Chapter 5:
Potions class
"Mr. Richards!" Snape shouted as the sound of the door opening interrupted the class causing Neville's cauldron to melt, "why are you late and limping to my class?" Snape asked as Harry tried to walk into the class.
"you see professor I found this really interesting looking creature out on the grounds, and I was following it when it suddenly disappeared, it was purple with a horn going spiral with a tail and looked like it had a nail on the end of it, I tried to chase it but couldn't find it then cam here," Harry said oblivious to the looks he's receiving.
"There is no such creature boy, now sit down you are disturbing the class and Mr. Longbottom 5 points from Gryffindor for melting a cauldron, again," Snape said unamused as Harry went and took his place next to Draco and Pansy.
"you really are mad and looney if you think you saw a creature like that" Draco sneered at Harry.
"what aunt Bella saw in you I have no idea, then again she was a touch insane," Draco said causing Pansy to laugh
'but I did see something like that' Harry thought to himself and started the forgetfulness potion.
As the lesson drew to a close Snape collected all the vials of potions with the Gryffindor's Poor unless your name was Ron Weasley then it was a Troll while Slytherins got Exceeds Expectations other than Harry who got Acceptable.
"now that all you dunderheads are finished, let's have a little quiz, no?" Snape said with a smirk and looked around the class.
"Mr. Weasley, how many porcupine quills are added to make a cure for boils?" Snape asked with a smirk while Ron went a shade of white not knowing.
"five, sir" he answered confidently.
"are you trying to blow up your cauldron or inflict pain on others, as that is the result, and you wonder why you get a Troll when you do this potion last month 10 points from Gryffindor for endangering others," Snape said with a sneer.
"Mr. Malfoy, what potion requires 4 measures of crushed bezoar and heated at medium temperature for 5 minutes?" Snape asked looking smug
"four sir" Draco answered then sneered at Harry who nodded in agreement.
"correct 10 points to Slytherin," Snape said amused.
As the class ended Gryffindor was down 40 points while Slytherin had gained 50.
As Harry entered the great hall, he saw Susan looking upset and worried with Hannah comforting her, so Harry decided to approach her cautiously remembering his earlier encounter.
"hello, miss Bones why is there a frown on your beautiful face?" Harry asked innocently with a small smile but only received a glare from Hannah and a death glare from Susan.
"oh, gee let me think, the second person to not treat me like some child savior because my mother gave her life to protect me from you-know-who is currently on ice! Plus, you keep annoying me with your carefree look and out of this world attitude, piss off Potter, oh wait you were kicked from there for practicing the magic that took my mother from me, so it's Richards now isn't it!" Susan said in a rage then realized what she said and where she said it.
This caused Harry to look hurt and down at his feet.
"no one was supposed to know, no one, I was promised" Harry muttered to himself barely audible looking angry.
"who-"
"who told you, Susan? I'm not mad at you just, just upset and hurt" harry asked gently but did not receive a response.
"Who told you? because they left out the fact that I was 6 at the time and did not know the spell was dark, I just wanted to help a hurt rabbit, its hip was bleeding and in pain Aunt Bella or Aunt Bellatrix as everyone knows her showed me how to help the rabbit to end its pain, did not tell me it was dark magic or anything" at the mention of Bellatrix's name the sound of a knife and for hitting the plate and table echoed through the hall originating at the Gryffindor table not that Harry cared.
"you want to know why I look so carefree and spaced out at times? Its because my family forced Veritaserum down my throat at the age of 7 one drop should have been fine but noooo not for the great James potter five went down and snap the crown or mind in this case, hey I made a rhyme, I'm a poet and I didn't even know it" Harry said with a smile looking to the sky of the enchanted ceiling then remembered his rant and frowned
"any way back on point, I am suffering from dark magic addiction which is an adult, not a fun thing so imagine a kid going through it add in my mind being broken it's not fun, I was going to tell you I was going to see if I could find any of Aunt Bella's books as there might be something in there but you know what I won't bother cause now everyone knows my secrets and I am most likely not going to be here tomorrow so thank you very much but who told you, I know it wasn't old goat as he was giving me a second chance, I know Rose hates me but I doubt she does that much so that leaves Sirius or James" Harry finished with a breath and slowly unclenching his hand which he did not realize had clenched to the point that he was drawing blood from his hand
"it was professor Potter, he told me to not interact with you and told me why, I didn't mean to shout it, I was annoyed and upset I didn't even tell my Aunt I'm sorry," Susan said barely louder than a whisper, hearing her response caused Harry to sigh.
