Isla was actually excited about another Defense Against the Dark Arts class. Some classes could feel more like classes, while other classes felt more...well, fun. She always had fun in Trent's classes. However, as soon as she stepped into the arena, she froze. Wait...they were actually going to get in the arena and duel one another, weren't they? Why had she thought they'd just have a class in here?

Isla was TERRIFIED of dueling.

"Hello, Headmaster," she said, a slight tremble in her voice. She knew it was super silly to be this terrified of in-class dueling, but she was. She just couldn't help it. She had almost no confidence that she could face off against someone and fire off spells just as quickly as the dummies in class did. Nevertheless, she hung around. Maybe it wouldn't be so bad after all...
