'hello old bean' - old tongue

chapter 45

I sat near the lions of the pack as we waited for the sorting to finish, looking to the head table seeing the spot for the DADA teacher free, haven't the headmaster found a professor yet I have heard he had been late in finding one some years. But looking to him now he gave nothing away, so the teacher must be running later maybe, I sighed as another child join the blue table.

I tilted my head hearing Ace telling his year mates about the summer spent sailing the sea's with the pack all the things they had seen, Lucifer did spend two days in the Valley the first week of July, walking around with a very dark grin all teeth bared. Everyone stayed out of his way, but I did hear the rumors of how nearly everyone calls him Lord shadow, how he when the city was just a town. A fiend nest opened out in the middle of town and hundreds of fiends poured out, of how a boy of eight took command of the few worriers clans, of how he commanded the shadows around he as he tore through the nest like an demon straight out of the gates taking the most kills that day. How he stayed to help the clean up, heal those who were wounded even called in others to help him out after, those who are old soul, How he all but clamed the Valley as his, how all who lived here back them clamed him as their leader, their protector. the Valley is home to nearly all known reborns each with a manor large enough for all their crews around the border of the pocket dimension the Valley is, it rivals Illusions City in the heart of the dark woods bit that place is more a huge market place few live there.

I looked to the green table spotting the only old soul near the middle with the circle sat around him, He looked bored as his eyes looked to the head table I saw them narrow, I can take a guess at who only three people up there seem to hate having no control over him. It is sad that the Black pair aren't coming back to teach this year, I don't get it in it common knowledge I am a werewolf yet the rumors say the parents kicked off that one was teaching here for a year, I will miss the pair of them, they were the best teachers so far.

I heard one of the third years ask "so what is the name of Lucifer's ship" I looked to the girl, humm a fan girl I held off giggling knowing most females in the school have a crush on the dark sixth year. I watched as Ace gave a charming smile as Zoro and Sanji watched on with hidden grins, I have seen them torment their captain on his Fan club "thousand Sunny, the sunny go as the crew call it" he replied getting a hit over the head from Zoro "him, Sunny is a him not an it" he growled but I wasn't paying attention as that name rings a bell but from where.

I watched as the headmaster gave the start of term normal speech, before he told us of the twi-wizard tournament being held this year and only those of age can enter "think Luffy will" Ace asked the older reborns, I looked at the out the corner of my eye watched as Zoro rolled his as Sanji snorted "no too boring for him, the rest of us might be able to get our names in our souls being of age, but it wont be any fun" He replied to the younger. From what I know of the old souls the tournament might just be a walk in the park for them, I watched Ace shrug as the headmaster introduced Mad-eye moody. I saw professor Snape make his way over to Lucifer as we were released to out dorms, wonder what that is about, the Wolf hasn't done anything to get into trouble if the look on the head snakes face is to go by.

-Luffy's p.o.v-

I followed behind my godfather as he lead the way to the head office, I haven't even done anything yet so why am I being called to see Dumbles, unless it's about him trying to get hold of me all summer. I eyed the older male walking in front of me barely holding in a snort getting him to look back over his shoulder, I just grinned at him, He's got till the end of the year before I tell him my rank no matter the clues I've dropped over the years. that and the bet with the lioness that he wont get it till next year, I want that 100 Gallons, just got to find away around that semi-vow that I can not out right tell him only drop a few small clues or out right give it away, that and the crew can't help.

I followed him into the office spotting the Potters and the Lioness, I raised a brow looking around having yet been called up here this life, it's like the headbastard is trying to keep me both at arms length and keeping me close to watch my every more. A trill from the corner made me look, letting a grin show spotting Fawkes before the fire bird flew over landing on my shoulder "hello old friend miss me, you should have stayed the whole summer" I said to the bird running a hand down his wing. He let out a trill like laugh butting his head against me before running his beak through my hair "It seems Fawkes like you" Dumbles said, I ran my eyes over him and the Potters before shrugging "I knew him when he was Godric's familiar, I know he is bond to the school" I told him.

