princess55: I like making things more complex than they need to be.. so much so that I sometimes confuse myself.. Also, Harry isn't exactly going to be the story for a while, so the twins being older is one way to sort of have Harry, aswell as introducing a couple of new characters.. plus another little thing that you will read below...
Anja10: Thankies :)
WolfMoon: Thanks a lot for the support! :)
Mandie/Snuffles: Harry probably won't be in his own form very much, in the way that he probably won't be looking like himself. I don't want to say too much, but you can probably guess what I mean. He'll also have a few new tricks up his... scales? :)
Maxx77: I can say that Elisa will be making an appearance, but won't say more than that ;-)
Clare: Thanks for the kind words. If you, or anyone else for that matter, has ideas, or would just like to chat, my AIM S/N is KaotacLetrai and my ICQ is 8622061, so feel free to get in touch.

Two short figures were watching from the shadows as the Hogwarts students entered the great hall, eyeing one boy in particular with suspicion. Older in appearance and taller than those students around him, the blond haired took a seat at the head of the Slytherin's table. According to Hermione and Ron, this boy took a nasty fall from a broom in a quiditch match and lost him memory for the better part of a year. The boy was always a prat to them, but after the accident, they said it might look like he might have changed for the better. But, according to them, a few months into the year after he had fallen, he had returned - repeating the year he had missed due to the accident - and was his charming old self again. Then even said that he may have gotten worse. Though, they had a great laugh about the fact that his too, very stupid goons, Grabbe and Goyle managed to graduate before Malfoy.
Their attention was taken away from the Slytherin table when the first years began to file in and the sorting started.
(AN: I always find the sorting a pain in the ass to write, and a little boring to read. So I'll just leave that out.. unless I need to make up on the word quota.. in which case you readers won't even know I wrote this)
A half hour later, the last first year went to join Ravenclaw and Dumbledore rose and lifted his hands for silence, "I would like to welcome you all to another year, and would like to remind you that the forest on the grounds is forbidden to all, and that the Village, Hogsmead is off limits to all those in First and Second years. Further, I would like to point you to the new Head Girl and Head Boy. Virginia Weasley and Colin Creevy."
He glanced around at the Slytherin table when a certain blond boy made a rather rude comment about the Weasleys, continuing by saying, "Miss Weasley is not an Animagus, Mister Malfoy, so you will keep yourself from calling her a female dog in the future. A week of detentions. Now, I have two more announcements before we can tuck in, so please stay with me. Last year, a plan was put into motion by the then Head Girl, Hermione Granger. It involves an idea that has proved very beneficial in Muggle schools around the world. What I'm talking about is an SRC, or a Student Representative Council. Fifty Six students - Two from each year, from each house, a male and female - will be elected by their fellow housemates and yearmates to be the spokes persons for that group. If you wish to run, you have a week from today to give your names to your Head of House - except for the first years who will have a month to get to know those around them. More information will be given at that time. As for my second announcements..." He motioned the two people in the shadows to move forward. One looked almost exactly like Harry Potter in his second year.. except he didn't have those trademark green eyes or glasses. The other, only some of the teachers recognised as a miniature Lily Evans. "These two are from Atlantis and they will be joining the second years. Please, both of you step over to Professor McGonagall.."
Professor McGonagall then took out another, small scroll and called, "Ferux!" and motioned to the chair. The Harry Potter Look-a-like took a seat and the hat was placed on his head.
"Aah, an Atlantean. How interesting.. And how difficult.. You have it all, there's no way to place you.. Yes, it is time," it mumbled to itself, getting confused looks from most everyone there. The hat then started speaking louder, like it would during the Sorting Song, "We have reached a new, great point in Hogwarts' future and History. When I was created by Rowena Ravenclaw, Helga Hufflepuff, Godric Gryffindor and Salazar Slytherin, it was to stop the arguments between Gryffindor and Slytherin. Then they told me that I would create a new house, centuries from that time, when they were no longer here, and to name it after the greatest Headmaster Hogwarts had ever had. It is with that said that I sort this into..." He stoped for a minute. There was not a sound, the silence was almost deafening before he yelled, "Dumbledoor!"
The hall broke into amazed yelling, McGonagall removed the hat from the boys head and cast a puzzled look at Dumbledoor, who stood and rose his arms again to quiet them down. A minute later, McGonagall yelled, "Celeres!" and the girl then took the same seat as her brother had, having the had drooped on her head.
The hat softly chuckled, saying "Aah, another one. Twins, I see. Yes, you two are very much the same. How interesting. Yes, only one thing we can do.." and the hat again shouted "Dumbledoor!" and once again the hall started yelling and shouting in confusion. This time, Dumbledore didn't try to stop it, and just waved his hands to make the food appear around the hall.
As McGonagall went to take the hat back to the Headmaster's office, Dumbledore motioned them over to the head table and added two chairs on either side of him, one next to McGonagall and the other next to Snape - he always thought it best to be in the middle of those two. "What an interesting turn of events. We'll need to house you two with another house until we can get you your own rooms.."
"There is room with the Slytherins," Snape said as he eyed the boy who had just sat next to him...i Looks so much like Potter.. it's amazing/i, he thought.
"Thank you, Severus. That should do nicely. Now let's eat up, shall we? I'll have a chat with the two of you in the morning," he told the two children before he began eating, and the others soon joined him.
After the feast, Ferux and Celeres had been given directions to the Slytherin Common Room aswell as the password after the two insisted that they could make the journey on their own. They were just outside the Common Room when someone yelled, "What is it with you, Potter? You can't even die properly. Well, lets see if we can't fix that!" and they turned to see a much bigger blond boy charging at them with six other Slytherins just behind. Then a bright golden light flooded the corridor.

So... What do you think about the new house and the SRC? Good? Bad?
Next chapter: Some trouble, new friends, school yard politics and a search.. such fun!
