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 38: New Passageways, Medical Supplies And Updates
"Well in total you had 5 years getting to know me as me, in both time-lines, but to me, you're my grandmother, and my favorite teacher, I could never now. Disappoint you, you both mean too much to me." I said and she smiled gently at that. "Love you too Harry." she said and I hugged her and she tightened her arms around me as Scrimgeour smiled softly at that remark. 'There's my boy, I've never been more proud of him.' I saw him thinking then gently.
"Minerva, these were a list of the movies up to now, in Disney, in cartoon movies." I said and passed her the paper as she saw the name of every single one, with the box image next to the name and she nodded. "Well they took the fairy tales too far here, but this looks good right now, but take it easy on the action movies." Aggie said with a bemused smile and we nodded. "That's just Disney, the eclectic is getting out of hand in everything else." Runcorn said with a smile.
"So we're 5th graders, instead of 6th graders, what am I looking forward to here, and that's in all of our cases?" Draco asked and I smiled. "You'll see, but whatever Uncle Ted chose is the opening in movies, the muggleborn adults and their muggle spouses. Are putting together a reading list for kids our age, we have reading lists, currently our reading. Are based on book series we as preteens like, as you heard the clang after those guys knocked each other over."
"That was a favorite action tv show we like as well, but what the cast are doing is what's caught martial arts, add a lightsaber, you learn to do katas without doing damage. But all self restraint is mastered from within, but for every year gained learning muggle, the muggle raised. And born gain a magical, till we're totally equaled out now, we'll be fine right now. But years 5 to 8, the catch of health becomes mandatory, no one is skipping out." I said and Minerva nodded.
"Why?" Madam Longbottom asked and I sighed. "At that age, our bodies undergo changes, what's a big one you, as adults try to prevent, with us entering puberty. And the girls have a bigger reason?" I asked and Draco covered his eyes. "We're prone to getting pregnant, if we do it the week, before or after." Amelia said sternly and I nodded. "That's one reason, the other is the toxic chemicals, drugs, alcohol and nicotine, and this is a school you're running here."
"So just say one means the other, you start flunking class, what's the next decision?" I asked and Minerva nodded sternly. "Until you get those grades up, you don't play, and secondly, stay clean and training, start with that junk and no training. Clean, wholesome, safe training environment, I get it, point made Harry, so we add that to the regime here." she said and I nodded to her, as Madam Longbottom wrote that down as Crouch said it gently then to this.
"Before you say it Barty, Horace, we're reactivating your tenure indefinitely, fix the reputation of your house and turn those children around." Madam Marchbanks said and he nodded smiling. "So you mean you're placing me back in control of Slytherin, and Severus and I share the position of potions master, but I'm doing 15 to 18 years olds?" he said and she nodded to him. "Exactly, you get Harry for his high school years now." she said and he smiled at the news then.
"What's this mean for the Death Eaters boys, and the Parkinson girl, as Narcissa divorced Lucius after Harry offered a hand in friendship to Dragon, before Lucius attacked the minister?" he asked and Aggie crossed her arms. "These children are not getting away with anything anymore, do for them what you did for their parents." Lord Robert Samuels said and he nodded. "And clean up down there, it's turned into the Chamber pipe itself." I said and he nodded sternly.
"I even want to know how you know that?" he asked and she sighed. "The potion, I was impersonating Goyle, but he gave me enough now, 50 years ago. That's when you were teaching there still, when Riddle was there." I said and Slughorn nodded. "Then they all think he's a pureblood, well that's irony, Albus and I both know that Tom is a half blood. Before you gained that intel next, I take it you saw his version to Rubeus's arrest?" he asked and I nodded.
"I knew you were going to be my favorite student, only now we're not having you guys walking in there impersonating another student here. Although the secret passages are the only way in, and we can do those later on, but Minerva, Pomona, Filius and I. We're once again assuming control of the head of house positions, with a member of your parent's age group. Next in command, so whatever you call this, we do that, us then a second." he said and Aggie smiled.
"So you're just calling him by his real name now Horace?" she asked and he nodded. "I knew him as Tom, and so does Albus, only the difference here is I never stuck by that stigma. Lilly was proof of that, she was like a daughter to me." he said and she nodded. "Sir, why not show me that memory I got 2 of them already, I find the diadem and we got them all. As the ring is cursed and he never turned his snake into one yet." I said and he nodded gently to me then.
"Alright this should work right now, I can fix the slum of my house that Albus turned us into: the points system and everything else, but remember. There are some good Slytherin families out there, not all of us are like that, that's like saying all you Gryffindors are like this boy." he said, pointing at Matt Dillon in his portrayal of Dallas Winston. "I understand and I will remember, Sir, I promise." I said smiling and Minerva exchanged smiles with Crouch as he said it to me gently.
