A/N

Fanx for all the reviews, they brought a tear to my eye they did, sniff sniff.

Oh and wish me luck, because my GCSE results come out on Thursday, I'm just so nervous! I am so going to fail maths, there's no chance in hell of passing that one my friends.

Wish me luck xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Oh and I just heard summat really fucked up, did you know that you are only considered shoplifting if you steal summat worth more than 18p? What's the point of that?

I have re-formatted chapter three for you my wonderful readers so it should be much easier to read now.

'Hello' means people talking normally.

'Hello' means they are thinking either to themselves or each other through their mind link.

So on we go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Now as I have kept you waiting long enough, enjoy the Halloween feast " Dumbledore clapped is hands and food appeared at the table. As Harry looked at the people sitting around him he internally started cursing all the deities he knew in as many languages as he could remember.

Now as the story continues on Harry Potter and the Alliance

Lights come back and fade up from black to the exact same scene as we left our characters in

Harry had unwittingly sat himself down in the last place he wanted to be at the Gryffindor tale. Opposite him were two people that used to be considered family to him (the jury was still out on how he currently felt about them) but he had no trouble discerning his emotions about the two ladies sitting either side of him.

'Possibly the worst place in the entire hall and yep where do I sit? Right here, the Potter luck is back in action"

'Oh come on they can't be that bad love' Jess sent through their link.

'Besides' Dan added 'I didn't think that the Potter luck had ever left, because there was that time when you took us to that pyramid on a drunken dare and we g trapped inside for three days that you oh so conveniently blamed on the so called Potter luck, oh, and the time we were arrested for being drunk and disorderly in America there was also the time—"

"Thank you Dan, but I don't need a list of my personal favours right now okay?"

'Shadow, the people you're sitting between a looking at you funny' Astral said gently interrupting the friendly banter

"Oh crap' was heard faintly through the link followed by three laughs of amusement before a large surge of annoyance from Harry which only seemed to amuse the others further before the link was severed.

'OI, Y'ALRIGHT?' Ron was practically shouting in his face with gravy dripping down his chin looking both annoyed at Harry but incredibly stupid at the same time. His red hair was short and spiked in an annoying preppy style and his clothes were of higher quality than when Harry had last seen him. Though he was still incredibly tall but now also rather chubby.

'Sorry bout that' Harry replied.

"S'alright, but I'll warn you know that it doesn't pay to ignore me. I'll introduce myself but you may have all ready heard of me. I'm Ronald Weasely, son of the Minister of Magic, Prefect, Quidditch captain and generally head of Gryffindor house.'

"A pleasure I'm sure' Harry said sarcastically

'Yes I suspect it is a pleasure for you I am very important you know. By the way this is my girlfriend, Hermione Granger, Head Girl and smartest witch in the school. So if you know what's good for you you'll keep your hands to yourself.' Ron said before starting to stuff his face at a speed that even Dudley in some strange way would be proud of "he looks like a pig on speed" Harry though to his companions, to which he received three snorts of laughter in reply.

'So what's your name?' Hermione asked trying too seem innocent, although Harry could tell she was fishing for something.

"Well I believe that the Headmaster did introduce me in front of the entire school not long ago, so if you weren't paying attention, which would be setting a very poor example for the other students as you are Head Girl then I will say again that my name is Shadow.'

As he said his name the two girls on his sides giggled and Hermione turned a bright red in embarrassment.

"What kind of name is Shadow anyway?' Ron asked,

"It's the one my family gave me," Harry answered back. It was true, Jessica, Dan and Astral were his family now and they had indeed chosen his new name.

'It sounds like a cheap super hero name if you ask me' Ron said.

'Well I'm glad I didn't ask you then Ronald' Harry replied in a seemingly careless tone of voice, although inside he was starting to get annoyed.

Harry turned away and pretending too look impressed at the Great Hall of Hogwarts he surreptitiously looked round.

"The Great Hall, they seriously called this the Great Hall of Hogwarts?" Astral giggled through their minds "What crap!"

