Mountain Top Academy Part 2
Deticated to : Dillon Glover ( my best friend )
I woke up with a start , the woman's screams still ringing
in my ears . Who was this dream woman who kept haunting my dreams
? Was she real , or was she what dreams were made of ? I looked
up at the ceiling it was not familiar it was plain stone like a
castle's . Mine at home was black with glow in the dark stars . I
relized then that I was at Mountain Top Academy . All the
memories of the former night came flying back to me , I got up
and got dressed . I went downstairs and left Ceres still asleep
in her bed . Xanth was waiting for me " your professor
McGonagall's of Hogwarts daughter ? " " Why do you wish to know ,
Xanth , " I replied in a cold voice . " No reason except she was
one of the only people this century to accomplish becoming an
Animagus . " I snorted " what are you laughing at , it is no
joking matter . " " You know what Xanth I think of you as quite
pompous . " He stood quite rigid with anger , I rushed off before
he could give me an detention . I was so angry I ran straight
into something quite solid , I looked up it was Carlos . He gave
me a slight nervous lopsided smile and said " sorry I wasn't
watching where I was going . " " Neither was I . " " Is that
Xanth dude bugging you ? " " Dude ? " " Oh yeah , your from
England aren't you ? " " Yes , I am from England . " " Dude means
man , it is a slang term for someone cool . " " Oh how utterly
interesting , may we talk while I wait for my friend , Ceres ? "
" Of course . " We sat stood there for about fifteen minutes when
she came down the stairs . " What took you so long Ceres ? " "
Gelena , I was tired I pulled an allnighter , I'm not used to
them . " Carlos laughed under his breath , " well I'm starving so
lets go down to the feast room , shall we ladies . " " So thats
what the dinning area is called here , it's called the great hall
in England . " " How odd , well lets get going . " Apparently
Carlos's stomach ruled his mind . We followed some older students
down to the feast room . We were very quiet , today we were to
start classes . That meant we were going to have to find our way
around the school ( Carlos said this would be no problem he would
just ask one of his brothers where to go ) . We soon found out
that Carlos was the middle child of a very large family of
brothers and sisters . He had five older brothers and five
younger sisters . By the name of ( in order ) ; Alexander ,
Alexis , John , James , Skylar , Carlos , Jena , Maria ,
Alexandria , Gwen , and Rowena . All of them with dark black hair
and cheery black eyes . He was not to keen on the subject " we
would problay be billowing in riches if I didn't have so many
brothers and sisters , " he said quite darkly . " Listen your
lucky and least you have a dad . Sometimes I think my mother
can't see me ,it's like she sees right through me . And you were
not raised by a man most of the time that was not even related to
you . " " Who was this man ? " Asked Carlos eagerly , he really
was entranced by the way the British acted at least the wizards .
" Serveus Snape , he works at Hogwarts he is quite nice when you
are on his good side . But you never want him to hate you ,
terrible things will happen if he hates you . " I said shaking my
dark flaming hair out of my face , I made sure my scar wasn't
showing . " You know Gelena , that you have odd eyes , " said
Carlos apparently trying to keep the conversation going . " I do
not ! " Blue eyes with a violet cornea around them is weird . "
Remarked Ceres , " so what if I got my dead dad's eyes . " We
then arrived in the feast room , all the teachers were sitting at
a great long ebony table . I noticed now that the ceiling showed
a very detailed map of all the stars in the sky , in both
hemispheres . The house tables were all made out of oak , we sat
down at the sunrise one . To our surprise , the plates that had
been empty before we had sat down filled with all sorts of food .
Carlos mumbled something like " good service , " as he dug in .
In the middle of breakfast , our scheldes were passed out . All
of ours were the same , our first class was transfiguration . The
second was potions , then herbatlogy , after that defense against
the dark arts , and after that charms , and the last one was
history of magic . " Oh great , now I'm sure we're going to get
homework . I noticed Ceres was beaming , she apparently loved
school , and problay liked homework even better . We found our
way to transfiguration quite quickly mainly because of Alexander
. We went into the classroom , it was very sunny and it had it's
walls lined with bookshelves filled to the brim with books . It
had very high windows on the outer wall so the sunlight would
pour in . And at the bottoms of the windows were torch brackets ,
with torches in them ready to be lit in case needed on a rainy
day . The teacher sat in the very front of the room behind a
black marble desk . Behind him was a quite large blackboard , he
lifted his head to look up . He had sort of darkish green eyes ,
and black hair tipped blond . He grinned at the sight of us and
said in a very happy tone " sit down students , sit down . " He
was praticully beaming at us , mainly because we were the first
ones here . Soon the rest of the class appeared , and the bell
rang . " Students , I wish upon you each that you do well here at
Mountain Top Academy . As some of you know I am the head of your
house , this means I expect you to act like mature young adults .
