Nothing will change now right? Logan finished

Henry couldn't help but pace around the room while he waited for his best friend, his eyes scanning over ever aspect of the room as his mind went through every possible situation that could happen. With his first duel being so close definitely added to his anxiety and panic as he stressed over spells and strategies in his mind. Most day's were spent the same now, Henry would be in the library reading and studying every dueling and spell books known to man as he memorized spells, incarnations, movements, latin origins, and just about anything he could get his hands onto. Henry was more worried then usual as he turned his wand around in his hands because he wasn't strong and strength was almost invisible in him as he remembered the tug of war during the field day where he fell off the rope.

Henry gulped a bit as he knew the only thing he has was smarts, he was smart and that was it. No special skills or anything just his mind and while yes he knew a few advanced spells that didn't stop him from worrying or panicking that if you take away his mind then he had nothing, he was nothing. He was defenseless and harmless, he was no help.

Henry stopped his pacing however when he was Logan enter the room before saying something to him, Henry already felt more relaxed as he laughed a bit before speaking " your not going to lose Robin, not yet at least," He smiled at her before continuing " and plus today's just practice so during our actual duels we both win," Henry then joked a bit " unless our first duel is against each other."

Henry took a few feet closer to her as he felt his anxiety loom over his head but it was no secret between them that he had anxiety so he spoke " are you nervous Logan? I am, I don't if I'm good enough or if I know enough spells and what if were actually dueling each other? That won't be good and even if were not there's no telling everything that can or can't happen, dueling probably had more chance of serious injury then quidditch and I just heard that we can go against third years. Third Yeats Logan! How are we suppose to complete with that and even if we go against second years, there are still numerous situations that could happen."

Henry saw that his anxiety was taking over so he stopped, took a few breaths before smiling and continuing " sorry, just nervous I guess," Henry then held his wand up before saying again " want to see a new spell I learn Robin?" Henry pointed his wand at a book close to them and spoke " Accio!" The book then came zooming toward them as Henry caught it in his hands before putting it on the ground and smiling at Logan, " cool right? I could teach you if you want?"

Henry ran over and placed the book back where it was before he cast accio on it. Henry then turned on his heels and ran back toward Logan and listened to her words in which he nodded with a smile before agreeing " your probably right, so would you like to practice dueling each other or studying the spells that would come in handy the most?" Henry looked at his best friend as he listened to her again before laughing a bit and saying " alright maybe later I can teach you then Robin?"

Henry then walked behind her and wrapped bus arms around her shoulders as be spoke " I wish we could have been in the same house than maybe we could have been dueling partners, that would have been brilliant right Robin?" Henry then withdrew his arms and held them at his say before saying again, " did you find out your dueling partner yet anyway Logan?" Henry already found out his sadly, sadly because him and his partner don't get along much and frankly he nerves to participate in a duel with her, would she help him or would she aim at him? Only time will tell and their first duel was fast approaching.

Logan's suggestion was definitely a better studying strategy in Henry's mind than just shouting spells at each other so he nodded before speaking " sounds good to me, so would you like to study offensive or defensive spells first Robin?" Henry waited for her answer as he twirled his wand in his hands for a while before he nearly dropped it and placed it back inside his jacket as he laughed a bit.

Henry then wrapped his arms back around her shoulders as he squeezed Logan's shoulders and laughed his reply " we do fit into our houses Robin but it would have been blood fun being partners," Henry laughed as he thought what would happened if they were partners for dueling, he would probably be stressing over what spell to cast while Logan would be casting the spell, he then laughed a bit at her next comment before speaking again " no you wouldn't Logan, I'm sure you'll do great in your duo and if were not against each other then I'll be cheering for you on the sidelines."

Henry released Logan then when he heard her start speaking about her dueling partner; Lucia Fox. Henry didn't know who that was but nodded when Logan said she was a second year in hufflepuff which even through he hid it from Logan his mind was worrying that Logan would forget him or they wouldn't remain friends now.

Henry hid these thoughts from Logan as he smiled a bit before saying " Amara Dragamior, a second year like us to but we don't fully get along yet so that's that. Although were both good duelers I guess," he smiled at Logan a bit as those thoughts were still haunting his mind which he continued to hide from his best friend as he spoke again " do you know anyone on the hufflepuff team Robin? I don't really know anyone on the slytherin team really."

Henry thought for a few minutes as he ran a hand through his hair with thoughts swimming through his head on what they should practice or study first. After a few minutes Henry finally said with his arms still wrapped around Logan's shoulders, " alright then let's try offense spells first and we can study them to while we practice. We can recommend spells that will be helpful for our duels and also go over the movement and pronunciation before casting it first on another object before each other?"

Henry hoped she liked it and if not then he knew that she suggest a better way then he as he listened to the girl speak about if they were dueling partners. Henry laughed a bit and he hugged her from behind before saying " that's not true Robin, you can be a brilliant duelist just need some practice is all and I'm sure you'll cast way more than just the extinguishing charm," Henry hugged her for a bit longer before letting go and smiling at her as he took out his wand and begun to fiddle with it again to ease his nerves and anxiety.

Henry smiled at her as she spoke about chatting with partner once last year, he was happy that she got somewhat as a friend as a partner unlike him who got a fellow slytherin who he didn't know and didn't really get along with although even through he wouldn't admit it did care for his dueling partner as he pushed his hair back with his hand again and snapped out of his thoughts with Logan's words.

Henry nodded with a smile as he spoke " your not going to hurt yourself Logan, relax alright," he smiled at his friend before thinking for a minute and saying again " alright so what if we start with the knockback jinx? You cast it at me first then I cast it at you? Sounds good Robin?"
