Chapter 10: Potter Manor
A/N: Hey sorry if my updates take a while I am also working on two Gravity Falls, My baby Sitters a vampire, NCIS LA, Austin and Ally, Jak and Daxter, Avatar, four Neon Genesis Evangelion and another three Harry Potters. Pretty go for a teenager isn't it. Anyone I'll update when I can in whatever story or I'll post new stories.
'HARRY JAMES POTTER.' Sirius Black yelled from his room. Harry smirked behind his cup of coffee as he saw the man in question ran down the stairs. 'What in Merlin's name have you done to me?' Sirius asked frantically gesturing to himself.
Harry smiled as he saw his prank went as planned, Sirius was wearing bright pink robes, his face was orange and his hair had turned yellow all while Sirius was waving his wand trying to get rid of it.
'I'd say that I officially became a marauder.' Harry said grinning.
'Ok you're a marauder, we'll give you your nickname later, now get rid of this before anyone else see's me.' Sirius said as he became aware of different things at once. There were several flashes across the room and saw Harry holding a muggle camera taking pictures.
'See I told this would be funny.' Harry said to Tonks who was snapping pictures of her cousin.
'Tonks how could you?' Sirius asked.
'Hey you played a lot of pranks on me while we were at Hogwarts.' She said taking a couple more pictures. 'Oh and Harry, looks like I'll see you next year.' Harry knew that she meant she was going to be the new Potions master at Hogwarts.
'Alright Sirius calm down.' Harry said waving his hand at Sirius who promptly turned back to a normal color but still wearing the pink robes.
'What about my robes?' he asked getting panicky.
'Oh no, I nicked those from Lockhart before the end of last year.' Harry explained another grin forming on his face.
Half an hour later the Evans, Harry and a grumbling Sirius were outside waiting for the Grangers to arrive so they could go to Potter Manor. They waited five minutes before they saw a trio of people walking towards them.
'Hey Hermione.' Harry said pulling her into a hug once she got close enough.
'So you must be the young man my daughter talks about.' Her mom said and Hermione blushed.
'Good to meet you ma'am.' Harry said shaking her hand. 'And you sir.' Also shaking her fathers hand.
'So Harry how are we getting there, Floo?' Hermione asked.
'Nope, the house isn't connected. Sirius and Tonks will take your parents and Emily's and we'll be flying there.' Harry said sporting another one of his signature grins.
'Harry you are one smart ass.' Emily said smacking him on the shoulder.
'See you there.' Harry said to the adults before he turned into his Phoenix form with the girls following suit and they took off.
'Hermione I bet your parents are still staring at us.' Harry said in a thrill.
'Well really Harry, I mean it's not every day you see your daughter transform and fly away.' Hermione quipped sarcastically.
'Alright you two, Harry what was that wolf form you took at Hogwarts?' Emily asked.
'Oh that, it's an extinct magical animal called the Drear Wolf.' Harry began explaining to them as they flew to their new house.
The flight took them nearly fifteen minutes and they found the adults and Sirius standing in front of the house apparently waiting for them.
When Hermione's mom saw them she yelled. 'HERMIONE JEAN GRANGER!'
Harry fearing what might happen changed their course and they landed in the back garden. 'Hermione I think your mom might want to talk to you.' Emily joked.
When she noticed Harry was looking at something intently she followed his gaze and saw a pair of graves. Gulping Harry walked forward slowly while Emily and Hermione stayed behind, kneeling in front of the graves Harry let a few tears slip down his cheeks. Harry lifted his arms on both graves and after a few seconds moved to pull them away but found they were stuck.
Slowly black and red flames spread over his body and travelled to his chest, but surprisingly the flames didn't hurt. The fire engulfed him and Emily and Hermione stood behind him as the fire died down. Slowly he stood up and saw that his shirt was burned off and his body was now covered in black runes with red tints in it. Harry tapped the circle that was in the middle of his chest and where all the other runes began. Instantly his eyes glazed over and he became aware of what all the runes were for and what they meant.
Gaining his senses once again Harry said. 'Now that was bloody brilliant.'
Hearing the others coming to the back Harry quickly threw on a shirt he conjured and turned to meet them and said. 'We should really build a pool here.'
All the adults laughed at this and everyone quickly went inside and began exploring the house. The first floor held the kitchen, dining room and living room. The second floor held two bedrooms, a study and a library that stretched up till the fourth floor, while the third floor held most of the bedrooms and four studies.
'This was my room.' Harry said choking back a sob when he entered a room full of baby stuff and covered with the Hurricane Quidditch team wallpaper. Harry walked towards the crib and put his hands on the side while Emily and Hermione both put supportive hands on his shoulders.
The fourth level only had spare space and some boxes stacked together. Everyone went to their respective rooms to unpack. (Emily, Hermione and Harry all share a room.) They went to the dining room for some lunch and some cheese sandwiches were quickly made by Dobby.
After lunch Harry disappeared with Dobby. 'Thanks for bringing me here Dobby.' Harry said to the elf as they popped into existence at Diagon Alley.
'Dobby is willing to do anything for The Great Harry Potter.' The elf in question said a little too enthusiastically.
'All right Dobby just keep it down okay.' Harry said as he walked into the jewelers shop. Looking around Harry picked out a nice gold chain with a gold book that you can put a picture in and another gold chain with a phoenix charm that you could also put a picture in it. Harry charmed both so they would project the picture when they were opened.
Paying the cashier Harry and Dobby went back to Potter Manor to find everyone either playing chess, reading or chatting amongst themselves.
'Hey Emily, Hermione. I can I quickly talk to you in private please.' Harry said.
'Sure Harry.' Emily said as she and Hermione stood up and walked with Harry to a study.
'I got this for you two.' He said pulling out the two chains and gave them to the girls.
'Harry you didn't have to do this.' Hermione said.
'I know I didn't have to but I wanted to.' He told them.
'Oh Harry.' They said in unison and pulled him into a loving embrace sniffing away tears.
Holding them tighter Harry smiled as they stayed like that for a few more seconds. When they broke away they both gave Harry the necklaces and turned around gesturing for him to put them around their necks.
Walking back to the others all three had grins and guilty looks plastered onto their faces. Sirius looked between them for a moment or two and said. 'How in the name of bloody Merlin's beard did you get two girls agree to go out with you at the same time?'
When he said that Tonks choked on her tea, the dad's had a coughing fit and the moms looked appaled. 'I think we should run.' Harry said before running down the hallway and out the door into the backyard. Turning into the Drear Wolf Harry ran into the small forest with Emily as a panther and Hermione as a tiger hot on his heels.
When they reached the forest they could barely hear the angry chorus of. 'HARRY JAMES POTTER.' They continued to run until they came across a clearing and slowed down to a walk before turning back to normal and all three sat down.
'I want to start the Order of Chaos.' Harry blurted out.
'Order of what now?' Hermione asked
'It's an idea I've been going over in my head. What if we get another teacher like Lockhart. We'll learn nothing, so like we create a sort of study group. We have the outer rings like two or three of them, the inner rings, two of them and the core group. It'll also help if Pettigrew tries to break into the castle.' Harry explained to them.