"it's fine, I knew it wasn't going to stay secret and come out sooner or later, would have preferred later we defiantly would but oh well, I suppose I should go and get ready then," Harry said as he walked out of the Hall and went towards the stairs.
By the time Harry had walked up the stairs quills were out, and owls were off flying, and Rose and Dumbledore looked slightly worried while James looked smug and proud.
'now I can get rid of the stain on the potter name' he thought to himself in glee
Defenses against dark arts classroom
As Harry went into the classroom he let go of his anger and started to lash out and destroy things causing a commotion in the classroom while thinking.
Sitting in the corner of the room Harry failed to notice someone approaching him.
"hey pup, what's wrong?" Sirius asked sitting in a desk chair near Harry.
"nothing I just wanted to be alone for a moment, sorry about the mess," Harry said taking a deep breath.
"it doesn't look like nothing to me let's talk, I know I have not been the best uncle recently, so I want to apologize for it I failed to see till recently the effects that the addiction and the serum have caused," Sirius said gently and calmly.
"Thanks, it James, he told Susan about the killing curse I used on the rabbit and the people, well I don't know if he told her of the rabbit and people as she just blurted out to the whole great hall about me using it," Harry said and looked at Sirius who looked annoyed upset and shocked all in one.
"he did what? But we all promised not to tell anyone, it gives you a chance, lily is every trying to find a curse for the addiction and your mind" Sirius said which caused Harry to look up in surprise
"really? I-I thought she saw me as a burden to get rid of, especially after what happened to Rose's hand at least that what I remember hearing James saying I left not long after went into the woods to relax" Harry said and was still in a state of surprise to not register the hand on his shoulder.
"what you don't know is after you left, me and lily noticed you and argued for you with Mooney trying to be the neutral party but me, Lily and Remus agreed to find a cure, but James was not and was adamant about throwing you out the knife incident was the icing on the cake for him" Sirius explained, Harry looked up at Sirius and remembered James saying he was like his godfather, but he didn't know who his godfather was.
"uncle pads, who is my godfather, James said I am just like him, but I don't know him," Harry asked and saw Sirius's face drop.
"your godfather was a friend of ours, mine, Mooney's your dads and Lily's, we called him wormtail because he was a rat Animagus, his name was Peter Pettigrew he was the secret keeper for the Longbottom family who turned traitor and told snake face where they were he sent Bellatrix after them they are now in St mungo's hospital in the insanity ward no more the vegetables at this point with no signs of recovery from the cruciatus curse
"before breaking their minds open like eggs Frank Longbottom Neville's father, was the secret keeper for the bones family, I was for yours before you ask, and to save Neville he revealed the location of the Bones family which the dark lord went to but died to a baby as the price of her mothers love" Sirius explained hoping Harry would understand.
Looking down at his feet Harry went over all the details of the last few days in his mind closing his eyes he saw a dark foggy outline of himself in front of him.
'did I really have to freeze Hermione? She hadn't done anything to us, and we have upset Susan because of it'
'we had to did you no feel the rush that came with it'
'I did but it wasn't worth it Susan was neutral towards us Hermione tried to talk to us when she saw us, she didn't deserve it'
'she's a mudblood they all deserve it'
'no, she didn't, no, no, stop'
'remember we agreed to become stronger, better than everyone else, if that means killing some people then what's it to us, we have killed before remember that little girl we played with by the river, what was her name again? Sophie was it or Sophia?'
'stop, she was our friend till you killed her'
Opening his eyes Harry decided it was time to tell someone he trusted what has been happening.
