Harry remembered it all as he sat in a Bullhead returning to Beacon. How he, Ginny, Dora and Hermione were 'cast out' of Hufflepuff. How Gryffindor had accepted them and made them feel at home. As a 'sorry we are such big losers' Hufflepuff had given them a small gift, that turned out to be a cruel joke from several first year Badgers. How McGonagall and Sprout had raised heaven and hell on the badgers until they came with a true and honest apology. Harry and his friends had told them that they would never forget the cruelty of Hufflepuff house, no matter what they would offer to 'bridge the gap'.
While Hufflepuff was home for the first two months, Gryffindor seemed to be their calling now. The 'lion's den' as it was called was located on the seventh floor, but gave an excellent view of the surrounding area. The first major event with Gryffindor was the Quidditch match against Slytherin, that seemed to brag about winning the cup seven years in a row. Harry, being the seeker of the team, had been gifted a broomstick from Professor McGonagall. According to Oliver Wood, Quidditch Captain of Gryffindor, The Nimbus 2000 was the fastest broom in the world at the moment, with a prototype being created that was said to "shoot away like you were on fire".

The first match against Slytherin was a match where Harry felt truly at home in the air. Flying around the Gryffindors and Slytherins felt like he was back at Beacon, practicing with Coco or just sniping small Nevermore's over the Emerald forest. It was something that he was born to do, to do something that his birth father had done to.
Harry was flying so fast, that a certain professor was having trouble to lock Harry's broom in place and throw him off. Never mind the headmaster, who wanted to look at Harry's first game. While Slytherin used every dirty play in their books, and even trying to commit some fouls, they were unable to beat Gryffindor who played like they had their last game.
In the end, Harry Ozpin grabbed the snitch and ended the game when Gryffindor had a forty point lead on Slytherin. 260-70. A large party in Gryffindor tower that lasted to 1 AM in the morning, was the cause that many Gryffindor students slept in on Sunday.

Harry watched as familiar lands passed under him, while Ginny chatted with Dora and Hermione. Both girls had been given permission to join the two week holiday at Harry's and Ginny's home. While Molly Weasley had all but demanded that Ginny would spend the holidays at the Burrow, Ginny had flat-out refused to meet the womans demands. Ginny was busy in her head, to write a letter to Molly, politely telling her to piss off.
Hermione was on a mission of her own. After hearing about Remnant from Harry and Ginny, she wrote about it to her parents and as the truth came out, Hermione started to understand why she was a faunus with cat ears. Her great-grandparents on her mother's side, coming from Remnant, had fled the war that was going on. Traveling via Mistral, they bought a boat and sailed towards Britain, where they laid low and started to work like every other man and woman. Never telling anything about their escape from Remnant, the history was only written down in a small book, and passed down from eldest child to eldest child. Now it was in possession of Rose Granger, a dentist who had in her ancestors-line a faunus who had also cat ears. Hermione's quest was to find out if her parents could come to Vale, and if possible, could continue their practice in Vale.

Dora had been given permission by her parents to enjoy the two week holiday, while they went on a second honeymoon trip to the Bahama's. Happy that their daughter was adapting so well to Hogwarts, after the 'incident' on the Hogwarts express, Andromeda Tonks and Ted Tonks had waved goodbye to her, as she grabbed the port-key to the platform where Bullheads were flying into Remnant. Now, Harry could clearly see the beacon that was shining it's light over Vale.
"Look, there it is" Harry said, as he pointed to the large beacon. The fifth and final person on board was Professor McGonagall. She had only a few of her Gryffindors staying at the castle, and had asked Filius Flitwick, head of Ravenclaw house to watch over them. Thus giving her the perfect chance to see where Harry and Ginny had grown up. She looked over Harry in the direction he pointed and saw a large tower giving off some light.

"Is that the beacon that shines over the city of Vale?" Hermione asked as she watched from behind Professor McGonagall. Harry nodded.
"Yeah. That beacon is one of four that stand at heavily defended area's, just as Beacon Academy. One other stand in Atlas, on an military base, where General Ironwood holds court. There is also a beacon near the best combat school in Vacuo and Mistral. According to some rumors and legends, the four beacons of Remnant shine their light upon everyone who fights for the survival of Remnant."
A holographic image of a young woman wearing a air hostess costume appeared between them, giving Dora, Hermione and McGonagall a small scare. "Please be ready to disembark. We are approaching Beacon Academy. Have a nice day and thank you for flying Bullhead flights."

