Riding The Rails
8/31/1991, Train Car, Hogwarts Express
The young Witcher had been walking down the Hall of the train now before she saw that there was a red haired boy who went to enter a train car, remembering what they told her and the others, Ciri took a breath before she went to enter, “Anyone sitting there?” the redhead asked a bespectacled boy, “Everywhere else is full.” he said, the boy shook his head, “No, you and your friend can sit here.”
That made the boy look and see Ciri who gave him a smile and a wave before she went to follow him in, the two of them sitting opposite, Ciri looking at the bespectacled boy with a smile when she noticed two identical boys had come in, looking similar to the other Redhead, “Hey, Ron.” one of them said, “Listen, we’re going down the middle of the train, Lee Jordan’s got a giant tarantula down there.” he said.
“Right, the boy named Ron mumbled before the other one of the twins looked to the other boy, “Harry,” he said, giving Ciri another name, “did we introduce ourselves? Fred and George Weasley. And this is Ron, our brother.” he said with a smile before noticing her, “And you are?” one of them asked her, “Ciri.” she said to them with a smile like her Maman told her to do.
They seemed to ignore that now before looking to their brother, “See you later, then.” one of them told the group, “Bye.” Harry and Ron said towards the twins who left, shutting the compartment door and leaving them there, “Are you really Harry Potter?” Ron Weasley asked, making Ciri look towards him now with surprise, having heard about The First Wizarding War and how he killed the Dark Wizard as a baby.
Harry nodded towards that, surprising the other boy, “Oh… well, I thought it might be one of Fred and George’s jokes,” he told Harry which made Ciri like the twins more, “And have you really got… you know…” he asked, pointing towards the forehead of the boy which made him pull back his hair to reveal the lightning shaped scar, “Wow! So that’s what’s been making my medallion buzz.” she said.
That made the two of them curious about the phrase as she went and revealed that there was her Witcher Medallion, making the Ron gasp in shock, “You’re a Witcher!” he said with a gasp, making Harry look towards the two in confusion, “A Witcher…?” he asked in confusion, “Yeah! They’re these–!” “Shouldn’t I be explaining?” Ciri had asked, making the boy stop and look a bit worried.
“The Witchers are… we’re hunters.” she told the boy, “We have to go through a ritual and anyone with no magic can become stronger, faster, live longer and we get–” “Ciri, you’re rambling.” Kelpie said now, making the two of them flinch as her Totem rose out from her pocket and looked towards them now, “Whatever you think, you do not need to fear Ciri or the others.” She told the two.
“I didn’t know Hogwarts had Witchers.” Ron said towards her, making Ciri smile, “We’re new, me and Seven others will be the first students in Hogwarts.” she explained to them, making the boys curious by that now as Harry looked to them both, “Are both your family’s Wizards and Witchers?” Harry asked, making the two look.
“Er, yes, I think so,” Ron said, “I think Mom’s got a second cousin who’s an accountant, but we never talk about him.” Ron explained while Ciri nodded, “My Da is a Witcher, Maman’s a Sorceress.” she explained which made Ron gap in shock, “So she’s a Wizard?” Harry asked, making her shake her head, “Better.” Ciri said with a smile while Ron looked at Harry, “I heard you went to live with Muggles,” he said to him.
“What are they like?” the Weasley asked, making the boy give a face towards them, “Horrible– well, not all of them. My aunt and uncle and cousin are, though.” he said towards them, “Wish I had three wizard brothers.” the boy said which made Ciri scowl towards that while Ron answered, “Five,” he admitted, gloomily, “I’m the sixth in our family to go to Hogwarts.” he said towards them.
“You could say I’ve got a lot to live up to. Bill and Charlie have already left…” The Boy explained and both kids were curious, “Bill was head boy and Charlie was captain of Quidditch. Now Percy’s a prefect. Fred and George mess around a lot, but they still get really good marks and everyone thinks they’re really funny.” he said, using phrases that Maman told her about before.
