Harry Potter and war for survival
Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter and not making any money from it.
AN: Here is next chapter. It is one of common chapter in lots of other fic but its requirement for the story, I will try to reduce chapter like these in only one update.
A week passed since Harry's banishment from Gryffindor. His banishment's news spread like wildfire throughout the whole wizarding England. It's on front page of Daily Prophet. They somehow got picture of Harry at when this happened, probably Colin captured it.
That week was not easy for Harry. He is living in private rooms in castle that are given to banished students. Apparently, in history more students are banished from their houses.
Room is normal. It's a small room with four poster bed, a table and chair. Which is enough for Harry.
In whole week he send several letters to Sirius and Remus . But both of them hadn't replied. Week passed so Harry thought they are not going to reply so he stops sending any more letters.
Sometimes Harry wonders why he is even here.
Harry started his training for tournament alone now. Nutrition potions start working in a week. He filled, gained some weight, Grown an inch, and exercises given by Pomfrey doing wonders. He feels more power in his body than ever. Three days after banishment Madam Pomfrey called him again for giving him vaccinations who he missed when he was young. As for study; Harry wrote down all the spells he learned in past years. Few simple charms none of them are offensive, hell not even defensive. In DADA only cutting cure and blasting hex and expelliarmus in second year are somewhat useful. Transfiguration is average and even to do simple things in transfiguration harry need concentrate very hard. So simply he stuck while bauxbatons and Dumstrang champions have their whole staff and personal library and Harry clearly know that cedric have full access to restricted section, All teachers helping him. Not to mention all of them have three years of experience over Harry.
He excelled big sigh .He remembered Headmasters words in his second year. 'Help is always given at Hogwarts those who ask for it' "Help my ass. Not a single teacher or students even talked to me in whole week."
Harry frustrated punched pillow on his bed. Then he suddenly heard crack. Harry jumped by surprise. When looked, familiar figure of Dobby standing there with big eyes looking at harry. "Oh it's you Dobby" As Harry taking deep breaths to calm himself. "Yes Harry Potter sir! It is Dobby! The grate harries potter sir. dobby have news for you."He nods his head frantically. Harry asked with curiosity."What?" "Harry Potter sir I just heard Old whiskers and greasy one talking when I was cleaning in there! ….
"...boy isolated himself Albus . He can go out of our thumbs; I say capture him and feed him loyalty potion to before he slip out of our hand."
Dumbledore calmly looked at Sanpe with twinkle in his eyes . "We don't need to fear severus While boy isolated himself, this will teach him how he cannot win without his friends. After first task I will order them to befriend them and he will be their best friend again realizing he cannot survive without them. And for he going out of our thumb, I specifically paid Mr. Weasley and Ms. Granger for forcing kipping him from making other friends than I approve. I kept him as ignorant of our world. He don't have access to his money at gringots , (Snort) That idiot boy even given his trust vaults key to Molly."
Snape looked at Dumbledore. His face not showing any kind of emotions "if you say so Albus, but don't say I had not warned you."
"Well shit." Was the only response harry can think. 'It's getting ridicules. First my friends abandoned him and now he found out my so called friends are paid for become my friends and Dumbledore is not as light as he shows' Harry is not even surprised now. He asked himself again why he is even here.
"Harry potter sir, I can bring your key from bad wesisy witch" Harry answered immediately "Yes please, Dobby. " Without wasting second eccentric elf vanished with crack. 'What does Dumbledore means my money, is there more than trust vault?' Few seconds later Dobby returned with his key. "Thank you Dobby". Dobby's eyes widened "Harry Potter is so kind, he thanked Dobby." Hugging harry's leg tightly." It's ok Dobby." With more efforts, Harry successfully calmed hyper elf.
Going to gringotts without alerting is not possible. Hogwarts wards alert him in a second. Harry gives it rest for a while.
"I wish there was a place where I can train away from praying eyes." mumbled harry . Dobby heard what harry said. "Harry Potter sir, Dobby knows such place." Nodding his head rapidly. "Do you really Dobby?" Elf nodded furiously again "Yes harry Potter sir. There is room called come and go room or Room of Requirement. It is a room that people can only entre." said dobby seriously "when they have real need of it. Sometimes it is there and sometimes not but when it appears, it is always equipped for the seeker's needs. Dobby has used it , sir" Looking downwards in low voice. "Dobby's friend winky , her master freed her but unlike Dobby she don't want to be free. So winky is very upset, she drunk all the time. When Winky has been very drunk; Dobby has hidden her in Room of Requirement and Dobby has found antidotes to butter beer there , and nice elf size bed to settle it off, sir … and Dobby knows Mr. Filch has found extra cleaning materials when he has run short sir."
