Chapter 5: I Spit on Your Grave.
It was a mental and psychological preparation to the idea that they would in a few minutes reviewing their parents, who were furious against them for their unacceptable behavior. In recent weeks because their parents had increased their letters and bellowed to show their disapproval colorful, and bellowing, in ordinary times rare, had increased at the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft. However, the trio had spoken at length the night before. They had decided not to let it go because after all they had done nothing wrong and if their parents did not understand, too bad for them.
They were in a compartment with Blaise and his two friends, and all six were playing a game of cards explosive, which ended with a victory Blaise.
The children got ready, and the trio of gold, just before exiting the chamber, shook hands for reassurance.
- 'Everything will be OK,' said Elizabeth with a loud voice in the direction of his two friends. They both smile a émirent low, but it was mostly Harry felt ill. It would be so preferred to stay at Hogwarts. He could imagine only too well the treatment was going to be reserved for the landing gear.
They went down the train, and too quickly spotted their parents lined up, arms crossed. Only Lily let out her joy when she saw her Ryan. She rushed to him and took him in her arms, without even giving him the opportunity to breathe.
- 'You think he can choke like that' Harry suggested with a hint of cruelty, to suppress the fact that he did not have the right to such treatment since he was that an infant. Jealousy gripped his heart and is distilled through his veins like a poison.
The three children approached slowly from their parents, not without before taking the time to say goodbye to their friends Slytherin, which accentuated the mines on the faces of angry parents. But they did not care. They do not show just rude because their parents were just bigots.
Then they saw a familiar figure behind all the parents.
- 'REMUS! " screamed the three children together, and a common movement, they rushed to their favorite uncle, shamelessly hustling their parents.
- 'Calm down kids' Remus said in a tired voice. The full moon was two days ago, I'm still a bit woozy.
- 'Oh you should not have come just to mumuse Uncle,' said Elizabeth a little girl's voice, using the nickname she gave her uncle when she was little.
- 'Then the children, that way you learn revolutionize Hogwarts' Remus joked, after taking each in his arms.
- 'It depends on what you heard,' said Neville with a knowing look. 'Let's say we apply our best not to reproduce the stupid prejudices and unnecessary rivalry between houses of some of our predecessors. "
With these words, parents who were already angry, saw their faces turn red. In a firm voice, James Potter Remus approached and children.
- 'It's time to go', he said in an icy voice. 'We're going to Grimmauld Place. "
While the children continued to talk happily with Remus as if nothing had happened, and that Ryan was bragging to all other adults, all were walking in Black, who lived not even five minutes from King's Cross.
Once home, the children had barely time to remove their coats that Sirius already shouting to her daughter to go to his room.
- 'And I know why I recorded father? " Elizabeth asked in a mocking tone.
- 'Do not talk to me in that tone Elisabeth Black' Sirius cried a little louder. 'You know why I punish you! "
- 'Not at all could you please enlighten me? "
Harry and Neville exchanged a smile. Knowing their friend and his brilliant mind, she would not allow himself to his father.
Sirius seemed to be about to explode. He began pacing the room in which all were. Neville's parents were sitting on the purple couch that was in the corner, sat next to Lily Evans, Remus and Ryan on another couch, and stroked his hair. James stood and watched him a Harry look bad. When his son met his gaze, he contented himself with a smile sly.
Needless to say, even more enraged that James Potter.
- 'Who do you think you are? " screamed the old marauder so suddenly that everyone except Harry, startled. 'As if that was not enough shame you to do at home Potter as the first ever to be broken down in Slytherin, but the more you worry lowing open! You make friends! Ryan relentless attacks you! You try to steal his glory, to take actions to your account SES! You to a duel after the curfew hours to get him to take and does lose points for Gryffindor! But who do you think being miserable kind of vermin, you can not even to his ankle by Merlin! And the more you corrupting Neville and Elizabeth! "
Harry had become quite red in the heat of anger, and he felt tears of frustration and anger mounted, but it does show them that he was weak, it will not allow them this small pleasure mean, it was as better.
- 'It did not corrupt', Neville intervened with a voice both angry and contemptuous. 'We have absolutely nothing wrong! We have good grades, we had only one restraint and Elisabeth had none, we do not lose points we are making our assignments on time and we have never been punished! So tell us what the problem is! " On these last words, he looked at each of the adults here, except Remus, angrily.
- The problem is that you Neville mixture Slytherins who are all future Death Eaters, 'said James, trying to contain his anger. I know you were friends with Harry when he was little, but obviously it's jealousy has gone to his head and now he hangs out with the offspring of families who have all served Voldemort, and we do not want you and Elizabeth follow the same way!
