Regardless of the chilly weather during the winter season and the cool stone colored tones of the room, the dueling arena was comfortably warm. The arena itself would perhaps look different to some of the older students if they were able to get a look at it in the past. The dueling platform, target dummies, and even the stands were moved around in different locations, pushed to the side mostly, leaving a nice big empty space in the middle of the room. In that space were the familiar deep purple colored mats from the previous lesson lined up accordingly, including the deep red colored mat up at the front in-between the stands where Professor Romanos was currently seated, and in front of each purple mat was something that looked like a miniature tray. There won't be any food during the lesson unfortunately, but these trays will be acting as your desks. Unlike the last lesson, the room is illuminated and practically glowing from the winter sunlight streaming through the windows, giving the area a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Perhaps even make a few sleepy, but never fear. There will be no time to sleep during this class. And do ignore the added doorway in the back of the room. As strange as it's placement is, no one is allowed back there.
OOC: Please come in and take a seat on one of the mats [and be familiar with the rules and expectations]. The lesson will begin in about 12 18 hours or so.
Class has officially begun! Please don't post arriving late. Jump in as if your character has been here the entire time.
Final Task
Use of the Disarming and Shield Charms ONLY.
1st - 4th Years = No sense of SOUND
5th - 7th Years = No sense of SIGHT. You are all blindfolded.
It is alright to be disoriented and not get things right on the first couple of tries. Perhaps your aim is off or you can't say the spell correctly because you can't hear yourself speak. No one is perfect. It is okay. The Professor will be keeping a close eye on things, so please, no fatal injuries. And perhaps no drastic damage to the arena either. It's rather sturdy.
I'll give you a few days to RP, and we'll come to a close on things around the 13th.

"Alright," he nodded. The snake took an offensive stance, pointing his wand at her and frowned...trying to act like the big bad wolf. Was that good enough?
RAAAWWRR!
"Um, thanks," she said with a small bow. Kennedy would make a terrible Death Eater - if those sort of people ever came back. Kurumi bit on her bottom lip to try and suppress the giggles that were threatening to come out when she saw his facial expression. Well...at least he was trying, right? This was much better than him just standing there like a rag doll. Kurumi shook her head and rolled her shoulders, performing the wand movement twice more to make sure she had fluidity and all that figured out before casting.
"Expelliarmus!" she chirped as she performed a sharp d-shaped movement and watched her spell shoot towards the Slytherin prefect.

VLIM-eeh-uh. Vlimia. She smiled as she recalled how many times people had read her name and mispronounced it. VLIME-ee-uh... VLIM-eye-uh... VLIM-eeh-ah. That was three too many people.

Raven was ready with her wand, pointing to her partner, she casted the disarming charm.
"Expelliarmus!" She said the incantation loudly.

Yeah, he was scary now.
Frowning and trying to look mean. He'd make a great villain. Meh.
The fifth year was too busy in his acting that he didn't notice when Kurumi cast the spell and was taken by surprise when he looked up and it was just inches away from hitting him. His wand flew out of his grasp and into the air. He waited to hear a clatter of his wand hitting the ground, but it never came.
Hmm...where was his wand?
He looked around the ground and rubbed the back of his neck. Where'd it land? Kennedy was oblivious to the fact that his wand had landed in the center of his massive curly fro.
The wand proudly stuck out of his hair like an arrow.

Ooops...Kurumi thought that Kennedy had been ready for her spell, but judging from his slightly deer in headlights expression, he hadn't been as aware as he had let on. Perhaps he was trying to get more into character? He really should just give it up because he would make a terrible villain. How very Hufflepuff of him!
Kurumi watched as his wand flew out of his hand and...oh...hehehe. Now Kurumi couldn't help but giggle as the wand nestled himself in the mass of messy curls on his head, sticking up straight like an antenna trying to get radio reception. "Your wand is um...in your hair," Kurumi said as she walked over, deciding to take it out for him when...
o____________O
"Um...."
Somehow, the Slytherin's wand had got all tangled up so bad that the Gryffindor fear they were going to have to...cut it out.

