Chapter .4.
Harry hadn't been that amazed by everything on his way to Headmaster Dumbledore's office. He liked Ilvermorny more. But the moving staircases were interesting.
"Amazing isn't it?" Sirius asks wanting to connect with his godson
"Not really. How often are kids late to class because the staircases change? It is not very practical", Harry replies
That surprised Sirius and Remus. Shouldn't Harry be more excited to be here?
"Harry is right I was late more often then not because of those stairs", James says
"Me too", Lily says
"You just have to master them", Dumbledore says shocked by what they were saying
"Don't they have a mind of their own? I read about it", Harry says
"You like to read?" Remus asks
"Yes. I read some books from here about Hogwarts. They were informative but still not quite right", Harry says looking at the moving paintings
"Do you play Quidditch Harry?" Sirius asks
"Seeker in Wampus", Harry says
"Wampus?" Sirius asks
"There are 4 Houses at Ilvermorny Sirius. Horned Serpent the House of Scholars, Thunderbird the House of Adventurers, Pukwugie the House of Healers, and Wampus the House of Warriors. Harry is in both Wampus and Horned Serpent", James says
"It was a shock to everyone with that. He is the first to be chosen by two houses", Lily adds
"How do they sort you? A hat like here?" Sirius asks
"No. We have to stand on the gordian Knot on the floor in the centre of the entrance hall with large wooden statues of the mascots for the four houses…", Harry says
"Mascots?" Remus asks
"Like you have the Lion for Gryffindor, the Eagle for Ravenclaw, the Badger for Hufflepuff and the Snake for Slytherin. Each house of Ilvermorny has their own Mascot. The mascot is the same as the house name", Harry replies
"Oh", Sirius says
"Anyway everyone is watched as we are sorted and the carvings react in different ways for each house. The crystal in the Horned Serpent glows, the Wampus roars, the Thunderbird beats its wings and the Pukwudgie raises its arrow. So the Horned Serpent and Wampus reacted too me", Harry says
They reach the stone gargoyle and Dumbledore says, "Fizzing Whizbees"
Harry's eyes widen as the stairs appear and they move up to Dumbledore's office. Harry sees a beautiful Phoenix. He had Four Phoenixes a Snow Phoenix named Hedwig, a Lightning Phoenix named Rowen, a Shadow Phoenix named Mystery and a Storm Phoenix named Ace. Each of the types of phoenixes he had where rare. He also had a basilisk she was named Shasha, a Sage Serpent named Seraph, a wyvern named Spectra, two wolves named Balto and Aleu and a lion named Simba.
James had a Shadow Phoenix named Ash and a lion named Mufusa. Lily had a Spirit Phoenix which was rare named Eden, two Kneazle's named Jade and Emeralds and a lioness named Sarabi.
They had bought their familiars with them and they would be in their tent when they got there. Harry's basilisk could chose its size as a certain point and it was small now and was with him as was Spectra they were hiding in Harry's clothes as was his Sage Serpent Seraph. Harry had received the Parselmouth ability from his ancestor who just was Salazar Slytherin. Through the Peverell's and by right of conquest from his parents.
Harry looked at the Headmaster's office and it was certainly different then his Headmasters office.
"Take seats everyone", Dumbledore says conjuring chairs for everyone
"Why is Severus Snape here?" Lily asks
James puts a hand on her in comfort.
"He is the Potions Professor here and Head of Slytherin House", Dumbledore says, "We can trust him he is in my confidence as is Minerva"
"Very well. But if he makes any comments that offend my husband, my children or my students I will be having words with you", Lily says sternly
"Your husband doesn't need your help. He is a…", Severus doesn't finish as Lily had silenced him
"Lils calm down. We have a nasty history after all", James says undoing the silencing charms, "For what it is worth Severus I am truly sorry for what I did at school. I was a bully and so much other things. I will stay out of your way unless it is to do with my children or my students"
"Not Lily?" Severus sneers
"Lily can handle herself", James says simply
Sirius and Remus where wondering when James grow up. And how he could apologies too Severus Snape of all people.
"Why are we here?" Alexandra Stavros (Headmistress of Olympia Academy) asks stopping the arguing
"I have here permission from MACUSA and Headmaster Nixon to have my son who is 14 and a couple of students that are 16 in this tournament. They have earned this as they past their trials", Lily says handing over the letter from MACUSA and Headmaster Nixon
"This is outrageous", Karkaroff says
"How well did your son place if he was the youngest?" Ludo asks
"2nd out of 60 students", James says proudly
"2nd!" Ludo exclaims shocked sizing Harry up
Remus and Sirius where shocked that Harry had placed that high with so many students. All other Headmasters and Headmistresses size Harry up too.
"We bought the 30 students who placed. They do include one 15-year-old and 10 16-year-olds. The rest are 17", Lily says
"You can't be serious", Crouch says
"They have permission from MACUSA and you don't want to start a international incident do you? They have even permission from their parents", James says handing over the letters
"It is unlikely we will get anyway but we want to try", Harry adds
"Don't sell yourself short. You could be the first Ilvermorny Champion. We should let them compete after all they have all the right paper work don't you agree Madam Bones?" Ludo asks
"I agree. We don't also what to start an international incident with MACUSA with us being on shaky ground with them as it is", Amelia says
"Does anyone here have a problem with this?" Dumbledore asks all the Headmasters and Headmistresses
Only Crouch, Karkaroff and Severus had a problem with it.
