After several months away from Hogwarts, the two boys finally returned, having spent their time defending their kingdom, getting possessed, and collecting more boxes than a dumpster after moving day. Wolfram von Bielefeld was also minus a tribble (named Gallant Yuuri), an ugly kitten (named Furry Yuuri) and, most distressingly for Wolfram, a large, treasure-gobbling dragon (Winston Gilandren Ossifer Life-of-Riley the Third... he thought. It's really a very long name, and it is understandable for a few of those to be mixed up). The first two weren't nearly as interesting, but acceptable. Unfortunately, the dragon ate his way through the allowance left for Yuuri and Wolfram while on their first stay, as well as through a portion of the castle's treasury, so the spoiled Mazoku was left with strict instructions: no more pets!

So if he saw any creature he wanted, he would have to make Yuuri buy it for him.

But he wasn't thinking of such things at the moment. Really, Wolfram was concerned with the state of their soaked luggage, his dripping clothing, and his mud-tarnished hair. "Yuuri!" Wolfram yelled, kicking into the thigh deep water. "You dropped us in too deep!" He lifted his arms, each one connected to a hand carrying a respectably heavy bag. "Hopefully the equipment isn't damaged too badly. Why does school have to be so close to water? It doesn't make any sense at all!" The last word was grunted out as, despite his chiding, Wolfram recklessly threw a bag to the edge of the lake. That done, Wolfram got ready to throw the other, heavier one, which in his opinion required a spin to build momentum. Unfortunately, one is less graceful in the water and, while the big bag of nighties and dressing gowns and uniforms did land safely on the other side, an unbalanced Wolfram fell backwards into the water. He dipped under for only a second, but it was enough to make his tone even more indignant than before.

He turned to look back at his king and fiance. "You didn't hurt yourself, did you? Of course, you probably have much more practice falling down than I do, but I'm older." He suddenly thrust forward an impatient hand. "Give me your things!"

Wolfram was excited to be back in Hogwarts.
