Johnathan's stomach flips like a pancake as he awaits Odelia's arrival. She's going over to his mansion for the first time. His parents were well aware of this, looking out the window with him.

"You better have brought someone home worthy of our presence."

"Yes, Father..."

He'd given her instructions on how to look and act in his parents' presence, as much as he'd hate to ask her to change. Wilbur was just very picky about who the boy spent his time with. Every aspect of his life had to be absolutely PERFECT.

His instructions were simple, or as simple as he could possibly make them. Hiding the blue streak of hair somehow was a must. His parents would surely get the wrong idea if they saw such a thing. If they thought Odelia was a delinquent, they'd never let Johnny talk to her again. He doesn't know if he could take that. His second instruction was to dress well. If she doesn't have a formal outfit, her school uniform should be good enough. He'd also asked her to act polite, but she probably knew that already. Still, he had to include it just in case.

Johnathan's mother moves to open the door, even though she knows it'd earn a glare from her husband. It'd be impersonal to have a maid open the door for her. Penelope can empathize with the girl, remembering how it was to meet her husband's family. Wilbur's parents were as terrifying as he is. She doesn't know whether she it was a blessing or a curse that she'd managed to meet their standards.

Today was a very important day. Johnny has spent all morning preparing everything for when Odelia comes home from school. There's a cake sitting on the kitchen table, balloons all over the house, beautifully wrapped presents in the living room, and a tiny box up his sleeve.

Once he hears the door open, the boy waits for her arrival, getting down on one knee with the box in his hands. This is how guys present girls with rings when they're a couple, right?

Sitting on one of the couches in the school's library with his spell book in hand, Johnny waits for the student he was supposed to be tutoring to show up.

He'd reluctantly (read: voluntarily) offered to tutor Odelia Foley, who his teachers had considered to be "unteachable". Maude had tried to take up on the offer, but pretty much everyone agreed that'd be a bad idea. An unlucky witch paired up with someone obsessed with good luck was only going to be a recipe for disaster. The most skilled wizard in the class had to have some sort of chance at teaching this girl some spells.

Johnny's peers loved to tease poor Odelia. In all honesty though, Johnny couldn't help but pity her. He could never join the other students in making fun of her. He wasn't the sweetest guy in the world, but teasing Odelia crossed a line for him. She was too much of an easy target- picking on her would be like kicking a newborn puppy. Instead, he stayed out of the drama. He'd try to comfort her, but comfort wasn't his forte. Besides, his parents surely didn't want him to be associated with such a terrible magic user.

The other students were shocked when Johnny had decided to take this girl under his wing. Even he was surprised about it! They seem to be from two completely different worlds. Johnny was popular, almost every girl in the class had some sort of crush on him, and he was on his way to being one of the most powerful wizards in the world. Odelia...was nearly the exact opposite. However, being able to teach the "unteachable" student would make him look even better. It also couldn't hurt to keep this girl company. She could probably appreciate having someone spend time with her, especially someone with as much status as Johnathan Abberquack.

The wizard glances up from his spellbook once he hears the door open, then gets up to greet Odelia. He gives her a bow before standing up straight and locking his light blue eyes with her emerald ones.

It was just Johnny and Maude outside at the moment- at least, as far as they knew. They didn't see anyone else outside.

Both of them were standing as if they were in a western showdown. It was time for a duel.

"Come on. I'll let you start. Ladies first, Hexy."

Maude, filled with fury, casts her first spell. Sparks of lightning attempt to hit Johnny, but he dodges them all.

"How cute."

Immediately after, Johnny uses his magic to send invisible fists her way, which punch her about a dozen times. Each time was more painful than the last. For his finishing move, he picks her up with his magic and slams her hard on the ground. By the end of it all, the witch was barely even conscious. Tears roll down her face as she tries to stay awake.

It's only been half an hour since Johnathan's life was torn to shreds in front of his very eyes. The time between that moment and now felt unquantifiable, like he'd been sitting in the rain for an eternity. It felt all too surreal- he was free, but at the expense of his identity. His home. His family. His education. All that was left was himself, his wand, and the tattered clothes he is currently wearing. Everything else was nothing but a memory, a glimpse into his past life.

The young wizard senses someone else approaching, though he's unable to move or react. It'd take too much energy to look up and he's too empty to even muster any emotion. He remembers that there was supposed to be another tutoring session at his house, but he dismisses the thought- as if Odelia knew he'd never step foot in that house again.

{♧} Johnathan might have not worked past all of his issues with dueling, but that doesn't mean that he isn't going to push down all of his emotions for the sake of his daughter. Delilah is relying on him to help her hone her dueling skills and he has even less of an excuse now that she knows about his past. How could he carry all of this dueling knowledge and not share that with his little girl?

He can't keep running from his past. He can't let his daughter down. He can't let himself break down in front of Delilah again.

For someone who had been raised to suppress emotions for most of his childhood, Johnathan sure has become soft.

As soon as he knocks on the door of Delilah's room, something unexpected stops him in his tracks- or, rather, someone.

Alroy had summoned Wilbur to interrogate him and, hopefully, get him to apologize to Johnathan for his awful parenting. Of course, this means a clueless Wilbur is wandering around the house and it's hard for Alroy to supervise him. Since the duckling is with his mother at the moment, the man is completely unsupervised and completely capable of walking into the wrong place at the wrong time...like right now.

Johnathan leans against the wall next to the door, frozen like a deer in headlights. Wilbur is equally stunned, leaving the two to have an anxiety-filled staring contest.

Failure wasn’t an option for Johnathan. If he so much as had a narrow victory instead of winning by a long shot, Wilbur would get irritated. Dueling isn’t even anything Johnny’s that passionate about. It didn’t matter to him if he won or lost. However, he has to keep up the appearance that he’s going to be a great dueler like his father in order to maintain the status quo. It’s sad how apathy has become comforting…

Unfortunately, this means Johnathan has to duel harder than he would like with opponents who don’t necessarily deserve it. Theo happens to be another victim of Wilbur Abberquack’s standards for his son. Johnny can imagine how it must feel to be humiliated in front of his own father and feels like he has a good idea of what’s going to happen to him when he gets home. His eyes dart away, the guilt slowly eating at him as he figures out how he’s supposed to respond.
