Chapter .5.
Gryffindor Tower
Fred, George and Lee go down from there dorm and see everyone gathered by the notice board. They push their way forward. They all gasp at the notice.
Attention Sixteen Year Old Students!
Due to last minute information that was bought to Headmaster Dumbledore and the other Headmasters and Headmistress also Ludo Bagman and Barty Crouch. The previous rule which only allowed seventeen year and older to submit their names into the goblet of fire as been amended.
Students 16 and older now have permission to submit their names into the Goblet of Fire. The Age Line has been amended to allow 16 years and older to cross the line.
PLEASE NOTE: If you are chosen as Champion, you CAN'T back out. Before you submit your name into the Goblet, make sure this is a serious decision. The Tournament is difficult and dangerous, and there is risk to limb and life.
Good luck to all my lions who submit there name into the Goblet of Fire
Thank You
Professor McGonagall
Head of Gryffindor House
Deputy Headmaster of Hogwarts
"Wicked!" the twins cheer
"Cool!" Lee cheers
"We don't need that aging potion now", George says
"We can give it too the younger years", Fred says
"I doubt it would have worked. But this is so cool", Lee says
"Lets go enter our name and win!" the twins say
Angelina and Alicia walk over too them.
"Problems Angie?" George asks
"Don't call my Angie. And no there is no problem", Angelina replies
"We don't think either of you are the right choice for Hogwarts Champion", Alicia says
"Oh yeah? Who would?" Fred asks
"One of the other Houses like the Slytherins?" George asks
"No. Us", Alicia says
George, Fred and Lee laugh.
"What is the problem with us being one of the Champions?" Angelina asks
"Nothing", Lee says
"Nothing at all", George and Fred say
They hurry away in order to put there names in the goblet…
Ilvermorny Tents
Harry got up early Halloween Morning. Thanks to his Dad sending a bucket of cold water on him. He was going to prank his Dad good. Harry dries himself off with a charm and goes out to join his family for breakfast.
"How did you sleep Harry?" Lily asks
"Fine Mum. Excited to see all my betroths and Hermione today", Harry replies
James chuckles, "You are a ladies man"
"Thank Dad. I did grow up with one of the Marauders. But you know I am bisexual and I noticed a few men last night. My Elven instincts told me they were my mates", Harry says
"At least Harry will be gentlemen unlike some people", Lily says
"Hey!" James says
Lily chuckles. His Mum was breast feeding Violet and his Dad was feeding Sorrel.
After they got changed and headed to the mess tent everyone had gathered.
"It's pouring", Harry says
"I will protect us now lets get going", Lily says, "All Ilvermorny join together and we are united. We will support each other as each of you put their names in the goblet"
They walk out of the tents as one with James leading with his scars under glamour's. Lily's charms made sure no rain fell on them.
Soon they enter the Entrance Hall all dry thanks to Harry's mother. Harry was glad one of his mothers Mastery's was in Charms. Otherwise they all would have been drenched by the walk from the tents to the Hall.
They enter the Great Hall where the Goblet was and the Goblet was surround by a white line of magic. The age line. The Teachers, Headmasters, Headmistresses, Remus, Tonks, Amelia, Sirius, Mr Bagman and Mr Crouch where lined up at the oak doors of the Great Hall. Harry knew the other schools had submitted their names as their students where looking around getting to know the Hogwarts students.
"Make way! The Ilvermorny delegates wish to enter their name into the Goblet of Fire! Lets all wish them good luck!" Dumbledore says using a Sonorous charm so everyone could hear him
All the students parted way and the 29 delegates of Ilvermorny enter there names and line up for Harry to put his name.
"Good luck son", James says squeezing his shoulder
"You will do fine", Lily says letting go of his shoulder
"Good luck big brother", the Potter children say
Harry walks up confidently towards the Goblet. He was nervous but he didn't think he would get picked. All the Ilvermorny students smiled encouragingly at him. Showing their support by standing on either side of the Goblet.