"School starts in 6 weeks, but time is up, it's time to relocate now." he said and I nodded. "This is going to be a long year, but how far are they going to go to try and tear it down. Said the protection at my aunt's house?" I asked and he said it. "Pretty highly, but we need to always be on watch in Deloris's case." he said and I nodded. "Alright, Mione, I'll call you guys tomorrow, but I'm relocating tonight, before the term starts." I said and they nodded as we ended it then
As I headed for home and packed up then. "See you guys at Christmas." I said and the Dursleys and Polkiss's nodded as we exchanged hugs as I pulled on my robes then as I showed my real self then gently at that, as Sirius and I headed for London then as I looked at the house then, knowing his manor sat between 11 and 13, as a second later it appeared then and we walked into the house then gently as I saw the level of work Toppy and Kreacher did on it then.
As I settled into my life in his house, I knew I had a busy 6 weeks now as we prepared for school then gently at that, knowing this was going to be a long year...
A Week Later-Castle Security Precautions:
"Harry we're going to the castle now." Sirius said and I nodded as we headed for the school and I said it. "Argus!" he said and Filch moved to us. "We're inputting some new passageways for his security, as we both know the old ones are by the headmaster." he said and Filch nodded. "Meow!" the cat said and I smiled. "Hey girl, yeah new halls for kitten to protect me now, from alpha with long whiskers, he is mad enough to hurt me, new protection." I said and she purred.
As I ran my hand through her fur smiling then and she rubbed her head against my hand. "Well nothing's going to change, better first impression now here, so these new passageways. Are for your security, but in the words of the corrupt version of your remark, these new passageways. Are for the king's security, not so you can startle me to death, but remember the rules." Filch said and Remus started laughing. "Yeah point made right now." Sirius said, smiling then to that.
"Okay where do you want to start, because the old one was is back in our hands, the new one, the one being created for the boys is for their safety, the twins, Jordon and him." he said and Filch nodded gently and he thought it over then. "The hospital wing, said demo conversation, and Poppy, Minerva and Ben are here, they want to see you." he said and they nodded as I headed there. "Grandma, guys!" I said and Minerva moved to me and I hugged her then tightly.
"He here right now?" I asked and she shook her head. "No it's safe now, we can do this and he's none the wiser." she said and Sirius sighed in relief. "My lady, we're inputting new passageways into you starting today, but Professor Mooney. Professor Flaps, Padfoot and Headmistress Kitty, they are protecting me, the heir of red master." I said and I felt a shake in reply. "Okay my name is Flaps, if I was animagus, I'm a bat then." Severus said and she chuckled at that gently.
"That or a Raven, which is good name for you, okay Flaps then." Sirius said smiling then and Remus nodded in agreement. "Dad, Uncle Sev was just given his new name, Flaps, if he was animagus, he's a Raven or a Bat." I said and the map activated on that. 'Got it son, welcome to the pack mate, you're Flaps now.' he said and Severus and I nodded. "Thanks Prongs, don't worry I'll take care of Bambi." he said and they knew my biological father nodded then.
"Whoa what is all this?!" Remus asked, looking at the pile of boxes then, a few medical racks and other essentials and Ben chuckled. "Chapman came through for us, they got us enough to last 70 years here, son." he said and I nodded as I took a look at several of them, and then saw a scale, and a few other things we normally saw in a normal hospital. "Student physicals, the scale charts are weight, height, and eye sight." I said and Minerva nodded in understanding.
"While these are meant to check throat, ears and eyes." I said showing her the stethoscope, and the other instruments. "Those popsicle sticks?" Remus asked and Ben answered that. "They're tongue depressors, so we can check their throats, to get a better look here now. But before school starts, I'm calling in student physicals, because I'm their doctor, as a muggle. All muggleborns are to come to me, starting next week." he said and she nodded to the orders.
"Yeah being a normal muggleborn just took that a little too far here right now, if this is what dealing with being a pediatrician is really like." she said and he nodded gently. " It is, and trust me there's a reason they call it patience here right now, and in truth. It's patience you have to have when your said are children, and hate being stuck in bed." he said and she nodded. "Cub don't start with me in year 3, you need to take it easy." she and Remus said and I nodded.
"The three we talked about, from in here, the 4th goes straight into the come and go room, the 5th straight to the rec library, like I said. As you had 10 hang outs and they'll check them all if that alteration the book comes true, they. That's Ronald and Hermione, don't know where the last two lead to, although the first three. Said are your study room in the dorms, Minerva's class room and the chamber." Severus said and I nodded gently as they exchanged firm looks then.
"Make that 6, the number 6, goes straight to Aberforth." I said and she chuckled. "The Hogshead Inn, I never would have thought of that, everyone knows about Honeydukes. But Aberforth's cantina, nice thinking right now." she said and I nodded. "My lady, there is to be a triple passageway from in here, the third leads into the Chamber of secrets itself. Away from Green Master's entrance, but I come in this in way, and leave through his entrance now."
"But for a teenager with bad Headmaster going mad, I need a little help here, my dear." I said and the school shook as I saw the platform appear then. "We're creating 9, two of those tunnels walk right into my and Severus quarters now. As the ones on the ramp and platform are the only new ones either the duo or the Patterson gang now. But if they're still jacked right now, the tower is having your own quarters separated from them." Minerva said and I nodded to her.
"The first is to lead to the Gryffindor tower into the study room, the second into Headmistress Kitty's class room, from in here and the third right into the chamber." I said and 3 doors appeared from above the door, as one was directly over it. And the second leading from her classroom, as the third showed a slide into something and I nodded. "No one, but me goes into that hole, lock it up, I'm using it, after I kill the snake, to get supplies." I said and they nodded.
