Wayne Industries, London...
"Batsy I can't believe you have been dealing with Death Eaters and you didn't told me!" Sirius said as he entered Bruce's office, Cynthia, Bruce's assistant walked apologetically behind Sirius.
"I'm sorry sir I tried to stop him" She said to her boss
"It's ok Cynthia, don't worry about it" Bruce dismissed his assistant worries who quickly rushed out. "Sirius please come in, to what do I owe this pleasure?" Bruce smirked as he sarcastically said to his friend.
"You injured and made a Death Eater get arrested? How am I getting to know that just now" Sirius said
Bruce looked up from the papers he was working on and he said "I don't know what are you talking about" Bruce said but a small smirk told the pureblood wizard what he needed to know
"Come on dude, don't make me beg, Amelia just told me this morning before I went to the Wizengamot hearing, by the way he has been officially sentenced to six to eight years in Azkaban for endangering the lives of Hogwarts' students and attempting to cast an Unforgivable curse on school grounds, also I was on another hearing this time regarding the sentence of Marcus Flint who apparently tried to kill Harry, I'll ask about that in a moment, first you have to tell me, in full detail what was the expression of that asshole of Parkinson when you snapped his wand and punched his face" Sirius said with a glee.
"Well I don't know how serious that man is but his expression was of horror and shock as he saw his wand getting snapped with only my thumb exerting pressure into it" Bruce said to Sirius who began laughing his ass off.
"Man I'm so sad I missed that, I would have put it on the internet" Sirius said
"But you would be in trouble for violating the statute of secrecy" Bruce replied having read all of the laws of the Magical American continent, the British Wizarding World and the Asian Magicals.
"How could they know I broke it when none of the purebloods bigots know what the internet is, or a cellphone, or a video or anything new in muggle technology" Sirius chuckled at his comment.
"That's very true" Bruce replied
"So now... about the Marcus Flint incident, what do you know?" Sirius asked
"I met with Principal Dumbledore he told me that Marcus had in different occasions tried to intimidate Harry for being a muggleborn but this time the teen tried to murder him and claim his girlfriends as his and his brother" Bruce said informing Sirius of what was discussed at the PTA meeting.
"Simply by that reason? Damn fucking Junior Death Eater in the making" Sirius cursed at hearing that "I'm gonna make that boy never rise his wand against my godson ever again" Sirius said angrily.
"What was his sentence?" Bruce asked
"Since he is sixteen he will be placed in the minor security wing of Azkaban so when he turns seventeen, our legal age, he will receive another trial, this time I will try to ask for a heavier sentence against that little fucker" Sirius said cursing again, he really was pissed off that someone had tried to attack Harry, especially since he wasn't a muggleborn but a half-blood, not that anyone in the school knew that.
"I see, can you explain to me what are the Dead Eaters' goal?" Bruce asked knowing full well that he mispronounce the name of those guys.
"Death Eaters, are just a bunch of cowards in a skull mask that thought they were superior to Muggles just because they had magic, their numbers decreased when Moldyshorts went caput but I wouldn't be surprise that if they see even a hint of his return they would go out of their holes and return to their old ways" Sirius said
"They sound too much like Nazis or Klan members" Bruce said
"Yes, this is why I'm going to tell you this, I know about your code of Batman, but this guys aren't criminals that are driven by need to survive, these guys feel pleasure of making other people suffer, if you ever encounter one, don't hesitate and kill the bastard." Sirius said with all seriousness in his voice.
"I'll have that in mind." –Bruce replied.

After a few days of their meeting Harry had finally convinced Professor Dumbledore of making the movie night in the Great Hall after everyone had finished their dinner on a Saturday night.
"I'm still a little unsure Mr. Wayne of how the pureblooded students are going to react to this "movie night"" Professor Dumbledore said to Harry once in his office as Harry showed the poster he made, he wasn't an artist like Damian or Helena but he could defend himself on making handmade posters.
