Chapter 25 : Back to Hogwarts

After failing to get Tom Riddle's diary Edwin went shopping for a simple but hopefully effective way of not getting killed he decides to purchase a Walkman and hope to modify it to be used with magic instead of electricity, other then the Walkman Edwin bought some cheap sunglasses and replace the lens with a clear lens that has been wrapped with plastic which made it almost to see.

Edwin also started to practice Occlumency learning Occlumency was going slow he could keep an amateur of the mind arts out for a while but if someone like Snape or Dumbledore who is master of the mind Arts tries to enter he would be helpless.

The Vaclav made their way to the train station Edwin knew he had to warn his sister about the wizarding world but he didn't want to make it sound more dangerous than it actually is so he had been thinking of a way to make it seem like it's just everyday life but just with magic and creatures.

At Platform 9 3/4 Wendy was hugging Yasbel and Edwin " you two be careful... and Yasbel make sure Edwin write this time and you to honey "

"Yess Mom" Yasbel said, Edwin who heard this remember that he didn't write to anyone last year smiled.

" We should get going, " Edwin said " and get a cabin "

" bye love you," Wendy said, Yasbel replied and get just smile and used his wand to levitate their Luggage to follow them Yasbel saw this and looked excited " can you teach me that "

" Why not," Edwin said as they arrived at the luggage compartment and as Yasbel was about to walk through the door to look for a cabin to stay in Edwin stopped her " We gotta talk "

" We can do that later gotta find a cabin, " Yasbel said trying to get past Edwin

" We already have one... it's about Hogwarts and the wizarding world " Edwin said with a frown looking serious Yasbel staid and listen.

" Can you remember what happened to Mr. Weasley at the book store? " Edwin asked

" I hear that he almost got into a fight with his boss "

Edwin took a deep breathing and started to explain " listen carefully... some people in the wizarding world are racist just like the muggle world but for the wizards, it's not the color of your skin but the status of your blood, Some pure-bloods hate muggle-born"

" Yeah so, "Yasbel said

" There is a particular Hogwarts house that is based on blood supremacy... Slytherin but it's in the past with a new Headmaster and House-head it's not much of a problem now"

" but aren't you in Slytherin... " Yasbel asked

" Yeah but I told everyone I'm a Half-blood and you'll do the same if you enter Slytherin, " Edwin said knowing that it would take time to explain everything to Yasbel he said " It's really complicated... but don't worry about it too much it's just normal racism "

Edwin saw concerned look on Yasbel face and said " let me introduce you to some of my friends "

Edwin went from cabin to cabin looking for Theodore he found him with Draco, Daphne and her friends whose name he couldn't remember Theodore and Draco nodded at Edwin and tried to drag in into their conversation " Edwin what do you think about our new D.A.D.A Teacher? " Draco asked " the girls are saying it is amazing that Gilderoy is teaching us "

" Don't care... Everyone this is my sister Yasbel " Edwin said and pulled her into the cabin and introduce her to everyone his friends who didn't know he had a sister started to talk to her and find out more about her, Yasbel became the center of interest of the girls in the cabin who loved the clothes that she was wearing.

Yasbel who remembers what Edwin had said about Slytherin looked at Edwin when one of the girls asked where she got the dress after Edwin nodded Yasbel started to talk about fashion with Daphne and the girls.

" Ysabel we're going to an empty cabin," Edwin said to Yasbel who wasn't paying attention

Edwin, Theodore, and Draco went to an empty cabin and talked about what they did during the summer after hearing that Edwin had a party Draco was upset about not being invited but after hearing it was a muggle party from Edwin Draco turned back to normal.

" My father wouldn't have allowed me to go, " Draco said

" same here" Theodore added

Soon after Blaise entered the cabin and sat near Draco, Edwin had never spoken to Blaise before and didn't know him but soon after everyone in the cabin was talking again. it turned out that the only cabin with Slytherin students that has space and Blaise didn't want to sit with anyone from other houses.

As the train pulled up the Hogwarts Edwin left the train and walked to the carriages area as the second year moved Edwin saw a black reptilian-like winged horse it had a dragon-like face and it looked as though it was death's horse the creature looked peaceful but looking at the bones that were showing as though it was starved wouldn't reassure anyone of that it's peaceful.

Edwin felt drawn to the creature and he mutters " Thestral " and tried to pet it, the Thestral allowed Edwin to pet him.

" what are you doing, " Draco asked " Have you gone made... why are you petting the air "

Edwin felt a little weird knowing he might be the only person to see them as the got on the carriage Theodore said " I see them too "

Edwin looked at his friend and told him what Thestral are and asked " who did you see die? "

" My mother " Theodore replied, " who did you see die ?"

" I can't remember, " Edwin said, Theodore looked at him With did belief and said nothing, Edwin was trying to remember who he saw die the only person who he knew that died was his past self but he couldn't have seen himself die.

As Edwin wondered why he couldn't remember who die he came up with an answer " My memory it's been tamper with or I'm being paranoid "
