Kourtney's hand shot up. "I believe...rennervate is the counter spell." She answered. "As for others...couldn't an anti-jinx be considered a counter-spell?"

"Correct. It's Rennervate, and not Ennervate." Gnaeus eyed the students who proposed Ennervate. That would produce the opposite effect, and it was incorrect.

So counter spell for Stunning spell. Jonathan had used it once so it's probably what the professor is looking or. He raised his hand to answer "Uhmmm... the ennervate is one of the counter-spell to the Stunning spell" although the shield charm can also be considered as a counter spell to almost anything.

There are tons of counter-spells, one should only know where to use such spells. "levicorpus' counter spell is the Liberacorpus..." is it correct?

"Very good! Liberacorpus will counter the effect of Levicopus!"

Aiden chuckles as the man pokes the unconscious boy like he was a cat or something. How amusing. To answer Mr. Spenser's question, she raises her hand. "Ennervate would be the counter-spell for the Stunning Spell," she pauses before moving to the next question. "If I'm not mistaken... Vipera Evanesca is the counter-spell for Serpensortia."

"Correct! Vipera Evanesca is the ideal counter spell for Serpensortia, but Evanesco alone is also considered a counter spell, which can work against a wide variety of spells. Very good."

Once the spell hit her shield, Evelyn dropped it and stared at Josh. Was he...was he even conscious?! Apparently not. And Mr. Spenser dude wasn't going to do anything about it, was he? Nope. He wasn't. Oh Josh. Quite frankly, Evelyn didn't want him to be conscious, only to realize that he was now dangling in the air like a piñata for everyone to stare at. Nodding somewhat, mouth agate slightly, she walked back down from the stage and towards her space in the back of the group, her gaze never leaving the Gryffindor boy.

Tilting her head to the side somewhat as she leaned against the wall again, arms crossed like usual, the way Josh hung there was...well it was hard to look away; much less even pay attention to what was being said. Crossing her arms a little tighter, she snapped her mouth shut and finally payed attention to the lesson. Not without her gaze flickering over to...Josh...every now and then though. Perhaps someone SHOULD wake him up...

Stare.

OH WAIT! She knew spells. Yup. Counter spells. Don't stare at the dangling boy! "Reverto is a counter spell for...a variety of spells." At least she learned one thing in transfiguration class.

"Precisely! While Evanesco will make something that has been conjured vanish, Reverto will turn something that has been transfigured into its original form."

and... The other counter spell.

"Other examples is.. Banishing charm. Depulso. is a counter spell for Accio, the summoning charm."

"Very good! The Banishing Charm can also be used to send away unwanted objects that weren't previously summoned by the caster, so keep this spell in mind."

Eino knew one spell that was used quite often by students when practicing in Charms class, so he was surprised no one had mentioned it yet. He looked from the dangling body to the professor then raised his hand. "There are the spells Finite and Finite Incantatem, which can counter a charm, a jinx, or a hex. Finite works for a specific object and Finite Incantatem will affect all objects within an area." Admittedly, Eino never thought about using these two spells in duels but now they seemed quite appropriate for it, and very useful.

"Finite and Finite Incantatem are very important, too. Good, good."

Moving on...

"Rennervate is the Counter Spell for the Stunning Spell, and it will bring stunned individuals back to consciousness." The man then set the Gryffindor boy down on the stage carefully and with a twirl of his wand he uttered the incantation. "Rennervate." The tip of Gnaeus' wand began to emit a dim white light and almost immediately the boy began to open his eyes and wake up. "That should do it." He said, flicked his wand, then tucked it back into his pocket to help the boy up.

"Now, today you will be dueling without the use of the Shield Charm. Instead, you will use Counter Spells. Most of you mentioned some useful spells, so keep those in mind. However, you failed to mention that most spells can serve as counter spells, too. For example, you can respond to a Stunning Spell with the same spell. This will work as long as you and your opponent don't have wands with the same core.

But that's not as fun, so today I want you to duel using your creativity. You may not use Dark Magic, but other than that anything goes. Be creative in attacking your opponent as well as defending yourself. Pay close attention to their wand movement, incantation, and the appearance of the spell. Pick a partner, preferably someone from the same year as you, but if you can't find someone of the same age someone a bit younger or older won't make a significant difference. Also, make sure your opponent doesn't have the same wand core as you. Most importantly, don't go too easy on each other. Questions?"

