Class One

Chad woke up, 'Damn it it was monday, the worst day of the week in his opinion. It was the day the weekend stopped, and also the day that all the itty bitty first years were so excited that they were going to learn new spells, they yelled suggestions of what they might be at 5:00 AM. "Shut Up" he yelled at a first year who ran past his bed singing, "Rattus Rattus turn this rat fattus". The boy bursted into tears and ran away.

After 10 minutes he left his common room, and walked to his first DADA lesson of the year. This however, was what he loved about monday. Tormenting the new teachers, well that and that he wasn't too shabby at defending himself. He had two older twins who always casted at him, so he learnt how to fight back at a very young age.

He walked into the classroom, and saw the teacher, he didn't say 'Sorry I'm late miss", or "Good morning miss, it won't happen again", instead he flashed a charming smile at her and sat down

Amelia froze for a few seconds. She had no idea who to partner up with. She wasn’t really all there to think at the moment. The world was still spinning a bit. She got up catching the ice when it fell from atop her head then reapplied it with her hand. Then she felt it, the ripping sensation that is followed by her whole astral project soul splitting thing. She fought back, now wasn’t the time. She was pleasantly surprised when it didn’t happen; she was starting to learn how to control it.

She looked around the room. She didn’t really want to duel Alex, she knew what he was capable of and she didn’t want to be on the other end of his wand. She would just have to hope someone would come forward. She didn’t care who it was besides Alex and that Shylock Ashcroft kid. She did not want to duel him after the whole Potions class thing. She was mortified for life personally, but then again it could be a brilliant time for payback for that too. She didn’t care long as she could focus long enough to duel it would be fine.

She tossed the bag of ice down on the desk. She just stood around looking around the room. She now had her wand in her hand and was twisting it around. She hoped someone would want to play a bit of ‘try to pick on the Hufflepuff’ she was going to love the look on their faces when she turned out to a be bit of harder competitor then they were expecting.

Sorry if I've posted too soon after my last post)

He saw a hufflepuff girl he recognised, 'Amelia' he said, trying to get the girl's attention. He had met her in the clock tower a few day's ago, he didn't mind her even though she was a hufflepuff. "Do you want to go with me" he asked hoping she would. He was a pretty strong dueller himself, but he knew when mad Amelia could get fiery.

He loved duelling against girls, they wouldn't usually beat him, but their had been a few exceptions. The girls that knew astral projection were usually tough to beat. Then he realised Amelia knew astral projection. "Sh--" he said to himself. He couldn't be beaten by a girl again. He quickly tried to hide behind people before she spotted him, but he knew she would eventually see him.

Alex listened intently on every thing the teacher had said, he looked over at some kid, Ashcroft, aimlessly flirting with a girl, Alex let out a chuckle listening to him. "Tool." Alex laugh, whispered to Talon, who was next to him, gesturing at the Ashcroft boy. Alex buried his head on the desk, with his arms around his head, when the beautiful Mrs. Prophet had called the boy a shrimp. He did it, so no one could see the expressions of laughter coming to his face. As he cooled down, the word 'duels' had caught his attention. He really wanted to go against his sister, so he wouldn't feel bad about beating her. But it would suck, he looked at Talon next to him.

"Let's duel together?" He asked, he couldn't wait to show everyone how much of a badass Alex could be. Though he didn't look like it, nobody knew he was the mysterious ninja dressed hero from last year, terrorizing the schools guards who robbed them of their possessions.

Amelia smirked a bit when she saw Chad. She knew who she’d duel now. It would be fun at least. She knew she could mess with him. Also she wanted to make sure he kept his mouth shut about everything she had said at the Clock Tower.

“Oye! Chad, want to play a game?” called out Amelia. She enjoyed teasing him; it was rather fun to do. Boys like him were always fun to take down a few notches. She knew just how to do that thanks to her mother always having to do that to her father. She wouldn’t really injure him that much just scare him a bit so he’d keep his mouth shut. “I can show you why to keep your mouth shut about something,” she whispered nearly a few inches from him.

'Ah...' he shouted, hoping no-one would notice him, 'don't astral project' he said panting, 'you know I hate it'. She had done this various times to him, "It creeps me out" he said and shivered. Making two of your body was not right. He slowly stood up and faced her, he let out a small grin, honestly confirming that he thought she was a little funny, a little.

He walked over to the duelling table, and stood at the opposite end, "Ladies first" he said grinning, he knew she was going to jinx him so bad, he even regretted saying it a little bit, he raised his wand getting ready to block the spells that was coming, he said 'Protego' over and over in his head, preparing to defend himself.

Amelia smirked and rolled her eyes at the same time. She didn’t know why he thought he knew her so well when they hadn’t meet that long ago. She really wanted to take his ego down a few steps so he could see what is in front of him. She also wanted to keep control of her magic, she really didn’t want to put him in St Mungo’s either.

“You do know I can’t really control yet. And if it creeps you out so much I should do it more often,” she said rolling her eyes. She knew soon as he asked her to go first he had made a huge mistake. He had no idea what was coming his way. She had the whole duel planned in her head.

“Tarantallegra!” she called out. She channeled her anger over the whole Potions thing into the spell. She knew that jinx wouldn’t really hurt him even if it had extra strength to it. It would just be even more annoying. Her own sister had used this once on her, she was surprised on how flexible her legs really were.

(I won't block any others)

"Tantellagra" she yelled, the spell was coming at him quick, "Protego" he yelled moving his wand in a blocking position, he grinned at her, if she was going to try embarrass him, he'd have to do it back, 'Colovaria Orange ', he said in a clear soft mocking tone. Pointing his wand at her.

He knew this spell changed the colour of victim's hair, he had had it used on him, as a child by his twin siblings. He had learnt a lot of defensive spells from them. He knew the teacher was probably watching him, so he had to remember not to use any permanent spells. Only use spells that'll wear off, or be changeable by spells he thought.

Amelia dogged to her right since she hadn’t had time to block it just skimmed the ends of her ponytail. She was pissed that the ends of her hair were now pink, she hated the colour pink. She wasn’t going to play little spells anymore. The beast had been awakened.

“Oppugno!” she yelled out as a flock of little golden birds flew out of the tip of her wand. Her voice was filled with anger. She bit her cheek hoping he would dodge knowing it was going to be rather nasty of a hex. She hadn’t really thought of the spell, it just came out her mouth.

She was standing at an offensive stance. She had her wand at the ready for anything really. She was in fight mode, she couldn’t think of anything else but the duel. She also knew she had to control herself also so not to get into trouble.

((Feel free to dodge any spells))
