Harry Potter: Shadows of Tomorrow

"I believe it is the work of Voldermort, it is my belief that he has a mental connection with you and occlumency can help you stop him from accessing your mind"

"Sorry sir…but I don't want or need to take occlumency lessons from you"

"But Harry…" Dumbledore was terrified

"As it stands I am more than sufficient in occlumency, you should know when I kicked you out of Ginny's head" Dumbledore paled at the memory "besides my scar doesn't hurt"

"Harry I insist you take those lessons" Dumbledore responded, believing that Harry was lying, after all there was no way that the great Albus Dumbledore could be wrong.

"And I insist that you drop the matter" Harry gave Dumbledore a victorious look "after all teaching anything related to the mind arts to will take up a lot of time and won't the ministry be curious as to why? And if they question me I might just let slip that you looked into Ginny's mind that one time, I'm pretty sure that's illegal and knowing the way the minister is right now I'm sure you'd be off to Azkaban without a trial"

Dumbledore trembled with rage, not only was his offer rejected but he was basically threatened with being arrested by a teenager. It seemed that no matter what he would do, Harry would have a counter to it.

"That is your final decision?" Dumbledore maintained a calm voice

"Yep" Was Harry's reply "if you'll excuse me, I forgot something upstairs, I'm sure you'll be gone by the time I come back down." Harry stood and quickly left, laughing internally at his victory.

Albus stood up, he placed a silencing charm around the room before he destroyed the furniture in a fit of rage, soon he calmed himself down and magically repaired it. He activated his grandfatherly look before returning back to the kitchen, he smiled at everyone when he noticed that Harry wasn't here. He looked to Ginny, who looked back at him. Everyone was distracted by the twins who were making a commotion at the other side of the room, he quickly looked into her mind.

When he looked in he was amazed, her defences had improved immensely, no doubt Harry was teaching her. In front of him was a huge mansion, surrounded by large gates and various house elves circling the perimeter. He saw dragons flying above the mansion along with Griffins and Hippogriffs, he knew that there was no way he could subtly get through without her knowing.

A cough was heard, Dumbledore looked around frantically, he couldn't see where it came from. He felt a tap on his shoulder, he turned around and in front of him was a smirking Harry Potter. The weird thing was he had his right leg pulled back as if he was going to kick a football. He quickly pushed his leg forward and his body back, the result was a foot straight between Dumbledore's legs.

Dumbledore had been pushed out of Ginny's mind, he was on the floor of the kitchen with his hands trying to alleviate some of the pain, he couldn't say anything but he couldn't stop himself from letting out a squeak in pain. He saw Ginny looking at him with a smug expression as Mrs Weasley helped him up. Harry chose that moment to enter the room.

"Alright professor?" Harry asked in an amused voice "do you need to go to the hospital?"

"I'm fine" Dumbledore coughed, it took him a few seconds but he stood up straight and waved away Mrs Weasleys concerns. He was still in pain but no way was he going to let Harry know that. "I was just leaving"

"Allow me to escort you out" Harry walked into the hallway and Dumbledore followed him to the door. As Dumbledore stepped out he looked to the amused Harry

"By the way Professor" Harry spoke "punish or tell on me and I'll tell on you" With that he closed the door on the Professor and walked back into the kitchen.

"What did he want?" Hermione asked

"Lemon drops" Harry shrugged

"Stop joking, what did he want?"

"Nunna" Harry replied

"Nunna?" Sirius asked

"Nunna her business" Ginny replied "now come on Harry let's go"

"You sure you have to go?" Sirius asked

"Oh yeah" Harry replied happily before he went away in the green flames of the fire place

"He's a bit excited about unwrapping his present" Ginny winked.

"What present?" Ron asked, Ginny sighed and wondered for the thousandth time if Ron had been dropped on his head as a child

"Me you dolt" Ginny replied before leaving

"Her?" Ron didn't understand

"Ron" Fred spoke first

"What our darling sister meant" George continued

"Was she was Harrys present"

"And he was going to unwrap her" Ron paled as he finally understood. Sirius and Remus snickered and Arthur hid a smile at Ron's face, Hermione's blushing and Molly's disapproving look.

A little while later the holidays were over and everyone returned to Hogwarts. At the trains station Harry saw Narcissa Malfoy talking with Draco, she looked at Harrys direction. Harry decided to have a little fun and winked at her, she blushed slightly before looking away, a fact that Draco did not fail to notice. Ginny and Harry found their own compartment as usual and they were enjoying themselves when Draco Malfoy opened their door.

"Oi Potter"

"Hello ferret" Harry smiled, Malfoy shivered a little at the memory

"Shut your mouth Potter"

"Or what?" Harry gave him an amused look "you going to tell your father on me? Or are you going to threaten me with your master? Not a good idea because as the head the most ancient and noble house of Potter I outrank your father on everything from the school board to social status. As for your master do you think he'd be happy with you advertising his existence?" Draco was about to reply but realised that Potter was right.
