A/N: So yeah another chapter done. It really took me a while but I had some really annoying stuff to do for university. And all those other things an author normally has. I enjoyed reading your reviews and would like to keep getting some. They were one of the reasons I kept on trying to write. - Ray -

VI. The chaotic start of school

Cassian waited in the foyer for the ever late coming Draco. Draco wanted to look perfect, especially since he was a new vampire who was just recently turned. The turning was not planned and the clan which the offender belonged to had helped Draco in everything. He now knew all the ceremonial stuff a vampire needed to know and even the languages. Well the languages most of them spoke. Cassian could now speak some too. He had started with the language of the elves, then the vampires, the werewolves and the goblins and many was the final day of their preparations. They wanted to go to Diagon Alley ang get the money Cassian's parents had placed ther for him and afterwards they wanted to go shopping in the Realm of the Elves. But if Draco wouldn't come soon they would be late for shopping and Draco himself had told him to be on time. Cassian asked himself if every person of pureblood heritage and parentage was this fixated on their outer appearance. Just then Draco came from the shadows behind him wanting to surprise Cassian but Cassian was prepared and would never be surprised by Dracos shadow walking.

"So are you finally ready? Or do I have to wait all day?" Cassian mock asked him. Draco pouted and walked out of the door, inviting Cassian silently to follow him.

The goblins were really helpful this time. As they saw who Cassian was and that he could speak their tongue they did everything he wanted and showed him his possibilities and all the things he owned as well as what things were sponsored by him and his family. Most of the money which was spent for charity went to Hogwarts but as Cassian asked for what purpose he almost went there to kill Dumbledor himself. But only almost because cutting the money flow was more effective than just killing him. If he cut the money Dumbledor would know that he was alive and free to do what he wanted or he would conclude that his Golden Boy was now sponsoring the Dark Side. It didn't matter because he would go to a different school from tomorrow on and that for the next three years. And after he graduates he planned to shock the wizarding world and show them that there are elve, vampire and werewolf communities that were more modern and effective and open for new things than theirs. Then they would need to change their view of the world to equality among every magical thing in the magical world. Then they would need to pay the house elfs money for the work. How Hermoine would react if she knew what he had planned. But as of now she would think him gone missing or cooperating with the Dark Side.

Walking out of Gringotts through the portal which was connected to the other Realm they were ready to go shopping for the upcoming school year. First off Draco wanted to go looking for the protection clothing they would need for the battle class. Ventus told Cassian that they should go to Lians Battle Neccesities and tell Lian who they were and that they would attend Baquette. Entering the small and old looking shop they were greeted by an open room and light brightening up only the central platform. On the walls were many different suits of armor from many different countries and races. Draco went as if being called to the center, Cassian walked along the walls and inspected the suits of armor. It fascinated him that some were of really robust looking material and some weren't but he knew that those which looked fragile were most of the times more effective than the robust looking ones. The moment Draco reached the middle of the room all the light went out and a small something came into sight. It was illuminated by a red light and flowed just above the ground towards Draco who couldn't move.

"Who are you?" asked the being.

"This is my friend Draco you have trapped there and I am Cassian Jeron Sebald Lythem the heir of the house of Lythem as well as the next king of the Royal Dark Elfs. We were told to visit your shop when we want to buy our suits of armor for battle class. Ventus said you were the best. Are you the best?" Cassian asked mockingly in the language of the being. He figured out that it was an elemental fire and seemed to be a qualified craftsmen seeing all the suits of armor hanging on the walls. The elemental looked a little bit shocked at hearing someone speaking in his language and looking even suspicious at Cassian at hearing that Cassian was the new prince of the elves.

"So you say. But why are thou highness walking around with a vampire and calling him a friend? Shouldn't you be walking around with your guardians or the palace guards?"

"Time changes Lian. I can guard myself and Draco is my friend. It does not matter which race he belongs to. If we both, you Lian and me would get along I would call you my friend too. Especially when I could trust you with my life as I can with Draco. Lian was now floating towards Cassian to look him up. Cassian let him do as he wished.

"You are wise in your young age. You want to learn, but you don't want to be told everything. You build your own decisions. I will make you two your suits of armor." Lian said and let Draco free. He floated to the back of the room while telling them to follow. When they both finally arrived where Lian already waited he gave them a look which asked who wanted to go first. Draco gulped and made the decision to be first. Lian moved him to a marked spot. The mark was on the floor. Then a dark almost black curtain drew around Draco and let him vanish behind it.

