The Return Of The Marauders Part I: Harry Potter And The Sorceror's Stone

Warnings: From here on and forward, Harry's title for Sirius changes, as he becomes his father, as the years they spent together now change things now. As he and Harry start acting like father and son, as year 5 changes things further as he's now acting like a real father here. To him as he and Harry developed a bond that would take his place with James as the years go by now.

Disclaimers: Harry Potter doesn't belong to me, the story belongs to me, everything else belongs to J.K. Rowling and Warner brothers.

Chapter 20: Final Changes And Summer School IV

"You are children, we're adults, we're your teachers and parents, your mentors, we love you, we're trying to protect you. You will listen and do everything we tell you to, regarding rules, in our wording it's our way or the high way. But you refuse it's detention or worse, expulsion for you, in school, but home, you're facing being put on restriction. Harry has orders, he follows them, those orders say stay in the castle, and rest." she said sternly and they started shaking.

"Maggie, the movie was made in the time when the merck manual was created right?" I asked and she nodded. "So wouldn't you be able to look up the symptoms of why he's this exhausted after physical therapy?" Sarah asked and she sighed. "My character never thought to do that baby, honey, in which case, with playing your head of house. Getting a copy of that book, I know exactly what I'm looking at here, if he's beyond exhausted." she said and we both nodded then.

"But like I said, some of these spells are more draining then others, that this one has your brother so worn out, I know what I'm looking at. After Rosemerta's double gives Cornelius's the warning swing with the hammer." she said and I started laughing. "And to repeat this, business in the village would be a lot better if we didn't have those bloody things coming into the tavern. Every other night to check, as Carol blocks the passage." Rufus said with a bemused smile.

"The one into Honeydukes." I said and she nodded. "And again, you all better ask for a bigger allowance to buy more chocolate with those things running loose on campus." Amelia added and they all nodded to the orders. "Though what I will say with said retraction, after the tournament, another quiet year won't kill anyone here, we just need some peace and quiet. As you already got rid of the horcrux inside you right now." she said and I need in agreement to her opinion.

"Nice analysis, that's indeed how we see it, these spells in protection detail, some are more draining then others, this one really wears you out." Poppy said gently in response and she nodded to that. "And when I'm not here, I left you looking after him, till I get back from London right now, after reporting into Amelia and Barty. But it's just a few hours to a day or 2, being gone, while back then it took 3 days to get back." Gary said in response then and she nodded.

"Uh oh." the Phelps twins said and she nodded in agreement gently to that opinion. "Exactly, but that's a few days, you're under my care all year, being your head of house. It's my position was like my other character, remember cubs, mother lion, your parents leave me. Just to look after and take care of you and that is what I intend to do now, which is what Alan. And Severus meant, that were they in Slytherin and their fates rested with him, it's expulsion for said stunt."

"In my case it's a warning and a letter home, but you're afraid of your mother, Julie, I knew that Julie hears this, she's going to kill him vocally after she said you borrowed the car. But this was no rescue mission, this, now, was illegal, where is his common sense right now. You had the foresight to do it at night, your brother did it at high noon, and get seen while doing it." she said and the quartet crossed their arms as Ron paled, realized his attempting this screwed him over.

"But no one is hijacking that car to go joyriding a second time, as you understand and understood this, but year two was another mystery to why we got the chamber unlocked. But reading this out, a house elf shows up at a muggle residence, the platform portal is sealed. And now the car passes out just as they get here and crashes into the most dangerous tree here. On campus, so the leader of the Death Eaters don't want him here right now to purge muggles."

"While year 3, and I can take him, as my character to your house Gary, but the year is basically saying after Gary left for work, and Mark is taking him to the station. And Harry knows this, after said warning on the bloody dementors now, he knows how dangerous this is. So a fast exchange after 2 close calls, and then the reveal comes out, he, like we all decide the same. Said same is better to stay inside right now, with those thing at every entrance in the school."

"In which we know how emotionally draining it is to get the truth, to know the man that betrayed your parents escaped. And this means to us, he's ready to kill him, himself, but what's worse, as the pain starts coming out now on this. Is that all this time, it was because of said traitor, he lost his chance to grow up like you." she said and they nodded gently. "But honestly, the troll is something I have not forgotten and my reaction over it right now in truth here."

"Is still there right now as this was our direct opinion and we can't believe you did that either, but 'be that as it may...it was an extremely foolish thing to do. I would have expected more rational behaviour on your part, Ms. Granger. 5 points will be taken from Gryffindor for your serious lack of judgment, as for you two gentlemen. I just hope you realize how fortunate you are, not many students could take on a full grown mountain troll and live to tell the tale."

"So 5 points...will be awarded to each of you, for sheer dumb luck.'." she said and hearing the remark again I looked at Ron. "And to say this again, we may have not have needed to save her if you never insulted her, she just wants to be seen as an equal. You, at times, are as bad as the Slytherins are for you acting like a snobby pureblood." I said and she nodded in agreement. "But I'm not lying to her this time, you caused us to end up in harm's way, if you been more patient."

"Then she never would have ended up in that bathroom, and be attacked." I said and he swallowed hard at that. "But that, the car, it was your idea with the potion, don't you think you should ease back, because her remark of why is it every time something happens. It keeps landing us in the middle of it, and she's getting beyond aggravated." I said to this firmly. "Yes indeed, but after this, the potion, the car and his previous games, I've had enough of this now."

"Now Heydon may have been a more arrogant little boy, till Katie arrived, but really how do I know what you kids are up to, is not the reason for why. And after he passes out directly after getting into close contact with the dementor in the game and we put him in bed?" she asked and Percy covered his eyes then. "He could be so exhausted from training, that he collapsed right off the broom, and the dementors are not helping matters." Sean said and Chris nodded sternly.

