Chapter 4- Hogwart's Year 1 (1991)
The Granger's had offered to drive Harry to King's Cross but Harry had politely declined. He didn't want to draw attention to the fact that he knew other wizarding children before Hogwarts or it would draw unwanted attention to how Harry met them. It would already prove suspicious that Harry got his supplies by himself. Based upon the charms on the letter Dumbles left the Dursley's he probably suspected that they would never take him to get his supplies.
Harry would simply tell them that he finally got the location of the Leaky Cauldron out of them and they had finally dropped him off. He would explain that he eventually made it to Gringotts where he was informed of his trust vault. (The goblins were instructed to tell Dumbles that he only was told of his trust vault should he inquire) Harry was reasonably certain that Dumbles would buy his story. After all he had the memories to back it up stored in his false personality ward.
Harry's trunk was shrunken in his pocket. His false memories showed a normal trunk with a self shrinking and enlarging rune that were commonly sold in Diagon Alley. Harry had his weapons strapped to his sides completely hidden under his ward. Harry had upgraded Hermione's trunk with the same features. He taught Hermione the duplication charm for books. He also gave her a copy of the full Hogwarts curriculum both modern day and founder's time.
It turned out that getting Hermione into uni this year was actually fairly easy. Harry just had to convince his teachers to call up her teachers and convince them to give her the test to graduate under the basis that Harry had tutored her for the last couple of years. When her teachers saw his scores they were convinced to try. With Hermione's new mental skills it was pretty simple for her to get a perfect score. Getting her into uni so late was slightly more difficult but manageable with ample use of compulsion charms and money to grease the wheels.
So that it wouldn't make her golem counterpart look like a loaner Harry had enrolled another golem copy of Harry Potter at the same uni at the same age in addition to the James Evans golem. So there would be 2 eleven year old looking golems at Queen Mary's taking physics and genetics. With the genetics degree they were hoping to one day isolate the genes that allowed wizards and witches access to "magic."
When the Vernon and Petunia golems dropped Harry off at King's Cross at 10:30 he made his way over to the barrier where he found the Grangers waiting for them. The barrier that he was not told how to find or get through. Harry was sent the standard half blood or pureblood letter when Harry knew very well that Dumbles should have known Harry wouldn't have a clue about Hogwarts if the Dursley's were to be relied upon. He would again have to use the excuse that he forced it out of his relatives through persistence.
Emma Granger gave Harry a hug goodbye just like she did Hermione, while Dan shook Harry's hand. Harry had grown very fond of the Grangers in the last 2 weeks. He imagined they would be just like his parents. Harry's aunt Petunia and uncle Vernon had treated Harry like family ever since he removed the compulsions and dark wards but it was hard to be close to someone who tortured you literally for most of your life.
That was another thing Dumbles would pay for. He had enough problems with being an orphan and the boy-who-lived without having his relationship damaged with his last remaining relatives and tortured. Harry blamed Voldemort and Dumbles for it all. Although in truth it seemed that Dumbles was more malicious than Voldemort. At least the dark tosser would have granted him a quick death.
Once their goodbyes were said Harry and Hermione made their way onto platform 9 and 3⁄4 and onto the train. Harry and Hermione already knew pretty much what to expect from reading the diary and journal of Harry's mum and dad. They were very detailed writings. Harry and Hermione had taken to writing in a diary and journal too. Harry had put some of the most secure wards that the founders had taught him on both. They kept them in hidden compartments in their
trunks with runes to transport them to Harry's vault if anyone tampered with them. Harry very much doubted that Voldemort or Dumbles could even figure out what the parsel wards Sal had taught him did let alone break them.
When they were settled in their compartment they sat and chatted for a while. Since Hermione had gotten to know Harry she had confided a lot about herself to him and he had reciprocated. She knew he still had a lot of secrets and she let him keep them because he told her the reasons for them. When she had expressed that she looked like a bushy haired plain girl Harry was quick to disabuse her of the notion. When he had suggested that he could shrink her two front teeth she had quickly agreed.
