Challenged to a MAGIC DUEL by Blake

As you make your way back from Detention, you hear a rhythmic click click click echoing around the corner. You pause, wondering. This doesn't sound like a student in House shoes.

But round the corner comes a petite feminine figure in House robes. She looks up in curiosity at you loitering by the corner. "Poesy?" she says. It's Fauna Aspen, the forest-girl you saw in the lounge. Fauna goes shoeless, her hooves clicking on the floor. "Better make yourself scarce, there are some people really cross at you."

"Which way?" you say.

Fauna shrugs. "Dinnah," she says, drawling it out in an accent you can't place. "G'luck." She clicks off down the hall.

You look left and right. Which way to go?

But before you decide, someone comes round the corner.

"You. Poesy," the fellow says. It's a gangly fellow that you last saw collapsed in the hall after Susan Quaffle had put him to sleep. Blake, she'd called him. "We're having it out."

There are footsteps behind you. More faces you recognize from the lounge.

"I demand satisfaction," Blake says. "Prepare to defend yourself."

"All right," you say. It's not the first time you've had a duel.

The others clear a section of hallway for you and Blake. You and Blake ready your wands. You frame CHARM. No sense in being any more of an ass here.

"On the fifth beat," one of them calls, casting a pulsing ward between you.

The others chant along with each pulse, "One...Two...Three...Four...Five!"

You loose your CHARM as Blake casts his spell.
