The Return Of The Marauders Part I: Harry Potter And The Sorceror's Stone
Warnings: This is going to be just after the truth comes out and as they accept Harry's past and move forward finally from what they had built up in their thoughts to believe now. And for this series, the Dursleys change and accept their connection to the wizarding world as they learn the truth, to what really happened to Harry's parents.
Disclaimers: Harry Potter doesn't belong to me, the story belongs to me, everything else belongs to J.K. Rowling and Warner brothers.
Chapter 2: The Letter, Crookshanks And Hedwig
"He's close by right now." I said and they nodded to me, as Hagrid turned around and I saw Quirrell moving passed us to get to the bank. "Here we go, he's about to rob the bank." I said and Dumbledore nodded as I said it to him. "Come on, I got to finish up and we get can get our wands, but I got a few weeks before my birthday." I said and they nodded to me gently as we continued on then as Mione, Draco, Ron, Neville Daphne, Susan Bones, and I went there.
"Harry!" I heard from another person and chuckled as I saw Hannah Abbott, Dean Thomas, Seamus Finnigan, Ernie Macmillian and Justin Flinch Fletchley. "Issues in the sign ups for the D.A. and that's 2/3's of us right now, plus Michael Corner, and some of the Ravenclaws next." I said and Dumbledore nodded. "Anyone else here to get their school supplies, before the semester starts?" he asked and our entire class, aside from Draco's former friends, all nodded.
"Yes headmaster." they all said together and we nodded. "Well remember what I said students, only those on my defense class, being taught by my subordinates, said are your future real teachers. And of said class, can use magic outside of school as the loophole now, but no showing off, is that understood?" he asked and they all nodded to him. "Yes Headmaster, we understand." they and George and Fred's class said together and we nodded.
"Expecting trouble, Headmaster?" Mione asked and he chuckled. "No, then again, it's a case of the only way they can use magic outside of the school is by joining the defense and dueling club we're arranging now." he said and she and I smiled. "And you thought we were bad, it's trying to control what goes on in our class you got to get under control before they break a window next." I said and our parents all started laughing and nodded in agreement to that gently.
"Issues in the junior Order Of The Phoenix, and at any rate you're right son, but we got to get your class under control, before this, in truth here. Turns into the boy that turned into one of the brotherhood mutants while his room-mate turned into the new leader of the team's second in command. Now of the junior members of their team." he said and I nodded. "X-men, he means Iceman, he's the leader of the junior mutants on the team." she said and Ron nodded then.
"The new member took his former rival's place after his girlfriend, the new leader's lover turned into her inner phoenix, she's a class V, the most powerful. Of the mutants in their generation." she said and he nodded in shock to that. "But though he was in love with her, the other leader of the team, a mutant, said that controls the weather, he and she had an on again/off again relationship, but she loved him, for him, not who he was before." I added and they all nodded.
"Are you guys, being here on purpose, you chose the day I'm here, to meet up with us, as you're all trying to be exempt from his class and by learning. And from a real defense expert?" I asked and they all nodded and Hagrid shook his head smiling. "His and Lockhart's classes, so we can learn from a real one, say Professor Snape, Lupin, or Black's mentor?" Seamus said to me and I nodded. "Call him by name, young man." His mother said sternly and he nodded quickly.
"We all know he's innocent and Pettigrew is guilty, but we want to change, we need to let go of the old pureblood dogma now." Cedric said to him sternly and he nodded as he looked down. "My exploits are right there in the books, but I got two tries to stop him, before we got a third time's the charm, and he comes back now. And by that dark arts spell, but this is what the headmaster is talking about, divide and conquer." I said and he nodded as he looked down then.
"We want to survive, we got to work as one now finally, that means setting aside past beliefs, not everything is black and white, it's shades of grey here. In all areas now." Dumbledore said to him gently and he nodded as he got the point then. "I'm leader of the entire junior order, I don't want to hear this stigma or we're never going to get out of the dark ages, Seamus, you're a half-blood, you should read more muggle books now." I said and he nodded softly to me.
