Ragnarök also told him that he would need to appoint a proxy for the Potter seat on the Wizengamot but not the Hogwarts founders because they created the Ministry. Harry asked about the Peverell seat and Ragnarök chuckled and told Harry that at this time there might be four Hogwarts houses but until 250 years ago there use to be FIVE houses.
Chapter 2: Hogwarts Gets A Facelift
Hogwarts: Headmaster's Office
Albus Dumbledore sat at his desk drinking a cup of tea. He was also thinking about the coming school year. He had finally found a DADA teacher even though his credentials were so, so. He had hoped to get Remus Lupin to come teach but even Fawkes couldn't find him.
Albus glanced at the Sorting Hat and wondered if it had finished its new song for the year. Albus knew that he would need to recast the spell to prevent the hat from trying to sort new students into Peverell House. House Peverell had been shut down ever since a former headmaster decided that House Peverell was not needed. Albus knew that even with the spell if a heir was found the house would rise again and that would create to much paperwork to fill out.
Albus decided to cast the spell before he went to bed and stood up. He walked over to the hat and as he cast the spell it rebounded back at him. He was thrown over his desk and he landed on the floor the castle started to shake. As the castle shook the Sorting Hat began to sing.
"Oh, House of Peverell, for too long you have been gone. You will face adversity and be ridiculed. Fear not because you will bring the other four houses together."
Not long after the hat sang the castle stopped shacking and as the dust settled Albus stood up shacking. He couldn't believe at the heir to House Peverell had been found. Dumbledore started to sit in this chair when he felt all but the basic wards connected to Hogwarts being ripped from him.
Albus started to cry for the first time in over 100 years because he now knew that an heir or heirs to the Hogwarts four, no now five, had been found and his time as headmaster was ending. Albus started to think of who the heir/heirs could be and came up with an idea.
He ran to a wall and placed a hand on it and asked in his mind who the heir/heirs were. The castle told him that the HEIR would make themselves know soon enough and that Dumbledore should start packing because the castle felt that he wouldn't make it past the first week of the new school year.
Albus walked to his desk slowly and sat down in his throne like chair and thought. A couple minutes later the door to his office slammed open and Professors McGonagall and Snape ran into the room. They both began to ask him questions and he held up his hand and asked McGonagall to talk first.
"Albus, what happened? The castle started to shake, and a new tower erupted from the ground."
"Minerva, it appears that there an heir to all the Hogwarts founders have been found."
"An heir has been found? The lines have been dead for years and why would a new tower appear?
"It is a little-known fact that there use to be five houses until about 250 years ago. A previous Headmaster closed it down and cast a spell that prevented the sorting hat from sorting students into it. Only a true heir of the line being found would prevent the spell from working."
"What was the houses name? We need to inspect the tower, find a new Head of House and redo all the class schedules."
"The houses name is Peverell and if I remember right from what I have read the last Head of House was a Pomfrey. So, we might have to ask Madam Pomfrey to be the Head of House."
"Madam Pomfrey? She is a healer not a teacher."
"I know that she has been wanting to teach a Healing class and I might have to allow her to teach it so that she can be the Head of House."
Satisfied, Minerva turned a briskly walked out of the office. Severus was about to speak when there was a sharp whistle coming from one of the trinkets on Dumbledore's table near his desk. Albus's face paled and ran over it the device and pulled out his wand out of his pocket and taped the device.
After a moment Dumbledore looked at Severus and spoke.
"Severus, the blood wards at Harry's aunts house has failed! I need you to go there and check on Harry!"
"Headmaster why send me? Why don't you go? I hate the brat and he hates me."
"Severus, we have no time to argue and time is running out! You owe me your life! Go to his house or you will be fired!"
With a huff Severus turned and walked out of the office. Turning back to his desk Albus pulled out a piece of parchment and started to write a letter.
"Dear Lord/Lady Hogwarts,
My name is Albus Dumbledore and I am the Headmaster of the school. I have recently discovered that you have taken control of Hogwarts and I need to speak to you ASAP. If it is okay with you can we meet tomorrow at 12 pm. Please send your response to me and I will send Fawkes to pick you up then.
