The Dueling Arena is a large, open spaced room with numerous raised platforms for you to practice your wand work and hone your dueling skills. Challenge a friend or practice on your own with the number of dummies placed in the room. Please read the rules below, understand them and abide by them.

RULES

1. Under no circumstances are Unforgiveable Curses to be used or any spell that will cause permanent damage to an opponent (eg. Sectumsempra, Fiendfyre etc).

2. Please do not RP intent for your opponent, an example of this is shown below;

Plymouth pointed his wand at Copernicus and shouted the incantation, "Stupefy." There was a flash of light and it hit Copernicus in the chest and he fell to the floor unconscious. (Please refrain from doing this, otherwise I will be forced to delete your post).

A better option is shown below;

Plymouth pointed his wand at Copernicus and shouted the incantation, "Stupefy." There was a flash of light, heading in Copernicus' direction. (This gives Copernicus an opportunity to either block the spell or move out of the way or if he is so inclined to let his brother stun him, then he could take the fall ).

3. If you intend to show a little creativity and make up your own spells, which I don't mind so long as you leave an ooc comment at the end of your post describing what the spell is and what it does. (Please keep it as real as possible thank you).

4. Please show respect to the other dueler's in the arena.

5. And most of all have fun! Creativity is always appreciated.

Professor Lawson will be popping into the arena, quite often to see how his students are fairing and will be quite happy to offer any assistance.

ooc: One small favor I ask. Please try and keep it as canon as possible. I don't expect any first year to pull off amazing dueling skills.

Ready or not, here I come!" she said, giving him a playful smile. She moved to the far end of one side of the arena and assumed the dueling stance. Her wand raised and ready, she waited for Fyo to do the same.

Oooh, there she was! Fyo had been waiting for her for a few minutes, now. He waved back at LouAnn, then grinned. It was funny, how they were about to... throw a bunch of spells at each other. But good intentions meant general goodness, right? Or something of that sort.

"Ready, madam," he said with a smile, as he took up THE PROPER position for a duel, too. He had never done this before. At least, not in such a... formal way. That wasn't such a good thing, was it?

When Fyo finally assumed the proper stance, LouAnn decided it would be best to not waste a single second. She thought that if she did, Fyo just might get the best of her and disarm her before they had even gotten good and started! With a nice flick of her wrist, she called out, "Incarcerous!" Within seconds, ropes sprung from her wand and headed right towards Fyo. LouAnn couldn't help but do an excited little squeal and jump as she craned her next to see if Fyo would fall for the spell.

Eeep! Bad Fyo, bad! He should have been quicker, and acted before her. Fyo's eyes widened a bit as ropes pretty much sprang from LouAnn's wand, and headed his way! "Protego!" he cried, and a shield erupted from the tip of his wand. At once, the spell rebounded.

Her own spell at her.

BAAAAD.

As LouAnn continued to crane her neck, she suddenly became aware that the ropes she'd just casted were coming right back at her! "Merlin Me!" she cried out, flailing about as she tried to figure out what to do. She could cast the Shield Charm, but then this duel would be like a tennis match with the same set of ropes bouncing back and forth.

So what now? Having no extra time to think, LouAnn simply dove to the ground and crawled away, letting the ropes collapse to the ground beside her. "Evanesco!" she said, pointing her wand directly at them. After they'd vanished into the land of nothingness, she turned her wand back to Fyo, made a small Z movement, and called out, "Duro!"

It was stunning, how quick LouAnn could be. Two spells in a matter of seconds... very nice. But the admiration cost him some very dear moments and, even though he tried to duck the incoming jet of light, it caught his arm - his wand arm - and, before he knew it, it was beginning to harden, beginning to... *gasp* TURN INTO STOONNE!

"Nuu!" He flailed out a little, then acted on a whim: with the speed of light, he transferred his wand to his other hand, and yelled, "Expelliarmus!" Then he pointed his wand to his other arm. "Finite Incantatem!"

Help, help, help, STOOONE!

