25. second day of school

Awoke once again by his lovely alarm clock and doing his daily ritual of exercise shower prepare. he also had a talk with Luna about what happened yesterday, he is freely able to discuss these things with her because she has natural occulmency shields from either being a born seer or some other odd thing in her mind basically if someone tries to pry in her head all you get is a massive migraine her head is like pure chaos there's no order or direction she doesn't even need to train life is truly unfair. But besides that some of the older families of wizards, purebloods if you must train their children from the young age in occulmency. It helps to keep emotions in check and probes out of the kids minds. anyway after a bit of pouting from her about me not taking her and me explaining why, she relented I didn't want to take the chance with one of those nasty suckers being anywhere near her. my mental age may be in the 40s now but I think when I was reborn god messed with my brain and wisdom a bit we all know often times it's harder for a full grown adult to learn new things and a child picks them up rather quickly not going to go into full blown brain doctor mode cause I have no idea but I'm 100% sure puberty is going to suck. I mean I haven't really been doing many adult things unless you count working 5 jobs with my shadows adult like and trying to slowly prepare for the future. I want to have fun in all these world's and not Saitama my way through world's I want to relax take my time when the shit hits the fan I can expect myself to be right there on the front lines dodging spellfire or arrows or kunai with the Mc in any world. But for now breakfast. My attention span seems to be shot also.

breakfast goes just like yesterday except I get a letter from mom asking about how it's going and send hedwig off with a reply I continue to tease Daphne its fun to watch her icy persona crumble and poke fun at Harry about personally starting a fan club for him. He looks terrified but little does he know it comes next year. He got a letter from Hagrid apparently and invited us down to his house and asked if we would like to go I gladly accept Hagrid is a good man and often finds rare items in the forest he also loves huge monsters the more dangerous the more cute to him I've been waiting to meet the gentle giant and I want to see the infamous rock cakes I'm wondering if I could use it for some type of epic smashing weapon. Today we have double potions with the slytherins I know exactly what's going to happen and I look at Harry in pity he just looks confused. After that we have history of magic then lunch the double study time dinner followed buy astronomy I don't even know what that's a required course probably something to do with old rituals based on celestial bodies from back in they day they don't really do anymore.

now then about potions I'm actually quite interested in learning you can make huge profits off being a potion master and I have a plan to make a new friend in class and have my shadow stealthily steal a certain potions book and maybe a few others for my collection. Liu Kang my shadow number 1 has been teaching my combat gnomes in the trunk. shadow number 2 my personal assassin stays hidden in my shadow now for just incase emergencies and my other 4 shadows are prowling the forbidden forest doing whatever be it mapping out territories trying to melee acromantulas and failing or just collecting random plants that look interesting. all my shadows have my basic stats so it's pretty common I can't go on a slaughter spree with 11 year old strengths I mean I could have them just blast through with magic but then I'd have no new monster training partners besides ones in the lake and a grindylow grind sounds awful. anyway after getting my books and my potions kit Potions lessons took place down in one of the dungeons. It was colder here than up in the main castle, and would have been quite creepy enough without the pickled animals floating in glass jars all around the walls. we make our way down the to cold dank dungeons and head into class I sit down next to the one person who is probably more dangerous than Neville in the class one Nymphadora dont-call-me-that Tonks. A Metamorphmagus is a witch or wizard who has the ability to change their appearance at will, without the need for a wand, spell, or potion. which is a skill that's absolutely fascinating in my opinion. In most books she's often taken advantage of due to her ability and doesn't show her true appearance because she's ashamed she looks like her insane aunt Bellatrix Lestrange previously Black her mother's biological sister. I'll work with her on that honestly Bellatrix was always kinda hot in that super crazy way and I could always use a slightly insane maid for my castle but let's just avoid that dangerous thinking for now.

"Ryan Diggory pleasure to meet you" I said as I place down my things and give my most charming smile and offer my hand.

"Tonks just Tonks" she shakes my hand blushing slightly with her pink hair it's quite cute. I must say with my dazzling good looks even with my slight baby fat on my cheeks still I do well. after we introduce ourselves Snape, like Flitwick, started the class by taking the roll call, and like Flitwick, he paused at Harry's name Ah, Yes," he said softly, "Harry Potter. Our new -- celebrity."Snape finished calling the names and looked up at the class. His eyes were black, . They were cold and empty and made you think of dark tunnels."You are here to learn the subtle science and exact art of potionmaking," he began. He spoke in barely more than a whisper, but they caught every word -- like Professor McGonagall, Snape had the gift of keeping a class silent without effort. "As there is little foolish wand-waving here, many of you will hardly believe this is magic. I don't expect you will really understand the beauty of the softly simmering cauldron with its shimmering fumes, the delicate power of liquids that creep through human veins, bewitching the mind, ensnaring the senses... I can teach you how to bottle fame, brew glory, even stopper death -- if you aren't as big a bunch of dunderheads as I usually have to teach."

More silence followed this little speech. Hermione was on the edge of her seat and looked desperate to start proving that she wasn't a dunderhead. I waited for the upcoming catastrophe that is Harry and Hermione I'll have to fix that hand raising habit of hers. "Potter!" said Snape suddenly. "What would I get if I added powdered root of asphodel to an infusion of wormwood?"I don't know, sir," said Harry. "Let's try again. Potter, where would you look if I told you to find me a bezoar?"

Hermione stretched her hand as high into the air as it would go without her leaving her seat, Ryan just facepalmed at this teachers pet doomed to fail and Harry didn't have the faintest idea what a bezoar was.

Snape's lips curled into a sneer.

