Harry opened his eyes, awoken from his sleep by a horrible pain and inhaling deeply he closed his eyes. He had been in pain for the pass few hours but managed to sleep a bit as he was used to being in pain. Though he usually was in pain because of his abusive relatives the pain he was experiencing was the kind he had never felt before. He tried not to scream when another jolt of pain flew through his body, fearing that his relatives would punish him. He tried distracting himself by thinking of happy things, his mind wandered to Hedwig before he remembered she had been cruelly killed by his uncle and her body laid all over the floor the day before. He groaned in agony looking at the watch Hermione had given him for Christmas he noticed it was almost midnight. One more second and then it was midnight. What a way to start his birthday, in pain. Harry thought. Before he could do anything else a jolt of horrible pain flashed through his body. He let out an agonized yell and he whimpered in fear. He could hear loud thudding footsteps and the sound of his door being unlocked. "Freak! You had better have a good reason to wake all of us normal people!" Uncle Vernon snarled. The overly obese man stomped towards his nephew and raised his fist ready to punch the helpless boy. "Leave him alone!" A cold voice commanded making Harry and Uncle Vernon look up although the poor wizard was in terrible pain.
"Who are you and how did you get here? I bet you're another freak like this thing who I had to tolerate for years." Uncle Vernon insulted. "I'm here to save my future pupil." The voice said calmly. "You're not that stick waving freak dumb old door or whatever his freakish name is." Uncle Vernon sneered. "No I'm even more powerful than that mortal wizard." The unknown visitor answered smoothly. "Well get out of my home. I don't want more freakishness contaminating my house." Uncle Vernon said and turned back to Harry and punched him hard expecting the person to have left. "Leave him alone!" The figure screeched. Uncle Vernon stilled and his pig-like eyes held fear and pain. "Count yourself lucky I must tend to the child or I would have killed you." The feminine voice said. Terror-filled whimpers sounded around the room but the woman ignored them and gently carried the teen and disappeared.
"Who are you?" Harry managed to ask before passing out. "Hush now young one. You must rest while your body continues its transformation." The lady said gently and placed the boy on a bed before leaving. When Harry regained conscious he felt different but when he took in his surroundings he almost had a panic attack. He was definitely not at Privet Drive. "Hello young one, I see you have awakened." A calming voice said. "Hello… Not to be rude but where am I? Who are you?" Harry asked. "Child you honestly did not know?" The person said in a surprised tone. "I don't think I know." Harry frowned. "I am one of the many principles of Magia Academy for Magic Beings. I am Headmistress Angelus." The lady, Headmistress Angelus said. "Why am I here?" Harry asked. "You are a magic creature Mr Potter." Headmistress Angelus smiled. "I'm a what?" Harry asked in disbelief. "A magic creature. We haven't had a child of Evan blood here in centuries! The Potters must have had creature blood for you to be this powerful." Headmistress Angelus said. "Creature blood? That's impossible! Professor Dumbledore never said anything about that!" Harry said in confusion. "He would have never expected it. You are a Dragon Angel. Dragon Angels can speak to animals, have elemental powers and because you are angels you have the natural ability to heal people and yourself." Headmistress Angelus explained. "That's wonderful! But what about Voldemort, my friends and Hogwarts?" Harry asked. "The prophecy doesn't really mean you Harry. It doesn't mean anyone! It's a fake. You should never have been involved." Headmistress Angelus said sadly. "Then they don't have a savior?" Harry confirmed. "No they just put their hope in the wrong person. The Hogwarts education isn't even the best!" Headmistress Angelus scoffed. "Thank you. So I'll be attending Magia now?" Harry said. "Yes. I'll be helping you get all your supplies." Headmistress Angelus said cheerfully. "Are you a Dragon Angel too?" Harry asked curiously. "No I'm the opposite, I'm a Dragon Demon. Instead of healing I have super strength and my emotions play a key part in controlling our powers. I have a lot to teach you. We only have one day!" Headmistress Angelus sighed. "Teach?" Harry said. "Yes. You need to learn our cultures and what is acceptable and what is not. I could always have a house elf get your things." Headmistress Angelus sighed and before Harry could answer she snapped her fingers and ordered, "Toffy! Go buy first year supplies from Capricorn Aisle please." "Yes miss! Toffy is going to buy the thing from goat place!" A house elf squealed and popped away. "Now let's start lessons after you're fed." Headmistress Angelus said and left. Harry was left lying on a bed when a plate of bacon and eggs and a cup of juice appeared on a tray on his lap. He shrugged and started to eat. When he finished, he swallowed and lay back down before falling asleep.
