Remzal Von Enili: Yes I am using your idea.
Sharingan Awakens, Monkuton Blooms
It was well into October when Harry's routine was rudely interupted once again. He was leaving the library when a bushy haired girl ran straight into him her nose burried in her book knocking them both over.
"Urghh watch where your going sheesh." He groaned as he picked himself up off the floor.
"Well maybe you should have been looking as well, I'm not the only one at fault here." She sniped back picking up and dusting off her books. Harry just used his wand to summon what was his from the mess. She gaped at him.
"That's a fourth year spell. How are you able to do it? You shouldn't have the power to do it even." She spoke rapidly while he stared at her.
"All of us learn it first week of school from our older school mates, it doesn't even take that much to cast you just have to concentrate really well." Harry retorted glaring mildly at her. "All it takes is practice something you cant do with your nose stuck in a book!"
"How rude! I'll have you know that I am top in all my classes thank you." She retorted glaring at him.
Harry smirked at her. "Take a look at the scoreboard for the top ten sweet heart, you will find your name is right behind mine." He dusted himself off and walked away smirking at her flaberghasted expression.
"Well I Never!" she exclaimed from behind him.
Blaise and Neville met him as he rounded the corner.
"Was that Hermione?" Neville asked. The boy was much more confident now that his magic was unbound.
"Yeah She ran into me, her nose was buried in a book like normal." Harry sighed.
"You riled her up again didn't you?" Neville deadpanned.
"Maybe a tad, she's a good academic rival." He shrugged.
"Why don't you just tell her instead of baiting her like this."
"Take away my fun why don't you Mr. Greenthumb, I still can't beat your scores in Herbology. You even have all the upper years beat." Harry fought back playfully shoving him.
"I still don't know what you see in that muggleborn." Blaise said quietly, he had sworn off using the other M- word in front of Harry. Mainly cause it insulted his friends mother.
"Like I said a good Academic rival, She just needs to be brought back to reality every once in a while. All those books can't be good for her health. Oh yeah I got the books we need to survive Quirrell's class." Harry said handing a book to each of them.
"So Neville when are you getting a new wand?" Blaise asked as they all walked towards the great hall.
"Over Christmas, I'm really happy Madame Pomfrey convinced her that dads old wand just was not suited to my magic. Though it's been weird lately I have been feeling something else, not just my magic." He stated not noticing as Harry's eyes grew wide, Blaise noticed however.
"Something you'd like to share with the class there, Harry?"
"Ohhh, you got something to share with everyone Potter? Better say it nice and loud then you bloody traitor." A snide voice cut in.
"Hello Weasley." Harry said rolling his eyes. "What do you want now?" he asked turning to face the red head.
Ronald Weasley glared at him, "I want you to quit bothering us Gryffs. Nobody wants to deal with a stupid snake like you scum!"
"Do you honestly believe the drivel you spout off on a daily basis Weasley? Does the wizarding world lack common sense so badly? Seriously name one thing I have done to you to have me labled as such." Harry replied idly polishing his nails on his outer robe.
"You got sorted into Slytherin."
"and?"
"…"
"Are you serious, Your deferming my character because of where I was sorted. Did it ever occur to you that I do not want to be MY PARENTS." Harry stated firmly back to the bewildered red head.
"BUT YOU'RE THE BOY-WHO-LIVED, YOUR SUPPOSED TO BE A GRYFFINDOR! NOT SOME SLIMEY SNAKE!" Ron exploded drawing everyones attention.
"So I am supposed to kow-tow and pander to people I have never even met to fulfill a fictional image that is twisted from the DEATHS OF MY PARENTS in order to play into the fanatical world of the mindless sheep that make up the entirety of the wizarding world. Is that it?" Harry asked watching as Ron nodded not noticing the dangerous waters he was treading.
"Let me tell you something Weasley. I have no intention to stick my head out on the chopping block for people I have never met. If you are not my friend or someone I respect I don't give a shit about you. And if you value your life YOU WILL NEVER APPROACH ME AGAIN!" Harry all but hissed out unconciously flaring his K.I. scaring the hot headed Gryffindor out of his wits. Harry turned his back on the shaking boy and looked at his friends pale faces and sighed.
