Cecelia liked that Noah got JUST as excited as she did about stuff 'cause it meant she wasn't getting all excited alone. That kind of feeling was MUCH better when it was shared, or so she thought. As for whether she'd seen Catherine yet or not, the small blonde shook her head. She hadn't and that was pretty strange since Catherine was the type to be early rather than late. She was about to suggest that maybe she'd gotten lost on her way to the arena when she spotted her. She didn't look very happy, did she know? It made some of Cecelia's happiness slip away and she wondered if she should go hug HER, too. She would've even had it not been for the headmaster, who seemed to notice Catherine's...what WAS she feeling? Cecelia would have to ask her later.
OH!
The door slamming made her jump AND giggle AND cup a hand over her mouth to stifle said giggle as she made eye contact with Noah. She hadn't expected that and suddenly she was feeling MUCH more awake than she had been a few moments before. Maybe that was the whole POINT of slamming the door in the first place. That Malachi Trent was a SUPER clever guy.
Dueling sounded like it was going to be REALLY fun and difficult and the added element of danger only made the Gryffindor more excited to try and master the act. As for why it was banned, well, Cecelia could think of all KINDS of reasons, most of which had already been said. HM..."Bet it's 'cause we have to prove that we're responsible enough to duel, well, responsibly...you know, follow the proper dueling etiquette and only use approved spells and stuff. Adults would HAVE to supervise for that to happen." She paused, stood up a bit taller, and then added, "Lucky you've got such a responsible lot this year, Headmaster. You'll have us dueling like professionals in NO time."
