Chapter 5-Classes of 1st year

With the confrontation with Snape on Saturday, Harry had a reasonably quiet day on the Sunday, asides with a few run ins' with Argus Filch who was muttering, "Stupid devil spawn," under his breathe and murmured, "Just like his father that one," though all he did was: his Lin Kuei training, Read in the Library and waking up early, still the squib is on his back about being a trouble make and was watching him like a hawk with a pet cat, that had been kicked in the face to many times.

Now on Monday, Harry woke up at 5:00am is to the new day and a the start of classes, so after a shower and getting into the standard school robes, Harry headed into the common room, to see Hermione and the fifth to seventh years, once the Gryffindors came down to the Great Hall and waited for breakfast to be served and they we're greet with the sight of the all the Ravenclaws and Hufflepuffs, as well as the more eager and less lazy Slytherins.

Then the golden serving plates began filling with: Sausages, Bacon, Rissoles, Eggs, Pancakes, Waffles and fruit salads, once Harry and Hermione had ended their first helping and was on to their second, the less lazy Gryffindors shown up: Seamus Finnegan, Neville and Dean Thomas, along with the girls: Lavender Brown, Pavarti Pati and Padma Pati, and once the rest of Gryffindor showed up and began to have their breakfast: Ron showed up (sleepily), face planted his food once he'd sat down and the rest of the Hall started laughing.

An hour and a half, Rons face was picked up and Professor Sinistra handed of school timetables. Meanwhile Mr. Dumbledore had finally gotten into the Alley and withdrew the money for the crystallize magical core, before he had purchased a core from the late Leonides Darkcry, and left to see the to the fusion ritual, then back at Hogwarts, Harry and Hermione looked at their schedules and found their first lesson: Charms was their first class.

So in the Charms class, Professor Flitwick had his class read the appointed text on: the Levitation Charms, Lighting Charms (Lumos) and Confetti Charms, before the end of class and while only a few had done so (Harry, Hermione and Neville), when everyone else had not and got the finishing of the chapters for homework (the first year Slytherins [Malfoy especially] and the lazier Gryffindors), then head for their next class: Transfigurations, where Lord Raiden (not how he wanted to be addressed), talked about the advantages of how the subject in day to day lives, and then proved that by changing his robes into a crisp muggle suit, with a wave of his staff.

With lunch break following transfigurations, Harry, Neville and Hermione politely ate their food of: Steak, salad (garden and fruit), vegetables and a school treat of muggle soda drinks; Coca Cola, Sprite, Fanta and Pepsi, while Ron just served himself 5 pieces of steak, before he began to shovel them down his throat, to the disgust of the rest of the students, the embarrassment of his siblings and the disappointment of the teachers. While at lunch, Harry picked up a conversation with the rest of the Gryffindors and then the staff headed for their half-day meeting, Headmistress McGonagall had started to implement.

Now in the staffroom, Minerva started, "Okay how were the first years?" and she answered from the whole saying that it was good, but a quarter of the Gryffindors were lazy and with the exception Snape said that the Slytherins were the most laziness, while Snape maintained that his Slytherins are the most studious of the school and said that the Gryffindor had no respect for their superiors (no not superiors, just superior himself), so he was chastised for his bias comment and Argus was reprimanded for just painting Harry in a bad light, before Minerva moved it on and explained, "And for those whom had not know, Dumbledore has been forced out of the school, for angering the Elder Gods," and there were hours of gasping and word like, 'Was he mad, to go against them?' and, 'How could he be so stupid.'

Back with Harry and his friends, and they've just finish lunch, before they headed for their free period – while the teachers were in their meeting, which Harry, Hermione and Neville were spending it in the library: with Harry reading more on animagus transformation, with his other friends reading topics they hadn't read before. After their free period Harry, Hermione and Neville, were joined by a groggy Ron, Dean and Seamus (they had used the 2 hour free to catch up on the missed sleep) outside of the Defense against the Dark arts classroom at 3pm for class, but the class was disappointed in the class, as it was not up to the right snuff for what it was all about and the problems were: weak text, stuttering teacher, all around boredom and worst was the sense of pure darkness in the stuttering teacher, by the last was sensed by Harry, where he thought, 'So Dumbledork's plan had work!' then once the 2 hour period was up, Harry stayed behind a few minutes, so when Quirrel notice Harry he stammered, "Mr. Potter, why aren't with your friends?" out, though now Harry knew that he was faking he said, "Can it Quirrel, or should I say Voldemort?" as the words left his lips, Harry sent a light breeze at Quirrel's turban, blowing it off and then the teachers head rotated, to let Harry see: Reptilian face with red glowing eyes, nostril slit and crocodile grin, "Give up your search, the philosophers stone in the out of bounds area is fake," Harry had ordered, at the bewildered look Harry continues, "How could you believe that Nicolas would trust something that important, with anyone but himself and his wife?" when the look of dark comprehension appeared on Voldemorts facial features he said, "Yes! Now that you've mention it Dumbledore has done some untrustworthy things in the past," Harry was about to continue on but was interrupted by a darker voice, "You shouldn't have done that Harry, you're ruining my plans," causing both Harry and Voldemort to seek out the voice and found it was: Albus Dumbledore whom then raised his wand to cast, 'Oblivate,' but it was foiled by Voldemort whom surprisingly shouted, "Expelliarmus," casting the disarming charm, then after a few minutes forethought Voldemort said, "Well Potter, since it was a waste of time for me to be here, I shall let you live and take you on, when I've got a true body," before promptly touch Harrys scar, bare handed and Quirrel's body crumpled to dust.

