Sept 1
Before the start of the school term, Clarisa had applied and was accepted in a Muggle high school, to both restart her Muggle education, and give her something else to do other then studying her shadow magic, before reentering the wizarding world as Shadow Mage Clarisa Whitewater.
The Muggle school, in which Clarisa had applied too, is a two large square buildings, one was the main school itself, and the second held a indoor pool, a basketball court, several large science labs, and few extra classrooms for a number of extra activities.
The first few weeks of school, was challenging for Clarisa, and she constantly had to stop herself from using magic. The classes was different and harder then her elementary years, but luckily Clarisa had a special learning ring, which allow her to learn years worth of Muggle knowledge in matter of hours, and thanks to the ring, she had little trouble with the class work, and was a straight A student from the first day of classes.
A month had gone by, and as Clarisa continue her Muggle schooling, she knew she was not alone, since she found out that somehow Dumbledore knew she was attending the school, and had several wizards and witches watching her from a distance, but luckily for her, she had already place a special ward that repels wizards from the school, so Clarisa knew she would be left alone until she wanted to speak to them.
Evenn with the wards to protect her, a week after discovering what Dumbledore had done, Clarisa begin sending daily paper bird cranes to the wizards watching her to just say that she knew that they were there, but after a while she decided to do much more.
Four weeks into October, Remus and a pink haired Tonks was on watch on the school were Clarisa was attending, and as they watched, they talked about the strange girl that got Dumbledore interested in her." So is there any word from Bill Weasley about that unknown ward that is around the school." Tonks asked, as they looked threw some magical binoculars, that would show them where Clarisa was, no matter where she was in the building." Actually Bill is stumped at the moment, since he can't figure a way around it." Remus started, as he noticed Clarisa secretly sending out some paper cranes, during her class." Great, she knows we are here, I wonder how she knows we are here?" Remus asked, as the cranes flew in, and without warning both cranes exploded, sending out pink and blue dusts everywhere.
The dust was in the air for a few seconds, and once the room was clear, Tonks was now pink from head to toe, and Remus was a little blue puppy." That little sneak will pay for this!" Tonks yelled, as she saw what Clarisa had done." Come on Remus lets go, since I both don't want to stay like this for the entire day, and paper train you." Tonks joked, while getting a growl from Remus, but Tonks ignore it and picked him up, to apparate both of them out of the building they were in.
At Grimmauld Place, a not so happy pink Tonks appeared in the kitchen, holding a very unhappy puppy." Tonks, what happen to you, and where is Moony." Sirius asked, since he was the only one in the kitchen." Clarisa, decided to pull some pranks on her watchers, when she sent out those paper cranes." Tonks informed a grinning Sirius." So Tonks, she turned you pink, and don't tell me..." Sirius laughed out loud, as he realized what happen to Remus." Clarisa turned Moony into a puppy?" Sirius continued laughing.
After a while, Dumbledore entered the kitchen, and saw what happen to both Tonks and Remus." Don't tell me Clarisa did this to you both?" Dumbledore grinned, as Tonks nodded." We should put up some wards to protect us from those cranes, just incase Clarisa decides to send out more pranks." Tonks suggested, and Dumbledore agreed." It will be done by tomorrow, but I wish Clarisa would talk to us, because if Voldemort discover about her being a Shadow Mage, she will be a valuable asset to his dark cause." Dumbledore warned everyone, and they agreed." We know, but it seemed Clarisa doesn't care about the Wizarding world, since she is avoiding us." Tonks said, as Dumbledore sighed." I know that, that is why we must convince Clarisa to come to train and learn at Hogwarts, and at the same time keep her safe." Dumbledore finished, then gesture Tonks to the living room, to get her and Remus back to normal.
Unfortunately for the watchers, Clarisa had no trouble getting around Dumbledore wards, and continue pranking her watchers, whom is unfortunately more then determine to keep watching her, no matter what Clarisa does to them.
