"It’s part of my heritage, yet I can’t get out of my head what we’ve learned this summer. Hogwarts is so far behind the rest of the world. I’m almost...ashamed. Am I wrong? Am I wrong to want what my ancestors fought to bring to bear to be protected? Like I said. Confused." |
"Harry you have nothing to be ashamed of. It makes perfect sense to us. Right Georgie?" Fred assured him, as they got out of the carriage. |
"It’s fine. I’m proud that you want to question the world around you, and heads up Professor Snape in two." |
Hermione, Fred, George, Harry and surprisingly Neville Longbottom had an impressive mask of indifference on their face. Hermione had been taught well as her mask was almost perfect. |
Standing next to the Professor was Malfoy, Crabbe, and Goyle, along with Professor McGonagall. |
"It would appear Potter, that just like your father you cannot help but to get yourself in trouble. However even he made his way into the castle before getting a detention." Severus said silkily. |
Harry ignored Snape, and instead turned to his Head of House. "Professor McGonagall. I am not only willing to submit to Veritaserum, but I am also willing to show pensieve memories of the event from all of those present." Harry said in a level and respectable voice. |
Severus could see out of the corner of his eye, that his godson began to become paler than he normally was. Dammit! The boy had lied. He knew that the boy had embellished his story, but he always did. He loved his godson, but sometimes he could test his patience. |
Professor McGonagall stared at her student in confusion. He had the right of course, but very few students used it or even knew about it. "Very well. I will take statements from everyone that was involved. Severus, I have first years to see to." McGonagall turned and left. The twins, Neville and Lee Jordan dropped thei... |
Snape turned to the side. "In!" He shouted to everyone. The students filed in as ordered. However Malfoy was held back by a hand to the back of his robes. |
Snape turned on the little idiot, and grabbed him by the front collar. "If you ever embarrass me like that again, I will make the Dark Lord look like a pixie. Do you understand?" Snape said in a low voice. |
"Y yes professor." Draco knew better to cross his Uncle Sev. |
"Detention for a month. Every Monday and Wednesday. I want five hundred lines of "I will not let Gryffindors get the best of me.’ In two days." |
"In!" He at least had made sure that there was no other people who could hear them. His security bubble had insured that. |

Harry sat at the Gryffindor table, happily ignoring the chatter around him. George noticed that Harry was not eating, but was reading a Battle Magic manual while taking notes. Fred noticed George’s look, and promptly reached over and grabbed the book and the notes. When Harry looked up at him incredulously, Fred simply... |
Harry moaned. "Fine." He grabbed some boiled potatoes, and pork chops. George put a large scoop of broccoli on his plate as well. Harry glared at him, but George just raised a brow in challenge. |
"Face it mate. You have people looking after you now." Ron said in between laughs, and he laughed even harder at the fact that Hermione was pouring him a glass of milk. |
"You people suck." Harry muttered, as he stabbed his vegetables. |
George leaned into his ear and whispered seductively. "Every chance that I can get love." |
Harry’s eyes went wide, and his face went beet red. Powerful he may be, but he still had normal teen age hormones. |
"If you two are done..." Hermione interrupted with a knowing glance. "The Headmaster is about to make the announcements. |
Professor Dumbledore introduced Professor LaVaunt first, followed by Professor Umbridge. |
Harry nearly snarled as that bitch interrupted the Headmaster, with her claims of making sure that they had the best education...blah blah blah. Harry didn’t like her on principle. She had made Moony’s life hell. He however had one task to complete before the night was done. He stood up and made his way to the head tab... |
"Professor Flitwick." Harry began, after a slight bow. "I apologize for interrupting your meal. While on the way to Hogwarts on the Express, a Miss Luna Lovegood was seen by myself being pushed out of a compartment rather violently. She tripped over her luggage that had also been thrown out, and hit her head against th... |
The ravens gave a quick glance to one another. The Slytherins were unreadable as always, but they also knew a subtle threat when they heard one. The Gryffs were beaming with pride, as they heard one of their own standing proud in front of the Head Table. No student had dared to do so in a long time. The Claws were curi... |
Harry straightened his spine. "A challenge has been called by House Callistor by Sophia Callistor. The current Heiress to the house. She wishes to duel me for honour, as she claimed I slighted her house when I defended Ms. Lovegood." Harry turned around to face the students in the hall. "For the honour of protecting so... |
