Disclaimer: I do not own Demonbane or Harry Potter so buzz off on law suits damn money grabbing lawyers
(Start)
Harry was sleeping peacefully in his bed as he was lightly snoring while Ron was in his bed sleeping as well. Everyone else was getting ready for the day and rising up as Harry just slept peacefully glad he got his own room away from Al Azif and her need to wake him up early for school or important business. As he got up some of the guys were shocked when the saw a familiar head of violet hair walked in as she headed over to Harry's bed the winged girl glared down at the sleeping Harry as she had expected him to be awake already but alas he was still asleep.
She tapped her foot in irritation before taking out a small watch and had just about enough of Harry lazing about this morning. She then sighed to herself and then took out her wand and had a smirk on her face as to what she was about to do to the sleeping duo. "Go easy on them Al." Hermione warned as she was reading a book nearby ready for the day as the subject on her book was the lore and mythology involving Grimoires no doubt to learn how one invents a spell through them. Of course Hermione's warning fell to the ears of temptation as Al smirked.
"Not in your life, Hermione." Al said as she then flicked her wand for a personal favorite of hers. "Stupify!" Al invoked sending Harry and Ron of their beds like she was disarming the beds of Harry and Ron as Harry shot up in shock to that.
"I'm up!" Harry called as he soon saw Al there.
"Good get your arse up and ready for the day it's time for breakfast." Al said as Harry rubbed the sleep out of his eyes and began getting ready for his day of school as Al and Hermione waited outside the boy's dorm in the main common room down the stairs of the famous Gryffindor tower home to the house of Gryffindor.
"Ow." Ron moaned as he got up as even he wasn't safe from Al Azif when she was hungry or upset which he now learns the hard way from the legendary Necronomicon Al Azif herself.
"Oh stop you whining I was lenient on you." Al said as she looked at Ron while taking her leave.
"How did you put up with her mate?" Ron asked as he got up rubbing the soreness.
"It was very difficult." Harry confessed as he and Ron got ready.
(Scene Break Great Hall Breakfast)
The group was eating there breakfast in Gryffindor table as Harry was enjoying his food next to Al while Ron was just plain out eating with Hermione eating and reading as well as studying all together. "So we got Transfiguration first, followed by potions, then we have some break time, then broom stick riding, followed by Defense against the Dark Arts, and finally at night we have some star gazing fortune telling." Al said as she read through their shared class schedule as it looked like the schedule changed around between days here which Al was find with as it gave them different points to be ready as they also had the weekend to themselves to undergo important assignments from HQ.
"Good morning Bozos!" Came the cheerful voice of Joseph as he had a piece of toast in his mouth he no doubt snagged from the Slytherin table with Elisa enjoying a nice spot of coffee and a small plate of roast liverwort as the two joined the group of friends.
"Morning Joseph." Harry greeted as Hermione smiled to him.
"Hey Joseph how was your morning?" Hermione asked as she looked to the young Slytherin.
"Three Word mates, Mornings Are Evil." Joseph said as Harry laughed.
"No argument from me there mate." Harry said as he honestly hated waking up early in most cases none work or social life related. Of course Al hatred morning's period she once tried to sleep through school one time and it didn't work even when in book form to hide.
"Should we really let him be here I mean he is the enemy and all." Ron said as Elisa slapped the back of his head for that one causing Ron to yelp in slight pain.
"Don't worry guys he's safe he wouldn't stab us in the back even if he wanted to." Harry said as Joseph smiled a big happy toothy smile on his face.
"So what did I miss anyway?" Joseph asked as he sat down.
"Nothing just the same old stuff but with magic." Harry said as Al sighed at that one joke as it was older then she was and that was something if a person is literally younger then the joke for a long time ago.
"Anyway if Slytherin gives you guys trouble just look me up I'll handle it no problem." Joseph said with a smile on his face as he gave a thumbs up. "I'll make sure those blokes don't harass you too much them and there pureblood stupidity." Joseph said as he already basically became there King last night so they were no problem for him to handle.
"Alright will do mate." Harry said as Ron was still unsure seeing as Slytherin's and Gryffindor's didn't really get along that well or at all.
Joseph then stretched a bit as he finished his breakfast. "Anyway Joseph and me need to head out and get our stuff for class so if we'll see you in class." Elisa said as she also finished her food and left the plate on the table as she got up with Joseph ready to go.
"Yeah take care mates and don't do anything crazy Harry." Joseph said as Harry laughed a little as he and Elisa took there leave.
"Well I best be head to class also I already had my books ready so I'll see you there." Hermione said as Harry, Al, and Ron realized something rather quickly… they forgot there books. Al would have laughed at the irony if it wasn't for the fact they need those books to be ready for class. The trio then yelled a bit and ran as they headed to their common room to pick up there text books and try to make it to class on time.
"This is your fault Harry!" Al called out as Harry looked.
"How is it my fault you forgot your books also!" Harry called as Al glared.
"I'm a Grimoire Harry I'm already a book so me forgetting a book reflects on the master I am currently contracted with which so happens to be you!" Al countered as she had a point there from a sort of appearance sort of stand point of magical origin things.
"Bloody hell!" Harry called out as they ran to their common room to pick up there text books for class.
(Scene Break later at class)
The trio were running to class as Harry was listening to Al lecture him on his tardiness while Harry rolled his eyes seeing as Al was late also and he knew if he tried to tell her this she would put the blame on him since she was trying to make sure they didn't end up late anyway. Harry has known Al long enough to compare her to most Tsunadere's in the anime's he watched with Joseph, Elisa, and Dudley.
The trio ran in and saw the class comprised of Gryffindor's and Slytherin's were already there working on something. Al looked ahead and saw a Cat on the desk as she stopped and face palmed herself knowing they were now. Ron being unaware let out a sigh of relief as Joseph was sitting with Draco and his two goons as he saw this go on. "We made it can you imagen the look on McGonagall's face if we were late." Ron said in relief as Al once again face palmed herself from behind them as Joseph and Elisa sighed to those two at their responses.
