CHAPTER EIGHT

Fight, Fight, Fight!

The first day of training was just making sure where both of the Harrys were. The dimension travelers were extremely surprised when they saw how advanced Harry was. Harry had decided to hold back on his magic a bit, so he only showed them the whole Hogwarts curriculum and half of the things he learned in the auror books.

During the lessons, Harry allowed Blaise to be present, as everyone outside of the travelers and Tyler had been rude to her. Tyler just acted as though the two Slytherins didn't exist.

"That was so cool when you turned Orion's hair grey and made him look like an old man!" Junior laughed.

"I think my favorite part was when you tried to do a blinding hex on Howie and made yourself blind instead." Blaise said to Junior, who flushed a deep red.

"No, turning Howie into a female wolf in an old lady's outfit and Orion into a Snape look-alike was the best." Harry said. "Most definitely."

"What do you mean?" Junior asked.

"Don't worry, you were blind at the time and had your head stuck in a pillow." Harry said off-handedly.

"That was just cruel, not funny at all. My hair still feels all greasy." Orion whined.

"What some cheese with that whine?" Blaise sneered. The five of them were sitting in the main room while the kids were in the Black's and the time traveler's room and the other adults were in the Potter's room.

"Where did you find that curse anyway?" Howie asked.

"I, uh, kinda just made it up. I was testing it on Orion." Harry said nervously.

"Can you make anyone turn into anyone else? And what about the cross-gender thing?" Howie asked.

"I suppose and I made that one up last year when I was studying the similarities between potions and charms." Harry answered.

"What are the spells?" Junior asked, his eyes sparkling with excitement.

"Spells? I try to leave that part out. That way I don't get blamed." Harry said slowly.

"What about other spells? Do you need to say the spell for them?" Orion asked.

"Of course. My theory is that most witches and wizards need an incantination to do a spell, so that is how they teach it in school. However, the people that don't need an incantination for a spell learn spells with the spoken part, so they become used to saying the spells and can't do the spell without saying it." Harry said, deciding to let some of his thoughts out. The three new comers had been trying to get him to share his ideas with them all day.

"Interesting theory. But would it still work if the person knew all of the details of a spell, even the smallest one?" Howie asked.

"I don't know, they don't teach us all of the components of a spell, I think if someone did know the, though, they wouldn't need to say the spell. I think that's how I don't have to say them when I make my own spells." Harry said.

"You two have lost me." Blaise said. "Can we talk about stuff that us mere mortals might understand?"

"How about Einstein's theory of space." Harry said excitedly.

"Where did you learn that?" Orion asked.

"I didn't. It was a joke." Harry said dryly. "I don't even know what Einstein had theories of."

"Harry! Where did you put Iria's notes for school! I've been looking for them for the last hour!" Lily yelled.

"What notes? I bet she never took any. And if she did, why would I take them?" Harry asked.

"Of course she took notes! And she told me that they disappeared!" Lily snapped defensively.

"Shut up! I am sick and tired of the way all of you treat him! He is your SON! And in case you haven't noticed, he's bloody brilliant! Your little brat has been messing up and acting like she's the queen of the world! She's annoying, snotty, stupid, and her magic is horrible!" Orion yelled. Lily looked stunned, her eyes were wide, her face was pale, and her mouth was wide open.

"You are a bunch of ignorant fools. You brand the squib wannabe as savior before even checking for traces of the killing curse, apparently. Harry's scar still radiates the magic that made it. What about actually listening to him for once? It's quite obvious he still cares about you, though Merlin help me if I knew why. You always criticize him and are cruel to him even in the short time we've been here. What kind of parents are you?" Howie said his speech in a calm voice, though anger and disappointment were easy to hear in his voice and see in his eyes.

"You-you-he." Lily stuttered. Harry was just staring wide-eyed at the pair. The only nice adult he had was dead and the only person that ever stood up for him was Blaise.

"What's going on Lil?" James asked as he and the rest of the adults looked in on the group. "What did you do to her?" James demanded, looking strait into Harry's stunned emerald eyes.

"He did nothing to her!" Orion yelled. "I am ashamed to even say I was ever friends with James and Lily Potter, and I knew a kind James and Lily Potter! I would rather say I knew Peter fucking Pettigrew than you! At least he had a reason! At least he didn't betray his own son! His young and innocent son! The kid is amazing! He can do things I could only dream about doing at his age."

