Harry and Hermione awoke a couple hours later by what could only described as a loud bang. They were immediately on their feet with wands drawn. Daphne and Luna were also on their feet but were barely pulling their own wands.

"What the hell is going on?" Harry asked the Daphne and Luna, never taking his eyes off the door

"We don't know," they replied in unison.

"BANG!" the door shook as whatever was on the other side had obviously brought down the notice-me-not charms but had been unable to bring down the silencing and locking charms and was not trying to blast his or her way through the door.

Harry gave a sideways glance to Hermione before he motioned for everyone to step back as he strode forward, wand just about eye level. He stood there with his hand on the nob. Again the loud bang reverberated throughout the cabin and Harry suddenly dropped the other charms and threw a stunner at the person standing immediately in front of the door. The man dropped like a sack of potatoes as screams now erupted from several students who had come out of their own cabin to find out what was happening.

"Expelliarmus!" several voices said together. Harry however was heavily set on battle mode and had already sent up a protego in front of himself and the door. The shield was strong enough to bounce some of the spells back to their castors, of the original 8, 6 were now down and out for the count. Harry quickly assessed the situation. There were a total of 27, including the original gentleman whom Harry had taken out initially. Harry brought up his wand to fight off the others when suddenly a voice was heard.

"Drop the wand! As Head Girl I order you to drop it at this moment!" a young woman, already in uniform with her blue and copper tie held her wand at eye level as well and was pointing it directly at Harry.

"Why was I attacked?" Harry basically screamed at the young woman.

"Why was your cabin locked, silenced and surrounded with notice-me-not charms?" the girls retorted, "school rules clearly state that it is forbidden to magically lock and silence a cabin, notice-me-not charms are allowed with explicit permission from the teacher on board. I have grounds right now to not only give you detention for the remainder of the year but can treat this situation as an attack on a teacher, which is grounds for expulsion."

Harry looked down at the downed gentleman, noticing for the first time that it was actually a teacher judging by his robes. Harry looked up and looked the girl straight in the eyes, "I did not know that he was a teacher. He was trying to break down the door and it took us by surprise. I thought we were being attacked."

"Rennervate," the girls said quickly bringing all the down people back from their unwanted slumber.

The teacher quickly was back on his feet and Harry for the first time noted that the man was incredibly short, he couldn't be taller than 3 feet and that was even a stretch, "Dear me, what happened?"

"This boy attacked you," the girl said as she pointed at Harry.

The small teacher turned to Harry, "My boy, what's your name?"

"Harry, Harry Potter," Harry said begrudgingly, he really didn't need the attention right now but it wasn't smart to lie to a teacher.

The small man squeaked, "Harry Potter? Dear me boy, the stories must have been true judging by the power of your stunner! Took me right out!"

"I'm sorry Professor…"

"Flitwick," the man said with a smile

"Professor Flitwick about stunning you, I thought we were being attacked. And I'm sorry but, what stories?"

"Quite alright my boy," Flitwick said with a smile, "as for the stories, well that you had gone off to be trained with the 4 Great Mages of the World, and had been fighting of Dark Lords in Asia, South America, and had even gone off to the States to be trained by Master Sage Emyrrs, descendant of the Greatest Master Sage Merlin."

Harry couldn't help but choke back a laugh, the stories people came up with, thought he stored the information away for later, "I'm sorry professor but those and any other stories you have heard of me are completely and utterly false. I have been living in Little Whinging, Surry with muggle my aunt, uncle, and cousin. I was not even aware that I was a wizard till my letter arrived.

Flitwick stared at Harry for a moment wide-eyed, "Dear me boy, you have to be the most naturally talented dueler in the world then!"

"That's not entirely true either Professor, this summer I spent a month with Master Wandcrafter Ollivander," Harry said cryptically, not giving more than that.

"Well then I must applaud you Mr. Potter, you will certainly not only be a pleasure but a challenge to teach," Flitwick said with a sly grin

"Excuse me professor but he not only silenced, locked, and 'notice-me-not'ed his cabin but attacked you and several other students. There has to be a consequence to his actions," the Head Girl said basically scolding the professor.

"Oh yes," Flitwick said," hm…after the feast please come and talk to me, I have a feeling first year classes will be ill-suited for you after this display of not only power but knowledge. We may be able to move you into 3 year classes."

