Chapter 4 Off to school

Well Hunter was at the train station. Showgrid dropped him off telling him to go to platform 9 and a half to get on the train for Ringwarts. One problem Hunter thought right away. No one heard of such thing… so… where can he find it? He looked around the train station seeing if something would appear, he felt like an idiot for pushing around a huge trunk of clothing, a box with a wand in it and hiding a messenger dragon under some of his clothing. He was glad he fed it before he packed everything up. He was about to give up when he saw a woman walking with three guys just about Hunter's age. "Come on or else you'll miss the train!" she called to them. They all had blonde hair like their mother. Hunter followed them and they stopped at a platform there was a wall.

"Ok Adam you go first" she said.

"I'm not Adam! I'm Jason!" scolded the older one.

"I am not falling for that, or did you forget Jason cut his hair!" the mother shot back.

"HAHA! Loser" laughed another.

"Shut up man!" As the first boy went through, his brother followed.

Hunter quickly ran up to them. "Excuse me… is this where I go to get to Ringwarts?" he asked the woman. The woman was young. She smiled back at him.

"Why you just go right through the wall there as if it wasn't there. This is Chris' first time too. Show him how to do it Chris," the woman explained. Chris got before the wall; he took a running start and then vanished like his brothers before him.

"Whoa." Hunter whispered.

"It's helps when you have a running start. Don't worry you won't hit the wall. Give it a go," she explained. Hunter stood before the wall with his cart; he took a deep breath and ran right to the wall. He closed his eyes but quickly opened them… seeing he was on an old fashion deck and before him was a red and blue train. A conductor took his things for him and placed them on Hunter got onto the train and found a section all to himself. He didn't mind it though. He sat there alone for a while till there was a slight knock on the door. He turned and saw the blonde haired kids from earlier.

"Hey… is it ok if I sit here? Everywhere else is full," he asked.

"Knock yourself out" Hunter replied. The young blonde sat across from him.

"I'm Chris Jericsley," he explained.

"Hunter… Hunter Hurst Harry Potter" Hunter replied, Chris was stunned.

"THEE Hunter Potter? Wow" The train started moving; they were on their way to Ringwarts. Chris told Hunter about himself and his family. He came from a large one at that. He got his name after his father Chris Benoit Jericsley. His brothers were twins Jason and Adam. At School they were known as Edge and Christian for it was their battle names in sports. A woman came by with a cart of food and such.

"You want anything off of the cart?" she asked. Chris reluctantly held up a bag of treats that weren't too appealing. Hunter however smiled and pulled out his pouch.

"We'll take the whole cart!" he grinned. The food just piled into their seats. Jelly beans, candy of all sorts. Hunter tried the Jellybeans first.

"Oh be careful with those! Those have every flavor!" Chris warned. Hunter took one and pops it into his mouth.

"Mmmm I got chocolate fudge!" he grinned.

Chris sighed. "Oh you were lucky on that one. I know a kid who knew this girl who had a brother who ate one and he got the most God awful flavor!" Chris stated. Hunter looked at him oddly as if asking what it was. "It tasted like someone peed in his mouth!"

"EW!" Hunter squealed. Just then there was another knock at the door, they turned to see a young girl standing before them.

"So… this is where the food went," she stated matter of factly. "I'm Stephoine," she explained.

"I'm Chris…."

"I know who you are" Stephoine replied. "You're a Jericsley. Your brothers right now are trying to get people to take five second poses of them" she shot back, she turned to Hunter.

"I'm Hunter Potter" he replied.

"Is that your full name?" she questioned him.

Hunter rolled his eyes. "You know how annoy it is to keep saying my full name over and over again?" he shot back. "Why not call me something like Triple H?" he questioned. Chris smirked.

"Yeah as if that would catch on!" Chris laughed. Stephoine noticed Hunter's glasses were broken. She pulled out her wand and pointed them right at the frame.

"Mend able visual" she spoke and instantly his glasses were fixed! Hunter took his glasses off and was amazed to see how well she fixed the frame! "I hope you 2 are brushing up on some of your skills, and I suggest you change into your robes, we're almost there" she said and left. Chris had a goofy look on his face mouthing off the words she said in a sarcastic tone. Hunter smirked but took her advice on putting on the robe. Not the studying. The train came to a full stop in twenty minutes; the others unloaded from the train and took in their surroundings.

"ALL NEW STUDENT PLEASE COME OVER TO ME!" Showgrid was there! Hunter smiled as the other kids stood in utter shock of this man's size.

"Hi Showgrid" Hunter grinned.

"Why hello Hunter, found the platform ok?" Showgrid asked.

Hunter smirked. "No thanks to you!" Showgrid was rather hurt but let it slide; he knew he was no good with directions anyway. Showgrid led all the new students to boats that took them to a HUGE castle. Chris was in aw of it.

"I have heard all about Ringwarts. But never have I seen it!" he whispered to Hunter. When they arrived they were taken through a few hallways till they were led up the stairs by one of the older teachers. She went by Lindala. She turned to the students.

"You will be asked to come in shortly, but for now I suggest you all wait here till I come back," she stated. She went into the room for the final preparations. One of the students turned and sneered at Hunter.

