Hey everyone,
This chapter is going to change the lives of all the attackers, the Chasers, the Weasley elders, the culprit behind the curse on the Goblet and, of course, Sirius and his new goddaughter. However, I also intend to change things up for Remus, Minerva and all of Gryffindor, though the way I intend this, I think you will greatly enjoy.
Merry Christmas,

Chapter 03
Lady Hogwarts Speaks

1st of November 1994
Great Hall, Hogwarts
Dumbledore's POV

The fact that Sirius is now soon to be a free man and that Harry has gotten out of all the drama that comes with being famous made sure I actually slept better than I expected after all the drama and concerns I have felt for most of the night and now I am more than ready to find out what Lady Hogwarts has planned.
Minerva and I made sure that the four Heads of House were to be inside the Great Hall before anyone else and when they were certain that all of their students were awake, did I use the Sonorus charm to speak to all of Hogwarts and say: "All students report to the Great Hall, please! Important news will be relayed today!"
And when House Gryffindor comes down, does Minerva use the same charm and says: "Hold it! Those who got a new dorm last night move into the Hall first. The rest remains behind. No Mr. McLaggen, you will sit here at the Head Table side of your Table. Same for all those with a new dorm. Move along NOW!"
And while the Lions look shocked, does McLaggen then start to smirk along with Ronald and the rest of the attackers do as asked. Minerva then guides the rest of her students to the Gryffindor Table, but to my pride, does she make sure that there are several seats empty between the attackers and the lions that had been held captive.

Then the rest of the school is seated, the foreigners glaring at the attacking lions to prove that Igor and Olympe have told them what happened and I know things need to be cleared up soon before glares potentially become curses. And then I find something out I really never expected in all of my years of tenure as Headmaster.
I stand up and say: "Students, good morning. Allow me to apologize for ordering you to the Great Hall before you can get ready for another day of classes, but important news has come to light in regards to various events that transpired last night. Especially events that took place after the Four Champion names were called out.
However, the news of these events will not be relayed by myself or my staff. As some of you may know, Hogwarts truly is a magical castle, in the sense that magic has been performed inside her halls long enough that she has gained a sentient existence, an entity that comes to the aid of the staff whenever she feels necessary.
However, last night, Lady Hogwarts didn't come to the aid of the teachers, she called on the aid of the teachers, in order to stop a serious transgression from taking place. Further information, I will leave to her sentient being. Please give an honorable welcome to the sentient being of our fine school, Lady Hogwarts herself."
And with that, do I sit down and feel the energy that allows me to move leave my form together with a bit of my magic. And while this makes it so I can only blink and breath while in my seat, does a gorgeous female entity appear from the many sparkling lights that leave my body and solidify into this form behind the owl stand.

Lady Hogwarts' POV

I know that many of the students here wonder why I only acted last night and not two years ago with the Chamber or the Dementors and hate the fact that enough dark or malevolent magic can severe my connection with the Headmaster, regardless of how powerful he or she might be. But I ignore this and focus on the task at hand.
"Greetings, students, staff, guests and – imposters." And with that and a snap of my fingers does the seat of the fake Alastor Moody get encased by large stone plagues that make sure his staff falls to the side and that only his neck and head remain uncovered. The man's good eye widens, but I snarl: "You don't fool the one you live in, pall."
And instantly I spot Minerva turning a worried glance at Albus before I decide to give in to the teenage side within me that has been developed thanks to all the teenagers that have come and gone over the centuries. I snap my fingers again and Moody's famous flask appears in front of the self-absorbed Hermione Granger.
"Mss. Granger, why don't you tell the school what's in that flask? I'm sure a scent like that is one you and your compatriot, Ronald, won't be forgetting anytime soon." The girl looks shocked, but then a large grin of pride adorns her face. That is until she actually sniffs the drink and gasps: "Wait, that's – that's – Polyjuice Potion."

And I send a smirk of my own her way as I say: "An imposter pretending to be a world-renowned Auror and using Dark Magic to bring chaos into your former best friend's life. Sure sounds a lot more plausible than your little theory of your former best friend lying to you about his lack of a desire to join the Tournament, don't you think?"
And the girl looks shocked as I say: "I've had millions of students walk my halls, Mss. Granger. I know how they think and I can be just as vicious as them. However, your pride and ego just aren't worth my time, not when so many other, more worthy students, deserve what I have to tell them about your actions last night."
And the girl looks at me flabbergasted before I tell her friend: "Oh, and Ronald, Mr. McLaggen? The only reason Minerva gave you special treatment, was so she could enchant the empty seats to keep you from doing to your fellow Lions what you did to your former best friend last night. It wasn't because you deserved special treatment."
The two look shocked and I smirk as I say: "Go ahead. Try and reach for one of the students on the other side. I know what spells Minerva used to prevent that and I fully approve." Yet the two and their seat partners seem to have lost the spunk and courage they had last night and just keep looking at me, making me shrug.