"Young one wake up! We must start lesson!" Headmistress Angelus said as she gently shook the sleeping Dragon Angel. "I'm up Aunt Petunia! I'll get breakfast cooking." Harry groaned and flinched as if expecting pain. "Oh child! Why are you so afraid young one? What did they do?" Headmistress Angelus sighed as she watched the teen whimper like a small child. "I'm up!" Harry yelled as he shot up into a sitting position. "Calm down child. They can't hurt you now." Headmistress Angelus soothed. "I'm sorry, shall we begin lesson?" Harry apologized. "There is no need to apologize for that. Maybe I should set you up for a session for the school's counselor. If you don't mind of course. Now onto lessons." Headmistress Angelus said and flicked her hand causing a pile of books to appear. "Traditional courtship between magical beings? Dos and Don'ts of the Magic Realm? Dangerous magical creatures and how to handle them? The polite thing to say and do when with other magical beings? Am I even still somewhere in the realm I come from?" Harry asked in disbelief. "You are in the Magic Realm didn't you know? You have much to learn young child." Headmistress Angelus laughed. "So I just read all this?" Harry asked. "Yes then I'll test you." Headmistress Angelus said and sat on a conjured chair before flipping through a book she took out from the pocket of her jacket.
"What must a one do when one wants to enter a courtship?" Headmistress Angelus asked, starting the test. "Normally if it is a male and female relationship the male asks the parents. If it is a girl and girl or male and male relationship the dominant between the two will be the one asking the parents for permission to court." Harry answered. "What does it mean when you declare a Werewolf your friend?" She continued. "It means you are willing to kill for each other and be willing to defend their honor even at the cost of your life. Normally they will call each other allies." Harry said promptly. "If a lethifold should attack you what would be a spell that may save you?" The headmistress asked instantly. "The patronus charm although there have been few known survivors as they attack at night when the person is unprepared." Harry said. "What is one thing you cannot do without likely offending others?" She continued. "Being openly homophobic though we are entitled to our own views this will likely offend others as here in the Magical Realm it is not seen in as something unusual but something normal." Harry finished. "Excellent. Now you have an hour to walk around the school and here is a coin that will allow me to track you once your hour is up. Then I'll show you to the dorms and you can meet your new roommates well the one who grew up with muggles as well as checking through your supplies. Oh and we don't have any uniform you may just wear your usual clothes with a badge you will receive tomorrow." She said and passed him a coin. "So will I be a first year here?" Harry asked quickly. "Yes, most magical creatures that changes at the age of sixteen though the ones that are born already a magical creature they tend to mature slower. So all first years here are sixteen and finish their education mostly by the time they are twenty-two. Magical creatures live longer than wizards." Headmistress Angelus explained.
When she had left, Harry got out of bed still in the clothes he had worn to sleep. "Wonder if I can change. I don't think I have clothes her though." Harry frowned. He searched for his wand in his pocket and conjured up a pair of jeans and a shirt. He slipped them on and left the healing room. He wondered around till he found the library and he cautiously opened the door and walked in. "Hello. Who are you?" A small voice asked and he looked around to find the person. "I'm here, let me change back." The tiny voice tinkled. Harry felt a 'swoosh' of wind and a girl appeared. "Sorry about that! I find it better to fly in small form here in the library. My name's Emerald. I am a shrinking faery. Name explains it all." Emerald said. "I'm Harry, I'm a Dragon Angel." Harry answered. "I don't think you've met your other companions right? The faery principle, Headmistress Corale told me that those that haven't transformed would still come they just have a disadvantage. I wish them luck Magia is way tough! Don't get me started on the deaths, injuries and duels here! I'm in my fifth year." Emerald said. "Is it even safe here?" Harry asked. "Not really. That's why they give us armor charmed to fit us as we grow and though it gives us low protection from physical harm it protects us from spells and if the armor is punctured or anything like that it fixes by itself." Emerald grinned. "So why are you still here? Isn't it the holidays?" Harry said. "My parents are on a business trip. My Aunt and I don't really get along so I decided to stay here." Emerald explained. "Will you show me around?" Harry asked. "Sure, I'll show you the fighting arena." Emerald smiled and skipped out expecting him to follow her.
After the fighting arena they went to the classrooms then the field. By then Harry's hour was up and Headmistress Angelus came to get him. "Here is your room, your stuff is by your bed as well as some new clothes and your roommate is Mr Jake Ling. He is a Dragon shifter." Headmistress Angelus introduced. "Nice to meet you Jake but Headmistress Angelus where did you get the money to pay for my stuff?" Harry asked. "The Goblins know us well enough and since they could sense your transformation coming in a few years when you started Hogwarts they agreed to pass us enough gold to pay for your things. Now settle down, Mr Ling will show you to the dining hall." Headmistress Angelus said and left. "So which year are you in?" Harry asked. "Sixth year. You know what classes you're taking yet?" Jake asked. "No and what did Headmistress Angelus mean when she said you're a Dragon shifter?" Harry asked. Jake looked at him in amusement before a blue flame seemed to engulf his body and a blue dragon replaced him. "I can change into dragon form." Jake shrugged and changed back. "I should most probably start looking through my stuff." Harry said noticing the awkward silence. He sat on the floor and went through his books. "Ancient Runes, Charms, Potions, Transfiguration, Dark Arts, Defense, Power Control and Combat and Survival. I don't get a say in my subjects?" Harry asked. "You do actually but these are mandatory. You have the optional ones like Blood Magic, Herbology, Healing and there used to be Necromancy but something happened." Jake explained and flopped onto his bed chewing gum. "Cool so we choose our optional subjects tomorrow?" Harry confirmed. "Yes." Jake answered. "So what can we do now?" Harry asked. "We could always stay here and do what we want." Jake said and rolled over on his bed and took out something from under his blanket. "How can it work?" Harry asked. "What?" Jake asked and took out one earpiece from one of his ears. "Doesn't the magic interfere with electronics?" Harry asked again. "The Magic Realm is more advanced my dear roommate." Jake smirked and went back to listening to music.
