It was at the end of the day when the doors that led to the dueling club's room were opened by Gnaeus. It was the last day of the week and the students were eager to enjoy their weekend, but before they could do so they were invited to spend the remaining of their energy dueling.
The room was slightly cleaner than it had been for the previous meeting. The broken trophy stands and benches had been repaired and dusted, but there was still plenty of space to duel. Apart from that and a few small dragon statues hanging from the ceiling, the room looked the same.
Gnaeus made his way to the center of the room, up the stage, and there he waited for the students to arrive. As the students enter the room, the figures in the portraits whisper to each other very silently, then suspiciously abandon their portraits, leaving an empty frame behind.
OOC: The meeting has started, but anyone is still welcome to attend. While you won't lose points if you walk in late, it's best if you just pretend you have been in there all along.
Isabelle walked into the dueling club room. She hadn't been able to make it the the first one so she wan't to be sure to get to this one. "Good afternoon," she said cheerfully taking a seat on a bench waiting for the meeting to start. Isabelle wondered why the portraits began whispering and leaving their frames when she and the other students began to enter. That was suspicious.
Louisa dragged her feet into the Great Hall for the next Dueling Club meeting. It was when the meeting takes place at the end of the day and just few hours before weekend that she regrets joining the club. HOWEVER, the girl felt the urgency of attending it - she wanted to take revenge from that Dark Wizard, didn't she?
Walking into the room, her eyes caught the dragon things hanging from the ceiling. She swallowed, she should've walked in with Vashti. She knew it. After the incident at the Greenhouse and walking snow monsters Louisa should never walk around the castle alone. Her eyes met those of a portrait's man and she was about to smile when he turned and disappeared into the far small door drawn behind him.
Okaaaaaaay, something was off with ghost spirits in Hogwarts today. "Good evening.. or afternoon, sir." She said, tiredly.

Vashti was definitely ready to practice some dueling again. She'd been looking forward to the second club meeting, so she arrived fairly early, smiling as she entered. "Good day, sir," she greeted Mr. Spenser before suddenly noticing the odd behavior of the portraits. Why were they leaving? Did they not want to watch? Perhaps not? Hmm... She shrugged it off and simply took a seat on one of the benches to wait for the rest of the students to arrive.

Aiden makes her way into the room when she sees Mr. Spenser up on the stage. "Good morning, sir," she greets the old man with an enthusiastic voice. Then, she realises the portraits are leaving. Odd...
'Good day sir', Gwendolyn said as she walked in the room. Scanning the place, she realized it looked a bit cleaner... and well- better, than the last time she saw it. Then, spotting the portraits, she frowned, not understanding why they were acting so oddly. Meh...
I love this dueling club, she thought while looking around, hoping to see some familiar faces. The girl than made sure she had her wand and waited for the class (was it even a class?!) to start.

Second meeting! The first was pretty awesome in itself, and she hoped that this one would be equally informative. With a bounce in her step, Kourtney entered the room, greeting the instructor with a quick. "Hello, sir!"
She glanced around, noticing that a few students had already shown up, and then her attention was drawn towards the portraits around the room. She had already become used to the talking portraits, but these particular portraits were behaving very strangely.
Watching them with narrowed eyes, she tried to figure out what exactly was the problem. Was it because of the students? Or something with the professor?

The second meeting has finally arrived. Jonathan walked over to the Great Hall and entered the classroom. Yeah, he probably needs some practice in his dueling skills.
Entering the room he spotted the teacher "Good day, sir" he smiled. And whoah everything seems to be back to normal. No more broken stuffs and best of all it's all tidied up for their second meeting.

Sarah walked into the room. She looked at the room, second meeting, wow. Sarah looked excited and interested. What would he teach today? She was ready to practice anything. She spotted him. "Hello sir, how are you today?" she asked cheerfully. Sarah's attention was caught by the portraits on the wall. They looked grumbled and moved out of the frames. It made her uneasy. Hm, that's something. She waited for the students to arrive and the class to start.

Oookay...the manner in which the portraits left their frames was a little alarming, but Kurumi tried not to let the cold shiver that was shooting down her spin bother her too much. "Good day, Mr. Spencer," Kurumi said with a smile, no bow. She had learned that the hard way. No bowing unless you intend to duel. Lesson learned. Thank you for that, sir. Still, it was really hard for her to not rely on the principles and manners she had been raised with.
Kurumi continued her way around the room, waving at Kourtney as she did. "Nice to see another lion her," she winked at the first year before continuing on. She saw Jonathan and waved. Probably not the place for her to stand near him, dueling and all, but he was standing with a perfectly Kurumi-sized gap between himself and Kourtney, so she took the risk. "Nice to see you here as well," she smiled at Jonathan.

Sarah saw Kurumi enter the room. Hm. Another lion. Sarah waved towards her and smiled. "Hello" she said, "What do you think he'll do today?" Sarah looked at the two around her. Maybe I shouldn't disturb them?
Jesifur walked into the room and said hello to the little wizard who ran the club. "Sir, I am very glad to have this dueling club, thank you for running it. I really enjoyed watching the duels last time."
Jesifur wasn't ready to duel herself yet, but learning all the spell in practice was really neat. She was sure she was learning as much in this club as she learned during her classes.

Duelling club meeting two?? Raven was very excited. Since she loved to cast some spell and duel. She walked to the room of the great hall and greeted Gnaesus Spenser. The duelling club instructor.
"Hello Mr. Spenser. I'm glad you make a second meeting right now."

Cassie was most certainly under the weather. Her throat hurt and she had the sniffles but there was no way dueling club meeting was going to miss her. She enjoyed them way too much plus she was hoping to get to duel someone, soon. She had missed out the last time because of stuff..
She strolled into the room wand looked around. hmm no seventh years had arrived yet. Shame.

