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?

5. Chapter 5

Chapter 5 – Taking Flight

Dumbledore was currently sat with the staff for a meeting to discuss how the new first years are doing.

"So Minerva how are the new Griffindor's doing?" He asked

"There good and bad," McGonagall said "The girls Sera and Hermione are very talented and Sera especially seems to be a credit to us. However the boys seem to be rather lazy and unwilling to put in the effort."

"I see, very well then. Flitwick how are your ravens?"

"They all seem to be fine, nothing outstanding for a Ravenclaw but all seem to be settling in well," Flitwick answered.

"Very good how are the new Badgers doing?" Dumbledore asked turning to Sprout

"They're all very good but Neville Longbottom has been struggling with his magic though is exceptional at Herbology," Sprout answered

"Strange cause he's incompetent in Potions," Snape remarked

"Also," Sprout said ignoring Snape "He seems to have hit it off with young Harry and the two work well together."

"Hmm very well Snape how are the Slytherin first years?" Dumbledore asked

"Potter and his group are a problem," Snape answered "If that brat doesn't calm down we will end dealing a civil war within Slytherin."

"What does that mean Snape? Surely he's not that bad?" Sprout asked

"I mean that the brat has already attacked Malfoy multiple times and when I told him to be silent he replied by telling me that he burn down Slytherin house and rebuild it himself," Snape said "He has essentially caused Slytherin house to be split in two."

"Why has he done this?" Dumbledore asked

"It seems as if he detests the Pureblood bigotry and has even taken to referring to Purebloods as inbred, that brat seems determined to ruin Slytherin house from within," Snape sneered out "However, much as it pains me to say the boy is talented, yet it's a shame that he the same attitude as his father."

"Oh don't tell me that you are going to be projecting your hatred for James onto Harry?" McGonagall said.

"Of course not," Snape diplomatically said "Young Potter has earned my hatred all on his own."

Then McGonagall figured it out "He hit somewhere close to you didn't he?"

Snape just glared at her in conformation.

"Regardless what you think Snape that boy is highly talented at charms and is one of the best I've seen," Flitwick said

"Annoyingly he is decent at potions as well and has no trouble with it," Snape said "Though he looks like his eyes are glazed over and he has shut his mind down."

"It's the same with Transfiguration," McGonagall added "Me may posses more talent than his father and if he keeps this up I may even teach him how to become an Animagus when he is older."

"You think he's that talented?" Dumbledore asked. Becoming an Animagus was one of the hardest feats of magic to pull off which was why there was so few who could do it and any that could were held in high regard.

"I think that he may be the most talented student Hogwarts has had since yourself," McGonagall said surprising Dumbledore.

"Regardless I have found that when he doesn't particularly care for a subject he seems to stop trying his hardest," Sprout said.

"That is true in fact the boy has already missed a history of magic lesson," Snape said "However he seemed to be in the Library looking into his family history."

"Okay so the boy is curious about his family that's not surprising," Flitwick said

"However he seems to be looking into a Charles Potter, though I've never heard of him." Snape said.

"I doubt that you would have," Dumbledore said "Charles is Harry's Great Uncle who seemingly vanished with his wife after the war against Grindlewald."

"You knew him?" McGonagall asked

"Yes, he really didn't like me much, he called me a 'cowardly piss ant' if I recall because I refused to fight until I had too whereas he fought Grindlewald from the beginning and was always on the front lines," Dumbledore explained "He was also a highly talented wizard and I will admit that he could beat me in duel due to his fighting prowess and did actually best Grindlewald a few times."

The staff were shocked at this. Why had they never heard of him before.

"While everyone was celebrating the defeat of Grindlewald, Charles vanished and the only people who saw him was his brother Fleamont though I suspect James may have too," Dumbledore said "The more you look into the Potter family the more mysterious it seems."

"What do you mean, sure they have been a well respected family throughout the years but what's so mysterious about them?" McGonagall asked confused.

"The Potter's have been in the background of history and very few are remembered but this seems to be intentional, as if they are hiding in the shadows to protect a family secret," Dumbledore explained "Regardless that is for Harry to deal with, not us, thank you all for doing this and I would suggest that we keep an eye on any problem areas and see what we can do to fix them."