"Yes that or why are his legs so swollen, that it's clear he's been going non stop, so what his father and I decide is not up for debate right now. To repeat that, if these two are trying to talk you into trying that, despite what they think. You are still in my care, your father trusts me to take care of you and that is precisely what I intend to do. My young cub is recovering from repeated trainings in that spell, that though 13, I still see him as he right now, 10 going on 11."

"Our bond is a big thing, we're beyond close, but adopted grandma." she said and I smiled and she chuckled. "Alright time for a break, but I can tell her, you need a nap, so instead of class it's bedtime for you right now, because you're over stretching those muscles. You need a break cub, so naptime." Dave said to Daniel, and I suddenly heard a sighing growl come out of me in response. "Yes cub, so naptime, dorms." he said with a bemused smile to that response then.

"Indeed, it's naptime for you cub, bedroom." she said and he looked at her. "But Cub not tired, don't want a nap." he said in response and she shook her head. "Look baby we're not arguing over this, you're exhausted, so bedtime for you right now." she said, and Minerva stroked a hand through my hair and I smiled at her. "Are we going to hear that line from you young man, you're 13 and you sound like a 4 year old not wanting a nap." Remus said and I looked down.

"Just don't want to be stuck in bed all day, I'm taking 11 courses along with the patronus training." I told him and he nodded to me. "We realize that, but all the work is now draining you into exhaustion, you need a break to rest. But mentally you're recovering from a torn ligament that was just healed, and trying to over do it. Is taxing your strength here, how soon before you attempt this and repel them all, only that drains every drop and you can barely walk here."

"What's our next consideration if you're outside, and it's freezing out with those things around?" Poppy said and she finished that remark. "I think said muggle way to handle traumatizing memories or just dreams, is suddenly working a little too well. That we got to take charge here, before you drive yourself into exhaustion at this rate right now, baby." Minerva said gently then and Poppy nodded in agreement to her opinion at that as they and Severus exchanged looks.

"We got an 16 year old trapped in a near 13 year old body, one trying to insure those things never land him in the hospital, but this keeps up. And it doesn't matter we're trying to get your strength worked up enough to more then 10, at this rate. You're going to collapse out of mental muscle fatigue right now, you need a break to rest. This is pretending to be a normal year, like before you started school, you should be enjoying the term without all the stress here."

"Not be working those muscles till you collapse out of exhaustion." she said and Minerva and Severus nodded in gentle agreement then as he said it to me then gently. "Yeah that or a spinal injury one that had you in physical therapy for over a month here. As you're learning to walk again, mentally you, in training, are a paraplegic, stretching those legs for now. But trying to walk is completely different to trying to run and you been stuck in that chair so long right now."

"Those muscles are starting to constrict, that you need to let your legs rest and take a break for a few days, before you try again and with that." Severus said and she finished it. "You're working your mental leg muscles far too much, you need to rest, and before you pull one. So it's early bedtime for you tonight." Minerva said gently to me. "Don't give me that line and I'm glad I never taught you that or your inner lion cub will try to sneak out of the dorms or infirmary."

"Till one of the next age group down from me has to catch you, but stiff muscles slow you down, as for this. Well that word took on a whole new meaning, instead of godfather, it's adoptive father, but you may not have known your parents. You knew enough in as much as we talk about them, but knowing you're my prize pupil in truth here. It's a constant case of who started it this time, or what happened now, if the racket gets me in there." Maggie said and I nodded.

"Said party for one, and this nearly destroys their friendship, while Ginny and I are staying out of it, but this is like Josh not wanting to end up in the middle. After Derek read what was in Kate's diary, but invasion of privacy, you trying to get killed. Would I read her diary, knowing I do, she's going to hex me 3 ways to Sunday right now?" I asked and she nodded with a chuckle. "Do that and I will Harry, after my last diary nearly killed us both." Ginny said in response then.

"We're not allowed in your dorms anyway, so your diary and secrets are safe love, I know better, but year 3 we're wrapped up in each other. But only Percy has the right to decide if this is going to fast, him and our parents, but the fact he's not saying anything. He's perfectly happy just to watch us together, but not your love life…." I said and Maggie nodded gently. "Point made indeed, but if it's not your love life, then stay out of it." she said and Chris hid a chuckle then.

"Well the catch of leaving the passwords just lying around, we know that Peter is the traitor, and the cat won't listen to him, so Matthew bait and switch, with the said knight. And his multitude of passwords, you're not in trouble right now, we're setting a trap for Tim here now. And we're incorporating locks on those doors, so he triggers the lock it wakes up the entire castle. But waking up in the middle of the night with him in the dorms is an adrenaline surge now."

"The effects, once you see me trying to over work that charm, you know it's like trying to recover from paraplegia, over working my magical legs till you call I need a month long break. And can start again before the first game of the next semester, but month long rest in your eyes, till I'm ready to try again, and being a normal year. But said normal year matches what you put in the movie between these two." I said and she and Alan nodded sternly at that news.

"Well what worries me is that trying to boost your energy by repeated training with a boggart is quickly draining your reserves now, you need to rest, not be outdoors right now, in my eyes. It's like I said as Mrs. Medlock, but the quartet have no understanding how draining that charm is. Or why you keep collapsing every time you get near the bloody things and does the troll, in truth, ring any bells, it's that child, she's created absolute havoc here, I've tried to control her."

"She must be sent away for a few hours, to a few weeks, in this case, a month long separation maybe in order right now. Yes indeed, just to give you some breathing room right now, she and you need immediate separation, that if I have to send for Tom and Mark. Well then so be right now, as instead of the last week, they get sent home a week early, a month long will work." She said and Mione and Ron paled, realizing in Minerva and Severus's eyes how serious this was.