After a few hours of reading his textbooks, Jake brought Harry to the dining hall. He saw the food placed on the table his tummy let out a loud grumble and he blushed. He hadn't been fed much since the start of the holidays. He sat silently next to Jake not knowing what else to do. When he started to eat he felt like he had died and gone to heaven. "Harry, slow down! You're eating like you're a starving man." Jake said. Harry stopped chewing and looked at his now empty plate with an unreadable look on his face. "What's wrong Harry?" Jake asked. "Nothing." Harry answered not willing to spill his soul out to a stranger. "Oh okay." Jake shrugged and went back to eating. He looked at the plate of delicious looking treacle tart and he stared at them wondering if he should eat it. "Harry the treacle tart isn't going to run away if you stop staring! So either eat it or eat something else!" The amused voice of Emerald said. "What?" Harry said. "You're looking at it as if it had insulted your loved ones and you're trying to get angry though you can't." Emerald laughed. Harry sighed and pushed back his messy fringe and showed his friend the lightning bold scar. "Oh my gosh! I am really sorry Harry!" Emerald stumbled. "It's fine." Harry sighed. "If you're Harry Potter where are your glasses?" An arrogant voice almost like Draco's could be heard. "Jason leave him alone! Plus if you had bothered to listen to Professor Hazel you would have realized that while she was lecturing us on a completely off topic subject, she mentioned that during transformations there will be major differences to the person. So for Harry's case it would be his eyesight for one thing." Emerald snapped at the red haired boy. "What ever nerd." The boy, Jason sneered. Harry kept quiet and started to eat the last treacle tart ignoring the glares Jason and Emerald were exchanging. "Harry, you should eat more! You're just bones!" Emerald exclaimed when she grabbed him to leave. "Oh no! If he eats more tomorrow we won't be able to have anything else to eat!" Jake answered teasingly. "I was hungry." Harry answered flatly. "Why? Your mortal guardians fed you too much? I bet you used to be obese with the amount you eat." Jason laughed. "You don't know any bloody thing about me! You think I'm spoilt so many people think I'm a liar well guess what? I'm sick of it! All they see is this tiny boy who is supposed to save them from some stupid dark lord! Leave me alone because next time I may not be able to control myself." Harry said coldly and got ready to leave with Emerald. "Too coward for a fight Potter? What can itsy bitsy Potter do to me?" Jason sneered, saying 'Potter' with contempt.
Harry had enough and turned to face the red haired teen and whipped out his wand. "Is the itsy bitsy boy going to hurt me?" Jason smirked complacently. "Yes I am! This school should teach stupid students like you this, CONSTANT VIGILANCE!" Harry laughed coldly and sent a silent 'Sectumsempra' at his unsuspecting opponent. It hit the boy square in the face causing his cheek to bleed profusely. "Some nerve you have there." Jason snapped and launched himself at Harry. He was caught off guard but quickly recovered and swung the buff boy on top of him onto the stone floor. With a final roar of rage, a ripping sound could be heard and he felt searing pain in his back but he didn't care. He felt his rage pouring out of him and he didn't bother to hold himself back. He surprised all around him, even himself by managing to shoot fireballs at the other teen. "Isn't he feisty?" Jason mocked and launched several spells at Harry. Some managed to hit his, thankfully spell-absorbent, armor that he had changed into before dinner but others missed and hit onlookers. "Can't you aim properly?" Harry snarled trying his best to ignore the sobs from the missed hexes that he could hear. Harry wanted to rest and so he tried to recall how to summon the flames again and had no trouble doing it when Jason started insulting his parents and friends. He aimed the burning balls of flame at Jason's feet and threw it at the boy making him cry out in pain and fall to the ground. "Let's go Harry." Emerald said gently though she was impressed by the weak-looking boy's power. "What about the ones who got hurt?" Harry asked innocently. "Harry I think you might be too nice for your own good. To answer your question they'll have to go to the healing ward." She answered. "Can I help?" Harry asked concernedly. "You could help them to the ward I guess…" Emerald said hesitantly and before she could stop him, Harry ran to the nearest person and lifted the girl up like she weighed nothing and ran. "Harry!" Emerald screamed and sighed in frustration before taking after him with a first year boy in her hands.
