Jules recognized the nerves he always felt when he was about to start a duel. Why did he sign up for this again? Luckily he knew they would disappear the moment they began, as adrenaline would take over. As he stood there he was happy with all the practice and experience he had in dueling from his time in the dueling club.

He looked at the woman in front of him, Antigone Lestrange. He recognized her from his time at Hogwarts, she had been in Slytherin if he remembered correctly. He did not remember if she was worth anything in a duel though, and prepared for the worst.

Faustus read the rules aloud and indicated for Jules to begin. Jules took a bow, as was expected of him, before he raised his wand.

'Here we go,' he thought as he flicked his wand. "Expelliarmus!"
