I don't own Harry Potter, nor do I own RWBY. I'm just having a bit of fun with the characters. Also, I don't own Crysis or anything… really.

Five to Seven Year Hogwarts - Four Years RWBY -
Chapter Four
Hogwarts - Year Three
A Wolf, a Dog, and a Dementor walk into a Shack!
Harry's second full summer away from the Dursleys was both hurried and bountiful. Both Harry and Hermione had taken their "GCSE" Level exams and would be getting the results back just before returning to Hogwarts for their third year. They would then begin to work on getting their "A" Levels the following year. For the Granger summer holiday, they had planned on only going to Greece but with Harry pitching in with funds they added another two weeks split between China and Japan. Harry using his extremely high intellect, he bought a 'Learn to speak Japanese' and a 'Learn to speak Mandurian' on a compact disc and played them his new Sony Discman. This allowed him to learn both Japanese and Mandurian during their flight. Something that made both Dan and Emma stunned and Hermione impressed. Hermione tried but was able to instantly under and speak before arriving in China nor Japan.
During each of their visits, they toured both Magical and mundane sightseeing locations. Hermione was impressed with the ancient Greeks for their culture and Warding abilities. Harry very much enjoyed the Chinse culture and as well as their fighting weapons. During a detour on their way to the magical ally in Tokyo, Harry found a swordsmith who looked to be over two hundred years young or so. It was in this shop that he found what could be described as his destiny's sword. It screamed at Harry in Joy and Pain. The old man said that those who had come into the shop, that very few had even noticed it before or felt the need to steer clear of the blade altogether and that Harry was the first to ever approach it in his lifetime.
Harry listened to the sword's bloody history. It was forged by one of his ancestors over a thousand years before he was born. "It was said to give power to those who could weld the Kensei Blade," said the old man.
And Harry could feel it too. The sword blade was much longer than the normal katana, around forty-two inches in length, and had a handle that was nearly half of that. It also had a series of what Harry thought of a Runes going up and down the length of the blade.
'Norachi,' Harry thought. 'Great Sword.'
Harry walked out of the store with his money poach notably lighter and a sword and sheath on his back. Interestingly enough, nobody bothered him about the huge sword strapped to his back nor did customs stop him carrying the sword on the plane, they just didn't notice it.

Upon returning to the Granger residence they noticed a few odd things had changed within their home. Dobby had not noticed anything bar a stray dog sniffing around. "Dobby be giving strange doggy food from time to time, but Dobby notz be letting smelly dog into bez staying," Dobby proclaimed.
"That alright, Dobby," Thanks for watching the home.
Dobby gave a watery smile at Harry and popped away to start on supper for the night. The house-elf loves working for him and Hermione's family.
~HP-RWBY~
A few days after they returned from vacation, they each received their school letter and made plans for a trip the following weekend to Diagon Alley in order to purchase their needed school supplies. They also required to purchase new clothes, as most of their clothes were getting to be a bit too small for the coming term, so Dobby acquiring the supplies was not going to happen for them this year.
Dan assisted Harry in removing much of the content of his trust vault again. Although Harry did overhear the goblins talk about the enchantments on 'their' gold and that there was no way he would be able to remove them. 'arrogant little trolls they were,' Harry thought.
As Harry had already picked up the standard booklist, Harry only needed to gather the different books that he had not already had. Although, Harry would find two or three dozen other books that would catch his eye. Most being on potions, alchemy, and advance rune work and enchanting.
Other than their trip to Gringotts, their trip to London wasn't very exciting. The only thing out of place was the few posters of someone named Sirius Black who had escaped the prison known as, Azkaban.
~HP-RWBY~
The week that led up to September 1st Harry began to have some concerns over Hermione's safety. He wasn't concerned for himself as he understood that with his powers nothing truly could hurt him permanently, but Hermione? This concern, lead to his talk with Hermione. And a few days before their return to school had Harry voicing them to her.
"Hermione," Harry asked with concern in his voice.
"Yes, Harry?" she asked, putting down the book on Arithmancy she was currently reading.
"You know that, over the past few years, I have the ability to alter my body and gain powers, right? And that it isn't strictly magical in nature, right?" Harry asked.
Hermione nodded, "Your comic book powers…," she giggled at the childish name for what Harry could do.
"Yes… Well," Harry replied offhandedly combing back his hair with his right hand while organizing his idea. "What if we could do something to keep you safer while you are at Hogwarts or anywhere, really."
"I don't have your ability and I doubt anyone ever could. Not without talking with your mother to find out what she did to allow you to change as you do." It was a moot point discussing the ritual, and they both knew it was a ritual that had altered Harry in a way to survive something un-survivable.
"Well, when I looked into those 'comic book powers', I read about the Ironman Suit. Do you think it's possible to make a suit of armor with magic?" Harry asked his best friend.
"I would look a bit foolish walking around in a plate armor suit, I would think, and it would be hard to move in as well," she stated, shooting down his idea, until… "Well…," thinking for a bit, "if we used some type of metal-like plate for the main areas and something flexible for the joints, like maybe and wetsuit that is used in diving, it might be a bit better," she replied, thinking out loud.
Harry could kiss her for that idea. This idea, lead to a conversation about auto-sizing clothes that could be purchased in the wizarding world. How they were made, including what sort of charms that would be used and the like. They figured it would be a good project to fill the boring time during school. Flitwick still hasn't got back in touch with them about how they were going to attend all of the classes for the year.
So, they spent the last week of summer vacation asking Madam Malkin's about auto-sizing clothes and was informed that the auto-sizing was in fact overly sized clothes with a charm similar to an adjustable shrinking charm. With this in mind, Harry managed to talk Hermione into purchasing two 10-year aging potion that would last for six hours each from Slug & Jiggers Apothecary for ten Sickles per.
They also stopped at Flourish and Blotts for a few books on the different charms and runes that they may need for the clothes and enchantments on the clothes as well as possible weapons. Hermione also stopped by Magical Menagerie to look for a pet of her own. Inside she found what could be called a big cat or quite a small tiger called Crookshanks.
Once they returned home to drop off their supplies, they used the aging Potion and headed off to a scuba diving store in London in a set of Hermione parents' clothes in order to purchase a pair of wetsuits that would fit their adult form. The suits purchased were a bit bigger than what was recommended by the store clerk to go with. But Harry gave the excuse of looking to bulk out more and still wishing to go diving in the suit.
With a shaking head, the clerk checked them out with their gear.
During that time neither two could not help but discreetly check the other out, both enjoying the look of the other's older form. With the help of the salesperson, they were able to purchase two complete five-millimeter suits. They also stopped by a motorcycle shop for a set of protective gloves, boots, a full-sized helmet, and a set of motorcycle body armor that would cover much of the forearms, elbows, thighs, knees, chest, and spine. Each part would be transfigured into something denser, charmed, and enchanted with Runes in their off time during school.
