Two months had passed since Harry found out that he was a wizard and began to learn magic and potions from the books that he received in the winter festival. He was practicing outside training as much as possible; mostly in his room. During these two months period, he became a true expert in levitation, defensive charms and spells including some spells that can create and shoot fire and snow or turn water into ice as well as illuminating spells. He wasn't daring to use too much the blasting curses or charms especially if he was too close, he always had to fly away for a time after training at a good distance for no one to hear or see him.

For potions the situation was a bit more complicated, he was managing to make some of them, the books were telling the recipes and he was receiving some of the ingredients but not all of them. He always had to search the other ingredients in the Valley, thanks to the fertile soil he was managing to find the rest of them. The main problem was that he couldn't always use the cauldron he received because it would be too obvious and he had to use a teapot that he bought himself, so the cauldron was used outside or in the evening when the masters were doing other things or when they were out in missions. The potions that he was doing were always healing potions and antidotes for poisons, in his opinion they were the more useful then poisons or love potions for the moment.

Crane was a bit concerned about his student, for, he became a bit distant and had a strange behavior and he didn't know what was the reason for that. The other masters also noticed that he would do only his kung fu training and Thai chi exercises before going to his room, staying there for several hours doing something.

Crane checked on him several times, by picking on him, but he only noticed that Harry was only standing there and nothing else. It was a bit odd, because he couldn't just stay there and do nothing like he was grounded or something, he knew that something was out of hand, because he was sometimes skipping lunch time, or was arriving bit late. There was surely something that was bothering him. He was always asking himself what could it be.

Harry noticed the concerns of his master as well of the others, although the others seemed that they don't pay too much attention to what he was doing. Crane always seemed more concerned about him, he hated keeping secrets like this from him, he just didn't want him or the others think that he was using magic to cheat or that he was sullying the purity of kung fu with it, thing that he wasn't doing, although inside him he was full of remorse for not telling the truth.

But now he can't think about this, he must pay attention to the potion he was making in the present moment; it was a healing potion for healing common injuries but it seems that it was more difficult to make it then it looked. He had to boil the potion and stir it many times, add a lot of Salamander blood before adding lionfish spine, flobberworm mucous and other ingredients (ingredients that appeared in his room every week). He was now on the brink of finishing it, he was lucky that Master Shifu was on an important visit to master Chao, to return in five days and the others were on different missions, but the problem was, of course, that the masters could return any minute now and he had to get it done quickly.

One time, he was almost caught by Shifu while making a changing color potion, it was finished of course, but he had to drink it, not to get caught, so it turned his white wings blue for two days, he had to lie that he was allergic to an ingredient in a blueberry juice he had bought. He had to drink ginger root tea, lemon leafs, goji berries sometimes bamboo leafs till the effect was gone.

"All right, almost finished." He said to himself while reading from the potion book.

'Add honeywater until it turns turquoise then heat until it turns pink.' He took the bottle of honeywater and poured in before heating it and got the pink color, he was almost finished. 'Add salamander blood until it turns green.' He took the bottle with salamander blood and poured some very slowly, so it wouldn't change color in an unwanted one, till the potion turned green; it looked like green tea, so he put the bottle back on the table.

"Finished. Now I need to clean up here and put it in an empty bottle." He said to himself and took the ingredients and the magic heater and put them in a wooden magical suitcase that was small on the outside but larger on the inside.

"Now I need to put the potion in a bottle." He said and took the suitcase with ingredients to the barracks towards his room. 15 minutes later Mantis together with a not too well Monkey arrived.

"Those pig bandits were really mad after we found they're hiding place with the stolen goods." Mantis said.

"Yeah, I can't believe I broke my arm during that battle, I mean look at it." Monkey said annoyed showing his broken arm.

"Don't worry, I will make some acupuncture for you, but you still need to stay away from doing too much effort, from how it looks it will heal in a week or two." Mantis said.

"Oh yeah right, till then, it will become a bit rusty till it heals." He said to Mantis who then turned his head to the table and noticed something like green tea.

"Hey, how about some green tea maybe it will heal quicker." He said and Monkey noticed a teapot on the table.

"Or maybe it will make me forget what happened." Monkey said still annoyed, they took two small teacups and poured some "tea" in them. Just in that moment Harry was coming back with a bottle for the potion.

"Good that I made the potion in the teapot I bought; this is the only empty bottle I have now." He said to himself while looking at it, it was a small green glass bottle, he had a total of ten; half were made of porcelain and the others were made of glass, the problem was that all of the others were full with other potions, two or three of them even with the same potions he made in the cauldron, only the one in his wing was empty. Then he heard a conversation and at the entrance in the hall of the warrior and saw Monkey and Mantis drinking some of the potion.

