Chapter 6
Neville had a great summer if he excluded a house elf named Dobby who had appeared in his room telling him that he should not return to Hogwarts because something bad was going to happen. Of course he did not listen to him and on September 1 he went to King Cross station to take the train to Hogwarts and when he went to cross the platform 9¾ but the platform had closed by making him hit hard on the wall,luckily his gran was there sent a letter to Dumbledore who sent McGonagall to take him straight to Hogwarts.
He went to the great hall and waited for the other students to come. His gran told him that Harry Potter was coming to Hogwarts this year and he wanted to meet him, their parents were friends and his mom was his godmother.
The students finally arrived and he saw Ron and Hermione.
"Neville" said Hermione and hugged him "where were you? We searched the whole train."
"Yeah dude we didn't find you anywhere," Ron said.
"The platform was closed and I could not get through, the gran sent a letter to Dumbledore and McGonagall came and brought me to Hogwarts."
"Ginny will get sort this year, I bet she'll be in Gryffindor," Ron said.
"Surely your whole family is in Gryffindor" I said.
"Yes, I know, but I'm still afraid he might go to another house, imagine her going to Slytherin, my own sister," Ron said.
"She is your sister, wherever she goes, you should support her," Hermione said annoying.
"Even to Slytherin?" Ron said with a smirk.
"Yes even in Slytherin" said Hermione.
Ron went to say something but Hermione hit him on the hand showing him the first years that entered in the Great hall.
He looked around to see a boy who would look like James Potter in the photos but there was no one who looked like him.
After many names, McGonagall finally said
"Potter, Hadrian"
And while he was waiting to see a boy with messy hair and glasses looking like James Potter as his grandmother had told him he would look like, he saw a completely different boy.
He was a little taller than the other boys of his age with black hair with a shade of blue and wore silver rings in each ear, a piercing in the eyebrow and what impressed him was a scar horizontally on his neck under his jaw.
He sat down, and McGonagall put the sorting hat on his head. After a while the hat said "SLYTHERIN" and I saw him go to Slytherin's table and sit with 2 girls who were in my year and a girl with blond hair which I think she was called Daphne Greengrass to go and kiss him on the cheek and he to turn so that they kiss on the lips.
"He's a year younger than us and he's already kissed a girl," Ron said with a little jealousy.
"And it does not seem to be the first time he has kissed a girl" Hermione said.
"And how do you know that?" Ron asked.
"He turned his head very easily as if he had done it several times and besides that he acted like kiss was nothing, most boys his age would go liks crazy if they kissed a girl for the first time" said Hermione.
"Lucky" Ron said, glancing at him. "What does he have that I do not?"
"Well he's handsome and he has that bad kid style," Hermione blushed.
"Besides, his whole life is unknown, he is the last Potter that no one knows with whom and where he grew up" Dean said.
"A Potter in Slytherin" Lavender Brown said.
"What's wrong with that?" Hermione asked.
"The Potters were in Gryffindor for many generations, few went to Hufflepuff and some to Ravenclaw but none to Slytherin, Potter is the first Slytherin after many generations" Ron said. "But as far as I know Harry's grandmother James's mother was a Black and Slytherin" Ron continued.
"Does Potter have black blood in his veins?" Levanta asked.
Ron nodded in agreement.
The next day I went for breakfast with Ron and Hermione i saw Potter go to Slytherin's table any Slytherin go away from him and Malfoy get up and sit as far away from Potter as possible.
"Did you see that?" I asked Ron and Hermione.
"wat?" Ron asked with food in his mouth.
"Ron eat and then talk," Hermione scolded."Yes, Neville, I saw it."
"What happened;" Ron asked after swallowing.
"Slytherin avoids him and Malfoy seems to be afraid of him," Hermione replied.
"Really? That's good" Ron said.
"No, it's not for as long as we know it can do something bad to Malfoy," Hermione said.
"What do we care about? Malfoy is, for as long as I'm interested he can go off a cliff if he wants to," Ron said.
"Ron! this is not the issue, the issue is that he can do it to someone other than Malfoy," Hermione said angrily.
"We have to watch him," I said and Hermione nodded.
"Neither would I dare say that," said Fred or George.
"Imagine Snape's face when he said it" Lee Jornan told to Fred and George and they began to laugh.