The image disappeared again, and several seconds later, Harry stepped out of the Bullhead, before he helped his friends and his head of house out of the ship. With all their trunks behind them, McGonagall cast a levitation charm and the trunks rose a feet in the air before they followed the group over the main avenue. Harry and Ginny guided their friends and Professor McGonagall to the main entrance and through the door, while they talked about Beacon Academy, or as they called it, Home. They could see that their guest were impressed, as they continued to see technological marvel after marvel while they made their way to the amphitheater. According to them, Glynda Goodwitch was usually there, and Harry had promised that he would stop there, before he would go to his own room.

The amphitheater was easy to find, just follow the signs. Approaching the theater, Harry opened the door and walked in, just as a certain girl wanted to walk out. Colliding with each other, Harry looked up and rose his eyebrow. The girl was completely dressed in black, with a red cape and red accents in her hair, while she wore a small suitcase on her lower back. Her most prominent feature was her silver eyes.
"Ruby, you dunce. Watch where you are going." Scolded a girl, with white hair, an off center pony-tale, and more white that Harry had seen before. She was also wearing a rapier blade, that she had holstered on her left side.
"Sorry" The girl with silver eyes said, as she shook her head. "Yeah, sorry about that." Harry said as he looked around. His friends and Professor McGonagall were smiling, if just slightly.

"Hi, my name is Harry Ozpin, what's yours?" Harry asked as he held out his hand. The girls all looked at Harry as if he was something they never had seen before.
"The headmaster has a son?" The girl in white asked, as she looked at Harry. Harry was slowly getting a bit nervous as the girl in white kept her eyes on him, even looking to analise him. 'Oh shit' Harry thought as he saw the girl frowning.
"You know, if you keep looking at me like that, your face will stay that way" Harry said as he took a step back. The girl in white was creeping him out. The girl blinked twice, before she put her nose up in the air and left, walking out the theater and completely ignoring them.

Harry looked at the girl and shook his head. "Don't mind her, she's not having a very good day" The girl in black with red said. "That's Weiss Schnee and I'm Ruby Rose." She held Harry's hand before she pulled him in and gave him a hug. "AHHH, you're cute." she squealed as she started to spin Harry around, while Harry was trying to break free from Ruby's iron tight grip.
"Ruby" A voice called and as Harry was put on the ground he was picked up by another girl, a few years older than Ruby with long yellow blond hair. She wore a brown top with a yellow shirt under it, and had lilac eyes. "I can see why Ruby likes you, your really are cute." The girl said as she held Harry tight to her body. Harry tried to break free, but all he could do was trying to breathe, and to keep away from this girl's large chest.

"Yang, you're strangling him" A girl said as Harry almost passed out. Harry was then placed back on the floor and took several deep breaths. "Damn, don't you know your own strength?" Harry asked. The girl's lilac eyes turned red in an instant and Harry spotted the girl's hands moving to hit him. Reacting instinctively, Harry shot his arms out, and as the hand of the now red eyes girl connected with his own, Harry pushed his semblance forth, causing a shimmer before both Harry and the girl were blasted away from each other. Harry flew right into Ginny and Dora who caught him, while the girl who punched him flew several meters away before she landed on her feet.
"What was that?" She asked her partner, a black haired girl wearing black and white.

"Mum" Ginny called as she saw Goodwitch approaching. Glynda had a smile on her face as she gave Ginny a fierce hug, almost to the point of suffocating. "It hasn't been the same without you two here" Glynda said as she wiped away a few tears.
"Did that girl just said 'mum' to Goodwitch?" Yang asked to her partner. "I think so" she replied. "But Blake, why didn't we knew that?" Yang demanded as he hair started to light up. Blake was about to respond, but was interrupted by Hermione's reaction to Yang's hair. "How is she doing that?"
Both Yang and Blake looked at the little bushy haired girl with big brown eyes that showed nothing but curiosity. It reminded Blake a bit of herself, when she was younger and far more innocent.
"Harry" Glynda called as she ran towards Harry, causing Blake and Yang to avoid the professor. Harry found himself in his aunt's arms and undergoing a strong hug. "I've missed you so" Glynda said, totally ignoring Yang and Blake as they watched professor Goodwitch and Harry interacting.

