New Life Needed
Chapter 2
Harry stayed in his seat until the other students' left in which he then strode confidently to the Headmaster. Only his parents and Dumbledore remained, although Siri and Remy were listening at the door with extendable ears.
"Harry, my boy! Where have you been?" Dumbledore asked with that annoying twinkle in his eye. Harry simply replied
"None of your business with all due respect sir. I have been safe and happy which is all that concerns you. Now if you could show me where I'll be sleeping?" Dumbledore nearly shuddered at Harry's tone. James was the first to come out of his stunned stupor. He grabbed Harry by the scruff of the neck; Harry decided to play weak little kid for the minute.
"I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE PLAYING AT BOY, BUT YOU WILL LEAVE AND NEVER EVER COME BACK!" Harry lost his composure and lost his grip on his temper, he grasped his Father's wrist and literally tossed him away. In a quiet, deadly voice worthy of Slytherin he said
"You cannot boss me around, Father. I am of age therefore I demand half of the Potter fortune in compensation for disowning me whilst I was under the age of 11." His mother paled even more dramatically as she helped his father up. Harry smirked cruelly. "You thought I would act like a Gryffindor, act first, and think later, didn't you? That I would disown you two as my parents without demands? How foolish of you both, disownment is a two-way process, which is why it is an idiotic mistake to disown a child before they reach 11, they have time to research disownment before they can disown when they reach the age of consent and legally disown their parents." Both his parents were gob smacked. What happened to their push over eldest son? Who was this cool, calculated, intelligent young man before them?
Dumbledore, in that moment, realised who he was. But did he know it? Dumbledore tried and failed to access his mind through legimens. Even so, it was only via his own knowledge of both myth and law that made him realise.
Harry's smirk widened as his parents ran out the room, presumably to call a lawyer.
"Well, Professor, you were going to tell me where my rooms were." It was more a demand then a question.
"Well, see here Harry, I have no idea where the rooms of Merlin are so I would say you may as well stay in Gryffindor tower for the time being." Harry saw his plot a mile away.
"And stay within your spies ranks? Yeah right, I 'll ask Hogwarts' spirit." Harry focused on his magical core and the walls glowed as they spoke for him and Dumbledore to hear.
"Well Young heir, you simply have to tap into your magical core and ask for the way which should give you images of directions. Oh, and whilst the Headmaster is listening, if he completely disregards the Founder's rules I may just lock him out of his quarters, you have been granted the rights and responsibilities of a Head boy, but your title is 'Apprentice to the Founders', also you can give or take house points and give detentions or erase detentions for good reasons, else I will disregard it. For rewards you will be given knowledge and training by myself in lost, forgotten parts of me (aka this castle). You can access other houses as long as a member of that house is with you. I do believe that's it. Congrats my young one, do talk to me once in a while, it gets awfully lonely being an inanimate object." The glow subsided and Harry bid the shocked Headmaster goodnight and went to his Quarters located in the Astromany tower, yet no one could have prepared Harry for what lay inside.
