Chapter 18 - Man or Superman

Inside an abandoned classroom, spells of different varieties flew back and forth. From simple jinxes and hex one learns in their first year to relatively advanced spells maybe sixth and seventh years might know. As for the individuals who were throwing these spells back and forth like confetti.

Two twelves years olds were sweating heavily as their battle drew to a close fairly quickly. With her draping blonde hair, she whips it up wacking the boy with messy black hair and emerald eyes. As he takes a half a step back she quickly disarms him, grinning that didn't last long as she found her wand in his hands.

"Shall we consider this another draw, Dear?"

"How?"

A familiar smirk crossed the boy's lips as his eyes glowed in amusement. "Well our magic isn't where it once was, I've been practicing wandlessly summoning small objects. Such as wands."

With a last groan of defeat, Daphne sat down in one of the few chairs still standing. Her small frown soon changed again as Harry rubbed her shoulders.

"Hon, why do you still wear glasses? I thought you mentioned that your sight was perfect now." Daphne asked since it had been bugging her since she saw him at the start of school.

A small sigh was heard in the relatively empty classroom, before he answered. "It's more of a prop for the moment so others won't notice any larger changes to myself. Besides, I and Dumbledore have been considering charming them."

Daphne just nodded as a memory came to mind when she and Harry went to the movies. It was a few years before everything went down and the Weasley's plot was discovered. However they went and saw a man who wore a blue suit and red cape flying about. While his identity was kept secret with some hair gel and glasses.

"So are you man or superman."

Harry let out a belly full of laughter, "It is a shame we have to wait for the show to be produced again. But who knew Daphne Greengrass the witch model enjoyed a mundane comic book hero."

"Well I am not the one who always looked at Wonder Woman arse."

"Hey, it is not my fault the cameras always seem to catch it. Even if it is a nice one."

"Just like they always catch the muscular males bare chests and muscular backs."

"Touche."

"Also, he reminds me of you a bit with your brooding, angst attitudes during your teen years, and not wanting to accept part of yourself. While yours is fame, his is clearly his alien heritage."

While Harry wanted to retort he just accepted her reasoning since he was man enough to admit it. He was indeed broody and a bit angst inducing expressially once Voldermort got himself a new body at the end of the tournament the first time around. There was also part of himself dying too, not that he realized that at the time.

"So, have you made any attempts at befriending a certain blonde raven." Daphne asked changing topics.

A deep sigh soon answered the question as Harry looked out the darkening window. "I keep looking for her without being obvious about it. Knowing that she is either already being bullied or will soon be."

"Harry you can't save everyone or rush things either. Just look at us being sent back. We got Slughorn as a teacher already. Well most do since you take potions with the headmaster. Not only that but the school began changing. Fights between the Slytherins and Gryffindors are lowering despite some older and certain ferret protests."

"I know," Harry let out a sad sigh as last time around there was so much unneeded suffering and deaths. While he did move on as he couldn't change it then but now he in the past and now could. All his regret and sadness returned making him want to run around trying to fix everything.

"Good, and you're lucky I may have invited a certain blonde to our study group that is happening in a few hours."

Daphne smiled at her rewards as Harry planted kisses across her cheeks and lips and hugged her tightly. She just wished her body was a bit older as she wondered how far he was willing to reward her.

----

While leaning next to the blackboard on the wall, Harry looked at his lover who was sitting down magically copied books. The books will disappear in a few hours but it will serve its uses for the time being.

"Dear, what is the first subject going to be?" Harry asked, realizing he didn't know what the goal of the first meeting was yet.

"We are going to start with charms and maybe towards the end we can practice the Patronus Charm. Thanks to your little show a few days ago, we can use it to 'learn' the spell." Daphne answered as Harry nodded.

"It would certainly be interesting to see young students casting the spell that many adults have trouble with. Well younger yet since I managed to teach a few last time around in our fifth year."

Both reborn teens shuttered at the memories of the pink toad and undersecretary for the Minister of Magic. As both pushed those thoughts aside it also reminded them they needed to do something about her. Just the when and how was currently escaping them for the moment as they don't have much of an opportunity yet.

"So onto a better topic, it's weird to be in our younger bodies again. I even learned a few things surprisingly already."

"Oh, did you forget how to do the lighting charm?" Daphne jokes.

"No, just adjust it since Dumbledore and I almost went blind when I casted when I returned. My magic was in such a flux for a couple weeks. I either overcharged or spent so much magic casting I would wear out in five minutes." Harry grumbled. "What I really was talking about was magical puberty to mundane puberty."

"Harry, you went through it and had three kids. How can you not know about that?"

He could only reply in the only way he knew, he shrugged. "It seems weird that when magicial go into puberty they age a tad faster than mundane so a fourteen or fifteen could pass off as a seventeen to twenty year old. Then our aging slows down considerably depending on our magical level."

"Yes, Harry I do know what you're talking about."

"That's the thing Daphne, last time around I aged like most mundane do. I didn't gain an older look. The book also mentioned that if the wizard or witch is strong than this could happen or if they were-"

"Malnourished, yes. You were always a bit short for your age and most assumed it was because of how magically powerful you were."

"That is another thing, while I was a tad underfed it shouldn't have been a problem. I should have also been able to see that students in higher and lower grades in the future suddenly growing like weeds. However everyone looks as if they aged the same as a mundane."

Daphne frowned at the information as that couldn't be right. She knew that most students that came through Hogwarts weren't magically strong. So Harry should have been able to see who is more powerful than others. It was weird seeing a seventeen year old looking Ronald Weasley following a thirteen year old Harry last time around. Suddenly an idea sprung forth in her mind.

"Didn't the Weasleys begin upping your potions around this year. Maybe that was it since your wolf was dying and potions were on your brains." Daphne suggested. "You didn't look a day over twenty five when you died Harry when you were fifty."

Harry quickly ran the thought through his hair and nodded as that could be the case. They probably didn't want to test it and even if he somehow magically did. He doubted his lovers would allow him to since there probably won't be a redo this time.

"Well now that mystery seems to be solved. Who did you invite for this group?"

Daphne just shook her head at his subject change again. "I invited Katie Bell from Gryffindor, Luna Lovegood and Penelope Clearwater from Ravenclaw. Don't ask how I got Clearwater to come. Susan Bones and Hannah Abbott from Hufflepuff." Harry just stared at her blankly at the mention of Neville's future wife. "Finally we have my friend Tracey from Slytherin."

"Daphne, just know this is serious, but are you building a woman only harem for yourself?"

Slapping his head, Daphne just glared at him but a hint of a smile could be seen. Which soon sent both of them laughing.

"No, but you are or most likely slept with them all at least once or more by the time we're done with Hogwarts. So don't blow your chance to get to 'know' them and their friends."

With luck being on his side for once, Susan came barreling through the door. She was followed by her long blonde haired friend which Harry had neutral feelings for. The last time he saw her, she was tied to the bedpost with Ginevra playing with her breast as Neville was flopping behind her.

Hannah was a twelve with little baby fat coating her cheeks as she was similar to Daphne and was a late bloomer. Her blonde hair reached down to her mid back with her which she tied into twin pigtails.

Following them in was Penelope the sixteen year old Ravenclaw perfect. She was fairly tall with curly blonde hair and dark brown eyes. Beside her was an eleven girl with silver eyes that looked around with a small dreamy look.

Finally brought up the end was a twelve year old with brown hair and eyes in green robes.

"So what's going on." she asked as all eyes landed on her.
