duel time, lovies

[cessy_]

The Ball had ended, and while Cecilia had a wonderful time, she knew the real fun hadn't even started yet. Hiking up the hem of her gown, the Slytherin princess debated on changing, but then her ego got the best of her. Cheyenne wasn't going to be much of a hassle, and why waste time? Letting Draco and Mori know where she was going, she grabbed her

"Has she chickened out?" Mori asked, walking up to her closest friend and sitting down beside her.

She had thought she was late but the duel hadn't even started yet. If Cheyenne wasn't showing up, things were going to be worse for her. This was valuable time the girl was wasting.

"Of course I haven't," snapped Cheyenne, walking out with her wand already drawn, hitching up her skirt and kicking her shoes off quickly.

Draco sneered as he walked past Cheyenne to stand beside Mori and Cessy.

"Good to see you've finally shown up, but where's your little Mudblood girlfriend?" he asked, sounding bored as he studied his cuticles. "Kind of cruel of her to leave you alone to rot, isn't it?"

"Granger obviously isn't cut out for this," Cecilia sneered, coming from behind Mori and Draco.

She rose her eyebrows toward Cheyenne, with a smug grin on her pale face.

"But let's not waste anymore time, shall we?"

"Protego!" Cheyenne heard herself shout, barely aware of what she was doing. The shield deflected the curse easily, and she used the miniscule gap in time that it bought to squeeze in a new curse she'd just looked up-- "Opugno" she tried, and three crows emitted from her wand with a bang, attacking Jacobs with a sudden, frightening ferocity.

Harry arrived late, but when he saw that the duel was already in progress, he moved up until he was lingering only a few feet behind the two girls.

His hand immediately gripped around his wand, although he kept it aimed downward to be sure he didn't use it. Nothing was more uncertain than facing off against Slytherins. They talked about fairness and being self-sufficient, but everyone knew a Slytherin would use any tactic to win when it came down to the end.

In fact, most Slytherins prided themselves on it.

Connemara had just launched an attack that Jacobs couldn't easily deflect entirely, which was a smart move. If nothing else, it should buy her a few seconds even if it did likely mean an angrier attack would come in retaliation.

ooc: One of the two of you will eventually be hit by a curse, yeah? ;)

[oof: I fully expect Cheyenne to go down any minute now... she really knows about three hexes, and only ever learned anything about Defense in theory. I hope Harry knows first aid?]

As soon as she heard the words uttered from the girl's mouth, she let out a shriek and covered her face with her hands. They crows came directly at her, and began pecking away at her hands and shoulders.

It took her a few minutes to battle the birds away, and this time, she was really angry. Her fingers were bleeding slightly from the pecks, and her shoulders stung. She couldn't lose this now.

"Serpensortia!" she snapped, and a vicious green snake appeared before Connemara and began to hiss dangerously, slithering its way closer to her.