"Trust me professor, they will love the movie, besides Professor Lupin already told me that the upper years have already been introduced at Cinema History with the Lumière brothers and the Méliés films" Harry explained
"Ah yes, I knew full well those men" Dumbledore said as he reminisced of his younger years
"You did?" Harry asked shocked
"Yes, I lived in France for a time while I studied with my mentor and friend Nicholas Flammel, when I had a day off I decided to visit muggle France and went to a… what did they called it? Ah yes, a travelling circus, I had been before in magical circus so I naturally had curiosity of what the muggles did for fun, there I saw a big cartel that said "CINEMATOGRAPHE", I had never heard of such a word so I went in, inside the tent a white cloth hanged on the wall with several wooden chairs in front of it, I sat beside a couple a few years older than me and I waited for whatever thing this cinematographe was to start, then in front of us a train sped toward us, I nearly went for my wand to cast a protego around me and the friendly couple besides me but luckily no train came out, it was a simple projection they said, a trick of using many photographs to create the illusion of movement, I was impressed by the muggles' ingenious thinking, but the man of the friendly couple besides me was completely fascinated, he looked at the white cloth with the moving train with rapt attention, once the cinematographe was turned off the man, who I later learned his name was Georges and his wife Jeanne, talked with the man who set everything up, two brothers with the last name Lumière, apparently Georges wanted to buy the cinematographe but the brothers refused and he looked disappointed but not discouraged"
"Did you see them again?" Harry asked
"Yes, Georges invited me to some of his projections, I saw some of them actually and invested a little on his company, sadly a dark lord of the name Grindelwald started a war on the Wizarding world so I stopped my friendship with Georges and his wife in fear that they get injured during the magical conflict I was facing." Dumbledore said with a hint of sadness in his voice.
"What a great story professor, well I can say then that the movies you saw were the stepping stone for great things to come, just trust me and you'll see what I consider a national treasure of a movie" Harry smiled at the professor.

It was Saturday night and Harry was setting up his equipment, laptop and projector with the movie "Princess Bride" ready to show. The students, especially the muggleborns, were excited to watch the movie while the pureblooded ones were intrigued by it.
"Man you chose a great film" Neville said to his friend as they set the project.
"I wanted 'Back to the Future' but I thought that would confused everyone" Harry joked
"You made the right choice Roberts, the purebloods aren't that used to seeing films, my dad still thinks that Willy Wonka is real and he searches for those golden tickets" Neville joked as well
"I imagine what would Dumbledore do if I put that film later" Harry laughed knowing the headmaster's soft spot for the sweet delicacies. "By the way, thank you Iñigo for helping me setting this up" Harry said
"No worries Roberts" Neville shrugged "Though I don't get why your Buttercups aren't helping you" He added
"Because I wanted the movie to be a surprise, if they helped they would know, besides I wanted to spent time with my best friend, I feel like I haven't seen you in ages" Harry joked
"That's alright, it's not that bad, I get to spent time with Hannah" Neville said with a shy smile which made Harry more interest in what he was saying
"Are you two?" He asked
"Nothing official but I guess it could be said that we're boyfriend and girlfriend, I hope she sees it that way" Neville replied.
"Ask her, you don't lose anything" Harry replied
"You're right" Neville said
"Has Fezzik and Vizzini made the popcorns yet?" Harry asked Neville
"She's going to kill you when she learns that you called her Vizzini" Neville joked "But I believe they were getting help from the Weasley Twins, they want to make a good impression on the students with the 'muggle food'" Neville said. As the pair worked the professor of Muggle Studies, Charity Burbage, looked at them intrigued.
"So you're telling me that this device has stored many books and can work as a mirror?" She asked
"That's right professor, I think that you should interact with Professor Lupin, he has lived amongst the no-maj for many years" Harry said
"I beg your pardon? That's inconceivable! I don't interact with those of his kind" The professor said almost offended.
"What kind?" Harry and Neville asked
"Nothing" She said as she left.
"Weird woman" Neville said
"Tell me about it" Harry said then a smirk spread on his lips
"What?" Neville asked
"That's inconceivable!" Harry said making a funny voice that Neville recognized
"You keep using that word, I don't think it means what you think it means" Neville replied making a fake Spanish accent as both boys laughed.
After they set everything up they went to the Great Hall were the tables had been stored away leaving only rows of benches were many students were already sitting, Harry and Neville saw Draco, Susan and the Weasley twins giving everyone that entered the hall a popcorn bag.
"It was a great idea Harry
"To make a movie night, our father
"Will be jealous we got
"To see a movie before he did" The twins said which confused and annoyed the boys.
