Chapter 3
Thoughts: hello
Bird speech: "Hello"
When Harry woke up he decided he wanted to take a look around his new home. The first place he came to was the upstairs study it was a large room with a very nice looking desk and the big surprise was the computer sitting on the desk. It was at this point that Harry realized he didn't even have a high school education and had no idea how most thing in the normal world worked he would have to find somewhere to learn. Behind the desk were several bookcases with all of his books in them he really must remember to thank the goblins because it would have taken him weeks to get this all done without magic. As he was leaving the study he checked out the other rooms upstairs there were another three bedrooms with bathrooms attached but that was it so he went down stairs when he reached the bottom of the stairs in what was likely a receiving area there was a very nice full length mirror. Harry took the time to get a good look at his new self he was about five feet ten inches tall with a swimmers build on his back were two very large brown hawk wings but the best change as far as he was concerned was that there was no longer a scar on his forehead. He did not know where it went nor did he care he was just glad it was gone. Well enough staring at myself let see what else I can find. The next room he came to was a dream kitchen for any chef it had everything you could ever want including an island and a very large bay window with a window seat so you could sit and relax while waiting for something to cook. As he left the kitchen he entered the dining room which held a table big enough for ten people to easily sit at and be comfortable. The next room was a very large library it was only one story but it had to be one of the largest rooms in the house there were empty bookcases all over the room along with comfortable chairs and couches on one side right beneath a beautiful bay window was what looked to be the oldest and most comforting desk he had ever seen. Ok note to self must go shopping to fill this library up also must find a school where me having wings does not matter. The other rooms on the bottom floor was a laundry room with a chute from the upstairs master bedroom along with a living room with a very nice entertainment system and another bathroom.
Harry decided he wanted to take a better look around the outside of his property so he went back upstairs to his bedroom and opened the window. He then transformed into a hawk and flew out the window. He started out with the front yard it took him awhile to get to the front gate and he had to fly over quite a bit of forest to get to the front edge of his property line where he found a large cast iron gate protecting the property. As he was flying over his property two things became readily apparent the first was that most of his property was covered in forest the second was that it was very large. In the back he saw what looked like a green house last night but as he flew closer it became apparent it was an aviary he knew this by the large amount of birds he could hear screaming in terror of the bird of prey flying over them so he quickly flew on before they decided to attack. When he got to the edge of the property that bordered the other property he had flown over he landed in a tree and watched what was going on. There were children playing in the front yard lots of children about his age some younger some older but mostly children. He was so happy he thought maybe could make some friends and that was when he saw it the children started using powers was the only thing he could think to describe it. He saw a girl turn into a wolf he saw a guy turn into a living piece of ice he saw people turn on fire if you could imagine it he saw it. Oh my god these are people like me I wonder if they would accept me I hope so. He flew off and went to the front gate of his property where he turned back to human form and walked out of his gate and toward the other gate.
When he arrived he was so nervous he was shaking when he pressed the button by the camera. Then a voice came over the speaker "Hello would you like entrance to Xavier's school for the gifted?". He couldn't believe it the goblins had thought of everything not only did they get him the perfect house but it was next to a school for gifted children he just hoped was good enough to get in. "Uh yes I would like to speak to your headmaster if I could please?" he spoke his voice sounding very quite. The gate opened and there was a man standing there who looked quite gruff he was dressed in jeans and a white t-shirt and you could plainly see all of his muscles he approached me and said "Hi my name is Logan or Wolverine" he must have noticed the scared look and the shaking because he said" Don't worry I won't hurt you if you will follow me I will take you to the headmaster is what I think you called him." His voice was gruff but my instincts where telling me I could trust him so I followed him we passed many people on the way to the mansion some did stop what they were doing but as soon as they saw my wings they just went back to playing. Logan was a quite one but the way he walked screamed predator so I put him on top of my list of people to not piss off when we reached the mansion he lead me right to an office. It seemed most of the kids were outside because while we did pass some people they were mostly adults. Logan didn't bother knocking on the door he just walked right in so I followed into a room it was obvious this was an office but what surprised me was all the people in the room. There was the guy behind the desk he was bald and appeared to be in a wheel chair but still radiated power like he was in charge. The was a white haired African American lady she was sitting by a tall white gentleman whose most striking feature was his eyes which seemed to be a stormy grey almost like you could see the storm in his eyes. Next was a redheaded lady who was sitting next to a guy with red sunglasses on he had his arm around the lady and I could see a wedding ring on his and her hand.
