Chapter 7 –
After the meeting with Professor Xavier and Professor Dumbledore, it was decided that the other three students from the institute would form the group to go to Hogwarts along with 'James Summers'.
The first of the students from Hogwarts to attend the institute would be Ron. This was a necessity, as he needed to learn to control his power.
Once the wizards were done they returned to the dorm, where they were immediately pounced on by Bobby, Kitty, and Jubilee who had all been waiting with baited breath. As soon as the pair entered the room the first word from all of them was "well?" In response Harry changed form into James and said "We're going to Hogwarts!"
With a cheer from the three Americans Harry changed back. After a short, unintentional fireworks display from Jubilee, Harry started to explain that over the summer, He and Ron (And Hermione, when she arrived) would be teaching them what they had learned over previous years with the exception of Transfiguration, which would be taught by Tonks.
The Discussions of what the small group would be learning, and the adventures of Harry and Ron carried on long into the night until Jean sent a message to all those involved to go to Sleep.
-----------------------
The next day, after breakfast the two wizards were dragged off for a medical with Ron protesting all the way, as he had no experience with Muggle medical practices. In the lift on the way down to the level that housed the Danger Room along with the medical centre Jean explained that all newly discovered Mutants underwent a series of tests and examinations done, in order to discover if any physical or physiological changes had occurred. The morning was spent going through a battery of tests, which included eye exams (From this Jean discovered that due to his healing factor Harry's eyesight was slowly correcting), reflex tests and the like.
The last thing in the set of examinations was an X-Ray. Once Harry had explained what X-rays were, Ron laid on the surgical gurney whilst Harry and his aunt ducked behind a lead screen. Ron's X-Ray went through without a hitch, but when Jean looked at Harry's right arm, she saw some strange but very familiar bone structure. As the redhead mentally called Logan, she asked "Harry, have you had any injuries to your right arm in the last three or four years?"
"In second year that arm was de-boned by our Defence Professor, and the bones were re-grown overnight. Our defence professor that year was a fraud, and a fool. At the end of the year I was bitten by a huge Basilisk in the same arm. The only reason I'm still here now is that Fawkes healed me after a moment. Fawkes is a Phoenix, and their tears have incredible healing powers." Answered Harry
"Harry, could you and Ron go and wait in the room down the hall? I want to have a look at these some more before I draw any conclusions." Requested Jean.
After a few minutes, which jean had spent looking at the X-rays of Harry's forearm the feral X-man arrived. As soon as he entered the room Jean asked, "Please tell me this isn't what I think it is?"
After both men studied the x-rays for a few moments, Logan said, "he's got the claws alright, but only in one hand. "
"Logan, you are probably the best person to explain this to Harry, because you have a similar mutation along with the claws. Will you help me explain this to him?" asked Jean
"Sure" replied the feral x-man as the pair walked down the corridor to the room where the two boys were waiting.
Down the corridor in another room, the two wizards were waiting for the results of both x-rays. Ron was anxiously pacing the room whilst Harry was kicked back in one of the chairs. As the two adult mutants entered Harry asked, "What are the results?"
"Physiologically Ron is fine" said Jean "but on you're x-ray we discovered some strange muscle and bone structure in your right arm. We believe it is a set of claws similar to those Logan has in both arms."
Harry fought to remain in control, all his life he had been told he was a freak by Vernon Dursley, because of his magic, and now he had something else that made him stand out from the rest of the crowd. Suddenly Jean interrupted his thoughts "Harry, you are not a freak. All the other people in this building have one wish like you to be accepted. For some like Kurt that will unfortunately never happen but for you that is perfectly possible.", "Anyway" she said out loud "you wont be living as Harry Potter anymore so you wont be in the spotlight as the wizarding worlds savior, or for something that happened 15 years ago. If you end in the spotlight it will be for something you did either on your own or as part of the x-men eventually."
Later, when Harry had got back to his dorm, an owl flew through the window and over to him. When Harry retrieved the letter and saw who it was from, he quietly woke Ron and they both read the letter.
Dear Harry and Ron,
Professor Dumbledore explained to me about where you two are hiding. By a massive coincidence, my parents and I are leaving for a holiday to New York tomorrow and will be staying till the third week of august, so we can see each other.
Yours
Hermione
After reading the letter both boys fell asleep with grins on their faces, the Gryffindor Trio would be together again, before it would become the Gryffindor duet temporarily.
The next day, the two wizards were summoned to a meeting with professor Xavier. Once they were both seated in his office, Xavier said "It is customary for all students here to have a codename related to their powers, as most choose to join the X-Men upon Graduation. You two, along with any others who are part of the wizarding world will be given the option after your newts, possibly earlier dependant on the situation with Voldemort. For now though we need codenames for the pair of you. Ron you will be known as Flame because of your control of fire, and Harry you will be known as Source". Once the professor finished speaking, he slid two sets of dog tags over the desk to the pair of wizards.
