chapter 2

When Jean had gotten Harry back, she had been shocked, at the amount of damage done to the little boy lying limp on the bed. It took ages to heal the little one, even with all her mutant powers. She was the best in the area at healing, which was why she was the doctor obviously. It took her a good while to get everything fixed, which included his broken bones and open wounds all over his body. The bruises would have to fade in time; hopefully, he would not wake until most of them were gone. It would hurt like hell, they did not know he had, had worse in his small life.

He was asleep for two weeks, Jean making sure of that, it was much better for the wee one. Harry was far too small for the age they estimated him to be, they knew nothing about him. They had lots to learn, they didn't even know what kind of mutant powers he had or anything. The professors were all worried about him, but he was making a full recovery according to Jean.

Harry woke up feeling much better than he ever remembered. Opening his eyes he gasped, where on earth he was. It was certainly was not a hospital even though it was a hospital looking bed. He grimaced when he saw that a needle was still in his arm, his green eyes roamed the room looking and taking everything in. he didn't dare move he didn't know where he was or whom he was with.

"Ah your awake, good it's nice to meet you, my name is Jean" said Jean smiling as she walked into the room.

"Hello, I'm Harry" said Harry shyly looking down.

"Well Harry, now you are awake lets get you up and about and I will take you too see the professor" said Jean making him lie back down again. Before she flicked her hand and took the needle out fast and painless.

"Professor?" asked Harry his big green eyes wide with confusion.

"A teacher Harry, that's their titles" said Jean realizing the little boy didn't understand.

"Title?" asked Harry again looking as if he had lost track of the conversation.

"My title is Dr. Jean Grey. Your name is Harry that's a title" said Jean.

"Oh title is a name" said Harry his wide eyes now taking in something new he had just learned.

"That's right Harry, now lets go, can you walk?" asked Jean looking concerned.

"Let me down please" said Harry politely.

Jean lifted him up and then put him on the ground, making sure she had a grip on him so if he did fall she could catch him. He was wobbly on his legs for a good five seconds before he got used to it. There were still some sores on his leg and arm as well as back but they would heal in time.

They walked through the halls, Harry looking at the suits and metal doors that seem to move on their own, automatic doors. With huge X's on them, he could not take everything in. then suddenly they went through another door and the place seemed to turn into a school. Frowning in confusion he didn't say anything, he didn't want to be beaten for asking questions he was lucky he had not been yet.

"Here we are Harry, just in here" said Jean taking him through.

"Ah so he is awake is he, hello my name is Professor Charles Xavier welcome to our school for mutants" said the teacher wheeling around to see the little boy properly.

"Mutant?" asked Harry looking confused.

"Harry you see a Mutant is a person with special powers," said Jean looking down at the boy.

"I don't have powers, I'm just a freak" said Harry stopping the hope that he felt. His green solemn eyes looked into the teachers; the man was stunned that the boy really thought he was a freak.

"No your not a freak Harry, your family were scared of who and what you were. You did nothing to deserve what they did to you, now Harry I need to ask something of you" said Xavier.

"Yes sir?" asked Harry looking fearful.

"I would like to look into your mind" said Professor

"You want to cut me open?" asked Harry looking petrified.

"No Harry, my special gift is being able to look into and read minds. Would you let me?" he asked. He needed to know all about Harry and who he was. He had a feeling Harry did not

'Don't worry Harry I wont hurt you' said Xavier in Harry's mind.

"Yes" stuttered Harry knowing he didn't have a choice, the man would just force him. Plus the man didn't seem like he wanted to hurt him-yet.

"Thank you" said Xavier.

He put his hands on Harry's closing his eyes the memories from when he was just born until that very last night he remembered played through his head.

"You are going to be really powerful one day Harry, I want to help you, what is your age?" said Xavier still slightly stunned at what he had just seen in the young boy's mind.

"Eight" replied Harry unable to believe the man was being nice to him

"What did you see?" asked Jean feeling the man's stunned shocked feelings.

"Harry here is a powerful person, and is the first wizard to have Mutant powers in the world." said Xavier.

"Wizard?" asked Harry looking scared and confused.

"That's right Harry, magical powers that can be harnessed by a wand. Our Mutant powers are not harnessed by a wand; our powers come because will them too. You however, have more than one mutant power. Possibly the first Mutant to have more than multiply powers" said Xavier.

Gasps rang around the room, more than two or three powers? It was unheard of, Mutants usually only has one or two powers. The gasps turned into looks of awe when they realized just how powerful this young child was.

"I don't have powers I'm just a freak" said Harry trying to convince himself he was nothing and nobody special.

"You saw the memories too Harry, you saw yourself using your wizard powers and your parents using magic with wands, Wizards. Then later in life you used some of your Mutant powers" said Xavier.

"What if it's just wizarding magic and not Mutant magic? How do we know he is a Mutant?" asked Cyclops.

"Because he will be like me only so much more powerful one day, or should I say like Jean. Jean here can read minds and can feel emotions, so will young Harry but he will be so much better than any Mutant in history. There are also Mutant powers there that have never been unleashed." said Xavier.

"What are they?" asked Storm.

"We won't know until its time for them to come, to unleash it will be most likely when he is ready to be able to handle them.

"That's weird because a Mutant always has their powers it doesn't just spontaneously come, or unleash" said Jean.

"I know that has me stumped but the only reason I can see is that it's just not ready to be used" said Xavier.

"Or something or someone is blocking it," said Jean, Xavier had just given Jean Harry's memories.

"What do you mean you can't block a Mutants power" said Cyclops confused.

"There is no known way here, but in the Wizarding world there must be, otherwise why is the Mutant power not active? There may even be some of his wizarding powers stuck there" said Jean.

"I think you may be right, but why would this man Dumbledore want to stop this child's power?" asked Xavier looking angry and confused.

"I don't know, perhaps because he was going to a Human area?" asked Jean. They were Mutants they called normal people Human's, instead of Muggles (Which they were called in the Wizarding world.)

"That's still no reason to bind or block someone's power" said Xavier still angry no longer confused.

"I'm not saying what he did was right, but I'm sure he has a reason. Which we will probably not find out, what we need to do is concentrate on the child and help him control his Mutant powers, perhaps along the way he will learn to control his Wizarding magic!" said Jean.

"Harry would you like to stay here, and learn how to use your special gifts? Come to classes and meet new people, and make friends?" asked Xavier agreeing with Jean.

"My Aunt and Uncle will want me back" said the small boy, who could no longer suppress the hopeful feelings that rose.

"Harry your Aunt and Uncle will never find you; they cannot get you here, you are safe. This is a safe place for Mutants to learn to control their gifts, you have some amazing gifts and we would love it if you would come and learn, let us teach you" said Jean she was getting fond of the boy.

"I won't have to leave?" asked Harry timidly.

"No, Never" said Jean meaning it from the bottom of her heart.

"Promise" said the small boy.

"I promise" said Jean, but what happened next stunned them all, magic swirled around the room engulfing Jean and Harry. Cyclops, Storm and Xavier was stunned the magic was unlike anything they had ever felt before. Jean and Harry were both alright, but they were unsure about what had happened.

"Ok," said Harry excitedly a small smile on his face, he was never going back to the Dursley's. The woman, Jean would never let him go back, and his Aunt and Uncle could not find him. His cousin would never again hurt him; he would make them all proud. However, he still doubted he was powerful he no longer doubted he had magic after that display who could deny it?
