Chapter 1
A Champion? He was chosen as a Champion how ridiculas that thought was to him. Harry stared into the night sky and kicked the wall in frustration. I don't care about this stupid competition. All it will bring me is more pain, more anguish and attention I don't want he thought to himself.
He closely looked at his owl and wished his life was as simple as hers. To fly away and hunt and wait for her next instructions, how easy life would be if that is all he had to worry about. Harry smiled as she looked at him "You are the only friend I have Hedwig the others have abandoned me."
Harry thought back to two days ago when he was chosen. At first he didn't believe it. He knew he didn't put his name in and he knew he should not have been chosen but he was. Shocked he stood up and walked towards the head table. It seemed the more steps he took the farther away the head table was from him.
He finally reached it and the headmaster with surprise and something else in his eyes pointed to the door the other champions had already gone through. He followed their footsteps and entered the chamber to find the other three champions standing and waiting.
"Potter what are you doing here? Are they coming to talk to us?" Cedric Diggory asked.
Harry looked at him and gave a scowl but did not answer him as he sat down in a chair far away from them and looked out the window. He crossed his arms in front of himself and awaited his fate.
The door burst open and Dumbledore, McGonagall, Madam Maxine, and Headmaster Karkarov entered the room. They were soon followed by Ludo Bagman, Bartemus Crouch from the Ministry, and finally Professor Moody clumped into the room.
Dumbledore looked around and did not locate Harry right away. He looked at the other champions and they looked towards where Harry was sitting. Dumbledore stalked over to him and picked him up by the shoulders "Did you enter yourself? Did you put your name into the cup?" he asked him.
Harry looked at him in shock and then his anger welled up and he threw his arms out to knock Albus's hands away. "Are you kidding me? Are all of you that stupid to believe or think I would ever want to be involved in this? All I want is for people to leave me alone."
McGonagall asked "So you didn't put your name in or have someone else place it in for you?"
Harry looked at her and his eyes flashed in anger "I absolutely did not! I don't want to be in this tournament. I want a quiet year, a year free of danger. Is that too much to ask?"
Dumbledore looked at him and then sighed "Never the less Harry a magical contract has been created."
Harry's fist clamped tightly as his anger rose "Bullshite! I am a bloody minor and I can't create a contract for myself. Only my guardians can do that."
McGonagall frowned before berating Harry "Language Mister Potter."
Crouch looked at Albus "The boy does have a point. He can't create a magical contract unless his guardian allows it."
The headmaster looked in thought before stating "The cup is old magic, magic that never recognized age before. Is it worth the risk because if the contract was created then he will lose his magic if he doesn't compete?"
Harry turned to Professor McGonagall before pointing to Crouch and Dumbledore "You worry about my language while everybody here worries that I will lose my magic. Am I the only one that cares about what I want or about my life?" Harry looked at all of them with disgust "Somebody put me in this thing to get me hurt and or killed. You know it and I know it!" Harry turned to leave
"If you are foolish to follow that path I am not!" Harry felt a rush of magic come at him and gave a quick side step as two spells flew past him. With a quickness that only comes from anger he twirled and sent two stunners out. They connected to the Headmaster and to Professor Moody who both had their wands out.
Professor McGonagall started to pull her wand as she looked up to see Harry's wand with its tip lit up and pointed at her. Harry stated with much ire "You think you are fast enough to pull that?"
McGonagall scowled "Mister Potter attacking people will not help the situation."
Harry sneered back "I didn't attack did I? I defended myself while my back was turned because they wanted to stun me and force me to do something I don't want to do and that is ok with the so called adults here?"
Crouch came out from behind Bagman with his wand drawn "Mr. Potter drop your wand."
Harry flicked his wand and suddenly Crouch was stunned and incarcerated on the floor. McGonagall looked between Crouch and Harry "You did wordless casting?"
Harry kept his wand up "My magic reacts funny when I am angry, it happens."
McGonagall was unsure of how to reply as she stood facing a fourth year that just took out three powerful wizards. "Mr. Potter you can't just go around stunning people."
Cedric interrupted her "Professor, Harry's right he was just defended himself and nothing more. He could have stunned you but didn't because you put your wand away. He has only cast stunners at people that had wands drawn at him. He has a right to defend himself."
Cedric scratched his head "What I don't understand is if he doesn't want to compete, why is everyone trying to make him?"
McGonagall looked at him with surprise before Cedric continued "I know enough about contracts that if he didn't put his magical signature on the paper, then there can't be a contract unless something else is going on."
Cedric looked at Harry and smiled "From what I know, Potter never asks for trouble but he has sure found enough of it in the three years he has been here. I believe he wouldn't want to join in this, especially after facing that Basilisk two years ago."
Harry raised his hands "Finally someone understands! I don't want all the attention this will bring and I just want a quiet year…is that too much to ask for?"
Karkarov looked at him "So you didn't cheat the cup?"
Fleur smirked "I zink headmaster zaht is what he has been trying to tell us."
Suddenly the Drumstag Championed moved from where Professor Moody lay on the ground "I do not think this person is right. This does not look like the Professor that walked in here." He said excitedly.
Karkarov looked with surprise "That is Bartemus Crouch Jr. He has been dead for eight years."
Cedric ran out of the room "I am calling my dad and the DMLE."
Professor McGonagall went to stop him but Harry stepped up "Don't try it Professor!"
She looked at Harry "Only the headmaster can get the DMLE involved."
Harry smirked "Not today, today I want them here and you will not interfere."
Harry suddenly heard from behind him Professor Snape's voice "Potter put your wand down."
Harry shook his head "Go ahead Professor do your worst but the night I am having I don't care." Harry cast a silent shield charm as he felt the magic build up behind him."
