“Welcome to the Defense Against the Dark Arts, I will be your professor and I expect you all to show me the same respect I will show you,” said Harry as he stood before his class. The first years just stared up at Harry in awe and shock because of the powerful aura that he gave off even if he was concealing most his power.

Harry smiled down at the first years and he glanced over those in his classroom. This was his first class as a teacher and the students within his class were all Gryffindors and Slytherins. Most of them were uncomfortable with being in his class because of the way it was set up and because of the rivalry between the two houses.

The classroom still had the usual desks and chairs, but now the walls were littered with Japanese Kanji. There were also many scented candles surrounded the room and though they didn’t know it, these candles helped calm and relax the nerves. In addition, there was no longer a teacher’s desk, but instead there was a small futon and many brushes with inkpots near them. Harry was kneeling on the futon as he looked over the classroom.

“Now, since this is our first class, I will allow you all to ask me any question you like for the first ten minutes before we begin,” said Harry as he sipped some tea. Everyone had a look on their face, telling him that they wanted to ask him a question, but none were brave enough to do it. Finally, a small first year Gryffindor had the courage to raise her hand and ask him a question.

“Yes, Ms?” asked Harry calmly.

“Amy Bones,” said the girl softly.

“The daughter of Susan Bones?” asked Harry curiously.

“Yes professor,” said Amy with a proud look in her eyes.

“I have heard of your mother, a very fair person from what I hear. Forgive me, I am getting off topic, you wished to ask me a question?” said Harry with a small nod.

“Yes, I was wondering if you could tell us why the Sorting Hat addressed you as Lord Hyuuga,” said Amy softly. Everyone else seemed to be interested to the answer to this question as well because they all stared at him intently. Harry gave the class a small smile before answering the girl’s question.

“I expected to be asked such a question and the answer is very simple. You see, I come from a very powerful and ancient clan that was well respected in the days of the Founder’s. In fact, my clan even helped support the Founder’s when they first came up with the idea of building Hogwarts, which is why the Sorting Hat addressed me with my respectful title,” said Harry.

“I come from an ancient and powerful pureblood family, but the Sorting Hat doesn’t address me with the proper respect,” sneered Lucas angrily.

“Probably because the Sorting Hat doesn’t talk to those who’s family is full of Death Eaters,” said a boy with sandy blond hair. His friends near him started to laugh while Lucas glared at him hatefully, but before he could do anything, the whole class froze as a huge power washed over them.

“I will remind you all that I do not tolerate loud outbursts nor do I tolerate a lack of respect,” said Harry calmly as to make sure the whole class understood. They all just nodded their heads in fear and fell silent.

“Now, is there anyone else that would like to ask me a question?” asked Harry with a small smile. A Slytherin boy in the back raised his hand in the air slowly and Harry nodded his head towards the boy.

“Tony Zabini, I was wondering why you don’t carry around a wand?” asked the boy curiously.

“That is quite simple, I don’t use a wand because I am a master at wandless magic,” replied Harry.

“How will you teach us to do magic then if you can’t even use a wand?” yelled out Lucas arrogantly.

“Mr. Malfoy, you will find that I am able to use a wand just fine, but I choose not to because wandless magic is far superior,” said Harry calmly. Before the boy could reply, Harry held up his hand, which signaled for him to remain quiet.

“One last question before we start class,” said Harry.

“Frank Longbottom, are you going to be teaching us any cool spells?” yelled out the boy with sandy blond hair. Harry just chuckled softly at that question while the Slytherins just rolled their eyes and the Gryffindors just looked at Harry hopefully.

“That all depends on how well you all do throughout the year, but I think you will find that I will teach you much more about magic then you could possible imagine,” said Harry with a small smirk.

“Awesome,” said the boy, which caused his friends to laugh.

“Now that I have answered some of your questions, let us begin with class,” said Harry as he stood up and started to lecture his class.

Lily was walking down the hallway by herself with a troubled look on her face. It had only been a week since school had started and already she felt like she was an outcast and it was all because she was sorted into Hufflepuff and not Gryffindor. Of course, the people in her house treated her kindly and were always friendly with her, but she could still see the questioning looks in their eyes and that of the other students in school. They all wanted to know how the daughter of the Great Harry Potter could possibly be sorted into a house like Hufflepuff, even though the Sorting Hat told them that tale where Hufflepuff was technically the last Founder standing and ready to fight for her friends.

‘It’s not fair, I’m not even in Slytherin or Gryffindor, and people still give me weird looks,’ thought Lily sadly, as she held back her tears.

“You are still letting what other people think get to you,” said a voice from beside her, which interrupted her thoughts. Lily jumped in surprise before she realized who is was that had snuck up on her.

“Itachi, please don’t do that,” said Lily as she tried to calm her heart down from the shock.

“Forgive me, it was not my intention to startle you,” replied Itachi in his same emotionless voice.

“It’s ok, my fault for being so involved in my thoughts that I didn’t even notice you walking besides me. Anyway, I am glad to see you, but why are you here?” said Lily curiously.

“As you know, I am not part of any house since the Sorting Hat refused to sort me, therefore I am allowed free reign when it comes to choosing, which classes I wish to go to. I have decided I will join you for your Potions class this morning,” said Itachi.

“Oh, well thank you, I hear Snape is a real pain and hated my father so will probably hate me as well,” said Lily with a grateful smile.

“Should he make any remark towards you that is out of line, then I shall put him in his place,” said Itachi coldly that a shiver went down Lily’s spine.

“I have been wondering, how come you seem to hang around me so much? Not that I am complaining, it is just that you seem to hate people in general, but yet you are always willing to help me out,” said Lily softly. Itachi stopped walking and calmly turned his head to the side to stare Lily in her eyes. Lily just stood there silently, unable to move as Itachi’s coal black eyes seemed to bore right into her soul.

“I find your company to be soothing, but if me being near you is causing you distress, I can always leave,” said Itachi with a small nod as he started to walk again.

“No! I mean, no, you don’t have to leave, I like having you around. So far, you are my only real friend and I am sorry if I sounded rude,” said Lily with an apologetic look as she fell in step beside Itachi. Itachi just nodded his head in acceptance and continued to walk besides Lily.

It wasn’t long before the two reached the Potions class and found a couple of seats in the second row. They seemed to have arrived just on time too because Professor Snape came billowing into the classroom as the door shut loudly behind him. He got to the front of the class and looked over all the students, with his eyes pausing on Itachi and Lily. Snape sneered at them both nastily before he started to address the class.

“My name is Professor Snape, and you will address me as such in and outside of the classroom. In this class, you will learn the subtle and powerful art of Potion making though I doubt any of you will truly understand the brilliance of the subject. There will be no silly wand waving or incantations so don’t let me catch you with your wands out or you will find yourself with detention,” sneered Snape as he addressed the class.

“Now, I will put the instructions on the board and you will do as they say while I make sure you don’t blow yourselves up or worse, my classroom,” said Snape before waving his wand and on the board appeared a list of instructions to make a beginner’s potion.

“Begin,” said Snape before going over to his desk. He would’ve have made some snide remarks to Lily or Itachi, but there was no point since they didn’t have class with his Slytherins, therefore wouldn’t be able to taunt them to the fullest of his ability. The Ravenclaws were too focused on their studies to laugh or help him taunt the Potter girl so he would just wait until a better opportunity presented itself.

Harry was calmly meditating on his futon since his next class didn’t begin for another two hours. His concentration was broke though when he felt a familiar magical signature and turned to see Professor Weasley standing in his doorway while giving him an amused expression.

“I’m sorry, I’m not interrupting you am I?” asked Ginny with a small smile.

“I was merely meditating is all, I find it helps me stay centered and focused,” said Harry with a small smile as he gestured for her to take a seat with him. Ginny just gave him a grateful smile and kneeled down on the futon in front of the small table between them.

“I like the way you have your class set up, it is very relaxing,” said Ginny as she gratefully took a cup of tea from Harry.

“Yes, I feel it helps the students keep their emotions in check so that they have an easier time with casting spells,” said Harry with a small nod.

“I actually came here to see how your first week of teaching has gone, but from the rumors I hear, the kids love you,” said Ginny with a smirk.

“Ha-ha, I don’t know about that, but I do hope they are learning something from me. I tend to be quite a perfectionist when it comes to learning how to control one’s magic,” said Harry with a small smirk of his own.

