~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hermione looked around then someone caught her eye.

A boy that was sitting at the Gryffindor table with black hair and was sitting beside a pair of black haired 'twins' was staring at her.

He waved and mouthed, "Hey Mione."

She gasped when she realized who it was and zoomed over to the Gryffindor table.

"Harry," She said and hugged him as she sat beside him.

"Woah, what happened to you mate?" Ron asked looking at Harry with a raised eyebrow.

Harry sighed but a girls voice said, "Long story and he doesn't have to tell you if he doesn't want to carrots."

Harry turned around and said, "Cool it Gem.these are my friends."

"Oh.sorry carrots," One of the black haired girls said.

The other one sighed and said, "Ignore her. Hi I'm Jasmine Potter."

"Hi Jasmine I'm Hermione Granger and this is Ron Weasley and - wait.did you just say Jasmine POTTER?" Hermione said with wide eyes.

She nodded and her sister said, "Yeah she did.and my name's Gemma Potter."

Harry looked at them and said, "I didn't know about them till the end of last year but Gemma, Jasmine and I are triplets."

"WHAT?!" Ron, Hermione and the other Gryffindors that were around them and heard them yelled.

All three Potters said at the same time, "Could you have been any louder?"

This caused a bit of laughter to come up since it was so funny seeing three people talk at the same time with the same words.

As they all sat down the doors burst open and Professor McGonagall came in with the group of first years following her.

As they made it to the front of the hall she stopped in front of the stool, which the sorting hat was on.

It was a bout to start singing like always but something was wrong.it seemed to be making it mind up about something.

Suddenly it started it's new song.

1000 years ago when this school was new Four wizards stood proud and strong But how they never knew The fought, they feud, look at it today A hand full of Slytherins are evil to pay Gryffindors are strong and true Ravenclaws are slightly rude Hufflepuffs are sad but pure The heir of all had returned Darkness death is coming soon When the two lightning bolts collide The legend starts.for the day we die

Everyone looked at each other in shock.even the teachers!

"WHAT WAS THAT?" Draco Malfoy yelled from the Slytherin table.

The people from Ravenclaw frowned.they were not rude.or at least that was their opinion.

The Gryffindors and Hufflepuffs just looked confused.all except Harry, Jasmine and Gemma.

Dumbledore also looked up in surprised and said, Continue with the sorting."

His old blue eyes looked at Harry and his sisters and he mumbled, "They know what it means."

After the sorting was done everyone knew there was something odd going on, there had been 14 new Gryffindors (7 girls and 7 boys), 10 new Hufflepuffs (5 boys and 5 girls), 6 new Ravenclaws (3 boys and 3 girls) and 4 Slytherins (2 boys and 2 girls).

All the teachers looked confused too.

Dumbledore stood up once again and said, "Would Harry, Gemma, and Jasmine Potter please join me in my office at once."

Almost all that Great Hall looked confused.since when was there THREE Potters at Hogwarts.

All eyes were on them as Gemma led the way out the door followed by Jasmine then Harry and after they left there was a burst of whispers.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

While Dumbledore asking them questions and either Gemma or Jasmine answering them Harry just sat listening.

He knew what the hat was talking about automatically.but didn't know HOW he knew.

¥A little slow at times aren't you Harry?¥

(Merlin?)

¥Yes Harry, and the reason you know is Gordic, Rowena, Helga and Salzar put all the knowledge of Hogwarts in your head. ¥

(OH)

¥Also I'd like you to know if you need any of us we're right beside you.you see the lion, snake, badger, eagle and phoenix are actually the 5 of us reborn.and I'm actually a phoenix talking to you so I bet Fawks can here me.well I'm gonna get some shut eye. ¥

(K, and thanks Merlin)

¥No problem my dear boy. ¥

Harry sighed and said, "The hat was talking about a legend, which my sisters and I are involved in.as well as our parents. It was also trying to hint about who's a death eater.a lot of the Slytherins are, some of the Ravenclaws are but Hufflepuff and Gryffindor are death eater free."

Dumbledore, Jasmine and Gemma blinked at Harry.he just summed everything up and it made perfect sense!

Harry looked away from them and said, "I'm going back to the common room.I'll see you there." And with that he left.

But Harry didn't go to the common room like he said; instead he walked aimlessly around the hallways.

