After Harry quick exit, Augusta took out a pensieve and starting dumping everything she saw regarding Harry.

"These memories concern Harry. He is doing literal miracles, like you too being totally fine with a new potions. His life was hell on earth and he has been dealt a bad hand."

Neville snorts at the understatement. "Gran, that is the biggest understatement I have ever heard. From his relatives treating him like a slave to the danger he went through at school, its a wonder he didn't lose his mind yet."

Neville starts dumping memories and both revived Longbottom head in the pensieve. They come out of it almost three hours later both in awe and angry.

"What the hell has been going on all this time?"

Augusta starts explaining everything and they both secretly agree with Neville, its a wonder he's still sane.

"Are you telling me that Harry has been working on that potion since reentering the magical world?"

"Indeed and the Potion Guild approved the potion and well you saw the rest."

All four Longbottom spent the next seven hours discussing their lives, Harry, their House, Harry and any other news.

Harey heads to the Great Hall when he feels someone behind him. He uses the air around him to shield him from anything and raises his wand.

Neville is standing there with his mouth open. "Sorry Neville, I'm a bit tense. Are you parents alright?"

Neville gives him a wide smile and almost tackles him to the ground. "Thank you, thank you, thank you! You gave me everything I always have been wishing for."

Harry hugs him back. "No need to thank me brother. I should have been raised with you after all. Let us head to breakfast. How are your parents?"

"They left this morning and thank Merlin no journalist was near the hospital. I bought a wand, as I was using my father's."

"What? Why didn't you tell me? I would have forced you and bought you one."

Neville shrugs it off and focuses on talking about his parents. They enter the Great Hall and head to the Ravenclaw table. "Little moon, how are you today?"

"I'm fine. How are you? I felt you were sad yesterday but I couldn't find you."

"I'm all better now, little moon. How are your classes?"

"Great! Thank you for everything."

"No thanks needed, little moon. Where are you friends?"

Lune starts laughing. "Around you silly."

"Of course, that does make sense." He winks at her. "Hello gents and gals, how are you today?"

"We are good Lord Hogwarts ..."

"No, call me Harry. While I might be running left and right in Albion, everyone in this school calls me Harry."

The young Raven smiles in thanks. "We are doing good, Harry. Luna is very smart and she always helps us. And we keep going on to discover the Castle. It's so big!"

Harry smiles at the young second year. "Are you related to Daphnee Greengrass? You look like her younger doppelganger."

"She is my sister, yes."

Harry grins and winks at her. "Come here, I want to tell you a secret." He whispers in her ear. "While playing the Ice Queen, I heard she knows how to freeze guys private bits." He laughs at the glint he saw in her eyes. "It's a great tool to have. Ask her to show you all how to do it."

"Thanks Harry, you're really fun!"

Harry messes with their hair and heads to the head table. "Good morning Professors, how are you this fine morning?"

Minerva sends him a glare followed with a smile. "We were just discussing the curious facts that you can take your NEWTs. Care to explain?"

Harry raises his eyes and swear to curse his friend. "What I do is highly unusual but I would like some normalcy, however fragile it is. Since my dear friend yelled it to all magical Britain, I don't have any choice than to take them."

"Good then can you please check if there is truly a curse on the DADA position?"

"I will not teach DADA. I'm fourteen years old for Merlin sake. I will check if there's a curse but I totally refuse to teach DADA. I will start a dueling and defense group but that's it. And its non-negotiable."

He sits down, closes his eyes to bond with Hogwarts. He lets himself flow in the ward scheme and sees a large, black mass of magic over the runes protecting the DADA classroom. He grabs that magic and slowly starts to eradicate it.

Everyone is watching Harry's aura raised in shields around him for five minutes before he opens his eyes and coughs violently.

"I hate Tom Riddle. The day I will find him will be the day I will kill him. Repeatedly. Until Lady Magic asks me to stop killing him."

He tries to stand up but falls on his chair. House elves pop in with four potions. "Master Harry always does things like that. He is like Master Godric. You should have eaten first, Master Harry."

Harry looks at the elves, amused of their antics. "Sure, thanks for the potions. Can you please send me double the regular amount of breakfast?"

"Of course Master Harry."

He shakes his head amusingly and starts eating, purposely ignoring everyone. He raises privacy wards around the head table.

"The day I take hold of Tom Riddle will be the day he will beg for mercy. He put a curse to kill the DADA Professor if said Professor doesn't agree for a one year contract. The curse will absorb the dead Professor's magic and slowly grow. The curse has been lifted, thank Merlin. And no, I will not become a Professor. I am fourteen and I want to enjoy whatever time I have."

Minerva sighs in defeat. "Fine, but you have to find a DADA Professor for next year."

"No can do, Headmistress. I can give you a list of contacts both in the various Ministries and the ICW for hiring new Professors." He snaps his fingers and a two feet parchment is levitated to the Headmistress.

"Here you go, all those I talked to and/or I personally know. Those in blue I know and those in gray I talked to."

"That's even better than expected. Thank you Harry."

He sends her a large, white smile and continues eating his large breakfast. "Thankfully, I'm free today. Except a few House issues, I don't have to run around the world."

Breakfast becomes relaxing and he starts talking about his full knowledge with the Professors and heavy debates are seen at thr head table.

