β Dominik β Knapp β
β Hufflepuff Fourth Year β
Dueling Club β Quidditch Beater β Lead Stabber β Musician
β¬β¬ βThere isnβt a day that goes by that I donβt think about youββ¬β¬
Dominik still wasn't very good at dueling, she lost more duels than she won, but she enjoyed seeing all the sparks flying out of everyone's wands. Well, she would probably get better if she actually showed up to all the meetings, instead of forgetting half of them, and just deciding not to show up the other part of the time. Sometimes hit was just hard keeping up with when she was supposed to be where, not that it really mattered.
She shrugged, filled out a form, and readied herself for whatever was to come today during the club

Member of the Daily Dragon, Art Club, and Dueling Club

Taylor nodded, confirming that she stayed at the festival until the end, if by βendβ, Matilda meant the end of that particular day. βI went on the Saturday,β she explained, since her motherβs panel was at 17:00. βI got to watch Ariana Hawthorne perform, and this other band called the Manic Pixie Dream Girl Myth. I really like their music β I canβt believe I havenβt heard of them before!β she exclaimed. It may have been since, after doing some research on them and discovering a bit more information on them, they seemed to typically play in smaller venues and never got (or went for) a big break. However, now that she had been introduced to the band, Taylor only started to dive deeper and deeper into the indie grunge metal genre of music.
Taylorβs jaw practically dropped to the ground when Matilda had revealed that her brother Eden and his girlfriend Calliope had gotten engaged. βOh, my God. What?! Thatβs so exciting! How did he propose? What does her ring look like? Whenβs the wedding? Does Callie need a dress? My mom designs wedding dresses β maybe I can talk to her and get them a discount? Oh my β that is so exciting!β The brunette practically word vomited upon hearing the news. Although they were only a few years older than her and Taylor could not imagine getting engaged at eighteen, she was happy for the couple. They dated for quite a few years if she recalled correctly, so it made sense for them. Sure, Taylor thought a couple of the upper years (and maybe some in her own year as well as the girls) were attractive, she didnβt think she would be a βhigh school sweetheartβ with anyone. As far as she was concerned, sheβd have many boyfriends over the course of her life and would break a lot more hearts than that.
Matilda mentioned wanting to talk to Taylor about the Dueling Club, which caused the girlβs heart to skip a beat. Was she right? Was she going to be named as the captain this year? That idea was quickly shut down, but the blonde did ask if Taylor wanted to be the vice captain. βUm, duh! Iβd love to!β she exclaimed, accepting the offer enthusiastically. In just a couple of years, once Matilda graduated β if she did, but that was a whole other topic of discussion β Taylor would take over as the clubβs captain.
Taylor turned her attention to the other two members as they walked into the room and greeted her and Mattie. βHeya Dominik and Pep! You excited to get to join in on all of the fun this year?β she asked the second year after greeting both students. βOh, you should have told me you were bringing Kiwi! I could have brought Ivy. I bet they would have gotten along great,β she commented, referring to the bunny she had left in her dormitory. Bunnies were cute and all, but Taylor didnβt bring her to many clubs. She mostly only brought her out of the dorm to take her outside.

Brianna Cathaline Quinn-Smith
Slytherin β First Year β Eleven Years Old β Single
As soon as she found out about the Dueling Club, Brianna was interested in it. The young Slytherin saw it as the chance to practice the stuff she was learning in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, and an opportunity to test herself and her skills against other students. No, she wasn't interested in lording whatever skills she might have acquired over anybody else, sorry, but borrrring, no, she wanted to push herself, and become better. Brianna knew that classwork wasnβt enough to do the job, she needed practice, and the chance to see what others could do. She tried to get Ron to come along with her, but she knew he was already busy with the clubs he was already involved with, and he just didnβt have any interest in Dueling.
So, here she was, seeking out the club on her own. βNot that I care,β she thought, as she walked along. βI can take care of myself, thank you very much; I donβt need my big brother shepherding me around like Iβm still in kindergarten, or something stoopid like that.β She was disappointed the meeting wasnβt taking place outside, it was in some stuffy classroom, but, at least it wasnβt in one of the dungeons. βSafety, I suppose. Be bad form to have some somebodyβs stray spell hit somebody just walking by.β
Brianna decided to show up for the club wearing a green plaid skirt, a Slytherin hooded sweatshirt, and a pair of ankle boots, as she wanted to try to look a little more adult and nicer than she might for Herbology Club, and show the older students she was trying to be as serious in this as she imagined they were. Seeing a couple of the older girls present, including the one she knew was the Captain, the First Year was quietly pleased with her choice. Brianna picked up a form, and promptly started filling it out.
Brianna Cathaline Quinn-Smith of House Slytherin
Giving the Captain a smile, Brianna said, βHello, Iβm interested in joining Dueling Club. Is it okay for me to sign up?β
 "You're lost little girl, you're lost little girl
You're lost, tell me who are you?"
"I think that you know what to do
Impossible? Yes, but it's true
I think that you know what to do, yeah
I'm sure that you know what to do "