“Everyone expects me to do as well as the others, but if I do, it’s no big deal, because they did it first. You never get anything new, either with five brothers. I’ve got Bill’s old robes, Charlie’s old wand, and Percy’s old rat.” he told them and hearing that, Ciri spoke, “Having a lot of siblings sounds nice.” she said to him, “I mean, the other Witchers my age are like my brothers and sisters.” Ciri told him.
“Really?” Ron asked, “I thought you all stole kids and used old alchemy to make them like…” he started to say before Ciri pouted, “Sorry.” he said towards her, “None taken, they used to do so during Uncle Vesemir’s time.” Ciri said, “But now they adopt from orphanages, take volunteers… they can even have children and they can become Witchers too.” She said towards them both now
That made them both a bit fascinated as they started to talk amongst each other now, it was a nice moment of calm that they had with each other right now, talking amongst each other before that there was a woman that had been walking down the hall with a cart full of candy, “Anything off the cart, dears?” she asked, making Ciri start to lick her lips as she went and got up.
Harry was close behind, but as he moved with her, they could hear the sound of Ron mutter that he’d brought sandwiches and hearing that, Ciri and Harry both looked towards each other before they nodded, her first day away from her parents(Her little escape to Brokilon not counting), and she was getting everything that she and Harry could grab from the cart, bringing it back now.
“Hungry, are you?” Run asked the duo, “Starving,” Harry said as he bit into a pumpkin pasty while Ron pulled apart a sandwich, “She always forgets I don’t like corned beef.” he muttered out loud, “Swap you for one of these,” Harry told him, “Go on–” “You don’t want this, it’s all dry,” Ron explained, “She hasn’t got much time, you know with five of us.” he admitted to the two.
Ciri had just rolled her eyes, “For Pete’s sake.” she said, taking the pumpkin pasty and two of Ron’s sandwiches, she gave him the two and then gave Harry one of the sandwiches, “There, now let's eat already.” she said, chomping down into the Corned Beef, liking the taste of it as they proceeded to tear apart the wrappers and get into the candies that were there.
Ciri almost vibrating with all of the sugar inside of her body now, “What are these?” Harry asked, holding up a pack of chocolate frogs, “They’re not really frogs, are they?” he said, making Ciri almost choke on her food, trying not to laugh, “No,” Ron told him, “But see what the card is. I’m missing Agrippa.” the boy told him which made Ciri roll her eyes while Harry was confused.
“What?” he asked of him, “They have collectible cards in each packet.” Ciri explained to the boy, “They’re filled with famous Mages.” Ciri said, not liking the exclusion of Witchers while Ron got excited, “I’ve got about five hundred, but I haven’t got Agrippa or Ptolemy.” the boy told Harry as he unwrapped it and revealed the card, Ciri looking and seeing that it was the headmaster of Hogwarts.
“So this is Dumbledore!” Harry had said out loud now, making Ron give a look, “Don’t tell me you’d never heard of Dumbledore!” Ron said towards him, “Can I have the frog? I might get Agrippa, thanks.” Ron said as he took it over, Ciri looked towards the writing on it, talking about how he was headmaster, defeating Grindlewald like Vesemir said, his discoveries and partnering with Nicholas Flamel.
The boy seemed curious about the information before he looked back towards the other side, “He’s gone!” the Mage said, shocked by the sight, “Well, you can’t expect him to hang around all day,” Ron told Harry, “He’ll be back. No, I’ve got Morgana again and I’ve got about six of her… do you want it? You can start collecting.” Ron said towards him, looking at the frogs unwrapped while Ciri opened hers.
“Yes, Maman!” she shouted with a smile now, revealing the card and making the boys curious as she revealed the image of her, Ron blushing as Harry was curious, “That’s your mom?” he asked her, “One of them, Maman and Da took me in when Mum and grandma passed away.” she told them as the woman flipped the card to read over what was written about her.
