Hello readers and welcome to my new chapter. Once again, I had to make this chapter into parts since it was too long. So this will be part 1 and then there will be part 2. So, enjoy.

Reading Ch 07: Harry's Past 1, Part 1
"Uuuugh," Ron groaned as he got up from his position on the floor. "What happened?"
Harry look down when he heard Ron's voice. The others follow suit and they all saw that the redhead is up now. "Glad to see you awake." Harry told his friend, before answering his questions. "And as to what happened, you saw a spider bigger than Aragog and fainted."
Ron paled and shivered. "I-is it dead?"
"Yeah Ron, it's dead." Harry confirmed, getting Ron to sigh in relief. "Alright, who want to read this book now?"
"I'll do it." Yang volunteered, getting the book. "Chapter 7-Harry's past Part 1…."
That cause Harry to stiffen and turn paler than usual. Several of the readers glance at the boy worriedly, but he didn't pay attention to them. 'Oh no. No, no, no, no, no. Please, let this be something else.'
"AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Summer laughed and patted her stomach. "I haven't felt this full since I found that nomad caravan three years back!"
After Summer got bored of chasing Ozpin (and her exhaustion set in again), she was carried to the infirmary for a check-up and something to eat. Summer had instantly agreed and had been eating her fill since Glynda had levitated her to the infirmary.
Ozpin sighed in relief, slumping into his seat. 'Thank you exhaustion.' His other get to live for another day.
Ruby was sitting on the side of the bed, watching her mother with childlike wonder. She had been here her mother had been brought here, simply wanting to be close to the mother she lost. She had been listening to her mother's explanation as to what had happened to her for eleven years.
"So? You were stuck in those tunnels? Really?" Ruby asked, hope filling her voice. "You didn't just abandoned us?"
"From what we've seen, since our alternate selves are pretty like, I doubt your mother would just abandon you like that." Harry said to Ruby and Yang. "She seems like the type of mother who would give your life for you." 'Just like me own mother.' Harry couldn't help but think of the last part sadly.
Ruby smile, a few tears in her eyes, before hugging Harry. "Thank you." She whispered to Harry before she separated from him with a small blush.
"Heavens no!" Summer shouted, slamming her fork onto the plate in front of her. "I would never do that!" She sagged back into her pillows as she sighed, "I always thought I'd be back for you and Yang, Ruby. I found many places I thought I could get out, but the Death Eaters use them to lure their victims in. Damn things are sadistic as hell."
"Like you?" Yang asked from her spot on the other side of the bed, a slight touch of bitterness in her voice. While Yang was ecstatic that her mother was alive, well, and back with her and Ruby…Yang couldn't keep a sense of betrayal and anger down.
"Yang!" Ruby exclaimed in shock. "You heard her! She tried to get back to us!"
Yang merely grunted. "I have my reasons Ruby. Let me keep reading so I can explain why I feel that way." Ruby frown, but let her sister read.
Yes. The blonde brawler understood that Summer was essentially a POW of humanity's worst enemy, and she did try to come back to them, but Yang still felt anger towards the woman who raised her. It was unjustified, she knew, but she couldn't help it. Summer's absence reminded her too much of her birth mother's subsequent abandonment of her.
"It wasn't her fault Yang!"
"Like my other said, I couldn't help it." Yang told her sister. She feel the same way her other did.
Summer turned to stare at Yang with a small frown. "While I may be sadistic, those demons are worse," she said with a shiver. "Trust me, you don't want to know more than that."
"Yes, please listen to her." Ron pleaded. He don't want to hear anymore more about those demon spiders.
Glynda walked in with the rest of Team RWBY, along with Teams JNPR and HAIL floating behind her. After initiation, it was mandatory for the teams to get a routine check-up, but several students would skip out on it. So, it was Glynda's job to make sure they made it to their appointments.
And she wasn't about to let these twelve get away without getting the check-up.
"Do you really need to levitate them?" Ozpin said in amusement while Glynda huffed at him.
