Chapter 6
She was mad. No correction, she was pissed of at Ronald Weasley.
As Hermione Granger stomped down the hallway students who were passing by exchanged looks and seemed to give her room to walk away. She felt like pulling out Ron's hair on the quidditch pitch but she just slapped him.
'Stupid' she thought, 'should of ripped his hair out.'
When she reached the Fat Lady, she gave Hermione a wary look.
"Passw-"
"Gillyweed!" Hermione cut her off as the door swung open. As Hermione entered the Gryffindor common room she heard a 'Humph!' She rolled her bloodshot eyes as she walked over to one of the couches near the fire, she sighed as she sat down.
'God, why does he halve to be such an ass all the time!' she thought as another angry tear rolled down her cheek, she wiped it away quickly before anyone could notice but it was too late.
"Hermione" said familiar voice, "are you okay?"
"Hey Neville" said Hermione, turning to face him as he sat down beside her. "I'm fine, I just came from Quidditch practise."
"You don't look okay" he said. "Your eyes are all red. Did Ron say something mean to you again?"
She sighed 'Might as well tell him...he's going to find out anyway.'
She nodded "He called me a mu-" she wasn't able to finish once she saw Ron and the rest of the team walk through the portrait.
'Oh God, heaven help me' she thought as Ron came up to her.
"Hermione there you are I've been looking everywhere for you. Listen I'm sorry. I didn't mean to call you a mudblood. I wasn't thinking. I'm sorry, please forgive me, please," he said with a pleading look on his face.
"It's not going to work Ron" said Ginny behind him
"Why not she always forgives me" said Ron turning to look at Ginny as she rolled her eyes.
"She's right Ron" said Neville, standing up and picking up the Gryffindor courage after noticing more tears starting to spill out of Hermione's eyes, "just leave Hermione alone, she doesn't want to speak to you."
"This doesn't concern you Neville!" said Ron, his face turning red as everyone in the common room seemed to be listening to the argument.
"Yes it does concern me because I'm Hermione's friend unlike you" said Neville, getting into Ron's face. "You and her only seem to do is fight and that's not how friends work!"
"The only reason Hermione is your friend is because she feels sorry for you because your so dimwitted!" said Ron, as everyone in the room gasped, but Neville wasn't about to back down.
"Ron!" said Hermione, standing up and going between Ron and Neville, but Ron pushed her out of the way.
"Look who's talking Ron. You only seem to be Hermione's friends because she's smart, and since she is smart she can help with you homework" said Neville smiling as Ron blushed but wasn't finished with his insults. "Hell, the only reason most people, including myself, think you were Harry's friend was because he was famous and you thought you could benefit by being his friend. But when he was sentenced to Azkaban you dropped his friendship as if it were a fucking plague! Oh, and don't call me dimwitted! At least I am actually good at one class, unlike you, who if it weren't for Harry and Hermione helping you out throughout your time in Hogwarts you would still be in the first year students level of magic!" said Neville, who was at this point completely red with anger.
"You know what Longbottom, I'm surprised that your brave enough to step up to me like this...maybe I should go to St. Mungo's to go meet your mentally ill parents of yours and tell them th-"
Ron wasn't able to finish for Neville had punched Ron right in the nose, then tackled him to the floor...both of them trying to hit each other, as the whole room filled with shrieks and panic and excited talking.
"Somebody go get a teacher!"
"Oh my god, who knew Neville's parents were mentally ill?!"
"Merlin, look at Neville go!"
"I've never seen Neville so angry before."
"Tell me about it, who knew he could punch either?"
Both boys were throwing kicks and punches at each other not noticing the talking nor the yelling for them both to stop.
"You guys get off each other!" said Ginny.
"Ron, Neville stop it!" said Hermione, trying to get one them of the other but was unsuccessful. "This isn't like you guys!"
Finally the portrait swung open and in came Professor McGonagall and a younger student who seemed to be in there second year.
"What in Merlin's name is going on here!?!" yelled Professor McGonagall, as everyone quickly stopped talking except for the two boys on the floor who were grunting and yelling from each others kicks and punches.
