Mrs. J.K., I am rushing through the years, I know, but as a reviewer pointed out, they are a bit too young for the fun parts, although they are almost a year older than Harry… meh, a few chapters more and we get to the good stuff, for free even.

Previous:

Sorting was fun, Astoria sorted first, when she sat down she said: "That hat told me to say hello to you, what is your explanation about that?" I shrugged: "We are mates."

Luna sat next to Astoria: "Harry? What is Truck San and Isekai?" I answered: "For that answer, you need to wait six years, can you wait that long?" Luna nodded.

When Ginny got sorted in Ravenclaw, everything got silent. shy, she went to our table, I stood up and applauded: "Well done Ginny! You broke the curse! You moved to the front part of the beast!"

All three started laughing out loud. When everyone looked at me for an explanation I said: "Griffins are part Eagle and part lion, we are called eagles, and they are the lions, get it?"

4. Year Two. A whole year.

Looking at their clueless faces I said: "I'll explain later." Anyway, there was no flying car incoming, no diary, no Lockheart… Is this year going to be boring? Ah! I forgot the basilisk! That is one for next weekend.

Dumbledore had some serious dents in his reputation this summer, he got sacked from his Wizengamot job and was on the verge of losing his other side job at the ICW. He totally lost his sparkle. He is still sitting on that throne and wearing those gaudy robes.

Penelope went with us upstairs, she still has a nice ass and legs, the firsties are taking the long road up so they can take their time to answer their question.

The doorknob asked: "What is the sound of one hand clapping?" I sighed, went to the knob, and gave it a slap, I asked: "Did you hear it right, or do you want to hear it again?" The door opened, my answers are always unexpected, the girls giggled when they entered the dorm. Except for Hermione, as a muggle-born, she learned about eastern philosophy and was stunned that I answered one of their enigmas.

At breakfast, Flitwick handed the timetables out, and behold! We are taking the brunt of our classes with the snakes. I asked around, and all the upper year has most classes with the Puffs, I checked the timetable of the firsties, they have most classes with the Puffs too.

With a big sigh, I went to the head table and asked Flitwick: "Sir? Is it normal that only our year is partnered up with Slytherin? The other years are all partnered up with Hufflepuff, is there a reason for this?"

Flitwick answered: "The schedules of the students are done by the headmaster and Deputy Headmistress Mr. Potter."

I looked sadly at him: "I see." I turned around and got back to our table. I said to Daphne and Tracey: "You can alert them, this is another set-up."

And behold! Potions as the first class! When we entered the classroom, we took our seats, I partnered up with Hermione, she will be the primary target because she dared to be more intelligent than the proper purebloods.

Snape started with small barbs at know-it-alls, criticizing Ravens and glorifying his Snakes, halfway through, I noticed Malfoy throwing something at Hermione's cauldron. I intercepted it and studied the object.

I said out loud: "Heir Malfoy if this would enter Miss Granger's cauldron, it would explode and cover me with acid fluids. Tell me Heir Malfoy, are you attacking House Potter?"

Draco back paddled, House Potter, stood too strong to attack it directly: "No Heir Potter, I don't want to attack your House."

Snape came to his rescue: "Potter, stop flaunting for attention, by falsely accusing your classmates. That will be ten points from Ravenclaw."

I shrugged: "That will be another dispute... sir. I think you already forgot about last year."

Daphne spoke up: "Sir, I officially notify you that we won't attend your class anymore, the rules allow us to hire a private teacher if we find the Hogwarts teacher incompetent. Everyone that wants to join us is welcome, even Slytherins." All Ravenclaws stood up and left the room, Pansy and Milli wanted but did not dare to follow.

The news that the second-year claws left their potion class spread like wildfire. At lunch, Daphne and Tracey approached Flitwick, Tracey handed a stack of papers and said: "Professor Flitwick, we officially contest the teaching abilities of Severus Snape. We hired a private teacher to teach everyone that is tired of that hateful man.

The rules state that you must provide a proper classroom, if you do not, we will take those classes in Hogsmeade. Please inform the headmaster of this. We hired Mrs. Andromeda Tonks nee Black, a certified potion mistress. Good day sir."

Flitwick let his head hang down, normally those types sort in Slytherin or Griffindor. He went to Dumbledore and said: "You pushed them too far Albus, so did Severus. Heiress Davis with her Allies hired a private teacher to teach potions, and invite everyone that is tired of Severus. I am afraid that leaves him only with his Slytherins."