"I have to make sure none of them would escape." Glynda reasoned. "After all, there are some who would try." She gave pointed looks to Ruby, Yang, and Nora, all of whom are whistling innocently.
The ten students were complaining, of course. They always did. But, the ones that grated on Glynda's nerves were from Team HAIL.
"Let me down, hag! I don't need a check-up!" the bull Faunus, Mr. Taurus, told her irritably. Glynda twitched. He had been insulting her since she "insisted" they come to the infirmary. He seemed adamant that he thought the check-up was a waste of time.
Blake roll her eyes. Even before Adam turn into the monster she knows now, he would be stubborn about things like check-ups.
Glynda, merely, eyes twitch a little. A part of her is glad that she didn't have to deal with that young man.
"Let me go! Let me go! Let me gooooooo!" the redhead of the group, Miss Nightingale, begged. "I promise I won't get hurt again! Please! Just don't make me go into that sterilized nightmare, I beg YOU!"
"Whoa." Yang said with wide eyes, which was the general reaction from everyone. "I don't even think a little kid would react like that."
"What would make her react like that?" Glynda murmured in shock.
Glynda would have been shocked at her rather hysterical reaction to the infirmary, if she hadn't already read the young girl's file. Turns out, she had been kidnapped from her adopted family (who were Faunus) in a hospital, and several doctors (who were extremely racist) had beat her, trying to "convince" her to leave her family. When that didn't work, they drugged her, hoping to coerce her into agreeing with them.
Needless to say, it left her with a deep rooted fear of hospitals.
That cause several scowls to form and for Blake to hiss. "And you wonder why the White Fang turn to what they are now." Blake hissed out. It people like those doctors that change a once peaceful group into terrorists.
"Poor Lily." Ruby whispered, feeling bad for the redhead. Someone like Lily didn't deserve that.
"This is quite pointless, Professor Goodwitch, ma'am," the fox Faunus, Miss Vulpes, droned. "Lily and I are the least injured out of the four of us. We have no reason to be here." She was the least aggravating to Glynda. Miss Vulpes wasn't actively fighting her.
Mr. Potter, however, wasn't so much the most infuriating one of the bunch, rather the most worrisome. "Great. Just great," he grumbled as they came to the infirmary. Since being lifted up by Glynda's telekinesis, the boy had crossed his arms and legs and somehow positioned himself on his side with a cross look on his face. "Not even at Beacon three days, and I'm already in the infirmary." He sighed. "Gotta be a new record or something."
Ron whistled. "Last time it was a few months before you went to the infirmary."
"But now he entered it before he got to school." Hermione teased. "Definitely a new record." Hermione and Ron laugh Harry rolled his eyes.
"Ha, ha, laugh it up you two." Harry grumbled. "I would like to see you two have better luck in my position."
"Thankfully, we don't have the Potter." Hermione grinned. As the three joked, the hunters and huntresses look at the group like they were crazy.
"How many times did he get in the infirmary?" Yang asked in disbelief. Not even she would joke about something like that.
Glynda and Ozpin, meanwhile, look at one another in concern. How much trouble did that boy get into that he and his friends would joke about going in the infirmary so many times.
The casual way he said this made red flags wave in Glynda's mind. Something about his bland attitude towards visiting the infirmary didn't sit well with the Huntress. It was almost as if it was a common occurrence…
Harry snorted. "It was a common occurrence." He told them. "I always end up in the infirmary at least once a year. By the time I got in fourth year, it was at least once a month."
"...And you stayed at your school why?" Weiss asked incredulously. Her father would've gotten her out of that school if dangerous things happened that often at her age.
"First, it was either that or risk staying with the Dursleys." Harry told them. "It was an easy choice. Second, Hogwarts was the only magical school I know of in Britain. And third, I doubt the Dursleys would care about my safety." Honestly, they would encourage Harry stay at the school if they knew about the amount of danger he faced there.
That didn't ease any of them. Rather, it concerned all of the hunters and huntresses in there, as well as his friends.
"Well, if you didn't always do things the hard way," Weiss told the moping Harry.
"I don't always do things the hard way!" Harry denied.