Janice walked into the room off the Great Hall and found herself in the duelling club. Apparently, she had forgotten that there's a meeting today. Trying to look casual, she walked in.

RAWR!!!
So, of course he had the smug look of 'i am the master of all' as he walked in the meeting place even thought he could very well remember how Evelyn kicked him during a duel at that certain room.
''Glad to see you again, sir.'' he said to the old duelling champion man with a respectful nod then eyeing the whole place he walked next to the only seventh years his dark brown eyes spotted: Cassie.
''Hello there.''
This was going to be a great meeting. Even though it was the last day of the week he was still feeling full of energy and...power and stamina and...yeah he was just RAWR!!!
Hehe...

Eino walked in the room off the great hall right after he had dropped by the kitchens to grab a snack. He quickly stuffed the food in his mouth before he entered the room, and as he found a spot, he chewed the remaining of his food and swallowed it. Now he could really use a drink, but that was gonna have to wait. "Greetings, sir." He said to the old man and greeted some of the students around him. He wasn't sure what to expect of this meeting but he was looking forward to dueling again.

Marilyn was running behind...She'd just seen the notice for the second meeting...and had gotten to the dueling room as quickly as she could. Of course, when she entered the room, Cassie was already present...and so was Josh.
O.O
When did they get to classes before her?
Approaching them both, she smirked. "Hello, you two..."
Oh...and the Professor...
"Hello to you, too, Professor..."

Cassie looked to the entrance as Josh walked in, with that signature Josh look. She rolled her eyes at him but giggled anyways. He was so silly sometimes.
It was when he said hi to Professor Spenser, that she realised the man was actually in the room. Gah he was so small, she hardly saw him sometimes.
"Oh hello Professor..I still want to touch your beard." She grinned at Josh.
"Great entrance." She said grinning at Josh.
Marilyn entered and she prod her as she walked over.
"Bout time you got here late bug." She teased.

Gnaeus watched as each student entered the room and replied to their greetings, sometimes with words and other times with a firm nod. He was very pleased to see familiar faces and new faces fill out the room, but he was still expecting some late students to arrive. Once enough students had gathered around the stage, Gnaeus lifted both of his hands high in the air, then spoke. At this, the remaining of the figures in the portraits left, leaving nothing but empty frames covering the walls.
"Welcome, young witches and wizards, to our second meeting. I am very glad to see you all here." Once he had everyone's attention he lowered his hands and paced up and down the stage as he spoke. "Last time we covered the standard dueling rules. These are important rules duelists must respect and follow in a formal duel. In addition to that, you also learned the Shield Charm, Protego, which can be used to protect from most spells. This is one of the most important spells in dueling, so I hope you took the time to practice outside of the meeting." He paused and eyed all of the dueling club members before proceeding.
"Today you will learn Counter-Charms and Healing Spells, but you will also have the opportunity to duel using a wide variety of spells for the purpose of... creativity." Gnaeus smirked, then took notice of the absent portraits. "Perfect." He said to himself then paused in the center of the stage.
"However, before we get to that let's quickly go over what we learned last time. What are the standard dueling rules? What is the difference between a formal and an informal duel? One answer per student, please. Oh, and I will also need a volunteer to demonstrate how the Shield Charm is cast. Preferably an older student."

Having sneaked in just as the tiny wizard dude started his speech, Evelyn hung out in the back of the group, leaned against the wall and arms crossed just like the last meeting. This was just so she could keep an eye on everyone else as well, so they didn't get any funny business and play any jokes on her. They could play jokes on other people.
Hmmm, healing spells? Perhaps it was a good reason she was attending this dueling meeting today.
However, she was certain that a ton of people were going to be calling out the dueling rules and the difference between a formal and informal duel, so instead of raising her hand to do just that, she raised her hand for a different reason. "I'll volunteer, sir." To demonstrate the shield charm that is.

Cassie stepped forward a little and raised her hand as Professor asked them to recall the rules of a formal duel. Man was it good to be back at a meeting and it was so fitting at the end of the week. Hopefully she would get to literally blow off some steam.
"First rule of dueling oponents or rather participants must bow to each other at the beginning of the duel."
She was about to volunteer to demonstrate but Evelyn beat her to it. Pouty frowny face. Sigh, maybe next time.

Arya snuck in behind the Head Girl, literally. She was taller and easier to hide behind than one of the younger students. But the idea wasn't so great when the girl decided to volunteer for stuff, making the short man aware of their presence, though she was sure he'd spotted them long before. Maybe now was a good time to offer up an answer for dueling rules...
Doing a bit of strolling to put some distance between herself and the she-snake, she unholstered her wand, twirling it idly. "No physical constant between duelist."

Gnaeus wasn't surprised to see the Head Girl's hand go up first at all. He was actually hoping she would volunteer. "Excellent!" He exclaimed and moved aside. "Please join me on the stage, Miss Flores." The man instructed and waited for the Slytherin to make her way up.

"Precisely. You always bow, and it has to be a proper bow, too. A simple nod is very disrespectful."

"Very good, Miss Lovegoods. All physical contact between duelists is prohibited, including handshakes, which is why duelists bow instead."

Kimalia definitely wanted to see for herself what this Dueling club was all about after hearing such praise for it. Although she was hesitant about actually dueling, perhaps it would be good for instructional and defense purposes.. She smiled seeing Evelyn go up to volunteer, she would show everyone how it's done, Slytherin style. Kimalia then rose her hand to give an answer, "Well, dark and unforgivable curses aren't allowed to be used."
