head, looking around, then reached out her hand to Hermione, helping her stand. They smiled at

each other; they seemed to have been really enjoying themselves. They were well matched.

In the second round, Goyle beat Cho. (Harry was beginning to suspect she wouldn‘t last, either--he‘d never felt grateful to Goyle for anything before, but he was now.) Then Ginny defeated George (she seemed to anticipate everything he did). Then Crabbe and Niamh won over Hannah and Millicent. After that it was Hermione‘s turn again, and when Snape called her

opponent‘s name, she got a look on her face that Harry could only describe as downright evil.

―Malfoy!‖

Hermione and Malfoy stepped into the circle. After they bowed, Hermione began her onslaught.

Malfoy never had a chance. She cried, ―Rictusempra! Reverso! Inverso!‖ in quick succession, and soon Malfoy was giggling uncontrollably while thinking he was hanging upside-down in the

air and also thinking that what was in front of him was behind him. He was so disoriented that he

dropped his wand, closing his eyes and holding his head with both hands, looking miserable but

laughing hysterically nonetheless. Hermione calmly picked up his wand and broke the spells on

him herself, not bothering to wait for Snape.

Harry heard her say softly as she handed his wand back to him, ―Remember what happened when you dueled with a Mudblood.‖ She returned to her space between Harry and Ron, her face still stony, but also satisfied. Harry remembered again the day they had first kissed in the Charms classroom and she had controlled Peeves. He was glad someone so powerful was on his side.

The second round ended with Liam defeating Ron (who returned to the circle looking very grumpy), Ginny gently disarming Ernie, and Colin actually getting a win--but it was over Mandy,

so that wasn‘t saying much. When the third round started, Roger handily beat Goyle, looking pretty smug about it, and Harry and Alicia easily defeated George (he‘d been watching Ginny dueling him) and Ron (who looked grumpier and grumpier). After Niamh disarmed Hannah, they took a break. Ginny, Hermione and Alicia were chatting happily about their duels; Ron and

George were grousing about dirty tricks (the other person winning seemed to be the ―dirty trick‖ they disliked the most, from what Harry could tell). Harry was sort of drifting between the

two groups, not saying much of anything.

After the break, Justin got a spectacular win over Millicent, making Liam grin broadly at him.

Niamh even looked like she was warming to the idea of Justin and her brother. Colin managed

to get another win as well, over Cho, pretty much cementing her departure, Harry felt. Then he

beat Ernie, trying to be gentle; he didn‘t want to seem unsympathetic, but Ernie was really horrible, he thought. All the practicing during the Christmas break seemed to have gone right out

of his head. (Although Harry suspected he actually spent a lot more time involved in a different

physical activity during the holiday.) Finally, Goyle defeated Mandy, who now seemed to be rather bored with the whole process.
