The Green-eyed Devil's Boot Camp

The months came and went with Blaise, Neville, the twins and Severus all close to tears. They had started training with Harry Potter who by now had earned the name the Green-eyed Devil from all of them. The boy was relentless! He had managed to find an alarm-clock charm that woke them all up effectively at five am. He then proceeded to have Severus take a De-Aging potion for the duration of their time together, he made them run laps around the lake for a half hour summoning snakes to chase after them. Blaise still had nightmares about the anaconda. He would them put them through more gruelling physical conditioning in the forms of push-ups and crunches. After that came an hour of chakra exercises, which they all admittedly enjoyed. The only consolation they had was that Harry pushed himself twice as hard as everybody else.

They worked long and hard rain or shine to learn what Harry had to teach them. He had even gone the extra mile and sought and found Tai-jutsu styles that fit each of them personally. He and Severus practiced Snake-style Kung fu and Tai-chi. The twins sought no end amounts of amusement out of that. Neville had found that he was best suited for Jui-jutsu and Blaise and the twins practiced Krav Maga. Harry also started Neville on the Basics of the Senju Family Tai-jutsu while he practiced Uchiha interceptor style on his own. Neville found he was steadily losing weight and the others found that the exercise was helping to tone their bodies and feel more energized in a way they never had been.

They had all complained when Harry had taken over the menu for foods they could eat as well, but relented when he explained why he had overhauled the menu. If they were going to get the maximum benefit from what they were doing they would have to eat right as well. Severus was pleased to find that in eating healthier his unhealthy pallour was all but gone and his hair was no longer as greasy. He was doubly pleased by the fact that his older body retained the changes his younger one was making. He had already needed to get some of his robes refitted to account for his unintentional buffing up. The twins met with him twice a week to work on Occlumency as set up by Harry. He was pleased to note that the boys were much smarter than everyone gave them credit for, he almost wished they belonged to his house.

The weather was colder now and Harry met with the squad he was training in an empty classroom and wondered how it escalated to this point.

'Oh yeah I'm a bloody bleeding heart with a prophecy hanging over my head.' He mocked to himself.

"Ok guys, we are coming up on Christmas break and I am going to hand out schedules for you to do. Over break, the only things I want you to maintain are your diets and your running. After break, we will start on weapons training or Bo-Jutsu, I already have set up a course in a secluded spot on the grounds. We will also commence group sparring sessions and talk about animagus forms. Neville, Blaise I need to speak with you the rest of you are dismissed. The others filed out as Neville and Blaise remained behind.

"What did you want to talk about Harry?" Neville asked, he had grown bolder under Harry's guidance.

"Neville do you remember what I said to you after the troll incident?"

"Mostly yes, why?"

"You need to go to Gringotts over break and claim that inheritance, it is exceedingly important." He said as Neville nodded already making plans.

"Blaise," Harry said as he turned to the dark skinned italian. "You should probably go ask for an inheritance test as well. Not only would you find out who your father is you might actually have a family estate in another name that your mother does not know about. Trust me if it's in your heritage the Goblins will find it." Blaise nodded a calculating look in his eyes.

Severus strode back to his quarters parchment in hand, in his mind he was wondering what had happened to him that he was taking orders from a boy, Potter of all people. He wasn't sure what to make of it really, he did acknowledge the fact though that the boy had a good mind for strategic thinking. As he passed into the common room he was greeted with screaming. His thoughts flew from his mind as he darted forward, only to stop outside of Potter's dorm room where a crowd had gathered around a pissed off snake and a slowly purpling Christopher Warrington.

Harry was sitting at the lunch table when a summons came from his Head of House and the Headmaster. Glancing at the head table he nodded signaling that he would appear after lunch. A half hour later he stood in front of a stone Gargoyle giving it a password.

"Bloodpops." The Gargoyle leapt aside and he walked up the rotating stairs.

Knocking on the door he was asked to come in. He stepped into the headmasters office and glanced around noting exits and potential weapons. A pheonix rested by the open window and trilled softly in greeting. His head of House was there with the head master along with a terrarium sitting upon the desk. The only thing going through his mind was 'Oh shit.'

"Please have a seat Mr. Potter." Dumbledore said seriously.

"It was brought to my attention today that your have violated the school rules by bringing an unauthorized pet and a dangerous one at that onto school grounds. We are currently up here because it has attacked a student."

