Previously:

Salazar read the other letters, the ones on his lordship disappearing back to the vault (though he didn't need to read it), learning that Lilli, Bella and Andromeda were the female equivalent of the Marauders but with no names (Salazar smirked at their Slytherin ability to put the blame on the Marauders), learning more about the disappearance of Iris, the secret meetings with Petunia, how no one though that Iris existed due to Dumbledore, how Lilly and James were manipulated by Dumbledore, how Bella took the mark to spy on Voldemort (how he was disgusted at how he thought he was his heir! His heir died in 1980, the only one he considered his heir was in the room across from him. That boy was just a mere descendant!), how the Marauders pranked everyone like he and his fellow Founders did, but to a lesser extreme.

He fell asleep knowing what he would do for now on. Oh, how he couldn't wait for September 1, when his reign of terror will descend onto Hogwarts School For Witchcraft and Wizardry.

It had been a long month since his eventful 'birthday'. He enjoyed reading all of the letters, even the new ones from all of his acquaintances. After he woke himself up, he had introduced Iris to Petunia and Calix, who were surprised by this newest revelation. Though a visit to the latest portrait of the Potters cleared up the air about it, while getting Iris her first glimpse at some semblance of her late parents and twin brother. Lilly and James had thanked Salazar greatly for this, which made the old man smile at them.

Then, Salazar had taken her to Wands and Foci, which Iris tried to get away from due to what she heard of Knockturn Alley. Salazar had to carry her and place her and him under a Notice-Me-Not Charm, so no one noticed him carrying the struggling girl to the wand shop. After calming her down in the shop, he called out to Horus and dropped the charm. Due to his silver-tongue, Horus reluctantly agreed to making her a custom wand and they set to work. Her wand was 13 " made of a red Cypress wood with a Billywig Stinger core. The handle was gold with Rubies imbedded into the gold. Definitely a Gryffindor like James Salazar immediately thought, just by remembering what the wand core told him. Billywig Stingers as a wand core means the person was mischievous, a prankster. The core is usually present in a Hufflepuff or Gryffindor wand. And considering her personality from the few hours he observed her, she would be a Gryffindor.

After that, he introduced Iris to the practice sessions he taught to the two Evans. He revised their spell work, so they know what to do and so Iris could learn the same way they did. He found her affinity was into Charms and Transfiguration, which was not surprising considering who her parents are. He taught them all the basics for Iris' benefit, and helped them improve their techniques of how they performed their spells.

3 weeks before the new school year started, he invited Sirius and Bella over to stay for the remaining few weeks to help teach them their speciality. They both agreed immediately, and they took over Defence Against the Dark Arts (Bellatrix) and Animagus Training (Sirius). When they were introduced to the course of the latter, they gasped as Sirius turned into a grim and Salazar turned into a Quetzalcoatl, a snake able to fly as well as slither. Salazar smirked at their reactions and began to hiss a laugh. After Iris shouted for him to stop, Salazar laughed more as he confirmed that the young girl was indeed his descendant. He transformed back and smirked as Sirius gave a dog equivalent to a grin. Salazar presented them the Animagus Potion, which he already made and placed under statis 10 years ago and stored them in the potion room of this manor before becoming 'Hadrian Potter'. But like he was requested to, he roped Bella into teasing Sirius and Petunia about their crush whenever they could, which frustrated them both. What pained them more was when Calix and Iris joined in, which nearly made Sirius kill Bella and Salazar, though he was his 'Godfather'.

Whenever he had the chance, he tried to contact Remus Lupin to come and see his goddaughter, but he hadn't replied to them. He opened them alright, a well placed and obscured charm was on it to tell if it was opened, but no replies at all. This frustrated Sirius as he did the same thing, even asking to put the charm on it so they would be notified if it was opened by the recipient, but he didn't answer. Iris didn't know this was happening, as she practiced her magic with Calix.

After 3 weeks of vigorous training, it was the 1st of September, and Salazar was making sure that everyone was ready. Petunia, Sirius and Bellatrix will apparated with Calix, Salazar and Iris respectively in that order, as Salazar was meant to be 11, so he disguised himself as 'Hadrian Potter'. Iris gasped at the sight of her 'brother' in his public form, immediately hugging him. Thankfully, Iris and the rest were taught Occlumency, so she remembered to call Sal 'Harry', or 'Brother' when founded out.

