Sonora jotted a quick note on Edric’s suggestions in her manuscript book, next to her notes on Waddiwasi. Patience and Concentration. She could definitely do that! And it sounded like if she was going to practice with just one item at first anyways she should focus on putting force behind that one. Multiple objects would come later.
She smiled in support when Edric started the club and turned around with renewed enthusiasm to Cassidy--of course! We’re in the same year!-- once the pairs were announced. ”Sounds good! Cassidy, shall we take that space on the other side of the fountain?” she gestured, intending to make full use of the space available. She wasn’t sure of her peer’s experience with dueling and welcomed any conversation beforehand, but was also excited to duel someone new.
Sonora had decided she needed to react faster and be more strategic with her dueling. The reaction time thing she was sure would improve with experience--that seemed to be the way with Quidditch anyways. And strategy--well, she had a few ideas, the first of which she’d started in Defense Against the Darks Arts in the challenge to disarm Professor Cohen. Well here was a chance to try again!
Taking a stance a few paces away, she raised her wand and bowed to Cassidy to signal the start of the duel. As soon as she was sure her opponent was ready, she took careful aim and fired off her own opening spell: ”Rictusempra!”

Vinny hoped he wasn't too late. He could've joined last year but he felt too inexperienced to really do much, now he had a good arsenal. Sure he had a bit of a natural resistance but that just meant he could help people practice. Aeryn seemed grumpy since she learned her brother Cian had landed prefect, Vice Captain and Head of Music Club. Vinny wouldn't want that amount of responsibility, but as it was bothering his best friend he wanted to cheer her up. What better way than violence? Upon entering it did appear they were late. "Oh! Sorry, we're late can we still join in?" Vinny said sheepishly when they entered. He felt bad they were interrupting

Despite her original plan of secluding herself in the common room for the day, Aeryn was out and about, albeit grumpily. She was following Vinny to one of the classrooms, where dueling club was supposed to meet. It was better than staring at the letter she'd gotten from her parents asking about school. It just wasn't fair, that Cian would have tons to write about, but the best she had was a halfhearted "I'm not failing anything". She figured her parents would be disappointed in her, thinking her a failure to her brother's successes. It had been about then that Vinny had found her, all curled up on the comfiest chair in the common room. Luckily, he seemed to know what to do. Because of that, Aeryn was now following her tall friend toward dueling. Once there, he spoke up, while she crossed her arms over her chest, frowning slightly.

Thirteen Years Old - Third Year - Hufflepuff - Reserve Chaser
╚═════════════════════════╝
Jordan was excited to join the duelling club. He promised himself that this would be the year that he got a little more involved around school – he rejoined the Quidditch team (even if he was only a reserve), and now he was going to join this club, too. The thirteen year old spotted a very familiar redhead, but it looked like he was a little late as she was about to duel their classmate Sonora. On the bright side, the Hufflepuff wasn’t the only one who was late. Standing beside him were two of his other classmates, Vincent and Aeryn. Jordan stayed quiet, waiting for Edric to answer Vincent’s question.

At least she'd be doing something cool for knowledge and not out of boredom, her mum couldn't yell at her for that! Soon enough though it was time to actually duel and she eagerly joined Sona by the fountain and took her stance. When they were both ready, Sona fired first with a tickling spell that Cassie barely managed to move out the way of completely forgetting about casting a protego. She'd need to get better at this!

Locomotor...?-- Mortis of course! Sonora had stepped back when she heard the first part, intending to dodge whatever Cassidy was levitating, maybe cast a Finite to thwart her. She barely managed to scramble to the side when she realized it wasn’t a levitating spell but the Leg-Locker Curse.
She stumbled away at the last second but her legs snapped together before she get properly out of the way. There was no time to ponder that now. What was the better strategy here, go for a body impairment like Cassidy had or distract and batter?
”Expelliarmus!” she cried, trying to buy herself time to free her legs. ”Finite.”
She didn’t dare assume the Expelliarmus would distract Cassidy for long and scampered to the side as soon as she was free, hoping to throw her opponent’s aim off for whatever spell landed next.

 THOMAS MCGREGOR________EDRIC.NOTT _____._Fifth Year, Hufflepuffxxxx.
Dueling Club Captain xxxx════════════════════ __
Edric watched as Sonora and Cassidy moved to the other side of the fountain to stake out territory for their first duel of the year. Now only he and Katya were left. Directing Katya with his yew wand in hand, he crossed through the dewy grass and paused at the sound of echoing footsteps. Entering the courtyard was another band of students, third and fourth years, if Edric had to guess--well, except for maybe that seventh year?--Edric had to crane his head back to look up at the bloke. He must be that half-giant everyone talked about a few years ago. ”No, you’re right on time, we were just about to start dueling. Just uh… make sure you’re signed in… and we can get started..”
Edric spun back to Katya with a quick apology; their duel would have to wait for now, maybe. With a quick headcount, he realized someone would have to sit out and watch. Once he was sure he had a sign-in sheet for every person, he faced the new group and said, ”Righ’ then, since this is all your first time here, we’ll go over the rules. First, don’t be an arse. Don’t use spells that are going to send someone straight to the Hospital Wing; tha’ includes fire spells, exploding spells, and the like. I keep healing potions stocked but I can’t do much if you diffindo someone’s arm off, alrigh? Second, don’t forget your manners when dueling. You start every duel with a bow, get in your stance, then at the start of three, start dueling. Duels are magic only, so no fist-fighting when things don’t start going your way. In our club, we don’t use seconds. If you don’t know, in a full-on wizards duel, you can choose a ‘second’ who takes over for you if you die--don’t worry, that’s very rarely ever the case anymore. Most duels are regulated in competitions….
“So, with that all out of the way now, the only thing that’s left is to decide who’s dueling who. Since there’s three of you, someone is going to have to duel either me or Katya. I’ll let you decide for yourselves.”