“Yennefer Vengerburg, one of the most famous Sorceresses in Wizarding history, currently head of The Departmet of Public Information Services. Yennefer is a quarter–elf student of Aretuza and friend of Villentretenmerth. She and The Witcher Geralt had been a part of The Battle of Sodden Hill as well were a part of the group in 1945 against Grindelwald.” It said.
Ciri smiled while the two looked at the seemingly young woman in the picture, “THAT’S your Mum?” Ron asked as Harry was confused, “So they move unlike Muggle photos?” Harry asked, making the duo look to him, “Weird.” the pair said in unison now as the two of them started to dig into the frogs with Harry, Ron explaining the candies while Ciri started to enjoy them, at least until a new boy looked in.
“Sorry,” the boy said, “But have you seen a toad at all?” he asked of them, making the three shake their heads, in response, the boy wailed, “I’ve lost him! He keeps getting away from me!” the boy said to them, “He’ll turn up.” Harry promised the now sad boy, “Yes, well, if you see him…” “Do you mind if Kelpie and I join the hunt?” she asked of the boy who looked to her.
“Really?” he asked of her, “Yeah… you need help.” Ciri said towards him as she got up and went to follow after him, “Ciri.” the young Witcher said as she offered her hand, “Nneville Longbottom.” Neville said towards her as she shook his hand, “Nice to met you, Neville.” the girl said as Kelpie started to float, “Can you find a Toad, Kelpie?” she asked of the Totem that floated.
“We’ve tracked wolves before… let me see if a Toad is possible.” The Totem said towards his partner as Neville looked at her, “I thought that only Witchers had Totems?” he asked and hearing that, Ciri had revealed her medallion, “That’s because I am.” the Witcher said towards the boy which made him a bit surprised, looking towards her with some surprise now when they saw there was something.
The students were looking and seeing that there was a girl that was staring at the Totem in wonder, “Hi there,” Ciri said to her, “Did you see a Toad somewhere around here? Neville lost his.” She explained for the nervous boy, “No, can I help?” she asked and hearing that, the two of them nodded, Kelpie returning to Ciri, “What is that supposed to be?” she asked.
“This is Kelpie, my Totem.” Ciri said with a smile, loving the little creature before the girl offered her hand, excited at the sight of everything especially with the fact she was already wearing her Hogwarts Robes, “Okay, so lets start here.” Hermione said, walking back and towards the compartment that they just came out from, the two boys looking with Ron having a wand in his hand.
“Has anyone seen a Toad? Neville’s lost one.” the girl said towards the boys, “We’ve already told him we haven’t seen it, Ciri was here when he asked!” he said, making her shrug, “I like chaos.” Ciri said while the girl noticed what he was going to do, “Oh, are you doing magic? Let’s see it, then.” the girl said before going to sit down, bossy while Ciri liked as he spoke.
“Sunshine, daisies, butter mellow, turn this stupid fat rat yellow.” Ron said with a chant, but there was nothing going on and nothing happened, “Are you sure that’s a real spell?” the girl asked of Ron, “Well, it’s not very good, is it? I’ve tried a few simple spells just for practice and it’s all worked for me. Nobody in my family’s magic at all, it was ever such a surprise when I got my letter,” the girl ranted.
“But I was ever so pleased, of course, I mean, it’s the best school of witchcraft there is, I’ve heard– I’ve learned all our course books by heart, of course, I just hope it will be enough– I’m Hermione Granger by the way, who are you?” Hermione said, the boys looking at each other while Ciri spoke, “I’m Ciri, I’m here with Seven other Witchers for school.” she told her with a smile.
“I’m Ron Weasley.” Ron muttered towards her, “Harry Potter.” Harry told her while Hermione looked towards them both with wonder, “Are you both really?” she asked them, focusing on Harry, “I know all about you, of course… I got a few extra books. For background reading, and you’re in Modern Magical History and The Rise and Fall of the Dark Arts and Great Wizarding Events of the Twentieth Century.”