"Mr. Longbottom and Mr. Weasley!" she yelled, but they didn't hear her so she took out her wand and yelled an incantation separating the both boys apart.
After they were flung from each others grasps they both finally notice her. They both got up sore and weak but there eyes were wide with fear for how much trouble they were both going to be in for getting into a fight, a physical fight too.
"Mr. Longbottom and Mr. Weasley, could you both please tell me why exactly you were both fighting?"
"It's my fault professor, Neville-"
"I wasn't asking you Ms. Granger" said McGonagall look at her very sternly. "Mr. Longbottom, could you please tell me why you and Mr. Weasley were both fighting?"
"Well uhh..." said Neville who seemed to have lost his courage. "I saw Hermione crying, and I asked her why she was crying, but she didn't want to tell me, and when she was about to tell me but Ron came up to her begging that he was sorry for calling Hermione something, I don't know what...but I decided to tell him to leave her alone. He then told me this wasn't any of my business, but I told him it was since Hermione is my friend so it did concern me. I also told him that both he and Hermione weren't exactly friends because all they do is fight."
"You don't have to explain everything Mr. Longbottom, just tell me what started the fight" said McGonagall impatiently.
"Well Ron insulted my parents and then I..." he said but seemed to not want to finish the sentence.
"Yes, continue" said McGonagall.
"The pra bunched me an den tackled me to the bloor!" yelled Ron who seemed to have a broken nose as McGonagall turned her head to face Ron.
"He punched you, then tackled you to the floor?"' she asked as Ron nodded.
She sighed turning back to Neville. "Is that true Mr.Longbottom?"
He nodded as she sighed again. "Well I'm quite surprised that you did that Mr. Longbottom, but I'm going to have to give you and Mr. Weasley both a month detention for fighting."
"WHA!" yelled Ron blood from his noise splattering everywhere. "A mont! I can't hab degention bor a mont!"
"I'm sorry Mr. Weasley, you were fighting him as well. You're both very lucky that I don't take away your Quidditch and Hogsmead weekend privileges. Also you both may want to go to see Madam Promfrey about your bruises" said McGonagall, walking back towards the portrait door but stopped as it opened. "Oh yes and by the way, detentions start tomorrow at my office at 6" she said as they nodded then walked out the portrait door followed by Neville.
After she left Ron turned around to talk to Hermione but she wasn't there. There were only students staring at him, some of them shaking there head or whispering to another's ear. He walked up to Ginny.
"Where's Hermione?" he asked, but she just shook her head and headed up to the girls dormitory. He sighed heading for the portrait door.

The sun was now fully risen at the mansion. The light poured through the window making everything in the room shine bright.
Harry Potter was just merely sleeping, but unbeknownst to him...he was floating 3 feet above his bed as the light seemed to hit his face, not bothering him like it used to, but seemed to give him energy.
He took a deep breath as he stirred slightly and awoke from his dream. 'Is the ceiling closer than usual' he thought sleepily.
He reached beside him for his sheets only encountering empty air. Suddenly, gravity took affect and he dropped from the air and landed half on bed with a soft thud.
"What the bloody hell was that?" he said to himself looking around for some sign. 'How in the world did I just drop out of the air? I must have been dreaming' he thought writing the fall off as a dream.
He shook his head wiping the sleep from his eyes before look at the clock; it was 1:17 pm. He got up and headed for the bathroom, he turned on the water and splashed some in his face smiling broadly.
'Damn that was weird. I wonder if it will happen again?' thought Harry.
(X)
"God what's taking Harry so long!" whined Kitty. "We were supposed to be at the mall by now!"
"Just because you all are taking Harry to the mall to get some new clothes doesn't mean you have to go so early" said Jean as Kitty sighed.
"But there is a sale today and I need a new halter top" she complained as the boys snorted.
"Need or want?" said Bobby smirking at a now scowling Kitty.
Kurt, Bobby, Colossus, Kitty, Rogue, Sam, Warren, and Jay were sitting at the kitchen table with Jean helping herself to some orange juice.
