All was silent except for the lightly whispered comments from the students that sat at their house tables. The roof was a deep black and sprinkled with stars to represent the night sky outside, and candles flickered above all the students as they waited to see which house would get more students.

The Hufflepuff table on the far left side that faced the head table, were all sat stiff and excited, and they burst with hope that more people were about to join and recognize their houses greatness. At the Gryffindor table however students could be seen pointing and talking to one another about how small and tiny the new first years were, and even a couple of red heads taking bets on where they'd go.

The Ravenclaw students all cast glances around them, most of them were absorbed in the early study they decided they needed to do. While a few discussed probability on where the first years would go based off of looks and what they did while they waited. Then lastly the Slytherines sat primped and proper and didn't make a single comment or whisper and kept straight faces, they showed a complete indifference to what was about to happen.

The first years squirmed at the front of the hall, intimidated by being stood front and center in front of the whole school and staff. The only sound to be heard from them was a short red headed boy that complained lowly about how his brothers had said that he'd have to fight a troll, and this brought a chuckle form the headmaster, which in turn made the boys ears go red.

The Deputy Headmistress stepped out from a door leading off the hall, and with her she brought out a small wooden stool and beaten old hat that she set down between the first years and the head table. She then pulled a scroll from a pocket within her emerald green robes, and cleared her throat before she opened the scroll and started the sorting.

The seven time traveling students didn't little attention to who was sorted where as it was exactly the same as last time and only looked interested when Susan was called up.

"Bones, Susan," McGonagall said loudly.

Susan strode from her spot next to Hermione and gingerly sat on the stool, the hat was then placed on her head where it slid down to cover her eyes.

"Ah, yes Ms. Bones, I have been waiting for the moment when I'd get to sort you again, and this time I've been given special orders." The hat said coolly in her mind.

She startled at the hat knowing about her time traveling," What do you mean, who gave you orders?" she asked frantically, afraid that dangerous people knew and that she'd have to get the others out quickly.

"Calm down, you're perfectly safe," the hat chuckled," from me anyway, I have been waiting for this since Hogwarts was founded."

"What do you mean, how?" Susan asked confused and anxious.

"If you insist on knowing, Rowena Ravenclaw was a very powerful seer when she was alive, and got dozens of visions over many years, and saw that with out certain help you would fail and the world would suffer for it, so she decided to take action." The hat said mysteriously.

"What how do we f-," Susan was interrupted though so didn't get to ask.

"You seven will lead the world to greatness, but only if you are given the right tools, so me and the castle are at your complete service, there is also very important information you must know, all of you must meet with me immediately in private after the sorting. "the hat finished.

"Wait what do yo-" but she never got to finish as it yelled Ravenclaw and sent her off to the Ravenclaw table.

She sat at the table and tried to look like the average eleven year old being at Hogwarts for the first time but she had trouble doing so, her mind was stuck on what the hat said. So when Anthony sat next to her she startled violently and her knees hit the table, this made everyone look at her and she flushed brightly while Anthony sniggered at her.

Susan glared at him," Did the hat talk to you?" she asked as Hermione sat down on his other side, she noticed that he didn't seem bothered by anything.

Anthony gave her weird look, "Besides the usual nattering it does on where to put you?" he said somewhat sarcastically, "Nope, why?" he asked

She shook her head lightly, and took notice that they were all sat around the table, and the Headmaster was calling for attention, that seemed awfully quick, Susan thought as she listened to the opening speech before the food popped into existence on the table and she dug in with everyone else.

The hall was full of useless chatter, and the only thing getting talked about at their table was studies. Even the other first years were only talking about what they've already studied, and it was driving Seamus insane to the point where he laid his head down and covered his ears very over dramatically with some dinner rolls, even Hermione looked peeved by the constant school talk.

Finally after countless minutes of talk over what the first year would hold for them the food disappeared from the table and Dumbledore called for attention before he sent them all off to bed.

On the way to the common room Susan tried to discuss with the others what the Hat had said, but the prefect in charge of showing them to their common room kept telling her to shush and asked if she had to add something, which made her keep quiet. When they finally got to the Ravenclaw common room she tried to talk to them again, but they were immediately sent off to their dorms, so extremely irate she was lead to her dorm.

The dorms were set up so four students were put in each dorm room and the students got to decide who they wanted to room with. For the girls Mandy Brocklehurst, Sue Li, Padma Patil, and Lisa Turpin took one room which left Luna, Hermione, and Susan to take up the other room working out so that they didn't need to share with any other girls.