'That's a really great idea Harry.' Emily said giving him a kiss on the cheek.
'What classes are you two taking this year?' Hermione asked.
'All of them.' They both replied.
'So both of you are getting a Time Turner for this year?' she asked looking more interested.
'Hermione 1) I had to approve of you getting that Time Turner and 2) no besides we don't need it.' Harry said standing up and he stood up again.
Looking between Harry and the second one that appeared out of thin air. Standing up slowly she put her hand on both Harry's and neither went through. 'How the Bloody Hell Harry?'
'It's a familial spell I found, it makes a tangible copy of yourself and when you make it disappear you get all the knowledge or whatever happened to it you get.' Harry explained.
'Can you teach me?' she asked.
'Sure but you can only make one or two clones without Runes so roll up your sleeve.' He said showing her his arm which had intricate symbols on it going past his sleeve to his shoulder.
Looking slightly confused she rolled up her sleeve and was shocked when she saw similar Runes on her arm. 'Wha- Ha – How?' she managed to ask stuttering.
'We're Soul Bonded so I can share with you anything I want.' He told her as she rolled her sleeve back down.
Pulling him into a hug Harry returned as she thanked him over and over again while he said it was the least he could do before pulling away. 'Now do you want us to face your parents or our clones?' Harry asked.
'Clones.' She said without hesitation before another one of her appeared.
Making a clone of themselves as well the three turned into their Phoenix form to watch from the sky, and in a word it was horrific. The three sat there watching while their clones and parents argued for half an hour before Harry noticed a confused man walking up and down the road in front of the road.
Flying to the front yard he changed to normal before walking into the street and asking the man. 'Can I help you sir?'
The man turned and Harry noticed how bad he looked. He had bags under his eyes, his hair was all over the place and his robes had been patched in more than a few places. 'Not unless you can tell me where Potter Manor is?'
'Perhaps.' Harry said raising an eyebrow then asked. 'Remus Lupin?'
'Why yes that's me.' He said straightening up slightly.
'Ah yes, if you would come this way.' Harry said gesturing. 'I assume you want to talk about you roll at Hogwarts.'
Looking slightly shocked he walked over to Harry was gesturing and Harry gave him a small piece of parchment that read: Potter Manor can be found at Godric's Hollow, 7 ling way.
He memorized the words and passed the parchment back to Harry who promptly burned it as he saw a mansion appear in front of him. Following Harry through the door he found himself in a large living room.
'Can I get you anything coffee, tea?' Harry asked politly.
'Tea please.' Remus said sitting down.
A cup with hot tea came wizzing out of the kitchen a second later and floated in front of the man. Holding his own cup Harry sat down on a chair across from Remus and asked. 'So what did you need to discuss?'
'Well first where is Dumbledore, How did you become Headmaster and why is Snape my apprentice?' the man said sipping his own tea.
'Dumbledore was sacked, it helps being the Heir to all four founders and he needs something to keep him busy other than terrorizing students as well as something to keep him happy.' Harry replied.
'Dumbledore got sacked for what?' Remus said spluttering.
Harry tapped his head and said. 'Can I show you?'
A quick nod later and Remus was seeing all the things Dumbledore had done to this poor boy and the two plots that Dumbledore could have stopped but rather than do that put his students in danger. 'How could he.' Was all Remus could say
'Only the old fool knows, now I believe an old friend of yours lives here with me.' Harry said before standing up and walking to the backyard.
When he got there they were still arguing while Sirius just stood there watching the events unfold. 'SIRIUS!'Harry had to yell causing everyone to look at him.
'There is someone inside who wants to see you.' He said to Sirius and walked back with the man in question following him while ignoring the looks he was getting from the others.
'Lupin!' Sirius exclaimed as he saw the man.
'Sirius.' Remus said not believing his eyes stood up and embraced his old friend.
Harry went back to the yard which turned out to be a huge mistake. 'HARRY JAMES POTTER.' The four adults chorused.
Sheepishly grinning at them he said. 'Y- Yes.'
Needless to say Harry barely survived the next hour while Hermione and Emily sat on the roof laughing the whole time.
Over the next few days the trio evaded the parents almost constantly. They hid in rooms, in dark corners and other such places until Harry said. 'How about we go to Diagon Alley today?'
'Sure Harry, I need to get my ring back anyway.' Sirius said standing up.
'Uh about that Sirius, I kind of got my Potter ring and claimed an additional four. One of them being the House of Black.' He said rubbing his forearm
Sirius stood there shocked for a moment before asking. 'Can I Have it back?'
'I don't know really. I think we'll have to check with the goblins first.' He said grabbing his, Hermione's and Emily's cloaks and passing to them.
One by one they went travelled by Floo and each stood in the Leaky Cauldron. Walking out into Diagon Alley they immediately shot in the direction of Gringott's.
'Excuse me but could we please see Griphook?' Harry asked the closest goblin politely.
'Of course sir.' The Goblin said walking away shocked that a wizard actually asked for a goblin by name.
They stood there for a few minutes chatting with each other before Griphook came walking up to them. 'Ah Mr Potter, what a pleasant surprise. To what do I owe the pleasure?' Griphook asked.
'We wanted to get some gold from our vaults and see about moving ownership of the Black house.' Harry said and leaned forwards and whispered to the goblin. 'And I would also like to inquire about the Merlin and Le Fay lineages.'
The goblin gave a curt nod and led them through a door to the carts to take them their vaults and said. 'Unfortunately we cannot move ownership so Mr Black cannot reclaim the title unfortunately.'
Sirius put on a pouty face as they got into the cart and went off to their vaults. The trio filling their large leather bags to spilling point shrunk them and returned to the cart where they were takninback to the entrance.
'You three go on. I need to talk to Griphook about something.' He said following the goblin to his office.
They gave him a strange look but shrugged it off and left for the shops. Sitting in a chair across from Griphook the goblin spoke. 'Now Mr Potter what do you need to talk about Merlin and Le Fay's lineages?'
'Merlin, Le Fay.' Harry muttered into his Potter ring which split and the two rings he had requested appeared. 'It seems that Dumbledore kept these from me among other things.' Harry explained.
'Well Mr Potter I am afraid I do not know that much but I suggest you try to pull into the rings and discover what you can.' Griphook advised. 'I shall leave you alone to do this.' Standing up the goblin stood up and left the office presumably to help other wizards and witches.
Taking a few breaths Harry focused on the rings and a few runes along his arms began glowing a deep purple. Feeling two other minds entering Harry began. 'Hello.'
'Greeting Harry, we have been expecting you for a long time.' Merlin's voice rang out.
'Yes Harry, if that old fool hadn't hidden these rings we could've helped you earlier.' Le Fay said.
'He's an old fool, what do you expect. Now I was wondering how I would go about clai-.' He began before Merlin cut him off.
