Harry noticed that the kids from the muggle world were a bit better off than the magical ones. It was likely because muggle schools taught physical education and so they were more fit and better able to do the long treks required in a castle this size. Harry and Hermione had an even easier time because their memories made it so they didn't get lost very often.
Harry was also glad to be home schooled as well. The class load was very light. Most essays given wanted 25 centimeters to a meter of parchment. Which was about one front of a notebook page to 3 pages front and back. That wasn't all that much. About the same amount was needed for his muggle history and literature classes. Plus 2-4 workbook pages for math and science. It kept him busy but not swamped.
He had plenty of time to spend with Terry and Hermione in the library just reading for fun. With Seamus and Dean playing football and with Neville in the greenhouses. Harry also had time for himself to do things he wanted. Not all were teacher approved activities such as investigating the third floor corridor and exploring the Forbidden Forest. At first Harry was reluctant to go into the forest. Until he learned it was just called Forbidden and was really forbidden, like the fruit from the tree of knowledge had been... still was. Harry had little respect for things people called forbidden, or impossible. Harry was of the belief only God, or maybe Raziel, could REALLY forbid anything.
Harry hadn't had any dreams of Heaven so far. His mind was all clogged with magic and Hogwarts. It was nearly October when he had one.
Harry entered the dream scape just as Raguel entered a training area. Before him stood over 5,000 angels. Male and female alike. All with large, powerful, midnight blue wings. Raguel couldn't help the pride he felt. These were his Virtues, his Garrison. He inducted each into his rank and not one had ever failed him. Their training was not just the body. No Raguel required that each Virtue be able to recite all the Divine Laws. They are taught how to tell when another has broken one of the laws and how to administer justice.
The hardest part is teaching his Virtues the difference between just punishment and cruel punishment. Teaching them that justice and vengeance are never the same thing... almost never. They are also soldiers. Warriors against the demons that would corrupt mortals.
Today Raguel stood before his entire Garrison. He called out a list of names, over 100 of them. When those Virtues stepped forward he gave them orders to watch over the heavens. These were young and not fully trained yet.
"And for all others." He said once those 100 were gone to their posts. "A hell gate has opened. We are to keep the scum at bay. Return the beasts to their plane. Protect the innocents. Don't let the Seraphim bully you." Raguel order.
"Take up your arms and let us fly!" He called out spreading his massive wings and raising his war hammer. The Virtues also gave a battle cry and they all took to the air.
It was awe inspiring watching the hoard of Virtues flying to Earth to fight the demons released. Harry saw coming from another direction Michael leading the Seraphim. Michael's wings were sleeker then his more like a razor than a shield. He was young, muscular and tan. Hazel eyes dark with blood lust, white-blonde hair cut short. He was the nearest thing heaven had to an angel of war. He was fearless and powerful, but in the same breath over confident and egotistical. Raguel had been forced to punish him more than once for over stepping his bonds.
The battle was long and bloody with many innocents dieing in the crossfire. When the fighting finally ended the Virtues joined the guardians in helping the survivors coup. They offered guidance, compassion and love to the suffering souls. Coming down with the guardians were Zadkiel and Azrael, along with his dominions. Raguel smiled at Azrael. He could see his brother but he could also see the mid 40's friar that was his vessel.
Zadkiel took command of the guardians directing them and the Virtues on who needed the most help. Thankfully he too was wearing a vessel. His true form would have unnerved or even frightened the mortals. In his true form he was tall and slender (6'4) his hair was rainbow colored and eyes that could change with his emotions, now they were a blue black tone in response to his sadness. His skin was a green gold color that seemed to shimmer in the sunlight.
Latter on Raguel saw the other leader of the Guardians. He didn't like seeing Chamuel in this kind of place. He was usually so full of life and happiness his turquoise eyes dancing with joy and love. He was young and very handsome, wavy clay colored hair and sun kissed skin made many mortal women swoon. He had heard some of the more crude angels call Chamuel 'sex on a stick.' Harry and Raguel shuttered in repulsion at thinking that sort of thing about their brother.
Harry didn't wake until the Virtues were leaving to return to heaven. As soon as he woke he ran to the bathroom to vomit. Seeing a battle didn't have much of an effect on Raguel but it turned Harry green. He wasn't much conversation the rest of the day. All his friends just assumed he was feeling under the weather and left him be.
LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLll
AN: Zadkiel's skin is like Rumpelstiltskin from Once Upon a Time. Being the angel of transformation he's like a metamorph and can change his looks however he wants.
The humans can see them at this time because they have faith and believe in the divine powers.
In my head cannon the reason Dean couldn't see Cas outside the vessel was due to lack of faith. The reason Pamela's eyes burned out was that she saw not his true form but his pure grace.
What the angels do that I have introduced so far:
Raguel; Oversee the others, harmony, Divine order, justice, resolve conflicts, vengeance
Chamuel; Love, comfort, finding lost things, co-leader of the Guardians
Zadkiel; forgiveness, mercy, transformation, co-leader of Guardians
Michael; Protection, courage, power, strength, remove fear in warriors
Lucifer; renewal, awakening, new beginnings, Places souls during rebirth. Marks and creates vessels
Gabriel; Conception, adoption, art, communication, messengers, creativity, prophecy. Cares for souls waiting for rebirth
Ariel; Animals, especially the wild ones
Azrael; Death, helps souls cross over, Leader of the Diminions (aka kyriotetes)
Raziel; knows EVERYTHING. Alchemy, magic, guards the library of Heaven
Uriel; Literature, music, studies, natural disasters and there recovery
Raphael; Joy, laughter, medicine, healing, cares for the tree of life
Most of the angel info is from: .
Info on Lucifer I made up using a dream interpreting site and the term dawn since Lucifer means morning star and that's the closest I could find. ;)
