Chapter 07 The Prefect's Badge
"Do you sell teddy bears now?" Asked curiously Katie to Harry the next morning when the group went to breakfast.
"I created one yesterday at Transfiguration and I sold a copy to Alicia and McGonagall. My Aunt wasn't very happy with the sale to the Professor." Shrugged Harry a little remembering his mother's reaction.
"Will you create more?" Asked Angelina interested, listening his words.
"If I get more quills, sure. Maybe I'll start using other things. For now the quills are my things. Do you have old ones to give me?" Asked Harry to his teammates.
"Give us a few days and we'll get you a few ones." Answered Katie with a smile while Angelina nodded.
"Before I forget, 5 Sickles the bear. And I get a copy or the original of all of my creations." Said the boy after thinking a little.
"Got it!" Exclaimed the girls before they turned their atention to the food.
"Making business with the students now?" Asked sternly Lily going to her son. James and Sirius were with her.
"You told me that I shouldn't do them with Professors. You didn't say nothing about students." Said Harry with an inocent smile to his parents and Godfather.
"Whatever." Said the woman roling her eyes, before she added in a serious tone: "We Wish to talk with you."
Harry checked his schedule and saw that his first class was his father's. Harry sighed deeply and followed them to James' Office. He suspected that this meeting was about his training and not asking help to them.
"What's the matter with you 3?" Asked the teen sitting in a chair looking to the adults with a smile.
"What's your form?" Asked the 3 of them at the same time with anxiety in their voices.
"I'm sorry to dissapoint the 3 of you, but I don't have a form..." Began Harry but James exclaimed.
"You don't have any form??" Said the man shocked and horrified with the news.
"Let me finish and don't interrupt!" Said Harry hitting his father at the head.
"Sorry, continue." Said James rubbing his head.
"Like I was saying, I don't have a form, I have 5." Said Harry with a wide grin in his face.
"YOU HAVE 5 ANIMAGUS FORMS?????" Asked the adults shouting at the same time completely shocked with the news.
"Yep, they are a Dragon, a Phoenix, a Tiger, a Gryffin and a Hawk." Said Harry counting the forms with his fingers.
"Are you kidding?" Asked Sirius without recovering himself from the shock.
"Nope. McGonagall did the charm on me, and my shadow showed those animals." Explained Harry with a proud smile.
"I don't understand why those forms." Said Lily confused and curious, trying to pass the initial shock.
"I can think 3 of them. The Hawk is easy: When I play Quidditch, I'm like one. The Phoenix is obvious: like one, I always reborn from the ashes of every problem. The Dragon is the strenght and power. I'm like one in those points too. I don't have any clue about the Tiger and the Gryffin." Said Harry thinking a little.
"I can answer the Gryffin. It's because your inheritance. Both of us, and Mary and Paul too, are heirs of Godric Gryffindor. The name Gryffindor means "Gryffin of gold" in french." Said James seriously looking to his son.
"I'M WHAT??????" Asked Harry shouting not believing what his father had said.
"Didn't you know it?" Asked Lily in confussion. The other 2 adults felt the same.
"No. Dumbledore didn't tell me. I guess that's why..." Said Harry thinking in the unanswered question in the chat between he and his granfather during his first year at the Hospital Wing.
"Why what?" Asked the adults confused.
"Nothing, nothing." Said Harry waving his hand dismissing the matter.
Harry began to think in everything, and he began to conect ideas. The sword in his second year. He didn't take it from the Sorting Hat because he was a member of the House, it was because he was the heir of the School's founder. He guessed that the ability of being Multi Magus was conected to that fact too. And Voldemort being the Heir of Slytherin explained the hate and the wish to kill his father and him.
"Are you ok?" Asked Lily concerned after 10 minutes of silence bringing Harry back from his own thoughts.
"Yes, I was thinking in a few things." Said Harry before he asked: "Is there something else that I can do? I mean besides being Multi Magus."
"Wandless Magic." Said James pointing his hand to a vase and summoning it easily.
"That explains all the accidents." Thought Harry to himself, remembering everything that had happened when he was a child: the misterious happening that anyone could explain, the glass in the zoo in Dudley's birthday, the blow up of Aunt Marge. He stopped thinking when he felt that his head was in the middle of a whirlwind.
"We'll continue this chat later." Said Lily when the bell that indicated the beggining of the classes was heard.
"Sure." Said Harry going to the Classroom and sitting in the front row as in his own Universe, while Sirius and Lily left to go their classes of the morning.
"Are you ok?" Asked James concerned and worried.
"Confused. I feel as if my head is in a whirlwind." Answered the teen after a few moments.
"I felt it too when I was told." Laughed James.
"What shall we do in class?" Asked Harry changing the subject quickly.
"Dueling. It'll be funny do it against you. You still owe me one for the stunning." Said James with a groan remembering when they had met here for first time.
"Are you sure of it?" Asked Harry with an evil grin.
"Yes, I am." Said the Professor with a grin that rivalized his son's one.
"Let's have our duel at the end of the class. It'll take a while." Said Harry watching the rest of the students of Gryffindor and Ravenclaw enter in the classroom in that moment.
"Good morning, kids. Today we'll have dueling again. In this class, you'll duel against me using the charms seen in the previous year for dueling and others that you have seen in the other classes." Explained James to the students.
"Rules of the duels?" Asked Terry Boot from Ravenclaw raising up his hand.
"You can do everything except the Unforgivables." Explained James going to the center of the room that would be used for dueling.
Harry sat in the floor and began to watch the duels. Most of the students didn't last more than 10 minutes. Some of them were defeated a few minutes after the beggining of the duel. The one that lasted more was Terry Boot. It took James almost 30 minutes to defeat him. He was really good at it.
"Let's begin." Said James bowing to Harry when it was the teen's time to duel.
"Quietus!" Shouted Harry pointing his wand to his father's throat.
The spell hit James with full strenght. The adult tried to speak but no word left his mouth. He realized that he was dead. He couldn't say the counter curse to the charm and if he couldn't speak, Harry had free way to do whatever he wanted. James watched Harry's face and saw a big and evil grin on his face.
"You are a dead man, Prongs!" Said Harry before he pointed his wand to his father before he threw 5 differents charms towards him. The first one was full body bind, the second one to dye the hair, the third to change his robes, the fourth added earrings to his ears and the last one made his hair grow to the hips.
Everyone burst out in laughter when he finished his work. Now, James had pink hair that reached to his hips, had bug and ugly golden earrings and had woman's dress robes in color orange.
Harry said the counter curse to the full body bind and made appear a mirror and handed it to his father. James watched his image and had an horror look in his face. He looked horrible.
"FLASH!"
Everyone turned their atention to Harry who had a camera in his hand and was pointing it to James. Harry was laughing at his father's face and had a big evil grin in his own face.
James shot his son a look that said: "Return me to the normalcy NOW."
Harry smiled and said the counter curses to make everything dissapear. A few moments later, the Professor had his normal image. When he tried to speak, he couldn't say nothing and looked Harry and sent the same message again.
"You ruin my fun, you know?" Said Harry with a big sigh before he shot the counter curse.
"I'll kill you for this." Said James to his son in a whisper, before he turned to the class: "He did something that I've never seen in a duel and that turned to him. He casted a silencing charm on his opponent. It was risky, but worked very well. 30 points for Gryffindor, Mr. Potter. Class dismissed!" Exclaimed James clapping his hands to signel the end of the lesson.
Everyone took their bags and left the classroom chatting excitedly about the duel between Harry and the Professor, the charms and the look of James when Harry had done his job. Many of them asked a copy of the picture to Harry. The boy, seeing another business that would leave some money to him, said that it would cost a Sickle. All of them said that they would pay for it. Harry smiled and began to walk towards Charms, his next class, with the other Gryffindors.
In Charms, they learnt about cleaning charms. They were really easy and everyone got points for them. Harry, who found this class as easy as Transfiguration, got them before anyone and earned 40 points for Gryffindor.
When Harry sat for lunch, he saw that his father was looking at him with a murderous look in his face. Harry sent him a sweet smile to him and started to talk with Katie about the bears.
"Maybe I'll ask you one, but I'll tell you how I want it. I guess most of them, you'll create them with your ideas, right?" Said the Chaser while the group was eating.
