“My sister is over there. Do we want to get her and her student? .then we can look at this wonderful building together, ”suggested Marinos.
"That's a very good idea," Lucius and Harry agreed.
"Paradiso."
A pretty young woman turned at the call. .the family resemblance between her and Marinos was plain to see.
"Well, my dear, have you already made friends?" The lady wanted to know.
“At least we made a nice acquaintance. .May I introduce Lucius Malfoy and his companion Harry Potter. And these are my lovely sister Paradiso and her lovely student Clio. "
.Harry bowed to the lady and nodded to the girl, as did his companion.
“Nice to meet you. Clio, after the muse? ”Lucius wanted to know.
The teenager, maybe fourteen years old, nodded.
."Yes, even if my game is far worse than that of my namesake," she confirmed.
"Which instrument do you play?" Harry wanted to know curiously.
"The Greek kithara, that was Clio's trademark."
."Sounds difficult," said the green-eyed man.
"It's definitely not easy, I gave it up ages ago, much to the relief of my teacher, I'm sure of that," mumbled Alexis.
.“That's why you're a talented dancer,” Marinos appeased him.
Harry swallowed.
“I am very happy that I am not a student in Greece, I would be the torture of every teacher. At least in a musical sense, ”he admitted.
."Oh, you can dance very well now," interjected Lucius.
"Only if you are my dance partner," it came back shyly.
The Greeks smiled as they listened to the two of them.
“Are you his gentleman?” Paradiso wanted to know.
Lucius nodded.
."Yes, I have the honor of being able to court the young man," he explained and kissed the hand of his companion to make it clearer.
Of course, Harry immediately blushed again, especially when he saw the teenagers' looks.
."Shall we now have a look at what treasures can be admired here?" Asked Marinos.
Everyone agreed and so they set off.

.while they strolled through the corridors in amazement, Harry explained to the Greek students how one was taught in England. .Both of them had heard of it, otherwise their teachers would not have taken them, but it was still difficult for them to understand.
“But can a teacher cater to so many students? .I mean, well, every teacher has their own subject. It's impossible to keep track of so much, ”said Clio skeptically.
“Most teachers do this quite well. Especially my dad. .he only needs to raise an eyebrow and he'll have the whole class' attention, ”Harry explained.
"I would love to see that," said Alexis.
."Be careful with your wishes, Severus can also freeze his opponent to stone with this look," laughed Lucius.
"Yes, he can," Harry confirmed.
“Paradiso can do that too. .if I do something wrong, I guarantee that I won't repeat the same mistake a second time. And that's just because of the look. "
.Harry looked at the pretty teacher, he couldn't even imagine that with her, but one should never go after the outside world.
"Something completely different, why are there no surnames in Greece?" He wanted to know.
Marinos laughed.
.“Because it was never necessary. We have always had epithets. Either by earning it, like 'the thinker' or 'the fast one'. Otherwise the name of the house is mentioned from which a witch or a wizard comes. .It is different during school days, Alexis is called the Marino's student at the moment. And my sister's pupil is Clio, the pupil of Paradiso. "
"Sounds complicated," Harry mused.
."As you can see from my student, he thinks the same about English customs," laughed the teacher.
“From that point of view, it's just a cultural difference. When do students get their own names? "
.“When we have finished learning and they deserve us. My teacher is called Paradiso the Exalted, ”said Clio, looking proudly at the woman who taught her.
Harry nodded, even if that sounded anything but easy to him. .but that is how Greek culture developed. And it obviously worked.

The next moment the group heard a loud clink from the back of the floor.
."With Zeus, what was that?" Alexis wanted to know, startled.
"Probably the first fight of the evening," sighed Lucius.
He motioned for his companions to follow him. He quickly took the group to a safe place.
."I'll see what's going on."
"We'll come with you," Marinos decided to say.
"Good, Harry, get Oskar and Beast out, just to be on the safe side," Lucius demanded.
"In order. Take care of yourselves ”, asked the young man.
.the three adults gave the youngsters a smile and were gone in the next moment.
Harry immediately complied with Lucius' request and took his two companions out of their cloaks.
."Oskar, maybe you should make yourself big, we could get a visit soon."
As soon as the boy had spoken, the kite jumped from his hand and in the next moment had grown by four meters.
"Wow. .where did you get it? ", Alexis wanted to know.
“I put a spell on him two years ago, when he was a harmless toy. Now he can spit fire, ”Harry explained.
“And the book? That looks dangerous ”, Clio wanted to know.
.“This is the monster book of the monsters, it was not enchanted, at least not by me. They are delivered like this, they are our school books for the care of magical creatures. .they are really nice when you stroke them, but they can also get very snappy, ”Harry grinned.
Beast sat on Harry's arm and checked the area with his eight eyes.

"You really are as talented as it is said," marveled Alexis.
."Well, I have a lot of wild magic, that's probably the reason. It has to get out somehow, otherwise everything often escalates. I am also very stubborn. It was also necessary, to bewitch Oskar was hard work ”, the boy grinned, embarrassed.
."Wild magic is so cool, Paradiso told me a lot about it and of course we know a lot about you too."
"Um, why?"
“Well, you're good because our teachers wanted to prepare us for this ball. .we shouldn't have come along if we hadn't learned. This is a reward. "
"Do you live in the same household?" Harry wanted to know.
Both nodded.
."This is a stroke of luck for us, we can share the housework and thus have more time for other things," said Alexis.
."Um, would you be very angry if I asked about the teaching methods in your country?" Harry stammered shyly.
Both grinned.
"Go ahead," Clio chuckled
