"We shall see you next Christmas, and remember your Occlumency Harry, it is strong enough but even the strongest armor has a weakness." Dr. Fate said patting him on his shoulder, before stepping back to allow the rest to bid him farewell. John Stewart and Kat walked to him, and Kat kneeled down and gave him a hug. "Always practice your meditation, and remember, the steel is only as strong as the mind." She said. Clark pushed them and gently grabbed him on the neck with his elbow and gave him the superman farewell, a noogie. "Take care Harry, call me if you need help and I'll be there faster than a speeding bullet." He said joking.
Bruce kneeled down and looked at his eyes and said softly "Always wear the earpiece when you go out of the classroom, I calibrated it to work against the E.M. field generated by your school. Stay safe and study hard, son" Harry nodded giving him a tight hug, and then he was picked up and hugged by a pair of Amazonian arms, with Amazonian strength.
"Muuum, can't breathe" Harry said, as he hugged his adoptive and now official Mother. "May Hera watch over you, my son, and let your name sake Apollo guide you" She whispered, then she leaned down and kissed his forehead and let him down gently to his feet.
He looked at Hermione and Daphne who had finished saying their goodbyes to their parents, looking at him with amusement. He just gave them his trademark smile and shrugged, he loved his friends and family and being called a momma's boy didn't bother him at all.
Soft but strong arms hugged him from behind and he felt a head land on the back of his. "Don't worry Kara, I can protect myself," he whispered, wrapping an arm over her hands touching his chest. "And if you ever need help, call me and I'll deal with it." He added.
"Just take care of yourself, ok, it's going to be boring inside the watchtower, just me and Jonn and he's not the talkative type." Kara said. Harry turned on her embrace and hugged her, he was going to miss her most of all. "I'll be fine and say hello to Wally for me." He grabbed her head, which was about 5 inches taller than his, and slowly pulled it down, giving a soft kiss on her forehead. They separated, with Kara's watery eyes watching him. He grinned at his friends assembled at the platform, gave them a final wave and stepped into the train, his trunk on his left hand and Hedwig inside her cage on his right.
Harry helped the two girls in storing their luggage and then turned to his own trunk and heaved it up on the rack. He sat down the opposite bench facing Hermione and Daphne. "So how did the rest of the summer go?" asked Harry, beginning the conversation and Hermione answered first. "It was fine, I just finished reading all the first year books!"
"I read some of the books but not all, transfiguration seems hard though, and potions is the easiest to read, it's so precise, what about you?" asked Daphne.
"I think Transfiguration and Charms are the easiest for me, and Divination the worst, I always day dream or fall asleep when I try to read someone' hand, or go to a meditative trance." He answered.
"Really? Divination's taught at third year though, are you advanced in other subjects as well?" Daphne asked, she was formulating a plan, and either answer of Harry could make it work.
"I'm ahead in Transfiguration and Charms, not so much in potions" Harry admitted.
"Well why don't I help you in potions while you tutor me in charms?" she asked, and Harry replied "I'll think about it, when I get a hang of the school and its lessons." Daphne pouted and then looked at him, blinking a few eye lashes.
Harry grinned and pinched her cheek and said "That won't work on me you know, you got nothing on Kara's puppy look" at this they both laughed, while Hermione was deep in thought.
"Harry your surname's Wayne right?" Hermione asked as she looked at Harry like he was a complicated puzzle.
"Yeah, from my adoptive father, Bruce Wayne" he replied.
"You mean you're that secretive Wayne heir? The one that the media has been looking for? No wonder mom was amused." Hermione said, looking at Harry oddly.
"But your mum, she's not really your real mom is she?" she asked hesitantly.
"No, they found me when I was five, but they were not married then, but Bruce adopted me straight off, and Diana, that's my mom's name had been taking care of me since. Their marriage only legalized what is already a family." Harry said. He really did not mind the questions, as he needed this establish their budding friendships.
Daphne was trying to follow the conversation, but couldn't and asked "Who's Bruce Wayne?"
Hermione immediately replied as she looked at her. "He is Harry's father, and the second richest man on the planet. He lives in Gotham city, in a humongous mansion." Daphne nodded at this and then looked at Harry as if assessing him.
She jokingly said "You know Harry, I am currently looking for a future husband."
Harry laughed as did Hermione. "I'm not looking for husbands, I like girls." Harry jokingly said, raising his eyebrows in an exaggerated fashion.
"I have one question though, how come both of you can do magic? I tried a simple levitation charm and got a letter from the Ministry of Magic that said that the next magic I perform would be a warning."
Harry did not know this, and he looked at Daphne for the answer.
Daphne replied "It's an old loophole actually; the ministry does not monitor the old magical families since they assume all magic spells cast within the home are made by the parent or adult. They place sensory wards on muggle homes though like yours. In Harry's case, I suspect they allow under age use of magic"
