A/N – I have changed the name after several people have complained to me about copying someone else's titles. This is a title I originally made for a book I'm writing, so I hope you enjoy. As this title makes better since then my last one.

Chapter 8: The Summer of Changes

Harry was sitting in the backyard of the Dursley's garden. Rowena went to the park to play. They kept their robes on and used some of their potions to melt away the locks on their owl's cages. Immediately they sent Hedwig and Ariana for help.

A/N – Ariana is an owl Harry named after Dumbledore's sister.

Their friends immediately responded promising to bring this to the attention of the Ministry of Magic. However today, Harry was depressed because some of his mail wasn't coming to him. He stood alone in the garden looking at the rose bush, where he knew Dobby was hiding.

"I know what day it is."

"So you finally learn how to count." Harry replied in a mock tone.

"Today is your birthday. How come you don't have any presents from your freakish friends?"

"Who says I didn't get any?" Harry asked. Dudley pointed a shaking finger at Harry.

"You can't have anything without dad saying its ok." Dudley replied in a scared tone. Harry raised an eyebrow and used Legilimency on his 'cousin'. He discovered Petunia and Vernon wanted Dudley to keep an eye on Harry and Rowena and ruin them in any way they could. Something Harry found amusing.

"Dudley, can you tell Uncle Vernon I'm expecting some guests tonight." Harry replied calmly.

"You can't…" Dudley replied, but he sounded like he wasn't so sure.

"Go, I have some business I must take care of."

"The Mason's are coming. If you bring company, there will be hell to pay. Dad will make sure of it."

"How about I just curse you instead?" Harry growled. Dudley screamed and ran back inside.

"Mum… mum, he is doing you know what." Dudley screamed. Harry pulled out his wand and pointed it towards the glass door as Petunia came out with a broom; stopping her in her track. Petunia glared at Harry before she turns around to cuddle her son.

Harry turns to the rose bush. He knew he was there, green eyes like tennis balls were staring at him.

"You must be Dobby the House-Elf." Harry replied coolly. Dobby appeared in front of Harry Potter.

"Harry Potter knows Dobby's name. Harry Potter is a great wizard indeed. Dobby has seen the Daily Prophet and knows Harry Potter is a great wizard indeed."

"How long have you've been intercepting my mail?" Harry asked.

"Since you've came back sir. I thought if Harry Potter thought none of his friends have written to Harry Potter he wouldn't want to go back."

"I know, you think you are acting in my best interest, but you're not." Harry replied. Dobby looked at him with his eyes.

"Come with me, we can talk inside." Harry replied entering the house. Dobby followed him. Mostly out of curiosity. Harry sat down and offered a sit for Dobby. Dobby burst into tears when he was offered and treated like an equal.

"Dobby, you can calm down and take a sit." Harry replied calmly. Dobby did; not before he sobbed at being treated like an equal like a wizard. The front door open and Rowena came in.

"Is that the house-elf whose been stealing our letters?" She asked as she made her way into the living room. The Dursley's weren't home seeing how Uncle Vernon was at work. Aunt Petunia was no doubt still cuddling her son upstairs.

"Look, some people are going to be coming here from France. I got an important business deal to make with them. You also have no right to be stealing our mail." Harry replied calmly.

"Harry Potter must not go back to Hogwarts. Terrible things are going to happen… if they do, Harry Potter will be in great danger."

"You mean the Chamber of Secrets." Rowena replied. Dobby gasps out loud and Harry and Rowena immediately made a grabbed for him as he started to bang his head on the arm chair.

"Stop that. We already know, we've figure the Chamber will open again, we've already dealt with the creature in the chamber." Rowena replied calmly.

"You have?" Dobby asked with wide eyes.

"The night before we left, we entered the Chamber of Secrets and killed the beast." Harry replied calmly.

"How did Harry Potter and Rowena Syvonne kill such a beast?" Dobby asked.

"You forget, I hail from directly from Rowena Ravenclaw herself. I was named after my ancestor. My ancestor left my family documents, spells and gifts that has been pass down, generation to generation. She's search the castle herself and left clues to its possible location. We found the Chamber of Secrets and killed the beast that lived inside." Rowena answered calmly.

"Dobby, even if the Chamber of Secrets opens again, we have nothing to fear from it. It has been taken care of." Harry replied calmly.