The cat who saw the whole thing jumped off the table and transformed into Professor McGonagall as she still held that stern look on her face while walking to the three tardy students in class. Ron and Harry were shocked at this as Al stood with the two clearly not pleased with being late for their first day of classes.
"That was Bloody Brilliant." Ron said as he was amazed by such a magical ability as he didn't even see it coming but he was also trying to suck up so they can lighten their punishment from the strict teacher.
"Thank you for that assessment Mr. Weasley. Perhaps it would be more useful if I were to Transfigure Mr. Potter, Ms. Azif, or yourself into a pocket Watch. That way at least one of you or two of you at most may be on time of." Professor McGonagall scolded as she did not tolerate tardiness.
'Is that an option?' Al wondered as Harry did need a pocket Watch and Ron was the perfect guinea pig for it in her opinion.
"Sorry we got lost." Harry apologized as Al forgot that part.
'Crap I forgot we needed a map to here.' Al thought knowing without a map they were lost like deaf Dolphin in the ocean.
"Then perhaps a map." McGonagall said as she looked to the trio who were tardy. "I trust you don't need one to find your seats." The teacher said as the trio then began going for their seats next to Hermione.
Joseph cringed at his friends getting in trouble as Elisa rolled her eyes at them getting in trouble for tardiness. Al began to take notes not like she really needed to since she was a Magical Book she had the knowledge on this stuff already engraved inside her very pages. And after this class began as the norm as Students took notes to better study them later as class for these first years was now there new normal for now.
(Scene Break the next day with The Group the halls)
The group was walking down the halls heading to their next class which was Potions with Snape. Joseph explained the guy clearly didn't like his job which Harry figured since the guy wanted the DADA position Quarrel had. Plus Joseph being in the House Snape was head of knew that the guy likes taking points more than he liked giving them so he was more of the make or break for the House Cup. "I'm telling you Ron better to have a spy in the other houses that way you make allies and know how to one up Slytherin." Joseph said as he walked.
"He's not wrong Ron." Harry said as he saw the logic there.
"But he could be a double agent for all we know." Ron defended as Joseph scoffed.
"Ron he's been Harry's friend since childhood I doubt he and Harry will let different houses ruin such a beautiful friendship." Hermione said as Joseph nodded in agreement.
Soon they passed by a group of students and saw them talking amongst themselves as Al looked and could hear them clearly.
"You hear Master Therion is looking for recruits for his Black Lodge." A Student said no doubt an upperclassman in a different House.
"But I thought that guy wasn't real the Prophet said so." Another said as the group stopped for a moment and listened in.
"Yeah but with things as they are purebloods will finally get what's coming to them, at least the oppressing ones." A third said as Joseph looked. "Well whatever you guys think first thing I'm doing once I'm out of Hogwarts is joining the Black Lodge, I don't plan on dying here in a small world when Master Therion is the only guy working on getting rid of that divide, and people call him a Dark Lord." The young man said as Joseph looked as Elisa grabbed Joseph's hand in worry for him.
"Joseph you ok mate?" Harry asked as he hoped Joseph wasn't already considering joining the Black Lodge as a first year of all things possible.
"Will you excuse me for a minute mates?" Joseph said as he walked to the trio.
The group looked and saw Joseph approached the group. "Pardon me but I could not help but over hear your conversation of joining the Black Lodge." Joseph said as he looked to the group.
"Yeah, you're a Muggle Born First Year right?" The oldest of the group asked Joseph nodded.
"Yes but I was concerned when you discussed joining the Black Lodge." Joseph said as he looked to them.
"Yeah I think everyone in the Wizarding World should join at least that way we'll have a chance to really show those Egotistical Pure Blood and those crueler Muggles that we won't just stay hiding while they enjoy all the things a changing world has to offer." The second one said as Joseph saw they had Hufflepuff uniforms on them.
"Well I won't deny Master Therion has a point but he isn't the great savior you think he is." Joseph said as the trio looked shocked. "Now before you start I know what he is doing is for a good cause to some but he's basically forcing change to a world that isn't ready for it. In other words he's trying to start a rebellion and with it a civil war where innocent lives both Wizard and Muggles will be caught in the crossfire of all of those involved fighting." Joseph said as the Wizarding Students were shocked as was Hermione and Ron as well.
"Well I can agree with you there but most of us half-bloods and muggle-born are treated like lower class citizens in the Wizarding World if we don't join Master Therion in changing things then there won't be a magical world for us to use magic." The Student said as Joseph nodded in understanding to him and in understanding to his plight.
"Then I will not stop you just when you join him do so at your own peril." Joseph warned before leaving to rejoin his friends for their next class.
When Joseph returned to his group Ron looked surprised by this while Hermione was smiling in admiration of Joseph while Elisa was blank and Al was well Tsunadere Al Azif. "Wow did you just try and stop people from joining a Dark Lord?" Ron asked as he looked to Joseph in shock to what he had said to those students.
"Yeah after all we are schoolmates after all so I should do my best to deter them from a would be Dark Lords ideals even if they are from another House then my own house." Joseph said as he smiled to his childhood friend Harry and his schoolmates from Gryffindor.
"Well we should probably head to class don't want to be late for Potions." Harry said as Joseph understood as Charms was easy for Joseph to understand prior to starting.
"Yeah if what they say is true then Snape will be murder on the house points even to his own house." Al said as she needed to play the role of a student here as per orders for this mission.
"Well hopefully he's better then Professor Stutters-a-lot." Joseph joked as Elisa snickered as this as Elisa smiled at her friend.
"Yeah I saw the guy he's completely not right for this job." Al said as she had her own thoughts. 'In more ways than one.' Al thought as she saw Quarrel wasn't normal as Al with Harry saw something was off about him and that Garlic smell he had was just murder on them both.
(Scene Break Snape's Potions Class)
The class was gathered in the room talking as Joseph was sitting next to Draco who seemed quite frightened by him but still tried to look smug and superior over the Muggle Born Slytherin Wizard. Soon door slammed and Professor Snape walked into the classroom with his cloak billowing behind him and as he did so he gave calculative looks to Harry and Joseph as Al saw this and knew Snape had some sort of bone to pick with him.
