There were two sharp TOOTS sounding throughout the room, causing Ariadne to stop in place and look around the room. OHH, it was the professor! Funny little sound, that whistle was! He followed that by launching into a huge discussion about a wrist hold, which Ariadne actually listened to from start to finish. The dummy had always KILLED her (no, not really), so she wasn't going to wind up the weak one a second time around.

After that, Ariadne began to get dressed in the weird little get-up the professor had provided for them. Dear MERLIN, these were huge on her! She should have really looked for a smaller size, but everything was on her now! Maybe somebody knew a re-sizing charm or something like that. Now she had her choice--work with a dummy or another person. ANOTHER PERSON! There was no contest about that one! Those dummies were scary, and somebody else could deal with them!

"Does anyone want to partner up with me?" she asked. Someone? Anyone? ... Please?
