Disclaimers: You know the jive!! READ AND REVIEW!!

"Neither one of you can leave this room until the duel is resolved. Artimis, you are the challenger so you pick the caller. Seconds will remain off of the platform until the first is either unconscious or incapable to continue. This is not a death duel. The loser of this Duel will have to live the life of shame and be an outcast. All is at stake for both of you. Are you both sure you wish to continue?" Professor Snape asked, standing between them on the platform. He looked like a professional duelist, as did Artimis, but he had the presence of one. He stood tall and his uniform accented every muscle in his legs and arms. Artimis nodded her head and looked to Pansy who glared and nodded defiantly.

"Very Well. Artimis choose your caller." He said stepping off the platform.

Artimis looked through the crowd and spotted Draco with the 'goons'.He was looking about lazily and yawning. She pointed at him and yelled, "Draco! I want him to be the caller."

"Callabella, Why are you choosing your boyfriend to be the caller?" Pansy asked, hands once again on her hips. Artimis lowered her head and smirked maliciously raising her head slowly. "Because my dear he has a thing for both of us and therefore will not cheat on my behalf or yours." Draco walked forward and looked at them both. "Ready?" He asked.

"Absolutely." Artimis replied coldly, her eyes never leaving Pansy's.

"Let's do this." Pansy replied her gaze locked with Artimis.

"Wands at the ready. Bow." They did so Artimis letting her maliciousness show on the outside. Pansy returned the glared of hatred and they turned to walk. Artimis looked at Snape who nodded in approval. If there was one thing to boost her confidence it was that.

"On the count of three... One... Two... Three."

"Expelliarmus!" Artimis yelled just before Pansy yelled of her spell, "Silencio!"

Pansy was lifted into the air and Artimis quickly regained her pose, glad that Pansy had failed. Pansy landed and threw "Sangueflus!" Artimis quickly leapt into a backhand spring and the curse cleared her. "Lepidae!" She yelled her wand as she landed. It hit Pansy and she fell in pain, screaming loudly. Artimis winced as she watched the spell wear off and Pansy stood glaring. She saw Pansy look around the crowd of Slytherins and then smirk. Next thing Artimis knew she fell in pain from a curse outside of the duel. Suddenly, there was a loud crack as blue light dashed over her and Pansy fell to the ground as Snape stood up on the platform. Artimis could not move her wand arm; it felt like there were several saws moving along it. There was another crack and someone in the crowd fell in pain. She heard snape yelling something but she ignored it focusing on Pansy and her other. Artimis felt the feeling come back to her arm and she stood, as Pansy's second threw a breath holding spell at Snape. Artimis tried to block it ,but her timing was off. She quickly took out Pansy's second with quick "Petrificus Totalus ."

Pansy stood angerly, pointing her wand at Artimis and Artimis yelled "Deprecino Delacorus!" Pansy was thrown up into the air and landed on fire. She rolled about and screamed as the flames went out. Artimis simply bound Pansy with a binding spell and stated, "Hold duel!" which was only allowed once during the duel. Turning around she quickly moved over to Snape, who had fallen to the ground, struggling for breath and was beginning to turn blue. She quickly began to recite the reverse incantation but It didn't work the first time. Oh no. I should have studied those notes that Alexis had... She tried a second time, it failed and the look in Snape's eyes terrified her. She knew he was slowly suffocating and she had to do something fast or he would die. As she was redoing the counter charm he passed out, his face turning purple. She quickly undid the charm, but he didn't start breathing when it was lifted. What was that thing called…? CPR... Um... I have to... I can't let him die... Ekkk... Please don't hex me... She thought rapidly as she undid the top buttons of his topcoat and pressed hard on his sternum. She heard sharp inhales all around her, but she ignored them, focusing on the task of making him breath. She undid the topcoat and his shirt completely, pressed both her hands on the bare skin of his chest and counted compressions. After ten, she moved over his head and she tilted his head back, pinching his nose. Oh god... Please don't wake up and hex me... Please don't die either... She prayed as she lowered her mouth onto his and breathed three quick breaths into his lungs. There were 'ewwws' coming in surround sound around her but she once again ignored them. She gladly felt his lungs expand and retract under her hand which was on his chest. She lifted her head quickly and went back to doing the chest compressions. After three times, she breathed into his mouth and she felt him breath against her breath and struggle against her his hands moving towards her head. She quickly lifted up her face and moved back. He looked confused and outraged and above all like he was going to kill her.

"Please don't. I just saved you. Explain later. Duel to finish." She said speedily, hoping quickly on to the platform. He went to say something but she turned her back to him. She looked around and saw everyone gasping at her, jaws dropped in shock and disgust. "Duel resume!" She pointed her wand at Pansy and let her loose from her bindings. She obviously had too much on her mind to realize the duel had re-begun.

Pansy stood and sneered, "Enjoyed that didn't you? Your a disgusting excuse for a -."

"Silencio!" Artimis yelled and Pansy tried to yell a spell but no noise came from her mouth. She looked at Pansy's second, who was down on the ground trying to come out of a paralysis spell.

Draco yelled out loudly, "Duel over, Winner Artimis Callabella. The duel is a finalizing agreement. Pansy Parkinson is not to be talked to and is to be cast out among us." Pansy looked as if she was about to cry and she ran off. Artimis looked behind her and Snape had just finished redoing his buttons. She tentatively walked towards him and he glowered. "You have a detention to get to. Move it!" He growled and she quickly undid the platform with a flick of her wand and grabbed her cloak. She threw it over her shoulders and rushed out to hear Snape yell to the remaining Slytherins "To the dorms. Now!" She quickly ran for the dungeons, desperately trying to get the thought that her lips had been on Snape's. You were saving his life you sick fuck... You are lucky that you are still alive... There is nothing about that that should give you butterflies in your stomach... She thought as she reached the girls lavatory and changed quickly. She did not want flobberworm guts on her mother's Duelist outfit. She quickly walked into the Potion's class and sat down at a table. She lowered her head into her hands. "He's going to kill me. I am going to be the new ingredient for tomorrow's potion." She whispered to herself not noticing him walk in.

Severus: It's called CPR you moron.
Deep Shadows: Just wait till you see what I do next hehehehe