"I don't have problems with that. I've told you my condition: I keep a copy if someone asks one with their likes, the original goes for that person. If I create it alone, I sell the copy." Explained Harry with a smile. Katie nodded and went on eating.
"What are you talking about?" Asked Fred confused listening his teammates' chat. Many other students were confused too,
"Harry began a business selling teddy bears. 5 Sickles each one." Explained Alicia showing the one that she had bought him the previous night.
"Cool!" Said Mary watching the bear.
"If you want one, get a quill or something soft and I create more. My last one was used to make the original bear of that one." Said the teen pointing the little bear.
"That's why you aunt was angry yesterday, right?" Asked George remembering the scene that happened the previous night.
"She got angry becuase I sold the first copy to McGonagall. She didn't like very much that detail." Shrugged Harry.
"Why those details?" Asked a first year girl watching the bear.
"The book and the fur are because of my best 2 best friends. He's a redhair and she is a bookworm. The glasses and the lightning are because of me." Explained Harry showing his scar in the forehead. When everyone had seen it, he continued: "the cigarrette and the jacket are because I wanted to add them. Nothing in special."
"Cool!" Said someone listening his words.
"If any of you wants teddy bears, they cost 5 Sickles. In a week I'll create more." Said Harry before he turned their atention to the food again.
The rest of the members of the table began to talk excitedly and many of them liked the idea. Suddenly, Mary elbowed her brother and pointed to the High table. Lily looked him with a face that clearly said that she didn't like that idea very much. Harry ignored it completely and went on eating. Needless to say, Lily was completely bewildered by this.
"What's wrong, Lily?" Asked Albus to his daughter curiously.
"Harry began a business selling teddy bears to the students of the School." Said Lily to the old Wizard pointing to the Gryffindor Table where many students were watching the bear.
"Interesting. I wonder how much do they cost." Chuckled Albus with his eyes full of joy.
"Albus!" Said Lily not believing his words.
"Lily, it isn't ilegal. Nowhere in the rules of the School says that a student can't sell things to others. And Teddy Bears aren't things that you could consider dangerous." Said Albus with a smile.
"What's dangerous with Harry, is dueling with him!" Exclaimed James listening the Headmaster's words.
"What happened?" Asked Sirius with a mischievious grin.
"We dueled. You'll never guess which was his first spell." Said James in a misterious tone.
"The dissarming?" Asked Minerva. James shook his head.
"The Stunning?" Suggested Albus. Another shook.
"Full body bind?" Said Lily curious. Another shook.
"Which one?" Asked Sirius completely confused.
"The silencing charm. He casted one in me." Said James not happy with the memory.
Sirius burst out in laughter when he heard that. Lily soon joined him in the laughter. Albus and Minerva chuckled imagining what had happened. All the other teachers and the students looked at them strangely for 5 minutes before the 4 adults stopped their laugh.
"Oh God, that's a good one!" Said Sirius in a teasing tone to James.
"What did he do after that spell? I'm sure that he did something to you and your look wasn't... normal at the end." Said Dumbledore with his eyes twinkling with joy.
"Ask him a copy of the picture." Said James before he stood up and left the Great Hall shooting his son a murderous look.
"What picture?" Asked the adults curious with his words.
****
After lunch, Harry and the rest of the fifth years students of Gryffindor went to the Dungeons. They had Double Potions with Slytherin. Harry went to the half of the classroom and took his elements and waited for Sirius to begin the class.
"Ok, everybody, today will begin with Veritaserum," Started Sirius with the class a few moments later, "Can anyone tell me what is it used for?"
"It's a potion's truth. 3 drops are enough to make you reveal all your secrets." Said Harry remembering Snape's threaten of last year in one of his classes.
"10 points for Gryfindor, Mr. Potter. These are the ingredients that you'll need to do it." Said Sirius before he started to write the recipe in the blackboard.
Harry found it very easy an his Potion was perfect. When he finished it, he turned his atention to Neville who was having a lot of problems with it.
"Some things never change." Thought Harry smiling to himself while he helped his yearmate in his Potion.
The rest of the class went without accidents of any kind, except Crabbe almost making explode his Potion, but was saved by Sirius to controlled it in time to prevent an accident. During the class, Gryffindor earned 25 points thanks to their Potions and the good results of them. Slytherin lost 25 due to a few mistakes of their students.
"Mr. Potter, I need to speak with you for a moment." Called Sirius to his Godson when the students were leaving to go to their next class, Herbology.
"What's up, Sirius?" Asked the teen confused and tired of being called after class for 2 days in a row.
"Can I see the picture?" Asked Sirius with a mischievious smile.
"Pay 1 Sickle and you have the copy." Said Harry with a grin like Sirius' one.
"Do you sell everything now? First the Teddy Bears and now the picture?" Asked Sirius in dibelief paying the money to Harry.
"I'm a man of business, Padfoot." Laughed Harry giving the copy to his Godfather and going to the hothouse where he had his next class with Sprout.
In Herbology they studied the Luparia. Harry knew that it was used to make the Wolfbane Potion. He knew this because Remus used to drink it in Universe.
The bad feeling returned when he thought about the Sirius and Remus of his home and another question jumped in his mind: Did he want to return there or he would like to be in this one forever?
Harry didn't know the answer, but he knew something, while he was here, he would get as much fun as he could. He deceided to think the less he could about his home and put his atention in this one.
"Hey Harry, what's wrong? The class has finished!" Said Dean snapping his fingers calling Harry's atention.
"Sorry, I was a little distracted. Let's go back to the School." Said Harry going to the castle again.
"Do you miss your home?" Asked the muggle-born wizard after walking a few moments in silence.
"A lot. I miss especcially my 2 best friends. It's like if something of me is missing." Said Harry with a sad smile.
Dean nodded and dropped the subject to change it quickly to Quidditch. They went on talking about it till they reached to the Great Hall for dinner almost 1 hour later.
While they were eating, Harry saw that Sirius was showing the picture to a few teachers. All of them were laughing. The only one who wasn't, was James who didn't look happy with that. In a moment, Lily put her head in her hands and shook it a few moments before she shot Harry a not happy look. The teen realized that Sirius had mentioned the price.
"What do you sell this time?" Asked the groups of players and his brother to Harry, understandig Lily's reaction.
"Oh, just this. 1 Sickle each copy." Said Harry giving them a copy of the picture with an evil grin on his face.
"I Want a copy!" Exclaimed the twins, Mary and Paul at the same time realizing what the picture was and who was on it.
"1 Sickle." Said Harry putting his hand on the table.
"I'll give it in the Tower." Said the 4 of them at the same time.
"Come with me." Said Lily to her son in a very angry and serious tone of voice before she left the Hall.
"See you later." Said Harry with a sigh following his mother.
Both of them walked in silence to the Professor's quarters. After giving the Password, they entered and Harry went to his room to see Falcore. He hadn't seen his pet for a few days.
"What's the matter now?" Asked Harry turning his atention to his mother.
"What's going on with you?? First you sell teddy bears and now the pictures!" Said Lily bewildered.
"What's wrong with that? I'm not doing anything illegal. What's the matter if I want to make some money?" Said Harry to his mother exasperated with her position in this subject.
"I don't understand you! If you want money why don't you ask?" Asked Lily trying to control her anger.
"I'll explain this only once. In my universe I learnt to defend myself not deppending of anyone. Here I am with you, but I still need the freedom. You can't tie me to something. If you understand this, we'll be better." Said Harry very seriously.
"The money gives you freedom?" Asked Lily sarcastically.
"You exasperate me sometimes!" Said Harry angrily before he could control his anger, and started to talk again: "The money doesn't matter to me! I'm doing this for fun!"
"What do you mean with that?" Asked his mother completely confused.
"Guess it by yourself." Said Harry storming out of the room.
"Harry wait!" Shouted Lily going behind him.
When she reached to the Hall, Harry had dissapeared and wasn't no where near there. Lily was more confused now: where was he and how had he dissapeared so soon? She checked the Marauder's map and found him a few moments later at the Astronomy Tower.
She began to run there hoping that he wasn't thinking in something hard to do like jumping from there. She couldn't forgive herself if he did it.
