I do think I hurt him, or at least that I happened to pick a spell that caused him more discomfort than some of the others. That wasn't my intention, though, what, and it wasn't quite what I meant.
I wish I could explain the feeling. It's like ... everything slows down and there's nothing else in the whole world except me and my opponent. It's not happened since that night, either, even when I've practised at Duelling Club.
Luckily, we didn't talk about that this evening. A great deal else, what, but not about that. Small mercies, I suppose.
I've just got back to the dormitories and checked on Stebbins and Hopkins. They're both all right. Just heartily mortified.
I wish I could see you. I wish we weren't in different common rooms tonight.
