December 10th, 1892 — Hogwarts Great Hall
Dueling Tournament

While Hamish did enjoy the raw enthusiasm of younger students, he had to admit, older students had more finesse as they dueled, and both Miss Thompsett and Mr. Hobday seemed likely to bring skill to this particular table. After reviewing the rules, Hamish directed the Slytherin to begin.

He was facing off against a friend which made Leander a little more ambivalent about who would win. He did hope it would be himself, though. To start them off, Leander cast the jelly fingers jinx.

Sisse Thompsett

Admire all of you
But fire burns me too
Can't stop that disco getting through
Can't stop that disco wanting you.

With a smile at Mr. Hobday Sisse took a stealing breathe. Just treat it like class or a Dueling club meeting, she coached herself. She had done these competitions before, every year except the last, but that year without seemed to make this time round that much harder.

So she started safe with a shield charm, casting it with a gently spoken, "Protego."

"An excellent shield charm, Miss Thompsett," Hamish commended, the Gryffindor making easy work of Hobday's own spell. "You may begin the second pass."

The spell without a hitch and Sisse found a smile on her lips at the praise. This was what it felt like.

With a bit more confidence she cast a tickling charm.

Leander Hobday

For his spell, Leander tried a spell that would turn the girls spell back onto its caster.

Hamish Darrow / Aldous Crouch

Once more, the Gryffindor proved successful, and so Hamish proclaimed, "The match to Miss Thompsett! Well done, and five points to Gryffindor!"