He looked at McGonagall: "Minerva, they are demanding a proper potion classroom. If I were you I would brush up on the school rules."

Snape fumed: "They can't do that! I am the potion Professor!"

Something snapped in Flitwick: "No you are not a Professor Severus! You can brew potions but are an incompetent teacher! If it wasn't for Albus' protection you would have been arrested for your behavior in class. I advise you to watch your mouth in my presence because I ran out of patience with you."

Dumbledore tried to mend some fences: "Filius, I am certain we can solve this without having other people coming in."

Flitwick glared at Dumbledore: "It is too late for that Albus, it is your own fault to let Severus get away with his behavior and abuse. My students don't come to me anymore to complain about him, because you are protecting him. Now they follow the Potter alliance because they get things done."

Students from all houses came to sign up for Andromeda's potion class, even some Slytherins.

Andromeda came the next day and promptly demanded another room: "Deputy Headmistress, the rule book stated you are to provide a proper classroom, not a damp dungeon. I suggest stopping sabotaging my class McGonagall, you are walking on thin ice."

Andromeda was popular overnight, her teaching was clear, her explanations were eyeopeners, Neville was in heaven. With his new confidence, he advanced from a low A to a high E

We picked our weekend routine back up, an hour after dinner was spent with the three of us at the beach. We discussed Luna, I said: "It seems she is standing with one foot in the present and one in the future."

I told them what happened in the train compartment, I concluded: "I don't know if she is a real Seer, but she knows some parts of the future. It will make her a target for bullies with her dream-like behavior."

Daphne commented: "It will not go that far, everyone noticed you are friendly with those three, one of them is my sister, so they will watch their steps."

Tracey said: "You are Ginny's Hero, Harry, you destroyed that howler from her mum and dictated one back to her mum in front of all the Ravenclaws, telling her that being smart is not a reason to yell at her daughter. Even the twins came to support and comfort her."

Astoria came up: "Astoria saw us kissing on my birthday, is she going to use that information? What if she wants to attend the meetings from the Alliance?"

Daphne was troubled: "We did not name the members of our Houses in the contract. I kind of like this hour on the beach, with Astoria we have to move it to a normal room. Astoria will not blackmail us with those kisses, but tease us a lot."

Tracey sighed: "I think we need to involve our study group and invite them in here. Too bad, I wanted to keep this a secret a little longer."

I smiled: "I have a way to keep it a secret. We can open a pathway to an empty corridor and let them come in from there, that will keep the head entrance a secret a little longer. The one that first imagined the room has control of it or he can allow others too."

I looked at their excited faces: "We can configure a study hall with a practice section and a small library, we let them sign a contract to keep this room a secret until we release the secret ourselves."

Daphne nodded: "It is in their own interest to keep it a secret, or others will claim its use. Tracey and I will set the contract up. You design the room."

I concentrated, I pictured a hall in two sections, one with tables and comfortable chairs, at a wall a library with a section for every topic, some couches to relax at a fireplace. The other section has a dressing room with workout clothes and showers, a wall lined with training dummies, items for Transfiguration and runes, some treadmills, and fitness benches. A swimming pool with a diving board finished the job. Although I only provided one-piece swimming suits.

Tracey commented when they inspected the room: "You still want to peek at other girls?"

I gave her a one-armed hug and said: "Tracey, these outfits are considered modest in the muggle world. The bikinis you wore last year are seen as normal in communal swimming pools. On the Mediterranean beaches, being topless is looked at as normal, ask Hermione if you don't believe me. On some private beaches, you can even drop everything and walk around naked. But if you object to the pool I'll remove it."

Daphne inspected the bathing one-pieces and said: "No Harry, you are right, if muggles consider this modest, then I am ok with it. There are muggle-born and half-bloods in our group that will appreciate a swimming pool, after all, we only have showers in Hogwarts…. Harry? A section with bathtubs please."

I locked the configuration in my mindscape after I imagined the prefect's bathroom.

It is Basilisk time! Winky put twenty roosters in a room of my apartment trunk before we stepped on the train, with enough food and water for two weeks, she put a calming potion in their water or they would fight each other to death.

After breakfast, I entered Myrtle's bathroom, and looked for the sink, I found the little snake motive and: §Open, stairs§ there is no way Slytherin is using a slide. I closed the sink after myself and walked downstairs. Along the way, I saw the shed snake skin, and I was glad I took a shit an hour before, otherwise, I would crap my pants. That was a huge skin!

