[Chapter Five - Make Your Move]
That very evening Hagrid gulped as Professor Snape, McGonagall and Dumbledore looked at a very furious Dr. Strange as Harry was on his phone playing Angry Birds because who still doesn't love that game as he finished a few rounds of Amoung Us. Dr. Strange then sajd: "So Albus, when were you going to tell the Magic Council of… this plan."
Albus frowned as he said: "I assure you Doctor that if one word got out that my friend Nicholas Flamel's stone was here then everyone would come for it. But young Harry is correct, my intention was to draw the weakened dark lord out."
Harry snorted at the title and said: "He's a shame from a true dark lord is on another level."
Stephan nodded and said: "Indeed, Voldemort follows the law of magic that is part of nature, dark lords defy this by commanding legions of undead, Voldemort is no dark lord."
Albus frowned and said: "I am guessing you wish for me to hand it over?"
Dr. Strange frowned and said: "Unfortunately I can not…" Harry looked and his father said: "It is Flamel's final decision, despite my intentions and fury, he trusted you with it and thus it falls on you both. But be warned Albus, if Voldemort harms one student here for that stone, no minister would save you from the council."
Albus nodded and then Dr. Strange opened a ring portal as did his son and both stepped through it entering their respective living quarters. Hagrid then hastily apologized, but Albus raised his hand and said: It's fine Hagrid, still young Mr. Potter is very clever. Perhaps to clever "
Professor McGonagall then said: "Indeed, he is a top notch student, finishing assignments first and proceeding to help other student's. And his views on blood are changing everyone's minds."
Professor Snape nodded and said: "Indeed I noticed Malfoy and his two lackeys talk to Ms. Granger as if they are colleagues. He is bringing a storm of change. Either for the better or worse."
Albus locked his finger and frowned behind them, he thought he could mold and shape Harry, but Harry was like a dragon, he was highly intelligent, fierce and would not accept any crap. Soon it was mid november and Harry was reading a book he brought from home. A thanksgiving feast was coming as it was the twentieth, Harry was in the library with his friends, except the two minions as they went for a snack. Draco then asked: "So if you-know-who comes back… then what?"
Harry looked up from his book titled: "Maximum Ride" and he replied: "Simple, trap him in the mirror dimension for eternity or astral dimension, either or he would not be able to escape. One he would need someone to let him out, and two he would need his original body to escape and most likely he has a host so he is screwed."
Hermione then said: "Harry you shouldn't take this lightly, he was a most feared wizard."
Harry then replied: "And he failed to kill me when I was an infant, so he doesn't scare me. But enough about the supposed ghost, any ideas for Christmas break… I'm heading home and chilling with some old friends."
Hermione then said: "Spend some time with my relatives."
Harry nodded and Daphne and Draco mentioned a winter party that the noble families have and get together and talk about various dull things. Harry smirked and said: "Wondered what would happen if I showed up. After all, some of them… no offense where die hard loyalists to the faker."
Draco then said: "None taken, but that would be funny… pretty sure some would shit their pants."
The two fist bumped and Hermione sighed and said: "Going to visit some relatives on my mum's side and other relatives. And it will be boring."
Draco then said: "Still, but what if he does come back."
Harry smirked and said: "He would be after the stone obviously and it is tight under Fluffy, so he must find out how to get past him and what other traps lay beyond the dog is curious. Most likely several trustworthy teachers had a hand in it… obviously two are Professor Snape and McGonagall, but others I am lost."
The group pondered and Hermione then said: "Do you have anything about the stone?"
Harry opened his pouch and pulled out a book about the Philosopher's stones and their various creators and said: "Yes I do. Go ahead, I have a spare. Find out if there is something I missed about the stone or anything we can find useful."
She took it and began reading and he looked at Daphne and he said: "Daphne see if you can find who Dumbledore trust the most that might give us an idea of what to expect, Draco me and you are going to keep an eye of Professor Quirrell, as for Crabbe and Goyle I need those two to make sure they are our look outs."
Said duo nodded as they stuffed their faces with small cakes Harry's mother had sent such as oatmeal cream pies, zebra cakes and other snack cakes and sodas. Monday rolled around and Harry was outside under a tree snoozing with a book about potions on his face as Hermione was reading the book he gave her and she said: "Harry I found something."
He sat up and Hermione said: "It is widely known that a Philosopher Stone loses power over constant use, but studies shown the bigger the size of the stone despite its various forms of being a liquid or a solid the size will allow it to be long term as the usage shrinks. It is known that true stones are made with… human lives, but synthesis stones can be made with weaker effects that require uncommonly used. The synthesized stones can be destroyed by transmuting a few compounds within the stone, but there is a high risk the stone will become unstable and explode in a fiery inferno."
