"Bloody hell!" Malfoy coughed viciously as he was healed by a seventh year
"I can't believe it" A fifth year whispered, though his voice carried throughout the whole room "what the hell was he?"
"He was a first year!" One other Slytherin hissed "But he beat us like we were nothing!"
"Yeah but he's Harry Potter" A third year replied "he defeated you-know-who as a baby, it makes sense that he is powerful"
"He'll pay!" Malfoy growled as he stood up "I will make him pay and..."
"You will not do anything" A Slytherin seventh year boy said "I am not having that demon back in this common room just because you can't control your mouth!"
"What?!" Malfoy exclaimed
"That boy hasn't even finished a year of magical education and he beat us all. He used spells that some of us haven't even learnt yet" A third year said "do you really think it's a good idea to antagonise him?"
"My father" Draco began
"Is not a healer" A fourth year interrupted before he could get up to speed "what is he going to do if Potter burns your face off? And what can he do? Get Potter expelled? In case you haven't noticed, Potter probably doesn't care about getting expelled if he's willing to attack an entire house. And even if he does, it will still take him some time and Potter will be able to get his revenge before he's kicked out. Nothing you do can help"
"But..." Malfoy looked around for support but found none, he growled and stormed off
"Harry" Delphi walked up to Harry just before he went up to his room "what did you do?"
"What do you mean?" Harry frowned
"Harry, I know you well enough to know when you're hiding something, what did you do?" She asked again with a sigh "Wait..." she reached into his robes and tugged on something, Harry's skull mask poked out before Harry quickly shoved it back in "what did you do?" She asked, worried but kept her voice low to prevent others from hearing
"Just made it clear I was not to be messed with" Harry shrugged "don't worry, they're all alive"
"Harry" Delphi said exasperated
"Hey, I let them have their time where they thought they were the top dogs but it was well past time for them to learnt that that I am the apex predator here"
"That's not what I'm upset about" Delphi glared at him
"What then?" Harry asked, looking very confused
"You went without me!" She accused
"Oh, I'm sorry" Harry said sincerely "if it makes you feel better, you can come with me next time"
"You're going again?" She asked
"Yeah, when I was there I noticed something that interested me. I plan to visit there in the future" Harry grinned before walking off
"Okay, why the hell am I here?" Harry sighed as he found himself in a meeting with Dumbledore. He was currently in the headmaster's office, Dumbledore sat at his desk with the three head of houses standing besides him. Flitwick stood at the side of the desk to make sure he was seen "To be left alone, it's not that difficult of a request" Harry added with a look to Dumbledore
"Mr Potter" Dumbledore began "you have stated previously, on multiple occasions, that you wished to be left alone."
"You mean like just now?" Harry interrupted
"Yes" Dumbledore sighed "now, we've also noticed that despite your desire to not be here, you still like learning"
"That's because I'm not foolish enough to waste resources when I have them" Harry shrugged "you got a library, you've got things I can learn."
