It was a dreadful day because it was pouring down rain with thunder rumbling in the background, along with the occasional lightning strike that seemed to scare most of the students, followed by a slight shriek heard echoing throughout the castle. This was normal activity for Hogwarts on days like this. The Students anxiety would rise and the littlest things would startle them. As for Argahlon Vexius, he was currently strolling through the halls with a book gripped tightly to their right hand, and pulled the hood of their school robe up over his head. Every once in a while the young Gryffindor would glance down at the book and quickly put their attention back ahead to see where he was going.
Argahlon Vexius was traveling down the winding stairs, trying to make their way towards the Defense Against The Dark Arts classroom, so that he may have a word with the professor about the latest assignment that was demanded of the second year students. It wasn’t very urgent at the time, but the young Gryffindor did have some questions regarding the lesson. One way or another, Arg did not plan on stopping for any other means. That was until, on the fourth floor of the castle, Arg was casually walking and out of nowhere someone popped out of the Dueling Club. BAM!! The two collided and the book that was in Arg’s hand went flying, then he started to stumble, and he finally caught himself up against the side of the wall.
"Watch where you are goin’!" Argahlon Vexius paused for a second, tilting his head slightly, before finally noticing who it was that he mistakenly ran into. "Oi, if it isn’t Raizel, the one who can barely fly a broom. " Argahlon looked at the sign of the room and the rules that followed, before putting his full attention back on his fellow Gryffindor. "Can’t fly a broom, so you’ve come here to learn how to use a wand? I doubt that is going well on your end." He continued on picking at the young girl for the things that have happened in the past. Whether or not she would respond, he picked up the book that was laying on the ground, and gave Raizel a dirty look as he stood back up straight.

❂《 ⌜ --- ▎ --:-- ⌟▛▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔Raizel was not in the mood but when was she in such a state? With all the things that had happened, it was a miracle that she hadn't snapped, letting out that building frustration. Well, today could be the day for her to finally let loose and just let that rage consume her as this encounter unfolds.
She was on her way to the Duelling Club. While she was too lazy to do so, as an official member of the Duelling Team, she can't let them down by letting the laziness stop her from continuing to honing her skills even though there doesn't seem to be any improvement at all. Better than nothing. Practicing with a training dummy was a lot different than when sparring with someone and sometimes, it gets a bit boring. For someone who kept losing her duels, one would tell her to just practice with training dummies, she's not the type of person who would listen to them.
It was when she decided to get some fresh air after a practice that the encounter happened. The moment she stepped out of the duelling club, she bumped into someone and just when she was about to apologize, insults came after and not just from a random person but from someone that she considers as a friend. A chuckle escaped her but nothing about it was friendly nor happy. "Acting high and mighty now are we?" She scoffed. She was not having it. Usually, she would just ignore it, let them talk to the air but no. She could fight here, right now. Rules? What rules?
She gave him a glare of her own, not backing down. "Got nothing to do? Why not bother someone else and why don't we see if things aren't going well huh? That piste is always free." Raizel gave Argahlon one last look before making her way back to the duelling club.

Miss Voultrouz was having none of Argahlon’s ignorance. She stood her ground and roared back with a quick response. One that sent emotions throughout the redhead's entire body. He was not prepared for what was said, which caused him to grin ear to ear and within a few seconds, Arg was already planning something. Right as Raizel began to walk back into the Duelling Club, Argahlon Vexius put their foot out in front of himself, hoping to trip up the young Gryffindor on their way inside the room. "Watch your step, dorcus!" Whether or not Rai was tripped up by Argahlon’s foot, he stood back with one hand holding the book, and the other at the spine of his back.
These two were friends once, or at least that is what they thought from their time together during the first year at Hogwarts. Whatever was going on with Arg, he had no issues with lashing out on others, even if they were his so-called friends. "Tch." Escaped Arg’s lips, as he stood by and watched the events unfold. Their friendship was certainly going to be ruined after this encounter, and it seemed that Argahlon didn’t care one bit. It was as if the young Gryffindor was pushing everyone away to deal with his own personal problems. One thing he knew, though, that this was only just the beginning of their little spout.