"Come on guys I really don't wish to deal with the idiots right now." He said calmly walking away. It was then Ron did something he shouldn't have, he opened his mouth again.
"Gee, Potter what would your parents say if they saw you now, you damned cowardly death-eater scum!" Everyone took a step back as Harry's killing intent flooded the area, hanging over them like a stifling blanket as he stopped short of his next step.
"What did you just say?" he asked in a deceptively calm voice.
Severus was walking as he felt a shift in the air, all his instincts screamed at him to run fast and far. He saw a group of people stopped in the corridor up ahead and ignored said instincts, walking towards the coming storm. The air shifted again getting lighter before coming flooding back as he heard something that he deduced to be the cause.
"You heard me death eater scum…"
"No no! Weasley before that what did you say again?" Harry said as he turned around really slowly. "I believe I heard you mention something about my parents now what was it?" he asked stalking forward swaying lightly looking for all the world like a cobra stalking its prey.
Severus pushed through the crowd roughly as he heard Potter respond. His memory flashing back to the incident in the common room two weeks ago when everyone found out the hard way not to mention the boys parents.
"I asked what would they think of you? If I were them I would have cast you out already. They would be so dissapointed seeing their son consorting with dark wizards." Ron said unknowingly adding fuel to the fire. He pulled out his wand and trained it on Harry. " I think I will do them a favor and get rid of your traitorous arse right here. STUPEFY!" he shouted a jet of red light coming from the end of his wand.
"Protego" Severus hissed as Harry raised his wand. The red spell reflected into the ceiling.
"WEASLEY! POTTER! WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING?" He shouted at the both of them. Potter turned to face him absolutely livid, Severus took an unconcious step back as he looked into the boys eyes. Instead of the normal emerald they had turned a deep ruby red.
"Nothing Profsessor." Harry responded cooly putting away his wand, eye color receding to normal.
"Both of you my office now!" Severus barked in a tone that brooked no argument. Harry fell lightly in line as Ron trudged sullenly behind his face devoid of healthy color as he prayed to various deities to keep his life.
Severus was just content to have averted a catastrophe in the making. He and the rest of the snakes had learned the hard way not to mention anything about the boys parents.
~Flash Back~
Severus was in the common room with his snakes grading papers. It was the time that he normally set aside for anyone to approach him for counsel or just to talk. As he kept an eye over the students, he noticed Warrington (a notorious bully) approach Potter. He didn't interfere since he wanted to see how Potter handled conflicts when presented with them.
"Hey Mudblood, what are you reading?"
"Go away Chris I need to finish this, what! Hey give that back!" Harry said as he reached for the Herbology book he was studying from.
"Heh, I bet without your precious books you would be as worthless as your parents were Potter!" he taunted the boy.
Severus looked up sharply watching how this went, Potter stiffened.
"What did you say Warrington?" Potter asked calmly. All the people in the common room had stopped and were watching them.
"I SAID you dumb shit that with out your precious books you would be as worthless as your parents mudblood! I bet they begged the dark lord for mercy as he killed them."
Killing intent flooded the room and several students started shaking.
"Professor would you kindly ready the dueling chambers please?"
Severus startled for a moment at being addressed so suddenly.
"I assume you wish to do this the diplomatic way Potter?" he stated getting himself under control. He watched as Potter nodded, the boy's eyes never leaving Warrington who looked smug. Severus walked through a side door and down the narrow hall to raise the wards in the empty room. Word spread fast through Slytherin house about the duel that would shortly take place. Students filing into the seating on either side of the room safe outside the dueling wards.
"Warrington for those remarks I challenge you to a duel of honor no hold barred anything but the unforgivables." Potter said loud enough for everyone to hear. "Do you accept?" Christopher Warrington smirked at the challenge.
"Sure why not, I feel like putting a mudblood in his place today." He replied getting a few guffaws from the crowd.
"All right lets get this over with Warrington left, Potter on the right. Wands down, Bow, Begin." Severus said rubbing his temples and stepping back out of the wards.
