{A/N I did do some proof reading but please understand that I rush typing since I don't get much down time from work. Thank you, to those who were nice about reminding me to look it over. (LadyPhoenix68, and Gooberdee AKA the wife lol) I suck at some things so I notate that these classes are not in any particular order. }

previously:

"Plans that fail before they begin and still no idea just how they are connected to the missing Harry Potter, leave me, but if you can learn more about them from this.. Drow..then please inform me as well." He was already told that the elves could not pop in to serve them snacks and drinks or to spy on them out of sight. Now he can't slip a loyalty potion into their food and drink either. This was getting complicated and it was only the first night.

Chapter 3*******************

The next morning they received a knock at the door. Alice was already up and dressed. She looked at a piece of glass beside the door. "Hello Professor Mcgonagall, what can we do for you today?"

The woman jumped at the words coming from the door. "How..did...Oh I was asked to inform you that Headmaster Dumbledore wishes to see you in his office after breakfast."

"Oh my, that's not good. Just a moment." Alice opened the door as she and Harry stepped out. The room was darkened so no one could see into it. "Professor, if we go to breakfast and eat a little bit then we will be lacking proper nutrients for the classes till lunch and if we eat a proper breakfast then go see him we will miss our first class introduction. Do you happen to know what the class schedule will be?"

Harry looked as impassive as he could waiting for the answer but he already knew how this was to play out. He smiled as the woman let those facts work into her head. They were worded so that they did not question anyone's 'loyalty'. They were worded not to trigger any loyalty charms or potions.

Mcgonagall stood there for a second. "Oh yes, you will be attending classes with my Gryffindors..."

"SO our schedule will be the exact same as the Gryffindor House?" Alice suddenly scowled. "Tell The Headmaster to come to breakfast as we will not be subject to any actions that will harm our health or our education." With that both Crowleys headed away from the older woman.

As soon as they arrived they extended the table they were given as well as added the Hogwarts banner. The added a second banner. 'This table is for all Hogwarts students who don't care about House rivalries and wish to be TRUE Hogwarts students.'

The teachers glared at this as they entered but already a couple Ravens and Puffs had come over. Hermione looked at the banner and questioned if it was allowed but as she did her mind repeated the Drow's words. She eventually walked to them. "Harry, Alice, Good morning. Whats going on here I never read about anything like this so...well.." She looked around, "Has there ever been a fifth House table?"

"No, the better question is ...When did the Tables get divided into Houses instead of being a place to sit and eat with friends, Regardless of the Sorting?" Alice had said that loud enough for all the students and teachers o hear. By the end of first class those words will have reached everyone.

They were interrupted by a boy in red and gold trim with a badge handing Hermione and them some type of notice. "Your schedules for classes." He was ready to walk away till he noticed the glares and the fact that the pair did not take the schedules.

Harry's was coldly glaring at the paper. "Who are you again?"

"Percy Weasley, Gryffindors prefect and Head boy. Take your schedule so I can get back to my meal."

Alice hissed at him. "Why is a Prefect from Gryffindor giving us our schedules that clearly show what we have already spoke to Professor Mcgonagall about? We will not accept them till after we speak to The Headmaster. You however have no right to demand a lesser students compliance just because you don't wish to be bothered to do your duty no matter the time or place."

" And just who do you think you are..?"

"The wife and Lady of and Arcane house. Someone who will get up in the middle of the night if need be to deal with House affairs. Someone who will treat those under her charge with respect, ESPECIALLY if this is their first time in such an environment. That is who and what I am. Not a thought but a fact."

The hall stood silent as the well known head boy git was verbally waylaid and then corrected on his wording as well. The Slytherin table were impressed and slightly swayed as act that would have made Salazar pleased. At this time Dumbledore made

"That was an interesting statement young lady but please save such actions for a more private setting as the Great hall is for breakfast. Now if you will accept your..." Albus never finished his words.

Harry stood slowly then turned to face directly at the old coot. "Let me explain to you why this needs to be done in front of witnesses. This person is to represent the highest honor of this school and acts like his duties at that honor are not worthy of his time or effort. Lets also address your actions since last nights feast. I clearly stated we would not be part of your foolish segregation by House names. You place our privet chambers very near the Gryffindors dorms, you had the Head of the Gryffindors House speak to us morning. And now the Gryffindors prefect is handing us schedules that clearly place us in all classes with Gryffindors. That is a very evident statement to the others that we are aligning with Gryffindors. Perhaps you wished us not to chastise 'their' prefect in public as to uphold this easily manipulated understanding."

