Adrian leaned toward Max when she moved beside him, "hey sis," he greeted in return. When the Professor started, Adrian couldn't help but keep his eyes fixated on the contraption before them. What appeared to be a cloud of smoke but actually had something inside, something that could damage them. Max posed a good question but, honestly, Adrian was just antsy to get started. Adrian didn't care whether there was danger or not, he was bouncing on the balls of his feet in hopes that he could be the first one to get hit. His wand was at the ready...

Addam had been observing quietly in the corner, listening to the lecture until it was time to join the others in the circle. Letting out a soft sigh, he pulled out his cherrywood wand. Fidgetting with it between his fingers. He wasn't enrolled within a dueling class, but seeing he had nothing better to do but study to be on par for not only his O.W.L.S but his N.E.W.T.S. He liked to keep himself sharp if anything, but regardless of that fact. He felt the need to follow a few of his peers to... Professor Dent's class? He wasn't one hundred percent sure if that was the elder wizard's name, but he remained silent before he looked over his shoulder when a girl rushed in. Pushing his glasses up the bridge of his nose, he gave a reassuring smile before taking a step to the side. "Not to worry, we're just about to start." He reassured, even though he didn't know her. He knew that he saw her within the halls as well as other classrooms at Ilvermorny before the unfortunate incident. He went quiet when the girl was noticed by others and just pressed his lips together, staring forward. Blue eyes taking in the rest of the others in slight curiosity as well as anxiousness. Did he really want to do this? Partially.

luke greeted adrian with a quick nod as he came to stand next to him. his grin was quick and he shook his head a little, looking at his fellow gryffindor and year mate. "nah, today i'm just a pleb like the rest of you." he said as he looked back at the professor who was going to be running the show. he couldn't wait to see what they were going to be doing, though anything to do with duelling was going to be more interesting that most things to him, it was after all one of his main interests. "hey max." he greeted adrian's little sister with a quick smile as dent started to tell them what they were going to be doing. he rubbed the back of his neck lightly as he made his way into the circle, taking his wand out and flexing it in his hand lightly, moving his wrist a little to loosen it up slightly. he did his best to be ready for whatever the orb might throw at him, be it fire or water or a shock like max asked about or something a little more sinister. he highly doubted that what would come out could kill them but there was never really anyway to know, after all things could always go wrong. "just make sure you're ready.. " he said softly, his eyes focused on the centre of the circle.

Maxima Greyback, Adrian's sister, asked a question as to what would happen to them if they didn't stop the ball in time. "Well, then it'll get you," he explained. "Obstacles aren't meant to be easy, as those of you who have done the course below this classroom know," he looked pointedly at Lucas. "Don't worry, nothing is set to kill mode, no one is going to die here. The nurse team is also well aware of our activities and are standing by," the nurse staff wasn't entirely thrilled about any of Harry's dueling classes but... that was just the nature of the job. "Now, I know this isn't official 'dueling' with another wizard technique, but as you've seen in the terms curriculum already, we're not focusing on a proper duel. The real world is prison rules, everyone. No one is going to bow to you before trying to kill you unless they're being an as-" he cleared his throat. "Just trust me. They're only messing with you," he explained. "Here we go," he flicked his wand and the red smoke in the center expanded suddenly in a huge poof, expanding just within inches of each persons face before shrinking back to it's three by three foot radius. It spun toward it's first victim, Penelope. "Alright Miss Bainbridge, get ready!"(Okay. The way the game will work is this. Since I chose penelope raisa bainbridge first, you get to choose what sort of attack the ball gives you, and how you respond. Get hit, block it, use a spell against it, anything. Then YOU HAVE TO TAG and write in sending the ball to the next person.)

