A Mutant's Ascension

[POV Reo(Edgar)]

Ride to the castle was a completely different experience this time. Threstal drwan carriges... it felt like we have arrived in some medieval time period... though it's quite similar with all the supramacy and bigotry...​​

"So, you are saying that these carriages aren't magically drawn?" Lisa Turpin was still with, she asked us in a voice that showed that she wasn't sure if she could believe us.

"I believe they are called Threstals, they can only be seen by someone who have seen death closely" Rumi said and leaned back in her seat.

Hermione, Lisa, and Michael looked completely horrified to hear this.

"Oh... don't worry but they aren't bad creatures... they are really nice and caring" I said while looking outside the window.

"Um... Alice, can you see them too?" Hermione asked Momo. Momo didn't reply but shook her head in denial. We didn't talk much for the rest of the ride.

Getting off the carriages we were quickly headed towards the Great Hall, this time we were brought in via a different path. I looked up to the Head Table and found a Grandfatherly looking Dumbles with his damn twinkles in his eyes. This isn't good... his eyes are twinkling means that he must have planned something... Oh well, I will see what he has planned later...

We walked down to the Ravenclaw table and sat down beside each other. Momo took my right side while Rumi was on my left side. After sometime McGonagall walked in the Great Hall followed by a bunch of fristies, my eyes immediately scanned the crowd and found it's target.

Ginerva Molly Weasley, as of now, no dark artifacts have entered the Castle neither Ginerva herself was carrying anything. So, it was quite clear that dear old Lucy had decided not to use his Master's precious artifact to cause chaos since Harry Potter wasn't here.

I felt someone's gaze on me and immediately my eyes searched for the person the gaze belonged to and found a dreamy looking dirty blond haired girl staring at me with her silver eyes. She had a huge grin on her face... then she turned her gaze on Momo and then on Rumi.

"Looks like we have a firstie admirer" Rumi said under her breadth.

Momo didn't hear Rumi so she didn't give her a reply but I am quite sure that Luna isn't our admirer. In the series... she is well eccentric. But her insight and knowledge about some stuff were point on... I also noticed the Luna kept looking at us from time to time...

Minerva quickly started the sorting and like the story, Ginerva was sorted into Gyffydors while Luna Lovegood was sorted into Ravenclaw. Immediately after her sorting was done she skipped down to table and sat down right in front of us. I don't know if she sees something in us or not but... when I think about her in the story she was bullied throughout all the years... at least I won't let that happen even if she doesn't becomes my friend. But seeing her here I think that she will be our friend. Now with the sorting done, Fumbledork decided to say some words and the food appeared on the tables. Seeing that Luna didn't say anything we all started to eat.

"Hello Otherworlders how do you do?" Luna asked us in dreamy voice. Momo immediately choked on her good and started to chough. Rumi completely froze and stilled. I was also frozen in shock and surprise... how the hell she is able to find that out? Does she really have some powers which let's her see the world in other perspective??

"What do you mean by that Miss Lovegood?" I asked her politely. Honestly, I don't want this getting this out, while asking her I quickly casted a silencing charm around us.

"Oh... that you came from other world. Nice meeting you I am Luna Lovegood, please call me Luna" Luna said while nodding her head in a sage manner. But how the hell, what can she even see?

"But how? I don't think I looking anything different from the others" suddenly Momo squeaked out the question from my side giving up all the prestenses. Well, she must be curious...

"Frizetpurts told me" Luna said like a matter of fact. I don't even know what they are but I am sure that they must be different from Nargles and Wrackspurts. Momo was completely bewildered and speechless, Rumi decided not to intervene in this conversation.

"Um... of you don't mind, can I ask what they are?" I asked Luna trying not to make her feel offended, but I really wanted to hear her explanation.

"Oh, they are a species of invisible creatures that can read the essence of the world" Luna said while nodding her head.

"Do they give pudding for desert?" Luna asked us without giving us a chance to say anything.

"No... I don't think they do" I said and Luna looked immediately saddened.

"It's so sad" Luna said and started to eat her food. I felt someone poking me from the right side and found Momo gesturing towards Luna.

"Luna, if you don't mind can you please keep this secret, us being otherworlders?" I asked her, I know she isn't a girl who would babble her mouth. She is pure and gentle girl with a single bad bone in her body.

"I can do that" Luna said and returned to her food. Momo didn't know what to say anymore and Rumi had long returned to eating her food. I whispered something in Momo's ears and she immediately conjured two cups. I took them and pushed them towards Luna.

"Luna, you said you wanted pudding" I said. Luna immediately looked towards the cups and her eyes shined in excitement.

"Are they for me?" Luna asked gesturing on herself. I nodded my head and Luna happily accepted the pudding.

"Thank you... nobody ever gave me anything" Luna said and started to eat pudding forgetting her food.

"Don't worry Luna, you are our friend and it's natural for friends. Of course if you want to be our friends" I said with a gentle smile on my face.

"I never had any friends... everyone called me Loony and ran away from me. I would love to be your friend" Luna said while she already finished one pudding cup and was about to open the second.

"Luna, you need to eat food, you can eat pudding later" I said, though Luna pouted she began eating her food again but her eyes we're fixated on the pudding cup.

Dinner was quickly over, Luna happily devoured the pudding. After dinner, Dumbles gave his tripe speech which most of the people ignored. Now, that I wonder, last year nothing anything related to Norbert never happened. Did the absence of Harry mess up the timeline so much... could be... after all this world is depended on him and him not being here must have brought huge changes.

We returned to the Ravenclaw dorms, the first years were shown the way by the 5th year prefects. We were behind them. The three of us stayed at the back with a silencing charm and a strong notice-me-not charm.

"Was that safe? Our secret could be out?" Momo aksed me completely worried.

"You don't have to worry, she is a nice girl. You will see, well she is eccentric but she is nice" I said and pulled both Momo and Rumi towards me by their waist.

"She seemed quite nice even though weird" Rumi said trying to make a point.

"I am she has some powers that let's see the world in some other perspective" Momo said while muttering. That's my girl... I never said anything to powers, but she herself reached to this conclusion. I didn't say anything and nodded my head.

We finally entered the dorms and the first years were shown to their dorms. We decided not to delve into carnal desires for tonight, since it has been a long day but that didn't mean we can't cuddle together in the bed. Momo and Rumi arrived in my room during the night using Flash Step. If they wanted they could have apparated, but neither of them like the feeling of apparition so they decided not to use that for short distance travels.

Quickly getting undressed we cuddled in the bed. I closed my eyes and took the full control of Hogwarts wards and activated animagus locating wards. Now, that I was connected with the wards I quickly scanned the Gryffydor dorms but found that Horcrux wasn't here, even though I checked this previously I wanted to be sure after all, I didn't want to visit Lucy for nothing.

But, before anything I again checked Slytherin dorms after all Lucy doesn't know what that thing is, so he can give that to his own son. Fortunately the artifact wasn't in Slytherin dorms... I said fortunate because now I can pay dear old Lucy a visit... at least this gives me a nice excuse...
