Walking in the Castle after getting ready for the day, he walks directly to the wardstone chamber.
He listens to the magic in the chamber and summons his athame. He cuts his hand and let his blood freely cover the main wardstone.
"Hogwarts, as the Heir of every one of your Founders, I ask you to recharge the wardstone through me. I also ask you to create a connection with the ley lines under the school. Raise the Ancient Wards and create new wards linked to the threats of our world. Search me and see in me the threats to better protect yourself. So mote it be!"
He feels a tug on his magic and is now able to control all the Hogwarts wards, including the Ancient wards.
Hogwarts being a sentient being helped when it came to create new wards. Within ten minutes, Hogwarts became the most secure active building in all of Europe.
Content with his work, he breaks the connection wth the wardstone and stumbles backwards. An elf popped right in.
"Master is a danger to himself. He shouldn't be here alone."
Harry looks around and smiles weakly. "Dobby! Great to see you my friend."
"Dobby is happy to see his Master Harry. But Master must drink these potions, to help him after he bonded with the Castle."
Harry happily takes the potions and immediately feels better. He thanks Dobby, clean himself and all the blood and apparate directly in the Professor's lounge.
He realizes that the Headmistress is already there and is smiling at him. "Good morning Lord Hogwarts. How are you today?"
Harry shakes his head. "If there is someone in this Castle who deserves the right to call me Harry, it is you Headmistress. I won't have neither Professors nor students calling me Lord Hogwarts. And I'm good, as I just bonded with the wardstone."
"Duly noted Harry. And you WHAT?"
Harry gives her a cheschire grin. "Bonded with the wardstone. I also raised the Ancient wards, which have been created by all four Founders but mainly by Lady Ravenclaw. Plus, I added new wards to better protect the school against the newer threats."
The Headmistress is trying to wrap her brains around what she just heard. "Do you mean to tell me that Hogwarts is almost considered a fortress?"
"Indeed Headmistress. In fact, it is the most protected active building in all of Europe. But enough about that, I have a proposal to rebuild Hogwarts curriculum and bring back a lot of classes. Knowledge is the key to always learn from the past. And knowledge must be protected yes, but also shared. There are only a select few topics that are forbidden to be taught, such as anything related to the soul."
She nods at Harry's comment and an exclamation erupts from behind them. Harry immediately raises a shield to cover both him and the Headmistress with his left hand while snapping his fingers for his wand to appear in his right hand. He quickly turn to face whomever is behind them and smiles at them.
"Sorry Professors but I have been training hard and I didn't sense you. Please, come join us."
The Headmistress is stunned by how quickly he reacted, Professor Flitwick is beaming, Professor Sprout is proud while saddened by his need to react that way. Professor Snape nods once and receives a nod back.
"We heard you whehn I opened the door. Indeed, knowledge must be shared but a few must stay forbidden. Totally approving of it, Lord Hogwarts."
"Please Professor Flitwick, call me Harry. I will not require from either the staff nor the students to call me Lord Hogwarts." He clears his throat and gives them a small smile. "This is the plan I made to update and upgrade Hogwarts' curriculum. I welcome the input of anyone to make it better in any way possible."
He hands each one of them a file, containing all his plans for the school's curriculum. After reading for ten minutes, the rest of the staff arrived and are sitting down.
He smiles at them and move to sit near them. "I'm giving you the same file I gave the Headmistress and the heads of Houses. These files are identical, and contain all my proposed plans to readapt Hogwarts' curriculum. I will let you read them quickly and then we can adapt them together."
The give him a small smile, he leaves them alone and return to his seat. Soon, the four head of Houses finish their quick reading and are smiling brightly.
"Amazing proposal you have here, Harry. I see few minor adjustments but the core of your proposal is exactly what we need. In factN I think it's a good blending between the old classes - such as politics and law, magical traditions - and the new ones - an updated muggle studies, a mix of Alchemy, Potions and Chemestry."
"In fact, I agree to most of ut but as Filius said, minor adjustments. You did good, Harry."
He nods in thanks and turn to face Professor Snape. "I agree with the assessment of my collegues but we cannot do it during the school year. Plus, we will need a bigger faculty."
