"Oh you are the Soviet student whom we are all informed about in our letter."

At that, the door slide opened and revealed someone rather familiar.

"Hey Mudblood!"

'Well, now I why that idiot looked so familiar,' thought Harry warily. 'Lucius Malfoy.'

"For once, Malfoy!" snapped Lily. "Stop calling me Mudblood! We have a visitor."

"Well, well, who do we have here? Another Potty?" the voice drawled. Harry noted that elder Malfoy looked totally like Draco Malfoy. But at the mention of the name Potter, Harry darkened.

"For your information, he is Harry Sleth Arroua Dora," snapped Lily again. "He's from Soviet Community Magical Education Academy, our new exchange student!" Turning to Harry, "This is Lucius Malfoy."

"I know," replied Harry, his eyes shining with something akin to mischief, "Lucius Malfoy, only son of Draekn Malfoy and Moraine Malfoy."

Malfoy's eyes shone with pride while Lily looked aghast.

"Am I really that famous in Soviet Union?" asked Malfoy.

"Why, yes! We always have a fanfare when anyone bearing your family name arrive."

"Really? What kind of fanfare?"

"A funeral fanfare, lamenting our bad luck," said Harry casually. Immediately, Malfoy turned scarlet while Lily tried to smother her laughter.

"Why you!"

"You are a disgrace to your father, Malfoy! You are expected to be much better to trade subtle insults!"

"If you are not of a pureblood, you are not fit to talk with me!"

"Pureblood? Your family may have been around for a long time but can your family traced to the time of King Arthur Pendragon? No? Only five family of magic can be traced to the time of King Arthur Pendragon and none are Malfoys. Both of your ancestors had started as muggles and here you are claiming the purity of blood," spat Harry. "Now scam!"

Malfoy drew out his wand and point it at Harry. A corner of his mouth twitched as he started to mouth an incantation. However, Harry was much more faster. His wand was out in a spilt second. There was a blast as the spell hit its target. Lily could feel the draught as the spell blazed passes her.

Lily turned and saw Malfoy was thrown out of the compartment. A sudden realization caused her to blush to an embarrass red. Lucius Malfoy had been stripped stark naked. She turned to cover her embarrassment. Harry noted his mother's embarrassment and waved his wand. The door slammed shut.

"Have a seat, please, Lily. Really, I must apologise for my choice of spell," said Harry, shaking his head. "I hope that after being stripped naked, Lucius Malfoy will be humbled."

He leaned back and removed the Invisibility Charm on his phoenix. Dark Flare came into sight and turned a baneful eye towards Lily. Harry lifted up his hand and the phoenix jumped over from his shoulder to his hand. Once again, Lily gasped, "How in the name of Merlin..."

The phoenix gave a trill at the name of Merlin. Lily looked surprised that the phoenix understood human language. Harry glared the phoenix and was returned with an indignant trill. Harry laughed.

Lily looked at the phoenix. Her eyes took in the beautiful plumage of the bird. The plumage of the phoenix is midnight blue and black. A glossy shine...no, scratch that! There was a glow from the phoenix. The unearthly glow was black and midnight blue, radiating a sense of calm and yet power. Her eyes traveled to Harry and lingered there. Somehow, Harry was able to communicate with the phoenix. For some strange reasons, Harry looked rather like the annoying James Potter. Lily noted with surprised that Harry's eyes looked exactly like hers.

"Harry, how come your phoenix is..."

"How come my phoenix is midnight blue and black instead of the regular golden red?"

Lily nodded vigorously. Harry grinned and turned to his phoenix, currently preoccupied itself by pecking Harry's robes.

"Enough, Dark Flare," Harry admonished. "And don't you go pecking Lily! She have quite enough on her hands without you disturbing her!"

The phoenix gave Harry an very offended look as if to say, "What!? Since when did I have such thoughts?"

Harry shook his head. Lily laughed openly at Harry and the phoenix. Harry is such a likable person. Although he had stripped Lucius Malfoy naked, he at least had a plausible reason. Unlike the annoying James Potter. Speaking of James Potter, Lily suddenly noted that Harry looked rather like James Potter. His wild unkempt hair and his facial expression were unnervingly similar to the insufferable idiot James Potter. The resemblance ended there. Harry had a much more leaner body and a healthy tan on his skin.

