After the attempt at an interview, the Pandorans went back to their normal routines. Axton, Salvador, and Zero talked about their battles with Flitwick. Maya learned about the nature of Earth from Hagrid and Professor Sprout. Gaige learned more about runes from Professor Babbling. Tina learned about transfiguration from Professor McGonnagal. And Krieg talked more with his family.

The day after, a teen that practically screamed arrogance decided to prove his superiority to Krieg. The psycho was stopped by the teen in front of the opened doors to the Great Hall. "Hello, Potter." He called out.

Krieg just turned to face the boy.

"So, it seems that you're making waves in Hogwarts and will soon be making more in the rest of the wizarding world."

Krieg just stares at him.

Despite Krieg's silence, the teen continued. "You shouldn't waste time with the wrong sort of people. I can help you there." And the teen held out his hand for Krieg to shake.

Krieg just walks away into the Great Hall.

"Hey!" The teen said, following.

Krieg continued to ignore him.

"Hey! Stop you brain-dead simpleton!"

Everyone was looking at the situation while Krieg still said nothing.

"I am Draco Malfoy, pureblood heir to the Noble House of Malfoy, and you will stop! Stop and face me, you MUDBLOOD!"

Everyone gasped for two reasons. The word that the teen used and the speed with which Krieg turned to glare at the foolish teen.

"Go. Away." Krieg said quietly but angrily.

Draco was now terrified and frozen in fear. But he would react when he heard "DRACO MALFOY! YOU ARE SUSPENDED!"

Everyone looked towards Professor McGonnagal, who was trembling with rage.

"My father will hear about this!" Draco yelled and left.

McGonnagal came down from the head table and said to Krieg "Don't worry, I can assure you that Draco Malfoy will be punished."

"No." Was his response.

"I'm sorry?" McGonnagal asked.

"Don't bother. That brat is not to be punished. Inform the dad though. I need to speak to him anyway."

"About what, may I ask?" Said the headmaster.

"You'll see." Was all Krieg said.


By dinner, a man walked in with a snake head cane, elegant robes, his nose held high, and an unpleasant look on his face. He walked up to the head table and looked towards the headmaster with a sneer.

"Headmaster, why has my son told me that he has been suspended from school?!" The man demanded.

Krieg took that as his que. "Because your son displayed behavior unfitting of his house."

The man turned to face the speaker and was surprised by the sight of the shirtless masked psycho. But he quickly recovered and asked "Who are you?"

"Krieg, though I was formerly known as Harry Potter."

More shock, then another recovery from the man. "Lucius Malfoy. May I ask what you meant by your previous comment?"

"Your son referred to me by a horribly offensive slur based on a misconception of my blood status on his part. He caused a disturbance in front of everyone here in this very hall as he did so by yelling it at me in front of everyone. I was simply trying to get to lunch this afternoon when he rudely approached me with the intention of telling me who I should and should not associate with. I made it obvious that I was uninterested but he aggressively insisted. Very unbecoming of someone of a Noble House such as your own."

Lucius was silent and showed no emotion as he slowly turned his head to see his son looking at them with his jaw dropped at the Slytherin Table.

Krieg continued when Lucius turned back to him. "I told Professor McGonnagal that I have no intention of seeking retribution for his slight against me. I believe his guilt will be punishment enough."

Lucius looked upset for some reason at this but said "Thank you for your forgiveness. I shall speak with Draco immediately. Enjoy your evening."

"And you as well." Krieg finished.

Lucius then went to the Slytherin table, whispered in Draco's ear, and they both left the Great Hall. Krieg went back to the Gryffindor table and sat with his friends.

"Uh… what just happened?" Salvador asked in the silence of the hall.

"Krieg just proved that he can use his words as well as he can a buzzaxe." Maya said.

Rose spoke up to explain. "The Malfoy's pride themselves as the highest of high society. Krieg basically just made it clear that Draco isn't getting suspended only because Krieg showed mercy to him."

"Yup." Was all Krieg said.

"But how exactly did you manage to make it happen?" Gaige enquired.

"Simple. The brat figured that he can get anything he wants and that all he has to do is ask. He's self entitled and he had to get that from somewhere. So I decided to let him get himself in trouble. When he did, I declared that he would whine to daddy. So I decided to take this a bit farther. His father shows up and I let father, son, and everyone else know that what that kid did has brought shame to himself and his family."