"The founders must've been so up themselves when they named this room." Jess said thoughtfully.

'Maybe they were high or drunk? Dan added

"Did they even have drugs in those days?" Astral asked

'I dunno but they must've been on something, I mean they called the school Hogwarts for fucks sake. Where do you come up with the name Hogwarts if you aren't drunk or high" Harry added

"You could be mentally unstable" Jess added helpfully,

'Oh yeah can you imagine the looks on everyone's faces if it turned out that the founders were all actually insane and needed to be committed?' Dan added, snickers could be heard from all four people at the mental image that created.

As Harry looked around the Hall he could see that nothing about the room itself had changed it was the same as ever. Looking at the Head table all the teachers he knew were there and all looked mostly the same, although McGonagall had a few more lines, Madame Pomfrey had gone completely grey, Snape's hair was even greasier if that was at all possible and for some bizarre reason Professor Vector's hair was a bright Purple. He could tell that several of the teachers were trying to get to know his family and he laughed at the looks of consternation on their faces as his family continually changed the subject and talked in circles. A slight smile on his face because of his friend's antics and the conversation currently going on in his head he looked at the students and house tables them selves. He saw that each of the tables seemed to be a bit smaller than he remembered, and there also seemed to be slightly less students, but then he thought to himself that they had obviously been casualties in the war, he regretted the loss of life but realized that there was nothing that could be do to save them now.

Harry suddenly felt two hands on his thighs turning his annoyance at Ron into amusement. Looking out of the corners of his eyes he could see the girls or sluts in his opinion trying to catch his eye by showing off their tits and legs. Suffice to say it wasn't working, although he had no problems with them continuing their current ministrations on his lap. 'Yep 14 months away and Parvati and Lavender are still whores' he thought to himself in amusement.

"You had better not be enjoying that Shadow" Jess said sharply through their link, cutting through the pleasant sensations he was currently feeling.

"While Astral may be politely ignoring you and Dan, I know just exactly what you are doing to him under that table and its got me horny, Parvati's giving and I'm taking so there! I love you and Dan, but is it my fault she can't resist my devilishly handsome good looks?' Harry said cheekily.

"You are a wanker shadow and your ego seriously needs deflating if you think that whore is doing it because of your looks." Jess snapped

Harry sent her the mental equivalent of a put 'you don't like me anymore?'

'Don't worry Harry I still think your hot and so does Jess she's just being prissy' Dan interrupted.

Fortunately dessert arrived and interrupted the conversation before Jess could reply instigating another argument. The appearance of dessert interrupted Ron's eighth helping of food, and Parvati's hand to move onto his cock. As Harry turned to the side to try and avoid looking at Ron seemingly inhale his food at a speed that even Dudley would have been proud of, and Hermione's loving gesture's of wiping his chin he caught sit of one Ginny Weaseley. Ginny was sitting a way away from her brother and his friends quietly talking to several people Harry remembered as sixth and fifth year Gryffindors but that was not what caught his attention, no. Since Harry had last seen her Ginny had definitely changed and for the better. 'She's quite hot actually.' Ginny now had dark red hair with ebony streaks running through it, which hung down to her upper back. Even under her uniform and good quality robes bow similar to Ron Harry could see she had a good body, and her pale feature's seen accentuate the gothic like make up she wore. She was the only student out of everyone Harry had seen that had similar taste to him and his family. 'Yep, very hot'

'I totally agree with you there shadow she's fucking gorgeous' Astral said appreciation lacing her words.

'You don't fancy her too do you Shadow?' Jess asked uncertainly, he could feel Dan's apprehension as well.

'Don't worry guys, while I agree with Astral that she is hot I only want you too so don't worry.' Harry was quick to reassure them both.

'Good I have her all too myself then' Astral almost seemed to lick her lips in appreciation.

'So Harry, you think you should talk to her, I mean we're gonna need friends and allies in the school, plus I think Astral may just like a little bit' Dan said

'You'd better bloody well talk to her Shadow or else I'll hide all the alcohol in our rooms and you wont be able to get drunk this year' Astral threatened

' It seems like the decisions been made for me' Harry replied amused.

