 Swedishfish Girl! ❄ Page-Turning Seamstress ❄ Jess's Soul Sister! Sweetest Swede!
Headmaster Trent's assurances to him that maiming and the use of too advanced spells weren't allowed at Hogwarts lifted a little weight off his shoulders that he didn't even know had been there. Cole had guessed that it probably was the case with supervised practice duels in school settings but it was nice to get it confirmed from an expert.
He heard the sound of knocking on the door but ignored it as the lesson moved on. Cole immediatley felt displeased. They we're going to duel dummies? But he had wanted to duel with a peer like Naya or someone else from his house not a dummy that apparently we're very touchy. As ordered the blond fifth year went over and got himself some thin protection padding which Cole put it on in silence as Headmaster Trent kept demonstrating the next steps of bowing.
When they we're allowed to practice Cole went over to stand behind the a safe red line but in front of his chosen dummy. He practiced the two bows several times before he felt confident enough to try it for real. Taking a long breath, he stepped over the line to face his dummy. He looked up at it and smiled broadly but with respect. "Hi mr dummy sir! I hope it's okay that we partner?" Not expecting an answer Cole bowed down low in the 90 degree bend as best he could before he straighted up and waited with suspence to see if the dummy would bow too or not.
