Chapter 4: The Hogwarts Express

"Grandpa Charlus says hello." Harry said to Narcissa. "And he can't wait to meet "little Draco" the next time he comes to Hell. Apparently he and Gran got sick just after he was born and never got to meet him."

"You've met Charlus?" Narcissa said in shock.

"Yeah and fun fact Draco my grandma Dorea Black was your mums aunt!"

"Wait so that means!"

"Hello cousins!"

The two clapped hands up top and Harry's face fell.

"What's wrong?" Draco turned and saw Ronald Weasley in brand new clothes looking a lot healthier since they last saw him. "Looks like Weasley is doing all right with that trust fund you set up for him."

Ron's hair didn't have the vibrant red it did last year but its color was returning.

"You did a good thing Harry." Lucius said putting a hand on his shoulder.

"I traumatized him." Harry said.

"He was being controlled by an unknown entity." Lucius said. "By the way Arthur is thriving in his new position in the Department Of Magical Law Enforcement."

Arthur Weasley was now a clerk in the Ministry Legal Library. While not as exciting as The Misuse Of Muggle Artifacts Office it paid extremely well for what was essentially a librarians position. He also got to learn while perusing a degree in Magical Law.

"Just, be cautious. Be courteous. Take him under your wing. From what I understand about the boy he's actually a chess prodigy. Perhaps a weekly chess game could be a good start?"

Taking a deep breath Harry said "Thank you Mr. Malfoy."

"You boys have a good term." Lucius said as he took Narcissas arm after she kissed Draco on the forehead.

"I gotta go talk to Weasley." Harry said to Draco and his fellow Slytherins. "Enjoy the sweets." Harry said as he grabbed some as a peace offering.

Hardy checked door after door before finally finding Ronald with his fellow Second Year Gryffindor Boys.

"Hi Harry how was your summer?" A somewhat cowardly but good natured boy called Neville Longbottom asked.

"It was fine Neville. I brought you a book on Hell Flora remind me later to give it to you. Would you Boys mind if I talked to Ronald er...alone?"

The boys seemed hesitant remembering what happened when Ron left the school.

"I only want to talk, look I don't even have my Flintlock." Harry said opening his button down frayed coat showing no pistol. "And I brought a peace offering." He showed a large bag from the Trolley.

"It's alright i don't mind." Ron said to his friends. "Just go next door Percy and some older students are there."

"I heard you where a chess prodigy. I always played with my Papa Stolas during his breaks and commissioned wizard pieces of my own." Harry showed Ron his chess pieces. Magicked to resemble his family and even speak in their mannerisms.

"The King And Queen are obvious." Harry Pointed to King Stolas and Queen Blitzo in his usual attire. "My SatanParents Moxxie And Millie are the bishops. My Sister Octavia is the Knight Piece. And my sister Loona the Hellhound is the Castle."

"What's in their hands?" Rob asked.

"Oh that's the coolest part. My dad is an assassin by trade so when I commissioned the pieces I asked if they could put a small muggle shotgun in his hands. Uncle Moxxie has two Submachine Guns in his hands and Aunt Millie carries a battle axe."

"Wicked." Ron said as he set up a chess board in the middle of the room.

"Knight to E5." Ron said and his knight moved to E5.

"Queen to E5." Harry smirked.

The Queen piece laughed and ran to E5 holding his shotgun to the knights head and BOOM a tiny boom rang out and Blitzo dragged the Knight to Harry's side of the board. giving him another blast to the head.

"I'd suggest going after his Kings Knight." Moxxie suggested to Harry.

"Bishop Moxxie to E3."

"Bitches!" Moxxie let loose his smgs and obliterated Ron's Knight. The pieces reassembled themselves on Harry's side of the board.

"You look healthier." Harry said planning his next four moves.

"Yeah Dad can afford quality care now he's got a decent job." Ron said as he was planning his next 5 moves.

"You got new clothes."

"And my own wand!" Rob said excitedly. "13 and a half inch unicorn tail hair." He pulled it out to show Harry. "Willow." He added.

"Fertility and New Life." Harry said with a smile. "Makes sense considering your large family." Harry pulled out his own wand. "My wand is made of Saptaparni and a feather from Papa Stolas given to Olivanders decades ago. Saptaparni is known as the Devils Tree in India."

"I'm sorry how I talked about your parents." Ron said with an embarrassed blush.

"Don't worry about it you were under a compulsion charm I understand what bewitchment does." Harry said. "If you like I can teach you how to protect yourself from such problems in the future. But be warned it will be gritty grinding grueling work."

"I'm willing to try." Ron said.

"Checkmate." Harry said as King Stolas Opened his palm and created a energy blast in his hand blasting Rons King.

"I'll be goddamned." Ron said looking over his pieces. "That's the first time anyone's beaten me ever!"

"When you play Chess with Generals you learn to manipulate your enemy into playing right into your hands." Harry said S their pieces repaired themselves.

"It was a pleasure doing battle with you." Stolas said up to Ron.

"You as well sir." Ron said in shock. "Bloody Hell how much did those animation spells cost?"

"They weren't cheap but my papa finds them amusing so I made him a set to play with at home. At least I hope that's what he uses them for." Harry said in sudden thought."

"Alright my tiny Blitzy." Stolas cooed. "Time for your daily tongue bath."

"No no no please Satan No!" Tiny Blitz shouted as the tongue descends. He knew what was coming after.

"What else would he use them for besides chess?" Ron asked.

"Don't worry about it." Harry said shuddering as he shook his head.

The door suddenly opened and there stood Hermione Granger. Harry's Gryffindor friend. Also going into her Second Year she was the brightest Witch of their year.

"Oh thank God." Hermione said. "When I heard you where alone with Ronald-"

"It's okay Hermione we where just playing Wizards Chess calm down." Harry said. "I'll see you I. 3 days for another game?" Harry asked. "How about in the library?"

"Nice and quiet sounds good." Ron nodded. "Bye." He waved as Harry and Hermione left.

"Oh sweet Christmas what am I going to do with you?" Hermione said.

"Hermione it's okay look I didn't even bring my Flintlock I left it with Draco." Harry opened his coat again. "I've been going to Anger Management Therapy."

"They have Therapy in Hell?" Hermione asked.

"Lots Of therapists who slept with their patients."

"I see. Well as long as your getting something positive out of it. I'll go back to my car now."

Harry watched Hermione Leave as the Gryffindor Boys returned and left to return to his fellow Slytherins.

To Be Continued...

Blitzo was already at Hogwarts getting acquainted with the castle layout as was Collin. Remus went with them which is why he didn't ride the train this time.
