The Elemental Order

by magieve

10 year old Harry Potter has been the victim his entire life. Haunted by his family and his dreams he learns of his true power and decides to no longer be the victim any more and instead become the best version of himself that he can be. The problem however is that he really couldn't care less about the rest of the world. Will he lead a new generation or rule a world of ash?

4. Chapter 4

Chapter 4 – Settling In

Dumbledore rose early the day after the sorting pondering what had happened. He didn't believe that all Slytherin's were dark wizards but he did find that they were very self-serving and rarely helped out there fellow wizard. That Harry was a Slytherin showed that he was selfish which wasn't necessarily a bad thing but he was definitely not what Dumbledore expected him to be. The boy had now become a bit of a wild card in the grand scheme of things which was never good as Dumbledore hated surprises and preferred to be in control. He had accepted that about himself and also that he had an ego but the death of his sister and Grindlewald had quelled it though he refused to become Minister for Magic out of fear that he would once again hunger for power. McGonagall's warning about Harry was also on his mind. The boy wasn't apparently cruel but seemed to use cruelty as a weapon and seemed to already be a master with head games which was worrying as well as it suggested that there was a darker aspect to him though thankfully he seemed to use cruelty rather than revel in it. He highly doubted that Harry would become another Voldemort but they were similar and he predicted that Harry would be on his own side rather than anyone else's. Dumbledore prayed though that Harry would do the right thing when the time came and vanquish Voldemort.

The start of every new year occurred on the first Saturday of September so as to give the first years a day to adjust themselves to the castle. He spent the day meeting up with Daphne, Tracey and Blaise and they explored the castle and got to know one another. Like him Tracey was a half-blood but Blaise and Daphne were Purebloods and the group also explained the importance of blood status to Harry. He learned more about his family than ever in that one day. Harry found that the Potter family was a very old one, much older than the Malfoy family but where never really at the forefront of the wizarding world and that Harry may already be the most famous Potter there had been. Tracey was already a bit of a historian and loved reading about the history of British Magical family's. Before she could tell him about the Potter family they ran into Sera and Hermione.

"Hey there Harry," Sera said when she noticed that Harry wasn't alone and smirked "Oh my god does prince git have new friends I don't know whether to be proud of you or worried for them,"

"Very funny there tiny," Harry said firing back. He was actually fine with Sera calling him a git for some reason.

"I am not tiny," Sera said. The problem was that she was quite small and would probably always be a little on the small size

"You kind of are," Harry said "Tiny"

"Git,"
"Tiny"

"GIT"

"TINY" Harry was rather enjoying this game now

"Honestly Sera don't rise to him," Hermione said

"She's right, after all I don't think that it's physically possible," Harry said "On account of how tiny you are."

"What's going on," A voice said and Ron with two other Griffindor's came around the corner "Potter."

"Weasel," Harry said his voice shifting to a more neutral tone.

"You already lording yourself over two muggleborns aren't you," Ron declared "See dark wizard in training."

"Why does it matter if there muggleborn Weasel?" Harry asked

"It's Weasley and it matters because you are a bigot like the every Slytherin," Ron declared

"So you respond to supposed bigotry by being a bigot, nice hypocrisy, I'm really glad the hat put me in Slytherin now at least I won't have to put up with you all the time," Harry said "You have my condolence Sera for your future suffering."

"What is going on here," A smooth voice said Snape appeared behind Harry.

"You see sir I was having a nice conversation with Sera here when Weasley called me a bigot simply for being a Slytherin," Harry explained calmly.

"Is this the truth?" Snape asked everyone

"Well sir it was like Harry and Sera were trading insults at each other when Ron interrupted," Hermione explained

"I believe the term for it is banter Granger," Harry replied rolling his eyes

"I agree with Harry," Sera piped in

"Hmm very well then you two in the future please act more civilised and as for you Weasley that will be ten points from Griffindor for picking a fight, this is not a place for you to yell out your bigoted beliefs," Snape declared.

Ron looked angry as he and the other two Griffidor boys left in a huff and Harry felt a little smug. Oh he knew Snape only did what he did cause he was a Slytherin but still it always felt great to win over a bully which Harry felt Ron was. He was loud and seemed not to care for other people but while harry didn't care to protect himself Ron just seemed too stupid to notice when he was offending someone and always thought that he was right.

"Great now he's gonna bitch about this to Griffindor and chuck us under the bus," Sera said

"Language Sera," Hermione said out of reflex

"Whatever see you around Harry," Sera said as she and Hermione ran off.

