AN: So since I cannot upload from my house I will be uploading a few chapters at a time when I have the chance. I will also check my messages at the same time. This part will most likely be short, in comparison to the other parts, since not much will change in this story. Yes I know that I didn't have Harry's first lesson with Lockhart but well it's in the book and it happened the same as then.

Legal bit: I do not own any creation that is from J.K. Rowling just my own ideas but I do profusely thank her for the great world she has created for us to work with.

Harry Potter the Lord of Hogwarts Part I

The Chamber of Secrets

Chapter 2

The Saturday meetings

Saturday morning was a bit of a shock for Harry. The main reason for this was that he wasn't expecting to be roused by Oliver Wood quite that early for Quidditch practice on the first Saturday of the term. While Harry loved Quidditch, being woken up at a quarter of five in the morning was borderline insane in his book.

When he finally made it down to the common room, Harry noticed that the rest of the team seemed to be waiting on him. Just as they were leaving the common room Harry thought that he should warn Oliver that he had a meeting with Professor McGonagall. "Oliver I have a meeting this morning at eight thirty with Professor McGonagall and I can't be late. I'm in enough trouble as it is with how Ron and I arrived at school this year, or had you forgotten about that?" Harry told Oliver on their way out of the portrait hole

"Oh Fine I'll call practice for you at seven thirty so that you can get cleaned up… ok seven so you can eat as well." Oliver said and then amended due to the look from Harry. "But the rest of us are going to be out there until ten."

That statement was met with a few grumbles but when they finally made it to the pitch they saw that another group were already there practicing.

"What is the meaning of this? I booked the pitch for the Gryffindor team practice the first night of term! What are you doing here Flint?" roared Oliver.

Then a Green streak barely visible in the early morning light shot towards the ground followed by six more and landed in front of Oliver. "Sorry but I've got a note." Marcus Flint said as he handed a slip of parchment to Oliver.

Oliver read it aloud. "I, Professor Severus Snape, do herby give permission for the Slytherin Quidditch team to have the sole use of the Quidditch pitch owing to the need for training of their new seeker even though the Pitch had been previously reserved by Oliver Wood." Oliver shoved the parchment back at Flint then continued "So you've replaced Higgs have you, with whom?"

Just then Draco Malfoy pushed his way to the front of the crowd. "Me, and as an added bonus my father gifted the team with new brooms. You see my father can afford the best." Just then Harry noticed that the Slytherins all had matching brooms that had Nimbus 2001 stenciled on the side in silver.

Harry couldn't help himself and before he knew it he said. "I guess you would need training Malfoy seeing how your dad had to buy your way onto your house team."

Malfoy sneered in response. "What would you know about parents Potter, you were just a drooling baby when your half-wit Father and mud-blood mother were killed, and if you don't learn how to treat your betters you'll meet the same fate so..."

It was at that moment that Katie Bell decked Malfoy while yelling. "YOU FILTHY VILE PERSON! NO DRACO, YOU DON'T DESERVE TO BE CALLED A PERSON YOU UTTER WASTE OF SPACE! I SHOULD CURSE YOU INTO OBLIVIAN FOR SAYING THAT! HOW DARE YOU SAY SOMETHING LIKE THAT! IF I HAD MY WAND ON ME, YOU WOULD BE WISHING I HAD KILLED YOU!1" As Fred and George grabbed her to drag her back to the Castle her words left her and she just started to scream incoherently.

By the time, they made it to the entrance hall Katie finally settled down and said. "You can put me down guys, I'm fine now really." She said still seething with rage

"Are you sure." Said Fred

"Because that was a brilliant display of a woman gone crazy that you put on down there." Said George.

"Yeah Katie, not that he didn't deserve what happened, hitting Malfoy might come back to haunt you later." Said Harry still a little in shock by what had transpired. "But thanks for sticking up for me, not that I needed you to of course."

"I know Harry I just couldn't stand to hear him speak like that I'm going to go tell Professor McGonagall what happened. I know that Malfoy will be telling Professor Snape to get me in trouble." Katie said.

"Don't worry we'll all back you up so that he won't be able to twist it too bad." Said Angelina somberly.

"I'll even give a record of my memory so that Professor McGonagall can see for herself that he deserved it for what he said." Harry chipped in.

