Chapter 6: Chapter 6: Adjustment.
Hey guys! Im not back yet. The internet company keeps saying a new excuse as to why they havent come whether it be the weather or something else I managed to get this out while we were visiting my moms friend. I wrote it on my phone so there might be mistakes and its pretty short so, just trying to put something out right now.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*Peck* *Peck* "HOOT!"
Oberon waved his hands at the bird who was annoying his sleep. After trying for a few minutes, he opened his eyes and remembered that he was at Hogwarts. He felt excitement and giddiness well up from deep within him. He was going to learn magic! He dreamed of these moments since the moment he learned it was real.
Oberon clamped down on his excitement in favor of preparing for the day. Exploring could come after a hot shower and some food.
...
Oberon tentatively walked towards the Great Hall. Last night he had been too distracted by his new Hufflepuff friends to care, but he had still noticed the gazes bore into his back from a few people. While he did want to explore, he didn't want to deal with "shitty brats" as Moody had called them.
As soon as he stepped through the gigantic doors of the Great Hall, he saw many students quickly turn their heads at him. A few murmurs here and there and he already wished he didn't come here. But Dumbledore had said that breakfast is the most important meal of the day so he couldn't skimp on it.
He sat down at an empty seat at the Hufflepuff table. Just like any house, there were those that were kind, and those that were, not-so-kind to say the least. None of the students he met last night were up yet, just a few of the ones he didn't meet. Once he sat down a few students got up and moved a few seats away from him. He frowned a bit but paid them no mind. Breakfast was far more interesting.
He watched with fanatical interest as a full English breakfast had appeared on his plate. He also saw the special tea he was supposed to drink just magically enter his cup. The steamy blue liquid being a different color than everyone else's. He was about to take a hearty swig of the blue juice when he noticed a few people staring at his scars. He shook his head and went back to eating. Oberon figured that trying to hide his scars would be just as conspicuous as not hiding them, while actively trying to hide them would waste much needed energy.
Thankfully the first day in Hogwarts was on a Saturday. It gave him the time necessary to explore a little. After pondering while munching some toast he made a plan for the day. For some reason, Oberon liked to structure his days. It was a weird comfort; it gave him a feeling of control that he previously did not have.
Oberon finished with his meal and walked out to find his classes. He didn't want to make a bad impression by being late to his first class now did he? He walked down the hall and up multiple flights of stairs. Many turns later and he had an epiphany.
He was 100% completely lost and had no idea what to do about it.
Oberon turned down the next hall he saw and found a girl being bullied. She had pale blond hair and an aloof look on her face. As if she simply couldn't be bothered by what was going on.
(HAHAH! Cliche author powers activate!)
One of the girls who had a round face and black hair, parted in the middle raised her hand as if to hit the girl. Before the slap could connect Oberon turned his finger into Obscurus fog and stopped the hit just before she hit the girl.
[Thats not very nice.]
"It's the Obscurus!"
One of the girls yelled for seemingly no reason. They were close enough to where they could hear each other by talking normally. Oberon just shook his head in disappointment.
[Why were you going to hit her?] He questioned the girl.
"Because looney is a freak!"
Oberon frowned. He didn't like that one bit. He saw no point in ickle bullying. His eyes narrowed and his magic flared a little.
[Please leave. Or I will have to report this incident to one of the professors. If i recall, Professor Flitwick doesn't like bullies.] the pen wrote simply.
The girls were stunned. The actions of their consequences coming back to haunt them? Who would have thought such a thing could happen? After yelling some more they left. Pretty anticlimactic.
Oberon turned to the pale-haired girl.
[Are you okay? I know I stopped that last hit, but did they hit you before that?]
"No, I'm okay. They didn't hit me before that. Thank you for stopping them. The nargles must have really affected their brains."
[What's your name? I am Oberon Gallagher. Nice to meet you.]
"Hi Oberon! My name is Luna! Tell me, do you like pudding?"
[Pudding? I've never tried it.]
*gasp* "Oberon you've never tried pudding? Thats heresy! A violation! We must get you some during dinner." Luna said and giggled.
[Well then, I will definitely try some. Thats a promise. While we wait for dinner, do you want to explore the castle with me? I somehow got lost]
"I'd like that a-lot Oberon." So on they went, Oberon and Luna exploring the castle together, getting lost in the many interchangeable pathways of the halls of Hogwarts.
