chapter 4
Nathen pov.
I woke up to the feeling of someone tapping my shoulder slightly. In pure reaction I grabbed their wrist and brought them close to my face to intimidate. When I opened my eyes I saw Hermione blushing like crazy. I let go of her wrist. "Sorry about that Ms. Granger." I say apologetic. "Instinct." She never moved her head still blushing. "Hermione?" I asked to which she shook her head.
"Sorry. I uh it's uh almost breakfast time. Thought you should know." She stammered as she moved her face away from mine.
"Thank you. I'll be down soon." I say sitting up from the couch and stretched. I saw hermione left the room fast after that and I smirked. "She wants me." I said in my thickest American joking accent. I laughed and went up to the bedrooms to change. When I came down I was fixing my tie before tucking it in my sweater. "Why do we have to wear these sweaters? It's like 100 degrees in here." I mutter as I checked my wrist. "Ah good still there." I pocketed my wand and walked out of the common room nodding to the fat lady politely before looking over a railing to see the stairs changing. "Oh changing obstacles." I smirk before vaulting over the railing dropping on to a set of stairs that was moving. I then jumped off that one and grabbed a railing 3 feet down. I then rolled down my right sleeve revealing my hidden blade with a grapple attachment. I unhook the grapple and tie it around the rail I'm hanging on before jumping down and free falling to the bottom floor. As I jumped off I landed quite loudly startling a teacher who was shorter than me who I recognized.
"My gracious where did you come from?" Professor flitwick asked as I tugged on my thread effectively getting it loose and it going back into my hidden blade.
"Sorry sir. I was just doing a bit of parkour." I said sincerely he gave me a confused look. "Oh its basically falling but with stlye." I explain as he gives me a bewilder look. "So what's for breakfast?"
"OH MY GOD HOW ARE YOU ALIVE?!" A british voice yelled out and I turned around to see hermione staring at me with fear, anger, relief, and admiration in her eyes.
"What?" I say before getting smacked upside the head by one of her books. "OW!"
"How are you so stupid to jump from the top of the stairs?!" She yelled out and I noticed a bunch of students staring out of the great hall at us. Mostly older students and a few teachers. I immediately saw Professor Mcgonagall who was watching with confusion.
"Its what I do." I say trying to calm her down as Mcgonagall started to walk over to us. Professor Flitwick had walked away by now.
"What seems to be the problem Ms. Granger?" She asked as hermione then looked at Mcgonagall.
"He jumped from the top of the moving stairs." She said as Mcgonagall looked at me for confirmation. I nodded yes and she sighed.
"Mr. Ryan I don't know what kind of policy they have at Ilivermorny about this, but it is generally frowned upon to do that." She said with sadness which I noticed immediately. "You're so much like your father. Especially your eyes." I looked at hermione who kept looking between Mcgonagall and me as if she solving an enigma.
"It won't happen again ma'am." I say to Mcgonagall. "I shall not jump from the staircase again." I say as she smiled. I then looked at hermione who still looked confused.
"Well off to breakfast with you 2. I would recommend hurrying." She said and walked away before stopping and looking at me. "Come see me later at lunch we will have to talk." She said before going into great hall which was cool since the door was effectively pack with students staring. I then looked at hermione.
"Why do you look like your trying to solve a math problem?" I asked as she looked at me.
"I didn't realize how much you and Mcgonagall look alike." She said as I tilted my head. I saw Fleur make eye contact with me and I remembered that letter I sent last night after my, 'dream'.
"I don't know what your talking about but I have to go talk to someone." I say patting hermione's shoulder and going up to fleur. "Shall we?" I asked her as she nodded and we walked off to talk.
Hermione pov.
I watched him walk away with fleur. I felt my stomach twist slightly at the thought of what they might be doing before remembering my previous thought. I walked into the great hall and sat with Ron and Harry. They raised and eyebrow as I looked at Professor Mcgonagall who was holding an opened letter. "You okay Herm?" Ron asked as I looked at them.
"Do you know if Professor Mcgonagall has any children?" I asked as they looked at one another before shrugging. I then decided there that I was going to figure out why they looked so similar.
Fleur pov.
As Nathen and myself walked thr grounds of Hogwarts I felt my eyes going over to him quite frequently. His childish face he had previously changed into a hardened and wise one. He had a scar going over his right cheek. His silver eyes shown remorse and regret. His naked chin was now covered in manly hair and I found myself wanting to kiss him. "Miss Delacour I must apologize first of all for how I contacted you last night, but i just couldn't risk someone seeing me talk to you."
"Its fine Nathen. Why are we 'ere though?" I asked with a soft smile as we got to the bridge.
"To many people in the great hall. But I think it's time you knew what I do." He said leaning on a support column of the bridge. I then noticed how he had a ring on his finger with a weird little triangle.
"What do you do Monsieur Ryan?" I asked as he looked at me with a small frown.
"I'm an assassin."