- 'And if you do not speak as if Harry was not there! " Harry hissed angrily. 'There is one thing I do not understand your behavior, so I'd be jealous! I have absolutely no reason to be jealous of Gryffindor stupid, arrogant and oblivious to spend their time to hand in her hair and make stupid jokes n 'amused that he and his troops. " The smirk he sent to his father was enough to complete it.
- "Shut up!" he shouted with extreme violence. 'How dare you speak on the TON of your brother, you are a Slytherin DIRT JEALOUS, IMMATURE, ARROGANT AND EVIL! "
- 'James's enough', intervened Remus, who stepped between the father and son. Harry was relieved to not have his wand with him, if that were the case, he could have done something wrong.
- 'James calm down, you go too far with Harry, his mother intervened, and Harry could not believe his eyes. The redhead had risen, and was placed next to Harry. His eyes were pleading, and it was evident that what had just said her husband was upset. Was the first time Harry saw his mother take his defense and he did not know what to think.
- 'Harry, go up to your room with Neville', his mother told him so. 'We will call you for dinner. Do not make too many stupid things in the meantime. "
Neville and Harry complied, and up the stairs, Harry thought he heard his father say, 'I know Lilis ... I lost my cool ...'. Harry did not want to hear more four to four and climbed the steps leading up to their rooms. Whether in Potter, Longbottom or Black, the five children had their rooms, the houses are large enough.
When he arrived in the room, Harry collapsed on the bed that was on the left. The room was large, the colors red and gold and contained two beds. Initially it was intended to twins Potter, but soon Ryan had demanded to have his room for him only and of course everyone had obeyed. Harry and Neville results found themselves together, not that it bothers them, far from it.
- 'It's going to Harry? " hesitantly asked his best friend, who had slumped in the chair that was in the corner.
Harry nodded but said nothing. Unwittingly, the intervention of his mother earlier he restored hope. Maybe his parents would realize that something was wrong in how they treated their eldest son. Maybe things could improve. Because Harry was in vain to pretend otherwise and act as if everything was fine, the attitude of his parents made him very badly. Not receive a single letter apart from bellowing for four months, while his brother was receiving weekly letters and parcels, it made him incredibly bad, it's reached a point that he hated. And all those months at Hogwarts, he had believed to have built a shell, but in front of his parents, he realized that the shell was perhaps not without flaws.
Lying on his bed, while leafing through a magazine Neville Quidditch, Harry remembered the past four months at Hogwarts, how he had changed in so little time. His Uncle Remus had warned on the eve of his departure to Hogwarts. They had a long conversation where Remus had told him how he had lived his first months at Hogwarts, and he had warned the school of witchcraft would greatly change. At the time, Harry had not really thought it was all focused on one goal: to make his parents proud by his performance and behavior, and perhaps even closer to his brother. But now he understood his lesson: his family was sunk, at least he thought, he was convinced the whole time at Hogwarts. What kind of parents did not hear from their children and send this kind of bellowing simply because they were divided in Slytherin?
HARRY POTTER JAMES, DO YOU CAN TELL ME WHAT THIS MEANS? Slytherin! I NEVER HAD SO ASHAMED OF ALL MY LIFE, A Potter in Slytherin, it's a shame, a scandal, a villain! Can you tell realize what this will mean for your brother and our family who has always fought against such people? YOU ARE REALLY THAT KID SALE WITH NO CONSIDERATION FOR THE POTTER HOUSE! IF You hope to stand out from your brother IS SUCCESSFUL! Shame on you to find you in such SALES AND VISCOUS FOURBI SNAKES! We are so ashamed of you!
Harry remembered with vividité of what he had then felt at that time. All eyes were on him, stared at him with much curiosity, even hostility. The worst was at the table of green and silver. Without exception, regarded him with a marked hostility, some were even angry. Harry had then shrunk in his seat, he waited five minutes for the attention turns away, then he quietly slipped in the direction of his first Potions class. But that day, clearly someone hated him up and gave him no respite.
- 'Wait Harry,' said a cold voice behind him while he was in the hallway leading to the dungeons.
Harry turned slowly, and faced his brother. It stood before him, eyes hard, his arms crossed on his chest. Harry felt even worse. He did not want his brother wants him.
- 'What is that there is Ryan? " he asked wearily.
- 'What happened Harry? " asked his brother approaching. 'How have you been distributed in Slytherin? " he asked incredulously.
