Chapter eight

Will POV

As I sat down at breakfast that morning, I instinctively looked for Nico, then remembered he was In a different house to me. Dam. (Sorry! I had to include 'Dam' somewhere.) So I sat next to Thalia and this girl called Arya, she was also in the third year and she seemed to like hanging out with the new kids, according to Hermione. I looked over to Nico and saw him sitting with Reyna and another boy, the three of them were chatting like they had known each other since birth, and for some reason, that made me feel upset, angry even. Why was I getting upset about that? Nico was straight anyway, he would never like me, and even if he was gay, why would he go out with a lame son of Apollo? He turned back to his food and joined Arya and Thalia's conversation about classes, wow, who ever knew that Thalia would like school?! Weird. A few minuets later, a Professor McGonagall came over and gave them their timetables, they were all in the same classes, nine o'clock Divination, ten o'clock Transfiguration, lunch, twelve o'clock Care of magical creature. It wasn't that long of a school day, quite short actually. He just hoped that he would remember all his books.

After they had finished eating, they went with the Golden Trio to find Divination. It turned out to be in one of the towers, and for some reason they had to ask one of the moving paintings for directions, a knight and a short horse. They made it to the lesson on time, but unfortunately the class was with Ravenclaw, not Slytherin. Will, Thalia and Arya sat at one table and after it turned out that Divination was all about telling the future, they ignored what was going on, he thought there was something about a Grim, whatever the Hades that was, and near the end of the class, as they were leaving, the teacher came over to them and told Thalia that she would be struck by lightning and die. To which she started laughing at like a maniac, and Will had soon joined her. Then they made their way to transfiguration, where it turned out the crazy fake oracal had told everyone that Harry was going to die because he had the 'Grim'. And to which Professor McGonagall told Harry that if he died, he didn't need to hand in his homework. Oh great. Homework. Next was lunch, when they arrived in the hall, Nico was standing by himself at the door, waiting for them.

"Hey Neeks!" I called over to him,

his head shot up and he grinned, "Hey Will, how's school?"

"Okay, we had a lesson with a fake oracal, and transfiguration, next is Care of Magical Creatures, what about you?"

"I had transfiguration, Charms, and I'm guess I'm with you next."

"Great!"

"Oh, and Will,"

"Yeah?"

"I got to go, but Jason asked me to ask you to IM him later."

"Uh, OK. See you next class then?"

"Yeah, see you." he walked off to Reyna and that boy he was with earlier. What does Jason want to speak to me about? Maybe there was a fight and someone is hurt? Never mind, I can find out later.

Nico POV

I walked away from Will and over to Reyna and Jay, not thinking about Will. Only for Jay to say loud enough for Will and me and Thalia and that other girl with them to hear,

"So it's different for Will is it? He can call Nico Neeks, but no-one else can?"

and then Reyna replied loud enough for all those people to hear,

"According to Nico."

He blushed, it wasn't that weird was it? It just felt right when Will called him Neeks, but wrong when anyone else did.

"Speaking of the devil," Jay said, "he's right behind you!"

Reyna turned around grinning, and her grin turned to a smirk when she realized he was blushing, crap. He tried to make himself stop blushing, but failed. He sat down at the Slytherin table and they sat either side of him, they had just started to eat when a boy who looked like a blond ferret and two bulky kids sat opposite them, along with a thin girl.

"Draco Malfoy," the blond introduced himself, "this is Pansy, Crabbe and Goyle" he pointed at the girl, then the taller boy, then the shorter.

"Nico Di Angelo," I said

"Reyna" Said Reyna

"You know me Malfoy" Said Jay

"Yes, yes I do Hunter."

I could tell this guy was a bully, I had seen enough.

"Are you two Purebloods?" the girl asked (I had already forgotten her name)

"Were Half-bloods" Reyna told her.

She sniffed, "good enough."

"What do you want Draco?" Jay said.

"Straight to business as usual Hunter. Well, since you asked, we want to see what good your two friends are on the Quidditch pitch is all."

Chiron had explained the wizards sport to us, and I was not going to try it. I didn't want to get blasted out of the sky by Zeus, but Reyna would probably love it.

"Okay, that's fine by me." Reyna said.

I shook my head, "not me, sorry but I prefer to stay on the ground."

"You scared wimp?" the ferret smirked, "Too worried that you'll fall of in front of your girlfriend?"

My WHAT?! Girlfriend? Me? Really?!

"I don't have a girlfriend Ferret, and what I do is my business. So fuck of and leave us alone."

he stared at me in shock for a few seconds before he sneering at me.

"Fine, I'll leave, but only if you fight me."

"Here?"

"No, tonight, in your dorm room, a Wizards duel. Crabbe is my Second."

