Daphne's pov

When Daphne woke up, her mind was filled with thoughts from the last night.

So much happened yesterday, she came to Hogwarts, found out the boy who lived has a secret twin brother and was told the reason why professor Snape was hated by 3/4 of the student population.

And yet the thing that made her worried the most is about the fact that she got sorted to Slytherin!

After all she wanted to be a Ravenclaw! No, she needed to be a Ravenclaw, where else can she learn enough to save her sister from her blood curse? But the hat wouldn't even listen to her, said that in Slytherin she would become great and maybe be able to save her sister. And now here she is, and after thinking about that, she understood the hat might be right, where else would she find smart people who are fine with stepping on the lines of law for what they want? For what is right? Ravenclaw might be for schoolers but the curse didn't have a known cure she needs innovators with ambition to change the world!

After thinking about it so much, she understood one thing, she can't do it alone. Hell, if she wanted to do it she would have to find the right people in Slytherin and make sure they work with her.

The first people she should choose from are from her year.

They were 10 in this year:

Her, Zabini, Davis,Parkinson, Bulstrode, Nott, Goyle, Crabbe, Malfoy and Potter. Out of them she couldn't think of Parkinson, Crabbe and Goyle doing anything so they were out.

She is good with potions, Zabini loves transfiguration, Nott knows almost every exotic thing their is, Bulstrode knows about the stars like no-one else and Davis has passion for charms.

The only two she really wasn't sure about were Malfoy and Potter, Malfoy was good with potions and had a lot of money, he even had a library at home with a lot of dark arts and curses but he is super bossy and she wasn't sure if she could have him join while keeping the others.

Potter was a quite boy, with a lot of interesting ideas (at least from their conversation last night) but she didn't know what he could bring to the group and she wasn't sure if she could wait until he catches up with them knowledge wise. She would have to think about those two more.

First class- Herbology

'It was the first class of the day and they would be filled with dirt, great'

Daphne thought while she managed to get a spot near Nott. After professor Sprout gave them instructions they began to work, just as they were finishing the assignment she managed to strike a deal, he would join her research group and she would help him get him a Mimbulus mimbletonia - what ever that may be, in addition, the group would help each other study so they would get at least EE. They also agreed to call each other by their first names.

Second class- DADA

As everywhere else was taken(and she would never sit next to a Gryffindore) she was forced to sit next to Goyle. If that wasn't a terrible thing, you would have to admit that the professor was terrible. He stuttered the entire class and by the time he finished a sentence, she didn't understood a thing he said. She knew she would have to study this subject on her own.

As an after thought at night she noticed Potter had quite the blank expression during class, if he keep that explanation up people would think he is an ice queen.

Third lesson- charms

This time she managed to sit next to Davis, it wasn't her taste of class as until the middle of October they would only talk about magical theory, but she knew the basics are important (her father told her that enough times when she asked to learn cool magic) the problem was that she already knew all of it, as have all the others pure bloods as they were taught magical theory since they were 5.

On the plus side, she managed to get an agreement from Davis to join her group with the EE deal and the fact that none of them was the leader. 'Well, that will make Getting Draco into the group hard' and why did Potter stayed after class to talk with professor Flitwick?

Well she got two out of the six she's thinking about on her first day, that's a start

Harry's pov

As usual, Harry woke up early. He did his workouts, Took a shower and by the time it was fully clothed it was already time for breakfast.

As he went to the great hall, he couldn't stop thinking about it difference between the points of view in the books and real life.

In the book, snake was a petty man Who gave points to his house and took them from the other houses as revenge for his childhood. But in real life, he's a man who pranks the school so it would stop using an 'idiotic method'. Which is kind of sarcastic as his mortal enemies in the school were the Marauders.

Breakfast at Hogwarts so unhealthy he decided to speak with the house elf in the evening, but for right now he decided to take eggs and a lot of them.

First class- Herbology

'This class is a great way to start your day' Harry thought while helping his partner Bulstrode taking out weeds as the professor told them "the first thing you need to do while gardening is weeding." After a few minutes of doing that, Harry felt his mind is ready to try building another defense.

For the last month he waited for his mind to completely heal from the damage the war and marge and while it was done he figured out a trap. He also decided that this would be his last trap until he finish the next part of occlumency, the mind maze.

So just as the class was coming to an end while talking to Bulstrode and telling her to call him Harry as there are two Potters in the school (so you can call me Millie).

He decided exactly how his trap should work.

'It's gonna be an emotional memory trap as according to the occlumency book you can't use Legilimency and occlumency at the same time so who ever came in my mind would feel the emotions I feel in my memory.

The memory I decided to use is finding out my parents bodies. A side affect of this kind of trap is the inability to forget even a little of the moment you choose, that's why most people don't use this kind of trap, but me? I already can't forget anything, so it doesn't matter. The best part is that because it's a strong memory and my first line of defense (as it's before any other defense, the emptiness and the mind palace) until they get past that defense they won't even know I use occlumency.' With those thoughts he left class just behind Padma patil

Second lesson- DADA

This lesson was with Gryffindor, which also meant the first lesson with Marcus, it was both good and bad. Good, as Quirrell would be focused on Marcus.

