Chapter 6: Hurting Scar.

The next morning the storm had passed over, but the sky was still a glummy grey, as Harry tugged down the Ravenclaw dormitory, dressed in dark blue dress pants, a white blouse and blue and bronze tie, and a blues and bronze vest, with his school bag thrown over his shoulder. He had been a little late getting up, he had tossed and turned all night, after his fights with Ginny, he had went up to bed, where he couldn't get to sleep, because his scar begin to hurt, like it had all summer, he couldn't figure out why, after six years it would suddenly start to hurt, when it has never hurt before.

"Hey, Lightingblot, what took you so long?" Ginny, who had been standing on the bottom of the stairway asked.

"Sorry, couldn't get to sleep last night, so I slept a little late." Harry said. "I'm not too late am I."

"No, you're fine." Ginny said. "Just latter then you usually are." They headed out of the common room, and down the hall, chatting like the fight they had last night never happen. That's how good a friendship the four shared, if they fought or argued, they didn't have to say sorry when it was all over; they just went back to being friends.

"Gin, I have this weird feeling like something bad is happening." Harry said. "I don't know what, but...I don't know maybe I'm paranoid or something, but last night I couldn't get to sleep because my scar was hurting."

"You're problem is you worry too much." Ginny said, as they turned into the Great Hall, they stopped by the Ravenclaw table to get their new course schedules, (Harry saw Britney Lupin sitting with Luna) then all they headed over to the Gryffindore table to sit. "Maybe you just had a headache and it seemed like it was coming from your scar."

"Maybe," Harry said, doubtfully.

"What took you guys so long?" Rigel demanded, as Ginny and Harry sat on either side of him. Across from Teddy, who had his hair in a spiky mohawk, and was Gryffindore red and gold, Teddy's robs was patched up, with gold and red patches, not because his parents couldn't afford new ones, but because he liked it that way. His shirt had no buttons, because he tore them out and used muggle safety pins instead, which he also had pins all over his robs, along with zippers, and had his vest cut in half, and refused to wear a tie at all, he also didn't wear the dress pants, but tight black pants that had zippers all up and down the legs. If Teddy's parents kept all the letters they have got about Teddy's clothes, they would have a whole file cabinet full maybe two.

"Harry over slept." Ginny said. "Because he couldn't sleep, he had a headache or something, he thinks it's a sign something bad is going to happen."

"Something bad did happen last night." Rigel said. Ginny frowned at him.

"What?" She asked. Ginny's clothes wasn't all that better than Teddy's. Since she had to wear second-hand clothes, they where often patched or faded, and unlike the other girls, Ginny refused to wear a skirt, and wore pants instead, she picked up on some of Teddy's style, and had safety pins all up and down the legs of them, she didn't wear a vest, or tie. Since Harry's friends couldn't wear the clothes they liked to wear when not in school, they made their robs look as much like them as they could.

"No Quidditch." Teddy answered. "We were going to win this year too, just like last year."

"Please," Harry said. "The only reason you won last year, is because we lost in our first match against Hufflepuff; because the dementors made me fall off my broom, knocking us out of the running for the cup."

"Yes, and your bad Quiddicth playing had nothing to do with it." Teddy said. Harry glared at him.

"I'm not a bad Quidditch player." Harry said.

"Keep telling yourself that." Rigel said. "So, hows your schedules look? We have potions first thing."

"Our first class is Care of Magical Creatures." Ginny said, with the Hufflepuffs."

"Lucky, you guys get Hagrid, and we have to look at Snape." Teddy said. "And right after eating too."

"That would be twenty points from Gryffindore, Lupin." Snape said, appearing behind Teddy, as if he just appeared out of thin air, making him jump. "Ten for bad mouthing a teacher, and ten for not looking...uumm..persentable." Snape always had a problem with the way Teddy fixed his hair and dressed. "I will advise you to do something with your hair and clothes, before entering my class, or I take another ten pointes." He then turned and made his way over to the Slytherin table to pass out their schedules.

"Bloody git." Rigel said. He hated Snape maybe even more then Sirius did.

