Harry Potter: Blood of the Dragon

Chapter 250 - 250. Call Of The Nature

"Here, Sev, Rag and Emma. Taste these, mum sent them. She especially made them with her own hand. Hehe, Abe and George were scolded for helping her in the morning." Magnus nudged them. Currently, they were one of the few in the hall, as the train had not arrived yet.

"Mrs Grant made all this for me? She's so kind... Thank you." Emma happily took the box with great enthusiasm. ??

"WOAH... There's pizza for me, Mrs Grant packed me a pizza. How did she know this was my favourite?" Grace was already on cloud nine. The pizza had become her favourite food ever since the trip with Magnus.

"Nice, for me it's chicken." Ragnar was also satisfied.

"Severus, we didn't know what food you love the most so mum packed a little of it all. I got pancakes though." Magnus said and enjoyed the smooth buttery pancakes.

They ate heartily even before dinner started. However, Emma couldn't eat it all. "That's it, I'm done. I cannot eat more, do you guys want some?"

"Sure, give it to me. I never waste food, especially when mum made it." Magnus took her lunchbox and gobbled the food down.

But then he noticed Severus sitting silently and taking small bites, "You don't want it?"

Severus simply pushed the box towards him. Magnus happily ate that too, "Sev... You're acting different today. Is everything okay?"

Severus' heart beat fast. He was happy that Magnus at least noticed it. But he quickly tried to act normal, or else Voldemort will double he's acting like this purposefully.

"Rag, give me some chicken too." Magnus now had his eyes set on Ragnar's box.

"NO! These are spicy chicken, my favourite." Ragnar denied it wholeheartedly. If anybody, only Ragnar could challenge Magnus when it came to eating. It was as if Ragnar too was somewhat dragon-like.

"Come on, just one piece, I wanna taste it." Magnus was persistent.

So Ragnar tore a small 1-centimetre piece of meat and gave it to Magnus, "Go away now."

"YOU THINK I'M A DOG?" Magnus acted enraged. But Ragnar stayed calm.

"Continue, I know you're faking it so that I may agree with you. Huh, we live in the same house, Mag. I know everything about you." Ragnar smugly read him.

Magnus hissed and sat back, it was mission failed for him and he had to satisfy his taste buds with a small 1-centimetre bite of chicken. He waited for the hall to fill up. The 2nd-7th years were the first to enter and take their seats. The 1st years were going to enter next.

Everyone was ready to clap, but Magnus found himself in a very problematic situation. He held his stomach, "Dammit... I shouldn't have eaten so much. I-I gotta go..."

He got up and fast-walked out of the Great Hall through a side door. Except for a few teachers and his friends, none noticed him leaving as the hall was very noisy already.

Once out of everyone's view, he decided to make a run for it. It was a ticking time bomb for him in his belly.

"WOAAAH!... MR PENDRAGON!"

Magnus, as he was closing the door of the Great Hall, heard some gasps and awes.

He turned around, it resulted in a frown and sweat appearing on his forehead. There stood 100 small kids with sparkling eyes.

~Frick ME!... Why now?~ he internally cried.

All of the 1st year students there started to rush to Magnus to talk to him or shake his hands. But Magnus was in a pinch at the moment. He didn't want to open his mouth to speak or else he might just curse at them.

~Where the hell is Professor McGonagall?~ He looked left and right.

"Mr Pendragon, did you really defeat 15 wizards alone?"

"Mr Pendragon, are you really the richest wizard in the world?"

"Can I touch you?"

"Do you know Merlin?"

"Can I still buy Dumbledore Flavoured underwire?"

"Are there other flavours?"

"Is Princess Grace really an angel?"

They all started to ask him questions. Those muggle-born students who had no idea started to ask their newly made friends about him, and those started to enthusiastically tell them about him, but they were exaggerating it by too much, saying Magnus had killed 5 Basilisk all alone.