"There will be no foolish wand-waving or silly incantations in this class. As such, I don't expect many of you to appreciate the subtle science and exact art that is potion-making. However, for those select few…" Snape looked right past Joseph and nodded his head at Draco, who nodded his head in return all the while Elisa saw the whole thing and kept a close eye on all of them. "Who possess, the predisposition...I can teach you how to bewitch the mind and ensnare the sense. I can tell you how to bottle fame, brew glory, and even put a stopper in death." Snape said as Joseph saw something was up here and simply took his normal calm and calculative posture and interlocked his hands in front of his mouth giving no room for any facial way to his mind to tell what he was truly thinking about or planning on.
Snape suddenly stopped talking and instead focused on Harry, who was writing furiously. Al saw this and quickly elbowed Harry but it seems he wasn't paying attention as Al was silently cursing Harry's thickhead. "Then again, maybe some of you have come to Hogwarts in possession of abilities so formidable that you feel confident enough to not pay attention!" Snape raised his voice in a scolding tone as now Al saw Harry's attention was caught at a bad time for him in class by Snape.
"Smooth move Harry." Al scolded as she face palmed herself as she should have expected this much from Harry at the very least all things considering from Eldritch Gods and the battles against Black Lodge.
Professor Snape narrowed his eyes at Harry, who just continued to write. Harry was completely oblivious to what was going on as the class watched him. Snape glared coldly at him. Granger who sat beside him kept making faces at him, trying to get him to notice his surroundings. But even that didn't seem to work. Harry stopped writing and looked at Al for help. Al rolled her eyes and then nodded her head in Snape's direction. Sheepishly, Harry set his quill down and then looked directly at their professor. The loathing look Snape was giving Harry was for more terrifying than any look he had given Al so far. She had to admit that she was truly scared for her brother.
"Mr. Potter...our new celebrity," Snape drawled as he slowly walked in Harry's direction. "Tell me, what would I get if I added powdered root of asphodel to an infusion of wormwood?"
By this point, Snape was leaning over the desk where Harry sat. He stood there towering directly over him, waiting for him to respond. Harry looked to Ron for help, but the Weasley boy only shrugged his shoulders. Hermione Granger's hand shot straight up in the air, but Professor Snape ignored her. Instead, he looked at Harry with an, I'm waiting, expression on his face. Harry took a deep breath before looking to Ron again. Ron's response was the same as before.
Al then silently slid a parchment over to Harry outside of Snape's glare area as Al silently smirked to herself at her genius move. Harry looked at the parchment and saw what was written on it. The words Draught of Living Death were scrawled on the parchment.
"Draught of the Living Death, sir." Harry said as Joseph gave Harry a thumbs up from his spot next to Draco Malfoy.
"Hmm perhaps it may be beginners luck, or it could be you being a celebrity isn't just for show." Snape said as he had another one for Harry as he knew Joseph was the brains between the two plus he was sitting next to Al Azif as well which may mean more than the two being near good old friends. "Let's try another one, Mr. Potter. Tell me, where would you look if I asked you to find me a bezoar?" Snape asked as he glared down upon Harry and just in time to as he saw the answer on a parchment slid over ever so silently by Al Azif.
Harry saw it from the corner of his eye as Snape saw the eyes move and knew Al Azif was aiding Harry in these questions. "A Goats stomach, sir." Harry said as Snape now had caught Harry red handed and decided to use it to humiliate him and Al here.
"Perhaps you do have a mind in that skull of yours Mr. Potter shall we see if you have three for three, without Ms. Azif's aid, surely for the Boy-Who-Lived it should not be too much trouble for you." Snape said as he looked to Al who was shocked she was caught but then glared back a bit of her own. "So Ms. Azif hands on the table where I can see them please." Snape said as Al cursed her own cockiness for not seeing it sooner as she put her hands and wand on the table so she wouldn't be caught helping Harry.
'Don't screw up Harry.' Al thought as she knew Harry was in some deep waters here without her helping him.
"Now, tell me, what is the difference between monkshood and wolfsbane?" Snape asked as now Harry honestly didn't know this one.
Al couldn't mouth it to Harry without being caught as Harry was caught in a bad spot here without any help from his Grimoire, Al.
Joseph was wide eyed at this one as he knew this answer like the back of his hand as he then looked over to Harry and began to mouth same thing to his best friend. But it seems Harry wasn't listening as Hermione had her arm raised for quite some time on this question's answer. "I don't know, sir," Harry responded almost defiantly before turning and looking at Hermione Granger, whose arm was practically quivering in anticipation. "But I think Hermione does, so why don't you try her?" Harry suggested as Al in turn face palmed himself to the response from Harry as she wondered why didn't, he ever listen.
Several of the Gryffindor's, including Ron, snickered which did not please Snape one bit as Joseph also face palmed himself from the Slytherin group he had taken patronage from as his house. Joseph of course really wished deep down that Harry was more observant to his surrounding and his friends.
"Or perhaps, Potter, if you were smart enough, you should have looked over to Mr. Theo to see that she was trying to mouth you the right answer," Snape sneered as Joseph was even more shocked as he then slammed his head on the table as it made a large bang sound as Harry knew Joseph did that when he tried to help Harry when he shouldn't and it cost them both big. "Mr. Theo can you please tell the class what the answer was?" Snape asked as Joseph gave a thumbs up with his head turning to its side on the table.
"Monkshood and wolfsbane are the same plant, which also goes by the name of aconite Professor Snape." Joseph said solemnly as he clearly wasn't thrilled about this failure on both him and Harry's part of their friendship. Joseph got his head up as he clearly wasn't he needed someone else to help Harry since now Snape will have a closer eye on him after class is done.
