Chapter Text
“Are you excited, Max? We’re getting, not one, not three, but two new students today!” Max looked up at the adult next to him, as though expecting him to be acting as excited as he sounded. They were standing outside the gates of a massive castle, the adult eagerly watching the sky while Max looked forward, seemingly bored to be there.
“Oh yeah, I’m just sooooo excited to have more pain in the arse students running around the fucking school. If either are in my house, I’ll Avada Kedavra you AND the entire school.” The older of the two gasped overdramatically and pointed a scolding finger at the student.
“Mr. Mars! Watch that mouth of yours, if not, I’ll be forced to deduced points from your house, and you know I hate taking points away.”
“Suck my dick, David.” Max spat, glaring as he insulted the teacher.
“That’s it, one point off due to your foul mouth. Also, you know the rules, call me Professor Elm.” With a mischievous grin, Max put on an innocent face.
“You’re right, Professor, I’m sorry…” David bent down and pat the boy’s fluffy hair softly.
“Awe, it’s ok, Max, as long as you’re sorry. 10 points to-”
“Sorry, you’re such a fucking pussy.”
“MAX!” Before David could continue his rant, slight screaming could be heard in the distance. Looking up, David spotted a skeletal, winged horse flying towards them. There was an old man sitting in the front, a girl cheering as the horse dove down, and a screaming boy hanging on the end of its tail. David gasps loudly, completely turning away from Max, forgetting the whole discussion, and pointed at the creature.
“They’re here!” He ran towards the winged monster as it approached. “WELCOME TO HO- AAAAAAAAAAAAAH” His greeting being interrupted when the creature ran into David, knocking him to the ground violently.
“Kids are here.” The old man on the front of the horse pointed behind him at the kids. David got up rubbing his head, backing away from the horse with caution.
“Th-thank you, Quartermaster.” QM hopped off the horse with ease, pointing his wand at the kids, mumbling a chant, and they began to float off the creatures. While the girl whined when she was pulled off the creature, the boy almost cried in deight to finally be on the ground. When both kids were on the ground safely, QuarterMaster grabbed the monster’s reigns.
“I’m takin’ my break, start’d gettin’ tired makin’ sure the kids didn’ die. Be back by noon.” The QM walked off into the woods with the creature, leaving the Teacher and students by the gates. David looked down at the green haired girl who was wearing what seemed to be a tattered, patched up cloak, but seemed to be brand new at the same time.
“Well, hello, little lady! You must be Nikki Jones, my name is David Elm, you’re new profess-” When David put his hand out to shake the girl’s hand, she instantly bit down onto it. He began screaming, attempting to shake her off with no avail.
“Uhm… excuse me?” The boy piped up from behind the girl. Everyone, including Nikki, froze and looked at him. “What was that?” He gestured in the direction that the QM headed off to. Before David could answer, Nikki released herself from David’s hand.
“A creature, obviously, aren’t you from a wizarding family?” she asked.
“Yeah, but I don’t know EVERYTHING about magic, that’s kinda why we’re at school, Nik.” The boy responded.
“Well, I’ll be glad to tell you that what you were riding was a creature called a Thestral. It’s a skeletal horse with bat-like wings. They’re invisible to some, and visible to others, it all depends.”
“Depends on wh-” the boy began before being cut of by David.
“While deemed dangerous by the Ministry, Thestrals can in fact be tamed, and prove to be kind, gentle creatures-”
“Holy shit, David, you’re gonna bore them to death before their classes even start.” Max threw a pebble at the Teacher, who gave him a disapproving look before turning his attention to the last kid.
“That makes you Neil Faunus, right? Well, welcome to your new school! I’m David Elm, or Professor Elm, and I’ll be your transfiguration teacher! I also do herbology classes. I hope you enjoy it here as much as I did when I was a student!” After David finished, Nikki immediately shot her hand up.
“Questions already? What is it, Nikki?”
“What school is this again?” David blinked at her.
“Um, what?”
“Her mom tried to take us to a different school before this and it had some fancy french name and when we transferred here, their accent was so thick we had no idea where we were sent off to. We just kinda followed along with them.” Neil explained.
“Must be those bastards from Beauxbatons Academy of Magic. The fact that you survived almost a year with those fuckers is a surprise, honestly.” Max commented while he began to play with the ends of his sleeves, pulling out a needle and thread, and began to sew the front of his cloak together to look like a hoodie.
“Max! What did we say about A) swearing B) insulting other schools and C) sewing your cloak together? For doing three out of five thing that specifically you are not supposed to do, three points from-”
“Suck my dick, David, now are you going to answer their question or not?”
“Professor Elm,” He corrected before turning to the new students, “You are at the greatest school out off all wizarding schools in the world! Welcome to Hogwarts!”
