I had asked her to get me a book on certain subjects promising to pay her back, but from the looks of it, she had chosen the most expensive books in an attempt to get me indebted to her. She probably thought I didn't even have enough for a single book let alone all of them.
"It should all be there, and here, for the trouble," I said, handing her two Galleons.
She looked like she wanted to say something but with others around she decided to wisely stay silent. Still she pocketed the pouch and the two extra Gallons. "You are just full of surprises aren't you Charles," she said grudgingly.
"I aim to please," I replied smiling before turning to the two Slytherins upperclassmen, they weren't from Purebloods so most likely half-bloods. Taking two Galleons I looked to them, "Could I trouble you to bring those books to Ravenclaw Tower, I'll be sure to reward you once you return."
I could see them salivating at the appearance of the golden coins.
"S-sure."
"A-anything for a friend of Greengrass."
They didn't need any more prompting as they basically tripped over themselves to complete their mission.
Turning back to the blonde I couldn't help but comment, "They're well trained."
Daphne seemed to be put off by my taking over her minion, "Apparently not well enough."
"Ah, don't be like that Princess, this could be the start of a beautiful partnership."
"Partnership huh?"
"Yes, perhaps we can take a walk around the lake to reestablish our new friendship?"
"Hmm? Perhaps?" she said coyly.
"Then after you, Princess?"

Just like that the first month was over. I'd like to think that I had made outstanding progress in the short time I've been here.
I've established myself as one of the smartest students in my year, I had managed to befriend Hermione, I gained popularity by joining the Quidditch team, I made a connection with the Slytherins, and I've established a trading route to the outside world through Daphne.
She would use her new connection to get me anything I wanted as long as I was willing to pay and in exchange, I would offer my services. It would be simple for her since her family owned a small trading company. Though the exact legality of their products might be up for question, if you catch my drift.
I now had dirt on everyone in the school, all except the teachers of course since their levels were too high for me to see, thought that would change in time.
Everything was going perfectly.
It was for this reason why I had grown cautious. Things normally don't go this smoothly, no matter how well you plan.
Maybe I was just jumping at shadows, but I couldn't help feeling as if something would appear to throw a wrench in my plans.
Well nothing a little alchemical fire couldn't fix.

"Good, make sure to keep that core tight," Robert instructed as I went down for another pushup.
It was 7 AM but the team had been running drills for an hour already.
The other beater, a fourth year Ravenclaw named Simon, collapsed beside me.
Robert moved over to him, "Hey! I didn't say you could stop! You still have 5 more reps!"
"C-can't, anymore," Simon said, completely drenched in sweat.
Robert scowled at the poor teen and pointed at my direction, "You're giving up already. Look at Bell over there, he's done the same amount as you, and he doesn't even look winded! Isn't that right Bell!"
"I don't know, I could take a bre-"
"See! Cool as a cucumber! Now get down there and give me a another ten!"
I looked at the boy's struggling face, thinking how weak normal wizards were.
While it was true that magic did boost a wizard's vitality, allowing them to survive great falls or even deadly poisons that would kill normal people in seconds, the same could not be said for their strength.
Thanks to all this additional training I had finally reached STR 20 earlier this week, which would be the pinnacle of strength for normal people.
I could lift about 500 pounds over my head with mild ease. Though even that much was nothing when compared to Hagrid who had an astonishing STR of 115.
Finishing the rest of my pushups I got up, and went to the weight rack, picking up a thirty-pound dumbbell.
A beater needed to have a lot of upper body and core strength since they had to hit back the bludgers which all traveled at 60 mph. As such, they needed to be the most athletic members in the team. Usually this meant that they were the brawniest of the bunch.
I was giving it my all, since a new quest had appeared on the first day of training.
[Quidditch Cup Glory]
[Show everyone just how amazing you truly are by winning the quidditch cup.
Completion award: EXP 150,000
Increase closeness with Ravenclaw House
Random Skill Book
Ankle Bracelets of Flying
Completion Failure: None]
The amount of experience was nothing to scoff at, plus the random skill book and ankle bracelets both seemed interesting.
With my current skills it should be enough. All I had to do was take out the other team's seeker first and then make sure that our team accumulated enough points to secure the win even without the snitch. I just had to remember to control my strength in order to not kill anyone.
Our first match would be against the Hufflepuff team, right after Gryffindor vs Slytherin. Quidditch season would begin in November so we were only a couple weeks away.
On another pleasant note, I had become the undisputed leader of this year's Ravenclaws.