“Am I?” Harry asked, “Of course,” Ciri told him, “Everyone whose everyone knows about how you slayed the Dark Wizard.” Ciri said as Hermione looked to her, “And you're one of those Monster Slayers? The ones that live for Centuries?” she asked, surprising Harry as Ciri nodded, “Yes, though the oldest on Record is The Old Dragon who runs The Viper School, he’s almost Three Hundred.”
Hermione seemed fascinated by that before she turned to them all, “Do any of you know what house you’ll be in?” she asked, “I’ve been asking around, and I hope I’m in Gryffindor, it sound by far the best; I hear Dumbledore himself was in it, but I suppose Ravenclaw wouldn’t be too bad… Anyway, we’d better go and look for Neville’s toad. You three had better change, you know, I expect we’ll be there soon.”
Hermione left with Neville while Ciri pouted, “Ravenclaw’s the best,” Ciri muttered, “My Maman was a Ravenclaw and Merlin was a Slytherin, Gryffindors aren’t perfect.” Ciri muttered now while Ron spoke, “Whatever house I’m in, I hope she’s not in it.” Ron told the pair as he threw his wand back into his trunk while Ciri got her robes, “Stupid Spell, George gave it to me, bet he knew it was a dud.” Ron said.
“Oh definitely, my Uncle Jaskier told me that spell, it was a prank back when he was a Slytherin in Hogwarts.” Ciri said, making Ron relieved by the statement, “What house are your brothers in?” Harry asked of Ron, having heard from Ciri her family, “Gryffindor.” he told the group, gloom beginning to come on his expression, “Mom and Dad were in it, too. I don’t know what they’ll say if I’m not.” Ron worried.
“I don’t suppose Ravenclaw would be too bad, but imagine if they put me in Slytherin.” the red head said towards them as Harry connected the dots, “That’s the house Vol– I mean, You–Know–Who was in?” he asked of the pair, making Ciri and Ron nod, “I mean, good people were too, my Uncle Jaskier became one in 1968.” she told the group, defending her Uncle.
The kids looked towards her with a bit of surprise by her statement, a little bit of awkwardness as Ron looked towards his rat, “You know, I think the ends of Scabbers’ whiskers are a bit lighter,” Harry said, trying to be nice to him as their minds started to drift away from her defense, “So what do your oldest brothers do now that they’ve left, anyway?” Harry asked of the boy.
“Charlie’s in Romania studying dragons under an Aurelian, and Bill’s in Africa doing something for Vivaldi & Gringotts,” Ron said towards the two of them, “Did you hear about Vivaldi & Gringotts? It’s been all over the Daily Prophet and the Kingdoms Bard, but I don’t suppose you get that with the Muggles–” “My Da was there to investigate the robbery.” she told them.
The boys were both surprised by the reveal, “Really? What happened to them?” Harry asked of her, but Ciri shook her head, “Sorry all I can say is that they didn’t get anything.” Ciri said towards them, “No one’s been caught… but it was obviously someone skilled in Dark Magic.” she explained, making them curious by the statement before Ron spoke towards them.
“What’re your Quidditch Teams?” Ron asked the two, hearing that, Harry was confused, “Er, I don’t know any.” Harry admitted, “And I never had an interest in the sport.” Ciri added, not seeing the point as he spoke, “Oh, you wait, it’d the best game in the world–” he said, telling them everything that there was about it, Ciri staying quiet and blocking him out as he explained.
While Ron explain the finer points of the game when the door slid open, revealing that there was four boys, one of who that Ciri recognized, “Is it true?” the blonde boy said, making them curious, “They’re saying all down the train that Harry Potter’s in this compartment. So it’s you, is it?” the boy asked of Harry, “Yes.” he said towards him while Ciri snarled, “And what’s it to you?” the girl asked.
