Chapter 5 – The Awakening
As the steel door slid up, the same question ran through both boy's minds "~What are we gonna be facing?~"
Once the door had had fully opened the pair apprehensively entered the room. As Harry was looking around the huge dome shaped chamber, Jean's voice came into their minds. "~This is an Escape/Capture – Rescue scenario. Once this starts you will be attacked by deatheaters and you will have to escape them. If you are both captured you must try to escape, but at the same time a group of our students will enter to rescue you. You can be hit by 5 'curses' before you are captured. The only exception to this is the Expelliarmus curse so it is possible you may be deprived of your wands at some point. That's all you need to know, good luck.~"
As soon as Jean finished speaking, their environment blazed to life. The two boys found themselves in what looked like the Three Broomsticks on a Hogsmeade weekend. They were standing at the bar, obviously just about to order drinks, when suddenly there were screams from outside.
"~Here we go.~" thought Harry.
"Yes indeed." Said Ron, neither boy realizing that the redhead had responded to a thought, rather then a spoken comment. "Come on" he continued "Let's go kick some ass," finished the redhead
At this the two boys ran through the door of The Three Broomsticks, outside into the illusion Hogsmeade and landed smack bang in the middle of a full blown deatheater attack on the town. Almost instantly the pair had to duck as a couple of curses shot past, just missing theme. Just as fast as they had ducked, the two gryffindors were up again, an instant after they had gone down. At this the two friends started running and hexing everything that moved; But it couldn't last. After 20 minutes of constant fighting, an Expelliarmus curse hit Ron and his wand was lost. As the figure went to finish the duel with a stupefy that could not be dodged, Ron brought his arms round to protect his head but instead of the curse hitting its target and laying out the redhead, a corona of fire grew around Ron and the stream of Red light that was the stupefy curse splashed harmlessly off him.
Harry, who was fighting on the other side of the street saw the flames engulfing Ron and screamed for help as he saw his best friend being consumed by flames, but what he didn't know was that two people in the building heard this cry.

Professor Xavier was in the huge globe shaped room that housed cerebro. Twenty minutes ago he had heard a faint sentence in his head and as it didn't sound like Jean he had gone down to cerebro with scott to try and find the person it had originated from. Just as Harry called out for a second time he found not one but two indicators that meant there were two awakening mutants in the local area. As the professor narrowed down the location and checked it until there was no possibility for error he removed the headset interface of cerebro and said "Scott, there are two new mutant's….", "Ok Professor, what's the names and location?" Interrupted Scott. The names are Harry Potter and Ron Weasley and their location at the moment is the danger room." Replied Professor Xavier with a twinkle in his eye not unlike that of Albus Dumbledore. As soon as Scott heard this he ran out of the office to find Jean.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Back in the Danger Room:
Harry, who had been distracted by seeing his best friend engulfed in flames, was caught by a stunner from Behind. When he awoke, instead of being in held by Deatheaters in a prison cell as he expected, he was surrounded by several concerned faces which included Ron, Tonks, and someone who looked suspiciously like his mother. As he had just seen Ron consumed by fire and his mum had been dead since that fateful night when he was a year old. Because of this his first thoughts were "~Oh shit, I'm DEAD!~". Almost Immediately there was another voice in his head, that said "~No you aren't dead, and there's no need for language like that young man!~". As the voice said this, Harry's memory started to return; he remembered he was in the U.S. with his mothers twin sister, training to fight and hopefully defeat Voldemort. Slowly Harry saw an older man roll up in a wheelchair; it was Professor Xavier. "Harry, I need to talk with you and Ron as soon as possible" he said.
Very shortly Harry was to be found walking toward Professor Xavier's office alongside Ron and his Aunt and Uncle. As they walked Harry found himself musing about the fact that he never thought he would be calling someone other than the Dursley's by these titles. But, even this was to change soon; if he was to keep up the charade of being the son of Scott and Jean Summers then he would have to start referring to them as mum and dad.
