Chapter 39: The Sorting And Differences Of Opinion
"Zach, if you're trying to pick a fight, I'm not biting, I know some would say that's a coward, but no, I know better then to do this, in hearing range of the entire faculty." I said to him and he sighed. "So I heard you and Malfoy are living with Black right now." he said and I said it sternly. "If you're trying attempted brainwashing, nice try, I'm not falling for it, but in truth, the truth was always in reverse here, Pettigrew sold my family out to Riddle, who is Lord Voldemort."
"He shouted to say dad did, cut his finger off, then changed into his animagus form, said being a rat, Dumbledore knew this for 10 years, this was in my parents will. If he sold them out, us out, dad was to hunt him down and bring him to Mr. Crouch, Madam Bones and the Minister. He sealed my parents will, kidnapped me away from my family, my real family. My parents chose a few people for me to live with, including Dora Tonks's parents." I said sternly and he paled then.
"You're one of his brain dead drones, aren't you?" I said and he flinched and I nodded sternly then. "Then forget about it, I'm not listening to whatever you have to say, and you can tell this to your beloved Professor Dumbledore and I know you're listening, headmaster." I said and I felt a flinch shoot through the link at that. "Because I am getting sick and tired of being manipulated here, but nothing's going to change ever, but you're close to jumping out of the firepan here."
"And right into the fire, you know what that means?" I asked and he shook his head shaking then. "It means your situation is bad and keeps getting worse here right now, how much did you study forward, you know who Greyback?" I asked sternly and he shook his head. " You know how Neville came to be raised by his grandmother?" I asked and he shook his head shaking. "Do you know how Marlene Mckinnon died, Benjy Fenwick, Dorcas Meadowes, Caradoc Dearhorn."
"The Prewett twins?" I said and he swallowed hard. "They were all killed, and because of a spy right now, Pettigrew is that spy." I said and he started shaking, realizing I knew exactly what he was trying to do. "Don't bother, I am not listening and just so you know, she left the link open, they heard the entire conversation, through Professor Snape." I said and he went white at that. "Get back in line, before she thinkings you're picking a fight." I said with a tone of finality then.
Zach glares at me, before Minerva arrived and taps him on the shoulder with a roll call list, and he gives me one last glare. "Indeed and young man, maybe you should consider house characteristics, because attempted coercion is cunning and that's a Slytherin trait." she said and he paled, not realizing he was acting like a Slytherin. "As is the picking on someone, just because of appearance, so you're a green bellie, well get ready." I said and she nodded sternly.
"Lord 2 in one night, come on, enough already, treating others like gutter trash, just because they're from hardworking families, you're as bad as a Slytherin, or rather a Death Eater. What's next exactly, 'You see, unlike some, my father can afford the best', but at least on Gryffindor. Nobody had to buy their way in, and say it, and you're getting detention before the year even starts." Hermione said and she nodded in agreement as I saw Remus with his arms crossed.
And I nudged her and she nodded, as Dean, Seamus, Neville, and the girls exchanged grins, knowing exactly what I was trying to say to her. "Message received and understood, but we can discuss this later." she said and I nodded. "Guys group up, don't rise to the bait, stick together, we're a pride, we work as one, guys." I said and our gang assembled and Minerva smiled in approval at my remark, as our side of the class assembled into a single group then for her.
"Indeed, but 10 points for not taking the bait, Mister Potter." she said and I smiled then. "We're ready for you now, follow me, the sorting is beginning now." she said and we nodded, as she lead us into the great hall, and I saw some of the muggleborns looking up at the view then. "Oh that's wicked, we can actually stargaze at night, during third year this way right now here." Dean said smiling and Hermione chuckled as she said it then as I looked at them smiling then.
"It's not real, the ceiling, it's just bewitched to look like the night sky, I read about it in Hogwarts: A History." I said, saying with her and she nudged me smiling and the faculty chuckled, knowing we put our relationship back into place at that. "If I didn't know any better, you're really acting like you're twins here, you guys." Sally said from behind us and I nodded. "I know, things changed and got better." I said to her gently and they smiled and nodded gently.
As Minerva leads us to the front where the Sorting Hat lies on the stool. "Will you wait along here, please? Now, before we begin, Professor Dumbledore would like to say a few words. She said and I nodded then. "I have a few start of term notices I wish to announce. The first years please note that the dark forest is strictly forbidden to all students. Also, our caretaker, Mr. Filch has asked me to remind you that the 3rd floor corridor on the right hand side is out of bounds."
"And to everyone who does not wish to die a most painful death. Thank you." he said and I crossed my arms. "Maybe you could be more imperative and clarify why we can't go into that hall?" I heard from Percy and he swallowed. "Thank you Mr. Weasley, to answer that question is there is level 10 artifact in that hall we're protecting from the Death Eaters. And we got a class XXXXX creature in that room covering a trap door." Minerva said and they all nodded sternly.
"Class 5 huh, well with knowing that now, and us drawing heavily on greek mythology, and that hall or trap door is being guarded like the entrance into hades. We got a Cerbereus in this castle now, a fully grown one." I said and she nodded and Hermione and I exchanged looks. "Indeed and 10 points for that observation." she said and the 5th years at the tables exchanged smiles, knowing whichever of them ended up with me, I just got us our first score that night in points.
"Anyone catch this, that knowing exactly our world is drawing heavily on Greek mythology, that with a Cerberus in the castle, that trapdoor is like going into the entrance into hades. And he's guarding the trapdoor the way the Cerberus guarded the entrance into Hades. At least there isn't a River Of Styx in this castle, or we got a problem here, but watch it here. Because you're going to develop an Achilles heel from that: a weak-spot." Hermione added and they nodded.
