The '''Duelling Club''' was a club at [[Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry]], founded with the intention of teaching the students of Hogwarts how to [[duel]] should they find themselves in a hostile situation. It was founded by [[Gilderoy Lockhart]] in [[1992]], shortly after the revelation that the [[Chamber of Secrets]] had been opened once more. Thought the initial club was not much of a success, it was reformed in [[1996]] in response to [[Second Wizarding War|a darker social climate]].

This, however, turned out to be a mistake, as the room quickly dissolved into chaos, and had to be broken up by the use of ''[[Finite Incantatem]]'' by Snape. Some results of the frenzied duelling included Harry and [[Draco Malfoy]] using far more malicious [[spell]]s than the Disarming Charm, Ron's [[Ronald Weasley's first wand|broken wand]] leaving [[Seamus Finnigan]] ashen-faced, and Hermione and [[Millicent Bulstrode]] reduced to physical combat.

At this, Snape suggested teaching the students to [[Shield Charm|block unfriendly spells]] would be prudent. Lockhart agreed, but, having no idea how to do it himself, failed to instruct Harry as to the proper way to do this. Nevertheless, Harry was paired with Draco once again, this time on their own. At Snape's instruction, Draco used the [[Snake Summons Spell]] and conjured a large, black [[snake]]. Having created the desired effect of scaring Harry, Snape moved to get rid of the snake, but Lockhart moved first, hitting the snake with ''[[Alarte Ascendare]]''. However, this spell only lifted the snake a few feet into the air, enraging it further and causing it to make its way towards [[Justin Finch-Fletchley]]. Harry, unaware of what he was doing, commanded the snake to stop in [[Parseltongue]]. Snape, becoming horrified at this new discovery, [[Vipera Evanesca|vanished]] the snake and disbanded the meeting.
