Her first duel! She'd written home to Momma and Poppa to the tell them and she hadn't been able to sleep past night with her excitement. Now in the moment, she realized she really wasn't all that sure about just how many people were staring at her. It was a bit different than being in class where everyone went at once. She was never the sole focus of someone's attention. Well she supposed Miss Shacklebolt was here too but she would just react to what Stella did. Everyone was waiting for her to start.

Returning her prefect's smile - it was reassuring to have someone she knew moderating- she looked towards the Ravenclaw girl and offered a second smile and the customary bow. Then she raised her pine wand and casted a dancing charm, hoping that if Miss Shacklebolt was to busy jigging she couldn't spare breath to block.
