Hogwarts RPG Name: TBD Gryffindor Hogwarts RPG Name: Zara H. Bunbury-Foster Slytherin Fifth Year | GLITTER PUFF?! I am a MAN, GOOD SIR! Well. Fletcher is. Professor Pink | Mrs. Bruce Wayne | I'm on a Goat | Glitterpuff | Dumbledore's Defense Squad | BHB Quote:

But then the boy was shouting about vigilance. Surprise of the century... Fluffy!Puff had something to contribute. Perhaps he wasn't holding an oxygen supply under his well-coiffed hair.

"It sounds like we generally agree on how to interpret this quote, although there are some of you with some REALLY disturbing and violent tendencies." Like Destiny karate chopping people and Lina drawing up battle plans. He'd be watching those two.
For recruitment, of course.
"We all generally agree that being proactive, making plans, being vigilant, as GlitterPuff says, all of this is important aspects of defensive thinking. In order to be defensive... we have to be prepared. We have to be thinking about what is coming at us, expecting the worst."

"Hold that thought," Tate smiled slightly at Kellen's response. You couldn't win a duel with Protego alone, but it was an important spell, especially for the youngest students in this class.
"Now, let's continue in this train of thought for a moment. How can we 'be prepared' as the Muggle Scouts say? As the GlitterPuff says... how can we be vigilant?" .....huhhhhhhhh? Was uh, Lord Vadertot a few fries short of a combo meal? People got pastries in detention? What now? Merlin's beard where did Fletcher sign up?!
He was still staring at the man, slack-jawed and all, until he DELIBERATELY mentioned Fletcher by the name of GlitterPuff. He was so suddenly upset by the horrendous name that he almost (almost) didn't even notice Sandra noticing him noticing her! GASP!
For the love of tea time and hot buttered scones! "Sir, sir, my name is Fletcher, just for future reference. And I hate glitter."
It was right up there on his list of disgusting girly thigs, like giggling, unnecessarily large purses and lip gloss that smelled good but tasted bad.
But to stay on topic, to impress those Durmstrang girls, Fletcher raised his hand again with an idea. "Well, to be one step ahead of your enemy and prepared for whatever they might throw at you, you should always, always gaze at your handy dandy crystal ball before you duel them to see what spells they'll cast and what the outcome will be. Then, you can even place a wager on the outcome of the duel so you'll win AND be handsomely rewarded."
Brilliant idea if he did say so himself. "And you should always, you know, be taking good care of your wand so it works properly and if you own an invisibility cloak, keep that on your person at all times along with some Peruvian Instant Darkness Powder for a quick escape." Genius!
"Oh, and uh," Fletcher's arm was getting tired from his smart but long-winded answer, "be resourceful and mindful of your surroundings while dueling." He was just assuming this was in a hypothetical duel for some lady's honor, right? "Because you might just come across something that could make the difference, like a stack of freshly-filled water balloons for a sneak attack to your enemy's face."
