5th round: Waterlily V Duck the Duck

::WL entered the hall and looked around for duck. She tiptoed around with her shield around her and conjured up a huge boulder. She crouched down beside it and held her wand out ready for battle.

She spotted a movement to her right and immediately focused her attention on the area near it, waiting for another movement so that she could attack.

"Protego Maximus." she whispered, making sure duck could not see her and try and attack her.

She also knew that this duel would not be easy...

AHA! There it was again!

::WL aimed her wand as quick as lightning and whispered, "Reveleo," making duck appear in the air. Then, just as fast, WL swung her wand in a high arc over duck and spoke in a clear voice, "Protégez-vous l'environment!"

::Duck was then overcome with the insane urge to do everything she could to protect the environment. She started by picking up every speck of litter...i.e. dust on the floor and then started building a hydrogen powered car from scratch. WL watched in amazement as duck also began to plant trees faster than any gardener in the world.

WL did not move from her vantage point near the boulder. She trained her wand on duck's every movement and reenforced her shield with a "L'inquiete de mes parents" protection spell that would protect her with the love her parents had for her. They worried about her so much and smothered her so tightly that nothing could get through. Not even the simplest of disarming spells!

::WL sighed as she put up with her shield but still, remained focused on duck. It was crucial that her guard no tbe let down::

(I tried my best but I actually found that your style is similar to mine but you use more french spells...i am trying my best in french so i can do my best...good luck with marathi spells! lol...good luck...one of us has to go through anyway...Go Gryffindor!!!!!!!!!)

::Duck knew that this duel would no longer be friendly. WL would not be an easy opponent to defeat. WL got the first shot in, making Duck have the urge to become an environmentalist.

She went around picking up litter and planting trees, until her concious thoughts began to filter through and she muttered a counter-curse.

She then strengthened her shield, and whispered her first spell:

"danava sa-saa!" She said, loudly, and watched as a giant rabbit appeared and began to charge WL. Whilst the rabbit did this, duck sent off a round of quickfire spells: one that would make WL want to vomit, one that would give her itchy feet and one which made her feel like she was being bitten by mosquitoes.

Duck took the opportunity to once again strengthen her shields.::

(I am SO sorry...I seem to have lost my ability to do this duelling thing! Also...I apologise for the marathi, if it is wrong or the words don't mean what I thought...I did try and use an online dictionary lol)

::WL was dodging all sorts of spells that would make her feel bad. The spells were harmless so she wasn't too concerned about their effects. She ducked the Vomiter and jumped over the Itchy Hex but was unfortunate enough to get grazed with the Mosquito Bite.::

"Ow! Lotion calmante!" The soft, soothing lotion flowed out of her wand and was slathered onto the area where she was "bitten". When she recovered from the "bite", she turned towards duckie and started bombarding her shields to break them.::

"Reducto! Bombarda! Couper! Casser!" All the cutting/breaking spells she knew were hurled at the shields and she could see duck sweating with the effort it took to hold the shields::

::WL conjured up Ed the flying purple hippo, "l'hippopotame pourpre de vol!", and clambred on. With her flying advantage, she said, "Accio Duck's Wand!"

While duck was wondering where her wand went and started to turn over stones to search for it, WL dissillusioned Ed and herself and whispered, "Enlever le noyau." She removed the core of Duckie's wand and then threw it back to her.

Duck turned around as she saw the wand and picked it up to recast her shields. A lot of use that would be! There was no magic in it!

(Hi, sorry it took so long, I was revising...but anyway...lol...i like the sasaa bit...my favourite nursery rhyme was about a sasaa! I hope the french is ok...my mind is on german at the mo...and english lit...urgh! see you!)

::Duck realised that WL had taken the core from her wand. Enraged, she quickly conjured Ollivander and cast a "speed-up" spell on him. He quickly made her a new wand, better than the last, and she reinforced her shield spell.

Then, she decided to take inspiration from one of her favourite films, and whispered:

"piratica!" ::all of a sudden, a group of ghostly looking pirates appeared and began to encircle WL, with cries of "Arrrr me hearties" and "Shiver me timbers".

Unfortunately for WL, none of the pirates resembled Johnny Depp or Orlando Bloom, and looked more like Mackenzie Crook and Geoffrey Rush.

Then, seeing WL was sufficiantly distracted by the pirates, Duck paused to have a cup of tea and a cream cake.