Sincerely,
Albus Dumbledore/Headmaster"
Albus hands the letter to Fawkes and tells him to take it to the new owner of Hogwarts and wait for a response. Albus then has an idea and casts a tracking spell on Fawkes to see where the heir was.
Fawkes leaves in a flash of fire and through the spell figures out that the heir is at Gringotts. An hour later Fawkes returns with a new letter. Albus took the letter and read it.
"Dear Albus Dumbledore,
Yes, I am the new owner of Hogwarts, but I will meet with you when the time is best for me not for you. I will see you on September 1st when I reveal myself. Until then keep your nose out of another person's business.
Sincerely,
Lord Hogwarts."
Albus was furious at the letter and pulled another piece of parchment from his desk and with his wand turned it into a portkey and handed it to Fawkes and told him to take it to the heir.
Fawkes gave Albus a funny look and left again. Albus didn't have to wait because he felt the wards that he still had told him that several people were coming. Albus was shocked to know that more than one was coming and before he could act several heavily armed Goblins appeared in the office and started to attack him.
He started to cast stunning spells and the goblins deflected the spells with their swords and battle axes. While this was happening Albus noticed that one of the goblins was staying out of the fight and he realized that that goblin was a spell caster and was about to cast a spell. Albus knowing the fight was soon going to be over he dove at Fawkes crying, "Fawkes get me out of here!"
One of the goblins then threw a dagger at Fawkes and struck the bird. Fawkes cried out in pain and erupted in a Burning Day. Albus screamed in rage and was about to start casting the Killing Curse when the goblin spell caster pointed its finger at Albus and before he could do anything blackness overtook him.

Number 4 Privot Drive/Outside
Severus Snape appeared outside of the stuck up...no... Harry's aunts house. He cast a notice-me-not charm and moved closer. He walked up to bay windows and looked through and saw that the muggles were having a dinner party. Severus thought for a minute and decided to just knock on the front door.
Severus walked up to the front door and then lifted the charm. He then transfigured his clothes into a dark shirt and jeans. He then knocked on the front door and waited. After a moment the front door opened, and a great whale of a muggle demanded to know who he was and why was he there.
"My name is Severus Snape and I work at the school where you nephew attends. I need to speak to him right now."
"You work where? Wait...NO... I will not have some freak from that freak school in my house! I am having a very important dinner party and even if we weren't having one you still could not come in. Leave now or I will call the police!"
With that the muggle started to close the door but Severus pulled his wand and shot a stunning spell at the muggle. The muggle crashed to the floor and four more muggles, one being a child, ran into the room and one of them started to scream at him.
"What have you done to my Vernon?!"
"I have just stunned him, but he will be okay, for now. I am here to see Harry but first we need more privacy."
With that Severus waved his wand and the other two muggles and the child fell to the floor asleep. The woman looked like she was about to attack him when she finally recognized him.
"Wait...I know you from somewhere but where? OH NO! NOW I REMEMBER! You were that Snape boy that told Lily that she was a freak and then dated her before she got together with that Potter boy
"Yes, hello Petunia, it has been a long time, but I have no time to relive the old days. I have come to speak to Harry. The wards that the Headmaster placed around your house to keep Harry safe have failed and I need to speak to him NOW!"
Petunia looked like she was about to refuse but didn't. She walked to the stairs and screamed up them.
"Harry! Get your butt down here this instance!"
Neither, Petunia or Severus, heard any response from upstairs and they both went up them to get Harry. Once upstairs Petunia walked to one of the doors in the hallway and started to bang on it. There was no answer and she opened the door to a empty room. Petunia turned to Severus and spoke.
"I don't understand, he should be up here, we told him not to leave his room. Not even to use the bathroom."
"Why would you not let your nephew use the bathroom? I thought he was a pampered prince that did anything he wanted."
"A pampered prince? Ha! Don't make me laugh. The freak is lucky to even eat if we are in the mood to let him, but we need to figure out where he is."
Severus pulled out his wand and waved it trying to figure out where Harry was. Frowning he turned to Petunia and spoke.