"What happened?" Asked Ron.
"The first year Slytherin Ravenclaw had potion with Snape today-" Fred or George began
"And he asked Potter a question-" the other continue
"Potter answer I do not know-"
"And Snape said sir-"
"And Potter said-"
"You don't need to call me sir" said together and started laught.
"He must have big balls to said that to Snape" Angelina said.
"He get detention and Snape told him that even James Potter's had not get detention his first day" Lee Jordan said.
"In two weeks is the match against Slytherin" Ron said.
"Yes, Oliver makes us train all day" Fred grumbled.
"He's mental" Katie said.
Harry woke up the morning of the quidditch match with a little anxiety, he never had anxiety he does not know why now, he took a shower got dressed and went down to find Theo and the girls.
"Good morning guys" I greeted and we started going to the big hall.
"Anxious?" Daphne asked.
"Nah."
"Yes, right" Theo said.
"Great Harry Potter never has anxiety and for nothing," I said, puffing my chest.
They laughed.
"Then the great Harry Potter would not want to kiss to get rid of his anxiety?" Said Daphne with a smile.
"Of course he wants it not because he has anxiety but for good luck" I said and they laughed.
"In your dreams Potter " Daphne said.
"So tonight I will dream of Daphne Greengrass kissing me" i said with a smile.
Daphne laughed and hit me in the hand "idiot."
"Today is our first match and we are playing against Gryffindor" said Flint walking "we will not let these idiots win us, the cup is ours!" he said and we went out to the Quidditch field.
He put the nimbus 2001 sponsored by Malfoy's dad and kicked hard until he went up in the air.
Lee Jordan a 4th year Gryffindor was talking about the match "And the Slytherins, led by Flint, go out on the field, the beaters are Peregrine Derrick and Lucian Bole, the keeper is Miles Bletchley, the chasers are Flint, Montague and wait a minute is this Potter? Harry Potter's first year is Slytherin's new chaser and the new Slytherin seeker is Draco Malfoy" a loud noise came from the Slytherins.
"Madam Hooch whistled and the match began" Lee Jordan said "And Flint takes the quaffle and throws it to Potter, Potter shoots and it's 10 points to Slytherin."
"Nice Potter" Flint said.
"Johnson has the quaffle, Potter went and takes it out of her hands, throws it at Montague how score 20 points to Slytherin."
After 50 minutes the score was 170-30 with Slytherin winning and he have scored 10 goals.
"Come on Malfoy caught the snitch" shouted Flint.
Neither of the teams have caught the snitch yet, and Potter has the quaffle and in a pretense he makes an incredible shot and scores a goal with the score being 180-30 with Slytherin leading and Potter having put the more goals."
"The snitch" I told Flint, pointing him the snitch that was in Malfoy's ear and he could not see it.
"Where?" said Flint.
"Next to Malfoy's ear, the fool does not see it" I said.
"If it weren't for the brooms his father gave him, he would never be in the team" said Flint, who started shouting at Malfoy about the snitch.
Malfoy turned and started chasing the snitch.
"Malfoy saw the snitch and he catches it and Slytherin wins 240-30" said Lee Jordan sadly.
And Slytherin started cheering and shouting "POTTER."
We went down to the stadium and went to the locker rooms to take a shower and change.
"You were great out there Potter, with you in the team we will definitely win the cup" said Flint.
"Party in the common room, Potter be there" said Bole.
"Sure" I said and went to take a shower.
After the shower I wore black skinny jeans anda short sleeve dark green t shirt and went with the other players of the team to the common room that was becoming a party.
Some older students had brought food and drinks from her kitchens and some bottles of firewhisky from what Teo had told him.
After a while he got bored, he had more fun at the muggle parties he went to. He got up and went to talk to Flint.
"Where are you going?" Tracey asked.
"To give a little life to this party" I said.
"Hello Harry, come have a drink," Flint said and give him a glass.
he drink it and felt it burn his throat "what is this?"
Flint looked at him strangely "firewhisky, most people when they drink for the first time they start coughing but you drink it like like if it were water."
"I have drink stronger alcohol" I said and i drink an another glass.
"Are you are underage who found alcohol?" asked an older student.
"Muggle," I said.
"And they give alcohol to underage" another asked.