Everyone heard a gong sound as Snape's spell hit Harry's Glacis maxim shield and rebounded back on the professor knocking him back against the door. Harry looked at McGonagall "I bet he had a smile on his face as he threw that curse at me. That will be the last time I take any crap from that twat. I am going to start retaliating by throwing my own curses."
McGonagall frowned deeply "Mr. Potter I will remind you that will get you expelled he is a Professor after all."
Harry smiled "I will tell you what professor when he stops acting like a git and more like a professor, a real Professor towards me, then I will stop." Harry's face took a hardness to it "As of right now I have had enough from him and everybody else so either get me out of his class or get rid of him, it's your choice."
Professor McGonagall frowned deeply but she said nothing. They waited five more minutes and Cedric returned "I used the floo in the infirmary, Madam Bones and my father are on their way with some Aurors."
Harry signaled to Cedric "Do you mind grabbing all the wands from everybody that is stunned?" Cedric nodded and smiled. He went and grabbed Moody's, Dumbledore's, Crouches, and Snape's wands. When he handed them to Harry, everyone saw a bright flash as Albus's wand touched his skin.
Ludo Bagman looked at Harry "That wand just recognized you as its owner. It must have been tied to your family somehow by blood." Ludo looked at Albus "Where did he get one of your family's wands I wonder?"
Harry snorted "Since he was suppose to be my magical guardian, I wonder?" as he looked at Minerva dead in the eyes. Harry then added "I think I will have Gringotts do an inventory of my vault to see what else is missing."
Harry then leaned against the wall for a few minutes. Albus began to wake up and Harry casually stunned him again by flicking his wand. McGonagall went on a rant that Harry ignored. He suddenly told Professor McGonagall "Shut up Professor!" Then to Cedric he asked "Do you know if I would be classified as an adult if I accept a ministry sanctioned tournament for adults only?"
Cedric thought for a moment and then had a brilliant smile "I am pretty sure that if they make you participate, then you would be classified as an adult. There are a couple of instances where they have done so in the past." For the first time that night Harry smiled as a plan formed in his mind.
Harry looked at Mr. Bagman "Do you believe that is true as well?"
Ludo looked at Minerva and then answered "I believe that is so as well."
Harry raised his wand "I Harry James Potter accept to become a champion in the Triwizard tournament." The magic flashed to accept the magical contract.
"Mister Potter I don't know what you are up to but I would prefer that you wait for the headmaster before doing anything else."
Harry harrumphed "So that the Headmaster can then tell me what to do? I don't think so. If I leave it all to the adults and authorities I will end up dead."
McGonagall looked fit to be tied "Mister Potter! I hardly think the Headmaster is trying to kill you."
Harry looked at her and then smirked "Well Professor you did say one thing that I think everyone can agree with… they hardly think when the headmaster says something and they definitely don't ask enough questions. I now count myself on the path to asking a lot of questions.
Harry stood up straighter and raised his wand again "I Harry James Potter accept my responsibilities as the last Potter and as Lord Potter of the Ancient and Noble House of Potter." With that said a soft blue and green aura surrounded Harry. Harry looked down to see a ring on his finger and then felt a sudden binding in his stomach. The pain grew immensely as he fell to his knees.
The pain continued to build until Harry looked up and screamed as the magic felt like it would burn him up. There was a sudden pulse of magic that came from Harry in a big wave that threw everyone against a wall. Minerva watched with detached fascination as the binding ritual that Harry had as a child was suddenly undone. When her head cleared she looked up to find Harry's aura brighter and more visible than ever before.
Harry rolled his head and his eyes were alight with magic as he looked at everyone in the room. Everyone gasped as they saw a new Harry before them. He had grown to be six foot tall and no longer looked scrawny or under fed. He had definition to his muscles and looked healthy. "I have never felt this good in my entire life." He stated to them.
Harry features darkened "Somebody had me under a severe magical bind." The door opened and Amelia Bones and a man Harry had never met barged into the room.
Amelia looked at Minerva "What just happened in here?" she asked her.
Minerva shook her head "Evidently Lord Potter had been under a magical bind and when he accepted his lordship it broke it. The magic wave you felt was the release of the bind."
Amelia looked over at Harry "Your magic was bound? Susan told me you were one of the most powerful students in this school."
Harry smiled "I was but I am also more powerful than before. I want to know who bound my core like this?"
Minerva spoke up "I would too."
The next two hours were spent questioning the fake Professor Moody and finding out that Voldermort had a plan to kill Harry and resurrect himself. Harry paced for many minutes and thought about what this would mean for him and how he could counter it. He had to compete no matter what. Snape, Crouch, Moody, and Albus all began to wake and Harry stunned them wandlessly and wordlessly, much to Minerva and Amelia's chagrin.
Harry finally looked up at everyone "Here is what we are going to do." He started "We will return Moody so he can keep up his impersonation. All of you are going to be obliviated except Minerva, Amelia, myself, and the other contestants. You five will give me an oath to never speak of this unless I give you permission.
Amelia stood up "I hardly think that will happen."
Harry didn't even hesitate as he took her wand from her "My days of being another's pawn are over. You either do it my way or I will obliviate you."
Amelia looked at him sternly "Young man I am the head of the DMLE, I cannot have other oaths before my oath to my duty or I will lose my magic. You will have to take it on my word that I will do the right thing."
Harry looked at her "I don't trust anyone and you can understand why after what you have heard tonight."
Amelia's eyes softened "I do understand that Harry but I also know I am one of the few people in the ministry that can help you the most but only if I keep my memories intact and unencumbered." Amelia smirked "You need allies more than you know and I will not break your trust because I need you as a powerful ally."
Harry looked at her for many seconds "I can see your point madam and at some point I will have to trust someone." Harry reached over and handed her wand back."
They spent the next thirty minutes obliviating Madam Maxine, Headmaster Karkarov, and Ludo Bagman. They then staged the scene so that Crouch, Dumbledore, Moody, and Snape were in the same positions before they were stunned. Amelia and Amos Diggory then left.
