For the record I have been very sick. no not covid, I have a nasty form of cancer found after my last chapter note. i had to fight for the last 2 years to survive it makes it hard to type as the treatment and meds fuck me over. I cant even remember most of 2020.
This is an idea I had, I will be putting some if not most aspects of my other Potter story in it. I will not be posting regular as this is just a way to kill my writers block and maybe get the typing going again. So compliant through book five, and Harry Ginny story so some of book six I keep. the rest i wipe my ass with, very little of book seven (Kreature)...no cursed child...no fantastic beasts.
Again Harry Ginny...time travel. If you don't enjoy this there is a button in the top left corner that is pointing left...use it.
That said,
Oh Hell Here We Go Again.
The war was over but the victory was empty, as they were all dead. Wizarding Europe was wiped out, from The British isles to Russia and everywhere in between. Harry Potter sat on the ruined cobble stones of the old village, he wasn't even sure where he was to be honest, just that his wand was split in half and smoking. His left arm was bloody and burned and he could not feel or move his legs.
Crawling over to him, Ginny Potter, his wife and much more was able to reach him as they both looked around is awe. Slowly both looked down at the mess on the ground. Tom Riddles body was nothing but a melted puddle of goo. A fitting end to one of the most evil humans in history, some say only the roman emperor Caligula was worse (a few hundred women in France would argue that)
"Can we finally live in peace?" Harry asked his love as he slowly turned his head to her.
"I hope so," she replied to tired to move.
Both knew they were dying, were ready for it, the last five years was too much. Ginny moved and helped Harry get comfy as they cuddled to the best of their ability as they waited for death.
"I see I am just in time," a voice spoke.
Both Potter's looked up to see a man standing before them,
"Hello brother, Glad to see you in such fine health," Harry spoke with a faint smile as his eyes started to dim. Ginny just nodded.
"Why is it only your family ever welcomed me?" the man spoke. "Well you and the animal."
"Tradition," Harry joked. "We are taught to never fear or disrespect you...even when we feel that you took too damn long to get here."
"Yeah," Ginny growled. "Took you long enough, what did you do, stop for tea?"
"Calm down," Harry warned her. "The point is he is here now and so we can move on and meet up with the others."
"Yeah, about that," the man spoke up causing both potter to jolt awake and look up at him.
"Fuck...tell me he is dead," Harry started. "Don't tell me he had another one of those things."
"What? no...no he is dead," the man quickly spoke trying to pacify the two. "It is just...like she said I took too long getting here. Things happened that should not have, and well, they want to give you a redo."
"Who is they, and what the fuck do you mean redo?" Harry growled.
"You mortals would call them gods...and for lack of better word so will I. As for redo, I send you back in time to your younger bodies. With all your knowledge and let you try again."
"I have read those stories, they always start strong and get real weak real fast," Harry replied.
"And only one or two are any good," Ginny added. "Besides what about paradox and messing with time and time laws?"
The thing that was death smirked,
"Paradoxes and such only happen when a human goes and messes with time without the gods permissions. And here not only do you have it, this hole idea was theirs...they can't bitch. And between you and me, that is an impressive feat."
"Can nothing in my life be simple?" Potter asked as he tried to lean back and rest.
Both Death and Ginny just stared at him,
"Fine," Harry sighed after a moment. "What are the rules?"
"Just think of the moment," Death started, a smile on his face as the two choose not to argue anymore. "I will be able to find it and poof you are were ever your bodies were at that moment. You will have all your knowledge up to this point in time, though you will have to train your bodies to handle the power."
Harry started to nod as he looked at his red headed love.
"But," Death spoke again. "There is one rule even I can't change. You can not go back further then your tenth birthday." and he was pointing at Harry. "You need those years with your aunt, his plan may have been flawed in a thousand ways, but Dumbledork actually meant well, he was not evil...just stupid."
"Easy for you to say, you didn't have to live there." Harry growled.
"When are we returning to?" Ginny asked to distract the two from a pointless argument.
"That is your choice," Harry replied without hesitation. "I suggest sometime before your first year, that way we can avoid that whole mess and everything that came from it."
She nodded but when Harry closed his eyes again she gave a thoughtful look to Death who just nodded softly,
"Ok got it," Death spoke. "This should be interesting and at the least certainly fun to watch."
