Harry returned to the common room after his detention with a groan. He felt worn out and stiff. It was the first time he felt like his strength had been pushed far more than normal. He groaned and stumbled up the stairs heading for bed. He glanced around the room with a groan trying to decide if he should take a hot shower to relax his muscles before crashing or immediately crash into bed.
He looked back and forth with a groan before moving slowly into the dorm's bathroom and starts a really hot shower. He muttered wishing he had access to the prefect's bathroom again so he could take a long soak. Of course, he had no chance at doing that now what with Filch probably watching for him. He climbed into the stall and groaned as the hot water coursed down his shoulders and back.
Harry started to allow his eyes to droop as he started to tilt his mind slowly sliding into a desire to sleep. He stumbled and bumped into the wall of the stall then groaned and stopped the water drying off before stumbling into bed and passing out rapidly.
The morning slowly arrived and Harry awoke with a groan. He glanced around and stretches slowly. He still felt stiff from the night before but that would be fine as it was not as bad as when he had gotten in last night. He got out of bed and without much thought started to do some stretches he remembered from long ago. He felt his body loosening and groaned in pure relief.
He moved over to Ron's bed and reached out to wake the other boy. Breakfast was something he was deeply craving and he wasn't leaving Ron to sleep through the day. He watched as Ron groaned and shook his head a moment.
"Ron get up. It's breakfast time."Harry said from where he was standing and watched as Ron rolled over obviously being stubborn about getting up. Harry frowned and glared at the boy in thought really he should just leave him to miss breakfast.
"Ron breakfast is about to be finished." Harry said next to Ron and watched the boy leap up with a yelp and look around in panic as he leaped out of the bed. Ron grabbed wildly at his clothing as Harry started to laugh and grin at Ron's reaction. Ron slowly turned to face Harry who was laughing then started to look around the dorm room and noticed the others only just starting to stir.
"Harry, what was that about?" Ron asked in a deadly calm voice. Harry just looked calmly at Ron a slight smirk on his lips.
"You were refusing to get up and if you are not up before me you will sleep the entire day away so I had to make sure you were up." Harry explained with a careless shrug. Ron growled at Harry but didn't argue the boy's points. Harry just smirked and pushed Ron to get ready as he himself did. Once both were ready they headed down to the common room both knowing Hermione would probably already be down there at one of the tables reading.
They walked down the stairs into the common room Harry having his bag and then jumped up in thought of possibly getting the pencils and notebooks today. That would also mean attempted to translate his book to English for Hermione. Instantly he groaned realizing what a pain that was going to end up being. They spotted Hermione reading at one of the tables and walked over to her.
Harry looked down at what she was reading an image in the book catching his attention. He stared for a moment and just before she could flip the page over grabbed the book from her to look closer at the image. Hermione leaped and looked up at Harry they over to Ron who shrugged shocked at Harry's reaction.
"Harry, what is wrong with you? You could have damaged the book!" Hermione cried out causing Harry to look over at her then at the image again shaking her a bit and trying to control his breathing.
"Hermione what is this image of and how old are we talking here?" Harry asked desperation tinting his voice. Hermione blinked and glanced at the book, then Harry wondering about the desperation.
"Harry it's the wizarding take on the tribe known as Amazons. A group of all female warriors that would take men only in order to have children. Both Wizards and Muggles have stories of them. There are no sightings at least not since before Hogwarts was made." Hermione explained watching as Harry set the book down and just kept staring at the image in longing.
"Hermione… they look like the Gerudo, my tribe." Harry stated as he ran a hand over one of the women in the image her dark skin and pointed but beautiful form obvious. He noticed both his friends looking at him in shock.
"Harry? Explain please." Hermione requested. Harry nodded and sighed trying to figure out how to describe the Gerudo in terms she would accept especially since they never seem to lose their appearance over time or at least didn't.
"Look at the image Hermione, remember what I told you about them." Harry pointed out. Hermione blinked and looked at the image before gasping. She looked at Harry then the image again a few times as she connected the dots of what Harry was saying.
"They do look like what you said, but that would mean they might still exist and if one of the races do…" Hermione trailed off as Harry nodded staring at the image again.
"The others might too. Dang it, I need to actually sit down and talk with the damned Hylian Princess." Harry muttered and leaned back rubbing his face. He then looked sadly at the image. "They would never accept me back even if they were still alive I did so many terrible actions."
"Harry leave the past behind you. Concentrate on the here and now instead. You have other things to deal with first before you even think of looking for traces of your original race." Hermione pointed out.
"Yeah, I guess I should. Damn it why is this so hard, oh wait... Those twins that called themselves my mother encouraged me to just take what I wanted and ignore the consequences." Harry muttered as Hermione groaned a bit then reached up and smacked the back of Harry's head before putting her stuff away.
"We are going to go get food, then if there is time before classes you mister are going to talk to the headmaster about help in learning control of your emotions." Hermione snapped glaring at Harry. Harry nodded at this with a soft groan.
