Slytherin Honor Duel
Chapter 2
Handle it like Wizards
By: Deep Shadows

Disclaimer: You know the drill. I created The idea for a Slytherin Honor Duel! It's MINE ALL MINE!!! Just wanted to clairfy. Muahahaha.

Brilliance is just insanity under some form of control {Quoted rom EckoStalker}

Artimis was furious. Apparently it had looked as if she was cursing the broom so she was the one who received detention. Her 'loving' boyfriend Draco didn't even speak up and defend her. The weirdest part of the entire ordeal was that Professor Snape kept looking at her and then to Draco as if her was expecting her to say something about him. No way I'm squealing on him on top of all this... She thought as she was told to report at the dungeons at nine that evening. She was partly glad detention was with her head of house instead of Filch. He was a hard ass and no fun with out Alexis. Artimis stalked of towards the Slytherin common room as Draco followed her trying to talk to her.

"Babe, come on. What's the matter? Talk to me." he said as she walked past the statue to the common room. She turned to face him anger at his stupidity. "Oh I don't know what's the matter with me. Maybe it's I saved your ass from expulsion and you couldn't own up to a lousy Detention!"

"Back so soon, Callabella? Here to pack your bags?" Parkinson asked snidely from behind Artimis. Artimis spun around, wand drawn, forgetting her anger at Draco and refocusing it on Pansy. Pansy laughed and fumbled in her cloaks for her own wand.

"Seriously Callabella, Dueling me is not your brightest idea. I don't fight fair." She chided, wand now in hand.

"Neither do I?" Artimis hissed. "Eight tonight. Honor duel. Trophy room. Tell and perish. We shall settle this like Wizards." Artimis spouted off quickly replacing her wand in her robes.

"Fine with me. Who's your second?" Pansy asked putting her own wand away. Artimis raised her eyebrows in interest. "Wouldn't you like to know?" she said as she turned and slowly stalked out of the room. After the door closed she dropped her act and ran to the 'Gymnastics Room'. Alexis was in there doing flips and twirls to work up a sweat before double potions. "Hey Prancer. Why the long face?" Alexis snickered as she landed a jump.

"Alexis. I just challenged Pansy Parkinson to a duel and I don't have a second!" Artimis quickly spilled.

"I can be-"

"No. The duel is a Slytherin only thing. Time honored tradition. No one in my house likes me enough to be my second. I have a better chance at asking Snape if-"

"Why don't you?" Alexis asked her eyes widening in pure mischief.

"Why don't I what?" Artimis asked dropping into a backbend and looking at her oddly.

"Get Snape to be your second? He's a Slytherin." Alexis implied.

"Yes and a teacher and my head of house. Besides Parkinson challenged my loyalty to my house. She called me a disgrace to the name Slytherin."

"Callabella, Whyte, when will you learn to silence these doors?" A cold voice rang out through the room from the door. Artimis's legs collapsed under her and she stood quickly while Alexis fell mid-backhand spring.

"So Ms. Callabella, You challenged Ms. Parkinson to a duel, and you are in need of a second. Why not ask Mr. Malfoy?" Snape questioned moving into the room.

"Um.... Cause he's a jerk and got her a detention." Alexis interjected. Snape narrowed his black eyes at her. "I do not believe your name is Callabella, Ms. Whyte."

"Sir... Are you going to bust the duel now?" Artimis asked fearfully. Oh shit... Damn it now It will look like i ratted her out... More to disgrace my name...

" No. I should, but... since it is my own house I will allow it to happen. Besides, It's been nearly fifty years since a Slytherin Honor Duel has occurred. Should be entertaining." Both girls' jaws dropped in shock and Artimis began stuttering.

"Y..Your.. No...Not. Wow...um.." She rambled. I'm dreaming... I'm going to wake up and this will all be a dream...

"Come now stop your gawking. You need to find a second." He said smirking.

'Sir will you be her second?" Alexis asked and he turned to look at her about to say something.

"Yes, Sir would you be my second?" Artimis mimicked quickly. he raised his eyebrow in thought and stood there for a moment. Alexis and Artimis looked at each other in disbelief. No way... Now I know this isn't real.... Severus Snape is going to be my second in a duel...DUDE....

"Very well. I don't recall any rules about teachers being involved. I don't plan on you dieing anyways." He said stalking off towards the door. He stopped and uttered two words, "Where? When?"

"Eight. Trophy room." She replied in shock as he walked out of the room.

"Training time." Alexis yelled grabbing Artimis's arm and dragging her to their own dueling deck.
