Departing

1st PoV

I poured myself a cup of tea watching the skies in boredom. That brat Raizel isn't here yet. I look at my clothing, already crunched up unlike its ironed form minutes ago. My black thin sweater wrapping my abs clearly seen, as I wear my jogger pants in comfort. Truth, this clothes weren't invented yet in this time of the year, shaggy oversized clothes are trends these days. I don't know yet if I should add clothing to my company.

Anyway, the honk of a peculiar car interrupted me and I lay my down my tea. It was just exactly 10 pm the honk arrives, I already said I prefer earlier comings but Raizel seems a perfectionist. He atleast matured, rather than the short tempered arrogant man before, he's now pretty loyal. My legilimency says so. It cannot only read minds but also feelings ya know.

Dusting my clothes, I closed every doors of my house, getting my silver watch and a head ban as my messy dry hair curly bangs brush my eyes very annoyingly. It should prevent them from falling. Going to my room, I see the peaceful sleeping Faux in his bed.

He must be probably tired from the training yesterday...

That's what I have found out. Most magical animal have some abilities to them. Example being, owls having the ability to send off messages. Higher ups like Acramantula are mostly called Creatures. Goblins and Basilisk included. While Beast, of course those really majestic ones.

While this one is rather different, is it a beast? His skill is pretty rare.. Is it because Arch specifically picked him from me?

That is, he apparently absorb energies from his owner. Which is me.

Since years of training my core, I achieved a high amount of getting mana. Which some I won't even probably use that much cause its 'too much'.

So I won't be stingy when giving him some of my mana. But then, too overload will also harm him. So I had to be always moderate when giving him.

Nevertheless with that reminder, I did some hardcore training yesterday slipping out some few more, which might surprised Faux as it was more than the amount he's usually getting. Leading to this sleepy state.

I approached him silently as he peacefully sleeps in his bed. I carefully grab him in the right spot putting him in my broad shoulder enough for his size. Actually he's more bigger of course than my shoulder. But I don't know if he's malnourished or not, but he grows pretty slow, I expected for him to grow much more larger in a year. But he didn't, so because of that, he still can balance in my shoulders. But it's more less troublesome than carrying him by hands so thumbs up to you Faux.

I opened my front door, seeing Raizel, in his all black clothes, as in black t-shirt, black short knee length, with a suspender. He's pretty handsome I say. No homo but his platinum blonde hair with grey eyes say so.

I saw Raizel gulp from his place. Eyes wondering in thoughts. He seems to not accept yet that I'm indeed the black man that he always thought its his boss. Accidentally last week, he saw my real form after I tooked a shower in the Owling building, he's the only one who knows yet of my real identity.

I don't know yet if this guy's pride is hurt that he's been bowing perfectly and serving an almost 11 year old boy. Probably is if he were me.

I looked at the car he brought, the latest Aaron Martin Lagonda. It's pretty costly but worth it with its design and performance. We're going back to the muggle world. Its the plan for being not discovered as a muggle who already knows about the Wizarding World.

"Raizel, did you call them?" I question him getting inside the car smelling the sweet air only cars give.

"Yes sire, I've informed the 'Owlers' to come by at England, total of seven, only five will be able to attend the other two ask me to give their deepest apologies," He said in his secretary like voice, formally talking to me, which I found pretty uncomfortable.

"What about the...-two?" I asked again.

"The two? The Owls or...Mister Ar-"

"Nevermind, that's for later," I waved off, and he obediently nodded. Are they still not found yet? Those two... my mentors...

He starts the car and started driving off to the neighborhood of Hogsmeade, a picturesque little village of cottages and shops, with enchanted candles hanging in the trees during the holidays. It is also near the location of the train station used by the Hogwarts Express, where I will be going now.

During the drive, I saw some students of Hogwarts. Some playing, some just bonding with their friends. Lovely eh?

Realizing, I don't have any friends really. Not like I really want them as I treat them maybe just a bother, but I don't really know. Justin and Tasia sure did became my friends, and maybe if we would consider my mentors Claude and Arch, but will they be even in Hogwarts?

I never really heard of them being in Hogwarts if I go back to my memories. So hoping for them to be there would be hopelessly impossible.

But then, they're some good friends actually. Tasia is the violent bully if someone bother her yet heroic type when someone is getting bullied, while Justin is the very talky chatbox who utters nonsense about muggle things such as Physics or Chemistry that we don't understand who doesn't care about propel that much. They should have a good future ahead of them with those talents.

