September 1st, Harry and Matt were standing in the shadows leaning against the wall, they watched as children and teens ran back and forth talking to parents and friends, moving luggage back and forth to the train, and in the case of younger children and 1 lanky redhead, last minute grooming from parents.

Matt was not going to ride the train but was simply there to keep Harry Company until it left, Harry already had his compartment warded and locked so that no one could get in.

"You should socialise a bit you know" Matt started

"I would but these people all look so irritating, plus I like standing here, it lets me watch their characteristics" he replied

"You'll enjoy your time here a lot more if you make friends"

"Oh I'll make friends, but not until I can be bothered with them, my plan is to let Dumbledore announce me at the feast give it a month or so until people are used to me and the 'oh my god, it's Harry Potter' factor has worn out"

Matt huffed "Fine"

hr

Matt left just after the train had pulled round the corner and headed right to Hogsmeade where he spent a lot of time in the pub chatting up Madam Rosmerta.

Harry however sat with his feet up on the opposite chair. He was dressed all in black as usual, black jeans with a skin tight black t-shirt, a zip up hoodie which was unzipped showing his intimidating physique and a black beanie pulled just about over his eyes. He held around his waist his most prized possession. His sword. This sword was said to a have been wielded by Dracula, right down the length of the blade runes were inscribed to the tip, he also had many daggers a potions pouch filled with various concoctions his whole appearance was designed to intimidate and basically look cool.

Harry watched as various people walked past the door trying to open it to greet him but not once did he release the locking charm, over 30 people tried and many stood outside the door trying various charms and hexes to get in. After about an hour of constant abuse he released the charm and allowed in 5 of the teens that had been trying to get through the charms. Once they were in he used different charm which allowed the door to be opened from the inside but not the outside.

With the door open a bushy haired witch entered followed by the tall lanky red head who Harry had watched on the platform, a smaller redheaded girl, a girl with bubblegum pink hair cut into short spikes and a round faced boy who looked slightly nervous.

Can I help you?

"Hi I'm Hermione Granger, this is Ron and Ginny Weasley , Tonks, just Tonks and Neville Longbottom, we just wanted to introduce ourselves"

"Great I'm Harry Potter. Bye Bye" he indicated the door but soon realised they were all standing with their mouths agape.

He instantly conjured up a bunch of flies and flew a bunch into each of the mouths, he watched in satisfaction as each began to splutter and the brown haired bushy haired witch began to instantly question him remarkably without stopping for breath.

"are you really the Harry Potter? How did you vanquish the You-Know-Who? Where did you disappear to? Why did you go? What have you been doing? What do you have a sword for?"

Harry listened as the questions kept pouring. After About five minutes he stopped her. "Look I don't know you, I don't trust you and you ask to many questions, I'm not answering any of them because i really don't want to and you will be leaving now"

He lifted he up from behind grasping under her arms he took her to the door, opened it, put her just outside of it and closed it again. Looking out of the window her barely contained a laugh at the look of indignation on her face.

Hey, you cant do that you don't own this compartment, i don't care if you are Harry Bloody Pott..." that was as far as Ron got before he too was picked up and placed outside.

"Are the always like that?"

"yeah. Only they usually argue with each other, they don't get on so well I'm surprised he defended her to be honest" the bubblegum pink haired witch said

"yeah, well they can bloody well keep away from me if that's what their going to be doing all the time"

"I'm Tonks" she said and held out her hand nervously

"I'm Harry, pleased to meet you"

"What made you come to Hogwarts?" she asked timidly

"Oh I heard the make the best treacle tart in the world and I just had to have some"

Again their mouths dropped open and flies were inserted

"Will you stop that!" the remaining redhead squeeled

"Oh that is not a noise I like" and again her removed another occupant of the room

"Now do I have to do that to you two?"

Neville quickly shook his head and Tonks slowly shook hers.

Just then the door started to groan and squeaked as a pale blonde boy tried to brute force his way in. "Who's that?"

"Draco Malfoy" Neville spat as Tonks glared daggers at the pale boy

"Oh good I was Hoping to meet him!"

Both occupants eyes widened as he opened the door and let Malfoy in

"I was told Harry Potter was in this compartment, I'm guessing that's you he said looking at Harry"

"That would be me" he replied

"Draco Malfoy" he said extending his hand

"You could do well if you hang around with the right sorts"

"Oh and are you willing to help me?"

"absolutely" he said flashing a smile

"great you keep all the people like you away from and you stay at least 20 feet away from me at all times, you filthy pureblood" he said emphasising the 'filthy'

He began to sputter as harry threw him and his goons from the compartment

"My farther..."

"Will be dead by the end of the year, I would be careful if you don't want to join him"

Malfoy paled as the door was slammed in his face

hr

Harry was standing with the first years waiting to be sorted, he was highly amused by some of the ideas the first years had come up with for being sorted, everything from a 24 test to duelling with Dumbledore.

