Draco and his two followers who are Johnathan's clones in disguise spread the rumours throughout the train. The clones acted as the three perfectly. Malfoy's arrogant sneers, words and the sentence, my father will hear about whenever they spoke something to retort left no way to distinguish if it's Draco or his doppleganger.
Johnathan meanwhile calmly reading a book on charms. His lips curled upward though. He is enjoying the cries of freshmen outside. Seniors co-operated well to further strengthen and spread this rumour. All first years are now so scared that some are even crying to go back to London with their parents.
But they're too late since this train won't stop. Even the prefects thought it was a prank by Fred and George. Percy who is usually so serious also joined in the prank too. Johnathan can't hold back the smile after sometime. He forcibly suppressed the smile only after he heard the footsteps outside.
He put on a serious look and asked," what did they say? ", Hermione and Nevile not looked so good. Both of them said," they said they'd just basic tasks. We may even has to face the dark lord himself imprisoned in Hogwarts. Grindelwald is trapped beneath Hogwarts. They said he killed 3 freshmen last time ".
Nevile also said," they said we may even face werewolves. Not one but a pack of them. Dozen or so at the same time ", Hermione said," a senior told me we may face the Hungarian horn tail, the most fierce dragon. Or even face a group of giants who may eat you ".
Nevile cried and said," or we may be sent to a den of acromantula where thousands of them are crawling. And retrieve a coin succesfully from there", Hermione said with a frown," I think they're all joking. Hogwarts is the safest school in the world ".
Johnathan said," maybe that's because they only accept talented and qualified students. A student who can face a dark wizard or dozens of werewolves or may be surviving a dark lord encounter or escaping from a den of acromantula while retrieving a treasure ".
Hermione opened her to retort but don't know how to. If it's as Johnathan said then it makes sense that Hogwarts with such students remain as the safest school in the world. Johnathan said," I'll teach you the protection spell I'm proficient at. Learn it and defend yourselves. As for attacking spell I don't know many except a spell that hangs people upside down. I used it on the Draco everytime I found him annoying ".
Nevile said," yes, Johnathan hanged Malfoy upside down many times. I'm witness to this ", Hermione nodded while Johnathan explained how to cast the protego spell and the two started learning that while Johnathan said he will look for an attack spells.
He started reading the charms spell and defense against the dark arts. An occasional arc on his lips is well hidden behind the book. Just then the trolley appeared while Johnathan bought few things. He looked at them and said," we can't fight with an empty stomach. But something and eat them ".
Hermione and Nevile declined," my mother/ grandmother packed lunch for me ", Johnathan ate the things he bought and stretched his body then said," Hermione, me and Nevile will change into school robes. Please step outside for a second ", Hermione nodded and walked outside while Johnathan and Nevile changed into school robes.
As the sky darkened, the train came to half at hogsmeade station. As for the clones of Johnathan, after their purpose is done they dispelled themselves. Johnathan exited the train with Nevile and Hermione in toe. An exclamation attracted them," it's a giant run. They will eat us ".
Turning back he saw the freshmen running away from hagrid who looked dumbfounded holding a huge oil lamp in his hand. He shouted," hey kids, there are no giants here other than me. And I'm a vegetarian mainly, and don't eat people. Freshman follow me, follow me quickly ".
But the freshmen stood there trembling and sacred while a boy said," don't worry everyone. He is hagrid. He is a good guy and won't eat anyone. Let's follow him ", another big said," yes that's right. My mother told me about hagrid. And this is Harry Potter. Let's follow hagrid. Nothing bad will happen".
"Woo, I don't want to go to Hogwarts. I don't want to die "
" I don't want to face dark wizards or dark lord ".
" I'm scared of spiders ".
" Mom, where are you? I'll be good. Please take me away waah ".
" Wooo, I don't want to die. I don't want to face a dragon ".
" The giants and trolls in school will eat us. I want to take back my admission ".
" M-My father will hear about this. I-if you don't want Hogwarts to be poor, sort into Slytherin this moment ".
Johnathan looked calm and took out his wand ready to fight anything. Seeing him, Hermione and Nevile also took out their wands. Under the insistance of hagrid, Harry and Ron. The freshmen followed hagrid to the lake and cried again.
" Squid? There is a giant squid. It'll eat us ".
" Merlocks. They will drag us into the lake and kill us ".
" They're holding forks. They won't pierce us with them do they? ".
" My father will hear about this. He will take acyok against you for raising merpeople and that bloody squid ".
Hagrid looked dumbfounded. In his career this is the first time he saw freshmen who are rude like this. He don't know what to say for a second there. He just knocked on the door of Hogwarts and led the crying freshmen with a blank look into the castle under the dumbfounded eyes of filch and his car.
When McGonagall heard those wials she thought those ghosts held a party and started crying again. she whipped her wand out to teach the ghosts a lesson while freshmen who saw her taking her wand out screamed then ran all the way to the castle door making her look at them dumbfounded.
