Reading Ch 08: Harry's Past II Part 4

Everyone was startled at the movement, and some moved for their weapons on instinct, but a cracking caught their attentions. Their eyes widened as many of the glass surfaces and windows were cracked badly! Ozpin had even noticed his and Glynda's glasses were not unaffected. His eyes were wide.

'How much power does that boy have?' Glynda and Ozpin thought as they watch/read the scene.

'I didn't think Mr. Potter is that strong.' Mcgonagall thought as she watches the scene.

Harry stood glaring at Blake. "You want to know how I know?" he asked quietly, but it carried around the room, making everyone stiffen. Weiss sucked in her breath. "It's because those monsters…No they weren't even fit for such a title…Those Grimm in human form proved they didn't care if you were Muggleborn, Halfblood, or had Creature blood. If you didn't fit in their mold, you were scum. Garbage. Filth that needed to be disposed of."

Everyone stiffen at the tone in his voice. He sounds absolutely terrifying, even the adults are a bit scared at this.

Despite no air coming into her lungs, Blake listen to his every word. She couldn't tune him out or turn away.

Blake struggled in his grip, but still listened to his every word. He held her attention so easily, she couldn't turn away or tune him out. Harry smiled at her, a wild, vicious smile that truly made look like a wolf.

Or worse. A Grimm.

"Okay, I'm truly scared now." Jaune said, a bit pale at the smile he's seeing. "Anyone else is?" A few hands were raised. "Good, it's not just me."

"My fifth year at Hogwarts," he said casually, but his tone said what he was about to say was anything but, "the Minister of Magic, in an effort to discredit me, sent his Under Secretary to teach DADA. Dolores Umbridge. She couldn't teach to save her life, of course, but the Ministry thought that children didn't need to know how to defend themselves because the Ministry would protect them, happily skipping over the fact they were always sticking their heads in the sand when something went wrong." Ozpin, Summer, and Glynda scowled at that.

As did the two professors of Beacon reading this. "How on earth did that woman got that job if this is true?" Glynda asked, staring at Mcgonagall.

The aged witch looked down. "We had a lot of trouble finding a good Defense teacher during the years. So, the Ministry got involved, and there was nothing Dumbledore and I could do about it."

Harry scoffed at that, gaining the professor's attention. "Yeah, nothing you could do about it." He mumbled bitterly. "And yet Dumbledore portray himself as a powerful leader of the light. If he so powerful, why couldn't he stop Umbridge from basically ruling the school in tyranny?"

Mcgonagall frown, but didn't say anything. Mainly because she has no answer to that, or at least one that would satisfy Harry.

"But back to the matter at hand, this woman, a toad in all but DNA, and an absolute monstrosity in pink," Nora suddenly had the sudden desire to change her skirt color,

"Agreed other me," Nora gagged.

"portrayed herself as a super sweet woman. But in reality, she was the most prejudiced, most sadistic, and absolute worst human being I've ever met, which is saying a lot. I've met Voldemort and his right hand woman.

Yang wanted to ask what Harry meant by that, but a look from Glynda told her differently, since her partner was still suffocating. The blonde shut her mouth and stayed quiet.

"She loved torturing Muggleborn and Halfblood students for stupid and unreasonable reasons." Glynda and Summer growled while Ozpin frowned angrily. "Her favorite torture was watching these students write in their own blood."

Everyone gasped at this; even Ozpin and Glynda didn't even attempt to hide it.

Everyone reading except Harry, Spirit, Hermione, and Ron gasped as well, and Ozpin stopped reading for a moment.

"WHAT THE HELL?!" Yang shouted, her eyes blood red. "WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THIS WOMAN?!"

"She was a sadistic demon," Hermione hissed. "That's what."

McGonagall was chalk white. Ozpin suddenly realized that Blake was still struggling for air, and went back to reading.

"There's a specific item in the Wizarding World, called a Blood Quill. It's only used in business transactions, specifically when it revolves around the Gringotts bank. It uses your blood as the ink and used to seal contracts. It's Blood Magic, forbidden for damn good reasons. When using a Blood Quill, whatever you're writing, shows up on one of your hands." Everyone looked sick at that.

McGonagall flinched and retreated more into her seat.

