章 8: Damian Sunder
As the first-year boys open their eyes for their first day at Hogwarts, they hear a grunt.
Turning towards the origin of the noise, they see Malakai doing squats with a metal bar on his shoulders.
The muggle-born children know this piece of equipment as a barbell, one of the children looks at him with an amused grin.
The boy with messy brown hair, fair skin, and green eyes, walks over to the boy everyone ignores, "Hey, do you mind if I borrow that when you're done with it?"
The brown-haired boy doesn't try to hide the fact that he's staring at Malakai's scars.
'47... 48... 49... 50', putting the barbell down, he looks at the boy and holds out his hand, "Malakai"
The boy shakes his hand with a strong grip matching Kai's, "Damian, I'm a muggle-born, my family owns a gym, so i know my way around a barbell"
Kai nods, "if you brought up the fact that your a Muggle to see if i would show disgust then don't worry, i actually think muggles are the future of the wizarding world"
Damian does some quick stretches before lifting the barbell with no weights on it, only so find it quite heavy, "It's enchanted", he hears the blue-eyed boy say from beside him.
He laughs, "Cool", using his full strength, he lifts the bar and starts doing curls.
"Why do you think muggles are better for the future?", he says in between breaths.
Sitting on his bed, Kai wipes the sweat covering his body, something he appreciated about the boy currently lifting his weights was that he didn't ask about his scars even though it was obvious that he was curious.
"I've traveled to several countries and visited other places run by witches and wizards, the world has moved on but Hogwarts and magical Britain as a whole is stuck in the old days, not just in terms of technology but laws, hygiene, and shitty leaders"
"We let the weak lead the strong then wonder where we went wrong, instead of pointing out our flaws and becoming stronger, we hide them and become a weaker society in the process... apologies, i went on a bit of a rant there", he says with a quiet laugh.
Hearing the clang of the barbell hitting the ground, he looks up at the muscular eleven-year-old that sports a six-pack.
Damian sits on a wooden chair across from him, "i agree with you, when i found out i was a wizard, i was ecstatic but the more i looked and learned about this new world, it almost made me want to go back to my old life"
Hearing a prefect shout for them, Kai uses some deodorant he picked up on his travels and offers it to his new exercise buddy, who takes it with a grateful nod.
After getting dressed quickly but making sure to look good, he leaves the hovel that is the Hufflepuff common room.
Walking through the halls with Damian beside him, looking over, he sees him looking over the timetable, "We have Transfiguration first with Ravenclaw"
Damian puts the piece of paper away with a nod, "I read as much as i could on magic in the month that i had before coming here, it's a lot to pack into your head"
Reaching the classroom of Minerva McGonagall, he stops his new... friend... the concept of having a friend was an unknown one to him, he had friends in his previous life but that was eleven years ago.
"Sit next to me, if you need any pointers just ask", Damian thanks him then sits at the front of the class.
Seeing Minerva in her cat form looking at him, Kai walks over to her, picking her up in his arms and cradling her, he pets her affectionately.
As the rest of the students take their seats, he hears a student ask, "where is the teacher?"
Looking down at the cat when it meows, he gives her a knowing smile before putting her on his desk.
Jumping off of the desk and turning into her original body, the class looks at her with wide eyes but not all that shocked since they have seen Malakai do it.
Seeing that she didn't get the reaction she wanted, she starts the lesson, "on your desks, you will see a matchstick, with the wand movement that i will now show you, you will turn it into a needle"
[Author's Note: i can't find the spell for this anywhere, so we're just going to pretend that it has to be done only using wand movement and intent]
Malakai goes first, turning the match into a perfect metal needle with a sharp tip and intricate patters over its body.
"Twenty points for Hufflepuff", she says before going to watch other students.
Standing from his desk, he heads over to Hufflepuffs side of the class and gets everyone's attention,
"All of you look my way, I'm going to go over the wand movement slowly and help you should you need it", like a parent teaching his kids, he helps each of them change their matchstick in some way or another.
Giving compliments at their hard work and encouragement to try harder, he slowly worms his way into their hearts, even if it's only slightly.
Thanks to his advice, he was awarded ten more house points and several of his classmates including Damian were able to completely change the match.
Leaving the classroom, he was followed by several other people that wanted to ask him questions about magic and didn't seem to be afraid of him anymore.
Hearing a scuffle and some raised voices while walking through the halls, Kai and Damian turn and head towards them.
Turning the corner they see a Slytherin prefect having "fun" by attacking and humiliating a Hufflepuff first year,
With a wave of his hand, the prefect gets thrown away, smashing against the wall behind him with a violent thud.
"Damian, take the girl and take her to our head of house", Damian was about to object but feeling the bloodlust coming from the boy, he quickly picks the girl up and runs off.
Now, isolated with the prefect, a savage smile spreads across his face, "let's send the rest of your house a message, shall we"
Taking the older boy's wand, he snaps it in half before throwing it away, "I learned quite a few spells on my travels, let's try this one"
--- Ten Minutes Later ---
Walking into the classroom for Magical History, he takes a seat next to Damian, "is the girl okay?"
"Yeah, she's all good, what happened to the prefect?", his question was answered with a gentle smile from Kai before the class started.
The class was quite boring but he saw that his friend took an interest in it, the class was interrupted however when Miss Sprout entered the class, "Malakai, come with me please"
Following the professor who stayed silent, they arrived in Dumbledore's office, waiting for him was McGonagall, Snape, Flitwick, and Dumbledore sitting comfortably in his chair.
Sitting in the seat opposite the elderly man, Albus starts the conversation, "Do you know what you're here for?"
He shrugs and yawns, "to name me the king of Hogwarts?"
Snape interjects, "Ten points from Hufflepuff and detention, brat"
The boy's playful smile turns to the emo professor, "you want to play games, Snivellus, let's see who wins, maybe I'll notify the student body of that mark you keep hidden"
"You little-", his words are stopped by Dumbledore, "Enough!"
He turns to the old man with the cocky smile still on his face, "is it your turn, Gandalf"
The old man's eyes show confusion at the name, "we're here to talk about a sensitive matter, a boy was found in the Hogwarts Express last night with broken legs, he claims it was you... is that true?"
Placing his hand on his heart theatrically, he gasps, "What, i would never do such a thing, i am a Hufflepuff", he says while trying to hold in his laughter but failing miserably.
Red-faced Minerva slams her hand onto the table, "this is not a laughing matter, you broke a boy's legs"
Looking up at the woman that praised him earlier, "Do you want me to scratch you behind the ear again, it felt good, right?"
Albus waves his hand, "leave us, I'll talk to him alone"
As the teachers leave in a huff of anger, the boy and the old man stare at each other until Malakai speaks.
"Can i have a lemon drop?"
[In case there are people wondering why he's acting this way, worry not, it's all a part of his plan]
[Hope You Enjoyed!]
