(Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry-Great Hall-a week later)
Harry sat down with a smile, Hermione poked him, he turned to her "Yes 'Mione" "What's got you so happy?" Harry grinned "Well two things actually, the first is that it is only two or so weeks till Fleur gets here" Hermione grinned "And the second thing?" Harry looked up and saw the owl posts arriving "You're about to find out". Hermione saw a Daily Prophet newspaper land in front of her, she looked at the title Potter's Heroes Miracle return she started reading it.
Last week a Miracle happened, the heroes of the last blood war, James Charlus Potter and Lillian Maria Potter nee Evens Returned to the world of the living. But how you ask? Well I found out that they hadn't really died at all, you see in a miraculous plan formulated by Lillian Potter, they used an old family ritual which would switch their bodies with look-a-like homunculus's at the moment before death and they would be placed in a magical coma.
The problem with this ritual is that it only works on Adults, so, being the smartest witch of her generation, Lillian then used a secondary ritual which would mean that if the first ritual activated, the only living Potter in the house would be able to stop any form of death magic, which is what You-Know-Who was famous for using, so Harry Potter, the Boy-Who-Lived, survived the curse.
Now from what I have determined form the Minister's current speech and Lord Potter's (Harry Potter) appearance is that Lord Potter has finally taken his rightful place in our society and is working alongside Minister Fudge, James Potter has returned to the Aurors and Lillian Potter has returned to working for the Department of Mysteries, and another thing, it seems that Sirius Black wasn't the Potter secret keeper, it was actually Peter Pettigrew who can transform into a Rat Animagus, his order of Merlin has been removed and a kiss on sight has been established on him.
In Sirius Black's case, a Trail has been formulated and Sirius Black is called in to arrive to the Ministry within the next week so that he is prepared for his trial, the Minister had this to say, "I am glad that young Harry trusted me enough to bring me to see his Parents awakening, now I hope that I can keep his trust by giving his Godfather the trial that he deserves and by fixing a 13 year old mess left by my predecessor".
Hermione turned to Harry who was grinning at the paper, Ron was chuckling "So, Lord Potter, you have your parents back" Harry nodded "And I think that is reason to celebrate, party tonight in the Gryffindor tower and all drinks shall be delivered by Dobby". The Gryffindors cheered and the staff table looked over half amused and half bemused, Harry winked at Dumbledore and Minerva before turning to the twins and whispering "Three…two…one".
A cloud of smoke covered the Gryffindor and Staff table, when it dissipated everyone had changed into the other genders clothes, except the Weasley Twins who were laughing, Harry looked down at himself "Could be worse". Writing appeared as it did last time.
Hogwarts presents the Marauders 2.0's second major prank, we hope the staff members and the Gryffindor's enjoyed our little prank, and don't worry everyone, you'll all have a go, it should be a lot of fun, we may even have something planned of the other schools after they arrive signed; Prongslet, Loki, Seth, Curly, Glacier, Crimson, Eclipse and Cosplayer.
The members of staff all looked at it in confusion, horror and disbelief "I…I don't even know what to say" Albus chuckled "I would like to say that I am very fond of the Marauder's pranks but I also would like to say, that a prank can go too far and would like to ask the Marauders that they do not become bullies, thank you" the hall stared at Albus in bemusement as Albus's eyes twinkled.
(Two Weeks Later-Hogwarts Courtyard)
Harry had begun to seem more and more depressed over the last two weeks and the staff had started to notice, as they all stood in the Courtyard waiting for the other schools, McGonagall pulled Harry aside "Harry, are you feeling alright? you have seemed rather depressed as of late". Harry smiled tiredly "Grandma Minnie, did Granddad tell you about the bond I formed with Fleur?" Minerva nodded "Well, the longer I am away from Fleur the more depressed I will be, I can't imagine the way Fleur must be right now".
McGonagall nodded "I see, well return to your friends and I hope they get here soon" Harry nodded "So do I" he then walked back over to the Gryffindors and stood between Ron and Hermione, Hermione poked him and he looked at her 'What was that about?' Harry smiled 'my depression of late, don't worry, when fleur gets here, and we make contact, my depression will likely disappear' Hermione nodded and glared at Ron as he asked if they would apparate to Hogwarts.