"Tut, tut -- fame clearly isn't everything."

He ignored Hermione's hand.

"I don't know, sir."

"Thought you wouldn't open a book before coming, eh, Potter?"

Snape was still ignoring Hermione's quivering hand.

"What is the difference, Potter, between monkshood and wolfsbane?"

At this, Hermione stood up, her hand stretching toward the dungeon ceiling.

"I don't know," said Harry quietly. "I think Hermione does, though, why don't you try her?" Ryan internally winced at that. poor poor boy.A few people laughed; Snape, however, was not pleased.

"Sit down," he snapped at Hermione. "For your information, Potter, asphodel and wormwood make a sleeping potion so powerful it is known as the Draught of Living Death. A bezoar is a stone taken from the stomach of a goat and it will save you from most poisons. As for monkshood and wolfsbane, they are the same plant, which also goes by the name of aconite.Well? Why aren't you all copying that down?"

There was a sudden rummaging for quills and parchment. Over the noise, Snape said, "And a point will be taken from Gryffindor House for your cheek, Potter." honestly Ryan didn't see much point in house points or the house cup at least quidditch he understood as it was a sport it's pretty much just a useless cup to show off between the teachers.Things didn't improve for the Gryffindors as the Potions lesson continued. Snape put them all into pairs and set them to mixing up a simple potion to cure boils. He swept around in his long black cloak, watching them weigh dried nettles and crush snake fangs, criticizing almost everyone Ryan had practiced preparing materials and helped showed Tonks how not to drop everything in at one go and she knocked a lot of things over blushing and apologizing constantly but I found it kind of cute I managed to barely save our potion when clouds of acid green smoke and a loud hissing filled the dungeon. Neville had somehow managed to melt Ron's cauldron into a twisted blob, and their potion was seeping across the stone floor, burning holes in people's shoes. Within seconds, the whole class was standing on their stools while Neville, who had been drenched in the potion when the cauldron collapsed, moaned in pain as angry red boils sprang up all over his arms and legs."Idiot boy!" snarled Snape, clearing the spilled potion away with one wave of his wand. "I suppose you added the porcupine quills before taking the cauldron off the fire?"

Neville whimpered as boils started to pop up all over his nose.

"Take him up to the hospital wing," Snape spat at Ron. Then he rounded on Harry, who had been working next to Neville."You -- Potter -- why didn't you tell him not to add the quills? Thought he'd make you look good if he got it wrong, did you? That's another point you've lost for Gryffindor."As they climbed the steps out of the dungeon an hour later, Harry looked rather depressed I patted him on the back and told him not to worry about it that Fred and George often lose hundreds of points what's 2 points anyway and he seemed to cheer up a bit.At five to three they left the castle and made their way across the grounds. Hagrid lived in a small wooden house on the edge of the forbidden forest. A crossbow and a pair of galoshes were outside the front door. When Harry knocked they heard a frantic scrabbling from inside and several booming barks. Then Hagrid's voice rang out, saying, "Back, Fang -- back." Luna was excited about the 'PUPPY' Ryan wondered what she was going to say about meeting fluffy later on.

Hagrid's big, hairy face appeared in the cracks he pulled the door open.

"Hang on," he said. "Back, Fang."

He let them in, struggling to keep a hold on the collar of an enormous black boarhound.

There was only one room inside. Luna was giggling and scratching at fang who was all to happy to lick her ears and slobber everywhere she is going to need a shower after this bath I think. meanwhile I zoned right in on the weapon of mass destruction also known as rock cakes meanwhile a screen popped up in front of my eyes. [Rock Cake (perfect) durability (infinite/unbreakable) +15 crush damage - Effects- Enemy of teeth: breaks teeth like brittle glass. Notes: enemy of dentists since the dawn of time] isn't that just a rock?!?!? obviously this is just my crazy internal dialogue this may or may not have happened but I pocket a cake just in case.There was only one room inside the hut. Hams and pheasants were hanging from the ceiling, a copper kettle was boiling on the open fire, and in the corner stood a massive bed with a patchwork quilt over it "Make yerselves at home," said Hagrid "This is Ryan and Luna my new friends," Harry told Hagrid, who was pouring boiling water into a large teapot and watching Ryan discreetly pocket rock cakes for some reason. Fang rested his head on Luna's knee and drooled all over her robes. so unsanitary.Harry told Hagrid about Snape's lesson. Hagrid, like Ryan , told Harry not to worry about it, that Snape liked hardly any of the students."But he seemed to really hate me."

"Rubbish!" said Hagrid. "Why should he?"

Yet Harry couldn't help thinking that Hagrid didn't quite meet his eyes when he said that. Harry picked up a piece of paper that was lying on the table under the tea cozy. It was a cutting from the Daily Prophet Ryan knew what was gunna happen next Harry and Hagrid where there that day for the stone. and quirrelmort broke in the same day I must say they got quite lucky."Hagrid!" said Harry, "that Gringotts break-in happened on my birthday! It might've been happening while we were there!"There was no doubt about it, Hagrid definitely didn't meet Harry's eyes this time. He grunted and offered him another rock cake. Which Ryan took he was planning on starting a collection.As Harry Ryan and Luna walked back to the castle for dinner, their pockets weighed down with rock cakes Ryan had refused to leave.Harry thought that none of the lessons he'd had so far had given him as much to think about as tea with Hagrid. Had Hagrid collected that package just in time? Where was it now? And did Hagrid know something about Snape that he didn't want to tell Harry? Ryan knew that detective conan was now on the case just like the story he would help out better than Ron ever would all he knew was chess they all still talked sometimes with Ron but not as much as the story.
