Chapter 8
As they awoke, Emma snapped to attention, breaking from Danny's embrace and standing awkwardly across the cabin. "Oh god. What a mess. I'm, oh god." she was blushing intensely as she spoke, clearly having lost control. "Here, let me." she said, and with a wave of her hands, Danny felt an odd feeling pass over him, after which he found himself completely clean and dry.
He turned around, confused as to the sudden change, then back to Emma. "How did you do that?"
"Oh, just a bit of magic. It's what we're here for after all." she said, smiling slightly. With the same wave of her hands, Danny watched as the filth seemed to simply vanish off of her, leaving her naked body as clean and perfect as it had ever been. "We should get going. We're probably running behind." she said, throwing on her sweater. Danny could feel himself hardening again as she bent over to pull up her jeans, but he stopped himself, instead choosing to get his own pants on.
When they were dressed, Emma stood across from him in the tiny cabin and smiled, giving him a small peck on the cheek. "You might be busy from now on, what with being famous and all, but make some time for me, huh? This was a lot of fun."
Danny wanted to say that he couldn't really picture himself not fucking her again, but instead he simply said, "Tons."
"Come on, we don't want to be late!" Emma said after a moment, rushing out of the cabin and into the hall.
As Danny might have expected, the others were slowly emerging from their cabins, some dressed and clean like them, but the majority were either disheveled, covered in cum, or naked. It seemed that despite everyone having spent their time on the train doing the same thing, only a handful knew how simple it was to clean up after themselves.
As they walked to the exit, they both found Grint. It was the first time either had seen him with clothes. He was wearing a green sweater and jeans. He came up behind the both of them and threw an arm around each. "You missed one hell of a show." he said, looking up in thanks to the heavens. "You might not expect it but that midget can really fuck." he said, regaling them with his tale of voyeurism.
When they emerged, Danny could hardly believe what he was seeing. It wasn't a college campus like he had seen in the pictures online. Rather, it was a massive castle, like the kind you would see in an old adventure book, surrounded by mountains, the only path to it a long winding road that lay before them. There was a man, a giant, standing 10 feet high, holding a lantern and standing near a dozen carriages, with a great big red beard and a funny expression. "Oy, you lot o' newcomers, this way!" he shouted, directing students, most of which were half-dressed, towards the vehicles. "Don' forget yer uniforms! Best change now and avoid punishment!" he added, noticing the state of the students.
Danny remained frozen where he stood. He knew that he shouldn't be shocked, Professor Merlin had explained that this was magic, but the sudden sight of something so blatantly fantastic confused him. Until a few weeks ago his life had been more normal than anyone else's, and now here he was, looking at a giant and a castle, and being told to change into a uniform.
"Come on!" Grint said, taking each of the two in hand and pulling them towards a carriage. It took Danny a moment to notice that Emma was just as stunned. It took Grint pushing her onto the carriage for her to realize that she was supposed to be moving.
Inside of the carriage they were joined by a fourth newcomer, a young man, a bit chubby, though with a handsome enough face, and short-cropped brown hair that made him look older than he was. He was already in his uniform, a small cravat, a blazer, and slacks. As the three entered, he made no sound, instead looking elsewhere with an intensity that made it obvious he was avoiding eye-contact.
"Wes Ruby, but everyone calls me Grint." Grint said, taking the initiative as the other newcomers got into their own carriages, and extending his hand to the stranger.
"Newt. Newt Balzack." the young man murmured, keeping his attention elsewhere.
"Balzack?" Grint repeated.
"Yes." Newt said quietly, melting into himself.
"That's hilarious! Your name is ball sack!" Grint laughed, prompting an elbow from Emma.
"I'm Emma Gibson and this is Daniel Cliffe." she said, trying to repair the awkwardness.
Newt's eyes lit up. "You're Danny Cliffe? I'd heard rumors, but-" he was standing in an instant, looking around. "-What do I have for you to sign?"
"I'm not signing anything." Danny said obstinately, prompting a pleading look from Emma. "What? I'm not. I still don't know what I'm famous for."
"You avenged my parents." said Newt solemnly.
"What?" said Emma and Grint at once.
"Both of them were trying to take down Rasputin. They were," he stopped, sniffling. "Anyways, it was you who killed him."
"What?" it was Danny's turn to be shocked. "Wait wait, slow down. Rasputin? Like the Russian guy?"
"His son actually." Emma corrected. "The greatest evil wizard of our time."
Grint put his arm around Danny, "You see Danny, us wizards could have our run at the world if we like. All it would take was us deciding to whip it out and use our powers to make, well, everyone else, our willing slaves. Now why don't we do that? Because it's wrong." he answered, not leaving room for another response. "Using it every now and then to have a bit of fun, that's just human nature, but using that power to rule the world? That's too far."
Danny was silent, though he was not sure he agreed. If wizards could improve the life of everyday humans, maybe it was their moral responsibility to do so. So what if that meant losing your sexual autonomy? If Danny was getting laid by the quality of ass he was seeing here at Eritaft, he would have no complaints. And given his experience with his aunt and cousin, he doubted the fairer sex would argue either. Still, he kept it to himself. After all, he was new to this wizard stuff and did not want to offend.
"To be fair, his father was essentially killed for being too horny, and he rejected the puritanical human society that continued to punish people just for experiencing one aspect of humanity." Emma added.
Grint opened his mouth to reply, but instead shrugged. "I'd never heard all that."
"Well, he did evil things either way." Newt butted in. "Bad things." Danny wanted an explanation of just what he had done that was so bad, but Newt was already moving on. "But you Danny, your latent power was so great that when he came that night and killed your parents, you avenged them there and then, still only a baby."
"What?" Danny's head hurt. This was too much too fast. "I what?"
"You killed Rasputin." Newt said plainly. Danny looked to Grint and Emma, who both nodded.