He glared towards the girl, about to say something when Vigo elbowed him, making the boy collect himself, “Oh, this is Crabbe and this is Goyle, this here is Fenrin, a Witcher.” he added as Vigo nodded to Ciri, both smiling, “And my name’s Malfoy, Draco Malfoy.” he told them all, making Ron try to hide a snigget made the boy look towards him with a glare now.
“Think my name’s funny, do you? No need to ask you you are. My father told me al the Weasleys have red hair, freckles, and more children than they can afford.” he said towards them, “And The Malfoy’s are all arrogant supremacists who don’t know when to hold their tongues.” she said towards the boy, making him glare towards girl when he saw the witcher medallion she had on and the blades in her bag.
Deciding to not deal with the Witcher, he looked back at Harry, “You’ll soon find out some wizarding families are much better than others, Potter. You din’t want to go making friends with the wrong sort. I can help you there.” he promised which made Ciri stand up now, “My Maman told me about your father, and I’m sure unlike him, Harry has better judgement on who he should associate with.” the girl said.
“And who is your mother?” Draco snarled towards her, making Ciri smile as she revealed the card to him, making the boy read it over and see that there was her, “Yennefer Vengerberg? The Sorceress?” he asked her, “Yes, and if you don’t start to leave, I’ll show you what she and Geralt Rivia taught me.” she snarled, making the boy blush pink before going to walk off.
“Bye Vigo, see you at Hogwarts.” Ciri said towards the boy who smiled at the girl, both of them glad to see each other, “You can’t just–” “She did and she will hurt you, take a breath, and live to fight another day.” Vigo told him, recalling what HIS teacher told him, “But we don’t feel like leaving, do we, boys?” Draco asked the larger boys who seemed ready to hurt someone.
The two boys at the ready to hurt someone before the Witcher stood up front and decided Axii was needed, “You should get to your own compartment.” the girl said, making the three of them appear to consider it, “We’ll head to our own compartment.” Goyle said for them, the trio leaving while Vigo only smirked, “See you at Hogwarts, Ciri.” he told her with a wave before going to head out.
As he left, Hermione was close behind, coming to see what happened, “What has been going on?” she said to the trio, “It looks like they weren’t interested in causing a situation before we got to Hogwarts.” the Witcher told them, seeing how Scabbers fell asleep during the situation, “You’ve met Malfoy before?” Ron asked of Harry who nodded, telling of his meeting in Diagon Alley with Malfoy.
“I’ve heard of his family,” Ciri told them, Ron nodding, having also, “Maman said they were some of the first to come back to The Ministry’s side after The Dark Wizard disappeared.” she told them, “They told everyone they’d been bewitched. Da doesn’t believe them. Says that anyone, ‘commoner’ Pure Blood, Noble or Royal didn’t need an excuse to go over to the Dark Side.” Ciri told them.
Ron nodded, agreeing with her as he looked over to Hermione, “Can we help you with something?” Ron asked of her, “You’d better hurry up and put your robes on, I’ve just been up to the front to ask the conductor, and he says we’re nearly there. You haven’t been fighting, have you? You’ll be in trouble before we even get there!” she said and hearing that, Ciri spoke.
“Not to worry, me and my friend Vigo dealt with them.” she said with a smile when Ron looked, “Ciri, I know you sat here too, but would you mind leaving while we change?” he asked her, making the girl shrug, “Fine by me, Hermione? Can I use your compartment? Also, Ron, you’ve got dirt on your nose.” the young Witcher told him before she followed after Hermione.
“Thank you.” Ciri said to Hermione with a smile, liking the girl even if she thought Gryffindor was the best, and started to change into her robes, they were too baggy, too flowing, but then the voice spoke, “We will be reaching Hogwarts in five minutes time. Please leave you luggage on the train, it will be taken to the school separately.” it said and hearing that, Ciri wondered what she’d see there.

