A Hero's cry

Thank you Jessica for editing this for me!!

Chapter 1

Harry Potter at the age of one and a half was placed upon
his Aunt's doorstep. No one even bothered to knock, or
even ask the Aunt if she wanted her sister's child. The
child lay there all night before a screech woke the little
boy up.

For the first couple of months Harry would constantly

scream for his mum, his horrible Aunt would come and
tell him they were dead. Harry did not understand; all he
knew was that he was hungry and had a very sore bum.
Which was blistered and red with sores, sometimes
something Harry didn't understand would sooth his
wounds.

Over the years all he knew was pain, fear, hate and
extreme loneliness. He had no friends and did not know
any happiness at all. He was allowed to go to school, the
only reason they do is because they are scared the social
services came. They knew they would loose Dudley if they
found out how they treated Harry.

Harry hardly knew his own name, only his teacher ever
called him that. His cousin, Aunt and Uncle called him
Freak and he did not understand why.

Things did happen around him, more often than not now
of days. He was eight years old and it had now been seven
and a half years since he had been dumped on the
Dursley's doorstep. His magic was getting more and more
out of control.

He was beaten every time he showed signs of magic,

Harry heard his Uncle talking about beating it out of him.
However, today had been one of those days. He was in his
dark stuffy cupboard and pleading with someone to come
and save him. Harry knew it was wishful thinking. He
would never be taken out of there, but he had no idea his
cry for help had alerted someone.
You see this person was neither a Wizard nor a Muggle
they had their own gifts. This person was a mutant, he
was a very powerful one too, and he ran a school for
people like them. This said person was Professor Charles
Xavier, and he was speaking to the teachers at this very
moment.

"Are you ok?" asked a concerned Jean.

"A mutant has called for help, he is very badly hurt from
the sounds of it, I don't think he even knows he has done
it, he is very powerful." said Charles.

"At the school?" asked Jean looking worried.

"No," said Charles before spacing out again.

He came out of his trance like state, and said "He is

eight years old, and is currently in England, he cannot
stay there, and we must go. He will loose control over his
abilities if we don't go."
"Should we get storm and go?" she asked.

"I think that's best," said the Professor as he wheeled

out, Jean followed him, knowing the Professor would call
for the others through his mind.

It was not long before they were joined.

"Storm, Cyclops we are going on a little trip to England to

collect a mutant" said Xavier.

"Can't he wait until the next year?" she asked, frowning.

Everyone that was due to join the school had joined.

"He is too powerful, if he doesn't get control over his

powers soon he will loose control over it, this would be
bad for us. He is in a lot of pain if he is able to call for us
from here" said the Professor.
"We should go right away then" said Storm.

"Shall I pack some things?" asked Jean she was the

doctor at the school.

"Yes," said the Professor.

They were all on their way before they knew it, no one
worried that the others were gone. They all knew that
they could look after themselves, and the school
continued on wondering what was happening.

-----------------------

They took their plane to England making sure it was near

to where they wanted to go. Being closer Jean and
Charles could hear the cries much more now. They were
both telepathic this mutant could be a telepathic or was
just able to communicate with them. It would not be
known until they actually speak to the child.
"Come on" said Xavier wheeling out of their plane.

"How much further?" asked Storm, hating the odd looks

she was receiving from the people around her.

"Not long now" said Charles as they continued.

"Wait, this child is abused, for his abilities I can smell

the hate and fear coming from those living here. Perhaps
we should not bother them until we know for sure" said
Jean.

"Very well" said Charles as they got to number four

Privet Drive.

Opening the door, they found the cried of help were

coming from a cupboard. They all looked angry, when they
all realized what was happening. Opening the door they
found the child they were looking for, Jean felt his head,
and said,
"We need to get him back now, he needs medical
attention" said Jean looking concerned.

"Very well, get the child and we will be gone" said Xavier.

Thank you Jessica for editing this! your a great gal! and
help hehe

chapter 2

When Jean had gotten Harry back, she had been

shocked, at the amount of damage done to the little boy
lying limp on the bed. It took ages to heal the little one,
even with all her mutant powers. She was the best in the
area at healing, which was why she was the doctor
obviously. It took her a good while to get everything
fixed, which included his broken bones and open wounds
all over his body. The bruises would have to fade in time;
hopefully, he would not wake until most of them were
gone. It would hurt like hell, they did not know he had,
had worse in his small life.

He was asleep for two weeks, Jean making sure of that,

it was much better for the wee one. Harry was far too
small for the age they estimated him to be, they knew
nothing about him. They had lots to learn, they didn't
even know what kind of mutant powers he had or
anything. The professors were all worried about him, but
he was making a full recovery according to Jean.

Harry woke up feeling much better than he ever

remembered. Opening his eyes he gasped, where on earth
he was. It was certainly was not a hospital even though it
was a hospital looking bed. He grimaced when he saw that
a needle was still in his arm, his green eyes roamed the
room looking and taking everything in. he didn't dare
move he didn't know where he was or whom he was with.

"Ah your awake, good it's nice to meet you, my name is

Jean" said Jean smiling as she walked into the room.

"Hello, I'm Harry" said Harry shyly looking down.

"Well Harry, now you are awake lets get you up and about
and I will take you too see the professor" said Jean
making him lie back down again. Before she flicked her
hand and took the needle out fast and painless.

"Professor?" asked Harry his big green eyes wide with

confusion.

"A teacher Harry, that's their titles" said Jean realizing

the little boy didn't understand.

"Title?" asked Harry again looking as if he had lost track

of the conversation.

"My title is Dr. Jean Grey. Your name is Harry that's a

title" said Jean.

"Oh title is a name" said Harry his wide eyes now taking
in something new he had just learned.
"That's right Harry, now lets go, can you walk?" asked
Jean looking concerned.

"Let me down please" said Harry politely.

Jean lifted him up and then put him on the ground,

making sure she had a grip on him so if he did fall she
could catch him. He was wobbly on his legs for a good five
seconds before he got used to it. There were still some
sores on his leg and arm as well as back but they would
heal in time.

They walked through the halls, Harry looking at the suits

and metal doors that seem to move on their own,
automatic doors. With huge X's on them, he could not
take everything in. then suddenly they went through
another door and the place seemed to turn into a school.
Frowning in confusion he didn't say anything, he didn't
want to be beaten for asking questions he was lucky he
had not been yet.
"Here we are Harry, just in here" said Jean taking him
through.

"Ah so he is awake is he, hello my name is Professor

Charles Xavier welcome to our school for mutants" said
the teacher wheeling around to see the little boy
properly.

"Mutant?" asked Harry looking confused.

"Harry you see a Mutant is a person with special powers,"

said Jean looking down at the boy.

"I don't have powers, I'm just a freak" said Harry

stopping the hope that he felt. His green solemn eyes
looked into the teachers; the man was stunned that the
boy really thought he was a freak.

"No your not a freak Harry, your family were scared of

who and what you were. You did nothing to deserve what
they did to you, now Harry I need to ask something of
you" said Xavier.

"Yes sir?" asked Harry looking fearful.

"I would like to look into your mind" said Professor

"You want to cut me open?" asked Harry looking

petrified.

"No Harry, my special gift is being able to look into and

read minds. Would you let me?" he asked. He needed to
know all about Harry and who he was. He had a feeling
Harry did not

'Don't worry Harry I wont hurt you' said Xavier in

Harry's mind.

"Yes" stuttered Harry knowing he didn't have a choice,

the man would just force him. Plus the man didn't seem
like he wanted to hurt him-yet.
"Thank you" said Xavier.

He put his hands on Harry's closing his eyes the

memories from when he was just born until that very last
night he remembered played through his head.

"You are going to be really powerful one day Harry, I

want to help you, what is your age?" said Xavier still
slightly stunned at what he had just seen in the young
boy's mind.

"Eight" replied Harry unable to believe the man was being

nice to him

"What did you see?" asked Jean feeling the man's

stunned shocked feelings.

"Harry here is a powerful person, and is the first wizard

to have Mutant powers in the world." said Xavier.
"Wizard?" asked Harry looking scared and confused.

"That's right Harry, magical powers that can be

harnessed by a wand. Our Mutant powers are not
harnessed by a wand; our powers come because will them
too. You however, have more than one mutant power.
Possibly the first Mutant to have more than multiply
powers" said Xavier.

Gasps rang around the room, more than two or three

powers? It was unheard of, Mutants usually only has one
or two powers. The gasps turned into looks of awe when
they realized just how powerful this young child was.

"I don't have powers I'm just a freak" said Harry trying
to convince himself he was nothing and nobody special.

"You saw the memories too Harry, you saw yourself using
your wizard powers and your parents using magic with
wands, Wizards. Then later in life you used some of your
Mutant powers" said Xavier.

"What if it's just wizarding magic and not Mutant magic?

How do we know he is a Mutant?" asked Cyclops.

"Because he will be like me only so much more powerful

one day, or should I say like Jean. Jean here can read
minds and can feel emotions, so will young Harry but he
will be so much better than any Mutant in history. There
are also Mutant powers there that have never been
unleashed." said Xavier.

"What are they?" asked Storm.

"We won't know until its time for them to come, to

unleash it will be most likely when he is ready to be able
to handle them.

"That's weird because a Mutant always has their powers

it doesn't just spontaneously come, or unleash" said Jean.
"I know that has me stumped but the only reason I can
see is that it's just not ready to be used" said Xavier.

"Or something or someone is blocking it," said Jean,

Xavier had just given Jean Harry's memories.

"What do you mean you can't block a Mutants power" said

Cyclops confused.

"There is no known way here, but in the Wizarding world

there must be, otherwise why is the Mutant power not
active? There may even be some of his wizarding powers
stuck there" said Jean.

"I think you may be right, but why would this man
Dumbledore want to stop this child's power?" asked
Xavier looking angry and confused.

"I don't know, perhaps because he was going to a Human

area?" asked Jean. They were Mutants they called normal
people Human's, instead of Muggles (Which they were
called in the Wizarding world.)

"That's still no reason to bind or block someone's power"

said Xavier still angry no longer confused.

"I'm not saying what he did was right, but I'm sure he
has a reason. Which we will probably not find out, what
we need to do is concentrate on the child and help him
control his Mutant powers, perhaps along the way he will
learn to control his Wizarding magic!" said Jean.

"Harry would you like to stay here, and learn how to use
your special gifts? Come to classes and meet new people,
and make friends?" asked Xavier agreeing with Jean.

"My Aunt and Uncle will want me back" said the small boy,
who could no longer suppress the hopeful feelings that
rose.

"Harry your Aunt and Uncle will never find you; they
cannot get you here, you are safe. This is a safe place for
Mutants to learn to control their gifts, you have some
amazing gifts and we would love it if you would come and
learn, let us teach you" said Jean she was getting fond of
the boy.

"I won't have to leave?" asked Harry timidly.

"No, Never" said Jean meaning it from the bottom of her

heart.

"Promise" said the small boy.

"I promise" said Jean, but what happened next stunned

them all, magic swirled around the room engulfing Jean
and Harry. Cyclops, Storm and Xavier was stunned the
magic was unlike anything they had ever felt before. Jean
and Harry were both alright, but they were unsure about
what had happened.

"Ok," said Harry excitedly a small smile on his face, he

was never going back to the Dursley's. The woman, Jean
would never let him go back, and his Aunt and Uncle could
not find him. His cousin would never again hurt him; he
would make them all proud. However, he still doubted he
was powerful he no longer doubted he had magic after
that display who could deny it?

Thanks Jessica for editing this

Chapter 3

The next year was tough for both the staff and the little
boy, they now all knew was Harry. He still had not
believed in himself, thus his magic didn't react; he
needed to believe he could do it for to get any reaction.
He was too scared to get angry, which was what caused
accidental magic mostly.

Harry used to get scared at loud noises and voices, the

students were amazing though. The teachers had to leave
classes to help Harry, but at first it was only Jean that
could calm him. Only she really knew why, it was because
she had a good resemblance to Lily Potter, he had felt
safe with her, so she assumed he felt safe with her
because of it. She was not to sure though, perhaps Harry
really did just like her better than the others.

However, the worst was at night, he shared a room with

other boys, they had decided to make him stay there
immediately, because he needed to get used to it. He
woke up screaming every night, scared and sobbing, the
other students grumbled about it but didn't say anything,
fearing that they would hurt the boy. Once the students
had gotten their sleep they felt bad, they didn't
understand really what the little boy had gone through.
Jean had probably spent many nights with Harry curled
around him, in Harry's bed of course.

It didn't last long; they had soon learned talking to him in

soothing manners, and telling him fairytale and magical
tales or real story's about life as mutants. So the
students all knew about the little boy, they could not
have not told them. Otherwise they may not have helped
as much, but they did, soon the teachers didn't have to
move at all. The students could handle him ever well, even
at night, for the first year he crawled into the older
mutant's beds at night.

He got on well with Bobby, a boy who could freeze

anything and of course with ice. It was probably Harry's
favorite mutant too, being able to make anything with ice,
like ice sculptures and all the rest of it. He remembered
when Bobby made him a small miniature teddy bear. He
had giggled at that, and had wanted to change it so the
bear was wearing clothes and just like him. Then suddenly
the ice chanced, there was a small lightning bolt on the
teddy and it was wearing miniature clothes. That was
what truly set Harry's powers free, deep down the
teachers new if it had not been for Bobby, Harry may
have never truly believed in himself.

The teachers had been chuffed to bits, and Harry was

pleased, after that there was no stopping him. He
advanced from there, quicker than any student to walk
the halls. However, Jean and Xavier were probably the
most proud there, almost like proud parents.
They were like parents to Harry, if Harry needed anyone
it was Charles or Jean he went to. If he wanted to learn
something, it was Charles and Jean he went to, if he was
curious it was Xavier and Jean he went to.

Charles Xavier and Jean did have him the most, but for
most part he was learning new things. He was great for
someone only at Mutant school a year; it suited the
teacher's just fine.

Probably the most noticeable difference in Harry was

that Harry had gotten really tall. Getting proper food
into him and eating healthy unlike any other child,
drinking milk and other good stuff for you. They could
say that he was taller than any child at the age of nine.
Speaking of nine, he had recently had his second ever
birthday party, the first one with his parents, and the
second this year.

They also celebrated that Harry had been at Mutant

school a year, the students didn't go home. They stayed
there, however, Bobby went home, his family loved him
and though he went to school for the gifted. They didn't
know he could freeze things or anything of the sort.

Harry had been disappointed that his friend or sort of

mentor was not there for his birthday. It was all
forgotten when he saw the crowd, and dare he say the
presents, and the enormous cake in the background. It
had been the best day in Harry's life, and could not help
but think again, he was glad he had been saved. For no
one else had saved the hero when he was in need of being
saved.

Yes he knew he was a hero, having the power to read

people's mind was not as good and nice as people would
think. He had unintentionally gone into the mind of a
Wizard, and had found out what had been happening in
the wizarding world. He guessed it was his curiosity
about the world that led him to actually being able to
read the wizard's mind.

After that incident he had had to take meditation

lessons, Storm was the one who taught him. Helping him
by creating a sort of sound, like waves crashing of rocks
and that. It was a soothing sound, and he got though the
classes no bother, this had been when he was eleven
years old. Also he had commented on how easy it was to
actually get in, that had them teaching him how to clear
his mind and stop anyone getting in.

----------------------------------------
Hogwarts---------------------

"Harry Potter" shouted McGonagall as he was the next on

the line.

Albus Dumbledore sat up straighter, paying more

attention to the sorting feast all of a sudden. Severus
Snape scowled, probably thinking another Potter.

"Harry Potter" she shouted once more when no one came

Still, silence reined the great hall.

They knew that Harry was supposed to show up, thanks

to the look on Dumbledore's face. He looked worried and
scared, McGonagall looked flustered and even Severus
Snape had a look on his face. It was hard to determine
what the emotion was though.

"Moving" said Dumbledore, suddenly wanting the feast

over with so he could go and fetch the boy himself.
Wondering what could have happened that the boy was
not there. Could it have been the fact that he had
blocked too much of the boy's magic? No it could not be
that, he would find out in an hour or so.

Blaise walked up, he was the only one left, before

McGonagall could shout his name. Putting the hat on it
shouted "SLYTHERIN" before the boy joined his new
class mates.

"Minerva, Severus come" said Dumbledore making his way

out of the great hall.

Severus scowled, and followed resultantly, Minerva was

following Dumbledore in an instant, worried about their
precious Savior. As they made their way out of the
school, Dumbledore muttered, "What has he gotten
himself into?"

"Doesn't want to take the train like everyone else,

probably used to being waited on hand and foot" snapped
Severus.

"He lives with Muggles Severus, to them Harry is not a

Savior" said McGonagall shaking her head.

"Yes, but they were told, I'm sure Albus added how
important he was in the letter that was sent" sneered
Severus.

"Actually Severus I told them nothing, just that his

parents had died by a madman" said Dumbledore eyes
twinkling in triumph.

"Why?" asked Severus confused, Dumbledore was up to

something he wanted to know what it was.
"Because I left him there so he would not be spoiled
Severus" said Dumbledore, Severus caught a glimmer of
pleasure in Dumbledore's eyes. His eyes widened, what on
earth had the old man done?

Severus however, didn't say a thing, he knew better than

too, he had realized as soon as he crossed over,
Dumbledore was as manipulative as Voldemort. However,
at least Dumbledore let him play with his potions, and
didn't use the Cruciatus curse on him.

They found themselves in Privet Drive before they knew

it, too soon for Severus' liking.

"The wards are down" said a shocked Dumbledore.

"What does that mean?" asked a worried McGonagall

wand out.

"Only one way to find out" said Dumbledore his wand was
drawn too, Severus had his ready as well, just not as
noticeable as Dumbledore's or McGonagall's.

'Knock' 'Knock'

"Coming," yelled a woman's voice, as soon as she opened

the door; "You" was all she said before slamming the door
in their faces. She knew they were Wizards immediately;
it had been McGonagall that had come to their home
when she and Lily had been children. It was McGonagall
that had introduced Lily to the wonders of the Magical
world.

"Alohamora" said Dumbledore frowning.

"GET OUT OF MY HOUSE" yelled an angry man, who was

really fat, and looked purple in the face.

"We will leave, as soon as you get Harry for us" said
Dumbledore as pleasant as ever.
"Your too late, the brat is gone, and probably dead, and
good riddance I say!" said Vernon angrily.

"What do you mean?" boomed Dumbledore, looking

seriously pissed off, his plans had backfired big time.

"The brat is gone! Are you deaf, now leave my home"

shouted Vernon, if the group had been nearer they would
have been deafened and spat on.

"Severus, Veritaserum please, stupefy" yelled

Dumbledore levitating the huge man to the couch.