As they had planned for this project to take up most of the year to complete. They would keep the suits in Harry's library room within his trunk. Interestingly enough, they were both looking forward to the challenge this year.
~HP-RWBY~
September 1st arrived in drizzling rain and cool temperatures. Again, they saw a few posters of the escapee Sirius Black.
They met with their friends, Neville, Susan, and Hanna. Hermione explained that they wanted to keep to themselves for the trip for today and they would be getting into some heavy research. This was not a hard sell as from the looks of both Susan and Hannah, they had begun eyeing the Longbottom heir. A subtle wink to the girls and they dragged poor Neville off to another compartment and left the two Ravenclaws to their research.
They pick a cabin in the forward third and had planned to go through the many books purchased for their power suits that were purchased for their project.
When fellow classmates stopped by looking for space to sit. Once they opened the door and found all the seats full of books and no place to sit, they said their 'hellos' and moved on.
Harry mentioned that Malfoy hadn't stopped by yet and Harry wondered if the Senior had warned him away for their trip.
They each noticed that it was getting colder and the rain was intensifying. Suddenly, the brakes engaged and many of the stack of books Harry had stacked on the seat fell over and buried Hermione in a mountain of books. Up and down the train, trunks fell from the overhead rack, injuring many students and the light on the whole train went out bathing the express in darkness. Then the temperature dropped rapidly as a being opened the door with the wave of a bone decayed hand from a creature wearing a cloak.
Hermione collapsed to the floor just as Harry began hearing the voice of his mother, "Not Harry! Please… have mercy… have mercy… Not Harry! Not Harry! Please… I'll do anything…," "Avada Kedavra!"
Suddenly, Harry's eyes burned like acid and turn silver, and before the Defence Professor could cast a Patronus charm, the cabin was bathed in silver light and the Werewolf screamed.
The only thing left of the dementor was a statue of black ash that quickly disintegrated. When the newest professor's hand had touched the dementor and the werewolf would never the same again.
~HP-RWBY~
Harry awoke in the hospital wing of Hogwarts with his bushy-haired friend resting next to him. He felt drained again, but he could feel his strength returning. He looked at her and noticed her school robes were on so he assumed that it might have been a day or two since his collapse.
Just then, Madam Pomphrey came out of her office with her wand already in hand. Harry wondered if there was not some type of charm, or detecting ward nearby that would inform her of her patients' status.
"How long, Madam Pomphrey?" Harry asked her with a dry throat.
"Three days, Mister Potter. Miss Granger stayed by your bed every night after class, poor dear," she looked wistful at the young girl but shook the thought out and began to cast her wand over the current resident of the ward. After a few minutes, she woke Hermione and told her to return to her dorm to sleep after telling her that he would be able to leave in the morning.
He also took a few more potions, one of then put Harry right to sleep, once again.
~HP-RWBY~
Remus Lupin, Werewolf, and Last, in his mind, surviving member of the Marauders, perform his duties as Defence Against the Dark Arts rather well, thank you very much. He had felt both lighter and stronger ever since the incident on the train where he saw his best friends' only child perform a truly spectacular bout of accidental magic and had turned the roque dementor to ash. Something that had never happened before. He remembered speaking with the headmaster, Albus Dumbledore about it…
Flashback
"So, you did not see Harry cast anything?"
"No, sir. I was about to cast my Patronus to force it out but just before I could, there was a flash of silver light and a second my body felt as if it were on fire. When I came to a minute later, the dementor was ash. I touched the figure and it crumbled to dust."
"I see," the headmaster said while stroking his beard. "Have you too, been checked out by Madam Pomphrey?"
"Yes sir," the werewolf replied. "Madam Pomphrey gave me a clean bill of health."
The two waited a moment before the old man sighed, "I'll have Professor Snape begin to make up a batch of Wolfsbane potion and we will need to monitor everything during the upcoming full moon."
The werewolf bit his lip as he didn't want to argue with the headmaster over Snape brewing a potion for him that wouldn't just poison him instead. He was grateful for the headmaster for several reasons. He allowed him to come to school knowing that he was a werewolf all the while making it safe for him during his transformations every full moon. After the death of Lily and James, Dumbledore took care of little Harry which allowed him to take a job on the continent in order to support himself and sending part of his paycheck to help cover the raising of the last Marauder heir. And then when the job offers had finally dried up, Professor Dumbledore had needed him once again, here at Hogwarts to help him catch Black and to teach the youngest Marauder, Harry James Potter.
Harry was not what he thought he would be. Remus thought he would be in Gryffindor, playing quidditch as a chaser like his dad or maybe a seeker. But no, Harry was in Ravenclaw, which wasn't as bad a Slytherin but still… He was also stunned to learn that Harry did not play quidditch… at all. Sure, he was seen at a few of the games, but he was often was found in the presence of one, Hermione Granger, Muggleborn, and spending most of their time in the library studying or looking up magics of a wide variety. That bit of information had come from the very strict Madam Pince.
During the staff meeting, Remus was able to get more of an insight into Harry James Potter and Hermione Granger. Both had achieved top marks without really trying. He also learned of Snivellus' grudge against Harry due to the Marauders' treatment of him during their school days. Thankfully, he was forbidden to speak about his illness which would have caused him to lose this job.
After another few minutes, nothing was passed so he asked if there was anything else and when nothing new was talked about, he had asked to leave to grade some papers, which was granted.
~HP-RWBY~
The next day after Harry was released for the hospital wing, he was then in a meeting with is Head of House, Professor Flitwick, and best friend, Hermione Granger. He was being informed about the Time-Turner, as fascinating as bending time was, and how to use it as well as the rules about using, said time turner. One of the rules was that time could not be overlapped more than once. They were also told that they would still age at the normal rate, so in theory, their birthday would be changed as they used the artifact. Harry was then informed that Flitwick was only able to acquire one from a friend in the Department of Mystery within the Ministry of Magic. With his permission, they used the time-turner to go back six hours so Harry could get caught up on the need for schoolwork. Truth be told, it only took Harry two of those hours to get caught up the rest was used to work on their new suit back in Harry's cabinet.
They found and began place self-regulating Heating, Cooling, and cleaning charms. This was an interesting set as they could possibly wear the outfit all of the time as the self-cleaning charm also cleaned body odor as well as sweat from the one wearing the outfit. They found the auto-sizing charm in a book Enchanting for beginners.
They decided to only use the time turner during the class periods and do the schoolwork at the Saturday morning study sessions and let all of their friends know about the study session. After a few months, they would as Flitwick into using an empty classroom near the library for their meetings.
It was not until the following Sunday that Harry heard the name 'Sirius Black'. Apparently, he had managed to escape the inescapable wizarding prison known as Azkaban. Many also thought that is escape was in order to kill one, Harry Potter. Storm was sent to Madam Bones, Head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement about Black with all details of the trial and other crimes. He wanted to know how dangerous Black was and whether he should submit his authorization form for Hogsmeade both Dan and Emma signed.
