The next several days passed very quietly. Umbridge didn't push Harry in any way and even canceled the rest of the detentions he had with her. Harry enjoyed the extra time working on his homework and studying the extra books he had picked up. He also worked off and on with Hermione trying to get her to learn the ancient magic's he knew but she was struggling with those.
Halloween was quickly approaching and Harry had been helping Ginny learn the seeker position for the Gryffindor quidditch team since he had been right about his size causing problems. He glanced around the classroom and headed down for breakfast. The news in the prophet had been getting interesting and he was wondering what would be shown this day.
Over the last month or so prominent purebloods had been going missing and many people were getting worried about it. Really he hoped Ghirahim was going to reveal a body of one of his targets soon with the dark mark visible so most people would figure out that it was death eaters being targeted.
He sat at the Gryffindor table and glanced around seeing a few people looking towards the head table and frowning. Harry glanced up and saw Umbridge talking to a couple of wizards he did not recognize.
"Hermione, who are they?" Harry asked as he kept looking up at the table. He suspected he knew who they were and was actually surprised it took so long for them to show up. He also wondered if they would attempt something on him like veritaserum which he knew would still cause him some serious issues due to things. Then again maybe he would be able to control his words enough that he'd reply in Gerudo. He chuckled at the thought and what the wizards' faces would be.
"They are Aurors Harry they've been called in to search for a dark creature that Umbridge apparently saw." Hermione explained looking at Harry suspiciously as he nodded slowly.
"What I had a feeling that's what they were but wanted confirmation." Harry responded with a shrug as the two people spread out from the head table. Harry went back to eating ignoring what was going on.
The Aurors stopped by Luna causing Harry to stop eating and start to pay attention again. They nodded to the girl as they talked then walked towards Draco. They paused next to the boy and talked to him for a few minutes. They left Draco and Harry stiffened knowing they were approaching him next. He watched as they paused next to him.
"Mr. Potter you will be coming with us after breakfast. We need to speak with you on what is going on within the school." One of the Aurors stated. Harry nodded slowly in agreement and groaned softly in annoyance. Really what were they going to do arrest them or him. He frowned then groaned with a realization that they probably would if they were Aurors close to the minister.
"Harry are you sure everything is going to be alright?" Hermione asked her face showing a bit of worry about the two Aurors. Harry shrugged before smirking a bit and chuckling darkly. Harry placed a hand on Hermione's shoulder and nodded to the two.
"Don't worry even if they arrest me I refuse to end up in Azkaban." He said very softly causing both his friends to look up at him in shock and a bit of fear. Harry tried to smile comfortingly to his friend as he stood and walked towards the Great Hall doors and nodded to the two Aurors. He noticed Luna and Draco soon joining them.
Harry nodded to Luna and chuckled at how much larger he was to both the one time Hylians. He chuckled again and shook his head. It was fun especially to menace Draco though he would prefer if the boy was awake. He had noticed that there was more green appearing in the boy's clothes though. The Aurors motioned the three to follow them and Harry walked along casually easily keeping up with the group.
Soon they entered a room off of a hallway that wasn't presently being used for a class. Harry glanced around noticing the Luna was frowning in a form of worry. Draco was just smirking with his usual confidence.
"Should not our head of houses be here for our questioning as they would be considered our guardians while within the school?" Harry asked causing Luna to instantly relax a bit. He chuckled noticing that and shook his head. The Aurors frowned at him obviously not happy with his words.
"Do all of you agree with Mr. Potter's request?" One of the Aurors asked with a sneer. Harry gave the man a deadpanned look as Luna smiled.
"I would prefer to have my Head of House here when you ask me your questions." Luna said softly as she kept smiling. Draco released a huff and leaned against a wall. Then nodded.
"It would be best to have them with us." He confirmed. Harry smirked a bit and chuckled as he watched one of the Aurors leave to go speak with their heads of house. Harry nodded then moved to lean against one wall. Really he would not risk himself at the hands of these Aurors. He smirked as the other Auror returned with the three Heads of houses.
"Thank you for coming Professors," Harry said with a grin. He could see the irritation on the two Auror's faces.
"You are welcome Mr. Potter it is only right for you to have an adult around when being questioned." She said as the two male professors's kept their eyes on the two Aurors.
"We have questions that only you three seem capable of answering and relate to at least two of you." One of the Aurors stated causing the three to nod and wait for them to start.
"Mr. Potter there is a creature within the castle that calls you master what is it?" One asked. Harry blinked then shrugged a bit at the question.
"Please, you think I actually know this creature? I have no idea what it is or who." Harry stated causing Draco to frown at Harry surprised at how straight and bald-faced of a lie Harry was giving. They frown and narrow their eyes at Harry.
