Chapter six:
Meanwhile in another part of the castle a depressed Lily and angry James were getting ready to go to bed
"Lily there is nothing to do the boy has obviously chosen his path" James said getting into bed beside his wife
"but what if we can bring him back James" Lily said still red eyed
" well I'm not going to try" James said bluntly before placing his head on his pillow and closing his eyes
Lily didn't sleep a second that night
Next morning with Harry:
Harry awoke in a green coloured bed in a small room expecting breakfast to be there he was disappointed when he remembered where he was and would have to get breakfast for himself. Getting dressed in the small bedroom of the chamber of secrets he then made his way to the main chamber where he found that the basilisk was still sleeping inside the statue
'no point for it to be out when not called' Harry thought
Making his way out of the chamber Harry then realised that he would be in the girls toilets
'well the girls won't be able to see me when I'm invisible' Harry thought fighting the perverted smile that tried to show on his face
Successfully exiting the toilets unseen, Harry tried to remember where the hall was but failed. Luckily a group of the Durmstrang students were having the same problem so he followed them till they found the hall. Harry had to admit the sight was impressive coming from a secluded life he had since practically birth to a hall full of students talking and eating all colour coordinated was fun to see. Then Dumbledore saw him and stood from his chair making the hall go silent
"boys and girls we are in for a treat a new transfer student had decided to join Hogwarts and is no other than Mr Harrison Peverell from last night"
'decided? Ye right Harry thought
Then the teacher with the green robes stood and moved to the front of the hall and placed a small stool and was holding a floppy old hat
'oh how unexpected' Harry thought walking towards the stool. Once there he sat on the stool meant for 11 year olds and felt stupid, then came the hat but to Harry's surprise no voice either inside or outside his head
'I know you're there hat' Harry thought
'yes well if it had not been for your previous tutoring I think I did a good job' a croaky voice sounded mentally 'oh don't worry I have to...'
'ye ye you have to keep all the students secrets can we get on?'
'Gryff...'
'not funny hat!' Harry said sounding more like a mental snarl
"SLYTHERIN" the hat called out loud this time
The green table clapped politely as Harry went to sit down at the end of the table giving him space from the others. Eating his breakfast quickly Harry was thinking of running and just aperating back here just to compete till a man in black robes and who had pale skin approached him
"look I'm sorry for calling you a vampire" Harry said
"Mr Peverell as your head of house it falls to me to give you your timetable" the angered professor said handing him a long piece of paper and then left
Harry looked at the timetable today he would have every lesson Hogwarts provided
'strange how did they do this they didn't even ask me what I wanted for electives, shame on them'
Harry said to himself but also thinking it would be a good way of proving he was above these lessons. While contemplating how to approach the professors in each class and brown haired girl scooted closer to him on the bench
"Hi I'm Tracy do you have any questions about your timetable?" she asked in a very chipper and excited way
"no thank you" Harry said trying to get rid of the girl
"well if you want to hang out with anyone you can always come to me and my best friend over there, she's call Daphne a typical blonde" Tracy said getting closer to Harry
"and what would be typical of a blonde?" a voice came from behind Tracy who was facing Harry
"uh...shiny hair?" Tracy tried turning to a blonde girl looking at her closely
Sighing the blonde girl turned to Harry
"sorry about her she's just..." she started
"just putting on a personality along with you to try and gauge what type of person I am, I think the muggles call it 'good cop, bad cop'" Harry finished for her making the girl take on a shocked look
"you don't just get into Slytherin acting like a Hufflepuff now do we?" Harry asked looking at both the girls
"oohhh he found us out Daphne how clever" Tracy said still smiling
"now if you'll excuse me I have Transfiguration in five minutes" Harry said standing
"we're in the same house dummy we have it too and I think we'll join you" Tracy said also getting up
Harry sighed 'this is going to be a long day'
On the way to the class the girls asked him about his life and where he came from. Harry just told them that he was raised by his aunt who had tutored him. Then Daphne asked why he had appeared when Harry Potter's name came out the goblet. In response Harry shrugged and said 'I don't know why I was called by a dead person's name'.
In the class itself Harry found that the green robed Professor taught it and from her examples at the start of the lessons she was good at it. Then Harry asked
"Professor the headmaster said if I could prove I have nothing to learn from lessons I could leave and I was wondering what I would have to do to prove that?"
This made the Professor double take
"well by the end of Hogwarts transfiguration a high level student could change an object into a living creature and some would be able to do it with an already live creature and change its species" the Professor answered
Harry then took out his wand and proceeded to summon a rat then turn it into a snake then banish it very fast and silently, this made the Professor's eyes nearly pop out of her head and then took out a piece of parchment and signed it
"the headmaster also said to sign this to show our approval" she said handing the parchment over to Harry who then took it and walked out the room leaving behind a class of speechless students behind him
The next was charms in which Harry had to put up a shield and muggle repelling charms which had actually made the little Professor teaching it jump with joy. After that was Herbology which Harry only had to answer a bunch of NEWT level questions, this was also the case with Care of magical creature, History of magic and astronomy. In defence against the dark arts which was taught by Potter senior who laughed at his question and said if he could beat him in a duel then he would sign, Harry then left the class leaving behind an upside down levitating Professor with his trousers round his ankles and some very happy Slytherins. In runes he created a runic circle that created a portal much like the one that had brought him there in the first place.