Well, darn! LouAnn had been sure this spell would get Fyo! She frowned when she saw it only grazed past one arm---his wand arm, at least. He was a quick thinker, though, and thought to move his wand to his other hand before it, too, got caught in the stone. Moments later, he was back to normal...or so she though. He'd just casted Finite Incantatem.

When her wand jerked from her hand, LouAnn gasped then flailed about a little. She dove forward and caught it just time. It drug her across the arena a little, but when she was finally stopped, she raised her wand and moved it in a small Z movement. "Duro!" Maybe she could get it right this time.

When she tried to get back up off the floor, though, she somehow got off balance and rolled off the arena. If she wasted much time, Fyo would surely get her! Thinking fast, she scurried behind a nearby suit of armor.

Nuuu! Fyo was ready this time, because he DID not want his arm to turn into stone again. He pretty much yelped "Protego" but, in his haste, his spell did not work properly, and the jet of light refused to bounce back. Within moments, he could feel the front of his shirt beginning to harden. *MEGA gasp* He did NOT like stone!Fyo.

At all.

"Confringo!" He yelled, trying to cast a spell before the rest of his shirt began to turn into the BAD stonestuffie. His spell shot for the suit of armour behind which LouAnn had taken refuge and, in the meanwhile, he watched his shirt harden a bit more. Time for Finite Incantatem again.

"Protego!" LouAnn called out, protecting herself from the spell with a small upward flick of her wand. When the armor she was hiding behind exploded, though, LouAnn yelled out "Merlin Me!" then scrambled back onto the arena floor. "You nearly confringo'ed me!" She shot a playful smile towards Fyo, but a second later she was ready to cast again. Confringo was out of the question...unless she wanted Fyo to explode (which she didn't). So maybe..."Expelliarmus!" That was the only thing she could think of that she really hadn't tried. She watched Fyo carefully, waiting for any sign that her spell had worked.

Eeep, the Disarming spell! That was a REAL dangerous one. "Nuuu," Fyo said, making a very hazy duck for it. His knees grazed the floor, but the spell hit a wall behind him, and was of no use. Yayiee!

"Duro!" He cried, making a small 'Z' movement in the air as he cast the spell. But his wand was pointed only at her wand arm -- he didn't want to turn the whole of her to stone. This was, after all, about creative ways to defeat your opponent. It was, wasn't it? Besides, stone was BAD. But still, just in case she decided to, say, make his spell bounce back at him ....

*DUCK!*

Yush, Fyo ducked in advance, sliding to a halt behind a neat suit of armour. This was better, wasn't it? Now he could wait for her next move without THE FEAR OF STOOONE! Or something like that.

With an irritated look on her face, LouAnn watched as her spell hit the wall just behind Fyo. Darn! He'd blocked it again! Not only had he blocked her spell, but he'd also come right back with a nice duro...one aimed directly at her arm! She knew this, because a second later her left arm turned completely to stone. Ewww...it looked gross that way!

At least it was her left arm, though! "Finite Incantatem!" she called out, flicking her wand towards the stone arm. Shortly afterwards, she was back to normal and able to cast. Where in Merlin's name was Fyo, though? Had he took off running back to the common room? Surely not, as no one could make a getaway that fast!

Spotting a nearby suit of armor, LouAnn decided to take her chances on Fyo being behind it. "Confringo!" she exclaimed, her wand pointed right at the armor. "Hey, Fyo...wherever you are? Wanna call this one a draw?"

YUSH! No more stone. But waiiit... Confringo was no better! Fyo jumped to his feet and sprang away, just in time to see the suit of armour explode behind him. Whoa, that had been close.

"Here I am," he said, lowering his wand and waving to her as he heard her words. A draw sounded nice enough - both of them had done pretty good - he , in fact, better than he had expected to.

"Definitely," he said, with a nod, as he stepped over to her and shook hands with her. Because, according to his mother, you were supposed to do that after a friendly duel - it showed there were no hard feelings, etiquette-type stuff like that. "This was fun - you're a good duelling artist."