Bad, as he really wanted to choke the boy with his arms.

Instead, he waved to Hermione and Neville and sat next to Zabini, this class was great especially as he managed creating more than 80% of his trap by the time the class was finished.

Lunch was a cholesterol disaster, he was now sure that magic was the only thing preventing wizards from looking like Vernon.

Third class- Charm

This class was pretty good for a theoretical class, the professor knew how to keep children interested and alluded to possibilities that everyone thought were fantasy. As the lesson finished and the students moved out, Harry stayed to ask a few questions

"Hi Prof. can I ask some questions?"

"Sure, mr. Potter. What can I help you with?"

"You see I read the magical theory book and there was a lot of subjects that weren't explained."

"like what?"

"For example, how did people use magic before there were wands?""actually, we don't know, we think it was possible to use magic with just your mind but this method was lost in time, now only the most powerful wizards can use a wondless magic and even that is just a wand's magic without wands. We do know people used rituals and still do, it's just that it's much harder to use and need more information then a regular 16 years old has, that's why we teach rituals as a choice for the seventh years who got in the N.E.W.T courses of runes and arithmancy. Anything else?" "Yes, someone told me that Dumbledore is one of the strongest wizards in our day, is magical power something you are born with, or something you acquire overtime?" "Magical power is one of the things we will discuss more in the charm class of the N.E.W.Ts but mostly it's something you acquire with hard work. Well we have to finish, those were quite the questions young man, if you want to talk my office hours are between 8-10 on Sunday." With that Harry left.

Harry asked those questions for two reasons:

1) He decided that he would be known in school as a theoretical Genius and enthusiastic, but an average practical wizard, that way, no one would ever be suspicious about his questions about subjects that are way over his school year while he could still ask and read related books.

2) he wanted to know what the knowledge of the wizarding would about magic and after more than a week at Diagon ally he couldn't find a book more advanced than magical theory, so he decided to ask the only professor that asking the question to won't be weird.

As Harry went to the kitchen, he thought 'mission accomplished'

At Harry's room 8:45 PM

It was a long day, apparently house elfs never heard about any kind of healthy food, so after hours, he finally finished teaching them how to make basic healthy food and now he is the 'great master chef Harry Potter, sir' to the house elfs, Harry did the regular full powered Patronus charm and went to sleep

Harry's pov

The second day started like the first, waking up, workout and shower, it was in breakfast that the first change came.

When he sat at the table, a plate with granola, honey, fruits and cultured milk. People gave Harry weird looks, but he paid them no mind. Just as he was about to finish an owl came for him with a latter.

'How dare you be sorted into Slytherin?' Was the first sentence he read 'there was not one Potter heir in Slytherin since before the status of secrecy was invented, and there won't be one! We will come Friday to take you from Hogwarts at Friday to the ministry to disinherit you!

James potter,

Lord of the house of Potter."

He declined to keep the latter as evidence so he took it to his room and then went to his first class, History of Magic

First class- History of Magic.

It took exactly 5 minutes for everyone to understand this class was useless except for getting more sleep, so it was not surprising to find everyone snoring while Professor Binns was talking. What was surprising, is that one boy wasn't asleep, but followed the ghost's words in the book, or at least that what you would think he did if you look from a far, actually, Harry was learning biology from the master's degrees books he had, as if there was one thing he didn't like was wasting time, by the time the class was finished, he was two chapters into the book, he hoped that by the end of the year he would finish the first year of every subject, but he wasn't sure he could do it.

Second class- transfiguration

As one of the classes he's been waiting for, Harry was the first one to be there. Well, it might have to do with the fact this class was with Hufflepuff just like History of magic, which meant the other students had to wake up from their nap.

After seeing it's just him and McGonagle in cat form, he decided to pat McGonagle as a way to make good impression 'without meaning too', but she just hissed at him so he took a sit.

When the time for class came, professor McGonagle shifted from her cat form to her human form. He raised his hand and said "Sorry, professor McGonagle, I didn't know." "It's fine, now lets talk about transfiguration.

Transfiguration is some of the most complex and dangerous magic you will learn at Hogwarts. Anyone messing around in my class will leave and not come back. You have been warned. Now one of the things about transfiguration is the fact that you are changing something completely, but only temporarily. One technically can change something forever enough magic but even Marlin himself didn't have enough magic to change a spoon to a fork, that's why you should never transfigure something non addible into at addible substance and never change the state of the staff you use from solid to liquid or air as it could kill you and everyone close to you." "Now, we will see where everyone are at the subject, take a match and change it to a pin."

The rest of the class passed quickly as they were all trying to change their matches. After a few questions and explanations, Harry finally understood how transfiguration works.

There is only one way known to everyone in doing transfigurations,

The basic way that most people use is learning some basic formulas for explaining how much magic you need to use and let your magic do the rest. This way of doing transfigurations make sure that the only thing you need to do for transfiguring everything you want is a perfect control of your magic, that's also why it's one of the hardest magical studies in Hogwarts and why every minute change of your wand work can affect your creation.

