As practice wore on, Harry could see that his friends and fellow comrades were getting bored with the plain practice so he decided to make things interesting," Alright everyone! Gather round!" he called out as everyone stopped practicing and began to walk over to Harry and the blackboard behind him.

After taking a moment to make there were no stragglers, Harry flipped over the board to reveal a bracket board with everyone's name on it, "It time you all have some competition. Whoever wins this tournament gets to lead the DA for the next five practices," Harry said smirking, causing eyebrows to go up from everyone, "It doesn't even have to be practice," Harry finished followed by a roar of cheering and clapping to which he rolled his eyes to, "Alright everyone take a space with your opponent so we can get started," When they did this, the perimeters around everyone's little dueling space turned pitch black leaving the outside completely dark, "Don't be alarmed, this is done to make sure everyone goes into their duels not knowing what the opponent can do," Harry reassured them, "Now then….BEGIN!"

As the duels progressed, the black borders automatically opened up leading the victors to their next opponent. After about two hours, the borders disappeared leaving the two finalists standing on opposite sides of the room.

On one side was Hermione; no one was surprised that she made it to the top. She was the most adept with spell work amongst them. Her opponent though made everyone's jaw drop. Standing silently and somewhat meekly on the other side was Rox. Harry who was oblivious to the duels was stunned to see Rox there as well as Hermione.

Slowly and cautiously, Hermione raised her wand as did Rox.

Hermione started by throwing by throwing a stunning spell at Rox. However, Rox held his position as an invisible shield erupted in front of him. The spell reflected off the shield and, all of a sudden, doubled in size as it shot back toward Hermione as she dived out of the way.

She got up to see Rox holding his wand behind him as one would do if they were about to throw something. The air became slightly colder as a pale blue ball appeared at the wand tip. Rox threw the ball at Hermione. It moved in an arch and forced Hermione to jump out of the way again. When it landed, the ground where it landed froze before multiple thin icicles jutted up from the ground. This time, Hermione wasted no time when she got up and began shooting multiple spells causing Rox to jump around the room.

When she stopped the assault, Rox ran towards her in a zig-zag fashion. When he was close to her, he leapt towards her closing the distance and three small fireballs appeared and swirled around his body. Hermione quickly jumped out of the way as she conjured a shield that protected her from the fire. She then yelled, "Depulso!" which sent Rox flying across the room.

His shoes skidded on the floor as he landed hard on his feet. He then looked at her for a bit before closing his eyes. His wand began to glow red as a red ball of energy emerged from his wand tip. It began to grow larger and larger until it was as big as a volleyball. The ball then shined as Rox pointed his wand upward above his head. Hermione, not knowing what to expect with this spell, erected a shield in front of her and braced herself. She had never seen someone so aggressive in dueling as well as someone who knew such advanced spells relating to the elements. However, Hermione didn't have to worry as the ball of energy lit up in a large explosion that shot Rox into a wall.

When the dust cleared, Rox was laying on the ground, a trickle of blood coming from his mouth.

"Rox!" Harry yelled as everyone dashed over to him. Luna was first on the scene, then Harry, "Rox are you okay!"

-So close!- Harry heard as Rox got up. Once he was standing on his feet, he looked around dazed then began to fall forward to the ground. Before he hit the ground however, Luna was there in front of him and he slumped into her.

"I'm going to take him to see Madam Pomfrey," Luna said as she slowly dragged Rox out of the room.

When they were gone, Hermione pulled Harry and Ron over to the side, "That was-"Hermione began to say.

"Insane…blimey," Ron finished with an incredulous look on his face.

"Hermione, have you seen any of the spells he used before?" Harry asked.

Hermione shook her head slowly, causing Harry's eyes to widen.

As she was making her way up to the Hospital Wing, Rox's eyes slowly opened as Luna heard, -Don't worry. I'm fine. You don't have to do this.-

"I want to do this silly. You're my friend; I wouldn't be much of friend if I didn't do this," Luna answered.

Rox gave her a weak smile before falling unconscious again.

All of a sudden, there was a flash of fire in front of them and an old man with a long white beard; his half moon spectacles glistening in the moonlight, "Ah, Ms. Lovegood, why are you out of bed on a night such as this?"

"Good evening Professor, my friend injured himself so I'm just bringing him to the Hospital wing," Luna said as Headmaster Dumbledore looked at the unconscious teen with concerned eyes.

He leaned over to get a good look at Rox's face. When he did, he thought for a moment, then he put his hand on Luna's shoulder and, with a flash of fire, they disappeared.

Luna found herself standing in Dumbledore's office. She looked over to see Rox resting against the window.

"Come, Ms. Lovegood, sit," came a voice from behind her. She turned around to see Dumbledore sitting behind his desk looking down at a few papers on his desk. She slowly walked over and took a seat, "Now can you please tell me what you know about Mr… let's just call him Rox," Dumbledore said smiling.

For the first time in a long time, Luna eyed her Headmaster suspiciously. Why would he want to know about a random student?

Dumbledore, seeing the uncertainty in her face, quickly reassured her by saying, "Oh don't worry Ms. Lovegood. I have no intention of doing any harm to your friend. Perhaps you didn't notice this, but the Sorting Hat did not place him in any house. It didn't even speak. Now don't you find that odd?"