Harry chuckled as his friends bickered, the someone shouted, "Look at the lake" Harry looked over at the lake and saw the green and black pirate ship before leaning over to Hermione "Watch out Hermione, the Flying Dutchman has arrived to drag us down to Davy Jones Locker". Hermione giggled as did a few half-bloods and a lot of the Mundaneborns, Ron just looked at him in confusion, Harry shook his head as the people walked up from the ship to the school, the first man arrive "Albus" Albus smiled "Igor".
Harry noticed that the man's smile didn't reach his eyes as he looked at Hogwarts after hugging Albus "Hogwarts, just as I remember it, has Beauxbatons arrived yet?" Albus shook his head "Not yet, do you want to wait inside or out here?". Igor smiled "Inside, I believe that Victor has a head cold, Victor come" the surly teen walked over and Ron shouted, "THAT'S VICTOR KRUM".
(A few minutes later)
Ron was being teased by the twins and Hermione turned to Harry who was looking up "Did Fleur tell you how Beauxbatons would arrive?" Harry looked at her with a grin "Nope, she said that I would know when they were close, and I do" he looked back up and Hermione saw something in the sky, she couldn't tell what it was though". One of the students shouted, "It's a bird" another shouted, "It's a Plane" Harry shook his head "It's neither of them or Superman, it's the Beauxbatons carriage being pulled by Abraxan".
As the Carriage got lower people could see the giant horses "How did you know what they were?" Harry raised an eyebrow "It's in the Monster Book of Monsters, chapter 5, Horses, the page after Hippogriffs" most of the third and fourth years blushed in embarrassment as the older years nodded, Cedric pulled Harry into a headlock "That's my little Bro, always knows his magical creatures" Harry elbowed backwards "Get off Ced, I have to know, one of my friends teaches the class".
Everything stopped when the carriage landed, a young man came out and bowed as the tallest woman they had ever seen walked out of the Carriage, she walked over to Albus "Dumbleydore, how nice to see you" Albus kissed her hand "Nice to see you as well, Madame Maxime" she nodded as her students came out of the carriage, Harry grinned as he felt the bond begin to strengthen, he looked as the last two members got off the carriage, those blue eyes meet his.
He began moving forward as did she, everyone seemed to move like the red sea from in his way, he continued to walk towards her until they were right next to each other, he smiled [Lovely to see you again, my Beautiful Flower, welcome to Hogwarts] Fleur giggled and smiled back, her eyes twinkling with happiness [Glad to be here, my Handsome Hero] Harry pulled her into a hug and sighed as the bond shot to full strength again, the two sighed with happiness only to look around as they remembered they weren't alone.
Albus and Maxime were smiling at them as was Minerva, most of the other students were either jealous or shocked and Hermione and Ron were grinning at him, the twins were wiping false tears from their eyes at how impressed they were about their brother growing up, Harry let go of Fleur and grinned, she grinned back, he then had a silver haired bullet hit him, he looked down to see Gabby staring up at him with affection [Hello Big Brother] Harry smiled affectionately and picked her up.
He poke her on the nose "Boop" she giggled "Hello to you too, Little Angel, I guess you must have missed me as well" she nodded "Of course I did 'Arry, you are my Big Bro'her, 'ow could I not" he chuckled and turned to Madame Maxime [Greetings, you must be Madame Maxime, Fleur has told me about you, welcome to Hogwarts].
Maxime's smile widened "And I 'ave 'eard about you, 'Arry Potter, Fleur speaks 'ighly of you, as does Gabrielle" Harry blushed and shrugged "I am not all that great Madame, I just do my best to make them smile" Maxime nodded "And it seems you 'ave succeeded then". Harry looked at both of the dazzling smiles and nodded "Apparently so, shall we all go in then?" Albus nodded "That sounds like a plan" and with that the two schools went inside.
