nPOV Reo(Edgar)

nThe start of this session was apparently quite normal except the first day we arrived in Hogwarts. After the dinner I have been immediately called into Headmaster's office. I was kind of expecting that since I was quite sure that Ol Twinkles won't allow someone like me roam around freely in his school...

nFLASHBACK

nAfter the dinner, the four of us. Me, Momo, Rumi & Luna were directly heading towards the dormitories. A prefect informed me that Professor Flitwick had asked me to meet in Headmaster's office. The girl's wanted to join in including Luna as she had never seen Headmaster's office and she was really curious.

n

"No need, I will be fine and Luna I will take you someday later, when Dumbles would have left the office

" I said to the girls. Momo and Rumi nodded and agreed, Luna thought for a few seconds before happily nodding her head.

nAfter separating from the group, I went directly towards the Headmaster's office. Professor Flitwick was already waiting for me there and was looking at me slightly warily. He must have seen the duel... I don't see any other reason that makes him wary of me. I won't put it past Ol Twinkles that he had shown the memory of duel to everyone to get everyone against me...

n

"Hello, Professor, how have you been?

" I asked Flitwick. He was one of the Professors I liked, and honestly, I didn't mind him getting wary of me as it would be common since I am near other students after all.

n

"It has been a calming and nice holiday... only Merlin knows how much I needed it. Now, let's go inside, the others are waiting

" Flitwick said returning to his usual quirky personality. Did he just say, others? Maybe all the Professors or other Head of the Houses. I should have checked the portrait before coming here... well, who cares.

nFlitwick gave a password to the Gargoyle, the Gargoyle moved past. I could have gained access even without giving a password but that would have drawn unnecessary attention towards me. Me and Flitwick arrived in front of the door and Flitwick was about to knock when

"Come in

" was heard from inside. Of course,... there are runes to notify him. I shrugged while Flitwick opened the door and I followed him inside. Like I had thought... only the Head of The Houses were here.

n

"Edgar, my boy, it's nice of you to join us, please take a seat

" Ol Twinkles greeted me and offered me a seat, honestly, I hate it when he says 'Edgar, my boy' and all. It's really annoying and gets on my nerves...

"Lemon Drop?

" Dumbles asked me gesturing towards the bowl containing Lemon Drops.

n

"No, thank you and I would appreciate if you remain formal with me

" I said and leaned back on the chair. Dumbles looked like he had eaten a sour lemon while Minnie Gi seemed her usual self. Hearing me Slughorn had a huge grin on his face... and Flitwick & Sprout looked slightly worried.

n

"Ah... can we skip these smaller details. I think there is something more important to discuss

" Fumbledork said, trying to dismiss my argument. I decided not to give him a reply regarding this matter and the battle of wills began. None of us said anything... the first one to speak anything would lose. I know it's stupid... but it's kind of has a subconscious level of effect.

nBoth me and Dumbles kept staring at each other, the other Professors also knew what was happening and decided to stay out of it. I found it quite surprising that Minnie Gi didn't take the first chance to defend the Old Goat. Yes, I have heard from Nemuri that Minnie Gi and the other Head of the Houses have changed but it seems that it was really true. Fumbledork finally sighed and shook his head in a disappointed grandfatherly manner.

n

"I am truly disappointed in you… I just wanted to ask where did you learn the spells you used in the duel?