Finally came potions
'don't have to guess who teaches this' Harry thought while waiting at his desk
Then the door opened and the vampire who wasn't a vampire strode in his cloak billowing behind him
'I bet he charmed them to do that' Harry laughed internally
Then it came time for Harry to ask the question which the students themselves were eager to see what would happen due to previous performances
"ah yes Dumbledore sis tell me about your little bet and I have put together a list of questions for you to answer and if you get one incorrect I won't sign" the Professor said almost happily, almost.
"shoot" Harry said
"what potion is used to prevent the transformation of werewolves?"
"Wolfsbane"
"how long does it take to brew that potion?"
"a month"
"the use of a bezoar"
"to cure poisons except for Basilisk or Nudu venom"
"the difference between asphodel and wormwood?"
"nothing there both the same commonly used for the brewing of a draught of living death"
Harry could see the panic in the Professor's eyes and how he wasn't looking at the paper which he had written the questions on
"alright Mr Peverell if you can answer this you can go, what are the ingredients needed for the potion of resurrection ?"
In most cases no even most teachers could answer this but this is Harry
"well what you're referring to is the resurrection ritual but for the liquid needed for it that would be bone of the father, flesh of the servant and blood of a foe" Harry finished with a smile this was dark stuff and the Professor knew that
The Professor in question was paler than usual and had a startled look in his eyes but signed.
"Mr Peverell the headmaster also said after you get all the signatures you must come to his office at the end of the day"
'of course he did' Harry thought on his way out of the classroom
Harry spent the rest of the day exploring the grounds and was very impressed by what he found his personal favourites being the forbidden forest and the newer looking coliseum made of stone. When he saw students flooding out of the classrooms he made his way to the headmasters office where he found most of the staff there who mostly smiled at him, a lot of them liking this new student who was so knowledgeable
"ah Harry I do believe a congratulations are in order and I hope you do forgive me for this challenge I just wanted to make sure you got a full education" Dumbledore said from his desk
"well I mean even if I did fail this test I would still be allowed to be excused from lessons, as a triwizard champion I'm allowed this time to train" Harry said back telling the old man he was on to his tricks "it's almost like you want to try and see what level of threat I pose"
The headmaster coughed "teachers thank you and our next meeting will be next Monday"
The Professors then left until only Harry, Dumbledore, James and Lily remained
"Déjà-vu" Harry said amused
Dumbledore then looked at the paper
"I don't see Professor Potters signature here" he said
"a mistake I'm sure or would Professor Potter like a repeat performance?" Harry asked back a look shot at Potter
"I'm sure now on to what you will be doing from now on" Dumbledore said eyes twinkling
"well I'm not sure that's any of your business" Harry stated
"as your headmaster it falls to me to assure your safety while at Hogwarts" Dumbledore smiled as if he had expected the question
"until I pass my NEWTs which I have sent to the ministry for evaluation" Harry smiled back
"when did you have time for that?" asked a puzzled headmaster
"yesterday after you made the challenge I stol...uh procured some NEWT papers for every subject even the electives and finished them" Harry answered "but until I get a reply I guess you're right, I'll be spending my time in the chamber oh and you're welcome for the basilisk it's safe now and I will be going to Germany to see Gregorovitch I need to get a proper wand for the wand weighing next week"
"ah Gregorovitch a very skilled crafter but as to your accommodation the Potters are willing to host you at their manor" Dumbledore said
"you mean the Potter's or Mrs Potter?" Harry asked looking at the two "look if it makes you feel any closure I don't hate you I did when I was younger but after realising I wouldn't be as powerful as I am if I stayed I became at peace but your son is dead I cannot make that any clearer and I ask you to not go chasing ghosts" Harry said more to Lily than James
A weight seemed to lift off of Lily's shoulders and she looked at Harry without that sad longing look she had used before
"I just thought you would want to meet our daughter you didn't have the chance in the past" she said more confidently
Harry was a little shocked and a little proud at that moment. Shocked that they had another child and a little proud that the woman had overcome herself
"I would be happy to meet your daughter Mrs Potter" 'to make sure she isn't neglected either' he thought
"great how about five o'clock tonight?" she asked
"sure I think I remember the way" Harry said sarcastically as he got up to leave "oh and this doesn't mean I'll be staying there it's just a visit"
Lily smiled a little as he left but before he did he came back in
"where is your lap dog?" he asked James
"the mutt cut ties with us after you left seemed to think it was our fault" he said still way to full of himself
Then Harry left thinking why Black had done that he had next to no contact with him in the first place
'why?' Harry thought
End chapter 6.
Next Harry goes to get his wand and meet the new edition of the Potter family.