He showed her some hair care charms that gave her silky straight hair. She now looked really cute. Harry joked with her about somebody stealing away his cute friend. She had cried happy tears the day she heard him say that. When they got settled into Hogwarts Harry was planning on showing her the dark rituals book that a lot of dark wizards used. He wanted her to be aware of why a lot of wizards and witches didn't keep their virginity in tact for long.
When it became closer to 11 o clock the platform rapidly filled up. The first time their compartment door opened was to a pink haired girl who appeared to be in about a 6th or 7th year. The best way to describe her would be hot but in a way that she didn't seem to care what other people thought. She had a very cute face with long legs and a nice bum.
She opened the compartment door and appeared to be about to say something when she tripped. Before she could hit the floor Harry used his dragon reflexes and strength to catch her. She blushed when she saw him staring into her eyes. Harry's telepathy picked up her mental shout of he's cute. Even with Harry's pale skin and slim frame he knew he was a looker.
His eyes always seemed to have that affect on females. Harry had decided that he would be the maximum height that was safe for this age group even if it didn't lend to his abused look. Almost all of the abuse could be hidden by clothes anyway. Harry could see the blush in the girl's cheeks and hear her heart beating faster. Harry just gave her a smile and helped her into a seat.
"Sorry about that and thanks for catching me." "I was wondering if I could sit in here with you guys." "Sure," Harry told the girl. He helped her lift her trunk into the overhead rack. She plopped down in the seat next to Harry and held out her hand for him to shake. "Wotcher my name is Tonks." Harry shook her hand and introduced Hermione. They then sat for a few minutes and chatted.
They found out she was going into her 6th year as a Ravenclaw. As soon as Harry heard her name he remembered it from a conversation he had with his goblin account manager Slasher. He turned on his mage sight and sure enough she had the same part of her aura as he did. She was a
metamorph. She said she was currently on track to become an auror but she was still not completely decided.
Harry would see if he could change her mind about that career choice. A metamorph auror would be used by the ministry for the most dangerous missions. He could already tell by her mannerisms that she didn't like being used for her talents. Harry could definitely relate to being used. Most of the sheep of the general wizarding population only saw him for his scar. If nothing else he could hire her himself. He could use an assistant or he could find some other position.
Harry's estimation of her character went up a bit when she found out his full name and didn't look at his scar. She was surprised and slightly excited but she didn't look at his scar. When Harry caught a glimpse of red out of the corner of his eye he turned to the window and saw a family of red heads on the platform getting ready to load onto the train.
Another thing Slasher had informed him during one of their recent conversations was that part of the money that was being stolen from his trust vault was going into the account of one Molly Weasley. Harry didn't know if the whole family was in on it but he was going to be weary of any dealings he had with Weasleys. Harry had discreetly asked around in a disguised form and found out that the Weasley's had 2 children about his age. They were probably paid by Dumbles to spy on him and report to him. Dumbles was in for a rude awakening.
Harry cast a ward on the door that would make it so nobody could see the compartment when the girls weren't looking. Both girls seemed to hit it off right away. They both had a love of learning. The train started moving and Harry couldn't help think that his time at Hogwarts was going to be very interesting indeed. He had 2 girls who had crushes on him already and he had to admit that he liked them back. Harry decided there might be some validity to Fleur's musing that Harry had some veela blood in him.
Harry decided that he was going to limit his group of girl friends to Fleur, Sam, Hermione, and Tonks. Anymore than that and he would get confused or in trouble. So far none of them had shown any jealous tendencies and all of them had shown a tendency for bisexuality when they were around him. Well none of that could be blamed on Harry when it came to Fleur because she was veela but it might be for the others.
Tonks was naturally comfortable with herself because of her metamorph nature. Hermione and Sam Harry just wasn't sure. If Harry was part veela that would go a long way in explaining Sam and Hermione's tendencies toward going for both sexes. Male veela were rare. They tended to make the women around them bisexual and not jealous.
Tonks, Hermione, and Harry got a kick out of watching one of the Weasley boys walking up and down the train corridor several times apparently looking for something. Harry suspected he was looking for him. When they were getting close to Hogwarts instead of leaving the compartment
Harry just used switching spells to switch their clothes for robes. He was beginning to gain some trust of Tonks so he didn't even bother to use a wand.
