I realized that despite my efforts in making my Harry not too powerful I failed doing this. To remedy this I've decided to cut back on his abilities a bit. I'm starting with reviewing the main characters quickly.
CHARACTERS
Harry James Potter: Main character.
Loki: magical construct created by Harry's magic at his request to have a friend.
Unnamed bird: familiar of Harry that may or may not have magical properties
Rex: Queen of the dino's that will be Harry's elite bodyguards
Raptor: Elite soldier that obeys Rex and Harry alone. Breeds very quickly.
Max: Immortal? Character that has been looking for anyone worthy of the command of the dino's.
Zeus: Rival of Cronus. True origins unknown. Future bad guy to balance Harry's powers out.
Cronus: King emperor of the two old factions. True origins Unknown. Future bad guy to balance Harry's powers out.
Voldemort: Comedy relief.
Ronald Weasley: side kick number one
Hermione Granger: All knowing library err girl. (side kick number two)
Headmaster Albus Too Many Names To Mention Dumbledore: Need I go on?
And finally...
Severus Snape: The guy that is going to be dying a very painful and multiple death.
POWERS and ADVANTAGES
01: Harry created Loki, and through Loki he can create replicators or minions as I call them here. The minions can do the same thing as they can do in canon. They can multiply by eating anything 'raw.' Once they absorbed a technology they can copy it or depending on how many copies of different brands they can either improve it.
02: HUNTERS Harry created the hunters to make his relatives nice to him.
03: True Minions: Harry has three hundred wizards and witches under his command. His year. The previous year and the next year. (the year of 1990, 1991 and 1992)
04: Harry can teleport / summon things to him. He needs to know they are there, otherwise it won't work. He has to know how it looks like and if it is a complicated device, know how it works. That means he cannot summon a TV and be sure it'll work.
05: Harry can teleport / transport himself instantly to wherever he wants as long as he has been there before.
06: (borrowed from a Ranma fic) minions can share what they are seeing and receive orders from above.
END
Note: his minions / hunters and other creations can also teleport things to them and teleport to where they want.
MISC
Students: There will be more students at Hogwarts than in canon. When Harry joins Hogwarts there will be roughly seven hundred students. Because of the baby boom I mentioned earlier in the story the average seven hundred students in total will go up to roughly a thousand students. Keep in mind that these are the ones that go to Hogwarts. As Hogwarts is an elite school, there will be many, many more that go to less expensive schools. Hogwarts will expand as needed to house the students. It's a magical building after all. The inside is a lot bigger than it looks on the outside.

CHAPTER START
Manhattan, America 1988 (sorcerer apprentice movie 2010)
Ten year old Dave watched in astonishment as Horvath was sucked into the vase while Balthazar was not. "Well." the older man began. "I suppose I was very lucky that I wasn't sucked in as well." he looked at the boy's frightened face and with a focussed thought the entire shop was repaired as if nothing had happened.
"Don't you worry about your class. They will think that you have had a fun day with them and won't ask too many questions that you should know if you had been truly there." The man paused. "I don't have much time because I need you to be ready to go to England when you are eleven."
Dave was still not quit comprehending what was going on so he said nothing. He didn't know it but he was in for a very exciting time. The Prime Merlinian, a very powerful sorcerer together with Harry James Potter was a very scary thought.
Forces aside from Zeus, Cronus and others were hard at work to make Harry's goals as difficult as possible.
/Time skip: The Sorting\
Harry was excited. Despite everything, he still wanted to learn what these people were able to teach him. While magic responded to his needs and wants he still needed something to keep this information private. If people knew what he could truly do who knew what they would accuse him off?
Even though it wasn't common knowledge (yet?) that he was the true owner of the new electronics store that had opened in diagon alley. The store like mentioned before had The Boy Who Lived as a first and happy customer. And because it had opened just that day it offered unique promotions. Another bonus was that it was shortly before the Before-Hogwarts-Supply-Crowd. If a shop owner had a slow year, you could bet on it that you would make some profit before the new school year. Those muggle born were so easy to rip of at times. Not that they knew that of course.
