I do not own Harry Potter.
Enjoy!
Ziggy was livid after he had to waste magic on healing his own servants.
It became clear, that the Ministry of Magic and Hogwarts wanted to bully him into submission.
We'll, he had a way to fight back that really was going to hurt them.
He didn't really have to do anything all and Hogwarts would destroy itself from the inside.
He purchased a magical writer and made sure it wrote down everything he said before he copied it over a dozen times and put it in envelopes.
Then he went to his hawk which he called Teun, and put a mail bag around her, pleading with her to do him a solid.
If there was a flying pet getting past the wards of Hogwarts, it would be her.
He had to promise her several mice before she did anything, she pretty much knew he was a house elf because she could see his magical core so they had a campion relationship, she flow away to Hogwarts.
Her low level spell work helped her to travel to the castle in record time and she forced herself through the wards.
Albus Dumbledore as he sat down to eat felt it, when something entered the castle however, he soon realised what it was.
A beautiful hawk carrying a bag around her neck appeared in the dinning hall.
Everybody in the hall, saw the animal immediately and the next thing they knew, letters were flying out of the bag, magically spelled to students.
If people paid attention those who got the letters were mostly muggleborn.
Tom Riddel and his group noticeably didn't receive a letter but it didn't mean they couldn't read it over shoulders and neither could the teachers.
The students who were eating, excitedly opened it and we're stunned by the contents.
[Dear Student. You have been accepted to Royal Lakewood Magical School. We are accepting transfers now. If you are interested, please write a letter to this address.]
There was nothing but stunned silence as Albus Dumbledore read the letter.
The new school was trying to pawn his students!
He wanted to laugh, completely confident about the loyalty his students had towards this school.
The fact that a student found a dead student in a now closed off female toilet, did not make him worried at all.
Students were in an uproar over this letter they received and it became a hot topic of discussion even when heading to their common rooms.
The Hogwarts staff had a meeting to express the letter only to be re-assured by Albus that none of the students would ever think of jumping ship.
The man was completely blinded to the absolute hatred going on under his nose and an ideology going around in the Pureblood circle that Muggleborns were unclean.
A lot of heavily bullied students didn't dismiss the letter instead they slept on it.
When it was time for Spring Break, the Hogwarts staff was beaming as the students left, many being forced back to terrible homes because Hogwarts refused to allow Students to stay in the holidays.
And no alarm was ever raised when a student came to a teacher to beg to stay in school.
The terrible conditions and lack of care, had many turning to their acceptance letter from the other school with new eyes.
Before, they had no choice to return back to Hogwarts every year but now with a single letter they felt like they had a bit more control over their lives.
Would the other school allow them to stay in on the holidays? They couldn't help but ask.
They used an Owl to write to the address and Ziggy soon found letters arriving wondering about the school, in an amount that would shock a certain headmaster.
He then sent them a pamphlet which shocked the students because they never got such a thing for Hogwarts.
They saw the list of lessons that were way more than Hogwarts but the pamphlet treated them like adults, it explained to them why all students had to do Maths, English, Science and Occlumercy.
But the real seller was when parents who were concerned about their children saw the titution fee that was much less expensive compared to Hogwarts and that the school offered the dorms open for those who wish to stay in school on the Holidays.
The school looked so much more reasonable compared to Hogwarts after looking through the brochure and it guaranteed that they had a future in the muggle world when they graduated while Hogwarts had said nothing on what happens after graduation which would make anybody uneasy.
The list of what jobs they could do based of their blood in the magical world helped too.
But what Hogwarts or the Magical Ministry didn't knew was that Rubeus Hagrid, a half giant student who had been framed and kicked out of Hogwarts, was summoned for a trial by the British magical government and the headmaster of the new school was the one who brought the case to their attention.
Hagrid was stunned to be given a proper trail by these people and his memories were viewed for everybody to see.
Everybody could clearly see that the half Giant was just minding his business down the hallway when his memory goes black and he wakes up in a place he had never seen before, he walked out only to be met with the horrified faces of the Hogwart Staff members and students, he didn't even knew what was going on when he was suddenly restrained and asked questioned.
The place he walked out of was the Chamber of secrets.
However, the head of the new school gave the whole jury backstory of the chamber and how to open it, thus why the magical world believes only an evil person could open the chamber.
They had to test Hagrid for Parseltongue but Hagrid stared at the caged snake blankly when it hissed and a blood test revealed there was not an ounce of the snake language in his blood.
