As for a Dueling Club, I have always wanted to join one. I need to practise and add some good spells to my repertoire, which can not only help me now, but can also come in handy in my future in the wizarding world. Although I am not an aspiring Auror, I am sure all of us want to know how to protect ourselves from potential threats from dark wizards and witches in future. Being able to rely on oneself when in danger from an enemy is a useful skill to have, because it may not necessarily be always true that someone may have our back. Who knows we may end up facing a Third Wizarding War or yet another Battle of Hogwarts some day. It will also be effective against bullies. If not any of these, it is a great opportunity to learn how to be a skilled contender and attention-grabbing duelist for dueling competitions. I always love competitions and it's not fun to join not to win. : ) While winning is not guaranteed, practicing one's skills always helps increase the chances of victory. Therefore, when I heard about a Dueling Club, and when I read about it in the school newspaper, I was extremely excited. While I am not one to engage in too many physical pursuits without motivation, a Dueling club would be just the motivation I need to flex my physical, mental, and magical muscles on a regular basis without losing focus and keep myself physically, mentally, and magically active. It would work much like a gym-membership with a fixed schedule, that helps one stay on track and workout regularly without losing motivation. While I am thus very excited, I am also slightly nervous, because being a Muggle-born witch, I hadn't watched duels using magic until I came to Hogwarts, so all of it may be a bit new to me and it may take me some time to adjust to replacing the urge to kick or box with the urge to cast a spell quickly. I am excited to learn as many offensive and defensive spells as possible, whether common or uncommon, so that I have a lot of spells in my repertoire to resort to when in need of these. However, I will start slow and focus on perfecting each spell as I go, rather than trying to perfect many spells together, otherwise I will practically learn nothing. I am looking forward to joining this Dueling Club and having fun with all the people who have joined the same for the same purpose. Moreover, socializing in the Dueling Club is yet another good way to stay motivated for it.
