Saxon's POV

Once I had all my things I rushed out to the common room where to my great surprise Cedric was waiting for me even though we had Professor McGonagall first and she was by far one of the strictest teachers. I grabbed Cedric's hand and we ran to Transfiguration, making it just before the bell went.
"Cutting it a little close Mr Riddle and Mr Diggory." Professor McGonagall says looking at us over her glasses.
"I'm sorry Professor. I was helping deal with a situation in the common room this morning and completely lost track of time. Cedric was waiting for me even though he didn't need to." I explained.
"Alright, take your seats. I expect a full explanation after class." She said turning to the board.
After we slid into our seats the class began. Transfiguration went quickly and I stayed back telling Cedric to head to Potions as we all knew my dad's wrath when someone was late. Professor McGonagall waited for the class to empty before turning to me.
"Now. Saxon what happened this morning, I noticed that both you and Mr Potter were missing from breakfast." She said.
"Well, we were all waiting in the common room for Harry and Neville. I decided that it was time to go get them because otherwise we might miss breakfast, when I entered the first year dorm room. Harry was on the floor shaking and crying, Neville was trying to calm him down and I seemed to be working a little bit. After a little bit of watching I sent Neville to go tell the others to go eat and to ask either Cedric or Percy to send my dad to come help me. Once Neville left I managed to calm Harry down enough that I could hopefully help him. I didn't know what was wrong so I decided it would probably be safest if I put him to sleep. I did that and then raced to my own room to grab some potions for when my dad got there. When he arrived I led him to Harry and he did some test before telling me to take him to the hospital wing and that he needed to go speak with the Headmaster. So that's what I did, and when Madam Pomfrey ushered me out I looked at the time only to see that I'd missed breakfast and needed to hurry so that I wouldn't be late for class. When I got to the common room, Cedric was there with my schedule. I raced to my room grabbed my stuff and then dragged Cedric here. Even though he should have just came himself after he gave me my schedule." I told her.
"Alright. That's definitely something good to know. Next time make sure Severus tells whoever your first teacher is that you might be late. Now hurry off to your next class." She tells me.
I rush out of her class room and past a group of first year Gryffindors. One of them trips me.
"Oops." He says.
I look up and see who it is, only to glare.
Your brothers won't be happy when they hear me tell them about this Ronald.
I push my self up before rushing down to the dungeons. Class had already started making me late so I quietly snuck into the classroom and sat down next to Fred. Looking up at the board I saw what we were making, this would be easy. I set up my cauldron and got to work. Fred and I finished at about the same time and handed them in. When we sat back down Fred pulled out a piece of parchment, since we all knew my dad hated people having side conversations in his class. He scribbled something on it before sliding it over to me.
Why were you late? And how did you manage to not get a lecture from your dad? He literally lectures everyone if they're late, but today he has barely said anything other than snapping at us that the instructions were on the board and to get started.
After reading that I knew I needed to speak to dad and see what's going on.
I was late because Professor McGonagall wanted to speak with me. I would have made it on time if it wasn't for your stupid brother. As for my dad I'll need to speak with him to find out what's happening.
I slid the parchment back over to Fred who looked pissed before scribbling something down again and sliding it back to me.
What did Ronald do now?
I quietly chuckled before writing my reply.
He tripped me while I was rushing out of McGonagall's classroom. All he said was 'oops'. I glared at him. What do you plan to do to him?
I handed it back. However Fred didn't get the chance to reply as the bell rang, signalling the end of class and beginning of lunch. I waited for everyone else to leave before approaching my dad.
"Dad, what's going on. Even Fred Weasley noticed that something was off today." I told him.
"It's to do with Harry Potter. The child is being abused by his muggle relatives, the Headmaster knows this but won't do anything about it. I'm wondering if he's planning something like he was with Tom. Now that I think about it though, I don't remember the Potter's will ever being read. I'll have to go see the ministry, they should have a copy of it." Dad explained.
"That explains his behaviour this morning. What do you suppose the will is going to say?" I ask.
"I don't know. But I doubt Lily would have let her son go to her magic hating sister." He replied. "You should head to lunch seeing as you missed breakfast."
I nodded my head not wanting to argue with my dad. Leaving the room I headed straight to the great hall for lunch. I sat down with the Weasley Twins and listened to them scheming something that they planned on doing to their brother, surprisingly Percy added in every once in awhile. While they talked I formed my own plan to get revenge on their brother, it was Percy that noticed the look on my face and moved away a little. The twins didn't notice, which was a good thing because the next moment Ronald's hair turned from bright red to an ugly green. I watched as those around him started to snicker and a few even started to laugh. Some other people also started laughing, as lunch continued most of the hall was either laughing or snickering. When lunch was over Ronald had finally figured out what happened and came marching over to the slytherin table and up to my brother.
"Fix this now Riddle. I know it was you." He yelled.
"I have no idea what you're talking about." My brother responded trying to hold back a laugh.
"Fix my hair this instant." Ronald yelled backing my brother against the table.
"I can't fix something I didn't do." Alex yelled back.
Ronald slapped him, yelling for my brother to fix his hair. When my brother repeated that he couldn't fix something that he didn't do, Ronald punched him in the face. Okay, that's enough. I won't stand for you using my brother as a punching bag.
As Ronald got ready to strike again I walked over and grabbed his arm, forcing him away from my brother and pushing him against a wall.
"Touch my brother again and it will be more than just your hair next time." I tell him.
I quickly undo what I did to his hair and then shove him away from us. He scampers away like the coward I know he is, once he's gone I turn to my brother. He's sitting on the bench clutching his nose. Still furious, I try to calm myself down before walking over to him.
"Alex, can I see what I can do?" I ask him.
He mumbles out a 'Yeah', I point my wand at his nose and whisper excpicy. A crack happens and he moves his hand.
"Thanks." He says.
"Your welcome. I'm sorry he did that to you, if I had know how he would have reacted I wouldn't have done it. Now let's go to class." I tell him.
He nods and heads for the dungeons while I head to charms.