Harry excuses himself and sits at the Hufflepuff table. "Good morning everyone. Don't ask about myself, I think I will lose it if I hear my voice and my name once more. Tell me about yourselves."

Andrew happily jumps in and starts going on and embarrassing Cedric, who is as red as he can be.

"Andrew, shut up!" Every Hufflepuff look at Cedric in shock. "What?"

"Cedric, you never swore before."

Harry looks at everyone and starts chuckling. "Then I might be a bad influence. I swear as much as a drunken sailor. That's one of the side effect if being trained by hit-wizards. I apologize for any inconvenience."

"Don't worry Harry. While I do swear, I do it privately. Andrew just pushed my buttons to provoke me."

He sends his friend a glare Harry didn't think Cedric being capable of. "Well, I do not want to be the reason of any fights so I eill take my leave and talk to you guys later."

He quickly walks to his Gryffindor friends ans smiles at Neville. "What's up?"

Ron sends him a small smile but Hermione is glaring at him. "What's your problem?"

"What my problem is that you are a liar, Harry Potter."

And with that, his good mood vanishes and the temperature of the Great Hall slowly gets colder. Harry's eyes show lightning and are glowing. A light wind is circling around Harry.

"Care to swear on your magic that I'm a liar, Miss Granger?"

"I don't need to, it's clear that you lie and get all the credit."

Everyone now feels like they stepped outside in January and Harry flares a flame in his hand. "I, Lord Harry Charlus Potter, swear on my body, soul and magic that everything I said and did was the truth to the best of my capabilities. So mote it be."

The flame reaches almost a meter high before circling around Harry. "Our friendship is over, Miss Granger. From now on, you are the sole student to call me Lord Hogwarts when you speak with me. Your lack of trust and respect is not unexpected. Before making accusations against anyone, you need to have proof, magically supported proof. Your need to be number one clouds your judgment and that is one of the reasons I didn't show my true potential from our first year. If you falsely accuse anyone else, a note will be added to your file. A second time will result in a week's suspension. You do not want to hear what will happen on the third offense. I thank you for ruining my morning." He quickly exits the Great Hall and most of them look at her angrily.

Ron shakes his head and leave with Neville to try to calm him down when both hear an explosion coming from the courtyard. They gape when they see Harry destroying large rocks like they were paper balls.

After ten rocks destroyed, he vanishes everything and sighs heavily.

"For every success, there is a problem. And for every problem, there is a success. I guess its a matter of perspective."

Neville and Ron exchange a look of astonishment. "That's profound, Harry. Are you okay?"

"Oh yes. I knew it was coming, it was a matter of time before she loses herself to jealousy. Anyway, go make sure no one kills her. I'm fine, I had to let go of my anger and dueling - or in this case, destroying large rocks - helps me calm down."

They give him a small smile and return to the Great Hall.

"You may come out of the shadows, Cedric."

"Are you sure you're okay? You seemed pretty angry."

"Yes, truthfully. I considered her family, my sister but she has serious jealousy issues. I expected it when everyone heard of my capabilities of taking my NEWTs. Are you and Andrew fine?"

"Yes, he apologized the second you left. So ..."

Harry raises privacy wards all around them. "So. I like you Cedric, a lot. But, with everything I am doing, I have this gigantic target on my back. I need at least a few months for dust to settle down and the hype around myself calms down."

Cedric snorts loudly. "Harry, just with your actions at the Ministry dealing with the terrorists, they wanted to give you a First Class. Everything you keep doing is ... no one ... you don't hear what the students of all three schools are saying. For them, you are this icon they wish to be."

"Great power, great responsabilities, Cedric. Anyways, even if I only announced myself as Lord Hogwarts, I still can't take you to the Yule Ball. I'm the owner of the Castle, I can't open the Ball with you. Sorry."

"I expected it, Harry. Who will you accompany you?"

"Why, jealous Cedric? Joking. I'm going alone but will be dancing with most of the staff and with all three Champions." Harry kisses his cheek and winks a him.

"When you reach seventeen, I will be able to take you on a date. Which is, if I remember correctly, in April. The eight? The tenth?"

"The eight of April, yes. And I will see if I agree or not."

"Of course, Heir Diggory." Harry drops the wards and head towards the school, smiling at all the students that look at him.

He enters the Headmistress office. "I guessed most of you will be here. What happened?"

"Well ... she and Ron started shouting at each other. Neville got fed up, stunned both of them, levitated them to a classroom, threw a Finite and closed the classroom after leaving them in it. They haven't left yet."

Harry looks at them with an amused face before laughing loudly. "I always knew he had it in him, bloody Gryffindor. Is there a Professor with them?"

"Yes, Professor Moody."

Harry ogles at them. "You left Mad-Eye with two emotional teenagers? He will petrify them and throw them in the nearest garbage bin."

They hear the door open and all turn around. "Almost did that. Curious to know how you know how I think?"

"I was trained by your ICW equivalent, Mad-Eye. In fact, he ingrained both of your psychopatic behavior in my brain."

"You were trained by the Lone Tiger? And you're still alive?"

"Indeed. I survived seventeen fucking near death experiences due to that fucker. Poison, knives, swords, even let a pack of wolves on me, the maniac. Where are they, Mad Eye?"