Up to the month of November, Clarisa whom tried to dissociated, with the other students since she didn't want to befriend any Muggles, since it would be dangerous to know her, but as she attended English class one afternoon, the teacher made a announcement that would change her plans." Now class, I will be partnering you!" The teacher said, causing some groans." That will be enough of that, since you and your partner, will need to work together for the rest of the school year, to do group assignments, and I will be choosing the partners." The teacher informed everyone, and started calling out names, and reassigning seats to keep the partners together.
In the end, Clarisa was partnered with a small plain looking girl, with blond hair, and blue eyes, that seem to be shy around Clarisa." Hi, my name is Gabriele Granger; I guess we are partners hah." Gabriele shyly asked, as they sat next to each other." I guess, by the way are you related to Hermione Granger?" Clarisa asked, as she looked interested." Actually she is a close cousin of mine, bit of a bookworm, but how do you know her?" Gabriele asked, as she looked to Clarisa." I had a friend who knew a Hermione Granger, his name was Harry Potter." Clarisa informed a now wide-eye teen." You knew Harry, Hermione was always talking about their adventures." Gabriele started, but stopped as the teacher got the class attention, and started them working on an assignment.
The days flew fast, and Clarisa and Gabriele became fast friends from the first day they were paired up, but during these times, they only stayed together during school hours, since Clarisa didn't want to expose herself by walking out of her wards where her watchers could try to talk to her, and because of that she been shadow traveling home, while still in the building.
December flew by quickly, and the day before the holidays, Clarisa and Gabriele was in the school library looking up answers to their schoolwork, when Gabriele decided to asked a question." Clarisa, are you planning anything for the holidays?" Gabriele shyly asked, as she looked to Clarisa." Actually I have nothing plan at this moment, why are you asking?" Clarisa asked, as she looked to Gabriele." Well I was hoping that we could go out shopping together sometime during the holidays." Gabriele hopefully asked." I guess I can hang out with you, since I have nothing to do for the holidays." Clarisa said, as after giving it a thought for a while." Great, lets plan on when we can meet." Gabrielle suggested, and both decided to meet on the third day of the holidays at the local mall.
The holidays came up faster then expected, and once school was over, Clarisa found herself to be depress, and researching new Shadow spells was not helping to relieve her depression." Great, what am I going to do, no friends to hang out with, accept for Gabriele, and I can't go back to the traitors, at least not yet." Clarisa thought, as she lay back on the chair and close her eyes." This is not helping, I need to do something." Clarisa thought, and disappeared in a dark cloud.
At Grimmauld Place during lunch, Sirius and Remus was going over what they knew about Clarisa." From our observations, Clarisa is a loner; accept for that girl she met during last month, but…" Remus started, but was cut off as a dark cloud appeared, and Clarisa appeared before them.
For a while no one spoke, since the men were shocked to see Clarisa standing in the kitchen." Sorry, I thought to stop by since I was bored out of my mind without any school to distract me with." Clarisa informed the two men, as she sat down on an empty chair." Miss. Whitewater, you know it's been tough trying to have a word with you?" Remus asked, as he came out of his shock." I know what you want, and the answer is no, I will not go back to the wizarding world till I'm ready to go back!" Clarisa firmly said, as the two men looked to her." Why don't you want to be in the wizarding world?" Sirius asked Clarisa, but Remus spoke first." I know, its the law of 1787, which condemns Shadow Mages, and because of that law, the Shadow Mages were wipe out in a matter of months." Remus said quietly, since the law was worse then the werewolf laws." You are right Remus, I had currently checked that law, and unfortunately for me, IT IS still in affect, even when all the Shadow Mages were declared dead." Clarisa sadly said, as she looked down at the table." Maybe Professor Dumbledore can do something about that law?" Sirius asked, just as Dumbledore entered the kitchen.
