First Day

Most people say that the beginning of the school year is the easiest part, and most would be right if they didn't have to deal with a manipulative old man, and a backstabbing family who don't understand the meaning of the words "go away".

Apparently a few years back Lily Potter had divorced the worthless sperm donor, James as he was more focused on being in the spotlight than anything else, and had remarried with a younger woman named Alura Weasley, a distant relative of the walking garbage disposal, at the urging of the headmaster who had the fool wrapped around his finger. The day after the sorting he'd gotten a message from the woman and after the first sentence burned the insulting dribble. The only bit of entertainment he got was from watching the obvious separation of his worthless brother and his sidekick from the rest of their house. He'd heard rumors that he tried to assert his dominance over the house only to end up creating a large Melqart sized gap between them.

"Hermione what class do we have first today?" Hadrian turning towards Hermione who, despite only receiving it less than a minute ago, most likely already memorized the entire schedule, as she sat between him and Neville. Although they were in different houses he was able to get around that rule by stating that since Neville was one of his guards that he was to remain at his side. The other professors tried to protest, mainly Dumbledore, but since he was a King they were duty bound to follow his orders.

"First is Transfiguration with the Gryffindors, we have about an hour before it begins though so we should use it to figure out a route so we don't get lost." They both nodded in agreement and went back to their meal as there was a bright flash of light and in front of them was a pure white phoenix with a letter in her talons.

"Looks like Hedwig's back from Italy. Hey girl, what've you got for me?" Giving the bird a pat on the head he retrieves the letter from her talons and saw that it was from his spy in Italy. Looking over the short note his eyes widen in surprise. "I can't believe this." He says quietly but his two attendants still heard him.

"What's wrong? Is it the new guy again." Before they came to this school they'd gotten word of a New King in Japan who rose to power after defeating the Persian God of War Verethragna. Needing to blow off some steam, and because he was bored he decided to test the newbie, which also had the added boost of increasing the power of one of his first authorities he gained from Circe. He was interesting to say the least, definitely a lot of potential for the future but he could tell right away that he was destined to have bad luck with women in the future. "According to the Italy branch, the old geezers have given the Gorgoneian to the Japanese king. What the hell are they thinking, he hasn't even been a Campione for a month now and they're entrusting him with something that has the potential to destroy the world." Apparently he'd been talking too loudly as everyone was now staring at him.

"Are they insane." Neville whisper yelled. "I understand the need to stop the Prophecy of the Starless Night but to give it to a rookie. Whatever, no matter how displeased with this decision we are we can't do anything from the other side of the world. We'll just have to wait things out and see how it plays out. No one wanted to admit it, they were slightly hoping that things would play out like prophesied, solely to fight with Athena, but now they'll just have to wait.

The rest of the week had progressed slowly after that, aside from everyone asking him about his owning a Phoenix which is supposedly extremely rare. They'd just got done with Potions Class, which unfortunately involved both his brother and his sidekick. He tuned them out really well, and despite the attempts of the potions master to get under his skin the class went smoothly. As they headed back to their dorms they were stopped by their head of house who was standing in the hallway and was approaching them.

"My Lord," The tiny professor said addressing him formally, "the headmaster has requested your presence in his office alone." Internally groaning,after having a bit of an idea he looked down at the professor and gave his reply.

"No." And with that they left leaving a stunned professor behind as no one had ever outright denied the headmaster so blatantly. But then he reminded himself that he was no ordinary student, he was a king after all and they did what they want.

The rest of the day managed to pass relatively peacefully. Apparently the message that he was not to be messed with had been passed to the other professors so none of the others had tried to bother him. However it seems his luck was fated to be interrupted. Just as they were about to enter the Great Hall they were caught inside a barrier. "Seems someone wants to have a meeting with us." Hadrian said dryly.

"Welcome Godslayer. I thinks it's time we had a chat." The trio turned around and saw a strange, albeit familiar sight.

AN: I've decided to bring this story back to life. I originally was going to scrap it as I've been trying to focus on ideas for a One Piece story I'm working on. I will be trying to update this more often