"That's no adult over the age of 17, because this slide is cub sized from 8 to 17, only you can fit through it." Poppy said and the castle shook to confirm that thought. "Well trying to do this when your legs are that exhausted, you're stuck down there." Ben said and I nodded, before a paper appeared on the floor and I saw a bedroom set up downstairs. "Muscle recovery potions, a bed, oil lap, bedside stand, that's a personal room." she said and it gave a gentle shake then.
"Don't try that, because I need to make sure you're healing properly here." Ben said bemused and I nodded to the orders. "Kingsley, Ted, check the other two passageways, I want to know where they go." she said and they nodded to the orders as they left. "Well once Dumbledore's gone, my kids have use of these, just change that passageway. From my way into Green Master's chamber into a clubhouse for my children and their friends." I said and I got a shake.
"Grandfather, the master key for me." I said and it appeared in 4-layer colored key the top being red, and matching the primary color on each dorm, the last being green. "Test check." I said and stuck the key in the lock and turned it and we heard clanks all over the school. "Mew, Mew, Mew!" we heard and I quickly unlocked the door, opened it and Norris came running in. "Mew meow." she said to me and I nodded. "Yeah, yeah metal works." Cedric said with a laugh then.
"Mew." she said with an amused smile in her eyes and Argus nodded in agreement. "Fast test and you just scared the cat out of her wits right now, she was standing in front of the door. Heard the clank, before hearing that being echoed all over the school right now." Ted said shaking in laughter and Minerva nodded with a chuckle then. "Alright, the medical department get their own master key, but we got work to do here right now." I said and got a shake at that.
As a key appeared on the floor and Ben put it in his pocket. "Better triple those, because I got areas here, with being a nursing aide for a preteen to teenage." Jeff said and in response 14 more appeared on the floor and the quartet grabbed their's then. "We better figure out which key goes where." I said and they nodded as Jeff followed me up the stairs, as he stuck one into the door on the left and nothing, before trying the second and it turned and I nodded then.
"Oh my lady, I want you to change all the locks to earth early 20th century key locks, the keys you gave us are of the model they used in the 1900's key locks, and a single master key. This key: lock one door it causes a domino effect and engages the others, my master key does that. These keys are going to lock every door, bolt them shut and create a protection charm on these doors." I said and I got a shake at the news then, before getting a questioning shake at that.
And in response then. "I'll take that to mean, 'You mean, with what you told me a few weeks ago, this is going to enhanced security. With Professor Mooney running loose and not thinking straight right now when Wormtail is running loose after escaping my counterpart facility?'." Jeff said and I nodded. "Get the others, Percy to Charlie's class, bring them in right now, with the fact we got Dora and Cedric here already." I said and they nodded to the orders then gently.
"All next year 5th to 8th classes, come to Hogwarts and bring your parent, the one working in the ministry, repeat all 5th to 8th year students bring your parent and come to Hogwarts. We are in the Infirmary." Minerva said and sent out her patronus, before 15 minutes later everyone arrived and I nodded. "You wanted to see us, Professor?" Charlie asked her and she nodded then. "We're setting up the passageways, Charlie." She said and he nodded smiling then to her.
"What happened, if she's looking at you like she's saying, 'whatever you did, don't do that again!'." Sarah asked and Cedric chuckled. "Testing out said master key, she heard the clank of the lock being activated, before hearing it all over the castle. And came running in after he unlocked the door." he said and they started laughing. "Yeah the metal works alright, but everyone is hold up in here, or the great hall that week." Billy said smiling and she mewed then.
"However Marcus, your new head of house is Professor Slughorn, he's returning to duty, he's also your age groups Potionsmaster." Minerva said and he nodded, before paling. "We're getting a new head of house, and said our parents version?" his female counterpart asked and she nodded. "Indeed young lady, but this means I'm turning the house around, you will bide aby my rules starting now, but Severus has the kids, your younger counterparts have him now in truth."
"As a potions master, you have me, but time to grow up, you're the role model, act like this, and the younger kids will think they can to." he said and they nodded. "But that's right young man, but just because the trio score against you, doesn't mean you should take your tempers. And out on someone during a game, but do so, you're off the team or you lose your captaincy. Because this is what I was like with your parents now, and trust me, I never tolerated it then."
"And I won't now here, so tread carefully, before I expel you for brute force when unprovoked, is that clear?" he said sternly and he swallowed hard at that and nodded, shaking, to him then. "The board put him back in place here, so he's in charge starting now, but he's fixing a single mistake and one that turned you into the mockery of the one great house you once were." Pomona said and they looked down, realizing what they become, since my parents died then.
"I accidentally told Tom Riddle how to achieve those horcruxes, and I'm fixing that mistake right now, but Tom Marvolo Riddle became he who must not be named." he explained and they nodded in shock. "Fixing us in the process as the Death Eater spawn, think that just because Professor Snape used to be a death eater, they get special treatment. Well that's not the case anymore, you don't play favorites, but treat us just the same?" She said and he nodded to her.