At her raised eyebrows and look of awe at his casual use of wandless magic he got her to give a witches oath not to divulge his secrets. He promised to teach her wandless magic and occlumency. She had no interaction with Dumbles for now and didn't need to look Snape in the eye. Snape's version of Legilimency was probably like a bull through a china shop anyway. This conversation wouldn't be a surface thought he would pick up on the fly. She would catch him if he tried to dig deeper.
When the train pulled into the train station at Hogsmeade station Harry immediately felt the wards of Hogwarts. Harry as the owner of Hogwarts had full control of the wards. They gave him the feeling of being at home. Harry and Hermione made their way over to the boats to cross the lake in. Tonks had to ride the carriages. Harry road with Hermione and a brown haired boy who looked quite scared. Harry saw the Weasel coming over that seemed intent on stocking him so he sent a wandless confundus spell at the boy. A pretty red head girl got in and sat beside the boy who introduced himself as Neville Longbottom. The girl introduced herself as Susan Bones while Harry and Hermione introduced themselves. Harry just tuned out their reactions as they made their way across the lake to the school.
When they got inside the entrance hall an arrogant little junior death eater named Malfoy confronted Harry about coming to Hogwarts. When he made his little speech about some families being better than others Harry just rolled his eyes and discreetly cast a wandless diarrhea curse on him. "It appears that some families are better at holding their bowels in than others." Everybody in the hall was laughing at Malfoy.
When McGonagal led the first years into the hall Harry observed the professors table. Dumbles instantly started using passive Legilimency on Harry when he met his eyes as did Snape. All they got were the frightened thoughts of a first year from his ward. Flitwick, McGonagal, and Sprout were supposed to be good teachers from what he read from his parents. The DADA teacher appeared to have something very wrong about him. Harry turned on his energy sight and saw that he appeared to be possessed by something.
If the rattling of the energy scar inside Harry's center against it's bindings was any indication it appeared that it was Voldemort. So he wasn't completely dead anyway. Dumbles had to know about it if Harry could figure it out with one or two glances which meant that it was one of Dumble's plans. Harry would take the sit back and watch things happen approach.
When the sorting started Harry used his connection with the sentient castle to give the hat some commands that he wanted to be carried out for certain students. As THE heir of the founders and school owner all of the property in the school belonged to him, except for the students' things of course. The hat had to obey him. When Hermione came up she was sorted into Ravenclaw without pause. Good Harry thought that means she took what I told her about Dumbles to heart.
When Draco Malfoy came up he was sorted into Gryffindor and everybody appeared shocked. Harry was internally snickering. He threw the hat off and threw a temper tantrum. He refused to go to Gryffindor. In the end McGonagal had to use a sticking charm to stick him to the bench of the Gryffindor table. Everybody stayed far away from him. As soon as the hat was on Harry's head he gave it the command to spy on Dumbles for him and he would want regular reports on anything pertaining to himself or any of his 2 friends through the castle.
When Harry was sorted into Ravenclaw everybody was again shocked. Harry took a seat in between a beaming Hermione and Tonks. When they recovered from their shock the sorting continued. When Ron Weasley was sorted into Slytherin a similar scene that occurred with Malfoy happened. It was quite comical. He kept insisting all Slytherins were death eaters. Harry predicted that with that attitude he wouldn't last the night alive.
Harry pretty much zoned out everything Dumbles said until he came to the part about the third floor corridor was off limits under pain of death. Harry was internally rolling his eyes. Could the man be any less subtle. Tell a school full of hundreds of curious and mischievous children not to do something and they will do it out of curiosity.
When Harry got to the Ravenclaw dorms he was happy to see that the students in Ravenclaw each got their own rooms. Harry went to bed after warding his room with some very dangerous wards should somebody try to harm him while he was sleeping. They would also be very hard to detect unless you knew what to look for.
The next morning when classes started Harry decided that he was going to do his best in all of his classes. McGonagal was very surprised when Harry managed the match to needle transfiguration on his first try. When Hermione followed about 5 seconds later Harry thought McGonagal's eyebrows couldn't get any higher.
