Chapter 5: The Sorting
Regular
radio/telepathy
It was the next morning that the large Family went to the train station most of them in civilian clothes well except for Battery and Firebreak then soon enough the group made it to the middle of 9 and 10 and thanking Minerva Mcgonagall they walked through the gate way and soon enough Harry was on the train waiting for it to leave with Firepaws mech inside a case beside him
"Hey Harry how long do I have to watch through your eyes" Firepaw asked and for a moment Harry looked back into his mind's room and saw Firepaw there staring back at him
"I don't know just wait a bit Firepaw" Harry said before going back out of his mind and then almost minutes later the cabin door opened
"Huh hey do you mind if I sit in here" a red head said looking around the cabin this just caused Harry to shrug
"Sure I don't mind names Harry by the way" Harry said and after the other kid had sat down he introduced himself
"Ron" Ron said looking around and quickly attempting to pick up his chest and put it on the overhang
"Here let me help with that" Harry said before walking forward and lifting up the chest with ease before placing it up on the rack
"Wow how did you do that" Ron asked looking at Harry in awe
"My adopted family is in the military so I usually have to train and learn to fight a lot" Harry said and it was the truth he just didn't add the fact that he also had Robotic arms or the fact that the training was in his mind
"So are you a muggleborn then" Ron asked sitting down and at Harry's confused glance
"Oh I mean your family doesn't have any magic" Ron asked and Harry shook his head
"No my adopted family doesn't but I'm told that my parents were amazing Wizard and Witch although I never really met them seeing as they're dead so" Harry said this caused Ron to look down
"Oh uh sorry" Ron said looking anywhere but at Harry
"Hey it's not your fault but I don't really know a lot about this magical world so maybe you can help me with that" Harry said and Ron thought about that
"Okay I guess so What do you know about the wizarding world" Ron asked looking over at Harry
"Well I know that you guys security stinks first off heck my family used a common program on the internet that anyone can get to and found Hogwarts instantly" Harry said but he quickly realized Ron hadn't got any of that
"How about a deal I'll explain Non magic customs to you and you can tell me magic customs" Harry said only to be interrupted by the door opening and on the other side was the blonde boy Draco Malfoy
"So is it true you are Harry Potter" Draco asked looking straight at Harry this also caused Ron to look up in surprise
"Heh I guess that could still be my name but I'm thinking it might have changed heh so I'd just call me Specialist first recruit Harry or just Harry" Harry said smirking and doing a fake salute this just caused the two guys to look at each other in confusion although Draco quickly changed his expression when he noticed that Ron had the same expression but then all of them heard a yelp and looking out the door they all saw a girl with bushy brown hair staring at Harry with wide eyes
"Oh my god one of the actual Specialists" the girl said before shaking her head
"Uh hey I'm Hermione Granger" Hermione said and instantly Harry reached out his hand and shook her hand
"Specialist first recruit Harry Potter glad to meet you" Harry said smirking and he quickly realized that the girl in front of him knew what she had just shook wasn't skin and bone
"Well it's somewhat a good thing to have someone else that knows about what exactly my job is" Harry said nodding over to the still confused guys behind him
"Huh I guess I can take that as a compliment but I didn't expect a specialist to also be a wizard" Hermione said with her head tilted
"Wait doesn't magic destroy Tech, huh I mean Muggle tech" Hermione said and Harry shrugged
"Yeah but military grade tech is built with Emp defense especially on the inside and also most of are tech are overpowered anyway so all magic will do is just give us a bit of a boost" Harry said and this caused Hermione to nod before she seemed to realize something
"Oh hey have any of you seen a toad a boy named Neville lost his" Hermione asked and it took a bit but both Draco and Ron came out of there stupers from wondering what language they had been speaking
"Hum nope haven't seen any toads" Draco said shrugging for once not acting like a bit of a prick
"Huh I haven't either" Ron said still surprised about whatever they had been talking about
"Well I haven't either but I think I do have a way of helping you find the toad" Harry said moving over to his chest
"Finally your letting me out and don't you dare put me back in there" Firepaw all of a sudden said before he started scratching away on the inside of the chest this surprised everyone but Harry who just shook his head