"So it's true!" he hissed. "Hunter Potter has come to Ringwarts" whispers began about Hunter. The young man stuck out his hand. "I'm Rando Malcoy, I can get you places I assure you and I can tell you who is worth keeping as a friend here" he grinned. Hunter looked at his hand and smirked.

"I'm capable of knowing myself jackass" he shot back. Rando was rather shocked. As were his buddies. They were about to exchange words when the door opened. Inside were rows apone rows of other students and before them were teachers. The one who sat in the middle was the most dominating of them all. Dressed only in black and not even smiling to the new students, the man beside him was no better. Dressed in a red shirt and black pants. Hunter took in the sights of the room before his teachers. Before them was a chair with a large golden belt on it. Lindala stood before the students.

"This is the sorting belt, you will be sorted into different sections of the school. There are four. Griffengree, Creampuff, Sclayarse, and Camelclaw." The sorting began. One by one the students placed the belts on from around their waist. Chris went to Griffengree just as his brothers before him, Same with Stephoine. Rando was sent to Scaleyarse before the belt was even placed around his waist. His friends Batista and Ric were also sent to Scaleyarse as well. Hunter was next when his name called out many were whispering, the head master Taker Darcodorf seemed more focus than usual. The belt was placed around his waist. Much to Hunter's shock it started to talk to him.

"Hmm you could be good at Scaleyarse you know. Such talent in you they can help you…"

"Look I don't want to go to a place called Scaleyarse. Too many insults there I could make fun of!" Hunter whispered.

"Well then… I see great courage in you…"

"Damn right you do" Hunter shot back.

"I say he goes in…. Griffengree!" the belt announced. The whole Griffengree house stood on its feet cheering. The headmaster Taker Darcodorf nodded his approval to the selection. The Griffengree group began to chant.

"We got Potter! We got Potter!" much to the dismay if the other three. Hunter sat down and watched the rest of the sorting, when everyone was in place the room quickly quit down for the headmaster stood before the students.

"I welcome you all to Ringwarts" he said in a deep voice, everyone paid attention to this guy. Hunter saw their looks. They all respected him. "I need to set some ground rules. No going into the forest, you do I ain't going out to get you. Two no going to the basement unless you wish to die a horrible, horrible death. You die a horrible death I am not going to be explaining to your parents you were all being a bunch of dumbaes when I warned you in the first place!" he said sternly. Hunter thought what would they be keeping in a basement that could kill them? "Third to all new year students, you are not to be wondering the halls at night. We have a belt for the best house at the end of the year. You will earn points for this belt; the house with the most points will win. For the past ten years Scaleyarse has had his belt. Perhaps we might have a change in venue this time around. But as of this moment, I invite everyone to eat. Your headmasters will take you to your room after" with the Taker Darcodorf sat down. Hunter was really impressed by this guy's power. But he was more impressed by the food around him. Chris' brothers Jason and Adam were fooling around till one of the older guys glared at them. Instantly they stopped. Hunter saw this.

"Who's the guy glaring at your brothers?" Hunter whispered to Chris.

"Oh, that's Kane. He the head of the Fidgety team" he explained.

"What the hell is Fidgety?" Hunter demanded.

Stephoine stepped up to the plate on this. "It's a Wizard's game, I will tell you more about it after supper" she replied.

"Great, just great" Hunter though sarcastically. When the meal was over Kane stood from the table and led everyone to where they would be sleeping. He stood before the mass… and man, could he! He was very tall and dominating looking.

"Hello everyone" he called, everyone was still chatting. "People…." he tried again. Still no one listened. "SHUT UP!" he roared. Everyone stopped and looked at him. "Thanks. Welcome to Griffengree. I know our name isn't the best but hell it's better than Creampuff and Scaleyarse no?" he asked everyone. They laughed. "Ok now I will be taking you to your rooms. I warn you it's a tricky process, but you'll get use to it," He explained. Kane led everyone out of the room and to a large flight of stairs. Hunter saw all the stairs and wasn't impressed.

"This is suppose to be a problem?" he whispered. But when he started to see the stair move in different ways and directions, he grew concerned. Kane took out his wand.

"Personally I hate these stairs." He pointed his wand to the stairs. "Fixed places!" he called out, and the stairs shifted back to where they were. "Now this will lead you directly to Griffengress' quarters. The group began to walk up the stairs however the starts started to shift again. Kane looked down and saw the headmaster of Scaleyarse break his spell, Kane's eyes glared at the leader of Scaleyarse. He turned to the others for a moment. "Excuse me" he pulled out his wand and pointed off to the side. "Inferno bada" he chanted. A fireball left his wand and bounced all over the place till it came flying down to the leader of Scaleyarse. His butt caught fire and he ran around screaming. Kane was laughing of course. As were the others of Griffengree, Kane fixed the stairs so they could get to the rooms.

"Who was he?" Hunter asked. Kane turned to face him.

"That was the head of the Scaleyarse house. Albert. He's not scaly by any means. More like hairy. He belonged in Creampuff," he explained. Hunter smirked. They arrived to a large painting of over weight woman.

"Password" she asked. Hunter was stunned it was talking. Kane smirked.

"That Damn bad" he replied and the painting opened to a large room. Kane let everyone go in first. He went in last.