It was true, on the last night of Hogwarts; they stole Hagrid's roosters and went into the Chamber of Secrets. They immediately set into the main hall of the chamber and called for the Basilisk. Then they had the rooster's crow causing the beast to scream in pain before it died. They collected its poison, keeping it safe with them. Harry also took some of the fangs that still have poison in it in hopes to destroy several of Voldemort's Horcrux. They left the body as they could not take it. However they cast several spells on it to prevents rodents, incest's and the body from going rotten to happen. So the body lays there, even now… unaffected by change and time.

"Give us our letters Dobby…" Rowena asked.

"Dobby, how about I get you free." Harry replied. Dobby's ears perked up. Harry soon told Dobby his plan. Dobby agreed to play his part, after all, he wouldn't be betraying his masters if he was helping them when they went to Diagon Alley.

When Vernon got home he was greeted by his wife and son. Harry and Rowena were eating food on the table and were relaxing.

"Alright, everyone knows what day it is. Today, the Mason's are coming over." Vernon replied.

"That's wonderful Dursley, we also have company coming over." Rowena replied calmly. Vernon face paled at Rowena. Three reasons, one she insulted him, two she was wearing witches robes and third she stated she was bringing over her 'lot' over to his home.

"They are not welcome here." Vernon hissed.

"I'm afraid that won't work. Actually, I hope you will be on your best behavior." Harry replied in a cool tone. Vernon's face paled.

"We are going out for a bit, when we come back, we better have dinner ready. We will also, be brining some… help here." Rowena replied calmly. Though Harry could see her mouth twitching; too prevent herself from grinning. They got up and left… before the Dursley's could say anything they both vanish from sight.


Harry and Rowena appeared in front of Gringotts.

"I think I'm going to puke." Rowena replied in a calm tone.

"Still can't handle side-along apparate." Harry replied in a calm tone.

"Not really. I prefer using the elves way. Much safer in my opinion." Rowena replied as she stood straight up after catching her breath. It was true; you learn to jump from spot to another. You didn't feel the thin rubber tube as most witches and wizards do. Elves learn to split dimensions to allow them to jump from one place to another. Harry and Rowena however, didn't use it because it would cause trouble for them and the elves. They need the alliance with the elves to fight the Death Eaters and the Ministry of Magic. They entered in Gringotts were they bowed to several Goblins and the Goblins bowed back. Harry and Rowena sat down, waiting to enter the Director of Gringotts. When they finally got the word, they entered.

"Mr. Potter, Ms. Ravenclaw… or is it Miss Syvonne now."

"Syvonne, please… my real name must be buried. If people knew… then it could be disastrous for us." Ragnok nodded in agreement with Rowena's words.

"It took me a while, but I found something that belongs to goblins." Harry flicks his wand an old book appeared in on top of Ragnok's papers. Ragnok open the book and gasp out loud.

"This is… it can't be… it's been lost for centuries." Rangok replied.

"This is book was written by the first goblins. It explains all of the goblins rules and laws. We can also talk about my plan I told you last summer."

"You are serious." Ragnok gasp out loud, though he tried not to sound so serious.

"It must be done. The Ministry is too corrupted. Even if we save it in time, Voldemort has too many spies already working for the Ministry. The only way to save the world from Voldemort is to become a government of our own. Also, kindly give Rita Skeeter my little information of my blood status and who I really am." Harry replied.

"What will we Goblins get in return?" Ragnok asked.

"Freedom. Something we wizards have been denying you're race for a long time. Also, you will have the right to study wandlore. It's something the Goblins have wanted for a long time. The leader of the Goblin nation will also be the Alliance Treasury as they handle the alliance's finances. Depending on your laws, we will return several Goblin treasures to Gringotts." Harry replied calmly. Ragnok looked at Harry in surprise.

"In other words, you will treat us as equals." He replied.

"That is correct. We can either make the mistakes of the past, allow Dark Wizards to grow in power and destroy our world, or we can work together and bring a better world for us all." Harry answered.

"Very well, let me see the what the book says about creating alliances shall I?'

"Of course." Harry replied calmly.

"Can you read it?" Ragnok asked Harry with a careful eye.

"No, I can speak the Goblin language but I cannot read it." Harry answered calmly. Ragnok nodded. He read the page on making alliances with any race. He shut the book and stood before Harry.

"Let's shake Mr. Potter, for the alliance between wizards and goblins. We shall make a better world." Ragnok replied. Harry held out his hand and shook Ragnok's claw like hand. Rowena did the same.

