Harry Potter & the Honeychurch Institute of Magic

"Harry Potter? The Harry Potter?" said Fitzy, "As in savior of the universe, killer of the dark lord, bringer of light? That Harry Potter? Your shorter than I thought you'd be." Everyone laughed at that.

Chapter Six: Harry's Firsties
Late in the afternoon of September first, Harry rode down to the train station in one of the carriages to meet the arriving students and most importantly, his newly sponsored year. He was quite nervous about this, he was going to responsible for seven 11-year-olds and he thoroughly remembered what he and Ron were like at that age and actually became more nervous. Fighting a troll, becoming the youngest seeker in a century, getting an invisibility cloak, helping Hagrid with his pet dragon, fighting Professor Quirrell and Voldemort sticking out of the back of his head, Merlin help me if I get one just like me.
Hagrid? Harry suddenly remembered him standing on the platform each year waiting for the first years to arrive and he stood there picturing himself as a dwarfed version of Rubeus Hagrid, he called out for the first years to gather to him. Harry chuckled, raised his lantern and then did it, "First years, first years this way!"
Soon Harry was surrounded by five little girls all staring up at him, half afraid and half in awe. It wasn't everyday that you met Harry Potter after all. However, they were no boys in sight, so once again Harry called out "First years, over here. First years!"
Moments later a medium sized brown owl landed on his shoulder and Harry responded, "Well hello there Merlin, good to see you again." The owl hooted in reply.
Suddenly a dark haired boy appeared by his side and said "Sir, how is it you know my owl's name?"
Harry looked at the boy as the owl flew from his should and landed on that of his young master. "You must be Will Beagle." said Harry at the astonishment in the boy's eyes at being recognized.
Harry smiled at the boy and looked up to see where his last first year had gotten to when he saw the boy walking along the platform staring at him. To say Harry was shocked, would be an understatement, as the boy who was approaching had white blonde hair and silver grey eyes and looked exactly like Draco Malfoy did when he was that age. Quickly Harry decided that this must be a coincidence, as a Malfoy would never lower them selves to attend such a school like Honeychurch and quickly recounted his new students to make sure they were all there.
Harry then began "Good evening everyone, my name is Professor Harry Potter and for your stay at the Honeychurch Institute of Magic I will be acting as your class sponsor. Now while we are waiting for the older students to climb into their waiting carriages why don't you introduce yourselves to me and then we can begin our walk to the castle."
A girl with reddish brown hair began, "My name is Daisy Gamble, sir."
Next came "I'm Waverly Su."
"Talitha Beaumont, professor."
"Will Beagle."
"I'm Violetta Kennedy."
"Pamela Selkirk, sir" said a girl in a loud whisper.
Then finally "and I'm Xander Malfoy, sir." And he stuck his hand out to Harry in a very polite manner, much unlike any of the relatives that he had ever dealt with. So Harry shook it and smiled at the boy and then Harry turned to his other charges and shook their hands as well.
"Well now, I see that the carriages are all on their way so we can be off." Harry said and then remembered, "Oh don't worry about your luggage it will be brought up to the castle for you." With that Harry and his 'firsties' began their journey on the cobblestone road through the forest to the school.
The walk usually took Harry about 20 minutes to do, but with seven children in tow, it took them a little longer, plus Harry wanted the other students to disembark from their carriages before the first years reached the castle. So along the way Harry decided to engage the students in some conversation before he had to give them their lecture at the entrance hall and the one thing on his mind that he really wanted to know was…
"Mr. Malfoy, if I may ask, are you related to a Draco Malfoy?"
"Yes, sir," replied the boy, "he's my older half-brother."
'Half-brother,' thought Harry, 'this could be trouble.'
However, young Mr. Malfoy continued, "He and his mother don't have much to do with me since my mother was Lucuis' mistress. They are paying for my education, but they refused to send me to Hogwarts."
"Oh, I'm sorry to hear that your relatives treat you that way, but Hogwarts loss is our gain." said Harry trying to make his student feel better, but decided it was best to change the subject least it turn to Xander's father and the role Harry played in his death.
"How about you Mr. Beagle, do you have that owl of yours spoiled rotten yet." Harry said making the other children laugh.
"Merlin isn't spoiled sir," however, Merlin hooted in disagreement at that.
"I think your owl is off a different opinion Mr. Beagle." said a smiling professor, "How about the rest of you, what pets have you brought with you?"