When Harry had charms a pretty much identical situation occurred. Harry figured he was a Ravenclaw, people expected him to be good at magic. Hell if nothing else he could claim there was a reason he was the boy who lived.
During Harry's potions lessons he was truly amazed at the pettiness of the death eater. Harry answered all of the man's questions correctly and he still got points deducted and a detention. When he left the class he told the castle to disable Snape's ability to deduct points. As far as detentions went Harry simply refused to attend. They sure as hell weren't going to expel the boy who lived for not attending detentions that a death eater assigned.
The Daily Prophet would have a field day with that, after all Harry owned it. Harry, Hermione, and Tonks started meeting in Ravenclaw's personal chambers every evening for Harry to help tutor Hermione and Tonks. They taught Tonks better occlumency and the telepathy form of Legilimency. They also started her in on wandless magic. Later on when the girls had caught up he would start teaching them some serious battle magic.
Each of the founders had their own personal chambers at the school. Ravenclaw's was the room of requirement; Gryffindor's was a room near the Gryffindor common room that had battle magic training facilities, Hufflepuff's was a room where she did research in healing, and Sal's was his chamber of secrets.
As the heir to all four founders Harry could make it so only he could access any room in the school. When the girls and Harry were in the RoR (Room of Requirement) he would make the room inaccessible to anybody else. Harry traveled down to Sal's chamber to let the basilisk out to hunt in the forest. An interesting fact about parselmouths that wasn't widely known and that Sal had informed Harry was that as a parselmouth he was immune to the stare of a basilisk.
Sal had also taught Harry a nifty bit of parselmagic that made others immune temporarily. It basically worked like a one way mirror for the eyes. The person's eyes looked like a mirror to the outside observer but they could see through just fine. It also had the added advantage of being really cool.
Sal's dagger served nicely to prove to the basilisk that he was the true heir of Slytherin. When Harry first got into Hogwarts he had summoned the marauder's map to him. James had added the same set of runes that were on the trio's wands and Harry's weapons without telling the other marauders. It would only work for him and a blood heir. Harry had read in the journal how the map had been confiscated by Filch and the marauders had been unable to retrieve it before they left the school.
Harry learned the full set of creation charms and runes used on the map from James' journal. As soon as he got it he struck Pettigrew from the maps archives. At first Harry decided to take a wait and see approach to his godfather because he was apparently guilty of murdering several mundanes when he killed Pettigrew.
Harry did decide that even if Sirius murdered some people by accident he was still his godfather. To compromise the situation Harry would send Sirius a basket of food and nutrient potions on a weekly basis so that the man didn't starve. He also sent him a wand with the first basket.
Harry was pretty pissed that Sirius had done a stupid thing like run off to hunt down Pettigrew when he should have taken care of Harry. Harry didn't blame Sirius for killing Pettigrew but Harry imagined that Sirius had done the stupid modern day Gryffindor theme of charging in half cocked and accidentally killing 13 muggles as a result.
(AN: Harry is never near the Gryffindor common room to see Pettigrew on the map)
Whatever the case was Sirius was obviously an unstable father figure. When Harry got a chance he shadow traveled to the third floor corridor. Staying in the shadows Harry managed to make it completely through a maze that actually resembled an obstacle course more than security. Harry was pretty sure a first year could get through this supposed security.
Voldemort must be seriously weak right now if he couldn't get through this without alerting the rest of the staff to his attempts. The most difficult part of the thing was the Cerberus which could be overpowered with a sufficiently powerful sleeping charm. Harry shadow traveled through each challenge thinking Dumbles couldn't be more obvious. In herbology the first year class was being taught how to defeat the plant test. The flying key room could be taken care of with a reductor curse to the door after placing silencing wards on the room or using tunneling charms on the floor under the door.
Besides why provide the correct key to the intruder. Dumbles should have put all false keys in the room and kept the real one on his person. The chess board could be flown over using one of the brooms from the last test. The troll test was easy enough if you transfigured javelins and banished them at the beast.
The potions test had Snape's stupidity written all over it. The potions all should have contained the draught of living death or poison. Snape could have actually kept the real potion on his person and brought it with him or just used a flame freezing curse on the fire.
