Chapitre 4: Platform nine and a half
Jon and mordred were dressed in white dress shirts and jeans, as the walked through the station eyes couldn't help but be drawn to the duo. The blonde lion cub drew all the pre teens eyes even though they were in a rush. Her fit figure barely hidden by her red jacket and her tomboyish nature were captivating.
On the other end of the spectrum the young women stared blatantly in an unladylike fashion. His long black hair, muscles concealed under a black hoodie and the scars on his face which seemed to only bring out more appeal were hypnotic for them.
Jon grimaced as he saw one woman literally have a nose bleed when he took a sip from his bottle of water. After they arrived at the 9th platform Jon held up his had to stop mordred. "What?" She asked a little aggrieved.
"I wanna see this, it will be funny" she tilted her head cutely which made a passing student walk into the train doors. "What's gonna be funny" she asked but he simply pointed.
Four students were rushing towards the 9th platform, obviously they were muggleborn. The duo focused their hearing on the group. "Which one is it?" "I dunno Kevin had it memorised" "don't look at me! Ask Katie!" "Nope Jane knows". "I think it was platform 9 and ..... a half. 9 and a half".
Mordred's eyebrows raised and a mischievous glint flashed in them. She looked back at jon with a Cheshire smile adorning her face. "Your a naughty boy jon snow~" she said in a sultry tone but because of her youthful body it came out as more of a tease. Jon secretly prayed to zeus to ensure mordred reaches the same lancer bod as her mother.
The duo looked back in time to see the group of kids act like buffoons. "How are we supposed to get into it?" "Touch it" so one of them walked up and poked the wall. No reaction so another shouted "wait I think we're meant to run into it, the magic only works if we move fast" she whispered the second half of her sentence.
So the five of them sprinted at the stone pillar and slammed into it. One of them knocked himself out and one of the girls had an ecchi moment where she fell on a boys face. Mordred began to roll on the floor laughing.
As the group got up groggily and groaning Jon whistled. "*phwiiiiiiip* hey idiots, 9 and 3/4, maybe that pillar will knock some sense into you". They glared at him and mordred before cautiously jogging into the next pillar over.
"Ahaha ha hah~ that was a good one jon. Shall we enter now?" "Don't you want to see that iconic scene from the movie" her eyes flashed with stars and she nodded. Eventually Harry came waddling in looking as confused as ever. Mordred actually felt the need to go up and help him but jon said to wait and pointed.
"Come along everyone! We have to get to Platform 9 & 3/4! Watch out for muggles, we can't let them know about it!" Bansheed a large ginger woman escorting her herd of weasels. Mordred eyebrow twitched "I know she acted like that in the movie but... with how loud she is people are bound to stare at her. Look some even are!"
Then we watched as Harry flexed his orphan charm to get help. We watched as the twins fazed through the wall. Followed by Ron and Harry then finally molly Weasley. Mordred began to rant to Jon about how absurd that was in real life.
They blurred for a second before they came through the other end of the portal. "Hey so was like that meant to be staged so Harry wound bond with them or something. She was blatantly roaring about the magical community infront of all those muggles". Jon just nodded along until a man in a black cloak approached them.
"Excuse me kids, I couldn't help but overheard what you said. I'm an auror with the ministry, you said someone was shouting about muggles in braid day light." The duo stopped and grinned so jon turned to the magical cop. "Yes sir, that ginger woman who claimed to be a weasely ranted about muggles loudly to her kids. Then she explained about the sacred 28 which a lot of people overheard. We were baffled by how a noble would act so pompously. Isn't that right moe?"
"Yeah it's exactly as you said Jon, you can ask some of the others who passed through". The auror had a serious face so he walked to someone who just entered "excuse me mam, we're the muggles talking about magic on the other side of the wall". The woman who passed looked distressed "yes sir they were, we had to cast a notice me not charm to enter without breaking the law of secrecy." The auror turned back to us "you said a Weasley? Any other identifiable traits."
Jon scratches his chin "yeah she had twin boys" the auror nodded and said "thank you for your assistance, the train will be delayed for five minutes more." And then he stormed off to his companions. The duo grinned before boarding the train and looking for an empty compartment.
We headed to the area where third years would normally be and found an empty room. The first year section was filled with firsties dying to sit down and their older siblings there to assist them.
Jon sat at the window and noticed several aurors walking towards molly weasely who was waving a handkerchief at her boys and scolding/ lecturing them from afar. As they walked up and asked her identity which she complied they read her rites and cuffed her. She began squealing about the injustice of this and how she was an upstanding person.
The other nobles smirked at her while basking in her suffering. That woman was actually the last member of the prewett family so in her youth a lot of drama revolved around which pure blood family she would marry into. Surprisingly she chose a weasely which was one of the largest families due to them breeding like rabbits.
It's why they all have money problems, so many people have access to the family vault that they are effectively robbing each other constantly. But because of wizard stupidity they don't even notice and the goblins just grin about their suffering. While mordred listens to Jon's explanation she couldn't help but shake her head "typical, they let power and privilege go to their heads so much that it's ingrained in their children. This world is surprisingly darker than the movie portrayed Jon".
He nodded and decided to explain about the dark lord dumbledore theory and fan fictions. Mordred just blinked and replied "so your saying that kind old man in the movies may actually be the villain. Should I end him when we arrive?" "I know your joking moe, you know we stick to the script. Here read the occulemency book and form a mental shield. Didn't take me too long with all the mental stuff that comes with frequent life and death battles. The mind palace is the hard one that'll take time. About a month by my estimate".