Another way to use transfigurations that Harry thought about is by understanding how everything is created by atoms, as such when you change one substance to another you need to attract or push Electrons, Protons and Neutron, so the atoms would change completely. This is also the reason why transfigurations go back to their original forms, the particles, go back to their original situations when the the magic energy can't hold it self in that state anymore, because of the fact you work with atoms, you need much better control over your magic than the regular way, but Harry prefers to do things with his brain and not heart, so he decided to use this method to learn transfigurations. That's why, by the end of the class, almost everyone managed to change at least the colors of the match while he only managed to make it pointier, but he didn't care, he knew he was on the right way to use transfiguration, he just need more knowledge and perfecting his energy control.

After lunch

The Slytherin and Ravenclaw had a free afternoon, is it night it was time for astronomy. Most students went for a nap or doing their homework but Harry had a meeting with a very important room. He did notice me not charm (invisibility charms were hard, Okey?) as he didn't want any of the students, stuff and more importantly pictures to notice him. As if there is one thing that the books confirmed is that pictures could be used for spying and he wouldn't say it's beyond Dumbledore to use them.

After an hour of searching, he found the pictures of the dancing trolls, he went three times next to the wall while thinking about a room to help perfect magic control and went in

Chapter: 2424 Nikola Tesla and practicing control

play_arrow

stop

Harry's pov

the room Harry entered into was filled with Tesla coils. Harry was surprised by that and didn't know what he is supposed to do with them to practice control. After looking around for sometime, he found a desk with a book on it, the book was called "master's control, the way to master your magic and transfiguration." By Nikola Tesla. The books had nots belonging to a professor.

Tesla apparently was a wizard from America that by using magic and science together managed to create a lot of inventions, then he made sure to make his inventions with only science and sold them to the muggle population.

The Tesla coils where an invention of his that was supposed to help children control their magic better but even though he was a brilliant scientist, he was an average wizard, that's why almost no one believed him, except the professor for transfiguration here at Hogwarts in the year 1888 and bought a lot of the coils, but just as he was about to start using it, something happened and it never happened, Tesla was never respected for his inventions and he moved to live as a muggle forever. Interested to know what happened to the professor Harry left the room, asked while walking three times to know what happened and got into a new room with only a desk and a book of Hogwarts a history, apparently the professor was caught with a student and was fired.

Harry then came back to the Tesla coils room and finished reading the book that explained how to use the coils to learn control.

You use your magic to send pulses of energy to the coils and the coils release the energy in different types of currents and by controlling the type of current you learn to control your magic better.

Harry decided it was time to try and started using the device.

Five hours later

It only took five hours and Harry was already magically exhausted, yet he could already feel the difference in control, he couldn't wait for next class to see his improvements but knew that even if for now did knowledge is enough. he still has much to learn about the atomic and molecular structure of most things to become great in transfiguration, and to do that he needs to focus on chemistry in his muggle books.

So with the room to better his control and amount of magic, and chemistry books for the knowledge, he was sure he would be great.

After that he got out of the ROR went to dinner and then took his telescope to the astronomy tower.

Third class- astronomy

This class was an educational class for most students, but for Harry? He wanted to puke!

He had two reasons for that:

1) 60% of the information was about the mystical elements of the stars (non related to divination), and while interesting had no affect on magic.

2) 25% of the information was wrong,

the professor was talking how the earth was the center of the universe, and that every star, moon and sun was moving around it. And as we all know, as Galileo already said, it's the earth that spins around the sun.

Worse is that no muggleborn was trying to say anything, he thought that a muggle born in Ravenclaw would, but it looks like he has the 'I have magic flu', and by the time he would get out of it he would be too deep to realize that the information is wrong, he would have to help Hermione notice this before it was too late

The only plus side was that while everyone else used old telescopes, he used the telescope his parents gave him, one of the last things they gave him

Daphne's pov

Since the first day, Daphne got almost everyone she wanted, in addition to Theo and Tracy, she managed to get also Bulstrode. Bulstrode or Milie as she asked to be called, agreed to help in exchange for help in class and 15% of anything profitable. For a bull looking girl, Milie was more like a shark.

There were only two she must have: Zabini and Potter.

Zabini, as much as it amazed her, managed to complete the transfiguration assignment in class on the first lesson, something that showed his talent in it. As for Potter, there was something about him that made her have a gut feeling she should take him in, it might have to do with the fact he is a hard worker, it may also be because he's so mature about everything, she didn't know, what she did know is that she have to get him to join, as for Malfoy, he prefers to act stupid, bully other people and make trouble for the boy who lived, so she preferred to leave him and his gang to themselves.

So when in lunchtime she found Zabini alone she made sure to talk to him.

"Hey, Zabini, I have a proposal for you."

"What is it, Greengrass?"

"You can call me Daphne, anyway, I start a research group which is also kind of a study group where we learn together for class and invent things to help us."

"oh yeah, what do you want from me?"

"I want you to join us, you're the best transfiguration student in Slytherin. It would help you too, we will walk first to make sure everyone has at least EE on tests."

"no thank you, I can learn alone."

"What do you want?"