Harry thought for second "How many people know about this room Dobby?" "Very very few, sir. Mostly people stumbles across it when they needs it, sir, but often they never finds it again" 'This is perfect'. "When can you shoe me this room Dobby?" Dobby jumped in excitement. "When Harry potter sir wants." Without wasting time harry followed Dobby.
Both of them standing in front of an empty wall. "Harry Potter sir, Walk past this part of wall three times thinking what you want and door will appear." Harry nodded. 'What I want. A place where I can train? No I already tried to train but it's not getting anywhere. A place where no one can find me? While its good but it's not going to help me. A place where only I can enter and ….' harry remembered prophecy his mother told him. '...I can place which help me on my destiny?' even he is not sure it will work. He crossed thinking in front of wall and closed eyes while doing it. With hope he opened his eyes with hope but wall was still blank as it was before. Harry huffed in disappointment then suddenly a door appeared .Harry gasped in surprise. He looked back at Dobby who jumping in excitement, his ears flapping rapidly.
He opened door, it was big hall. Its walls were rick yellow with beautiful designs on corners; Room was torch lit who were hanging on walls in fancy metal holders. On walls were different weapons, Swards, shields, Bows, Crossbows, Staffs, Knifes, and many whose name Harry don't know. On other shelf was a bookshelf filled with books. , on ground were weights and strings and Training Dummies who he only seen in books.
"Harry Potter, sir!" Harry so ignored in watching room that he forgot about. He jumped in surprise. "Dobby must go, Dobby have duties in kitchen." "Ok Dobby, You may go and dobby thanks again." With one more speech how harry Potter is grate he vanished with crack.
He walked towards book shelf. All the books are old Tomes with metal ringlets and as cover used some kind of magical creature's leather. He picked smallest of the one. He read title of the book. "Understanding Magic." Without name of the Author.
Harry opened cover and start reading first chapter.
What is magic? Many wizards and witches spend their lives to find out answer of the question. Its exact definition is not known but from all findings it's clear that "Magic is mysterious Force of Nature which is primarily responsible for life. Every animal, Plant and material contain magic in it. Magic act in surprisingly many different ways that some researchers believe that magic is sentient or have mind of its own."
Just one paragraph an harry totally engrossed in the book. Book answered his many questions who are bugging him when he found out that he is wizard. He wished to chair to sit and a comfortable chair appeared with small side table which contains refreshments. 'This room is increasable'. He resumed his reading
Harry read and in just first chapter his lots of questions were answered.
"Magical core of the wizard is work like muscles. More you use it, more it grows. There are other ways to grow magic like rituals, etc. It is one of the reasons most of the older wizards have bigger magical core. Bigger magical core allowed us to cast more spells and with more power. But bigger magical core it becomes hard to control.
To control magic different techniques are used through the world. But most effective is learning Occlumency which helps controlling our emotions which ultimately helps in controlling magic as emotions are key to control magic." Harry then found book on mind magic and surprised finding about legilimency and what it can do. Harry suspect this is the reason Dumbledore know everything. So he decided to start learning is from today.
He searched more books on charms, transfiguration, Potions. He surprised to found that Snape leaving so much and how bad their current school material is. Just beginner book contain which ingredient result on curtain ingredient react giving specific reaction. Heck there were 50 ways to just only steer the potion. With core subjects he took book of COMC which contain information on all Magical creatures. With those books he took books on new subjects; Ancient Ruins and Arithmancy. In whole week he first time feel hope.
When he returned to his room, he found a note folded near its entrance. He spoke password to knights painting on his door. Knight opened door with 'As your command'. When he opened that note; he surprised what he read.
Gryffindor are going to spike your drink on tomorrow morning. Huppelpuff and Slythrine made badges against you.
There was no name at end of the note. He wondered who could be this person or persons. A small smile graced his lips thinking; there are some people who did not hate him. He put that note aside and first time in week he slept peacefully.
AN: I Hope you liked these chapter. Happy reading
