"That man is surely insulting himself. I think your glasses have a translation spell on them Harry" Remus said as he calmed down. Soon, they finished their homework and went out to explore the castle, starting from the back lake.
The six of them were walking down, they spotted Hagrid who was working in a pumpkin patch and just leaving. "Excuse me sir? You were the one who took us through the lake right?" James asked eagerly.
"Yes boy I am. Who might ya be? I am Hagrid, the groundskeeper" Hagrid said. "Oh! We were planning on exploring the grounds as we had the rest of the day free Hagrid. I am Harry and those are James, Lily, Sirius, Severus and Remus, all of us are first years!" Harry said, excited to be friends with the giant again.
A/N: A small note. I couldn't write the Hagrid style so I am writing it normally. As much as I tried... I couldn't do it so... sorry! :(
"Ah! Nice to meet ya all. Want a cup of tea at my place?" Hagrid asked and waited for them to join him at his hut. With everyone settled down with a rock biscuit and some tea, conversations started. "How long have you been here sir?" asked Severus.
"I've been here since the forties Severus but I was expelled at that time and was given the duty of a housekeeper. I love it here though. I thank Dumbledore for giving allowing me to be here even after those rumours" Hagrid said.
"Did you really have a giant spider as your pet Hagrid?" Harry asked, not realising that no one had mentioned it. Sirius narrowed his eyes while the others brushed it off as something he had overheard before.
"Well... I better not talk about my times in Hogwarts Harry. Who is that cutie in your arms?" Hagrid asked, trying to change the topic. "This cutie here is Teddy. A cute guy that he is... never go near him during full moons without me around. Else... you are dead." Harry said mysteriously.
"Why is that Harry?" Sirius asked. "Don't remind me about the last full moon mate. He almost killed me when Harry told me to sit with him for sometime." James said, catching on what Harry was trying to do. "Why is that Harry?" Lily asked as this act had increased their curiosity though Remus had a suspicion.
"Why of course he is a werewolf." Harry said as the others gasped, each one had a funny expression which bordered between shock, disbelief and surprise. Though he did notice that Sirius was having a fake reaction and wondered about it.
Harry and James burst out laughing as Harry took a photo of their expressions. "What is funny about it dude! Your godson is a werewolf!" Sirius exclaimed. "Does he turn then?" asked Remus, scared that another boy had been bitten at such a young age.
"Of course not! He is a werewolf...I agree but did he turn when you were babysitting him James?" Harry asked to the still laughing James. "He did not turn guys. He killed me with his tantrum though. Very grumpy that guy is." James said.
The others sighed in relief. "His father was a werewolf and mother a metamorphagus. He still got the werewolf genes, which is why he is moody and grumpy during full moons. Only his grandmother and I could calm him down" Harry said.
"Looks like it is time for you go to the great hall. Hope to see you all again!" Hagrid said as he looked at the setting sun. "Wouldn't want to miss the two new students now... do you?" Hagrid asked, making them confused as they rushed to the great hall.
Almost the whole hall was filled by the time they reached there, just in time to as Dumbledore had stood up to make his speech. "I know that this is sudden... but these two students had gotten their letters late and had arrived only today. They are also first years and please make them welcome here!" he said as he turned to Minerva.
"Alright then. Parker, Harmony" she announced and a girl who looked a lot like Harry went towards the stool and sat down. James turned to Harry and asked "Is she your sister by any chance? she looks just like you. The other boy to... the three of you look related by some way." he said.
"I don't know James. Better ask them if they are in our house." Harry said as Nobody shouted "GRYFFINDOR!" for the boy and he sat down next to Harry. Only then did Harry realise that Harmony had been sorted into their house and was sitting next to Lily.
Skipping to the time of sorting
Harmony and Ron were nervous being in the past where they had to meet a lot of the dead but steeled their nerves as they stood in the great hall. When Harmony was called to the hat, she braced herself and put the hat on her head.
"Hmm..." the hat said in his head. "Seems like I have already sorted you to be a lion before" said the hat in amusement. "Just like the other one who came with his godson."
"Well... You did sort me once already but my mission demands me to go through this again. And I am joining him on this mission. May I ask your name? I am not going to call you the sorting hat." Harmony said.