"Avis," Harry said whiping his wand towards Warringtons face and darting to the side dodging the stupefy sent his way.
"Aqua Eructo, relashio, protego." He incanted chaining spells, Severus was dumb founded as he watched the two.
"Stupey, incarcerous god dammit stay still you little shit!" Warrington growled out.
"Baubillius," Harry said as bright light filled bubbles streamed out the end of his wand distracting his larger opponent. He ducked to the side and cast again. "Bombarda, colloshoo!"
He hit Warrington making him stumble and fall only for the boy to dodge the disarming hex.
"Incarcerous, Stupefy, Lumos Maxima!"
Severus was impressed Potter wasn't giving his opponent time to retaliate and was keeping the third year on the run with first year spells. He had to give it to the boy he was creative as he picked out a scouring charm from the mess. Fillius would fall in love with Potter maybe he should show him the memory, hmmmm.
"REDUCTO, I WILL GET YOU POTTER!" Warrington roared finally finding time to return fire.
"EXPELLIARMOUS, STUPEFY, EVANESCO, INCARCEROUS" Potter yelled out all three spells hitting Warrington blasting him backwards into the wall, unconcious and bound tightly in ropes. Severus had to stifle a laugh at the scene, the rest of the snakes had no such compunctions when they saw the fate of the boy. A little known fact about the incarcerous spell was that the ropes would tie a person in the image of what the caster had in mind, similar to transfiguration. It turns out that Potter was going fow maximum embarrasment since he vanished Warringtons clothing except the boys boxers and had him tied up Shibari style. He then watched as Potter pulled out a camera and snapped a few pictures quickly hiding it again before walking over and Enervating the boy.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Potter you little shite!" Warrington all but screamed as he struggled.
"Let this be a lesson to you Warrington, NEVER INSULT OR EVEN MENTION MY PARENTS AGAIN! I am not a nice person when you do, you can insult me all you want I don't care. You have been warned." He then turned to look at the spectators. "YOU ALL HAVE BEEN WARNED!"
Severus watched as the boy stalked off smirking, Yes he definitely had James Potter in him but that was definitely over run by Lilies vindictive streak and imagination. He freed the bound boy and dropped the wards, not caring as the embarrased third year got swarmed by his year mates. If you lost a duel you endured the walk of shame. And this was definitely a walk of shame. Fillius would love it!"
~Flash Back End~
Severus ushered the boys into his office before flooing Minerva. A minute later and an unhappy Gryffindor stepped through.
"To what do I owe this pleasure Severus?"
"I was rather lucky this afternoon Minerva to stumble upon a conflict between Mssr's Weasley and Potter. I stepped in as Mister Weasley attempted to stun and stopped it from escalating. From what I gathered from the witnesses it seems Weasley was antagonizing my student." Severus stated calmly as Minerva turned to the two of them. Rons face was flushed with anger while Harry was coldly impassive like slate.
"Well what do you have to say for yourselves?" Minerva barked out sharply.
"Potter started it"
"I tried to walk away." They both said at the same time. Minerva scowled at them.
"One at a time please?"
"Professors I wish to submit a memory of the event in question." Harry spoke up suddenly. Severus eyed Harry closely while McGonogall looked at him.
"Very well, it will help clear this up quickly. Severus if you please?"
The dour potions master smirked and got up retrieving his pensive from a tall cabinet. He set the empty basin on his desk and tapped it with his wand charging the enchantments.
"Mr. Potter if you would allow me to retrieve the memory?" McGonogall stated primly. Harry nodded and closed his eyes concentrating. Minerva set her wand to his temple and withdrew the memory placing it in the basin. Both instructors touched a finger to the memory and sat there immobile as their minds were immersed in the memory. Severus quickly deduced that Potter was an Occlumens since the memory wasn't frayed at all as it played out. They returned and Minerva was fuming.
"Mr. Weasley! You should be ashamed of yourself that type of behavior is not going to fly mister. I will be writing your mother about this young man!..." Her voice trailed off as she marched him from the room. Severus turned to his charge who looked at him impassively.