"One day, this second year student, nice kid, Muggleborn, loved magic, accidently bumped into Umbridge in the Halls. He apologized, but she gave him a detention anyway." The adults were steaming, and the others were growling. "He was handed a Blood Quill and told to write, 'Mudbloods should watch where they are going at all times' until it sinks in." The three teams paled; the adults were shocked beyond belief. "He wrote that twenty-five times, before he passed out from blood loss." He looked to everyone and smiled darkly. "The worst part? She didn't care. She left him there on the floor of her office, drinking her tea as he bled out for a good thirty minutes. When she finally did take him to the infirmary, she dragged him. She levitated him enough where only his head was touching the ground. Then she THREW him into the infirmary. He had to be transferred to St. Mungo's, the wizarding hospital, and even then, he barely made it."

The room become a warzone as Ozpin and Glynda lost control of their semblances. Loose furniture flew around the room as distortions in the air appeared around Ozpin. The teens were shocked and had to duck for cover as furniture exploded around the room. McGonagall ducked down as well, nearly forgetting that she didn't have her wand to cast a shield spell to defend everyone. Luckily, Spirit cast a shield to protect the others in the room.

But just as suddenly as it happened, the room calmed. Ozpin took a deep breath as he picked the book back up, intent on helping Ms. Belladonna, even if he knew he was getting angry. Spirit look at him cautiously before evaporating the shield, and put everything back in order while everyone return to their seats, slowly.

"...Ok, I'm officially scared of Professor Ozpin now," Weiss whimpered. Her team and JNPR nodded in agreement. They had NEVER seen him that angry before.

Suddenly, the room became chaos. The three adults were apocalyptic. Summer lost control of her Semblance, causing the wind in the office to whirl around violently. It rammed against the ruined windows, nearly destroying them. Glynda's eyes glowed as several loose objects around the room began hovering, some even flew into the walls and shattered. Even Ozpin, with his iron clad control over his Semblance, was not unaffected. Several distortions appeared around the room, showing he had lost some control. His face was one of rage.

The teens were no better. The accents on Adam's outfit glowed brightly as a vicious snarl escaped his lips. Lily's fists were clenched tightly as her bones cracked loudly; her eyes were flashing green. Isabella was growling as her Aura whipped around her. Nora was fury incarnate. Lightning discharged off her form viciously as she gritted her teeth. Jaune was angry as well. His body glowed white as his Aura spike dangerously. Ren was scowling, but his shaking form showed him containing his anger.

Pyrrha glared at the window furiously as the clock parts shifted in place. Ruby's face was one of fury as the glass below her feet began cracking, rose petals flowed around her in a whirlwind as tears fell freely from her eyes. Yang's eyes were blood red as flames danced around her head, raising the temperature of the room. Weiss glared at a spot on the ceiling, but she kept her head. She had already heard this, but it didn't make it easier.

The members of RWBY and JNPR felt the anger, sadness, and pain of their others race through their veins like an enraged virus. Their Aura responded and flared dangerously as the Golden Trio just watched the reactions, slightly impassive, but mainly fearful.

"...That was just terrifying," Ron muttered. Harry and Hermione nodded.

Blake was in shock. She had stopped struggling and stared at Harry, trying to find any form of lie. But she couldn't find any.

Blake, still struggling for air, spared a glance over at Harry. She saw the same thing her other was most likely seeing.

Harry smiled at her again, this time it was much less dark, and let her go. She fell to the floor gasping.

Blake also felt the pressure letting go, making gulp in a large amount of air quickly. Ozpin sighed in relief, though the anger is still there.

"Would you like to continue Ms. Belladonna?" Ozpin asked politely. A part of Blake is attempted to say no, but she nodded. She needs to read this in her own eyes. So she grab the book and started back reading.

Harry then gently helped her to her feet. "That kid got off lucky," he told her as he took her hand and placed it on the back of his left hand. "Feel."

Blake did as she was instructed. She felt scars on his hand. Absently, she traced them as she looked at them. Her eyes widened.

'I must not tell lies.'

Harry moved her other fingers to his palm, and she noted in shock that there were scars there too. She traced them with her index, her stomach plummeting.

'I must not tell lies.'

Harry flinch, rubbing the scars in his hand while his friends look at alarm and angered at this. "You got permanent scars from that?" Hermione asked Harry, scowling. "Why didn't you tell us?"

"Like you said, I needed to keep my head down." Harry said, causing Hermione to flinch a little.

"Umbridge didn't like that I insisted Voldemort had returned," Harry said. "The Ministry didn't want to believe it, so they swept it under the rug, hoping it would go away. But I wouldn't let it die. So, I had to write this phrase in every detention I got from her. I wrote this fifty times a day, sometimes for five days a week."

Everyone except the Golden Trio and Spirit paled at that, especially Mcgonagall. "B-b-but your other said that the boy passed out."

