In The Street (Sally/Haley, and anyone who wants to see a fight!)

[Guest]

Sally strolled down Knockturn Alley and emerged into the famous wizarding high street, Diagon Alley. The place was abuzz with shoppers of all sorts, swarming about their petty daily lives. She didn't move for anyone, pushing through numerous clusters of people and knocking them over.

Her dark hood hid her face as she swam through the crowd. Sally didn't know where she was going, probably out, but something was holding her back. She could feel it in the air, there was some other force pulling her to this busy, cobble-stoned shopping street.

[Haley Vilde Smith]

Haley had just been inside Flourish and Blotts when someone knocked into her. It was a cloaked figure, but the hood fell off her head as Haley pushed into her. Haley stopped dead. Anger and hatred unlike anything flourished in her and she felt like giving the person in front of her a touch of death.

"You!" Haley finally managed to scream, people turning their heads.

Haley didn't care and fished out her wand pointing it at Sally Swandeth, her worst nightmare. But fright was lost to Haley. It seemed that when you had nothing to lose, you had nothing to fear. People had backed off when Haley drew her wand.

"Stupefy!" she yelled, the spell being the first she thought of.

Sally cackled as the foolish girl drew her wand. "Look! She wants to play!" She quickly ducked to the side, dodging Haley's spell and retrieving her own wand. Quite gifted at non-verbal magic, Sally didn't have to say the name of the mild curse she threw at the child. The crowd was staring with wide eyes, mothers shielding their babies, many people leaving to get out of the way of the duel, others, more immature at that, flocking to see the action.

This was obviously the force that had drawn her over to Diagon Alley, the good street. Her boredom had gotten the better of her and her soul was longing for a fight. Sally wasn't complaining. She sent a multitude of flying jinxes at her, all of them melting together to form one scarily powerful spell. It was like a mucky mixture of all the jinxes, all sorts of different colours, and who knew what the effect would be!

Sally laughed gleefully, delight at an experiment sweeping through her. Exercise! she thought with a grin. Hoorah!

[Haley Vilde Smith]

Haley ducked from many of the spells and then one big one shot towards her.

"Parero!" Haley roared, and the spell hit the shield.

The curse broke the shield, but didn't hit Haley, though she was pushed back by its effect. She raised her wand quickly

"Exitarmus!" she shrieked, feeling anger and hatred growing in her soul.

She then thought a quarter of a second and then shouted: "Ventus!"

The wind shot strongly out of her wand and pushed people on the sidelines back. It didn't hurt anything, but it still gave Haley a second to think through things.

"Incendio!" Fire shot from her wand and she paid attention to whether it would hit the woman or not.

A frown creased Sally's face as the silly little student dodged and shielded herself, then sent a fire-spell from the end of her wand. Sighing, Sally gave a lazy flick of her wand and dispersed the flame - more like smashing it into a nearby shop window, causing the artefacts inside to burst into flame.

"You really have no idea what you've gotten yourself into, have you sweetheart?" Sally was starting to wonder if the kid knew what she was up against. "Bitten off more than we can chew yet?" She burst another, this time more stronger, non-verbal curse at her.

"Let's see how well you dance, honeypie! TARENTELLEGRA!"

[Haley Vilde Smith]

Haley growled. She did know what she was up again; someone superior to herself. But she didn't care. She didn't care if she died. She just wanted to hurt the woman before her and she would die trying to merely scratch Swandeth's cheek.

Haley managed to dodge the other curses sent at her with some effort. She didn't hear the incantation, meaning they were non-verbal, and that would make everything a lot harder. She couldn't try to make lightning strike either. It could hit anyone around her.

When Swandeth sent the Tarentellegra spell at her, she didn't manage to dodge. Her knees started dancing and she couldn't control them. She thanked the gods that she had learned the countercurse and managed to point her wand to her knees.

The spell vanished and Haley moved her wand to Swandeth. "Obscuro!" she shouted, hoping the blinding spell would work.

[Guest]

Sally cried out in shock as, temporarily, she was blinded. That angered her; she hated being unable to see. "You little brat!" she growled, lunging at her with both hands outstretched when the spell had faded. She latched onto the girl's neck and pushed her onto the ground, choking her with a firm grip over her windpipe.

"This time, you'll not escape me, bitch! I WILL KILL YOU!" Sally screeched, tightening her grip and causing the girl to go pale and blue in the face.

[Haley Vilde Smith]

Haley felt herself choking as Swandeth threw herself over her and clasped her throat. She squirmed violently, but in vain. Then she figured that this might not be the best way. She felt resolute when she slowly moved her wand and pointed it at Swandeth's stomach.

"Lacarnem inflamarae," she choked out, and fire shot from the tip of her wand.
