A/N- Thank you, TheNorwegianAuthor, for betaing this chapter.
Also, I just read a bit in the Harry Potter Wiki, and found out that only Rowena and an architect planned how Hogwarts looked like, so I changed last chapter a bit. I'm trying to make this story as close to canon as possible.
Chapter 3: New Discoveries-
Two years later...
"What?!" Lord Nicholas shouted at Cassius, his servant. He didn't care at all about Cygnus' injuries. "There is absolutely no way that(Space)- that my son is a wizard! I will not allow it! My own son - a wizard."
Cassius looked at Nicholas, unfazed, and said: "The King is coming here tommorow, I suggest that he either receive a license now, or-"
"Or I could beat it out of him! I am going to beat out every drop of magic he has! I will not allow my son to be one of them! Bring him to me immediately!"
"Yes, Cassius?" Binns said as he opened the door to the classroom, where Frederick and Cygnus sat.
"Lord Nicholas has summoned Cygnus." Cassius reported.
Binns nodded to Cygnus, Cygnus got up, left, and Cassius followed him.
Binns looked at Frederick and said as soon as the door closed: "You should follow him. He is proobably getting a beating for being a wizard, you should know what Nicholas is going to do to you when he finds out that you also are a wizard."
Frederick nodded and left.
It wasn't supposed to happen. Everything would be okay if not for one, small pebble.
Cygnus and Frederick were walking together on Stoatshead Avenue, the most busy place in Ottery - People were everywhere, doing everything. Some were shopping, some were working and some, like Frederick and Cygnus, were just out to have fun.
As Cygnus and Frederick were admiring the place for the first time, Cygnus suddenly slipped on a small pebble and landed on a woman, both her and Cygnus falling down.
Suddenly, a huge man with biceps the size of the Malfoy Manor ran over to them and helped the woman up. Then he turned to Cygnus: "What do you think you're doing, falling into my lady! I'll teach you a lesson, bastard!"
The man lifted his hand and threw it at Cygnus, but Frederick blocked it with his hand, and it broke instantly. The man threw Frederick to the side, and punched Cygnus in the face. He then took out a small shiny item and plunged it into Cygnus. Cygnus looked down at the man's hand and saw a dagger in his hand going into his own body.
He heard a faint voice calling his name, but suddenly, just as he was about to faint, the knife flew out of Cygnus and stabbed the man's leg, before exploding inside the man's leg.
When Cygnus woke up, he was already back at the Manor. Frederick told him that he was a wizard. Apparently, all of his wounds healed almost completely on the way back!
He couldn't be a wizard - he'll get executed, unless his dad kills him first!
And now his dad was going to kill him. He didn't even dare try to run away.
When they finally got to his father's room, Cygnus entered and Cassius returned to the servants quarters.
"I can't believe it. My son - a wizard... I expected more from you." Nicholas said and took out his whip.
"Dad! It's not my fault! I didn't do anything!" Cygnus said, panicking as he saw the whip.
"Don't worry, after this you will either not be a wizard anymore, or not my son." Nicholas said, frowned and the cracked the whip on Cygnus' body without warning him.
Frederick couldn't see any of this, but he could hear everything as the door wasn't completely closed. After a few minutes of hearing Cygnus' crying and the whip cracking, he heard something unexpected: "Cygnus, unfortunately it is not working. You are still a wizard. I have to do this." Nicholas' voice said.
Frederick ran as fast as he could to Binns, who fortunately wasn't that far away.
"Binns, I think he's going to kill him!" Frederick said.
"What?! Follow me!" Binns said and ran to Nicholas' room, his wand out.
It was the first time Frederick had ever seen Binns' wand. It was brown and about 10 inches long.
When they reached Nicholas' room, Binns pointed his wand at the door and said: "Confringo!" making the door explode.
They entered the room and saw Nicholas and Cygnus. Cygnus was unconcious and dangerously close to an open window.
"Give me the boy." Binns said, his wand pointing at Nicholas.
"I thought you said the door was magic-proof?" Nicholas said, and pushed Cygnus toward Binns, and Cygnus fell.
"I lied." Binns answered simply, and said: "Stupefy!" making Nicholas faint.
"What did you do?" Frederick asked as Binns awakened Cygnus.
"Nothing serious, he'll wake up in a few hours. Enough time for us to escape."
"Es-escape?" Cygnus said. He had just woken up.
"Cygnus!" Frederick said and hugged him.
"Yes. You are both wizards, and once your father wakes up he'll order his guards to capture us, and probably execute you and I, Cygnus." Binns said.
Cygnus fainted again.
"Where are you taking us?" Frederick asked.
"To the nearest safe place for wizards. It's called Hogwarts. I'll tell you more on the way."
As Binns and the others exited the building, Binns looked around and saw a coachman on a horse. He pointed his wand at the man and said: "Imperio!"
The man turned around and nodded at Binns, who then procceeded to running into the carriage with Cygnus Leveitated next to him, and Frederick followed.
"Okay, what's Hogwarts?" Frederick asked once they were all in the carriage, which started moving.
"Cygnus should also hear all of this. Reenervate!" He said, pointing his wand at Cygnus.
Cygnus opened his eyes slowly, and Frederick said impatiently: "Great, now that Cygnus is finally awake, what's Hogwarts?"
"It is a Wizarding School that still hasn't been completed. Until it is fully built, it's just a place where no Non-Magical, or Muggles as we call them, can find us." Binns said.
Frederick and Cygnus nodded, and then Binns remembered something. He pointed his wand out of the door and said: "Expecto Patronum!"
From what Frederick saw through the window, the only thing that came out was white mist, and then he turned back to Binns.
"What was that?" Cygnus asked.
"I sent a message to one of my friends who are building the school. I'm not really good at that spell, so all it'll ever be is white mist. More talented wizards can create animals from the smoke." Binns said. "You should both go to sleep. You had a long day."
A/N- Just so you know-
Statute of Secrecy was only established in 1692, 5-6 centuries after this takes place.
The Unforgivables were only made Unforgivable in 1717, 6-7 centuries after this takes place. It is unknown if they were illegal before that, in this story they are, but as no one that knew it was illegal was around when Binns cast the Imperius Curse, he could use it.
Nicholas and Victoria Malfoy will probably still be a part of the story, I haven't decided yet.
I'll really appreciate if you review this! If you want to ask any questions, review them. I'll answer in the next chapter, and if you have an account, I'll also PM the answer to you.