"Marge?" I said quickly and Richard covered his eyes. "Right, I'm telling you to pack up, and head for your father's, you're leaving a week early, son." Vernon said and I nodded gently. "Nice thinking, so said alteration, before she provokes you enough to cause that, I'm at work. And you send Hedwig to me, to tell me, you're heading for our house a week earlier then. What's seen is an excuse to end things a week sooner then normal, Diagon Alley, is your protection detail."

"And you're keeping busy till I get off work with a bunch of adults watching you." Sirius said and Minerva nodded in agreement to my thinking and his. "And Malfalda, that was a loss of temper, she pushed him into exploding, so he's getting off with a warning, and only that." Amelia said sternly and she nodded quickly to her and Fudge's decision. "So with that, Harry?" Fiona said sternly and he shook his head. "Better pack up." he said and Daniel nodded to the orders then.

"Indeed right now and son want to explain to me what was about?" Gary said as he came after seeing broken glass over the table and he relaxed. "She insulted his parents, but you chose the perfect moment to get here Sirius, you better leave a week early, before this gets worse." Richard said and he nodded as they ended it at that. "Alright, so with that in mind, the pre holiday break and turning them in for annoying you." Alfonso said and she and Daniel nodded.

"Grandma, I don't know what the deal is, but ever since I started taking those classes, she's been hounding me. Am I sticking these classes out, maybe you should remove one from you schedule. Harry, I just think you should lessen your load, I've been hearing this all term." Daniel said and she crossed her arms. "Arithmacy and Ancient Runes, she's hassling you because you chose 4 of the extended classes, she's doing all 6 of them, that's including Ancient Studies."

"But between these courses currently, Charity decided to sabotage the Muggle Studies class till she admits it right, but this behavior now. In our eyes is of three things, and I never gave you a time turner, you never needed one, being the best in your class in 6 classes. Sybil told me how were able to actively define that tea leave image, and with you always at Hagrid's. I guess you decided on hippogriff flight training?" she said and he nodded. "I did it." he said and she nodded.

"He belongs to you?" she said smiling and he nodded. "Yeah I tamed him right now, I'm finishing that class, but Muggle studies, I think that's a magic version. And to what we call home ec, it teaches you how to cook, sew, manage what we call budget and raise children. Since we updated the class, every wizard taking that class is enjoying learning about muggles. As for Ancient Runes and Arithmancy, I'm enjoying it alot Percy was right, the subjects are great."

"It's not the work load, I can keep up right now easily, when Uncle Remus is dealing with his phasing, dad is taking me through patronus training, but repeated practicing after. Since he broke in during Halloween, it's draining my reserves, but combining that now. With the temperature dropping below zero that night after they got too close now. If Madam Pomphrey never told you this first, I think I caught something that night." he said and she nodded gently.

"Ben said and told me the same thing, he also said your dreams flashbacked to the chamber." she said and he nodded. "First nearly losing Ginny and now I keep hearing mum, do they not realize what this is. Until Percy revealed that truth, I never realized he was still alive, but not a we, it's a me, this was always personal, if we don't do this now. Then we won't before Ron gets me out of the castle and I hear said conversation in your words." he said and she nodded then.

"I'm considering taking back her time turner, she's taking one too many classes right now, but prevention over cure is necessary right now. But your keeping in mind we don't want you leaving the castle is enough." she said and he nodded. "Angel said there is a few rotten boards in the bridge that need to exchanged, and she checked the water temperature. It's below freezing, so no, after I just gotten over my cold, not going out." he said and she nodded then gently then.

"Indeed, you just got over said cold why make it worse with it changing into pneumonia, you need to stay warm and indoors, till we're sure." she said gently and the duo paled, never realizing I came down with a cold, and why the twins passed me the map. To keep me from making said recovery from turning into a relapse and turning into pneumonia next. "I'm not dropping anything, I chose these classes I stick it out." Daniel said and she smiled proudly then.

"Well you can remove Divination, Astronomy and History of Magic in year 6, so your schedule is more loose right now. But these free periods are actually for study and as the work load is more intense." she said and Daniel nodded. "The other thing is about Ginny, Ron is trying to find anyway he can to get me out of the castle. But I don't want to leave the safety of the walls, I want to be with Ginny right now, she needs me, I need her, besides I have to train right now."

"You never wanted me unprepared if I walk right into Peter, I need to train, I also need to boost my energy for my patronus," Daniel said and she nodded. "I understand, the boys, Filius, Hagrid, Alexandra, Andy and I all do, we treat this like a normal year. A quiet year, as you train and enjoy time to be me, not we, don't worry, I'll handle this. Rolanda turned the come and go room into a pool, why not get the twins and Ginny and go swimming." she said and he nodded.

As he sighed as he said it to her. "It's just this is harder then it was two years ago, I try to pull away for some freedom. Freedom and breathing room, the more they want to hang on, first to have a steady girlfriend. I got my wish, being seen as I everything I would be if my parents were still alive, that if Percy never tells you. Well then the girls, Oliver and the twins would have, I need to focus and concentrate, I can't do that if this keeps up." he said and she nodded gently.

"This is the big one, our first win in the championships since Charlie left, just a normal year, I can focus finally on the game rather then constant adventures. We're so close, but I need to focus, I should focus on my patronus training and my team training. Then be aggravated by these fights, she's letting the cat walk loose, but he's refusing to lock the bloody cage. Cats chase mice and rats, we all know that, so why make it easier." Daniel said and she nodded.

