Harry, Mavis, and Dracula arrived in Hogwarts after an hour or two flight. They arrived a few minutes before the train arrives and so they went inside Hogwarts. Of course, they met with Snape as he gotten word from the conductor of the train that Harry couldn't get through the magic barrier and so the Dracula Family had to travel via bat form.

"Glad to see you made it, Mr. Dracula." Snape stated with a sigh of relief. Truth be told, he had gotten used with Harry being different from James Potter and even accepted him as a friend. "I got your letter of all of your letters being taken. So I hold no grudge against you."

Harry smirked "I'll find Dobby sooner or later, he can't hide from me forever. He'll come back and when I get the chance, I get my letters back and read them."

Snape and Harry began to walk, talking about how their summers were and everything. Harry told Snape that he was doing his homework with ease while learning all sorts of languages, even told Snape that the Dracula Family's could speak Parselmouth for years and Harry learned how to. Snape was surprised that the Dracula Family could speak the dead language.

It was a bit before Mavis and Dracula left and both Snape and Harry arrived at the Hall before the other students joined in. Winnie went over to sit next to Harry and was now happy to be by his side once more.


Thirty Minutes Later...

The sorting was finished and Harry was managing to avoid getting pictures from a certain camera boy, Harry was having a good welcome back return. Ron and Hermione tried to talk to him, both were being ignored. George and Fred were already planning for pranking. And both Harry and Winnie were enjoying another good day at Hogwarts. They have always did like it here, sort of reminded them of a family but not completely.

But what their schedules had to be changed. They had everyone about normal but they needed enchanted earplugs so that certain things, like Mandrakes, wouldn't damage their eardrums. Which was exactly what they were going to do tomorrow.

The Next Day...


Professor Sprout came into the room, wearing earplugs already.

"Good morning, everyone!" Sprout stated with a loud voice.

"Good morning, Professor Sprout." The entire class except for Harry and Winnie said in unison.

"Now, we are going to learn how about Mandrakes." Sprout stated before asking "Who here can tell me about Mandrakes?"

"A Mandrake, also known as Mandragora, is a plant which has a root that looks like a human, like a baby when the plant is young, but maturing as the plant grows. When mature, its cry can be fatal to any person who hears it." Harry said suddenly out of nowhere.

"When still in their infant and child years, the cry of the Mandrake is fatal but not enough to make the victim to lose their hearing and die. It makes them go unconscious for several hours." Hermione added.

"Excellent answers, twenty points for Gryffindor." Sprout stated with a smile. "Now get their earplugs on. Nice and tight." The students did just that, especially Harry and Winnie. When she began to explain how to do it, she pulls out a mandrake and it screeched so loud that a few hand to press their earplugs. Harry and Winnie did it more though, their super hearing was not on their side. Sprout put it in an empty pot and put some soil in to keep it warm.

Before Sprout could say anything, there was a thump and everyone looked, seeing Neville on the ground.

"Looks like Mr. Longbottom neglected his earplugs." Sprout stated with a frown.

A Gryffindor kid looked at Neville before stating to Sprout "No ma'am, he just fainted."

There was some snickers, even from Harry and Winnie, at the fact that Neville was not out because of a Mandrake but because he just plainly fainted.

"Your turn now." Sprout stated and gestured her hands to tell them to do it.

They did it and when they all did it, Harry began to whimper in pain of his precious hearing. Winnie was yelping and whimpering in pain and soon they all put their Mandrakes into a pot and filled it with soil. Harry and Winnie snickered when they saw Malfoy stuck a finger in the mouth of one and it tried to eat it.


Hello everyone and I'm sorry for not updating sooner. A lot has happened like the fact that I have been put on hold from my job, which worries me. Don't worry about me, I'll live since I got some money that could hold me for a bit. I've also been helping out a friend of mine. Do you recall Sonicdash? If you read the chapter "Stopping Voldemort", so you would be familiar with him. Sonicdash is, in fact, an actual person. He isn't some made up person I came up with. I've been helping him with his stories on FIMfiction.

Aside from that, I've been reading some of the comments (or reviews, however you want to call it) and since this chapter was short, I'm going to answer and clarify on some grounds. And if my answers or counter questions offend or insult you, I apologies but that is how I see it.

To first start this off; zerochance117. I'm not going to "cost of this one dyeing/abandon/forgot/only getting ideas for the others and not this one so please be careful not to spread you're self 2 thin and lose track of what to do with your story's." To clarify now, I'm not going to stop and/or delete this story and/or series because of other stories I'm making. And I thank you for your concern to not spread myself to thin and lose track of my stories. My imagination does tend to get wild and come up with ideas of story but after thinking through things, I put it on the "Uncertain Projects" for you all to review.

Next up, and please don't take offense to what I'm about to say, is Erneymatt. The comment "For the love of all that is both divine and demonic please NO MORE MLP CRAP ON THIS SITE! PLEASE!" sort of made me a bit upset. You say that there is too much MLP stuff on Fanfiction, true? Well, here is my question to you. What about Naruto? Or Harry Potter? Isn't there too much of that stuff on Fanfiction? I heard that Naruto was over 2000 and I think Harry Potter is the same, just not much. Are you telling me that there shouldn't be no more "NO MORE NARUTO CRAP ON THIS SITE! PLEASE!" or "NO MORE HARRY POTTER CRAP ON THIS SITE! PLEASE!". Let me ask you this: this site, Fanfiction, is for all sorts of stories and crossovers. Saying that one topic has too much on Fanfiction while there are others like it is like saying that there is too much of that. And how about those MLP fans (Bronies and Pegasisters) and those who wrote MLP stories, are you saying their stories are crap? I apologies if I offended you but what I have said and stated is my opinion and could very well be the cold hard truth.

And finally; DZ2. I love your comment "Hm, do they really think they can fool a Dracula? And if Ron's so adamant that Harry's Dark, then why go after him in the first place? Honestly, that guy's got less brains in his heads than all Drac's zombie staff put together." It made me laugh for an entire week that I sometimes even had problems breathing. I don't know if you meant it as a question or something, but the last part I know for a fact you left that there to be funny and I loved it.

And that is it unless you count the comments of asking for more. I will tell you to look at my Profile and you will see the recent projects I have right now, available to be seen except for #4. And you can see my Future Projects to see what I have plan in the future. And the last one, the "Uncertain Projects". I will leave that for you to comment down if you approve or don't with the projects, since it may or may not be used. Before you write your review, I want you to at least look at my Profile and look at my projects and give me your opinion. And once more, please don't feel offended with my opinion abut your comments.
