Harry was walking on the road back to Hogwarts while smoking his cigarette/'Fluxie'. That was still in its development phase. Soon he will let it hit the open market. Giving him more funds that he can immediately spend on his experiments.
Once he reached the doors they swung wide open.
"Hello magical castle who is currently under shitty management" Harry said to himself but what he didn't expect was the slight buzz of magic that appeared for a second near him.
'Okay... I did not expect this. I knew the castle was somewhat sentient. But not to this extent... Interesting. Well more things to research. I'll add it to the list'
Harry went back to his room only for Hope to be waiting for him with an unamused expression.
"What I'm fine aren't I?"
"You almost ran into a High Class! How is that fine!?" Hope poked him on the chest. She was supposed to be his bodyguard. To take the hits for him and even die if necessary. How is she supposed to do that if he leaves her behind.
"Ahhh. But there lies the truth. 'Almost'. Since I didn't that means I am technically right. The best kind of 'right'."
"You are an crazy idiot" Hope slumped, she knew arguing with Harry was a waste of time.
"A brilliant one."
"...so your not even denying it"
"What sane person goes into Vampire territory to test new gear for fun?" Harry just answered back as he slumped into his very comfortable sofa.
...
"I'm going to go and study"
Hope lost another battle of words. No more she decided to preserve her sanity and not continue this conversation with the crazy person who blows up things for fun.
Harry looked confused 'What did i do?'
~ Restricted Section.
'I have you. I copied this already. Read that one. Oh I haven't got this one. Yoink!' Harry was walking through the Restricted Section like he was in a bookstore with an unlimited budget. Which is strangely accurate to his current situation.
'Okay. During the years the Potter Family has managed to copy about 50% of the Restricted Section. Back in those days it was hard to gain entry. And in the last 200 years it was even harder. Dumbledore Headmaster Diggle and his predecessor were very 'light' oriented people. Which is another way of saying they were controlling the country by withholding knowledge.
Everything remotely useful was thrown in the restricted section. Alchemy. Rituals. Some specific Rune Languages. Dark Magic. White Magic. Anything that could pose a threat to them was locked up. And access to the restricted section was difficult to get. Frankly only talented Seventh year olds can get access to it. And only in certain sections to help their Thesis.
The Potters having copied so much is already a big achievement. Especially since only students can get in here. And it took a lot of skill to break through the protective enchantments on the bookshelf's and books.
It takes a lot of knowledge in Runes, Enchanting and Arithmancy. Some even need knowledge to get past curses.
'Not everybody can be like me. After all i am a magical geni- Is that a Alchemy book. Yoink!'
Harry lost his train of thought as he continued to break the security enchantments left and right and copy one book after another.
'Call me the copy cat... That sounds stupid. I'll think of something better. But after I'm done copying the books there still comes the Blueprints for the Room. Oh that reminds me I need to go and get the Philosopher's Stone.'
Harry threw a few more books in his storage space.
'Now how do I avoid going through all those ridiculous traps. Decisions, decisions'

Astoria's days in Hogwarts
Another day, another new adventure.
Ever since she had arrived at Hogwarts Astoria has been having fun. Daphne and Tracy were showing her around the castle as they both explored as well.
This was so much better than staying with their Father. Daphne and her mum were always sad and crying. Now both are safe and somewhat happy. She was being taken care off. Harry was monitoring her health and giving her potions and pretty jewellery. Why he said to throw pretty jewellery at enemies she didn't know. (Gems enchanted to explode, when they were far enough away from Astoria)
She spend her days learning Transfiguration. which was difficult.
Especially for someone as young as her.
'But Harry makes it fun. I don't know why Daphy was complaining about. Or why she would be transfiguring matches into needles. She should just make clay into dolls like me.
Harry called this exercise Shaping. He also showed me something called Lego. I make blocks out of clay and use it to build things. I made a doll house!'
He also has Astoria do a lot of meditation training. Which is difficult for an adult to do. Let alone a hyperactive young child. But she has been making progress. Sometimes she would glance at a furry white fox that would appear in her dreams.
It has happened a few times. And each time she would see the fox just a tiny bit longer before it would disappear. Harry said that if she wants the curse to have no permanent effect on her she needs to become an Animagus. That means studying only Transfiguration and sometimes Potions to relax.