"You can do that Harry?" Gaped Alicia. "They don't teach that here at Hogwarts, My uncle only learned it when he joined the Auror Academy for submitting reports. How did you learn?"

"I was taught how because of an incident that happened this summer. A member of the DMLE wanted my version of the story to see if they could clear up the matter." Harry told his teammates. It wasn't that he didn't trust them with the knowledge that he had been kicked out of his home, just that he wasn't feeling like talking about it at that time.

With the team's plan for the morning practice shot, they decided to all head into the great hall and wait for breakfast. Just before breakfast started Professor McGonagall entered the great hall and was practically ambushed by the team letting her know the situation.

"All right I have heard your side of this and since you came to me I will look into it. Ms. Bell you will however lose fifty house points for your physical attack on Mr. Malfoy and an additional fifty for the threats that you made against him. You will also serve a detention with me during the first Hogsmeade visit for your rash behavior. When I have reviewed the memory provided by Mr. Potter. I will then decide if any further punishments are necessary. Come with me Mr. Potter so that I might conduct this memory review." Said a rather disappointed Professor McGonagall.

When they were up two floors and headed down a seldom-used corridor Professor McGonagall spoke to Harry again. "Mr. Potter I'm not sure I agree with your decision to inform your teammates that you know how to submit memories; but I do believe that doing so in this instance will prove to be the right thing. When Professor Snape hears of this it will be good to present the proof to him of his own student's culpability in the matter." She stopped them in front of a stone gargoyle and said. "Licorice Wand."

Then the gargoyle leapt to the side saying. "Good Morning Deputy-Headmistress." Then a spiral staircase started to wend its way up from the floor. They both stepped on to ride up to a landing and just as Professor McGonagall was about to knock they heard. "You may enter Minerva and Harry. I was expecting you." They opened the door and Professor Dumbledore was seated at his desk. "I assume this is about the disturbance that happened down at the Quidditch pitch this morning. Oh don't look so surprised Harry I have found that my office in in a great spot to hear many things coming from the grounds. Additionally Ms. Bell's voice was quite raised and carried quite well on this calm morning. I did not however hear what had precipitated this outburst from her. Is that why you have come here?"

"Yes Albus, Mr. Potter wanted to submit his memory to me as evidence in the matter. I wondered if we might use your pensive for this." Said Professor McGonagall.

"Oh be my guest but I think that we might want to have Severus here as well just to save time. I do believe that he will want to be here for this. Fawkes would you please go and collect Severus he should just be finishing up with his meeting with Draco by now." That last bit was to a bird perched on a stand behind Professor Dumbledore's Desk. Just as Harry focused on the bird it disappeared in a small fireball. Only to return mere seconds latter with Snape, still in his nightclothes, in tow.

"What is the meaning of this Headmaster? I was going to come see you as soon as I had dressed and was presentable but as you can see your Phoenix was most insistent that I come now." Snape said then continued after a slight pause while he scanned the room. "What are they doing here? If this has to do with the vicious and unprovoked attack on Draco Malfoy that this boy started I will see him expelled, and that girl that struck and threatened Draco removed from the Gryffindor Quidditch team at the very least."

"It is about that incident yes. Actually Fawkes would you go and collect both Ms. Bell and young Mr. Malfoy and also any one professor that is currently in the great hall and bring them back here for us." With another fireball, the bird was gone only to return with first Katie Bell, then Draco Malfoy, and finally Professor Sinestra2 each with a separate fireball to mark their entrance. While Fawkes was doing that, Professor Dumbledore pulled out his pensive. Harry looked at the item that Professor Dumbledore grabbed and noticed that it was a shallow stone bowl that had several symbols carved around the rim and contained a weird substance in it that was somewhere between a liquid and a gas. "Harry I would like you to remember the events of this Morning and pull them out as you did the last time you gave a memory. Now just bring them over here and double tap your wand above the pensive so that we might review them. Ah Liana I'm sorry to bring you here on such short notice however we seem to be in need of a chaperone at the moment. I need you to keep an eye these three while Minerva, Severus and I review some memories. Severus before we go into Harry's memory I want you to add the memory of the version of events that Draco told you for comparison to the events that are in Harry's memory.3" When that memory strand was added to the pensive the three professors one by one dipped their heads and disappeared into the device.