After getting everything ready, they apparated to Platform 9 , which Sirius taught Petunia and got her her licence for it a few days ago. Salazar smiled at Iris and ran, with his 'sister' behind him trying to catch him. He jumped onto the train, before he dupped her and ran out, so he could say goodbye to the three adults and his 'cousin'. Calix hugged him, intending to not let go.

"Cal, I will be back for the Christmas with my friends. You will have another uncle and two aunts to say goodbye to then," Salazar whispered as he hugged the boy back like an uncle and dad would, the tears dripping from the boy's eyes.

"H-Have fun, Uncle," Calix cried softly to Salazar, causing said man hug back once more and let go. He was then hugged by Bellatrix and Sirius, who he hugged back like a mentor and friend would. He did the same to Petunia, hugging her like a brother would. He then spotted Iris running at him and he dodged, causing her to hugged Petunia like the wolf she was.

"Goodbye, Uncle! Aunties! Cousin!" Iris cried as she hugged said people, before trying to get Salazar. He laughed as he sprinted onto the train, watching as Iris struggled to keep up. He ran into a empty compartment and closed the door. He laughed as Iris nearly ran by, as he placed their trunks on the trunk rack. He climbed up on a whim and laid down as Iris burst in, looking up at the old man with a enraged look. She closed the door and he placed a silencing and privacy charms onto the compartment.

"Uncle! Why did you run away from me?!" Iris shouted, reminding him of Lilly reprimanding James and Sirius for 'endangering' him when Prongs gave him a ride. Salazar cringed as Lilly's infamous anger presented itself in her daughter.

"You know, you need to activate you shields before I do anything," Salazar said simply, making the girl more mad at him before raising her shields up, keeping her emotions under control.

"Why?" Iris asked again, her face calm and eyes narrowed in contained anger. Salazar smirked as he looked out the door and window, before facing her.

"To make people think that I was raised a happy 'Boy-Who-Lived'," Salazar said simply, making Iris groan loudly after a few minutes trying to figure out what he meant.

"You are manipulating people, and trying to mess with Dumbledore, are you not?" Iris asked, eyes still narrowed. Salazar smirked more, neither confirming or declining the notion from his place in the rack. Iris shook her head as opened her bag, getting her book on Animagus transformations and reading it. Salazar smirked as she read her book.

A week ago came as a surprise for Calix, Petunia, Bellatrix, Iris and himself. After they, excluding him and Sirius, took the potion, they revealed their Animagus form. Iris was a wolf, Calix was a Lion, Bellatrix a Crow, and Petunia was a tiger, like Lilly was. Then, Sirius pranked Salazar by slipping said Animagus Potion into his coffee and Salazar then saw his Animagus form as well as another form. A Shadow Panther, Salazar deduced, and when Salazar came out of the effects and began to hex Sirius, which caused everyone to laugh at the poor Grim's misery at the rage of the Quetzalcoatl.

After effectively lying about only have the one form, he spent a few days away from the others to 'Calm down'. What they didn't know was that he was working on his new Animagus form, which was easy due to his experience with his mind and Animagi transformations. He had completed the training for the shadow panther form, but he instructed the others to stop with the training for Animagi and go on with the other training. He would personally see that he taught Iris at school, but on everything else with his friends.

As he pulled his book on Dark Arts out and began to read it, the door bang open, which made Iris jump and look up. Salazar kept reading his book, only to find himself on the floor painfully and with a familiar face above him. He blinked twice before pushing the face away, pulling out his wand at the person. The person was a girl with long, silky black hair, a thin regal face with calculating sapphire blue. She wore the Hogwarts first year uniform with a book bag on her shoulder. The girl was also pointing her wand at him, before Salazar recognising the wand.

"Thank you for that delightful welcome, my Raven," Salazar sarcastically said as he watched the girl, who smirked back.

"You were ignoring me, my Snake. What else should I have done, huh?" The girl said back with a young, intelligent voice, Iris watching on in interest.

"Oh, I don't know. Maybe not making me fall from high places for starters," the Serpent Lord snarked, making the girl giggle.

