Headmistress Rae-Branxton opened the door to her classroom and flicked her wand to open the windows. A gentle breeze brought in sounds from the grounds, but it was worth the slight distraction. Rae moved to sit on the front of her desk, waiting for her class to arrive. | |

Kennedy raised her hand and answered, "Perhaps expelliarmus. If you can disarm your opponent, you can prevent them from attacking you with most spells, unless of course they can perform spells without a wand. In which case, Protego might be more beneficial to create a magical shield."

Clifford sat quietly taking notes as Prfessor Rae spoke to the class. Defence Against the Dark Arts wasn't his strongest subject and he was not confident enough to answer the questions. So instead he sat taken notes, occasionally looking around at his classmates.

Second Year | you live your life just once, so don't forget about a thing called love.
Christian wrote down what was one the board. He thought about her question for a second and answered,
"Could it be the shield charm?"
He never liked answering questions. For certain reasons.

Jamie raised his hand. "I don't believe there is necessarily one important spell for defence," he began. "But I do believe there are a few simple spells that come in handy for defending yourself in basic battles. Expelliarmus is one of those -- unwanding your enemy is a quick and easy trick. And it gives you a momentary advantage. Even something like Petrificus Totalus is helpful, because while your opponent is rendered frozen, they cannot do anything to you and again you're at an advantage. Neither really harm the person, just merely give you an upperhand." The boy gave a short nod after his explanation and sat back down.

Emily wrote the stuff down from the board quickly. She had to choose fast it was either expelliarmus or the stunning spell. She rose her hand. "I would have to say the disarming spell if you can disarm your opponet it would give you time to think of another spell that could actually give you the time toget out of the situation" she said trying hard not to close her eyes. She was not a person to go and stick her hand in the classroom.

Lu was day dreaming at Zyra's hairstyle, she really wished she had such talent with grooming. Rubbing her eyebrows to focus in class, she raised her hand and thought to participate for a bit "Perhaps disarming your opponent using methods of attacking? For example using the spell 'stupefy'? and perhaps confident use of non-verbal spells?"

Sam smiled as the Professor introduced herself. He didn't know anybody in the room at the moment but he was planning to. Listening in the back of the class, Sam took a look around him. There weren't many Hufflepuffs in the room and he wondered where they all were. Sam had only transfered to the school this year and he had yet to get to know the twists and turns that Hogwarts held, and he had to know some of these girls...
Sam almost slapped himself. Must be puberty....what else would make him think like that? "Ah...The sheild charm, professor, Progreto," Sam said quickly raising his hand trying to get the thought out of his head. Must be puberty...

Rae nodded her head. "So I have four votes for Expelliarmus, three for Protego, and two who can't make up their mind. That's quite a good turn out, considering those are the first spells we're going to learn today. Let's discuss casting and duelling though. When you're duelling... what do you do FIRST?"

Emily tapped her chin. "In a duel you take so many spaces apart bow and then start I think" she muttered quietly. She wrote, DUEL on her parchment and wrote stuff down.

Raising his hand, Jamie said, though rather uncertainly, "You get into stance? Don't you have to face each other and bow to your opponet? And make sure your wand is where you can reach it and pull it out, preferrably in a pocket within your robe or something. You don't want to stick it in your pocket or behind your ear or something like that."

Kennedy listened as her classmates provided other really good answers to Professor Rae-Branxton's questions. When the class was asked another question, Kennedy's arm shot into the air, "Well in formal dueling, don't you bow to your opponent and then take a certain amount of paces away from them? Although in true battle, such formalities would not likely be upheld."

Faye thought for a moment, "In a formal duel, you would bow, but if someone where to just attack you, they'd probably skip that step. I think it really depends on how much time you have. Protego if a spell is coming right at you, Expelliarmus, if they haven't cast yet but you know they will."

"Yes, obviously if this were a real fighting situation, there wouldn't be any bowing or paces. It would be a matter of reaction time. We'll work on that in the Duelling Arena, and perhaps dedicate a class period to it. But for now, we'll discuss the mechanics of a duel."
"Joe is right... we do need to bow. That will be five for Ravenclaw. And five more for Emily, because after the bow, you take a predetermined number of paces. We'll say five, because we don't have much room. Spin and get into position. Then cast. I want you all to rise and demonstrate your stance to me."

Tae stood up to show his stance. He squared his shoulders and his feet were shoulder width apart. He raised his arm to shoulder height. That was his stance. He hoped he was right.

Mallory got nervous. Although she learned a stable fencing stance, she was unsure if that would be sufficient enough for wand duelling. She stood up and did her fencing stance, but instead of a sword, she held out her wand. She put on her determined face, one hand above her head, another pointing straight ahead. | |

Kennedy did as she was told. Spreading her legs shoulder-width apart, with a slight bend in the knee and a sligh turn at the waist. Kennedy held her wand firmly, but not with too tight a grip, just above waist-high. She waited for the professor to give her opinion.

Jocasta got up. She flipped her bangs to the side hoping they wouldn't get in her eyes druing the rest of the class. She took her wand out of the inside of the robes and grasped onto it more than she usually did. She placed her he dominat foot in front of her left one, hoping the stance was somewhat how they told you to stand for sports in muggle school.s

Faye stood and took her stance, knees bent, left foot leading, right arm, her wand arm, raised above her head, and leaning slightly forward but not so much that she could pitch over. she gripped her wand firmly, but not too tight, so she could adjust it as needed.

Christian got up. He didn't exactly remember how to do this. He twirled his wand in his hand nervously. He watched everyone else to see what they were doing. He probably looked pretty dumb just standing there. He got nervous, he know the professor wasn't asking for much, he just had this thing against making himself look like an idiot.

Emily looked up. "Whoops that must have been loud" she smiled. She was right though. She stood up and held her wand in front of her with her elbow at an angle. She smiled slightly and tucked a stray piece of her curly blonde hair behind her ear. She positioned her legs shoulder width apart and her waist slightly turned. She bit her lip. Was she missing something. She went over what she had read in her head.
