I sigh, looking through the fifth book for anything at all.

"Ky," Kenny says.

I look at him.

"Yeah?" I ask.

"How are you and Liz?" He asks.

I laugh.

"I eh... we decided we're better as friends. I don't know, it was a mutual decision," I say.

"Oh okay," He says.

I nod. There is more silence.

"How is your family?" I ask.

"Kevin got into a huge school, he sends me a letter every other week," Kenny says.

"Oh congratulations," I say.

He laughs.

"I hope he will go through it all. He got through a lot to get a schooling," he says.

I nod along.

"Kyle! Kyle!" Ike yells.

He runs to us.

"What is it Ike?" I ask.

He takes a deep breath.

"The duel thing, I heard of it," Ike says.

"Oh Godric," I mutter.

"No, I don't mean it as I'll talk you out of it. I think of it as... as a nice little thing to know, what I'm supposed to tell you," Ike says.

"Go on," Kenny says.

"Long story very short. Jessica has a plan," Ike says.

"What kind of plan?" I ask.

"She.... um... I don't think it's hers but she is planning on wiping both of your memories so you'll trust her or something in those lines," Ike says.

I nod.

"Thanks Ike," I say.

He nods back at me.

"Just... be careful and if your memories do get wiped," Ike says.

He throws something to Kenny, who opens it to be a potions book... or only the covers, the inside is empty.

"Karen mentioned that you need to write everything you know down so you can still have something to remember," Ike says.

"She's so smart!" I say.

Kenny takes a quill and instantly gets to writing it. I laugh and look at Ike.

"Other news," Ike says.

He sits with us.

"Father has been planning the possibility of you going to a far away place for wizards that go out of control next summer, can't remember the name," Ike says.

"Sounds too much like something like a gay camp to just be bad luck," Kenny says, continuing to write.

"What is that?" I ask.

"I don't know the real name of the place. The idea is basically 'Oh your child is gay? Bring them here and they are not after leaving'," Kenny says.

"Sounds horrible!" I say.

"Muggles are absolute idiots," Kenny says.

He realises how bigoted that sounds.

"Not all! At all! Some are! Some religious people, not all, not even most. Oh god I'm rambling," Kenny says.

I laugh.

"We get it. I'm still from planet earth," Ike says.

Kenny looks about for any time telling things.

"Oh shit. Get up! We have to go!" Kenny says.

I nod and we leave Ike.

"Did you write everything?" I ask.

He shows me like ten pages written in neat handwriting.

"Holy fuck," I say.

He laughs and gives me the quill.

"Name here," he says.

I write my name, slightly showing off.

"Let's go," Kenny says.

He closes the book and puts it into my bag. We both walk towards the room of requirements, the place this duel will be in.

"You ready?" He asks, as the door appears.

I nod and he opens it. I walk in first, wand in hand.

"So you didn't chicken out then?" Jessica asks.

Kenny shakes his hand.

"Since you are first," Scott says.

He nods to Kenny and Jessica.

Just remember Protego, Okay?" I whisper to Ken.

He nods.

"Shall we start then?" Jessica asks.

Kenny nods and both of them bow, looking at each other while doing it.

"Expelliarmus!" She yells.

Kenny physically jumps out of the way.

"Stupefy!" He yells.

"Protego!" She yells.

"Finestra!" He yells.

The spell breaks a glass behind her. Glass almost hitting her.

"Curcio!" She yells.

Kenny jumps to the side again.

"Expelliarmus!" He yells.

"Protego!" She yells.

"Impedimenta!" He yells yet again.

"Protego!" She yells.

This is good, she doesn't have time to do damage.

"Relashio!" She yells.

Kenny jumps again. Why is he so animated? That'll tire him eventually!

"Diffindo!" She yells.

As Kenny jumps out of the way, the table behind him splits in half. Holy shit this is serious!

"Incendio!" She yells.

Oh no no no no no.

"Aguamenti!" Kenny yells, as soon as the fire starts.

"Confundo!" He yells.

"Protego!" She yells.

Oh come on he knows so many. Why is he using these?

"Alarte Ascendare!" She yells.

Kenny jumps away again.

"Why aren't you fighting?" She asks.

"I can if you want me to," he says.

"Avis!" He yells.

The flock of birds attack Jessica. Jessica gets them away, not without a bruise or two.

"BOMBARDA!" She yells.

Kenny jumps again. The explosion isn't huge but makes him stumble ahead.

"Confringo!" She yells.

"Conjuctivitis!" Kenny yells.

Wait we didn't practice that!

"My eyes!" Jessica yells.

"Are you going to-?" Kenny asks.

Scott jumps in.

"That isn't until death!" I yell.

"Curcio!" He yells.

It hits Kenny, who falls on the ground in pain.

"Oh shit," I mutter.

I jump in front of him.

"Diffindo!" I yell.

The bruises go on Scott almost immediately. He lets Kenny off, whose shaking, probably having a trauma thing from second year.

"Ducklifors!" Scott yells.

"Protego!" I yell.

Wouldn't want to be a duck.

"Impedimenta!" I yell.

He flies back (accidentally) on the glass.

"Oh Godric! Oh no!" I say.

Jessica gets up, doesn't even help him.

"Imperio!" Jessica yells.

I step out of the way. Kenny gets up and takes a deep breath.

"Incendio!" Jessica yells.

I quickly run to Scott and try to get him off the glass. He has his eyes closed. No, i didn't murder him!

"Curcio!"

I look over, it's Kenny's voice, Not Jessica's.

"Stop!" She screams.

"Episkey!" I try.

The cuts get a little better.

"Tergeo!" I yell.

The blood leaves.

"I'm so sorry," I say.

Soon Kenny does the last curse and Jessica falls down... hopefully unconscious or sleeping.

"Kyle! Are you okay?" He asks.

"What the hell?" I ask.

"What?" He asks.

"You can't just torture-," I start.

"You might not have realised but it was in battle. A bit of darkness can absolutely do good," Kenny says.

My eyes widen.

"Kenny! The prophecy! It's about you!" I say.

His eyes go wide too.

"You're right!" He says.

Scott opens his eyes.

"Are you okay? I tried my best but-," I start.

"Diffindo!" Scott yells, pointing his wand at Kenny.

He takes Jessica and leaves as quickly as he can.

"You okay?" I ask.

He nods.

"A little hurt," he says.

I nod and he helps me up.