"Will they be fine?" Harry asked Healer Daisy. "If you shut up long enough to let me heal them!" Healer Daisy snapped and got to work while Harry observed quietly. He walked towards a boy in one of the beds who did not look too hurt and making sure the healer was not looking at him and imitated what she had done. He was shocked when a flash of light blinded him and when he could see he saw the boy was healed and pain free! "Mr Potter! How dare you try to heal my patient! You might have done irreparable damage!" Healer Daisy snapped and walked over. When she saw the perfectly healthy boy smiling at her she turned to Harry and gaped at him. "Harry! Though I should be scolding you I must say you healed him perfectly!" Healer Daisy said. "I'm a Dragon Angel." Harry explained. "I know that you haven't folded up your wings yet! Though most Dragon Angels can't master healing that fast!" Healer Daisy exclaimed. "Potter luck." Harry decided. "Young one, I have a feeling this is going to be an eventful year! Though what is this Potter luck?" She asked curiously. "The luck that's kept me alive all these years. Bye Healer Daisy, I'll pop by tomorrow. It's my fault they got hurt." Harry said guiltily. "Not your fault at all and you must consider taking up healing! It would be a waste if you didn't! Now off to bed! No dilly-dally! You must be drained from all that magic used." The healer sighed and shooed him off. Leaving Harry to his thoughts.
"Hey Harry are you okay? Saw you running to the healing ward." Jake greeted as Harry went into their room. "I'm fine I went to help some of those hurt to the healing ward." Harry answered deciding not to let others no of him healing the boy with way too much ease. "Okay, I'm going to get ready for bed. I suggest you do the same." Jake said and headed for the bathroom. Harry sighed and quickly changed and flopped onto his bed. "Hey Harry you all right?" Emerald asked as she swung the door open without knocking. "Do you ever knock Emerald? And yes I'm fine." Harry said and got up from his bed. "Unless you rather I shrink myself and sneak in under through the gap." Emerald shrugged. "I need to sleep Emerald!" Harry said. "Fine." Emerald said and turned to leave and walked straight into Jake. "Hey Em, why are you here?" Jake asked. "Came to check up on Mr Powerful here. Can't believe he could get into a fight the first few hours his here!" Emerald answered. "Potter luck!" Harry interjected. "Sure it is Harry. I don't think luck kept you alive at Hogwarts. You are a powerful being! If not trained properly you could not only kill yourself but possibly the whole school or half the Magic Realm even! You must take this up with Principle Angelus." Emerald said wisely and left without waiting for a response. "I agree with her Harry. Now brush your teeth and go to bed." Jake ordered. "Yes dad." Harry teased and ran to the bathroom before Jake could whack him.
The next morning, Harry was woken up by Emerald at five in the morning. "Why do you have to wake me up at five in the morning?" Harry groaned when they reached the dining hall. "Yes! All the good food will be gone if you wake up late." Emerald said and dragged him to a table. "Hi Mara! Why are you up this early?" Emerald asked. "Hello Emerald who's the guy next to you? Is he the one who fought with Jason?" The girl, Mara said veering off topic. "Yes he is. This is Harry Potter, he's a Dragon Angel like you." Emerald answered happily. "Nice to meet you Harry, I'm Mara a fifth year Dragon Angel. My little sister, Carmel is a first year Dragon Angel as well. Maybe you'll share classes." Mara answered and went back to her breakfast. "So Mara and news on the betrothal contract?" Emerald asked, making conversation. "I'll be bonded to some person overseas. I'm going to meet him during the Christmas holidays." Mara answered sadly. "What's wrong?" asked Emerald, sensing something amiss. "I was so absolutely sure Jerome was going to end the courtship soon. It's just that mother and father gave me till the start of fifth year to get bonded or they'll set up a betrothal contract and my time's up." Mara said monotonously. "Well maybe you could get your parents to change their mind! Have you signed the contract yet?" Emerald said brightly. "I even have the drop of blood to seal it all. Jerome didn't take it too well. He completely forgot all about my warning when we started the courtship." Mara answered. "Mara!" Someone yelled. "Carmel, what have I said about yelling my name for the world to hear?" Mara teased. "I'm sorry I forgot. My roommate's a nightmare. Didn't let me sleep at all!" Carmel sighed as she sat down next to her sister. "Mel, this is Harry and I'm sure you can remember Emerald." Mara introduced. "Nice to meet you Harry, I'm Carmel. Mara's little sister." Carmel smiled and started to eat some toast. "Nice to meet all of you." Harry said finally speaking. "Hey Harry let's go get our schedules. Mara told me we could find them in those boxes up front. "See you Emerald. Good-bye Mara." Harry said and swung his bag onto his shoulder before running after Carmel.