He was hungry.

For a moment after the explosion, LouAnn was a little afraid that she'd accidentally seriously hurt Fyo. With a fearful look on her face, LouAnn paced back and forth a few times while she considered what would happen if Fyo was indeed really good and confringo'ed. "Fyoooo! Fyo, are you out there somewhere?!?!" she called out, her brown eyes searching the room. Oh, Merlin! He was really gone!

Just when LouAnn was about to panic and run for help, Fyp spoke up. "Fyo! Fyo, you're here!" she exclaimed, running for the boy and nearly tackling him in an attempt to hug him. "Fyo, I thought you were gone! Confringo'ed forever!" She was glad to hear Fyo was ready to call it quits, too. That last spell had nearly done her in. "You're pretty awesome yourself. I think I need a nap after that last spell, though. I'll see ya around! Thanks, Fyo!" LouAnn headed out the dueling arena, glad that little duel was all said and done.

Sure, hiding out in the duelling arena was pretty risky, and Jake was likely to have found a better place to hide in the forbidden forest. But if he was there, he'd blatantly be up to something... in here he could say he was practicing magic. Unless he was found in his ACTUAL hiding place.

The boy had gotten away with hiding out in here for the past few weeks, mainly beneath the platforms, which actually had a hollow space underneath them, small enough for someone the size of Jake to fit into. Cramped... but workable.

And that was where Jake lay now, having kicked away some wood panelling and replacing it carefully once he was hidden inside, all when nobody had been looking his way (or so he hoped).

Because who would look for the child that refused to do magic... in the duelling arena. Unless they knew his bluff.

Walking into the dueling arena with Tiberius by his side, Marcus scanned the room with his eyes but there was not a person in sight and definitely no Jake. He sighed deeply, it was a crazy thought to think that the boy would actually be in here.

Turning back towards the door, Marcus was all set to leave and go hunt him down elsewhere when something made him stop. He didn't know what it was but he just had a weird feeling. He raised his wand and swept it over the room, "Homenum Revelio" he muttered. A spot underneath one of the platforms quivered slightly and Marcus lowered his wand.

"I know you're there Jake."

AmbiguouslyMe · 12-01-2009, 11:42 PM

Tibi held his breath as they entered the dueling arena, but he expelled it sadly when they didn't see anyone.

He turned to leave after Lawson, but nearly ran into him as he stopped.

Jake was here? Tibi's heart raced. What would he say? Would he be able to say anything?

His eyes wide, he opened his mouth to say something to his friend... but no words came.

It was basically common knowledge that Jake could not do magic. Right? Right.

However.

How-ev-ah.

That did NOT stop the boy from knowing certain advanced theory, no matter how basic his understanding was. He heard the two males enter the room... knew who they were... kept silent. Dead silent. And then heard the vpice, clear as day, even though it was muttered, say the spell that outed him.

Even though he knew he was caught, Jake remained silent still. Did not move. Did not breath. He did, however, grip the handle of his wand tightly in his hand.

He should have known that it wasn't going to be easy. Marcus, raised his wand again starting to lose a little patience with Jake. He blasted apart the platform that Jake was hiding underneath.

Striding over to the mess he had just caused, Lawson stood over the boy and looked down at him. He flicked his wand and 'accioed' the boy's wand out of his hand. See how the kid liked being unarmed just as he had been that night.

"I know what you did" Marcus said quietly still looking down at Jake, with the two wands raised in hand. So many emotions flashed across his face, sadness, a flicker of anger, betrayal but mostly sadness. The hurt that Marcus, was feeling could not even be put into words. He wasn't even sure what to do now that he had found Jake. Marcus, stepped back from the boy and said just one word.

"Why?"

Blowing the platform apart had, in Jake's mind, been a dirty trick. The boy flinched and curled himself up tight so he wasn't hit with any flying debris. And then suddenly, he didn't have a wand, and Lawson was towering over him, Tibi standing all the way back by the door.