"Come on, Sal! At least it was me and not 'Ric," the girl gave a fact, which only they understood as Salazar grimaced.

"Yeah, I am extremely lucky, Ro," Salazar said sarcastically as the girl giggle.

"Well, since I have said hello, care to introduce me to this young girl?" the girl asked, making Salazar glare at her before sighing.

"Iris Lily Evans, meet the Founder of Ravenclaw and someone I call a sister in all but blood, Rowena Aquila Ravenclaw," Salazar said as he wove the Privacy and Notice-Me-Not charms up as he introduced Iris to the girl.

"R-Rowena R-Ravenclaw?! Uncle Sal told me a bit about his pranks that you, he and the other two did a century ago!" Iris exclaimed, making Rowena giggle.

"I bet he did it willingly, huh?" Rowena said with a smirk, as said person began reading his book.

"Actually, I did Ro. Now, if the others come by, please reset the charms as I only just replaced them after you teared them down," Salazar growled as he glared at the Founder of the Eagles with enough venom to put a basilisk to shame. Rowena, however, smirked as she opened her bag and pulled out a book on charms.

"Of course, my Snake," Rowena said cheekily, which made him groan as he climbed back up to the rack and began to read again from his Dark Arts bag. Iris began to talk to Rowena about charms, which made their talk turn to the lessons Salazar was giving her and her extended family during the summer as well as him adopting her under a different name. Rowena began to talk about what Salazar taught her when the door bang opened again as the wards were geared down, which caused Salazar to hiss at the two intruders with a venomous look.

The two was a male and woman with looked like the Founders of the Snakes and Eagles in regal looks. The male had messy red hair, lean features, wore the school male uniform and had a set of deep reddish-brown eyes that were laughing with mirth at the look Salazar gave him and the woman. The woman was regal like Rowena with long curly brown hair, a radiant smile, the female uniform and eyes that drew you into their dirty yellow depth.

"What's wrong, Sal? I thought you would be happy to see us?" The male said, making Rowena, Iris and the girl beside him laugh at the innocent greeting. Salazar's eyes narrowed into slits of venom as he glared at the male.

"I would be if you didn't rip down my wardsss! I already had to reapply them oncce due to Rowena and that wasss painful, now you both did it at the sssame time and it wasss double the pain," Salazar hissed as elongated the s' as he turned back to his book, ignoring the apologies from the two new occupants of the room.

"Hello 'Ric and Hel," Rowena greeted as they calmed down, gaining the two's attention.

"Hello again, Ro. At least you are not in a bad mood," the female said as she sat down besides her, before looking at the girl.

"Hello, who are you?" The male asked, making Iris gulp.

"It's ok Iris. These two are the Founders of the Lions and the Badgers, Helga Melis Hufflepuff and Godric Leo Gryffindor," Rowena said to the nervous red haired girl.

"'Ric and Hel, this is Iris Lily Evans. Though how you are connected to Sal, I don't know," Rowena ended with a pensive thought, making Godric look at Salazar with a grin.

"Did I hear right, Sal? You adopted a girl?" The Lion Founder inquired not so subtly, making Salazar glare at him. He glanced at Iris and smiled softly, but everyone saw it.

"Yes, but so she could be part of her extended family. I am an Uncle to her due to a blood adoption. It makes us blood-brothers, you bloody Gryffindor," Salazar said calmly, making Godric grin more.

"I finally have a brother! Yes!" Godric shouted, making everyone but Salazar laugh.

"Ok, brother, if that is what you want," Salazar simply said, but everyone knew he was up to something.

Just as he turned back to his book, the door opened again and a brown maned girl walked in.

"Has anyone seen a toad? A boy named Neville has lost his," the girl said, peaking Salazar's interest.

"Neville, as in Neville Longbottom, Heir of the House Of Longbottom," Salazar asked, making the girl look up at him in a condescending matter.

"I suppose so, for the heir bit. But yes, have you seen his toad?" the girl asked, making Salazar frown. She had no manners, not even introducing herself or knocking on the door. Salazar pulled out his wand, which interested the girl as she eyes the custom-made wand.

"Accio Neville Longbottom'sss toad!" Salazar hissed softly in parseltongue as a toad appeared in his hands after flying through the door.