He turned to the whole teachers table to register their actions. "Fix the schedule and after the house elves finish preparing a new private chambers for us, away from any House dorms, then we will notify the Deputy Headmistress as you clearly can not be trusted to uphold your oaths to the betterment of education, WHEN YOU ARE SO CLEARLY CAUGHT UP IN YOUR OWN DELUSIONAL MICROMANAGING OF THE STUDENTS LIVES."

The hall was perfectly silent as he finished, even the look on the other professors faces showed they agreed with these facts. The Ravenclaws were quickly writing things down and the Gryffindors were actually appalled by the actions. Two red heads stood up clapping. "Lord Crowley,on behalf of the Gryffs, We formal acknowledge that that we had no idea about those events and would have thought nothing of it till later."

Mcgonagall was furious. "ALBUS DUMBLDORE, when you had me ask them to come to your office after breakfast I was not sure but now I believe you could have had some scheme to make it look as if they did get sorted even after their speech last night. Lady Crowley told me that that would have either interrupted their morning meal or made them late for first class of the first day. I see that that is also not a good way to start their Hogwarts education. I will discuss this with you at my next break period." She stormed out of the Hall.

"It seems that you enjoy your speeches my...'"

"LORD!. I did not become a respected and emancipated person in the Domain of Crowley to be addressed as less then my station. And certainly not from those who refuse to look around themselves in circumstances such as these. Moppy.." POP A house elf appeared and snapped it fingers correcting the schedules so they shared their classes evenly. "I also did a few more important actions when dealing with your manipulations last night. Go back to your office and prepare to defend your actions to the Board of Governors this coming weekend." with that he returned to his seat as did Alice and continued to speak with the ones around them on non magical inventions and ideas.

The days went to slow for the pair as they started their classes, each professor was sorely outclassed and even overwhelmed when faced with the knowledge of an unrestricted education. At the end of the week all of the teachers had gone to Albus with questions that he was not wanting to answer. He did say he would look into things but he had no idea how to even address them without showing that Hogwarts was not the greatest school.

The dinner Friday was full of gossip from the other students. Many times the Slytherins were suddenly dropped in front of the headmaster with their wands out. He found out that a safety ward to deter and punish students using offensive spells on others was reactivated. That was one of the changes he regretted Harry doing.

Another was the actual enforcement of points being earned or lost and justified. The safety runes in the Potions classroom were also activated causing a students potion to immediently be removed if it became unstable. Add to that the safety barriers that activated around any student throwing an extra ingredient into another cauldron Snape had to punish his snakes for the barrier to be removed.

Flitwick's charms class was completely baffled at the fact that Harry did not do any of the basic movements. His style was cleaner and faster as well as easier to remember. By the end of the week, Flitwick was taking notes.

Herbology was interesting as never had any first year thought about using the Silencing charm on the Mandrakes. Sprout noted that the devil's snare nearby actually pulled away from Alice when she leaned too close to it.

Professor Binns was nervous around the air and did not spout his usual 'goblin hating propaganda' with the lesson. He at one point asked for feed back from the class. That was quite the surprise.

The most notable occurrence was every time Dumbledore tried to assert some form of authority it was reversed on him using logic. The best argument was about allowing second chances to those who would abuse that system. Harry stated a second chance should still hold great punishment and a vivid reminder of who merciful that chance is. He then told of removing an offenders magical core completely for breaking the second chance. "Extra chances were a fools option."

That Friday Harry looked oddly pale and was slowly eating. Alice kept looking at him nervously. They spoke it a language that none could understand. Albus finally had enough, despite the students from all four houses sitting with them, he approached Harry.

"Lord Crowley-Perevell, you don't seem to be well. Perhaps Madam Pomfrey should look you over, she is very good at helping sick students." His twinkling eyes and grandfatherly smile were too obvious as his suggestion was basically something Harry could not argue with.

FWOOSH Fawkes appeared in a flame in front of Alice with a Bottle in his beak.

"Good they finished it...Harry!" She watched as Harry grabbed his chest over his heart and almost folded over himself with a grimace. She quickly handed him the bottle and watched him down it before returning to his pain filled position. Albus looked on in wonder as did the entire Hall. Slowly Harry eased his form and smiled at Alice before taking her hand. "Thank you Fawkes. You got here in time. Tell Father I need him to send a Core Pod."

Alice looked happy but even Hermione saw the clear worry in here eyes. The word 'affliction' nagged at her again. Before she could ask the Crowleys excused themselves and headed to bed.

The hall started to whisper more at the arrival of the Headmasters phoenix, coming to the aid of Lord Crowley. Later that evening Alice was heading back from a quick chat with Professor Sinestra, alone, when she was pulled into a nearby bathroom. Three girls were looking at her with mixed expressions and the two who pulled her looked as though they did not want to part of this.

