First person mentioned in the thread title is the first person to start off the duel.
As in, where she would get to DUEL with a REAL person.
Was Katherine excited? You BET! Was she nervous? Much more than she let it show. She was nervous, because deep down, she knew she was a coward and she could only hope that the other person would go softly on her, so that... she wouldn't have to beg or cry and would still save her reputation. She wasn't even a fight person, this was aaaaaall in education and for self-protection for when she became the Minister (she would have to protect herself from the evil, wouldn't she?).
Anyway, with small but firm steps (told ya you'd never guess she was at her most nervous), she approached to the area she and Olivia would be duelling in. As far as her observations went, Olivia was a sweet and friendly girl. They even sat together for the HoM, so Katherine... got hopeful that she would take pity on her. Yeeeeeah. Even though you could never trust a Gryffindor (except for Blaise and Yoongi).
The Ravenclaw took a deeeeeeeeep breath. "Hi Olivia," she greeted, smiled and bowed gracefully. Now that the polite stuff was out of the way...
"CANTIS!" she yelled as quickly as possible as a white jet of light left the tip of her wand - she had been practising the spells she had chosen ever since she'd signed up for the club. She got this. SHE GOT THIS!

It. Was. TIME....and Olivia Phillips was already prepared to get DIRTEH! She reasoned, in the small amount of space that Gryffindors were capable, that it wouldn't really be HER fault. Her daddy had encouraged dueling to WIN, you see. She was simply following orders. So, YEP! AHEM, decked out in her dueling clothes, wand gripped tightly in her hand, she marched with purpose towards the center of the dueling ring. While she felt like the epitome of COOL, it stood to reason that she simply appeared as adorable. Livy was a little ol' thing, anyway.
BUT....BUT.....
...HERE SHE WAS! Did everyone see her?! Could everyone hear her? DID SHE HAVE AN AUDIENCE?!
...and the person she was facing off against didn't even matter. Not to her! This was all for fun, anyway. Like with their epic food fight, Liv could destroy someone and still love them. So, NO HARD FEELINGS........Katherine. EEP! "HAI, KATHERINE!" Her earlier purposeful stride was immediately discredited by the large, pretty smile on her face. FRIENDSIES!
Ahem, weren't they supposed to bow to one another? That was a thing, right? Oh, yea! The other girl was bowing, so...Liv quickly did the same, so not to appear silly. Although, hers looked more like a princess!curtsy...but, once again, not her fault. She just happened to be a princess, didn't YOU know?.....and okay, her reflexes weren't as fast as they COULD be (thanks to her eating habits, PROBABLY), but her dancing helped a little bit. Ballet could do that! It built your muscles up really strong and gave you a bit more stamina. So, before she could properly get Protego out of her mouth, her small body had simply twirled out of the way. PIQUE TURNS!
Righting herself, the tiny blonde did the first thing that came to mind and flung her wand out, shouting the scorching spell. FLAMES! FIRE! YASSSS......Wait, that was acceptable, right? It was all good in the name of winning......right?
Bring. It.

Well, sorry Olivia, but Katherine was MORE determined. She didn't even need a daddy to tell her to win (because her mum was the most ambitious one ahem). She was going to win, because she wanted it her -
NONONONO THIS WAS REAL FIRE SHE WAS GOING TO B U R N OLIVIA WAS TRYING TO KILL HER -
"MURDER! AGUAMENTI! HELP!"
WHAT KIND OF A PERSON EVEN SET PEOPLE ON FIRE!?!?!?! WHERE WAS THE PROFESSOR!? AND NO, IT DIDN'T MATTER THAT HER AGUAMENTI WAS ENOUGH TO PUT IT OUT, SHE WAS OUT.

Oh Merlin.
When he'd opened up the Dueling Club again, never in his deepest, darkest nightmares did he imagine one of the students trying to set the other on fire. Sure, maybe there would be some hurt feelings and anger issues to be let out but fire?! Literal fire was around the smart Ravenclaw and Hirsch was sure that he was going to have heart problems because of this.
And to think the two were only first years. Merlin.
Letting out a yelp, the man ran forwards and took away the flames that had been dancing around Katherine with a convenient Finite spell. All sense of being calm and collected were gone as he turned to the young girl. "Merlin, are you okay?! You're not hurt, right?" He looked her up and down, checking for any signs of burns but................. Merlin.
Okay, breathe, good sir.
"I guess, that makes you, Miss Phillips," he said, turning to look over at the Gryffindor, "the winner. Well done!"