No one notice Dumbledore entrance, till he sat near Clarisa." Miss. Whitewater, I am currently trying to dismiss that law, but it is not easy at the moment to remove it." Dumbledore sadly informed Clarisa." Yeah right, I bet it's because of Fudge interfering with what you are doing!" Sirius said, as he spat out Fudge name." Professor, if you had documents that said that the ministry had fully supported the Shadow Mages before the law came into affect, will that help." Clarisa asked, as Dumbledore eyes sparkled brightly." Yes, that will help, and if the documents have the Ministry Seals before that date, I should be able to get rid of that law, and Minister Fudge would not be able to do anything to stop me." Dumbledore happily said, and Clarisa smile." Well, I do have years of documents, and ministry awards for a large number of Shadow Mages in my Heir's Vault, I can get them now to get the ball rolling." Clarisa happily said, and was gone in a puff of dark smoke.
It took more then half an hour before Clarisa appeared in the kitchen carrying a small bag." Here it is, and from what I can tell, it's ten years worth of documents." Clarisa happily declared, as she dumped the contents of the bag on the table, which luckily for everyone, all the documents automatically stacked themselves creating ten, two foot tall stacks of paper." Miss Whitewater, this is incredible, just a few of these, will quickly remove that law." Dumbledore started, as he read a number of documents." And since all of them have the Ministry Seal, we can get that law removed before the day had ended." Dumbledore finished, and waved his wand at the stacks, making them all fly back into the small bag." Now that done, I will go to the Ministry now, and as you said, gets the ball rolling." Dumbledore joked and stood up to leave." Wait, can I go and help, since it is me that you are protecting from that law." Clarisa shyly asked, stopping Dumbledore." I don't see why not, just hold on to me, and I'll apparate us to the Ministry." Dumbledore said, and Clarisa firmly took Dumbledore's arm, and both were gone.
In no time Dumbledore and Clarisa had arrived at the one of the Ministry offices that could help them, but before entering, Dumbledore turned to Clarisa." I don't want it known yet that you are a Shadow Mage, so be careful when we are talking to Madam Bones." Dumbledore quietly suggested, and Clarisa just nodded, before they entered the office.
Thanks to Dumbledore status, and being a close friend of Madam Bones, it took just minutes to get an audience with the Head court official." Good evening Headmaster Dumbledore, and who do you have here." Bones politely asked." This is Clarisa, and we are here since we got some proof that a law that was created about two hundred years ago, and still in affect today, is unjust, and we would like to remove it please." Dumbledore said, as he conjured a large table, and dumped the stacks of Documents." This is about the Shadow Mages law you been currently trying to remove right." Bones asked, before going over to the table." Yes it is, and since all of the documents have the Ministry Seals, it will show that the Ministry was fully supported of the Shadow Mages, before the law came into affect." Dumbledore informed Bones, and she went over to the stacks to look over the papers.
After half an hour of speed reading and magically scanning half of the documents, Bones finally looked to Dumbledore." From what I read for the reason of the Shadow Mages law, I can see that it was all false, and I don't see any reason to keep it in our current laws." Bones angrily started, since she was not too happy of the many innocent lives that were lost, because of the Shadow Mages law." That so call law, will be personally removed by me, within the next few minutes, I guarantee that." Bones finished, and both Dumbledore and Clarisa looked relieved.
