Harry Potter was becoming very cunning.

After two years at Hogwarts, he could safely say that it was not a safe place. In all honesty, it was one of the most dangerous places. But in the last week of school this previous year Harry potter with the help of a very intelligent Slytherin figured it out that, Only him and his friends were not safe at Hogwarts, of course he also realized that he was very meddlesome BOY, She had been very insistent on the last part.

In the last two years at Hogwarts, he had visited the hospital wing more than most of the seventh year students. And to be fair, he had very good reason for most of them, but… well, but he was 'The Boy Who Lived' and people loved trying to kill him, either emotionally or in most cases physically. So in the last two years at Hogwarts, he had to face a Troll and Voldemort, save the Philosopher's stone and not to mention a childish teacher who was a sadist. And the second year was even more brilliant from the start. He was locked in his room the whole summer and the Weasleys had to rescue him from his relatives who hated him and again the feeling was mutual. And not to mention a blasted house elf named Dobby. The Bloody elf had landed him with his first warning for using magic while being underage, which he never did. Blasted Ministry. Oh the Bloody elf was not done. No, sir, it had to stop the magical barrier at the King's Cross station so Ron and he couldn't get on the train to Hogwarts. So again like idiots we had used Mr. Weasley's enchanted car to fly to Hogwarts, and almost got killed by the Whomping Willow. Snape had wanted Ron and him to be expelled.

School was going pretty well till Halloween. It was a very bad day for him and after Halloween the Chamber of Secrets had been opened and students were getting petrified. After his duel with stupid Malfoy, he was considered the Heir of Slytherin for being able to talk to the snakes and after his encounter with the Hufflepuff's he was really depressed about it. Again, it was him who had to solve the mystery of the Chamber of Secrets since the Headmaster was kicked out by the School Governors. It was Hermione's brilliance which helped him track down the Chamber and save Ron's little sister Ginny. It was at the end that he got to know that Ginny Weasley was the one who opened the Chamber of Secrets, of course she was being controlled by his mortal or immortal enemy, he didn't know which one but his name was Voldemort. The bloody Wanker had changed his name to sound intimidating and to make people believe he was a pureblood. He had got to know many things about his enemy this past year, His real name was Tom Marvolo Riddle like his name he was a very difficult riddle which he had to solve the past two years. He was Half-blood and son of a Muggle named Tom Riddle. His father was the Senior and he was the Junior. And He hated that fact and his blood status for some reason. We are getting off track, so, in the Chamber he had come face to face with a 60 foot Basilisk which had the ability to kill with a single glance, so he had his eyes closed as he faced the King of serpents. And he had killed it with the help of a songbird and an old hat as Tom had put it. The Gryffindor's sword was bloodied and dry by the time he had reached Professor Mcgonagall's office with Ron, Ginny, Mindless Lockhart and The Diary. The Headmaster had no explanation for what the diary was or about anything else. The only positive of the whole scandal was that Hagrid was cleared of the charges for allegedly opening the chamber of secrets fifty years ago. The Ministry had given him a lot of compensation for being wrongly expelled from Hogwarts. Hagrid being Hagrid had been happy for just being back at Hogwarts. Then he had met her while going back to the Gryffindor common room. So let's go back to that encounter which was very enlightening.

Author's Notes: This is my first attempt at writing so please be a little forgiving. I'm obsessed with Harry Potter Fanfiction. I've been reading a lot of Harry Potter Fan-fiction stories and loved many of them, while hating even more of them. I like Harry being paired with a Slytherin. So in this story, Harry will be paired with a Slytherin. I'll try to update very often, but I can't promise. And yes in this Harry Potter will be Powerful and will get better at learning as time passes. And yes, there will a bashing of some people whom I hate in cannon. So please Read and Review.
