Harry hurried off to lunch. He still didn't know how he knew what he did to help the ghost. Maybe it was a power blocked before. He would ask Severus later if there was a magical abilities test or something. He saw Neville was waiting for him. He looked excited.

" There you are! I got a new wand. I can't believe it. Cherry and Holly with Phoenix feather and Unicorn hair. 12 inches. I've never felt so connected to my magic. Thank you so much Harry.", Neville said before giving him a quick hug and practically bouncing over to the Gryffindor table. Harry hadn't been able to get a word in. He smiled and sat down at his own table. A beautiful red phoenix flamed in, dropped Harry a note, and flamed out.

Dear Mr. Potter,
I would like to see you today after classes. Lemon drops are a particular favorite of mine.- Albus Dumbledore

Harry quickly made eye contact with his uncle and brought the note to the forefront of his mind. Severus' eyes widen slightly and then nodded. Translation: he would be there. Harry finished his food and went to charms. Yet another class with the Gryffindors. It went like before only this time Harry earned another 5 points for performing the color changing charm first. They walked out of Charms with an essay due Friday. It was on the way to Potions that Ron finally spoke to him.

" Hey Potter! How does it feel to be a disgrace to your parents' name? You were suppose to be a Gryffindor, but instead you're a Snake. I bet your parents are turning in their graves.", Ron said loudly. They were outside the Potions' door now. " I think they would have been proud Mr. Weasley. After all Slytherin is the house of cunning and ambition. Just because there have been a few bad wizards who came from this house, doesn't mean we're all that way. I happen to know for a fact at least one Gryffindor had joined Voldemort.", Harry replied.

Ron didn't get a chance to reply as the door opened to allow them inside. Once they were all settled, Severus started off with safety measures. This hadn't happened in the last time line. He talked in depth about following the instructions carefully, so as to not accidentally blow anything up and if they thought they somehow missed a step in the brewing process, to let him know immediately. More than likely he would be able to show them how to correct the error and salvage their potion. By the time class was over, several questions had been answered and all safety measures had been discussed. They were to write an essay on the importance of safety in brewing to be turned in Friday like the other essays for their other subjects.

Severus waited until the other students left before speaking to Harry. " Are you ready to see what Dumbledore wants?", he asked. " Definitely. I just hope I'm not in trouble. I don't remember breaking the rules.", Harry faked nervousness. " I believe he just wants to see what makes you tick. Come along.", Severus said. " Uncle Severus is there a potion to let you know what kind of magical abilities you have?", Harry asked. " Yes there is. I was going to take one later this evening myself. It would also reveal if we had any creature blood. While a heritage test is useful to find out names of family members, a magical tests tells you abilities and creature inheritance. Come to my office after dinner.", he said as they walked to Albus' office. Harry gave the password and before they knew it, they were standing in front of the office door.

They entered the familiar round office. " Ah Harry and Severus. I'm glad you're here. I've been meaning to ask what happened to you my dear boy?", Albus said with fake concern. Severus arched an eyebrow. " Apparently my Grandfather passed away and I have claimed my Lordship. When I put on my ring it severed some bindings that were placed on me. Probably the Dark Lord's work.", Severus said carefully. Albus looked relieved, but inwardly was seething. He calmed though when he thought about how Severus didn't know about his other titles.

" Very well then. It's good to see you in such health. Now Harry how has your first day been? Quite a shock I imagine. If your housemates are troubling you don't hesitate to seek me out. I would have you resorted in an instant.", Dumbledore said, eyes twinkling at the prospect. " I love it here. Today has been great. I thank you for your concern. I like my house very much. It's where I belong. Besides my Great Grandma Dorea Black was a Slytherin. Did you know that my mother was adopted and that she had a brother? I was ever so excited when I found out. The Dursleys weren't the nicest muggles you see. I lived in a cupboard under the stairs until Professor Prince found me. They withheld food as punishment and Dudley would beat me up sometimes. Uncle Vernon would mostly just throw me in my cupboard when he got tired of looking at such a freak like me. Aunt Petunia made me do all the housework inside and out too. So I was very grateful that once my real Uncle was contacted that he took over guardianship. Imagine if I had been left there. Anyway this whole experience has been wicked.", Harry said almost bouncing with happiness.