"Hey Mr. Finnigan, Mrs. Finnigan, nice to finally meet you Sir." I said and he smiled gently. "You too son, nice to finally meet you in person here, so you're my son's new class mate?" he asked and I nodded to him. "Yeah I am, this is my sister Mione Granger, my best friend Ron Weasley our fourth, Neville Longbottom." I said and he smiled. "Nice to meet you kids." he said and they smiled. "You too Sir." they all said together at that remark gently then.
"Class break, and summer school in two weeks, for the members of our class that want to learn before the term starts." I said and they all nodded to me gently, as we ended it at that, as we headed for the pet shop, and I heard a mew. "That sounds like he's saying Harry, Ron, Mistress, it's me, it's me." Ron said and I nodded as he looked at him, and I crouched and he walked up to me. "Mew, meow mew." he said and I smiled as I ran my hand through his fur.
"How do you know who we are mate?" I asked and he said it. "Meow, meow mew." he said to me and I nodded. "Age me a couple years, like Norris, I was also in range of the door to Professor's wolf's office." Ron read out and we nodded and I aged him a couple years and then smiled at that. "Oh I don't believe it, if he's got his memories, then this means his 2 year old mind is back in his 5 month old body again." I said and she said his name to make sure then.
"Crookshanks?" Mione asked and he gave a mew and I smiled. "Daddy, I found him!" she called out and Dan moved to us. "Buddy, that you boy?" he asked and he mewed a yes to him. "Hey mate, good to have you have back again, but yeah once again back together, but if you saw it. I had a cat looking like you as an adult, when I was her age, he lived to be 15 now." he said and he mewed gently. "Well you get him reincarnated, in me." he said to him with a mew gently.
"Hey boy, good to see you." I said and he mewed at me, as I ran my hand through his fur as she picked him up and we took him to the counter then as she said it. "So this is you as a kitten right now, well I can see you already fully grown mate." I said and he purred at that, and her parents tried to keep from laughing. "Crookshanks, that's the cat?" her mother said and she nodded and I hid a laugh. "We're cat people, but this is magical cat." Dan said and she smiled.
"We'll take him." she said and the shop keeper nodded smiling as we got his travel basket, and some stuff for him then. "Give it three years and he's going to be fully grown like we remember, before we have Pettigrew back on the loose here." I said to her and she nodded to that. "One keen fact is that Half kneazles can sense real animals or animagi, so he's good for something." Ron told us and she nodded in relief. "Meow." he said in response, though the meow then.
It was in younger tone then I remembered as I started laughing at that response and he pushed his forehead into mine gentlt and I smiled. "Yeah I love you too mate." I said to him in response and I ran my hand through his head fur then as he started purring happily then. "Like us, we get a cat and as we age, so do they as we grow old together now." I said to her and she nodded smiling. "We're cat people like your parents here." she said and I nodded to that remark.
"Yeah and my cat is living with my neighbor, but still in range." I said and she nodded. "Mew?" he asked and I chuckled. "He's like you boy, you're if you were normal, would be what we call a Manecoon." I said to him and he gave another mew in response. "Can't bring more then one familiar, so we got you with us, and I bring my owl so mistress can use her to send messages to papa alpha." I said to him and he gave another mew. "Dad?" she said and I nodded to her.
"Ron stay with her, I got to talk to the headmaster." I said and he nodded as he stuck close to her, as Neville and Luna followed me and we and Hannah and Susan went to Dumbledore. "What is it Harry?" he asked and I smiled. "A little surprise for her birthday, but could we set up a class library for normal books, we got school books, but how about recreational reading?" I asked and he smiled. "Now that is a very good idea, every student." he said and I nodded gently.