“Yes well, I know all the older year students enjoy your class because of how you are teaching them to be more in touch with their magical cores. Not many people know that once you have a good feel for your core, it is easier to control one’s magic,” said Ginny as she sipped some of her tea.

“It is quite disappointing that there are no advanced magical control classes here at Hogwarts, but I guess with all the restrictions this country has on their magic, it is truly hard to reach one’s full potential,” said Harry with a shake of his head as he drank some of his own tea.

“I agree, even with Independent Studying, you can never truly master an art unless given outside help to increase your understanding of a subject,” said Ginny with a knowing look in her eyes.

“I guess you were lucky then, to be able to study under a great charms and dueling master such as Flitwick,” said Harry knowingly.

“Not many people know that I was taken on as his apprentice, it was a well-kept secret so that Voldemort would not try to target me anymore then I was already being targeted,” said Ginny with a raised eyebrow.

“You might just say then that I am very well informed,” said Harry with a small smile.

“I see, well in that case, I am curious as to what else you know about me,” said Ginny with a coy smile.

“If I told you everything I knew about you, then I wouldn’t be able to surprise you with my knowledge in the future,” said Harry calmly.

“Very cunning of you Mr. Hyuuga, but you are not the only one who can play that game,” said Ginny with a glint in her eyes.

“I may be more then a match for you Professor Weasley, just to warn you,” said Harry with a grin.

“I like a challenge, makes things interesting,” chuckled Ginny softly.

“Forgive me for changing the subject, but what is the real reason you came to visit me Ginny-san?” asked Harry curiously. Ginny just raised an eyebrow at Harry before sighing softly.

“I wish to speak to concerning my daughter since I don’t really want to talk to Hermione about my problems and I feel comfortable around you,” said Ginny with a small blush.

Harry froze for half a second at hearing Ginny wanting to talk about Lily, but quickly masked his emotions before Ginny noticed. The truth was, when he finally had realized that Lily was his daughter he felt incredibly guilty. He always told Itachi and Hanabi that nothing was more important then family, but the truth was, he had bailed out on Ginny who was his family so long ago. It didn’t matter that he was still young and immature back then because he should have never abandoned her like he did even if it was the main reason he met Hinata. This was a sin that he could never be forgiven for and he would not dare seek forgiveness because he didn’t deserve it, but he would watch over them and make sure they were safe while he stayed in England.

“You are worried that the pressure of being the daughter of the ‘Great Harry Potter,’ will be too much for her, am I correct?” stated Harry knowingly. Ginny looked at him in surprise, but nodded her head in response.

“Yes, but how did you know?” asked Ginny surprised.

“I am the last of my clan Ginny-san, including my daughter Hanabi-chan. My son Itachi-kun is also the last of his clan as well and as you know from the welcoming feast, we are known by many as Lord Hyuuga and Lord Uchiha. Coming from such powerful clans, brings a certain amount of responsibility to our shoulders,” said Harry calmly. Ginny just nodded because she knew that he wasn’t lying to her about his heritage.

“I have always known that my family and I would have to live up to certain expectations, even if I didn’t like it. The only thing, you or anyone else can do to help our children from being driven insane from such expectations is to always be there for them when they need us most,” said Harry.

“You are right, but I worry that when the time comes that I will not be there to help her the way she needs me too. I never had to live through all the fame and expectations of others since I came from a relatively poor family. It was my fiancé that had to deal with that kind of pressure and I have no way of understanding how she feels,” said Ginny as she hung her head in defeat.

“When the time comes, you will know what to do,” said Harry seriously. Ginny just stared into Harry’s eyes and couldn’t help but believe him.

“Thank you,” said Ginny softly as she gave Harry a beautiful smile that lit up her face.

“You are welcome, though I am curious to find out that Harry Potter was your fiancé. From what I hear, he was only your boyfriend during the time of the war,” said Harry with a raised eyebrow. Ginny blushed in embarrassment at making the mistake of calling him her fiancé, but soon composed herself.

“It was a secret engagement so that I wouldn’t be targeted anymore then necessary. Only a select few people actually knew about it,” said Ginny softly.

“I see, the pain of losing a loved one is great and I am sorry for bringing up such painful memories,” said Harry with an apologetic look in his eyes.

“It is ok, but to tell you the truth, I don’t think he ever truly died that day,” said Ginny as she stared up into the ceiling.

“That is interesting,” replied Harry as he kept calm.

“Yeah, you see, we were bonded, and when someone dies that you are bonded deeply with, you feel that part of you disappear. I never felt the pain of him disappearing, which makes me believe that maybe he is still alive,” said Ginny with a lost look in her eyes.

“Yes, I know what you mean about the pain,” said Harry as he remembered the loss of Hinata.

“It is probably silly of me to think such a thing, but I can’t help it, I loved him very much,” said Ginny softly as she lowered her head and gave Harry small painful smile.

“If he is alive, then he was a fool to leave such a wonderful woman like you behind,” said Harry softly as he gazed into Ginny’s eyes.

“Thank you, but I could never hate him even if he did leave willingly. He always hated his fame and fighting, but did it anyways because it was the right thing to do. It would have been hell for him if he had stayed after defeating Voldemort because it only caused people to worship him more,” said Ginny as she wiped a tear away.

“You truly must have loved him if you are willing to forgive him knowing that he might have survived and then left you all alone while he sought out a new life,” said Harry with guilty look in his eyes that Ginny wasn’t able to catch before he masked it.

“Hey, that doesn’t mean I wouldn’t kick his ass for a few days for leaving me behind,” said Ginny with a smirk. Harry just chuckled at the comment before taking a sip of his tea.

“It would be the least he deserved,” said Harry in agreement.

“Thank you again for listening to me, I know it must have been dreadful to hear me go on about my problems,” said Ginny gratefully.

“It was a pleasure as always to talk with you Ginny-chan, please stop by anytime,” said Harry, not realizing that he had called Ginny with a chan suffix.

“Ginny-chan?” replied Ginny with a smirk and a coy smile.

“Forgive me,” started Harry, but Ginny interrupted him with a finger over his mouth.

“I like it, but only if you allow me to call you Yuu-kun in return,” said Ginny with a smile as she removed her finger. Harry was surprised to learn that Ginny knew what suffix to add to his name, but didn’t question her on it because no doubt she probably learned it from Hermione.

“You have yourself a deal,” said Harry with a smile of his own.

“Well I better get going now, I have a class in 20 minutes, and I believe you do as well,” said Ginny as she got up slowly. Harry got up as well and walked with her to the door to his classroom before opening it for her.

“I look forward to our next meeting Ginny-chan,” said Harry with a small bow.

“As do I, Yuu-kun,” said Ginny before kissing his cheek lightly then walking off with a large blush on her face. Harry just watched her go with a small smile before turning around and closing the door behind him so he could prepare for his next class.

“Master Varg, you wished to see me?” asked Shadow as he bowed before his master.

Sitting on a large thrown, was the oldest vampires in existence and considered to be the most powerful of them all. He was over three-thousand years old and held an air of power that would bring even the greatest of warriors to their knees. His name was Varg, his original name known to none save him. Varg was the leader of the largest clan of vampires in Europe.

Not much was known about him other then the fact that he was a powerful warrior and a wise leader. All those under him respect his power and would give their lives for him.

“Yes Shadow, I have called you here to discuss something of utmost importance,” said Varg as his deep voice carried with it great power.

Shadow was over five-hundred years old and was his second in command since he had beaten his previous second in command a hundred years ago. He was young for a vampire to hold such a position, but none would dare challenge him because of how powerful he was. The vampire had never lost to anyone and was the best assassin in the entire world.

“What is it that you wish to speak to me about my lord?” asked Shadow curiously.

“A great power has appeared, a power that I have not felt since I was merely a child,” said Varg. Shadow didn’t know if he was imagining it or not, but he thought he detected a hint of fear in his master’s voice.

“I want you to assemble a team of your finest men and track down a sorcerer that either goes by the name Uchiha or Hyuuga and bring them before me,” said Varg.

“As you wish my lord,” said Shadow as bowed his head one last time before rising to his feet, but before he could disappear into the shadows, Varg spoke again.

“Do not underestimate this person, no matter their appearance or age, because if you do, then you shall find yourself nothing, but a pile of dust,” warned Varg seriously. Shadow just nodded his head slowly before disappearing into the shadows. Varg watched him disappear before staring into the dark with many thoughts crossing his mind.