Once Quirrel's body was dead, Harry incarcerated Dumbledore in a thousand pounds of green icy ropes and then checked the safety of Ron, Hermione and Neville. Outside of the of the class, Harry saw his friends: Hermione was propped up against a wall, Ron was dangling by his ankles off the ceiling and Neville was in a slight pool of a red substance, "My friends, had better be alive Dumbledoorframe or I'll ensure your in the foulest pits of Outworld," Harry thundered back at the classroom, as he check his friends vital signs and found they all had a pulse, though Neville had smelt of Red Wine.

After wandlessly used cleaning and perfume spells to clean up the wine, Harry created a portal to: the Hospital wing and an Outworld prison pit, tossed Dumbles into the portal to the pits and levitated his friends threw the portal, to the hospital wing and left them in the matrons care, while back with Dumbledork the prison guard surveyed, how his new prisoner arrived and remarked, "Well Albus, who'd you piss off or why'd you piss them off?" in a familiar tone from his youth, because standing before Dumbledore was: Gellert Grindelwald, "You know perfectly well whom I've pissed off! Gellert," snapped the ancient man, "So Harry, Raiden and the Elder Gods! Then," Gellert answered himself.

While Dumbles was thinking of how to use his situation as an advantage, Harry was given bedside watch 'til, his friends parents arrived and was only sent out of the wing for classes, so while heading to the D.A.D.A. and learn from the best Professor to hit Hogwarts since Slughorn: Remus John Lupin, Harry ran into the Weasleys, Grangers and Madam Longbottom, talked to them about what happen and then continued on to his class.

As the days went by: Hermione, Neville and Ron were given a clean bill of health and released from the hospital; Hermione however literally flew herself to the library and began the stockpiled homework she'd accumulated, with Neville joining her and Ron calling her mental and challenged Harry, to a game of chess. Then after 5 days, with Harrys help Hermione and Neville had finished the work, while Ron still hadn't started yet (saying that he was still in recovery from his ordeal) and then got points off for not completing the assigned work. Then by just before the Christmas break, Ron with a lot of prompting from his older sibling Percy and a howler from his mother, he'd made a start, though Harry and Hermione were with him for the help he needed. Then so by the time Christmas break started, Ron had gotten threw half of his work and was ready for the Christmas holidays, which they were spending a the Lin Kuei temple, while Ginny, Molly and Arthur went to Romania to visit their brother Charlie.

With riding home from Hogsmeade station, Harry, Neville, Hermione and the Weasleys were undisturbed by those whom were heading home (Draco was staying at the castle [orders of his father]), after arriving at the station the Gryffindor four (currently), as well as the twins and Percy were greeted the twins favourite person: Sirius Black A.K.A. Padfoot, whom was looking like Jaxon Briggs (He had magically enhanced muscle enhancers on) and Steven Zhang in Lin Kuei civies. Then after creating a portal, Harry and the others said goodbye to Hermione and Neville, before passing threw the portal to the temple home of Harry Potter.

Appearing from a portal, Harry and the others began to drop out of the sky; only Harry, the twins; Percy and Steven were able to land correctly, while Ron and Padfoot landed on each other, with a loud thump. Then after getting resettled into their rooms, Jade Zhang, Sindel, Kitana Kang, Melena Striker and Sonya Briggs, showed up to greet Harry in a tight hug (Molly Weasley tight [especially for Sindel]) and the hugs left Harry with slightly bruised rips, then after two hours Raiden and Remus showed up with Goldfang (Whom plays with Fang while at school and Remus had classes to teach) after finishing their duties for the school, and several hours after that the remaining men showed up and the welcome home party began.

Now the next day, Harry was in the process of arranging his friends/family: Kira Kang, Piper Striker, Joanne and James Briggs, from outside of school (currently), along with: Ron, Percy, the Twins, Molly, Arthur, Ginny, Hermione, Neville and the entire Gryffindor Quidditch team, as he was also on the team. As the hours hit 12 hours, Harry had gotten his friends all of his: homemade jewellery, rare books, and Quidditch paraphernalia (James had become a Quidditch freak [but at the scale of Oliver Wood and not Ron]) and muggle writing equipment. Then as the rest of the day went on, Harry and the more studious of people (Yes the Twins are included [so they can make their prank items]), made a start on their homework, while Ron challenged Raiden, Remus and Steven to a chess match.