Professor Dent's ominous warning to Max Greyback that the ball would "get" them if they didn't fight back against it was hardly reassuring, though there were enough people in the room that Penelope figured that it would take a few turns before the ball got around to her. She would get to see what Professor Dent had done to enchant it, and then she would be able to react accordingly without any difficulty—or a trip to the Hospital Wing.
"The real world is prison rules, everyone. No one is going to bow to you before trying to kill you unless they're being an as— Just trust me. They're only messing with you."
Those were really not the words that Penelope wanted to hear. It was more of a warning than a pep talk, and she could feel her heart pounding.
"Here we go."
The Hufflepuff flinched, stepping back as the red smoke grew uncomfortably close to her face and then retracted into its orb.
"Alright Miss Bainbridge, get ready!"
Her?! Why had he decided to choose her first? Could this thing smell fear? Penelope didn't know, but she fumbled with her wand and then held it out in front of her, waiting.
The ball began to shoot a jet of water in her direction. Penelope's heart continued to race. "Arresto Momentum!" she cast, watching as the water pressure began to dwindle to that of a lawn sprinkler. Although she had gotten slightly wet, she wasn't as soaked as she could have been by it.
She wasn't sure who to pass it to, so she shouted out the first name that came to mind and sent the ball flying. "…Toby!"

Toby could feel his mouth going dry. As nervous as he was, he really wanted to be there. Toby enjoyed learning new things and testing his skills in a controlled environment. Mixed sessions with Professor Dent wasn't something that happened all of the time, so he knew he had to attend today. There was a decent turn out of students and Professors, Toby was relieved that it wasn't overcrowded. There was enough room for everyone to make a large circle.
The lanky Ravenclaw listened to the sound of Professor Dents voice as a red cloud of smoke came swirling toward him, causing him to step back with caution. This wasn't going to be a typical lesson. Then, he heard Penelope's named called...and it started. First he heard the sound of water, listening intently for his surroundings. He wasn't expecting his name to be called second, but it was. Hell! Toby braced himself, watching as the ball came spinning toward him, shooting a burst of fire at him. The heat kissed his cheeks as his eyes widened, stepping back a bit out of reflex.
Toby raised his wand with a sideways 'S' shape movement, "Aguamenti!" he shouted, as the fiery inferno slowly extinguished. Toby swallowed, surprised that it worked. Although he considered that a simple incantation. His mouth opened and he looked around quickly with shifty eyes, "Uh-Adrian!"

Toby called his name and Adrian turned to face the floating smoke headed his direction. Adrian swallowed, lifting his wand in preparation. Water first, then fire, he prepared for whatever element may be headed his way. He found himself.... being oddly nervous? He wasn't the best dueler, sure, but he usually loved danger. He was an adrenaline junkie, that was for sure, but why was his heart beating so loud in his ears. He cleared he throat as the thing got closer and suddenly electric tendrils shot out toward him. "Protego-uh-Maxima!" well, he's stutter of an 'uh' in the middle of his cast was not good. The protection shield manifested for about a second, stopping a few of the electric currents before dissipating. Adrian didn't even have time to brace himself for the shock that came next. He closed his eyes as it hit him, inhaling sharply. Then, once it stopped, he let out a small cough. He made eye contact with the Professor and then, with a raspy voice, just passed it on. "Addam," he croaked, coughing again. He sent the thing toward the guy and took a step back. Okay, so that wasn't his strongest moment. He tried to recall what element would better protect him from electricity... @addam

Addam wasn't feeling the best about this whole thing, though it was good that the nurses were on standby. He wasn't a big fan of pain but as he watched the others each blocked the attack that was transpiring from the orb of swirling smoke, it became more apparent that his gut feeling was right. This was either going to be successful or it was going to undeniably hurt. Fire. Water. He winced as the Gryffindor within his year got electrocuted by hesitating in his spell before he slowly gripped the handle of his wand. Taking in a sharp intake of breath as the ball of smoke titered toward him the moment the male could say his name. For a moment it just hovered there as if it was contemplating what attack it was going to make fun of him for before it began to contort. Shift as it grew solid and cracked. Jutting out sharp edges of earth and debris, before it shook. Threatening to explode upon him. "Impedimenta!" He cast out, causing the explosion of the earth to ricochet out within slow motion. Before laughing slightly as he poked one of the floating pieces of the earth as he lowered his wand. He cleared his throat when he knew he was supposed to say a name before he chewed the inside of his cheek. Looking amongst the students before nodding toward the Hufflepuff. "Ezekiel..." And just like that, in slow motion the earthy look of the sphere slowly melted back into its smoke-like shape as it drifted toward the next contender. @ezekiel