Harry sat there simply blinking at Snape. The professor then looked to the class and sneered. "Well, why aren't you all copying this down as well as the information Mr. Potter and Mr. Theo had shared?" Snape said as that got everyone working as they pulled out there quills and parchments and began writing down the notes of the information that was given to them by the two class members.
Snape then went over to the blackboard, on which a potions recipe had been written. "This is a simple potion to cure boils. I expect you to follow the instructions strictly, and to the letter! Otherwise, the consequences will be worse than me taking points from your House. Understood?"
A chorus of "Yes, Professor Snape" susurrated around the room, and they were paired off. Harry and Al worked together, naturally. And while their potion wasn't exactly perfect, Snape merely criticized one thing about it, compared to others. Hermione, working with Ron, got a grudging nod of approval considering Hermione took command of the potions creation.
Joseph had opted to work with Elisa as from them Snape was impressed that it and got the same nod of approval as Hermione had received which brought a smirk to the duo's shared success. Harry and Al were working on the potion themselves in a similar way to Joseph and Elisa own work method. "Hey um Al." Harry said as Al looked to Harry as she worked on the potion. "Thanks, for sticking up for me." Harry said as Al looked shocked as she blushed a bit at that particular Thank you as unlike her previous master Harry thanked her when it really counted.
"Don't mention it Harry you are my contract holder after all." Al stuttered as she blushed trying to look arrogant at it but the blushing and stuttering betrayed her bigtime.
"No don't!" Ron was heard but when Al saw this she and Harry quickly acted as Harry raised his hand and Al put her hand on his shoulder.
"Mystic Defense." Harry invoked creating a Mystic seal like shield between the pot and his two housemates appeared and blocked the screwed up potion from getting to their faces and hurting them. Neville Longbottom had somehow managed to melt Ron's cauldron. The potion inside burned a hole through the table and leaked onto the stone floor. Neville's screams filled the classroom as the other students quickly crawled on their stools for safety. Harry looked at Neville and immediately felt sorry for him even when he did save his face.
"Idiot boy!" Snape snarled and with one wave of his wand cleared the mess away. "I suppose you added the porcupine quills before taking the cauldron off the fire?" Snape scolded as Al scoffed as Joseph looked worried for Neville.
"Only an idiot would do that," Draco scoffed under his breath causing Joseph to send him a death glare shutting Draco up right there.
"Ten points from Gryffindor, Longbottom! Be thankful it isn't more." He scolded as he waved his wand, and the spilled potion, still contained within the energy field, vanished. Harry and Al released the energy field but Al on the other hand idly thought that the melted cauldron now looked like a work of abstract art. "And be thankful that something prevented this mess from splashing onto you and Miss Bones, or you'd be suffering from boils all over your skin. Faulty potions do not care if you are descended from Godric Gryffindor, or from Merlin himself!"
"Hey that could be used in an art museum maybe we can all screw up and put this as abstract art!" Joseph called out as everyone looked at him and laughed as Harry also joined in on that one.
The Potions class went on for some time longer. After it was finished, Snape told Joseph to stay behind as Joseph shrugged to that.
(After class)
"Mr. Theo I had heard of the incident on your first night here." Snape said as Joseph looked shocked but inside he was impressed a Slytherin had the balls to as the Americans say it, snitch.
"Are you here to scold me?" Joseph asked as he was expecting it to cause him points.
"No… in fact I was impressed with how you dealt with it, not many muggle born even those at your age have such skill and nerve to stop any harassment at the source in a true Slytherin way." Snape said as Joseph looked impressed but saw how Snape was trying to enter his mind again with Legitimacy ever so slightly.
Joseph won't deny he is good but it would take a lot more than that to peer into his mind like that. "Thank you, sir." Joseph said as he looked to Snape with a smile being humble about it all.
"But the way you and Ms. Elisa had brood that potions I must confess it was perfect, especially for one without any Wizarding origins." Snape said as Joseph looked confused.
"I suppose I was just lucky was all." Joseph said as he tried to play it off but saw Albus and Snape were playing mind games with the greatest mind in the world at large. "But Professor can I ask you something?" Joseph asked as he looked to Snape who looked confused for a second.
"Ask away then." Snape said figuring he might as well get this over with.
"I was wondering why you seem to try and make Harry as the dunderhead of the class I mean those questions you asked him were for advanced or upper year students so it was literally impossible for a first year to know them. It almost looked like you were targeting Harry." Joseph said as he looked to Snape who was visibly shocked that Joseph saw right through him so easily. "I tend to notice these things back in my old schools when a teacher would deliberately ask a particular student a question and it's usually because a sibling was his star student or caused him grief or his parents caused him some sort grief in school and the teacher ended up directing it at their child." Joseph said as Snape was shocked at this.
"That… is none of your concern." Snape said as Joseph nodded but showing he was willing to listen to the Slytherin head if he needs to get things off his chest one day.
"Is there anything else I can help you with Professor?" Joseph asked as he was curios why he was called like this after class but inside he knew Snape was trying to figure out Joseph.
"No you may go now." Snape said as Joseph nodded and took his leave from the classroom.
(Scene Break a few days later Friday Morning Great Hall)
It was currently study hall and both Joseph and Elisa weren't at the Slytherin table as everyone had finished breakfast for the day. As everyone was writing notes or doing homework Harry and Al saw a Gryffindor trying to cast a spell on the goblet filled with water. "What is Seamus trying to do to that glass of water?" Harry asked as he and Al knew this was going to end badly for the boy.
"Turn it to rum." Ron said as Al saw this.
"Yeah he should probably stop." Al said as Ron agreed with her.
"He managed to weave tea yesterday… before." Ron began only for the potion to blow up in Seamus face as Al and Hermione got the smoke away from their faces.
"That happened?" Al said as Ron nodded to that.
"Yeap." Ron said as the classmates on the table laughed at Seamus screw up right there. Soon the sound of owls was heard just as Joseph and Elisa walked into the great hall as everyone looked up to the sound of the postal owls flying in. "Ah mails here." Ron said as Joseph ran over to his spot at the Slytherin's table to pick up his mail from his Owl up above.
