run that wasn’t what she was here to do today…today, she was here to practice…to fight. To spar against a punching bag.

Walking up to it, she steadied herself and sized it up.

One….two…stepping back and getting into position she did it – her knee raised up against her chest…or as against as it could and then it shot out…BAM her foot connected with it steadily the way Henry had taught her those years before.

The only bad part about having this outstanding gym right in their common room was that Jae, a Hufflepuff, couldn't join him. The only times it was really worth exercising in here opposed to outside were on rainy days, or during times when Jae was in class while he had a free period.

This was one of those times.

He was dressed in casual workout clothes, not his more expensive gear - who did he have to impress here? - and stretched over in a corner, doing light exercises (jumping jacks, jogging in place, jumping an invisible rope) to get his body warmed up for a real workout. He could be sloppier and a lot less attractive here in the common room, he had realized, and he was looking forward to not trying to look like he had it all together and be as out of breath as he wanted!

Once he considered himself to be sufficiently warmed up, Callum moseyed into the workout area, sizing up the various equipment available to them. It was then that he saw Mel, which made him smile, and he approached her with caution as she attacked the punching bag. "Here," he said to get her attention, and waited for her to not kick at the bag before he went and stood behind it on the other side from her, bracing it with his body to hold it in place. "Now go." Now it wouldn't swing so wildly and she could get some really good attacks in.