Snape became aware as Minerva went to him "Professor Snape are you alright?"
CHAPTER TWO
Snape looked down and saw Potter lying on the ground. He went to Dumbledore and then Moody and enervated them. The headmaster stood up and then looked around as Moody did the same. Moody looked at Potter "Albus what in the hell are you teaching him because I don't remember that in my lessons?"
Albus looked at him and then Minerva answered "Mister Potter has always been emotional and his magic seems to be strongest when he is angry."
Albus frowned "Yes, that has always been like him. Thankfully Severus you were able to stop him before he could get away."
Snape sneered "Yes, well Potter has always thought highly of himself, now hasn't he?"
Harry began to rouse and Snape walked over and kicked him in the side "Get up Potter and take your punishment like a man."
Harry's eyes flashed in anger and his foot struck Snape right in the front of his knee. Snape's face turned white as his knee inverted backwards with a loud snap. He began to yell at the top of his lungs before Harry kneeled and elbowed him in the face to knock him out. Harry looked down at him "Coward, you hit me while I was down."
Harry stood up and brushed himself off "You keep that piece of filth away from me or I will hurt him. I am tired of being his punching bag because of his hatred of my father."
Albus looked on in shock "Harry I am afraid I will have to give you detention."
Harry scoffed and looked harshly at him "You deduct points I leave, you give me detentions I leave because I don't want to participate in this bloody tournament anyway. So if you don't like my behavior expel me."
Headmaster Dumbledore looked on in stunned silence. Before he could comment Krum spoke up "Headmaster do you allow teacher's to hit students?"
Minerva answered "No Mr. Krum we do not."
Krum shrugged his shoulders "Yet, that Professor kicked Potter in the ribs but Potter gets punished for defending himself?"
Cedric then spoke up "Don't forget he stunned Harry from behind for just holding his wand in front of himself in defense. Maybe I should call my Father and Amelia Bones."
Fleur then added "That professor had a look of joy when he cursed Potter. I can add my testimony to theirs about this."
Professor Dumbledore blanched upon hearing this "I am sure we can avoid calling in the Ministry. Perhaps I was still groggy from being stunned."
Dumbledore turned to Harry "I will not give you points or detention Mister Potter but do not attack a professor again."
Harry balled his fist "I can't make that guarantee because he is allowed to abuse me in class, along with any other student that are not Slytherin. I will no longer be abused by him or allow him to abuse others. Keep your pet under control or I will."
Albus looked at Harry with surprise "Mister Potter are you threatening harm to professor Snape?"
Harry smirked and pointed his finger at Albus "You bloody bet I am and knowing him I guarantee it. Keep him away from me and my friends or I will hurt him."
Minerva gave a sly smile "Mister Potter you know that is not possible as Professor Snape is the only potions professor we have and you are required to take potions until your fifth year."
Snape groaned and then looked up to see Harry standing over him and lifted his wand to curse him. Harry felt the magic build up behind him and then quickly lifted his leg to stomp on Professor Snape's wand hand and ground it into the floor. Everyone heard the bones crunch in his hand. Harry looked at the Headmaster "I think that makes my point rather well. If we are in the same room we cannot be civil together and I will ensure he can no longer abuse me."
Albus held his nose "Mister Potter you are being most difficult."
Harry crossed his arms and said with much angst "I tend to get like that when I am forced against my will to do things and you allow people to abuse me." Harry smiled and added "That goes for his little snakes too. They harass me or don't leave me alone or threaten others and I will take action, especially Malfoy because I have had enough of his shite too."
Albus looked at him with concern and shock. This wasn't the Harry he had come to know. "Harry you can't act like this without consequences."
Harry piped back "But the bullies can because you let them. I have had enough of that." Harry sighed "If you don't like it get rid of them or me."
Minerva sighed "Albus I have told you this would happen one day and you didn't listen. I think forcing this tournament onto Mister Potter has broken the camel's back as they say." Minerva turned to him "It is time to straighten out bad behavior."
Albus looked at her "Minerva this is not the time or place for this discussion."
Harry snorted "Oh by all means Headmaster allow us to leave so you can have this discussion because the hospital beds only have one occupant tonight but by the end of the week it will be full if you don't fix it and I promise you that."
Harry's cold eyes fixed on his "You have created what I am because you and everyone else just keep piling it on me. I have no doubt that you don't intend to straighten out anyone's misperception about me wanting to be in this tournament and they in turn will believe I wanted this. Again, I will receive more abuse with no one to help me. I have had enough professors!"
Professor Moody spoke up "Albus I think the kid has a point and he is right fed up with things around here. He has been pushed too far and won't take it anymore."
Everyone headed for the door and departed and Harry was the last one but was stopped by the Headmaster "Harry I am sorry but you have to compete in this tournament."
Harry stopped at the door and held it as his knuckles turned white with anger "I will compete in your bloody stupid tournament…under protest. I am done being everybody's whipping boy. When I find out who is doing this there will be a day of accounting for it."
Harry turned and held out his hand "Accio my wand." Albus was shocked to see his wand fly over to Harry's hand. Harry put the wand up his sleeve "I sense this is a Potter Family wand. I will be taking it back as it is mine anyway. Please think about that in all your manipulations of people." Harry turned and left leaving Albus very stunned.
Harry walked out of the room to see that some students still remained in the hall and he strode past them without looking at them. "Hey scar-head you are pathetic. You're a lame wizard without talent and won't last a minute in this tournament."
Harry stopped in his tracks and Cedric saw a smirk appear on Harry's face as he turned around to face his nemesis Draco Malfoy. Harry turned and walked towards him "Malfoy for three years everybody has heard you state over and over how great you think you are."
