| | |  Defence Training Room
 Anyone who knows Hirsch wouldn't be surprised to find such a room up. Right next to the Dueling Arena is a room that's purely for those wishing to practice their self-defence techniques. After all, defending yourself doesn't just stop short at using a wand to do so.
The Defence Training Room looks pretty much like any other training room. Mats can be found on the floor, which should make it easier to crash land on, should you be unfortunate to do so. Need more, and slightly more cushioned, mats? Others can be found towards the back of the room. Running along part of the left wall are a series of boxing bags. While boxing is permitted in here, NO ONE is allowed to practice on another person. Please use the boxing bags provided.
Other, slightly smaller, items can be found here as well: such as weights and ropes and even dummies. The dummies are particularly useful for those who want to practice more Oriental types of self-defence. Or even those who want to practice their kicks and punches. However, do be careful of the ones that like to fight back.
Something that's not permitted in here? Magic.
OOC: Please make sure to comply with the SS and the School RPG Rules. Think of this room like a sort of gym. No outright action-movie fighting with another charrie please <3 | |

Punch, punch, punch......
Deep breaths.
Punch, punch.......
Being one of his hobbies, Hirsch spent quite a bit of his time in here, boxing. There was no set time to him being here since he usually liked to come when students weren't hanging around the place. He had nothing against them, and usually encouraged them to build up heir combative defence skills, but seeing your Professor boxing wasn't......... appropriate?
Especially with the gear he was in.
Today, the Defence Professor had actually opted to wear a shirt for his daily exercise routine. Decked out in a vest shirt and shorts, he threw a few more punches at the boxing bag he was working on before stopping to catch up with his breath again. There was sweat on his forehead and his biceps looked shinier than they normally would have done. Taking a glove off, he used his free hand to run it though his hair,making it stick up a little more than it usually did.
Deep breaths.

Regina, though no one ever actually saw her there, was one to make frequent use of Hirsch's training room. Usually her visits to the room were either early in the morning before most students were even awake or late at night when it was past curfew. Today was one of those times in which the headmistress took advantage of there being no students wandering about, besides the prefects doing their rounds, and made her way from her office to the Defence wing.
Wearing a cranberry racerback tank top and black cropped leggings, the woman snuck through the door and began putting her hair and a tight ponytail. It was then she heard a series of punches and heavy breathing. For a split second she thought about turning on her heel and returning to her office unnoticed, but curiosity got the better of her. She was already mentally preparing to berate a student for being out of bed after hours. Approaching the source of the sounds, she opened her mouth to speak...
Oh.
She had arrived just in time to see the backside of the Defence professor as he removed a boxing glove from his hand so he could slick back his hair. Without saying a word, the headmistress simply stood there, taking in everything from his disheveled hair to his shiny biceps to the shorts he was wearing.
Before he could notice her standing there watching him, Regina let out a quiet cough and turned to face the mirror. "Hello, Roderik," she said as she began stretching.

Noelle needed a stress reliever. She was so wound up with everything going on that she was a ball of nerves. She knew the only thing that would help was Noah, which... she was having a hard time seeing lately due to the lockdown. So...
Noelle was going to take an hour out to herself.
Heading to the defense room, she dropped her back and took off her cloak. She rolled her sleeves up and pulled her hair into a messy bun. She needed to wrap her knuckles. Something that Hirsch had taught her, but she didn't have the time. She needed to punch something.
Without wrapping her knuckles, she punched at the punching bag. An instant satisfaction running through her. She sighed as she felt an ounce of relief.
Punch
Punch
Punch
With each punch, she felt slightly better. She needed this.

With each punch, she felt slightly better. She needed this. It wasn't often Skylar felt stressed, but given the current castle situation and the fact that it seemed as if no one wanted to DO anything about the portal, except 'talk about it', while it was still there with the potential to suck anyone up, well, Skylar felt helpless.
And upon making her way upstairs, she happened upon this lovely room set up by Professor Hirsch and was quite enamored by what was within, which took awhile for her to go over to find a punching bag because she just stood in awe.
Slipping off her cloak and pulling her hair back into a ponytail, she started toward one of the punching bags when she spotted Noelle. Oh good, now she couldn't get in trouble for meandering off by herself, because a Prefect was here. Another stupid rule in place, because it wasn't as if the prefect could shield them if they BOTH got sucked up by a magically appearing portal. Heck, one could appear RIGHT now and suck herself and Noelle up, and there was nothing they could do. But at least it was just Noelle and Noelle was different, if nothing more than she was practically a Diggory already.
"Hi Noelle," Sky murmured setting her things off to the side.

