Dracoposeduel

Draco dueling against Harry at the dueling club

The Duelling Club was started by Professor Gilderoy Lockhart when the Chamber of Secrets was opened during the 1992–1993 school year. He was given permission to teach students how to duel in an attempt to help them learn to protect themselves. Lockhart was joined by Professor Snape, who worked as his assistant. However, Lockhart merely made a fool out of himself as Snape's Disarming Charm sent him flying across the stage.

Known meetings

Snape: "Expelliarmus!"

During the first meeting, Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy duelled. When Draco conjured a snake to attack his opponent, it was angered by Lockhart who launched it into the air, and Harry learned, along with the rest of the school, that he was a Parselmouth when he stopped the snake from attacking Justin Finch-Fletchley. This led some to suspect that Harry was the Heir of Slytherin who had released the monster from the Chamber of Secrets.

Dueling club

Student audience.

Hermione Granger duelled Millicent Bulstrode in the club; despite a standard "no contact" rule in duelling, Millicent ended up putting Hermione in a headlock. Hermione later used the dark hair that came off Millicent's robes onto her own when she brewed Polyjuice Potion in her, Harry, and Ron's efforts to sneak into the Slytherin Common Room to find out who Slytherin's Heir was. The hair she used, however, ended up being from Millicent's cat. Ron Weasley duelled Seamus Finnigan where his spell went horribly wrong with his broken wand.

Disbandment

Presumably, the club was disbanded when Lockhart lost his memory and was removed as the Defence Against the Dark Arts professor. The Club was, though, reinstated by Headmaster Albus Dumbledore in 1996 as a precaution when Lord Voldemort had been officially announced at large once again. Each house, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, Slytherin and Gryffindor had their own head of duelling club member who acted as a leader and would arrange practice duels. Each house also had their own personal duelling area from which students of all houses could go to duel. [1]
