September 27 (Sunday)
It was 7 am in the morning. Many of the students were still asleep but one student was not. Harry just finished his daily workout, he was ascending in his trunk to go and take a shower, he requested to his mum to have this weekend off since he want to explore Hogsmead.
Since he was being pampered by her she immediately allowed him to have it. Harry got out of his trunk that was in the bed and was covered by the curtains and was warded by him so that no one would know what he was doing and that he would be underestimated which is a huge advantage if he were in battle.
He walked towards the showers and greeted Dean Thomas who was still in his bed a good morning since he was the first one of his dorm mates who woke up.
Harry descended into the common room and saw her sister in front of the chimney. He went back to his dorm to pick up the gifts he bought for her. When he reached down the common room he walked towards her little sister who was still sleepy.
"Good morning Jasmine." Harry said happily and sat beside her. Jasmine just grunted in reply and rested her head on his shoulder. "Still sleepy." Jasmine muttered.
"I know how to wake you up." Harry said.
"Hmmmm?" Jasmine hummed, too tired to talk to her brother.
"I've got gifts for you." Harry said and Jasmine sleepiness slowly turned into excitement. Harry smiles at her and pick out a bag hidden in his jacket. Jasmine quickly snatched the bag out of his hands and opened it. It was a various of items from different shops, some prank tools, butter beer, candies and books.
"You like it?" Harry asked, Jasmine nodded in response and set it aside. And she lied down with her head in his lap.
"You know there are rumors going on that you are dating two girls." Jasmine said.
"Really? Why did they say that?" Harry asked.
"There is rumors you had kissed two girls at Hogsmead yesterday. Is it true?" Jasmine asked.
"You shouldn't easily believe rumors Jasmine." Harry answered as he really wasn't comfortable talking to his sister with this topic.
"I know, but its fun being part of you know?" Jasmine said, she then got up picked a book that Harry had gifted her and lay her head in his lap again and read it. Harry just stroke her hair while she was reading.
After a while, a few students has already come down their dorms, Harry was awaiting for someone from the girl's dormitory as he was always glancing to that direction. A few minutes Hermione came down and sat beside him.
"Good morning Harry, Jasmine." Hermione greeted happily and with a bright smile. "Good morning to you too." Harry greeted back.
"Thank you for yesterday by the way. Luna and I had a really great time." Hermione said to Harry.
This got Jasmine's attention as she connected it to the rumors that circled around. "Yeah me too." Harry replied, he noticed that Jasmine was smirking.
"Well, I'm going to the library to study for potions. Goodbye." Hermione said and walked away from them.
"So the rumor was true, you do have two girlfriends." Jasmine exclaimed.
"No I don't. The three of us are friends and I'd really appreciate it if you don't tell lies about me to anyone." Harry said but was ignored by his sister who just continued teasing him.
"Harry's got two girlfriends." Jasmine sang multiple times before Harry grabbed her and covered her mouth so she wouldn't be able to speak.
In effort to be free from him. Jasmine licked and tried to bite the hand that was covering her mouth and it definitely worked as Harry immediately jerked his hand away.
"Ewww, you're disgusting you know that." Harry said while wiping the saliva in his hand to her robes. Jasmine just put out her tongue to tease him.
"Shouldn't you be disgusted if I were to have two girlfriends?" Harry asked.
"Why would I be disgusted?" Jasmine asked with a tilted head and confused face.
"Why shouldn't you be disgusted?" Harry asked with shock.
"Isn't it like a taboo to have multiple partners in this world?" Harry continued asking.
"Not really, all I know is Sirius has like 4 girlfriends and no one really is bothered." Jasmine explained.
"Really? Sirius?" Harry asked in disbelief.
"Yeah, their names are Jessica, Acacia, Stefanie and Emily." Jasmine said.
"Really? Huh? That changes things" Harry muttered quietly. "What?" Jasmine asked to him.
"Nothing, go and take those gifts to your dorm before something happened to it." Harry instructed, Jasmine groaned as she was still feeling lazy.
"Okay." She said and took her gifts and grumpily went to her dorm.
The real reason Harry got rid of his sister is because Lavender had finally come out, he had something to say and ask to her and he knows of the reputation she has in Hogwarts. He called her name and asked her if they could talk.
"So what do you want to talk about?" Lavender asked to him jovially when they were in a private place without ears and eyes to see and hear their conversation.
"Do you know anything about the bullying that Luna gets from Ravenclaw?" Harry asked quietly.
"Why do you want to know?" Lavender asked,
"Look Harry you're my friend and I'd hate to see you get hurt because of me." Lavender continued to say.