"First of all I want to learn the real reason why you start a research group"

"My sister is sick with a blood curse, I want to find a cure, and if there was no cure invented yet I want to invent it, i'm not sure what it would take to invent a cure so I gathered around the best students in Slytherin to work together. So, would you help me?"

"I would help you… If while we are researching a cure I find something that interest me, we would also research it, no questions asked, and of course a binding oath, as I would never believe a Slytherin in future promises."

Daphne grind her teeth but said fine, they bind the oaths and went separate ways.

Marcus Potter's pov

It's been one hell of a summer Marcus had, and one weird of a week.

Since Marcos was a younger boy he wanted to go out, but as the boy who lived he couldn't really go anywhere as it was too dangerous, yes, he sometimes went to the ministry for events, and Diagon alley was one of the few treats he got when ever the word special occasion. He even sometimes got to go to his godbrother's house for birthday or something like this. But I didn't really have any friends.

Well, he always had his father and mother to keep him company so he never felt alone, but he did feel he missed something.

So in two months ago his parents told him he has a brother, he was super excited. Then for the next month he waited for his father to find that brother, and after all this time his father found him, but he didn't even want to come home. Apparently he had a new family, Marcus wasn't worried he was sure his brother just didn't know he was the boy who lived is everyone want to be friends with the boy who lived, whenever he came to the alley people always wanted to shake his hand and kids always wanted to be his friends. So he was sure if harry knew he was the brother of the boy who lived he would come running.

A week later his brother came he didn't look so happy about it so Marcus did his best to mention the fact that he's the boy who lived without just saying it. He complemented even his brother by saying he wished he was as tall as him but his brother didn't care he even looked less impressed.

After that, Marcus used the week to try to impress his brother with his tales of heroism in Quidditch plays and about all the books people wrote about him, yet at the end of the week, every time Harry looked at him there was an emotion in his eyes he couldn't figure out felt like how he looked about carrots, in disgust. 'But that couldn't be right they are brothers' that's what he thought.

A few hours later his mother came and told him his brother is at a muggle hospital and that harry's new 'family' died in a robbery, so in a few days he would live with them. Marcus couldn't have been more confused about his feelings, on one hand it was happy how I was going to live with them on the other he was sad for him for losing his new 'family'. It is the day past Harry didn't show up, he disappeared from the hospital and they didn't know where he was.

The feelings of sadness and happiness changed into feelings of anger, Harry left them again just as he left them as a child!

So when the time came to go to the train, Michaels didn't want look for Harry it's a train station, he didn't even care about the newspaper!

He just wanted for things to go back the way they were before he knew about Harry, when his parents attention were on him and not about how they would look someone found out about the fact they had a son who left them.

So when he didn't even show up at the train station Marcus was only a little bit angry about it.

Then he went into the train and once more he found out everyone want to be his friends.

He met his new best friend Ron Weasley, his other friends Dean and Seamus, and a lot of other friends.

In the middle of the train ride came Draco Malfoy to befriend him also, but as soon is he heard the last name he remembered his father telling him about that Malfoy who is a death eater, so he told him right away "I don't become Friends with death eater filth"

After that when they arrived at the castle in the salting begin, he couldn't wait to be sorted to Griffin though just like his mother, father, godfather and probably even his brother would be. So you could imagine your surprise when he heard the hat screams for his brother Slytherin, at the beginning he was sad for his brother then he understood everything, why his brother didn't like him why he didn't show up after his new 'family were killed.

His brother was evil just as all Slytherin are. He probably even murdered his new family."

Then the hat shouted Gryffindor for him just as he asked, and again he was the talk of the school.

A day later wasn't their first lesson, they arrive late at Transfiguration, and professor McGonagle, was pissed, then when she gave the assignments to us only one student finished it which was the Muggle born no it's all, Hermione Granger, The friend of his godbrother.

The days went by and he started to notice something weird, somehow the professors weren't as impressed with his status as the boy who lived as everybody else were, they even made him do homework, even when he told him he didn't want too. So when potion class came Friday morning and everybody told him about professor Snape, he wasn't excited about the class at all.

Severus Snape's pov

Snake wasn't sure if he was expecting this class or not, this is the class we have Marcus Potter, the boy who lived, destroyer of the dark Lord himself, or if you like to see it James Potter's son the most narcissistic man he ever met who son is even more narcissistic. Hell, when yhe teachers talked last night about their students he even heard Minerva wanted to spank this boy after he told her "he doesn't want to do homework so he won't do it." Severus was sure of one thing, he would make sure to pull The boys head outs of his ass!

On the other hand you have Harry Potter, also a son of James Potter, but one wasn't raised by him at least if the papers were true and he was inclined to think so. One who was given away.

A polite, smart boy, at least if what the teachers said was true one who wasn't strongly into theoretical knowledge, something every potion master needs to have talent in. Plus he had the Greengrass girl home if he read her mind right was good and the theoretical knowledge of potions and Draco who taught himself. Maybe, just maybe this year won't be full with dunderheads.

Harry's pov

We were all sitting in class, by the time the lesson was suppose to start

Snape, like Flitwick, started the class by taking the roll call, yet he paused just after Harry's name.

"Ah, yes," he said softly, "Marcus Potter. Our new—celebrity."

