"You saw how he was holding Ginny!" Ron shouted.

"That's because I was showing him the banishing charm!" Hermione yelled back.

"Why would you be showing him a banishing charm?" Ron asked

"That's Harry Potter!" Ginny yelled. Ron had a look of dawning comprehension.

"So, next time should I let her fly into a wall?" Keanu asked as he stood up, rubbing his head. Ron grimaced.

"Sorry, mate, my bad."

Keanu laughed, shaking the dizziness out of his head. "Don't worry about it."

Ron laughed, though halfheartedly. He scratched his head awkwardly.

"Well, I'm, er, going back to the common room," he said, dodging glares from the two girls.

"Good," Hermione muttered when he was gone. She brandished her wand. "Let's do that one again," she said, and pointed her wand at Ginny.

"Erm, maybe we should use a cushion or something, just in case," Keanu said pointedly. Hermione blushed.

Ginny held up a pink cushion, and Hermione preformed the banishing charm. It flew into a box and landed perfectly.

Ginny held up another, explained how to do the charm then Keanu did the same.

Ginny and Hermione led Keanu up to the Gryffindor Common room.

"You can stay here until you're Sorted," Hermione said. She said a password, and entered through a picture of a rather obese woman.

Keanu started toward the picture as well, but Ginny held him back.

"I really like you, Keanu," she said. Keanu blushed. Ginny grabbed the back of his head and pulled him down. Before Keanu knew what was going on, Ginny was kissing him. He wrapped his arms around her, kissing her back. They were still kissing when the picture sneezed. Ginny and Keanu looked and not a moment too soon. The portrait opened and Ron stepped out. He took one look at Keanu holding his sister.

"Let me guess, Summoning charm?" he asked, grinning.

Keanu nodded, trying to find his voice.

"I'm going down to the kitchens to get some food, wanna come?" Ron directed at both of them. Keanu and Ginny politely refused, and Ron started off.

Ginny looked like she wanted to kiss again, but Keanu put his finger on her lips.

"We need to be careful. We got lucky once," he said, and looked to the picture. She was smiling brightly, and Keanu smiled back. It was weird having pictures smile at you. "But we might not get lucky again."

Ginny nodded, downheartedly. She said the password and walked into the common room. Keanu followed. He could have sworn the portrait whispered to him when he walked in

"You're a lucky fellow."


The next day, Hermione and Ginny worked with him on Herbology, Defense Against the Dark Arts, and Astronomy. Astronomy had to wait until dark, but Herbology was easy. It was just studying plants, some with added bonuses, like fanged geraniums. Defense Against the Dark Arts quickly became his favorite class. He got to duel with Hermione and Ginny, and even though he'd been losing, Hermione and Ginny both swore that once he knew more charms and spells, he'd be beating them. DADA, as they called it, also consisted of spells that didn't fall under the category of charms or any other class. He found that these spells came very easily to him, and knew them all by the end of the day.

"You really are trying, aren't you?" Hermione asked. Keanu tried not to smile as he held a shield charm over them and Ginny tried to break through it. "So next time, we'll start on Dark animals, then this is done! Charms is going pretty fast too. I'd say you'd be ready for your OWLs by the end of July."

"A month?" Keanu asked, dropping the shield and dodging a stray charm from Ginny. "I'll be ready for my OWLs in a month?" Hermione had already explained what took place on the OWLs. Ginny had yet to take them.

"I'd say so," Ginny added in, resting on a pillow.

"Definitely, Keanu, you're very advanced." Hermione commended him. "Especially for a fifteen-year-old. I mean , you're already producing a corporeal Patronus!"

Keanu had to smile at this. He had gotten his Patronus, a large golden retreiver, to appear fully after three days. He'd been practicing since he learned of it. Hermione's Patronus, an otter, and Ginny's Patronus, a fleet of garden gnomes, had taken months to perfect, according to them.

"If you want, we can start studying other subjects, like Care of Magical Creatures, Arthmancy, Divination," Hermione coughed at this, "Ancient Runes, and even teaching you to Apperate." Ginny said, counting on her fingers.

"So you can Apperate too?" Keanu asked. Ginny nodded proudly.

"So what do you think about those other subjects?" Hermione asked.

"Well, they all sound pretty good, are you going to teach me?" Keanu asked.

"All but Divination. You're not going to take that," Hermione said desicively.

"Why not?" Keanu asked

"Because it's a load of bull," Ginny cut in. Hermione elbowed her,.

"Because the teacher is a fraud and its just guesswork. It's a waste of time," Hermione said professionally.