"Okay what was that?" Blaise asked

"What?" Harry asked

"With the Griffindor, are you friends with her?" Blaise responded

"Hmm I don't know, right now it seems like more of a rivalry than friendship," Harry said

"You're a weird guy you know that Harry?" Daphne said chuckling

"Oh good I was afraid of being normal" Harry responded

"What's wrong with normal?" Tracey said

"It bores me," Harry said "Anyway weren't you going to tell me about my family history?"

"Oh right of course," Tracey said as she began to talk about the Potter family.

The Potter's started off with a man call Linfred of Stinchcombe who was known as the potterer which was shortened to Potter and is credited for making the foundations for many healing remedies known today such as Skele-gro and made quite a bit of gold because of it. The Potter legacy then continued as each one seemed to be unremarkable in the grand scheme of things but were known for there creativity. Two of his descendants had sat on the Wizengamot which Harry learned was the wizard government including his great grandfather Henry Potter who was a strong supporter for muggleborns and even wanted to fight in the first world war alongside muggles. His grandfather Fleamont Potter was supposed to be quite the impressive duellist but is credited with inventing the Sleakeazy hair potion which quadrupled the Potter fortune making them one of the richest families in Britain. Though Harry found that his great uncle Charles Potter seemed to be a mystery as all that was known about him was that he married Dorea Black which was odd cause the Blacks were supposedly the darkest family in Britain with the Potter's being a firmly light family. He found that whilst his descendants were quite impressive they seemed to be unremarkable on purpose and seemed to be rather secretive as if there was a family secret that was passed down. Harry promised himself to look into his family history when he could and the lack of knowledge surrounding his great uncle Charles intrigued him.

The Slytherin group then spent the rest of the day continuing to explore the castle and learn where all the classes were held at whilst discussing there upcoming lessons. Harry seemed intrigued with charms as it seemed to be rather versatile as well as defence against the dark arts though Herbology sounded a bit dull. They were also apparently getting flying classes as well which made him excited at the possibility of flying. The group also spoke to other members of there house and learned that not everyone agreed with the Pureblood doctrine that they were superior cause they were born to magical parents and were more interested in supporting themselves though some did and they sneered at Harry though he kind of understood why after all he was the figurehead of equality next to Dumbledore. Harry also asked the older years what the teachers were like and learned that Snape and McGonagall were very strict though everyone seemed to like Flitwick except the die hard purists cause he was a half-goblin. All to soon for Harry's liking the day ended and he went to sleep eager to begin learning magic.

OoO The Elemental Order OoO

The next day the Slytherin group were eating there breakfast when Snape came by and gave them there lesson schedules.

"Mr Potter here is your schedule please make sure you don't besmirch the house of Slytherin that we all work hard to uphold," Snape said as he walked off.

"Well that was weird," Tracey said

"I get the impression that he doesn't me," Harry said

"Ah thanks for explaining that to us I couldn't tell," Daphne said sarcastically

"Anytime Daphne," Harry responded smiling

"Oh great now we have two sarcastic people to deal with," Blaise moaned about

"Well you can always pal around with Malfoy," Harry suggested

"I have better taste then that Harry," Blaise replied

"Ah yes your Italian heritage at work though thanks for the compliment," Harry said

"It's more like the lesser of two evils at this point," Blaise replied

"Ouch," Harry said and the group laughed at that.

The hall was staring at them all in wonderment. They never saw a happy Slytherin in public and they always looked stone faced and emotionless.

"You know," Sylvia Max a fifth year prefect began to say "You might be the most unique Slytherin we have had in awhile."

"I'm not complaining but how so?" Harry asked

"You don't act like a typical Slytherin is supposed to and seem to be rarther relaxed and uncaring about what people think," Sylvia explained

"That's because I really don't care what people think of me. If they like it that's fine if they don't that's also fine," Harry said

"It's good though it's a breath of fresh air, I think that Slytherin house is a bit too stuffy sometimes and when going through the list of first years I was a bit worried," Sylvia said.

"How come?" Harry asked intrigued

"Well there are a lot of heirs to important family's in your year group alone and most of them are in Slytherin so I feared that your year group would act all entitled and pompous," Sylvia explained

"Ah, well don't worry I'll be there to balance out the pompousness for everyone," Harry declared smiling

"And we all thank you for it," Sylvia said "Now I've got class to go to as do you."