"He did." Harry confirmed. "Umbridge just hates me more." He would've pointed out the scars, but he knows his other will.

Everyone paled at that. Ruby spluttered. "B-b-b-but you said that kid nearly bled out with twenty-five!"

"He did," Harry confirmed. "Umbridge just hated me more." He looked at Blake and said, "I wrote that so many times, that as you can see," he held his palm up, "the words bled through."

Nearly everyone look horrified and sickened by this. To make a fifteen year old boy write a phrase fifty times a day, all because of fear….it sounds like something that came from a horror movie.

"How did you not pass out from the blood loss?" Weiss manage to say. "The child did so after twenty five. You did twice as much almost every day."

"And didn't you come to me about this?" Mcgonagall asked quietly, a bit hesitant to ask. "Why didn't any of the students? I would've stopped her."

"Would you?" Harry asked with a raised eyebrow. "Most of the student body, except Slytherin, have dealt with abuse by Snape. While Umbridge is crueler, and even more horrible in teaching, it likes dealing with Snape. Gritting your teeth and dealing with it."

Mcgonagall felt sick. If what Mr. Potter said is true….then Hogwarts really do need drastic changes.

"As for how I didn't pass out from blood loss," Harry continued, looking at Weiss. "My other will explain it."

Everyone was horrified. "H-how did…" Isabella gulped. "How did you not pass out from blood loss? You said that kid did after only twenty-five…"

Harry grinned bitterly again. "Because I'm damn good…at enduring," he told her. "Because I knew if I passed out…She would have won. I wasn't going to let her win. Just like I didn't want the Dursleys to win if I broke under their 'care.' I've always endured. I've persevered."

'Endure. Preserve. Survive.' Harry thought, clenching his fist. Those are the three things he mainly thought his whole life. Even his Hogwarts, he kept those principles.

Meanwhile, everyone is staring at him with several emotions. Anger at those who made him suffer, sadness for what he suffered, respect that he stay good after enduring all that, and for Mcgonagall and Blake, guilt. Those are only the few emotions they're feeling.

Everyone stared at him with a mix of emotions. Harry sighed. "Professor Ozpin," he said tiredly, "I think we're good for now. This endeavor has worn me out. If you still have questions, I'll be…somewhere. I need to let off some steam."

Ozpin nodded. "Of course." He needed to digest what he had just heard and witnessed. "The code for your team's room was sent to your Scroll last night. As well as your room number."

Harry nodded gratefully. He turned to his team and said, "I'll meet you guys at the dorm room. I just need to cool off a bit."

They nodded slowly. Harry sighed and waved his wand. Everything in the office instantly repaired itself. For everyone watching, it was like watching someone push the rewind button on a car crash, watching everything return to its pristine condition. Everyone watched in amazement.

Mcgonagall's eyes widen at this. 'Mr. Potter has gotten extremely good in his use of magic.' Mcgonagall thought in amazement. She wonder why he didn't show that much skill during Hogwarts.

She look towards Harry, who still looks angry. It best not to bother him about this right now. It's not the most important thing at the moment.

Harry pocketed his wand and walked to the elevators. Hedwig flew after him, landing on his shoulder. He walked in, and the doors closed behind him. The office was appallingly quiet. Ozpin looked around at the shocked teens and sighed wearingly. "I think…that we should all get some fresh air as well," he told them. "Summer, if you could stay behind for a moment. We have some issue we need to discuss."

The more logical members of the two teams narrowed their eyes at Ozpin. What does Ozpin want to discuss?

His tone made the more analytical members of the teams narrowed their eyes. Summer scowled at the tone as well, but nodded anyway. "Yeah, sure," she mumbled. She looked to Ruby and Yang and said, "I'll see you two in a few minutes, 'kay?"

Ruby nodded, her eyes still watering. "Okay." Yang frowned slightly, but nodded as well. The elevator dinged. Lily sighed.

"There's our ride."

With Harry

Harry walked through one of the gardens that were situated around Beacon. Hedwig nudged him gently. He looked at her and smiled softly. "I'm ok, girl," he said. "I'm just…irritated is all." He stroked her feathers. "I just need to cool off. My emotions were riding too high to deal with a girl who's too bias for her own good. You know how bad my past is." Hedwig cooed.

Blake flinch at the angry glares or disappointed stares sent her way. "You'll need to apologize, you know." Yang whispered to her partner.

Blake nodded, looking down. She didn't say anything else though, lost in thought.

