Invisible-a Harry Potter FanFic

If the Headmaster thought things would change regarding the relationship between the Professors and his star student, he was not wrong, but at no point did he imagine how. He thought that the Professors would go out of their way to treat him specially, but that did not happen.

The various Professors rightly thought that if they treated him differently, he would become complacent and not mature as he should. It was clear to them that the treatment he had received from both his parents and the headmaster had already caused such a belief, as could be seen during the previous course, when he demonstrated his belief of being superior to everyone present, especially his brother whom he called a squib despite his excellent displays of magic.

So, after a general consensus it was decided that instead of giving him preferential treatment, he would be singled out by being asked to do more than average, not less, and at the same time being harsher on his mistakes. In other words, to treat him in a similar way to his brother. If after being so demanding he showed a definite improvement in his grades, they would continue until he was finally moved to a new grade. If not, they would continue to try to get him to show a definite improvement.

At the same time, when the subject of the other brother was discussed, it was agreed that they would continue to treat him the same and demand the same from him. The boy had talent, and what better way to help him than to demand as much from him as possible.

So it was very easy to see all the Professors treating the younger of the two brothers much more harshly than before, they now demanded twice as much from him as when they did not know his role in the future of the war... it was no longer enough for him to just get by, now he needed to do it perfectly.

At the same time, Harry also found himself with a lot of work to do, the news of his early exams had the teenager in a mild study frenzy... He had so much to study and learn that he found it almost impossible to keep up with the rest of his responsibilities... The making of the Wolfbane potion almost had to be put on hold. If it hadn't been for Ginna's sudden help, that surely would have been the case.

The seer had been watching her young student struggle with all of his responsibilities and barely be able to keep up with them and finally, she had no choice but to lend him a hand... at least, with some of his responsibilities like his potions.

Over the months she had known the boy she had come to admire him... ever since he was little everything had gone against him, his parents barely remembered his existence, and when they did it was to ridicule him. Despite everything, and despite his low self confidence (although it was gradually growing), the boy had turned out to be an exceptional young man. This was something his Professors had also noticed and encouraged in every way possible. In fact, she knew for a fact that more than one person thought that if they had to believe either of the two brothers, they would stick with the older one's version. It was a shame that those who should really realize it, would not see it until it was too late.

A gentle tap on her bedroom window interrupted the Professor's thoughts about her pupil. There, on the other side of the glass, was an owl with a letter that tried in every possible way to get her attention so that she would let it pass.

"Who could it be?" The young wizard was amazed as he looked at her. "All owls usually wait until breakfast to deliver the mail."

"Obviously from someone who prefers not to wait and has given the bird precise instructions. " His mentor answered, smiling slightly. " Go open the window for her, I don't think she'll leave until you not only read the letter, but also give her an answer."

The boy opened the window and the bird of prey flew to the nearest post where it perched and offered the envelope that was tied to its leg... It was a very beautiful owl, but it seemed that it was quite tired and that it was already quite old. So the letter was taken from it and it settled down to sleep and rest.

"It's from Remus... Why would Remus write me such an urgent letter that can't wait until breakfast?"

"If you don't open it, you won't know. " Ginna laughed amused.

"That's also true."

The boy opened the letter quickly, full of impatience to hear from his favorite uncle, but at the same time full of apprehension that something bad had happened to him. Then, when he read it, he felt just as nervous as before... Remus didn't clarify anything for him, on the contrary, he made him even more nervous than before.

'Harry,

We need to talk. I've discovered something important that we need to discuss.

Let's meet at the Three Broomsticks on Saturday when you visit Hogsmeade... The one before Halloween.

Please tell me if you can, it's very important.

Lupin'

[T/N: That seems suspicious, since when does Remus sign his letters off with Lupin instead of just Remus.]

"What does he want? " The woman asked, startling the boy.

"He wants to meet in Hogsmeade, the next time we go out."

"But you have exams on Halloween... I thought you were going to study all day and stay here."

"That was the plan."

"Why are you feeling doubtful?"

"He says he has something important to explain to me... And if he says it's important, it really is. That's why I'm hesitating. What should I do, Ginna?"

The woman looked thoughtful for a few moments, then looked at the letter with something like indecision, then, after a couple of minutes, she fixed her gaze on Harry and smiled.

"Go see him." She answered decisively. "You are more than prepared for your exams. In fact, I would say that you are overprepared. You have not seen him for two months and you've said that he would not invite you so close to your exams if it were not important. Besides, I am looking forward to meeting him."

Harry smiled and ran to get a quill and parchment to give his favorite uncle an affirmative answer, already wondering what he wanted to explain to him, while at the same time looking forward to the two weeks left to see him again.