"Professor?" the Head Girl was steaming now

"Yes Miss Pennington?" the professor said as he pried his eyes off of Harry

"He stunned you!" she fumed

"And I applaud him, only two people have ever been able to land a spell on me and neither had been able to do what young Harry had done so easily and swiftly. Dumbledore in the winter 1967 and Mad-Eye in the Great Battle of Mage Hill 1979 and he only did so because he did it on accident trying to hit my attacker. Winter is not element of choice, as I am part goblin, and I was not expecting an attack from a friend but neither took me down for more than a couple seconds. Dwell on that Vanessa," Flitwick said before he turned to Harry, "Remember Harry, meet me after the feast."

Harry nodded and caught the eye of the Head Girl who was glaring daggers at Harry. Harry gave a smile and a wink before turning and walking back into the cabin. The Head Girl let out a low growl before she turned to the perfects that had seen the entire ordeal unravel before them, "Go on, continue your rounds!"

The perfects quickly scrambles to their duties as the Head Girl joined the sole boy that had remained. He too wore a Head badge, his Crimson and Gold tie neatly in place, he smiled sadly at Vanessa before speaking, "Come on Vanessa. Just let it go."

She grabbed his hand and made her way down to the compartment that was reserved to only the Head Boy and Girl, "How can Professor Flitwick just do that though? The boy attacked him and several other perfects!"

"Now you know that's not true and you heard his explanation. I would have done the same thing. Besides he only took down Professor Flitwick, the others were taken out by their own spells."

Once inside the compartment Vanessa basically collapsed onto the boy and laid her head on his shoulder, snuggling close, "I know, it's just that, I was kinda hoping this year would be easy for me, as far as the students go because of NEWTS and well…us."

The boy smiled and kissed her forehead softly, "You know, you worry too much. You remember what the last Head Boy and Girl said to us in our letters? This is easy, we let the perfects take care of everything and occasionally step in and to a teacher's duty when necessary. Harry Potter will not be a problem for us…ok?"

Vanessa sighed, "Your right…"

"When am I not?"

She punched him before her lips met his, "I love you."

"Yea, who the fuck doesn't…"

"You're an asshole."

"Yes, yes I am," he said with a smile as kissed her.

"What the bloody hell were you thinking Harry!" Hermione attacked him as he reentered the compartment. Hermione had immediately jumped on him while Daphne and Luna were now sitting with smiles on their faces that they were trying to try their best to hide.

"You cannot blame me Hermione for my actions, all of us were scared and I think that I did the right thing. What if it had been someone who was out for Daphne or Luna or us for the matter? Oh that's right, it was rude of me to attack without asking if he was attacking us. I'll be sure to ask you and the person I'm attacking if it's ok that I defend you girls and myself because I wouldn't want to be rude," Harry grumbled as he sat down in his seat and closed his eyes.

Hermione opened her mouth and quickly reclosed it before she sighed, "You're right, I'm sorry."

"Its fine, I just want to go back to sleep," Harry said not bothering to open his eyes or even move.

Hermione glanced at the girls who were turning red in trying to hold back their laughter, "Not a word…," she hissed at them before she returned to her spot next to Harry. The girls however couldn't hold it and starting laughing. Soon even Harry and Hermione were laughing too.

Harry and Hermione were unable to go back to sleep as minutes later the cart lady passed and they purchased man sweets and a couple of pumpkin pastries for each of them. Harry did not redo the spells because he didn't want trouble again, he did however kept his wand out and ready for any off chance of an attack to which the girls rolled their eyes and continued on their conversation as to which beauty product worked best and which were just all hype to which Harry paid no attention.

"Please put on your school robes," a curly red head said as he poked his head into the cabin, "we will be arriving to Hogwarts very soon."

"We are exempt from the school robes rule by the Dress Code Decree of 1885," Harry said quickly dismissing the boy.

"I'm sorry I am not familiar to the decree," the boy said

Harry sighed as he pulled out a very old book from his trunk. Harry quickly flipped through the pages before landing on the correct page and handing it to the boy, "The Dress Code Decree of 1885 states that because we come from a society outside of the wizard, we are allowed to keep our own clothes as long as they bare the symbol of Hogwarts and do not show an excess amount of flesh."

