Chapter 16

By the time girls have left his workshop he was halfway to making another magic pod. Harry needed to pretend that he is following what Cho insisted on doing.

Meaning that he shouldn't be pulling the all-nighters.

So after everyone went to sleep Harry left Ravenclaw tower and went to the workshop where he continued to work on the Magic Pod.

When morning arrived he was done with another one. But then he had to get his breakfast…

Then all the nonsense started to happen.

Midway through his bacon, the head of Gryffindor approached him. It appears it's time to talk with Dumbledore…

"Mr Potter, please follow me to the Headmaster's office." The deputy Headmistress sharply told him to follow her.

Harry didn't say anything instead he just started following the older witch.

It's quite something else that he dodged this from Friday to the Weekend and towards Monday morning.

Walking through the corridors and eventually arriving in front of Gargoyles.

"Jelly Beans"

The moment the elderly witch said that the Gargoyles moved away and shown stairs which lead to the Headmaster's office.

~~~

"Ah, Mr Potter, my boy, it would seem we finally caught you! We have been trying to find you since Friday afternoon." The Merlin wannabe said with an amused and fatherly tone, he motioned for Harry to take his seat.

"Truly? Didn't notice. What is that you wish to discuss?" The artificer responded as he took his seat opposite to the Headmaster.

"It's about Professor Snape. He is still out cold after the whole incident in your Potion class." He sombrely explained.

Harry pretended to be shocked for a bit.

"Truly? Then his mental defences are quite lacking if he couldn't take the rebound." The Peverell quite casually shrugged while saying that.

"...I wish to know what truly happened that day." The Headmaster said with quite a serious tone.

He got an eye roll from Harry as he put his index finger on the side of his forehead. He then pulled out a silvery line of some sort which Dumbledore realised that it was a memory!

Moments later he made the silver line converge in his palm and he then turned it into a mist and placed it on the table.

Second later Headmaster saw an image of Snape…

"Potter, Harry… our celebrity…"

The image of Snape spoke. There was direct eye contact…and then the Professor collapsed.

"As you can see I just showed the memory of that event. Here he made direct eye contact and uses Legimency."

"...I see… this was…something he initiated. I am more interested in how you learned all this?" The Headmaster asked with a curious look. Completely forgetting about Snape since he saw that he was guilty…

"How? How do people learn how to read? By practising. I was left to my own devices. According to some people, I am a Savant. I learned that direct eye contact is the gateway to one's soul. So I tried and learned how to read minds then I tried to access my memories.

I am pretty sure as experienced as you are Headmaster you can understand the rest."

"...So you telling me you are… self-taught?" He said that with a baffled tone.

"Indeed I am. I have created my version of Occlumency and Legitimacy."

"...Legitimacy is quite dangerous magic and shouldn't be used liberally." The Headmaster said quite sharply. He can't believe Harry is so…developed.

This is way above what the old wizard has expected!

"Indeed. Your Professor found the hard way what happens when it's used so liberally." Harry sagely agreed with the Headmaster. Who for a second looked like he just swallowed a lemon.

The old man didn't expect such a comeback…

"...*Sigh*"

"I would like to ask what happened to your guardians. When I went to check on them I found out that they have no idea who you are. Or that you even exist…" The Merlin Wannabe changed the theme of conversation.

Getting to what he truly wanted to know. Harry is more than happy to explain his side of things…

"That's because I erased their memories about me. It was for their happiness. After all, they despise magic. So I took the liberty and erased my existence from their lives. They should continue to believe they live in a dream where magic kind doesn't exist." With a shrug, Harry explained what happened.

"That is quite kind of you, Mr Potter. I saw what kind of people they are." The Deputy Headmistress nodded at what the Ravenclaw did.

"However, I placed you there for your protection…" The headmaster said with a frown. He wants to know where the boy has been all those years.

"I am more than capable of protecting myself. I could easily hide from magic kind since I was just a boy. Now I can do that even better.

Regardless of what you might think I don't have reason to tell you anything." As Harry said that he showed his hand which had two rings.

"Magic found me worthy to hold the title of Lord Peverell. Something that even my father and grandfather couldn't do."

This time the Headmaster needed to fix his glasses for a bit as he inspected the young Peverell's hand. He saw the ring with a symbol he is quite familiar with…

What he saw was most likely a monumental thing. He never in his wildest dreams thought that he would see someone who claimed that symbol as his!

"I see… then I won't going to enquire more about your situation. Know that all I wanted is that you grow up in peace and away from all the people who will want to use you." The old man said that with a fatherly tone.

"And I did. I see no reason to discuss this anymore. Is there anything else you want to know? Or I can return to my breakfast?" Harry said with another bored eye roll.

"Nothing of note. We could discuss your artefacts but that is far too broad and time-consuming. You may return to your breakfast Mr Potter or should I call you Lord Peverell?"

"Potter is fine. Most of people already calling me that."