With that the staff left and Dumbledore was even more puzzled by Harry Potter. Thy boy seems to be a happy person but Snape and McGonagall have both noticed just how good he is any verbal attacks and can destroy a person emotionally. It was unnerving to think though his apparent war on bigotry was quite the relief to hear, at least the boy has a good heart at least it seems that way.

OoO The Elemental Order OoO

The rest of the week past by in a blur of excitement and wonderment for Harry as he experienced all the different magic classes he would be taking for the rest of the year yet sadly he was disappointed by some of them. History of Magic should have been a really interesting class in Harry's opinion yet there professor was a ghost who was so monotone and boring that Harry fell asleep within minutes and woke up to the sight of Daphne sleeping next to him as well. Harry decided that he was already done with going to History of Magic classes cause he was told that was what Binn's was like all the time so he decided to just read about goblin rebellions when the end of year exams drew near. The strange thing was that Daphne, Tracey and Blaise agreed with him and Sera looked like she wanted to join him but Harry could see Hermione telling her not to. Harry decided to spend the new found free time researching more about his family, specifically his Great Uncle Charles though couldn't find anything about him which annoyed him. It was like he didn't exist.

Defence against the dark arts was also a huge disappointment for Harry. Quirrel was a stuttering mess and for some reason Harry's scar hurt when he turned around. It was a garlic infused waste of time for Harry in his opinion. Sadly he couldn't skip it as well as Quirrel would notice his absence unlike Binn's.

Herbology was alright but he never really interested in it to begin with though it was one of the few classes he had with the Hufflepuff's and he met Neville Longbottom. Harry had noticed that the boy appeared to be rather shy but he came out of shell during the class and he found that he didn't mind the boy. He didn't particularly say much but they had a pleasant conversation at least and they agreed on many ideals though Harry found the boy a bit underwhelming.

Astronomy was pain in the arse for Harry as it took place at midnight which meant that Harry had to take a nap after eating so that he would be awake for the class. The class itself wasn't too bad and Harry found it cool to look at the stars but he would probably only do it as a hobby at best.

Transfiguration however went from being easy to confusing for Harry when they went over the theoretical side of it though Hermione seemed to excel at it which annoyed Harry cause she had this smug look on her face like she was better than him simply for being better at understanding the theory.

Harry was beginning to dislike the girl more and more for being a cocky little bitch. It was like she had no understanding of how people interacted and even some in her own house disliked her though it seemed as if Sera was a good influence on her. Harry could tell that while Hermione was book smart, Sera was street smart and could read a situation very well. He liked Sera because she was always honest about what she said and he didn't have to wade through the bullshit that most people spewed out though why she was hanging out with Ron bloody Weasley confused him. All that ginger prick did was accuse Harry of being a dark lord whilst being the perfect example of retardation. At least Malfoy had backed off a bit and had learned his lesson though Harry was sure that he was still spewing his bigotry behind his back and plotting his revenge.

Malfoy had a tough week at Hogwarts and Harry enjoyed seeing the light of his dream to rule Slytherin go out. Despite getting out of most of his detention the fact that he lost Slytherin so many points made him an outcast though he still had his group of bigots but it seems like Malfoy overestimated how bigoted Slytherin house was. True the house had no Muggleborns in it but most of the people within Slytherin house seemed to be in the middle of the whole argument with most of them thinking that Voldemort and his way's were too extreme for the country to work effectively under those views though a few didn't particularly care and just wanted to get on with there lives in peace.

The best part of Harry's week so far was the fact that he had a core group of friends for once in his life. Before people were too afraid to be his friend thanks to Dudley but now he had friends that actually stood by his side and supported him which felt amazing and Harry didn't feel like using them unlike the majority of people he had met.

Today however was an important day for Harry as it was the day of his first flying lesson and he couldn't wait to learn how to fly. He was currently eating his breakfast with his friends when Hedwig paid him a visit.

"What's up Hedwig?" Harry asked as she landed next to his plate and started to eat his bacon "Really? You're just gonna steal my bacon and leave?"

Hedwig hooted in confirmation as she continued to eat Harry's bacon.