She didn't remember Rox ever being sorted at all. She began to think up reasons as to how her near perfect memory could forget something like that.

Dumbledore, however, was not done, "What if I told you that he was here ever since you were here? I never said he was Sorted this year did I. No the incident with the Sorting Hat happened the year you came into these halls,"

Luna's eyes widened at this piece of information. Rox had gone through four years at Hogwarts completely unnoticed until just a week ago. Everyone is known at Hogwarts for at least something. It didn't matter if it was something good or bad. Every single student at Hogwarts is known for something.

After waiting a moment so that Luna could process the information, Dumbledore asked again, "So can you tell me what you know about Rox?"

"Why are you asking her?"

Two pairs of stunned eyes looked over to see Rox awake and on his feet. He was glaring aggressively at Dumbledore.

"Rox…You're speaking!" Luna exclaimed her eyes lightening up in both amazement and happiness. Her look however faded when he looked over at her.

-Luna…please leave us….I'll tell you everything when I can…-

Dumbledore looked from Rox to Luna. It became apparent to him that Rox was communicating with her through means that did not require talking. Luna looked at Rox for a bit, then slowly backed to the door then exited.

Rox, glad that Luna was no longer here, turned over to Dumbledore, "What do you want to know?" he said suspiciously.

"I apologize if I seem like I mean to hurt you, but this old man is being inquisitive," Dumbledore apologized.

"That still doesn't explain why you couldn't just ask me directly," Rox replied, he was still tense but he slowly began to calm down.

"This is truly horrible of me to say but…up until now, I did not know that you existed," Dumbledore said sadly, "I just want to know more about you,"

"Like what?"

"Like where you are from,"

Rox looked at the man in front of him for awhile. He seemed thirsty for something, but his eyes show kindness and trust. After contemplating a little while longer, Rox said, "…I'm from a place called Twilight Town,"

"My, my, I have been around for a very long time and yet I have never heard of place with such a name," Dumbledore said, somewhat lost in thought before saying, "Why did you come here?"

Rox looked away as he replied, "There's nothing left there for me. I have no reason to be there anymore,"

"Do you not have a family?" Dumbledore asked caringly.

"I wasn't exactly born the normal way…" Rox said quietly.

Dumbledore was about to ask more about that, but when he saw Rox's face, he decided not to push into any delicate subjects, "I see….I wonder though; why is it that in all your four years here, no one has ever uttered a word about you in any way at all?"

"Isn't that normal?" Rox asked, "I never wanted my name known here, I just want to …last…for another year,"

"Oh really? Is this school really that dangerous and bad for you?" Dumbledore asked; any of his worry was covered up by his inquisitiveness.

"I didn't mean it that way. Hogwarts is fine. Most of the people here are nice," Rox replied.

"If that's the case then I'm surprised that you didn't have any friends until now. Did you have any friends before Hogwarts?"

Rox looked down as he answered, "Yes…"

"And where are they now?"

"I…don't know…." Rox replied slowly before asking, "May I please go now?"

Dumbledore looked at him, realizing that he just did what he told himself earlier not to do. Dumbledore smiled and said, "Of course. Sorry for using you to indulge my hungry mind,"

"It's quite alright Professor, I knew that I would eventually catch someone's attention. I really do hope that I won't be talked about too much here," Rox said politely.

"Of course. I will try my best to see that you will still be unknown here. Goodnight Rox and please convey my apologies to Ms. Lovegood as well,"

Rox nodded then left the office.

Right as he exited, he found Luna sitting right at the stairs waiting. He approached her and looked down at her. -Luna, what are you still doing here?-

No response.

-Luna?-

Silence.

Rox began to grow worried. However, he fears were relaxed when he heard deep breathing come from her. He leaned over to look at her face and found that she was fast asleep. He smiled as he picked her up gently and carried her back to the Ravenclaw common room.

When he arrived at the door, the painting looked at him then asked, "Angels are rejected by darkness and demons are rejected by light. Who in this world cannot be accepted by the dark shadows or by the bright rays?"

Rox already knew the answer to this question. However, the answer would not come out of his mouth, as if it was being held back. After awhile, a faint and barely audible whisper came from Rox's mouth, "Nobody…"

The door opened and Rox walked in, dragging his feet as he went along. He placed Luna softly down on the couch. She looked beautiful with the moonlight illuminating her face and her pale blonde hair. It was almost as if it was Luna herself who was creating the light. When he realized that he was staring at her, he quickly shook his head to clear his thoughts before stalking quietly out of the room.

He walked in silence all the way up to the bell tower. There he sat against a wall that gave him the same view that he and Luna had earlier that evening. As he began to drift to sleep, only one word resonated in his head,

Nobody

"HE is stirring,"

"Yes he will embrace his destiny soon,"

"The girl is a problem however; she is very much like that witch,"

"So is that boy…Harry Potter. His courage highly resembles HIS own courage,"

"As of right now he is of no importance, but soon…"

"Soon he will die by my hands!"

"Patience… Although he might pose a problem later, he is still a required piece,"

"Until then, I still need you to watch the three of them,"

"Yes sir, anything to wake HIM up…"
