I am here to make you feel welcome and needed by Jozua Sparks
After talking with Joe about it, and considering it again on his own later, Jozua was definitely leaning toward the new guy, Professor Nash, as his replacement Dueling Club instructor/adviser now that Professor Pye was no longer available for the position. Really, the only argument Jozua could come up with against Nash was that Jozua was reluctant to approach a person he didn't actually know to ask a favor of this magnitude, but Joe had put a spin on it that even mitigated that point.Asking a new teacher to be a club adviser - according to Joe - was apparently sign of being welcomed and accepted at the school. Jozua certainly didn't want the guy not to feel these things.
So here he was at Nash's office door. He took deep breath and knocked. When he was invited in, Jozua did so with more assumed confidence than he actually felt, but timidity was not a trait for a duelist and so he couldn't show any of that for this most important of requests.
"Hi, I'm Jozua Sparks," he introduced himself. "I'm the president of the Dueling Club," he added, by way of explanation for why a third year was even talking to the guy when Nash only taught advanced classes. "With Professor Pye gone, I was wondering . . . would you be our dueling instructor?"

You're a little short for a welcome wagon by Professor Nash
Danie invited the person knocking into his office and was surprised to see a boy who was definitely too young to be in advanced classes. "Can I help you?" he asked in a tone of voice that suggested he doubted that to be the case, but the boy made a convincing opening argument that Daniel was wrong on that front.A dueling club. Huh. That was unexpected.
Dueling was not really his strongest skill set in the DADA family of studies - he'd had a far greater focus on the mind magics area, though admittedly his interest was more in the vein of treating psychological illnesses than the more defensive applications most DADA courses would cover. He'd taken a good. number of those courses anyway, though, for a more complete idea about the kinds on mental injuries that may tie into or complicate more common illnesses.
But dueling sounded interesting. And with only two relatively small classes to teach, he had plenty of free time. Dueling Club instructor would probably look pretty good on his resumé, too.
"Sure," he agreed. "But you may need to give me a week or two to study up on the forms and such," he added, because while he had a good repertoire of jinxes, hexes, curses, and defenses, he knew next to nothing about dueling. "And what exactly does a dueling instructor do?"