"Meow!" they heard in response and he smiled as another cat looking like Crookshanks as an adult jumped on her desk then gently at that. "Are you trying to force him to lock up good Scabbers, before you and Shadow get the wrong rat?" she asked and he gave a mew in a 'Yes Mam' tone and Daniel nodded as he said it gently to her then. "And was it really necessary for me to see you chasing him around the floor I was on, before you chased him downstairs."

"As I know they would hear me as I catch him and send you to your carry basket, till we get on the train." Daniel added and he gave a gentle mew. "I guess you can consider that knowing we arrived to let you know Master and Mistress are downstairs, Kitten." he said and she hid a chuckle at that remark as he gave his response to her. "Kitten, knowing what I'm doing, is staying out of Master and Mistress's fights over me, like big kitten from Master's family said."

"But currently this fight over me and Scabbers 2, is actually making a better distraction, though with bad Scabbers on the loose, good doesn't realize his double is a bad cat. Trying to kidnap kitten and why I keep mistaking him for bad Scabbers now at the moment. That the fighting between master and mistress is wearing thin on big kittens right now. Finally deciding on the forward approach, every time they get caught up in a fight Kitten grabs Master's sister kitten."

"And for alone time, while Professor Wolf and big kitten are watching from tall recliner at egg shaped field in broom flight." he explained and she nodded gently. "With Ginny here in addition to the guys, he's gone big brother now, but he's changed so quickly from the him Ron thought. Into acting like Charlie, before he left for Romania." I said and she smiled gently. "And there's the key fact, the him that once was, is no more, you and he, I see you with him right now."

"Like he's Cedric, another big brother right now, but his just revealing the truth to us, I never seen a faster transformation now. That Percy took on being the responsible big brother seriously and since he revealed to us he knew what Dumbledore intended. But in one year, he's gone from slightly haughty to very kind and courageous, 3 years and he gets both badges at once." she said smiling tenderly and Percy smiled at the compliment then as they went over it then.

"Dad got me a Firebolt, but though my Nimbus's gone, it's alright, that can be replaced, but this just underlined that fact. Uncle Remus just explained to me in why these things have such an effect on me, it's both encounters with 'him' at once. Plus seeing Uncle Severus holding mum, after Riddle killed her, my training is doing fine in boosting it, but 3 go's a class. My reserves are draining, so like Papa Wolf, I need to rest, before the second semester starts at the moment."

"In truth now, is every time I get near those things, I keep hearing mum's scream as Riddle kills her, and the sole cause has been with Ron all this time. Percy is ready, if you don't deal with this, to owl their parents himself, as he's reached his wits end. Even Jeff is ready to call this in at the moment, emotionally wracked up, I need time, and space." Daniel said and she nodded. "Indeed, before you learn this by accident, your mother was pregnant again at the time now."

"Second trimester, you saw me from time to time, as her side of the bedroom was being created, you knew this in colors. That blue meant you, a boy and then realized it, pink meant girl and her things were pink, plus the tiny tea set, that was for her." she said and he nodded sternly. "So not only did he sell us out, he just aborted my unborn sister by the buzzard killing my mother?" he said and she nodded. "Indeed and language." she said and he nodded gently.

"It got worse, but the first close call, with Peter on the loose, after Marge insulted my parents, I decided I was heading for London and to get to dad's house, saw the Grim. In physical form and he looks like a rabid dog, and barely missing getting hit by the knight bus. The second was during the game, his form appeared in the clouds, looking up what it was. I realized what it could mean is he's close to returning, though I destroyed 4, as for Peter himself right now."

"Don't worry, now that I know, until I'm ready to handle dealing with him, on my own terms, I'm staying inside the castle. But this is none of their business, it's a me, not a we, just like Bella and Barty's situation with Neville, that's also a me, rather then a we. We both need breathing room and peace and quiet for a few weeks, but the 5 to 8 years. They're saying this to you through me, they all had enough of the arguing over Crookshanks, her trying to badger me."

"And on my grades or dad's more dangerous form, me wanting to spend some time alone with Ginny, or trying to get me out of the Castle. The referendum was issued, to get their parents here, before the end of the semester, so a month off of each other. Said won't kill us, but the twins in total honesty are preparing to create the joke shop, but just their intellect in potions. That's going to make a killing, before we have a constant case of 'who is the prankster here'."

"Troublemaker maybe, but dad and the trio, both versions, creating that map was good for something here, in the case of Pettigrew, so a security detail catch. So that if he's inside the castle, then my entire current house in the youngest cubs is elsewhere. So to me, so he gets into the castle, just be in another area of it." he said and she nodded with a chuckle at that. "Yes indeed, but don't worry I'll handle this, what else exactly." she asked and he sighed gently then.

"Asking point blank, why is he being so rude to her over my spending time with her, the exchange turn into this now: 'Why are you two so mean to her?, she can try my Firebolt if she wants to, she's a really good flyer. 'You can't be so nice to her, we'll never get rid of her if you keep being nice to her.' 'Get rid of her? I don't want to get rid of her, she's a friend of mine. Why are you the only one allowed to be my friend? Why is it that we saved Hermione from a Troll.'."

"And our friendship got stronger, but I save Ginny from 'him' and I'm not allowed to talk to her?' 'No, It's not like that. It's just Ginny is annoying. If you are nice to her she'll follow us around and think she can hang out with us. She's too young to be friends with us. What happens if we run into another adventure – are we supposed to let her come? My mum would kill me. No, she's annoying, she's too young, and she talks too much about stupid things, not to mention.'."

"Now, the fact that she has that stupid crush on you, if you keep talking to her she's going to think that you like her.' 'Ron, be nice!, Harry, he does have a point. If Ginny thinks she's your friend, she won't make friends with people her own age. She needs to make up for last year and make friends with her roommates. She is rather young – she's almost two years younger than me.' Before I slammed them with the wham line right now, it's not too young or said crush."