The conclusion was, there could be no way he opened that chamber and the UK government had to question the incompetency of the Ministry of Magical and Hogwarts to not give him a proper trial.
Hagrid and his mother cried when he was proven to be innocent but he couldn't help but be bitter towards Hogwarts after being framed and treated so terribly by the members of staff there.
He didn't want to go back to Hogwarts because of the perscuation of his creature blood and no doubt suspicious looks from the students whenever something happened, so the heademaster of the new school, who opened the case for him stepped in with a letter.
Royal Lukewood Magical school was more then happy to offer him education after his innocence was proven and both of them thanked him a thousand times.
Who knews what would happen to him with only a third year level of education as an adult?
Who would take a person that the wizard world believed as evil for a job? He may end up on his knees in front of Dumbledore begging the man for a job at the school to survive.
The new headmaster had changed that for him.
So the first day after Spring Break rolled around and the beaming smiles of the Hogwarts staff changed when they noticed the giant holes in each house as they sat down for breakfast.
Where had their students gone!?
#Scene Change#
The transferred students were placed on a train that they all were given tickets to in front of normal muggle people.
Hagrid and his mothers height stood out like a sore thumb but the boy was excited to go to school again, he wore a white shirt, red tie, sleevless blue jacket, stripped school trousers and black shoes.
The school had been kind enough to give him three sets of the uniform for free, after what he had been through and a PE kit.
Hagrid looked like he was going to a fancy boarding school, completely different from the unwashed beastly looking teenager he was at Hogwarts.
There was no running through a magical wall that muggles could see, instead there was a train and instead of that graduation looking robe for Hogwarts, his cape was blue and went over his head keeping him warm.
He said goodbye to his mother and than entered the bus with the other students, his height made him stand out immediately on the train but he was in for a very big surprise when he opened his first cabin.
Two guys were in it and they stared at him in shock.
"Huge!" Said one guy.
"Err, can I sit here?" Said, Hagrid nervously.
"Dude, of course!" Said, the other guy. "Come sit down. My name is William Porkly and this is my friend Elliot Time. We're third years"
He found fellow third years!
He sat down opposite them and the seat was more than strong enough to hold his weight and the ceiling was more than enough for him not to bang his head.
"You don't happen to have giants blood in you?" Said, Elliot.
"On my mother side" Hagrid said, nervously, thinking they would judge him negatively like Hogwarts.
"That's awesome!" Both of them said, making him blink.
"Dude, we can call you to move stuff?" said, William.
"We can call you to play dodgeball" said, Elliot before he started cackling evilly while Hagrid wondered what the hell that was and why he was cackling.
"Dude, you don't knew how incredible it is that your a half giant don you?" Said, William, seeing his demeanour. "Your old school must have really sucked if you don't realise how amazing you are. But don't worry, me and Elliot are going to show you. Welcome to the best years of your life" before he said. "Chocolate?" presenting a tin.
Hagrid slowly took one and ate it, he was stunned to realise people had come to him for friendship when nobody at Hogwarts wanted to go near him.
Meanwhile, the other transfer students were shocked to see the nice interior of the train and the students inside them were very welcoming towards them.
Like Hogwarts there was a trolly available for students who wanted something to eat, and the prices were very reasonable, unknown to many transfers the chocolate was laced with malnutrition potion and other things for students who came from a less than pleasant home.
The chocolates soon became very popular because it made people feel good and some more observant ones felt their bones not ache as much after they had one, and bruises were less red.
Ziggy got out of his royal cabin and went from cabin to cabin introducing himself to the newbies.
"Hello, my name is Luther Maxiusm and I am a perfect at this school" he said, seeing new faces who looked at him with wide eyes. "Please do not hesitate to approach me or any perfect if you have an issues, we are more than happy to help"
And than he left, the moment he did, he could hear squeeling from girls who transferred.
However for Hagrid he said. "Welcome Hagrid Rubeus to the school" he didn't look at him judgingly while the half giant looked at him with wide eyes because of how similar and younger looking he was to the headmaster who saved his neck.
He gave the giant a soft smile before walking away.
Hagrid would find out from his new friends that he had been addressed personally by the headmaster's own son, which explained why he knew his name and the relationship the teen had with the headmaster.
5th year transfer students were very delighted to hear they were in the same year as him since there was a likelihood that they would have a class together.
The train disappeared from the track entering a magical barrier and the new students saw the new school, but more importantly they didn't see a huge forest surrounding it filled with dangerous creatures that could kill them.
Four people were waiting to welcome the transfers, while the rest of the students went venturing towards the castle.
