Malfoy, meanwhile, was sitting at the Slytherin table, looking absolutely smug. He had never been more proud of himself than at that moment. Finally, everyone, even Potter himself, was recognizing his superiority!

...Malfoy was under the delusion that everyone was concerned for Jake. They were not. Pretty much everyone in the hall knew the blond snake was about to be destroyed, except him and his delusional band of minions.

"You got this, Draco," Crabbe said.

"That's right, time to show them all the true power of the purebloods," Goyle added on.

Malfoy nodded to himself sagely. These were what true friends were! Not only did they listen to absolutely everything he said, no questions asked, but they also always believed in him too!

Dumbledore asked all the students to either move to the left or right sides of the hall so that they wouldn't be in the line of any spellfire. Once all the students moved out of the way, Dumbledore waved his wand, and all the tables vanished from the room.

"Alright then, the center of the hall is now clear. It's time to commence the duel. Are you both 100% sure you want to go through with this?" Dumbledore asked, staring directly at Malfoy as he asked that.

"Hah! You can't deny me this, old man. I'm about to put this bastard in his place!" Malfoy shouted out smugly.

"And you, Jake?" Dumbledore asked, hoping that maybe one of these two would see that violence wasn't the answer.

Jake shrugged. "I mean, I guess we don't have to fi-oooof!" Serafall slugged Jake in the gut before he could finish saying no. "What the hell, Sera?"

"Jake," Serafall said seriously, "my mission to investigate you is now pretty much over, which means I'm going to be called back to the Underworld soon." She whispered to him.

Jake looked a little sad about that revelation. "Okay, but what does that have to do with this?" He asked.

"Since this may be my last night of vacation from work, then I demand a good show!" She said smugly. "Therefore, I demand you go beat the crap out of the inbred ferret. But don't end it too quickly," she added. "That's no fun for the spectators!"

"Fine," Jake said to her. He turned back to Dumbledore. "I guess I'll fight," he said.

Dumbledore sighed. Violence had won out oce again…"So be it then. Both duelists, please meet at the center of the room."

Jake Gremory and Draco Malfoy moved to the center of the room. Malfoy drew his wand from his sleeve, while Jake formed the Gremory magic circle above his hand.

"Whoa, what's that? It looks so cool." Someone called out.

"That's like a real magic circle straight from Dungeons and Dragons!"

Malfoy sneered at Jake. "It doesn't matter if you've learned some new wandless paltry tricks! In the end, before the power of a noble wizard's wand, it's worthless."

From the magic circle in his hand, Jake cast his ice magic and formed an ice baseball bat. He gripped it with both hands and took a batter's stance, facing Draco.

"Okay, bring it on!" He said smugly. Malfoy, who obviously had never seen baseball before, just sneered at Jake's stupid pose.

He fired a Depulso right at Jake, who in turn swung his icy bat right at the incoming magic. The spell connected to the bat and was flung right back at Malfoy!

"Oh shit!" Malfoy yelled as he leapt out of the way of his own reflected spell.

"Whoa, that was cool," a girl shouted out.

"I didn't know you could reflect spells back at people without a wand!" Another added.

"You got lucky there," Malfoy glared, "but how about this? Depulso, Expelliarmus, Stupefy!" He rapidly cast three spells in succession. Draco didn't believe there was any way that Jake could swing his bat fast enough three times in a row... and he was technically right.

As the three spells headed in Jake's direction, he just stood there unmoving. Initially shocking the spectators. That is until the first spell approached him... and veered off by a few feet towards his side.

The other two spells also flew in random directions, completely missing Jake, who hadn't moved at all.

Jake just turned his head and watched the spells sail by him and eventually hit a wall. He turned back to Malfoy. "Dude, that was sad," Jake said with some pity. Everyone watching nodded along in agreement.

Even Snape, who was Draco's godfather, could only shake his head in secondhand embarrassment.

Malfoy's face turned beet red in embarrassment. "How dare you make a fool of me once again, Jake!" He screamed. "Let's see if you're good enough to dodge this!" He shouted out, "Serptorsia!"

As he cast his spell, a king cobra suddenly sprang from his wand and landed a few feet in front of Draco!

The poor snake was extremely confused. One moment it was about to catch a nice mouse in the fields of India when suddenly everything went black and spinny, and suddenly it was surrounded by all these two-legged giants!

"Attack him, cobra! Go and bite Jake right over there!" Malfoy pointed at Jake as he screamed at the snake. Said snake was only summoned a few feet in front of Malfoy, meanwhile Jake was all the way across the hall…

What happened next was not unexpected for anyone watching. And unfortunately for Draco, he was not a Parselmouth, so the snake not only didn't understand him, but it also didn't have any reason to obey him!

From the poor snake's perspective, this two-legged giant was yelling at it. 'Was the two-leg going to attack it? It needed to bite it first!' The cobra rushed towards Draco, who was yelling at it that it was going the wrong way.

It didn't stop as it leapt up and bit him.

"Aaaaaahhh!" Malfoy screamed in pain as the cobra clamped onto his leg and pumped him full of venom. "Get this fucking snake off me!"

"Wow, this is just sad," Harry said to Ron. Both of them were observing this absolute travesty of a duel and actually starting to feel a bit bad for Draco.