"This toad, I presume?" Salazar asked innocently, making Godric laugh at the Serpent Lord. Salazar glared at the King of Lions, who grinned back.

"Yes! What spell was that? I never read of a spell like that," the girl once again to forgo the introduction as Salazar looked down at her, eyes full of annoyance.

"Your name?" Salazar said pointedly, making everyone in the compartment gulp at the annoyance in his tone.

"My name is Hermione Granger. What is yours?" Granger bluntly said, making Rowena wince at Salazar annoyance.

"Hadrian Potter, Ms Granger," Salazar said shortly, as Hermione squealed.

"The Harry Potter. I read all about you, you know," The girl said, ignoring the others as she studied the 'Boy-Who-Lived' in front of her.

"Ahem, Ms Hermione. The others were about to introduce themselves to you before you cut them off," Salazar pointed out, his annoyance becoming more pronounce. Hermione stopped herself before sitting down uninvited, looking at the others expectantly.

"Hello, I am Iris Evans. Nice to meet you, Ms Granger," Iris said with a controlled voice which came from Salazar drilling it into her from day one.

"Igor Cord," Godric introduced himself tensely, watching Salazar from his seat as the Snake watched the group below him.

"Carol Wenan," Rowena said as calmly as she could, making sure Salazar didn't explode.

"Elga Heffhul," Helga said kindly, unlike the others.

"Nice to meet you all, so anyway, Harry –," Hermione started before Salazar cuts her off again.

"Ms Granger, I will like you to call me either Potter or Mr Potter. I never allowed you to call me by my first name. Just remember that," Salazar curtly said, only for Godric to grin.

"What about me, Harry? Do me and our friends have to call you that?" Godric asked, trying to look innocent at the Serpent Lord without much success.

"You know, Igor, I already gave you four and a few others to call me by my first name. But don't push it," Salazar said with a cutting smirk, looking at Hermione as if challenging her to call him Harry again.

"Why not me, Harry? I mean, why don't I get to call you by your name while they can?" Hermione said, which made Salazar groan. Just like that bloody Gryffindor that is sitting below me.

"Get out, Ms Granger. You have disrespected my wishes and are disrespecting the rules we, who grew up in the Wizarding world, grew up with. It is an honour to call someone by their first name, and you have blatantly disrespected our ways. Now, leave and when you do, go find Neville Longbottom so you can return this to him," Salazar said curtly as he handed the toad over to the hurt-looking girl and basically tossed her out of the room with wandless magic. He replaced the wards before calming down, looking down at his friends and, through Lilly, descendant.

"Nice job as always, Uncle Sal," Iris said with a mock applaud, making Salazar grin.

"Ok, Ms Moonsong, want me to provide more entertainment by kicking my fellow Founders out of the room," Salazar said sarcastically with a smirk that usually meant he would do it, but Rowena and Iris laughed. Godric gulped as the smirk was directed at him and Helga grinned and watched as the two opposing house founders began to insult each other, only toned down as Iris was only an impressionable 11 year old.

Iris watched as the train finally reach the station, listening to the insults that she can later use on someone that insults her back. Rowena and Helga watched with pride as the two bickered like siblings would, before Salazar placed a silencing charm on Godric and snatched his wand, silently putting a magic suppressing charm on Godric and made the King of Lions jump in pain as a stinging jinx hit him from Salazar's wand. Godric tried to retaliate with magic, only to fail as the charm worked, and than began to physically fight with the Serpent King, which made the three girls laugh. When Neville walked passed, he began to laugh as his 'god-brother' mocked fought with another boy who appeared to be a friend of his.

"Ahem, we have to disembark. We have arrived at Hogwarts," Neville shouted about the laughter, which caused the source of the laughter to stop fighting.

"I hate you, Harry!" Godric shouted at Salazar, who only smirked.

"You wish you could, Igor. And thanks, Neville. You just save me from the future Gryffindor!" Salazar shouted as he ran, Godric right on his tail with Iris, Rowena, Helga and Neville right behind them both. The chase ended when the approached the group of first years, with a giant calling for them. Salazar groaned as he recognised the half giant, Rebeus Hagrid, as he was the one who gave him to Dumbledore, who placed him on Vernon's doorstep despite the will which he witnessed and signed off but still went against it.

