June arrived, Harry, after a morning spa with Professor Filius, slowly makes his way toward the shower and cleans himself.
For the past month, Harry has been visiting McGonagall, Filius, and Snape. Even though he had beef with Professor Snape, he just had a talk with him and asks in a humble manner.
With that, he now have three teachers who took their time to teach and entertain him. With Prof. McGonagall he had a duel with her using only transfiguration. Filius, he trained in charms and how to employ them during duel. Snape is a completely different story altogether.
Prof. Snape views it as vengeance against James. He does everything in his arsenal to ingrain a very valuable lesson to Harry.
But, Harry, in his opinion, it is a very good and practical lesson. With their intense sparring, he slowly absorbed all he could from Snape lesson called 'bullying'. Snape didn't even bother to hold back.
Thankfully, Harry is magic resistant. If not, he would be a regular of the medical wing.
This can be seen as cheating, but so what? No one knows, so it is good. If 'Moody' is really Moody, he would also ask for his guidance. Sadly, a demented person impersonate him.
Walking toward the exam venue, Harry decided to attend it.
"Okay, class, as the end of the term is near, we are required to do the usual. But this time, some of us will not be attending the exam. This privilege is mostly for pur champions on both schools. But, Mr. Potter decided to join us today." Frowning, Harry stares at 'Moody' but decides to remain silent about it.
He just smiled at everyone who attended their exam and steel his facial muscles, not to twitch or make any form of movement.
He doesn't know what the end goal is, but hopefully, it is nothing but a jest from someone who is feeling happy to revive his master.
"Alright! Now, let us seated ourselves and prepare for our exam papers." The first subject Harry and the student attend is the theory examination on DADA in the morning and practical when someone finish their written exam.
For the afternoon and evening, they are History of the Wizarding World and Astrology. Harry also takes astrology as his subject, wanting to study the stars as his foundation before visiting the space war world in the future.
Staring down at his paper, he started to focus on it and forget about everything else.
'This is harder for the average students. Thankfully, I started to take my education seriously before I became a laughing stock again to the pureblood families.' Answering the questions, time tick by.
The room started to depressed by the combined frustration of all the students unconsciously emitting their magical energy.
Some emotions started to intrude the air if one can scent them. Harry, like some certain groups, write them easily and do a more personal taste answering, not wanting to recite the whole book.
He did all in his own understanding and words, implementing what he learned into his own words.
After 15 minutes, he rose from his chair coincidentally, Hermione, Draco, and Daphne, and two others rose and delivered their papers.
Leading them to the side, Prof. Moody made them cast a fourth level defense charm or anything while he stunned them.
They passed spectacularly.

('Moody' Pov)
When I first infiltrate Hogwart school after apprehending the real Alastor Mad Eye Moody, I attend Hogwart to prepare and guide the little sacrifice to my lord.
This mission is very important to me. It is my time to prove my worthiness to the Dark Lord. Watching Harry interact with his friends, I plan to use them to nudge him in the right direction.
Over the past few months, my plan has been on the right track, gaining firsthand information about the boy. Studying him, in and out. What I found is a bit disappointing.
I couldn't believe it. How can the Dark Lord fall in the hand of this boy? It is what I expected. He must have been felled by the blood traitor and his muggleborn wife.
Over the months, I am growing disappointing to see the suppose rival of the Dark Lord. I have been tested through time and time again, not to off the boy and be done with it. He is not worthy of the Dark Lord wand, but order is order, and the Dark Lord order is sacred.
But that changes when his name comes out. It is through my machinations of using his one of his many papers that I replicate his signed name and drop it in the Goblet of Fire.
That is also when I started doubting myself. Harry suddenly changed a complete ritual circle and withdrawn from his friends. At first, I am further disappointed when he reacts like that, thinking that he can not bear the pressure of his peers, but how wrong I am.
Watching him walking in that gait, seen only on the most powerful men. I started to feel something wrong. True to my feeling, his efficiency to combat the dragon and steal the golden egg. It was so effective that one would doubt whether he was 14 years old.
The way he used his magic, almost rival others and scarily enough, also shakes me. I don't know how he improved like that. Not only that, his appearance also started to change, and his body started to heal from something and catch up with his peers.
His magic also seems to be more elementalize, like a gathered mist creating a small damp around him. One could feel the thick magic around him. But then it vanish, which means two things. Either he control them, or he used a temporary potion.
But, during the second task, He managed to scare off the mermaids, which caused me to start doubting if Peter could deal with Harry. But after sending a warning, I am given a go-ahead to send him to the graveyard.
This means that the plan is in motion, and Peter must have some men accompanying him.
Watching him walk out confidently with his female friend, which I seem to miss when they amend their relationship.
I couldn't help but smile. 'Sooner, I will be free from this disgusting skin.'
End of Pov

Hadrian talks with Hermione on their way toward the great hall to have some break and discussion before they start their next subject.
"How's your exam, Harry?" She asks while her eyes scan the surroundings.
"Good. It seems I have been neglecting my education for the past three years when I sit this one." Shaking his head, Harry replies. "So, who you been searching for, Hermione. Your secret boyfriend?"
With a playful smirk, Harry asks, taking a bite from his sweet.
"Harry..." With a bashful expression, Hermione exclaimed, hitting him on the shoulder.
"Ahahah, what?" Smiling, he asks. "Don't be like that, Hermione. Fred or George, whoever is, will likely be in the exam venue."
"Harry!" This time, she exclaimed with a horrified expression. "Don't say that here, beside it's Fred I am dating."
"Oh, Fred, is it?" Turning his gaze away from his food, Harry looks at Hermione with a smirk. "You must remember, Hermione. Safety first."
After saying that, he ran away with Hermione stun sitting with her food approaching her mouth. A second later, her mind finally what her friend says. "Hadrian James Potter! Stay where you are!"
With a furious shout, she immediately chased behind him. "Ahahah, don't be like that, Hermione! It's just a suggestion of your best friend!"
With a deep flush on her face, she chased with .ore vigor planning pain and despair to her hateful friend. "Don't be in a hurry to create the mini Fred!"
Shouting at her, I laughed even harder when I saw Fred walk out from the corner with his twin. Hermione face turns red like dark blood.
George also started to fall on the floor and laugh while his brother turned a shade red staring at me hatefully.
"Oh, look, there's Fred!" With that final push, I stomp on the throttle full vanishing from their sight.
"Ahahahahaj!" George laugh even louder, causing Hermione to run away in embarrassment. She does have tears, but Harry doesn't know. Even if he knows, he will not care.
From the moment he wakes up his memories, he already views Hermione as his acquaintance first, then friend, and now, he sees her as his sister. That is what he always does to his sister in his previous life.
Now, Hermione, in his mind, is his real sister. Ron, he also treats him as an acquaintance. He doesn't mind anything done to him.
But back to Hermione, while she shed tears, she also smiles. At least she knows Harry teased her in a playful manner, albeit overwhelming. She also started to understand Harry seemed to be distancing himself as if he would vanish one day.
She is after all the most intelligent one among her friends. The way Harry talks when they had a talk, he seem to be preparing himself for something and not the Triwizard.
Something much more dangerous.