"Uh stop moaning Firepaw besides I thought you were supposed to be recharging your mech" Harry said opening the chest and letting Firepaw's body come jumping out and when the other's saw the robotic cat all of there eyes widened in surprise even more so when they watched as his metal mouth opened a bit
"So do you have anything I can use to track the toad" Firepaw asked and it was Hermione that unfroze first
"Wow an actual mech although I didn't know the Specialist's were working with AI other than of course Reaper" Hermione said looking Firepaw over before she paused
"And I am pretty surprised they chose the name Firepaw from the Warrior series although it is somewhat of a good choice" Hermione said before she pet Firepaw well tried to but even still Firepaw gave her a bit of a purr
"Well I'm starting to like this one Harry" Firepaw said this just caused Harry to shake his head
"Well first off the Specialist's didn't make him I actually did on accident" Harry said this just caused Firepaw to hiss
"Uh yeah you almost literally pulled me out of the book" Firepaw said this caused Hermione to smirk at the knowledge
"Well then Firepaw should be able to help us out" Hermione said and quickly she lead Harry who had put Firepaw on his shoulder as he followed her leaving the two Wizards who were both staring at where Firepaw had been
Back with Harry and Hermione
It wasn't long before the pair found Neville and after he had gotten over the metal cat he had given them his toad, Trevor's cage and after getting a bit of a riff of the smell Firepaw was soon moving through the carriage's passing by several students who stopped and stared a bit at the mechanical cat being followed by two Muggle raised students and a nervous pure blood although none stopped them and soon enough Firepaw stopped outside the girls bathroom
"Uhh okay are you certain this Toad's a boy because by his scent he's in the girls bathroom" Firepaw said this caused both Harry and Neville to turn to Hermione who just blinked
"Wait why am I supposed to be the only one to get the Toad why can't firepaw" Hermione said looking back and forth between the boy's
"Uhh I'm a guy so I can't go in there I'm not perverted" Firepaw hissed and moved away from the door before they all watched as his green cat eyes changed to brown
"Okay this has been funny to watch but I think I'll help you guys out here" a female voice said from the mech and both Neville and Hermione jumped at the new voice and only Harry recognized the voice
"Really Aunt Outrider using my own mech" Harry said this just caused Outrider to tilt the mechs head
"Hmm well I couldn't really let my kit go of to some place where I can't watch him" Outrider said before she headed into the girls bathroom
"So your aunt can control your pet cat's body" Neville asked staring
"Heh that's not very hard to do I can do that as well heck I wouldn't be at all surprised if" Harry paused suddenly and for just a second both Neville and Hermione saw his eyes go dark before the went back to a bright green and a smile and a laugh escaped harry
"Seriously you guys I can't leave five minutes without you guys watching my every move" Harry said shaking his head mostly because unknown to his two new friends he had just went into his mind's room only to find the entire Specialist team watching everything that happened through his eyes
"Well we do want to learn about this new wizarding world as well" Battary said smirking this just caused Harry to roll his eyes
"What is it Harry" Hermione asked before she watched shocked as Harry pulled out a cell phone and started a game
"Huh oh it's nothing just my family being a bit overprotective" Harry said while playing Fnaf on his phone
"Darn it Bonnie stop moving all over the place" Harry said trying to click the darn blue bunny's nose
"What are you doing" Neville asked looking over Harry's shoulder only to stare at the image on the screen
"Just playing a game, it's muggle tech although this one is pretty" Harry was saying before a screech went off from the phone causing Neville to jump back when Bonnie's face appeared on the screen
"Scary seriously Bon that's the third time" Harry said before he heard the lady's room door opening and they watched as the cat mech left the room with a frog in it's mouth
"You know it is very lucky that the scientist's added a turn off switch for the taste buds" Outrider said as she handed Neville's toad and quickly he put it back in it's cage
"Well that's not the only thing we should thank them for" Harry said turning off his phone before letting Outrider move the mech till she could jump up on Harry's shoulder then they all followed Hermione to her compartment passing the compartment Harry had been in to grab Harry's chest while the two guys were still in shock and still was even after they left and soon enough the small group of three was seating in Hermione's compartment talking and finally Harry was able to get someone with common knowledge of being a wizard to help him out
