An hour later, Harry and Rowena entered the office of Headmistress Alexandra Summers.
Sitting around her desk, were the teachers who had taken the students that broke into Harry's room to the headmistress, and the students self were standing with their back against the wall, looking miserable. Stephan was still bald from the curse that Harry had placed on him.
Giving the students the evil eye, Harry sat down in one of the chairs that was empty.
"Yes, Ma'am?" Asked Harry to the headmistress.
"Very well. Now that we are all here, I'd like to say this, Harry. While you handled correctly, I can't help but be disappointed that you used a curse on Mr. Witherspoon. You know the rules around Pacific. Therefor I'll give you a choice. You either are grounded for a month, so you can not play quidditch or fly when you want to. Or we remove ten golden coins. The choise is yours." Said Alexandra Summers, as she looked Harry directly in the eyes. Harry held his head up, so he looked at the headmistress. "I'll give the ten golden coins to Professor Lupin or Summers." Said Harry.
Alexandra nodded, before she turned to the students standing against the wall.
"I hope you know that you are very lucky, mister Witherspoon." She said as she waved her wand and undid the hair loss charm on Stephan.
"Mister Witherspoon, you and your friends here have broken three important rules here at Pacific. One: never enter the room of a student without permission. Two: destruction of personal property, including a four book diary about the development of a Phoenix and a book called Phoenixes, from egg to infinity, by Owen Potter and, Three: Clear intentions towards harming another student, namely Harry Potter. "
"For this, you all know the rules. Either you face expulsion or you will swear loyalty towards Harry Potter and House Potter. The choise is yours" Silence hang in the air, as Alexandra gave the students their choice.
Stephan stepped forward. "You'll better expel me, for I'll never will submit to an inferior house. My father will hear about this, and you will all face my fathers wrath."
Said Alex and he put Stephan back against the wall. "You know that, don't you kid? Your father may be a fair dueler, but he never is in my league"
"Professor, I have a question." Said Harry. All teachers and students looked at Harry, as he sat with Hedwig on his lap. The young phoenix seemed to be asleep. `why? Why did you enter my room? Why did you destroy my stuff?" Asked Harry as he looked into the eyes of Stephan.
"Why? I'll tell you why. You are nothing but a British Half-blood, unworthy of the attention that you get from the teachers. They should be focusing on me, as I am a American wizard whose line has remained pure for the last three hundred years."
Everyone looked at the snap that sounded in the office, as Remus Lupin had jumped out of his chair.
"I believe that you never paid attention in history? No of course not, It's one of your subjects where you fail entirely." Snarled Remus, as the werewolf inside him started to stir.
"Harry Potter may be a wizard born in Great Britain, but you are so stupid to believe that his heritage has anything to do with it. A witch or wizard is not born in greatness, they make their own greatness, and if you believe that you have more rights that him, then you are just delusional." Said Remus as he used his wand to repair the chair he sat in. The rail of the chair Remus had sat in was broken, as Remus heard Stephan's words.
"Very well, I'll inform your father and have you removed. To prevent harm to you and others around you, we'll have to bind your special powers" Said Alexandra as Alex removed his wand.
Said Alexandra, as Alex started to wave his wand around. "Wait" Said Harry, as he placed Hedwig on the desk of the headmistress and stood between Alex and Stephan. "Isn't there some sort of compromise? That Stephan stays here at Pacific and helps out in the hospital wing?" Harry asked, looking at Alex and Alexandra Summers.
The brother sister team looked at Harry, then to each other and then back.
"We can come up with a way. But we'll have to discuss this with his father." Said Alexandra as she wrote down a few lines and handed the rolled up note to Florida. "Dear, take this to the ministry and offer them a ride if they want to" She said, and Florida nodded before she vanished in a burst of flames.
"Gary Stone, Benjamin Recton and Oscar Binns. You are now suspended from Pacific Academy, until we can inform your parents. Do take this as a second chance. If I head one more complaint from a student or staff, I will not waste any breath and expel you from Pacific. Dismissed"
The three other students looked at the headmistress and nodded before they left the office in a hurry. Harry placed Hedwig back in his arms and with a bow to the teachers there removed himself from the office. "Let's go home Hedwig" Said Harry as he started to walk to his room in the Homestead.
The weeks after Harry's first painful attack of his scar, and the destruction of his room were of a quiet peace. Mr. Witherspoon, the head of the department of education, was very angry that his son would have done something as foolish as this. He clearly threatened his son with expulsion if he continued with his behaviour at Pacific. Stephan had given his apology to Harry in the middle of the great hall, in front of more than a hundred students. Gary, Benjamin and Oscar had done so as well. So Harry was paying attention to Professor de Blind, for the transfiguration lesson of turning an animal into a water goblet. They had the theory done a few years ago, but like most classes the professor had decided to make a review lesson before they would transfigured an animal.