"I will inform my people of the alliance and warn them to keep their mouths shut." Ragnok replied.

"Also, did you get us the house-elves we ask for?" Rowena asked.

"Yes…"

"Thank you, we don't want to draw attention by looking for house-elves ourselves."

"You two have shown us respect and equality. Something witches and wizards have never showed us." Ragnok replied as Harry smiled at the Gringotts leader. They bowed and left. Outside of the office; were were four house-elves. Two for each of them.

"Hello Master, I'm Toby." The first house-elf introduces himself. This was a male, as his voice was deeper.

"I'm Andy." The female replied. Harry smiled and greeted them.

Rowena was greeted by her own house-elves. Who appeared to be Lokey's and Serkin's. They all disaapparated from Gringotts; heading back to there summer home.


They appeared in the Dursley's living room scaring the hell out of the Dursley's.

"Boy, we are getting set up for our guests." Vernon shouted.

"What are those things?!" Petunia shriek as she was the first to notice the house elves.

"House-elves, think of them as our servants." Harry replied calmly.

"Can you make us some dinner; we have people from France coming over to talk to us about joining their Quidditch team." Harry asked. The elves seemed delighted to be working right away. Petunia looked shock to see the elves working so fast. They made the food rather quickly.

"Ragnok took care of informing the Ministry of Magic that we have a house-elf." Harry asked Rowena. She nodded.

"Good, that means they can't threaten to expel us just because house-elves are working. Any luck in finding the Elves of Darnassus?" Rowena asked.

"We are having some trouble finding the place. If I can find Silvermoon city, then we can talk with the elves." Harry replied.

"What are you saying?" Vernon asked. He wanted to appear threatening but was scared too. Harry and Rowena were talking in the elf language. Something the Dursley's would never understand.

"I'm glad you taught me how to speak Thallassian." Rowena replied speaking in the thallassian language.

"What we say is none of your concern. Just keep to yourselves and your guests. We have important business with wizards from France." Harry replied coldly. Petunia wanted to shout something but a looked from Vernon silences her. They both knew that they held no love for each other, and their nephew made it quiet clear, if he ever got the chance, he would kill them. He only put up with the Dursley's so Dumbledore wouldn't be jumping down his throat. Harry also made it quiet clear that he wanted nothing to with them, as he never will, or ever see them as his family.

The door bell rang and Dudley immediately got it. In walked in the Masons, Vernon immediately greeted. Harry and Rowena got up and left, as they too went to get ready. They could hear the Dursley's talking to the Mason's in hopes they impressed them. Harry and Rowena wore their best robes and walked down stairs. Just as they reach the bottom the door knocked.

"Dudley, is that your friends?" Vernon asked Dudley.

"Don't bother, it's for us." Rowena called out as she and Harry reach the final stairs. Harry opens the door and three wizards were standing there.

"Harry Potter?" One replied. Harry nodded.

"I am the France Head of Magical Games and Sports, Zinedine Zidane. With me are Head Couch Jacques Santini and Captain Jean Vincent."

"Come in, I hope you don't mind using the dining room as my family have guests of their own in the living room." Harry replied as he let the three in into the house.

"Thank you." Jean Vincent replied. His voice was deep but gentle took. Harry led them inside and walk past the Dursley's who flush seeing three full grown wizards in their home.

Rowena went to the kitchen and had got the house-elves to bring out some food.

"According to your letter, you wish to play for France correct." Zinedine asked.

"Yes, I don't think I could play for England or Ireland. There are people in this country who, let's say don't like me and I don't want them pulling any strings just for me to get hurt or anything."

"Awe yes, the Death Eaters who walked free. I understand Mr. Potter, they have to many pockets in Ireland and England. However, in order to play for France, you must have citizenship or…"

"Or have some relatives who were born in France." Harry replied.

"Yes… seeing how…"

"I'm afraid that my grandparents were born in Paris, France. From my mother's side. Edmond Dantes and Joan Marseille."

"Mr. Potter, Edmond Dantes and Joan Marseille are well respected people of France. During the First Great Wizarding War, Joan Marsille was the leader of the France Aurors during the Dark Lord Grindelwald reign of terror. Mr. Edmond Dantes is a very wealthy person of France who helped reshape France after the war. I am unaware that they had children.

