A/N: I know Lelouch is a little OOC, but he's still a kid. It's going a bit fast, but I can't be specific because we lost our book. So, enjoy.

Chapter 4 Restricted

Lelouch passed by a game of Wizard's chess between Ron and Harry. Ron clearly had the upper hand. Ron had only lost two bishops, a knight, and a couple of pawns, but Harry only had two knights, a bishop, a pawn, and two rooks. Intrigued and wanting a challenge, Lelouch decided to join.

"Can I?" Lelouch asked Harry.

"Uh, sure, but I doubt you'll win." Harry said dubiously.

"Lelouch is excellent at chess, I think he can win." Suzaku said.

"Want to bet then?" Ron asked.

Suzaku replied, "What'll it be then?"

"Do the other person's homework for a week." Ron replied. Suzaku shook hands on it.

"Ready?" Lelouch began.

"Your move." Ron said, moving his queen to a check.

Lelouch countered by moving his king. Surprised, Ron moved his queen after it. Lelouch moved his king again, closer to his pawn. Ron's queen moved after it. Lelouch annihilated his queen with a pawn. A couple of moves later…

"Checkmate." Lelouch said.

Flabbergasted, Ron could only mutter," Must've cheated."

Suzaku spoke up, "Here's my essay on the reversible process of transfiguration." Suzaku handed his paper to Ron. Ron almost began to cry. He got up.

"Hermioneeeeeeeeee, heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelp!" He yelled.

Break

The Gryffindors arrived at Snape's dungeon.

"Welcome class, today we will be making a Memory Potion. Begin." Snape said.

Lelouch and Suzaku pulled out their potions book. They took out some Jobberknoll feathers, wolfsbane, and leech blood. They began stirring and boiling when they heard an argument.

"Lloyd, you're supposed to add flobberworm mucus, not powdered moonstone!" Snape yelled.

"Trust me professor, it will work well," Lloyd replied adding the moonstone.

"Stop. I'm the professor, not you, so give me the moonstone and we'll finish making the next batch of Veritaserum." Snape demanded.

"Oops." Lloyd said dropping in the powdered moonstone.

"Finish what you've started." Snape said angrily, but then thought. "How about you try it when it's done, okay Mr. Asplund."

"Whatever, it's going to be a better Veritaserum than you've ever made. Just wonderful." Lloyd complemented himself.

Lelouch went back to making his potion with Suzaku and tuned everyone else out. Snape checked everyone's potion only grunting when he came around to theirs. Class got over and Lelouch left to go to the common room.

"Uh, Lelouch, we have Defense against the Dark Arts class right now." Suzaku said.

"That class is useless. He expects us to admire him. I'm going to the common room." Lelouch replied.

"See you around then." Suzaku said.

C2 followed Lelouch to the common room.

"What an irrelevant class." Lelouch told C2. "That teacher is useless."

C2 just sat there eating some pizza from who knows where. Lelouch decided to read the Standard Book of Spells Grades One to Three. He committed each to memory practicing each one, not wanting to learn them later. He was supposed to go to History of Magic next, but skipped that too. Lelouch saw a pair of twins walk in. He recognized them as Ron's brothers.

"What are you doing?" One asked.

"You're out of class." The other said.

"I don't care." Lelouch replied.

"A rebellious one here Gred." Feorge told.

"You're right Feorge, we should turn him in."

"Nah, he's a good one."

"What to do with him then?"

"Hey Lulu, here's a cream. Thought you'd be hungry." Feorge said giving him a banana cream.

Lelouch took it suspiciously. He set it down next to him. The twins left. Lelouch then got an evil idea. Dinner came much too early for Lelouch. He had only finished the Standard Book of Spells Grade Four. He walked down to dinner with C2 and the others. Dinner began and people started questioning him.

"Lelouch why weren't you in class?" Hermione asked.

"Those classes are useless; I thought studying something else would be more practical." Lelouch replied.

"But you still have to go." Hermione pleaded.

Just then, one of the twins, Fred probably, started turning into a giant canary. Lelouch smirked. Everyone started busting out laughing.

"Caught by your own prank huh?" Lelouch said.

"You pulled that prank?" Ron asked

Lelouch merely nodded.

"That was brilliant!" Ron replied.

Everyone congratulated him. Lelouch was thankful everyone had forgotten about his absences from class.

Break

Early Saturday morning, Lelouch woke up to the sound of Harry being woken up. Lelouch heard some mumbling about Quikkidech. Lelouch got up and walked into the commons and began reading. He saw Harry being dragged out. Harry mouthed the word HELP. Lelouch ignored him and kept reading.

Later, he heard masses of people talking about Quikkidech, migrating to the stadium. Suzaku, Nunally, and C2 approached him.

"We're going to the library, brother. Do you want to come?" Nunally asked.

"Sure." Lelouch replied, finally getting an excuse for not going to Quikkidech, which everyone had pestered him about.

The four walked to the library. The halls were desolate. Apparently Quikkidech was popular. They walked in. The library was not quite desolate. Some Ravenclaws were in there too. The other three wandered around looking for books. Suzaku was helping Nunally, for that, Lelouch was grateful. He went up to the librarian, Madam Pince.

"Excuse me, I'm looking for a book." Lelouch asked.

"What is it?" Madam Pince said, putting her book down.

"Lelouch vi Britannia commands you to give me access to the restricted section of the library always." He commanded her.

She complied easily. The librarian handed over the key to him and gave him a fail safe note. He took them and walked over to the doors of the restricted section. He opened them up with the key. No traps or alarms, good so far, Lelouch thought. He scanned the books. Lelouch carefully walked in and began looking around. He then found what he was looking for, The Animagi for the Beginner, Volumes 1-5. He picked up the set and put them in his bag, which happened to have an Undetectable Extension Charm used on it. He looked around for some other books. He grabbed advanced Potion books, Arithmancy books, and very advanced Charm books. He walked out of the restricted section and locked it up. He found the others.

"Hey Nunally, what did you decide on?" Lelouch asked.

"I got a book on the Care of Magical Creatures. Suzaku wants to read it too, so he'll read it aloud to me." Nunally replied.

C2 came up with a Potions book.

"I am a witch after all." She stated.

The group walked out of the library and down to the common room again.

"So guys, I found this really cool book." Lelouch said.

"Oh?" Nunally pondered.

"Do you remember how McGonagall can turn into a cat?" Lelouch questioned.

"Yeah." Suzaku said.

"Well, I found a book that will teach us how to do the same thing, so I thought it would be cool if we could all do it together." Lelouch replied.

"Sure." Nunally said. "But isn't that illegal."

"Only if we don't register. We can register when we've completed okay?" Lelouch lied.

"I'm in." Suzaku said, excited.

"Okay." C2 said.

"Now here's what we do…"