‘If the Hyuuga or Uchiha have truly arose again, then no doubt a war greater then the last, will be upon us soon,’ thought Varg with a shake of his head.

“Um Professor Hyuuga,” said Lily softly as she approached Harry after class had ended.

“Yes Ms. Potter?” asked Harry curiously, as he put away some scrolls. He couldn’t deny that Lily was extremely beautiful and would no doubt rival or surpass her mother in the looks department. It made him wish he had been there to see her grow up, but he would just have to use the time he had now to help her to the best of his abilities.

“I was wondering if I could stay after class and maybe study under you,” said Lily nervously. Harry raised his eyebrow at this because he didn’t expect to get such a request from the girl when she was still a first year.

“This is an interesting request coming from a first year student. Is there any particular reason why?” asked Harry calmly.

“Well, I have been practicing some spells from all my books and have found that I have a hard time performing them, but I can’t find out the reason why,” said Lily softly.

“Hmm, let me see something,” said Harry before silently activating his Byakugan. Lily jumped back in surprise at seeing veins appearing around her Professor’s eyes, but remained still not wanting to get in trouble.

“It seems that your magical core is as large as a third or fourth year student, which would make it quite hard for you to perform spells that require a small amount of magic,” said Harry as he deactivated his Byakugan.

“You can see how large my magical core is?” asked Lily in awe.

“Yes,” replied Harry with a kind smile.

“That is so cool, but does this mean I won’t be able to perform any spells in my other classes?” asked Lily fearfully.

“No, it just means it will be harder for you to do so until you learn how to control your magic. Now, I can come up with a schedule for you that will allow me to help you control your magic, but it is your choice,” said Harry.

“Oh that would be great, if you don’t mind that is. I really don’t want to fail any of my classes,” replied Lily with a large smile.

“Very well, starting next week I will have a schedule for you that won’t interfere with any of your other classes that will allow me to teach you to better control your magic. Be warned though, I am taking time out of my day to help you, so I expect you will do your best all the time to follow my instructions and not miss an appointment time,” said Harry sternly.

“Of course Professor and thank you very much,” said Lily with a grateful smile before waving goodbye and leaving the room.

“You are doing a very nice thing for her Professor Hyuuga,” said Hermione as she entered the room.

“It is not as if I am giving her special treatment, I am only helping a student so that they will do better in their classes,” replied Harry as he looked up to see Hermione standing in the doorway.

“Either way, you are still being very kind to offer such lesson to a first year,” said Hermione with a smile.

“Is there a reason why you Disillusion yourself and stood in the doorway while I was talking to her, or is it just a habit of yours?” asked Harry calmly as he practiced his calligraphy.

“I merely wanted to visit you and see how you were doing, but when I saw how nervous Lily was talking to you, I thought it best she didn’t know I was here unless she got scared and leave before finishing her question,” said Hermione.

“Hn, I see, but you neglected the part where you wished to find out more about me and my abilities,” said Harry knowingly. Hermione was about to reply, but Harry silenced her by raising his hand in the air.

“There is no need to apologize, for there is nothing wrong with seeking knowledge about the unknown, but I warn you that next time you try something like that, I may decide to have some fun before allowing you to leave,” said Harry with a smirk.

“You wouldn’t,” said Hermione with narrowed eyes.

“The choice is yours, but as my son can attest to, I have a very warped sense of humor,” said Harry with a small grin.

“Fine, you win, but this doesn’t mean I will stop trying to learn more about you,” huffed Hermione with a small smile.

“I would expect nothing less from the Head of Ravenclaw,” said Harry with a small nod.

“So tell me Yuu-san, what you think of my niece?” asked Hermione curiously.

“She is a very intelligent girl, the Sorting Hat chose wisely when he put her with Hufflepuff,” replied Harry.

“Really? You know most people are disappointed that she didn’t get into Gryffindor or Ravenclaw at least. I mean she loves magic as much as I do, I was kind of surprised that she didn’t get put in my house,” said Hermione seriously.

“No doubt she would have done well in any house, but Hufflepuff is best suited for what Lily-san will need in the future,” said Harry cryptically as he continued his calligraphy.

“What do you mean?” asked Hermione curiously.

“Many people expect great things from Lily-san, due to her fame of being the daughter of Harry Potter. In Slytherin, the cunning will merely use her as a means to an end and in Gryffindor she will be expected to be just as brave and reckless as her father,” said Harry before pausing.

“In Ravenclaw, she will be expected to outshine even the great Dumbledore in knowledge because of her father, but in Hufflepuff she is free. No one expects anything from a Hufflepuff, because the house does not hold as much fame as the others. That is why I believe the Sorting Hat chose well to put Lily-san there because in that house she will find loyalty and acceptance, more then what any other house could give her,” said Harry as he finished his calligraphy.

Hermione just stared at Harry in shock because she had never thought to look at it from that perspective. Now that she really thought about it, shamefully she admitted that she expected Lily to be in some way like her father. It made her feel extremely guilty because Lily was her own person and shouldn’t have to live up to any expectation other then living her life happily.

“You are right, the Sorting Hat chose well to put her in Hufflepuff because no doubt she will find true friends there that will remain loyal to her no matter the situation,” said Hermione with a slight bit of guilt as she remembered turning her back on Harry a few times when they were young.

“It takes a great person to admit their own faults, already Lily-san’s future seems to get brighter with each day,” said Harry with a small nod towards Hermione.

“It seems that your eyes aren’t the only things about you that make you special and I hope you will forgive me for spying on you earlier,” said Hermione with a small smile.

“Think nothing of it, now I believe it is close to dinner time. If you give me a moment, I would be honored if you allowed me to escort you to the Great Hall,” said Harry with a small smile.

“I would like that very much,” said Hermione as she smiled brightly at Harry. If she wasn’t married to Ron, no doubt she would have loved to pursue a relationship with Yuu.

‘Then again, Ron does have his moments where he can be exceptionally smart,’ thought Hermione with a small giggle.

“Hanabi-chan, where are you?” asked Itachi as he walked through Firenze’s classroom, which was practically a small forest.

“I am over here aniki,” yelled Hanabi loudly. Itachi followed her voice and soon found Hanabi kneeling down in a small flowerbed with Yama perched in a tree above her, while Firenze gazed up at the night stars.

“It is late Hanabi-chan, you should be in bed,” said Itachi with a small frown as he approached the girl.

“I know, but Firenze-sensei said that he would allow me to watch the stars with him tonight. Isn’t the sky just beautiful aniki?” said Hanabi with a cute smile.

“Hai,” replied Itachi as he stared up into the night sky.

“Mars shines brightly, a time of turmoil approaches us Lord Uchiha,” said Firenze as he continued to gaze into the night sky.

“Hn,” was all Itachi said before breaking his gaze away from the stars and looking into the Forbidden Forest. He stared into the forest for a few min before turning to face Firenze whom was now staring at him intently.

“Come Hanabi-sama, it is time for us to take our leave,” said Firenze as he approached the small girl.

“Aww, but I want to stay here at stare at the stars,” pouted Hanabi.

“Go with him Hanabi-chan, you can watch the stars tomorrow night,” said Itachi.

“Ok, goodnight aniki,” said Hanabi before hugging Itachi’s leg tightly then running over to Firenze. Firenze picked the small girl up and placed her on his back.

“Watch over her,” ordered Itachi, not bothering to look at the centaur.

“She will be safe with me Lord Uchiha,” said Firenze before disappearing into the woods of his classroom as he quickly made his way inside Hogwarts.

“Will you be joining me Yama-san?” asked Itachi as the bird flew onto his shoulder. Yama merely nodded its head in reply before taking to the air and flying circles around him slowly.

“Hn,” replied Itachi as he made his way into the Forbidden Forest. He silently made his way through the forest before coming to a stop in a small clearing and waiting patiently.

In a swift movement, he drew his katana and sliced through several arrows that came out of the trees towards him. They fell to the ground harmlessly as Itachi remained in the same spot. It wasn’t much longer before a few centaurs came out of the woods and slowly approached him with their bows drawn.

“You must be very confident of your abilities if you willing approach us in our own woods,” said the lead centaur. He was the only one without his bow drawn.

