Lady made Pumpkin's set

Emmeline was feeling rather good about herself though facing a Ravenclaw could be a bit daunting. With a smile, she nodded to her opponent before raising her wand and casting "expulso" at the ground in front of the Ravenclaw. Hopefully it would cause enough of an explosion to throw her opponent off guard.

The Gryffindor took the round quite decisively when, displaying no signs of confusion whatsoever, her spell threw Miss Whitledge off her feet.

"First points to Miss Woodcroft, who may begin the second round."

Emmeline cast the langlock spell hoping to securely glue her opponent's tongue to the roof of her mouth so that she couldn't speak to cast her owl spell.

Frowning at losing the first round of the second battle, Pumpkin decided to use Finite to try and stop Miss Woodcroft's spell.

Lady made Pumpkin's set

It wasn't an especially showy spell but it was a canny one and Miss Woodcroft smoothly took the second round and the duel.

"Five points to Gryffindor. Well done ladies."