Sylvia left the group as she headed off to class. She was rather tall with black hair that curled to her shoulders and had a black eyes on a soft face. She was definitely attractive to say the least.

"Come on Harry we have to get to class," Daphne said as she got up and waited for Harry to rise and soon enough they headed to their first class of the year which was charms.

"Look there did you see,"

"The one in the middle,"

"Him with the glasses,"

"He's rather cute,"

"Did you see the scar,"

Harry just sighed as they walked up to class and was trying to ignore the staring.

"Having fun Harry?" Daphne asked pleasantly

"Do these people not have anything better to do, like fall off a tower," Harry said sighing

"But what's more important than seeing the Boy-Who-Lived?" Daphne asked sarcastically

"Oh piss off," Harry said and Daphne just laughed at his response as they entered the charms classroom. The Ravenclaw's were already sat down waiting for the lesson to start. Harry guessed they were trying to impress there head of house, he was told to show up prepared for potions so it would make sense for the other houses to be told the same for there respective heads of house. The room was had two tiers of curved desks split in two forming four separate seating area's and the Slytherin's sat behind the Ravenclaw's on the far side of the room with Harry sat between Daphne and Blaise and waited for the class to start. Pretty soon the Griffindor's and Hufflepuff's showed up and the class begun.

Professor Flitwick was a tiny man and his goblin side was clear to see as he stood on a stack of books. He took attendance and when he read Harry's name he fell off of the stack of books in delight before climbing back up to finish taking attendance and began the lesson.

"Welcome to charms class, today we will be starting off with performing a simple colour change charm just to help you all get used to using magic," Flitwick said as he showed them how to do it "Try and turn the parchment in front of you into the same colour as your house now please."

Many in the class began trying to do it but were struggling including Harry who's parchment didn't change at all. Draco was looking smug at the start as if he expected it to be easy but his smile faded which made Harry happy. He quickly stopped trying it blindly and began to think about how to do it. When he tried to use his chaos element he had to focus on what he wanted to happen and picture it in his mind before he could do it physically so he figured that the same must apply to all magic. Strangely his wand vibrated as if telling him that he was on the right track so he pictured the paper as being green and waved his wand over it. Amazingly the piece of paper turned green though he accidentally overpowered the spell and the desk around the paper also turned green.

"Oh my, well done Mr Potter," Professor Flitwick said "10 points to Slytherin for being the first one to do it, could you tell us how you did it?"

"Well I pictured the parchment as green in my head and then performed the charm to make it so," Harry explained

"Excellent, yes magic requires a lot more than wand waving to work, you need to want the spell you cast to happen otherwise nothing will occur, take another 5 points to Slytherin for your understanding of magic though I do wonder why parts of the table are green?"

"Oh err I think I may have overpowered the spell Professor," Harry explained feeling a little nervous.

"Hmm maybe. It's not uncommon to see sometimes, For now Harry work on controlling the power you put into your spells as overpowering some spells can lead to disastrous results," Flitwick advised

"Thank you Professor," Harry said grateful for the advice.

Hermione was stunned. For the first time in her life someone had beat her academically and it was not a good feeling for her. She was instantly jealous of Harry for this and began to dislike the rude boy even more. Malfoy was also pissed off at being shown up by Potter, surely he was supposed to be the superior wizard cause of his Pureblood heritage so where did a half-blood get off at showing him up. For the rest of the class Harry spent turning parchment green and helping out Daphne, Tracey and Blaise and ended up with a small degree of control over his magic though his desk was now mostly green rather than brown. By the end of the class only Sera and Hermione had been successful in changing the colour of there parchment from Griffindor, Neville, Hannah, Susan and Ernie from Hufflepuff had all done it. Most of the Ravenclaw's had succeeded and Harry, Daphne, Tracey, Blaise and annoyingly Draco from Slytherin had all done it.

OoO The Elemental Order OoO

With the class over they then headed off to there first Transfiguration class and when they entered they saw a tabby cat sat on the desk. Harry waited for the class to begin when Ron burst through late with Seamus and Dean.

"Lucky McGonagall isn't her yet imagine what she would have been like if she was," Ron said

The tabby cat jumped off the desk and morphed into Professor McGonagall stunning the class.

"That was bloody brilliant," Ron commentated and Harry had to agree.