- 'I do not know', confessed in a small voice Harry. 'I put the hat on my head, and he told me that I could be in any home, but I'd be better in Slytherin, I had a lot of ambition and ... "Harry paused He did not want to tell his brother what he was told the hat on him. It was not about whether positive.
- 'But in Slytherin! " Ryan exclaimed. 'You should be in Gryffindor, your place is there, you're a Potter! "
- 'It's not just like Gryffindor house,' said Harry, raising his voice. 'Look, Elizabeth is in Ravenclaw, is a very good home! And the other houses are also very good! "
- 'Is what you are saying that Slytherin is a good home? " Ryan asked, advancing towards his brother. 'How can you dare say that? Only future Death Eaters in there? All Slytherins go wrong, everyone knows! "
- 'Do not say that Ryan', replied Harry. 'This is not because during the last war our parents fought against many former Slytherins that the situation is the same today! You forget that Pettigrew was in Gryffindor, and yet it was a spy for Voldemort! And Snape was in Slytherin, yet it was a spy for Dumbledore! The world is not black or white, there is no good Gryffindors on one side and evil on the other Slytherins! "
Ryan looked at him in disbelief for several seconds and then he shook his head emphatically.
- 'I can not believe what I hear,' he said in a low voice. 'I honestly thought you would be distributed to Ravenclaw, with Elizabeth, because you love reading and stuff, and then you're very quiet, and Ravenclaw house as it was not so bad, even if it is not Gryffindor but ultimately, I feel that I do not know you at all, there is a personality in you that I do not know, and it scares me ', he confessed.
Harry trembled on hearing this. He knew that the last two years, he and his brother had greatly detached. Ryan spent all his time with his father, Sirius, Dumbledore Emmett and also from time to time. They spent almost no time together and had no common topic of conversation. But it's not for lack of trying, thought Harry bitterly. He tried to get closer to his brother, but was always rejected.
- 'This is nothing new that you do not really know me Ryan', 'said Harry, looking at his brother in the eye. "You never sought to know me, all you see is the attention that supports you because you have defeated Voldemort when you were a baby. You do not see people who are around you! "
Harry had not meant it to hurt his brother or give the impression that he was jealous, yet it was what kept her sister.
- 'So that's the bottom end of history', it flew into a rage. 'You're jealous! You wanted to be the one to beat Voldemort, being a survivor! Well sorry big brother but I'm the savior of the wizarding world, and try to steal the spotlight will not work! Whatever you do, you will always be the brother of Ryan Potter! "
Harry then felt an indescribable anger against his brother, as he had never felt. This frightened him, for he had never felt such feelings before. But there, in that moment, he wanted to do anything to erase the smile on the face of his brother to make him eat his words that he knows what that Ryan was to be treated like a nobody simply because he was the brother of someone famous.
From that day, the brothers had severed all relations friendly. Later, his two friends had told Harry that Ryan had come to see them to dissuade them from staying friends with his brother, he was wrong. Of course, Neville and Elizabeth had sent him walk, and since it was the war between the trio of gold and Ryan and his court. And of course the parents had taken advantage of the survivor.
But now, Harry caught himself hoping that this hellish situation could take another turn. It is hoped that eventually surprised his parents hated him that much, and could also have a normal life. He could not keep that hope to invade his soul.
Thus took place the end of the afternoon, the boys did not exchange a single word, while two lost in their own worlds.
Around eight o'clock, Remus knocked on their door, and when Neville invited him, he put his head in the opening.
- 'Boys dinner is ready,' he said of his soothing voice. Neville looked up from his magazine Quidditch and Harry went out of his thoughts. Remus gave him a smile of encouragement, and the two boys followed him into the kitchen where all the children were already.
- 'Where are your parents? " Remus asked Harry and Neville, while all settled next to Elizabeth, in front of Ryan and Emmett.
- 'They are talking with Professor Dumbledore in the library,' said her little thin voice of the brother of Elizabeth. Real spitting image of his father, Emmett Black followed in the footsteps of the old marauder, and was also the best friend of Ryan, despite their years of difference. Emmett desire but one thing was to join Ryan at Hogwarts and making jokes with Slytherins and Snape, or as Snivellus also called him.
Remus nodded and sat down. A tense silence reigned while, which was interrupted by the return of adults.
Harry looked up towards his mother and gave her a small smile. He really wanted this time things work.
