Chapter 10: Classes begins...
Harry and Vita were waiting for Hermione to come down from the dorm...
"That's it I'm going to get her." Vita stated as she stomped back up the stairs and a mild shriek was heard, next thing Harry saw was Vita walking down the step with a smile. "She was taking too long."
"That wasn't nice. Vita." Hermione stated with a mild glare. "I was just reading."
"And we have class soon." Harry stated as he looked at the clock. "And we really don't know this place all that well."
"You're right." Hermione stated with her head down.
Inside the dungeons, the classroom door opened with a slam...
"There will not be any foolish wand waving in this class." Snape stated as he walked into the room. "I'll teach you how to survive in this world using your mind." Snape stated as he looked at the students stopping at Harry. "Our newest Celebrity. Potter, what would I get with powdered root of asphodel to an infusion of wormwood?" Snape stated with a smirk.
"That would be the Drought of Living Death." Vita answered, making Snape blink.
"Well now... Mr. Potter, what is the difference between Monkshood and Wolfsbane?" Snape asked as he looked straight at Harry.
"Nothing really just depends on when you pick them, they are the same plant after all." Harry stated as he made Snape glare at Harry.
"Longbottom, where will I find a Bezoar?" Snape asked harshly.
"I know it's not a plant..." Neville started to say as he thought it through. "It's a stone... but you asked where..." Neville stated as he started to get closer. "In a goat, I believe."
"You are correct, but more importantly, the stomach of a Goat." Snape stated as he started to explain the potion they were going to make in the second half of class.
After the class was over...
"Professor..." Hayate asked as she looked at her head of house.
"Yes, Miss Yagami." Snape replied as he looked up.
"I'm wondering what did Harry do to upset you?" Hayate asked.
"It's not him..." Snape stated quietly. "Why do you care about him?"
"I lived with him for a long time." Hayate replied making Snape blink.
"Why, I thought he lived with his family?" Snape replied frowning.
"I don't know... but Harry and I lived together as long as I remember." Hayate stated with her head down.
"I see..." Snape stated with a smile. "So he isn't like his father, I'll give him a chance, he blows it... no chances." Snape stated as he waved his hand in dismissal.
The next Class with Snape...
"So miss Harlaown, how can I tell the difference between two different Love Potions?" Snape asked.
"Professor, which Love Potions, without the names how could I compare them." Fate answered worried.
"I see you have a good head on your shoulders. miss Takamachi, how would I tell the difference between Blood replenisher and Amorentia?" Snape asked as Nanoha blinked and saw Fate snicker.
"Ummm..." Nanoha looked like a deer in headlights. ~Fate help please...~
~No can do... we made promises not to use telepathy during class.~ Fate replied while Snape looked at Nanoha expecting an answer.
"I don't know." Nanoha stated with her head down.
"Not surprising, as that would be something you would learn in later years. Now listen up, I'll be teaching you how to brew the potion but it is up to you to brew it right." Snape stated as he looked at his class. "Do not make me regret this."
With the Gryffindors...
"So what's with the cat?" Harry asked as he, Hermione, and Vita walked in on time.
"Maybe it's to see who's paying attention to class." Hermione replied as the three friends sat down together.
"But where is Professor McGonagall?" Vita asked as she looked around the room, right as Ron and Seamus ran into the room.
"Oh look McGonagall isn't here yet." Ron stated a little out of breathe, right as the cat morphed into said Professor. "Bloody Hell." Ron stated shocked.
"That would be ten points for being late, and another five for your language Mr. Weasley." Minerva stated as Ron groaned.
"We got lost." Ron lied.
"Actually he wanted to stay in the great hall." Seamus muttered.
"I'll let it slide this one time, don't miss another class." McGonagall stated as Ron and Seamus sat down.
'Stupid Idiot.' Vita thought as she paid attention to the lesson and as they left the class. ~Master, I think we should watch out for Hermione, I don't trust him.~
~I agree, anyways we have to find out what Dumbledore wants to meet me about.~ Harry replied as he thought back to the note he received that morning.
'How are they talking?' Hermione thought as she watched them. "Charms is next with the Hufflepuffs."
"We know... You know this is quite fun." Harry stated as he looked at his friends.
"Do you know why Nanoha was sorted into Hufflepuff?" Hermione asked as she looked at the two of them.
"Nanoha is a loyal friend to a fault, and she makes friends far easier than enemies." Harry replied as they enter the classroom and sat down.
Neat a stone Gargoyle...
"He said his office was near here..." Harry stated as he looked around.
"Ah, Mister Potter, You are early." Albus stated as he walked up behind Harry and then to the gargoyle. "Sugar quill." Albus stated as the gargoyle moved to reveal stairs. "Now come along." Albus stated as he walked up the stairs, and Harry went up them as well. "Now Harry, I would like you to stay with your guardian this summer."
"I'll see about it." Harry replied with a shrug. "But why do you care where I stay during the summer. As I see it, once I'm not here you have no authority over me." Harry stated calmly.
"I care about your safety." Albus retorted.
"I'm safer in Japan, then here since almost no one knows that I lived overseas." Harry stated a little annoyed.
"It's for your Greater Good." Albus stated with a mental smirk.
"I don't think it is, you are obliviously trying to send me to the family that placed me in Japan in the first place." Harry stated annoyed at the headmaster.
"Living on your own isn't a good thing for you." Albus countered trying to reason his idea without saying why.
"I've been living with Hayate since we could walk on our own." Harry stated very annoyed. "I don't care if you think it's better for me, I've been emancipated and by law I can chose where I live and how." Harry stated as he turned to walk out.
