The wizarding world on has decided to expand on its on knowledge on the use of magic. Therefore, they began their research on foreign magic with in uncharted areas of the world. Suddenly, they have found an intriguing discovery of another world: The world of Spiral. Spiral’s use of magic has seemed odd for others due to some of their methods involve combining muggle technology with magic. Nether the less, Dumbledore took full advantage of this opportunity to learn from this new world and their ways. He then announced his new Idea to allow students from Spira in to Hogwarts to exchange spell knowledge. So far, every thing seems in order… Or so it seems.

The dueling Club (book 2)

The Students of Hogwarts gathered around in a small room. A long blue platform was in the middle room, nearly stretched from wall to wall. “ Okay, okay. Quiet down, now.” Lockhart said climbing up on the platform. He paced around the platform as if he was testing the strength of it. “ Now all of you are fully aware about the Situation we are in with the death eaters. And you all are fully aware never to encounter one. There is a high possibility you will be extremely hurt. Well, unless I am there with you. I would stare that Death eater down and make it run with his tail between his legs.” He boasted. He chuckled for a while before speaking again. “Well then. So to prepare for when you have to use your wizarding skills for defense, Dumbledore has instructed me to host this dueling club. You must all know, there are times when you won’t be able to escape combat. So this will prepare for that day.” He continued to pace scanning the sea of students. “ Now, I require a volunteer. Let’s see…” Every one began to raise their hands, hoping for them to be the one picked. “ Why don’t you pick the muggle from Spira. I’m sure he’ll be glad to show his Muggle magic.” Draco snorted. Everyone dropped their hands moving their gazes to the only one not wearing a Hogwarts robe: Maru. Instead he had a pair of jeans on that went with a Red T-shirt. He stood there a bit uncomfortable with the attention. “ Ah yes, Maru. If you don’t mind, would you be kind enough to assist me on a demonstration.” Lockhart asked. Maru was quiet for a second. “ May I ask, Maru? Where is your robe?” Snape asked in a calm yet intimidating tone “ Just because you are our guest from Spira does not mean you may wear what every you please.” “ I’m sorry sir.” Maru said. He walked towards the platform as sudden his clothes began to faintly glow. Both his shirt and pants began to grow longer as the fabric began to polymorph. The color started to shift to dark purple and black. A faint white aura surrounded him as his clothes began to continue transform. When he got on the platform, he was now in a full purple and black robe. His wizard hat sat on his head crooked and he was on hold a blue scepter with a crescent moon ornament on the top. Maru was slightly embarrassed. The students were astonished. “Splendid!” Lockhart said applauded. “ Wonderful demonstration, Maru. Using your magic to change your attire. How thoughtful of you. You know I’ve studied with the creator of this spell.” “ You’ve studied with the al bhed?” Maru asked. “ Err… Yes, of course. I knew him like a brother.” Maru could tell that he was lying.

“Now then. Stand behind me facing that way if you will. And I’ll stand the other way.” He instructed Maru. Maru did as he asked stand back to back with him in the middle of the platform. “Now step forward ten paces.” He said taking ten of his own. So did Maru. “Now turn around… and on the count of 3, I want to you to cast you spells right at me. Don’t be afraid to not hold back. I will be fine, Maru.” Maru got ready, raising his scepter. Lockhart began to count. “1…2…3…” he announced. As soon as he said three, Maru flicked his wand outward towards Lockhart. “FIRA!” he exclaimed as a series of fireballs shot out of his scepter at him. Lockhart hesitated to cast a spell and the fireballs made contact with him, blast him back in to the wall. Snape and some of the students came to his aid as they helped him up. “ Splendid work of Spira’s Wizardry, Maru.” He said with a little laugh. “ I did not expect for your spell to be so strong. Good thing I cast a Flame freezing charm at the nick of time. I would have been burned if I didn’t.” “ Excuse me, professor. When did you cast that charm? It looked as if you hesitated to act.” Hermione asked. She noticed he never actually spoke to cast a charm. “ Ah, Hermione. You should have noticed I mutter the charm to my self.” “ But professor?” “Now then. I best not take all the fun. How about we have someone else duel Maru. How about uh…Ah, you Harry!” the truth was that Lockhart no doubt got hit by the spell Maru cast. However, it was pure dumb luck that the flames did not catch his robes on fire. but a there were parts of the robe that were slightly singed by the spell. Lockhart made sure no one saw those marks.

"no Lockhart. I don't believe that Harry is not adequate to challenge our...Guest." Snape said Glaring at harry for a brief moment. "may I reccomend Draco Malfoy instead." "Ah. well then. Malfoy it is. Now, you don't mind Malfoy?" Lockhart said. Malfoy climbed up to the dueling platform as him and Maru met up at the center, staring each other down with great intesity. "wands up. err...and scepters." lockhart commanded. both combatants raise there weapons. "scared muggle?" Draco hissed at Maru. " yeah, by the fact that I'm going to over do beating you up." Maru retorted. "ten paces." lockhart command. the both took ten paces away from the center. " now. on the count of 3, I want to cast your spell ONLY to disarm the the opponent. that is all. now...1...2...3." then the battle began.