"That was awesome, Krieg! Can you do it again?" Said Tina.

"If I get the chance, I'll make sure you get a front row seat."

"Yes!" Then Tina's echo rang. "Hold on. Yo, it's Tina. Who dis?"

"IT'S ME, MR. TORGUE! TINA, I'VE GOT A BADASS PROTOTYPE WEAPON FOR YOU!" A loud voice said from the device.

"Sweeeet! What you got Torgue?!" Tina asked excitedly.

"I GOT AN ASSAULT RIFLE THAT SHOOTS A LASER AND EXPLOSIONS AT THE SAME TIME! IT'S AN IMPOSSIBLE IDEA THAT IS IMPOSSIBLY AWESOME!" Torgue said.

"Ohmygod, ohmygod, ohmygod! SEND IT OVER!"

"OKAY!"

And an Assault Rifle appeared in Tina's arms. It looked a little different from most Torgue weapons. Mainly because of the color. It was black with red accents and a vertical grip.

"It's… it's beautiful." Tina said, tearing up.

"Agreed. What's her name?" Salvador said, openly crying.

"THE LASER-SPLODER!" Torgue said.

More crying from Salvador.

"Thank you Torgue! I love it!"

"NO PROBLEM! MAKE SURE TO USE IT ALOT!"

"We will." Salvador promised.

Tina hung up and everyone went back to dinner, having gotten somewhat used to these moments.


A week later, Krieg had heard enough of Severus Snape and his bullshit. He had overheard a first year student crying in a hallway because of Snape yesterday. Literally crying. That was it. This guy needed a stern lesson in humility. So Krieg waited for everyone to get to breakfast, and once the Great Hall was full, he got up out of his seat without a word and walked up to the head table.

"So, how long have you been a hypocrite?" Krieg asked Snape loudly.

"Excuse me?" Snape replied dangerously.

Krieg was unperturbed however. "You do know that you make little kids cry with your verbal abuse, right? Literally. They literally cry."

"I cannot help it if the dunderheads get irrationally emotional because they are too foolish in class." Snape explained.

"And that's the problem right there. You don't even realize what you're doing. By calling children that, you are practically saying they are worthless, and if they think that they're worthless, they will be worthless when they grow up. Children should be nurtured, protected, and loved. But all you do is put them down. You want them to learn? Then do your job and properly teach them." Krieg explained.

"They are unintelligent and mess up with the simplest of tasks." Snape said.

"But you never taught them the basics. How can they be expected to do the advanced stuff if you don't teach them the basic stuff?" Krieg explained calmly.

By now the entire Great Hall was watching silently. But Krieg continued.

"I know you were abused."

Snape's eyes widened considerably, as did everyone else's. "What makes you think that?" Snape asked dangerously.

"Because I was abused too. These scars aren't just from being an adult. Some of them are from being a kid in a very bad place." Krieg said almost too calmly.

Everyone saw both adults in a somewhat new light. "Do you know what the difference between us is though?"

Snape silently shook his head.

"I got over it. You think you're the only abused little boy in the world, you're not. You're just the guy who decided to let it dominate his life so much that he himself became an abuser of children." Krieg said simply.

"I don't-"

"You do. I walked past an eleven year old crying openly in the hallway yesterday because you made them feel like a failure. That is verbal abuse. You have no excuse for your behavior. Do your job and do it right, or I will see to it your head is placed on my trophy pike." Krieg finished.

Krieg walked out of the Great Hall, more than aware of the many eyes staring at him.

Severus wasn't sure what to think. He wanted to be mad, to be angry. But Krieg's words still rang in his head. Was he really abusing children? Potions was a dangerous profession. Especially when learning. He needed to stress the importance of safety in the lab.

'But you didn't. You just put instructions on a chalkboard.' Said a little voice in his head.

So what if the dunderheads were sad, he couldn't help it if they didn't understand basic instructions.

'But if you were nicer to them, they might just listen to you more.'

He was taught potions by example.

'But you're not giving a good example. You're just berating students. You are Tobias Snape. You are an abuser.'

Severus didn't really have anything to say in response.


Okay so I know this was shorter, but I wanted to get these ideas written down and used. Also the Laser-Sploder was something I just wanted to include at some point.