"I brought a Puffskien, professor, I hope that's all right, but my mum said it shouldn't a problem as they are very docile," said Daisy Gamble in a rush and continued, "and his name is Wally."
"Well, I'm not sure about the school rules concerning pets, but I know for a fact that you are correct Puffskien's are very docile creatures, so I'm sure that Wally would be a fine pet for you to have." Said Harry, knowing full well the rules concerning pets in the castle and that as class sponsor it was his decision on whether or not she would be allowed to keep it. "Anyone else?"
"I have an eagle owl, sir," replied Xander Malfoy, "his name is Lucifer."
"Lucifer? Is he demonic?" asked one of the girls.
"No, he's a big lazy bird, who is scared of his own shadow." laughed young Mr. Malfoy.
The more Harry listened to Xander Malfoy, the more confused he became by the boy. This child acting nothing like any other Malfoy he had ever met. He was polite, easy-to-get along with and was making friends easily. 'Maybe he was adopted?' thought Harry.
"How about the rest of the girls?" Harry went on with the discussion. As it turned out both Talitha and Waverly had kittens and Violetta didn't have a pet saying "My mother is allergic the cats and toads are too weird."
"What about an owl?" asked Will taking great pride in Merlin.
"They're okay, but what I really want is a phoenix." stated Violetta plainly.
To which Harry piped in, "I have a really good friend who has a phoenix named Fawkes but unfortunately it's the phoenix that chooses the human to be their companion, not the other way around."
At this point Harry and his students reached the closed gate of the wall surrounding the school and even though he could see the school as it truly was, he knew the children couldn't and he turned to them and could see the looks on their faces as they looked at the smoldering ruins of the castle.
"Professor, please tell me this isn't the school." said Waverly Su.
"I'm afraid it is Ms. Su." Harry replied at her horrified expression but continued anyway, "Now I need a volunteer to help me out right now. Anyone interested?"
Both Daisy Gamble and Will Beagle raised their hands to volunteer, so let them both do the job. He instructed both students to go the bell and together pull the rope to announce that they had arrived. Both students ran to rope and began to pull. Remembering what happened last time Harry turned away as sudden shower of gold and silver sparks flew everywhere covering the ruins, the wall and the students where they stood and with a great blinding light the ruins melted away as wave after wave of magic flew back like a pair curtains on an overly greased rod revealing the small but magnificent castle that stood before them. Then the large golden gates that sparkled all on their own stood closed before Harry and his students slowly opened for them to invite them in.
Then Harry heard Mr. Beagle say "I don't know about anyone else, but I have large black spots in my eyes."
* * * * *
When Harry and his students reached the entrance hall of the school he stopped them and began to explain the school rules and regulations of the school to them and what he expected of them both as individuals and as a group and then prepared them for the New Year Celebration. "Now everyone, we'll be going in as a group and I'll be presenting you to the headmistress and the staff for inspection. After that, if you pass inspection, she'll direct you to your seats at the appropriate tables. The boys will be seated with the other boys of Brutus House and the girls will sit with other girls at the Desdrilla House tables."
Then Harry did his best McGonagall impression and said, "I'll go and see of they are ready for us and while I'm gone, try to smarten your selves up a bit." Harry then turned and walked into the dining hall, chuckling to himself the whole way.
Harry poked his head into the doors of the dining hall and saw Edwina at the staff table, who in turn nodded to him, indicating that they were ready for the first years.
Harry returned to the students who had just been frightened by one of the castle ghosts and informed them that the staff was ready and waiting for them. Then he led them into the dining for the New Year Celebration where he lined up his students so they were facing the staff table while Madame Klump looked down her nose at them as if sizing them up for their worthiness to study at her school. Then Harry made his announcement as was his part of the ritual, "Madame Klump, esteemed teachers, I would like to humbly present these new students for inspection."
Unknown to his first year students, Harry was standing behind them making faces at the headmistress trying to make her laugh, which was also part of the tradition of the school. Trying to make the headmistress and staff laugh so their students would be accepted more readily was an old and treasured tradition among the staff. Of course, it helped being an animagus and he kept turning his face into partial animal expressions. He had Professors Fitzhugh, Smallwood and Whitlock laughing already and Madame Klump was starting to feel the strain in her face. Soon Professor Morgan, and the two Thorne's were cracking smiles and Edwina's face finally broke into a smile. However, no matter how hard he tried he couldn't move Professor Proctor, but had the feeling that Professor Sangeorge was close to breaking. Finally, however, Madame Klump gave in and directed the students to their appropriate tables and explained the tradition to yet another generation of students.