"Why thank you Mr Weasley though I think I should transfigure one of you into a pocket watch so you will show up on time?" McGonagall said sternly

"We got lost," Dean said

"Then perhaps a map? Sit down now and that will be 5 point's each from Griffindor for your tardiness," McGonagall said as the sat down looking upset whilst McGonagall began her lecture about the study of transfiguration.

"Transfiguration is one of the hardest and most difficult subjects you will study at Hogwarts and can have disastrous results if you mess about so if you misbehave in this class you will be out of this castle before you can even complain," McGonagall said sternly as she transfigured her desk into a bunch of cats causing everyone to be in awe at the sight of such impressive magic before quickly changing the cat's back into a desk. She then handed out a matchstick to each of them and told them to transfigure it into a needle. Harry presumed that the first class for each subject seemed to be a kind of test to see what level everyone was at. Whilst everyone once again rushed to try and do it without thinking Harry thought back to what he had just learned in charms. He needed to imagine it happening and to need to want it to happen before he could actually do it so he began to picture a needle in his head and then waved his wand over the matchstick. Amazingly he actually did it at as there was now a needle on his desk instead of a matchstick.

"My word Mr Potter well done that's the fastest that I have seen anyone complete this task, take 15 point's for Slytherin and try and change it back into a matchstick now," McGonagall said astonished at the skill Harry had displayed. Hermione once again was angry that she was getting beaten. Her academic prowess was what she prided herself on so she had to be the best, coming second wasn't good enough for her, she had to be the smartest otherwise what else did she have? Sera was impressed at Harry's skill at magic though hoped that he wouldn't get an overblown ego cause of it, that would be unbearable.

"Okay how are you so good?" Daphne whispered to Harry.

"Not a clue, I just pictured a needle in my head and then performed the spell," Harry explained.

No one else had been able to do the same as Harry except Hermione who earned 10 point's for Griffindor and looked a little too smug about it. Draco called Hermione a 'smug little Mudblood' which McGonagall heard to which she was outraged at and docked Slytherin house 50 points and gave him detention for the week. Malfoy just scowled and looked like he didn't do anything wrong. Harry asked Daphne what Mudblood meant and found that it was a derogatory term for a muggleborn. He instantly disliked it. He may not of known his mother but to know that people like Malfoy felt that way about his Mum simply because she wasn't born to a magical family pissed him off. Harry hated people who felt entitled for no reason and truly believed that someone's skill and talent should define them not some hereditary bullshit. Malfoy had quickly earned himself a spot at the top of Harry's shit list and was going to make him pay for his stupid beliefs. The class ended and the first years all went to lunch with Harry looking a little angry.

During Lunch Harry saw Snape walk up to Malfoy to talk to him after he had spoken to McGonagall and Harry knew he wasn't going to like what was coming.

"Mr Malfoy I was able to negotiate your detention down to only 2 days, if you're going to use that word then please do so when there will be no consequence to Slytherin house," Snape said.

Harry heard this and was actually growling because of this which Snape and Malfoy heard.

"Problem Potter?" Snape sneered.

"Yeah if I hear him or anyone else use that word there gonna end up in the hospital wing due to 'unfortunate accidents'," Harry snarled

"Was that a threat Potter?" Snape said condescendingly

"No it's a promise," Harry stated "If your gonna let him and any like him get away with this I guess I'm gonna have to deal with it myself."

"Careful Mr Potter such action could end up besmirching the house of Slytherin which I warned you not to do," Snape stated

"If holding up Slytherin house's pride means being like Malfoy I'll gladly ruin it," Harry declared "I will burn it down and rebuild it from the ground up."

"Harry stop it's not worth it," Daphne whispered to him.

"It seems you are just like your farther after all," Snape sneered

"Good, it's nice to know my farther also stood up to bully's and bigot's," Harry said "Though the fact that you think comparing me to my Dad is an insult suggests that you knew him. I'm gonna guess during your own school years."

"Shut up and get back to your meal Potter your Potions class will start soon and I will not be forgiving if your late especially not to a famous brat," Snape said before Harry could finish as he walked away.

"You know he's going to be especially harsh on you now right?" Tracey said

"What did that accomplish Harry all you've done is made and enemy out of your head of house," Daphne said.