The rest of the days until Hogsmeade Saturday arrived, Harry spent it with the same frenzy of study that he had had during the two months of the course. The exams were dangerously close, from his point of view, and he wanted to do his best. He was so absorbed in himself that on the Saturday before Halloween, he woke up without knowing what day it was. Although of course, his roommates made sure to remind him, with the general impatience and enthusiasm that reigned in the atmosphere.

Now more awake and in good spirits, he dressed as quickly as possible, while removing Night from his clothes, then, letting himself be carried away by the enthusiasm, he went down to breakfast with the rest, listening to them talk about what they thought they would see with the city and adding his 5 cents.

After breakfast, he approached his mentor who was watching him with an amused expression, and made a slight gesture for him to follow her.

"What time are you meeting Remus?"

"At lunchtime. He told me he'd rent a private area so we could talk." The boy replied. "You know what he wants to talk to me about, right?"

"Of course."

"Come on, tell me."

"No way... Our power is to help, not to satisfy curiosity. You'll find out in a few hours. And besides, if you've been able to wait two weeks, you can wait a few more hours."

The boy's expression was hilarious, at least for the psychic who laughed heartily. Harry was very mature, he had to be after the treatment he had received from his parents, but there were times like that when he acted like a child. It was good to see him act, even if it was only occasionally, more in accordance with his age. Shaking her head, she began to make her way towards the village, and to check if, for the first time, he would behave like a 13 year old teenager.

Maybe that was exactly why his mentor insisted, she practically dragged him to all the places that the boys of his age idolized. From a mandatory visit to Honeydukes to stock up on a large number of sweets, and they really bought a lot, going through the quality Quidditch supplies store, where Ginna was determined to buy him some protectors for when he played and ending up at Zonko's where, letting himself be overcome by the atmosphere (and maybe by his blood and friends) he bought some jokes, although he didn't know who he could play them on.

By the time lunchtime came, the boy had enjoyed his visit to Hogsmeade like never before. With a huge smile on his face, they both made their way to the Three Broomsticks, where Remus was supposed to be waiting for them. Ignoring the large number of students and Professors, the two of them went to Mrs. Rosmerta to ask about the werewolf and then headed to where she had told them to go.

The boy barely had time to get through the door when he found himself engulfed in a strong hug and thrown into the room. If it hadn't been for the fact that he already knew that Remus would be waiting for him, he would surely have been scared to death.

"Hey, Uncle Moony, nice to see you" He murmured trapped against the werewolf's chest.

"I'm glad to see you. " Remus laughed "Let me see you... You've grown quite a bit since I last saw you. I like the sloppiness, anything that carries a head and all."

"Don't overdo it! "Harry exclaimed, giving him a loving push. "Moony, let me introduce you to Ginna, my mentor. "He added, pointing at the psychic. "Ginna, this is Remus."

"Nice to meet you. "They both said at the same time.

"Good. What did you want to talk to me about Remus? It seemed important."

"It is. Let's sit down."

The three sat down and drank the butterbeers the werewolf had ordered prior to their arrival. When the three were seated and more or less relaxed the man leaned forward slightly and focused his gaze on the boy.

"I don't know if you know, but I've been researching your powers and abilities for a long time... I suppose you know that it's not very normal for so many abilities of this type to occur in a single person, right? " At his statement, he added. "Me neither... that's why I've been researching for the last two years."

"And what have you discovered?"

"Well... for centuries there have been people who have had some of your abilities, what remains unrecorded, except in some very rare and ancient manuscript, is that you are not the first wizard to develop so many strange abilities."

"Really?"

"No." The man repeated "There have been very few, true, and they can almost be counted on the fingers of one hand, but they did exist. The most important thing is that every time someone like that has appeared, there has been a very radical change in society. What these wizards are usually called, are mages."

"Mages? I've never heard that name before."

"It's not often used," Remus explained. "Normally they are known for a certain amount of time and then when another one comes along, they are usually forgotten. The last mage that existed was Merlin himself..."

"You have to be mistaken!"

"Of course not, do you think I would have said something to you if I hadn't confirmed it myself?"

"No but..."

"But nothing. Harry, you are a mage. I don't know what you will do in the future that will change society as we know it, but whatever it is, it will come. Nobody tells you to do it now or tomorrow... I'm just telling you what I've discovered, what you do with that information is up to you and yours alone."

[T/N: I don't want to be an ass but it feels like it would have been better if Harry didn't know about this, there is a risk of him becoming like Brian except deserved now. Would have been better if Remus only met up with Genna instead of Harry, now he will always have this pressure on him to make this great change instead of letting it happen naturally, the greatest leaders are born out of necessity, they are pushed into positions of power like the canon Harry, those who believe they are destined for great things usually buckle under the load of responsibility unless they have been prepared there whole life.