"We get it, and we will try hard to meet your expectations, Professor Slughorn." A neutral said to him and he nodded gently. "Remember, I am the one in charge, but your fate rests with me, break the rules and it's a three strike rule, strike 3 means expulsion. Regardless of what the headmaster says, it's my decision, but I am a male version of Minerva. So I suggest you, before I get in the dorms, tell the Death Eater spawn this, Severus is next in command of Slytherin."
"He's back to being himself when Lilly was still alive as kids." he said and they nodded quickly then. "We understand and I will, but if the quartet get moved to Gryffindor, we become the house you once knew, as Potter destroys every single one now." a 5th year said to him and he nodded to her. "The named ones are Nott, Crabbe and Goyle, they're all Death Eater children, the ones left in the dorms, Pansy Parkinson is no better." he said and they nodded sternly then.
"Then this means Draco is being put in Gryffindor, along with the Davis, Greengrass and Bulstrode girls." she said and he nodded. "Separating the kids is a key thing, as I put in a erodement of Narcissa's marriage to Malfoy, Draco has taken my name." Sirius said and she nodded. "So am I making changes to the house sorting this year, put them, from the house said students were in-in one round and put them in a new one." the sorting hat said to us at that.
"That's the plan actually, so anything the headmaster tries, reveals the true person beneath, so just say Zach tries to convince me it's still reversed, that just shows it. He's cunning, you already named off the traits of each house right now as we all know. Cunning is a Slytherin trait, wanting to mold me back to what the headmaster wanted. And who is the house of the cunning exactly?" I asked and they smiled with an amused look as Slughorn chuckled at my remark.
"Try it young man, and you are mine, because you show our house attributes, Harry belongs with the lions, he takes after his mother lion now." He said with a stern smile. "Uh oh, this is not going to go down well right now, with you back right now, then this means. And for some of these arrogant characters now, it's 'I'm from a long line of whatever, I should go there!'. But please boys, can you be anymore arrogant!" she said as she started laughing and he nodded.
"I know, the Professor's me at sum age in truth here, but from me to my biological father to him, but each house is exactly as she described. But you don't make like family, then it's not a house anymore, but a pack." I said and she chuckled. "Anyone here eat Duck by any chance?" I asked and they shook their heads. "No I never liked the flavor of the wild poultry, give me a good turkey, or ham, any day." she said and I smiled as I looked at her gently at that remark.
"That makes two of us." I said to that news then. "What's your name?" I asked and she smiled gently. "Constance Renfield, but you can call me Connie." she said and I smiled. "Issues in this school, but with the last 4 years for you guys, expect trouble, we're not on each other's cases. And all the time anymore, but I wasn't kidding, Tom Marvolo Riddle is 'his' real name, he's a half blood, but he's descended from Slytherin himself: the Gaunts." I said and they all nodded then.
"The school mascot, in your case, is a basilisk, but you're going to want see this." I said and activated my memories of the confrontation. "She won't wake." we heard and I lifted my gaze to see a young man dressed in robes with a slytherin patch on his shoulder. "Tom." Slughorn said sternly and I nodded. "Tom, Tom Riddle." I said and he nodded. "What do you mean, she won't wake? She's not...?" I said shaking in fear then and he shook his head then.
"She's still alive, but only just." he said and I said it quickly. "Are you a ghost?" I asked and he said it then. "A memory... ...preserved in a diary for 50 years." he said and I looked at her in fear. "She's cold as ice, Ginny, please don't be dead, wake up, don't leave me, Ginny, don't you dare leave me, hang in there baby, hang on!" I said desperately then to her, gripping her hand and Arthur nodded in fury then as Percy and Charlie crossed their arms.
"You've got to help me, Tom. There's a basilisk." I said and he said it firmly. "It won't come until it's called." he said and I saw he grabbed my wand. "Give me my wand, Tom." he said and he smirked. "You won't be needing it." he said and I said it sternly "We've got to go. We've got to save her." I said and he said it, as they heard his tone turn malicious. "I'm afraid I can't do that, you see, as poor Ginny grows weaker, I grow stronger."
"Yes, Harry, it was Ginny Weasley who opened the Chamber of Secrets." he said and I shook my head. "No, she couldn't, she wouldn't." I said and he said it with a smirk. "It was Ginny who set the basilisk on the Mudbloods and Filch's cat... ...Ginny who wrote the threatening messages on the walls." he said and I said it then. "Persuasive, what did you do to her, and why?" I asked him then and he said it with a smirk then as he answered me.
"Because I told her to. You'll find I can be very persuasive. Not that she knew what she was doing, she was, shall we say, in a kind of trance. Still, the power of the diary began to scare her. She tried to dispose of it in the girls' bathroom. And then who should find it but you? The very person I was most anxious to meet." he said and I said it angrily then. "And why did you want to meet me?" I asked as I looked at him then.
"I knew I had to talk to you, meet you if I could. So I decided to show you my capture of that brainless oaf Hagrid... ...to gain your trust." he said and I said it in realization. "Hagrid's my friend and you framed him, didn't you?" I said and he smirked then. "It was my word against Hagrid's, only Dumbledore seemed to think he was innocent." he said and I nodded. "I'll bet Dumbledore saw right through you." I said, smirking at him then.
