an: Harry has an orgy with the entire quidditch team? Albus starts fucking blue goats or pink unicorns? Vampires eat the ministry and Percy is named minister of magic? Any of this interesting enough for a review. anything? Maybe crossdressing hookers become teachers? will that excite you enough to review?

It was July 1991, and Harry's thirteenth birthday. It had been two years since he found about this world, and who he was. And while he still struggled, he was doing so much better. Molly had been worried about leaving him with the Tonks', but had seen she was right. Harry had spent a few afternoons a week at the Burrow, when Ted had to work. And he would spend the odd weekend with them as well, whenever he chose. But living with his Aunt and Uncle, had done the best for him. He and Ted had grown extremely close, as Ted taught him chess, and helped tutor him. Ted had understood better than most, he was muggle born, he knew the world Harry had grown up in. Harry also became close with Tonks, and even with Draco. He knew Draco would be a Slytherin, but he knew they would still be friends.

Ron would be coming to school this year, and Ginny and Bill would be the only ones not there. Charlie was taking over third and fourth year care of magical creatures classes, though playing quidditch still. Kettleburn planned to retire in a few years, and Albus was considering Charlie taking the senior classes, and Hagrid taking over what Charlie taught now. Harry was happy, to have his big brother at school, at least part time.

A day after his birthday he was celebrating with the Black side, on the coast. "Excited about school?"

Draco grinned. "Glad I get to start."

Harry was happy. "I am glad for you, but not another cousin."

Draco knew he spoke of Ron. "I had hoped he'd not get in."

Harry reminded him. "You won't be the one stuck with him."

Lucius reminded his son. "You of course will be a Slytherin."

Draco agreed. "And we both know Ron won't."

Harry laughed a little. "He is a pureblood."

Tonks nudged him. "I am sure he and Draco could be best friends."

Draco went stock white. "Weasleys are all Gryffindors."

Harry groaned. "Don't remind me."

Draco shrugged. "Easier to prank him."

Harry smirked. "A different house would not save him."

Ted shook his head. "You have spent too much time with Draco."

Harry shot his Uncle a look. "How is that?"

Andromeda agreed with her husband. "He is rubbing off on you."

Lucius laughed. "Too bad not before eleven, could have been a snake."

Harry groaned. "Happy as a lion thank you."

Draco reminded him. "We're still going to be friends."

Harry agreed. "Just don't go making chummy with him."

Draco of course knew who he spoke of, he had heard enough stories. Two years of school, and Adrian was as always a thorn in his side. Draco wanted to play quidditch though, and Adrian was on the team. Harry knew he would have friends in his house, Harry had friends in his house. But the two of them were cousins, and they had become friends. Draco was two years younger than him, so there was already a difference. He would always be closer to the twins, but he had embraced the Black side of his family. He wished he could have known his dads, but never would have. But in the Weasleys he had a link to his dad Fabian, and in these here, he had a link to Papa Regulus.

Severus had arrived with Remus, and came down to the beach. Harry's friends had been at his party at the Burrow, it was only his family here. He and the potions master had become closer, though in secret. Severus from time to time, allowed Harry to help with a potion, and spoke.

Harry smiled when he saw Remus. "I had hoped you'd come."

Remus smiled. "You know I would not miss it."

Severus surprised him. "You may see him more often."

Harry was shocked. "Really?"

Remus nodded. "I have been convinced to move closer."

Lucius saw his concern. "We have ensured it is safe."

Narcissa agreed. "We would not risk him."

Harry hugged the man. "I want to see you more, but only if safe."

Remus kissed his head. "You will not risk me."

Harry accepted a gift. "You didn't need to give me anything, having you here is enough."

Remus shook his head. "Some things never change."

Severus agreed. "He has a lot of both his dads, and adoptive parents in there."

Remus raised an eyebrow. "Adoptive parents?"

Severus smirked. "There is a bit of a marauder, thanks to the twins."

Remus laughed. "Here I thought you almost complimented James."

