~The next Morning...
Day 2 of being in Hogwarts. I'm ready. I woke up and stretched, seeing Oliver walk into our room with a bunch of paper on his hand.
"Excited for the first day of learning, I see." He said with a smirk. God, that sexy, charming smirk. Honestly, everyone in Gryffindor- the guys of course- is just perfect.
Then there's me.
"Yeah." I smiled before climbing off my bed and stretching, again.
"Well these are schedules, one for you, the others for the rest of your roommates. Help me pass it to them when they wake up, will ya'?" He asked with a small smile. I had just noticed he had dimples. They weren't super deep, but they were there. Adding up to his perfect facial features.
"Jamieson? Hello?" Oliver called my name out, waving a tied-up scroll in-front of my face before bonking my head lightly with it. "Huh? Oh, sorry. Yeah sure, I'll give it to them when they wake up." I quickly said, taking said my schedule, then the others'.
"Thanks." He smiled before leaving our dormitory, closing the door. 'He's so dreamy.' I thought before shaking my head, 'If I keep thinking like this I might just turn into a girl.'
"Oh, in case you're wondering, the stairs to your right lead to the bathroom. You might want to shower before getting into your very first class." He said with a small smile, peeking into my room again before once again disappearing. I nodded then prepared myself for a shower.
I left the room and looked to my right, there were no staircase to my right. I was slightly confused until I saw said staircase slowly turn my way. With a small chuckle, I walked up the flight of stairs once they stopped.
I ended up in-front of a wooden door with some sort of crystal ball engraved on the top. The crystal ball shone a blue light once I touched the knob, then turned it. I entered and saw a huge open bathroom with a few large windows behind the open shower stalls.
Who the heck designed this place? Surely no one would want to be seen while they were showering!
Oh, I meant the large windows.
"Don't worry about the large windows, we can look outside but peoples outside can't see us." Explained a guy entering the bathroom after me, probably saw me standing there with a confused expression. I nodded in response, 'So there are spells that turns glass into a one-way mirror... Either that or the glass was already a one-way mirror when they were installed.' I pondered before walking forward with my towel, clothes and everything else in my hand.
"Excuse me but uh-" Before I could finish my sentence, I had to quickly look away. The guy was already naked when I turned to look at him, so before trouble could arise, I quickly looked away. "What's up?" He asked, amusement laced in his voice.
"Uh- Where's the closed stalls? Assuming there are closed stalls..." I prayed there were closed stalls.
Please let there be closed stalls!
"It's all the way at the end. It's fine to look y'know, we're both guys." He answered, his voice hinting playfulness.
I mean I wouldn't mind looking but... Let's just say I wouldn't just look.
I'd stare like the gay creepy bastard I am.
I quickly sprinted down the tiled hall before reaching the end. To my right were a few closed stalls, probably around 9 or 10. They were the same sizes as the regular stalls, only they had some sort of curtain blocking them.
I entered the one at the right-most side, closest to the exit. Well, as close as it can get, really. Once I was inside, I hung my clothes and towel near the curtain, like that other guy did, then wondered...
How the hell does this cloth block other peoples out? Surely peoples could just pull the curtains!
I hadn't even realized I was standing there like an idiot for about 10 minutes until that other guy came in, making me squeal in embarrassment. "You haven't even undressed." He chuckled before shaking his head, making my head burn red. "W-What do you want?" I asked, my face still bright red.
I couldn't help but notice that his hair was still damp, making him that much more sexier. "Oliver was looking for you earlier so you should probably hurry up." He explained, earning a nod from me.
"By the way, if you really don't want people to come in, tap this curtain with your wand. Once you're done, tap it again." He explained before leaving me alone.
I did what he said, by placing the tip of my wand to on the curtain. I watched as it turned from the velvet red curtain I was just looking at into a wall of cement, then covered in the same tiles the rest of the bathroom was covered in. "Wow..." I gasped.
This place just gets more and more amazing.
Once I was stark naked, I hung my clothes on the wall and looked around for a handle to turn on the shower. To my surprise, there was no handle. "What the heck...?" I whispered to myself. Do I need to tap the pipe with my wand too?
I did just that, and to my surprise, water came out from the shower. It was cold, but not too cold. Just the way I liked it. There was also some sort of wooden box on a shelf, which I took and opened. Inside was a bar of soap, coloured white and smelling like vanilla.
I pondered for a bit... Why would they use put wood in a moist environment... That would just cause moss to grow on it. Then I realized said wood was waterproof.
After I was fully clothed, wearing my wizard robe and almost completely dry, I tapped the tile wall again and watched it turn back into cloth curtain.