"Delicious" she said, once finished, happy to see WL trying in vain to fight off the pirates.

"paa-wa-saa-hlaa" she said, and WL was covered by a deluge of water.

(once again, sorry for the marathri - I tried. And also sorry I didn't post before now - I forgot about it :oops: )

::WL realised that Duckie had sent pirates after her. She groaned at their little songs and decided to get them away from her. The only thing she could think of at such short notice was to conjure a flock of parrots and crates of gold that they would rush off to fetch…

“Perroquets et d’or!” Parrots flew out of her wand and out squeezed some golden medallions as well.

While the pirates were occupied, WL saw duck having a coffee break. The smell of biscuits and coffee was nearly enough to entice her over, but she resisted and concentrated on the shower of rain.

As a citizen of the beautifully rainy city of Manchester, she wasn’t too bothered by it, in fact it invigorated her, and after a while, it got a bit annoying.

“Arretez!” The rain stopped at her command and she looked up to see that duck still hadn’t noticed. Tut tut…not enough attention!

She waved her wand in an intricate pattern and pointed it at duckie’s feet.

“Flotteur et jamais chute”

Duckie would now be floating on the air and be unable to fully control a wand in the air. To make sure this happened, WL cast “Petrificus Totalus!” and Duck floated up, unable to move for quite some time!::

::Alas! WL had got away from the pirates, but she alse seemed to have forgotten that Duck was quite the master of wandless magic.

She used her wandless magic to escape from the petrificus totalus predicament, and returned herself to the ground.

WL was sitting there, a grin on her face.

"ooshi tak!" Duck shouted, which she knew meant "throw me a cushion", but oh well, it worked by bombarding WL with cushions.

She was now buried underneath a pile of cushions eight metres high, and so Duck took this advantage to perform a permanant sticking charm on the cushions, which would keep them in place.

She then set a ring of fire around the cushions, so that even if WL somehow managed to escape, she wouldn't be able to get past the fire without a bit of trying.::

::WL cast a cooling charm on herself, and looked for spaces from which she could escape the cushion cage.

Fortunately, there was a hole through which she could aim and fire at duckie. “Mobilicorpus!” WL lifted up the entire cage and herself and non-verbally conjured some wheels for the underside of it. Now, she could move and aim at duckie from whichever side she was on.

Having recently seem the Incredibles, WL thought of something amazing and said, “Les Puissances d’Elastigirl!” and gave herself the stretchy powers and amazing elastic body of Helen Parr.

She then stunned duckie through the hole and poked her arm through it, grabbing hold of duckie and holding her fast to the side of the pillow cage. Now that WL had duckie where she wanted her, she wickedly cast a spell on the now awake and struggling duckie,

“Du yaourt et du potage de poissons de mal odeur!”

Duckie was now covered in a disgustingly vile substance consisting of yoghurt and smelly fish soup! WL wrinkled her nose and then pushed duckie away from her breathing hole…it really was smelly!::

::Once Duck had awoken from her stupefiedness, she was glad to see that WL hadn't managed to escape from her cage of pillows. However, she also noticed she was covered in nasty smelly stuff, and so she evanescoed it all away.

WL was still enclosed in the pillows, but now there was a way in!

She conjured some scorpions, and sent them into the hole, followed by some piegeons, followed by some wasps.

She then sealed the hole with a sealing spell, and cast a shield charm around the entire cushion cage, which would mean that WL wouldn't be able to get out - no matter how hard she tried.

::WL snorted in laughter...what was duckie doing?!

Scorpions? Pigeons? WASPS?!

Dear God...

WL put a Bubble Head Charm around her body and rid the whole space of air, creating a vacuum in which all the creatures exploded because of the pressure differences between them and the surrounding space.

It was inhumane, but still effective...

She commenced her near final attack, lifting up the entire cage and slipping out through the bottom, where Duck had not thought to ward.

In a whirlwind of fire, she launched herself at duck and danced around her, just out of wand aim and moving too fast for duck to catch up to her movements.

Then, she plunged the arena into darkness and with a simple Incarcerous, she bound up duckie like a chicken and took away her wand. Knowing that duck would do wandless magic, WL placed a careful tickling charm on Duck's hands so that they would remain clenched forever as duck would be under unbearable tickle torture...whether she was ticklish or not...
