Remy and Draco arrived at Kingscross together on the 1st of September. Lucius and Narcissa had been called out of the country on business and Draco had spent the previous night with Remy and his dads at Grimmauld place with Uncle Siri. The adults were off to one side talking with Remy noticed the Weasleys and Chloe arrive.

Fred and George ran over to them. "Boy are we glad to see you two. If we had to spend another moment with that brat, we'd have gone crazy."

Remy looked at his sister. "What's she doing with you guys again? I thought she was returned to her parents weeks ago, they were with her at the book store."

Any response was cut off by Chloe. "Mum and dad are in New York talking to a big publisher. My book sold out in an hour and some publisher called them later the night of the book signing. They took off to America yesterday; they both have book deals in the works."

Remy groaned and shook his head. "Just what your little family needs, more publicity."

Chloe sneered. "Just disappointed because your own story didn't make the papers, save for the whole scared of a doggy incident."

Because of the laws surrounding children's protection the custody battle had not made the papers. Even Skeeter was quieted by threat of being sent to Azkaban. Only those in the court room knew that Remy was actually Harry Potter, and were sworn to secrecy.

Remy laughed. "You think I'd actually want the world to know I'm related to a spoiled brat like you? You can keep your damned publicity."

Chloe was cut off by Remus calling. "Come on kids, it's about time you guys get on the platform already."

Remy watched as his parents and the Weasleys went through the barrier and turned to leave when Chloe grabbed him by the arm. "This isn't over Remy."

Remy pulled his arm back from her. "You really think I'm scared of someone like you Chloe? Forgot your back up this time.'

Chloe looked around and pulled her wand on Remy but Draco just sneered. "Little golden girl wouldn't dare to use a spell outside of school."

With that Draco and Remy followed his parents and the Weasleys onto the platform, leaving Chloe and Ron boiling mad and vowing revenge on the other side. What Remy and his friends didn't see was that when they were trying to come through after the boys, the portal closed on them.

Saying their goodbyes the boys jumped on the train and found a compartment with their friends. George turned to Harry. "See you at school."

Fred nodded. "We'll need to work out our new pranks for the year."

Blaise, Hannah, Susan, Luna, Hermione and Neville were all soon laughing when they told them what happened. They were in for a surprise later when after the lunch trolley came around the twins were back at the door.

"You know we can't find that prat of a brother or Chloe any where." Fred said.

George nodded. "Ron was supposed to keep an eye on Ginny and we found her alone in a compartment. Seems Percy was to cool to stay with her."

Remy wasn't surprised by Percy but was a bit shocked by the missing Slytherins. "Little snakes, hiding some where probably. Trying to plot some grand revenge."

The twins nodded. "We're going to go check on Ginny. She's a big scared about leaving home. We'll take her to see Lee."

When they were gone Remy shrugged his shoulders and decided not to let it bother him at all. The absence of Chloe and her little goon meant a quieter ride for them to school and he sat back to enjoy a game of exploding snap with Draco and Blaise.

Later at the opening feast they were sitting at the table anxiously waiting to see where Ginny would be placed. All of her family had been Gryffindors or Slytherins, and while she lacked the courage of her older brothers, they didn't see her making much of a snake either. It turns out Ginny was to break tradition again.

When she sat down on the stool the hat took longer then with any Weasley before, then shouted "Huffelpuff."

She ran off looking to what Remy though was with a look of relief. Fred smiled. "She'll be happy there. She was always a bit timid to do well in our house."

George nodded. "Just glad she didn't end up with the snakes like Percy and Ron. Though Ginny is to sweet hearted to end up there."

Remy looked at the snake table. "You know I still don't see your brother and the golden girl any where."

Draco shrugged his shoulders. "It's the first day of school; they couldn't have gotten into too much trouble. Probably off to talk to Dumbledore. He's not here either."