"You do know that someone could go up to wake him up" said Jay as he moved his shirt around trying to get his wings perfectly comfortable.
Kitty slapped her forehead muttering "stupid, stupid, stupid!"
"Why didn't you say that before" said Kurt, about to teleport in front of Harry's room but Harry came in the kitchen before he did it.
'There you are" said Warren. "God you can sleep a lot!"
"We've been waiting for you for ages" said Rogue.
"Okay I'll bite, why the hell are you all waiting for me?" asked Harry.
"We're going to the mall to get you some of your own clothes and Peter is driving us there" said Kurt, spitting out pieces of food in the process, much to the dismay of everyone present.
"Yes, and if we don't go soon Kitty might die from lack of new halter top" said a laughing Bobby earning a death glare from Kitty.
"Well who am I to stand in the way of Kitty and a new halter top" said Harry, walking in slow motion to get milk to annoy Kitty, earning an equal death glare from Kitty that she just gave to Bobby.
"You both are jerks!" said Kitty in frustration. Harry and Bobby laughed.
"Anyways, sorry I guess" said Harry. "I seemed to have slept a bit to well."
"Oh, how well?" asked Jean getting some cereal.
"I'm tellin' ya, i was literally floating" said Harry as Jean gave him his Cheerios cereal. "Thanks Aunt Jean."
"Your welcome" she said smiling, happy that he is now calling her Aunt Jean. "I know you guys are in a rush, so might as well help before Kitty goes nuts."
They all laughed except Kitty.
"Not funny guys, I really need a new top" she said as everyone calmed down. "So Harry you say you were literally floating as you slept?"
Harry nodded shoving a spoonful of cereal in his mouth, then quickly swallowing it. "Yeah when I woke up I was floating 3 feet above my bed."
"Yeah right" said Bobby laughing.
"No really, my biological father said I would have the power of flight, remember? I already told you guys this before" said Harry waiting for everyone to remember.
"Oh now I remember" said Peter. "Man I would love to have that power."
"Well technically I still don't have that power yet. Not until I can learn to do it on my own and whenever I want to" said Harry.
"Guys, as interesting as this conversation is it's now 5 minutes to 2:00 pm, come on we have to go!" said Kitty looking at the clock on the kitchen wall clearly getting more frustrated, if that were possible.
"Harry will you please hurry up man before I go insane from Kitty's constant bitching" said Bobby.
"Alright just give me a second here to wash this" said Harry before he super speeded into cleaning up everyone's dishes then headed over to Jean. "See you later Aunt Jean."
"Bye" she said as he super speeded to the garage where everyone was near a Blue 2005 Chevrolet Suburban 1500.
"So how are we going to do this?" Sam asked, talking about the seating arrangements.
"I don't know. I didn't think about that" said Peter.
"I have an idea" said Harry. Everyone jumped because they didn't hear him coming. "Warren, Jay, Sam, and Kurt will take the back seats. Rogue, Bobby, and I will take the middle seats."
"Which leaves Peter and I in the front," said Kitty smiling at Peter.
"Obviously" said Bobby, as some of them snorted. "You two are dating."
"Well there was no rule about that anyways" said Kitty as both her and Peter entered the van.
Bobby rolled his eyes at Peter started the van up and headed out of the garage.
"Alright of to the mall we go."
(X)
The drive was refreshing and quiet, with Kurt explaining how his watch created a hologram image over himself to hide his appearance. Finally when they reached their destination they headed for the clothes section of the mall (A/N & E/N: For time's sake let's just call it a section instead of separate stores in the mall).
"Alright Harry what kind of style do you like" said Bobby as they reached the men's section.
"I don't know I always had hand-me-downs" said Harry as he shrugged.
"Okay then, Harry why don't we split up and pick out some clothes and then you could tell us what you like" said Rogue.
"Good idea" said Kitty.
"Okay then, why don't some of us split up into pairs to save time because I really don't want to be here too long" said Harry, as every guy nodded in agreement.
"Great! I'll go with you" Rogue said to Harry. Bobby looked saddened by her answer.