Harry nods in approval. "Of course Professor Snape. In fact, these plans are to start taking effect in September next year. It will give us the time to interview the new faculty members, order the books, establish new lists for students, reorganize the Castle. This last one has been a topic brought by all Founders at least once a day during the summer. They have this idea of what Hogwarts should look like. Thank Merlin that I was and am busy with everything else. I left a portrait with King Ragnok and he has been creating the designs with his teams."
They all look at him incredulously and the first to start laughing is surprisingly Professor Snape. "Not only you met King Ragnok but dumped on him the task of renovating Hogwarts?"
"You haven't seen them this summer. They almost drove me up the wall. In a sense, they were having fun riling me up but between my studies, my exams at the Ministry, my studying ahead, the Quidditch World Cup and my stay at the Weasley, I didn't have time to start working on the designs. Oh and I was going through books both here in Britain and throughout the world to create an extensive curriculum."
The Professors - all of them - look at him in a new light. "Now that its in the open, it gives me more leeway to work on other projects."
"Sorry Harry but you said studying ahead. What did you mean by that?"
"Oh yes! Well? I wasn't going to show up in sixth year without having mastered at least half the year's knowledge. It gives me time to study ahead and study for my finals from January or February. I always did it that way but it was covert. Except for Professor Trelawney's class. I just didn't care enough to work on it."
Every Professor smirk at Harry's blunt statement and they all start talking abiut the improvement needed and the alterations to his plans.
Almost an hour and a half later, everything has been planned and they all head to the Great Hall.
"Once more, I thank you Professors for your time. I hope that I convinced you of my thrive to make things better."
They all nod but Professor Snape stay behind. "First Professor, I'm sorry that I swore at you last night but your opinion of me was or maybe still is too negative that I didn't see any possible way to tell you indirectly of my opinions. That doesn't excuse the fact that it was out of line. Second, I hope we can burn the past, learn from it but turn a new leaf."
Professor Snape nods once at everything he heard. "While I wanted to strangle you after your insult, seeing your memories were a shock. Albus didn't told anyone of the abuse nor that you were with that giraffe. For my animosity towards you, I apologize and would like to turn a new leaf too."
Harry gives him a blinding smile. "Thanks Professor. While sitting my Potions OWL, I realized that I might have stumbled on a cure for lycanthropy. The Wolfsbane potion will be used as the main potion but we might need to add seven ingredients. Commonly found and surprisingly not expensive. I have it here and the interaction between each of the seven ingredients in whatever order when added to the main potion."
He hands the Potion Master a thick scroll and he quickly opens it. He goes through it a few times and turn to face Harry gobsmacked. "This is an amazing find, Potter. Are you free tonight, eight o'clock?"
"I should be free Professor. As my duties are largely vast, I will send you an owl at the end of your last class to confirm my presence."
Professor Snape nods, gives him a small smile and continue reading the scroll, while walking to his seat. Harry chuckles at the Professor's behavior and shrugs, following him.
Entering the Great Hall, he sees almost ninety percent of the student body already present. He looks at his watch and they still have twenty minutes before their required presence. He quickly finds Luna at the Ravenclaw table and sits next to her.
"Hey little sister, how are you?"
"Harry!" She quickly hugs him and thank him more than a few times. "Thank you for what you did yesterday. The Nargles left me alone and a few decided to become clean of all bad energy."
Harry hugs her back strongly. "I'm proud of you, sister. Now, I want you to have something." He takes out a small package from his pocket on his sleeve and hands it to her.
She opens it and gasp at the stunning bracelet. "This bracelet will protect you against everything short of the Unforgivables. Touch it and it will lock your magical signature. No one will be able to take it from you."
She touches it and a small binding white light is seen; she wears it and gives him a big smile. "Thank you. I always wanted a big brother."
"And I a younger sister. Now, I will have to work on a few things but if anything happens, you know what to do."
She nods and thank him again. Unknown to them, everyone's watching them and are taking note to never annoy young Luna again.
He gives her a kiss on the head and playfully messes her hair. He leaves her and head to the Slytherin table.
"Heiress Greengrass, may I please sit?"
"Of course, Lord Hogwarts. You can always sit."