"Yeah every student in school is going to be, if they're muggle born, be bringing books every pure-blood would want to read, but the back log in waiting lists. I know that's going to get out of hand, and I decide to now might be a good time to duplicate said spell so there is 10 copies pure book in said library now here. So no one is fighting or hexing someone for said book here now." I said and he nodded. "I'll talk to the faculty." he said and I nodded to him smiling then.
"Gran, I think if we had a nice size bookshelf for said reading in our dormitory, that would help as no one is fighting the waiting lists in the student rec library." Neville said and she nodded. "Agreed, I like that idea, and I can get a book-shelf set up for that, and spell to miniaturize said book-shelf, but be careful, when restoring it now." she said and I nodded to her. "Try restoring it, with some of the doors loose, it's asking to spill said books?" I said and she nodded smiling.
"Yes honey, and I'm glad you came back to me." she said and I smiled. "Love you too Nana." I said and she smiled then. "New life, new you, and this is the you, we wanted to know as you're being a normal cub in everything that counts now." she said and I nodded. "I know, but this time, I'm actually acting like a cub in our world rather then just returning, I've been back for more then a month and we're being normal children." I said and she nodded to that remark.
"Listen cubs, we're not having this get out of hand, and watch it with the first flying lesson." she said and I nodded. "As for the bloody dragon, we're having Peeves lead him in a different direction, and we're reporting into her, before we get busted." Neville said to her and she nodded. "Good idea, I don't need a sudden letter in why she found the four of you up in the astronomy tower, as that used to be the courting spot for young couples." she said and I nodded then.
As I covered my eyes. "She thought that Mione and I were..." I said trailing off and she nodded. "No, that wasn't it, we were trying to get a baby dragon out of the school to save his job." I said to her and she nodded to me. "Though I love her, I don't love her like that, she's my best friend and my sister, and that's all there is between us, I love Ginny, she's the one I want to spend my life with." I said to her and she nodded in understanding to that news gently at that.
"To put this gently in my world, that's not this one, but the muggle world, there was a preteen show, of a group of teenage super heroes, the new leader. He was dating the sister of the original leader, that's surrogate to adoptive twin sister." I said and she nodded. "We currently reached the 8 season of said series, but this is after a case of miscommunication and he thought she was cheating on him, till he gets the truth, this season, said so called someone else now."
"Was really her biological paternal half brother of the newest team of the legacy." I said and she nodded sternly. "I call that a very good reason to ask questions, before taking said letter at face value here." she said and I nodded. "That's what every parent thought after it resulted in bringing in a kid no older then us, to save her and the original leader of the team, but from you to our parents, and now to us, what are you thinking." I said and she nodded sternly.
"I'm no older then your grandparents, but our grouping, we would say if you were out of town and she stayed here, or she leaves and you stay now. Is you should take a step and cool things down, and then once which of you came back, you heat it back up again, as your relationship is too strong to let go." she said and I nodded. "Your parents, if they were alive, would say the same, as you do your mission and then come home." she said and I nodded to her advice.
"James would tell you to take a step back and then once back you heat it back up honey." she said and I nodded. "I'm taking your and their advice on that, so step back before I leave if they attack at a wedding, and I'm monitoring through the map to track my friends and the faculty." I said and she nodded. "Nev'?" I asked and he nodded. "You don't have to ask, I'll take care of her, I promise brother." he said and I nodded to him gently at that remark in relief then.
"Were you and Minerva both in Gryffindor?" I asked and she nodded. "Yes in fact I'm her classmate." she said and I nodded. "So class of..." I started to say and she nodded. "Class of 1946." she said and I nodded to her gently at that news. "So dad is no older then 31, if he was alive, you're 20 years prior, and my class and I are 1989, Mione is the youngest of the three of us in birthdays here." I said and she nodded. "In either version." she said and we nodded to her.