"Leave me alone." Said Harry watching the stars without turning to her.
"Why did you come here?" Asked Lily worriedly.
"Needed peace and quietness." Said Harry before he added: "I'm not thinking about jumping, if that's what worries you."
"What did you mean when you said that you do this for fun?" Asked Lily more calmed now.
"Guess it by yourself. I don't have time to explain things that should be obvious to you." Said Harry angrily.
"Enlighten me, because I don't understand nothing." Said Lily going to where her son was.
"Remember all the stories I told you about my home, my life and my change of actitude from there to here and you'll get the answer. See you tomorrow, I'll go to sleep." Said Harry leaving the tower in silence without waiting answer from his mother.
Lily returned to her quarters thinking in his words and everything else. After his last words, everything began to click in her head: here was a Harry's version like it could be if he didn't grow with her sister: the prankster, the joker, someone who did the things for fun. Not the hero that was considered in his Universe, a normal wizard teen that didn't have to worry about anything else but the School.
She cursed herself for not seeing it before and promised to change her actitude. Instead of helping him, she was causing more problems. And that was the last thing that he needed in that moment. Instead of being part of the solution, she had became part of the problem. It took her a long while to fall asleep that night.
"What happened with mom?" Asked Mary to Harry when the boy returned to the Tower a while later. In that moment, the Common Room was empty and they were the only ones there.
"Don't want to talk about it." Said Harry flatly sinking in a armchair.
"What's going on between you 2, Harry? I don't understand anything of this." Said the girl worriedly.
"Neither do I, Mary, neither do I." Said Harry with a sad tone before he went to sleep.
While he was laying on his bed unable to sleep, Harry began to think in evertything. He tried to find a reason to his mother's anger and failed miserably. He was sure that he wasn't doing anything illegal. Couldn't Lily see it? Wondered the boy many times.
Nearly 3.30 he fell asleep decided to go on with his fun. He needed it, here he wasn't a saviour like in his own Universe. The matter was that his mother couldn't see it.
****
"Are you ok? You look very tired." Said Paul when his brother went to breakfast the next day.
"Didn't sleep well." Said Harry checking his schedule and seeing that his first class was Ancient Runes.
"I take it too. Wait 5 minutes and we go together." Said Dean when Harry asked if anyone could show him the way to that classroom.
"Sure and thanks." Said Harry with relief. The other boy nodded and went on talking with Seamus.
"We have a few quills! After dinner, we'll give them to you!" Said Katie suddenly with a big grin.
"Ok. If anyone wants a teddy bear with a special design, write it in a paper and give it to me when you see me in the Common Room." Said Harry to the rest of the House before he stood and went with Dean to class.
"You'll get a lot of money with those bears, mate!" Said Dean laughing when they left the Hall.
"Wait till Cristmas and Valentine's then! I'll have a lot of work for those days!" Laughed Harry before he asked him about the teacher and what they had studied the previous years.
"Our teacher is a woman, she's young, must be 19 or 20 years old. She's french and is really hot!" Said the boy with a look of love to their teacher.
"What's her name?" Asked Harry curiously when both of the entered to the classroom.
"My name is Fleur Dellacour. I guss that you are Harry Potter my new student." Said a young woman listening the chat between the teens and going to them.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Miss Dellacour." Said Harry with a smile looking the Veela that was in the Triwizard Tournament of his Universe the last year.
"I must congratulate you, Mr. Potter. You are the first boy in this class that doesn't fall in love with me when they see me." Said Fleur with a big smile.
"Are you a Veela by any chance?" Asked Harry in a whisper, knowing the answer.
"I'm part. How did you know it?" Asked the Professor confused.
"I have my ways." Said the teen misteriously before he added: "Your enchant doesn't work with me. That's why I don't have the reaction of the other students."
"That's something impressive." Said the french girl with a new smile before she began to teach the lesson.
Harry learnt very soon that Fleur knew a lot on that subject and was an excellent teacher. In the class, they began to study Runes of south american countries. That day, they began with the Maya's civilization, culture, history, piramids and their Jeroglyphs.
Although he hadn't taken that lesson never before in his life, it was easy for him. He earned many points for talking, along with Dean, about the history behind the discovery and conquest of America by the europeans' countries. They knew so much about this thanks to the Muggle education that they had had before Hogwarts.
The rest of the class, along the Professor, were impressed with their knowledge in the subject. The other students were in the most pure-bloods and had never learnt about Muggle History.
"I want an essay of 2 parchments about their culture for our next class. Mr. Potter, Mr. Thomas, after seeing your knowledge, it won't be necessary for you to present it. Class dismissed!" Said Fleur when the bell was heard and indicated the end of it.
"Nice class! Everyone got schoolwork except both of us!" Laughed Dean when he and Harry went to History of Magic.
"The best one that I got till now." Agreed Harry taking his seat and began to listen Binns talking about the wars between the Goblins and Humans in the 16th century.
As usual, most of the class was sleeping. The only one who was taking notes was Harry. In his Universe, he had Hermione who always did the job. Here he had to do it himself. Binns was as boring as Harry's Professor. He couldn't believe that he stayed awake the whole class.
"How did you do to stay awake?" Asked Seamus to Harry with a yawn when the fifth year students left the classroom to go to lunch at the Great Hall.
"Experience with teachers like him." Laughed Harry in a misterious tone.
When they reached to the doors of the Hall, Lily was waiting for them. Harry sighed, she was obviously waiting for him. He told the others to go in without him and followed Lily.
They went to the kitchens where the House elves looked surprised by their presence. Lily told them that they wanted a little of food for both. The little creatures nodded and gave them a tray with sandwiches. Mother and son left the place and went to the Professor's quarters where they sat and began to eat.
"What's wrong now?" Asked Harry after a few minutes of silence.
"Just wanted to say that I'm sorry. I guess that I didn't see the things with your point of view. Realized that I gave you problems instead of help. Don't know what was happening to me these days." Said Lily sheepisly.
"It was time to realize it." Said Harry with a sad smile.
Before Lily could answer to that, Harry put a hand over his scar. It had been a single moment, but it hurted again. Harry was completely confused. He knew very well what it meant: Voldemort was near or he was angry.
"What's wrong?" Asked Lily worried watching her son intently.
"Nothing, I just forgot something." Lied Harry who didn't have intentions to tell his mother the truth.
"Are you sure?" Asked the woman not believing completely what he had said.
"Yes, don't worry." Said the teen trying to assure his mother. She didn't believe him completely, but decided to drop the matter and changed it quickly to the classes.
****
For the next week, Harry had sold many teddy bears to his housemates. After a while, the word of this was spread and students from other Houses wanted to buy too. He had created another 15 that were the models to sell to everyone. He had made another 10, but those ones were especially asked by students.
His scar hadn't hurt again and this had him confused. Why had it hurt that day? Was Voldemort near or in this Universe? If he was, why didn't he made knowledge of that fact? Something was wrong and Harry was confused. He kept that fact for himself. He didn't want to worry the other in case it was a false alarm.
The classes were ok for him. James decided, after his first class with his son, that they would never duel against each other. He couldnt take more hummilation. The picture of the result of the duel, was sold very well among students and teachers too, this last for James' dismay.
Lily had began to teach about Gryffins. Harry tried to get sa much information about this animal as he could. Especially because one of his forms was that animal.
The training with McGonagall in Animagus was rather easy. He had started with the Hawk. It was one of his favourites forms. He wanted to know the feeling that gave you flying alone without a broom. It was like making true the dream of flying alone.
In Runes they went on with Americans' Indians Languages. In charms they were still learning about cleaning charms. In Herbology they went on with the Luparia. Binns was teaching about the Goblins wars. In Astronomy theye were studying the most distant planets of the System.
But Harry was having problems with something. Or, best said, someone: Draco Malfoy. The blonde was choosen as Prefect and decided to use of his duties. He took points of the other Houses without reason saying stupid reasons to do it. But Malfoy never did it in front of a teacher or another Prefect. He knew that he'd loose his badge for this "use" of it.
"Isn't there anything that we can do about this?" Asked Dean to Padma one day, after loosing 30 points without apparent reason.
"We'll wait till McGonagall chooses the Prefects from us. Then, we'll take revenge." Said Harry to his yearmates with an evil and misterious tone of voice.