"Yes, fine I will." Harry grumbled and got up heading for the door to get breakfast. The other two rapidly followed after him. He walked down and frowned wondering what could help him with his need for control. He sighed and stiffened in surprise as Hermione came up behind him and hugged him tightly.
"Harry we will always be here for you. Don't fret so much please?" Hermione said as she hugged him. Harry allowed a gentle smile onto his lips at Hermione's words before nodding slowly.
"I know Hermione but it is good to hear you say that. Just wish I could do more for you." Harry admitted softly causing Hermione to look up in surprise.
"You don't need to do anything for us, Harry. All we need is your friendship which we already have." Ron stated as he smiled at his friend. Harry smiled slowly and nodded before continuing on his way to get breakfast. They sat down together and Harry blinked seeing the twins sit across from the three of them.
"What do you two want?" Harry asked suspiciously, as he gathered food and placed it onto his plate. The twins just grinned a bit and shrugged. Harry narrowed his eyes at the two then glanced around the Gryffindor table.
"We just wanted to ask if you had found any other interesting rooms like that one filled with musical instruments." One said while the other nodded as Harry started to eat all his instincts screaming to be on high alert. He stiffened as he felt shifting around him and narrowed his eyes at the twins as snickers and laughter started around him. Slowly he looked down at himself only to blink a few times before looking at the twins unimpressed.
"Really this is what you try? The style and color are completely wrong. A ballerina tutu is far more appropriate for a small body type, and the neon orange and bright green so conflict with my present skin and eye colors let alone my red hair. A better choice would be a light pink if you wanted to go really girly otherwise earthy tones." Harry started to lecture the twins causing them to stare in pure shock as Harry gave them full on tips and coordination tips seeming to be fully unconcerned about the transformed clothing.
Harry continued his lecture to the twins causing more and more people to stare at Harry. Several looked at each other in shock at how completely calm he was in this almost to tiny women's costume. He leaned back and continued to eat his arms and chest on far greater display than ever before. Several of the girls around the hall seems to almost start looking at his muscles with desire only now realizing how built Harry was.
"Mr. Potter, what are you doing out of school uniform?" Came an overly sweet and irritating voice from behind them making the twins wince. Harry calmly turned his head to see the toad behind him.
"Never seen someone be the subject of a prank before Professor?" Harry asked sarcastically in reply. Really the woman was so irritating. She continued to glare at Harry as he looked at her calmly as though with no worry.
"Mr. Potter I suggest you stop lying and revert this inappropriate wear back into your school robes." Umbridge growled. Harry slowly stood and looked dryly at Umbridge before rolling his eyes. He lifted one hand deciding to show off a bit like the demon lord would gathering his magic snapped his fingers only to hear everyone around him gasp and Umbridge to back away. He blinked a few times confused his eyes stopping on Draco who seemed to of paled a few extra shades and go into an almost fully defensive position.
"Mr. Potter, that is not School Robes what do you plan to do attack everyone here?" Umbridge yelped causing Harry to blink then look down at himself. He chuckled darkly seeing the dark armor wrapped around his body. Lifting an arm he looked it over before letting out a soft chuckle.
"Forgot how comfortable it is to be in armor." He muttered and watched Umbridge's face pale at his words. He groaned a bit at her reaction rolling his eyes. He glanced over and Draco again who was unconsciously moving to be halfway between him and Luna. He moved as though to charge at the other boy causing him to stiffen a bit and the mark on his left hand flickered a moment. Harry then nodded before sighing and releasing another bit of magic reverting the clothes back into his school robes. "I apologize I didn't concentrate properly when attempting to revert my clothing to what they should have been."
"Even more proof that you did it on purpose, Mr. Potter. Let's add three more detentions to your list Hmm?" Umbridge stated before walking away. Harry growled his yellow eyes narrowing towards the woman.
"Deishi'rah Caniitash*" Harry growled at Umbridge's back as Draco slowly returned to the Slytherin table his face covered in confusion. Harry sat down the twins having lowered their heads a bit.
"Sorry Harry we didn't think she'd take our prank out on you." they said together. Harry waved his hand casually and smiled at the twins.
"If it wasn't that it would have been something else you two. She is gunning for me worse than Snape on his worst days." Harry explained. He went back to eating pretty sure that the magic in the food couldn't affect him any longer. Harry glanced over and Luna and saw her glaring at him again. He just shrugged at her and smirked a bit. Really could she truly blame him for messing with Draco? He wasn't about to tell the boy what was going on. He knew better than that. Didn't mean he couldn't mess with the other boy and maybe it would stop him from being such a spoilt rich boy which so did not fit the chosen of Farore.
"Harry, what is with Draco? He keeps trying to stop you from talking with Luna." Hermione asked having noticed Draco's reactions to Harry a few times now. Harry groaned and rubbed at his face a bit.
"That has a lot to do with the past lives. Draco is the reincarnation of the hero who stopped or killed me multiple times." Harry whispered to the two of them. He watched as Ron nearly fell off the bench in shock hearing Harry's words.
"What?" Ron cried out as Hermione looks at Draco and then Harry then back at Draco in pure shock. She blinks a few times then glances at Ron before looking at Harry again.