They were lead to the boats, which made the four Founders frown at. This had to be new, as it wasn't done like this 100 years ago. All four, while walking to the boats and lake, introduced themselves to Neville with Salazar's help, and they watched discretely the looks on Granger's and a young boy's faces, looks of anger. The boy, who had red hair, looked angry at all of them.

The Founders had a boat to themselves while Iris and Neville shared a boat with two other children. Then, the boats moved them forward when Hagrid commanded it with his umbrella, and then the four Founders saw why this system was introduced. They got a view of Hogwarts they never seen before. The castle looked foreboding yet mysterious and welcoming all lit up at night. The black water reflected this, and Salazar took note that the squid must still be there as the water rippled below them gentle and a tentacle reached out for the Founders to pet lovingly.

As they crossed the wards, they felt the magic of Hogwarts grow excited at their returned, which made Salazar smile. Especially since she hugged him as desperately as it did the last few times. Especially since his run away a few centuries back due to Godric being an idiot and causing them to fight again.

As they walked up the stairs after ducking and disembarking the boat, they felt the magic of Hogwarts getting more excited as they drew closer to entering her truly again. Iris gasped softly as the magic also hugged her, which made Salazar smile at Hogwarts already protecting her.

Then, Hagrid knocked on the large doors and it opened up to McGonagall looking strictly down on them. She welcomed them and explain about the houses, which made the Founders and Iris tune out from the speech, the Founders hearing it so many times over the last few centuries and Iris hearing it from Salazar and the others. Then, she lead them into a side chamber, which made Salazar want to clean it up from all the dust that clung to the walls. Then, the ghosts came in and immediately began to ramble about Peeves, which made the Founders laugh under their breath. The ghosts caught this but, due to their instructions the first time they returned, simply pretended they didn't know them. Then, they went through the wall as McGonagall came back in to Sort them.

Then, they walked down the Great Hall, Salazar had observed the teachers at the front table, making sure he didn't kept eye contact with any of them, especially Dumbledore and Snape, which he was thankful for as they attempted to get into his mind several times. Neville joined the group, thankfully only a little nervous unlike earlier during the summer where he stuttered. Whenever he could, Salazar helped the boy with his confidence, as he was appalled at what Augusta did to her grandson. And thankfully, he snuck him to Wands and Foci as even he could see that his wand wouldn't do anything to help him. In fact, it would restrict him greatly. Horus was getting frustrated, but once he heard the reason, made him a wand that looked like Frank's wand, as he learned later. His wand was 13" made of Chestnut wood with a Jobberknoll Tail Feather core. The handle was bronze with a Onyx gems imbedded in the handle. However, Salazar asked the Wand and Foci maker to imbed a illusion into the wand so it looked like Frank's wand unless you know the truth.

Then, McGonagall placed the Sorting Hat down on a stool and subtly glared at Godric, who couldn't stop grinning at the hat that belong to him.

"I still hate that bloody hat of yours, 'Ric," Salazar hissed to Godric, the King of Lion's grin now turned to the Serpent Lord.

"I know, Sal," Godric hissed back, making Salazar glare at him like a snake would.

"Cord, Igor," McGonagall called out, making the Founder of Lions walk up to the hat and placed it on his head, his grin still in plain view. Salazar then felt the connection between him and his fellow founders open up, all of them in Godric's mind.

"Really, Godric," Rowena said, clearly agitated at the move. Helga and Salazar chuckle at this, as Godric grinned more.

"Stop grinning, it will permanently be stuck on your face," Salazar hissed, making the King of Lions pout.

Hmmm… you know, you remind me of my owner. Courageous, brave, hot-headed, along with the edge that comes to battle. The hat said and Salazar, Rowena and Helga remained hidden from the hat's probes, smirking all the while.

Why, thank you Sebastian! Godric shouted, releasing the shields around his mind to give the hat a shock. The hat yelled out 'GRYFFINDOR!', before ranting mentally as Godric broke the connection and sat down at his table. Rowena and Helga looked at Salazar as they held their mirth in, making Neville and Iris look at each other.

