Chapter XVIII: Burn to ashes.

The travel toward Professor Snape was a quiet one, but the tension in the air was evident. It doesn't help that Snape is Dumbledore's dog because of his deal that night so many years ago. But when we almost reached his office, he decided to talk. "Do you realize that this is nothing but a pointless endeavor?" the professor said with a notorious scoff in his voice.

"What do you mean Professor? I just want justice for my friend." I said with an 'innocent' expression.

"Please." The professor said with a sneer. "Even if you are a muggleborn, I know that you are not as ignorant to not know the weight behind the headmaster. So, enlighten me Hoshimura why would you try to do such a stupid thing?"

"I know that is unpolite to answer a question with another question, but tell me, Professor Snape, do you like bullies?" I said perfectly knowing that I was touching a nerve on him, but I don't care.

The usually stoic face twitched for a moment but maybe because of his mastery of occlumency, it didn't last long. "Certainly no, Hoshimura. But how is this related to this situation?"

"Everything Professor," I said without even thinking. "The reason why Professor Dumbledore intruded into Hermione's mind and tried into mine is that he thought that no one would notice. But he was wrong and once it happened even if he gave an "apology" he didn't mean it. And on top of all that he isn't even concerned about me exposing this to the authorities because he is "Albus Dumbledore" and thinks he will get scot-free. So basically, he is bullying me, and I don't like bullies, but you know that don't you? After all, you know what is currently happening in our house."

"If you know that this is pointless, why are you doing this?" The professor asked this time out of curiosity.

I slightly smirked. "All due time professor."

Professor Snape frowned at my answer, but he knew my personality from our short interaction the last couple of months he decided to drop it for the moment as he knows that is useless trying to make me give a clear answer.

In no time we reached the Professor's office and even if it was not the first time I was there, it gives me cringe as his office screamed like a third-rate villain. Seriously no wonder why Harry in the canon thought that he was evil… also it didn't help that the professor in question berated him at any given chance. But continuing with was important the professor reached his fireplace.

"Department Of Magical Law Enforcement." Said Professor Snape while throwing what I assume is floo powder making the fireplace burn in green-colored fire.

"Professor Snape why in Merlin's name are you calling this late? Is everything right?" A female voice came out of the fireplace.

'So in this world, you don't have to put your head in the fireplace to communicate with the other side. It works more like a phone call then.' I thought to myself.

"Nothing of much importance," said the professor "Just a petulant student, who wants to submit a formal complaint to one member of the professorate"

"What now?" Said tiredly. "Last time, it was a pretentious teen complaining about being attacked by venomous tentacula, while he clearly was trying to steal some of it and tried to sue the sweet Professor Pomfrey. Who this time is the unfortunate Professor this time?"

'Is this a common occurrence? Well, this school is full of people from "prominent" families so it's not unbelievable that this happens.'

"Hoshimura." Said Snape snapping me out of my inner monologue. "You do the explanation."

I nodded at his words. "Good evening mam, my name is Yozora Hoshimura, and I want to make a formal complaint against, Hogwarts Headmaster, Albus Dumbledore," I said in a respectful tone.

"…" The woman on the other side.

"…" Me

"…"

"…"

"Hello?"

The woman seems to snap out of her surprise and started talking once again. "Sorry, Mr. Hoshimura, My name is Amelia Bones Head of the Magical Law Enforcement." The now-identified Amelia Bones introduced herself. "Can you explain why in Morgana's name, want to make a formal complaint to Professor Dumbledore, let me tell you that this is not a small matter if you are making this for a petty reason you will face serious repercussions?" Said Madam Bones in a stern tone.

More than favoritism directed to Dumbledore it was more a mix of concern and annoyance since she knows that the outcome of this would be anything but good, so I decided to be as polite as possible. "I assure you Madam Bones, that my reason for going to this length is not out of pettiness since I wouldn't dare to waste your valuable time, but the situation in hand doesn't let me put this matter at rest. After all who could have thought that the renowned Professor Dumbledore would be capable of using Legilimency on not one but two underaged students including me."

After my statement silence permeated the room as Professor Snape acted as if he wasn't there and neither I nor Madam Bones uttered a single word. I couldn't see her face but I didn't have to be a psychic to know what she was thinking.

"This is a serious accusation Mr. Hoshimura. The use of Legilimency is strictly regulated, and even if Dumbledore is registered as a Legilimens using it towards a student is a grave crime if proven." Said Madam Bones breaking the silence. "So, Mr. Hoshimura I am sure that I don't have to explain to you the implications behind this. Accusing Dumbledore, a highly estimated person in our community will have a great backlash toward your future, so I ask you Mr. Hoshimura before you make this a bigger problem, do you really want to continue with this?"

