Surprises

I watch as a snake phases through the wall of my room and slithers up to the bed "Welcome back Envy. Did you have a good harvest?" Envy has been going out into the surroundings of Hogwarts to gain more essence. Envy can now become incorporeal and phase through walls like the ghost due to eating ectoplasm she also gained the ability grow gills after eating some fish in Black Lake. This way she can go hunt after curfew and return anytime by coming through the lake.

"Mhm I did master." Envy said in an androgynous voice.

"Oh you can talk properly now?"

Envy nods it's snake like head "Vocal cords. I managed to find a strand of centaur hair and with it I gained more intelligence and the ability to speak. Also I think I have a stronger connection to the stars."

"Wonderful!Though I wonder if this new connection to stars counts as having a cheat in Astronomy class. Tell me what other spoils you gained."

"Large wolves, more snakes, a bunch of bugs, I managed to get some unicorn hair, oh I found a nest of Acromantula." Hm that information might be useful later on. "I ate a bat oh and I found a delicious creature too here I'll show you" Envy morphed into this orange and black creature that resembled a dragon but with long antennae.

"Hm if I am correct then that is a fire drake. They can create sparks from their tails rather than breath fire" I climb out of bed and I stick out my hand and snap my fingers. Sparks emerge from my finger tips "Interesting~" I reach over and I scratch the fire drake Envy's neck causing it to kick it leg and emit as low pleasured growl from it's throat.

"Oh yes mm master. I love neck scratches!" I chuckle it appears Envy still acts like a child even though she is smarter now. Though it is a bit weird hear him moan now that it has vocal cords.

"Wanna help me prank the twins?"

Her tail wags "Yes yes yes!"

I chuckle at Envy's antics "Well when we are in class I want you to sniff out which room in Gryffindor house belongs to the twins and then turn into an acromantula and fill their beds with sticky webbing. Can you do all that without getting caught?"

"Yes master! Leave it to me!" Envy turns back into a puffskein. We both like this form because it is small and very soft so in this form Envy will cuddle up on my pillow. Plus it adds onto the whole 'Misplaced into Slytherin' thing when people see a Slytherin with an adorable puff ball on his shoulder. Same with Envy's Origin form which is the pink floating blob. Girls love the cute pink blob Envy, even Tonks does.

So far the other three houses are actually arguing about which house I SHOULD have ended up in. Because I am smart the Ravenclaws say I should be in their house. Hufflepuffs say with my kindness I should be in their house. Gryffindors think I should be in their house because I am in a prank war with Fred and George which 'apparently' takes bravery to do.

At breakfast the next day an Owl I never seen before came flying towards me and dropped a letter down in front of me. I found it odd but perhaps my mother sent the owl so whatever I opened the letter.

[Dear Loki, it's Luthor. How you been? You may be wondering how I even got this letter to you well the truth is I have known about the magical world for years. Now I am just a muggle. Yep no magic here not even at squib level. I know about magic from my cousin and pen pal, Victor Krum. He goes to Durmstrang. I asked him to purchase me an owl so I could send you some letters.

I have also informed the twins and honestly they were a bit upset you didn't tell us you were Magical. They actually started saying you are the real Loki now since you have magic like Loki does. They are very interested in seeing real magic and I admit I would like to see some as well so remember to show us sometime.

Well we will see you for Nationals, if you are allowed out of Hogwarts. We expect you to do us proud and kick all the other competitors asses. So see ya then. Oh and bring us some wizard candy. I hear that stuff is amazing.

Your friend,

Luthor

P.S. Operation: Hell in a Hand Basket has begun expect the final result in December.]

Well... That is surprising. Heh so one of my friends has known about magic for years. Well least I no longer have to keep it a secret from them. Hah they call it Operation: Hell in a Hand Basket. Nice touch to saying we are going to ruin a certain family.

After reading the letter I open up my subscription of the Quibbler.

"How can you even read that Alex?" Asked Blaise. He tried reading it once but he then said it was all rubbish.

"I find it amusing and the articles witty and captivating. Look they are talking about wrackspruts that make your head go fuzzy and they say you can order a pair of glasses to see them."

"You do know wrackspruts aren't real right? No one has ever seen one."

"Just because you can't see it doesn't make it real. To muggles dragons, vampires, and werewolves aren't real. Magic isn't real. But here we are learning about all of it. You know it is real because you were raised here so you know the truth. Who is to say that these Lovegoods don't have Family Records that show these creatures or have a special way to see them?"

