A/N Thanks for your reviews and support.
fanficnewbee: Thanks for your review my friend. They will get what's coming to them. Snape did what he thought was best.
76: Thanks for your review my friend. I'm glad you liked it.
WhiteElfElder: Thanks for your review my friend. Harry doesn't know his family. The first kindness he received was in a time that wasn't his own. It's not about holding a grudge but being unwilling to trust those who have hurt him in the past. Whether knowing or not it is in one's blood that defines a seventh of a seventh.
DarkRavie: Thanks for your review my friend.
Harrison's POV
That night they were put back into the Slytherin dorms. Many of the Slytherins gave them suspicious looks but didn't say anything. At least while the other professors were there to hear.
When they were gone however it was Lucius who broke the silence, "You two have been gone for two years. Do you really think you deserve to be accepted back so easily?"
Both Harrison and Severus were only fourth years. Lucius Malfoy was a sixth year Slytherin perfect and family heir. He likely had his family magics behind him. Magic that he had been trained to use since he was old enough to hold a wand.
The two fourth years weren't worried however. Not like anyone else their age would be. No they had trained under some of the most powerful wizards in history. Spending time with Salazar thought them the Slytherin Hierarchy. Now that he knew this he knew that Lucius was the Slytherin King. It was likely that he had been for several years.
People like Avery who Harrison could see was fingering their wands were the court. Princes or princesses, and the knights. Slytherin code allowed any member of the House to challenge the king to the right of the throne. He was tired of the oppressive natures. If they wouldn't change he would make his challenge.
Severus whispered so that only Harrison could hear, "Don't do it. He's not worth it."
The cold look in his green eyes must have said it all. Severus stepped back. His best friend would support him but he didn't want anyone to curse them with their backs turned.
His attention returned to the older Slytherin as he said in an ice cold tone, "I don't care what you think you are entitled to, Malfoy. Mine and Severus' are none of your concern. If you continue to harass us, you will not like the consequences."
The familiar voice of Bellatrix Black laughed out, "What do you think you can do? You are just a fourth year. On top of that you have not attended a magical school for three years. You couldn't even use a simple levitation charm when you left. What do you think you can pull off now?"
Harrison's eyes seemed to glow with untold power. They all thought he was little more than a squib. How wrong they were. It wasn't that he didn't have magic but that he had too much. Too much and not enough control.
Now was different from back then. He could not control his jumps through time. He could however control his magic. If they thought he was the same scared eleven year old then they were sorely mistaken.
He raised his chin defiantly as he replied, "Back off. Now."
The doors to the common room opened, permitting a new person in. There was no backing down from the older kids. It must be their Head of House. Marvolo Slytherin turned that title into a joke. If he was a true Head of House then he would look after his students better. It seemed the man only cared about the purebloods.
Lucius said sounding like the arrogant pureblood he was, "Make your claim then, Evans. Let's see if you have the power behind your words."
Harrison said coldly, "I, Harrison Evans do so challenge Lucius Abraxas Malfoy to the Slytherin Throne."
The magical pressure in the air increased dramatically. His magic was responding to the challenge. There were several gasps of surprise and the Malfoy Heir's eyes narrowed.
Lucius snarled, "I, Lucius Abraxas Malfoy, the current Slytherin King, do hereby accept, Harrison Evans challenge to the Slytherin Throne."
Immediately the students put themselves as close to the walls as they could get. One student transfigured a dueling platform. Severus was also hugging the wall. His onyx eyes showed the confidence he held in his friend. They gave each other s barely perceptible nod.
Harrison jumped up onto the platform. Lucius was up there soon after. They both entered their stances. Harrison favored the one taught to him by Gordric.
Some of the older students laughed. To them it was an untrained mudblood trying to mimic a stance and failing. Still he didn't respond just waiting for the referee to announce the start.
A voice said, "3. 2. 1. Begin."
Harrison started with, " Tirar."
In Galician it meant throw. It worked similar to that of a flipindo. There was more power behind tirar than normal latin spells.
Lucius responded with a protego. It barely held up against his spell. Harrison could see the cracks that were deep in the shield. A simple shield spell would not hold up against his next spell however.
"Máximo Chama!"
Lucius had to throw himself down to avoid the flames. His flames were not a normal red but green just like his eyes. It was the same as his aura as well.
Before the other could react Harrison shouted, "Stupefy!"
A red beam hit the older boy's chest and he crumpled to the ground. Harrison turned to look each of the other members of his house. They all had varying degrees of shock on their faces. To them there was no way a puny fourth year could have pulled that off.
Harrison said a sense of tiredness coming over him, "Now if you don't mind, I want to rest. It's already been a long day. Far longer than any of you could possibly understand."
Then he made his way towards the dorms. Students parted bowing their heads slightly as he passed. Severus was hot on his heels.
Already the house elves had set up a dorm for him and Severus. Their beds were the only ones in it. Harrison pulled his trunk from inside his robes. Experience taught him to keep it in his robes. Just in case he walked through time earlier than expected.
Both he and Severus silently cast a enlargement charm, returning the trunks back to normal size. Harrison could have cast his spells silently if he chose to in the duel. He didnt want to play his hand too early. The less they knew about his abilities the better.
Severus said his voice sounding tired, "It's a good thing you finished that quickly. They will be looking to take away your power. At least they don't know the full extent of your spell casting. Even máximo chama is only a grade five spell."
Harrison sighed in return silently warding their dorms, "I'm going to sleep, Sev. If I am right we will be expected back at classes tomorrow."
Severus asked concern entering his eyes as Harrison stumbled heading over to his bed, "Are you okay?"
He leaned on the bed shaking his head. No he was not okay. Stepping through time had drained his core. On top of that he had been training before it happened. Using the spells he had chosen for the duel, only made his usual exhaustion worse.
Severus inquired moving to his trunk, "Do you need that potion, Salazar gave us? I have the recipe so it won't be impossible to recreate when we run out."
Harrison shook his head as he answered, "No. I think I just need to sleep it off. Wake me up in time to go to breakfast, please."
Severus smiled gently as he said, "Of course. Sleep well."
With that Harrison crawled into bed. He could change clothes in the morning. The moment his head hit the pillow he fell into a dreamless sleep.