I smirked at Madam Bones' words. "Believe me when I say that I am fully conscious of what my future can become after this, but I will not stand for this kind of action, no matter who it is. So please Madam Bones proceed with anything necessary, so my case makes it to the Wizengamot."

She made a pregnant pause before answering. "All right Mr. Hoshimura, I will process your case, a letter will be sent to you once the date of the hearing is set. I advise you to inform this situation to your legal guardian(s). In the case of them being muggles try to contact a legal firm so they can advise you."

I smiled upon hearing this. "Thank you for this Madam Bones, I will patiently wait till I receive the letter. Since it is late I think it would be for the best to end our conversation for the moment."

"Very well Mr. Hoshimura. But before cutting short this conversation I would like to give a little advice." Said Madam Bones. "Try to lay down before the hearing, you don't need more attention besides the one that you inevitably will get for this."

"I will take your advice to heart Madam Bones." 'Or not.' "So, if there are no remaining things to say, good night, Madam Bones."

"Good night Mr. Hoshimura." And with those words the green fire was banished, leaving behind only ashes.

"Thank you for your cooperation, Professor Snape, if you don't need anything from me I will retire to my bedroom," I said to the professor who only signaled the door making clear that I was dismissed. But once I was in front of the door, I remembered something, and an evil grin formed on my face. "Oh, before I leave professor, I must admit that I am surprised how well you managed to not berate Professor Dumbledore for his poor decision."

The professor in question just made a sneer. "Even if I don't approve of what Headmaster Dumbledore did, is not my place to take sides between both of you."

'Dumbass is your work as a professor to take care of your students, but I will ignore this for the moment.' "Oya, I think that we are having a little misunderstanding here Professor Snape," I said with a mocking tone. "While is kind of sad that you didn't defend me against Professor Dumbledore's actions, I am perfectly capable of taking care of myself, but the same can't be said about the rest of my peers."

"Watch your tone Hoshimura." Said the now annoyed Professor.

"But I mean it, Professor. After all, ordered every student to return to their houses when Professor Quirrell said that there was a troll in the castle, which for most of the student body would be the safest option. But if my memory doesn't serve me wrong, didn't the troll was spotted in the dungeon?" I said to the professor whose face darkened after realizing what I said is true.

"Hoshimura head to the dormitories in this very instant." The professor ordered me quite angrily.

"But thanks to your words I need to have a serious conversation with the headmaster."

"Very well Professor Snape. Good night."

.......................................…..

{So it's time, isn't it little Yozora?} Said gramps with a juvenile tone.

{Yup, I know that you are getting as bored as I am with just training.} I replied to gramps. Even if he is MUCH calmer than he was in his younger days, the old man still enjoys a good fight but sadly for both of us, this world is too weak for him.

{By the way, little Yozora when are we taking care of the parasite?}

{After Christmas, as much as I would like to do it right now, I need him for the moment.}

{You want the philosopher stone, don't you? The so-called holy grail of alchemist} Gramps said with some irony in his voice.

{Yup, transmutation any metal into gold and making a faulty life elixir were the only uses of the stone shown in the books, but I doubt that are its only uses.} 'I mean even if getting infinite gold is enticing and having something that would extend a person's life even if not perfect it's a very good study subject. And while I don't expect this philosopher stone to be on the level of Full Metal Alchemist, I think that is more useful than what people believe.}

{Changing the subject, how much are you going to explain to the little kids about your abilities?}

{Not much, even if I quite like them, it would be stupid on my part to tell everything.}

{And what about the old man?}

{For the moment I will let him be in his delusion that everything is under his control} and after saying that I could help but smirk. {I wonder what kind of face he will do, after finding that everything he worked for in his entire life ends up being meaningless by someone that he thought he could control.}

.............................................

November 9th of 1991 Quidditch Pitch

It's been over a week since the Halloween incident happened and it was not surprising that a was drowned with questions from all sides. For starters, they wanted to know how my talk with the ministry ended and I just told them that there would be a hearing, but the date was still to be set. They also wanted to know who the other person whose mind was invaded. I decided to tell the truth since she might be summoned to the hearing

The girl in question was distressed by the news, and I couldn't blame her I would be the same if someone had done the same thing when I was her age. So, I gave everyone an insurance, y made necklaces enchanted similar to my ring, that would protect them from someone trying to prove into their minds.

