Mrs. Weasleyhanded Scabbersto Ron just before the Hogwarts Expresshissedits departure signal. Meanwhile, Raja and theWeasley twinswere on aserious mission—

Operation: Slytherin Inspection.

Striding down the train infull theatrical mode,Raja made grand gestures as he peered into compartments.

"Behold, noble knights! We seekthe elusive Ferret Prince."

Fred nodded solemnly. "Aye,the Malfoy Species is rare, yet its ego is plentiful."

George grinned. "Keep your wands ready! If threatened,we must retaliate with extreme mischief."

They flung open aSlytherin compartmentdramatically, only to find Malfoy and his goonsmid-sneer.

"What do you want, Kumara?" Malfoy drawled.

Fred " how dare,you misbegotten spawn of the underworld!"

George " You're in the presence ofFuture Wizard King."

Raja waved his hand to control the Twins and assure them its alright.

Raja grinned. "Just checking if yourinherited arrogancesurvived the summer. Looksfully intact!"

Malfoy's Visibly irritated and sneer faltered, and Rajabowed mockinglybefore sweeping awaylike a victorious king.

Back in their compartment,a rather disheveled manlayasleep, snoring softly. His suitcase read:"Professor R. J. Lupin."

Hermione whispered, "He must be our new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor."

Ron poked the air. "You sure? Becausehe looks like he lost a fight with a laundry basket."

Harry, meanwhile, was still ranting aboutblowing up Aunt Marge,earning Ron's admiration and Hermione's disapproval.

The trainjerked to a stop.The air grewfreezing cold.

Then, theshadows moved.

ADementorglided into their compartment attacked Harry.Harry collapsed, hearing a woman's scream.

Then, in a flash—

"EXPECTO PATRONUM!"

Amassive Western Black Dragonburst forth from Raja's wand, roaring furiously.

The Dementor wasslammed out of the trainbefore the Dragon Patronusswooped through every compartment, hurling the creatures off the train like garbage.

The train shook as Rajastood atop the compartment, hiscloak billowing in the wind,channeling raw magical power.

Fred & George, distributing chocolate,announced like carnival barkers:

"Ladies and Gentlemen,recover from near-soul-sucking-death with our signature chocolate milkshake!Special order byHis Majesty, King Rudra!"

Lupin, now awake, peered out."Who...? Who did that?"

The twinsgestured at Raja,who was stillheroically maintaining the Patronus.

Lupin stared."Oh, Merlin's socks..."

As the students boarded thehorseless carriages, Raja patted his on the side. "Good horse."

Harry blinked. "Raja... there'sno horse."

Theinvisible Thestralnickeredand nudged Raja's shoulder.

Harry gawked."WHAT ARE YOU SEEING?!"

Raja simply smiled. "Wisdom beyond your years, Potter."

The Great Hall wasalive with chatteras Dumbledoregave his welcome speech.

Professor Lupinwas introduced as the new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher.Hagridwas announced as the newCare of Magical Creaturesteacher.Azkaban Dementorswould be guarding the school (which no one was happy about).

Then Dumbledoresmiled knowingly.

"Before we proceed, I must acknowledge anextraordinary act of bravery.One of our students repelledevery Dementorfrom the Hogwarts Expresswith a Mighty Dragon Patronus of legends."

Rajastood up, basking in the attention.

Dumbledore raised his hands. "I hereby award25 points to House Slytherin!"

Malfoychoked on air.

ProfessorTrelawney, afrazzled bundle of scarves and mysticism,floatedinto the room, knocking over a table.

"Welcome, my dear students!" she sang. "Open your minds to the Beyond!"

The classtriednot to giggle.

Trelawney questions Neville about his grandmother's well-being, implying something ominous.

Then cametea-leaf readings.

Ronexamined His cup."Well, there's a **wonky cross... trials and suffering... a sun, which is happiness... sooo..."

He shrugged."You're gonna suffer... but you'll be happy about it?"

Trelawneysnatched Harry's cupandgasped dramatically.

"OH NO! The Grim! A harbinger of DEATH!"

The classshuddered.

Then, she picked upRaja's cup.

Trelawneygasped.Her eyes rolledbackas shecollapsed to her knees.

The entire classfroze.

"OH!REINCARNATED MAGIC GOD!" she shrieked. "Bless this poor soul! May your presence in this mortal world elevate us lowly beings!"

The classdescended into chaos.

Raja, ever thedrama king,stood up slowly, basking in the attention.

"Arise,beautiful soul." His voiceboomed.

"Mymissionis toguide the misguided, punish the wicked, and bring balance to magic."

He struck aheroic pose.

"I WILL BEKING OF WIZARDS."

Aspotlight seemingly appeared from nowhere.

Hermionefacepalmed.

Ronburst into applause.

Harry muttered, "I swear to Merlin,this guy was born to be famous."

Meanwhile,Malfoy was in the corner, shaking.

"WHY. DOES. HE. KEEP. WINNING?!"

Trelawney, still in awe,proclaimed to the class:

"He is DIVINITY! The prophecy shall unfold!"

At this point,even the ghosts were watching.

As they left the classroom, Neville, stilldazed,whispered, "Raja...are you actually a god?"

Raja smirked. "Only time will tell " and Handed a Potion bottle for Neville and asked him to drink and he did without asking any questions.

Ron clapped a hand on his shoulder. "Mate, if you'renota god, you're doing agreat impression of one." "What Potion did you give Neville" as they walk and talk.

As theywalked through Hogwarts, whispers followed them.

Thelegend of Raja Kumarahad reachednew heights.

And the school year had only just begun.