I stare at the windy street of Hogsmeade, there I see Zonko's joke shop. Up there is The Three Broomstick. The inn and pub of Hogsmeade. It's where I stayed for the first day when I got here. Very noisy I say, but still, very warm when winter came.

Then there's Honeydukes, a place I often go out. Hey, I'm still a kid, I like sweets! Chocolates are my stuff. Actually, I got dozens of them in my bag right now.

Very faraway, with its silhouette only seen, is Shrieking Shacks, the very place where Snape died. Who knew that greasy git is thirsty for Harry's eyes all along? Lmao, that thought always gives me laugh, I admit, pretty dramatic, how his lovestruck and lovesick with Mrs. Lily Evans, and forced himself to take care of Harry. But boy, I studied about the potion ingredients and the first thing he says to Harry is 'I bitterly regret Lily's death' disguising it with the question 'What would I get if add powdered root of Asphodel to an infusing of Wormwood?

Sure... sure... That sly snake...

Really Snape? You've been hiding your soft inner personality with those strict punishment you always give when students are in detention? Really?

Though being dramatic is always him. Those wavings of his greasy ass hair. His robe flawlessly waving in the air. Dang... he even beats the dementors for that..

He didn't really took notice of me, I was always on time that it doesnt lead me detention that will give me attention. Nor also good anyway. Not like I liked to be notice by that emotic oldy.

Going next, there's also the Hog's inn of Aberforth Dumbledore. It's appearance is not very welcoming but it has some great foods. I heard it's the room to eat food as in Room of Requirements (RR), there's the transfiguration rule of no food summoning. You can only multiply it, enlarge or reduce, or if you know the specific location of the food, you can summon it.

Dang... did I spent my past life just gathering all the rumours and gossips? Learning about other people's life?

Thumbs up to me I guess, it's becoming useful now..

I swayed those thoughts away as we arrived shortly at 10:30 am at the train station, the end of King's Cross.

Parting alone, I sent out immediately to find a good spot, a silent compatment. I lately noticed about my distancing to humans. Perhaps because I stayed in my lonely home for months already. In isolation with Faux. So I was not ready yet....

Coming into the train, there were already few people lingering around with their own business. Mostly, them packed in the same compartment. They stared at me as what people always do when a person arrives. I simply ignored them going to the end going to a compartment.

Getting in, I lay my bag beside me as I sit. Carefully removing Faux in my shoulder patting him as he peacefully stays still. I then let him sleep for more laying him to the other side.

Soon, Raizel followed carrying a small keychain like item. Presumably, the luggage. He goes in not letting an eye on me. He's an awkward little man. Reminds me of Harrison back in the orphanage.

He then sits in front of me, in a straight body more straighter than a fucking pole. I gulp incredulous of this man.

"A-ahm.. You can sit casually ya know.." I informed him as he coughs embarrassingly. Moving onto a more comfortable position.

We're pretty awkward..

Soon, the clock reaches the 50th minute and people started increasing. It was getting more louder and pretty annoying to the ears. Since we're faraway, there were only few in this section fortunately..

Then reaching its climax, several dozens of people started hoarding in. Raizel quickly locking the door compartment. Wow... ruthless....

But it was in vain as one guy started knocking in with his smiley sweaty face.

Bitch, you want to get in?

Oh wait.... I guess this is a train station....

I just smiled half heartedly, as the awkward Raizel turn again the door to unlock it. The guy brought a strong smell of masculinity, probably little bit older than a seventh year.

He sat beside me where Raizel gulps immediately sweat droppings, disbelief obvious in his face. He made a face sign to me telling, 'Sir, do you want to switch with me?'

I just shaked it off. Moving to the side more for distance between our body.

It was all silence until the guy spoke.

"Hi mates! My name is Walter." He said in a jolly light voice. Like what? You expect us to answer?

There's a moment still, and realizing that no one is answering him back, I signaled Raizel immediately who laughs nervously.

"O-oh, I-I'm Rai" He introduced himself, scratching his neck repeatedly..

Now that's done-

The two looked at me in wonder. What? I made a confused fa- Oh right...

It's been a long time since I've introduced myself really.. Do I even still know my name?

"F-Faust, that's my name," I responded where it finally ended in the most uncomfortable way.

The guy, named Walter, nodded. He had the looked that he wanted to continue more, I didn't want to converse more so I go first speaking to Raizel.

"H-hey, brother, I'm going to sleep first.."

Raizel crunched his face. Flustered. Brother?

He just reluctantly nodded at me, me faking to sleep to shut Walter up. He would probably stop now that theres me sleeping.

There's the honks of the train, and it was departing now. Shit... I'm motion sick, I forgot....