The last test was actually the first non first year test that Harry could see simply because it had an alert ward tied to the mirror that Harry assumed was tied to Dumbles. None of the other tests had wards on them. Dumbles couldn't be any more obvious if he tried. Dumbles would probably arrive at this last defense after a stupid first year went through the obstacles, tripping the alert ward in the process, to save the day.
Harry suspected that Dumbles intended for Harry to be the stupid first year. Harry was able to temporarily disable the alarm ward without setting it off. What Harry found when he looked at the mirror obstacle confirmed his suspicions. The wards were set to give the object contained within the mirror to anybody but Voldemort. This meant that Dumbles had to know that Voldy was hitching a ride on the back of Quarrel.
When he found the philosopher's stone in the mirror Harry suspected foul play on Dumble's part. That stone had been with the Flamels for the last 600 or so years. It had plenty of threats and attempts from previous dark lords to steal it over that time. Voldy was probably not even the worst. More than likely those dark wizards had bodies and were at full strength. Both of which quantities Voldy was severely lacking.
The stone could have just as easily been under the Fidelus. Harry suspected that Dumbles had used the imperius or a similar means of coercion to trick the Flamels into allowing Dumbles, a wizard of a mere 140 years to their 650 years, to "guard" the stone.
Over the course of the next few weeks with Sal's help Harry created and brewed a potion that he was able to form into a replica of the stone. The potion would basically rob a wizard of their magic. It wouldn't kill the spirit Voldy but it would severely weaken him. He wouldn't be able to take a willing host again for a few years let alone an unwilling.
Harry took the stone back into the mirror room where he temporarily disabled the alert ward and completely removed the others. Harry set a new ward to give the stone only to Voldy. He then layered the illusion of the previous wards over top of it so that if by some chance Dumbles checked the mirror before Voldy got to it he wouldn't suspect a thing.
Harry also transferred the alert ward to a random object in the room. Dumbles would more than likely suspect that Voldy had done it. After all that is the more likely conclusion than Harry being the one to have done it. Leaving the poisonous fake stone in the mirror Harry shadow traveled back to his room.
Harry had been making trips to Queen Mary's a few days a week after classes were over at Hogwarts so that he could call Sam and keep in touch with her. He was also keeping in touch with Fleur by mirror. Harry used the chemistry labs and a spectrograph machine to analyze the components and quantities of the components in the stone. Using this method he was able to learn the method to reproduce the philosopher's stone.
He wouldn't need to actually use it for a great many years but it was nice to have it there. Harry had thought about the fact that he seemed to be able to control how much his body aged. He didn't want to be left alone with no female companionship for the rest of eternity or however long a life he lived. That seemed a fate worse than death.
He had already determined that Tonks' metamorph abilities were less real as far as the effects go. She didn't actually change her age or experience hormones like he did when he was morphed into a puberty age. He suspected that there was something in the founder's lines that was unique. The portraits of the founders seemed to have an idea about what it was but they seemed to be tight lipped about it, another one of their secrets.
He had researched methods of immortality and this one seemed to be a good option. There were others but most of the dark ones left the user insane. It didn't seem worth it to live forever or a very long time if you were going to be insane.
After Harry figured out the stone he was able to track down the Flamels. As he suspected they were under the imperius. Harry transferred the spell to golem copies of the Flamels and helped them place their property under the version of the Fidelus that Hermione's parents were under. Dumbles wouldn't be able to find them now. He then returned the stone to them.
Luckily Dumbles didn't get the secret of making the stone out of the Flamels because they had obliviated it from each others minds centuries ago so the secret wouldn't fall into the wrong hands. Harry doubted that Dumbles knew what a spectrograph was let alone how to use it. Harry knew the information on the stone wasn't really gone from the Flamels from his research into soul magic.
The obliviate spell was not powerful enough to erase it from there, but Harry highly suspected that Dumbles didn't know that. It was a very arcane obscure fact about soul magic that the founders' books had told him. Baring the fact that Dumbles got the books from another source he was probably unaware.