"When Voldemort first rose to power, (Harry ignore the three wizards flinch at the name) he also targeted anyone who would stand up to him. Give people hope, who could challenge him, so my grandparents left their only child with some muggles in London In hopes they would raise her as their own… this was shortly before their death. According to some journal's I've reviewed." Harry replied.

"We need proof." Jacques Santini asked. Harry pulled out piece of parchment and handed it to them. The three men looked at it calmly.

"Pure-Blood? Lily Potter was muggleborn, if she truly is the daughter of Edmond Dantes and Joan Marseille then that means citizenship will be much easier for you to gain then it normally would take. So Mr. Potter, according to your performance at Hogwarts, you helped give Ravenclaw an easy victory for the Quidditch cup correct."

"Yes… by several hundred points." Harry replied.

"You nearly gave Ravenclaw a thousand point lead for the Quidditch Cup." Rowena replied.

"I'm trying not to be modest." Harry replied.

"That's good; now, we are willing to go over your contract. If that is ok with you." Harry nodded. They immediately began to work and soon they made a deal. Harry also got the team to donate some money to helping their fellow witches and wizards by improving medical needs and better products for their homes and school. In the end the contract was sign and they shook hands. The three wizards bowed and left. Harry would soon have practice with an international team. Though they made sure they wouldn't interfere with his school schedule. In short, they left with high spirits, the Dursley's apparently had been watching with the Mason's and the Dursley's now had to explain that their nephew was a wizard. The Mason's now shock to learn that the young boy was a wizard. They talked to him and tried to see if he could perform some magic, but Harry explain he couldn't unless it was life-threatening as the Ministry of Magic had laws for underage magic. However, they showed them the house-elves and explain that House-Elves were like servants and could use magic. The house-elves showed their own magic to the Mason's who were delighted at such wonders in the world. They shook hands as Harry and Rowena had to go and see some friends. The Dursley's paled when they realize they could have lock up their nephew but didn't, all because they were afraid he would use magic on them.

The house-elves got their stuff and they all disparate towards Diagon Alley.


"Awe, Mr. Potter, how are you." Tom replied as the door appeared before the old man.

"Can we get two rooms?" Harry asked politely. Tom gave them some room's keys and they easily went upstairs to pack.

"Is our flat ready?"

"Condo, we are getting a condo. It's unplottable as no one can really enter there. It will be another week till we can go in. Thank goodness too… I can't stand having to stay with them anymore. Luckily, I won't have to go back next year." Harry replied.

Rowena nodded. She and the Dursley's got into a serious row. It got really bad when Petunia called Rowena a 'Freak' and Rowena whip out her wand and threaten to turn her into a vulture also stating she has no respect for the dead as Lily would have help Petunia and her family if she was in trouble. It nearly got nasty before Harry threaten to slip poison in their food if they didn't stop. Because of Harry's threat, Dudley lost a lot of weight because he stopped eating a lot. They both laugh at the Dursley's as they showed the poison and explain that it was tasteless and odorless. Making it near impossible to be detected in food and drinks. They Dursley's paled when Harry warn if they misbehavior or mistreat them again he would slip it into their food.

"A full week here, what should we do?" Rowena asked.

"Let's get our stuff for school." Harry replied as he picked up his letter. Rowena did the same as she wanted to get new clothes along with other things that Harry dreaded.

They easily enter Diagon Alley and went to get new robes as both of them have grown bigger since their last pair. They easily refilled their potions ingredients and got new cauldron's. They had the house-elves take their stuff back but Harry and Rowena wrapped their robes in a bag and sealed it up before handing it to their house-elves. They elves knew there were clothes inside the bag and knew the only way to get free was to touch it; however they didn't as they easily set the bag on their bed. Harry and Rowena walked towards Flourish and Blotts. When they arrived, Harry groan out loud.

"Who is Gilderoy Lockhart?" Rowena asked.

"You don't want to know." Harry replied in a low voice. Rowena knew him well enough to know, Harry did not like this person. Rowena check her list and groan too.

"Well, who ever he is… we got a lot of his books to buy."

"I rather not, let's check out some other books." Harry replied as they slip through the crowd.

Gilderoy Lockhart was sitting down signing some books and smiling proudly as his fans waved paper and books for him to sign. Harry snorted in disgust and slip past everyone.

"I can't breathe." Rowena replied, Harry also had a hard time breathing. The crowd seemed to be squeezing them, taking the air away. Harry fell backwards as a camera man shoved him out of the way.

