I would like for you to choose between a Code Duello for use in the arena here at Hogwarts while you are learning, and one for an official dueling competition amongst adult witches and wizards. You may begin working on this in class now if you wish and feel free to discuss it with others."
ooc: I'll be opening a new thread for the continuation of the lesson in about 12 hours or so. This one will stay open and you guys are more than welcome to start on that homework and work on it in the thread. HOWEVER... please wait until the entire assignment is posted before submitting it to me. Points can be earned from beginning to do this in the thread and it is up to you whether you wish to RP with others or work on it individually.
After having stood outside for a moment, trying to clear her head, Miranda walked back inside and into the classroom to continue with the class. She wandered over to her seat and started to scribble on a piece of parchment.
Code duello... Right.

Code Duello
As set by Miranda BelCanto
School Duels;
Limits -
Under no circumstances should the limits be bypassed or ignored. If the limits are ignored, the involved will be reprimanded.
• No physichal contact
• Must duel with someone of same year/level
• Seconds are to be appointed - must also be of same year/level as duellers or same year/level as eachother
• No spells to make opponent dissapear to other locations
• Absolutely no Unforgivable Curses
• Only spells that are defensive/offensive should be used. E.g. NO spells to cause damage - only to disarm.
Completion Points -
The duel will be completed when either one or both (including seconds) duellers have...
• Decided to give up by either dropping their wand or shouting 'Surrender!'
• Decided they are in no state to continue.
• Cannot continue due to unconciousness.
• Seconds decide to break it off (if duel takes to bloody long)
•
Official Duels;

• No unforgivable curses (unless both duellers agree it is okay to use them)
• No spells to make opponent dissapear to other locations
•

The duel will be completed when either one or both (including seconds) duellers have...
• Decided to give up by either dropping their wand or shouting 'Surrender!'

Uh...
What else. Something else. Yeah, she'd have to work on this. Later.
She looked up around her to see the others at work. The Professor was standing over there and Miranda decided it would be best to go apologize to the Professor. She got up and wandered over to him.
"Sir," Her gaze was downcast as she spoke,
"I wanted to apologize for before... it wasn't my intention to be rude. " Uuuuuuh. "I'm just really eager to...learn." That sounded not dorky at all.