In the next few weeks, he had to put up with Malfoy and Parkinson talking overly loud about him passing out for three days. Snape had also tried to have a go at him, by subtlety insinuating Harry wasn't brave enough for Gryffindor and so fainted in the face of danger.
Harry did not have a reprisal for the greasy professor and so ignored the git and placed another check to the Snape's tally of revenge. Draco's tally was beginning to get fairly long as that list was for the Malfoy name in general. Apparently during the first lesson in Care of Magical Creatures. Draco was injured by a Hippogriff and had complained about it to his father. Now the Ministry was looking to punish the Hippogriff, Buckbeak for the mini-Malfoy clone.
Hermione thought it a bit unfair, so while Harry was researching the many Charms, Runes, and Enchantments needed for their suits. She was looking up Wizarding Law in order to prevent the killing of the innocent beast, and he really did love her for that.
~HP-RWBY~
Harry transfigured two identical copies of both Hermione's and his older form into mannequins plus ten percent to allow deviation in growth rate as well as to hold both suits in their full mockup. He then used a switching spell to place the wetsuits onto the mannequins. This would the process of dawning and removing the suit, each being key to the individual specifically.
Then he began removing the many pads and protective plates from the motorcycle body armor. Using Parseltongue based sticking charm, Harry placed protective plates in the appropriate places on the wetsuits. The hardened Kevlar material, which was used to make the body armor light, but not necessarily strongest or harder than say… titanium or other dense metals. He knew this would need to be merged in the new suit.
Steeping into his mind, Harry was about to do something he had never done before. He walked into the central area of his mindscape, Cerebro. Cerebro was a spherical shape with a single platform extending from the entryway. Only, it currently had sixteen such doorways and platforms. Equally, there was a Harry Potter walking on each platform.
Harry would use the full might of his mind to alter the suits in front of him. All of them lifted the headset and dawned it.
In the center of the sphere the two suits appeared.
"We are in agreement? We will alter the suits."
Harry was going to use his Supernatural Intelligence and utilize it to study the properties of the many metals, plastics, composites, and alloys while using his Focus, Intellect, and Transfiguration, to change the neoprene suit into anything he wanted. And so, they did. The suit changed on the molecular level to that of Carbyne Nano Tubing in a polymer weave. Doing this, changed the look of the suit. The suit bulked out a bit and taking on the appearance of corded muscle with multiple layers of fiber and gel liquid. Another property that neither of the two would find out till much later would be that due to the electro-kinetic property of the suit, spells could now be absorbed by the material, making it stronger. The more spells it absorbed, the stronger the material and energy of the suit overall.
The protective plates were the next to be changed. Harry wanted to make them extremely hard, so he decided to change them into Tungsten Carbide, a dull silver-colored metal with the highest melting point of any pure metal. It is more resistant to fracturing than diamond and would be much harder than steel. During the change, Harry decided to bond those plates molecularly with the suit itself.
After an hour of pure focus, Harry stepped back in exhaustion, even falling to one knee while letting go of his blazing hot wand. Harry stared at the suit in front of him in speculating fascination before falling onto the hard floor, passing out from magical exhaustion.
~HP-RWBY~
Hermione arrived in Harry's trunk to find two things. First, was her Harry laying on the floor near two mannequins with their soon-to-be-new suits that Harry had wanted to design. The second was the newly changed uniforms. The dive suits now looked to have black muscle fibers over the major muscle groups of the human body. Hermione smiled at her suit and couldn't wait to see how it fit. But first, she would need to speak with Harry about the outfits.
Pulling her wand out, she levitated her best friend over to one of the recliners and placed a blanket over him for comfort.
She moved back over to the suits to study them in detail. There she found the books on metallurgy and nanocomposites and the selected materials that would be used for the project. She also noticed a list of ideas for the suits' enchantments and then possible ways to incorporate them. Picking up the notebook she read:
Combative, Reconnaissance, Yaeger, System, Integration, Suit (CRYSIS)
Suit options
Hardness or Imperviousness… combination Impervious and Unbreakable charm.
Strength Boosting… unknown
Enhanced Speed… unknown
Invisibility… combination Disillusionment charm combined with Notice-Me-Not charm.
Enhanced Jump Thrusters… fixed directed banishing charms within the boots and Featherlight charms.
Thermal control… Self-heating and cooling charms tied to self-cleaning and waste removal charms.
Helmet options
Hands-free communications… Linked protean charmed mirrors placed within the corner of the helmet.
Binocular vision… unknown
Underwater or contaminated air filter… Rune or Charm based? Bubblehead charm?
Thermal vision, or other vision options? Mage sight?... Unknown
Global Position Satellite?... Tracking and or Point-Me spell? Shielded electronics?
Retractable headwear… unknown
~end~
Hermione looked over the notes and understood the word, Yaeger. It was actually an adaption of the German word, jaeger, which stood for Hunter or Huntsman, so the suit would be Combative, Reconnaissance and Hunting. She nodded and then looked off to one side where a few books laid. She had nearly two full hours left before she could move about the castle as she and Harry were currently working on a Herbology paper with Neville and a few other classmates in the library.
Sighing, she walked over to the bookcase, where she planned to study those unfinished options that Harry had pointed out but didn't have an answer to yet.
~HP-RWBY~
Months passed by, Hermione received a few gifts on her birthday, and they continued to pass their classes all the while assisting others within the class. However, they began feeling that two of the classes were beginning to feel like a waste of time.
The first was Muggle Studies. It seemed to be highly out of date in terms of technology that came in the last fifty years. And when they pointed out this discrepancy to the professor, they were told that those deficiencies would not be on the OWL exams. Finding that the professor would not change the curriculum, they looked into other options for their studies.
The second and the one that really irritated Harry was Divination. He had yet to get pass a class period without Professor Sybill Trelawney predicting Harry's death. She also made some very odd and general predictions that would seem insightful but so vague as the be laughable.
Both classes tried their patience. However, due to their interactions within the classes, they couldn't study anything else.
Professor Lupin had presented a Boggart for their DADA class but due to time restraints, only half the class was able to complete the task. Neither Hermione nor Harry were able to try their hand at the Boggart.
Over that time, Harry heard many rumors about the supposed reasons for Sirius Black's escape from Azkaban and his plan to kill one, Harry Potter. It was the reason that despite Harry having a signed form from his new guardians, Dan and Emma Granger, that he was still restricted to the school and its grounds. It didn't matter to Harry though as he knew there wasn't a whole lot to do in Hogsmeade but purchase some sweets from Honeydukes or have a meal at the Three Broom Sticks. There were a few bookstores, a couple of writing shops, and some clothing stores they could visit, but they have not had the need for anything so soon into the school year. So, they attacked the library instead, looking up the many charms and runes needed for their power uniforms.
