Harry Potter And The Dual Lord

After they finished eating the two new friends decided to get out of the hall. On their way out they came across Karol, who then decided to follow them.

Arthur was happy he had found those two people among the Slytherin. Peter was the rash kind of guy, as a friend Arthur would call him brave, other would call him foolish. But what Arthur liked the most with him is that he is honest and always says what he thinks.

In less than an hour being together, he had already brought up 'problems' that Arthur had without any fear. Thinking of that Arthur scoffed 'Me, being arrogant and cold? Not my fault the sheep is sheep...'

On the other hand, Karol was much more reserved. At first she hesitated to talk with Arthur. Normally this would annoy him but this time it didn't because Karol wasn't lie that because of his name, she just was a quiet girl who did that to everyone.

The group of three were hanging out in the castle when they heard someone wailing. They rushed there and came across a peculiar scene.

Elena, the beautiful princess, was beating up a teenager on the ground. As they approached she turned to them and said "Arthur, what brings you here?"

Arthur smiled and said "What might he have done?" Arthur was surprised because this wasn't a Slytherin student who was getting beaten up but a Gryffindor one.

Elena arranged her slightly messed up hair and said "He was really brave, trying to touch this princess…"

Arthur smiled and said "Stop putting on airs, talk normally. Want to come with us or not?"

Arthur didn't ask the other two if they were okay with it but decided they would. Weren't they his friends?

Elena looked at the two Slytherins and asked "Are they your lackeys?" Arthur shook his head and said "No, they are my friends. Really."

Elena nodded and kicked the Gryffindor one last time before coming with them. And like that, a new group of friends was formed.

Peter had no problem with her as he believed Arthur wouldn't be her friend if she was like the rumors said, and Karol didn't mind having another girl in the group.

The four continued hanging out in the school, exploring it for an hour before they had to go to their first class, Transfiguration.

The group of four had now an approximate understanding of the school's layout and thus easily arrived on time in the class.

Once in they discovered they had to sit in pairs. Arthur sat next to Peter while the girls sat juts behind them.

Other than them the class was almost full, only missing a few students and the professor. Though there was a cat on the desk. And Arthur knew it was the professor.

Few minutes passed and the bell ringed. As soon as it did the cat jumped from the desk and transformed into McGonagall mid air.

Everyone in the class gasped, be it the Slytherins or the Gryffindors, they were impressed by their teacher's skills.

She looked at the two empty seats and asked "Does anyone know where Mr Potter and Mr Weasley are?" The Gryffindor all shook their heads and Malfoy said "Probably broke his neck in the stairs."

A few Slytherins laughed but McGonagall caught on his remark "Mr Malfoy you can't speak ill f your classmates like this. 5 points from Slytherin."

The students were stunned and Draco was outraged. He was about to retort but Peter who was coincidentally behind him slapped the back of his head and said "Shut up you moron!"

Draco looked back with fury and was about to curse at him but then he saw Arthur was there too. He clenched his fists and turned back, shutting up.

McGonagall looked at Peter and Arthur curiously, but she was glad the boy had found a friend. It meant he wasn't as cold as she thought.

If Arthur had stayed alone and disregarded everyone else then the teachers and Dumbledore would have been worried about the rise of another Dark Lord and possibly taken precautions, but seeing the boy wasn't ice cold with everyone she thought that maybe the boy wasn't that dark.

Minerva looked at the rest of the students and said "Transfiguration is a very powerful branch of magic that will help you transfigure yourself or your surroundings in completely new things. Here's an example."

McGonagall transformed back and forth into cat and human forms. She then said "This is a very advanced magic called 'Animagus' that can only be casted by few. 7 are registered in Britain."

The students were impressed by what she said but Arthur was mostly amused at the self praising. He would most certainly have done the same though.

McGonagall continued "Today we won't do any practical lessons, but some about knowledge. Open your books at page 14."

Everyone opened their books and took out parchments. Then they began writing using their quills. But Arthur was quickly annoyed by the fact he had to dip his quill into the ink all the time. He thus decided his object he would manufacture would be a quill with endless ink in it.

Ten minutes in the class and one Arthur ready to blow up, Harry and Ron finally arrived in the room. They thought they had been lucky as they only saw a car on McGonagall's desk.

Arthur looked at Harry who looked back and slightly waved. Arthur smiled and nodded. He knew Harry, so he expected him not to reach out to him. And honestly he wasn't even angry about it. He knew how much the magical world counted for Harry and that he wouldn't risk losing it for Arthur.

The two were scolded a little by Minerva who surprised them but they were only late so they didn't lose points and just warned.

At the end of the class McGonagall asked several questions about what they studied during the class to make sure they understood. Only Hermione raised her hand in the class as most didn't know or just didn't care.

They regretted though when McGonagall gave Hermione points. Had they known it would award house points the Slytherins who knew the answers would have raised their hands. Well except Arthur as he didn't care about the house cup.

Next was the Magical History class with professor Binns, a ghost. This class wasn't a shared one like the transfiguration one.

Like this, a whole week went by. Arthur and his friends had attended all the 7 core subjects at least once. Arthur first thought he would be bored during those classes due to his knowledge he learned with Merlin, but he actually learned a lot of things.

Many thought of the Magical History as a boring lesson as there was literally no practice, but Arthur was interested by it as he would probably learn a lot about things that would help him in the future. There are lots of dungeon like things in the wizard world, mostly tombs that were protected by wards.

During those moments his knowledge on History could probably save him. Other than History, the core subjects are Transfiguration, Charms, Potions, Defense Against the Dark Arts, Astronomy and Herbology.

Transfiguration and Charms were the worst and yet even in them Arthur learned things. This made him realize that even though he had huge amounts of knowledge, he could still learn at Hogwarts.

There would also be flying lessons, but they would only start next week.

Now, it was the week end and they had no classes. Actually classes in Hogwarts were particularly long as there would only be 2 different ones a day, and they would start at 8.30am and finish at 4.15pm.

Night had come and Arthur was in the common room, alone and reading a book about runes. As he was engrossed in his book he suddenly heard footsteps.

He looked and saw Elena coming in the common room. What could she possibly want?