'He's hot!' thought Lily. 'I wonder if he has a girlfriend?'

"Harry?"

"Yes?"

"Can I ask you a question?"

"Fire away."

"Do..." Lily began tentatively. Harry looked at Lily questioningly. Lily plunged in recklessly, "Do you have a girlfriend?"

Harry smiled and took out a photo from within his robe and handed it over to Lily. In the photo, it showed Harry and very beautiful girl. Her features were well defined. Her long smooth lustrous hair framed her delicate face. In short, she was a very attractive girl. Lily felt a faint sense of disappointment and jealousy. Harry's sudden laughter shattered Lily's thought.

"I must say that you are jealous of my girlfriend, Lily. Surprisingly, you don't know me well enough and you want to be my girlfriend."

Lily blushed and tried to cover her face while Harry laughed.

"What is her name?" asked Lily in an attempt to cover up her embarrassment.

"Janet Heselwood," said Harry dreamily.

"Janet Heselwood," mused Lily, "A very beautiful name."

"You think so too?"

Lily nodded. It was then the compartment door slide open. Dark Flare disappeared with a bright flash of blue light. At the doorway, four people stood.

"James Potter, Sirius Black, Remus Lupin and Peter Pettigrew," muttered Lily darkly under her breath. "Hogwarts' infamous Marauders."

"Hey, James! The rumors are indeed true! This kid looked exactly like you!" said Sirius. Harry noted Sirius looked just like what he was twenty years in the future.

"Indeed," smiled James, "I can see a potential mischief-maker in the near future. That was a one damn nice spell, my friend. What spell did you used?"

Harry smirked and reply, "The Invisibility Charm."

Immediately Lily and the Marauders looked at Harry in surprise and roared with laughter. James and Sirius looked at Harry with something akin to awe and respect.

"Well, I never!" whispered Sirius. "Invisibility Charm! There must be other charms to use!"

Harry laughed and replied, "There is a lot of spell which one can use to embarrass others. The Invisibility Charm is one of them. The Image Illusion Charm is another."

"Think of all the possibilities, Sirius," said James. Sirius nodded vigorously. Remus looked at Harry in mild surprise and asked, "Well, I haven't introduce myself. I'm Remus Lupin."

Harry looked at Remus. He turned towards Lily and said, "Would you mind to leaving us alone, Lily?"

Lily looked highly offended and was about to retort when Harry interrupted, "Just me and Remus. Help me throw the rest of them out, thank you!"

Lily smiled and turned towards James, Sirius and Pettigrew and called for them to get lost. She walked out and slides the door close. But Harry knew better and than to say anything without the Secrecy Charm. He waved his wand the door clicked.

"Remus Lupin," Harry began, "are you by any possible chance a werewolf?"

Remus paled. Hoarsely, he whispered, "How did you know?"

"Your name was an instant give away. Remus is the name of the one of the founder of the great muggle empire Rome. The two of them was once raised by wolves before they founded the city. Don't worry, one of my teachers is a werewolf himself and his name is Romulus Lunar."

Remus sighed audibly. "It's so hard to keep a secret."

Harry nodded knowingly, "I understand. Don't worry; I wouldn't reveal it to anyone. I just hope that most will accept the fact that werewolf aren't a danger to anyone."

Remus gave Harry a lopsided grin, "You know, you are the first to say that aloud. Not even James or Sirius dared to say that a werewolf is harmless."

"Allow me to say this, I had face a dog equivalent to Cerberus, a King of Serpent, Dementors, dragon, sphinx and even giant spiders. A werewolf would seem rather harmless."

Remus choked. Harry had encounters with the most dangerous creatures known to wizarding world? Impossible! How in the name of the Father of Magic, Merlin, did he survive?

"I happened to have this unusual knack of attracting troubles. In my school, the school nurse had once commented that the year in which I will be absent of the Hospital Wing is either the year in which I graduated, or the long hands of Death come to seek my soul or a miracle had happened," said Harry, "At the same time, I also have cheated Death many times. I hope that this year at the most renowned school of magical education, Hogwarts, I can find peace."

Immediately, a sharp warning surfaced once again from the recess of his mind, "Beware of the Fool. He could prove to be your undoing."