"They do love each other." Blake said softly.
"Of course they do. They are family after-all" Said Ginny as she came from behind Glynda. "While not in blood, they are family in heart. Something that you could feel if you opened up your heart for it." Ginny said, as she gently pulled Harry from Glynda and told them to see them soon in the headmasters office. She then escorted Hermione, Dora and Professor McGonagall to her own room, where she told Harry to place his Hogwarts clothes in the closet and get dressed in his normal clothing. Harry nodded and after finishing with his chore, Harry walked through a door that connected with a large bathroom with several panels that shielded most of his body, yet allowed him to talk with Ginny, who came in a few minutes later to change in her own clothes.
As Harry stepped outside the bathroom, his friends and head of house took a good look at Harry's appearance.

Harry had an open red vest, and they could see two white axes crossed on a black shirt, surrounded by a thin line that ran in a circle with a shoulder-strap going diagonally over it. The vest had extra protection at the elbows and two pockets on either side. Harry had black trousers with extra protection on his knees, with a black belt that held his secondary weapon, Hammer. His shoes looked like combat boots. "So, how do I look?" Harry asked as he showed his outfit to everyone. Dora and Hermione both wished they all were a few years older. They thought that Harry looked fan-fucking-tastic.

Ginny came out of the bathroom, looking at Harry's back. "Still looking good, Harry. And what do you think of my outfit?"
Ginny wore a red shirt with the same logo as Harry had on his shirt. She wore a brown open trench-coat with a black forearm guard over her left sleeve that held Ginny's shield, Saving Grace. The elbows were protected as well. Ginny wore black jeans with knee protection, and a belt hung slightly off-center to carry some extra ammunition and to carry her own weapons.
Just like Harry, Ginny wore combat boots, in a more feminine form that Harry's. "I think you both look good. Shall we visit the headmaster?" McGonagall asked as she looked at two of her lions.
Harry nodded and took his friends to the elevator that connected to Professor Ozpin's office.

As they all walked in, the elevator started to move, bringing them to Ozpin's office.
The door opened and as harry and Ginny stepped out, they were assaulted by Ozpin himself who picked both children up and twisted them around, before setting them on the floor. "I've missed you two so much" He whispered, as he held them close to him.
"He dad. I've missed you to." Harry said as he was let go by his father. "Dad. I'd like you to meet two of my friends. This is Hermione Granger, whose great-grandparents fled Remnant during the war. She's one of our best friends" Harry said as he pointed to Hermione. The young girl blushed a bit, but bowed back as she stepped in the office with Tonks and McGonagall. "Then we have Dora Tonks. We've shortened her name, as it's a sore subject with her."

Ozpin looked at Dora, who blushed a bit, causing her hair to color the same. Ozpin raised an elegant eyebrow, before he looked at Harry. "Since when do you have a friend who can change her hair color, Harry?" Ozpin asked with a teasing tone. Harry sighed.
"She's whats called a Metamorphmagus in the wizarding world. That means that she can change her appearance at will, but we've only been able to seen her change her hair color." Harry then stepped closer to Ozpin. "She somehow likes pink hair" Harry whispered to his dad. Ozpin nodded, a thin smile on his face.

"And finally, we have Professor McGonagall. Deputy-headmistress, transfigurations professor and head of Gryffindor house."
Ozpin nodded to the strict looking professor, and held out his hand. "Professor McGonagall, please allow me to welcome you at Beacon Academy, the finest academy to train Huntsmen and Huntresses."
McGonagall shook his hand, a thin smile on her face. "Professor Ozpin. A pleasure to meet you. Your son has been telling many stories of Beacon, a fact I may add that showed a gentle but firm education. I look forward to see more of Beacon in the time that I am here."
Ozpin blinked. "I'm sorry madam, I was unaware that you were planning to stay for the Holidays."
McGonagall nodded. "Yes, there are several things that need to be discussed, including the continuation of Harry's magical education."