' What's up Astral your not normally so, err, forceful. Is she like your bonded or something' Jess asked

' I dunno she may be, but I need to get to know her before I can tell for sure, plus she's hot!' Astral whined

"So shadow" Hermione interrupted his mental conversation in her I'm-oh-so-innocent voice "You know he three new professors?" Ron looked up in interest finally pausing in eating for a miraculous 30 seconds before starting again.

"Hm."

"What are they like?"

"Well I think their pretty cool, but then they've never been my teachers before so--." Harry paused "But I will tell you one thing, don't piss them off cause they can be bloody scary when they want to. Specially Jess, she definitely lives up to the red-head myth"

"Thanks Shadow I feel so loved" Jess said sarcastically, Harry mentally smirked.

"How do you know each other then?"

"I'm afraid that's personal."

"But-"

"No" Harry replied with a mild glare cutting of her question before she began.

There was a small uncomfortable silence at the table, Hermione was looking suspicious, Ron was completely oblivious to all except his apple pie and Parvati was continually trying to catch his eye. Harry decided to try and distract everyone with starting a conversation with Quidditch, but his hope of actually holding a conversation were quickly dashed as Ron miraculously stopped eating only to start delivering a monologue about his brilliant Quidditch skills and how Harry should be really impressed to be talking to a top class player such as him. He boasted how he was sure that he would be playing professionally soon after his graduation, especially with his fathers influence as the Minister. "God he sounds like Malfoy!'

Harry barely resisted rolling his eyes heaven word and instead focussed on the feelings that Parvati's hand was generating. Totally blocking out Ron's voice he came with a quiet groan so as not to attract attention. Grabbing her hand at the wrist her moved her hand away from him and he spared her a glance. She smiles at him seductively and tried to move closer all the will showing off her tits. Harry simply raised and eyebrow at her before turning away shocking hr that she couldn't snag any boy she wanted with a hand job. He could practically feel her frustrations and Harry chuckled to himself.

Thankfully the feast ended before Harry's patience ran out with Ron who was debating whether the team would benefit from him playing keeper, chaser, Beater or Seeker since he was apparently naturally skilled at all positions of Quidditch.

"My dear students. I am so pleased to see you all here for another new term at Hogwarts. Hopefully you are ready to work and learn from your teachers, Christmas isn't that far away you know, so don't despair! Now I must again remind everyone that the forbidden forest is as the name suggests forbidden and Mr filch would like me to tell you all that the list of forbidden items in the school has reached an all time high, with the entire weaseley wizarding wheezes catalogue being added to that list." Here Professor Dumbledore paused as chuckles spread throughout the hall. "

Yes, yes, so far this year there have been no Hogsmeade visits planned yet, but rest assured that when your safety can be assured then you will be allowed to go. The curfew from last year is still in effect as are all our other safety measures. Quidditch will begin again in October and I can't wait. Well now it is getting late so off to bed you all go and I will see you all I the morning. Goodnight.'

With that he stood and led Harry's family out no doubt showing them their suite of rooms in the teachers wing. Harry was forced to head to the common room whilst listening to Ron prattle on to the first years about how great he, Hogwarts, Quidditch and Professor Dumbledore were, and at the same time trying to answer question fro Hermione without arousing her suspicion any further.

By the time he reached the common room however his patience had run out and he was beginning to get pissed with both of them, Ron was an egotistical wanker and Hermione was spying on him he was sure, 'probably for Dumbledore' he thought o the others. Harry went up to the dorm partly to change his pants and partly to escape Ron, Hermione and Parvati. He stayed upstairs until he was sure most of the house had gone to bed and returned to the common room. Sure enough there were a couple of couples making out in the corners who wouldn't pay attention to him, and one Ginny Weasely was sitting in front f the fire reading a book. Harry came up behind her and said softly but still making her jump.

"Hello Ginny."

Important question

Should Harry tell Ginny who he really is or let her keep think of him as Shadow?

You know what I'm gonna say so review plz.