"Evans, Iris," McGonagall called out again after a while, making Iris squeak before walking up to the hat, while Salazar looked at Severus Snape, who looked heartbroken in his eyes but a sneer was ever present on his face. Salazar chuckled mentally at this as the girl who looked like Lilly placed the hat on her head. After a few minutes, Sebastian finally called out 'GRYFFINDOR!' and the girl made her way over to Godric and sat down next to him.

After a few more names, McGonagall called out 'Granger, Hermione' and she was sorted into Gryffindor as well, making Salazar having to put his shields up higher as to suppress a growl that came from his black panther side.

"Heffhul, Elga?" The Deputy called out as Helga came up, putting on Sebastian and the connection opened up again, making Salazar laugh at Rowena shouting at Helga, Godric also laughing. Then, everyone but Helga disguised themselves from the probes as the Hat sorted Helga. When the Lady of Badgers revealed herself, the hat shouted out 'HUFFLEPUFF!' In surprise and began to curse Helga and Godric under its breath as Helga joined her table.

After a few more names again, 'Longbottom, Neville' was called up and the boy was placed in 'GRYFFINDOR!', the boy sitting across from Godric and making sure he was away from Hermione who wanted to talk to them.

'Malfoy, Draconis' was called out and Salazar watched with hidden glee as the young boy was sorted into his own house, which allowed him to help the young boy out easily. He heard the red haired swear under his breath as he swore at Draco as he sat down.

After a bit of waiting, making Salazar and Rowena inpatient, 'Potter, Hadrian' was called out. Show time Salazar thought with glee as he walked up.

After Salazar's sorting

As Salazar sat down at the table, Draco immediately roped him into introducing himself to his friends.

"Hello, I am Hadrian Potter," Salazar introduced himself, portraying himself as the Pureblood he was. The boy across from him smirked, while keeping his cold persona.

"Blaise Zabini, Potter. Nice to meet you this day," the boy introduced himself, his dark black hair neat and blue eyes cold yet sparkling with mischievous intent.

"It is nice to meet you This Day, Mr Zabini," Salazar said properly, shaking the young boy's hand as he was introduced to Daphne Greengrass, Tracy Davis, Vincent Crabbe, Gregory Goyle and Theodore Nott. Then, he felt his mind connecting with Rowena so he looked at the sorting with a feign look of interest, which confused them as they looked at 'Wenan, Carol'.

Ro, Ro, Ro. Every time we do it, you get pissed off at us yet you do it to us? Hypocrisy there Salazar said smugly, gaining support from Helga and Godric.

You do it when I wasn't ready. Why should I? Rowena asked, before the four felt the probes touch them.

There you four are! I still hate you, Salazar you slippery Serpent Lord! Sebastian shouted, making everyone laugh as Salazar smirk.

What? I couldn't help BUT want to do it Salazar said simply, making Godric attempt to hit his shade, which failed as it went through him.

Still! You do that every single time you come back! The hat shouted at him, making the Serpent Lord smirk back mischievously.

Why do you THINK we come back for, hm? I though we do it so we could prank the bodies of students and teachers for 7 years straight? Salazar wondered, making everyone laugh, even the Hat.

I do like the way the Headmasters and Headmistresses look as their school gets pranked, especially since they never found out who did it! Anyway, I AM supposed to be sorting Rowena into her HOUSE! The hat said as he called out 'RAVENCLAW!', making the house of eagles cheer as Rowena joined them. Salazar softly clapped, making the first year Slytherins look at him. He gave them a 'what?' look as he watched the Eagle Lady sit down at her table. He then saw Godric glaring at the red haired boy from earlier, who was called Ronald Weasley, as he held Iris as if protecting her from him. Salazar felt anger swelling at the boy, and discreetly sent a curious probe to Godric.

Tell you tonight when we meet up, Sal came the pissed off reply from Godric, making Salazar's anger go up behind his shields. Then Dumbledore came up to the stage as McGonagall took the stool and Sebastian away, making the Serpent Lord smirk at its pout.

"Welcome!" Dumbledore called out merrily, which made Salazar frown along with the other Slytherins. At least there are those with common sense Salazar thought as he mentally applauded them.

"Welcome to a new year at Hogwarts! Before we begin our banquet, I would like to say a few words. And here they are: Nitwit! Blubber! Oddment! Tweak!" He proclaimed as the food appeared. Salazar frowned more, watching as his fellow Founders and the young children he cared for frowned as well at the final words. He put a slight less then average amount of food on his plate, more vegetable than meats and the other stuff. He began to eat, placing the connection up for the others to join on their own will while still looking attentive.

