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

Over the weekend the Gryffindors acted normal around the teachers and other houses.but when left alone they were vicious with each other.they hated each other.

In fact the half that stuck on 'Ron's' side went and all stayed in the girls dormitory well Harry's side stayed in the boys.

Ron's side had also changed their badges to the opposite of Harry's.

Harry's side had the normal badges.red with gold well Ron's was Dark Gold with Dark Red.

On Monday the whole school would be in for a shock.

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

Draco Malfoy was walking to the great hall when a voice yelled out, "DRACO! WAIT UP!"

He turned quickly around to see Harry and Hermione running towards him.

He didn't really hate them.he just hated how Harry rejected his friendship in 3rd year.

Then again it's not like I ever had any friends, He thought.

Harry and Hermione walked up to him and he said, "What do you two want?"

"Listen.I'm honestly tired to Gryffindors and Slytherins fighting.so what if Salzar and Gordic did.that was 1000 years ago. So how about we try and be.well.friends and see if the houses can stop fighting," Harry said.

Draco's mouth fell open and he looked at Hermione who nodded.

He felt the first real smile he ever had come to his face and said, "Your on."

In the Great Hall everyone was extremely confused.there was a huge gap in the Gryffindor table.half was at one said, half at the other.

Balise Zambani looked at Draco as he sat beside her and asked, "Any idea what's going on there?"

"No.but Harry and Hermione came up to me this morning and said they think Gryffindor and Slytherin should start working together.I for one agreed."

Quiet a few other Slytherins rounded to him and gave him a look like he was crazy but Draco said, "You know who is back.and like Dumbledore said we all need to start working together."

A few nodded and Professor Dumbledore stood up and said, "Now I know your all wondering why we're making you do all these projects in class but first I'd like the Gryffindors to tell me why they seem to be staying separte.is the food in the middle of the table that bad?"

All the prefects, and Angelina (Headgirl if you don't remember) stood up and Angelina said, "Hogwarts no longer has four houses in peace."

Everyone laughed.they all knew Slytherin was the odd one.

Fred (or maybe it was George.nobody could tell) stood up. Very surprising he and George took Harry's side.although Ginny took Ron's.

Anyways Fred said, "No.the Gryffindor on this side are actually in peace with Slytherin.the ones we're not talking to are THEM!"

Ginny stood up and said, "Oh great.now your trying to play favorites with the teachers."

"No wait.scar head there is already Dumbledore's pet (teacher's pet)," Another Gryffindor said.

Well they started yelling at each other Harry slipped out of the Great Hall, followed by Hermione, Jasmine, Lavender, Dean and Neville.

Draco saw this, grabbed Balise hand and dragged her out after them.

Hermione and the other's stood looking confused.well all except for Jasmine.

"Where's Harry?" Draco said.

"Must be in the common room," Jasmine replied.

She looked at the two Slytherins and made a beeline to the teacher's table quickly.

She talked to Professor Dumbledore for a few moments then came back out and said, "OK, lets get going to the common room.ALL of us."

Draco and Balise both looked confused and Jasmine said, "I asked Professor Dumbledore and he said you two could come with us."

They nodded and followed the 5 Gryffindors to their common room.

"Wow.this place is nice," Balise said looked around the cozy common room.

Dean and Neville had went to get Harry and came back down soon after with him.

"Harry, how'd you get here so quickly?" Hermione asked him.

Harry looked at them all and said, "You know.maybe was Ron whispered to me this morning was true.maybe I don't deserve to be a Gryffindor.I have just as much Slytherin in me as Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, and Ravenclaw."

They all looked at Harry and Jasmine said, "You sure you wanna tell them Harry?"

Harry looked at her for a moment.

Lavender looked interested as they seemed to be having a conversation in their minds. aside from Divination she though telepathic communication was the most interesting thing ever.

They both nodded and Harry touched his sister's shoulder. Then Jasmine touched Hermione's and said, "Touch the person beside you."

They all nodded and did so.Harry suddenly seemed to have zoned out and the next thing they knew they were gone.

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

Hermione gasped at what she saw.they were in a huge chamber with many symbols of Hogwarts and Merlin around.