My name is Professor Glover anyways we Sunrises need to win the
house cup this year , we have not won it now in ten years . That
is the longest that we have ever went without winning , since the
this school was founded thirteen years ago . We won the first
three , and then Stargazer took over . Remember we must beat them
, and another matter in question is the Quidditch cup . First
years are not allowed their own brooms , so do not even try to
smuggle one in under my nose . Because it just doesn't work .
Anyways please support our house at all times , that includes the
middle of a quidditch match . Anyways this class is not to be
tooken lightly , any messing around in my class and you shall be
permanently removed from this class . Transformation is a very
dangerous magic , it is quite tricky . We shall begin very simple
, you shall turn a match into a needle . " The speech went on and
on , finally he gave us our matches . Only Ceres and I
accomplished it , I only accomplished it because I was taught
that spell by my mother when I was three . We made our way down a
darkly lit corridor that led to the potions classroom . The class
was held in the very bottom of the school in the old cellar .
When we entered the classroom it was dark and it seemed very
haunted , lit by only candles we could only see shadows where a
figure sat behind a desk . We sat down with the rest of our class
at the tables that were stern across the room . They had seats
for three Carlos , Ceres , and I sat down at one . When the bell
rang the figure came out of the shadows . The teacher was a witch
with long black hair and bright flashing green eyes . She wore
robes of black along with a black billowing cloak . She was tall
, and she looked very strong in magic . She spoke then to us in
barely a whisper , but we all strained to hear what she said . "
So you are the new first years . I expect you all to behave in my
classroom , there is to be no fooling around . Potions are what
you might not consider magic , but I do not expect you to know
what it feels like yet . To have all your senses tooken over by
one , to have the potion flowing through your bloodstream . To
see the beauty of a shimmering caldron , no your to young to see
it all . Way to young , you see by the time you leave here in
seven years . I expect you to feel that feeling , to see the
beauty and the magic of it all . If you are not a bunch of idiots
like I usually have to teach , I shall teach you Bottle Fame ,
Brew Glory , and even Stopper Death . " She stopped her small
speech , and looked around the classroom and spoke again " My
name is Professor Baxter . " Her class was defintly hard , but
luckily I had cornered Snape into teaching me a few potions a few
summers ago . And I understood what she was saying , it was quite
challenging . We were eager to leave the classroom after all that
had happened . She had even given us homework , on the first day
! Our next class was herbatlogy , we made our way across school
grounds to the greenhouses . We waited outside for a few minutes
, soon the rest of the class came to . Five minutes later the
door opened and we were led inside by a tall lady in green robes
. She smiled at all of us , apparently she was very bubbly . We
took our places at tables with with large tray on them , seated
for three once again . She looked up at us all again she had
turquoise eyes and blond hair and said . " Welcome to herbatlogy
, this is the study of the plants of the wizarding world . I hope
you all do well at it , this class does not require magic but
state and logic of the mind . You shall see all the wonders of
the strange and mysterious plant world , and will be given a
chance to study it all . My name is Professor Shane , please be
careful in this greenhouse . This house contains some very rare
specimens , I don't want you touching anything that I don't give
you permission to touch . The only rule in here is that you
behave your selves and listen to what I say . If you do that you
shall pass this class with flying colors , if you don't you don't
want to know what will happen to you . She droned on and on and
on until she suddenly stopped . The bell was ringing we heard her
mutter " stupid bell . " We rushed out of the greenhouse and back
to the castle , and up the stairs to go find defense against the
dark arts . We found it eventually and we were ten minutes late .