Those who welcomed them were young and greeted them with a warm peppy spirit that they wouldn't find in Hogwarts, they greeted Hagrid with a smile and Hagrid couldn't say he didn't find the only female in the group pretty.
He wasnt the only who was swept away by her smile and good looks, most didn't notice the expelled student because they were too busy looking at the good looking people who came to greet them.
"Welcome our transfers to Royal Lakewood Magical School" said, the female, happy and friendly. "Please come with us to the wand shop. It is standard procedure here to make sure all your wands are happy and working. If something happened to your wand, it is dangerous to use it in school especially because of your magical core"
Everybody looked at each other, some of them weren't going to admit something did happen to their wand in the Holiday or at Hogwarts.
They followed the four adults who made sure the students were well protected as they were split between two shops to make sure their wands were working properly.
To many surprise, they were asked to try another wand out that felt way more comfortable to them than the wand they were given for Hogwarts and it was explained to them that the wand that felt so comfortable to them had nothing to do with their parents.
The wands they were given were theirs and only theirs, if anybody else tried to use it, they couldn't.
Not even their parents would be able to use to use this wand.
Their Hogwart wand could be used by other people even though if felt uncomfortable, so they never truly felt like it was truly theirs.
Even making a simple spell was a lot easier with the wand provided by the school, it was also explain to them that each wand had a protection spell to keep it from being damaged by muggle means and it could be recalled back if you lost it.
After hearing that some made the switch right on the spot so their names were carved on the wand right in front of them.
Those who didn't want to switch could keep the wand for back up.
When they were given the okay, they entered the castle and they were lead to the hospital wing for inspection.
You could tell those who freaked out immediately and those who couldn't care less.
The nurse was watching their expression when they heard the words medical examination, however they went along with it to try and not to stick out.
To their surprise, the nurse's were very professional, despite the bodies they were exposed to.
If the students had glamour on, that glamour was dropped without the student noticing thanks to an object in the room.
The nurses and doctors wrote them a prescription before they could freak out and they were given small potions in a very professional manner, they were told what each potion does and asked them if they would like to stay at school for the summer holidays.
The student was usually too stunned to speak, seeing the eyes that looked at them as if they were a normal healthy student and not somebody who needed to be reminded of how terrible their lives were.
Some wept on the spot and took the potions and said yes, they would love to stay in school all summer.
They were glamoured back when they walked out and the potions were put in their trunks.
Already the school was much better than Hogwarts in their eyes.
The check up took 2 hours before they were gathered in the 'Houses Hall' to chose what house they would love to go to.
There was no creepy talking hat to read through their memories to sort them, instead they simply picked a house depending on what they liked.
They had been handed their first bit of mental privacy they never had, when they chose a house they were given a simple pin to identify with and not a new robe.
It was weird because looking around, they didn't feel like a giant rivalry, was suddenly placed on their heads because everybody was dressed the same.
Each group was taken to the common rooms by the head of house, and they saw people in there.
They were frightened but even Hagrid received a warm welcome despite his size and looks.
"Party, for the new kids!" Said, guy who was natorous for throwing parties for no good reason.
"No alcohol! There are under age people here!" Shouted another guy not opposed to it.
The new people were shocked, where they really throwing a party for them?
However, the head of house gave them their blessing but only to do it at night because it was too early.
When it was lunch, everybody finally saw each other but you could tell the new students apart immediantly because they looked shocked when their house mates set next to other house's.
They stared before they were invited over even Hagrid was invited to sit down with his friends who were both from another house and the hall seemed to freeze when Ziggy went into the hall with his group of charming and attractive people who treated people way better than Tom Riddel and his group ever did especially towards the House elves who provided food for them, it was quiet the sight to see for the people who were used to seeing those who had house elves treat them like trash.
They truly embodied the title of elite.
Everyone of them was such a joy to watch and the staff at the table not only looked competent but they were well groomed and approachable.
And than they focused on the food and we're shocked to see fruit on the table, they were shocked because they couldnt remember ever seeing fruit on Hogwarts table at lunch time.
Dinner?
Yes.
Lunch?
No.
They saw all sorts of breads, sandwiches, and the only thing that they would expect at Hogwarts was seeing cake and even that was a low fat delicious cake.
For the first time, they were bursting with energy after lunch and it wasn't because they stuffed their pockets with sweets to get them through to dinner time.
The new students were taken to see the class that they had discussed about enroll in
Hadgrid was taken to the studies on magical creatures and had quiet the reaction to seeing an enclosure that had creatures that were used to human interaction so students were allowed to pet them.