However, when Halloween came Harry began to worry. Every year that Harry had been at Hogwarts something had happened. In his first year, it was the troll in the castle. In his second, it was the beginning of the Chamber of Secrets. This year looked to be the Azkaban escapee, Sirius Black, and then there were currently fifty dementors floating around the Hogwarts boarders. So, it should not have been a surprise when Sirius Black managed to enter Hogwarts and try entering Gryffindor tower in an attempt to assassinate Harry Potter, who currently lives in Ravenclaw tower.
Nonetheless, all four houses were pulled from their common rooms and forced to sleep in the Great Hall while the staff performed a complete search of the castle and grounds.
They were released in the morning to get the Great Hall ready for the day and the house-elves put the Great Hall back to normal for breakfast in less than an hour's time.
~HP-RWBY~
The week after, a ruckus was heard from the Gryffindor table. Rumor had it that due to Draco's injury, the Gryffindor Quidditch team would be forced to play Hufflepuff this Saturday instead of Slytherin's house. Snape had made that ruling due to Draco's injury preventing him from play as Seeker. There was some speculation about a contract for those new brooms, but nothing ever came about it.
Harry wondered if he should really break the young sadistic narcissist's arm as punishment or not. Of course, Hermione had turned him away from those lofty endeavors and said that they should attend with Neville as support for Gryffindor. And with those rich brown eyes of hers, he didn't have much of a choice as he just couldn't say no to those eyes.
In an interesting note, the Gryffindor vs Hufflepuff game he introduction to the youngest Weasley child, Ginny Weasley, who became Gryffindor's newest seeker. She was also given a new Nimbus 2000 racing broom by their Head of House, Professor McGonagall. This would have given her a lead in the chase for the snitch if it weren't for the Hufflepuff Seeker, Cedric Diggory's experience in flying.
So, Saturday afternoon Harry and Hermione sat in the Ravenclaw stands under water-repelling and heating charms as the two teams rocketed through the deluge of freezing rain and powerful gust all the while dodging Rogue Blungers and the occasional fork of lightning coming from the clouds. If common sense were in any witch or wizard at the time, they would have called the game a long time ago. However, the two teams seem to be doing their level best as the scores remained very close. It would seem as though the match would come down to who would get to the snitch first.
Nonetheless, that is where the match took a very dark turn as both seekers began chasing the snitch higher into the clouds. A few seconds later, a stray bolt of lightning flashed and the Hufflepuff seeker was seen falling from the cloud, tiny electrical arks moving across his body as he still gripped his broom. Cedric managed to recover just before hitting the ground and then rocketed back up into the clouds. The next this was the youngest Weasley falling from the clouds without her broom.
Dumbledore cried out, "Arresto Momentum!" and Ginny Weasley's fall slowed dramatically. However, that is when half the dementors that patrolled the grounds came rushing out from the clouds. Three moved towards the falling Gryffindor seeker, intending to finish their evil work. The rest spread throughout the stands and those students that remained there.
There was almost no time as Harry began hearing his mother's last moments alive, "Don't worry Little Harrison, Mommy will always love you. Now and forever," "For it is in passing that we achieve immortality. Through this, we…" "Not Harry! Please… have mercy… have mercy… Not Harry! Not Harry! Please… I'll do anything…,"
"Stand aside. Stand aside, girl! Avada Kedavra!" a man said.
"I will not allow you time to gain the power to vanquish me, child of prophecy…," the man snarled, "Avada Kedavra!"
"Harry… Harry?"
He heard a voice. It seemed to be coming from a great distance away, a voice he knew.
"We should get him to his bed, the hospital wing is too full for a simple case of magical exhaustion," the words came from their Head of House.
In no time at all, he was being floated in midair. "Remember you need to go and get me to rush to the match in order to save as many as we did. Otherwise, we will have to deal with the paradox.
"Right, Professor." Harry received a kiss on his cheek before he heard nothing from her again. A few minutes later he knew no more.
~HP-RWBY~
The match went down in history as one of the worse matches Hogwarts ever had. Eight students were nearly kissed and despite the few teachers that were able to cast the Dementor repelling charm, Expecto Patronum. It wasn't till a flash of silver light that came from the Ravenclaw stands that managed to kill nearly all of the dementors on the field that the crisis had ended. The dementors that were hit by the light, simply turn their bodies to ash and fell from the sky or disintegrating into piles of ash when they struck the ground.
Madam Bones and a few aurors were called to the school but found out that Black was sighted by the dementors on the grounds at the same time as the match. However, once on the grounds, half of the dementors left the pursuit, intending on feeding due to the positive feelings coming from the match.
The talk about what happened with Harry was passed over and soon Harry was shrouded in darkness.
~HP-RWBY~
Hermione was brought up to speed within the safety of Harry's trunk as he explained what he heard from his mother that night and what Tom Riddle said the night he lost his parents.
"I hear her, Hermione. Pleading for my life," Harry explained to a teary-eyed Hermione. "I don't think she really cared about her own life anymore, knowing that dad was just murdered already."
"But…" Hermione wept softly. "… why?
"I think my mom found and performed a ritual that night," Harry said, shocking Hermione. "She somehow performed it on me in order to save my life."
"Do you remember the ritual?"
"Only bits and pieces, I'm afraid," Harry sighed. "But every time I come into contact with those dementors I get a bit more."
Hermione bit her bottom lip and nodded to this. "You also react by sending out that silver light. Do you think that all of your abilities spring from your mother performing this… ritual on you?" Hermione asked.
"Possibly," Harry answered, racking is hand through his hair. He explained what he heard from both his mother and Riddle.
The two talked some more but ultimately life moved on. From the match on through to the Christmas break, the mood in the castle was grim, no pun intended. A few times, students even reported seeing the Legendary Grim, prowling the grounds at night which drove the mood in the castle even worse. Professor Trelawney's predictions got worse in each class Harry was forced to attend. And a few times they both were strongly considering walking out at it seemed to be nothing more than a waste of their time.
They found many of the unknown spells and rune crafts needed for their suit. Hermione even started using the term Crysis Suits due to the reason they wanted the suits to begin with. The fight in what could easily be the upcoming war with Voldemort and the forces of darkness.
When talks about leaving for the Christmas break began to get passed around. The two Ravenclaws did not know whether to stay or leave the castle and go home, something that was not a hardship before. In the end, they decided to stay in the castle. They wrote a letter to the Dan and Emma Grangers as to their plans and the why's.