"Who said they give it?" I asked with a sly smile.
"You stole it" Flint said consciously, and then laughed.
"I did not come here to talk about where I steal alcohol from" I said and they laughed.
"Well?" Gemma said 5 year prefect.
"I came to suggest to play a game" i said.
"We are not children, we do not play games," said an older year.
"Well if you do not want to leave, but then do not come and say you want to play" I said looking at him.
"Good" he said and got up with 2 of his friends and left.
"How do you play this game?" Montague asked.
"The game called truth or dare, I choose a person for example Flint and I ask him truth or dare"
"Truth" Flint said.
"Is it true that you love Longbottom?" I asked smiling.
"What!? No!" said Flint and everyone laughed.
"If someone says dare you say you have the dare to kiss Snape for example" I said with a smile and heard a lot "eww."
"I want to play," said a girl.
"Me too," said another girl.
"Those who want to play, let them make a circle" said and several people came. Most were older years because the the younger years either went to bed or were afraid to play.
"Well, Flint started" I said.
"Montague, truth or dare?" Flint asked.
"Truth" he said, glancing at Flint who was now smiling.
"It is true that you are a virgin?" said Flint with a wicked smile.
"Yes" said Montague blushing.
"Potter, truth or dare?" He asked me.
"Dare" i said smiling.
"Do you dare to take off your shirt for the rest of the game" said Montague.
I raised an eyebrow and took off my t-shirt "The next time something difficult Montague" I said and looked at the other players. "Gemma truth or dare?" I asked.
"Dare."
"I dare you to kiss Avery on the mouth for 20 seconds" I said and whistles were heard.
Gemma and Avery, who was in 5 year, looked at each other and started blushing.
"Don't be a pussy" someone said.
Gemma got up and after I had time she started kissing Avery for 20 seconds.
When they finished, they had both turned red.
"Megan truth or dare" she ask.
"Dare" she said
"I dare you to sit in Potter's arms for 20 minutes." She said with smiling to me.
He got up, came and sat on my lap.
The game continued for an hour, they had taken off their T-shirts, their shoes, they had kissed others and more.
"Well, it's better to go to sleep, it's been 2 and if Snape finds us awake at such an hour and in this situation he will kill us" said Avery.
The weeks passed without much trouble except for a few reservations given to him by Snape for nonsense such as because I had unbuttoned my shirt or because I was not wearing my robe, because I was breathing very loudly and for various other reasons.
Today was Halloween, the day his parents died and the day was not going well, in the morning he woke up from a nightmare from that day and when he went to the bathroom he stumbled, hitting his head. He went down to the common room where he met Theo, Daphne and Tracy and they went to the great hall.
The lessons were boring and he was waiting for them to end. He left the history class when he met Theo.
"Hello Harry," Teo said.
"Hello Teo" I said.
"I'm going to the great hall will you come?" Teo asked.
"No I'm not in the mood" I said and saw the awareness in Teo's eyes.
"You know I'm here to talk if you ever need Harry" he said.
"Yes I know, thank you" I said and left for the common room.
~Hello Hades~ I said and searched for the pack of my cigarettes.
~Hello master where are you going?~ he asked and slipped towards me.
~I'm going for a walk do you want to come?~ I asked.
~Yes master~ he said and slipped into my hand.
~Just yell at Harry how many times have I told Hades?~
~Many times Harry, many.~
After 2 cigarettes in the Astronomy tower I started walking in the hallway explore the castle with Hades.
~I have a Hades question~ I said.
~What question Harry?~ He asked.
~Did you say that your memories were passed from generation to generation correctly?~
~Yes.~
~That is why you know so much about magic, how was magic and culture then?~ I asked.
~It was different years young master, the magicians hid from those you call muggles, killed them and burned them so the magicians were forced to hide and create their own culture, the muggles should never know about magic because maybe the years have passed but people will always be afraid of what they can not understand, you have to remember that Harry~ said Hades. ~There will be a war Harry and you will be in the middle of it, your magic is too strong to not take part, both sides will want you but you will have to choose Harry and you will have to choose correctly.~
~I hope you are there to advise me Hades~ I said with a smile to Hades.
~Until my last breath~ Hades said.
~We will fall together Hades~ I said.
