For some unknown reason, to the rest of the world anyway, Harry Potter was sorted into Ravenclaw.
He didn't seem very bright and he didn't seem smart at all.
Everyone knows Ravenclaws are meant to be smart, so how did it happen?
.....................
Harry ignores the bullying and walks into the library, his only friends are the librarian and the books. He smiles at Madam Pince before disappearing between the shelves.
He hears the insults, it's hard not to. Do they really think that he would be willing to teach what he's learnt when they behave like this? Do they honestly think that showing off is intelligence?
No, the teachers are the only ones who know, at least partly.
................
It was five minutes into dinner when the ever silent Ravenclaw enters the room. He walks straight to Cho Chang, one of his major bullies with in his house and hands her a canvas. She gasps at its beauty as he walks away. He smirks, knowing she hasn't noticed the insult within the beauty. He walks to his seat, wandlessly disabling the pranks around it and sits down. He fills his plate and begins to eat. He sips his wine and watches the hall with dark eyes. A raven flies into the hall and lands on Harry's shoulder. He takes the letter and places the raven on the table. It begins to eat off of his plate and he breaks the seal.
"My boy, put the letter down, it's from the Dark Lord." Headmaster Dumbledore says in a warning way. He looks down at the raven with a raised eyebrow and it shivers. He keeps by poister as he turns and looks at the Headmaster. He studies him and his eyes catching sight of a necklace around the Headmaster's neck. He stands silently, eyes on the necklace. Harry approaches him and he takes a step back. Harry reaches out and gently pulls the necklace from the Headmaster's robe. Harry runs his thumb over the smooth metal locket, feeling the runes and magic incasing it. Magic unhooks the locket and it slides into Harry's hand. He feels the tenseness of the room and steps away from the Headmaster. Harry lifts the letter off of the table gently and opens the already broken seal.
'Dear Hadrian
I hope all is going well, love. I swear just tell me who's hurt you and I'll storm the school. Don't forget to see the Chamber, the eggs should be hatching soon, from what I can gather from your last letter.
Sweetheart don't forget to stand up for yourself, I hate it when you hurt.
Anyway, how are you, my love? Learnt anything you didn't already know? Taken over the school? Punished the Jrs? Done anything insteresting? Or not?
You know I don't mind when you ramble, you are, in fact, very cute when you do, my love.
Well wishes,
Your Lover,
TMR
P.s. I Love You.'
Harry feels his face become warm and a small smile plays on his lips. He snort softly at the word 'lover' and makes eye contact with the raven and rolls his eyes. It caws causing people to jump. He waves it away and it takes flight. Harry pockets the locket and banishes the letter wandlessly and wordlessly. He turns to the Headmaster and looks up at him, not quite meeting his eyes.
"What did you do?" Snape snarls, the Headmaster turns to him.
"Calm down Severus." The older man murmurs. Whispers break out throughout the student body. "Perhaps we should move this to my office?" He suggests, looking back at Harry. Harry stares past them both, at Professor Lupin, whose back again after a few years. Lupin shifts at the gaze of the powerful, mated omgea, his wolf wanting to bow to the lower rank. Lupin bows his head in submission and Harry looks away, to Professor Sprout. She nods and he looks away. Harry meets the eye of the Headmaster and pushes. The Headmaster stumbles but the message was loud and clear in his mind; leave me alone or you will regret it. Harry turns and walks out of the hall.
.....................
A few weeks later Hogwarts is a battleground.
....................
Harry has to fight both Death Eaters and the Order. He's winning despite being an omega. He gets to the court yard where the main battle is taking place. He staggers in from the side, between both groups, after being doubly crucioed, once by an Order member and another by a Death Eater. Tom's gaze is drawn to Harry as he stumbles and stops between them, still shaking. Tom fills with rage, Harry can feel it through their bond. Tom's magic is released and everyone shivers from the sudden drop in temperature. Tom stalks forwards and Harry looks up at him. Tom cups his face and kisses him. Harry relaxes and the trembling finally stops. Magic hits Harry's back, which had been facing the light, and he pulls back. The scream that pierces the air makes everyone feel sick. Harry drops to his knees and craddles his stomach. He begins to sob, shocking Hogwarts students as he's never shown any emotion. Tom flies into a rage. Albus Dumbledore is tackled, wand still raised, by the enraged Fae/Vampire hybrid. Tom rips off his head and begins to kill those who have ever hurt his mate. It's only when he feels a gathering of Magic does he pause, claws ripping out some girls inners. He stands and turns to his mate. Tom is by Harry's side in seconds and is kneeling in front of him. Harry's magic explodes out of him as Tom kisses him.