Anyway.
The things his store offered went from basic electronics that provided electricity, to basic and advanced computers that could either connect to the internet or could recheck your essay for potential grammar or spelling mistakes. On top of that, the store offered plenty of good dvd's that would astound the pure bloods and cause the half bloods and muggleborn to finally mix both the non magical and the magical world together in one neat package.
By this simple act, Harry had kick started the magical community of Britain by a few decades at the minimum. And Harry hadn't even begun yet. There were soda's that were given out as samples for free as long as the stock lasted for that day. Who wanted pumpkin juice when you could get soda? The technological devices not only guaranteed a lot cleaner homework but would make it easier to look for information. Harry's fake persona was already making deals with several book stores to use the information they had in specialized localized networks. They got paid for it so why would they care?
Harry was called back from his thoughts when his name was called.
He shot McGonagall an award winning smile and walked to her so he could get sorted.
As soon as the teacher put the hat on his head, a voice that definitely did not belong to any of his allies boomed in his mind. Loudly.
'WHO DARES TO PUT MULTIPLE CHILDEREN UNDER ME TO BE SORTED IN MY HALLS?'
Harry was confused but not discouraged. "I think you might be wanting to tune your noise DOWN a little. You are giving me a headache." Harry told the hat.
He could 'hear' the voice sputter in surprise. Apparently he was meant to be intimidated or something.
"I'm sorry child." The hat said quickly. "Are you aware that you have multiple persona disorder?"
While Harry was an intelligent child, he had never heard of that term. The name explained itself but it was still confusing.
"I do?"
"You wouldn't know it yourself of course. The question is where to sort you."
A part of Harry thought it would cause a lot of mayhem if he was simply sorted into Hogwarts as an... Avatar or something. Perhaps a misdirection of some kind to give him some kind of 'influence.' Of course the castle aka the hat would decide if his influence would be carried out or not.
"You figured out that I'm the castle in such a short time? Not even the headmaster has figured that out."
Harry snorted. "You did make it fairly obvious mister castle sir. You first shouted 'my halls' that meant from Hogwarts's perspective. I doubt that the headmaster would be able to sort people. It wouldn't be fair on them and fairly intrusive on their privacy as well." Harry pointed out solemnly.
'Touche' the castle hat agreed.
"The child doesn't even know that he is a direct descendent of all the original head of houses of Hogwarts. Technically that wasn't supposed to happen. But when Tom attacked the Potters... Yes. I can see how it happened. It would be a good joke but one that would put him directly in conflict with several teachers... I never liked the fact that Albus hired Severus. Having regret or not I know that he wants to take his petty revenge out on the only option he has: the child of James Potter..."
The hat considered what s/he should do. To be fair it didn't have a true gender. Most referred to Hogwarts as a 'she'. So to them she would sound as a she if they had the honour to talk to her one time. If the castle hat sorted him separately it would put him apart. Not only that, but it would announce to his enemies that he was different... So perhaps a different strategy was required...
The hat focused on the LEY lines on which the castle was built and send a request.
*I wish to undo the students that have been sorted already. I wish to make everyone except Harry James Potter forget that students had been sorted already. And I want them to not look at the time." As an afterthought the castle added. "And make them as rested as if they had a full night sleep."
The LEY lines responded to the castle's request immediately. And a moment later it was done.
/SHIFT\
Harry nearly lost his footing. What had happened? At one moment he was being sorted, the next he was back in the preparation room of earlier. Loki was as confused as Harry was so he was no help. This time Harry paid attention.
Professor McGonagall brought the hat out for the second time.
"I have an announcement to make." The hat began seriously.
"There is an heir of Hogwarts within the halls of Hogwarts. It is for this reason that Hogwarts has decided to speak to you. Or rather I'm already talking." The hat paused because it knew that this would cause quit a ruckus. And it did.
The noise that this announcement made was not only made by the students but also by the teachers.
Dumbledore had made several attempts to regain control, the hat decided that it might as well show off a little.
