The Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom buzzed with excitement as Sebastian Sallow leaned casually against the dueling platform. His confidence was as sharp as ever, his reputation as an unbeatable duelist preceding him.

“You think you’re untouchable, Sallow?” you asked, stepping forward.

He smirked. “Care to test that theory?”

Without hesitation, you raised your wand. The crowd gathered as the duel began. His spells were relentless, full of reckless power, while yours were precise and calculated.

“You’re too impulsive,” you said, narrowly dodging his Confringo.

“And you’re too cautious,” he countered, breaking free of the vines you conjured with Vermillious Tractus.