'Harry you do not need to do anything. You claimed them the moment you put the rings on, if you couldn't gave claimed them you wouldn't have them on your hand.'
'Yes boy, now go and make your own destiny.' Le Fay finished before Harry felt them leave his head.
Standing up slowly he walked out the door and thanks Griphook. Walking out he felt the sunlight one his body and began walking to Olivanders.
Knowing that the creepy wizard would appear any second Harry waited and sure enough he heard the tell tale noise of a ladder. 'Ah Mr Potter, back so soon. What can I help you with?' the man asked.
Taking off his holsters Harry asked. 'Can you modify these to make it so each can hold two separate wands?'
'Of course.' The wizard immediately set to work and after five minutes handed them back to Harry. 'There you go Mr Potter, that will be twelve sickles.'
Paying the man Harry slid the holsters back on and slid his first and second wand in the two separately and took our two other wands. 'I miss you mom and Dad.' Harry said before sliding his parent's wands in with the other two.
Walking around Harry picked up three Auror level handbooks and found his Godfather and two girlfriends in Magical Magnearie. 'I say you get that tabby cat Hermione.' Harry said sneaking up behind them.
They all were surprised and turned to look at Harry but not before Hermione jumped a foot into the air. 'Merlin's Beard Harry, don't scare us like that.' She said smacking him on the shoulder.
'Actually Hermione it's now my beard.' He said stroking his goatee. 'Anyway I really think you should get that cat.' He finished pointing to the one he mentioned earlier.
They got Hermione her cat and they happily walked out of the shop. Harry began changing his hair color again and got laughs from Sirius. They all went back to Potter Manor and the four of them played a mock Quidditch game with two keepers and two chasers.
Harry, Emily and Hermione all agreed that this was the best summer they had as they packed their trunks for Hogwarts the next day. 'I have to go ahead you two, I've got to set up some stuff for the feast.' He said as he pulled them into a warm embrace. 'I'll meet you on the train when I can.'
And with that he disappeared with a pop. 'Did he just-' Hermione began.
'Yes, he just apparated through the Manor and Hogwarts Wards.' She said closing her trunk.
At Hogwarts Harry sent a clone to deliver his trunk to his Dorm and entered the Great Hall. Seeing all the teachers talking among themselves Harry called them all together so they could discuss what would happen for the school year.
'Ok first I think we should discuss the Hogsmeade visits.' Harry began.
'I propose that we have at least once a month.' Remus said speaking up.
'Any objections?' Harry asked and when no one did he moved on. 'I would like to begin the Order of Chaos among the students. This will be primarily a place to practice dueling and spells considering that Pettigrew is on the loose.'
'Yes Harry, I was going to say that we should reinstate the Dueling Club but I would like to hear your idea.' Minerva said.
'The Order of Chaos will consist of several outer and inner circles and a core group. The Outer circles will consist of first to third years while the Inner circles will consist of fourth to sixth years and the Core group will consist mostly of seventh years and other students who show such potential.' He explained
'I agree, this is an excellent idea.' Lupin said.
'Ok any objections?' he asked again.
Nobody raised their hands or spoke up so they quickly dealt with all the other matters and soon Harry was sitting with Neville, Luna and Emily and Hermione who were snuggled against his side. They were chatting idly eating treats they got from the Trolley witch when the train came to an abrupt halt.
'Lumos.' Harry muttered and they could see each other. Harry looked around and noticed ice creeping along the window and felt the air drop several degree's. 'Everybody get down.' He whispered.
Opening the carriage door he saw a dark cloaked figure gliding towards him. Taking a deep breath Harry focused the most Happy moments in his life into a single thought and his hand soon pulsed with a white glow around it. Walking up to the Dementor he could hear it's slow rattling breath, it moved towards him swiftly and Harry stuck his hand to its chest. It immediately became very still and after a few seconds the light spread from Harry's hand and began moving all over the Dementor, slowly it covered the entire Dementor and turned glowing white. It's cloak no longer frayed and torn and looked the exact opposite of a Dementor.
The lights came back on and the train started moving again, walking back to the compartment he asked. 'Everyone alright?'
A quick nod from them he sat down in between Emily and Hermione again and Neville gasped when he saw the new Guardian Harry created. 'Relax Neville; it won't hurt you like a Dementor. It's the exact opposite actually. While Dementor's bring your worst memories to bear but this Guardian makes you relive the best moments in your life.' He explained.
Everyone nodded their heads in agreement since they felt better when it came in. Turning towards it Harry nodded and it disappeared, they were about to relax when they heard rather than saw Ginny crying in the hallway. Standing up Harry knelt next to Ginny and asked her. 'Ginny what's wrong?'
'I- It's R- Ron.' She said between sobs. 'I wan- wanted to sit wi- with him and his frie- friends and he told me to s- sod off.'
Pulling the girl into a warm embrace she cried into his shoulder for a few minutes before he noticed that she had fallen asleep. Picking her up gently Harry carried her back into the compartment and laid her down on a seat.
'I'm going to kill Ron.' Harry said angrily as the compartment door slid open.
'Oi Potter have you see-. What the Bloody Hell is my sister here?' he spat.
'She broke down crying after you told her sod off and I comforted her.' He said standing up angrily.
'You had no right. She is my sister, so go back to your mudblood girlfriends and leave my family alone.' Ron spat moving for his sister.
Both of Harry's forearms began glowing purple and he picked Ron up by the throat. 'You have insulted the Most Ancient and Noble House of Potter, you have encroached our rights. I challenge you to a duel the first Saturday back at Hogwarts.' Harry said barely keeping his anger in check and brought Ron closer to his face. 'Be glad I didn't make it a Blood Feud.' As he finished he tossed Ron to the side past five compartments.
Sitting back down he noticed that Ginny woke up during the confrontation. 'Sorry you had to see that Ginny.'
'It's ok Harry, he's a git and he deserved it.' She said blatantly.
'Harry what's a Blood Feud?' Hermione asked.
'Neville could you please explain it since you are Head of the House of Longbottom, I need to sort out some new stuff at Hogwarts.' He said standing up and apparating away.
Neville began explaining while Harry appeared in the Great Hall scaring a few teachers. 'Harry James Potter, don't do that and how did you apparated into Hogwarts?' Minerva asked clutching her heart.
'I could feed you some bullshit about an advantage of being Headmaster but it's a technique. Later I'll explain but first I have declared a Feud of Houses between the Potter and Weasleys.' He said and began explaining what happened on the train. 'I need one of you to referee the duel, any volunteers?' he asked.
'I will.' Flitwick squeaked.
'Thank you Fillius, now I believe that the students have arrived in Hogsmeade.' He said standing up and transfigured his robes into better fitting and more formal ones with the Five Familial Crests over his left breast pocket.
Walking up with the rest of the teachers he sat behind the Head Table while Minerva put the hat on the three legged stool in the middle of the hall. They heard chattering as they students neared the hall and they entered flooding to their tables.
Some pointed excitedly at Harry while others whispered to each other more rapidly. Once everyone was seated Harry stood and the students fell quiet in the hall as McGonagall came through the doors with the nervous First Years.