During Christmas Day, Harry had received a few gifts from his friends and the Grangers, who Harry was beginning to look to as a family. The Grangers, with the help of Dobby, sent a handful of board games for them and their fellow housemates. There was also a gift that made both Harry and Hermione confused. The confusion was a brand new Firebolt. Despite Harry not playing quidditch nor did he fly all that much, he still received one as a Christmas gift from an unknown source. They could not detect anything malicious on the broom, nor did Dobby. Nonetheless, they called in their Head of House to have the broomstick looked over but even he did not find an offensive spell or jinx on the broom so Harry placed the broom within the trunk intending to keep it safe if for no other reason as to inspect the flight charms on the broom.
"Professor Flitwick?" Harry asked, getting their head of House attention as he was beginning to leave Harry's dorm.
"Yes, Mister Potter?"
"Miss Granger and I were wondering if it would be possible to seat for our OWL's at the end of the year?"
Surprised, the half Goblin-Wizard replied, "Do you feel that you are currently or will be ready for those exams?"
"Maybe not right now, we do not think. by the end of the year, we will each be ready."
Again, the professor was shocked but continued the conversation, "And have you completed your studies in the electives?"
"No, not all. We are sure that Divinations was a mistake taken. And Muggle studies is also a pointless subject. However, we'are unsure as to why there are not a Wizard Studies for Muggleborn or Muggle raised students. We have actually been working on Runes since the beginning of our first year and Arithmancy is surprisingly easy for Hermione and I. Care of Magical Creatures are a subject that is slightly challenging but we feel the books for that class will provide us with the needed answers for the exam minus the actual interaction with the creatures."
Flitwick took it all in and nodded at each point. "I see your point, Mister Potter. I will need to discuss this with Madam Marchbanks, but I don't see a problem with it if you are truly ready."
"Thank you, Professor."
The two were given a limited pass to the restricted section of the library by Flitwick and they used that pass with efficient and passionate use. This led to completing the list for their Crysis Suits and with their free use of the Time-Turner, allowed them to complete the suits prior to the mid-March Quidditch season and get ready for their OWL's, a full two years ahead of schedule.

During the Ravenclaw vs Gryffindor match, the Ravens managed to pull a slight win over the Gryffindor team due to Cho Chang's ability to catch the snitch over the Weasley girl and her new broom. This unfortunate loss placed the Gryffindor team out of the running for the Quidditch cup for the year. A Rumor was heard around the school was that their team leader, Wood, was heard crying in the showers as his hopes for a Quidditch cup trophy for his time as captain fell through the floor.
With the Quidditch cup coming down to Hufflepuff and Slytherin and seeing that Draco was going on-and-on about their win being in the bag. Harry chose to intercede for the betterment of the school and a small bit of vengeance. With the new broom checked out by their Head of House, Harry approached the Hufflepuff seeker and ask for a discreet word alone.
~HP-RWBY~
"Thanks, Mister Diggory," Harry said formally.
"Cedric," Diggory replied with a smile, Harry nodded.
"Cedric it is… Harry." Harry pointed to himself, Cedric nodded in reply.
Harry began, "Look, the finals are between Slytherin and Hufflepuff. For reasons I am not going to go into with you, I wish for Slytherin house to end Snape's covet over the cup. Every year the teams are beaten into submission by that team, so much that it has given them a rather large head. Well, since the Ravens are out as well as the Lions. I was hoping to give you an edge when dealing with them."
"What do you mean," asked Cedric.
"As the Slytherin team was gifted new brooms for each of their players last year. I wish to loan you one that would be equal to all of theirs combined."
Cedric just stared at Harry in disbelief. When Cedric did not say anything Harry continued, "I wish for you to use my Firebolt, Flitwick has completed his inspection of it will be ready for your next match."
"Why?"
"Because I want Draco to lose. I want Snape to not have that cup in his office to lord it over the other teachers. And a part of me wants to see Hufflepuff get some recognition in this school. For far too long I have seen Gryffindor and Slytherin tearing this school apart and none of the staff have prevented it." Cedric nodded; he too had seen this in his five years here as well. "Ravenclaw seeks knowledge but rarely apply it to helping the school or the problems within. Hufflepuff, your group are too passive and then gets labeled as a bunch of Duffers. By lending you my broom, I can make a large change in this school."
Diggory sighed, "But our plays won't work with a broomstick like yours. How are we to change that in the short time we have?"
Harry's smile widened and handed him a bunch of notes on tactics he had come up with in his free time. As the older yearman looked over the notes, he too began to smile widely.
"You can keep the plays, but nobody outside your team knows that I loaned you my broom until the day of the match, Deal?
"Deal," and the two shook.
The Hufflepuff vs Slytherin match was a complete slaughterhouse, 270 to 20. Inspired by their seeker using a Firebolt given to him by a friend. The Hufflepuff team showed the Slytherins that despite not being on Nimbus 2001's, the Slytherin team just plain sucked.
~HP-RWBY~
The next week, Hermione received a letter from Hagrid about Buckbeak losing the trial and stating that the execution date has not been set. Needless to say, Hermione was upset.
The next few months Harry and Hermione, with Flitwick's help, managed to find all other the needed spells and runic arrays that their suits required and were incorporated. During that Time Sirius managed to enter Gryffindor male dorms but wasn't caught. A word from Neville was that Ron's rat had gone missing shortly after the attack and bemoaning all cats inside of Hogwarts.
A week before the OWL exams, Hermione received a note from Hagrid, it read…
Lost appeal. They're going to execute at sunset. Nothing you can do. Don't come down. I don't want you to see it,"
Hagrid.
"I still want to go," Hermione said, turning to Harry.
Harry stared into her warm brown eyes and nodded, "I agree."
Looking over at their completed suits they decided to leave them behind and head out.
During their decent of the staircase they met up with Neville and told them of what was going down, and he agreed to accompany them.
Upon walking outside, they found Draco and two of his minions overlooking Hagrid's Hut and Buckbeak. Walking up behind the three they overheard Draco talking and the two snickering.
"Father said that I could keep the Hippogriff's head if I wanted. I think I'll donate it to the Gryffindor common room."
Harry saw the tightening of Neville's hands into a fist but before they could move Hermione was out of the doorway, her wand being pulled from her waist holster.
Harry followed suit and pulled his from his wrist holster and kept it low and ready. Neville was completely bewildered at the aggression.
"Looks who's here, ah come to see the show?" Draco smarmed.
"You… you foul, loathsome, evil little cockroach." And before everyone's eyes, Hermione had her wand to Draco's skinny little neck.
Harry eyed his two goons for the day, Goyle and Nott.
Like all bullies, Draco started to cry and whimper at the thought of being hexed by the smartest witch in the school. Of course, when Hermione lowered her wand, Draco began snickering at Hermione backing down. However, with some of Harry's basic hand combat training, she replied to the snickering with a well-placed right cross. Causing his head to ricochet off of the stone pillar. He would have fallen to the ground had it not been for the two goons grabbing him and racing off. However, with a departing word changed the game.