"Very well then, less time for me to be bothered, only better. Anyway –." I clear my throat and turn to the rest of the school as I say: "As I'm sure you've noticed, those of Beauxbattons and Durmstrang are already aware of what I will be telling you. And may I just say, I very much approve of their response to having heard this.
Allow me to recap what most of you do know. Last night something made me call on Albus, Minerva, Igor, Olympe and Severus to get to Gryffindor common room. Something that resulted in Severus visiting the other three Houses and gathering many students with proper Potions making skills to come to the Hospital Wing.
The reason? The group you see sitting here attacked Harry Potter in the belief that he lied to them when he told them the same thing he told Albus and the others; that he had no idea how his name got out of the Goblet and that he didn't do it or asked a fellow student to do it. That attack resulted – in Harry Potter's death."
And gasps and cries of horror ring through the entire Great Hall before Ronald jumps up and shouts: "You're lying! Harry always survives everything! He survived the bloody Killing Curse! He –." But then a female voice shrieks: "HE'S DEAD, RONALD BILLIUS! HE'S DEAD AND YOU AND YOUR SISTER KILLED HIM!"

And Ronald's mouth drops when he sees Molly, Arthur and William storm into the Great Hall. Yet before Molly can reach her son, do the twins jump up and say: "Mum, just let Lady Hogwarts continue. She'll handle that traitorous bastard." And while Molly seems reluctant, does she let her sons lead her away.
"We're not doing this for you, Ronald." Fred then says and George goes on: "We're doing this for her." And while I have no doubt that everyone believes that he means his mother, do I fight my smirk as I know they mean little Mss. Potter instead. The same Mss. Potter who I know will wake in about an hour time or so.

I then focus back on the Great Hall and say: "Yes, Harry Potter is dead. Fred and George managed to get him to Poppy safely, but Poppy herself was out of all of the required potions and making them would take 4 hours to more. And due to Potter being allergic to many Pain Relievers, would the injuries kill him in 3 hours.
However, I have an important – though you may not directly understand why – question. Who here was disappointed when Harry Potter came to Hogwarts – and did not live up to the legend you knew about him for years?" And while many students look shocked, confused and uncomfortable, do many hands rise nonetheless.
I nod at them all and ask: "And who would like a chance to continue believing in the Boy-Who-Lived legend?" To which Cedric asks: "How can we do that if Harry Potter died on the night he became famous in the first place?" And I settle all their concerns as I say: "By believing in the legend – and letting Mss. Potter live her life."

And at this I can practically feel the shock and confusion become palpable in the air of the Great Hall before Mss. Bell shouts: "So that's why there was an extra bed in my dorm when I woke up!" At which I happily nod and say: "Yes dear, Albus believed you being friends with Mss. Potter would help her feel better.
Hope you don't mind, Mss. Brown." Yet the girl in question sighs and says: "I don't deserve to share a dorm with her anyway. It wouldn't be right, seeing as how my other two dorm mates were part of the attack. It would just give her nightmares. I'm glad the Headmaster made this decision. It was the right one to make."
She then turns to Mss. Bell and mutters: "Please, take good care of her." And while Mss. Bell nods, do I smile at them both as I say: "Words well spoken, Mss. Bell. And now for the one thing I am sure you and your House have been waiting for all night. What I intend to do to punish those that thought attacking a single student was right."

Everyone looks at me at this, the faces of many a Gryffindor proving my words true and I start to pace as I know I will have a lot to say in this regard. "First of all, last night's actions were so horrendous, many would believe that expulsion would be the only suitable punishment. I believe expulsion is an easy way out punishment.
No, these transgressors need to stay here, where they can feel the full brunt of their actions and the consequences. However, I don't trust them to try and perform their actions on other innocent bystanders, so I have decided that they can no longer be considered Gryffindors – at least not in the full sense of the word."
This shocks those seated up front at the Lion Table and I go on: "From now on, there will be a new Sub-House, so to say, at Hogwarts. This Sub-House will be for those who broke the Hogwarts rules fiercely enough they should be expelled, but where expulsion would, again, be an easy way out. Instead, they will be Grounded."
By now several of the older transgressors are white with horror and yet I ignore this, pacing as I say: "Those that are Grounded will be punished by having several rights taken from them, followed by a few other rights being potentially removed if they push any member of staff far enough to decide they deserve this.