Dumbledore’s eyes widened. "He knows.’ He thought. |
Harry turned back to the Charms professor. "As a former dueling champion, I request that you referee, and call the duel. It is to be after the conclusion of the feast." |
Dumbledore stood. "There will be no Unforgivables, and no permanent damage. As the meal is finished, the duel will take place in five minutes." |
"Does House Callistor agree?" Harry asked. |
"House Callistor does." Sophia all but snarled as she stood, and made her way to the Head Table. |
"Does House Potter agree?" Sophia asked. |
"House Potter does." Harry gave a slight bow. |
"Very well. Prepare yourselves. You now have only four minutes until the duel." Flitwick called out. |
Harry for his part simply removed his robe and handed it to Fred who was to his right. Harry started to get onto the dueling platform when he felt a tug on his left arm. |
"If she fights dirty, you better as well." George whispered so that only he could hear. |
Harry simply nodded. He understood. He could break his word if his life was in danger. Callistor was an unknown, and it would be his first time against someone who he had not trained with. |
Harry watched as Luna went to sit on Ron’s lap, and he rubbed soothing circles on her back. Hermione rubbed her shoulders and she began to relax. Harry turned back to the dueling platform. |
"On my count. Three, two, one, begin!" |
Callistor threw the first curse. A blasting hex that Harry avoided easily." |
In fact. Everything that she had thrown at him he merely side stepped. She was getting frustrated, and sent a cutting curse his way. He was able to dodge most of it, but it took a nick out of his left shoulder, but only his shirt, she missed his skin. Harry stared at her. Callistor looked triumphant. Harry had been car... |
"Dammit Harry we don’t have all day! I want some of that cake that Dobby packed for all of us." Fred bellowed. |
Draco looked up at the name of his former House Elf. |
Harry rolled his eyes. Damn Weasleys and their stomachs. He sent multiple rapid fire blasting and bone breaker curses at the little bint. She shielded two of them but eventually she fell on her back in agony. Harry summoned her wand as he stalked towards her, as well as check her for other weapons or potions. |
Once he was next to her, he went down on one knee, and pulled a knife from who knows where. He had her magically pinned to the platform, as he ran the knife across her throat and chest in a lazy manner. He never actually cut her skin, but the threat was clear..."I could have killed you if I wanted to.’ |
For her part Sophia Callistor would never even blink in that bitch Lovegood’s direction again, she swore to herself. |
"Do you yield?" Harry asked in a voice that would have made even Severus Snape proud. |
Sophia nodded quickly. "Yes." She managed to squeak out. |
Harry leaned close to her ear and whispered so that only she could hear. "Touch her again, and I will destroy you." He took his blade, slapped it against her right jugular vein lightly. He stood and nodded to Professor Flitwick, and handed him her wand. |
"Professor." He bowed. "I think that my point has been made." |
"You are correct young Potter. Though I am furious with my student, I thank you for your restraint." |
Harry leaned down into the Professor’s ear. "Between you and I, Battle Master Flitwick, George would have tanned my hide if I had killed her." |
Filius arched a brow. "You know of my title?" |
Harry tried to hide a shy smile, but nodded. "Canada. A tale for another time. The privacy bubble is about to implode with the combined magic of..." Harry waved a hand at all of the people trying to get in. "Them." McGonagall, Dumbledore, His Loves, Hermione, Umbridge, and all of the other professors were trying to spe... |
George got to him first as he stormed in. Harry was a bit nervous, but he didn’t kill anyone so why was George mad? |
Fred and George had wanted to wait for the world to know that they were a triad, but George was so proud and scared at the same time, that he didn’t care. He slammed his lips down on Harry’s in a kiss that made Harry’s toes curl. |
Fred then snatched Harry away and gave his mouth the same treatment. "You’re getting devoured tonight." He whispered. |
Harry had a goofy grin on his face. |
"She has a concussion, broken right ankle, broken left femur, two broken ribs on the right side, and she’s bleeding internally." Madame Pomfrey levitated the girl behind her on a stretcher, as she walked out of the hall. |
The hall erupted in cheers from the "Puffs and the Lions tables, as Harry was declared the winner by Professor Flitwick. |
"One hundred points from Gryffindor!" Snape shouted. "How dare you injure a student in such a fashion!" |
