With her terrible dueling luck the last thing she wanted or needed was to have her father moderating her duel. It wasn't the first time but knowing he was right there watching and very literally judging, made her twice as nervous as she might otherwise have been. It might not have mattered so much if she didn't have a history of bottling it.
Her insides clenched uncomfortably as she readied her first spell in her mind. The odds of her winning the whole tournament were so small that it wasn't even occurring to her as a possibility but she did want to at least win one round. "Stupefy!" It was a spell she'd managed to perform non-verbally but feeling as anxious as she did she thought her chances were better if she actually spoke the incantation. If she was going out this round she didn't want any mistakes or regrets weighing on her mind.
