Chapter 4

Harry was happy, in the second Defense class this term he defeated and humiliated Draco Malfoy in a duel, where he used his new skills to leave Malfoy lying on the ground. It was also good for him to see that now Malfoy had to work on his position in Slytherin as Damian Wayne created a second faction in Slytherin and he was slowly gaining prestige in the house as Malfoy's was diminishing.

That week on Saturday morning Harry went with Cassandra to Hogsmead leaving Ron and Hermione together. The pair walked first to Three Broomsticks, after which they walked in the village holding hands. The quiet day did not last however, as Draco and his goons approached the pair.

"Walking with a girlfriend Potter," he asked

"Get lost Malfoy," replied Harry

"No, I think I will get my revenge on you. Crabb, Goyle, show him who is the boss here" The two large boys approached the couple and Harry took out his wand but before he could do anything, the three Slytherins were on the ground and Cassandra stood in a battle mode with her fist ready. She then used her hands and threw the boys around before throwing them in a dirty pond.

"I will get you for this" replied Draco but before he could do anything he got transformed into a ferret.

"Shut up you Death Muncher spawn" cried Jason as he prepared his wand to fight the other two Slytherins. Before they could do anything, they saw Damian.

"Can I now bite their faces out?" asked the first year Slytherin. The Slytherin trio or rather the two goons and ferret Malfoy run to the castle.

"We heard that you were in trouble"

"Cass handle herself," said the girl.

"Still, it is my duty to protect you from this scum" said Jason cheekily. As the four walked back to the castle, Hermione and Ron, who did not want to look at each other, rejoined them.

As the group approached the Castle, they were greeted by Professor Kent. "Hello Harry, I need to talk to you. You may bring your friends with you. This concerns your Godfather Sirius Black" The group followed the Professor and soon entered his office. Harry never have been there and looked curious at the classroom and the office of Muggle Studies Professor. The office had many Muggle equipment objects, which were very familiar to members of the Wayne family as well as Harry and Hermione but Ron looked astonished at all, the new objects he saw in the classroom.

The group entered the office and they saw that a man was sitting at one chair in it, which stood up and greeted Professor Kent. "Hello Clark, I see you brought our young famous delinquent Harry Potter?" he asked

"Yes. Harry Potter, this is Harvey Dent who is a lawyer and an old friend of Bruce. He came to Hogwarts from his firm in America to help you in your case with Sirius Black"

"As I read in my notes, I found out that your Godfather was imprisoned without a trial to Azkaban, where he spent twelve years and later escaped. Do you have anything to say about the case"?

"He is innocent. I know it. "

"If you know it, I may need to use some of your memories for further use." Harry saw a small well with a liquid and a few glowing white hairs swimming in it.

"Don't worry, this is not painful." He took a couple of memories, which Harry provided and put them inside of the Pensive. After a brief look at the memories, Dent continued the conversation with the group. After a long conversation, the six students exited the room and went to their respective dormitories although Cass decided to go to Gryffindor to spend some more time with Harry as well her friend Stephanie.

When the group entered the tower, Helena Wayne greeted them. "Hello Harry, how was your meeting with Clark and Harvey?" asked the girl

"It was good, it seems that my Godfather might be cleared of his crimes." Helena came closer to Jason and kissed him, after what she decided to tell her friends an announcement.

"It seems that despite the Tournament, we will have Quidditch this year. Barbara heard that Bruce talked to the Headmaster and together with Clark they will be organizing the Quidditch this year. The tryouts are in an hour."

The group got cheerful although Harry could see that Hermione and Ron were still not on speaking terms. "Is something wrong?" he asked

The two did not talk and Harry changed the subject. Soon, many Gryffindors went outside for tryouts where they were greeted by Clark Kent. "Hello to you all. I am new here and so excuse me for not knowing your names as not many students are taking my class. Your captain will decide on who will be on the team"

The students tried the four different positions. Harry became the seeker for the fourth year in a row; he did not have good competition for the position although Ginny Weasley came in second and received a reserve Seeker spot. The Weasley twins once again received beaters position. However, the other four positions had major changes.

Since Oliver Wood left, people were actively searching for a new goalkeeper and after many tryouts, that position was given to Jason Todd. Angelina was a returning seeker but the other two were newcomers- Helena Wayne and Stephanie Brown.