"You wait, you'll get yours. You and your Mudblood parents too!"
Harry's temper flared and cast the summoning charm on all of their clothes. The three Slytherins were pulled by the spell and flew backward, hitting the stone pillars again. Harry also stunned the other two in less than a second and moving up to the Blonde hair bully and Harry buried his fist into Draco's ribs, most likely breaking a few in the process. "You even think about attacking the Grangers and I promise you this here and now. I will end the Malfoy line forever."
He did not shout, which made it all that threatening to the child. Once Harry got his acknowledgment, Harry stunned him too and leaving them all to wake up on their own. Hermione and Harry continued on to Hagrid's hut. Neville with a bit of a grin, happily kicked Goyle in the side of his head for his little taunts in class, not that the chubby boy knew he was kicked though.
~HP-RWBY~
Their meeting with the Groundskeeper did not fare well either. Neville was handed a Rat that was in a poor state and told to return it to Ron Weasley and to tell the redhead to stop whining about his lost rat. After a few minutes, they were forced out the back as Ministry officials were seen walking towards the hut. Harry could clearly see Dumbledore and the Minister, Fudge. They also saw a man carrying a large two-handled ax with a wide blade on one side.
Stepping out the hut, they made their way behind the Pumpkin patch and left to the viewing point Draco was hiding at. However, when they reached the halfway point Harry heard the sound of spitting air and saw the ax-man come down with the ax.
At the same time, two things happened. Ron's rat bit Neville and raced off. Harry was going to summon the Rat back when a huge black dog barked and raced off after Neville and the Rat. Neither Hermione nor Harry reacted in time despite his powers. Neville, the Rat, and the black dog seem to have disappeared into a hole near the Whomping Willow-
With little choice, they tried getting to the whole. However, the tree was now actively working to hinder their progress.
With a few choice words. Harry scooped Hermione up and activated his speed power and with care, rushed the two into the hole. The next few minutes Hermione was re-tasting her food from earlier on.
When Hermione was done, Harry conjured a glass of water for Hermione and vanished to vomit. After another minute or two they moved down the passageway. Hermione also used a mouth cleaning and freshening charm to remove the after taste.
The passageway leads to a rickety building. From there they followed the path of disturbed dust until they reached a small bedroom where Neville was placed on a broken chair still holding the rat. Also, in the room was Professor Lupin and the escaped convict Sirius Black. Knowing something not right was going on Harry held-off activating his powers and blasting the two away, another thing was, Harry did not wish to inform Neville about his powers either.
The two were completely different. Sirius was agitated and Lupin was calm. Harry moved into the room all the while blocking Hermione as she went to look after Neville.
Lupin started it off, "You know, your father and I use to spend a lot of our time right here during our time at Hogwarts. Did you know that, Harry?"
Harry was taken back at the statement but answered with a, "No, I did not, why?" Harry noticed the rat in Neville's arms was getting more out of control, so Harry turned and fired a stunner at the rat to keep it from hurting Neville.
This shocked each of the adults in the room, even Black was taken back and was now calm at the sight of the studded rat.
"Well… this should make things easier for us all," said the Defence professor. "Harry, your father was one of my three best friends here at Hogwarts. He accepted me with my condition and even did something that helps those times to be some of the best times I have ever had here."
"You're talking about the fact that you are a werewolf, right?" Harry asked the older man.
"He's a what?" Neville squeaked out.
"Well… there goes that bloody secret," Sirius said loudly to Lupin.
"Sirius, I do believe we are looking at the smartest wizard to ever have come through Hogwarts who also stands by the smartest witch of her generation," Remus said giving a slight bow to the only Muggleborn in the room. Hermione blushed at the compliment.
"Anyways, your father, Sirius here, I and one other form a small group. We called the group, the Marauders. They found out about me…"
"Not that it was hard, Moony leaving every full moon from our dorm room," Sirius piped in.
"Thanks, Padfoot," Moony continued. "Continuing, they each did something so they could keep me company during my transformations."
"You all became Animagi," Hermione piped in cutting off the professor once again.
"Correct, Miss Granger. Ten points to Ravenclaw," Remus said and continued again. "Your dad became a stag so large it could stop me if I ever got out of hand. Sirius became…"
"A mutt…" Sirius quipped.
Remus sighed, "Yes, a big, black dog that could track me down or anyone we need too. The third member became a…"
"Rat!" Sirius snarled and now looking down at Ron's pet in Neville's arms.
"And here we explain the rat named Peter Pettigrew in Neville's hands is not a rat, but an Animagus and the one who truly betrayed your parents to Voldemort that night in October of 81," Remus stated.
"But why did Sirius get the bill, so do speak?" Harry asked.
"The rat framed me in an open market. He played one over on me and got me for the whole thing. Peter managed to cause an explosion and I got caught by the Ministry, while the little rat escaped," Black snarled.
"There wasn't a trial?" Hermione asked. "You know, to prove you were innocents?"
"No to both," Sirius answered.
"So, you escaped and managed to make your way here in order to do what, kill the rat? I know it wasn't to kill me as everyone has been going on about," Harry stated calmly.
"How did you know that, Harry?" Neville asked.
"Because, Neville, Sirius never made a play for me in the Ravenclaw dorms. However, although your revenge idea is kind of appealing, it lacks the consequences. For example, with Pettigrew dead and not alive to stand trial. Sirius will be forced to flee, continuing to be a wanted man by the ministry, forever. Now, if we force him to change back and escort him to the Chief Warlock as well as summon the head of the DMLE to place Pettigrew into custody. Sirius could very well walk free from this whole thing; he may even get a payout for his troubles."
"Really?" Sirius asked as the others paid closer attention to Harry.
Harry's explanation of what to do made the Marauders change their mind about killing the traitor. With the rat still stunned Remus cast the Animagus reversal spell and the rat morphed, changing into that of an older bolding man. It also caused the man to wake from the stunner. A second later, the man was stunned once again, this time in his human form. They were all getting ready to leave for the castle when something not foreseen happened. Snape entered under an invisibility cloak and cast an area-wide stunner hitting everyone in the room, including Harry.

When Harry regained concussions, he found himself tied up on the shores of the Black Lake. The temperature around him seem to be falling slightly all along with the voice of his mother could be heard in the back of his mind. Harry's eyes snapped open and he looked around. Instantly, he saw Sirius was also tied up. However, He found Remus was not tied up, instead, he was panting like he was short of breath. Quickly looking up Harry realized that there was a full moon tonight. Screwing up his face as at the moment he did not care if the two adults found out about his powers. Harry activated his armored form and the ropes holding him snapped like tissue paper.
Reaching over, Harry grabbed the robes holding Sirius and snapped them as well. Looking around Harry did not see either Hermione or Neville, so he placed himself between the now changing Moony and the slowly moving Padfoot.