“You are no threat to me,” said Itachi calmly. The other centaurs grew angry at the comment and wanted to show the human just how much of a threat they were, but a quick gesture from their leader made them go silent. The leader knew it would be unwise to start a battle with boy especially when that bird in the trees above them was staring down at them through emotionless black eyes. He didn’t know what it was, but something told him that it would be unwise to attack the boy while that bird was around.

The leader kneeled down so he was eye level with Itachi and calmly stared into his eyes. Itachi and the centaur stared deeply into each other’s eyes for a good minute or two before the centaur rose back up.

“Hmm, I suppose you are right for the moment. With so little of my forces with me, I do not pose any threat to you,” said the leader to the shock of the others.

“Your name?” asked Itachi emotionlessly.

“My true name would be impossible for you to pronounce, so you may call me Star,” said the centaur with a small nod of his head.

“Uchiha Itachi,” replied Itachi as he sheathed his sword.

“Until we meet again,” said Star before signaling to his men that it was time to leave. They all gave Itachi one last look before disappearing into the forest and following Star back home.

“Interesting meeting you had there sochi,” said Harry as he came out of the woods and walked towards his son.

“Hn,” replied Itachi as he turned to face his father.

“I know it may not seem like it, but the centaurs are an ancient and powerful race, many have fallen to their might,” said Harry calmly as he stood before his son.

“They pose no threat to us, but it would be unwise to not keep an eye on them,” said Itachi calmly.

“True, which is why I have asked Sal to keep an on them,” said Harry with a smirk.

“He actually agreed to do such a task?” asked Itachi with a raised eyebrow.

Sal was an ancient Egyptian Basilisk that was able to change its size magically from that of a full-grown Basilisk to a baby Basilisk. The snake was incredible lazy and arrogant, which is why Itachi was mildly surprised that it would agree to spy on the centaurs.

“Not at first, but when I told it that it was possible that there might be a few Basilisks within the forest for it to mate with, he decided to watch the centaurs for a bit,” said Harry with a shake of his head.

“Do you truly believe that there are other Basilisk within this forest?” asked Itachi curiously.

“It is possible, the Basilisk that I killed within the Chamber was a female so it is possible she laid a few eggs the short time she was free,” said Harry with a shrug.

“Hn, it is too bad Firenze is no longer with the centaurs,” said Itachi.

“Even if he was, he would never spy on his own people because they are still his brethren. Come, it is time we head in for the night,” said Harry as he started to head back towards Hogwarts. Itachi just looked back into the forest one last time before following his father.

Harry was walking through the hallways when he heard some noises and decided to investigate it. It wasn’t long before he found where the noises were coming from and found Lucas Malfoy dueling with Frank Longbottom, the sandy blond haired boy from his class whom always taunted Malfoy.

Harry was slightly impressed that both boys were able to throw around so many spells when there magical cores were average for that of a first year, but knew they would exhaust each other out within a few more moments. Not wanting to risk it getting worse, Harry decided to intervene by wandlessly summoning both of the boy’s wands, which caused them to turn in his direction. Frank and Lucas’s eyes widened in fear as they realized who it was that interrupted their duel.

“As much as I love dueling myself, I don’t think you two are permitted to be dueling in the hallways,” said Harry calmly as he looked down at them both.

“He started it,” said Frank as he glared at Lucas.

“Hmph, as I would waste my time picking a fight with you, Longbottom,” sneered Lucas.

“I don’t care who started the fight, that will be ten points from Gryffindor and Slytherin respectively and should I catch you two dueling again, your punishment will be far worse. Now leave,” said Harry as he tossed them back their wands and watched them go in opposite directions.

‘How annoying,’ thought Harry before he noticed a strange bug traveling on the ground.

‘I wonder,’ thought Harry as he cloaked his presence with his magic and followed the bug.

He followed the bug for a good five minutes before it led him to the Room of Requirement and disappeared under the crack of the door. This caused his curiosity to peek even more because very few people knew of the Room of Requirement. Harry cast a few more spells that would prevent anyone inside from hearing or seeing the door open so that he could make his way into the room undetected.

When Harry got into the room, he noticed that it looked like the forest that surrounded the shrine where he used to live with Hinata. He almost got lost in his memories before remembering the reason why he was here and made his way towards the magical signature he sensed in the room. It wasn’t long before he found the person in the room and was not surprised by who was there.

It was a fifth year Ravenclaw boy that always wore a heavy jacket and black sunglasses. The boy was of average height for his age and had an afro style of hair. His name was Shino, no surname, and had to be the top student of his class and house. Shino was an orphan from the second war against Voldemort when his parents whom were visiting got caught in the crossfire at Diagon Alley.

Harry watched as many bugs crawled in and out of Shino’s jacket and pants as he interacted with the other bugs created by the Room. Such a sight may frighten most people, but Harry was impressed the boy had developed so far on his own with no guidance about his ability. He decided it was time to make his presence known and approach the boy.

“Interesting ability you have there,” said Harry calmly as he approached Shino with a mask of indifference upon his face. Shino turned around quickly at the sudden intrusion and was surprised to see his Professor walking towards him calmly.

“How did you find me?” asked Shino curiously, as he tried to remain calm.

“You are not the only one who is gifted with an extraordinary ability,” said Harry as he activated his Byakugan. Shino stared up at his Professor in shock because he didn’t realize there were others that had some strange ability.

“My eyes allow me to see many things so it wasn’t to hard to notice a strange looking bug walking around the castle and follow it back to its source,” said Harry as he deactivated his Byakugan.

“What will you do now that you know?” asked Shino cautiously.

“Nothing, I will not spread your secret because I know you wish to keep your abilities to yourself, but I can provide you with this scroll,” said Harry as he snapped his fingers and a scroll appeared in Shino’s hands. Shino just looked at it carefully, but then returned his gaze to his Professor.

“Should you need help in the future let me know, I will gladly offer my services to assist you,” said Harry before turning his back and leaving the room. Shino just watched him leave before looking down at the scroll in his hand.

“Aburame,” said Shino confused, as he read the name on the scroll before opening it up. His eyes widened in shock as he realized what he was reading from the scroll.

“Why am I here again?” mused Gabrielle as she drank some butter beer while sitting all by her self at a table in Rosmerta’s Tavern. Of course, she already knew the answer to that question, but still couldn’t believe that she was here, let alone agreed to do this.

‘I should be out searching for my mate, not playing treaty maker with some Hyuuga and Uchiha,’ thought Gabrielle glumly. She was now twenty years old and she was stunning in every sense of the word. If there was a list with the top ten most beautiful women in the world right now, Gabrielle Delacour would definitely be on it. The young girl had blossomed into a beautiful woman, but that was to be expected from someone with Veela blood running through her veins.

As beautiful as she was, Gabrielle was still single and was very lonely. You see as a Veela, she craved the attention of a mate to pamper her and treat her like a queen, but since her Veela blood hadn’t recognized any man as a potential mate, she always felt incredible lonely. She had great friends and worked full-time as Potions mistress, but stills she longed to be with someone.

‘Oh well, best go see if I can find this Lord Hyuuga that the elders wished for me to find,’ thought Gabrielle as she got up from her table, but not before leaving a small amount of galleons on the table.

She received many ogling looks from the men and boys since it was a Hogsmeade weekend, but she ignored them all and made her way outside. It was cold outside, but not enough to warrant a heavy jacket, which is why she was wearing a light one to cover her upper body. Gabrielle hated wearing robes since they were so lose and ugly looking, which is why she wore muggle clothes instead. This caused many witches to look at her with concealed disgust, but their opinions didn’t matter in the least to the young Veela woman.

Gabrielle was so lost in her thoughts that she failed to watch where she was going and bumped into some stranger, which caused her to fall to the ground on her butt.

“Ugh, sorry about that,” apologized Gabrielle as she got up quickly and brushed off her pants before looking up at the person she bumped into. She found her staring into a pair of pale white eyes with no pupil, which were attached to the most handsome face she had ever seen. Before Gabrielle could say anything, she felt her Veela Charm come on at full blast causing many men in the area to faint from the power of it. Her Veela blood was screaming at her to make him hers and it was about to drive her insane, but just as instantly as it came, she felt a light tap on her neck and her charm shut off immediately.

“You might need to learn to control that better, I can’t always be here to help,” said the man with a small nod before he made a move to walk by Gabrielle, but she stopped him before he could.

“Wait, who are you and how were you able to do that?” asked Gabrielle in shock as she stared at the man.