"True but I gained something as well," Harry said

"What could you possibly have gained from that?" Blaise asked

"It appears that my farther is a sore spot for him. Based on that I can assume that my Dad and Snape hated each other in school and were probably in the same year. From that I know that my mother was also in that same year group so the conclusion is that either Snape is a bigot like Malfoy or, and more disturbingly, there may have been something between my Mum and Snape yet Mum ended with Dad making Snape extremely jealous," Harry explained "that is all speculation but if Snape attacks me again I will act on it and see what happens. If Snape gets really angry and flies off the handle I'm right, if he just insults me normally I'm wrong and will work back to find out why "

Harry's friends were stunned. Underneath the happy go lucky genius was an evil mastermind that could play humans like puppets.

"You are an evil genius Harry," Blaise said stunned

"Mwah hah hah," Harry said drolly before smiling "Come on I don't want to be late for potions it should be rather fun."

"You've got to work on hiding your emotions Harry," Daphne said as she, Tracey and Blaise followed him to the dungeons.

"What do you mean?" Harry asked

"I mean that your face is practically screaming 'I have an evil plan'," Daphne explained

"Does it?" Harry asked and then calmed his face down to a more neutral tone that looked false "How's that?"

"Never go into acting Harry?" Daphne advised

"You say the nicest things," Harry said sarcastically "So supportive and helpful."

"Okay I'm starting to see why you two don't like sarcasm," Daphne said to Tracey and Blaise.

"Annoying isn't it?" Tracey said as the group arrived outside potions. Slowly the rest of the Slytherin first years and the Griffindor's showed up.

"Hey Harry," Sera said

"Sup Tiny," Harry said which made Sera scowl but she pushed on not rising to his game.

"What was up at Lunch with you and Snape?" She asked

Before Harry could answer Malfoy butted in and walked up to her

"Why should a Slytherin lower himself to talking to a mud …" Malfoy was saying before a punch to the face interrupted him and he fell to the floor holding his nose.

"I don't need someone to talk for me, least of all you," Harry snarled standing over Malfoy "I did warn you Malfoy what would happen, I guess you should have listened to me."

At that moment Snape appeared and asked harshly "What's going on here?"

"Malfoy fell over," Harry answered

"A likely story Potter," Snape replied before being cut off by Daphne

"It's true Professor he tripped an fell on his face," Daphne declared. All of a sudden the Griffindor's chimed in agreeing except Hermione, who couldn't lie to a teacher, and Malfoy's group.

"Enough, Mr Nott escort Malfoy to the hospital wing to clean himself up and then I want the two of you down here immediately for the rest of your potions class," Snape yelled and Nott helped Malfoy to the hospital wing "All of you in Now!"

The first years all entered the class and got there stuff out for there first potions class which had already proven to be exciting.

"There will be no wand waving, silly incantations or any sort of nonsense in this classroom. I don't expect many of you to truly grasp the subtle science of potion making," Snape began as he said the last bit while looking right at Harry "Though maybe I will be blessed with at least one of you being slightly competent. I can teach you how to bewitch the mind and ensnare the senses. I can tell you how to bottle fire, brew glory and even put a stop to death."

Harry had to accept that, like McGonagall, Snape could hold the attention of a class extremely well and it gave Harry hope that maybe the class would be good.

"Potter! What would I get if I added a powdered root of asphodel to an infusion of wormwood?" Snape asked. Hermione's hand shot up

"That would be the basis for a sleeping potion called the Draught of Living Death sir," Harry answered.

"Hmm and how would you know the answer to a question about a 5th year potion I wonder?" Snape asked annoyed that Harry was right and was good on the specifics.

"Because I asked a 5th year about potions," Harry replied.

"Very well then where would I find a bezoar?" Hermione once again raise her hand.

"In the stomach of a goat," Harry replied. If Snape wanted to play this game he was happy to do so after all it was a win-win for him. If he lost then Snape would be seen as petty if he won then he would be seen as smart. Why Snape was playing this game though stumped him. What did he gain from this, the satisfaction that he humiliated a child surely he couldn't be that petty.

"Correct," Snape said though it actually looked painful for him to say it "What is the difference between Monkshood and Wolfsbane?" Hermione's hand shot up again to Snape's annoyance.

Harry was actually stumped by this one. Plants really did not interest him in the slightest.

"Sadly I don't know that one sir though it appears as if Granger does so why not ask her?" Harry said.

"Put your hand down you silly child," Snape said with a victorious smile as Hermione put her hand down looking at her desk sadly for being scolded "Clearly fame can't teach you everything Potter. There is no difference between the two and they go by Aconite as well. And why is no one writing this down?"