Had he have done the same last year and a teacher would have found him he would have gotten detention before you could say 'unfair' but now this year not only did he have a shiny silver badge with the letter P on it signifying he was a Prefect but he was actually the ruler of the school.

Harry suddenly sniggered at the image of the Slytherin Common room in pink that just popped into his head.

Wonder what would happen if I suddenly turned up in the Slytherin common room right now he thought with a laugh.

Harry made a sharp turn around a corner and started towards Professor McGonagall's office.he knew he was gonna regret what he was about to do.

He knocked on the door then walked in.

"Potter.what are you doing up so late," Professor McGonagall asked him sharply.

"I just left Professor Dumbledore's office and decided to check if anyone was wondering the halls.also I wanted to ask you something about my classes," Harry said politely to her.

Her face softened and she said, "Alright.what would you like to talk about."

"Well you see.I wanna take more classes. Transfiguration, Potions, Charms, Defence Against the Dark Arts, History of Magic, Herbology, Divination, Care of Magical Creatures and I also want to take Ancient Ruins and Arithmancy," Harry said then added, "Yes I still would be playing Quidditch and keep up with my perfect duties and still pass all my work in on time."

"Isn't that a bit much?" She asked Harry.

He shook his head no and said, "I don't want nor need a Time Turner.I want to do this my way."

She nodded and said, "I'll see what I can do Potter.anything else?"

"No Professor.I need to speak to Professor Dumbledore again though."

She nodded again and said, "Better go now Potter."

He nodded and ran to the headmaster's office.

"Harry.what are you still doing up?" Dumbledore asked him surprised.

"Well sir there's something I'd think would be a good idea to do this year since the return of Voldemort."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

All the boys (yes including Harry) were sleeping almost soundlessly when Gemma quietly opened the door and tiptoed in followed by Hermione, Jasmine, Lavender and Parvati.

"Look at them," Lavender said with a giggle.

"Awww.aren't they cute," Hermione whispered sarcastically.

Jasmine smirked and said, "Yeah right Herm.the only one here you think is cute is my brother."

Hermione blushed and all the girls giggled.

"OK girls.get into positions," Gemma ordered and went beside Ron's bed.

Jasmine moved by Neville's bed, Lavender went by Dean's bed, Parvati went my Seamus's bed and Hermione went by Harry's bed.

"Ready? One.two.three!"

All the girls laughed and poured ice-cold water onto the boy's heads.

They all bolted up and were cursing aside from Harry who said, "Really witty." He then turned to Gemma and said, "No doubt you're the master mind here.Sondon Soculus."

With a wave of his wand a bucket full of Ice Cold water poured onto Gemma's head and she shrieked.

All the boys laughed and she turned red and mumbled, "Thank god it's Saturday." Then picked up a pillow and rammed it over Ron's head since he was the closet boy.

/AN: OK if your wonder WHY they made the students come to school on a Friday it's because School at Hogwarts always starts on September.1st so obviously one of these years it had to be on a Friday.wonder what it would be like on a Saturday? LOL/

Soon everybody followed well laughing.

Down in the common room people started looking up the stairs and finally Lee Jordan, a 7th year and announcer for all Quidditch Matches said, "What the hell is going on up there?"

"I don't know.but I'm gonna find out," Angelina, also a 7th year, Head Girl and a Chaser of the Gryffindor Quidditch team said and walked up the stair case to the boys dorms.

Angelina's mouth dropped open and her eyes widened in shock as all the 5th years froze.

The whole room was thick with feather from the pillows and all of them were on the ground either trying to block a pillow or hit with one in their PJs and all their eyes were on Angelina.

"What's going on.WOAH!" Fred yelled when he saw the room.

Soon both him and Angelina turned and ran down to the common room to tell everyone what they saw.

Soon all the 5th years could here laughing and all smirked at each other thinking the same thing.

They tiptoed down the staircase and stayed out of site.

"Harry can you do that spell again?" Gemma asked.

"Yeah.but it might not be as strong since there's more people," Harry replied.

"I'll help.I watched how you did it before," Hermione whispered and both her and Harry got out their wands.

Together they whispered, "Sondon Soculus!"

There were a lot of shrieks a everyone in the common room got soaked wit icy water.