(A/N the adults of Mortal Kombat and Harry Potter weren't mentioned as Harry had always got the defenders presents and Sirius and Remus were just 2 extras. 2nd A/N the same thing happened in J. K. Rowling's work caused Harry to be placed on the Quidditch roster)

It is now two days after the start of the school holidays and Harry was seen in his room wrapping his presents for his friends and family, Harry had always got the best of the gifts for his family and now he'll be doing the same for his friends so he made a Lin Kuei charm with a built in freeze ward for Ginny, copies of Books on the History of the Lin Kuei for Percy and Hermione, and Quidditch books, jerseys and game set (Balls and bats [no pun intended]) for the Twins, Ron and James, Arthur: books on the time line of Muggle inventions, Molly: international cook books (translated to English) and the remaining girls: the standard girls stuff (perfume (home brewed [Harry is skilled in Potioneering, Chemistry, Perfume making {felt it was a skill he could use} and cooking]), home made jewellery and nice clothes.). Then as Harry finished he placed the items under the Christmas tree/sent them to their intended destinations.

(Before I forget, Neville is getting books on How to make the perfect Potion and other books on Herbology.)

Then on the morning of Christmas day; Ron, James and Sirius woke up Harry with a prank, only for all of them to get a rush of brain freeze, as Harry groggily froze their heads in pale green ice, with a casual wave of his hand and promptly returned to sleep. Then 2 hours later at 10:00 pm, Harry re-awoke to the smells of: Jade preparing the breakfast buffet and then headed for the shower. Meanwhile in the Outworld prison, Dumbledore had met Quan Chi whom was a man after his own heart, and then together they began to formulate a plan of revenge, while preparing their exodus.

After the shower Harry, headed down to the dining room, where all his friends and family were waiting, with Ron, James and Sirius heads still frozen (though it just looked as though they were blue in the face, rather than having ice blocks surrounding them.) while in Romania, Molly, Arthur, Bill (whom had been their on assignment), Charlie and Ginny woke up to a mountain of presents at their beds foot. The same thing happen with Hermione and her parents, then while opening the presents with the Weasleys in Romania, Ginny reached the small gift from Harry, unwrapped the paper to reveal a jewellery box and while opening the box, Ginny was greeted the sight of: a pale green diamond circular in shape with emeralds branching off the main stone, via tendrils of an arctic white metal, which gave it the appearance of a snow flake that was being suspended by a delicate frost silver metal chain, before immediately bursting into tears at the beauty of the necklace and once she sobered up, Ginny immediately asked, "Mum can you help me?" which was when said individual, snapped out of shock and fasten the necklace around her daughters neck, with no protest on how much it had cost (knowing it was hand made.) While in the Granger residence: Hermione and her parents were found opening their presents in the house living room, with Hermione starting on her present from Harry, finding the first one was a large multi-compartment trunk, that she opened and what she found shocked her, as the 1st compartment were full of rare books on: Charms, Transfiguration, the True History of Magic and after browsing the second compartment found books on Potions, Alchemy and Herbology. The last compartment as Hermione came to it, had a wrapped parcel, with a note attached and after she had read the note, Hermione handed the now claim as a present to her mother, saying, "Harry thought you'd like this mum," as her mother began to unwrap it and then found an expensive bottle of perfume, labelled [Christmas Cheer, hand brewed by Harry James Potter-Zhang-Flamel-Peverell] as she tried the smell, Mrs Granger found the scent of: Christmas Pudding, Candy canes and chocolate.

As the days after Christmas fell into place, Harry and the others all started to enjoy the presents they've received. On the day before New Years Eve, Harry was seen on his modified Nimbus 2000 - he'd received from his godfather, flying over his temple home with the twins, Ron and Sirius, while they were watched and waited for their turn – by: James, Kira and Piper. Then as New Years Eve came, Harry and the gang were reunited with Hermione and Ginny, as their parents were joining the adult defenders and Sirius, so Hermione and Ginny were able to thank Harry with a proper hug, for their presents, then Hermione got introduced to the Lin Kuei library and was not heard from for ten hours, when Harry hunted her for dinner.

Then returning on the train, Harry, Ron and Hermione, met up with Neville before choosing a carriage for the trip to Hogwarts and the rest of the year went relatively quiet, until the exams started. The exams that started first were: Transfigurations Theory, History of magic and Potions theory, the next to start were: Charms theory, Astronomy Practical, Defense Theory and Potions Practical, the third exams were: Defense Practical, Charms Practical, Transfigurations Practical and Herbology Theory, while the final exam was Herbology Practical.

During the exams, Dumbledore and Quan Chi had discovered a portal; that made Quan Chi was hesitant knowing what was on the other side, but Dumbledore jumped threw without any forethought nor foresight, 'Maybe this Alliance isn't the best idea,' Chi thought, seeing his partners reckless abandon before reluctantly joining him knowing he could do more good there than to stay here. Meanwhile at the great school of Hogwarts, the examinations had been completed and to everyone happiness: the Defense Against the Dark Arts position had lost its curse, so Remus Lupin was able to keep his job, for as long as he wished to.