Said Professor grins and waves his wand. Both his friends are stunned and looking fearful.

Harry sighs in frustration. "What did you do to them? They look like they saw Death himself."

Madam Pomphrey scans them and finds nothing wrong, except ... "Moody, you poisoned them with venom? Are you insane?"

"Relax, its the low kind. They will be safe and sound."

Harry shakes his head. "How kind of you, Mad-Eye. Please, next time, don't poison my students. I do not want to deal with angry parents. And yes, I will take your fun away."

Mad-Eye grins and laughs. "Indeed, he did train you. I will send him a thank you note." And he leaves them behind him.

"Bloody maniacs and their insane training." Harry runs through his potion vials on his belt before taking one. "Ron, Miss Granger. Please open your mouth, I will drop a bezoar. You will be fine within minutes."

Five minutes later, Ron grins madly at him. "I want to be trained! This is cool."

Harry cannot stop himself from smiling. "Trust me, when you're poisoned for the twelve time, it isn't cool. Miss Granger, how are you feeling?"

"Good, thank you Ha.. Lord Hogwarts."

"Perfect. You are both dismissed and for Merlin's great powers, don't argue."

They both nod and leave the office. "Yes Professor Snape, I will make you one."

He nods in thanks and quickly leave the office. "May Merlin protect us from insane psychopath like Mad-Eye. Anyway, I'm going to pop in the Ministry and Gringotts. I have a few errands I need to do and yes Headmistress, one of the reasons for my visit at the Ministry is to schedule my NEWTs."

She looks smug and smirks at him. "Is one of your NEWTs in Teaching, Harry?"

"Just for that question, I won't take it. I will not be a Professor, I refuse completely. Headmistress, I wanted to show you my second animagus form. Your insistence to ... push me towards teaching is also forcing me to not show it to you."

He winks at her and leave everyone laughing at a gaping Headmistress.

Professor Sprout wipes her tears. "He got you there, Minerva. Merlin, your face is priceless."

Harry walks directly to the WEA and asks for Lady Marchbanks.

"Lord Potter, am I guessing right for your visit today?"

"Yes, I'm here to schedule my NEWTs. Everyone pressures me to do them."

"I've had examiners from the ICW requesting to test you. Most of them were present in your OWLs."

"When can we start? I won't more than three days."

"More than doable, Harry. With Defense against the dark arts and Potions already taken care of, it will be even possible to do them in two days."

"Perfect. I will apparate in and out of the department directly to not raise suspicion. Let's work on the schedule."

Twenty minutes later, Harry apparates in the Atrium and head to the DMLE. He is treated as one of theirs and Lady Bones quickly comes out to greet him.

"Lord Potter, how may I help you?"

"My High Chancellor told me about Dumbledore's demise. I think that we should raise wards and spell everyone who will be close to Dumbledore before he meets the Veil. I have my doubts that he will try anything to get back at me."

She nods at him and writes down his idea.

"Noted, Lord Potter. We will also increase security around the Veil before, during and after the execution."

Harry gives his thanks and apparate on the stairs before Gringotts.

He quickly enters the bank and meets with Ragnok concerning the upgrades to St-Mungos, the renovations of Potter Castle and the mirror business.

"They are ready to sell mirrors as of next Monday."

"Perfect. We can send Beauxbatons and Durmstrang mirrors and show the three tasks. And open the mirror business in both France and .. is it Sweden?"

"Sweden yes. Great idea. Let's use the first week as a test run, if it works, we will add an extention in the back of the main store and create a whole workshop to create mirrors on an industrial level."

"Create the extra building from now and start hiring right away, with the usual secrecy contracts. Are the mirrors trademarked under my name?"

"We created a company named PCo and opened the mirror business under it. All trademarks are under the PCo name."

"Perfect! Keep the BNN under its current company but secretly link the ownership company of the BNN to PCo. How many empty buildings do I own in the financial district?"

"Seven. Three in Diagon Alley, two in Knocturn Alley and twi in Horizont Alley."

"Perfect, I like having options. Do I own any empty buildings in other countries?"

"Under the Potter name, three in magical Paris, two in magical Brussels, magical Berlin, magical Barcelona. One empty building on the main street of magical Stockholm and magical ... Moscow? How did you got that? It's under Fidelius, hence why no one knows about it."

"Good. Raise another Fidelius and make me the secret keeper. Here is my magical approval." He signs with a blood quill and hands it to Ragnok. "I have a feeling this building will be important in the future. Anyway, we can open one in Paris for western Europe and one in Stockholm for eastern Europe. Obviously, we will offer watches, bracelets, necklaces and other jewerly with mirror communication. That will expand the business and bring in even more income."

Ragnok grins and they spend the next thirty minutes dealing with Harry's new idea.

Harry enjoys the view of a regular day at Hogwarts. Students flying and enjoying their afternoon, others enjoying the fresh air in the courtyard, and the rest walk in the corridors to a destination or another.

He slowly walks towards the Entrance Hall and quietly walk to the Great Hall. He sits at the head table and enjoy the peace, while it lasts. He feels someone poking his shoulder.

"Yes Sirius?"

"Damn, how did you know? Anyway, read this. It explains everything."

Lord Potter,

Dumbledore's execution is scheduled for Friday, the 5th of November. He has been purged of any information by Constable Toppier a full report should be handed at the opcoming Secueity Council.