"First we need to select our optional classes. Come on! I see Headmistress Angelus waiting; Mara says there are never many Dragons Angels, Dragon Demons and Dragon Shifters. There's hardly ever a queue unlike the Fire line. It's always extremely long." Carmel said. "Is it nice having a family?" Harry asked curiously. "You're Harry Potter aren't you?" Carmel said with a far-off look. "Yes I am." Harry answered. "Next!" Headmistress Angelus yelled. "Good morning Ma'am." Harry greeted. "Morning Mr Potter what are your optional classes? You must at least have one optional class." The headmistress said. "Blood Magic and Healing please." Harry answered. "That's quite a handful Mr Potter. I wish you good luck for this year." Headmistress Angelus said and handing him his schedule before yelling, "Next!"
Harry waited for Carmel and when she walked towards him with her schedule. "What's your schedule?" Carmel asked. "On Monday I have Blood Magic, Power Control, Ancient Runes, Healing and Dark Arts. Tuesday I have Potions, Combat and Survival, Defense, Blood Magic and Charms. Wednesday I have Transfiguration, Power Control, Defense, Dark Arts and Combat and Survival. Thursday I have Healing, Potions, Transfiguration, Charms and Ancient Runes. Friday is self-studying." Harry answered. "I have Monday Power Control with you as well as Healing and nothing on Tuesday. Wednesday I have Power Control again, Dark Arts and Defense. Thursday I have Charms with you and Friday study. Other than that our schedules are completely different." Carmel said. "I have to head to Blood Magic now. Bye Carmel!" Harry said and headed for the classrooms.
"Good morning class! I will be your professor this year you shall address me as Professor Eve. Blood Magic is not what several weak-minded wizards and witches assume to be dark and evil. It is a mystery and a special gift some of us possess and a gift some of us have yet to seek. Blood Magic is powerful but you must use what you learn wisely or it could end in havoc. Blood Magic can be protection and many things. For most Blood Magic rituals or spells it involves runes. It is very fascinating and I look forward to this year and I sincerely hope I can find some students who actually work hard and take this seriously. Now flip open your textbooks and read the entire chapter one and take notes. No talking and most of all no texting!" The Vampire, Professor Eve instructed strictly, yelling the last part. Harry flipped open the book and was instantly engrossed by the interesting texts. He was thinking of how happy Hermione would have felt to be learning all this. He took out a notebook and pen that had been bought for him and started furiously writing. "Blood Magic has a long and rather dark history leading wizards and witches to believe it is evil and bad. Though not all Blood Magic is evil there are protection rituals and spells that can be used. DNA or specifically blood must be given willingly for protection rituals and spells." Harry muttered under his breath and started writing quickly.
After Blood Magic, Harry walked to the Dragon Power Control room. "Hello Harry!" Jake greeted when he spotted Harry. "Hi Jake why are you here?" Harry asked. "All Power Control classes are a mix of all levels. No idea why though." Jake shrugged. "So what are we going to do in this class?" Harry asked. "That is what you are about to find out Mr Potter. Now if you would please stop your discussion so I may begin class." Headmistress Angelus said amusedly as she shut the door checking that all the dragons of the school were there. "Okay class I'm sure all of you know who I am. Now second year and above start with the usual drill. First years come here." The headmistress ordered. "Now first years we'll be mastering your first element, Earth. Among the elements, Earth is the best to start with. Fire is angry and fierce while Wind is smooth and quick. Water is calm and graceful while Earth is emotion driven and is mainly based on focus." She explained. "Now I want you to go to the Earth station and start there. I would prefer if you started small and not strain yourselves. Dragon Angels please heal the foolish ones who disobey me." She continued and sent them off before going to watch the older dragons. "Harry this is my roommate, Joy. She's a Dragon Angel too. This is Myra and Cathy they are Dragon Demons. Lastly this is Ian a Dragon Shifter. He's Jake's little brother. I'm so excited to start!" Carmel introduced as they walked to the nearby station. "Well we could start sooner if you walked faster! Hi Harry I'm Joy." The girl with blue streaks in her hair, Joy hissed. "Geez Joy! Don't be such a kill joy." The only other boy, Ian joked. "Ian that was terrible! I'm Myra by the way Harry. Carmel talks a lot so we've heard quite a lot about what she knows. Not much but she can find ways to talk so much about a small topic." Myra said. "So you must be Cathy right?" Harry asked the last girl. "Yes. Now can we please start walking again! I don't want to waste anymore time." Cathy answered and the group realized they had stopped to talk.
At the Earth Station they were slowly levitating rocks and moving them around. Harry felt himself slipping away into his own little daydream world. "Harry look!" Carmel cried out, breaking Harry away from his daydream. "That's brilliant Carmel. Be careful though." Harry said when he noticed she was using her power to juggle three rocks. "Hey Ian, what is the point of you being here?" Cathy asked as she directed a rock in the shifter's direction teasingly. "I'm not sure… Headmistress Angelus said she'll start me on the same training as Jake." Ian answered glumly from where he sat. "Okay class! Times up. Homework is to train and practice with a shield around you and the area you are practicing in." Headmistress Angelus warned and dismissed them.
