The next day, Michael woke up early in the
morning and looked around and found he is in a single bedroom and there is no one else other than him. He mumbled, " it's still six o'clock. Breakfast is at 7:30."
There's still time. Let's check the time table.
Monday: the Potions class is in the morning
and Flying class in the afternoon at 3:30.
Tuesday: Transfiguration, Charms, and D.A.D.A. in the morning
and Astronomy in the afternoon.
Wednesday: Herbology in the morning, Potions
in the afternoon.
Thursday: Transfiguration and Charms in the
morning.
Friday: D.A.D.A. in the morning, History of
Magic and Flying class in the afternoon.
Michael smiled "I like this time table. I would have
a lot of free time"
Then he looked around the room and found a hole in the corner. He spoke out, " Ravan, come out. We need to talk"
As soon as Michael called his name it came with a blue fire with thunder and perched on his shoulder
Michael spoke, "now when I am in the hall having breakfast with everyone at that time I need you to make an amazing entry and sit on my shoulder after flying around the hall once do you understand"
As Ravan nodded, he went downstairs after
freshening up and wore the uniform he bought
at Diagon Alley. The new robes will be
delivered at the end of their first day which
they need to replace the previous plain robe.
As he reached the common room, he saw
Malfoy's gang and Pansy's gang just sitting and
chatting with each other. Although it looked
more like an argument. After seeing him, they
stopped their arguments and rushed towards
him.
Malfoy asked, "; I heard that you got a separate
room for yourself. Is it real?".
Michael nodded.
Tracey then asked, "; does that mean you really
are the heir to the house pendragon, right?" Michael replied,
"what if I was, what if I wasn't?. It's not like
being a Pendragon heir makes me
stronger"
Michael went on his way to the Great Hall for
breakfast while leaving them in a confusion.
While Malfoy and the rest of the gang are
clueless, Daphne and Tracey went behind him
and joined him at the table.
Daphne spoke out, "we never introduce
ourselves properly, right?. I'm Daphne Greengrass and she's Tracey Davis" He smiled, " you already
know my name but anyway, Michael Pendragon, Prince of the united kingdom and
nice to meet you both"
Michael then asked, "can I ask something? On the
train, when we first met, I saw four of you
stuck together. Did you know each other even
before"
Daphne replied, "of course. All our
families' children knew each other since we we're
little kids"
As they were talking about various things,
slowly, all the tables were filled with students.
They started their breakfast with dozens of
varieties of dishes that appeared all over the
table. Soon, several owls began to fly with letters and gifts in the Great Hall. Many of their deliveries
belong to the first years as they just got sorted
into the House.
As Harry was reading a newspaper which he
got from Ron, meanwhile on the Slytherin
table, Daphne, Tracey, Malfoy all received their
letters while Michael had received one too. He
opened his letter and it was from Charles he inquired about my health and all and how was the school he shook his head after coming to his senses he took out a paper and wrote back his reply while he was writing Malfoy looked at him and said.
Malfoy: what did you get pendragon.
Michael: a letter from home.
Daphne: here you can use my owl to send it, it seems your owl has already left.
at that everyone laughed looking at them laughing
Michael smirked and said.
Michael: no need I have a way to send
they looked at Michael funingly
Michael: Ravan come here!....
with a big blue flash at the centre of the hall appeared a bird it screeched and flew around the hall and landed on Michael's shoulder and nudged his head as it all happened the entire hall was silent.
Malfoy: ph...phon...ph...oniex.... it's a phoniex how's this possible.
suddenly everyone was talking and pointing fingers at me I gave a slice of bacon to Ravan and he ate it and then took the letter and with a flash it was gone.
after a while, the hall came at peace but still many people talk about me and some already thought of me as a legend.
Daphne: you have a phoniex but how aren't they like almost extinct. and the only dumbledore has one.
Michael: well when I was 7yrs old due to a mistake shocked my butler and that night Ravan came to me and we bonded since then he has been a part of my family and he is my familiar.
after answering a few more questions I continued to fill my stomach.
Later,
Daphne, Tracey, and Malfoy went to visit Michael's
room as girls are allowed to visit Boys
dormitory although the boys can't visit the
girls' dormitory.
As they stepped inside his room, the rest of the
three were amazed and felt jealous of keeping
such a big room to himself for the next seven
years.
Then Michael spoke, "well, there is a reason for
that, you know according to what I was informed by my family being royalty in magical Britain comes with its boons so yeah I am lucky hehe."
Their classes started on Tuesday with
" Charms" that was taught by Professor Flitwick
in-class in the South Tower.
The first lessons were not as exciting as
expected. The astronomy class took place late
at night and the telescopes were so old that we
barely saw some stars. During the first charm
class, Professor Flitwick only introduced the
theoretical part of his class, which allowed me
to start last year charm book. The
herbology classes were more interesting
because I only had theoretical knowledge
about the properties of different plants and
being able to test this in a real situation was fun.
It even got me 5 points for Slytherin.