"Ok, when ever you are ready lets go," Ginny spoke and looked at her love.
He saw something in her eyes and realized that letting her pick might have been a bad idea. Ginny just smiled and gave him one last kiss.
Pain...he was use to pain, but it never made it easier. First his whole body was riddled in pain, far worse then even Bellatrix's torture curse. It coursed through his body in every direction, but slowly starting to ease up a little...except in his left arm just below the elbow.
He knew that pain and cursed,
Opening his eyes he was not shocked, in his hand he held the handle to the silver ruby incrusted sword of Godric Gryffindor. The blade thrust deep into the brain of the now dead snake, the snakes fang embedded deep into his arm. He could feel the venom coursing through his veins already.
Sighing and wondering why Ginny would pick this one moment to return to. The Man in a boys body slowly made his way over to the girl laying cold on the floor as the shade of Tom Riddle talked. Picking up the diary as he slowly limped over and sat down next to her, he just looked up into the eyes of the boy that would become the most evil creature to walk Europe.
In that moment Tom riddle stopped talking, as he looked in those eyes he did not find a boy but a man...a man of pure power.
Harry just pulled the fang out of his arm and stabbed the book, killing it and ending the memory.
Fawkes came down, looked Harry in the eyes as if he knew the truth and then cried tears to heal the wound as Ginny woke up.
"Mmm...wow it worked," she said as she stretch and sat up.
"Why in the body hell did you pick when i got bit by a giant poisonous snake?" Harry growled at her.
The red head just smiled and moved to sit in his lap,
"You need the power granted from the tears and the venom, I needed to suffer this year in order to get over my fangirl crap, in order to be the woman you deserve, and remember how well mom took me joining the war with you when I was almost twenty...think how much harder it will be with me being only eleven almost twelve. We will need to do plan B again."
"I figured you would want to avoid that," Harry replied as he held her.
"I never regretted it and I enjoyed the perks," She replied.
He just sighed again and laid back on the stone, Ginny just smiled and laid on his chest,
"The only down side," she continued. "Is I have to wait till the end on my second year or more then likely my third year before we can have sex again, if you didn't noticed I enjoyed our times together."
"So did I, but we have to figure out what to do now, we will never get Sirius out legally so we have to wait for him so escape."
"We will be doing a lot of hurry up and wait," She broke in. "So first we finish today almost like before, but when you free dobby tell him to keep close, you will have to hire and bond with him as he can do magic without alerting the trace."
Harry nodded as he petted and stroked the woman child on his chest.
"We will have to deal with Ron," she spoke up.
That made them both go silent, at this moment in time Ron was still a true loyal friend and they still had time to prevent him turning, but his betrayal still hurt.
"We will have to deal with him trying to run you off again," Harry replied.
"Let him try, not this time you are stuck with me," she smirked. "Back to topic, go to your aunts, wait until your birthday, Sirius should be out by then."
"I should be able to open the castle on my birthday," Harry nodded. "What about Dumbledore?"
"If we do this quiet you should be set before he realizes anything has changed, by then he will have to get on the bus or take a hike," She growled out.
Yeah, Ginny still had not been able to find closure with all of the Headmasters choices, and she still had the viciousness that got them through so many fights.
"Harry Potter freed Dobby," the elf squeaked. "How can Dobby ever thank Harry Potter?"
"Wait for my call Dobby, I will need your help a lot in the coming months," Harry replied as he reached and shook the elf's little hand.
After that, the day went by quickly. The only thing to stand out was the fact that Ginny would not leave the three second years alone.
"RON!" Harry shouted in anger as the red headed boy started to try and force his sister to leave again. "Two things, one if you had not pushed her away all year and actually let her join us then none of this year would have happened."
Ron stared at his friend in shock,
"And two...we were tortured by Tom, he hurt us, he scarred us, he bled us and, you were lucky to be stopped by the cave in, I doubt you would have been able to withstand the attacks. We still hurt," Harry finished as Ginny moved to sit in his lap his arms quickly wrapped around her.
"Staying close together seems to help us heal, so back off my brother," Ginny finished with the growl most Weasley men feared.
The twins showed up at this moment and each one taking the arm of their little brother and carried him out to the grounds of the school. They had noticed that Harry and their sister had changed and knew it would never be the same again.
"Want to talk about it?" Hermione asked.
