Harry threw on the cloak and followed Remus and Madeye out the door and down the drive. Outside the wards he grabbed hold of Madeye's arm and they apparated to the outskirts of the town of Little Hagleton. The trio skirted the woods and made their way to the shack. Harry's description of the place was spot on and his apparition coordinates had dropped them close enough without triggering any wards that may be on the place. Moody stopped them and scanned the place for several minutes before speaking.

"Lots of wards and dark magic. The heaviest is centered in the front left hand room. Don't touch anything there are deadly curses everywhere." Moody growled out before pulling his wand.

Harry put his hand on Moody's arm and stopped him from doing any magic, "Some of the spell here are to detect spells trying to take down the protections. Let's do this another way."

"What way are you talking about?" Moody asked.

"I'm saying if you try to take down those wards the magic is going to reach out and hurt you." Harry said.

"Attack wards." Moody nodded, "They are blending in with the others so it was hard for me to see them. How did you know?"

"It's a secret." Harry grinned and lifted both hands. He muttered for a few moments and then dropped his arms, "Now you can take down the spells."

"What did you do?" Remus asked.

"He added a dome to the place." Moody answered his magical eye spinning madly in its socket, "It has canceled most of the wards and all but the darkest curses. I've seen Albus use something like that but he won't share that particular information."

"Because you have to be at a certain level to do it or it kills you." Harry stated, "Neither of you will reach that level. My Professors helped me get to that point sooner than I would have if I had been studying here. Professor Wa said that because I had advanced training early I'll reach a higher point than I would have. I'll still be growing magically until I'm dead; he said I have lots of potential."

"Harry people stop growing magically when they reach their highest level. Generally that's around the age of seventy or so." Remus said, "I don't think you'll die that early."

"No I don't think I will." Harry stated, "But I have more potential than most people. My growth rate has slowed to a more normal pace here so it will take me more than one hundred years to reach my full potential. That was just Professor Wa's guess. It may take longer."

"Wards are down." Moody interrupted, "We'll proceed with caution. Is that always done wandlessly?"

"I don't know." Harry said, "I was taught to do it before I purchased a wand."

"He was thirteen when he bought his wand." Remus told Moody then turned to Harry, "I wasn't sure your wandless magic would continue when you returned home for good."

"Can you just summon the ring?" Moody asked.

Harry tried but it didn't move, "Guess not."

"At least we tried." Remus shrugged.

The trio carefully stepped into the house and moved towards the worst spell that Moody had ever messed with. Harry pulled the tooth out of his backpack. Professor Wa and gotten the Wand Master to help Harry make the tooth easier and safer to hold. Harry had always wanted to attend the wand masters classes but he had to get a wand in his world he couldn't make his one. The master had fashioned a handle and carved away part of the tooth to make them fit together. Moody levitated the ring from its spot and moved it to a dusty table. Harry approached the ring and its defenses sprung into action. A dark cloud like smoke shot out of the ring and tried to grab him. Harry put a shield in place that held the smoke back. As he quickly moved to the table he could hear screams in the background. As he moved to stab it he hoped Moody and Remus were ok. He swung his arm down and hit the stone with the tooth. He heard a scream and then all was silent.

"Are you alright?" Remus spun Harry around looking for injuries, "Were you screaming?"

"I thought it was you or Moody." Harry answered and turned to Moody, "Are you ok?"

"I'm fine." he said, "It was the defenses of the ring. The soul was trying to get to you and take you over. What was that shield you used?"

"I'll show you later. Is the ring clear of curses?" Harry asked.

"Yes it's clean." Moody replied. Harry picked it up and put it in his pocket. Moody sent a patronus off to Minerva and then the trio carefully moved out of the shack and apparated to Hogwarts.

Minerva opened the gates to the two men and asked, "I thought a third person was going to come with you?"

"He's invisible." Moody ground out as she shut the gate behind them.

"Right where do you need to go?" Minerva asked.

"Seventh floor corridor, near the tapestry of that guy trying to teach the trolls to dance." Harry's disembodied voice called.

She turned and led the way. As they walked she said, "I don't remember their being a door near that tapestry."

"You won't be able to see it except under specific conditions." Harry said, "I can make those conditions happen."

