When we got to the Hospital wing, Madam Pomphrey was there and had us place my friends on the beds and then forced me to get on one too. Then she began examining us for any injuries. Luckily she didn't find anything wrong and just forced us to stay over night.
We were let out of the hospital wing in the morning after another examination and we were told to take it easy.
November and December months were relatively calm and nothing much exiting happened in school. Outside however was different, as Sirius Black was finally given a trial and was found innocent, because Peter Pettigrew was discovered to be a line and in hiding, he was captured and interrogated. Pettigrew was found to be a traitor to the Potter Family, thus he was given life in Azkaban. Sirius was to spend the next few months in Saint Mungo's recovering both physically and mentally from Dementor exposure.
I had received a letter stating that I would be allowed to see him in January because at that point he should be half way through treatment and a friendly face would be a positive influence.
On Christmas I received my fathers invisibility cloak, I had scanned it for a multitude of charms and found several tracking charms that would make some one know where the cloak is. The good thing was that I had spent the last two months studying tracking charms and how to remove them and or to transfer them to different objects. Which I did as soon as possible.
In addition, I also modified the cloak so that it could be worn as a cloak and not like a sheet. It now acted like a floor length coat with a hood that covers the whole face, the sleeves also end up as gloves meaning that the wearer is now completely invisible when it is worn.
With the cloak ready I wanted to go and search for the Mirror of Erised, when I left the common room I donned the Invisibility cloak, took out the map and looked for were Dumbledore might be and seeing that he was waiting around a room on the third floor I began to walk towards that location. When I was near by I cast a 'muffliato' charm on me to silence the noise that I was making and walked towards where I should see Dumbledore. However the headmaster was not visible as he was under a disillusionment charm, so I decided that if he was going to test me I was going to treat him in a similar way. I walked up to him and cast a silent 'stupefy' on him, he was out like a light, before he fell down I cast the levitation spell on him and went into the room with the mirror. In the room I cast a sleeping charm on the headmaster and took away the Elder Wand from him, then I grabbed a piece of regular wood and permanently transfigured it to look just like the Elder Wand. After that I sat down and focused on getting the Philosophers stone so that it would be properly protected, I didn't need the stone as I could always make one in the future. With that on my mind I looked into the mirror and saw my self standing there with a grin on my face. My reflection took out the stone from his pocket and showing it to me he placed it back in side, with that action I felt the stone in my pocket and decided to depart back for the common room, but not before conjuring a comfortable chair and placing Dumbledore into it and making it look as if he fell asleep. And as I was walking out of the door I sent a 'rennervate' at him so that he wouldn't be snuck up on by an enemy.
As I walked back to the common room while still invisible I sent both the Philosophers stone and the Elder Wand into 'Morning Wood' so that they would be safe from others. Now I just have to get rid off Quirrell and the rest of the year should be peaceful.
I waited a week quietly studying with Dudley and observing the other teachers, and the only one that was acting out of sorts was the Dumbledore as I could see that he was stressed and also the fact that he was usually observing me while under a disillusionment charm. I acted like everything was fine and just waited for a letter that would tell me when I would be able to go and see Sirius.
On January 3rd I received a letter during breakfast stating that Amelia Bones will come and pick me up in the afternoon so that I could visit Sirius at Saint Mungo's. I waited with my friends for her to show up and upon Madam Bones arrival asked her if it would be possible if Dudley and Hermione could come as moral support. She allowed it and the four of us traveled through the Floo system and arrived at Saint Mungo's.
When I saw my godfather for the first time I was shocked, he looked bad. The two months of recuperation improved his health, but he still had a long way to go. When he saw me he was stunned as I didn't really look like James, oh sure there was some resemblance how ever I didn't have the messy black hair, or the glasses. Instead my hair was to my shoulders and it was wavy black with red highlights, I didn't need glasses because I didn't have the soul shard damaging my ocular nerves, I did have Lily's vivid green eyes, I also stood at 5' 1" and was somewhat muscular due to my morning exercises.
As we both stared at each other, "Hello, Dog-father you look like death warmed over, I know you are supposed to be a play-boy but did you have to hit on the dementors?" I asked him.
…
…
…
Every one looked at me like I was insane.
Sirius started snickering. "Hello Harry, come here and let me give you a hug, I haven't seen you in 10 years."