"Maybe I'm too young, I'm only a year older than her. She didn't do anything wrong other than trust the wrong person – that can happen to anyone. I don't know why you two are so mean to her, Ginny is my imprint and she can hang out with me any time she wants. She's gotten over her crush and we're soulmates now, why is that such a problem. Should I do the same with the twins, Percy and the quartet, and they both paled?" he said and she nodded sternly at the news.

"Wait a minute, just Ginny, why not the twins and Percy as well here too unless…., Albus, yes alright thank you for alerting me to that. After we all said no repeatedly, he's saying this to you through the duo." she said and Daniel nodded in fury. "What's the control curse again, because that's illegal?" he asked and she crossed her arms. "The imperio, they been imperiused and had compulsion charms put on them, so a good separation for a month is in order right now, Harry."

"Your father said he's taking you to Headland for Christmas this year." she said and he nodded smiling. "Yeah he is right now, but the headmaster says that's not a good idea, before Kingsley said it's not up to him, and the look on his face was furious." he said and she nodded. "Looks like he was hoping you over heard our conversation, and decided to go in half cocked. But no, you're thinking straight, I'll handle this." she said and he nodded as she patted his shoulder.

As they ended that conversation. "Alright you two, that's enough of this already, Harry's aura for divination underlined grave danger, and you're mocking him by that. Young lady, is this about not wanting him to over tax himself or is this you want to protect your secret. Or…, Albus, damn you, alright that's enough of this already, we got the aurors here, you're facing arrest. And for interference in a betrothal for a scion of a wizard noble, but that's enough of this already now."

"Severus, Severus, if you're in your office, we need to talk." she said and Alan came into the room with Dave and Gary right behind him then. "What's wrong, Minerva?" he asked her and she crossed her arms. "Seems we got a two fold problem here, regarding the duo, 1) being Hermione is hounding Harry about his taking the very same 2 advanced classes she is. And the other is over Ginevra, Ronald is trying to find anyway he can to get Harry out of the castle."

"But after his collapse from my version of his broom after they attacked him…." she said and he nodded. "Indeed I'm still waiting for that exposure to indicate he caught pneumonia during the game." he told her and she crossed her arms. "He told me he caught a cold from the game, and he just got over it, he also said Angelina said there's a few rotten boards in the bridge. And the river is below freezing." she said and he nodded sternly at the news as the duo also nodded.

"It was after I recovered enough from my latest cycle now, I felt something changed in Harry's scent, realizing he came down with a cold and told him to stay indoors to stay warm. I been watching for the last month to make sure that exposure doesn't change into pneumonia." Dave said and she nodded. "I think Albus, hoping he decides to sneak out, never catches the boards are broken and falls into the river, giving ample reason to stay." she said and Alan nodded then.

"She's not wrong, the how in how she learned is she and Spinnett were heading for the village, it crumpled on her and I caught her. Before she fell in feet first, the water is 25 degrees below zero as they both scared me out of my wits, as the river is below freezing. And there's 10 rotted pieces of plywood in the bridge, now is not the time, school lets out next weekend. But if you're thinking what I am, we send them home a week early, giving Harry some room, to be himself."

"But despite repeated warnings they will not leave it be, if anything she's like Miss Lennox, over her cousin and we, Poppy, Ben and Jeffrey have to take charge." he said and she nodded. "Yes and you changed so quickly, that though head of Slytherin, the parent in you has grown strong." she said and he nodded smiling. "The kids grew so attached now that when off duty they're all calling me by name in the way Harry does, but that near dunk just scared me out of my wits."

"Playing during a thunderstorm is dangerous enough already, he just got over that cold, and during potions he's practically on top of the cauldron itself to stay warm. During the cold healing potion, after bottling one dose for me to grade that day, he immediately took the rest. And bottled them, it's like the gel caps for being muggles, he bottled the entire cauldron worth. And is carrying them around with him." he said and she nodded in relief at the news as he went on.

"But he's thinking beyond rationally that my remark of disciplining his mind just took on a whole new meaning now that, to him, why risk the added drop in temperatures. Because it's basic snowing right now, if those things are around, it's becomes cold enough to ice over completely. But the lake hasn't frozen over yet and neither has the river next to the bridge." he said and she nodded sternly. "Well the pool water is warm enough for a swim." she said and he nodded then.

"I know, but the patronus training, his immune system is a bit weak, that what happens if he does leave the castle, Remus, Hagrid and I aren't chancing it." he said and she nodded. "And meaning I'm going Mrs. Medlock on her and treating her and Ronald the way. My double's other character did after finding the level of exertion, now had caused his muscles to tighten. I had enough of this, Severus send for Dan, I'm calling Molly." he said and Alan nodded to the order.

As it jumped forward a few minutes as the 'Grangers' and 'Weasleys' arrived at the front gates as she, Alan and Gary crossed their arms then. "Sev, what's wrong if you contacted us and the Weasleys, did something happen here?" Tom asked and he nodded. "Did Mione tell you about Harry's latest collapse in the latest letter?" he asked and they both nodded. "Since learning the truth about Pettigrew, and that he was the one that betrayed Jim and Lilly now in truth here."

"He's now wanting to be seen as just me, rather then we, hearing Peter escaped, and learning Cornelius put dementors around the castle. Harry decided to take this year off, no adventures, no breaking rules, just in training, extended time with the twins. And the team, and being with Ginny, problem is the duo will not leave him alone, it's like the harder he pulls. In pulling away, for some independence here right now, with him the first to have a steady girlfriend now."

