Tommy’s dueling skill felt dusty. Now that he’d started to help with Barb’s bizarre investigations in earnest, it seemed they had a startling penchant for near-death encounters, which compelled the man to sharpen up at this clinic.
The benefit of living exclusively in wizarding society for all one’s life became clear as Tommy watched some of the earlier duels. No delusions here – these teeny-tiny kids in the student matches seemed fully capable of bludgeoning him half to death, should they need to. Speaking of which, he was startled to find one such teeny-tiny person, allegedly an adult, facing him now as a dueling partner. Just his luck… from experience, the small ones are usually feistiest.
Tom offered a wary smile, bowed, and looked a bit apologetic as he attempted to cast a torrential downpour of water over the other's head.