The boy quickly read through the page before he looked up, "Your clothes however match that of wizarding society and I know for a fact that Miss Lovegood here grew up in wizarding society."

"Lady Lovegood did not grow up in wizarding society, yes she was a part of it but her nationality and loyalty remains to Elvenwood as does Lady Greengrass'. Hermione and I grew up in muggle society and we were further raised in Elven society rather than wizard as our robes are actually in the style of Elven craftsmen mixed with Elven battle robes, as we are students. Upon becoming of age we will be given a Master Elven Craftsmen robe and a Master Elven Battle Robe. Our alliance and loyalty will always be to Elvenwood and our nationality Elven to the world," Harry explained quickly and formally. He was told to state this should they run into any problems with those who were not aware of the situation they were in, namely anyone other than Albus Dumbledore who was informed of all of this a week before school.

"Yes well…the matter will be settled by Professor McGonagall soon enough," the boy said with a sneer as he shoved the book back into Harry's hands. Just as he was going to shut the door Harry stopped him

"I'm sorry, you never did give your name," he said sweetly

"Percy Weasley," the boy said smugly puffing out his perfect's badge

"No relation to a Ronald Weasley perhaps?" Harry asked, he already knew the answer however

"Yes, he is my younger brother, how do you know him?" he asked his eyes turning to slits

"I had the pleasure of making his acquaintance earlier, if there is nothing more you need, we were hoping to prepare and hopefully catch a wink of sleep before we arrived to Hogwarts," Harry said as he ushered him out the door

Percy eyed them suspiciously but nodded and continued on his patrol.

"Another Weasley! How many of them are there!" Hermione exasperated

"Nine including their parents," Luna said as she gazed out the window

"There are seven of them! Here at Hogwarts? I think I'll go mad!" Hermione almost cried

"Two already graduated and the youngest, a girl, has another year before she arrives," Luna corrected her

"So there are 4 here and we've already met two of them, I can only wonder how the other two are," Hermione murmured

"They aren't so bad, they just have a knack for pulling pranks," Luna said with a smile.

"Great, one is an arse, the other is a pompous arse and the last two are pranksters. I swear if the entire wizarding world is like this I just might forgo magic and live under a rock in the muggle world for the rest of my life," Hermione grumbled

"Oh you just haven't met Malfoy yet, you'll just love him and his attitude," Daphne smirked

"Malfoy, we met him already. Pale, hair that's slicked back, walks around like he owns everything in sight?" Harry asked

"Yup, you described him perfectly," Daphne said giggling.

"Not so bad if you can rein him in, of course when he heard that I am, as he put it so kindly, a mudblood he went into a rant of how superior purebloods were," Hermione said rolling her eyes.

"And?" Both Luna and Daphne asked curious as they knew Hermione and Harry did not take kindly to discrimination or to pompous people in general

"And what?" Harry responded

"Well what did you two do?"

Harry and Hermione looked at each other and back to the girls, "nothing we just sold him his wand and sent him on his way," Hermione shrugged nonchalantly before reaching into her bag and pulling out a book while Harry slapped his hand together when he opened them a book appeared, "show off," she growled at him.

"That's it, you did nothing?" Luna asked

"It's not as if it mattered, we have nothing to prove to him and truthfully his opinion, though shared by many, is not important. I mean look at Merlin, the bloke was a mudblood and his magic levels and achievements have yet to be matched, well by normal magical folk," Harry said as he leafed through the book looking for where he left off

"Besides I'd rather take Malfoy's rant any day than listen to Ronald Weasley and his old brother Percy talk for more than a minute," Hermione said as she continued to read.

Harry, Hermione, Daphne and Luna stood in front of the group of first years at the entrance. They stood out not only because they wore uniforms different from everyone else but because they had an air of confidence while the others stood shifting around wondering if you really had to wrestle a troll, like Ronald Weasley had been telling everyone.

"So you're Harry Potter," a voice said off to Harry's left and slightly behind his field of vision

"Malfoy?" he asked Daphne without turning

"Malfoy," she confirmed back to him

Harry smirked, somehow he knew this moment would come, he had been hoping this moment would come actually.

