Later that night, Harry went off to bed with the rest of the Slytherins, retiring to their rooms.
In his room, Harry greeted the painting "hi" and proceeded to go down the revealed hall to the fossil room deep in the caverns of the castle.
Reading further in the book "Religions of Hurt", Harry makes his way to another chapter labelled "Envy: Gravity".
"Envy is like metaphysical gravity. It tears people down but also provides cohesion. Like gravity, it is also a two way street, where on one end you can envy others, and the other end you can inspire envy.
Increasing your envy of others metaphysically irons you, like the core of the Earth, while decreasing your envy of others wings you.
Inspiring others to envy you enflames you, while decreasing inspiration to envy you shrinks you.
There are four combinations, winged and shrunk, winged and enflamed, ironed and enflamed, and ironed and shrunk.
The armies of Mordor are ironed and shrunk, they envy others while not inspiring envy from others. Sauron envy others, and inspires envy from others due to his power. He is ironed and enflamed.
There is also a balroq, deep underground, which envies no one, but inspires envy. He is winged and enflamed, but is slowly turning to iron.
The way to inspire envy is to do well, well the way to decrease your inspiration of envy is to do poorly.
The way to envy others is to obsess on their advantages, while the way to decrease your envy of others is to obsess over their disadvantages.
Pick any combination of envy that you want."
Harry put down the book, and went back to a table that showed a map of the world. But this was no ordinary map, as it showed people walking and sitting down. And most people had a link, a color, for each named religious figure they believed in. None had the link to Harry, not even any of his friends.
Harry traced the outline of a pale blue link, that of the virgin Mary, and traced it as it went up into the void. "That will soon change" he muttered.
Harry then muttered "where is this balroq, the book speaks of."
The map shimmered, and then changed, showing a roughly square shaped land surrounded by sea. A spiny ridge of mountains separated the land near the middle, while a fortress of mountain ranges sat in the bottom corner.
The map showed a deep, dark red in the ridge of mountains, where a deep red link hovered over the most miserable looking creatures.
Deep underground, the links disappeared into the void. "The balroq" Harry muttered. He is believed in.
The balroq hides, to decrease the proof in him, to increase the faith in him.
"That is they way" intoned Harry.
Harry then meandered off down the hall, past fossilized remains of dinosaurs stuck in the rock of the wall, and to his bed chamber.
Early in the morning, Harry went up to Professor Snape, the professor that handed out his schedules yesterday.
Harry waited patiently, but to no avail, as the professor kept on slowing down his work, so that he would never finish as long as Harry was present.
Harry coughed, the professor spoke "two points from Slytherin for bad hygiene. What can I do for you today, Mr. Potter."
"Right, I was thinking, maybe I shouldn't be at Hogwarts" "fascinating" "maybe I should instead learn at home or be tutored or something."
"Ohhh, so Hogwarts isn't good enough."
"Well, I was thinking, maybe there should be more faith in a student's ability to self learn. To not have to get a qualification from the Ministry. To be more focused on magic."
"You will stay in Hogwarts, as much as some may want you to leave, until your seventh year."
"And what happens if I fail all the finals."
Professor Snape just looked angry. "I will kill your ego myself."
"Right, nice talk" and Harry turned around and left.
Muttering under his breath, Harry said "there is a difference between faith and expectation. I need my followers to have faith in me, and not expectations. But can I fail?"
Harry walked back over to Draco. "Did you release the new religious documents upon the muggle world."
"Yes, it should show up on people's computers randomly, as well as appear in some pews across the globe."
Harry slumped down on the table. It was the first day, but still he was disappointed.
"It is just so complicated. How can you inspire faith from others, but not expectation."
"Perhaps if we just copy the other go..."
"I'm already doing that. I replaced all their names, remember."
"I mean, not like that, but copy, but not. To do what they do, but with your spin on it."
Here Harry sighed "have you even read those books?"
"Well, no, I just spelled in your name."
"Its filled with hardship. There must be a , wait a minute, I just need to find poor, destitute groups enduring a hardship, and reinforce the hardship as a god to give them unity. Thanks Draco, that is a great idea."
"Naturally, I am a Malfoy."