And lastly a little explanation of how I defeated the troll, I just told them that since a couple of years ago I have noticed that my physical strength was higher than other people, and with gramps teaching me martial arts my body became even stronger. And with the black keys, I told them that it was just an inherence that I got in Gringotts. Hermione already knew some of that, but the others were astonished when I revealed that. My friends for Slytherin asked why I didn't reveal this to the house members since this would make my standing on the house more bearable but I just said that I didn't like foot lickers and I wanted to wait the right time to announce it so everyone promised to keep the secret for the time being.

'But what is important now is that today is the first game of the Quidditch season, and Quirrellmort would attempt to kill Harry out of pettiness. But not only he would fail, he will become my first test subject.'

"Again, why is the sn- I mean Hoshimura here, isn't he supposed to cheer his team?" Said Ron without his usual hostility but old habits die hard.

"Come on ye' Ron, Yozora is a good guy, he also is Harry's friend so it's natural for him to be here," Hagrid said supporting me being here with his usual cheerful tone.

'This world doesn't deserve you Hagrid' I thought to myself praising the big guy's heart "Well Daphne doesn't like Quidditch, so she didn't want to come to the game, Tracey had some family matter to attend so she isn't in the castle and Blase is busy with other things. So, I didn't wanted to be alone with those guys with sticks buried on their asses."

"Language" Shouted Hermione reprimanding me.

"You know that I am right," I said rolling my eyes. "So that's why am here, besides is not like is mandatory to be in your house podium."

"Everyone mounts your brooms." Madam Hooch shouted and used her silver whistle to start the game.

And soon fifteen brooms raised from the ground into the sky.

At the start, I took some interest in the game as any Potterhead would do if they had the chance to see an actual Quidditch match, but soon it got repetitive and kind of boring since, in essence, this was a soccer game with extra steps.

Most parts of the game turned out like it was narrated in the books, with Lee Jordan making good commentaries but sadly most of them were shouted down by Professor McGonagall, a spoilsport if you ask me but since this has to be a "family-friendly" thing I can't blame her.

But soon enough uproar came into the Gryffindor stands after Flint blocked Harry on purpose making the boy in question hang from his broom.

"Send him off, ref! Red card! Red card!" Dean Thomas yelled.

'So, I wasn't the only one thinking about soccer.'

"This isn't soccer Dean" Ron reminded the other boy. "Besides what is a red card?"

I ignored them and watched as Harry regained his balance and stood on his broom. He looked quite pissed at what Flint did, but he focused on catching the snitch. And after chasing it for some time he got close to it, but suddenly his broom started to act wild.

"Dunno what Harry thinks he's doing," Hagrid mumbled as he stared at the boy through his binoculars. "If I didn't know better, I'd say he'd lost control of his broom… but he can't have…"

Now people realize that something was wrong as the broom moved erratically and now Harry was dangling from his broom, holding on with only one hand.

"Did something happen to it when Flint blocked him?" Finnegan asked-

"No, someone is interfering with his broom," At my statement, Hermione seized Hagrid's binoculars, but instead of looking up at Harry and started looking frantically at the crowd.

"I knew it!" Hermione gasped. "Snape-look."

Ron grabbed the binoculars from Hermione's hand and looked on the other side of the stands in Snape's direction who was looking at Harry while muttering something.

"He's doing something-jinxing the broom," said Hermione.

While I could correct her, I won't do it for two reasons, the first one being that I don't want to expose that Quirrell is the current vessel of Voldemort before Christmas since I need him alive for the moment. And the second one… I really want to see Hermione break the rules.

"What should we do?" Ron said in panic.

"Leave to us, Yozora come with me," Hermione said as she grabbed my hand dragging me from the place before Ron could mutter another word.

We ran across the crowd, but we were too far from his location, and the number of people present in the game didn't help either.

"Yozora, can you do the same as what you did when the troll attacked us?" Hermione asked wanting to reach Professor Snape's location.

I nodded at her words and grabbed her in a princess carry ignoring the girl's complaints. Moved to the least crowded part and used Sonido making cracks in the floor only leaving gusts of wind. And in no time, we were behind the stands where Quirrell and Snape are.

"You'd warned me." Said Hermione a little bit dizzy because she wasn't used to high-speed movements.

"No time to complain, whatever you want to do you must hurry. Harry doesn't have enough time."

She just nodded at my words without answering and ran behind the stands and positioned right behind Professor Snape. I on the other hand stood behind Quirrellmort.

