Nell grinned at the aftermath of what lay before her. Technically, both spells had hit their mark, which in many circumstances would have resulted in a draw. However.
However.
Dursley's spell had hit its mark first, silencing the Gryffindor prefect. And yet, Miss Valenduris had managed to cast her spell anyway through sheer force of will. Nonverbal magic was difficult even for the practiced witch or wizard; many—Nell included—never managed to do much more than simple household charms with it. It might have been a fluke (the Gryffindor did have a reputation for being competitive, after all), but damned if Isobel Valenduris hadn't gone and done it.
"Point Valenduris!" Nell declared, after relieving both students of their newfound impedements. "Miss Valenduris, when you are ready for our next pass."