There were mummers and whispers around the Hall from the not just the Hogwarts students but the other schools too. But Fleur Delacour joined the lined Ilvermorny students showing her betrothed her support. Harry breathed deep and stepped over the age line. Coursing more louder whispers.
"Hey! How is he able to get past the line! He's 14! That's bloody unfair! I want to enter my name! And some of the others have to be 15!" a Gryffindor student yells
Harry sees the student and saw the colours on his uniform which showed he was a Gryffindor. He was the surprised the red on his uniform didn't clash with the boys red hair and his face which was rapidly turning red. The student appeared about his age. Harry knew the boy was entitled to his opinion. But he had been trained since he got his wand spells that some of the students of Hogwarts probably haven't learnt yet.
"Ronald Weasley!" Minerva McGonagall yells, "Sixty points from Gryffindor and detention for two weeks. One with Mr Filch and the other with Professor Snape!"
"What for? It is unfair he shouldn't enter", Weasley says
"For disrespecting our Ilvermorny students and for that outburst! And other forty points from Gryffindor!" Professor McGonagall says and walks over and grabs Ronald's arm and drags him from the Hall, "Your mother will be hearing from me!"
Harry sees Dumbledore use the Sonorous charm again and clears his throat.
"Attention students. Harry Potter may be fourteen-years-old but he placed 2nd out of a competition of sixty. All of them older then himself. Including all the students before him which DO have fifthteen-year-olds in there delegate as well. But the Headmaster of Ilvermorny and the Magical Congress of the United States of America has given these students permission to enter their names. All the Headmasters, Headmistresses, Mr Bagman, Mr Crouch and I made a unanimous decision to support MASCUA's decision. Now please proceed Mr Potter", Dumbledore says
Harry nodded his thanks and turned to the Goblet and realised his parchment with his name on it into it. Harry quickly stepped back across the age line. Fleur claps, followed by his siblings, followed by his fellow students, then some in the Great Hall from students of Hogwarts. Harry nodded his thanks and blushed while he walked back over to his family.
The Ilvermorny students went back too their tents to eat breakfast and discuss useful spells for the competition.
"What was with that red-haired? He couldn't even behave in front of everyone", Noel a sixteen-year-old student says
"Obviously he has jealousy issues and a need to prove himself. Why would he be in Gryffindor? Professor J Potter said all people with a thirst to prove themselves normally end up in Slytherin?" Andrea asks
"We probably would known how students get into their houses. Some might fool the Hat. We are lucking with how we are picked", Harry replies
"We are", all students agreed
Harry decides to go and find his betroths he knew would be in the library. He goes to his family tent.
"Mum? Dad? Can either of you show me the way to the library?" Harry asks
"I will take you son", James says
They start walking towards the Castle. Harry's German Shepard Maya, one of his wolves Balto and one of his lions Simba and his Wyvern was curled on his shoulder where with them.
"So what do you think of the Castle?" James asks
"It is ok. Nothing like Ilvermorny though", Harry says
"How was your talk with those girls last night?" James asks
"It went great. But I get the feeling they are being bullied. You know how I feel about bullies", Harry replies
James sighs, "I know. I also know you will not allow anyone to bully your girls"
"And Hermione", Harry says
"What are your feelings about Hermione?" James asks
"I feel like she is a great person. And she is really cute too. But I don't think she sees herself clearly", Harry replies
"Well if you do end up dating her. I will approve a betrothal contract and I am sure your mother will too", James says
"You don't mind that will make 16 girls? And I liked some of the boys as well", Harry asks
"No I don't. I know your bi-sexual. And I would arrange a betrothal contract with any boy you what. But Like the girl Hermione they will have to pass the parents test", James says grinning
"Dad", Harry says with a sigh
"It is a fathers and mothers right", James says smiling
"I feel a connection to some of the boys and girls in different schools. It is my Elven instincts isn't it?" Harry asks
"It is. Your Mum hasn't found a need to find more soulmates but your powerful and your Grandfather High King Oblan said that powerful High Elves find more mates", James replies
"Thanks for telling me Dad. I know some of my powers. But do I tell my mates them?" Harry asks
"That is up too you. But you should find somewhere private to tell them and ask for a vow of silence", James answers
"Thanks Dad. What are you going to do about your friends?" Harry asks
"I don't know yet. The Full Moon is soon. I might join them. I don't know yet", James replies
"I can join. I have over 30 forms. 14 magical creatures and 16 non-magical", Harry says
"I did expect you to ask. So you can join if I go. Not if I don't understand?" James asks seriously
"I do Dad", Harry says
"Harry", Fleur says as they enter the Entrance Hall
"My beautiful Fleur", Harry says giving her a kiss
That had people looking at them. The boys where giving Harry dirty looks.
