Harry Potter and the son of Morgana LeFay

Chapter 22: Ch:22 The youngest Grandmaster in History



The great hall was soon filled with wispers about the newest gossip. Just then a storm of owls swarmed into the great hall and dropped the mail.

Mordred raised his hand and caught a falling newspaper.

He unrolled it and read the article on the front page.

"Youngest Potion Grandmaster in History,

Orion Green the youngest potion master in History has released three revolutionary research papers about miraciolous potions. Included is a potion that cures bad eyesight, the legendary lost healing potion Aurora's essence and a mind curing potion that restores memory fragments and cures trauma and other mental illnesses. Orion Green the potion genius of the millenium will be rewarded with the grandmaster title of potion-making as one of the best in the world. The minister of Magic has also announced that Orion Green will recieve the Order of Merlin for his valuable research althrough it isn't known which class he will recieve yet nor the time of the award ceremony. Like everyone else I am amazed how an eleven-year old boy could archive more than most adult wizards in their lifetime.

Written by Rita Skeeter" Mordred finished.

"You developed a potion that can cure crazy people? Does this potion also work on victims of the cruciatus curse?" Neville asked hopefully.

"Of course that was the main reason I developed this potion. We have lost a few exeptional wizards in the last wizarding war" Orion said and watched as Neville began crying.

"Sniff...you know my parents are also in St. Mungo because they went insane after the cruciatus...I...I grew up with my grandma. I will do my best to repay this dept..." Neville sniffled in joy and hugged Orion.

"You are welcome" Orion said and pattet Neville on the shoulder.

The whole Great Hall began to turn to Orion and Professor Snape began clapping loudly. The Slytherin table immediately joined with loud cheers and soon the whole Great Hall applauded.

Dumbledore stood up and signaled everyone to calm down.

"It seems like Hogwarts gained an exeptional Student this year. Orion Green not only became a potion master this year, he also was awarded the grandmaster title in potions as a result of his exeptional research that will save the life of hundreds of wizards in the near future. With that title he has become one of the best potion masters in the world. Because of that Orion Green will be exempt from all potions classes and Slytherin earns 200 house points" Dumbledore said and thunderous cheers came from the Slytherin table while the other houses just clapped in respect but frustrated notheless.

"Seems like the house cup is yours this year" Mordred joked.

"These arrogant bastards don't deserve it" Orion just sneered "well not that I would get anything out of that...so has anyone of you an Idea where I can loose these points again?" Orion said and smiled.

"Oh we might be able to help with that o great Orion LeFay Pendragon..."

"...the prince of Slytherin, allow us lowly beings to introduce us" the twins dramatically said.

"Oh I have heard of you already masters of pranks and mischief. It is an honour to meet you" Orion said equally dramatically.

The three looked at each other and burst out laughing.

"Well for a snake it seems you're pretty alright" one of the twins said.

"So about those points...we could offer our assistance"

"Yes like a small stroll in the forbidden forest..."

"...sneaking out of the shool to hogsmeade or playing tag with Filch" the other twin said.

"Well I'll remember that"Orion said thinking. He already had all kinds of dark magic he doubted he would find much more even in the restricted section and there wasn't really a need to go into the forbidden forest.

The restricted section doesn't have any dark magic to begin with because Dumbledore took out those books ages ago.

"Hey what about me? Does that mean I am now the prince of Gryffindor?" Mordred asked eagerly.

"Become a grandmaster first" the two just replied and laughed.

"Well it was nice to meet you.I'm going to finish my homework in the Library"Orion said.

"Oh great let me copy when you are finished" Mordred said

"Are you sure you want to copy my transfiguration essay?"

"Okay no but I need to do my essay anyways. I'll come with you" Mordred said.

"I'll also tag along. I still need to do my charms homework" Neville said.

The three of them stood up and went to the library.

On the way Orion just thought of a different thing he wanted to do. According to the plot the creator of the legendary firebolt which would dominate the broom industry for the next decade is currently looking for an Investor. It was a great opportunity for Orion to regain the gold he spent on all kinds of things.

So when they found a quiet place in the library he wrote a formal letter to Randolph Spudmore stating he would fund his research with unrestricted money in exchange for 40% of the company.

He signed with his real name since the cat was out of the bag anyways, Orion LeFay, heir of the royal and most ancient house of LeFay.

To verify his identity he also comanded his heir ring to transform into a sigil ring and stamped on the wax seal of the dokument.

"What are you doing?" Mordred asked "what letter needs your sigil ring?"

Orion just smiled and said "Investment".

He then summoned his trusted shadow raven Nyx and let it deliver his mail.

The raven picked up the rolled up paper and flew out of an opened window.

"Woah what was that?" Neville just exclaimed in suprise "you can summon a raven like that?"

"Nah Nyx is his familar want to see mine too?" Mordred just said and summoned his white cat.

"Woah how can you do that? Can you teach me?" Neville asked eagerly.

"That is ritual magic Neville labled as dark magic by the ministry of magic" Orion just said while rolling his eyes "the ministry seriously is stuck up".

"Who cares if nobody knows?" Neville just said and smiled.

"Come to think of it...don't we theoretically have the autority to dissolve the Wizengamot originated from the round table and the descendants of the Pendragon bloodline rule over it..." Mordred asked thinking.

"That is only in theory. No one of these stuck-up pureblood nobles is going to hand their power and influence to two teenagers. Don't even think about it before you have a private army or are as powerful as Dumbledore" Orion just said.

With that settled they just quickly finished his homework while intentionally doing a horrible job in transfiguration and charms theory. After all a potion genius and inventor could be overlooked by Dumbledore but if he starts to excel in combat relevant classes that paranoid old man would think he is a new dark lord in the making. No, he wanted to be underestimated in everything exept potions.
