"KNOCK""KNOCK" the sound of knuckles reaping against a black door echoed throughout a sizable room of white and green.
"Fre…Ha…Harry, we are leaving for the zoo. Don't do anything freakish. Just…stay in your room." The baritone voice of Vernon rang through the room.
Eyes of a dull electric emerald opened slowly, almost lazily, and drifted towards the door. "Yes uncle," came the quick emotionless, yet sharp, reply of Harry Potter. Is eyes from the door Harry viewed the room he had come to call home, his solitude, and remembered passively how he gained his peace.
Seven hours after the attack on Harry Potter, the Dursley Family sat at the kitchen table enjoying the peace of a near dead freak lying within the broom cupboard. Suddenly a dense oppressive force rained down upon the family bring them to their hands and knees.. Unadulterated fear spread through the sniveling dogs as heavy black rain fell within the house, however not making a single object wet. True despair coursed through them as they screamed in fright as the door exploded into indiscernible fragments of wood and paint. For within the doorframe stood Harry Potter proud and uninjured, his mangled and broken body healed. His eyes held a fiery rage, no longer where his eyes human. The sclera no longer white but a dead forest green, his irises turned from a warm emerald to an electric jade, and his pupils no longer round but instead thin vertical slits. His face shows no emotion as he stares keenly at the jackals sniveling on the kitchen floor.
"Do you feel it? The overwhelming sense of despair, at the fact you could die right here and now. Does it scare you?" these words cut across the Dursleys sharply. Harry's voice also had changed. No longer was it that of an abused, week, frightened seven year old but that of an experienced, cold, veteran of war, far older than that of any in the room.
Vernon against all common sense looked up defiantly, "You….you don't sca..scare me…fr..freak." Cold rage filled eyes turned to him. Vernon without warning slammed into the ground.
"Silence," Harry walked towards Vernon and kicked him across the room into a wall. "I did not say you could speak, Trash."
"Wha…What d…do you wan..want?" the voice came from that of Petunia. Harry turned his eyes towards her and narrowed his vision to her. At this petunia shivered in fear.
Replying without a second thought, "I am going to let you live, as Trash such as yourselves are not worthy enough for my attention. I want you to leave me Dudley's first bedroom and leave me to myself without unnecessary interruption…If not," Harry made the heavy black rain far more dense and overwhelming causing the Dursleys to whimper in fear, pain and despair, "I will not be so merciful next time." Just as quickly as the rain appeared it dissipated, without a trace. Allowing the whining dogs a his feet to crawl away and lick their wounds.
"Do you understand?" Harry asked rhetorically. However he heard the whimpering and broken replies of, "Yes Harry."
With that Harry dismissed them, "Get out of my sight, Trash. The smell of your son's defecations is putrid and foul. Leave, now." He did not stand long enough to see the Dursleys cower in fear as they left the house altogether for the night.
'Now that this situation is handled I will deal with the accommodations.' Beginning a steady trek to Dudley's first bedroom, which just so happens to be that master room, he finds himself inside a room that makes a hurricane wreckage path look pristine in condition., 'No this will never do. This room is not fit for even the lowest of hollow.' Harry waves his hand lazily over the room which is then engulfed by green and black flames. Dying out the flames extinguish leaving, not ash in the wind, an immaculate Spartan like room with a desk, dresser, and simple bed. The wall are colored in snow and forest, no longer are they puce.
'Perfect. Well it is time for me to relinquish control.' Harry's eyes returned to their natural state, a dull electric emerald, before he passed out on top of the bed.
"TAP…TAP" "TAP…TAP" Harry turned his head to the window and looked upon a small brown colored barn owl pecking at his windowsill. Sitting up he unlatches the window and opens it, hoping to frighten the owl away. However the owl hopped into the air and flew over to his desk before promptly landing on said object. When the bird landed he held out his talon presenting a letter to Harry.
'Um…what should I do….it would seem to be a letter for me. Ulquiorra, do you think I should take the letter?' Harry pondered his options while waiting for Ulquiorra to speak.
"I think you should take the letter. Did you notice the overly specific mailing address?" Ulquiorra pointed out.
Harry looked at the owl and made his way over to his desk to untie the poor bird's burdened leg. After removing the parchment Harry first noticed the Address:
Harry Potter
Number 4, Privet Drive
The Largest Beedrom
Then Harry looked at the backside and saw an intricate wax seal of a lion, snake, raven, and badger all posing behind an H. 'Interesting.' Harry thought to himself.
"Well are you going to open it? I for one am rather curious." Ulquiorra asked in his unemotional and stoic way.
'Yes, yes.' Harry split open the wax seal and unfolded the fresh parchment. His eyes widening is the only emotional response shown upon the icy demeanor of his face, for the words truly interested and shocked him:

'Well, that is rather unexpected.' Harry thought to himself as he returned his cold façade to normal. 'Although, I should hardly be surprised with all you have told me about the Quincy, and their manipulation of reishi.'
Ulquiorra thought for a moment before responding, "Understandable, as I do not believe that the Soul Society knows of this sect of reishi manipulators. I do however believe you should go and attend this Hogwarts. It could prove beneficial and it would allow you to travel more freely away from here."
'So should I respond by sending an acceptance letter?' Harry quizzically asked.
"I would assume as much, send it back with the owl." Ulquiorra responded sharply.
Harry began the writing of a quick acceptance:
To Minerva McGonagall,
I harry potter readily accept this invitation to join Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
Harry Potter
'Hang on, one problem. How do I get to a place where they would sell all that I need?' Harry thought worriedly. However he calmed his mind and thought. 'Wait; if there is a community of reiatsu users I could be able to find them rather easy. If they are large enough that is.'
"Very good, now use Pesquisa to sense the surrounding areas for a high concentration of reiryoku." This was Ulquiorra's response to Harry's reasoning. "Remember, dull all senses, stretch out with your reiatsu and find the most potent source of reiryoku. That will most likely be what you are looking for."
'Thanks'. Harry climbs onto his bed and sits in the lotus meditation position, shuts his eyes, and reaches out. Slowly he finds a source of concentrated reiryoku and his eyes snap open. 'It's in London.'
"Good now that we have the location, we can travel there. But first, we need to send off the letter." Ulquiorra spoke adamantly.
'Right, I forgot about the bird.' Harry folds up his letter of resonance and writes upon it:
Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry
He ties the letter onto the happily offered talon of the Barn Owl before watching as it flies off into the sky. Quickly descending the stairs Harry reaches the front door, he opens and steps onto the porch. Ulquiorra starts to speak. "Now let us make the trip to London, now might be a good time to test your progress with Sonido." Hearing this caused Harry's eyes to set in a look of fierce determination. "Make it to the Source of the reiryoku output within four steps and you will have passed." Ulquiorra set his mark.
"I will do it in two." Harry spoke just loudly enough to hear himself, accepting the test ne challenge. His determination showed bright within his swirling emerald eyes.
"BOOM"