Zeke continued to watch as the ball got started. It went well enough to start off, at least. Penelope, the first person to get the ball of smoke thrown in her direction by Professor Dent, passed it on to a kid named Toby, who passed it to Adrian, who passed it to Addam… and Addam passed it on to… "Ezekiel!"
Him.
Watching the orb carefully as it reached him, Zeke kept his wand out to see what it would do. He could see that it had begun to emit something—probably the knock-out gas that Professor Dent had mentioned. It wasn't what he had expected; fire or something would have been much easier to handle, but he had to keep himself and the rest of the classroom from falling victim to it.
While a Bubble-Head Charm was his first thought—and while it would have worked if he were the only one in the room—he didn't think that he could manage to cast one of those on everyone in the room in time. The second option, which was the one that he decided upon, was to encapsulate the ball thing itself.
"Ebublio!" he cast, watching as the ball—trapped inside of a magical bubble that couldn't just burst on its own—floated up to the ceiling.
"Professor Dent, I think we're gonna need another ball over here…"

Aria watched with wide eyes as everyone took turns with the magical ball. It was both fun AND educational! Aria thought it was a clever way of getting students to practice their magic. She bit her lip as everyone else started having their turns. She tried not to snicker as Ezekiel used a magic spell on the ball and watched it float to the ceiling.
"That was interesting."
She grinned to him. It was nice to have a little fun now and again and just relax. It helped with moments of homesickness and in reality, Aria enjoyed Hogwarts so much! She got to keep her wand on her person rather than at the school. It was an amazing feeling!
Aria rested her chin on her hands with her elbows on her knees as she pondered what she should do if it was her turn with the magic ball. Hogwarts was fun!

John was impressed by the way everyone was handling the ball. "Nice one, Toby!" he found himself calling when the Ravenclaw cast the water charm. Penelope had done good work as well. Adrian struggled a little, but when the two of them made eye contact he tried to give an encouraging smile. The way the ball attacked Addam was unique, and the kid handled it well... with a bit of amusement. Which, honestly, Harry encouraged. As Zeke floated the ball toward the ceiling Harry chuckled. "No need, I've got it," he raised his wand and non verbally brought the bubbled orb back to him. "Doing fairly well so far, everyone. Keep in mind that focus is key, but a little bit of fun doesn't hurt. That doesn't mean you should take pleasure in injuring someone, but if you stay on your toes with a little bit of lightness it'll be amazing how much more effective you are than when you're panicked," he explained. "Alright, Luke. It's all you," he popped the bubble with the counter spell, and the sphere seemed to pick up speed, and fury, as he spun rapid toward @luke with a vengeance, the red smoke appearing around it once more.

Brígh dashed into the classroom, positive she was late. Her cheeks were flushed a dark red as she skidded to a halt. The rest of the students were getting into a circle, and Bri noticed Professor Patil on the outskirts, watching. This was very strange. She'd never taken a duelling lesson before either, so she had genuinely no clue what she was doing. Bri squeezed into the circle next to a Gryffindor girl she recognised but couldn't recall her name, and shot her a grin. She twirled her wand between her fingers, nearly dropping it and causing sparks to fly out the tip. Embarrassed, Bri forced herself to stand still and pay attention to the professor.
Brígh watched with wide eyes, bouncing on the balls of her feet as the ball moved from person to person. Ezekiel captured the ball in a bubble, others deflected. It was an interesting idea. Bri tried to think of ways that she would face the ball, each option seeming more feeble than the last.