Harry quickly moved around as if known his way around perfectly.

This was where Harry kept all his stuff the Founders and Merlin gave him.

He opened a door and Coura ran out and started jumping around him.

"Woah.down Coura," Harry said and smiled as Salzar, Sly, Hurricane and Fuego came out. Then a few moments later Merlin and Lightning came out.

"THEY'RE SO CUTE!" Lavender and Balise said together.

Harry nodded and said, "The lion is Coura, the snake is Salzar, the Eagle is Hurricane, the Badger is Sly, the Griffin is Merlin, the Dragon is Lightning and the Phoenix is Fuego.and the reason I have them is."

"Harry isn't all he seems to be.neither am I and I have a feeling neither is Gemma. We don't know what Gemma is yet but I am a Soulmater and Harry is the Heir of Gryffindor, Slytherin, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff and Merlin."

Everyone looked at them in sheer shock.they now knew why Harry so suddenly got so smart.and he had always been powerful.

Harry started at them all and said, "Don't think I'm all powerful.I'm not.and I have to LEARN my special abilities before I can use them."

"Why are you trusting us with this secret?" Balise asked him suddenly.

Harry looked at the floor and said, "I have Slytherin blood in me too.I can't hate Slytherin's anymore.no matter how hard I try, so I've decided to try and get this house war things over.although Gryffindor split up so that made a road block."

Jasmine was glaring at the ground and said, "It doesn't make sense.none of the things that happened this year add up. Harry you keep collapsing, then Hermione and Ron get in a fight, then Harry and Ron, I find out I'm a Soulmater and so one."

"Only one thing's the same," Harry said bitterly, "They all have to do with me."

"Harry." Hermione started but Harry snapped his fingers and they were all in their class rooms where they had their first class with their books in front of them.

Hermione looked down at her books and said, "Wow.Harry."

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

Harry glared darkly into the crystal ball he was looking into in divination.Saturday was the first Quidditch match of the season.Gryffindor vs. Slytherin.and he was also glad that all his team was on 'his side.'

He kept seeing that horrible replay over and over in his mind.it was going to happen, he was POSITIVE!

Everything flashed before his eyes.he didn't even notice Professor Trewanley looking at him honestly impressed.she too could see what was happening in his Crystal ball and she too knew he could see it too.

"Class dismissed.Mr Potter, can I have a word?"

Harry looked at his teacher and she said, "You can see it.the next Quidditch match?"

Harry nodded and said, "I've got to go.Transfiguration next."

She nodded and Harry took off quickly running down the stairs.

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

Harry sat in the common room doing his Transfiguration homework.a report of animagis. He was petting his orange cat named Lily.

The cat looked up at him with something that almost looked like worry in her big green eyes.

Ron came into the common room and said, "Taking a leaf out of Granger's book and taking a liking to cats? Can't wait to see what you'll say when it kills Hedwig."

Harry sighed, stood up and said, "Bug off Ron.I didn't say or do anything to you."

Ron glared at Harry and said, "Make me Potter. I don't listen to you anymore.your not the center of the world and not everyone had to be your slave and do everything you say."

Harry glared at Ron and said, "I'm starting to think all that time with Peter being your rat must have started rubbing off on you.your just like him."

Ron glared at Harry and slammed his fist into the taller boys face.

A pair of Ice Blue eyes shot open and a lion.that was originally in Harry's secret chamber in another castle appeared out of no where and started growling at Ron.

Harry knew the lion could see everything happening in the Gryffindor common room and it was damn protective over him.

It roared at Ron and changed into his real height. The lion was normally as small as a large cat (Just below Harry's knee) but now he was up to Harry's chin.and Harry was 6 foot something.

A few people screamed and Ron back up in shock.

Harry put his hand on the lion's back and said, "Leave him Coura."

The lion looked at Harry then nodded but before turning back to its small size it growled at Ron then disappeared.

Harry looked sharply just as Professor McGonagall walked in looking excited.

She spotted him and said, "Harry.Dumbledore's office.now."

Harry nodded and quickly moved though the portrait and out of site.

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

Harry nearly chocked at what he saw when he entered Dumbledore's office.