"Very well they can submit their names. I will let them all in tomorrow morning", Dumbledore says, "Minerva, Severus you should tell Pomona and Filius that I have opened the Triwizard Tournament for 16 and over and to post it in your house common rooms"
"But this tournament is dangerous!" Minerva says
"They know the risks if they put their name in", Dumbledore says
"Very well but I am not happy with this", Minerva says
"We are going back too are students", Headmaster John Holmes of the Australia Academy says as he and the other Headmasters and Mistresses leave
"What are your children's names James? Lily?" Sirius asks
"I am most curious too", Dumbledore says
"The octuplets are 12 and their names are Iolanthe Lillian, Charlus Sirius, Euphemia Andromeda, Lotus Marlene, Ignotus Remus, Jarred Severus, Dorea Alice, Ebony Clara, then the quadruplets that are 11 Kunal Francis, Rosalina Marie, Flora Helena, and Camilla Josephina, then the twins that are 10 Abraham Samuel and Ivy Cypress, the Ralston Ted who is 9, then the twins Acacia Laura and Cherry Leanne, then Jasmine Eartha who is 7, Narcissus Fleamont who is 6, then the triplets Dahlia Hazel, Holly Heather and Sage Matthew, then Aster Luke who is 4, then Zinnia Lupa who is 3, then the triplets Cedar Evan, John Allan and Basil Clarence who are 2, the Sorrel William who is 1 and lastly Violet Sarah Potter who is 2 months", Lily says
"16 girls and 14 boys", James says
"You sure have a big family Prongs", Sirius laughs
"I was an only child and Lily doesn't get along with her sister so we wanted a big family. We love them all. But I think we are done with having children", James says
"You are right Potter", Lily growls
"Lils you know you wouldn't change our children for the world", James says
Lily smiles, "No I wouldn't"
Dumbledore could see the love between the couple had only gotten stronger during their time away.
"Headmaster I would like the item I loaned you when last we saw each other", James says politely
"I haven't got it on me at the moment I will return it too you within a week", Dumbledore says
"Very well. I know what my cloak is like so don't try and fool me. Now if you excuse us we would like to go too our tents to sleep before tomorrow we will come into the hall at 9. Then you can allow are Harry and the other student that are under 16 to place their names", James says
"I will be waiting", Dumbledore says, "Did you mean it when you wanted a international Quidditch Tournament?"
"Yes. It will make it more fun for everyone in-between tasks as there is a lot of time. It will provide international cooperation. You can have all your house teams in it or make a team with all houses combined. It will be a good way for everyone to make friends with the other schools", James says
Dumbledore, Sirius and Remus couldn't believe how considerate James was now.
"I will have the Heads of House tell the students about it and post Quidditch Captains as we didn't do this year. I think each house will have a team", Dumbledore says
"Fine be me", James says
"With that Good Evening Headmaster, Madam Bones, Sirius, Remus, Mrs Lupin, Minerva and Severus", Lily says
Harry and his parents and siblings all walk out of the office and outside and too the tents that had been set up by Professors Sanderson.
"That one is yours and the quidditch pitch is set up. All students are getting ready too sleep. When do they put their names in the goblet?" Professor Sanderson asks
"9 am. So we should all get to bed", Lily says
Harry helps put his sisters and brothers too bed and says goodnight to his parents before going to his bed. Tomorrow was going to be a hectic day. And he wanted to met his betrotheds as well as Hermione tomorrow too!...
Dumbledore's Office…
Dumbledore was in a mood James, Lily and Harry where alive! And he didn't know what that meant for Neville Longbottom. Was it Harry or Neville the prophecy child? Would this interfere with his Greater Good plan? A world of Pure-Bloods?
Now they wanted that blasted cloak back and he had given it to Neville Longbottom as he wanted to test Neville and Neville did not need to be seen. So what was he going to do? James would know if he gave him a different cloak. He needed that cloak back if he was to gain the trust of Lily and James. But could he risk Neville rebelling? Hopefully all of this wouldn't put a kink in his plans…
Remus's Rooms…
"I can't believe Prongs is alive! After all these years! Can you believe it Moony?" Sirius asks
"It is a bit hard to believe we will have to ask them how they did it", Remus says
"He was acting different did you notice?" Sirius asks
"We all did Sirius", Amelia says to her husband
"He was acting grown up Sirius", Remus says
"Did you see all the children they had?" Tonks asks
"Yes. They are so well behaved. Harry had grown and those girls he was talking to where his betrotheds! James and Lily never mentioned they betrothed Harry", Remus says
"He is also betrothed to my niece Susan. I don't know who else", Amelia says
"Harry has got to be a ladies man", Sirius says
"Hopefully he doesn't act like the Marauders did in their days at Hogwarts", Amelia comments
"Why?" Sirius asks
"Because you where very irresponsible back then", Amelia replies
"I wonder how they survived and if they are going to stay around after all this is over", Remus muses
"Of course they will stay", Sirius says
"They have made lives for themselves in the US Sirius they probably won't come back to live here", Amelia says
"I know they will stay! I know it they won't leave us again and Harry has betrothed here in the UK", Sirius replies
"Still doesn't mean they will stay", Tonks points out
"She is right Sirius", Remus says with a sigh
"I know they will", Sirius says
Remus sighs, "We will see"