Harry sat down at the staff table of the dining hall waiting for the New Year Celebration to begin. Much like Hogwarts, almost every magical school began the new school year with a feast or celebration of sorts and Honeychurch was no different. However, this was one of the few similarities to Hogwarts that Harry had discovered from what Edwina and Taryn had told him over the last week.
After calming down and composing herself Madame Klump rose from her seat cleared her throat in order for any lingering students attention and to find their proper places at their tables so that she may begin her start-of-term speech to begin the new school year.
"Good evening students, once again we start a brand new school year saying goodbye to old friends and saying hello to the new. Last year we said goodbye to our graduating class as well as old friend and college, Professor Gregory Ingersol, and this year we've just met a wonderful group of young people and I am pleased to announce taking Professor Ingersol's place as Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher will non other than Professor Harry Potter, who…."
It was at this point that the dining hall erupted with cheers and applause for their new teacher, which lasted for several minutes before Madame Klump could regain control of the room.
"Now, now, I'm sure Professor Potter appreciates your cheers, but we really must get through these introductions and announcements if we wish to eat the wonderful food the house elves have cooked for us." Soon the dining hall was quiet once more, well enough for her to continue. "Now as I was about to say, along with his duties as Defense teacher, Professor Potter will also be taking on the task as Flying instructor and has worked though the summer repairing our Quidditch pitch enough for us to once again have Quidditch matches…"
Once again Madame Klump lost control of the dining hall, as another even loader eruption of noise engulfed the room. Everyone was excited about the return of Quidditch to the school. Unable to regain control of the room, Madame Klump sat down in her chair to wait. That's when Harry leaned over to her and asked, "I dunno Edwina, I don't think they like the idea of Quiddtich very much, what do you think?" She just looked at him and laughed.
Eventually Professor Proctor had enough of the noise; he rose from his seat pointed his wand to his throat and quietly said "Sononrus."
Then a booming voice was heard over everything in the hall, "QUIET! THIS IS A DINING HALL NOT A FREE-FOR-ALL, EVERYONE PLEASE TAKE YOUR SEATS AND LET OUR ESTEEMED HEADMISTRESS GET ON WITH HER ANNOUNCEMENTS SO THAT WE CAN ENJOY OUR DINNER!" then he sat back down, put his wand to his throat once more and whispered "quietus."
After that Madame Klump rose to her feet once more and began her annual speech covering Honeychurch's history. "The Honeychurch Institute of Magic was founded in 1527 by the Honeychurch family which, unfortunately, has long ago died out. In the school there are two school houses, Brutus House and Desdrilla House. Brutus House was for the boys and their dormitory and has been in the housed in the south tower while Desdrilla House was for the girls and they live in the north-west tower. Each house was named after the two children of the founding family, who had been the first two students of the school." It was somewhere at his part of the speech that Harry zoned out and began thinking of his morning lesson plan when suddenly he was awoken from his reverie by the words "…and let the New Year Celebration begin."
Then much like at Hogwarts, a great feast appeared on the tables of the dining hall and everyone began eating with gusto while the students were all talking among themselves. Harry suspected quite a bit of it was about Quidditch, but wasn't entirely certain, but he'd probably find out tomorrow.
With the celebration concluded and students beginning to disembark to their dormitories, Madame Klump once more stood and addressed the student body, "One last thing everyone before you tuck yourselves off into a much needed slumber. Flying classes will be posted by the end of the week and Quidditch tryout will be in two weeks per Professor Potter's request. Also there a unnamed benefactor has donated two dozen brand new brooms for the school's use, so if you don't have one of your own, there will be something appropriate for you to ride on."
Lastly Madame Klump said before the students retired for the evening, "If you have any questions about what it is you might be riding, please see Professor Potter and he can look into it for you."

In case anyone is wondering, why is chapter 6 coming out so quickly after Chapter 5. Well the reason is when I was writing the Will Beagle story I meant for it to tie into this story at the beginning of Chapter 6, so when I returned to this one, I started with Chapter 6, completely forgeting about Chapter 5.
So I had to get cracking on Chapter 5 in order to for you to have Chapter 6.
I hope you enjoy them both.