---

OOC: Okay, time to practice. You have been instructed to be creative, so this means you can do just about anything with HP canon spells as well as SS canon spells.

For example, use Serpensortia, Avis, Avifors, Lapifors, Papilio, Dragonifors (that's what the dragon statues are for) with Oppugno to sic some animals on your opponent. In response, you can use Fera Verto to transfigure the animals into whatever you concentrate on, Reverto to turn them back to their original state, or Evanesco to vanish them.

You can use Fire related spells to attempt to burn your opponent and in response you can cast Water spells. Use Glisseo to make them slip up and fall, and counter the charm with Finite.

Have fun using the Bestiar Charm. You can transfigure their eyes into bat eyes so they can't see because it's light, their arms into wings so they can't hold onto their wands, etc.

There's Incarcifors, Lentesco, Shrowan, Melofors, Densaugeo, Ventus, Muffliato, and so on. There are a million things you can do.

You are expected to get some minor injuries because we will be learning some Healing Spells later, but only MINOR INJURIES. A small burn, a broken finger or nose, small cuts are all acceptable. Don't die, and don't do anything that would require immediate medical help.

Oooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh................. Aiden could feel her spine tingling with excitement now. Using counter-spells instead of the Shield Charm sounds more adventurous. She looks around the room for someone to practice with. Hopefully no one way too old especially Evelyn. The Head Girl scared her off after the try outs they had. She is way too good!

Need a partner ^_^

Victoria listened intently to the Dueling teacher. Hmm...Stunning Spells instead of the Shield Charm? Victoria like that idea, she prefered stunning charms anyways.

Looks like they'll have to find a partner. Victoria searched around the room, looking for a good partner to partner up. She doesn't want a really young student, because then she'll have to go easy on them. Victoria rather have challenges. "I'll be anyone's partner if anyone needs one..." Victoria said outloud.

"Mind if I be your partner?" asked Raven. The girl looked familiar to her. But, who??

A younger girl walked up to her, and asked Aiden if she'd mind being her partner. "Not at all," said the older girl. She draws out her wand from her robe, and holds it firmly. "Which spell do you want to practice first?" she asked the younger girl coolly.

The grey eyes looked at the younger face intensely. "All right then," she smirked arrogantly. "But I must warn; I won't be easy on you," said Aiden as she walked away to distance herself from the younger housemate before they start to duel.

With wand pointed directly towards Raven, the older Slytherin immensely concentrate on the spell she is about to cast. "Silencio," whispered Aiden as she jabs her hornbeam wand forward.

louise looking around "who wants to be with me" i will go easy on you" she would as she was rubbish at magic

Louisa watched the reviving process very carefully and almost sighed when the 'corpse' was not a 'corpse' anymore. Her eyes were glued to the short Professor quickly as he explained today's club meeting objective.

... counter spell dueling. Not bad, there was only one pitfall to this which was being a fourth year and casting pathetic spells, the more advanced took more concentration time if she wanted to cast any.

Anyway it wouldn't hurt to look for a close aged partner, right? Louisa looked around for the 'suitable' partner.

SPOILER!!: Duelling Professor

Katrina needed a partner.
"Anybody need a partner?" The firstie looked around.

Good. Her opponent casted a silencing charm and now, Raven couldn't give a voice. Since she was a first year, she couldn't casted any non-verbal spell..

AAAAARRRRRGGGGHHHHHH!!!!! she grumbled in her mind.

Let's see

Jesifur stood apart from the group and waved her arms.

"Anyone want to partner with me? First Year looking for a partner."

Hopefully someone would want to be her partner. She had been quiet before because of all the note taking. He was really going over a lot this time. There was too much to remember without writing it down!

The second year will never go easy on her opponents especially when it comes to duelling. There was no expression of satisfaction on her pale face. Even her grey eyes were lightless. However since she is duelling with a first year and furthermore, a housemate, Aiden won't use go so hard on her until the other girl adjusts herself to the duel.

With the speed, she makes a quick twirling movement with her wand. "Expelliarmus," she murmurs aiming at the other girl's wand hand. Thanks to Captain Bennett's teaching last term, Aiden's Disarming Charm has improved a milestone.

"Hello, Louisa" He said after making his way across the room towards her. "Do you need a partner?" He had watched her duel last time and he had to admit he was a little nervous to practice with her, but hopefully he wouldn't make a fool of himself. He was very excited to be able to use random spells to duel, spells he had never thought would be useful for duels.