Harry merely raised a brow. "I should think not Professor Snape. I complied completely with the rules that the Headmaster set out. According to the bylaws, no punishment shall be meted out." |
The other professors were busy sending everyone to their common rooms, when Harry was attacked by a blonde missile. |
"Thank you Harry Potter." Luna cried as she hugged him. |
"Anytime." He squeezed her back. Luna then ran off to join her house as they left the Great Hall. |
"How dare..." Snape started, only to be cut off by the Ravenclaw Head of House. |
"One hundred points to Gryffindor for showing restraint, and I would say...another twenty five to the Gryffindors for a duel well fought." |
Snape looked murderous, but the Headmaster spoke. "Yes. A job well done. I am curious however, how you learned those spells." |
Harry shrugged. "George and Fred save all of their books." |
"And the silent casting?" Professor McGonagall asked. |
George, Fred and Harry shuddered with their eyes closed. "Don’t ask." They all said as one. All three looked over their shoulders as if expecting to see someone jump out at them. Those training sessions with Cara, Aditi, Lauren and Natasha had been brutal. |
"Mr. Potter. I was wondering if I might have a private word with you in my office before you head off to bed." |
George was NOT about to let that happen. Sirius would kill him. "Headmaster if it school related, then surely his Head of House can handle any problems." |
Harry put his hand on George’s arm and gave him a smile. He would not admit it, but he liked having all of these people looking out for him. "Headmaster. I have been given strict instructions by not only my magical and legal guardian, but by my barrister not to meet alone with you until some matters are cleared up. I a... |
"Mr. Potter I do not have time to attend a meeting at this hour." |
Harry shrugged. "Then neither do I. I will see you all tomorrow. Please have a good evening." Harry bowed and turned to leave. |
Albus gave a pointed looked to Minerva and she sighed. "Very well Mr. Potter. I shall accompany you." |
Harry stopped and turned. He gave a slight bow in Professor McGonagall’s direction. Harry turned to George and Fred. "I’ll see you two shortly. Do try not to burn down the castle while I’m gone." Both Fred and George looked weary, but they both kissed either side of Harry’s neck making him shiver and let him go. Their ... |
"We’ll know if you need us." They both gave a Squeeze to his arm, and left. |
As Fred and George left the Hall, all of the adults stared at Harry, who was flushed red. Oh to be young again. |
"That boy is dangerous! First he sides against the Ministry, then he nearly kills another student. He should not be allowed in a school full of innocent children!" Umbridge screeched. |
"As previously stated, Mr. Potter violated no rules. It was a formal challenge that was answered, which is allowed by not only the school bylaws, but also the rules set forth by the Wizengamot." Filius simply stated. |
"Harry was particularly brutal, in his assault you must admit Filius." Albus said as he stroked his beard. |
Harry didn’t say anything. He stood tall with his back straight, legs slightly apart with his hands behind his back. Eyes forward. He just continued to let them talk about him like he wasn’t there |
Filius rolled his eyes. "I have used far more brutal spells in a duel Headmaster." |
"Did anyone notice that his scar is completely gone?" Pomona asked. |
The Headmaster swung to face her. "I beg your pardon." |
Pomona continued. "Yes it’s gone. He had his hair in his face, but sometimes when he moved you could see the bare skin on his forehead." |
"If you had looked in my direction Headmaster, you would notice." |
"And since when did you become involved with the Weasley twins?" Minerva asked. |
Harry took her hand and placed it in the crook of his elbow, and patted the top of it. "That my lady is a wonderful tale filled with romance and intrigue. Shall we head to the Headmaster’s office?" Harry began to walk with his Head of House on his arm out of the door. She turned to look back at Albus and the rest of th... |
"I think we should all head to our students." The Headmaster suggested. "Severus. A word." |
"I would like for you to attend. I could use a second opinion. If Harry is going dark..." |
Severus rolled his eyes internally. Albus was forever thinking that someone was going dark if they did not fit a certain mould. "Of course Headmaster." |
Harry and Professor McGonagall were led into the Headmaster’s office. |
Harry walked directly to the sorting hat. "I should have listened to you. I’m sorry." |
The hat woke up at that point and looked at Harry. "I hate to say I told you so, but I told you so." |
Harry chuckled. |
"Have a seat Harry." The Headmaster commanded in a gentle tone, breaking up their conversation but making a mental note to ask about that later. |
