Ladies Duel: Miss G. Baker vs. Miss P. Dempsey - Charles Macmillan - March 4, 2021
March 7th, 1891 — Hogsmeade Memorial Ballroom, Hogsmeade
Oh Miss Baker was still here, was she? How unexpected. Her opponent this time was Miss Dempsey. Charles didn't claim to know Miss Dempsey but from what he'd heard he was glad not to. "You may begin, Miss Baker."

Another round, another opponent. Gertrude was ready. Gertrude did not know Miss Dempsey, but she knew she had what it took to beat her. She knew her. This was round three - she could taste the victory.
To start the duel, Gertrude attempted to conjure a group of birds that would swarm Miss Dempsey, although not maul her.

Birds again! Phyri was tempted to recreate the carcass from earlier, but she didn’t know if these ones would like that as much as the crows, so - she threw up a shield that, if it worked, would stun the birds when they flew into it and send them flumping to the floor. (More comatose than dead - but anyway, did killing conjured things even really count as murder? Miss Baker was a lawyer. She would probably know.)

There was a string of gentle 'thuds' as the birds hit Miss Dempey's shield and ricocheted off it forming a little pool of dazed birds on the floor. Charles realized he was staring at one in particular whose spindly little leg was twitching in the air. Lovely. He waved his wand and sent the birds back into the nothingness from whence they came. "Miss Dempsey wins the first round and will start the next."

This time, Phyri cast a variation of that slug-vomiting hex - a kinder one, she thought - whereby Miss Baker should be a little too busy coughing up frogs to cast a decent countercharm.

No. That wasn't how that was supposed to go. It seemed Miss Dempsey had a few tricks up her sleeve. No bother though - Gertrude would pull this back.
She cast a simple shield spell to protect herself.

Charles would never know how fortunate he had been that Miss Baker could cast a robust shield charm. Women dueling offensively was distasteful, women wounding each other was even more so, but women grotesquely hexing each other so that foul creatures that ought never to be near a woman would spill forth from the same place as kisses were bestowed? Repugnant, repulsive, obscene! He couldn't bear it.
"Please begin the deciding round, Miss Baker."

Excellent. Now that was more like it. Only one more round to go.
She attempted to hit Miss Dempsey with a confusion hex, to finish the duel off.

Hm. She would have to get some more practice in on that one, maybe test the frog charm out on someone later. In the meantime, Phyri tried to transfigure Miss Baker's wand into bone, hoping that she was not too late to still win this.
RE: Ladies Duel: Miss G. Baker vs. Miss P. Dempsey - Charles Macmillan - March 5, 2021
Miss Baker's wand clattered to the floor and Miss Dempsey remained unhexed. "The duel goes to Miss Dempsey!" Charles thought he would rather have seen Miss Baker progress.