Yours truly,

Lady Amelia Bones

Harry burns the letter quickly. "Thank you Sirius. Staying to eat with us?"

"Sure Harry. What's new with you?"

"Nothing. Went to the Ministry to dicuss matters with certain officials then went to Gringotts for the upgrade for St-Mungos, my main residence, dealing with a few businesses and finally soent some time with Ragnok, discussing about anything and nothing. A regular day in my life. How was your day?"

"Well, Dumbledore's trial was really difficult to go through. We then started discussing about the need to put safeguards against corruption and being infiltrated again. We then discussed about supporting your Foundation to make the wolfscure even more available. Then today's session finished and almost every single Lord and Lady want to start negotiations for any kind of alliance."

Harry shakes his head. "Let me start with the last one. The House of Potter has numerous allies through treaties. I will reactivate those before looking for new ones. That is my stance for the moment. I welcome their help to make it more available. Safeguards are almost an obligation after the fiasco that happened a few days ago. And I read about his trial in the newspaper, I don't need to talk more about him."

"Noted Harry. Now, what's new with you?"

"Depending on the next few weeks, I need to find a date for ... well you know. It can't be a student, as I'm Lord Hogwarts and I won't go with anyone else than the one in my mind. Hence why I'm stuck."

"And with whom will he go?"

"I don't know and it doesn't bother me, as I know he feels the same for me. Oh, I forgot! Shopping!"

He almost giggles, which earns him raised eyebrows by everyone around him. "If there is one thing I love to do but couldn't before is shopping. I'm going to Paris to buy the best clothes for.. you know."

Sirius chuckles at Harry's declaration. "I'm coming with you. As your High Chancellor, I will need to be there so I need good clothes too."

Harry gets a glint in his eyes and Sirius groans loudly. "Sirius, is it a good idea to host the Ministers/President for the ... you know?"

More than a few students are getting frustrated at Harry for not saying what is the you know.

"You know Harry, that's a great idea. But talk with Minerva first, don't spring it on her right away."

"Sure thing Sirius. Now, I have this damned ceremony on December 12th, I also have the security council meeting on December 1st and the first task on November 24th. Shopping this Sunday?"

"Are you paying?"

"Sure, if you pay next time." Sirius shakes his head and points at Salazar.

"You have been spending too much time with him, Harry."

"And the other three Founders too and see how I turned out, Padfoot."

They both exchange looks before laughing together. An agreeable and enjoyable evening.

Through the next two days, Harry was spending between eight and ten hours at the WEA going through all his NEWTs.

Ragbok pulled a surprise and opened the French mirror store the same day the main store in Britain opened and the Stockholm store will open the day after.

The DMLE is on a foot of war, as Dumbledore's execution is that same evening. Harry enters his main living room to see Remus and Sirius talking together.

"Do we need anything with us?"

"Nope, the sooner we get rid of him, the sooner I will feel better."

"Same here, Sirius. Same here."

Remus and Sirius Floo to the DMLE while Harry apparates directly in the death chamber. "Head Unspeakable, thank you for assisting us."

"Lord Potter, no thanks needed. We are here for extra security, to make sure nothing unexpected happens."

Harry nods and looks around him. Door secured, walls reinforced, runes blocking any sudden appearances and everyone is armed with more than their wands.

Harry nods in approval and activates his mage sight. He sees Sirius and Remus walking towards him.

"What is going on?"

"He kept screaming for anyone to heard that you are going dark. At least fifteen aurors stunned him as they were getting tired of him insulting you."

Harry waves it with a tight smile. "While I appreciate their actions for defending my person, it isn't required. Oh, here they come."

Harry takes a few steps back and watches the aurors placing Dumbledore in front of the Veil. Harry quietly raises anti-apparation and anti-portkey wards, earning him nods from a few Unspeakables.

They wake Dumbledore and he looks around, shocked to find himself close to the end.

He finds Harry and smirks. "Harry my boy, I'm disappointed in ..." Harry silenced him and grins.

"Dumbledore, I only have one thing to tell you: good luck in the afterlife. Hundreds are disappointed of you. Bad Dumbledore, bad."

Sirius pushes Dumbledore in the Veil while Harry is saying a prayer. "Lady Magic, please help us with our decision. May your guidance open our eyes. So mote it be."

Everyone feels a majestic presence and feel that they did the right thing. Harry thanks her and he feels her hugging him.

"Right, Lady Magic blessed us. Let's hope and work to make sure we never have to do that again."

Harry dispels the wards and leave the death chamber with Sirius and Remus.

"Lord Potter; there is a prophecy in your name."

"Head Unspeakable Croaker, please, lead the way."

The man stops walking a second and quickly head towards the prophecy.

"Head rings can record prophecies so ... " Harry raises a few privacy wards and smash it.

"The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approaches... born to those who have thrice defied him, born as the seventh month dies... and the Dark Lord will mark him as his equal, but he will have power the Dark Lord knows not... and either must die at the hand of the other, for neither can live while the other survives... the one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord will be born as the seventh month dies..."

"Well that explains why Dumbledore was raising me that way. Just like a pig to be slaughtered. He wanted me to sacrifice myself. Which is why he was trying his grandfather show until the last second. Anyway, thank you Head Unspeakable."