"Hm, this tea has a strange taste." Monkey said a bit thought.

"Yeah, what kind of tea is this?" Mantis asked and Monkey took another sip from it.

"My healing potion." He said in shock making Mantis to turn back towards him.

"Healing potion?" Monkey said before putting his hand on the ground but didn't feel pain any more.

"Hey, my hand is healed." He said happily.

"Wait we actually drank a healing potion you made?" Mantis asked. Harry was feeling a knot in his stomach now that he was caught and knew what could come, he had to give an answer somehow but he couldn't say his secret.

"Yes, I became interested and it's a new hobby of mine outside training." He said hoping they will believe him.

"Why didn't you tell us?" Mantis asked.

"Well." He couldn't give an appropriate answer.

"Wait I think I know why." Monkey said making Harry to get stressed.

"You do master Monkey?" Harry asked.

"You didn't want to tell us because you thought that we will tell Crane or Shifu what you were doing and we would forbid you from making potions. Right?" Monkey said.

"Well, yeah, something like that." Harry said a bit relieved that they didn't suspect him for being a wizard.

"Well, we wouldn't forbid you from making potions, neither master Shifu nor Crane would." Mantis said making Harry even more relieved.

"But I would want you to show me where you got the recipe from." Mantis said and Harry with his heart in his beak showed him the potion book he had in a bag, that he bought for moving his magic books and his wand that was hidden under his bed in its box. After placing it on the table Mantis began to look in it.

"Hope you didn't buy it from the Moshu Market." Monkey said.

"I never was there, I swear." Harry said.

"I hope that as well." Monkey said while Mantis was still looking in the book, for him some of the names of the potions ingredients that were written were totally ridiculous and weird, after two minutes he concluded that the book wasn't from the Moshu Market.

"This potion book isn't from the Moshu market but rather from a Shi Yan merchant; it is full of antidotes for poisons and healing potions but I have to say that some ingredients have really weird names; salamander blood, flobberworm mucous." He said closing the book a bit trembling.

"What are the Shi Yan merchants?" Harry asked confused.

"There are merchants who are selling things for white magic in form of books that contains defensive spells or potions or even potions they make, together with talismans and medallions. They are usually selling they're stuff with merchants that are selling normal things, they usually don't say what it is, you encounter them at every faire and every market." Mantis said.

"Oh right." Harry said.

"Still how did you get it?" Monkey asked.

"Well it was a fare in the village three weeks ago and I bought it from there together with the ingredients." Harry said.

"Oh yeah I remember now." Monkey said before realizing.

"Wait a minute, that time when you turned blue and you said you were allergic to an ingredient of a juice you drank, it was actually a changing color potion that you made, right?" Monkey said curious.

"Yes." He said awkwardly.

"And let me guess you drank it so we wouldn't catch you with it, right?" Mantis said.

"Yes. But that was only for you not to think that I became interested in stuff like this." He said.

"Hey, most of us will understand that it is only a hobby, don't worry." Mantis said.

"All right I will say the truth once everyone comes back." Harry said and took the book, leaving the Hall of the Warriors, then Monkey suddenly got an idea for a prank.

"Hey, Harry." He called.

"Yes, what is it?"

"Can you borrow me the recipe for the changing color potion?" Monkey asked making Harry who was a bit disturbed, he knew that he would use it for a prank.

"Let me think about this." Harry said and left. After an hour Crane, Viper and Tigress returned, backed by Monkey and Mantis, Harry admitted that he was making potions in secret as a hobby.

After the confession, Crane was a bit relived, all the strange behavior he had was actually for them not to find out that he was making potions, worried that they will forbid him from making them. For Viper, the fact that he had a hobby to make potions was really something unusual that not too many people were doing, especially kung fu students of his age. Tigress was a bit thoughtful about this hobby of his, especially that he knew what happened when Po took a pair of magic shoes that turned to life, although it was a bit different now, especially that even they were making potions to treat wounds and other things.

Po came later that day and immediately went to his room to rest on his bed. In the corridor Crane, Tigress and Harry were talking about what they found out.

"Sorry for not telling you earlier about this, master." Harry said.

"You don't need to be sorry Harry, you saw now that you can make potions without problems, especially that this thing isn't so much a problem." Crane said.

"But still, be careful what kind of potions you are doing, magic can give you a lot but it can take ten times more then you got. Try not to make too powerful or too dangerous potions." Tigress said.

"Yes master Tigress." He said and went to his room, the two masters noticed the potion book on his desk as well as the ten potion bottles near his bed.

"Those are all the potions you made during this time?" Crane asked.

"Yes master, I wrote the names on the bottles, some of them are the same potions. Of course I didn't manage to make all of them." He said and Tigress took the book and looked in it, for her the book was a bit strange, it was like a student manual for some sort of magic school.

