Chapter 13

Harry was quite satisfied with what he saw in the Greengrass Heiress.

His counterpart would have been staying away from her as far away as possible, as the girl first and utmost is an Heiress of old family.

She would despise the Golden Boy for multiple reasons, yet he is not Golden Boy making him a very lucrative target for her.

The Peverell saw how the Heiress looked at him after experiencing his technomancy.

Such a calculating look should not be on the face of an eleven-year-old girl, but there it was.

Harry has no doubt she was raised from an early age to understand politics and stuff related to her family business.

On one side he is impressed how long her family survived, on the other side he was utterly disappointed how they lost what makes a magical family... magical.

As he saw that this girl sees magic as nothing more than a tool for her family business.

Not something like reality-bending powers with unlimited potential for many things...

'Well, we will see how this goes.'

Harry thought to himself as he was walking toward his next class.

Soon enough he will have to experience his first potion class.

For now, he has to experience some theory crap for Transfiguration…

~~~~~~After the Class~~~~~~

After listening to a boring lecture about transfiguration theory Harry went to the dungeons where the Potion class is.

The temperature instantly dropped considerably, and just like previous Professors, Snape doesn't allow students to wait in the classroom.

So, he needed to wait for the 'dungeon bat' to arrive.

Yes, it's one of his many 'titles' the man posses.

Dungeon Bat, The greasy git, the eternal sneer…those are just a few titles the man posses.

He has more titles than Dumbledore has, which is absurd if you think about it.

The guy is so disliked that people named him so much that he surpassed Dumbledore in titles…

That's an achievement on its own!

The Potions Professor arrive just on time. Dressed in green robes which were billowing behind him like some cape, no doubt some sort of charm which Harry is itching to get his hands on.

Why? Because it's just awesome! One thing which he can respect the man for, apart from his achievements in potions.

The man is the most achieved Potion Master in Britain, Harry can understand the Slytherins dislike of teaching in a school, with lots of people like Weasley who don't understand the art, he won't be pissed if someone looked at his technomancy like that.

Nonetheless, those are two things which Harry respects the man for, it doesn't mean he will look away from everything else he did…

Soon enough after allowing to enter the class, Harry found his seat, not long after that, the dungeon bat started to do roll call.

…

…

…

"Potter, Harry… our celebrity…" That moment there was direct eye contact with him.

That moment Harry felt a freaking mental probe!

'This guy is nuts!' Harry for a second could not believe this man is breaking the law like that!

But, this gives Harry permission to do whatever he wants!

If he is to do something to Snape it would mean self-defence! Not that many will realise what is going on.

That moment a feral grin appeared on the Peverell face as he used his Mind Arts, this was the first time he used his arts on a wizard apart from a casual probe…

So, he yanked the probe away and traced it back to his mind.

Where he started to rip memories like a vacuum cleaner collecting dusk, he took everything and shredded the mind into a million pieces.

The best part of this…

Everything happened in less than a second.

No one even noticed how Snape's eyes changed, from full of life to dull hollow like in that one second.

Very next moment the man simply collapsed, while Harry stored his memories in his mental library.

He very quickly sorted the memories out, all the potion knowledge was stored next to Alchemy.

The rest he will do it later.

Peverell finds everything he knows about Potions quite fascinating, it will take time to properly assimilate everything, even so, he is not in rush.

"Professor!!!" One of Hufflepuff quickly got on her feet and rushed to the Dungeon Bat.

These kids have not experienced what kind of person Snape is, so they are quite concerned about him.

While others quickly started to talk with hushed voices, some of them looked at Harry, the Purebloods even had a hunch what just happened.

It's just a theory, but people don't just collapse like that!

"Can someone call another Professor?" The Hufflepuff girl asked everyone.

Another Hufflepuff nodded at her and rushed through the doors, while the rest just looked at this development with curious looks.

Not many felt anything for the Professor, the first years already heard 'legends' about this man…

Few minutes later the Deputy Headmistress arrived at the classroom.

"What happened here?" She asked with a voice full of authority.

"P-Professor Snape was doing roll call before he just collapsed!" One of Hufflepuffs said with a scared look, he was affected by an adult person's serious look.

"He said Potter's name, he called him a celebrity before he collapsed." One of muggleborn Ravenclaw's said trying to get into Deputy Headmistress good graces.

Harry internally sighed, the teacher's pets are always annoying to deal with.

"Potter, do you know what happened to Professor Snape?" She asked him while walking over to the drooling Potions Professor.

"He tried to use Legilimency on me, my mental barriers snapped back at him," Harry said with a shrug.

Multiple gasps spread through the classroom, there were several confused looks too.

Professor McGonagall sighed hearing that, she did not expect Snape to use his Legilimency on young Potter. But, then again he...dislikes him a lot, even if he only has some similarities with James Potter.

"I see, I will take him to Pomfrey, for now, it's a self-study class. read on Potions."

Deputy Headmistress made Snape's body float while she said that to the class.

Most of Hufflepuff's happily nodded while most of Ravenclaws sighed in disappointment, they already experienced History of Magic which was something akin to self-study…

Now another class like that?

Once the older witch left everyone looked at Harry.

"W-What happened Harry? Why Professor Snape collapsed like that?" Lisa, one of Ravenclaws asked him.

"He tried to use mind-reading magic on me. But, my mental barriers snapped back at his attack." The Peverell casually answered her question.

"Mind reading magic? Such thing exist?" The Ravenclaw girl asked with utter disbelief.

Some purebloods snorted at her, others were shocked just like her.

"We have dragons, centaurs, unicorns, soul-sucking monsters, and you still asking me if mind-reading exist?" He asked with raised eyebrow, making her mouth shut instantly.

"You live in a magical world right now, there are many beautiful things and there are many horrifying things, I suggest taking your studies very seriously." He offered some advice, the girl very seriously nodded at him.