"You can't get enough of me can you?" Harry said to Rogue. Rogue blushed. As she was doing that Harry caught Bobby frowning.
'Hmm…it seems Bobby has a thing for Rogue' thought Harry dismissing it.
Everyone else went there separate ways.
"So what do you think I should wear?" Harry asked Rouge.
(A/N: These are what my editor normally wears. E/N: Yep, and I look good in everything too. A/N: Alpha, you are full of yourself. E/N: Only a little bit Spirited.)
Rogue walks over to a t-shirt rack and looks at the rock band shirts.
"Who do you like? Jimi Hendrix, The Beatles, Nirvana, ACDC, The Doors, Audioslave, or Pearl Jam?" asked Rogue.
"Actually, I like all of them" said Harry having a tough time figuring out which one he wanted.
"Okay then we will get all of them" said Rogue.
"Isn't that a little bit too much?" said Harry.
"Don't worry. Professor X is paying for it all and trust me, money is not an option so don't feel guilty" Rogues said to Harry reassuring him.
"Ok" said Harry, still feeling a little guilty.
Time went on and by the time they were done Harry had 4 faded blue jeans, 6 dress long-sleeved shirts (blue, red, blue and red stripes, blue stripes, red stripes, and one white one that had a lion looking animal tattoo print on the back that said "Honor" on top of it), underwear (boxers), socks, running shoes, grey addidas skateboard shoes, dress shoes, 3 pairs of khaki cargo pants, basketball shorts, sweat pants (for training), 2 Under Armour sleeveless shirts (for training), Ray Ban sunglasses, a Fossil watch with a big brown leather strap, and brown tattered leather jacket.
1 Hour Later
As everyone finally got together, Harry stared terrified of how much clothes everyone else picked out.
"Alright Harry" said Jay carrying a large stack of punk clothes "do you want to try them on or do you just want to buy them so we can get the hell outta here."
"Well that is a lot of clothes" said Harry eyeing the stack of clothing everybody was holding "and I am all for getting the hell out of here so I guess we can just buy them all instead of wasting time."
There was a huge sigh of relief from the guys. They obviously didn't want to stay here for so long.
After they paid for the clothes, Jay insisted they go to the entertainment section for him to get a new cd. After that they headed for the exit.
That's when it happened: He started to hear an extra pair of voices all around him and mind you, there wasn't very much people in the mall. It was like the voices in the mall multiplied.
"God, I hate it when she does that!"
"Hmmm, should I get the black one or the red one?"
"I wish she would just hurry up and buy the damn dress"
"...Brian May is totally an amazing guitarist but Jimi Hendrix and Eric Clapton are way better" said a voice the sounded much like Jays.
"What the hell!" thought Harry stopping in his tracks to stare at Jay who was looking down at his new Queen cd while walking.
"I can't wait for my show tonight...it's gonna be the bomb"
"I'm soo hungry right now, I can't wait till we get back home"
Harry growled at the many voices filling his head. The others seemed to stop to notice that he had stopped. He grabbed his throbbing head as the others turned to look at him worriedly.
"Harry, what's wrong"" asked Kurt but he didn't hear him.
"Harry?" said Kitty as Harry growled again
"Arg, stop it, stop it, stop it, stop it" he kept muttering to himself before the others came up to him now clearly scared.
"Harry stop it!" yelled Kitty
"Oh god something's wrong" said Warren.
"No duh Warren" said Peter. "You can tell by his face."
"Come on you guys he needs some air!" said Bobby as they guided him out of the mall. As they reached out side Harry finally let out a breath of relief as his head stopped hurting like mad although it still hurt a bit.
"Harry?" said Rogue as she and the others looked at him. "Harry are you alright?"
"Yeah I'm fine now" said Harry shaking his head slightly.
"What happened?" asked Kurt confused as Harry crunched up his face confused himself but then he heard another voice that sounded much like Rogue's.
"Oh, he looks so cute when he's confused" he heard as he looked at her as she tried to be serious but couldn't contain her grin.