"He's a he not an it Headmaster." Harry said with venom in his voice. "His name is Syzael Apporo and would not attack anyone unless provoked."

"Regardless, he should not be here in the first place. Mr. Potter."

"He is my true familiar." Harry simply stated, gaining a look of incredulity from his head of house.

"Really? Would you let me confirm that then?" Dumbledore said frowning. Harry nodded and Dumbledore cast the incantation to test the bond. The bond between Syzael and Harry flared a brilliant emerald color the same as Harry's magic. A paler thread of magic flowed down to the owlery."

"Two familiars, Holy Circe." Severus mumbled.

"It seems you are correct my dear child, however I cannot allow his actions to go unpunished." Dumbledore said.

"Who did he bite in the first place?" Harry asked.

"Cristopher Warrington was found just outside of your room with Syzael on his chest." Severus answered.

"What was he doing in my room then? Or did either of you even ask?" Harry said hotly as Fawkes flew over to him trilling softly. The pheonix landed in his lap and settled down comfortably. He stroked the birds soft back feathers and Dumbledore relaxed a little.

"No we have not questioned young Mr. Warrington yet however…"

"Then you need to find out because like I said Syzael will not and has never attacked anyone without provocation. I should know since I am connected to him intimately."

Dumbledore sighed with a hint of anger hidden in his eyes, Severus just looked bored.

"Shall I find out for you so you can see it?" Harry asked.

"What do you mean, Harry?" Dumbledore asked.

"Like I said Syzael and I are connected I can see his memories, sort of like leglimency, then you can view it in your pensive." Harry said indicating the stone basin in the corner. Dumbledore looked put out but nodded anyway. Harry patted Fawkes one last time and the bird flew back to his perch.

§Sssyzaell come out pleassse.§ Harry hissed gently. Syzaell poke his head out from under the rock he was hiding under and slithered over to Harry. Harry deftly reached in the terrarrium and let Syzael climb up towards his head. The other two people looked on fascinated and disgusted by the display respectively.

§Harry sssnakeling you are back, the other twoleggssss tried to kill me today. I had to bite him.§ the snake hissed excitedly bobbing it's head up and down infront of Harry. Fawkes trilled his laughter from the corner at Harry and his companion.

§ I need you to give me the memory Ssssyzaell I need to sssshow the head twoleggsss what happened. § he hissed. Syzaell bobbed his head and stuck his against Harry's forehead sharing the images of what happened in a flurry. He finally backed off and let Harry sort through the images and put them into a coherent sequence. Motioning that he was ready, Severus brought the pensive over. Dumbledore extracted the memory from Harry and placed it within. Syzaell tucked himself under Harry's collar on his robe to keep warm as the two teachers observed the memory.

~Syzaell's Memory~

He was warm and content sunning himself on the desk in Harry's room. Harry had been kind enough to place a warming charm on his furniture and the floor. The snakes on the walls were fun to talk to as well. As he lay there his mind wandering he heard the door open.

"Well, well let's see what the baby mudblood is hiding in here?" he heard.

His tongue darted out tasting the air, that wasn't Harry's scent it was an unknown two leggs. It tasted evil instead of the comforting smell of woods. A rustling sound caused Syzael to turn and face the threat to his snakeling. The two leggs was rifling through Harry's box. Syzaell got pissed and hissed menacingly.

§Back Off!§

The older two leggs stopped and turned to face him before smiling. He hissed again.

§ I'M WARNING YOU TWO LEGGSSSS!§

"Oh you will do nicely." It spoke moving towards him. He reared up trying to intimidate the two leggs who was defiling his snakelings things. It brought out a stick like the one his Snakeling used.

"Diffindo" a burst of blue light and Syzaell dodged to the side hissing menacingly in anger. "Diffindo, Diffindo. Reducto!" Syzaell dodged for all he was worth and launched himself at the attacker two leggs avoiding the red light. He landed on the two leggs and it screamed, thrashing around. So he did what any halfway sane snake would he bit him and held on for dear life.

~Memory end~

They came out of the pensive unsteadily to find Harry, Fawkes and Syzaell and the sorting hat apparently in the middle of a game of Poker.

"Hey that's cheating get that card out from under your wing." Harry cried

Fawkes trilled abashedly and opened his wing letting the card an Ace of hearts fall out. Syzaell hissed something that made Harry and the sorting hat laugh. A pile of chocolate frogs was the pot. The two teachers cleared their throats not knowing what to make of the scene in front of them. Harry looked up.