Harry walked up to him and slapped him hard in the face. "Come on little boy show everybody your greatness. You think you're the greatest wizard because of your name and you have a little gold." Harry slapped him again.
Malfoy recoiled from him "What is wrong with you Potter?"
Harry put his finger in his chest "Your father is a damn death eater. You know it and I know it and I am tired of you prancing around here like you are god's gift to everyone."
Harry shoved him hard "Pull your wand if you think you are man enough."
Malfoy looked scared and said nothing. Harry looked at him with his eyes glowing "Malfoy, this is the last time you say anything to me or my friends because if you do I will put you in the hospital. I have had it with your bullshit." Harry gave him an uppercut and knocked him out."
Harry turned to the rest of the Slytherins "That goes for the rest of you as well. Act up and I will stomp you hard. You want to talk to me, then do so without all the insults like a decent person would."
Suddenly Marcus Flynnt stood up "Potter I don't know who you think you are but …" Without even looking Harry flung his hand out and a spell struck Flint in the chest and he flew back to the wall and crumpled to the floor.
Harry looked around in the hall "Anybody else wish to test my resolve?" Everyone looked down and refused to look him in the eye. "Goodnight then."
Harry stepped out of the hall and found Fleur Delacour waiting for him. He looked at her warily as he approached. He noticed her face was very flush and had a definite tinge to it. Fleur blushed "Lord Potter… I wish to give you an invitation to study potions with me at a time of your choosing." Fleur looked down "I am in seventh year and I am pretty good with potions and you will need it to further your education." She stammered out.
Fleur looked very flustered "If I am not acceptable then Madam Maxine offered to let you study with the rest of Beaubaton in our carriage."
Harry looked dumb struck and then asked her "Why?"
Fleur looked into his eyes before Harry restated the question "Why do you want to help me?"
Her eyes flashed open "You are going to make me say this aren't you." She let a stream of French slip from her lips before she looked at him again. "May I speak with you privately for a moment and I will tell you."
Harry nodded and grabbed her hand before leading her to an empty classroom. He closed the door and she locked it before turning to him. "How much do you know about Veela Harry?"
Harry scratched his head "Only what I have heard from others but I don't trust it. People tend to exaggerate."
Fleur smiled "Oui." She stated. "I am veela Harry. One trait that Veela can't resist is a powerful wizard and the other is a man that can overcome our allure. You, it seem, are able to be both of these."
Harry seemed unsure so Fleur smiled "I have allowed my allure to go full blast and right now you should be a blubbering idiot but you are not. You are resistant to it."
Harry seemed shocked "Ok, I get that but I am not that powerful." Fleur rolled her eyes and looked up at him.
Fleur then stepped closer "You are so powerful that standing this close to you causes me to flutter on the inside. It is like you have a veela allure to me and I find myself wanting to do things…to you."
Harry looked worried "I am sorry I don't mean to. I didn't mean to cause you any pain."
Fleur laughed "Harry it doesn't hurt me at all. It makes me feel giddy." Fleur leaned up and kissed him. Harry was shocked at first and felt himself relax as this was very pleasurable to him. Within seconds he grabbed her around the waist and brought her closer as they deepened the kiss.
Fleur's eyes suddenly opened in surprise as her body tensed before relaxing again. Harry stepped back "Did I do that badly? Did I hurt you?"
Fleur smiled and closed her eyes "Mon dieu, absolutely not. You made me orgasm like I have never felt one before. This is what drew me to you. I want to feel more of this with you."
Fleur looked at him "I am offering myself with no strings attached. I am offering myself to you because I want this very badly."
Harry looked surprised and stuttered "I… Fleur… I have never had a girlfriend or been with anybody."
Fleur smiled at him and kissed his cheek "Harry, then I will teach you all you need to know about sex and love because I want to."
Harry leaned back and looked at her before a smile crept onto his face "I thought you wanted to teach me potions?"
Fleur laughed "Oui that too but in between we shall learn another kind of magic." Fleur stepped back and removed her blouse, then her skirt showing Harry her body.
Harry looked at her "You are very beautiful."
Fleur smiled at him "You are a fast study about making women feel good about themselves. Now do you know how to take your clothes off or must I rip them from your body."
Harry stripped down and then Fleur eyed him in appreciation. She stepped closer "Oh Harry I think you shall ruin me from any other man because I am enthralled with you already."
An hour and a half later Harry and Fleur walked out of the classroom with many on lookers watching them. Both seemed disheveled and had weird smiles plastered on their faces. Older students knew that look but the younger ones didn't have a clue.
Harry, being a gentleman walked her to the carriage and gave her a goodnight kiss. Fleur smiled and then shoved something into his pocket before laughing "This is your trophy for being such a good student."
Harry pulled her panties from his pocket and looked at her before she stated "This is so you can tell your friends what a stud you are."
Harry looked down "Fleur I have no need to do that and I wouldn't anyway. That is something private between us."
Fleur looked at him with a serious expression "No? You could impress all your friends."
Harry frowned "I don't need or want to do that. I only care that you are happy."
Fleur smiled before shoving them back into his pants "Then I give them to you so when you are old and gray you can remember your first time and the girl that gave them to you." Harry smiled at that. They kissed briefly before Harry headed up to his dorm.
Harry was whistling as he walked into the main room. He was halfway across when he heard a familiar voice "How did you do it Potter?" Harry stopped and turned to see Ron and Hermione with their arms crossed and watching him.
Harry stepped towards them "How did I do what?"
Ron asked "How did you put your name in the cup?"
Harry looked at him with a little confusion "Ron, you and Hermione know I said I wanted nothing to do with this tournament. I was looking forward to a dull year. I told you that weeks ago."
Ron looked red in the face "I remember that is what you said but obviously that was a lie."
Harry looked at Ron and saw all the signs of his impending explosion. He then looked at Hermione when she asked "Did you put your name in the cup?"