"Hi!" She grinned at Eino enthusiastically - which was probably the first time she did that to him but he moved from a fellow Ravenclaw to a friend, in Louisa's book that is. "Yeah, sure. I was just looking for one." She took her wand out and moved to the side a bit, then faced the boy and walked backward a few steps. Standing erect and meeting his eyes seriously, the girl bowed. Oh yeah she was about to do a professional duel.

The second she stood back up again her wand was moving and she called out, "Depulso!" That should shove the boy backward... probably.

...it was weird that her first reaction to him as a friend was Depulso. Heh.

However, as she cast the Banishing Charm, he point his wand at his feet and say "Lentesco." He wasn't exactly sure how to make himself not be sent away, other than to gluing his own shoes to the ground. This didn't necessarily stop her spell, and he still could feel an ominous force pushing him backwards. But only his feet were secure, so in a struggle fight the spell with the rest of his body he was pushed down and fell on his bottom.

When the spell's effect wore off, he pointed his wand at the girl, still sitting on his aching bottom, and uttered "Steleus," while pointing directly at her nose, with the intention of making her sneeze uncontrollably. That should give him some time to unglue his shoes and get back up on his feet... if it worked.

Gnaeus gestured the Slytherin to the Hufflepuff, then the Hufflepuff to the Slytherin, like he was introducing them to each other nonverbally. He would probably scare them if he spoke, but he did smile at them. "Have a go at it." He said and nodded.

The old man then proceeded to pace around the room, carefully watching as the students duel. It was only a few months until the end of the year and he still had to choose a student from each house to help him in the future. They weren't just dueling to spend the time. Eventually, there would be tournaments and tournaments need Dueling Leaders to organize and conduct them, and he was looking for the best duelists for that job. Hmmm...

OOC: Quick, but important note. Please remember to RP your characters intention only. The effect of your spell should be roleplayed by the other person. Do not RP someone else's character. Also, please try to be realistic with the spells your character should know. You're not trying to knock out your opponent, just finding creative ways to disarm him or her. This also applies to the recipient, your character shouldn't successfully block or counter every single spell.

Kurumi glanced around the room looking for someone to partner with. Her eyes fell on Jonathan, but she wasn't sure he would want to be partners with her for this sort of activity. He had mentioned before that he couldn't bring himself to point a wand in her direction - which was really sweet of him, but she could take care of herself if need be.

She continued to look around the room for a partner ~~although she wouldn't object to being partners with the Slytherin if he wanted~~

Was Selina here? She was always good to partner up with.

The first thing that was on Treyen's mind as soon as Mr. Spenser mentioned finding a partner was...to find Vashti, of course, because up until now he'd practiced with her. It was only obvious that that was the other student he was going to look for.

Yet...was practicing this dueling thing with the same person some sort of improvement? No, that's why he 'Pssst' at Arya, "Hey, Arya, want to partner up with me?" the Hufflepuff was still giving his Co-Prefect a choice...but it would be incredibly fun to practice with her, right?

Incredibly fun, indeed.

"Hey, Professor Spenser paired us up because we didn't have partners," Katrina said, nodding. "Let's have a go,"

Ah! So, the first year was trying to knock her out now, she smirks. Not much to worry since a first year couldn't possibly throw her across the room. That was the reason why she avoided partnering up with older students. It is the matter of pride. Nevertheless, one should not look down on the opponent. Hand with wand straight in front of her, Aiden gazed seriously at the incoming Stunning Spell as she waited for the perfect timing to counter it.

"Finite," she muttered while making a sweeping motion with her whole arm towards the incoming red light, dissolving the spell as it was about to hit her. Now, it's her turn to attack. Instead of aiming at the younger girl, Aiden points her wand on the floor where the other girl was standing on.

"Glisseo," she muttered, but her voice was louder than before. This spell has always been one of her favourites to practice... And pull pranks.

Quickly, Raven beat the spell. Now, she thought what will she cast. She smirked to her

Never underestimate the first year She swished her wand and pointed to her opponent's nose.

"BESTIAR!!!"

...until she was hit by a spell out of the blue. "ACHU!" The girl started sneezing, her head snapping forward with every squeak-like sneeze. "Del-ACHU-etrius," One last big sneeze, spits flying all over, and then the spell was finished... or stopped more like it.

Louisa rubbed her teary eyes and smirked at Eino, sniffing, before she spoke loudly, "Tarantallegra!" Let's see Eino's dancing skills. Heh.

she looking around anyone need someone to pair up with still
