Rigel was relaxing on the couch of the Gryffindor common room reading his favourite story Alice's adventures in Wonderland . this was a time he enjoyed the quietness between school and classes. "oh look brother its the little lestrange" said George as he sat next to Rigel. "our whittle brothers best friend" Fred said as he sat down on the carpet. "can i help you two with something" Rigel asked. "just wanted to check in" George said. "why" Rigel asked. "because you and ron are awfully close we were wondering why" fred asked. "because hes a nice kind funny boy" Rigel said.the twin gingers started bursting out with laughter. "oh Rigel you are so funny" Fred said standing up. "yeah Ron funny thats funny" George said. "well be seeing you Lestrange me and Fred have plans". "dont tell me i dont want to be marked as an accomplice" he said. "smart boy" Fred said. "and right" George said as he and his brother left through the portrait hole.

Rigel was just about to go back to reading when he saw something being put up. he walked over and saw that it was a notice for flying lessons and that Gryffindors would be learning how to fly on Thursday with Slytherin. "well his should be interesting" he said. "whats that" Harry asked. "we have flying lessons on Thursday" Rigel said as he sat back down on the couch. "really Harry said going over to reading the notice. Rigel heard Harry groan. "yeah we have it with Slytheirn" Rigel said. "i hate this" Harry said. "oh relax harry its only for an hour" Rigel said going up to his dorm with his book

...........................................................................................................

it was finally Thursday the day that Gryffindor would be having their first flying lessons with the slytherins. Rigel was slightly nervous. he had only ridden a broom a handful of times. he was busy in his sketchbook and tuned out Hermiones lecture on Qudditch.

his attention was brought to barn owl who brought Neville a small package from his grandmother. He opened it excitedly and showed them a glass ball the size of a large marble, which seemed to be full of white smoke."It's a Remembrall!" he explained. "Gran knows I forget things this tells you if there's something you've forgotten to do. Look, you hold it tight like this and if it turns red oh..." His face fell, because the Remembrall had suddenly glowed scarlet,"You've forgotten something..."Neville was trying to remember what he'd forgotten when Draco Malfoy,who was passing the Gryffindor table, snatched the Remembrall out of his hand.

Rigel saw this. "Accio remebrall" he said and the ball appeared in Rigel hand. "here you go Neville" Rigel said handing it back to Neville. "hey thats not fair" Draco said. "says the guy who stole someones property" Rigel said. ""What's going on?" Professor McGonagall asked as she walked over to the Gryffindor table. "Draco took Nevilles remebrall and i used a summoning charm to get it back" Riguel said. " a summoning charm" the old witch asked surprised and slightly impressed. Rigel nodded. "i see Mr Lestrange would you come with me for a moment" Professor McGonagall asked. Rigel stood up and left the great hall confused about what was going on. 

they had stopped at Professor Flitwicks office. they saw the small wizard marking homework at his desk. "Professor McGonagall, Mr Lestrange how can i help you" he asked looking up form the piles of homework. "Professor many have just witnessed Mr Lestrange performing a summoning charm advanced charm,work unknown to first year students" Professor McGonagall said. the small wizard went wide eyed. "is this true Mr Lestrange" the small wizard asked wide eyed. "yes sir i had read about it and ive seen my cousin Tonks do it a couple of times and Draco took something of Nevilles so i used it to get it back" Riguel said.

"as it just so happens i was planning on talking with you anyway about your incredibly skilled work in my class" Professor Flitwick said.  "what do you mean" Rigel asked. "i was thinking of putting you in a class with a older year group" Flitwick said. Rigel went wide eyed. "if its agreeable to you" Flitwick said to him Rigel nodded eagerly. "which year groups class would i be put in" Rigel asked. "i was thinking the third years" Flitwick said. "i think that would be very appropriate" the old witch added on to the conversation. "very well then its agreed i look forward to seeing you in my class" flitwick said smiling.

Professor McGonagall and Rigel left the office both very pleased. i cant wait to start. he thought.

............................................................................................................................

At three-thirty that afternoon, Rigel and the other Gryffindors hurried down the front steps onto the grounds for their first flying lesson. It was a clear, breezy day, and the grass rippled under their feet as they marched down the sloping lawns toward a smooth, flat lawn on the opposite side of the grounds to the forbidden forest, whose trees were swaying darkly in the distance.The Slytherins were already there, and so were twenty broomsticks lying in neat lines on the ground. Riguel had told Ron and Harry about his new placement in charms class. "i cant believe it your now in her third years charm class" Ron asked grinning. "yep" Rigel said smiling. "you'll be in the same class as Fred and George" Ron said. "dont worry ill just ignore them like i do to my darling cousin Draco" Rigel said.

Their teacher, Madam Hooch, arrived. She had short, gray hair, and yellow eyes like a hawk."Well, what are you all waiting for?" she barked. "Everyone stand by a broomstick. Come on, hurry up."Harry glanced down at his broom. It was old and some of the twigs stuck out at odd angles."Stick out your right hand over your broom," called Madam Hooch at the front, "and say 'Up!"'"UP" everyone shouted. Rigels broom was one of the first to be summoned properly the other one being Harry. Hermione Granger's had simply rolled over on the ground, and Neville's hadn't moved at all. "here let me help you" he said to Hermione and Neville. " i can do it my self" Hermione said angry to him. "ok sorry i was just trying to help" Rigel said going back to his spot.