Visits to Hogsmeade, the Quidditch pitch, the Tasks, the Yule Ball and the Library are revoked. Madam Pince will allow those still in your former House to take books with them, but if you complain about said books, Madam Pince will be allowed to revoke this right for a day, week, fortnight, month and finally semester.
Also, if your complaint comes on the final day of one semester, Madam Pince will be allowed to have the punishment take place in the following semester, let that be clear. Also, try-outs and chances for gaining the Prefect, Head Boy or Girl or Team Captain badge are nullified. And finally will there be two more punishments."
The former Lions by now look white with horror and shock, while the others are cringing at how harsh their fellow students are being punished and I ask: "Mss. Supers, what is Gryffindor's current point total?" And while the girl is reluctant and even hesitant, does she answer: "Four Hundred and Eighty-nine, Lady Hogwarts."
To this I quickly do the math and say: "Then I hereby take 978 points from Gryffindor. And the Grounded students are suspended from earning points for a fortnight." Yet this is the wrong thing to say as it seems to give Granger her bravado back and she shouts: "But then Gryffindor will never win anything back again!"

Yet at this I just stare at her and ask: "You do realize you just insulted an entire House of students, right Granger?" And the girl turns red as she looks at her table mortified before I mutter: "You better sit down now. Especially considering the fact that I still have one punishment left to explain, a potential one, that is."
And while the girl seems mortified that there is more, does she sit down and I say: "Like with the library and the day system, are there two more events in which this system can work. One of them will be the Grounds where, if you are punished this way, Hagrid and Pomona will escort you from and to their respective classes.
Otherwise, you are not to enter the Grounds – and seeing the Quidditch, Task and Hogsmeade ban, you don't really have a reason to go out, do you? Either way, the other event in which this can count is classes. And no, trying to get this system to work for a class you don't like won't happen; I will ensure that myself, just so you all know."

At this some of the transgressors look grim and defeated and I decide to finish things up as I say: "And now for the final bits of news. The first is the name for this new Sub-House. Due to the events of last night – and the significance of the date on which they transpired, did I decide on a name and Founder symbolic to last night's actions.
Or better said, symbolic to Mss. Weasley, Mss. Granger and Mr. Weasley's actions. And while this may, for now, only be known to a select few, do I want to make one thing clear. I, Lady Hogwarts, hereby swear that Peter Pettigrew was a traitor to House Potter and the cause of Lily and James Potter being murdered.
On my magic I swear, on my essence so mote it be." And while this drops many of the mouths in the Great Hall, do I feel the Great Hall responding to my oath, causing for the torches to light up and for the candles to burst into flames and start floating a little higher. Everyone looks at this and I say: "That should prove my point."

"But, what does this have to do with the – oooooooh." Cedric then says and I smile at him as I say: "Exactly, Mr. Diggory. Oh, and you will be happy to know that Mr. Weasley, Mss. Weasley and Mss. Granger's actions, alongside Mss. Potter's near death experience, caused for the contract making her a Champion to cancel itself."
"WHAT? BUT HOW? THE BRAT LIVED! HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE!" The fake Moody screams and I glare at him as I say: "It's possible, because Mss. Potter didn't just change gender. Her magical core and signature were changed as well. The Goblet noticed this before she died and didn't recognize her signature after she was revived.
So when she died, the contract got cancelled and when she was revived, the Goblet didn't see this as a reason to revive her contract as well as her signature didn't match that on the contract. So sorry, but your plans failed on the day they started coming to fruition. And I will do what I can to ensure that keeps happening, thank you."
And while the bastard starts snarling, does my hold on him stand and I ignore him as I turn back to the students and say: "Therefore, I would like to announce that, from this day forward, Hogwarts will have a Sub-House that will be known as the Hyena House; the House Founded by the betrayal of Peter Pettigrew, its Founder in essence."

