12 A Month

The next day Harry wakes up in my room and finds me next to my bed doing push ups on the floor, shirtless. This is my daily routine. 100 push ups, 100 sit ups, 100 squats, and a run around the manor. I push myself up and I look over at his bed and I see him looking at me or rather the scars on my chest.

"You know your scars don't make you a freak just like mine don't make me an impurity. That's how I got these" I gesture to my scars seeing as I have his attention "Much like you have scars from those who thought of you as a freak, which I assure you you are not, I got these from a man who thought that the only way to make my mother a 'Pure Angel' again was to remove her impurity. It just so happened that this man thought I was that impurity so he kidnapped me and he gave me these scars..."

"What happened to the man" Harry asked quietly

I look away, only because I don't want Harry to see the ice in my eyes. "He... he is no longer able to bother me or mum..." my voice was like a whisper. I think Harry thinks I am haunted by the man or something as he comes over and hugs me. I return the hug, still not letting him see my face. Harry doesn't need to know the viciousness I hold, at least not yet.

Now before I began his magical treatment I took him to my families personal doctor to have him scanned and checked and have a record printed out and stored in the muggle world. He wasn't sure why I needed to do this til I explained it would help us so that he wouldn't have to go back to the Dursleys, then he was all for the check up. Our personal doctor was quite frankly appalled but I assure him the ones who did this will get theirs and that harry will be receiving the best medical help. He doesn't ask how these people would 'get theirs' he only wishes me and Harry good luck.

Snape is already at the house by the time we get back. He gives my mother a bunch of different potions in a case. Some nutritional potions he would need to take three times a day either before or after meals, skele-grow to grow and mend bones (though he said he will have to be here for that as he may need to rebreak or banish the bones before taking the potion), bruise salves for the bruises (obviously), another salve to help with the scarring, minor growth potion (to slowly get him to a proper size), and lastly was a few dreamless sleep that can only be given when the nightmares get too bad.

So began a month long of healing and treatment for Harry but I think he is getting better as the days go by after all he is getting love from me and my mother. He seems to enjoy having a elder brother who will help and guide him and a mother figure who will love him and give him a hug whenever he looks like he needs one.

I did learn a few things from Uncle Snape though, since he comes around every so often now to check on Harry's health. Like I asked if warding can make it so that one can practice magic at home do all wizards do it? To which he informed me that magic shouldn't be used before one reaches 11 for only at 11 does their core stabilize. So that is why those under 11 shouldn't do magic, other than accidental burst. We think the only reason I could freely practice while growing is due to my dragon bloodline having an effect on my core.

He also helps me and Harry study some potions. He was right in me having a nack for it. Harry is doing pretty good in the practice sessions too, at least he hasn't blown up or melted the cauldron. Snape also gave him permission to use the Black Iron Cauldron instead of the pewter one but only because 'he isn't too much of a dunderhead'. Snape also tells us we should practice Occlumency and gave us a book for it called Beginners Guide to Occlumency, it's basically a bunch of meditation techniques.

Harry is very quick at learning spells. It only takes him a couple tries, and a few demonstrations from me, to get it right. Of course I can only show him the spells I can do with a wand. I tell him magic is more about intent than anything and that makes things easier I guess. At least when you add a buttload of intent into turning a matchstick into a needle most of the time it works.

I also have talked my mom into proper punishments for Harry. When he calls himself a freak or gets down on himself I punish him. With a tickling charm. It is kinda hard to feel down on yourself if you can't stop giggling I have observed.

He really is doing better though. We took him shopping for proper clothes like we said we were. I introduced him to some of the others our own age who I hang out with. I showed him the dojo that I go to and he meet my sensei. He seems to like Ashley best, then again everyone loves Ashley. She just has this peppy big sister aura about her. An aura that says I am here for you and if anyone hurts you I will break their leg.

I also had to talk to Snape, who had a talk with Dumbledore, about getting some time out of school in September because I have to go to the National Junior Mixed Martial Arts Championship. I got permission but only if I can prove it would not effect my school work, which basically means getting good marks and finishing homework.

Despite getting his permission I still think I might hit him. After all I learned that he is the one who left Harry at the Dursleys. On their doorstep in the middle of the night in November! Who the hell leaves a baby on a doorstep on a November Night without even knocking! That's not to say that not knocking is the thing he did wrong no the whole damn thing is wrong!

Snape and me talk a bit every time he comes over. He told me about a man named Sirius Black. He was said to be the right hand man of the Dork Lord who betrayed the Potters. Personally I think there are holes in that story but whatever. I mean seriously if he was the Dork Lords minion he would have killed Harry not hand him over to Hagrid. But I will keep this to myself as I have no evidence, I'll also keep the Sirius Black betrayal from Harry until he is older.