Once Bones declared the law was unjust, Dumbledore turned to Clarisa." I guess it is now safe, to reveal yourself Miss. Whitewater." Dumbledore said, startling Bones." Miss. Whitewater, you are a Shadow Mage?" Bones asked, as she turned to Clarisa." I am, ma'am, and sorry, but that is all I can say at this moment." Clarisa firmly said, and Bones nodded." I can see why you want this law to be removed, since Miss. Whitewater won't have to be afraid to use her Shadow magic." Bones said to Dumbledore, and removed a very thick four by two feet book from her desk." This is one of several books of laws, and luckily I'm one of the few who can remove or add laws to this." Bones stated, and turned to the almost the very beginning of the book." Ah, here it is, and good riddance." Bone said, as she forcefully jabbed her wand at the written unjust law, and the words vanished from the book, leaving nothing behind." There now, if anyone looking at their copy of laws from this book will find this so call law gone from their list." Bones firmly said, and Clarisa breathe a sigh of relief." Thank you Madam Bones..." Clarisa started, but was cut off." No thanks is needed, just don't make me regret doing this for you alright!" Bones firmly said, and Clarisa quickly nodded." I promise that no one will be harm by my magic, accept for those who deserve it." Clarisa committed herself, and Bones nodded." Good answer, and now is there anything else you need?" Bones asked, and with shook of their heads, both Dumbledore and Clarisa left, after a friendly goodbye.
Back at Grimmauld Place, there was a small celebration in the kitchen, since Clarisa was happy that her Shadow magic was no longer illegal, but one thing she knew she had to do, made her feel unsure of which got the three adults attention." Clarisa what is wrong, I thought you will happy to be free of that law." Remus asked, as they all look worriedly to Clarisa." There is something I need to tell you guys, but I'm not sure how?" Clarisa sadly looked down at the table." Sometimes it helps to start from the beginning." Dumbledore kindly suggested, as he lifted Clarisa head from her chin, and peered into her sad golden eyes." No, that won't work, but I guess I should start from here." Clarisa stop, as she looked away to think.
It took a moment before Clarisa again spoke, and it was the last thing, the three wizards would have never guess." Professor, in my third year, Hermione and I used a Time Turner to first save Buckbeak from getting his head chop off, and then Sirius Black from the Dementor's kiss." Clarisa quickly said, since she knew Dumbledore had kept what they did quiet.
The second Clarisa was done speaking, the three men fell from their chairs, since they all was in shock." HAR…RY…PPP…OO…TTTT…EERR?" Sirius stuttered out loud." That was my former name, but yes, I was called Harry Potter, The Boy Who Live." Clarisa informed everyone, as they got off the floor, and started staring at her." Clarisa that event does confirm who you use to be, but care to tell us how this change came to be?" Dumbledore asked, as soon as he found his voice." Have any of you heard of the Heir transfer spell." Clarisa asked, as Remus and Sirius looked unsure, but Dumbledore looked graved." So this is permanent isn't it?" Dumbledore asked, and Clarisa nodded." Wait a minute, what is that spell, and are you telling us Harry is stuck as a girl?" Sirius yelled, which Dumbledore and Clarisa nodded too." The Heir transfer spell is a spell that help an adopted blood Heir from one family to move into another, by changing the Heirs appearance, blood, and abilities, to fit into his or her new family." Dumbledore started, as he looked Clarisa over." But once this spell is done, the child will lose all heritance of his or her family of which they were born from." Dumbledore finished.
For a while no one spoke, so Clarisa went ahead, and told everyone about the spirit of Clarisa Whitewater, and her offer to help Harry, but when she was done, Sirius looked murderous." Harry, why did you do it?" Sirius shouted, as Clarisa flinched at her former name." Why do you think, when I was Harry I was somehow link to Voldemort, I heard what you all thought of Harry when you thought I had murdered Cedric!" Clarisa angrily started, as she glared at her former godfather." And when I was given a choice to live without the fame of being Harry Potter, I quickly took it; even it meant that I would live the rest of my life as a girl." Clarisa informed everyone with tears falling from her eyes, causing everyone to look hurt at the pain they caused her.