"Indeed and take another 10 points." Remus said and the tables exchanges smiles, knowing with us acting like this, we just earned them 30 points in under an hour. "But my class is doing more then magic, I'm covering Ancient History, Mythology and Urban Legends. And the chamber falls under that, so class gets more interesting here now." he said and we smiled and I saw an annoyed look on Dumbledore, knowing he was irritated that Madam Marchbanks ripped it apart.
In his decisions then, knowing everything chosen, was tearing apart his perfect little world in the school. "So you have history till year 3, Remus, dueling club, we inputted said books into the school, muggle sports. Movies, books and music, Ginny's class as well, well Headmaster, this helps now. As nothing needs to be ran by you anymore, we're not needing to worry, as you're demoted." Slughorn said sternly and he flinched, realizing he lost his credibility completely then.
As they were doing everything for him, shaking as the houses now had two adults each. "My house remember what I said now now, as based on what Professor Lupin said now. It's a fight broke out on the train, so Slytherin house, house meeting after dinner." he said and they nodded. "Yes Professor Slughorn." they all said together and the Death Eaters all paled at that news. "Gryffindor." "Hufflepuff." "Ravenclaw." "Yes Professor!" Everyone said together at that.
But knowing I was a preteen version of Percy, I was giving the very same line he did to the hat, so I was coming home to Percy and the rest of our family at Gryffindor then. "Anyone paying attention now that we decided to stop messing around and get serious. And thank god dad's not here to deliver that joke, I'm now about to unload everything I got academically?" I asked and she chuckled and nodded. "Indeed we did, but ease back, dear." Eileen said with a gentle smile.
"And to repeat that, that joke got old by the time we were 16, in your father's case, baby, but you don't have to get wise with us here." Cunningham said with a smile and I nodded as I looked at her and Addams smiling. "I take it you heard the entire rant from the hallway at the attempted coercion?" I asked and Severus crossed his arms. "Indeed we did, but you're about to hear each house traits in a minute, so examine your behavior here." he said for Minerva then.
"Alright thank you for telling us this and we will follow orders, Professor." Sarah said and she nodded smiling at the others as they settled in. "Aside from that right now, Headmaster, how stupid do you think we are, with that vague remark. Before Percy gets a clarification to protect our youngest, it's our job to protect our baby brothers and sisters." Cedric said and I heard it gently then. 'Indeed, that's exactly what I want to hear.' from Severus then gently at that.
"Hey Uncle Sev' Uncle Remus, group meeting of the pro order cub to adult, before you guys meet up with dad and his side tonight, my house." I said and they nodded smiling. "Got it Harry and thank you for telling us that, we will be sure to meet up, if it's after light's out tonight." he said to smiling then and we nodded gently then. 'See you in class tomorrow, Uncle Sev'.' I thought to him, as Mione and Draco added their voices to mine and he smiled at us then.
'Hello cubs, see you in class tomorrow.' he thought back to us, as she said it. "The Sorting ceremony shall begin now." Minerva said and we nodded as the hat started talking to us as he sang it. "Oh you may not think I'm pretty, but don't judge on what you see, I'll eat myself if you can find, a smarter hat than me. You can keep your bowlers black, your top hats sleek and tall, for I'm the Hogwarts Sorting Hat and I can cap them all."
"There's nothing hidden in your head, the Sorting Hat can't see, so try me on and I will tell you, where you ought to be: You might belong in Gryffindor. In where dwell the brave at heart, their daring, nerve, and chivalry, set Gryffindors apart, You might belong in Hufflepuff. Where they are just and loyal, those patient Hufflepuffs are true, and unafraid of toil, or yet in wise old Ravenclaw, if you've a ready mind."
"Where those of wit and learning, will always find their kind, or perhaps in Slytherin, you'll make your real friends, those cunning folks. Use any means, to achieve their ends, so put me on! Don't be afraid, and don't get in a flap!, you're in safe hands (though I have none). For I'm a Thinking Cap!" he sang out and the rest of the school started clapping as we relaxed smiling, as the 5 of us wanted to stay together now.
'Eat himself, that's going to be difficult.' I thought and Severus had a smile on his face and I knew heard that. 'I'll say, he's going to turn himself inside out if he does that right now.' Draco thought and I tried to keep from laughing. 'Get it together you wiseacre, come on you guys.' Mione said with a tone of laughter in her mental voice at that. 'Alright boys, baby settle down, focus, come on now.' Severus said to us with a gentle smile at that.
"It's okay Sis, just relax, we stick together, the Silver trio, we stick together." I said softly and she nodded smiling then gently. "Where you go, we follow, so he puts you in Gryffindor, we go there, to keep us together." Draco said to her and she nodded then. "Going to be okay, you have nothing to prove here, just be yourself, we'll pull through, like always now." Neville said and she nodded, knowing that did it for her, as our true friendship showed this way now at that.
"Now, when I call your name, you will come forth, I shall place the Sorting Hat on your head, and you will be sorted into your houses. Hermione Granger!" Minerva called out and I squeezed her hand and she smiled as she moved forward and took a seat then, as she waited. "Right, yes right, okay, Gryffindor!" he called out and she moved to our table. "Draco Malfoy." she called out and he took a seat and he said it gently at that in response then at that in response.
"Yes, want to be with real friends, but show you're as strong as you used to be, yes okay, Gryffindor!" he called out and Draco smiled in delight as he moved to our table and Mione hugged him and he hugged her tightly as we smiled in relief at that. "Susan Bones." she called out and she went next. "Let's see here, right, yes right, I know.., Hufflepuff." he called out and she got up and moved to their table with a smile, as we had 3 others and then Ron.
"Didn't you say there was the possibility of us getting a change in our houses, as the girls both went to the originals?" Tracy asked me and I nodded. "Yeah you can change the sorting if you really want to, I did in that version, before I remembered. And in what he said, after everyone considered I was Slytherin's heir now. But remember though I speak Parsel-tongue, doesn't mean anything, there are some decent wizards here that use it against the real Heir right now in truth."
