Chapter 6

Harry and friends made it to the Dueling arena. It has a platform, five statues of the founders along with a glass sainwindows, a balcony stadium seat for teacher and headmaster, and regular stadium seats for the students. Everyone was gathered around the platform until, Zhao Young came up to the platform. He wore a red pants and arm braces. Zhao began to called out and said, "Can everyone please be quiet?"

Everyone is silent as a church mouse.

"Very well," said Zhao as he introduce himself, "I'm Zhao Young. Your Dueling teacher. In this class. You will study your opponents straight and weakness."

"Bloody hell," mumerd Ron.

"For a demonstration. I let Miss Kyoshi volunteer to show everyone what dueling is all about," said Zhao with a grin as Kyoshi, step up to the stadium. Kyoshi wore a green sleeveless shirt and green pants.

"Now then," instructed Zhao, "First, you will get a cape that represent the symbol of your dorm. Second you knelled down on your side."

Both Zhao and Kyosi, are at their sides knelled and have their capes on their backs.

"Third," Zhao continued, "you turned to your opponents. Let the capes flow down and on to the floor."

Their capes flew from their backs.

Zhao got himself ready and said, "Finally, once you hear the gong, get to your stance, and attacked. Which I took the liberty to let our game keeper Sokka, ring the gong for us."

Sokka raised the mallet and hit the gong.

The opponents got to their stance and attacked.

Zhao aim some fire balls at her, but she blocked it by using her earthbending wall.

Kyoshi, lowered the wall, formed earth balls and fire at Zhao.

Zhao, immediate doge and said, "Notice how I'm trying to doge her attacks."

Zhao and Kyoshi continued attack and dogging until, he began to stumble out if the ring.

Quickly, Kyoshi, use her earthbending to make a platform so he won't fall. Zhao landed on Kyoshi's platform just in time.

"Nice work Kyoshi," said Zhao with a grin, "although this is dueling class not helping your opponents."

"I know," said Kyoshi, "but I don't want you to break you arm just like me."

Zhao cleared his throat from the embarrassment and said, "Well now that we showed them what dueling is all about. Shall we let the students try it out."

"I don't see why not," said Kyoshi with a smile, "that's why the previous teacher said that he picks one student and the volunteer picks the other one."

"Excellent suggestion Kyoshi," said Zhao with a smile, "lets see I choose my Ryo Young."

Kyoshi ponder and said, "Then I choose Harry Potter."

At the platform Zhao, and Kyoshi, gave some advice to their students.

"Dad," said Ryo, "I can't beat Harry Potter I've bearly known him for a day."

"I know son," said Zhao with a grin, "but don't let your guard down."

"So Harry Potter," said Kyoshi, "how does it feel to be the next Avatar?"

"It feels unusual," said Harry who is not sure about this.

"Don't worry," said Kyoshi with a smile, "in time your destiny will be clear."

Harry nodded. By then Harry and Ryo got up from the platform stadium turned to each other and let their capes flow down from their backs.

Suddenly Ryo and Harry heard the gong and got into their stance.

Unknown to them Zhao who was at the balcony stadium seats with Kyoshi. He notice Harry's stance it reminds him of an old friends past of long ago.

Flashback. . .

When Zhao was at his son's age. He once met and duel an opponent that resembles Harry Potter.

End Flashback. . .

"Zhao," said Kyoshi who looked concern, "are you alright?"

"I'm fine Kyoshi," answered Zhao, "I'm just having some flashbacks."

"Does it happen often?" Kyoshi asked.

"Only on rare ocations," said Zhao as he felt that his nerves are shot.

"Maybe you should see a healer Zhao."

"No, no, I'm alright Kyoshi. I'm fine."

Harry and Ryo continued battling and dodging until one of them fell down from their backs.

"Are you alright Harry?" Ryo asked.

"I'm fine," ansewred Harry, "how about you?"

"I'm okay. We sure put up a good show this year don't you think."

"We sure did."

Once again Zhao notice that saying after what Ryo just said.

Flashback continued. . .

If turns out the boy that resembles Harry Potter is really James Potter.

"Are you alright James?" Zhao asked.

"I'm fine," answered James, "how about you?"

"I'm okay. We sure put up a good show this year don't you think?"

"We sure did."

Flashback ends. . .

"Having another flashback Zhao?" Kyoshi asked.

"You've started to caught me red handed." Zhao said with concern then he rose up from his seat and said, "Class is dismissed and Harry Potter I would like to see you immediately."

"Yes Professor," said Harry.

"What happen Ryo?" Katie asked with concern.

"I think my dad wants to talk to Harry about something," answered Ryo.

"I hope he's not in trouble," said Ron who looked worried.

Harry looked at his teacher's eyes and asked, "You want to see me professor?"

"Yes, Harry, "Zhao answered, "I want you to do that stance again just like you did it when you battle with my son."

Harry nodded as he done his stance.

Zhao began to notice and said, "I recognize that form. How could I be so blind. You must be the spitting image of James Potter."

Harry backed away from him and said, "Wait how did you know my dad?"

"I know your father and his friends since I was my son's age." answered Zhao with a smile.

"Proffesor Lupin never told me that you knew my dad," said Harry who look confused.

"I'm sure his memory will recover in time," said Zhao, "well now your dismissed right now I don't want you to be late for class."

"Thank you professor," said Harry.

After, a chat with Professor Young. Ryo finally, caught up with Harry and asked, "So Harry what did my dad say?"

"He said my dad knows your dad years ago." answered Harry.

"Hold on," answered Ryo with confusion, "are you sure that's what he said."

Harry nodded.

"Wow!" exclaimed Ryo, "My dad knows your dad? That's so cool."

"Man Ryo," said Toru, "I didn't know your dad met Harry's father. Why didn't you tell me?"

"I didn't know," Ryo answered.

At the dressing room Harry changing into his clothes Harry wore the same outfit that Ron has when he trained with his airbending.

"Good luck with your Airbending Harry," said Nevel.

Harry nodded.

"We're going to meet up with Hermione at the library. See you at lunch," said Ron with a smile.

"See you real soon," said Harry as he smiled back and head to his class.