Harry had asked to get a animal, as he didn't want to place Hedwig into that process. So while he tried to tap the cockatoo three times and said the words "Vera Verto" over and over again, his magic just didn't want to flow. Harry placed his wand with the feather of Hedwig and a male unicorn back and took out his other wand. The wand made of holly with a phoenix feather in it. Waving that wand around, Harry got the transfiguration from cockatoo to goblet. However there was a white shine on the goblet, revealing that the transfiguration was not perfect.
"What have we here" said Professor De Bruin. He picked up the transfigured goblet and started to examine it very carefully. "Well done mister Potter, although it's not perfect, it's much better than the others." Harry looked at the other students in his class and saw that most of them hadn't made their animal into a water goblet.
"Professor. When I used my first wand, I couldn't make the magic work. But now with my second wand I was able to transfigure the cockatoo into this goblet" Said Harry as he pointed at the goblet that was still in the Professor's hand. The professor placed down the goblet and with a wave of his wand undid the transformation from goblet to animal. "Show me, Mister Potter" Said the professor. Harry placed his holly wand back into his holster and pulled back his first wand with the tailhair and Hedwig's feather.
Several waves of his wand later, and Harry looked at the professor as he was eliminating his wand.
"Mmmm... The magic flows through this wand, but it cannot find an outlet." Mumbled the professor. Harry looked on as most students were now watching him and the professor. You could even see some of the students asking him why his wand wasn't working.
"Mister Potter. Tomorrow is Halloween. I want you to come with me to the wandmaker. Maybe he'll have an answer. For now use your other wand for the rest of the classes." Said the professor and walked away after giving Harry his wand back. Harry placed it in his wrist holster and removed from his waist holster his holly wand. Transfigurating the cockatoo back into a goblet, Harry could see that, while his magic was still a bit off, the goblet was a nice clear colour.
October 31st. Halloween. Pacific Academy.
Harry followed Professor de Bruin out in the open air. His phoenix Hedwig was sitting on his shoulder. Since the accident in Harry's room Hedwig never left her companion, and always was near Harry. Harry didn't mind, because he felt better with Hedwig around. She sometimes remembered Harry of a white snowy owl. She would have bene easily recognised, and could be tracked with a tracking charm if they ever got her.
The path that they were following was twisting and turning. It went straight into the forest, where Harry heard rumors of having a large colony of centaurs. Following the path, Harry soon saw a small cabin. The cabin was made from stone, and it's roof was made thatch. It almost looked angelic, if not for the old man who was sitting there on a bench in front of the house.
Grey hair, a beard as long as Professor Flamel and brown eyes were the most distinctive features of this man. The rest was hidden by a brown cloak that was wrapped around his body. "Sir, thank you for seeing us" Said Vincent de Bruin as he bowed before the old man. Harry followed his example and somehow got the feeling that the wandmaker had been expecting them.
"Your wand, boy" Said the old man, as he held out his old hand, filled with lines. Harry removed his wand and placed it in the man's hand.
"A core component is gone. Has your bird had a burning day?" Asked the man, as he moved his old hands over Harry's wand.
"Yes sir, She burned a few months ago." said Harry as he looked at the wand in the man's hand.
"There is the problem. A phoenix who had never burned will take the feather with her on her burning day. It is only the first time with a burning day that a feather that is worked into a core will burn. I'll make a new wand for you boy." Said the old man, and from it seemed nowhere he withdrew a supersharp knife and cut in Harry's wand.
Both Harry and the professor watched with awe as the wandmaker worked his magic. The only thing that was required of Harry was to donate a few drops of blood and a new feather from Hedwig. "Now your wand is keyed to you. Be careful with it, for this wand is made for greatness."
"Thank you sir" Said Harry as he started to walk away. He stopped and turned around. "Sir, pardon me, but what is the wand made of?"
The old man smiled. "The wand is made of Birch, and has a core of your blood, a phoenix feather from your phoenix and a Unicorn tail hair."
"Thank you sir"Said Harry and bowed before he followed the professor back towards Pacific.
Harry was just clearing the forest boundary, before he fell on his knees, grabbed his scar and started to scream. The pain was nothing he had ever experienced. The shock of seeing a student on the floor, screaming to all the world to hear. It was almost to much and Vincent shot his patronus to the castle, while he tried to keep Harry stable. Using the limited medical spells he knew, Professor de Bruin cast a heart monitoring charm on Harry. His heart rate was above the 200 beats per minute. Seeing his colleagues moving out of the castle, with Doctor Alan Richards and Evelyn, de Bruin pointed his wand at Harry. "Stupefy."
The last thing that Harry saw before he was stunned, was a curtain of red hair and something that looked like green scales.
