Very nice. I suppose I should be surprised that Dumbledore didn't try to tell him about the prophecy, which would actually have had a chance of convincing Harry but I'm not.
I am surprised though that Dumbledore didn't get the Dursleys to sign the transfer papers, and that it didn't ocur to Harry that getting the Dursleys to sign whatever Dumbledore wanted would be very easy, even without using magic.
Also why didn't Harry put up more resistance to the idea, either declaring he won't go - if he's kicked out of Xavier he'll just go to the local school or trying to negotiate with the headmaster for some compromise with the headmaster's stated objectives - forex. offering to agree to get a magical tutor to study while he goes to Xavier, or attempting to convince Dumbledore he already has the needed control, etc...
I look forward to the next chapter.Elementary Calculations

God, I felt so bad for Harry, you did a wonderful expression of his reaction. I can only imagine how I'd feel if someone transferred me out my university against my wishes.
He should try to keep up with the Xavier Academy, that would be in character. I don't know if calling Dumbledore out straight away would work, he's read about his reputation. Expect projects of Dumbledore to fail in future though, sapping his power base a little.Elementary Calculations

I think Dumb-as-a-door just made himself an enemy for life. Messing with Harry in this manner was probable one of the worse thing he could have done.
It will be very interesting to see how Harry reacts when he gets to Hogwarts.
Right now it looks like Harry will be a snake, or a raven. What do you think?
On to the next chapter...

Well,
Now ABerforth, won't be lonely with his reputation for having had un-natural relations with a goat.
By the time your Harry is thru with him, Albus will be renounded for apparently having tried to have intimate relations with a Hippogriff, and THEN not having been able to find the right oriface!Elementary Calculations

Very nice! I like that this Harry is pro-active and not swallowing the BS without question the way he is portrayed in canon. Hell, would he really have not read any books during the month between Hagrid's appearance and the train ride the way JKR wrote it? This Harry is going to turn Hogwarts on its ear.
Keep it up!!
