That night Harry pulled out all his previous school books and reviewed all of the materials involved. He knew that thanks to Merlin he was more advanced than others, but that was also in the arts that have been lost to history or were banned by the Ministry. Harry knew he had to be careful not to show to much knowledge. Merlin had warned him that Guienivere's heir would want to know the knowledge that was classed as family secrets. Harry knew all of this when he had explained to Uther about his family history.
Flashback
Harry stood before Uther for his first lesson in the ways of court. Arthur stood offto the side waiting for his father to deem his experience needed.
"I would like you to exlain what you know of your families history. We will get to the workings of court shortly, but I wish to know." Harry simply nodded and stood there and explained what he knew.
"What i know is what others hve told me. My father, James Potter, is the son of a man named Fleamont Potter. Fleamont was the son of Charlus Potter. From what many have told me Charlus was an elder in the wizarding world and was named for an ancestor of his three generations back. From what i understand Charlus the first was adopted into the family, by the Lord Potter of the time as his second son. It would be a few years before this second son would marry, but he would take his wife's name, Gryffindor. Their only son would become well known in the future for having started a school with, at that time, the Lord of house Slytherin and the Ladies of houses Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw. Gryffindor would have one child with Ravenclaw, while Slytherin had one lchild with Hufflepuff. These two child where hidden away for there protection. Gryffindor with Ravenclaws permission would crate a marriage contract with house Potter, bring the bloodlines together for the first time in blood. The child grew up with the Potters, it was from this union that Charlus was born. Charlus married a woman from the house of Black and have Fleamont. The houses of Slytherin and Hufflepuff wouldn't join the bloodlines until my father married my mother. This is what I know." Harry stood before the king who looked over to Arthur concerned. He knew that Morgana was pregnant with their second son, who they planned to name Charlus.
"I understand what it means father. Morgana and I will fall to Guinevere, and our youngest will be entrusted to Lord Potter. I will discuss this will Morgana later and we will make a plan." Uther than turned to Harry and nodded, Harry sighed in relief. Uther than began the long process of teaching Harry about the history of the Pendragon line.
End Flashback
Looking at his history book he threw it away knowing that it was most likely full of lies, as all other history books before were. Opening his transfiguration book he studied through it for about an hour, using a few quick spells and the mind arts that he now knew to get through the book quickly. He then did this with charms and potions. He also did this with Defense, and realized that the standard version that was ministry approved was slower and dumbed down from the lessons he was taught by Merlin and Lords Potter and Gryffindor. Shaking his head he then laid down and went to sleep.
The next morning when he woke at dawn he changed into a pair of sweat pants, and frowned thinking about his muggle relatives and how to get out of that house, knowing that Dumbledore controlled how they treated him. He knew that he would have to return at the start if summer, even if it ws only to determine if Dumbledore had cast any spells at them. Once changed he headed out to the black lake and began the task of running around the lake. He made two laps before he noticed someone watching him from a rock outcropping just short of the school, jogging over he was met with the blonde locks of one Daphne Greengrass.
"Heiress Greengrass, to what do I owe the pleasure of your interest?" Harry said while jogging in place so his muscles didn't cramp up on him.
"I was curious when someone passed by the common room window twice and decided to come and investigate only to find you running around the lake." Daphne said with a sneer. "I am curious, Potter. Why are you running?"
"Simple trainning routine. Something I picked up from an old friend, he said it would help my speed and spell casting." Daphne raised an eyebrow at him and motioned at him. "I usually run as much as I just did. The jogging in place was to prevent my muscles from cramping. Now that my muscles have cooled enough to not cramp I can stop jogging in place. Was about to head into a clearing I know of and work on some other training. If you wish to watch you may follow."
Harrry bowed slightly, turned and walked away. Daphne turned towards the castle for a moment and caught Draco standing in the entry way. He simply nodded and the followed after Potter. Daphne nodded back than did the same. It didn't take long before they both caught up with Harry.
"Morning Heir Malfoy."
"Morning Lord Potter. What is your training routine?"
"I run two laps around the lake, then work on my archery and short sword skills. From there I will work on my spell casting, though that I won't do in the forest. Will have to find a place in the castle to practice that." Draco nodded and thought for a minute.
"If you agree not to share the information with anyone I will show you the dungeon training room. It is designed with dangerous spells in mind. I believe it was built by Slytherin to actually be the old Dark Arts classroom."
"I will agree to not share its location with anyone. Though that room being designed by Slytherin would be wrong. It was Ravenclaw who designed the room and it was Gryffindor who used it. Slytherin prefered that third floor potions lab."
"What there is a potions lab on the third floor?" Daphne asked suprised, Harry simply nodded while pulling his bow.
"Remember first year amd the forbidden corridor?" Daphne and Draco nodded. "It's down that corridor. Fourth door on the right. Was in there once or twice last year to work on potions."
Harry than shot twenty arrows at an old and rotting tree stump. Walking over he nodded seeing that all of his shots were within formation and that he didnt miss a single shot. Collecting all the arrows he then took up his swords and then began to work on his swing and foot work, he practiced as if he was facing a real opponent. Daphne and Draco just stood slack jawed with how face he was moving. One complete Harry turned to the duo and chuckled. Draco looked slightly jealous, but Daphne had a slight blush on her face.
"When you collect yourselves I would be glad to know the location of the dueling room." Draco shooking his head and nodded. Daphne turned quickly and began walking away. Draco motioned Harry to follow, following along Harry was then lead down into the dungeons and to the dueling room. Harry was surprised to find a group of sixth year Slytherin students waiting for him. Daphne glared at Draco who looked suspiciously at the group. "Morning gentlemen. I am assuming you are here to train?"
"Not quite Potter. We are here to prevent you from using our training room," Harry laughed.
"By the blood of Ravenclaw remove anyone wishing me harm from my school." With a quick flash three of the group vanished, this included the one who spoke. "Wish to try again?"
"Those three told us if we didn't join them then we would be banned from the training room." Harry simply nodded and then walked around the group. Taking out his wand he began to slowly cast all the first, second and third year spells. Frowning Harry lookeddown at his wand and noticed it charred at the end.
"Well thats not good. Im not even using full power and nowhere my full speed."
"Problems, Potter?" Sneered the voice of Professor Snape.
"Yes, Professor. My wand seems to not be strong enough for my magic anymore." Harry politely spoke while handing his charred wand to the Professor. Snape took the wand and also frowned. It would seem that you need a new wand. I do not know anyone who could make a wand powerful enough for you."
"I know of a wand that might be strong enough, but i would have to go to Gringotts for it." Snape nodded and motioned Harry to follow. Following the professor Harry was led to the potions office.
"Youmay use my floo to get there. Password to return is Lily. Before you go I wish to know how three of my Slytherins ended up at the gates."
"Of course. I am a descendent of Ravenclaw and can remove people who wish me harm from the school. Those three wished to attack me when i entered the dueling room to prevent me from using it." Snape simply nodded and waved at his fireplace. Noding Harry took some floo powder and flooed to the banks private floo room.