"He's a Slytherin and he's already killed once!" James protested.

"He was three! And what about Wormtail? He was a Gryffindor." Howie said.

"Peter was different! There isn't a trustworthy Slytherin, though." Sirius snapped.

"You're acting just like Voldemort! He hates people because of their blood and you hate people because of their family and house! It makes me wonder why you even looked twice at Sirius!" Junior yelled.

"Like you're one to talk! You're probably just like him!" James pointed at Harry.

"And I wouldn't care if he was! The kid's amazing, they both are!" Orion growled.

"Amazing because of his fire magic?" Remus shot. Harry's eyes widened and everyone looked at Remus. "The kid's a fire elementalist." He explained, glaring at Harry.

"He's already lying to us! Who knows what else he does!" Lily spoke up.

"Oh yes, because everyone tells their secrets to people that hate them. I'm sure you would put aside part of your day to listen to him." Orion sneered.

"How we raise him is up to us, not you. If we decide to treat him like he deserves, then we will, and do. If we wanted to dismiss his every fault and sin, we would do that as well, but we don't believe that we should let him disobey and not punish him." James growled.

"Because you don't treat Iria that way. She's a complete brat and she thinks she deserves the world handed to her on a platter." Blaise scoffed in disgust. "She does horrible in school and is an obnoxious brat! Even Malfoy behaves better then her. Hell, Crabbe and Goyle behave better then her."

"She does deserve everything, she saved us all! And she acts perfectly polite." Lily sniffed.

"And she does not do horrible in school. She just has a lot on her mind." Remus added.

"Just because she has a scar? Well Harry got one that night as well. Did you even check or did you just not care?" Howie asked.

"Stop!" Harry yelled. He was tired of listening to people argue over him or about him. It just allowed him to hear how deep his parent's hatred for him ran and Harry was afraid to hear the answer to the last question. "Are you five or fifty?"

"I'll have you know, I'm thirty-eight." Orion snapped.

"I was being sarcastic Orion. But you're all acting like a bunch of little kids arguing over what Quidditch team is better." Harry snapped.

"Like you would know anything about maturity." James sneered.

"He knows more then you, obviously. He's right." Howie said.

"You just don't want to admit that we we're right." Sirius crowed.

"Oh, that was mature." Junior muttered. "Maybe you just don't want to admit that you're wrong."

"And you're better?" Remus asked. Harry shook his head and started to leave when a hand grabbed his shoulder.

"You're not going anywhere. You started this whole thing and you are going to stay until it finishes." James growled.

"It will never end because both sides are too stubborn to allow it to end." Harry said patiently.

"I know one way to end it, feel the scar on his forehead, check for dark magic and even check his wand for the last year for dark magic. If the wand turns up false and the head turns up positive, then dark magic caused the scar. The only dark magic caused that night was the killing curse. Check Iria even. You know that magic in a curse scar might fade, but it never leaves. And it never fades enough to not feel it." Howie said. James sneered and held his hand out for Harry's wand. Harry gave to him and scowled when he gave it to Sirius.

Sirius cast the spell and white smoke came from the ends of Harry's wand. "No dark magic." James felt Harry's forehead and frowned.

"Dark magic." He glared at Harry as if he did something wrong. "Iria!" Iria walked in out of the room she was in.

"I was playing! Why did I have to come?" She whined.

"Come over here, Iria. Remove your robe and roll up your sleeve so I can see your scar." James said, letting go of Harry as though he was diseased.

"Okey then!" She chirped, eyes gleaming with excitement at being able to show off her scar. She almost skipped over to her dad to show her scar. James placed his hand over her scar and his eyes widened.

"No dark magic." He whispered. "There must be some mistake." He looked over to Sirius. "You check."

"There isn't a mistake. I've been telling you that a piece of roof made that." Harry spat.

"This isn't possible." James growled angrily.

"Of course it's possible. Our Harry did it, so why wouldn't your Harry have the power to do it?" Sirius snapped.

"What are you talking about? What did Harry do? He can't to anything!" Iria whined.

