It was going to be hard enough for Baz to blend in before, but now he had to learn a whole new spell system. Great. Hermione voluntarily translated all the spells in their unit for the semester for him, and it was gratefully appreciated. The classes were easy enough to follow along with, and he soon learned the atmosphere of the students. Draco, one of the Slytherin students, was clearly a bully. He would pelt Potter with paper balls and taunt him between passing period. Now, if Baz was here in a different time he would have been best friends with someone like him, but he changed. Simone changed him in a way where he actually had friends he liked.

He shuffled his way past students and professors to make his way to the library. It was a fairly large room with rows of bookshelves lining the walls head to toe. Because it was the beginning of the year the hall was quite empty except for pockets of students at the few tables. So he made his way to the farthest empty table in the corner.

"You hear about those vampires in the woods?" Baz stumbled a step to listen in on a group of Ravenclaws huddling around with their heads bowed. "Well, my cousin totally saw one the other day near the Quidditch fields. Nearly killed him." The kids snickered and bickered until they slowed to complete silence when they spotted him snooping.

"Can we help you?" One of the girls turned around in her chair. Her hair was black with straight hair tied in a ponytail. She had a bored look on her face, gum popping in her mouth as she talked.

"Just heard you guys talking about vampires. My dad studies them back home." It was a complete lie, yes, but he couldn't tell them the truth. "Are they getting closer?"

"Sure, are." She flipped around again shielding him from the group. She made it clear that it was the end of their short conversation. Baz abandoned his mission to spend a day of reading and decided it was time to take the boys up on their deal with Quidditch.


As he, Harry, Ron, and Hermine walked down the steps Baz tried to listen to the boys as they spoke but had his mind else where. Now he wouldn't have wanted to have people around with him when he went on his search, on the other hand, he didn't know where the Quidditch field was let alone what the sport was, to begin with. They made him wear protective gear that no one else wore but him. He asked them this.

"It's because you're new. This could be a very violent sport to play. And, protection is key." Harry sternly stated.

"Harry is going to dad mode." Ron teased. Harry then pushed up his wired glasses with his finger and tightened his tie with his other clearing his throat.

When they reached the field Baz couldn't breathe. Now it could have been because the gear was squeezing the air out of his lungs, or it was because of how beautiful the view was. There were kids in the air floating, throwing balls, and zipping past hitting each other. Baz really didn't know what he got himself into. While the boys got the brooms ready Hermione found a spot on the bench to watch with the others. It was getting dark and the shadows of the forest swallowed the ground.

Baz scouted the outer rim of the pitch when Ron called him over. "What were you looking for?"

"Oh, nothing. I was just taking it in." They loaded on the brooms and slowly raised to the sky. It was uncomfortable to sit on a stick and was now only really seeing how high they were going. It wasn't until Harry's voice brought him back when he heard how loud his heart was pounding.

"Now when you want to maneuver, guide your stick with your body weight." They both demonstrated how and then it was his turn. He weighed a little too much to his left and shot a sharp left fast. His heart began to pound out of his chest. Crowley, why couldn't there be a football team? "I should have added not to do it too much. You could fall off."

"That would have been nice to know." Baz puffed out.

Sweat drenched his back at the end of practice. He learned how to maneuver properly and actually made a goal. Even tho there was no goalie present. The others walked a head and he lagged back. "Aren't you coming?" Hermine turned her head barely so she could see him over her book, "It's almost curfew."

Baz nodded, "I forgot my book in Astronomy." He walked away from the others. When they were out of sight he went back to the field to explore the last sighting of the vampires. Now he shouldn't be going off on school gossip, still, he had no other lead and it was already two weeks into school. The lights illuminated down onto the grass cutting the bark from the light with a clean cut. No one was out and it was already high moon when he finished his search. He was on his way back to the main side of the field to go back to the dorms when he realized how hungry he was. He was so tired and just wanted to crawl into the sheets of his bed, tho he didn't know when he would get another great option to hunt again.

There wasn't much in the woods other than a couple of mice, but it did the trick. Walking down the halls tired, he didn't even see that he walked right into Snape till he saw him.

" I don't think you should be out at this time."

"I had somewhere to be."

Snape squinted his eyes, "Listen, boy, you better be careful. You might get caught." There was a sudden crash in the near distance and Hermine's cat ran down the hall straight to them. Snape scooped up the cat and flung it into his arms. "Tell, Miss Granger to keep her pet in the dormitories or Gryffindor will lose points," he took one last look over at Baz, "Have a good night. And do try and come up with a better excuse next time. Someone might think you're up to something." And with that Baz rushed to the dorms dropped the cat on the couch in the main room and crashed on the bed as soon as he hit the pillow.

Now to be completely honest I didn't think anyone would read this. It was kind of something I was doing for myself and I'm glad some people actually like it. To clear things up this story follows the end of Carry on, so Simon doesn't have his powers. But he does have those kick as wings. If you want to ask me any more questions then just leave a comment. Now I'm still new to this but sometimes when people leave a comment on my other stories I can't respond to them. it won't let me. So please don't take it personally if I don't respond to you. I will still answer your questions at the end of these chapters.