"I know you are meeting your betroths so I will come with you", Fleur says
"I would love you to come", Harry replies
"Come the Library is this way", James says smiling
James leads them to the Library.
"Thanks Dad", Harry says
"If the librarian is the same it will be Madam Pince. She is very strict and protective of her books. Be respectful to her", James says
"I will always treat women and girls with respect", Harry replies
"That's me boy. Now I am going to speak with Minerva. I will see you later son, Fleur", James says with pride leaving them
"No animals", Madam Pince says
"They won't damage your books Ma'am. They are always with me. If they do I will pay for new copies", Harry says nicely
"Very well", Madam Pince says
Harry goes over to the table where he sees Hermione, Padma, Lilith, Su, Isobel, Luna and Mandy. The other girls where around the table.
"Hello ladies", Harry says smiling
The girls smile at him.
"I am sure you know I am Harry. But alas I do not know who is who unless I sat with them last night", Harry says
"I am Susan Bones", Susan says
"Pleasure to meet you Susan", Harry says kissing her hand making her blush
"I am Daphne Greengrass", Daphne says
"Pleasure to meet you Daphne", Harry says kissing her hand
The Ice Queen's stony expression softens and she blushes.
"I am Tracey Davis", Tracey says
"Pleasure to meet you Tracey", Harry says kissing her hand
"I am Morag MacDougal", Morag says
"Pleasure to meet you Morag", Harry says kissing her hand
"I am Katie Bell", Katie says
"Pleasure to meet you Katie", Harry says again kissing the Ladies hand
He does the same for the last too Fay and Megan.
"May I seat with you lovely ladies?" Harry asks
They giggle and say yes.
"Who are your animals?" Fay asks
"They are some of my familiars. The German Shepard is Maya, the wolf is Balto, the lion is Simba, the Sage Serpent is Seraph and the Wyvern is Spectra. I have other familiars too", Harry says scratching Maya's ears
"Mr Potter it is good to see you again. I saw you put your name in the Goblet. It was very rude of Weasley to speak like that", Hermione says
"Please call me Harry. So you know this boy?" Harry asks
Daphne snorts, "Who doesn't know his family"
"Is his family famous?" Harry asks
"They have 7 kids", Katie says, "All in Gryffindor. The three eldest have graduated Bill is the eldest and is a Curse Breaking, next is Charlie who is a Dragon Handler and Percy who works at the Ministry. They have twins Fred and George and they are identical they are in their 6th year here. They are pranksters"
"My Dad would like that", Harry says smiling
"Don't give them ideas beloved", Katie threatens with her wand
"The boy who yelled at you is Ronald Weasley he is our age. He is rude and is a pig when eating. Heaven help the woman who marries him if any do he is that gross and rude", Fay says
"The youngest is Ginny Weasley who is trying to go out with Neville. He is your age. But us girls think it is all do to with his fame", Tracey says
"Is this Neville Longbottom?" Harry asks
"Yes why?" Megan asks
"He is my godbrother. I will have to make time to talk to him. So why is he famous?" Harry asks
The girls then explain his last few years at Hogwarts and Voldemort. Which made Harry frown. How was Voldemort alive? Or in spirit form at the very least? After all his Dad blow the house up! Nobody could have survived that. His father nearly didn't. If it hadn't been for the goblins. He would have to tell his parents.