Harry almost felt sorry for Marcus, almost.

Snape finished calling the names and looked up at the class. His eyes were black cold, much different than when he talked to them after the welcoming dinner, They were cold and empty and made you think of dark tunnels.

"You are here to learn the subtle science and exact art of potion-making," he began. He spoke in barely more than a whisper, but they caught every word, Snape certainly had a gift for theatrics "As there is little foolish wand-waving here, many of you will hardly believe this is magic. I don't expect you will really understand the beauty of the softly simmering cauldron with its shimmering fumes, the delicate power of liquids that creep through human veins, bewitching the mind, ensnaring the senses... I can teach you how to bottle fame, brew glory, even stopper death—if you aren't as big a bunch of dunderheads as I usually have to teach."

More silence followed that little speech.

"Marcus Potter!" said Snape suddenly. "What would I get if I added powdered root of asphodel to an infusion of wormwood?"

"I don't know." Marcus said, as he should, it was a question for sixth year.

"I guess celebrity isn't every thing in life. Let's try again. Potter, where would you look if I told you to find me a bezoar?"

Again, a question for a second year.

"I don't know, sir."

"Thought you wouldn't open a bok before coming, eh, Potter?"

"What is the difference, Potter, between monkshood and wolfsbane?"

Finally, a real question, a question for a first who read a few chapters in his potion book. "I told you I don't know, OK?"

"15 points from Gryffindor for disrespect"

"Greengress, last question what's the answer?" "They are the same thing sir" "good, Malfoy, second question"

"Stomach of a goat professor Snape"

"Great, The second Mr. Potter, first question"

Harry was so glad he had his future knowledge right now, Otherwise he could just tell by the components it's a sleeping potion, not exactly what it's.

"asphodel and wormwood make a sleeping potion so powerful it is known as the Draught of Living Death, sir"

"You see mr. celebrity, if you just open a book it would've be possible for you to answer. Another 25 pounds for laziness"

The class later continued just as the books told

James's pov

If James had to choose a moment he deeply regrets, he would choose the moment he gave Harry to Lily's sister.

No, he wouldn't choose to keep Harry, he would just make sure to disinherit him first.

After all, a baby doesn't know he's being disinherited so he wouldn't fight for it in the future.

But, how did his wife said?

'Don't cry about a spilled milk?'

The boy gave him the perfect chance to disinherit him by becoming a Slytherin.

Dumbledore didn't like his plan, said too many things can go wrong. That they need to keep the boy on a leash. James knew that, he also knew that if he won't do it now he might not have a chance later, as the ministry has a lot of rules for disinheriting. So Dumbledore needs to find another way to put the boy on a leash, after all, Marcus has to get his deserving place as the heir of the Potter's lordship.

It was a quiet trip from the headmaster's fireplace to The ministry's wizengamot bureaucracy.

After a few hours of paperwork James pulled out his wand and said: "I, lord James Fleamont Potter, with a sound mind and a strong heart. Without any compromising potions or mind changing spells. With no threats or blackmail. Take my son Harry James Potter's right is an heir to the Potter's lordship. Knowing that by doing so, he is no longer my son. Knowing that he would get 100 Galleon for every year he's left until he is 17 and full payment for his studies from the main vault. I give the heirship to my son Marcus Evens Potter, with the knowledge that once I died he would inherit me. So Mote it be. Lumus" a strong light washed over the room, and James smiled.

Harry's pov

Harry really wanted to finish all of this quickly, he's finally not a potter so no he just need to choose a different family name.

He had quite a few options:

1) Wilkerson, as a memory for his parents.

2) Malcolm, as he was called by that name for 7 years.

3) Peverell, as an old name which would also symbolize his past life and death.

In the end he chose Peverell for a couple of reasons, but non were more important than the fact that it would drive the Potters and Dumbledore insane. The Potters cause it would be like saying that instead him being disinherited, he just had didn't want to be with the Potter last name and Dumbledore because he would wander what does he know about the deathly hollows.

"I take off my name Harry James Potter, and take on the name Harry DJ Peverell, I take my middle and last name off knowingly that by taking them off I could never take them on.

So Mote it be. Lumus"

After that James went back home and Harry went to Gringotts

Harry's Pov

It was 5 PM when Harry got into Gringotts.

It took 15 minutes to get a private room with one of their senior bankers.

"Hello, mr. Peverell, what can Gringotts do for you today?"

"Well, I was thinking, how do you like to take most of the money of one The most prestigious and richest families in wizarding Britain?"

"As you must know Mr. Peverell, we at Gringotts have our honor above all else, which is why we would never let someone steal from us and we would never steal from someone else."

"I'm not talking about stealing, I'm talking about business with a little bit of cunning."o

"Well let's hear it."

"My previous name was Harry James Potter, I was just disinherited by James Potter. When he used the magical binding oath to disinherit me. He used their standard oath.

Do you know what is the standard oath?"

"If I recall correctly, I believe It's to pay 100 golleons a year and for your magical studies, is it not?"

"Not exactly, you were right about the first part but slightly mistaken about the second one."

"How so?"

"It's not for magical studies it's for all studies."