In Headmaster Ozpin's office

Ozpin frowned at the elevator door as it shut. "That power…That…magic…" Ozpin murmured. "It's almost like that of the Maidens…"

"Wait, the Maidens?" Blake stopped reading, and look at the book with narrowed eyes. Then she turn to Ozpin and Glynda. "Are you talking about the Maidens from the legend? And how did you know how it felt?"

Ozpin sighed, feeling a bit frustrated that a well kept secret is being exposed like this. "It's not something we need to discuss now Blake." Ozpin said firmly. "Right now, let's continue reading."

Blake narrowed her eyes, but nodded and continue reading. The others felt suspicious as well.

Summer scoffed. "I think Harry's magic is far more powerful than the Maidens, Oz," she said. "If only because of the training he's had in it. Not to mention he said he believed he was capable of performing a curse that can rip a person's soul from their bodies."

Glynda nodded in agreement. "His power is astonishing. You all felt it, right? How it pulsed when he went at Miss Belladonna?"

"It was almost exactly similar to the Maiden's power," Summer described. "I felt it like a wave washing over me." She sighed unhappily. "And what's worse, I think it effected Yang to an extent. The Maiden's power is waking up."

"Wait, what?!" Was what everyone shouted.

Ozpin look at Yang in barely concealed shock, who look equally shock. "She's a Maiden?!"

Spirit laughed a little. "Not in your dimension Ozpin, no. As for as I know, at least. But in this one, it seems that she is."

"Another change in this dimension and ours." Glynda murmured, though everyone heard it.

"Wait? Miss Xiao Long?" Ozpin asked incredulously. "She's a Maiden?!" Summer nodded. "How?!"

Summer sighed again. "At some point in the tunnels," she explained. "I…I got bit by a Death Eater." Ozpin and Glynda paled. "I honestly thought I was dead. I…I remember dying. I felt the power of the Summer Maiden leave me. I know I died."

"So in this dimension, Summer is a Maiden?" Ozpin asked, to which Spirit nodded. "Interesting."

Blake look at Ozpin and Glynda with suspicion. Even though they are equally shock at hearing that Yang is a Maiden, they still seem to be hiding something about the Maidens. Are they more than just fairy tales?

Meanwhile, Yang and Ruby flinch at the sentence. Even though their mother is already dead, it still hurt to think about that.

She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. "The next thing I remember after blacking out, was…someone…hovering above me. I couldn't make out anything about this person. All I could make out was a colorless blur. Even their voice was warped. I remember hearing this person say that they were extracting the venom…that I needed to hold on." She shook her head. "When I was finally coherent, a few days later, the person was gone, and the only thing that told me someone had really been there and it wasn't my imagination, was this."

She reached into her vest and pulled out a ring. It was in the likeness of a snake with topaz eyes, wrapping around itself. She placed it on the table. "Someone saved me that day," she concluded.

"Did you ever find this person?" Glynda asked.

"No. It was like they vanished. I couldn't find a trace of them."

Ozpin picked up the ring and examined it in scrutiny. "And you were thinking of Miss Xiao Long when this happened?" he asked.

Summer sighed. "I don't remember who I was thinking of. The pain was so unbearable," she confessed. "I knew it was either Ruby or Yang, but who was the last I thought of escaped me. It was when I was in the infirmary with them that I suspected it was Yang. Here just a few moments ago confirmed it. My little Sun Dragon is the new Summer Maiden," she said miserably.

Yang look a bit stun. "So my other is a Maiden." Then she grinned widely. "How cool is that?!"

Glynda and Ozpin look at one another. If only she knows how dangerous being one really is.

"What is a Maiden?" Hermione asked, curious about this. Harry, Ron, and Mcgonagall seems equally curious. "Are they magic users like us?"

Ozpin nodded. "In a way, yes. They come from a fairy tale, where basically one man gave four young women powers beyond anybody in Remnant."

"And they are real in this dimension." Harry said. He narrow his eyes at Ozpin. "Are they real in yours?"

Ozpin avoided the question. "Like I said, they are a legend and fairy tale. Let's continue shall we?" Harry sighed. Even in Remnant, there are those who kept secrets from the public.

Glynda cursed. "This is bad," she summed up. "Two Maidens under the same roof."

"Two?!" The young aura users shouted while Ozpin nearly curse the person who made this book. He doesn't want anyone else to know about this unless they need to.

"Wait? Two? You found another?!" Summer asked.

Ozpin nodded. "Amber. She's the Fall Maiden, but she was attacked, and now in comatose in the Vault," he said. "Her power was somehow taken from her, but Qrow was able to save her just before she lost all of it."