Harry nodded and said: "And look, Nikolas Flamel was one who created a Synth Philosopher's Stone. Good work Mione, now we are getting somewhere."
She smiled brightly, although this book was very uncommon in the British community it was practically a gold mine of information they needed. Soon Draco came walking up to them and said: "Hey guys, just saw Hagrid taking some geaps to the forbidden forest, I overheard him mentioning that unicorns are endangered."
Harry's face scowled and he said: "Better not be for their blood, to all magical and monster beings, drinking unicorn blood is strictly forbidden."
Soon it was thanksgiving and a grand feast was held as many students were grabbing food left and right as Harry was chowing down after playing a rematch game with Gryffindor and won by the skin of his teeth. It seems the seeker had started to play dirty and got called a few times. One more game till it was the next team and then the final team. Daphne then teased: "You starving?"
He nodded and said: "Barely won that last game despite their seeker fouling me every ten minutes."
Deaco scoffed and said: "Funny how the bloke is now not allowed in the next game."
Marcus nodded and said: "Good, next game should be pretty easy."
Harry was about to speak and froze as he felt something odd and soon he raised a shield as a blast of magic hit him and threw him against the wall. Hovering over everyone was what many guys would call a bombshell goddess with black hair with purple highlights that went down her back, green eyes garbed in a black robe outlined in silver with a large v showing off her breast and the valley as it stopped below her belly button. Black fairy-like wings had sprouted from her back and Harry said: "Morganna Le Fay, still pissed I trapped you in the ice age."
She hurled a fireball and he hurled a wordless water spell canceling it and he said: "Guess so, NIGERUNDAYO!"
He booked it as the fairy shoutedV "COME BACK HER SO I CAN STRANGLE YOU WITH YOUR INTESTINES OR YOU CAN ETERNAL SURVE ME!"
Everyone heard Harry yell: "FUCK NO, YOU ARE YANDERE CRAZY FOR MH OLD MAN AND RAPE UNDERAGE BOYS, ESPECIALLY YOU WERE TWENTY WHEN ARTHUR WAS ELEVEN AND RAPES HIM IN HIS SLEEP!"
Everyone spit and soon they saw Harry appear from a concealment spell and he said: "That ladies and gentlemen is "The Morgan Le Fay, sister and wife of King Arthur and bat shit crazy" and I mean more crazy than Beatrix Lestrange."
Everyone saw Morgan charging into the straight wall but smack dabbed into an invisible wall hard and she slid down the doorway and Harry opened a portal and she fell through and he said: "God bless Nick Fury for finishing a magic draining prison cell. And don't ask too big of an explanation and your brains will fry, let's just say she views me and my mom as a threat to be with my old man, and yes she does weap underage boys and I don't mean the way normal guys expect it."
Every male shuddered and Harry sat down. Thanksgiving passed and soon December was coming and the weather got even colder and Harry had explained the story about Morgan Le Fay to the teachers and his friends, that was three days worth of a headache. Slytherin had beaten Gryffindor again and now it was the next match. He sighed as he sat in the common room, second thing that came from the Dark realm, this time Quirrell was not responsible for this one, good thing the Minister is bloody gullible believing the evidence he had such as Merlin's testimony about her sexual preferences which made many parents furious at Morgan Le Fay. Reading one of his favorite books Maximum Ride he smiled and finished the chapter then marked it, still it shook the wizarding world to its core that the first witch was a pedophile. Soon he heard the hoots of Hedwig and she landed before him and he grabbed a letter and opened it was it was from Madam Bones as it said: "Dear Mr. Potter, do to the slight evidence and testimony as well as Mr. Strange's analysis of a cold crime scene, a private investigation regarding one Sirius Black had been approved and ordered by the Sorcerer Supreme to be out of Professor Dumnledore's and Minister Fudge's ears. Something had seemed off as no spell could destroy an entire body and killed all of those muggles. But the magic residue of Peter Pettigrew showed he escaped and records show he was an animagus, but the record was damaged slightly on what his form is. Rest assured it showed signs of sabotage and an investigation is underway as other files have been sabotaged. Sincerely, Head of the British Department of Magical Law Enforcement, Amelia Bones."
He smiled he had learned that his godfather Sirius Black may have been innocent, but this cold case is old and if Peter was still alive it may take awhile, probably in the middle of his second year something may turn up. Getting up he sent Hedwig back to his room to get some rest and headed back inside himself. Walking the large halls he bumped into someone who carried some papers. The duo hit the floor. She had strawberry blonde hair, her eyes were a walnut brown as her hair was a long plait ponytail. She had a bit of a confidence issue as well as being a bit shy and a clutz, because she was an early bloomer. Getting up he saw it was susan and he said: "Oh sorry Susan, here let me help you."
