Chapter 4- The Wizard Soldier

A few hours later, both Cygnus and Frederick were awake.
"When will we get there?" Frederick asked for the millionth time.
"We're supposed to be at Hogwarts in about half an hour." Binns replied.
Frederick groaned. "I don't want to wait another half an hour! We've been here for hours!"
"You know, other wizards with non-magical parents take two days to come here. So-"
"I don't care about other wizards with non-magical parents! Can't you use magic to make us get there instantly?" Frederick cut him off.
"Absolutely not. I will not risk it." Binns said.
Before Frederick could reply, an arrow tore through the carriage, nearly missing Binns ear. Binns pushed both kids to the floor.
"Stay there." he said and jumped out of the carriage.
Cygnus looked out of the hole in the carriage out of curiosity, and saw about a dozen of soldiers, all of them wearing the Malfoy Crest. He even recognized one of them- Cedric was one of the best soldiers, he always got the job done, and somehow, even though the jobs Nicholas Malfoy gave him were cruel, the whole city of Ottery St Catchpole knew him and loved him.

"Frederick, you got to see this!" Cygnus whispered and turned back at his friend. "He is using magic!"
Frederic pushed Cygnus out of the way and looked through the hole himself.
Frederick gasped, and then one of the soldiers turned to the carriage.

"Someone's there!" The soldier said, and then Binns shot a red light at him.
"Another wizard, traitor?" Cedric asked Binns.
Binns shook his head and pointed his wand at Cedric: "Yesis! Wizardis Theris! Savis!"
Nothing shot out of his wand, and Cedric nodded. He took his sword and smacked the soldier closest to him on the head, making him faint.
None of the soldiers saw this, as they were fighting Binns. Cedric ran to the carriage an entered it.
"Don't worry, I am a wizard too. We're getting out of here." Cedric whispered something and pointed is sword at his shield. The coachman has dissapeared.
"Everyone grab onto this as good as you can!" he said, and the two boys grabbed onto it.

Suddenly, Cygnus felt something like a hook grabbing his belly button and then all three of them were spinning.
After a few seconds, Cygnus felt something hard slam into him, and tasted dirt in his mouth, and he saw Frederick slam onto the ground in front of him. A few seconds later he saw Cedric walking on the air and landing softly on the ground.
He lifted both of them up and said: "We're here."
Cygnus looked around and saw nothing but a huge forest behind him, and a rather big lake in front of him. A big rock was in the lake and a mermaid was seen on it.
"That's it?" Cygnus asked, trying to hide his disappointment.
"They haven't finished planning yet, I expect it to be completed sometime next year." Cedric said. "Until it's done, we'll be staying at a friend of mine's place. He's a member of the Wizard's Council- the governing body of the wizarding community in Great Britain."
Cygnus and Frederick both nodded, and Frederick spoke for the first time since they left the carriage.
"When do we get there?"
"We'll be there in about an hour if we fly." Cedric said.
"Fly? How?" Cygnus asked.
"You'll see." Cedric grinned, took out some meat from his pocket and whistled.

Nothing happened.

"What's there to see?" Cygnus asked.
Cedric grinned and pointed at the forest. "Look closely."

Cygnus squinted and saw a small white dot running toward them.
"What's that?" he said.

"You'll see." Cedric said again.

When the white dot was near enough so he could see what it was, he saw the most beatiful thing in the world- A four legged eagle with shining brown feathers was running towards them. After a few seconds it started flapping its wings and his legs slowly left the ground.

As it soared toward them, Cedric held the meat up in front of him and the creature grabbed it from his hand and landed on the ground.
"Hey Beeky!" Cedric said and hugged the eagles neck.

"You named it- whatever hat thing is- Beeky?" Cygnus asked.
"Its called a hippogriff, and don't judge me, I was six!" Cedric said and huffed. "We should start flying, so we'll get there before dark."
"I thought you said it will take half an hour to get there?" Frederick said.
"You never know."

"Look, a Patronus!" Helga said as she looked out of the window of the founder's house. "I wonder who sent it."

Rowena looked out of the window and shrugged. "Probably Cuthbert, he's the only one I know that knows how to cast it, but not good enough to make a corporeal one."

Helga ran to the door and pened it. "Rowena, are you coming? It might be important!"
Rowena sighed and walked out of the door toward the Patronus.

When they reached the Patronus, they started to hear Cuthbert Binns' voice in their head.

"The two Muggleborns and I are on our way to Wulfric's place."

Helga turned to Rowena and said: "We must tell them, now!"
Rowena rolled her eyes and said: "It's just a couple of Muggleborns. No big deal."
"Well, yes, but they are our first Muggleborn students!" Helga replied.
"Ugh, fine. Lets go tell the boys."

The 'boys', as Rowena called them, acted exactly as Rowena expected.

