AN : Oh man, thanks to everyone who reviewed! I had a major dip in reviews when I made it a crossover, and I thought I scared everyone away! Good to hear you still like it!
japanese-jew: OOOOHHHHHhhhhhh!!! I see! I know what room your talking about but I don't think that's where they put the crazy people. I've actually been there to the set, well before it was the set, they filmed it in Castle Loma in Toronto, I went there as a kid all the time, and I think that room was the stables. But I could be totally wrong, I haven't seen the movie in years! And he does seem to be normal Harry but I'm working on that, hes going to have issues, but I'm trying to make them all a bit more obvious.
Drama Queen 2004: You have no idea how hard it is to not just do one massive update! I have up to chapter 20 done, plus lots of future chapters. But I want to hold on to them incase I need to make last min changes! But its sooooooooo hard!!! I want to see what everyone thinks of what happens! squirms I'm glad you like it though!
Chapter 10
The sound of Magic
Moyra popped her head around the door and said with a large smile that they were ready for them now.
Ana Nudged him ahead of her as he walked into the room that had seemed so empty before when Ana had shown it to him. Now the fine table was filled with dishes and plates full of food, and the seats filled with students, most he noticed were around his age. They were all looking at him with mixed faces of curiosity and interest. Harry felt horribly put on the spot until Ororo stepped up to him and placed a hand on his shoulder before facing the table. "Everyone I would like to introduce you to Harry." After listening to the various hellos that followed she asked 'Amara, Ray, would you please move over to where bobby and Sam are sitting?" A dark haired girl and larger boy with spiked blond hair got up from their seats and moved over to where another pair of boys sat near the end of the table. Leaving two very empty seats in the middle of them all. Moyra skipped off to take a seat next to a young boy with light brown hair, leaving her sister to lead Harry to the newly vacated seats. He sat down with Ana on his left and a girl with a high ponytail on his right. Conversation slowly returned to the table and Harry saw Dr McCoy give him an encouraging thumbs up. The Girl in front of him who had long dark red hair opened her mouth and began to address him but was interrupted by the small boy next to Moyra who asked in a rather loud voice, "Are you a witch?"
Silence dawned on the room yet again as every face turned to him and he felt his own face flush. "No!" he answered in a startled rush, horribly embarrassed by the attention he was being given. His embarrassment disappeared though when he saw the disappointment in the boys face. "I'm a wizard" He corrected, and the boy blinked at him, then frowned in thought.
"Like the Wizard of Oz?" He asked, only this time instead of silence, light laughter followed his question. He saw Ana Laughing at his side, obviously picturing him with a great green head and fire spouting around him.
Conversation was much easier after that, some asking him how he like it here, others asking how he was feeling now that he was out of the infirmary. But the most asked question were those about his powers. After explaining what little he knew, he heard Ana quietly suggest just showing them. After the girl to his right (kitty was her name) asked him what he meant by drawing on raw magic he asked her to hold on. Closing his eyes, he mentally went through the steps Ana had showed him back in Azkaban, and found it much easier this time around. Holding his hand out, palm up he eased the warmth through his fingers and held it there. Opening his eyes he saw the same misty substance floating above his hand, glowing with the same iridescent light, and humming. He grinned at it, proud at the fact that he had made this beautiful thing. He looked at Ana, who was admiring the mist in his hand now that she could see it up close. "Its humming." She said
"What?" Asked the young boy from before, whom Harry now knew as Jamie.
"What, Cant you hear it?" Asked Moyra, turning to her companion. The boy shrugged, and the rest of the mutants continued to watch the beautiful mist, deaf to its hum.
"Perhaps," Dr. McCoy started, "You must first be magical to hear it" Harry turned back to his hand pondering the idea. Yes that would explain why only the three of them could hear it while the other couldn't.
"Sooooo… what does it do?" Asked a boy near the end of the table.
"Bobby, he is holding raw magic in his hand. Raw Magic! Not even Merlin could do that!!!!" Ana explained to him. "Just the fact that he can do this alone is powerful. Should he throw this at you it would knock you out! And if Harry can learn to control it enough he might be able to do spells that were impossible before! And not to mention he'll never have to use a wand!"
"What's wrong with a wand?" Asked Moyra, who was looking at Harry with awe in her face.
"Wands are fine but most of wizarding kind is helpless without one. Harry will never be in that position now." Ana explained
The rest of the meal passed quickly after Harry's demonstration of his powers. Others introduced themselves and those who could, gave small examples of their own powers.
When everyone else was finished Harry rose and washed his dishes with the rest of them, comforted by how at ease they seemed with him. No one stared; none even glanced at his scar. He didn't speak much, just basked in the normalness of the situation. After, he had been dragged to the rec room by Moyra who wanted to finish her movie. Sitting on that couch surrounded by the Mutants of the Institute, Harry couldn't have found himself more content.
AN: I'm not going to be doing Kurt's Accent, cause I'd butcher it. So anyone with an accent, use your imagination! Cause its better than anything I could do! -;;
