AUTHORS NOTE: Thanks for the reviews guys. They were very helpful and gave me a lot of boost. I am trying to correct the mistakes I did in previous chapters. Pairing is coming soon and it will be Harry/Padma/Parvati. I still don't know about Lilly but James won't disown Harry till end of first year. James wont disown Harry till end of first year as they plan on transferring Harry's magic to Dan and Rose on learning about it when he gets letters from many schools. No they won't know it was Harry who beat them so bad till fourth year at Hogwarts. There will be subsequent duels and Harry will rise politically. Please read and Review. Next chapter coming up in few hours. Yes its right "hours" Enjoy.

As Harry heard the reports of healers he felt elated. He beat his brother to blink of a death and dint even use his special abilities or his powers. Heck he didn't even use 10% of his magic. If this is what training with Dumbledore would do he was happy he wasn't training with him.

As he was waiting for Duels of other age groups to finish he was confronted by Lilly who left her children's side as they were resting and she wanted to find out what caused the unknown boy to cause them such harm.

"Excuse me Mr. Rowthorn could I have a moment of yours please." Lilly asked with her voice cold

"What do you want?" the question came from Perene in an equally cold voice.

"We just wanted to know what caused you to hurt my children so badly." Alice said who just joined the discussion.

Perene was about to reply but was beat to it by Harry saying "Because I could"

This shocked everyone except Perene and Nicholas who knew the truth.

"Then why dint you do the same with other kids?" asked Lilly perplexed that he hurt them only because he could.

"It is none of your business but as I want to answer you I wanted to test the true strength of so called saviors."

"And what did you find out?" asked Dumbledore in a grandfatherly manner.

Harry sneered at him and said "they are less than average and mediocre to the best and would not last even a minute in a real fight."

Dumbledore looked appalled and outraged at this kid's arrogance. But he spoke up "So, my boy you believe yourself to be better than the children who lived?" he asked in triumph as if the phrase children-who-lived answered every question. Harry was enjoying this immensely.

"No. I don't believe I am better than them" and at this Dumbledore looked victorious as many people gathered to see the confrontation only to realize that Harry dint finish yet.

"I know for a fact that I am infinitely better than all those pathetic four put together. The fact that none of them could land a single spell on me while I wiped the floor clean with them proves it. And it is Mr. Rowthorn for you Dumbledore."

Only then Dumbledore noticed the crowed of reporters and his old friend Nicholas Flamel and slightly paled before he went back to normal. Though others dint notice it Harry with his trained eye didn't miss it.

"Ah Nicholas how nice to see you here." Dumbledore said with a smile which Harry immediately deduced was not genuine. Dumbledore's body language clearly showed fear but not of Nicks power. Harry decided to ponder later and came out of his thoughts to here Nick saying

"I accompanied young Alex here. He is my apprentice and unlike you I know that he will finish his masters in Alchemy". At this dumbles turned red.

"That explains a lot of how you were not in the country for past few years and this young mans talent and skill." He said but was thinking 'if I could force Nicholas to train the children and give up this kid they will be as good as him in few months'

"Could I request a private meeting with you and this young boy later?" he asked thinking them to accept immediately. But the kids reply caught him off guard once again.

"I am sorry sir but we have a busy schedule. May be later."

At this Dumbledore turned to Nicholas as if he would contradict the kid but when Nick maintained silence he left along with others. Harry was enjoying this day too much.

Dumbledore met James and said

"James use any means required to injure the kid severely. I want our children to be trained by Nicholas and he is standing in between."

"Even if it wasn't for training I will put down the kid on death bed professor. He hurt Rose and Dan. Not to mention even Glory is severely hurt."

Dumbledore looked calculatingly and said

"Use dark curses if required. The kid needs to go down" James nodded his head and left. Unknown to them Harry and Flamel's were listening through the eavesdropping charm cast silently and wandlessly by Harry.

Perene said her voice showing all her anger and hatred for potters

"Harry I don't know what you will do. But I want James potter unfit for Auror duty" Harry smiled and nodded.

Soon the duel between champions of age groups 8-11 and 11-13 was called and Harry was facing a Boy with pointed face and sandy brown hair. He said lets make this duel remarkable. Harry smiled and agreed by nodding. Soon Harry took his position and was analyzing his opponent.

Opponent using basic defensive stance. First point of attack: floor. Disturb the ground and cause him to loose balance. He will fire curse in panic. Dodge and fire sharp stinging hex at his wand arm leaving him defenseless. Disarm and stun.

