The Girl Hidden In the Shadows (Harry Potter Fanfiction)

~6 (2/2)~

Pansy acted before Lockhart could finish two yelling a jinx spell; the sound of the spell being blocked was heard when Nova waved her wand in protection. Nova's face was serious quite opposite from the angry expression Pansy displayed. The obsessive female screamed in anger as she threw a hex. Nova once again waved her wand the hex bouncing off her protection. This only angered more the Slytherin girl as she threw another hex, Nova blocking it easily.

"Professor Lockhart said to disarm, Pansy" exclaimed Hermione who was closest to the dueling girls. Pansy eye's filled with fury hatred looked at Hermione.

"Shut up you filthy Mudblood!" Pansy hissed combined in a scream as she yelled another hex towards Nova who blocked again. Nova not liking at all the way she called Hermione, waved her wand wordlessly throwing back the female, Pansy flew in the air and landed hard on the floor on her butt her wand out of her hand. Pansy shrieked in pure anger.

"Milly!" Pansy yelled. Millicent quickly went towards the dueling girls advancing towards Nova as she glared at her and yelled a hex to which Nova blocked as well.

"Stop!" Hermione exclaimed towards Millicent Bulstrode who ignored her and threw another hex which Nova dodged.

"Stop, Millicent!" Hermione said again.

"Stay out of this, Mudblood!" hissed Millicent. Before Millicent threw another spell, Nova twirled her wand throwing another wordless spell throwing back Millicent Bulstrode as well.

"You, filthy blood-traitor!" Pansy screamed making her way back towards Nova continuing her assault on the female while Nova merely sighed blocking her spells easily.

Millicent who was on the floor, stunned for a moment finally snapped out of it, grabbing her wand that was tossed to the side, as she stood up with hot fury glaring towards Nova.

"You'll pay for that!" hissed Millicent as she quickly advanced towards Nova aiming her wand at the female. Nova dodged the oncoming spell from Pansy before waving her wand to protect from another spell, this time from Millicent who joined the duel.

Hermione's eyes widen as she saw this turn of events; that was an unfair duel right before her watching as Millicent and Pansy throw spells after spells towards Nova who surprisingly was keeping up and showed no sign of having trouble keeping up if anything she showed more speed than the two girls combined. Still for Hermione, it was unfair and she need to do something. Hermione moved her wand aiming towards Millicent.

"Expelliarmus!" said Hermione. The spell shot out and hit the unsuspecting Slytherin girl who was knocked back slightly and her wand went flying out of her arms. Her head snapped towards Hermione whose eyes widen at the realization; she was a mixture of happy and fear. Happy that she did the spell but also fear when she saw the look of Millicent.

"You will pay for that!" Millicent exclaimed and charged towards Hermione, while Nova and Pansy continued to duel.

While the girls were in their own duels, Harry was in his own. Harry swung his wand high, but Malfoy had already started on "two": his spell hit Harry so hard he felt as though he'd been hit over the head with a saucepan. He stumbled, before he pointed his wand straight at Malfoy and shouted, "Rictumsempra!"

A jet of silver light hit Malfoy in the stomach and he doubled up, wheezing.

"I said Disarm only!" shouted Lockhart in alarm over the heads of the battling crowd. It seemed like Harry, Hermione and Nova weren't the only ones who had opponents who took it more than just a simple dueling. Malfoy was on his knees as he was hit by the Tickling Charm, unable to move from laughing. Thinking that Malfoy was no threat at the moment and it wouldn't feel right to bewitch him again while on the floor, Harry hung back. Big mistake; gasping for breath, Malfoy pointed his wand at Harry's knees, choked, "Tarantallegra!"