The guy behind the desk was the first to speak "Hello my name is Charles Xavier and I am in charge of this school. Is there something with which we can help you?" I stood there shaking a little from the fact that I could tell each person in this room was immensely strong "Uh yes I was wondering if perhaps maybe I could attend your school I haven't been in school for awhile and I might not be gifted enough for you school though so perhaps you could test me?" my voice was showing some of my fear I guess because. Charles smiled at me and said "Calm down young man no one is going to hurt you I am sure you would make a wonderful addition to our school as we are more focused on other types of gifts. In fact each person in this school and even in this room is what is called a Mutant." I don't know if it was his voice or what but I calmed down. Charles smiled some more and introduced the other in the room "First we have our lovely white haired lady Ororo Evans and her husband Edward Evans they both have some control of the weather then we have the Summers, Scott and his wife Jean he can fire concussive blast and she is a very strong telepath and telekinetic." I jumped when I heard this and backed away Logan put his hand on my shoulder stopping me from leaving. "Don't worry we will not read your mind without permission I too am a telepath and telekinetic and Logan has regenerative powers with heightened senses and claws. Would you mind telling us your powers?" Still a little shook up I said "Uh I am not sure I know I can turn into a hawk and I have these wings but am not sure about anything else my name is Harry Potter by the way." "Well it is nice to meet you Harry would you mind if I looked into your head I might be able to tell what else you can do?" Charles asked. I sat down in the chair Logan lead me too and looked at Charles saying "As long as it won't hurt I guess it is okay" Charles smiled again and said "Don't worry it won't hurt as long as you don't resist." he then closed his eyes and I could hear him in my head. Ok see no pain although I see you have a lot of mental scaring what happened to cause all of this? I thought hard did I want to tell him and then decided why not he is being nice I guess I have a lot to tell you and I proceeded to tell him my entire life story including the occlumency lessons with Snape. He shuddered when he came out of my mind "Well it is obvious why you were scared with that in your past I can promise you Jean and I will not invade you mind without permission unless in an emergency" Charles said. "Know I can tell you more about your powers if you would like." "Yes please I would like to know what I can do and I appreciate the promise." I said thinking that didn't hurt at all. Charles said "Well you know about your wings and the ability to transform but I also sense you can speak to any bird and you can control the air to a far greater degree than I have ever seen before.
We will be happy to help train you in these and take care of your schooling if you would like." "Wow a thanks I guess." and then it hit me Ororo and her husband shared the last name Evans I wonder. "Uh excuse me Edward but would you mind telling me did you have any family in England?" Edward looked up and said "Yes my Grandfather was from England before he was disowned because he was a Mutant why do you ask?" I looked a little shocked and replied with" I asked because my mother's maiden name was Evans and I recently came across a family tree were I discovered I had family other then my abusive aunt I wonder if we could be related?" Edward looked intrigued " Well if you could bring that book I could tell you if it was my grandfather." "I will bring it over from next door tomorrow oh sorry I just moved in next door sorry I forgot to mention that." Logan let out a sigh of relief "Thank goodness I am in charge of security and couldn't figure out who it was who bought it." "Well would you all like to come to dinner tonight and I could show you around?" I said. Charles replied "Yes we would be happy to how about at seven?" I said "that would be wonderful well I have to go get dinner ready and I will see you all then till then good day " And I transformed and flew out the window.