"Alright alright you have a point there"

"Besides most people can't see Thestrals but they pull the carriages."

"Wait what is a Thestral?" Asked Theo

"A Thestral is a skeletal horse like creature with wings. They were once known as ill omens but that has been proven false in more recent decades. Lastly they are invisible. The only way to see them is to have seen death." I poke at my eggs

"You have seen death?" asked Tracy

"Who did you see die?" Asked Blaise.

"You remember the first day here and you saw those scars on my chest?" They nod remembering what I told them about the psycho who tried torturing me. "He died from an... accident, in front of me." All four were quick to catch on the I had killed the man. Blaise pat my shoulder and they don't bring it up again.

"Welcome back. How did your 'break' go?" Asked Harry when I came back from my tournament outing. The others in my group were also curious about it, luckily classes were over for the day.

"Well I met with my muggle friends, spent time with mother, did my homework, I won the tournament and I have been made an Honorary Goblin of the Goblin Nation" I say nonchalantly like this sort of thing happens everyday

"Wait what?!" The twins said incredulously.

"Yea Alex I think you need to clarify the honorary goblin thing" Said Harry.

"Fine fine. Ok as you all know I left on Sunday back to the muggle world to take part in the National Junior Mixed Martial Arts Tournament. Now for you wizards who don't know these things the National means the nation as in all of the U.K. or Great Britain as you may know it better. Junior is the term for ages 9 to 13. Then it goes to Teen which is 14 to 17 and finally Young adult which is 18 to 21.

"So I was set up to fight the best the Nation had in my age group. First day was the Preliminaries easy except for one match with a 13 year old who was also trained extensively but in the end I won. Leaving 32 people left to continue the tournament."

"Now here is where the Honorary Goblin thing starts. You see my bloodlines makes me more aggressive and energetic around the full moon, and before you ask I am NOT a werewolf. This comes with an urge to fight. Now the full moon began on Sunday and wouldn't end til the last day of the Tournament. I had to let off my energy."

"So I went to Gringotts as they knew of my condition and when I explained what I wanted they were more than happy to let me fight against their warriors. That first night I won their respect. The next night I won their admiration. And the last day after facing my 20th battle with the goblins they made me an Honorary Goblin. I am told this allows me passage into their city. I was even bestowed my title by the Goblin King, Jareth, himself."

"You did all that in three days?!" Exclaimed Neville

"Well nights. But basically yea. I won the tournament too" I pull out a trophy. It had a man on top striking his leg upwards. My name, the year, and the name of the tournament was engraved on it. "Also since I am not 13 yet winning the Tournament automatically puts me into Nationals Next year, I had to decline the invitation to go to Internationals, sadly."

"Alex. You have got to be the most amazing person I know" Said Neville. A round of nods came from the others except Ron who didn't understand how difficult it is to win a Tournament with nothing but your body and no magic nor how vicious goblins can be in a fight.

"Thank you. Oh I brought back some gifts from the muggle world."

"Harry, the twins, my muggle twins not you Gred and Forge, and Ashton had me bring you some more comics and some board games since they know there is no electricity here." I had them over to him over the table.

"Neville I picked you up some muggle seeds and a book of muggle plants." I pass them onto Neville. "Let's see here Tracy and Daphne I picked up some muggle magazines on muggle fashion and beauty tips along with some make up." Again I pass them the stuff "Blaise I got you some books about Sherlock Holmes."

I dig into my trunk for more "The twins I got a book on chemistry and a book of card games." I stick my tongue out at them. "Ron I got you a chess set, now it isn't wizard chest which means the pieces won't attack each other and you have to move them yourself" I pass over a wooden box to Ron that folds out into a board with the pieces inside it. "Theo I got you a book about muggle sports. I will be honest I didn't really know what to get you from the muggle side. Oh and I got a bunch of muggle candy and snacks for you all to try out"

They thank me for their gifts. and we spent the rest of the night, til curfew, eating sweets, playing games like Jenga, and me telling stories about some of the fights I had over the last three days. The twins tried playing some of the card games and Ron didn't mind the chess set not moving on it's own because he finally had his own chess set. Tracy was looking over the magazines and was asking to try some of the techniques on daphne. Theo and Blaise sat by themselves trying to read the books I got them.
