Chapter 2: The Yearly Plan

Rowena opens her eyes and looks around her to see herself surrounded by Goblins and a wizard. She reached for her wand until she realized she didn't have one.

"Rowena its ok, you're among friends." The boy responded but she didn't trust him. He pulled a robe out and flicked his wand. Immediately she felt the robe surrounded her.

"You do know that Goblins are the enemies of wizards don't you?" Rowena replied calmly, eyeing the goblins with cautious eyes. The goblins looked offended at her comment but the boy laughed.

"I guess you would think that. However, it's not the tenth century Rowena. It's the twentieth. I reincarnated you; you're in your ten year old body."

"How… you must know advanced dark magic in order to…" She replied, the boy laughed again.

"No, it was elven magic. I know it quite well. I used my hair to help reincarnate you. Using the call of the earth herself to bring you back. So you may be Rowena Ravenclaw, but you are also not." Harry replied.

"And the goblins?" Rowena asked.

"There is a truce between goblins and wizards, however, I seek a full treaty between our two races." Harry replied.

"Why?" Rowena asked.

Harry looked at her and he just replied. "It's better I show you."

Rowena looked into his eyes before she saw memories that weren't her own. Seeing things she couldn't believe. When she finished seeing the memories she glared at him.

"Time travel? Many have attempted it, but…"

"It has been many years since your time. With the use of much knowledge of magic from different beings, I was successful. Through my friends I had a better chance at doing it. I believe you know why I brought you back instead of the other three."
Rowena Ravenclaw could guess, she was known as one of the wisest witches to ever live. Capable of creating excellent strategies against many opponents.

"I don't like the fact I've been brought back out of my resting place."

"Yet, you wish to know how the world is now, as well as to see if you can stop the threat that now looms over our head. I'm sorry I brought you into this, but I needed your help. Plus I could use your wisdom and advice from time to time." Harry replied.

She sighed and got up.

"So, when do we begin?" Rowena asked.

Harry smiled and led her outside.

"I'll be back in a week. Reactivate Ravenclaw's vault. I also have a name for her, to avoid any suspicion." Harry said as he handed Ragnok a piece of paper.

"Also make note that the 'heir' of Ravenclaw has been found. There is no way she won't be returning to Hogwarts." Harry added. Harry then pulled another object out of his robe and handed it to Ragnok.

"This is a two way journal. That way you will be in touch with me even though I'm far away. Works better than owls and other communication devices." Harry explained.

"Okay, in the meanwhile what shall be done with her? I'm sure we can't just let her wonder into the world."

"I'm taking her with me. I'm going to teach the ways of the muggle world and the modern Wizarding world."

The goblin nodded, seeing the way this would work. She would have a full year to get comfortable before entering Hogwarts.

Harry grabbed Rowena and led her down the steps.

"Try to not look to amazed. I'm sure you know not to, but don't blab things out." Harry whispered as they exited Gringotts.

Rowena closed her eyes from the glare of the sun, but when she look down, she was staring in awe.

"That is how I looked the first time I came here. Come on, we need to get your robes." Harry said as he led her down the steps.

"Stick close to me, I don't want to lose you in the crowd." Harry whispered as they slipped in and out of the crowd. Rowena nodded but wished she had about eight more eyes, the shops and the alley had completely changed from her time. She remembered only three shops existing and it was crawling with low lives that either begged for gold or tried to rob you.

Harry grabbed her hand when she stoped to admire the Quidditch shop.

"The new Nimbus two thousand, it's the fastest broom out."

"We ride on brooms? I remember when…"

"That broom is nothing compare to the Firebolt coming out in two years. Come quickly. We need you to look decent if you want to stay in the Wizarding world." Harry said as she couldn't help but stare.

'Was I this bad when I first came to Diagon Alley?'

Finally Harry managed to pull her into Madam Malkin's and she got herself new robes. Harry then took her to a book store. Just as he dreaded, she wanted to buy every book available. Harry nearly had to drag her out of the store after he had bought all the books he needed. They then went to the Apothecary and got their ingredients, something Rowena mentioned she didn't like doing. Harry couldn't help but snigger. They then went to the Leaky Cauldron and asked for a room with two beds. Tom nodded and sent them to a room.