"You have already learned how to give memories Mr. Potter, impressive." Stated Professor Sinestra. However, after that statement the four of them stayed very quiet until the three professors returned from the pensive a few minutes later.

When they did return the first to come out was Professor McGonagall who looked both angry but also concerned. Then it was Snape who just looked disgusted. Finally it was Professor Dumbledore with his usual look of calm.

Snape was the first to speak though he did so with barely concealed disgust in his voice. "You will lose ninety points for your house Draco, fifty for the threat to Potter and forty for lying to me about what happened. You will also serve detention with me for the next three Saturdays; I don't appreciate being lied to Draco.4 Also the Headmaster stated and I agree that the six Nimbus 2001s that are now in the possession of Marcus Flint, Adrian Pucey, Graham Montague, Victor Bole, Harold Derrick and Miles Bletchley will be confiscated and given over to the school; so that those students that want to try out for their house teams but cannot afford to purchase a broom might have the opportunity to do so."

"As I stated in the pensive, it creates a rather dangerous precedent if we allow a parent to buy their child's way onto their house team. Would we then get secret benefactors for other teams to get students on them that are of lesser skill than those that are already in place?" Professor Dumbledore stated evenly. "I have also decided that all practice sessions will be monitored by a school employee until such times as we can hire a chaperone for each house team, so that another occurrence of this magnitude does not happen again.5 Now then, I do believe that our business here is completed and we all have a full day ahead of us I believe."

At quarter to eight Harry was just turning down the transfiguration corridor when he spotted Susan Bones headed for the Library. Harry couldn't stop himself from greeting his fellow second year. "Hi Susan."

"H-hi H-Harry." Susan said tentatively.

"Is everything okay?" asked Harry

"Y-yeah, I'm just not sure why you're talking to me. I mean we're in the same year but not the same house. It's rather rare when houses mix outside of the classes that they have together you know." Said Susan.

"Why? I mean I know that we have our own house teams for Quidditch and all but why can't people be friends with someone of a different house? It just seems funny to me." Replied Harry.

"True I guess. I mean we have more in common than most people here at Hogwarts." Susan said after she thought about it for a second.

"What do you mean by that Susan?" Harry asked curiously.

"Well we're both Orphans whose parents were killed in the wizarding war they even say that my dad was killed by you-know-who himself. My older brother Ethan and I are being raised by our aunt Amelia now. I know that you're being raised by your muggle aunt and uncle. How are you handling that? They surely told you all about your parents." Susan said with a little hesitation.

"I didn't know all that about you. But my aunt and uncle never told me anything about my parents. I didn't even know I was a wizard until I got my letter to come here." Harry revealed.

"I never would have thought that. Imagine the Great Harry Potter not knowing he was a wizard. That would blow the minds of every one of the girls in the dorms, at least the ones that were raised in the magical world. Hell in my dorm I think that only Lilian wouldn't be, and that's only because she's a muggle-born. The rest of us knew of the magical world and of you growing up." Susan said a little agog. "So what are doing going to the Transfiguration corridor?"

"I have a meeting with Professor McGonagall in a little while and I thought that if I was early it would be better for me with how the term started and all. Why are you on your way to the library?" Harry responded.

"Right the whole flying car thing. I'm just putting the finishing touches on my Herbology essay about Mandrakes that Professor Sprout assigned us yesterday. I better let you get to your meeting Harry, bye." Susan said and turned away

"Bye Susan, good luck with the essay." Harry said by way of a farewell.

When Harry got to Professor McGonagall's he knocked and was told to enter. "Ah Mr. Potter I'm actually glad that you are early. Both you and Mr. Weasley will be doing your detentions tonight. You will be assisting Professor Lockhart while Ron will be working for Mr. Filch." Professor McGonagall told him.

"Ah professor is there any way that I can switch with Ron? I'd rather not work with Professor Lockhart." Harry asked expectantly.

"No Mr. Potter. At any rate Professor Lockhart requested you personally." Professor McGonagall replied. "At any rate I was informed of a change to the meeting just a bit ago. A young Auror candidate will be here to take notes so we will be moving the meeting to one of the unused classrooms here in this hall; as my office is not large enough to fit that many people comfortably."

