I do not own Harry Potter and other characters by JK, however Gale Dragon owns the People with mossy green hair/the Forest are mine.
Chapter 1, Part 1: New Year, New classes, New everything
The sun was setting in a lovely horizon over a lush green forest.
"So the Ministry of Magic is now letting hybrids with more then ¼ human and magic attend school," said a man in the shadows as he read the newspaper in the fading light.
"Caw," cried a nearby black raven perched on a branch of an old, old tree.
"Agreed, about time, I mean it did take 2,789 years for the Ministry to finally take that pole out of their strict rears," The man said as he folded the paper with the faded light.
"Caw, Caw," The raven called as she flapped her wings angrily.
"Sorry Honey, I know you're touchy when it comes to magic, but its true ether way," The man said as he walked towards the raven.
"Caw…"
"Don't worry, they'll be fine. They are Forests after all," The man said as he lifted his arm for the raven to move from the branch to his arm, and the raven did so, but started moving to the man's shoulder. "The Alchemy Alliance was never as stuck up as the Ministry of Magic," The man muttered. He, unfortunately, got a nasty peck on his cheek from the raven, which was now on his shoulder. "Ow, ow, sorry, that was suppose to be in my head, not out loud, ow, stop that hurts," The man cried out as the raven continued to attack him.
After a few minute of harsh pecking the raven finally stopped. "After all this time we've been together you'd think I'd keep my mouth shut," The man said, rubbing his bruises.
"Caw," was the raven's only reply.
"Anyway, it's a new year with new possibilities and chances, so let's make it count," The man said with a smile.
A snow white owl flew into a bed room of a raven haired teen around 16 of years, with wire framed glasses, green eyes, light blue pj, and a lighting bolt scar on his forehead. "Hey Hedwig." The teen said to the white owl. Hedwig dropped a letter on the teen's night counter and flew into its cage. "Is it from school, girl?" the teen asked the owl. Hedwig gave a simple hoot.
The teen opened the letter carefully and it read 'Dear Mr. Harry Potter, this is the list of supplies you will need for school this year at Hogwarts.' Afterwards it listed the supplies needed for school.
But before Harry could read them all a shout, well more of a roar, "HARRY, LIGHTS OUT." Harry turned the lights a moment after. 'I guess I have to go to Dragon Alley tomorrow.' Harry thought before closing his eyes and fell asleep.
*In a old looking shopping Plaza the next morning*
Harry has been thinking about the list of books for a new subject they added to the curriculum.
'How to Survive in Different Terrance' By Lilian Kopper and 'What to do When Lost in the Forest' By J.T. Longwind.
"Now what could the subject be." Harry muttered out loud. The letter didn't say what the new subject was, but the supplies needed for the subject made it seem like camping, but highly unlikely. Harry walked into a book store.
As Harry went to the corner of the store, as he did he saw four red heads and they looked very familiar. "Ron." Harry called towards the one of red heads in the corner of the book store.
"Hey, Harry, good to see you, mate." Said a boy around Harry's age, with bright bowl cut red hair, freckles, brown eyes, plane dark blue shirt, worn out blue jeans, and old white shoes.
"Say any idea what the new subject is?" The teen said to his friend.
"Don't know, Harry, but I think it has to do with camping."
"I thought the exact same thing, doesn't seem likely though," Harry said in a puzzled fashion. "It didn't say on the book list either….the notice said that it was for the new subject and that was never told," Harry added. As Harry and Ron chatted a dark shadow crept closer to them. As the shadow got closer it got colder.
"Blamey, what happen to the warm air?" Ron said shivering to keep himself warm. Harry did the same.
"Top 'o da mornin'," said a creepy Irish voice from behind, Harry and Ron immediately turned around in a startled way. A boy around 11, wearing a shredded black cloak with a hood, hiding his eyes, deathly grey skin, boney gray hands, some mossy green hair showed from under the hood, had shredded black pants, no shoes revealing his boney grey feet, and was floating slightly off the ground.
"Ye're goin' ta Hogwarts as well?" said the Dementor look alike.
