You're invited...
WHAT? The Hogwarts Dueling Club! Continue reading for further details!
WHERE? The Great Hall in Hogwarts. Tables will be cleared out of the way for the club meetings.
WHO? All Hogwarts students are encouraged to join, though it is not mandatory.
WHEN? Sign ups will end on Wednesday, August 12th. The first meeting will be held on Friday, August 14th.
With the recent Death Eater attacks and the Wizarding World in a tizzy, the Hogwarts staff has decided to begin a Dueling Club. The Dueling Club, similarly to the one started by Gilderoy Lockhart four years prior, serves the purpose of teaching students professional dueling tactics. Professors hope these meetings will help students develop stronger skills in self-defense and become more comfortable working with defensive magic. Extra credit shall be awarded to any Defense Against the Dark Arts students that sign up and attend group meetings.
A sign up sheet can be found outside of the Great Hall and is available at all times. No quill is provided (as they tend to get stolen), so bring your own!
Once all students who wish to participate sign up, club members will be sorted into groups of 3 - 4 students. Within their groups, students will practice defensive spells in a safe environment. For each meeting, the groups will alter, so all members will get to work with many of their fellow pupils.
No students should be harming others in any way. Only defensive spells are to be used.
If you are a student and interested in being involved in the Hogwarts Dueling Club, please reply to this message. Make sure your name is posted in bold, please.
NOTES:
- The Dueling Club was created in order to allow all students to be active participants in the role play without breaking canon (Dumbledore's Army).
- Since we don't currently have an active Harry, the Dueling Club serves as an alternative to the DA.
- As well as being a substitute to the DA for the time being, the Dueling Club also allows students who would not be involved in Dumbledore's Army (like most Slytherins, for example) to participate in the plot.
- If you have more than one student and plan to have all or more than one of your characters involved in the club, please send me a PM saying so. I don't want to accidentally put your characters in the same group and have you end up dueling yourself!
- Want to talk about something other than Wizard Politics? Start discussing the newly formed Dueling Club with your friends. Spread the word!
MEETINGS WILL LAST 3 - 4 DAYS. Please keep this in mind when posting! Thread will be eliminated when this time limit is up, so remember to wrap it up before then!
If you are going to be absent, that's perfectly fine! Just drop me a message saying so or post in the absence thread in The Quibbler!
PMs will be sent out to all members stating the date of upcoming meetings. Ideally, I would like them to be weekly, but we'll see how it works out! Adjustments can always be made!
Each thread in the sub-board in the Great Hall, which is where club meetings will take place, will state the names of it's group members. (This event has a lot of potential for confusion, so hopefully this will help to lessen the bafflenosity! )
Feel free to post here or PM me with any questions, comments, or concerns!