"Well it sounds like tests to me. I know your telling the truth think about his first year. It was all a test", Harry says
They girls think about it and he was right all the enchantments on the Philosophers Stone could be passed by a first year.
"Who would be trying to test him?" Hermione asks
"I don't know. Maybe the someone who set the whole things up. Who did?" Harry asks
"Professor Dumbledore", Morag says
"Well that makes sense. His second year Dumbledore could have used his Phoenix to get into the Chamber and slay the Basilisk before anyone got hurt. And Hogwarts should have wards that protect against dark objects", Harry replies
"There should be now you mention it so why take the ward done and have us all in danger?" Mandy asks
"To test Neville", Harry says
"Auntie will want to know this. I will tell her next time I see her", Susan says
"What is it like having Sirius for an Uncle?" Harry asks
"He is pretty cool. He told me stories of the Marauders. And that your father was like a brother to him. Auntie and I can see the pain in his eyes talking about your Dad. Will your Dad talk to him?" Susan asks
"I don't know", Harry says honestly
"Do you know about them?" Susan asks
"Yes Dad told me and my siblings all about Padfoot and Moony. I have vag memories of them but that is it", Harry replies
"Do you like living in America?" Padma asks
"Yes. It has become my home as you can tell by my accent. Ilvermorny is great", Harry replies
"Tell us about it", Katie says
So Harry tells them about Ilvermorny and his sexuality.
"So Hermione will you go on a date with me?" Harry asks
"Why would you want to go out with me?" Hermione asks
"Your beautiful and intelligent and I see a strong women", Harry replies
"What about my teeth and hair?" Hermione asks
"I like your hair and teeth. You are perfect in every way", Harry replies
"Really?" Hermione asks unsure
"Yes. Now will you go on a date with me? We can spend some time together then with then other girls. I would also ask you to the Yale Ball but I know that is too soon", Harry asks, "That's if you don't have a boyfriend"
Hermione blushes
"I don't have a boyfriend. Never in fact", Hermione says blushing in embarrassment
Harry felt happy he would have her first kiss! That's if she let him date her.
"So will you go on a date with me?" Harry asks
"Yes I would love too", Hermione says blushing
"When is your next Hogsmeade Weekend?" Harry asks
"Next Saturday", Hermione says
"Then I look forward too our date", Harry says, "Don't worry girls I will spend my time equally around you and any others I find"
"Do you think you will be Ilvermorny's champion?" Isobel asks
"My parents and siblings believe so. But I will let fate decide", Harry replies
"You will be champion Harry", Luna says smiling
"We will see", Harry says smiling
"You got 2nd overall of 60 I think you will be a Champion", Su says
"I had a lot of training by my Dad and Mum. They wanted me to be able to protect myself", Harry replies, "My siblings have started to learn too. The ones with wands"
"What is it like at Beauxbatons Fleur?" Hermione asks
They continue talking not noticing they were being watched…
After leaving his son in the Library with his Ladies. James heads for McGonagall's office. He knocks on the door and hears come in. James sees she is with Sirius and Remus. He cursed in his head he didn't want to talk to them now. Later maybe. Now no.
"James this is a surprise come on in", Minerva says
"Thanks Minerva", James says and conjures a chair
"How can I help you?" Minerva asks
"I think Professor Flitwick should be here", James says
"I will floo him", Minerva says leaving the room
"Prongs it has been a long time", Remus says
"Yes it has", James says
"Why didn't you tell us you where alive?" Sirius asks hurt, "Weren't we like brothers"
"Sometimes families have to split apart for the good of the family", James replies
He surprises Remus and Sirius with his maturity.
"Just tell us why", Sirius asks
"I can't", James says, "Not yet"
James was a very cautious since that night had Godric's Hollow. And before that so that was why he never told Sirius or Remus or even Peter of the backup plan.