"But since Draco and I gave it a second chance, he chose friendship over power and it put him in Gryffindor now, so Mione is the bravest, cleverest Lion. Now there is, and she's also like my mother, and Susan's loyalty to me and our friendship made her a perfect applicant for her house still, you want to switch. Now is a good time to show him your true feelings and he will take your feelings into consideration make changes accordlingly." I said and she and Daphne nodded then.
"Zach screwed up his real chances, and he's about to pay the price, as it puts him in his real house, the three of us are close friends, and you're brave. So you want to shed said skin of what you really wants before it kills you out of power lust, choose differently here, so Mione, Ron and me, Neville now. We all make Gryffindor, Justin, Ernie, Zach, Susan, Leanne Runcorn, Megan Jones and Hannah made Hufflepuff." I said as I went further as I named it off to them gently.
"Trevor Boot, Michael Corner, Kevin Entwhistle, Stephen Cornfoot, Anthony Goldstein, Morag MacDougal, Padma Patil, Lisa Turpin, Mandy Brocklehurst. And Su Li, they all made Ravenclaw and as for the Slytherins in our year now, they were all, aside from Draco, who switched sides and joined us now. And with them were Daphne and Millie, but Vincent Crabbe, Gregory Goyle, Blaise Zabini, Theodore Nott, Pansy Parkinson and you girls, but Slytherin's real girl snakes."
"They're all still suffering that bigotry of the old ways, you're an order member, so choose differently, and we could consider this a chance to change here. As we make changes accordingly, others stay the same right now, so show him your true feelings you want to change and want to be free of the old ways. He capitulates to your request and puts you in a new house matched to whatever you're feeling over what he finds in your minds." I said and they nodded to me.
"I'd like to know here in how Gryffindor thought that up, if it takes your feelings into consideration here right now, to what he finds in our heads, but there it is. It's an invasion of privacy here, because this could be considered mind rape." Millie said to me and I nodded. "Tell me about it right now, but did he ever consider needing a bath before." I said and she chuckled and nodded as we ended the conversation as I saw the bemused smile on the hat at that remark.
"Certain areas are changed, others do not Mr. Potter, but indeed you are correct, there are attributes I take into consideration and pairing it next to now. In truth of the attitude I hear, and I hear the anger still, but Slytherins Death Eaters. Are not the only dangerous ones here, as you learned here now, in the last four months. And since you returned to our world, as Peter Pettigrew, would he stick to his house or turn now."
"And on his friends for power, point proven, he is a murderer, while Bartemis Crouch junior was born to a pure-blood family who are all about loyalty. And he shows his true colors at the age of 21, so keep those in mind now. As there are some good Slytherin families in the bunch, as friendship now. It overcomes power at times, like loyalties to childhood friends." he said and the rest of the first years nodded to the lesson.
"And that is a very wise observation here now in truth, but you are correct on every count." Madam Longbottom said sternly and I nodded as I crossed my arms. "At the moment here, it's the attempted coercion that reveals your true colors, in my case, I decided to. In truth, ignore the barbs, and acted like the true leader I am, and my entire order, in the 5th graders. Now assembled, Hermione also had the courage to stand up to a bully." I said and she nodded then.
"Were you listening to the conversation through the door?" Ron said for me and they nodded. "Yes and we're not surprised he's not letting it go with Peter Pettigrew, as that proves it, and like Sirius would say for all of us, a true friend would risk death to save a friend or loved one. The fact he cost the lives of a few hundred people to save his own hide says he's willing to sacrifice the lives of others for power." Remus said to that and I looked into his eyes gently then.
"You're my father wolf, you know I would go against the whole to keep from losing all of you anyway, I would never stop till I was sure we all make it out alive." I said and he nodded. "We do and he's turned said flame on himself, but if this is you now, what's going to happen five years down the line now." Andy said to that and I nodded. "We can wait to find out, but let's finish up." I said and she nodded as we resumed it then as we ended the conversation at that.
"Well another Weasley, I know just what to do with you..., Gryffindor!" he shouted out and Ron smiled as he moved to them and she smiled as she hugged him and he smiled as he pressed his forehead to her's gently as we waited for the blow back on this, 'Well that's 4 of us right now, and I'm next followed by Neville.' I thought gently as she said it then. "Zacharias Smith!" she called out then and he moved forward and sat down as he said it firmly then.
"Here it comes, Ernie and Justin are my friends, but his arrogance just cost him here right now." I said to the girls and Neville and they nodded. "His attempted manipulation of you earlier is considered cunning, he's willing to go to any means to achieve his ends. And the hat just read out said characteristics, he's a snake, rather then a badger." Tracy said softly and Severus's eyes narrowed, realizing exactly what we were referring to then as Dumbledore paled at that news.
"The traits that get you placed into Slytherin are ambition, resourcefulness, determination, and cleverness. Us Gryffindors, as a pride, are courageous, braver, nerve, and chivalry. Hufflepuff characteristics. Said include a strong sense of justice, loyalty, patience, and a propensity for hard work. Ravenclaws possess the traits of cleverness, wisdom, wit, intellectual ability and creativity." Minerva said and Severus crossed his arms then sternly.
"Attempted manipulations here right now, by trying to claim my father is not trustworthy, and Peter is the good guy, don't think so. Not when I know in advance, this is another attempt to revoke my status here right now. That's the attempt, Dumbledore is, through Zach, trying to plant doubt in my head over my father. Because he knows that changing time screwed up his plans and is trying to fix it." I said, elaborating and Eileen crossed her arms at the definition.
"And his puppet is about to pay the price, but as Minerva said, cunning is a trait, of my house." Slughorn said and and Eileen nodded sternly in agreement. "That's the bad thing about attempted manipulations, the cunning can backfire on you right now. But even a badger can get bit by serpent and it infects their thinking, changing them into a snake." Eileen said and I watched Zach swallow hard, realizing what she was saying as Draco smiled in anticipation.
