I slept for the first time in year, I usually just meditated but in a dorm that would just draw attention. I had plans to transfigure and heavily enchant my bed but that would have to wait until I had all the needed knowledge, or at least enough so that the spells that aren´t from this world wouldn´t be noticed without careful inspection.
My first class was potions together with Hufflepuff. I arrived eytra early in the dungeons so that I wouldn´t be late, I definitely don´t want to get on Snape´s radar so soon. When I finally found the class room, I could already see some students sitting and chatting, these poor fellows didn´t know that they were sitting in the devils lair. I ignored them and sat down on an empty table, waiting for the class to begin, of course as the classroom filled it was natural that someone seated themselves besides me. It was a Hufflepuff girl that of course had to immediately start a conversation, even after minutes of me ignoring her did she not stop.
Only after I was on the verge of turning that jukebox next to me off, did our teacher arrive. ''Quiet, I will read the attendance, if your name is called just say 'here''' he somehow managed to shut all the enthusiastic first years, including my bench partner, up with just a few words, impressive. He started calling out names to which most of the time answers followed, somehow, I wasn´t surprised that the ones missing were Gryffindor's. When he called my name I just raised my hand and he looked at me for a moment before turning around and taking a flask from his desk. ''Drink this'' okay? The teachers were probably already aware about my circumstances and he was trying to use one of his potions to cure me, I was of course not going to underestimate the half-blood prince, so I was ready to cripple myself immediately should the potion work. I took the potion and gulped it down in one go before gagging almost immediately after, this stuff was disgusting but to my genuine surprise worked almost instantly. I could feel my voice cords heal rapidly, I couldn´t let that happen so I used my NE to destroy them simultaneously, I might actually 'miraculously' heal in a few years but not now. After a few moments of an almost unbearably itch in my throat, did Prof Snape point his wand at me to probably cast some analysis spell to see if it worked and I didn´t just act, guess the fact that his potion failed bruised his ego a little. He just made a 'humph' and told me ''Professor Flitwick will await you at noon in his office'' before continuing the rollcall.
My first class was not as interesting as I had hoped, I already new all the new stuff from the book and the speech he gave us about Potioneering being the most powerful form of magic seemed not only unreal but also scripted. It was the very same one he would give one year later to the golden trio and I was pretty sure that all Professors claimed their subject to be the most powerful.
Next class was transfiguration, when I entered the classroom I immediately noticed the cat sitting on the desk, guess she always did that for the first class to show off what transfiguration could do. This class felt like it ended a lot faster than the one with Snape did and I was sure I wasn´t the only one that felt that way. We only had to try and change a matchstick into a needle, of course I succeeded on the first try since I had already experimented a little with transfiguration as well as my unmatched control and imagination.
We he two more classes before noon, some with Hufflepuff and some with Slytherin. I was currently on my way to Flitwick´s office, I was guessing he was going to give me lessons on how to write in the air and cast spells non-verbally so that I could at least communicate and participate in classes properly. I was fairly certain that private classes weren´t allowed but I had unique circumstances so Dumbledore would make an exception. I knocked on the door and the door opened on its own, inside sat the half goblin at his desk on a bunch of pillows. ''Ah, Mr. Reining, come in, take a seat.'' I closed the door behind me and did just that. '' You might already have an idea why you're here but I´m still going to explain it to you. I had a talk with Dumbledore and he agreed that I was allowed to give you private classes on how to communicate using magic and how to cast spells silently. That would make both your and us professors life much easier. Of course, I´m only allowed to teach you these two things otherwise people would see that as preferential treatment'' just as I had guessed. ''Are you ready Mr. Reining?'' I nodded ''Then let begin right away.''