There was Sirius, in human form, Professor Lupin, Professor Dumbledore, about 5 Aurours and the Minster of Magic.

"HARRY! I'M FREE! THEY GOT PETTIGREW!" Sirius yelled and hugged Harry.

Harry gasped, started to turn blue and said, "That's - great - but - I - CAN'T BREATH!"

"Oops.sorry," Sirius said and moved back.

"You know what this means Mr Potter? Mr Black here will be your sisters and your permanent guardian until your 18," Fudge said to Harry.

Harry laughed happily and said, "Can I go tell Jasmine.and Gemma." He added that last one with an after thought.he hadn't seen much of his second sister lately.

"Sure," Dumbledore said and added, "Also I offered Sirius a job Harry.I hope you don't mind if he teaches dulling.that way you can concentrate on your studies and Quidditch."

Harry nodded happily and took off running.

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

For the next 4 days news spread that Sirius Black was innocent and sure enough it came out in the Daily Prophet, writing by Rita Skeeter.no one knew why but for some odd reason these days she wrote everything how it was.no faking. (Harry, Hermione and Ron knew why though.)

On Saturday morning Harry jumped up in his bed quickly.another dream.

He closed his eyes and mumbled, "I can't remember it."

"What are you on about now Potter?" Ron's tired voice muttered from across the room.the teachers for fed up with the Gryffindors fighting and made the girls and boys go back to their separate dorms, make the other Gryffindors change their crests right and so on.now many of the Gryffindors got along again.

But the 5th years seemed to still be in 'War'.and only the 5th years.

A few people had actually ASKED Harry if that was ok and Harry had told them to be friends with who they wanted.he didn't care at all.

"Nothing Ron," Harry yawned and looked at his clock.

H got up, pulled his Quidditch robes on, grabbed his Firebolt and walked to the common room.

About a half an hour later Fred and George came running down the stairs in their scarlet Quidditch robes and new brooms with them.

"THANK YOU HARRY! Professor Black told us that these were presents from you," George said well holding out his broom, which said Nimbus 2000.

"Sorry I could get you all a better broom.but I had to have enough money for the other's too," Harry said as Hermione, Katie, Alicia and Angelina walked down in their Quidditch robes with their broom in their hands.they all held Nimbus 2000.

They all smiled at Harry and said thanks.

There was a sudden knock at the common room door and Harry opened it to see Sirius.

"Hey Harry, I want a word with you before your Quidditch match.I suggest the rest of you go start eating," He said to them.Sirius and Remus were the most loved teachers in Hogwarts.even to the Slytherins.

Harry nodded and started walking after Sirius.and looked over as his cat Lily jumped on his shoulder.

"Hey Lil.can't play today.Quidditch," Harry said to the cat.

Sirius laughed when he swore he saw the cat frown. She jumped off Harry's shoulder and ran somewhere.

They walked in to the Office Sirius had been giving and he smiled and said, "You were so kind to your team.and remember back in your 3rd year when I gave you that Firebolt and said to conceder it 12 years worth of Birthday presents?"

Harry nodded and Sirius continued, "Well I just realized even after I met you I didn't give you any Christmas presents.and well.here your 14 years worth of Christmas Presents."

Harry's mouth fell open.there in Sirius's hand was a shiny new broom with the name 'Lightning Scar' written on the side.nobody could make a faster travelling broom since it would be literally impossible to control.

Harry smiled and said, "THANK YOU SIRIUS!"

He smiled and Harry gave in a huge and said, "Put these on your sister's beds.they deserve a present too.

Harry stared at the two large presents then snapped his fingers and they were gone.

"What?" Sirius said.

"Long story," Harry said as he took off running.

He stopped outside the great hall and looked in to see only Professors Dumbledore, McGonagall, Lupin and coming up behind Harry was Sirius.

He looked at the tables to see only the Gryffindor Quidditch team was there.

Harry walked forwards.hiding his new broom and said to Hermione, "Here Mione.you can use it for today's match."

Hermione's mouth fell open as he passed her his Firebolt.

Everyone stared at Harry like he was nuts and then gasped as Harry set the Lightning Scar down on the table.