Hirsch lived off of the idea of being constantly vigilant and frequently mentioned it during his lessons but this was an instant where he wasn't vigilant at all. Why? Because as soon as he was done with the hair, he started examining his biceps in the mirror. It was probably another reason why he opted to use this room when there weren't students - or anyone else - using it as well. He hardly heard the door opening and didn't notice someone entering the room until said person was in the range of the mirror itself.
............
Uh.
The Defence Professor quickly stopped flexing his bicep and tried to look as casually as possible towards the newcomer. He probably wouldn't have minded if Viktor was the one who'd seen him, even if the Ancient Runes Professor would've teased him mercilessly. But the Headmistress? A hot Headmistress? Talk about bad luck.
"Regina!" he said, slightly taken aback, "I, uh, didn't know you used this room as well." And yet, here she was.
Stretching.

Talk about bad luck.
"Regina!" he said, slightly taken aback, "I, uh, didn't know you used this room as well." And yet, here she was.
Stretching. She didn't quite know what to think about the sight of the man flexing and thoroughly examining his biceps. Or, at least, she didn't have any external comments to make about it. Though it was just the two of them in the room, Regina was certain that it wouldn't have been proper of her to comment on his muscles. So, instead, she just focused her attention to her reflection on the mirror, while making a few occasional glances at the professor. She was one to always be vigilant, after all.
A small smirk did grow on her lips when Roderik spoke. She knew that she had caught him off guard, which was a little ironic considering his position on staff. Nonetheless, she made no comment about that. She just continued with her stretching, starting with tight core rotations and then transitioning to yoga plexes. Just as she reached her right arm up toward the ceiling, the headmistress then spoke, "You have a nice set-up here, so it is only logical to take advantage of it." She had to keep all the hard physical work she had done as a curse-breaker and Defence professor intact.
Flashed his way was a genuine smile. She hesitated for a moment, arm still in the air, to get another look at him, taking advantage of that too.
"Hopefully my unexpected appearance here didn't throw you off," the woman said, standing up for a moment before deciding to dive into a set of lunges. After a few deep breaths, she moved one leg forward with her knee bent, certain muscle groups already working on strengthening and sculpting themselves. Looking in the mirror once more, she quickly added, "Feel free to carry on."

"Hi Noelle," Sky murmured setting her things off to the side. Jab Jab
The stress was slowly rolling off of Noelle's shoulders and her mind was clearing. But as her mind cleared, her punched became more accurate. Her mind shifted and she began to think about the Dungeon Days. The time she spent there. The punches became heavier, more direct.
Her un-bandaged knuckled began to hurt but she didn't feel them because her mind was elsewhere.
It wasn't until a voice said " Hi Noelle" Before she was jerked back into the real world.
Noelle took a deep breath, clearing her mind and slowing her adrenaline down. She was already sweaty as she turned to say hey back to... Skylar. The girl got a welcome smile back. " Hey Sky. What you up to?" She asked, not questioning why she was by herself. She was here with her now anyways.

Noelle took a deep breath, clearing her mind and slowing her adrenaline down. She was already sweaty as she turned to say hey back to... Skylar. The girl got a welcome smile back. "Hey Sky. What you up to?" She asked, not questioning why she was by herself. She was here with her now anyways. It seemed as if it took awhile for Noelle to realize someone had even said something to her, and Skylar had to admire the older girl for such dedication and focus. What was she up to? See this why Sky liked Noelle, because the girl didn't question her motives or breaking the ground rule of wandering off here by herself, which wasn't that far from her common room.
"Just ... frustrated," Sky said feeling the need to be honest and open with gryffindor. "And helpless ... very helpless." She nodded, diverting her attention now on the punching bag, to which she threw her fist at it and then the other one. Despite the fact that she might not have been very strong and her punches had little impact on the weighted bag, she had to admit it did feel good. Even if punching this heavy bag still made her feel helpless that it didn't move a whole lot.
"What about you?" She added, glancing over curiously.

"What about you?" She added, glancing over curiously. Sky was practically family. Noelle heard so much about her from Noah on a daily basis, it was like they were always seeing each other. Noah was very fond of his sister.
Noelle stepped away from her bag, calming her breathing and then going over to her bag to grab her tape. She should have taped her knuckles before she started training like Hirsch taught her, but she'd been too anxious to punch something. " Helpless. That's about right." Noelle said sighing as she stood again and examined her badly reddened knuckles. " let me tape your knuckles first before you hit too hard." She told Sky as she started to tape her own knuckles first.
" Came to clear my mind. Sometimes its best to punch or kick something." She noted. Even though sometimes, it worked the opposite and you got locked into your thoughts. The good news was you had an outlet to punch through it.