One by one they were sorted into their different house and when they finished Harry began his speech. 'Welcome to Hogwarts, I have a few announcements before we start the Feast. First and foremost the Forbidden Forest is forbidden to any and all students.' He said his gaze falling on the Weasley Twins. 'The Teachers and I have agreed to begin the Order Of Chaos, this will consist of three different levels. The outer circles will hold First to Third Years, Outer Circles will consist of Fourth to Sixth Years, while Seventh Years and more advanced Students will make up the Core Group. Now I have a few more announcement by they can wait, enjoy the feast.' Harry finished as the food appeared on the plates.
Everyone began eating and they chatted amongst themselves while enjoying the food. After deserts Harry stood up again and the attention of all the students were on him. 'Now I would like you to give a warm welcome to our new DADA teacher Remus Lupin and our new Potions Master and Auror for the Ministry Tonks.' He said and while the students clapped he got a thankful look from Tonks for not mentioning her first name. 'Now Peter Pettigrew is still out on the run and no students are to be outside after six o'clock each night and there will be dementor's guarding the entrances to the school.'
Moving his gaze to Ron who squirmed he said. 'I have declared a Familial Feud between the Potter and Weasley House due to Ronald Bilious Weasley for encroaching our rights and insulting my Family name. There will be a Dueling Combat on this Saturday in the Great Hall at eight o'clock, now off to bed you lot.' He said.
All the students got up while Ron's family were staring him down as well as the rest of the Hall. 'Emily, Hermione.' He called motioning them towards him. 'I have arranged us some different rooms.' He said smiling and walked to the wall where an archway just appeared. Taking both of their hands Harry led them through to a room with a large four poster bed big enough for the three of them.
'Harry what is this place?' Emily asked.
'This is the Founders secret room, and now it's ours.' He said before drinking from an ice cold glass of Pumpkin juice.
'Where did you get that?' Hermione asked him.
'It's the room, think of anything you want and you'll get it.' He said as the glass disappeared. 'Anyway it is time for bed so let's go.' He said grabbing some clothes and stepping into the bathroom to change while the girls changed in the bedroom, Harry came back and all three of them jumped into bed.
'WAKE UP.' A voice yelled at Harry.
Turning over he asked, 'Whasmata?' and saw Emily and Hermione standing looking at him. They got ready to yell again but he got up and said, 'I'm up, I'm up.' He quickly got changed and the three of them walked out of the wall behind the Head Table.
'You know we don't actually have to go to classes really.' Harry told them. 'We just need to make enough clones to go to our classes for us.'
'But Harry I really want to actually go to the classes.' She said.
'And you will in a clone type way.' He said scratching his goatee. 'Come on Hermione, just send a couple of clones to class and we can prank people.' Harry whispered to her.
'Harry.' She exclaimed smacking him on the shoulder. 'You're the Headmaster, you need to set a good example.'
'Well that's why I want to do it, as Headmaster I get away with a lot.' Harry said leaning back in his chair slightly and saw a pale blond boy walking towards him. 'Oh Merlin, here comes that Inbred Prat.' He complained.
'Hey Potter.' Malfoy sneered. 'Can we talk alone?'
'Sure.' Harry said eyeing him suspiciously and sent a clone when his back was turned.
'What do you want Draco.' Harry asked as they went through the doors.
'I wanted to say that I'm sorry I've been a bloody git to you and your friends. I want to make it up to you, anything you want name it.' Draco said in an almost pleading way.
'It's ok, I know your being sincere and you don't have to do anything for me. Just prove that you'll make an effort to be nice to everyone.' Harry replied.
'Everyone.' Malfoy whined.
'Ok Maybe not Ron Weasley.' Harry said.
There was a flutter of wings and Harry looked up to see the Weasley family owl flying towards him with a red envelope. Plucking the letter the owl immediately flew away and Harry noticed Ron staring at his back.
'Wonder what it says.' Harry said casually laying the envelope on the table.
'Harry, that's a howler. Open it now or it'll be worse.' Hermione hissed at him.
Picking it up Harry turned it over while the Howler usually was smoking at this point nothing was happening to this one, standing up Harry walked to Ron and began. 'Really Weasley, you can't fight you own battles so you let your mom fight them for you.'
'Hey you lis-.' Ron began but was fiercely cut off by Harry.
'No you listen, this is between you and me. If you bring anyone else into this I will change it to a Blood Feud.' Harry began walking away but said over his shoulder. 'Oh and you can have the week off to prepare, you'll need it.'
Ron paled to chalk white as Harry sat down with Hermione and Emily again. 'Harry why hasn't the Howler opened itself yet?' Emily asked him.
'Because it's scared of me, I don't know how but it is.' Harry explained. 'Anyway I've got to sort out some things before class, I'll see you there.' He said giving each of them a kiss on the lips. After walking till the doors he apparated into the Burrow's kitchen.
Molly Weasley was cleaning some dishes with her back to Harry and turned around as she heard something hit the table. 'Want to explain?' He asked menacingly.
'Yes, why the hell have you declared a Feud my Ronnikins would never do anything wrong, so call it off.' Molly yelled at Harry.
'He called two members of the Potter House Mudbloods, he made your daughter cry and blamed me not long after he did it.' Harry said lividly. 'He will fight me and I will teach him to respect other people's Houses, and like I told him. You can be glad I didn't make it a Blood Feud.' And with that he disapparated back to Hogwarts.
'HARRY.' Hermione and Emily yelled as he appeared in front of them.
'What?' He asked them.
'Don't do that. You scared us half to death.' Emily scolded him punching his shoulder.
'Sorry, do you two want to set the prank yet?' He asked.
'Sure Harry.' Hermione replied. Let's just send off our clones first.' She said as more of her appeared.
Making enough clones they sent them to their classes while they proceeded to the Gryffindor tower. The portrait of the Fat Lady opening before she saw them they sneaked up to the boy's dormitory. Each pulling out Cornish pixies that were asleep they hid them under the covers and proceeded to do the same with the girl's Dormitory.
Walking to the Dungeons the put a timer spell on the plumbing to burst the next morning and flood the Common Room and make the wall invisible.
They decided to leave the Hufflepuffs alone and decided to explore the Forbidden Forest. They found a couple of Centaurs and a big black shaggy dog.
Turning back to normal Harry said. 'Sirius you were supposed to stay at the Manor.' As the others changed back so did Sirius.
'I couldn't stay away pup. I had to check on how you were doing.' The man explained.
'It's been one day since you last saw us.' Emily said. 'You couldn't wait could you?' she asked him.
'No it's kind of boring over there.' Sirius told them.
'Well then let's go see if our prank has started yet.' Harry said.
'You set a prank without me.' Sirius said feigning a hurt look on his face.
'Come on.' Harry said before turning into Drear Wolf and ran to the castle followed by a Shaggy dog, a black panther and a tiger chasing him.