The boys dorm was set up the same so Harry, Seamus, Anthony, and Blaise immediately parried together which left Terry Boot and Michael Corner no choice but to room together, and all the boys got ready for bed.

Hermione and Luna however were being pushed form their new dorm after everyone in the Ravenclaw dorms had got into bed, by an irritated Susan that said they needed to get the boys for an important meeting with out giving any other context.

Hermione dug her heels into the carpet which jerked Susan to halt," What are you on about?" she asked irritated," we already discussed everything we can do at the moment on the train, what is so important that it has to be done this very moment?"

"The Hat knows about us coming back in time and said we need to all meet with it pronto. "she said frustrated," and I want to know why it only said this to me though, but can anyway can we please go, I am getting very tired and irritated," she paused as Luna and Hermione pondered the new development," I'm sorry about being pushy, but that prefect just really rubbed me the wrong way."

" None taken," said Luna as she started to head for the common room and towards then the boys dorm, "come on lets go get the others."

The common room was a large oval shaped room done up in deep blue colors, it had many book shelves placed about the room and dozens of cushy plush arm chairs done up in black and bright blue placed next to them. Along the left side set between two bookshelves sat a huge fire place with a luxurious couch set in front of it, and the entire floor was covered in a thick light blue shag rug that felt marvelous to walk around on your bare feet.

On the left side of the of the fireplace next to the book shelf was a hallway that lead off to the boys dorm and on the right side of the fireplace was the girls. Five feet into the hallways, stairs were set up and lead seven floors up each one belonging to one year, starting form first year and going up, and all the dorms looked the same.

All the dorms had four queen sized beds, each had three pillows, a heavy comforter, and hangings done in blue like everything else in Ravenclaw. Besides each bed was a desk and chair for them to do their school work at, and a dresser to hold all of their clothes and other possessions, and they all had the same carpet as the common room. There are bathrooms set up in each dorm, four cubicles holding a separate sink and a toilet for each student, along with two showers set up for them all to share.

"You know," Hermione said quietly," when you really think about it, it's no wonder nobody notices anything, in a place as relaxing this, set up with so many books and chairs built to keep you comfortable, it makes you wonder why Ravenclaw's even leave the common room."

" Rowena Ravenclaw believed that students learned best in a setting where they were at complete comfort." Luna said as they got to the boys dorm and found the one with their friends name on the door, and she knocked lightly.

"I love Hufflepuffs common room but I doubt it will every be anywhere near as comfortable looking as Ravenclaw's." Susan whispered as the door was pulled open by Anthony who was clad in bright blue sweat pants and a pale green T-shirt.

Mild surprised to see them Anthony," Hey, what are you guy-," but he paused when they all got the image of the Hufflepuff common room.

It looked as if a bomb had gone off, blankets were every where, dozens of beds were placed around the common, and practically every pillow in the school was stacked in middle, and on them sat a grown up Harry and Luna playing poker.

Luna shoved Anthony out of the way when all he did was stare at her, and the others followed her in and Anthony shut the door behind them. Everyone just looked from Harry and Luna for a moment, before Blaise dressed in silk green pajamas decided to ask the obvious questions in all of their heads.

" Okay first, what are you doing here, and second what was with the that image of you to playing cards in a completely destroyed room, where even were you?" he asked slightly confused.

"That," Susan croaked out before they could answer," Is the Hufflepuff common, what the hell did you two do to it, it looked like a mess, and why did we even get that memory?" she looked borderline furious at them for the mess they had made of her old houses common room.

"You said that the Hufflepuff common room would never compare to the Ravenclaw's on comfort and it brought back to memory how me and Harry lived their when we were unable to leave." Luna said defensively.

Seamus has curious look on his face as he said," So wait, let me get this straight, every time one of us remembers something everyone else sees the memory?" he stood from his bed and pulled his red shirt down further over his brown sweats," like, it doesn't even have to be an important memory?"

" I suppose so, since we just got Luna's memory of what they did to the common room." Hermione said as she sat down next Harry on his bed as it was the closest to the door.

Susan made a frustrated noise and everyone looked at her curiously, " Don't sit down we have to go." all the boys made noise on not wanting to get and asked what was so important," The Hat knows about us traveling back in time, and it said we need to have an immediate meeting with it, was I really the only one it told this to?" she questioned while she pulled on her hair.

When the others all just looked at one another she groaned and pulled Hermione and Luna out of the room and told them all the to hurry up as she trudged down to the common room.