The room was filled with the sounds of quills touching parchment as Malfoy and Nott retuned with Malfoy still holding his nose. For the next hour Snape lectured them about how to brew potions and how tell a potion from a poison before he had them begin brewing a potion that healed boils and pimples. Harry actually found the process of brewing potions therapeutic as it allowed him to turn his brain off and just focus on following the instructions. He heard a hissing sound behind so he turned to see what it was and saw Ron's cauldron explode and cover him in what seemed to be a boil poison instead of the potion as he was covered in boils.

"Idiot boy, I suppose you added porcupine quills before taking the cauldron off the fire," Snape sneered out at Ron who was whimpering in pain. Snape points to Dean and say's "Take him to the hospital wing." Snape then looked at Sera "And why didn't you tell him to stop adding the quills that will be 5 points from Griffindor."

Sera looked outraged and Harry could swear her eyes glowed like fire at Snape for his actions and was only holding off from verbally attacking Snape by Hermione trying to calm her down. Soon after the lesson ended and the Griffindor's quickly left in a hurry desperate to be away from Snape. The Slytherin's meanwhile took the time and strolled out the door. They had an hour to kill till lunch so they all headed to the common room.

OoO The Elemental Order OoO

"This isn't over Potter," Draco said from behind Harry who stopped in his tracks and turned to face him. Everyone in the common room was watching the confrontation.

"Look dumb arse I warned what would happen if you used that word and you paid the price for ignoring me," Harry said sighing "And before you start declaring me a disgrace to Slytherin, I don't care what you think and I doubt that I ever will."

"Don't bother trying to stop him Harry, the Malfoy's have always been an annoying blight in our society," Daphne followed up "They were kicked out of France for a reason."

"Shut up Greengrass you traitor," Draco said

"If I was a traitor then that would imply that I was ever on your side which isn't true at all, you have always been a whiny little brat and will probably die one too," Daphne fired back.

"Wait until my farther hears about this," Draco declared

"I'm sure he will be overjoyed at listening to your bitching," Blaise said "Come on surely we can find something better to do then waste out time with this thing?"

"That's it, Crabbe, Goyle get them," Draco said as the two apes stepped forward.

"Hmm, that's cute," Harry declared as he stepped up to them and ducked there wild punches before kicking there legs out from underneath them causing them to fall into a pile on top of each other. Harry then stepped on Malfoy's foot and pushed him down so that once again Harry was standing over Malfoy.

"You know the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result," Harry said smirking as all the Slytherin's were watching with interest "By that logic picking the same fight over and over again would make you insane Malfoy, though maybe you are just too stupid to learn from your mistakes."

Harry stepped off Malfoy's foot and he and his friends all sat in front of the giant window watching the wildlife living in the black lake.

"Nice work Harry," Sylvia said "You really made a name for yourself just then as you beat the odds and then proceeded to prove your superiority over your opponent like a true Slytherin."

"Thanks Sylvia," Harry said "Though I feel like some will side with Malfoy."

"Only the one's who's family's are on the Malfoy pay roll," Sylvia stated "The news that he lost Slytherin 50 points has spread so he will soon find himself to be an outcast until he earns it back."

"Oh that's brilliant," Daphne said "I love seeing that whiny brat miserable."

"Sounds like there's history there?" Sylvia asked

"My dad's on the Wizengamot so my family always gets invited to those ministry balls and I always run into the prick at them," Daphne explained "He's always been a spoilt child."

"The funny thing is that here he is a part of the Slytherin family and has already let us down by losing those points," Sylvia said.

"Plus it was in a class with the other three houses so they will all know by now," Tracey said

"Oh he's screwed then," Sylvia said "He just lost his chance of connecting with the other houses."

"Why?" Blaise asked. His mother had taught the value of networking so this intrigued him.

"Because he will now be considered a bigot amongst the school so most of the more muggle friendly people will hate him," Sylvia explained. Harry could see why she was the 5th year prefect now. She had her ear to the ground yet at the same time was very helpful which made her easy to ask for help in more than just classes.

"Though I get the feeling that some in Slytherin will stand by him out of loyalty," Harry said.

"Yeah some will, though many will flock to your side Harry," Sylvia said.

"Why?" Harry asked

"For one, your famous so people will want to associate with you because of it and also you have already proven to be an asset to Slytherin based on the fact that you have earned our house more points today than anyone else," Sylvia explained

"Did I? I never noticed," Harry said stunned.

"Yep," Sylvia said before noticing Harry's wand "err what's up with your wand?"

