Harry Potter: A Different Tale

"You were also supposed to learn table manner when you were a child" Harry replied "if you haven't remembered that then I'm not putting much hope in you remembering how to disarm. Now, we start on three. Get ready, one" The trio prepared "two, three"

The three simultaneously fired disarming spells at Harry, Harry ducked and dodged them and ran towards the three of them. They were surprised by the sudden change, they aimed their wands at Harry, prepared to fire again.

Harry grabbed Hermione's hand and aimed it at the other two, a spell shot from her wand and struck Adrian who landed on Ron and both of their wands flew out of their hands. Harry then kicked Hermione's legs out and she fell to the floor, losing her wand as well.

"What was that?!" Adrian demanded

"You three are slow" Harry said "you need to learn to think more quickly, I could've killed you all easily. You need to work on your speed and precision"

"You're too fast!" Ron objected

"Am I?" Harry's arm shot up in the air and fired two stunners at McGonagall, shock was on her face for a brief moment but she quickly raised her wand and blocked the first one and dodged the second one.

"Mr Potter! What are you doing?!" McGonagall demanded, Snape also had his wand out and from the look on his face it was obvious that he wanted to know as well.

"Proving a point" Harry looked back to the stunned trio "Professor McGonagall is old enough to be your grandmother and Snape is in his thirties and teaches classes that usually don't have anything to do with wands yet she blocked both stunners and Snape had his wand out quick enough to defend or attack. What's your excuse?"

"Well…we…" Hermione struggled to come up with an excuse

"Exactly" Harry continued "you three are a trio of spoilt brats who think you possess greatness, be glad that I'm showing you how wrong you are instead of a death eater"

"We're not spoiled!" Ron shouted "My family is poor! I have to share everything with my brothers and my sister!"

"Cry me a river" Harry said unsympathetically "you have a family, shelter and food. Forgive me if I don't have much pity because you have to share or can't afford the latest broomstick"

"Like you know what it's like!" Ron spat back

"I don't know what your life's been like" Harry replied "but even if I lived your life I would still be smart enough to remember that there's always someone who's had better and there's always someone who's had worse. Trust me, I've met people who would make you look like as spoilt as a Malfoy. Now get your worthless arses off the ground"

"You can't talk to us like that!" Adrian growled

"If I want to address you as an idiot or even the sugar plum fairy, then I will do so. Your options are to take it like a man, prove your worth the effort of addressing you with respect, make me stop or quit. If I was you then I'd go for either the first or last option, they're more reachable aims than the others. Now up or I will make you get up" The trio reluctantly got up

Harry set the trio on disarming, and if this was any indication of what teaching was like then he'd never teach again. Soon the lesson ended and Harry looked at the trio with a critical eye.

"Hmm, maybe now you'd at least be able to disarm a death eater….if he was blind….and distracted by a large noise" Harry said slowly

"Hey, would you stop being such an arse?!" Adrian demanded

"Can't, it's a full time job" Harry shrugged "in all fairness you three can disarm fairly decently now but you have a whole way to go, a very long way to go. In an actual fight you'd last about a minute if you're lucky"

"Like you've been in actual fights" Ron snorted

"Mr Weasley, Mr Potter has competed multiple times in the Japanese war duels" Snape reminded him "duels that are famously known for allowing the use of any spell, including the unforgivables. Needless to say Mr Potter was required to be at a higher level than you to avoid getting killed"

"Yeah but it's not like anyone actually tries to kill people in those duels" Adrian said

"My last duel I fought against a Japanese girl and boy" Harry said "the boy was fairly easy whilst the girl tried to cut my head off with a cutting curse, kill me a few times with the killing curse and then she tried to remove my head and legs with a sword. If you don't believe me then ask Dumbledore, he was in the crowd at that time."

"What was Dumbledore doing there?" Hermione asked

"Oh, he was hoping to see up the skirts of young Japanese girls like in anime" Harry lied, though with the look that Hermione was giving him he had no regrets about doing so "either way, lesson is over so get your pitiful arses out of my sights"

"You don't have to insult us!" Hermione said

"I don't have to train you either, deal with it or get lost" Harry replied

"Come on guys, let's go" Hermione glared at Harry and left with the trio, not before McGonagall transfigured their clothes back.

"Mr Potter, was all of that necessary?" McGonagall said to Harry

"It was a complete waste of my time is what it was" Harry replied and made his way back to the punching bag, he started punching it as he talked "the so called boy-who-lived and none of you thought it was a good idea to make sure he could at least disarm properly. I planned to spend today's lesson seeing where they were at and I am very disappointed."

"But surely you can see that you were too harsh on them" McGonagall replied

"Harsh? Please, that was angelic compared to the training that I had received" Harry said as he kept punching "I've had much worse when I was a lot younger, your lions are kittens and if they want to survive my training then they had better grow up or I won't be so nice next lesson."

"Nice?! You call this nice?!" McGonagall blurted out in surprise

"Too nice, I think" Harry replied "let your cubs know that they should be here the same time tomorrow and the same rules apply, also if I hear them complain tomorrow then I will personally throw them in a lake with shackles attached to their ankles and make them swim in it. Oh and tell Dumbledore that I want my payment before every lesson, I'm not coming near those idiots without it"

"I will make sure he's informed" Snape said, supressing a smirk at McGonagall's open mouthed face. He then lead his colleague away from Harry, once they were far enough away they began talking.

"Severus" McGonagall said "you must agree with me when I say that those lessons should be stopped"

"Yes I do, I need to protect Mr Potter's sanity and teaching your brats won't help him"

"My brats?!" McGonagall repeated "'You make it sound like it was their fault"

"I think it is" Snape replied calmly "Miss Granger is a girl who believes she's a magical prodigy because she can memorise a few books, Mr Weasley and your Potter are lazy and spoilt by Albus. It's about time that they learn about how the real world works"

"Real world?"

"Surely you noticed Mr Potter saying that he had practised falling on concrete and him saying he's received worse training when he was younger. From the sounds of it, your lions are moaning and complaining about training that would seem like child's play to him. I understand why he's upset, imagine having seventh year students complaining and saying that transfiguring a matchstick into a needle is too hard."

"Do you know what training Mr Potter went through?" McGonagall asked

"All I know is I've got another piece of the puzzle that is Harry potter"