"Then explain to me why you used 'that' instead of your Semblance!" she shouted.
"I couldn't gather enough Dust from the air to do much of anything!" he shouted back. "I would have been as useful as one of your suitcases!"
"HOW…DARE YOU!"
"Damn." Yang whistled as Weiss fumed at the last thing Harry said. "Those two can argue easily as breathing."
Glynda groan while Ozpin chuckled. They both can imagine the headache the other Glynda is having.
"Enough!" Glynda snapped. This was the source of her growling irritation and headache: Miss Schnee and Mr. Potter's arguing. They argued as easily as breathing, it would seem.
"My poor alternate self." Glynda muttered to herself. She can't imagine how she can deal with that.
The two huffed and turned away from each other. Summer giggled from her bed. "Looks like my savior hates the infirmary," she teased lightly.
Harry scoffed. "Not hate, more like tired of it." The white walls and smell of sterilized air get tiring after a while.
"Hardly," said savior scoffed, turning to face the woman. "It's just extremely tiring to see the white walls and smell the sterilized air of an infirmary after a while."
"You make it sound like you go to the infirmary on a daily basis," Ren observed.
"He does." Hermione and Ron deadpanned. They both lost track of how many times Harry went into the infirmary.
"If Madam Pomfrey had it her way, I might have found myself there every day of the week," Harry said with a sigh. "Lord knows she's the one person I saw the most back at my old school. 'No safer place in the world,' a friend once said. Yet, my friends and I found ourselves in more mortal danger than when I was with my so-called relatives."
Everyone look towards the magic users of the group with widen eyes. "W-What kind of school did you use to go to?" Before Harry could answer, Yang spoke up.
"Hold the thought Vomit Boy." Yang told him. "The other vomit boy asked the same question on here."
Everyone snapped towards Harry at that. "W-what kind of school did you use to go to?" Jaune asked nervously.
"The kind filled with ignorant, stupid, and racist bigots that make the idiots who hate Faunus seem nice in comparison," Harry said, making his fellow students' eyes widen. Blake turned to Harry with a frown.
Everyone's eyes widen at the claim, before Blake frown. "He's exaggerating." Blake stated to Harry.
The boy in response let out a scoff. "I wish. I think my other will explain."
"You're exaggerating," she said mildly.
Her response from Harry was a short bitter laugh. "There were laws back home that stated that if you were different in any way, then you weren't human and didn't deserve the rights of the 'normal people.' Or if you weren't different, but disagreed with the heads of the government, they'd do anything and everything to ruin you," he told the disguised cat Faunus.
Teams RWBY, JNPR, Ozpin, and Glynda were shocked at that information. "Is that true?" Blake asked.
Harry nodded solemnly. "Most wizards are stuck-up and arrogant to a fault, which has led them to be corrupt for a long time now."
"Bloody Ministry is run by mostly by Voldemort's followers, the Death Eaters, now," Ron grumbled darkly. "After they got off after the first war by claiming they were Imperiused, a spell that controls a person's will," he added when he saw the others' confusion, "they bribed and cheated their way back into power and started to try and promote their 'pureblood' ideals."
"Which states that if you couldn't trace your family's line back three generations in magic, you were inferior to them," Hermione finished quietly, pulling her knees up to her chest.
"Or even if you don't follow their rules or don't believe what they believe to a T, you're nothing but a traitor and deserved to die," Ron added, clenching his fists.
Glynda narrowed her eyes at the three in concern. Their expressions worried her.
Her eyes widened. "Trust me. I've been on both sides of those observations. Where I came from was no-where as nice as here. At least Faunus are treated like people here. One of my old teachers, a man I now consider my uncle, had a condition that he couldn't control; and he was treated like a rabid animal."
The group of hunters and huntresses are even more shock at that. "W-What condition?" Jaune asked hesitantly, afraid to ask.
"It's called lycanthropy, which is the ability to turn into a werewolf if some of you don't know." Harry said to them, shocking most of them even more. "He was bitten by one at age four, and is the reason why he was treated like an animal."
