It was not a good day, it was September the first and the student's arrival was imminent and all the staff dreaded the return of Harry potter.

You see dear readers in a world where there was never a Voldemort and James and lily lived Harry potter was an arrogant ass, mainly because his mother was never around so his father brought him up. Lovely. AU 5th year onwards

Ravenclaw: The Bronze Trio

Hufflepuff: The Black Trio

Gryffindor: The Golden Trio

Slytherin: The Silver Trio

Snape is sat in his usual seat with Auriga Sinistra on one side and the teaching assistant Carter Smith on the other. Carter had black hair that fell in large loose ringlets halfway down her upper arm and her skin had a healthy tan. Her eyes which were hidden under a heavy glamour were not the warm brown everyone saw they were in fact a light violet flecked with silver.

Auriga had dark red hair and it was shorter and layered, her eyes were a silvery blue and her complexion pale.

Each house had a trio that stood out from the rest of the house. For Ravenclaw it was Luna lovegood, Hermione Granger and Terry Boot, for Hufflepuff Cedric Diggory, Hannah Abbot and Susan Bones. Slytherin had Draco Malfoy, Daphne Greengrass and Blaise Zambini then there was Gryffindor and they had two: Potter, Black and Weasley and Hermione, Neville and Lupin. But the teachers preferred the latter as the Golden Trio because the trios all got along and Potter and Malfoy did not.

Then out of the teachers it was Snape, Smith and Sinistra who made up the trio. They were always together despite the fact that Carter was about 10 years younger than the professors.

Carter dreaded the return of Harry potter every year since first year when she had angered his father.

FLASH BACK

It was early September first and the staff was gathered in Dumbledore's' office for an urgent discussion.

The discussion was actually James Potter's demands for his sons' time at Hogwarts for example James waned Filch to hand over the map. That would be tricky. Carter had the map. Any way about an hour later James had said

"At least one of your staff is competent enough to take notes!"

The entirety of the staff room had glared daggers at him for this – the majority of them had taught him! Then they looked at a 22 year old Carter who glanced up from the notepad in front of her.

"Oh I'm not taking notes… I'm drawing a picture!"

She turned the pad round to reveal a very accurate drawing of the enraged Potter with the words DICKHEAD tattooed on his forehead.

END FLASHBACK

This led to a majority of Harry's pranks being pulled on her- it was rather tedious actually, but he always seemed to forget that she had the Weasley twins on her side and they were funny, nicer and more awesome than Potter.

Dinner proceeded swiftly the firsties were sorted and the inhabitants of Hogwarts had finished eating. When suddenly the joy of returning to Hogwarts was stomped on as Delores Umbridge began a speech about the slimy, paranoid interference of the pile of excrement that was the ministry of magic.

Apparently Dumbledore was trying to build an army to over throw the ministry, really mused Carter if Albus wanted to engage in a hostile takeover of the ministry all he need do is mosy on up to the front doors release his magical aura and draw his wand in fact no scratch that, all he need do is enter an election.

"Ridiculous isn't she?" muttered Snape

"Honey" replied Sinistra "that ain't no she"

Carter snorted