"I will have to take points and assign you a detention Potter. It is only fair, so lets say ten points and an hours worth of detention helping McGonogall sort her papers. That's fair I think. Considering Weasley has to spend two with me scrubbing cauldrons." He smirked.
"Yes'sir, I apologize for my lack of decourum sir." Harry said bowing slightly. Severus waved him off.
"Your detention shall take place on Halloween, a small note McGonogall may be able to tell you about them." He said softly to the boy. Harry nodded before speaking.
"My mother left you some affects, I can't give them to you until next year though sir. I have to be twelve in order to remove artifacts from our family vault." He replied looking at his Professor's shocked expression.
"Very well then. You may go." Severus dismissed the boy as he tried to work through the sudden tornado of emotions that sprang up.
It was three days later right before dinner that Harry found himself sequestered in McGonogalls office sorting the fourth years home work. He had been there since one O-clock when he came for his assigned detention and had never left. His professor had regaled him with various stories of his parents from when she had taught them. In all honesty, he found the information soothing like a balm over an open wound. She had assured him that his parents would have loved him no matter what house he was in. As a result she got done much more quickly then normal and she was able to sit and talk about how he liked school so far. He was happy to learn that he was maintaining his lead on being first in the year. He told her about his academic rivalry with Hermione Granger and how glad he was to have someone he could compete with. McGonogall smiled at him and dismissed him for dinner as he put the last of the sheets down. He headed down to his common room and dropped off his bag.
He was headed into the Great Hall when Quirrell shoved past him screaming, sending him into the wall. He was dizzy as he heard the bastard teacher scream about a troll in the dungeons. He could finally see straight as the students were being dismissed, He got up to take the route back to the common room when he heard a muffled scream from the hallway to the left of him. He grabbed the closest prefect and told them to get a professor and darted off to where he heard the scream. Another scream followed and Harry burst through the door he saw. There in the bathroom was Hermione Granger and the troll. He took aim at the troll who was smashing the sinks trying to get at the bushy haired girl and snarled.
"DEPULSO!" The banisher was strong enough to drive the troll into the stalls opposite the sinks. He darted over to Granger and lifted her up, the troll got back to it's feet and lunged at them. Suddenly everything seemed to slow down for Harry, he channled his Chakra into his legs and in a burst of motion darted to the side and out the door, leaving an enraged troll behind and effectively bowling over the teachers.
The last thing he heard before passing out.
"OH MY GOD HARRY YOUR EYES ARE BLEEDING!"
It was a day later before Harry awoke again when he did he was staring at a glaringly white ceiling. Groaning he sat up and sighed, Madame Pomfrey bustled out of her office as the alarm spell tripped letting her know Harry was awake.
"Well how are you feeling Mister Potter?" she asked as her diagnostic spells wafted over him.
"Like I got hit by a bus and really hungry for some reason." He replied getting a small smile from her.
"How are your eyes then, they were bleeding when you were brought in."
"They feel fine, I can see a lot better too." He stated honestly, inside he was giddy since he knew what this meant.
"Well you seem to have acquired an extra pupil of some sort, though it is not magical in the slightest. Maybe a muggle evolution of some sort? We will have to keep an eye on it. No pun intended." She said quickly as he opened his mouth to capitalize on said pun. He smiled at her as she shook her head muttering about incorrigable Potter males. She summoned a house elf and he gave it his order for lunch. As Harry ate he surmised that it was probably his magic that was keeping the base functions of his Dojutsu active. He shrugged he would experiment with it later.
Meanwhile in the Staffroom
"Albus how in the bloody hell did a troll even get past the wards. They should have alerted you." Severus hissed at his benign employer.
"It didn't register because there is already one here to guard the stone." Dumbledore said gently.
"Ahhh yes the bloody stone, the whole reason this year is screwed up as is." Severus growled.
"Now now Severus Gringotts was broken into it had to be moved you know this."
"I still don't like it Albus at least let us put better protections in place. It seems more like a childs challenge rather than actual protections." Minerva said stiffly.
