Hope and Helena were making some small talk, while Harry was running complex simulations using the Room of Innovation. He had his clone with him, both using Accelerated thought process and Parallel Thoughts as they were unconsciously pacing around the room.
"Harry has been rapidly improving over the past few months. Was this.. normal with people in your age. When wizards were stronger."
Helena shook her head "Somewhat. But that's not the real reason. In my day wizards had no choice to improve otherwise they would die. That feeling of danger motivated them to grow.
Harry is completely different. Thanks to the medical books and mind magic that I have been reading, I can better understand and explain it. It boils down to the fact that Harry is very young.
Children improve the fastest. Regardless whether its studies or sport. Thats because their minds and bodies are mailable. Harry pushes himself to the limit. With his body and his brain.
There is still so much that we don't know about the brain. But at the end of the day, its still a muscle in a way. The more you use it, the stronger or in this case the better it gets.
Harry runs extremely complex simulations in his head. Theories, plans, new potions, new enchantments. He constantly pushes the limit, causing his brain to adapt to the stress so to speak."
Hope nodded "The same with his magic. Just the process of purposefully draining his body from magic causes the air around to him to distort."
"And since the magic is released from his body and not via spells, he gains improvement in that regard as well. Just what you would expect from a guy who hates training."
"Its not that he is lazy, he is a workaholic the opposite of lazy. But he hates training his body with all his heart. And will find any way possible to cheat or lower the training time, but not lose results" Hope sighs. She recently overheard Harry as he was mumbling out loud about a Super Serum with the Elixir of Life as a base. Something about converting the life force into physical strength.
Helena frowned as she noticed something strange "Why doesn't he use rituals for his body then"
Hope chuckled " You know I asked him that exact same question. Harry doesn't have much knowledge on rituals as he doesn't view them as that important, but everybody knows there is a limit to how many rituals you can do. From what he knows, he theorised that every body has a different limit, their talent, their bloodline it mixes things up, usually those people can do more. So Harry said and I quote 'Why should I waste a ritual slot for my body when it can be reserved for my beautiful mind or my soul.'"
"Ahh. Yes, that sounds like him. So he is committed to strengthening his mind as much as possible." Helena nodded, the past few months she has known the boy she has gotten a good read on his personality.
"The stronger the mind or brain, the more calculations you can do, meaning stronger and more complex MageCraft Spells. Some items do help out a lot, like your mother's Diadem, but even with them, your own power is the key." Hope continued her explanation.
"Indeed. No mater what items or rituals you use, the base, the foundation is what allows those things to be effective. Just like my mother and her friends. Their items were not the things that made them strong and well known. It was their own power and their knowledge in their respective arts."
Suddenly both Harries froze and looked at each other.
Hope and Helena also stopped. It was obvious that one of the Harries got a good idea. Well good is a relative term. It was a good idea in Harry's mind, to anybody else it might as well be a disaster.
"You think its possible?" Harry asked his clone
"It will be difficult for sure. But hey we managed to recreate Hado #90." The clone answered with a smile.
"That's true" Harry nodded "But we need more processing power. A LOT more processing power!"
"Which means more clones. It always boils down to more clones" The Clone facepalmed. Since they had linked minds the clones were the original. Just the same personality with a tiny bit more independence. Rather than clones, they were just a split part of Harry.
"Anyway this will be a long term investment. No need to get heated up. It will take forever to gather the materials even if it works"
"But if it does..." the clone smiled
"If it does. Then we might be able to get a direct line to the top" Harry grinned
Hope and Helena were looking at them with strange expressions.
"Hey... why do I have a bad feeling about this" Helena asked Hope with a sweat drop.
Hope just facepalmed and sighed "Forget about this. I'm making a nuke shelter. No better yet look for a way to go to another dimension or realm. If Harry messes up, worst case he probably will blow up the planet"
Helena was surprised " Hope that's too much. Harry doesn't have that kind of power"
Hope just pointed at Harry "Does that look like the face of someone who would think even for a second before creating a black hole large enough to swallow the planet?"
Helena looked at the two Harries who had large grins and an excited expression.
"Another dimension it is then"
~ A week later.
On the edge of Hogwarts territory near the village. A group of aurors have arrived and were making their way to the Castle. Normally they would just floo travel into the fireplaces in the Castle. But Dumbledore locked them so nobody could travel into Hogwarts without the password.
So the aurors were forced to come to the castle on foot from Hogsmeade Village. Through the forest on large stairs made out of blocks of stone.
"Is this really a good idea" One of the aurors couldn't help but say " The boss told us not to antagonize Harry Potter"
Another man sighed "Nothing we can do about it. The Minister ordered this"
"What are you whispering over there!" Auror Dawlish called out. He was put in charge of this 'mission'. Its no suprise with how much ass kissing he does. "The Undersecretary ordered us to get this done as quickly as possible"
'Yeah, the Greengrass Family is Potter's side. Of course she and the Minister want to lower their reputation using any means.'
'And they didn't say it, but how can a girl attack several boys all at once.'
'They were in the girls bathroom for gods sake. Of course its their fault'
'This is going to blow up in the Minister's face.'
Most of the aurors knew this was going to end badly. But it is their job.
A few minutes later they meet with Hagrid the Keeper of Keys in Hogwarts. And the unofficial guard of the castle. He escorts guests in and out of the grounds.