"Y-y-yes w-w-we a-a-are, w-w-who are you anyways?" Ron asked in fear, or because his teeth where chattering from the cold.
"Me name's Shade Forest, and ye?" The boy said in his creepy Irish tone.
"I'm Ron Weasly and my friend is…" "Don't tell him! He could be a Death Eater!" Harry exclaimed.
"Death Eater…. What be dat?" Shade asked. Harry took his wand out.
"Don't play stupid with me! Prove you're not a Death Eater. Show me your left fore-arm." Harry said demandingly.
"Don' know what ya talkin' 'bout, but all right." Shade extended his left arm and slid up the sleeve of his cloak, and revealed a golden bracelet with an extremely strange bleach white gemstone on it, but no Death Eater mark to be seen. "So, what be dis Death Eater thin' ye be talkin' 'bout?" Shade told the two in an angry tone.
"Sorry I just thought you where someone bad." Harry told the shady character in a sorry manner.
"S'all right. Lots o' folk's tink I be a bad person, don' know why, but I should be use ta it by now." Shade happily said floating up above Harry and Ron's heads. "Sa who are ya anyway?" Shade asked in a simple manner.
"I'm Harry Potter." Harry said finally expecting the ghostly boy to be amazed in some way.
"'arry Potter … … … … dat's a weird name." Shade bluntly said. Both Harry and Ron remand silent, usually when people find out he's Harry Potter they get all exited, but this kid just thinks his name was weird.
Part Two: More Than One Breed
Harry and Ron stared at the strange boy as he hovered right above they're heads.
"Shade, ya found da books ya need fa school?" called a woman in an Irish accent that had long mossy green hair that was braided back to her elbows.
"Not yet, mum. I foun' some people tha be going ta Hogwarts as well." Shade said as he turned to face his mother.
"Really, now that be interesting. What year ya be in?" The woman said as she came closer and by the look of her, she looked to be 30 at least.
"6th year, ma'am," Harry and Ron said in unison. "Na need ta be formal now, call me Aileen." The lady said nicely.
The room got freezing cold and a shadowy figure appeared behind Aileen, and it looked like a Dementor!
"Ma'am, er, I mean Aileen." Ron stammered as he pointed behind her. Aileen looked behind.
"Specter, what'cha be doin' 'ere?" She asked the Dementor, Harry and Ron looked at each other in confusion. The Dementor twirled his fingers around one another. "Ya know I can take care of meself." Harry and Ron looked at each other in utter confusion.
"Um, Dementors can talk?" asked Ron, as he pointed to the Dementor.
Awkward silence followed.
"Specter's right, it is rude ta point." Aileen said to Ron.
"Ma, dey can't 'er Dementors." Shade said tunelessly. Aileen looked at her son and then at Harry and Ron.
"Riiiiiiiiiight I keep on furgetten dat." Aileen said as she rubbed the back of her head.
The Dementor shrugged.
"'Ay, what'cha mean by dat, Specter?" Aileen said an angry voice at the Dementor. Specter waved his hands in front of himself, like he was trying to calm Aileen down.
As they were talking, Fred and George, Ron's older twin brothers, walked into the area. "Whoa, what's a Dementor doing here, Harry?"
"Erm, he's the father of this new student, Shade," Harry simply answered as he pointed Shade out.
"Ah, a first year!" Fred and George said in unison. "My name is Fred," one of the twins said, "and this here is my partner in mischief, George, we are the head mischief-makers at Hogwarts," said Fred with a grin.
"Really? Wicked sweet!" Shade replied enthusiastically.
"Shade, ya got ya books?" Aileen asked her son, after she'd finished talking to the Dementor.
"Got 'em a while ago, ma." Shade said in a bored tone.
"Ok, say bye ta ya new pals now." Aileen said as she started to head towards the exit.
"Bye, guys see ya at school." Shade said and happily waved good-bye to everyone.
"Harry," Ron said suddenly.
"Yes Ron?" Harry replied.
"Do you think there's going to be more of them this year?" Ron asked Harry.
"Maybe, Ron, Maybe," Harry said thoughtfully.