"This looks more like a manual for a magic school." Tigress said while looking in it.

"Well, even I put the same question myself." Harry said a bit stressed.

"You said that you didn't do all the potions in the book?" Crane asked.

"I didn't have enough bottles to put them in. Some of them were really hard to make and others that I tried blued up in my face, but I practiced and made some healing potions and antidotes for poisons." Harry said and then Tigress noticed something in the book.

"You didn't make all the potions, because the book doesn't have all of them." Tigress said attracting both cranes attention.

"Wait, what do you mean?" Harry asked and Tigress showed the book and said.

"A page is missing." Harry took the book and looked in it and noticed that one page was ripped off, but of a specific potion; the recipe for the changing color potion.

"The changing color potion recipe is missing!" He said shocked and looked in the wardrobe.

"Together with the ingredients." He said and Tigress took him by the shoulder.

"Did someone ask you, to lend it?" She asked.

"Well, Monkey asked me if he can borrow it, but I didn't want to give it, but I didn't tell him that." Harry said.

"It was that potion that you made and drank it immediately so we wouldn`t catch you?" Tigress asked.

"Yes." He answered.

"Let's go and take it from him." Crane said and left the room when they heard a scream from Po's room and he got out, but instead of black and white he got out in purple and pink.

"Monkey, what is this?" Po said a bit angry.

"A little color change, don't worry it will pass in two or three days." He said laughing.

"You are lucky that I am not vengeful otherwise I would, wraaaaa." He began to chase him and the others were laughing.

"Now that was truly a good one." Mantis who was in the corridor said laughing. While Crane, Tigress and Harry went to Monkey's room and took the recipe and the remaining ingredients and got them back to Harry's room, Crane had to take some of his student's healing potions to be in common use, he gave them away without protesting.

After they left a strange light appeared again and left a small book. Harry took it and read the title 'The Legend of the Philosopher's Stone.' He opened it and began to read; it was impressive that someone managed to create a magic stone that was used to create a potion that turns every metal into pure gold as well as prolonging you're life.

"Wow, this stone is so powerful that many people would try to steal it." Harry said to himself and turned to the last page that was blank.

'Just that?' he thought to himself before wanting to close the book but then he noticed something. The page was glued to another one, only a small corner was out, unfortunately he couldn't use his wing to pull it out, but then he remembered that he was sometimes making grabbing practices with his claws, so with that in mind he put the book on the floor and used his claws to grab the corner and he slowly pulled it out. After that he took the note in his wing and began to read.

'Aside from turning every metal into gold and prolong someone's life it could also make someone to regain his lost magic powers no matter if he is good or evil, that makes it the target for many wizards who want to restore they're powers and want to use it for evil.'

"If this stone would be real I would rather protect it then to let it fall into the wrong hands. I think this would be what my master and the others would do." Harry said to himself before noticing the sky turned dark, time had passed quickly, so he immediately went to bed to rest for the next day of kung fu lessons and magic.

In the meantime at Hogwarts in the Defense against the Dark Arts quarters a man wearing a purple turban just entered, he had just returned from his failed attempt to steal the Philosopher's Stone that was magically put by professor Dumbledore in the Mirror of Erised for no one to manage in stealing it. He even tried to break it but the mirror was too strong even for his magic, he couldn't believe he disappointed his master again, but while walking he heard a conversation in the headmaster's office that Harry Potter was in another world that was resembling Ancient China and that was ruled by animals and the boy by unknown ways turned into a young Crane.

"Master, now that we found where Harry Potter is, what shall we do?" The man who was none other then Quirinus Quirrel asked his master Lord Voldermort who was on the other side of his follower's head.

"We have to go there to get him." He said coldly and weak.

"The mirror will not allow us to get it because we want to steal it, the boy instead would try to protect it at all costs, and we will go there and use him to get the stone." The dark Lord said.

"Master with all do respect, I think he will not want to help us." Quirrel said.

"I know and that's why we will try to tempt him, if he will not accept we will kill him and get the stone in front of all his animal loved ones. No matter what will happen we have to prevail, and if necessary we will take control of that land and his inhabitants." The Dark Lord said.

"Where shall our starting point be, my master?" The Professor said.

"We will start with one of the prosperous kingdom's there, where the lords are no more and they're son and heir isn't there, one that is lead by those kung fu masters." He said the last two word with a disc ousted tone.

"They will try to defend it, but even this kung fu will be no match for our dark magic, Master." He said.

"Exactly, prepare yourself, we go there, don't be afraid we will not turn into animals. Harry Potter turned into a bird because he wished to be in a place where he will no more be with those muggles. On the other hand,we will go there like visitors." The Dark Lord said.
