After a few more questions from Gwaine, Arthur decided to intervene. "Remus, Dumbledore said that, as administrators, we are able to attend classes. What kind of classes do they have here?"
"Ah yes, well, there are many different kinds. Charms, Defense against the dark arts, Transfiguration, Potions, Divination, Flying, Astronomy, Ancient runes, Care of magical creatures, and many others." Remus listed.
"Wow, which do you teach?" Gwaine asked.
"Defense against the Dark Arts" Remus replied.
"Tell us about these subjects." Percival pushed.
"Well, Charms is just about spells used to accomplish tasks such as cleaning a house, or cooking a meal. It is sometimes fun to watch young wizards learn new charms, some go horribly wrong." Remus chuckled. "Potions Class is just mixing of strange ingredients to make medicine or poisons, not far off from what you do Gaius. I never got the hang of potions." Remus said absently and Gaius smiled. "Flying is self explanatory; you should go to at least one Quidditch game while you are here."
"Quidditch?" Gwen asked.
"Yes, it's one of our most famous sports. Two teams of seven players fly around and score goals. There are three chasers, the ones who score goals, two beaters, the ones who try to knock out the competition, one keeper, someone who keeps their goals safe, and a seeker, the one who ultimately wins the game if he/she catches a small golden ball." Remus explained.
"Wow, sounds fun." Gwaine smiled.
"It is quite enjoyable. Now, Defense is learning about dark creatures and how to deal with them, also dealing with dark spells and how to duel properly. Ancient runes is learning a new language, it probably won't do you any good since ancient runes are slightly after your time. And divination is probably the most boring subject, telling the future."
Merlin perked up at that, "Like the crystal cave?"
"Crystal cave?" Remus asked.
"The crystal cave is a place filled with crystals where sorcerers would go to learn the future. It is kind of a painful process." Merlin said.
"I guess it is like that, however, telling the future now is not at all painful and very few people have the gift." Remus assured.
"Who teaches these subjects and what are they like?" Lancelot asked.
"Professor McGonagall teaches Transfiguration, she is very strict and probably won't hesitate to throw you out if you are disrupting her class. It doesn't matter if you are administrators, she doesn't tolerate disruptions."
They all nodded.
"Hagrid you have already met, he teaches Care for magical creatures. Flitwick is the professor for Charms. He is really short and very amusing. He is kind and not very disciplinary, everyone loves him, and he is most enjoyable company. Our Potions master… leaves something to be desired. Professor Snape is not the best company to have around. He has become more civil now that the war is over, but he can still be rather rude. I suggest you don't spend too much time down in the dungeons with him, he might tire of you." Remus warned.
"Sounds like a charming person." Gwaine smirked.
"Well I know where I'm not going." Gwen scrunched her nose. "I don't care for potions anyway." The others chuckled.
"When can we meet your friends?" Merlin asked, "I would really like to meet them. It sounded like one of your friends is in your government?"
"Yes, Hermione Granger, she was one of my students. A very bright student, and likes equality between all races, both magical and non-magical. Another student of mine is the son of my best friends. Harry is now head Auror, youngest ever. I'm very proud of him. His friend, Ron, is also an Auror. Harry's wife, Ginny, plays professional Quidditch."
"Wow, so when can we meet them? I would love to meet the boy who, as you say, is more powerful than you." Gaius smiled.
Remus blushed again, "I-I'll set up a lunch. I'm sure you'll get along well."
"You think so? Cuz they might get offended meeting some people in our group." Gwaine sent a pointed look at Uther.
"What do you mean by that knight?" Uther growled.
"Oh, nothing really, it's just that you hate magic and make your opinion pretty clear." Gwaine glared back.
"I'll have your head for this!" Uther stood up. "How did you ever become a knight? You have no honor and discipline! When we get back, your title is being revoked!" Uther thundered.
Everyone looked on with shocked faces, but Gwaine was unfazed. "According to the knight's code, you can't take away my title." He said calmly.
"I'm the king; I can do whatever I want."
"No, you can't. The knight's code states that a knight can only get their title stripped from the person who knighted them (I totally made that up but it sounded good so whatevs). I haven't done anything wrong, sure I'm being a bit disrespectful, but you are being just as rude. I see no reason for my title to be taken from me. Arthur chose me himself and knighted me along with my fellow knights sitting here with us."
Uther had nothing to say so Arthur gently pulled him back into his seat, "Please father, we are here and we need to accept the fact that magic is around us. For once I agree with Gwaine, you are being highly disrespectful to Remus." Arthur scolded slightly.
Uther huffed, but remained quiet. "Now then," Arthur looked back at Remus, "We would love to meet your friends, to learn more about this world of yours. Whenever is most convenient for you is fine with us. We aren't going anywhere."
Remus nodded, "I shall call them immediately and have a date set. Since the first day of school is tomorrow, I should go over some rules with you all so no one gets suspicious." Remus spent the next few hours running through a few rules before going to the Owlery to send a few letters.