I was walking a little further in silence when I saw 3 Gryffindor students and from what I could recognize were Longbottom, Weasley and Granger or as some Slytherin called them the golden trio.
~Hades hide~ I whistled quietly.
Longbottom saw me and came up to me bringing with him and his friends "Hello, I'm Neville Longbottom" he said awkwardly.
I raised an eyebrow at him "Harry Potter."
"This is Ron and Hermione," he continued.
"Okay, can i help you somehow?"
Longbottom seemed even more uncomfortable now "Well our parents knew, basically your mom was my godmother and so I wanted to meet you" he blushed.
"Look Longbottom I never knew my parents and I do not know anything about them, all I know is that my dad's names was James and my mom was Lily, I'm not my parents and it's not good for either of us if we hung out together" I said as simply as possible.
"Why?" Longbottom looked disappointed.
"I'm Slytherin, you're Gryffindor, you've probably noticed that."
"Yes, but what does this have to do with anything?" he asked confused.
"A halfblood wizard who is in Slytherin and hangs out with the boy who lived, how do you think this will look to Slytherin's?"
"I do not know," Longbottom said.
"Well not good anyway" i said.
"You snakes are all the same" the Weasley said.
"No we are not, Slytherin we are not all like Malfoy, have you met anyone other than Malfoy in Slytherin? No? so you see people like Mafloy are the ones who spoiled the image of Slytherin, almost all the rest of us we are fine" i said and i start to go to the common room.
"So what did you do in Malfoy that scares you so much that he changes direction when he sees you?" Granger asked.
"A magician never reveals his secrets" i told to Granger, winking at her, causing her to blush.
We turned into the next hallway and we stopped at what we saw.
"What is this?" Said Longbottom, looking pale and showing something hanging.
"It could be a prank" Weasley said.
"I do not think it's a joke" Granger said.
"The chamber of secrets has been opened, enemies of the hair...beware" i read "Better to leave."
"What?" Longbottom said.
"If they find us here everyone will believe that we did this" i explain.
"Too late," Weasley said, looking in the direction the students were coming.
"Damn" i said.
The hallway was quickly filled with students whispering about what had happened.
"Move aside" Filch voice was heard.
"Mrs. Norris?" He whined, then turned and looked at Longbottom. "You, what did you do to my cat? I will kill you."
"Argus" Dumbledore came but he froze for a second when he saw the scene "All the prefects take the students to the common rooms, all but you for" he said and showed us.
When everyone left, Lockhart said "You can come to my office Headmaster, it is the closest"
"Thank you Gilderoy" Dumbledore said.
We went to Lockhart's office which was full of portraits of him, one portrait of Lockhart that was smilening, another that make his hair and other different portraits with him, it was creepy.
Dumbledore went over to Filch cat and began to examine her.
"Is not dead Argus" Dumbledore said. she has petrified, how I do not know "
"She is not dead?" Filch asked.
"She has petrifield" Dumbledore answer. "How i don't know."
"Ask him," he said, pointing to Longbottom.
"A second year can not do that" said Dumbledore.
He did it! "Filtch shouted" Did you see what he wrote on the wall! ..... he found .... in my office ..... he knows I'm ....... he knows i'm squib" he end.
"I never touched Mrs. Norris" Longbottom said.
"Lies" shouted Filtch. "He saw the letter in my office."
"Longbottom and his friends may have been in the wrong place at the wrong time" he said with a sneer "but you have to admit that there are a number of coincidences. What job did you have on the 2rd floor? and why weren't you at the Halloween feast?"
Longbottom, Weasley and Granger all started talking together about a death party "We saw a lot of ghosts, they will confirm you that we were there."
"And then why didn't you come to the party?" Snape asks. Weasley and Granger looked at Longbottom.
"Because ..... because" Longbottom hesitated "we were tired and wanted to go to bed" he finally said.
"Without eating? I do not think there is normal food at the ghost party," Snape said, glancing at them.
"We were not hungry," Weasley said, his stomach rumbling.
"I think that Longbottom is not telling the truth Headmaster" Snape said with a wicked grin.
"Innocent until proof against Severus" Dumbledore said.
"My cat petrified," shouted Filtch. "I demand that the guilty be punished."
"We will cure her Argus" Dumbledore said, then turning in the direction of Longbottom said "You can go."