Harry, Hermione, Ron, Gemma, Neville, Jasmine, Dean, Lavender, Seamus and Parvati all burst out laughing and fell into the common room.

Everyone glared at them and then a bunch of pillows appeared out of no where (courtesy of Harry) and the biggest pillow fight Hogwarts ever seen started.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Where are those Gryffindors? There's not a single one here!" Professor McGonagall yelled.

3 tables were filled to the max and one was empty.

There was a sudden sound of feet and all the Gryffindors burst in the hall soaking wet and some covered in feathers.

The hall started roaring with laughter and they all sat down smiling sheepishly.

"Now I had some announcements to make but I'm sure everyone wants to here what happened to out Gryffindor Lions over here," Dumbledore said looking extremely amused.

"THE BIGGEST DAMN PILLOW AND WATER FIGHT HOGWARTS HAS EVER SEEN!" Fred and George yelled together.

All the Gryffindors laughed and clapped.

Dumbledore even laughed and said, "We'll talk about that later.anyways we'll be passing out class lists for you to choose for this year."

Everyone erupted into whispers and Jasmine yelled out, "How do we get all the supplys for them?"

"Yes.your classes will begin on Tuesday.tomorrow you'll be informed about which classes your positively taking and one Monday you'll be split up and half are going to Hogsmead well the other half will be going to Diagon Alley. Also there's two boxes separate from the classes that say: Muggle Dulling and Wizard Dulling.you must pick one of those.and just so you know a 5th year will be teaching that class.now choose carefully."

Everybody started talking about pouring over their lists.

Ron suddenly jumped into the air and yelled, "YES! WE DON'T HAVE TO GO TO POTIONS!"

All of the Gryffindors, Ravenclaws and Hufflepuffs laughed but the Slytherins did look amused.

"Which classes are you choosing Harry?" Hermione said as the food for breakfast appeared on the table.

Harry smiled at her and said, "Wait and see Hermione."

"OK, well do you know who's teaching dulling?" George yelled to the 5th years.but not after giving them all a glare.

"Yes Mr Weasley you do bring up a point.I'll make this more fun for you though. instead of telling you right out who it is you need to figure it out with theses clues. A 5th year in either Gryffindor or Hufflepuff, very powerful and the best dullest in BOTH types of dulling since his mother was here," Dumbledore said.

Jasmine and Hermione both started mumbling about who they thought it was.

Gemma said suddenly, "My bets it's either Ron, Seamus, Dean, Harry or Neville."

"Why?" some people around her asked.

"Well I've just got a feeling about it being Gryffindor.plus it is a boy," Gemma replied well eating some bacon.

"How do you know it's a boy?" Parvati asked with narrowed eyes.

"Dumbledore said the best dullest in both types of dulling since HIS mother was here," Jasmine said suddenly as it clicked in her head who it was.

She looked at her brother who was across from her and beside Hermione and said, "Do you have any idea who it is Harry?"

Harry smirked seeing the known glance she gave him and said, "No.why would I?"

She knew she was right and thought, {Nice try Harry.I know it's you.}

Gemma looked up so suddenly that Ron (who was sitting next to her) gave her a weird look and said, "What's with you?"

"Nothing," She replied then thought, [Why did I see that in the first place?]

(Cause unlike Jaz and me your dumb)

[Shut up scar head!]

{Now, now children.no need to aruge.}

[Look who's talking Miss Angel]

(Watch her try and beat Hermione in marks this year)

[Try as she will your still smarter]

{Hello I can here everything your saying}

[Oops forgot]

(Yeah and you obviously forgot that your elbows in your food)

Harry and Jasmine burst out laugh and Gemma shot up and yelled, "Oh thanks a lot!"

Everyone was looking at them like they were crazy until they saw Gemma's elbow and also started laughing.

Frowning Gemma got up and stomped away.

"Er.maybe we should go apologise to her?" Ron said suddenly.

Jasmine shook her head and said, "Nah.she'll be back soon."

Harry nodded and they both started counting, "Five, four, three, two, one!"

Sure enough Gemma burst back in and ran over to the Gryffindor table and said, "Your right.Draco Malfoy is a jerk."

"What did you do to him?" Jasmine asked but got her answer as Malfoy suddenly walked in wearing a Gryffindor robe with red and gold hair.

All the Great Hall except (once again) the Slytherins started laughing.

