Dueling 2

[Samantha Montgomery]

Just then the tension eased, but Sam was holding herself very still for a few minutes until she could breathe easy again before nodding to the professor, she felt ill, worse she felt as if someone had taken a cheese grater to her abdominal muscles, and she suspected Maxi knowing how much the girl hated her, but it didn't matter it was over, she just realized now that Maxi meant war, and if that's what she wanted, that's what she would get.

This was all silent of course, Sam didn't look at Maxi twice before returning to her seat and trying her damndest not to show anything in her features.

[Seth Inophen]

Seth looked between MAxi and Sam as they both sat down. Both seemed angry and could possibly breathe fire if they wanted to. Seth pushed off the ground and scooted his desk way back, away from the dangerous spot between the two girls.

There was no chance he'd be the one caught in the crossfire of this battle.

[Samantha Montgomery]

Oh no, the battle for now was dormant, and she could even accede that Maxi won even if she wasn't expecting the girl to be ruthless, perhaps hufflepuffs had more slytherin in them than Sam thought. It was over though, at least until she could find her revenge, but as Seth scooted back Sam grit her teeth, she knew how Seth felt about Maxi, and if she wanted to be Seth's friend she would have to let it go...even if Maxi wasn't letting go.

[Maxi Borale]

Maxi watched Seth scoot back and rolled her eyes at him. He could be so childish sometimes. She looked back to Sam, who was still glaring at her, in which Maxi replied with a raised eyebrow and turned to face the front of the class. The duel was over, she could really stop now. And now Maxi was just irritated. "Seth, move your desk back, we aren't going to attack..." she said. Seth and Sam were friends, therefore, she had to tolerate Sam.

Not get along with, not be friends with. Not agree with. Tolerate.

[Samantha Montgomery]

Sam wasn't glaring at Maxi, she wasn't even looking at the girl, she couldn't or perhaps she would have attacked her for casting such a dirty trick or for making her insides feel like mush, but Merlin her stomach hurt, she raised her hand from her seat, "Professor?"

[Voltaire Rothschild]

Voltaire saw the final exchange and went directly to Ms. Montgomery "Ms. Borale! You're wand please." He spoke sharply, if she had done a non verbal hex, he would find out.
"Ms. Montgomery? Are you alright?" He hadn't expected a Hufflepuff to give a Slytherin so much hell, Montgomery had dueled a magically superior fight, but Borale went on like a train against a bubble. Physically she was a stronger girl, that blow hit harder than he expected it to.

[Maxi Borale]

Maxi handed over her wand silently. She didn't say anything, she didn't look away, she just blinked. Maxi didn't know she could duel like that, she slowly reached up and scratched the back of her head. She didn't like Sam, but she didn't want her dead. All Maxi wanted to do was prove that she was equally as skilled in her magic as Sam was.

[Samantha Montgomery]

Sam nodded, she was fine, but the roiling hadn't stopped completely and she felt sick, "Yes-" she coughed then something of a heave used her hand to cover her mouth, when she pulled back and opened her eyes she saw blood on her hand and stared at it for a second before hiding her hand before the professor could see it.

It wasn't Maxi who had cursed her, she doubted anyone in Hufflepuff would have the wherewithal to be that vicious which raised the question who had done it and why. Until she knew she didn't want the guilty party to think her weak by going to the infirmary where she had just previously wanted to go.

[Charlotte Monroe]

Charlotte whistled by the classroom and was now down the hallway, she had been late for dueling but got a pass, when she saw at the door who was fighting she kept out of sight, oh how priceless little Sam was fighting little Borale. Gag.

Well at least it seemed that Maxi was doing better than Charlotte had when Sam and her had fought once...but then again Sam was using mild jinxes and hexes, where was the fire? Where was the pain? This wasn't even worth watching as mild as it was.

A vicious smile appeared on her lips, " Perhaps I should make things a bit more interesting..." she whispered to herself still out of sight.

As soon as Sam was in sight, the real Sam she layered her curses one after the other. Sam looked stunned, oh and that look was priceless. Charlotte continued on her way past the class not waiting to find out if Sam would be vomiting blood later or not, the truth was she didn't really care.

[Katarina Gresh]

Kat was terribly late to class, but she had a pass from her Head of House explaining her tardyness. She turned the corner to head to dueling class when she saw a Slytherin girl in the doorway, her wand out and a menicing smile on her face.