"I don't know" said Harry pretending like he didn't notice Rogue's expression and thoughts. "I was just walking with you guys before I started to hear voices inside my head."
"I think that might be a sign of your mutation powers" said Sam as Harry nodded.
"Yeah that might be it" said Harry as they headed toward the jeep
"I'm soo hungry right now, I can't wait till we get back home" said Kurt after they put the clothes in the trunk and entered the jeep to head off home.
"Kurt your always hungry" said Harry as everyone else laughed.
"What's your point?" asked Kurt.
"Never mind" said Harry.
(X)
"So you are telling us that you heard voices inside your head Harry?" asked professor Xavier as Harry nodded. Xavier, Harry, Jean, Storm, Logan and Scott were all in his office
After they had gotten back Peter and Sam had helped Harry take his new wardrobe back to his room and then he rushed to the professor's office to tell him what had happened at the mall.
"Harry are you sure you heard voices inside your head?" asked Jean looking slightly excited as Harry nodded again.
"Yes I'm sure, I even heard Kurt thinking that he was hungry and before we entered the jeep he said the same thing" said Harry rubbing his aching head.
"What's wrong with your head?" asked Storm
"I've got a major migraine" said Harry as he winced
"Hank will come bring you some Tylenol Harry" said Xavier who had asked Hank telepathically to bring Harry some medication.
"Alright" said Harry "I have a pretty good idea of what my powers are but what do you think might my mutant powers be?"
"Well it seems that you may have some telepathic powers" said Xavier who missed Jeans large grin.
"Well what about what happened when I had my nightmare?" asked Harry.
"We think that it might be your telekinetic abilities."
"Well obviously one eye" said Logan, who had been leaning on the wall far back in a dark corner "the kid can hear peoples thoughts and he can make stuff float."
Harry sniggered as Hank came in the room with a red pill and a glass of water.
"Here you go Harry" said Hank giving Harry the pill and water.
"No thanks" said Harry trying to hand them back to Hank.
"Harry, I really think you should take them" said Hank.
"Trust me, I have had much worse pain than this and I have gone without Tylenol" said Harry as if it weren't a big deal.
"Please Harry, do it for me" said Jean with pleading face.
"Okay Aunt Jean, but don't expect that facial expression to work all the time" said Harry. Jean smiled.
"Thanks doc" said Harry before he drank the water and the pill.
"I heard what had happened from Kitty" said Hank as Harry smiled knowing how gossipy Kitty was "how did it feel? Was it painful?"
"Like my head was going to explode and yeah it was extremely painful" said Harry as Hank laughed.
"Don't worry son, its all part of the mutation" said Hank as everyone smiled remembering their first experience of their powers except for Jean and Logan who were both looking down at the floor.
"Well Harry" said Xavier. "Now that you know your mutation powers, you could go and unpack you new clothes, for I'm sure you have a lot."
"Yes sir, I do have a lot" said Harry "and uh...thanks for letting me use your money."
"No need to thank me Harry, I do that for all the students that do not have the money of there own" said the professor as Harry got up to leave the room. "Oh and Harry if you want, since now you know your powers, would you also want to take down the barriers from mind that is keeping you from using magic?"
Harry's eye went wide.
"Wait, what? You can take down the barriers?" he asked as Xavier and Jean both nodded, smiling. "Okay then, I'll be right back."
He super speeded out of the room to his room, and he put all his clothes away and in a flash he was back at the professor's office.
"Okay, can we do it know?" he asked impatiently sitting back in his chair as everyone jumped at his quick return.
"Now?" asked Jean going into motherly-like mode "but you have a migraine remember?"
"So?" said Harry shrugging. "My headache is gone now."
After a few minutes of arguing Jean finally agreed to let Harry get the barriers down from his mind. As Jean, Xavier and Harry headed down to one of the medical rooms.
When they entered the room Harry felt his stomach do flip flops.
'Am I ready for this? I'm mean, maybe the ministry could locate every wizard or witch in the world' Harry thought as he was told to lie down on a flat table.
"Harry are you alright?" asked Jean. "You look kind of pale."
"Yeah I'm fine" said Harry. "I just realized what we are about to do."