He tilts his head and sits down. He gives her a tight smile.
"Please, call me Harry. And how was your evening?"
"Between your lashing out at Dumbledore" Which earns her a chuckle from him. "to your memories, it was indeed a long evening."
He gives her a wide grin. "And what did my famed Ancestor tell you?"
She gives him a cold look but her eyes are showing a tight control on her amusement. "If a discussion happened, then it will be considered between me and Lord Slytherin."
"An answer worthy of a true Slytherin, Heiress Greengrass. Have a pleasant day, dear Lady."
He winks at her, kisses her hand and takes his leave. She is close to start laughing, as she knows exactly what he did. Elevated her in the Slytherin House within five minutes.
Harry walks towards the Hufflepuff table and grins at Cedric, who blushes at the handsome young man before him. "Heir Diggory, may I please sit?"
"Of course Lord Hogwarts."
He sits down and shakes his head. "No, no one calls me Lord Hogwarts. Call me Harry."
"Then you must call me Cedric."
The Founders are close to laughing at Harry's show, which is a sentiment shared by many at the head table.
"Sure thing. For someone as handsome as you, that will be really easy." He winks at him, earning chuckles from those around them and a blush from Cedric.
"How much did you celebrate yesterday with your House after being declared Champion?"
"Oh, a lot. After talking with Lady Hufflepuff, we decided to throw a party. Which was partly hosted by Lady Hufflepuff."
Harry's laughter erupts in the Great Hall and Harry turns to face Helga. "Really Aunt Helga, you couldn't invite me to the party?"
A third year comments quickly. "And how will you enter our common room?"
Helga chuckles at Harry's face. "Well Mr. Smith, quite easily. How did you think the portrait appeared in your common room? Did you expect me to bring forth a portrait from the Hall across your common room? While I thank you for thinking that I'm that powerful, I actually entered each common room, as I'm the Lord and Head of each House. Is that response satisfactory for you or would you like a step by step description of my actions?"
Harry's equally harsh comment shook the third year who quickly fell silent. Harry turns to face Cedric. "I wanted to come to once again congratulate you for being Hogwarts Champion."
Harry sends him one last wink before heading to the Gryffindor table. He sits with the Quidditch team and gives them his biggest smile.
"Hello Ladies and Gentlemen, what's up?"
This earns him laughter across the Great Hall, as the tension is evacuated from the room.
"We are doing great Harry. And you look even better."
Katie sends him a quick wink, which he returns playfully. "I'm honored in your interest in me, dear Katie. But you got the wrong organs for my liking."
Many people spit their drink/food when they heard Harry's comment. In which Katie erupts in laughter, quickly followed by many.
"I was curious to see how much you changed and it seems that you are even more of a special case than before."
Harry grins at her comment. "Why, thank you Katie. I promise to take you to Hogsmeade but as friends. I'm too young to have a boyfriend and you are like an older sister to me."
Harry quickly hugs her, nods at those around them and head to stand in front of his first friends.
"Ronald, Hermione. Still with yesterday's thoughts?"
Ron grins and shake his head. "I understand why you didn't tell me. Plus you are allowed to have your secrets. Now who here interest you?"
Harry sends him a wide grin and Ron feels like something is about to happen. "A couple guys but don't know about what exactly I feel as I'm only fourteen. But I think your strategic mind can guess whom exactly both guys are."
Ron starts laughing and shake his head. "I like you better like this mate. Welcome back!" Harry sits down and faces Hermione.
"I think of you as my younger brother but too much changed in so little time. How did you cope with everything?"
Which was a fair question and it also explains why everyone is openly listening to his answer.
"In all honesty? I freaked out for an hour, mostly yelling obscenities at Dumbledore for leaving me with such evil magic that it binded half my core and most of my natural abilities. I think the Goblins recorded me yelling insults in all the languages I know. Anyway, after that, one of the Goblin healers stunned me, shoved two Calming Draught in my mouth and told me that if I swear once more time, she will wash my mouth with soap and muggle soap, which we both know is full of dangerous chemicals. That shut me up, not the calming draught. Surprisingly. Anyway, then I took my Lord rings and with the help of all four Founders," He points at the four giant portraits. "they were able to help me not only control my magic but also about my abilities. Long story short, insults, chemicals, Founders."