  Ronald David Quinn-Smith xxxxxxxxxxxxx Brianna Cathaline Quinn-Smith Hufflepuff Sixth Year xxxxxxxxxxxx Slytherin Third Year
Brianna may not have felt so confident being part of her brotherβs Herbology Club, but that wasnβt the case for the Dueling Club; if anything the roles were kind of reversed. The memory of what took place a couple terms ago may have faded, but it still served as a touchstone for Brianna, in that she didnβt want to ever be in a position where she was completely unable to do anything to take care of herself in a dangerous situation, and need to be saved by anybody. As it stood, against an older student such as her assailant, she might still be dogmeat, but by golly sheβd go down swinging if she had anything to say about it.
As for Ron, heβd been guilted into signing up for the club by Mom, but then she had good reason for doing so, or so Brianna was told, as the reason still had yet to be revealed to her. There was also the whole βhe protected his girlfriend, but couldnβt protect his own little sisterβ thing which he held over his own head, without any prodding from anyone.
Beyond all the past nastiness, Dueling Club was fun, and Brianna had the chance to have some laughs, make friends, and learn a few things along the way. It also gave her pause to consider her own career options for life after Hogwarts. Unlike her big brother, she just wasnβt the caregiver or the nurturing sort, and the idea of being an Obliviator, or an Auror, or a Hit Wizard just sounded too darned cool to her. She hadnβt revealed these thoughts to Ron or Mom and Dad, but she knew the latter would soon be pushing her to start making life choices, and Brianna wasnβt sure how they might react to what she was considering.
Today, Brianna was wearing a pair of black slacks, along with her trainers, paired up with a long-sleeved Tee shirt and her Slytherin hooded jacket, while Ron was walking beside her, dressed in a black wooly-pully, dress slacks and a pair of loafers, both of them having a warm, casual look befitting an after-class activity.

βSo, what do you think, Mattie?β asked Brianna casually, seeing she and Ron were the first to arrive, aside from the Captain. βThink weβll get a good turnout this year?β

Taylor entered the room in a cute two-piece workout fit, her lips freshly glossed. She partly took Mattieβs approach in dressing in cute outfits to Dueling, but Tayβs outfit was more sweat-ready than the club captainβs. On the other hand, the blondeβs outfit always looked badass. βHi, guys!β the brunette greeted Matilda, Ronald and Brianna. After the altercation that Taylor had heard about last year, she wasnβt surprised that her classmate had joined Dueling Club again this year. βDid you all have a good summer?β she asked as she set her purse aside and rolled up the sleeves of her hoodie, revealing the long, tight sleeves. Taylor was ready to throw some hexes and dodge some curses, and typically after doing so for ten or so minutes, sheβd be hot enough to peel off her hoodie.

ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
Only three days of classes had passed and Taylor was already over it. She loved Hogwartsβ social life with all of the clubs and going out to Hogsmeade, but she wasnβt a fan of studying. Unfortunately for her, seventh year entailed N.E.W.T. exams. Fortunately for her, however, all she needed to do was pass most of them. Being a fashion photographer wasnβt rocket science after all β she didnβt need to pressure herself with getting straight Oβs like Echo did. Ugh, Echo. The Slytherin made Taylorβs blood under her skin boil even more this year than last β and UGH! She was still hanging around Syd. Taylor expected their fling or whatever Echo wanted to call it to fall apart over the summer, yet somehow, here they were as if nothing changed. And Syd was such a stoner loser skater boy β he was all wrong for Echo. She would be better off with someone who actually put effort into their looks and noticed the little things, like what perfume complemented her natural odour in a way that made her smell nice or what food to take her out for that didnβt cause her to bloat. With an angsty huff, Taylor pulled the club forms out of her document folder and placed them on the desk next to the quills.

