But he knew he could be better at dueling as he was just a third year, so he wasted no time in heading to the dueling arena, wand in hand at the beginning of the term. He was glad to see it wasn't currently in use, though he knew it was an off day for the club today anyway, and headed towards the practice dummy with his wand in hand.
DADA was the one of two classes that brought Vera actual joy. The creatures in CoMC were just too cute and fascinating to NOT love it, but DADA was a whole lot of activity and running around and just
action. She knew a lot of people would say duelling was strategy, but for her personally she took it as instinct. Did that mean she was probably never going to be a top of the top performers? Yes, probably. But she had
fun with it and at 13, that was all she was looking for.
Which was why when she found she was bored, she skipped her way towards the duelling arena with nothing but her wand and holster so she could do some practicing on a dummy. With not using strategy, it was more practice with her spellwork than anything BUT she would still say that could be useful. Plus, she wanted to impress Professor Khanna now that they had a new DADA teacher and maybe being quick with her spells would help with that.
Pushing open the door into arena, she blinked when another figure caught her eye - before her face split into a grin.
"Phoenix!" She hurried over towards him and would have hugged him (she was one of
those people) except common sense made a rare appearance and said she proooobably shouldn't invade someone's space when they were mid practice.
"Are you getting in some extra practice time before our next club meeting?" Did he ALSO want to impress Professor Khanna?