Severus shook his head. "Indeed."

Harry was as humble as always, and never asked for anything. His trusts were untouched, his family paid for his needs, and Harry didn't want to be spoiled. He had got gifts from the Weasleys and friends yesterday, and some today as well. He received a Nimbus 2000 for his birthday, he was reminded he was seeker. Draco had been given the same broom, his birthday a few weeks before. Most of his gifts were books, and such. He was surprised to find a book on animagus forms, from Remus. Remus didn't say much, but promised to explain later on.

As the boys were down on the beach Remus looked at Lucius. "Severus said you'd help."

Lucius nodded. "I know my wife's cousin is innocent."

Narcissa nodded. "No one could believe he'd do that."

Remus agreed. "We need to get him out of prison."

Lucius assured him. "I have my men finding proof."

Remus watched Harry. "We have to be careful."

Narcissa reminded him. "Albus will be busy with Neville."

Andromeda agreed. "The truth will hit the papers soon."

Remus wasn't sure. "Albus will not just forget about Harry."

Severus agreed. "But he will be kept busy."

Lucius watched the boys. "Harry knows to be careful."

Severus reminded Remus of the book. "And one more set of eyes on him."

Remus smiled. "I am grateful I learned."

He had nothing but time, when he had been on the island. He had never become an animagus in school, he was already a wolf. But he had been studying, to become a shifter, to control his wolf side. He had managed, he could turn, even not on a full moon. Between it and the potion, he was under control, and no real risk on a full moon. But he had also become an animagus, Severus had suggested it, and given him the potion. He was an owl. It was odd a person could have two forms, but he was reminded his wolf was not a form, it was something different. The fact his two form were so different, was a true example of who he was. The wolf was almost like a split personality for Remus, a different identity.

Severus reminded him. "You can come to school more often, and help teach Harry."

Harry headed for school shopping with the Weasleys, as he always did. Andromeda supplied the money, and made sure Harry didn't feel guilty. It had been hard last summer, when he saw the twins with second hand goods. But the twins had finally convinced him, they were not jealous. They had made beaters on the quidditch team last year, and would be sharing Harry's old Clean Sweep. The only one in the family who was jealous was Ron, and that would never change. Ron was getting a new wand, but everything else was used.

Harry was happy to shop with his brothers, as much as he loved his Aunt and Uncle. The adults let them shop alone, after they did robes. Ron and Ginny were the only ones who had to stay with the adults. For Ginny it was her age, Ron it was because they didn't trust him at all.

Fred groaned as they went into the book store. "Let's get this over with."

George nodded. "Not as bad as the apothecary."

Harry shrugged. "I like it."

Fred shook his head. "I can't believe you are not taking magical creatures with us."

George agreed. "Charlie is our teacher."

Harry shook his head. "I can only take two."

Fred did understand. "You spend enough time with Hagrid, and Charlie will let you hang out."

George winced. "Not sure why we are doing divination."

Fred shrugged. "Better than muggle studies."

Harry reminded them. "You could take ancient runes and arithmancy with me."

Fred practically choked. "I don't see that happening."

George agreed. "We'll leave that to you."

Harry picked up a new runes book. "I'd rather this then tea leaves."

Harry's practical magic had been doing better with the years, and he had been top student last year. The twins planned to open a joke shop one day, and Harry helped a bit already. But Harry though getting better in practical, liked his theory classes. He liked the thought of working in archives or maybe an apothecary, or in potions. Professor Snape had been reluctant at first, but had been tutoring him a bit in private. He still used the little hide away, in the empty classroom down in the dungeons. Severus had started to join him in the room.

When they were done the boring in the twins' mind stops, like books and potions, they could enjoy the afternoon. Harry took the twins towards ice cream. They were never jealous, but he always made sure to be generous with them.

Fred whispered. "Look who it is."

George nodded. "Heard he would come to school."

Harry saw. "We shouldn't stare."

Fred was reminded it was once Harry. "I am sure he will get enough of that."