"I've been wondering about that too," Daphne said

Harry pulled it out and noticed that it seemed to be glowing at the tip. It looked more like a tone wand rather than wood and shined red with a black line curling around it from end to end. He could sense that it was actually bored due to not being used at all in potions.

"Maddy's fine, if just a bit bored," Harry explained and they all looked even more confused.

"Maddy?" Blaise asked.

"My wand she's called Maddy," Harry said

"Wait hold up your named your wand Maddy?" Blaise said "And how is your wand a she?"

"She's a special wand Blaise, apparently she was Ollivander's greatest creation," Harry explained

"Wait is that Ollivander's special wand that he called Madness?" Tracey asked.

"Yeah it's quite unique," Harry said with a smile. He truly did love his wand as it was one of a kind and further separated him from the normal witches and wizards.

"That's an understatement Harry that's perhaps the most special wand ever made," Tracey said excitedly.

"True but it's mostly because of the bond," Harry said "Apparently I'm the only person the wand will work for."

"Oh great like you needed to be more special Harry," Daphne said sarcasm dripping from every word.

"I know I'm a special snowflake and proud of it," Harry said getting a chuckle from everyone.

"That you are Harry," Daphne said.

"To be fair you have seemingly kicked arse all day long," Blaise said.

"What can I say I enjoy kicking arse," Harry declared "Look at Malfoy for proof."

They all started laughing and spent the time talking about meaningless things. Harry did learn about the sport of Quidditch and he was intrigued by the idea of a flying sport.

"Come on you lot Dinner will start soon," Sylvia said as they all went off to dinner.

OoO The Elemental Order OoO

Dinner was a peaceful affair for the group who enjoyed talking between themselves and Sylvia as well as other Slytherin's. While Harry didn't particularly like most people he found it easy to talk to the Slytherin's as there seemed to be no bullshit and talked to Harry straight as if he was a young adult. They were all impressed that Harry had put Malfoy down and where glad to see the Malfoy heir put down as he didn't appear to be well liked by the more modest Slytherin's though he was still surrounded by his own group.

There were his two apes Crabbe and Goyle which seemed to be his bodyguards. Then there was Theodore Nott who appeared to agree with the Pureblood supremacist views as did Pansy Parkinson. Millicent Bulstrode appeared to be a part of that group but seemingly as Pansy's bodyguard. Then there was a few older Slytherin's which Sylvia told him were all on the Quidditch team though were renowned for playing dirty to win and using brute force rather than skill. Quite a few disliked the captain Marcus Flint for thinking that girls shouldn't be allowed to play for Slytherin and refused was quite biased on who made it onto the team and seemed to only put his friends on the team.

While Harry was enjoying his time with the Slytherin's he never noticed Ron scowling at him.

"Your better quit making that face Ron or it'll be stuck like that," Fred (or George) told him.

"I hate that smug git," Ron declared

"What the hell could he have done to make you so pissy?" George asked

"Maybe he made the cannons lose?"

"Maybe he tore up his picture of the cannons?"

"Maybe he slept with them?"

"Maybe he slept with Ron picture of the cannons?"

"Enough you two," Percy said "What did he do?"

"He's a Slytherin so he must be a dark wizard and he's mean," Ron said

"Jeez man calm down," Sera said "One boy can't annoy you that much."

"He annoyed me," Hermione piped in "He's disrespectful to the teachers."

"Really?" Percy said

"Calm down Hermione your just angry that he did better than you in class today," Sera said chuckling

"It's not funny Sera," Hermione said

"She's right. He can't be allowed to keep breaking the rules and being disrespectful," Percy stated

"Oh you lot are just making this a big deal," Sera said sighing "So he's a git big deal."

"It's a big deal because if it isn't stopped now then he'll only get worse as he gets older," Percy said.

"Wasn't he insulting you yesterday?" Ron asked

"Not really he's just trying to wind me up hence why he is a git," Sera said. Truth be told she enjoyed the verbal sparring as she found it quite fun and strangely liberating to just insult someone over and over with no consequence.

"It's still against the rules," Percy said

"Oh lighten up Percy," Fred (or George) said

"He also punched Malfoy and got away with it," Hermione said

"Really, I may need to pat him on the back for that one," George(Or Fred) declared.

"This is not a laughing matter you two," Percy said

"Actually it was pretty funny," Sera said.

"Regardless he should be reported to the teachers," Percy said as he got up and did exactly that.

"Really Hermione?" Sera said "You know what he was going to call me right?"