"Don't worry about me, I won't get hurt and get them hurt. I just want to know who I have to protect Luna from." Harry said.
Lavender evaluated him and still doubted if she should tell him about it. "Please Lav, I just can't sit still while my friend suffers nor do I hurt people without reason. That's just who I am, I would do the same thing for you too." Harry argued firmly.
"Well I know that there is three Ravenclaws that bullies her. It's Martha Bulstrode, Mandy Brocklehurst and Emily Nott. Martha and Emily are the same year as Luna. Sometimes, Michael Corner and Kevin Entwhistle helps the three from time to time. From what Padma told me they usually take and hide her stuff." Lavender informed Harry.
"Do you know any of her bullied that are from other houses?" Harry asked.
"Your brother and his friends. George and Fred Weasley. Terrance Higgs and Robert McClaggen from Slytherin." Lavender listed.
"What do they do to her?" Harry asked.
"The twins makes her the target of their pranks. The same is said with your brother but it is more personal and always tease her." Lavender answered.
"What about Hermione?"
"It's the same with her but the Ravenclaws and Slytherins make her the target for their curses. The reason is because she is the smartest in school right now and many of them couldn't accept that."
Harry nodded and pulled out his wand and erased her memories of this conversation
October 2 1995 (Saturday)
Harry was in the classroom with Ms. Green, her tutor, Luna and Hermione. Ms. Green was teaching him the certain wand movement of a certain spell. Hermione and Luna were in a corner of the classroom, they were both reading the Quibbler. Luna was telling her about the creatures in the magazine and how she and her father theorized about it.
Ever since Harry learned the extent of bullying that his friends are receiving, he had been extra protective and cautious for them. And because he is a Potter, the bullying had lessen but still is ongoing.
He had also began to formulate a plan for them to stop, this was also to test his abilities and strength, the results of his training. The first thing he needed to do was to learn creating powerful wards and memory charm so that he couldn't be interrupted and that they wouldn't be able to remember who did it. He already had experience creating wards but he needed something more powerful and effective.
Luckily for him the Hogwarts library is the most extensive and biggest library in the magical world. After a few days of reading and researching, he finally found the spells to ward off unwanted people. A more complicated notice-me-not, compulsion and silencing ward.
Second was to double the effort his training and train himself to be battle ready, physically, mentally and emotionally. He also trained extensively his observation, armament and conquerors haki, but it was still weak compared to how it used to be although his observation was getting stronger.
One thing that frustrates him was his devil fruit powers has still not appeared and he was getting afraid that he no longer possessed his devil fruit. Third was information about his targets. His current target was the sixth year Slytherins, Terrence Higgs. A pureblood supremacist that tormented Hermione and Luna. The real reason he is the first one is to apply the training he had done since he came back.
Harry kept stalking his targets, he kept notes on their daily routines. This was also a good opportunity for him to strengthen his observation. He only knew a little of their routines, their schedules composed of the normal stuff. They go to classes and then go to the Slytherin common room. Though he did learned bits of their personal lives, hobbies and interest.
October 28(Friday)
Harry had finally got the opportunity he have been waiting. He gets to torment one of his targets. Terrance Higgs, Terrance was to have a broom cupboard arrangement with a Hufflepuff, a half-blood. While the girl was in her way to their agreed location, Harry casted a constipation spell on her making her unable to go. It was 11 in the evening and Terrance Higgs was in sight and he entered the cupboard. Harry soon followed.
Harry went inside locked the door and then Terrance perform the wards to conceal their presence. "For a second there I thought you wouldn't show up." Terrance said huskily.
"Do you mind if we light this room. Darkness doesn't really work for me." Terrance continued saying then muttered lumos.
When the room lighted up, Terrance was shocked to see it wasn't his one of his girlfriends but a masked individual.
"What the? Who are--?" Terrance wasn't able to continue as a fist connected hard on his face. Terrance was touching the cheek were the punch connected and was shocked that it was incredibly painful.
He tried pointing his wand to his enemy but his hands were faster and stronger so he was only greeted by a grip and twist in his wrist which made him howl in pain but his howl only got louder as the individual, with one hard squeeze crushed his hand.
Terrance was dizzy because of the pain, he looked the person in the eye of the mask, a mask in the form of a cat, he tried moving his right hand but even that action was too painful.
Realizing that his left arm was still in perfect shape, he tried to swing it in attempt to get even but was unable to as his enemy pulled down his hand strongly and it dislocated his shoulder and to increase his suffering the masked man pushed his forearm which made the bone stick out of his skin.