"Well, my name is Nobody actually. Now may you please let the barriers down so that I can sort you?" Nobody asked.
"Of course Nobody" said Harmony and let his lowered his shields.
"Well lets see. You have a lot of cunning qualities and ambition but that is more inclined to books so... Slytherin is out. And even though you are loyal... your curiosity and bravery overpowers it so Hufflepuff is out" the Nobody said.
"Knew that from long back. So it is either Ravenclaw or Gryffindor like last time?" she asked.
"Have a lot of knowledge and the thirst of knowledge is great. But at the same time, you have proved time and again that you are courageous and reckless as a Gryffindor like you have proved..." said Nobody.
"Please sort me into Gryffindor! As much as I will like being in Ravenclaw... I need to be with Harry for this. Please!" Harmony said. "And nobody should know about his thing, especially Albus."
"Very well Mrs. Snape-Potter/ Granger or should I say Parker? I will not say anything about this to anyone unless you tell me to. It is about time someone puts Albus in his place as he is going overboard these days, just as I said to your friend. You do have a tragic past, thanks to that old coot."
"Thank you Nobody. I know I've had a tragic past but I can fix it now!" Harmony replied.
"Happy to help Harmony. You do have a very difficult path ahead of you. Be careful with what you do. I look forward in talking with you and your friends. Now you shall be in..."
"GRYFFINDOR!" exclaimed the hat and Harmony went to join the Gryffindor table and sat beside Lily. She sent a thumbs up sign at Ron, whose name was called out just then. Ron went towards the hat and put it on.
"Hmm..." the hat said in his head. "Are you the last of the time travelling group? Or are more coming?" the hat asked in a slightly weary tone.
"Well... As far as I know... I am the last one and I don't know about any one else joining. And may I ask your name? I am not going to call you the sorting hat." Ron said.
"Well, my name is Nobody, Now may you please let the barriers down so that I can sort you? Your secrets are safe with me." Nobody said.
"Of course Nobody" said Ron and let his lowered his shields.
"Well lets see. You are smarter than you are given credit for and could very well be sorted into Ravenclaw. But since you are not book smart or interested much in learning, Ravenclaw is out." the Nobody said.
"Knew that from long back. And I guess Slytherin and Hufflepuff are also out?" Ron asked.
"Yes actually. You are loyal but ambitious so the two houses cancel each other out" the Nobody said.
"That means I am in Gryffindor right?" thought Ron.
"Yes you are Ronald, you have proved time and again that you are courageous and reckless as a Gryffindor..." said Nobody.
"Wish me luck Nobody and tell no one about this thing to that old coot as he has meddled enough with my life for a lifetime" Ron said.
"Very well Mr. Black/Weasley or should I say Thompson? I will not say anything about this to nobody unless you tell me to. It is about time someone puts Albus in his place as he is going overboard these days. And I also ask you to not hesitate if you want to talk to me."
"Thank you Nobody. I'm sure I will call you for a small chat later." Ron said.
"Happy to help Ronald. You do have a very difficult path ahead of you. Be careful with what you do. Now you shall be in..."
"GRYFFINDOR!" shouted the hat and Ron went to sit beside Harry, happy that all of them are in the same house.
"Hello! I am Ronald Thompson. You are?" Ron asked, giving out his hand. Harry took it firmly and replied "Harry Parker. And I guess you are Harmony Parker?" he asked Harmony. "Yes I am. Your names are?" "I am Sirius Black, that is James Potter, this is Remus Lupin and that is Harry Parker." Sirius introduced.
"Nice to meet you all. Well... let us eat while we talk more shall we? I am hungry and this food in front of me is not helping." Ron said and loaded his plate as usual. While everyone were eating, Remus asked the intended question. "Are the three of you related?"
The six of them exchanged looks, two of the them had knowing looks while the others were confused. "Well Harry doesn't know this but... Harry and his godson are related to us and we are Harry's half siblings. We will explain later though. Shall we go to the rooms now?" Harmony asked.
"Sure! Why not?" Harry asked as he finished feeding Teddy and led the two to their dorms while the others said they would be right behind them. Before separating to their dorms though, Harmony slipped in a paper to Harry and left, winking at him.