"Anyway, I think that I better sleep. So Remus, do you mind that I chase you out?" asked Harry.

"No problem, I will leave by myself." With that, Remus excused himself and walked out of the compartment, not noticing a flash of blue light and a midnight blue phoenix had appeared in the compartment or the lingering eyes of Harry Potter.

-------

"I don't believe it!" exclaimed James as he sat down in his compartment. "That...Soviet kid! How dare he! I don't believe that Evan chose him over me!"

"Who?" asked Remus vaguely. He was still pondering over Harry's words.

"Earth to Remus! Earth to Remus!" called Sirius as he waved his hand in front of Remus's face. There was no reaction. Sirius sighed and sat down heavily on the chair.

"Sir!" Sirius mocked a salute to James. "I was unable to establish radio contact with Moony! Request for immediately action to enable us to reestablish radio contact!"

James mocked a serious face and replied, "Permission granted, Private Black!"

Sirius saluted James and winked at Peter. He threw a punch at Remus. Normally, whenever Sirius or anyone tried and attack Remus, they would find their punches or kicks caught or deflected due to his inhuman reflexes as a werewolf. Today, he was so absorbed that he failed to notice the punch. He yelped with pain the moment Sirius's blow hitted him.

Sirius looked at Remus with utter amazement. James also stared at Remus. Peter, however, stared at Sirius with awe. He had never expect that Sirius to hit Remus. While James and Sirius started to worry about Remus, Peter start digging into his pocket in search of any rare Chocolate Frog cards.

"Remus, you seems distracted," said James. "Are you all right?"

"I will tell you later," whispered Remus. "There are unsavory people trying to eavesdrop on our words."

"Where?"

"Gryffindor Common Room."

------------------

"Welcome!" Dumbledore addressed the mass of black robes in front of him. "Welcome, new and old, to another term of our magical education. Now before I allow everyone of you to eat the delicious feast, I must interrupt you with an old man's wheeze. This year, we have a new student who will be joining us. Let's put our hands together to welcome our new exchange student from Soviet Community Magical Education Academy-Mr Harry Sleth Arroua Dora."

A roar of applauses rung through the Great Hall as Harry made his way to the Staff Table. He stopped in front of Dumbledore and whispered to Dumbledore, "I have the great honour of meeting the much esteemed Headmaster of Hogwarts!"

"Thank you, child. If you not mind, please, sit down on the chair over there and await to be sorted," smiled Dumbledore. Harry walked over to the rickety chair and sat down on it. Professor McGonagall placed the Sorting Hat on him.

'Well, well, who do we have here' mused the Hat, 'It seems that you are quite special milord.'

'You know?'

'How could I not know when the Lord of Light arrived at Hogwarts? My, my, you are from the future! Welcome to Hogwarts of the past!'

'Thank you.'

'Now where to place you? You are the heir of my previous owner, Godric Gryffindor and his lady, Rowena Ravenclaw. I see your courage is predominated and yet your wits and knowledge are also on par with even the brightest of the Ravenclaw. Yet the calm of our true king of Great Britain, King Arthur Pendragon. Ah...Yes, and the adept of magic from Merlin. You are truly hard to place, Lord Harry.'

'I do have the choice of Gryffindor. After all, I'm here to protect James Potter and Lily Evans from all danger,' Harry said.

'Well said! You have proven your worth to be in GRYFFINDOR!"

Professor McGonagall removed the hat and Harry made his way slowly to the table of Gryffindor. He barely slowed down when he casted a wandless Memory Charm on the Sorting Hat to prevent it from revealing Harry's secret in the future.

"Welcome to Gryffindor!" smiled Lily as Harry sat down beside him. "By the way, what did you tell Dumbledore?"

Harry smiled and replied, "It's a secret."

"So! Let the feast begin!"

The food appeared on the plates and the students began to feast.

TBC...

Haha! Another chapter completed! I hope that this meets your expectations! Anyway, please read and review! Anyway, I was hoping that you guys give me opinion:

Should I let Janet return back in time to stay with Harry and help him? (This will give me a chance to develop the budding romance between the two.)

Or

Should I just leave her back at Hogwarts with Ron and Hermione?