"K" and then she started using mana to speed up the reading process, the pages became a blur and her eyes went fully sharingan. She memorised the book then closed her eyes. The occulemency book I got specialised in locking the mind so it can't be read. Other volumes contain constructing a mind palace, a mind maze, mental connectivity, improving brain function and improves mana control. Also helps with learning patronus charms and improving intent based spells that rely on certain emotional moments.
We bought all the volumes but the mental shield is the first that we need. Harry basically got all aspects crammed into his head without any time to process the effects of it like the constant recall of memories. So Harry would have gotten PTSD of a traumatic moment due to lack of understanding.
Hermione learnt that series of spells at her leisure in school which improved her memory. She wasn't smart she just had an excellent memory, for exams that felt of regurgitating answers from books occulemency is the literal god send. After learning it you only have to read the book once and meditate every so often.
Both me and mordred have experience on mental calming. The knights watch was a borderline religious practice or at least in my opinion. We were practically monks, except for the whole murder whatever comes through the wall part. Mordred has magic training so she knows how to calm herself.
As she created her mental shield I sat and read over some of the subjects we will be covering in the first year. It's all wand movements and chopped up Latin, so I purchased a book on Latin and memorised it. Once we get to hogwarts I'll get the other volumes of occulemency and similar spells that are overlooked to learn them.
As I enjoyed my book about charms, hexes and spells the door to our compartment opened. A familiar buck toothed girl entered "has anyone seen a toad? A boy named nevil has lost it" she then got mesmerised by us for a split second before focusing on out books.
"Oh about to practice magic? Can I see". I then looked at the book before closing it shut. "Excuse me miss but what's your name and what is the name of the toad?"
She blinked "oh pardon me, my name is hermione granger. The toads name is Trevor" I nodded and stood up before exiting the compartment so I was in the hallway. I saw the old woman walking up with the sweets trolly, I'm a little peckish so I'll buy a few. I drew my wand in preparation for the spell, it's rather handy for casting spells and making my mana move. I assume once I leave this word it will become redundant.
"My name is Jon snow, that's my partner mordred pendragon. Now then Accio Trevor quod bufonem emittut" and with that some girlish squeals happened before glass shattered, the toad came barrelling towards us and had managed to snag a gummy worm into its mouth as it passed over the trolly and into my hand.
I handed him to hermione who looked a little disgusted. She nodded thank you and asked if she could sit with me. I had no qualms with that so I agreed.
She came back ten minutes later with her little trunk and joined me for a conversation. "So hermione, I assume you know some spells also". "Yes I do, my parents bought me quite a few books when we entered Diagon alley. Though they were a little expensive they were interested in learning about magic culture. I began reading them as soon as they were in my hand. I was so excited to learn real magic! What about you jon"
"Well hermione, my family does have magical connections. My brother bran was quite gifted so he taught me about his craft. I also had access to several forms of magical literature which gives me an edge. I'm skilled in battle magic".
She looked enthralled "what is battle magic jon?" "It's using your magic to enhance bodily function to super human levels. Wizards are much more durable than muggles due to having magic in their body. Battle magic is when they consciously use magic to take that trait further." Or at least that's what was explained in some of the books I read in this world.
"Could you teach me?!?" "I'm afraid I can't right now, battle magic needs an in-depth understanding of the body as well as a thoroughly trained one. Look at mordred and you'll see what I mean". Hermione then looks at mordred and noticed her toned arms, calloused hands and muscular stomach. She then looked down at her own and grew embarrassed about having a little baby fat on her tummy.
"You could work out with us a little though I'd recommend building yourself up a little first. Magic becomes more effective the better trained your body is, using magic is like flexing a muscle. The more you do it the better it performs. The body works better as a whole if it is trained equally."
She took my words as gospel, I then said the classic soul eater phrase "a sound mind resides in a sound body and a sound soul resides in a sound mind and body".
After that we continued speaking about magic until we reached the topic of school subject and then the school itself. I then asked her what she knew about the school houses.
"I'm not well informed on those Jon, could you tell me about them." I nodded "they are Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and slytherin. Most are sorted into one of these houses based on their personality traits. Your house dictates your lodging and class schedule as you would share classes with other houses at some point. There is also the house cup but I'm not really informed about that. (Or why it's relevant at all) ".
"Could you tell me about the traits of the houses you mentioned."
"Certainly, first is Gryffindor who are brave, chivalrous, daring, confident, valiant and courageous. Personally I think they're class clowns.
Next is Hufflepuff who are loyal, tolerant, patient, hard working, friendly and dedicated. These are the sociable types and the people who want friends.
Ravenclaw who are wise, intellectual, clever, sharp minded, logical and creative. These are the people who want to experiment with magic and are focused on studying.
Slytherin is cunning, determined, ambitious, resourceful, innovative and accomplished. These guys are normally filled with nobles or people who are a little power hungry.
Your house doesn't really matter that much in my opinion though. It mainly determines the colour of your tie and who your likely to make friends with first. I'm thinking about going to Ravenclaw and I assume mordred wants to go to Gryffindor".
Hermione fell silent before saying "I think I may be suited for Ravenclaw the most, so I'm probably going to aim for that house".
I may have just shot plot in the foot~