They return to Hogwarts and Harry heads to his office where he sits down and think about what to do next.

He quickly starts planning his next steps, including securing the first task, overseeing the new barracks with the Potter Captain, being present for the opening of the new St-Mungos, and installing the mirrors around the whole area of the first task.

Harry sighs and wills his Potter ring to show the prophecy to the Founders.

"I'm not bothered by it, I'm just unable to wrap my brain on how someone can destroy someone's else life for just a vague prophecy. Anyway, I need to find the pathetic worm and kill him. Then, I'm going to relax for a while before dealing with the really old prophecy."

While talking with his Ancestors, he hears a soft tap on one of his windows. Harry waves his wand and a majestic eagle fly in.

"How did ... I just took the tests until four this afternoon! How did they already finish correcting everything?"

The eagle bows his head and Harry scratch it, earning a happy croon from the eagle.

"Thank you, majestic bird. Do you want to eat something?"

The eagle nods and Harry calls the house-elves to bring food on a table for the eagle while he is reading his results.

Dear Mr. Potter,

WEA

Harry groans and knows the Headmistress won't leave him alone. "Twenty NEWTs, even though I took fourteen subjects."

"Six new world records, not bad Harry. A progidy and powerful too."

"Thanks Aunt Rowena. I will hide this letter and pray that the Headmistress will never find about it this week-end. I want normal days for once."

He wishes them goodnight and passes out from exhaustion.

He eats breakfast and ignores everyone. He is messaging with Ragnok through his mirror and writes everything on a parchment next to his breakfast.

He hears the owls and pray every Divinity that no journalist heard about his NEWTs. Looking at the BNN, he is able to breathe normally. That is until his mirror vibrates and he quickly raises privacy wards around him, excluding even the Professors.

"Didieera, how are you today?"

"You took your NEWTs!"

He groans at the statement, he was expecting a question. "I do not want it known for this week-end Didieera. Give me that, as I want to do my shopping with my godfather in some peace."

She pouts - actually pouts at his request. "Are you seriously pouting? How old are you?"

"Too old for you, my dear."

"And thank Merlin I'm not interested in the opposite sex. We are both lucky, not only me."

She laughs at his wordplay and shakes her head. "Have fun this week-end Harry. And when will you announce yourself as a trained hit-wizard?"

"The right question is if I'm a fully trained hit-wizard."

"Don't give me this bullshit Harry, you know very well that you are as qualified and even more than most of the hit-wizards we have here at the ICW. Heck, even they know it and aren't ashamed of it."

"Didieera, I'm fourteen for fucks sake. I already have a target as big as the fucking island I'm living in on my back."

"And you know well that it won't change anything. What really is stopping you Harry?"

"I'm dealing with too much Didi. I need time to finish organizing everything. And I won't be able to go on missions and you know it. Everyone knows it."

"You will never be called for missions Harry. Stop trying to escape the real reason. What is it?"

"You know what it is, Didi. Anyway, I do not want to have this discussion over breakfast. How are you?"

"The same idiocy over and over again. It's like every witch and wizard doesn't realize they have the ability to use critical thinking."

"Tell me about it, of age wizards are unable to fix a simple problem due to their lack of brain cells. I snapped a few times during the last few days, the biggest was here at Hogwarts. They wanted to use nesting mothers for the first task."

"What? Have they lost their minds?"

"It does seem so. Which lead me to visit the Romanian dragon reserve, which I own and guess what? The old goat put one of his to steal from the reserve and four employee - one of them was the second in command - were weakening the wardstones. I lost it Didi. I contacted Ragnok and paid over two million galleons to have the wardstone bound to the owner House's magic. My voice was resonating across the whole reserve."

She laughs and shakes her head. "Never a dull moment around you, Harry."

"I said it before and I will say it again; someone during the long history of the House of Potter cursed my family to always be in the thick of the problems. There is no other explanations for all this bullshit."

"That does seem plausible. Anyway, I will leave you for breakfast, its lunch over here. Stay safe Harry."

"You too Didi."

He hangs up and drop the secrecy wards. He continues to exchange with Ragnok until both exchanged all the important information.

"Good, this is done. What is new in the Castle?"

"Nothing. The students are wondering if something will happen today."

"For my sake and theirs, I hope nothing. I want to enjoy a nice, calm day. "

After breakfast, Harry enters the library and sits down next to Madam Pince. "Can you please give me a list of upgrades that you deem urgent? I have nothing to do today and I need to do something."

She gives him a small smile. "I need more shelves to be able to fix the issues of extra books."

"How many shelves do you need? Is one hundred shelves enough?"

"Sweet Merlin, more than enough."

"Perfect. Do you have a list of books you want to have in the library? I can create a repertory and bind all the books to it directly. If you want."

"That will be amazing. Let me find the book list. Give me a minute."

She hands him a list, really long list. "You are a life saver, Harry."

"No thanks needed, Madam Prince Tippy!"

"How can Tippy help Master Harry?"

"Go to these two stores and tell them each that if they finish the order within the hour, each will receive one thousand galleons."

Tippy pops away with the purchse orders and returns half an hour later with everything Harry ordered.

"Already? I guss an extra thousand galleons is a hood incentives."