Walking through the doors of the Entrance hall they heard identical screams coming from the staircases. Walking there they saw Fred and George trying to fend off at least a dozen pixies who were throwing them with paint. All four of them doubled over with laughter clutching their sides and after five minutes of watching this they decided to help out the twins. Banishing the pixies the twins looked like a pair of unfortunate clowns.
'Why did you-'Fred said.
'Do this to us?' George finished.
'It was actually meant for the whole of Gryffindor but I guess they decided to go after you two.' Harry said chuckling.
'Well played Harry.'
'But we'll have to get you back for this.' And with that the twins walked off plotting their revenge.
'So pup I think it's time we gave you your Marauder name.' Sirius said clasping Harry on the shoulder. 'So what'll it be?'
'I say we go simple and just call him Drear after his wolf form.' Emily chimed in.
'Sounds good, I dub thee Harry Potter an official member codename Drear.' Sirius said.
'What about us?' Hermione complained. 'We want to be Marauders also.'
'I don't see why not. What should we call them Harry?' Sirius asked his Godson.
'How about Tigra and Phinx.' Harry suggested and saw both girls smile at his choice in names.
'Well there you two are the next generation of Marauders.' Sirius said. 'Now Harry tell me about this Familial Feud and you dueling Weasley this weekend.'
Harry began retelling what happened on the train and how he challenged Ron. Over the next week the four Marauders set about pulling more pranks and instead of Fred and George getting revenge they got the majority of the pranks.
On Friday night Harry, Emily, Hermione and Sirius snuck into the Gryffindor Fifth year dorm carrying two life size dummies dressed in black robes that were charmed to send pinching hexes that changed the color of the skin when they hit a person at the twins. Setting a five minute timer on them Harry apparated them to the Founders room and activated to magic cameras on the dummies faces and a window opened to show them what was happening from the dummies perspective.
Waiting another two minutes the dummies came to life and hurled the hexes at the twins. 'What the Bloody Hell?' George asked casting the Lumos spell and his face fell when he saw the dummies. 'FRED GET UP.' He yelled.
When Fred woke up with the rest of the dorm he grabbed his wand and sent a spell at the dummies but it was reflected back at him. Running out of the dormitory screaming their lungs out waking up the whole of Gryffindor they continually got pinching hexes on their asses.
'Harry you did not make it aim for their asses did you?' Sirius asked gasping for breath while the third years were rolling on the floor from laughter with tears in their eyes.
'Well Sirius… it is a big….. fleshy area.' Harry gasped back.
'MERLIN FRED, I'M BLEEDING OUT OVER HERE.' George yelled at his twin holding a patch of skin that went red from a hex.
'What is the meaning of this?' Snape yelled at the twins before he saw the dummies which promptly multiplied and began shooting hexes at Snape as well. Turning tail and running with the twins all three were screaming effectively summoning all of the other Professors and were then being chased by over a dozen dummies around the castle.
The Marauders were laughing their asses off while the students were as well at the misfortune of their Professors. Standing up Harry open an archway in front of the Professors and deactivated the dummies. Looking at the twins and the Professors Harry saw they were all an array of colors due to the modified Pinching hex.
'Sorry, the prank was only meant for the Twins.' Harry told his Professors and co workers. 'Oh and Severus I think you should check on your house Dormitory.'
When Harry said that everyone rushed to the Dungeons to find the wall gone replaced by a wall of water with students swimming around trying to get out. Most of the older students were casting bubblehead charms on the younger ones so they could breath. Snape looked mortified and stared blankly at the water containing his students and was suddenly thrown back by that very water.
Soaking wet Snape stood up and looked at Harry who said. 'Well enough of the pranks, we have a duel to get ready for.' And with that their Headmaster walked off to the Great Hall.
The other Professors arrived with the students to find the house tables gone and bleachers all around the hall circling a large stage and standing in the centre was Harry.
Each giving Harry a passionate kiss Hermione and Emily sat next to Madam Pomfrey who had a makeshift hospital set up. Emily and Hermione quickly agreed that Ron would need it.
Everyone found a place to sit and Ron and Harry stood on stage opposite each other when Flitwick spoke. 'Welcome Ladies and Gentlemen. Today we will be witnessing a duel pertaining to the Familial Feud between the Most Ancient and Most Noble and House of Potter and the House of Weasley. The rules are simple, there will be no cures aimed to kill or Dark Arts spells which will immediately escalate the duel to a Blood Feud. Combatants ready?' Receiving a bow from Harry and Ron who was paling by the second. 'Begin!' Flitwick said.
Ron tried to hit Harry with a stunner which he lazily blocked and sent his own stunner in return. Ron threw up a shield which the stunner broke through he barely had enough time to dodge. Harry kept fooling around with Ron before he decided to get serious when Ron said. 'Come on Potter, are you too lazy to fight and defend those Mudbloods so called honor.'
Harry immediately snapped, sending a fire ball at Ron who yelped but managed to dodge it but caught a small boulder in the gut. Harry levitated Ron over a hole he filled with water and dropped him into it. Spluttering Ron surfaced and sent a Dark Spell Bill taught him. 'Dissectia.' He yelled and yellow beamed flew towards Harry and nicked him in the elbow.
Harry felt his forearm explode off and then he roared in pain. Standing up after falling to his knee's Harry felt the Runes on his body activate, his dismembered body member vanished and a new forearm shot out identical to the one he lost including the Runes. 'YOU USED A DARK ARTS SPELL; THIS IS NOW A BLOOD FEUD.' Harry roared.
Harry summoned Ravenclaw's sword and swung while Ron barely conjured a Rapier blade to block his blow. Stumbling from the blow Ron stared at Harry with undisguised horror. Harry lifted his blade high into the air before he managed to control his anger. Banishing the sword he brought his staff out again aiming it directly at Ron's heart. 'Los Mordre Dissendap Mannesepo.' Bright white and thin streams of light launched from Harry's body and staff attacked Ron while others unwittingly destroyed Voldemort's Horcruxes.
While Ron collapsed to the floor and Poppy rushed to his side Harry walked to his original position and merely stood there. The students sat there in shock but Emily and Hermione rushed the stage and hugged Harry furiously while mumbling something about his arm. Putting his arms around them he comforted them and stroked their backs while his Runes dimmed slightly.
'Headmaster what have you done with him?' Madam Pomfrey asked looking at Ron on the examining table.
'I'm making him relive his worst memories, when he comes to he'll act like a proper wizard should.' Harry said as everyone began filing out the hall. Harry, Emily and Hermione left through the archway to the Founders Room.
They sat I silence for a few moments before Harry spoke. 'You two should go outside and enjoy the weather.'
'What about you Harry?' Hermione asked.
'I've got some things to take care of, don't worry I'll still be here when you get back.' He told them and ushered them out the door.
Sitting cross legged on the floor Harry began to concentrate; slowly he activated the Runes along his body and felt himself being pulled somewhere else.
Landing on his feet Harry looked around and saw he landed in what looked like a meadow in a forest. Hearing rustling behind him Harry turned and saw an old man walking towards him, Harry felt he knew this man but couldn't quite place him.