But she ignored him completely, like other adults at the table. Neville's parents looked at him coldly, and his godfather gave him a dirty look. Harry felt his hopes quickly while flying. After thirty minutes, unable to endure any longer the repeated praise for his brother so strongly contrasted with the treatment of silence and contempt that he suffered, he rose, and without looking at anyone, he disappeared in the direction of his room.
The rest of the holiday does not go better. All the small tribe spent all the holidays in Black, as was the tradition. Harry often stood alone as Longbottom and Black as much as possible prevented their precious offspring to spend time with their best friend, and despite all their efforts and tantrums, Elisabeth and Neville could not succeed. Thus Harry spent most of his time in the library of Black, where nobody could find it. However, it was not a waste of time, quite the contrary.
Harry took advantage of the fact that at Grimmauld Place, he could do magic, despite the ban on children under 17 years, the fact that Black had long ago installed barriers that prevented the house the Department to detect when the children were magic. This proved very useful. First, the first two days he very quickly he had to do homework, then, he had delivered later in outside activities that he learned in school.
The library of Black was known to be one of the richest and most complete in England. Books of all kinds, on all areas of magic. Before coming to Hogwarts, Harry had repeatedly explored the library, and this is one of those books he had learned the fate Reducto.
During the holidays, Harry tried to learn in the field of defense against the forces of evil. The courses they had at Hogwarts, lavished by Professor Quirrell, a complete incompetent in the opinion of the trio of gold and Slytherins, were far from sufficient, and in anticipation of future meetings it would undoubtedly with his brother, Harry wanted to learn more.
He also found a highly interesting book, written by Milicent Black, an ancient ancestor of his godfather, who was called, an entry in the forces of evil. Harry found this book fascinating, as he explained that there was no separate classes spells good / bad luck, but that each lot could potentially be used for evil. What mattered was not using, but the intent. Even a simple Expelliarmus could be evil for the author, and in many ways Harry found himself in agreement. He devoured the book quickly, but decided, after asking Elizabeth, 'borrowing'. After all, no one would notice his absence. And then, when he was little, he once asked his sponsor if he could get books in the library and Sirius had agreed stating that it could take as many as he wanted. And as Elizabeth pointed out, his father never withdrew his consent. And Harry had to enjoy it.
Harry had also found other books, full of interesting spells, and so he spent the afternoon in the library complete, isolated from all, to train and learn new spells. At the end of the holidays, when it was a demonstration of what he had learned to his friends who had managed to escape the supervision of their parents, Neville remarked that Harry would definitely be the best student in first year of Hogwarts. And it was probable that he knew much more than some students of second and third years.
Harry also did research in books about magical creatures trying to find information on the three-headed dog that he had met at Hogwarts. He had talked about the next morning at his two friends, who were very intrigued. Until now Harry had found nothing, but he did not despair. There were several books on the subject he intended to borrow to read at Hogwarts.
In total, Harry carried shamelessly over fifteen books, with the intention to continue to train hard at Hogwarts. After the disappointment last Harry swore that he would become a better magician than his brother, and that he would prove to everyone what it was. He had this capacity he was convinced, and he would do everything to get stronger and stronger. And ultimately, their parents and all those who denigrated regret for having treated this way.
He avoided talking about it with friends, but he knew they were not fooled. The moment was undoubtedly the most painful was on Christmas morning, when Harry realized he had not received any gift from his parents or his sponsor. The only present he had had his best friends, Remus, and with surprise Blaise, Daphne and Tracey. He was surprised to receive anything from Slytherin friends, even if they had bought him something. This was perhaps not much, but it was significant to see which offered something or not. He even received a letter from Draco to wish him a good Christmas and tell him about his vacation.
Ultimately, these Christmas holidays were very revealing, and Harry once again counting the days before returning to Hogwarts.

Ryan looked at him in disbelief for several seconds and then he shook his head emphatically.
- 'I can not believe what I hear,' he said in a low voice.

Of course, Neville and Elizabeth had sent him walk, and since it was the war between the trio of gold and Ryan and his court. And of course the parents had taken advantage of the survivor.
But now, Harry caught himself hoping that this hellish situation could take another turn. It is hoped that eventually surprised his parents hated him that much, and could also have a normal life. He could not keep that hope to invade his soul.
Thus took place the end of the afternoon, the boys did not exchange a single word, while two lost in their own worlds.
Around eight o'clock, Remus knocked on their door, and when Neville invited him, he put his head in the opening.
- 'Boys dinner is ready,' he said of his soothing voice. Neville looked up from his magazine Quidditch and Harry went out of his thoughts. Remus gave him a smile of encouragement, and the two boys followed him into the kitchen where all the children were already.