"I cannot detect him in the house. It appears that he has left by magical means. The Headmaster will not be happy. I need to leave now to report back to him, but I need to ask you a couple questions because what I have found."
"Fine! Ask your questions because I need to wake Vernon back up and finish this dinner."
"Are you not worried about your nephew?"
"Bloody Hell, no, I am happy that the little freak is gone. He has been nothing but trouble ever since he been here, after all the years of grief that we have had to endure, I wish I had let Vernon dump the freak at a orphanage."
"Do you not love your nephew and why do you call him "freak"? He is the only remaining link to your sister. I would expect you to love and spoil him."
"Love? No! Yes, he might be my sister's son, but my family hate freaks and their unnatural abilities! If you find him tell him to never darken my doorstep again."
With that said Severus walked out of the room. He was furious at what he had just learned. The Headmaster had lied to him. Yes, he might hate the spawn of Potter, but he still loved Lily. As Severus descended the stairs, he pointed his wand at the muggles that were asleep and modified their memories and revived them.
He then turned to the great whale of a muggle and modified his memories too. He then revived the muggle and walked out the door. He closed the door and walked to the street. Severus turned around and looked at the house and sneered. Then with a crack he was gone.

Gringotts: Two hours before the battle
Harry was flabbergasted at the revelation. He took a moment to compose himself and asked, "Wait, there was five Hogwarts houses? How is that possible? She was a muggle-born! How can she be descended from Ravenclaw?"
Ragnarök chuckled and started to explain everything, "Believe it or not most muggle-borns are actually descended from diluted pure-blood lines that squibbed out. So, apparently your mother is descended from the Ravenclaw and Peverell lines. It comes as no surprise that your father is descended from Gryffindor and Peverell but Hufflepuff is a complete surprise. Apparently the Hufflepuff line married into the Potter line. Before we do anything else, we need to read rest of the test, then read the will and then get the account managers in here to work out a plan to work together."
Harry stared at Ragnarök in a complete daze trying to sort through all the information. He couldn't understand how his father didn't take up the Gryffindor and Hufflepuff lines at least. Ragnarök pulled another piece of parchment out and poured the rest of the potion onto it. He spoke another spell and more words appeared. He read what was on it and started to apparently cuss in the goblin language. He slammed finger onto a rune on his desk and a moment later a goblin entered.
"Summon Accountant Stoneaxe! Have him bring all the paperwork for Minor House Weasleys!". snarled Ragnarök. Harry was really starting to become confused. "Director Ragnarök, why are you summoning Accountant Stoneaxe? What does it have to do with me?"
Ragnarök took in a deep breath and slowly handed the parchment to Harry. Harry started to read what was on the parchment and turned to the side and started throwing up. Ragnarök snapped his fingers and a trashcan appeared.

After a couple minutes Ragnarök cleared his throat and began to speak slowly. "From what this says and your reaction there is more to this than you have told me. From what this says it appears you are a time traveler. This might surprise you, but you are not the first wizard the Lord Death to send back. I first thought that there might be more because our records indicate that you have an owl not a phoenix. But now this confirms my thoughts. A few minutes ago, when I demanded that Accountant Stoneaxe come here is because of two reasons. First is that you have a sister and even I didn't know that. Secondly there is a Illegal contract between you and House Weasley. I would bet that unless you are gay then it is between you and your sister."
Before Ragnarök could continue there was a flash of fire and a letter dropped in front of Harry. A moment later Fawkes landed on Harry's chair. Harry started to pick up the letter before Ragnarök stopped him, "Lord Potter do not touch that before I check it for spells." Ragnarök waved his hand over the letter and nodded. Harry read the letter and started to laugh. After a moment Harry started to speak, "Can I borrow a quill and a piece of parchment? Dumbledore apparently wants to meet tomorrow. I will not meet him until September 1st." Ragnarök nodded and started to pull out the requested items but stopped. "I think before you do that, we need to read the will and then summon some guards because if I know Dumbledore as well as I do then we will try something, and we need to be ready."