"She is very pretty," Tracey commentated and Hedwig stopped eating and looked up at her "And appears to be rather smart too."

"Either that or she likes attention," Blaise said to which Hedwig hooted back at him annoyance

"Like Tracey said she's very smart," Harry said as he stroked Hedwigs feathers "You're gonna want to apologise to her for that,"

"Really?" Blaise said looking weary "For I'm sorry for what I said."

Hedwig hooted in acceptance as she finished off Harry's bacon and left.

"Do you have anything normal Harry?" Daphne asked laughing.

"I hope not," He replied and got up "Come on we have flying class and I wanna get there early."

"Came down Harry it's not that big a deal," Tracey said getting up.

"Maybe for you lot, I've never flown before," Harry explained as they all headed outside for there flying lesson.

OoO The Elemental Order OoO

Harry and his friends arrived on the pitch to see that there flying instructor, Madam Hooch, was there waiting for the class to show so and sure enough the first years all came down for their flying lesson.

"I've been flying with my family for years so this'll be easy," Ron declared loudly.

"I'm surprised your family can even afford brooms Weasley," Malfoy retorted

Harry zoned out after the two started to yell at one another until Hooch broke them up and docked both points.

"Now then," Hooch began "All of you step up to the right side of a broom."

The first years all did this "Now stick your right hand out and say up."

Harry did so and his broom shot up into his hand instantly. Only Harry succeeded the first time making Ron, Draco and Hermione look jealous. Draco, Daphne and Blaise all managed it the second time though and eventually all the first years had a broom in hand. This was of course after Ron's broom smacked him the face making everyone laugh. It was always fun to prove people stupid but it's even funnier when they prove it themselves.

"Alright then now it is time for you to learn how to mount your broom. Simply step over and when comfortable gently kick off the ground to levitate," Hooch explained and the first years were soon all off the ground and flying. Hooch came to inspect them all to see if they were doing it right and revealed to Malfoy that he had been handling his broom wrong and had been doing so for years. Then all of a sudden Neville's broom seemed to be acting up and he flew off. He sped around jerking about uncontrollably until he fell off the broom and crashed into the ground. Hooch reached him instantly and began to check what was wrong.

"Broken ankle come on I'll get you to Madam Pomfrey," Hooch said before she turned to the rest of the first years "All of you will wait here till I come back, if I catch any of you flying you'll be expelled faster than you can say Quidditch."

Harry watched Hooch carry Neville off when Malfoy piped up again.

"Looks like fat-bottom forgot something," Malfoy said picking some kind of crystal ball up off the ground. His minions laughed for, some reason Harry had no idea why. It wasn't particularly funny or clever. His thoughts were interrupted by Sera's voice.

"Give it here Malfoy," Sera demanded.

"Or what. What could a Mudblood like you do to me?" Malfoy sneered out and everyone seemed to look at him in anger. It seems like Malfoy forgot what Harry told him about the use of that word.

"Just give it to her and shut up Malfoy, your voice is annoying everyone here," Harry declared.

"Finally prove that you are a traitor and a disgrace to Slytherin," Malfoy said as he mounted his broom and flew up "Fat-bottom likes high things so I think I'll leave this for him somewhere like a tree."

Harry just sighed and began to mount his broom.

"You can't do this you'll be expelled," Hermione told him

"I don't need nor want your opinion Granger," Harry told her as he flew up until he was level with Malfoy "Give it here Malfoy or else."

"If you want so bad go get it," Malfoy said as he chucked the remembrall towards the castle wall. Harry flew off trying to catch it and he found himself enjoying himself. The sensation and the danger of it was exhilarating to him. The ball had almost reached the wall when finally caught it and on instinct corkscrewed on the broom to stop himself from smashing into the wall and face the other way.

"Holy Shit!" A voice said. Harry looked for the source and saw that it was Marcus Flint and Graham Montague. Two fifth year Slytherin's who were also on the Quidditch team as chasers while Flint was also the captain of team. They were also supporters of the Pureblood Supremacy but were smart enough to stay quiet.

"Sup Flint?" Harry asked casually.