"The sorting will now begin" McGonagall spoke

"Mr potter is all the weaponry really appropriate ?" professor McGonagall scolded

"yes" he said seriously, it had taking him 20 minutes to fit his weapon around his uniform and he had to make a new bow and find somewhere to put that, though he would probably just sling it over his shoulder.

"It is not part of the uniform Mr Potter and must be removed, no student can carry a weapon"

"Well then you best take everybody's wands from them then otherwise I'm staying armed"

"I will be speaking with the headmaster about this"

He gave her a non-committable shrug of his shoulders

As the group entered and the sorting began with a song

i'll come back and add a song later, i'm very tired and not at my best at the minute

As the group whittled down until just Harry was left, he made his way to the hat and put it on,

Well well well, what do we have here? A potter eh, well I can see you have plenty of cunning however i fear for the young Malfoy heir if I put you there. I also see plenty of bravery yes but you seem to find the two heads of Gryffindor somewhat irritating. Your very loyal but not really to friends, more to your tasks, plenty smart though yes? Well better be...

RAVENCLAW!!

Ravenclaw table erupted in cheers as he went and sat at the end of the table opposite Tonks.

hr

After the feast was finished the headmaster stood and called for silence.

"This year at Hogwarts we will be holding the first tri-wizard tournament in over 200 years!"

He paused to let the cheers subside before continuing

"Due to the dangers involved the ministry has seen fit to put a age restriction and only those who are over the age of seventeen may enter"

He paused again to let the boo's stop before going on again

"Our guests will be arriving the day before Halloween and the goblet will be available to enter your name into the contest, the goblet will Choose the best candidate to compete for the school. Be warned once your chosen you must compete there is no backing out. Goodnight"

hr

Harry arrived in his personal chamber after Dumbledore had shown him where it was, he was impressed. Dumbledore had given them the guest suite, 3 bedrooms with a living area and bathroom with a pool sized bath and huge shower cubicles, the entire suite was decorated with emerald green marble with blue accents. The seats were green leather witch both Harry and Matt changed to black and white respectfully. Their rooms had a giant four poster with plain white sheets which Harry proptly changed to black.

First lesson was history of magic which harry instantly decided he was not going to attend ever again, second lesson was charms, they began on the summoning charm, Harry sat watching as all of the students struggled with wand movements and incantations he sat with his head in his hands regretting the decision to attend Hogwarts.

"Mr Potter" Flitwick squeaked "is there a reason your not practicing?"

"I've been able to summon things since I was 5 years old, if this is how most of the curriculum is here I won't be here long"

"Really Mr Potter I would like to see you summon that pillow from over there"

Harry raised his hand and the pillow instantly jump from where it was to Harry's hand

"Well done Mr Potter 10 points to Ravenclaw and you don't need to attend for the next week as this is all we will be doing"

"Thank you sir"

hr

After Charms Harry Had defence with the Slytherins, An auror which Matt had told him was the best of his age, walking into the classroom he saw moody disillusioned standing in the corner, he decided to let him play his little game and left him be.

Harry took a seat at the back of the class with a shadow nearby and raised a shield which would draw power from the shadow if a spell impacted on it, Moody shot four stunner and the class screamed as they hurtled towards harry.

He watched as the spells impacted and done little damage to his shields, Harry stood into a battle position and launched a couple of stunners followed by a sting hex before push is palm towards moody's wooden leg and muttering "abrumpo"

Moody caught off guard by the low blow toppled over before being bound by Harry

Harry walked up to moody put his face inches away from moody's and screamed at the top of his voice "Constant Vigilance!" before untying and helping moody to his feet and taking his seat.

"Very good potter, not many people can react like that to a threat they didn't see coming"

"I knew you were there"

"you can see through disillusion charms?"

"of course I can, plus you were making a lot of noise what with breathing and all you wheeze pretty badly and I heard you"

"right on with today's lesson"

hr

Potions in the afternoon was a miserable affair and Harry was pretty sure Snape was going to spend some quality time in the hospital wing

"Ahh. Mr Potter, our new celebrity"

"i'm not a celebrity sir"

"ohh really?"

"more of a saviour or 'hero' if you will"

"cocky and arrogant just like your farther"

"not really just confident"

"We will see, just how confident you are, the potion we are brewing today drains the user of his magic for 30 minutes, if done wrong you will use it permanently" he said cruelly

"I won't be drinking that even it were made by a potion master, which I am not"

"If you wish to remain in this classroom you will do as your told potter"

"if you wish to remain teaching I suggest you leave me alone death eater, i will not be drinking a potion which would leave me almost defenceless"

"WHAT. Did you just call me!"

"Death eater?"

"100 points from Ravenclaw now get out"

"No"

"Out of my classroom"

"This class room is part of the school, it does not belong to you"

Snape ground his teeth, took another 50 points and stormed to the front of the classroom and waved at the board

"Instructions are on the board you have 30 minutes"

"That potion takes an hour to brew" Harry pointed out

"JUST DO IT!"