"Out of the way, this is Front Page news for the Daily Prophet." He snarled.

"Like I care." Harry replied. Rowena appeared and help lift him up.

"Let's get out of here." Rowena replied.

"It can't be Harry Potter!" Gilderoy shouted out.

"Oh no." Harry groans. He and Rowena dove in the crowd in hopes they would disappeared, however the crowd push them back and Lockhart grabbed Harry's hand and was bring him forward. Harry dug his feet into the ground, preventing Lockhart from dragging him forward.

"Releashio" Rowena cried out as Lockhart release Harry's hand, however he was thrown backwards into the table and Harry tumbled into Rowena's arms.

"Thanks." Harry replied as he stood up. Gilderoy also stood up and moved his way towards Harry. Harry however pulled out his wand and was glaring at Lockhart with menace in his eyes.

"Let's go." Harry replied as tried to leave.

"Mr. Potter, please stand up here." Lockhart cried out as he grabbed Harry and Rowena together pulling them beside him.

"Miss Syvonne too… this is indeed a surprise. Ladies and gentlemen, let me be the first to make an announcement I have wanted to make for some time. You see, this year at Hogwarts, I am proud to announce that I'm the new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher."

Everyone clapped; clearly ready to announce this to the wizarding world.

"Also, I will be buying Miss Syvonne and Mr. Potter's school books myself." Lockhart called out. Everyone cheered clearly enjoying the show. Harry however caught Rita Skeeter and she nodded, knowing that Harry also had something for her.

Harry pulled away and got his books along with Rowena. They also asked for other books normally used by second years and bought those; though Lockhart also paid for them. Harry and Rowena left in a quick hurry, trying to escape from Lockhart.

"Bet you enjoyed that did you Potter?" Ron replied as he step in front of them. Seamus and Dean were also standing beside him.

"I see you haven't changed Weasley. Still mad I bested you in everything? I would have thought after having five older brothers you would be better than me, due to my ignorance of magic." Harry replied calmly. Ron flush dangerously red and a young red head girl appeared beside him.

"Ron, mum wants us to regroup." She replied.

"You got a girlfriend Weasley, I'm impressed." Harry replied calmly; though he was laughing on the inside.

"She's my sister." Ron snapped.

"Oh, that makes since then. I don't know any girl who would want to go out with you. They must be either bewitch or… not right in their minds." Harry replied calmly. Neville flush but Harry shot him a look that he didn't mean it. Harry easily used his legilimency to calm Neville's mind down.

"What's you're name?" Rowena asked Ginny.

"Ginny."

"Well Gibby, kindly return to your family. You're too young to be out here with an irresponsible brother." Rowena replied. Ginny flushes red at the insult. She pulled at her wand and waved it dangerously. Rowena laugh at Ginny who looked at her in shock.

"You don't know any magic, so don't try to threaten me. I on the other hand…" Rowena replied. A loud noise like a gun went off and Ginny flew back into the crowd. Ron cursed and drew his wand as did Seamus and Dead… there were a couple more loud bangs and the trio were also thrown into the crowd.

"What's going on?" A voice shouted out. Arthur Weasley appeared and looked at his son and daughter in shock. "Ron, what are you doing?" Arthur asked.

"Ask him…" Ron snarled pointing at Harry.

"Merlin's beard… Harry Potter?" Arthur replied.

"Pleasure…" Harry replied nodding towards Mr. Weasley. He made his choice, he would have no affection with the Weasley Family, except perhaps Bill, Charlie and the twins… the others were already dead to him. However, seeing Mr. Weasley well and looking down upon him was harder to remember his own agreement to himself.

"What happen?" Arthur asked.

"It appears your children have no manners Arthur." A new voice replied. Mr. Weasley turns around and faces the person.

"Lucius." Arthur replied, with no love in his voice. Harry and Rowena stood there as Mr. Malfoy and Mr. Weasley stood near face to face, ready to let all hell break loose.

"I understand that the Mininstry is having you incharge of raids going on in the wizarding community. I hope they are paying you over time." Lucius asked. He picked up Ginny's books and looks at them. "I guess not. Such disgrace you are, to all wizards that is Arthur."

"You and I have different opinions on what is a disgrace to wizards Lucius." Arthur answered calmly.