❂《 ⌜ --- ▎ --:-- ⌟▛▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔One of the things that Raizel strictly followed before was avoiding conflict if she could but that doesn't mean she is a coward but rather she'd rather not waste her energy on something trivial. This one, it could've been one of those things. She could've avoided it by ignoring Argahlon's pickings, it was easy enough for her and let them get frustrated but she was feeling fighty right now. Him trying to trip her had just given the last push to finally embrace violence as an answer.
The girl tumbled forward but she caught herself before she could completely fall. She took a deep breath as she stood there, trying to calm down but no, she was not gonna let anything like this slide. It was time to fully embrace the lion within. She turned back, hands reaching for the boy's collar, pulling him close. "Guess that means you want to settle this right here, right now?" Raizel growled, her hands clenched and ready to sock him right on the nose.
There was no fear in her eyes, even prefects and rules aren't gonna stop her right now. It wasn't her looking for a fight, it was this guy. Yes, Argahlon doesn't deserve to be in her list of friends right now. He is nothing but a stranger to her. All of her respect for him was gone but that is how he wants this to be. He started the fire, not her, she's simply keeping it burning for that seems to be what he wants then that's what he'll get. "Instead of tripping someone behind their back, why not fight like a lion you coward!" Instead of a punch though, she went for a headbutt before pushing him back. While that definitely hurts her as well, she didn't care.

Raizel was fed up and had enough. In a split second, the young girl slammed their head right against Argahlon’s nose. The bone crunched and sent the Gryffindor stumbling back onto their butt. Tears began to swell up within his eyes, but Arg was far too furious to cry. The tears were quickly absorbed back in, then the bloody Gryffindor stood up, and sprinted right for Raizel. His nose was most certainly broken with blood dripping onto the floor at the same time. But Arg was raging, hoping to not only drop the young girl, but to end up beating her senseless in the process.
The duo were out in the corridors and things were now serious. Anger had replaced any emotion within both Gryffindor students and that was enough for them to not care what would happen as a consequence to their actions. Even the pain that Arg felt at first slipped away into a pure rage that sent him over the edge, and stormed straight for Raizel.
Just when Argahlon neared his fellow Gryffindor, he quickly lowered his shoulder and attempted to slam it into the gut of Raizel, hoping to take her to the ground with his body still on top of her’s. If the spear worked, it would have thrown them both through the entrance of the Duelling Club. "Do you really think I wanted to be in this house? I am the snake in the grass that you will always have to worry about. Not some lazy lion, relying on others for everything." He spoke in a cold tone, then raised his right fist, and attempted to slam it down right against Raizel’s mouth.

❂《 ⌜ --- ▎ --:-- ⌟▛▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔Pain followed after but what was she expecting? Then again, it wasn't her who started all this. That's right, this guy insulted her out of nowhere when she was minding her own business. It was about time that she stopped being kind, to let them know that even she could give them a nasty bite, make them regret by thinking that she is an easy target and free to pick on.
A strong attack hit her right on her gut, knocking the air out of her and before she knew it, she was on the floor inside the dueling club with the boy just above her. A coppery taste soon filled her mouth as the boy's second attack connected. It took her a couple of seconds before she finally got to reply, a smirk appearing on her face despite the pain. "So what? You're not special so why would I worry about you?" Raizel clenched her fist and returned the favor back to Argahlon by trying to punch him right on his cheeks to get him off of her.
Seriously though, what's with all these Slytherins and Slytherin wannabe all going for her. What did she even do to them? Perhaps it was really the time to spice things up a bit. "And just because you didn't get what you want means you can just randomly pick on someone who's minding their own business." She thinks that this boy is just lashing out because of something childish. What else could he be doing this anyway? Why would you start something with someone who was doing their own thing other than to take it out on them just because you didn't get what you want?
"You make it sound like it's just the lions that rely on friendship when it's more of a people thing than a stereotype." She clicked her tongue in annoyance, getting up from the floor and wiping the blood off of her mouth. This is a total waste of her time. "Go bother someone else with your childish tantrums you dumbass."

Argahlon Vexius had no issues with taking down Raizel and punching her on the mouth. It was not just a bunch of pent up anger that caused this, but the sudden collision from the two in front of the Duelling Club. Did Arg intend for this to happen? No, Raizel had just popped out at the wrong time. A time where Argahlon himself was fighting demons nobody knew about. Her voice alone caused him to cringe but in a matter of seconds, Arg was struck again, and flung off Raizel altogether. He hit the ground and began to laugh, ignoring the pain that was swelling up within.
There was silence and a small stare off, as Argahlon was still on the ground, listening to everything that Rai was trying to say. The insults kept coming and Arg continued to smirk from where he was. Both hands on the ground, which were holding up his top half, as his legs just laid there for the time being. "Tch!" He felt the throbbing coming from his entire face, not only from the headbutt but the punch to his jaw as well.
When Raizel finally began to stand back to their feet, Argahlon did the same exact thing. He was not backing down, nor letting Rai get away with anything that just happened. This was just the beginning, and Arg was ready for everything that would be thrown at him. "That’s a lot of talk coming from a failure. This fight here is probably the most heart you have shown in the last two years, ya dorcus." Argahlon reached for their wand and pulled out the black, twisted item from the inside of his robe, ready to attack Raizel whenever he felt ready.