Rowena immediately joined, Salazar sighing at that.

What? Don't want me here? Rowena asked, feigning pain in her mind waves.

Not you. At least I don't have to deal with the insanity of that Bloody Gryffindor Salazar said back, hearing Rowena's laughter at that comment.

Uncalled for, Salazar! How am I insane to you? Godric pouted mentally, making Rowena and Salazar laugh at his complaining tone.

'Ric, calm down! You know they are just stirring you up Helga said, making the Serpent Lord and the Eagle Lady to slightly cut off the connection, as if to turn down the volume. Helga began to reprimand them which was a whisper in their mind as they glanced at each other with pained looks. A angry look from Helga silently sealed their doom when they meet up later that night. Godric only grinned at them both with glee at their situation, making their guts churn more. Salazar then felt the connection to only Rowena open and he accepted it, grateful for the whispers of pain to dull to a hum. Rowena also sighed, as the two calmed down from the excitement.

You'd think after 100 years, her lungs will become less powerful Salazar complained, cutting off the connection to the group link completely.

Try a Millenia, Sal Rowena drily replied, making the Serpent Lord and the Eagle Lady groan in unison. Salazar disconnected from the link, eating some of the deserts while taking to Draco and his friends about the next day, the first day of classes. After the food disappeared, Dumbledore stood up and the action completely silenced the room.

"Ahem – just a few more words now that we all feed and watered. I have a few start-of-term notices to give you," Dumbledore started, making Salazar grow bored and began looking over what he read about some potions he read in the books he got from the vaults.

"- And finally, I must tell you this year, the third-floor corridor on the right-hand side is out of bounds to everyone who does not wish to die a painful death." Was the first thing that Dumbledore said that caught the Serpent Lord's attention, making him groan internally along with his other Founders.

What is he doing? Why is he telling the students about the news in that manner? He should know from experience that children if warned not to do something will do it anyway was his thought process before the others began singing the school song. He reviewed the notice when he saw that Dumbledore's eyes were on him as he said the threat.

More things to talk about tonight Salazar said as he asked Hogwarts to obscure him and those with them for the night from Albus and any others crying techniques. He then stood up with his house and year mates and followed the prefects to the Slytherin Common Room. As they walked, Salazar frowned as they walked passed the entrance, walking down into the crypt that was known as the dungeons. Odd Salazar thought as the group stopped in front of a wall, a barely seen craving of a snake ingrained onto the stone. Salazar quickly placed a Silencing Charm around himself and the entrance wall, and, discretely, began to hiss.

"I am Sssalazar Anguisss Ssslytherin, Lord of the Mossst Noble and Ancient houssse of Ssslytherin and Founder of Houssse Ssslytherin and Co-Founder of Hogwartsss. Open up immediately," Salazar said in Parseltongue, scaring everyone as the door showing and opening itself without anyone saying the password. As the group entered, Salazar was surprised that his former living quarters along with his fellow Founders and teachers, made up the Slytherin Common Room and Dormitories. And he must say, the style was a style that the Snake Lord appreciated very much.

"Alright, first years, gather around the fireplace and we will start from there," a girl shouted, Salazar sitting himself near Malfoy and his friends with a couple of other first years between them. "Welcome to Slytherin House. I am prefect Jamie Pearse and this is my fellow prefect Alexander Thompson. Shortly, we will be joined by our Head of Slytherin House, Professor Snape, who will go over the house rules," the girl said with the male next to her stepped forward.

"But I will like to add that you can come to either me or Jamie when in need of help, like in homework or Inter-House problems with the other 3 houses, especially the Gryffindors," Thompson said as Pearse nodded, walking to the nearest wall as Severus Snape walked in with his robes practically flowing behind him. Let's see if the rules have changed from my last visit Salazar though as he paid attention to the greasy-haired man.

