[ She shakes her head. ]

My house isn't the best gauge of my own spellwork. [ Anna is determined to prove that she isn't a stereotype of a Ravenclaw. It's a struggle. ] I feel like I need to mentally prepare myself for a duel, honestly.

Seems to me all that training flies right out of your head once the duel actually starts. [Wow, so helpful, Gavroche.] Better to just take a running jump at it!

I don't think that's how it works...

[ anna gives gavroche a wary side glance and folds her arms over her wand. ] I would much rather approach any task well-equipped, if possible. Spells and all. You're too young to do this, aren't you?

[His expression turns very nearly serious for a moment.] Can't learn instinct, though. Or practice it.

[And we're back to grinning.] No, but the professors seem to think I am. Very inconvenient, that.

[ she smiles amusedly, tapping her wand against her side. ]

Very. If only you could simply go in my place. [ a beat once she's turned her attentions back to the duel. ] Who are you rooting for?

[Immediately:] Professor Hawkeye, of course. [Gavroche would be rooting for the gamekeeper even if Barton weren't his Head of House, but then he suspects everyone is already.]

What about you, miss?

I'm Anna. [ she introduces herself with a hand to her heart. ]

And, well, I'm rooting for him too. And, ah, not because I like him better.

And I'm Gavroche! Pleased to meet you, Anna. [Have a small bow--more of a cheerful full-body bob, really.

He tilts his head curiously. That's an odd way of phrasing it.] Then is it cos you like von Karma less?

That is most likely the case. He makes it difficult. Ah, liking him.

[ she looks bashful to even say such a thing, but that is the truth. ] And it is a pleasure to meet you too, Gavroche.

[Gavroche huffs indignantly.] That's putting it nicely! Wonder what Madeldore was thinking when he hired the man.