“My name is Hyuuga Yuu and I merely closed off the tenkutsu that was activating your Veela Charm,” said Harry calmly.

“Hyuuga?” repeated Gabrielle in disbelief before a small smile formed on her face. Maybe coming here wouldn’t turn out so bad after all.

Ten Minutes Later

“I see, so you have come here representing the Veela society whom wishes an audience with me?” said Harry calmly as he walked besides Gabrielle.

“Yes Lord Hyuuga,” replied Gabrielle with a small blush as she tried to meet his gaze.

‘What is with my emotions all of a sudden, and why do I keep addressing him as Lord Hyuuga?’ thought Gabrielle furiously, as she tried to control herself.

“Hmm, as interesting as meeting with the elders of your people sounds, I am afraid that I am currently busy at the moment, with being a teacher and all. They will have to wait until I am free, which probably won’t be until around Christmas Break,” said Harry.

“If you like, I wouldn’t mind being your connection to the elders,” said Gabrielle softly, but with a slight bit of hope. If he said yes then she would have a reason to see him more and maybe get the chance to get to know him better.

“Are you sure that you would to do such a tedious task Ms. Delacour?” asked Harry with a raised eyebrow.

“It would be no problem at all, but of course I might expect you to do me a couple favors in future for doing this,” replied Gabrielle with a suggestive wink. Finally, she was able to calm down her Veela blood in order to flirt with him.

“Hmm, very well, it would be foolish of me to pass up such a generous offer,” said Harry with a small nod and smile.

“I am glad you like my idea Lord Hyuuga,” said Gabrielle seductively.

“Feel free to call me Yuu-san,” said Harry calmly. Gabrielle just pouted cutely as she noticed her advances on him weren’t working.

“I like Lord Hyuuga better,” said Gabrielle with a small blush.

“As you wish Ms. Delacour,” said Harry with a small smile as he shook his head at the young woman.

“Gabrielle, please call me Gabrielle,” said Gabrielle with a beautiful smile.

“Only if you agree to call me Yuu,” said Harry with a grin.

“Aww, but I like calling you Lord Hyuuga,” said Gabrielle with a smirk. She wasn’t lying either, something about her calling him that seemed to make her blood boil.

“Ok, how about this then? Since you seem so keen on giving me a title before my name, why not just called me Yuu-sama or Hyuuga-sama instead? That way only people who speak Japanese will understand what the suffix means and I won’t seem too arrogant in front of others that might overhear you addressing me as such,” said Harry.

“What does the sama part mean?” asked Gabrielle curiously.

“It is merely away of addressing someone of higher ranking then you, but if you must be technical, it means master or lord,” replied Harry.

“Yuu-sama,” said Gabrielle slowly before nodding her head and giving him a seductive smile.

“Ok, Yuu-sama works for me, so not you must call me by my first name,” said Gabrielle with a victorious smile.

“Very well, Gabrielle-san,” said Harry with a small smile.

“See, that wasn’t so hard,” said Gabrielle cheerfully. Harry just looked down at the woman and gave her a look clearly meaning that he couldn’t believe she was calling him difficult. Gabrielle blushed lightly in embarrassment because of the look he was giving her, but quickly brushed it off and changed the subject.

“I am curious though, how were you able to resist my Veela Charm at full blast, when you were right in front of me? Not trying to sound arrogant, but I can even make the most faithful man my slave with my charm,” said Gabrielle.

“You will find that my mind is very well protected from outside influences, which is why your Veela Charm failed to work on me,” replied Harry honestly.

“Figures, of course someone as powerful as you would know Occulmency, but still, having powerful enough shields to block my Charm, which rivals that of a pure-blooded Veela. Most impressive Yuu-sama,” said Gabrielle with an approving nod, which caused Harry to chuckle.

“I am glad you approve Gabrielle-san, but it seems we have some visitors so our conversation will have to be cut short,” said Harry as his face became hard and the veins around his eyes bulged out. Gabrielle jumped a little in surprise at seeing his veins bulge out like that, but was quickly overcome by a large feeling of lust as she felt the power rolling off him.

“There is no point in hiding, I can see you quite clearly,” said Harry calmly. Gabrielle wondered whom he was talking to, but a moment later, five men all wearing pure black clothes that covered there bodies and faces completely surrounded them.

“Who are you?” demanded Gabrielle as she fingered her wand within her jacket.

“We have come here to acquire the person known as Hyuuga Yuu,” said the leader of the group.

“I am afraid that I do not go anywhere with people I do not know, but feel free to schedule an appointment with me through post,” said Harry calmly.

“I don’t think you understand, our master wishes to speak with you and if we must, we will use force,” said the leader calmly.

“It is you who don’t understand, so stand down before I am forced to use force,” replied Harry emotionlessly. The leader said nothing, but made a quick gesture, which was the signal for his men to capture their target. Harry saw the little gesture easily and decided not to waste time teaching these people a lesson since he didn’t want Gabrielle to get hurt in the cross fire.

“Foolish, you don’t realize it, but you were already dead the moment you stepped into my field of divination,” said Harry with a shake of his head. The men ignored him and continued towards him at speeds no regular human could move at. Harry just brought his hands together as if he was praying before pulling them apart quickly and moving them at speeds there were merely a blur to their eyes.

His attackers just seemed to freeze in mid air, before seconds later they burst into dust. The leader watched in awe as his men were destroyed right before his eyes and he couldn’t understand how. Before he could retreat or attack, a voice in his ears from behind caused him to freeze in fear, which was a feeling he had only experienced once before in his life, twice including this moment.

“If you thought being a vampire gave you any type of advantage, then you sorely underestimate me,” said Harry from behind the leader.

“Impossible,” mumbled the leader in disbelief.

“I will allow you to live so that you can give your master a warning. Tell him, that I will not be so merciful next time and to be grateful that his men didn’t target any of my family or I would have came for his head personally,” said Harry as his Byakugan eyes glared into the man’s own brown eyes.

Harry didn’t waste for an answer, but merely waved his hand and banished the leader of the group into a tree where he slumped to the ground unconscious.

“Incredible,” moaned Gabrielle in lust as she just witnessed the power this Hyuuga Yuu possessed.

“Forgive me, but I am afraid it is time for me to head back to the castle. It was a pleasure meeting you Gabrielle-san and I hope to get to know you better in the future,” said Harry with a small bow before turning his back and walking towards Hogwarts.

‘Such power, no wonder the elders wish to form an alliance with him,’ thought Gabrielle before moaning in ecstasy. Her Veela blood wanted him badly for her to make him her mate and Gabrielle couldn’t help but agree with the prospect of having him. The only other man to ever make her feel this way was Harry Potter whom also possessed great magical power.

‘Why do I have an obsession with men who can completely dominate me if it came to it?’ thought Gabrielle with a small smirk as she thought of ways to make this Hyuuga Yuu hers.

Itachi was quietly making his way through the woods of the Forbidden Forest and enjoying the beauty of nature. The forest may look intimidating to most people, but to someone who grew up in the woods with his mother and father, it felt like being back at the shrine to Itachi. No one would ever suspect it, but Itachi missed the shrine and most of all his mother. Life was so much simpler back then when it was just the three of them and Jiji. Of course, he loved Hanabi dearly and wouldn’t wish for her not to be born, but he did wish his mother was still alive.

She was the only one who could ever truly open him or his father up except for Hanabi who also possessed that gift. When he had watched her die, a piece of him died as well that night and many things changed. It wasn’t until a few days later, his father gave him a letter from his mother that she had written in case of her death. His Kaa-san had somehow foreseen her own death, but how was still a mystery to even his father and he possessed the Byakugan. The letter was something Itachi kept to this day and no one knew its contents, but him.

The night after receiving her letter, Itachi completely changed and started to immerse him self in his studies of his clan and their magic. By the time, he turned eight, he had mastered their fighting style, but not to the full potential because he still hadn’t activated his Sharingan yet. It wasn’t until recently did he not only activate his Sharingan, but master it within a few months. His father told him that with his new understanding and power, that he would soon come to rival his own power, thought Itachi doubted that happening for a few more years. This didn’t bother him though, because he would continue to grow stronger regardless if it took him years to reach his full potential. He would grow stronger and stronger, until he had the power to protect his family for generations to come, just like his mother asked him to do in her letter.