Terrance immediately plopped down to floor because of the pain, tears then involuntarily came out of his eyes, and he was clutching his arm to lessen the pain. His eyes were on the level of the floor. He was looking for his wand and saw it was behind the masked man and on the floor, he then made an effort to sit upright and lean into a wall.
Once he was in a comfortable position he looked and glared at his assaulter. He have many things to say to the man but he didn't in fear to be in pain again.
"You know, when I was planning this….. Event, I thought you would have put a lot of fight or would at least make it hard for me since you always say that purebloods are better and stronger than mudbloods." The masked man said in a very deep and altered voice.
"If you didn't sneak on me I would have beaten you, Mudblood." Terrance said with rasp and struggle. After a second he said that, the assaulter stomp down on his left calf.
Terrance was shocked that his action fractured his bones. His tormentor then raised his legs up Terrance immediately pleaded.
"Please don--" unable to finish as his foot had already shattered his knees. He howled in pain again and clutched his left leg with only his left hands.
"Please, I'll give anything you want. Tell you anything you want. Just please." Terrance pleaded and cried.
"I want you to suffer as much as you have let my brothers and sisters suffer. To suffer a hundred times more than they did." The masked man replied, and he grabbed his victim's collar and forced him to stand. He then punched his ribs and crack noises were heard followed by a cry.
Terrance was falling down after the punch but his tormentor prevented him to fall and forced him to stand up. With another punch in the ribs Terrance is no longer aware of what is being done to him but can feel the pain and agony of every action his torturer made to him.
October 29 (Saturday)
It was 9 in the morning and a group of students were on their way to the entrance hall to spend their weekend in the local village. They were peacefully walking when a sound of scrambling metals and wood can be heard from the broom closet. They were curious for a moment but ignored it. Then the same noise came from it. One of the student checked to see what it was, they're assumptions were that a student had too much to drink last night and ended in a broom cupboard. When the student opened it, it was a sight of person covered in blood.
"How is he Poppy?" Albus asked to matron.
"It's terrible Albus. His right hand is shattered, right elbow and shoulder is dislocated. His left leg and calf is all shattered. His ribs is all shattered, concussion in his head, bruises and scars all over his body. Damages in over 15 organs, his stomach, kidney, lungs, intestines….." the matron said but was cut-off by the headmaster's question.
"How long will he recover?" the headmaster asked.
"He is going to be comatose for two months to repair the brain damage. Another two for fixing his organs. Then it will take at least six months to repair all the damages in his bones, muscles and skin." Pomfrey stated gravely. "He was lucky that he was bought here early or it would have been too late." Pomfrey continued.
"He is fortunate indeed." Dumbledore said. The matron then went to her personal office leaving the headmaster alone. After a few minutes the door opened with the Higgs, Umbridge, and three aurors entering.
"Mr. and Mrs. Higgs. I am very sorry for what happened to Mr. Terrance." Dumbledore said sadly to the victim's parents.
"I have no need for your apologies Dumbledore. What I need is for the person responsible to be rotting in Azkaban." the father said with extreme anger and loud voice.
"But more importantly how did this happen under your nose?" the mother said with equal anger.
"The perpetrator did this with the full intent of harming your son. My guess is that he had planned this for a long time. There were no witnesses, the ghosts, paintings and elves were also unaware and didn't see any students that were roaming around after curfew." Dumbledore said.
"So someone snuck in and did this to my son?" the father asked.
"Yes that is the most likely, I will provide the names of people that entered the castle to the aurors who should be at the headmaster's office right now." Dumbledore answered.
"Will you be able to give us the names of the people who entered within the month?" one of the auror asked which was answered by a nod by Dumbledore.
"Mr. and Mrs. Higgs, the minister and I are also distraught at this incident, for a citizen of high standing happen here at Hogwarts where they should be safe. On behalf of the Ministry, I assure you that we will also provide our outmost support to your family and that we will do everything in our power to bring the person responsible in chains and we will make sure that this will not happen again to any student." Umbridge chimed in, trying to say it in a comforting way and sweetly but only turned into an ugly and disgusting way.
The sound of the door opening can be heard again, they all looked to see professor McGonagall entering, she walked towards the group surrounding the injured student. "Headmaster, the teachers are already gathered in the assigned hall except madam Umbridge as she was nowhere to be seen." McGonagall said to the headmaster who nodded in recognition.
"I'll take my leave, Madam Pomfrey please take care of them." Dumbledore said to the matron. "Why are the teacher gathered in the great hall?" Umbridge asked with confusion to both the professors. "That will be discussed in the meeting professors please lead the way. Oh and Poppy please take care of our guests and the patients." Dumbledore said and gesturing both of the professors to walk first.