"We do talk Hermione," Ginny replied. "and before you start yes the books do say one should talk about their problems and not bottle them up."
"But if you read carefully they also say it can not be forced, we will talk about it when WE are ready, and will not be badgered about it," Harry finished.
Hermione was his sister in all but blood, he loved her...but her 'I'm always right, I know everything, and You should tell me everything' personality needed to go. It cost her her life last time. They were told to change it, so they will pull no punches. This hurry up and wait they were in was difficult as it was.
The bushy haired scholar was not sure how to reply, like the twins, she too noticed the change.
For the rest of the school year Harry made a point to avoid Ron and spend more time with Neville. During the war once Neville learned about the prophecy and why his parents were targeted, the once round faced kind hearted boy turned into a fighting beast. Only Ginny could match Neville in fighting spirit once the gloves came off. Harry was determined to bring the boy out of his shell and into the mix far earlier then before.
"I am shocked Ollivander would sell you a wand that wasn't a perfect match," Harry voiced one day as he and Neville were practicing the disarming spell.
"I didn't go to the wand shop," Neville replied. "My gran wanted me to use my dads old wand."
"Did you get any sparks?" Harry asked calmly.
"Not really, I got more when I tried my Mums, Gran said that wasn't a good thing...getting sparks."
Harry just nodded and waited, what his friend did not know was Harry could smell professor McGonagall stand just outside the room. She had heard ever word, Knocking on the door she stepped in causing Neville to freeze and Harry to just smile. (That smile proved to her that he had known she was there AND set up the situation)
"Mr. Longbottom," she spoke. "Are you to tell me that you have been using a wand that was not matched to you directly for the last two years?"
"Yes ma'am," the timid boy replied not sure where his stern professor was going with this.
"Come with me Mr. Longbottom, Mr. Potter, this may take some time so we will see you at dinner."
"Yes professor, see you later Neville," Harry replied and smiled to his friend.
As soon as the two left Harry turned and looked to an empty corner, Ginny just huffed as she took off the cloak,
"She might catch on if you keep doing things like this?" the girl spoke as she moved to sit next to him.
"I need her to see me as an intelligent young man and not the child Albus still thinks I am," It will help get her on our side when the time comes," Harry replied with a shrug.
"So who do we tell?" Ginny asked as she leaned into his shoulder.
"Fawkes knows, Dobby will know as soon as we complete the bonding, same with Kreature. That is a lot of power right there," Harry replied.
"I meant which Humans," Ginny smirked. "Besides Luna...she will know the moment she sees us."
"Damn Aura readers," Harry growled playful. "Where is Luna?"
"Oh, her dad came and got her out of school before I was taken down to the chamber, something about finding a new track."
"He just pulled her out of school for that...what about her grades and such?" Harry asked confused.
"No problem, she asked Professor Flitwick to take her end of year exams early...she passed," Ginny spoke as she stood up. "So any other humans?"
Both just looked at each other for several minutes,
"Animal," they spoke together.
Neville was showing off his new wand and telling everyone how McGonagall stood up to his gran as they sat eating dinner,
"She just silenced Gran and then started chewing her out for endangering the health and education of one of her Lions," he said and here he both blushed and sat up straighter.
Harry understood, Neville always questioned whether or not he was good enough to be in Gryffindor and here the house head was claiming him as one of her Lions.
"Gran looked about ready to draw and duel when professor McGonagall just said, 'remember what happened last time you drew a wand on me' and Gran backed down...she actually backed down. I didn't think anyone could do that to my Gran."
Many people, and not just Gryffindor's, were standing and sitting around him and most just nodded. This action gained the professor a lot more respect from her students. Anyone that had family that worked in the Ministry knew not to cross Lady Augusta Longbottom, even Lord Malfoy avoided her. Truth was, she was the one to kick him out as a Governor of the school, and he just went quietly with his tail between his legs.
"Then what?" Fay Dunbar asked as she sat opposite him at the table. (Harry could see that Ginny was smiling like the Cheshire cat, she and Luna had helped put those two together the first time and she planned to do it again only much quicker)
"Well we went to Ollivander, all three of us and professor McGonagall just went, 'I have no time for your games Garrick, I will personally add Five Galleons if you get it on the first try'
Neville just smiled and lifted his wand again, "Cherry and Unicorn hair, he is now five Galleons richer,"
"On the first wand?" some one called out.