Yennefer and Geralt were both at her desk with Mouse, all of the mentors but Remus were nervous, they all worried for their charges in their own way, the two of them were thinking on how they were going to not ‘not’ help her when Mouse had found a file which she opened and then looked over, “<Am I going to be a Student at Hogwarts?>”
The pair of them smiled towards her, “Oh? And what House do you think you’ll be in?” Yennefer had asked, making Geralt grunt, “Better question is what house do you think they’ll try to shove our girl into?” he asked, and before they could talk about it, the door had been thrown open and entering was Sylvia Anna Di Toussaint who was barging in, dressed in a woman’s pants suit that she preferred.
“PLEASE tell me that you two took photos?” Syanna had asked of them, making Yennefer chuckle as she went and pulled out the photos that had been taken by Jaskier, Syanna smiling as she took them, “Ugh! I hate that Cahir and I were busy with Fudge!” she snapped, making Mouse start to sign to Ciri’s sort of Aunt, “<Jaskier was there, so you’d have to try and kill him.>” she told her.
Syanna shrugged in agreement towards that, her sister, Anarietta, had told her that Jaskier was a prat that needed to be dealt with, he had been banished from Toussaint after he had broken her heart and Syanna was obligated to at least assault him a little bit if she ever saw him, “Alright then… so what are we talking about?” Syanna asked of them, so Geralt answered her.
“We were talking about what House in Hogwarts we think that Ciri will join.” he said and hearing that, Syanna gave a look, having been told about the types of people in each one before speaking, “I think that she’d be… a Hufflepuff?” she asked of them, making the two of them look at her, “She’s loyal and a hard worker, that is why.” The Toscana said towards them.
But Geralt shook his head, “She’s no Jaskier, so not a Slytherin… maybe a Ravenclaw or Gryffindor?” he said towards them and hearing that, Yennefer smiled, “Gryffindor.” She told them, making the two of them look towards the group and hearing that, the two gave a look, “Oh?” Syanna asked, making Yennefer chuckle, “Because out of everything, our ugly one is courageous.” Yennefer told them.
Hearing that, the others couldn’t argue, Mouse started to tap, wanting to draw their attention, they were about to look towards her when another person entered, making the group see that it was Albie, the Scholar Witcher that acted as Mentor of The London Den, “Ah, there you are, Geralt.” he said with a smile, making the Witcher uncomfortable, ever since he had first met the man.
Albir had been around as long as Vesemir, but The Scholar, those that worked within the Dens and acting as political animals that ran around Ministries and made sure that they would be properly funded and that there wouldn’t be any Witcher hunts in the late 12th Century, “I wanted to see how your investigation was going with The Vault in Vivaldi’s and Gringotts.” Albie told the man.
Hearing that, Geralt sighed, “If there’s anything that I find out, I’ll let you know.” he said towards that and hearing that, Albie only chuckled towards that before he walked further in, “Madame Di Toussaint, we need to talk about the Wolf Witchers who have been staying in Toussaint.” he said and hearing that, Syanna got annoyed, “Wait, what about Wolf Witchers in Toussaint?” he asked.
Hearing that, Albie lost his smile, “Witchers have been murdered in Toussaint… Wolf, Bears, Cats… no one is safe and it makes things concerning…” Albie said and hearing that, they were curious about that before Yennefer spoke, “Wait… isn’t Toussaint the home of Vampires?” The Sorceress asked, causing confusion for Mouse, “<Didn’t Uncle Vesemir say they were like Herpes?>” she asked.
“That’s the turned.” Geralt told her, those changed with The Vampire Virus were those that shared blood with a Higher Vampire infected with what people would consider an STD, “Toussaint is home to The Higher Vampires and their elders.” The Witcher Master said and hearing that, the girl was confused while Albie sighed, “It looks like it’s a Higher Vampire, but The Patrons seem to be slacking for a bit.”
The Patrons were their researchers, their builders, their alchemists and scientists who were also in charge of assisting Obliviators with cover ups, “We have lost multiple Hunters, Specialists and Pack members from the attacks, and I wanted to see what your sister is planning to do about it all.” the man said towards Syanna said and hearing that, the man sighed, “We may need to mobilize some Slayers or talk to THEM.”