"Don't worry about it, Trouble." Teddy said. "We don't care about points." He raised his voice loud enough to carry across the Great Hall. "If we did we wouldn't be getting so many taken all the time." Snape glared over at the Gryffindore table as he held Malfoy out his schedule to take. If there was anyone Snape picked on as much as he did Harry, it was Teddy.

"Come on, Harry." Ginny said, standing. "We better get going to class. See you guys later. " She then said to Teddy and Rigel, before her and Harry headed toward the door, but as Harry walked out of the Great Hall, someone grabbed him from behind, got him in a headlock, and ran their knuckles through his hair.

"What's the matter with you?" Cody said. "You sit at my table, eat your breakfast, and talk with your friends, but you don't say good morning to your older brother."

"Cody," Harry groaned. "Let go of me." He tried to wiggle out of Cody's arms, but he tighten his hold, making his glasses fall off.

"Alright, Cody, let him go." Ginny said, after a while. "You're going to make us late for class. speaking of class shouldn't you be in yours."

"Nope." Cody said, letting go of Harry, and he bent down to pick up his glasses. "Skipping." When he got his glasses back on Harry turned around and punched Cody's arm, Cody yelped and grabbed the spot Harry had hit.

"Man, that hurt." Cody said.

"It was supposed to." Harry said, and Ginny laughed, "What class are you suppose to be in?"

"Divinations." Cody said, making a face. "There's just so many times I can hear someone predict my little brother's death."

"Try being the one she says is going to die at anytime." Harry said. Cody snorted.

"Believe me I was." Cody said. "My death was the one she predicted into you got to school."

After saying bye to Cody Ginny and Harry made their way do to Hagrid's cabin, who was standing outside of his hut, one hand on the collar of his black boarhound Fang. There was several open wooden crates on the ground at his feet, an odd rattling noise came from them, along with what sounded like minor explosions.

"Morning!" Hagrid greeted Ginny and Harry with a grin, then pointed at the crates. "Blast Ended Skrewts!"

"Umm, what?" Ginny asked, looking at the crates, with eyebrows raised.

"Eurgh!" squealed Lisa Turpin, another Ravenclaw fourth year, as she jumped back away from them.

"No kidding," Ginny said. The Blast Ended skrewts looked like deformed, shell-less lobsters; horribly pale, and slimy-looking, with legs sticking out in very odd places and no visible head. They also smelt like rotten fish.

"Just hatched," Hagrid said, proudly. "Thought you could raise them yourselves."

"Umm..okay," Harry said.

"Hagrid, whats that pointed thing on it?" Susan Bone fromHufflepuff asked.

"Somes got stingers." Hagird said, making Susan pull her hand back real fast.

Ginny looked at Harry and mouthed '"stingers." Harry shrugged.

Hour later they headed toward the Green house for Herbology, with the Slytherins, as Harry headed toward the door someone bumped into him from behind, hard.

"Watch it!" Harry said, rubbing his shoulder, he looked to see Crabb had been the one to bump into him, as he Malfoy and Goyle pushed past him and Ginny to go in the Greenhouse. After a long boring Herbology class, where they had to collect puss from the ugliest plants Harry had ever seen called Bubotubers, and listening to Malfoy complain about how digusting they were, and Harry telling Malfoy to act like a man and not a little girl, they headed back toward the castle to have lunch.

"Merlin, this day is going by too slow." Ginny said, taken a seat next to Rigel, and Harry sat across from them, next to Teddy.

"Tell me about it." Rigel said. "I wish it was already summer vacation again, without Quiddicth this is going to be a long boring year."

After they ate, Harry, Teddy and Rigel headed toward Divination class as Ginny headed toward Arithmancy.

"Hope she doesn't perdict my death." Harry said, as him, Rigel, and Teddy took the seats in the back.

"Good day," said the misty voice of Professor Trelawny right behind Harry, making him jump, and once again she was peering down at Harry with a tragic expression on her face.

"You are preoccupied, my dear," she said. "But yet you put on a brave face, you have difficult times a head, most difficult. I fear the thing you dread will come to pass, and sooner than you think." She then swept passed them and sat down in a large winged armchair before the fire facing the class.