All the hunters and huntresses were shocked at such a disease existing, and horrified that someone would be treated badly for something he couldn't control. Even worse than a faunus.
"H-How can anyone be so cruel?" Ruby asked, aghast.
"Because they were cowards," Harry said with a frown.
"Must be a lot more if you're tone is any indication," Pyrrha noted.
"Oh! I could say more, but those words are not suited for everyone present."
"To summarize? Ruby." Yang joked, trying to hide the concern she's feeling.
Ruby protested while Weiss and Blake snorted a little. Meanwhile, Ozpin look at Harry with some concern. "I assume you share the same feeling as your alternate self?"
"And those words aren't suited for everyone here." Harry repeated what his other self said.
Summer frowned at Harry. His words now, and his rant in the tunnels showed he must have had a rough childhood.
Ozpin and Glynda look at Harry, who didn't look at anyone in the eye, not even his concern friends.
"I've DONE the impossible simply by having the audacity to live! I AM IMPOSSIBLE!"
"That's one hint." Ozpin muttered to himself.
Considering what he said he had to done since he was eleven, she would believe him when he said he was impossible. What did he mean by that? Had he lived through something so tragic that he found it hard to believe he was alive?
'Yes.' Ron and Hermione thought, the both of them looking at their friend in concern. It's very obvious that he doesn't any of his to be revealed, especially to those he barely.
"Harry?" Ruby asked in concern, noticing that he seems a little stiff. "Are you okay?"
Harry smile weakly. "Yeah, I'm alright." Ruby look like she doubted it, but let it slide.
"My friends and I found ourselves in more mortal danger than when I was with my so-called relatives."
"Another hint." Ozpin said to himself. Hints of going through tragic things and hints that he was abused.
Was Harry abused? She hoped not. A child should ever go through that. Summer didn't even want to think that. Harry was so happy. So confident.
'Which is why all of us are worried.' Was most of the thoughts of everyone.
Pyrrha frowned at his words. There was more to Potter than she thought. Was his home life so bad before the Schnee's?
'Like you wouldn't believe.' Harry thought to himself, while avoiding the looks of concern from everyone else.
He doesn't want this. Don't want any part of his past revealed to anyone. But this book is slowly unraveling it.
Glynda finally stopped levitating the students, and they fell to the ground. Weiss, Pyrrha, Ren, Blake, Harry, and Adam were the only ones to land on their feet. "Now that we're here," Glynda said sharply. "The nurses can begin your check-ups." She turned and glared at Harry. "Especially you."
Harry turn to Glynda. "You're a lot like to teachers I know."
"And who may they be?" Glynda asked in curiosity.
"My transfiguration professor and deputy headmistress, Professor Mcgonagall." Harry told her. "And the nurse of the school, Madam Pomphrey." The both of them have the same stern, no nonsense attitude like Glynda Goodwitch seems to have.
"Hmm." Glynda hummed to herself before addressing Harry. "It might be nice meeting them." Ron shivered. One Mcgonagall is enough. He doesn't want another.
Harry rolled his eyes as two nurses walked up. "Mr. Potter?" one nurse with a squirrel's tail asked. "Could you please remove your jacket and shirt? So we can see the extent of your injuries?"
Harry stared blankly at the woman for a few minutes. Weiss groaned and slapped him in the back of the head. "Do it!" she hissed, tired of his stalling.
"The old Schnee temper!"
"Shut up!" Weiss hissed with a small blush on her cheek. She's not that bad!
The wolf Faunus sighed, and slid his jacket off, throwing it onto a bed next to him. Ruby stiffened and started to blush darkly.
Ruby did the same thing as well, making her team chuckle while Harry shuffled from his seat awkwardly. He still don't know how to take the fact that Ruby got a crush on him.
Ozpin chuckle. "Ah, young love."
"Indeed." Glynda responded with a small amuse smile.
Summer noticed this, and grinned. 'So my little Rose has a crush on the Big Bad Wolf, eh?' she thought. 'Don't worry Little Rose. I'll make sure you get your Wolf…and I can pay off my debt to said Wolf.' Summer never was one to turn down an opportunity to play matchmaker, after all.
