The next day they were on their way to transfiguration. James, Sirius and Remus had made Harry a fresh marauders map for school. For right now they were going to use it to find their way to classes. James had given Harry the invisibility cloak also. He had gotten it back from Dumbledore a few years ago. Since Harry is the heir of Potter he gave it to him. When he gets to third year he will use the map to get to Hogsmead.

When they got to class they sat down and waited. He recognized the cat and smiled. Next was potions and Snape was starring at Harry a lot and made him get a little nervous.

"Mr. Potter, our new, celebrity. Tell me what would I get if I added powdered root of asphodel to an infusion of wormwood?"

"It makes a sleeping potion so powerful it is known as the Draught of Living Death." he said shocking everyone.

Snape looked at him in shock.

'Apparently Lily had taught him a bit' he thought.

"Where would you look if I told you to find me a bezoar?"

"A stone taken from the stomach of a goat and it will save you from most poisons."

"What is the difference, Potter, between monkshood and wolfsbane?"

"They're the same plant, which also goes by the name of aconite."

Everyone looked at him in shock.

To their surprise Snape smirked a little.

"Apparently your mother taught you over the years. Five points for Gryffindor for answering NEWT questions."

They all sat there in even more shock.

Next up was flying lessons and they were excited. While Neville was in the hospital wing with Madam Hooch Malfoy took his remembrall.

"Give it here Malfoy." Harry said.

"No, I think I'll leave it somewhere for Longbottom to find."

He got on his broom. "How about on the roof? What's the matter Potter, fit behind your reach?"

"Harry no way! You heard what Madam Hooch said!" Hermione said.

Then he went over to get it. She shook her head.

"Give it here Malfoy or I'll knock you off your broom!"

Then he went towards him while Malfoy flipped over.

"Is that so? Have it your way then."

He threw it and Harry sped up to grab it.

When he caught it he spun around for a second. While he was on his way down everyone was cheering for him.

"Harry Potter!"

They heard and all turned around.

"Follow me." McGonagall said trying to hide a smile.

A few minutes later they were right outside the DADA room.

"You wait here." She turned around. "Professor Quarrel excuse me, excuse me, can I borrow Wood for a moment please?"

"Y-y-yes o-of course." Quarrel stuttered.

"Potter this is Oliver Wood. Wood, I have found you a seeker!" she said smiling.

"Seeker? But first years never make their house teams! You must be the youngest seeker-" Ron started.

"In a century! According to McGonagall." he said.

"Hey well done Harry, Woods just told us!" George said.

"Fred and George are on the team to, beaters." Ron said.

A few hours later Harry was writing to his parents and sister.

Dear mum, dad and Rose,

I'm in Gryffindor! I had flying lessons last week and after Malfoy taking Neville's remembrall I tried to get it back. After catching it when Malfoy threw it McGonagall saw me do it. She took me to Quarrel's room and got the Gryffindor's coach. And I'm the seeker! Something weird has been going on with my scar though. Sometimes it starts to hurt like it's burning, especially during DADA. Any idea why? I thought it was Professor Snape. But then I remembered that you two were friends while at school and he taught me occlamency. Well that's about it for right now. Tell Moony and Padfoot I said hello!

Harry

"Here you go Hedwig, be careful now." he said tying it down.

She nipped at his finger for a second and flew off.

Then he thought of something,

"I wonder what they'll say when they read the part about my scar?"