It was quite a big mistake to wear a robe into an open bathroom. Immediately the bottom of the robe got wet as I quickly sprinted down the bathroom, trying not to look at a few of the guys showering.
As soon as I opened the door, I bumped into Oliver, who quickly grabbed me before I could trip and all. "Whoah, careful there tiger." He teased with a small smirk. "Well aren't you wet." He continued teasing me, making my face burn slightly red. I should be annoyed instead of embarrassed!
"Excoquatur." He chants with a wave of his wand, I stood still as the water stains on my robe completely disappeared. I honestly cannot wait to learn all of these spells! They make life so much more convenient.
"Wait for me in your dormitory, we've something to do." He instructed and I nodded before walking down the stairs which took me to my room. Well, it was supposed to take me to my room until it took a turn to the right, leading to the girl's dormitory.
"Well aren't you unlucky." Hazel commented with a smile, "Mornin' Jamieson." She greeted. "Morning. Now how do I forcefully turn this staircase the other way?" I asked with a playful frown, seeing a girl standing behind her.
She looked like she could be from an Asian family. Or I could be wrong.
"You can't do that, actually. There are enchantments here that forbids you from using spells that could alter or damage this tower." Explained one of the men in the painting.
"Oh." I said with a small sigh, walking down the stairs. 'Guess I have to go the long way.' I thought, then sighed again. I walked down the staircase, then down another one, then up another one to my dormitory. "Morning Jamieson." Rafe greeted with a smile, stretching.
"Morning." I replied, putting yesterday's clothes on my bed. I'll have to find a place to do laundry later. "Your schedule's somewhere in there, Rafe." I stated, pointing at the stack of schedules on the table near the door. "A'ight." He replied before rummaging in his drawer.
"Where's the bathroom, by the way?" He asked once his clothes were in his hands. "Just wait for the staircase to your right. It's behind a wooden door with a glass orb in it." I explained, folding my clothes neatly. Once he was gone, I decided to wake up Devin. Wouldn't want him to be late on the first day now...
"Devin, wake up." I said in a gentle voice, shaking him lightly. Only when he was awakened did I notice his hair. It was horribly messy. "Hi." He greeted with a small smile before yawning. "You stink. You should go with shower. I already showered." I joked, earning me a small smile from the blond boy.
"It's a bit early though... Classes start at 9 AM, and it's only 6:45 AM." He stated curiously before standing up. "Well, nothing's wrong with being early. The staircase to your right takes you to the bathroom. Oh, also, your schedule's somewhere in there." I explained, then pointed at the stack of tied-up scrolls on the table.
"Thanks." He smiled before looking for his wizard robe. I have to admit, his voice is actually pretty soothing. It wasn't high-pitched, in-fact, it's perfect for him.
"Jamieson?" After a few minutes of sitting in silence, I heard Oliver call my name. "Here." I replied, quickly standing up. "I suppose you don't have to knock before coming in." I joked, rolling my eyes. "Oh, woops." He quickly closed the door and knocked a few times. "I was only joking." I rolled my eyes while opening the door.
"Can't take chances, you might be up to something." He winked after saying that, making my face once again burn red. "What is it?" I asked, shaking off the thoughts.
"Oh, yeah. Professor McGonagall wants to see you. Don't know why." He explained before stepping aside, giving me room to walk. I nodded before walking down the stairs, turning right, walking down another set of stairs and following him down an empty corridor. "Good Morning Professpr. Grandolf." Oliver greeted, I copied his movement which was a simple bow-down.
Said teacher cockily turned his head and continued his way, not even bothering to smile. "Wow. Are all teachers like that?" I said with a huff. Please don't tell me they are…
"Most of them, yeah." Oliver sighed with a sad frown. "What year are you in, by the way?" I asked curiously. He looks like a 6th year. Or maybe a 7th year.
Well he definitely looks more mature and built than me…
"4th year, actually." He replied as we neared a wooden door. Well, I was kinda right.
"This is Professor McGonagall's office, she's inside waiting for you." He smiled before watching me enter the room. "Jamieson H. Potter. I didn't expect you to come in this early." Said teacher stated in surprise, looking up at me with her round glasses.
"I woke up early today, professor." I explained with a small smile before closing the door. "Have a seat." She continued, pointing at a chair facing her.
"Excited for the first day, are you?" She asked, looking into my eyes. I nodded as I sat down. I'm actually crazy excited. I've History of Magic first, then Charms, Transfiguration, Potions, Flying and finally Divination from 9 AM till 3 PM, then from 10 PM till 11:30 PM I've Astronomy.
