AN: Hey guys! Hows it goin? Listen there are a few important things I need to get out. PLEASE READ THIS!!!

Firstly In all that Harry-goes-to-Azkaban-unjustly fics I've read, A Lot of them Have Harry almost totally sane cause he was strong enough to protect his mind from the dementors. Now some of them have good reasoning behind it but others don't So I just want to clarify that my Harry is still pretty much sane because he was in the Juvie dept. of Azkaban. They would come by at scheduled times, so Harry wasn't always around them, thus, hes not a nutcase… totally.

Also, another common trend I found was that once Harry is out hes horribly jaded/hateful/vengeful. In my fic, well yes he will be very angry at the ones that were supposed to be his friends, but let me explain. I study sociology, its my fav subject, and my fav topic is the socialization of children. Now from everything I've learned and studied, Harry turned out a hell of a lot better than any normal kid would in his position. Being locked away, constantly told your worthless, and not having any form of a relationship with anyone for the first ten years of their life would emotionally and mentally cripple a child. But as Harry is Harry he seems to turn out like a pretty normal kid at Hogwarts, a few anger management issue sure but hes not perfect. My theory is that it was the existence of friends at Hogwarts that helped him totally overcome the disgusting behavior of the Dursleys. But when every one of his friends turns against him, and leaves him to Azkaban, that relationship that saved him before will destroy him. Right now in Harry's head he thinks that he did something to cause their distrust. He believes its his fault that they left him. Hey a decade of always being told that every little thing that went wrong was your fault can do that to a kid. Don't worry, he wont stay like this, but I wanted to explain all that before people start complaining that hes not acting like he should. This is my interpretation of how this would go.

Thanks for listening!

japanese-jew: lol! That was just a joke! Don't worry, Ana's a limey, you'll read more about her in this chapter. I agree some OC stories are very good, but I find a lot of the less well written ones to be very similar and the author takes to many liberties looks around suspiciously whispers but that doesn't stop me from reading them! Lol

Nooka: in due time just like the rest of the mutants

Layce74: I'll try not to, cause I know exactly what your talking about. But remember his whole world had been destroyed by the ones he trusted the most. So hes going to be a tiny bit upset.

Dave Potter: DUDE! I totally know what your talking about! Where hes got like Telepathy and healing powers and has wings and a tail and like five other powers! Nuts yo!

CoolWeirdo: tank you.. tank you!!

Ainariel-Helyanwe: Ok to better explain Harry's power, think that Magic is everywhere. An invisible force that no one can see. Wizards are born with some of this force within them and with that magic they can tap into this force through the use of a wand which filters it and turns it into a spell. Harry, although he can still use a wand and filter raw magic to make spells, his mutant power allows him to feel and hear the raw magic that's everywhere, to harvest it by bringing it into himself (kinda like hes the wand) and bend the magic to do his will without filtering it. This doesn't not make him all powerful though. Don't think that. It going to take a massive amout of control to beable to tame such a wild force as Magic. Does that eplain it better for you?

Chapter nine

Explanations now

"Alright, I'll stay."

The first few weeks at the Institute were very interesting for Harry. He was confined to the infirmary for another week, so he could rest and get 'reintroduced' to food, as Miss Munroe told him. Halfway through the week though he had been attempting to stretch his legs, when he had walked in to a section of the infirmary he had not previously noticed. The inside was like a laboratory and library all in one, and in the centre of it all was a large hairy blue man, hunched over one of the tables. At Harry's startled cry the man turned to him and before Harry could make a break for it, assured him that he was harmless and introduced himself as Dr. Henry McCoy. Dr. McCoy was one of the instructors there and was horrified to hear from Harry that there were no literature classes at Hogwarts. After that Dr. McCoy had visited Harry often, usually bringing pieces of literature that he thought Harry might like to pass the time.

Another common visitor that came calling was Zero, or Ana as she was called now that they were no longer in Azkaban. On her first visit Harry got his first real good look at her in the light. She had long raven hair, much the same colour as his, only much more controlled. She wore it loose, with several pieces falling infront of her face. She was dress mostly in blacks with several bangles and bead filled bracelets adorning her arms, making her jingle when she walked. She was glad to see him awake at last, and said with a grin that he could finally take a shower. She showed him to where the bathroom was, and told him to take as long as he wanted. She also passed him a comb, a toothbrush and toothpaste before shutting the door.

An hour later, a much cleaner Harry walked out of the steam filled room to see Ana sitting on his bed reading a newspaper. Upon closer inspection he could see that the pictures were moving. A wizarding paper! And not just any paper, it was the Daily Prophet! "Congratulations Jack! You've become Britain's most wanted man! Good thing your safe here in the States!" She grinned at him, scooting over on the bed so that he could read too. The article proclaimed that he had indeed broken out of Azkaban and there was a very large reward for His person, dead or alive.