"He had me over there for over ten minutes," another shouted.
Several people called out other times, then after the last one Neville and basically everyone else just turned to look at Harry,
"One hour eighteen minutes and almost every wand in his shop," Potter growled out.
It was true that it was just a game to the wand maker, when Harry found that out he waited for the old man to heal up and then...he punched him.
"That is not the best part," Neville continued after he ate a little. "Just before we returned Gran actually apologized to me...McGonagall actually made Gran apologize to me."
This was met with stunned silence and Harry knew that before the students respected the woman...now they were just in awe of her. Harry slowly turned and spotted his head of house. Back straight eyes on her food as she slowly ate her meal, he knew that pose, he cat like hearing was picking up every word spoken at the far end of the tables (that's how she could catch so many trouble makers when no one else could...she could hear them)
For a brief second he looked up and locked eyes with the young Potter, and when he winked at her she knew that he knew.
"Ok everyone," George spoke up. "Let's leave Mr. Longbottom alone."
"Yes," Fred continued. "We are leaving for the summer tomorrow and I'm sure some of you still need to pack."
Slowly most of the Lions and a few from other houses turn to look at Ron, who had been sitting and not making any noise.
Now, Ron had been a very good boy since his brothers dragged him off to explain a few things. He has said and done nothing. Both Harry and Ginny knew that could and would change at a drop of a hat. The Tri-Wizard-Tournament proved that his jealousy was deep rooted and deadly. They both made it clear IF Ron did that again there would be no second chances.
But, as of now, Ron was still a loyal friend. He was just young, immature, and stupid. The first two can be forgiven, they had been young and immature in their youth.
But Stupid, that kills, and the sight of Hermione's mangled corpse due to Ron's jealous stupidity will not be something the two time travelers will ever forget.
Back to the present,
"I can't be the only one not fully packed," Ron replied with a huff as he stood and started heading for the dorm.
Hermione Granger sat in the Train car alone. He knew the others would find her soon so she waited and thought. nether Harry nor Ginny were the same and it was clear they would not be returning to how they were before. What ever happened down in that chamber changed them permanently, and what little of their childhood they had left was gone. It was worse for Ginny who had just started her new life during her school years and now they would be forever marred by her first year.
For Harry if was different, she knew that his home life sucked and his relatives' were not kind to him. The story about Bars on the window made it clear what they did was illegal. But she was sure that if there was anything that could be done...the Professors and Headmaster would do it. It was their duty to care for the children that couldn't protect themselves.
'Really?' the voice in her head spoke up. Reminding her about how the teachers never did anything to stop those that bullied her in school, both before and after arriving at Hogwarts.
And she had no reply, so she sat there and stared out the window as she waited for her friends. First to arrive was Ron who came in and sat opposite her and offered a game of chess.
"Maybe later," she said as the door opened and the twins showed up.
"Figured we keep our little brother company," one started.
"Make sure he behaves him self," the other continued.
"That and Angelina wanted some girl time and kicked you two out of the compartment," the voice of Neville Longbottom spoke up from behind the two as he simply pushed them into the compartment and closed the door.
The change in Neville was still shocking, since he got his new wand AND McGonagall put his gran in her place, the shy forgetful boy was steadily coming out of his shell.
"Harry and Ginny will be here in a few, they said they need to run an errand," Neville spoke up as he sat next to Hermione. The Twin sat next to Ron, Fred having moved his little brother so that now Ron had a twin on each side.
Not missing a bit Ron sat up at the news Harry was with his sister alone...again.
"Remember our talk little brother," one twin started.
"But...she is our sister...aren't we suppose to watch out for her...as her brothers?" Ron asked the question again.
"And anyone else we would be with you in watching over and guarding our wee lil sister,"
"but let's face it..."
"this is..."
"Harry potter," both twins finished. "and there is no one we trust with her safety then Harry."
Harry and Ginny were moving through the train car, and it was clear, this was snake country. They had not seen any none Slytherin students since entering, they stopped at a door and knocked. When the door opened with a quick snap,
"Potter?"
"Zabini," Harry replied with a calm voice.
The two stared at each other for several seconds,
"Can I help you?" the Slytherin finally asked.
"We are here to speak with The Animal," Harry answered as if he was asked about the weather.