"He certainly kept an annoyingly close watch on me after that. I knew it wouldn't be safe to open the Chamber again while I was at school... ...so I decided to leave behind a diary... ...preserving my 16-year-old self in its pages... ...so that one day I would be able to lead another... ...to finish Salazar Slytherin's noble work." he said and I said it sternly, as Slughorn crossed his arms at that remark then.
"Who are you really, if you want to meet me, and getting to me through my girlfriend and sister, my sister-in-law, and my friends?" I asked and he smirked. "You never figured it out yet, Harry I'm surprised at that, how could you survive the attack. When as a baby, but I guess if you never put it together, the sorting hat was wrong. The prophecy, only you can stop Voldemort." he said and I nodded slowly at that news then.
"Well, you haven't finished it this time. In a few hours, the Mandrake Draught will be ready. And everyone who was Petrified will be all right again." I said and Charlie stood up as he saw the dangerous looked in his eyes. "Haven't I told you? killing Mudbloods doesn't matter to me anymore. For many months now, my new target has been you. How is it that a baby with no extraordinary magical talent... ...was able to defeat him."
"Defeat the greatest wizard of all time? How did you escape with nothing but a scar... ...while Lord Voldemort's powers were destroyed?" he asked and I said it carefully. "Yeah he's realizing it now, this character is in shock a so called powerful lord could destroy him." Slughorn said and I nodded "Why do you care how I escaped?" I said and and then said it "Voldemort was after your time." I said and he said it then, as he used my wand then.
"Voldemort is my past, present and future." he said and wrote out his name, before waving his wand and the letters rearranged themselves and they wrote out a sentence "You. You're the Heir of Slytherin." I said, looking at him, realizing my sworn enemy was the heir of one of the house founders. "You're Voldemort." I said to him then. "Surely you didn't think... ...I was going to keep my filthy Muggle father's name?" he said to me with a smirk then.
"No, I fashioned myself a new name, a name I knew wizards everywhere... ...would fear to speak when I became the greatest sorcerer in the world." they heard and Slughorn nodded sternly. "I am the strongest, most powerful wizard in the world Tom, I defeated you times, 5 at once." I said and he nodded sternly. "Wrong young man, Harold is the greatest sorcerer in the world." Slughorn said and their parents nodded in shocked disgust at the rant.
"So there's the rant at the duo, he mentally raped her and you took that fang to the diary and killed that version of his soul." Charlie said and I nodded to him gently. "You touch my wife at all like that, mentally or physically, I will kill whoever does it." I said and the Slytherins nodded. "I see, but point made, you made your point, little mate, just get the bloody thing out of you. Let the venom destroy the one in you, and you destroy the diary." Kingsley said to me gently then.
"This is the man these children are listening to, he's nothing, but a posturing child!" Ben said in shock and I nodded in agreement. "And now he's done it, he just completely ticked you off right now, don't you dare leave me. Said translation, 'alright that's it, what you do to her exactly, get your damn hands off of her!" Billy said sternly and I nodded. "Yes, but this is why I'm getting sick of their attitudes, so security code that year." I said gently to him and they nodded sternly.
"So you have our cunning, Gryffindor'd bravery, Hufflepuff's loyalty and friendship, dedication to hard work and Ravenclaw's wisdom and cleverness?" she said and I nodded. "Yeah I never knew what the hat meant till I got the realization, I carry all the best attributes of each house. But this is like our horoscopes, the good only, not the bad, watch out for the bad. That's what turned you into this, the worst attributes of your house." I said and she nodded in understanding gently.
"I know I'm going to regret asking this, but why are you calling us by our first names rather then surnames exactly?" she asked him and he smiled. "Back when your parents were your age, and rather then surname, we called your parents by name, your first names. So returning to that, like you know school jumped up a year, so you graduate at 18 now. As you learn this stuff, and we're cleaning the dungeon halls, make them clean here." he said and they nodded gently.
"What a mess, the place looks it like has 10 years worth of mud trekked through it after 10 years worth of quidditch games or what not, Professor." she said and he nodded. "I know and though living under the lake, that's no reason to have the grime piling up. And till you need a chisel to cut through it, so we got work to do, and some of said in our house call them riffraff. Look at the squalor the dungeons have become, in 10 years." he said and they nodded to that.
"Point taken, and we can make our house great again, so yeah, we got work to do." A 6th year girl said smiling and Minerva smiled, as she knew their 5th to new 8th years were starting to like him. "As for you Harry, if you're that much like us, we can get along just fine, now that we separated Draco from the rest of the Death Eater spawn, no more constant rivalry." she said and I nodded, looking between the ones that accepted me and him that fast gently at that remark.
"So you said you're putting in the new passages now, Harry?" Oliver asked and I nodded. "Oh great, we need them once year three comes up, with him on the loose." Sarah said to this then. "That's the reason exactly right now, with Mooney not in his right mind that year, Auror Kingsley has the other to unlock them when or if Wormtail breaks into the castle. But like I said here, so Professor Wolf is going dangerous wolf if Wormtail escapes, so these keys now are hexed."