'Oh no.' Ozpin and Glynda thought in unison. They both knew that look all too well.
Ruby blush up a storm at the thought of being with Harry, the boy-who-live himself was blush a little, but look a little bit nervous at Summer's gleam, and Hermione look a little bit worried.
Yang and Nora pouted. "Come on mom." Yang muttered, wanting her step-mom to pair her up with Harry.
She did it with Oobleck and his wife, as well as Port and his wife.
"Huh?" Was the response of the young hunters and huntresses. Those two are married? And Summer helped with that?
Ozpin decided to answer. "Yes. Summer has been known to pair up several people, and never fails to at it." Ruby blush even further and glance at Harry. Will her other self be able to be with Harry?
It might not be ideal, but Summer needed to find a way to repay Harry. On the way to the team placements, he shot down all of her previous attempts to do so, infuriating the white cloaked Huntress.
Hermione shook her head. "That's Harry for you. Not accepting anything in return for helping others."
"Yeah." Ron agreed with Hermione. Harry merely shrug. He don't really think he need to be repay for helping others. That is something most people would do.
This would have to do.
Glynda looked over to Summer and noticed the gleam in her eyes as she stared at Harry and her blushing daughter. 'Oh, no. I know that look.' Glynda looked over to Harry and thought, 'I wish you the best of luck, Mr. Potter. When Summer begins her "matchmaking," it will more than likely happen.'
Hermione now look very worried while Ozpin and Glynda nodded in agreement. "How long do you think Summer will get them paired up?"
"I see before the semester will end, at the least." Ozpin responded back to his colleague. "If not then, then during the Vytal Tournament."
Harry paid none of this any mind as he tugged off his shirt. He threw it next to his jacket and said, "There, happy?"
Weiss sniffed. "I'm not unhappy."
Harry sighed in exasperation. The nurses looked to the others. "Well? Shirts off," the other nurse, a human, said.
"What?!" Weiss shouted while Ruby, Blake, and Pyrrha blush heavily.
"She's talking about the men Mrs. Schnee." Glynda clarified for the Schnee heiress.
"Oh." Now Weiss blushed in embarrassment while the three previous blushing girls sighed in relief.
"What?!" Weiss shouted.
"The men, Miss Schnee," the nurse clarified.
"Oh." Weiss blushed.
"Now," the squirrel Faunus ordered. The men sighed, but they did as they were ordered. Yang, being Yang, decided to see who was worth her time (besides Harry of course!).
Ruby, Blake, and Weiss sighed in exasperation while Jaune, Ren, and Harry blush at the fact they're going to be checked out. "Only you Yang." Blake breathed out.
"I don't see a problem with it." Yang replied with a shrug. She grin. "In fact, I'll be enjoying the eye candies."
The first one she saw was the bull Faunus, Adam. He had rock hard abs and Yang noticed with no small amount of satisfaction he had a twelve pack. 'Very nice!' she thought with an impious grin.
He had a myriad of scars racing across his torso, stomach, and back. However, they weren't glaringly noticeable, and only seemed to add to his looks. His red streaked brown hair was spiked up and swept back, seemingly following the path of his jet black horns. He still had his mask on, but it gave him an air of mystery about him. All in all, Yang liked what she saw. Very much. 'I wonder what he's like in bed.'
Ruby, Blake, Weiss, Pyrrha, and Hermione blush at that. "Yang!" Her team yelled at her.
"What?" Was all Yang said. "Like none of you thought about it?"
"NO!"
"Not even you Blakey?" Blake shook her head rapidly, trying to get rid of her blush. She may have had a crush on him when she was a child, but she saw him as a mentor and friend. Well, used to.
The next she saw was Jaune, and…well…Okay, so he wasn't as bad looking as she previously thought, she had to admit. He did have a fair bit of muscle on him; not enough to be considered buff, but just enough not to be considered scrawny. His blonde hair was still very messy, but now that Yang could see his muscles, she had to say the looked worked for him. 'Just…Not for me,' she decided.