Kat took a step back, so as not to be seen by the Slytherin girl. When she seemed content, she just walked past the classroom, whistling happily. Kat continued walking to class and saw that Samantha Montgomery girl everyone talked about cough up some blood, a little shock on her face.

Kat looked from Sam to the other girl walking away and back a couple of times before piecing two and two together.

"Hey!" Kat called after the girl walking away. "Hey Blondie, I saw what you just did," Kat said.

[Charlotte Monroe]

Charlotte kept walking until the twit called her blondie, she didn't care what the girl said she thought she did she turned and faced her, "Blondie? Honey please...is that it?" she droned with casual boredom in her voice.

[Katarina Gresh]

"Well I didn't know you're name," Kat smiled sweetly, but her tone of voice was anything but. Kat saw a lot of stuff in the halls of this school, but what the student did to Sam was wrong. No one should attack a fellow student, especially when said student can even see her attacker. Kat wasn't about to tolerate this.

[Charlotte Monroe]

"It's Charlotte. Charlotte Monroe. Now may I help you?" she asked as if the girl were a three year old and she was merely tolerating her. She didn't care for hufflepuffs, or dogooders in fact the lot of them made her sick and well perhaps she forgot to take a pill today but whatever the case was she was looking to set someone down and this little nobody was volunteering so nicely.

[Katarina Gresh]

"Nice to meet you," Kat said. "Katarina Gresh. Now," She pointed behind her to the door to the dueling class. "What the fu*k was that about?"

[Charlotte Monroe]

"Ooh, them's fightin words from a wittle Huffwopuff." she mocked, "A little out of your league don't you think?" she asked slightly incredulous that the girl would even consider picking a fight with her, she could make what happened to Sam seem like a trip to the spa and never even use her wand where this little girl was concerned, but if she wanted to play, Charlotte wouldn't deny her.

[Katarina Gresh]

Kat just raised an eyebrow at her. Charlotte talked to her like she was five years old. "Nope," Kat said. "Just wondering what the hell you're thinking to do that to a fellow student," Kat looked at Charlotte's robes and saw that she was in Slytherin, just like Sam was. "Or did you hit your pretty little head and forget that Sam was in Slytherin too," Kat glared. She should really just stop talking to Charlotte, who was obviously bad news, and report her, butKat stood her ground. This girl didn't scare her.

[Charlotte Monroe]

Charlotte made the two steps it would take to bring her face to face with the girl, she was a little taller which made Charlotte smirk among other things, " Gresh isn't it?" she asked, " Hmm..what do I know about you...besides the fact that you're a Hufflyfluff nobody ...hmm, you don't pick your battles well that's certainly evident... it's no wonder you weren't put into Ravenclaw with the absence of common thought, after all Hufflepuff is where the third rate outcasts go, you're not cunning, you're not intelligent, and though you're showing a bit of courage here, you really lack the balls to do what it takes to threaten me little girl. So here's a bit of free advice, I'm already going to destroy you for insulting my importance by even thinking you could talk to me, but unless you want me to destroy that little boy that trails after you as well...Scotts...I believe his name is...yes..you'll be wise to keep your mouth shut and your doe eyes pretty like a good little hufflefluff."

[Katarina Gresh]

Kat was about to step up to Charlotte, tell her that she didn't intimidate her, that there was no way in hell Kat was backing down to her. But then she threatened Timothy, and no matter how much Kat just wanted to show Charlotte where she could shove her wand, she had a feeling Charlotte was serious. So she just smiled sweetly. "Whatever you say," She said, suppressing a smirk. She was sure she'd run into Charlotte again, and then she would she just how much of a good little Hufflepuff she really was.

[Charlotte Monroe]

Charlotte nearly snarled at her backing down, "Pathetic." she spat before turning and leaving the girl, it was fun up until the moment the girl backed down. Charlotte of course would still have to destroy her and so she set up her plans on how to do so, just as she would about making plans for what restaurant to dine in...neither task gave her pause.

[Katarina Gresh]

"Or so you think," Kat said, then she turned on her heals and walked away, enjoying the fact she had the last word, if not anything else about her... lovely... chat with Charlotte.
She entered the class quietly, handed the professor her note, and sat in the seat beside Sam. When the teacher wasn't looking, she leaned over and whispered, "I saw what happened. Are you alright?"
