History does not forget, nor forgive, at least not those who end up living to share the story. Every magical family consider it was a must that their kids were well prepared in case the ambition of darkness strike again.
Or at least, that was the idea that y/n’s parents had, definitely seeing how many families broke during the last war, was something that made them worry, that’s why, since a young age, they teach all their kids how to duel, and insisted them to enter the dueling club to keep pulling their abilities.
That was the first meeting of the dueling club, everyone was a little bit shook when they saw you there, you, who always appear to be so calm, fragile, and like someone who rather stays away from fights.
— Have you seen who is in here?
Charlie told Tonks, who raise an eyebrow intrigued by your presence, it was no secret to the redheaded boy, that she had a big crush on you, your mysterious calm vibe was something she just couldn’t stop thinking about
— Mmm maybe they got lost? But man, I don’t care is my perfect opportunity to save them! And made them notice me
— Oh I bet she notice you Tonks, is nearly impossible not to, you are always so loud
Charlie joke as Tonks gave him a funny look that made everyone laugh, but you, who was waiting in silence near the window, god, why were you always so out of her reach?
— Well at least I’m always nice to look at
She said, not intending to sound like a brat, a familiar smirk appear on her face, you were beautiful to look at, and so she had heard, you were also brilliant in your academics, but you seem so quiet and calm she barely approached to you, since she didn’t want to make you feel uncomfortable, but apparently, call it destiny, the signs had aligned and she got the perfect opportunity to talk to you.
But before the luck turn to be totally in her favor, the teacher enter the room asking for everyone’s attention, but since Tonks was confused about the fact you didn’t leave when it was clear this was the dueling club didn’t pay much attention to the teacher as they were talking maybe you weren’t lost after all
— … and since you seem to be way more advance than the rest of your classmates, considering that you are not paying attention, Nymphadora, come here, you will go first with…
The teacher scanned the room to find the poor victim that will face her, god, she had that big smirk on her face, she will be able to show off in front of you, the day couldn’t go better the teacher call out your name… what?!!
— Y/n Watson, come here, one of my greatest students, I’m so happy you get to join us
Tonks was mortified, she couldn’t show off if YOU were the one she was facing, but she did saw this opportunity as the perfect time to talk to you.
— Don’t worry darling, I’ll go easy on you
She said with a smile full of confidence, and a little flirty wink, that made you smile shortly
— Oh don’t you worry Nymphadora, I’m surely not
You strike back, GODDAMIT,! You were perfect! She was feeling sorry that she was about to kick your ass.
The teacher gave the instruction and the duel begging
— Oh I like that, confidence, that will allow me to have mercy on you angel, at the end of the day, I don’t want to harsh such a pretty face
— Well, I’m not asking for any mercy, I think duels are quite educational, so I will appreciate it if you don’t hold back
The flirting keep going, she didn’t miss the fact that you knew her name, like, she didn’t even like her name that much, but god you could call her whatever you like.
She was on cloud 9 when she was impacted with a clean and powerful flipendo
Making everyone in the room gasp, Charlie did laugh a bit
— An important rule, is to never underestimate your opponent, which will make you automatically lose.
The teacher exclaim with a proud smile on their face as you approach to help Nymphodora up.
— Hope you can keep fighting, darling
You said as you go back to your spot, oh what a lovely box of surprises you were, and a powerful one.
The duel kept going, now on serious matters, and even though she fought her best, she was only able to get to you twice.
It ends with you hitting her with a precise depulso, strong enough to take her out of the duel core but not strong enough to hurt her
— And Watson wins!
The teacher exclaims as your classmates cheer for you, while you have a little smile of embarrassment, after all, you weren‘t used to that much of attention.
You help Nymphodora up.
— You gotta date me!
She exclaims dramatically as she stands up, totally making you blush.
— I’ll think about it when you can defeat me
You whispered completely flustered as you go back to your corner where some of your house friends were. Oh, this was game on, she will defeat you and take you on a date, she was determined.