Harry slumped "You guys really think I did this to myself, do you really believe that?"
Ron spate out "What I don't believe is you did it without telling us you were doing it. I would kill to be selected in this tournament, a thousand galleons to the winner and eternal glory for the champion."
Harry looked at him "That maybe your dream but it is not mine." Harry asked Hermione "Is this what you believe as well? That I entered myself into the tournament, for the glory, for the attention?"
Harry noticed that Hermione couldn't look him in the eyes and then looked over to Ron. Ron nudge her "Go ahead tell him. We have been talking about it the last two hours."
Harry looked at her as she stated "Did you have somebody else do it for you?"
Harry's eyes flashed in anger and he was more hurt and disappointed by Hermione's not believing him than Ron's belief "Fine, he stated you believe whatever you want. You are both gits and I will have nothing further to do with you." Harry turned and walked away from them.
Hermione called out "Harry why do you have girl's panties hanging from your pocket?"
Harry checked his pocket and held up the panties. Both of them saw a clear FD initial's on them. He looked at both of them "That seems rather personal and something that is private and not shared with just anybody." Harry turned and walked up the stairs.
Ron flopped down "That git he entered himself into the tournament just to get more fame and glory and won't share it with me."
Hermione had been watching the fire intently "Ron I don't think he did. He feels we betrayed him… I saw it in his eyes."
Ron scoffed "Yeah, well he betrayed us first."
Hermione looked over at him and something inside of her flickered before it fled away, a moment of anger for Ron because he was acting like a jealous prat and she knew it. Before she could get worked up her sudden increased feelings of loyalty to Ron and her acute interest in the red head suppressed her natural feelings. She shook her head to clear her confusion.
Ron looked at her "Why do you always side with him over me. I thought you cared about me?"
Hermione at first got angry and suddenly that emotion was swept away and she said quickly "Ron I am not taking his side and I do care about you. You could be the better man here and give him the benefit of the doubt."
Ron sat up straight "He found a way to enter and left me and you behind. Then he goes and shags a girl and you still believe in him?"
Hermione looked hurt before Ron continued "We mean nothing to him. He is just using us for his own gain. He uses you for getting his homework done and me so he gets better at Quidditch.
Hermione felt this was terribly wrong in some way but her thoughts would not clear. She stood up "Ron, I am very tired and I am going to sleep."
Ron stood up and then grabbed Hermione's hand before kissing her cheek. Hermione was almost repelled back at first but then smiled at him before leaving the room.
CHAPTER Three
Harry let Hedwig fly from his arm and watched her fly out over the grounds. Some friends I hung out with he stated to himself. A jealous prat and a book…he couldn't finish that word because he knew how much it hurt Hermione to hear it. Even though he was hurt very badly he couldn't find it in himself to hurt her, she didn't deserve it.
Harry left the owlry and walked down to dinner. On his way down the stairs he felt a buildup of magic behind him and waited until he felt it coming towards him before stepping to the side and shielding himself. He turned and found Crabbe, Goyle, and Malfoy at the top of the stairs. The latter had his wand out and looked surprised that he had missed.
Harry looked at him before he flicked his hand and bound Crabbe and Goyle. Malfoy suddenly looked very scared and tried to turn and run but found he could no longer move. "I don't think so Draco."
Suddenly from around the corner Professor Snape came out screaming "Potter that is fifty points and a month's worth of detentions and you will stop your attack on these students. Harry's reply was to take his left hand and cast a wand less stunner which hit Snape in the chest. He levitated all of them to the Main hall right as dinner was in full swing.
Every head in the hall turned to look at the main doors as they slammed open. Harry followed by the four people who attacked him came into everybody's view and they gasped. Professor Dumbledore looked on and his eyes widened in surprise. Professor McGonagall was quicker with a question "Mister Potter what is the meaning of this?"
Harry looked around and then finally to her "I told you I was done being every body's whipping boy and a person they abuse." Harry sneered "I also told you that there are consequences when I am attacked."
Malfoy began screaming out "Headmaster he attacked the four of us as we were coming to dinner. We didn't do anything to cause this."
Harry looked to Albus Dumbledore "Of course you know that is not going to be my official statement. My statement is that Malfoy attacked me from behind like the coward that he is and when I stopped him, then professor Snape came out of nowhere to protect his snakes and give me detention for attacking them."
Dumbledore looked around and noticed that everyone was looking to him and how he was going to handle this. "Harry, of course since it is your word against Malfoy's there will be no detention and no point loss and both of you should go your separate ways."
Harry smiled "Really but it is my word against Professor Snape's as well and I am sure you will find his story very colorful and that would make it my word against both of theirs. Surely you can believe a professor over a mere student. Maybe I should have the point's loss after all?"
Dumbledore looked surprised and then shocked by the innuendo that Harry was stating "Actually Mr. Potter Professor Snape is not challenging this at all."
Harry then frowned "Well I could wake him from the stunner I caste at him if you want to hear his version of the events."
Professor McGonagall had a little smirk on her face as she said the next "Mr. Potter if I didn't know any better I would suspect that there is more to this story than you are letting on."
Harry grinned "Really, Professor. Could it be that you find it as hard to believe as I and the rest of the students find it that I attacked four people without a reason?" Harry looked around "Would everybody that has been attacked in this same manner by these four and lost points please raise their hands?"
The hall suddenly quieted before people from each house, except Slytherin, raised their hands. Harry looked around "Well it seems that this is a modus operandi for these four and how they terrorize others at their leisure. Perhaps we should investigate this further, after all Headmaster my family's honor is at stake because people may think that I am a lying, attention seeking git." Harry finished that sentence while looking at Ron and Hermione.
Albus leaned forward "Mr. Potter I can assure you that your word is good enough for me and that this inquiry is done."