"Truly… I believe… it is when you turn your back on your fellow wizards that marks you disgraceful Arthur." Lucius whispered calmly. Arthur flushed as Lucius was attacking his muggle knowledge. Lucius smiled calmly. "Some would say you could sink no lower." Lucius replied. Before anyone could move, Arthur swung on Lucius Malfoy causing the two men to tremble into the stack of books. Ron shouted "Get him Dad!" While Mrs. Weasley was screaming at her husband to stop.

"Break it up." Hagrid shouted as he appeared from no where and pulled them apart quiet easily. Lucius Malfoy have a bloodily lip while Arthur Weasley had a swollen eye. Lucius handed Ginny her books back.

"Enjoy this while you can girl, if you fall into disgrace, you will never have the rewards of a witch." Lucius replied as he easily stood up. Rowena however was eyeing Harry with a look in her eye that promise pain.

"I know." Harry whispered.

"Why…?"

"Because Lucius Malfoy isn't all that bad. He doesn't know what he seeks." Harry replied.

"You know him?" Rowena asked.

"Long story."

"Mr. Potter, I have heard about you from my son Draco. Who you no doubt know from school." Lucius replied behind him. Harry turns around to see Lucius standing there.

"Yes…"

"Excellent job I must say, being tying first place, you and Miss Syvonne. In all of you're classes none the less." Lucius replied.

"Thank you." Harry commented.

"Please, forgive me." Lucius replied as he lifts his cane up, splitting Harry's hair apart and looked at Harry's scar.

"You're scar is legendary, as is the wizard who gave it to you." Lucius replied.

"I find that hard to believe. If Voldemort was indeed powerful as many claim he is, then I should have died that night. Seeing how I didn't, I believe he is nothing more than a coward who uses fear and intimidated on people. In other words, a common bully who tries to steal candy from someone much younger than himself." Harry answers calmly. Lucius looked in thought before he smiles.

"I was wondering Mr. Potter, my son didn't do so well as I had hope during his first year and I'm somewhat nervous that he isn't performing so well. I was wondering, do you mind tutoring him for a while in school?"

"You want something." It was a statement, not a question. Lucius knew this as well.

"Yes, you see, I wish to know you more. Better, one would say. You see, already mystery surrounds you and I wish to know why."

"That's easy, one I'm a gifted wizard or two… maybe I stronger than Voldemort, after all… he couldn't defeat me when I was a baby, and I doubt he could beat me now." Harry replied calmly.

"You're either very brave or very foolish for saying his name. However, I hope to see you two again, perhaps on friendlier terms."

"You have to give up being a Death Eater for me to be on friendly terms with you Mr. Malfoy." Harry replied calmly. Lucius looked a bit shock but none the less smiled and bid them farewell as he collected his son and walked away. Harry and Rowena both disappeared from view, to prevent the press from harassing them.


"You shouldn't have done that Harry." Rowena replied.

"Doubt in an army is terrible thing. Once doubt enters a side, confidence will fall. It's best to strike our enemies through their hearts now, then we can worry about the army."

"You're serious aren't you? About restoring so many magical begins to their previous power. Giving them equal rights as witches and wizards."

"If you were treated different, wouldn't you dream of one day, standing equal with others?" Harry asked. Rowena bit her lip but she said nothing. She remembered that the mistakes she and her fellow friends made were pass on, and things weren't improving for the wizarding world. Goblins, force to serve the magical world against their will. Having there own treasures stolen from them. The once proud elves, who sought peace instead of war, were driven from their homelands force into exile where they remain hidden. Then there were the Orc's. While they were violent and brutal, history; if looked at carefully, were because their homes were invaded and they were treated like dogs. Dwarves were also force into hiding by the humans, because they didn't like people standing beside them.

"I know you don't like it, but understand this… in order for real peace to accord, we need this alliance. We need the world to change."

Rowena said nothing realizing the truth in Harry's word. There were afraid to easily. Their fear would destroy the world. She realized that Harry was good at judging character. In fact, if this kept going, Harry would get into serious trouble with the Ministry of Magic. Something he wanted to do. Rowena knew, if someone attack the other without reason, they would lose support. It was a matter of logic, something Minister Fudge didn't know. A good example would be that Harry also made it quiet clear he rather sleep in the streets than stay with the Dursley's. A statement that went unnoticed by many students and teachers. Dumbledore was not please and still insisted for Harry to return to his aunt and uncles. Harry then stated to Dumbledore's face "They are not my family." Harry left, very angry, mostly at Dumbledore. This however, left questions about why Harry didn't want to return to his aunt and uncles home.

