It was just her luck to not only get one of the few members of staff she had no desire to duel whatsoever but also to have that duel being overseen by someone who was...distracting at best. Connie tried to ignore both things as she inclined her head towards Professor Darrow respectfully, feeling the chatter amongst the crowd die down as she raised her wand and attempted to encase the man in a glass box.

The thing with Miss Sykes and Mr. Darrow was that they were both good, they were skilled, and Miss Sykes' spell would have been formidable had it not been averted by an extremely successful disarmament. Conveniently, her wand landed near Rose's feet, and Rose handed it off to Connie before bidding Mr. Darrow to begin the second round.

At least she hadn't been turned into a bloody animal again. Taking the loss in her stride Connie aimed to immobilise the Professor before he could properly cast his spell.

Professor Darrow's spell again triumphed narrowly, and Rose awarded him the duel.