*SILENCE!* it commanded loudly. As if by magic nobody could make any noise.
"As I was saying before I was so rudely interrupted." The hat began. "Because of this heir I feel that he or she needs more protection than any of the four houses can offer. It is for that reason that the entire new first year will not be sorted into a house but under Hogwarts in general."
The hat enjoyed the attempts of the students to make noise or to dispel the silencing charm that had been placed on them.
"I wouldn't bother trying to undo the silencing charm. The spell has been done directly through the LEY line on which Hogwarts has been built." The hat pointed out.
"But because the first years need mentors of older years, I need several volunteers of each house to join the first year to help them guide them through their years here at Hogwarts. I will repeat this act next year as well. After that I will sort the students like I have been doing for centuries."
Ignoring all (attempted) reactions the hat continued undisturbed. "I'm sure that all of you are curious who this direct descendant of ALL the founders is and what she or he can do."
Oddly every student and teacher shut up at this. They were curious to who it was. Maybe the hat would reveal it?
"I'm not going to say who he or she is. And the only influence that this boy or girl will have is that Hogwarts himself that means I will make sure no undeserved punishments are given for all years. I will also make sure that no points can be taken without reason." And just to cause more chaos by the end of the day. "That means that Severus Snape cannot continue with forcing the victory of his house through petty point taking. It also means that if he continues with rule breaking that every professor needs to follow, he will find himself kicked out of MY halls."
Hogwarts undid the silencing charm and the cheering from all three houses was deafening. Even the teachers were shooting smug looks at the potion teacher. "The child will not have control over my defenses, but when he is here nothing unwanted will be allowed within my halls. The deadly snakes, scorpions, spiders and other deadly creatures have been removed from the third hall. No student or professor will be able to enter it and any attempt to enter it will be followed by being forcefully transported into the middle of the black lake with weights that cannot be removed..."
"Speaking of which. Professor Quirinus Quirrell is hereby removed from the Hogwarts ground on the ground of being the unwilling host of the half blood Tom Riddle or as he has been known more recently lord voldemort. His gadgets have also been destroyed that has resided within this castle."
The man had become incredible pale at this announcement and a liquid gas like thing erupted from the head of the man. Forcefully I may add. The liquid gas like thing was than removed from the Hogwarts grounds with a very loud CRACK.
Along with the CRACK a new table appeared in the middle of the four houses. To the left of it were Ravenclaw and Slytherin and to the right were Gryffindor and Hufflepuff.
Several older students had stood up and had sat down at the new table. When the teachers looked ready to protest the older students knew exactly what to say. "Haven't you been listening? HOWARTS herself-"
"Excuse me but I'm of the MALE gender so I would appreciate it if you would refer to me properly."
The student coughed and corrected himself.
"As I said, haven't you heard what Hogwarts himself just said? He asked for several older students to join this new group. I don't know about you, but I'm more than happy to join the first years and be a mentor for them. It's something I could've used in my early years. The student a seventh year Slytherin declared boldly.
"Does this make any different for my head boy status?" The boy asked.
The hat shook itself in the negative. "It will not change anything at all." The hat agreed.
No other snake stood up to join the head boy from that year. Several others did though. From every table the students were holding short conversations and eventually agreed on who would join the new table.
The new unsorted students looked at each other and joined the new table.
The hat nodded to itself.
"Now let's eat." He declared.
With that statement food appeared on all tables and the staff was left powerless to do anything. It was an unofficial rule to not make any statements during dinner. Before and after was agreeable but not while everyone was eating.
Every teacher was eating quietly considering how this would impact the time tables and how it would impact other factors as well. The problem was that a hundred childeren would be very difficult to manage. Even for the more feared teachers. Not only would it make it very difficult to help every child with its problems it would make the 'learned' subjects more difficult as well.
Harry himself was still fairly confused. He had a feeling that the hat was referring to him. After all, the weird stuff had only begun to start when HE was supposed to be sorted. Had he perhaps broken the hat? He dismissed that idea immediately. Harry recalled what it had said about multiple persona disorder. Although the word hinted at the answer, Harry did not want to misinterpret it. And Loki was sending his 'busy' signal when he tried to ask her.