The old man was about a meter from Harry when he spoke. 'Are you just going to stand there and gawk or are you going to give your how many ever great grandpa Merlin a hug.'
Harry stood there in shock for a moment before embracing Merlin. Merlin motioned for Harry to sit on a boulder and sat facing his supposed Grandpa.
'I thought I would have to forcibly pull you here while you were asleep the way you were going at it.' Merlin joked.
'What do you mean?' Harry asked.
'Harry, as you just showed Hogwarts what you can do in that duel your power is great but it is still growing stronger.' Merlin began explaining it to him.
'So are you going to teach me how to control my power?' Harry asked.
'Yes Harry. You are already a multi animagus, an empath and a developing mage.' Merlin said.
'Ok so when do we start?' Harry asked enthusiastically standing up.
'Later Harry, but first you'll need my staff.' Merlin said standing up and giving Harry his oak staff.
'Are you sure?' Harry asked looking in wonderment at the newly acquired staff.
'Yes Harry, you'll need to in due time.' Merlin said.
Harry began training with Merlin in Leaping while in the real world his and Merlin's staff's were beginning to fuse together.
'It is time you left Harry, you're friends are waiting for you.' Merlin said waving at Harry who was being pulled away. Blinking his eyes a few times Harry looked around and saw Hermione as well as Emily standing in front of him with worried looks on their faces.
'Harry, are you okay?' Hermione asked worriedly.
'Yes Hermione I'm fine.' He said standing up and grabbing his new staff. 'I've got a bunch of things to tell you two.' He said motioning for them to sit on the bed.
They spent the next hour listening to Harry telling them about how Merlin and his new training. He showed them his new staff and explained how he got it.
'Can you teach us Harry?' Emily asked him.
'I don't think I'm really that qualified.' He began and added. 'But I think I can leap you two into my training with Merlin.' After he said that their faces lit up like fireworks.
Harry, Emil and Hermione all sat back to back a closed their eyes, Harry began concentrating and his Runes lit up. Slowly Emily and Hermione's Runes lit up as well, Hermione's glowed an electric blue while Emily's glowed a deep red. After a minute all their Runes changed and glowed a ominous black aura and they were all pulled away.
'Harry.' Merlin said. 'I did not expect you back so soon and who are these two?' he asked after embracing his descendant.
'This is Hermione and Emily, both are the Lady's of the Potter House and they wanted to train with me.' Harry explained.
'Two Lady's of the Potter House, both your then Harry?' Merlin asked. 'Anyway they both have the potential so let's train.'
They trained in Leaping for a while before Merlin decided that they need to do physical exercises. They first ran four miles before he made them swim in a river upstream.
'Was that really necessary?' Harry asked as they got out the river.
'Yes, you need to train your bodies as well as your magic.' Merlin told them. 'Now, Harry I believe that the Order of Chaos will meet tomorrow and you will have Quidditch training soon. I will see you soon enough.' And with that they were back to reality.
Looking at the girls Harry saw that his and their Runes were glowing with a black Aura. Standing up he pulled them to their feet and they got changed into their school robes. Walking into the Entrance Hall they sent clones out to class and stupidly chose to go to Divination themselves.
Walking up to the North Tower the four of them( They found Neville looking lost on the way) were talking about what they'd been doing the past week.
'Harry Crookshanks has been acting really weird. He's always trying to attack Ron's rat but another person has a rat but she leaves that one alone.' Hermione said.
'I'll talk to Crookshanks tonight Hermione.' Harry said as they began climbing up the ladder to Trelawny's class.
The first thing that hit Harry was the heat and smell. It was smoldering hot in the class and it smelled strongly of cat pee and incense. Silently casting a cooling spell on him and his Lady's the found a table to sit at.
The teacher was sitting in the shadows when she greeted them. 'Welcome class, today we will be looking at the future through tea leaves.' And as she came out of the shadows Harry's first thought was big bug. 'Each of you come to the front and get a cup, pour some water in. drink it, swirl the last dregs counter clockwise three times and turn your cup upside down.'
The three of them and Neville got up to get their cups and sat down at their table again. Harry discreetly cooled their cups of tea and they drank. Swirling it and turning it upside down they waited three minutes before passing it to their partner.
'Ok this looks like a cloud and a clover which means, you'll be free and very lucky.' Hermione guessed who was partnered with Neville.
Harry looked into Emily's glass and blacked out. Harry was now standing by the Whomping Willow outside Hogwarts. Looking around he saw Sirius in dog form running with a rat in his mouth and he was muttering in Divination while he saw this. 'Whomping Willow, Rat, Sirius.' Harry saw himself, Emily and Hermione running to the tunnel underneath the tree and Harry froze the tree while they slid underneath into the tunnel. 'Tunnel, Pettigrew. The Grim.' Harry gasped before he fell to the floor.
'Oh Merlin Harry.' Emily screamed as she saw him fall. She and Neville carried him to the Hospital Wing with Hermione walking with them.
'Madam Pomfrey.' Emily screamed as they walked through the Hospital Wing.
'What happened to him?' She asked then says. 'Put him on the bed.'
She pulled out her wand and was about to heal a cut on his face when it began closing itself up. Staring in awe she saw it completely healed itself and left no scar, running a diagnostic spell on Harry she found nothing wrong with him. 'I don't see why he's unconscious.' The matron says turning around with her back to Harry now.
'Who's unconscious?' Harry asked yawning.
The two girls immediately pulled him into a warm embrace while Poppy looked bewildered. 'What happened Harry?' they asked at the same time.
'I don't know, I looked into Emily's cup and I blacked out then I was by the Whomping Willow. I saw a big shaggy dog carrying a rat in its mouth, we ran after it and went into the tunnel under the Willow.' Harry said and lay back onto the pillows. 'Merlin this is wonderful, second week back and everyone's going to think they're Headmasters crazy.'
'They won't start thinking you're crazy Harry, they're too scared after what you did to Ron.' Hermione told him.
'That they better be, what happened to that git anyway?' Harry asked not really caring.
'That is what we would like to know Harry. What did you really do to him?' Poppy asked. 'All day he's been coming here complaining about these visions but he won't tell me what they're about.'
'Alright fine. The spell I hit him with was an ancient spell form the Potter House; it makes them see their worst moments in their lives and hinders their ability to trust.' Harry said standing up. 'I'll take it off him.'
'Young man get back in that bed.' Poppy said sternly.
'Poppy I know there is nothing wrong me and i don't think that the other Professors would like their Headmaster bedridden when I have important matters to attend to.' Harry said. 'Thank but I really must go to my office.' And with that the four of them left the Hospital Wing.
At lunch Harry sent a student to tell Ron to meet him in his office before dinner. Sitting in his office Harry waited for the mentioned Weasley boy to arrive, he felt the gargoyle allow entry to three people. Quickly checking the Marauders map he saw that it was Ronald and his twin brothers.
