Chapter 3 – Explanations and Training
"Well, welcome to Mutant High." Said Bobby and Kurt in unison as Harry and Ron joined them in the rather large
Room
"Mutant High?" asked Harry. "Don't worry" replied Kurt "It's just a nickname for the school. All the student's and teachers are Mutants. Most come here to learn to control their powers, and go to school in a place where they won't be discriminated against." He continued. Suddenly Kurt noticed Ron openly staring at him, Harry noticed that Kurt was starting to look a bit uncomfortable at this and said "Don't worry; I think he's just a bit shell shocked. We've seen a lot worse than you man so you've got nothing to worry about there."
Ron was sitting on one of the bed's looking totally spaced out and still gaping at Kurt. "Hmm, I get the feeling he's not going to snap out of that on his own. Anything either of you can do?" asked Harry. Bobby grinned "Just watch." He said and as Harry watched a snowball started to form in his hand. When it was about the size of a tennis ball he threw it at Ron, well and truly snapping him out of the spaced-ness. At this the three of them began to crack up seeing the expression of shock on Ron's face at being hit by a snowball in mid June.
"Who Threw That?!?" Shouted Ron
"Ron, you were catching flies big time and we had to snap you out of it man." Said Bobby, still Laughing
"Uh, yeah sorry about that Kurt." Said Ron
"No big, man." Replied Kurt. "I'll just go get a couple of sodas and then you can tell us what your powers are." And with a Bamf and a cloud of sulfur, he was gone.
Harry noticed Ron staring again and said "Flies, Ron Flies." This time Ron got the message without the aid of a snowball to the skull. Just then there was a familiar tapping sound in the room, Harry looked over and saw two owl's tapping on the window one of which was his snowy owl Hedwig. Seeing this he went over and opened the window. As he did this Hedwig flew in gracefully and landed on his Shoulder, whilst the other started zooming around the room like a feathery pinball. Now Ron noticed Bobby in a similar state, to the one he was in a few minutes ago.
"Flies, Bobby Flies" Smirked Ron whilst trying to catch the small hyperactive owl. Bobby got the message, just then Kurt bamf'ed back into the room with four cans of soda. He saw Ron jumping around like a mad thing and asked with a look of amazement "What the hell are you trying to do?"
"Catch this bloody idiotic owl!" he grunted, still jumping like a mad thing.
"Why do you want to catch it, to put it back outside or something." Asked Kurt, confused
"No, it's got a bloody letter for me! It's always like this so give me a moment." Said Ron
"Hold on" said Kurt and he watched where the tiny Owl was heading next and teleported to that point in mid air, caught the owl, and dropped onto the bed below him.
"Nice one, mate" Said Ron
Suddenly from where Harry was reading the letters he had been sent there was a shout of joy as he finished reading one that had come from Hogwarts. Ron said "What, What's Happened?" Harry thrust the letter at him and then started to dig through his trunk.
Dear Mr's Potter and Weasley,
Because of your actions at the Department of Secrets alongside Miss Granger, Miss Weasley, Mr Longbottom and Miss Lovegood in exposing the return of You-Know-Who, the ministry has decided to lift the decree for underage wizardry for you and your friend's. As I'm sure you know this will mean although you both have not completed your schooling you will be able to use magic as and when you need to.
Congratulations
Professor McGonagall
Head of Gryffindor House
As Ron finished reading this he let out a similar whoop, realized what Harry was up to and decided to follow suit. As the pair we're searching for their wands, Bobby asked "What the hell are you two doing?", just then there was a shout of triumph from Harry as he came out of the trunk holding what looked like a wooden stick.
"Well, since the both of us are going to be here for a while, we might as well tell you." Just then Ron came up holding a similar stick "Professor Xavier said most mutants like to live in secrecy, well there is a whole portion of society that does just that. Neither of us are actually mutants but we are what you might call gifted" said Harry
"How do you mean gifted? I mean you can't have powers without being a mutant can you" said Kurt
"That is where you are wrong man, Both of us are wizards." Replied Ron. At this the two mutants started to roll on the floor laughing. At this the other two boys looked vaguely annoyed. "So would you like some proof then huh?" asked Harry
"Yes please" choked out the pair on the floor
Harry looked at Ron "Patronus?" he questioned, "Patronus" Ron confirmed. Simultaneously the pair shouted "Expectro Patronum" At this a stag and a white knight erupted from the wands and were standing in front of the two apart from the fact that Ron's Patronus looked slightly different, the sword it was carrying was covered in flames…..
**I Could leave this here but…….. Nah I'm enjoying this too much**
As the two Patroni disappeared Harry asked "What the hell was up with that? What happened to your Patronus Ron", "I have no idea, Harry", he looked at the two mutants and said "I think they believe us now though."
"What the hell was that?" asked Bobby
"That was a Patronus, it's a spell used to drive away Dementors, these are one of the worst things that anyone can encounter. Basically they drain all the happiness out of you and then they will perform the kiss which literally sucks out a person's soul leaving them a vegetable" said Harry, shuddering "Each Patronus is indvidual to the caster as it takes the form of something that the person associates with protection, That's why mine takes the form of a stag as that's the animagus form of my dad." He finished
"So as you can see, whilst we're not mutants we aren't powerless." Said Ron
"What's an animagus?" asked Kurt
"Well an animagus is.." started Ron, but Harry cut him off "Look me and Ron still haven't seen most of this place, so how about we go for a walk and have a look around and we'll tell you what we can. I think a large chunk will be explained tonight by Professor Xavier though."