‘I will not fail you Kaa-san,’ thought Itachi as he stared up into the full moon, but his thoughts were interrupted when he felt a weird magical signature heading straight for him. He quickly cast a powerful genjutsu over the area and then disappeared into the woods so he could watch the person from the shadows.

“Are we getting closer Leon?” asked Sheik as she ran with her pack brother towards their prey. She was only twelve years old, but due to her being a purebred werewolf like the other two, she looked older, then she actually was. Long beautiful brown hair fell down to the middle of her back, while yellow, amber eyes silently observed all her surroundings. To help keep her hidden from would be followers, she wore a magically altered suit that blended in perfectly with the surroundings and reflected no light.

“Almost, he is just up ahead,” replied Leon as he sniffed the air, while continuing to run forward. He was a very handsome man, with short brown hair, and well built body. Leon stood at about 5’9, which was a few inches shorter then his brother Zack, but he was much older and powerful then his brother.

“I still can’t believe that we were forced to come after some child,” complained Zack with a shake of his head. Like his brother Leon, he was also very handsome and in great shape, but his hair was jet black and had a small ponytail in the back. He was around thirty-three, which made him ten years younger then his brother.

“The elders wouldn’t have sent us after him if he was just some regular child,” said Leon with a sigh.

“I don’t know, ever since two months ago, they have been acting very strange,” said Sheik with a thoughtful expression.

“I swear, if word gets out that I went chasing after some kid, I am going to be pissed,” said Zack angrily.

“Quiet, our target seems to be in the clearing up ahead,” said Leon as he slowed down and started to silently make his way forward. He gave a small signal for Sheik to go to the right and Zack to the left while he approached from the middle.

The three trained werewolves, easily made their way towards their target without making a sound, as the boy continued to stare up at the full moon. Now most people would think that it being a full moon, that they should be transformed into their wolf bodies, but that is just a misconception by wizards. You see, a person could control their transformations if they tamed the wolves inside of them, instead of trying to fight it. Of course, being born pure werewolves gave them a natural control over their transformation, but they still felt intense cravings on the night of the full moon, along with being more powerful.

“There is no point in hiding your selves, I have known you have been there for quite some time,” said the boy as he continued to stare up at the moon. This shocked the three, because they hadn’t many any sound or anything to give away their presence.

“Feh, I was getting tired of sneaking around anyway,” said Zack with a smirk as he revealed himself.

“How did you know we were here?” asked Sheik curiously, as she appeared on the other side of their target.

“I would like to know that as well,” said Leon as he appeared behind the boy.

“Hn,” replied the boy.

“Hey you little punk, don’t you ignore us,” growled Zack angrily.

“Calm down Zack, I rather not fight if we don’t have to,” said Leon calmly.

“Why are you here?” asked the boy suddenly, as he turned to face Leon. Leon could barely stop the shudder that went through his body as he stared into the boy’s coal, black eyes. They were so cold and piercing, they were the eyes of a warrior, and it made him understand why the elders sent his team to hunt the boy down. His team may be young, but they were the best trackers out there and damn good at fighting as well.

“Before I answer that, could you tell me if you are the one known as Uchiha Itachi?” asked Leon.

“Hai,” replied the boy calmly.

“What does that mean?” asked Zack confused.

“It is Japanese for yes, you buffoon,” said Sheik with a shake of her head. Zack just glared at the girl, but made no move to do anything about the comment.

“The elders of our clan have sent us to bring you before them, they wish to speak with you,” said Leon, hoping the boy would just agree to come with them.

“They should have come themselves then if they wished to speak with me,” said Itachi emotionlessly.

“As if the elders would waste their time coming after a kid who probably hasn’t even hit puberty yet,” laughed Zack. Itachi didn’t seem to hear the comment as he continued to stare at Leon.

‘Something is not right, if the boy is so important then why was it so easy to find him?’ thought Sheik worried.

“Please, they merely wish to speak with you, I swear to you on our clan that no harm will come to you while you are with us,” said Leon with a friendly smile.

“My answer is no, now leave,” said Itachi as he turned his back on Leon and stared up into the moon again.

“I was hoping you would say that, because I have been itching to beat someone down since I was given this stupid mission. Looks like your lucky day, because you are going to be the person I beat down,” said Zack with a smirk as he started to transform into his hybrid form. Itachi didn’t even bother to watch as the man started to transform while Leon hoped his brother wouldn’t overdue it since they needed to bring back the boy alive.

‘What is this feeling of death that I keep experiencing?’ thought Sheik as she watched Zack transform.

“Ahhh, much better,” said Zack as he stretched his muscles (Imagine a werewolf from the movie Underworld when transformed and was still able to walk like a man).

“Fool,” said Itachi coldly, as Zack charged towards him at incredible speeds. Itachi calmly turned around and didn’t even bother to dodge the claw swipe from the man. Zack smirked as five deep gashes appeared on the boy’s chest, but then his eyes widened in surprise when he realized that the boy was still standing.

“Never let your guard down,” said Itachi before he exploded and Zack was caught in the blast. Leon and Sheik threw their arms over their face to protect them from the winds and debris. When it finally calmed down, they looked upon the seen with wide eyes.

The space where the boy was just standing was completely obliterated and now a small crater was located in front of them. They heard a small groaning noise and turned their heads quickly to see Zack slumped against a nearby tree with a broken arm and probably some broken ribs.

“Impossible,” said Sheik as she kneeled down next to Zack as he transformed back into his human state. She looked into his eyes and realized he suffered a major concussion from the explosion as well, but luckily, his werewolf powers would take care of that while he was unconscious.

“Sheik be on guard, something tells me the boy is still around,” said Leon as he quickly transformed into his hybrid form. Sheik just nodded her head as she transformed as well, but quickly screamed in surprise when roots burst out of the ground and bound her to a tree that had suddenly appeared behind her.

“Hold on, I’m coming,” yelled Leon, but was stopped when he felt something grab his ankle and looked down to see a hand from underground had his ankle.

“What the-,’ started Leon, but was stopped when he was suddenly pulled underground and found himself buried up to his neck.

“Pathetic, I expected more of a challenge from a bunch of werewolves,” said Itachi as he looked down at Leon with his Sharingan eyes spinning madly.

“Who, no what are you?” asked Leon in fear, as he stared in horror into Itachi’s Sharingan.

“Hn,” was all Itachi said before knocking the man out with a swift kick to the head. He then turned around and calmly walked towards the girl, whom was unable to break out of his genjutsu.

“Release me at once you coward,” growled Sheik. She was actually terribly scared because he had somehow repressed her werewolf so she was now in her human form, but she would be damned if she allowed him the satisfaction of seeing her fear.

“Send a message to your elders, and let them know if they wish to speak with me, then to come see me in person. Otherwise, I will not be so merciful next time,” said Itachi calmly. Sheik was about to retort when she watched the boy in front of her break down into a bunch of crows that instantly flew away. So caught up in awe that she didn’t realize until a minute later that she was no longer being bound to a tree.

‘Just who are you Uchiha Itachi?’ thought Sheik before checking on her other two pack members.

“Um Professor, are you here?” asked Lily nervously as she entered the room. It was time for her first private class with Professor Hyuuga, but from the looks of it, he wasn’t here. She decided to look around the room and see if she could find out anything about her mysterious teacher. Just as she was about to reach for his pile of scrolls, a familiar voice caused her to turn around suddenly, with a nervous look in her eyes.

“I apologize for being late, but I wished to look up some information in the Library. Please, take a seat, and we shall begin,” said Harry with a warm smile as he down where he usually did during class.

“It’s ok, I just got here my self,” said Lily as she sat down across from her Professor.

“Now, the reason we are here is to help you control your magic so that you will be able to perform even the simplest of spells without overdoing it. To understand truly how your magic flows through your body, you will need to reach your magical core,” said Harry calmly. Lily just listened carefully to each word because so she wouldn’t get scolded later.

“You may be a little young to some, but to me, this is something everyone should learn when they first perform accidental magic,” said Harry.

“We are not allowed to use magic outside school until we are sixteen though,” said Lily before apologizing for interrupting him.

“You are correct, but you will soon learn that I find many of your magical laws to be pointless, but that is a discussion for another time. Tell me, do you know what meditating is?” said Harry.

“Yes Professor, it is where you try to free yourself from all your emotions and find peace within,” said Lily with a nod.

“Very good, five points to Hufflepuff for a good description of one of the reason why people meditate, but you will be using it for different means. I want you to meditate and try to find your magical core,” said Harry with a small smile.