"I don't see the difference."

"Did you know that in the Muggle world to learn to be a healer costs about 180 galleons a year?"

Harry could see the bloody smile on the goblin's face

"How... intriguing, and you say it's all in a binding oath?"

"yes, indeed. more than that you know I've always been interested in smithing and economy."

"really? I've never heard of a wizard so willing to learn from a goblin that he is preparing to pay 300 galleons a week to learn." The goblin's smile couldn't have been bigger even if he was on a cheering charm.

After that, they fixed the details and agreed that from October, Harry would come every Sunday 12-5 to learn all he can about blacksmithing and every Saturday 12-5 to learn about economic.

"Is that all?"

"No, I believe I didn't god this year's stipend the oaths promises me

Harry's pov

Except explaining a hundred times about his new name and the circ.u.mstances behind it, the rest of the weekend passed quickly, Harry practiced his control on the coils at the in the Tesla room, practiced his charms at the experiments room and learned more chemistry in the study room. And all that without going out of the ROR! He was starting to fall in love with the room. Yet, Harry still got out, he made sure to visit professor Snape at his office hours to ask some questions about the interaction of ingredients in potions and about the difference between clockwise and counter clockwise. Apparently, while the ingredients are used to extract the magic in every one of them, the way which you spin your potion is more about the potion's final form, which means that if you don't spin correctly you don't create the best potion but you can still make a workable one, so Harry decided to focus more about the best ways to extract the magic out of the materials before figuring out the ways to create the best potions.

Harry also used lunchtime to sit with Hermione and Neville, as while he doesn't have much time do during the week and study with them. While he finished his homework at the ROR, he could still study something different while being with his friends and helping Neville with his.

Neville's pov

Neville wasn't sure if you suppose to be happy or sad.

A notice was just pinned up in the Gryffindor common room that made almost all of them groan. Flying lessons would be starting on Thursday -- and Gryffindor and Slytherin would be learning together.

While most Gryffindors hated all of Slytherin, he didn't, he only hated most of them. He had one friend in there, Harry. And while Hermione was he's best friend, Harry was his first one. Sure he had Play dates with Marcus, and he met a lot of pure blood children as a child but till Harry, no one called him a friend.

So that's why he was happy to have another class with Slytherin. The only way it could've been better is if Malfoy wasn't there.

Malfoy was a bully, he was rich pampered boy who made sure everyone knows he's the best even if he wasn't, he was also Marcus's arch enemy, is those two kept going and fighting all the time they met.

Which was why Neville wasn't surprised something like that happen.

"Give it back, Malfoy!"

"Why? The Squib needs you to defend him?"

"Gryffindors stay together, even if some of us are squibs!"

Neville couldn't help but be hurt, he knew Marcus was a bastard. He knew it since the time Marcus destroyed his birthday party with the saying "thing is my birthday party, as the boy who lived I deserve two."

But he really thought that they were at least allies, allies don't say staff like that about their allies, but apparently Marcus didn't have allies. He had fans, groupies, followers and enemies. But no friends or allies.

"What is going on here?" From behind Malfoy, professor McGonagle said.

"N-nothing" Malloy said

"He was trying to steal Neville's rememberball!" Ron shouted.

"No I didn't, I just wanted to see it up close"

Malfoy put the rememberball dawn and walked away with Crabbe and Goyle.

It was in the middle of the flying class and Neville couldn't wait for it to be over.

He never liked heights, but he really hates it since his granduncle tried to activate his magic by dropping him from the second floor window.

At least he wasn't alone in his feelings, as apparently, Hermione also hate Heights, so he had someone to share his unenthusiastic feelings.

Not that it was the only thing they shared, they always sat one next to the other, she trying to help him with most class, and him helping her with Herbioligy and making sure not only to study but also having fun.

Speaking of someone always studying, Harry was doing it, and not even to class. actually Neville didn't think he ever seen him doing homework, but whenever asked he always said he has already done it.

Not that they were always together, actually, Harry almost wasn't with them, having either different classes, different dorm rooms and different house mate, yet he made sure to always be there when needed, just like now in class

They have just put the broom between their legs when Madame Hooch said that she would count to three and when she whistle they should push themselves up into the air, but before she got to two, Neville was so nervous that his broom wouldn't work that he pushed prematurely.

The broom began to fly higher and higher and he had zero control.

Finally, when it reached 12 feet high he fell, yet when he reached the ground the earth was soft like a trampoline, he looked around confused, searching for whoever did the magic that made sure no harm reached him, yet not only no-one stepped forward, everyone including the teacher looked confused or worried.

Everyone except Harry who only had a concerned look on his face.

While Neville went to the infirmary, he could only think: "How the hell did he do that?"

Ron's pov

Since the start of the school Ron had the best time of his life.

He was best friends with the boy who lived, he was in Gryffindor, he was suddenly in the center of attention and best of all, the food!

But like with every thing good comes some bad.

He actually has to do homework, show up to class and learn things unrelated to quidditch, like it's ever going help him when he become a keeper to the Chudley Cannons.

Who cares how to create a lousy potion when you can stop Quaffles?