He thanks Tippy and meet with the librarian. "Should we start to work?"

And they spend the next hour reorganizing the library, creating an actual repertoire and linking it to a table on the side, from which the students can search for a book and know where it is in the library.

"Good, with these changes, using the library will be easier and quicker. Have a nice day, madam Pince."

She thanks him and he quickly leaves for a walk in the school. He slowly walks to the Room of Requirement and opens it quickly.

"Well, I think I need to organize everything in here." Thousands of books, hundreds of furniture, wands, galleons and useless objects are filling this version of the Room.

After almost six hours of reorganizing everything, he secures the wands, fill a trunk with the galleons and transforms a trunk into a portable library with a repertoire, storing all books in it.

"Well, another thing done. I'm going to go through all the books and see what I can add in the Hogwarts library."

He asks the room for a door near his tower's entrance and drop everything in his office. He looks around and sees a mess.

He wills his magic to quickly fix the office and he apparates near the Great Hall. His arrival startles a few students and he chuckles at their reactions.

He walks to the Slytherin table and slowly starts to eat. "Daphnee, how was your day? Too calm for your liking?"

"I'm surprised nothing happened yet, Harry. It was a lovely day, that's for sure. How about yours?"

Harry sends her a smile that makes her blush slightly. "The library has a few thousand new books and I added a repertoire. Semi rare books have been added, on gray magic, including on dueling, charms, transfiguration and potions. It's ..."

He takes out his mirror and frowns at the caller. "Supreme Wumgmump, to what do I owe the pleasure?"

"Lord Potter, your results have been published by the ICW official records holder. And it seems that trouble is stirring in France."

"I expected as such and what kind of trouble?"

"I don't know, that's the main reason I'm calling you. I need someone to go check on things there."

"I'm sure I know the answer but please refresh my memory. Did the ICW launched an investigation in France on the acrions of these terrorists?"

"No Harry. There's ... what the fuck is going on?"

Harry almost jumps from his seat, doesn't even realize that he dropped his drink on the table.

"Didieera, what is going on?"

"I can't believe I'm saying this but the ICW main wards are under attack."

Harry expresses his magic and is wearing his hit-wizard robes with basilisk made clothes underneath. He calls his Captain. "You are to bring four hundred Rangers in Geneva, deploy two hundreds in the British Ministry and two hundred Rangers in Hogwarts and Hogsmeade. You are to expect an attack anytime, anywhere and you do not leave these positions unsecured. Deploy time is five minutes."

A faint "I hear and obey." is heard by Harry. "I'm there in a minute, Didi. What does the outer wards tell you?"

He asks Hogwarts to raise the defensive and offensive wards to protect everyone.

"One hundred attackers are trying to breach the wards but your additions are confusing them."

"Good. I'm coming now. See you in thirty seconds. Over."

He looks at Daphnee with a smirk. "You had to jinx it."

Harry nods at the Headmistress. "In addition to the Potter Rangers, I raised all the wards Headmistress. This Castle is protected from both interior trouble and exterior troubles."

He engulfs himself in his aura and apparates directly behind the wards. He hears numerous portkeys bringing his men behind him.

"Potter Rangers, you are to secure the ICW and form five groups. Three of them for offensive and two of them securing and defending the first three groups. I will lead throw myself directly in the middle of their groups and take as much as I can. Expect heavy resistance and that the ICW might not be as secured as expected."

Everyone nod and they quickly head to secure the buildings. Harry signals everyone to attack in one minute. He crosses the wards and starts throwing offensive and battle spells on them.

He takes out ten of them slowly start to use his elemental skills. He creates a ring of fire to jam fifteen of them while blowing twelve off their feet and into a wall.

They started to attack him but the three offensive groups launched an attakc from behind and the sides. The ICW hit-wizards start to come out of the building and sees another Constable.

"Shakir, what the fuck is going on?"

"They somehow entered the Atrium of the main building. We secured and shut down every floor which lead to the arrests of fifteen terrorists. We then started fighting with the forty aomething group in the Atrium. Your Rangers arrived after a few minutes and together, we were able to subdue them."

Harry stuns three while killing another four before being able to reply. "Great, took care about a third of these morons. Where is Didieera?"

Someone casted the killing curse at him and he threw elemental fire at it. Those around him looked in shock at seeing the fire stopping the killing curse. "I've had enough. Time to end it."

He puts his wand away and starts to physically break their arms or even kill them. After neutralizing another twenty to thirty terrorists, he looks around him and sees the battle calming down.

He cleans himself and nods at the nearest Rangers. "Start the cleaning and fixing immediately."

"Yes Sir!"

Didieera is one of the last to finish subduing the terrorist and looks at Harry with a knowing look.

"Don't even think about it, I will not take it now."

"Your stubbornness is really at extreme levels, Harry."

"For a logical reason, Didi. You know it. Now, where these fucking morons came from?"

"Germany and Bulgaria, mostly. The ICW didn't suffer a single casualty, by Merlin's grace."

"I don't think I have any casualties too. But I will wait for the official count. Now, how many are alive?"

"Over half, most alive are inside the building. You were ferocious tonight, Harry."

"Except for visiting Geneva and coming here for official reasons at the ICW, I prefer not to come here, especially the way I came here tonight."