Harry turned to him "Albus that is your problem, you don't investigate and you allow the bullies to get away with it. I am not done and I want to show everyone the truth because it needs to stop." Harry called out "Accio the Potter Family Pensieve." Harry looked at the headmaster who had suddenly paled. A minute later a large marble stand and a basin floated into the room and sat down besides Harry. Harry looked directly at Albus "Now I wonder how my property came to be at Hogwarts when its' last known location was Gringotts?" The headmaster clearly gulped.
Harry took his wand and withdrew his memory of the event and played it for the entire hall. "That is my memory of the event."
Albus stood up "Very good Mister Potter and it is clear that you were right all along."
Harry looked at him "Sit down Albus because we are not done. I have some Potter family magic that will get us the truth."
Harry bound Professor Snape and then enervated him "Potter put me down, now!"
Harry looked at him "Professor did you help Draco plan an attack on me?"
Professor Snape stopped and looked at him and then up to Dumbledore "Headmaster why is this child allowed to do this. I demand to be released."
Harry put his wand to Professor Snape's head and removed a memory with an incantation. He dumped it into the pensieve and hit four runes to activate a large screen above the basin. The entire student body watched as Professor Snape planned the attack on Potter and instructed Draco Malfoy in how to do it.
Professor Snape stopped fighting the binds that held him and then screamed out "Potter has altered my memory, everybody knows you can't remove memories like that."
Harry didn't flinch and asked Malfoy the same question and repeated the process as he removed the memory from Malfoy's mind. He allowed everybody to see a memory of Professor Snape giving the instructions to Malfoy.
Albus was about to say something when Professor Flitwick stood on the table "I recognize this magic. It is of Goblin origin and only one human family has ever had it other than the Goblin nation and that is the Potter Family. Please note it is authentic because Malfoy's memory was the same as Snape's and from Malfoy's point of view."
Professor Flitwick turned on Albus "You will fix this headmaster by removing Professor Snape as a head of house. If you don't I will resign immediately. My house has been allowed to be mistreated for years and you have done nothing about it."
Professor Sprout stood up "I agree with Filius and state the same."
When Professor McGonagall stood up Albus became active "Stop! There is no need for you to state the same Minerva." Albus turned to Professor Snape "You are hereby removed from your head of house duties and you are no longer allowed to give or take points away or give detentions. You are hereby on probation and if I receive any more complaints about you, you will be fired."
The rest of the hall broke out in cheers as Harry released professor Snape who quickly walked out of the hall. Harry released Crabbe and Goyle and told them to sit down at their house table which they did quickly.
Once the hall quieted down Albus looked at Harry "I hope that this concludes the events for this evening? Please release Mr. Malfoy."
Harry smirked as he answered "No Headmaster I don't believe I will. I demand satisfaction because he is a coward, a braggart, and above all a despicable person. He cast a potentially deadly curse at me and he needs to be punished."
Albus shook his head "Harry haven't we had enough turmoil this evening. I believe Mr. Malfoy got the message."
Harry frowned "No he won't he is a bit thick and very full of himself. He thinks he is better than everyone else and it is his god given right to abuse those he thinks are lesser than him. He needs to be taught a lesson he will never forget."
Albus frowned and held his hands out "What is it you would have me do?"
Harry's eyes flashed at him "What you seem to do best headmaster… nothing. I will take care of it." Harry then flicked his fingers and a dueling platform appeared below him and Draco.
Harry then levitated Draco to the other end before he placed a thick golden shield around the platform. Harry waved his fingers and the bindings around Malfoy disappeared and left Malfoy standing at the opposite end of the platform.
Harry held his hands up and quieted everyone "I want Draco to face me without my back being turned to him. I want him to show everyone in this school what a superior wizard looks like and how they act." Harry smiled and gave an evil grin "I know this is asking a lot from a coward like Malfoy but one can always hope."
The whole hall erupted in laughter and Malfoy's face turned red in anger. He held his wand out before him and shouted back at Potter. "I will show you Potter what a superior wizard can do. I am no coward and I will gladly face you in this duel."
Harry glared at him "Really Malfoy all I see is a bunch of hot air coming from one of your orifices as usual. Go ahead Malfoy I will let you cast first or should I turn my back to you?"
Malfoy replied by screaming in frustration and casting a low level cutting curse at Harry. Harry flicked his wand at the last second and deflected the spell at the canvas which ripped a foot wide swath of cloth where the spell hit. Malfoy sneered "I see that got your attention Potter. Are you scared now?"
Harry smiled as he looked at him "Malfoy you are such an idiot. That was a deadly curse fired at the last surviving member of an ancient and noble house. That was an attempt to end that line. You do know that it means I can legally kill you now if I want to?"
Malfoy looked surprised and then his face revealed a fear that had not been there before. Harry looked at him "Are you scared now Malfoy?" Malfoy didn't reply but looked like a cornered, scared child that he was. Harry's face hardened and an evil glint appeared in his eye.
Malfoy without thinking screamed "Avadra Kedavra!" the sickly green curse flew from his wand and moved toward Harry. Harry looked at it and then stepped to the other side and it missed him completely. The hall was deathly quiet as they witnessed Malfoy throw an unforgivable.
Harry frowned and looked deadly serious "That was a bad mistake Malfoy." Harry then flicked his wand and Malfoy's wand flew from his hand and into Harry's. Harry threw both of their wands out of the dueling ring while removing his robe and shirt. "We are going to do this the old fashion way Malfoy with our fists since you can't be trusted not to resort to deadly curses."
Malfoy looked more scared than ever as Harry approached and in haste yelled "I yield, I yield."
Harry kept coming "No, not yet you won't. You have had this coming for a very long time."
Harry moved ever closer and then swung hard before hearing the crunch of Malfoy's nose breaking. Malfoy fell back on his butt holding his nose. With his eyes watering he looked at Harry and was afraid for the first time in his life.