Remy had noticed that the headmaster's chair was empty as was Professor Slughorn's. "I wonder what that's about."

They were heading off to bed though when Lee Jordan ran up to them. He had over heard Filch screaming about students causing damage, earlier, and had stopped to find out the gossip.

"The little golden girl and her friend drove a flying car to school. It seems they crashed it into a tree." Lee said.

Fred groaned. "Dad's car. He made the mistake of showing it to Chloe when she was at our house this summer. Must have thought it was cool to drive it."

Remy smirked. "She's in for it now. I can't see her getting fewer then a week's worth of detentions for that at the very least."

George grinned. "Even worse, I know mum will be sending a howler tomorrow. She does it when ever one of us gets into big trouble at school."

The friends headed off to their dorms and when Remy was about to go to sleep he was shocked to find a house elf by the edge of his bed. He was even more shocked to see that it was Tootie.

"Master Remy." The little house elf bowed and said quietly but Draco and Blaise heard and came over.



"Tootie, what are you doing here?" Remy asked with surprise.

"Master Potter gave me clothes after he found I helped you escape. Professor Dumbledore sir gave me job here at school." The little house elf squeaked.

Remy was surprised but happy. "Tootie, I'm sorry I got you into trouble."

Tootie shook his head. "Master is good. Tootie happy he help little master. Tootie happy to work here at school. Tootie still see little master."

Remy's friends had heard the entire story. Draco smiled. "You know we'd be happy if you came and visited. You remind me of Dobby."

Tootie had not just come to say hi though. "Master Remy need to be careful, Tootie's former masters are bad people. They want to hurt Master Remy."

Remy bit his lip. "Tootie do you know what they are going to do?""

Tootie shook his head. "Tootie can't tell. Tootie still served master when Tootie heard. Tootie not able to tell anything."

Remy understood and wouldn't force the little elf. "Thank you for telling me Tootie."

The little house elf bobbed. "Tootie protect Master Remy at train station. Close barrier so little mistress couldn't attack him."

Remy was suddenly aware of why Chloe had not made the train. "Tootie, could you continue to keep an eye on Chloe for me. I know you couldn't tell me anything from when you served the Potters, but now you could."

The elf grinned. "That why Dumbledore hired Tootie. Tootie to keep an eye out and make sure Master Remy safe. Tootie keep an eye on Remy for you."

When the little house elf disappeared the three friends shared a strange look wondering what kind of trouble the Potters were going to cook up this year. The warnings of the house elf made them all a bit anxious. They had grown up around house elves and knew that for Tootie to even warn Remy even if he had not told Remy any details was a huge thing for a house elf. Even after they were freed, house elves were bound by strong blood magic never to reveal secrets they knew of their former masters, to anyone.

In the morning they were telling the twins what had gone down the night before when the owl post arrived and their attention was drawn to the Slytherin table and all thoughts of the worries of the night before had been cut off.

Chloe and Ron were both staring in horror at a red envelope that had been dropped in front of Ron. Percy looked at his brother. "Open it soon or it'll be louder."

The howler exploded and the voice of Molly Weasley was soon filling the great hall

Ronald Weasley what were you thinking? You and Chloe driving your father's car to school. You were spotted by a dozen muggles. Your father could have lost his job. If you ever even step another toe out of line I promise your father and I will remove you from that school immediately. I have never been so embarrassed of one of my children in my life.

Remy and his friends broke into laughter as Ron and Chloe both took off. "Best breakfast entertainment I have ever had." Remy managed through a fit of laughter.

Fred nodded. "Mum sent us one in our second year when we blew up a toilet in the girls' bathroom with a stunt that went wrong."

Remy and his friends looked down at their new time tables. "We should get going. We have transfiguration and you know how McGonagall is about being on time."

They all gathered their books and bags and the three second years headed off for their first class of the day with the Ravenclaws. The warnings of the house elf were forgotten in the laughter of the howler and then in their first class of the year.