"Uncle Qrow?" Ruby and Yang said in shock before looking at Ozpin. Yang spoke up. "Is that part true?" Blake, Weiss, and Team JNPR look equally curious.

Ozpin and Glynda look at one another, wondering if they should say this. Spirit then spoke up. "If you don't tell them, they most likely ask me. So it's probably better to tell them now." Ozpin sigh at this, but it seems he have little options.

"Yes, the Maidens do exist." Ozpin told them, shocking the two teams. "And the woman, Amber, is real in our world, and is currently in the same state as this Amber."

"Why didn't you tell the citizens about this?" Weiss asked, wondering why something like this is kept secret. "And who else knows?"

"Myself, Glynda, Ironwood, and Qrow are the only ones alive that know of the Maiden's existence." Ozpin told her, and some look surprise that the Headmaster of Atlas is involved. "As for why we kept it secret, it's because there are those who would want to use the Maiden's powers for their own. You heard the state Amber is in."

That wiped the suspicion off of Harry. That's a pretty good reason, compared to reasons why the Ministry hide stuff. Also Dumbledore as well.

Summer growled. "You know I hate that damn place, Oz."

"It's the only place she's safe," Ozpin explained. "The person who attacked her is still out there. Anywhere else would have been too high-risk. You know this."

"Still doesn't mean I have to like it," she spat.

"What do we do now?" Glynda asked. "With Amber in comatose, Miss Xiao Long's status might cause Amber's attacker to come after her should Miss Xiao Long exhibit her powers." Summer paled at that.

Yang grin. "Let them try. I'll give them a taste of my fists."

"You forgot that that the attacker is someone who's probably stronger and has more experience in fighting, if the fact that he/she manage to defeat a Maiden." Hermione said before looking at Ozpin for confirmation about his statement. He nodded. "Not to mention that she got some of that power in her."

Yang frown, but Hermione continued. "Don't take this lightly. You're other may be in some serious danger, if that power shows up more."

"For now, we wait," Ozpin told them. "Right now, Miss Xiao Long hasn't manifested the Maiden's powers yet, so she is safe for the moment." The two women looked at him, not really liking the plan, but nodded anyway. "Also, let's keep an eye on Mr. Potter."

"Why?" Harry asked, his suspicion fueling up again. His experience with adults didn't lead him to be so trustworthy.

"I'm sure my other has a good reason." Ozpin said in reassurance.

"Why?" Glynda asked.

"It's just a hunch," Ozpin explained. "But I think that he could help us greatly in our struggles. He might even have a way to save Amber."

Hermione and Ron chuckled. "Look like you're gonna be sucked into another conflict." Hermione teased, with Ron agreeing.

"Yay." Harry mumbled, still angry about all of this. The two frown at his tone, concerned.

Glynda nodded. She knew how much Amber's attack hurt the man. He couldn't stand seeing children hurt.

"There's something else," Summer announced, getting their attention. "When I was in the tunnels, I…I think I found the ruins of Old Vale." The two professors' eyes widened. "The problem is…an extremely large Death Eater's blocking the way. I think she's like the queen or something." She shivered. "And another problem is you have to fall down this large pit to get there."

Ozpin turn to Spirit. "I'm guessing it's another event different from ours?"

"As far as I know." Spirit said with a shrug. He doesn't even know if there is an Old Vale. Ah, the been of writing stories of an ongoing series.

Ozpin stared at Summer in shock. "Are you sure?"

Summer looked at the headmaster of Beacon. "No. I can't be sure. I only got a small look at it before Big Bitch came out of nowhere and tried to eat me."

"Do you know what means…?" Glynda asked.

"It means that if we can prove the ruins are of Old Vale, we might find out the secret to why Grimm are plaguing our land," Ozpin finished. He looked to Summer and asked, "What would it take to get you to agree to become the new Combat Instructor here at Beacon?"

"Mom might become our others' combat instructors?" Ruby said in excitement and envy. Now she's really jealous of her other!

However, her excitement was extinguished when Harry suddenly got up and quickly left the room. Spirit sighed as he heard a door slamming shut. "Rooms are where Harry just went. We'll have to wait while Harry cools down, and I think all of you want to process all of the information given."

Being reminded of what they heard in the book brought back the emotions in all of them, and everyone took the offer of going in the other rooms. Team RWBY and JNPR went into rooms with their own team while Glynda, Ozpin, Hermione, and Ron went into separate rooms.

And that's the end. I hope I portrayed enough emotion in here. Had to get some help from Dragon again in order to do it. Again, make sure to check out my new stories. I'm sure you won't regret it. Review, favorite, and follow and I will see you later.