"Okay, we are most likely going to be staying here for a year. So we need to catch up to date with everything in the Wizarding World."

"When do I get a wand?" Rowena asked.

"Not 'till next year. It was risky enough for me to get a wand without going to Hogwarts. However, we need to improve your writing, speaking, terms and what is going on these days."

"After we're done. Let's go shopping." She cried out giggling.

"This is going to be a long year." Harry sighed.

'Despite being an adult, she is also acting like a teenager. This may be a good thing seeing how we need the cover.'

The Next Day

Rita Skeeter was not a happy women, she found a note on her desk stating to meet with someone at the Leaky Cauldron at eight o'clock in the morning for some details and information the person wanted to go over, but they had yet to show up. She hated waking up so early for nothing. She was about to leave when a voice behind her startled her.

"Glad you came Rita." A small voice said behind her. She jumped and glared down at the ten year old standing there.

"Look, I'm waiting for someone rather important, I don't have the time."

"I know, I summoned you here. Come with me." The boy motioned her to follow to the back room. Rita hesitated but followed.

He sat down and Rita sat across from him. Eyeing him with great interest.

"I'm surprised you haven't figured out who I am." The boy said in amusement.

Rita looked him over and gasped.

"Harry Potter?" She whispered more to herself.

"Glad you know who I am now. Now we can get down to business." Harry replied.

"What sort of business?"

"I've got an offer for you. I have some 'informants' who have told me of upcoming events and things that are going on. I could tip you off, you get the story and write it. However, you must write the truth, don't change it or edit it. If it must be done by making it horrible, it will be against people I tell you." Harry answered.

Rita only stared at him.

"Why, would I do this?" she hissed.

"Because if you don't, I will leave a note with the Aurors about you being an unregistered Animagus." Harry whispered.

Rita paled. "How did you…?"

"I told you, I know things that will make your head spin." Harry replied.

"Okay, what do you have for me?" Rita sighed in defeat.

"In about six to eight months, I will contact you again. With a story that will truly boost your creditability." Harry replied as he turn to leave.

"So I leave with nothing?" Rita asked.

"You could do a story on how the goblins of Gringotts plan on upgrading security." Harry replied as he waved his hand goodbye without looking. Rita sighed and headed to Gringotts.

When Rita arrived she immediately approached the teller asking him questions about a possible security upgrade.

"Ah yes, Mr. Potter, our mutual party told us you would be coming. Yes, we will be placing new upgrades around the vaults and creating more traps for intruders attempting to break into Gringotts." The goblin replied.

"Who should I speak to about the upgrade in security?" Rita asked.

"Grahloh should be the one to talk to about it. He was planning on a making a statement latter today." The goblin replied.

Rita Skeeter couldn't believe the luck she got. She got a story that would lead her to great fortune, but she had to keep her end of the deal.


Harry walked back up the stairs to his room. Rowena was still sleeping. It took her a while, but she finally learned how write her name and the alphabet in modern English.

Harry was mostly pleased with her progress but was shocked to see there was a huge difference in how things were written between their times. He hadn't realized it would be so hard to change how Rowena wrote.

However she had got it done none the less.

"Rowena wake up."

"Hmmm? Not now mum." She murmured.

"Aguamenti" Harry muttered, making water splash onto Rowena's face.

"What was that?" She screamed. Harry laughed and told her what he'd done.

"That was rude." She huffed. Harry could only grin.

"Come on, we need breakfast. Please tell me I don't have teach you how to eat." Harry replied. She looked at him as if he had grown another head.

"Of course I know how to eat." Rowena hissed at him.

Harry looked at her slightly alarmed.

"You sounded like Salazar for a moment." Harry replied. Rowena smiled.

"Those three were my friends. Of course I can imitate them easily."

Rowena put on her robe and Harry led her downstairs.

"It's going to be a long year. Depending on how well you are doing, we will let the Wizarding World know who you are in six months." Harry said.

"How much has changed?" Rowena asked.

"A lot. It's not like it was back then. Many things have changed, and not for the better."

"What are the school houses called again?" Harry couldn't help but grin.

"Slytherin, Gryffindor, Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw." Harry replied causing her to choke on her morning pumpkin juice.

