Sorry
for the long delay. I was having a
touch of writer’s block on this one. I
now have an outline to the end of this story.
Looks like 45 or 46 chapters in total.
I will try hard to get them out faster (if I can stop reading other
peoples’ story long enough). I hope you
enjoy this one.
Chapter 32: Dueling Club Begins
The
next few weeks went by quickly. Harry
settled into a routine of teaching and attending his other classes during the
day, studying, Quidditch and spending time with either his friends or Remus
during the evenings. It was now time to
add the dueling club to that.
Harry was sitting in the Great Hall on Monday morning eating his
breakfast when Professor Dumbledore called for everyone’s attention for some
announcements.
“
Attention students,” he began. “ I have
two announcements to make. First
Professor Lupin and Mr. Potter will be starting up a dueling club starting this
week. It is open to all second year and
up students. There will be strict
guideline to follow and any students that violate the rules will be expelled
from the club and will be sent to me for disciplinary action.
add?”
Remus
stood up. “ Thank you Headmaster.
students over first year. In the future
the club will be divided into groups by grade and skill level.
here at 8:00pm. Thank you.”
Dumbledore
stood back up. “ Thank you Professor
Lupin. I am pleased to announce that a
ball will be held on Halloween. It is
open to students fourth year and up.”
The
hall was filled with excited voices.
Harry moaned and shook his head. He could see many glances his way from
giggling girls. ‘ Bloody
marvelous! Those damnable girls bug me
as it is now it will become unbearable.’
He glanced at Hermione. ‘ Five,
four, three, two…’
“
Who are you going to ask to the ball Harry?”
“
No one,” grumbled Harry.
“
Why not? I’m sure they are plenty of
girls that would like to go to the ball with you.”
“ I
have no intention of going to the ball,” Harry said irritably.
could nag him some more.

When
Remus came home Harry was sprawled on the sofa in the sitting room banging his
head on the arm on the sofa. He went
over to the frustrated young man and kissed him on the forehead.
“
Bad day?”
Harry
snorted. “ I feel like hexing Professor
Dumbledore for having that stupid ball.
Between Hermione’s nagging and the giggling girls batting their
eyelashes at me I swear I’m ready to AK someone.”
Remus
lay down beside Harry and wrapped him in his arms. “I know what you mean.
Hearing girls plotting to ask you to the ball all day was not pleasant
for me either.” He kissed Harry
possessively. “ I wanted to growl “
he’s mine, hands off.”
Harry
chuckled. “ Do you think Malfoy will
come to the meeting tonight? We could use him as a practice dummy, relieve some
stress.”
“
Harry!”
“
Gees! It was just a thought,” Harry
smirked.
“ I
can think of a few ways to relieve some of your stress,” said Remus
seductively.
“
Really? What do you have in mind?”
“
I’ll just have to show you.” Remus
kissed Harry hungrily rolling them over so he straddled the young man. Remus
kissed his way down his young lover’s body, unbuttoning as he went.
‘Much
better’ thought Harry as his stress melted away in a series of gasps and moans.

Later
that evening:
“
Harry are you ready to go?” Remus was
standing in the sitting room waiting for Harry.
“
Coming,” yelled Harry from his suite.
Harry rushed through the connecting door, tying his hair back as he
went. He stopped in front of Remus and
gave him a peak on the lips. He stepped
back and gave Remus an appraising look.
“ You look hot,” he said licking his lips.
“
You look great as well,” said Remus.
Both
men had on dragon-hide dueling robes.
Harry’s was an indigo color with green trim and Remus’ black with red
trim. The robes fit snug across their
chests, split and flared at the hip for easy movement.
Remus
gulped. “ Come on we have to go.
They
left their rooms and hurried to the Great Hall. They entered through the staff door and stopped to observe the
crowd gathering.
“
Looks like the majority of the students are here,” said Harry.
“ I
had hoped for a good turnout but this is amazing. I guess some of them wanted to see Harry Potter in action,” Remus
smirked.
Harry
rolled his eyes. “ Ha bloody ha! Well
should we get started?”
“
Yes let’s.”
They
stepped out into sight of the students.
The noise level in the room increased, girls (and a few guys) talking
excitedly about Harry and Remus’ attire.
Remus cast a sonorus charm on himself.
“Attention
everyone,” the students quieted down.
“Let’s get started, please find a seat.”
The
students sat down in the rows of benches surrounding the dueling stage.
“Thank
you for coming tonight. Tonight is an
orientation night. The club will be
broken up into three groups, second and third years, fourth and fifth years and
finally sixth and seventh years. After
we have had time to evaluate your skill level you may move up a level if you
are skilled enough to complete with older years. There are a few rules. No
dangerous or dark hexes or curses will be tolerated. Attempts to seriously injure fellow students will lead to
immediate expulsion of the club and possible school expulsion as well.
your skills.” He nodded to Harry to
continue.
“
We will alternate dueling nights and instruction nights.
randomly. Hopefully this will give you
all a chance to experience different styles of dueling.”
Remus erected a shield around the platform. “ I have placed a shield around the platform to you all from
stray or rebound spells however you should still be ready to duck should
anything get through it.” He chuckled inside at the expressions on some of the
students’ faces.
Harry
and Remus faced off bowed and got into a ready stance.

at each other, which they dodged effortlessly.
Spells flew fats and furiously.
They dodged and rolled, erecting shield after shield.
finally Harry landed a stunner on Remus and won the duel.
students in a round of applause.
“
Well done Harry’” he turned to the students once more. “ No that you have seen
a demonstration of a duel will you please arrange yourselves into class
groups. Second and third years to the
far left of the hall please. Fourth and
fifth years to the right side of the hall.
The other years please stay here.”
There
was a lot of noise as the students moved to their assigned spots.

“
Hermione I need you to work with the younger students tonight.
working in pairs on disarming.”
“
Certainly Professor,” said Hermione. She
went over to the group of second and third years and started working with
them. Harry and Remus did the same
thing with their groups. After an hour
Remus called the groups back together.
“
That all for tonight. Further meeting
will be in the Room of Requirements. It
is located on the seventh floor opposite the tapestry of Barnabus the
Barmy. Watch for notices of times and
dates for your group on your house notice board. Good night everyone.”
The
students left the Hall chanting excitedly among themselves.

“
Great job mate,” said Ron.
“
Yeah the duel was very exciting too,” exclaimed Ginny.
“
Thanks guys,” said Harry.
“
Thank you Hermione for helping tonight,” said Remus.
“
It was my pleasure,” she said.
“
You have better go back to your common room.
You don’t want to be late for curfew,” said Remus.
“
Right Professor, see you tomorrow Harry,” said Hermione.

Harry
and Remus banished the stage to the Room of Requirements and set the Hall back
to normal. When they were finished
Remus yawned loudly.
“
You must be tired love, the full moon is only days away?”
“ I
am feeling a little drained,” admitted Remus.
“
What do you say to a hot bath and a massage afterwards,” asked Harry.
“
Sounds heavenly.”
They
two headed of to their rooms, a hot bath calling their names.
