Tybalt had thought Miss Scamander's spell a strong opener - Miss Noel had sunk another foot or two into the floor into the quicksand, and if anyone could afford to lose so much of their bearing while retaining dignity, it probably wasn't her - but, diminutive stature or not, Miss Noel's transfiguration had hit, and without a working wand it was Miss Scamander, in the end, who would be worse off in this fight.

Tybalt ended both enchantments and said, "Miss Noel takes the round, and may begin the next!"
