Teachers pt.1
Harry looked around the place he landed quickly, he seemed to be in a different part of England, before he was directed by a Goblin to go into a room. Inside this room he could see clothes and a couple of people reading and writing. One of the people reading stopped and looked up at Harry.
"Hello, you must be new here! I'm Torsest. Just take a bed which isn't already. The bathroom is just outside that door there and all our clothes are kept in the trunks at the foot of our respective beds."
Harry followed Torsest's instructions and drank his potion before getting in bed and falling asleep.
In the following month Harry and Torsest became friends though they never got close but they found they enjoyed talking about politics and spell theory together. Harry was also growing and filling out but it would be a few months more before he could stop the potions. Harry had told Torsest about his failure of Occlumency classes with Snape one day and Torsest decided that they should practice together since it is a good skill to have in politics.
"Harry, look at it this way. You can look Snape in the eyes and smile and he won't even know what you are thinking!"
Harry had to give it to Torsest that did sound fun, Snape would be confused which was an emotion he wanted to see on Snape. As Harry practiced Occlumency he found that he didn't hate Malfoy but he was still a git and found Ron the same, Ron got jealous too easily to be considered a good friend and Hermione stood back and only really talked to him when he needed to study or she had information or she just wanted to yell and hit someone smaller than her.
Harry decided that he would forgive them if they change, though he did not hink they will as they only got worse as they got older.
A few months after that a Goblin came up to Harry and told him his next portkey was ready to take that evening. Harry packed his few belongings up and went to say goodbye to Torsest and his other aquaintences.
"Here Harry, it's our floo addresses and that bracelet is from me. Come for a chat when you have the time, I want to know what you get up to on your great adventure."
At Harry's next destination he was met by a pround looking elderly man who introduced himself as Nicolas who would teach him both French and Potions, they were actually in France which Harry was excited about.
Harry spent a good few months in France with Nicolas learning French and becoming good at Potions though he would not get his Mastery unless he practiced often for the next few years. Nicolas also tought him some runes and gave him books in french to continue to stufy them in, he figured it will keep his French level up while learning more about something new. At this time Harry had grow to his full height and Nicolas made him a potion to fix his eyesight which Harry of course got to make and found surprisingly easy.
Nicolas and Harry had at some point started comversing exclusively in French and even had a few dinners in a completely French resturant. Nicolas had helped Harry start to build confidence in himself and was glad to see Harry leave better that he arrived, both mentally and physically.