Minerva shrugged and moved through the halls. Upon reaching the corridor Harry stopped the group and paced in front of a bare stretch of wall. On his third pass a door appeared and he stepped in followed by Remus, Minerva and Moody. They eyed the pile of junk before Harry moved off in one direction.

"We're looking for an old diadem." Harry said then asked Moody, "Can you see any dark auras?"

"Several." he replied, "Let's start with the closest one. Follow me."

Moody took the lead and moved off to the right. They searched through the pile until they found the object giving off the aura. It wasn't the diadem so Moody cleared the magic off of it and they moved to the next place. Thirty minutes and ten cleared items and they found the diadem in question. It was near a cabinet that looked like acid had been poured all over it. Moody placed it on the cabinet and Harry moved to stab it. Minerva had recognized the object and was calling for them to stop and not destroy it. Harry ignored her as Remus had pulled her back and was starting to explain. When Harry had stabbed it with no defenses being triggered they breathed a sigh of relief. The trio left Hogwarts behind to find out what had happened with the locket.

"It was surprisingly easy to find." Sirius said, "Tonks told Kreacher what we were looking for and why and he just handed it over to her. During the time you've been gone we've been discussing possible ways to get the cup and we think we have a way. My father was very traditional. When he died he left the entire contents of the Black family fortune to me. I was to take care of my mother and brother with it. Mother refused to abide by his will and promptly ignored it. I was in Azkaban within two weeks of become the head of the House of Black. My mother gave money and items to Bella and Cissy. I'm going to file a grievance with Gringotts and asked to have the value of the items returned to me. I know that they neither one have the funds to restore the value of the stuff that I'm saying my mother stole from me. We're hoping to trade the cup for part of what they owe me. If not we may be able to destroy the cup in the vault."

"Ok where's the locket?" Harry asked.

"Here on the table." Albus pointed out.

"Let's take it out back just in case." Remus suggested.

"Why what happened?" Sirius and Albus asked.

Harry grabbed the locket and took it out into the yard. He had everyone stay back. Remus was explaining what had happened with the two that had already been destroyed. Since they were unsure what would happen they were being safe. Harry approached the locket and started making a hissing growling noise. The locket flew open and a dark cloud jumped out knocking Harry back, just like with the ring. He quickly got up and shielded himself wandlessly. Then he moved to the locket and stabbed it. When he turned around Moody and Remus were holding Sirius and Albus back. They had both moved to protect him and the others had kept them out of the way.

"Four down." Harry called.

"Was that parseltongue that you were speaking?" Moody asked.

"Yes, I had to learn to speak a few words of that in order to open the locket and the chamber of secrets." he replied.

"Wandless magic?" Albus asked the others.

"Evidentially high level wandless magic." Moody replied, "He used a ward breaking dome like I've seen you use."

Harry again explained what Professor Wa had said about his magic potential. The next week Harry invited the Weasley's over for lunch. The plan was to also invite the Longbottoms so that Neville and his Gran could learn the truth about Harry. The group arrived and Harry was waiting in the study while Sirius did the spell to allow the Longbottoms entrance. Once they had all found seats Sirius introduced Harry.

"It's nice to meet you." Neville said shaking his hand.

"You too." Harry said.

"Can you tell us what happened to you?" Augusta Longbottom asked.

Harry repeated an abbreviated version of his story from the time Professor Wa picked him up outside the Dursley's house until Cedric brought him back to Hogwarts. Afterward the teens moved out into the back yard to visit until lunch was served. Harry spread out a blanket and the group sat on it and talked.

"So they trained you in advanced magic?" Neville asked. Harry nodded in reply and Neville said, "There is no way I could do any of that. I can barely do basic spells."

"You just lack confidence." Harry said, "You don't think you can therefore you can't."

"I don't know." Neville said.

"Why don't you teach us some of what you know?" Ginny suggested, "Like an advanced study group. Teach your friends how to defend themselves in case Tom decides to take one of us to make you stop whatever you're doing."

"It can't be many people and I can't share some things." Harry said, "I only want trustworthy people to know how to do it."

"We can just keep it between those of us who know who you are." Ron said.

"That would mean Hermione can't attend." Ginny pointed out, "Or Luna, Seamus, Dean, or any of those others who have been picked on by the Slytherins. We need you to teach us to at least defend ourselves."

