Disclaimer: If I have said it once, then I will say many more times, I DO NOT OWN HARRY POTTER! It all belongs to J.K. Rowling and anyone else.

A/N: Hello readers, ValentineKnight here. I'm so glad for the reviews for the last chapter, and I hope I impress you with this as well. So, for what you need to know about this chapter is that it is probably going to be short, but the good news is that this chapter is the last about Harry's past, other than a few flashbacks. Another thing you should know is that this will be a grey Harry fic, and be sure to read the end of the chapter, I have something that is essential to the story that I need your help on. So without further delays, here is the next chapter!

Chapter 1(Part 2): In the years that followed II

St Mary's Orphanage

August 10th, 1982

Harry sat in his short room in the orphanage alone, due to complaints about him from other roommates in the past year. When Harry had his first roommate, a boy named Mitchell, He didn't seem too fond of him. When Mitchell and his crew started picking on Harry because he was new, Mitchell was found in the morning at the bottom of the stairs with three broken ribs and a broken leg. Once Mitchell was questioned about his fall, he just stayed quiet. Though no proof could be found, everyone, even the matron knew that Harry did it. With Harry's other roommates, they found themselves at similar situations. It took seven incidents for the matron decided that is was enough, and let Harry have his own room.

Harry saw a dark blue car heading to the drive way. "Well, looks like someone's getting a family." Harry thought sadly. All he wanted was a family, though after almost a year, he thinks he should just give up that hopeless dream. He manages to shake himself from his thoughts and turns his attention to the opening and closing of car doors.

No One's POV

A handsome black haired man stepped out of the driver's seat of the car, then walked to the other side to open the door for a beautiful black haired women. They both walked to the front door of the orphanage, and before they could knock, a young women opened the door. "Ah, you must be Mr. and Mrs. Thornblake?" She asked. The pair nodded before the Mr. Thornblake spoke "Yes, we're to discuss with the matron about the possibility for adoption." He said in a clear confidant voice. The young women nodded in understanding and led the couple to the matron's office. Once they reached the office, the young woman knocked on the door, they waited several seconds before the door opened and a woman in her mid-forties was in the door's place. She looked the young woman first and then looked to the couple, then back to the young woman and said "Thank you Sarah, go and sound the bell for the children to play outside." The young woman, now known as Sarah, nodded before doing what she was told to do. The matron beckoned the man and woman into her office.

Now in her office the matron offers her hand in greeting and speaks "We haven't properly introduced ourselves, my name is Miss Moonhunt." The man shook her hand and introduced himself. "Jacob Thornblake, and this is my wife Eva." Jacob says as his wife shakes her hand. "A pleasure to meet you." Eva says in greeting. Once Miss Moonhunt shakes their hands, she offers them a seat and some tea. They accepted as she fetches the tea, as soon as they finished, Miss Moonhunt set down a book of records on the table of her desk. "So, why don't we first start with what your qualities you would like your new child to have, hmm?" They nodded and then the matron asked if there were any specific age they would like the child to be. "We would like to have a baby, my husband and I have tried, but with no such luck." Eva replies with a sad, but hopeful look. Miss Moonhunt nods with understanding and when she was about to reply back, she was cut by a loud bang coming outside.

Harry's POV

"I watched the man and woman walk toward the front door, I didn't know why but they seemed strange in a way I couldn't describe. I thought about them until I heard the bell for mandatory outside time. I didn't going outside much of the time, mostly because it gives other kids a chance to bother me, you'd think they'd leave me alone after Mitchell and the other boys. It wasn't a long walk to get from my room to the outside area, once there I just went to a secluded corner to mind my own business. Of course that just couldn't happen, a new boy whose name escapes me, decided that he wanted to look big in front of the other kids and pick on me. I just shut him out when he started to insult me, but when he pushed me to the ground and kicked my ribs, I was beginning to see red."