Gemma leaned back in her seat and smiled happily.

Jasmine shook her head and said, "Poor Sirius and Remus.only 1 out of 3 Potters are following in their foot steps at Marauders."

"Hey I'm insulted.sure I'm not as good at pranks as Gem but I'm still good," Harry said frowning with mock anger.

Jasmine glared at him for a moment but kept quiet.

Well everyone talked Harry looked down at his list and all the things he checked off.everything.

Harry sighed and thought, This is gonna be one long year

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The next day everyone waited for their new schedules.

When Ron got his he laughed and said, "Finally.no potions or divination!"

Hermione laughed and said, "I'm still taking potions."

Ron looked horrified at the idea and said, "Your probably the only Gryffindor 5th year."

Lavender, Parvati, Seamus, Dean and Neville all shook their heads to show they weren't taking it.

Hermione sighed and said, "We might need it though."

"We'll just come to you," Dean said with a shrug.

"By the way where are Harry, Gemma and Jasmine?" Neville asked.

"I don't kn-," Ron got cut off as the 3 raven headed teens ran in and Ron said, "Nevermind."

Professor McGonagall gave them their times tables as they walked by the Head Table. All three said thank you and Jasmine and Gemma sat down beside Ron and Hermione well Harry talked to Professor McGonagall for a few moments.

"So is either of you taking Potions?" Ron asked the two girls.

"No," They said together.

Harry walked over and sat on Hermione's other side and Ron said, "Harry can you believe this.Hermione is gonna keep taking potions!"

Harry looked up and said, "So? I'm still taking it too."

All the people around him spit out their food or drinks.

"Your kidden! Snape hates you!" Seamus said in shock.

"I know," Harry replied.

"What other classes are you taking?" Hermione asked him honestly interested.

Harry passed her his times table and she looked over it then gasped and said, "Your nuts! And I should know I attempted this back in 3rd year remember?"

Ron blinked remembering all the classes she took in their third year and took Harry's schedule.

"HOLY! Harry your insane! Transfiguration, Potions, Herbology, Defence Against the Dark Arts, History of Magic, Charms, Care of Magical Creature, Divination, Arithmancy, Ancient Ruins, Muggle Studies.holy crap your nuts! Plus we all have to do a type of dulling, plus you have your prefect duties and Quidditch practice."

"Harry even I think your over doing it," Hermione said well biting her lip.

"No he's not.good ol' Harry here could take another 10 classes and still have time for everything right bro?" Gemma said to him.

"No kidden.although I think it was stupid he did all his homework the day before yesterday.and I mean ALL of it in less then 4 hours," Jasmine said with a frown.

Harry smiled innocently and said, "Don't worry.I can handle it."

Dumbledore stood up and said, "Now everyone.for those who entered Muggle Dulling you will all get to choose out a sword to use.they all have different powers and abilities."

It was then Harry realized he didn't have a weapon and he was teaching the damn class!

Dumbledore also knew of this but he knew what to do ands said, "On a last and different note would Harry Potter please report to my office."

Harry smiled and ran to the entrance of the headmaster's office.

Dumbledore strolled up 5 minutes later and said, "A little egger aren't we Harry? Chocolate Chunky Chicken," He added to the stone gargoyle, which started moving.

Harry burst out laughing and when they got into Dumbledore's office fell into a chair and said, "Chocolate Chunky Chicken?"

Dumbledore also laughed and said after claiming down, "Harry I realized, as I know you did to teach Wizard Dulling you have your wand.the powerful one it is.but to teach Muggle Dulling you will be needing a sword.and I know the perfect one for you, considering it already belongs to you.the funny thing was earlier I just noticed there was a note laying in a class case from (somehow) Gordic Gryffindor.and now Harry, once again the Sword of Gryffindor is yours once again."

Harry took the Sword he used in his 2nd year to defeat the Basilisk and felt so dumb suddenly.Gordic had SAID he'd given Harry his sword.

Harry smiled and said, "Thank You Professor."

"No problem Harry.now go watch the choosing of swords, as I like to call it," Dumbledore said with laughter.

Harry laughed.then stopped suddenly.

He dropped the Sword as his hands flew up to his scar and he fell over and must to his shock and pain fell so he hit his head on a chair and cut his side on his sword!