"What are you planning?" Asked the other boys anxiously.
"You'll know soon." Said Harry before he went to speak with Alicia. Harry told her everything about Malfoy's use of the badge and asked her an advice to remove his status as one.
"You have to trick him in a way so he could act like that in front of any of the Prefects or the Teachers. Wait till McGonagall chooses the one between the boys of your year." Said the Head Girl after thinking a few moments.
"The problem is that he never does it in front of them." Said Harry with anger.
"If I see it, I'll ask to the other Prefects and Teachers to remove his right to be one. Cedric will do it too." Said Alicia refering to the Head Boy of that year.
"We'll have to wait till Monday then." Said Harry with a sigh before he turned his atention to create a new Bear. It was his only way to distract himself of any problems.
****
That Monday after the Class with McGonagall, the teacher called all the boys saying that she needed to speak with them. All of them knew that it was about the Prefect's Badge and waited anxiously to know who would be it.
"After these 2 weeks of Classes and taking in consideration all your work in the classes, points earned and lost, I have decided the the Prefect will be Mr. Potter." Said Minerva giving the Badge to Harry who had a big and proud smile in his face.
None of the other boys looked surprised at all with this. Harry had won more points for Gryffindor that all of them combined; was an excellent student; didn't have any probles with his Housemates; helped younger students if they needed asistance in any subject; was responsible with the Schoolwork and many other good things could be said of him. They really doubted that the fact that he was nephew of 2 teachers had inclined the decision of their Head of House to choose him. If there was something that Minerva McGonagall never did, it was show any kind of favouritism to any of her students, no matter which was his or her House.
"Congratulations, mate!" Said Dean clapping his back when they left the Classroom to go to Care of Magical Creatures.
"You were the best choice." Agreed Neville reaching to Hagrid's Hut.
Lily smiled to the group and caught sight of Harry's Badge. She sent him a smile of proud before she began with the Class. Like the other boys, she wasn't surprised at all with this fact. But she was worried about the reign of terror that would start at the School now that her son would be able to play pranks again.
"Congratulations!" Said Lily hugging Harry when the class was over.
"Thanks. Now, I have a little mission to do." Said Harry with evil grin thinking in Malfoy.
"Wreak havoc now that you can play pranks once more?" Asked Lily with fear in her voice.
"That one can wait a few days. The one that I have in mind, can't." Said the teen seriously before both of them went to the Hall for lunch.
"Congratulations!" Said Mary hugging her brother when he sat down to eat.
"Dean told us about it." Said Paul with a smile to his brother.
"Thanks to both of you." Replied the boy with a smile before he turned his atention to Alicia and began to talk about a plan to trick Malfoy and make him loose his badge.
Their friends and yearmates heard this with atention and agreed to help them with that. All of them had had problems with him and hated him completely. If they could make hin loose his rights as Prefects, they would do it without any doubt.
****
Their plan was easy: let Malfoy act in his usual way. But this time they had prepaired something else. It would be near a classroom where the teacher would listen him. Lily and James, along McGonagall and Sinistra, Head of Slytherin would be there. They had also convinced Cedric to be there. The more people was there, the better.
Alicia would with the teachers, and Harry would not wear his Badge. If it happened, Malfoy wouldn't fall in the trick and it wouldn't work.
That Wednesday, Harry along the twins and Katie and Angelina "walked" straight to Malfoy, who was as usual with his groonies, Crabbe and Goyle. Fred "cassually" crashed with him making the blond fall to the floor.
"Sorry, I didn't see you." Apologized the twin helping him up.
"Very funny, Weasel." Said Malfoy getting up angry.
"We didn't see you." Said Fred before he turned his atemtion to the others and began to say something when the Slytherin talked.
"Do you think that this is funny? Fool, Weasley. I'm a Prefect and now your little Head Girl isn't with you here." Smirked the Prefect before he turned to his friends: "What do you think, Greg? Should I take 50 or 100 points? Just for bothering."
The other boy smirked like an idiot, along the other teen. The group of Gryffindors smiled to themselves, they were doing the job very well. The blonde was doing what they wanted.
"Really, Malfoy? 100 hundred points just for crashing to you?" Asked Harry playing the game along his housemates.
"That would be another 50 points, Potter. You can do nothing." Laughed Malfoy showing his badge.
"Actually, there is something I can do." Said Harry taking his badge from his robes and showing it to the other boy.
"I'm sure that they can do something too, right Fred?" Asked George to his brother with an evil grin.
"Goodnight, Professors Potter, McGonagall and Sinistra." Said the other twin greeting the teachers.
"Hi Alicia, hi Cedric." Greeted Katie to the Head Girl and Boy.
"Goodnights to all of you, guys." Said Cedric with a smile.
Malfoy turned around and saw the Professors and both Head students. His face was priceless. He had lost all the colour of it and was completely paled. He saw the bluff too late. He knew that he was lost and his Badge was too.
"Come with us, Mr. Malfoy." Ordered very seriously the Head of Slytherin. The Prefect nodded gulping and followed the 4 Professors.
The other students burst out in laughter when the 5 left the place. Everything had worked perfectly and Malfoy was going to loose his Badge. It couldn't have been better.
"From now on the things will get better." Said Alicia when the laughter stopped.
"I agree with that." Said the other students at the same time.
"I hope that the new Prefect won't act like him." Said Cedric hopefully.
"After what has happened to Malfoy, I really doubt it." Said Harry when the 7 went down to dinner with big grins in their faces.
****
"When will you start with the pranks again, Harry?" Asked Paul to his brother a few days later the incident.
It had been almost a week since Harry had got the Badge and 3 days since Malfoy lost his one. Slytherin lost 200 points for this and the other Houses got back the ones removed by Malfoy when he was a prefect.
"Get the twins, Mary and the Girls. I have something in mind." Said Harry with an evil grin to his brother who did it quickly.
"What are you planning this time, my dear friend?" Asked George when the 8 students sat down in the armchairs.
"Like you know, I haven't played any prank since our first day here. For my return, I won't play any common prank:" Said Harry to the others with a evil smile.
"What are you planning to do?" Asked the other anxious.
"The complete havoc." Harry's grin only grew wider.
"What is it?" Asked all of them again at the same time.
"What happens when 2 people throws food to each other at the Hall?" Asked Harry inocently.
"A food fight!" Exclaimed the Twins as if it were a normal thing.
"Now, what happens when a WHOLE table starts throwing food to the other tables?" Now Harry evil grin was a big as his own face.
"The biggest havoc of all!" Said all of them at the same time understanding Harry's idea.
"Exactly! We'll begin a little fight among us, the rest of the Table will join us, and you can guess the rest." Said the Prefect smiling like a cat in front of a canary.
"Let's convince the other students!" Said the Twins and Paul at the same time getting up from their chair and going to do their mission.
The whole House agreed with it and decided to play it too. They were told that they had to wait till the group of players began it. Everyone was reay for it when they went to dinner that night.
"Something's going to happen tonight." Said James suddenly to the other teachers watching the group of the player of the GryffindorTeam eating with big grins, especially Harry, Paul and the Twins.
"What do you mean?" Asked his wife looking to the group too.
Before James could answer the question, Harry threw food to Fred and the twin sent it back. 10 seconds later the whole Gryffindor table was in the fight. Less than 2 minutes later the 4 Houses were in the food fight.
"That's what I meant." Said James before he was hit with a salad threw by Harry.
"GET THE TEACHERS!!!" Shouted many of the students turning their targets from the other Houses to the Professors.
In the Hall was reigning the COMPLETE chaos. The students and teachers were trying to defend themselves from the food threw by the others. NOBODY was safe of the fight.
Harry found his favourite target with the teachers: besides his father, he hit McGonagall with a pie, Sirius with icecream, and Dumbledore with a cake. He was like a little child in a dreamland of fun. His mother was the only relative that wasn't hit.
After 30 minutes, the Professors were able to get control in the Hall again. All of them shot angry and bewildered looks to the group of Gryffindors responsible of the chaos. All of the said students smiled inocently before they returned to their Tower to sleep.
Whe Harry took off his robe, it was completely dirty with food. He laughed before he changed to his pj and went to sleep. After 5 minutes, he was sleeping soundly.