And with a snap of my fingers and a grin on my face, do I force the trims on the robes of the transgressors to change from red to Grey, for the mascot on their robes to change from a Lion to a Hyena and for the shield in the Hyena's paws to turn from red and gold to grey and dark brown, shocking the wearers.
"You – you – you – YOU CAN'T DO THIS!" Ronald then snarls and I ask: "Just like you can't trick your best friend into constantly taking out money or how your sister can't read a book that is on the British Banned literature list?" And both Weasleys turn white with shock as I say: "Yes, Minerva and I know all about that."
I then turn to the woman in question and say: "And speaking of you, Minerva, I would like to make you a special offer, one that will help Albus with his newcomer and the newcomer's probation problem as well." And this makes the woman look at her favorite colleague quite confused, yet makes Severus smirk in acceptance.
I then turn to the fake Moody with a smirk as I say: "For you see, you faker. The DADA curse has struck again and your employment here has been permanently terminated, but it's not just your position that requires a few, shall we say, changes for the better." And while the man glares at me with both eyes, do I turn my back on him.

"Students of Hogwarts, now that you know that Peter Pettigrew, who was supposedly murdered by Sirius Black, was a killer and a traitor, are you willing to give Sirius Black a chance, with the promise that this chance equals his probation term?" This makes much muttering ring through the Great Hall and then Fleur Delacour asks:
"Will it help you, perhaps, to know that France never agreed with your Minister on making the hunt for Monsieur Black an International search and that they never joined in on said search? We do not know who Monsieur Black is, but our Ministry voiced their disbelief of his sentence based on his record until before his arrest."
And while I can tell that the girl is clearly using her Veela allure to make the more weak-minded of the boys here agree with her, do I not stop her as I am quite sure that my next message will seal the deal and I say: "Not to mention that he has actually been at Hogwarts since last night and was called on by Potter when he was on his death-bed."

This makes many of the muttering students look at me shocked and I turn to Gryffindor Table as I say: "Sirius agreed on the probation on a few terms. One, that his probation ended by the end of the year and two, that little Mss. Potter was allowed to remain his main focus and concern. And after agreeing, did he give Albus two orders.
One, the Weasley twins are to be Mss. Potter's personal bodyguards until her endurance levels, her physical and her mental and emotional strength have returned to acceptable levels. And two, the Chasers of Gryffindor are to help her adjust to the life as a girl, no exceptions on what makes a girl stand out from a boy."
At this the Gryffindors in question look at each other and then I decide to take one last action as I can actually sense that Mss. Potter is about to wake and I really want this team of five to head there, but not before they know everything I wish to inform them as they will, later on, need to rely onto their new friend and team mate.

"Now, as I'm sure you remember, I mentioned Minerva when I started on all this and I did not do this without reason. Minerva, I know you and I know you have a mean streak the size of my castle's lifespan. How would you like to become the new Warden of the Hyena House? Do know that if you say yes, concessions must be made."
The woman hesitates at this and I say: "Concessions such as you transferring the rights of Head of Gryffindor House and Transfigurations Teacher to our good old friend, Professor R.J. Lupin, while his friend, Mr. I'm On Probation Black –." This causes snickering and giggles all round as I finish: "To become the new DADA teacher."
And while the woman starts to grimace at this, does Severus shock her as he says: "Good way to have Black's probation last until the end of the year and give him an excuse to be close to Mss. Potter. Plus, old responsibility traded in for a chance to enforce the belief that the new Sub-House is made for punishment? Sounds like a nice trade."
The man smirks, his smirk partially due to how much he shocks the others in the staff and then Minerva stutters before she regains herself and says: "If even Severus is on board, who am I to complain?" To which I say: "You heard it here, Hogwarts. Hope you enjoy your new DADA and Transfigurations teachers.
Oh and Gryffindor Quidditch team? Please head for the Hospital Wing, your Seeker is about to wake up." And with that do I let my body dissolve, let Albus' energy become my form once more and do I feel it retreating into his ancient body. Yet as the man gasps and regains himself, does his gasp cover up my fingers snapping one last time.

Hey everyone,
So, that happened. The Hyena House is now a thing, the attackers are now part of this House, their new dorm ensures Mss. Potter's safety when in Gryffindor, Crouch got caught, Minerva has been appointed a new role and both a new teacher has returned to a different position along with a new teacher taking his old job.
Next chapter, the Potter female awakes. And I know the title of the story is her official new name, but I just love writing it down like this. Also, please know that, while I do intend to make her look really, really hot, I am still not entirely sure how to describe her looks. The best way I can would be Tori from the series of Victorious.
Merry Christmas,