" Fumbledork said in a manner that I have done some crime or a have kicked his puppy.

n

"Honestly, I can't bring myself to care that you are disappointed in me, and Headmaster Dumbledore, I don't see that you have any right to know, where I learnt those spells

" I said in a firm voice. I clearly saw a gleam appear in his eyes even it was just for a moment. I clearly found that Slughorn didn't like Albus… Minnie Gi still had her stony expression on her face. Flitwick and Sprout were completely worried now but they still didn't intervene and stayed back.

n

"You will find it well within my right to ask you that as I am the Headmaster of this school

" Ol Twinkles leaned on his table and said. The usual Twinkles in his damn eyes was completely gone now… his grandfatherly tone was also gone as he spoke to me in hardened voice.

n

"No. If you do that then you are interfering in the matters of a Most Ancient and Most Noble House's business. I don't a single scenario where you would end up with a good result

" I said in my usual firm tone. Hearing me, Dumbles leaned back in his chair and seemed to contemplate something. Finally, he released a sigh and got ready to speak again… he was back in his grandfather act.

n

"I am afraid that you are going dark… you are so young and yet you blood on your hands. I am simply worried for you and the other students in this school

" he said in a disappointed voice and the damn eye twinkle was back.

n

"I am afraid you are wrong here Headmaster, it was a battle to death. It was either him and me… and truly believe me I have hundred ways to kill someone using… what you call light spell and you don't have to worry about other students, after all I have been here for two years and nothing have happened

" I said while nodding my head. I let my words sink in his head… he was immediately alarmed that I could discuss about killing someone so easily. The other Professors were also alarmed… unable to keep quiet Flitwick finally spoke up.

n

"Ah, excuse me for interrupting, but you said you could kill someone with light spells. I kind of fail to understand it

" Flitwick spoke genuinely curious. I was somewhat disturbed hearing this… he is the Professor of charms. He should know the spells himself… I knew that Magical people are stupid but this is something unimaginable… Minnie Gi, Sprout, and Slughorn also looked interested.

n

"Levitation spell, levitate someone in the air… about 20 meters and then stop the charm. Congrats, you have a dead body in your hands. Conjure a lance and banish it on someone… diffindo on neck, confrindo, on neck, bombarda on upper body, reducto on head or neck… I can keep going if you want

" I said, all the Head of the Houses looked completely dumbfounded along with the Old Goat. I am pretty sure that none of them had thought of using those spells like this and I found it really disturbing…

nNobody in the room spoke for a few minutes, I was just using this time to look around the room after all the portrait I had didn't have that kind of field of view. The Professors and the Headmaster contemplated for a few minutes before they decided to speak up.

n

"But still… I find it really hard to keep you in the school if you don't change your ways

" it was Ol Twinkles who spoke first. I found it really annoying… His need to control everyone is getting out of hands.

n

"I am sorry Headmaster but I think you are mistaking something here

" I said in my usual firm tone. Ol Twinkles immediately got curious and leaned on the table looking quite interested at what I was going to say.

n

"You are forgetting that who owns the school

" this is what I needed to say and Ol Twinkles leaned back on his chair looking completely lost and pale. Slughorn had a rather smug grin on his face. Minnie Gi looked at me appraisingly while Flitwick and Sprout looked really worried now. I used legilimency to read their surface thoughts… and found that their worry was genuine. They were worried what would happen if I happen to retaliate to some student's attack.

n

"You don't have to worry… I am not going to attack someone on my own and if isn't for my safety I won't be attacking them. I would let the teachers decide their punishments

" I said, this seemed to ease, Minnie Gi, Flitwick, and Sprout but Dumbles wasn't happy with just this but he didn't seem to say anything more at least not now… when he knew that he had already lost.

n

"If that's all, may I take my leave?

" I asked our respected Headmaster who reluctantly nodded his head when he found no support from the Head of the Houses. With that I got up and left his room… immediately after walking past the Gargoyle I Flash Stepped into my room and activated the portrait to see if anything was going on or not. Apparently, after I left the room the others also walked out…

nFLASHBACK END

nThe days kept going on without any more interruption from our esteemed Headmaster. It was the final day of the term. The Christmas Holidays was about to start tomorrow. There was an odd thing I noticed that Theodore Nott son of Lord Nott have tried to approach me several times but have backed away seeing the others around me. I didn't know what he wanted but he looked kind of nervous and both grateful, another thing to ponder on a later date…