"Uncle Sev', you could be the only one to turn Zach around." I said and he crossed his arms as Pomona nodded. 'Meaning this child exhibits many factors that mimic he's on the edge of becoming a true Death Eater. Well young man, you need someone to straighten you out, looks like I'm the one to do so. But I changed, my rivalries with Jim Potter are over, he's my nephew, but I am not to be trifled with.' I heard in response sternly then.
"Yes, cunning, willing to use any means to achieve ends and wanting to find real friends, slight arrogance, right, yes right, okay, Slytherin!" The hat shouted out and he looked up in shock and we knew he was about to start arguing as his robes acquired the green trim the arrogant young wizards hated. "I was born of a long line of Hufflepuffs, I should go there." he said and he said it. "Times change, young man." he said sternly and she nodded.
"Like I said, could you guys be anymore arrogant, I predicted that reaction in a class medical meeting here." Constance Renfield said and Slughorn nodded in agreement to that. "Yeah I agree with you Connie, but are you really bashing the new head of the Snake nest right now. As that's going to get you stung here, if the next in command starts with the points." I said and Severus nodded in agreement. "Indeed and times change." he said and the hat repeated that.
"Times change in where this is no longer about being Pure-blood, Half-blood, or Muggle-born, the bigotry was abolished in this castle. And from the second that Gryffindor created me to choose for them now, but your attitude says the direction you take in your life now. And where it leads, but as the owner of this castle has said, you carry the arrogance of a true Slytherin, so I put you there, now my decision is final."
"Your attitude has changed you into this, simply because you're one of the 28 families of true Pure-bloods in our world, so there-fore now. In truth, you pride yourself on being a pure-blood, and only true pure-bloods know the direction that arrogance leads, and for a Half-blood. There is only one fate if you don't change your behavior, and now, and that road leads right to Azkaban." he said sternly and Severus nodded sternly.
"Did you do this Potter?!" Zach shouted out at me in shock and I shoved Daphne, Tracy and Millie right behind me quickly at that and Severus nodded. "Harry, don't, don't try it, to protect us is fine, but get into a fight physically you're going to be expelled here, don't say it." Daphne said into my ear and I nodded. "I call that desperate he wants to change things back, but there is no chance of, the hat made it's decision, we go to Gryffindor, he goes to Slytherin now."
"There is no use arguing over houses, and where that leads to, as Dora went to Hufflepuff, and while Draco goes to Gryffindor as well now." Tracy said to me softly. "Where do you girls want to go?" I asked her softly and she said it to me. "We want to be with you, Draco and the others, you're more our friends then Pansy ever was. But we want real friends and be seen for us, not a group of stuck up rich wizarding children." she said to me and I nodded gently to that news.
As she pressed her forehead to mine, and I knew the faculty smiled softly at that response. "Sister." I said and she smiled. "Brother." she said in response. "You girls look up to Dora and me?" Andy asked and the trio all nodded. "We do Professor, we wanted to be seen as more then being pure-bloods, make real friends, be seen for us, and not our familial backgrounds, besides we are order members, best join our friends." Tracy said and she nodded to her then.
"And attack me, or the girls, and you're expelled Zach, make a move, you seal your fate." I said sternly as Tracy and Daphne gripped my upper arms. "Indeed, Harry Potter doesn't have control of that hat, that hat is sentient, and he has made his decision, but the days in where being pure-bloods are at an end. The Pure-blood family bigotry is coming to an end, now the decision is final, to your house, boy!" Ted said sternly and Severus nodded in stern agreement then.
"Indeed times change, at times, before you become gold again, you must endure the pain of being in over your head in water, now move to the table, Mr. Smith." Severus said sternly and he looked down and did as he was told then. "Harry Potter!" she called out and I moved forward then. "Hmm, difficult, very difficult, plenty of courage I see, not a bad mind either, there's talent as well, and a gentle thirst to prove you are not how everyone sees."
"But where to put you..." he said and I said it. 'I wish to remain with my friends, my brothers and sisters, I want to be with my friends.' I thought gently and he said it. "Not Slytherin huh, are you sure, you could be great you know, it's all here in your head. And Slytherin will help you on your way to greatness, there is no doubt about that." he said to me and I said it gently as I answered him then gently at that remark as I said it to him.
'Yes, like Percy, I exhibit the same every quality of every house, but I wish to remain with my family, my friends, my family, I have the qualities yes. But family matters even more to me, all my family is in Gryffindor, I want to go there.' I said gently and he said it again. "Are you sure, you could be great you know." he said again gently to me at that remark. 'Indeed I'm very sure, Sir, very sure, I want to join my family-in-laws in Gryffindor, my skills are strong yes.'
'I have the powers yes, I know how powerful my predecessor was and is, but loyalty to my family, wisdom and true bravery are what I am. The cunning, loyalty, bravery and wisdom are mastered only from within, I know that. I love my family even more then power, I wish to remain with them, 80% of of my friends are there. My family in my extended family and in-laws are where I want to be, I wish to remain with them.' I thought and that did it with him then.
And as he answered me. "No, well if you're sure, better be..., Gryffindor!" he shouted out and I smiled in relief and delight as I moved to my friends and they hugged me tightly as I sat down and looked at my mentors who were all smiling at me then gently as Dumbledore lifted his goblet then and I smiled at him then firmly. "Well, another born of the family house, plenty of courage, trustworthy and caring, cunning and not a bad mind either, like your counterpart."
"So where to put you?" he asked and I knew he thought what I was thinking as I heard the same question twice then. "Are you sure, you could be great you know, it's all here in your head, and Slytherin will help you on to greatness, there is no doubt about that." he said and I knew he made his choice."No, well if you're sure, better be..., Gryffindor!" he shouted out and I smiled in relief and delight, as the four of us exchanged smile of happiness.
