Harry Potter: The Cat & Stag

Dueling Lessons

"What are you up to?" I smiled at seeing my 9 tear old son pouring over a textbook.

Harry lifted his head and showed me the book. "Ooh dueling huh?"

"Yes Mum, it sounds so cool! I cant wait till Im 11!"

"Who said you needed to wait?" I smirked.

"Mum?" Harry raised an eyebrow.

"You live in a magical castle all the time Harry, and the Ministry wont know." I winked.

"What do you suggest?" Harry asked nervously.

"You watch a duel between me and another teacher of your choosing." I smiled.

"Snape."

My smile widened, "excellent. I will go inform him."

"Enter." Came the bored voice.

I came in and cleared my throat.

"Minerva, what do I owe the pleasure?"

"Besides for last night? Id like to duel you in front of Harry."

One black eyebrow came up. "I said I was grateful, cant that be enough?"

"You begged me to shag with you. I expect something in return. Or...all the students will know despite your dark tragic side your delivery is terrible." I smiled coyly.

Sev scoffed, "we shall ses, I'd love to see you beg."

"Slimy snake. Wouldn't you love to duel me?" I raised an eyebrow.

"I admit the challenge is tempting. You wont turn me into anything should you loose?" Sevs black eyes glinted.

"Who said Id loose against you?" I smirked

"Ambitious. Are you sure youre no snake?"

"Save the insults for the duel, please." I replied.

"So...its on then?" Sevs eyebrow quirked up.

"Here I thought youd make me beg." I smirked in reply.

"Changed my mind. My classroom in 1 hour. Your precious son is allowed to watch." Sev groaned.

*

"Harry, its in 1 hour, you hear me?" I stated when I had returned.

Harrys face lit up. "Nice Mum!"

When the time had arrived, only Harry sat in the front row at attention. "Go Mum!"

I created a protective shield so my son wouldnt be harmed. Sev and I turned away walked three paces then turned to face each other.

"One..." I said

"Two..." Sev growled.

"Three!" We said together

"Stupefy!" I yelled aiming at my friend.

Sev dodged it then, "Immobulus!"
