Chapter 3: Sitting with an Idiot on the Hogwarts Express
-[King's Cross Train Station]-
-(1 week later)-
'My parents give me wa~y to much freedom,' I think as I push the cart with my chest that contain my Hogwart's supplies.
-<MC note: My parents constantly act all lovey dovey so everytime they get a chance they leave me and act like their on their honeymoon. So I'm expecting a younger sibling sooner or later.>-
My parents dropped me off in front of the train station and sped away with a quick goodbye and another warning about Dumbledore. Apparently he enlisted the Weasley family and the Granger family in order to control Iris Potter, who've I have yet to see. Well, I've already decided to stop any plans he has involving Iris so it doesn't even matter. Getting out of my thoughts I walk towards Platform 9 and 10. Standing in front of the barrier with a cart that had a chest and snowy owl on it, I see a girl with long black hair who was, dangerously thin, heavily bruised, and wearing clothes way to big for her along with from what I could see a pair of broken glasses.
'You need to help this girl,' Merlin says with clear anger and a serious tone she rarely has. 'She's clearly being abused from her appearance alone.'
'I already plan to,' I tell Merlin with my fist twitching from anger and the mark on my right arm that contains my sword starts to burn. 'She looks to be going to Hogwarts so how about you run up to her and I chase after you.'
'On it,' Merlin says jumping down from her regular spot on my shoulders and bolts towards the girl.
"MERLIN NO!" i shout in a very convincing way while fake chasing Merlin up to the girl.
Once reaching the girl, Merlin began rubbing her head against the girl's leg. The girl looks shocked at Merlin's action and I walk up to her.
"Sorry about that," I tell the girl while fake panting in exhaustion. "Merlin never usually acts this way."
"Don't worry about it," The girl tells me as I stand transfixed by her eyes. "Cats just normally don't act this way with me."
They were as green as my own with clear intelligence behind them. It was like staring at a lush green forest or a pool of emeralds. I unconsciously imagine seeing the girl in a wedding dress.
-<A.N. Yes Arthur does have a glasses fetish>-
'Arthur! Come back to reality buddy!' Merlin shouts in my mind. 'Even I'm getting the images from your head!'
"Uh~ are you okay?" The girl asks me.
"Sorry," I say quickly trying to pick back up my calm demeanor. "Anyway you can pick Merlin up, she doesn't mind it."
The girl carefully picks up Merlin once hearing this. Once in the girl's arms Merlin decides to softly rub against the girl's face making the image extremely dangerously cute.
"Oh yeah, are you looking for a certain train?" I ask looking away from the scene.
Noticing my cart the girl says, "Yes actually Platform 9 and three-quarters."
"Oh your going to Hogwarts as well?" I ask. "Cause your standing right in front of the entrance."
"Is it like Diagon Alley?" The girl asks me while looking at the brick barrier.
"No, I don't really know how to explain it but I can show you," I tell her with a smile and an outstretched hand. "But I need you to trust me."
The girl takes my hand after a brief moment where she looks like she was trying to decide to trust a new guy she just met.
"Okay, I trust you," The girl tells me.
I go to get my cart and move it besides Iris's cart.
"Do what I do," I tell her before running into the barrier.
On the other side of the barrier I take note of the environment. There were countless students in the station with their parents and various carts with chest being loaded onto the train. I turn around to make sure the girl followed me with Merlin cause without Merlin I have no clue on what I'm doing.
'Arthur did you know this girl has another soul attached to her?' Merlin asks me in concern. 'It feels dark and malevolent, yet like it's connected to something or someone else.'
'Can you remove it?' I ask worriedly. 'If it doesn't harm her of course.'
'I would be such a good wizard if I couldn't,' Merlin tells me as they finally come through the barrier.
"Wow," The girl gasps in amazement at the sight of the train station.
"You know this is just like a regular train station?" I ask in confusion. "The only difference is that it is hidden from Muggles or people without magic."
"Oh," The girl says her face slightly red from embarrassment.
-[Hogwarts Express]-
-(30 minutes later)-
The girl I met earlier was playing with Merlin and I was reading a book across. I yawn as the door to the compartment slides open. I look up to see a red haired boy with blue eyes and freckles standing in the hallway of the train.
"Mind if I sit in here?" The boy asks us. "Everywhere else is full."
"Sure I don't mind but you'll have to ask her," I tell him with another yawn.
"It's okay," The girl says to him. "I don't mind either."
"Thanks," The boy says as he sits down. "I'm Ron Weasley."
'God damn it,' I immediately think as he says his name.
"Iris Potter," The girl tells Ron.
'Fuck my life!' I shout in my mind as she says her name. 'Why the hell didn't I ask her for her bloody name when I met her?!'
'You were too busy imagining the wedding between you two,' Merlin says to me.
'Stay outta my head,' I tell her.
"Your famous," Ron tells her. "Can I see the- you know-(he lowers his voice) the scar?"
Iris responds with a weak smile before moving her bangs to reveal a lighting bolt shaped scar on her forehead.
"Do you remember anything, about You-Know-Who?" Ron asks her insensitively.
"You do realize that when that happened she was a baby right?" I ask him with a bored expression on my face. "And even if she did remember that was the day her parents were killed by Voldemort, do you really think she want to remember that?"
"Oh, sorry," Ron says looking kinda guilty for not remembering about her past. "Oh, by the way who are you?"
"I'm Arthur, Arthur Pendragon," I answer, introducing myself to them.
"Wait, your Arthur Pendragon?!" Ron exclaims in excitement. "You're even more famous than her, in fact your whole family is. Can I see the birthmark?"
I lift up the sleeve on my left arm to show him my shield birthmark.
"What's so special about him?" Iris asks Ron curiously.
