Harry Potter and The Academy of Heroes - Chapter 8

The day was otherwise quite uneventful if one excludes the alarms blaring to life in the middle of their lunch and a giant panic that started shortly after. The students were all stampeding toward the small exit and trying to push through everyone else without care for anyone or anything. Harry and his friends got caught up in the wave and carried from their seats.
"It's just the media!" Tenya tried to calm the masses, but he was pretty much ignored by anyone.
A sound of cannon going off reverberated through the room, followed by three more.
"Oi!" Harry scowled as every single pair of eyes focused on him. "You're all a bunch of morons." While several people started to glare at him, most were too stunned to react. "Running and panicking like that will only get you killed. If it was an actual attack you wouldn't even be able to move in this mess. Are you U.A. students or not?"
Some people reluctantly nodded.
"Then bloody well act like that. Pre... Uh, Class representatives, get your classmates under control and move in an orderly manner." He pointed his want to the window. "It's just the bloody press."
That finally served to get people to relax. One by one, the representatives gathered their classmates and left the cafeteria.
"And you said you'd make a bad Class rep." Momo laughed next to him.
"You kidding?" He chuckled. "I would probably turn them all into ferrets the next time it happened."

The next day, the class was told to gather in front of the dorms in their hero costumes. Or gym uniforms. They would have a field trip and rescue training that day, so some of their costumes might've not been the best. To Harry's relief, Hagakure chose to put on something other than her hero costume. He himself put on his full hero costume. It might've been a bit cumbersome, but the extra protection dragonskin offered would come in handy in the more dangerous environment. If they were going where he suspected, a vial of phoenix tears would also not come amiss.
After Midoriya checked attendance, they were all slowly boarding the bus when Todoroki stopped him. Harry looked at the boy with a raised eyebrow.
"You're like me," Shoto stated. It wasn't a question.
"I don't think I follow?"
"You have a double quirk." He clarified, showing ice forming on one hand and fire on the other.
"Uh... Hate to break it to you, but I only have one quirk. The two sides of it balance each other. In fact, if I didn't have both, I would quite possibly be dead already."
"I... see... Forgive me then." Todoroki pushed past him and got onto the bus. Harry shrugged. He promised himself to not get involved in any mess this year. He had a new start and it wasn't the time to go and start looking for every imaginable trouble. He would have an entire career to do so.
As the ride went on, the class engaged in idle discussion. Harry for the most part just listened, curious to hear more about quirks. Asking Midoriya, while viable, would turn into a mumbled lecture very quickly.
"Kero, what about you, Harry?" Asui pulled him out of the memory of the last ramble.
"Um... could you repeat the question?"
"We're discussing our favorite Pro Heroes." Midoriya was smiling shyly and Harry guessed he was the one that began the discussion. "And we're curious which one is your favorite."