"Lock one door, they immediately lock, bolt and magically bolt every door to every room occupied in the castle, till it goes from dark to light. And Professor Wolf changes back into himself, as he goes to his room, his classroom and sleeps it off." I said and the castle gave a shake to answer me then. "Nice reminder, these keys create triple protection in school, till the manhunt is done." Remus said as I saw the door lock change then from being 17th century now.
To 300 years later, as the keys all changed to match the ones on Clue and Return To Oz, only in different colors. "Whoa, these are beautiful!" Connie said smiling and I nodded. "These are keys from when we reached the turn of the century, small enough to keep on a chain. And said chain is hooked to the belt, in either gender here, but with these keys they're color coded. To tell you which door up there they go to, before the master key activates the entire system here."
"Though interschool games, we're one now." I said and they nodded smiling gently then to that news. "So this is what the keys looked like in America during the late 1900's to early 20th century, they're a work of art." Remus said and I nodded. "Solid gold, but there's key catch here only you know, after I jinxed the keys you know this. Only one of them matches the key lock in the obstacle course, Harry, you know it." Filius said and I nodded in agreement then gently then.
"Well the red one is solid ruby with gold etching, matching our dormitory." I said and he got a better look and smiled. "Check the green one." she said and he took a look. "Emerald green with silver on the keychain band." he said and she smiled at that. "Nice, we know who each one belongs to in head of houses, but one last thing, passwords at night. Not going out the front door of our dorms, but we can go in through our tunnel system." I said and Minerva smiled.
"Oh I get what you mean, with knowing he's prowling the halls, we can't go out that way, through our dorm entrance, but we can with the passageways. Connected in here, so we go out through our dorm passages, and either come into the infirmary. Or join each other in the dorms, nice thinking little brother, that's the safest way to go, but you thought of everything. To make that year safe for us, with the dementors here." Cedric said and Dora nodded smiling then.
"As for your knowing what you're looking at with the keys remember, he broke the wing of the one I hexed, but the others makes it harder. Remember, there is no pleasure of the gain, if there is no risk of the journey to get to it." Filius said smiling and I nodded smiling. "I know, but we ran the course so many times here, we know we're going to beat him, as he sees me finally." I said and he nodded. "Just remember the key lock, son." Crouch said for him and I nodded then.
"Yeah old fashioned key lock, the locks in 19th century to early 20th century, and the lock is rusted, so said key is also rusted, and after Quirrell damaged the wing. I catch it a little too quickly, but they get testy, leave their brother counterpart alone." I said and they nodded. "Yes, that's exactly what you should know, but your trio never knew we did this on purpose. But knowing you're to belonging said dormitory, we got this under control here, as you get older."
"Well this should help now, he can't get in, and not when the door is hexed." Minerva said and I nodded then. "Nice security arrangement, that engages every lock in the castle now, so you lock down the Great Hall. And it locks every door in the castle, as we do a room by room search and he's trapped!" Dora said smiling sternly and Minerva nodded in agreement. "I call that being 3 to 4 steps ahead of the enemy or opponent, clever idea here." Filius said with a smile at my idea.
"Safely in the Great Hall, we're watching a movie or two, then lights out now." I said and Minerva smiled at my idea. "Good thing you're dressed in your sweats you can treat those like pajamas for the night, while we search the castle now." Severus said and she nodded in agreement. "So this is what key locks look like in the early 1900's?" Pomona asked and I nodded. "Yeah old colony keys, lock from the inside and no getting out." I said and she nodded.
"Ouch, so Cinderella's evil stepmother locked the door on the inside and slammed the door?" Dora said and I nodded to her. "Yeah till the mice got the key, but the further into the future the movies go the more graphic they get in disney, so watch out, in disney deaths." Jeff said to her over the railing and they all nodded. "Then I think that The Jungle Book was 1901 India, and why else would he be living in the jungle, but that his family was killed by the tiger right now."
"That must be what the live action really shows here now, after Sam Neil played his future wife's father, the Colonel." Alastor said in response and I nodded. "Whoever is messing around in these tunnels, watch where you're going or you're going to trip over something in there. Jeff any idea what color key goes where yet?" Minerva asked and he nodded. "Yeah I tested the red one, on the red door, this is a correct match so the red goes to our dormitory, but bi-tunnel here."
"The red key is for our dormitory, Minerva." Jeff said and she nodded gently, as I thought it over and then smiled. "Red is fire, green is water, Gryffindor and Slytherin." I said and they smiled as he realized it. "I get it, the emerald key is for the Chamber of Secrets, the cherry red one is to our dormitory, and the gold key is to your classroom, Minerva." Kristine said and she nodded as she said it to her. "The 5th set must be for Severus then." she said and I nodded in agreement.
As Severus grabbed his set then, before a 6th set appeared for her and she nodded. "Yeah I got it, as deputy headmistress, I'm Sarah Medlock's position as head of the household here." she said and the castle gave a shake to answer her and she chuckled as they unlocked the two doors then for the duo. "Talk about turning the castle into a magical version of Hill House or Craven Manor right now." Ben said and she started laughing as I looked around and said it gently then.
