A/N: Ok so I'm going to do the story it won't update as often but it will still be updated. Now each chapter will be a full school year for Harry. Now I'm going to skip all the way to the sorting hat cause it'll be the same, Each chapter I will jump from scene to scene to show a difference will change in later chapters.

Year 1

Harry Potter walked up to the three legged stool and sat down, when the hat was placed on his head he heard a voice inside his head. "Ah Mr. Potter I wondered when you would be sitting here, but what's this? There seems to be a block on your mind. You seem to have a block stopping you from remembering your past life. I will remove it….and done. Oh my, yes very strong very brave and very sure of heart I know just where to place you GRYFFINDOR!" When the hat had removed the block Harry had flashes of his life as a Grey Warden and as a mage. He remembered all the magic and all of his skills, 'I need to get this fragile body into shape' thought the now young Warden. As Harry took his seat he decided that he would still be Harry he wouldn't change to be Harken.

As he walked into his dormitory he collapsed on his bed and was asleep before he had hit the mattress. When Harry dreamed he was in a room seated in a comfy chair, across from him sat what he knew to be Harken. They talked for awhile, with the Warden telling the young wizard about the finer points of magic, the way to control his untapped powers that now were awakened, and how to make a staff that will be able channel the higher level spells that he now knew. When Harry woke up the next morning he could have passed his NEWT's with ease, but he wanted to stay in the castle longer.

Harry was sitting in potions next to Hermione Grange, after being "woken up" he had seen her in a new light, her knowledge, spirit, and drive was something he really admired. When Snape walked in he fired off questions at Harry for no reason, while he answered them correctly, the professor seemed to get angrier and angrier. Finally when Snape took a point off for his "cheek" Harry stood. "Excuse me professor, but I have shown you the utmost respect, the least you can do is show the same for the students" Snape turned his head so fast, any normal person would have gotten whiplash. "I will decide what to show students Potter now sit down and shut up, thirty points from Gryffindor for the lack of respect" and so Snape went on to teach the class. Hermione gave him disapproving looks all class.

That night Harry meditated and searched for a way to power himself down, his wand wasn't channeling his powers correctly either his spells were too weak or too strong it was never constant. The answer came to him without really needing to think, he needed to make a staff. He got up and upon seeing it wasn't long after dinner, went to Professor McGonagall's office. When he got there he found her grading papers. "Professor can I talk to you a moment?" Harry asked from the door way. "Of course Potter come on in" was the reply.

Harry went in and sat in the chair in front of her desk and began his tale carefully, explaining that when he put the hat on it had awakened some recesses of power and that his wand didn't feel right anymore and that the idea of a staff seemed to feel right, McGonagall was surprised and was confused so she took him to the Headmaster. Dumbledore's eyes twinkled as Harry explained the story and when the first year was finished the elder wizard kindly asked McGonagall to leave, which she did without argument. When she had left Dumbledore stood and went to stand at Harry's side, "How long since you remembered?" he asked in a serious voice. Harry knew what he meant and for some reason he knew to tell the old man everything. "Since the sorting hat but I can't control my magic, it's too powerful I need a staff" Harry looked at the headmaster with the ancient eyes Harken gave him. "We shall go this weekend" was Dumbledore's reply.

And they did, Harry's staff was as tall as he was, made of red steel and topped with three dragon's heads. Harry was able to do his magic precisely and accurately. He was also able to do the powerful spells Harken had told him about and it felt good to see that he was indeed powerful. And soon Halloween approached.

Harry wasn't happy with Ron at the moment, he had insulted Hermione and had made her cry, and Harry hadn't seen her since and had heard that she had shut herself in a girl's bathroom crying her eyes out. His staff, which he had named Vinean which meant Storm rider in the language of the elves, was leaning against the table just within arm's reach. Soon Quirrel came busting through screaming about a troll in the school before passing out. Harry grabbed Vinean and bolted thinking Hermione was in danger, just as he made it to one of the many bathrooms in the school, Harry came across a strong putrid odor. He figured it was the troll and hurried, but ran even faster when he heard a scream form the bathroom. The troll was standing there with club raised and standing over the cowering form of Hermione, Harry using reflexes he didn't know he had used a powerful petrifying spell and sealed the beast in rock long enough to send a fist of stone at its head, knocking the troll out cold.

Harry was stunned that he could use such powers, he hadn't even practiced those. When the teachers showed up and Hermione took the blame Harry was stunned again and it started a deep friendship. Even when Hermione acted like a know-it-all when Harry knew more than her, he stuck by her. Ron however started to drift from Harry claiming he didn't want to be around the bookworm. In his stead however Harry became good friends with Neville Longbottom, while not the most talented young wizard; once you got him out of his shell he would talk your ear off over herbology and the plants around his home. As the trio investigated and discovered what was under the trap door where the Cerberus lived, the year moved by fast and soon they were taking final exams with Harry's scar hurting. The trio decided that they needed to get to the stone.

They went through the challenges with relative ease, Neville knowing the Devil's Snare immediately, Harry catching the key, the three of them working out the chess game so no one got hurt, Neville hung back while Hermione and Harry went to the potion room where Hermione gave Harry a big hug telling him to be careful, and finally Harry came face to face with the image that haunted his nightmares for the past year Lord Voldemort.

Harry stood in front of the mirror with the stone in his pocket, but there was an image behind his reflection a blue griffon which he pushed to the back of his mind as he tried to out run Quirrel, that didn't happen so he was pinned by his throat and all Harry could think of was the fire ball spell but his staff was on the other side of the room. When Harry put his hands on Quirrel's arm to try and push him off he turned to ash and disappeared. It must have taken a lot out of him because the next thing he knew he was waking up in the Hospital Wing with the Headmaster sitting next to his bed.

After the love explanation the Headmaster gave Harry, he went to find Neville and Hermione, and when he did he couldn't help but smile. Come new powers, old foes, and deadly forces his first year was over and he had the friends he needed to keep him going in the years to come.