Professor Dent chuckled when he commented about how he was going to need another ball after letting the other one float to the ceiling. The professor assured him that there was no need for that, however, and Zeke rubbed the back of his neck as he watched the man magically retrieve the ball. “Thanks, Professor.” “Doing fairly well so far, everyone. Keep in mind that focus is key, but a little bit of fun doesn't hurt. That doesn't mean you should take pleasure in injuring someone, but if you stay on your toes with a little bit of lightness it'll be amazing how much more effective you are than when you're panicked.” Zeke nodded as Professor Dent gave his comments to the room. It was certainly good advice, and he made a mental note to try to remain on his toes. Even though it had just been his turn, maybe Professor Dent would throw a proverbial curveball and reverse the order or something… Who knew? Watching as Professor Dent neutralized the ball as though it had been the average basketball or Quaffle, Zeke waited. The ball would be going to Luke Weasley next, and it didn’t seem thrilled to have been subdued once. He briefly turned his head as another student entered the room, but—otherwise—he was waiting to see what Luke would do.

he'd been watching the sphere try and attack people with vigour and luke was a little glad he'd had the time to just observe how it worked. it seemed to consider each opponent before it set to send something hurtling their way and he wondered quickly what it's process was, whether it was a random occurrence or whether it was tailoring the attacks to the vibes people were putting off. he flinched a little for adrian as his fellow gryffindor copped a nasty shock for hesitating with his spell. he didn't think that professor dent would let anything the sphere could throw at them do more than hurt but it still wasn't a nice thing to watch.
he flexed his fingers around his wand a little, shifting his weight from foot to foot as he watched addam and zeke take their turns at subduing the sphere and he was impressed by the seemingly ease in which they were able to stop it's attacks. he listened when professor dent said to stay light, to keep on their toes and he was trying but the longer it took to become his turn the more he was thinking about what spells worked on what and whether it was just better to blow the thing up before it could let loose it's attack. he heard his name and it pulled him from his thoughts and he spotted the sphere start to spin angrily towards him, apparently somewhat pissed that they, so far, had been able to stop it from damaging them.
it slowed slightly as it approached him and he kept his eyes trained on it, turning his wand lightly in his fingers. it suddenly started to spin faster, sharp metal spikes quickly growing around it's case and it suddenly flew towards luke. he raised his wand and quickly moved it from side to side, forming a V as he spoke. "reducto!" he watched as the sphere suddenly burst into tony pieces of ash in what could only be called a dramatic display and he waved his hand in front of his mouth as it fell around him. "oops." he said as the ash settled on the ground. as quickly as the other sphere had been reduced to ash, a new one was being sent in by professor dent and luke nodded at him quickly before looking around to send it to someone else. "max, you ready?" he asked, sending it towards her.

Luke received the orb—ball, sphere, round thing, whatever it was actually called—from Professor Dent, and the momentary pause in the flow of the class was broken. The retrieved orb spun with a vengeance—almost as though it was sentient enough to have gotten angry with them, thought Zeke—and formed metal spikes on its exterior. Zeke, who was shocked and intrigued in about equal measure, looked on. The Gryffindor, in trying not to get sliced by the spikes that had formed, managed to reduce the orb to ash. “Oops.” Well, Zeke was glad that he wasn’t the only one who had more than successfully deflected what the magical orb had thrown his way. As before, Professor Dent had to bring a new ball into play. Knowing that it probably wouldn’t be his turn unless they were going in reverse order to shake things up, Zeke watched to see who would have to take on the challenge next. “Max, you ready?” Zeke’s gaze turned towards the Slytherin girl in the year below him, the same one who had asked the professor what would happen if they didn’t stop the ball before it got to them. If the ball could produce metal spikes like some sort of mace, what else could it do?
OOC: I will post Max in just a bit. Haha.