Harry noticed another boy stand up and stood watching, guarding. This was Pucey, and Harry now knew that Pucey came from a family of assassins. Loyal only to the contract, a contract Harry very much wanted to make. The loss of Pucey and his whole clan hurt everyone, he was an older boy just finishing his fourth year.
"Well don't stand there with the door open," a gruff voice called.
Zabini backed up and Harry and Ginny stepped in. The door was closed with a snap that sounded strangely like a mouse trap.
And Ginny was quick to pull her wand and get ready for a fight, Pucey gave a small chuckle,
"Little bold for a first year, aren't we miss Weasley?"
"Did you forget what I could do as a 'First Year' Mr. Pucey?" the gruff voice asked causing the older boy to stop smirking.
"You wished to speak?" the voice asked.
Harry looked around calmly, he knew the cabin was expanded magically. There was Tracy Davis, Daphne Greengrass, and Millicent Bulstrode. Three of the four Slytherin second year girls, Parkinson was missing and Harry feared she was already in camp Malfoy. Daphne and Ginny were eyeing each other, causing Harry to smirk as it seems that rivalry would never end.
Next in the compartment was Zabini and Pucey, they stood off to the side and just watched. Next to the windows sat two boys, one on either bench. To the right sat a rather small boy, clearly a first year but smaller then most. He look more then a little scared, opposite him was a large boy much larger them most. Harry knew he was only Fourteen but his size always shocked him.
He was big, he was strong, and he was grading papers...
"Speak Potter," the one know as Animal spoke.
"The course has shifted...it will not return," Harry spoke the words and waited.
Animal just continued to write and mark the papers for a few minutes,
"Tracy," he spoke up making everyone jump a little. "You and Millie got the same things wrong, you need to study these notes and learn to word it better."
He handed the girls a set of papers, "Remember it is only cheating if you get caught...no cheating now."
The girls and the group knew he was sending everyone away,
"Mark?" he asked causing the little boy to jump. "Here take this and head down three cars, compartment number 7. Tell him its for me and that you want a dozen of each."
Animal handed the boy a bag that was filled with coins.
"Go with him Zabini."
The boy was tore, he did not want to leave but Harry knew that Blaise Zabini was terrified of Animal. After a second he moved to follow the little boy out.
"Daphne would you watch the door?" he asked the last girl and then just flipped a coin to Pucey who caught it with a practiced ease.
The two quickly moved out of the compartment leaving Harry and Ginny alone with the Larger boy. Harry moved and sat opposite him as Ginny stayed near the door.
"Joseph I. Crawford, know as Joseph the Animal," Harry started in a voice far older this his bodies age. "Son of Robert Crawford aka Robert the Beast and Yukina Crawford, aka The Beast Tamer. A Hanyo, Demon half breed. Claimed ownership of Slytherin house first day of your first year by killing one and crippling three other students."
"How far back in time did you two come?" Animal asked calmly.
"Twelve years, three months, two weeks, four days...and a couple hours," Harry replied as he sat back.
"Who survived?"
"no one, not even us."
He went ahead and told the older boy everything that caused them to come back.
"You started the changes by getting Longbottom in the game?" Animal asked.
"We all disregarded him till fifth year, that was a mistake," Harry replied. "Once you started to train him he came out of that shell and tore the Death Eaters a new arse hole. It was just too late."
Animal just sat back and closed his eyes,
"Dumbledore?"
"Good man, bad plan," Harry replied.
"If all goes to plan, by the time he learns things have changed it will be too late," Ginny continued with a growl. "He will either have to follow our lead or stay the hell out of the way...he is not in charge any more."
Just then a beep was heard and Ginny lifted her arm and moved the sleeve of her shirt to show a watch beeping,
"We better moved, the ferret should be making his way to our cabin."
Harry nodded and stood, as they were about to open the door,
"What was my count, and how did I die?" Animal asked calmly without even opening his eyes.
"Six hundred fourteen total, so you did not meet your fathers score," Harry answered.
"You did kill one hundred and twenty-eight before you died. They did not kill you, you collapsed after you finished," Ginny continued then added. "That was after they killed Mai."
"And speaking of Mai," Harry spoke up. "Call your mother, all plans are now null so get Mai here asap."
