She hadn't necessarily expected to win a duel at all, but that she had certainly made her want to win another. She was tempted to start off with that flobberworm spell that had worked so nicely for her last time, but - as fun as it was - Phyri felt it a bit of a cop-out of creativity, to do the same thing twice.

So melofors seemed as good an option as any. Porphyria gave her wand a flourish and hoped to see Mr. Crouch's head encased in a pumpkin.

Dueling a woman! This was particularly exhilarating. Ben couldn't have been happier that they'd lifted the ban on women using combative magic (though he might feel differently if her spells went off too well).

With a flourish, Ben cast a rebounding charm before him, intending to send her spell back to her.

Crouch's efforts saw Miss Dempsey hit by her own spell. Once the effects were taken care of, Nikolai indicated for the wizard to begin the next pass.

For his round, Ben wanted something that would be suitably amusing but wouldn't embarrass the lady too much (assuming, of course, his success), so cast a light-hearted charm which would force her to tap dance uncontrollably.

Well, damn it.

Personally, she might have preferred the prospect of a more severe spell being angled her way; Porphyria had to brace herself for the thought of tap-dancing quite as strongly as she might have for an oncoming Cruciatus Curse. As it was, she opted for something similarly careless and light; hopefully the fur that sprouted uncontrollably all over him would not only make him look a fool, but hinder his line of sight.

"Congratulations to Mr. Crouch," Nikolai announced, the duel concluded.