"The rules are there for a reason Sera," Hermione said.

Sera just sighed "You don't get it do you Hermione, there are more important things than the rules."

"Like what?" Hermione asked

"Like standing up for what you believe in," Sera said "It's obvious that Harry hates that word which is why he punched Malfoy."

Hermione looked a little puzzled at that but eventually caught on to what she was saying.

"I suppose I understand but surely Professor Snape would have reprimanded him for saying it," Hermione stated.

"Doubtful," George said

"Snape never takes points off Slytherin's," Fred said

"Completely Biased Snape is," George responded

"That's why Potter punched him then," Ron said "he could pretend to be a good person yet get away with it."

"You my little brother are obsessed," Fred declared.

"Wait are you saying that Professor Snape is unfair?" Hermione asked "Then why did he target Harry during the lesson?"

"That my young lion is a good question," George said trying to act wise.

"We must investigate dear brother," Fred said as the two got up and walked towards Harry just as Percy returned from McGonagall.

"Professor McGonagall says that since the matter has been resolved nothing more needs to happen," Percy said looking disappointed.

"Damn, I was hoping to see Potter put in detention," Ron said.

"Where are the twins?" Percy said sensing trouble.

"With Potter," Ron grumbled

"Hey there Harrykins," Fred said "I'm Fred."

"Wait I thought I was Fred?"

"No I'm Fred, your George."

"Am I? I'm sure I'm Fred,"

"Wait so who's wrong here me or you?"

"I don't know maybe we're both wrong,"

"Maybe we're both George,"

"What if there's no Fred,"

"What would mum think,"

Harry started laughing at their antics "So what's up guys?"

"You see we have heard rumblings that your own head of house seems to dislike you and were curious as to why," The twins said simultaneously making Harry chuckle.

"I know the specifics why but it seems to stem from my farther," Harry answered smirking.

"Oh ho the plot thickens," Fred declared

"Indeed," Harry said mimicking the enthusiasm "I shall tell you more once I have the details."

"You have our deepest thanks Harrykins," George said.

"Anytime," Harry said as the twins left merrily.

"That was weird," Daphne said.

"That's the Weasley twins," Sylvia said "The supreme pranksters of Hogwarts."

"I like them," Harry said.

"Course you do you attract the strange and weird," Blaise said

"So which are you then strange or weird?" Harry asked

"Walked into that one didn't I?" Blaise grumbled.

"That you did my strangely weird friend that you did," Harry declared making Blaise groan in annoyance.

Pretty soon, Dinner ended and Harry went back to the common room where he enjoyed talking with his new found friends and enjoying himself. He went to bed that night early stating that he tired but was really practising his chaos element while using what he learnt during the day. He found that his control over it was a lot better and could hold more chaos than before. However he couldn't condense the power so spent the knight toying round with a ball of chaos the size of his head before he quickly felt tired and so went to sleep happy with the world for once.

Authors Notes

I hope you enjoyed this chapter.

For the guest reviewer all I have to say is that it would've been helpful to hear why it sucks rather than read a tiny rant. I would rather read about how to improve the story or suggestions as to where to take the story. You guys will think of things that I didn't think of that could prove to be better for the story so I always love to hear them.

As for this Chapter I know that most of the elementals aren't in it much but I wanted to establish Harry as a Slytherin. Most story's I've seen with a Slytherin Harry have dark and broody whereas this Harry is more vocal and a bit of a showman. The best way I can describe it is while everyone is a snake, he is a panther. Both are cunning predators but people don't have pet panthers for a reason. Harry is a dangerous person when you are on his bad side. I was originally going to have Harry be a broody guy but it didn't add up to his element so having him act like a bit of an oddball for a Slytherin is what you get.

As for the Potter family history. Most of it is canon and can be found on Pottermore except for Charles Potter who will be a part of this story in a small way. No he isn't alive so no long lost family member to whisk him away. If you want a hint as to what Charles Potter was like in this story read 'Honour Thy Blood' by TheBlack'sresurgence as it inspired me to use Charles Potter this way. It also happens to be one of my favourite Harry Potter fan-fics so seriously read it. I have never read about a more bad ass Harry Potter than in this one.

In terms of how rich Harry is in the story, right now he only has access to his trust vault which is still a lot but the main Potter vault is locked until he becomes of age and yes it is a ridiculous amount of gold.

Next Chapter – Flight and maybe Halloween (depends how long it end up being.)