"S'all good, come on then" said Bobby.
The small group toured through the building including the underground levels where the danger room, cerebro, and other training facilities were located. All the while Harry and Ron explained about the wizarding world, including Hogwarts, Quidditch, and Diagon Alley. Next they started to tell the pair about the first five years that they had spent at Hogwarts and the adventures they had each year. When they reached the control center of the danger room Harry was just finishing talking about his fourth year and the Tri-wizard Tournament when he looked out of the windows and saw two girls fighting in the Danger room below. One was wearing a black and blue uniform and the other was wearing a similar outfit with a yellow trench coat over the top.
The group was looking out into the Danger Room into a scene of the two girls fighting a number of Military personnel. "The reason the holograms look like the military is that when we rescue captured mutants they are often being held by the military for study. The Danger Room can create almost any scenario you can dream up but whilst in there will be no lethal force used." Commented Bobby
Just as Bobby finished talking the scene in the Danger Room disappeared and they saw the two girls waving at them. As the pair walked out of the Danger Room, Ron asked "But how does the danger room do that? All those holo-thingies looked so real."
Harry answered "Ron, wizards aren't the only ones who can create illusions. Muggles can do the same using holograms but usually they don't look as real as that." He looked at Bobby Questioningly
"The Danger Room has a number of droids that project an image around themselves so they can look and feel real to the user, well mostly real." Replied the future X-Man
Just then the two girls from down below walked in and Harry was struck dumb. Up close, Harry discovered the girl in the blue and black uniform was rather attractive. She had brown hair most of which was tied back in a ponytail but with two strands left at the side of her face, and her eyes were a deep chocolate brown. The other girl looked vaguely oriental with short black hair, and sky blue almond shaped eyes.
"Who are the new guys Bobby?" asked Kitty
"These are our new Roommates, Harry and Ron. They're both wizards." Replied Bobby "You guys, these are two of our friends Kitty Pryde" He said indicating the brown haired girl "And this is Jubilation Lee or Jubilee" Finished Bobby.
"Nice to meet you" said Harry, whilst inspecting the floor
"Oh, you're from England." Said Kitty "I love the accent" She Continued
Ron noticed the way Harry was studying the floor and nudged Bobby "He likes her" said Ron. "How can you tell?" asked Bobby "See the way Harry is looking at the floor, well he only gets like that if he likes a girl." Replied Ron. "Ask them to join us going round the building, and stuff." He continued
"Hey do you guys fancy showing these two brits around the place?" asked Bobby
"Sure I'll join the guided tour" Said Kitty
"I'm afraid I'll have to beg off, gotta do some extra training with Logan, so I'll catch you guys at dinner." Said Jubilee
"So where we going next?" asked Ron
"Well you've seen most of the inside of the place so time to go outside" replied Kurt
As the group of friends made their way outside Kitty asked "So what do you mean wizards?", "Well" said Ron "We're wizards in the literal sense as we can both do magic." He finished "And before you ask neither of us are mutants." Added Harry
"So how come you're both here then?" asked Bobby
"Yeah, you never did explain that to us." Added Kurt
"Well part of the reason is that the relatives I have lived with since I was one have basically mistreated me for the first 10 years of my life and have got progressively worse since I started at Hogwarts, until this year when it was discovered that my Mum's other sister was still around and she along with my dad's last surviving friend Remus Lupin and Logan came and got me out of there and we were brought back here. The other reason why we're both here will be explained tonight at dinner." Said Harry
"So who is your other aunt then?" asked Kitty
"Jean Grey" replied Harry
"Wow, she and your mum must have been twins or something." Said Kitty
"They were actually." Answered Harry with a lopsided grin
"Well, can you show us some magic then?" asked Kitty
"Same again?" said Ron, "Oh yes" replied Harry, "On Three. Ready; One, Two, Three". As Harry reached the third count the pair shouted "Expectro Patronum" and the silvery forms blazed forth from the wands, only this time Harry's Patronus had changed as well. Instead of the lone stag as they had seen only an hour ago, three shapes came from Harry's wand; there was the stag but it had company. Alongside it there was a werewolf and a large dog that looked very familiar.
"Moony, Padfoot, and Prongs" Harry said with tears in his eyes but a faint grin on his face
"Who are they?" asked Bobby
"Well Moony is actually Remus's nickname 'cause he's a Werewolf, Prongs was my dad's nickname because his animagus form was a stag, and Padfoot was my Godfathers nickname 'cause he could turn into a huge black dog." Answered Harry
"And Animagi are?" asked Kitty
"Well some wizards are also some born with extra abilities, kind of like mutants and animagus ability is just one possibility. Yesterday we found out that Harry is also a Metamorphamagus; basically he can change his appearance to almost anything once he's been trained." Said Ron
All of a sudden there was a voice in Harry's head "~Harry, Tonks has said that your first training session will be tomorrow at 10am~" sent what sounded like Professor Xavier. Ron noticed Harry's vacant look and asked "What's up Harry?" , "Well Professor Xavier just told me, my first training session for that is tomorrow morning at 10." replied Harry
Bobby Interrupted "Look it's getting on for dinner time, Come on and we can get these explanations and some munch." , "Little hint," he added "Watch out for Logan's cooking." Finished Bobby, grinning.
