Hoggy Hoggy Hogwarts!

My parents had managed to bag the job, as they agreed the pay of one teacher, while sharing the job between them. The Headmaster was happy, and according to them, my parents were happy, as I was a troublesome child, and couldn't keep myself getting into trouble.

The Hogwarts was a school of magic, and there were rarely a couple who worked as a teacher here. But to have two parents who had a child, and were willing to live at the castle, at the trade-off of allowing a child to live at the castle, was unprecedented, and yet not difficult to accept to.

My parents were rich, and when Dumbledore was "explained", that we left Britain, because we had servants of Dark Lord coercing them to serve him.

My parents informed him, of my magical gifts, and what an anomaly I was. Dumbledore served as Chief Warlock, and was old enough, before the secret article about the Sacred Twenty Eight Families was published by Cantankerous Nott.

So, he was aware, of the Noble ancestry of my father, and the deep nobility of my mother. He believed, the blood of the Old Kings had brought the gifts of old magic into my blood, and my parents made the best decision to keep me hidden from the public eye, or I would be made a pawn to the schemes and ambitions of the evil fools who run rampant in the society today.

He had allowed us to immediately relocate to the Castle, and my parents were ready, with their belongings packed, just in case.

I was also given a strict talking down, by Minerva McGonagall to not run around the classes when the term starts, and to not reveal my presence to other students.

I was however, allowed to visit Greenhouses and Professor Kettleburn's grounds, along with the grounds where Hagrid lived and cared for the creature herd.

Among the professors from cannon, only Kettleburn, Flitwick, Minerva and Snape taught in this decade, as apparently, the professors for Arithmancy, Runes, were all young now. The other professors were good and capable, as each of them was Master in their fields, and apparently, Dumbledore even offers Alchemy as an Elective, if students get O in their Transfiguration, Arithmancy, Potions, Astronomy, Herbology and Charms OWLs.

All of the professors were told of an underaged boy taking residence in the castle, but only Flitwick, McGonagall and him knew of my abilities. I explicitly told Dumbledore that Snape is to not be trusted, "He smells like bad snakes and lies." I then spoke in German, "Fawkes told me that Snape is an agent of the Snakeface!"

Apparently, that was alarming to him, as Dumbledore trusted Snape. He immediately called for Fawkes, and asked the same question, and I made the phoenix agree to convey to Albus that Snape is a traitor, and liar.

Snape didn't have a Dark Mark, as Voldy wanted a spy in Hogwarts, and also a recruiter. And after that, finding an excuse of burdening the Potion Master with too many tasks, Snape was relieved from the position of Head of Slytherin, and my Father took that position.

Slowly, Albus contacted Horace, to protect him from the backlash, of the Dark Lord's secret being out, and he was forced to agree to resume his position as Potion Master, from next term.

But only my parents, Minerva and Dumbledore knew of it. Minerva had taken a shine to me, and she would often be seen entertaining me, while we gathered for dinner.

Apparently, mother and father were prodigy at Transfiguration, and were well liked by all the teachers, since they had quite a good score, and reputation, and despite being from Slytherin, they were polite and cordial with all other houses.

Once, my parents and Minerva were walking near the Great Lake, when the Giant Squid came from the Lake, and dragged me in. My parents were worried, but calm, while Minerva was frantic and worried.

She was ready to blast the squid from the water, when I came from the lake, sitting on the Squid's head.

It just wanted to greet me, and said, 'You smell like the Deep One!'

I thought of telling him that, there are deeper ones, and that Kraken is not even a god, compared to the Eldritch Beings.

But I said, 'I can turn into a Kraken' and transformed into a baby Kraken, when he rubbed it's tentacles against me, and let me sit on his head, as he swam upwards.

I had found, that I can breathe underwater, swim underwater without a need to even transform into a Kraken, and using magic, I could speed through water like Aquaman does.

But when I came from the water, I decided to scare Minerva again, by transforming into a baby Thunderbird chick, and flew towards my mother, and transformed back into human.

I saw Minerva gape at me, "Your son is an Animagus?"

I looked at her, as if she was an idiot. "I was a bird, not Animagus."

My mother laughed loudly, and held me tight, while she waved her wand and dried me off.

I waved at the Squid, and it waved its tentacles at me, saying to come visit it again.