The creatures especially liked him and he hit it off with a spider that was going to grow to be gigantic immediately.
He was told that he could keep the spider since it was still a baby but he had to release it when it grew too big, however he could still visit it in its adulthood which he was more than happy to agree to and called it Aragog.
He was also asked if he ever thought of having a career with magical creatures when the adults saw how good he was with them that got him thinking of his future, he thought he had none just a month ago.
Some other students were lucky to be taken to a class where Ziggy was in there and Defence against the dark arts was so much better than Hogwarts version.
Ziggy used wordless magic to defeat his opponent, which worked just fine for him and he amazed the new students.
But it wasn't just defence he excelled at, in every class he was in, he was nothing short of amazing as if he had memorised hundreds of textbooks and other things into his mind.
You could call him a prodigy not seen in a thousand years.
Walking around the castle, the former hogwarts students found that there was no screeching portriates or ghosts who never bothered fo leave around.
They had never been so thankful for the pleasant silence.
Dinner rolled around and the food looked amazing, they didn't need energy for the day at this time so they could go all out, not just wizard food was placed on the table but also muggle food as well.
The school wanted to broaden their taste buds and some ended up liking what a normal person would have.
And then it was time to party to give the new students a warm welcome, even Ziggy attended for a bit to say hi, take a butter bear and leave, he went to his own room and activated the charm he needed to keep the noise out.
He read a book before turning the lights off by a lamp.
That same night, night owls were sent out to the families of some transfer students about how welcoming the first day was for them and many told them what they did in the day time.
Hagrid was especially forth coming about his new friends, his new pet spider, the party that was thrown for him to welcome him to the school and how the school was accommodating, for somebody of his size without making him feel out of place.
He was given a seat at the back so he didn't block anybody's view and his stool and desk were magical spelled to be appropriate for somebody his size and not to mention his school supplies, it was a breath of fresh air to have a pencil or a quill not snap on him due to his strength or he had to angle his hands a certain way just to see what he was writing.
And than the teacher just shrunk his paper down when collecting his, not making a big deal out of it at all.
Even the desk he was writing the letter on could be easily adjusted to his size and his bed was magicalled spelled to make sure he had a good sleep no matter what size, without taking up space from his roommates.
He noted in his letter that Hogwarts had never gone so far to accommodate him.
And to say his parents were shocked by his letter and the respect they could see that the school gave to a student with creatures blood, would be an understatment.
The school had given him simple solutions that Hogwarts could have easily implanted to make him feel comfortable but no teacher raised a finger in Hogwarts despite him clearly struggling because of his strength and size, to add insult to injury the comments the teachers left were always about his handwritting and ability to be quiet in class due to him constantly having to try and make himself comfortable on that tiny stool.
The end result was not great grades.
If he went to the libary to take out a book would the school give him an enlarged version of the book he wanted, as well?
What about a bigger and stronger practice broom?
His parents couldn't help but be amazed by how far the school was going to make sure he was comfortable.
They ended up showing the letter to other creature's who planned to send their own half blood children to hogwarts next year, the end result was each parent having to pause and re-read Hagrid letter several times.
Hagrid had shocked them and many creatures wanted to know if Hagrid sent anymore letters in the future about how the new school was accommodating him.
The half giant didn't knew that he had become the deciding factor for creature parents who wanted to know which school was better to send their children to because he was going through both.
He has no way of knowing when he was fast asleep.
In the morning, a proper day of school had begun and Ziggy could just see the new students on edge in the morning.
Maybe they were wondering if the good day they had before, was the honeymoon period and the school would reveal itself to be just like Hogwarts, when they have their guard down.
They kept expecting an insult, a sneer, the jokes that weren't really jokes to reveal its head.
But apart, from a few tame practical jokes that didn't hurt anybody and even the person themselves had a good laugh, nothing like that happened.
There was nothing.
The transfers couldn't help but feel that the school should have opened sooner.
Royal Lakewood Magical Academy was the school they deserved to have had from the start.
And scene!
I decided to change the next of the new school a bit and will clean it up when on Fanfiction. Next chapter, it's the Summer Holidays and Hogwarts has no idea that those who transferred to the other school are telling their families how much better it is at their new school compared to Hogwarts. To add insult to injury those who have graduated from Hogwarts are begging Lakwood to allow them into their adult program because they aren't getting jobs in the magical or muggle world. But Hogwarts does feel it when a lot of first years never show up on their first day of school and even some students that should have returned go missing. Review/ fav and follow!
