| Term 27: January - April 2011 Term Twenty-seven: Muggle Madness (Sept 2073 - June 2074) |
08-28-2010, 04:57 AM
| | Defense Training Room
Because the Headmaster has no use for a second office, he has re-purposed this room for an entirely different use. The room is larger than it should be; the fact that Tate reduced a wall into an adjoining room is obvious by the fact that his ‘office’ has two doors along the same long wall. Rather than leaving an empty office or reinventing the standard dueling area, the room now serves as a training facility for those with an interest in Defense and Defense related careers: Aurors, Hit Wizards, and the International Task Force (among others).
The two windows in the room face out over an inner courtyard and let in tree-filtered light throughout the day. Beside one such window, floor-to-ceiling bookshelves have been stuffed full of countless Defense texts. The titles range from ancient tomes in spidery indecipherable scripts to glossy hardcovers featuring some of the premiere Defensive authors of the day. The long table is conducive for transcribing notes from the various books, but there are also a few deep chairs pushed together for general reading or quiet conversation. There is a sign posted on the bookshelf. Quote:

Along the opposite wall, leading from the far door halfway to the window, Tate has set up various pieces of exercise equipment, intending for those interested in pursuing a Defensive career to develop themselves physically as well as mentally. A punching bag is suspended from the ceiling in the corner, sitting beside a stand of free weights and other odds and ends, mats and exercise balls and the like. Stretching along the remainder of the space to the window is an enormous climbing wall, complete with hand and foot holds all the way up to the ceiling. There are no ropes, but the floor is generously cushioned with a charm.
Between the two windows sit a series of padded dummies, perfect for any dueling practice needed for class or just to be used in the process of learning new spells. Drag one or two out and practice. Either of the windows onto the courtyard may be opened and, weather permitting, training can extend into this open space. Try not to kill and trees or squirrels in the process. Quote:

"And what are you researching?" Tate checked the inhabitants of the nearly empty room with a small nod before making his way over to peer at the books on the shelf as well. It was strange, considering he'd stalked these shelves himself, but he always seemed to be finding books that he'd never seen before.
"Are you busy?"

"Are you busy?" "Nothing in particular," Jake murmured, having plucked a book from the shelf and been flipping through it carefully. "I've wanted to look through some of these books for a while..."
Oh wait, who was talking to him?
Ah. Oops? He'd become absorbed in the knowledge.
"Not busy at all... not now the NEWTs have been abolished," he said with only slight bitterness, making a face as he did so. "Been wandering around... bored."
...
...
Hence why he was here, looking for that duel.

"I'm sure they'll reschedule or... something. We're working on it," Tate said with more confidence than he felt. Hopefully, at the very least, they'd be able to get the tests scheduled for seventh years.
"Are you game for that duel, or should we try again later?"

"Are you game for that duel, or should we try again later?" "I hope so..." Jake said with slight worry. He needed those NEWT results for the university to let him do what he wanted, come September.
But Tate said they were working on it, so Jake left it at that. He had faith in... whoever.
At the mention of the duel, Jake smiled. "Sure, I'm game," he nodded. This would be so good... and great for practice (and a lesson in humility for him?) if Jake ever decided to enter his first adult duelling contest.

Tate nodded just once before pacing off across the open practice space. He'd taken on a tone of mentor with Sabel's duel, but he wasn't really sure if Upstead would welcome that method.
"Not to be offensive, but how easy should I go on you?" As in... can I knock you out in the first round, or let this go on for a while?

"Uhhh..." he looked thoughtful for a moment. "I haven't duelled in a while..." And even then it was a junior thing. "Probably take it a little light at first and then get harder? Like... like a video game."
Jake was wary about making comparisons to video games in the wizarding world... a lot of the time he just got a blank stare. But it didn't matter... his point was made anywhooooo.

A video... the Muggle thing? Hmm. Tate shrugged in acquiescence and gave a short bow before extending his wand. He had no intention of hurting the lad, nor did he want to embarrass him unduly.
But he wasn't going to make it too easy. That didn't teach him anything.
"Stupefy." There. Nice, strong dueling spell with a number of ways past it.

Bowing back slightly, Jake flexed his hand around his already drawn wand and brought it up as soon as Tate cast, a non-verbal shield charm cast almost subconsciously... it was a lot easier to do non-verbals when quickly reacting... the stuttering thing and stuff.
The stunner deflected, Jake didn't let himself consider what else to do. Instead, he immediately cast back. The young man cast a trip jinx in the man's direction, aiming to do so surreptitiouly and set it up behind the man. He also added a "Relashio," hopefully to force Tate back a little.
It was more to test the waters than anything, and Jake was READY to throw up a shield if he needed to.

Clever one. Jake Upstead MorganFaceWhoever was a clever lad, especially with that sneaky little tripping jinx. Tate blocked the spell cast at him without having to step back, but he made a note to himself that the jinx was in play. It was a good thought, showed planning, and if he was in the mood to prattle, he might offer a suggestion to Jake about how to cast it without being seen.
He bit his tongue and pointed his wand, flicking a silent spiral of strong ropes from the end of his wand. The ropes wound their way across the room in the direction of the young man.

Oh.
OH.
Uh oh.
Jake frantically brought his wand back up, wondering why on EARTH he didn't have a shield ready. His first thought was to shield, but then something else sprang to mind. Probably not smart... but it was an idea.
With a tricky wave of his wand, Jake transfigured the ropes coming at him into a swarm of birds, which seemed to be ANGRY birds, flying at HIM. In panic, Jake yelped 'Oppugno!' and pointed his wand at Tate, sending the birds-that-were-ropes right back. His heart was already racing... the thrill of a duel had come back. It really had been a while. But with the thrill came his over-eagerness and flailing hyperactivity... not the best in a duel.
At least this was FUN.