"And his wanting to be seen as everything he would be if Jim and Lilly were still alive: the school's best junior dueler, the best seeker in the school. His life perfectly in balance, with his being a Leo, we all know what the male version of the sign entails. As he's got his life in balance, outside of their trio, though he hangs around with the sextet, and is with Ginny. And the tighter they cling to him, not wanting things to change." he said and Tom nodded sternly.

"Since the term started, Harry has come to complain to me repeatedly that despite wanting space to be his own person, and so he and Ginevra can be alone, your children will not. What he also complained about is her hassling him over taking Arithmacy and Ancient Runes. In truth, it's that child, she's created absolute havoc here in the dorms as well right now. Because now the cat seems to have created utter chaos, for only covering the mouse holes in the castle."

"And said rat looks just like Peter now, so kitty is trying to protect kittens, how does he know that said rat is a real rat and not an animagus. They been arguing constantly about Sybil's class as well as the first subject of the class is tea leaves. And Sirius's animagus form keeps showing up and till Harry has had all he can take now. I've tried to control her, your daughter, she must be sent away for a while, Dan, a few weeks at most, in this case, a month long separation."

"Maybe in order right now, he actually, after Ron started getting rude over Ginny always being around and insulted them, asked point blank. In why just her, why not the twins, the team and Percy as well, and they both paled, indicating this is clearly a plot to regain control. So my galleons are once again on the headmaster, he is trying to interfere in his life." She explained and Dumbledore went white, realizing every contingency plan was being destroyed now at that.

"And instead of the so called orphan being sent away, it's the ones with a family being sent home, or sent away, Medlock and her concerns over Craven pushing too hard to walk. Before they pulled a jail break after Maggie as her character left along with 2/3's of the staff?" Tom asked sternly and she nodded. "Indeed that's it exactly, that Harry wants to stay indoors, but Sirius is taking him to Headland for Christmas this year, at the beach, but Albus is against it."

"I think the headmaster was hoping for either two things here, 1) he does sneak out and with some boards in the bridge rotted through, he takes a dunk in water cold enough to kill. And he catches an infection keeping him over Christmas break right now, or 2) The twins. Now, point out the map that the Honeydukes cellar passage is open and go through that way. He hears my conversation with Cornelius and Rosemerta, loses all rational thought." she said and he nodded.

"Indeed, that's my direct opinion as well, 3 weeks to a month long in separation will not kill them, but he needs some breathing room to be me, rather then we right now." Alan said sternly and Tom nodded. "She and Ron just get back from their latest trip to the village?" Mark asked and she nodded. "She and Ronald are in my office." she said and Tom nodded. "Then take me to your office then, Professor." he said gently and she and Alan nodded as Alan pretended it then.

In following them as he was the one that called 'her parents'. "Harry has told me directly this on things, Harry has been hearing Lilly every time he gets near those things. But three go's a session while Remus was out of commission, and Severus was training him. This has been draining his reserves severely and enough he needs to rest, but this is something now. Your daughter is refusing to understand, what she is also refusing to understand is his feelings."

"His feelings over Peter, he's emotionally exhausted here, over the warnings on Peter, because every time we had a close call it's always after seeing a wilder version of Padfoot here. She has no regard for his fragile state of health, emotionally, Harry's still very fragile emotionally. As a result after getting the truth, that Peter, to save his own hide, betrayed his parents. He's the reason they are dead, and this in turn took Sirius and Remus away, along with Frank and Alice."

"Harry's collapse just underlined the key fact that of how fragile emotionally he really is right now in truth here, it's not physical, these things drain you emotionally. But the dementors have him hearing the biggest one of all, Lilly's murder, based on what Ben told me, he. The night the broom was destroyed, had a flashback memory to him and Ginny in the chamber. Based on what he, Harry told me, Percy was ready to owl you." she said and Julie and Tom both nodded sternly.

"He's said, again and again, just give me some space, some breathing room, but she won't, to her, she does what she pleases." she said as they arrived at her classroom then, as she undid the bolting charm on the door and Heather lifted an eyebrow then. "You locked her in?" Tom asked and she nodded. "And took away their wands as well, but I've had to, Mr. Granger, that's how wild and out of control she really is now, in trying to disregard my orders on him right now."

"Despite the fact we told them several times to give him breathing room, after the polyjuice potion, they still refuse to follow orders." she said and he and Mark and Julie nodded sternly. "Mum, dad, what are you doing here?" they said together and Mark crossed his arms. "Severus told us, that despite them telling you to give Harry some breathing room with dementors here. You still won't, you're being brought home a week early, so pack up your things, young man."

"Young lady, your winter break starts a week early right now, so come on." Julie said and they both paled at that. "Do you recall my double's reaction after she saw Craven's legs, there were two methods of better circulation. That device she used and the other was ice and heat therapy, the second was the one we had to use 11 times. And after your dealing with the obstacle course young lady, I knew it?" Maggie asked her sternly and Hermione paled, realizing she, our version.

Had now turned into said character and saw them, her, as evil now. "Young lady, young man, do you understand the more powerful the spell, the more draining it is. It's one thing training in said spell, as you get stronger in said spell, but another thing altogether. When you have to use that spell in life or death situations, Severus's remark of discipline your mind. He means this is stretching your mental legs by pushing the limit, the problem now he's over worked those legs."

"He is exhausted, mentally and physically right now, while Harry is just as fragile as Craven is right now, emotionally now, his body is spent right now. But were you paying attention to his refusal to leave the castle walls and grounds this past month, since the game. Because he came down with a cold, unlike you, with 3 go's a session, it's draining his reserves, leaving it. The mental door unlocked, he's fragile, emotionally and physically right now, but between you."