George turned back to ice cream. "He doesn't look much like a hero."

Harry reminded them. "They said the same about me."

Fred reminded him. "Because you were too old."

Harry shook his head. "No, because of my size."

George put a hand on his arm. "You are growing."

Fred agreed with his twin. "And confidence."

Harry smiled a little. "On the pitch at least."

Fred laughed. "Continued our brother's winning streak, eight years now."

George winced. "Luckily no opening this year."

Harry agreed. "Ron thinks he can make the team."

The team had changed a lot last year. It would be three years until they would need to replace anyone, as Oliver was now the oldest member. The twins were beaters, Alicia and Angie had made chasers, and Harry was seeker. A second year named Katie, would move up this year, to a starter. The old beater had just finished school this summer, but Charlie had try outs, and the twins had beaten them. Try outs were not common, unless an opening came up through graduation. But from time to time, a player could be replaced, if they weren't doing the best. Ron was hoping that he could convince them to do try outs, and he could replace Harry. It was a joke, even if Oliver held a try out, Ron would never beat Harry.

Harry avoided Neville until they were back at the book store to meet Molly. "Crap."

Fred saw his eyes. "Adrian. The only upside to the kid, he is a good guinea pig."

George reminded Harry. "Your other cousin and he may become chummy."

Harry smirked. "He assured me not, except for quidditch."

Fred was happy. "Wouldn't want to have to hex him."

Adrian was laughing with one of his friends. "Look at that porker, what a disgrace."

His friend agreed. "Even more pathetic then my father told me."

Adrian agreed. "I thought the former hero was pathetic."

His friend smiled. "The train ride could be fun."

Adrian whispered. "Who says we have to wait so long."

Harry looked at the twins. "I think the kid could use some help."

Fred nodded. "We have a new product to test."

Neville was confused as the two big guys came up to him. "Excuse me."

Adrian stopped him. "So you think you are some hero?"

Neville stuttered. "I don't think I am any….."

Mike cut him off. "We need to give you a proper hero's welcome."

Adrian had his wand out, and Neville looked worried, even if Adrian was under age. Adrian didn't need his wand, he had his own joke product, fresh from Zonkos. Unfortunately for him, Fred used his own product, a little boomerang type tool, inspired by stories from Bill. Adrian found his stink pellet released over his own head. Harry and the twins could barely contain their laughter, as Adrian raced out of there, smelling like a skunk. Neville's Gran had come over, and sent the boys a look, and went to lead her grandson off.

Neville called though before he was gone. "Thanks."

Ron was thrilled, he finally got to go to school like his brothers. He hated being at home with his sister, while his brothers had the fun. He had every intention of showing up Harry, once and for all. He knew he would be a lion like his brothers, and unfortunately like Harry as well. He was reminded Harry's dad had been a lion, but he was also a Black. But the thought the cry baby would be a snake, was a total laugh. He had no idea how the kid made a lion, he should have been a Hufflepuff. Ron had never been so happy as when the kid moved out, and wished he'd stay out. He did the best to avoid the house, on days Harry came to visit, when Ted was working. He wondered if the man came out of retirement due to Harry. He would likely want to work as well, if it was a way to get away from Harry. But Harry seemed to have worked his magic on them too.

Harry, the twins, Lee, Angie and Alicia were all in a compartment together. Fred and George had a bit of a crush on the girls, though they would never admit it. Harry reminded them of it, any time they gave him a hard time, about Oliver. They were convinced Oliver crushed on Harry too. A few compartments down, Ron found he had little choice, in where to sit. He was not pleased at all, but things would change.

A girl with big teeth turned to him. "Hi, I am Hermione."

Ron grunted as he sat down. "Ron."

Neville looked up. "Neville."

Ron smirked. "My luck."

Hermione looked at the kid. "What is wrong with you?"

Ron winced. "I used to live with the fake one. Now I have to deal with the real boy who lived."

Hermione was confused. "I read about it in the history books. His name is Harry."

