I know that many people dislike this chapter, but believe me, it is important and teases a few future events and challanges.
[A/N: Remember, everyone will have a higher talent. MC will be even more absurd in some aspects. Harry was at the very focal point of magic reactivation and has Dumbles as private teacher, so naturally he is going to be VERY talented and strong.
And I just picked the most talented fighter/people from Harry's year and the one after, who we knwo from canon
Harry, Draco, Ginny, Hermione. Look at their wiki if you do not believe me, I literally looked at nearly every student of those two years we know.]
Harry Potter had a special life. It was by no means bad, but it was very exhausting. His new grandmother, Augusta Longbottom, had cared for him since his parents died when Voldemort had attacked his home. Urgh, how he hated this man. He was the pure evil.
Then, there was his new brother, Nevill Longbottom. He was fairly skilled in Duelling but excelled at Herbology. Harry would have loved to trade his talent with Nevill, but alas, it was his own talent that made his life difficult.
When Harry was just six years old, he seemed to burst with accidental magic if his emotions even did as much as fluctuate, like when he got a present. This attracted Dumbledore's attention and swosh, the man was his new ward, gone was his new family. But Dumbledore was amazed at his talent. If Harry concentrated, he was able to transfigure something with accidental magic alone. One time, when he had a nightmare and could not go to his grandmother, he accidentally created a wooden sphere out of his bedframe to protect himself.
Yes, his talent was terrifying, and Dumbledore began to train him when he just turned seven years old. At first, it was all theory. How do we cast spells? How does our world work? What is math and physic? What potions can heal and what potions can kill? All of that.
When Harry was nine, Dumbledore started teaching transfiguration and he was very harsh if Harry did not live up to his expectations. Honestly, Harry never saw Dumbledore as family, the just lived in the same house, though Dumbledore was often researching to support his new 'dream', whatever the old dream was.
As time passed, Harry realized that everyone thought him to be the next Dumbledore, prodigy, leader of the world, nobody saw him as a child, and he had no friends. And when he began showing his talent for combat, it became even worse. "The dominator!", "The superior prodigy!", "The boy who will win!". That was what everyone called him. He was never a "Friend" or "Family", like he wished, but alas, he wanted to help his late parents achieve their dream: peace. And everyone said that this was the correct way.
At ten, he was forced to cripple another boy in a duel, a twelve-year-old Bulgarian, because he was supposed to be a threat. That was when Harry realized something was wrong. It could not be his parents wish for him to cripple children, when they fought against Voldemort, a person that did that. He began to doubt and secretly researched in their library. Why was he never taught Occlumency? So that he would be malleable? He also read about Albus Dumbledore, his ward, and learned about the atrocities he committed and that he was the one stunting the magical world and now, he wanted to raise Harry as a new world leader, to supress the others and continue Dumbledores dream: peace through stagnation and regression.
But Harry did not want this. He began learning occlumency and he was a genius. He started focusing on his studies, so that in the future, he could be free from Dumbledore and back together with his brother and grandmother.

Recently, it was Harry's twelfth birthday. He became stronger and after he started going to school and learned with the other elite talents, he began to develop relationships with others. It was funny how easy it was if you were famous and talented. He even had a kind of girlfriend, Hermione Granger, another genius. And right now, they were in his personal tower, playing chess.
"Tell me, Harry, honestly, how strong are you right now?", Hermione asked, blushing because Harry hugged her.
Harry paused, looked at her and spoke, "I actually do not know. It has been a long time since I was able to fight someone on my level, since I have to hide it from the others. But in terms of G.W.I., probably rank V, or so."
"Wow, so you can do nearly every spell you know chantless?", Hermione asked, impressed. They could not talk about that since they had not seen each other in the last few months.
"Yes, pretty much. And it becomes harder and harder to hide it from Dumbledore. He wasn't the strongest wizard for nothing, hah…", Harry answered and sighed.
"What is wrong?"
