Sink and Swim
| ... |
Wandering on the Hogwarts grounds when he was free had somehow become a habit since Philip enrolled in Summer Camp. Forbidden to enter the castle, the grounds easily served as the replacement for his imagination of the inner walls of Hogwarts. Stretching his arms as he enjoyed the fresh air, Philip made his way towards the Great Lake, which he had recently found himself drawn to. It was when he spotted a silhouette of a boy, whom he almost immediately recognised as the epic Luuk Tjin-A-Wing. Luuk had caught his attention a few days ago, when he was moderating the summer duel. The four were all admirable and skilled Duellists, and Philip was pretty sure that they were the ones who had presented him with the allure of Duelling, and caused him to make up his mind to sign up for the house Duelling team as soon as he got sorted. But to Philip, Luuk was particularly intriguing. He was...noticeably shorter than his Duelling partner (Philip was also smaller than his peers, by the way), but dodged as nimble and cast as brutal. Well, there were little mishaps, like the unfortunate double-blindfold, but people all made mistakes, right? And Philip admired how level-headed the Castelobruxo Duellist was after that, who tactically opted to actively dodge, not to mention that he had awesome perseverance. Philip himself would surely have submitted to the what-the-hell effect, and accepted his fate of elimination. It seemed that experienced Duellists probably wouldn't do that, and oh, he still had so much to learn. Aw. Luuk's so cool. "Mr. Tjin-A-Wing!" He called out, eagerly, not caring if Luuk actually wished to spend some quality time by himself. "Hello!" Waving enthusiastically, Philip approached the older boy. "The name's Philip. Um, Rosser?" He added, just in case people only paid attention to last names when it came to official affairs. "I was the referee of your duel...and you were fantastic! I love your Duelling style. You are so inspiring!" Philip beamed, obsidian eyes sparkling. Just think, to be able to talk in person with Luuk...! "How do you like Hogwarts?" He asked, pretty bluntly. Lowering his eyes to the shiny ripples, Philip observed. That probably wasn't the best start to a conversation, and apparently had no relation to the topic of Duelling, but Philip was simply whimsical. "I find the Lake enchanting."
