I was wondering if someone could tell me what this BB code does

It appears to be an anchor code. I've never been great at anchors, but it anchors/links to certain points within that page/post. So..

Using this example from @Dealla Prince's announcement post [here] (crediting just because I went searching for an example and this was the first one I saw), she used the anchoring feature to link to specific parts of the announcement-


She set up the PZ anchor (a section that says in the above screenshot, and when you click on the link that leads to Petting Zoo, you are clicking the PZ anchor link that leads you to that specific part within that post.

Basically from what I can tell, looking at it, you set up the defining term or command- like [url=#PZ]Petting Zoo[/url] somewhere, like a table of content, then you go to the section that talks about the Petting Zoo and put in the .

Which spells are dueling spells (and attack spells)? Also can you acquire these through homework in the first year?

Here is the complete list of dueling spells. There are multiple that you can acquire in your first year, particularly in DADA, and these are listed on the linked page as well.