"You wretched girl, and the dangers of the temperatures outside right now with us on the borderline of the North Pole, are you two trying to kill him?" she said and they started shaking, realizing, how our head of house saw this. "Do you really think if he had been born with that spine condition and spent 70% of his time in bed right now. That you helping him to walk about, would never result in this." she said, waving her wand and showing said image and they paled.

"Because his emotional state is serious enough already right now." she said as they listened to her double then. "Your pulse is much too quick, and there is a definite sign of fever in your eyes, it's 50 degrees out there right now, that repeatedly doing this. Your body is suffering exhaustion and raised your temperature, John bring that ice." we heard and he quickly said it. "No!" he said quickly and she said it sternly then to him at that response.

"Despite what you and your cousin may think right now, you are still under my care, your father. He trusts me to do what is best for you and that is precisely what I intend to do." she said and she put it on hold. "My double made the alteration, after our exchange during the summer prior to your first year starting, only now I get the point. How much longer can I take the close calls and reckless behavior, before I decided enough was enough now."

"But frankly all these fights between you right now, your attitude young lady, you and your meddlesome boyfriend in all truth now here, your wretched duo. I've had enough of this, as between your duo and the dangers of those demons with him on the loose. And heaven knows what's going to happen if you keep sneaking out right now, I won't stand for it. Not anymore, I won't stand for any of it, so come on, get your stuff together, you're going home right now."

"But I'm keeping you three apart for a few weeks, he is a very emotionally fragile little boy, I have worked too hard and too long this year to keep him alive. That to have him killed, and by one very foolish, pigheaded little girl like you, but the troll. If you had gotten out of the bathroom before that troll got in, or the potion." she said and Hermione swallowed hard and the reprimand, now realizing her behavior had our favorite teacher beyond furious at her then.

"We had enough of this, that separation for a month won't kill you, he needs time." she said and threw her hand up. "Ahh no argument you two, as we keep saying, this is not a we situation, it's a me right now, it always was a me right now. But frankly you're stretching my patience too bloody far right now, Harold is not breaking orders, he's at the pool with Ginevra right now. But he, Ginevra and the twins need some space." Alan said and Ron went white at that remark then.

"Ron, I blew the whistle on this, telling her, through Harry, about this, I'm ready to contact mum and dad, and this situation with the cat is making things worse. But what is also straining your friendship to breaking is your refusal to consider their feelings. But instead of Harry ratting you out, I do, and no pun intended here, the twins, Ginny and I stay, you go home." Chris said sternly as he walked in with the prefect badge on his shoulder and they both paled at that.

"Wait, why just me, and not all of us!" Rupert said in shock and he crossed his arms. "They're not the ones trying to interfere in Harry's relationship with your sister, Harry said it directly. Before this results in the situation with replacing the broom, for a stronger one now, Harry just did it for you, and now you're the ones in the hotseat." Tom said sternly and they both paled. "Young lady can't you control the cat, and what about you, locking up the bloody rat right now."

"Want to tell me here in why you're trying to drag your sister back with you, or is this once again, only about your feelings and to hades with their's?" Tom said sternly and they started shaking, realizing I wanted to be seen as me, and be with my girlfriend. "Nice timing Uncle Dan, dad, but ever since the term started, he and Hermione have been trying to interfere. And in our relationship, despite that being illegal, Ginny's my betrothed." Daniel said then and he nodded.

As he arrived in my gym clothes then for winter then, his hair slightly damp from said swim at the pool then with a towel wrapped about his shoulders then. And as he leaned against Chris's shoulder with his arms crossed, before the twins, Bonnie, the girls and Sean also appeared. And all of them were dressed and looking the same way, with being dressed in sweats now. And carrying towels around their necks, from being at the pool then as Bonnie dried her hair off.

"I did warn you Ron, sooner or later, I get sick of you treating me like rubbish, things change they can not change back, my cloak's carrying the Potter family emblem. I am the betrothed of the new House of Potter, get used to it." Bonnie said sternly and he started shaking. "And maybe now we can get a week of peace and quiet without all the belligerent behavior now. And it's because everyone, from the youngest, to their class, to the 12, to our classes now in truth."

"We're all getting sick and tired of all the fighting you two, until we all say, through Harry, that enough is enough, if we have to get you guys out of the dormitory. Just so we can get a month worth of peace and quiet well then so be it." Georgina said sternly to this. "But I wish he would talk to me, I wish he wouldn't, maybe I should talk to him, maybe I shouldn't talk to him. But come on enough already here, if you're just trying to further torture us, we say you leave."

"Now, as we had all we can take of the fighting right now!" James said sternly and Rupert swallowed hard at that, shaking. "You ever consider the 6 of us, Percy, Sarah, Jack, Rachel, Bill and Darrel decided to end this ourselves, and say to her through Harry right now. What is going on in the dormitory, before the cat kills Scabbers junior, or Uncle Pad gives him that broom. Or, to be perfectly honest, get our parents to interfere, before you destroy your trio right now?"

"But we all had enough already you guys, enough, this is ending right now, before the championships, we need to focus, Ron. Really we need to focus, we haven't won, since Charlie left, next year the 20 of us are switching schools. But this is next to last for Oliver, we want our last year with him as our captain!" Tiana said and Sean said it with a stern tone then. "But he can't focus if you're both bugging the hades out of him, so enough!" he said with a growl then.

"Are you trying to insure the books come to pass, because we all think this, we're not listening to the headmaster, not anymore, the old tosser is still trying anything he can. To control Harry, this year is the beginning of the end for him, the tournament starts the end of his planning. So stop it, we're never listening to him again, we're not staying on campus this Christmas. We're going home, end of story, first you, then the twins and me." Chris said and she nodded sternly.