"My pleasure," he didn't want to be in the company of a

fat Muggle all night, an unpleasant Muggle at that, not
that he liked any Muggles or anything.

"Stop it! Get your magic of my husband" shrieked Petunia.

However, she found herself stunned as well. Severus put

three drops of the liquid into the obese Muggles mouth.
Severus then spelled the man awake, he could not move
because of the affect the Veritaserum was having on him.

"Where is Harry Potter," asked Severus sounding bored.

"I don't know," said Vernon.

"When was the last time you seen him?" he then

questioned.

"Last time I did was when he was eight, when Petunia

tried to get him up from the cupboard the next morning
he was gone, probably disintegrated into the night like
you people do" said Vernon.

"Cupboard?" asked Severus frowning.

"That's where the nasty brat slept, we put a roof over

his head, and gave him some of our precious food and
that's the thanks we get by the nasty brat dying, he
should still be making out breakfast" said Vernon.

"Your breakfast, an eight year old cooked breakfast?"

asked Severus appalled.

"He has been cooking since he was five," said Vernon.

"Why?" asked Severus angry now, how dare they treat a

wizard like that.

"Because he had to repay us for the roof under his head,"

said Vernon.

"What else did you make him do?" asked Severus.

"He did the garden, and all the house hold chores, no
point in my Petunia doing them when we have a useless
worthless brat that can do everything" said Vernon.
"All house hold chores he is only eight" snapped Severus
shaking angrily.

"Yes, and if he didn't do them I would beat him to hell

and back, he made lovely noise when he screamed," said
Vernon he could not stop himself, he was under a truth
potion that even got your thoughts from your head.

"Oh god, I'm going to be sick" heaved McGonagall, really

wishing she had protested more against the little boy
going here.

"How did you beat him?" asked Severus, hoping it was

just an occasional slap or kick just like his father had
done to him. Nothing however, not even all his years as a
Death Eater prepared him for this answer.

"Usually beat him with my feet until he was bleeding and

begging for me to stop, I didn't usually stop until I broke
something. But I cannot break his legs such a shame, he
needed to do his chores. It was great watching him go
around holding his broken ribs, my son loved to push him
into walls and things too. The belt is the most satisfying,
the buckle side" said Vernon.

Even this detailed description had Severus nearly puking

his guts, the hate he felt for James Potter's son, Harry
Potter vanished almost immediately. He could not hate an
abused boy; he would not hate an abused boy. He would
not torment an abused boy, who would probably be
nothing like James Potter.

"Lets get out of here, there is no more use for us here"

said Dumbledore, his eyes were not twinkling, but there
was satisfaction deep within his eyes, also fear. Fear that
he might never find Harry Potter, who seemed to have
vanished.

"Are you going to let them off with what they have
done?" asked McGonagall looking angry, her lips pursed
together.

"We cannot let the Public know that Harry Potter is

missing, the only person that will know is the Order and
the Minister of Magic," said Dumbledore authority
covering his voice.

"Very well" said McGonagall through pursed lips, it was

obvious she disagreed with Dumbledore, and it was also
apparent she would not talk to him for a long time.

Severus silently left; he had seen the fear and

satisfaction in the old man's eyes. However, what he had
happen to Harry Potter was way beyond his imagination.
Swallowing the lump in his throat, there was nothing he
hated more was people who abused children. He also knew
Voldemort would be back, otherwise the mark would be
gone, if Voldemort died that is.

He silently prayed that Dumbledore would not find the

boy, but the boy would remain safe if he was alive. He
knew Dumbledore would use him, mold him into his
expectations. Harry who would probably latch to the first
person he met for love, that was probably what
Dumbledore had planned all along.
----------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------0

What do you think of the story? will Dumbledore ever

find Harry? should it be Harry that finds Severus? and
Severus realizes who it is? shall Severus find out and
keep it a secret, distracting Dumbledore so he never
finds out? will Harry officially join the school for
mutants when he turns eleven? will they manage to
unblock Harry's power after what Dumbledore did? will I
have Wolverine and Rouge in this story? will I have Harry
help her control her power so she can touch people? only
using it when she wills it? doing something no mutant has
ever been able to do? R&R please! tell me what you think.

Thanks for reading, again sorry for taking it down,

Chapter 4

"Harry come here please" asked Xavier interrupting the

class, he looked angry for some reason. Harry frowned,
wondering what was going on, sighing softly he got up and
walked with the person he thought of as a father.

"Come on in Harry" said Xavier once they had gotten to

the headmaster's office.

"What is the matter?" asked Harry he was not timid as

he was when he arrived sitting down he noticed Jane and
storm were in the room.

"Harry, do you want to go to the Wizard school?" asked

Xavier.

"No, why do you ask?" asked Harry confused.

"Well you declined to join the Mutant school; we sent the
letter to you wanting you to sign it. It came back funnily
enough by owl saying you didn't want to join the school
properly" said Xavier.

"I don't know how, I've not signed anything" said Harry
his eyes wide, if he didn't then who had was all he could
think.

"Here" said Xavier handing over the paper.

"This is not my handwriting, and it's not my magical

signature that's on it! It's the one that was around my
home when I was little," said Harry looking at the paper
he could see magical signature unlike the other mutants.

"Dumbledore guy then" said Jane looking angry.

"How dare he write for someone? That's not right! It

even has the signature on it!" snapped Storm angry as the
sky outside turned a dark color.
"Calm down, it's not right, I have a feeling if we had not
gotten you, you would never have known about the Mutant
school" said Xavier frowning.

"Can I get a new one, I do want to come here, I already

am here," said Harry looking hopeful.

"Yes Harry. Don't worry we were not going to stop you

from coming. We had at first thought you really had just
not wanted to come. However, now we know differently I
will give you another acceptance letter, here" said Xavier
handing over paper, which was obviously an acceptance
letter.

"Thank you" said Harry looking angrier that someone

dared write his acceptance form and send it back.

"This one will be null and void as soon as you sign that one
so doesn't worry" said Jean watching Harry who was
angry.
"Good, I'm not happy with that man, how dare he block
most of my magic and sign things that are mine," said
Harry.

"But why did it go to Dumbledore and not you?" asked

Storm.

"I don't know," said Harry closing his eyes he reached

deep into his magical core and thought to myself.

"Anything addressed to me will come directly to me,

nobody else".

"Do you think it worked?" asked Jean when Harry opened

his eyes.

"I don't know, and if its wizard magic I doubt it" said
Harry. Unaware that the spell Dumbledore had making
Harry's mail come to him, frizzle and disappear.
Signing of the acceptance letter, he handed it to Xavier
in satisfaction. He could hardly believe how close he had
been to loosing his place as a Mutant just because of that
man. He hoped he never crossed path with the man,
otherwise he would kill him. He loved it here, with Jean
and Xavier as his mentor's and secretly his parents.

"Harry Potter is missing" said Dumbledore sighing softly

he had just placed a silencing spell around the Ministers
office.

"How on earth did that happen?" asked Fudge looking

panicked.

"He ran away when he was eight" said Dumbledore softly.

"The little brat! And did he answer his Hogwarts letter?"

asked Fudge.
"Yes, he just didn't arrive" said Dumbledore.

"Did you send someone to get his school things?" asked

Fudge.

"Unfortunately not, but he should know because Petunia

had to go with Lily when she went to Hogwarts. She
should know the way, they didn't report him missing
fearing Squibs and Wizards may get the Muggle
newspaper" Lied Dumbledore.

"Yes that's sensible, otherwise people would know

already, good she is obviously not stupid. How on earth
are we going to find the boy?" asked Fudge looking tense.

"I don't know, I will look for him, but we must reassure
the people that nothing is wrong. The whole school aren't
daft we were all surprised when Harry didn't come. I
think I will just say something like this Aunt is ill and he
wants to stay with her. There are many Muggle illnesses
hopefully we will have him in a few months. I have
tracking spells on him as well, so nothing to worry about
I'm sure" said Dumbledore.

"Good, let's just hope they haven't faded, with any wards
where are you going to put him?" asked Fudge.

"Well the Weasley's will probably befriend him, so I will

put him there" said Dumbledore.

"Hm…good light family I suppose," said Fudge nodding his

head. Letting the headmaster deal with everything, and
plus if the boy doesn't turn up he can pin everything on
Dumbledore. He had after all not known where the
headmaster had put the boy.

"Yes, now excuse me I have children to deal with" said

Dumbledore getting out of the chair.

"Yes, yes good day Albus" said Fudge, as Dumbledore left.

"Argh!" said Harry clutching his head in pain.

"Harry are you alright?" asked one of the students.

"Move aside" said Storm as she got to Harry.

"Harry what's the matter" asked Storm.

"I need to see the headmaster" said Harry, reminding

himself he was officially in school now he could no longer
call them Xavier nor Charles even Jean because they
were officially teachers and he didn't want to disrespect
them.

"Very well, class continue what you are doing, no using

your powers and no fighting" said Storm as she helped
Harry to the headmasters office.
-----------0

"Harry what is the matter?" asked Xavier.

"Someone was calling for help, it hurt I even know where

they are!" said Harry moaning in pain.

"Clear your mind, welcome the presence of help into your

mind, don't try and shut it out, it won't be loud trust me"
said Xavier soothingly as Harry began calming down.

"Thank you" said Harry sighing softly god, he thought he

had been going insane there.

"Your welcome, now tell me everything" he said. He was

always willing to help someone in need.

"Well there is two people in need of help, one is being

attacked and the other is stuck in a car, they are in the
same area, there is a Mutant there, he has the Aura of a
saber-toothed tiger" said Harry.

"Sabertooth." said Storm and Xavier at the same time.

"Harry stay here, Storm get Cyclops immediately and go

and help you will be able to sense them yourself" said
Xavier.

"Cant I go?" asked Harry.

"Fine you and I will go with them, I wont let one of my

students getting hurt" said Xavier, he could not deny
Harry anything, but also knew not to worry for Harry
could protect himself.

Plus of what they knew, they knew that Harry would be a

powerful, wonderful fair leader. Of which magical world
was the question, Mutant or Wizards, the two worlds
would fight over Harry in the end.
He would need experience as well as confidence that he
could be a leader, and what better way than to see
himself helping people. This was perhaps the first step of
Harry being who he truly was and what he was meant to
be.

----------------------0

"Hang on" Storm said, Cyclops, Xavier and Harry all held
on, Harry wondering what she was doing.

He found himself, high in the air, the air rippling around

them, guiding them to where ever they wanted to go.
Mist settling around them so they were not seen, they
didn't want their Mutant powers being found out.

They were landing within minutes, just as Harry was

beginning to enjoy being in the air. He found himself at a
battle sight, seeing a man being hurt by another one he
put his hand out, a blast of fire cascaded out. Hitting the
man straight in the chest, he went flying right into the
woods, a fire started up in the woods, it seemed like the
man was more than likely dead.

Harry was amazed to see that claws were in the man's

hand, even more so when he suddenly saw them go back
into the skin. He had never seen a Mutant ability like
that, he looked like he could take care of himself. He
wondered vaguely if it had hurt when he took them out.

Harry then spotted someone struggling in the car,

running he grabbed Cyclops along with him.

"It's ok." said Harry as a girl looked at them in fright.

Cyclops burned the seatbelt away, Harry had grabbed her

bare hand, and suddenly Harry felt himself weakening,
screaming in pain, he fell unconscious. Storm quickly
grabbed the girl she had gloves on so it didn't affect
her. Cyclops grabbed Harry and they ran for cover.

Xavier had stayed next to the man, who was healing

rapidly, and was soon better. Xavier knew immediately
this was a Mutant, when he heard Harry screaming he
wheeled over as quickly as he could. Wolverine quickly
went over to the girl.

"What happened?" asked Xavier.

"I'm sorry I didn't mean to!" said Rouge hysterical.

"She said earlier that when someone touches her

something funny happens" said Wolverine looking down at
the kid with concern.

"I see, get Harry to Jean, lets get out of here" said
Xavier.

Thank you jessica for editing this you rock girl!!

Chapter 5
Harry stayed unconscious for three days; they didn't
know what was wrong with him. They didn't understand
he had magical exhaustion, but they did understand that
the girl had nearly killed him. Not that they blamed her,
far from it they knew Harry would go nuts if they did. No
they didn't blame her but they were really worried about
Harry, but his life reserves were doing fine as well as
nothing really being wrong with him.

"Harry are you alright?" asked a concerned voice as he

woke up.

"Jean?" groaned Harry curiously.

"Yes Harry, are you ok?" she said repeatedly.

"Fine, just feel really knackered like I've not slept in

weeks, and my magic feels different, what happened?"
asked Harry looking quite worried. Mostly because he was
scared he had done something to someone.
"If you can get up we will go to Charles office, discuss it
there, Rouge will be there too" said Jean.

"Rouge?" asked Harry confused.

"The girl's name, the one you rescued" said Jean shaking
her head; she kept forgetting that he had been asleep.

"Oh, help me then, I should be fine in a few minutes" said

Harry getting up once again of the hospital wing bed.
They were very uncomfortable, and wished he could make
them more comfy but for some reason, no one seemed to
want too.

"Ah Harry you are here good, Harry this is Rouge, Rouge
this is Harry" said Charles as he sat at his desk.
"You really need to learn to control your powers
otherwise you will hurt someone. It's a very unusual gift
you have you know" said Harry softly.

"Ah Harry, no one can control powers such as Rouge has,

I am afraid" said Charles softly sadness in his eyes.

"Yes it can, just like everyone else's powers, you said the
same about the girl that creates shockwaves, now look at
her, she can clap her hands without shockwaves coming
out" said Harry looking determined.

"This is a completely different thing Harry" said Charles

knowing Harry would not understand until he tried it for
himself.

"No its not, everyone can control their powers, there is

no such thing as not being able to control your power.
Unless you are too powerful for your body to handle, but
she is meant to have this power, and she has an amazing
gift if she harnesses it. She would be able to take
someone else's gift without harming them and use it as
her own temporary. Not only that but she freed some of
my mutant abilities; if I can teach her to control it then
she may be able to help me. She is above class three! And
I will see her harness and control that magic" said Harry
determined.

"I see" said Charles curiously.

"You can sense mutants and their abilities?" asked

Charles looking exited.

"Yes, I'm not the only one, I know of another person but
she is only class two" said Harry softly.

"Who?" asked Jean curiously.

"Don't know; I just know I sense every mutant and their

abilities, not only that but I can feel wizards and witches
when they come close enough. I've only ever seen two but
anyway I can now put more concentration onto my mutant
abilities, they are more or less nearly unlocked" said
Harry.

"Very well Harry but I must ask you not to touch unless
one of the teachers are present this you must promise
me" said Charles.

"You think I would do something so stupid?" asked Harry

looking hurt.

"No Harry, he is just worried about you just like I am, I

would have made you promise if Charles hadn't" said Jean
softly scuffing Harry's hair.

"Oh, I'm sorry" said Harry sheepishly.

"Are all student and teachers like this?" asked Rouge.

"We are close yes, but not as close as this, the reason
for that is because Harry has been here since he was a
child. I'm afraid the rest is up to Harry if he wants to
tell you why he was here. Harry is almost like a son to us
both, Jean and I" said Charles.

Harry just blushed before finding the floor very

interesting.

"Oh, where is Logan?" asked Rouge curiously.

"Logan will be here with us in a minute" said Charles.

Logan came in looking around curiously; Harry had backed

behind Jane looking quite scared. Logan raised an eye
brow at the behavior; he didn't think he looked that
scary.

"What's wrong kid?" asked Logan curiously.

"Claws" was all Harry said, he could almost feel the very
metal running though Logan's veins.
"You mean these?" Asked Logan as the metal claws made
an appearance.

"Does it hurt?" asked Harry coming back out.

"Every damn time" said the man.

"You better be thankful you have healing abilities

otherwise you would have been gone along time ago. You
lost your memory as well didn't you? You can't remember
who you are." said Harry.

"Yes" said Logan impressed that a little boy knew so much

about him by looking.

"Your parents loved you, you never seemed to get hurt,

and you never came to the Professor's school because
you didn't have an ability that could be trained. Your dad
became a drunk, always hitting you and your mum, he
noticed when he hit you, and you healed. Only then did he
stop beating your mum and took it all out on you, your
mum didn't know, she never knew, she died thinking your
father would look after you. When you turned sixteen you
left, a bad man then turned you into a monster, using a
metal through out your entire body giving you claws.
Since then you have wandered from town to town in an
empty carriage trying to fit in, and be yourself" said
Harry.

"How do you know all this kid?" asked Logan looking in

pain.

"Harry you cannot tell him anymore, he needs to

remember on his own, I believe Harry has accidentally
gone down to your mind, almost at your unconsciousness
to get the memories. I'm sure you dream every night, but
they are most probably memories, memories that your
conscious mind has forgotten" said Charles softly.

"How did he get there in the first place!!" said Logan, he

didn't know any mutants could have that kind of power.

"I'm sorry I wont do it again, I have many abilities, I'm

also a wizard," said Harry.

"Wizard? As in magical wand waving story book wizards?"

scoffed Logan, remembering reading them when he was a
child.

Harry used his hand and levitated Logan from the floor,
before using a spell on him, changing his hair color to
Black.

"Now I believe you, good going kid not bad" said Logan
actually liking the color his hair was.

"How come you are allowing me to go here? Aren't I a

danger to the other students?" Asked Rouge who had
stayed silent listening to them.

"No, as long as you touch no one and wear gloves or

anything to avoid contact with everyone everything will go
fine" said Charles smiling happily at her.
"I will show you your room, if you follow me" said Jean.

"Hey Jean" said Cyclops softly.

Harry glared at the man, he didn't like the fact that

Cyclops was always after Jean, and she was his mum. She
didn't have time for boys, plus Cyclops was not right for
his mum, his mum deserved someone better, more special.

"Harry stop that!" said Jean seeing what Harry was

doing.

"Keep doing it kid" said Logan smirking; he didn't like

Cyclops much, seeing him faltering under the glare of a
child made his day.

----------------------------------------------------------------

Later that night Harry was asleep in bed, he groaned in

his sleep, tossing and turning. He was obviously having a
bad nightmare, he had his own room now being older and
all. This was his first night in his own room, and he was
not finding it as nice as he had first though.

--------Dream-------

"Quirrell where is the stone?" hissed the strange headed

creature.

"I do not know master, I cannot get the mirror to give it,
may I smash the mirror" asked the man cowering under
Voldemort's anger.

"No, you fool if that breaks it goes with my hope of

getting back. I need to get back before that Potter gets
older, I need to kill him before he kills me" hissed
Voldemort.

"Yes master" said Quirrell.

