He'd think about that later, for now, the man turned to face his students once more. "Welcome to Defense Against the Dark Arts. For those of you who haven't figured it out yet, or don't remember, my name is Malachi Trent. Headmaster Trent is the generally accepted term of referral. I accept 'Professor' as well while we're in lessons. The door I've slammed shut is a normal occurrence. Show up to class late and there will be no class for you to show up to." They would soon come to realize how literal he was being with that. It wasn't all the time that they remained in one place during a lesson. "Don't be here when I take attendance and you'll find more troubles than whatever led you to be absent in the first place." As it so happened, while at school, lessons were not optional.
Now then, with that little matter of house keeping taken care of...a lighter note. "Given the reading I know you all tried to get in before heading to class like the tremendous students I know you all are," He'd sent a message to their noticeboards, a greeting for when they woke up. Only a page or two. Nothing they couldn't have gotten done over breakfast. "It's time to talk a little about dueling." Yay, school, summer's over. Fun. [b]"First, why do you think it's banned at Hogwarts without the expressed permission and supervision of a professor and can you see the logic in such a decision?"[/b
See? Easy. Sometimes, it was best to ease the students into the term...other times you led them into a dark swamp and hoped they survived...but he digressed.
Cole got a smile out of Headmaster Trent so the year he'd wager was off to a good start. The usual dooms day speech about consequences if you we're late to class was given as expected. He respected their headmaster and knew that he wasn't saying this just to scare them.
Reading? They hadn't been required to do any special reading for this first lesson had they? Cole tried to recall their summer homework but nothing came to mind. He'd just have to use his grand fantasy he supposed if he didn't know an answer. They we're to no surprise considering the dummies going to be talking about dueling.
Raising his hand to answer Cole said with some sureness to his voice. "Dueling without supervision i think is banned because a duel between young witches and wizards can quickly get dangerous and often lead to both bad spell injuries and other accidents. The duelers might try to use spells they aren't mature or experienced enough to use for their age and that can get catastrophic consequences. With a professor on hand logically there'd be less risk of injuries and we'd train dueling in a way that is safe." Taking his hand down he now hoped they'd get to duel.