As soon as the spell began Harry fired a powerful earth moving curse at the boy's feet dodging his powerful stunner. Everyone thought that Alexander has missed his aim for the first time but were proven wrong as the ground shock causing the ground beneath the stage to shake and the boy to lose his footing. Soon Harry fired a stinging hex keeping the ground shaking and effectively keeping opponent on ground. As soon as the curse left Harry's wand he dodged a curse from his opponent and fired a disarmer which impacted perfectly after the opening left by his well placed stinging hex. Harry sent stunner at disarmed foe and ended the duel. It took less than a minute and when people realized what happened there were cheers and people were shouting "Alex Alex Alex…" "Harry enervated his opponent and shook hands with him. The boy introduced himself as Cedric diggory and was first year at Hogwarts. Harry conversed with him for a minute when he herd announcement of next duel. He immediately concentrated on the duel to find the fighting technique of his next opponent. When Cedric asked why he was concentrating so much Harry replied "Never underestimate your opponent and know your enemy." Cedric took the message to Heart. Little did he know he will require it coming year's.

Soon they reached the final Duel of the day. Alexander Rowthorn VS James Potter. Soon the crowd was cheering "Alex…. Alex ….Alex"

Harry went into arena to find the stage replaced by a stadium consisting of ground filled with rocks and mud. Harry decided he will use nature against his foe.

As James stepped into arena Harry started his analysis.

His advantage: knowing my style, my advantage: his rage. Incoming assault: week but experienced. Counter with "deflecto" giving advantage by confusing him. Transfigure the ground below his feet to Quick sand and distract. Send overpowered "reducto" to break his shield and fling him in air. Bombard with conjured needles and strike with lightening. Maximize gravity before he touches ground and make the impact painful. Shatter his bones and spine. Split his muscles. Cause internal bleeding. Break kneecaps. Wreck his rib cage. Cause sever burns. Finally Stun. Conclusion: Inevitable.

As the duel started James sent barrage of curses as expected.

Harry used the spell he crafted himself which was capable of deflecting even the killing curse. He deflected all the curses back to James who was now on defensive and was clearly shocked as this kid deflected all his curses like cutting a cake.

But he dint have time to ponder as he found his feet were quickly sinking into quick sand. He quickly cancelled the transfugation only to find himself being hit by a overpowered reducto curse. A few ribs cracked but his armor protected him.

But this dint last long as he was bombarded by sharp needles which by now people believed was Alex's signature move.

Harry quickly called upon lightening and struck James nearly killing him from electric shock.

James vaguely maintained his consciousness only to be pulled down roughly onto rocky terrain by increased gravity.

His spine hit a sharp rock and split. A few bone shattering curses followed along with mussel tearing curses.

As he was about to pass out he felt his knee caps break and rib cage shatter. He didn't register being heavily burned and stunned.

As Harry sent all the spells while James was still conscious he couldn't be punished.

Dumbledore looked appalled. If the boy could do this to James, one of his best without taking a scratch then he required him under his thumb. He quickly made up his mind and told Auror's to surround the kid and not to let him go.

As Harry was questioning why he was being with held by the Auror's, Dumbledore came and replied in a stern voice.

"You used unregistered spell to deflect Auror James Potter's spells in a competition and hence are liable to trial."

Harry looked at the fool and replied angrily

"Mr. Dumbledore don't make false accusations because your man can't take few hits. Just because you don't have time to fulfill your duties it doesn't mean you have right to arrest whom ever you want. The spell I used is registered under family magic. Moreover you should be calling James potter to trail as he used some dark spells which dint go unnoticed by Judges I presume. But I will let it pass as he is no condition to attend a trail and it was a friendly duel and not a competition".

At this point Dumbledore tried to legilemense Harry who quickly got hold of the probe.

"Ah Dumbledore kids like you should not play with such mind magic's. You could get hurt."

Saying this he started to tug on the probe and Dumbledore was in pain. Everyone looked appalled at the boy's arrogance. Little did they know as of now he could kill Dumbledore and no one is better to know.

Dumbledore tried to retract the probe but Harry held on and traveled through it to his core. He brushed the core causing Dumbledore to squeal in pain and shocking everyone.

"It is not good to use legilemency on your betters. I thought you learnt your lesson when you got your butt kicked by my aunt Anna Celina."

At this Dumbledore was shocked and it registered how the kid said he had more sway in ICW than him. His aunt was greatest war mage and best at mind magic's. Little did dumb-old-dork know that Harry has surpassed her and could kill him now in a blink of an eye.

He pleaded "Please"

Harry let go of the probe and said "Next time ill leave you practically as a squib."

As Harry noticed that the Auror's were not moving and fudge was saying to arrest the boy for using dark magic on Albus Dumbledore he said

"Minister He used legilemency on me and I merely defended. You can question me under Vetraserum. And I would ask your Auror's not to block path of a person who is citizen of six countries in ICW. As the gravity of situation registered with Minister Fudge and finding Dumbledore still down in pain he ordered his Auror's to stand back.