Harry stopped moving "Malfoy I had to learn at the tender age of five how to take a punch from my loving cousin because when I struck back my uncle beat and threw me in a cupboard. I wasn't allowed to fight back you see."
Malfoy stood up and held his arms up similar to Harry's to try and protect himself. Harry moved in and hit him in the solar plexus. Malfoy curled into a ball unable to breathe or move.
Harry walked around "So tonight I am going to teach you all about taking a punch just like I had to learn. Then I am going to teach you about pain because my loving uncle showed me all about that too. I have plenty of scars all over my back to prove that and lastly Malfoy I am tired of people taking advantage of me and I want you to learn to leave me alone because the next time I have to show you… well it will be your last lesson.
Minerva looked over at Albus and frowned deeply "If any of what Harry says is true and you left him there without checking up on him, I will make you pay dearly Headmaster Dumbledore." Albus looked at her and paled before standing up.
Albus walked down the dais and shouted "Harry that is enough!"
Harry turned to look at him "Enough, Headmaster? Enough is when Malfoy quits trying to intimidate people. Enough is when Malfoy thinks he can no longer get away with anything because his name is Malfoy. Enough today is when I say it is enough because nobody in this school has done anything to stop him. That will be enough!"
Harry then picked up Malfoy and began a systematic throttling of Malfoy like had never been done before. Professor Sprout, Professor Flitwick, and Professor McGonagall were very worried when Harry enervated Malfoy for the second time and began on him again. By this time Malfoy was begging him to stop. Harry had sweat pouring from his brow as he looked at Draco Malfoy who was curled into a ball crying like a baby."
Harry looked at everybody in the hall looking at him with faces that were a mix of scorn, awe, and fear. He looked at Dumbledore and said with harshness "That is enough I believe to get it across to everyone that I am tired of the careless attitudes of the staff at Hogwarts. I blame you for this Headmaster because you are too worried about the bullies and careless about their victims… I am not a victim anymore so you control your pets or I will do it for you."
Harry dropped the shield and then kicked Malfoy off of the dueling platform before he walked out the door putting his shirt and robe back on. Harry left to a very silent hall. He made his way to a class room and sat down on the floor and sighed heavily. His mind was a mess as he thought about what he had done.
CHAPTER Four -
He silently transfigured a trash can and threw up in it before taking a conjured towel and wiping his face and mouth. He felt a nudge on his shoulder and saw a bottle of water being held in the hand. He looked up to find the person he least expected in the entire planet to be doing something for him.
Daphne Greengrass smirked "It is not poison Potter I promise because lord knows after what you just did to Snape and Malfoy I would be just a chew toy before the poison worked."
Harry actually chuckled and grabbed it before guzzling it down. "Thanks, I needed that."
Daphne frowned before asking "You really didn't want to do that to Malfoy did you?"
Harry turned away and shook his head no vigorously. "I had to because in three more years a new generation of Magicals would learn they get no help when they are victims and the bullies learn it is ok" Harry looked down "It was not good what I did but Dumbledore was not going to fix things and he needed to know that if he doesn't, it will only get worse."
Daphne sighed before Harry said the next "I almost feel sorry for Malfoy. He didn't deserve a beating like that."
Daphne chuckled "Oh yes he did Potter. Around Slytherins he is much worse because Snape let him be. Both of them were turning the Slytherin's into arrogant bullies. In one dinner you have changed the dynamic of my house by hitting the two most influential prats in it."
Harry looked at her "Was it really that bad?"
Daphne looked him in the eyes "Malfoy had already staked his claim to me and was segregating me from the crowd so he could do what he wanted." Daphne huffed "You could imagine what that would have been. So you saved me tonight Potter and you saved the other girls in my house."
Harry looked at her "So why tell me now. I would never have known. What is in it for you?"
Daphne arched an eye and then looked hurt before she answered "Contrary to popular belief Slytherins do not have to have a reason to do everything."
Harry looked up at her "Sorry, all I know about Slytherin is Malfoy."
Daphne smiled "That is part of why I am here. Not all in my house are like him but to go against the grain is isolation." Daphne kneeled down in front of him "I am here because it is now possible for me to have more freedom." Daphne looked into his eyes "I watched an eleven year old rag-a-muffin walk in through the doors here and I knew he was from a wealthy ancient and noble house but he was dressed and acted like a pauper and it confused me and I wanted to know why. I wanted to talk to him but I was not allowed…until now. So here I am."
Harry eyed her and she him "I was never told about my family except that they were lay about's, a drunk and a whore. No one every told me they had money." Harry looked down "How rich were they?"
Daphne smiled and lifted his chin "Uh-uh Golden boy I want something in return, this is my Slytherin side coming out. I want to join you on this journey to learn about your family and I want to learn about you because you interest me."
Harry looked at her and stood up quickly "You're a fan girl. I hate an adoring public as they turn on you the first chance they get."
Daphne stood up "Wait that is not what I meant. I was fooling around and making a bad joke."
Harry stopped but didn't turn around and Daphne added quickly "I have always wanted to talk to you and as soon as I saw you I was interested but I have never gotten the chance before today. You have more than Malfoy five times over." Daphne paused "May I please hang out with you?"
Harry hid a big huge grin "Is the Ice Queen thawing out a bit."
Daphne's face fell in shock and then she began to laugh as did Harry. They sat back down and were smiling "Why such the fascination with me?" Harry asked her.
Daphne smirked "You may not know this boy wonder but there is a bunch of books about Harry Potter. I read them as a child. I learned to read with them. When I came to school and you were here, well I wanted to know more." Daphne blushed.
Harry grinned "Ok well that means the jury is still out on if you're a fan girl or not but a bloke would have to be stupid to tell a pretty girl to go away, wouldn't he?"