"What's up? You just did that amazing catch right in front of me like it was nothing," Flint explained looking impressed.

"That's because it was nothing, well except for fun," Harry said smirking

"Really?" Flint asked looking thoughtful "Say Potter do you like Quidditch?"

Harry knew instantly that Flint wanted him to join the Quidditch team. It made sense, he needed a seeker for the team.

"I don't know much about Quidditch but it does intrigue me," Harry said cryptically. Truth be told he had been intrigued by the sport as it sounded dangerous and fun.

"Okay Potter how you like to be on the team?" Flint said tired of beating around the bush.

"Err I would say yes but first years aren't allowed a broom," Harry said.

"I'm sure Snape can find a way around that so that is a yes?"

"Sure Flint," Harry said "Though I'm curious. I thought you didn't like me?" Harry asked

"I don't agree with your views but I want to play professionally after Hogwarts and it will serve Slytherin house quite well," Flint explained.

"Fair enough I suppose," Harry said. "I look forward to playing then."

"Perfect, I'll go speak to Snape about getting you a broom, we can't have you riding that rickety thing," Flint said as he and Montague ran off and Harry flew back to his flying class.

OoO The Elemental Order OoO

Harry landed back at the pitch to a chorus of cheers and saw the Hufflepuff group near the front

"Hey Susan," Harry said talking to Susan Bones who looked at him as he handed her the remembrall "Give to Neville when you see him next."

"Thanks Harry," Susan said blushing.

"No problem, oh and Malfoy," Harry said facing the now sulking boy "Thanks."

"For what Potter?" Malfoy asked angrily.

"See I caught the remembrall right in front of Marcus Flint, our Quidditch captain, and now it seems I'm on the team so thank you for being such an arse that you made me do that," Harry explained and crowd were shocked

"That's rubbish Potter," Malfoy sneered "Why would Flint do that, he hates you?"

"No we disagree, but more to the point Malfoy, Flint sees the advantage of me being on the Slytherin team so, for the good of our house we have decided to simple agree to disagree and work together for the good of Slytherin house," Harry explained "it seems like you truly are the worst Slytherin at Hogwarts."

Everyone except Ron laughed at that as Malfoy and his stooges walked away in disgrace before Malfoy turned back to retort.

"Wait till I tell my father about this Potter," Malfoy declared "not like you can do the same."

Everyone gasped. That was a low blow thing to say and Daphne was worried that Harry would do something stupid as he did appear to be growling.

"That will be 20 points from Slytherin Mr Malfoy and detention tonight with Filch," Hooch said as she returned to finish off the lesson. They spent the rest of time flying close to the ground on Hoochs instruction and Harry got used to flying on a broom. It was a little uncomfortable but it was also fun and all to soon for Harry the lesson ended and they had the rest of the day to themselves.

As Harry and his friends was walking back to the castle Sera and Hermione caught up to them and got Harry's attention.

"Hey Harry what's going on with you? I heard that all Slytherins agree when in public so is that true or not?" Sera asked

"It's true. We are meant to project a united front to everyone else cause we're seen as untrustworthy at best or evil at worse," Harry explained still looking moody

"But why don't you do it then?" Sera asked Harry.

"Cause I don't like Malfoy and I won't pretend to," Harry answered simply.

"Won't you be in trouble for it?" Sera asked concerned

"Why do you care tiny?" Harry replied and Sera scowled at that "I've told you why I'm doing what I'm doing so why push further."

"Oh I'm sorry," Sera said sarcastically "Forgive me for caring about you."

"Look I've told you why so leave it," Harry replied with finality as he walked off to the dungeons.

"Sorry about that," Daphne said for Harry "He's pissed off."

"Why?" Sera asked concerned

"Look if Harry didn't tell you then I won't tell you," Daphne said

"Fair enough," Sera replied

"Really Sera that's it?" Hermione said "He was mean to you so he should apologize not to mention he should also be in trouble for what he did."

"Why? He did the right thing," Blaise said

"But he completely ignored Madam Hoochs instruction not to fly," Hermione explained like it was obvious.

"And if he didn't then Neville wouldn't have his remembrall and Harry wouldn't be on the Quidditch team," Tracey explained.

