Matilda Scamander - The Real World ✔️

Chapter Ten: The Phoenix

"Matilda straighten out you back leg." Krum yells. "How many times am I going to have to tell you?"

Matilda grunts and fixes her stance. "Come on." The boy standing across from her challenges. Matilda rolls her eyes and smirks as she knows she can take the man-child standing across from her down.

"Keep it clean." Krum says as he steps in-between them. He then steps back. Matilda does not wait she immediately sends a charm flying through the air before the boy can react he stumbles backs and falls. "Give each other a chance." Krum yells a second to late. Krum shakes his head and pivots on his heels. "Miss. Scamander, my office right now." Matilda follows the man who storms off. He points at his office. "Stay there." As he walks off towards the office of the head Auror. He knocks of the door.

"Yes." Harry waves in Krum who shuts the door behind him with a light thud. "Aren't you suppose to be training the new recruits." Harry sasses.

Krum laughs. "I would but we have an issue."

"What seems to be the issue?" Harry asks as he continues working.

"Miss. Scamander." Krum says simply.

Harry finally looks up. "Miss. Scamander?"

"Yes. She has surpassed the level of the rest of the first year recruits." Krum says.

Harry scoffs. "That's your fault for taking a liking to her and training her privately." Harry looks at the man across him both with questioning looks in their eyes. " What do you want me to do about it? She is already been invited to be a member of the Order of Merlin and if you and I are not mistaken she is the Phoenix in the prophecy recently uncovered."

Krum smirks. "We aren't mistaken, Potter. Let Miss. Scamander join the second year recruits that means she graduates this summer and we can find out for sure."

Harry nods. "Go tell her but she can never find out about the prophecy otherwise she might alter her course."

----------------------------------------

Matilda sits in the office she has come to know very well. She turns the picture frames on Krum's desk that reveal photos of him with his wife Cho Chang and their three young sons. Matilda smiles. "Beautiful isn't it?" Krum says from the doorway where he stood watching the girl who he never had taking a liking to. Matilda nods nervously not knowing what was bout to happen. "No need to be nervous Miss. Scamander." Krum smiles warmly at her as he takes his seat across from her.

"I'm not." Matilda says firmly regaining power.

"That's more like it." Krum says. "Miss. Scamander, after a discussion with the Head Auror we have decided that you will join the class of recruits above you meaning you will graduate as an Auror this summer. You cannot stay with the group you are in now for I have trained you too well and surpass them in more than you think."

"Do I join them now?" Matilda asks confused.

"Yes. Come along." Krum stands up and walks out of his office Matilda following him closely. They walk passed the training room where she had been training for the past half year and head straight for the door at the end of the hallway. Krum does not bother knocking he just walks in and Matilda follows. The room is silent an Auror at the front of the room giving a lecture while all the recruits frantically take notes. Matilda adjusts her backpack to distract herself from the humility of having just barged into a in progress lecture.

"Krum, what can I do for you?" The man at the front asks. He smiles. The older man's gaze then fall on Matilda.

"This is Miss. Scamander, she will be joining and graduating with this group of recruits." Krum says then pushes Matilda forward. "Find a seat." He whispers in her ear. Matilda does as she is told and takes a seat in the empty back row of the room.