Daphne smiled "Or batting for the other team Potter….are you?"
Harry chuckled "Oh I think that was down-right Slytherin because if I don't let you hang out with me then you'll tell everybody I am a poofer."
Daphne batted her eyes at him and then lifted her skirt to show more thigh "Harry I am so much more than a pretty face."
Harry grinned while looking at her exposed leg "I could tell that all ready without the extra skin showing." Harry sported a huge grin "What if I were a breast man?"
Daphne chuckled at him "Well then I would have to do this." She then unbuttoned two of her blouse buttons to show off her bra and cleavage."
Harry looked as she leaned over and then into her eyes "Are you offering what Malfoy wanted?"
Daphne leaned back "Not yet anyway but I am offering enticement so you will let me hang out."
Harry then leaned forward and buttoned her blouse back "Then with me you can be yourself and you don't have to do that just to be here. I don't need that to be interested."
Daphne smiled at him "Somehow I think I knew that but this is also a part of me so you should get use to it." She undid the buttons again."
Harry chuckled "Now that I didn't expect."
They were interrupted by a knock on the door and then Fleur popped in "Am I Interrupting?" she asked. Harry turned red but Daphne smiled "No not at all come on in."
Daphne watched Harry's reaction and he looked guilty so Daphne leaned back exposing herself more. Fleur looked at her and then smiled "Ah, I see another witch is affected by your Veela charm Harry."
This made Daphne and Fleur laugh at how much this made Harry blushed. Daphne smiled "Potter, are you two timing me already?"
Fleur quipped back "Ah trust me he did it more than two times with me."
Harry lay back and covered his face "You are taking the mickey out of me, right?"
Fleur stood over him "Harry, I told you t' at this between us is no strings attached. I just want my share of you too."
Daphne scooted over and placed her hand on his thigh "Why Harry you want a no strings attached relationship with me, you should have told me."
Harry looked up and saw that Fleur had no under wear on and then grinned. "That is a very beautiful sight."
Fleur chuckled "Thank you!" Fleur looked around and then turned serious "Harry I saw your back and I brought some scar cream that will help you. Can I put it on your back please?"
Harry looked at her for a second "My back isn't pretty to look at."
Fleur gave him a radiant smile "Oui, but then I am not here because of what is on your back but what is in the front, No?"
Harry and Daphne both laughed at this. Harry conjured a massage table as Daphne and then Fleur removed their robes. He lay down after removing his shirt. He soon felt their hands on his back before feeling his hands run between their legs. Daphne hesitated at first and then smirked "Potter just a warning if I say no or stop, then the second warning is a nasty hex to your privates."
Harry smiled "Yes, mistress Ice Queen he said in a mock voice." Daphne and Fleur laughed "Just so I have this correct and to save my private's this is ok?"
Daphne gasped "Good lord Potter it is a definite yes." She then spread her legs a little."
Daphne grinned "I want to do his front too."
Fleur smirked and winked at her "Oui the best is for last."
Harry chuckled "I do have feelings you know."
Daphne smiled and sighed "Yes, Harry and I promise to respect you in the morning. Now turn your lazy bum over."
An hour later they were standing at the door finishing putting their robes on. Daphne was straightening her clothes. She looked over at Fleur and saw her hair still messed up and she messed her hair up. "The fresh shagged looked." She said.
Harry seemed confused "Isn't that bad for your reputation?"
Daphne smiled "That is very sweet Harry." She then handed him her panties "For your trophy collection and please leave them hanging out of your pocket so people can see them."
Harry frowned "I don't need to boost my ego. I want things to stay private between us."
Daphne leaned toward him and smiled "Harry that is wonderful but if I am a Potter acquisition then that provides me with protection, especially after today. Don't question it just go with it.
Harry looked at her "I hate it when you say things like that you are not property to be sold."
Daphne chuckled at him "As long as you remember that Harry what the others think is unimportant. They are too scared of you to do anything about it or bother me."
Fleur opened the door and the three walked out to find a small crowd had gathered around the class room door.
Fleur quickly grabbed Harry and planted a very unchaste kiss on his lips. When she was done she said far above a whisper "Same time tomorrow night?"
Harry shook his head "You are insatiable, you know that?"
Fleur chuckled "Oui, Mon Cheri but only with you."
Daphne then came to stand in front of him and she placed him into a hug and then a kiss that made his toes curl. She leaned back and grinned at him "Same time tomorrow night love?"
Harry smiled "As you wish my Ice Queen." That got the entire crowd to start murmuring louder and made Daphne and Harry smile more as they parted ways.
Harry looked around and then shook his head as he closed the door and went up the stairs. He went to the common room and found many Gryffindors gathered. He looked at them and then passed all of them to head to his dorm room. As he approached the stairs he heard Fred and George "I say old man is that the Harry Potter that passed us by."
Fred answered "I believe it is."
George replied "Should we have a chat with the fellow, ya think?"
Harry turned to them and grinned "Gentlemen what can I, as a lowly mortal, do for you?"
Fred and George both smiled "Ah but Harrikins it is we, more lowly than mortals that want to know what we can do for you."
George spoke up "We were greatly impressed by your actions today and if we can be of service we wish to help you."
Harry smiled at them "Thanks guys." He then stepped to the next step and turned back to them "Nothing yet but it is nice to know you have my back."
Fred placed his hand on his shoulder "I know we jest a lot but we mean this. Ask and we shall help you."
George then added "Regardless of how much our brother is being a git to you." Harry nodded and then smiled before walking up the stairs.
The next day was going to be busy for Harry. He already had a clue as to what was coming. Draco's father was not going to be happy about Draco's condition and he knew that Malfoy Senior would most likely bring Minister Fudge into this somehow someway.
Harry lay down and closed his eyes and before he knew it, the morning had arrived.