"So what's the Wizarding government like" Harry asked before he tapped morse code to his family to record this
"Well the only government here is the Ministry which is controlled by the Minister and all of the heads of house's Mine and yours included" Neville said this caused Harry to go wide eyed a bit before he smirked
"So I technically have a say in Wizarding government hmm" Harry said smirking but he was soon shot down
"Nope all the members of the Ministry has to be at least 17 years old before they can take their seat and seeing as your parents are dead then a reserve would have been appointed by the Chief Warlock who has had that title for 50 years" Neville said this caused Harry and his family to freeze
"So wait they let a government official both run the highest rating in the government and run a school that's just asking for trouble" Harry said surprising Neville and causing Hermione to nod somewhat
"But Dumbledore was the one to destroy Gellert Grindelwald a dark wizard from before you know who that actually helped start world war two" Neville said and for a moment both Hermione and Neville would have swore that a spark had popped from both Harry and his cat mech
"You're telling me that a wizard helped keep WW2 going so long and how is this not on every no magic news" Harry asked looking at Neville
"Simple Muggles aren't supposed to know about the wizarding world so whenever one finds out they Obliviate them" Neville said and both Hermione and Harry gave eachother a look
"Whats Obliviate sounds a bit to close to destroy in my books" Harry said but Neville was quickly shaking his head
"No the spell Obliviate just erases memories" Neville said and the room went eerily quiet before all of the Specialist's started yelling at the same time as Harry's cat mech shut down from overload and both Harry and Hermione started yelling
"What Wizards can erase memories do you know what that could cause in the muggle world heck I'd be surprised if some of those people lose their jobs because they forgot something although I can also think of the uses of such a spell" Harry said looking at both sides along with his uncle Prophet who was thinking of ways to both protect them from this and use it while Hermione was just staring at Neville in surprise although Neville was looking shocked as well by their responses
"Well we will just have to come back to that later I think we're getting close to Hogwarts" Harry said this snapped the other two out of there thoughts and instantly Harry and Neville found themselves outside of the compartment while Hermione changed although she did miss Harry using his scanners to put on his robes over his regular clothes this just caused Neville to go into even more shock so it took a bit for the wizard raised boy to get his robes on then all of them heard the whistle and with Harry's mech cat strapped back inside his chest Harry and the two first years walked out only to find a large man leading a large group of first years to a boat and as soon as the three friends had sat down in there own boat they had found to there surprise Draco Malfoy joining them staring at Harry
"Okay first of what was that and second what is the specialists" Drago asked and this just caused Harry to smirk
"For the first question that was a mech it's basically an empty body till someone or something is placed inside of it while the Specialists are a commando group of soldier that were put together from all over the world to try and help stop terrorist attacks and wars from breaking out" Harry said and the answer didn't seem to help Draco and Harry knew why
"Yeah if there ever comes someone like Voldemort again it would be the Specialists job to hunt and kill him with effective measures" Harry said with a almost feral grin but that slipped of his face when he spotted Hogwarts and he could hear his family draw in their breath when they saw the sight and Harry had to admit Hogwarts was impressive with the large towers and the walls that seemed to glow with the light of a sun and instantly Harry started looking for anything that was making it look like this using all of his senses and soon enough he spotted it magic if he looked just right he could see a glowing barrier like light surrounding Hogwarts and giving its glow
"Impressive but probably not as invincible as they would think" Battery said looking over the barrier along side Ruin both easily spotting the gaps and holes in the barrier
"Looks like they haven't updated their protection wonder why" Ruin said and by this time Harry had already passed the barrier and almost went into a forced shut down at the overload of energy that had went through him but he had quickly rerouted the magic into his core using it as a shield from the plausible overload
