Castor Allaway vs. Rosamund Bones

[Icarus Prince]

Icarus read out the rules and it was great.

"Mr. Allaway may go first."

[Castor Allaway]

Sorry for the delay! Please do not tag me.

Castor felt a strange jumpy sensation in his stomach as he realized he was to face Miss Bones—of course, he would not be dueling her directly, but she was a very capable witch, and a small part of him didn’t quite want to beat her. Still as an auror-to-be, he could not get squeamish. The Gryffindor cast a spell that would encase his dummy in a block of ice.

[Rosamund Bones]

Rommy had first participated in a dueling tournament two summers back. Then, she'd not participated again for various reasons, ranging from business to mourning for her father. She actually preferred potion brewing ones as competitions went, but it would  be some time before her club hosted one of these so she'd settled for the dueling tournament. 

She'd been paired with Castor Allaway - how amusing! It was as if whoever arranged the pairings new they were friends. 

For her first display, Rommy attempted to turn a single white slipper into an ermine.

Mr. Allaway's spell only succeeded in making his dummy somewhat frosty, whereas Miss Bones succeeded in a very accomplished transfiguration. 

"Miss Bones has the first round and may start the next."

[Rosamund Bones]

She'd won! Rommy didn't think that her ermine would turn out so well. It wasn't like she'd had a lot of transfiguration practice with Professor Swott on board. 

She shot up Mr. Allaway a smile, before attempting to turn the ermine into a swan.

[Castor Allaway]

With a sheepish smile at Miss Bones, Castor attempted to cast a patronus.

[Icarus Prince]

Miss Bones' transfiguration was on point today. Unfortunately, the same could not be said for Mr. Allaway and his patronus. There was a nice wisp of silver but sadly nothing more than that. "Miss Bones wins the duel!"