The teacher was already talking when we opened the door , he was
a tall , evil looking man and was sitting on his desk . He said
in a very silky voice , " sit down at any desk . As I was saying
my name is Professor Baker . I will be teaching you defense
against the dark arts as long as I remain here . " He pretty much
told us the same things as everyone else had . His class was only
one thing cool . He showed us his dark arts detectors and told us
a legend about Hogwarts . The legend was about the chamber of
secrets , he even said that he had once went there . He gave us
no classwork or homework and even said goodbye to us when the bell
rang . The next class was level above us , we were going to
charms ." John said that it was very hard , to pass in charms . "
" I doubt it , he probley was just putting you on , " mumbled
Ceres . We got there it was taught by a short , mean tempered
witch by the name of Professor Denar . She had flaming red hair
and dancing blue eyes . " You students will not get away with
anything in this class . " She roared , we found out that she was
the head of Stergazer . The class was nothing short of torture ,
she even yelled at me for yawning . " What a ( thing that rhymes
with witch and it's not ditch )" said Carlos in a cold voice . "
Carlos ! , " squealed Ceres ." You shouldn't say that about a
professor , " frankly I agreed with him . She had given us a
three roll of parchment essay for homework to be handed in next
week . We walked our way down the hall to history of magic , it
was not taught by a ghost like at Hogwarts . It was taught by a
short little man by the name of Professor Pendergraph . He was
nice enough , after the class we rushed downstairs for dinner .
We had not went to lunch we were worried that we would not get to
our defense against the dark arts lesson in time . The meal never
ever tasted better , we pigged out . So it went for nearly two
months , we couldn't believe we had already been at Mountain Top
Academy for that long . Who really could , tonight there was a
Halloween feast to be held . We were in our history of magic
class . It was quite boring we sunk into a deep stupor , every
time he droned on and on like this . Even Ceres could not stifle
her yawns . Finally the bell rang mad we were free to go . We
praticully ran down the staircases to the feast room and we
finally got there . It was decorated with real live bats and
cobwebs , all the teachers were wearing black . The feast was the
best we had yet and after we started going back to the dorms . We
went into the common room to meet a frantic girl . " Whats wrong
, Sene . " asked Carlos in a kind voice . " Oh it's your brother
John I can't find him ! "" What do you mean you can not find him
! " " I haven't seen him all day , I have not seen him since
yesterday . " She was praticully wailing her eyes out by now . "
Okay when was the last time you saw him ? " " He was sneaking
down to the kitchens , to get some snacks . " Carlos looked at me
and I looked back at him . He said in a quiet voice " we need to
tell Professor Glover . " I nodded and said " since he is the
head of the house he should be near . " Carlos just nodded , we
went and opened the portrait hole and slipped through outside
into the corridor . We wondered around in the corridor for about
a half an hour when we spotted a door . We knocked on it and
heard Professor Glover's voice drift out into the corridor " who
is it ? " Carlos spoke up " sir there is a problem . " Professor
Glover stuck his head out the door and said " what in the world
are you talking about . " Then he saw our faces ever so grave . "
What has happened , is everyone all right ? " So we told him
about John and him being missing . " Go back to your dorms , I
need to speak to the headmaster about this . " He rushed off and
we headed back to our dorms , with Carlos ever so worried . We
sat down in the arm chairs beside the fire . " Maybe he just got
lost , " said Ceres trying to clam Carlos down . " That's not
very likely Ceres , John is a expert at secret passages ,
especially here . " He looked up at her , his eyes dark and now
haunted had lost their cheer . We stayed there till midnight ,
then we went up to bed . The next morning all the teachers looked
very worried . Carlos had lost all the color in his face .
Morgana stood up , she rarely ever made announcements , her face
was very grave . " A student has gone missing , I would
appreciate it greatly , if some student had any information to
give us . The student is John Desa ," apparently John was very
popular because a lot of people let out a loud gasp of fear . " I
stress that no one goes outside of their common rooms after dark
from now on , and the teachers will be protrolling the halls .
That is all . " We had a quick breakfast , and rushed up the
stairs for transformation . When we got there , Professor Glover
was pacing around in circles . He looked up and gave us a slight
worried smile , and sat down at his desk . " Sir , what do you
think happened to my brother ? " " Carlos , I don't know I just
don't know . . . . . " He shook his head and smiled a faint smile
. The rest of the class than entered , all of them loud and
talking about John . They all looked at Professor Glover , all of
them worried about John . " There is nothing to worry about ."
But we could tell he was lying . He would not tell us anything
more . We asked Professor Baxter next , she smiled her evil smile .
She was even more creepy now , then she was the first time we had
ever saw her . " John is probalay dead , " is what she told us .
She turned her back on us to stur a potion . She ignored us for
the rest of the class , she just wrote our homework up on the
board and sat down behind her desk . She had to be the cause ,
the way she was acting . She knew something , she knew his
whereabouts . Carlos and Ceres were just looking at me , " She
knows where he is . "