To be honest, my courage was dropping fast, I began to doubt my mental health, I forgot to make a will, and I don't want to be a fucking Hero anymore!

I arrived at the big door with the snakes on, my heart pounded like crazy like it does when you see your girlfriend naked for the first time and are allowed to proceed. I checked my roosters, I gave them normal water last night to get them in shape.

I gathered the last bits of my courage: §open§ armed with a mirror I entered the chamber, unloaded the roosters spread out around the ugly statue, lighted the room up with an overpowered Lumos, and waited for the first ones to start crowing: §Open for… the Lord of Slytherin!§ the ugly statue opened his mouth, while I hid in a corner with my mirror, and continued casting compulsion charms on the roosters to crow, silently promising them that if his works, they get a job in a chicken farm fertilizing the hens for the rest of their lives.

I can't believe it worked! Basi got crowd! He didn't even make it out of the statue. I heard him trashing until it was silent. Meanwhile, those roosters were crowing their lungs out, it was deafening.

I put mirrored glasses on and made my way into the mouth of the statue after first throwing some roosters in it.

That is one hell of a big ass snake… How do I get that transported outside? It weighs as much as an elephant! I covered the eyes, yep medusa could petrify you even when dead, so I recon this one can do it too.

Two hours later my apartment was filled with a basilisk and twenty roosters. For safety, I claimed the corps and all the spoils in the rooms as mine with the usual so mote it be. A nice flash later, I am the proud owner of a big ass snake and a filthy room.

I called Winky and asked: "Winky? Can you come into this chamber if I am not in here?" Winky answered: "This is Masters room. Master claimed the room so Winky can come here." Nice, I took the roosters back out and said: "These roosters did a good job, find a few chicken farms and put them in there so they can have fun.. after that, can you clean this place up and see if you can find some snake motives on the floor or walls.

Also, gather all shed skins and inform Lord Greengrass that I need a visit from him and Madam Bones. Show the skins to Lord Greengrass and tell him I killed the snake."

Winky was ecstatic with the filthy room, she was bored at Greengrass Manor and this was elf Heaven.

Now, do I feel like a Hero? As long as I don't show the memory I am. After showing? Meh, then I am cunning, strategic, cowardly… fuck you, did you see the size of that beast? HUGE!

I made my way upstairs and opened the sink, right in front of a couple that was getting past third base and was working to a home run. I closed the sink, nodded to them both, and left the bathroom.

Late in the afternoon, Madam Bones arrived with a squad of Aurors and Lord Greengrass and walked straight to the headmaster's office. I was with our study group in the classroom we claimed last year.

An elf popped in and said: "Master Slythi needs to go to mister whiskers." Master Slythi? I looked at Daphne and Tracey: "We can always leave if there is nobody else."

We made our way to the headmaster's office, at the bottom of the stairs were two Aurors stationed, one of them said: "Only Mr. Potter is allowed upstairs." I shrugged: "Call me when they are allowed to." and turned away.

Ten minutes later the elf came calling again: "Master Slythi must come, you may bring the Mistresses." Mistresses? Anyway, we strolled back to the headmaster's office and entered.

I greeted everyone: "Lord Greengrass, thank you for responding so fast, Madam Bones, you become more lovely each day. Aurors hello. What can I do for you today?"

Dumbledore: "Harry my boy…" I stopped him: "You are getting senile old man. It is Heir Potter to you, only in function of school business are you allowed to call me Mr. Potter. Get that into your head once and for all. And why is that grease ball here and my head of house not? I am getting tired of your games."

I turned to Madam Bones and asked: "What can I do for you here Madam Bones? I wanted to have a private meeting with you and Lord Greengrass without Albus and Snape."

Madam Bones had to control her face to prevent a grin: "We want that you confirm to have killed a class six animal that had access to the school."

I nodded: "After Snape is gone... Finally! Well, I can confirm it, although it needs a parselmouth to let it enter. It did fifty years ago when it killed Myrtle Warren. You may know her as moaning Myrtle. I took a stroll to its lair and killed it."

Dumbledore stood up and asked you killed the basilisk?"

I shook my head and said: "I killed a Class six animal. What made you think it was a basilisk? Unless you knew fifty years ago what animal it was and let Hagrid get arrested for possessing an acromantula pet. Also in all of your years as a headmaster, you never made an effort to prove Hagrid's innocence. Is that enough Madam Bones? The headmaster is getting on my last nerves, he still did not return all of my possessions and heirlooms. Oh, maybe this is a good time to demand them back. Albus, return my cloak immediately. You have it here in your office. Speed it up old man! A thief deserves no respect from me."