Moonhunt's POV

"I was just about to reply to Eva Thornblake about the baby orphans that we have, but loud bang came from the playing area where the kids play, I quickly walk outside my office and waste no time running outside, barley noticing that Jacob and Eva Thornblake were following right on my heels. I make it to the area just in time to see that devil child, otherwise known as Harry, pick up the new boy Matthew in the air, with one raised hand. It looked like the boy was choking, when I looked at that devil child, he looked pure evil, his green eyes glowing even more green and little green and white lightning bolts flickering through his body. I felt sick when I looked around the play area and saw small children and Sarah unconscious with bruises on their skin. I screamed and grabbed a shovel to beat that…that devil child to death. But as I was going to end this freak's life, a beam of red light hit my hand and the shovel went flying, I turn around and see Jacob Thornblake holding what looked like a stick and Eva pulling out a slightly different stick, but she pointed it at me and all I see is a red light."

Jacob's POV

"I saw as my wife stunned the woman as I walk cautiously to the green-eyed boy practically flowing with magic. I have been a wizard all my life, but I don't think I've seen this kind of magic before. The boy that was up in the air was still choking, as I think fast only one thing comes to mind of how I should stop this boy before anyone will get seriously hurt. I wrap my arms around the boy in an embrace, ignoring the small lightning bolts. It seems to work as I feel the boy starting to calm down. I feel another pair of arms around the boy and myself. I look up to see my Eva, the woman I've loved since I was thirteen."

Eva's POV

After I stunned that horrid woman, I looked to my husband, he knelt down to the boy's height and hugged him. I was surprised since we had no idea who the boy is, but I caught on what he was trying to do. Without a second thought, I went to join my husband in embracing this powerful boy. Our efforts seem to work because the boy eventually started to calm down, the lightning around his body stopped and his glowed eyes dimmed back to their natural shade color. The boy in the air, unconscious due to being choked, landed on the ground with a thud. I see the boy in our arms about to faint, but before he does, "What is your name dear boy?" I asked nicely, he replied with a hoarse voice "Harry Potter. "Jacob and I exchanged a look and got to work immediately. Something about that name seemed familiar, but I couldn't focus because of the events that have taken place. I picked up Harry and carried him inside the orphanage, to find his records, while my husband obliviates the children and two adults. I take Harry to the matron's office and set him down on the chair gently, I spot the book from the corner of my eye and grab it. Once I flip the pages and find Harry's file, I only find a letter. I quickly read it and felt sympathy for Harry. Jacob calls me and I snap out of my stupor, I put the letter in my coat pocket and pick up Harry to meet my husband at the car. I placed Harry on my lap in the passenger seat as Jacob starts the car so we can go home."

Harry's POV

"My head hurts as I open my eyes to find an old man and the familiar man and woman standing in front me." "Who are you, what's going on" I asked, afraid that I had been kidnapped, though it would have been an upside from where I was formally staying."

No one's POV

Jacob and Eva took a long drive to the Leaking cauldron in London to access the floo network to get to Jacob's childhood home in Australia. Once there Jacob called for his father. "Father! Father are you there!" Jacob called out. "Calm down boy, I'm right here." A gruff voice said, an old man walked down the stairs to the living room where his son flooed from the fireplace. Silas Thornblake sees his son and daughter in law and a small child he has never seen before. Silas raises and eyebrow at his son after he looked at Harry. "Is there something you want to tell me Jacob?" He asked. Jacob quickly relied the events that unfolded at the orphanage, Silas looked back and forth to his son and Harry in astonishment. He knelt down beside Harry and used his special ability to see magical auras, what he saw was raw power. Silas turned to his family, when he was about to tell what he discovered, they heard Harry groan.