"Mione, Harry, I need a list of you and your peers in your class right now, so we know who's who here." Oliver said and I nodded. "Idea." I said and she and Ron nodded, as I thought it over. "We use our counterparts, Daniel, Emma and Rupert, as a way to do photos, so from now to Charlie's age." I said and she nodded to that. "So first names and then our photos next to them, we carry these with us at all times." she said in response and I nodded in agreement.
"These are what we call in the muggle world as Student Identification Cards, we use these when living in a boarding school like this, so we don't have it now. We can't leave the school, like no permission slip to go to Hogsmeade, no visiting the village." I said and he and Ron nodded to the remark. "Issues in the en loco parentis." Sarah said as she was sitting on my left and I nodded. "Exactly." Mione said to her and I nodded in agreement as I called out to the teachers.
"Sir, Professors, I got another idea that can prevent anymore doppelgangers from breaking into the opposite dorms here." I asked and they nodded then. "With this being our last year in the 40 of us, we need to know who's who in your class, to head off said fights. With us in charge when the duo are not in the dormitory, but keep it under control." Charlie said and Dora, her Ravenclaw counterpart and Slytherin 8th year Adrian Madison nodded in agreement
"But as you saw our doubles, you know what we look like at our current age, so our I.D.'s have our picture aging with each year now, and said lead to here. In truth another big problem that resulted in Percy getting in trouble, before he revealed he's a ministry plant. As he didn't even know who we were pretending to be." I said and Minerva nodded. "What's your position in the school?" Draco asked and he smiled. "We're school counselors." Dora said to him then gently.
"Like summer camp, us 10 to 15, we're campers, then from 17 to 20, they're counselors, they're in charge of said cabin, or in this case dormitory. Charlie and Christina are our dorm counselors, so when the R.A.'s or Professor McGonagall are not around they're in charge." I said and they nodded gently. "You guys need to control your impulses now, but let's keep this year under control, before things get more hectic, shall we." Dora said from her position behind me then.
"So we got another way to be acting like a muggle boarding school to protect you cubs now?" Cunningham asked me and I nodded. "Like you gave the order, no permission slip, no visiting the village well this got added on to it, so you don't have your I.D., you're not leaving campus. And without an adult, adult supervision here, as when on school hours, you're responsible for us here right now." I said and she and Minerva nodded to the idea, Severus smiled then gently.
"Yeah I think he took being a cub auror too far here, Minerva." Kingsley said to Minerva said and she hid a chuckle and nodded. "Indeed and this is very wise idea to protect your peers right now." Madam Longbottom said and Minerva nodded in agreement. "This also covers a case of something a certain someone forgot, he's 16, but to you..." I said and they all nodded. "Though a prefect, he's still a student, a child still." she said and Percy nodded, with humility then gently.
"Just because you wear these patches, doesn't mean anything, you're still a student, and our responsibility, do I make myself perfectly clear?" Severus said sternly and Percy nodded, shaking in pretend fear at that. "Now I may have changed, but that doesn't mean I don't take safety precautions certainly in class, I am still your Potions Master, clear?" he asked and the eldest four age groups nodded gently. "Nice touch Uncle Sev." I called out and he smiled gently at me.
"Uncle?" we heard from 50 voices all over the room and he nodded. "I'm the best friend of his mother and Ms. Granger's father." he said and they nodded in shock to that news. "Well we never saw that coming in why he's acting like a son with his father's best friend or just his mentor." Roger Davies said to him and he nodded. "It's the maternal side actually, Mr. Davies." he said and he nodded. "As for Jim, we buried the hatchet now." he said and they all nodded smiling.
"Well the first year list is meant to help out the Prefects and Headboy and Girl." I said and the faculty all nodded. "While we know you and your name immediately right now, and that's very wise thinking so we don't have a repeater of another attempted breaking into the dorm. Or getting caught outside when you never got your permission slip signed right now, and the cloak is a stand by only here." Minerva said to me and I nodded as the team smiled gently then.
"Well this was my idea to get names Professor, so I can manage this in my dorm, but the cubs are my responsibility here." Oliver said to her and she nodded. "Nice thinking Oliver, that really works well in preventing a break in or whatever, and this works as it's going all over houses here." Remus said to him and he nodded. "Well just remember prefect over captain here." she added and he nodded. "I know Professor, Harry's my responsibility." he said and she nodded then.
"Harry, Mione after you're done with that, we need that at the other tables, but first you, then us and then Claire and Luke at Ravenclaw." Jack Hatchison said and I nodded to the request. "Does this remind you of anything?" Mione asked and I nodded. "Yeah it does, and it's making sure we got everyone, such as Maggie and Kathy, let alone Whoopi, making sure they got everyone in the choir here." Sarah said smiling and I nodded as I looked between the girls then.
"Anyone expecting our summer tour conversation to land back on this table?" I asked and they nodded. "Which one?" Katie said and I looked at her bemused and Pomona hid a laugh at that remark. "Alright don't press your luck and keep it up and I'm going to let you have it." I said and Oliver chuckled at that. "Cubs you want to go at it do it in the dorms, but not right now." Minerva said to us and we nodded as everyone started laughing at that remark then gently at that.
"We're cubs, rather then snakes." Draco said and I nodded. "Yeah we're lions and us lions are a pride." Oliver said and he nodded smiling. "Whoever starts the who started it this time debate is asking for a pillow to the head later right now." Sarah Baker said and we nodded. "And to answer your question here on which one, it's back on the chamber right now, but think over what you know on me, my family was 30 generations good wizard." I said and they nodded then.
"So think it over, why would I change over night from how you know me as into a cold blooded killer?" I asked and every pure-blood all froze up at that news. "That's for all of you Sacred 28 now people, you ought to know this, my name is not even listed under the said list, but no need if it's not this, what does it leave?" I asked and they swallowed hard at that. "But think it over, where my cloak come from, there's only one in existence." I said and they all paled at that.