"We have been mourning you, Lily and Harry for 13 years Prongs don't you think we are owed an explanation?" Sirius asks
"I did what I had to do", James replies
"Is that all you have to say!?" Sirius asks voice loud and standing from his chair
"At this time yes", James says
Remus pushes Sirius back into his chair
"Hello James your looking well", Professor Flitwick says coming into the room
"Thank you Professor", James says
"Call me Filius as your not a student anymore", Flitwick says
"Alright Filius", James says with a smile
"What is this about James?" Minerva asks
"Well it has to do with those young Ravenclaw students", James says
"Which students?" Flitwick asks
"Miss Granger, Miss Patil, Miss Moon, Miss Li, Miss MacDougal, Miss Lovegood and Miss Brocklehurst", Minerva replies for James, "Those the girls James?"
"Yes. Those students who were pushed away from their housemates. That is bullying Filius if I have ever seen it and I am quite concerned about bullying", James says surprising all of them
"Why would you be interested in those students?" Filius asks
"My son is betrothed to all of them but Miss Granger and it is not just that Harry can't stand bullies in any form or manner. And he makes sure everyone knows it", James replies
That shocked the other people in the room. To know James Potter's son didn't like bullies.
"Have you bought the bullying up with Headmaster Dumbledore?" James asks
"Yes I have. But he told me to leave the girls alone as it will build character", Flitwick replies
"Well you can expect me children especially Harry to do something about the bullying when he sees or hears about it. If you do nothing", James warns
"What would he do?" Minerva asks
"Either force a punishment and he can or duels of satisfaction. It won't matter if it is a student or adult who is bullying people Harry cares for he will challenge them especially the adults to duels of satisfaction. The kids he would force detention, suspension and points taking", James explains
"He can't do that", Minerva says
"You will find he will if people start bullying people he cares for. He is not afraid to duel", James says
"He is only 14 how can he duel?" Sirius asks
"Curriculum at Ilvermorny is advanced", James replies, "Not to mention Lily and mine lessons with our son"
"We will see what we can do. Miss Granger is a favourite student of many in this school", Flitwick says, "She is a prodigy"
"Well my son took a liking to her. So you better watch out for the bullies and punish them or Harry will do it himself", James warns
"We will", Minerva says
"Now what was it about that red-haired boy this morning?" James asks
"I am sorry for that. He is one of my lions, a fourth year, problem child. His name is Ronald Weasley", Minerva replies
"Weasley didn't they have 5 children?" James asks
"He is the youngest son of Arthur and Molly Weasley. They had Ronald in 1980 and Ginevra in 1981. The first girl in the Weasley family for generations. So she gets a lot of attention. The older boys were all Prefects and Head boys except Charlie who was Quidditch Captain. The Twins they have didn't get the badge", Minerva says
"They worship the Marauders James", Sirius says with a grin
James ignores that, "Molly?"
"She was a Prewett. Sister to Fabian and Gideon", Minerva replies
"I remember those two. Nice guys and funny when they wanted to be. They were tough as nails too", James says, "They were jokesters"
"Just like yourself and those too. But Ronald is a problem-child. Truth is he should be two years behind everyone else in his year. He is not a bright boy and very lazy. He all he concentrates on Quidditch. He bullies other students. His grades are Acceptations in a few classes but he has lower grades in the rest", Minerva says
"And he doesn't even try in class", Flitwick says
"Then why hasn't he been held back a year or two? That's how it's done at Ilvermorny. But we don't have many of those", James replies
"Dumbledore is the reason. He had many reasons not to fail Mr Weasley. One he doesn't believe in letting students fall back a year. Otherwise Mr Goyle and Mr Crabbe in Slytherin would also be back two years. Another reason Arthur Weasley is now a Lord and is part of the Wizengamot and Dumbledore's alliance. If Dumbledore outed that Mr Weasley was a bad student it could bring issues for the Noble House of Weasley. That is what Molly Weasley says", Minerva informs James
"So Dumbledore is letting Mr Weasley just breeze through his education. So he can save face with his Alliance Member?" James asks
"Yes. I am part of that Alliance but I don't want to be. But have little choice with what other alliances are out there", Minerva says