"Do you sell teddy bears now?" Asked curiously Katie to Harry the next morning when the group went to breakfast.
"I created one yesterday at Transfiguration and I sold a copy to Alicia and McGonagall. My Aunt wasn't very happy with the sale to the Professor." Shrugged Harry a little remembering his mother's reaction.
"Will you create more?" Asked Angelina interested, listening his words.
"If I get more quills, sure. Maybe I'll start using other things. For now the quills are my things. Do you have old ones to give me?" Asked Harry to his teammates.
"Give us a few days and we'll get you a few ones." Answered Katie with a smile while Angelina nodded.
"Before I forget, 5 Sickles the bear. And I get a copy or the original of all of my creations." Said the boy after thinking a little.
"Got it!" Exclaimed the girls before they turned their atention to the food.
"Making business with the students now?" Asked sternly Lily going to her son. James and Sirius were with her.
"You told me that I shouldn't do them with Professors. You didn't say nothing about students." Said Harry with an inocent smile to his parents and Godfather.
"Whatever." Said the woman roling her eyes, before she added in a serious tone: "We Wish to talk with you."
Harry checked his schedule and saw that his first class was his father's. Harry sighed deeply and followed them to James' Office. He suspected that this meeting was about his training and not asking help to them.
"What's the matter with you 3?" Asked the teen sitting in a chair looking to the adults with a smile.
"What's your form?" Asked the 3 of them at the same time with anxiety in their voices.
"I'm sorry to dissapoint the 3 of you, but I don't have a form..." Began Harry but James exclaimed.
"You don't have any form??" Said the man shocked and horrified with the news.
"Let me finish and don't interrupt!" Said Harry hitting his father at the head.
"Sorry, continue." Said James rubbing his head.
"Like I was saying, I don't have a form, I have 5." Said Harry with a wide grin in his face.
"YOU HAVE 5 ANIMAGUS FORMS?????" Asked the adults shouting at the same time completely shocked with the news.
"Yep, they are a Dragon, a Phoenix, a Tiger, a Gryffin and a Hawk." Said Harry counting the forms with his fingers.
"Are you kidding?" Asked Sirius without recovering himself from the shock.
"Nope. McGonagall did the charm on me, and my shadow showed those animals." Explained Harry with a proud smile.
"I don't understand why those forms." Said Lily confused and curious, trying to pass the initial shock.
"I can think 3 of them. The Hawk is easy: When I play Quidditch, I'm like one. The Phoenix is obvious: like one, I always reborn from the ashes of every problem. The Dragon is the strenght and power. I'm like one in those points too. I don't have any clue about the Tiger and the Gryffin." Said Harry thinking a little.
"I can answer the Gryffin. It's because your inheritance. Both of us, and Mary and Paul too, are heirs of Godric Gryffindor. The name Gryffindor means "Gryffin of gold" in french." Said James seriously looking to his son.
"I'M WHAT??????" Asked Harry shouting not believing what his father had said.
"Didn't you know it?" Asked Lily in confussion. The other 2 adults felt the same.
"No. Dumbledore didn't tell me. I guess that's why..." Said Harry thinking in the unanswered question in the chat between he and his granfather during his first year at the Hospital Wing.
"Why what?" Asked the adults confused.
"Nothing, nothing." Said Harry waving his hand dismissing the matter.
Harry began to think in everything, and he began to conect ideas. The sword in his second year. He didn't take it from the Sorting Hat because he was a member of the House, it was because he was the heir of the School's founder. He guessed that the ability of being Multi Magus was conected to that fact too. And Voldemort being the Heir of Slytherin explained the hate and the wish to kill his father and him.
"Are you ok?" Asked Lily concerned after 10 minutes of silence bringing Harry back from his own thoughts.
"Yes, I was thinking in a few things." Said Harry before he asked: "Is there something else that I can do? I mean besides being Multi Magus."
"Wandless Magic." Said James pointing his hand to a vase and summoning it easily.
"That explains all the accidents." Thought Harry to himself, remembering everything that had happened when he was a child: the misterious happening that anyone could explain, the glass in the zoo in Dudley's birthday, the blow up of Aunt Marge. He stopped thinking when he felt that his head was in the middle of a whirlwind.
"We'll continue this chat later." Said Lily when the bell that indicated the beggining of the classes was heard.
"Sure." Said Harry going to the Classroom and sitting in the front row as in his own Universe, while Sirius and Lily left to go their classes of the morning.
"Are you ok?" Asked James concerned and worried.
"Confused. I feel as if my head is in a whirlwind." Answered the teen after a few moments.
"I felt it too when I was told." Laughed James.
"What shall we do in class?" Asked Harry changing the subject quickly.
"Dueling. It'll be funny do it against you. You still owe me one for the stunning." Said James with a groan remembering when they had met here for first time.
"Are you sure of it?" Asked Harry with an evil grin.
"Yes, I am." Said the Professor with a grin that rivalized his son's one.
"Let's have our duel at the end of the class. It'll take a while." Said Harry watching the rest of the students of Gryffindor and Ravenclaw enter in the classroom in that moment.
"Good morning, kids. Today we'll have dueling again. In this class, you'll duel against me using the charms seen in the previous year for dueling and others that you have seen in the other classes." Explained James to the students.
"Rules of the duels?" Asked Terry Boot from Ravenclaw raising up his hand.
"You can do everything except the Unforgivables." Explained James going to the center of the room that would be used for dueling.
Harry sat in the floor and began to watch the duels. Most of the students didn't last more than 10 minutes. Some of them were defeated a few minutes after the beggining of the duel. The one that lasted more was Terry Boot. It took James almost 30 minutes to defeat him. He was really good at it.
"Let's begin." Said James bowing to Harry when it was the teen's time to duel.
"Quietus!" Shouted Harry pointing his wand to his father's throat.
The spell hit James with full strenght. The adult tried to speak but no word left his mouth. He realized that he was dead. He couldn't say the counter curse to the charm and if he couldn't speak, Harry had free way to do whatever he wanted. James watched Harry's face and saw a big and evil grin on his face.
"You are a dead man, Prongs!" Said Harry before he pointed his wand to his father before he threw 5 differents charms towards him. The first one was full body bind, the second one to dye the hair, the third to change his robes, the fourth added earrings to his ears and the last one made his hair grow to the hips.
Everyone burst out in laughter when he finished his work. Now, James had pink hair that reached to his hips, had bug and ugly golden earrings and had woman's dress robes in color orange.
Harry said the counter curse to the full body bind and made appear a mirror and handed it to his father. James watched his image and had an horror look in his face. He looked horrible.
"FLASH!"
Everyone turned their atention to Harry who had a camera in his hand and was pointing it to James. Harry was laughing at his father's face and had a big evil grin in his own face.
James shot his son a look that said: "Return me to the normalcy NOW."
Harry smiled and said the counter curses to make everything dissapear. A few moments later, the Professor had his normal image. When he tried to speak, he couldn't say nothing and looked Harry and sent the same message again.
"You ruin my fun, you know?" Said Harry with a big sigh before he shot the counter curse.
"I'll kill you for this." Said James to his son in a whisper, before he turned to the class: "He did something that I've never seen in a duel and that turned to him. He casted a silencing charm on his opponent. It was risky, but worked very well. 30 points for Gryffindor, Mr. Potter. Class dismissed!" Exclaimed James clapping his hands to signel the end of the lesson.
Everyone took their bags and left the classroom chatting excitedly about the duel between Harry and the Professor, the charms and the look of James when Harry had done his job. Many of them asked a copy of the picture to Harry. The boy, seeing another business that would leave some money to him, said that it would cost a Sickle. All of them said that they would pay for it. Harry smiled and began to walk towards Charms, his next class, with the other Gryffindors.
In Charms, they learnt about cleaning charms. They were really easy and everyone got points for them. Harry, who found this class as easy as Transfiguration, got them before anyone and earned 40 points for Gryffindor.
When Harry sat for lunch, he saw that his father was looking at him with a murderous look in his face. Harry sent him a sweet smile to him and started to talk with Katie about the bears.
"Maybe I'll ask you one, but I'll tell you how I want it. I guess most of them, you'll create them with your ideas, right?" Said the Chaser while the group was eating.