"Scion of Malfoy, what can I do for you?" Harry asked without turning around

Malfoy smiled at being called Scion of Malfoy and took it as to mean Harry recognized him as superior or at least as a man who wielded power, "Well as I was telling Crabbe and Goyle here, you have to learn that families are better than others and that we must make the right choices in who we make friends with. I have made the choice to offering my hand in friendship," at this point Malfoy had moved to stand in front of Harry and was holding out his hand.

Harry looked at the hand, then put his hand on his chin overly exaggerating himself thinking, "Well Malfoy I must say I am surprised by this move. Never thought I'd see the day when you'd admit that our families, the Grangers who are part of the muggle Royal Family by Knighthood, the Ancient and Most Noble House of Greengrass, the Most Ancient and Noble House of Lovegood and The Only Most Ancient and Most Noble House of Potter were better than your…um what was it? Ah yes, House of Malfoy…hm no Ancient or Noble in there for the very least. Well perhaps with my help your house will gain Noble for the very least, as Ancient is out of the question," Harry said grasping Malfoy's hand before he could pull it away. Harry forced magic into the palm as he shook the hand, "glad to have you aboard Malfoy of course, among us friends we call each other by or first name, please feel free to do so.

Vincent, Goyle as of this moment your friendship with Malfoy has been dissolved as we do need to trim the weak links so to say. But um, I'm sure Ronald Weasley could be of use of you two, seeing as you three are at about the same level of intelligence," Harry finished with a smile as he released Malfoy's hand. Crabbe and Goyle looked over at the red head as the boy looked like he had seen a dementor.

Malfoy looked down at his hand and yelped; there in the center of his palm was a glowing blue phoenix tattoo, "What have you done to me Potter?"

"Please, its Harry," Harry said as he threw his hand around Malfoy's shoulder, "and that little thing is…an insurance of sorts. As of this moment you are now in the Service of The Legion of the Phoenix, not to be confused with the Order of the Phoenix mind you. The Legion is headed by the House of Potter with the House Greengrass as Master of Pureblooded Magical Folk, the House of Granger as Master of Muggle and Muggleborn Folk and the House of Lovegood as Master of Magical Creatures, you however are in service to me directly, perhaps you will gain a position but that remains to be seen," Harry said as he patted Malfoy in the back.

Nobody moved or said a word after Harry his little speech. Malfoy continued starring at his hand before he stuffed it quickly into his pocket and then moved to a position slightly behind Harry with his head down.

"Look up Draco, this is a new beginning for you," Hermione said tipping his head up slightly with her hand, "you'll find that this is going to be the best thing that happened to you. War tore this magical world apart and your family fought with Voldemort –"

Malfoy paled even more than usual and opened his mouth to defend himself but Hermione cut him off

"There is no excuse and you know that so don't even try to defend your father. Make no mistake, war will tear this magical world apart once again and this time, your family will make the right decision in who to stand by," Hermione said quietly so that only Harry, Daphne, and Luna were the only ones who heard what was being said

"What?" Malfoy whispered

"A war is coming you can be sure of that and this one will be worse than the last. Blood, both guilty and innocent blood will be spilled and it is our duty to prevent it, to protect the innocent and do be the ones that cause the guilty to be spilt," Harry said just as quietly, "Voldemort will return, of that you can be sure."

It was at this moment that Professor McGonagall strode to the front of the first years, eyeing Malfoy as she found him out of place standing slightly behind Harry. "We are ready for you," she said

Cuttin it there but I did update so be happy, um totally forgot my beta's email so could one of you volunteer to beta my work. In truth I really don't need one as I usually do it by myself but lately I've been getting lazy and I have so many damn stories that I don't have time to beta my work and keep everyone satisfied with my update times. You'd think with me being a writer and also being an editor I could do it myself but if you do something professionally you usually don't want to do it on your free time, ask a chef lol.

Let me know if you want to beta, just send an email to eric..com, this is also my professional email so if some of you want me to go over some of your work I'll be happy to take a look at it and give you pointers or just edit for you. One note, I'm not a publisher, I have several that I could recommend but you are better off just getting a Literary Agent (real easy to find online) and to send him a cover letter, your credentials/resume (not really required) and a piece of your work. Make note to COPYRIGHT your work before you send it to a publisher TRUST ME!