Albus' smile became somewhat fixed. " Well... I... am glad you don't have to suffer such... cruelty any longer. Who is this Uncle by the way? I want to make sure and thank him for keeping you safe.", Albus said. He dreaded the answer. " You'll never guess. I was so happy when I found out he was already with me. Professor Prince is my Uncle. Isn't that great? I can't believe he's a Potion Master already. He's wicked smart. Did you know he also has a Mastery in DADA, Charms, Herbology, Transfiguration, Arithmacy, and Ancient Runes? I hope I can be half as talented when I grow up.", Harry gushed.

Severus blushed a little at that statement. Albus' smile faded completely. " I didn't know you were so accomplished.", Albus glared at him. " Nor did the Dark Lord. It's almost dinner time. Are we done here?", he asked. " For now. You may go.", Albus said. They left with the feeling of holes being bored into their backs.

Severus and Harry parted ways once they got the Great Hall. Harry quickly went over to Neville and asked him if he wanted to join in his workout sessions. Neville agreed and Harry made his way towards the Slytherin table. He wasn't paying attention and ran right into someone. Strong arms steadied him and he looked up to see a 4th year Cedric Diggory.

The blood drained from Harry's face as he looked at an alive Cedric. To his horror tears sprang to his eyes. " I'm so sorry Cedric. It won't happen again.", Harry said before bolting out of the Great Hall leaving a very confused Cedric just standing wondering if he accidentally hurt the little firstie.

Harry collapsed somewhere inside the Forbidden Forest after tripping on a tree root. He fell down hard, scraping his palms and knees in the process along with the right side of his face. He just curled up where he fell, not caring where he was. Images flashed through his mind of all the people who were killed. He hadn't been given time to process or grieve in his last time and it was all still so fresh. He cried himself hoarse until he fell asleep utterly exhausted.

He woke up briefly to the feeling of being carried. It was dark out and you could see the light of the stars. He could hear shouts in the distance calling his name. Whoever was carrying him stopped and passed him over to the familiar arms of his Uncle.

" Thank you Bane. I don't know what happened. How did he seem to you when you found him?", Severus asked the centaur. " I watched him as he cried as if the world itself was bleeding. Keep the child safe young Dark Angel. He is the purest soul I have seen in a great many season. He will one day change the very foundation of the magical world.", Bane said. He knew the boy had come back from the future, but it did not change the facts. " Perhaps when you come to collect your ingredients you should bring him along. The whole forest heard his cry and would like to meet one with such a heart.", Bane parted with.

Severus just stared where Bane had been a few moments ago. He shook his head and looked down at Harry's tear stained face. He was bleeding from some cuts, but otherwise seemed fine. He was startled when sleepy green eyes met his.

" Harry, you gave me quite a fright. Can you tell me what happened?", Severus asked gently as he made his way back up to the castle. Harry felt like crying again, but was too drained. He decided to stick as close to the truth as possible. " When I ran into Cedric, I got a flash of some sort of tournament. For some reason I was there with him as we came to a clearing that had a golden goblet. We both touched the goblet and then we were transported to a cemetery. A fat balding man shouted a spell and a sickly green light hit Cedric. He was dead in an instant.", Harry said softly. Emotion overwhelmed him again and he fell back asleep.

Severus sighed. Hadn't the boy been through enough? Now it would seem he was a bit of a Seer. He held Harry close as they got to the castle. Cedric Diggory stood there looking worried.

" Is he alright? I didn't hurt him did I?", the boy asked. " No Mr. Diggory. He will be fine. He caught a glimpse of your future it would seem and it frightened him badly.", Severus told him. Cedric quickly worked it out. " I died.", he whispered. Severus nodded. " How?", he asked quietly. " Some kind of tournament. The closest thing I could think of would be the Tri-Wizard Tournament. There have been talks about bringing it back. You have to be seventeen to enter, so I'm guessing that would be your 7th year and Harry's 4th. Apparently somehow he is with you when it happened.", Severus explained. Cedric just nodded. " Thank you for being honest with me. Tell Harry I said everything will be fine. If the tournament comes I won't be competing." " I will let him know. Have a good evening Mr. Diggory.", Severus said before taking Harry down to his personal quarters.