Jaune sighed. "Well, at least she didn't take a blow at my pride." Jaune said to himself, not noticing that Pyrrha is blushing at seeing a shirtless Jaune.
Nora gave her female friend a teasing grin, silently asking if she like what she's seeing, causing Pyrrha to blush even more and turn away.
Ren was next in her line of vision. Yang noticed he seemed a bit apprehensive being shirtless in front of a room of mostly women. She grinned at that. So he was one of those shy types, eh?
"Oh yeah! Ren doesn't like being showing his body in front of women! Maybe it's because-" Ren put his hand over his friend's mouth while she continue to prattle on, not noticing the hand.
"Continue." Ren told them.
He had finally shed his shirt, and Yang noticed he had the body of a typical martial artist, built to kill and/or maim. 'Or fuck,' Yang hummed thoughtfully, thinking of…less than pure scenarios that she would love to see Ren in. Most likely with her. His hair was combed and laying straight, with a single magenta strand framing his face, giving him an exotic look in combination with his magenta colored eyes. He sported a six pack, which was a plus in Yang's mind.
Ren blush and turn away when Yang at him while her team, Hermione, and Glynda look at the blonde girl in obvious disapproval. "Have you no shame?"
"Nope." Yang freely admitted. Weiss sighed. At least she's self aware.
'And last, but simply, NOT least!' Yang thought dramatically. 'Mr. Hot Stuff himself! Harry Po…' Her mind blanked out at the sight in front of her.
"What? What is it?" Yang asked before her mind gone blank at the site. She, along with all the other girls, are blushing on what is on the TV. Yang even dropped her book, causing Glynda to pick up the girl.
"I'll read." Was all Glynda said before reading again.
Harry stood a few feet away from her, grumbling as he unwrapped his bandaged arm, so she had an unobstructed view of him. He was lithe and streamlined, much like a marathon runner or a swimmer would be with an eight pack that Yang had trouble tearing her gaze away from. His arms were big, not as big as Adam's, but he certainly outdid Ren and Jaune. His midnight black hair could only be described as chaos. It flew everywhere, seemingly without care. His eyes, the truest green she had ever seen, mesmerized her. They pulled her in. Yang drooled as she eyed him ravenously. His physique was only further intensified by his wolf ears and tail, which were the same jet black of his hair.
Ron look envious. "Damn, mate, your other is buff!"
Harry just shrugged. Honestly, it didn't surprise him that his other was that buff. He almost had the same physique as his other, just not as muscular. But that was to be expected because his other had trained his physical body for two whole years and Harry had yet to get that far.
Yet.
'Geez! Just one damn break! That's all I'm asking for here!' Jaune cried in his head. Just how could he compete with THAT?!
It didn't help that most of the girls are subconsciously drinking up the shirtless Harry, with good amount of blushes. Even Yang is blushing, and she's the girl that usually make guys blush.
And that's when her mind registered something else: His scars. Scars were sort of rare to see, because Aura did a good job in healing wounds, but there were exceptions. The first was if the scars were too old by the time the person's Aura was activated, they wouldn't be affected by Aura healing. The second was if the damage is extremely extensive, it didn't matter how good your Aura was at defending you, you would not leave without a scar.
The first that struck Yang were the ones on his chest. Seven crisscrossing scars that stretched the full length of his torso; from his shoulders to his waist. They weren't made in any sort of pattern, just randomly placed. However, they weren't repulsive by any means. In fact, like Adam's scars, they added to Harry's overall appearance, which was already drop-dead handsome.
Glynda grimaced at the scars, which did nothing to stop the dread from creeping into her mind.
Hermione, Blake, and Ruby had snapped out of their funk at the sight of the scars. Ruby winced at the sight. 'Those look like they hurt,' she thought.
Hermione, on the other hand, was horrified. 'T-those are from when he took that spell when saving Sirius!' As if he didn't have enough scars!
'Those must be constant reminders that he wasn't strong enough to save his godfather,' Blake thought quietly as she winced.