"You're kidding?!"

"I'm not, you were the founders so they named a house after you. In honor of your hard work and dedication." Harry replied.

"Why did you bring me back?" Rowena asked. Harry sighed, he had dreaded this question.

"There is a Wizard in this time, who goes by the name of Lord Voldemort. He started hunting down wizards and witches for a new world order. It was dark times, Rowena, people were running scared. Voldemort, around twenty years ago, began to gather followers to do his bidding. He is respected as a skilled duellist and a powerful wizard, but he went darker than dark. He was so bad, people even fear speaking his name. That was until a strange boy defeated the Dark Lord, breaking him and causing him to be vanquished. However, he didn't die. He lives on still, in hiding. However when he returns he will bring forth an army the likes of which this world has never seen. Last time, I called forth Gryffindor to aid me, however he suggested I summon you. He told me, I needed to outsmart the Dark Lord and you were the greatest of the four. Seeing how you're also my ancestor it was easier than with Gryffindor."

"So you summoned me to aid you in your quest to defeat this Dark Lord? How come everything seems so… peaceful?"

"Because I sent myself back in time. Back to my ten year old form. Shortly after I did, I brought you back." Harry answered.

"Shame I'm ten, wish I was older." She replied.

"You name is Rowena Synnove from now on." Harry added.

"Isn't that Scandinavian?"

"Yes, it means 'Sun Gift'."

"I don't like it."

"It's an old wizard name from Scandinavia. Well respected. We both know that you're originally from Scotland, but we also need to throw some mix into your name. You cannot return and say your name is Rowena Ravenclaw. People will think your insane and will send you to St. Mungo's Insanity Ward."

"St. Mungo's?"

"A wizarding hospital. For now, let's go over some basic history." Harry replied has he pulled out Hogwarts: A History.

January 14th 1991

The Heir to Rowena Ravenclaw discovered!
By Rita Skeeter

A young witch stumbled into Diagon Alley yesterday, however, this witch was unusually bright and she kept to herself. It was by pure luck that I heard the young lady tell her name to one Harry Potter. Her name is Rowena Synnove.

Oddly enough, it appears the descendents of Ravenclaw were hiding in the cold lands of Scandinavia to escape against the Dark Witches and Wizards that were hunting the family for the Lost Diadem, believing the legendary item could make them invincible against their enemies.

Rowena put the paper down looking at herself in amazement.

"It's new to you?" Harry asked as he laid down his copy.

"I'm surprised the picture moves. I knew I was going to be mentioned but, can I ask why you made me famous?" she replied.

"Two reasons. One, it will take some pressure off you being the girlfriend of the Boy-Who-Lived. Two, there is a man who is known as Horace Slughorn, he used to be a Professor at Hogwarts; he has excellent connections in the Wizarding World. I will also advise you to be on your guard, for he has a tendency to manipulate people, as he likes to collect trophies."

"Trophies?"

"Professor Horace Slughorn doesn't enjoy power. He is the person who sits behind the scenes. He likes the backseat. Be careful, for you could become apart of his collection." Harry warned.

"Using my celebrity status to increase my power. You also did that to improve things for your own plans."

"I will tell you my plans, when we get you to be skilful at Occlumency."

"What's that?" Rowena asked.

"Mind defense magic. Getting the book will be a bit difficult, but it will add creditability to your own powers. I have no doubt you will master it. However, until you do so, I cannot tell you much." Harry replied.

Rowena nodded as she began her new lesson.

July 31st 1991

Icon & Heir Returns!
Rita Skeeter
Surprisingly, today two young children walked into the Leaky Cauldron to get their school supplies. They managed to gather not only books for the school curriculum, but books about the Rise and Fall of the Dark Arts along with other advanced magical study guides. These two students are Harry Potter and Rowena Synnove.

These two were greeted by Diagon Alley's finest shops and their welcoming tenders. Sadly these young children were shopping alone. One would suspect someone from the Ministry or even Dumbledore would try and show these two promising young children the ropes of the Wizarding World, but sadly it did not appear to be so…'

Harry laid the paper down as Rowena looked at Harry in amazement.

"You're plan, may work better than you think." Rowena said, grinning like the little school girl she was supposed to be.