Harry left to potter manor after taking his trophy and giving it to Nick and promised to come back later…

Harry went to Potter Manor only to find his parents and siblings have not returned. He assumed they must be at Hogwarts hospital wing or more likely in St. Mungos. He quickly changed and waited for someone to come home and give him news. He wanted to see how Potters covered this up as they were publicly humiliated and there were reporters from various newspapers who saw how he beat the fabulous four and Dan's cheating. He knew Prophet will have a field day. He also suspected and hoped that the reporters will pull Dumbledore into this mess.

Harry hated the old coot. He was reason for all this mess from the start and he never learnt from his mistakes. His 'everyone deserves a second chance motto' has cost many lives. His was one of them. As much as he blamed his parents for their neglect he knew it was him who declared Harry a squib. With his half knowledge he is bound to destroy Brittan if left unchecked. Harry remembered Charles Xavier's teaching

"Half knowledge is most dangerous Harry. You won't be able to resist the temptation to try and won't be able to finish what you started. This can result in huge catastrophes."

Harry missed his mentors as much as he missed his parents. Though he wrote to them regularly and mirror conversed it was not like being with them. Ra's was busy training his friends and Sherlock was busy with cases as usual. Aunt Celina had little time after finishing her duties and she was currently seeing Jason Grey. They got together after Harry started his training with Jason. Only Albert and Charles had a regular correspondence with him. He was ok with it but couldn't help missing them.

Next days Prophet arrived and Harry immediately wrote to Lilly asking her how others were. He re read the article on front page showing his images of duels with all potters.

CHOSEN ONES BEATEN TO PULP

Dumbledore Penalized for interference

Yesterday the annual dueling circuit conducted which was made international in the last moments on request from ICW has seen some spectacular duels. But what surprised us and the people was the final outcome of the tournament. Undoing all the expectations that one of the Children-who-lived will be the champion ALEXANDER ROWTHORN has beaten everyone to the championship with relative ease. It would be an understatement to say that the audience and judges were highly impressed as by the time the dueling circuit came to an end cheers erupted and everyone had only one name on their tongues.(for more details on various matches and results see page 9).

Alexander Rowthorn had beaten three of the chosen ones. In the quarterfinals he was faced of with our own Glory Longbottom and everyone presumed she will have an easy win against this unknown boy though he showed some skill in previous matches. What happened next left everyone in the stadium perplexed as Alex finished the match even before Glory could fully try. (For details see page 6). When Frank Longbottom accused the winning boy for use of dark arts to secure the win he coolly admonished the false accusations and asked him to prove them. He later complained to Judges on suppression of his magical core by ALBUS DUMBLEDORE which was proven to be true. We from Prophet question our readers "Is this proper of the so called leader of light to crush the competitive spirit of such event to prove a false notion that the children-who-lived are highly powerful when they are not?" He was penalized for this act of caution as he described it.

Alex next faced Rose Potter and beat her with same ease. What happened in the finals was an entirely shocking act. Dan potter understanding that he cannot win head on brought additional support into the ring. Sirius Black was later found stunned and under disillusion due to extraordinary skills of Alexander Rowthorn. What we could find about him was very little. It is apparent from our sources that he has stayed in America and only recently relocated to England. He is son of Lord Rowthorn and heir of the family line. It was also found that he is apprentice of great alchemist Nicholas Flamel and is nephew of most influential member of ICW, Anna Celina, chief war mage and three time winner of order of Merlin (first class).

In the friendly matches that followed James Potter tried to get revenge for his children's defeat by using some borderline dark curses. When Alex won the duel using his family magic ministry tried to arrest the young champion only to be thwarted with threat of war from six countries. James Potter as of now is hospitalized in St. Mungos with his children and Miss. Longbottom and will require at least twelve weeks to recover according to healers. Healers also declared him unfit to go on as Auror even after recovery. We couldn't get any statements from Mr. Rowthorn as he immediately left after the awarding ceremony.

Harry dint go through other articles as he fell down laughing. If one single tournament could do this, he couldn't wait for next one. He mirror called Nick and said about his letter to Lilly. Perene asked him to come home as soon as possible to which he replied he would.

After few hours Remus came and took Harry along with him to Hogwarts. He told Harry that his parents and siblings were relocated to Hogwarts and his mother will be staying there in guest quarters to look after his father and siblings. Harry felt like jumping but controlled and put a somber expression as he entered the hospital chambers.

As he entered he saw Lilly crying and complaining to Alice how that kid was a monster. He thought 'what about monsters in you'. When she saw Harry she wiped her eyes and called him near her.

He asked her "How?" when she kept a vacant expression he asked again "How did this happen?"

She started "There was a boy..." but was cutoff as Harry said

"I read the prophet. I know what happened. I want to know how it happened and how bad it is. You said they were best and were trained by Dumbledore and no one would be able to defeat them. Then how?"

