Chapter 4- The Four Founding Corners
Harry found himself back at the Weasley house. After showing the family his
recording. (He edited out the parts about Percy) Mrs. Weasley was thrilled to have
another child in her house. Harry didn't know how she could stand have ten children in
just one house. That was the size of Harry's Gryffindor class! Somehow his trunk with
all of his belongings also got pulled into this dimension with him. Harry spent a lot of
time with Ron and Ginny showing them 'memories' of their other selves. Privately he
showed Ginny the scenes of their dates over the years and many times left Ginny
blushing and smiling sweetly afterwards. When Harry asked her out (again) she accepted
immediately and Harry found himself getting the 'big brothers' speech from all of her
brothers. (again) As well as life was going for Harry he was bored. After a whole
month of this peacefulness he began to get bored. He couldn't remember a time when he
was so care-free and no evil was lurking over him ready to pounce at any moment. Harry
needed a project before he died of boredom. One day while talking to Ron he found the
answer. They had been talking about Hogwarts. Ron had always been interested in the
fact of having wizard school. He had attended Muggle School and knew several witches
and wizards whose parents wouldn't even let them do that. That was when Harry came
up with his brilliant idea.
"Let's start our own wizard school!" He exclaimed to Ron after tales of what muggle
school was like. "It can be just like Hogwarts! Only we need to find Hermione and
Draco." Ron's head snapped up.
"Draco? As in Draco Malfoy?"
Harry nodded. "Of course it would only be right if there were four founders. No more
no less. We need the four corners. Bravery, loyalty, knowledge, and ambition. It is the
only way for the school to work."
Ron looked at as though he was crazy. "And where do I fit in?"
Harry gave him a look that would have reminded the other Ron of the look Hermione
gave the two of them when they were being stupid.
"Loyalty. I have never met a person who was so loyal to their friends and family."
Ron was taken aback. He had never thought of himself as loyal. After recovering he had
another question, "Where does the knowledge part come in? Malfoy certainly doesn't fit
that description."
"Hermione! We have to find Hermione!"
"But doesn't she live as a muggle? She would be hard to convince that magic is real.
Five galleons she doesn't believe us."
"You don't know Hermione very well. Actually you don't know her at all. But that is
beside the point. I believe I know her better than anyone in this world and I am pretty
sure that by now she has figured out that she is a witch. Or at least suspects it."
The red haired boy (for he hadn't seen enough to be a man yet) through up his hands.
"Fine! I wasn't going to win this argument anyway. Now where do we find this
Hermione of yours?"
Harry grinned grabbed hold of Ron's hand and disaperated from the Burrow.
To say the least Hermione was surprised when to strange men appeared out of
thin air before her. She dropped the spell book, screeched, and backed away. The man
with black hair laughed and said, "Its good to see you to Hermione! See I told you that
she would have figured out that she was a witch by now Ron. Look she was reading a
spell book! I believe that is five more galleons for me and five less for you."
'Ron' as the red-haired was called sighed and counted five gold coins and gave them to
his friend.
"W-who are you?" Hermione asked shaken up by their sudden appearance.
"Oh how rude of me, I am Harry Potter and this is my best friend Ron Weasley. As you
already know we are wizards. You see you and Ron were born in this dimension and I
was born in a different one. In the one where I come from the three of us are best friends.
Well not you and Ron, you two are more than that." He said eyes twinkling much like an
old headmaster of his. Before Hermione could react he took her by the hand and Ron
held onto his as well and they once again disappeared into thin air. This time they
reappeared into a large room with a huge bed in the middle. Sitting on that bed just
thinking lay a blonde haired boy who looked startled as three people randomly came into
his room. This of course was none other then Draco Malfoy.
"What are you doing in my house? I warn you my father is a powerful wizard I will call
him if you don't leave at once!"
Harry chuckled.
"Having daddy fight your battles now Draco? Never thought I would see the day that you would turn back to him."
Draco got up from the bed to shove the raven-haired man. As soon he touched Harry's
shoulder they were gone again. This time they returned to Ron's room at the Burrow.
When they arrived Draco screamed, "WEASLEY! You take me back NOW!"
"Silenco!" Harry said to stop the whole family from coming up to Ron's room. Draco's
yelling could no longer be heard. It was quite funny actually seeing Draco Malfoy with
his mouth wide open as if to scream but no sound was coming out.
"Now if you would kindly shut up I will remove the charm. I believe that this discussion
will go much better if we can all talk." Harry said in an annoyingly calm voice.
Eventually Draco did calm down and Harry removed the charm.
"Now onto introductions! I am Harry Potter. Draco Malfoy meet Hermione Granger. I
believe that if the three of is together that we could form the strongest wizard and alliance
this world as ever seen!" He went on to once again explain who he was and where he
had come from. Instead of the memory Harry told them as to direct the narrative more to
the people in the room. He explained in great detail the event of Draco joining the side of
good.