"Could this be the reason or is it because my family is directly descended from Godric himself?" I asked and they all swallowed hard at that. "Also think on this, if it was me, wouldn't I just attack one of you, rather then attack a muggle-born, or the cat?" I asked and they all swallowed hard a second time. "Also think on the fact, every time the duo and I were in Myrtle's bathroom, I'm barely 15 to 20 feet away from the chamber itself, so what's desperation do for the heir."
"Wouldn't the heir decided to release the bloody snake now, to prevent exposure, and my best friend/twin sister is also muggle-born?" I asked and they went white in shock at that remark. "But think about it, if I was the heir, wouldn't I, instead of attacking muggle-borns, I'd attack one of you for antagonizing me?" I asked and every pure-blood all paled as I knew they never considered that thought at that remark shaking and the muggle-borns all crossed their arms.
"And then if I was the heir, do an outright murder to keep from getting exposed?" I asked and they swallowed hard at that remark shaking. "There thank you, if he was the heir, wouldn't he just attack her now and be done with it, as instead of pretrifications, it's murder. And Mione is the smartest witch of her age group as she covers the clues, and he puts it all together, she and he are unstoppable when they put their heads together?" Severus said and they swallowed.
And hard at that news then. "We all know this, and did the tour not say a thing to you, as pure-blood born?" Pomona said sternly and they all swallowed hard. "So if not 'im, then who does that leave, as the headmaster was working here at the time the chamber was opened, and that was why I was expelled now. It was the chamber, it always was, 50 years ago, Myrtle, I am 63, so consensus." Hagrid asked and they all paled in shock at that remark and I nodded sternly.
"Riddle is 66 years old, he is three years older then Hagrid." Ron said and they all went white in shock. "And that was 50 years ago, and this was when the headmaster was still in Professor Mcgonagall's position as the Transfiguration teacher." I said and they all swallowed hard at that remark. "Never see that, and why, it always falling back to the very same thing, and I'm a half-blood, but so is Riddle." I said and Percy swallowed hard as the faculty nodded sternly then.
"Stop him from coming back by getting to the stone first, and then it seems strange that he would start attacking muggle-borns left and right, doesn't it now?" Poppy said and they swallowed hard. "Friend to all kinds, but most of all, he's loyal to his own kind now, and said are all muggle-borns now in total truth here. So it seems vaguely odd, to have him change over a year from how we know him into a cold blooded murderer." Minerva said sternly at that remark then.
"Did this thought ever occur to you, that he and Mione were always in there, if he was the heir, wouldn't he just attack her right there and then and be done?" Flitwick asked sternly and they all paled at that remark. "What you children never saw, we do and we saw it immediately, the fact he risked a broken arm to protect the others. And till he has Dobby arriving that night, directly after the attack on Colin Creevey, what more is there to be said here, it's not him now."
"We know and knew Harry was awake listening to the entire conversation, and we were waiting for him to turn to us, at the realization we found him like this." Poppy said and they all swallowed hard at that remark. "So Harry is injured and laid up in there already, and he heard it again, and knowing we were bringing the latest patient in. Before we get Lucius Malfoy's house-elf showing up next, before then we're waiting for him to turn to us, to question in what happened."
"And now, and then he gets hit with a single sentence, again, meaning this chamber was opened up 50 years ago, and though I look dangerous, I am not. However Tom Riddle doesn't and he is, and Tom is 'him'." Hagrid said and they all paled, and I knew they never considered that thought then. "This pure-blood bigotry is the very reason, he ended up in the Muggle world and lost the chance to grow up in our's false assumptions and Barty and Cornelius are fixing this."
"It's not about looks, or by the family, the house, it's the individual, you can be from a good family, and still turn into a murderer." Minerva said and they all looked down in shame at that, realizing they never looked at that part before. "And only us of both age groups in the parents to grandparents know this too well, he'd never do this, and why would he, he's a good boy and very great man, he's the future I leave behind." Dumbledore said and I knew that did it then.
"Why did he and I decide to work as one, every time he has a chance to talk to me, he comes right to me, and he's in training by me so he has all the facts. So question, if he was really the heir, just why wouldn't he attack his own best friend, or, release the snake now and to save himself exposure right now?" he said and they all swallowed hard. "But look at me, I look old and weak, but am I?" he asked and they quickly shook their heads and Severus nodded sternly then.
"I suggest you think hard on that next year, once someone releases this snake and opens that chamber right now, the bloody thinking is getting around. And by use of the pipes themselves, so sneaking around the school in range of every attack, and he's a parsel-mouth tracing the bloody thing through the walls." Minerva said to them. "But look at him, and then look at me, do I look dangerous?" Severus asked and they all swallowed hard as they got the message.
"But like me, he looks dangerous and he's not, Lucius doesn't look dangerous and he is, that's a double standard in my muggle life now, case in point now. Is the reason this conversation even got brought up, and said is because of this." Severus said, holding up the book and every pure-blood nodded shaking. "One side of the cast of this book is based in, to your point of view, the wrong side of the tracks, and the other is like him and me before he got some new clothes."
"Look dangerous and they're not, while the well dressed and supposed rich kids are vicious mindless little monsters, attacking the poor boys out of fun now. And do you know what caused a member on both sides to be killed here right now?" he asked and they swallowed. "It's because someone crossed the line, out of crazed jealousy and drinking and tried to drown the narrator, and his best friend killed the one that tried it, so a case of misconceptions results in a murder."
"Never see that coming because of prejudice, students?" Severus asked sternly and Percy swallowed hard at that shaking, realizing he got it wrong at that remark, shaking. "Yes he's a parsel-mouth, but that doesn't mean anything and unless we stop with the jump first into the dark arts rubbish conceptions now. And we are never going to get out of the dark ages right now, which is what muggles called Merlin's time at the time." he said and they all nodded quickly.