~~~

"That boy… I never expected a Savant to walk through our halls." The Deputy Headmistress said with a sigh.

"Indeed… the amount of magic he has… I couldn't look at him through the glasses." Dumbledore said that as he took off his glasses and cleaned them up.

"This… is monumental…"

"It is… you should keep an eye on him."

"You think he will follow HIS path?" The Head of Gryffindor asked with quite a serious tone.

"No, he won't. He already took a different path from HIM when young Harry surrounded himself with those witches." The Headmaster said that with quite an amused tone. No doubt James will be happy to know that his son already has several females who are following his son.

The head of Gryffindor could only stroke her nose bridge from upcoming chaos which could most likely will happen. The boy is of Potter blood, and he is only eleven yet he already has 4 older witches following.

She dearly hopes it doesn't get out of control…

~~~~~~Later~~~~~~

After returning to the Great Hall Harry walked over to the Gryffindor table where he saw the three girls sitting two of them were quite annoyed while the blonde one was quite smug about something.

"Ladies good morning."

The girls quickly noticed him.

"Harry! Quickly take a seat!" Angelica swiftly motioned for the Ravenclaw to sit.

The black-haired Artificer walked over and took his seat between Angelica and Alicia who winked at him when he sat down.

"Those earpieces are amazing!" The blonde said silently to him as she showed her right ear. There was one of the earpieces there. Because of her long hair, no one can see that she has one of those in her ear!

"I can now listen to music instead of listening to Binns droning! You are a lifesaver!" She said that while giving Harry one hand hug.

The Peverell nodded at her before pulling another red Magic Pod with the charger and the earpieces holder.

"Good to hear. I finished with Katie's Magic Pod. So she can have it." He handed over to the brown-haired girl who nearly squealed seeing it.

"Thank you so much!!!" The Gryffindor girl thanked her with a very excited look as she took her music player.

She quickly turned it on and pulled out one of the earpieces as well. Copying what Alicia did.

The blonde looked at this with a small frown she then looked at Harry.

"Did you work overnight again?" She asked with slightly narrowed eyes.

"I did. So will require your assistance in a few more days." He confirmed that with quite a casual tone before reminding the blonde Gryffindor about her 'duties'.

"...You do realise that what you doing is not healthy…" Alicia seriously said that as she inspected him.

"I could say the same thing. You do realise that I am a Wizard with extremely potent magic. I have been pulling all-nighters almost all my life. And as you can see…nothing has happened to me." He explained to her as he started preparing some food for himself.

While Harry was getting his food Alicia was left gobsmacked… what kind of creature is he!? If what he said is true then this means that he had much more time to learn and do things!

"...You know… you should teach me how you do that…" The blonde finally spoke.

"Yeah… We could have more time to play and train for Quidditch." Angelica said from other Harry's side.

"...You seriously want to learn such esoteric magic to…play more Quidditch?" Harry for a second looked at the black-haired girl next to him.

All he got was a shrug from her.

"Think this way… we could spend the whole night doing homework and then when classes are done we could spend the whole afternoon practising or playing Quidditch!" Angelica said with realising look.

She looked like she just found the answer to the secrets of the world!

"That's most… absurd way to waste such incredible power!!! You could spend extra time studying!!!" A female voice said from the side.

For a second Harry raised his eyebrow and looked who it was.

"Oh… it's you… number two." The Ravenclaw said towards the one who barged in their conversation.

It was the bushy brown haired girl which any Harry Potter fan would know. At the moment she is just a first-year old and quite unliked by the kids around her.

"Grrr…" She nearly realised some weird sounds similar to feral animals.

"Relax. Why are you so aggravated?" Harry asked her with a curious look, his words earned some snickering from the girls he was surrounded with.

"Y-You just told me that you have the means to study overnight! That's cheating!"

"Cheating? There are no rules against mental accelerating magic. Especially a self-cast one. And on the other half, we are not in a race." The artificer said with a shrug.

"But we are! For the house cup!" She said with an angry growl.

"Oh? That one. I see… I guess I should try harder then…"

"...You should stop aggravating her Harry," Alicia said with a sigh.

"I suppose… since you asked…"

And so Harry as if completely forgot about the bushy brown-haired girl. Who was in disbelief! She was not done with him! But he stopped completely paying attention to her and instead started paying extra attention to the girls around him!

"So I was wondering… how to add songs into the Magic Pod? And how does it work?"

"Oh, for that you need to have a laptop. I have a program already created for that… you going need to share the memory of the song. Then synthesize it and turn it into Information." The Ravenclaw explained to the blonde girl.

Alicia for second was disappointed. This sounded quite a long process.

"I see… so I will need to wait for my laptop then?" She asked him with a resigned tone.

"Well, we can do that with my laptop after classes."

"Hey! Your songs can wait! Harry is still busy with magic pod crafting!" Angelica quite angrily said as she was the only one without her music player.

*sigh*

'Females…'