Me and Harry got to meet Irma Pince too. She is the librarian of Hogwarts and Snapes mother. She changed her name after the death of her husband Tobias Snape and has been working at Hogwarts ever since. She seemed nice, a bit stern, but nice nonetheless. She does tend to have a bit of an obsession with the treatment of books though as proven when she saw Harry bent one of the pages instead of using a book mark.

I have also begun negotiations with a few companies that the Ragnok has consulted me in. One company, the one I choose and who Ragnok agree would more than likely make profit, is Toys of Raijin. Who I am discussing opening a branch in Hogsmeade. I am talking to them about making calculators work around magic as it will help with Arithmancy meaning plenty of young wizards and witches will want one. Another company Ragnok says I should invest in is Firebolt. He says their design is good and once it takes off it should be the best racing broom for a few years thus lots of money to be made.

I learned about a few persons of interest in Hogwarts as well such as the Twins Fred & George Weasley. You know some might take the advice and stay away from the Twin Terror Pranksters of Hogwarts but I for one take it as a challenge. After all Loki is my nickname and it would be such a shame to not live up to it. What I didn't know is while I had that thought a shiver ran down the backs of certain teachers.

I also invested some time reading about Ancient Runes. I figure with the right runes in the right sequence I can do all manner of interesting things. For starters I think I will make some mundane pranks more magical to use against those twins. Another shiver runs down certain peoples spines.

The books from the Addams vault were interesting to read. A good portion of the rituals are useless to me though. It is amazing how many rituals involve using them to give the body some creature features. Such as there is one ritual that would give you eyes that can see in the dark, but with Envy I can have that ability whenever I want. Another to give one the strength of a troll but once again with Envy I do not need it. So on and so forth. I did see one that would improve ones luck but it requires a lot of preparation and no way to actually quantify luck. I mean what if the ritual were to give you more bad luck instead of good luck. I guess I could use some of the rituals on Harry but then he could get sent to Azkaban for using 'Dark Rituals'.

Harry and I went to Gringotts to let him take the inheritance test. Of course he had Peverell and Gryffindor inheritance like I thought he would. I also tell him about the inheritances I got and I tell him I won't be challenging him for the Potter or Gryffindor vaults though he seems to insist we should share them but I talk him out of it saying I already have vaults and I have more than I will ever need. While there I got some more things for my little Envy who now enjoys being n the form of a Fwooper, I have to tell her not to sing in that form though.

I snuck into Knockturn Alley a few times and went to a place called Borgin and Burkes. It is amazing what kind of books and items you can buy here. I also found a little obscure wandshop I don't know the name of, it isn't that it didn't have a name it's just the sign was so corroded the letters were unreadable. There I had a second wand made for myself, one not bound by the trace. The shopkeeper was very eccentric and had all manner of weird combinations and ingredients. Such as he kept some phoenix feathers preserved in Ever Freezing Ice. My new wand is 13 inches made of ebony wood and the core is Thrice Fused Runespoor Fang (A fang from each head fused together) soaked in moon drip, I have absolutely no idea why he had the fang soaking in moon drip. The tip is sharper than a normal wand and the bottom looks like a three toed claw holding an orb. I will have to hide this one carefully though.

Finally the month is up and it is time for me and Harry to head to Kings Cross. Harry looks way better. For one he no longer looks like a stick with baggy clothes. No he has filled out well and his clothes fit now. He even began training with me in the mornings a week ago, though not at my level yet he can do 20 of each at least, so he is developing some muscle. He now has contacts instead of those bulky glasses and after some intense reassurance from me, my mother, my friends, hell even Snape, Harry is beginning to get more confidence in himself and is able to be himself. Can you believe they would punish him if he got even a single point of a better score than his cousin? Even if he only drew a picture better than that pig he would get punished. Well no more of that. Now he gets rewarded and praised for doing his best so he no longer has to hold back his intelligence.

All in all this month has been great bonding for me and him. He has even started refering to me as big brother once or twice and calls my mother mum, though that did irk Snape when he heard it granted he said nothing against it but I saw his eye twitch. Finally Kings Cross next we go to Hogwarts. This is but the first step to our Journey

Somewhere else in London

Luthor opened up an anonymous email and read through it before chuckling to himself "Damn Loki you are such a cunning vicious bastard! I am so glad you are my friend not my enemy!" Somewhere at a train station a boy with black hair sneezed. Elsewhere a family of three felt a cold chill down their spines.