"How many are you thinking?" Harry asked.

"Thirty or so." Ginny said, "Not many. We can just say your old school let you advance at your own pace."

"Actually that's exactly what they do." Harry said, "There were only a handful of students at any given time. I had one on one sessions with the professors and they taught me things about this world. For instance my Care of Magical Creatures class taught me about animals on this world not the ones on the other worlds. Tib's creatures class had animals from his world and he didn't learn about Unicorns and Dragons."

"That sucks you couldn't help each other with homework." Ron frowned.

The summer passed as Sirius was making his pleas against his mother and the stolen funds she had given away. He had to prove that both Narcissa and Bellatrix had known he was the head of the House of Black before they were given the funds. The only break Sirius took during this process was for Harry's birthday. It passed with a quiet party among friends but earlier that morning they had arranged to meet Augusta and Neville in the long term ward to try out Harry's possible cure. The nurse administered the potion while the potion master and healers set up the process to track the changes in the couple.

"It's not an instant cure so you'll have to watch them over time." Remus instructed.

"Where did you get this potion." he potion master asked, "I'd like to look at it before you give it to them. Are you sure it won't hurt them?"

"The source is a potion master of great regard." Remus said, "He has asked to remain anonymous to anyone except the family. He is very sure it won't hurt them."

"I still don't feel comfortable doing this." The healer stated.

"We do." Augusta stated firmly, "Now either help us or get out of our way, I want my children back."

"Madam, what if this man is only after your money." the healer started.

"He gave it to us for free." Neville said, "He is not asking for anything in return."

Back at the Hogwarts potions lab Albus watched Severus work with the potion. He only looked for a few moments before he said, "I never thought of using that." He continued working for a long time and dissected the potion working tirelessly. After three hours he moved to a cauldron sitting on the table near the new potion. He reached into his store cabinet that was next to it and pulled out a vile of perfectly clear liquid. He added four drops from the vile and watched as the potion in the cauldron turn the same color as the new vile he was studying, "I was so close. Why I didn't think of Phoenix tears I'll never know. They have the most healing power of any ingredient. So who developed it?"

"You did." Albus smiled merrily at his potions professor, "But I'd suggest you wait to take credit until Voldemort has been stopped. It's being tested as we speak."

"Who is testing it?" Severus asked more interested in what was happening then in Albus' riddles.

"St. Mungo's is testing it on Frank and Alice Longbottom." he replied, "How long before we see a difference?"

"Maybe a week, maybe less." Severus said, "But I didn't develop it. You saw I needed one more ingredient and who knows how long it would have taken me to think of Phoenix tears."

"But you did think of it." Albus grinned, "I saw you add them myself."

"I won't take credit for someone else's work." he growled stubbornly.

"I'll explain it all later." Albus said, "I just wanted to make sure you could make more."

By the end of the week Neville Longbottom had parents who were aware but quite behind the times. The next big occasion in Harry's life was Ginny's fourteenth birthday. He poured over owl order catalogs for hours looking for just the right gift. When he found it he immediately sent off for it regardless of the teasing he was getting from Sirius and Remus.

"So did you finally find the perfect gift for your sweetheart?" Sirius asked.

"Or do you need a few dozen more catalogs?" Remus added.

"I found the perfect gift." Harry grinned, "To bad you two don't have a need to buy a girl a gift. If you were any more immature I'd worry about Ginny."

"Harsh." Sirius said.

"Very harsh." Remus agreed, "Well this was fun but I have to run."

"Have fun Moony." Harry waved and ran up the stairs.

"Where are you going?" Sirius asked.

"I have a date." he said as he stepped into the floo and called for the Leaky Cauldron.

"Harry." Sirius yelled as he chased his Godson up the stairs, "Why didn't he tell me he had a date? Who is he going out with? Why aren't you guys telling me anything?"

Harry was laughing as Sirius invaded his bedroom. When he calmed down he said, "I know who it is but he made me promise not to tell you. You'll just have to wait up for him and maybe he'll tell you. You want to go for a run? I think my lynx can beat you this time."

"Fine but will you tell me what you got for Ginny?" he asked.

"No I don't want you to ruin the surprise." Harry changed into his lynx and ran out the door.