The next scar was one on his right arm. While not as eye catching as the ones on his chest, it caught her attention nonetheless. It was like someone punched a hole clean though his arm. The hole itself was about three inches wide, and Yang had to wince. Whatever made that hole had to have hurt.
'The Basilisk,' Harry thought as he rubbed his arm.
Meanwhile, Weiss was trying to tear her gaze away from the other Harry's chest. 'What's wrong with me?! I just met this guy?! I can't be falling for him!' She paused and thought quieter, 'Can I?'
The last was easily the least noticeable. The scar on his forehead. Yang thought it looked cool, it being shaped like a lightning bolt and all. But its shape was unusual; she had never seen a scar shape so perfectly.
Harry blinked in shock at the last one. His hand subconsciously moved up to his scar. Ron looked at Harry in amusement.
"Well, I bet your happy," he said smiling.
"...You have no idea, Ron," Harry said quietly, as a slow, content smile made its way across his face.
Ozpin frowned. "I'm afraid you two have us at a disadvantage here, may I ask what you two are talking about?"
"My scar used to be a lot more noticeable than this because of that soul piece Voldemort put in it," Harry explained. "Most people only ever knew me because of it. It was the most noticeable thing about me back home, and I absolutely hated it."
Ozpin frowned further. The more he heard about this Voldemort, the more he didn't like him.
Yang blushed. She knew Harry was hot, but Grimm dammit! She couldn't even look at him without her heart fluttering! Summer saw this, and smirked even wider.
'Even my little Sun Dragon? You're going to be one lucky man, Mr. Potter!' She cackled silently to herself.
'Lord have mercy on Mr. Potter's soul,' Glynda thought in dread. Summer was going to have a field day with that poor man.
'Yes, dear Lord, have mercy on his soul,' Glynda thought in horror while Yang and Harry blushed harder.
Weiss blushed darkly as well. She turned to Ruby and glared. "No offense, Ruby, but your mother is more of a fiend than your sister."
Ruby was blushing as well. "N-None taken," she stuttered. Honestly she was kind of thinking along those lines as well. She didn't want to share her crush with YANG! Ruby, when it came to her possessions, was a very selfish person. She nearly took Yang's hand off one time when the blonde tried on her cloak one time. If she had to share her CRUSH with Yang...well, Yang would be met with the business end of Crescent Rose.
Harry finished unwrapping his arm, and everyone winced. The bleeding had stopped, and it seemed that the wounds were trying to heal. Several puncture wounds riddled his arm, but several were healing quickly. The biggest problem were the larges gashes the large fangs had made. They weren't too deep, but they were deep enough to cause problems.
Everyone else winced as well, especially Hermione. "Yeah, definitely feels how it looks." Harry muttered, rubbing his arm. It strange that he can feel those wounds, but they're not physically there.
The squirrel Faunus grimaced. "Well, it seems that your Aura is going about healing the wound. Why wasn't it working before?"
Harry hesitated for a moment. He debated on whether or not he should tell them, but he decided that lying might not be in his best interest. Madam Pomfrey had a sixth sense when it came to lying, and lying would only make her mad. He wasn't sure just how much like Madam Pomfrey these nurses were, but he certainly wasn't taking any chances.
"Smart call." Hermione said with a smirk while Harry shudder at the looks he get whenever he try to lie to Madam Pomphrey. They never fail to put shiver on his spines.
"I…have a unique type of power, almost completely separate from my Aura," Harry explained. Not a lie, but not the whole truth either. This peaked everyone's interest. "However, I don't use it much, because the power mixes together with my Aura. As a result, my Aura isn't strong enough to defend me."
"That's intriguing," Ozpin called out as he walked into the infirmary. He had just finished filing some paperwork for the new teams, and the other professors had returned from their recon of the area that Team HAIL had found Summer. "Is this how you can perform several of the astonishing feats in the Emerald Forest?"
"Yes," Harry confirmed with a nod. There was no use in denying it now.
"You should've hid it better Harry." Hermione chided her friend. "Maybe Ozpin wouldn't be trying to dig info from you."