The Owls flew into the great hall through the open windows as Joseph and Elisa waited for their mail to arrive. One by one the owls dropped the mail into the recipient's hands as Joseph caught his which was a box from his father as Elisa caught hers which she smiled as she shook it at her ear seeing what it was clearly as day. Ron's mail arrived as he caught it and saw a letter was with it while Harry saw it also came with a rolled up newspaper of the Daily Prophet Newspaper.
In Harry's and Al's hand were letters addressed to them specifically as when they looked they were wide eyed at it being from the Marauders Organization as Harry carefully hid it as did Al to read it later. Harry soon saw the newspaper and grabbed it showing it to Ron. "Can I borrow this?" Harry asked as Ron simply nodded as he began to open it.
(With Joseph)
Joseph opened it and smiled as inside was his Walkman as Joseph had already designed some spells to counteract Hogwarts EMP Effects on electronics as he already planned to medicate with his songs on his mix tape. "Joseph your Walkman." Elisa smiled as she saw it.
"Yeah just need to apply some charms to shield it from the schools magic and I'll be listening to good old fashioned music in now time." Joseph said as he loved his tunes and his mix tape as they were soothing to him in many ways.
(Back at the Gryffindor table)
"Hey look Neville's got a Remember Orb." Came a young boy's voice as everyone looked and saw the orb being held in Neville's hands.
"I've read about those. If the smoke turns red it means you forgotten something." Hermione said as Al looked as that was basics right there for her.
"The only problem is I can't remember what I forgotten." Neville said as he looked at the orb in question trying hard to remember.
"Then you better think hard then Neville." Al said as she looked to Neville with a smirk on her face trying her hand at joking and implying it may be important for class later on.
"Hey Al Ron look at this." Harry said to his two friends on either side of him as he showed them the front page story. "Listen." Harry said but Al was the one who read.
"Believed to be the work of dark Wizards and Witches unknown Gringotts Goblins were acknowledging the breach insist that nothing was taken. The Vault in Question Number 713 had in fact been emptied earlier that very same." Al read as she looked at the image.
"Well is there a Black Lodge seal there?" Ron asked as he wondered if this was Master Therion's work.
"No it's odd because that's the vault Hagrid, All, and I went to." Harry admitted as he looked to his friends as they all agreed it was suspicious even if Master Therion's mark wasn't all over said vault in question now.
(Scene Break Friday Afternoon)
The two classes were talking as they were in the main pitch with broom sticks on the ground waiting for them. As they looked too said Broom Sticks Joseph and Elisa were talking while Hermione offered her two cents on Josephs endeavor to get his Walkman working in Hogwarts if the attempt could even succeed at all. Harry looked to Joseph as Joseph smiled and waved to Harry as Al scoffed clearly not enjoying what was to come next once class starts. Suddenly, as if out of appearing from nowhere, their instructor, Madam Hooch, appeared. She had short grey hair and eyes that looked like a hawk's. "Welcome to your first flying lesson, First Years," she greeted them. "Now, what are you all waiting for? Stand by a broomstick. Come on! Hurry up!"
The first year Slytherin's and Gryffindor's scrambled to find their places as Joseph seemed oddly excited as Elisa wasn't a keen flyer herself either much like Al was currently. Madam Hooch walked down the aisle between the Slytherin's and Gryffindor's, making sure each of them had followed her first direction before she gave the second. "Now, stick your right hand over the broom and say up."
Shouts of the word up echoed through the air. Much to everyone's surprise, Harry's broom flew into his hand after the first command. His wasn't the only one that actually worked on the first try, in fact Joseph had the exact same success as it seemed his talent was just as good as Harry's with this as to many it seems there talents and skills oddly mirrored each other almost perfectly like rivals. Malfoy's broom managed to get halfway off the ground before falling back to earth. Everyone else's broom managed to roll around a bit. Well, everyone but Neville Longbottom's. His broom stayed firmly planted on the ground, which was probably for the best.
Ron's broom then flew up and smacked him in the face before he and his broom fell to the ground as Al nearly doubled over in laughter but she and Elisa were soon the next two who got there brooms to their hands. Almost everyone managed to finally get their broom to fly into their hand. Well, everyone except for two people: Neville Longbottom, which really wasn't a surprise, and Hermione Granger. It got to the point that Neville and Hermione both had to pick their brooms off the ground so that Madam Hooch could continue with her lesson for the day. The next step was learning to mount the broom.
Madam Hooch then gave the first year's very specific instructions for their next task. "Now, when I blow my whistle, kick off from the ground, hard. Keep your brooms steady, rise a few feet, hover for a few seconds, and then come straight down by leaning forward slightly. Understood?"
"Yes, Madam Hooch," the first years responded before the Slytherin's and Gryffindor's mounted their brooms. She then started her countdown.
"On my whistle-three-two-" The instructor was almost to three when Longbottom got all nervous. He pushed off hard before she had given the command. It was obvious that Longbottom hadn't a clue what he was doing because when Madam Hooch told him to come back safely to the ground, he only seemed to rise higher and higher until he was over twenty feet in the air. "Mr. Longbottom! Mr. Longbottom!" Madam Hooch called as Joseph and Harry were in shock at this.
The Slytherin's were laughing at Nevil as Al wanted to laugh but even she was worried for the scared boy. They were mocking him and Joseph couldn't help but feel a little bad for him. But suddenly, the poor boy's room took off like a rocket. It zoomed higher and higher in the air. Longbottom shrieked like a little girl, which made the Slytherin's laugh harder. The boy then closed his eyes as his broom continued to rise. Madam Hooch still continued for Longbottom to get a proper hold of his broom, but to no avail. Longbottom's broom started to swerve and then he barrel-rolled through the air, headed straight for the stone wall of the castle.
The Slytherin's continued to hoot and holler at Longbottom's expense while the Gryffindor's waited in fear. Elisa and Al swore they heard Granger mutter something about losing House points because of this, which seemed rather insensitive given the situation. But then again, Hermione Granger only ever seemed concerned about herself. While Al had no personal draw to Longbottom, she just hoped that he didn't get seriously hurt and flattened like a crepe. She might not be very good at expressing emotions, but she wasn't heartless.
