CHAPTER 4: DUELS 101

The kids got to the classroom and the teacher was sit on his desk, -"Please everybody come in, I have a surprise for today"- he happily said. When everyone was sat he stood up. -"OK today's lesson is gonna be Practice"- he grinned, everybody clapped and cheered.

-"Ok ok not that much Practice, I'm going to make a diagnostic"- he said in the middle of the loud -"everybody writes their name down on a parchment, and folds it"- all the kids quickly took their quills and a piece of parchment and wrote their names. The teacher bent his wand and all the pieces of parchment started to levitate around the classroom then he pointed his wand at a wall and the parchments got sticked on it in pairs. "We're working in couples so go ahead and read who your mate is" the teacher smiled.

All the kids stood up and rushed into the wall.

-"Yeay"- two pitching voices yelled at once and two of three Jennifers hugged, -"we're together"- they said in unison and then the two girls hugged Jennifer -"sorry, girlfriend"- they exclamed.

-"Don't worry"- she sighed, -"ok but who's Logan?"- she frowned.

Logan looked at the blonde girl -"I a-a-am"- he stammered -"mmm I'm Logan"- he cleared his throat.

-"Whatever"- the blonde Jennifer pouted.

Kendall and Carlos looked at the wall and then they looked at each other -"Be careful with her"- they both yelled at the same time.

-"Our well-known pure-blood boy"- Jett chuckled "Perfect"

-"Ok now everybody, in front of your partner if you please"- The teacher said.

All the kids made two lines. -"Everybody try to disable your opponents and block theirs attacks; If you're defeat you're eliminated, the winner gets points to their house and a special thing"-

-"WAIT WHAT?"- Logan yelled -"Is this some kind of duel?"- he scowled

-"If you want to Mr. Mitchell"- The teacher grinned -"NOW"- he screamed.

In a moment there were all the kids flicking his wands, casting spells.

Then a pink light hit Logan's wand and made it fly. -"Mitchell you're out, Miss Jennifer you're in"- The teacher screamed.

Logan just moaned and sat, there was some kids already eliminated.

Suddenly some oranges sparkles flew right to Carlos' hand -"Sorry Mr. Garcia you're out, great job missy Jo Taylor"-

-"Sorry Carlos"- Jo apologized to Carlos.

-"Don't worry"- he smiled and sat next to Logan.

-"Beated for some blonde girls"- Carlos put his arm around Logan's neck.

-"I know, dude"- Logan laughed.

Then somebody wept, -"Sorry Jennifer, Jennifer you're in"- A brunette girl sat in the desk rudely and looked down, while the curly girl came right to her and hugged her -"sorry Jenni"-

There was just two couples still fighting, Kendall versus Camille and James versus Jett. Camille was good blocking Kendall but then she looked at her right and a golden light reached her wand.

-"Kendall you're in"- the teacher said.

-"Sorry Camille"- Kendall hugged her.

-"Don't worry, I just got distracted by them"- and she motioned her head to James and Jett.

And she was right, the brunet boy swaggered his wand and blocked all the things Jett casted, some purple flashes bursted out from James' wand but Jett intersected them. But then a red X came out from Jett's wand and hit on James' chest. A thud boomed all over the classroom and the brunet boy groaned in pain.

-"THAT'S NOT FAIR"- Kendall yelled -"he used a curse"-

-"Anything goes"- Jett mocked.

James was curling up on the floor, he put his arms around his body and groaned louder.

-"OK everybody waits here while I took Mr Diamond to the hospital wing"- and the teacher grabbed to James by an arm. Kendall pushed Jett away and then he gripped James by the other arm -"I help you proffesor"- the blond boy said -"Thank you, Knight"- his professor replied.

In the hospital wing Madame Pomfrey laid James on a bed -"Don't worry, professor, it's not a curse, just a jinx" she rubbed James' head "Let him here so I could take care of him". She smiled at Kendall.

Kendall sighed deeply -"You need to disqualified him, sir"- Kendall argued.

-"Sorry Knight but I can't, The couples are full"- The proffesor ran his hand on his forehead. Kendall just lifted up a eyebrow.

When Kendall and the proffesor walked back in the classroom the students had surrounded Jett and everybody was yelling.

"Ok we're going to continue" he said above the noise -"now the next duels are-

Megan and Wayne

Jennifer and Kendall

Jo and Jennifer

Steffannie and Jett"

Wayne beated Megan quickly, Kendall disarmed the blonde Jennifer with a golden lighting making her wand to trip over, the curly Jennifer beated Jo with some sparkles crashing into her wand, Steffannie, a ravenclaw, was beated by Jett, this time he was barely fair.

In the third round Wayne casted a ray of light right into Kendall but he made it rebounded to Waynes' wand and Jett beated Jennifer sending her wand to fly away.

-"So.. our Final is two gryffindor faced"- the professor smirked -"Mr. Knight against Mr Stetson"- he motioned at each one. -"Keep it right"- he pointed at Jett.

-"Yeah yeah, whatever"- Jett rolled his eyes -"Are you ready Kendork?"-

-"Bring it on"- Kendall grinned.

Jett flicked his wand away spelling some red and black arrows, Kendall made a circle with his wand and a small blue ball intercepted the arrows. Jett grunted in displeasure. Kendall whipped his wand back and forth and three yellow beams came out from it, Jett blocked two of them, but the third one hit him in the belly. Jett tripped all over the room and landed sat on his butt. Everybody laughed at him followed by loud cheers for Kendall, Jo and Camille ran and hugged him.

-"Ok everybody calms down"- The professor put his hand on Kendall's head -"Congratulations Mr Knight"- raising his hand he yelled -"20 points to Gryffindor and here you had" he handed a leather sack to Kendall, "It's a dragoon's scale"

Kendall looked at the sack doubting with his eyebrows lifted. The proffesor chuckled. -"It's very useful in protective charms"-

When all the students got to the Great Hall for dinner eveybody was whispering about the same two things, James' absence in the dinner and Kendall's scale of dragoon.

-"How is James?"- Camille asked

-"Madame Pomfrey said that it was just a jinx and she knew the perfect healing spell to make him feel better"- Kendall said smiling.

-"Cool, and do you already know what's the best use for your new belonging"- Jo said to Kendall.

-"No, I don't"- Kendall replied.

-"Well, you're lucky to have smart friends like Logan and me"- Jo smirked

-"We were reading and those scales are use in the making of Proctective Charms"- Logan responded.

-"That was what the teacher said"- Kendall pouted

-"Protective Charms works along with powerful magic, like love, this piece is really unique" Jo continued ignoring Kendall's gestures.

-"It's going to protect you and the person who truly loves you"- Logan finished Jo's sentence

-"Neat, so I'm going to keep it save"- Kendall stood up of the table "Now, I'm really tired and I'm craving for tomorrow's flying lesson. I'm going to bed"- Kendall waved his hand to his friends.

-"See you tomorrow"- Camille waved his hand back to Kendall.

-"Yes I think I'm going to prepare myself too"- Logan stated as he felt how a cold drop of sweating poured down his forehead.