Harry lays down on his bed and Rowena played with his hair. Harry has yet to cut it, as he made it clear he wanted to grow it out. His hair wasn't to his shoulders yet, but it was still longer than most boys his age. Rowena smiled when Aunt Petunia tried to cut his hair, Harry slip a coughing potion in her tea before she could cut it and she wouldn't stop coffining for hours. It was until Harry introduces an anti-coffining potion that Aunt Petunia agreed to take it. Harry laugh at her reminded her that she 'lowered' herself to the aid of magic. Petunia looked down in shame and wouldn't speak for weeks.


Harry and Rowena soon moved to their flat in the middle of London, surprisingly to Rowena, it was direct across from the Ministry of Magic.

"So, why are we across the Ministry of Magic?" Rowena asked as she sat near the window.

"They cannot see us; this house has the best protection the Goblin Nation offered us. Besides, it's good to see who comes in and out of the Ministry. This will make it easier to know who goes in, and who goes out. They also will never bother to check directly across from them in case they ever go searching for us."

"When the Ministry falls, they will hunt us." Rowena replied.

"That is why, we are building safe houses with food. Starting this year, we both should start buying Diagon Alley."

"We can do that?"

"Diagon Alley is apart of the Ministry, due to the fact that the Ministry controls so much of the Wizarding World. When Voldemort returns to power, he will first strike against Dumbledore, with Dumbledore dead, he will quickly move to take over the Ministry. If we can control most of the important wizard estates and important places, Voldemort will have no choice but to fight harder."

"What about those gargoyle statues in the front?"

"A precaution in case someone bypasses the wards." Harry answers.

"I take it something bad will happen if someone tries to force their way in here." Rowena replied grinning.

"Yes… it's impossible to apparate in here, unless you know the exact location. Even if someone were to find this place, they have to know the password to get pass the door. Even if they force enter themselves in, they cannot counter the third trap that is place unless they know the spell to calm the house down." Harry replied.

"Why can't we get the Locket and destroy it?" Rowena asked.

"Because Kreacher is there. Once Sirus escapes, we can go there and get the locket as Kreacher has no choice but to obey Sirus. We can also force Kreacher to reveal his story and I will be able to change him as I did last time."

"You're found of him, aren't you." It wasn't a question, a statement. It was true, after Kreacher had changed and showed much loyalty towards Harry, something Harry shows in return. Even going so far to save the elf from certain death. Kreacher died like a hero, giving the symbol for house-elves to stand up to their wronged masters. Harry buried him next to his parents, as Kreacher was the next best thing to family he had.

Rowena nodded, she understood the feeling but couldn't help but understand why Harry treated everyone and everything with equality. She didn't understand, yet standing with Harry, it was as if everything was alright. Like he knew what he was doing. Something told her that they needed this alliance with the magical beings. Harry was right, wizards and witches push the other magical races around. That what every Dark Lord used to their advantage to gain power. With equal rights for everyone, Harry was sure to gain popularity, as well as dangerous enemies.


The days pass rather quickly for the duo and they easily entered the Hogwarts express before anyone else did and grabbed the biggest compartment for themselves.

They only had to wait an hour as everyone filled the train. When the train started moving, Toby appeared before them letting them know that Ron, Seamus and Dean were now trapped outside the barrier; forcing them to resort into using Arthur Weasley's Ford. Harry and Rowena were smiling. Ron's comments at Flourish and Blotts were enough for them to get a little payback.

"We are so Slytherin." Rowena replied with a smile on his face. Harry smiled showing he agreed.

The train ride went peacefully as many of their friends got on the train and enter the compartment. When Percy came in and demanded them to get out Harry mock him by asking why they had to leave. Percy commented this was the Perfect's compartment. They all laugh stating the Perfect's are in the front. Percy threatened to go to Professor McGonagall but Harry pointed out, he had to go to Professor Flitwick if he had a problem with Ravenclaw. Things would have ended nasty if Penelope Clearwater didn't show up and ease the situation. She managed to drive Percy away who stormed off angrily. She eyed Harry for a moment before she followed. Rowena and Harry decided to chat with her later. Things didn't go so well as Ginny tried to come in and Harry glared at her angrily. It became so harsh, that Rowena was force to use the vanishing spell on her that sent her to the train's loo.

It would be close to sunset when the train reached Hogsmeade Station.