Madam Bones: "Mr. Dumbledore? Do you have House Potter Heirlooms? That is a crime and a grave show of disrespect towards the sacrifice of Heir Potters' parents."

Dumbledore was cornered: "I kept it safe for the time he would graduate and of age." He handed my cloak to me.

I looked Dumbledore in the eyes and asked: "Do you think my parents are going to be gentle when you arrive upstairs? Madam Bones can we do this somewhere private?" Lord Greengrass noticed that the girls and I held our wands in our hands all the time.

We left the office and entered an empty classroom, I asked, can someone silence the paintings and check for listening spells? I have to remove them from me each day. Is there an elf in the room?" one elf became visible. I said: "You can go to the kitchen and help out thank you."

At the surprised look from everyone I said: "He has spies everywhere. Now Madam Bones, I did kill a basilisk single-handed, with twenty roosters as a weapon. I claimed the carcass and all spoils in the room. My House elf confirmed it by saying that even the room is mine, in other words, I think I claimed the Slytherin Lordship. The Hogwarts elves call me Master Slythi now."

I unshrank my trunk and showed the carcass in my apartment. Everyone was shocked by the size of it.

Cyrus: "Harry? What possessed you to go after it alone? That is a big monster. What are you going to do with it?"

Well, I was hoping you and Jacob could render it and sell the parts for a five percent commission. It would be a nice nest egg for us. Madam Bones can I show the chamber when Winky is done cleaning? It is a bit messy now."

Madam Bones came to her senses: "That would be fine Heir Potter. I suggest a visit to Gringotts to confirm your claim on House Slytherin. With the ring, you have a say in the policies of the school." I gave my trunk to Cyrus and asked to let Winky return it.

Daphne and Tracey dragged me to the RoR, Tracey demanded: "Explain why you went down there? Alone?" Now I have to bullshit my way out of this.

"As I said, I discovered the entrance because of Myrtle. Went down there and saw the skin was from a basilisk, I asked Winky to bring twenty roosters, killed the snake, and going to get a fortune selling it. Your parents are not even going to cheat on the sales, because the money goes to their little princesses."

And this was the compliment of the day, as is written in the contract.

Xxxxx

School life settled, the weekend after my kill, I claimed House Slytherin at Gringotts. Dumbledore was walking on eggshells after that and started to avoid me. To be certain, I ordered the elves to only put nutrient potions in our food or drinks, nothing else. Madam Bones and Croaker paid a visit to the chamber, too bad for the old goat, Winky popped them in.

October had two birthday girls, celebrating the fact that they again are a year older than me. Their bikinis had less fabric when we went to the RoR for a private hour. They asked and got a good snog for their birthday present.

After Halloween, we introduced our study group to the option to train in a secret room. To keep the room secret they need to sign a student contract to keep the room a secret.

Daphne explained: "If we reveal the room, we don't have a chance to enter anymore, because the Owl and Newt students will claim it for themselves. The contract will not harm you or take your magic, it will just prevent you from talking about it when others are nearby"

When everyone signed it I left the room while Tracey said I am going to make a doorway. A few minutes later a door appeared at the back of our study room, curious they entered. Hermione rushed to the bookshelves, others explored the rooms first. We demonstrated all the functions and limitations. They forgot everything when they discovered the bath, as the only boy in the group, they said to take a shower and chased me out.

It is unnerving to be the only boy in here, I asked several boys to join, but they view this as a way to get depressed, all the highest scoring girls are in it, should they join, it would make them feel stupid, even those dumb asses from my year. A lot of firsties joined, and some third years, you guessed it, all were females. I saw someone check if I didn't turn in one too. The doorway stayed open while we were in there. If someone who did not sign went in, they ended up two floors lower and think it is just a shortcut, one of many

Ferret boy, after finding out I am Lord Slytherin faded into the background. So were the junior death eaters.

Christmas break was a reason for Sirius to visit me. After a trip to Gringotts, Andromeda and the Tonkses were in, and Bella found herself divorced and her vault confiscated, I advised Sirius to let a team of curse breakers go over her stuff or something nasty could happen.

They found Hufflepuffs cup of course.

Sirius set his house in order, he made me his Heir, not for long I think, he was shagging his nurses, so he will have puppies soon.

Xxxxx

Sirius reclaimed the Malfoy Manor, which used to be the Black Manor, and all its elves as a penalty for refusing to give aid to her Lord. Narcissa refused to help Sirius out of Askaban, so I got Dobby as a present, along with the House on Grimmauld place, I might have hinted I wanted a house in London.