I could see Senior and junior puffing up "that is the headmasters familiar" Lady Potter spat looking at me as if I was something nasty found under her shoes, I rolled my eyes "so why didn't He birdnap me when the headmaster sent him to kidnap me over the summer then, funny thing is he spent two weeks with the crew and I. Lovey sea breeze, warm sun a week at Phoenix island, we left him there so anything passed two weeks I don't know what the old boy got up too" I said before looking to the immortal bird watching as he hid his face under his wing, I let out a bark of laughter shaking my head "will I be meeting any Hatchings soon" I asked the bird. He let off a Squawk hitting me with a wing before taking off out the window letting off a few curses that only I can translate, he'll be back, he always get pay back If I do something like that. I held off frowning I think I just started another prank war with the bird, last time we ended up destroying Row's library, I ended up bald and bright green for a week, it took forever to grow my hair back as Sal wouldn't give me the potion or use his labs, Fawkes spent the winter featherless.

I looked to the headmaster tilting my head "why am I here" I asked getting frowns from all but two, the older man held out a piece of official look parchment, I look it seeing the ministry crest and signed by the minister too as well as the headmaster. I read over it seeing in short I am to hand over Sunny over to the boy wonder and all weapons taken off the ship, meaning they saw that all of us had some kind of weapon before Garp took Sunny away. I felt the magic on the parchment compelling me to sign it all over, the loyalty spells to the headmaster and elder Potter, the one to obey Albus.

I sat back holding it between a thumb and forefinger raising a brow to Albus "yeah, like I'm going to sign over my loyal ship" I said waving the paper, Albus put on his grandfather face "now Luffy my boy, you can see It will be for the grater good handing over you ship to you brother" He said. I snorted shaking my head "the brat hasn't been my brother in years, you forget I am not a Potter, then again the only Potter I like and will call kin is Rose, Sunny is mine and loyal only to me, oh and I am not your boy" I said. Senior stepped forward "now see here NO-name you will sign over that ship, for it is only a ship it can not be loyal to anyone. It is a thing of wood nothing else" he growled.

I gave a cold laugh getting to my feet leaning over the desk the fools stood behind bring my face close to my sires "1- I have a name not my fault you are all fools and morons that you can not find the file, 2- the Thousand Sunny has a Klabautermann, a spirit, If I was to hand him over to someone else he will throw a fit, I've seen it before the one time I let another of the court Sail using him without any of the crew on board. the court member swore my ship was hunted as everything went wrong, It took me a good year apologizing before the crew and I didn't hit every bit of bad weather or current, and I tell you now Nami knows the seas, we have never hit a bad current before that year. My ship who you say is just that a ship, Is a brat and will not sail true for anyone but me and mine, 3 - never try and use spells to control me" I hissed slamming my hand down with the parchment letting my shadow fire burn it to ash, I took a breath not to lash out before standing to my full height giving a grin that shows all my teeth/fangs letting a little of my blood lust out. I took enjoyment out of them shrinking back from me cowering, some days I miss when people knew not to piss me off, that the knew not to mess or try and control me, they will learn. I felt the phantom pain of being flick on the ear and a voice telling me 'no killing morons or thinking it', I let out a near invisible shaky sigh.

I turned my back on the storming out of the room before they came to their sense and locked the door, I felt Hogwarts wrap her magic around me to bleed off the bloodlust that still clung to me before I got back to the common room, lets just hope the circle got the first years settled as I talk to them and give them the rules before sending them off to bed. why do I get the feeling this year is going to be interesting and stressful, might as well see to my house then head to bed, to stressed to go over the small amount of paper work I know is waiting for me.

A/N - It might be a few days before I post anything be it this story or a chapter of book 2, as I have found a new love in the magi manga and am already planning stories but I will post something in a few days :)
