CHAPTER 4- FIRST DAY
Harry woke up very early like always, everyone was still asleep, he couldn't sleep more so sitting in common room will take his time, he glanced at his watch and saw thats nearly 5 in the morning,for the past years he was up on this our jogging with his roommates, they encuraged him to pay attention on his physic, 'this will save you ass someday, mark my words' they were saying, Harry rolled his eyes at the memory, they could be best friends or real pain in the ass, but he was forced to put up with them for his sake, or this or being in the same room as woman who was labbeled as 'school bigger rapist' if she was realy a rapist then why did they allowed her to stay there, she must have an important role there or something, he shook his head to clear it, reading will do him good for now, silence, without anyone to interfere with his studies, peace and quiet, or so he though, the footsteps from female dorm was heard, Harry didnt looked up to see who might be up on this hour, steps stopped soon, the person must saw him sitting and reading, but soon the same feets moved towards entrance, he didn't looked up from the book he was reading 'what charms are used for' very interesting book he picked, he spotted it yesterday but decided to gain some knowledge on people he is in the same school and rooms, gaining allies will be unseful in the future, but now its time for some relax and interesting book.
Harry was walking to the Great hall to have something to eat, reading for nearly 3 hours made him very exhausted. He never liked to read books, he prefered to test everything in the field. He felt eyes on him, both Slytherin students and others, he felt words like 'do you think he's in Slytherin to have some attention?' 'Do you think he will get me an autograph from his brother? 'maybe he is turning dark, who knows when he will start killing', Harry snorted at the last one, if he turned dark, then world will explode, he will not step so low, he have greater plans than this, he may be lucky he is with group of Slytherin, Prefect told them yesterday that lonely Slytherins are often targeted by other Houses, especialy Gryffindors, so maybe if he was walking alone he would be in trouble with Gryffindor, his idiotic brother told them about him for sure, so he is on minus with this house, but he dont know about what other houses thinks about him.
-hey Potter, from simple curiosity, what led you to our house- Draco voice was heard in whole corridor turned their attention towards the both of them, Harry considered the question, what he could have in mind with that.
-well, the reason is obvious Malfoy, Slytherin house will let me someone big, someone important, i dont need my brother to boost my life, i wiill make my own life, my brother is tthe boy who lived, im hardly know to wizarding world, while is getting his hands full because of remaining Death Eaters, i will succes in political field, it will be more important than his fame, in the future while people will forgot that he is the boy who lived i will be remembered as someone important, i dont know how but surely i will, you will be my first target Malfoy, i want to talk with you in private if you agree- Harry whispered the last part looking intently into young Malfoys eyes, Draco could sense the oprtunity, if he can persuade Potter to his side, his father in future with potter sit vote will be unstopable force, Malfoys and Pottters will gain more than ever.
-i agree, met me after lessons in unused classroom, Crabbe and Goyle will lead you there, now if you excuse me, i must write a letter to father- Draco turned around and stroded towards the Great hall, while Harry was thinking why he must message his father, does he seriously think he will join Voldemort in his conquest? with a snort he entered the GReat hall to feel even more eyes on him, he glanced around asn saw that many people were looking at him disgust, fear, awe and many more he didnt saw, few teachers were looking at him too, mainly Dumbledore with twinkle in his eyes, he ignored all of them and sat at the farest end of the table to not be interupted by some stupid idiots. After what looked like eternity the food finaly arrived, Harry choosed something not to hard, he must take care of his body after all, the most unpleasant thing in this are the stares he was getting, like here at the Slytherin table was sitting some kind of monster, he nudged the boy beside him, the boy startled looked in his eyes, fear was evident.
-y-yes?- he stammered with quiet voice, Harry rolled his eyes at the feeling the boy was having right now, from the look he was older than him so he shouldnt be scared.
-what are all of them staring at?- he asked bluntly and looked once again at the people around him, he couldnt see Gryffindors but he bet that they too wanted to see him.
-w-well, your brother told someone that y-you have a snake, thats why some of them are s-staring at you- the boy turned around and resumed eating his breakfast, this was obvious that his idiotic brother would tell someone his secret.
-well...why dont you show up my friend- the people around his shivered at the language he spoke, this kind of ability had only Salazar Slytherin and few others, usualy they were Dark Lords.