When Sirius let me get ownership of the house, I let Kreacher do his tale about Master Regy. It healed Sirius, knowing his brother died as a good man I ordered Kreacher to give the locket to Croaker with a letter from me asking to let the elf witness the destruction.

When Daphne and Tracey entered their future home their eyes shined, they started immediately ordering Winky, Dobby, and Kreacher around to shape the house to their taste. The in-laws came to inspect their princesses' new crib, friends visited to inspect their future hang-out, and Walburga reiterated to the attic to avoid all that crap.

Hermione begged us to let her move in, just until she read every book in the Black Library. I felt sorry for her parents and let her borrow a stack to take home with her.

The year passed by very fast, as usual, Hermione topped our year, Padma and Daphne followed closely by Tracey and I, Susan Bones and Hannah with Su Li all members of our study group. The gap was even clearer now that we had our training room. It showed with the firsties too. Luna, Astoria, and Ginny were the leading ladies on the scoreboard.

The Owl results from Andromeda's class shattered Snape's reputation. Where Snape scrapes three or four students with an O for potions each year, Andromeda, managed to get twenty students an O and eight an E+

When the board of Governors saw the results, they terminated Snape's contract and hired Andromeda. Dumbledore's protests, and calling in favors did not help. The difference was too big.

Ron? I am afraid that Ron has to repeat his year.

Ginny jumped in my arms and thanked me for five minutes, in the presence of Daphne and Tracey, of course.

Luna jumped in my arms and thanked me for making Hogwarts bearable, in the presence of Daphne and Tracey, of course.

Astoria… I held my hand up and pointed to Daphne: "Jump her instead." pouting, she hugged Daphne.

The train ride home was a hoot, our third-year students with Cho Chang in charge expanded the compartment to fit us all. I was wedged between Tracey and Daphne, of course.

We made agreements to visit our home to practice, arranging for adult presence all the time, I wanted to ask Tonks but Tonks was living in Black Manor to babysit Sirius, his nurses left him when they found out he was shooting blanks.

His years in Askaban did a number on him. I told him to help jobless witches out otherwise they end up in crime or prostitution. Soon, word went out of Padfoot's sanctuary. It prevented him from getting depressed and it helped a lot of young witches and wizards.

Sirius and I, along with my girls, invested in several farms and companies, even started some up, we employed the witches and wizards, even sponsoring their muggle education. Theodore Tonks was hired to handle the muggle side, My parents-in-law did the wizarding side. it seems to look like we are philanthropists, but we calculated to make a profit in two years.

At the end of summer, we took Winky apart: "Winky, you know that I said to wait until I am sixteen, but with this house, if you make, with the help of Dobby and Kreacher, some nice rooms fit for elves and their children, then Winky, you can have babies of your own."

Tracey asked: "How many babies are you planning Winky?" I don't think Winky heard her, she was sobbing while holding my legs eventually Winky answered: "Winky does not know, two or three."

Daphne smiled: "We wish you good luck in finding a good mate. You are a hardworking, loyal and pretty elf, you will have beautiful children."

Meh, if Dobby wants to fuck her, he has to work for it, I am not going to demand Winky to breed with him. If they do? Good for him. Now I am picturing Winky shagging her way through the male elf population.

My birthday kiss became a birthday snog with wandering hands, we noticed that Astoria is developing a peeping tom habit. Meh, it gives her something to do.

Two weeks before September, Ginny came crying to us, telling us that she is getting homeschooled because there was no money for her education.

I suspect Dumbledore stopped sponsoring, now that he lost his grip on his puppets. I arranged a meeting with Arthur and made a student loan agreement. For the moment he could only afford Percy and the twins. Ron's bad results made the decision for homeschooling easier, a pretty pure-blood girl like Ginny will always find a husband.

That makes our decision harder, they are a package deal. In the end, I had a harsh conversation with Ron about fantasy and reality, I made myself clear: "Keep your grades up or you go to Aunt Muriel, I am not going to pay for a lazy slob that doesn't even bother to open his books.

Even I must work hard to keep up with Daphne and Tracey. So look for a goal to work for and start studying."

Daphne and Tracey talked with Molly, and let her agree that we will arrange Ginny's school equipment and clothing, so there is more money for the boys.

Xxxxx

On the train to Hogwarts Ginny cried in my arms again. Bloody uncomfortable when there is a busload of girls watching you.