"If you mean us and her, then yes." Neville said to her and she nodded. "Getting dates correct here, but something really doesn't make sense, but were you at Hogwarts before he turned into a megalomaniac?" I asked and she nodded. "We were, but we were first years by the time he started his 6th year." she said and I nodded. "So Hagrid would be a couple years older then you." I said and she nodded. "Indeed, that's it exactly." she said and I nodded to the news.
"With having magic in our blood, we got a slower aging span then a normal human in looks we're close to 65 years, but really 71 years old." she said and I nodded. "Thank god I got you for reference now in this in how fast we age to a normal human right now, but there it is now." I said and she nodded. "We just never expected your knack for excelling coming forward on your first flying lesson, and with it, you showing you got an apt for Quidditch as well, as to why."
"I'm one of the members on the school board, so trying to bribe your way onto said team is cause to lose said chance by cheating here." she said and I nodded. "Draco tried that, in the last one, and I still out beat him in the flying it's not who has the faster broom, it's who's more experienced, here in truth. And I've been a seeker for going on three years." I said and she nodded. "Youngest seeker in a century." she said and I nodded to her gently at that.
"Yep 11, and already I show an aptitude for it, though I never been on a broom that changed as I tested out my own genes in flying and she was amazed." I said and she nodded. "She's not the only one, after she told me this, I told her I was granting an exception in the no brooms under 2nd years here." she said and I nodded. "I'm making a donation to the school for a few sets of new brooms so we don't lose another one." I said and she nodded to me gently.
"I also made an alteration, so the muggle-born, got it at 3/4's cut in prices here of said tuition, and the death eaters are paying full price for school here." I said and she smiled sternly. "Well that should get the point across this school is not catering to the super rich and treating muggles like they're rubbish anymore." she said and I nodded to that. "Or at least till they all transfer to Durmstrang." I said and she smiled sternly at that news gently then gently.
"I heard that Harry, but if that doesn't get my ex peer's students out of this school so we can protect you more easily, nothing ever will." I heard and hid a smile as I saw Professor Severus Snape and next to him was Professor Minerva McGonagall then and I nodded. "Uncle Severus, hey Nana, here on school business?" I asked and she nodded. "We got it already, here you go, Professor." I said and passed them the stone, and she pocketed it then gently.
"I switched pouches just as he was heading for the bank, so we caught him in the act, and the other is still in the vault, and covered in my blood, so it'll work." I said and she nodded. "Never sees it coming that the leader of the teenage version of his opposition outsmarts them, that's brilliant." she said smiling and I nodded. "Stunning intellect in the face of evil, but there we go." I said and she nodded to me gently at that remark then as I looked at her smiling.
"Just getting our school supplies, before we start summer training to prevent the capture of that stone, but we can substitute the devils snare here now. And for something else, but otherwise we're going to be able to get them all correct, but I'm slowing him down even further by marking the door and trap door. Hatches in my blood." I said and she and Severus shook their heads smiling. "Yes that works too." he said to me and I nodded as she smiled sternly at that.
"Or in this case, it's the act of he never sees it coming that his opposition has their memories of the last two confrontations with him here but if anything. And I'm being honest, I'm actually what the said chosen one would be like if he stayed good and not let said power lust go right to his head here." I said and she nodded to me. "Would that be the movie series focused on our counterparts with the lasers for swords?" she asked and I nodded to her and she smiled.
"Yeah, it is, Fridays we can have a movie break and we got a few that a normal pure-blood would find interesting, but the kid's version to scary movies now. I chose several that won't scare said purebloods into a heart attack for that Halloween, but switching out said troll movie for a preteen version now. And of our world's biggest movie monster gone thrice." I said and she nodded. "The tosser with knives for fingers." Severus said and I nodded to him gently at that.
"Your first Halloween back in our world resulted in a troll getting in, but if that's not irony, then nothing is." she said smiling and I nodded. "Well back to back is plenty for that, but the previous Friday can be used as a case of what Riddle is attempting to try to bring himself back, as he has only one chance to do it. And said is similar to what is shown in this movie, as the leader of a coven of witches used a spell similar to the stone to make them live forever here now."