Tate made the birds explode in a burst of feathers just as they reached his shield. The Protego probably would have repelled them, especially as they were magical birds, but it was much more satisfying to make them poof.
The boy was obviously enjoying himself, which was a nice change to the nerves Dakest had shown during their duel.
He sent a series of blasting charms at the boy's feet, followed by a quick Immobulus.

He sent a series of blasting charms at the boy's feet, followed by a quick Immobulus. Yeah, the birds HAD been a bad idea.
Animal lover Jake had watched as his beautiful avian creations ESSPLODED, and his jaw dropped. Sure, he knew they were only birds created by him yadda yadda yadda... but... awwww.
Mental note not to ever cast that one again sorted, Jake realised that he'd become distracted, and those were SPELLS flying at him.
Giving a high-pitched, girlish 'EEEEEEEEEP!', the young man flailed backwards as the blastng curses hit the floor below him, at he stumble!jumped... somewhere. Perhaps it was only his flailing to the floor that saved him from the Immobulus, a spell you didn't want to get hit with in a duel.
Pushing himself quickly back to his feet (thankful for his athletic stature right here), Jake remembered the trip jinx and he had to think FAST to work something out.
The first thought was fire, but instead...
"Aguamenti!" Jake shouted as he cast, rather than make it a non-verbal. He blast a whole lot of water at Tate, hopefully more or less obscuring him from view, and then the young man sent a non-verbal 'Glisseo', not at the water he'd cast, but at the man's feet, intending for the trip jinx to come into play.

The wave of water was a surprise, mostly because Tate had no earthly idea why anyone would think that getting him wet was a particularly strong mode of attack. Honestly? He wasn't the Wicked Witch of the West, after all. Water wouldn't make him melt.
Tate caught the casting of the next spell, although he missed the actual incantation. It wasn't until the ground went slick beneath his feet that he realized the boy had cleverly used the water as a diversion and the means to his next spell. He would have called a well played, except that his feet shot out from under him and Tate found himself hitting the ground hard on his shoulder and elbow.
His teeth jarred and his wand arm was practically numb, but Tate managed to get off a series of three progressively more angry and ferocious petrification spells from his position on the floor.

His teeth jarred and his wand arm was practically numb, but Tate managed to get off a series of three progressively more angry and ferocious petrification spells from his position on the floor. Wincing as Tate went down, but not regretting his move juuuuust yet, Jake took a half step back and brought up a shield charm again, shielding him from the first spell, but which weakened it. The second one hit and shattered his shield, and Jake felt like a shock went up his left arm, it was so strong.
He hand no time to shield for the final one, so Jake tried to leap out of the way, though as he did the spell glanced him on his leg, making him spin in the air and hit the deck hard... though his use of arms were still with him.
It was odd. His leg was stuck being stiff as a board, and the rest of his body felt like it did the morning after a long workout. He wasn't sure if he'd rather have had the entire effects of the spell.
"Woah... I-" concede "... can't seem to be able to move. I think I..." Give up? After that short amount of time? Probably, but Jake didn't have it in him to say it.

Tate cast a last Expelliarmus before falling back on his good elbow in relief. He suspected Jake was down for the count, although it was hard to say, and he just wanted to go to the Infirmary and have her relieve the pain in his arm. If he didn't know better, he'd suspect he had dislocated his shoulder when he landed.
And if Jake wanted to keep fighting... well. Then perhaps Tate could call up some last reserves.

Andddddd now he had no wand. That flew out of his hand with the last spell, proving that Jake's body wasn't going to allow him the reflexes to throw up a shield charm.
"Fantastic," the young man called over from where he sat/lay, before starting the struggle to get to his feet. Then he could go get his wand and undo this spell on him.
Even though what he said may have been sarcastic had it been another person in his situation, when Jake said it there was a hint of... actually finding the whole thing to be perfect. Plus he was on his feet... somewhat. Now he was up, he was smiling. Jake didn't REALISE Tate was injured. He threw up his hands in defeat. "I surrender?"

"Well done. Some very good ideas in there, and everything was executed perfectly," Tate struggled to his feet with one arm, keeping his wand arm tucked against his chest as casually as possible.
"Good fight," he clapped the boy on the shoulder in lieu of a handshake. "I hope you realize how well you did instead of focusing on the slip ups. You learned as you went, which is admirable."

"Can always be better... but you know, it's these opportunities that help that and all," Jake smiled, as he reached his wand and undid the spell that was currently turning his leg into a statue of its own. Now see, THAT was much better. Jake stretched his leg out underneath him a few times. His body still felt stiff but he was sure that would go away.
"Thank you sir," he smiled at the Headmaster. "For the opportunity as well. Kind of an awesome way to end my time here." Jake hadn't noticed the arm thang at all, and didn't now. "It was great." You know. The duel. And kind of the time at Hogwarts... kiiiiind of. So, hyup.

"You're welcome. It was my pleasure," Tate gave the boy a nod again for good measure. "You should consider a career in law enforcement. I say that a lot, but the world could someone who is interested in protecting the underdog." He left it unsaid that since Jake had experienced life as an underdog, he was particularly suited.
"You should probably run along and wrap up whatever you have left before the term ends. I would hate for you to lose that chance."

"You should probably run along and wrap up whatever you have left before the term ends. I would hate for you to lose that chance." Jake thought about that for a moment. There was a time where he'd have recoiled from that idea but now... maybe. Maybe.
"We'll see. I haven't decided on a university course yet... I'll look into it." And he meant it too: the future was not something he'd really planned on.
Oh... OH. That was true. EEP. Jake smiled at the Headmaster again and nodded. "Right you are," he nodded, heading towards the door. He reached it, stopped, and looked over his shoulder. "Thank you," Jake repeated once more.
Then he left.