"Like Remus said boys, young lady, how do you expect to get the keys off of us, you're just children, we're adults, we never taught you non verbal spells, yet." Slughorn said sternly and I nodded to that. "Well dad in looks, but mom's personality." I said and he chuckled at that nodded. "Indeed that and the eyes, but these two need to understand, you deserve to show more then just being seen for your adventures." he said and I nodded gently then to that.
"Dealing with kids day in and day out, we love children, that being a teacher was our calling in life." Remus said smiling and she nodded in agreement. "Remus, you're my second, Ted does Pomona, Severus you have Slytherin, you better be as hard as possible. And on the Death Eater spawn, the boys are under investigation, after their paternal leader attacked the minister. And Alex, honey, you got Ravenclaw." she said and the trio nodded to the orders then gently at that.
"Expect trouble year three, we can get the trio done by the goblins, but mine and the trio are being by done by snake venom now. I got the first two, I just got to get the diadem and I got them all, during the summer when we go home. Dad, we take them to the goblins and they do said ritual, while Dumbledore gets the ring next?" I asked and he nodded sternly. "Yes and good idea right now, as for your question." he said and Slughorn finished that remark then gently.
"We do, but the fact you added me to said trusted adults, all that says right now, you decided to create it, our relationship I have nothing to be afraid of. And as I destroy them all, you have no need for that, well Tom, you're finished, we get them all done long before the tournament. That exchange, as we do them all, long before he comes back." he said and I nodded. "I know whoever was hexed, someone is trying to kill him, before Severus does." I said and he nodded.
"And son, don't try that, you know I'm trustworthy, but you know if I suddenly change in personality, I been imperiused, so just do the reversal." Severus said and I nodded to the orders. "You shouted out the reversal after the dueling got a little out of hand and turned, or nearly turned, into a magical brawl. And the old fool doesn't know what he's doing, you been training me for 2 years." I said and he nodded smiling gently as Slughorn shook his head then.
"He means after I separated them, his trio for dueling practice, the spells started getting out of hand and the girls, Millie Bulstrode and Hermione now, went to a case of muggle sparring." Severus explained and he nodded. "Being the only one that actually understands this, you trained me a little too well and I used the disarming spell on him, and blasted him so hard. He was thrown over the trunk and into the wall." I said and he started laughing at that remark.
"Best at dueling, potions, you're a defense prodigy, and this keeps, you're going to best your father at being animagus by the time you're 14, son." He said and I nodded. "Yeah and name chosen, their cub nickname for me, Bambi." he said and he chuckled and nodded. "You want to be a stag, Harry?" he asked and I nodded gently. "Yeah, dad was Prongs, but my nicknames for the duo as a baby came back finally, but if Lockhart never realized what kind of legend I am."
"Has he defeated the biggest snake in our world, had he fought it out with the darkest wizard in our world and survived, has he destroyed 5 horcruxes?" I asked and he nodded. "No, but going up against a defense prodigy you're getting blasted." Slughorn said with an amused smile then. "You bonehead, you clearly can't be a teacher, if you can't control your students, we do this day and day out around here." Jeff said as he started laughing at the comment and he nodded then.
"And what does this tell you, instead of being teacher to student, we act like you're really our family here?" I asked and he chuckled. "It says that as your current guardians, you treat us like we're your parents and grandparents now. Anything comes up in in the dorms, we're the first to know, but 'en loco parentis', in place of the parent. As your father left me to do what is best for you, and that is exactly what I will do." Minerva said, smiling and they nodded in agreement.
"And to repeat this, Ronald's wand does devastation with even the simplest spells, we'd be sending Harry to the infirmary in a match box. But nice try though, Draco, you and Harry, you practice, demo boys." Severus said and Remus nodded. "I think Dumbledore meant to do that, injure him, and put him back in the infirmary." Slughorn said and he nodded sternly. "Indeed, but nice try, we're not falling for it here." Filius said sternly and Minerva and Severus nodded.
"My lady, I wish for you to create a fourth into the come and go room, for my own use only, I am preparing for entrance into the academy. When not in use for physical education class, or training." I said and the school gave me a gentle shake. "The fifth is into Former headmaster's estranged brother's pub in Hogsmead for supplies, in case of extensive training. And number 6th is to our new school recreation book library, from Professor Flaps class, and number 7 now."
"Number 7, is to go straight to my own hide out on school grounds, while numbers 8, 9 and 10 and are going into Professors Kitty, Wolf and Flaps quarters. What with former headmaster losing all mental control over everyone refusing to listen and following me. He's dangerous, and he's become a threat to himself, me and everyone not listening to him over me now. So with that, the unseen ones are meant for me, the 2 that are being used against my friends now."
"That's Master Weasley and Mistress Granger with them a threat to me, because of him, is the one to my dormitory in Gryffindor tower and the one into Professor Kitty's classroom. But with you belonging to my family, this is for the duration, what time bad headmaster has left. Because years 7 and 8, everything is like if Green master's heir never created his anchors now. So once he is gone, everything in you is a school once again, but for now these passages are security."
"My soulmate, her brothers, and our team are the ones that use them, protect all pro ministry faculty and students from former headmaster's drones. Only non lethal force, I'm looking for blue mistress's missing diadem, and then I have all 5 of them. I'm destroying them one by one, so for now wait till Green Master's pet is released and we begin, my dear lady. I hereby claim you in the name of the Potter clan, so mote it be." I said and got another shake in response.
