With her wand back, Charley felt the strong urge to just cut and run. It would have been easier, particularly while she still had some dignity left in her. Not that she didn't know the score, and what was left to settle between the two of them. It weighed heavily on side of the horsefaced girl, who was probably cheating by this point. She had been here first, after all, more than enough time to set a spell or enchantment to make all of hers go awry.
"Yer so bleedin' demanding," Charley scoffed, chuckling again at the lunatic girl. It was the only real way she was going to suffer the self-appointed professor, as the joke that she was. The urchin could do spells, she'd proven that enough already. It was generosity that she swished her wand the way the other girl wanted, something that Charley would be reminding her of someday. "Accio! "
Oh, she thought of where she wanted the rock to go. Smashing into that horseface was top of the urchin's thoughts as her wand flicked and the rock went moving. Flying. Sailing. Charley had to admit, it even felt quite satisfying.
For all of two seconds until it dropped to the ground with a clatter, and not even near Miss Professor's face.
Taking the other two steps to meet the rock, the urchin gave it a great, actually satisfying, kick. It flew, farther and longer, off somewhere into the darkness of the alley. She didn't care where, only happy she heard it clattering off somewhere it wouldn't be summoned again. "This is daft."
Her head gave a shake, and Charley put her hand up to support it. It was still wet, from all the soakings before. Heavier now, with the weariness from their duel. She was just plain tired of trying to please the horsefaced girl since she couldn't seem to beat her. "An' so're you. An' reckon I'm the dafter of the pair for even hearin' ya out."
She might as well head back to the shop, if Miss Professor would let her anymore.