Eventually Quirrell managed to get the stone; his hearts
desire was not to have the stone. But to please his
master, to please someone who didn't think him a chicken
or unworthy. Someone who trusted him and wanted to
reward him with something no one else would be able to
give him.

The stone…

Quirrell had confused the mirror, and it had given

Voldemort his means back.

Quirrell was just about to do what he needed to do to

bring Voldemort back, but before he could green flashing
light blinding them was flung at Quirrell. Voldemort
screeched in pain and anger as well as loathing,
Dumbledore had wasted his plan. The stone had fallen
busting into one million tiny bits.

Voldemort's spirit took off before Dumbledore could

raise his wand again. Voldemort had taken a fleeting look
at Quirrell before leaving; he was dead, to the world.
------------End of dream-------------

"Harry what's the matter?" asked Logan softly shaking

the child away, he was screaming in his sleep. He had
been next door; having good hearing was such a curse
some times, specially having his sleep interrupted with
screaming.

"What's the matter?" asked Jean crashing into the room

looking worried.

"He is in pain and doesn't look like he is going to wake up

any time soon" said Logan softly still trying to wake the
child.

"Dumbledore never did have any good intentions towards

me," groaned Harry wakening up.

"What do you mean?" asked Jean confused.

"I've just had a vision…" said Harry.

"You're a seer?" asked Jean shocked.

"No, I think I have a connection to this man I was

supposed to have killed, I was able to get into
Dumbledore's mind fleetingly, he was thinking how it was
meant to be me there saving the world. He is angry
because he cannot find me, really angry and he killed a
man tonight," said Harry looking worried, if the man
wanted to kill him so much then why had he not killed him
when he was just a babe.

A Hero's cry

Thanks Jessica for editing this you rock gal!

Chapter 6

"Hey Harry" said rogue.

"Hello" said Harry smiling at his sister. Rogue had been
there for about three months now, Rogue had settled in
quite well, and Bobby and she were getting on well.

Harry was ecstatic with this, his brother and sister

getting on well. So was his mother and Wolverine,
everything was going great with Harry.

"Are you ready to try and server the block completely?"

asked Harry looking exited. He was now nearly twelve
years old and nearly on his second year at Xavier's school
well officially anyway.

"Are you sure you want to do that?" asked Rogue softly.

"Of course, now come on," said Harry holding his hands
out to her, he knew he would most likely be unconscious
for a while.

"Harry are you sure this is necessary?" Asked Charles

softly, he didn't like seeing the person he thought of as a
grand child in pain.

"Of course, the old man is the only person who can
remove them and I doubt he will. Even when he removed
them, I will still be in the same amount of pain. It's my
magical core expanding to fit all my magic" said Harry
softly.

"Very well" said Charles defeated.

Rogue softly attached her hands to Harry's it had taken

two whole months for her to learn to not hurt anyone
without hurting them. Harry had no idea what he had
done for Rogue; she can now actually hold her boyfriend's
hand. Without putting them into a coma, or hurting them.
It was pretty cool now; she could tap into anyone's magic
and use it without hurting them.

She then let her powers loose, she didn't like seeing
Harry in pain but she was doing it for him really. She
didn't like the thought of it exploding when it became
too much and possibly killing Harry. They all knew this
that was why they didn't put up too much of a fight.

Harry was moaning in pain, it was not long before he was

screaming in pain as the dame burst. His magic once again
free, his magical core expanding for the last of his magic
to be free.

Harry stayed in a coma for three months, it was a very

long time but he could not wake up until his body had fully
adjusted to all his magic. They all knew this, but it didn't
stop them from worrying every minute of the day.

However, things had been happening to distract them,

Charles' good friend had come back. However, he was not
a nice man; he had been treated horribly as a child and
had never really forgiven them for it. Charles had always
had hope that his old friend would come back. The friend
who helped builds his machine to find Mutants, carebro?

As time went on he realized; there was no hope for his

old friend Magneto. He could control Metal, he was above
class 3, and Mutants were classed according to their
powers. Magneto was really powerful so thus he was
above class 3; Magneto also wanted human's dead.
Charles could not have that; he liked humans even if
humans didn't fully understand them.

However, his decision was hard, very hard come to that,

remembering memory's of Harry's the old man. He
dreaded to think that he may become like that man; it
was a horrible thought indeed. However, he had a
decision to make, no one could make it for him…or so he
thought.

"What's happened?" asked Harry wakening up; he smelt

fear around the school.

"Come on let's go and speak to Charles" said Jean

knowing she couldn't and didn't want to lie to Harry.

Now Harry was alarmed.

--------------------------------------0

"What's going on?" Asked Harry sitting down facing

Charles Xavier.

"Well…Magneto is back and causing trouble, killing

people" said Charles; he had to tell Harry because he
knew for a fact that Magneto would want Harry.
Everyone knew of Harry's unbelievable powers. He was
the first Mutant to have more than perhaps three powers
that were unheard off.

"Magneto? Your friend?" Asked Harry wide eyed.

"Yes, he had a bad childhood, if he is not stopped, it will

cause a war between mutants and humans" said Harry.

"And we certainly can't let Voldemort and Magneto get

together, that would be total destruction. I have no
doubt that if Voldemort knew half of the Mutants would
have already been joined by now. We need rid of Magneto
before Voldemort comes back, which he isn't yet but I
don't know how long it is before he is back" said Harry.

Yes, Charles, Jean, Wolverine Rogue all knew who

Voldemort was; Harry had been in Voldemort's memories
and gotten some handy spells. More people than that
know of course, but that didn't matter right now.

"So what's the plan?" asked Charles, they didn't pretend

to be in charge, Harry was good at planning strategy. Also
good at deciding something for the best, it was a nice
change for Charles.

"Well…if you don't want him dead I guess I can just block
his Mutant genres. Or we go in for the kill and get rid of
him altogether" said Harry shrugging his shoulders either
way he didn't care.

"Best kill him and know it's over" said Wolverine.

"Yeah" said Jean nodding in agreement.

"Very well" said Charles knowing he would be
outnumbered. He silently prayed for forgiveness from his
old friend. For he didn't want this to happen, but knowing
it was Magneto's own fault for getting himself into this
situation.

"Ok," said Harry thinking on it.

"We have no way of getting to him; he has somehow

blocked my powers from his mind. I cannot sense him, he
must have built something to keep me out" said Charles
softly.

"You maybe cant but I should be able too, as you know

Wizard and Mutant abilities are different. I could try,"
said Harry.

"Very well" said Charles.

Harry closed his eyes, his eyes moving behind his closed
lids every second or so. He looked like he was meditating;
before they knew it his eyes snapped open looking
shocked.

"What's the matter?" asked Charles shocked.

"He's here! In one of the Mutant rooms, one of the

Mutants has betrayed us!" said Harry shocked.

"Who?" Asked Wolverine looking angry, it was surprising

his claws were not coming out.

"I don't know him well, but it's the boy with the fire
ability" said Harry.

"That's very disappointing but hardly surprising the boy

is above class 3 as well" said Charles looking really
disappointed that one of his students would even think of
wishing someone harm.
"Come on" said the others all running towards the room
they knew fire boy stayed in.

"We need a plan" said Charles knowing he would not be

able to help them.

"Wolverine stay away" shouted Harry as he ran up the

stairs.

"Why? You going to stop me kid?" asked Wolverine.

"No but are you forgetting Magneto controls metal?! He

could kill you no amount of healing will be able to piece
you together again." shouted Harry.

"Stay" said Jean wide eyed and scared at the very

thought.

"Fine" said Wolverine clearly not happy.

"Thank you" said Jean thankfully.

Cyclops looked on jealous; he had always liked Jean but

had never been with her. He had nearly succeeded until
that boy showed up, now Wolverine. Why did the boy like
Wolf boy and not him? He was way nicer looking. That
wolf boy was just a stupid kid, in an adult's body.

They quickly ran into the room, storm quickly used a whirl
wind to stop the fire balls hitting them. Cyclops quickly
used his only power to burn him, which he succeeded,
hurting himself in the progress he didn't use his power
very often.

Jean quickly entered Magneto's mind, stopping him in his

tracks from going near Harry. Both using their emotions
to quickly stop Magneto, Harry and Jean. Wolverine
quickly entered the room, and his claws came out, getting
Magneto in the gut.

Magneto screamed, both Jean and Harry retreated, and

watched as Magneto fell to the floor. It took a long time
for the powerful man to die, Harry felt sorry for the
man. However, he knew above all else what it was like to
have a bad childhood, but he had not let that make him
want revenge on everyone, every human. He didn't want
revenge on every wizard because of what Dumbledore
had done to him. Magneto had brought this on himself;
Harry was brought out of his musings when Jean hugged
him softly leading him from the room, leaving the others
to deal with the dead man and the traitor who had
betrayed them all well nearly.

"You were told to stay away" said Cyclops looking angry.

"Yes, you didn't think I would miss the fun did you?"
sneered Wolverine to Cyclops he was sick of the man
treating him like dirt.

"You should do as you're told," snapped Cyclops.

"Enough boys, you have enough to take care off" said

Storm softly towards Magneto.
That stopped them, grimacing they both nodded before
taking care of Magneto.

Chapter 7

Years had gone by now, Harry knew more about any magic
than anyone did. He was having the time of his life; he
was now even a teacher at Xavier's school for mutants.
Bobby and Rogue got together and now are engaged,
however, they had a cure for mutants. It was announced
on national TV.

"What are we going to do?" Asked Bobby stunned.

"We do nothing" said Charles.

"But we are not a disease! We cannot let them do this!
They will force that cure upon us!" said Harry wide eyed.

"At least you will be alright you have other magic" said
one of the students.

"I might not! This cure might lock away all my magic!" said
Harry pacing up and down.

"I hardly think that they are going to force mutants to

take the cure" said Charles frowning.

"They will then what will we do?" asked Harry angry.

"I will find out what I can" said Charles softly.

"Thank you" said Harry.

------------------Day's later---------------------
"Harry this is Dr. Hank McCoy" said Charles.

"Best known as beast" said Hank shaking Harry's hand.

"Nice to meet you, why am I here?" asked Harry

curiously.

"He knows about the cure Harry" said Charles.

"I see, what can you tell me about it?" asked Harry.

"I'm not allowed to discuss it" said Hank.

"Listen here! Mutants will start being forced to take the

cure! And we will be no more if you do not start speaking"
snapped Harry.

"They would do no such thing" snarled Beast.

"They will I have foreseen it, they will have everyone at
this school kidnapped and forced to take the cure. Then
before we know it everyone will be forced to take it and
mutation will no longer be" said Harry.

"They would never do that" said Hank wide eyed.

"They will," said Harry.

"He is telling the truth Hank, he has never lied before in

his life and will only do what is best for the mutant
world" said Charles softly. His eyes had widened upon
hearing that they would kidnap the children from the
school. It was supposed to be safe, how safe could it be
if they were kidnapped? He could not let it happen.

"All I know is they are getting the cure from a boy, who
can suppress mutant abilities. No mutant can go near him
without loosing their power, they don't even need to be
touching" said Hank.
"They are using his blood?" Asked Harry outraged.

"Yes" said Hank.

"Well where is he being kept" said Harry.

"In the safest place they could think of, the base" said
Hank.

"We need storm, as well as others this place needs

squashed to the ground" said Harry seriously.

"I won't allow you to hurt anyone" said Hank.

"Don't worry I wont, just anyone that knows about the

blood or the boy." said Harry his eyes flashing.

"Is that including me?" asked Hank his eyes turning dark.
"No, I trust you" said Harry shaking his head.

"Good" said Hank calming down.

"Get them together; I will go over everything tomorrow!

Now I have some planning and finding to do goodbye" said
Harry.

"I'm coming" said Beast.

"Fine." said Harry leaving.

"He's not very trusting" said Hank.

"No he's not especially with people he doesn't know, him

letting you go has told us he trusts you." said Charles.

"Hm…I suppose you are correct, are the rumors true?"

asked Hank curiously.

"Oh yes, they are very true" said Charles smiling.

"Amazing" said Hank seemingly impressed, very

impressed.

"Charles what is wrong with Harry?" asked Wolverine,

coming in.

"Wolf" said Beast.

"Fur bull" said Wolverine nodding his head Hanks way.

"He has some planning to do, everyone will be in here

early tomorrow morning" said Charles softly.

"Ok" said Wolverine nodding his head before going away

to tell everyone.
"Bye" said Charles as Wolverine went away.

"You got him to stay? How?" Hank asked surprised.

"I didn't, he seemed to have a soft spot for Harry" said

Charles smirking.

"Amazing, that man has never stayed in more than one

place before" said Hank impressed.

"Harry can have that affect on you" said Charles.

"So it seems" said Hank.

"Well thanks for the information, if what Harry said

comes to pass I don't know what I would do" said Charles
shaking his head.
"Me either" said Hank, he had accepted his mutant ability
now, even though he still grinded the furniture.

Chapter 8

Their journey to the base.

"Come on Harry wants us on the plane!" said Wolverine

running past Jean's room.

"What already?" she asked blinking in surprise.

"Yeah" said Wolverine smiling at the woman he loved.

"Let's go then" said Jean.

They ran towards the plane, which was already on and

looked ready to take of even without them. Getting on
they ran up the stairs until they saw Harry and the
others.

"We are here" said Jean when Harry didn't look up.

"Come on then lets get this thing moving" said Harry

strapping himself in, he was not controlling the plane of
course, just sitting down letting storm and the others
handle it.

"Your not going without me" said fur ball Hank McCoy.

"Why are you coming?" asked Harry surprised to see him.

"Family means more than a job" said Hank, and the

mutants are his family more than ever now. He did not
want too see the mutant abilities reduced to nothing.

Harry smiled at him nodding, five seconds later they

were ready for take off.
"Ok here is the plan, I will go for the boy, you stop
anyone else from getting in my way, even if you have to
fight the army" said Harry.

"What do you mean? Why can't we go for the boy? We

have way more experience than you" said Cyclops, he had
always been jealous of Harry.

"Because you only have mutant abilities which he will

suppress in touching distance of you, you would be no
better than a normal person. I have Wizarding abilities I
am the only one that can do it and stand a chance of
being able to fight" said Harry.

"That's true," said Hank nodding his head, this boy was
smart even he had not thought of that.

"Let's get going then" said Harry relaxing back into his
seat ready for the long journey.
"Yeah." said the other mumbling in agreement and they
were off. "Are you ready for this?" asked Harry five
hours later, they were finally landing at the Alcatraz
labs.

"Yes" said Hank smirking, it had been along time since he

had been able to unleash the beast within, so to speak.

"Defiantly" said Wolverine growling softly, it was obvious

he felt the same. They were both unleashing the
monsters and beasts within them.

"Keep safe," said Harry softly.

"Someone needs to come with you" said Jean concerned.

"Then you can" said Harry softly.

"Ok" said Jean smiling and nodding her head.

"Ok then lets do this!" said Harry.

"Storm, Cyclops Wolverine, round the front, Hank, Frost

Bite and Wall Walker will go around the back." said
Harry. He didn't know their names very well, of course he
knew bobby, but he liked calling him frost bite it was a
nick name for him. As for the wall walker, he didn't like
her, she was too close to Bobby for his liking. He just
hoped that Bobby would not leave his girlfriend for that
bitch.

The plane stopped; as soon as it did Harry turned himself

invisible, he was unsure if it was a Wizarding gift or a
Mutant gift. Shaking his head he started getting off the
ship, the others knew not to do anything unless someone
caught him. This then would mean he would have to set of
a big bang with his magic.

Making his way along the corridors he didn't know where

they kept the boy, he also didn't know how much longer
he could keep the invisibility going. It was causing his
magic levels to lower and he knew he would have to stop
the spell or risk not being able to get back out of this
building.

Sighing softly, he took the spell off hoping no one would

notice him, he was dodging in and out of rooms. Eventually
he found the boy's room twenty minutes later, walking in
the doors slid closed after he went in. The boy looked at
him in curiosity and fear.

"Who are you?" he asked.

"I'm Harry, would you like to get out of here?" asked

Harry.

"Yes!" said Jimmy, he was sick of needles being poked

into him, feeling weak when they took his blood. Most of
all he was sick of being in the same room with four white
walls and hardly anything to play with.

"Good lets go, and remember to be quiet" said Harry

grabbing a hold of the young man. He felt strange as he
did so, something had changed it was obviously his mutant
abilities had been locked away because of his
approximate of the young man who was clutching his hand.

"We will get in loads of trouble if we are seen," said

Jimmy fearfully he had already tried to escape when he
had he had guns pointed at his head.

"Then we mustn't be then right?" asked Harry letting the

sliding doors slide shut as they walked out of the room.

"No" said Jimmy, he was desperate to be out of there, he

just hoped this man knew what he was doing.

"Let's go" said Harry quickly dodging in and out of doors,

behind things when he saw people. Unfortunately he was
seen; the alarm was raised as was Harry's and the sound
of fighting and guns being shot before they knew it.

"Oh no!" said Jimmy looking petrified.

"Don't worry," said Harry quickly pulling the boy in
another direction.

"Harry!" said another girl.

"Wall walker!" said Harry sounding relieved.

"Let's go Jean is controlling them all she doesn't know

how long she will be able too" said the girl quickly running
in the opposite direction.

Harry ran at break neck speed and kept up with her, the
boy didn't have any trouble keeping up. Which was a
relief to Harry it would have taken forever if they had to
stop every five seconds when the boy kept on falling.

"We are here!" said Harry quickly bursting though the

door.

Guns began firing at them a mile a minute, Jean tried to

get out of Wolverine's grip to get to her son but she was
too knackered.

However, with the wall girl's fast thinking, she had them
all sunk into the ground and coming out beside Jean and
Wolverine.

"Harry! Are you alright?" asked Jean couching beside

him.

"Let me see the building" said Harry weakly.

"Why?" asked Jean curiously?

"Needs burnt down, and everyone in it" said Harry.

"It's impossible" said Jean.

"Storm, start a wind that keeps all doors and windows

shut to stop escapes" said Harry imagining the place on
fire.

Fire started up, all over the place instantaneously

"I thought mutant abilities didn't work with me near?"

asked Jimmy the leech in awe.

"They don't, apparently storm isn't all Mutant," said

Harry surprised and happy, having discovered something
new. He had forgotten about the boy being there, as had
storm when they began doing what had been said.

"Impossible" said Storm surprise written all over her

face.

"Obviously not, perhaps your mother was a witch? Or you

have a descendant that is one" said Harry softly.

"Come on lets get out of here!" said Hank his arm

guarding his face from the fire burning harshly in front
of them. No one could stop the fire it was magical, no
Muggle foam could anyway, it's too bad they didn't try
water because it would have gone out then.