He laughs at the memory of him insulting Dumbledore in various languages. "I think I might ask King Ragnok to send me a recording. I'm sure he keeps it in his office, to relax when he is stressed."
Hermione doesn't understand why most are laughing and Harry quickly sees it. "When you meet a Goblin, it is polite to say something related to their wealth and the death of their enemies. Like, may your vaults flow with your enemies gold while the blood of your enemies dries up. The more creative you get, the more they will be creative in return. It's truly fascinating. With that in mind, I got ... a little more creative about Dumbledore. Including him being a meddlesome old goat who needs to be tied on the tallest mountain in the world by his beard and start yelling to cause an avalanche, which will turn him into a giant frozen goat to be burned to eternity." He smirks at the shock written on lots of students faces and the mirth present in most the staff.
"Of course, I gave you a shortened and a less gory version too. Since we are eating breakfast, we need to keep the conversation light."
He laughs at his friends faces, messes with Hermione hair, punches lightly Ron's shoulder and head to the head table.
"Headmistress, it is almost eight thirty. Are we expecting any more guests?"
"Minister Fudge, Lady Bones are walking in the Entrance Hall. I reveived a missive fifteen minutes ago that the ICW delegation you referenced to yesterday are requesting access to the school. I granted their request."
Harry's smirk splits his face and chuckles evilly. "Perfect, thank you Headmistress." He hears the main doors opening. "Minister Fudge, Lady Bones, ICW Constable Toppier, welcome to Hogwarts."
Minister Fudge quickly shakes Harry's hand, then Harry kisses Lady Bones' hand. He then hugs the ICW Constable.
"Henry! Ça fait quoi maintenant, un mois qu'on se s'est pas vu? J'ai envie d'un duel, partant mon ami?"
"Un duel avec toi? Toujours partant. So tell me Lord Potter, what should I expect?"
"A goat there, some new news here. Not new to you nor the war mages of course. Come sit my friend. Where is your group?"
"They are doing some checking on the wards. Impressive work my friend."
Harry chuckles at his friend's comment. "Wouldn't you like to know how Hogwarts got such wards? But helas, I don't have the answer ... yet."
He winks then pushes his friend towards the empty seat at the head table.
"Good morning everyone! I hope those of you that slept, did it well. For those who talked to the Founders most of the night, I salute you for your courage. Now that most are either eating or finished witht heir breakfast, I shall show what happened this summer. First and foremost, I will not show the rituals that happened at Gringotts as its a House matter. Said knowledge is wrapped by Potter magic. For those of you who understand what I mean, please explain it to those who don't."
Harry snaps his fingers and the windows become tinted and the ceiling becomes dark once more.
They watch Harry heading to Hogwarts then the memories shows him swearing for about a minute and most turn red at the wording. The memories quickly turn to his studying before taking his OWLs, when he takes them.
He then shows his training and studying the first months of his sixth year, numerous discussions with the Founders about the school, classes and any possible subject. His short visits to the ICW in Geneva, where he talked with Constable Toppier about Grindelwald. He shows then his many duels with Constable Toppier and most are subjugated by his skills and powers.
He then shows them flashes of the Quidditch World Cup and transport them to September 1st, when the school years starts again and the memories stops then.
"For most of you, these memories aren't worth a lot but for me, it was my first summer that I got to fully enjoy and not being with those ... malditos animales que sirven para ser sacrificados. Anyway, requesting you here thid morning wasn't about the memories but about officially telling all four Houses to get over the fucking fact of supremacy. I personally don't give a single damn about who is better than whom and for what reason. What I want this school to be is for Hogwarts to be fully recognized as the best school in the world. Godric, Helga, Rowena and Salazar have asked me to make this reality. And so help me Merlin himself won't stop me if I hear idiotic comments about who is better than whom. We all have magic, and only for that reason, we should and we must cherish it. Grow it and make powerful. Each one of you can be capable of being an animagi, producing a Patronus and of Alchemy, Conjuration of raw materials and much more "difficult" subjects. Instead of one House throwing curses at another, exchange knowledge. Slytherin House should use their cunningness to be the best, to gain knowledge. Ravenclaw House should use their inner abilities to not only learn the classes but do self study in subjects not given at Hogwarts. Hufflepuff House are as ruthless as any House and they should use the fact of being underestimated to gain knowledge. Gryffindor should use their courage and start closing the gaps between the Houses, gaining knowledge and new allies."
