The Epic of Leviathan

[POV Reo(Edgar)]

I was worried... I was really worried. It has been 4 months since I have turned 11 and for Momo it has been 5 months. During this Christmas when Nemuri took me to the Tonks, I wasn't worried but now... this is a completely different matter. It's already March and the Nemuri is gonna turn 17 while Rumi is gonna turn 11 today, like both Momo and I who have been 11 for months.

Now, all of you must be wondering what I am so worried about, right? (A/N: Freaking wall breaker... now I am gonna have to work hard to fix it). Well... none of us have received our Hogwarts letter. All four of us are magical kids... so Nemuri got the letter, so why didn't we get it?

Yes, seeing Nemuri's address in our letter too may have made them wait... but I have never heard of something like that. But, it's also not normal to have four orphans to turn out magical who were living in the same house. But it is still confusing... and if somehow I don't get a letter, then this is going to put a huge hole in my plans...

Well, nothing could be done then... I would have to break into Hogwarts and do several things and one of them is to form a familiar contract with the Basilisk. Last month Momo had found a really nice book in the library which gave detailed explanations on how to learn Parseltongue. Apparently, Parsentongue was definitely a blood-related thing but Rowena Ravenclaw had broken the code and found a method to learn Parseltongue but obviously, it was a taxing process and we won't be able to pass this skill to our next generation. They have to learn from the ground up if they want.

Now, why wasn't this public knowledge? Because magical people are shitty and bigoted. Ravenclaws found that taking to any animal in this case snakes was below their status. Magical people also thought that becoming Animagus is below their class and status. They were high-status people how can they bring themselves to turn into an animal... Sometimes, I consider genocide but Momo and Rumi coaxed me out of it.

There was another problem... I don't think that I can become an Animagus because throughout 3 months I didn't get a single clue about my inner animal. Someone wrote that your Patronus form is commonly your Animagus form if you are able to become one. Momo already knew what her Animagus form was... she was an owl, quite obvious I know. Rumi was a rabbit... pretty surprising, right? Haha... no one laughed. Nemuri was a fox... I know I should have already known.

Suddenly a Ward in our flat flared meaning someone was here. Only someone from Hogwarts would come to this flat and no one else knew about this flat. This was a new kind of Ward made by Momo. This is was a trigger Ward that would only pick up if someone enters the premises and it used so little magic that no one could pick up the reaction except the people to whom the Ward stone was connected.

Momo, Rumi, and Nemuri immediately got dressed and ran into the kitchen while Nemuri went towards the door so that it would seem normal. No matter whoever arrived here I was more than confident that I can Confound them to make them think that nothing was out of normal. I was again betting my chips on Old Minnie Gi.

Someone knocked on the door and I jumped off the couch and ran up to the window. I looked through the glass and internally cheered that it was Minnie Gi so, I gave the signal to Nemuri to open the door. So, Nemuri opened the door.

"Professor McGonagall??" Nemuri acted really surprised and asked Minerva. I have to say Nemuri is a really good actor... though Minerva didn't seem surprised.

"Did something happen?? How can I help you? Please come inside" Nemuri fired off questions and asked Minerva to come inside. Minerva walked in and her eyes landed on me... I was already back in my previous place and I was reading a storybook.

I quickly used a passive Leglimency probe and found out that she was definitely carrying a letter for me. I don't know if she was carrying the other letters or not... for that, I have to delve deeper into her mind and she might notice me. I was only able to delve into the old goat's mind because he was busy with other thoughts.

"You don't have to worried about me coming here, Miss Parsons. I came here for him and other children that have been living with you" Minerva said in her usual stern attitude.

"Oh... yeah. I have been wondering when you are going to come for them... I picked them up from the orphanages when they didn't want to keep them because they thought they were evil. You know accidental magic" Nemuri said to Minerva and this is the chance I wanted. I immediately cast a Confounding charm on Minerva McGonagall... all of her doubts about this situation being weird was immediately thrown out of her mind.

"Oh... I see. If you don't mind can you please get Miss Alice Croftwell and Miss Roxanne Trift as well, I have to explain about magic and Hogwarts" Minerva said.

Nemuri nodded her head and called Momo and Rumi, both immediately appeared by Nemuri's side and Momo was behind Nemuri, she wanted to show that she was scared. Rumi was in her usual self stood by Nemuri's side.

"Professor McGonagall, I have already told them about magic and Hogwarts but if you want you can take them shopping" Nemuri said to Minerva. A normal Minerva would have scolded Nemuri by now but she was Confounded so Minerva just nodded her head thinking it was normal.

"No, it's completely fine, as they already know about magic and Hogwarts, my work here is done. I expect that you will take them shopping for school commodities and they will be at platform 9¾, right?" Minerva asked, she would never do this but a subtle but strong Confounding charm can do a lot of things.

Minerva just handed Nemuri our Hogwarts Acceptance Letter to which Nemuri just nodded her head. Minerva saw that and walked out of the house without saying anything more. No, one would notice that she was Confounded because according to her she followed the procedure that she should have done before leaving. I know Minerva McGonagall is nice and all but she trusts Old Dumbles too much and I can't have her run her mouth to him.

And I honestly don't think that Dumbles would be worried about three orphans living with a soon-to-be 7th year. He would be currently busy with finding Harry Potter or it would be his ass... oops... we are in Britain now, so arse on fire. Nemuri shouldn't be at home right now but she asked for a temporary leave from Hogwarts to claim the money and property that her made-up parents have left her. As her head of the house was Filius Flitwick, he happily gave her the leave without even consulting with Dumbles.

Nemuri closed the door and the ward told us the Minerva had already Apparited away. We sat down on the couch facing each other and tore open the letter.

HOGWARTS SCHOOL of WITCHCRAFT and WIZARDRY

Headmaster: Albus Dumbledore (Order of Merlin, First Class, Grand Sorcerer, Chief Warlock,

Supreme Mugwump, International Consideration of Wizards)

I cringed reading the titles of the Great Albus Too Many Names Dumbledore. I looked up towards Momo and Rumi and both of them had similar expressions. None of us made any comments, at least not for now, and continued reading.

Dear Mr. Edgar Maxwell, We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Please find enclosed a list of all necessary books and equipment. Term begins on 1 September. We await your owl by no later than 31st July.

Why the hell they are going to wait for our letter of acceptance by 31st July when Minerva McGonagall took our confirmation herself. Magical people are really odd and lack common sense.

Finally done with the front page I looked at the second parchment.

"Wow... then what are we waiting for?? Let's go shopping!!" I said.

"Yes!!" Momo, Rumi, and even Nemuri cheered when they heard shopping. Rumi might not like dates like other girls but she definitely likes shopping...
