Chapter 6- What the Sort is this?
Harry looked at the wall with a wary eye. He had not wanted to do this but he had to till The new Headmaster found a way to break the contract with out hurting Harry. Luck was on his side as the Ministry was doing all it could to save face after Dumbledore was convicted of attempted Line theft. Also the fact of Sirius Black being innocent and the proof was sealed.
Also good was that Metra was his Fiancee and could go with him with out issue. Since the Tri-Embassy (as they referred to their ship) was located at Hogwarts field for now the Teachers did not mind. No one dared to argue with the girl that put Dumbledore on the ground in less that a second.
Back to the wall... Harry and Metra sighed as they walked up to it. The plan was simple they would step through, go full suit, then morph ball to this 'train' thing they scanned yesterday. Find a nice place to enjoy the ride and avoid any idiots. They both laughed at the last part. He had his mothers luck with idiots trying to puff up at him.
"Well we got on and no one was the wiser so lets get ready for the trip." They dropped the armor and settled into a seat with Metra leaned against Harry as they studied the read out on their eye visors.
The luck hit as a red headed boy opened the door. "Can I sit with you, all the others are full?"
Metra gave a hand sign and Harry looked around the train car with the Infrared and x-ray scanner.
"No. You may not. We don't like being lied to and you have been in contact with the old goat. Please do not bother us again. He is in the wrong and will use you to continue his plans since he is no longer Headmaster. Or any other title he flaunted to us."
The boy looked shocked and backed out as Metra's now blue eyes started to arc energy. She loved how her emotions effected her eyes and suit.
Later a girl came in. She was going to ask about some thing then smiled as she saw a toad calmly sitting on the girls lap. "Hello, a boy in the train lost a toad. Is that one yours?"
The boy replied instead of the girl. "Nope it came in here when the red head did. It did not like being held so tightly. Please pass that on to its owner." The girl smiled and carefully handed over the toad.
The last one to open the door was some blond idiot that acted as if he was superior. Harry grinned at him. "So, you say your a Malfoy and your father is a 'friend' of the minister, hes a member of the Wizengamot, and hes wealthy. But what about you?"
"Excuse me?" The blond who called himself Draco looked confused. Metra Laughed her trilling voice. As Harry shook his head. " I ask what makes you so great. Are you a 'friend' of the Minister? Are you wealthy with out using your fathers money, are you a Member of this Wizengamot?"
"I'm not old enough to take my fathers seats and he has to assign them to me. And no I'm not a friend of that ignorant fool of a minister." The sudden look of confusion at his reply made the whole conversation worth it. Harry smiled as the boy seem to space out. "Would you two gentlemen take him back to his seats and let him rest, I think his mind is trying to find the obvious flaw to his introduction."
The rest was fine save for many looking in at the two oddly dressed kids in last car.
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
As the first years gathered around the giant man they looked at the two that were not in robes. "Aren't you cold?" asked a random girl.
"No these skin suits regulate the temperature for us. It is a bit low but not a bother."
Hagrid grinned at them. "Aran and Metra, good to see you again. Come along, four to a boat."
They looked at the two that sat with them. And Metra was looking into the water. One of them looked nervous but held a stoic face. "Is it true? Did you put Malfoy in his place with just words?"
"I simply asked what made him so great if he could only claim what his father has. I also asked his fellows to take him back to his seat. We hate politics and we hate those who claim others fame and deeds. Metra here has more claim to fame by being herself than that boy could ever imagine."
At that time the black haired girl reached over the side and trilled. Seconds later a tentacle rose up and let her slide her hand along it. "See what I mean. She befriends or intimidates any creature smart enough to see the danger. I Believe this Malfoy and his father is not smart enough."
"And why is that?"
"Malfoy the elder was frozen in ice then thawed by lava from one of Metra's protectors. All during a trial at the Wizengamot. And in front of reporters. The lesser Malfoy was seen by all of you being...defeated... by logical questions about his arrogant introduction. I feel they both will not learn their foolishness." (Trilling from Metra.) "Hmm? Oh yes we can go visit the Merfolk later this week we do need to see about getting scans and learning from them."
The blond girl seemed confused with the sounds from the one called Metra. But she saw the look in her ..red...eyes..? She decided to not worry about it.
"Apologies. I am Daphne Greengrass, This is Tracy Davis. We hope to talk more with both of you at another time." "I'm sure we would be delighted to talk with intelligent persons such as your self. Until we speak again."
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Mcgonagall looked around the crowd with a frown as she saw the two. " Mr. Aran, Mrs. Prime. Why are you not in your robes?"