Madam Hooch then showed them how to mount their brooms without sliding off the end, and walked up and down the rows correcting their grips. Rigel was slightly pleased when she told Draco he'd been doing it wrong for years.

"Now, when I blow my whistle, you kick off from the ground, hard," said Madam Hooch. "Keep your brooms steady, rise a few feet, and then come straight back down by leaning forward slightly. On my whistle three,two"

But Neville, nervous and jumpy and frightened of being left on the ground, pushed off hard before the whistle had touched Madam Hooch'slips."Come back, boy!" she shouted, but Neville was rising straight up like a cork shot out of a bottle twelve feet twenty feet. Rigel saw his scared white face look down at the ground falling away, saw him gasp,slip sideways off the broom and he fell off. Rigel quickly took out his wand. "Wingardium Leviosa" he said. he slowed down Nevilles speed and just as he was about five feet off the ground Draco "accidentally" bumped into Rigel making Rigel drop his wand thus making Neville fall fast to the ground. "oops sorry cousin" Draco said smirking. Madam Hooch was bending over Neville, her face as white as his."Broken wrist," Rigel heard her mutter. "Come on, boy  it's all right,  up you get and you should Thank Mr Lestrange if it wasn't for his quick use of the levitation charm it could have been much worse 10 points to gryffindor." she said facing Rigel

She turned to the rest of the class."None of you is to move while I take this boy to the hospital wing! You leave those brooms where they are or you'll be out of Hogwarts before you can say 'Quidditch.' Come on, dear."Neville, his face tear-streaked, clutching his wrist, hobbled off with Madam Hooch, who had her arm around him.

No sooner were they out of earshot than Malfoy burst into laughter."Did you see his face, the great lump?"The other Slytherins joined in."Shut up, Draco," snapped Rigel."Ooh, sticking up for Longbottom?" said Pansy Parkinson, a hard faced Slytherin girl. "Never thought you'd stick up for him, Lestrange." "and i never thought Draco would hang out with a pug but here we are" Rigel said to th girl.

  "Look!" said Malfoy, darting forward and snatching something out of thegrass. "It's that stupid thing Longbottom's gran sent him."The Remembrall glittered in the sun as he held it up."Give that here, Malfoy," said Harry quietly. Everyone stopped talking to watch .Malfoy smiled nastily."I think I'll leave it somewhere for Longbottom to find how about up a tree?".

"Draco dont you dare" Rigel warned his cousin. "or what cousin" Draco said smirking. "Give it here!" Harry yelled, but Malfoy had leapt onto his broomstick and taken off. He hadn't been lying, he could fly well. Hovering level with the topmost branches of an oak he called, "Come and get it,Potter!"Harry grabbed his broom. "Harry dont" Rigel said.

"for once i agree with Rigel you'll get us all in trouble" Hermione said. "and plus you dont know how to fly" Rigel added. "He mounted the broom and kicked hard against the ground and up, up he soared. "sometimes hes such an idiot" Rigel said shaking his head. "i completely agree" Hermione said. they were to far away for anyone to hear them. but Rigel could guess Harry was angry and Draco was being stuck up as usual. he heard a few people clap. "dont encourage them" Rigel said to them. Rigel just sighed and went away front he scene and waited in the corner for the teacher.

he saw Professor McGonagall. he pointed to where the flying class was to help her. they marched on to he pitch just as Harry and Draco got onto the ground. "HARRY POTTER" "Never in all my time at Hogwarts "Professor McGonagall was almost speechless with shock, and her glasses flashed furiously, "how dare you might have broken your neck ""It wasn't his fault, Professor ""Be quiet, Miss Patil"But Malfoy ""That's enough, Mr. Weasley. Potter, follow me, now."

As harry and Professor McGonagall left. Riguel turned and saw Draco, Crabe and goyle look pleased. "glad to see your pleased with yourself Draco harry could get expelled because of this" Rigel said. "i know isn't it great" Draco said before he Crabe and Goyle left him.

Ron walked over to Rigel. "i seriously question how you are related to him" Ron said. "Ron your not the only one 

.........................................................................................

Rigel was walking to the the Great hall when he was stopped. he turned and saw Neville grabbing his shoulder. "oh hey neville" Rigel said. "i i just wanted to thank you" Neville said. "for saving me". Rigel smiled. "it was nothing" Rigel said. "and im im sorry for treating you badly" Neville said. "its fine Neville im sort of  use to at this point" Rigel said heading into the great hall.

he saw Draco looking smug. "what are you up to" he asked. "lets just say that potter and your little Weasley wont be around for long cousin" Draco said as he walked past him. he saw harry and ron and hermione talking. he walked over to the trio. "whats going on" he asked. "Malfoy has challenged these two to a duel tonight" she said. Rigel went wide eyed. "please tell me you two arent  actually considering this" Rigel asked them. "we are" Harry said. "this is a trap" Rigel said. "no its not ill bet you 3 gallons its not" Ron said smugly. "fine then have at it prove me wrong" Rigel said marching off.

later that night just before he fell asleep he turned to Harry and Ron "can you please not get in trouble" Rigel said. "relax we wont i promise" Ron said. Rigel nodded and let himself fall asleep. with the thoughts of you better not Ron weasley in his mind before he fell asleep