The class began to shuffle as the students gathered ingredients, Harry however took out a notebook and pen and began to write.

"What do you think you're doing potter?"

Harry duplicated his note with a wave of his hand and passed it to Snape

Dear governors'

I would like to formally complain about Professor S Snape, upon entering his class room today I was instantly set upon by said professor he insulted not only me but my late father. He also found it relevant to take house points for pointing out his mistakes. Furthermore he is teaching a fourth year potions students a potion which could permanently drain the user magic if brewed incorrectly, and wanted me to test my own. I also know that the professor is a former death eater, personally I don't think that a death eater renounced or not, he should not be allowed near impressionable youths. I await your response

H Potter

"What is this Potter?"

"A complaint sir"

"And you think they will believe you over 2 professors and a class of students?"

"Are you suggesting I lied and that you are going to get professor Dumbledore to stand for you. Again? And then I know you bully all houses other than your own so I have plenty support, trust me just accept the complaint and you will save yourself a lot of trouble"

"are you threatening me?"

"yes"

"excuse me!"

"I said yes I am threatening you"

"I'll have you out for this potter"

"I don't think so"

"You're all dismissed, potter to the headmaster with me"

"No"

"if I have to drag you there by the scruff of the neck you will come with me"

"If you lay one finger on me you will lose said finger"

Harry whistled and Gaius flamed to his shoulder, he passed the note he had written to the bird and he flamed away, "good bye professor" and walked out of the Dungeon.

hr

At dinner Harry sat near Tonks again and began to get annoyed at the looks people kept shooting at him.

He watched as Tonks through him another look. "what?"

"Hmm?"

"Why do you and everybody in this damn hall keep looking at me like that?"

"Well it might be because of that sword you've been carrying on your belt all day, or maybe its because you stood up to Snape challenged his teaching complained to the governors called him a death eater and then threatened to cut his finger off."

"Oh"

"Mr Potter might we have a Word in my office" Dumbledore's voice sounded behind him, he turned around and saw professors Dumbledore, Snape, McGonagall, and Flitwick.

"Yeah"

He dug in his bag for a notebook and scribbled another note

Meet me in Dumbledore's office

Whistled again and summoned Gaius, "take this to Matt"

"No need for your guardian Mr Potter you are not in trouble"

"Matt is at all of my meeting regardless"

"You will not be getting special treatment potter" Snape spat

"Neither will you death eater"

"No need for that Mr Potter" McGonagall scolded

He shrugged

"HA Potters getting expelled!" Malfoy yelled from the other side of the room

Harry spun round and waved his hand in a violent motion.

SLAP the sound carried across the room and Malfoys face had a handprint right across it

"warned you once, that was the only one you got for free"

"Mr Potter my office please"

hr

When they approached the gargoyle that guarded Dumbledore's office Matt was waiting

"Whats wrong Harry?"

"I'm guessing this has something to do with my complaint?"

Dumbledore nodded

"Then it's because Snape is a petty death eater arsehole who if he doesn't watch his lip is going to end up with his head on a stick"

Matt let out a deep belly laugh but the other stood with their mouths open. Snape pulled his wand and tried to aim it at Harry but his hand was stuck half way, Snape looked down and almost fell over when he saw his own shadow holding onto his arm.

"Careful Death eater wouldn't want that shadow to suddenly feel the urge to grab you greasy neck would you?"

"Mr Potter you never mentioned this power before" Dumbledore said raising his eyebrows.

"you never asked and it's not important, it's nothing that can be taught"

"Right well if you release Professor Snape we'll go up" Dumbledore urged but still had that twinkle in his eye.

"Fine"

Once they were all seated Harry and Matt in their customary black and white leather wingbacks Dumbledore began, "Mr Potter I would appreciate it if you would drop the complaint against Professor Snape" he said with his best grandfatherly smile

"No"

"Pardon"

"I said no is everybody in this damn place deaf?"

"It is for the greater good..."

"It is for my good to complain"

"Professor Snape is spy to our side"

"Wrong" Matt piped in "he is spy to your side, we have our own spies and none of them are marked and there's the fact that he hasn't been to a single death eater function since Voldemorts downfall, he's not a very good spy if you ask me"

"Yes well I think it would be best" Dumbledore started

"No"

"You do realise that you're doing more harm than good"

"It is you who is doing the harm headmaster, I've had one lesson and I've seen the way he teaches and the bias on the other houses, he is under educating the other houses and ruining career ambitions, and what for a spy who went past his sell by date 14 years ago? Just so you know I will also be filing charges for the sixteen attempts on my mind 6 from yourself and 8 from the death eater"

Through Harry's speech Flitwick and McGonagall sat with their mouths open and glaring daggers at Snape and Dumbledore

Harry and Matt walked out of the office and Flitwick and McGonagall followed soon after.
