First year exams

After the Christmas holiday, Tiberious is at the train station alongside Arcturus. People stayed away from them in fear.

Tiberius had a scar on his right eye due to his duelling training. It was caused by the spell Sectumsempra, which was taught to Arcturus by Snape.

Once they had reached the train, they saw the Bones there, Zack and Susan were boarding the train. But they all stopped when they saw Tiberius.

MC POV

The Bones looked us, mainly me as I had scar on my right eye, I was boarded the train without looking at them and went to a compartment.

I say down in silence, watching the skies out from my window. I heard my door opening. It was Susan and Zack.

Susan had a worried look, and Zack had a satisfied look on his face.

Susan spoke with a worried tone.

"Tiberius, we saw your scar. Was it caused by our great grandfather?"

"Yes, it was. It is nothing but a wound."

Zack had his hands crossed and said in a smug tone.

"I bet you regret staying with that man Tiberius. That's what you get for insulting our father."

I glanced at him.

"No, I don't regret it, as Arcturus taught me how to duel properly. Why don't I show you how strong I've become Zack."

I stood up and conjured a flame on my right hand, Zack stood back in shock, and Susan stood between us.

"Wait, Tiberius, there is no need for violence. Let's just calm down and talk."

The trolley witch came in, and I got rid of my fire just in time.

She asked if we wanted anything, I put on a charming smile and said. "No, we are fine." And with that, she left.

My charming smile left as I looked at Susan and Zack.

"Get out now, I won't ask a second time."

Susan was going to speak, but Zack dragged her away, giving me a weary look.

As we reached our destination, we went inside Hogwarts. We ate food and went to our common rooms.

Inside our common rooms, everyone asked me questions about my scar. I told them it was from training with my great grandfather.

Snape told us that in a few weeks, it was time for our exams to begin.

The other students began studying hard in the library, and so was I. The advantage I had over the other students was my Eidetic Memory.

The first exam was Charms. We all basically had to make a pineapple dance across Flitwicks table.

I successfully managed to do so with ease. I didn't pay attention to the others, though.

The second exam was Transfiguration. We all had to turn a mouse into a snuff box. I successfully did so without any difficulty.

The snuff box was a pretty sight to look at, and McGonagall nodded, saying that I had passed the exam.

The third exam was Potions, Snape had us brew the Forgetfulness Potion. I already know how to make it due to the libary back home.

Add two drops of Lethe River Water to my cauldron, gently heat it for twenty seconds, and add two Valerian springs to my cauldron.

Stir three times clockwise and wave your wand. Then, wait for 45-60 minutes. Part one was done, and now for part two.

Add 2 measures of Standard Ingredient to the mortar. Add 4 mistletoe berries to the mortar.

Crush into medium-fine powder using the pestle. Add 2 pinches of the crushed mixture to your cauldron. Stir 5 times, anti-clockwise.

I waved my wand to complete the potion. I brought the potion to Snape. He looked at it and was impressed.

The fourth exam was the History of Magic. We all had to answer questions about the inventions of the Self-Stirring Cauldron.

I knew all the answers due to my studying and Eidetic Memory.

Professor Bins was surprised by how quickly I finished and was shocked when every single answer was correct.

"Well, it seems someone has been paying attention to my class."

The other exams were easy. To be honest, it was quite boring. Now, it was the end of term feast.

Dumbledore announced that Slytherin had the most points and was in the lead. My fellow Slytherins had a smug look on their face.

But Dumbledore awarded points at the last minute to Gryffindor, to which they cheered.

My fellow Slytherins groaned in displeasure, saying that Dumbledore was playing favourites again.

The other houses celebrated Gryffindors' victory over Slytherin, which showed how my house wasn't that well liked by the others.

We boarded the Hogwarts Express with Gryffindors still cheering at their victory and shouting.

"WE WON YOU STUPID SNAKES!!!"

The Slytherins angrily glared at them, and I didn't care. After the journey was finished, I got off the train and heard the Gryffindors still cheering.

The parents of the Slytherins just sneered at the mudbloods and blood traitors.

Arcturus was there, and all eyes were on us.

"You have done well, Tiberius. Passing your exams with flying colours and being at the top of your classes. Come, let's go home."

We were about to leave, but someone got in our way. It was Sirius Bones.

The pure bloods glared daggers at Sirius, and he spoke.

"Son, why can't you see Arcturus for who he really is. His training is brutal and hellish. He gave you that scar. Didn't he?"

I had an annoyed look on my face.

"Yes, he did, but it was because of training. Speaking of training, it was not hellish at all. It was hard, but it paid off in the end.

I can not duel properly now. Do you want to see my duelling skills mutt."

The Gryffindors gasped at my insult towards Sirius, and he looked angry but calmed himself down.

Zack stormed up with his wand and fired a spell that I dodged. Sirius tried stopping him from using another spell.

"ZACK NO!!"

"But dad, he keeps on insulting you."

I got out my wand and fired a Sectumsempra against Zack, which left a cut on his chest.

Blood spurted out of Zacks chest, and he staggered backwards and soon collapsed.

Zack was on the ground groaning in pain as his family tried healing him. Sirius looked at me with sadness and turned to help his son.

Lily quickly got out a phone, much to the displeasure of the pure bloods due to their hatred of muggles and their creations.

She was calling someone.

"Severus, it's me Lily, look just come to King's Cross Station it's urgent."

As soon as she finished, Snape teleported using apparition. He saw Zack lying on the ground injured.

Snape saw me with my wand raised, and I gave him a wave and a smile. He healed Zack, and his family helped him up.

Zack glared at me with rage, and I gave him a smug smile. Snape got in between us.

"Enough of this. If you truly want to settle your differences, then you can challenge each other in a duel."

Zack looked at me with determination.

"This Wednesday, come to the training grounds on Hogwarts. Don't worry, Dumbledore will give us permission to use it. Do you accept?"

"Yes, dear brother, I accept your challenge."

I turned towards my Arcturus.

"Let's go, grandfather."

And with that, we walked off despite everyone staring at us in fear.

Spoiler Alert: Zack is going to get burned, literally.