Harry was just shocked at the two new people, who seemed to act a lot like Ron and Hermione and opened the piece of paper, totally oblivious to a figure standing behind him.
Meet us at come and go at 12 alone. Secrets are always there. More information gathered. We shall never part. Always together. Don't forget Edward. And I solemnly swear I'm upto no good.
Golden Trio HRH.
Harry was totally confused and stared at the paper until someone slapped him on his back. "Already got a crush mate? What is on that paper?" Remus asked. "Nothing mate. Just thought I was going crazy. She just told me to meet her tomorrow about how we are related. Lets go to sleep." Harry said and the Marauders bid goodnight to Lily and settled down to sleep.
At the stroke of midnight, if anyone were awake, they would've noticed three figures going to the empty 7th floor corridor to a wall opposite a tapestry. One of the boys walked in front of the room thrice and a door appeared. When the door opened, it resembled the background of the Burrow.
"Ok... why did you want me to come here Ron and Harmony?" one of them asked. "We got more proofs for your mission Harry Potter. I don't think you forgot us so soon?" Ron asked. "After all escaping Gringotts on a dragon is special you know" they said, shocking Harry out of his wits.
"Ron and 'Mione! What are you doing here all of a sudden?" he asked. "I'm Harmony now Harry and I am not a Granger and Ron is not a Weasley. As we said before... we have got more proofs for the mission and we can also contact the future. We also have the inheritance papers." Ron said.
"Ok. Anything you found before we go on to read the papers?" Harry asked. "And what is this I'm not a Granger or Weasley thing?" he asked, confused. "Main things are... Regulus Black is alive and is Ron's biological father while your mum was his mum. Before you interrupt, your dad is my dad and Snape is also my dad" Harmony said.
"Albus' doing again?" Harry asked a little angry. "Spot on Harry. Lily and Regulus were mates and had me. James and Severus were mates and had her. Both were forced into potions and had you. Each one had left letters and Griphook said that he forgot to give those to you and handed it over to us, along with their inheritances." Ron said.
"Albus is seriously getting on my nerves right now. I wish that he would get the kiss for all he has done. Framing Peter, separating mates, kidnapping children, blocking powers, using tons of potions... what else had he done t our lives in the name of the "greater good"?" Harry asked.
"We might know that when we read the letters Harry. And did you just say 'Framing Peter and using tons of potions' Harry?" Harmony asked. "Yes I did. Got a letter from Peter, Severus and accidentally read Regulus' letter to Siri to figure it out." Harry said.
"Great. Let us discuss the letters and inheritances tomorrow at the same time if you are ok with it Harry? And I totally forgot! Minnie gave us a few rings that will help us talk telepathically. I will inform the time using it." Ron said and gave the ring to Harry.
"Andy also gave these knives that will turn into a tattoo when you say the password. And this is a mirror enchanted to contact the future " Harmony said as she gave him the dagger. and the mirror.
"Thanks Harmony and Ron. And...you forgot to tell me your new names mates or should I say siblings?" Harry asked with an eyebrow raised. "I am Ronald Sirius Black and she is Harmony Lilian Snape-Potter." Ron said.
"So.… I am still calling her 'Mione. And welcome to the family" Harry said and hugged the two. "Alright. Any discussions tomorrow guys as we need to sleep now. Cuz I guess a certain person doesn't want to miss her classes on Friday?" Harry asked and the three of them laughed, not noticing a retreating figure.
The three of them quickly rushed to their dorms and went to bed, happy to be together again. As he went to bed, Harry realised that he never asked them to remove their glamours. 'Never mind, I will ask them tomorrow" thought Harry as he went to sleep.
Unknown person P.O.V
'So... we have time travellers in the school to change the past now do we... lets face them tomorrow... and maybe expose them and their plans' the person thought as he went to sleep.
A/N: That will be chapter 15 for you guys. Hope you all liked it! Who is this mysterious person? What are the trio going to do about him If he gets caught? Anyone wants to know the inheritances of the 6 people who were tortured by Dumbledore?
Thank you all for reading!
