Ari cheered when he got his Schedule! Even though he knew everything he wanted to see how everyone taught. He ran after his father as the man handed out schedules asking questions . Severus finally scooped his son up and talked in a quiet voice to him. Ari's mischievous smile answered the mans questions.

"Mr. Riddle." Severus finally said, "Please escort my son to his class."

He set Ari down as Tom came up and took Ari's hand.

"Yes, Professor." Tom said, "Come on , Ari we have English first."

Ari was bouncing around hyperly and Talking non stop as the two of them walked to class. The other Slytherin first years followed. Draco constantly trying to get Ari's attention and come between him and Tom which was impossible. They walked into English to see the Squib teacher waiting for them. Ari and Tom walked to the front of the class and sat down.

"Hey." Ron Weasley said stopping at their spot with Dean and Seamus. "Didn't Snape say you were his son?"

"Yes."

"Then why are you dressed like a girl?"

"Cause I like it. " Ari replied, he was chewing his gum again today. "Daddy says it's okay because I like to dress like this. "

"You're a Freak." Ron blurted looking utterly disgusted. Ari's lip trembled and his eyes shook as the Gryffindor boys laughed.

"Mr. Weasley!" The teacher scolded. "Detention tonight after dinner! And 20 points from Gryffindor now sit down. "

Ron skulked to a desk in the back. But watched as Tom talked rapidly to Ari trying to cheer him up.


"Mr. Snape-Black." Mrs. Figg said kindly. "Are you okay?"

"You can call me either or it doesn't matter." Ari sniffled, " And I'm just upset."

"Well, I for one think you look very pretty ."

"Thank you, Professor." Ari beamed

Mrs. Figg smiled.

"Lets begin. " she said , "In this class i will teach you the proper way to use quills , write proper essays, use proper grammar, and more. I expect you all to know your ABC'S."

"Too bad for Crabbe and Goyle." Draco scoffed trying to get them to laugh.

"That's mean." Tom said turning Ari around before he could say something. "You shouldn't make fun of your friends, Malfoy."

"Today we shall jump right in and begin practicing with Quills. " Mrs. Figg passed quills out. " She then passed out work sheets. "Trace your letters and numbers and I'll walk around correcting your grip. "

Ari did as told he'd never learned how to hold a Quill properly in his other life but Severus had quickly corrected him, Dudley and Petunia and taught them the proper way.

"I see you already know the proper way, Mr. Black and Mr. Riddle." she smiled . She knew these two would be the best. She might be a Squib but she still had these feelings some times. "Did your father teach you , Mr. Black?"

"Yes, Ma'am." Ari smiled at her. "I worked really hard at it. I used to break quills all the time while he was teaching me. "

She chuckled, "Yes, that happens a lot. These quills have unbreakable charms on them though."

"Dad should have done that." Ari giggled.

The Professor smiled.

"10 points to Slytherin, Mr. Black."


Ari heard Ron huff and begin telling Dean and Seamus how he had known Harry Potter. Several kids were soon listening to him tell about how Harry had come over to the Borrow and they had gone hovering on brooms.

Tom watched Ari frown and again position his necklace.

"That's enough!" Mrs. Figg snapped, "I know for a fact that you have never met Harry Potter because I lived near him and saw him on a daily basis that sweet boy knew nothing of Magic. Now you have detention for making up tales tomorrow night at the same time and 10 Points from Gryffindor for lying!"

Ari lowered his hands and got back to work. Tom smirked to himself and sent a thought message to all those he knew played the game at the school. Warning them of Ron and Draco. Ari blinked at him then smiled. Of course he'd heard.

"Now for home work tonight!" Mrs. Figg called, as she passed out work sheets like the ones they'd done that day in class. "You will complete these packets and turn them in tomorrow."

"But!" Ron challenged, "This is at least 10 pages long!"

"You must learn to use your quills properly in a short time because you will be doing a lot of work, Mr. Weasley!" Mrs. Figg lectured. "This is a school after all!"

Ari put his packet in his back pack but was really putting it in his inventory.


Ron and Draco kept attention seeking all day. Weather it was in the Muggles classes, both Ron and Draco complained about having to take them, or the Magical classes, in which they just made fool of themselves, they were loud in their six year old opinions.