"Well I hope you enjoy it" Harry said as he grabbed the popcorn bag the twin gave to him, but just as he was about to eat it he sensed that his ring was warning him of something, there was something in his popcorn bag, so he simply and casually stumbled and dropped his bag scattering the he could hear a disappointment in the Twins who apparently put a prank potion in his popcorn.
"At least I hope I was the only target, I don't want anyone associating popcorns with Weasley's pranks" Harry thought
He and Neville grabbed their seats where Neville sat next to Hannah and Harry sat in the middle of Pansy and Hermione with Millie on his lap. In the row behind them was Rachel comfortably talking with Cho, Padma and Su. A few rows in front were Blaise and Fay, Tracey was actually talking with Justin, and Gregory and Vincent talked with the Patil Twins, Harry did not see Daphne even though he searched for her, he thought that she would enjoy the movie, after all he thought that she resembled Robin Wright in her character of Buttercup.
"I hope you like the movie my beautiful Buttercups" Harry said to the girls who looked at him confused of the nickname he gave them.
"Are we going to see that movie?" Hermione asked as a smile spread on her lips but Harry gently put a finger on her lips to prevent her from spilling the beans.
"Just watch" Harry said winking at her.
The Headmaster stood up from his throne and with his hand began to turn the torches down, everyone was looking with rapt attention at the white makeshift movie screen Harry and company had made for this event. Just then the 20th Century Fox logo came into view and after it the name "THE PRINCESS BRIDE" was shown everyone saw a weird cubic and colorful picture with a weird sounding tune that Harry was humming, then everyone saw a young boy, who muggleborns recognized as Fred Savage, playing with a weird stick and watching something moving in a weird box.
"What is he doing?" Pansy whispered to Harry
"He is playing a very old videogame" Harry said which the girl comically stared at him in confusion
The scene continued with the mother checking on her sick son and then the Peter Falk character entered the room giving the boy a present, the boy at first not liking the thought of getting a book something that earned the scorn of many Ravenclaws that were muttering amongst themselves.
"This is a special book, it's the same book my father used to read to me when I was sick, it's the same book I read to your father and now I'm gonna read it to you" Peter Falk said as he began to take his reading glasses off and sat on a chair
"Does it have sports in it?" Fred Savage asked
"Are you kidding me? Fencing, fighting, torture, revenge, giants, monsters, chases, escapes, true love, miracles" Peter Falk said, meanwhile Millie turned up to see Harry
"It has all of that?" She asked
"Yes, and more" Harry said kissing her forehead.
"Alright… The Princess Bride" Peter Falk began reading "Chapter One: Buttercup was raised on a small farm on the country of Florin, her favorite pastimes were riding the horse and tormenting the farm boy that worked there." During the actor's reading the scene transitioned into the open field and the picture of the home where Robin Wright and Cary Elwes lived. Many girls fawned over the handsome blonde man and many boys got their first crushes on the blonde actress.
Then the students were devastated when they heard about Westley's demise at the hands of the Dreaded Pirate Roberts but so far they were enjoying their first movie night. Many students compared Andre the Giant's character, the benevolent giant Fezzik, with Hogwarts' gamekeeper Hagrid. "They even look alike" Said one student amongst the crowd.
Though he was slightly offended by the comment Harry thought that it was true they were similar, they were massive people with hearts of gold.
Then it came the confrontation between the Man in Black against the Spanish swordsman Iñigo Montoya, oohhhs and ahhhh could be heard as the two men fenced around the rocky terrain.
As the fight continued the students grew impressed at the muggle fighting style, they were simply stunned and so captivated at that scene, but then The Man in Black disarmed Iñigo from his sword and the Spaniard man fell to his knees accepting his fate.
"Don't kill him, he's good!" Some students whispered
"Kill me quickly" Iñigo implored at the Man in Black
"I would sooner destroy a stain glass window than an artist like yourself. However, since I can't have you follow me either" And just as The Man in Black knocked out Iñigo, unconscious sighs of relief could be heard from the students.
Harry smirked as he also felt Pansy holding his arm tighter and Millie relaxing as they saw that the Spanish fencer lived to see another day.
Students cried in laughter on Vizzini's death scene, it was so random and sudden that they laughed at the hilarious way the man died. They also were shocked to see that Westley was the Man in Black all this time, revealing his identity as he rolled down a hill with the phrase "As you wish" as a proof of his identity. When Buttercup rolled down with him and fell in his arms and kissed Millie, Pansy and Hermione began a small competition for kissing Harry's lips which made the boy smile like, in Jason or Damian's words, an idiot.
