Harry Potter and the Change of Laymanzet

Chapter 1

As I got up that morning, I had no idea how much it would impact my life!! If I could go back and relive that day, I would so that I could spend it with my friends instead of acting the way I did. WAIT!! I'm getting ahead of myself! You don't even know who I am!! Let me start over!

My name is (or was) Harry James Potter by birth, but now I am known as Airiconte in the new world. I was famous by the time I was a year old for something that I still don't remember; but now I am known for my accomplishments, and my horrible demise. I'll go back to the last date I was at Hogwarts School of witchcraft and wizardry; October 21. It was an average day, just like any other, with the fresh scent of pine trees from the Forbidden Forest waking me from my deep sleep. I inhaled this scent as deeply as I could. I decided as I got out of my bed that I was going to make this the best day possible. I pulled on my wizard robes and headed down the stairs to the common room. As I arrived, I realized that I was the last one up and I hurried over to the fire where my best friends Hermione and Ron were waiting for me.

As I approached I could hear Ron arguing with Hermione in hushed tones. I groaned inwardly, this was going to be a long day.

"It's not like they can help it! They didn't know they would change! How can you condemn them for something they can't control?" Ron continued "I, for one, think its cool! I mean, its one thing to do magic with a wand, but to do the things they can without one, it's very useful!"

I sighed deeply as I heard them going at it AGAIN for the umpteenth time! Ron and Hermione never saw directly eye to eye, but when it came to the issue of mutants; they would never agree.

I quickly interceded before the argument could escalate into a full brawl! "Ronald Weasley! I know that Hermione doesn't condemn your brothers Fred and George because she knows them just as well as I do!" I continued after I ruffled up my hair, "So please stop arguing and let's enjoy this glorious day!"

At this Ron spluttered "But Harry"

I quickly interjected "NO! Ron, I know what you're going to say!" I pulled myself to full height to let him know I meant business "I won't let you two argue about this anymore! I'm sick of it! All of us love your brothers, so just cool it you two!" at this I realized I had gained volume and was shouting at the top of my lungs and the whole room had gone silent.

I felt really embarrassed and my face flushed a light pink "Sorry everyone, I just got annoyed, please go back to what you were doing".

Everyone went back to what they were doing and I dragged Ron and Hermione out of the portrait hole to head to class; I thought to myself "Why do they argue so much about mutants? It's not like they can't agree about it and get over themselves!"

I kept up my fast pace until we reached our first class; Transfiguration. Ron, Hermione, and I sat down at the front of the class and waited for everyone else to arrive. When the last person arrived to class, Neville Longbottom, Professor McGonagall began to teach the lesson; Transmogrification or the magic of altering your appearance.

"Now, class, to give yourself a pig nose, as I have done, you must speak the charm; Gipadeous Transmaeus," she continued "everyone give it a try"

After she gave those words, I got ready to try it… I cleared my mind of wandering thoughts and breathed deeply. I felt the normal rush of air flow through my entire being… but there was something else there… an underlying power I had never drawn on. I concentrated on this power, feeling it wrench my gut, I opened my eyes. The first thing I saw was frost on all surfaces of the room! I gasped with shock as I saw everyone staring at me. I was then taken by Professor McGonagall directly to Professor Dumbledore's 

office. McGonagall didn't even knock when she approached the door! She marched into his office, dragging me the whole time, and she told me to sit while she took Dumbledore into his study.

I waited for what seemed like an eternity before they came back with a permanent frown etched upon their faces. I knew that whatever they were going to say wasn't good. Dumbledore gave great pause before he spoke, "Harry, I don't think that I can tell you what just happened without freaking you out" Dumbledore gave a great pause "I suppose I should ask you what you know about mutants."

This baffled me! What did mutants have to do with what just happened? My mind was racing with all sorts of questions! I had to take a deep breath before I answered.

"I know that mutants are wizards who have either evolved or mutated to do extraordinary things without the aid of a wand. I also know that they cannot use magic after they 'change'"

I scratched the back of my head nervously.

"But what does that have to do with me?"

Dumbledore sighed deeply before he answered "Harry, I believe that you have become a mutant…"

I sat dazed while he continued "You must know that wizards aren't tolerant of mutants at all… so I believe it's best that I send you to your godfather, Sirius Black. I don't feel that you would be accepted at Hogwarts anymore if your classmates found out."

At this I started to panic, "but Professor! What will they say? If just vanish then someone will come looking for me?"

Dumbledore had a pained expression on his face "We will fake your death after you leave, but I will give you about 2 hours to let your friends Ron and Hermione know that you are leaving."

Dumbledore sighed and said "I'm sorry that I cannot do more for you"

I sat dazed for about ten minutes before the realization hit: I WAS GOING TO HAVE TO LEAVE HOGWARTS BECAUSE I WAS A MUTANT! I jumped up abruptly with tears in my eyes and started running down to the lake.

I don't know how long I sat staring into the water before the tears started flowing freely. I don't know how long I cried, but after a while, I felt two sets of hands pull me up and drag me to the entrance of the school. I felt deadened, lifeless, like the world was crashing down on the ones I loved and I couldn't do anything to stop it. I then realized that Ron and Hermione were both there with me. They both had tear-streaked faces, as if they had been crying. I began to speak, "g-g-guys I-I have to l-l-leave, I don't know how long I'll be gone, or how long it will be before I see you again, but you need to know that I love you guys. I will always remember the important memories we have."

I stopped before I choked up, I didn't think I could say anything else without bawling… I decided to end this as fast and painless as I could. I ended the best thing in my life with the words "Good-bye" I watched their faces form tears as I slowly walked away… I left part of myself with them that they would always hold on to.