As Harry and Ginny were just entering the Cabin with animal, Albus Dumbledore was standing in his office staring out the window,
"I am at a loss Fawkes, what was that magic pulse shortly before Harry and Miss Weasley returned from the chamber?"
The bird just trilled, 'wait and see my friend'.
This was a reply that the phoenix had been giving regularly and it was confusing the headmaster, also confusing the man was how Harry basically set it up for Neville to get a proper wand...that was not in the plan this soon. After all, both of the boys needed to maintain their innocents for as long as possible.
Before he could think about it anymore a knock at his office door pulled him from his thoughts. Calling for them to enter he found his four heads of house and the matron of the Infirmary enter. No one spoke or moved until McGonagall closed and locked the door, the Poppy reached back and punched the head master.
Now many that see the matron always figured her to be a skilled healer but they all figured she lacked other skills, They were wrong, Poppy Pomfrey was a battle axe. She had see it all, dealt with it all, and had the strength to handle the most unruly patient.
And the head master could see in her eyes as she picked him up off the floor by the collar...she was pissed.
No one reacted, correction, no one but Snape reacted and the Ravenclaw head calmly stepped in his way and shook his head without a word.
Now Snape knew, unlike with Lockhart, this Charms Professor could fight. Could he win, Snape believed so but it would be a win he would have to earn,
"YOU KNEW," McGonagall started with a growling hiss. "You knew Mr. Longbottom's wand was not a match."
"You knew the boy had a block on his magic as well," Flitwick asked calmly as he stood back and watched.
This concerned Snape who knew a bad wand and a block could be the reason for the boys lack of skills,
"Answer," Poppy growled.
Albus did the only thing he could...he nodded.
Poppy growled louder and,
"I am going to hang you up and drain you of every drop.."
"Albus," McGonagall spoke in a voice that was able to calm the matron. "If I find out you have been harming the Health or education of any student just so you can play one of your games...I will be contacting our mentor, let us see how she reacts to someone that endangers children."
Albus's eyes went wide and his skin reached a new level of pale, this pacified the matron who just released him and turned for the door.
"Wow, it has been almost thirty years since Minerva had to call her...Albus you really mess up this time," Flitwick smirked. Sprout just nodded and was the last out the door leaving Albus alone with Snape.
"We are dead, aren't we?" Snape asked calmly.
"So it is true," Draco spoke as he looked into the cabin. "Your family really did sell Potter that lil bint."
Ron looked ready to jump off his seat, and if a twin had not used a sticking charm on him he would have.
"You know it is rude to speak ill about someone behind their back," a voice interrupted.
Draco and company, which consisted of the monkeys Crabb and Goyle, The little pug nosed bitch (as Ginny loves to call her) Pansy, and Nott.
Now Harry stood with his arms crossed, a very relaxed air about him, Ginny stood off to his left and it was clear...she was hoping for a fight. These five did horrific damage before and the red head still doesn't feel they truly suffered enough for their crimes. Draco committing suicide to avoid punishment, even Harry knew they did not suffer for their crimes.
"I have been looking for you Potter," Draco snarled trying to cower Harry. (let us see...sixty foot Basilisk or Draco...yeah you do the math)
"Well here I am, whole and healthy," Harry replied moving his arms around a little in a mocking show. "Thank you for checking on me, it warms my heart...now why don't you five return to your cabin."
Naturally Ferret, the two monkeys and the pug did not get the message of dismissal. Nott however, while not an Aura reader could still sense magical power. And right now both Harry and Ginny were radiating massive levels. He also looked in Harry's eyes, and he saw the eyes of his father. A killer,
"Let's go Draco," and he just grabbed the ferret's arm and pulled not giving anyone a chance to argue.
Harry just smiled and walked into the cabin with his friends,
"Let's play hearts," Harry smiled as he sat and pulled out a deck of regular cards while simply ignoring the questions and looks that his friends asked.
"What?" Draco finally cried out as he pulled his arm our of Nott's grip.
"Shut up Draco," Nott replied in a growl. "I know you can't sense magic but did you also fail to see his eyes?"
The other three stood back and just watched, Draco for his part actually stood himself before he replied.
Potter's eyes, his eyes, he had seen those eyes before...
"They are like my fathers," Draco spoke confused.
"Our fathers," Nott corrected. "Those are the eyes of a killer, a predator. What ever happened in that chamber, changed both him and the Weasley."