I was about to leave when I heard Dumbledore say, "No you Mr. Potter, I want to talk to you."
I watched Longbottom with Weasley and Granger leaving, I turned back to Dumbledore who looked me in the eye, I immediately looked away remembering what Hades had said about people that can read minds with watch you in the eyes.
"How can I help you, Headmaster?" I asked without meeting his eyes.
"You were not at the feast today Harry, can I know where you were?" Dumbledore asked.
'No you can not' "I was in the Astronomy Tower sir" i said.
"And what did you do at the Potter Astronomy tower?" asked Snape mockingly.
I ignored Snape and turned to the Director who was looking at me with a calm look. "If this is all sir I would like to go back to my dorm."
"Yes Harry of course, if you remember anything else come to my office to tell me good night" Dumbledore said.
"Good night sir, professors" i said and i leave.
When I arrived at the common room they were all gathered and they was looking at me some with scared and some as if I were Merlin.
There is absolute silence no one dared to speak.
"Are you the heir of Slytherin Potter?" someone asked.
"Yes and no," I said. "What does this mean?" Avery asked.
"It means that yes as far as I know I am Slytherin's heir since I can speak parselmouth but I am not Slytherin's heir who petrified Filtch's cat" i said.
"Do you know who killed Filtch's cat? "Asked a 3rd year.
"First no one killed Filtch's cat but he was petrified and second no I do not know who he is" I said and left to go to my dorm I needed a cigarette.
After clearing my mind I turned my head to Hades that has curled up in my chest.
~When are we going to take the next step in occluments Hades?~ I asked.
~I think you're ready, master~ said Hades. ~For the next step, I want you to clear your mind and concentrate on my voice.~
I cleared my mind of all my thoughts and concentrated on Hades's voice.
~When you're ready shake your head~ Hades said.
I shake my head.
~I want you to think that you have something valuable, something of your own that you do not want anyone else to acquire, something that you have to hide so that no one will ever find it and you want to hide it as well as you can, you thought that Harry?~ Hades asked calmly.
I nodded.
~Now think that this precious thing that you do not want to find, you have to hide it, somewhere where no one will find it somewhere that will be well guarded.~
I nodded again.
~Where you will hide it you have to put a protection, but the protection you will put should not be seen because it will be suspicious, so you have to put a protection somewhere else so that they think that you have hidden it there and they are looking for what hide is there but it will be somewhere else and completely safe.~
I nodded.
~Now think that this precious thing you want to hide are your memories, your most important and dangerous memories and you have to hide them, you hide where they do not seem with the best protection and in another place hide memories that may believe that are important but not just to think they are and not to look any further and put protection that is impressive, put a fire dragon, a huge castle and traps that protect it and will fall into the bait trying to get past the traps and if someone will pass their mind he will be so tired that he will not notice their false memories thinking they are true and there Harry is when you will have succeeded in protecting your mind~ Hades said.
I thought of the mountains and the snow, a snowy castle with a small forest next to it, a big dragon coming out of its mouth instead of fire freezing everything was in front of the castle entrance standing there white as snow and proud of the icy his blue eyes to watch. And I made memories that could be considered important but they were nothing more than lies and I put her deep in the depths of the dungeon of the castle with the cold falling on me, making it impossible for anyone to go and survive. And I hid my true memories of her in a mountain with a lake nearby and i put animals to watch them and whoever approached the place would freeze, and whoever touched the tree in the lake would find himself swimming with sharks and who touches the mountain comet sky it would rain.
I opened my eyes ~I did it Hades, i did it~ I said happily.
Hades nodded in agreement. ~You are a strong wizard Harry most magicians when using occlumency simply have shields like walls or something to protect their mind, some magicians show which memories they want but this method you did Harry is the strongest but it has been lost for centuries and no one remembers it to use it or learn it from others.~
~Thank you Hades for all of the help, I really appreciate it~ I said with a smile to Hades.
~Always Harry, I will be there to help you.~
~Do you know what happend to Filch cat?~ I ask.
~As the old man said something like this could be dark magic but such a dark magic we would feel in the castle, especially the old man his magic is very strong and he has years of experience so he could feel such magic. Whatever he did this you have to be careful Harry, because that is just the beginning~ Hades said.