FLASHBACK END

Harry's POV

Thornblake ship

En route to Thornblake Academy

"I wake up in the hammock once I felt someone shaking me, one of the first year boys that slept in the hammock next to me told me that we're approaching the academy. I nod my head in understanding, he asked for my name. "Harrison Thornblake." I could tell he was shocked when I told him. "But, how is it your last name is the name of the school?" He asked. "My grandfather is the headmaster of the school, and the ownership of the academy passes down from generations." I replied. He nodded and introduced himself as Tyler Parker. When we finished introducing ourselves we changed unto our school robes, which consisted of dark blue robes with gold trim and white shirts with dark blue vests and a black tie and the letter T pattern on the left side of the vest. We started to talk about what houses we would like to go to. From what my grandfather and father told me is that there were four houses. Pegasus, Knezel, Dire Wolf, and Thestral. "I would like to go to Knezel house." Tyler said, he then asked about the house I would prefer. "I don't know, my family keeps telling me that I'm fit for all houses, so it could go either way." I said truthfully, not really knowing what house I would fit into.

No one's POV

The Thornblake ship is landing on the dock of a small island near the academy. An older student led the first years back upstairs to the top deck. They were then told to wait after the older years left on the carriages through the small town to the academy. Once the older students left, the captain of the ship told them to get into the longboats. Harry had heard about this kind of travel for first years from Hogwarts, but I never thought Thornblake had this tradition. Harry and the first years got into the longboats and the captain yelled "ONWARD!" The boats instantly started to move around the small island to the academy. When they got to the other side of the island, Harry could see the magnificence of the castle. The academy on a gigantic island, much bigger than the small island with a bridge connecting them. He saw the carriages that were carrying students crossing the bridge to the academy. Finally, Harry could see the castle surrounded by four buildings with seven stories, he could only assume that they were the dorm buildings. The longboats stopped at the school boathouse, once there Harry and the first years are met with a welcoming looking man with a big belly, probably in his sixties. "Welcome to Thornblake, my name is Professor Blinks, now if you'll step out and follow me, I would greatly appreciate it." The first years step out the boats and follow the jolly professor up the stairs to the main courtyard. The group makes it to the door of the great hall before Professor Blinks tells the first years to wait a moment to inform them what to do when they are sorted. "Now, when I call your names, you'll come up to me to receive a clear gem ring, when your gem changes into the house colors which for Pegasus house is white & gold, Knezel house is sky blue & white, Dire Wolf house color is black & Maroon red, and finally Thestral house color is Black & Forest green." Harry and the first years nod in understanding. Before they all walk in, Harry notices a little blonde girl looking scared beside him, he tried not to relish it as he was walking to the end of the hall. The hall itself was amazing, windows on the walls and a window ceiling that show the stars. The first years made it to the end of the hall where Professor Blinks stood. Blinks called out names, Tyler got his ring and when it turned Marron red, he went to Dire Wolf, Blinks called out names again until he made it to Harry's name, as Harry steps up, he gets a little nervous, that changed when he sees his dad and Grandfather at the high table looking at him with proud expressions on their faces. He now knows that it doesn't matter what house he was going to, he was going to be a powerful wizard.

A/N: Hey guys, another chapter done, this chapter was longer that I expected, YAY! Now down to business, remember when I said that I need your help for something essential for the next chapter, well this is it, I need help with putting Harry in a house. So this chapter was to help figure out what Harry's personality, yes you didn't get much of it, but you got a sense of it. Another way to help would be to tell the qualification of each house.

Pegasus House: For the ones who have a free spirt and the potential to go to the great distance.

Kneazle House: For those who have a cautious mind and the potential for ready mind.

Dire Wolf House: For those who have the sense of unity and standing with those who are alone.

Thestral House: For those who have the potential to be great after a terrible experience in life.

So, which do you the readers think? And I'll tell which house Harry is in the next chapter, also this will be last chapter about Harry's past, other than a few flashbacks in future chapters. Oh! And before I forget, with your answer about where Harry should go, I also want to see who you think the blonde girl is. Okay bye, and next chapter will most likely be Wednesday.
