"Thank you thank you, thank you. But now students please quiet down, becuase we need to start the class, and to help me in this class my assistant teacher will be none other than your very own potion professor, Professor Snape." Lockhart came to the long duelling table with his trademark annoying smile. Making the girls influence and irritating Orion even more, when he saw Daphne getting influenced again.
He has seen this happen before but after that kiss from her, looking at her making this face for Lockhart just felt wrong. So wrong that he just couldn't take it and after removing his charm-blocking spell, held her face by his hand and turned it towards himself.
"Looking for someone Princess..." He said as he got close to her face, enough close to again kiss her, he didn't know why he did it but he just did. Like his body moved on autopilot.
Daphne was taken aback when suddenly she saw Orion's gorgeous face so close to her the face looked the same but why suddenly did she feel like he had become handsome... who cared she didn't have the time to ponder on those things when she was fighting hard to stop that creeping flush from her face.
Her face already turned a little red and she felt her heart skip a few beats there. ' Now only if he grabs me by the hair and slams down with those rock-hard bulging.... Gulp'
Shake...
Shake...
Daphne quickly got away from Orion and started to shake her head like trying to take out something from her mind.
'What happened, I thought my charm worked on girls ?' Orion now was confused, it usually worked on Hermione and Rose. Is Daphne different somehow?
Merlin on the other hand didn't even bat a single eye on this teenage comedy happening in front of him, his mind right now was much more clouded with Orion's action, and he noticed the sudden possessiveness from Orion.
[Maybe there was a side effect of absorbing that dragon after all.] Merlin mutters with a little concern, according to this, this to some degree could be good or bad depending on how it affects Orion.
For the time being though, he can only observe.
As Snape entered, a silence spread among the students. It was not wrong to say that those who in Hogwarts don't outright hate this man, fear him 9 out of 10 times.
"Now watch carefully, observe how a real magical duel is supposed to be done. And no one has to worry, I will not in any form gonna harm your favourite potion's master." Lockhart said with no shame.
"I was waiting for this for so long," Orion heard someone saying this. He too was waiting for this but not for the duel itself, he was waiting for this becuase he wanted to see Snape totally own this imposter.
Both Snape and Lockhart walk up to each other and take out their wands. (For some reason I know this line will just blow up in the comment section).
And then both turned around and started to walk opposite of each other.
One...
Two...
Three..
.
.
As both of them turned back they took their stand, Orion just found it pretty funny.
'I remember I used to see something similar when watching Dragon Ball. They just had more muscles and no wand in their hands,' unknowingly a chuckle except him. Something which was noticed by both the girls standing beside him.
"Expell..." Lockhart was saying but before that.
"Expelliarmus," Snape was done and a powerful red strang of magic shot at Lockhart.
Every student present rotated their head in an arc as they saw Lockhart flying out of the duelling stage. Honestly, it looked pretty comedic.
[If only magicians like him were present in the old days. There used to be a huge problem when it came to entertainment back then, Sigh]
"Don't worry, don't worry I am not hurt. I wanted all of you to see what could happen if you are hit with an Expelliarmus spell. I hope after seeing this will be careful of this spell and dodge it upon facing the spell," Lockhart tried very hard to save his face but ....
"Okay now tell me who wants to duel next," He quickly asked. Previously Orion was sure that pretty much everyone would have raised their hand but not now, after seeing the magnificent way Lockhart fell face-first after getting hit by the spell.
Still many raised their hands.
"Ambrosius, why don't you come in, you after all have experience fighting," Snape said with his sly manner.
'Well I don't care, besides two there is no one in this room who can touch me. And those two are Nick and Snape himself.' Orion though.
[Huh don't count me out you brat, I can beat thousands of you in my worst way while blindfolded]
'Yeah yeah, you are the Honored one, my apologies your majesty as my mortal brain can't even think of putting you in a futile duel of us mortals.' Orion just rolled his eyes.
He was though pondering whether he should take out his wand or not. he clearly dont need to and if yes then should he go for the real one or the fake?
Snape on the other hand makes a hand gesture and makes Malfoy come up. Orion just looked at Snape like asking, "Really,"
"What, you scare Ambrosius," Draco asked as he took out his wand and got ready. He just looked at him with dead fish eyes.
Knowing that there was no point thinking much about it, Orion just sighed which didn't escape others and took out his fake wand. Just for appearance sake.
With all the nonsense rituals JK stole from the cowboy gunslingers, both Orion and Malfoy stood in front of each other. The Slytherin boy takes a very similar stand as Snape while Orion is just standing there, not even his wand pointing at Malfoy.
Others were thinking about what Orion was doing but he didn't care, he just stood there, totally uninterested and and uncaring.
The professors didn't even other telling Orion to raise his wand and started the count
3...2...1...
"Expelliarmus" Malfoy didn't wait for count down to end and cast magic at Orion.
Sigh.
As Orion saw the magic coming, he just took one side step to dodge the attack. 'I have to say, physical capabilities also matter quite a bit in this magical world, especially when it comes to duelling.
[Just end this, why are you wasting time]
'True, but this is a good chance to show him what could have happened to him if I am serious. I am not planning to attack him but when none of his attacks connect, it will just become clear,' Orion said and dodged another attack coming at him.
[Well you do what you want] Merlin sounded like he didn't care and floated away to watch the show]
'Expelliarmus'
Orion saw the attack coming and again easily he dodged the attack. Currently, Orion was fast enough to dodge attacks from even someone like Snape, at least he is sure that if he fights with Nick then he can dodge, overall there is no way Malfoy is so much so even touching his hair.
"Ambrosius, you are not there just to dodge the spells. If you don't know any attack spell then just go down, don't waste our time," Snape reprimanded.
'Sigh, and here I wanted to practice nonviolence,'
Before Orion can attack back, Malfoy summons a snake just like how he did in the movie.
Orion just saw a snake fly and fell in between him and Malfoy.
Orion's face was still unmoved.

What do you thing, how should I tackle duels. You know Orion doesn't play in conventional means not needing a wand already kind of increase his changes as he can use both hands to use magic, not to mention his limited arsenal of offensive spell and insane physic, this kinda hard to understand where he lies. He is botherline level 2 advance in power scale but that is not all right ?