"Lets!" said Harry quickly getting his wits together

getting the boy he quickly put him as far away from the
other mutants and sat down himself. He was not going to
let the boy sit by himself the entire journey. And to be
honest the boy looked tired, so he placed a blanket that
was on the plane over him, he was sleeping within minutes.
Finally safe once again from the people that poked and
prodded at him, and kept him in a room all day long.

"That was easier than I thought" said Harry relaxing

back.

"You were just about killed young man!" snapped Jean.

"Yeah but I wasn't so don't worry yourself, no one will

survive and no one will know anything about this stupid
cure!" said Harry satisfied.
"Actually the important people know, even the president"
said Hank.

"They don't any more" said Harry wishing their memories

away, and all information about the cure set alight. He
had no idea that he was using his wizard magic to
obliviate them and using the fire to burn the documents.
He thought he was simply using his mutant abilities, so he
would be in for a surprise when he found out what
abilities he had as a wizard.

"Good" said Hank taking the boy's word for it.

"I didn't get to do anything, there was no point in me

coming this wasted trip" snapped Cyclops once again
starting his pouting.

"Well next time we know not to bring you" said Harry

shaking his head he was so sick of Cyclops and the way he
was always acting to him and Wolverine, the stupid
jealous prick.

A Hero's cry

Chapter 9

A wizard in need of help

"That boy is amazing," said Logan he was still amazed

that this young boy could command an entire room. Not
only that everyone there seemed to respect him, which
didn't surprise him the boy was amazing.

"Indeed" said Xavier as he passed.

"Someone needs our help," said Harry.

"How do you know?" asked Cyclops, he had changed over

the past few weeks, finally Harry couldn't help but think
perhaps he has gotten over Jean and realized it was
futile trying to win her over. She loved Logan and that
was the end of it, Harry was thankful he hated Cyclops
acting like a spoiled child.

"I can feel it" said Harry softly.

"Does whoever it is know he's doing it?" asked Xavier

curiously; he had never asked that question before.

"No, he's too proud for that" said Harry.

"Proud? You act as though you know him!" said Jean,

blinking in surprise when her son said such a thing.

"I can feel his emotions, that's how I know he needs me,"
said Harry.

"How on earth can you feel these things?" asked Hank.

"I don't know, just do I guess" said Harry, he had given

up on questioning how he could do all these things himself
and let them come. Since then the had come along in
strides.

"When are you going?" asked Jean.

"And who's coming?" asked Logan.

"I'm going myself" said Harry.

"What no you are not young man!" cried Jean looking

ready to send Harry to his room. He had never gone
anywhere without her before, and it kind of scared her a
little.

"Log I might need your strength, I don't know what size

he or she is going to be! Or what age" said Harry.

"That's fine" said Jean grudgingly knowing that Logan

would look after her son.
"I'm going to use my magic to get us there
instantaneously" said Harry.

"Wow, how does that work?" said Logan looking nervous

he trusted Harry but using strange magic he didn't trust.

"Don't worry, nothing will happen to you, just close your

eyes and we will be there," shrugged Harry as if he was
passing the weather.

"I better come back in one piece" said Logan he meant it

as a joke, but it came out more serious than that.

"Don't come if you don't trust me" said Harry, hurt

appeared on his face for a second before it was gone.

"I do" said Wolverine immediately, he really did.

"What does he do?" asked Jean curiously.

"Just hold on to me," said Harry, looking at Logan rather
than his mother.

"I will apparate us back to the Hospital wing, don't have

anything ready I'm going to heal him" said Harry softly.

"Very well," said Jean, "Aren't you better doing it

somewhere comfortable?"

"Suppose, ok I'll just come back here, make a bed for

whoever comes" said Harry.

"Ok, now go" said Xavier, seeing how anxious Wolverine

was getting.

With a 'pop' they were both gone.

"I will get the bed" said Storm softly.

"I will get the sheets" said Jean and both left the room,
as quickly as possible knowing Harry would be back
before they could blink if he wanted too.

They were back in the room, a lovely make shift bed was
laying there for when whoever came could have a decent
rest. The blankets were warm thick ones, and would keep
a person warm. That's the best thing for sick people;
they didn't know what kind of state he or she would be
in.

---------------0

"Ok where are we at?" asked Logan looking around, and it

was bloody freezing cold.

"I think we are in the UK" said Harry.

"UK! We travelled half the way around the world in

seconds?" said Logan wide eyed.
"Yeah," said Harry anything he did no longer surprised
him anymore.

"Fucking hell, so where is this person?" asked Logan

deciding to concentrate on what they came there for.

"I cannot see him, or feel him...I don't know why" said
Harry, the said person was actually unconscious.

"Let's have a look." said Logan.

"I guess," said Harry frowning his magic had yet to let
him down, he didn't know what to feel about it right now.

They must have walked around for a good two hours,

looking for a sign, then suddenly Harry stopped his eyes
going closed.

"I can feel him now" said Harry.

"Can you lead us to him?" asked Logan curiously.

"Hold on again, he's a good bit away," said Harry.

Logan held on, trusting the magic more this time than the
last.

They apparated, right next to a black clad figure lying on

the ground. The robes ripped and torn, and blood pooling
around them. Turning the black clad figure over, the
realized this was a man, and he needed serious help.

"Can you lift him?" asked Harry he knew Wolverine had a

lot of strength.

"Yes," said Logan, despite his tallness he was actually

very skinny and light.

"Make sure both of you are holding on," said Harry, the
once again unconscious bundle groaned in pain.

When he was sure all three of them were holding on to

one another, they apparated away from Scotland and to
the beautiful sight of America.

----------0

"Where the hell have you been what took you so long?"
scolded Jean.

"Lay him down, I have to heal him" said Harry, he knew

this man was running out of time.

Logan did as he was told, putting the unconscious man on

the bed.

"Right let me though" said Harry, getting by the people in

the room and putting his hands on the man's chest. Harry
guided his magic out, coaxing it around the strangers, so
they could heal him. Thankfully the magic accepted and
together both magic's began healing the wounds.

Wound after wound closed, healing leaving nothing but

the blood behind to say that there had been any sort of
injury. What Harry didn't know as he was healing him, he
also cleansed his soul and body. The dark mark began
fading, no one would realize what had happened until this
man woke up.

"There, we need some clothes, wolverine could you get

some clothes for him? In fact go and have a shower and
that first," said Harry upon seeing the dried on blood on
Logan's cloths.

"Actually I think I will, I will see you all later" said Logan
leaving, Harry saw his mother wanted to go with him.

"Go mum, we will tell you if anything changes," said Harry

smirking, his mum hardly got any time with Logan to
herself.
"I'm proud of you son" said Xavier, watching the black
clad figure breathing in and out evenly obviously out of
danger.

"Thanks, dad" said Harry, yes he thought of Charles as

his father. He hardly called him dad; it was usually
Headmaster or Professor Xavier these days.

"Your welcome, now what do you know about him?" asked

Charles.

"Nothing," said Harry frowning.

"Wow," said Xavier, that's a first.

"His mind is closed," said Harry. "Much like mine".

"Even I cannot" said Xavier.

"It seems magic works better than mutant abilities" said
Harry.

"Excuse me?" asked Xavier insulted.

"Not all just some, people and some magic" said Harry.

"Indeed," said Xavier smiling he had known what Harry

had meant from the start, he hardly got to kid with his
son it was nice to be able to for once

Well there we go! so who will the black clad figure be? im
sure you all already know! so review for me! and goodbye!

A Hero's Cry

Chapter 10
Severus groaned, and a unfocused person came into view,
he couldnt help but think it looked like his enemy.
Groaning again he said "James Potter? I'm in hell".

"I'm not James Potter, I'm Harry" said Harry cocking his
head to the side in confusion.

Severus sat up abruptly, groaning but surprised he wasnt

in pain, even his potions couldn't make him as pain free as
this. "What did you give me?" asked Severus.

"I didnt give you anything," said Harry softly.

"How long have I been out of it?" asked an alaramed

Severus.

"Just a few days," said Harry quickly seeing the man

looking ready to panic.

"Then how did you heal me so much?" questioned Severus.

"I used my magic, its better than anything else i could
give you" said Harry unknowingly insulting the man.

Severus hissed in anger, Harry blinked in wonder.

"What's the matter?" frowned Harry confused.

"I make potions for a living, i have a mastery in potions,

and you just insulted me" snapped Severus.

"I'm sorry" said Harry, his face showing that he meant it.

Severus nodded curtly, accepting the appology.

"I'm Severus Snape, where am I" asked Severus, he

wanted out of there as quickly as possible.

"You are at the mutant school of magic." said Harry.

"You mean Mutants are real? and its not just a myth?"
asked a surprised Severus Snape.

"No its not a myth" said Harry smiling softly.

"Indeed" was all the man said.

"Are you in pain at all?" asked Harry.

"No I'm not, just stiff as if I've not used them in a long
time" said Severus.

"Come on then lets meet everyone else!" said Harry

taking Severus out of the room, right into another one
which was filled with people.

"Harry Potter! what do you think you are doing this man
shouldnt be up yet!" said Jean scoldingly.
Severus' eyes widened, thats why he only said his name
was Harry!

"He's fine.." protested Harry looking around at Severus.

However, Severus looked far from fine, he looked like he
had been stunned standing up.

"Sir?!" said Harry his hand waving back and forward

across Severus' face.

"Your Harry Potter?!" shouted Severus coming out of

whatever shock he had been in.

"Em...Yes, i just told you" said Harry slowly as if he was

speaking to someone slow.

"You said your name was Harry not Harry bloody Potter!"
snarled Severus.
"Do not talk to my son like that" said Jean coming in
front of him.

"Lily?!" gasped Severus, but shook his head, it wasnt but

she looked helluva lot like her.

"No I am Jean nice to meet you" said Jean holding her

hand out. Logan was behind her, and he growled letting
out his very long claws. He was really protective when it
came to Jean now, and Harry as well.

"Nice to meet you, I'm sorry about how I spoke to

your...son I'm just overwhelmed, we have been looking for
him for a very long time, over seven years" said Severus,
shaking her hand.

"Ah, so you are working with this Dumbledore man?"

asked Jean.

"Indeed" said Severus surprised at how much she knew.

"Well if you think you are taking Harry think again, I am
not letting my son near that monster again" snarled Jean
protectivly.

"I wont, Dumbledore is a manipulative bastard, I wouldn't

work for him if I had a choice" sighed Severus feeling
the need to sit down. Once Severus sat down everyone
relaxed and sat down as well, Jean on Logan's knee.

"Why? what has he got on you?" asked Harry curiously.

"He's keeping me out of Azkaban, I used to be a Death

Eater, someone evil or bad I joined thinking it was
something I belonged or I would have a family. I was a
fool, when Voldemort made me kill someone I changed
sides, all I could see was Lily when I hurt someone" said
Severus.

"Who is this Lily?" asked Xavier.

"Harry's mum" said Severus, the word rolled off his

tongue strangely.

"My mum was named Lily? so why did you call my mum Lily
just now then?" asked Harry confused.

"She looks really similar to your mother!" sighed Severus.

"Well stay here then, the wizarding world cant get you
here, otherwise they would have gotten me" said Harry
softly.

"Where exactly is here?" asked Severus softly.

"America" said Xavier soothingly.

"My God, no wonder no one can find you! they are still
looking every nook and cranny of the United Kingdom"
said Severus surprised.

Oh and thanks everyone for the amazing and encouraging

reviews :-P hopes to see more in the future.

Byeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Now on to the chapter!

Chapter 11

"You have to come back to the UK" said Severus.

"He most certainly will not!" snapped Jean pulling her son
away, scared in case any harm came to him. Forgetting
that Harry could very well protect himself.

"Are you willing to let millions of people die back home?

Just so you can stay here?" snapped Severus angrily.

"They are nothing to me" mumbled Harry.

"That's your mother's friends, father's friends and

everyone else you are condemning to death" said Severus.

"You will not speak to my son that way" snarled Jean the
anger radiating of her in waves.

"You would put that kind of burden on a child's

shoulders?" said Charles looking much like Dumbledore
looked at him all the time - pure and utter disgust and
anger.

"You don't understand! There's a prophecy about him!"

said Severus desperate for that man he didn't know to
stop judging him.

"A prophecy?" asked Charles calmly.

"Yes! The one with the power to defeat the dark lord,
born to those who have thrice defied him born as the
seventh month dies!" said Severus "I don't know the rest
of it but that's why Voldemort went after Harry in the
first place."

"So…who knows the whole prophecy?" asked Charles

already having a faint idea of who it was.
"Albus Dumbledore" sighed Severus.

"I see," said Charles his face closing of in anger.

"Then why would the man put spells on him to stop him
access his magic?" snapped Wolverine he had been filled
in on everything. Jean and Wolverine spend quite a lot of
time talking about Harry.

"What?" asked a white shaken Severus Snape looking

ready to pass out.

"Here sit down" said Harry coming and helping Severus

sit down in a comfortable chair.

"He took his magic away?" asked Severus fearful.

"Yes" said Charles.

"Merlin" said Severus looking years older.

"Why would he do such a thing? Unless of course he

wanted to loose?" asked Jean.

"I don't know" mumbled Severus he looked like he was

going to go into shock any minute.

"Look its ok, I managed to get my magic back" said Harry

hoping that would calm the man down.

"How is that possible?" asked Severus looking up at

Harry.

"A mutant has the ability to take your magic, and use it
as her own here she undid all the blocks I had on" said
Harry.

"All?" croaked Severus.

"Yeah, he put more than one, there was about three I
think" said Harry.

"Fuck me, I can't believe this! It took Dumbledore three

times to bind your magic?! That must mean your three
times powerful than him!" said Severus now awed.

"Does it? Oh" said Harry he didn't realize that he was

the most powerful being on the planet.

"No wonder it's said you can defeat Voldemort" said

Severus.

"How is that?" asked Jean.

"He's the most powerful wizard in the wizarding world,

he's three times more powerful than Albus Dumbledore."
said Severus still awed "That's amazing".
"We always knew he was powerful" said Jean.

"How did you get to him? He disappeared one night from

his aunts? Did you find him wandering America?" asked
Severus, curious about how he had come about the
Mutants.

"He didn't disappear we came to get him, Jean here is a

mind reader, a call for help led us to England. We of
course knew he was a mutant and brought him here" said
Charles.

"I see," said Severus "I am glad, when Harry disappeared

when he was younger we found out when he was supposed
to turn eleven. We used Veritaserum" said Severus.

"Veritaserum as in truth potion?" asked Harry blinking

curious.

"Yes, Dumbledore I'm sure put Harry there on purpose to

be abused. However, I do not know for certain" said
Severus.

"He would do that to a child?" gasped Jean horrified.

"He would, he's not all light and good as most people seem
to think he is" said Severus darkly.

"Well we know that, it's not nice to bind someone's

magic!" snapped Charles.

"It's illegal where I come from" said Severus nodding his

head agreeing completely.

"Then why is your magic also bound?" asked Harry

curiously.

"What?!" said Severus his eyes widening in shock "My

magic is not bound!"
"It is, and it's all centred on the black tattoo around
your forearm" said Harry his head going to the side as he
continued to look at Severus.

"Illegal you say?" asked Charles obviously not believing it.

"Yes it is! Magic is rare where we come from and it's a

sin you could end up in Azkaban for binding someone's
magic to the extent he bound Harry's magic!" said
Severus.

"It has Dumbledore's and someone else's signature, the

one that gave me the scar I have on my forehead" said
Harry.

"You see magical auras?" asked Severus wide eyed.

"Yeah, so two people have bound your magic…question is

why though?" asked Harry frowning curiously.
"I can wager a guess if you are correct" said Severus
betrayal was written all over his face.

"I am," said Harry sounding confident.

"I have no doubt" said Severus seemingly resigned to the

idea that his magic was bound.

"I can unbind it for you, but your tattoo will end up gone
too, as it's a magical one" said Harry.

Severus just blinked once, before it came to much for

him and he passed out.

Severus never thought it would be possible to be free of

both masters, and have that blasted mark removed. It
was like a dream come true, and a dream that Severus
never thought that would come true.

HaHa lol wanted to do that at the end there! have

Severus Snape passing out phew thats the chapter done

A Hero's cry

Chapter 12

"How are you feeling?" asked Jean as he came around,

with a white cloth on his forehead with ice cubes inside
it.

"I'm fine, how long was I out of it?" asked Severus

before groaning and saying "Again". He kept the cloth on
his head; it felt nice and cool against his feverish brow.

"Fifteen minutes" said Jean moving away from the man's

personal space.
"Did...did you mean what you said?" said Severus before
clarifying himself "About the mark"

"Sure," said Harry. "But I'm still not going back, not until
I'm ready"

"Ready? Your not going at all young man!" snapped Jean

angrily.

"I'm not sure myself" sighed Harry rubbing his eyes

tiredly.

Severus didn't bother protesting, he didn't blame the

young man if he didn't want anything to do with the
wizarding world. If he hadn't been in it since he was one
who was he to go into a war? That's like asking an
innocent Muggle to fight their battles.

"So when do you want it done?" asked Harry.

"Not now! He has to rest and get better!" said Jean.

"Fair enough" shrugged Harry.

Severus was disappointed but didn't say anything, he

should just be grateful he was getting the blasted mark
off. None of this showed on his face, his mask was in
place just like always.

"So what am I supposed to do here?" asked Severus.

"Why not introduce potions to the children?" asked

Xavier.

"What?!" said Severus wide eyed "You don't do potions

here?!" shocked to the core.

"No we don't," said Xavier "One I'm sure the students

will be thrilled to learn"
"I don't know you may not have the ingredients I need to
brew a potion" said Severus. "Some of them are really,
really rare" he admitted.

"I see, well I'm sure you, Harry and Jean can have a talk
about some ingredients and see if it's possible" said
Xavier softly.

"I can't see any harm in trying" sighed Severus. He

didn't have anything else to do anyway so there was no
point in saying no to something that might make potions a
more liked subject. He loved potions that's why he
became a master he would love to help students find the
passion and love he had for the subject themselves.

"Good!" beamed Harry.

"For now I suggest we get him a room to sleep in, he looks

dead on his feat" said Jean looking once again concerned
for the young man.
"I'll help him up" said Wolverine, helping the man up,
Severus was a proud man but knew to keep his mouth
shut, he didn't want to anger a man who could rip him to
shreds in the matter of minutes.

They gave him a really nice room, too much sunlight that
he was not used to but it would do him fine. The colours
were natural browns and creams. It was a nice change,
from Hogwarts and the constant green, silver, gold, red,
blue, bronze, black and yellow.

"Get some rest, you need it" said Wolverine leaving the
room, Jean said "Have a nap; I will come back at dinner
time, show you the way to the dining area."

"And the rest of the school when?" asked Severus

curiously.