We hugged and every one started asking me how I knew who Sirius was. I knew him from the books and movies, but for their benefits I told them that I remembered him from when I was a baby.
"Oh, Sirius let me introduce my friends," I pointed at Hermione. "This is Hermione Granger, one of my best friends and one of the smartest people in Hogwarts. And this is my brother Dudley Dursley, he is Petunias son." I introduced my brother.
Sirius shook their hands, and asked. "Are you telling me that you were raised by Lily's sister? That's not right, your parents will stated that you weren't to go to her sister as she was opposed to magicals," he looked at Dudley. "No offence meant. You were supposed to go to me first, then to Frank and Alice Longbottom, then to Amelia Bones, and finally to Minerva McGonigal." He said that and tried to get off the bed where he was sitting on, however Amelia gently restrained him and told him that rushing off while he was so weak wouldn't do any one any good, he should heal up and then we would find out what happened to the Will.
After that we spent the rest of the day trading stories of our adventures, well it was mostly Sirius's adventures because the moment that Hermione heard that both Dudley and I had finished our regular schooling education she puffed up her cheeks and sulked for awhile. When it was nearing dinner time we said our goodbyes and returned to Hogwarts.
Just as we entered our common room after we had our fill at dinner, Hermione began questioning us about how we managed to finish regular schooling, Dudley the traitor looked at me and told me that I was explaining and walked away to sleep. I told Hermione everything about how both me and Dudley were informed by our parents about magic when we were 6 and that we decided that we would try to learn as much as possible in the 5 years before we would be asked to join the magical world.
"So, now that you know about our history, and now I hope you understand why both of us strive to learn as much as possible." I said.
Hermione sat there thinking over about what I told her, after some time she asked if it would be possible for us to keep in touch over the summer and with my nod of agreement, she hugged me and rushed to sleep.
The rest of the year passed by without any problems, Quirrell was forgotten as the end of the year exams approached, Dumbledore became more and more twitchy as the end of the school year approached. It was beginning to be obvious that the Headmaster was losing it, I thought that he might be replaced by next year and if not then I might have to help him to move on to retirement next year.
Hermione, Dudley and I were in the top three in our year, and as we left Platform 9 ¾ we exchanged information so that we could talk to each other, and so we went home with our respected parents.
When we finally got home our parents wanted to know everything that happened at school, and even though Dudley and I sent several letters they wanted hear about our school year in person. It took us several hours of explanations and we informed them that our friend Hermione hopefully would be spending some time with us so that she could catch up studying regular classes.
After spending several weeks hanging out with our parents Dudley and I invited Hermione and her parents to a picnic so that our families could get to know each other and could have some one to talk to about the craziness of the magical world.
After the picnic I decided to sort out the stuff that I pillaged from the room of requirement. All the furniture and anything that looked like an antique that didn't have a malicious magic I put aside so that I could give to my Mother so that it could be sold for extra income or to be kept for personal use. The rest of the stuff that was cursed I dumped into a giant ritual circle where I purified and stripped the magic from them, the stripped magic I transferred into several large diamonds for future in case I needed it in a ritual or enchanting where my reserves would not be enough.
That took over a month as there was a large amount of items to sort and/or purify. After that I had to sort through the huge amount of books, for this I had to turn to my brother and Hermione for help as I wouldn't be able to sort through my acquired library.
While we sorted through the books my friends finally decided to confront me about what happened to them when they rushed in when I was attacked by the troll. I informed them that I had trapped the troll in a ritual circle that would have transferred its strength and resilience to me, but when they barged in and joined the circle the transfer was split between us. They stared at me with their mouths open, and then Hermione began saying how rituals were banned by the ministry of magic as they were Dark. I asked Hermione to slow down and think about what was so dark about the ritual. One the Troll was attacking me and had it been any one else they would have died, Two was the fact that all three of us were about five times stronger and more resilient then we were before, and Three the Ministry classifies rituals as dark, because they can't control who uses them and the ministry is all about control.
The current Ministry of Magic wants to pacify its people by crippling what the school is teaching them, I pointed at several school time tables that we found inside several books. Those class schedules had more classes, there was ritual magic, alchemy, mind magics, Druidry, and much more.