"Harry, I want what's best for you." Albus stated angrily making Harry stop.
"Is that so... if I went to that place when would I get to see my friends?" Harry asked with his head tilted looking over his shoulder.
"It would be wise not to." Albus replied.
"Then the answer is no." Harry stated as he walked away.
"Blast that boy." Albus muttered as he quickly smiled. "But he gave me a way in..." and with that said Albus started planning.
As the days go by, and near the Quidditch pitch...
"This looks like a nice spot." Nanoha stated as she stretched her back a bit, then held her hand out. "Holy light, come to my hand. Under my guidance, reverberate through the sky!" A pink ball appeared and started to float as a pink glyph appeared beneath her feet. "Axel Shooter." and she then tossed a rock with her other hand. "Shoot!" Nanoha shouted as the ball zoomed into the air bouncing the rock.
[Ten.] Raising Heart counted as the ball whacked the rock around. [Twenty, thirty, forty.] Raising Hear counted as Nanoha had a look of concentration as the ball started to zoom faster. [Fifty-five, Seventy, Eighty.] Raising Heart stated as the ball slowed down for a second then started to go at a blistering speed. [Ninety, one Hundred ten, one hundred fifteen, one hundred thirty.]Raising Heart stated as the rock started to fall. [One hundred forty-nine.] Raising Heart stated as the rock had almost hit the ground and the ball zoomed to hit it. [One hundred fifty. You've improved by five hits, my master.]
"Darn and I was trying for two hundred." Nanoha stated as she sat down.
"That looked fun." Hagrid stated as Nanoha looked up at the giant. "But I never seen a spell do that before."
"It's a Japanese spell and a training method to improve control. Using this method you can control and direct your spells." Nanoha stated as she leaned back looking at the sky.
"Stupid idiots." Vita muttered as she walked over. "Saw you practicing and thought I might as well." Vita stated as she placed a bucket filled with iron balls while swinging a small headed hammer. "Time for me to let loose." Vita stated as she started to do some practice swings.
"Need some help?" Hagrid asked as he saw her pick up a ball.
"Not really." Vita stated as she threw the ball into the air and then hammered it away, only for it to fly back at her. "This is going to be fun." Vita stated with a smirk as she then slammed it again and hit another ball thrown by Nanoha, who also was smirking. "I'll get you for this!" Vita shouted as she quickly hit the two balls away. "Nanoha!" Vita shouted as Nanoha tossed another at her. 'Stupid girl...' Vita thought as she started to rapidly strike the balls so that they had a rhythm for the impact sounds.
"Hey Fred, does that sound like someone practicing?" George Weasley stated to his twin.
"Yeah it does. Shall we go check it out?" Fred replied as they walked into the pitch to see Nanoha tossing balls at Vita who was whacking them away and the tempo they saw would make them grin. "We found our replacements."
"Well we still need to find another." George replied as he watched Vita continue through the bucket of balls and still keep the balls away from her.
"Another what?" Nanoha asked as she walked over to the twins.
"Beaters for our Quidditch team." Fred replied before getting elbowed in the side.
"She is from Hufflepuff." George chided as Nanoha tilted her head.
"But I got friends in all the houses." Nanoha replied as she looked worried.
"Are you one of the girls who is friends with Harry Potter?" George asked.
"Yup, Nanoha Takamachi." Nanoha stated with a smile.
'Oh, my god...' the twins both thought as they saw the grin of doom. 'There is no one that can say no to that.' they both thought before backing up.
"Is something wrong?" Nanoha asked worry etching her face.
"No, nothing's wrong we just got to talk to Wood." Fred stated as he grabbed his twin and ran for the castle.
"What was that about?" Nanoha asked as she heard the ringing noise stop. "You finished?"
"Yeah. Still though fifty balls is my limit." Vita stated as Hagrid blinked in surprise.
"You were controlling them to attack you?" Hagrid asked shocked.
"Well, normally no, I just do that to practice my control." Vita stated as her hammer disappeared.
The next day, at the Wizengamot...
"Shall we start with this new bill?" Albus stated as he sat down at his seat when Amelia Bones walked in with several aurors. "Madam Bones what are you doing here?"
"I've gotten word that there has been a miscarriage of the law." Amelia stated as she held up a document. "Since a will sealed is no longer sealed when said person is of age or emancipated, they can look at said will, he then forward a section to me." Amelia stated with a scowl, making two people gulp.
"One of the things he found out that is that three people not related to the immediate family has removed money from his vaults, that's being cared by the goblins as it wasn't in the will for those people to have access. The second thing is the fact that Sirius Black wasn't the secret keeper, in fact it was the very person he went after. So that leaves us to find out what really happened that day so I visited him. Cornelius Fudge you are also implied for taking bribes from funds that wasn't theirs to give and Lucius Malfoy, you don't know how much I would like to leave you to the goblins, you are charged with bribery." Amelia Bones stated.
"I didn't know that Lucius took money from the vault, I admit I never knew..." Albus started to say.
"It's in the Potter will who did the charm, Albus." Amelia stated but then smiled. "Harry is willing to not to place the charges on you if you leave him alone. And that means no telling him where to live." Amelia stated as she looked at Albus.
"Very well, I'll not try to force him anymore." Albus stated as he shook his head. 'Where did he get the... He must have asked to see his parents will. Damn the goblins. I might as well tell Molly to start her plan earlier than hoped. I need to get Harry away from those girls.' Albus thought as his law fell apart.
A/N: Another great plan doomed to flop... And Albus is in between a rock and a hard place, his plan to guide Harry is failing and he doesn't have any way to fix the problem...