"Some time tomorrow perhaps, once you have properly

rested" said Jean "Until then you are on bed rest" she
finished sternly.
Severus had to bite back whatever was on his tongue. He
was a guest here, he had manners and that didn't involve
sneering.

"Just be lucky you are getting to have your dinner with us

and not in bed!" she said with a pointed look she seemed
to know what he was thinking. That freaked him out just
a little bit, until he remembered she was a mind reader
she may have picked up on what he was thinking.

"I apologize" said Severus bowing his head; he knew when

to leave his pride behind also.

"It's alright" smiled Jean.

"I can see why Harry found a mother in you" said Severus
once he was sitting on the bed.

"Why is that?" asked Jean.

"Your much like Lily, kind caring and a mother hen"
smirked Severus "She was really like you"

"Perhaps that helped, but he came to call me mother on

his own terms" said Jean softly.

"Yes I have no doubt about that" smirked Severus.

"Sleep, I shall be up in a few hours" said Jean walking

towards the door and shutting it quietly.

-------0

"How is he?" asked Xavier once Jean had entered the

headmasters office once again.

"Extremely pale and he needs a decent nights sleep!" said

Jean "After a decent sleep he should be a lot better"
"Well his injuries are healed, so that won't be a problem"
said Harry.

"No they won't" smiled Jean "Because of you"

"And you mum! Don't give me all the credit!" said Harry,
he was a very modest boy and didn't like taking credit
for something else he felt someone had helped in.

"We must let the students know another guest is here"

said Storm.

"Indeed we shall" said Xavier "Don't want them to think

there's an intruder"

------------0

"Severus? Severus?" said Jean softly.

Severus was up as if he had been drowsed in freezing
cold water, wand in hand.

"Calm down!" said Jean softly backing two feet away.

"I'm sorry" said Severus looking embarrassed and quiet

scared, he could have hurt her. He wasn't used to being
forced awake, from the little sleep he manages to get.

"It's alright," said Jean softly "Harry was much the

same, minus the wand of course"

"Was he badly hurt when you got to him?" asked Severus

getting out of the bed and stretching.

"He was indeed, he wasn't able to heal as quickly as you, I

had to keep him asleep until he was at least a good bit
better. Otherwise he would have been in constant pain"
said Jean.
"What they Muggles did was despicable keeping a child in
a cupboard!" snarled Severus.

"That was his bedroom, where he had been since he was

just a baby" said Jean.

"Merlin" swallowed Severus looking shocked and scared.

"Come, dinner is waiting" said Jean. "If you can walk that
far" she finished looking concerned.

"I'm fine, a lot better" said Severus meaning it, that

sleep had done him the world of good.

"You look it," said Jean "The students are aware of who
you are so they wont be shocked too see you"

"Ah," said Severus looking uncomfortable now.

"Don't worry they wont bite! Or stare" teased Jean.

Severus just raised an eyebrow he wasn't used to people

kidding on with him so he didn't know what to say.

Next time we will have SEverus' mark removed! Harry

and Severus will bond! will potions become a subjects at
the mutant School?! R&R plz tell me what u think and
take care byeee

A Hero's Cry

Here we goooooo! Another update when Fan fiction

decides to work again that is but right now I'm getting
nothing….so I'm just going to write my next chapter xD
goodbye folks

Chapter 13

Weeks had gone by, Severus still hadn't gotten his mark
removed, Jean didn't think he was fit enough to get it
removed. She kept telling him to put weight on and go out
get some sun let his skin breathe.

So Severus got used to his new life, getting a good sleep,

not having to go to the Headmaster's office or the best
yet not being called by the Dark Lord. Despite having the
mark no one had summoned him. He did wonder why for a
few minutes each time he remembered but that wasn't
often. He didn't have the time to sit and mule about his
mark all day. He found himself always busy doing
something with the people here.

He had spent quite a lot of time with Storm, she was the
opposite from him, and she was light and him dark. Quite
like yin and yang but don't get them wrong they were just
friends. The both swung in opposite directions. Although
some of the others were trying to convince them to get
together.

However, one of the few people that weren't happy was

Harry, although the young man didn't understand he liked
getting people together. Wolverine was the only one to
see that Harry was becoming agitated at how he was
feeling.

"You need to help Harry" said Logan softly, when it was

just her and him in bed.

"What do you mean?" asked Jean obviously confused.

"He's becoming very confused about his feelings towards

Severus" said Logan.

"Why would he be confused" asked Jean looking straight

at Logan.

"Haven't you noticed? He gets angry when he sees people

trying to get Storm and Sev together" said Logan
frowning it wasn't like her to not notice it.

"I've been concentrating on Severus! I didn't notice"

gasped Jean looking shocked and disgusted with herself.
"I need to speak to him" she said trying to get out of the
bed.

"Don't! Let him sleep he's hardy had any sleep at all using
so much magic" said Logan holding onto Jean's arm.

"I suppose" said Jean reluctantly.

"Come on" said Logan cuddling them in for the night.

"Well Severus did you find the ingredients?" asked

Xavier.

Severus had been busy gathering every single ingredient

related to potions, then trying as he may to get hold of
the potions shop in America. He got everything he needed
in the end it cost a fortune but he didn't mind. He even
got some ingredients that he had never heard of before.

Severus could feel experiments coming on.

He had also gotten a gift from Harry, a book/journal it

wasn't magical so it wasn't automatically updating. It was
refreshing having to watch what he was doing because he
couldn't erase it.

Severus loved his new life, new friends, new life, new
routine, new everything he couldn't thank Harry enough.
If he hadn't been found then he would still be back in
England in his boring hurtful life.

"We found everything" said Severus.

"I'm glad, so does this mean we will be getting a new

subject?" asked Xavier.

"No, they need books" said Severus, he would just copy

them all, and he just wished he could go back and get his
things. He didn't realize he had said it out loud until he
saw them all looking.

"You would go back? And risk the chance of being stuck

there?" asked Storm shocked.

They knew just how bad Dumbledore was; how he would

put Severus in Azkaban (They also knew about the
Dementors) just to keep him under control. They knew
there was spells that would keep Severus inside
Hogwarts.

"My life is back there," said Severus trying to get them

to see why he would risk it to go back.

"Well if we must go back, then we must" said Harry.

"You are not going young man!" said Jean wide eyed, she
didn't like the thought of loosing her son.
"I will come with you" said Logan "He wouldn't expect
someone like me"

"Fine" sighed Jean "But I'm coming too"

"Everyone will mistake you for Lily Evans" said Severus

"You are almost her double"

"I don't care, I'm going! I want nothing to happen to my

son" said Jean.

"Fair enough" sighed Severus. He was just over the moon

that they were taking him back to he could get his things.
He just hoped to god Dumbledore hadn't trashed his
rooms, because some of this most important things were
there. The rest was at Spinsters End.

"When do you want to go?" asked Xavier.

"Whenever someone can take me" said Severus, he didn't

know he had been apparated single handily from UK to
USA.

"I'll take you today if you like" said Harry "It will only
take a few minutes"

"It's the UK I live in" said Severus sceptically "It will

take us days to get there"

"No actually it wont, I apparated to get you in a few

seconds" said Harry.

"Here and back?" asked shocked Severus.

At Harry's nod he asked another question.

"From USA to UK? Then back?" he then asked his wide

eyes going bigger.
"Yes" said Harry getting annoyed now.

"No one could do that! Should be able to do that!" said

Severus.

"I am not everyone!" sighed Harry.

"Then I'd like to go at about 4 o'clock in the morning,"

said Severus "There's less chance of being caught that
way"

Oooo So it Starts Will They Be Caught In UK? And

Forced Somehow to Stay? or Will Wolverine's 'Claws'
come in handy? will Dumbledore finally get hurt? will
people begin to see just what kind of man he is? just man
not importal or god? R&R plz

A Hero's Cry

Chapter 14
"You do realize your son is quite wealthy?" said Severus
from the couch; the teachers were gathering around,
Harry was off with Bobby and his girlfriend Rouge. They
adults liked when he actually spent time with his friends
and people his own age.

"I know he's never spent a cent of his earnings it's all
accumulating in the bank" said Jean.

"I mean where he's from, in England. His birth Parents

were very well off…he came from a very wealthy
pureblood family" explained Severus.

"I see, could this be another reason Dumbledore wanted

Harry broken?" Wondered Jean out loud.

"Possibly" said Logan, who was no longer travelling in

hopes of remembering his life. He found he no longer
cared about the past but wanted a future instead. He
already had one with Jean and Harry as well as everyone
here in the Mutant world.
"I'm not sure…the Dumbledore's are supposed to be very
rich but Dumbledore likes to flaunt his wealth. He gets
custom made clothes, runs the Order, donates to
hundreds of different charities every year…he needs
everyone to see how gentle and loving he is" sneered
Severus.

"So there is every chance that he's bankrupt?" asked

Jean.

"You don't go bankrupt in the wizarding world…well I

suppose you could…but it hasn't happened in all these
years. There is a chance he might have used the entire
fortune" conceded Severus.

"Is there a chance he could get his hands on Harry's

money?" demanded Xavier looking shocked and angry. He
knew Dumbledore probably could do whatever he liked
and get away with it.
"Yes" mumbled Severus wearily.

"How?" frowned Jean.

"Harry's godfather was no doubt put in charge of the

vaults should anything happen to them. He's in Azkaban
for life it's a prison for telling the Dark Lord where the
Potter's were…there's a chance he could get
guardianship of Harry. Or become his magical guardian
and have full access to his vaults" said Severus "That is
allowed up until they are twenty one"

"Jesus Christ we must have it investigated while we are

over there, tell me is there any way that we could go in
disguise? Would magic be able to do that?" asked Jean
she didn't want anyone stealing her baby's money.

"Sure but Dumbledore could see right though them…I do

have a poly juice potion though he wouldn't know then"
said Severus softly.
"Poly Juice Potion?" frowned Jean she hadn't heard that
potion mentioned before.

"Turns the drinker into someone else" explained Severus.

"How is that possible?" frowned Logan looking doubtful.

"You place a piece of the person you want to turn into

inside the potion and drink it. It's not the most pleasant
potion to drink especially with someone's hair or toenails
in it" said Severus with a smirk as Logan gagged in
disgust at the thought.

"That's just disgusting" said Jean.

"Are we getting some sleep before we go?" asked Xavier,

himself, Severus, Logan, Jean and Harry had decided to
go. They were going to Hogsmade; Xavier wanted to
gather as much Intel as he could about the Wizarding
world for Harry's sake.
"I'm not even tired" said Jean in fact she was rather
excited about going to see what world Harry could have
been a part of. She was sure not all of it could be bad,
after all society had bad and good people.

"Me either" said Severus he had done nothing but rest,

he was finally going back home even if it was just to
gather his things. He was worried about things though
and it must have shown as Xavier asked him why.

"You seem rather appreciative why?" asked Xavier softly.

"I'm just worried the Dark Lord may be able to track me

though the mark" admitted Severus.

"Do you want Harry to remove it before we go?" asked

Jean softly, he was back to his full strength now so Jean
didn't mind letting Harry doing it.

"I'm worried my magic will be immense and knock me out"

said Severus he didn't want to miss his opportunity to go
back.

"It's possible but you have brewed quite a lot of potions,

just tell us which ones to give you should that happen. I
do not want to take any chances of someone hurting my
son" said Jean softly.

"Ok" said Severus his resolve strengthened.

"Harry should have no problem doing it for you, he should

be back in an hour" said Xavier. Harry always told them
when he was coming home, and was always on time. He had
never had any sort of teenage rebellion perhaps because
of his childhood but he wasn't exactly sure.

"Do you think its even likely Harry will be recognized?"

frowned Logan.

"Unfortunately yes" sighed Severus "When I first woke

up I thought he was James Potter…he does look like his
father but also has bits of his mother in him" said
Severus with a sad smile.

They spoke about other things for the remaining hour

before Harry came home. He found a very cheerful room
with his parents and friends talking about magic and
Mutant powers.

"Hey guys" said Harry softly it was twelve o'clock at

night the others usually went to bed at half eleven. He
knew their routine better then them sometimes, they did
have students to teach tomorrow. Or at least they were
supposed to; obviously it wasn't going to happen now.

"Harry I'm glad you're back Severus needs the mark

taken off tonight before we go. He's worried Tom Riddle
might be able to track him though it, will you be able to
manage that?" asked Logan.

"Sure it's no problem, just…both of them will come down,

whoever's getting your magic will stop getting it they will
know something is up" said Harry.
"I think they already do its been months since I've been
in touch with either of them" said Severus softly.

"Ok" said Harry, "Sit down" when Severus did, he rolled

up his sleeve; Harry noticed the look of disgust Severus
gave the ugly tattoo. It didn't seem like he was going to
miss it then, Harry didn't know it caused Severus pain all
the time.

Touching the mark, his head began to pound it was

actually quite painful to touch. Groaning he quickly forced
his magic into the mark, quickly making it go around
Severus' body. Wanting it to be over with as soon as
possible, he had to put up with the pain for a good five
minutes before Harry finally saw the strands of magic
begin to disintegrate.

Harry fell to his knees; Severus was the first to get to

him, holding onto him quite snugly. Harry didn't want to
move, he was comfortable, he liked Severus more than he
had ever liked anyone. He wasn't going to admit it, when
it was obvious Severus didn't like him that way.
Unrequited love sucked, and Harry was beginning to
believe it.

"Are you ok?" asked Severus soothingly.

Logan held Jean back, whispering to her to look at how

comfortable Harry looked. She looked so sad, watching
her son she was going to have to speak to Severus. See
how he felt before having a long conversation with her
son, she would have to find somewhere else for Severus
or keep them out of each others way. She would be
damned if her son hurt because of a stranger staying in
his home, he wasn't a stranger she liked him but her son
came first.

"I'm fine just give me a minute" said Harry his hands

firmly on his forehead, trying to stop the pain. Finally the
pain started ebbing away as he sat there, unfortunately
Severus didn't stay long, and reluctantly Severus let
Harry go. Jean noticed the look on Severus' face and
grinned like a Cheshire cat, so Severus liked his son and
didn't want to admit it. She wondered if it was because
he was young or if he was scared Harry wouldn't accept
him.

"I'm going to lie down for a while" muttered Harry softly

"Wake me up when its time to go"

"Of course sweetheart" said Jean looking worried.

"I'm fine mum" murmured Harry slipping out and going to

his bed.

"Will he be ok?" asked Logan softly he hadn't seen Harry

so down before.

"He will be fine, he just has a sore head" said Xavier

softly.

It wasn't a surprise when Jean, Logan, Severus and

Xavier ended up falling asleep in the room waiting for
four o'clock to come. Thankfully Severus had set an
alarm to wake him up, which woke the entire room up.
Jean went up to see Harry making sure he was alright
before bringing him down.

"It's just a shame you won't be able to get the books you
wanted" said Logan to Xavier as they walked out to meet
Harry and Jean.

"You won't need to buy any books; I have enough to bring

you up to date. I will also bring my catalogue with me, it
brings things automatically though a box I bought as a
teenager" said Severus only really anti social people
really bought the box. Most Witches and Wizards
preferred apparating and seeing what they were getting
instead of trusting people. It was four o'clock in the
morning not even in the wizarding world did shops stay
open all night. Sure there were a few pubs open and a few
big food retail stores but that was it.

"Fantastic" beamed Xavier - he was rather looking

forward to having a read at this world.
Harry drank the potion as soon as he apparated them all
away, he was now Bobby he found it rather odd walking
around as his best friend. However, he knew it was the
best thing all around.

First stop was Gringotts.

Jean was making Harry take control of his vaults and

stop anyone accessing them.

A Hero's Cry
Chapter 15

"My names Harry Potter and I'm here to claim my

inheritance" said Harry confidently walking up to the
goblins. He didn't as much as twitch at the ugly looking
things as many Muggle Born's would have done.

The goblin in question looked up at Harry as if he

couldn't believe him. Or should the goblin say her, as
Harry looked like a women at the moment with silver pixy
hair cut.

"He's in disguise just take us to see the head of his

accounts" sneered Severus abruptly.

"Very well" nodded the goblin. They actually liked

Severus, because unlike most of the people there they
weren't fakes and pretending to be nice and saying nasty
things behind their back.

As soon as they walked through the door, Harry could

feel a tingling going though his body. Also saw many spells
placed around the room, Harry frowned and wondered
what they were.

"They are wards making sure poly juice potion isn't used,
one also uses magical signature recognition. They are
connected to the Goblins so they know who they are
dealing with and cannot be duped" said Severus softly as
if he knew what Harry was thinking.

"Ah that explains it" nodded Harry thoughtfully.

"So how can Gringotts help Harry Potter this late at

night?" grinned Grekin softly.

"I wish to claim my vaults and gather an inventory for the

past seventeen years" said Harry softly sitting down, the
others quickly followed him but remained quiet. He was
eighteen years old nearly nineteen, his parents had been
gone for seventeen years so he was checking from way
back the just to make sure.
"I gather you are aware that your guardian has control of
your vaults?" asked Grekin.

"Who would that be? I haven't been in the wizarding

world since I was one years old" said Harry dryly.

"Albus Dumbledore, he became your magical guardian the

night your parents passed away" said Grekin he didn't
want to say murdered it wasn't very nice and he wasn't
sure how Harry would take it.

"Passed away?" scoffed Harry "They were murdered do

not treat me like a child I know very well what happened"

"I apologize I just wasn't sure how you would react or if

you even knew" said Grekin bowing in respect.

"I know so Dumbledore didn't waste any time in going

after my accounts when my parents died" said Harry he
wasn't exactly surprised he knew Dumbledore wasn't as
light as everyone made him.

"So it's legal?" snapped Jean unable to hold her tongue

any longer.

"It depends do you want to press charges?" asked Grekin.

"My son and I want to yes" said Jean looking very angry,
she had to stop her powers from reacting and raising
everything in the vicinity to the ceiling.

"Then the best you can do I'm afraid is arrest him for
theft and he would no doubt get away with it. He is a very
important man in this world and everyone believes he can
do no wrong" sneered Grekin an ugly look on his face.

"Theft?" frowned Harry.

"When you turn seventeen you legally become of age,

technically he's only been stealing your money for nearly
two years. The Wizengamont granted him his petition to
become your magical guardian after Sirius Black was
imprisoned" explained Grekin.

"I see" said Harry looking furious.

"What if he can prove he didn't get a penny of it?" asked

Severus looking intently at the goblin.

"It would be hard to prove and feeble at best you know

as well as I no one will arrest Dumbledore for such a
petty theft" sighed Grekin.

"How much has he taken" demanded Jean. Logan put a

calming hand on her shoulder, so she didn't do something
she would regret.

