Open Light it up

[June Davenport]

The blonde made her way to the SDA club, she figured she could practice anywhere. But she just felt like going here today. She would practice some nonverbal magic, perhaps she dared to do something else. What could go wrong? But she didn't want any trouble with professors. And Professor Cade had told them to practice lumos nonverbal firstly. So she took out her wand, and would start with this. Perhaps later on, since she figured she didn't need a lot of time for this. She would practice some spells om dummies in the duelling chamber. There was one more year to win the duel tournament, it was something she just wanted to complete. Although having that badge on her chest next year was more important, than an stupid tournament here at school. But still June wanted to be the best in everything, so it irritated her an tiny bit perhaps. Not that she would admit. She took out her wand and focused on the tip of her wand concentrated, thought only on what she wanted to achieve, picturing in her mind what needed to happen and nothing else. And smiled as she saw the tip of her wand light up an bit. But it went out slowly, so she tried one more. To make it more powerfull, more perfect. But nonverbal magic was no problem for her she believed.

The duelling chamber would be one of the places Anisha would miss the most about Hogwarts, the thought. Right behind the library and the common room. It was just so nice to spend time there and perfect her spells, even if the memory of the place was a little tainted now by her loss to Terror of all people. She didn't think she was ever getting over that, despite winning the tournament for her year group for almost all the other years she participated. She was hoping to get a bit of training in today, as she was planning to pursue a career in duelling after Hogwarts if she could. She probably wouldn't have a training space as well-equipped as this anytime soon, so she should make use of it while she could.

As soon as she stepped into the room, she realized she was not alone as she had hoped. She watched June as she performed a nonverbal spell. As the girl's wand lit up, she grinned and clapped twice. "Good job." She told her. "Do you mind if I practice here as well?" Despite both being prefects, she didn't really know June that well. She seemed intense, but Fraser liked her and Anisha thought Fraser was a good kid. Maybe that meant she was nicer than she seemed.

As June wanted to try once more. She suddenly heard someone clapping and looked up to see who it was. She was complimented by Anisha, the head girl. June didn't mind getting compliments and smiled at the girl, she never spoken too much with her. But she wasn't named head girl for nothing she believed, and seemed like an hard worker as well. '' Thanks.'' the blonde replied back with an confident smile. Pointing her wand to the ground again for an moment. June liked being here along to practice, but she was succesfull after all and perhaps she could ask Anisha an bit advice for hopefully the badge she would wear next year. June was confident in herself, and pictured it a long time already what she wanted to achieve here at Hogwarts. And so far all of it had been coming true, most of it. Some important things still had to happen next year.
'' Oh no it's fine, What do you need to practice?'' The blonde asked the girl. Wondering what seventh year now would bring. So she would be prepared.​

 

[Anisha Khatri]

Anisha shrugged, pushing her bag a bit up her shoulder before raising her arms to pull her hair up in a bun. "I don't need to practice anything specific, I just want to blow off some steam and make use of this room while I have it." She said with a smile. "I don't think even the Head Girl can sneak back in next year just to use the training dummies, even though it'd be useful." She realized she should probably clarify why. "I'm hoping to duel professionally next year, despite my utter failure at the tournament this year." She grimaced a bit at the memory. She hated losing, she especially hated losing to Terror of all people. A more aptly named person didn't exist. It hurt especially that he then went on to win for her year. Anisha would get over it eventually, probably in a decade or so.

 

[June Davenport]

June nodded to the girl, she needed to blow of steam. June could get that sometimes. And listened as she explained, she wanted to become professional duelist the girl told her. The blonde couldn't understand why, but everyone liked something else for sure. '' Oh really?'' the blonde reacted. Putting her hand in her side. '' Well I guess training to real people than dummies is more usefull, so you wouldn't need them.'' she reacted and gave an short smile. She would be having her last year next year, and couldn't imagine how that must feel. Hogwarts was such an part of all her goals and after that she would work as an adult. '' How did you experience being a headgirl? Got any tips for someone who hopes to follow in your footsteps?'' the blonde explained, being direct about it.

 

[Anisha Khatri]

Anisha nodded at June's statement with a small shrug. "True enough, but sometimes dummies are nice because they'll just do what you want them to." She said with a small smile. Also, they had less chance of accidentally hurting you. Anisha grabbed one of the dummies and dragged it to a good spot for her, then looked up as June asked her about being head girl. She hesitated. "Well, I can't really help you with how to get the badge, I wasn't really expecting it honestly. And it's a bit too late to change anything about yhor behavior now." Though she had been hoping for it and had worked for it, something she didn't want to admit to this girl she barely knew. She adjusted the dummy a bit. "But if you do get it, I can give you some advice." She turned to June with a serious expression on her face. "Some of the prefects are jerks, don't let them get to you. Nothing you'll do will be right in their eyes and they will let you know. Ignore them, just do what feels right to you." She said, thinking back to that first prefect's meeting. "If I could go back, I'd probably complain about a few of the guys in the prefects meeting and how they treated me. So my advice is to do that if they're rude for no reason."

 

[June Davenport]

June smirked as Anisha commented, that was true. But that was if you wanted things easy. And putting someones sleave on fire was more fun for June at least. As Anisha grabbed an dummy the blonde wanted to roll her eyes but didn't, thinking it was enough. June didn't need to change anything, she was the best out there and sometimes people whined about not being social. But that was not her problem, it was theirs obviously. And June only liked spending time with people who earned it. She chose the people with care. And wasn't one to walk along with the rest like half of this school did, like sheeps. But she had been feeling alone sometimes, like the whole school was against her for being so good and having a lot of talent. Some people couldn't deal with confidence, mostly hufflepuffs they were so annoying to June. She wanted to say she deserved it back to Anisha, and doubted. But whatever they had to deal with confidence. '' I kind of feel I deserved it. I've worked hard for it on different area's.'' the blonde said. '' Did I say that out loud?'' She put after it with an grin. Wondering if this gryffindor could deal with confidence. '' Good advice. I noticed, I felt the irritation myself. It's like some people just stayed at eleven years old.'' The blonde agreed. She smiled shortly.

 

[Anisha Khatri]

Anisha shrugged as June said she felt like she deserved it, pushing up her sleeves. "Yeah, I get that." She said after a beat. "But the question is, do you deserve it more than everyone else?"She fired a stunning spell at the dummy, smiling as she struck it right in the middle of its chest. "At least in the eyes of the Headmaster, you know?" She asked, glancing at June sideways. She had no idea who June's competition was, she hadn't paid that close attention to the year below her. Anisha nodded. "Yeah, I don't know. Maybe you're different, but for me it was kind of hard not to take it personally." She admitted. "It's whatever, though. I'm over it now."
