As they sat having tea and biscuits Taerel was wondering what he should ask Charity about the school as no one had really told him anything and as he was staying for the time being he wanted to learn as much as he could about the school that sung to him, whispering to him about everything she could possibly tell him but he wanted to know more
He knew that the 'Founders' as they were called created the school after Rowena followed a Warthog to the lands where the school now stands on and their names were Godric Gryffindor, Helga Hufflepuff, Rowena Ravenclaw and Salazar Slytherin but that was all what he was told by the school herself as she was very secretive to say the least
"My dear what do you know about Hogwarts herself?" asked Taerel to his new friend Charity
"Well I know in Hogwarts A History that was written by Bathilda Bagshot it released in or around 1984 from what I have read and what we do know is that the ceiling in the Great Hall were we have our meals and have our free periods is bewitched to look like the sky outside, so if its sunny and hot the sky in the Hall will show the same
No one can apparate in or out of Hogwarts herself not even the Headmaster is able to do that, Hogwarts is hidden from muggles, non magical people, all they see is a worn down building that is the castle itself with "DO NOT ENTER DANGER"
In 1792 a cockatrice, a two legged dragon/wyvern or serpent like creature with a rooster's head was loose during the Triwizard tournament tasks, the heads of the three schools, including one from Hogwarts, were injured by the deadly creature
We do know that no muggle technology doesn't work within the castle and the grounds surrounding it hence why we use candles and not light bulbs and lastly boys aren't allowed in the girls dorms if they try to enter the stairs turn into a slide"
"That is a lot of information and that is just in one book what about anything else?" he looked at her curious at her he wanted to know much more he was in what his grandparents called 'research mode'
"Taerel..."
"Call me Trell"
"Ok then T...Trell from what I have told you is what has been written in the book" she took it our of her bag
"We are giving this book when we are eleven years old and it is Hogwarts' History, I wouldn't talk to the History Professor he is a ghost but he only teaches about the Goblin Wards, I would ask the portraits for what they know the school better than we do as the school is 1000 years old" she smiled and put her cup down
"Oh I will do that I can feel that the she is sentient and she sings in such a way that it makes me feel at home and calm even if I am in a completely different Realm she is making me feel welcomed" said Taerel smiling more
"I feel like that as well when I first came here I didn't like being away from my family but Hogwarts made it so that I didn't feel so alone, then I found out that most of the first years felt like that so we all had something in common to be honest with you, I must get going it appears that it's getting late and I don't want to be late for dinner" she got up
"Let me walk you to the Hall I will sit with the blue and bronze house I think you called them Ravenclaw?"
"That's right they are named after Rowena Ravenclaw her animal is a eagle not sure why though, oh well" and the pair headed down to the Hall for dinner but neither noticed Dumbles looking at them a glint in his eyes that said he was up to no good, he had found who he was going to put into the lake but when they split up Charity to Hufflepuff and Taerel to Ravenclaw he watched as he spoke to the looney girl that was Luna Lovegood
He was in a predicament who to chose as Harry or Taerel as he liked to be called stupid if you asked him he would always be known Harry James Potter in his book and she should follow with what he says and at the end of this all he would be going back to his lovely aunt and uncle so then he can grow up into a respectable wizard... none of this Elf stuff creatures blah nothing but hogwash and that it would be better if they were killed if you ask him
Taerel sat down and smiled at Luna who in her defense blushed back slightly he was good looking he had that but she knew he wouldn't go for her, she had seen it, her gift from her mother Pandora sadly she had Seer blood in her and she knew who would be best for Taerel when he finally became head of the Heikrana family and return home
"My dear can you tell me more about Hogwarts I know that you are of a younger year than I but I understand that you might not be able to answer all of my questions but if you can answer a few that would be lovely" he looked at Luna and smiled he knew she was special and that she had a gift a very strong gift if she only trusted it, he pushed away the pumpkin juice didn't they have anything else better than that?
"I'll be happy to help you Taerel or can I call you by your nickname?" she passed him over some water to him knowing that he didn't like pumpkin juice
"You can call me by that name my dear" he smiled a thanks
"Thank you, from what I can work out is that you know that Lady Ravenclaw followed the warthog all the way to Scotland here and the Founders built the castle on the very ground said animal stopped atop of the black lake" she took a sip of her drink before she carried on
"Hogwarts herself was built in the year 990 so the castle is now 1004 years old now, she is sentient as you already know, she sings to me as well she said that I would make a good friend this year and she was right about that
The motto that is on our crests of Draco Dormiens Nunquam Titillandus means never tickle a sleeping dragon, I don't know why you would do that very dangerous in my eyes but alas someone had to do it
Merlin himself was a Slytherin people think as he was the greatest wizard around and did all this good they would think he's a Gryffindor but no he was a Slytherin most people are surprised by it
There are four main ghosts that are the ghosts of the houses there is the Bloody Baron of Slytherin, the Fat Frier of Hufflepuff, Helena Ravenclaw- Rowena Ravenclaw's very own daughter is the Ravenclaw's ghost and then lastly St Nicolas de Mimsy-Porpington or as he's also known as St Nick, or nearly headless Nick
Cuthbert Binns the History teacher is he died here one night and the following morning got back up to teach I don't think he knows he's dead yet but it's been too long he should know by now I think, the last ghost around here that we know of is Peeves he's the resident poltergeist he's all for pranks but they can get out of hand if you know what I mean" said Luna giving him enough information as she could think of at that very time as she had homework to do for tomorrow when it was due in
"I thank you my dear this has giving me a lot to think about, do you think we could see each other again to discuss this more in depth?" he pushed his plate away he wasn't going to each anymore way to fatty for his taste that was
"Yes I don't think anyone here in Ravenclaw will mind you asking questions" she looked at the rest of her house and each one was intrigued by him wanting to learn and Ravenclaw's were known for they would be glad to help Taerel as he stayed here for the time being
Over at the Gryffindor table Hermione, Ginny and Ron weren't happy that Taerel wasn't sitting and talking with them they were meant to be the 'golden' trio him, Ron and Hermione that is and that he was meant to be asking Ginny out they were meant to get married when Ginny finally left school in four more years but Taerel was talking to Looney Luna Lovegood and a 6th year Hufflepuff
Hufflepuffs were the left overs from the other houses anyone that didn't fit in the other three houses ended up there, they were the gum on their shoes nothing more, Gryffindor was were you were meant to me they were the lightest house there, Slytherin was the worst and Ravenclaw were just smart arses nothing more but here was Taerel fraternising with the two houses that were beneath Gryffindor at least he wasn't going to Slytherin....
They looked up and saw him heading towards the enemy's territory... he was going to turn bad
.......
sorry for all hufflepuffs and ravenclaw's out there
