But would you look at the time?

"That's it for today!" The Headmaster clapped his hands to get everyone's attention. "Back behind the lines, gather your things, that's enough sparring for today." He would make no comments about those who'd lost or managed to keep their wands in the mean time. No comment about the physical attack on the dummy, either. Nope. It was over.

"Homework." They didn't honestly think they'd be getting out without any, did they? "Chapter 3 of The Essential Defence Against the Dark Arts, there will be a quiz. Oh! Before I forget, stop by the noticeboard outside the arena if you're interested in signing up for the dueling club this year. There will be a sign up sheet available and a duel later on."

Just...in case this hadn't soured some of them off the idea of dueling.

"Once you've collected your things, you're free to go." And he would go have a word with Fuller-Thompson.

Ugh.

Once both she and the dummy had bowed to one another, the predictable and completely insane rapid fire spellwork started again. "Protego!" the first year called out. About the time the shield was cast, though, the professor decided it was time to wrap things up. With a second stumble back behind the line, the fight was over. Had it gone on a second or two longer, she knew the dummy would have had her wand. No way was she skilled enough to defeat the rapid fire it kept casting.

Of course there was homework. Isla made a mental note of it as she gathered all her things. No thanks for the dueling club. She'd learned a lot today, but the main take-away had been that she had a lot to learn before she threw herself into anymore duels. "Thanks, Professor," she said, on her way out the door. "Have a good rest of the day!"
