Open post A path is not simply for walking, its purpose lies in moving forward and improving oneself.
With his grade 3 spell book in his hands, Dorian had found a spell he had wanted to try out while he had been reading in bed. But because the spell was labeled explosive and also because he did not want to lose points by practising the bombarda spell anywhere else in the castle, Dorian thought it was a good idea to use the dueling room for that.
However, once he arrived at the middle floors, the Ravenclaw had entered the wrong room and blinked at the equipment. He was SURE that those hadnt been here last term. Or had they? Intrigued though, Dorian stepped closer to the row of bags hanging from the ceiling near one side of the wall. He had seen these before...in a movie...THAT he was sure of. Didn't the main lead punch those bags to get stronger. How one got stronger by punching a bag was a mystery to him but, he looked around to see if he was alone, it wouldn't hurt to try right?
Placing down his bag and school book nearby, the Ravenclaw rolled up his uniform sleeves and...wait what now? Did he just punch? He thought back of the movie and one thing he remembered was the way man had been standing. Bending his knees a little to stand down firmer on the ground, it would have been perfect if only he had placed one foot before the other instead of next to each other because now he just looked extremely awkward. Like he was riding an invisible bike.
Not knowing he was doing something wrong though, Dorian made a fist and pulled his arm back before he PUNCHED the bag with all his strength. The bag did not even move but the twelve year old had. Because of the way he had been standing, he fell back on the mat but it wasn't the fall that caused the tears in his eyes. "Owwww!" he cried as he held up his fist and blew on it to cool down the pain. Wasn't he supposed to feel NO pain if he was the one doing the punching?! MOVIES LIED!