It took a few minutes before one of the three adults could speak, and he looked ashamed at what he had thought while Harry was in Azkaban." Clarisa, I know all of us were having doubts of what the Fake Moody had told us during that time, and he did put up a convincing act that we had no choice but to believe him!" Remus apologized." Clarisa, I will take full blame, since when I believe Crouch, everyone had no choice but to also believe him." Dumbledore sadly said, as Clarisa looked to him." During those few days in prison, I was hurt at the thought of losing all of you, but I couldn't believe that you would betray me like that?" Clarisa sadly started, as she now stared at the floor." Then after I became Clarisa, I thought I could live without friends, but I couldn't do it." Clarisa finished, as the three looked sadly to her." Clarisa, is there is a chance, we can repair all the damages done by Crouch?" Dumbledore asked, as he looked hopeful that Clarisa would give them a second chance." I want to start over, and forget everything bad that happen between us." Clarisa finished, as more tears fell." Then we shell, do we all agree to this?" Dumbledore asked, and the other two didn't said anything, except gave Clarisa a big group hug, while Dumbledore smiled knowing that this was a start of a renewed friendship.
After a long hug, Dumbledore decided to break it up." Clarisa, what are you going to do about your magical schooling?" Dumbledore asked, as the three separated." I'm sorry; I can't go back until I fully master my Shadow magic, which unfortunately will take till next summer." Clarisa worriedly said to everyone." Then if that what is needed, then I will be looking forward to having you back at Hogwarts, but there is problem, you will need to take your O.W.Ls to advance to six year." Dumbledore warned, and Clarisa gave it a thought." Can I come by for the exams, since I should be able to take them by the time they start?" Clarisa hopefully asked." It will be done, and I will guess that it will be the usual classes you will be taking exams for?" Dumbledore asked." Can you add Arithmancy and Ancient Runes, since I'm studying them at the moment, and should be over six year level by the time of the tests." Clarisa hopefully asked, as she shocked the adults." Clarisa, how can you have learn up to six year level, when you never taken the classes?" Dumbledore shakily asked, and Clarisa held up her hand, that showed two black rings." The one with the Large W is our family ring, and it will help disguise my spells to look like normal spells." Clarisa started, getting the three attention." And the nicely decorative one, is call The Ring of Learning, it will allow me to learn much faster then normal." Clarisa informed a still shocked group." I hope the ring doesn't supply the answers for you?" Dumbledore asked." No it doesn't, since I still need to read to learn things." Clarisa firmly started, as she looked to Dumbledore." This ring allows me to both read faster then an average speed reader, and at the same time quickly comprehend what I am reading, so if I read an advance spell, I should be able to cast it on my first try." Clarisa finished, and Dumbledore nodded, but was not done questioning." Will you still have the information, when the ring is off your fingered?" Dumbledore asked." Yes, everything I read with the ring on is implanted in my head, but once the ring is off, my reading and learning, will be back to normal." Clarisa firmly finished, and Dumbledore nodded." Then I guess you may use the ring during classes, but I should warn you, that it must be kept quiet." Dumbledore warned, and Clarisa nodded in agreement.
Once the talk about the ring was over, Dumbledore changed the subject." Clarisa, I was wondering, where have you been living up to now?" Dumbledore asked, as everyone looked interested." I been living in Shadow Mansion, which is our family ancestors home, it is unplotable, so I'm safe as long as I stay within it grounds." Clarisa informed everyone." You mean you been living alone all this time?" Sirius asked." No not really, since I have one over protected House Elf name Tibi, whom is worse then Dobby, and fourteen others that help to take care of me." Clarisa finished, and the others looked glad that Clarisa was living better then when she was as Harry.
Once Clarisa finished, Dumbledore spoke up." What about your friends, Ron, Hermione and Ginny?" Dumbledore asked, as Clarisa looked unsure." Clarisa, I personally know that Harry's death really hurt them, and they all wish that they never had betrayed you like that, and I know they would be happy to have you back." Remus assured Clarisa, but she shook her head." No, I'm not ready to face them yet; maybe during my O.W.Ls I will be ready to do so." Clarisa firmly said, and the other knew that it would be pointless to talk her out of it.
After spending sometime with the adults, Clarisa left before nightfall, since she didn't want Tibi come searching for her, but had promise,to come by to talk to Sirius, and Remus, every now and then.
