Me: Don't hurt me...

Gary: She's sorry she's been gone for... ages...

Fei: She's been busy with school... Really busy... Like even her holidays she had to go to school.

Me: Yea it sucked but no more excuses here is chapter four and five, courtesy of a few sleepless nights...

Chapter 4 - Mutants

St Mungos

Frustrated I attempted to draw upon my magic yet again.

"Damn that rotten boy!" I spat as once more I failed to levitate a single feather.

'I may have been born a squib but my brother and sister were able to help with that, after all potions are excellent resources for a squib' I thought maliciously. 'Time to make a little family visit.'

Hogsmeade village

I swallowed thickly as a shiver went down my spine. 'Oh no Albus is coming' I thought frantically.

"The bars closed." I called to all the patrons hurriedly.

There were calls of protest and my customers slowly begun to leave. As I shut the door I ran upstairs, desperate to escape. However fate seemed against me. I felt the latent spell take effect immediately and silently walked to the basement where my brother waited for me.

"Hello Aberforth. Open up." Albus commanded.

I obeyed, the conditional spell forcing me to open my mouth. He smirked and poured the liquid down my throat. I fell to the ground in pain as I felt my magic being leeched into him. He laughed as I writhed in pain.

"I saw the empty bar brother. It was foolish of you to try and leave. Imperio." He commanded.

In America…

As we stopped in front of the school I let out a soft gasp. It was a mansion. Nothing compared to Hogwarts but it looked stunning. I paid the driver and walked up to the intercom as he drove off. Tom decided now was a good time to appear and I nearly hit him in the gut with shock.

"Don't do that." I growled as we reached the intercom.

"But it's fun." Tom whined playfully.

Sighing I pressed the intercom and waited for someone to answer.

"Hello Jean Grey here. How may I help you?" Came a cheery voice.

"My name is Harry Potter. With me is my friend Thomas Marvolo. We're here to see a Mr. Charles Xavier, I believe he is the headmaster here?" I asked politely.

"Oh I'll just unlock the gate, come in. He's expecting you." Was the reply as the gate buzzed open.

"Thank you ma'am." I thanked her with a smile as the gate opened.

The walk up the drive was uneventful to say the least, apart from Tom whining about people having driveways too long, nothing happened along the way. As we reached the doors a fragile looking, bald guy in a wheelchair greeted us at the door.

"Greetings Lord Potter. This is an unexpected turn of events with you showing up at my door but pleasant all the same. Do come in. Your friend Thomas also. I am Charles Xavier, the headmaster." He explained lightly as he led us into the mansion.

"Please just call me Harry. I dislike titles." I told him with a smile.

"Ahh yes. Modest like your parents. I trust they explained the school to you?" Charles asked as he led us to an office.

"Umm no. They've been dead since I was a baby." I answered as Tom and I took a seat.

"Oh… my condolences my lad. However, may I enquire as to why you are here then?" He asked curiously.

"Well I was kinda hoping to get an education here. Same with Tom. We were unsure as to where to go and this place was in my parents will as a boarding school they owned the land for." I answered truthfully.

"Ah… so you've no where else to go. Well this is a dilemma. You see we only take the… well gifted. I am unsure as to if you fit that category. Either of you." Charles explained with a sad smile.

"I'll take a test if that's what you need, I'm sure Harry will too." Tom offered with a shrug.

"It doesn't quite work that way. You see… what I'm about to tell you must not go beyond this school, you understand?" Charles looked at us seriously.

"Of course." I nodded as did Tom.

"This is a school for mutants. Students gifted with abilities beyond the norm. Telekinesis, teleportation, super speed, duplication, magnetism and much more. I am also aware of wizards and witches so you cannot trick me into thinking you are mutants boys." He told us sternly.

"Well… I think I'll be good on that front." Tom replied with a shrug.

"Hmm me too." I told the professor with a smirk.

"Then will you permit me to check your minds? I am a powerful telepath." Charles asked with dignity.

"I can accept that. Just don't tamper with anything or I'll kill you." Tom answered cheerfully.

"Same here. Mess with my head and I turn you into a rather tiny insect and let Tom torture you." I reiterated Toms threat.

"Very well." Charles accepted the terms and closed his eyes.

I felt a presence in my mind and let it access the night at the Dursleys. I could feel him withdraw and felt him checking Toms mind. After a moment he opened his eyes.

"Satisfied?" I asked as he shivered.

"I'm going to have to inform a few students not to go near you. You both have abilities I've never seen before. And Tom was a controlled mass murderer so it wouldn't do for any mind readers to look in his head without first knowing about the statute of secrecy and wizards. However other than that you are able to enter the school without a hitch. Excuse me for a moment while I call the off duty teachers. I will introduce you to them and one of them can show you boys around." Was the answer as he once again closed his eyes.

A few minutes' later five teachers came in chatting amiably and looking at us curiously. One was covered in blue fur. The others were a slightly mismatched bunch of people. A tall red haired woman, a wolfish looking man, an old looking miniature lady and a lady who was trying to stop her tail from flicking by holding it.

"I'm Jean Grey, the lady who greeted you through the intercom. Pleasure to meet you." The red haired woman smiled cheerfully.

"Names Hank McCoy, I work here part time." The furry guy greeted us with a nod.

"Logan." Grunted the wolf guy.

"Madam Olive Greenraid at your service. I teach martial arts." The miniature old lady told us with a smile.

"Uhh I'm Dei Opal. I'm the councilor." Explained the lady with the tail.

"Jean is a telepath her code name is Phoenix, Hanks mutation is his beastlike nature and the physical mutation his code name is Beast, Logan AKA Wolverine has a substance called adamantium which coats his skeleton and forms claws which come out of his hands, and he is also able to heal rapidly when injured. Madam Olive Greenraid has the ability to manipulate water and plants her code name is Grove and last but not least our lovely school councilor Dei. Like Hank she has a physical mutation but she is also able to control metal and create fox fire, her code name is Priestess. Most students have code names, nicknames and the like, most according to their abilities but not always. More than likely you'll get a nickname from one of the other students here." Charles told us with an open smile.

"It's a pleasure to meet you all. My name is Harry Potter. Please call me Harry." I greeted the teachers politely.

"My name is Thomas Marvolo. Call me Tom or I will eviscerate you in the most painful way imaginable and unimaginable, then heal you and do it again." Tom growled with narrowed eyes at Jean.

"Tom… Do not eviscerate my teachers or my students. Now… Ms. Opal will take you both on a small tour then to the third floor boys dorms where you'll be staying. Classes are on at the moment so you'll be able to unpack and settle in for a little bit however when the three o'clock bell goes you'll be joined by the other boys in your dorm. Tomorrow I will assess which year you'll be in then we can decide on which classes you want to take." Charles told us smoothly.

"Professor are you sure it's-" Ms. Opal begun nervously.

"It's fine Ms. Opal. Please take the boys now I wish to speak to the other teachers here for now." Charles nodded to her.

With that we left the room following a somewhat nervous Ms. Opal.
