11 Lessons at Hogwarts

Everyone was still shocked by the scene in front of them, most of the people present had awakened their Phantoms at their First or Second Magical Awakening and others had done it through Hard Work, Exercise and the Awakening Potion. But they had no idea that there was such a difference between Phantoms. Although some of the kids present were Hardworking like Theodore Nott, whose Father was a Death Eater but after he saw the growth of the Wizarding World, he realized that even if Voldemort came back, he would not be as big of a threat as before. So, he came clean and started anew and focused on his son, who awakened the Hell Mouth Snake, a legendary beast who according to legend whose mouth served as the entrance to Hell. There were other examples like Neville Longbottom, Luna Lovegood who worked hard and awakened XXXXX level Phantoms but most others were kids who just wanted to play and mostly just used Potions like Draco, only those who looked at the price in the ` Beginners Guide for Wizards and Witches' and so that they wouldn't be able to afford it were like the others and worked hard, most of the kids present only awakened Phantoms similar to Draco's, at the XXX level.

Soon McGonagall arrived and brought them into the Main Hall where just like in the book, everyone was shocked to see the Grand Ceiling, Long Tables and the Wizards and Witches sitting at the front. `` It's bewitched to look like the sky outside. I read about it in Hogwarts, A History.'' Jack knew she was going to say it but still wasn't able to keep down the Sigh, ``Excuse Me! Sorry for boring you with knowledge that you already know!!'' Hermione had most certainly heard his sigh and responded in kind, meanwhile his `Friends', Ron and Harry were giggling at his misfortune. Fortunately for Jack, McGonagall started the Sorting Ceremony and Hermione ignored him. The Sorting Hat was amazing at its job, throughout the book it was shown just how correct it was placing the different people in their respective houses. Draco didn't hesitate to curse a fellow student to reach his goal, Neville stood up and defeated Nagini, Cedric Diggory was a just, loyal and hard working person and Flitwick was a duelling champion who overcame the prejudice of the wizarding world with his intelligence. They were all well suited to their houses, Jack like everyone was excited to see which House he would belong to. Slowly everyone went up when their name was called and it went just like in the book, Harry, Ron and Hermione went to Gryffindor, Hannah Abbott, Susan Bones were in Hufflepuff etc.

``Jack Williams!'' McGonagall called out his name and he didn't take any time putting the Hat onto his head. ``Hmm! difficult, very difficult. You are brave, smart, loyal but also cunning. People like you don't appear often but they are uncommon. Now rather than me and you waste time, which house do you want to be in?!'' most of those words were said through Legilimency, so Jack answered back in the same way, `Gryffindor' at the same time he said his words, the Sorting Hat shouted out the same as well, `` Gryffindor'!!'' the Gryffindor table clapped loudly and cheered and welcomed Jack, especially the Golden Trio and some other Family friends like Percy, Fred and George and Neville. After the ceremony, Dumbledore went through his speech about the Dark Forest being forbidden, the Third Floor corridor closed to those who didn't want to suffer the most `terrible death' and so on but all the glumness went away as soon as the food appeared on the table. Jack had to say, the House Elves at Hogwarts were experts at making food. Nothing on the table was below a Five Star Hotel standard, the main dishes, the side dishes even dessert was top class. When the students finished eating, everything vanished from the table, leaving no mess whatsoever, leaving all Muggle Born kids to think the same thing, `I love Magic!'

After dinner everyone went away to their Homerooms and it wasn't without a adventure. With moving staircases, magic doors, Ghosts and taking paintings, it was like a can of fun things that never ended giving out fun things to play with. Even Jack couldn't wait to spend the next seven or so years to explore every single part of this castle. He may even find some old magic book hidden behind a door or a wall that would let him advance on his plans to become a God. But for now, all he wanted to do was sleep. The next day was all right, the classes were pretty boring for Harry, Jack and Ron (Hermione – obviously yes). Even the newly added Physical Education class and Muggle Subjects were too easy for them as Jack's house was a school for the Three and Hermione already had the knowledge from both Muggle and Wizard worlds and had even managed to awaken a Kamaitachi, the Japanese XXXXX Magical Beast with the help from the information from `Beginners Guide for Wizards and Witches'. So, the Muggle Classes on Monday and Tuesday were boring for the three of them and most, most of the muggle born or half-bloods but for the `Noble Family' kids, it was hell.