Moony changed, however, he did not look like a typical werewolf. Instead, in front of Harry was a fully transformed large Eurasia Wolf and it howled.
Off to the side, Harry heard a quiet, "Shite."
Harry looked in the direction of the sound but didn't locate anyone. Then realization dawned on Harry, the person that was there was under an invisibility cloak or highly disillusioned. He also thought it more likely to be Snape.
Snape now knew that his plans for killing his childhood rival with his best friend were fouled by Lupin transforming into an actual wolf and not a werewolf as he had when they were kids in school. He also now knew about Potter's power the dark lard knew not and that Harry could change into metal and not the power of love like an old goat had once proclaimed.
~HP-RWBY~
The approaching cold had nothing to do with the Scottish seasons and had everything to do with the approaching hoard of Dementors that were heading in their direction and nether Moony nor Padfoot was in any shape to prevent them from descending. Harry turned to Moony and said, "There is nothing you can do for us. Run and get to safety, I'll protect Padfoot."
Moony was about to protest but a spell was fired by Snape and Remus hightailed it away. In the meantime, Harry shifted back to his normal form but activated his speed ability. Harry was about to sprint in the direction of the invisible person when a spell hit Harry in the back and Harry fell over stiff.
"Good work, Wormtail," the voice of Severus Snape was heard just before he removed an invisibility cloak.
"Snape," Wormtail acknowledging the grease git.
"Dumbledore overheard another prophecy that states you and you alone will be able to find the Dark Lord and return him to power. I will stay and oversee that these two are dealt with." Snape pulled from his robes a bone-white wand made of yew. "Take this to him. It was the only thing left in the Potter Cottage that wasn't damaged or junk."
Wormtail nodded, grabbed the bone-white wand, and ran off in the direction of the Hogwarts' ward boundary. After a minute, Harry heard a crack of Apparition, and Harry knew that catching the Rat was now lost.
Harry shifted his eyes to the Deadman standing before him. "You know, your father was troublesome as well. His corruption of my Lily in school could have been prevented had he known his place. The unfortunate part was that you lived while my Lily died. Nevertheless, I will correct the failure of my Lord and end the Potter line forever." Snape sneered. "Unfortunately, Dumbledore will know if I killed you. So, I will just let fate run its course."
As the Dementors neared them, Snape put on the cloak and disappeared. Harry tried and tried to get his eyes to do that silver flash but couldn't completely do it. As the Dementors closed in on the two, Harry finally recalled the complete memory of his last moments with his mother including the ritual Lily Potter performed allowing baby Harry to survive the deadliest curse known to wizardkind, Avada Kedavra.
Harry's eyes lit up with silver light, and for the shortest of moments, Harry thought he would be able to destroy all of the disgusting demons. Alas, Harry lost all strength and passed out once again, but not before seeing a second, stronger, flash of light coming from nearby.
~HP-RWBY~
Harry returned to consciousness within his trunk. He was laying on his bed while Hermione was standing at the foot of the bed. She was fully suited up with their Prototype Crysis Suit with her headgear retracted and her wand out.
"What happened," Harry asked still weary.
"Snape tried to kill you and Sirius using Professor Lupin's Werewolf form to do it. Once I came too in my trunk no less, I suited up and time looped back one hour. I found myself and was able to place my body and Neville under a Disillusionment Charm I put Neville somewhere safe and brought myself back to my trunk. Now, we have to perform a loop again."
The shock was written on Harry's face, "Again? Flitwick said we shouldn't time loop more than once."
With a worried sigh, Hermione sat down on the edge of the bed. "I think I saw another version of me and you, returning to the castle. And I assume that we will then be forced to deal with Snape."
"Yeah," Harry said looking down, anger boiling up within. "The git allowed Pettigrew to get away and have Sirius and myself kissed by dementors. He claimed Dumbledore heard a prophecy about Tom returning."
Hermione nodded.
"He also knows part of my secret, or at least my metal form," Harry added.
"Then we will need to go back again. This time memory charm Snape to prevent him from telling anyone.
"Or kill him," Harry stated flatly. Unlike Hermione, he wasn't too opposed to killing Snape. He was one of the worst human beings that he had ever met. He just did not want to have to do it at age thirteen.
It took him just shy of a half an hour for Harry to get dressed in his own Prototype Crysis Suit. The suit now charmed to managed all body waste, something Hermione found about from the Wards in Azkaban used for prisoners and a self-regulated body temperature charm Harry created that combined Warming and Cooling charms using Arithmancy. This allowed robes to be worn over the suit. They just look a bit bulkier than normal.
With both Hermione and Harry suited up, Hermione pulled their Time Turner out and within seconds they were gone from Harry's trunk.
~HP-RWBY~
Turning time was never meant for looping more than once. This was due to the complication of having to know where you were during each of the user's loops. A mistake in the user's plans would cause a paradox that would end in either the looper being erased from existence or a backlash within the plan of existence depending on the outside force interfering. But with Hermione and Harry's minds, they were able to make it down to the lake undetectable other than themselves.
They appeared still in Harry's trunk; Time turners never altered their location only time. But to turn time, they also needed to know that nobody was within that spot when they returned to normal time.
It did not take them long to get out of the castle and make it down to the lake.
The two watch from across the lake as Snape gave Peter a bone-white wand. Where the betrayer had quickly run off to escape.
"Can't we just grab Peter? I mean with these suits… it would be almost laughable," Hermione asked quietly. She still was not comfortable with some things like letting Pettigrew go or killing in general and Harry really like that about her.
It was true that with the suits' own power they could capture both the rat and the dungeon bat. Harry shook his head.
"No, Dumbledore told Snape about a prophecy that was heard, foretelling that Wormtail would find his Master and return him to power. If we stop him now, the rat will still be able to escape somehow, only it could be far worse. However, we can prevent that one from returning to the Dark Lord's service," Harry said pointing towards Snape.
"You're talking about killing him, aren't you?" Hermione asked softly.
Harry nodded in his helmet.
"But doesn't Snape work for Dumbledore, and… won't we get in trouble if we kill him?"
"Do you think Snape is only pretending to be evil? He allows Pettigrew to escape, all along having Sirius and I be kissed by dementors?" Harry asked, rhetorically. "Perhaps, I just think Snape is on neither Dumbledore nor Voldemort side. No, I truly think Snape is in it for himself and uses both the Headmaster and Riddle to come out ahead of everyone else. Dumbledore keeps him around to do the old man's dirty work and I wonder if Riddle initially wanted him here at Hogwarts." 'He also likes killing an innocent man to protect a lie the old man probably started," Harry thought.
Let out a sigh, Harry said, "Then again, we could let out some more rope for the man to hang himself later."
After a pause, he continued, "Also, we are kind of doing the same, letting Wormtail leave without us hindering him."
Hermione smiled weakly. Snape was that much of a monster that sooner or later, the Potion Master would have to be put down. She just didn't want Harry or herself to be the one to do it.