"Bye Carmel I need to head to Ancient Runes." Harry said. "Bye Harry! See you during lunch and Healing!" Carmel said cheerfully. "Harry I'm heading for Ancient Runes too. Shall we sit together?" Joy asked. "Sure." Harry shrugged and continued to the classroom. "Good morning class. I am Professor Rene and before some first year baboon asks yes I am a Vampire and no I highly doubt any Vampire here will kill you by draining you of all your blood though I can't promise you that won't happen. Now onto the lesson I want you to forget any kind of Runes you have learned outside the Magic Realm. Then I want you to read your textbook and take notes. After that you will take a pop quiz. You have thirty minutes to do all that and another thirty to take the quiz. Your time starts now!" Professor Rene ordered and sat at his desk watching his pupils. Harry quickly read the pages and wrote his notes before looking through the chapter and his notes repeatedly till time was up. "Here are your questions I expect them to be finished latest by the time lunch starts. You may begin!" The Professor instructed and with a flick of his wand the quiz appeared on each table.
Harry finished his quiz early and was allowed to leave. He picked up his bag and headed to the dining hall. The corridors were empty and everything was eerily silent. Distant scraping of chairs and the sound of pages being turned could be heard as well as yelling that was coming from a class further away. He sat down at one of the many tables. As he dropped his bag onto the floor, plates of delicious smelling food popped onto the table. He helped himself to some pasta and a glass of orange juice and started to eat. He found himself missing the noisy meal times of Hogwarts. He suddenly realized Headmaster Dumbledore would most probably be worried. He gobbled down what was left of his lunch and ran to Headmistress Angelus's office. He knocked on the door and heard a few complicated spells cast and the door swung open. "Hello Mr Potter. I believe you had just realized Hogwarts would be missing you? I was going to make an announcement but since you are here. I believe Professor Dumbledore and your friends wish to speak to you." The headmistress laughed when she saw Harry's surprised look upon spying his ex-headmaster and best friends. "I shall leave you be. Mr Potter help yourself to some tea and biscuits if you haven't thought to go and eat lunch in the dining hall." Headmistress Angelus instructed and swiftly left.
"Harry when were you going to tell us you are a magical creature?" Ron asked breaking the silence. "I just found out myself mate. Hedwig was killed by the Dursleys so I couldn't contact any of you and I didn't see any owls around here." Harry answered flatly. "Well Harry my boy, that's because Magia uses wind mail. It's extremely fast and very handy. You chant the incantation and say your message before blowing at your message that will appear in the air in front of you and will be sent to the other person in form of parchment. Now Harry, about all this I will inform everyone that you are in private training which you sort of are. Do you have any questions? Or shall I leave the three of you alone now." Dumbledore suggested with his usual happy twinkle in his eyes. "I don't think I have any questions Professor. Though I think I would need that incantation for wind mail." Harry answered thoughtfully. "Of course Harry. The incantation is 'Ventus Nuntius'. Good-bye for now Harry and take care." Dumbledore said cheerfully and left in search of Headmistress Angelus. "Gosh Harry! How is the school? You are extremely lucky. Principle Angelus let me see what classes there are and they seem much better than those in Hogwarts!" Hermione said excitedly once Dumbledore had firmly shut the door. "It is I guess. I had blood magic, power control and ancient runes before this. It's really not that hard to understand Hermione. The things they teach here is very different and much clearer even if it is really advanced." Replied Harry. "Mate, I think I'm starting to worry for you! You're turning into Hermione." Ron said seriously before Hermione could say anything else. "Ronald!" Hermione chided. "What?" Ron said. "Don't fight here! Maybe Headmistress Angelus will let me show you around during the rest of my lunch. You can meet the people I've met. Though most are mainly somehow dragon. You won't believe how many kinds of humanoid dragons there are Hermione! Okay maybe I am becoming a bit like Hermione." Harry decided. "Now Harry please ask Headmistress Angelus if you could show us around?" Hermione asked eagerly. "Sure but I suggest shield charms. Apparently things can get very nasty. We're all given light armor but I rather not have to save the two of you." Harry said and led them out to look for the Headmistress and Headmaster.
"Hello young one, do you want to show your friends around?" The headmistress said, Dumbledore and her had been sitting on conjured chairs outside the office. "Yes please Headmistress. I find it rather odd how you seem a few steps ahead of me at all times." Harry wondered. "That's what any teacher or Headmistress or Headmaster must do." The headmistress answered with a tinkling laugh.