She laughs at his cheeky comment but is interrupted by a Ranger. "Sir, Ma'am. Lord Potter, four Rangers are in critical conditions. No casualties and everyone else is safe and sound."

"Okay, I will call for my elves to transport them in the hospital wing in our barracks. You are to finish securing the perimeter and return to base."

"Yes my Lord." The Ranger nods and quickly leaves to finish his orders.

"Tippy, Dobby, Pauly, Lirry."

All four elves pop in front of Harry. "Each one of you will transport one injured Ranger to the hospital wing of the Rangers barracks. Don't worry about any spells on them, they will disappear when you touch them. You are to stay with them until a medical team is working on each one of them. When that is done, come tell me right away."

All four nods and quickly bring them to be taken care of. "Didi, tomorrow is my shopping day. If you believe in any Divinity, please keep whatever you know to yourself. Tomorrow is my day off from everything."

She sighs in frustration. "You are too stubborn, almost inhuman."

He throws her a cheeky grin. "Thanks. It seems that both my parents were stubborn as hell, it's only logical I'm as stubborn as both of them combined. Don't you think?"

She laughs and quickly hugs him. "Cheeky brat. Stay safe and try to remain away from danger."

He snorts loudly. "Danger always finds me Didi, you know it. Stay safe and you know what to do if you need me."

He walks to the Potter Rangers and they all stand straight when he is walking towards them.

"At ease, Rangers. You have done tonight what is truly expected from you. Stood against evil and helped those in need. May Magic protect each one of you."

A light golden mist appear on the whole group and they become shocked of the given boon.

"Lady Magic decided to express my gratitudes in a physical way. You have been given a boon, Rangers. Our duty is to Albion. Return to base."

After saluting their General, both them and Harry return to their destination.

He enters Hogwarts and sees every visible and hidden entrance guarded, Rangers patrolling the halls and the Hogwarts grounds. He sees patrols in Hogsmeade and near the Forbidden Forest.

He enters the Great Hall and nods at his Captain. They quickly go to the antechamber. "Captain, the work has been achieved at the ICW. How are the deployments here and at the Ministry?"

"Both deployments were met with acceptance and we got support in both locations. King Ragnok sent me a message saying that they aren't patrolling the Alley but keeping an eye on the matter."

"Good, we have fifty Rangers in one of my buildings. They would have alerted you if anything happened."

"Indeed, Lord Potter. What are your orders, Sir?"

"Enough excitement for tonight, Captain. Call back all our forces but make sure the Ministry is being patrolled by aurors at all times."

"Yes, Lord Potter. May I add that you were beyond excellent Sir."

Harry taps his shoulder and grins at him before leaving the Captain doing his work. He waves his wand and his Hogwarts' robe appear back.

He sits next to Sirius who hugs him immediately. "Sirius, are you sure you're alright?"

"We all saw what happened Harry. While you were perfect and slightly scary, I almost freaked out when one threw a killing curse."

Harry looks around in confusion before linking everything together.

"What do you mean you all saw what happened?"

"Your Captain had a feed and all Professors witnessed everything."

"But the students didn't right? As I blocked the magic of the ceiling to show anything."

"No, a few students wanted to watch but it was clear that even the Castle itself refused to show anything. "

"Good, there are eleven years old who deserve to keep whatever innocence they have. Now, ready for shopping tomorrow?"

"Shopping at someone else's dime? Sure!"

"Remember Padfoot, next shopping is on you." He winks at his godfather and head to sit in front of Daphnee.

"Please, don't tempt Fate again by saying that a day was calm. Deal?"

"What will I get from that?"

"More or less an extra hour of freedom in the evening, after curfew. Once a week."

"Every evening."

"In your dreams. Twice a week as I won't go more than that. Plus, you are to tell your Head of House where you will be staying, as a satefy measure."

"Deal!"

"Perfect. And if you jinx it once, I take it back. Now, we can eat dinner in peace. What is the latest rumor in this school?"

She throws him a cold glare. "How am I supposed to know?"

"Please, under this glare, you are dying to talk about drama. And I want a normal evening, in which I get to hear and talk about rumors and drama. I will let your friend, Tracey, start as she is about to burst from excitement."

Daphnee groans while Blaise chuckles at Tracey's reaction. "It seems that you and Diggory disappeared after this morning ... unhappy moment."

"We didn't disappear, we talked like any two friends talked. What's the next one?"

"Some say you want to build a harem."

Harry ogles at her, mouth open and erupts in laughter. "Oh Merlin, thank you for that. I build a harem? Disturbing, disgusting, disparaging and disrespectful. In that order. Next one?"

"Well, they say you might be bisexual."

"Nope, a giant no. And I think I know who started that one and to that person, get over your pathetic crush on me. I'm one hundred and fifty percent into men, thank you very much. Next one."

"Some say that you are doing all this for fame."

Harry's happy mood turn into a cold, barely controlled angry one. "To those who think that, I would like to tell them that this fame they seem to be envious of started when my parents got killed in front of me. Abuse for thirteen years both at the hands of my disgusting relatives and the evil lord, Dumbledore." He drops his anger but his voice is still sharp. "Next one but please, not about me. I'm about to turn into a Malfoy, always talking about myself. It's repulsive, at best."