That's why he was so excited for this class, flying class.

And that's why he was so angry about the squib's actions, by flying and falling, Neville made sure he would have to wait a week until he gets to fly!

And he new whose fault it mast be, Slytherin.

After all who else was evil enough to prevent Marcus and him from flying other than the baby death eaters?

So when he heard Malfoy saying "look what I found" while holding the rememberball, Ron didn't even let him finish the sentence before saying "give it back Malfoy"

Malfoy looked insulted but Ron didn't see it.

"I think I should put it where Longbottom can find it- how about at the top of a tree?"

Malfoy was on his broomstick.

You should come down before Marcus kick your ass!" Ron yelled while helping Marcus onto a broom.

Marcus started chasing Malfoy across the field on his broom and you could see he was a natural talent on a broom as even if they both knew how to fly from before, Marcus could fly much faster on his broom than Malfoy could his.

Ron started feeling something ugly and familiar when looking at Marcus fly but before he could identify what it is Draco dropped the ball by mistake.

Marcus dived for the ball and just before it hit the ground he caught it.

It was that moment everyone heard professor McGonagall shouted "Marcus potter!"

An hour later when Marcus told him he got into the quidditch team Ron knew what that emotion was - Jealousy

Third's pov

The next week every student was talking about Marcus Potter as not only the boy who lived but also the youngest seeker in a century. Well, everyone except Harry DJ Peverell, as not only he was not interested in talking about it, the fact that he was disinherited was on the Daily Prophet, which made him an outcast to everyone except Hermione and Neville, yet even them couldn't be with him a lot.

You see, being disinherited in the wizarding world was practically being told by the Lord of the house of the disinherited that you were not good enough to be the heir, and being forced to change your name means you are not good enough to carry the name, something which was the ultimate shame.

Usually even when you kick someone out of the family you let them keep the name, only squibs are unable to keep it.

So it didn't matter Harry was the one who chose to change the name and that he disconnected his connection to the Potters, if the papers said he was forced to change his name he was forced.

This situation changed Daphne decision to make him join her group.

She didn't want him to be part of her research group as if she ever needed an outside help she would find it much harder to get one as his name became taboo in high society.

It also lessened Snape's complicated feelings for the boy as now he wasn't James Potter's son anymore but just another Slytherin student.

It also helped confirm Voldemort's thinking about Dumbledore using the boy as a distraction from Marcus Potter and the philosopher's stone.

But the one person who those news confused more then ever was Dumbledore. He wasn't sure how the boy knew about this name and how much he knew about the deathly hollows, so he had to think hard about how to proceed from here.

Harry's pov

Harry continued his routine, he went to class, researched magical plants affects and the best ways to put them inside potions in the library, experimented with charms in the ROR, he kept studying chemistry which helped him with potions and transfiguration in History of Magic, completed his last trap in his mind in DADA and worked on magic control while draining his magical energy in the Tesla room.

After a month of that he was really glad with the results, his ingredients knowledge grew by a lot and with the help of Snape's office hours he managed to ask questions that helped him avoid mistakes in the preparation process.

His magic control and chemistry knowledge improved by so much that now he managed to complete most of first year's projects.

Yet the two things that he felt most satisfied about were magical power and charms.

His magical power after a few years of growing slowly started growing faster, yet he wasn't sure if it because of his new way of draining his energy or because of Hogwarts, after all maybe there was a reason why Hogwarts was built where it was built. 'Another thing to test' he thought

As for charms, Harry managed to completely master the four most important charms for him right now, shrinking charm, invisibility charm and doubling Charm.

One of the interesting things he found out is that there were some spells who couldn't be used with the same versatility wandlessly as they could be used with a wand. One of them was the doubling Charm as when he used it wandlessly he only managed to create a clone of himself and while it was interesting, this clone couldn't move at all and disappeared after something touched it.

Mastering the charms meant it was time to take Hogwarts's vanishing cabinet.

Slytherin's common room

Harry's pov

Harry charmed himself with invisibility and notice me not charms, he then moved to the first floor, after arriving near the vanishing cabinet, he casted another notice me not charming the cabinet, used the doubling Charm to make another and then he used the shrinking charm on the real cabinet, took it into his packet, and levitation charm on the fake cabinet and moved it to the exact spot the original was.

Then he went back to his room and to sleep.

Teacher's lounge

Third's pov

It was the time for the first update of the first year's situations academically, while for other years the teachers did it every three months, first years got once a month so that the teachers could help them to the best of their ability to get better learning ability's, after all for all their magical world natives students it's the first time at school, while for the muggle-borns it's the first time learning about magic.

The only reason why they didn't start yet was because they were waiting for their headmaster who is always late. Even though he never talked in those meetings he still listens and calls teachers for a private chat to discuss their students.

"I'm sorry for the delay, I was stuck with the minister." The headmaster came and sat at the head of the table.

The teachers started by the names of the students.

"Miss Abbott," professor spout started "is a lovely young Hufflepuff lady..."

They continued talking about students until "Miss Granger is one of the most dedicated students I have ever had the pleasure to teach," Professor McGonagle stated "she is also smart and always willing to help a friend, especially mr. Longbottom who has become a good friend with her.