"Now tomorrow lunchtime your friend Miss Granger arrives at the airport, I would like you two along with Scott and Jean to meet them, and escort them to where they are staying." continued the Professor. The two wizards picked up and donned the tags, then left the room at a run.
Moments later, the pair burst into the dorm room only to find it empty, apart from a note
H R,
We're down in the danger Room
Ice, Sparks, Ghost, and Elf
As the pair made their way down to the Danger Room, they ran into Scott who said "Follow me guys, I need to give you your uniforms."
The trio walked straight past the danger room and into a room full of stainless steel lockers, and several mannequins behind a glass frontage. The mannequins were wearing leather suits, most with an X across then chest.
Harry's uncle strode over to a wall panel, laid his hand on a palm scanner, and said "Cyclops, L72V6C unlock". A computer voice answered "Access Granted, welcome Cyclops". Scott then pressed two buttons by the wall panel, "We decided, since you two along with a few of the others, are a bit different to the regular students, we decided to give all you guys involved with the exchange program a slightly different uniform for both combat stuff here and at Hogwarts. These have been charmed to be lightweight, well ventilated, etc, etc. They aren't actually leather either". As the two wizards looked closer, they noticed that the uniforms were made of dragon skin, instead of leather. The uniforms consisted of a similar suit to the rest, along with long jacket over the top. "The robe part is mainly for combat flying on brooms, for those who need it. This will make all our people distinguishable in an attack. Now suit up and join the others in the Danger Room." ordered Cyclops.
Five minutes later the two wizards were raring to go, entered the danger room, and found their new friends fighting against a huge force of deatheaters. Almost instantly Harry saw Kitty, about to be overpowered by a likeness of Lucius Malfoy. Harry used his telekinesis to stop Lucius casting what he felt sure would be a crucio, and said "Is this a private party or can anyone join?" Whilst holding his jump and delivering three roundhouse kicks, to the chest, and head of the fake Lucius.
Suddenly Harry saw a flash of silver, as one of the deatheaters cast a spell that meant only one thing; Wormtail. Harry sprinted across the arena, and using a combination of the full body bind, then with a sickening snikt three claws slid out of his right arm. Moments later the silver hand was rolling on the floor and Harry himself had collapsed in a shaking huddle. As soon as Harry had fallen Ron shouted, "End the simulation now!" As Kurt bamfed to the control room and shut down the simulation all the students in the room dashed over to their fallen comrade. Seconds later Jean, Scott, and Professor Xavier entered the room. Jean had felt what was Happening to Harry telepathically along with Professor Xavier.
Jean lifted Her nephew telekinetically and carried him out of the room followed by Professor Xavier. "Give Jean some time to try and help Harry before you all go and crowd round him." said Scott before he followed the two telepaths out.
"What happened there, Ron? Why did that bloke send Harry into such a frenzy?" asked Bobby
"That was Wormtail, better known as Peter Pettigrew. It's his fault that Harry's parents are dead, and that Sirius who was Harry's godfather spent 12 years in Azkaban, and the last 2 and a half years on the run. Since we knew the truth, all Harry wanted was to capture the rat and free Sirius. Sirius died earlier this year, so the only point to capturing the scumbag now is justice or revenge."
"If any of us see this bastard he is going down. We protect our own," growled Bobby. As Ron saw the expression on the face of his new friend, he felt pity for anyone who dared to try and attack any of the x-students.
Review….. Please
I am really sorry about neglecting this fic, but I have had a block on how to continue this from a point. As well as that real life interfered, and is still interfering. I now have one exam left and then I will be finished at college so I will hopefully pass that the first time, especially as it is a bloody expensive exam to take. Apart from all this I have also had ideas for other fics, some of which I would like to persue, so updates will continue to be slow on this, and most probably on all my fics but I will try not to give up on them.
There is definitely no danger of that happening on this as I have the vast majority of the plotline planned but, it will take time.
Here's hoping my readers decide to stay with me as all of you have been utterly brilliant.

P.S. if anyone would care to suggest a chapter name for this please tell me as I am at a loss
P.P.S Any of you who like Smallville please read and review Startling Discoveries by water mage. This is a brilliant crossover with Harry Potter and I for one would really like to see more but it currently is on hiatus. Hopefully with enough reviews we will be able to see more of this world. It is set post G-O-F but has elements of OOTP (Hopefully this will not include the death) . Also if anyone could recommend any good Harry-as-a-werewolf stories to me I would be grateful.
