• Dangerous to dream •

• Part 10 - Duel •

Pansy looked scared as the rest of the people in the common room created a circle round us.

I was determined to win.

I would not loose.

I couldn't.

We held our wands up proudly.

I awaited to shoot my first spell.

She shot first.

"Stupefy!"

"Protego!"

Wow that actually worked!

"Alarte ascendare!"

Pansy flew up in the air and then violently hit the ground.

She coughed wounded.

The crowd around us clapped and cheered.

My friends started chanting my name.

"Lydia! Lydia! Lydia!"

But Pansy wasn't done, she stood back up clutching her stomach.

"You wanna play dirty Riddle, I'll play dirty!"

"Bombarda maxima!"

Pansy blew up the rug beneath me.

"Confringo!"

Pansy blasted backward into the wall.

"You done pug face?!"

"Never, monster! Diffindo!"

Pansy had cut my robes so short you could almost see my pants...

These are pathetic spells...how about you use crucio

That's an unforgivable!

Yes but you can put her in her place that way!

No!

Suddenly the room burst in flames.

Pansy had sent off a fire spell!

Everyone was screaming and running out.

"Colloshoo!"

Pansy had stuck my shoes to the floor.

"Now you can burn in hell where you belong Riddle!"

"You've taken this to far Pansy undo the spell!"

The fire roared.

"Say bye bye Riddle!"

My anger was rising uncontrollably

The burning sensation came back.

My eyes felt like they could melt.

My hands shook with my wand still griped tightly.

KILL HER YOU IDIOT!

I could faintly see Pansy on the other end of the flames running out with the rest of the students.

Suddenly my anger took control...

I was no longer me...but a version of me.

Not a good one.

I wasn't going to let her out.

"CRUCIO!!!"

Pansys body dropped to the floor screaming in pain.

I took off my shoes.

I walked casually through the flames.

I approached her shaking body.
