The rest of the lessons

Merlin's pov

"Well, mr emry's you impress me with your magic reserves at your age, BUT, I should have you know that such use of that much of it again will result in detention. Do I make my self clear?" Professor thorin calmly explained.

"Yes sir" I managed to mumble out.

"Ah, before I forget. Salazar would like to see you and Zack down in the arena after duelling class." Thorin quickly informed me before making his way back to the others. "With all that excitement over I believe it best we end todays lesson here, hurry along now. You don't want to be late for ancient runes,prof Robbin would hardly be happy."

With that all the students quickly packed up and were on their way.

Me and Falkor were on a mission, a mission to find the kitchens. Yeah we messed up a bit and missed breakfast for more exploration which bore fruits in the discovery of many more hidden rooms and little treasure troves of information and gold. But it also came with the disadvantage of being starving.

As such we have been weaving around these halls for the last hour in search for the kitchens, asking portraits and checking behind suits of armour and statues. So far unfortunately we have had little success. It was in this moment of distraction that I ran into the wall, yes unsightly I know, but surprisingly this proved to be most useful as the all I had run into just happened to have a tapestry I was familiar with hanging off it.

"Hey Falkor watch this." I shout over my shoulder as I raise my tail and proceed to tickle a pear on said tapestry. Which then let out a few short giggles before swinging open. All I got was I quiet "wicked" before he quickly jumped through the hole into the kitchens, I was quick on his tail.

Entering the kitchen we saw an assortment of elves running around preparing for lunch, not standing on ceremony me and Falkor started raiding. No meat was spared from our tyranny, our presence did not go unnoticed though and we were quickly staved off by the elves who were quite unhappy with our behaviour.

Before we could get into anymore trouble we bolted out of there making use of all the passages we found yesterday, eventually escaping the wrath of the house elves. Eventually we came to one of the gold stores we found, when we said we took all the gold and books what we really meant was we are planning on moving all of it into the most secure hidden room we can find.

"What a filling meal." Falkor voices as he turns into his dragon form while sitting down. Falkor's figure was vastly different to mine his scales a pure white that perfectly reflected the light to highlight him in the best way possible, his frame also stood at 8ft tall and17ft long quite a bit bigger compared to my 6ft tall 12ft long more slender build.

As he turned to look at all the gold surrounding us, not one to pass up an opportunity I jumped at him while shouting "yes, but there is always room for dragon meat." Taking him by surprise I managed to knock him over, though my victory was short lived as he used his tail to whip me in the face before locking my neck in place with his mouth which he could reach all the way around my neck.

"I concede, I concede." I shouted out laughing

After ancient runes and duelling theory me, Alex and Zack quickly made our way to potions. Using the knowledge sent to me by astarot we arrived early using the multitude of secret passages on the lower floors that he had explored.

Not 15 minutes later the rest of the class came in being stalked by the professor. Once all the students were sat and situated the prof stood at his desk says a piece of chalk started writing on the blackboard behind him. "I am professor Ramsey, as you might have guessed, your potions teacher."

"Today we will be brewing the Epicurus potion. Now can anybody tell me what this potion does?" Asked prof Ramsey which resulted in a few students, notably ravenclaws, raising their hands. Picking at random prof Ramsey chose a ravenclaw girl. "It's a potion made by Epicurus 200 years ago designed to strengthen the soul ,when brewed correctly it greatly increases magical abilities if you enhance your body and mind at the same time, a requirement to keep the magical trinity in balance. But if brewed incorrectly it can fracture the soul when consumed permanently ruining any chances of ever using magic ever again."

"That is correct, and as such we will not be consuming anything you make today in case of any mishaps in that may happen since it is your first lesson. But do not fret within no time you will all be at a level where what we create in class is consumable." Prof Ramsey said with an air of authority, it was clear that he was taking this rule incredibly serious.

With that the class begun, the potion was simple despite the very precise way the ingredients must be prepared but the real struggle came from the sheer amount of them there were. Which in hindsight was probably the reason we brew this potion first since the wide variety of experience with handling ingredients it provides us with.

"Aaaaaand, that's time. Please bring a sample of your potion to the front I will check it between now and out next lesson." Prof Ramsey announced from the front.

After giving in my potion I made my way to the door just to be stopped the moment it opened. There on the other side was the beast keeper "professor, aren't we supposed to have free time then beast studies?" I voice my question.

" The clock struck 2 minutes ago, 2 minute break. That's all you kids need, follow me." He let out in a heavy voice fitting of his larger frame.

Beast studies was held in one of the many side arenas constructed outside the main grounds, unlike the main one which was in the centre of the castle in a court yard .Which is dug into the ground so that as long as you were at any of the in facing windows you could see whatever spectacle was happening within not to mention the many stand's surrounding it.

The side arenas were much more like mini Roman coliseums, 8 of them surrounded hogwarts on the plain that encircles the steep hill that it was built upon. One even sat upon the Great Lake.

Our beast studies lesson today was unfortunately uneventful, consisting of only learning the rules and being introduced to all the equipment, we re also told that entering any of the arenas without express permission from a professor can lead to instant expulsion. So nothing special there.

It was quickly coming time for probably the most anticipated lesson of the day, flying.

Standing in the middle of the field was our flight teacher Axar "until you are capable of full body control you will be using artefacts as a medium to achieve flight" said Axar handing out many small metallic cubes covered in an array of runes, few of which I recognised from our ancient runes class.

With the cube in hand I could feel gravity relinquish its control over me.

so I may continue writing this, don't get your hopes up since this was a very spontaneous idea so I might just stop again plus reading over my own work I'm realising inconsistency's and just issues with the writing in general so we'll see where this goes