"He still should have waited for Hooch to sort it out," Hermione scoffed.

"Enough Hermione," Sera said "Come on let's just relax, we have the whole day to do so."

The two Griffindor's left and the Slytherin's joined Harry in the common room.

"Why are you defending Potter he broke the rules and was rude to you?" Hermione asked Sera as they made there way up.

"Hermione, sometimes you do have to break rules to do the right thing, I know you don't agree but that's the way the world works," Sera explained further "And I know he can be mean but I'm sure he has his reasons."

"What reasons?" Hermione asked

"Hermione you may be a bloody genius when it came to books but you are woefully ignorant of people's emotions," Sera said "Luckily I'm here to help you."

"I am not ignorant," Hermione huffed

"You remember when he was mean to you at Gringotts?" Sera asked and Hermione nodded "Do you know why?"

"Cause he's mean," Hermione replied

"No it's deeper than that," Sera said "You were pestering him about his family."

"So?" Hermione said confused

"His dead family," Sera said and it finally hit Hermione.

"Oh my god he must think that I'm an insensitive jerk," Hermione said

"Probably," Sera said "That's why he calls you Granger."

"But how was I supposed to know?" Hermione asked

"Okay we're friends right?" Sera asked

"Of course," Hermione said

"How about this, I help you become street smart and you help me become book smart?" Sera asked and Hermione smiled and agreed "Perfect come on we're going to the common room to teach you."

"Why there?" Hermione asked being dragged by Sera.

"Cause we are going to watch people come and go and you are going to tell me what mood there in and why," Sera explained as the two friends headed off.

OoO The Elemental Order OoO

When Harry arrived in the common room he was greeted by Snape with Draco stood behind him and the common room watching them.

"What is it Professor Snape?" Harry asked really not in the mood anymore as Daphne, Blaise and Tracey had caught up to him.

"Mind your tone Potter," Snape sneered "Mr Malfoy tells me that you have been ignoring the rule about showing a united front and got him in trouble."

"Malfoy is correct about the first part," Harry replied "As for the second part, that's on him for mocking the fact that my parents are dead in front of a teacher."

"Hmm a likely story Potter, playing the sympathy card to get him in trouble," Snape stated "And why are you ignoring that particular rule in the first place?"

"For the first part I don't really care what you believe as you have proven that your opinion is askew for some reason related to my father," Harry said shocking everyone in the rule and Snape looked angry. " As for your question on why I refuse to pretend to be friendly with the blonde peacock, I simply have to much self respect to associate with him or for people to even think that I'm associated with him."

"You filthy half-blood, you should be honoured to be associated with me" Malfoy remarked

"Oh will you shut up already," Harry yelled back "You are a bigoted bully who thinks he's special cause his daddy's rich well guess what you are worthless without your money."

"Enough," Snape said "Potter you are not doing the house of Slytherin any favours so you will sit Mr Malfoy's detention instead."

"You can't do that!" Daphne yelled as Malfoy smiled

"I can Greengrass, frankly I'm disappointed that you three are associating with Potter," Snape said

"You know my cousin also used to make sure that no one wanted to be friend though he proffered to beat them up," Harry remarked

"Your point Potter?" Snape asked with a faint smile

"That you are as petulant as a child which therefore makes you one of the most pathetic people that I have ever met," Harry explained silencing the room. Many thought he was a dead man walking.

"Then I hear by ban you from playing Quidditch at Hogwarts," Snape declared smiling

"Wait Professor we need him he's probably the best we have," Flint begged
"Really Snape, you are going to put whatever leftover anger you have at my dad over the needs of Slytherin house?" Harry said "Way to prove my point in front of everyone here."

Snape can't believe that he had been backed into a wall by an 11 year old and a Potter at that.

"Fine your not banned but I am taking you to the headmaster," Snape sneered

"Why?" Harry asked

"Because you are insubordinate, lazy, selfish and arrogant," Snape explained

"And how does that justify me going to the headmasters office?" Harry asked again and Snape had no response "You're gonna force me to go anyway and try and get me expelled by the headmaster so that you can blame him. Not that cunning especially from the head of the house of cunning."