~Flashback~
Harry was walking up to the headmaster's office to see if there was any more news on when Voldemort's next attack was going to be. He muttered, "Snickers," and stepped onto the moving staircase. He heard voices coming from inside the headmaster's office.
"I just couldn't do it Professor, I am not my father. I can't just kill an innocent person because Lord Voldemort says so. Even if it is Potter. But after refusing, I can't go back home, my father would kill me. I need your help Professor."
It was Draco Malfoy! Of all the people in the world Harry had never expected that a
Malfoy would turn to the side of light. But it seemed that Malfoy had done exactly that.
Not only had he turned good he also had saved Harry's life. Harry knew that Draco
wasn't lying because being the heir of Gryffindor made it so he could tell when someone
was lying. (It had taken quite a bit of training to be able to gain this power.) He heard
Dumbledore's voice from inside the office.
"Come in Mr. Potter, this concerns you as well."
As he entered Malfoy looked angry and horrified that Harry had heard the whole
confession. He looked at his old enemy and stuck out his hand for Malfoy to shake.
"Friends Malfoy?" He asked, and Draco smiled.
"Friends Potter."
~End Flashback~
After Harry told his WHOLE story to the three other people in the room they
stared at him for a long time. He had told them every detail of his years at Hogwarts
including things that he had not told the other Weasley's. Like Percy's betrayal. He and
Ron had had an argument about that, Ron not believing that one of his brothers would do
such a thing. It took forever to get Ron to actually believe Harry.
"Now that we are done with that, we should talk about the school. The only thing I have
planned is that there are going to be four houses. Potter, Weasley, Granger, and Malfoy.
We will make a list of the students who are magical and we will each chose the ones for
our houses."
The others nodded in agreement. After that Hermione took over. She conjured up what
looked like a muggle overhead and began to make a list.
"Now we need to decide WHERE the school is going to be. I think because your old
school Harry, was a castle this one should be too. And leading in on that how exactly are
we going to build a castle? After that how do we know who is magical and who is not?
Then where are they going to get their textbooks? And lastly we will need more staff
than just the four of us."
Harry smiled he had a lot of answers.
"Firstly, through my inheritance I should get the same castle that Hogwarts was in. It
belonged to Gryffindor and I am his heir. I also have all my books from school and with the exception of my second year DADA book they will be helpful."
They spent another couple of hours talking about the school eventually Harry got
very annoyed and blew up. "There HAS to be a way for all of you to get your memory of
all that has happened over the years! Opening this school will be impossible otherwise.
The three of you need to learn what you learned in school. And no Hermione not just the
knowledge."
Hermione had begun to interrupt saying that she knew just as much as her other self as far as witchcraft was.
"In school we not only learned how to do the homework the was assigned. Was also
learned how to deal with others; cause trouble; get out of the trouble we created; what
friendship really is; and how to work together. Without that knowledge this is an
impossible goal!"
Draco put his oh-so-familiar smirk on his face and with the same drawl said, "Well then
Potter this is impossible. Now I must be going, my father will be wondering where I
am."
Harry just ignored him and kept on thinking. Ron and Hermione got to talking about
various things. In no time at all they became great friends. There was something about
Harry that brought them together. Normally neither one of them would have ever
thought to hang with the other. An immature boy who loved sports and had a huge
family and a girl who spent all her time reading and was an only child. It seemed like
forever before Harry moved again. He ran over to his trunk and pulled out a large book.
It had been a gift from Hermione last Christmas. His two friends looked at him with
curiosity as he frantically began flipping through the pages.
"There!" He cried out suddenly. "I found just the thing! It will take several months and
lots of work but I think we can do it!"
"What?" Ron and Hermione asked together.
"The Noisnemind Potion! It will give you memories of another you in a different dimension."
Hermione and Ron peered over Harry's shoulder's to see what the potion was. Ron
gasped. "Harry those ingredients are rare and will cost a lot of money! Look here,
phoenix ashes, sweat from a mermaid, tongue of a dragon! Where are we supposed to
find these things? Even if we did have a lot of money, which may I remind you we don't,
it would be to hard to find any of this. Also what about the part of something from the
dimension we want the memories of ourselves in!"
Harry grinned at the last part. "We can use a splinter from my old Nimbus Two
Thousand. I crashed it into the Whomping Willow in my third year and I couldn't bear to
throw it away, it is in a box in my trunk. As for everything else we should talk to Draco
tomorrow about it."
Harry didn't want to mention the fact that there was a large amount of money waiting for
him in Gryffindor's chamber at Gryffindor castle. He knew how snippy Ron could get at
mention of money or lack there of. The trio decided to go to bed and Harry apperated
Hermione back to her house. When he returned to the Burrow he heard Ron whispering
softly in his sleep to an imaginary Hermione. Harry laughed and went into a long restful
sleep.