"BLIZZARA!" Maru shout lashing his scepter forward and taking advantage of the first strike. A burst of sharp Ice and cold snow Burst from his scepter and went straight at Draco. The shard of ice pierce through his robes cutting him and blowing him back several feet. A pile of snow was where he laid at. " woops, Sorry." Maru apologized. He didn't expected it to be so powerful. Draco jumped on back to his feet. gritting his teeth from the sudden draft he experienced. he found his wand in the mound of snow and point in at Maru. "CONJUNCTIVITUS CURSE!" He growled at him. suddenly Maru's eyes instantly flared with pain. it felt as if some one was stabbing them repeatedly. he fell on one of his knees holding on to his face and groaning in pain. " wait, you two. I told you only to disarm the other." lockhart said. Maru got back on to his Legs, Forcing him to stand up. he gripped his scepter and aim it at Draco, forcing his eyes open. " AERO!" he Manage to say. a small Gale of will dart straight at Draco. It land hitting draco chest, making him slightly winded. he smirk at the fact that he was still on his feet. Maru was still back on his hands and knees, Greving at the pain of the Cojunctivitus Curse. " not so tough now, Muggle." he snorted at me as he readied another spell. "SERPENSORTIA!" He yelled as a burst of light came out of the tip of his wand. Out came a Green Snake that plop on the platform and slithered towards Maru. Maru forced himself up again as he saw the serpant crawl towards as it glared right at me with the intention to strike at him. once again he gripped his scepter. "FIRA" He said in gritted teeth. as fire sprouted at the snake, burning it to ashes. He collasped on the ground again. this curse was really getting to him. He doesn't know how much he could take of this. "RICTUSEMPRA!" Draco yelled. A stream of silver energy. emerged from his wand hitting Maru dead on and knocking him down. Maru didn't get up this time. he rolled over, cringing in pain. " pathetic. how did you even get invited into this school?" Draco said holding the wand over his groin area. "Aquamenti!" he yelled. a small gyser of water spuirted out of his wand, spraying Maru as he laid there grunting in pain. " here, have a drink. you look like you can use one." the slytherin students laughed at his joke. " Stop it, Malfoy." Chandra yelled at Him. " why don't you stop me your self? huh?" he stopped the spell then pointed the wand at her. " come on. I dare you." " Malfoy, your opponent is-" "shut up Lockhart." Draco retorted at him. " so if you're so brave chandra, why don't you come and duel me?" " Hey! I'm not done with you yet." Maru said stumbling to get up. "give up already, stupid muggle!" he said approaching him. his wand pointed at him, ready for him to cast. Chandra quickly pulled out her wand, aiming it at Draco. "Jelly hand curse." she muttered to herself and Draco dropped his wand automatically. scrambling to pick it up, Maru took advantage of this moment. he raise his scepter again. "THUNDEGA!" he shouted at Draco. Purple Cackling lighting Pulsed through his scepter and Blasted outward to Draco as he was zapped by thousands of lightning bolts. the spell gave out such a flash, lit up the room blinding everyone inside. Draco was blasted away from the impact, slamming into the wall and falling down with a great thud.

"that's enough!" Snape said going to Malfoy. the griffindor students cheered. so did others. Harry, Hermoine, Chandra, and ron went up to Maru, helping him get down. " you okay, Maru?" Harry said. " I would be if I can get this curse out of eyes." Maru said cracking a smile, still in pain. " I'll take care of that." Chandra said pointing her wand at his eyes. she gave it a flick. " Finite Incantatem." she pronounce. the curse was then lifted and pain dissipated from Maru's eyes. "thanks." he said relieved. " Yes, yes, yes. Splendid battle. Um...let's pick up again later tommorrow at three sharp. I hope to see all then. very good demonstration Maru and Draco." Lockhart said. the students started to disperse. so did lockhart. "Maru!" Snaped hissed at him which stopped him. " I would like to have a word with you and Chandra." Hermoine, Harry, and Ron began to walk away. " sorry you two." ron whispered to them. Snape went up to both of them with a glare in his eyes. " now if you don't Maru, what kind of spell you just used on Malfoy?" he said. he kept his intimidating tone. " um...a high level Offensive spell." Maru said hesitating for a sec. Snape kept his Eyes fixed on him. " Now, Maru know this. I do not tolerate any rule breaking or any horse play of any sort. Malfoy is injured and If you wish to duel again I will not allow your wizardry you've learned from spira. you will use only spells we have taught you here. are we clear?" "but Sir I just-" " Are we clear?!" "... yes sir." "good. now tommorrow, I want you to be in Hogwarts uniform and not this this atrocious attire. And I want you to be dress WITHOUT any use of any spells." " but sir I just used a dress sphere." " Or any enchanted items of any sort. Please see professor mcgonagall for your uniform. Understood?" "yes sir." Snape kept his glare on the to for a second. " by the way, What house do you belong in?" "Griffindor sir." chandra anwsered for him. " I did not asked you miss Devi. I was adressing the question to him." Maru was silent for a while. then he finally spoke. " umm...griffindor, sir." but the truth was he didn't know. " very well then...200 points will be taken from Griffindor." "WHAT?! WHAT FOR?!" Chandra exclaimed. " for maru showing off his "attire changing item" and using a unreasonably strong spell to disarm Draco. And for you miss devi for interfering with the deul with Maru and draco." Chandra tried to look innocent in the accusation. " And because Maru is in the griffindor house." Snape finally said before leaving them. " geez, why can't he just go to his little emo corner and cut him self to death." Chandra whispered to Maru as Snape left. " do you always get harrassed by him here?" Maru asked. " not always. he usually does this because he hate him self and is an emo." "odd. he's more like the ***** type to me." Maru said laughing. Chandra joined them as they left the deuling room.