"Now Jamieson, please be honest with me. Before you got to Hogwarts…" She trailed off, setting down her book and changing her expression to that of a serious one. "Were you attacked?" She asked, now in a serious manner.
I nodded slowly… "W-We were attacked in the forest… I think Mr. Weasley called it a Clamento… Then we were attacked while we were on the huge lake by these giant seaweed things." I explained, earning several nods from her. "Well, that was all I wished to know, Mr. Potter. You may be on your way now." She said after a short moment of silence.
I stood up and walked towards the wooden door, but then stopped. "Professor McGonagall… I was attacked. Alone." I sighed before telling her, turning around again.
"I… Back when I was at the Dursleys, before I received the invitation… This black, ghost-like creature came down from my attic. It died when it followed me out into the sunlight though." I explained, once again earning nods from said professor.
I left the room soon after telling her all that.
To my delight, nobody was outside. Which meant I had to navigate through the entire freaking castle.
I guess that's not too bad, I've a lot of time left to waste in-case I get lost.
I was minding my own business until I heard an angered yell, "Leave me alone, Malfoy!" coming from the corridor to my right. I quickly neared the wall and slowly made my way to the corner, peeking at what was happening from behind a column.
"Oh come on Diggory, joining the Slug Club isn't so bad. You get to be in the same league as the elites. I know you want to be part of the elites, who wouldn't?"
"I'm not interested in your father's stupid club, Malfoy. Now leave me alone." The guy who I assumed is called Diggory turned around afterwards, walking away. "You'll change your mind later. For now, Crucio." Chanted the Malfoy, sending a small ball of light towards Diggory, who fell onto the ground afterwards.
Diggory began screaming in pain, which was soon silenced as he clutched his body painfully. Once the blond monster was gone, I ran to Diggory's side. "A-Are you okay?!" I asked, panicking as soon as I knelt down. "S-Solvo! Please!" He pleaded before squirming in pain, curling up into a ball.
I panicked, is he speaking a different language or something?
That was until I realized he was telling me a spell.
I quickly whipped out my wand and took a deep breath, swishing my sturdy wand around I chanted "Solvo" In a calm manner. A thin string of light came from the tip of my wand and connected me and Diggory, causing said guy to glow a green light.
After a while, I immediately felt all of my energy being drained. I collapsed onto the ground, suddenly feeling extremely tired. In fact, my entire body felt sore!
My breathing became shallow, but I was able to hear everything around me. "T-Thank you..." Diggory stated in a weak voice as he got up, "Ceilan! Jamieson!" I heard Oliver call from a distance.
Ok so his name isn't Diggory. Ceilan huh... Ceilan Diggory. Why is that name ridiculously familiar?
"Ceilan are you alright?!" Oliver asked in a panicky voice, "I'm fine but..." Ceilan trailed off.
I managed to get my breathing under control, "Why do I suddenly feel like a living corpse?" I asked with a small smile, trying to lift my hand, only to fail.
"You casted Salvo... That's supposed to happen." Ceilan said before kneeling down and putting a hand under my neck and one under my thigh. "I-I can get up." I quickly said, trying to get up. I am not about to be carried like a princess, even if my prince is possibly one of the hottest guys on Earth.
"You can barely move." He commented, trying to lift me up. I squirmed out of his grasp, "I-I'm not that weak!" I said embarrassedly, my face one again burning red. It's only the first day and so much has happened already.
Well technically it's my 2nd day here.
"What spell was that...?" I asked curiously as Oliver helped me gain my balance, strength slowly returning to the bottom part of my body. At least I can walk to my classes instead of flunking them on the first day.
"You casted Salvo. It's a cleansing spell, able to cleanse any hex, jinx or curse. Though you pay by having all the energy drained from your body if it's a powerful curse." Oliver explained, I noticed Ceilan was staring at me oddly. As if he's studying me.
~Ceilan
Oliver and I returned Jamieson to his dormitory, so he could get some rest. Classes start in about 2 hours and 45 minutes so he should at least regain ¾ of his energy.
Once we were both alone, I looked at Oliver. "I… I think I found him, Oliver." I said, hope obvious in my voice. "Your brother…?" He asked, stopping whatever he was doing.
"I'm not sure yet. My family's background is ridiculously blurry, he might be my brother… Or maybe not." I frowned sadly. I came to Hogwarts in hopes of learning magic, and finding my long lost brothers.
My parents didn't want me to learn about the Diggory family background, but I did anyways. I discovered that I not only had one brother, but I had two. All three of us were separated upon birth, which actually saddened me. I've always wished to have a brother instead of an annoying sister.
Hopefully, my hunch is right.