"Well, you have my attention so lets get this started shall we?" Alice looked around at them with her stone faced mask that even these Slytherins would be proud of.

One of the girls, who looked like a troll in a dress, glared at her. "Can the fake bravado Missy, you don't have your 'Lord' around to protect you. As if a little girl like you would actually be married, its not allowed by law till your at least 17."

"I say we rough her up for what her little boyfriend did to my Draco on the train. He still looks at them with contempt when he should be looking at me with affection. The house of Parkinson will not allow such actions against my betrothed."

The two behind her loosened their grips as they did not approve of this. That opening was all she needed as she smiled at the three in front of her. "You are greatly mistaken on many facts. First is that I am married to him as the laws of The Domain of Crowley or set forth by the King himself. Second is that I do not do 'fake bravado' as you called it. Third is that the blonde ponce lied to you when he said it was my 'husband' who defeated him and his flunkies. Oh, and finally, my husband is not the one protecting me. As you all saw he is not in the best of health recently, so I am the one to protect him and those who befriend us. I am also the one who beat the crap out of your git if a betrothed with but two hits...like this."

The movement was so fast none could really follow it. Alice was in front of Millicent Bulstode with her foot forcing the massive girl into a folded position. Suddenly, Lady Crowley was in mid air with a sweeping kick hitting all three of the offenders into the nearby wall. "Ladies, I can tell who was in charge and who was not aware of this event. Escort me to my quarters and we shall chat along the way. I see it that you simply wished to speak with me when these three...stepped in."

"Tracey Davis, and this is Daphne Greengrass. Like you said we only wished to talk. Can I ask how you did that?"

Alice smiled at the girls as they left the bathroom. "I am the Daughter of the King of Hell. If I cannot defend myself then how am I to aid my husband, My heart is his and his soul is mine...well that's how we stated our vows, but we do love each other so its all good in the end."

The two girls stalled in their steps. Both repeating the words, "'King of Hell'?"

"Why yes, Terra Mortis translates loosely as Land of the Dead, or hell, Tartaurus,or The Underworld, but we call it home. By the way...I am actually blood related to the King and Harry married me to be given the title of Lord Crowley. Oh look were here. Please come join us at meal time with any other questions, or if you need to be discrete than you can leave a note in this box by our door. Good night ladies."

They left for their common room no longer worried about what the others would do. All they had to say was that the tree idiots tried to harm the Daughter of a King. The King of Hell part would be kept for future threats if need be.

Scene Break*******************************************************

The next day Mcgonagall was sent to collect the pair for a meeting with the Headmaster. As she was welcomed into the new chambers she saw a massive metal casket like structure. "What is that Lady Crowley,?" She watched as it stated to part in the center and open to show Lord Cowley stepping out, in all his uncovered glory. "Young Man please cover up...Are..are those tattoos?"

Along his arms and legs, wrapped around his wrist and ankles, around his neck and shoulders, and down his spine where runes and designs she had never seen before. He looked at her as if nothing was wrong but then she saw his eyes. Not the AK green but an odd ethereal purple. He closed his eyes and exhaled a small cloud of green smoke and the scent of brimstone. She turned to Alice as Harry calmly walked to the room to dress.

Alice smiled at the look on her face. But his words from the room caught her off guard. "Alice, time to test my theory. The Medi-witch shall help with it." as he stepped out of the room fully dressed he asked Mcgonagall to lead them to the Infirmary.

She misunderstood and stated, "I'm glad you are listening to the Headmaster, I have no idea why you are so negative to him but I hope this is a step to some form of respect between you two."

Alice giggled as they headed out. "Deputy headmistress, Why are you the one to speak of respect when he has you doing almost all the actual duties and work of running Hogwarts yet he does what he deems prudent to run the school his way. We will see how long that last after we do what is needed in the infirmary." With those words they walked in silence till they came to Poppy's office.

Harry stood by her desk with a frown as his glowing green eyes searched over the two older women. "I will allow you to do your test on me but only after you drink this. Both of you." He placed two small potion bottles down on the desk and stepped back. Poppy quickly looked them over and raised an eyebrow.

"These, young man, are St. Mungo's Purging droughts Why do we need to drink theses?" He simply stood there with an stone look. After a silent minute Alice broke the tension. "Ladies, if you have nothing to worry about then prove your trust in the care of your well being under Dumbledore and drink the potions."

