Harry cheerfully led Hagrid through Diagon Alley, gathering his school supplies. Hagrid seemed rather surprised that Sirius and Remus had that much money despite being on the run. Harry avoided the questions because, really, he didn't know either.

They even went to Knockturn Alley (much to Hagrid's dismay) to visit Venomclaw and stock up of some of the darker things that Sirius and Remus encouraged him to learn. He chatted to Venomclaw and his kid, Arizona (guess where he was born?) who preferred to go by Phoenix or (only by Harry) Ari, and was going into first year too, after having done all his previous schooling in Durmstrang 's primary school programme.

He had a disturbing fascination with the Dark Arts, and was slightly (very) reckless in trying out new spells. He had burned down a muggle apartment building in urban Ohio trying out Fiendfyre, killing five people, one of which was only seven years old. It was a ginger girl – Ginny Westly? They were only eight themselves at the time, and had snuck away from the playroom by breaking the numerus protection charms put in place to stop them from doing exactly that. Harry didn't have much to do with it, having been practising the Imperious Curse on some nearby ants at the time. They didn't mean any harm…

Ari could be very careless sometimes, even to the point of cruelty… He never really thought about what he did. He knew more Dark Magic than Voldemort himself, Ari did, and quickly got bored of even the worst of spells, going to the point of calling the unforgivables 'merciful' and 'unoriginal'.

He spoke in a slow, sarcastic, condescending drawl. He smiles seemed like sneers, his laughs came across mocking, even if he was trying to be friendly he seemed as though he was being mean; this took some getting used to on Harry's part.

Hagrid dropped him off back at the park when he was done, still wearing the exact same shocked, gaping face.

Once Hagrid had left, Harry got out a slightly larger than normal golden Snitch. He held down a tiny button on the top that you couldn't see unless you looked very closely.

'Tyler.' Harry said

Ari went by Tyler or Tyler-Lee or Lee occasionally too, Tyler Lee being his middle name. He responded to any one of them.

Harry walked home on his own as usual, hanging his coat and going straight up to his room without talking to anyone, again, as usual, but what he found on the fifth-floor landing was anything but usual.

'Professor Dumbledore, Sir?' Harry asked hesitantly. 'H-How?'

Nobody could get past their security, so that meant…

'Your godfathers were rather hesitant to let me in.' Dumbledore smiled pleasantly

I wonder why…

Harry just grinned back awkwardly, nodding.

'I simply wanted to make sure you know what you're signing for.' Dumbledore explained

His twinkling blue eyes held so many secrets, so much knowledge… This was the man that defeated Grindelwald, Ari's 'Senpai'.

'Yeah, I know. Everyone will think I'm evil, some will hate me, some will be petrified of me – most will fall into both categories. It's fine, I already have a friend – Pheonix – Arizona.' Harry said

'I was under the impression that was a city in America.' Dumbledore said, eyes sparkling with amusment. 'Nevertheless, I am glad you have a friend there, and that you know what's coming. But I must warn you, Harry, brace yourself.'

ANNOUNCEMENT!

I am thinking about focusing my attention on writing original content over on FictionPress. I have already uploaded an introd uction to a story called Queen Elizbeth School II for Girls, and am working on the second chapter (which will hopefully be a lot longer). I will still upload on here, just slightly less frequent. Also, anyone know how to change account name, if it's even possible. If you know, please put it as a review. Just review in general, it makes my day to see someone had reviewed, and I love getting feedback. I know it seems like I'm ignoring them, but I do read them, take them into consideration, and, if necessary, adapt my story to fit them. If you have any questions put them in the reviews and I'll reply in the author's note part of the end of the next chapter of that story, if that makes sense. Please review, favourite and have a great day!

P.S. iPod Reader, your comment made me laugh. Thanks for taking the time to review!
