At exactly 5:00 AM, all of the Academy students began to awaken. Harry Oasis was very confused. He looked around the inside of his bed. First of all, he didn't have a four poster bed. Nor was his room freezing cold. Suddenly he remembered where he was: in the Hogwarts dungeons. More specifically, the Slytherin territory. As a member of the south tower, he had been shepherded into the Slytherin common room last night before entering into his new dorm area behind a portrait of a stuffy, old man. Very discrete, really.

His sister, Hermione Oasis, was in the Ravenclaw dorms. Quickly remembering that they would be keeping up a fairly normal schedule, he hopped out of bed and dressed quickly. They had all been told to gather in the common room at 5:40. When they arrived, a teacher would be there to escort them to the training area, after today they were expected to be their on time without guidance. Upon reaching the common room, he noted that a few people had already gathered. Patting his friend Ry (short for Ryce) on the shoulder he fell into his seat beside him. Ryce was from a poor family in Australia. Being invited to the Academy had been the chance of a life time for him, giving him opportunities he would not have had otherwise.

At exactly 5:40, the teacher escort entered the room to find all of the students seated and chatting amongst themselves. Upon seeing her, they all rose and waited for further instruction. She motioned for them to follow her and began walking back toward the door. She led them up the stairs and out the front doors, all the way onto the Quidditch pitch.

"Upon the first snow fall, I will be escorting you to an indoor practice area. Until then, you will be training here." They all nodded in consent and began to stretch while waiting for the instructor to come out. The rest of the groups arrived shortly after themselves. Harry walked over toward Hermione immediately and began stretching with her.

"How is your dorm area?" He asked her. She shrugged.

"It has nothing on our dorm areas back home, but it is nice enough. I'm no longer sharing a room with Aly, of course. Are you still in your own room?" He nodded. Just then Kathryn and Severus came out onto the field. Everyone stood to acknowledge them before going back to stretching. Kathryn's voice echoed around the pitch:

"Alright everyone! Find a partner, and start basic hand to hand offensive and defensive moves! When you finish those, move onto..."

Draco stretched his arms up above his head before casting a Tempus charm to find out the time. 6:50 AM. Earlier than usual. He decided to get up and take a shower now, he could take however long he wanted. Besides, everyone was trying to get to the great hall for breakfast early that day to see the Academy students.

When he was finally ready, he made his way into the common room at 7:25 to see the Academy students heading back into their dorms. Despite curiosity, they made their way up to breakfast. At 7:45 the Academy students came into the great hall and sat down for breakfast. All of them, from all of the houses. They chatted amongst themselves, before sitting with fifth years at their own tables. Draco had turned back to eating when he heard the most melodious, deep voice.

"Hello, my name is Harrison. What is your name?"

AN: sorry to those unappreciative of cliff hangers. I will try to update soon. Sorry if the quality of my story goes down for a while, I am sick. Oh, and Harry will introduce himself to everyone outside of his "family" as Harrison. I'm probably going to have to edit the other chapters of my story a bit, Just to let you know Voldemort was killed while Harry was a baby in this story. The biggest things standing in their way are different. PLEASE REVIEW!!!!!

Love, Aurora