As the movie continued the students were completely enchanted on the world the muggles made, some of them did not enjoyed the way Count Rugen tortured Westley while others said that it would have been quicker with a wand.
Then it came the scene in which Humperdink became enraged by Princess Buttercup's rejection. "I don't like where this is going" Millie said as she hugged Harry tighter.
"If you truly love each other, then you might have been truly happy" Prince Humperdink said to the tied Westley, Harry knew what was coming so he embraced his three girlfriends closer. "Not one couple in a century has that chance, not matter what the storybook says. So I think no man in a century will suffer as greatly as you will" On the screen Humperdink walked towards the torture machine and raised the level to the 50th level.
"Not to fifty!" Count Rugen yelled as the machine began to suck Westley's life force. Westley cried in agony as Humperdink smirked in satisfaction that his enemy was finally going to die. After intense suffering Westley died, his body remained motionless on the wood torture table, the entire Great Hall was in complete silence.
"WHAT?! THEY JUST KILLED THE HERO?!?! WHAT KIND OF SICK STORY IS THIS ONE?!?!?!" Harry heard the outrageous cries of the students. Harry feared of everyone leaving but was reassured when Iñigo and Fezzik went to look for the Man in Black's body and then to Miracle Max's home and the students stayed.
"He's dead, he can't talk" The voice of Iñigo said
"Woo hoo hoo, look who knows so much, heh?" Miracle Max said as he approached the body with a bellow. "Well, it's just so happens that your friend here is only mostly dead, there's a big difference between mostly dead and all dead" Miracle Max explained.
"Am I the only one who thinks that this Max, looks like professor Dumbledore?" Harry heard a muttering and he chuckled at that. "Look! He even gives candies" There was small laughter following the joke.
The rest of the movie went along just fine, with people relieved when Westley opened his eyes and laughing that he couldn't move his body, they were impressed how the Prince's men fled when they saw the burning Fezzik posing has the Dreaded Pirate Roberts, but most importantly almost everyone cried in happiness on the famous line Iñigo says to the man who killed his father.
"Offer me anything I ask for" Iñigo said to Rugen
"Anything you want" Rugen responded but then he swing his sword towards Iñigo who simply swatted it away and stabbed the older man with his sword.
"I want my father back you son of a bitch!" Iñigo said with pure hatred on his eyes as he stabbed deeper at the other man. The resounding cheers were extraordinary Harry simply couldn't believe it.
When the movie was drawing to its closure and Westley and Buttercup shared their true love kiss Harry could hear the enamored sighs of the female students who wished they had a love like that, luckily for the three girls at his arms they didn't had to wish for it as the three each gave a peck on Harry's lips making the boy blush red at his luck, but making another girl blush red in both embarrassment and angriness.
--
After the movie night Harry was satisfied with himself, the young wizards and witches had enjoyed the movie and he could even swear he heard some of them reciting either the "As you wish" line or the "Hello, my name is Iñigo Montoya, you killed my father, prepare to die" in the corridors while waving their wands like if they had a sword, he was so proud of his small accomplishment, introducing the Wizarding World to the cinema.
But just as he laid his head to rest his "Sherlock mind" began to show him words of the past interactions.
-Fay and Uncle Remus share some sort of facial features and I clearly saw a recent scar on Fay's arm just as thick as Uncle Remus facial scar.
-Uncle Remus almost always disappears on Full Moon nights, tomorrow is full moon and Fay and him looked kind of jumpy
-Uncle Remus has some sort of wolves in the Forbidden Forest that Hagrid knows about
-Professor Burbage said that she doesn't interact with those of his kind, she's a pureblood so that could mean she's a little bigoted, but according to upper years she has always shown fascination with Muggle culture so that can't be it.
"Think Harry, think" Harry thought to himself as he continue to see the clues in his min. "People fear of his kind… wolves in the forest… full moon... scars… kind… wolves… moon… UNCLE REMUS IS A WEREWOLF!" Harry deducted by himself.
"And tomorrow is full moon" He grinned at himself knowing full well that tomorrow he will be sneaking out of the castle once again.