With that Ragnarök snapped his fingers and a box appeared on his desk. He opened it up and pulled the will out. Ragnarök cleared this throat and began to read:
"I, James Charlus Potter, being of sound mind and body, do hereby bequeath everything I own, in both money and property, to my son and daughter, Harrison James Potter and Rose Lilian Potter, with several personal bequests."
"Firstly, to my closest friend and confidant, my brother in all but blood, Sirius Orion Black, I leave 200,000 galleons. Don't spend it all in one go, Padfoot."
"Secondly, to my other dear friend, Remus John Lupin, I leave 100,000 galleons and an annual 5,000 galleons should he not have current employment."
"Thirdly, to my friend, Peter Edmund Pettigrew, if I died by natural causes, then I leave you 100,000 galleons, as well. However, if I died by Voldemort's hand or at the hands of a Death Eater, then I demand your immediate arrest. I trusted you with my and family's lives when I appointed you as Secret-Keeper. Also, to the Aurors reading this if we died because of Peter, he takes to form of a common garden rat."
"I, Lily Jane Potter nee Evans, being of sound mind and body, take upon myself the continuation of this will."
"Should both I and my husband be dead, the following people have been approved as suitable guardians for our children.
Francis Albert Longbottom and Alice Diane Longbottom nee Baldwin: they are friends of ours and Alice is the children's godmother. They are settled, married couple who have a child of their own and are our first choice as guardian.
Arthur Weasley and Molly Weasley nee Pewett: They might have a LOT of children, but they would raise our children if they were their own.
Sirius Orion Black: while I feel that Sirius tends to be irresponsible, I know he would always put our children first and would defend them with his dying breath; this is why we allowed Sirius to perform the godfather ritual.
Remus John Lupin: while he might be reluctant to look after two children due to a certain health condition, we feel that he can care for our children.
Amelia Susan Bones: she is James' god sister and a good friend of ours; she is looking after her niece and I know that little Susan got along swimmingly with Harry whenever we were asked to babysit."
"Should any of these people be unable to look after Harry and Rose, we request that they be placed with a family determined by the Wizengamot as long as that family was never involved with the Death Eaters; not even if they claimed to have been under the Imperius Curse. To whichever family that they are sent to live with, a stipend of 50,000 galleons per child will be supplied each year."
"Also, under no circumstances are children to ever go to my sister and her family. Petunia and I are not on good terms and I know that she and her husband despise magic."
This will was witnessed by Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore
Harry was speechless during and after Ragnarök read the will. Dumbledore knew Sirius was the Secret Keeper and didn't do anything about it. He knew that Harry had a sister and never told him about it and it was Ginny. Harry started to get sick again thinking about all the times they made out in the future. Before Harry could start speaking a goblin entered the office and was carrying a stack of papers. He laid the papers down on the desk and Ragnarök told him to contact the Weasleys and have them come the bank. The goblin left the office and Ragnarök started to read the paperwork. After a bit he looked up and sighed, "We will need to bring in the Weasleys before continuing. Until then we will need to send the letter to Dumbledore."
Ragnarök pulled out the previously requested items and handed them to Harry. Harry wrote out a quick letter and handed it back to Ragnarök, "Could you charm it to look differently? I don't want Dumbledore to know it was me writing to him before I meet with him." Ragnarök chuckled and waved his hand over the letter and Harry picked it up and rolled it. He then handed it to Fawkes and Fawkes left. A few minutes later Ragnarök started to laugh and Harry asked, "What is so funny?"
Ragnarök settled down after a minute and started to explain, "Dumbledore apparently forgot that portkeys that are sent to Gringotts are sent to our security team and they just left to deal with Dumbledore. In a few minutes we will go down to the dungeons and deal with him."

Undisclosed Location
Albus slowly woke up to darkness and the feeling of something over his head. He tried to move and discovered he was sitting on a chair and also his hands were bound behind him. After a moment he realized that he was in deep trouble.

Further notes:
I am so sorry that I was gone for a long time, but I am back. Yes, Severus and Lily dated in school in my story, but they broke up after he uttered that horrible word. This will be a huge part of the story. And I know that I will get a lot of horrible trolls going after my blood for the twist after I changed Ginny into a Potter. I looked it up and the timeline would fit.
