*Virgils POV*

I jumped awake at the sound of the alarm. I groaned and flipped over,slamming the snooze button before turning the alarm off. I later on my back,looking at the ceiling for a bit. I was not ready for another day at school today.

I slowly sat up,wiping my eyes and running my hands through my hair. I tossed the covers aside and got up slowly,groaning. I grabbed a random shirt from the dresser, some jeans and my favorite black hoodie.

I took off my tank top and shorts that I sleep in and tossed them onto the bed. I slipped into my clothes and grabbed my socks and shoes,putting them on and lacing them up.

I grabbed a couple books and shoved them in my backpack before zipping it up and slinging it over my shoulder.

I walked out of my room, closing the door behind me and walked to the kitchen, where mom was making breakfast.

"Morning dear!" She said happily. "I made French toast!"

I smiled and grabbed a slice. "I'll take it to go if it's ok mom. I hafta be at school a bit early today." I said,taking a bite. "Love you!" I said with my mouth full as I walked out.

"Don't talk with your mouth full you'll choke! Have a good day at school darling!" I heard her call out.

I smiled and continued to walk and eat the French toast she made me. After I finished I wiped my mouth and continued to walk, enjoying the silence in the break of dawn.

My house wasn't far from school. A good 10 minute walk. I usually got there early before anyone else. But that meant I'd be left alone so it was cool.

I went ahead and walked in, glad they opened a bit early. I walked to the library straight away. I looked for a quiet and secluded place to work at. Once I did and I sat down I looked around before taking out a book from home.

Not any old book though.

This was a book on witchcraft. Specifically summoning spells. No I'm not Wiccan or anything. But the past few weeks have....not been well for me.

I shake off these thoughts and look through it. To be honest this stuff really intrigued me. I flipped through it until- "Found it!" I grinned. A protection spell. There was different levels for it, simple to big.

I gulped and looked at what I needed. "Just pine needles and rain water?" I tilted my head.

I then remember I walk by pine trees everyday. I got up quickly and noticed something else.

I left footprints coming in. And there were loose bits of. "Pine needles!" I exclaimed,picking some up.

"Now all I need is rain water." I muttered. I pulled up my phone and was about to look up where it's raining when the librarian came in with an umbrella.

"Goodness me! It's quite a storm-Virgil! What a pleasant surprise!" She smiled. I grinned. I loved the librarian. She was old but so sweet.

She closed her umbrella. That gave me an idea.

I got up. "Wait!" I walked over. "Let me take the umbrella and take you to your office. I don't want you to slip and fall." I said.

"Such a gentleman! Where were you boys when I was your age?" She laughs and takes my arm I hold out for her.

I walked her to her office. "I'll put it by the door in the umbrella stand ok?" I tell her.

She nods. "Of course deary. Thank you again." She sits down at her desk.

I walk away and when I'm out of site, I run quickly to the book. "Put then together-" I put the pine needles on the umbrella where the droplets were. "Now day what you want to offer."

I think for a minute. "U-Uh...." What could I afford to lose. "A notebook and pen."

It said to take the items out,put the needles and water on them, and say the words.

I did as it said. I took a deep breath."Patronum vocat. omnibus una. et accipietis eas difficultates disolve meum." I said quickly.

I waited a few minutes and I didn't see anything happen. I sigh,closing the book. "I guess we wait." I said hopefully. I walk back to the umbrella stand and put it up. I walk back over.

"Where'd the notebook and pen go?!" I asked kinda scared and more than a little terrified.

The book is now opened to the same page as before, but there's a sticky note popping out of another page.

I went to flip it when the bell rang. "Crap!" I shove the book in and zipped my backpack up, running out and dashing for class.

I accidentally pump into someone. "I'm sorry! I'm really sorry but I'm late!" I say,keeping my head down and not looking at them so I don't get hurt.

I run into class and quickly take my seat,trying to ignore all the eyes staring at me. The final bell rings and I sigh in relief. "Made it."

It was gonna be that kind of day.

*?????*

I don't say anything, just let him run. I slowly bend over and grab my new notebook and pen. I look over them. "For a small offering....decent" I say.

I watch the boy run into a classroom. "I am intrigued to see how this plays out."