Harry of course didn't allow the Flamels to see his real form. He went in as an older man who called himself Shadow. He picked that as his marauder nickname. (Not very original I know)
On Halloween when the Weasel tried to say some nasty thing to Hermione after charms class when he didn't like her help she just shrugged it off. The old Hermione probably would have run off crying but with Harry and Tonks help she didn't care. That didn't mean Harry didn't take his revenge on the weasel. Harry snuck up on him in an empty corridor and proceeded to beat the living shit out of him. A few broken bones later and a severely bloodied and bruised Weasel and Harry was a very happy young wizard.
Harry used telepathy to alter the Weasel's memories to make it look like Malfoy attacked him and did a poor attempt at obliviate. Weasel was in the hospital wing and Malfoy was going to get into trouble. When Dumbles had taken over as head he had started using all of the portraits in the castle to spy for him. What Dumbles didn't know or seem to care about was that all of the portrait's belonged to Harry. They told Dumbles what Harry told them to tell him.
Later that night during the Halloween feast the trio was happily chatting away while enjoying the food when Quarrel burst into the room yelling about a troll in the dungeons. When Dumbles told everybody to go back to their dorms Harry assumed the man actually wanted Slytherins to get injured because the Slytherin dorms were in the dungeons.
Harry was not going to let that happen. He actually happened to like Sal and despite what most of the ignorant sheep of the wizarding world thought not all Slytherins were evil. Harry had Hermione and Tonks keep up an illusion of him being with them once they were in the corridor heading back to the dorms. He slipped away into the shadows of the corridor and transformed into his smaller form of the shadow dragon.
He used the horrendous smell of the troll to track it to a girls' bathroom where he proceeded to tear the creature to pieces. After ample use of cleaning charms on himself he made it back to his dorms and spent the rest of the night with the girls. He and the girls had taken to sleeping in the RoR after Harry shadow traveled them there.
There were illusions on their beds to hide the fact that they weren't in their dorms. The trio had grown close with how much time they spent together. After the girls had read the rituals Hermione had wanted her virginity gone. Tonks would be helping as well as joining in. The use of a temporary aging potion for Hermione made it a much more enjoyable night in the RoR.
Write Smut Scene
The idea of using muggle methods of chemistry for potions had become popular for the trio after Harry told the girls about the stone. Liquid potions didn't last as long as they would if they were in pill form. The trio eventually came up with methods to make the potions into pills. The average pill would last 12 hours.
Polyjuice potion, that only had to be taken once every 12 hours in pill form, would be quite the infiltration technique for non metamorphs. Since that night in the RoR the trio shared a bed. They had started Tonks in at uni. It wasn't too hard to get Tonks caught up to that level because she was a half blood and went to mundane school.
She decided to use her golem to major in Bioengineering. Harry was only too happy to invest in the girl's education. It didn't even dent his interest on his accounts. He decided that he would convince Fleur to do the same thing. The golems could meet at the uni so their human counterparts would get the memories.
Harry just had to find a way to get all 4 of his favorite girls together. If the 3 girls were together Harry suspected that it wouldn't be too difficult to get the 3 of them to stay with Sam and himself in Colorado Springs for the last 2 months of summer. He had to give Sam the month alone that he promised her after all.
When Harry received a letter with an invitation to Hagrid's hut for tea he decided to indulge the man to see what was up. When he got there he found that the man couldn't keep a secret for his life. The man was nice enough but he had basically claimed the right as the perfect pawn in life. If there was a shop that sold pawns and minions then Hagrid would be the display model in the window.
Harry used telepathy to find out the man's history. He found how Hagrid had been expelled for supposedly opening the chamber of secrets and killing a student by releasing the monster within. Harry found that notion ridiculous. The fact that the ministry who was comprised of a great deal of prejudiced pureblood bigots that spouted Sal's supposed anti dirty blood ideals thought that a half giant would be the heir of Slytherin.
Harry suspected that Dumbles had deliberately pushed for his expulsion and then turned around and told the man he had tried to fight for him. One of the first acts he did as headmaster after Dippet died was to hire Hagrid as the groundskeeper. Boy Hagrid would have made a better Hufflepuff than he would have made a Gryffindor because he sure was loyal to Dumbles. The man was a sheep to the extreme.