"This is an inventory of everything removed in the past

seventeen years" winced Grekin handing over the paper.
Jean went red in the face; she didn't have to convert the
money from Galleon's to Dollars to know he had removed
a lot from her sons vault.

"What the hell's a pensive?" asked Harry when he

grabbed the paper from his mum.

"It's a place for storing memories they are extremely

valuable and rare" said Severus before the Goblin could
reply.

"The books? Hundreds of books have been removed and

lots of trunks full of jewels?" gawped Harry.

"Will he be able to get them back? Technically they are

his property and should never been removed" said
Severus his eyes narrowed and he was breathing heavily
as if he was trying to keep himself calm.

"Everything apart from the money up until two years ago

you can get back" nodded Grekin.
"Who the hell is Molly Prewitt?" asked Harry.

"Molly Weasley let me see" demanded Severus.

"She got two payments put into a vault…right before you

were supposed to attend Hogwarts" frowned Severus.

"That we can get back" nodded Grekin "It's easy to prove

that you didn't have that money"

"We want it done as soon as he leaves" said Severus; he

didn't want a chance of Molly going to Dumbledore and
them both coming here. He didn't want to be caught, he
was rather happy living in America he had done his duty
to this world and didn't give a damn what happened.

"Very well" nodded Grekin.

"I'm leaving pretty soon I've got all the money I need in
America I just don't want anyone else touching it" said
Harry sounding insulted. It was his family's hard earned
money Dumbledore was spending Willy nilly. Jean and
Xavier might be his parents but Lily and James had been
his first family even if he could hardly remember them.

"Very well just sign these then is there anything else I

can do for you before you leave?" asked Grekin.

"No I'm fine thank you is there any way I can get regular
statements to where I stay?" asked Harry.

"Now that you have claimed them they will go to you, do

not worry the address is confidential no one not even us
will know where you are. However, Owls will know where
you are and they will find you" said Grekin.

"Ok" said Harry nodding his head.

"Fantastic sign these and you should have half an hour

before anyone realizes what happened" nodded Grekin
handing over papers for Harry to sign.
Smiling weakly he signed all the papers they rolled up and
disappeared in a puff of smoke, another piece of paper
probably the copy materialized in his folder beside the
Goblins.

"Let's get going" said Jean she was worried something

was going to happen.

"I need a picture of your quarters" said Harry softly.

Meaning Severus would need to lower his shields and let
Harry have a peak inside his head.

Groaning Severus did what he was told, not really

thinking about it. Harry grinned softly he was just as he
imagined it to be, he wasn't leaving his family him they
were going with. He wasn't taking any chances with their
lives, there was a war going on and he just had a bad
feeling about everything.

"Hold on" said Harry, everyone did as they were told;

Harry held onto his dad Xavier and his chair so both
items would be transported with them. Suddenly they
were in Severus' room, when they landed Severus gawped
at his room before fainting in an undignified heap at their
feet.

Harry had to resort to throwing water at Severus' face

to wake the man up. Harry wasn't sure if anyone had been
alerted to the fact someone was here. There were wards
upon the room his magic told him as much but he didn't
know exactly what they were.

Spluttering angrily he came around, Harry help Severus'

hand away from his face as the wand was abruptly pulled
in front of him. "How did you do that?" gawked Severus
putting his wand away looking only slightly sheepish he
hadn't done that in a while.

"What?" frowned Harry "And hurry and get your things

there's wards all around this room"

"You apparated into Hogwarts…it's never been done

before….not even Dumbledore can do it" said Severus.

"I don't know Severus but please gather your things"

said Harry he could feel people all over this place and
magic pulsing with fear something had happened. He had
a feeling someone knew they were in here; thankfully
Severus did as he was told quickly gathering his things.

"Remember that box Severus" said Xavier softly; it had

been the first time he spoke tonight. He seemed quite
content to watch everything and let others handle the
problems.

"Someone's coming" said Jean her voice barely a whisper.

"It's Dumbledore" said Xavier "And a Minerva, a Filius?

And a Remus and a Black" he knew because he could read
their minds and memories.

"You can get though Dumbledore's shields?" whispered

Severus wide eyed, if he could do it to Dumbledore's
there was no doubt he could raid Severus' and see all his
horrific past.

"I can but I do not usually do it without permission" said

Xavier "We needed to know what we were up against"

"Black? As in my godfather?" asked Harry surprised.

"Yes he was released from prison…he was sentenced

there for twelve years" said Severus "Surprisingly he
came out relatively intact" he finished dryly.

"I'm almost finished" said Severus quickly gathering the

remains of his things. His potions and books were first to
get done, going though everything special to him including
pictures of him and Lily. The least special stuff was
packed last things he wouldn't mind leaving behind should
they have to leave abruptly.

"I can't hold the wards any longer with all the apparating
I've done I'm exhausted and we need to get back" sighed
Harry, gasping in shock when he heard his own voice half
way though the sentence.

"Shit" swore Severus shrinking down the last box as the

wards crumbled, gathering around they held onto Harry
just as the door was blown open. Dumbledore looked at
Harry with shock and rage, before it turned to Severus.
A snarl left the usually good and light Albus Dumbledore,
just as Harry began apparating Sirius Black leapt towards
Harry, Remus tried to stop Sirius and they both got
pulled along for the ride.

"DAMN" snarled Dumbledore was the last thing Harry

and the others heard before they fell with a thump back
in America into the very office they had spent the
majority of the night in.

"Harry!" shouted Jean when her son fell to the floor.

"Get a pepper up potion now!" demanded Severus rolling

Harry onto his back using his wand to figure out what was
wrong. He was silently glad he had taken Medi wizard
training with Poppy before he left school.

"Its fine" sighed Severus in relief "He's just magically

drained"

"He just apparated to and back from America and held

wards that stopped Dumbledore getting in so it's no
surprised" muttered Severus mostly to himself as Jean
came rushing back with the potion Severus requested and
he quickly administered it to him.

"America?" shrieked Sirius weakly.

"How did he apparate out of Hogwarts?" yelped Remus.

As if he was suddenly remembering something important.

Remus looked utterly stunned he stood there wondering

what was happening and why Severus wasn't back with
Dumbledore and what his best friends son was doing
there and why he came to Hogwarts with Severus and
how he knew him in the first place.
"He will sleep for a few days until his reserves build up
again" said Severus lifting Harry up and putting him on
the make shift bed, before covering him up.

"That was too close for my liking" said Jean sitting down
next to her son.

"Severus can I ask what a prophecy is?" asked Xavier

looking worried.

"Why?" asked Severus.

"Please just answer" sighed Xavier looking even more

upset.

"It's a prediction of something happening" explained

Severus.

"Why would Dumbledore get someone to fake one?" asked

Xavier.

"It was a fake?" gasped Severus.

"Indeed…" said Xavier "Dumbledore promised the woman

the divination position if she did it".

"Which means Harry isn't responsible for killing

Voldemort" said Severus looking like a weight had been
lifted from his shoulders. He grimaced though when he
realized he was still responsible for the death of Lily and
James. All for a fake prophecy it made him sick to his
stomach. One thing for sure if Severus ever went back to
Scotland he would kill the headmaster no matter what
happened to him. He had killed the only person he had
loved in his life, with the exception of his recent
fondness for her son. Which was why he was trying to
stop it in his tracks but every time Harry did something
it amazed him and made his heart grow fonder of him.
Like tonight apparating into Hogwarts without realizing
what he had done, then throwing it off by making him
pack as if nothing had happened. He was the exact
opposite as his father, even Lily who had been desperate
to prove herself and liked to brag a little. Harry was
down to earth, honest and shy and Severus found it
terribly sweet and attractive.

Will Jean corner Severus? will sirius and remus go home

or stay? will remus be more accepted in the mutant
world? will sirius fight with severus and cause harry to
hate him? will dumbledore find them though sirius and
remus? or will remus and sirius lead dumbledore right to
them and betray harry thinking they are doing the right
thing? will harry be forced to battle their war? and
severus captured to ensure harrys coporation thinking
harry has known severus longer than he had? R&R

A Hero's Cry

Chapter 16

Sirius And Remus Are Idiots

"What the hell do you mean by that?" snapped Remus

defensively, Dumbledore had been good to him for his
entire life, since he was eleven and allowed him entry into
Hogwarts. Despite the fact he was a werewolf and could
have caused someone harm. So it came as no surprise
when Severus heard the tone Remus Lupin took with
Xavier and himself. However, he should know better than
to talk to people like that who was hosting him in their
school. Willingly or unwillingly, as the idiots had come
with them using even more of Harry's magic up to get
them here.

"You could have permanently hurt Harry you fool" snarled

Severus ignoring Remus' question altogether.

"What do you mean by that? What could have happened

to my son?" demanded Jean, Severus always compared
her to Lily; she was a fiery red headed woman who would
die for her son. Even if Harry wasn't hers biologically
they thought of each other that and that's all that
mattered to them both.

"They grabbed on in mid apparation, Harry could have

ended up expanding too much of his magical core and
burnt it out" explained Severus, throwing a very nasty
look at the blushing men standing half ashamed half
defiant in front of them.

"If anything happens to my son, I'll drive you insane and

then I'll kill you…do you hear me?" said Jean sounding
like she was ready to strike at them.

"Now wait a damn min…" Sirius suddenly squeaked and

backed off his eyes wide with fear. Severus found it
amusing to say the least; Logan had come up to Jean and
unleashed his claws as Severus liked to refer to them as.
Severus had never seen Sirius so cowed before and he
wasn't going to deny it - it gave him all the pleasure in
the world to see. He slightly wished Logan had been at
Hogwarts, now that would have truly been amusing.

"Harry is not your son," said Remus soothingly "He's the

son of Lily Evans Potter and James Potter" as if she
didn't already know that, as if Remus was under the
impression that Jane thought Harry was her biological
child. Severus couldn't help but snort, really Remus was
supposed to be the smartest of the bunch but right now
he was being pretty damn pathetic.
Suddenly Severus realised, Dumbledore might have
traces on the mutts. Quickly spelling anything that might
track Dumbledore to them away, he relaxed. Sirius nor
Remus hadn't had the time to even defend themselves,
and they were in a war. Severus just sniffed in distain;
their reflexes were disgusting how they had survived this
far he wouldn't know.

"Pathetic" muttered Severus, and he was thankful to

have done the spells. They stupid idiots did have tracking
charms upon their persons; it was a good job Severus was
so damn paranoid. Or Dumbledore would have been hot on
their heels.

"Are you trying to insinuate something?" asked Jane her

voice going cold and dark glaring at Remus darkly.

"Of course not" said Remus bashfully, he couldn't get on

their bad side, not if he wanted to get to know Harry and
get him to come back home, where he belonged.
"Our son is back home, the world you know isn't Harry's
home" said Xavier smoothly his voice a little cold. When
he heard their thoughts, Xavier was always glad for his
abilities at times like these.

"This, where ever it is, isn't his home, he belongs in the

wizarding world! He's a wizard his parents were wizards!"
protested Sirius hotly.

"Actually he is part mutant" said Logan dryly.

"Mutant? But I thought that was a myth" said Remus

dryly, Severus didn't like that - it had been his reaction
too.

"It is very real, and you are standing in a school for

people like us, we teach them as best as we can to control
and harness their powers" said Xavier reproachfully.

"Harry has only ever known this world, this is his home"
said Jean defensively.
"You had no right kidnapping him from his home and
bringing him here" said Sirius as if he knew best.

Severus choked back an ironic laugh "Didn't Dumbledore

tell you the truth mutt?" sneered Severus his voice
getting even more dangerous and low.

He knew that Sirius Black didn't kill the Potters. Black

didn't have any mind shields what so ever, so Severus
didn't have a trouble reading him like an open book. If he
had seen him the night the Potter's died he would have
known then. He had served his entire sentence, and
petitioned with a big bulk of money to have a trial. Which
he was granted, to their horror he had been innocent of
all crimes committed. They practically gave him the
money he had used for the re-trial plus an extra eighty
million galleons for a gross miscarriage of justice they
said.

"What are you talking about?" asked Sirius his eyes

narrowed in anger.
"I mean Harry Potter was abused by the Dursley's I was
there when Dumbledore interviewed them with
Veritaserum. They confessed all, to the beatings,
starvations, leaving him alone in cupboards for weeks on
an end" sneered Severus furiously, how could they idiots
not have looked into this further? And actually believed
Dumbledore when he told them he had been kidnapped.

"Do you really have to tell someone I don't know - things

like that?" groaned Harry wakening up; he was no longer
ashamed of what happened to him. In fact if Harry was
honest he barely remembered it. He was a grown man now
with a part time job, teaching students at Xavier's school
for mutants. He would only go full time when the pupils all
changed - Harry found it awkward teaching people he had
known for a long time. People he had once gone to school
with like Bobby so he usually taught the younger years.

"I apologise Harry" murmured Severus, going over to

check the young man, giving a thankful sigh that he was
indeed alright. He helped him sit up, then stand before
he guided the still wobbly young man to a seat.
"I thought he was responsible for my parent's death"
said Harry his eyes narrowed in anger.

"I didn't do it!" squeaked Sirius wide eyed still half

shocked about what he had heard from Severus Snape.

Harry grimaced in disgust, did that grown man just

squeak at him? Squeak? Xavier and Jane had to smother
their laughs upon hearing their son's thoughts. Honestly
they all continued to underestimate him, apart from
Severus though.

Severus on the other hand had rolled his eyes at the man.

"He knows, one of his mutant abilities is mind reading and

he's an empath" said Jane agitated. She was very angry
for their earlier comments, how dare they say she wasn't
his mother! As if she was deluded.

"They said what?" snarled Harry standing up, only to

groan and sink back down with a wince.

"You really need to stop doing that! It's annoying only

hearing one side of the conversation" sighed Logan in
dismay.

Severus smirked and nodded at Logan in agreement. He

was just greatly relieved Harry was alright and seemed
to be recovering.

"Is what Snive…Snape said true?" asked Sirius timidly.

"What the hell were you going to call him?" asked Harry
his face a blank canvas his emerald eyes flashing very
dangerously. He loved Severus and he wouldn't see him
insulted by these men. He didn't care if Severus never
returned the feelings well he did care he was extremly
hurt but that didn't matter. He still wasn't going to allow
someone to say horrid things about him.

"Calm down Harry, don't use magic Severus said your

core was depleted" said Logan. He had come to
understand magic better he and Severus spoke a lot.
They both knew what it was like to try and fit in and not
be able to, plus Logan and Severus were both sarcastic
and bad tempered some times.

"It's alright Harry, the name no longer bothers me" said

Severus, trying to avoid thinking about the times James,
Sirius, Remus and Peter had used it at school and sadly
failing. He just hoped and prayed Harry wasn't able to
read his mind right now. Sometimes Harry was able to
but most of the time Xavier, Jane and Harry were unable
to get though his mental shields.

"Get them out of my sight please" whispered Harry, his

head pressed against his forehead. Severus was
astonished to see tears trickling down Harry's face,
worried now he went back over and forced Harry to meet
his eyes. So sad were his usual vibrant green eyes that
Severus wondered what on earth happened.

"What is the matter?" asked Severus, not removing his

hands from Harry's face forcing the man to meet his
eyes.

Logan held Jane back, wanting to give Harry and Severus

a chance to bond for once.

"I'm seeing horrible things, please get them away"

whispered Harry his voice tortured and pain filled.

"Do as he asks" said Xavier, Jane was nodding along with

him.

"Right you two move" said Logan quickly taking charge,

something was upsetting Harry and he wouldn't put up
with it. Unleashing his claws was enough to get them into
action, as a precaution Severus summoned their wands
from where he sat crouched in front of Harry his eyes
never leaving his green eyes.

"What did you see?" asked Severus soothingly.

Harry seemed incapable of speech just staring forward in
horror. Harry's mind was in turmoil no wonder Severus
didn't seem to recipocate his feelings, if thats how his
father had acted. He compared it to finding love in
someone who bullied him, if Dudley wasn't his cousin he
would have used him as an example. His hopes and dreams
were flying away, and he couldn't utter a single word.

Xavier answered grimly; Jane just hugged her son from

the side, letting him know she was there for him. "His
father bullying you mostly, seeing them ganging up on you,
it's brought on some memories he had forgotten about
the Dursley's. He's also seeing some dark cloaked figures
and the dark cold feelings they were emitting"

Severus swore harshly, he summoned a dreamless

sleeping potion and coaxed the young man into drinking it.
Keeping a steady grip on him as he went limp as sleep
claimed him. Harry didn't fight him, welcoming the
chance to get rid of the images even temporarily.

"What were they?" asked Jean her eyes clouded with

tears that wanted to fall.
"Dementors, the foulest creatures to roam this earth,
they can suck out ones soul but they feed on happy
emotions. They guard the wizard prison Azkaban only the
most notorious criminals are sentenced there" explained
Severus as he lifted Harry into his arms.

"Harry thinks you could never love him for what his
father done" whispered Jean in agony.

"Excuse me?" choked Severus in surprise and no little

shame as he remembered his old feelings for Harry
before he was due to start Hogwarts.

"This isn't our place" said Xavier gravely.

"He is our son! Charles maybe not officially but how he

thinks of us! I cannot see him heartbroken!" said Jean
adamantly. Both of them couldn't help but think of what
they had just heard their son say and conceeded the
point. Harry truly thought Severus wouldn't love him, if
he didn't they needed to know. Their fears were put to
rest with Severus' next words, now all they could do was
wait and see how it would unfold.

"You have nothing to fear," said Severus looking down at

the man in his arms in awe. He liked Harry a lot, he owed
him a lot too but never once had he considered his
feelings could be reciprocated. Jane could control her
gift, could stop herself from reading ones mind, Harry
couldn't unless he was blocked. Xavier too could stop it,
and they usually didn't pry, today they had to ensure
theses strangers hadn't meant any harm.

"What's going on?" asked Logan coming back.

"Have you ensured they are locked up for the night?"

asked Severus.

"They are, I don't want them wandering around and giving

the students a turn" smirked Logan. Anyone that wanted
cursed was welcome to walk around unannounced - the
students didn't like strangers in their school.
Severus smirked, he would prefer that but he wanted
them out of Harry's reach. Especially in case they tried
anything, they were still twisted around Dumbledore's
finger. They would have to come to terms with their lives
here - Severus wasn't putting Harry at risk of being
found by Dumbledore. Harry was too precious for that,
he no longer cared about the war - the old fool can handle
it himself. Considering he had just found out the
prophecy was a fake it was a good thing. They would just
have to wait till things calmed down and tried to talk
some sense into those two stubborn mutts. By the looks
of things Harry wasn't going to be able to stand being
near them and that filled him with grim satisfaction. It
just goes to show that the world didn't revolve around
them; they didn't get everything they wanted.

