A/N; Duty calls guys, College life isnt as easy as i thought and i got caught up in other projects. That doesn't mean anything is going to happen to the story, it just mean things are gonna slow down a bit. I will try to push out 1-2 chapters a week. Moving on, We got 10,000 Views now. I noticed the last chapter did not receive much. Ill take it people didn't like it so i wont be doing much of the background stuff. As of this chapter we will focus on the classes and figuring out who Harry's Allies are. As for Luna, I kinda like how diverse her character is. She has so many different personalities that i think an assassin persona will fit her greatly. As for our resident blonde slytherin, he won't be madly in love with the young assassin, i hate stories that have characters get together with no reasonable explanation so if you were looking for anything then it wont happen for a bit. The Forum is still being built, I am being lazy with it, So if you want to help just PM me. So lets get into the chapter, Enjoy!
Chapter 11: Life in Hogwarts
Classes in Hogwarts were amazing to say the least. After hearing the basics of each subject and then what they were going to learn over the next 7 years as well as getting a preview made our young assassin giddy with anticipation. He imagined all of the practical uses potions and transfiguration had in assassin work. Being able to hide bodies, Brewing different draughts and poisons to cause death as well as charming all sorts of items to hide his work. The teachers were different for Harry. For one, It seemed that some of them were biased against slytherins, Some of them like Professor Flitwick and Professor McGonagall seemed to favor their houses a bit more while trying not to be so obvious. Others like the Astrology teacher seemed to dismiss all slytherins in favor of the other houses. Speaking of all the other houses, There seemed to be a war between some of the houses. Slytherins and Gryffindors seemed to hate each other while Ravenclaws seemed to be the only allies of the house of snakes. Hufflepuffs seemed to be split in the middle of siding with Gryffindors or keep to neutrality. It wasn't unusual to walk down a hall and see some upperclassmen dueling. Quidditch was huge in Hogwarts, since first years were banned from flying on a team, The others ignored them. The team members were treated like royalty whenever seen by their respective Houses and it seemed like they were aimed at more in the war between the houses. Professor Snape was biased to all his snakes, despite the obvious favoritism toward the other houses from the headmaster, he always made sure his slytherins were safe and if injured were healed. Granted when they were caught he didn't dish off points, but once the deviants were back in their dorms he would give them a thorough tongue lashing and detentions. Slytherin hasn't loss the house and quidditch cup for the last 6 years, a feat unheard of in all of Hogwarts time, so any point loss was frowned upon heavily in the snake house. Harry found out easily that the lions would do anything make Slytherin lose points. They were obvious in their attempts and were almost always caught by snape but many times Slytherin fell ill to the Gryffindors attacks. It seemed like Salazars words had no affect on them after all sense some Gryffindors still had a hatred for the snakes. As for our heirs, they were never apart. The small pack consisting of each heir as well as their friends were growing popular among the other students. They were given a separate table during breakfast and lunch where they all sat. They each sat together in whatever classes they shared which pleased Harry. The abundance of friends were a great change in his life that he welcomed dearly, Slowly his dark assassin personality shifted in favor of a lighter more cynical personality. Despite his morbid sense of humor and sometimes sadistic mean streak, he was protective of his friends and any time one of them were hurt, he would hold a big grudge against them.