There was only one emotion in Jake's eyes face and body language. Fear. Absolute and total fear. Fear of what had happened, what would happen, what might happen, what was happening, what would never happen and the results of what had happened because of him.

Unable to find the words, Jake cowered down on the floor, shaking his head frantically, saying the only thing that came to mind. "Duhh-don't rrrrrememmmmber iiiiit..."

A low growl left his lips as he reached down and grabbed the boy by the front of the robes and hauled him out of his hiding place. Marcus, held Jake up in front of him so that they were at eye level.

"Don't. Lie. To. Me" he said punctuating each word through gritted teeth. "You know exactly what you did to me and to Tiberius." Marcus, lowered the boy back to the floor but he did not release his hold on him. "I got your little cryptic clue when you were in my office earlier. Now I will ask you again. Why did you do it?"

The second Lawson bent to get closer to him, Jake started and tried to scramble away, but didn't get very far, because the man was holding him up in the air, and Jake was just over a foot higher than he was used to being. The boy kicked and flailed slightly, but thankfully the man lowered him down.

And didn't let go.

Crap.

"Let go!" the boy ordered, but it sounded more like he was begging as he tried to pry Lawson's fingers off the front of his robes. "LeggoLeggomeLEGGOME!" he cried out panicking and trying to wrench himself away. "Dun 'member... duhh-d-dun't... 'mmmmmember!"

AmbiguouslyMe · 12-02-2009, 12:37 AM

Oh. OH.

Uh oh.

Tiberius flew as fast as his little legs would carry him and started pulling on Lawson's robes frantically. He had to get Lawson to let go of Jake... he didn't know why, he just did. Maybe it was because the last time they'd fought, well.. disaster. But maybe it was also because Tibi was still too shocked to really process that night and all he was seeing was his friend in trouble.

"Stop it! Stop it stop it stop it!" Tibi jumped up and down, trying to grab onto the man's arm as it clutched Jake. Finally reaching it, Tibi squinted his eyes shut tight and just held on, feet pulled up and swinging to give his body more weight, even if he could have put them on the ground, he wouldn't.

"Le'go of him, professor," Tibi said frantically. "Please le'go."

"NO" Marcus roared as he tightened his hold on Jake's robes and he wasn't very far off shaking the kid either. "I want to know what I did to you that would cause you to want to put me in the hospital for a month?"

Marcus pushed Jake away from him but kept the two wand trained on the boy. "All those times I spent with you trying to help you gain confidence in your magic. Yeah I can see how that would be totally annoying or was it because I tried to protect you against the other students who were picking on you? Or maybe you didn't like it when I went and saw Professor Kazimeriz and stuck up for you and told the old man to leave you alone. I mean which was it, so I know not to do it again."

He was breathing hard as he glared at the boy in front of him. "You know how much I care about you and how much of my time I give you and you..." Marcus trailed off and bit the inside of his lip, hoping to calm down. His hands were clenched tightly around the two wands in his hand.

"You could have killed me. Do you even realise that? Do you even care?" Marcus threw up his hands in exasperation. "You know what, if you don't even have the respect for me to tell me why you did it, then I am done with you Jacob."

But maybe it was also because Tibi was still too shocked to really process that night and all he was seeing was his friend in trouble.

"Stop it! Stop it stop it stop it!" Tibi jumped up and down, trying to grab onto the man's arm as it clutched Jake. Finally reaching it, Tibi squinted his eyes shut tight and just held on, feet pulled up and swinging to give his body more weight, even if he could have put them on the ground, he wouldn't.

"Le'go of him, professor," Tibi said frantically. "Please le'go."

It seemed that Tibi, even though he had turned up with Lawson and was 'in league' with the man, was trying to HELP Jake? It would have made sense had it not been so blatantly obvious that Tibi and Lawson had just worked out exactly what Jake had.

Still, help was help, and Jake looked, wide-eyed, from Tibi to Lawson, back to Tibi... and then back to Lawson again.