"It has already passed." Teddy said, in a spooky, whisper voice. "No Quidditch this year."Rigel snorted and Harry rolled his eyes, while he rubbed his scar, which was beginning to hurt like it did last night, Harry got lost in the pain, and his thoughts, the smell of the perfumed fire making him feel sick, as Trelawney started going on about stars. Rigel and Teddy sat on his other side playing Hang man on a piece of parchment. Harry closed his eye to try to not be sick all over the class room, and to try to stop the pain, but suddenly Teddy was poking him in the ribs.

"What!" Harry snapped, opening his eyes, he looked to see the whole class staring at him. He sat up straight; still rubbing his scar. Teddy and Rigel was watching him in concern.

"I was saying, that you were clearly born under the baleful influence of Saturn."

"Born under what!" Harry asked, not really caring, he just wanted his scar to stop hurting, and not to get sick all over his bug-eyed teacher.

"Saturn, the plant Saturn." Trelawny said, "Saturn was surely in position of power in the time of your birth...Your dark hair...your mean stature...tragic losses in you life."

"Harry, mean?" Teddy interrupted. "Are you sure you're not confusing him with Rigel?"

"And his dark hair has nothing to do with the fact his dad had dark hair." Rigel said. Trelawney ignored them.

"Am I right in saying you were born in midwinter." She asked.

"If July is a winter month, then yeah." Harry said, putting his hand down, the pain in his scar had eased off now, and he wasn't in the mood for Trelaweny had her death predictions, next to him Teddy and Rigel laughed.

Half hour later, each of them had been given a complicated circular chart, and was tempting to fill positions of the plants at their birth.

"Whats was all that about?" Teddy demanded. "Are you having another headache. Neither him or Rigel was doing their work, they were watching Harry, Teddy with an almost fearful look on his face, and though Rigel's experssion was unreadable, Harry knew he was worried for him also.

"It's not a headache." Harry snapped. "Like I told Ginny, it's my scar hurting."

"What!" Teddy said, eyes going big. "But..it's never hurt before has it?" Harry shook his head.

"Not even when Voldemort was sticking out of Quirrell's head." Harry said. "I don't know maybe Ginny's right. Maybe it's a headache, and just seems like it's my scar."

"You're lying." Rigel said. Harry glared at him, but then sighed and gave in.

"Yeah, it's been hurting me most the summer." Harry said. "And I've been had these weird dreams, but I did tell the truth, it's never hurt me before this summer."

"Well, if it happen again." Rigel said. "I think you should go talk to Madam Pomfrey." Harry and Teddy looked at him in surprise. "Don't look at me like that. Pomfrey is a train healer isn't she, she's the one most likely to now if old scars can hurt isn't she."

"I guess." Harry said. Still surprise that Rigel of all people had suggest to go to an adult for help. The only adult he would ever go to would be Sirius. Rigel didn't trust adults. He had a saying; adults was the less trustworthy people on the plant.

"What is he's coming back?" Harry asked, in a whisper. "What if that's what this means, or why my scar has been hurting."

"If he knows what good for him, he'll stay where ever the hell he is." Rigel growled. No fear at all in his voice.

"Boys," Trlawney called. "Let work more and talk less."

After divinations ended, the three friends headed down to catch up with Ginny, and head to DADA, which was the last class of the day, and the only mandatory class that Gryffindore and Ravenclaw had together.

"Hey, guys." Ginny smiled as they walked up to her, she then frowned. "Whats with the glummy looks?" Ginny had taken her rub of and had it crabbed down in her backpack.

"Harry's scar hurt again." Teddy said. "Or head, or something."

"I'm fine, it's nothing." Harry said, as Ginny shot him a worried look, as they walked into the class and the took a sit in the front together. Harry sat between Rigel and Ginny; Teddy was on the other side of Rigel at the end.

The four friends pulled out their books and laid them on the desk, wondering what kind of teacher Moody was going to be; having know them all their lives. They chatted quietly, but soon the clunking footsteps coming down the hall told the Moody was on his way.

"You can put those away," He growled, the moment he stumped through the door, and over to his desk. "Those books, you won't need them." Moody took out a register, shook his long mane of grizzled gray hair, and begin to call out names. His magical eye fixed on each student as he answered. Harry noticed his eye seem to linger a little longer on him, then it did the others, which he found odd, even with his fame Moody never gave him much thought before.