"According to others that is not true, since it attacked Mr. Malfoy here and you had to tell it to leave him alone." The other Auror exclaimed. Harry rolled his eyes at that then looked at Malfoy.
"And it didn't really listen to me. It still messed with him for a minute I don't control it. It is just causing trouble." Harry said. One held up a sheet of paper and smirked.
"Well, we have permission to use Veritaserum if we deem it necessary." One of the Aurors growled. Harry blinked then shook his head a moment.
"You do know I can not take Veritaserum, Umbridge knows this as she was at the questioning when it was proven." Harry stated causing Luna to giggle and smile softly.
"I am allergic. It is within my medical information." Luna told them as they then looked at Draco. Draco shrugged and smirked a bit.
"Try it on me and my father will show you all what it means to get on his wrong side." Draco snarled. Harry shook his head and looked at Draco with disappointment. Really the boy relied on his family name far too much. He frowned and thought on the two previous incarnations he had faced of Link. He frowned deeper in thought as he tried to remember what the other two had had for family.
"Harry don't worry your mind about the differences. It's because of how the motion of this time happened. Things will even out." Luna said causing Draco to look at the two of them and Huff irritably. Harry chuckled and smirked a bit his eyes dancing in dark amusement.
"So are you going to try and give us that or do we get to go over things as best we can?" Harry asked the Aurors. The Aurors looked at the moment that they were constipated causing all three students to chuckle softly.
"The minister obviously doesn't trust his more intelligent Aurors on this mission, but then again the more intelligent ones are not blindly loyal to the minister's office are they?" Luna asked smiling softly causing both Aurors to growl in anger. All three students looked at them calmly waiting on what would happen next.
"Now Luna insulting the Molduga baliika* is not going to speed today up at all." Harry said. Both Aurors looked even more confused as they looked at each other then at Harry frowning.
"Whatever you were saying we request immediately that you speak only in English." They growled causing Harry to smirk a bit. He looked at the two before shaking his head some more.
"So you can't even take the time to learn a second language no wonder the ministry is going to the dogs. You lot have no concept of communication skills. You are to busy having your heads up the minister's ass." Harry growled causing the Aurors to move as though to draw their wands and attack Harry. Harry watched the Aurors prepared to have to face them if necessary in a fight.
"Mr. Potter if you continue to insult and treat us like we are worthless at our jobs we will arrest you for interference with an investigation." One growled twitching. Harry looked at the Auror before rolling his eyes a bit.
"Fine fine. The ministry would have been better sending an unspeakable though since they would understand better what is going on. Then again that wouldn't play into the ministers or Umbridge's plans." Harry growled back his eyes narrowed on the two Aurors. He watched as both Aurors shook in rage at his words and grinned a bit. Oh, this was going to be fun maybe they would actually attack him letting him really let go for a bit.
"Harry sit down and shut up this is not the time for you to let some aggression out." Luna said as the Aurors still seemed ready to attack. Harry looked at Luna and actually started to pout which he knew would look silly with his present appearance but he didn't care. He wanted a fight and until Draco woke up he wouldn't get a truly decent one on one spar.
"So you claim that you have no control of this creature that calls you it's master and claims you have nothing to do with it haunting this school?" One Auror asked trying to get things back on track. He could feel the threat in the air and like most cowards was trying to defuse it.
"Well, then what you guys should be doing is trying to catch this creature to question it shouldn't you?" Draco suggested to the Aurors like they were stupid causing both Harry and Luna to stare at him in surprise. Draco looked at the two of them and rolled his eyes already being bored. Harry smirked at the other boy before glancing again at the Aurors.
"Fine but this is not the end of it!" They growled and left as Harry turned and nodded to the three teachers with a smile.
"Thank you for being here. They may have tried something worse if you hadn't been here." Harry said being polite to all three teachers even if one of them he didn't personally like.
"It was no problem, Mr. Potter. I am just glad you and the others are okay and they didn't decide to ignore your request to have us here." Professor McGonagall said as they prepared to go back into the halls of the school. Harry looked at Draco once more who was staring down at his hands in confusion.
"Their resonating. Guess we are to close at the moment." Harry chuckled before following the teachers into the hall and away from the other two though he paused by the door.
"Why do you trust him… You shouldn't." Draco said to Luna as Harry listened from outside the room.
"Because I know what is going on while you don't. I look forward to once you are awake though Chosen of Farore." Luna replied as she turned and left the room. Harry looked at her with a raised eyebrow.
"And you say I am too forward to him." He chuckled out shaking his head causing Luna to smile softly and shrug.
"In a very different way Dragmire. Now excuse me I would like to see the rest of my classes." Luna said as she stood straight and moved in an I'm more important than you motion. Causing Harry to shake his head and laugh.