"Oh your back," was all he said before turning to the others. "Ok, show em boys."

"Two pair"

"Warble" (three of a kind)

§ three of a kind I fold.§

"Read em and weep Royal flush" Harry grinned showing his cards. The others grumbled as he pulled the frogs towards him, he collected the cards and put the candy away.

"Well Harry after seeing that I can safely say that only the minimal punishment shall be doled out for your familiars actions. There will be one night after Holiday break where you will be required to serve detention. I shall let you know when, please do try to keep…Syzaell from causing anymore problems please. Dismissed." Dumbledore said uncomfortably like he had swallowed something sour. Severus just stood staring at the spot where a hat, a snake a pheonix and a boy had all played poker unable to make up his mind whether that was real or not.

Harry gathered up his winnings smiled at the other two leaving two frogs for them and left the room with Syzaell.

"Headmaster did you see that too?" Severus finally managed to break his stupor and gasp out.

"H how…" he started when Dumbledore cut him off.

"I don't know Severus and I don't ever want to know, my brain would probably explode with the effort." Dumbledore responded.

"It was magic Severus. How else can you explain it?" The sorting hat spoke up levitating a frog over to itself. Fawkes glared and trilled at it and the sorting hat stuck it's tag out at the pheonix who was chowing down on his own frog.

Christmas came and went without much fanfare for Harry, he got a few presents from the twins, Neville and Blaise. He also got a package from an un-named source, i.e. Dumbledore if the handwriting was anything to go by. He had sent out for and had gotten, for his squad. A standard martial arts uniform, both child and grown sized for Severus and for the rest of them. He had also gotten the goblins to make a brace of enchanted shuriken, kunai and senbon for them as well. They were enchanted to return when thrown and never dull. They cost a small fortune in galleons but were totally worth it.

From Blaise he got several tactics and duelling books, Neville had gotten him a mokeskin pouch and a broom (Nimbus 2000). The twins had made him a variety of prank products that he would definitely put to good use. The biggest surprise he had gotten though was from Severus, Severus had given him a compendium of known poisons and antidotes and how to make them. Harry was happy now with how the upper years seemed to give him wide berth. The mess with Warrington allowed for Harry to develop a sort of exclusisve atmosphere when it came to his dorm room. Nobody even complained when he brought the Weasley twins to his room.

The only thing of note that happened was the strange Mirror he had come across. He had been in the library walking and looking at a book on Runes when he stumbled and fell through a doorway. Picking himself up he looked around seeing that the room was empty besides an ornate mirror in the center of it. Stepping in front of the mirror, he was surprised to see not just himself but a crowd of people. Some he had seen like his little clique of Friends, the rest he hadn't, there were two people he was sure were his parents, an older boy in a solid black outfit with the Uchiha crest. An effemate boy who had long hair and grey eyes. A blonde with blue eyes six whiskers and a big grin on his face. Finally was the one that really caught his attention. She was a little shorter than he and wore a fishnet top, a mini skirt and trench coat with a Kunai in her hand. Her purple hair was spiked up in the back and her caramel eyes seemed to smile at him. He felt his heart start to beat faster as he looked at the image. His reflective mother palmed her face at his blush as His father poked another dark haired man and pointed at him. The man looked and elbowed a shaggier man who turned and looked as well they all seemed to laugh.

So Harry did what any self respecting eleven year old would when faced with that. He stuck out his tongue prompting another round of silent laughter. He smiled wistfully and kissed the mirror on his mothers cheek and placed his hand against his fathers. Filing the image away for the rest of his life to look at in secret, he turned and finally walked away.

Soon enough Neville and Blaise returned to the school and his group was complete once again. It was a motivated group that met the first weekend back in January.

Harry had bade them all to bring their christmas gifts and meet in their normal room.

"Ok guys I hope you understand what these are for." He smiled at them.

"Did any of you have a break through over the holidays?"

Severus nodded, as did the twins. Blaise smiled a secretive smile and Neville beamed. Harry smiled right back at them.

"Good I'm glad everyone has been practicing, today we will be learning to combine chakra with our physical exercise in order to give ourselves a boost, from there we shall break into groups for sparring before finally learning the mechanics of the next chakra control exercise. Any comments?" a moment of silence, "Well let's get started then."

