Duelling Salle

[alt_justin]

It's one of those days when one feels truly lucky to be resident in the Protectorate. The opportunity to take advantage of a duelling course such as the Headmaster and Professor Desai have provided is jolly well exciting. I can't wait to test out the dummies; Headmaster Dolohov was bally well pleased with the job he and Professor Desai did on them. He hinted at a few surprises that ought to present quite the challenge.

The Headmaster has also asked me to provide brief tutorials to those of you who might be unfamiliar with etiquette for a duelling obstacle course. I was fortunate enough to have run the course already this morning, what, and found it quite the workout. I plan to go through it another two or three times this week.

So if anyone would like an orientation, I should be able to take four or five people through the basics in about half an hour. I say, what about Saturday, for those of you who need to arrange your testing with the Professors? I'll conduct one tour at 9:30, after breakfast, and another before supper, at 5:30. For everyone's safety, what, one ought to limit the number to no more than six, so please leave a note here to let me know if you'd like to participate.

I took the test. It didn't take long. He hit me with one spell that's a bit obscure and doesn't actually do anything right away -- if you leave it, though, it causes muscle spasms that can cause your body to basically tear itself apart. I recognised the hex but I don't know the spell that removes it, so I asked him to take care of it afterward and he seemed really pleased.

I think that was part of the test. So if he casts something on you that you don't recognise, ask him about it, and if he casts something that you know could do real damage, have him remove it -- don't leave and head to the Hospital Wing.

Also, one of the dummies can now be set up to fire hexes a bit randomly. For anyone who tends to flinch. (I flinch a lot.)

I'm going to try to get cleared by Saturday.