This morning's class is the Transfiguration with
McGonagall. I already know how to transform
myself at will, it shouldn't be very difficult. I get
to class early and sit right next to Hermione.
Professor McGonagall is already there,
transformed into a cat on her desk. After a few
minutes, still not seeing the professor
transform back, I pull out the final year
Transfiguration book and start studying.
-- POV McGonagall --
Like every year in the first transfiguration
class, I sat on my desk, transformed into a cat
to observe the new students. The first
to arrive is a Gryffindor, Hermione Granger
followed by a few other members of her
household, and soon after the Slytherin
students entered the room as well.
Ms Granger and Mr Pendragon both pulled out a
book and began to study, and the Gryffindor
students as well as a few from Slytherin did the
same. But when I take a closer look at Mr.
pendragons' book, it's the one for sixth years, this is curious.
I mentally classify all students who have
opened a book into the category of good
students. Most of them are here, but Harry
Potter and Ron Wesley are missing.
I was about to transform back when I hear
footsteps in the hallway and the two late
students walk into my classroom without even
having the courtesy to knock on the door.
"Phew, here we are, imagine old McGonagall's
face if we were late."
I raise an eyebrow at Mr Weasley's derogatory
remark, it looks like I have to classify him as a
troublemaker. I transform back in front of him.
" Wow, you're really good," really
impressed with my little demonstration.
"Oh, thank you for that compliment Mr.
Weasley. But maybe it would be more helpful if
I turned you or Mr Potter into a pocket watch?
So, one of you might arrive on time." I said,
sounding sarcastic.
" Sorry, we were lost. But this is only the first
class of the year and you haven't even started
yet."; Ron answers me, smugly that is starting
to piss me off.
"; Minus 5 points for Gryffindor for your
insolence. And if you got lost maybe I should
turn Mr. potter into a school map? I hope you
don't need it to find your places."
-- POV Michael --
After the incident, the first lesson was to turn a
match into a needle. Nothing too complicated,
I could do it without a wand when I was seven
years old. I changed it by tweaking the result a bit by adding the Slytherin emblem to
the bottom of the needle and laid the result in front of me before continuing to read.
"Mr Pendragon, I don't see you trying to transfigure
your match. Are you having trouble?"
"No professor, to tell the truth, I have already
finished"
" Show me"
I take the needle in front of me and disenchant
it before transforming it back in front of
McGonagall's eyes. Hermione also watched the
the whole scene, trying to figure out how I had
managed to go so fast.
"5 points for Slytherin, you can continue
reading Mr Pendragon but don't forget to listen
during class. You never know when an
an explanation might help you,"; she told me visibly
pleased with my result.
The rest of the class went without too much
trouble, Hermione and three other students
managed to turn their matches. Among them
was a Gryffindor who had fun biting his
neighbour at the table.
" Jason Enrick, minus ten points for Gryffindor.
Please get out of my classroom. You will come to
see me after school for two weeks, in
detention."
In the afternoon, it was Defense Against the
Dark Arts, but the class reeked of garlic so
much that it was impossible to concentrate.
The professor was a charlatan who
was only of interest because of the parasite
that clung to the back of his head, he had filled
his classroom with garlic to scare away
vampires but anyone with minimum knowledge
about supernatural beings knows that it is
superstition. Also, he said that his
turban had been given to him in Africa when he
had fought a zombie there.
The next morning, I go downstairs with the
other Slytherin students to have my lunch. I
take some fruits and orange juice with some
eggs and bacon and I start to eat when Daphne
comes to sit next to me.
"Look, I could use a hand. Could you explain to
me how you managed to turn that damn match
into a needle"
"Okay, if you want, I can explain it to you in the
the common room this evening. But I thought your
parents would at least have taught you how to
do that since you're from the noble Greengrass
family?"
"I'm not very good at Transfiguration and most
of the spells, my parents taught me are the kind
that isn't taught here."
" Oh, I see."
I take a piece of chicken that looks a little less
cooked than the rest and give it to Ravan, who
gulps it down. afterwards, Slytherin went to greenhouses behind the castle where Herbology is being taught by Prof. Sprout. Just like Prof. Flitwick, she too just gave an introduction about the subject and what they will be doing for the next
year.
In the afternoon, Slytherins and Gryffindors
have a joint Potions class in dungeons. Just as
Neal, Daphne, Malfoy, and others made their
way to dungeons with their necessary
equipment, they found every first year of the
Gryffindor present in the class and was ready
with their equipment set up on the desks.
It isn't that the class is the most interesting or
popular, it's just the older students urged them
as they were scared of Professor Snape who
hates Gryfindor and looks for every
opportunity to cut their House points.
As Michael entered the room, whispers began
among the Gryffindors which made
Harry a little bit happy as someone
successfully took away some of the attention
on him.
It became very hard for Harry as from the
the moment he left the dormitory, everyone who
saw him whispers among themselves and many
older students stop their work and stare at him
in curiosity, while he was on his way to the hall.