"Huh…" Ana said beside him, scanning the article, "They didn't even mention me! And I'm the one that did all the work!" She made a disappointed noise and went on to read the follow up article about how insane he was.

"Where did you get this? I thought we were in America?" He asked confused.

Without looking up she explained, "I have a friend who's a witch back in England and I asked her to send over some of the papers. I thought you'd like to know whats happening. Their a few days old though."

"Miss Munroe said that you're a- that you're a mutant. Thats how you got me out."

"Mmm hmmm."

"Why did you do it though?"

Ana turned her head from the paper to look at him. "Why did I do what? Rescue you?" Harry nodded. "Well mostly because the Professor asked me too but also cause you were innocent and you didn't deserve that place. The professor knew that you were in prison and that you rwere guarded by monsters, but I don't think they understand just how those creatures effect you. You couldn't deserve that if you were innocent. I think it's a very barbaric way of punishment."

"But how did you know that I was innocent?"

"The Professor told me."

"And you would just take his word over everyone else's, over all the facts and 'evedence' without ever having met me?" He asked incredulously.

She looked back at the paper not really seeing it. "Look, remember when I told you that I was in a bad place when the Prof. found me?" Vaguely Harry remembered her mentioning something like that when she was trying to convince him to trust her. "Me and my sister, Moyra, we've had a pretty rough time. Our Dad ran out on us when he found out that I was a witch. Mum was a witch, but she had left the wizarding world, and hidden what she was. When Dad found out he couldn't handle it, so he left, and we havn't heard from him again. After that my mum tried to find work but she had been one of those stay at home moms, so she couldn't get a real job. We lost our house, everything. We ended up living with a friend on my mums for a bit, until we got a small place of our own. It seemed that we were going to be ok then, but mum started to get sick. She died a few months later, leaving me and Moyra. Eventually we ended up on the streets.

"Why didn't you go to Hogwarts? I never had to pay tuition and neither did my friends!"

"You probably did. When a witch or wizard is born from magic parents they are expected to be signed up for a school. Your parents probably payed a long time ago."

"What about muggle borns?"

"The ministry covers tuition of muggle borns to encourage the magical people into their community. We had a witch for a mother but no money to pay tuition. When the Prof. found me I had been about to hand Moyra over to social services thinking at least with them she could have a chance for a better life. When I was here training it was great, I was back in school, and we were safe. The Prof saved us, so when he called me up telling me you were innocent I believed him. I trust him more than any other adult I've met."

"Where were you when he called you? Why didn't you stay here?"

"I missed England, Yes Jack I'm British and proud of it. I also, I don't know, I wanted to make my own life. It was great here, it got me back on my feet, but I wanted to live my life. So I took Moyra, and went back to England telling the Prof. to call me if he was ever in need of my services. And a little over a month ago he called me up saying that he had discovered a new mutant in England, but for some reason Cerebro couldn't pinpoint your location."

"Who's Cerebro?"

"Cerebro is a machine that the Prof uses to expand his telepathic abilities. He uses it to locate new mutants so he can contact them and offer his help. But because you were in a magical place Cerebro couldn't find you. So the Prof told me who you were, I told him that you were a murderer, he said No he's not. He said that he had tried looking onto your mind to see if there was a clue as to where you were, and all he saw was horrible memories and a overwhelming sense of sorrow. And the repeating thought in your head was that you were innocent. So I trusted him, got some stuff together, took the polyjuice formula, and went to the ministry to 'give myself up'. They didn't even notice that I was slipping myself the potion every hour. I was sentenced a month in Azkaban for theft, and they took me right to you."

Harry looked away from her, "I'm sorry."

She looked at him totally bewildered. "For what?"

"You had to drop your life because of me. And the Professor said that you were going to stay here so that I won't hurt anyone with my magic."

"He said that? Those exact words?"

"Not those exact words but that's what it meant! You just said how you wanted to have your own life, but now you have to stay here to teach me!"

"Jack I volunteered for the job! The Prof was handing me my plane ticket when I said that he would need someone who knew a thing or two about magic. And I don't exactly want to take Moyra back to England with the state of things there!"

"What do you mean?"

"That's right you wouldn't know." She glanced at the paper, "After you were taken away, strange thing started happening. There were break-ins at the ministry, in the 'Department of Mysteries', although I don't know what for. Then Dumbledore started announcing to the public that Voldermort had returned. The press said he was loosing his touch and a load of other crap. They still won't admit it but most people know Dumbledore is telling the truth. At least now they do. England is a mess, the whole place is divided! The ministry against Dumbledore and his people and the public swaying from side to side, and the muggles in the middle totally unaware of the reasons behind the attacks that have been happening. When the Prof called me I was already planning on returning here anyways."

"Besides," she said with a smile, "you need me here anyways! Surely you don't expect to learn magic from Dr. McCoy!"
