Harry Potter: Shadows of Tomorrow

"Serpensortia" He roared and a snake appeared from his wand, Harry wanted to order it to strangle Malfoy but decided it'd be best if he keeps his Parslemouth ability a secret for now. He banished the snake with ease, he was getting bored so he disarmed Malfoy. He was preparing to leave when he heard his name called

"Well done Potter" Malfoy drawled "you've done so good, maybe your little tart will pet you head for you?"

Because Harrys back was facing Malfoy, Draco never saw the furious look that appeared on Harry's face. Ginny did, but before she could say anything Harry spun around and aimed his want at Draco. Without a word a fireball shot from the want at Draco, it narrowly missed but did manage to make Draco drop to the floor when his hair caught fire. Snape quickly put it out before he noticed the massive scorch mark on the wall behind him.

The students and both Professors were stunned, not only did Harry toy with Ron and Draco before beating them, he also wordlessly cast a spell that was more powerful than what most seventh years could manage. Ginny got on the platform tried to calm down Harry who was still pointing his wand at Malfoy, it took a while but she had managed to get him to lower his wand.

Snape along with everyone else felt rather relieved thanks to the leash that was Ginny Weasley, after dismissing everyone Ginny took Harry away. Soon Snape found himself meeting with the other head of houses and retelling what happened. Fortunately the headmaster was away on business so they could hopefully deal with it before he gets back. The heads met up in McGonagall's office when Snape retold the events of what happened.

'I knew I should of bet money on those idiots landing in the hospital wing' McGonagall thought when she saw Sprout sliding Flitwick a few sickles.

"Ignoring his extraordinary power" Snape continued "I was very curious to see the look on his face, I've seen that look before, the last person I saw with that look was the dark lord himself. It was pure rage" They were interrupted by a knock on the door, they were surprised to see Ginny Weasley enter by herself, she closed the door and walked forward.

"Sorry to interrupt Professors but I figured I should probably tell you what happened today"

"Professor Snape has already told us what happened" Flitwick spoke softly

"I know" Ginny took a breath "but I know you're all probably wondering what happened to Harry when he got angry."

"The thought had crossed our minds" McGonagall admitted "while you're here, where is Mr Potter?"

"Harry's gone to the quidditch pitch to cool off for a bit" Ginny explained "he said after that he had to go and do something important. He told me I could tell you if I wanted but I want to make it clear that the only reason I'm telling you this is because Harry and I trust you and don't expect anyone else outside of this room to know." After receiving four nods Ginny continued.

"Harry doesn't like to talk about certain things; one of those things is his past. His muggle relatives would beat him up daily, injuring and re-injuring him most of the time. They also made him sleep in a cupboard under the stairs, while his fat whale of a cousin had two whole bedrooms to himself. They gave him whatever clothes his cousin didn't wear anymore and they didn't care if he was injured or not as long as he did his chores" Ginny wiped a tear away before continuing

"All those years left Harry with some anger issues, he had to bottle and hide his anger and it's become a habit for him. Whenever he gets angry he hides it and locks it away"

"You're saying that's why when he does let go the results are massive?" Snape contemplated her words, it makes sense. Potter had to control his emotions, even more so once he had found his magical powers

"Yes" Ginny nodded "Harry calls it his 'dark half', he sort of divided himself into two parts. The regular happy Harry and the angry at the world Harry."

"Like a split personality?" Flitwick asked

"No" Ginny shook her head "Harry is a lot wiser than people give him credit for, he knows that everyone has good and bad parts. He's just more worried about his because he knows how powerful he is, he knows that it's just a part of him he needs to control. He does his very day best, he runs every morning and even writes in his journal to help with his anger. We even spend time each day just talking about how he feels. He tries to stay with me because he knows I'm the only one who can keep him calm." Ginny blushed a little.