"Right then," Moody said, when he read off the last person. "I've had a letter from Professor Lupin about this class, seems you have had luck tacking dark creatures...but you're behind..why behind, with dealing curse...something Lupin didn't seem to think you needed to know."

"Hey," Teddy cried out. Both Moody's eyes fixed on, then his fake eye dropped down to the list.

"Oh, Lupin." Moody said. "So you are Professor Lupin's..."

"Son." Teddy said, loudly, and there was no mistaken the pride in his voice.

"Yes, well, I only have one year to teach you, what you're father wouldn't." Moody said, and Teddy glared at him, and crossed his arms. "And that is, to show you just what wizard can do to one another." He gave a harsh laugh then clapped his hands together. "So, to the curses. They come in many strengths and forms. Now, the Ministry of magic wished for me to just show toy a bunch of nonsense countercurses and leave it at that. But I say the heck with them, what they don't know won't hurt them." Harry and Ginny looked at each other eyebrows raised.

"Now the curses I am going to show you, are the most cruel and evil curse known to wizardkind." Moody said. "They are called the Unforgivable curses. Now can anyone tell me.."

"Hang on." Ginny interrupted. "You can't go showing us those. They're the Unforgivable for a reason."

Moody grunted and looked down at his list of names. "Weasley, as in Arthur Weasley's daughter?"

"Yes," Ginny said.

"So, I guess you can tell me why they are known as the Unforgivable?" Moody said.

"Because," Ginny said. "They are Unforgivable, using them will get you a lifetime stay in Azkaban."

"Very good, Ms. Weasley," Moody said. "Now, can anyone tell me what one of these curses are?" No one raised a hand or said anything, Harry knew what the curses were, he had two of them used on him when he was eight, but he didn't want to say, he didn't want to remember all that. "No body," Harry knew Rigel knew them too, but Rigel wasn't one to answer a teacher.

"How about you, Black?" Moody said. Rigel glared at him, he hated to be called on. "I'm sure considering who your family is you can tell me."

"The Imperius curse." Rigel mumbled.

"Yes, the Imperius cruse." Moody said, he stood, picked up a bag laying next to him and came around to the front of his desk, and laid the bag down. "Yes, the Imperius cruse gave the Ministry a lot of trouble after the war, many on the Dark Lord's side claimed to have been bewitched, to get out of trouble, to have been put into the Imperius curse." He unzipped the bag and got out a jar, with a large spider in it. Harry heard Lavender Brown give a small scream, Ginny rolled her eyes. Ever since Harry had dated her last year Ginny had come to dislike Lavender Brown.

Moody took the led off, and brought the spider out. "There has been few people to fight the Imperius curse, but it take someone with a strong well, and a lot of strength to do it." He pointed his wand at the spider and it flew out of the jar on to the table. "Impero!" He cried, and then made the spider do all kinds of tricks, everyone but Harry and his friends laughed, then Moody left his wand and the spider stopped.

"Total control." Moody said. "They'll make you do anything, kill your friends, your family, yourself, and like I said not many can fight it, so best to just avoid it if you can." He put the spider back in the jar, then pulled out another one. "Can anyone give me the name of another one?" Moody waited and nobody raised their hand. "How about you, Lupin? You're daddy was once the DADA professor, I bit you know them all."

"Cruciatus Curse." Teddy said, looking down. Harry had once told all his friends what had happen that night with Voldemort. They all knew Harry had once been in that curse.

"Right you are." Moody said, he pointed his wand at the spider, and made it a little bigger, then cried. "Crucio,"

Harry closed his eyes and turned his head away, as the spider begin to thrust around in pain. The images of his mother under that same spell flashed through Harry's mind. Under the table Ginny took Harry's hand as a way to comfort him.

"Alright, you showed us, now knock it off." Rigel said. He didn't care who you were and wasn't scared of anyone, he told you like it was, which is why he was always in trouble.

"Pain," Moody said, as if he didn't even hear Rigel. "Pain beyond any of your wildest nightmares. Another spell best to avoid." He put that spider away and brought out another one. "Now can anybody tell me, what the last Unforgivable curse is?" Again no one raised their hand.

