Chapter 34 - 34 - Halloween

Harry's pov

After the twins found the ROR, He had a much more interesting yet chaotic month.

He managed to keep his routine,

Regular weekday (except in a astronomy class day)

Waking up

Workout

Shower

Breakfast

Lesson

Lesson

Lunch

Lesson

charm experimenting at the ROR

Studying potions ingredients at the library with Hermione and Neville (they weren't studying the same thing just next to each other)

Homework at his private room at Slytherin

Back to the ROR for magic control

Shower

Sleeping

He continued learning chemistry in History of Magic and started using his unimportant memories to build the maze in his head.

On of the things that was explained in the books is the fact that most people don't retain all their memories and when building the maze the more memories you have the bigger and better your maze is, so as someone who remembers everything Harry had enough memories for a 25 years old man not an 11 years old child, it also meant he had a lot of work.

During the weekends he went to his economic class and blacksmithing class.

While in blacksmithing he only managed to be halfway through the theoretical part of the class, it was in the economic class or the 'why wizards are stupid class' as he started to call it, in which his biggest profit came. In class where the teacher has been talking about different ways to make money out of muggles was when he found his big cash cow, by using every thing he was taught about the stock market by the goblin, his brain and several FanFiction he remembered from his past life, Harry bought stocks in several future successful businesses.

In the end he left himself 60,000p for bills and happily made his way toward school leaving his money to make him money.

At the Halloween feast

Harry's pov

With Hermione having friends Ron's comment about having no friends had zero affect on her, which was why Hermione was in the feast.

In fact, out of the entire school, the only one who wasn't at the feast was Harry Peverell, as he already saw Hermione being safe and had no intention to lose a night of studies when he would only get to eat a little and then sent away to the dungeons because of the troll. Which was why he was alone at the library with only madam Pince, of whom he quickly became one of the favorite students as even as a child he is always polite, quite and ask for highly theoretical books instead of the regular requests for books to help with homework or funny spells books.

Just as Harry was about to finish the book 'potions ingredients and ways of uses for advanced students, He could hear screams. As much as he knew he shouldn't mix with the troll, his Curiosity of who met the troll couldn't be contained. He started running toward the noise till he saw a bunch of Ravenclaw students run away from the troll while three of the more a.d.u.l.t students cast Stupefy, and missing the troll completely.

While using an invisibility, Harry was trying to decide if he should help them or not- on one hand they don't deserve to be killed by a troll and it might prevent him from completing his ambitions for the year, like taking a piece of the philosopher stone. On the other hand it might reveal his talent in magic. Still not sure what to do after 10 seconds of thoughts, his decision was taken from him by four idiotic children came running. It was Marcus, Ron, Hermione and Neville. While most people might have been impressed with their bravery, Harry wanted to slap Hermione and Neville for their stupidity while letting Marcus and Ron die.

But as he didn't want his friends to die, he decided to act.

while watching Marcus trying to use Wingardium Leviosa on the clab of the troll, he instead used the levitation charm on the trolls pants and made the troll fly up the castle and then turned his body and made him fall from seventh floor to the first floor.

By then some of the teachers arrived, Snape, McGonagle, Flitwick and Dumbledore. Harry made sure to hide behind the armor and as he knew Dumbledore can see invisible people he made sure to deactivate his invisibility charm.

"What did you do here? The Ravenclaw students were on there way to their tower but why on earth were four Gryffindor students doing on the other side of where they are supposed to be?" Fessional McGonagle was looking upset.

"Ron and me were going to defeat the troll," Marcus said full of pride "after all I'm the boy who lived, if there is trouble I should always help!"

"N-Neville and me were just trying to convince them to go back to the Gryffindor tower, professor McGonagall." Hermione said "We couldn't just let them go after the troll!"

"50 points off Gryffindor for endangering yourself with no reason and not following instructions. Now who did this?" Professor McGonagall asked while pointing at the troll who looked dead as a doornail. "It was me professor McGonagle," this time Marcus had less pride on his face, Harry wasn't sure if it was because of the loss of points or the death of the troll,"I tried charming his club with the levitation charm but somehow his entire body flout, by the time I managed to cancel the charm he was already pretty high and turned around, then he fell, is he dead?"

Dumbledore than cast a spell on the troll and said "he is hurt yet alive.

Well, I think that for defeating a troll by yourself in first year you deserve 15 points each and for the three Ravenclaw who distracted it, you also get 15 points each. Now, please go to your towers." As the students went to their respective towers, professor Dumbledore called, "mr. Peverell, would you mind coming out from behind the armor and tell us what are you doing here?" The other three professors then looked towards the armor where Harry was hidden.

"I'm sorry professor, I didn't go to the meal as I hate Halloween so instead I spent my time at the library reading and when I heard screaming I ran towards it, so when I saw the creature I froze and hidden quickly behind the armor so he wouldn't see me and when you came I was still too afraid to come out" while Harry was telling the tale he made sure to shake a little and put the picture of the troll laying on the floor in the front of his mind and just behind it the trap of his parents death and look in the eyes of Dumbledore and Snape feeling them looking into his mind.

He than heard professor McGonagall tells him to go with her so she would take him to bed.

When they arrived to his room he thanked the professor went inside and smiled thinking 'the first reading of my mind went better than I could have ever hoped'

Severus pov

Severus was feeling horror about what he had just saw and felt, when he first saw mr. Peverell behind the armor he felt anger at the boy, felt he is just like his father, and if the boy wasn't shaking while telling his side of the story he would probably would have been sure, but as he saw the boy shaking, wanting to know why he was looking so terrified, he used an eye contact the boy initiated to look through his mind, first seeing the troll looking dead yet where the recent memory stoped an older memory was connected. He saw the boy running in a house and coming to the kitchen seeing two people dead on the floor.

That wouldn't have bothered him, after all, he has been on the war on two sides and saw a lot of dead people. No, what made him feel horror is the feelings he felt when he saw them, as when you look through someone's mind the only times you should feel emotions while looking into memories is when the memories are a defining moment for a person, something that should usually be way deep in your mind.

To feel this much emotion just as you get into someone's mind means he is currently thinking about his defining moment, and feeling this much heartbreaking made Severus almost cry and hug the boy, luckily Minerva already took him away.

Severus needed information about what was that memory and time to think how to help his little snake, cause he doesn't let him stay with those feelings inside.

Dumbledore pov

The plan went spectacularly, No one got hurt, Miss Granger helped Marcus and Marcus saved Harry and created a life debt, something which might be useful later. The only thing that was wrong is that when he looked into Harry's mind the only feelings he felt were about his parents death. 'Well, he just needs more time to process the loss, I'm sure that by the end of the year he would feel connection to Marcus more then anything else, otherwise, we can always use loyalty potions.'
