Chapter 3 - Hermione Granger

Ron looked terrified. Losing points even before joining Hogwarts. He will definitely get scolded by his mother. He hurriedly apologized," i apologise professor Night. I won't do it again. Please don't deduct points ", Michael burst out laughing and said," how's the prank Ron? ".

Ron's face turned red, he realised he pranked again by Michael. Harry also burst out laughing looking at this. Michael turned to Harry Potter and said," well Harry. Be careful in hogwarts, you don't know how many story books there are in your name. Many may ask autographs too and expect great things from you ".

Harry shifted uncomfortably in his seat, he visited diagon alley and know about these story books written with him as the main character. Ron seemed to realise something and turned to Michael who winked at him with a small smile.

Michael took out one such story book and said," well anyway. Better practice from now. Sign your autograph on this. I'll sell it to some profit. Afterall a copy signed by Harry Potter himself will get h a good price isn't it Ron? ".

Harry Potter looked bith bewildered and confused. Ron held back his laughter and Harry realised the new professor pranked him too. He also burst out laughing while Michael put a hand on his shoulder and said," yes that's what young wizards should be like. Cheerful and laughing with joy. I have few treats for you. Here eat them ".

Ron immediately stopped laughing and backed away but Harry took one candy and ate it under the scared look of Ron. Michael smiled again mischievously while Harry's face turned into lion and he roared before turning back into human head.

He looked complete blank. Michael asked," so how is the beast butter toffee Mr Potter. Do you want more? ", Harry shook his head and sat back with some fear. Ron whispered into his ears," be creaful with this guy Harry. He is a notorious prankster in Hogwarts. My brothers Fred and George learned from him. Watch out for anything he gives ".

Harry nodded. He decided to be cautious around this guy. Michael offered few treats to them but they didn't take any. Michael shrugged and ate them. As the train moved, the trolley lady appeared. Harry bought many things from the trolley because he is hungry and don't trust food from Michael anymore.

While they're eating, a girl with bushy brown hair opened the door. A wild Hermione Granger appeared.

Michael lips curled up while Ron looked at Hermione with some pity. Before the girl can speak Michael said," who are you miss? ", Hermione said," I'm Hermione Granger ", Michael nodded and said," Miss Granger for your disrespect of not knocking on the door, I'm deducting 10 points from whatever house you're going to sort into ".

Hermione looked bewildered and cast a pleading gaze at Michael while Michael said,"I'm just kidding. So why are you here? ", Hermione breathed a sigh of relief and said," a boy named Neville lost his frog. I'm here to ask if someone saw it ", Michael snapped his fingers again and a frog flew towards them croaking. He put it in a transfigured cage from a wrapper and secretly enchanted it to throw the frog on the face of Neville.

He gave it to Hermione and sent her away with mischievous smile. Ron asked," professor, you didn't do anything like a prank there right? ", Michael chuckled and said," except enchanting the cage to throw frog on the face of the next person who grabbed, I didn't do anything ".

Ron said with a smile," professor you're so evil ", he imagined the scene and know what reaction Neville will have. Sure enough a few moments a boy's scream echoed through the train. Michael smiled while Harry gulped looking at Michael.

Is he going to be okay with a teacher like this. This question is keep on running in his mind. As the train stopped in hogsmeade, Michael disappeared from everyone's sight. When all first years entered the great hall, only then they saw Michael in professors table.

The great hall is filled with whispers looking and pointing at Michael. The sorting also started. After sorting Dumbledore stood up and said the instructions before introducing Michael," professor Michael Night will teaching you Alchemy from now on. Let us give a warm welcome to him ".

Professor Snape looked gloomy. He can't help but curse Dumbledore for hiring this troublemaker. In terms of troublemaking, he far surpassed the Marauder's and even formed his own group of pranksters which he named Zodiac.

Others also have varied reactions. Ravenclaws jumped with joy since he is from their house. Hufflepuffs only clapped since this guy didn't bother them so much. But both Griffyndoor and Slytherin looked dejected. They're the constant victims afterall. Michael bowed dramatically to the crowd before sitting down. As the feast began, Michael clicked his wineglass with Flitwick.
