Okay, one disclaimer. I'm not Lady Rowling, so I don't own this great seven-book series. Sorry.

Prologue

It was the last day of school and students cheered loudly and formed a circle, chants of "Fight!" roaring out. More students rushed to the scene as they watched the action. Shouts of encouragement could be heard.

"Come on!"

"Kick his ass!"

"You can do it!"

16-year-old Damian "Sasuke" Pierce was in his 100th fight with another young wizard, looking for the consecutive centennial victory. Apparently, fighting had come naturally to Sasuke ever since he had come to Hayworth Preparatory For Boys, an American military school for wizards, for his second year. He had been expelled from his first school for assaulting a teacher who Sasuke referred to as an "uppity, arrogant cocksucker who picked on kids because he couldn't cut it as an auror." Sasuke swore he did it in self-defense, though the Headmaster wasn't buying it. So his parents sent him to Hayworth in the hopes he could become a better wizard.

Sasuke's opponent: Francis McDouglas, a seventh-year with an equal amount of aggression. He had decide to make Sasuke his "victim" ever since he came to Hayworth, only things hadn't worked out like he thought they would.

This was the twentieth time Sasuke and Francis would fight. And Sasuke was undefeated.

"Come on, Frannie! Is that punch the best you can do?" Sasuke taunted. "I mean, after 20 times of me kicking your ass, I figured you'd get stronger!"

Francis moved his long blond hair out of his blood-covered face and charged with wand out, missing a leaping Sasuke who pulled his wand from under his arm.

"Is that it? Well, then...Expelliarmus!"

And Francis was relieved of his wand with the disarming spell.

"Petricus Totalus!"

The Body-Bind Spell restricted Francis' movement, but he hadn't fallen yet.

"I've got a graduation present for you, McDouglas," Sasuke said, putting his wand away and cracking his knuckles. "It's the kind that keeps on giving."

And Sasuke slammed his fists into any part of Francis he could, doing so until a loud but annoying noise pierced the air, forcing the students to cover their ears.

Sasuke had heard it many times before.

It was a spell that usually did cease fights, especially the ones in the stands during Quodpot matches. And two more students had their wands out, pointed at Sasuke, who rolled his eyes and put his hands up. It was the Lead Man, David Gillimeister and the Lead Woman, Sasuke's ex-girlfriend Sasha Xavier.

"So, guys," Sasuke said, putting his hands behind his head. "Come to spoil the party?"

"Shut it, Pierce," said David. "You're going to the Principal's office. Again."

Sasuke sighed. He had seen the Principal's office loads of times. What was going to be different, other than detention? Or a week of latrine duty?

Seriously, he should kick the Principal's ass for being such a fucktard sometimes.

Sasuke sat in the office, waiting for the big cheese to get back. In the meantime, Sasuke pulled out a flask of apple-flavored gin, a Muggle alcohol.

His grandfather was a Muggle and he loved hearing stories of Sasuke's time at Hayworth while sharing a flask of gin. His grandmother, a British witch who attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and graduated as part of Slytherin House, considered Sasuke to be her least favorite grandchild. She called him incorrigible and said he would be a failed wizard in time.

Finally, the principal walked in.

"Damian Pierce. Back in my office again, whatever shall we do with you?" Principal Willis Gaines asked.

"You could start by giving me detention and then killing yourself."

"No, son," Principal Gaines replied. "It seems detention isn't enough for you. Ever since you showed up here from Charm's, you've been a pain in the butt. No, Mr. Pierce. It seems you are a lost cause, and this school can no longer tolerate you. So effective immediately, you are expelled."

Sasuke stood up, angry.

"Expelled?"

"Yes. Maybe another school would do you some good. Good luck, Mr. Pierce."

Sasuke turned and left the office, heading for the dorm hall once he was outside. When he made it in, he grabbed the trunk and Accio-ed everything inside of it, including the flying board he had crafted in his backyard before starting his wizarding education. When he turned back to the trunk, he found an envelope on top of the board.

Where did it come from? He hadn't seen an owl in the dorms. He opened the letter and read:

Dear Mr. Pierce,

I am writing this letter, first to apologize about your sudden expulsion from Hayworth Preparatory, and second to inform you that you have been accepted to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in Great Britain. I hope you'll be on the Hogwarts Express on the first of September.

Albus Dumbledore

P.S. Mr. Pierce, do try and keep that temper of yours under control when you come to Hogwarts. That is all.
