Dueling club meeting! Carl had signed up almost as soon as Professor Hirsch announced that it would be open this year. He had heard about the cool things some of the older duelers had done in the club last term, so he could not wait to join in the fun. In the previous week, he had read up on spells one could use in a duel and had attempted some of them ... so you could say he was well prepared for this meeting.

Excitedly, the Hufflepuff walked into the Arena. He smiled at the Professor (who also looked quite enthusiastic) and greeted, "Hello, Professor!" Then, he gave Professor Flamsteed a Vulcan salute and sat down on a mat near the front.