Helping her up as he grabbed her hand she blushed and stuttered out: "Thank you, and sorry Harry, Professor McGonagall wanted me to give these to the Head of my House."
He smiled and grabbed some papers: "Would you like some assistance."
She nodded stiffly and the duo walked toward the basement as it was past the kitchens and Harry said: "So Susan, how is your stay here?"
She smiled shyly and replied: "It's okay, our seeker Cedric Diggory is very helpful to us. You have to face him in the next game."
Harry smirked and said: "Tell him I'm looking forward to it."
But Susan ripped face first and her butt was high in the air and yet her skirt was raised for Harry to see enough and halted. Susan had gone commando, quickly looking away as she sat on her ass and he used wingardium Leviosa to gather up the papers for her and he said with a weak blush: "Here you are."
She said meekly: "Thank you, did you…" he stayed silent and she turned scarlet red and he said: "I am not saying a word about it, I promise, but please do remember your underwear, less if someone else saw."
She nodded and said: "I know, but I had no clean ones."
Harry was glad they were alone and made it to the basement and sat the papers down as one of her doormates came by and he said: "I'll see ya around sometime Susan, and please be careful and mindful of your surroundings."
She nodded and as he walked away a third year said: "So hanging with the Prince of Slytherin."
Susan blushed and Harry groaned, he heard some of the girls call him that as he was a gentleman and kind. Once out of earshot he rubbed his temples, he was flashed by a you girl, a young girl who will be a massive knock out one day. He then heard: "Not bad of keeping a secret about Susan's "accidentally" habit, she does that once a month."
Looking around he saw leaning on a window was Numphadora Tonks, she is a young witch with a pale heart-shaped face and dark twinkling eyes. She typically kept her hair short and spiky, and often bubblegum-pink and had a petite amazonian figure. He knew Dumbledore tasked her with keeping an eye on him as she was a metamorphmagus witch, meaning she can shape-shift. She hated the nymphadora as it sounded offly close like Nympho as she was a bit rebellious and laidback, and flirtatious. Pinching his nose he said: "What Nymph, I have places to be."
She had a blank face, Harry preferred the half of her name but she was slightly aggravated by it. She then said: "Look you better keep her secret…" he raised his hand and said: "I will, but she better hope no one else finds out. She already screams sheltered innocent spoiled princess vibes, what would happen if one of the most perverted upper class males found out, just keep an eye on her "
He then walked away without a care in the world. He stopped and heard a buzzing sound as he was just ten feet from the Slytherin door, he turned and aimed his wand casted the light spell and was Wong. Harry tilted his head and said: "Wong, what are you doing here."
Je held a package and said: "Your mother asked me to deliver this, after Morganna reared her crazy head she had me sent over your magical artifact."
It was a case, a flat rectangular case, popping it opened he smirked. The blade was 27" long, and including the handle reached 36.5 inches in length. The handle extends about 6.5 inches up along the blade above the guard, which is a very unusual design for a sword. The idea was to make a sword so that someone could reach forward and hold the blade above the guard. In any case, the design gives a unique and very interesting look to the sword and makes one wonder whether it really was designed by the inhabitants of ancient Atlantis. The sword also has runic hieroglyphs carved along its blade, the runes were basically giving the blade water, wind, and electric properties depending on the element he chose, he could have the sword produce ice using both wind and water.
This was the sword of Conan, a blade that could harm any pseudo immortal being as it was forged by the Atlanteans to fight against Set and his children. And now it was in the house of serpents, the blade quiver and Harry shrunk it down. Wong then said: "Keep it always at hand Harry, never know when magic may fall."
Harry nodded and said: "Thank god for Thor, Captain and Logan's sword lessons."
But soon enough days passed and Christmas was coming. One morning in mid-December, Hogwarts woke to find itself covered in several feet of snow. The lake froze solid and the Weasley twins were punished for bewitching several snowballs so that they followed Quirrell around, bouncing off the back of his turban. The few owls that managed to battle their way through the stormy sky to deliver mail had to be nursed back to health by Hagrid before they could fly off again. Thankfully only Hedgwig was unaffected as Barry went back to texting with severe weather conditions and Hedwig enjoyed being by the fire with her master and enjoyed their reading time. No one could wait for the holidays to start.