-finally i have something to eat, give me some meat will you- she spoke in quiet and entrancing voice, Harry rolled his eyes but complied, he got some weird green looking meat thing from the plate nearby, his friend slipped from his arm onto the table, eyes glued to the black thing on table.
as headmistress of Hogwarts i must ask you about your...familiar, is...he or she safe to be around other students?- he didn't even see where she came from, does teachers here have some sort of teleportation skill or something?.
-no Professor she is perfectly safe, she will only kill when i order her to- he spoke calmly, but others weren't so calm, the thought that they sleep in the same room as snake who can kill on order is very weird, Malfoy is the one who is the most scared, he pissed him off and Potter promised him pain and misery, will that be it? Will he send his snake to kill him...wait, he said he wants to be some sort of friend, Draco relaxed momentarily, his life is safe, for now at least.
-i understand, but mark my words , if something happen and your familiar will be accused consequences will be taken- he nodded and she returned to her seat, he felt eyes on his which he ignored, his mother looked at him with a small smile, he waved and returned to his food thinking what the first day of this school will bring.
its official, this school is retarded beyong everything he ever experienced, first lesson history of magic is total rubish, person who teach it is ghost who could even kill other ghosts if he could, that was the first lesson when Harry literaly fell asleep, the only person hwo listened is this weird girl in gryffindor who swallowed his every word like…yeah...she listeend very VERY closely, she must be retarded in some way, but this lesson wasnt the most infuriating and borring. Next they had Transfiguration which was...interesting in some sort, she favored her lions but did not ignored the other house, his brother actually got detention when he alongside with Rone Weasley came late by few minutes, she threatened them to change them into pocket watches, that catches his attention, maybe he can learn how to do that, he and his sister would have fun with it, either way, his second lesson was more interesting that his previous one, he even earned ten points for Slytherin for being the first to transfigure his matchstick into needle, she even smiled a little, he grinded victoriously at his brother who was glaring at him alongside with bushy girl from previous lesson, he exited the class knowing that he is already better than his twin. Third lesson was double herbology which is very interesting in its own way, the feeling of dangerous plants and their usage might be very interesting to test, Nevile Longbottom from Gryfindor is good at this, he might consider asking him a bit about the subject, he was paired with Draco Malfoy, he started asking him questions about wizarding world, he said that he is raised by muggles, Draco frowned at the information but started explaining how powerful purebloods really are, putting it easily, Harry was very interested in gaining his trust. Third lesson was Potions, and Harry must say that this was interesting experience, his head of house Severus Snape barged into the room silencing it immediately, he must have some power to do it, his black hair, piercing eyes and cold voice reminded him of Peter, of of the teachers in his previous school, he was the same, he could put the same amount of respect into others, his brother was questioned imediatly and he was screwed, he didnt read ANYTHING before coming to Hogwarts, dont take this wrong Harry only briefly jumped from chapter to chapter to know if this thing is even interesting, some are and some not, Harry was being put in spotlight after his brother lost 20 points and two weeks of detention, he got two on three questions right and earned 20 points for Slytherin, he sent his brother another smug look, dumbass started arguing with Snape about how he treats the two houses, he lost another 20 points and gained two weeks detentions with Filch cleaning floors, many Slytherins snickered as he told that Ron is complete idiot at the end of the lesson, Harry just sent another smug look in his brother direction, saying that his brother was angry was underestimation, he was furious, he was panting and his fists were clenched into balls, he started marching in his direction but unfortunately for him many Slytherins came around the corner and spotted them, they stood behind him asking if everything was alright, his brother gritted his teeth and mumbled that everything was perfect, he turned around and marched into the opposite direction, infuriating his twin is very funny. The last lesson for the day was defence against the dark arts, which was like first one, stuttering mess of a teacher who was afraid of his own shadow, if that wasn't enough his whole class was decorated with garlic, he will need to wash for hours before the smell comes off, Quirell actually did not teach anything useful, he only told them that most creatures are dangerous and they all should stay away from them because they will die for sure, if any monster hunter is like him then Harry have no doubt that they are dying like idiots. Harry seriously considered his aunts words about this school, maybe she was right that this place is useless, that he should attend Chroma, Harry must look if he can unsubscribe to this weird place.