If he noticed the still-close proximity to the professor, he didn't make any reaction to it but he couldn't avoid noticing the remaining nerves of his companion.
Was there a way he could help?
"If you want me to," he answered willing to do whatever it was that they both wanted and he was pretty open-minded about their order himself. "Then ye should probably take a sort of offensive stance," he suggested briefly demonstrating. And then he returned to a straight stance so he could be ready for his own part to play. His hand reaching into his pocket for his wand once more.
"And relax...its just a class not a real duel and neither of us is going to do anything that will get us hurt," he added to try and get him to calm down.
Offensive stance. Right. Vickers tried to mimic what Gideon was trying to do. He felt awkward, given that it was the first time he's done any kind of stance-- offensive or defensive. He shifted his legs a bit then gripped his wand. "O-Okay." Did he feel less nervous? Yes, but only because now he's distracted with trying to keep from falling over.

Why was she giggling? Had he done something? Kennedy's eyes looked up as if he'd be able to see the wand. He blushed at the situation and when Kurumi walked to him he raised his eyebrows.
His wand was really in his hair, wasn't it?
"What?" he said, slightly worried. Was his wand okay? Then he tugged at the wand and...Ouch. It was tangled. He tried to tug it out and he winced. This was just great. "Just pull it out quickly," he urged her. Before anyone else saw in what predicament he had gotten himself in.

Because well..she just wasn't that familiar with it. "I promise I won't be a burden," Beezus added as she put her hands together. If Sky knew how to do the spell properly, then the Ravenclaw would need to get a move on.
Well, okay then… Sky herself believed in just winging it, but she realized that not everyone believed that. "That's fine with me, not a burden at all." she said casually, twirling her wand between her fingers. It did irritate her a little because, well what if the teacher decided to move along without them? But whatever…

"Expelliarmus. Oh and by the way I think we're only supposed to be working on expelliarmus." Nate said.
"Professor said something about the other spell as well." She said with a shrugh and picked up her wand,"expelliarmus." She said while pointing at his wand.
"Oh ok. Protego." Nate waited a few moments. Then he said "Expelliarmus." He was getting ready for her next spell. This was going to be an easy lesson.

Just...pull it out quickly?! Kennedy really didn't know what he was asking... "But...it's...really stuck...really REALLY stuck," Kurumi murmured, tugging on the wand a bit more. She chewed on her bottom lip for several moments and glanced around the dueling area. Everyone seemed to be rather distracted by their own spellcasting to really notice the pair of them.
"Kennedy...we might need to cut it out..."

"Ready", Alex said. She wasn't really ready, but she guessed that she was as ready as she'd ever be. "Give it a go."
"Alright, here I go." Silvia waved her wand as had been demonstrated by the professor. "Expelliarmus!" Nothing seemed to happen. She tried again. "Expelliarmus!" she said. "Well, I didn't really expect it to work on the first time anyway. It'll probably take a few tries to get it right. Maybe you should give it a try now."

Silvia turned around when she heard the other girl speak. "Oh, hi. I'm Silvia. Do you still not have a partner? You can join Alex and I if you want, and we can take turns."

Nate was about to say protego but before he knew it his wand went flying out of his hand. Then he just stared at her in amazement. "Good shot." After Nate said that Nate went to retrieve his wand. He picked it up from the corner that it was in and ran over to where he was standing before. Nate did the motion and with some emphasis he said "Expelliarmus." Hopefully this would work Nate tjought in his head.

He felt her tug it and he winced. He wanted it out.
OUT!
It was REALLY stuck? Kennedy slumped his shoulders. He should have accepted Selena's offer to cut his hair. Gaaah! "Oh gosh," he said, shutting his eyes. This was going to be so embarrassing. Like hide his face with a paper bag embarrassing.
"If there's no other choice," he said, opening his eyes and looking at her. "Go ahead." She wouldn't leave him bald, right?

Thankfully this time he was prepared. "Protego." He waited a few moments to cast expelliarmus. Then after that he said "Expelliarmus." While pointing his wand at her wand.

He saw Minnie grasping her wand tghtly trying to hold it from his spell, but no matter how hard she tried to hold on to it it was not to be and out cam eher wand from her hand. Justin stood there smiling and giggling at Minerva's pretty little face.
Minerva tried hard not to lose her wand this time, but she knew it would happen. When her wand left her hand again she smiled "good job Justin." she then went over to pick her wand back up. As she got her wand she snapped back up facing Justin. My turn she thought and traced a d with her wand "Expelliarmus" she watched as his wand was hit by the spell.
"I know right. We should continue though until she says-. Expelliarmus." Nate was trying to trick her into thinking he was going to finish the sentence, but instead did the spell.