'I will do it. I will become an Animagus and make everybody proud. So that Mum and Daphy don't have to worry about me anymore and can enjoy their lives like they deserve.'
~ Nym (Don't call me that) Tonks
'Thank the Gods. Thank Merlin and Morgana for brining Harry to Hogwarts. This pasta is divine'
"Mowe" (More) Tonks said with her mouth full as she lifted her empty plate up
"Dora. Control yourself" Hope sighed as she saw the colourful girl grin at her
"Shut it wolfie. You are not the one who has had to endure 6 years of Hogwarts food. This is food made by the gods. How can I not stuff my face"
"By having a modicum of self control" Harry said with a calm face as he enjoyed his pasta mix
Tonks ignored him. Ever since she met Harry things have been chaotic for her. Her entire life had been turned upside down. And she realized exactly how small she was in the grand scheme of things. A tiny little witch. Barely above a muggle. In a world where A dragon god can destroy a country by sneezing.
It would be weird if she was still normal after learning all of that.
Now she had to unlearn everything she had studied for the past six years in Hogwarts. To get rid of any bad habits she might have picked up from wizards and witches. Then there was the physical training and studying Magecraft.
So much Math and Arithmancy... She avoided it for so long even though it would be helpful in her future career. She chose Runes and Care for magical creatures. But it finally caught up to her. She had no choice but to learn it now.
If she doesn't that means she will forever remain an easy target for the people in the Supernatural World. For her and her family to survive, they need the strength and the backing to do so. Their backing was Harry. And as they get stronger, Harry's ability to negotiate increases. Which in turn keeps them safer.
But that's not important right now. What is important is that delicious chocolate cake desert.
~ Familiars Pov
Few days later in the Room of Requirement.
Harry was working on something further away that was blocked off by walls and barriers. On the other side Hope was sitting in a sofa and was reading a book on Magecraft.
Around her feet the Familiars were laying and lazing around on the heated floor.
"Ahhh. Choosing to follow Harry was the best decision I made" Sabrina the Malabar Pit Viper sighed out from relaxation.
"I agree" Salazar nodded along.
"Me too!" Zeno chirped out
""Here. Here"" Nala and Kiara the lionesses called out
"Hmmm?" Sabrina turned to the last member of the group. Selena. The only one of them who was somewhat magical from the start.
"Selena? What's the matter?"
The snake in question only raised her head "Ahh. Sorry. Just had something on my mind"
Salazar sighed "Not again. Are you still concerned about your bloodline? Harry looked through all of the magical snakes he could find and you weren't a match for any of them. He said you didn't have to be bothered by it"
"But I'm weak. Far weaker than any magical snake for my age. Even you guys who were normal snakes caught up to me once you mutated with Harry's magic." the magical snake slumped "The only clue I have to my bloodline is my dark green scales. Which are just a bit darker than other snakes. Maybe Harry was right and I'm just a mutated new species that turned out wrong"
Smack
Sabrina smacked Selena over the head with her tail "Stop moping. Harry just said it was a possibility and not to let it get you down. The truth is even he doesn't know what you are. And he certainty doesn't care about it."
BOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMM
The entire room shook from a large explosion
'Speak of the Devil'
All of the Familiars had the same thought
CRASH!
Harry crashed partially through the wall that was strengthened and had a barrier on it. He was in a horizontal position with his Hex Sphere Barrier around him. He was halfway through the wall and was floating inside his sphere barrier.
"Hmmm, so that's what happens when you mix Erumpent Fluid and Nitroglycerin. Good to know"
Hope facepalmed as she looked at Harry " Isn't Erumpent Fluid also called Exploding Fluid. So you just randomly decided to mix two highly explosive, highly unstable materials?"
"Just why..."
"Well i was planning on making them into grenades to throw at enemies. But it still needs further research and tweaking until its usable." Harry turned off his barrier and dusted off his clothes. " But that's fine. It will eventually work out."
Harry shrugged as he walked over to Hope and plopped down on the sofa armrest. "Now what don't you understand from this?" He said as he patted her on the head
Hope shook her head from his antics but there was a smile on her face. "Well I'm confused about the combination of numbers for the Mid-Class spell Aqua..."
The room's peaceful atmosphere returned as the familiars laid down again to take a little nap
