This was one of Dora's favorite places aside from the Room of Requirement. MHM! Having donned sweats and trainers she made her way down to beat the crud out of some dummies. Or just do some light training. WHATEVER. Seeing as it was SCOTLAND and it was RAINING she was unable to go for her morning run... and her Uncle Sabel would have been upset if she hadn't done something to work off some of her energy!

Marching into the room she immediately dropped the bag in her hands and made her way to one of the punching bags. Getting into her stance she then began to punch in a specific rhythm, one hand after the other... striking in different places on the bag in turn. It wasn't long before the blonde had started to sweat, but a smile was in place, concentration clear. Merlin forbid anyone interrupt her when she was in this state of mind!

Daxton was the kind of person with a lot of aggression, as was showcased in one memorable Defence Against the Dark Arts lesson last term, and so a room like this was perfect for him. As it was, however, Daxton had not wanted to come anywhere near the Defence classroom in case he ran into Hirsch.

Whom he hated.

A lot.

And did not trust.

At all.

But the desire to punch the snot out of one of the practice dummies had won over, and so here Daxton was. He likely would not be able to keep up any sort of activity level for long, given a total lack of stamina for a whole multitude of reasons, but he intended to work off some of that omnipresent rage that always seemed to be rearing its head these days.

Someone was already here, though. Daxton, realising this, had been about to make a quick exit before he could be noticed, before seeing exactly who it was. Instead he paused, and entered the training room too, but did not greet his Gryffindor... ally.

Compared to Dora, he was by no means prepared for any sort of workout, dressed in the school shirt and trousers of his uniform, but that did not stop Daxton from approaching one of the dummies and immediately launching a full force kick at the stupid thing.

She had heard of the defence training room before. Had actually seen it when she was looking for the classroom and had opened up the wrong door in her first week at Hogwarts. However, with the classes and homework they had gotten and trying to keep a social life as well, Rebecca had not paid this room any attention until now.

It was purely by accident that she had wandered in to the room, having been lost in her thoughts well she walked around happened to often yet it did brought her to places she hardly went. Which was a good thing she supposed because she liked finding out new things.

The Gryffindor took in her surroundings. She noted the mats on the floor, probably squishy ……she jumped in it to test them. Yup , squishy. Next thing, apart from the boxing bags because those were certainly not hard to miss, she noticed some smaller items such as weights and ropes. The girl grabbed a weight and tried to lift it. When she failed to do so she let go of it and grumbled under her breath.

The boxing bags looked like they were easy to handle though. She walked over to one of them near the middle and looked around to see if anyone was watching. And then, with her fist held completely wrong she punched the bag to test it only to let out a cry of pain a second later. Blowing on her knuckles because those bags were harder than she had thought. Or maybe she just punched wrongly….

“Ow ow owowow”

Kat had heard of this room, Noelle had told about it. That's why she was here. Noelle had asked her to come join her. She had always wanted to come and try training in here. She was trilled that her friend invited her.

She grabbed her wand and her Dada book. You never know, when she might need it. She headed into the training room. Looking around for Noelle who was not there yet. So the blonde sat down and opened her book and flipped though it as she wanted for her friend.

She was running late.

Noelle HATED running late. She was never late so it threw her off. Now she was running down the corridors, pushing past people to get here. Finally she arrived.

Noelle took a look around the training room and grinned when she saw Kat already there. She was a little breathless, so she waved first before taking a deep breath. "Hey!" Noelle dropped her book sack on the bench and pulled her wand from its holster.

"Sorry I was running a little late. Noah and I were looking up some stuff in the library." Noelle didn't have a plan for today. She figured they could see where the practice led them.

Wait. this was physical training room? Even better. She slammed the book shut. Whelp won't need that. She stuffed it back in her bag.

Katerina looked up to see Noelle just as she was heading in. A smile formed on her face. "Hey." She beamed Noelle was one of her favorite third years. Well other than Phillip. But she had to like him.

She was with Noah in the library. Was that a date? maybe this dating thing wasn't what it was cracked up to be. Library dates sounded so boring. "No its fine. I'm free all day." No dates or anything like that. Or not yet Anyway... "So should we get started?" What did they do to get started?

Physical training room. Mats included.

Noelle waved and smiled back at Kat. She was a cute one, this one. She loved the girl tak they had but now that Kat wanted Noelle to teach her a few things, she was even more impressed with her.

Not a date. Just... Looking up some information about a certain subject. Ahem. Top secret business going on.

But anyways..... "Yes! Let's start. What did you want to learn first?" Hopefully it wasn't offensive because she needed help with that herself. Professor Hirsch was training her right now and helping with the offensive spells. And hopefully it was something she knew. She was only a third year, after all.

Thinking of Henric, she rounded on one of the dummies. "Okay first thing you want to do though. Is clear your mind and emotions. Take a deep breath in and out." Kat probably already knew that. Especially if she was in the dueling club... But you never knew.. Right?