A second? What?

"Fine." I looked at both my friends, Jay would probably be better in a wizards duel than Reyna. "Jay is mine."

Jay looked at me in surprise as the Ferret and his gang walked away.

"Did you just agree to a Wizards duel?" he asked me, "and chose me as your second?"

"Uh, yeah, what is that?"

So that was how we spent the rest of lunch, Jay telling us about the rules of a Wizards duel, and all the ways you could die, he also told me some useful spells to use.

There was Stupify, Flipendo, Protago, Expelliarmus, confundo, and one where you said, Avis then, Oppugno. Lots of spells, and he had to learn what they did, how to use them, and how to cast them, all before bed. Great, why had he agreed to this again? Oh yeah, the Ferret had called him a wimp. No-one calls Nico Di Angelo a wimp.

Hi! my name is Bob, in honour of Bob. I'm a line break!

Arya POV

As me, Thalia and Will walked to Care of Magical Creatures, I saw Jay with the other Americans walking towards us, we had all heard the conversation in the Hall, about a nickname for one of them and something about Will? She hadn't really been paying attention, she had been too busy staring at Jay, he was just so cute. Stop it! She told herself, He's in Slytherin for a start! She gathered herself up and called over to them,

"Hey guys!"

"Hi!" Jay replied while the other two said hi to Thalia and Will, "We gotta hurry, were gonna miss the lesson!"

we ran down to Hagrid's hut, seeing as that was were the class was, and went over to the golden trio. Except Will and the other boy, who's name she thought was Nico? They went over to Malfoy and started having a heated conversation with him, it looked fun, but she didn't have time for Draco today, he was already pissing her off just by being there. She went over and started talking to Hermione about what she thought was going to happen, she had no idea, for once. Soon enough, Hagrid walked out of the woods and asked them to follow him, they walked for a good five minuets, then they finally got to a clearing in the dense forest, and there was paddock, but it was empty.

"Everyone gather round the fence here!" Hagrid called. "That's it, make sure yeh can see. Now, firs' thing yeh'll want ter do is open yer books-"

"How?" said the cold, drawling voice of Draco Malfoy.

"Eh?" Hagrid said

"How do we open our books?" Malfoy repeated. He took his copy of 'the monster book of monsters' out of his bag, it was bound tightly with a length of rope, other students started to bring out their books too, all of them were bound tightly with things like, belts, rope, bullclips and other things like that.

"Hasn' – hasn' anyone bin able ter open their books?" asked Hagrid, looking crestfallen.

The entire class shook their heads.

"Yeh've got to stroke 'em" he said, as if it was one of the most obvious things in the world, "look..."

he took my copy of the book, pulled of the rope, and stroked it's spine as it tried to bite, the book shivered and fell still in his hand, he handed it back to me as Draco said,

"Oh, how silly we've all been!" the brat sneered, "we should have stroked them! Why didn't we guess!"

"I...I thought they were funny," the half-giant said uncertainly to Hermione.

"Shut it Ferret!" Nico shouted at the same time as Harry said,

"Shut up Malfoy" quietly

"Well, I'll uh, go an' get the Magical Creatures then..." as Hagrid walked away, Draco rounded on Nico.

"What did you call me Di Angelo?!" he shouted.

"A Ferret," Nico said calmly.

"I swear Di Angelo-"

he was cut off by Will, "Shut it Malfoy, leave him alone."

"Who are you to tell me to shut up?"

"Will Solace, and if you don't leave my friend alone..." he left the threat hanging.

"What Solace? What you gonna do? What can you do?"

that's when Nico, Thalia and Reyna walked up to Draco, and stood next to Will defensively.

"Hey Brat," Reyna Spat at him, "you know your duel with Nico? Well you're gonna need three more people on your team, 'cause were all fighting with him!"

Wait a second, a duel! What!

Jay walked up to Draco and said,

"And don't you dare back out Malfoy."

wait, Jay was fighting too! What?!

If Hagrid hadn't chosen that moment to appear, then a fight would have broke out, between Draco's gang, and Nico's. And it would have got messy.

"What's going on 'er?" the teacher said,

"Nothing Hagrid!" Harry said, "they were just talking is all."

Hagrid looked suspicious, but he carried on with the lesson, he brought out some animals he said were called Hippogrifs, and they were beautiful, just amazing. The rest of the lesson went by in a blur, and near the end, Draco broke his arm! It was hilarious, for a few seconds that is. Until they were all walking up the hill with a moaning Draco in Hagrids arms. She overheard Jay and Nico talking about the duel, it was tonight, and they new Draco would be out of the intermarry by then, so she was sure of one thing. Tonight, at midnight, she would sneak into the Slytherin dormitories, and watch the duel.