The two were quick to grab the potions and down them with out hesitation. Two waste bins appeared in front of them as soon as the last drop hit their throats. With in seconds they relieved all the contents of their morning and then some. To say they were surprised was very much an understatement. They were livid as so much seemed to be reveled to them. Poppy looked at the filing cabinet with a tear. "So many children who needed help but he would just tell me to lose the evidence, he was not the leader of the light we thought." Mcgonagall nodded to it as well. But she flinched as Poppy waved her wand over the older woman and gasped.

"The goat faced rat basterd of a (continued cursing in Gaelic. not for sensitive ears.)..."

Poppy looked horrified, " He obliviated us and he did it a lot. I am under oath not to speak of a patients medical unless it effects the school but he made me see it that all these personal issues where relevant to the school." She was starting to cast another spell and Harry stood back as it hit Minerva. The look on her face was matched by the whirlwind of pure magical energy flying around her. The rest of the morning was spent having the other teachers purged.

After about 3 hours freeing the teachers and other staff from the effects of Dumbledore's Obliviates and Loyalty potions, the Crowleys were allowed to contact the Head of the DMLE. Amelia Bones was not a happy camper to hear of this new evidence about the old coot. She quickly came through the floo as Dumbledore was heading to the Infirmary after a ward alerted him to the unexpected arrival.

When he got there he was greeted by three Aurors holding him at wand point. Amelia was reading over the scan report of both Poppy and Minerva. She was not happy. "Albus Dumbledore, you are hereby under arrest for illegal dosing and Obliviation of School Faculty and students. Allowing a Dangerous creature into the school and setting a trap for a dead Dark lord in a facility with the future of the Wizarding world in attendance. Do not resist and please follow us."

The Owls were all sent out within the hour of the arrest spreading through the entire school. The Minister for Magic spoke with Mcgonagall to let her know that there were multiple issues being brought against the school and Dumbledore would be removed of his position. She was asked to attend the next Governors meeting they would hold after Dumbledore's trial. Hogwarts was closed for the rest of the term with hopes to reopen for the next term with some extra teachers.

The Crowleys rode the train with the other students. Hermione looked at Harry with the question on her mind. Finally she broke, "Harry, what is your affliction?"

His smile made her nervous as his words echoed in her head. Her eyes widened as she heard those three words.

"But ..how ...how can you..I mean your magic...and your health...and..." That last part ended as her mind shut down. She was awoken as they reached Kings Cross station. She hugged them both and refused to let assumed logic decide her fate after that conversation.

Scene Break

The Grangers were not pleased about things going the way they were. They paid good money for the tuition but the Ministry simply stated that their Daughter could return next term when things reopened. That was clearly not acceptable to them. But the oddest thing was when their little girl came into the office very pale and withdrawn, holding a letter addressed to them.

The letter was standered looking save for the wax seal with a crest of some old lordship they did not know about. Hermoine simply looked at it with worry but refused to open it as it was clearly for the parents. They asked her about this being from Hogwarts but she shook her head. "Thats...Thats Lord Crowleys seal dad, He's the one I told you about. The one to expose all the problems at school."

He ripped it open and read the letter frowning then looking confused. "Dear, do we have plans for Wednesday evening?"

"No dear, why?"

"Because we have just been invited to a meet and greet dinner with a Lord Crowley-Perevell, he says it will be informal but business like. And he is offering us reparations for his actions in 'hurting Hermoine's education.' as he calls it. I do believe I will be closing early for this."

Scene Break************************

The restaurant was not over the top but it was not one they would go to either. The Hostess looked at them with a slight sneer. "How Many?"

"Actually we are meeting a Lord Crowley, we have an invitation.."

That caused the Hosts eyes to widen, "My apologies, this way please." They were lead to a private room off to the side and told to order whatever they wished. They did not have to wait long as three others were entering the room. Hermoine stood up and looked at them.

"Thank you for this dinner but what is it hat is going on?"

Alice walked up and hugged the girl till she calmed down as Harry walked to the table escorting a very attractive woman with porcelain white skin and ruby red lips. She wore a form fitting but not revealing dress of fine silk and her black hair contrasted her skin. She was the embodiment of gorgeous and sexy.

"Pleased to meet you, Mr. and Mrs. Granger, please call me Lilith, Lilith Crowley." her words seemed to put the man in a trance for a second but he shook it off and introduced himself as Daniel and his wife as Emma. He noticed his wife looking confused at her as they all sat down. "You may have noticed my words cause a bit of reaction to others, but as long as you love someone as deeply as you do each other then it will be a simple calming sensation. Now Harry has spoken to the Headmistress at Grimspire as to what happened at Hogwarts..."

Hermoine looked around at the door as the waitress walked in. "Hello, Im Mellisa, What drinks would you like to start with...Oh hello Harry, Alice. Will it be the usual?"