"Good idea, Percy, send her to stay with the Black/Tonks's, beginning now for their courting, she's his fiancé, she should spend time with him and Sirius. They and the Tonks's are the extended, but no to Harry staying here every Christmas and Easter holidays. No to the entire summer at the Dursleys, no to Poppy always being the one to treat him. No, no, no, no, that no matter what he says, it's no." Mark said sternly and Chris nodded gently as Rupert went pale.

"But to repeat Harry, you want to be a lone lion and lioness in our dorm in our family pride with the rest of our pride switching schools. Harry's our brother-in-law, whether you like it or not, he's dating Ginny, that if I have to end this myself, with the twins with me. And we will, but that's enough of this already, we're anti Dumbledore now, this interference. It's illegal, that's enough of this already, don't make me do this, if I have to suspend you I will, leave them be."

"I mean it you two, leave them be, before I tell the Professor to have you home schooled for 2 months next year." Chris said sternly to them. "That goes for us too Ron, Mione, enough is enough, Harry is family, he's our brother-in-law he's Ginny's boyfriend and future husband. As for those classes who are you kidding exactly, and what about his emotional state. This is Lennox, Craven and Mrs. Medlock all over again, till our own head of house has to take charge."

"Harry's wracked up enough, knowing the truth, this is not a we, but a me, enough!" Oliver said in finality at this situation. "I think that makes the point you two, to get away from you, to be his own person, a referendum was issued on prevention over cure. Before you destroy your friendship completely right now in truth, but this attitude of your's. You expect me not to place you on restriction as your brothers don't mind him dating your sister, to me and your father."

"We want this." Julie said to him sternly. "Uh huh, yes alright Ginny, you, the twins and Percy can stay here, Ronald get your stuff together, you're coming home right now." Mark said sternly and he swallowed hard at that. "Minerva, you best hang onto her wand and his with her, because there is no leaving the house to get back up here." Tom said and she nodded. "See you next semester, guys." Daniel said firmly then and they sighed as we ended it at that remark then.

"And we're doing just that, once year three hits and after the dementors destroyed my version of his broomstick." Minerva said sternly and they both swallowed hard at that. "That's year 3, this is year 1, but with Sirius out of jail, I can go home for Christmas and Spring break now. But the headmaster claims that's not safe, so why is that?" I asked and Maggie nodded. "He's trying to control you for some bloody reason, though why is beyond me." she said and I nodded then.

"And again wise guy, was that really necessary, to have me seeing you guys arguing before you chase him downstairs next?" I asked my cat and he gave me a mew. "To let you know we arrived, with our family packs, we went for the forward approach kitten. And of we lead you downstairs and you saw Master and Mistress in the feeding area." he said with a meow and the cast started laughing and I nodded with a bemused smile as I ran my hand through his head fur.

"What kind of cat are you exactly, if I was muggle rather then magical?" Ron asked his adult double and he gave a mew. "I'm a red long furred Persian, kitten, but as a kitten, I look like him." he said with a meow as he looked at his kitten self and the Weasleys nodded smiling. "Well you're adorable as a kitten my friend, and very handsome as an adult." Ginny said and he gave a gentle mew to that. "Thank you kitten, I appreciate that." he said with a purr gently then.

"Well 2 years of peace and then we got Peter on the loose, and Scabbers 2, needs his habitat, so when we're in class, he's in his habitat, and the cats are guarding the dorms." I said and he gave a mew of agreement. "Yes Master, you and Mistress belong to me, but you're my owners, but not losing you to bad cat, or bad cat's alpha." he said and we smiled and nodded. "Love you to my friend, we're not letting you go either." I said for both of us and she nodded in agreement.

"And like I said, he's a cat, it's in his nature to chase mice, or rats, why make it easier, before even Hedwig has had enough of the debates between our pets. Till we got to put him in time out and Scabbers 2 in his cage, till they stop acting like children and act their age?" Mione said bemused and I nodded in agreement to that remark. "And to repeat this, if you would keep him in his habitat or the cage and not let him wander about, he wouldn't be at risk right now, Ron."

"With Peter on the loose, how is he to know the real to the fake, they look the same, but the fake aged 12 years, Sirius is right, 12 years, that's a strangely long life. And for a common garden rat, why is he missing a toe, and what about the candy, shouldn't he be getting sick?" she said and I covered my eyes. "Dad?" I said and he crossed his arms. "That's his favorite candy, fudge flies." Remus said sternly and we nodded in shock and Percy straightened at that.

"There's that, his missing toe, why did he decide to hide at Hagrid's house, and he heard you guys say map, so map, and then he realizes it, 'do they mean my map, my alias, I done!'." I said reading his thoughts out. "That he's realized his timer just ended, because you show that map to Minerva or I do. And his cover is blown, as we get Severus and Remus together and they confront him." I said and Sirius nodded and we nodded sternly in anger as she finished it firmly.

"Now realizing he knows the cat knows what he is, Sirius communicated he's after him and faked his death, the real is only 2 or 3 years old, for his safety. And till Peter is arrested keep the real one in his habitat, at least that way he has something to do. Besides Peter liked fudge flies, that must be his favorite candy now and you giving them to him. He figured you'd never know, that chocolate can kill a rat like it would a cat or dog." she said gently to him then to this.

"She's right, you grew up magical, us muggle, we understand what chocolate: dark or milk, does to our pets, it's the chemical inside it. That is toxic to them, if he could eat the fudge flies without it killing him, he's not a real rat, but a human." I said and Ron sighed at the reveal as Minerva nodded, bemused, smiling at the revelation then and Sirius sighed in relief then. "That's in small doses, but too much is toxic." Patrick said in response and Molly nodded to the news.