Harry and co were sitting at their lunch table in the great hall talking and eating. The girls were talking about hogwarts while the boys were talking about Quidditch and Pranks, The group had expanded to accompany the twins Fred and George Weasley as well as Blaise Zabini from slytherin and The twins friend Lee Jordan. The twins were always discussing pranking and ideas with Harry and surprisingly Draco who moved out of the pureblood arrogance nature and followed the twins and Harry into the art of pranks. Many times the teachers and students fell victim to untraceable pranks that despite their beliefs of who did it, couldnt find evidence to punish the pranking Quintuplet. They were discussing their next project when an annoying voice spoke from behind them. Ron Weasley followed by his two reluctant cronies approached the heir table with a smirk on his face, not seen on his two companions. He spoke to the group as he said. "Why are you guys hanging around the slimy snakes, We all know they're going to follow you-know-who when they graduate, thats all they're good for when they grow up." Surprised and Annoyed, Harry was about to speak up only to watch in surprise as Neville stood up and turned to the lions. "Why are you such an arrogant git, your brothers aren't like that."He spoke with a pure loathing never before seen in the young Longbottom/Gryffindor heir. Taken back by the usually shy heir ron smirk turned into a scowl as he spoke a phrase that solidified his name in Harry's hit-list." Who asked you squib." Now, anyone who knew Harry would know that he didn't take kindly to insults, After repeated attempts at getting under his skin by the young redhead which leaded in failed attempts and many close calls with Harry's daggers. The surrounding people silenced as a dark pressure leaked from Harrys form. Sensing the danger, the twins tried to calm down their new friend from their stupid brothers remark but it was all in vain as Harry softly told the twins to move. Biting their lips and stepping away leaving the assassin a clear path toward the nervous weasley. Lunch was almost over so the teachers and most of the students were cleared out which harry Happily noted as he pulled out a small stick from his pocket. This was one of his favorite non-lethal weapons. Pressing a button on it, It extended into a 4 foot staff much to the confusion of his friends. Glancing at luna, who after several talks both agreed to limit themselves to avoid suspicion, he saw her discreetly shrug and turned back to the Young Weasley with a grin on his face. "How about i teach you some manners Weasel?" With that, Harry began thrashing the young Weasely around, using a mix of Swings and Jabs he left the boy in bruises and unconscious much to his 2 lackeys horror who quietly backed away. Expecting this from the violent boy after seeing him on more than one occasion take down students twice his size, the rest of his friends sighed and watched the beating.
Walking from Defense against The Dark Arts, Harry had things on his mind. After giving weasley a piece of his mind he went to History of Magic and got called to Dumbledore's office, after a scolding from the old wizard to which Harry happily ignored. He wanted to talk to snape and he knew Quirrell was a pushover teacher so he patiently waited for the class to be over and pondered on how he was gonna present his idea to snape. He wanted to have access to an empty room to be able to refine his skills. He knew that if he didn't train his skills would get rusty so after deciding on a training regime he composed a list and watched the other students make a fool of themselves as the timid teacher tried to calm them down. After repeated failed attempts Harry caught the professors eyes and winced as his scar burned. He noted that Quirrel's eyes shifted into an intimidating crimson color briefly before returning to the previous brown color as the pain vanished. Storing the questions for later harry watched the teacher for the rest of the period hoping to catch his eyes once more to no avail. Once the bell rung harry rushed out of the class and swiftly made his way to the dungeons. Knocking on Snapes door he waited until it unlocked and opened letting him in. Walking in, he spotted snape behind a cauldron brewing as he smirked, the scene reminding him of a book with a which singing over a cauldron. Speaking up he said "Professor, is it okay if i used a classroom for exercise?" Snape glanced at the young Potter. Smirking he said " And what would you like a classroom for Mr. Potter?" harry in turn sighed. He knew the questions were going to happen "I want to keep up my skills to make sure i won't get rusty." Nodding, Snape shrugged and said "Okay you can use my room." Harry was surprise, it didn't take that much to convince him. Hiding his surprise he nodded and said a quick thanks before walking out of the room and back to the dorm. His mind still on Quirrell, He was confused as to what happen. "Im going to need to get to the bottom of this." He whispered knowing exactly how he was going to do this.
A/N: Kinda short but i'm still working on this project. This is a filler chapter to get a sense of what hogwarts is like. Next chapter will be more about how hogwarts is and we will move into the infamous Halloween scene, This will be the scene to make or break the series guys, As always rate and review so i can gauge how i am doing with this story. If you have any ideas just Review them and if you feel like this story is heading in the wrong direction just tell me. I feel like i'm approaching hogwarts wrong so there is a possibility that i will shift some things in the next chapter. Also i am thinking, Harry would be way smarter than canon so i will let him know more than first year spells. He will know up to 5 years of spells and as i said he will be more powerful than almost every character. As always i hope you enjoyed guys and i will post between now and next week friday. Later!