"These witches are into demonology, but that spell book she owns was given to her by the beast himself." I said to him and he nodded. "Muggle term for Satan, Minerva." he said and she nodded. "They got some of this stuff pretty close to the truth, but there were two troll movies here now, one with a wizard who, after a war between humans and trolls got turned into a troll himself, and he wanted revenge and was waiting till a family with my surname now."
"Moved into the building he was hiding in, took the appearance of the head of the cast's sister, and now the kid himself knows he's masquerading as his sister." I said and she nodded. "The other is a ancient troll who, after being buried by the town chaplain, who's descendant was a teenager now in the body of an adult here. Used him as a way to get out of the tree he was locked up under, and started turning said main character's preteen friends into wooden dolls."
"To give him his power it took the kids to find out the weakness for this thing, but the movie is good till the final confrontation between him and said troll." I said and she nodded. "I've got to see some of this, before we have you showing these to the other students who are purebloods." she said and I nodded. "Well till then we got work to do, as we train to get through said obstacle course without a scratch this time." I said and she nodded in agreement to that gently.
"Some of these movies mark from G to PG-13, which is where an adult needs to accompany said cub to the movie as some is not quite appropriate for kids. It's after it leaves PG-13 to the next one up, is where you need to cover their eyes, reason being is there is a severe case of profanity gore and sexual contact in these movies." I said and she nodded. "Save that one for when you're outside of the school, we keep to the first 3." Aggie said to me and I nodded gently.
"Done, Mione and I can get some so you see this as appropriate viewing right now, and make up a list for it, but I got an idea in how to have her enjoy it. That's her first year, and we get some books into the school said are old classics created back in the Civil war to now." I said and she nodded. "To us we don't get many chances to enjoy a nice break from tv, and we curl up with a good book, so said books a recreational reading now." I said and the trio nodded then.
"Right her birthday is a week after the term starts, so everyone in your new gang are planning this as a surprise for her now?" Severus said to me and I nodded. "Yeah, we got also got the cat now as well." I said and he shook his head. "Mew!" he heard and chuckled and I looked down to see Crookshanks standing there, with his paw on his foot. "Crookshanks, what are you doing over here, you get out of your basket?" I asked and he gave me a second mew.
"That's Crookshanks?" she said in shock and I nodded. "Hey mate, nice to see you." Severus said to him and he gave a mew to him in response. "Little ball of fur you." I said to the cat and he gave a mewing chuckle to that. "Issues in this family, it's case of controlling my cat and her's before we have broken glass all over the place from football games between him and Tibbles as he gets older." I said and she nodded with a chuckle at that remark as I said it to the cat.
"We got a few weeks buster, before the term starts, so we're not having you running loose all over the school, you're staying in the dorms when we're in class." I said and he gave a mew to me in response then. "I'd like to know how he's supposed to get into the school the same way Sirius did right now, without us raising the alarm right now?" Neville asked and they all nodded. "I'm not sure, but we're locking up every mouse hole." she said and and I nodded to that.
"Well summer training just took on a whole new meaning and with it, being prepared, as you're the expert in herbology." I said to him and he nodded. "That one was my expertise, Mione has the keys, Ron the chess set, you and she could possibly match in his potions riddle, but the final confrontation. Said is down to you, as we don't have your added protection spell." he said and I nodded in agreement to that remark then as we exchanged looks then gently at that.
"That or mum's knowing what was needed, but I'm not falling for that talk of only power, he's power lust driven." I said and she and Severus nodded. "Like I said, this tosser went as bad as you can go, Harry, be careful, you have everything you need, but I'm leading him into exposing himself, but all of you. You're good on your own, but together, you're unstoppable now." Hagrid said to me and I nodded to that gently at that remark then as we looked at him.