"Joseph we have to help him." Harry said as Joseph looked to his friend.
"Well we need to figure out where he's going to end up crashing so we can catch him." Joseph said as he looked at the room. "Give me a minute." Joseph said as he stuck his finger into his mouth and once it was out of said mouth he got wind current.
"What is he doing?" Hermione asked as Harry looked.
"Joseph was an advanced Student a child prodigy he can think and plan 20 steps ahead as needed and if one of those steps got ruined he can pull an ace he was saving for the right occasion to get victory." Harry said admitting Joseph was smarter then Hermione as Joseph was calculating the best possible spot to catch Neville without him getting seriously hurt.
Al closed her eyes and cringed after she watched Longbottom's broom crash in the stone wall. Not wanting to watch the show any longer, Al kept her eyes away from the scene. But that didn't stop her from hearing the thuds of his broom scraping the wall or the gasps that rippled through the first years. There was a moment of silence and Al wondered if it was all over, but Longbottom's screams filled the air once more as Madam Hooch continued to shout for him to gain control of his broom.
"Joseph hurry!" Harry called as Joseph looked.
"Don't rush me you know clocks throw me off." Joseph said as he brought into consideration everything they would need to help Neville. The group then dodged to avoid Neville hitting them as Joseph was lucky he had already been at a good spot as he soon finished his notes. "Ok done! Ron, Hermione get Madam Hooch and tell her where Neville is about to fall, show her my notes if you can. Harry, Al if she doesn't listen we need something the break his fall at… that spot right there!" Joseph called as he pointed to the spot under a statue like gargoyle.
Ron and Hermione took Joseph's calculation and ran over to Madam Hooch as Harry and Joseph with Al and Elisa's help began to look for something to break Neville's fall. Joseph then looked at Crabbe and got an idea as he smirked evilly at this. "Hey Crabbe!" Joseph called as Crabbe looked.
"What I'm enjoying this!" Crabbe called as Joseph smiled at Draco's dunderhead henchmen.
"I know where we can get a perfect spot to watch it with perfect view." Joseph said as that caught Crabbe's attention.
"Ok mate lead the way." Crabbe said as Joseph took Crabbe to the perfect spot.
"Is he going to?" Harry asked as he and Al saw this.
"Ok now Crabbe wait right here!" Joseph called as he smiled. "I'll get some snacks to watch the whole thing." Joseph lied as Crabbe nodded as he waited.
"Harry, Al Joseph! Madame Hooch won't listen she's focused on trying to help Neville!" Hermione called as she ran over to Harry.
"Joseph has this covered." Harry said as Hermione and Ron saw that Joseph is about to use her housemate as a human trampoline. Soon Neville was hanging by his cloak by the highest statue as Joseph looked at this as Hermione couldn't watch. Soon the cloak tore as Neville fell and his cloak caught on another pointed statue which then Neville ended up slipping out of as when he did Crabbe broke Neville's fall as Crabbe cried out in pain.
"Success!" Joseph called out as he basically saved Neville's life.
Madam Hooch approached the two as she wondered how Crabbe got there but luckily Neville was ok but he might have some other injuries that may need a look over as it seems he was in some sort of pain. Madam Hooch then helped the two boys up and saw Crabbe had a broken arm from breaking Neville's fall and a possible screwed up spine as Joseph and Harry fist bumped each other for Joseph's quick thinking. Then, she turned toward the class and said, "Leave those brooms where they are or you'll be out of Hogwarts before you can even say Quidditch." She warned as she then took the two injured boys to the healer's office.
When Hooch was gone with Crabbe and Neville Hermione looked to Joseph and Harry in shock. "That was incredible you two, how did you figure how where Neville would fall in such a short time span?!" Hermione asked Joseph as Joseph smiled.
"I'm at my best under pressure plus I was enrolled in the advance classes for higher learning back in school and I could have gotten a College degree early if Hogwarts didn't send me an acceptance of enrollment letter." Joseph explained as Hermione was shocked that Joseph was in an Institution for higher learners before coming to Hogwarts.
Malfoy meanwhile bend down and pick something up before he squeezed whatever it was and looked at her with a glint in his eye. It was then Al noticed what was in Malfoy's hand: the glass orb from this morning's parade in front of the Gryffindor's. The annoying prat tossed the orb in the air and then easily caught it. The tension from the Gryffindor's was rising. Malfoy then tossed the object once more directly in front of Harry this time, as if he were taunting him. Looking at Harry, it was obvious that he was trying to hold his emotions, despite the clear distaste for Malfoy written over his face.
"Maybe if the fat lub had given this a squeeze, he'd remembered to fall on his fat arse," Malfoy taunted with a chuckle before tossing it into the air and catching it again.
Harry broke. He took a step forward and held his hand out. "Give it here, Malfoy!" Harry hissed.
Malfoy looked appalled at the fact that Harry was challenging him. He sneered before tossing the orb again. "To you? No," Malfoy scoffed. "I think I'll leave it somewhere for Longbottom to find." Malfoy said das he got his broom ready.
"And where would that be blondie?" Joseph asked as he glared at Malfoy ready to jump the annoying pest.
Draco then began to fly on his broom as Joseph clenched his fists as Harry glared at Draco. "How 'bout on the roof?" Draco said as he flew by and into the air above as Harry and Joseph looked at each other and nodded as they had a silent idea on how to deal with Draco and his pureblood brainwashed blond head together.
"Harry, don't do it you don't know how to fly!" Hermione warned as Harry smiled.
"I got this." Harry said as Al smiled at Harry as Harry flew up on the Broom torts Draco.
"What an idiot." Hermione said as Al smiled.
"Hey I live with him so I should know." Al said as Joseph smiled.
"Plus a heroic idiot needs a heroic genius to help him out." Joseph said as he got on his own broom and flew low so Draco wouldn't notice as Hermione was shocked at this.