“I’ll try Professor,” said Lily nervous, as she sat crossed leg and closed her eyes tightly and tried to find her core.

“No you are doing it wrong, don’t force it, just relax, and let your magic find you,” said Harry softly. Lily, did as she was told and started to relax her body and mind.

It felt weird at first, but soon she was able to clear most of her thoughts away and merely focus on finding her magic.

‘Wow, this feels great. I never knew meditating could be so relaxing,’ thought Lily as a content smile appeared on her face.

“Focus,” said Harry softly, as he realized Lily’s mind was starting to wonder. Lily just nodded her head before taking a deep breath and going back to clearing her mind.

Harry just watched her with a proud smile because it seemed that even with all the pressure of being the Potter heir, she was able to keep focus and not let her worries cloud her mind. He remembered it took him quite awhile to overcome all the bad memories and pressure he had during the war, when he first started to learn Occulmency. If it weren’t for Dumbledore’s saint like patience, he probably would have never mastered Occulmency to the level he did.

“Ok Lily, it is time to go,” said Harry as he tapped the girl on the shoulder. Lily’s eyes popped open in surprise because she had forgot all about her surroundings.

“Time to go already?” asked Lily confused, before Harry showed her the time and her eyes widened in disbelief.

“It’s been two hours already? No way,” said Lily in shock.

“I am afraid so, but I am impressed you were able to meditate so easily. I would think that with all the pressure from being the Potter heir and such, you would have had a tougher time,” said Harry with a raised eyebrow. Lily blushed slightly at the comment before replying.

“I don’t know, at first, that’s all I could think about, but then I just listened to your voice and was able to block everything else out. I have never felt so relaxed before, I don’t think,” said Lily with a small blush.

“I am glad I was able to help you focus,” said Harry with a warm smile. Lily just blushed before her eyes widened in surprise and she quickly said something.

“I think I was able to reach my core, but I’m not sure. I did feel this tingling sensation after awhile as if my magic was calling out to me,” said Lily anxiously and a large smile on her face.

“Very good, if you keep of this rate of progress, you will reach your core in no time at all and we will be able to work on more advanced exercises to control your magic. For now though, it is time for you to go back to your house dorms and rest. We will meet again for your next lesson in a few days, but until then, practice meditating every night before going to bed, for about 30 minutes,” said Harry with a proud smile.

“Ok Professor and thank you again for all your help,” said Lily before leaving with a small smile on her face. Harry watched her leave before he took a sip of tea and spoke to the other occupant of the room.

“Your stealth skills are impressive, but not good enough to get by me, Shino,” said Harry calmly. He didn’t even look up when Shino stepped out of the shadows in the corner of the room. Harry gestured for the boy to take a seat while he poured them some tea.

“Why have you come here?” asked Harry calmly as he placed a cup of tea in front of Shino.

“I wish to learn more about my family,” answered Shino as he politely took the cup and drank some of the tea.

“Yes, I expected as such, but what exactly do you wish to learn about them?” asked Harry knowingly.

“For as long as I remember, my family has had no last name yet you gave me a scroll pertaining to my ancestors. How did you come to have this, yet I found nothing of this in my parent’s vaults or previous possessions?” said Shino.

“How I came in possession of the scroll is not something that I can tell you, because it was not I who possessed it first. I merely obtained it after a dear family member of mine passed away along with his many other possessions,” replied Harry.

“I see,” said Shino as he bowed his head slightly.

“I may not have known your mother or father, but I do know that the reason they probably didn’t have a last name is because they knew of their history. You see, you are only allowed to take up your last name if you possess the ability of your clan. Chances are, you are the first in many centuries to possess a bond with bugs that your ancestors had formed a contract with,” said Harry. Shino frowned slightly at that knowledge, but could tell that his Professor was not lying to him.

“You possess the power of your clan, the question is, will you learn to harness it to its full potential and become the new Lord Aburame, or ignore the gift you have been given and let it be lost forever,” said Harry with a piercing gaze. Shino stared long and hard at his hands before raising his head and looking straight into his Professor’s eyes.

“The bugs have been my only friends since I have lost my parents, I owe them much. If my clan was as powerful as you say they are, then I will need to become stronger so I can not only protect myself, but my friends as well,” said Shino firmly, as the bugs inside of him started to buzz loudly in approval.

“Then as the head of the ancient and noble clan of Hyuuga, I will offer you my assistance in reaching your goals and should ever need help in the future, you will have the aid of Hyuuga,” said Harry as he stood up regally. Shino don’t know what possessed him to do it, but he too stood up and stared Professor Hyuuga straight into his eyes then words started to come out of his mouth.

“As Lord Aburame, I thank you for your assistance and will offer you aid the in future should you ever need the help of the Aburame clan,” said Shino before bowing. Harry just bowed as well as magic started to swirl around the two. That night, a powerful alliance was created between two of the most powerful clans to ever exist. It would be an alliance that would shake the very foundations of the magical world in the future.

“I see you did not heed my advice Shadow,” said Varg disappointed. Shadow just bowed his head in shame as he kneeled before his master.

“Forgive me master, I acted foolishly and am willing to except any punishment, even death for my mistakes,” said Shadow as he kept his head bowed.

“There will be no need for that, but I do hope you have learned to never underestimate your opponents, whether they be human or not,” said Varg.

“Of course master,” said Shadow.

“Good, then I shall try to contact this Lord Hyuuga through post since I do not wish to lose more men needlessly. I only pray that he agrees to meet with us,” said Varg before dismissing Shadow.

“Hello Rudolph, it is so good to see you again,” said a man wearing a black cloak to cover his whole body and face.

“Who are you?” asked Rudolph as he drew his wand. He wasn’t taking the chances that it could be another hit wizard in disguise since he had almost got caught last time like that.

“I am merely an old friend who wishes to acquire your services,” said the man with a small smirk.

“Why would I want to work for you?” asked Rudolph with a sneer.

“Well, if you did decide to work for me, I would give you the one thing you desire more then anything else,” said the man.

“What is that?” asked Rudolph.

“A chance to kill and torture the daughter of Harry Potter,” laughed the man darkly. This caught Rudolph’s interest because he wanted revenge against the damn Potter brat since he defeated Voldemort, but would never had it because he died in that battle. Taking it out on his daughter was just as enticing to me him though.

“How do I know you are serious and what do I have to do for you in order to get the damn Potter girl?” asked Rudolph carefully.

“Oh not much, just help me gather up the other rogue Death Eaters and some other allies I wish to acquire. That is what you did when served Voldemort correct? Other then torturing and killing,” said the man with a sadistic smirk.

“Fine, but just as long as you make sure Potter’s brat is mine!” said Rudolph with a glint in his eyes. Yes, he would have his revenge and it would be delicious.

“Good, now then, let us be on our way,” said the man darkly.

“So tell us Gabrielle, did you find the person we asked you to?” asked Maya curiously. She was the head of the elders of all the Veela that resided in France and even though she was over a hundred of years old, she was still absolutely beautiful.

“Yes, I found the one known as Hyuuga Yuu and told him that you all wished to meet with him,” replied Gabrielle with a forced smile. Damn she hated talking with these Veela, whom thought they were so much better then her because they were pureblooded and not a half-blood like she was.

“It is Lady Maya, but that shall be forgiven for now since you did manage to complete your task. So tell us, where is the one known as Hyuuga Yuu now? Were you able to bring him as we asked?” said Tiara curiously.

“He declined your offer to meet with you all because he said he is busy teaching at Hogwarts at the moment, but if you wished to meet with him, then sometime in late December would be best,” said Gabrielle with a smirk, because she knew that would rile them up.

“This is inexcusable, you were supposed to bring him here and not come back with this message that is clearly meant to mock us,” growled out another Elder. The other elders started to agree as well, but were soon silenced by a flare of magic coming from Maya.

“Silence, I believe Gabrielle has more to tell us,” said Maya with a knowing look.

“Thank you, well I know you wanted to bring him back at all cost, but before I could use my Veela Charm at full power, a group of five Vampires appeared,” said Gabrielle to the surprise of the council.

“Were you able to tell what clan they were from?” asked Tiara with a raised eyebrow.

“That is the strange thing, they carried no symbol on their clothes, but they wore some type of ninja garb that protected them from the sun,” said Gabrielle with a pensive look.

