Alfred sighed as Snape and McGonagall, Minnie for short, sat on either side of him. He was slow to eat what was on his plate, causing Minnie's eyes to open wide. She knew that he had been barely eating but this took the icing of of her cupcake that was half Slytherin and half Gryffindor. This one had to be special but why did she feel as if he was hero?
A muggle born student came up up the teacher's table. tears in her eyes. Her siblings, also Gryffindor, followed her. They stood across from him and bowed.
"Thank you so much for saving my family and bringing my dad back! I know that without you, my dad and the rest of the squadron would have been captured and killed. I owe you a life debt as does my family. When we graduate and have money, we will pay you a bunch as thanks or even serve you." She stated, accidentally swearing that Alfred and his family as their Feudal Lord. Everyone there was shocked and wanted to see what would happen. Alfred simply smiled at her. His hand flowed blue and swiped away the magic of the vow, nullifying it.
"It was my pleasure and my sworn duty to keep you safe. I'm sorry about his knee. Remember when I told you that courage and cunning are two sides of the same coin? How about you live a good life. That's payment enough. Seriously. Just live the best life you can. Okay?" The children smiled and went back to their table. Whispers broke out about it.
"How did you get your magic to do that?" Umbitch hissed. Alfred shrugged.
"I was taught how to do it wandless after I was almost killed for being magical. Honestly, the wands hinder your magical flow. Historically speaking, wandless magic has led to longer life spans. Take of instance King Richard the Lion Hearted. He was a Gryffindor who was almost put into Slytherin. He was-" Alfred was cut off by Ivan.
"Alfred. Eat your food before I feed you myself, да?" He smiled, causing Alfred to snort.
"Fine. I'm eating. Happy?" Alfred grumbled as he ate a breakfast that was easy on his stomach. Ivan made a happy sound as conversation started to resume. Then his day became horrible when Umbrella declared that she would sit and observe his classes, which were Muggle History, Alchemy, and a mixed history class. Plus Ivan would be helping. He walked to class like a man walking to a firing squad but the man is actually bullet proof but he had to pretend to be hit by the bullets.
"Now, sit down. Slytherin and Gryffindor will be paired up in groups of two in a moment." Alfred decided to take attendance. He didn't stop on any of the names. It confused them when he started to pair them up. Especially when he called them by their first name, helping them to relax unknowingly.
"Umbridge? Are you here?" Umchicken was fuming. "Please say here if you are here?" The children held in their laughter when Useless answered.
"Now that we are all here, here are your team assignment. No complaining. Slytherin and Gryffindor are two sides of the same coin. Remember, house unity is important and your success in my class depends solely on your ability to work together and conquer the other teams. This is war and everyone is against each other. Your partner is your key to success." Alfred could tell that they didn't like this. He smiled brightly.  He motioned for the hideous pink toad to stand by him. He was a politician and he would use his skills with this crazy person.
"Ivan will be one of the Kings here. I will be another one. My Papa, Francis will be visiting quite often to be another king and assist where necessary. You all haven't met the fourth King, Ludwig. He will be here next week as another assistant. This wonderful and talented woman will be helping teams as our humble DADA professor watches all of us." University smiled happily at being complemented. Alfred was thankful that she was prideful. The kids where listening as they were exited to learn.
"You must figure out why we are kings and the rest of the court. Most of them are in fact students. If you manage to get them to tell you something relating to their kingdoms, you will get extra credit. I will hand out the notes for you to study at the end of class. We will only be using this book as a basic time line. This book hasn't been in circulation for schools for quite a while." Hermione gasped and started to argue but Alfred gave her a look that shut her up. Unicycle got a glare when she was about to comment.
"Now teams. Ron and Patrick. Theodore and Madison. Kennedy and Blaise. Draco and Harry...." After everyone knew their partners, he waved his hand and the chairs moved and morphed into little thrones or stools or beanbags. The kids cheered as they didn't have to walk. The desks vanished. Class was about to begin.
"Now, during your free period today, you and your partner will design or make a flag for your team. It can be a flag that already exists or a unique design. If your group does not work as a team, you could fail my class. Got it?"
"Sir, yes sir!" The students answered cheekily. Alfred smiled.
"Our class is done for the day and you already have your homework. Remember, different sides of the same coin!" Alfred's excitement made the students excited to have his class.