-those lessons are stupid Malfoy dont you see, history of magic is useless, everyone is asleep at his lessons, transfiguration is ok, i hope it stays that way, herbology might be useful, Sprout is going to teach us about some more useful plants, Snape is tolerable, but he could tell more about the potion we are making, and quirell is uselees beyong the Earth, the stuttering faker is so stupid that he is afraid of his own shadow, he would be killed as the first person in Chroma- Harry said while reading his book, Malfoy aproached him after the lessons, everyone could see the mood he is in and vibes he is sending, Draco raised eyebrow at the statement, no one was so bold to insult teachers, specificaly Snape like that, some of the first years were looking at them waiting for something interesting to happen.
-hmmm...that's an interesting thing to say to Potter, and what do you plan to do about any of this?- he didn't mention his interest in this thing Harry mentioned, this whole Chroma place, he heard him mutter about this thing many times during the lesson or break. Harry sighed and leaned his head against one of the pillows that was provided by the couches, he was looking at the ceiling for some time before his eyes settled on the blonde.
-i think about leaving this place and continue at the Chroma, true we have thousands of students and you need to watch your back because even your friend can betray you and kill you but teachers are cool even if their personality is like Snapes, do any of you know if i can unsubscribe to this fancy place?- he asked the whole room while continuing to read a book about the most dangerous animals and plants in the wizarding world. The whole room didn't expect something like that, no one, absolutely NO ONE wanted to leave Hogwarts, if they left then there was a reason, they were harmed, bullied or some other cases.
-emm...no there is not option to withdraw yourself from this place, you are binded to attend all seven years- Malfoy said thinking about it, why someone is forced to attend such a place, sure Hogwarts is considered the safest and most comfortable wizarding school in whole Europe but this time it's another thing.
-useless, you will hear this many times while i'm here, now let's go i'm starving and dinner will be in few minutes- Harry stood and put his book back at the shelf, most of the first years followed his example and walked with him to the great hall, Harry was thinking if he become some sort of leader, even Malfoy, Pureblood with rich family and long history is following a half blood, interesting.
-Potter, wait a moment!- he heard a girl shout behind him, he turned around with many Slytherin and saw the same bushy haired girl from the train and in the previous lessons, she obviously had some sort of grudge against him.
-yes Granger? what can i do for you on this beautiful day- he gestured to a stone wall indicating how bored he already was, Hermione stormed to him that her face was mere inches away from his.
-how did you do this- she demanded to know, she must know how he is so great in classes, many students looked confused at this, how did he do what exactly, even Harry was confused by this.
-can you elaborate please? i don't kinda understand what you mean by this- his eyebrows furrowed as he was furiously thinking about everything he did for this past days here and he didn't reached the point, Hermion huffed and narrowed her eyes at him, this face reminded him about his sister when she was angry at him for not playing with her.
-how are you so good in lessons, i'm obviously spending more time learning, in library and reading book, and i didnt saw you even one time in library or reading any books on our subjects so how?- she demanded to know, Harry blinked once, twice and continued looking at her with furrowed brows, did she really just say that?
-I studied at home. If you know what it is, I don't intend to spend my seven years of life with my head in books you know?- he raised an eyebrow with evident humor in his voice, Many Slytherins snickered and laughed at her, asking such questions after first day of lessons.
-i bet she don't know anything besides books, her home is probably in bookstore- Malfoy sent more snickers through the group, Hermione blushed and stormed from them towards the great hall, harry sighed in annoyance, first day, useless lessons, becoming a leader of first years, his annoying brother and now Granger, what else is waiting of him out there.
Harry was peacefully eating his dinner alongside with all first years, the intent behind this all was easy, eat go to common room, read and go to sleep, wake up, eat, go to lessons and repeat, easy enough, so why was he sitting in headmaster office alongside with his head of house, Arlo, Hermione and professor McGonagal.
-Harry my boy, I heard some news about you bullying others. Is that true?- Headmaster asked with neutral voice, Harry glanced at Hermione and Arlo who looked like they struck gold.
-Can you make me understand this Professor? i kinda don't understand what you mean by Bullying- he asked kindly with furrowed brow he seriously didn't do anything to deserve such a talk.
-You see my boy, I heard that you started to show off in classes, then when Miss Granger asked you a question you said some offensive things- Dumbledore raised his own eyebrow at the statement, when he heard about this previously it sounded more...persuasive.