(Hogwarts-Great Hall)
Harry sat down next to Hermione and across from Ron, Gabby sat on his lap as she did back at the Mansion and Fleur sat on his other side, the other Beauxbatons students sat at the Gryffindor table as well, Albus stood "Now, welcome to Hogwarts Beauxbatons and Durmstrang, we hope you find your trip here to be exciting and pleasant, please make yourself at home, I hope you meet new friends and reunite with old ones" he looked at Harry, Fleur and Gabrielle who all blushed.
"Now, Argus bring in the unbiased judge" they all turned to the door as Argus Filch ran in carrying a heavy trunk, he placed it down and Albus tapped his Wand on the top of it, it collapsed to reveal a large wooden goblet on a table, Harry glared at it feeling all of the magic flowing from it. "The Goblet of Fire" blue flames lit up inside startling most of the students "Is an unbiased judge for the Tri-Wizard Tournament, it shall be here and you have until tomorrow night to place your name in the Goblet".
Albus then drew his Wand again and drew a blue glowing line around the Goblet "This is an age line, it will stop anyone under the age of 17 from getting their name inside the Goblet, now I want you all to enjoy the next hour and a half before curfew, goodnight". Fleur turned to Hermione "'Ello, it is nice to see you again 'Ermione" Hermione grinned "Nice to see you again as well Fleur" Ron shook his head "It's…nice to…meet you…I'm…Ron" he kept pausing to shake off the effects of the Allure.
Fleur smiled apologetically "'Ello Ron, I am Sorry about my Allure, I will try to keep it under control" Ron nodded and was about to speak again when someone placed something around his neck, he blinked when he realised that the allure wasn't effecting him anymore, he looked behind him to see Luna Lovegood smiling at him "Is that better Ron?" he grinned at her, then looked down at the Bottlecap necklace around his neck, he looked back at her "You are a life saver Luna, I will never doubt anything you tell me ever again".
Luna smiled and leaned down, she kissed him on the cheek before skipping off to the Ravenclaw table, Ron blinked for a minute before looking back at her, she smiled at him and waved before looking down at the magazine in her hand, Ron turned back "I…I…". Harry chuckled but the frowned as he looked at the table "Does she seem a bit…lonely to you guys?" they all looked at the Ravenclaw table a realised that she was on the end of the table with no ne near her.
Hermione frowned "Yes and does Tekuya always glare at the other Ravenclaws like they are the spawn of the devil" Harry and Ron looked at Tekuya who was glaring at the Ravenclaws with a deep loathing. Harry quickly looked over Luna and his hand started shaking in rage, Gabby grabbed his hand and he looked at her, she was staring at him in concern [What's wrong 'Arry?] Harry looked at Luna [Her clothes are slightly too small, her hair is messed up, she is a bit too thin, her clothes also look rather ragged and torn, and she has no shoes on].
Gabby, Fleur and Hermione looked at him in shock before looking over Luna twice and gasping, Hermione turned to Harry "You don't think?" Harry nodded and glared at the Ravenclaws, Ron turned to Hermione "What's going on?". "Harry noticed things about Luna that don't paint a happy picture, he thinks she is either being abused or bullied" Ron frowned "Her Father would never hurt her, I know that much but the Ravenclaws" he then turned and looked over Luna before his eyes widened, he then turned to Harry.
"You…you looked like she did in first, second and third year" Hermione's eyes widened as did Gabby and Fleurs, Harry gulped but nodded "We'll talk about it another time, Fleur, I won't be here tonight or tomorrow, I will likely be back at Hogwarts the day after". Fleur was about to ask when she remembered the Newspaper that Harry had sent to her "You are going to spend time with your parents?".
Harry nodded before sliding Gabby off his lap and getting up, he kissed Fleur on the cheek "See you in two days" he then kissed Gabby on the forehead "See you in two days" he walked over to McGonagall "Professor, may I use your Floo, I would like to go home for tonight and tomorrow, I will be back the day after" Minerva smiled "Of course Mr Potter, I'll take you up there myself" she stood and both of them left the hall.