They exited the office and went down the hall to another room with a young woman who had bubblegum pink hair. As she stood up, she clipped the edge of the desk that she was sitting at and tripped.

"Wotcher, I'm Tonks and you must be Harry." The pink haired woman said excitedly while she stood back up.

"Mr. Potter this is Auror Cadet Nymphodora Tonks, Cadet Tonks this is Harry Potter." Professor McGonagall stated flatly. Harry did notice that Tonks' hair changed from pink to a violent shade of red when Professor McGonagall said her first name. "You'll have to forgive her she doesn't seem to enjoy her first name."

"You'd hate it too if you were named Nymphodora. I can tell that you were surprised that my hair changed color at the mention of my name. I'm a Metamorphmagus. I can change my appearance at will. I can even change my height by a little bit but I'm still short.6" She sounded a little dejected when she was talking about being short.

"Ah Harry I see you have met our young cadet Tonks." Madam Bones said as she entered the room. "I hope that you don't mind this change to the meeting but she is faster at taking notes than I am. This way I won't have to stop you if you're speaking too fast."

"Do you trust her? Will she be silent about this?" Harry asked warily and he noticed that Tonks looked a little annoyed by these questions.

"Let's see. Cadet Tonks are you willing to submit to a wizard's oath that you will not divulge any information about these proceedings in any way with anyone who is not a member of them on pain of the loss of your magic?" Madam Bones asked her young assistant.

"Yes Ma'am. If that is what I need to do." Tonks replied without a thought.

"Well Harry, is that enough? Will you go through with the vow since it must be made with you as you are the primary person of interest in the matter?" Madam Bones said as she evaluated Harry evenly.

"No ma'am I think that will do just fine. I wouldn't want her to lose her magic for a slip of the tongue when someone else was able to hear." Harry said a little shocked.

"On a different note Harry, I would like to extend the apologies of the Improper Use of Magic Office of the DMLE. Due to your submitted memory we have cleared your name of the infraction." Madam Bones said in a happier tone.

"Thank you Madam Bones." Harry said politely.

"Ah hello Patricia, Poppy I see we are only waiting for Albus now." Madam Bones said to the newcomers to the room. Harry realized that Patricia was Ms. Welding since he knew from last year that Poppy was Madam Pomfrey's first Name.

"Hello" they both said in unison.

"I'm Sorry. I seem to have kept you all waiting." Professor Dumbledore said as he entered the room at that precise moment. "Good Morning all."

They all greeted him in kind.

"Now let's get to business." Said Madam Bones. "Patricia what did you find in the search for a will from either James and/or Lily Potter?"

"There is a joint will logged with the goblins of Gringotts two days before they went into hiding. However, I couldn't find any indication that it was ever read and the bequests completed. When I dug a little deeper into it, I found that the will was sealed by an order of the Wizengamot. It would have needed to be a High Warlock, Supreme Warlock or an officer of the Wizengamot to do that. That leaves us with one of twenty-four no twenty-three people that did this. Thankfully, Harry is over the age of eleven, he can request that it be unsealed and the Wizengamot can't do anything to stop it." Ms. Welding said while reviewing her notes.

"Are we certain that is the wisest decision at this juncture?" Dumbledore asked the group.

1 Well that came out of nowhere that I had planned.

2 I just rolled a die with the teachers that were working at the school at the time. I wanted the chance that another teacher besides the heads of house would be in the room for this. For those of you who are knowledgeable on this that means ten beyond Snape and McGonagall.

3 Just because this is the manipulative Dumbledore doesn't mean he is blind to what Draco is at this point. This is all part of his plan to rescue Draco.

4 Draco's version of the story is irrelevant beyond the fact that it was a lie.

5 The chaperone's duties are just to be a "responsible" adult to be at the practices. However, the really good captains will use them as a sounding board for ideas and team make-up after try-outs. The Gryffindor chaperone will be somewhat like an assistant to the captain. And they will help the heads of house with picking who to name captain.

6 I see Tonks as being naturally only five foot. When she is acting as an auror cadet, she is five foot six. She can gain only six inches but loose a foot in height.
