5 January. 1992. (HP authentic date xD)

Winter Holidays are over. It was time to return to Hogwarts.

Harry has done a lot of things over this short winter break. And has had many incidents or as he likes to call them 'fucking anime encounters' or 'raised flags'.

But with his usual style of doing things, if there is a problem you either deal with it, ignore it or run away from it. He choses which one depending on his mood.

Apparently some of the Rich Magician Families of Britain have set their sights on his business. Marcus informed him after he and the Fenrir Werewolf's tore apart the men that attacked his shops. Harry was very happy that he hired those guys. There is nothing better than instant return on investment, especially if it was a long term investment plan.

His plans for China were unfortunately well 'blown up' quite literally. Instead of the war dying out like Harry predicted because the Chinese Pantheon and Daotists got involved. It became even worse, since some other factions decided to make things even worse and try to weaken the factions in Supernatural China, as a result they made things worse for the Wizarding Society there.

Harry was not happy about that. He was in a bad mood for a day or two. His plans for his precious new Pot got delayed by a year or two. Depending on how long it takes for the situation to calm down.

He tried to reach to his Underworld contacts to get the Pot delivered to him. But the price was so high because of the war, even after the discount they offered to get in good favour with the 'Viper', Harry decided it just wasn't worth it.

'Whoever said War is good for business come in front of me so that I can blast your face off.' This is what Hope recorded in her Notes with an amused expression as she listened to Harry rant

~ Train Station

"I hate this" Harry was one again laying on Hope's lap with dark circles under his eyes. He hadn't slept the last three days. He was finishing up all of his experiments from home and packing up the ones he couldn't so that he could do them in Hogwarts.

"The train?" Dora said with a relaxed expression "I mean I get it, being stuck in a train for hours when you have ADHD must be like torture"

" I do not have ADHD, but I do hate the train" Harry denuded the notion causing everybody in the cabin to scoff.

"Sure~" Tracy who joined them also had the same expression as the rest. She might not be a member of the family, but she got to know Harry's personality by now.

"Right how could I make such a mistake" Dora said dramatically "You do not have ADHD. You have IMRM, I Must Research Magic!"

The others just look at Harry to see his excuse but Harry didn't say anything, he was just frowning

"You won't deny it?" Daphne said with a raised eyebrow

"No I'm considering if i should send an letter to the Magical Disease Centre. I know a few people with the exact same mindset as me. I wonder what their reaction would be if they got a letter saying they were infected with IMRM." Harry said with a small grin.

The girls just looked among themselves ' ' ' ' ' Yep he is insane' ' ' ' ' even little Tori understood that Harry was a bit... strange.

"Harry go to sleep. The last thing we need is you blowing up the castle because you are cranky" Hope sighed as she started to comb through his hair. She loves these moments with him, just simple acts of intimacy 

"Sure thing. I'll leave everything else to you" Harry smiled at her and fell sound asleep.

"Ya know. He is kind of cute when he is asleep" Dora said with a slight smile, it was like watching a bloodthirsty hell hound fall asleep and just be a cute puppy.

"Duh, he is handsome, awake or asleep isn't going to change that" Daphne said as she turned a page of her book. It was just a fact, Harry was a handsome guy, no need to deny or twist it. His personality on the other hand... it won't be mentioned.

Tracy turned to her friend " Daphne... are you perhaps a witches witch? Do you play for the other team?"

"MmM" Daphne got a tick mark on her forehead

SMACK

She smacked Tracy with her book "Ahhh. Assault! Daphne has become a violent girl!"

"Stop making stupid comments and i will stop hitting you" she sat back down and started to read her book on Magecraft and Magic. Written by Harry Potter. 'Mage x Magic for Beginners Vol 1'

Right under the word 'Beginners' there were a few characters. Apparently Harry put it in as a joke. They were the Japanese characters for 'Dummies'. He had planned to write down 'Idiots' but apparently if you want to improve yourself you are no longer qualified to be called that.

"I think he is pretty" Astoria smiled as she ate her sweets. Tracy got tears in her eyes and hugged the life out of the little girl

"Never change my sweet little Tori, you bundle of cuteness. Don't become a harsh cold person like your sister"

SMACK 

"OWW!"

~ Another Compartment

"Are you ready brother of mine"

"Absolutely my mirror image."

"We have spent the entire winter break improving our design."

"The new and improved Canary Cream will definitely get them."

"And past Guard Dog Hottie Hope"

"Who even came up with that name?"

"Can't say my handsome twin. But it was probably a Gryffindor"

"Most definitely. but enough about that. Lets get this show on the road!"

