"Hey, Pat, those guys are doing the thing in the halls again." Roman said, seeming to have ran to find his friend, "I know how much you love watching their stories, so I came as fast as I could."

Patton looked up from his book in the library, which he hadn't been paying attention to for a good quarter of an hour by that point, "Really? Aw, thank you Roman."

"Unfortunately, Patton cannot attend." Logan spoke up from next to the Hufflepuff, "If he wants to keep his grades up, he will be staying here with me for our studying session."

"Aww, please Lo? I know you love watching the stories too." Patton pleaded, pouting slightly.

"Yeah, come on, you know you wanna." Roman smirked, leaning on the desk with both hands, "You can go one day without revision."

Logan sighed, but clearly sensed this was a battle that he would not win. He closed his book and placed it gently in his bag, before standing, "Well, what are we waiting for?"

Patton let out a loud squeal which earned a telling off from the librarian who shunned them for being too noisy. He let out a more quite celebration before closing and putting his book away, "Thanks Lo!"

A small smile cracked onto the stoic Ravenclaw's face, "Don't mention it."

//Time skip because I'm the author and I say so :3//

Just as the trio arrived, a large crowd starting forming as music began to play from nowhere. The three managed to be able to stand at the front and see the two Slytherin boys with their ties undone, purple and H/C hair, respectively, a mess.

The boys in question were Virgil Knight, with his striking purple hair, pale skin and dark makeup smudges under his eyes. Next to him stood Y/N L/N, E/C eyes scanning and assessing the crowed with a small smile on his lips.

Y/N cleared his throat as Virgil flicked his wand, making it go pitch black in the hall. Suddenly, a small spot light appeared on the other boy. Virgil was always happy to help out with his friend's pastimes but never wanted to be in the limelight himself.

It was then, when the tale began. What the crowd had gathered for. What they had been waiting for.

"There will come a soldier who carries a mighty sword." Y/N pulled his wand, which had been upside down. He pulled a face at it and shrugged lightly, twirling it in his hand to be the right way up and continuing, "He will tear your city down, o lei o lai o lord. O lei, o lai, o lei, o lord." He swished the wand around, a wispy figure of a warrior began to walk around the heads of the students.

As Y/N watched the smoke man walk, he made eye contact with a familiar face. He definitely has seen him at one of his stunts before, so he flashed him a smile and gave him a wink before going back to telling the story.

"He will tear your city down, o lei o lai o lord."

By that time, Patton's face had gone a deep shade of red. He turned to Roman, "Did you-" he stopped when he realised that Roman was too focused on Virgil and wasn't even paying attention to him or Y/N at this point. So he turned to Logan, "Did you see him wink? W-Was that meant for me?"

Logan shrugged slightly, "Perhaps." He said whispered back, before turning his attention back to the performance.

Y/N had gone silent so Patton assumed it was over. He took a step towards the Slytherin before being told to wait by said Slytherin. Y/N held his index finger up slightly and mouthed, 'One minuet.'

Patton understood and quickly stepped back, allowing Y/N to continue. He watched as the performer bounced along in time to the music before continuing to speak.

"There will come a poet, whose weapon is his word." Y/N made a gesture with his hand to symbolise talking out to the audience, behind said hand came another smoke figure that took the shape of a bard who began to walk alongside the soldier, "He will slay you with his tongue, o lei o lai o lord. O lei, o lai, o lei, o lord."

Patton and Y/N once again made eye contact as the latter stuck his tongue out at him, "He will slay you with his tongue, o lei o lai o lord."

Patton turned to Logan, "Okay, that's definitely directed to me. What do I do?"

"Just remain calm. You can talk to him once he's done. And perhaps have a talk with Roman before hand. He's the... Best in the romance department. At least, in our friend group he is." Logan responded in a soft tone, looking back to the performance as Patton did the same.

Y/N danced along to the music before reaching back and grabbing Virgil's hand, pulling him into the spot light to dance with him. Although rather flustered, Virgil relaxed rather quickly and laughed lightly at his friend. Y/N spun him around and let him go, allowing Virgil to retake his place against the wall.

Patton felt Roman leave the crowd next to him, and watched him go and talk to the still flustered boy. He smiled slightly before looking back to Y/N.

"There will come a ruler, whose brow is laid in thorn. Smeared with oil like David's boy, o lei o lai o lord." Y/N flicked his wand one last time to create the ghost like figure of a king who took his place in walking next to the soldier and the poet, "O lei, o lai, o lei, o lord. Smeared with oil like David's boy, o lei o lai o lord. O lei, o lai, o lei, o lord."

The three figures walked back towards Y/N, disappearing into his wand in one stream of grey smoke, "He will tear your city down, o lei o lai."

Y/N stopped and nodded to where Virgil was, who was a little distracted by the Gryffindor who kept sweet talking him (Not that he minded). Y/N chuckled and rolled his eyes, swishing his wand to end the music himself and return the hall to its usual light.

The crowd erupted into applause, but no one cheered more than the Hufflepuff with glasses at the very front. He smiled and clapped and cheered and whistled, showing his enjoyment.

Soon, the crowd had grown bored of nothing else happening so they disbursed. Left behind was Patton and Logan, seeing as Roman had walked off with Virgil somewhere.

"Should I talk to him?" Patton asked Logan nervously, watching the boy polishing his wand before looking away.

"Of course. Or you might not have to." Logan said, "He's coming over here. Good luck." And with that, he walked off.

"What? Lo!" Patton exclaimed, beginning to go after him. But he was stopped by a gentle hand on his shoulder. He quickly turned and came face to face with Y/N, "H-Hey."

Y/N smiled at him and let go of his shoulder, he placed his hand instead on the back of his own neck. For the first time, Patton saw that the normally so confident performer was nervous.

Y/N took the hand off his neck and offered it to Patton, "My names Y/N."

"Patton."
