September first, Argus had been looking forward to this day, but he was also dreading it.

The Ministry allowed Argus to stay at his home at Diagon Alley. However, in order to keep the shop, it had to still be open and running. So Polina volunteered to take care of the shop when Argus was gone off to school.

The shop doorbell rang as the Minister entered. "Good morning Argus. Are you ready? Exciting day, isn't it?" He chimed.

"Yeah... " Polina and Argus had already said their little goodbye yesterday when they went for a walk. "How are we going there, sir?" He asked curiously as some people in suits took Argus's luggage out.

"Well, Argus, I'm glad you asked. Have you heard of a muggle technology called cars?"

"Yes. Some wizards use it too but they enchant it so that it drives by itself. Some actually learn how to drive it but they can't as in the muggle world, they need a license." Argus said proudly. The Minister looked a little surprised.

"Yes, I see you are indeed rather knowledgable. Well, we will be using cars to go there, Argus. it was provided for you as it is the only way to transport you there without getting weird looks." 

The Minister and Argus walked out of the shop and out of the Leaky Cauldron into the busy muggle world where a black car awaited them.

They reached his school and Argus got out of the car. A man that Argus assumed was the headmaster of the school greeted them.

"You must be Argus? Well, your trunks will be sent up to your dorm. Shall we go inside?" Argus nodded and they headed their way into the school and towards the headmaster's office.

"Now, Your uncle told me that you were originally homeschooled, so let me tell you some of the simple rules of the school. You must pay respect to your classmates and teachers. You must complete homework and hopefully make some good friends. This school will be like your home. I hope that you will enjoy your years here. And if you're able to cope up rather well, we can allow you to skip a year. You are currently in year 9 and if you do extremely well you can skip to year 11 where you will have a very important exam called GCSEs. Any questions?" Argus shook his head.

"Very well. Here is your timetable," the headmaster handed Argus a small paper. "You can head off to your dorm after you have a tour of the school. I trust I have assigned a student for you already. His name is Jamie Hyde." The headmaster gave Argus a kind smile and Argus headed his way out of the office.

Outside of his office stood a dashing young lad. He seemed to be neat and professional as he had his hair gelled up and his uniform was neatly worn. He was fiddling with his wristwatch when he saw Argus.

"You must be Argus?" he asked. His voice seemed rather casual.

"Yes. Jamie?" and the boy nodded. The two boys then headed their way around the school.