With a sigh he took Harry to his room, tucked him in and

without thinking kissed his forehead. As much as he
would like to stay there, sit in a chair and wait on him
wakening up - he wouldn't for twelve hours so Severus
could get sleep then come back. He had to talk to Harry
about what he had seen, as much as he loathed James
Potter he didn't want Harry to think too badly of his
father. Not only that, he had to tell Harry how he felt,
before Harry assumed the worst. Now that he knew he
had to speak up, he guessed the abuse had lasting
affects after all - for he hadn't been aware of Harry's
feelings.

"Goodnight little one" sighed Severus before going to his

own bed which was just down the hall. He didn't even
bother unshrinking any of his things; his mind was in too
much turmoil to do anything else. In the space of a night
he had realized Black was innocent of his crime, Harry
had feelings for him and he had also saw very unsavoury
memories of his father and godfather. He had also been
apparated directly into Hogwarts, what else? Oh yeah
Dumbledore knew for a good certainty Harry was alive
and would re-double his efforts. Especially after seeing
him able to apparate and Dis-apparate in Hogwarts.
Learned Dumbledore had indeed been stealing money and
also precious artefacts from the Potter accounts. The
beauty of Gringotts was that everything was registered,
every single little thing. So they would have every bit of
Harry's possessions back.
Which reminded him, he had to let Harry know about
Gringotts in America, and how he could have his money
and inheritance moved here. Goblins were strong
magically and it wouldn't be a problem. He had to get it
done in secret though, with a privacy spell and oath on
the goblin involved. So that nothing could reach
Dumbledore's ears even if Bill Weasley worked in
Gringotts at the main branch.

Severus as surprisingly asleep as soon as his head hit the

pillow - the fears he had about not sleeping tonight were
for naught. His last thoughts and actions were to smirk
at the thought of Black and Lupin in the dungeons and
how much they deserved to stay there for as long as they
were alive. It was with pity that Severus knew they would
be moved out soon, he knew Logan wouldn't give them
anything to eat though, for hurting Harry. Logan was like
a papa bear when it came to Harry, and Harry loved Logan
in return as another father figure.

It was awe inspiring how Harry was able to get so many

people on his side. It was not hard to be, Harry was kind,
gentle, but also a very good leader and teacher as well. If
Harry went back to the Wizarding world one day, the
world would look at him as the next Merlin (he wasn't
going to insult Harry by saying Dumbledore) Dumbledore
was evil, manipulative and Harry was the opposite. He was
good, light even if he was very honest he didn't use much
sarcasm but when it did it continued to surprise Severus.

He couldn't help but muse where Harry would have been

sorted - he had traits of all four houses. He was very
loyal to those he loved; it sent a jolt though Severus
when he realized he was one of them. He was very
studious, and had very high scores at school. He was
cunning and honest the traits of a Slytherin and was also
immensely brave but not in a Gryffindor way - as Severus
couldn't stand Gryffindor's. Harry didn't think himself
better than everyone else like most Gryffindor's. No in
the end he would have either been a Slytherin, Ravenclaw
or Huffelpuff much to the surprise of the school.

If he had stayed at the Dursley's Severus shuddered at

the mere thought, he probably would have ended up in
Gryffindor - Dumbledore would have made sure of it. Or
like a lot of abused students he may have been sorted
into Slytherin and scorned by the whole school.

Sleep that night wasn't easy for Severus, he kept seeing

the Dursley's over and over again. Heard Vernon's almost
gloating voice boast about what he had done to the savoir
of the wizarding world seeing Dumbledore's satisfied
blues eyes afterwards. Three or four times he woke up in
cold sweat, before giving in and going into Harry's room.
Conjuring up a comfy chair he pulled it next to Harry's
bed. Sitting down he put his head on the bed and ended
up falling asleep again. His hand found its way into
Harry's and he found sleep much easier knowing Harry
was here and safe even in his unconsciousness he knew all
was well. He could feel Harry's magic thrumming even
asleep as if it was calling for him.

Will Sirius and Remus 'keep trying to make Harry see

sense'? or will they continue on with their new lives here?
or will severus have to resort to obliviating them and
sending them back? will harry get on with either of
them? or will their memories be too bad? one azkaban the
other turning into a mindless wolf every month? with he
hate them on principle for ruining the image of his
father? or just for the fact he loves Severus? will
Severus admit it or back out in fear that he's not good
enough for him? will harry get the love of his life and two
more protectors or two idiots trying to send him back?
will they even believe the others when they tell them the
prophecy was faked? will they go back to kill voldemort?
and dumbledore then leave? harry is powerful enough to
do just that! will remus and sirius try and split harry and
severus up by telling harry severus is death eater? he has
no mark but they dont know that! R&R please!

A Hero's Cry

Chapter 17

Severus, Harry, Remus and Sirius

"How are you feeling?" asked Severus, as soon as he could

feel Harry stirring. He had been up for a couple of hours
already, since nine o'clock testament to just how tired he
was. He was always up at six AM every day, sometimes he
slept a little later on the weekend.
"Woah it's really weird being rested and not dreaming"
said Harry blinking the sleep out of his eyes. It was the
first time he had ever taken Dreamless sleeping potion
obviously.

Severus just looked down amused by the words coming

from Harry.

"Where are they?" asked Harry sitting up still trying to

get his bearings together.

"Down the stairs" said Severus smoothly smothering a

smirk that wanted to break through.

"Oh, well that's good" said Harry, wincing as he

remembered the memories.

"What you saw your father doing…it wasn't all facelets

of his personality" said Severus kindly "He loved you and
your mother of that I am sure"
"Maybe but I can be disappointed cant I? That's what
you meant by being in hell when you first saw me…Dunno
why" shrugged Harry "But I don't look all that much like
him"

"You don't" agreed Severus.

"So what are we going to do with those two men?" asked

Harry watching Severus expectantly.

"That's not why I am here" Severus pointed out.

"Now that you mention it what are you doing up here?"

asked Harry blinking curiously at Severus. Despite his
question he rather liked it, having Severus in his room
when he woke up in the morning. Well not exactly in the
chair but he wiped those thoughts from his mind before
they could linger. He couldn't afford distraction when
Severus was actually there. Only in private did he allow
his mind to wander to more appealing things.
"Harry…how do you feel about me?" asked Severus
coming straight out and saying what he wanted. That's
how he was and he wouldn't ever change, even Harry
wasn't as shocked by Severus' straight forward question
as he should have been.

"I um…why do you want to know Severus?" whispered

Harry hating how weak his voice sounded to his ears.

"Before we continue I have to know" said Severus a little

adamant.

"Why? So I can be knocked back no thanks!" scowled

Harry.

Severus smirked in amusement; times like that Harry

reminded him of his mother, Lily Evans-Potter.

"No Harry I would never do a thing like that, I just want

to know if this is some silly crush you are going to get
over in a few weeks or if it's something more. I am an
adult I am not looking for lust or sexual relations for a
few weeks I think too much of you for that - to indulge
you in that" said Severus explaining when it became
apparent Harry wasn't going to be the one to advertise
how he felt.

Harry blinked blank astonishment on his face; out of all

the things he had expected Severus to say that wasn't it.
He had expected Severus to be gentle with him and let
him down, using his father as the excuse. Only when he
realized what Severus said he began really thinking about
it, he could see Severus getting twitchy the longer he
remained quiet.

"It was never a crush Severus, I'm not thirteen years old
I think I know the difference. I've never really had a
true relationship anyway, I've had a few crushes but
never like this. I was more interested in making friends,
having a family and being happy for my family to think
about anything much. I'm not sure when I began falling
for you. It was so gradual it snuck up on me like smoke, I
never thought you would like me back so I hid it after I
did realize" said Harry softly, a flush spreading out
across his face.

Severus noticed Harry had refused to use the words 'I

love you' not that it bothered him. It made him feel a
little better that Harry wouldn't just say it, that he
would wait until the right time. If there was ever a right
time, Severus silently mused if this was a good idea.
Harry was young, young enough to be his son but then
again he always seemed older than his looks mostly when
you look him in the eye.

"Part of me wants to see you with someone your own age;

I am old enough to be your father. Part of me understand
why you would like someone older, part of me the part
that's been lonely for a long time my own doing of course
wants this" said Severus softly.

Fear showed on Harry's face, he swallowed thickly, what

if Severus did decide he was too immature? Harry didn't
think he could actually live with the all out rejection.

"I've always wondered if I'm too immature for you, I

won't blame you if that's what you want to do" whispered
Harry his eyes firmly planted on the floor; a sheen film
coated his green eyes. Severus could see Harry looked
ready to cry but by sheer will he was able to stop them.
That's when Severus realised just how badly the
Dursley's truly did affect Harry's confidence even till
this day.

"If we do this we go slowly?" said Severus it was more of

a statement than a question. "Get to know one another
and see where it leads, if it doesn't work out fair enough
we both tried and we will part ways still friends alright?"
friends thought Severus he didn't have friends, well not
really but then again he began to think about Logan, Jean
Grey, Xavier they did classify as friends. He spoke to
them, liked them, and actually looked forward to spending
time with them. Severus rolled his eyes inwardly honestly
he was going soft after all.

"Yes Severus that is all I can ask" said Harry thrilled, at

least he would be able to convince Severus he wasn't a
child. He had no idea that Severus knew he wasn't a
child. Severus was afraid that it was just a passing crush
of Harry's and he would be over it Severus already knew
that his feelings for Harry wasn't a passing fancy.

"I shall leave you to get ready, Black and Lupin are being
brought up the stairs in twenty minutes please be there"
said Severus softly.

"Do I have to?" grimaced Harry, remembering last night.

"Yes but do not worry, I shall try and shield the room or
at least you so you cannot hear anyone ok?" asked
Severus softly.

"When?" asked Harry eager for some quietness.

"Right now if you like" said Severus taking out his wand.

Performing a long incantation in Latin Severus put his

wand away once more, nodding curtly towards Harry he
left. Unfortunately he didn't look as graceful as he
usually would as he didn't have a cloak on nothing that
billowed out behind him.

"You have no right to be treating us this way! We are not

criminals!" snarled Sirius furiously, as they were man
handled along the corridors. Remus wasn't fighting
instead if walked slightly ahead, of course Sirius being
the idiot he was continued to aggravate a man who could
claw them to death in seconds. Sirius kept getting poked
in the back with the sharp blades because he continued
to moan and groan constantly. Yelping in pain occasionally
as well, it was just a shame Severus wasn't there to see
it.

"Shut up and walk" growled Logan furiously, his eyes

flashing dangerously.

"Make me!" hissed Sirius childishly.

"Sirius give it a fucking rest!" hissed Remus rubbing his

temples looking and sounding annoyed.
That stopped Sirius in his tracks; he stared wide eyed at
his best friend unable to believe he had just sworn. So
silently he trekked through the hall and stopped making
things worse for themselves. They entered a room
familiar, it was the one they had apparated into or well
been hitch hike tag along apparated into.

"Harry!" said Sirius forgetting everyone else in the room

as soon as he saw his godson entering.

Harry didn't reply but just raised a single eyebrow in

distain.

"Sit down Black, Lupin" said Severus tiredly.

"How dare you lock us up like that!" hissed Sirius

furiously.

"Shut the fuck up or we will Obliviate you and send you

packing back to Dumbledore with a bowtie on your head"
grunted Harry, he couldn't hear anything from both men
but he did have a sore head.

Severus raised an impressed eyebrow, Harry was learning

more and more every day without even lifting a book.

"Was anything you said yesterday true?" asked Remus

weakly, it had been playing on his mind all night. What
Severus had said, about Harry being abused it made him
cold inside at the very thought.

"Does this tell you what you need to know?" asked Harry,
lifting his sweater exposing his firm tanned torso
towards both Wizards. White scars littered his back;
they had healed but never disappeared. All Wizards in
the wizarding world would have been able to get rid of
them. However, Harry hadn't thought on the wizarding
world much. Severus hadn't seen him in any state of
undress and hadn't known about the scars littering his
back.

"They really abused you? And they really saved you?"

asked Remus quietly.

"What do you think? I can read minds I think I'd know if

they had kidnapped me!" sighed Harry in exasperation
shaking his head in irritation.

"Why did Dumbledore lie?" asked Remus his amber eyes

full of an unidentifiable emotion. He was full of
incomprehension he just couldn't believe Dumbledore
would do such a thing but the evidence was staring him in
the face! He didn't think he could ever face Dumbledore
again. He wanted to get to know Harry he had been
looking for him for years, well before Sirius was freed
and proven innocent. Then Sirius had joined him, they had
just went back to Hogwarts to report to Dumbledore
when Dumbledore had began running down to Snape's
quarters. Then he saw Harry, he had acted on autopilot
and grabbed him to end up piggy bag apparating. He did
feel regretful that he had exhausted Harry to sever
magical core depletion he just hadn't thought when he
reacted.

If Sirius screwed up his chance so be it, but Remus

wasn't about to join him.

"Do you know the support he would loose if he told the

truth? That he left Harry with his abusive relatives then
lost him?" scoffed Severus.

"Not only that he had Harry's mail directed to him,

Dumbledore somehow got his mutant school application
and signed for him. We thought Harry had decided to go
back into the wizarding world when he was eleven but we
found out Dumbledore was to blame…also for the shields
he had on the majority of Harry's magic" said Xavier
smoothly.

"You didn't tell me about that!" said Severus looking

quite shocked.

"Why?" asked Xavier cautiously.

"It's illegal deeply illegal" said Severus.

"We know that, it was a long time ago the bonds are off
so it's easy to forget" said Xavier.

"Indeed" said Severus his onyx eyes were flashing

dangerously as he thought of all the things Dumbledore
had done wrong. That was only one person who knew just
how many others he had done the exact same thing too.

"To what end!" asked Remus angrily.

"To control the weapon. The one that holds the key to
power rules the world" said Severus.

"What does that mean?" asked Sirius bitterly finally

speaking up again.

"It is rather curious isn't it? How the prophecy isn't real
yet Harry is as powerful as he is?" asked Xavier.

"That's true but as you say he's the first mutant/

Wizard the world has ever known. It just goes to show he
would be powerful, I'm thinking the Mutant ability is
from the Evan's line" said Severus.

"I guess we can only speculate. Ok Dumbledore knows the

prophecy is fake, so why continue to look for Harry? I'm
talking about before he saw him apparate out of the most
secure building in the wizarding world" said Logan. "He
lost the boy, he knows his magic is bound…knows there's
no way to release them…why continue looking?"

"He'd want the boy close, just in case the bindings did
come off" asked Jean looking hesitant.

"No that's not it there's something just not right about

it" sighed Xavier.

"I agree, you all have a point especially Logan, why did he
continue looking for Harry. Voldemort was gone, the
world was at peace, the prophecy had been faked so what
gives? Why continue looking for the boy so badly" mused
Severus thoughtfully.
"Money," said Jean. "He would need money, he was
already taking it but if he actually had Harry he would be
able to get more right? Manipulate him? Make him
depend on only Dumbledore?"

"What better way than to rescue him from abuse?"

smirked Severus as it finally began to make sense.

"Dumbledore has money…why would he want the Potter

fortune" scoffed Sirius.

Remus looked pale and drawn as if he finally saw

Dumbledore for what he truly was. "He has…I remember
going to Gringotts to get my money out I um…was beside
Dumbledore. He had a key out, number 402 was on it,
that's one of the Potter accounts…I remember now I saw
it lying in Godric's Hollow years before anything
happened"

"He could have used it in the last war, and Harry was
powerful, magically, politically, and of course he had more
money than he would ever spend in five life times. He was
important, the scar would have anyone light flocking to
Dumbledore's side like little lambs" said Severus,
Dumbledore was sneakier than Severus had given him
credit for. Not that he approved it was just the sheer
scope of what he planned, shocked him to the core.

"It almost worked!" said Harry shrugging his shoulders

indifferently.

"Almost it's a good job you came when you did…Harry

might have died or be well and truly a puppet in the hands
of its master" shuddered Severus disgusted with the
very thought. Severus was nothing if not honest,
something people liked or hated about him.

Will Sirius learn or end up having harry hate him? will

severus and harry last? will the students take to potions?

A Hero's Cry

Chapter 18

Denial, Back in the UK again and doubts

"Dumbledore is famous in his own right he doesn't need

Harry," Sirius said defending Dumbledore to these
people. Someone had to stand up for him; especially after
all he had done for them. He had stopped Sirius being
expelled, and Remus being executed in his fifth year.
After tricking Snape into going to the shrieking shack,
when Remus was a wolf. He hadn't realized the
consequences of his actions could mean that, so yes, he
would remain forever grateful for him for that.

"He created that prophecy knowing you would be there,

but why? Why would he want the Potter's killed?" asked
Xavier sitting on his normal wheelchair. Everyone else was
on wooden chairs that had been pulled up for the purpose
of the meeting.

"Money is the only motive I can see," replied Severus

reluctantly.

"My parent's couldn't have been the richest people in the

world," sighed Harry agitated. Killing someone for their
money, rubbed him up the wrong way, forget Severus he
was tempted to kill Dumbledore himself.

"Actually…they were the richest in the Order…the

Longbottom's those that came next. Then Sirius I think…
the others didn't have fortunes…at least not big ones."
concede Lupin.

"Isn't it strange they were all taken out within a month

of each other?" asked Severus his lips twisted in disgust,
but he had to concede, Dumbledore couldn't have set
that one up.

"Meaning?" asked Harry cautiously.

"Your parents were murdered on Halloween, next day
Sirius Black was arrested and the Longbottom's were
tortured into insanity not long after." explained Severus.

"So the three richest families were taken down in the

matter of what a week?" asked Harry his own suspicion
growing.

"Yes," said Severus.

"You are right it's strange, but you are also right about it
being impossible to predict." sighed Harry.

"I did not say that," groused Severus.

"But you thought it," laughed Harry wickedly.

Severus tried to hide his irritation but it was futile,

Harry felt it before he could even begin to hide it. The
amusement was quickly wiped off Harry's face, before a
look of contrite took place. He couldn't help what he was,
he could never change it either, wouldn't it protected
him, his family and his friends. If Severus got annoyed
with that, what else would he get annoyed at? Perhaps
Severus had it right to take it slow, because Harry deep
inside knew it wouldn't last. Severus was a very private
man; despite the fact most times Severus could keep his
thoughts from him it wasn't all the time. No this wouldn't
last, perhaps it was best to just stop it now before it
went too far. Harry knew he had a habit of thinking to
far ahead of himself.

"What exactly happened to the Longbottom money?"

asked Jean softly.

"It went to the grandmother until the son came of age to

accept his place as the heir of the Longbottom estate,"
explained Severus.

"Dumbledore wouldn't do that!" protested Sirius angrily.