"I will invite you to the Shadow Phoenix Alliance I am bring my Grandfathers legacy back. You can formally change alliances at the next Wizengamot meeting", James offers
"I would be delighted to join your Alliance", Minerva says with a smile
"So Dumbledore is letting his Alliance children off easy", James says
"Correct. And there is more, due to Mr Weasley's outburst in the Great Hall I will send out letters to the parents but Molly Weasley always sends a howler back at me not to make up lies of her dear son. As you could see he is a loud, obnoxious and rude child. I've had complaints from students about his behaviour and eating habits. But the last time I told Mr Weasley off I also got a howler from Molly and a lecture from Albus", Minerva explains
"Isn't that her husbands decision?" James asks with his eyebrow raised
"Molly has her husband by the balls James. Arthur may be Lord Weasley, but Molly is really the one who is Lord and decides things", Sirius says
"Lily would never do that to me about official House of Potter business but we always talk everything out", James replies
"Well I should be clear I did not just punish Mr Weasley because he complained about Harry entering the Tournament when he us so young. To be honest and clear most of the students in the Hall probably thought that too", Minerva explains
"I know and Lily knows that would happen and so did Harry", James replies
"I punished Mr Weasley because he was breaching etiquette when it came to respecting guests of Hogwarts. As Hogwarts needs to be scene in a good light for our guests. I explained that precisely that to him this morning", Minerva explains
"Does Mr Weasley bully the girls I mentioned?" James asks
"Yes he especially doesn't like Miss Granger as she is a prodigy", Flitwick says
"Well you can expect Harry not to put up with that. So you better give him a warning. Harry hates bullies as I said. And he will do a punishment he sees fit. If Molly Weasley sends a howler he knows how to destroy them before they go off. So they won't worry him", James informs them
"We will pass it along", Minerva promises
"Do you believe Harry doesn't deserve to be in this Tournament? Or not qualified?" James asks
"I never said that but I don't envy you as these tasks are made for seventeen year old", Minerva says
"I think James you should have kept Harry out of it. This Tournament is dangerous", Sirius says
James stands up, "My son is perfectly capable of competing if his name comes out. You have no idea what he can do. You should believe in your own godson Sirius! Maybe when you see him in action you might change your mind. Maybe everyone who doubts him will. Have a good day Professors. I came here for what I wanted. Oh and one more thing think about the Quidditch teams as the tent will be sent up for everyone to have a Quidditch Tournament too"
James walks out and Sirius and Remus follow.
"I didn't mean it like that James! But Harry is only 14 years old", Sirius says
"And he can do all things kids his age can't do", James replies
"I am sorry", Sirius says
"We will cheer for him if he gets selected", Remus says
"Why did you change alliances?" James asks suddenly
"We thought the Shadow Phoenix Alliance was over and we owe Albus a lot", Sirius says
"You could have taken it over. I would have approved and so would my father and grandfather", James replies, "Why do you trust Dumbledore so much?"
"Because he has done a lot for us", Remus says
"Maybe you should think on that. You might find he hasn't done as much as you think", James says walking away
Letting Remus and Sirius think about what he said…
In Castle
Harry walked out of the library happy he had a date with Hermione and he was getting along well with all his betrothed. Fleur had left ten minutes before Harry to go and find her sister. Harry was looking around at all the portraits and was seeing the ghosts. He had meet Nearly Headless Nick, Bloody Baron, Fat Friar and the Grey Lady who all recognised him as the Lord of Hogwarts. They told him that the Headmaster used the portraits to spy on everyone.
That disturb Harry a bit that the Headmaster would spy on the students. Harry was deep in thought when he bumped into someone.
"Sorry", Harry says to two identical twins
"It is ok", the say together
"I am Harry", Harry says
"We…"
"…now who…"
"…you are…"
"…we are Fred…"
"…and George"
Harry felt a connection to Fred.
"Pleasure to meet you. What are you doing with that parchment?" Harry asks and suddenly gets a look at it, "That's the Marauders Map"
"No…"
"…it is…"
"…not"
"I solemnly swear I am up to no good", Harry says pointing his wand at the parchment and the Map appears
"How…"
"…did…"
"…you know?"