"What?" Pansy asked confused.
"Both are radiating power, we really need to warn our fathers before we do anything else," Nott finished.
Draco just nodded,
"Such a shame," a voice spoke and the cabin door they were standing next too opened revealing Animal. "The first time in years you actually realize something. And it happens to be something you really shouldn't have.
The five just stared at him, fear filled them as he attack. He hit Pansy with a stunner and she dropped like a brick, he then switched to hand to hand as he started to hit the other for boys rapidly and repeatedly never giving them an inch or a second to react. Animal finished by slamming Draco's head into the large window making it crack in a massive spider web.
Animal stared at the cracks, then grabbed Malfoy by the hair on the back of his head and by his robes and moved to put him through the window and out of the moving train to his death,
"Master?" a voice spoke. "Now is not the time."
Animal just sighed and dropped his prey before turning and looking down.
Before him was his elf, Jax, and unlike many elves, Jax was not weak or broken, he knew his power, and his place. Had the ear of his master and knew only Animal could ever give him an order. Though he does tend to obey Mai and the Beast Tamer, but only by his choice.
The elf started to help move the bodies and using elven mind magic to help them forget...much more reliable then the human 'Obliviate'. After they finished with the mind wipe, the elf waved a hand and the group started to wake, that was his cue to vanish again.
Draco started to shake the cobwebs loose and that's when Animal picked him up. He grabbed the blonde by the front of his robes and just picked him up and held him (his feet were several inches off the floor)
"What the hell?" Draco shouted in fear.
Animal just slammed him into the window again making Draco hear it cracking more,
"Shut up, I am speaking, you are listening," Animal growled, and Draco knew then that he had crossed a line.
"I am tired of you and your cronies making our house look bad. Three quarters of the school...three quarters of the population believe Slytherins are evil."
He presses Draco into the slowly cracking glass,
"And you are proving them right, and worse you are constantly losing to those Lions as you do it,"
He pulled the boy off the glass and dropped him on top of Crabbe,
"We are Slytherin, we are smart, cunning, Ambitious, and patient. You five walk around like you're the cock of the walks, but none have you have earned your place in the house of the snakes even after two years."
Here he is looking down at everyone as none had yet to reach their feet.
"Your father is no longer a Governor Malfoy, he can no longer protect you, now get up and get into your cabin."
It was here the group realized all this happened right outside the cabin they had picked when they first got on the train. One by one they slowly stood and moved into the cabin, the last to reach the door was Pansy, but as she moved to enter Animal reached and grabbed her by her ear,
"Not you," he growled as she started to cry from the pain. "Her trunk?" he held out a hand.
Once Crabbe and Goyle got it down and handed it to the larger boy (who could carry it one handed) Animal looked at the boys,
"You have this summer to learn how to be a Slytherin, Starting next term I am no longer required to be gentle with you," and he just kicked the door frame causing it to slide closed.
The he just turn still holding Pansy's ear as he pulled her along,
"One girl in a cabin full of boys, yeah we don't need you bringing any more shame on the house with those rumors, open," he spoke and before Pansy could reply a cabin opened to reveal Greengrass and all the other Slytherin girls,
"Here you lost one," he just growled as he pushed the girl to a seat and pushed the trunk up into the racks before leaving.
Harry was leaning back into the seat eyes closes and petting Ginny's hair as she rested her head on his thin,
"Harry?" Ron spoke.
It was the first time he spoke to his best friend since the scene, Harry just opened his eyes. Neville and Hermione just paused, and the twins looked ready to once again interfere.
"Yes Ron?" Harry asked.
"Look, something is going on, and I don't know or at least truly understand it. But I don't want to lose my friend...I just," and he trailed off not sure how to continue.
"Ron," Harry spoke. His voice was cold and deep,
"You are jealous, you always have been, you think I have enjoyed all the attention I get, because you feel like you have never gotten any attention. Well I don't want to lose my first ever friend either. But Ginny and Neville are now part of our group, really it should of been that way from the start with Neville. but we were young and simple minded...sorry Nev," he looked to the boy who just waved it off.
"And if Riddle had not done what he done, we would have probably stayed that way a few more years," Harry continued. "But that world is gone for me and Ginny, our Innocents was ripped out of us. I hope you get a few more years before you lose yours."