To bring in Slayers was a serious issue, and the idea that they were going to be brought in? They didn’t want a war with the Higher Vampires, no one wanted that in this day and age, and it made the group a bit worried about the possibility when Geralt spoke, “If anything like that happens, then we all know that the Marshal will let everyone know.” he told them before going to leave.
As he walked away, the three of them sighed for different reasons, then panic when they saw that Mouse was trying to escape via the vents once again, making them start to get a bit worried with that as Geralt went to grab at the little girl, “No.” he warned towards her, making Mouse pout towards the sound of that as they had just hoped that there was nothing dangerous going on in Hogwarts THIS year.

Ciri and the rest of the students came out and as they did so, there was a voice shout out, “Firs’ years! Firs’ years over here! All right there, Harry?” a giant said out loud, making the girl look as the seven other Witcher trainees looked towards each other while Remus approached, lighting his pipe, “Well then, this is where we split up.” he told them with a chuckle as Gracie went to hug her father figure.
“We’ll see you there, right?” Gracie asked, making the Mentor nod towards that, “I’ll be at the table with the other teachers, I want you all to behave, and you three.” he said, pointing towards Ciri and the twins, “I expect you all to listen during your lessons, you've got a lot to learn from The Mages there, and you’ll be better off for it, understood?” he asked of them, making all eight of them nod.
“Understood, Remus.” the group said in unison, making a few of the kids give them strange looks as they all went to leave now, heading towards the trail that the others were taking, the eight of them looking into the shadows now, looking to see if there was anything that could be hiding in the dark to hurt them, their Totems and signs ready for whatever might pop up.

8/31/1991, Hogwarts, Hodsmeade
“Ye’ all get yer firs’ sight o Hogwarts in a sec.” Hagrid told them all, “Jus’ round this bend here.” he explained and as they all started to look, the new students there all spoke up, “Oooooh!” they all said except for the Witchers who were looking towards it all, “Everyone, I want to talk before you follow Rubeus.” Remus said towards the group.
Hearing that, they paused, looking towards each other before seeing how there was a expression on them all, “Before we all go to Hogwarts and join them as the student body and staff, I want to give you all a few rules to make sure that we’re all well behaved.” he said towards them, making the Eight of them come to attention and listen to the man, “First off, no swords in the school.” he told them.
That made the kids all glare, some of them starting to shout, “I mean the school proper, not the courtyards and such.” He explained which calmed them down, “We don’t want to endanger anyone or let them have a chance to steal them.” Remus said, going to light his pipe, “We’ll be training in the barracks where a course like back home is set up.” he detailed towards the group.
All of the Wolf Pups had looked over the maps and knew where The old Barracks were, so that was good, “On the matter of signs, use them in practice or with permission in public.” Remus told them, knowing it would be ridiculous to tell them that they couldn’t, the group all smiling towards that as he continued to speak, “And finally, You’re Wolves first, your houses second.” the man stated.
The eight of them all nodded towards that, they were Witchers, some of them could act as Mages like Ciri and twins, they might make friends, they might make enemies, but they were at least going to have each other, “My camera!” Ciri said towards them in surprise, wondering where her device was since she left it with the large bag that was on the train, “Don’t worry.” Vigo said.
“You can use mine.” he stated, making the girl smile towards that, going and starting to take photographs of everything, Angelice glared towards that before Ciri went to take photos of them all with a smile, “Mouse is going to love these!” the girl explained and hearing that, the kids all grinned in response, each of them having their own thoughts on what was going to happen before they saw that the others were moving.
They started to follow the trail like the others, Ciri had seen that the four she had seen before were already on the move, Ciri waved and Neville did so as well, things were going to be interesting for them there, The Witchers were going to be a part of the school, there might be for annoying people like that Draco boy, but they were not going to let anyone stop them.