"Ambassadorial Uniforms Ma'am. We are required to wear them and not to wear any other clothing that could be seen as alignment with another. Please remember this." his tone was friendly but the delivery left no room for doubt.
"Fine come along, single file." They were lead into the Great hall and awaited the singing hat to finish. The woman called out their names. Metra signaled to him as they started the Bs with out calling him. His signaled back he would deal with it.
Sure enough he grinned as he heard 'Potter-Aran, Harry'. He let the voices whisper around as he stood his ground. "Mr. Aran please come up."
"No." "Excuse me, your name is called and we need to sort you into your house."
"I was not called, Potter-Aran was called. I am Harry Aran. So I was not called. Also I do believe I had stated that we are not to be allied with any other faction during our time here. Unless you have a Chozo house or a Metroid house then I cannot be..sorted. Let it be known I have a full education as well as employment. I have access to your..spells.. so that is no issue. I use no wand as that is not needed. And finally I am here due to the Manipulations of the old goat. Albus Dumbledore. Please tell me you arranged private quarters for Metra and myself."
The Headmistress sighed. And looked over the facts. "I see your point. The inter house rivalries do need to end and putting you in any of them will cause tensions. You do need to sit somewhere for the feast."
"We shall sit by the two who converse civilly with us today. And choose a different table each day. Including the teachers table as some of them may be interested in our knowledge."
After all were sorted, they approached Tracy and Daphne. That shocked even Malfoy. "Why are you sitting with us Potter?" Tracey and Daphne looked at him in confusion. Harry clearly stated his name and had told everyone who he would sit by. As well as his comment about some people to stupid to sense the dangers of the girl and boy.
" Malfoy...are you deaf? Are you damaged in the head? That was only five minutes ago that I spoke of this. Could one of you more intelligent ones please advise this poor soul as to his defects in learning to listen to others talking." Harry had just fully rallied the entire house of Slitherin to him by showing his skills in addressing an issue and showing that the one at fault did not taint the rest. Two very large upper years sat beside Malfoy after forcing his minions to move over and whispered harshly at him.
The speech went as normal as most years save for the new DADA teacher and that the forest was being cleaned up so more classes could use it as was originally planned. Until stated otherwise, it was still forbidden with out escort. (Samus asked to do t as she was bored most of the time.)
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
After being lead to their private suite, Harry and Metra settled down to review all they had learned from the two girls and some of the others. (the polite ones). Metra was not happy with the DADA teacher. She said he felt like that dark energy leech Harry had as a baby.
He told her to wait and see how it plays out. They headed down to the Great Hall to pick a table. They chose the yellow table, Hufflepuff. After a few greetings and some questions about what happened with Draco, the meal went well. A teacher handed them a schedule that made sure all classes were shared by all houses. This had been done to improve House relations. The Gryffindores were still negative to the Slytherins but this would take time.
Noted as the most vocal, was the red head boy that lied and the blond brat that refused to learn. In fact he kept looking smug during breakfast. The reason soon arrived.
Luscious Malfoy stormed into the Hall glaring around the Tables till he saw the two 'sore thumbs' as he thought of how they stood out. He was nearly seething as he approached. "Mr. Potter, Why is it you have singled out my House in your action upon reentering the Wizarding world?"
Harry signaled Metra who aimed her arm gauntlet at the wall, then proceeded to show Malfoy Sr. openly attacking Harry before being frozen and thawed. The next scene was Jr.'s introduction and failure to realize his wording. Finally the scene of Harry stating his name as well as his intentions on the seating issue. Followed by Jr. opening his mouth before thinking.
"A. R. A. N. Aran, that is my name. You come here to accuse with no proof of a crime yet as all have seen, I do have proof of who started what and how it was handled. I know little of your Politics but I do know in my circles one does not act so rashly with out proof. Especially against an Aran."
That made it even worse as the man growled out. "As head of the House of Malfoy I hereby challenge you to a Wizarding duel. Outside right now. My son shall be my second."
Harry grinned. "Who do you challenge. Harry Aran-the Ambassador of the Chozo, Harry Aran -Bounty hunter, Federation ID HA-01, Harry Aran- newly entered into the Wizarding world and possibly ignorant of your challenge therefore bound to make a grievous error?"
The room was silent as The man stared at the horror he just created. His anger and attempt to embarrass the boy had backfired. And by stating his own title, the Boy had clearly stated his and showed that he outranked Malfoy and out played him.
"Fine you will be given one week to learn the rules and proper form and then we shall duel at noon." The smug look on his face was not solid as he saw the boys grin. "If you truly wish then so be it. As you chose the time and place, I choose the style. Any legal weapons per our own governments and my second will be Metra. I shall contact Madam Bones to officiate and Samus Aran will inform of legal to use abilities for our part. Non-Leathal combat only, one week from today at noon here on Hogwarts Grounds."
