Chapter 2

Harry was sitting in his Magical Algebra class. "And so you see," said Professor Logarithm, "we have magic, and we can just point our wands at the book and all of the problems solve themselves. That's all, class is over for the rest of the year. Have fun." The class proceeded to toss their textbooks into the trash, creating quite a commotion as books whizzed through the air. As Harry turned around to try the no-look over-the-shoulder shot, he noticed an unfamiliar face sitting in the back of the class.

"Hermione," he said, turning to his best friend who was sitting next to him, clutching her book in the midst of the mayhem, "when did a horse get into Gryffindor?" Hermione turned around to see a horse sitting at a desk in the back of the classroom, wearing a scarf in the Hogwarts colors and nonchalantly snacking on some hay.

"I'm…I'm not quite sure. Perhaps we can go introduce ourselves after class." After class just happened to be at that exact moment, if you recall, so they walked over immediately. For any nitpickers wondering where Ron was, he was at the front of the classroom lighting a pile of books on fire. The rest of the students stood around him in a circle, cheering.

As he approached the horse, Harry noticed it was like no other horse he had ever seen. His fur was the radiant golden-platinum of the radiant rising sun reflecting off of the radiant crest of radiant waves of the radiant ocean. Double Chrome Rainbow! His mane was a soulful, metal-delicious auburn which spoke of glowing embers you would see in the similarly named Pokémon attack. His eyes flickered, and gazing into their depths Harry could see luminescent specks of sapphire, gold, emerald, amethyst, ruby, onyx, silver, copper, pearl, gold, garnet, platinum, marble, pink sapphire, zinc, gold, yttrium, gold, potassium-sulfate, gold, Au, golt, gold, conglomerate, and potato. Harry gasped a little as he stared at this creature, who was somehow at one time both beauty and beast, for despite all of his exquisiteness, his beauty was almost over-powered by his beastliness. It was a pretty impressive horse.

"He…hello," stammered Hermione, who was also obviously affected by the horse's magnificent appearance. "Welcome to Hogwarts. I'm Hermione Granger and this is Harry Potter. What's your name?"

The horse wasn't able to talk, but he scribbled on a piece of paper with his prehensile tail and handed it to Harry. When Harry saw the note, he let out a small, involuntary gasp. The penmanship was so elegant, every loop and cross a work of beauty…and yet beast. Harry, weak in the knees, collapsed on the ground, surprised by the sudden dampness surrounding his eyes. He wept openly, shortly joined by Hermione. Ron, across the room, could feel it too because of all the bullshit. Being an intuitive cry, as opposed to the real kind, he cried only out of his left eye and right ear, of course. Five minutes later, they managed to look actually read the content of the note.

"Dear Harry Potter and friends. What are you assholes talking about? It's me, Neville. I've been here for a week. How the fuck have you not noticed? I've already won 12,358 points for Gryffindor and 132 for Ravenclaw. Also, given the fact that you won't be able to speak for a couple of minutes, I'm going to peace out. Later, bitches."

When Harry looked up, there was no sign of the equestrian halo-haver. There was, however, a significantly large fire burning in the classroom. Harry decided that a prompt exit was wise, even though, if asked, he wouldn't be able to tell his magic stick from his wand. Dumbass. He and Hermione and Ron and Dean Thomas quickly exited the classroom.

"Why is Neville a horse?" asked Hermione, intelligently. Ish.

"I don't know, but I can't believe you didn't notice before now," replied Dean Thomas. "Especially you Harry, he's still sleeping in our room!"

Meanwhile, Neville, who was eating Honey Bunches of Hay in the great hall (it was still like morningish, so that's okay), thought back to the moment when his life changed forever…