They walked in with Ron being flanked by Fred and George, Ron sat in the chair and the twins shifted uneasily. 'I asked to only see Ronald. You two may leave.' Harry said and they closed the door behind them with slight hesitation. Turning back to Ron he said. 'Have you learnt your lesson?'
'What lesson.' Ron spat at Harry.
Harry simply looked at the boy before saying. 'Fred, George, Ginny, Charlie, Bill, Percy, Arthur and Molly all gone.'
When he finished Ron clutched his head and screamed in pain. Harry locked his door in case Fred and George tried to come back, he held Ron like that for a full minute before Ron stopped screaming. 'You will not disrespect any muggleborns or call them Mudbloods do you hear me?' Harry said.
'Yes, I'm sorry.' Ron said tears streaming down his face. 'I won't do it ever again, I'll make it up to them. I'm sorry.'
Harry cast the counter curse and helped Ron to his feet then asked him. 'Why did you do it? We were best friends in our second year.'
'I was jealous, you had so much and my family didn't have anything. We didn't have money for fan stuff.' Ron said his tears stopping.
'Ron, I am your friend. If you ever need anything you can come to me.' Harry said opening his office door.
Over the next two weeks school was going good, Trelawney began depicting Harry's gruesome demise, Ron was on good terms again but not yet completely forgiven, Harry's training with Merlin was going even faster then Merlin expected and Megan was putting them through more rigorous Quidditch Training. At the beginning of the third week Harry decided to improve his mind's defenses.
Harry found out In the middle of the week that he had a Photographic memory and went over some of the books he read while committing others to memory. Harry entered his mind and Leaped Merlin there as well.
'Sup Grandpa.' Harry said jokingly and embraced him.
'Hey kiddo, so you want help to protect you mind more. I must say you have done a pretty good job with yours so far.' Merlin began.
The next hour Harry took the cloak off his mind and began constructing a building more secure than Azkaban itself. Harry decided to model it like a library, turning his memories into book format he began sorting them, all his nightmares and Dursley memories he locked in a basement. He added turrents with a couple ballistae's per Merlin's suggestion if they got past the beater clubbing. He formed a giant invisibility dome around the building and began shrouding it in blue fog.
'Harry, where did you get all these ideas. Your mind is actually better protected than mine.' Merlin told him astounded.
'Thanks, I was wondering If I could find a way to see my family tree.' Harry said.
'Sure kiddo.' Merlin said pulling out a think roll of parchment. 'Just put a drop of your blood on this and it will draw it. It may take a while considering yours includes many houses merging together. I'll see you next time.' And with that Merlin leaped away and Harry sat in his chambers holding the parchment.
Unrolling it he found it was bigger than a large tapestry so he hung it against the wall. Cutting his thumb open he put a drop of blood on the bottom of the parchment and immediately a picture of him and his name underneath if formed. Tapping his finger to it the picture disappeared and a long list formed:

Tapping it again the words disappeared and his picture came back, looking at it again he saw that Hermione and Emily had been added next to his with blue pulsulating lines connecting them and his parents were above them also connected by lines.
Harry left the Founder room and went searching for Emily and Hermione. Finding them on the way to Care of Magical Creatures he decided to join them. Walking down to Hagrid's cabin they talked about Harry's training and told them what he did to his mental defenses; Hermione broke away when they reached the Greenhouse while Harry and Emily continued to the edge of the Forbidden Forest.
'Hey Hagrid.' Harry called.
'Ey Arry. Your in fer a real treat teday.' Hagrid replied.
When all the Slytherin's and Ravenclaw's were there Hagrid led them to an enclosed paddock. Standing there were three Hippogriffs, their top half was covered in feathers and their legs were talons and their back half were part horse and they had hooves.
'Alrigh, now can anyone tell me what this is?' Hagrid asked his class.
Both Emily and Harry put their hands up but Harry answered the question. 'A Hippogriff, they are magical creatures that are half eagle, half horse and they are very proud creatures.'
'Well done, fifteen points to Ravenclaw. Now who wants to try and pet him?' Hagrid asked.
The rest of the class took two steps back while Harry, Emily and surprise singly Draco jumped over the fence. Harry went towards Buckbeak and bowed while holding eye contact, the animal considered Harry for a moment before bowing back. Emily got hers next after a minute while Draco had to step back once before his would bow.
'Well done ye three, thirty points to Ravenclaw and fifteen points to Slytherin. Now I suppose ye'd want te ride em.' Hagrid said. Harry and Emily jumped onto their Hippogriffs backs while Hagrid put Draco on his.
They all began flying through the air, to the three it was just like riding a broom except for the wings. They flew around for few minutes before landing. Harry leaned on the fence with Emily and watched the others, Blaise Zabini, Crabbe and Goyle took over Buckbeak and managed to get him to bow.
'See I knew it wasn't going to be hard, you're just a big dumb animal aren't you?' Blaise said clearly trying to hurt the Hippogriffs pride.
Harry heard this and immediately ran to Buckbeak, pushing Blaise out of the way Harry turned into a Hippogriff and blocked Buckbeak's slash with his talons, looking at Buckbeak Harry bowed and so did the Hippogriff opposite him.
Turning to normal Harry said to Blaise, 'Fifty points from Slytherin for disobeying instructions and a detention with MR Filch on Saturday.'
The lesson finished quickly and nobody else tried anything and Harry sent a clone to the next class and the real him went to find Filch. Entering Filch's office Harry said. 'Argus.'
Turning around the Squib saw Harry and said. 'Yes Headmaster?'
'Blaise Zabini will be serving detention with you on the Hogsmeade weekend; you may do what you want but no physical torture. But you can hang him upside down by his ankles.' When Harry said that Filch's face practically lit up and went to go find the chains.
Harry opened an archway to his chambers, looking around he saw that they were not here, he decided to leave a note for them and he Apparated to Diagon Alley.
Not to be noticed Harry gave himself Shocking pink hair and changed himself into his cousin Tonks, walking down the cobbled road and caught a glimpse of shocking pink hair not unlike his. Following it Harry walked down a dark alley and was instantly pinned to the wall by Tonks.
'Alright spill it, who are you and why do you look like me?' She hissed.
'Charming as always Tonks, I don't really appreciate being pinned to the wall.' Harry said with a chuckle as he returned his features to normal but kept the pink hair.
'Wotcher Harry, sorry about that didn't know it was you.' She said blushing slightly.
'It's okay Tonks, I was going to Gringott's to get you reinstated in the Black Family. You can come with if you want.' He told her.
'Sure.' She said smiling. 'You're just not allowed to use my face again.'
'Oh yea, someone sees me, "Look it's Harry Potter". Do you really want me mobbed?' he asked her changing himself to look like a mix between himself and Emily with Pink hair. As they walked to the bank Harry asked. 'Aren't you supposed to be teaching?'
'Don't have a class for the rest of the day, and what about you Headmaster, aren't you supposed to be in class?' she teased him.
'I've got it covered.' He told her as they walked in he turned back to normal. 'Griphook.' He called out loud.