"He'll need his privacy but also a translator. I do not talk any other languages. Most of my customers bring one themselves, but seeing as you can understand me you will be his and mine translator." That said he vanished also behind the curtain and left him standing there alone.

"Cassian? What is he doing?" asked a slightly panicked Draco.

"Well as he can't understand you and you can't understand him I was made your official translator. When he talks I will translate for you, then you have to answer me and I will translate for him. When you feel that he is doing something he shouldn't just tell and I tell him. And don't forget you're a wizard and a vampire, so don't sound so panicked."

After a long twenty minute wait where he had to translate a lot Draco was free to wait in the shop or outside the shop and Cassian was to be fitted. As Lian took his measurements Cassian asked himself why Draco was so afraid of Lian. Okay not everywhere would someone take the measurements of your pecker for a suit of armor but hey he had no problem with it.

After a long day of shopping they finally stood, packed with many bags which were shrunk and put away in the bag he was given from Ventus, in front of the last shop they needed to visit. The shop looked old and small, but they had learned to not underestimate builings which looked small and old. Those buildings usually were inside really wide and open. The last thing left on their list was a weapon which they wanted to learn to fight with or to advance further. Cassian was curious, he hadn't thought that they would learn how to fight in a school. But as he didn't even knew the conditions in the school, he could only guess that Draco and he needed to learn how to fight even befor they started. Even if it was only a small move or how to know when and where somebody would attack.

Cassian was about to just choose the first weapon he recognized as one, but before he could even touch it a hand grabbed his arm and turned him around. He was forced to stare into white eyes.

"No one touches one of my weapon without me aiding in the search of the weapon. Is that understood?" asked the white eyed man, who looked, now that Cassian could see the man fully, muscular and strong. But not like a bodybuilder looked like. The man had an aura about him, but Cassian couldn't tell what it was. He moved his head in a positiv way, showing the man he understood.

"Now, I am the shopkeeper. I can sense that neither of you had fought with a weapon before. Well in a way that is fighting with a weapon and not just swinging around or poking into the right places. In my shop the weapons chooses you and not the other way. Both of you need to sit down in the middle of the room if you want to obtain a weapon." They both did as they were told. This man had something that made him a perfect leader of a military group. No one would go against him.

When they left the shop with their weapons they both had to wonder about the shopkeeper. Cassian had obtained a blade which wasn't a normal blade. No it could be made into two smaller blades with a trick. The metal was black and the hilt, too. An emerald stone, of which material the shopkeeper couldn't tell them. It was an unknown material in all realms. Draco got something entirely different. He was drawn to the silver claws which were unbreakable and poisonis. Just one small scratch and one could die. Now they had everything they needed. Draco hoped that one of the elves could show them one or two moves and some defending stuff. Because the shopkeeper had told them that the students of the school they would attend were known to attack each other to see who was thestrongest. It even occured that some students died because of a fight. But usually the one who killed was suspended from the school.

Standing in the Entrancehall of the new school Cassian only could stare around himself. There were so many different species which looked all quiet alien or like something out of a comic or movie. Draco was not standing beside him. Another vampire had called him and Draco was supposed to be close to his clan people. Once everybody was quiet the headmistress hovered in the air so that everybody could see her. She was keeping herself in the air with her wings. The wings were of leather or so. And if he saw right he could see a tail behind her. Just like a demon would have.

"Welcome to Banquest. You all will be attending this school for the next years. Some longer and some not so before I start a grand speach I will let you find your rooms. The lists with your names and rooms can you find by the teachers of your race who are standing infront of the entrance to mess. Then after everybody found his rooms you'll have time to go look around the school. I will see you all at dinner tonight were I will be giving my grand speach. Just don't get lost. All the other students will be coming next week. First years always have a week start ahead of the others."

And so she flew off and all the students started to go to their instruction teacher to figure out their rooms and to leave the hall. Cassian was almost the only other elf attending as a first year at the school. Only two twins and another female were there. He was recognized by the teacher and had a short nice talk in which he was invited to some extra tutoring. As the teacher knew he needed some help in fighting. He was supposed to be the super elite of the elves. An idol of some kind and he would have to prove his worthness to the school and the other realm.

And so the chaotic school year started with him trying to find his room in this big labyrinth like school.