"Well that could have ended badly" Harry said as he felt something slowly pull back the magic from him and it was at that moment when he heard a new voice inside his mind
"Well you are very interesting young one" a voice said and instantly Harry went into his mind's room only to find a woman in flowing Robes looking around at the Specialists
"And who might you be" Ruin said aiming a virtual gun at the invader
"I am lady Hogwarts and I am sorry about almost harming your young one" Hogwarts said bowing to them
"Well I didn't think the wizarding world had something like AIs hmm" Prophet said circling lady Hogwarts who was looking after this curiously
"well apology accepted but what are you" Ruin said as he slowly put his gun down although he didn't put it up just yet
"I am a MI or magical Inelegance although I think my humans don't know I am here" Lady Hogwarts said this just caused Harry to smirk
"Well I know so I guess you can come by whenever you want as long as you don't try anything" Harry said before leaving his family to talk to the new entity as he got up and walked with the rest of the class to the doors where he found Professor Mcgonagall who nodded toward the cyborg before she left leading the student's into Hogwarts and telling them the rules of the place rules that Harry recorded and saved in his mind then they watched as Mcgonagall left and Harry quickly went back into his mind's room to talk to Hogwarts
"Hmm yes I knew Harry's parents hah James was one of my favourites him and his friends were always getting into mischief and loved to play pranks on anyone and everyone" Hogwarts was saying as Harry walked in
"Wait so you knew my parents personally" Harry asked looking at the robed figure while his family smirked at him
"Yes I did and I was extremely saddened to hear of there death but even still I will not believe what they state about poor little Sirius" Hogwarts said this caused some confusion
"Who's Sirius" Harry asked but before he got a answer he heard screaming and quickly rushed out of his mind scape and into the real world and with years of training with his family pulled out his 9mm and pointed it at where the screaming came from only to freeze when he noticed the ghost's although know Hermione was staring at him in shock
"What I know how to use it" Harry said putting up his gun back in it's hiding place which surprising Hermione was in his arm and right after Megonigal came back and lead them toward the front of the entire school before placing a hat on a chair in front of them
"You have to be kidding me" Seraph said watching as the hat got a rip and started singing
"Nope it's a singing hat you know I'm recording this and keeping it as my ringtone" Outrider said to several groans as Harry smirked before the hat finished and Mcgonagall started calling up students and Harry watched as Neville went to Gryffindor, Hermione joined him, Draco and his bodyguards went to Slytherin then he heard his old name
"Harry Potter" Mcgonagall said and quickly Harry moved forward ignoring the fact that it was his old name after all after everything he was still unsure if his name changed but that was quickly lost to him as the hat was placed on his head and he instantly heard the clicking of several guns and quickly Harry went into his mind to find his family pointing guns at a very old man that was looking around in surprise before he centered on Hogwarts
"Well this is very interesting hmm" the voice that came out of the man sounded exactly like the hats voice so slowly the family lowered their guns
"Uh okay at some point I want to learn how to enter minds like that" Harry said thinking of what he could do with that including bring his friends into his virtual room
"Hmm yes that would be a idea but hey not my job to keep you lot safe my jobs to sort you" the 'hat' said before several of Harry's memories appeared in front of them
"Hmm yes you're adventurous and would do well in Gryffindor with that hero complex you have" the hat said
"But you could also go to Ravenclaw with how much you love to read and learn heh you're even taking what's happening now and studying but you're doing so for your own use very Slytherin" the ''hat said and he and Hogwarts were both glad when Harry just shrugged at that
"Hmm and also not afraid of going into Slytherin if I had told your father that he would fit in Slytherin he would of had a fit" The hat said this just caused the family to smirk
"You also have a good loyalty but only to those that deserve it hmm I think I only have one choice and I think you will agree with me my lady" The hat said smiling at Hogwarts who smirked before he vanished and quickly Harry followed him right as he said
"Gryffindor"
So what do you think Hogwarts is a living entity so is the hat and both are interested in Harry so know what will happen hmm