"Continuation?" Ozpin asked, eyebrow raised.
"The only thing I know about Harry's magical education is that I made a deal with Albus Dumbledore. He told me that he would search for a way to remove or modify the veil around Remnant, so that we don't attract to much Grimm. In return, Harry would attend one year at Hogwarts. That was the time that Dumbledore needed to do his research."
"I'm afraid that Dumbledore may have misinformed you. You see, Hogwarts has two tests that need to be done. One is in the fifth year, and the other in the seventh. All students who enter Hogwarts must take their O.W.L's before they can choose to leave school or to continue their education."
Ozpin was looking at McGonagall with something like curiosity in his eyes. "I assume that Dumbledore didn't inform me of this, because of Harry's status in the wizarding world?"

McGonagall nodded. "Harry" Ozpin said, as he still sat behind his desk. "I want you to take your friends and give them a scroll. Then place two more beds in your and Ginny's room. Ask Doctor Oobleck for help if you need it. I think that McGonagall and I are going to have a bit to discuss."
Harry nodded, and took Ginny and his friends by the arm and in the elevator. The door closed and they felt the elevator moving down, when they heard a 'BANG' coming from Ozpin's office.
"Oh Shit. Dad's angry" Harry said as he paled. He had seen his father that angry only once. That wasn't a good day for them all at Beacon, as Ozpin had been hunting students for the whole day.
Some kids thought it would be fun to release some captured Grimm in the school. Ozpin had defeated the Grimm, but several students had been injured.

The elevator finally stopped, allowing the quartet to step out of it. Ginny led them to the storage compartment, while Harry went in search of Doctor Oobleck.
As Ginny entered the hall were all the spare items were stored, they ran into a girl with long red hair, green eyes and wearing Spartan armor. Ginny looked at the taller girl before her and the tall girl looked back.
"Aren't you a little young to attend Beacon?" The girl asked. Ginny didn't respond, as she was staring at the girl. Finally Ginny let out a very fan girl-like scream and started yelling. "You're Pyrrha Nikos. I'm your biggest fan."

Before Pyrrha Nikos could respond, Harry came running towards them, Child's-play already armed and ready. "What is it Ginny, I heard screaming and, Oh.." Harry stared at Pyrrha before looking back at Ginny. "She's a big fan of you" Harry said as he waved his hands in front of Ginny's eyes, but Ginny didn't seem to notice. Some drool of her was falling from her mouth to the floor.
"I see that" Pyrrha said as she knelled slightly to look Harry in the eye. "As I was asking your friends, aren't you a bit to young to attend Beacon?"
"Nope" Harry said, making sure to pop the p. "I'm Harry Ozpin, this is Ginny Goodwitch." He said introducing himself and Ginny.

Pyrrha stared at Harry for a moment, before nodding. "Sure, sure. I bet that you tell that to everyone" She said with a smile.
"You don't believe me?" Harry asked, sounding part wounded, part angry that she didn't believe him. "No. I believe you,. It's just very hard to see those two Professors in a relationship. Professor Ozpin is quite relaxed and Professor Goodwitch is usually very strict."

"Well, We are adopted" Harry said as he looked in the green eyes of Pyrrha. 'That makes more sense" She said as she ruffled both Harry's and Ginny's head, before she left, waving goodbye.
"I never got the chance to get an autograph" Ginny said. Her face was almost as red as Harry's vest, and Harry could see some tear-marks on her face.
"Don't worry Ginny. I'm sure that we'll meet her again someday. After all, we've got two weeks of holidays ahead of us. You might want to try to sneak a little training with her in your not so busy schedule." Harry said with a wink.
Ginny nodded. The prospect of being around Pyrrha Nikos, and maybe even training with her sounded awesome. Ginny took out her own scroll and opened the door. "Be right back" Ginny said as she entered the storage room. She was back within thirty seconds, holding two small rectangular items in her hand. She passed one to Hermione and one to Dora before she guided them back to her room that she shared with Harry.

"Now, let's start with the first lesson of operating your scroll" Harry said, as he tried to imitate Professor Binns, who gave history of magic at Hogwarts. The girls smiled slightly, as Harry began to teach them how to use a scroll.


(A/N) Yes. It's very well possible that you think that Ozpin never gets angry. I believe that he does, It's just that we never see that.
Please. Review gentle and with kind words. Some think that I am an emotional time-bomb and need to be handled with care...
We'll try it that way, Okay?