If something like this happened in the regular world people would try to rebel but due to the fact that the magical world having such a small population it was easier to control it.
After my library was sorted I decided to confront one of the main problems that Harry usually faced with Hermione in the books and fanfictions, 'House-Elf's'. I found a book that had a lot of information on them and after reading and seeing that the information in it supported what I knew about them, that the fact that the House-elf's were a symbiotic race that needed a magical humans magic to stabilize their magic in order to live. I gave the book to Hermione to read and hopefully this will prevent her from going on a crusade to free them.
With several weeks left to the start of the school year I waited for Dobby to show up and worn me about the dangers of this year. And when he finally did show up I was I the middle of a ritual that would strip the magic of several cursed items that would purify the magic and transfer it in to gems. I very surprised when Dobby popped into the middle of the ritual circle and at that time it was too late to stop the ritual as it began syphoning the magic from the cursed objects and the Elf. Dobby only had enough time to yelp in surprise and then he dropped dead from having his magic ripped out from him and into the gems. When the ritual was over, I grabbed my invisibility cloak and wrapping the elf I went out to the garden and digging a grave I deposited him into it and buried him.
In future rituals I would create an additional safety measure that would prevent people or creatures from joining the ritual when it was in progress.
I was a bit broken up with the loss of Dobby, but after a few days of feeling sad I decided that I couldn't change anything about the fact that he died, and feeling sad on his behalf won't help me so I would just have to make sure to add extra safeties to any future Rituals. As I got back to being my usual self I checked over the gains that I had acquired from the ritual. Several gems were filled to their maximum they would be a power source when I would have to deal with the rest of the Horcruxes.
When the time to go and pick up school books and supplies for the second year came up the three of us, meaning Hermione, Dudley and I and our parents went to 'Diagon Alley' where each of us did our shopping and I pilfered Tom Riddles Diary from Ginny, and I also sneaked away towards 'Knockturn Alley' where I went to 'Borgin and Berks'. In that shop I knocked out both of the shopkeepers and told 'Morning Wood' to take everything in the shop and when I was done I erased Borgin's and Berk's memories of me and left them 5000 Galleons for the merchandise this way they would be able to restock for my future shopping.
With shopping done for the year and school starting in a week I was raring to start a new year.
On September 1st Petunia and Vernon drove Dudley and me to the station where we met the Grangers and went to board the train.
As we were searching for a compartment, I noticed a first year girl with radish earrings. I decided that it would be a good thing to introduce myself and the group to the girl. I suspected that this was Luna Lovegood, the unique girl that saw the world differently then the rest of the world.
As we introduced ourselves and upon receiving permission to share the compartment with her our group began discussing our classes and I informed everyone that this year defence would be just as useless as last year's.
When we arrived at the school we separated from Luna and the other first years so that they could go on to the boats while the rest of the years went on to the school on the Thestral drawn carriages. Upon arriving at the castle, we were directed to sit in the great hall and wait for the sorting.
When the first years arrived, I had to listen to another song by the sorting hat and then the sorting began, I ignored most of the first years, except Colin Creevey who went to Gryffindor, I would have to watch out for him as he might be a stalker. Then came the wonderful Luna Lovegood who got sorted into Ravenclaw, and as she was heading towards our table I offered her a seat beside me as she was walking to wards the first years, as she sat beside me and my friends I noticed that several students looked at her with envy, as my group was exclusive.
As the list of the first year students were dwindling down I saw that Ginny was standing there and fidgeting as she waited to be called up. After a few more tense moments she was called up and after a lengthy wait under the sorting hat she was sent to Gryffindor. I saw that she kept glancing at me and Luna with longing and envy, I would have to look out for her as I don't trust the Wesleys.
(There will be a change to a third point of view)
Over the next few weeks Harry (Damien) and his group had gotten used to the classes in Hogwarts, Defence Against the dark arts were another useless class, including potions, and history.
Harry also noticed that Dumbledore was looking worse for ware, and he could only guess that that was due to the fact that the elder wand was not boosting his magic anymore.