"The stone is fine Minerva and protected well enough. I will not discuss this further." Dumbledore stated with finality. Staring at his disgruntled staff he broached the other subject that was bothering him.
"Now what of Mr. Potter, how is he doing anyway?"
"The boy is a genius Albus, he is creative and intelligent and will be quite the wizard someday." Minerva stated fondly.
"I have to agree with Minerva, he is a progidy in charms and I would love to see how he is in a duel if he is as creative as Minerva says." Fillius squeaked out happily.
"He is second only to Mr. Longbottom in herbology, he must have had some experience gardening in the past because he always asks insightful questions pretaining to the cycles of the plants." Ponoma stated. They all turned to Severus.
"What?" he asked. They glared.
"Oh fine," he grumped crossing his arms. "The boy is … exceedingly different than I imagined. He is insightful and introverted. In potions he is second to none not even my own godson comes close. If I could I would start him on advanced potions from the rest of the class. He seems bored with the material. I have reason to suspect he is practicing on his own with Longbottom and Zabini." He stated.
"A curious choice in friends," Albus mused.
"Indeed, the three are inseperable." Severus stated drawing looks from the others.
"One firmly light oriented and the other dark. I shall have to keep a closer eye on our young enigma."
Severus rolled his eyes.
"You're reading too far into things again Albus." He stated.
"Or maybe not far enough." Albus said as he turned and walked from the room.
They watched him leave and turned back to each other. Fillius spoke up.
"So Severus what was this memory you wanted to show us?"
The resulting grin would have terrorised first years forever.
Monkuton Awakens
Harry was finally released from the Hospital wing after dinner time and many promises to return if he didn't feel ok. Almost immediately he was accosted by Blaise and Neville who hauled his skinny arse to the nearest classroom. Blaise locked the door and shielded against eavesdroppers. Neville made Harry sit down in a chair and wouldn't let him move.
"I didn't expect the Spanish Inquisition." Harry said indignantly before sighing at the blank looks he got.
"Purebloods, you guys need to see Monty Python." He stated shaking his head sadly.
"Shove it Potter." Blaise replied.
"Seriously man what happened they said your eyes were bleeding, was the troll that damned ugly?" Neville asked seriously. They looked at each other and broke out laughing.
"Ok, ok. If I am going to tell you guys you better damned well keep silent about this." Harry stated after he calmed down. Neville and Blaise looked at each other and back to Harry before nodding.
"We both know Occlumency too, Harry." Neville stated cutting off his next question.
"Ok then. What have you heard about the forbidden continent…"
The resulting conversation threw everything Neville and Blaise knew right out the window. They contemplated on what there friend had spoken of. The thought of everyone having a power greater than magic muggle or magical had really shaken them."
"But not every one can use this Chakra right, you have to train to use it or else you can't access it." Neville stated.
"That's right," Harry agreed.
"And you and I supposedly have a sacred bloodline in this culture. Holy shit."
"Yup that about sums it up."
"Can you train us?" Blaise asked suddenly.
"Yes I can why?" Harry said slowly.
"Like I said I want to be my own person, if I come with you I can finally get away from my mother." Blaise said with a far away look in his eyes.
"I'll do it, Neville you should ask the goblins for an inheritence ritual over Christmas. Madara mentioned that the Senju's left a similar vault to the Uchiha one."
"I will who knows if we are able to get to the Forbidden continent I might have more family too." He said sadly.
"There are only three other people I am going to tell. Blaise you will have to bear with me on this one I have my reasons."
Blaise nodded, "Who."
"The Weasley twins, they are useful and can definitely help out being prodigies in their own right. They have an eye for strategy and espionage the likes of I have never seen before. The other is Professor Snape, I have a feeling he will be very helpful in the future." The group agreed and made a plan before dispersing for the night. Neville would get the twins on board; Blaise and Harry the Professor.
That night Neville made his first mistake and accessed his chakra following the described method that Harry used as he went to bed. He would wake in the morning completely walled off from the room since he made his bed sprout.
Sorry for the longish delay I am having issues in reg life right now.
For those waiting on my story Stand Alone I have only just started the next chapter.
