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?

It was probably a good thing that Phoenix wasn't the easily startled type or the type of person who would whirl around mid-spell, possibly sending a curse towards and unintended target in the process. In fact, he was a very focused kid and very deliberate in his movements, and actually hadn't started casting yet anyway when he heard his name exclaimed from behind him. He had still been considering what spell he wanted to practice and lowered his wand before he turned to cast a glance at the person addressing him.

"Oh hey, Vera," he greeted his yearmate with a friendly smile. "Yes...but I actually just got here, so I haven't gotten any practice in just yet. I take it you're here for the same reason?" It seemed likely enough since she was here and posed the same question to him. Why else would someone be in the dueling arena? "Want to practice with me?" Might be fun to get some one on one practice in, rather than just casting on the dummies.