"I don't see what's the problem with teaching Muggleborns too!" Godric said for the tenth time.
"Well, I don't know, maybe because they could be spies for the Muggles!" He didn't say it as if it was a question.
"Could be. The four of us alone can easily either make the Muggles run away, or escape."
"That may be true, but what happens when there are a hundred students? The first years will barely be able to Levitate a feather!" Salazar said angrily. Contrary to popular belief, he did not hate Muggleborns, at least not because they were Muggle wizards. He hated them for a rather different reason.

"Sal, I'm bored! Let's go play Creaothceann!" Godric, then 11 years old, said to Salazar in the first-year common room of Evan's School of Magical Education, or ESME.
"I'm sorry, Godric, but I rather not break my skull. It's rather annoying and painful."
"Well, then lets play...I don't know, Shuntbumps?" Godric said.
"No!" Salazar replied.
"Why not?" Godric asked.
"Look, I really need to finish this essay, so will you please be quiet? It's hard enough to do this thing without you talking." Salazar said angrily.

As soon as Salazar stopped talking, a student of about 15 ran into the common room.
"Everyone, take your wands out and get ready to defend yourselves! Muggles are attacking!"
The second the words came out of the 5th year's mouth, everyone started shouting.
"What? How?!" Salazar asked Godric.
"I don't know, where's Victor? We need to find him!" Godric shouted.
Salazar looked around and pushed people, yet to no avail. Victor was no where to be seen.

Suddenly, a dozen of Muggle soldiers kicked the door down and entered the first year common room. They had Victor's family crest on it.
"What?! Godric! Godric! It's Victor! He betrayed us!" Salazar shouted.
"Sal, look out! Behind you!" Godric shouted.

As Salazar turned around, he saw a red light flying toward him and then he fainted.

"Look, Salazar, I know that Victor betrayed us, but you can't judge all of the Muggleborns by the actions of one traitor!" Godric said, as he knew what Salazar was thinking of.
As soon as Salazar opened his mouth, Helga cut him off.
"I have an idea! I suggest two solutions- Either we limit the amount of Muggleborns students, or we split up into four groups, one of us for each group, and the group founder picks which students to put in his/her group." "Each group will sleep at different places! Happy now?" Helga added as Salazar opened his mouth.
Salazar nodded, and then Helga clapped. "All in favor of the limit option, raise your hands."
Only one hand was raised.
"All in favor of the groups option, raise your hands."
Four hands were in the air.
"What happened, Salazar, voted twice?" Rowena asked.
"I think both are good ideas." Salazar replied, and shrugged.

Suddenly, a knock was heard from the window. They all turned to it and saw a big owl with gold and brown feathers.

"It's Avery's owl! The Muggleborns must have arrived." Rowena said.
Salazar rolled his eyes. "Oh, great."

Godric opened the window as he was closest to it, the owl flew in and dropped a piece of parchment on the table and Salazar grabbed it.

"How in Merlin's name am I supposed to read this wretched writing? It's even worse than yours, Godric!" Salazar exclaimed, frustrated.
"What? If I recall correctly, didn't he have understandable, if not beatiful writing?" Rowena asked.
"It doesn't matter how is handwriting looks like, just read the wretched thing!" Godric said.
Salazar nodded and pointed his wand at the parchment and said: "Recito."
A few seconds later, in which all of the four founders heard the letter being read to them, Rowena said in a surprised tone: "What?!"
"I don't know why you are so surprised, Cuthbert was never a strong wizard." Salazar said. "Why we even hired him, I am not sure."
"It was because he was the closest and safest option. The kids couldn't have ever escaped the castle with outside help." Helga said.

Godric summoned his dress robes with his wands and put it on. "Are you coming? Avery doesn't appreciate people being late."

About ten minutes earlier...

"Hold on as hard as you can!" Cedric said, and then Beeky the hippogriff pointed his beak at the ground and fllew toward it.
Frederick, who was holding on Cedric, turned around to Cygnus and saw that his face was becoming green.
Frederick turned back to Cedric and looked down. They were losing speed and flying closer and closer to the ground. A big house, though not as big as the Malfoy Manor, was in front of them.
As Beeky was landing, Cygnus hopped of him and vomited.
Cedric just laughed and pointed his wand at the pile of vomit, and it dissapeared.
"Ah, Cedric, we haven't met in such a long time!" a voice said behind them, and they all turned around.
"Avery. Hello." Cedric said and frowned.
Avery knelt so he could be at eye level with the two children.
"And who are these young boys?" Avery asked.
Cygnus stepped forward and grinned, as this was their first conversation with a wizard! Well, excluding Cedric and Binns, but this was different.

"I'm Cygnus" he said, and pointed at himself. "And this is Frederick." he said and pointed at Frederick, who smiled at Avery.
"Nice to meet you, call me Avery." he said, and shook both children hands. "Follow me, I'll show you to your rooms."

A/N-

Recito- (Read aloud) This spell causes every person the caster allows to hear the written piece the spell is being casted on being read to them by the caster's voice, despite the caster not saying anything. If one of of the people allowed to hear the written piece (including the caster) speaks, the spell is broken.

I'll try to make every chapter from now on longer (About this size), but no promises.

Review, and you are welcome to PM me any questions.