The Golden trio left for the dining hall. "Hey Harry are those new students behind you? I don't have super scent like you dragons do you know. Going to introduce us?" Emerald said cheekily. "Of course! Hermione, Ron this is Emerald a shrinking faery." Harry introduced. "Hello nice to see that Harry has a friend here." Hermione greeted. "You must be from Harry's old school. Well I hope Harry's warned you to used shield charms. He got into a fight yesterday and won. He shocked everyone in the school with the amount of power he has." Emerald said. "Really Harry? Fighting on the first day?" Hermione said in disbelief. "Err… Sorry?" Harry replied. "Sorry? Why would you fight? Of all things to do you had to pick a fight!" Hermione yelled. "Hey don't you dare scream at my friend." Carmel said fiercely as she glared at Hermione having just got there. "Who do you think you are?" Hermione demanded. "I'm Harry's friend." Carmel snarled. "Mione I'm really sorry now please don't fight. I'm afraid you won't stand a chance Mione and I don't want any of you hurt. Carmel this is Hermione my best friend." Harry said. "Let's start over shall we? I have no idea why I was so angry. I'm really sorry." Hermione apologized. "Cameron! You stop doing that to these poor humans. Release the boy from the charm and please stop using your powers." Emerald turned to a nearby blonde boy and ordered angrily. The blonde boy, Cameron grinned before turning to walk away. "I'm afraid I should be the one saying sorry Hermione, Carmel, Ron. I always forget about some of the imitation demons. Awful lot they can be." Emerald explained. "Thanks Em. Now do you know where the other dragons are? I want them to meet Hermione and Ron." Harry asked. "Come on I know where they are." Carmel put in and led them to a table.
"Hello this is Hermione and Ron. They're from Harry's old school." Carmel said cheerfully as she sat down and started to help herself to mashed potatoes. "Hermione, Ron this is Myra, Mara, Ian, Jake, Cathy, Joy and you've met Emerald and Carmel." Harry introduced. Greetings echoed from the dragons at that table while those nearby stared curiously at them. "Harry maybe I should start introducing you to the other dragons and some of the others." Jake said thoughtfully before going back to eating. "Come on I'll show you the rest of the place. Though the classrooms would most probably not be a good option. Who knows what the teachers here do without their students around." Harry groaned and proceeded to lead them out of the dining hall.
"Well Harry it's time we left. Our lunch break is over and so it yours." Hermione said sadly after she cast a quick spell to check the time. "Maybe you could always wind mail me." Harry suggested. "Sure mate I'll make sure Hermione reminds me to." Ron answered and got a hard whack on his head in reply. "I will not be reminding you! You find out the incantation yourself." Hermione said and stormed off. "Bye Hermione!" Harry yelled after her. "See you mate. I'll make sure the others can wind mail you too." Ron said. "No! Imagine if reporters found out and all that. Can you imagine how much mail I'd have? If I'm studying here I want to make sure it's pretty normal no fighting some crazy dark lord this year. Bye Ron. Make sure Hermione doesn't hide herself in the library too often." Harry grinned. "Sure thing mate. Take care and don't get yourself killed. Hermione won't be there to save your ass." Ron laughed before leaving.
"Hey Harry! Where are your friends?" Carmel asked as she sat down next to him in healing. "They left already. So do you know who is the teacher?" Harry replied. "Healer Daisy will be teaching and if there are any injuries Healer Daisy's apprentice Alex will handle them but if it's really serious Healer Daisy would leave for the hospital wing." Carmel explained. "Well that seems reasonable." Harry decided. "So do you want to know anything about Magia Academy or the Magic Realm?" Carmel asked. "In fact I do. What do most of the students do during the weekends and holidays?" Harry said curiously. "We can go anywhere we want but we have to wear a tracking pendent. Apparently a group of students got kidnapped a few years back." Carmel shrugged. "So they give us some kind of thing and we just bring it with us? So we'll get it this weekend when we go out?" Harry asked. "Yes. It's really great according to Mara. Though this year won't be great for her she doesn't really like who she's betrothed to I guess." Carmel sighed. "So the same thing applies to you?" Harry said. "Afraid so." She answered. "Class please take out your books and start taking notes!" Healer Daisy ordered as she entered the classroom before Harry could answer.
As they left the classroom, Harry groaned, "It's like biology and I thought I escaped that when I went to Hogwarts." "You can't escape education Harry." Carmel laughed. "See you later at dinner?" Harry asked. "Sure thing." Carmel answered and left. "Hey Harry what do you have next?" Ian asked as he passed Harry. "Dark arts." He answered. "Good let's go. I heard the teacher Professor Monty is really tough. His name is nice but his bad side isn't." Ian warned. "Sure thing Ian." Harry grinned and the two headed off to class.
After Dark arts had ended, Harry and Ian quickly headed for dining hall. "Did you look directly at Professor Monty's eyes? He has to be the scariest teacher ever! And the classroom! It was too dark for my liking and the way he talked about super scary things as if it were an everyday occurrence!" Ian said. "At least he can teach!" Harry reminded him. "Right it's all about the learning." Ian rolled his eyes. "Hey I had horrible teachers for a few years." Harry told him. "Right…" Ian said. "Hello Harry, Ian. Do you have any homework?" Carmel greeted them cheerfully as she bound up to them just as they were nearing the dining hall. "I've got a test on chapter one for blood magic, essay for healing, practicing power control and dark arts. Lastly I have to study for another quiz for ancient runes. Why must we be given homework on the first day of lessons?" Harry sighed.