“Impossible, from your description, these sound like some of Varg’s clan,” said an Elder with a snort.

“I am curious is to how you were able to survive a group of vampires, especially ones that were probably trained very highly in combat and assassination from your description,” said Tiara curiously.

“I didn’t even know they were following us until they appeared, but Lord Hyuuga knew we were being followed the whole time and told them to stop hiding and reveal themselves,” said Gabrielle honestly.

“Unimpressive, vampires are not that hard to sense if you keep your attention focus on your surroundings,” said an elder as she talked down to Gabrielle, which caused the young Veela to glare angrily at her.

“Continue your story,” said Maya.

“As I was saying, Lord Hyuuga told them to stop hiding at which point they revealed themselves and surrounded us. The leader demanded he come with them to meet his master, but Lord Hyuuga politely declined and told them to leave. His response was not taken so well and they attempted to use force, but before they could come within two feet of us, Lord Hyuuga did some strange movement with his arms that I could not follow. When he stopped, the vampires that had attacked us burst into dust and he somehow got behind the leader where he held him to his mercy,” said Gabrielle with a large grin.

“Impossible,” said an Elder in disbelief.

“She is obviously lying, no wizard could use magic in its raw form, not even we can control our magic to such a degree,” said another Elder in outrage.

“Silence, she is not lying about her story otherwise I would know,” said Maya loudly and firmly. All the elders remained silent and dare not challenge their unofficial queen because even though she was older then all of them, she was still the most powerful.

“It seems we greatly underestimated this Lord Hyuuga,” said Tiara as she rubbed her beautiful chin thoughtfully.

“Indeed, it seems that we should have listened to our previous ancestor’s knowledge on these Hyuuga and not have acted so foolishly. I can only hope we have not insulted him too much to where he will seek to get revenge, for I have no doubt he knew the exact details of your mission,” said Maya with a small sigh.

“Lady Maya, you can’t not think that one wizard alone has the power to threaten us. Not even Dumbledore or the late Dark Lord would be foolish enough to challenge the might of the Veela tribes,” said an Elder with a sneer.

“Make no mistake Edna, if this man even possesses have the power of which Gabrielle told us today, then I have no doubt he could decimate us quite easily. You are all dismissed, I wish to speak with Gabrielle alone,” said Maya with a wave of her hand.

‘You have no idea at all of the power he possesses, it is even greater then that of Harry Potter,’ thought Gabrielle with a shake of her head at the ignorance of the council members. Their race was doomed if the elders continued to think they could control her Lord Hyuuga, thought Gabrielle with a frown, before it turned into a large grin as she thought of ways to seduce her Lord.

‘I will find a way to be yours Lord Hyuuga, no matter the cost,’ thought Gabrielle with a determined look before approaching Lady Maya.

“Hey Lily, what are you doing?” asked Jill as she sat down on her friend’s bed.

“I was just practicing meditating, Professor Hyuuga said it would help with my magic control,” replied Lily as she broke out of her trance.

“I don’t know how you can stay around him as much as you do, he is just so creepy and scary. I rather spend an entire day in Professor’s Snape class then stare into Professor’s Hyuuga’s creepy eyes all night,” said Jill with a slight shiver.

“He isn’t that bad, besides, I think his eyes are cool,” said Lily with a light blush.

“Yeah you would think his eyes are cool, I mean you hang around that Itachi boy as well who like shows no emotion what so ever,” said Jill with a teasing smirk.

“Hey, you are one to talk when you and like most every other girl in school from every year stare at him dreamily every day,” said Lily as she pushed her friend lightly.

“You can’t blame me, he is just so hot. I can’t wait to see what he looks like when he gets older,” said Jill with a large smirk.

“That’s disgusting and I do not want to hear about,” said Lily as she shook her head at Jill.

“You know, you have to be the only girl in school who doesn’t find Itachi or Professor Hyuuga attractive, no matter how creepy they are,” said Jill as she lied back down in the bed.

“Why is that so weird?” asked Lily curiously, as she lied down next to her friend.

“Oh come on, they are both gorgeous and yet you can’t even admit that when I have even seen Professor McGonagall check out Professor Hyuuga when she thought no one was looking,” said Jill as she stared at her friend with a raised eyebrow.

“First of all, that is disgusting and I don’t need to know about that. Secondly, I don’t know why, but for some reason when I am around them or Hanabi, I feel safe and at home as if I was around family members. I know it sounds crazy, but I think I might be related to them in some way,” said Lily with a confused look on her face. Jill just gave Lily a curious look before shaking her head and staring up at the ceiling.

“Sounds crazy, but maybe you are, who really knows. If you are though, think you could hook me up with Itachi?” laughed Jill before Lily hit her over the head with her pillow. This action caused the girls to get into a pillow fight where they started to laugh and have much fun before going to sleep that night.

“Werewolves, Veela, Vampires, and Centaurs have all sent people to seek us out and yet there are still more to come,” said Harry as he sipped on some sake while he sat before his son.

“Hai, but which group of magical races will approach us next is the question,” said Itachi calmly as he drank some tea.

“No doubt the goblins will soon wish to speak with me, but they will probably try through more diplomatic means then the others since they knew our ancestors fairly well,” said Harry thoughtfully.

“I believe the light and dark elves will also come out of hiding to seek an alliance with us or at least learn of our goals,” said Itachi with a nod.

“Yes, but there will be some major conflict when they found out the Uchiha and Hyuuga clans are working together along with the Aburame Clan,” said Harry with a small frown.

“Why is that?” asked Shino as he spoke up for the first time. As the new clan head and pact between him and Harry, his Professor decided to let him know of everything that was going on as long as he swore to secrecy. Otherwise, Harry would not hesitate to forcefully remove all knowledge of their plans from his mind permanently.

“The light and dark elves share different morals about life and it has caused many wars between the two groups. Their rivalry was so great that wizards started to hunt down members from both sides because their battles caused so much damage. In the end, the light elves fled to the Hyuuga’s for sanctuary while the dark elves sought sanctuary with the Uchiha. Each group is bound to serve that clan for all eternity since through their protection they were protected from going extinct, though the wizarding world doesn’t know that,” said Harry.

“The reason we know this is because the knowledge was given to us from our grandfather that kept track of both groups after our clans disappeared,” said Itachi as he answered Shino’s unvoiced question.

“I see, wouldn’t that mean that they would probably avoid seeking you out because of fear you would force their people into servitude?” stated Shino, which caused Harry and Itachi too look at him curiously.

“He makes a valid point Otou-san,” said Itachi with a pensive look in his eyes.

“Yes, I believe you are correct Shino, it seems Itachi, and I will have to go hunting for them if they do not come to us by end of the winter term,” said Harry as he drank some sake.

“I am curious, will the Giants, and Trolls approach you as well?” asked Shino as he sipped some tea.

“No, the Giants will never submit them selves to our ideals and Trolls are just mindless cannon fodder,” replied Harry with a shake of his head.

“You should be more worried about those that will approach you, like the Acromantula of the Forbidden Forest. They have probably sensed your connection with the fame Kikkai bugs by now and are waiting for you to seek them out,” said Itachi seriously.

“He makes a valid point, you will need to seek out those whom once held an alliance with your own clan,” said Harry.

“I will try to sneak out sometime this upcoming week to meet with those that reside in the Forbidden Forest,” said Shino with a nod.

“Be careful, there is still one more clan out there and they have never been allies of any of our clans,” said Harry with a hard look in his eyes.

“The Inuzuka,” said Itachi with narrowed eyes.

“The clan that is able to communicate with animals and use them to fight their battles,” said Shino with a thoughtful expression.

“Yes, let us hope they do still not harbor any aggression towards us or we will have a far greater war on our hands,” said Harry solemnly.

“Merlin I hate grading papers,” mumbled Ginny as she looked over the students homework that she had assigned two days ago.

“I find not assigning any helps with that problem,” said Harry with a small smirk as he entered her office.

“Yuu-kun, to what do I owe the pleasure?” asked Ginny with a grin as she looked up at the handsome professor.

“I had some free time so I thought I would come to see how you have been doing, I hope that you do not mind Ginny-chan,” said Harry as he took a seat in front of Ginny.

“Well, if you give me a moment and let me put these papers away, so we can go out instead of staying in here,” said Ginny with a smile.

“As you wish Ginny-chan,” said Harry with a nod.