Chuckles are heard from many and she gives him a small smile. "I heard there will be a Ball for Yule. Is it true?"

"I can neither confirm nor deny that one, being Lord Hogwarts. Please ask your Head of House or the Headmistress for a clear answer. Next rumor. Make it a really good one."

"Let me think ... Oh, I got it. Is it true that Hogwarts will completely change its cursus for next year?"

Harry sends him a mischievous smile, which makes her blush. "It seems that the logical step to take is to make sure Hogwarts really shows her true potential. While it is not in my plans for the next few months, it does make sense to think that might happen."

His answer is heard by everyone and more than one starts to understand who he truly is and what he has been doing. "Furthermore, it is curious that some might have the idea about that before even I think about it. Truly, effective and sharp minds we have at Hogwarts."

That answer gives his intentions, clear as the sun in the sky. "Next rumor and its the last one I will be answering so make it a huge one."

She looks at Blaise and Daphnee and nods. "We heard that there are wards at Hogwarts to block evilness to enter. Is it true and if yes, why did you raised them?"

Harry's smile resembles that of a Goblin and no one is sure if its scarier on him or a Goblin.

"I did raise all Ancient Wards installed by the Founders themselves, mostly by Aunt Rowena. I also added my own addition and did indeed protect it against evilness. When one takes into account the numerous events in the last five-six days, I think its clear on their effectiveness."

"But what about the tasks?"

"My dear and kind Tracey, if you think that the wards stop when Hogwarts as a Castle finishes them you are wrong. Go read Hogwarts a History: Four Founders and their Dream. It's one of the new thousand of books that was added today in the library. That book is the real and most factual regarding the history of this Castle. All the minimal information is found in them and the truth about ALL Founders is detailed in them. Have a nice evening, little ssssnake."

He looks at the head table and sees them all trying to hold their laughs and Harry walks away while whistling a song. He hears the sudden voices talking about what he said and found a Ravenclaw running to the library.

'Well, they will try to go in together but I think she will throw out most of them. He continues his walk and find himself at the Astronomy tower.

He looks at the star and enjoys the view until he feels a known magic heading his way.

"Good to see we share more than a special attraction, Cedric. The stars or the temperature itself?"

"Both, as it allows me to relax and think calmly. What about you?"

"The stars, full of hope, potential and peace. Feels great to be able to relax, as it comes rarely to me."

Cedric stands next to him. "Yeah. You know, even before you showed your true self to the world, I had this feeling in me when I looked at you."

Harry softly nods and turn around to face him. "What about now?"

"The feeling is stronger than ever, Harry. I hope every night to kiss you, especially since I know that you are as interested in me as I am in you."

Harry tilts his head, looks at him curiously. "Maybe one kiss, Cedric. What are your parents saying about this?"

He shows the little space between them.

"They are both happy for me. My father is always hard on me to be the best and is proud of me to be a Champion."

"But? Don't give me this look, there is always a but to a perfectly good sentence."

"But he was disappointed about my interest in men."

"Was it men in general or me with all this attention I gather around myself?"

Cedric's blush answers for him and Harry waves it off. "I personnally don't care about people's opinion regarding my private life, Cedric. I expected as such, as he seems to be the kind of father placing his son on a pedestal. I don't mind at all, I just hope he can see the difference between me behaving in a way and the hype created by the media about my person."

Cedric shows his approval by taking Harry's hand in his own. "After mom and I talked to him and especially after he saw everything you went through, he went from criticizing to wanting to meet you. No really, he's just more protective than most parents."

Harry sighs and thinks for a minute. "Alright Cedric, but we won't be seen together in public for a while. I can tell you, as it will become public tomorrow or Monday that I already took my NEWTs and received the results."

Cedric gives him a briliant smile, making Harry blush hard. "Really? Congratulations Harry!"

He hugs Harry whish sees him hugging the older teenager back. Harry breaks the hug but kisses Cedric.

Cedric pushes him to the nearest wall and takes control of the kiss. Both break it to be able to breath.

"If every kiss is like this, I will gladly live on them forever."

Harry looks him in the eyes and laughs softly. "You kiss like a Champion. Next time, you're on the wall."

Cedric winks at him. "Gladly Harry."

"Let us talk about anything else, as if we don't, I will kiss you again."

"Not a bad thing, Harry." He laughs at Harry's look. "Fine, I understand. Why are you going shopping?"

"The first task, Security Council meeting, this stupid ceremony and the Yule Ball. Most propably will invite important dignitaries, including all three heads of states of the schools involved, various Lords and Ladies of the Wizengamot and some ICW officials. You know, something light and breezy."

Cedric snorts loudly at the light and breezy comment. "Sure, within five days, you turned our world on its head so many times that everyone lost count. I have a feeling that it will be gigantic."

"Remember what the Great Hall looks like now and remember it. That's my only hint. Now, I think you should head back so your friends don't lose their heads."

"Thanks Harry. And for your knowledge, you should come with a date."

"Thanks but I don't feel like it. If its not you, I'm not taking anyone. Who are you taking?"

"Since it hasn't been yet announced, I am still thinking. Definitely one of my guy friends but who I don't know."

"You don't have to tell me. Plus, I will dance with each Champions once, the same as every Head of school, and most of the Professors."

They leave the Astronomy tower, each thinking about the other.
