Romans P.O.V:

I sized up the boy, I think Patton called him Virgil, trying realizing this is that boy who didnt have a house. Wierd. I took out my wand as I faced him. He was short with green eyes but one of them was kinda hidden behind his dark purple hair so I couldnt quite see it, but I'm pretty sure that's green too. 

Virgil pulled out his wand and held it at the ready. He tried to look intimedating but i could see he was nervous. Maybe I'll go easy on him... just maybe. 

"Ok! You may begin in 3, 2, 1, GO!" Thomas said and spells sarted flying between us.

I started of with Expelliarmus to catch him off guard but he was fast at shouting Protego so the spell bounced harmlessly off his shield. Damnit.  I fired again with Aqua Eructo and a jet of water sprayed him in the face. 

"Agh!" Virgil said as he stumbled backwards. Now was my chanse! I got redy to fire Expelliarmus again and could almost taste the victory. 

But Virgil wasn't done yet. He gained his sences and shouted something that  suprized me. 

"ACCIO ROPE!" he shouted and before i knew what had happened I was on the floor, head hurting and tangled up in a rope. Virgil walked towards me with a faint smirk on his pale face and said, "Expelliarmus" My wans shot out of my hand as I grumbled in defeat. 

With a wave of his wand Virgil untied the ropes and reached out his hand. "Hehe... Sorry about that. I got a bit carried away. You ok?" Virgil said and tired for a smile. I grumbled and got up  myself, refusing to take his hand. "Yeah, whatever. I went easy on you." I said. Virgils smile faded a bit, he turned away from me and looked at the other battle that was stil going on. 

Logan and Patton were going at it. Shooting spells left and right. Logan looked like he was struggeling to keep up but I knew he was faking it. He had allways had a soft spot for Patton wich I found kinda cute. The battle cept going for another two to three minutes until Logan disarmed Patton with Expelliarmus. 

Patton giggled as Logan helped him up with a small smile on his lips. 

"Well! Great job all of you!" Thomas said and looked down at us. "You three have gotten pretty far snice we started and I was impressed with you Virgil." he continued. Virgil looked down at his shoes, clearly he was uncofertable with this sudden praise. I must say I was impressed as well with Virgil's skills. Now I had to work even harder to be the best. 

~Time skip to after the duelling class~

Patton, Logan, Virgil and I were walking down the corridor towards the castle grounds we were all done with our homework for the week and Patton wanted us to have som bonding time, most likely so we could get to know Virgil better. Patton and Logan were walking in front of us in a deep descussion of witch magical creature was the most intresting witch left me walking in the back with Virgil who hadn't said a word since our duel. Had I upset him by being rude? I hoped not but I didn't exactly care wether or not he liked me really. He was... strange. I just couldn't seem to put my finger on why tough. 

Finally I couldn't take it anymore and started up a conversation. "So..." I started. "What do you like to do for fun?" Virgil looked up at me. "Uh.... I... I like to draw and read when I'm not doing school stuff. You?" he asked. "I like to hang out with my friends and play Quidditch. I'm the Beater and the team leader for Gryffindoor." I said proudly. "I don't do Quidditch because I don't know what team to be on. Besides, I don't like being in front of crowds." Virgil said as we walked out out of the castle and towards the Great Lake. 

This kinda put me down so I decided to switch to a new topic. "Do you have a pet? I have a horned owl, his name is Andy." I said. Virgil looked up at me again. I have a barn owl. Her name is Opal." Virgil said. It looked like he was actually relaxing a bit as we sat down. 

"Oh! Cool." I said. Then another question came to me. 

"Where are you from? Like, do you have Muggle parents, wizart parents or are you a half blood?" I imediatly regreted the question. I could almost feel Virgil's mental walls going up as he glared at me. "I'd rather not talk about it." he said shortly and turned away. Luckily Patton and Logan came over to save me from and awkward situation. 

"Ok fine! You win. Unicons are more intresting then Manticors." Logan said as they sat down. Patton looked smug as he pulled out sandwitches for everyone. "Here everyone! I brought sandwitches!" He said as he passed them out. "Where do you even get so much food? You dont take them from the tables during meals, do you?" I asked with a small chuckle. Patton laughed too and shook his head. "No of course not! That food will disapear so I get it somewhere else." he said. "But where is that?" Virgil asked. Patton just winked at us and said, "Hufflepuffs are particulary good finders yah know Kiddos." Virgil shurged and ate his sandwitch. 

That evening we hung out and laughed. Even Virgil let out a few laughs. 

Although. I couldn't help but wonder why Virgil had been so defencive of his backround. Was it because he was embarrased of being a muggle born? Was I asking to many questions? Or something more presonal? Whatever the case I hoped I haddn't offended him. I hate it when people are mad at me.
