Orion ended up not talking with Merlin for the next 2 days after he learned about his so-called test. He was honestly angry, it was a hard decision for him to make and sacrifice most of his magic just to save Daphne's sister, and later he learned that Merlin was just joking.
After sending the potion to cure Astoria, Orion stayed at Newt's house for that night.
When he opened his eyes the next day, he found himself sleeping on a soft queen size bed, he couldn't even remember when he fell asleep considering just how much he was angry and tired yesterday.
So much so that he didn't even realise that he slept for an entire day. Only when he again got out of the small room, he found that out.
Walking in the main hall, he looked around but Newt was not there, he only found a letter from Newt.
"Dear Orion,
I am sorry but leave like this but there is an urgent reason I have to leave.
I will advise you to go back to Britain as soon as possible and don't let anyone else know about you being here. Things are not good here in the States," Orion read and narrowed his furrow.
Merlin also saw this but didn't say anything, Orion was still not talking to him.
Later, Orion found a newspaper around the house and only then he realized what was going on.
'A Terrorist attack in the US Ministry of Magic,' Orion read and quickly read through the article.
While he was sleeping, something he found himself doing a lot after absorbing that dragon for some reason, the US Ministry of Magic was under attack.
Someone infiltrated the ministry and besides killing many of the officers and staff members, stole something from the ministry. Something which is not mentioned here.
He was not sure why but he remembered that girl he met the day before yesterday when he first came to her.
He knew something was not right with her. But he just shook his head and got serious.
The situation was not looking good for him, thinking that he had come here illegally, and he would become the prime suspect if others knew about him.
"I need to get the Fu*k out of here," Orion said and got to action.

(2 days later)
Orion had to stay under the radar and came to Britain by stealing a private jet. It was pretty hard but finally, he was standing in front of the Hogwarts building.
Watching all the students moving around he realized that he was already late for breakfast.
Thanks to Red, he was able to directly teleport near Hogwarts and then with the help of his fast broom, he was here before the first day of normal classes restarted.
Without wasting time, Orion rushes inside to his dorm, he really wants to get a bath and needs something to eat before the class starts again.
----
[So finally you calm down] Merlin said as Orion got something to eat. He thought that he was late but actually, he was pretty early when he rushed to get something to eat in the hall, not watching anyone arrive there yet.
After devouring enough food for a dragon army, only then he finally relaxed and calmed down.
'I am still angry at you but yeah,' he replied while still focusing more on food.
[Well I already explained to you why I did what I did so I won't talk about it. But considering that you completed a task is almost impossible. I think that you have earned the right to learn something cool] Merlin said with a smile on his face.
This makes Orion's eyes lid up like stars in the moonless night. He immediately perked up and looked at him with anticipation.
"What," but just as quickly he also put on his poker face and asked.
[Well you almost have learned the law of Space. But you use this law just like force still now. Good for your day-to-day use but not so much for fighting. Last time when you fought that Dragon it was apparent that you lack attack power right now. So how about I teach you how to use this law to attack and while we are at this, let also learn Shinra Tensei, consider it my way to make it up to you] Merlin said with a knowing smile.
Orion by this was already wide eyes, it was finally happening. He finally can become that cool OP character in the anime.
This motivated him and made him eat even faster.
----
By the time other students came by, the house elf was struggling to supply enough food for Orion alone. Something makes them feel that they are not going to have an easy time from now on.
Orion too didn't know why his appetite again had skyrocketed like this, but he knew that this had something to do with absorbing that dragon.
He made a mental note to eat before anyone came from now on if he really didn't want to get dragged out of Hogwarts on the pretext of emptying out the food cellar on his own.
"Orion" came an excited voice of one Rose Potter. The poor girl was bored out of her mind when she was the only one left behind in Hogwarts out of all her friends. Well, Ron was here but, he is Ron.
He saw the beautiful and cute redhead quickly approaching him with a happy expression.
Smiling back he said. "You are in a good mood, Ms Potter."
"Oh of course I am, you have no idea how bored I was when you were gone. I had nobody to talk to," Rose said while sitting down beside him.
"Oh, so you were missing me, is that it," he found a chance to tease her and act on it.
Rose finding what she just said, blushed and firmly denied it with a cute pout on her face.
"Huff, who is missing you. What I mean is that I was bored when none of my friends were here," Rose said acting like she didn't care about him and trying to not blush.
"Oh, so you didn't miss me. Shame, I missed you so much, I am the idiot who thought you cared about me." Orion said with a sorrowful look on his face and shook his head a while returning back to his food.
Rose fell for it.
"No no no, I mean I missed you but you know, no like how you .... I mean I care about you it's just that ...." She immediately panics.
[This guy is a good actor, that's for sure]
"Oh come on, he is teasing you, Rose. Don't fall for his tricks," Came the voice of their residential bookworm.
Hermione appeared out of nowhere and sat on the other side of Orion.
"Oh Hermione, how are you? How has been your Christmas," He asked looking at the Emma Watson look-alike? But not exactly like Emma Watson, she only resembles her a bit.
"Good, I spent most of the time with my parents and it was lovely," Hermione smiled and reply.
Tab
Rose just hit him on the head, after realizing he was teasing her and pouted. "Forget it, I didn't miss you at all," Rose said while looking away.
"haha,"
[Heads up] Orion was about to say something more but just then Merlin said this and the next moment someone almost jumped on him.
He was immediately tense and with magic bubbling inside him, he was about to use force to push this person, but before that, he felt something.
A soft sensation on his lips, and a warm and soft feeling on top of his chest.
Both Rose and Hermione were wide mouths, the entire hall which was the epitome of chaos a second ago got calm as a serene lake.
'Lavender,' Orion smelled and his lips were captured by another set of warm and tasty lips, not letting him go while the arms of the person clenched onto him like crazy.
[And who says saving a damsel in distress doesn't work] Merlin smirked.
