Chapter 3

Chapter Three: Love Coffee lordship

Lucus Maoy entered his classroom and saw Henry and his group of friends sitting already towards the middle on the right. Kevin was going over a textbook while Dean and Sam tried to get Henry to explain the whole Lord thing to them. He set his things on his desk and watched as the teens entertained themselves. The four were twenty minutes early.

"I don't know much, just that there are seven levels of Lords, three families in each level, and that the highest level is called the elites," Henry said which made them blink at him, rolling his eyes he smacked his forehead, "Seriously how did you not understand that? Here," pulling out a parchment and quill he sketched circles and pointed to the center circle, "These are the elites," he drew three triangle in each circle, "These are the families in the levels, these three families are the elites, only two known elite families are alive as they were Gryffin, Sly snake and Claws, and Hufflepups was one circle down, along with Black, and Maoy, then there is the Raidens, Lovelock, and Longtums."

"I'm part of a Lord family?" Kevin asked to lift his head from the book.

"Yes but you are a lesser branch of the Lord family tree," Henry said which got him blinked at, "Guys you do realize I'm not the bloody Professor of this course!"

"But he scares us," Dean admitted glancing at Lucus.

"Lucus Maoy scares you?" Henry asked, getting three nods he rubbed his temples, "Okay you three are so dense, you realize we have a Dark Lord in the school and you're scared of a Maoy?"

"But he's not here at the moment," Dean pointed out.

"He doesn't need to be in the same room as you to kill you," Henry said before smacking his forehead again, "Okay tonight I'll explain everything I know about Lords, and Dark Lords and then will you promise not to be terrified of our Professors?"

"Except Saint," Kevin said.

"Of course except him, he's a bloody terror!" Henry said looking freaked out, "How the hell I managed to get in his class is beyond me, I tried to fail."

"What did you get on your Owls?" Dean asked.

"An O, but that is not the point," Henry said before getting blinked at, "What?"

"You're afraid of Saint?" Dean asked blinking, he did not know any one scared Henry.

"He's scary, and that creepy swishing cloak thing he does, and the way he – we are not having this discussion," Henry said crossing his arms, "I am not going to explain my irrational fear of one man."

Lucus was trying not to smirk as he listened to the chatter, it sounded quite like how him, Sebestian, the Dark Lord and Fenrir would talk in private. He was loath to admit that Henry and the Dark Lord were quite similar. Watching as the others started in the class, he saw Blaze and Theo make way towards the Gryffin and sit near the little group. Lucus watched as Dean and Sam both seemed to square their shoulders defensively while Henry and Kevin discussed something in hushed voices.

As soon as the clock chimed in class Lucus watched as Henry and Kevin shut up, Henry had his coffee in hand and seemed very calm. The rest of the Gryffin were in the back of the room trying not to be seen or heard, while the Sly snake sat in the front all watching contently.

"This is Wizards Politics, I want no horsing around in this room, twenty percent of your grade will be on in class projects, ten percent will be book assignments, and the other seventy percent is for tests and homework," Lucus said before going into explaining the basics, about how wizards had used the same system for over ten thousand years and it was still effective.

Near the end of class Kevin yelped and Henry whipped around to look at the teen behind him, Kevin's arm was bleeding. Hearing a curse shoot his way he pushed up a shield and turned to look directly at Rowon who had his wand trained on the group. Lucus moved towards the group and was permitted by Henry's shield to pass through and see the wound, which Dean had wrapped in his tie so it would not bleed even more.

"You may take him to the Infirmary," Lucus told Henry; he knew the whole group would go. But he was surprised when it took both Dean and Sam kicking Henry in the shins to get him to drop his killer glare at Rowon and turn and nod at him. Watching as Rowon shot another cutting curse at the group he banished the spell and looked at the redhead, "Headmasters office."

After dismissing the class and making sure Rowon was where he was sent Lucus headed up to the Infirmary and saw Madam Poppy had Henry on a bed and a thermometer in his mouth, Kevin was all healed up and the three boys sat on a bed watching as she ran diagnostics over Henry.

"I'm not sick," Henry tried to say but she pushed his mouth shut and pulled out the thermometer, "See perfect temperature."

"Hmm, still," the nurse said pulling out a vial of potion, "Drink this and lay back."

"I don't-" Henry started but she tilted his head back and poured the potion down his throat, coughing he went to say something else but she pushed him down onto the bed, "I'm fine I promise!"

"You did not come to my office first thing after dinner yesterday like you normally do," she said before checking a list of things, "Where did you spend the summer?"

"Parkersburg Drive where else?" Henry asked rolling his eyes.

"And they fed you?" she asked if eyes were narrowed on Henry's small form.

"I ate three square meals a day, slept eight hours every night, was not attacked, assaulted, or harmed all summer," Henry said, his friends were the only ones who knew about the abuse at the Dorothy's which is why he was willing to say this all, especially since he did not know Lucus was listening, "They went to America for the summer."

"All summer?" Sam asked, getting a nod as Henry sat back up and he narrowed his eyes, "What did you do?"

"I did nothing, not directly," Henry said jumping off the bed and grinning, "I had a friend who happened to be a high up in my Uncles firm send out fake invites to a resort there that should have lasted for a week, and another fake passports so they got arrested as soon as they crossed the borders."

"Good," Madam Poppy said before asking, "Have they returned?"

"Three days ago, but I was already at the Vertical Alley," Henry said before getting blinked at, "What I have friends in the States and they owed me favors."

"You are way too tricky to be a lion," Kevin said before suddenly looking at Henry his jaw hanging, "Wait is the secret Sam and Dean know about why you're a lion?"

"Possibly," Henry admitted before checking the time, "We have five minutes before we're late for Potions."

"Short cuts!" Dean called out pushing Henry towards the door, "Get us to class on time! Hop to it Wonder Boy."

"Fine…but you have to…keep up," Henry said before darting down the hall and jumping through a tunnel that dropped him three floors.