Their final class was Potions which they would have to take everyday. Ari was exhausted. He'd only had a few classes with Ron and the Gryffindor's but couldn't escape Draco. He ran into the class room and clung to his daddy's legs as Severus lectured his last year N.E.W.T class. Some of the girls giggled.

"Yes, Ari?"

"Weasley and Malfoy are being annoying and they make it so it is harder to learn. " Ari complained as he was set on his father's desk and kicked his feet. " They never be quiet and say that it is useless for us to learn Muggle subjects because we are Wizard's and Witches. Weasley already has a lot of detentions for Professor Figg because he said I was a freak for dressing in girls clothes then he was bragging how he knew Harry Potter . Professor Figg scolded him saying that she lived close to him and Weasley was lying. He keeps it up though.

Malfoy seems to think because he's a Pure Blood he doesn't need useless Muggle stuff and he said a bad word to Granger. "

"What did he say?" A Ravenclaw girl demanded, though nicely as she handed in her Potion.

"He called her a ..." he looked scared of saying it. " A..."

"Did he say Mudblood?"

Ari gasped.

"We're not supposed to say that." he said, "Daddy says it's a bad word."

"Professor Snape is right!" the girl snapped "That boy needs a good paddling! "

She kept ranting as her friends push/pulled her out of the dungeons.


Severus hugged Ari.

"Where is Tom?" He asked. "I thought he wouldn't leave your side."

"oh, " Ari blushed, "He had to go to the bathroom and said he'd meet me here. "

Severus smiled at the boy but inside he was wondering if a six year playing a game again could have his past selves teenage hormones. So he began asking his little Ari questions. Ari seemed confused about it all and explained he'd never felt sexual feelings toward anyone before so he wouldn't know.

They talked until the class started. Ron glared as he entered Potions. The glare was shot at Ari who was lifted down off Severus' desk and quickly went to where Tom was and sat.

Severus launched into a speech and was soon showing them the proper way to prepare ingredients. Draco was actually paying attention but Ron was once again trying to tell people about how he'd known Harry Potter. Ari was cutting up the ingredients that he'd been given. He was focused even though he knew he could do it in his sleep.

Severus was walking around and he had opted to take a different approach when teaching and explained everything but still managed to be a right bastard.

"Mr. Weasley!" he growled making people jump. "You have not ever known Mr. Potter as my friend Professor Evans is his aunt and told me he died not even knowing about our world! 10 points from Gryffindor! Now start your work!" he paced to the front of the room. " For those of you done preparing your ingredients you may start taking notes. I will collect your notes at the end of each month and they will be a crucial part of your grade. (My choir teacher did this all four years of High school it was really amazing I managed to pass at all as I did not take notes. ) " He smirked as Harry got to work with his notes as did Tom. Draco soon followed. Slowly one by one the students began taking notes. The only ones who didn't finish in time were Ron, Crabbe and Goyle. He'd been shocked that Longbottom had because of the stories Ari had told him about the boy. "Dismissed !"

Ari beamed and took Tom's hand and they headed up to dinner talking about class.


Ari couldn't sleep that night and suggested that the team meet up in the library after curfew.

He ran in pulling Tom behind him. They met with the four adults. Ari quickly ran off to the Restricted Section and came back beaming. Sure enough Hermione was with Dudley looking tired and holding his hand. She was pulling a little pink blanket behind her in her free hand. It looked a lot like the baby blanket Harry had when delivered to the Dursley's in his other game. He concluded that it was her baby blanket.

"Okay, 'Mione." he said shocking all of them , "From now on you are going to become one of the Elite. "

"I am?" she asked taking the book in his hands. "What is it?"

"That my dear friend is Dumbledore's Game book." Ari said they all gave Severus amused smiles when he cursed. " We all play the Game."

"I didn't even think to check there." Severus cursed as the game was explained to the girl. "I thought he had it in the Head's library."

"We found that." Tom said suddenly and everyone looked at him. " This morning when we went hunting for Harry's cloak. We copied all the books and kept the originals. I'm willing to share for a price."

Time suddenly jolted to a stop but didn't really stop at all. They all looked to see Hermione putting her name under Dumbledore's and said man's name going black.