"I can't wait for Halloween." Carmel suddenly declared in the middle of dinner. "Why?" Harry asked swallowing the chicken he had been chewing. "It's a Thursday!" She stated matter-of-factly. Seeing Harry's questioning look Emerald explained, "It's named after the god of thunder, Thor. The Saxon god. She's really into mythology." "Cool. I find Greek mythology interesting." Harry answered carefully pushing the rest of his food around his plate. "I love the one about how Athena turns Arachne into a spider." Carmel said eagerly. "You've got her started." Mara groaned. "What?" Harry asked curiously. "You just find out yourself. I'm leaving to do homework if I stay here I won't be able to even start before midnight." Emerald grinned before leaving. "I'm not that bad!" Carmel protested. "Yes, yes you are." Mara said and left as well. "Good luck Harry hopefully I'll be able to find you tomorrow. Don't chase him away Carmel, I need another male dragon in the level to keep me sane." Ian laughed before leaving too. "So it's just us. Anyway, who is your favorite god or goddess? My favorite is Athena. It's so cool." Carmel said and she just kept talking and talking.
After an hour of listening attentively to Carmel talk about different kinds of mythology Harry said, "Why don't we do homework first then we can talk more." "Sure! Gosh how time flies." Carmel said obliviously happy. Harry stood up and almost fell down when his legs tried to wake up immediately. "Careful Harry!" Carmel warned and grabbed his arm before dragging him away giving him barely enough time to grab his bag. "My room or your room?" Carmel asked causing a few people to snicker. "I'm not sure." Harry said weakly. "Your room. I want to see Jake shift! I haven't seen him shift before lead the way!" She urged.
When they got to Harry's room, they started on their healing essays on spells to heal bones and different kinds of bones that needed to be handled extremely carefully if broken or injured in anyway. After three hours or so, Carmel finished the last of her homework and started to pester Jake. "Harry! Please help me!" Jake pleaded as he shifted for the tenth time much to the girl's delight. "I'm done." Harry said and stuffed his things back into his bag. "Oh goodie! Let's talk more!" Carmel squealed and started talking about mythology again. "Really Harry? It's half past eleven and you're still talking?" Jake asked in exasperation as he came out of the bathroom from his shower. "It's that late? I'll never be able to wake up tomorrow! Good night Jake, Harry! Thanks for listening to me. Mara never listens." Carmel pouted as she packed up. "Good night Carmel." Harry couldn't help but laugh at the way Carmel spoke about her sister. After Carmel had left, Jake groaned sleepily, "Finally! Harry, maybe next time cut talking time a little shorter. It won't hurt you know?" "I know. It's not you who has to sleep later." Harry said and headed to the bathroom.
The day before, September the first at Hogwarts, there had been chaos and panic spreading throughout the school, through teachers and through students when they realized their savior had not turned up. Ron and Hermione had wondered what was going on and amongst everyone, they were the most afraid and worried as they knew what kind of trouble their best friend could possibly attract. "Students before the sorting starts, I know most of you are wondering where Mr Potter had went. He has gone into personal training outside of Hogwarts and his whereabouts are not being shared for the safety of Mr Potter and to ensure that his training will not be disturbed." Professor Dumbledore had explained. The school settled down for some time and everything continued smoothly. "Ron, did Harry owl you anything?" Hermione asked softly making sure no one else could hear. "No he didn't and I'm assuming he didn't owl you either. Maybe he really has gone into private training." Ron said sadly. Hermione frowned and stopped paying attention to everything else and started to think very hard.
After the welcoming feast was over, Hermione prepared to head back to the dorms when Dumbledore walked over and gestured for the two of them to follow. He led them to his office and when they were all seated, he offered them the customary lemon drop. "No thank you sir. Please tell us about Harry." Hermione pleaded, immediately cutting to the chase. "Very well Ms Granger. You see, Mr Potter is actually a magical creature of dragon blood. He is a dragon angel. At least he isn't a dragon demon imagine the press getting hold of that! They would think the worst but they are actually very nice people. Mr Potter is actually in a way endangered if you could call it. One of the least half-human and half-dragon. Though the dragon demons aren't that large in population either. Pity how such a magnificent race can never be safe from poachers and pureblood supremacists." Professor Dumbledore said sadly. "So you are saying Harry is a creature?" Ron confirmed. "Yes Mr Weasley from his mother I think. The blood is extremely diluted but I believe James Potter also had creature blood for Harry to have creature blood." Professor Dumbledore explained. "Thank you for explaining this to us professor." Hermione said gratefully. "So what has this got to do with him not being here?" Ron said at the same time. "He has gone to a special school for training. I will be bringing you for a visit tomorrow during your lunch and you can meet him. Please come to my office once your lesson before lunch has ended and the password is Kit Kat." Professor Dumbledore told them.
Hermione sat on her four-poster bed reading a book half-heartedly. She couldn't believe what was happening. How could Harry be a creature? None of the books in the library mentioned dragon angels! Maybe there were so many unknown creatures to her. She had to find out more. She couldn't wait for the next day.