"I don't have problems with that. I've told you my condition: I keep a copy if someone asks one with their likes, the original goes for that person. If I create it alone, I sell the copy." Explained Harry with a smile. Katie nodded and went on eating.
"What are you talking about?" Asked Fred confused listening his teammates' chat. Many other students were confused too,
"Harry began a business selling teddy bears. 5 Sickles each one." Explained Alicia showing the one that she had bought him the previous night.
"Cool!" Said Mary watching the bear.
"If you want one, get a quill or something soft and I create more. My last one was used to make the original bear of that one." Said the teen pointing the little bear.
"That's why you aunt was angry yesterday, right?" Asked George remembering the scene that happened the previous night.
"She got angry becuase I sold the first copy to McGonagall. She didn't like very much that detail." Shrugged Harry.
"Why those details?" Asked a first year girl watching the bear.
"The book and the fur are because of my best 2 best friends. He's a redhair and she is a bookworm. The glasses and the lightning are because of me." Explained Harry showing his scar in the forehead. When everyone had seen it, he continued: "the cigarrette and the jacket are because I wanted to add them. Nothing in special."
"Cool!" Said someone listening his words.
"If any of you wants teddy bears, they cost 5 Sickles. In a week I'll create more." Said Harry before he turned their atention to the food again.
The rest of the members of the table began to talk excitedly and many of them liked the idea. Suddenly, Mary elbowed her brother and pointed to the High table. Lily looked him with a face that clearly said that she didn't like that idea very much. Harry ignored it completely and went on eating. Needless to say, Lily was completely bewildered by this.
"What's wrong, Lily?" Asked Albus to his daughter curiously.
"Harry began a business selling teddy bears to the students of the School." Said Lily to the old Wizard pointing to the Gryffindor Table where many students were watching the bear.
"Interesting. I wonder how much do they cost." Chuckled Albus with his eyes full of joy.
"Albus!" Said Lily not believing his words.
"Lily, it isn't ilegal. Nowhere in the rules of the School says that a student can't sell things to others. And Teddy Bears aren't things that you could consider dangerous." Said Albus with a smile.
"What's dangerous with Harry, is dueling with him!" Exclaimed James listening the Headmaster's words.
"What happened?" Asked Sirius with a mischievious grin.
"We dueled. You'll never guess which was his first spell." Said James in a misterious tone.
"The dissarming?" Asked Minerva. James shook his head.
"The Stunning?" Suggested Albus. Another shook.
"Full body bind?" Said Lily curious. Another shook.
"Which one?" Asked Sirius completely confused.
"The silencing charm. He casted one in me." Said James not happy with the memory.
Sirius burst out in laughter when he heard that. Lily soon joined him in the laughter. Albus and Minerva chuckled imagining what had happened. All the other teachers and the students looked at them strangely for 5 minutes before the 4 adults stopped their laugh.
"Oh God, that's a good one!" Said Sirius in a teasing tone to James.
"What did he do after that spell? I'm sure that he did something to you and your look wasn't... normal at the end." Said Dumbledore with his eyes twinkling with joy.
"Ask him a copy of the picture." Said James before he stood up and left the Great Hall shooting his son a murderous look.
"What picture?" Asked the adults curious with his words.
****
After lunch, Harry and the rest of the fifth years students of Gryffindor went to the Dungeons. They had Double Potions with Slytherin. Harry went to the half of the classroom and took his elements and waited for Sirius to begin the class.
"Ok, everybody, today will begin with Veritaserum," Started Sirius with the class a few moments later, "Can anyone tell me what is it used for?"
"It's a potion's truth. 3 drops are enough to make you reveal all your secrets." Said Harry remembering Snape's threaten of last year in one of his classes.
"10 points for Gryfindor, Mr. Potter. These are the ingredients that you'll need to do it." Said Sirius before he started to write the recipe in the blackboard.
Harry found it very easy an his Potion was perfect. When he finished it, he turned his atention to Neville who was having a lot of problems with it.
"Some things never change." Thought Harry smiling to himself while he helped his yearmate in his Potion.
The rest of the class went without accidents of any kind, except Crabbe almost making explode his Potion, but was saved by Sirius to controlled it in time to prevent an accident. During the class, Gryffindor earned 25 points thanks to their Potions and the good results of them. Slytherin lost 25 due to a few mistakes of their students.
"Mr. Potter, I need to speak with you for a moment." Called Sirius to his Godson when the students were leaving to go to their next class, Herbology.
"What's up, Sirius?" Asked the teen confused and tired of being called after class for 2 days in a row.
"Can I see the picture?" Asked Sirius with a mischievious smile.
"Pay 1 Sickle and you have the copy." Said Harry with a grin like Sirius' one.
"Do you sell everything now? First the Teddy Bears and now the picture?" Asked Sirius in dibelief paying the money to Harry.
"I'm a man of business, Padfoot." Laughed Harry giving the copy to his Godfather and going to the hothouse where he had his next class with Sprout.
In Herbology they studied the Luparia. Harry knew that it was used to make the Wolfbane Potion. He knew this because Remus used to drink it in Universe.
The bad feeling returned when he thought about the Sirius and Remus of his home and another question jumped in his mind: Did he want to return there or he would like to be in this one forever?
Harry didn't know the answer, but he knew something, while he was here, he would get as much fun as he could. He deceided to think the less he could about his home and put his atention in this one.
"Hey Harry, what's wrong? The class has finished!" Said Dean snapping his fingers calling Harry's atention.
"Sorry, I was a little distracted. Let's go back to the School." Said Harry going to the castle again.
"Do you miss your home?" Asked the muggle-born wizard after walking a few moments in silence.
"A lot. I miss especcially my 2 best friends. It's like if something of me is missing." Said Harry with a sad smile.
Dean nodded and dropped the subject to change it quickly to Quidditch. They went on talking about it till they reached to the Great Hall for dinner almost 1 hour later.
While they were eating, Harry saw that Sirius was showing the picture to a few teachers. All of them were laughing. The only one who wasn't, was James who didn't look happy with that. In a moment, Lily put her head in her hands and shook it a few moments before she shot Harry a not happy look. The teen realized that Sirius had mentioned the price.
"What do you sell this time?" Asked the groups of players and his brother to Harry, understandig Lily's reaction.
"Oh, just this. 1 Sickle each copy." Said Harry giving them a copy of the picture with an evil grin on his face.
"I Want a copy!" Exclaimed the twins, Mary and Paul at the same time realizing what the picture was and who was on it.
"1 Sickle." Said Harry putting his hand on the table.
"I'll give it in the Tower." Said the 4 of them at the same time.
"Come with me." Said Lily to her son in a very angry and serious tone of voice before she left the Hall.
"See you later." Said Harry with a sigh following his mother.
Both of them walked in silence to the Professor's quarters. After giving the Password, they entered and Harry went to his room to see Falcore. He hadn't seen his pet for a few days.
"What's the matter now?" Asked Harry turning his atention to his mother.
"What's going on with you?? First you sell teddy bears and now the pictures!" Said Lily bewildered.
"What's wrong with that? I'm not doing anything illegal. What's the matter if I want to make some money?" Said Harry to his mother exasperated with her position in this subject.
"I don't understand you! If you want money why don't you ask?" Asked Lily trying to control her anger.
"I'll explain this only once. In my universe I learnt to defend myself not deppending of anyone. Here I am with you, but I still need the freedom. You can't tie me to something. If you understand this, we'll be better." Said Harry very seriously.
"The money gives you freedom?" Asked Lily sarcastically.
"You exasperate me sometimes!" Said Harry angrily before he could control his anger, and started to talk again: "The money doesn't matter to me! I'm doing this for fun!"
"What do you mean with that?" Asked his mother completely confused.
"Guess it by yourself." Said Harry storming out of the room.
"Harry wait!" Shouted Lily going behind him.
When she reached to the Hall, Harry had dissapeared and wasn't no where near there. Lily was more confused now: where was he and how had he dissapeared so soon? She checked the Marauder's map and found him a few moments later at the Astronomy Tower.
She began to run there hoping that he wasn't thinking in something hard to do like jumping from there. She couldn't forgive herself if he did it.
"Leave me alone." Said Harry watching the stars without turning to her.