The man stormed off to the applause of the room. One of the Puff's looked confused. "I think I missed some thing, If you just started in the Wizarding world, how did you know about the rules of a challenge?"
"Goblins are willing to teach anything for a price, as long as its not against the law. So a couple days of learning and I had that down, I only stated that his plan was to expect me to be ignorant of the rules. I never claimed that I was."
Draco stormed out but was flanked by upper year Slytherins and escorted to an unused room before he could get very far. The teachers excused them selves to go laugh at the event. As they started classes Harry looked at Metra with worry. She trilled and laid her head on his arm. The Charms class was odd as the tiny professor kept falling. Metra walked up and staked the books by size and shape. She returned to her seat and laid her head on Harry again.
"Thank you Ms. Prime. Now lets see about a simple spell most should know. The Lumos. Yes Mr p-Aran?"
"Is it not true that unless the students not of magical families are here at the school it is impossible for them to practice the spells. So how is this a well known spell?"
Flitwick sighed and then grinned. "After all these years someone finally said it. Thank you Mr. Aran for that. They cannot do magic out side of the Magical community and Magical homes are exempt from the monitoring laws. So yes the muggle born do have a disadvantage. By chance do you know this spell?"
"LUMINOTH!" The large ball of pure white light was held in his hand. 'ING!' the ball disappeared. "We learned by using the energies of the Luminoth and the Ing to duplicate the spell. Also, 'ING!'." A ball of pure black energy was in his hand this time. "LUMINOTH! The reverse is true. Vocalization makes you dependent so getting the feel of the ability over the simple wording is also important." Both Metra and Harry repeated the Light ball silently.
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Minerva was warned to expect the unexpected from the pair but their use of wandless and silent casting was getting to her. Even the way they did things without trying. "How long have you been able to use this skill?"
"Since four I believe after the leech was fully removed. Mostly use it to alter the shielding frames on the S. P.s Great and mighty Bounty hunter but horrible cook."
The next class was not ready for the event but Metra was warned to record everything in the class to aid in a review. Potions was a new thing to them and it was like cooking instructions so they figured it would be just challenging enough. The Professor had other Ideas. His introduction speech clearly stated his feelings of teaching.
"Mr. Potter, our latest celebrity..."
"Wait, There was a Potter at the sorting. I am so sorry Mr. Potter where ever you are. I did not mean to insult your sorting. Professor could you point out this person you speak of Because he clearly was not seen at the Sorting." The sneering man was holding his anger but it was trying.
"20 Points for cheek Mr. Potter..."
"Denied. One its Aran not Potter , two you have stated your dislike of being here quite clearly, and finally you tried to take points but There is not a point system in place. The House Cup was removed as an accelerant to the House rivalries. Do you see why I can deny your actions."
"The man looked at the boy and sneered again. "Remove your eye covering."
"No. you have been recorded as attempting Ligimens by my optic visor and by Metra's. You asked me to remove it once you realized you were blocked. We will be heading out now to inform the Headmistress."
As he turned away a bright red bolt flew at his back. Metra had seen it from Snape's wand to Harry's back. As it hit everyone saw a green suit of armor. Before any could react Harry turned and purple ball flew out and hit Snape. The man tensed up and started to have tremors before he collapsed. Harry picked him up over his shoulder and headed out. "Try looking into these titles to help with the basics of brewing that he was not going to teach." Metra wrote them on the board as they were leaving.
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
The whole school was in an uproar as Harry Aran had put Snape down. With facts and a silent spell that looked painful. The Headmistress was watching the replay of the whole class from entrance to spells. The fact this was her second screening and Director Bones and two aurors were also seeing it, did little to help Snape's cause.
"Mr. Aran, what was that about Ligimens and what did you hit him with?" Bones needed to be sure this would all be covered when she hauled the Man in to court.
"My visor detects and records all Neural probes and attacks. The Ligimens is energy from the eyes into someone elses eyes with the intent to invade. The fact his wand was also recorded as channeling energy made this an active attack not passive. As for the disabling spell. It was simply electro-pulsic energy from my arm cannon or as we call it wave beam. He did attack a Foreign ambassador in the back after being told the class was being recorded. So I simply defended myself by overloading his nerves with electricity. I am allowed to kill to defend but I played by your rules this time."
Minerva smiled. "I hereby remove Snape's contract on the grounds of using Ligimens on a student at least once. On the grounds of attacking a student, also verbal statements to the character of students their first day of class. And finally for statements that clearly violate the Teachers contract. I'll have the elves clean out your quarters and send them to your personal vaults at Gringotts."
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