Lilly dint find words to answer him. So he kept quiet and after few hours told her he would go home.

"Don't worry about me. I will take care of my self."

As he was leaving Lilly stopped him and said pointing at Dan and Rose "Harry we may not be able to come to manor for their birthday. Dumbledore wanted to start training them as soon as they recover. It may take two to three months for them to get back to normal. So you will need to stay alone."

He shrugged it off and said "I was living alone since I was four. No big deal. Bye" and he left the wing quickly before his words could register in her mind. He flooed to Potter Manor put monitoring charms to alert him if anyone came home and packed and shifted to Flamel's. As soon as he entered the living room he was hugged by Perene and was tackled to ground by two identical black bullets. He saw and was surprised to see it was Padma and Parvati. As he stood and hugged them back he saw Praveen and shook gave him a bear hug. He saw Parmesh and Lakshmi Patil and bent down and touched their feet as it was customary in India to touch feet of elders to show respect and love for them. He was hugged by Lakshmi and shook Parmesh Patil's hand. It was over dinner they broke news to Harry that they completed the training in league and relocated to England.

Harry was informed that they were soon to leave for Japan to start his training in Wind elemental.

Harry agreed and Nick explained that Patil's were coming along as Padma was a wind and fire elemental and dormant earth elemental while Parvati was water and earth elemental and dormant fire elemental. Praveen was like Harry. He had all elementals but was a lower commander. When Harry asked what it meant Perene answered

"You are an ancient Harry and have ability to command higher elements. Higher elements or commonly known as elemental spirits can manipulate the elements themselves. You will need to master soul magic to reach the stage where you can command all higher elementals. If my information on your mark is correct which I know it is you can even command the fifth element Ether."

Harry was left dumb struck at this revelation. He now truly understood the significance of being an ancient.

After a few days Harry and others left for Japan. Soon Harry, Padma and Praveen started on their wind elemental training. Harry's natural element being wind was an added advantage for him and he soon started working on his soul magic with Morgan. He sat in runic circle guarded by bones of various magical animals and started to fight for control over the tormented spirits he summoned from underworld. If he could subdue the spirits they would be bid for him for the life time as it would end their torment. But even with all his magic it was a slow process. It normally took fifteen to twenty tears for a person to subdue the two spirits. Morgan calculated it would take seven years for Harry to control the six spirits he summoned. Harry dint understand why there were six spirits. He could master all five elements so there must be five. But there were six and even Morgan had no explanation for it. So he left it there.

It was on one of these days when Harry was in forest and practicing his soul magic something grave happened. The fact the forest he was practicing had no dangerous creatures except nymphs whose allure Harry easily avoided due to his natural occlumency though it was stronger than Veela made it safe for him to practice.

He had finished his practice and was almost exhausted. He was returning to temple to rest for the day when he heard a scream… His abilities warned him of a very powerful and large creature and a powerful nymph near by.

Harry at once deduced that the nymph was threatened and went to help though he knew he was exhausted. What he found made his legs go weak. There was a fully grown Nundu attacking the nymph who was barely escaping using her allure at full power. Harry immediately transformed into "Ragefang". Though he wasn't as large as a adult dragon he was larger than Nundu and attacked.

Nundu on sensing the dragon immediately jumped on its back and started clawing. The fact that Ragefang had very hard scale which Nundu can't penetrate was Harry's only advantage. He knew if he dint kill or subdue the beast its breath alone will kill whole village which could never allow.

He quickly took to air and flying at high speeds reached volcanic mountains where he had advantage. He was diving into the volcano when the Nundu sensed what was about to happen and jumped from his back. He quickly went for the beast's neck but the beast jumped out of way and clawed him on hind led. Harry dint care and bet the beast with his tail. Harry thought of transforming back where he will have advantage by erecting Golems but knew his human form won't be able to bear the volcanoes heat and so he breathed powerful fumes at the beast.

After few minutes of continues battle Harry was getting exhausted and tiring as he didn't battle for so long in his animagus forms with such vicious beasts.

'I will need to include fighting in animal forms with huge beasts in training if I get out alive' he thought as the beast sprung with remaining energy towards him for one last time.

He took flight to avoid the beast but its teeth sunk into his hind leg which was previously injured. He immediately flew over volcano and flung the beast inside throwing flames from above killing it.

He slowly flew down to base of mountain and transformed back and knew he had only few minutes before his magic can no more fight the venom. He knew if at full power he could stay alive for days but he almost exhausted himself controlling the spirits and fighting the beast was no easy task. He wanted to see his mother, Perene for one last time and he wanted her to hold him as he passed away. He knew even his phoenix form wont help him as only tears of a Royal phoenix could heal Nundu venom. He closed his eyes and passed out…..