~~~~~~After Classes~~~~~~

Harry was in his workshop already working on creating a database for his potions.

This was a very good test for future database creations, his final goal in this is to create artificial intelligence.

And this is just one of many phases he needs to pass to even think of having artificial intelligence.

He has no idea how magically created one even going to work.

Should he even call it an M.A.I?

A Magical Artificial Intelligence?

Nonetheless, he started with a basics program to store information, something quite similar to excel he used to use back in his previous life.

From there he advance with creating a primitive search engine…

Around a couple of hours into his work, he heard doors opening and a fellow Ravenclaw entered inside.

"Hey Harry! I heard what happened with Professor Snape, I heard Headmaster would like to speak with you."

"Yet he could not find you anywhere." She said this part with amusement and even some awe.

"Well, I am not interested in talking with him today, so I will see him tomorrow." Harry shrugged at her while saying that.

"...You are probably the only wizard in the world who could say that." Cho could not believe that Harry doesn't feel any sort of respect for the Headmaster and publicly acknowledged the world strongest Wizard.

"I am, and I don't care." Harry shrugged at her again, and the girl just sighed at him.

She walked over and took her seat on the couch next to Harry's.

The girl then pulled out her books and started to do her homework.

The ravenhaired girl is doing what she said she would, and that is using Harry's place to do homework and heard directly from the source about the rumours she heard about him.

He was only here for a week and yet already he has earned a bunch of points for Ravenclaw and did all the spells on the first try.

This year already seems to be more interesting than her first one.

As the girl started to get into her work, Harry on other hand was finishing with the barebones of his database, he even added a primitive search function to quickly look for information.

Perfectly honest it looked very primitive which he could barely look at. But, it was a good start.

He quickly added some information he got from Snape, after doing that he realised that potions is a very wide type of art, even more diverse than Alchemy.

Which he found quite baffling. But, it did make sense as it uses organic substances.

After realising that he returned to his database and started to add more to it, some of the potions he learned from Snape require several weeks to make.

*Sigh*

'I need to add that too…'

"I finished with homework!" Harry snapped from his work when he heard that.

"Do you need any help? You doing that Potion thing right?" The girl asked him curiously.

"Yeah… let me show you what I did so far." He nodded at her question while motioning for her to come over.

She did so quickly and Harry showed the early stages of the database.

"Over here you can enter what kind of potion or ingredient you want and then…" Harry entered a word in the search bar.

"You get results where this ingredient can be used or the potion which the ingredient is used in." He explained to her.

"...so convenient…" She said that while still thinking of uses for this!

"Yes, this still is in its infancy, as later on, I am planning to make it into something where one can theorize about potions."

"Theorize?" She asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Yes, since it's a will be a complete 'information centre' one will be able to theorize on potions which don't even exist!" He explained with a smirk as the girl started to understand what he means.

"For example, you can select multiple ingredients and this will show you a percentage of what it might can be."

"...Amazing...such thing would revolutionise the Wizarding world!"

Harry just rolled his eyes at her, he already heard that today!

"Yes, yes. Anyway… Let me make a laptop for you and so that you could help me in filling up the potion database."

The girl nodded with excitement when she heard that, this is going to be so interesting!

Pity that she doesn't realise how Harry is going to use her for free labour…

Well, she will be using this database in future anyway, and Harry only cares about the mechanics in the background, not the information it has on potions…

"Doesn't it going to take long to make one?" She asked curiously as she followed him to the main workshop area.

"Not really, what took the longest is to invent it, after that, I can make one in just less than a day." He explained with a shrug as he checked out the raw materials he got from the classroom before he turned into his workshop.

"I see…"

She didn't know how to feel about that… Making artefacts shouldn't be an easy thing, is it?