"Are you sure you still want to do this Harry?" asked the professor as Harry nodded. "Very well then, Harry the first thing I need you to do is please try not to become distracted. You need to relax and keep your mind blank, this may hurt a bit."
Harry nodded again as Xavier put his hands to Harry's temples. Immediately Harry felt a slight jolt go through him as he felt the professor wandering in his mind searching for the blockage.
Harry closed his eyes to help him relax before Logan entered the room with a beer in his hands.
"Oh Logan, do you always have to drink in the mansion?" asked Jean putting her hands on her hips as Logan cocked an eyebrow.
"Oh Jean, do you always have to be so strict?" said Logan mimicking Jean, successfully making Harry snigger. "How you doing there Harry?"
"I'm doing well" said Harry as he heard a voice in his head.
'Harry...'
"Okay, I get it. No speaking."
(X)
It seemed like hours but only mere minutes when Xavier finally found it. He telepathically grasped the blockage making Harry gasp in pain.
"I've got it Jean" said Xavier as Jean and Logan both got up from there seats. "Do it now"
"Alright Harry this is going to hurt, so brace yourself" said Jean taking out her wand and put the tip on Harry's forehead. "Logan you know what to do?"
"Right" said Logan preparing for the worst.
"Aufero parietis" said Jean as a faint black smoke went through Harry's forehead.
Harry started to scream out as he felt the burning sensation go through his head. He felt like running away but he refused to, he had to get the barriers down.
All Logan can do is watch as the boy...no correction... man he came to know squirming and trying to desperately to get over the pain but couldn't. Logan didn't know what to do, he just stood there staring at the boy who's scream sounded so familiar as if he had heard it before.(1)
"Logan, hold him down!" said Jean as Harry squirmed even more. Logan grabbed Harry's arms to try to hold him down but it wasn't working.
"Jeez Jean, you could of brought some kryptonite" said Logan who was struggling.
The pain soon became white hot making tears flood Harry's eyes. Finally the black smoke had risen out of Harry's head in the shape of a overly large hand that was grasping a ball of bright light.
"Professor get back!" said Jean moving him out of the way knowing what was going to happen. "Logan move!"
"No!" said Logan who was now trying to wake up the unconscious Harry. "Come on kid wake up!"
Suddenly the black smoke surrounded the ball of light, making it explode. Logan was flown back into a wall while Jean made a telekinetic wall so the shock wave wouldn't hit her and the professor.
Then there was complete silence. Jean put down the telekinetic shields noticing the light bulb had exploded.
"Lumos" she said before a bright light emerged from the tip of her wand. She gasped; the whole entire room was destroyed. All there was left really was Harry lying on the table unconscious and Logan who was lying by a nearby wall who was starting to stir for unconsciousness.
"My god" was all she could say as Storm, Scott and Hank emerged from the door.
"Oh my stars and garters!" said Hank as Scott and Storm gasped at the wreck.
"Jean!" said Scott rushing towards her "are you okay?"
She nodded before he kissed her.
"Professor are you okay?" asked Strom as he nodded. "What happened?"
"The power from the blockage in Harry's mind was so powerful that it had exploded" he said as everyone turned to look at Harry.
"It was that strong enough to knock him out?!" asked Scott as Logan got up with a jolt and headed toward Harry
"Come on, we don't have time for this, we have to get to the infirmary" said Logan as he picked up Harry and rushed out the room as everyone followed him.
(A/N:)Yes finished finally!
(1) Now I know what you all must be thinking: How in the hell did Logan notice Harry's scream?...ok maybe your not thinking...but do a favour and think about it for me. Please.
Anyways please go ahead and review me. I'd love to hear your comments.
Oh yeah if you all didn't know Aufero parietis means 'remove wall' I couldn't think of anything else ok.
(E/N: For those of you who are wondering the Logan in the story is the movie version of Logan. This story is kind of a mix up between the movie, the cartoons, and the show, so if you have any questions feel free to as myself 'thealphamale" or the author 'SpiritedAway 123.' Thank you.)