Neville shook his head. "The books are wrong."

Ron looked at her. "Let me guess, muggle born?"

Hermione nodded. "My parents are dentists."

Neville smiled a little. "I lived muggle in France with my gran the last two years."

Ron was furious. "Read a newspaper. Harry Potter was a fraud, and this is the real hero."

Hermione shot him a nasty look. "I don't read gossip."

Ron stood up. "I can't stomach more of this."

Hermione called after him. "You won't be missed."

Ron was in a foul mood, as he headed down the train, looking for some where to sit. There had to be somewhere else, other than with a muggle now it all and the hero. There may have been a time when he would have tried to kiss up to Neville, but that was long gone now. He had lived with one kid, who some people still thought was a hero. He didn't need anyone else with an ego, and he definitely didn't want to be a side kick. He had lived in the shadow of his brothers and it would be worse at school, that was bad enough.

Unfortunately he had little luck, he was sure that would change, when he had his own house mates. He was heading back, but he needed to stop and take a leak. He saw Neville coming his way, but they were both in for a shock.

Adrian and Mike appeared. "We have been looking all over for you."

Neville backed up. "I was going."

Ron stopped him. "That seems bad manners."

Adrian smiled. "We have to thank you for the book store."

Mike grabbed Neville. "I think the toilet is free."

Ron laughed as Neville was dragged near it. "Have fun porker."

Adrian grabbed him. "Oh there is another one for you."

Ron pointed out. "But I helped you."

Adrian smirked. "I'd have got him. Besides, I owe your brothers."

Ron spat. "Those traitors are no brothers of mine."

Fred's voice came from behind. "Is that any way to speak of us?"

George agreed as he rescued Neville and shoved Michael head first into the toilet. "You need to cool off."

Adrian looked at them. "Coming to rescue your little brother?"

Fred smirked. "He is all yours."

George added as they passed. "Just don't hurt him too bad."

Adrian pulled Ron into the bathroom. "Seems your family can't even stand you."

Harry surprised the twins when he locked them both in. "I think they could enjoy some quality time together."

Fred clapped him on the back. "We are finally rubbing off on you."

They laughed as they headed back to their compartment, and bought some food along the way. They did take pity, and let Ron out, with time to put on his robes. They were laughing all the way up to school, and could see that Adrian was just as furious. Harry watched the sorting, and shared a small smile with Draco. He was not surprised his cousin was a Slytherin, they would still manage to be friends.

Ron gawked hen Hermione had been a Gryffindor. "Great."

Neville looked at him. "Maybe you won't be."

Ron sneered. "My family always is."

Neville shrugged when his name was called. "Maybe you will break tradition."

The hat took a bit before it called for Neville. "Gryffindor."

Ron groaned. "This can't be happening."

The hat finally called. "Weasley, Ronald Bilius."

Harry shook his head. "Wish we could bribe the hat."

Fred agreed. "Five years of him."

Ron and his brothers were shocked when the hat called. "Hufflepuff."

Ron stammered. "Neville maybe, but me?"

Minerva motioned him to take his seat. "Go join your house."

George was laughing. "Poor Hufflepuff. They do get stuck with everyone who doesn't fit in other houses."

Harry pointed out. "They do have some good guys, like Cedric."

Fred turned to him. "I wouldn't let Oliver hear you, he may be jealous."

Harry blushed, and reminded them he knew Cedric only through quidditch. He had no interest in him, and he thought the Oliver talk was crazy. The twins could see Oliver looking, and wondered how long it would take. Harry was only thirteen, so young though. Oliver would have to find a way to be at school, as Harry was two years younger. They were sure they could set the two of them up, in a year or so.

Harry raised his goblet. "A toast to the good taste of the hat, making Ron the first Weasley not to be a Gryffindor."

An: So Neville enters for real, and the excitement at school will begin. Elements from the book will enter, not the stone, but the Tri-wizard and others. And Sirius of course. Voldemort Will Not.