Harry showed them how to change into their gear and then they walked outside into the cold air under the cover of darkness. Casting warming charms on themselves, they went about their daily warm up.

An hour later they trooped back inside to the classroom. After Severus cast cushioning charms on the side and back walls and floor they started the chakra exercises. Severus and Neville were the first to get the exercise, the twins had great fun getting blown off the wall. Blaise took a more calculated approach and laid on the floor and channeled chakra till he stuck.

Severus surprised everyone by laughing out loud as he ran back and forth on the ceiling for once letting go of the evil teacher act. Dropping to the ground in his younger body he grinned at Harry.

"Now I can actually act the part of an over grown bat!" he said seriously as his mask fell back into place. Harry grinned as the others stopped in their tracks.

"Did Professor,"

"Snape actually just make,"

"A joke?" the twins alternated asking. Grinning Harry nodded, the twins took one look at each other and fainted dead away on the spot. Harry and Blaise laughed out loud while Neville giggled. Severus just rolled his eyes, and grumbled to himself.

"I'm human too, bloody Weasleys."

Harry just smiled knowingly. He blasted the twins with an Aquamenti and woke them before passing out several scrolls that he had taken the time to write out over the holidays.

"These are different ninja arts from the forbidden continent that I can give you the basics on according to the memories of my ancestors. I have already started my particular line of study. Pick one and I will do what I can to write any knowledge I might possess on the arts. Severus I picked this one especially because I feel it will appeal to you considering." He said handing him a scroll.

"The art of Gen-Jutsu? What does that mean?"

"The Art of Illusion, that is both physically and mentally damaging, It allows you to freely attack your opponent while you have them captured inside of an illusion." Harry said appealing to his head of house's twisted humor. The grin the man ended up with would curl the hair of McGonogall and scare first years for years to come. Harry had some scrolls that were gifted to Madara from the Uzumaki clan, that he copied for the twins with a hunch that they would make good use of the art. Harry himself had fallen in love with it. Neville had gotten a scroll on the basics of Nin-jutsu and a an Iryo-Jutsu scroll (Medi-ninjutsu). To Blaise he gave an Iryo-Jutsu scroll and a Human anatomy book. He also got a scroll on poisons and their uses.

"Ok we will meet back here in a week for a review and see where everyone is. Tomorrow is sparring practice and bo-jutsu so come prepared."

It went on like this for the next several weeks with Harry again earning his nick name thrice over. It went swimmingly until the day Harry was called for his detention.

11:00 p.m. Saw a very pissed of Harry Potter meeting one Ronald Weasley, Draco Malfoy and Hermione Granger in the enterance hall.

"Hey Potter! Why are you here your damned traitor." Ron shot off at the mouth, earning a one fingered salute from Harry. Draco looked smug as he rounded on the black haired boy as well.

"The stupid Half-blood probably showed off to the wrong person. Didn't you know Weasley that without books these two are worthless."

"If you say so Bad Faith." Harry answered, causing the frowning form of Hermione Granger to smile."

Filtch chose that moment to appear and lecture them as he ushered them down towards Hagrids. Haary frowned and let his eyes flicker over the sky checking the phase of the moon. Breathing an internal sigh of relief when he saw it was a new moon. He heard Draco complaining about werewolves as they got closer. He channeled chakra to his eyes allowing his eyes to grow sharper and let loose on his chakra allowing it to surround him as they were charged with finding an injured Unicorn.

They divided into pairs Draco and he with the cowardly boarhound fang and Granger and Weasley with Hagrid. Pulling out his wand he did a point me spell and trailed the injured Unicorn into the woods with two cowardly dogs behind him. He quickly came upon the injured animal and saw immediately that he had no chance of saving the downed creature, it had lost to much blood already. Draco fainted dead away at the sight and Harry bade Fang to stay with the troublesome blonde. Walking slowly over to the pure creature he knealt by it and offered his hand.

"Would you like me to help you on your way oh great one?" he asked softly. The unicorn whinied softly butting it's nose against his hand and whuffing into it. Harry smiled a sad smile and conjured a knife. Lifting the poor creatures head onto his lap he let the tears that had been building up fall. The Unicorn whinied at him again before glowing and allowing it's horn to drop off in his hand, it tossed it's head weakly to the blood on it's side and Harry understood pulling out a vial and collecting some of the silvery substance. He smiled sadly and brought the knife to it's neck plunging it to the hilt up under its head where it pierced the brain ending it's life swiftly. It gave one final shuddering breath as Harry bowed his head in grief for the life that ended, he sat there after removing the knife allowing blood to pool next to him as his tears fell.

