Summary: Harry starts his 5th year at Hogwarts. During the summer, he discovers a magical trunk that led to a lot of new powers and the truth about his heritage. There's also a mysterious new girl at Hogwarts. I didn't really like J.K Rowling's version of the 5th year so I'm writing my own. RW/HG, DM/GW, HP/YS (my own character.)
Harry Potter and the Founders' Trunk
Chapter 4
Yumiko Suji and the Summer Ends
Harry was still dazed at how innocent and carefree the girl in front of him looked. She smiled at him shyly with a tint of sadness that only showed in her eyes.
"Professor, there are 6 of my schoolmates who wishes to come to Hogwarts as their parents were killed in the attack at my school. They could not come with me because they were needed to sort out their family heritage after the death of their parents. With your permission, I shall inform them to come on the 1st of September with the other students." She said formally as the girl turned her attention back to the Headmaster.
Dumbledore nodded thoughtfully, "Very well, Miss Suji. It will be arranged. Well, you should get going. You still have sometime before dinner. Harry will show you where the Gryffindor common room is. And you can put your luggage there. Seeing that you two are both Prefects, you can set the Password for the common room; instructions are in your guidebook. Now off you go, kids." Said Dumbledore as he dismissed the two teenagers.
They walked out of the Headmaster's office in silence. As Harry led the way, the Japanese girl stared at him for a few seconds before breaking into a huge grin and followed him.
"So you're the famous Harry Potter I've been hearing so much about all the way from Japan?" Harry smiled getting a sick feeling in his stomach. Just great, school hasn't even officially started and people are already treating him like royalty. But much to his surprise, he found that he was very, very wrong.
Yumiko studied him more closely before taking off her formal mask and declared in a sarcastic drawl:
"Gee, you're nothing like they said you were in the Daily Prophet, then again I guess its my own fault for even believing those things from Rita Skeeter. After all, I'll bet on my Firebolt that Fudge is behind all of this. Still in denial of Voldemort's return." She spat the last bit out and glared a glare that would have sent shivers up Snape's spine and make Wormtail pee in his pants (A/N: Sorry, I just couldn't resist). He was fascinated that the girl showed nothing but hatred towards Voldemort and used his name normally.
Harry immediately liked the girl and his respect for her only grew when she went on to say that Arthur Weasley should have been made minister. "Mr. Weasley is much more capable of such an important role. I mean he's the only one who worked hard enough to deserve the position and isn't a filthy Death Eater like Malfoy."
Harry looked at her with awe. "Miss. Suji, I solemnly swear you're now on my 'Top 10 Favourite People In The Whole Wide World List'." Harry said half serious.
"Oh you flatter me so, dear boy-who-lived." Yumiko replied batting her eyelashes for more effect as both of them started laughing. Harry glared at her mockingly.
"The name is Harry, use it would you?"
"I would if you'd stop calling me 'Miss Suji' and started calling me Yumiko or Yumi...all my friends do!"
"So we're friends then?"
"You bet! Seeing that I'm new at this school, I'm going to need all the friends I can get!" with this they shook hands.
They had reached the Gryffindor common room and Harry was setting the password, which turned out to be 'Quidditch' (no surprise there.). Yumiko and Harry then discussed about Quidditch and it turned out that the new girl was the Quidditch Keeper at her old school.
"So you really think I'll be able to tryout for the team this year?" the girl asked beaming with excitement.
"Definitely, if you're as good as you say." Was the reply.
"Well? What on earth are we waiting for then? Show me where the Quidditch Pitch is already!" Jumping up and down like a 5 yr old. Standing up she emptied her trunk in search for her beloved Firebolt.
"Ah ha! I knew it was here somewhere! Got you're broom?"
"Yep" Harry held up his new Starbolt, which he had wanted to practise on all summer. Yumiko's jaw dropped and nearly fainted.
"You lucky bastard! Where did you get that BROOMSTICK!!! It would have cost a fortune. There are only 7 in the whole bloody world! Oh boy, I'd hate to be the opposing team when the Quidditch games begin. Even the England National team only have one Starbolt, and that was only by a fluke."
"I get the point, Yumi. Now are we playing or not?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~@~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~@~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~@~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Three hours later, the pair came back soaked in sweat. Harry had to admit, though he wasn't the best chaser, his reflexes and the training he had this summer should have prevented Yumiko from saving a lot of goals. But surprisingly she saved more than 80% and was very surprised that Harry wasn't a Chaser.
They agreed to meet up in the common room again after a shower. And planned to go down to dinner together.
Yumiko sighed, she longed to use her powers and train more, but as much as she liked Harry and trusted him. It would put him in more danger than he is in already. Unknown to her, Harry Potter was thinking the same thing.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~@~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~@~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~@~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dinner was pretty much uneventful. Nobody talked much until Yumiko whispered to Harry:
"So who is the greasy haired teacher who looks like it would kill him to smile? Very Death Eater-ish! But good glares. Could do better, though." Her description of Snape was more than perfect. Harry tried to hold off laughter as he introduced all the teachers to Yumiko and warned her of the Potions and Divination classes.
"Gee, maybe he'd loosen up more, if he received some presents? What do you think Harry? Are you by any chance into the art of pranking?" Harry grinned at this and faked a hurt look before he launched himself to story telling mode.