He stops to drink some water. "But that is not all. A Slytherin can have courage, I know of three ICW hit-wizards who were Slytherins. Ravenclaws aren't only about knowledge, as they can also understand better certain societal problems and get involved in them, to fix them. Hufflepuff isn't only ruthless but also strong willed and can bend any problem and find its solution. Gryffindors aren't only about courage but also about forcing knowledge and societal, helping those who needs it. There isn't a single trait fully describing a House but at the end of the day, it is the blending of all four Houses that makes Hogwarts the first and biggest school of magic in the world. Do not let prejudice and older mentality to stop you from seeing what is in fromt of your eyes. Embrace those differences as at the end of the day,it is our differences that help us get closer and actually learn about one another."
Members of all four Houses stood up and started clapping, followed by those hosted at the staff table.
He raises his hands and silence falls on the Great Hall. "Divided, we shall perish. United, we shall thrive!"
Clapping starts again and he bows his head. "You have the next couple of hours free of classes. After lunch, classes shall start again. Please remember my words and work together. Have a nice day everyone and may Lady Magic bless every one of you!"
He bows once more and walks to the head table. "So Headmistress, was I clear enough with me messages?"
Snorts are heard from almost every person sitting at the table. Minister Fudge is the first to reply.
"Lord Hogwarts, I must say that your speech has been enlightening. Will we expect you today in the Wizengamot?"
"Of course Minister Fudge. I thank you for your kind words but since I am the Heir to all four Founders, it is my duty to bring this school to its full glory. Dark, light, gray. They are just words, explaining how Lady Magic allowed each one of us to use her gift. The real distinction that is needed is between dark/light and evil magic. One can summon a rock and bash it on its enemies. The dummoning charm is considered light magic and yet, it can be used to kill. The evil magic I talk about are three main categories: the Unforgivables, the soul magic and destroying the natural flow of magic."
He stops talking and asks mentally an elf to send him a glass of water. It is when he turns around that he realizes that every student is looking at him. He groans loudly which makes the Founders erupt in laughter.
"Godric, not a word. I know, I know. I should have raised a privacy ward. I thought they started leaving."
"That will teach you to not forget about wards. I thought you lots of wards and you never use them!"
Harry facepalm himself and groans more. "Godric, you make it sound you are more angry of me not using your wards than me not thinking about privacy."
Godric sends him a weird look. "Of course, did you really expect something else?"
Harry looks towards the ceiling and silently count to ten. "Having both yours and Salazar's traits is a curse Godric. Let me focus on my guests, we will be debating all about wards tonight."
Godric sends him an evil smile, making Harry groan again and focuses his attention to the amused adults. "Sorry about that, my Ancestor is really passionate about wards. To answer your question Minister, yes I shall be at the whole meeting today."
Minister Fudge chuckles lightly. "Noted Lord Hogwarts. Your comments about light and dark magic is interesting and we shall discuss more about it in the future."
"Absolutely, Minister. I'm technically a sixth year student but since I'm mostly self taught and doing lots of independent studies, my schedule is mostly flexible. Now, I will be leaving in about half an hour to the Ministry. Will we be going together or you need to leave early?"
"I will need to leave early. I expect to host you for lunch, Lord Potter."
"I graciously accept, Minister. May Lady Magic protect you Minister." He tilts his head and smiles at the man.
"May she protect you as well." He bows his head and leave.
Lady Bones chuckles at her boss behavior. "You sure know how to create chaos, Lord Hogwarts."
Harry laughs at her comment. "Please, call me Harry. Chaos? No. But organized societal discussions about our future? Without a doubt, Lady Bones. This is the main reason of the existence of our sacred chamber."
She smirks at him. "I see indeed all four Founders traits in you, Harry. I have a feeling thr next few years will be fun."