-if you mean that i answered Professors questions when they asked the WHOLE class, if you mean that when Granger over here stormed into my face DEMANDING to know how i'm doing such good job in my class, if you mean that is said i don't study 24/7 everyday, that i study at home and not somewhere else, that i said i want to spend my next seven years of live ENJOYING the time then yes i bullied them- he said with bored expression, he didn't take his eyes off the person in front of him.
-i see, your version is very similar to the previous one, and off course i can't punish someone for showing his intelligence, you are free to go Harry, i will have a talk with your brother and Miss Granger- Dumbledore said with a sigh, he rubbed his forehead as Harry stood and sent last smug smile at his brother and Granger, he made sure that Snape and Mcgonagal see this, he closed the doors to the words of protest from two persons.
-i never knew my brother and this Granger girl would be so stupid to accuse me of bullying- Harry said in common room when Draco asked him why he was summoned to headmaster, all first years were listening to every word he spoke, like he was some sort of god, very useful in the future.
-thinking about their relationship with you i expected something like that to happen you know?- Draco raised eyebrow at him while Harry rolled his eyes in boredom, he already finished his book and had nothing else to do, he may as well explore some castle in the same time, he told everyone who listened that he is going to see if something interesting will happen and that he dont want to be followed by anyone.
So here he is walking through darkening corridors of the enormous castle, trying to find anything interesting to make his day, after today's events he seriously thinks on quitting this school, medieval look, not heard of electricity or communication, sure, place have style but its not his style, he prefers something more modernized but he is satisfied for now. Everything here is alive, that much he concluded, moving stairs, walls showing secret passages, talking paintings, spooky knight armors and everything Harry didn't understand.
-oi Harry wait a moment- he heard behind him and he groaned in frustration not even a minute of peace, he turned towards the person who said that.
-Yes Granger, what now?- he said with resigned voice, he spotted her, his brother and redhead he did not met, the last one was looking at him like he was some sort of trash.
-because of your lies we got a detention for two weeks, it's the first one i ever got you know?- she said with a bossy voice, waiting for him to probably apologize or something.
-congratulation, there is time for everything in your life, make it worth, now excuse me- he turned around only for her to run in front of him and stop him in his tracks.
-are you not going to apologize to us? you put us in a dangerous situation there, if you said more then we would probably get expelled do you know what that means?- she waved her arms in the air like she would try to take something out, he only continued looking and waited for her to stop making such a big fuse over the situation.
-oh wow, congrats, you would get expelled, woohoo, i would throw a party on your departing, if you get expelled please tell me i will buy you some gift- he said with small smile and waved his hands to emphasize his point, he moved around her and started walking once again, this time towards his common room, when he turned the corner he heard comment about 'slimy snakes' he rolled his eyes and continued on his way to his room, and probably bed.
-oi Potter wake up, it's time for your last meal of the day- Harry didn't saw who said that as he groaned and rolled in his bed, luckily he rested good enough, he won't miss any meal, he rolled from the bed, he was still in his robes, he walked down the stair and saw majority of the first years waiting for their leader, he rolled his eyes and exited the room with people behind him. Upon entering the great hall many eyes landed on him and his people, he called them 'sneaky snakes' even if he didn't tell them that, someday he will but not today.
-lets take a sit and eat, i want to sleep- he grumbled to his children, they did as they were told, finally after few minutes the rest of the school entered the great hall and food appeared, Harry decided to take only salad and some pumpkin juice, must stay healthy, some first years take the same, hopping that they will get the same performance in classes, harry even if saw that he didn't show anything, dinner passed in good mood for him, after eating he spotted his mother talking with Professor McGonagal about something, she spotted him and waved, he returned it, after the exchange it was time to go to bed, harry rushed from the Great Hall with first years following, this will be the longest 7 years in his damn life, maybe he should teach something those kids as a proud father would, but that for the future, right now he must sleep the stress from this day, after checking if some stray kids weren't following him to his bed he finally relaxed.
AN: SORRY FOR SUCH A DELAY BUT I WAS ON VACATION WITH MY FAMILY, I WAS RELUCTANT TO LEAVE MY SAFE PLACE CALLED MY ROOM BY I WAS FORCED TO ATTEND THE DAMN THING, THERE WASN'T ANY INTERNET SO I COULDN'T WRITE AND STARTED IMMEDIATELY AFTER COMING HOME SO...HERE YOU ARE, PLS ENJOY
