With lack of memory I fail to question why With perfect sound you bring me down hey I'm not listening

You're through killing me with all your facts and late night therapy

Like "Paul's Boutique" on empty streets

Parked and waiting for lights to turn on for good luck and drunk on your parents' favorite wine All the things I remember...

Were they worth writing down?

Bury me, in memories, of ck1 and tight white tees

Like air guitar, in muscle cars, with "perfect teeth", the way we are... Back in '95 more def than alive I wrote the screenplay to lack of direction

Late night movie dates with girls who skate and I just can't relate

I'm through with school cause I broke the rules

Now I work for the man and I'm drunk once again watching re-runs of night court IB cable TV All the things I remember...

Were they worth writing down?

Bury me, in memories, of ck1 and tight white tees

Like air guitar, in muscle cars, with "perfect teeth", the way we are... Wake Up

Thought that everybody loved me

Wake up

Thought that everybody cared

Wake up

Thought that I might have the strength to carry on

Why!? ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, "SHIT!"

A very beaten and abused Harry Potter found himself thrown against the stone wall again. He sighed and cringed at the pain it caused. He found himself in the training room yet again. He was studying Daito Ryu Aiki- Jujustu. He found he hated the physical parts of his training far worse than the magical.

"Mister Potter." Snape ground out.

Yeah that was another wonderful thing about this, Snape was his teacher.

"Are you renting that space in your head? It could be quite profitable." He stated in an even voice.

"Never miss a good chance to shut up." Harry glared "Why can't you just be nice?"

"I'll try being nicer, Mister Potter, if you'll try being smarter." Snape answered evenly.

"Now Mister Potter what is the first level of Daito Ryu Aiki-Jujustu?" He asked.

"Shoden, where the student learns ukemi (falling and rolling), taisabaki (moving the body), tesabaki and ashisabaki (movements of the hands and feet and legs), defenses against grappling, and defenses against punches, kicks and weapons, such as short and long staffs (tanbo, jo and chobo) and knives and swords (tanto and katana). Techniques are taught to be used from standing, sitting, or lying positions. The first transmission scroll, Hiden Mokuroku, describes the first 118 jujutsu techniques from the Shoden level." He recited off from memory.

"Correct. What is the third level?" He asked.

Harry was starting to have a bad feeling about this line of questioning knowing it would lead to him going into a whole new level of attack and Harry ending up in more pain than usual.

"Okuden. Movements are performed as small as possible. Breathing, reflexes, circles, and timing are used instead of muscles. The techniques are small and fast, and it is not necessary to hold an attacker to throw him or her since the reflexes of the attacker are used against him or her. It is believed that the attacker gets a soft shock, similar to an electric shock, which activates the reflexes, making it easy to manipulate the attacker." Harry recited. "And how about the second level Mister Potter?" He asked while starting to circle Harry. "Chuden. Advanced... jujutsu techniques with large, soft movements, as in Aikido. The actual aiki training consists of a combination of these techniques and those from Shoden. At this level of training some amount of... force is used." He stated nervously. Crap. This was going to hurt, and Harry was right it did hurt. He barely managed to stay standing as Snape flew at him with the grace of a deadly tiger or snake. Harry was pressed against the wall with Snape pulling his arm painfully behind him. "You can't even manage to block one of my attacks?" he asked while letting go. The boy had no natural talent for this and it was going to be a while before he could work his way up to level three. Snape felt confident in the fact that he was ready for level two, but he was going to have to teach potter the basics. He told Potter to stand in front of him. He threw a basic jabbed, which was blocked and returned. Snape easily blocked it and nodded. So it continued on like this for a while. "Very well, you may leave." Snape ordered. Harry nodded and said a clipped goodbye and walked off, no it was more of a stomp, into the crystal room. It was referred to as such for the simple reason that it was made of a malleable form of crystal. He met Nessa. "Harry, I have your robes in your room for my crowning ceremony tonight. It's all there. Afterwards you should sleep because you will begin the full extent of your training tomorrow." She stated in a soft voice with an authoritative undertone. He nodded, bowed, and walked off to his rooms. Yes, ROOMS, plural. He walked into the first room. It held a huge, black, and soft yet firm, training mat for him to practice on as well as a personal gym. He wasn't sure yet if the was a palace or a school, let alone if the people in it were witches, wizards, or something entirely different. The walls were stone like every other wall in the palace. Along the walls were weapons that he would eventually be able to use. He walked on to his bed chamber. Yes, CHAMBER. That was the only word to accurately describe it. He was still getting used to it. The walls were stone with huge tapestries to keep out the cold. The tapestries were pictures of the stars and sky at night and of a place Harry had never seen. There were huge windows that showed a snowy ground to let Harry know they were not in England. It had a huge black king bed in the middle against the back wall. The bed frame was seemingly made of metal that was painted black. It had a black comforter with a silver square on the stitching at the top with black and silver pillows. On top of the bed lay his robes. They were deep red with silver stitching on the sleeves. He decided to take a shower first and walked in to the huge bathroom. It too had stone walls. It had marble sinks and bathtub. The shower was just a regular glass shower. He pulled off his black sweat pants and white T- Shirt slowly. He already hurt from his first work out with Snape. He slowly walked into the shower after turning the water on and letting it heat. He washed and was soon in his robes. He put a temporary eye correcting charm and put temporary dark brown highlights in his hair to give it definition. They showed up just enough, but still looked natural. He had just grown his hair out during the summer and it reached his neck. He walked to the dining hall to eat something, but somehow managed to get lost in the complicated labyrinth that was the Palace of the Ancients. He finally found someone he had not yet met and asked her how to get to the dining hall. She smiled a stunning smile and nodded her head to the right. "It's this way, follow me." She stated in a claming voice. She walked down the right hall. Harry had originally planed to go left. "I'm Harry potter." He greeted, extending his hand. She shook it. "I'm Pitá." She stated in a slightly Brazilian accent. Harry smiled. He was slightly shocked when he heard her speak. "Nice to meet you Pitá." Harry replied. She had bright stunning blue eyes. Her skin was slightly tan and her long black hair fell to her waist in lose curls. She was wearing a white silk dress that had an unearthly look to it. It made her look like a goddess. It was tight at the top the flowed down to the floor loosely from her hips down. They entered the hall that was brightly lit with candles. The palace didn't have electricity. It had on big table that seated about eighty people. It had large comfortable chairs that had a dark wooden frame with red cushions in them. He took a seat at one of the few that were left open and Pitá sat next to him. The food was brought out to them by people. Harry was still confused about whether these people where wizards. What exactly where Ancients and where they magical or human? He pondered these questions as he ate in companionable silence with Pitá. After he finished he waited for her to finish then asked her the question he had been pondering all dinner. "What exactly are Ancients?" Harry questioned. "Oh, um..." She looked around nervously. "If you haven't been told yet I don't think I'm the one to tell you." She answered. "Well it was nice to meet you Harry and I'll be seeing you around." With that she gave a small curtsy and made her exit. Harry sat there dumbfounded. What had he gotten himself in to this time? '''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' '''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' AN: I know it's starting out slow and I haven't updated in a while but it's almost summer time and I've only got three more finals. So after I get back from vacation, both of them, and summer school, and drivers Ed I'll update a lot more often. I will update in between those things to it will just not be as frequent. I still can't decide if I want this to be slash or just regular Hp/hg. I don't know tell me the pairing you want.