"Good Evening, and I will like to welcome you, young snakes, to our Nest. I am Professor Snape, Head of Slytherin House and Potions Master of Hogwarts as well as Potions Professor. The first rule is when we are outside of this common-room and the dormitories, you will appear as one, united, family. The second rules is that any disputes between you and other members of Slytherin will be settled inside of this common-room, as elsewhere we will appear as weak to the other 3 houses. Third rule, and the most important one, if doing something against the rules of the school, don't get caught," Professor Snape said with a small voice that caught everyone's attention. He then nodded to Thompson and Pearse before leaving the room through the door.

"Ok, males go with Prefect Thompson while females come with me," Pearse said as she lead the females through a door to the right of Salazar's older form while Thompson walked into the door on the portrait's left. The portrait and Salazar smirked as they caught each other's eyes, which no one caught. Then, after walking up a few steps, stopped at the top of it.

"First year, you will all gain a room to yourselves, which you can customise to your heart's desires. Even make it bigger, it won't affect the person next door to yours. But, be warned. You can't access the girls dormitories but they can access yours. Be careful what you lay about. If you need me, walk up until you find a door with 'Alexander Jae Thompson' on it, that is my room. Every year you progress, you will have to walk to the next level as the new first years sleep on this level. Understood?" Thompson inquired, gaining a nod from the boys. Salazar then entered the nearest room to the exit, the door to his room showing the name Hadrian James Potter (S.A.S) on it's spruce surface, to the other's confusion.

The room he entered instantly became his style of room curtesy of Hogwarts and her memory of his style. It became identical to the room he had at Potter Mansion, but with a potion room of to the side so he could brew his potions. He then placed a Notice-Me-Not Charm on himself keyed to everyone in Hogwarts except his fellow founders and his sister. He snuck out of the room, making everyone think he fell asleep by transfiguring his pillow into a near-perfect duplicate of him under the covers and appearing to be breathing and had a heart-beat. He then snuck out of the Slytherin Dormitory and made his way towards the entrance of his Chamber of Secrets, which he would have to visit her sometime soon. It was chosen as their meeting spot, which made it easier to be near her.

He finally made it to see Rowena waiting, clearly waiting for everyone else.

"Thank Merlin and Morgana it's you, Sal! I was sure Helga would be the first to be here after me!" Rowena exclaimed AFTER Salazar placed silencing wards up.

"To be honest, I thought she would be here before or after us two would be here so she can fully flush us out with her rants," Salazar murmured, before the door opened up again. The Founders of Ravenclaw and Slytherin both froze when Helga's magic filled the air from behind them. Behind the magic of the Queen of Badgers was the gleeful magic of the King of Lions' magic as if waiting for the Serpent Lord and the Eagle Lady to be chewed out thoroughly, maybe.

"H-Hello, H-Helga," Rowena stuttered as she turned around, only to see the gleeful look on BOTH Founders of Gryffindor and Hufflepuff before she was hugged by both. Salazar also turned around and backed off but couldn't escape Godric's brotherly hug.

"You Bloody Gryffindor! Let me go!" Salazar shouted, only succeeding in making Godric hug him more and bellowing. Rowena also couldn't escape Helga, before the two let go of the two founders that were hugged. Helga received an cold look while Godric received a kick in the guts, a punch to the genitals and his arse hitting the ground. He groaned in pain as he held his manhood while Rowena and Helga laughed, Salazar smirking down at him with glee and mischief.

"That was for those fights from the past that caused me to leave the castle two times. You earned more than that, but that was me being merciful," Salazar said, making Godric's eyes bulge in slight horror before standing up, Helga casting a healing spell at him just in case.

"I did deserve that, at least thanks for going easy on me Sal," Godric said, making the smirk go down to a small smile.

"Of course, brother. Anyway, should we stay up here or visit her in the chambers?" Salazar asked, gaining the vote to stay up here. He conquered and made a chair appear, three more appearing as the four sat down.

"Any plans for what we can do, my family?" Godric asked, gaining a smirk that promised pain from Salazar. Helga and Rowena gulped as Salazar raised his hand.

"Indeed, and it involves a certain manipulative headmaster who I consider a Bloody Gryffindor and his little surprise…" They then began to talk about all the pranks for the foreseeable future, though Salazar had to calm down when Godric explain what happen between him, Iris and Weasley at the table. It took all three not to go to the Gryffindor Tower and kill the red haired boy for hurting his 'niece'.