"uncle pads, if someone is forced to do something they don't want to be it still their fault?" Harry asks shyly and quietly; a complete opposite of what Sirius has seen of Harry prior.
"it depends on what was done, if it was Sirius then partially because they are the one who was forced to do it but at the same time no because they were forced" he answered giving a questioning look.
"and- and if I wasn't in control but could still see hear and taste what was happening?" Harry asked barely a whisper.
"then no because you aren't the one in control someone else was controlling you" he answered worriedly.
"uncle pads, I think- I think I know how to cure Hermione because-" slowly taking a deep breath nervously
"-because I was the one who cursed her, but it wasn't me, it was Hadrian," Harry said not knowing how he was going to react.
Sirius took a breath in and closed his eyes thinking over what he has just been told.
"ok, let's start with the curse, what is it?" he asked calmly and slowly.
"it's a Swedish one Aunt Bella gave me a book on Swedish dark magic the letter said studying the book will help relieve some of the addiction to the dark magic and it did the spell is fasta isen the counter curse is flytande isen its just a point and jab movement" Harry explained not daring to look at Sirius.
"thank you, Harry, it was very brave of you to come and tell me this, now, who's this Hadrian you mentioned?" Sirius asked gently without any hostility
"I- the only way to describe it is that there are two of me there's me, Harry, then there is this dark black smog inside my head called Hadrian who tends to take control when I don't realize it, he's gone back to sleep at the moment though, when it first happened I panicked, I read a lot of mums books the only one that matches is a medical book on split personality disorder in the muggle section, I don't like Hadrian he-" suddenly Harry started to cry thinking about his first friend that he had met a month after Bella's lessons
"He killed my first friend, Sophia, she had hurt her ankle while we were playing in the woods and he said he knew how to help and cast the killing curse instead of helping, I'm sorry uncle, I've got to go, need to prepare for my departure because I know that owls have already flown so come tomorrow I doubt I will be allowed back, tell mum I love her for me and I'm sorry little Nat to, also tell Susan the true story not James's version of events" with a smile Harry went back down into the dungeons into his room and packed everything into his trunks.
"I need a Hogwarts elf" Harry called when suddenly one appeared.
"my name is Tipsy, sir how may I help," the little elf asked
"I was wondering if there was a room, I could hide something in to keep it safe?" harry asked the elf's ears flopped up and down for a second thinking.
"there is the room of hidden things on the seventh floor in front of the painting of the dancing elephants, walk in front of it back and forth three times thinking of the room of hidden things, and you will find it" the elf answered happily glad it could be of use.
"anything else sir?"
"no, thank you for your help" with a pop the happy elf was off, and Harry was off to the room of hidden things.
At the same time as this happening in the office of the minister of magic Cornelius fudge was in a meeting with Lucius Malfoy when an owl lands in front of him with a letter attached with a marking on the envelope showing it from his son and that it is important and decides to open it there and then to be safe.
"father,
I have just heard that the young potter male in my year was kicked from his family name and magic because he has used the killing curse when he was the age of six, I thought it important to relay this information to you, he claims to have killed a rabbit but I am sure from the looks in his eyes that he has killed people as well claims to have learned it from Auntie Bellatrix.
Sincerely
Draco"
Reading the letter Lucius couldn't help but laugh and smile, this is what he needed to bring more people over to the dark and neutral factions once they know that a purely light family has a member who has toughed the darkest of arts its perfect.
"what's the matter Lucius, is there something wrong as you don't normally open letters when we are in a meeting
"minister we have a problem; a child has been using underage magic since he was six and has cast one of the unforgivable as well so there is the chance, he has killed someone," Lucius said trying his best to frown and not smirk.
"WHAT! THAT IS PREPOSTEROUS! WHO I DEMAND TO KNOW WHO!" Fudge yelled in a rage at two laws being broken and one that is big as well
"The boy's name is Harry Potter, but he was kicked from the family by his father and is now Harry Richards" Lucius explained.
"go, get an arrest warrant and three no five Aurors he is clearly a danger he needs to be brought in and sent to Azkaban" Fudge ordered with that Lucius went down to the DMLE with a smile on his face
