Ravenclaw Duel Competition Tryout

[Headmistress Dagner]

Infamous Hogwarts is going to have a house duelling competition.

• A male and a female from each house will represent each house.
  
• To decide who will represent each house, there will be a tryout thread. This thread is the Ravenclaw thread. If you are not in Ravenclaw, then you need to go to the correct thread for your house.
  
• To tryout, you will need to stand out from all of the other applicants. This means you must have a good RP, you must be active and you must stand out from all the other people applying in your house.
  The competition will be held once all competitors are chosen, at a convenient time for everyone entering.
  
• To tryout all you need to do is to role-play a duel against a mannequin.

Her wand clutched loosely in her hand, Headmistress Dagner skipped into the lounge. As she reached the centre of the room, Headmistress Dagner came to a halt. Summer was drawing closer and closer by the day, so the evening sun was still gleaming through the colourful stained glass windows.

Headmistress Dagner flicked her hollow wand, and within an instant a life-sized mannequin, with a red and white target on its chest appeared. The sofas had already been moved to the side, so that people could duel properly.

From the pocket of her emerald green robes, Headmistress Dagner pulled a piece of parchment. The parchment read “ Ravenclaw duel tryouts only”. With her wand, she pinned it to the door of the lounge. Satisfied with what she had done, she plunged herself onto the sofa, waiting for the first person to arrive.

[shadow=teal,left,300][glow=orange,2,300]Raven slipped in the classroom with her birch-wood wand in her hand. she had a determined look on her face and she looked like she had been practicing for a long time. Raven had a bunch of blue-little-song birds following her. "Where is everyone?" Raven asked.[/glow][/shadow]

Mariliza stormed into the room, ready for the try-outs. Of course, she wouldn't be dueling anyone. Just against mannequin. However, she was sure that the Headmistress would have made them life-like. Yep she thought as she looked around. The dummies were moving around the room.

Hearing a girl, she turned around. "Some of us are trying to concentrate" she said, trying not to be rude. But, this was truly important to Liz. Hmm... Mariliza contemplated different spells and hexes to use on the mannequin she had chosen to attack.

"Furnunculus" She said clearly, hoping it would work. Surely enough, boils began to appear on the mannequin's skin. Secretly wondering how that could be. It's skin wasn't real. Another spell soon came to mind "Incendio" the dummy was now on fire. It was a pretty interesting site. Although, she would never use this on another wizard, or muggle for that matter. At least the thing wasn't living. Yes, that sure makes up for being set on fire. Not being alive.

Smiling, Liz knew what to do she said "Levicorpus" and it began levitating through the air. "Evanesco" was the spell she followed though with.

Poof, the mannequin was gone. Setting her wand down on a small table nearby, Mariliza whispered, "I love magic."

[Raven Negrohearté]

[glow=turquoise,2,300] Hem hem.*Raven cleared her throat and locked her eyes on a mannequin* "Sectumsempra!" she yelled. As she said it, big, ugly gashes appeared on the surprised dummy. Blue blood-like liquid poured out of its newly made cuts. Concentrating really hard Raven said "Deflagratio!" Flames shot out of her wand and the fire engulfed the dummy's flimsy body. Raven then muttered "Flabraflatus." Powerful winds brushed the ash and the remaining limbs of the helpless mannequin into a small, sandy tornado. Raven wiped her sweaty hands on her thin, blue and black school robe and thought, It's all thanks to the book Old and Forgotten Bewitchments and Charms. [/glow]

Mariliza watched the girl do this. She didn't like competition, so she turned on another mannequin. "Densuago" she yelled, also surprised when it worked. Who knew a Dummy's front teeth could get so big? Liz let out a small laugh before continuing the duel. "Show me what you've got Fred" she said. Fred was what she had named the new mannequin she was attacking. Knowing 'he' couldn't strike back, she continued. "Impedimenta" she spoke the spell, loudly as 'Fred' began walking closer. Merlin, these things were realistic. "Incarcerous" was all Mariliza needed to say. Looking down, she saw Fred on the ground. Bound in ropes.

[glow=maroon,2,300]Raven saw Mariliza and used a fur charm on another dummy."I call this one, Bob!" She pointed at a now furry mannequin. She then used a Leek Hex on another dummy. The dummy's shrill shrieks wrang out in the classroom as it grew leeks out of its nose. Raven silently snickers. "Calvitium!" Raven said as she pointed her wand at an opposing dummy. The dummy's short blond hair was instantly shaved off. [/glow]

"Tarantangula" Mariliza shouted with a force so strong, all of the mannequins were now dancing. Awesome she thought, not lowering her wand. Suddenly, the dummy she had been pointing at was starting to turn all the colors of the Rainbow.

She'd just done magic without saying anything. Raise the roof. Oh yeah, it was so on now. Smiling, Liz lowered her wand, waiting to see what the younger Ravenclaw had in store.

[Raven Negrohearté]

[shadow=lime green,left,300] [glow=burgendy,2,300] Raven looked a little annoyed at the other Ravenclaw girl in the room but shook it off and looked very confident. She pointed her handsome wand at one of the dummies and used a non-verbal pus hex. Huge boil-like pimples, filled to the brim with gooey pus covered its ugly face. Next Raven muttered "Petrificus Totalus". The mangy dummy was frozen in its steps. Raven non-verbally used a flying charm and the dummy zoomed across the room splashing pus all over, Raven was also making it bonk its head countless times on the stone wall. Then the pitiful dummy, no longer looking worthy of battle was magically swept up by Raven's wand. Last Raven chose a new dummy and used the spell "Reducio" on it. It shrunk to the size of a blade of a fan. The tiny dummy looked horrified as Raven said "Reducto" Scraps of the dummy's flesh flew around the room. Raven smiled satisfactorily.[/glow][/shadow]

((I will reply here tommorow promise. I am too tired to reply now, and it will make my reply short))

[Raven Negrohearté]

(Ok! I can't wait)

[Headmistress Dagner]

As a few seconds went by, Headmistress Dagner wondered why nobody had turned up yet. She drummed her fingers impatiently on the hard leather sofa, whilst humming a tune. She instantly stopped drumming and humming as the first student arrived.
“Oh I am not sure” Answered Headmistress Dagner, as she stood up from the sofa.

“Would you like to go first?” She questioned, as she pointed to the target with her wand.
“It will be easier with less people here” Headmistress Dagner spoke.

Before she could say anything else another student & Raven Negrohearté had begun to duel the mannequin. From her pocket, Headmistress Dagner pulled a small. Notebook. She tapped the notebook with her wand & surely enough it began to grow larger, until it was 4 sized.

Notes began to appear on the page, taking notes of what each student was doing. These notes would help the Headmistress to later on decide who would represent the house. It was quite interesting to watch the students torture the mannequin.

After a while of duelling, Headmistress Dagner decided that it was time to end the torture. Even though nobody else had turned up yet, other people still had to have a go.
“Ok Ok, that is enough” She chuckled, as she threw the notepad onto one of the leather sofas.

With simply a wave of her wand, Headmistress Dagner repaired the mannequin back original state. The signs of the last duel had now disappeared, and the mannequin looked brand new again.

[Raven Negrohearté]

"Wow, you're really good at magic, professor Dagner!" Raven looked pretty awed at professor Dagner's magic skill.