"Oh. Din't see ya thre" Hagrid said in suprise " Do you have business at Hogwarts"
Dalwish stepped up and practically sneered "Yes. Take us to the Headmaster"

Tracy and Daphne were in the Library talking.
Tracy was saying how all the Slytherin boys were now afraid of Daphne and avoiding her. Some even shivered under her cold gaze.
~
"Do you think you will be in trouble?" Tracy says in a worried tone, one of those rare moments that she wasn't her usual bubbly self.
"No." Daphne replied confidently "Even if they wanted to do something they can't, because of Harry"
"Ahhh~ Will he protect you? That is so romantic" Tracy swooned and Daphne deadpanned at her
"Well not exactly. The reason I don't fear them is because there is nothing they could do. At the worst they will expel me from Hogwarts. And seeing as Harry has a copy of every book here and is a better teacher. I lose nothing.
And there is also the fact that Harry has specified that if any people from the Ministry were to come, he would deal with them. And he didn't say it in a protective way, more like a childish glee."
Tracy then realized "He is going to mess with them again isn't he?"
"He can't wait for that to happen. I think he just loves causing chaos. He is like a bully really, but instead of bullying a person, he is bullying Magical Britain."
"Hmm" Tracy had a thoughtful expression "You know I always just assumed it was... well you know, beneath him to mess with weaker people"
"Well, yes and no. From what I have seen he doesn't really care much for wizards because they are wasting their potential. But Harry is also extremely petty. And the British wizards tried to mess with him. So he is probably not going to stop anytime soon, I think at least he will try to tear down the Ministry before he stops."
Tracy's lip twitched "You call that petty?"
"For us its insanity, anarchy and a revolution. For him its pettiness. He is the type of guy that if you mess with him he will ruin your life. And since the Ministry is the ones who started it"
"He is going to burn it to the ground. Yeah, sounds like him."
"Pyro."
Tracy just nodded like a wise sage "Pyro"
Then all of a sudden Minerva approached them "Miss Greengrass, Miss Davis, you have been called to the headmasters office"
Tracy and Daphne looked at each other and sighed. This was going to be troublesome and a waste of time.
Daphne tapped a particular symbol on her bracelet and stood up to follow the Deputy Headmistress.
~
Dumbledore was sitting in his office and quietly fuming. The Aurors were here, and they didn't even bother to send him an owl in advance.
'This is my school. My Territory. Coming in here like this is an insult!'
This was also the Ministry trying for a small power play to see how much they can get away with. Since Dumbledore sealed off the floo network to Hogwarts and has been constantly making big moves. The Ministry decided to see what's the limit they can push.
He was quite angry with the Ministry, this was blatant disrespect towards him. 'Perhaps they need another reminder to know their place.'
The door opened. Minerva and the two girls walked in.
"Ahh, thank you Minerva" Dumbledore said with a kind smile and then looked at the two girls "Don't be nervous now, we are going to get this all sorted out"
Dawlish scoffed "Sorted out? There is nothing to sort out. They attacked ten pureblood children and caused serious harm. They are being arrested"
"And how exactly did those ten arrive in the girls bathroom where the two young ladies were?" Minerva said with a raised eyebrow
"Unimportant" Dawlish swung his hand " It is not my job to investigate. I only handle the arrests. They can argue their case in the Ministry once they are in custody"
"No" Daphne said simply suppressing the adults in the room.
"What?!" Dawlish
"I will not be going anywhere"
"And why is that?" Dumbledore said in a curious tone before he felt something ping on the wards and then sighed
"Don't toy with me girl. Both of you are being arrested right here! Right now!"
BOOOOOM
The doors flung open very fast and very loud. Everybody turned to see Harry Potter standing there looking at the Aurors.
"OR what?" He smiled at them "What will you do if they don't?"
Dawlish frowned but still carried on with his duties "Then we will have to resort to the use of force"
"Really?" He stepped in front of the girls, both unconsciously relaxing slightly "I'd like to see you try. Use force against me I mean" He grinned as magic gathered in his eyes lighting them up slightly. His wand was already in his hand.
"Are you planning to go against the Ministry!!!" Dawlish yelled out putting up a brave front.
"Oh using the Ministry's name are we. Then you don't mind if I use mine? Lets just get this over with quick and simple. I'll just declare a Blood Feud against you. You get your allies and I will get mine. The winner is the one who survives"
The aurors behind Dawlish paled. How did this escalate so quickly?! And an Blood Feud against Harry Potter is insanity. The boy can just buy off almost any wizard in the world. He doesn't even need to do anything. People will come to him, begging to fight in his place so they can get rewards later.
"Mr. Potter" Dumbledore cut in "I'm not sure you are aware, but you can't declare a Blood Feud on an Auror, their ally is the Ministry" Albus tried to calm the kid down. But on the inside he was excited to see where this would go. If they really go through with it, both of his enemies will weaken themselves.
"I'm well aware" Harry said in a calm tone, the smile never leaving his face "So what is your answer? Are you still going to attempt to arrest them or will you go back to the Ministry and clear up the misunderstanding saying there was a mix-up in orders"
This was blackmail. Very Blatant Blackmail.
Auror Dawlish's eyes were blood shoot. His veins were pulsing, his blood pressure through the roof, he was just about to open his mouth and insult the kid when...
"STOP TALKING!" A hurried voice barged into the room. "What are you idiots doing here!"