"My Father is Prongs, Sirius Black is Padfoot, Remus Lupin is Moony and Wormtail was the traitor Pettigrew", Harry says
"Really? Professor Lupin and Black are our heros? And your father?" Fred asks
"Yes", Harry says
"We are not worthy. We are not worthy", the twins say starting to bow
Harry laughs, "I think you are according to my fiancees"
"We love mayhem", the twins say
"Make sure you don't bully and we won't have a problem", Harry replies
"I am sure we won't", the twins say
Harry had a feeling he was really going to enjoy Fred being his soulmate…
Ravenclaw Common Room…
Hermione had come back from the library happy with her friends they had spent time with Harry learning about Ilvermorny and it sounded so much better then Hogwarts. And Harry had made them all think of things a bit differently.
Hermione couldn't wait for her date she was getting over the fact she would be a sister-wife if her and Harry went that far. Harry even admitted he still handed found all his soulmates yet but he had felt things for a few boys that he had seen in the Great Hall.
Hermione had found a book on betrothals and multiple marriages and she was going to read it. It would help her is she did get together with Harry.
"We have something to talk to you about Granger and you other want to be's", Cho Chang says and she was with Marietta Edgecombe
"What would that be?" Hermione asks
"We saw you in the Library Granger you and your fellow whores", Marietta says
"You leave Harry Potter alone", Cho says
"Why me? And excuse me but Harry approached me", Hermione says
"And we are his betrothed", Mandy says
"Why is this any of your business?" Hermione asks
"It is our business! You need to get it Granger we might not be able to do anything about betrothal contracts but we can get rid of you", Marietta says
"Harry is the Heir of the Most Ancient and Most Noble House of Potter and the future Lord. The one of oldest houses in our world. Until yesterday it Was thought to be extinct", Cho says
"You know I she mention that it was a Pureblood House till that Mudblood got her hooks into James Potter. Potter and his siblings are Half-Bloods. And heirs of a Pureblood house and that isn't right", Marietta says
"What we are saying Granger is House Potter doesn't need another mudblood tainting its bloodline. It is disrespectful to ancestors of the Potters. You she be ashamed of yourself and keep your bushy hair and buck teeth out of House Potter", Cho says
"Excuse me?" Hermione asks trying not to get upset, "Harry asked me on a date"
"He did ask you too the Yale Ball too", Marietta says
"Yes but that is only if we like each other enough to go with each other", Hermione replies
"The Potters return will be big news and the Yale ball will be closely watched. What do you think will happen if you go with him? You will get howlers and hex-letters. So many you will have to leave the wizarding world", Marietta says
Hermione was trying not to let the tears fall.
"Turn Potter down and find another Muggle-Born", Cho says
"Leave Chang, Edgecombe or we will tell Harry your trying to poach him", Padma says fire in her eyes
Cho and Marietta go white.
"We aren't", Cho says
"Yes you are. You're trying to poach him. Harry is interested in Hermione, then you have to let their relationship take its course. Poaching is a serious offence. Possible expulsion, Azkaban and fines for your House which are only Lesser. Blood feuds could happen or worse Harry can challenge you to a duel of satisfaction or a dual of honour right now. So as long as Harry is interested in Hermione she is off limits", Su says
"Turn him down or else Granger", Cho says and her and Marietta leave
"You have to tell Harry about the poaching treat", Mandy says
"What is poaching?" Hermione asks
"We will explain while we get you cleaned up", Lilith says
They all go up the stairs to the dorms and they start to explain pure-blood etiquette to Hermione…
Gryffindor Common Room...
Ginny was passing in front of the fire. What was she going to do. Her Mother and her were working on the Augusta and Neville for a betrothal contract so Ginny could get all the fame with Neville's name. But now the Potter's where back. And they where from an old line and would have a lot of money so she would never have to work and she would have the famous name.
She would have to talk it over with her mother would it be Longbottom or Potter?...