Looking around Harry decided that the second year looking Ravenclaw boy before him would do. Perhaps he would know what he was referring to?
"Excuse me." Harry began. The student looked up to who had called his attention.
"Do you know what multiple persona disorder is?" The boy asked the older Ravenclaw.
The older Ravenclaw student blinked in surprise. "I think it might mean that you switch how you act in different ways. Like an aggressive persona and a very meek persona." When the older raven noticed Harry's confused look he explained in more detail.
"Sort of like a puppy and an aggressive wild wolf. The puppy wouldn't do anything if something threatened it except whine for help. But the wild wolf persona would not only go for the kill but would react very aggressive to any attempt to harm it. I'm Dave Stutler by the way." Dave explained.
"I'm Harry." Harry introduced himself. "Nice to meet you."
"Why did you ask a question like that Harry?" Dave asked after a moment. "Not many eleven year-old's would know an advanced term like that."
Harry considered what to say. He couldn't say the truth because that wouldn't make any sense. So he decided for a grey truth.
"It's something I heard today. The boy was referring to me as well." Harry explained. For some reason he couldn't explain he trusted this boy.
Perhaps it was the faint accent. "You aren't from around here are you?" The Boy Who Lived asked curiously.
Harry noticed that Dave's eyes narrowed for a brief moment before the boy relaxed again. "I'm from America." the boy told Harry. "It was quit a surprise when I got the letter that told me I was supposed to go to Hogwarts instead of a school there.
Now Harry's curiosity was raised. "Did they give you any reason?" The boy now shot Harry a wide grin. "They did explain it to me." The boy agreed. "But I'm going to make you figure it out yourself." The boy smirked. "Knowledge is Power after all. And I'm going to make you work for it."
Harry stared at Dave for a moment before shrugging. "That's fine. I would probably have been sorted in Ravenclaw anyway." Harry told him.
"So you say." Dave countered. But he was smiling widely. "It is going to be a very interesting year that's for sure."
By the end of their conversation every student had eaten their fill. The hat had somehow remained on its stool despite attempts to remove it. It was obvious that it still wanted to say several things. And while the attempts were quit funny to look at, the staff had eventually given up to try and remove the hat from its stool.
None of them had considered removing the stool. Not a logical bunch the lot of them. When Albus Dumbledore opened his mouth to say something, the hat was just a bit faster.
"I'm sorry Albus old boy, but I'm still not quit done with my announcements." It was very obvious to all the students in the hall that the headmaster was very frustrated with the current situation.
"I have build a brand new tower for my house. The entire first year will find plenty of room for them to sleep. The students that will join Hogwarts next year will also join my house. Follow the yellow stones and it will bring you to your new home away from home." The hat declared.
And with that statement the hat vanished with another loud CRACK.
"You heard Hogwarts." The headmaster said loudly Off to bed all of you. As usual the first year will be excused of the first day of classes. A seventh year will give you a tour through the castle and tell you where the classes are."
With that statement the headmaster left the great hall.
END CHAPTER
I know that this chapter is not five thousand words. But I wanted to publish this chapter a bit early. I don't think the next chapter will be longer to make up for it. I had to really push it to get it to this point. For those of you that haven't seen the movie I mentioned at the top, this is an AU. In the original BOTH Balthazar and the other were sealed. In his one only the 'evil' one were sealed. That means that Dave had a full year under the tutoring of Balthazar.
Obviously this is an AU of the movie. Like I said a bit earlier. That doesn't mean that the other one won't be freed though. Dave is extremely clever and a bit of a nerd even in the movie. Dave will be a very close friend of Harry. He had to be in his second year though. Not only because Ravenclaw house is made for him but because multiple persona disorder is not something the average eleven year old knows. That's my reasoning at least. Yes, Dave does have a wand but think of it like a distraction. He can do magic through his wand, but his most powerful magic is through his his focus. (I can't find the right name at the moment so I'll refer to it as a ring focus or some variant of that.