~On no, they have surrounded me~ he internally cried and silently took out his wand. ~I'm afraid, I will have to use my powers on these younglings.~

*WOOSH* *ZZZZ* And a lightsaber suddenly decapitated all 1st-year kids... AH! wrong universe.***

*WOOSH* A girl jumped and hugged Magnus' waist tightly. This was akin to squeezing a balloon on the verge of bursting.

"Me Pendragon, I am a big fan of yours. My big brother talks so much about you..." she chirped.

"W-Who's y-your brother?" He asked in pain and interest, a rare combination he wasn't liking experiencing.

"I am Amelia Bones, my big brother is Edgar Bones." She revealed happily. She was very proud of her brother working with Magnus.

"Oh!" Magnus exclaimed... but it was known if it was in shock or a natural accident somewhere in the pants.

*FOOTSTEPS*

"First years... please stand in line here and do not make noise. Mr Pendragon, what are you doing outside?" Finally, Professor McGonagall arrived.

To Magnus, she didn't seem any less than a heavenly angel, with a wrinkled face but still an angel, "I forgot something in my room, I'll be back in a minute." He blurted and ran away paying no attention to them.

...

The Great Hall greeted the new students with warm applause. Soon the sorting ceremony was also conducted.

"Amelia Bones... Hufflepuff!"

"Bartemius Crouch Junior... SLYTHERIN!"

The sorting was neatly done with no hat stall, meaning that there were no students this year that had talents that were compatible with all houses.

Once they all took their seats, Dumbledore took to the podium to speak. However, his eyes darted towards the Slytherin table and found Magnus missing. But he didn't pay much attention to it.

"Welcome to Hogwarts, 1st years, and welcome back to the rest. I must acknowledge, the beginning of this year has already tensed many of you up, and it's understandable. What happened this morning at the King's Cross station was very tragic and horrifying.

"The loss of life is never easy to cope up with. So we shall have 2 minutes of silence in the name of all those who lost their lives in that tragic accident today." Dumbledore announced and turned silent.

.

.

.

After two minutes, he spoke proudly, "Despite what happened and how scary it must have been, a few of our students showed the bravery of unmatched calibre and rushed to help those in need.

"I am very proud of all of you, as I always dreamt of seeing wizards someday use magic to help without asking anything in return. Still, I would like to name everyone who participated in the rescue. First, let's start with the one who led the whole rescue, Magn... *THUD*"

Dumbledore's speech was interrupted because someone opened the Great Hall's door too loudly. But then a man ran inside in a weird fashion, he was physically challenged. Many recognised him as Professor Kettleburn. His face looked horrified and panicked.

"HEADMASTER! HELP! IN THE SCHOOL..." He cried in fear.

Dumbledore calmly asked, "What happened? Breathe, Professor Kettleburn, and answer clearly."

"THERE'S A CHIMAERA IS ON THE LOOSE!"

Bang, all those who knew what this creature meant panicked and started screaming.

"SILENCE! CALM DOWN. As long as everyone is here you will be safe, all the teachers are here to secure the area." Dumbledore took over the situation.

He turned to look at the teacher and silently nodded. They took the cue and went to each entrance of the Great Hall to guard it.

*BAM*

But just then, with a loud thud, the main door was pushed open.

"ROOOOAR..." The ear-shattering roar resounded.

...

10 minutes ago,

"Ah... I bet it was the chicken. I should've stuck to pancakes." Magnus was loosening himself in the restroom. It was on the 1st floor not too far away from the Great Hall.

"I should hurry up, can't miss the whole ceremony. I need to keep a high reputation so more of the new students follow me. I wonder who will join Slytherin though." He was busy with his thoughts.

*Knock Knock*

All of a sudden someone heavily knocked on the door of his stall.

Annoyedly, Magnus barked, "Hey, this is occupied. And there are 10 more stalls."

*Knock Knock*

"Come on, let me take the call of nature in peace."

*BAM BAM BAM*

"THAT'S IT, I'M COMING OUT." He angrily finished, flushed and opened the door.

But he immediately took a few steps back and a frown with sweat appeared on his face. Alongside, his wand appeared in one hand and a sword in the other.

"Oh, what a cute... CHIMAERA?!"

(???)