As Harry came to this conclusion the small group was just coming up to the office door of Professor Xavier. Just before the two boys went to open the door, Scott knelt in front of the pair and said "Look, I Know what this is about. This has the potential to change your lives as you know them, but whatever happens we will both be behind the pair of you 100%, 'kay." With that, the door was opened and the group entered the office. Sitting behind the desk was Professor Xavier "I'll be with you in just a second. I'm just giving Ron's parents apparition co-ordinates as this is something they should know as soon as possible."
Seconds later Mr and Mrs Weasley, followed by Professor Dumbledore appeared in the room. As soon as they appeared Mrs Weasley started fussing over the two boys. Whilst this was happening Xavier said "Albus, could you please put up some silencing spells and other wards? This must be kept a secret for now although this will not be for long for reasons that will become clear soon.", "Of course, Charles." Replied Professor Dumbledore. Whilst Dumbledore was putting up the various spell's and wards Xavier said "If you would all like to take a seat, we can get cracking."
There were two couches in the room alone with one comfortable chair. Harry sat on one of them between Scott and Jean and Ron sat on the other with his parents on either side. Because there was no space left on the couches Professor Dumbledore took the single chair.
"Now" Began Charles Xavier "As you know, both Wizards and Mutants are in their way an evolution of man, Wizards being able to control magic and have some special abilities: For example in this room we have Harry, who is a Metamorphamagus and Ron who is a potential Animagus. Mutants, however have some abilities like this and others that are completely out of this world; a good example is Gambit, who can charge inanimate objects with kinetic energy until said object explodes, or Storm who has control over the weather in a localized area" Xavier paused to take a drink of water "Well the reason I have called you all here is that it seems that Harry and Ron have a foot in each world; they are both Wizard and Mutant."
"S-s-so Ron, as well as having the ability to become an Animagus has some other gifts as well that are not magical, but similar to some other wizarding gifts'?" asked Mrs Weasley, nervously. "Yes, Ron is a Pyrokinetic or in Wizarding terms he would be a Fire Elemental. As well as this he has the power of flight." Replied Professor Xavier.
"And me?" asked Harry, intrigued. "You, Harry like myself and your aunt over there are telepathic and telekinetic. Because these gifts are so closely related nature has seen fit to give you a third ability, one that will not need any special training either. You also have a Healing actor, much like Logan's." Answered Xavier.
"Now to make these powers safe to use, the boys must be trained. Like when a young wizard or witch does accidental magic, the same can happen with these abilities, this is what makes the training so important" Said Scott. "What about their magical education, I mean with You-Know-Who on the rise that is very important" Asked Molly.
Harry, who was looking over at Professor Dumbledore noticed that he seemed to be deep in thought and sucking on a lemon drop when suddenly he recognized the twinkle in his eyes that was the sign of a good idea. "How about this?" said Professor Dumbledore, twinkling like mad "Since Harry will be posing as a student from this school anyway, why not set up an exchange program. This way Ron and any other students that need this sort of training could come here and we could send a similar amount of students from here to Hogwarts. I feel that there will be others that will be needing to come here as well. If we setup a timetable so that the students spend a week here, and then a week at Hogwarts. We can then carry this on throughout the year."
"That is a brilliant idea Albus, but I see one small problem in the fact that none of our students are magical" said Professor Xavier. "Now that is where you are wrong Charles. I have here a list of those students from your fine institute that are in fact capable of harnessing magical energy and are able to use it to cast spells wandlessly, they should be capable of using it for almost anything. It is these students I propose we involve in the exchange" Said Professor Dumbledore, whilst passing Xavier a sheet of paper.
At this Harry and Ron looked at each other and they both thought "This is going to be a bloody interesting year."
As the Professor continued, Harry asked "Will the exchange students have to be sorted?"
"Actually, no they wont. We will have them stay in the same house as their counterpart. So you would still be in Gryffindor as Ron would be your counterpart" Said Professor Dumbledore. Visions of being re-sorted into Slytherin were instantly banished from Harry's mind.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Two Hours later found Harry and Ron wandering back to their room in a daze. As they eventually found and stumbled into their dorm Bobby, who was lazing on his bed saw the state that the two wizards were in and asked "What the hell happened to you guys?"
The two friends glanced at each other, and Harry answered "You know how, when we first got here you asked if we were mutants and I said we weren't?"
"Yeah.."
"Well we were wrong" finished Ron