"Well at least both our houses will lose points." Elisa said as she looked to Hermione.
(In the air)
Harry arrived in front of Draco as Harry glared at him. "Give it here Malfoy or I'll knock you off your broom!" Harry yelled as Draco smirked as Joseph silently crept up behind Draco on his own Broom after flying low.
"Is that so?" Draco asked as he was tossing the orb up and down on his hand just as Harry smirked while Draco felt a right index and middle finger tap his shoulder as he looked and to his shock saw Joseph.
"Yeah and if he doesn't I will, like right now!" Joseph called out as he tried to charge at Draco to punch him but Draco was able to spin just in time to avoid the attack as Joseph now flew next to Harry.
"Have it your way then you disgusting little Mud Blood and Blood Traitor." Draco said before he threw the orb to the distance as Joseph and Harry were wide eyed.
"Go long!" Joseph called as he and Harry soon chased after the Remember Orb to save it from getting smashed.
(With Joseph)
Joseph flew to the far side and signaled Harry where it was about to land as he pointed to the window as Harry nodded before the two began heading straight to a window in particular where the Remember Orb was about to land into.
(From the Window view)
Minerva and Snape were having a sort of heated discussion as they spoke of the recent star student of Hogwarts from Slytherin as it seems Snape and Minerva were in the process of trying to decide of Joseph should be in an advance class since the boy seemed ahead of his pears in his studies. Soon Minerva gasped at the window when she saw Harry and Joseph flew to the window and both caught an orb before turning around as the two got into a hopping toss fumble for a bit but in the end Harry caught it as Snape was also surprised and impressed by this.
The two teachers looked at each other as if trying to confirm what they saw was real and not an illusion their minds decided to play on them. But it was impossible for them to have the same mirage happen to their eyes in most cases so they both confirmed it was real.
(Later back to the class)
The two flew back as Harry held the orb in question as Joseph chose to land early and let Harry enjoy the spot light of this victory as Joseph went to the side but Ron saw Joseph simply walking away. "Oi Joseph it's your victory also mate!" Ron called as anyone who tried to help Harry and punch Draco all in one day as well as assist Neville was a friend in Ron's eyes even if they are from different houses.
In turn Joseph was dragged into the crowd as everyone congratulated Joseph and Harry as Joseph blushed and scratched his nose at the praise as Elisa stepped up and hugged Joseph glad he was ok. Al grabbed Harry and used a toy hammer she had and hit Harry over the head with it even if said hammer didn't hurt Harry in any way.
Soon Snape and McGonagall walked up to the group as they looked for the two in question.
"Joseph Theo!" Snape called as Joseph was shocked.
"I'm in trouble." Joseph said as Snape glared.
"Come with me." Snape hissed as Joseph gulped before following as ordered.
"Yes sir." Joseph said as he then began to follow Snape.
"Harry Potter!" Minerva called as Harry knew one thing was for sure and that he and Joseph can say goodbye to Hogwarts.
"Uh oh." Al said as she and Elisa were shocked by this.
"Follow me." Minerva said as Al cringed as Harry followed the Cat Animagus Teacher to whatever fate awaits him today.
(Later with Joseph and Snape Mr. Flitwick's Class)
The two arrived outside of Flitwick's classroom as he was teaching some Slytherin's and Ravenclaws as Joseph gulped a bit as Joseph saw Snape might be getting a bat of sorts or worse… a punishment charm for him. "Remain here." Snape warned as Joseph saw he had the chance to run, or make his punishment worse like a Crucio. "Professor Flitwick may I borrow Mr. Flint for a moment." Snape said as Flitwick looked.
"Of course Professor." Flitwick said as soon Snape came back with the Slytherin in question.
'Oh this looks good.' Joseph thought as he looked to Marcus who was a grey eyed young man.
"I shall go straight to the point Mr. Marcus Flint meet Joseph Theo who is now your new seeker after the recent accident of the previous one." Snape said as he remembered how that idiot ended up ruining a potion which benched him from Quiddich for the rest of the school term.
"As they say across the pond, Snape say what, now?" Joseph asked as he was shocked by this revelation of him being the new seeker.
(With Harry)
Harry was guided by Minerva as the two made their way to another classroom and once they arrived Minerva stopped him. "You wait here." Minerva said with a stern voice but Harry saw she was having trouble hiding her own joy and excitement at some new recent discovery.
Minerva walked into Professor Quarrel's classroom as she found him teaching a class there as well. "Professor Quarrel excuse me could I borrow Mr. Wood for a moment please." Minerva said as Quarrel simply nodded. "W-why y-yes of course." He stuttered as the Student in Question got up and headed to Minerva to find Harry waiting outside for her as told to do by the head of The Gryffindor House.
Once outside the teacher began the introductions. "Potter this is Oliver Wood." Minerva introduced as Harry was surprised by this. "Wood I have found you a Seeker." Minerva said with joy as Harry was surprised by this new information being brought to him.
(Scene Break Albus Dumbledore Office that Night)
Albus was looking at the Family tree of Joseph as it seems Gringotts had a Vault made for him which had ended up connecting to another one as it belonged to another Student and a former member of the Order of the Phoenix. One Nero Theron who was as far as he knew the first member who went dark during the War with Voldemort. She had lost trust in Dumbledore who kept telling her that it was for the greater Good. Apparently Nero didn't agree and she saw there none killing tactics didn't change anything except made the Order lose many battles during the war.
Nero in turn had chosen to act on her own and took the lives of many Death Eaters without giving them a chance and in turn she had the highest Death Eater Kill count which Albus had no choice but to banish her from the order calling her dark. Nero of course argued that this was the real world and in the real world war meant killing and in war when your life is in danger it was either you or them.
Nero was also know to defy the Dark Lord Thrice but when she went Dark Dumbledore assumed The Prophesy didn't apply to her but at the twilight hours of the War Nero had all but vanished. Lily also vanished but came back a month later saying she was in this strange place filled to the brim with magic that she called Arkham. Albus heard the stories and the fact Lily was gone for a whole month may point she had come into contact with Arkham and was trapped there for a whole month.