"Just move you insufferable brat," Snape barked out in anger.

"Fine, just one thing first," Harry said as he sprinted to Malfoy and once again punted him in the balls and screamed at him "That's for what you said you worthless piece of shit!"

Malfoy was going fetal when Snape dragged Harry out and towards the headmaster's office

"I'm gonna guess that Malfoy was full of shit and did make fun of the fact that Harry is an orphan?" Sylvia asked

"Yep," Tracey responded "I thought Harry was gonna kill him."

"No just the Malfoy line it appears," Sylvia remarked.

"It hurts," Malfoy whimpered out.

"Good," Daphne said "You deserve it you pruned up peacock."

"I really hope that Harry is still on the team though?" Flint said

"Why? Is he that good?" Zoe Accrington, a third year asked

"He performed a perfect catch and corkscrewed into a full stop before crashing a wall," Flint explained "And he did it on a school broom."

"That's insane!" Adrian Pucey, the third Slytherin Chaser replied

"That's why I wanted him as seeker, cause he's insane enough to do that kind of crazy shit for the win," Flint explained

"Oh come off it Flint he can't be that good," Terrance Higgs sneered out. He was going to try out for Seeker before Harry just got it.

"Look Higgs, you would've been on the team but Harry is both better and younger than you which means he can get even better as he grows," Flint explained to him. He understood why Higgs was pissed and didn't blame him one bit.

"Plus that was his first time on a broom," Daphne explained

"Okay that I don't believe," Flint stated laughing

"It's true," Tracey said

"Really?!" Flint asked excited and the three first years nodded.

"But how is that his first time on a broom I pressumed Dumbledore must've taught him," Zoe asked

"He was raised by his aunt and uncle on his mother's side," Blaise explained

"The Boy-Who-Lived was raised by muggles?!" Sylvia asked shocked.

"Yeah and he's still bloody good," Daphne stated in mock annoyance

"He's no better than a mudblood then" Malfoy stated finally picking himself up

"Oh shut up Malfoy if anything he makes you look even worse," Daphne said "You have known about magic since you were born, he found out a few months ago and is still better than you."

"Seriously Malfoy, just shut up and walk away," Flint said and Malfoy stormed off "Wonder how he's doing?"

OoO The Elemental Order OoO

Harry was beyond angry now. First Malfoy had to be himself which pissed him off then Snape had to support him and piss Harry off even further and he lost control of his anger.

"Sherbet Lemon," Snape declared to a gargoyle which spun upwards to reveal a spiral staircase "Move it Potter."

Harry walked up the stairs to see a door and when the two reached it a voice just said enter. They did and Harry was impressed with what he saw. It was definitely a room that made his brain think that Dumbledore was impressive. The walls were covered in bookcases contain old dusty tomes and there were portraits of the previous headmaster's hanging.

"Ah Severus what brings you and young Harry here?" Dumbledore asked.

"Headmaster I want this petulant boy either expelled or resorted, he is proving to be destructive to the house of Slytherin and attacked Mr Malfoy." Snape stated

"Is this true Harry?" Dumbledore asked him

"I will admit to losing my cool and attacked Malfoy but this whole debacle started because Snape took the words of Malfoy to be true and mine to be false," Harry replied. He decided to be polite and understanding for this. He would project that he was being the bigger man in this situation and act maturely by admitting to fault yet not back down. "You see Malfoy used the word mudblood which I detest and tried to break Neville's remembrall. After I stopped him I said that he was making every Slytherin look like bigots because of his actions and he bragged that he would tell his father about it and that I couldn't."

"I see Harry thank you for telling me this," Dumbledore said

"You don't believe him do you?" Snape asked in disbelief.

"Severus did you really interrupt me for a school yard scuffle that you are responsible for making a bigger deal than it is?" Dumbledore asked him "You really need to let go of your anger it is starting to affect you performance."

"Ah ha, so Snape is projecting his anger at my father to me," Harry said out loud causing Dumbledore to look at him surprised.

"You know? How?" Dumbledore asked impressed

"Because Snape appeared to hate me before even meeting me and then he made a snide comment about my dad later on which means that whatever Snape has against me is to do with my dad," Harry explained.