❂《 ⌜ --- ▎ --:-- ⌟▛▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔The usual calm and emotionless look on her face had returned as Argahlon stood up from the ground, her interest on him dwindling as this is a fight that she sees as nothing but a waste of time and this boy before her, even though he just called her a failure, was someone that wasn't worth her time and attention. "Uh huh yeah, sure, talk to the air. You only won once and you're already so high up on your pedestal. Better look down before you hurt yourself up there." She waved it off and was ready to leave anytime soon.
"But don't worry, since you think you're great, let me build a shrine for you. Bet you'll like that." Yes, she's being serious. If one thinks that they are so high above the ground that gives them the right to call someone a failure just because of a few losses, they'll love being worshiped. But of course, no worship from her.
One thing that she could do is ignore someone who isn't worth anything. She turned her back on him at that moment, taking a quick glance over her shoulder to see him pointing his wand at her. She would've done the same but she made a promise to herself that she won't draw her wand when she's not on that piste or unless necessary and worth it. The Gryffindor girl only gave him a deadpan stare. Nothing changed though, she was still willing to leave him. He says she's a failure and yet here he is, still trying to get into her skin. What can he even get from it? Whatever it was, he's not getting any from her. This dumbass sure has a lot of free time in his hands, so full of himself that he thinks it's okay to waste someone else's time to feed his own ego.

Lea spent most of her time in the duelling room now. Between captaincy, moderation, and her own practice it hardly seemed worth exiting the space for long. She could even do homework in here if she so desired, especially so if it was about testing and recreating some new spell learned. Sure, the Hufflepuff was bound to eventually learn balance or get slapped in the face by reality but that day had yet to come as she examined the placed mannequins before aiming her wand to hit the two of them with one spell, the gust of wind hurtling them back. There had been a bit of hope that yet another gust would form to hit some of the nearby targets, but that did not prove to be the case. Tricky...
A crash quickly became the top of her priority, robes swirling around as Lea quickly twisted to see what the commotion had been. Two students, knocked onto the ground, both clearly agressive and already previously injured- likely to be continuing this fight shortly if someone didn't step in. For better or worse, it would be Lea that walked over, standing over them with an unimpressed look. So much for figuring out gusts of wind, she would have to admit that this was more interesting anyways. Especially so when she realized the familiar face- Raizel was in the middle of this and currently tackled to the ground?
"What an entrance." She called out sarcastically, looking to get their attention. "But even here, fighting with your fists and tackling each other isn't allowed." Not that Lea could really do much, pulling them apart was not really an option with her little strength, but she did still have a wand in hand and some... convincing spells learned. A flourish of her own wand would act as potential warning enough to suggest she was more than willing to hex them should they fall further out of line. "If you happen to duel though... Well, it's a fight that I can't stop." She had no assumption that they would just stop nor did the Hufflepuff really want to go someone for a nearby prefect or professor, so Lea only really left them with one choice. A hopefully appealing choice that would keep them a bit safer and separated as the Fourth Year waited for them to get up before walking away towards one of the pistes and waiting for them. Time to see how well Lea could convince some angry second years-
InformationGood luck!

This was no longer a fight to Argahlon. It was a war, one that he would bring to Rai’s door every chance they got. There was nothing that could change that decision, and Arg was going to make Rai’s life hell no matter the cost. And with blood still trickling from their nose and mouth, Arg was ready to attack so this would end right here and now, but that all changed when a voice echoed throughout the Duelling Club.
The unfamiliar voice that rang out towards them both was none other than Lea Hirsch. The glare on her face said it all. She was not pleased at all with what happened right in front of the entrance of the Duelling Club. Arg wiped the blood from his face, then glanced back towards Raizel once more, and finally put their full attention on Lea. "Whether if it is with my wand or fists I don’t care." Arg replied, and spit blood down onto the floor before moving towards the piste.
Argahlon was pissed off beyond belief, but thanks to Lea they were going to try and settle this with an unofficial duel. Something Arg didn’t know anything about, and at the moment he did not care. He knew how to use spells, so what could possibly be so hard about this? Time would tell if the young Gryffindor would be good at dueling, but he looked over his shoulder one last time before stepping to the piste. "Well, don’t make us wait, dorcus." He taunted Raizel one last time before doing as instructed by Lea Hirsch.