"Why did you come here?" Asked Lily worriedly.
"Needed peace and quietness." Said Harry before he added: "I'm not thinking about jumping, if that's what worries you."
"What did you mean when you said that you do this for fun?" Asked Lily more calmed now.
"Guess it by yourself. I don't have time to explain things that should be obvious to you." Said Harry angrily.
"Enlighten me, because I don't understand nothing." Said Lily going to where her son was.
"Remember all the stories I told you about my home, my life and my change of actitude from there to here and you'll get the answer. See you tomorrow, I'll go to sleep." Said Harry leaving the tower in silence without waiting answer from his mother.
Lily returned to her quarters thinking in his words and everything else. After his last words, everything began to click in her head: here was a Harry's version like it could be if he didn't grow with her sister: the prankster, the joker, someone who did the things for fun. Not the hero that was considered in his Universe, a normal wizard teen that didn't have to worry about anything else but the School.
She cursed herself for not seeing it before and promised to change her actitude. Instead of helping him, she was causing more problems. And that was the last thing that he needed in that moment. Instead of being part of the solution, she had became part of the problem. It took her a long while to fall asleep that night.
"What happened with mom?" Asked Mary to Harry when the boy returned to the Tower a while later. In that moment, the Common Room was empty and they were the only ones there.
"Don't want to talk about it." Said Harry flatly sinking in a armchair.
"What's going on between you 2, Harry? I don't understand anything of this." Said the girl worriedly.
"Neither do I, Mary, neither do I." Said Harry with a sad tone before he went to sleep.
While he was laying on his bed unable to sleep, Harry began to think in evertything. He tried to find a reason to his mother's anger and failed miserably. He was sure that he wasn't doing anything illegal. Couldn't Lily see it? Wondered the boy many times.
Nearly 3.30 he fell asleep decided to go on with his fun. He needed it, here he wasn't a saviour like in his own Universe. The matter was that his mother couldn't see it.
****
"Are you ok? You look very tired." Said Paul when his brother went to breakfast the next day.
"Didn't sleep well." Said Harry checking his schedule and seeing that his first class was Ancient Runes.
"I take it too. Wait 5 minutes and we go together." Said Dean when Harry asked if anyone could show him the way to that classroom.
"Sure and thanks." Said Harry with relief. The other boy nodded and went on talking with Seamus.
"We have a few quills! After dinner, we'll give them to you!" Said Katie suddenly with a big grin.
"Ok. If anyone wants a teddy bear with a special design, write it in a paper and give it to me when you see me in the Common Room." Said Harry to the rest of the House before he stood and went with Dean to class.
"You'll get a lot of money with those bears, mate!" Said Dean laughing when they left the Hall.
"Wait till Cristmas and Valentine's then! I'll have a lot of work for those days!" Laughed Harry before he asked him about the teacher and what they had studied the previous years.
"Our teacher is a woman, she's young, must be 19 or 20 years old. She's french and is really hot!" Said the boy with a look of love to their teacher.
"What's her name?" Asked Harry curiously when both of the entered to the classroom.
"My name is Fleur Dellacour. I guss that you are Harry Potter my new student." Said a young woman listening the chat between the teens and going to them.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Miss Dellacour." Said Harry with a smile looking the Veela that was in the Triwizard Tournament of his Universe the last year.
"I must congratulate you, Mr. Potter. You are the first boy in this class that doesn't fall in love with me when they see me." Said Fleur with a big smile.
"Are you a Veela by any chance?" Asked Harry in a whisper, knowing the answer.
"I'm part. How did you know it?" Asked the Professor confused.
"I have my ways." Said the teen misteriously before he added: "Your enchant doesn't work with me. That's why I don't have the reaction of the other students."
"That's something impressive." Said the french girl with a new smile before she began to teach the lesson.
Harry learnt very soon that Fleur knew a lot on that subject and was an excellent teacher. In the class, they began to study Runes of south american countries. That day, they began with the Maya's civilization, culture, history, piramids and their Jeroglyphs.
Although he hadn't taken that lesson never before in his life, it was easy for him. He earned many points for talking, along with Dean, about the history behind the discovery and conquest of America by the europeans' countries. They knew so much about this thanks to the Muggle education that they had had before Hogwarts.
The rest of the class, along the Professor, were impressed with their knowledge in the subject. The other students were in the most pure-bloods and had never learnt about Muggle History.
"I want an essay of 2 parchments about their culture for our next class. Mr. Potter, Mr. Thomas, after seeing your knowledge, it won't be necessary for you to present it. Class dismissed!" Said Fleur when the bell was heard and indicated the end of it.
"Nice class! Everyone got schoolwork except both of us!" Laughed Dean when he and Harry went to History of Magic.
"The best one that I got till now." Agreed Harry taking his seat and began to listen Binns talking about the wars between the Goblins and Humans in the 16th century.
As usual, most of the class was sleeping. The only one who was taking notes was Harry. In his Universe, he had Hermione who always did the job. Here he had to do it himself. Binns was as boring as Harry's Professor. He couldn't believe that he stayed awake the whole class.
"How did you do to stay awake?" Asked Seamus to Harry with a yawn when the fifth year students left the classroom to go to lunch at the Great Hall.
"Experience with teachers like him." Laughed Harry in a misterious tone.
When they reached to the doors of the Hall, Lily was waiting for them. Harry sighed, she was obviously waiting for him. He told the others to go in without him and followed Lily.
They went to the kitchens where the House elves looked surprised by their presence. Lily told them that they wanted a little of food for both. The little creatures nodded and gave them a tray with sandwiches. Mother and son left the place and went to the Professor's quarters where they sat and began to eat.
"What's wrong now?" Asked Harry after a few minutes of silence.
"Just wanted to say that I'm sorry. I guess that I didn't see the things with your point of view. Realized that I gave you problems instead of help. Don't know what was happening to me these days." Said Lily sheepisly.
"It was time to realize it." Said Harry with a sad smile.
Before Lily could answer to that, Harry put a hand over his scar. It had been a single moment, but it hurted again. Harry was completely confused. He knew very well what it meant: Voldemort was near or he was angry.
"What's wrong?" Asked Lily worried watching her son intently.
"Nothing, I just forgot something." Lied Harry who didn't have intentions to tell his mother the truth.
"Are you sure?" Asked the woman not believing completely what he had said.
"Yes, don't worry." Said the teen trying to assure his mother. She didn't believe him completely, but decided to drop the matter and changed it quickly to the classes.

For the next week, Harry had sold many teddy bears to his housemates. After a while, the word of this was spread and students from other Houses wanted to buy too. He had created another 15 that were the models to sell to everyone. He had made another 10, but those ones were especially asked by students.
His scar hadn't hurt again and this had him confused. Why had it hurt that day? Was Voldemort near or in this Universe? If he was, why didn't he made knowledge of that fact? Something was wrong and Harry was confused. He kept that fact for himself. He didn't want to worry the other in case it was a false alarm.
The classes were ok for him. James decided, after his first class with his son, that they would never duel against each other. He couldnt take more hummilation. The picture of the result of the duel, was sold very well among students and teachers too, this last for James' dismay.
Lily had began to teach about Gryffins. Harry tried to get sa much information about this animal as he could. Especially because one of his forms was that animal.
The training with McGonagall in Animagus was rather easy. He had started with the Hawk. It was one of his favourites forms. He wanted to know the feeling that gave you flying alone without a broom. It was like making true the dream of flying alone.
In Runes they went on with Americans' Indians Languages. In charms they were still learning about cleaning charms. In Herbology they went on with the Luparia. Binns was teaching about the Goblins wars. In Astronomy theye were studying the most distant planets of the System.
But Harry was having problems with something. Or, best said, someone: Draco Malfoy. The blonde was choosen as Prefect and decided to use of his duties. He took points of the other Houses without reason saying stupid reasons to do it. But Malfoy never did it in front of a teacher or another Prefect. He knew that he'd loose his badge for this "use" of it.
"Isn't there anything that we can do about this?" Asked Dean to Padma one day, after loosing 30 points without apparent reason.
"We'll wait till McGonagall chooses the Prefects from us. Then, we'll take revenge." Said Harry to his yearmates with an evil and misterious tone of voice.