"Why I'm disappointed Miss Suji. I thought someone with your intelligence must be able to tell that I'm the Prince of Pranks, literally."
"Oh really? And how would that be?"
"Well, around 2 decades ago, four nice and innocent (as innocent as they'll get) young boys walked in to the Great Hall of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. They each sat on the famous stool in front of the entire school with the Sorting Hat on their heads. All four of them were sorted in to Gryffindor where courage and bravery was valued. They didn't know it then but that was the start of a group of pranksters that terrorised the school for seven long years, though they're gone, their happy spirit of pranking still lingers in the halls of Hogwarts. Fellow pranksters of Hogwarts looked up to them as the King of Pranks. Now I happen to be the son of the leader of this group who named themselves the Marauders." Stated Harry proudly, grinning at the look of respect and bewilderment passing through the girl's face. "In fact, I suspect you'll even be able to find them in Hogwarts: A History, after all I heard that it updates itself automatically." Harry said as an afterthought, remembering something the Founders told him.
Throwing her arms in the air dramatically, Yumiko said to the ceiling: "thank you Merlin! Finally a worthy ally." Harry laughed; this was going to be an interesting year.
"Wait, say who else is on your 'Top 10 Favourite People In The Whole Wide World List'? Let me guess, Yumiko, Yumiko, Yumiko, Yumiko, Yumiko and oh did I mention Yumiko?" Yumiko asked, annoying Harry as they walked to the Gryffindor common room.
"I am sorry to disappoint you, Yumi. But for your information, they happen to be Professor Dumbledore, Remus, Professor McGonagall, Ron, Hermione, Hagrid, Sirius, Ginny (whom is brighter than her family gives her credit for), Neville (who is very brave at times) and now you." He said, before he realised he had just said out Sirius Black's name. Oh Boy! Is he going to have a lot of explaining to do or what! Harry knew that Yumiko was bright enough to guess it was Sirius Black. But when he didn't hear a thud, gasp, scream or yell of disbelief, he looked up to once again drown himself in the endless pool of silver until he saw her bright smile and amused face. Harry lit up with hope, maybe his instincts was wrong, maybe she didn't catch the name, maybe---. His train of thoughts were broken when he heard Yumiko tut playfully,
"Dear Harry slipped up didn't he?" Damn it! Why couldn't his instincts be wrong for once?
'Ah. but you forget my dear that it was I who gave this gift to you, so how could you be wrong?' came Helga's soft, soothing voice in his head.
'Harry, we need to talk to you after this. It's really important.' with that the link was cut off. Harry groaned inwardly, why now? He asked himself before returning to Yumiko.
"You're really lucky, Mr. Potter. That my parents had always believed that Mr. Black was innocent and it was Peter Pettigrew who betrayed your parents. Don't ask me how, but I was brought up knowing that. Or else you would have a lot of explaining and convincing to do. So Harry, am I right or am I right?" Harry shook his head at her enthusiasm. 'I wonder what Ron and Hermione will think about her.' As if reading his mind, Yumiko asked.
"So tell me about your friends Harry. I noticed that you mentioned Ron, Hermione, Ginny and Neville in your list of people you liked. Do you think they'll like me?"
"Well, my two best friends are Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger. Hermione is always all study and no fun. And that makes her the smartest witch in our year," 'not anymore' Harry and Yumiko thought at the same time. "On the contrary, Ron has the famous Weasleys' temper and is totally no study and all fun. But I think you'll get on with them great. Ginny is Ron's only sister and is a 4th year, she's smarter than she looks, but tends to use this cover to let her enemies underestimate her." 'and you're the same' he thought.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~@~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~@~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~@~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After Harry had directed her to the 5th year girls dorms and the Prefects' bathrooms, he contacted Godric and Helga.
"Godric, where would you like me to meet you?" Harry sent to his mentor once Yumiko was out of sight.
"How about in your dorm? That way you can start unpacking while we talk." Harry agreed and rushed upstairs to his room. Sighing, he said aloud, "it is sooooo good to be home!"
"You're not wrong there, Harry. It is good to be home." Came a voice, which made Harry jump before he turned around angrily to face the founder of Gryffindor.
"How many times do I have to tell you, stop creeping up behind me!" with this, Harry wandlessly put up the strongest shield he could think of. When Godric looked at him inquiringly, he just shrugged and muttered something about walls and paintings having ears.
"After all, we don't want Albus to know about our little secret now do we? Remember that this is suppose to be a surprise for him." Harry said cheerfully, "So what is this important news that you must share with me?"
"Rowena and Merlin believes that they've found the daughter of the East that was mentioned in the prophecy.!"
"Really? That's great! Who is she? Where is she?" Harry brightened instantly, 'I wonder if she'll be pretty, hey, maybe she'll even look as good as Yumi.
"I don't doubt that, Harry."
"Hey stop reading my mind! And how do you know what she looks like? Have you seen her?" Godric chuckled and looked very, very amused. "Well, I understand that she goes by the name of ....
.
.

.

Yumiko Suji."
Harry fell out of his bed and heard an echo of laughter from the founders and Merlin. 'As the dear Muggles put it, this is a Kodak Moment.' This came from Salazar Slytherin.