"Hey, where are you going?" asked Anthony as they caught up with the girls outside the common room in the hallway.

"To go get the Hat." Susan said as if it was obvious.

"What?" Anthony screeched before he was shushed," but isn't that in the Headmaster's office?"

"Yep." was all Luna said as she grabbed Seamus' hand and swung their hands together which startled him but he just shrugged and held her hand and went along with it.

"We can't just go into his office and be like 'hey were just goanna borrow the sorting Hat for a minute, kay thanks' and just walk away with it. " Anthony said as he tried too talk some sense into them.

Blaise sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose as they continued head off to the office, "We're obviously going to steal it Anthony, and its best to just go with it, their all to nuts to talk any sense into them." and with that Anthony went quiet and thought Blaise might be on to something, as he watched Luna and Seamus started to skip and swing their hands every which way.

After several minutes they came to the gargoyle that guarded the office and just stared at it for a moment.

"Do any of you know how to get in?" asked Susan and Anthony looked constipated on her not even knowing how to get in when she wanted to steal something.

"We're going to get caught." he whispered screamed into his hands as he leaned against the wall.

"Don't be such a baby, and we're not goanna get caught unless you keep making so much noise." she clucked he tongue at him before she turned towards the statue guarding the entrance," the hat said that the castle and it were at our complete service so It should just open for us. Would you please let us in?" she asked the statue and slowly slid open after minute.

She hummed and was about to step on when Blaise grabbed her arm and kept her put, she looked at him and waited to find out what he wanted.

Blaise looked apprehensively at the stairs," What if he's awake?"

Susan stopped then and was stumped on how to check that when the Statue spoke," The Headmaster is laid do to sleep for the night." before it went still once more.

Harry and Hermione stepped closer to the statue examining it," I didn't know it could talk," Hermione said," And it gave us answer with out us even asking, almost as if it is sentient." she said awed.

"It is," Luna answered as she stepped on the stairs and they started to move upward which forced the others to follow," Hogwarts only talks to those it dreams needs its help though." she finished as they got to the top.

Luna carefully touched the door and pushed it open before she skipped into the room while the others slowly walked in still afraid they'd run into the Headmaster.

"Alright time to find that Hat." Susan said lowly and they all set out in search of it.

After forty minutes of not being able to find it still they were all at the point where they were all very tired and frustrated.

"Ugh, where is it? it wants a meeting but doesn't even tell me where he is." Susan said as she seemed ready to pop a vain on her neck in anger.

They were all silent for a moment when they all heard a chirp, and looked over to Fawkes.

" Fawkes," Harry said as he moved closer," do you know where the sorting Hat is?" he asked politely.

Fawkes just sat for a minute before he flew from his perch over to the Headmaster desk. He landed lightly on top of it and pecked at a globe set off to the right side of the desk. Harry went over and gently picked the globe up, it depicted Hogwarts in a flurry of snow, he looked questionably at Fawkes.

"Wow Harry," Blaise said in a sarcastically awed voice," I didn't know you spoke bird, what else can you do, can you juggle?"

Harry just sighed and continue to look at Fawkes who after a minute tilted his head to the other side of the desk where the outline of a circle was worn into the desk, and Harry set the globe down on it.

The desk shook slightly and a hole appeared in the middle of the desk, and out popped the sorting Hat where it landed in a heap as the hole closed back up.

"Ha," Harry said as he picked up the Hat and stuck his tongue out at Blaise, "and yes Blaise I can juggle, when you have years of free time you tend to pick up certain skills."

"Are you implying that juggling I-" Blaise started but was interrupted.

"Children," that Hat said which made Harry drop it back on the table," please refrain from dropping me, I'm very old and tear easy."

"Sorry." Harry mumbled as he stepped back and they formed a circle around the hat.

" Alright we are all gathered, can you please explain to us what is going on now?" Susan tried to ask politely but was very tired at that point and just wanted to know what it was that they needed to know.

"Very well," it cleared it's non existent throat before it continued, "as I told Ms. Bones, Rowena Ravenclaw saw that you seven would be needed to bring the world to complete harmony, but that you would only be able to succeed and keep what you want to happen permanent if she intervened."

"This all seems very sketchy." Seamus murmured and Blaise and Anthony nodded in agreement.

"So I have certain instructions on things that must be taken care of for you to make this work, first you must get rid of Voldemort and Grindelwald." the Hat said with an air of smugness at being given such an important task.