Dumbles had suggested this meeting to talk to Harry about Hagrid's pets and his parents. The parental aspect was a nice manipulation on Dumbles part to get Harry to like Hagrid more because he assumed Harry had known nothing about his parents, boy was he wrong.
A few weeks later and Harry was once again visiting with Hagrid to mine what information he could from the half giant just for kicks. Harry was contemplating whether giants were so stupid because all of their brains were devoted to motor control. Hagrid was hatching a baby dragon in his wooden hut. Harry could smell that it was about to hatch.
When the dragon hatched and Hagrid named him Norbert Harry just rolled his eyes internally. The dragon had of course taken an instant liking to Harry, probably because it could smell his dragon animagus form. The fact that he had learned that Voldy now knew a quick and easy way past Fluffy the Cerberus made Harry internally snicker.
When Hagrid was asleep that night Harry shadow traveled into his hut and picked up Norbert. He shadow traveled the baby dragon to the nearest dragon preserve, which he had looked up the location of. Talking one of the dragons there into looking after the baby dragon in his dragon animagus form wasn't too difficult. It didn't hurt matters that as the most magical breed of dragon the shadow dragon was rather revered in dragon lore by the dragons.
When Dumbles made a grand show one day near the end of the school year of not being there during meal time Harry knew it was time, time to sit back and watch the festivities and laugh his ass off. The trio congregated in the RoR with some popcorn and sat around the map. They saw that Dumbles was actually in his office. When they saw Quarrel make his way into the maze of obstacles it wasn't too long afterwards that Dumbles started pacing in his office on the map.
The portraits must have informed him that Harry hadn't gone after him yet. By the time Quarrel made it through all of the obstacles and back out the trio was in a great mood and snickering a lot. Dumbles strode down and confronted Voldy if the movements on the map were any indication. It appeared that Quarrel jumped out a window on the third floor and started flying away rapidly. Harry suspected he had used a shrunken broom that he got from the key trap.
Harry found it ironic that he escaped by a means provided by Dumbles. The next day Dumbles was looking really worried and kept giving Harry glances. He even tried Legilimency once. All he found were the thoughts of Harry's reaction when he pieced together Dumbles little puzzle in his personal ward.
Harry projected the thought that only a foolish Gryffindor would think they could taken on a powerful dark lord who had years and years of experience on a first year. The next couple of days were spent relaxing after the end of the year exams. Naturally Harry came in first for their year while Hermione came in second. Tonks came in first for her year which she correctly contributed to Harry and Hermione's help.
Harry was amused to note that the Weasel and Malfoy tied for last place out of the year. Although Harry had to hand it to Malfoy, if he was a spy he would make sure everybody knew it. Although whether that aspect of his psyche should be commended or not is a question Harry had to ponder. They both lacked sufficient brain power to do anything worthwhile.
During the train ride home the trio was sitting in a compartment by themselves, when Harry saw Malfoy walk up to the compartment door getting ready to open it. Normally he would just ward the door but Harry decided he could use a good laugh. Unsurprisingly he just started insulting Hermione's heritage by calling her a mudblood and other rude names. Harry just physically threw him out of the apartment and then told the girls that he would be right back.
Harry put up a strong notice me not charm and walked down the train until he found the Weasel. Right when Malfoy walked past the compartment that the Weasel was in Harry hit them both at once with another one of the founder's spells that the marauder's would have absolutely loved. It was very distracting in battle too.
The spell allowed the caster to create a shared hallucination between multiple opponents. In this case Harry made Malfoy think that Weasel was an insanely hot girl, his slag of a girlfriend to be exact. The hallucination made Weasel think the same thing about Malfoy. They started making out, groping and fondling each other right in the hallway. It was the most grotesque thing Harry had observed in a while (he had to look at Snape after all and the possessed Quarrel was pretty bad).
Harry would need to take pictures of this using a projecting pensieve so that he could distribute them next year. Harry decided that he wasn't going to cancel the spell. Maybe Weasel's brother, the Gryffindor prefect that seemed to have the stick shoved up his ass, would come and see it. The spell would eventually where off in a few hours because Harry had purposefully made it weak.
