Disclaimer: Not mine no money, sry about long wait and short length of story but i couldn't get on the computer, i had writers block on this story and an overabundance of non related plot bunnies. I will try to get the next chappie out sooner and make it longer
After Halloween Harry's days were filled with homework, studying, and other students with the x gene who thought that claws were cool.
They would often ask him to take them out so that they could see them for themselves. Harry found the attention amusing, but he was glad that no one there was frightened of him, with the possible exceptions of the two Neanderthals Crabbe and goyle as well as Parkinson in Slytherin, and Ron and Percy in Gryffindor.
Shortly after the incident with the troll the news about there being at least one mutant among the student populace had spread to the families back home. Quite a few were surprisingly okay with it. There were one or two who had sent howlers stating that all mutants were unnatural and should be cursed.
Of course by that time Dr. Strange had lifted the blocks preventing the other students from accessing their x genes. Surprisingly large amounts were from pureblood families.
Draco's mutation was the ability of turning himself into pure energy; it was actually fascinating to watch. Hermione's mutation was, aside from being able to remember everything in perfect detail, to project lifelike holographic images from her eyes. Neville could communicate with the earth and control the plants, while the twin's mutations only worked while they were together. When they were together they were very powerful telepaths. Cedric's mutation was the ability to control gravity. Almost half the population of hogwarts students were mutants.
There were however some families that were not okay with it and wanted to have the blocks on the x genes replaced, Lucius Malfoy was one of them. The ministry though could not have the blocks replaced without the student's permission, which was what they had agreed to in order to get Dr. Strange to come and be the headmaster.
The majority of the students, after the initial shock had worn off were quite happy with their mutant status. Unfortunately those students whose parents were against mutants had forced their children to make a hard choice, to either unwillingly lose their mutations or to no longer have a family.
Harry was very distressed because most of his friends were put in that position. Hermione's family, while they were all right with her being a witch, had reacted badly to her being a mutant. Draco and Neville's family had delivered an ultimatum to either have their mutation magically suppressed or to no longer have a family. The twins family had assumed that they would jump at the chance to have their 'unnaturalness' removed. They had been very unhappy when the twins had told them otherwise and had disowned them in front of the school. Harry had to admit that their reaction to this was funny.
"You are no longer worthy of the name Weasley!"
"Thank god for that"
"Otherwise we would be forced to kiss the wrinkled rear end of the old goat for the rest of our lives"
"That does it, you are disinherited!"
"Oh the horrors, to be disinherited from the family fortune"
"Of debts, how will we ever live?"
Cedric was lucky, his parents loved him greatly, and while they were somewhat shocked to learn about his new abilities they were very supportive of him after they got used to it. They had even offered to take in some of the less fortunate children. Logan had insisted on taking in both Draco and Neville, while Hermione and the twins were going to be living with cedric.
Eventually it was almost time for the Christmas holidays and Harry was excited because he all of his friends were going to be port keying back to the x mansion for them. Harry had told them all about the x men and how much fun it was to celebrate Christmas at the mansion. The Diggorys were also coming along, they had been wanting to holiday in America for a while and had jumped at the chance to get to see some of New York, it was also a bonus that their sons friends would be there as well. Harry knew that this would be the best Christmas ever.
