I'm not a professor. Mr. Barton'll do.

[That line is all too commonly said by the coach.

After helping Danny to his feet, he turns to the crowd of gathered people.]

Offensive and Defensive spells are not the only ones used in duelling. Duelists often have to use hexes and charms to prevent their opponents from incanting stronger spells. Ones like the Tounge-Tying Jinx are often invaulable.

Oh, right.

*Danny stays a little off to the side, facing the crowd but clearly listening with total attention.*

[compromisedarrow]

[Clint walks over and claps Danny on the shoulder.]

Well done, five points to Slytherin. You can get a lot better, though.

[ghostboy]

*Danny grins back, straightening.*

By practicing more? *It's the improve-all response he's always been given, but if there's anything else left to do, then it's worth asking. He's made up his mind: dueling is awesome and he wants to be awesome at it.*

[compromisedarrow]

Yep. [He pats Danny's shoulder.] So I expect to see you here more often. If you need any help, let me know.

[ghostboy]

*Danny nods once, putting enough feeling into the gesture that it comes out wide.*

Sure thing, Pro--uh--Mister Barton! To both of those. I mean, I'll be here.

*Danny takes that as his cue to re-join the crowd, standing just a little taller than he had when he'd scrambled up the first time. Guess who's just gained himself a little groupie with some well-placed praise and dueling demonstration?*

*At least Barton will never have a day with no attendance.*