In addition, it's can be seen that she also became a friend with mr. Peverell, previously known as Potter and you can sometimes find them studying together at the library and eating together. I don't see what we can do to make her a better student."

"I don't agree entirely," professor Snape said "while she's indeed an above average student, she has some problems.

Firstly she keeps giving textbook answers, and while it means that she would succeed it tests, it also means she doesn't truly understand the subject she is talking about, as it's more about memorizing with her than understanding. It also means that while right now she succeeds in her works, in sixth year and seventh, when it's more about putting the knowledge into practice she would fail hard."

"I never saw it that way, Severus." Professor McGonagle said "Is here anything else you can add?"

While most students hated professor Snape because of his bluntness and favoritism toward Slytherin, the teachers really appreciated him.

Snape, while not the nicest man, was always able to lookout for every student and if they noticed, help them identify a way to better themselves.

As for his favoritism, the teachers themselves didn't care at all about the house points as more than a way to keep students out of control and Snape made sure to only give detentions when it's deserved as he would have to watch them.

"One more thing than, I don't know how she helps in your classes but in mine she helps Longbottom by preventing him from making mistakes, and while it's good to always be helpful, it prevents mr. Longbottom from learning from his mistakes and make sure he believes he can't do anything without her."

"I will talk to her about it Severus, you have my word."

After that they continued to talk about more students till they arrived to Neville Longbottom. "Heir Longbottom is a sweet boy though I'm not sure why's he Gryffindor, while he has difficulties with transfiguration, I can't know until a later date if it's magical problem, a talent he doesn't have or just a bad start."

"Theoreticall problems he won't have,"

Professor Flitwick said "while he doesn't have a lot of passion for studies, he is a hard worker by what I see with his homework and his friendship with miss Granger and especially mr. Peverell."

"He is also a natural with plants." Professor spout told everyone

"If I have to put my finger on his main problem," professor Snape said "it's his lack of confidence. I suggest we all try to make him have stronger confidence and a backbone, as without that he would never succeed with most spells and potions."

After a little while it was about Malfoy

"While heir Malfoy is an above average student right now," Professor McGonagle started "it feels more based on his previous studies and less like he tries."

"I will speak to him." Professor Snape told them and they continued

"Mr. Peverell Is a little more complicated I'm afraid," professor McGonagle started "while his homeworks are perfect his class work is less than average, while it looks like his wand work is almost perfect, it seems like his magical power or talent is not good enough to become one of the best."

"What?" Professor Flitwick exclaimed "he is the brightest student I have ever had the pleasure to converse with! While he doesn't answer questions in class unless asked, after class and at my office hours he comes asking some of the simplest yet hardest questions to be asked about.

He is also supremely clever, I have no idea how you got him Severus, with his mind and theoretical passion he showed, he should have been a Ravenclaw!"

"I agree with most of what you said, Filius. He has talent in potion of the best kind- a hard worker one, while he doesn't have any premature knowledge most children from magical households come with, he has passion and willingness to work hard to fill the rest. I believe he might be a potion master material."

When they finished talking about Harry Peverell, they continued to his ex-brother, "Potter is one of the worst students I have ever had" Snape stated before anyone could say anything "He does his homework half- heartedly, he doesn't follow instructions and he is sure the sun comes out every morning of his a*s"

"Severus!" Professor McGonagle yelled, "watch your words!"

"While his words are extreme, I can't deny any of them" professor Flitwick said. "Be that as it may be, he is still a teacher and he should still watch his words" professor McGonagle said "and I think that the best way to do it is by treating him like any other student" "a little too late, Minerva. As you already showed him that he can break the rules and still get a reward, did you not?" Professor Snape said snarky.

"We needed a seeker, and he is a natural"

"And if you were a coach in a professional quidditch team it would have been the right thing to do, but you are not! By giving him the spot you told everyone in your house that by braking the rules, if you succeed, you get a reward that usually should be impossible. More than that, you give the rest the feeling that as long as you have connections or if you are famous, you can do everything you want!" Professor Snape's voice was raised by the end of his speech and there was a couple of seconds of awkward silence.

"You are right," she answered him in the end with a low voice "but what am I supposed to do now? It won't matter if I take it from him now, would it?"

"No, it won't. Now we need damage control, as much as I would hate it, Potter should have his position, but we should use it to make him do his homework with the threat of taking his position. As for the other kids, we just need to make sure the rest of the year he doesn't get special treatment and they would forget it, but give him special treatment one more time and that's it, we have seven years to teach students who think being famous and rich is everything."

After that talk, for the next few students the mood sucked.

Than came the talk about Ron Weasley. "He is the laziest boy I have ever met!" surprisingly it wasn't Snape who said it but Flitwick. "Out of the four homeworks I have assigned he did one and I know for a fact he copied it from mr. Longbottom as even the name was copied.

When I asked him if he copied he told me that I asked for a written page and he wrote it, so what is the difference between coping or not. I suggest a latter to his parents and for you to talk to him Minerva."

"I agree, I will talk to him"

They finished quickly after that and at 22:30 you couldn't see a single soul in the lounge