Draco watched in awe from where he had gotten up, due to Hagrid's beast slobbering on him. He had never seen something so sad and beautiful in his life, staying stock still he didn't even realize his own tears from the scene. He watched Harry abruptly stand and look around tucking the freely given horn and blood away. He moved swiftly and cautiously away from the corpse as some thing sprang from the bushes attacking him. It bowled him over and tried to get a grip on him but he fought it off before running back to Draco. Reaching the boy he shoved the blonde forward and whispered desperately.

"Run!" before turning back to the creature. Draco did as told sending up sparks along the way. Halfway back he ran into Hagrid and sent him off to get Harry.

Harry was in a fight for his life as he fought desperately to gain the upper hand. He had succeeded in catching the enemy off guard with a Kawarimi and a Katon jutsu. He had now pulled out his wand and was sending every curse he had read about at the abomination before him. However it's cloaked form seemed to absorb the ambient magic from the spells dissipating them before they hit. Galloping could be heard and suddenly a centaur jumped into the clearing driving the thing away, allowing Harry to relax a little. The Centaur turned back to him and looked him in the eye.

"Harry Potter, the stars speak many things of you. I must say I am impressed, you have done a deed no one should ever bear tonight. The stars have written that you shall change the world. Be it for the better or for the worse has yet to be seen. Choose your friends wisely Mr. Potter, for evil is a foot both in this forest and in the castle yonder. Games are being played, now are you a pawn on the board or are you a player controlling the pieces." The centaur paused for a minute before saying. "Come we must get you back to Hagrid, friend. Can you ride?"

"No but I never would sully your honor in that way either Master Centaur, please lead though I guarantee I will keep up." Harry replied with a polite bow. The Centaur smiled flicking his tail.

"Very well then." The centaur took off through the forest with Harry following closely after with his Chakra enhanced speed. He darted from tree to tree like a squirrel as the centaur led him back to the group. Finally they came to a stop as the centaur met with Hagrid and the other three. Harry dropped from the tree surprising them before waving off their questions. They walked out of the forest, Harry made it as far as Hagrids hut before passing out.

Sharp green eyes snapped open in the dark of the Hospital wing. Harry reached around to the bedside table for his wand and found it. He cast tempus and it registered around three in the morning. He groaned and sat up in the bed before feeling something poke him in the side. He pulled the unicorn horn and vial of blood from his belt pouch. He smiled sadly as he held them in the dark the horn luminesent with the unicorns remaining magic. He set them down and pulled the mokeskin pouch Madara had left him from around his neck. He fumbled with it for a minute before getting it open. He picked up the vial and placed it carefully inside after casting an unbreakable and stasis charm on the vial. The horn came next but as Harry was about to place it inside his hand slipped and he gasped as he cut himself deeply with the sharp horn. Wincing he removed the Horn from his hand where it had stabbed him. The horn came loose with a squelching pop and a bright flash of magic.

Placing the horn in the bag Harry examined his hand to find a silvery seven pointed star in between his thumb and forefinger with no wound anywhere. He sighed in relief as he replaced the pouch, before he fell back into dreamland. He awoke again to the sound of someone bustling around and a feeling of immense hunger. He sat up slowly and peered around the now brightly lit infirmary. Madame Pomfrey came over and set about examining him. She took a look at his eyes and gasped.

"It's happened again, you have another of those dot thingies in each of your eyes."

"It's ok Madame Pomfrey I know what it is, it's a good thing."

"Well if you're sure." She said uncertainly. Harry gave her an encouraging smile and looked her directly in the eyes.

"I'm sure and so are you." He said lacing his voice with magic and chakra. She nodded slowly and blankly. Harry broke eye contact with her and she blinked in confusion.

"So you said I can go then?" Harry said taking advantage of her momentary confusion as the compulsion settled.

"Yes you may Mr. Potter, and I'd better not see you for the rest of the year." She said primly ushering the grinning boy out into the castle.

Harry made his way back to the common room in a melancholy mood unaware of the grey eyes that watched his every move.

A.N. Ok finished finally.