Vinny smelt danger in the option to duel Katya. He knew Areyn's opinion on her brothers girlfriend. And he didn't want to see Aeryn get the boot from dueling club first day. Besides blasting spells at friends can be fun too. Sire she might be miffed but she can take a it out on spells. He could take it expecilly for Aeryn. "Me and Aeryn here can partner up. " Vinny said filling out a form. He piped up before Aeryn's war cry of choosing Katya could sound. He liked she was fiery but that can backfire sometimes. His on snark had gotten a stern look before from teachers. Though lately his size alone was a good bully deterant. At least it good for something right?

Jordan felt a little intimidated when he was left to duel one of the older kids. He vaguely knew of both Edric and Katya, but only because they were in the same house. The third year narrowed his eyes and looked over at the half giant, feeling slightly betrayed that he had chosen Aeryn for his opponent even though he knew they were good friends and Jordan was just a classmate. Green eyes darted back up at Edric. "I guess that'll be me," he piped up. At least the rules were easy enough to follow, so it wasn't like he would do anything that could not only kick him from the club, but also make him look like a fool in front of the older students.

_______________
Sonora headed downstairs to the Clocktower Courtyard early directly after her 7th block, the training dummies floating behind her. Club didn’t start for an hour, but after some careful planning, Sona figured she could set up early and so some practical spell studying either alone or with friends before club officially started. She still had her uniform on because she had a late evening class, but had swapped her robe with the Prefect and Head Girl badges on it this year for her favorite bright green windbreaker and a Ravenclaw scarf-- deliberate choices to appear more welcoming for younger students.
For now, she unclipped the charm on her bracelet and drew her wand. A simple review: ”Waddiwasi--Engorgio--Avifors!” After checking that she had, as precisely intended, created a great blue heron, she reverted the heron and turned to the training dummy to drill a spell set she was having some complications controlling--or not controlling: ”Aguamenti--Glacius--Frango Frigus.” A stream of water rushed out, froze into ice, and then quickly broke apart again. But the breaking apart happened within a very small area, not enough to be damaging as a dueling spell. ”Glacius...Frango Frigus!” Wandless, it was barely a puff, more like melting immediately than shattering.
Shortly before club was supposed to actually start, Sona grabbed the club forms from her bag, transfigured a charm into a table, and sat cross-legged nearby, practicing a wandless levitation on another charm.

Jordan made his way to the Clocktower Courtyard for the first Dueling Club meeting of the year. He was looking forward to it – it had helped him immensely with his spell-work. However, his wand was already a pretty ideal wand for curses and jinxes, so maybe not all of the credit for his good grades came from this one club. “Hey, Sonora,” he said softly, watching his classmate levitate a charm. Jordan could tell she was quite focused on her magic, so he silently took a form and began filling it out. Besides, he didn't really have much to say to her at the moment. After all, they've been seeing each other in the majority of their classes all week.

Aidene headed out to the Dueling club exactly on time. She had an open 7th block, but had been so tired after a full day of classes that she had simply gone upstairs to change and promptly fell asleep sprawled over Jonah's couch. Luckily she'd woken up with a few minutes to run downstairs and refill her water bottle.
Down in the couryard, Sonora greeted Jordan with a smile. "Jordan, hey!" She turned her attention towards him, sending the little charm flying at him with a wandless "Depulso." It wasn't particularly fast--more like throwing it to him rather than an attack, which she had definitely done before in duels. "I thought of a bunch of fun things we could do over the summer," she said with an almost mischievous smile. "What do you think of--"
"A TOURNAMENT? Aidene jumped in, arriving just in time to greet the seventh years that were already there. Her Combat Training Trifecta-- Tuesdays martial arts, Wednesdays dueling, Thursdays fencing--had given her a wonderful new scheme to propose when she wasn't busy with other clubs or quests--and that pesky thing called homework. "And we could do special divisions like wandless dueling or all-for-ones."
Sona laughed. "It sounds like you have a plan?"
"I do! It's called 'Actually Beat Vinny!' because it's my last year to," Aidene brought up her yearly goal of beating Vinny. She was lucky if she got a few clean hits in on any of the seventh years, but she certainly didn't lack for enthusiasm. "So! Old people, which one of you wants to help me train for the boss?" she grinned, issuing her challenge with a light-hearted joke.

It wasn’t like Jordan hadn’t expected Sonora to greet him with an attack, but he just didn’t expect it to be that quick into their meeting. His wand was tucked away, but he was still ready to counter it wandlessly with “Finite.” Just as quick as the spell had been cast, it had been countered. “Do some of those things include ambushing a poor, defenceless lad with a charm as soon as he walks into the meeting?” he asked jokingly. He supposed he wasn’t that defenceless, considering he was able to counter the spell without a problem.
Jordan almost jumped up when Aidene entered. “Jesus, Aidene. Have you ever thought about bringing your voice down just a touch, so you don’t scare everyone in ear shot?” The seventh year really thought he would have gotten used to the girl by now, but she still manages to creep up and scare the living s**t out of him. Looking over at her, he listened to her idea, but didn’t say anything. It sounded like fun, and he could always use some extra help with his wandless magic considering he hadn’t any problem with using his wand. “You do realize we’re only three years apart, right?” he asked with a grin as he approached the Ravenclaw. “I’ll take you on.”