Astronomy also turned out to be easy. Keanu already knew a lot of the constellations, it was one of his hobbies when he was on the plane to different cities. Hermione decided he didn't need anymore work on that either, which left another space free. They went back down to the common room, Keanu gave Ginny a kiss good-night, and went up to his room.


The next morning, Keanu woke before everyone. He went down to the room, and opened the door after saying what he needed. Inside the room was a piano. Keanu sat down on the bench and played a short little song to warm up his fingers. He finished the song and launched straight into the Für Elise, just as he usually did. After that was the Nutcracker, then some other songs from Bach and Beethoven. When he finished, Hermione and Ginny, and even Ron this time, were looking at Keanu in awe. He grinned, embarrassed and stood up. Awestruck, Ginny started clapping, followed immediately by Hermione, and then by Ron.

"So what are we doing today?" He asked.

"Where did you learn to do that?" Ron asked.

Keanu shrugged. "It just came, naturally I suppose." Naturally with a load of practice he said to himself

"That was amazing!" Ron argued. "You say that came naturally?"

Keanu shrugged again.

"I can't believe it," Ron muttered again.

"Can we just get on with Potions?" Keanu asked. That brought out a laugh.

"Get on with Potions. He has no idea." Ginny choked out.

"No idea about what?" Keanu asked.

"No idea about Snape," Hermione said.

"Snape? Isn't he one of those people who went against Voldemort?" Keanu asked. Ron and Ginny shuddered, but Keanu ignored this.

"No, that was his parents. They're both gone now."

"Oh," Keanu said, "So what's wrong with Snape?"

Ron guffawed. "What isn't wrong with Snape?"

Keanu looked confused. "Why do you say that?"

Ginny patted him on the shoulder, still laughing. "You'll see."

"Or maybe not, if your bad at Potions," Hermione said.

But it seemed that Harry would be meeting Snape. He was a natural at Potions, just as he was at everything else. After learning what everything was, Keanu made a potion that was used to put someone to sleep almost indefinitely.

"Why am I not suprised?" Ron muttered as Hermione tested the potion on a frog.

"Why d'you say that?" Keanu asked.

"Well, you're parents were probably the two smartest wizards-or witches-to ever go to this school...next to Hermione of course."

Hermione blushed as the frog let out a croak saying it was awake. Keanu banished it out a window.

"Hey, if you're a natural at everything so far, maybe you're a natural at Quidditch! Your father was one of the best Quidditch players too!"

But now the two girls had to sit through a ten minute explanation of Quidditch.

"I think I get it," Keanu said. Ron nodded happily.

"We need two new Chasers. Angelina and Alicia graduated last year. Ginny's Seeker and I'm Keeper. Two fourth years are Beaters, and Katie Bell's a Chaser. If you're good at it, we'll only have to look for one in the fall."

"Might as well," Keanu said. The four stood up and headed outside.

Ginny lent Harry her Nimbus 2000. "The school brooms are rubbish," she explained.

Ron went to the three goalposts, "Just try to get it past me!" he yelled. Keanu nodded. Riding the broom was glorious. It felt to Keanu just like swimming did. Apparently he was a natural flyer as well.

He took the Quaffle in his hand. It was big and seemed he wouldn't be able to palm it, but it was a Pennyfeather Quaffle, and had a charm so he could palm it.

Keanu flew at Ron, who looked determined not to let him score. Keanu saw him leaning toward the right handed goal, and was about to go for the right handed one, when he remembered one of Jamie's soccer games where the same thing happened, the goalie was leaning to the right, but was ready for the ball in the left, and right when the ball was kicked...well, you get it. Keanu feinted toward the left, and just as he suspected, right when he threw the Quaffle, Ron shot at the other goal. He noticed to late that Keanu had been feinting, and Keanu scored.

"Beginner's luck," Ron said, but his smile gave away that he was glad Keanu had made it.

By the end of the day, Keanu had scored on Ron over half the tries. Ron was ecstatic. Hermione an another girl came down from the stands.

"Ron, who is this?" the blonde girl asked.

"This, Katie, is Keanu Montgomery, more commonly known, around here, as Harry Potter."

Katie squealed. "You were amazing! Now, we do have to hold tryouts, but your definitely going to be in."

Ron sighed. "Don't get your hopes up, Katie, he hasn't been Sorted yet."

Katie grimaced. "Well, both his parents were in Gryffindor, I'm sure he will!"

Keanu smiled. "I hope so."


The Second

Yea, seems kind of unrealistic that Keanu (Harry)'s learning this stuff so quickly, but remember, he is sixteen. I once read in a fic that the author believed that younger students magic could be unpredictable-which is why there is a decree on underage magic-but he is sixteen, and as Ron said, his parents are powerful, and as Hermione said, he is trying, so just go along with it, okay?

Thanks to my reviewers!