As October was coming to a close Harry had prepared a ritual that would siphon the Horcrux and others that were connected to it, as All Hallows Eve drew close Damien decided that he would have to deal with the death eaters at the same time so he had crept up of Snape and stunning him and shoving him into "Morning Wood" he walked towards the prepared ritual circle in the Chamber of secrets where he placed the Tom Riddles Diary and Snape into a van diagram in the middle of the ritual. The diary was placed in the top left circle, Snape in the top right circle, in the bottom circle he placed the many gems that held power from previous rituals, the gems would provide any extra power that would be needed by the ritual. Harry then sat in the middle of the circle where the magic that was stripped of the Horcruxes and the death eaters would go and be absorbed by his body, where it would begin to strengthen his body and magic slowly so as not to cause any negative consequences to him.
As everything was ready to go Harry lay down in the floor and activated the ritual. As the ritual began he could see that the diary opened up and Toms souls was drawn out of it and then he saw that several more wraiths of dear Tom was draw into the circle with the Book. As the soul shards merged Damien looked towards Snape as the mark on his arm lit up and he was slowly being drained of magic and so were the rest of the marked Death Eaters who were connected to the dark lord through the Dark Mark.
With the ritual finished and Harry being slowly enhanced by magic, he put on his invisibility cloak and dragged himself to the Ravenclaw room where he passed out in his bed.
The death of so many purebloods and pure blood fanatics had caused a lot of panic in Wizarding England, however when the investigations were finished it was found out that most of those that died used to openly serve the Dark Lord. It was a tragedy how ever with most of the dark families wiped out the grey and light faction were on the rise. The light faction however was not taking full advantage of the tragedy mostly because Dumbledore was not fully there as he wasn't supported by the Elder wand anymore. Dumbles also had to find a new Potions professor and a head of Slytherin House as Snape had vanished without a trace.
Over the next several months the magic strengthened his body to the maximum that the body could handle, after that his magical core began to be enhanced in both quality and size. However because Harry forgot to remove his wand the ritual considered it as if it was a part of his body and forcefully merged it into his body resulting in a fact that his ability to cast wandlessly was now instinctual and extremely powerful and with the addition of the Spellweaver trait meant that his magical control was on the frits.
Harry spent much of the time that his body and magic was being strengthened studying and learning how to minimise the power required for spells. As when he was practising the stunning spell in the Room of requirement, the spell acted like a laser and sheered through magically reinforced metal dummies thus he forced himself to use as little magic as possible in all spells as he didn't want a pile of bodies if he had a friendly duel.
As the New Years Eve passed Harry had gotten his magic under control and now he wasn't an accident ready to happen. He had to transfigure a random peace of wood to look like his wand to make it look like he was using a wand that way even if people took his wand away he could surprize them with wandless magic.
Professor Binns was dealt with simply as Harry showed up at night under his invisibility cloak while Binns was still lecturing and using his affinity for the soul he banished him to the after life. On the same night Harry decided that he would deal with Lockhart. When he sneaked into Lockhart's room, he stunned the professor and then read his mind. Finding out that that the Monster was Raping students and then obliviating them, Harry was pissed and decided that he would deal with him poetically. After casting the several 'Confundus' charms and an 'Imperio' on the freak, Harry had Lockhart transfer all his wealth and properties to one Harry James Potter and then write a several letters in which he confessed to all his crimes which were then sent out to the Prophet and the DMLE. With that done, Harry had cast a timed disillusionment charm on the professor and had him hang himself in the Great Hall with a copy of his letters under him.
The next morning when Gilderoy Lockhart was discovered in the Great Hall just as everyone was finishing up their breakfast. Harry knew that he was being needlessly cruel, however he needed to get rid of Gilderoy in such a way that would stir up the public and that it wouldn't be covered up by Dumbles. It also had the effect of putting enough pressure on Dumbles as such a public death and the fact that he had hired a rapist might get him removed as a headmaster.
The discovery of the dead professor had caused panic in the students and the faculty. Just as the staff were about to lower the body, Aurors came into the Great Hall and saw the seen in the end the trouble that thus stunt had stirred up was enough to get Dumbledore under an investigation, as the Hogwarts Governors had to step in and appoint a new History Professor and a new Defence Against the Dark Arts professor over the next week.
The rest of the school year was spent peacefully as many of the schools problems were dealt with and students grades were improved as the quality of the professors was much better. Harry was happy with this year as he dealt with 90 percent of the problems of the wizarding world and that meant that he would have to remove just a few more and he could enjoy the rest of his time in this world.