Of course she had saw Nero there with her and after that Month Lily told them to watch out for Nero or as she called herself the Dark Queen Tyrant. Needless to say Tyrant had caused a great deal of damage to the wizarding World and had vowed to tear down the barrier with her own two hands if she must. Then when Lily was pregnant with Harry Tyrant vanished and after the war she had her secret weapon were never heard from ever again until this day.
Soon Albus charms went off one by one as he looked and saw someone had apparated into his office with a load pop as that shouldn't even be possible in the slightest as some of the items he appeared in was blown away.
*Insert Final Fantasy VII Advent Children OST: For the Reunion
"I've heard you wish to seek an audience with me Professor Albus Dumbledore Lord of Light." Came a voice as Albus saw him. "If that is so, you simply needed to ask." Master Therion said as he walked over to Albus.
"So you're the new Dark Lord Master Therion." Albus said as he looked to Master Therion walking to Albus desk with his shoes making audible taps on the ground.
"I must confess I do hate your kind of people as well as liars." Master Therion confessed as walked to Albus.
"I apologize for your dislike Master Therion but I had expected someone of your reputation to be… older." Albus said as he was ready to use his Elder Wand but it seems Master Therion meant no harm or conflict for now. "But what are you accusing me of lying about?" Albus asked as Master Therion walked in front of Albus desk wiping his hand across the surface of the ancient wood.
"For starters how you lied to the Ministry of Dark Queen Tyrant demise." Joseph began as he walked to the pensive. "Or the fact you couldn't even read the Prophesy correctly when it wasn't simply referring to Harry and Voldemort." Master Therion said as Albus saw he was looking at the epiphany of darkness itself.
"It seems I was careless on both parts but what does Harry have to do with this?" Albus asked as Joseph smirked.
"Try translating H.P. Lovecraft's Notes and you'll understand quiet easily." Master Therion said as he then snickered. "Oh my apologies I forget your kind can't understand how H.P. Lovecraft hidden the true aspect of his research using the Language of the Eldritch Gods." Master Therion said as he looked away from Albus face to the other end of the Headmaster's main office here. "But I suppose I can give you a small hint, you need someone like me or a Grimoire to translate it for you and as for what I want with Harry… I want him at the peak of strength when I eventually face him in the final duel." Master Therion said as he looked to Albus with an evil smirk.
"Wait your final duel?" Albus asked as Master Therion snickered a bit at the old Headmasters hubris and lack of knowledge.
"Harry and I cannot truly live while the other survives." Master Therion said as he looked. "Now I want answers did you know where Tyrant or Voldemort had hidden?" Master Therion asked taking command.
"I do not know." Albus said as Master Therion chuckled.
"Is that so?" Master Therion asked as he looked to Albus.
"I swear." Albus said as Master Therion snickered at this.
"Then swear on these." Master Therion said as he pulled out two folded up parchments and tossed them to Albus who looked at them to find blood splattered information on them showing Albus shock was the information on Andromeda Tonks and Galloran Greengrass both of who aided Dumbledore in the Order. If these blood splatters were correct then Andromeda and Galloran were both attacked by Master Therion and the Black Lodge.
"Why are you doing this?" Albus asked with a deep hated glare at the Dark Lord before him.
"I am the heir to Tyrant the greatest Dark Witch the world has ever seen like me she had formed a contract with an Eldritch God and in turn resulted into me." Master Therion said showing as much bravado as he felt like as it seemed he didn't mind leaving himself defenseless. "Me, and my Black Lodge are preparing for the Grand Resurrection with Project-C to summon forth a powerful Elder God." Master Therion said as he smiled. "The invitations have already been sent out but of course Fate decided to give the guest of honor to another." Master Therion said as he smiled to the heavens high on above.
"Invitations?" Albus asked as he was confused.
"Those tainted by the Darkness and had made the Dark Vow not everyone will show mind you but just enough to ensure my end game." Master Therion said as he walked to the side as his coat fluttered a bit to his movement.
"Tyrant is no longer among the world of the living but you have the item I need to bring her back in a new form." Master Therion said as he looked to Albus. My father on the other hand his power lives on in this world and makes it so but alas the Stone is needed for the first phase." Master Therion said as he glared at Albus with hatred. "She has done so much for me and left me a legacy to finish and my father does so much the problem is people like you keep them from coming." Master Therion said as he glared straight at Professor Dumbledore.
"A true Dark Lord who stands upon the summit of Darkness as the human extreme of evil, and a True King of Light who sits upon the Heavenly Throne as the human extreme of Light aren't enough to make my goal a reality." Master Therion said as he looked. "Right now Tyrant is needed or at least her power to complete the task I endeavor to see bear fruit." Master Therion said as Albus glared at him.
"What are you talking about?" Albus asked as Master Therion then turned to Albus.
"But Professor surely you noticed." Master Therion said as he walked to Albus' desk before he kneeled to it. Soon Albus felt it this young man… his power dwarfed both Dumbledore and Voldemort's combined as he began to lift his head up as there in his cold aloof and blank face Albus saw it Master Therion's nightmarish father and with him Tyrant as both of them flashed in Albus' minds in Master Therion's position as Albus felt like he was being suffocated as this young man was evil incarnate.
Soon what felt like eternity it ended as Albus found himself on his desk again and Master Therion was now gone as it seems Master Therion and Harry's fates are linked somehow but the way Master Therion moved showed he did not fear a challenger.
(At Gryffindor's Common Room)
Harry and Al opened the letters as they looked the two letters over.

"Well Harry duty calls huh." Al said as Harry nodded to this.
"Yeah let's go." Harry said as they had to head to HQ and the only way was through the Greengrass family's a dresser Network.
"Ok then let's go already, Harry you're not getting any younger y'know considering humans age more than us Grimoire." Al said as she looked to the Dresser they had added down here and entered it as in doing so made their way to HQ through said magical Dresser.