"Potter!" Moody snapped. "Now I know you know this cruse real well. Tell the class what it is, you are the only known survivor. Tell us what that curse is." Harry looked right into Moody's eyes, both of them and said.

"No,"

"No." Moody repeated. "Fine, then I'll show them, he pointed his wand at the last spider, and Harry once again closed his eyes and turned his head.

"Avada Kedavra," Moody cried. Harry could just picture in his head the poor spider falling down dead, he started to shake as the image of the spider turned into his mother.

"How could you do that?" Ginny cried. "How could you use that spell in front of us?" Harry's friends looked at him worried. He stopped shaken, and ducked down in his seat, face red, as the class room stared.

"Listen here, girl." Moody said. "Its my job to show you, what is what. If you can't handle it. then don't come to class."

Harry didn't go to dinner that evening, he didn't feel like eating, with his scar hurting again and the memory Moody's lesson brought back up, like he still didn't have enough nightmares about it. Harry sighed and leaned against the wall, and closed his eyes. He was sitting in a dark hall hardly anyone walked down anymore. He always came up here to think whenever he needed time alone.

"Hey, little bro." Cody was suddenly standing in front of him. "What are you doing up here all alone."

"How did you know I was here?" Harry asked, opening his eyes. Cody ran a hand through his hair and sat down in front of Harry. "Ginny was worried about you, she told me about Moody's class. About the spells he used." He reached out and ran a hand through Harry's hair. "Look I know it's hard, but try not to let it get to you."

"I miss Mum and Dad." Harry said. "Everything would be so much better if they were still here."

"I know." Cody said. "I miss them too, but you still got me and Jesse. Your friends, and little Ms. Ginevra Weasley."

"Cody, my scar has been hurting." Harry said. Cody frowned.

"What! why would it hurt?" Cody said. Hazel eyes full of concern.

"What if he's coming back?" Harry asked. "What if Voldemort comes after me again, what if you kills you or Jesse to get to me. I couldn't handle losing anymore family."

"Hey, you're not going to lose me or Jesse." Cody said. "Don't worry about Voldemort, you stopped him from getting the stone, he's not going to get his power back."

"But Dumbeldore said there was other ways." Harry said. Cody frowned.

"When did he tell you that?" Cody asked.

"First year." Harry said. "Right after I stopped Voldemort from getting the stone." Cody ran his hand through his dark red hair.

"You're telling me Dumbeldore told you, an eleven year old at the time, that Voldemort was going to return one day." Harry nodded. "Who the bloody hell would tell an eleven year old kid that?"

Harry didn't answer; he clapped his hand over his scar and cried out; as pain like never before shot through his scar. He closed his eyes groaning in pain.

"Lighting, you alright?" Cody asked, voice full of worry. "Lighting, come one answer me kido." Harry shook his head.

"Harry, please answer me." Cody said. If he hadn't been in so much pain, he would have been surprised at how frighten Cody sounded.

Harry suddenly leaned forward and got sick all over the floor, Cody jumped back so it would miss him, Harry then fall over on his side. Cody waved his wand and vanished the miss, so he wouldn't step in it, before getting kneeling in front of Harry and feeling of his forehead.

"Harry, you alright?" Cody asked. Harry didn't answer, he just closed his eyes, and Cody shook. "Harry, come on little brother, wake up." Cody was beyond panicked now, as he shook him again.

Last thing Harry remembered before blacking out was his older brother lifting him up, and carrying him down the corridor.

A.N. I know Harry' s scar hurt him in first year, but I thought it would be more frightening, and make people worry more if this was the first time it hurt, so I will just say, it hurts now, and not when Harry was by him in first year, because Voldemort was weaker than, and in someone else's body, so it was hard for the part of Voldemort's soul inside him to since that another part of it was near by, and now that Voldemort has gotten more powerful, that part inside Harry knows it, and is trying to connect with Voldemort, so that's why it's acting up now. And sorry if the chapters have been a little short, they'll get longer soon, I'm just trying to get all this out of the way so, I can get to Harry's name coming out of the Goblet, and I'll try not to be as long with the next chapter