"I'd tell Black to check his accounts," said Severus not
even tempting to talk to the man himself. He loathed the
man with every fibre of his being and for good reason.

"No point, he gave Dumbledore free access to it," said

Remus his elbows on the table and his hands covered his
face wary as hell.

"He will find the Black money greatly diminished," said

Severus smoothly.

"He's using it to fund the Order!" snapped Sirius

defensively.

"Can he be sent back?" asked Harry he didn't want the

man here, the other man believed them but Sirius Black
wasn't going to.

"He can," said Severus "But he would need Obliviated of

what this place looks like or he will apparate in with the
entire Order. He knows we are in America so they can
come here then apparate."

"Then do it he's never going to believe us," said Harry.

"What?" Sirius squeaked in surprised "You will not

Obliviate me!"

"Sev, do you want to go back, and get the rest of your

things from Spinners End?" asked Harry.

"Do you feel up to it?" asked Severus, inwardly cheering;

most of his valuable things were there. Nobody should be
able to get in as it was very secure. Although Bill Weasley
might stand a chance, if that was the case they would
have to be extremely cautious.

"Yeah, it's just you and me." said Harry.

Severus nodded in understanding; Harry was extremely

powerful, not only had he managed to apparate himself to
and from Hogwarts. He had taken more than one person
with him, seriously depleting himself; he would have been
fine if not for Lupin and Black seriously draining him.
Going to Spinners End and back with him wasn't going to
be a problem at all.

"Can I come with you? I'd like to gather what I've got
too," admitted Remus, "It isn't much and it won't even
take ten minutes."

"They will be watching your house," said Severus basically

telling Remus that the answer was no.

"They will have your house under watch too, one extra
wand might be what gets us back," Remus pointed out.

"Why do you want to stay?" asked Harry, the entire room

was wondering the same thing, Black was the most vocal
mind of all.

"I believe you, in regards to Dumbledore…it was my best

friends he's responsible for killing. If you do take me
back I'll end up in Azkaban for murdering him." said
Remus and it would be during the full moon, nobody was
more vicious than a werewolf whose pack mates had been
murdered.

"Where will you go when you turn into a werewolf?" asked

Harry.

"I'm hoping you would put me in that underground

chamber you had us in," said Remus worried now that
Harry didn't want him there.

"Sev what do you think?" asked Harry quietly.

"If he wants to stay, then let him." sighed Severus

grudgingly. It wasn't Lupin he actually hated; in fact he
was the one he tolerated out of them all. Although, he
thought Lupin was the second biggest coward, out of the
lot of them. Pettigrew was the biggest coward, and
Severus wanted nothing more than to kill the bastard.
"Harry…do you really need to go? I don't have a good
feeling about this," said Jean pleadingly.

"Nothing will happen mum, I'll be fine honest," said Harry

and screw anyone that tried to get in his way. He wasn't
the golden boy they imagined, if it came down to him or
them he would win.

"Just be careful," cautioned Xavier having no doubts that

as long as Severus was alive Harry would be fine.

"We will be," said Severus adamantly, he had heard

Xavier's thoughts he might not be a mutant but he was a
great wizard and he could hear people. Most assumed you
needed spells and eye contact, but having done it as long
as he did he only needed to see their eyes once. It was
mostly said to make people feel better about people
'reading their thoughts' as it was.

"Logan can you take him down? I'll deal with him another
day maybe Remus can talk some sense into him. If it
doesn't work then we let him go," said Harry adamantly.

"No problem kid," said Wolverine grinning wolfishly.

"If I'm not needed I'd like to return to my students,"

said Storm, Cyclops, Bobby and his fiancée were all
teaching classes. Rogue had taken the cure before Harry
had taken everyone out, Bobby was now able to touch her
without it causing pain, or taking away his powers. Both
seemed so much happier with it, although she needed a
new name now she wasn't Rogue anymore. She didn't have
any powers, and Harry was only glad he had known her
when she had that power.

"Thanks Storm," smiled Harry sweetly.

"No problem kiddo," laughed Storm amused with the

innocent look Harry currently supported.

"Move," snapped Wolverine bringing Harry back to the

situation at hand.

"Take me back now!" snapped Sirius angrily.

"I can't do that, I will not let you bring Dumbledore here,
and I don't care whether you believe it or not he would
see me dead. Just like my parents before me, you are
supposed to be my godfather, act like it for once in your
life." sneered Harry getting up and gesturing to Remus
and Severus to follow him.

"Wand out Lupin, better safe than sorry, Spinners End

first," said Severus holding Harry's hand.

Harry nodded in understanding he grabbed Remus' upper

arm seeing he was reluctant to touch him since he knew
he was abused. Most abused children flinched from
touch, but Harry could hardly remember what they had
done. He remembered some now thanks to Sirius Black,
but it was mostly what his cousin had done to him.
The school disappeared from sight, and the next thing
they knew they were in a bleak looking house.

"It's my parents house, I've not lived here since I was

eighteen years old," explained Severus "But I've always
put my things here, things I didn't want Dumbledore to
know about." he had never fully trusted Dumbledore.

A sudden noise caught their attention, but whoever it was

fell with a thump before they knew what happened. Harry
was grinning like a Cheshire cat, making it obvious who
had done that piece of handy work. Remus went to see
who it was while Severus was using magic to detect
anyone else in the house or nearby. Nobody else was in;
whoever it was must be the only one. Satisfied with that
Severus began summoning his things, placing them in a
bag that seemed to hold too much for its small size. It
must have been magically altered to fit everything inside
of it. It was black just like everything else Severus
seemed to own.

"It's Shacklebolt," said Remus coming back in.

"That's the best Auror?" scoffed Harry reading that in
Remus' thoughts.

"On duty yes, I wouldn't like to face Mad-Eye," said

Severus, Remus nodded in agreement. Nobody would want
to face Mad-Eye, not even the Death Eaters. He alone
had probably arrested more than anyone else in the
Auror division alone.

Mad-Eye Moody was a retired Auror, best one the

Ministry had ever seen, completely devoted to his job. He
had never married or had children; it was even less likely
now, since he was completely disfigured. He had lost an
eye and leg in his battles with Dark Wizards over the
years. His face and probably his body was littered with
scars as well, no woman in their right mind would
entertain him. Although, love wasn't exactly predictable
or about looks really, at least it wasn't supposed to be.
Mad-Eye probably wouldn't want one anyway; he was a
paranoid bastard, likely to accuse them of something
every day.
"I'll be right back," said Severus making his way down to
his makeshift potions lab. He was more careful with his
ingredients; shifting them all by hand ensuring nothing
happened. He was currently in the processes of making
his own lab in the school. As the potions classes had been
given the go ahead, they just needed to copy the books
and all was done. They wouldn't start that class till next
year though, which was half a year, six months. In that
time Severus was content to do experiments, something
he hadn't been able to do before.

Life was changing and he had one young man to thank for
it.

He owed Harry everything.

"Finished?" asked Harry once Severus came back to the

living room.

"Yes," said Severus nodding quite happily, everything he

owed was now safe.
"How did he manage to get in if your home was secure
Severus?" asked Harry looking worried.

"They have a young man named Bill Weasley in the Order,

he can see magic, and no doubt they used him to tear his
wards down. He is very powerful, more powerful than
even Dumbledore realizes I'll give him that much."
replied Severus.

"Show me what your home looks like," said Harry, he

needed to know what it looked like so he could apparate.

"Ready?" asked Harry once more once he had a grip of

them both, their other hand held their wands.

"Go," said Severus, as Remus said "Yes,"

Spinners End disappeared and if Severus' house had been

bad it was nothing on this place. It didn't look as if
someone was living there. There were two seats in the
living room, a table and a few wizarding nick knacks but
that was it completely bare. The carpet was threadbare;
he didn't want to look anywhere else for fear of what he
might find.

"Urgh rats," grimaced Harry. He would rather be

homeless than live here, rats were diseases waiting to
happen.

"Stupefy!" snarled Remus at the rat.

"I didn't know rats could think," said Harry cocking his
head to the side.

"That isn't a rat," snapped Remus walking over to the

stunned rat.

"Well Severus, it looks like you've got your chance for

revenge." stated Harry, him as well, this…rat had after
all basically murdered his parents.
"Ready?" asked Remus grimly.

"Indeed," stated Severus viciously.

One spell later the rat was turning into a disgusting

human being who actually looked like the animagus he was.

"Severus, Remus," said the rat as he tried to blend into

the wall, fat chance of that. Both men were looking at
him as if he was a very tasty morsel they had been dying
on.

"Crucio!" snarled Severus furiously; he wasn't a spy

anymore he didn't have to hold back.

Suddenly Peter Pettigrew was on the floor screaming his

lungs out, wreathing horribly under the Cruciatus curse.

"We cannot stay too long, if there was someone at

Severus' there might be someone coming here. So do
what you need to do and let's get out of here." said
Harry when Severus stopped the spell.

"Pity I didn't want him to die so soon," said Severus his

lip curled in disgust. "Crucio," he said again for once in his
existence he didn't feel sick at using the curse. If
anyone deserved it, it was this disgusting man, who had
also cursed hundred of innocents.

"Avada Kedavra," shouted Remus once Severus had

finished with Pettigrew.

"Now we can leave." he said once the green mist

disappeared.

"Does that spell hurt?" asked Harry who looked a little

pale.

"No, Harry it doesn't." said Severus softly, going up to

him and hugging him. Suddenly aware of what they had
just done might have triggered him into remembering his
parent's deaths.

Harry waved his wand in the direction of Pettigrew's

body and it disappeared without trace.

"What did you just do?" asked Remus surprised.

"Made it disappear," said Harry dryly.

"How? Where did it go?" asked Remus nobody would make

body's disappear like that it just wasn't done. Or people
would have been getting away with murder for years.

"I don't know," shrugged Harry. He had seen many

memories when Pettigrew was being tortured, what if he
had the ability to kill Voldemort. Prophecy or not…could
he really leave everyone here to the fate Voldemort
wanted for them all? He suddenly understood why
Severus had been so shocked. His world or not innocent
people were dying; he'd like to think someone would help
if it was his world.
"What are you thinking?" asked Severus he could only
read a few of the words Harry was thinking and he didn't
like what he could.

"What if I could defeat Voldemort? I could save many

innocent people who can't…" said Harry softly.

"As you said before it isn't your duty, they have to learn
to clean up after themselves instead of relying on a
child." said Severus adamantly.

"I don't know Sev, one little spell and that's it his reign
is over." replied Harry unsure.

Will Harry defeat Voldemort before going back or will

Severus talk him out of it and have an unexpected hero
rise to the occasion? if so who will it be? Neville? Luna?
if Harry does do it will he take voldemort's body to the
ministry before leaving again? or will someone take credit
for something not their doing? *cough Dumbledore
cough* and have the Order loose faith in him becuase of
his lying and speak out against him? R&R pleas

A Hero's Cry

Chapter 19

The End Of Voldemort

Severus let visions of Voldemort's hide out run past his

mind, letting Harry get a grip on it. Even without his Dark
Mark, he was unfortunately unable to speak about
anything. It's as if he had a secrecy spell on him, one
that wasn't a part of his Dark Mark. Also one that Harry
was obviously unable to detect, and it annoyed Severus to
no end. He gripped his wand, knowing what was going to
happen. He threw a look of caution towards Remus,
warning him to also be ready. Remus nodded grimly, Harry
seriously thought it would be over with one spell. Both
men were rather sceptical but knew Harry couldn't be
talked down. He was as stubborn as Severus was, they
were the perfect match but their stubbornness might
not be a good thing in their relationship.
"Let's go," said Harry wand at the ready, he did the
impossible, he apparated into probably one of the most
secure places in the wizarding world. Not even
Dumbledore had been able to breech Voldemort's
defences.

And what could only be called the most boring and mind
baffling finale battle in history. Harry did exactly as
promised, with one little spell, two words, the man who
had wreaked havoc on the world was dead.

"Avada Kedavra," said Harry, watching Voldemort's eyes

widen before his entire body stiffened in fear as the
green curse enveloped him.

"Now what?" asked Remus looking stunned. He couldn't

believe it, just like that, Voldemort was dead. Where was
the long final battle? With good and evil fighting each
other. Where was the relief that they had survived and
Voldemort had finally been brought down. Seeing it done
like this, made him think maybe Dumbledore could have
killed him all those years ago.

"Let's take him to the Ministry, I don't want Dumbledore

getting credit for this," said Severus who looked just as
stunned as Remus. Severus refused to believe that the
prophecy had been true; he instead chose to believe it
was sheer dumb luck. If he had not feared he would die
when casting the killing curse on Voldemort - he would
have done it years ago. Unfortunately Severus believed
that the mark would have killed everyone, which obviously
looked like a complete waste of thinking. Obviously.
Unless no Death Eaters were in the hide out, which would
be extremely unbelievable and unlikely.

"Do I really need to touch him?" grimaced Harry taking

one look at his scaly face and looking sick to his stomach.

"No, I'll take him," said Remus grinning slightly. He was

used to disgusting and dirty things; he had the stomach
to do it. Especially near to the full moon, even if it wasn't
right now. He grabbed a hold of the limp arm, and then
grabbed Harry with his other. Severus wrapped himself
around Harry, and showed him where he was going. They
could have apparated themselves, but they had just
gotten so used to Harry actually, being able to apparate
them exactly where they needed to be. It was much
easier and quicker, so they weren't shocked when they
landed in Madam Bones' office. Although the same
couldn't be said for the witch herself, especially when
she got a look at exactly everyone that was in her office.
Or more specifically - Voldemort in all his snakery, er
glory.

"What on earth is going on?" shrieked Bones wide eyed.

"Hi, Harry Potter, no need to tell you who that is, now
he's gone I'm going to get going," said Harry.

"Harry Potter?" gaped Bones her eyes if possible going

even wider, his jaw on the floor in shock.

"Oh boy, I'm glad I never accepted my place at Hogwarts

if this is how an adult acts," said Harry.
"Oh that's pretty mild compared to how some act," said
Remus conversationally.

"How did…you, er, defeat him," said Bones squeaking the

last word out.

"Killing curse, can we go now?" questioned Harry.

"Wait! Where have you been where are you going?" asked
Bones immediately after Harry finished his question.

"I've been living my life happy, I wasn't kidnapped I was

rescued from abuse. Now I want to go back to that life
without it being threatened by Dumbledore." said Harry
honestly.

"Dumbledore?" asked Bones confused.

"Yes," said Harry much harsher than necessary.

"Let's go we've done what they wanted," said Severus.

Suddenly a letter came into Bones' office with

IMPORTANT written across it in Dumbledore's
handwriting. Madam Bones sighed "What does he want
now?" as she opened it her eyebrows shot up and a
shocked look appeared on her face.

"What is it?" asked Severus what could Dumbledore want

that made her so shocked.

"What's going on?" asked Harry confused; they had just

been talking about finally leaving. Now both Remus and
Severus were watching this woman intently.

"Dumbledore's handwriting," said Remus at the same time

as Severus said "That's Dumbledore's writing,"

"Huh and why are we still here?" asked Harry.

"Just a second, I want to know what he's up to," said
Severus staring intently at Bones she had good mental
defences.

"Apparently thirty five students in Hogwarts have

dropped down dead. Not just dead but apparently died
with the dark mark on their arms." said Madam Bones a
tired look in her eyes.

"Thirty five?" choked Severus shocked.

Remus just closed his eyes in sadness - so much loss.

"It's bad; no doubt every Death Eater has died as well,

which means my office will be flooded with workers. I
suggest if you do not want seen, then you go and leave
now." said Madam Bones.

"Good idea!" exclaimed Harry, he didn't want to be seen

by any more Wizards or Witches come to that.
"Let's go then," said Remus.

The three of them held on to one another and apparated

back to America.

"Do you need a potion?" asked Severus keeping a tight

hold on Harry.

"No I'll be fine, I just need to sit down," said Harry.

"What's wrong?" asked Jean coming in going straight to

Harry.

"Nothing, just your son defeating Voldemort," grinned

Remus proudly.

"You did what?" shrieked Jean wide eyed.

"I'm fine, mum, please," sighed Harry.

"You might have been hurt!" said Jean.

"But I wasn't, I'm home and the wizarding world is

safer," said Harry. "And I won't be leaving again. Sev has
everything he owns here now, and so does Remus if he
does stay."

"Oh that's good," said Jean relieved. "I'm glad I'm not
going to have to worry anymore."

"Yup," said Harry he was actually glad too, it really

weakened him apparating to and from America.

"So it's over?" asked Jean for confirmation.

"Yes," said the three wizards at once.

One Year Later

"How did your classes go?" asked Remus coming into the
staff room, to where both Harry and Severus were.
Together wrapped up in each others arms glad for the
break. Harry taught others how to harness their gifts, it
helped that he knew what their gift on instinct. Remus
taught them physical fighting, defence for when they
couldn't use their powers. Severus showed them how to
brew potions, and he let the older years actually invent
their own.

"The usual," laughed Harry.

"They are never as much trouble as the students at

Hogwarts," said Severus.

"As usual Sev, you're right!" said Remus helping himself

to a cup of coffee.

Suddenly Harry went tense, his eyes closed, his teeth

gritted.
"What is it?" asked Remus rushing over abandoning his
coffee.

"Someone needs help," groaned Harry. "They are hurt."

"Did you get it too?" asked Jean and Xavier coming in

both looked as though they had a serious migraine.

"Yes," said Harry.

"It's like the time we saved you, maybe its time for you
to repay the favour," said Xavier.

"Yes it is." replied Harry.

Three months Later

"How's my favourite nephew?" cooed Remus.

"He's your only nephew," snorted Harry. "He's fine, still a
little jumpy and scared but it will fade with time." Harry
could hardly believe that the boy had managed to call him
for help. It was obvious he was going to be very powerful,
and who better to raise him than Severus and Harry. The
little boy had been six months old when he called Harry
to him. He was now nearly ten months old, and was getting
used to his new life away from abuse.

"I'm glad," said Remus, unfortunately Cole was still wary

of most adults. He was slowly but eventually getting used
to him. Harry and Severus had saved him so there was a
bond there, that wasn't with him and Cole.

Cole Matthews was his name of course with being

adopted he was now Cole Matthew Potter-Snape.

"Yeah, me and Sev have decided to go part time, until its

time for him to start school," said Harry.
"Good idea," said Remus nodding his head.

"It's a good job you and Sev are here, his magic is really
powerful, his wizarding powers at least." said Harry, he
was better at his mutant powers than his magical ones.
Apart from apparating but thankfully, Cole wasn't able to
do that yet. Hopefully not any time soon either.

"Well he won't be able to learn anything for a few years

yet," said Remus honestly.

"I know," said Harry.