"And one to my classroom, so from the lab to Sybil's classroom, there's 250 rooms in the main building 350,000,000+ places to hide on this campus, it's going to take him hours to find you. But what about said getting out of the school, where in the village are you hiding, before you send one to Dufftown, that's a 3/4's a mile away from here." Cunningham said and Sarah started laughing at that and I nodded in agreement. "Good point." I said smiling and said it.
"Oops, my lady, I would like 2 passages, they go to gold and blue Mistresses dormitories, to visit big brother, and friends, and them me in red master's dormitory. Red door has three passageways, one to gold mistress, another to blue mistress and the third in here. So giving adequate time for healer Pomphrey to lock up down here when I'm in recovery. And from over exercise." I said and I felt a shake and Pomona and Filius chuckled at my planning ahead then.
"Our first years, Dora, Penny and Cedric, you can come to our dormitories to visit the kids now, without meeting between classes. Well this presents house unity now, we got the passageways coming into the dorms, so you kids can visit each other." Filius said with a chuckle. "And that's a very clever idea he does it again, and you never told them that there were 3 passageways. From Gryffindor, 2 go to our dorms and the third to the infirmary." Pomona said smiling at that news.
"The Defense Association now, but the members are able to visit each other, this way right now, by the passageways connecting to each other's dorms." I said and he nodded gently. "Then I think the red door is about to create two more two tunnels and going into 3 directions. One down here, the second to Hufflepuff and the third to Ravenclaw now." Minerva said with a gentle smile and he and Pomona nodded in agreement to that remark as Jeff hid a laugh then.
"While I'm spending 8 years deprogramming my house from what they been brainwashed with, until we're great again finally, a house you can be proud of. A house that shows what we were once, you can be great, with hard work and perseverance. Not with money or by blood status, Harry shows that in spades, he's the best of all of us together. All our best traits, he carries all of us together." Slughorn said with a stern smile and she and Filius nodded in agreement then.
"Meaning no one, in your house is getting away with anything, but use of the M word is hereby banned from these school walls starting now, so no one is getting away with anything anymore." Filius said sternly and he nodded. "Show time Horace, the four of us, we're back once again, my friend." Pomona said and he nodded in agreement. "Yeah and Dumbledore is never seeing this coming, that you and Severus switched back, and you're dealing with the miscreant students."
"Flint has gotten really vicious, because Oliver is even better then he is, our first game resulted in him hitting him with the bludger after he caught a second shot." I told him and he nodded sternly. "And your sisters?" he said and she crossed her arms. "He shoved Angelina Johnson's trajectory right into the stands, knocking her unconscious." she said and he nodded sternly. "Yes okay, these assaults and demeaning remarks are ending now." he said sternly to that news.
"This remind you of anything here?" I asked and he nodded with a chuckle then. "Yeah the tubes on playgrounds these things are having the kids working out which tunnel goes where. But to an adult, these tunnels are constant source of aggravation as you can't fit through these tunnels. And when you're a fully grown adult here, but that's 22 tunnels and your tunnel into the dorm, we don't tell them where that one goes, they could walk into Ravenclaw or Hufflepuff here."
"And then try a third time and realize you did that on purpose with them in rehab, before we lock the door on our side and then they realize it finally, while the Patterson gang. That they realize this was a distraction and diversion here, as the barricade on this side. Said is magically enhanced and the red door is locked, as is the gold door." Kristine said and I nodded. "That's just the point, these guys are convinced he's always right." I said and they all nodded gently.
"Just imagine the conversation, 'wait that wasn't there before, where does this go exactly?', and they decide to investigate and walk into one dorm. Before back tracking and coming out to another, before trying a third time and walking in upstairs, and we see them on the platform. And we're looking at them with a bemused smile, 'Going some-where cubs, because that was supposed to be a maze.'." Ben said and Jeff started laughing and nodded and Kristine nodded.
"What about the academy entrance with us up here little mate?" Oliver asked and I smiled. "It's going to be across the lake, and under it, so I can put that one in right now, but the map. It can't trace them all, just the 10 that the entire school knows, that's the original right now. But the updated one has them all." I said and he and Percy exchanged smiles at the news. "Brilliant security measure now, you're a young auror in training here, so this really makes the point."
"Yes indeed, but baby you over did it, you have them so turned around we got this under control here, while these guys are compulsed or acting like they're on drugs. But this was meant to help us arrest these guys, so we got an easier time here right now in truth right now. But really boys, he's not always right, your leader is a megalomaniac, now we need to deprogram you. But don't try to fight us, you're not thinking straight here right now." Cunningham said and I nodded.
"The first 2 are known by them, but the other 12 only by us, nice thinking, baby." Poppy said smiling and Minerva and Ben nodded smiling. "Yeah us and the team, Percy, Ginny, Neville and Lee Jordan." I said and they nodded. "How's that for turn about is fair play, now that I opened up your eyes now to what he really is." I said and they nodded. "Young man, why is there a passageway from the school to my inn?" we heard with a bemused smile and I turned to him.