"What are you planning?" Asked the other boys anxiously.
"You'll know soon." Said Harry before he went to speak with Alicia. Harry told her everything about Malfoy's use of the badge and asked her an advice to remove his status as one.
"You have to trick him in a way so he could act like that in front of any of the Prefects or the Teachers. Wait till McGonagall chooses the one between the boys of your year." Said the Head Girl after thinking a few moments.
"The problem is that he never does it in front of them." Said Harry with anger.
"If I see it, I'll ask to the other Prefects and Teachers to remove his right to be one. Cedric will do it too." Said Alicia refering to the Head Boy of that year.
"We'll have to wait till Monday then." Said Harry with a sigh before he turned his atention to create a new Bear. It was his only way to distract himself of any problems.
****
That Monday after the Class with McGonagall, the teacher called all the boys saying that she needed to speak with them. All of them knew that it was about the Prefect's Badge and waited anxiously to know who would be it.
"After these 2 weeks of Classes and taking in consideration all your work in the classes, points earned and lost, I have decided the the Prefect will be Mr. Potter." Said Minerva giving the Badge to Harry who had a big and proud smile in his face.
None of the other boys looked surprised at all with this. Harry had won more points for Gryffindor that all of them combined; was an excellent student; didn't have any probles with his Housemates; helped younger students if they needed asistance in any subject; was responsible with the Schoolwork and many other good things could be said of him. They really doubted that the fact that he was nephew of 2 teachers had inclined the decision of their Head of House to choose him. If there was something that Minerva McGonagall never did, it was show any kind of favouritism to any of her students, no matter which was his or her House.
"Congratulations, mate!" Said Dean clapping his back when they left the Classroom to go to Care of Magical Creatures.
"You were the best choice." Agreed Neville reaching to Hagrid's Hut.
Lily smiled to the group and caught sight of Harry's Badge. She sent him a smile of proud before she began with the Class. Like the other boys, she wasn't surprised at all with this fact. But she was worried about the reign of terror that would start at the School now that her son would be able to play pranks again.
"Congratulations!" Said Lily hugging Harry when the class was over.
"Thanks. Now, I have a little mission to do." Said Harry with evil grin thinking in Malfoy.
"Wreak havoc now that you can play pranks once more?" Asked Lily with fear in her voice.
"That one can wait a few days. The one that I have in mind, can't." Said the teen seriously before both of them went to the Hall for lunch.
"Congratulations!" Said Mary hugging her brother when he sat down to eat.
"Dean told us about it." Said Paul with a smile to his brother.
"Thanks to both of you." Replied the boy with a smile before he turned his atention to Alicia and began to talk about a plan to trick Malfoy and make him loose his badge.
Their friends and yearmates heard this with atention and agreed to help them with that. All of them had had problems with him and hated him completely. If they could make hin loose his rights as Prefects, they would do it without any doubt.

Their plan was easy: let Malfoy act in his usual way. But this time they had prepaired something else. It would be near a classroom where the teacher would listen him. Lily and James, along McGonagall and Sinistra, Head of Slytherin would be there. They had also convinced Cedric to be there. The more people was there, the better.
Alicia would with the teachers, and Harry would not wear his Badge. If it happened, Malfoy wouldn't fall in the trick and it wouldn't work.
That Wednesday, Harry along the twins and Katie and Angelina "walked" straight to Malfoy, who was as usual with his groonies, Crabbe and Goyle. Fred "cassually" crashed with him making the blond fall to the floor.
"Sorry, I didn't see you." Apologized the twin helping him up.
"Very funny, Weasel." Said Malfoy getting up angry.
"We didn't see you." Said Fred before he turned his atemtion to the others and began to say something when the Slytherin talked.
"Do you think that this is funny? Fool, Weasley. I'm a Prefect and now your little Head Girl isn't with you here." Smirked the Prefect before he turned to his friends: "What do you think, Greg? Should I take 50 or 100 points? Just for bothering."
The other boy smirked like an idiot, along the other teen. The group of Gryffindors smiled to themselves, they were doing the job very well. The blonde was doing what they wanted.
"Really, Malfoy? 100 hundred points just for crashing to you?" Asked Harry playing the game along his housemates.
"That would be another 50 points, Potter. You can do nothing." Laughed Malfoy showing his badge.
"Actually, there is something I can do." Said Harry taking his badge from his robes and showing it to the other boy.
"I'm sure that they can do something too, right Fred?" Asked George to his brother with an evil grin.
"Goodnight, Professors Potter, McGonagall and Sinistra." Said the other twin greeting the teachers.
"Hi Alicia, hi Cedric." Greeted Katie to the Head Girl and Boy.
"Goodnights to all of you, guys." Said Cedric with a smile.
Malfoy turned around and saw the Professors and both Head students. His face was priceless. He had lost all the colour of it and was completely paled. He saw the bluff too late. He knew that he was lost and his Badge was too.
"Come with us, Mr. Malfoy." Ordered very seriously the Head of Slytherin. The Prefect nodded gulping and followed the 4 Professors.
The other students burst out in laughter when the 5 left the place. Everything had worked perfectly and Malfoy was going to loose his Badge. It couldn't have been better.
"From now on the things will get better." Said Alicia when the laughter stopped.
"I agree with that." Said the other students at the same time.
"I hope that the new Prefect won't act like him." Said Cedric hopefully.
"After what has happened to Malfoy, I really doubt it." Said Harry when the 7 went down to dinner with big grins in their faces.
****
"When will you start with the pranks again, Harry?" Asked Paul to his brother a few days later the incident.
It had been almost a week since Harry had got the Badge and 3 days since Malfoy lost his one. Slytherin lost 200 points for this and the other Houses got back the ones removed by Malfoy when he was a prefect.
"Get the twins, Mary and the Girls. I have something in mind." Said Harry with an evil grin to his brother who did it quickly.
"What are you planning this time, my dear friend?" Asked George when the 8 students sat down in the armchairs.
"Like you know, I haven't played any prank since our first day here. For my return, I won't play any common prank:" Said Harry to the others with a evil smile.
"What are you planning to do?" Asked the other anxious.
"The complete havoc." Harry's grin only grew wider.
"What is it?" Asked all of them again at the same time.
"What happens when 2 people throws food to each other at the Hall?" Asked Harry inocently.
"A food fight!" Exclaimed the Twins as if it were a normal thing.
"Now, what happens when a WHOLE table starts throwing food to the other tables?" Now Harry evil grin was a big as his own face.
"The biggest havoc of all!" Said all of them at the same time understanding Harry's idea.
"Exactly! We'll begin a little fight among us, the rest of the Table will join us, and you can guess the rest." Said the Prefect smiling like a cat in front of a canary.
"Let's convince the other students!" Said the Twins and Paul at the same time getting up from their chair and going to do their mission.
The whole House agreed with it and decided to play it too. They were told that they had to wait till the group of players began it. Everyone was reay for it when they went to dinner that night.
"Something's going to happen tonight." Said James suddenly to the other teachers watching the group of the player of the GryffindorTeam eating with big grins, especially Harry, Paul and the Twins.
"What do you mean?" Asked his wife looking to the group too.
Before James could answer the question, Harry threw food to Fred and the twin sent it back. 10 seconds later the whole Gryffindor table was in the fight. Less than 2 minutes later the 4 Houses were in the food fight.
"That's what I meant." Said James before he was hit with a salad threw by Harry.
"GET THE TEACHERS!!!" Shouted many of the students turning their targets from the other Houses to the Professors.
In the Hall was reigning the COMPLETE chaos. The students and teachers were trying to defend themselves from the food threw by the others. NOBODY was safe of the fight.
Harry found his favourite target with the teachers: besides his father, he hit McGonagall with a pie, Sirius with icecream, and Dumbledore with a cake. He was like a little child in a dreamland of fun. His mother was the only relative that wasn't hit.
After 30 minutes, the Professors were able to get control in the Hall again. All of them shot angry and bewildered looks to the group of Gryffindors responsible of the chaos. All of the said students smiled inocently before they returned to their Tower to sleep.
Whe Harry took off his robe, it was completely dirty with food. He laughed before he changed to his pj and went to sleep. After 5 minutes, he was sleeping soundly.