Brianna Cathaline Quinn-Smith Slytherin β Fifth Year β Fifteen Years Old β Single β Slytherin Prefect β Dueling Club Captain β Quidditch Vice-Captain
To say that Brianna was looking forward to opening up Dueling Club for the start of the year was a bit of an understatement. In fact, sheβs been chomping at the proverbial bit, planning and waiting for this day. Everything sheβd told Csuri at the carnival last spring was exactly how she felt about the Club. It had nothing to do with being a bully or showing folk up, but it had everything to do with being challenged by oneβs opponents and figuring out how to succeed.
There was also a measure of having the chance to spruce up oneβs skills for Defense Against Dark Arts class, and Wandless Practice class if one was of a wont to do; and Brianna planned to avail herself of the chance, with OWLs looming in the near future. She also liked the idea of giving the younger students a chance to tryout, or at very least see, things they might not get the chance to in their classes, and maybe even pick up something that might save their lives.
There was also something else; sheβd tried to explain it to Csuri, but it was hard for her to put it in words. Brianna tried to impress upon her friend how the Club had fostered in her a sense of comeraderie and kinship that being a part of any other club really didnβt. Brianna read about the aristocratic dueling societies which flourished in Europe centuries ago, at universities and the noble courts, and maybe it was from there she got those notions. What she knew was here she could unwind, have a few laughs, and enjoy the company of fellow duelists, knowing those connections could carry her through into her career and beyond.
Brianna put flyers up around the school, and arranged for them to be posted in the other Houses' Common Rooms. She also made sure to state clearly First Year students wouldn't be allowed to participate, however they were certainly welcome to watch the proceedings and pick up some useful pointers. She was wearing a fitted black jacket that sheβd bought for the occasion because she thought it looked a little dressier, and it looked like what she thought a duelistβs jacket ought to look like, which she paired up with a Slytherin plaid skirt and a pair of black ankle boots
After setting up a series of range targets around the perimeter of the meeting area, the Fifth Year set up a small table with a cup filled with self-inking quills and a stack of forms. There was also an insulated carafe will hot chocolate, disposable cups, and a nice tray of cookies sheβd asked the House Elves to make for the occasion. As was customary, she had her Thermos loaded with one of her coffee blends.

The blonde-haired Fifth Year looked about to make sure all her preparations were in order, and thought, βAlrighty then, I guess its show time now.β
OOC: Dueling Club is open for 2060-2061

Brianna Cathaline Quinn-Smith Slytherin β Sixth Year β Sixteen Years Old β Single β Slytherin Prefect β Dueling Club Captain β Quidditch Captain
Brianna was at the Dueling Club location early, so she could get everything in readiness to launch this yearβs iteration of the club. She had targets set up around the perimeter for folks to work on aiming their spells, and she set-up circles for duels to take place. Her first go-around was a bit of a learning experience for her, and she hoped to carry the lessons learned into this term. Brianna put flyers up around the school, and arranged for them to be posted in the other Houses' Common Rooms. It was hope to get new interest in the club, and while First Years werenβt allowed to participate, she was hopeful she could get the younger students to show up to watch their older Housemates. If they picked up something that might be useful later on, well, that was all to the good.
In addition to getting the club and going for the term, it was her hope somebody among the participants would catch her eye sufficiently that she would tap them to be her Vice Captain and successor. Though it seemed like a long time from now, she knew two years would fly by and be gone before she knew it. For now, she was of a mind to focus upon what was to come shortly: the chance to meet up with old friends and having fun with them while taking turns trading shots with each other and having a few laughs along the way.
The blonde-haired Slytherin made the point of being dressed in a more formal manner than she might otherwise for the first meeting, as a show of respect for the ancient and noble art of dueling. She wore a long black, velvet jacket resembling a mourning coat, paired with a matching vest with her Prefectβs badge, a crisp white blouse, a long black skirt and ankle boots. Her long blonde hair was pulled back in a very business-like fashion, adding to a look of old-fashioned class.
One of the last things she set up was a folding table with a heavy paperweight holding down forms to fill out, a cup with self-inking quills, along with carafe filled with hot chocolate, and a tray of assorted sweets sheβd asked the House Elves to prepare for the occasion, while she retained her usual Death Wish hazelnut blend coffee in a Thermos not far away.

βWell, letβs make this one a year to remember,β she thought, as she looked around the area.
"And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies
When everything feels like the movies
Yeah, you bleed just to know you're alive."
