Hogwarts.

In the middle of the hall where they had held dueling classes all year, the attacks began once again between Snape and Pandora in front of all the fifth-year students, as everyone watched the fight grow more aggressive.

Pandora behaved differently than she usually did, fighting intensely against Snape, casting spells rapidly, and using attacks that could seriously harm anyone, causing those who had previously taken advantage of her in duels to reconsider challenging her now.

They stood there, fighting and using all their basic spells, but with no apparent winner, which earned them looks of admiration from the spectators.

"So she was that strong?" Clarisse murmured, watching the duel alongside Lucinda.

"And she certainly is amazing! With these two, we could win a world championship!" Flitwick murmured excitedly, as he watched the duel of talented wizards using all kinds of spells.

Although their repertoire wasn't very large, they used creativity, and transfiguration was limitless in that regard. They specialized in using blades, with the entire platform being destroyed. Pandora had grown used to using swords and daggers thanks to Snape always employing them as her instructor.

However, now dodging some of Snape's attacks, she began to transform all the daggers flying around her into butterflies, creating many of them, with all the girls sighing in admiration as they advanced toward Snape.

He looked at them curiously, not recognizing the magic she was using. As the butterflies approached, they surrounded him, and their wings caught fire like paper.

"I see... You have an interesting trick here," he murmured, observing the burning butterflies all around him, practically forced to teleport to get out of it.

"I learned this while Dobby was helping me," Pandora said with a shy smile.

Then, immediately after, the entire air erupted in flames with Snape in the middle, making everyone gasp in shock. Some screamed in horror, thinking Snape had been consumed by the fire. Even Lily appeared, visibly worried, stepping forward from her friends.

However, Pandora remained calm, watching the flames burn like a tower, and they began to dissipate. Even the teachers watched with interest, knowing that Snape wouldn't be defeated so easily, which is why they allowed the attack to unfold. He appeared afterward, hands in his pockets, unscathed, with the area where he stood untouched by the flames, as he didn't even need to teleport. He merely looked with a calm smile of victory while everything around him burned.

Pandora smiled, but she was clearly exhausted, struggling to breathe.

"Was that your final attack?" he asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Yes... I can't go on. You've won," she said calmly, already accepting her defeat.

Putting away his wand, Snape simply nodded and looked at the professors. Professor Flitwick smiled and declared, "Well, it seems the victory goes to Mr. Snape! An incredible display of magic, far beyond what I could have expected. Truly, we have great talents for next year's sixth year," he said with satisfaction.

Immediately afterward, applause erupted throughout the hall, with everyone astonished, particularly by Pandora's abilities.

"Well, we can continue with the next duel..." Professor Longbottom began, but was interrupted at that moment.
