Miss Bell's spell hit Mr. Fudge solidly, promptly made him unbalance, and his spell shot in entirely the wrong direction – indeed, it hit Carmelina, of all people. She keeled over in a (rather well cast) fully body bind, and had to be hastily revived by a spectating member of staff.

Rather embarrassed by these proceedings, Carmelina hauled herself to her feet again and pronounced Miss Bell the winner of the duel.