Their friend Jordan who was in the same compartment was them looked back and forth at their shenanigans. 'I pray that you won't die brothers. There is still much to be done, like trying to have a threesome with Angelina and Alicia!'

Fred and George made it in front of Potter's cabin. The door was charmed to be locked, but they never planned to open it. The entire winter break they have been practicing their Banishing Spell. Specifically the variant that Healers use to banish potions directly in the stomachs of patients. Their little brother Ronikins was naturally their test subject and they have figured out and modified it so that it could go across walls.

The Canary Cream, they specifically developed a new version for Harry Potter and his group. The only people they haven't been able to prank. Hope just turns it back on them. But this time it will definitely work.

"One" "Two" they whispered

"Three" Both of them waved their wands at the magical cream in their hands then at the compartment

Both grinned expecting to hear screams soon when-

Grrrrrr x2

-their stomachs grumbled

" "Uh-oh" "

"This wasn't supp- Chirp. Chirp" (to happen)

"Chirp. Chirp!!" (Why did it fail!!)

Hope inside the cabin just sighed as she lowered down her hand ' Idiots. If they just applied themselves in the right way they would become something great. Harry did mention that these two have the most potential in the entire school. More than some of the teachers and I see it. Being able to create these pranks require quite the bit of ingenuity and research. Ironically some of their methods are revolutionary for wizards, yet they waste their time on useless things. A pity.'

The train ride continued, the prefects tried to undo the transformation on the twins but failed. So they just locked them in an empty compartment until the end of the ride.

"Do we wake him up?" Tori poked Harry's cheek, he was deep asleep.

"Harry is the cautious type right. He won't like being exposed" Tonks said while waving her hand, the guy was hardcore, being seen weak might be insulting to him

"Nah, he won't care" Hope smiled wryly "He might think it was amusing"

Everybody was confused. Daphne frowned, that didn't make sense "What do you mean?"

"Harry is never really asleep, a small part of his mind is always working in the back, and he has automatic spells set in, and that part is keeping them in check. As far as I'm aware he has a triple Hex Barrier on him at all times. His Escudo green barriers and a Lightning Skin spell all on standby."

...

"T-that's way too paranoid isn't it" Tonks said with disbelief in her voice

"Apparently when this idiot went to hunt a devil alone he was almost killed by the sheer speed of the Devil, if it wasn't for his auto defence he would have died. So naturally he made the defence even better" Hope shrugged her shoulders as she picked up Harry in her arms.

"Lets just do it this way" She cast an illusion on herself and made a fake Harry appear besides her, that was her limit, illusions aren't really her forte.

"What if anybody notices?" Tracy asked in a somewhat worried voice

"Harry would just probably laugh it off" Hope laughed and the group slowly made their way to the castle

~ Feast 

It was time for the return feast. As usual the staff was sitting at the main table. Dumbledore looked pretty happy at how the students looked at him with awe. 'This is how it should be. With me guiding these sheep like a shepherd'

His teachers as usual either had happy smiles seeing the students return or stoic faces. Well a stoic face, which changed after he saw a particular student and his group enter the hall.

"Did you have to carry me like that Hope" Harry yawned in his hand, he still felt sleepy.

"What you embarrassed, feeling ashamed?" Tonks bumped him with her elbow hoping for the boy to get embarrassed, but she also knew the chances of that happening were slim

Harry just scoffed "Shame? I left that in my mothers womb"

"Ohh that's a good one. I'm using that" Tracy just laughed

"Sure thing, pip squeak. Well I'm going to the Puff table. See you guys later"

Harry sighed as he looked at the Ravenclaw table "Lets get this over with. I need to go and check the room for any tampering later"

Once everyone was seated and the students accounted for. Dumbledore raised his chalice and tapped it a few times, gaining the attention of the students. 

"Good evening, and welcome back to Hogwarts my dear students. I hope all of you had a wonderful winter holiday. For the 5th and 7th years I would recommend not to relax as it is their OWL and NEWT year. Well enough of that, let the feast begin" Dumbledore raised his hands with a smile.

Food started to appear on the tables.

'Still looks as unappetizing as ever. But that's because my standards are higher I guess.' Harry just took a chicken drumstick to eat. Not before checking for any poisons and potions of course.

The rest did the same with their preferred food.

"its good to see you again Potter" Blaise said with a smile from nearby

Harry raised an eyebrow. he was certainly cheerful "Yeah, you too. You appear to be in a good mood. Had a good winter break?"

His face brightened "Yeah my mother chewed me out for not being a Slytherin and how much of a disgrace I was and for not making connections in Ravenclaw at least. It was awesome?"