"You try facing one of the deadliest monsters on earth and see if you can hide your powers better without getting maimed or killed." Harry said dryly. He doubt keeping his powers hidden wasn't on his alternate self's mind at that time.
"We also did some reconnaissance on the hole you and your team came out of along with Summer," Ozpin explained. "We noticed that the ground floor was several stories down and was covered in black flames. Was that you're doing as well?"
"Yes sir."
Ozpin nodded. "Perhaps we can discuss this more later? I understand if you don't wish too, but I must make sure your power isn't a threat to my students."
Hermione frown. "You're making sound like he would hurt them or would lose control."
"I didn't mean it like that Ms. Granger." Ozpin assured the girl, taking a sip of his coffee. "But we need to make sure what we're dealing with. Anything could happen, whether it's an accident or otherwise." He can see where his alternate self is coming from.
"No worries, there, sir," Harry said. "I don't like using all that often. I rather like not being injured, so I usually stick to using my Aura. The only reason I didn't while in the tunnels was because I couldn't use my Semblance down there."
Ozpin hummed as he took a sip of his coffee. "So you won't tell me, then?" he asked. Harry paused and thought it over. He looked over everyone in the room and sighed.
"No, I'll tell you. I think I can trust you, Professor," Harry said. "But let's hold this off until tomorrow. After about 1:30."
Ozpin raised an eyebrow. "May I ask why, Mr. Potter?"
"Because after lunch tomorrow, I promised Pyrrha a rematch." Pyrrha looked up at that. "Plus, sir…I intend to tell Miss Rose, my team, and Ruby's and Jaune's teams as well." The nine mentioned were shocked at that.
Harry stiffen and paled, clenching his fist. Several people look at him in concern. "Harry, what's wrong?" Hermione asked in concern.
"L-Let just continue." Harry stuttered, avoiding the question. He's definitely not looking forward to this.
"Harry? Are you sure?" Weiss asked her first true friend. She knew he didn't like talking about his past.
"More like hate to." Harry muttered, still paler than usual. He doesn't any part of his past to be revealed, especially to strangers. He didn't even tell his two closest friends about his past.
"Is it wrong that I'm a little curious?" Yang asked, receiving no answer. Mainly because everyone else, even Ron and Hermione, is equally curious.
"They're bound to find out sooner or later," Harry said resignedly. "With you being so close to me, your team's bound to get curious, and I don't intend to hide it from my own team. Summer's already curious, and with Professor Ozpin and Professor Goodwitch wanting to make sure I'm not a threat, I guess this way, I can gain their trust. And JNPR…" He looked to the four members of team JNPR. "I feel I can trust them. And I owe Pyrrha an explanation for my less than stellar performance during the tournament."
"You don't owe her anything," Weiss told him. Pyrrha scowled. Yes he did!
Hermione gave Pyrrha a dirty look, making her shrink from it. "It was my other self talking." Pyrrha defended herself. She definitely didn't agree with her other is thinking. Especially hearing nic and pieces of Harry's past.
"Perhaps." Harry shrugged. "But I feel that they'll be hanging out with us a lot, so I want to get this out of the way."
Harry gritted his teeth. Those are points he can't really argue with. But still, that doesn't mean he want his past to be revealed by everyone.
Weiss sighed. If it weren't for the fact that she knew Harry was a good judge of character, she would be worried that he was too trusting. But she knew Harry was right. With his luck, it was only a matter of time when his past came out for everyone to see.
Everyone was now wondering about Harry's past. "Hey! Enough stalling!" the human nurse snapped. "Everyone make their way to a bed for your check-up! Now!"
Ron shivered. "Is every nurse as scary as madam pomphrey?"
"I think only those that have more experience in the medical field." Hermione explained. After all, they are the ones who deal with the more rowdy patients than the newer ones.
Yang turn to Spirit. "Is it possible to get a recording of this chapter?" Yang asked, with a small blush. "Or at least, a picture?" Several people guess why Yang would ask that and the girls blushed with her, some of them thinking along that line.
Spirit smirk in amusement. "Ask me after this book and I'll think about."
