Disclaimer: I don't own anything, yata, yata, yata. Nobody even reads these things anymore. Anything you recognise belongs to the grand J.K Rowling, who really didn't do that good a job on OOTP. I only get $2.50 a week in New Zealand currency, so it's not worth taking me to court for.

A/N: I got 26 reviews and still counting! Hehehehehe! Thanks to everyone who reviewed. I'm glad you like the story, if you want me to add anything or have any suggestions, don't hesitate to say so.

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 5

Summer Ends and New Students

How could he have been so stupid? It was so blazing obvious! She was obviously hiding her true powers and she was from Japan.

Harry thought this over and over again as Godric tried unsuccessfully to explain to him the concept of meditation and its simple guidelines.

"Sit somewhere comfortable, Take three deep breaths, Close your eyes and relax, Slowly clear your mind, Focus on one thing at a time, And do NOT drift to sleep!"

The more he thought about it, the clearer it seemed and thus the more impatient he grew. 'When will this utterly hopeless meditation session end? I wonder if she knows about the prophecy? Maybe we can train together once school starts. Wonder if she controls any elements.' Harry lost his concentration and questions filled his head.

Seeing this, Godric sighed in defeat. "Ok, that's it Harry! There is no way you can concentrate and meditate properly with so much on your mind. I can literally feel the stray thoughts." The boy was way too excited.

Harry let out a whoop of joy and headed out of the door of the fifth year boys' dormitory. Before he went, Harry heard Godric one last time through the mind link he had established with his ancestors in the last few weeks.

'Say hi to this Yumiko girl for me, ok? Rowena and Salazar had officially forbidden me from eavesdropping on this one.' He said, with great disappointment in his voice.

Harry grinned like a Cheshire cat. 'It's about time the others did something about Godric's nasty habit of eavesdropping. Hope it's not too bad, though.'

'Don't worry, Harry. Rowena and me tied Godric's spirit in the dungeons near the Potion Master's office and put a powerful sealing spell on his mind.' Came the amused voice of Salazar Slytherin. 'Trust him to choose the dungeons.' Harry could literally since the happy and amused vibes from the others, who seemed to be enjoying this immensely.

'Thank you Merlin!' Harry exclaimed before he could stop himself. And groaned when he heard Merlin reply: 'Why, you're very welcome Harry. Though I understand that the credit of the idea and creativity goes to Salazar and Rowena.'

Harry had forgotten about those expressions. God, this is going to take some time getting used to. Harry had found out in his first week of training that it wasn't easy having the most powerful wizard in the whole history of the Wizarding world living in your head, along with four childlike ancestors who just happens to be the renown Founders of the greatest school of magic in all of Britain if not the whole world.

Heading towards the warm and cosy fireplace in the common room, Harry saw the Japanese girl in muggle pyjamas running down the spiralled staircase excitedly, like a 5yr old on Christmas morning.

"Harry! Harry! Did ya hear? I can't believe it. I meant it was so obvious. You're the Chosen One! On his is so awesome! You know what this means don't you? We'll be able to train together and beat the crap out of Voldemort when the time comes. And just think of all the pranks we could pull with our combined powers! The honour, glory and reputation of the long and lost Marauders will be back in no time. Marauders will live again!" the girl finished taking deep breathes until she calmed down a bit.

Harry brightened at the idea of reinstating the Marauders but his face fell when he remembered that you'd have to be an unregistered animagus.

"Yumi, from what my parents' diary tell me, we have to be at least trying or wanting to become an unregistered animagus in the near future to be a Marauder."

Yumiko thought for a moment, then said quite unexpectedly, "Well, that's ok then. From what the White Lady told me, you're already trying to become an animagus. So, what are your forms?"

Harry raised an eyebrow at this. "Who is the White Lady and how are you so sure that I've got more than one form?"

"Right Harry. I'm sure you're just a cute little kitty when you transform. Stop insulting my intelligence." Came Yumiko's sarcastic reply.

Harry sighed in defeat, putting on a ward, he said. "I can transform into most of the non-magical animals and my magical forms are the Sun Dragon and Star Phoenix."

Yumiko nodded, very impressed. "I can transform into every animal in the cat family. Tigers, leopards, kittens, lions, etc. the White lady also said that I could transform into an undead creature, but we're not sure which one yet. My magical forms are the silver, winged unicorn, which allows me to use the element of air and Luna Panther, which allows me to use the element of water. In human form I control the elements of sky, so its basically very advanced weather magic."

"Wow! Is there anything you're not good at?"

"Actually, I really suck at Herbology. It's my worst ever subject. And I also hate astronomy, all those stars just confuses me. You see, I wanted to be an auror when I grew up so I had tutors for Charms, Transfiguration, Potions and DADA. Though I was ok at those anyway. So what is the form you're trying turn in first?"

"Well.my favourite form is the Gryffindor lion so I'm trying to transform into that. The problem is that it's taking longer than expected as it's a semi-magical creature." Harry replied.

"I'm trying to transform into the Luna Panther first 'cos it's in the same family as the rest of my forms. Like your Sun Dragon, Luna Panther is the protector of the Moon and its magical and non-magical beings."

"Cool! Now before I forget, didn't you say that six of your schoolmates are coming to Hogwarts? What are they like?"

"Umm. let me think. there are Aitsumi and her boyfriend, Daniel. A pair of twins, Miyako and Minako, and two guys, who I suspect are influenced by their parents to come to England to join good old Voldie. But if we could get them to side us, they could be very valuable spies." Taking a breath, Yumiko continued:

"The twins are good friends of mine, they control the element of mind, which is rather rare. They can use telepathy and read people's minds, unless they are really well shielded, of course. Their parents were killed along with mine during the attack. Aitsumi is also completely loyal to me, her element is time."

"Wow, you're bringing along some powerful allies, Yumi!" Harry said once she fininshed.

"No shit!"

"Now, how about we start our own training programmes? At least till school starts again. That way, we'll be ready to take on whatever Voldie's planning for us this year."

"You're on!"
