I noticed that I got Lily's name wrong, not that I was wrong, but in my country, she is called Lilian, so I wrote it that way since I started calling Albus 'Alvo,' which is also the official name in my mother tongue.

"It's good to see you again, fifth years..." Professor Longbottom greeted everyone as she entered a large hall where she had asked them to meet. Not only were there Slytherins and Gryffindors, but Hufflepuffs and Ravenclaws were also present. It seemed that at this moment, they would have a Charms class, but Professor Flitwick decided to join forces with Professor Longbottom, and they would have a combined class with all four houses.

"This is good. You will be the first year group that we are combining here, and I hope that everyone can learn a lot from this class. After all, you will practice your combat skills in a controlled and safe environment." The professor said, hoping that if it was successful with the fifth years, other years could also benefit from it.

"Let's start with a one-on-one duel, and we'll demonstrate this with a fight between me and Professor Flitwick. Just watch." She said, and the professor nodded. They conjured a long table in the middle of the room where the battle would take place.

She and the professor took their positions, standing 10 meters apart while all the students remained silent, waiting for the duel.

"Since there is no one to start the duel, we will do so when this coin hits the ground," Professor Longbottom said and tossed a coin into the air.

The coin spun in the air before falling slowly to the ground with a light clink. At the same moment, both professors moved quickly.

"Expelliarmus!" shouted Professor Longbottom, launching a disarming spell directly at Professor Flitwick. Flitwick, however, quickly reacted.

"Protego!" he countered, conjuring his protective shield that deflected Longbottom's spell. Then, he flicked his wand, casting a "Stupefy!" that whizzed through the air towards the professor.

Longbottom defended herself with another spell that nullified her opponent's, exploding in the air with a light effect. She immediately cast another spell, launching an "Incendio!" She invoked ropes that flew towards Professor Flitwick, attempting to bind him.

Flitwick countered with a "Diffindo!" that cut the ropes in mid-air. The students were impressed as the two masters dueled, each demonstrating impressive skills and a wide variety of spells, something they doubted they could mimic in a duel.

The fight continued for some time, the spells lighting up the hall as the duel progressed, both professors showing defensive and offensive tactics.

In the end, there was no winner; they stopped after a while, looking at each other, satisfied with the fight. They smiled, and the professor returned to the fifth-year crowd from all houses.

"And so we conclude our duel," she said, with a satisfied tone. "I hope everyone learned something valuable about the control and diversity of spells we demonstrated here. Remember, the most important thing in a duel is to stay calm and think strategically, casting spells faster than your opponent or trying to intercept them in intelligent and creative ways."

She continued. "Remember, magic is unlimited, it all depends on how you think about executing your spells..." She finished and turned back to the professor. "Excellent demonstration, professor."

"Agreed, Professor Longbottom," Flitwick commented and returned. "Now, students, prepare to practice friendly duels among yourselves. We will supervise and give feedback as you practice. Let's begin then. Lily Evans...?" He asked his favorite student to start.