Harry and Ginny have been fighting this since the return, they know this Ron is good and loyal and they have been trying to put the knowledge of the future Ron to the side. Ginny stood without being asked and Harry quickly stood as well. He reached and took Ron's shoulder with a hand.
"You are still my first friend, nothing can change that,"
then he moved and kissed the top of Hermione's head,
"Keep in touch, we will try to organize our school shopping,"
He stood up and fist bumped Nev,
"Watch for Hedwig around our birthday,"
Neville just nodded.
"Wait where are you?" Ron started finally realizing,
"We are going to spend the rest of the train ride in private," Ginny replied to her brother as she sent a glare at the other twins as well. "We need to talk alone."
"I doubt I will see any of you when the train reaches the station so I'm saying my bye's now," Harry finished as he motioned for the twins to go out the door into the hall.
Once they were out and sure they could not be heard Harry turn to one of the twins,
"I hate bullies, I have been bullied all my life, there is a line between Playful pranks and bullying, with Ron you crossed it,"
"At least fifty percent of his problems is caused by how you treated him till now," Ginny continued with her natural growl.
"You have this summer to work on it," Harry ordered.
"I have written Bill, he should be able to give you some advice," Ginny finished and turned to walk towards the end of the train.
Harry just glared at them and then followed her to the back of the train car, and into the following car which happened to be the caboose. Once the two stood on the tail end of the train and closed and sealed the door Harry leaned back against the train and watched as the tracks just grew out from the back. The steady rhythm had the same effect as watching a slowly rolling river or creek moving by.
Ginny just moved to leaned her back to his chest, and with in seconds Harry wrapped his arms around her,
"Harry, what is it?" she asked as she closed her eyes.
"Nothing, I just want to enjoy this time," Harry replied quickly.
"So do I, but I know you. Something is on your mind, so do it. What ever it is, do it so we can enjoy the rest of the trip home."
Harry just sighed as he held her closer,
"Dobby," Harry called out and the elf popped in right next to them.
He was about to cry out when Harry held up a finger silencing him,
"Two Galleons and one day off a month, and if I ask you to do anything on your one day it is fifteen Galleons end of story, And you WILL remind me," Harry ordered and looked down to the elf.
Slowly the elf nodded.
"For you to be at your most powerful, you must be bonded to the family magic," Harry continued and held out his hand. "I need your help Dobby."
The elf was half a second away from denying the bonding...but when the Great Harry Potter said that. The elf reached and grabbed his masters hand with a tight grip, and without speaking Harry Bonded the elf to him and his house.
Like most things, Humans tended to disregard elf magic, and thus proves just how stupid the wizards and witches of the day really were. Harry on the other hand knew what was happening, he saw his elf's eyes begin to glow as he learned all of his masters secrets. All of them, when the glow ended they let go and Dobby just stared at his hand flexing his fingers.
"Dobby will try not to get himself killed again Master," the elf replied in a little bit older voice. "When does master feel we will be able to bring back Kreature?"
"After Sirius gets out, we need him to open the house and take claim, then we will bond him and he too will regain his memories of before," Harry replied and closed his eyes.
"Can you get into the castle?" Harry asked after Dobby finished looking himself over.
Shaking his large bat like ears, "No master you will have to open it on your birthday."
"When we get to the station, take my trunk and Hedwig's cage. Leave me an empty duplicate, and wait till I call." Harry ordered. "And Dobby, when I call remember be silent, we will be at my aunts."
The elf nodded and vanished with a snap.
"What will we do?" Ginny asked.
"You spend time with your family, Hedwig will be waiting for your letter. let me know as soon as you win the prize, don't wait till after the picture is taken. Make sure that rat is in the picture. It won't really start till my birthday, if I recall that's the first day they had Sirius on the Non magical news, and so that is when I start."
She just nodded,
"And what will you do while I have fun with my family?" she asked again.
Harry just held up a hand and flexed his fingers. with in seconds his hand and forearm were ingulfed in blue flame,
"Try and regain control, the binding Albus tried to put on me to dampen this power failed the second he did it simply cause I knew about it from before. Now I have to try and control it, but my body is very young I may have to return to the bank."
She nodded, "Sorry but it had to be that day, we have to much to do and no time. if Albus gets word of any of this before we are set he can cause holy hell."
Ginny turned in his arms and softly kissed him.
