I realize when I say an ordinary room, people might get suspicious. Let me assure you that nothing will happen there. Inside is a fireplace, some furniture, and a possibility of mass destruction. Forget that I mentioned mass destruction; let's get on with this duel. Give a cheer to Rose Jean and Dragon!

​

Wands in play:
Dragon: 8 1/2-inch Rowan with Ashwinder Ash
Rose Jean: 11 1/4-inch Hawthorn with Chimaera Scale

​

Dragon and Rose Jean, who will be facing off with each other, follow their referee, Disa, someplace in the dungeons. After a few minutes they arrive at a pair of doors. The pair’s referee opens the door, revealing a spacious room inside. An ominous looking rug has been sprawled out over the floor and there is a big window in the left wall. In the middle is a fireplace and sound of it crackling makes all three feel like they're celebrating a New Year.

​

Disa beckons them to come inside and stand in position. They listen and try to avoid bumping into the furniture as they do. Once they reached their designated points, the duel begins.

​

"First to cast goes first!" Calls Disa, closing the doors behind them. Before spells and chaos emerge, Rose and Dragon show some manners and bow down towards each other and their referee. As they begin to stand up, an unexpected snake fires itself at Dragon. And the terrible thing about this snake is that it's made of fire! They didn't have enough time to jump out of the way, so it's lucky the spell wasn't too harmful. The bad news is that the snake wrapped itself around Dragon's leg and, once it dissolved, it left Dragon doing a dance which looked like a cartoon character that needed to pee. While this happened, Disa states "Rose Jean starts the duel off strong summoning up her inner Slytherin!".

​

At least Dragon's hands weren't damaged, as they tried to break a bone or two. They waited for their 'pee-pee dance', as Disa calls it, to calm down and then shouted “Conqueo”. The spell rushed at somebody, not Rose Jean, and the light dashed into a picture frame and shattered into pieces. That's one safety hazard that the duellers will have to look out for.

​

Rose Jean doesn't seem to mind the shattered glass at all though, as she’s not done playing with fire! (Quick note here, it's not suggested that you play with fire in real life.) "Teringis Scindo!" she shouts, and a whip with blazing fire appears before Dragon. Rose's wand acts as a handle as she turns the whip back and forth to gain momentum. And with a strike of her arm, the line of fire comes down on her opponent's torso. A deep burn appears on Dragon's chest as Rose decides to come down once again, leaving another injury.

​

"Aquilo!" Dragon now has enough of their rival playing with fire. Their wand, as how Disa described it, begins to function like a hairdryer, at least in the way it shoots air. Instead of blowing warm air, it blows cold air, though the wind isn't too cold for someone to turn blue. At the most, after that attack, it leaves Rose's teeth chattering. Rose doesn't appreciate the cool breeze and would prefer a warmer approach. With the incantation “Sol Erumpo”, a second sun grows in this room. The sun, however, stops growing, possibly due to Rose's chattering teeth, and sprout some dandelions, making the room feel more alive with its yellow hue.

​

It made Dragon upset that they could destroy the dandelions due to their curses and charms. They have to continue though; winning this duel is on their mind! "Glacio Impluo!" They yell, causing sharp shards of ice to rain down on Rose. Once the rain clears up, it reveals some nasty cuts on her shoulder and arms, as they used them to cover her head from the attack. Rose quotes, "I'm sure the burns have thinned your skin a bit, but not enough..." before she casts her spell. As one might've guessed, something horrid would happen to Dragon. A light blazes toward her opponent, and as it hits, patches of skin fall off. It's not pretty, and once you have seen what it looked like, you can't get it out of your head.

​

This duel has become a fire versus ice battle. Rose plays with fire while Dragon plays with ice. "Algeo Trisitita!" shouts Dragon, as a light heads for their competitor's direction. Soon, their opponent feels a small tingly feeling of coldness. Next, in a second, it feels like Rose is trapped in an ice cube. From this description, someone might guess that Rose stood in a winter storm. But nope! She’s warm physically, on the inside, however, it's another story.

​

As Rose feels like she needs a blanket and a couple of cookies to warm her up, Dragon sees this as an opportunity to attack! With a flick of their wand, buttons start raining down! Actually, I lied. Only one button comes down, and it sits in the corner near the shattered picture frame, all alone.

​

Now Rose feels her insides beginning to warm up, and now her focus shifts towards Dragon. "Aeris Percutio!" screams Rose, as her spell hurls towards her foe. And, it's not something nice to think about what happened. Dragon already has sensitive skin and burns to worry about but giving them small cuts on their whole body! Ouch, I'm glad I'm not in this duel.

​

This duel is going to give me shivers the longer I think about what I said in the last paragraph. That aside, Dragon doesn't want to 'joke around' anymore, and yells "Congelationis!" With her sickly freezing insides, Rose's physical body now gets a piece of the coldness. Two frostbites begin to form on Rose's right foot and right hand, and as Disa quotes it "a cruel shade of blue." After that attack, Rose shouts "Sectumsempra!" And her attack hits an object. It isn't Dragon, it's an innocent couch. (How could you Rose?!) A gap rips open on the couch, revealing light beige fluff. As these events go on, Disa quotes "Waittt... Dragon's blood...  She's not trying to exploit her blood for cleaning ovens, is she?" To me, it sounds like she is!

​

Now, this duel is more like ‘blood versus ice’ than ‘fire versus ice’. Still, that sounds like an exciting battle to watch, though the blood will most likely drip down on ice. Enough of my rambling, Dragon tries to trap Rose in a never-ending cycle of winter! They attempt Fringuis Sanguis again, but it dodges Rose by an inch or two. And more blood is incoming! This duel is not for the squeamish! Rose tries Sectumsempra again, and with luck, it works! A 5-inch cut appears on Dragon's abdomen. At least Rose got her oven-cleaner!

​

If you think the third time is the charm, you're wrong! Well, that’s wrong in this duel. Dragon tries Fringuis Sanguis, and it hits Rose. Soon, their opponent's insides begin cooling at a quick pace. One would be worried about Rose, as she'll fall into hypothermia any minute now.

​

Guess what can be creepy or cute at the same time? Bats! Now that I think about it, more answers come along. Like cats, they're usually cute, but they can stare into your soul at any given time. Anyway, Rose attempts the spell Nosferoctum, which summons bats. And now that Dragon is bleeding from that 5-inch cut, those bats might want some of that blood. Bats soon come flying up to Dragon, and they all try and slurp up the red liquid. All of Dragon's cuts become deeper as the bats yearn for more blood. They fight away the bats, pushing and turning, but the bats don't fly away. It's a grizzly sight to see, and I'm glad I wasn't there. Now, Rose is in a state of being almost in hypothermia while Dragon is losing amounts of blood. Disa will have to end the duel soon.

​

I think I have a theory where Rose is a vampire, but I'm not sure that's true. Though at this moment, she tries to collect some of Dragon's blood. It misses and instead hits the fireplace, which might have caused an explosion if it went into the fire. Instead, it landed on a brick, where it caused a miniature explosion.

​

And right after the attack on the fireplace, Disa calls the duel to the end. She apparates both duellers to the Hospital Wing, where they can get their injuries checked.
