Chapter 3 The Start of Classes
Suzaku and Lelouch woke up after a short time. It was 6 am, but they still got up. The others were still soundly asleep.
"They are fools for idolizing mischievous behavior." Lelouch stated. "That'll get them in trouble in the future."
"Yeah, but they're boys." Suzaku said.
"And we're not?" Lelouch questioned.
"We're just more mature." Suzaku replied, and with that, the two got dressed, grabbed their textbooks and parchment, and went into the Gryffindor common room. They studied until 7:30, when they went to breakfast. After their other roommates came along with Hermione, C2, and Nunally, the mail came in. Hermione was still angry at Harry and Ron. Suzaku could hardly tell why. The mail came fluttering down. Lelouch's owl, Knight, came by with a letter, and landed on his arm. Lelouch opened the letter
Dear Lelouch and Co.,
I would like to see you in my office immediately for instruction and class schedules.
Sincerely, Albus Percival Wolfric Brian Dumbledore
P.S. Meet at the Gargoyle, the password is 'fruitcake'.
Lelouch said nothing, but passed it to Suzaku. Suzaku read it and handed it to C2. C2 looked at it and whispered what it said to Nunally. Simultaneously, the four got up just as Ron's letter began to smoke. They didn't see what happened, but they heard some very harsh words. They walked for awhile until they found a large gargoyle.
"Fruitcake," Nunally said. The gargoyle hopped to the side, much to Suzaku's surprise. The group of four walked in.
"Hello Lelouch, Suzaku, Nunally, and C2. Come in." Dumbledore said. The four finished getting into the room and saw Dumbledore with his phoenix, Fawkes.
"So, how did yesterday go for you?" He asked.
"Okay, I am still surprised at what magic can do, but now I'm starting to believe more." Suzaku said.
"Good, now I know you three did not have any first year instruction, but I know you can be brought up to speed. Here are you class schedules and now get to class. Thank you." Dumbledore said.
Great, a senile old man heading the school, Lelouch thought, getting to class. They, without Nunally who went to Charms, walked to the greenhouses. The group saw the guy from Flourish and Blotts. They diverted away from his path at all costs, even if it meant going into some bushes, which they had to do. They got into class just in time.
"Hello class, our Teacher's Aide this year is Li Xingke." Xingke bowed. "He will help you with potting the Mandrakes today. Does anyone know what Mandrakes are for?" Sprouts asked.
Hermione's hand went up, right after Lelouch's.
"Yes," she said pointing to Lelouch, with Hermione clearly offended.
"Mandrakes can be used to restore a petrified or transfigured person back into their original state." Lelouch explained.
"Right on the dot. Now, we are going to replant these Mandrakes, their cries could kill you without the proper protection. Put your headgear on." Sprout explained.
The class placed their headgear on and began planting. As soon as the Mandrakes got pulled out, they began screaming. Luckily only one person collapsed. Lelouch rolled his eyes and replanted his Mandrake. He then left class with C2 and Suzaku. They walked over to Transfigurations.
"What a waste." Lelouch said.
"Who knows what it's worth. It might be handy in the future." Suzaku countered.
"Hmph." Lelouch eloquently replied.
The three walked in to class. They were followed a couple of minutes later by the rest of second year Gryffindors.
"Welcome class to Transfigurations. Let's start with turning a transfigured pencil back into a worm. The spell is homorpheous. Begin." McGonagall demonstrated.
Lelouch took out his wand, said the spell, and it transfigured back. He put his wand down and picked his book up. Hermione and the others were astounded. One view of her spell, and he had picked it up instantly.
"What? How?" Ron asked/ stuttered.
"He's just insanely smart, and a master strategist." Suzaku said, covering Lelouch.
McGonagall looked over after bickering with her new TA, Rakshata Chawla, about how lazy she was.
"Mr. Lamperouge, are you finished already?" She questioned.
"Yes miss." Lelouch responded.
McGonagall just stood there, but left Lelouch alone knowing that he had catching up to do. He could easily beat Hermione in a few weeks, McGonagall thought.
The rest of the class finally finished their work. McGonagall assigned her homework, much to Harry and Ron's despair.
"Blimey, homework already." Ron moaned.
"I finished already." Lelouch complained.
"How?" Ron countered.
"It was easy. I knew what we were doing today, and I predicted easily what in the textbook it corresponded with. From there, I just did the problems that followed."
Everyone, except C2 of course, had their mouths wide open. They walked over to their Defense against the Dark Arts class, but just before, a shrimpy boy came over to Harry.
"Hi, I'm Colin Creevy, could sign a picture for me?" He said shyly. He continued to babble on and on. Lelouch and Suzaku just decided to tune them out and walk into class. The teacher was gone, so the two relaxed. They heard quarreling in the corridor, but ignored it. C2 appeared with some pizza. The two looked at her like she was weird, which she was. After a couple of minutes, the rest of the class walked in along with the teacher. Hermione, Ron, and Harry sat next to them.
"Okay students, we'll begin with a pop quiz." Lockhart said joyfully.
The students moaned…. loudly. Lockhart began the quiz, but Lelouch zoned out. After the quiz, Lockhart let loose some pixies for their assignment. Everyone was screaming and trying to get away, even Professor Lockhart just jumped into his office. While everyone was screaming and looking away, Lelouch just looked up. Some started to dive towards him.
"I, Lelouch vi Britannia, command you, obey me!" he commanded.
The Geass Sigil left his eye and entered into theirs. The pixies stopped where they were.
"Now, restore everything to as it was a few moments ago, and then return to your cages."
The pixies followed his order with robotic movements. They fixed everything up quickly, they then hopped in their cage, and Hermione sealed it. Lelouch then walked out. When he got back to the common room, he saw Nunally.
"Hey Nunally." He said.
"Hi brother. How was you day?" She asked.
"Good, how about yours?" He responded.
"Good, Potions wasn't very nice, but I know Professor Snape has a good heart. Sadly, I couldn't get Professor Snape to stop arguing with his TA, Lloyd Asplund." She answered.
"Hm, I think I have Potions tomorrow. I'll try and help." Lelouch said smiling.
"Thank you, big brother." Nunally replied. Lelouch then lead Nunally to the Great Hall for dinner.