"Impressive Harry," Dumbledore said "Nevertheless you attack Mr Malfoy so you will also have detention along with him."

"I understand professor," Harry said.

"Good now run along Harry," Dumbledore said and Harry left the office.

"Great now the boy is going to more arrogant than he already is," Snape sneered out.

"It's your own fault Severus, I will not punish a boy simply because you hate his father," Dumbledore said disappointed "From now on treat Harry like any other student as I can't have you in here to cover for you when he gets the better of you."

"Understood headmaster, but the boy will be trouble," Snape replied

"Then he will be in trouble of his own accord not because another 11 year old wishes it so," Dumbledore replied.

Snape just left his office and Dumbledore rubbed his head. Harry appeared to have many sociopathic tendencies yet he wasn't a complete sociopath. He had friends and appeared to project the happiness of a new sensation which he attributed to his arrival at Hogwarts and the fact that he appears to be doing very well in classes. In fact any problem with Harry seems to stem from what others said particularly about muggleborns. He had no idea what to make of him but decided to get the boy his first broom after all he will need it.

OoO The Elemental Order OoO

Harry arrived back at the Slytherin common room to a sea of questions.

"Okay calm down, I'm allowed on the Quidditch team," Flint cheered at that "And I have detention alongside Malfoy for attacking him."

"Fair enough Harry," Sylvia said chuckling "It was a good kick though."

"Thanks," Harry said

"You are insane Harry how did you talk your way out of it?" Daphne asked

"I told the truth that's all," Harry replied

"Oh come on there must be more to it than that?" Blaise said smirking

"The trick is to admit to what you did when you can get something more out of it or if you wanna bring them down with you," Harry said making many chuckle.

"You'll do good here Harry," Zoe said.

"Thanks," Harry replied.

The rest of the day Harry spent with his friends in the common room finishing off their homework and before Harry knew it he and Malfoy headed off to detention.

"I sent an owl to my father telling him about this injustice," Malfoy stated and Harry just rolled his eyes

"And I'm sure he will be excited to read your bitching," Harry retorted.

Before Malfoy could fire back Filch arrived.

"You brats will be cleaning the trophy room without magic," Filch stated bitterly "Though if it was up to me I would hang you by you nails."

"Lovely," Harry said. He could tell that Filch meant it. Harry had been told that Filch liked no one and seemed to enjoy coming up with cruel punishments and that it was best to avoid him and his cat. Filch stood outside the room as if guarding it as Harry and Malfoy began cleaning trophy's.

"I can't stand that you let this happen," Malfoy said

"You got yourself into this mess by getting caught stop bitching it's pathetic," Harry said rolling his eyes.

"Enough let's settle this completely," Malfoy said turning to face Harry "I challenge you to a wizard's duel."

"What now?" Harry asked

"At midnight here," Malfoy sneered out.

"And let myself get caught when you're safely tucked in bed no thanks," Harry replied

"Coward," Malfoy said trying to bait Harry. It was hilariously pathetic for Harry to watch

"Pathetic," Harry said rolling his eyes "if you're so determined to duel then we can do it in the common room after detention."

Malfoy seemed to stutter and get back to cleaning and Harry just chuckled. It was too easy. Soon enough the detention ended and the two walked back to the common room and went to their respective friend groups.

"How was it?" Daphne asked Harry.

"Rather funny, Malfoy tried to get me to agree to a wizards duel at midnight," Harry said

"What did you say?" Tracey asked

"I told him that we could do it here in the common room instead and he just stuttered and shut up," Harry explained.

"Nice Harry," Sylvia said and they spent the rest of the night talking before finally they all went to sleep.

Authors Notes

I hope you enjoyed this chapter. I will be unlikely to post another chapter this week as I'm renovating the house so will not have as much time to write. Many people have complained that Harry is a complete dick in this story and yes he is but he has a reason why he is like this and also, it's a character arc although some seem to like him like this but this is not a dark Harry story.

In case you can't tell I don't like Snape and he will not like Harry in any way.

I know I said that Halloween may be in this chapter but it went on longer than I thought so Halloween will be next chapter and you will see some elemental power in action.