"We were already going to." Hermione said.

"Please no interrupting, thank you." the Hat said as it gave her pointed look," second you must not let Dumbledore in on any of your plans, each vision that Rowena saw of you telling him had you stopped and you all were sent to Azkaban or killed."

They all looked mildly upset that the Headmaster would do that, but realized that being the leader of light made it impossible for him to trust the dark, and he wouldn't understand why they were trying to make the dark equal.

"Third, you are the seven deadly sins, and you must except this quickly, otherwise you won't be able to properly learn to harness the powers Death has given you in order to complete your mission. "the Hat said as it eyed Blaise.

"Hey I just wanted more evidence besides Hermione's random fact finding and assuming, no offense." he said when he saw Hermione give him a scathing look form across their little circle.

"fourth," the Hat said loudly and dragged their attention back, "in order to take control of the world you need to get help from certain groups of muggles in the world, they will help you with bringing the world under your rule, but they won't do so by force, you have to gain their trust." the hat whispered at he end.

It looked them all in the eye twisting every which way its pointed top flopped as it moved which made Luna release a startled giggle and she slapped her hand over he mouth.

"What groups of people specifically?" Hermione asked and choose to ignore Luna who's face was bright red.

"A group of special powered muggles known to the world as the Avengers, and a government organization known as S.H.E.I.L.D." it said and sounded irritated at the constant interruptions.

"The Avengers?" Harry and Luna asked surprised, and then everyone had imagines of flying meatal men, giant green monsters, and scantily clad women.

"We need these people's help?" asked Blaise," they look as if they have no self-preservation skills."

"Yes." the hat growled," now stop interrupting. the last things you need to know and accept is that all your goals will not happen immediately and if you push to much to soon you will lose, and the world may end up far worse than the future you came from. Along with that the Horcrux within Mr. Potter's head disappeared when he became a sin." the hat finished quietly.

"Awesome," Harry crowed as he fist bumped the air and spontaneously hugged Blaise.

"That's great, but is that all," Hermione asked," nothing on what we should do or how to go about taking over the world?"

"Knowing to much about ones future can have deadly consequences, it is best to let you do most of this on your own, but some advice I can give is that death is sometimes the only answer to stop those hell bent on destroying all that is around them. So you shouldn't worry to much on being the one to take that life, if it means protecting the world." With that last comment the Hat lost its life and fell over.

The hole in the desk appeared again and it sucked the Hat back down before it closed back up and the globe slid back towards where it had originally been. They all stood around the desk for a few minutes and digested what they had just been told and jumped when the clock set up on one of shelves and rung loudly and they realize it was twelve p.m.

"I think it's time we went to bed, we can go more over this tomorrow," Luna said lightly to the group," because like the Hat said this is going to take a while, and nothing is instantaneous."

They all agreed and made their way down the stairs and were silent until they got back to the common.

"You know I just remembered something," Harry said surprised at himself for not noticing before as he looked at Hermione, " The Weasley twins have the map again."

"We'll have to get that when we steal Peter away from Ron then." she said as everyone got images of a the Marauders Map.

"That's how you never got caught," Blaise said accusingly," What with that map and a real invisibility cloak Merlin, Malfoy was always complaining to anyone who would listen about how you never got caught for anything, this makes so much sense now."

"Yes, well," said Harry as he didn't know to respond to that, " goodnight everyone big day tomorrow, first day of school and all that." and he shot up the stairs and off to bed before anyone else could comment.

Luan giggled as she watched Harry go before she skipped over to Seamus and Anthony and pulled them into a two armed hug before she left to go upstairs and pulled Hermione and Susan along after her.

"You're all nuts, I mean honestly." Blaise said as he Anthony and Seamus went up to bed.

"You know you love it." Seamus said as he dived onto his bed and went straight to sleep.

"I mean," Anthony said slowly as he got into his bed and pulled the covers over his waist," he's not wrong, being around their insane minds is kind of fun isn't it?" but all Blaise did was groan and face plant on his bed.

"It's happening to you to, you were sane and they've started to corrupt and I'm going to be next, I just know it." Blaise said into his blanket and it and muffled his voice but Anthony understood and hummed sympathetically.

" I'm sure it won't be as bad as you think it will." Anthony yawned as he laid down and went to sleep.

Blaise groaned into his blanket again before he rolled over and got in to his bed properly, and went to sleep hoping that he'd still be sane when he woke up tomorrow, but he knew that he probably wouldn't be.