'Yes Lord Potter.' The goblin in question said with a bow. 'How can I serve you today?'
'I would like a personal accountant for all my vaults and I would like to reinstate Nymphadora Tonks into the Black House and disown Lucious Malfoy along with Narcissa Malfoy and give Sirius Black full access to the Black Family vault.' Harry said giving Tonks grin.
After half an hour they came out of the bank with Tonks having her own key to the vault and Harry sorting everything out with his new accountant. They decided to go into Flourish and Blotts to look at the books, a choice Harry instantly regretted. On the first shelf there were titles like: Harry Potter: a History, Harry Potter the Legend, Harry Potter and his heroic quests.
'Who is the author?' Harry asked the clerk with his anger barely restrained.
'Ralphious Dodge.' The clerk replied slightly scared by Harry. 'I can you give you his contact details if you want.'
'Where does he live?' Harry asked livid.
'At 37 St Ottery Catchpole.' The clerk replied clearly scared.
'Come on Tonks.' Harry said grabbing her hand. 'Let's pay Mr Dodge a visit.' Once they were out of the store Harry apparated them to the location.
Walking up to the door Harry banged it so hard there was a small dent in it. Harry crossed his arms still holding one of the books and waited, he heard some shuffling behind the door when it opened. Standing there was a man in about his late forties, balding on top and had a large stomach.
Harry looked at the man for a second before asking. 'Ralphious Dodge?'
'Yes.' The man answered.
When Harry heard that he let loose. 'WHAT KIND OF AN BLOODY IDIOTIC, INBRED PRAT ARE YOU TO WRITE ABOUT MY LIFE.' As he began his features returned to normal. 'I WILL SUE YOU FOR EVERY KNUT YOU'RE WORTH, THIS IS PLAGERISM AND A VIOLATION OF MY PRIVACY.'
'M- M- MR Po- Potter. I- I'm sorry, i- di- didn't th- think you'- you'd mind.' He stuttered.
'YOU THOUGHT THAT I WOULDN'T MIND IF SOME PERSON WRITE LIES ABOUT ME FOR THE WORLD TO READ. I WILL SEE YOU IN COURT.' He finished and apparated him and Tonks back to Diagon Alley.
'Was that really necessary Harry, and are you serious about suing him?' Tonks asked.
'Yes I am serious and if I let him go on with it people would have written more lies about me.' Harry began. 'Let's go to the Prophet, I'll give them their next article.'
They spent about fifteen minutes giving the story to one of the journalists before they went back to Hogwarts. Tonks went to her class for the next lesson while Harry decided to visit his basilisk. Sliding down the tunnel he noticed it was grimy anymore and looked a lot brighter, walking along he opened the door.
'Basilisk, are you here?' he called out in parseltongue.
Harry heard slithering off to his right and heard, 'Yes master I am here.' After a few more seconds he could see the basilisk slithering towards him.
'How are you my friend?' Harry asked.
'I am well my Lord.' The snake said bowing its head.
'I am sorry for not asking this before but what is your name?' Harry asked.
'Salazar gave me a name but I cannot remember what it was.' The basilisk replied.
'Would you like me to give you a name?' Harry asked.
Nodding Harry called the basilisk. 'SharShara.'
'Thank you My Lord.' SharShara said. 'I have done as you asked and opened the tunnels more and there are now several above ground entrances.'
'Thank you. I must leave now but I will visit often, Goodbye SharShara.' Harry said and began walking to the door.
'Oh Harry.' Myrtle called from her toilet as she saw him.
'Hey Myrtle.' Harry said happily. 'How are you today?'
'Oh wonderful Harry you came to visit me.' She said doing a floating back flip.
'Of course, so not to be rude or anything but what's your unfinished business?' Harry asked curiously.
'Oh well, I don't really know myself.' She said floating closer to Harry. 'But I know what it can be.' She finished seductively and kissed him.
Harry was shocked at first but relaxed and then he thought, SHE CAN TOUCH ME. Pulling away he asked, 'Myrtle how can you kiss me, isn't it impossible for ghosts to touch people?'
'Well you look like a ghost to me Harry.' She said and that's when he started panicking.
Looking at his hands he saw they were pearly white and he was floating a foot off the floor Harry held out his hand and touched her cheek. Harry decided Merlin would know what to do so he leaped the man here.
'Hey Har-.' Merlin began but was promptly cut off.
'Merlin what the bloody hell happened to me.' He said gesturing to himself. 'I'm a Bloody Ghost.'
'Ah, this is your phase shifting ability Harry. I was hoping to show you it another time but now it looks like it cannot wait.' Merlin began explaining about phase shifting. 'So you see Harry, you can shift between being a ghost and a regular wizard.'
Harry closed his eyes which didn't make a difference since he could see through them; he concentrated and felt his feet hit the floor. Looking at himself he found he was flesh and bones again and quickly got an idea. Turning back into a ghost he said to Myrtle. 'Take my hand.'
Nodding she took Harry's hand and felt something pressing against her body. She felt her own feet hit the ground and looked at her hands. She had skin, she was no longer pearly white. 'Myrtle, I've given back the life that was taken from you, enjoy it.' He said.
She flung herself at Harry and began sobbing into his shoulder muttering her thank you'. Harry looked over her shoulder and saw Merlin smile at him then disappeared. Harry got Myrtle to calm down after five minutes and took her to the Founders Room.
'I can't wait to do magic again.' Myrtle said excitedly.
'Calm down Myrtle, we first need to get you a wand and test your magical core.' Harry told her. 'Grab my arm and I'll take you to Olivanders.' Walking over to him she grabbed his arm and a second later they were in Olivanders wand shop.
'Ah Mr Potter, back so soon.' Olivander said walking up to the counter. 'It can't be, Myrtle. Ten inches, Redwood, Phoenix Feather, springy good for charm work.'
'Right, Olivander we need a new wand for her.' Harry explained.
'Of course, of course.' And so the next half hour they spent looking for a new wand for Myrtle. 'Oakwood, dragon heart string, nine and a quarter inches.'
When Myrtle had the wand in her hand the space around her was filled with a warm flowing breeze. 'Thank you Mr Olivander.' Myrtle said enthusiastically.
Walking out of the store Harry asked Myrtle. 'Myrtle, I've been wondering, what's your last name?'
'Oh that, it's Gertsin.' She said to Harry before they apparated back to Hogwarts.
'Before we begin the feast.' Harry began that night. 'I have a big announcement to make. I would like to reintroduce Myrtle Gertsin to Hogwarts.' Myrtle slowly walked forwards and stood next to Harry with a shy look on her face. 'She is going to be resorted, I would like all of you to welcome her and make her feel comfortable and Fred and George.' He said looking at them. 'No pranks or it will mean war.'
The twins grinned at him as Harry summoned the sorting house and the three legged stool, Myrtle sat on the chair and Harry placed the hat on her head.
'My my, Myrtle back again are we, I suppose you wouldn't want to be in Slytherin again. Well then better be RAVENCLAW'