- 'Where are your parents? " Remus asked Harry and Neville, while all settled next to Elizabeth, in front of Ryan and Emmett.
- 'They are talking with Professor Dumbledore in the library,' said her little thin voice of the brother of Elizabeth. Real spitting image of his father, Emmett Black followed in the footsteps of the old marauder, and was also the best friend of Ryan, despite their years of difference. Emmett desire but one thing was to join Ryan at Hogwarts and making jokes with Slytherins and Snape, or as Snivellus also called him.
Remus nodded and sat down. A tense silence reigned while, which was interrupted by the return of adults.
Harry looked up towards his mother and gave her a small smile. He really wanted this time things work.
But she ignored him completely, like other adults at the table. Neville's parents looked at him coldly, and his godfather gave him a dirty look. Harry felt his hopes quickly while flying. After thirty minutes, unable to endure any longer the repeated praise for his brother so strongly contrasted with the treatment of silence and contempt that he suffered, he rose, and without looking at anyone, he disappeared in the direction of his room.
The rest of the holiday does not go better. All the small tribe spent all the holidays in Black, as was the tradition. Harry often stood alone as Longbottom and Black as much as possible prevented their precious offspring to spend time with their best friend, and despite all their efforts and tantrums, Elisabeth and Neville could not succeed. Thus Harry spent most of his time in the library of Black, where nobody could find it. However, it was not a waste of time, quite the contrary.
Harry took advantage of the fact that at Grimmauld Place, he could do magic, despite the ban on children under 17 years, the fact that Black had long ago installed barriers that prevented the house the Department to detect when the children were magic. This proved very useful. First, the first two days he very quickly he had to do homework, then, he had delivered later in outside activities that he learned in school.
The library of Black was known to be one of the richest and most complete in England. Books of all kinds, on all areas of magic. Before coming to Hogwarts, Harry had repeatedly explored the library, and this is one of those books he had learned the fate Reducto.
During the holidays, Harry tried to learn in the field of defense against the forces of evil. The courses they had at Hogwarts, lavished by Professor Quirrell, a complete incompetent in the opinion of the trio of gold and Slytherins, were far from sufficient, and in anticipation of future meetings it would undoubtedly with his brother, Harry wanted to learn more.
He also found a highly interesting book, written by Milicent Black, an ancient ancestor of his godfather, who was called, an entry in the forces of evil. Harry found this book fascinating, as he explained that there was no separate classes spells good / bad luck, but that each lot could potentially be used for evil. What mattered was not using, but the intent. Even a simple Expelliarmus could be evil for the author, and in many ways Harry found himself in agreement. He devoured the book quickly, but decided, after asking Elizabeth, 'borrowing'. After all, no one would notice his absence. And then, when he was little, he once asked his sponsor if he could get books in the library and Sirius had agreed stating that it could take as many as he wanted. And as Elizabeth pointed out, his father never withdrew his consent. And Harry had to enjoy it.
Harry had also found other books, full of interesting spells, and so he spent the afternoon in the library complete, isolated from all, to train and learn new spells. At the end of the holidays, when it was a demonstration of what he had learned to his friends who had managed to escape the supervision of their parents, Neville remarked that Harry would definitely be the best student in first year of Hogwarts. And it was probable that he knew much more than some students of second and third years.
Harry also did research in books about magical creatures trying to find information on the three-headed dog that he had met at Hogwarts. He had talked about the next morning at his two friends, who were very intrigued. Until now Harry had found nothing, but he did not despair. There were several books on the subject he intended to borrow to read at Hogwarts.
In total, Harry carried shamelessly over fifteen books, with the intention to continue to train hard at Hogwarts. After the disappointment last Harry swore that he would become a better magician than his brother, and that he would prove to everyone what it was. He had this capacity he was convinced, and he would do everything to get stronger and stronger. And ultimately, their parents and all those who denigrated regret for having treated this way.
He avoided talking about it with friends, but he knew they were not fooled. The moment was undoubtedly the most painful was on Christmas morning, when Harry realized he had not received any gift from his parents or his sponsor. The only present he had had his best friends, Remus, and with surprise Blaise, Daphne and Tracey. He was surprised to receive anything from Slytherin friends, even if they had bought him something. This was perhaps not much, but it was significant to see which offered something or not. He even received a letter from Draco to wish him a good Christmas and tell him about his vacation.
Ultimately, these Christmas holidays were very revealing, and Harry once again counting the days before returning to Hogwarts.