"Holy lord Harry! Where'd you get that?" Fred yelled.

"My Godfather," Harry said looking quickly at Sirius then back at his plate and started filling it with food and added, "Now start eating before I whack you over the head with it."

As they ate Hermione asked, "Why did you lend me your Firebolt?"

"Well first of all Mione your borrowing it for all the Quidditch Matches well we're in Hogwarts unless you get a Firebolt and use your Nimbus for practices just like I'll be using the Firebolt for practices.and the reason for way is because you're my best friend and I want to prove that being muggle born doesn't make a difference," Harry said obviously thinking of something to say.

"More like he just favours you over the rest of us," Fred and George said together with cheerful laugh.

As everyone piled in the Great Hall and many were gasping at the 'Lightning Scar'.

Gemma looked at Harry and spoke to him for the first time in about 2 weeks.although she was anything BUT kind when she spoke.

"You know Harry.you like being the center of everything don't you? And you love having people seeing you as a hero? The Boy-Who-Lived, the Heir of Merlin and the Hogwarts founders.and now you have a FREAKING BROOM MADE AFTER YOU!"

Harry jumped and said, "What are you talking about?"

"Your new broom stupid.it's called Lightning Scar.look at your forehead and tell me they didn't name it after you," Gemma snapped at Harry pointing to his scar.

Jasmine was watching this and started gritting her teeth as Gemma continued.

"OH yeah, I forgot.you HAVE to be the center of attention. You were the one mom and dad kept. You are the one who defeated Voldemort. You were the one who got the scar. You were the one to stop Voldemort from getting the Philosophers Stone. You were the one who defeated the Basilisk in the Chamber of Secrets. You were the one that helped Sirius escape. You were the one that got chosen for the Tri-Wizard Tournament. You were the one who caused Voldemort to come back. You are the hair of Hogwarts and Merlin. YOU CAUSED OUR PARENTS, CEDRIC DIGGORY AND MANY OTHER PEOPLE TO DIE!" She finished.

By now everyone heard every word she had said and were staring at Gemma in shock.

Gemma smirked as she saw a flash of guilt passing through Harry's eyes.

Jasmine had it. She stood up and walked over to Gemma.

"Hey Gem," She said tapping her shoulder.

"Hmm?" Her 'mirror image' said turning to look at Jasmine.

SMACK!

Everyone stared in pure shock this time.Jasmine Potter.book worm.the girl that never wants to get in trouble.a girl that did finally showed her adventurous streak all Potters and Evans had.just slapped her sister, Gemma, across the face in front of all the teachers!

"DON'T EVER TELL HARRY, HERMIONE, ME, OR ANYBODY ELSE ANYTHING LIKE THAT EVER AGAIN GEMMA LILY POTTER! YOU'RE THE ONE WHO LOVES THE SPOT LIGHT AND YOU'RE THE ONE WHO'S THE FREAKING PREP!"

Jasmine say back down and Gemma looked like she face been thrown into a stonewall.

Everyone was quiet and Harry mumbled, "God help us all."

Hermione heard him and looked over, took his hand and gave it a reassuring squeeze.

Harry smiled at her then said, "Let's go team."

They all left as the Gryffindor cheered and were soon followed by the Slytherins.

Dumbledore watched them leave and sighed.his normal twinkle in his blue eyes gone.

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

Chapter 7 is done.stupid title really.

to one reviewer thanks for pointing out that I'm a terrible speller.no I'm not being sarcastic or anything.I mean you do NOT want to see my old spelling tests.and I know I could use a Beta reader but I've never been the person to ask for anything really plus I'm got a bit of a streak of pride going through me.I wouldn't even ask my friend for a bit of help in math because she got how to do something and I didn't.

To another reviewer.I DID NOT spoil the damn story.it's mine and I will make it however I please.if you don't like it don't read it.simple as that.

And finally to Jessica Black.I know I made Ron a bit OOC but not even I would do all that torture.I don't think even Harry would and Ron was the one that totally insulted his parents

I hope you like this so far.next we get out Quidditch match.heehee

Sorry if you're a Ron fan.I needed him to act like that for this point in the story.
