As she waited for class to begin, Lily shifted on her pillow/seat/mat/thingies while setting up her notes. When class finally started, the fourth year tried her best to take good notes, only pausing now and again to listen to her classmates voice their opinions on what dueling truly was. Only once she felt that her notes were decent did the redhead raise her hand. "Dueling is somewhat like sparing in what muggles call karate. The goal is to score points, or in some cases defeat the person whom they are competing with. Only in dueling, the two people don't typically come into contact with each other." Unlike when she and her little brother sparred each other.

Speaking of dueling, was that why the new astronomy professor was in the classroom? Had Professor Romanos had a duel with the professor and gotten him with a spell or something?