"You're part of the order yourself Hagrid, but there it is, we changed the past to make a better future, but we had 2.5 years knowing what was coming now. As the rest is up in the air, so need to plan it out, and take it slow, but the first semester is where we have only one instance of trouble, here now right now. Before my first match of the season results in another close call, but I caught it twice, and then blow the catch." I said and they nodded to me gently at that.
"And that's thanks to the dementors coming on the pitch, though he said to stay clear, you're lucky to be alive, as that was 150 foot fall." she said sternly and I nodded sternly. "Well my broom sacrificed itself for a good cause, by getting an even faster broom right now, so I can out fly a dragon." I said to her and she nodded. "Good point, but I'm replacing that broom as that was 10 years worth of birthday and Christmas gifts from me." she said and I nodded smiling to her.
"I had a life with you, but I can bend the rules now finally, with being head of the Junior Order now, but the rules are stated quite clearly, that magic. Now, can be used in life threatening situations, case in point is having two dementors coming into a rural town, and I've got to save Dudley and me from said." I said and she nodded. "And we know you're not even in the house when Dobby shows up, or when this sister of Vernon's shows up." she said and I nodded to that.
"What's left on the shopping list?" Severus asked me and I checked it. "My wand, my trunk and the potions supplies." I said and they nodded, before we heard a hoot and a snowy landed on my shoulder. "Hey Hedwig." I said to her and she rubbed her head against my cheek, and Hagrid chuckled. "There we go, early birthday present." he said and I nodded smiling. "Alright come on girl, I'm going to buy you now, while he finishes up." he said to her and she gave a hoot.
As we headed for Ollivander's wand shop and I went in. "Mr. Ollivander?" I said and he came down off the ladder he was standing. "I've been wondering when I would be seeing you Mr. Potter." he said and I nodded. "Could I take a look at the holly with a phoenix tail?" I asked him and he nodded as he took it and passed it to me, and I felt a massive power blast shoot through me as I swung it around a rainbow of lights shot out of it, and I knew it was perfect match.
"Curious, very curious." he said and I nodded. "Sorry, but what's curious." I said to him and he said it gently. "I remember every wand I ever sold Mr. Potter, it just so happens that the phoenix, who's tail feather resides in your wand gave another feather. Just one other, it is curious that you be destined for this wand, when it's brother gave you that scar." he told me and I nodded. "Before said name gets reprimanded, call him Tom Riddle." I said and he nodded to me then.
"I already exposed the truth of who and what he is, but unlike him, I'm not a megalomaniac." I said to him and he nodded. "We can expect great things from you Mr. Potter, as after all, Tom Riddle did great things, terrible yes, but great." he said and I nodded, as I bought a wand holster and then paid him the 15 galleons as I wrapped the belt around my waist and then put my wand in my holster then as I moved to Dumbledore as I said it to him then.
"Same match, he was in shock I was destined for my original wand, when the twin of it was the one that killed my parents." I said and he nodded. "I get why, but the reverse spell effect is going to lead to an added side effect as it does the last kills his wand did in reverse order later." he told me and I nodded. "Fawkes should have given more then one feather here, so we don't have it being equaled out." I said and he nodded in understanding to that remark then.
"Well you're like the apprentice to my previous star pupil, your father being said, but he hates the dark arts with a passion, Harry." he said and I nodded. "As do I headmaster, he asks me to join him, my answer is on my belt." I said to him and he nodded. "You're my star pupil, you always were, but I love you, I always did son, you're my favorite student and like a grandson to me." he said and I nodded. "Love you too Sir." I said and he smiled at me gently at that.
"Is Remus working at the school now?" I asked and he nodded to me. "Andromeda is doing it in year three for History Of Magic, and he's got Defense, so we got both him and Severus monitoring things. But he's teaching you extended in the Patronus charm, to your protect yourself as the former friends of Draco try to sabotage you here." he said to me and I nodded. "I'm taking the tunnels to get into Hogsmeade." I said to him and he nodded to me gently at that news.
