Discussion and Discovery 3

'Maybe he thought of rubbing the 'Prophecies are true' on me if I take it when Voldemort comes for me in the future,' thought Harry.

'Hmm, what to do? I don't want to waste my time but on the other hand, he might slip something that I can cash on,' were his main thoughts.

'Welp, I'm gonna listen to him and use Time Turner if I think this whole thing is useless,' concluded Harry and responded.

Dumbledore saw this as Harry listened to his suggestion and deeply thinking about it and smiled widely as everything seems to not have been lost from his hands.

"What do you think, my boy?" He prodded after some time.

"That's a good idea, Professor. But I'll ask my friends about it and decide whether to take it or not," said Harry and Dumbledore nodded satisfactorily.

"That is great, Harry. Speaking of friends, I heard you were not talking to Ms Granger and Mr Weasley, is it true?" Asked Dumbledore, taking the discussion further.

"Not exactly. They confronted me a week into the school year and I told them about my change of house and I can't spend time with them.

I don't think that is offensive, Professor. They stopped talking to me after that. I heard Hermione is in the library and Ron, I don't know where he is," said Harry, ticking his hands and shrugging his shoulders talking about Ron. Dumbledore can't say anything as Harry was clear with his arguments.

"Why did you do that, Harry?" He asked, unable to stop himself. He wanted Harry in Gryffindor and be the saviour of the Magical world.

But now he changed Houses and spoiled all his plans for him in the future. He had planned so well after all.

Harry would grow up into the perfect saviour the Magical World ever needed and become the Chosen One to defeat Tom.

He would be the one to lead the light after his victory against Tom and Dumbledore planned every step very clearly. Now this threw a big wrench in his plans.

It can't be helped. Though he is sure that the boy is not going on the dark path as Fawkes won't allow any dark person near, he needs to get a good grasp on him.

And then there is the matter of 'it' as well. His fingers trailed through his long beard as he went through the possible ways to bring it up.

"Can you be more specific, Professor?" Asked Harry, interrupting the old man's musings.

"Ah, yes. I am asking why did you change Houses? Gryffindor is where you belong, my boy," said Dumbledore with a small twinkle in his eyes. Harry smiled at him.

"It used to be, sir. When I first came, it was. When they supported me when I became the youngest Seeker, it was.

But now that House changed, Professor. You saw how they were last year, abandoning me and singling me without any support. That is not how the Noble House of Lions behave, sir.

I can understand Slytherin and Hufflepuff being angry. After all, if a Gryffindor is portrayed as their house's Heir it is not something that they are fans of and the Puffs are the first victims of petrification.

But instead of supporting me as a courageous Lion would do, they just abandoned me and subjected me to the same torment the other 2 houses put me through.

I don't think that gives anyone a good picture of them and as I personally suffered, I had enough. Even the Sorting Hat agrees with me, that's why it changed my House," explained Harry.

"What L-Heir Potter is saying is true, Headmaster. I saw a change in his core traits which made me change his House." supported Griff from his place.

"You know how the Founders enchanted me to do this," he added, emphasising on the Founders and Dumbledore nodded.

"Thank you for your assistance, Griff," he said with a smile and the Hat nodded. He did pick up on the slip of the Hat but didn't push it.

"How was Ravenclaw? The House of wise and quirkiest," he asked.

"Good, sir. I made 2 friends there. They are the ones you saw with me today,"

"Ms Patil and Mr Boot. Good students. Good. You should increase your friends, Harry. You don't know when they can be helpful," suggested Dumbledore and Harry nodded.

"If that's all, can I leave, Professor?" He asked, about to stand from his seat.

"I have a few more things to discuss, Harry," said Dumbledore. His face changed from a joyful one to a serious one.

"Yes," asked Harry, fed up with the man's diversions and mind games.