The Physical Education classes went all week long alongside every other subject. The rest of the week was for rest and the Magical Subjects like Transfiguration, in which the Jack, Harry and Ron received points for turning the matchstick into beautiful needles but also lost them when they used them as swords to play around in class. Potions, in which just like in the books, Snape tried to stump Harry but his plans were foiled when he heard Harry answer every question correctly, even the over the top crazy hard ones. They didn't gain any points but didn't lose any either, much to the dismay of Snape, Draco and the rest of Slytherin House. In charms, Flitwick was impressed with the four of them when they all made the feather float high in the sky but was shocked when Seamus blew up not only the feather but also the desk in front of him. It was lucky he had practiced with the Magic Control Ring otherwise with the amount of Magical Energy the current him possessed, half the classroom would be dead or injured. But everyone had much better results in every class, with the Magic Control Rings and the `Beginners Guide for Wizards and Witches' helping everyone since the start of their Magical Journey, there was bound to be improvements.

But there were still some places there was no progress, such as the Flying Class with Madame Hooch, there was no Remembrall involved nor was Neville injured but Malfoy came up and tried to knock Harry off of his broom during the class. But Harry had the genetic of James Potter, a world class seeker and the only thing Draco accomplished was to rush into a wall and break his broom, fall and sprain his wrist. Madam Hooch rushed him to the hospital issuing the same warning as in the books, ``None of you is to move while I take this boy to the hospital wing! You leave those brooms where they are or you'll be out of Hogwarts before you can say 'Quidditch.' Come on, dear.'' Draco was wailing like he had just been stabbed or shot and they could all hear him say, ``Wait till my Father hears about this'', making even the people from the Slytherin house laugh. Jack didn't have anything against the kids who were just brainwashed by their parents so he went ahead and greeted the person he found most approachable, ``Hey Man! Theodore Nott right, My name is Jack, Jack Williams. Nice to meet you.''

Most people on the grounds on both sides were shocked to see this, except for Ron and Harry from Gryffindor and Daphne and Theodore from Slytherin. Theo had no problems with Jack because his Dad wasn't an assho*e to him in this life while Daphne was thankful as the awakening ceremony cured her sister from the Blood Curse of their family. ``Nice to meet you too! Hey man, thanks for .. everything!'' Jack laughed it off and the people from both sides saw this and thought they were crazy until Daphne Greengrass came up to Jack with and said the same thing, ``Hey Jack, Harry, Ron How are You all?! Jack,I just wanted to thank you once again, for everything.'' Jack knew of her family's circumstances both from the books and from personal relations. The Greengrass family came personally to their House to thank them, Jack had only felt that happy when Lupin was cured of his Werewolf disease. Jack greeted her back, ``Hey Daphne, How's everyone back home?'' followed by Ron and Harry, ``So, you still okay with me being a Half-Blood?'' ``and me being a ``Blood Traitor?'' the only thing Ron and Harry received for their jokes was a death stare and the sight of Daphne's Phantom and her wand glowing red. ``Sorry!! Sorry!! Daphne, come on it was just a joke, you wouldn't hurt your friends over something like this would you?! Would You?!''

When they saw her pondering and her Phantom, a Three Headed Hydra fully formed. Both looked at each other and ran. But the XXXXX level Phantom was faster and soon, they were hanging upside down and only released when Jack, Theo and the reluctant Hermione had had enough of throwing things at them. Hermione comforted the two while Jack decided to pour salt into their wounds, ``You two should know better than anyone, I mean our moms are all super nice when calm but super dangerous when angry, I guess the next step in punishment would be to write to you mums who are good friends with Daphne's Mom as well.'' Both of them glared daggers at Jack but begged Daphne with their eyes, who laughed a bit before saying, ``It's alright guys, come on it was just a joke, you wouldn't hurt your friends over something like this would you?! Would You?!'' the same word returned to them made everyone present laugh out loud but the two of them rushed out towards Jack who was already in air on his broom laughing at them.