While the Slytherin common room and the Great Hall had roaring fires, the drafty corridors had become icy and a bitter wind rattled the windows in the classrooms. Worst of all were Professor Snape's classes down in the dungeons, where their breath rose in a mist before them and they kept as close as possible to their hot cauldrons.
"I do feel so sorry," said Draco Malfoy, one Potions class, "for all those people who have to stay at Hogwarts for Christmas."
Harry nodded and hlad his folks when meeting him back at the train station. But Harry, who was measuring out the powdered spine of the lionfish, ignored the heated glass of Ron as Harry and his brothers pranked him by putting spiders in his uniform causing him to piss himself. He did feel kinda sad about Fred and George trapped with their dumbass of a brother all winter break. When they left the dungeons at the end of Potions, they found a large fir tree blocking the corridor ahead. Two enormous feet sticking out at the bottom and a loud puffing sound told them that Hagrid was behind it.
"Hi, Hagrid, want any help?" Ron asked, sticking his head through the branches.
"Would you mind moving out of the way?" came Malfoy's cold drawl from behind them. "Are you trying to earn some extra money, Weasley? Hoping to be a gamekeeper yourself when you leave Hogwarts, I suppose -- that hut of Hagrid's must seem like a palace compared to what your family's used to."
Before Ron could lunge at Draco Harry intervened and said: "Okay enough, Draco that stepped over the line, the Weasleys contributed more than enough during the wars to help end them. And Ron you need to learn to cool it, now drop it and let's be on our merry way."
Ron scowled and turned away and Snape came up and said: "Excellent work Potter for diffusing the situation. And Draco be mindful."
Draco nodded as he and their group walked away and Harry said: "See you later Hagrid."
Walking off the group entered the library for a chat and Harry said: "Any updates?"
Everyone shook their heads and said: "None."
Harry tisked and said: "Damn, okay we'll pick back up after the holidays. We are running ragged and it is not helping us, also I've noticed the Weasel and his group looking into the stone as well and overheard them believing it is Snape, and somehow they dragged Neville into it."
The group frowned, Neville had serious social and will issues and to be the weasle and his hoons person punching bag was an annoyance. Crabbe and Goyle were reading a book about basic wand movements and Daphne asked: "Still, what if our paths crossed?"
Harry then said: "Leave that to me, I think I know how to deal with the weasel and get him off our case though."
All looked confused by this and continued listening onward. Harry pulled out his phone snowing a video of Ron Weasley for who he really was and all smirked seeing this. After lunch, Harry showed the evidence of Ron to Professor McGonagall who was absolutely furious in all forms at seeing the treatment of Neville. She thanked Harry for bringing this to his attention and had Seamus, Ron and Dran brought before her as the trio were planning on finding information about Nikolas Flamel and had given them punishment by helping Filch clean the school till the students came back without magic. Harry's group was laughing at this, and both Fred and George had already sent letters back home, Molly Weasley was very displeased and furious, if by the yeller cursing up a storm. By the end of the school semester everyone who planned on leaving arrived and was piling in, thankfully a little over twenty students remained so there was a bit more elbow room.
Finding a private as Crabbe and Goyle went off somewhere else with Draco to talk with some of the other Slytherins about the noble families gathering, Harry, Hermione and Daphne sat together as Hermione was reading, Daphne was brushing her hair and Harry was snoozing. By disk they had arrived back in London and Harry smiled as he rolled his shoulders and had his pouch which stored everything except Hedwig as he held her in her cage. Disembarking Harry had Hermione close by as the others rushed to their families, spotting Neville he gave him a nod and he nodded back, seeing the others he waved and they waved back. But Draco's mother asked: "Who was that Draco?"
The slytherin parents looked and Draco said: "That was Harry Potter, mum."
Said adults froze hearing that name and Crabbe's father asked with a scowl: "And pray do yell, what house he is in?"
His son replied: "Slytherin, father. In Fact he is our seeker and has won us three games against Gryffindor and showed he has his own views about the blood system."
Daphne nodded and said: "He calls muggleborns, New-bloods and for right reasons, all witches and wizards no matter what came from a magicalless man and woman."
Goyle snickered and said: "Not to mention he drives the youngest Weasley bonkers by calling him a Weasel."
Said adults snorted at that. Once breaking off and returning home, they told their parents all about what Harry is to the school and how being raised by the Sorcerer Supreme puts him in a league of his own. As for Harry it was late afternoon in the states and emerging from his poetal Harry yawned and let Hedwig fly around to get use to the house and soon walking from a hall was Clea and she smiled and said: "Hey sweetie, back for the holidays."
Nodding his head he said: "Yeah, just glad I have no school work."