"On that, I can promise that fun it will be. May Lady Magic stand by you, Lady Bones."
"You as well, Lord Potter."
Constable Teppier comes forward. "Come on lad, I know you are itching to duel. Countryside?"
"You know me so well, my desr Constable. What is the wager?"
They both leave together and head to the countryside, purposely ignoring the student body following them.
"Wager? Ogden finest, 1900. Two bottles."
"Quoi? Only that? I expected more from you, my dear Constable. I will raise it to five Ogden finest, 1875. Plus a pint of butterbeer. The large ones, not the small ones."
Toppier nods and shakes Harry's hands. "Deal."
"Now that's my man. Regular dueling rules?"
"Indeed Harry." Harry nods and waves his wand to change his clothes to dueling robes. Imitated by the Constable, they raise protective wards and fall in position.
They start immediately and throw various curses, light gray and borderline dark at each other. First blood is given to Harry, and he easily transfigures many rocks into various animals. "Attack him but do not injure him."
He throws various bombarding curses at him while receives his first spell on his arm.
The Constable quickly goes on the defensive when he is attacked by various animals, while shielding or redirecting the spells towards his opponent.
Harry turns into one of his Animagus forms and flames behind the Constable, transforming back quickly to his body and stunning him. He groans when he realizing that it was an illusion and senses spells coming from behind him. He jumps in the air and transforms himself into his air phoenix.
Turning invisible, he grabs the Constable and flames him a few meters away. He fly high in the sky then decides to drop directly on his friend. He is able to make the Constable lose his wand and they start fightning physically.
They start a whole other fight, both wandlessly and wordlessly. "Constable, you are losing your touch."
"Shut up you little brat. I will show you who's losing his touch."
Harry smirks widely and goes on the offensive, sensing his enemy getting tired.
Every one watching are trying to wrap their minds around the fact that those two have been fighting for fifteen minutes and went through wand, physical and now wandless fighting. The Professors are shocked to see Harry Potter fighting like a trained hit-wizard while the students are in awe by the prowess showed by one of their peers.
Harry summons dozens of snakes and hisses at them to incapacitate his opponent. He throws stunner after stunner to end the fight and finally the barrage of spells between them reaches an end.
Summoning his wand to his hand, he clears the air between them and starts laughing at the sight greeting him. "Are you confortable, my dear friend? It seems you found a new yoga position."
He hisses at the snakes to head to the forest and helps his friend. "You and your snakes! Next duel, you will not use any of your abilities."
"Sure, I can still win. Good duel though, I was itching for something fun."
The Professors walks towardd them and the Headmistress is able to summarize for them all. "Harry, this is unbelievable. I know you were dumbing yourself in class these last few years but this is another level."
"Indeed Headmistress. But remember that I already tooky OWLs and I'm halfway through the sixth year cursus. That plus I trained more than once at the ICW and more than only this summer. Henry here has been tutoring me for the last three years. He's the one who helped me get in touch with the Flamels to return what was theirs."
Understanding dawn on everyone, Professor and students alike. Harry fives her a big smile and waves his wand, Wizengamot robes ready and not a single inch of him shoeing that he was dueling minutes before
"Professors, I really need to leave to the Wizengamot. Henry, are you coming with me?"
"Sure, but what about my team?"
"I'm grateful Pernelle showed me how to make portkeys." He summons a rocks, enlarges it and quickly creates a portkey.
"Now, unlike last time, don't say the activation word. Said word is written on the rock. If I remember correctly, they are less than ten right?"
A voice from behind them startle them. "Indeed we are, Lord Potter. Thank you for the portkey."
"No worries Alex. It will drop you in the Atrium. Now old man, are you done?"
"Oi! Old? I'm twenty-nine!"
"Cool and I'm fourteen. Fifteen years difference between us, which makes you old." Harry looks at Henry and sighs. "For Merlin sake Henry, if you want me to do my spell, just tell me!"
Harry waves his wand and Henry is as clean and good to go. "Thanks Harry. I shall endeavor for next time."
"Good, after how many times, you are finally learning. Now, hold my arm." He turns to face the Professors and smile at them. "I shall return between nine and ten tonight. See you tonight."