As Hermione's internal thoughts ran through Snape's eventual downfall, Harry was researching in his mind each and every time he had used that silver-eyed power, each time, it was part desperation to stay alive and part wanting those things gone. With the latest time, he wanted to activate the power willingly. He had but it was not as powerful as he wanted it to be, and then he figured it out. He now knew how to use it. That what the flash thing just before he passing out before was. So, he just needed the right time to do it.
Hermione, I know how to stop those dementors. I need you to find Snape and obliviate him of my powers and whatever you feel he needs to forget. Make him think he returned us to the school. Then come back and get me, ok?"
She nodded activating her own suit cloak and moved off. Harry knew he could not use the suit with his silver-eyes power, so he kept his hood retracted.
After a few moments, they saw Pettigrew run off and heard the sound of Disapparation from Peter. Then the cold feel of the dementors washed over them. Harry saw Snape hide under his cloak and move off.
Harry readied himself for the flash and when it happened, he saw many of the dementors turn to ash and fall to the ground. There was a screech, something he didn't hear before and more than a hundred attacked, intending to kill the one who hurt them.
Harry moved forward bringing them all into view. Feeling almost happy desperation that he needed to rid them all of the foul beings that live for the suffering and death of others. Harry's eye blazed with silver intensity and they flashed brightly, brighter than the midday sun and well over a hundred and fifty dementors, almost seventy-five percent of the dementor population of the world, turned to ash, screaming as their body dissolved into ash from the pain of the light… and Harry Potter knew no more.
~HP-RWBY~
When Harry returned to consciousness, he was hearing Minister Fudge and Professor Snape talking. He also wasn't in his suit, which meant Hermione had removed it. He blushed a bit as the suit did not actually have room for clothes underneath the suit. He listened in on the conversation.
"… shocking… miracle none of you died… never heard the like… by thunder, it was lucky you were there, Snape…"
"Thank you, Minister."
"Order of Merlin, Second Class, I'd say. First Class, if I can wangle it!"
Harry wondered what part of the story was told before now.
"Thank you very much indeed, Minister."
"It's a pity Black escaped."
Snape's sneer, was heard as well as his confused, "yes."
"Nasty cut you've got there… Black's work, I suppose?"
"As a matter of fact, it was Potter and Granger, Minister…" Snape sneered.
"No!"
"Black had bewitched them; I saw it immediately. A Confundus Charm, judging by their behavior. They seemed to think there was a possibility he was innocent."
"They weren't responsible for their actions. On the other hand, their interference permitted Black to escape… They obviously thought they were going to catch Black single-handed. From what I hear, they have got away with a great deal before now… I'm afraid it's given them a rather high opinion of themselves… and of course, Potter has always been allowed an extraordinary amount of license by the headmaster."
"Yes…" Snape drawl.
Harry opened his eyes to see the two moving out of the hospitable wing. Turning his head back he saw Neville in a bed asleep and Hermione in the corner of the room, semi-transparent. Notice-me-not or selective disillusionment?
As the two were out, Hermione moved over to him he asked, "Sirius?"
"Escaped on Buckbeak," she replied with a smile.
"Snape?"
"Obliviation, Confundus and Compulsion charms," she answered, matter-of-factly, looking at her nails for any dirt. Harry snickered softly. "He'll think he fought off the dementors and saved us all but couldn't stop Sirius from escaping on the self-freed Buckbeak."
"That would do it," Harry chuckled. "Now what?"
"You'll spend the night here and Sirius will get in touch with us during the summer. We will be leaving for home in a few days so there is nothing left for school. Sirius apparently has a home hidden in London, but he needs to check it out before we can go there."
"That would be nice," Harry smiled and closed his eyes once more. The last thing Harry remember was soft lips on his forehead before sleep overtook him.
~HP-RWBY~
The next day, there were a few rumors going around, the first was Snape's was seen as a hero to a few as the news of his hard-fought battle to save a few ignorant students from having their souls being removed by the dementors. The second was that the defense instructor was a Werewolf and it was only a matter of time before he was forced to leave. And the last one was the near capture of the criminal Sirius Black who escaped on the condemned Hippogriff named, Buckbeak.
All rumors seem to have originated from the Slytherin house.
Harry and Hermione talked to Remus about staying on as defense as he was the best instructor they had yet, but when Dumbledore arrival he left with his tail between his legs.
Harry wondered if he would ever see him again since it took the man twelve years to see his best friend's son. Harry was a bit disappointed, but he still had the Grangers, and now he had Sirius if for a short time.
The following week, with Professor Flitwick's help, they took their OWL's exams, two years in advance. At first, the instructors didn't understand why they had two third-year students in the testing, it was explained that they were very advanced, and he felt they could pass them now. They took the exam minus Divination. The written exam seemed fairly easy with their memory recall and Occlumency learning. The practical was a bit more power-intensive due to their age but were able to pass them as well.
During the leaving feast, Ravenclaw took the House cup due to shear points gathered and despite Hufflepuff getting the Quidditch Cup. Harry
Harry received his broom back from Cedric and the two were packed within his trunk. Hermione handed back the Time-Turner to Flitwick along with a booklet of discrepancies with the Muggle Studies course. What professors chose to do with the information was anybody's guess.
With everything packed minus their morning clothes. Harry asked Hermione if she would like to have the ritual performed on her. She didn't answer immediately but asked if they could talk it over with her parents, which, Harry had no problem with.
Their return trip to King's Cross was quiet. Talks about their planned vacation with the most trusted friends were talked about. Susan explained about the Quidditch World Cup was coming to England this summer and that her aunty would be working on the security there and that she would be staying with Hannah for most of the summer. Neville would be working in his gardens trying to make up for any problem and that he most likely not be attending the World Cup.
Harry explained that he wanted to visit his parents and travel around the UK. He didn't explain that most of the summer would be with his godfather or the ritual he may or may not be performing on his closest friend.
~HP-RWBY~
The Granger's stood near the platform 4 of Kings Cross Station. Heading out to their home via the railway.
Later that night, Harry and Hermione explained their new suit the two were able to create and the different functions they currently have. Harry further explained the ritual that was performed on Harry as a baby and the various powers Harry had access to currently. They Granger discussed the option of performing a ritual that was on performed Harry for Hermione. Dan and Emma asked if they could sleep on it. The two students didn't have a problem with that. Harry also didn't know if Hermione would be given the same power set, or if it was something unique to each person.
The next morning during a late breakfast by Dobby. The older Granger allowed Harry to perform the ritual only if Hermione truly wanted to have it done.
The next weekend, in a damaged bedroom in Godric's Hollow, a ritual was performed for the second time. As the thirteen-year-old Hermione Granger opened her eyes. A new door had been opened as her golden eyes turn to a lighter version of her brown ones.