"Dumbledore is planning again. In around two years he wants to do an exchange program with weaker countries and those that act like they had nothing. He wants me to crush or persuade a few students from Germany and Italy. He is always laughing when he speaks about it. 'Do they seriously think we would not know?' One of their teachers is a spy, commissioned to kill any real talent. I just hope that there wouldn't be any kind of genius. It would be great to have a real rival and maybe he could kill Dumbledore in the future. I am bound, as his student. What a shame. But let's continue out game, please.", Harry explained and hugged Hermione a bit more.
"Sure", Hermione smiled, and moved the rook.

-Sebastian-
Today was Friday, which meant it was his first elective class and staying true to his talent, Sebastian had chosen 'Extensive Battle Charms'. There were three students in total. Him, Alexander, and the girl that did not seem to like him, an annoying girl. Even right now, she was staring at him like she wanted to make a minced rotisserie out of him. It was honestly terrifying.
Their professor was an old man, looking like he went through a war, and turns out he actually did. He was an ex-war wizard that fought with Newt Scamander and others against Grindelwald. After Germany began rebuilding, he returned from the UK and started teaching children, because he had so much experience and wanted to share it.
"Well, little ones, yaaaawwwnn, I am so tired. You see, this class is all practical. Every Friday, you come here and learn spells. There is a small library and, in the meantime, I will go to my 6th and 7th year students and continue to research spells with them. The only thing you need to do,", the professor looked at them with a serious look on his face, "is show me one combination battle, where you fight as a group of three. Meaning, one support, one attacker and one person defending. Understood?", the professor asked.
"Yes.", the three answered, a bit unenthusiastic. They thought this would be a cool class, but the professor just let them do their own thing and ran away. After they had answered, the teacher turned and walked out of the classroom.
Everyone was a bit confused, what to do now but after a few seconds, Sebastian began: "Soo, we must work together, I guess. Would you like to introduce yourselves?"
"Sure.", Alexander answered and began introducing himself.
"I am Alexander Aarens. I am talented in transfiguration, potions, and body spells. At least that is what I was told. I also like to duel and to work out."
"Thank you, Alexander. I am Sebastian Roth. I am talented in charms and a bit more talented on combat spells. So far, I like reading, my family and I also like physics and math. Nice to meet you.", Sebastian introduced himself.
Alexander nodded at him, and they started looking at the girl, who gritted her teeth, but finally, she introduced herself too.
"I am Nadine Roth. I am talented in hunting and defensive combat. I like hunting.", she said in an annoyed tone.
"Clap, clap", Sebastian and Alexander clapped.
"I think we should first decide, on who is going to play which role. After that, we could search for fitting spells, but I am sure everyone of us would still be able to learn a few spells for themselves. I would like to be the supporter because I should be able to cast body support spells, healing spells and I guess I should focus on potions too. How does that sound?", Alexander began.
" "I am the attacker!" ", both Sebastiana and Nadine said simultaneously. Nadine even bared her teeth at Sebastian, while Sebastian looked at her annoyed.
"I am sure I am more talented than you in offense, you should have seen it in class.", Sebastian argued. He would not back down, because he needed to focus on offense. It was his biggest talent.
"But I am closer to them main family! Therefore, my family talent will become stronger than yours.", she shot back an idiotic argument. Even Alexander had to hold himself back from laughing out loud, but Sebastian didn't care, he laughed.
"A- are you stupid? You saw that I was able to fully hide my spells, even Lord Roth cannot do that. Professor Krieg told me, ahhahaha.", Sebastian said while laughing and wiping away a tear.
"Is that why you were so angry? Because I am better, and you know that my parents are squibs? You're so dumb, hahaha. You even said that you are talented in DEFENSIVE combat, ahaha."
Nadines face turned red like a tomato, and Alexander couldn't hold himself back anymore. Seeing a small girl throw a tantrum because of their parents and because she was inferior, as well as her turning red was just too funny.
"Hmpp, fine, do what you want. I am going to be better than you anyway. And then you have to beg me to teach you the defensive spells. Git.", Nadine said as she stomped away to the small library.