"Harry defeated You-Know-Who, not you." Blaise sneered. "And my Harry is very talented, as opposed to someone who's only talent is being a spoiled brat." She hissed, smiling wickedly.

"Your Harry?" Harry asked, one eyebrow raised and a slight smirk on his face.

"Of course? Who else would you belong to? Weasel?" She asked.

"He couldn't afford me." Harry boasted.

"Nuh, uh! Ron is a lot better then you! He's smarter and more powerful!" Iria defended her crush.

"Grow up. He's dating Granger, not you. And he's a weak moron." Harry scowled. "I bet the only reason he's passing is because of her and Granger's study sessions."

"He is not! Dad! Make him take that back!" Iria cried.

"I swear! Half the time I wonder if they really like each other or not. I think they try to kill each other by suffocation. What with their tongues so far down each other's throat." Harry grinned spitefully.

"Bad mental image! Harry how could you?" Blaise whimpered.

"Harry! Stop picking on Iria and apologize now!" Lily yelled.

"Can we get back on the main subject?" Remus and Howie asked at the same time.

"Not until that demon apologizes to my baby!" Lily snarled.

"You know, when I was younger, I used to thing that if you knew what really happened you wouldn't spend so much time with Markus and Iria. In fact, I held on to that hope until Hogwarts. Then I realized that you truly didn't care. So I just have one question, in my whole, did you ever care about me? I'm not talking about love, since I know that never happened. I mean if you ever cared, even a tiny bit, about me?" Harry asked, he didn't let any emotion show, except for his eyes. His eyes were filled with anxiety and fear, along with the grim acceptance. It was obvious to everyone in the room that he had already braced himself to hear that they never cared for him.

"Harry, just leave it. It's not worth it." Blaise said. She walked up to him and tugged his arm. Harry shook his head.

"No, I've been wondering about this for the past twelve years, if they ever cared. I already know they never wanted me, I just want to know if they ever cared."

"Of course they never cared about you! Who would ever care about you?" Iria sneered.

"Well, I wasn't asking you." Harry snapped, never taking his eyes off of his parents.

"Iria, go back to the kid's room." Lily demanded, matching Harry's gaze alone with her husband. Iria stood still in disbelief.

"But mummy! I don't want to!" She cried, tears rolling down her cheeks.

"Iria, do as your mother said." James said, his deep voice sounding loud in the room.

"But-"

"Now!" James ordered, raising his voice. "This doesn't concern or involve you." Iria let out a loud wail and ran out of the room, leaving the room in complete silence.

"Well?" Harry asked, his voice trembling slightly.

AN: Yes! The long awaited confrontation between Lily and James and Orion and Howie.

Now, this is personal advertising. I have a story called Two Worlds and it's a Beyblade/Harry Potter crossover. You don't really have to be a fan of Beyblade or know what it is to read the story and if you want some background info, then you can check in my bio. But the story is in the HP universe. There are two sites at the bottom of the page. I just want some feed back for that story because I was kinda nervous with it being my first crossover.

gallandro-83- I was thinking about leaving the prophecy out. It could always be there, but it won't be mentioned because Junior doesn't want to complicate things more by adding that, and I began writing this over two years ago, so it really wouldn't apply to many things that the fifth book had. No, Dumbledor and Harry aren't seers. But you are right about Trewlany's predictions (whenever she has them because this doesn't really follow the story line -. And yes, Tyler does know how badly his brother has been treated, he knows that he was tortured by a werewolf, but he doesn't know any details and he doesn't need to be a seer to see what happens in his house. And I guess that you could say that the dimension travelers are catalysts, but they are also there to learn and to inform as shown in this chappie with the fight. Sorry for making it seem like they aren't there, I just had to get the situation out of the way and Harry didn't have a need to be around them before they offered to help him train. And Harry doesn't really care what they are doing because he doesn't want more people to belittle him. He is in an emotionally abused boy, so he doesn't want to be hurt. And I don't feel bad about being told, I just couldn't find any reason to put what they do in, but they did have to be there to observe.
I read Fugitive Prince before, but that was before the last few chappies were updated, and the story seems changed a bit from when I read it. But yes, I would have to agree that it is good.

Siri Kat- I addessed your problem in the third paragraph in the above review reply