"Hello Mellisa, yes for us but please see to our guests, oh and Hermoine here is a first year Raven."

Hermoine looked at the girl with wide eyes. "You were in Hogwarts?"

"Yes, I decided that after my OWLs I would enhance my muggle education. I'm a.. (looks at Harry) ..A first generation witch. That place had a lot of magical education but it was so behind the times that it did not really prepare you for life after school. Then I meet Duncan, and that lead to meeting the Crowleys and then getting a real education at Grimspire."

She took the drink orders and some appetizers and left. Dan looked a confused about those words. " I take it I was highly misled in the greatness of this Hogwarts school, but why is it you want our Hermoine to try your school? I can't get the tuition back from this 'Ministry of Magic' and I really don't want to pay for..."

Harry interrupted, "That is where your are mistaken, You will not be paying for her to attend. You will be allowed to visit the Academy and she will be allowed to come home on the weekends. There will be none of this foolish 'separation of society' between parent and child. I will answer any and all questions and we can arrange you to come for an open house visit to see your opinion on the classes. I' am saying that her schooling will be your decision, not someone else whom you have never met."

Dan looked at his wife as she too thought this through but her mind kept falling to one question." I'm sorry but we were expecting to Dine with a Lord Crowley-Perevell? Who are you?"

Alice giggled into her hand. " Mother seems to be losing her social touch. This Young man Is Lord Harold Deathson Crowley-Perevell, And I am Lady Alistairian Lilith Crowley. This is my mother, whom I was told not to announce by title tonight. Please understand that there is a lot of things you need to know before the night is through. One of them is something Mellisa said. She meet Duncan, but she met him in a shady part of Magical London while trying to find employment. First gen don't get into Ministry jobs no matter how great their grades and skills. Duncan is a Draken, of Half dragon."

Hermoine looked up in awe as the waitress returned, "Here you go, Is there anything else you need or shall we start the orders?" Dan and Emma looked over the menu while Hermoine kept looking at the girl. Finally her mind hit its limits.

" Excuse me but what is a Draken having to do with her getting into the Acadamy?"

Mellisa laughed quietly and smiled at the girl. "The fact that I didn't treat him like some animal or lesser was one thing but when he saw me doing my book work for getting into a mu..Noid school he asked why I was trying. After a couple conversations I kinda asked him on a date, He is very shy. We fell for each other and he asked the Crowleys to give me a chance at the Academy. The majority of the Acadamy is well...not fully human."

"Come again? Did you say not fully human?" Dan looked a bit put out. But Hermoines mind was going through all she had learned and heard. Her mother though was the one to catch on.

"You did not judge, you accepted and even fell in love with this.. with Duncan. And that is why our little girl has a chance at this Academy as well. I take it there are safety factors for one such as her and Hermoine?"

Harry nodded, " All students are given protection items and arrangements are made for special needs. Lycanthropy does not have to mean being limited to remedial jobs. And not being able to fully hide your appearance is not the end of a dream."

The dinner went by with the Grangers agreeing to meet the next day to do a walk through of the Academy. They were told it was not an acceptance but a way to truly be informed of what they are agreeing to.

S**********

The next morn they were dressed in summer clothes as was warned the area was in a summer climate at the time. They were given special bracelets that allowed them to enter the gateway leading to the grounds. When they arrived they were greeted by a very interesting sight.

Harry was dodging three medium sized fireballs that kept flying at him. He was smiling as the sound of giggling children rang out. They watched in amazement as the man dodged and jumped and danced around the fireballs. Every now and then he would reach out to the side of the fireballs and the giggling would start again. Hermoine smiled as she watched the display.

The Grangers saw a couple of blurs from the side shoot past them and try to hit the young man. Hermoine realized the small furry things were were wolf children and a couple other creatures as well. "He's playing tag with them. But I don't know what the fireballs are."

After another minute he was finally tripped and was 'dog piled' by the kids. A whistle rang out as a smiling Alice walked over to the Grangers. "Lunch in 20, head in and clean up, Lord Crowley has guests so not complaints. See you all at lunch."

She smiled at the now shrinking pile and her husband standing up with three orange skinned girls clinging to him. Thier red and yellow and orange hair and clothes gave the impression of fire."Those are the Ifrit Triplets. They are the most recent Fire Elementals to be born in an eon. And they see Harry as an uncle. So lets get this little show on the road."

{A/N Please note that the fact that no Quirrelmort was in this story. That will be addressed later. I'm trying something a little different but if this type story has been done before please send me the title and author so I can see what they did, and not accidentally plagiarize them. :P }