"Are you a masochist?" Tracy blurred out and everybody turned to her.

"How do you know that word?" Hope said with a bit of suprise

"Rom-novels" Tracy said with a fist pump "its the wisdom of the gods!"

Harry choked up a bit before laughing "Don't say shit like that outside Hogwarts, some idiot God might really smite you"

"Eh, Potter you believe in Gods?" Blaze said with a bit of suprise, Harry didn't seem to be the believer type

Harry just smiled maliciously "Believe? No. no, I know. Every single one of those arrogant, self-centred bastards is real. Don't mistake this for faith. I have proof, I would suggest you be very careful when saying a God's name outside.

Hogwarts offers some protection against divination and scurrying. But if you call on a name, they can literally watch you from above. Be especially careful about the Greeks. Those are some of the worst scumbags to ever walk the Earth" Harry said with a bit of advice.

This was a type of experiment for him, Blaise was neutral and not a part of his group, he wondered what a child would do with this kind of information and what the consequences would be. Especially since it would have little to no affect on him.

It was just plain curiosity, seeing what the regular folk would do with that kind of information. Deferment of Mysteries definitely know about the Supernatural and are keeping it hidden on purpose.

'Would this cause a change in the status quo? Lets wait and see' Harry smirked on the inside

Hope just facepalmed 'There it is, his nasty side. I feel pity for the wizards, Harry just keeps bullying them and they don't even know it. Honestly its not really their fault they are so uneducated and their culture is so stupid. They are like frogs in a well. They don't know anything about the real world outside their well. And i can't blame them. They are safe, they are fed and alive.

Yet Harry takes this as a personal insult. He can't believe that a race with such potential is just squandering it away by doing stupid things. in his mind because he can do it they have the potential to do it too on some lower level. And its true, Andy, Ted and Ophelia are making progress. Daphne due to being younger with her mind being more 'flexible' will probably reach greater heights than them.'

"Ahh. I see" Blaise said with a stiff expression, then he froze realizing students might have overheard their conversation. He turned around and saw that nobody was actually paying attention, except for the staff.

"Harry cast a spell as soon as you started talking to him. A Notice Me Not and some for anti-eavesdropping" Daphne said as she took a bite from her food.

Harry nodded "You are getting better at felling mana, I wasn't subtle about it, but its still difficult for students to notice it. You are improving with your studies. Well done Daphne"

"Yep, Daphy is the best" Astoria smiled with her cheeks were filled with dessert, she looked like a hamster

Daphne blushed a little from all the attention on her but she still kept her cool

"Hey you said your mother. Do you mean the Black Widow?" Tracy said with complete casualness as she stuffed her face with food

Daphne and Hope twitched ' ' Tracy you idiot. You don't ask something like that' '

Blaise's smile left his face, this was a sore subject for him " Well she does get called that, but there was never any truth"

"Chill, nobody here cares about things like that. Hell i probably kill more people in a month than your mother has in her lifetime." Harry just shrugged, again he was messing with the kid. Even if he knew this information he was smart enough to keep his mouth shut. And if he wasn't, well Harry's reputation as a ruthless killer would spread. Meaning less trouble for him with the wizards. Especially since this source of information would come from the Zabini Mafia Family. 

"... I see." At this point Blaise was just repeating himself. But how are you even supposed to answer that. " Wizards I assume" He tried to keep the conversation going.

"Anything that attacks me or my business honestly. Wizards, humans, devils, demons, fallen angels, exorcist, the usual" Harry started counting on his fingers

Blaise.exe shutdown. His mind just went blank.

'Ahh. Youth. Always fun to mess with kids. But still the kid has a lot more growing. I just put a forceful Geas on him to keep quiet about this part. He has early training from his family and decent Occlumency Shields for a firstie. Yet he didn't notice a thing and I purposely allowed it to be sensed. Meh at least it will be funny for a while to see how he will act'

~ A/N

Harry just doing crazy shit and chaos to amuse himself. Frankly if I was in Blaise's place I would just avoid Harry like a plague. Who willingly talks to someone who killed two people in public. Thats just asking for trouble.

Anyway there is no bigger plan for Blaise. He now can only talk about Gods existing and not everything else. A experiment driven by Harry's curiosity. Either way the results will be interesting to him.

Will the kid share the secret and get rid of the weight off his chest and cause mild panic among wizards. Or will he keep it hidden and how he will go forward with this new knowledge bomb he got dropped with.

Kind of a cruel thing to do to a 11 year old kid if you ask me.

Well see you in the next chap
