Chapter 2

Chapter Two: Crazed Starts

The first thing the teachers saw as they entered the Great Hall for breakfast was Henry and his three friends sitting at the table drawing up some sort of schedule of their own. The Dark Lord paused as he walked past and glanced down at the graphs and times tables the teens were making, it looked like a study schedule, and Henry was still writing more with his one hand while his other hand held tight to a cup of coffee. The plans seemed focused to keep Kevin and the others from falling behind, when Henry glanced at him he saw the teen looked like he was wide awake as if he was buzzed slightly.

"How much coffee have you drank already?" Sam asked as Henry turned back to the paper, his friend was not really blinking just writing and discussing the scheduled sessions of study, "Henry how many cups have you had today?"

"Um…eight," Henry said before finishing off the cup in his hand, "Nine," summoning another cup he went to drink it but dropped the cup as he bolted backwards standing up as all three of his friends threw water in his face, sputtering for a moment he wiped the water from his eyes and glared playfully at them, "Okay you do realize this means war right?"

"Three against one seems unfair," Dean pointed out with a grin before he was hanging by his ankles and Sam was glued to the ceiling and kevin was on the floor laughing as invisible hands tickled him, "Whoa!" looking at Henry he saw the teen twirl his wand once, "Okay we give up."

"You guys are really slow in reaction time do you realize that?" Henry said with a laugh before setting his friends right, sitting back down he glanced at them and grinned suddenly, "Hey guys I just got an idea."

"Oh no," Kevin whispered as they all leaned in to listen to the teen talk hurried and whispered as if not wanting anyone to overhear the plan. The teachers all watched as the four students plotted at the table, they really had nothing else to do as the other students had yet to arrive. By the time the four leaned away from each other all four had wicked grins on their face and Henry got a nod from the other three as if agreeing to the plan.

"Okay when did you become smart?" Dean teased which made Henry slap his arm, Sam and Kevin laughed as Henry summoned another cup of coffee, "Ah, the coffee is making you evil my friend."

"If coffee is evil then I embrace the evil happily," Henry said sticking his tongue out at Dean, "You might be my friend but I'd sell you to the devil for a lifetime supply of coffee," that got the others laughing again and he had some bacon with his coffee. Seriously he had two pieces of bacon and three cups of coffee for breakfast.

"Raiden," Draconian Maoy said as he walked over to the table, he was with a group of Sly snake who had come up for breakfast and was surprised to see Henry already at breakfast with the other three boys.

Turning Henry glanced at the blond teen, "Good Morning Maoy," Henry said before turning his head around once again to look at his friends, "Hey where did my coffee go?" shrugging he summoned another cup and grinned as he sipped it and turned back to Draconian, "So what's up?"

"Why are you acting so…not you?" Draconian asked blinking at the teen before him, "And what is with the coffee?"

"Try it," Henry said holding out his cup of coffee, "You might enjoy it."

"No thanks," Draconian said stepping back, "You have lost your mind," turning he left the area and went to his won table muttering bout how odd Henry was acting.

"I don't think Maoy's do coffee," Kevin said which made Henry laugh and Sam laughed while Dean smacked his head wondering when they would all snap out of the coffee induced craze, as Henry had gotten Sam and Kevin to both drink coffee with him.

About halfway through breakfast Henry suddenly asked a question that had his friends puzzled, "What's the difference between a sly lion and a loyal snake?" Henry said which made them pause trying to think of the answer.

"I don't know, what is the difference?" Sam asked which made Henry blink at them.

"If I knew the answer I wouldn't be asking the question," Henry said rolling his eyes before yelping as Rowon sent a stinging charm at his back, twisting around to look at the redhead his eyes were hard and seemed deadly, "You little-"

Yet Kevin and Dean both grabbed Henry's arms and held him down while Sam covered his mouth and said calmly, "Henry no killing at breakfast," getting a laugh he let go as did the others and they all looked at Rowon with looks saying he had a death wish.

"What do you have first thing?" Kevin asked looking at the schedule, "Henry how can you read this thing? It's written in scribbles…"

"That's not scribbles, its Parsel," Sam said getting blinked at by the people around him he shrugged, "Henry's been writing in it for ages now, makes copying his notes a pain in the ***."

"And yet you still learned the bloody language instead of taking your own notes," Henry said rolling his eyes, "Seriously you prerogatives are screwed up."

"Not really, I had you teach me how to read it so I can read the journal you keep," Sam said which made Henry swat him with a spoon, "It's rather an-ow! Seriously?" he asked raising an eyebrow, "When did you learn how to-ow!"

"Shut up," Henry said eyes darting to Helen who was listening in, "Back off," he snapped at her before grabbing another cup of coffee and glancing at his friends, "Come on we have Wizards Politics first thing today."

"Think we'll be able to understand it?" Dean asked as they followed out of the hall.

"If not we'll kidnap a Sly snake," Henry said with a chuckle, "They understand these things just fine."

"Good thing we have you then," Dean said which earned a playful glare, they were at the door to the Great Hall getting waiting for Kevin to catch up when Henry smacked him in the head, "Deny it all you like!"

"Oh shut up," Henry said rolling his eyes and leaving the room.