Hermione took out her wand and pointed to the professor's coat and incanted the bluebell flames charm "Frigus Ignis." Setting the professor's coat in a beautiful blue fire.

"Irae sanguinis." I muttered pointing my wand towards Quirrellmort without Hermione noticing.

'Hope you enjoy the gift, twat' I said to myself.

"Aaaah" But my thoughts were interrupted by the professor screaming trying to put out the fire making Quirrellmort trip stopping his eye contact with Harry's broom.

I grabbed Hermione once more, leaving the mess behind.

..........................................…

After interrupting Quirrellmort or Snape in the eyes of Ron and Hermione everything went according to the canon, and when I saw everything, I mean EVERYTHING. How in the nine levels of hell had Harry caught the golden snitch with his mouth? I mean it's funny when I read it or see it in the movie but looking at it in real life is just weird. I mean, what kind of plot armor does he have to make it happen?

But enough of my ranting, currently we are in Hagrid's hut drinking a strong tea, not bad in my opinion but with some little changes, it could be a lot better.

"It was Snape," Ron explained to Harry. "Hermione, Hoshimura, and I saw him. He was cursing your broom, muttering something without taking his eyes off you."

'While I appreciate that you aren't calling me snake anymore, please don't include me in this' I thought to myself taking some ingredients from my pocket.

"Rubbish." Said Hagrid. "Why would Snape do something like that?"

While I was discretely adding things to the tea, I saw that the three of them were looking at each other with complicated expressions. 'Oh, so that did happen. They didn't tell me anything about it, now I am curious if was the book version or the movie one.'

"I found out something about him," Harry told Hagrid. "He tried to get past the three-headed dog at Halloween. It bit him. We think he was trying to steal whatever it's guarding."

"How do you know about Fluffy?" Hagrid asked very surprisedly.

"Fluffy?" The three kids said in unison.

"Yeah he is mine, I bought him off a Greek chappie I met in the pub last year. I lent him to Dumbledore to guard the…"

"Yes?" said Harry eagerly.

"Now, don't ask me anymore, That's top secret."

"But he is trying to steal it."

"Rubbish," said Hagrid again. "Snape is a Hogwarts teacher; he'd do nothing of the sort."

"So why did he just try and hill Harry?" said Hermione in quite an angry tone. "I know a jinx when I see one, Hagrid, I've read all about them! You've got to keep eye contact, and Snape wasn't blinking, Yozora and I saw him!"

'Again, don't drag me into this,' I thought as I sipped my tea. "Yeah, this is good."

"I'm telling you, you are wrong!" said Hagrid quite annoyed. "I don't know why Harry broom acted like that, but Snape wouldn't try and kill a student!"

'Please every year from now on almost every teacher will try to kill the boy, but not Snape at least' I snorted internally.

"Now listen to me, the four of you." 'I haven't said anything but whatever suits you "You are meddling in things that don't concern you. It's dangerous and you forget what it's guarding, that between Professor Dumbledore and Nicolas Flamel….."

"Aha! So you know something." Said, Harry.

Hagrid looks quite distressed at this. "I should not have said that."

Hello everyone, it's daddy *cough* *cough* I mean the author, I hope you enjoyed the chapter.

So now a hearing is scheduled against Dumb-ass-door, maybe be meaningless in the eyes of most people. But remember that not everything is what it seems. Also I know that I said that the MC doesn't give a f about the plot anymore but take note that one thing is not caring about the plot and other is to just go to do deep shit after Christmas plot-wise compared to the canon many of the events not only regarding the first book but the following ones. And some people asked me how much the Harry Potter arc will last and the answer the first year will end in about 4 to 5 more chapters, but they are going to be long ones, about 4 to 5 K words. And in general, I currently don't have the estimate regarding the other ones, but it would be a lot faster than the first one, but fear is not just for rushing the story and moving on to the next world, even if you don't believe me everything regarding Harry Potter is planned and some future events on the DXD world. I have a couple of ideas of what the next world (is not taking DXD into consideration) and for the time being the options are: My Hero Academia, Shaman King, The Second Coming Of Gluttony, Everyone Is a Returnee, One Piece or Naruto. Even if they are not chosen for the very next world I might add them to the list of missions. So, leave a comment about your opinion about this.

So with anything else to say, thanks for reading this chapter and if you like this ff so far, please leave a review it will help me a lot so more people start reading it. Also leave a comment with your thought about the chapter and maybe drop a stone or two hahaha(I am not a stoner btw)

See you again in the next chapter.

*The author leaves the place, to buy another energy drink to continue to write another chapter*