"You never see what Severus and I see, to know that every time something happens he and the duo just can't help getting involved in a mystery here now. So to us, we leave them be, to crack the code, and he does the rest in said confrontation, but this time, he's leader of the cub order, so answer this now. If it was him, would he be attacking anyone out of antagonizing him right now?" she asked and they quickly nodded as they got the point as Flitwick changed the topic.
"Well that's a very wise idea, we know who's a death eater and who is not, but even death eater supporters and want to be's are so arrogant they now here. In truth never see it coming that their own cub sibling are pretending to be said Death Eater spawn, that's cleverness that rivals even a battle strategy, Harry." Flitwick said to me smiling and Minerva nodded. "Like the hat said, the best traits of every house in the school here." Severus said smiling proudly at that then.
"As like I said, plenty of courage I see, not a bad mind either, there is a talent and a thirst to prove himself, though said prove himself now. Is to erase past now, in predispositions, to get passed the so called legend and come into his own, but though he wants to be great now finally. And as who he is instead of his title as everything claimed to be, he's being who our world wants him to be." the hat said and the faculty nodded.
"Cunning, loyalty, bravery and cleverness, you have the best traits of every house in the school to know how we see this right now, in truth, Mr. Potter. So with that, 10 points at preventing an impostor from trying to masquerade as a member of the other house, in prevention of injury here now." Dumbledore said and I smiled as everyone in all three houses all smiled. "And that just goes to show that you need to very good to spot it." Kingsley said with a gentle chuckle.
"We know who's who in our students, as we know you by name calling you by name, this helps, so our newly activated prefects know who's who here now. And with them the head-boy and girl as Charlie and Dora were last year's and we got Ms. Jennifer Wainscott and David Patterson as this year's." she said and I nodded. "Want for a better word, you're asking for trouble if they never grab the I.D. with the hairs if someone tries that twice." I said and she smiled then.
"Trying to go undercover in the dorms, after pulling the same stunt you and Ronald did in that book, young man?" Professor Addams asked me and I nodded. "Yes and there is no need to now, as we know he's hexed someone to let the blasted thing loose here right now." I said and he nodded in agreement. "Well this has you knowing if they don't know the password or code to get in, they're a fake here, in playing with the potion." Ron added and he chuckled then.
"And anyone else tries that, you're losing 50 points and a week's worth of detentions students, don't try it here." Severus said and my class and the second years all nodded. "Nice reminder, but if that's not humiliating after you realize someone used an animal hair instead of human here, then nothing is, case in point. Said was me, as you realized there was a potions blunder right now, that got messed up." Mione said and he and Madam Pomphrey nodded gently.
"You're my father wolf, you know I would go against the whole to keep from losing all of you anyway, I would never stop till I was sure we all make it out alive." I said and he nodded. "We do and he's turned flame on himself, but if this is you now, what's going to happen five years down the line now." Andy said to that and I nodded. "We can wait to find out, but let's finish up." I said and she nodded as we resumed it then as we ended the conversation at that remark.
"Whoever of you muggle-borns came up with that idea, we can set that up in the morning, but I heard that." Ted said to that remark with a slight smile and Minerva tried to keep from laughing at his remark. "With you as the faculty knowing who each of us is, it's the prefects you need this for, as for some after running into said doppelganger, of said students, and he never knew the names of said students, said junior aurors are pretending to be, so dead give away."
"We need this, but there you go." I said and he and Andy nodded to me. "I happen to be a school prefect, come on please, can you be anymore arrogant right now, you maybe a prefect, but you're still a student." Fred said sternly and Percy pretended to look down and they nodded. "Just one decision humbles you, and it's by us exposing you for the fraud you are, by exposing everyone, recklessly to danger by holding back intel they need." Ron said sternly and I nodded.
"But how the mighty have fallen." Cedric said sternly and he pretended to swallow hard. "Hey Cedric, between now and the tournament, how about we train together, though you're my counterpart seeker, and we're both athletes." I said and he smiled and nodded. "I'd be honored little brother." he said and I nodded as he patted my back gently as Pomona and Minerva smiled at the brotherly bonds and comradely between our houses as friends gently at that remark then.
"And that's the true case of house unification I'm talking about." Aggie said, smiling then gently. "You just showed exactly what I'm talking about boys, in order for us to make changes, it's by making friends outside of your own houses, and working as one in training right now." She said and we both nodded. "Hey guys, before we have any further explosions in class, I'm making sure no one does exactly what said instructions said not to do." I said and Millie closed her eyes.
"Case in point is destroying the cauldron after whatever got put in there, or dumping hot water on top of it." Tracy said smiling and I nodded. "Before that blows the door off it's hinges next." I said and everyone started laughing at that. "And that happens all the time in there as it is right now, but again, pay attention to what you're doing, before someone does just that and blasts the chair across the room next." Severus said with a bemused smile on his face.
"But like you said maybe a prefect, but still a student." he added and we nodded. "And the arrogance of being a prefect to come with it, now we were acting like junior aurors, he's pretending to be important by flashing that badge around like it's royalty." Ron said and Severus crossed his arms. "I call that another good reason to get rid of said arrogance, or you're going to get hurt here right now." Madam Hooch said to that remark sternly and Minerva nodded to that.
After everyone had been sorted into their houses, we all settled in, before she called for our attention. "Your attention please!" she said and we relaxed as Dumbledore stood up. "Let the feast begin." he said and dinner appeared on the table then as the sextet, Hermione and Ron all looked at the ensemble and reached out, but I grabbed her hand. "No, don't touch it, Guys together, status check!" I said and the 5th to 8th years waved their wands over dinner then.
And their tips glowed red. "They're spiked, all of it's drugged, this says loyalty and love potions." Sarah said sternly and I nodded. "Our's too kids." Kingsley said sternly and Dumbledore swallowed hard at that. "There's the reason, she's not following orders I gave them, she's been drugged to only listen to 'him'!" Minerva said sternly and I nodded. "They both have, as have Patterson's gang, well how about turn about is fair play here." I said and he swallowed hard.
