Unfortunately, Jesper was better. Call it talent, or skill, but Jesper Fahey was a different man during a duel. He wore the same smile but was undeniably different. He stood taller. His eyes were brighter. The lazy grip he usually kept on his mahogany wand was tighter, more controlled. He wasn’t graceful, like Inej. He didn’t rely on sheer force like Matthias. Jesper dueled like someone working apart a complicated puzzle; he sidestepped and evaded and twisted everything to his advantage. It was maddening. Dueling with him was like trying to attack the air. Not even Matthias could truly best him. They always ended in a draw.
“You should have been in Slytherin,” he said casually to Inej as he cracked Eamon over the head with his walking stick. Eamon crumpled to the ground, unconscious. “Using a man’s weakness against him like that. Very devious.” His face and chin were covered in blood. He swiped at it impatiently.Inej pulled Kaz’s wand out of Doughty’s frozen grasp. “I think there’s something very Gryffindor about jumping into a fight where the odds are so against me,” she said, holding out the wand to Kaz. “I’ll take it as a compliment, though.”
“Wylan isn’t an easy target,” Jesper said. “He’s not weak. If he’s trapped somewhere, I would bet my life that he’s fighting like hell to get out.”“Don’t mischaracterize him,” Kaz added. Jesper turned to look at him, surprised at the support, but Kaz was still looking absently out the window.
It took Jesper ten minutes to realize Nina and Matthias were holding hands. The sight was so shocking that it almost spent him sprawling on the forest floor. It took another five minutes for him to tamp down the wild urge to laugh and punch the air.
He had known for years that Matthias had a thing for Nina. A thing that he would never confess to. A thing that had first emerged as distrust and dislike. Jesper still remembered his third year, when Matthias had gotten into a shouting match with Nina in the Great Hall. The rumor mill had been delighted, at the time. No one could ever forget the way Matthias Helvar, tall and blond and intimidating even at fourteen, had looked when Nina threw a waffle directly at his face.
