38 Duelling Club

Author: this is a fix-up. sorry for my mistakes and thank you for picking up on it.

******************************************************

It had been a few weeks since the events from the Chamber of Secrets. The group had decided that the adventures they had were enough for a day and that they would visit the place again after some time. Currently they were standing around a duelling stage, upon which were two random students practicing and displaying their skills. It had been a few weeks since Dumbledore's orders came through and the Duelling Club was established. Most students in the recent years had mana capacity and knowledge far surpassing heir previous counterparts and Dumbledore thought they needed to learn to hone their skills further and be ready for anything. If it went according to the movies, the students would be practising the Disarming Spell but that was stuff the students knew before Year One and so the great Hall was enchanted by the teachers for it to be able to withstand the spells and attacks from the students.

Right now the two students were displaying their skills using the Disarming spell and `Bang!' just like that, one of them was disarmed and was sent flying, leaving the winner to give out an arrogant smirk. ``Good work Draco! That was awesome!'' the Slytherin house came over and started to praise Draco for his easy victory but the thick-headed Malfoy ignored them and went over to his opponent to give him a hand. This would have been a shocking sight for Jack and his friends when the Duelling Club first started but now it was a common sight. Draco, under his Mother's influence had become a better person and was now a much more likeable person. But the change wasn't instant as changing a thick-headed person takes time.

After Lucius Malfoy and his `friends' had been sent to prison for their crimes, Draco's mother had tried to better her son's behaviour and although he had stopped bullying people, it didn't stop him from hating Harry and his friends for a while and this led to Draco doing something stupid at the start of the club. ``Potter! How about we pair up instead?'' Jack didn't know what it was but he and almost everyone else present felt the urge to punch Draco in the face. `Is it the way he spoke or his face? What is it man?!' these were the thoughts in everyone's mind including Harry who obviously said, ``Sure! Let's go!''

The two jumped onto the stage and almost instantly there was a circle of people around the stage and Jack and his friends had to remind their fellow students to put up their shields in case of an accident. Meanwhile, the two `arch-nemesis' had started the duel traditions and started to walk away from each other. when they reached the last step, Harry used the insta-cast ability he learned from Jack to disarm Draco, ``Expelliarmus!'' everyone expected for Draco to be disarmed by now but instead Draco was able defend himself, ``Protego!'' Jack and his friends were shocked, it was entirely possible to use Protego to defend from the Expelliarmus Spell but the one casting the spell was Harry.

He had a XXXXXX level Phantom, Mana Core and a Divine Animagus transformation and although he hadn't even used a Tenth of his full strength, the percentage he had used would be capable of beating most Seventh Year Hogwarts Students. ``Haha! Surprised Potter, I trained the entire holidays and I continued to train even in Hogwarts and I am thankful to your friend Williams for his encouragement!'' Jack was about to use his Golden Sharingan to find out the reasons behind Draco's power up but Draco practically gave him the answer.

The reason him and his group were strong was because of three reasons, their training, their resources and their knowledge. Now the Malfoy family had both resources and knowledge but Draco was just missing the training and now he had filled it nicely. Just to be sure, Jack used his Golden Sharingan to discreetly scan Draco's body and was able to confirm his thoughts, `Hmm! he was able to increase his Mana Reserves and was even able to liquefy the Magical Energy inside of him! It looks like we need to spend more time outside otherwise we won't even know when an enemy has increased his power and we were too late to stop them!'

Meanwhile, Draco fired one Disarming Spell after another and his speed, angle and power depicted the intense regime he had gone under but unfortunately he hadn't even come close to the level of training Harry had done and thus the fight's result was already written in stone. ``Expelliarmus!!'' this time Harry used a little bit more power and disarmed Draco and sent him flying like Snape had done to Lockhart. But unlike their previous conflicts resolution, no one laughed at Malfoy and instead an applause broke out for the brilliant display of Magic from both wizards.

Ever since then, there hadn't been any hate between Draco and Jack's groups just friendly rivalry.