"Are you kidding Harry?" Hermione exclaimed. Harry chuckled at his friend's reactions before slowly nodding and leaning back a bit with a smirk.
"Positive. I look forward to when he truly wakes up. It should be so amusing a reaction for him." Harry chuckled still smirking. Hermione glanced once more at Draco before shaking her head a bit. Ron just frowned and glanced at Draco then looked at Harry.
"How can he have been a hero?" Ron asked confused as Draco was the exact opposite of what he would expect for a born hero.
"It is odd, but then he seems to have been born in the exact opposite situation he ever had been before. Actually, all of us did when I think about it." Harry said and frowned wondering what caused them to be born into the families they had been this time around. Really it was strange this life he was born to an actual couple who were happily married according to any information he can find. Last life he was born to a single Gerudo who decided to have a child so found someone to lay with only to be killed then he was found by the twins he had considered his mothers till they betrayed him. He released an unconscious growl thinking about the twins again.
"Harry you okay there?" Hermione asked noticing the growl. Harry looked at his breakfast plate before nodding and taking a long deep breath. He smiled at Hermione and finished eating.
"Yeah just getting lost in the past again. It's odd how easy it is to do that. Then again I am dealing with 15 years of memories in this life and trying to place and deal with 25 or so years of memories from my previous life." Harry groaned and rubbed his face. Hermione blinked a few times then shook her head.
"You were only 25 when you died in your last life?" Hermione asked appalled at how young he had been last time around. Harry chuckled and shook his head.
"Hermione you have no idea all I had done in that time let alone how evil I had become due to the influence of the thing that had been placed within me." Harry replied with a frown. Really things were steadily getting more confusing as he tries to deal with the past and present. Harry finished eating then stood and smiled at his friends again.
"I probably will never fully understand but that doesn't mean I won't try." Hermione said softly. Harry smiled at her and nodded. Ron caught up but kept looking at Draco as they walked along. Harry noticing rolled his eyes before lightly slapping the back of Ron's head. The three walked into the halls to head for the classes of the day. It would be a toad-free day for his friends even if he had detention with her at the end of the day.
"So how bad are her detentions mate?" Ron asked thinking about the fact Harry still had so many detentions with her. He frowned and glanced at his friends. He slowly shook his head in worry as he thought on the detentions he has had with her.
"Don't risk getting detention with her. Especially you Hermione. She will take advantage of your weak political positions to use what I am sure are illegal items on you." Harry said and watched as Hermione became angry at just the thought of it and shook her head.
"She really is a terrible person isn't she?" Hermione asked mostly to herself. Harry smiled and wrapped an arm around her gently. He just worked on leading her towards the classes with a grin.
"We can't stop her yet, but I have many plans in the work that will slowly destroy her." Harry admitted softly. Hermione blinked and narrowed her eyes at Harry.
"What are you planning Harry cause if you get yourself arrested I'm gonna do something to you and I'm not sure what." Hermione growled causing Harry to grin a bit.
"Hermione I'm smarter than that. In neither life was I ever really dumb. I may not be book smart but I'm not dumb." Harry pointed out with a chuckle. Hermione frowned and narrowed her eyes at Harry.
"She will try to find a way to get you anyways. Especially if she feels threatened." Hermione stated. Harry just smirked as he entered the Transfiguration classroom. He went and sat down in the usual seats that they took in this class. Harry blinked as a book appeared in front of him. The other two looked at the book in surprise then glanced at Harry. Harry started to glance at the book then grinned brightly as he placed it into his bag. Hermione blinked a few times as Ron frowned.
"Harry, what was that?" Hermione asked causing Harry to laugh a bit.
"When I stayed after class for a moment I asked Professor McGonagall for information of the laws and how to of performing the Animagus transformation." Harry explained softly. Hermione blinked a few times then laughed and nodded.
"Well, at least you are looking into the laws first." Hermione stated as Harry grinned a bit. He was planning to go through with it no matter what but he did want to know what the laws around it were so he could avoid getting in trouble for it. He smiled as Hermione kept looking at his bag in curiosity.
"Yes, I will let you look at it, Hermione. I am not about to stop you from seeing a book." Harry laughed as he watched Hermione blush violently at his words. Really she was to easy to read when it came to Knowledge. The class passed with Harry being a bit bored and somewhat annoyed at the class.
"Mr. Potter I would like to speak with you if you will come up here for a moment." The professor called about halfway through the class. Harry groaned knowing it would be about his enthusiasm or rather a lack of it for the class. Harry walked over as she looked at him.
"You have lost most interest why?" McGonagall asked softly. Harry rubbed at his face a bit then took a slow deep breath.
"It has to do with my past life. The thought of turning something alive into something that is not or the opposite goes against all the rules of nature I was taught in that life and the reason behind it." Harry murmured and tapped the symbol on his hand.
"I see but inanimate to inanimate and animate to animate are still okay in your mind?" the professor asked. Harry nodded and she nodded then motioned him to head back to his chair with a frown, as the class ended Harry headed out with his friends wondering what McGonagall had planned with his admittance to issues with transfiguration.