"Princess that walk does not look right on you." He said before walking away still smirking. Really sometimes the little Hylian princess was trying far too hard sometimes. Then again normally he would never see this side of her. His smile faded with that thought and he sighed softly. So much damaged and changed all because of the twins that raised him.
He froze seeing Umbridge standing in the hall heading into the Gryffindor common room. He frowned at the woman who narrowed her eyes at him. He smirked at her and paused next to the Fat Lady's portrait before looking at her again.
"That was a good try, but maybe you should have a bit more intelligence in your goons." Harry said before whispering the password for the common room and walking into it. He glanced back and saw Umbridge's face being bright red so smirked again.
"You will learn Mr. Potter to obey the ministries laws and desires." Umbridge growled. Harry smirked a bit then released a dark menacing cackle causing the toad-like woman to back away from him.
"You have no idea what I have seen or faced in my life Umbridge, your threats are nothing your ministry couldn't do anything to me I haven't faced before." Harry stated with a laugh and smirked.
"You have no idea what will happen to you, Mr. Potter!" Umbridge snarled and moved forward causing Harry to fully turn and face her. He looked down into her eyes his yellow ones narrowed as he shook his head slowly.
"You are the one who has no idea, Madam. I have seen and been through things your Ministry would break under I have been a nightmare and I have been a blessing. I wish I could just have peace at this point but you people just won't leave me be." Harry snarled his eyes glowing gold. He moved a step closer to Umbridge causing her to back into the wall.
"Mr. Potter stop this acting out at once." Umbridge stated trying to look imposing even though her terror at Harry's actions was obvious. Harry just smirked then turned and walked into the common room totally ignoring the woman as she collapsed in relief at his leaving.
Harry hurried up to his room to gather his stuff. There was a lot to do to finish this day off. He had some classes to go to which he kind of wanted to skip but knew this wasn't the time. Especially with the help the teachers had just given him and the others. He moved and grabbed his books for the rest of the classes then headed out to rejoin the school population grinning once he saw that Umbridge had left the area.
Harry sighed and shifted he was getting antsy. If he had been around other Gerudo there would have been at least one maybe more spars. He grumbled with frustration desiring some form of spar as his need for a physical outlet was getting worse. If he had been in a muggle school at least there would have been a gym class or sports teams he would still be able to be part of. He grumbled as Hermione looked up seeing him approaching and frowned.
"What is wrong Harry?" She asked drawing Harry's attention. He grumbled again and shook his head a bit.
"I need to let some steam off. I need to physically spar someone or tear something apart but no one here could handle that!" Harry snapped irritably. Hermione blinked took a step back then shook her head a moment.
"Then why not go outside run around the lake?" Hermione suggested as Ron frowned then looked at Harry.
"Or if you really want a physical fight you could talk to the demon lord." Ron suggested quietly once he glanced around to be sure no one was too close to hear. Harry froze then groaned softly. Really both answers were so obvious why hadn't he already thought of it himself. He looked at the two before slowly shaking his head.
"I feel like a fool, I have made such complex plans and almost taken over an entire kingdom before yet the most obvious answers I keep missing." Harry growled at himself with his frustration, causing both Ron and Hermione to laugh softly. Harry did is best to pout at his friends even as he knew it didn't look as good as it used to before his physical changes.
"Harry sometimes especially if what you just said is right about your planning, it means you likely miss the simpler answers to things." Ron stated then laughed again. "You used to miss the complex stuff now if we play wizard's chess you'll miss the more basic moves." Harry groaned at Ron's explanation, but as he thought on it he recognized it to be very true.
"Oh shut it, Ron." Harry growled and gently bumped his friend in a joking manner. Hermione laughed a bit as slowly Harry and Ron slowly joined her and grinned. They continued through the day Harry struggling to keep his control till after dinner where he planned to speak with Ghirahim for some help on relaxing. A good duel would truly help him get a bit more control.
The day finished and everyone was gathered for dinner. He was still feeling antsy but the plan was getting him very hyped. Soon he would get some of this aggression out. He grinned almost bloodthirstily at the thought. He ate quickly as he planned and hoped Ghirahim would agree to help him out with a spar. His friends laughed softly at his actions knowing his plans at this point.
"Harry you need to calm down or Professor Umbridge is going to notice." Hermione warned Harry. Harry took a deep breath and shut his eyes. He took several deep breaths thinking on his training when he was a child. The mock battles with his sisters. Slowly he smiled as his arms and hands twitched with the remembered movements.
"I'm doing my best Hermione, but it's not easy. I never really realized how much I needed to fight someone. Well, I had a bit of an idea just now how much it was affecting me." Harry admitted softly. His friends both laughed and shook their heads. Dessert showed up on the table which Harry ate quickly then nodded to his friends before heading for the door of the Great Hall.