Marcus pushed Jake away from him but kept the two wand trained on the boy. "All those times I spent with you trying to help you gain confidence in your magic. Yeah I can see how that would be totally annoying or was it because I tried to protect you against the other students who were picking on you? Or maybe you didn't like it when I went and saw Professor Kazimeriz and stuck up for you and told the old man to leave you alone. I mean which was it, so I know not to do it again."

He was breathing hard as he glared at the boy in front of him. "You know how much I care about you and how much of my time I give you and you..." Marcus trailed off and bit the inside of his lip, hoping to calm down. His hands were clenched tightly around the two wands in his hand.

"You could have killed me. Do you even realise that? Do you even care?" Marcus threw up his hands in exasperation. "You know what, if you don't even have the respect for me to tell me why you did it, then I am done with you Jacob."

"I DON'T REMEMBER!" Jake suddenly bellowed after Lawson finally let go of him, causing him to stumble backwards over his own feet. The man had ranted on, and Jake had been silent, but the threat of 'being done' with Jake was frightening enough, and the boy couldn't take it.

Tears wouldn't help the situation, so Jake didn't cry. Anger seemed to bring out his bad side, though that hadn't happened in weeks...

"I wuh- I wuhhh-wuhhh-were in yyyyour office tuhh-talkkkin'... ssshoutin'... an' then I hhhhit my hhhhhead. An' then I wwwwere out side... under ttthuh wind'uh..." Jake stuttered and stumbled backwards again, urging himself to stay as calm as he could. One outburst was enough, ta very much.

"I..." Jake heard his voice crack a little and looked desperate. "All yuhhh-year... ffffforgetting perrrriods of tuhh-time... buhh-blacking out... nnnno-one... no-one done nuffink," he moaned, the first tear sliding down his face.

He did NOT want Lawson ANYWHERE near him again. Nope. Nosiree.

"STOP IT!" Tibi tried to yell over the two of them, but as Lawson threw his hands up, Tibi lost his grip and fell to the floor with a thud.

Flipping over to his knees, Tibi scurried around their feet and stood up between them.

"STOP. IT." He looked up at Lawson and then back at Jake. "EVERYONE STOP YELLING!!" His eyes were full of tears. He didn't know what to believe or what to do or what was going on. His hands were shaking, one clenching his wand, though he had no idea when he had actually grabbed it.

"You." Tibi turned back up at Lawson, speaking far too sternly for such a small boy. "You said we were going to help him. That's not helping." He stood firmly in front of Lawson, keeping between him and Jake. The man would need to go around him or pick him up or knock him over if he wanted to get at Jake, and that would buy Jake some time.

Tibi knew how to be a human shield, at least.

"And you," he turned to Jake, his voice softening. "I... I dunno what to believe, Jake. I thought you were my friend." Tibi's lip trembled, then. "But I remember what happened now... and it doesn't make any sense."

What was he supposed to say to that?

Marcus was ANGRY and we all know that he never gets angry. "Oh what a likely story" he spat, his body was trembling all over from this unfamiliar feeling. And now that he was angry, he just couldn't seem to get rid of the emotion like he really wanted to do.

"And you didn't think to talk to someone about THAT? You just decided to go around blacking out and not remembering what you had done and not find out why?" Marcus, was absolutely beside himself. It wasn't because he had been attacked it was WHO had attacked him that had him so out of control.

Shaking his head, he glared at Jake one last time before turning to Tiberius who was hell bent on letting his voice be heard.

"Well...gee...I'm sorry about that Tiberius" he sneered as he stared at the young boy who had the gall to yell at him. "Maybe coming face to face with the person who tried to kill you has given me other ideas."

Marcus watched with astonishment as the young Ravvie turned to Jake and basically just forgave the kid. Just like that!

"Friends till the end huh? Well why don't you see if you can get Jake to talk about what happened, since I seem to be the evil person here." he stowed his wand back in its holster and put Jake's in his pocket. "I'll just wait over by the door until you're both done catching up with each other." With that he stormed over to the door and lent up against the wall with his arms folded over his chest.
