I still don't own any of the characters owned by anyone else.
Hermione Granger listened to Flitwick's speech about the rules for the duel with growing apprehension. She unconsciously squeezed Harry's hand harder as her daughter in all but blood stepped up onto the dueling platform and turned to face Malfoy.
Harry winced as he felt the pressure on his hand from Hermione's nearly crushing grip. He wasn't exactly happy knowing that his daughter was going to duel. While he was fairly sure she would win he didn't trust Malfoy to not do something drastic if he realized he wasn't going to win.
Hermione tried to push back the fear that was clutching her heart as she watched her baby girl prepare to fight her first duel against an opponent that actually wanted to hurt her.
Neville Longbottom smiled as he watched Gabrielle glare at Malfoy. He noted with some amusement that she was still wearing her pixie outfit. Malfoy on the other hand had chosen black and green dress robes that would have almost managed to make him look dignified if it wasn't for the sneer on his face. He had to admit that he was looking forward to Malfoy getting crushed by his little garden girl. He fondly remembered all the hours they had spent discussing magic as they worked in the garden together. He remembered a few duels he himself had fought against her. He noticed that the rest of the Gryffindors were watching the duel with some concern.
Draco wasn't sure why he was being subjected to this farce. He just knew that he had to play a clean game while under the public eye but he was determined to make the little bitch play. He didn't think it was going to be hard but there was something vaguely unsettling about the way she was looking at him. He summoned up his Slytherin pride and pushed that thought to the back of his mind. He figured he just needed to knock her on her ass to make her cry like the little mudblood bitch she was.
Gabrielle frowned as she heard the announcement to start the duel. She inclined her head slightly never taking her eyes from Malfoy. She had barely finished the nod before he had screamed Expelliarmus. She swished her wand and deflected the spell causing it to harmlessly hit the wall. "Did the wall offend you?" She smiled as she heard his teeth grind in frustration. Bright flashes of energy dashed from her wand tip to slam into a hastily constructed shield that Malfoy created at the last second.
Lenora smiled as she noticed her sister's silent casting as opposed to Malfoy's shouted spells. She had to admit silent casting while harder gave you an advantage in a duel. She was just happy that someone other than her was getting a taste of his sister's dueling.
McGonagall was vaguely impressed as Malfoy conjured an impressive amount of fire at Gabrielle's feet. She was slightly more impressed as Gabrielle waved her left hand at it and froze it solid.
Harry sighed as Malfoy shouted "Serpensortia, Serpensortia." Two conjured serpents sprang out of Malfoy's wand. He shook his head briefly in amusement at Malfoy's mistake. Malfoy gestured with his wand at the two serpents as he shouted, "Engorgio." The two serpents grew even larger as the enlarging spell took effect. He noticed the gleeful look on Malfoy's face as he told his snakes to attack. Harry chuckled as Malfoy's face lost the happy expression when Gabrielle told the snakes to eat Malfoy.
Malfoy was shocked as his opponent just smiled before hissing at his snakes. He was even more surprised when the snakes turned on him darting in to bite at his ankles. He turned his attention from his opponent for a second as he vanished the snakes with a well cast Evanesco spell. He was getting seriously nervous as the duel was in no way turning out as he had expected. His attention was pulled firmly back to the fight as his opponent's severing charm slashed though his weakened shield and took a bit of flesh off his shoulder as it severed his robe's left sleeve. His face contorted in anger as she smiled and said, "Opps, sorry about the shoulder."
Snape watched his student lose it as he shouted spell after spell at the girl's shield with little success. Each spell becoming wilder and wilder as Malfoy's anger increased. He noticed the disturbing calm with which the girl picked apart all of the spells. He frowned as she snuck in another few severing charms that cost Malfoy most of the top part of his robes. He was wondering how far the professors would allow the duel to continue as the girl slipped in a spell that caused Malfoy's ears to grow pointed almost like an elf's. Snape could that tell most of the Hogwarts students and a few professors in the crowd were on the verge of laughing. Snape realized with a sinking feeling that Malfoy was being played with. He wasn't sure what Gabrielle's plan was but the calm and deliberate placement of the spells was starting to chill Snape. He had just decided that the duel needed to be called when Gabrielle smiled and conjured a large standing mirror near Malfoy. The look on Malfoy's face as he looked in the mirror and saw the elf ears removed all of Snape's doubts as to if Malfoy had lost his remaining sanity.
Harry seriously considered shouting a warning as he recognized the malicious look that crossed his daughter's face as she used the few seconds of Malfoy's stunned disbelief to gather her energy in a large swirling purple and black vortex of power.
Flitwick's face displayed his shock as the large mass of dark energy dashed from Gabrielle's outstretched hands to slam into Malfoy's shield shredding it like wet tissue paper and sending him crashing to the ground. Flickwick quickly shouted, "The duel is over."
Malfoy had barely managed to sit up when he felt a strange creeping sensation all over his body. Out of the corner of his eye he caught a strange sight in the mirror. His wand fell from his hand as the full horror of what had been done to him set in. He noticed an almost familiar face gazing back at him. If he had had a twin sister with elf ears the face would have been very familiar. The last thing he was aware of was a bright flash as his eyes rolled back in his head as he noticed the fact that he had decent sized breasts peeking out of his shredded robes.
Colin Creevey smiled as he snapped off a number of shots of Malfoy on the ground. He knew that he would have to disappear in the confusion if he wanted to make any money off the shots of Malfoy as a girl. He knew that a number of students would pay good money to have a shot of Malfoy's ultimate humiliation. He was just glad that he had looked up that duplication spell a few weeks ago.
Dumbledore stood up from his seat, "Now that the delightful duel is done we shall start the feast. Sadly I don't think Mister Malfoy is in any condition to attend the feast. Snape if you would be so kind as to take him to the infirmary, I'm sure he will be right as rain by the morning. Now if Miss Rosenberg would be so kind as to get off of the teachers table we can begin the feast."
Gabrielle smiled as she jumped down from the dueling platform and headed over to sit with her sisters. She knew she was going to hear about it in the morning when they found out that the curse on Malfoy wasn't going to be all that simple to remove but she figured she would worry about it in the morning.