"Oh...my...god..." Harry squealed hugging her. "You just kicked Dumbledore out of the game! I love you!" he grunted as he was pushed to the floor. Dudley and Tom were both glaring. He smirked at them. "As a friend." Both relaxed and Hermione giggled and helped him to his feet. "We are going to have so much fun now! Someone contact Lucius and tell him his son is annoying the hell out of me."

"Ari." Severus said still brooding. "We are telling him that a Muggle born just kicked Dumbledore out of the game."

"That too!" Ari said hyperly, "In the meantime...BOOKS!"

"BOOKS!" Hermione echoed suddenly wide awake .

Tom rolled his eyes and followed his mate as Dudley followed Hermione. He noted Petunia had followed those two but they got the Werewolf.


"Wait so we can access the map now that we touched it?" Sirius was amazed. "You really shouldn't have given that to us as we are teachers. "

"I'm giving the original to the twins." Ari said , "They'll use it for what it was made for."

"I'd rather you didn't." Severus sighed as they tracked up to Gryffindor Tower. Quests were everywhere and he was itching to get a move on them but wasn't about to let four kids go in another Common Room alone. They all had the Maurder's map up." Wait!" they all stopped, "With all we know we can improve the map. Make it so we can have maps of everywhere we've been in this detail. ..."

"I get it." Tuny nodded, "But do we have to have the Original to do it?" She quickly used the HELP option and smiled, "We don't as we are a group we can alter our maps and it will alter everyone elses too. "

"I got the forest." Ari said, "Trust me I know it by heart. "

"I've got the Chamber of Secrets." Tom said, earning stern looks. "I'll take Severus with me."

"Me too!" Ari whined.

"I think we all want to go." Hermione said, "Please take me with you."

"Fine!" Tom sighed, he used the password the map provided and the Fat Lady opened. She was still asleep so it didn't matter. "This is exactly why we don't have a Portrait guarding our Common Room."

Several of them chuckled Ari just went to grabbing anything that was glowing the others quickly joined him.

"Only girls can go up there." Hermione said when Sirius went to go up the Girls side. "I read about it in..."

"Hogwarts , A History." Ari finished "Yes, it's your favorite book."

"It's spooky that you know this whole other me!" she snapped. "So there are only two girls in this group."

"Yes, but you forget Tom and I got into the Head's library. " Ari said, He pulled out his wand and began chanting. A faint glow surrounded the stairs. "We can go up now."

He had fun setting pranks on Lavender and Pavarti and some of the other girls who had annoyed him in his other game and taking what he could get to before the others. They even took to looting trunks. He heard his dad complaining to each student , even though they were asleep, and giving them suggestions as they stole everything. They quickly learned things would respawn so the next in the party could get it but if a rare item appeared the first one to get it got it. Harry surfaced from the Head Girls' trunk cackling which of course brought everyone running to him. Hermione looked scared and half hid behind Petunia.

"Look what I found. " He beamed, holding out a chalice. "A Head Girl with a Dark Item!"

Severus, Tom and Sirius whistled.

"Will that thing respawn?" Sirius asked and Ari nodded. He let them read the letter attached. "It's a real one!" Sirius cried snatching only to get burnt. Ari beamed catching it. " Dammit give me that Chalice!"

"It's mine!"

"You already found your mate!" Sirius and Ari ended up having a fun around Gryffindor Tower with spells flying . In the end Ari won by finally managing to turn Sirius into a snail. He went back to the Head Girl's rooms to take her wand. That would respawn too. Since they'd gotten each girls wand. They then did the same on the boy's side. Ari set the map under George's pillow with a note. Then as his last act pranked Ron .

They then did the same for the Hufflepuff, Slytherin and Ravenclaw Common Rooms. Ari took great fun in pranking Draco. They went into every office and explored Hogwarts and the grounds in full. They even went to the Chamber and Ari and Tom had great fun talking to the Basilisk. Which Tom, Sirius and Remus left to return to the forest it had come from since only Parslemouths could get in it really wasn't needed.

They were about to start questing when cried out. They all ran to find him. He was standing in a corridor somewhere in the dungeons. They had found many rooms that no one had ever discovered. Ari was standing in another such room. Drool almost coming out of his mouth.

"I did it!" He cheered, "It's the Founder's Library!"

He and Hermione made a break for the shelves before anyone stopped them.