"And that's why you been claiming everything based on him, he thinks, he believes, the man is a megalomaniac trying to keep you dancing to his tune guys. So with that, Toppy arrest all the school elves, they are being turned into Lord Diggory's department. For working with a dangerous man, one a megalomaniac trying to point students to get them to follow him. Professor, it's we each get our family elves, during the school year they take care of us."
"All pro ministry born elves, in owners, everyone get your elves, Toppy!" I said and she nodded gently, as I heard 30 shouts from every pro ministry wizard born to their own elves then. "Dobby!" Draco shouted out and he appeared instantly, as the others all followed him. "All family owned elves, you're being given a pay raise and working for the school now, to protect us. From the headmaster, his desperation to do things his way said is dangerous, and getting more."
"Now, dangerous by the minute here now." Cedric said and they nodded to the orders at that news. "Master, is it just me or me and Kreacher as he is with Master Sirius?" Toppy asked and I said it. "You're with me, Kreacher remains with my father, but you're getting a pay raise this school term, working over time, Headmaster Dumbledore. He's breaking the law by drugging us by putting potions in our food, so you, all of you have dining duty." I said and they all nodded.
"Never see that coming, after we confunded you, you leave immediately, before you can put the compulsion charms on the duo again. And now we catch you in the act of trying to poison us by putting loyalty and compulsion potions on us by tanking our food?" I said and Dumbledore paled at that, realizing we hexed him to prevent further tampering. "You guys get a clean set, after you erase this one?" I asked and they all nodded. "Alright then." Cedric said and they smiled.
"Yes and Dobby, round up every house elf, as there's 4 to a wizarding lord family, to the junior lord and lady of the revised Sacred 28. They're doing kitchen service starting now, the school elves are loyal to the headmaster, who is poisoning us. And with love and loyalty potions, which is highly illegal, once done, get the head of control of Magical Creatures." Draco said and Dobby nodded as I patted his shoulder and he disappeared with a gentle crack at that response.
"Toppy, food switch." I said and everything swapped out and with a same version, but clean, as they did it again and this time. It's their wands glowed blue and Dumbledore paled at that, now realizing we knew he'd been tanking everything. And with loyalty potions and we caught him in the act then finally, of breaking the law now. "Everyone from Patterson's gang to 12 others and these two are drugged to the gills, he's been dumping love and loyalty potions into our food."
"Well headmaster how do you expect to talk your way out of this now, hmm, because with every violation you're digging a deeper hole here?" I asked and he swallowed hard. "You going to listen to me now, or wait till he compels you to try that suicidal arrest. Because you do, you're being arrested, the entire faculty has gone against him now and with them. The ministry, but your father works for the ministry, remember?" I asked and Ron paled, realizing how serious this was.
"Harry is acting like a son to his grandparent, or parent in all our cases, why would he go against us, he knows better, alright cubs. Who of you was here during time that Peter Pettigrew was revealed and with him, the Potter family will?!" Minerva asked and 90% of the school lifted their hands then and he paled at that. "The truth was inside that will, but you better listen to this now." she said and pulled it out and Dumbledore went pale realizing she was furious then.
"Young man, boys you listening, 'let it be known that Peter Pettigrew is our secret keeper, we switched at the last minute, hoping this will throw Voldemort off our trail. But we told Sirius, should he be the one to turn us in, to track him down and arrest him. Witness at this will writing is Headmaster Albus Dumbledore, but my sister Petunia Dursley, 'Nee Evans, is not one of my chosen legal guardians for my son Harry James."
"My dear son now, if you are reading this, if our successors carry our map, the truth will out now, as we implanted a message to you inside the map. So you can exonerate Sirius and gain the freedom, love and happiness you deserve, my baby. Always remember anything happens to us, we'll always be with you. So should Severus bring up Remus's affliction in class for some prank in retribution now here, my son."
"Then he wanted you remember your toddler version to their names to help you now. Should I guess, Severus has been trying to make it up to me all this time, by protecting you, after your father saved him. And before Remus's transformation was complete, but once in your hands, this negates everything Dumbledore does. And you are free to make your own choices, but we have the way, your father is descended.
"And from the youngest of the Peverells.'." she read out then and they paled. "That's the proof, Zach, the truth was in the will, all that time, but as you're one of his brain dead drones. You believe everything he says without question, I'm not listening to the headmaster." I said and Zach swallowed hard at that remark. "There's your reasoning young lady, young man, you ever consider in addition to mind control spells, but he's been poisoning you with love and loyalty."
"Compulsion potions all this time?" Addams said sternly and Hermione swallowed hard. "As we said, desperation makes people dangerous, now that we caught him in the act. Again, are you going to listen to me now finally, we only have your best interests at heart here." Minerva asked her sternly and she nodded shaking. "These have narcotic like effects, your body built up a tolerance after 6 years, that skipping school for the search…" I said and they both went white.
"I told you I wanted to go alone, you should have stayed here, at least you're helping Ginny, Luna and Neville controlling thing in our Defense group." I said and Ron swallowed hard at that, now realizing it was two fold then, he'd been tricked all that time. "We're muggleborn, we know potions are like drugs, these potions, like the Felix, are drugs, some are opioids. Others are sedatives, some, like the energy, are energy drinks!" I said and every teenager all froze up then.
"You trying to poison us, you old buzzard!" Billy shouted sternly and he went white, realizing he got caught. "Nobody takes the lemon drops, their tanked." I said and they nodded. "So was dinner right now, nice thinking little brother, if you haven't stopped the duo right now. Well then they're stuck under his control right now, I see why Mad-eye brought his own food. This way he never gets poisoned or under control." Percy said and Ron looked at the ensemble, shaking.