"They say he's the second coming of, his ancestor and namesake, King Arthur," Ron informs her. "And his family is the only other people You-Know-Who feared besides Dumbledore."
"Do you kids want anything?" The trolley witch asks us.
'Finally, at least Iris can't ask why I'm the second coming of my past self if Ron is busy eating,' I think as I tell the trolley witch. "6 chocolate frogs, 12 bags of Betty Bott's every flavour jellybeans, and 3 pumpkin pastries."
I hand her 6 galleons to pay for everything once she gives me everything I ordered. When she closes the door of the compartment I give Iris and Ron 3 chocolate frogs, 4 bags of jellybeans, and 1 pumpkin pastry each.
'Aren't those jellybeans EVERY flavor?' Merlin asks me curiously. 'Why do you try your luck like that?'
'To make sure my luck is actually good,' I tell her as I eat a jellybean. "Mmmm, chocolate cake."
Iris smiles as she eats a jellybean, "I got cherry pie."
Ron's face scrunches up as he eats one of his and immediately spits it out and continues spitting, "Mine was poo flavoured."
"Then don't eat brown," I tell him while me and Iris laugh.
-(a while later)-
"So which house do you two think you'll be in?" Ron asks us. "I'll probably be in Gryffindor like my brothers."
"Me personally, I'm hoping for Ravenclaw or Slytherin," I tell him. "From what my dad told me, Gryffindor have to share their room with each other, what about you Iris?"
"Why Slytherin?" Ron asks. "Everyone who goes there tends to be evil."
"And that's why Slytherin," I answer. "If I graduate from there I could break that misconception."
"You sure your not evil?" Ron asks me.
"99.9% sure, .1% unsure," I tell him with a smile as the door opens yet again.
"Excuse me, has anyone seen a toad? Neville lost his," A girl with messy brown hair and brown eyes asks us.
"Nope, we where just having a conversation about the houses," I tell her as I notice that she's looking at my knife.
"Aren't weapons banned in Hogwarts?" She asks sitting right next to me.
"Their not, it's just really uncommon for people to carry weapons nowadays unless they're from the Pendragon family," I tell her before introducing myself and the other two (not making the same mistake twice). "Oh, introductions are in order I suppose; the boy right there is Ronald Weasley but you can call him Ron, the girl is Iris Potter, and I'm Arthur Pendragon."
"Hermione Granger," The girl introduces herself.
'Bloody goddamn hell, why is keeping the golden trio separate so hard?' I think as she says her name.
"Is it true that when you were born all fae creatures came and bowed down to you?" Hermione asks me.
"Yeah it is," I answer reluctantly.
When I was reborn into this world apparently I released a bit of my kingly aura which caused all of the fae (fairy) creatures from England to come to the hospital I was in and bow down. Due to this I am called the second coming of King Arthur, even though I am King Arthur.
"So the knife is supposed to be your bound weapon?" Hermione asks. "How does it fly?"
"No it's not, the knife is something of a family heirloom (that was kept in the vault)," I tell her while channeling some magic into the mark of my sword, making it appear in front of them. "This is my bound weapon, Cross."
I pull back Cross into it's mark on my right arm and say, "Now can you please let Iris come with you, me and Ron need to change into our robes."
Hermione takes Iris with her after Iris grabs her robes. The moment the girls leave I jump up and quickly change clothes as Ron does the same. Once we change we sit back down and I pick my book back up to start reading again.
"You know, you act a lot like a Ravenclaw would act," Ron tells me. "Kinda bookish if you will."
I remember that my parents did tell me to use legilimency on anyone I was uncertain about interacting with. The reason I know it is because they decided to teach me both legilimency and occlumency in order to protect myself against and counter mental attacks. However according to Merlin, I didn't need to learn Occulmency because since Camelot is my Reality Marble my mind tends to be an impenetrable castle which makes me wonder about how the Sorting Hat would read my mind. Anyway, in Ron's mind I learned that he was there when the deal with Dumbledore was made but his dad wasn't. Apparently, Dumbledore plans to have the Weasley and Granger family gain Iris's trust so she could become a self sacrificial pawn for Dumbledore's plans.
'Yeah, I'm definitely making sure Iris isn't going to become a Gryffindor,' I tell Merlin after reading Ron's mind.
'Don't worry I'll use legilimency on the Sorting Hat to make her go to whatever house you end up in,' Merlin responds with determination.
'I'm going to Ravenclaw,' I tell her coldly after reading Ron's mind a bit more. 'And I need to get outta this guy's mind before I kill him.'
'What did that guy think to make you so mad?' Merlin asks.
'His plans for the future,' I answer. 'This guy has a real inferiority complex.'
'Was he like that in the original series?' Merlin asks me.
'Yeah, but it wasn't as bad as this,' I inform her as Iris returns to the compartment in her robes.
"Did we need gloves like yours Arthur?" Iris asks.
"No, I just decided to get them," I tell her while stretching to get rid of my tiredness. "So what house do you want to go to Iris? You never answered the question before Hermione interrupted."
"I hoped you forgot about that," Iris says looking sad. "I don't know, honestly I'm not sure I would fit in at this school."
"Don't worry about it," I tell her. "It's too late anyway, cause we're already at Hogsmeade Station."
I point out the window with my thumb to for them to see the train slowing down as it pulls into the station.
'So the fun begins,' I tell Merlin with a sly smile.
CREATORS' THOUGHTS 
LokiTheUmbreon
LokiTheUmbreon Arthur and Iris both got to King's Cross earlier than the Weasley family. Also I'm changing the schedules for Hogwarts, instead of Gryffindor, Slytherin tend to have it's doubles with Ravenclaw. Because I think Dumbledore did the schedule like that so Harry would naturally not get along with the Slytherins
