Return Of The Marauders

Warnings: This is going to be a what if the Dursleys got all the information and accepted things with Harry living with them as though under surveilance. They accept the order and Harry's friends as part of their lives. And as they connect to them, so this is a change to what the storyline was in the books.

As the Dursleys change and accept Harry and his order now, as his two separate lives come together as one finally.

Disclaimers: Harry Potter doesn't belong to me, the story belongs to me, everything else belongs to J.K. Rowling and Warner brothers

Chapter 27: Further Changes And The Truth Comes Out IV

"I mean it thinks on that, all you have is the headmaster's words, focused on mine, in the words of Ernie Macmillan, a member of my year now, so the headmaster says. So he says, so I say, so he says because I say, point is where is the proof, as I was delirious when I said this. Continue crying werewolf, there will be heck to pay, so tread carefully, with your record people. How soon, before everyone my girlfriend's age to the Weasley twins age had enough and we all say it now."

"But in your eyes the headmaster can't be wrong, why because he's Dumbledore, but what if for once he's wrong and the ministry is right, what then. I print that retraction, any who called me an attention seeking prat get their words reversed on them by this retraction. So tread carefully this year, you are on thin ice here, thank you '." I said and the adults smiled. "Nice wording, it means the same thing, baby." Madam Aggie said with a chuckle to my remark and I nodded.

"Home Alone 3." Penny asked me and I nodded. "Nice touch that's really going to drive the point home, as these movies follow the same pattern. But like you said, we lose something we immediately assume it's been stolen, we see what looks like a break in. We immediately assume it's a break in, if we hear 'he's' back, we immediately assume he is back. But 1 warning is not enough, 2 now, you're asking to be corrected by the chief." Sarah said and our parents nodded.

"And our chief and commissioner are none other then Mr. Scrimgeour and Madam Bones." I said and they smiled. "Before we get the judge coming into this." she said and Crouch nodded sternly in agreement. "And that's all we need right now, first the cops give a gentle warning, before the chief and commissioner do it and then after said second warning, comes the judge. And said trouble maker gets put on probation till further notice." I explained and the adults all nodded.

"First Kingsley, then me and Rufus and next comes Barty." she said and we all nodded and they nodded, "Indeed, you keep this up and the next time you send for help, no one will listen to you, and we won't come, so think on it, young man. So that's enough calling werewolf now, because we're close to having all we can take now, and before we all decide enough is enough now." Scrimgeour said to him sternly as he said it for Crouch and he swallowed hard at that news.

"And who let the werewolf out of the bag exactly?" I asked and Remus looked down smiling then at my teasing him then and Minerva chuckled at that remark gently. "I'm not in a bag, so how can someone let me out?" he asked me and she started laughing. "Everyone knows what you are and none of us care right now, but that's the meaning, but it's not the other." I said and he smiled gently at me then as he answered that remark, knowing I was being his cub again.

"So long as I get you an endless supply in your medicine, you're okay, you're holding a steady job, this opens up the door for other wolves like you, Remus." I said and he smiled. "How big are you now exactly, in wolf?" I asked and he chuckled. "I'm buffalo sized now, cub." he said and I smiled. "Yeah okay, so giving me a ride like you are now, is not a problem." I said and he chuckled. "If you mean wolf transport then no, I can do that." he said smiling gently at that.

"Alright wise guy, keep it up and I'm really going to let you have it, now that's enough of the wolf puns now." he added smiling gently at me and I nodded. "You ever think that now that you and Sirius get to watch me grow up I start acting like your cub and puppy again?" I asked and they both smiled at that. "I never cared what you are, you're a good man, my uncle, Uncle Ooney." I said and I heard a purr in response come out of him and she smiled tenderly then.

"Paddy, Paddy and Ooney, I remember now, guys, Uncle Sev." I said and the trio smiled at the titles. "Yeah that's what you called us, Paddy and Ooney." Remus said smiling and I nodded. "I'm not mad you never took me in, I understand, it's okay, it's on him, not you." I said and Remus nodded smiling gently as I refocused as I looked at Dumbledore sternly at that. "I tell this to the minister and Madam Bones, and they accept that, as I turn on the headmaster now."

"And become a ministry lackey, but his idea to throw me under the bus backfired so highly in his case, the ministry has all the intel they need to start interfering here at Hogwarts now. But Dumbledore says this, Dumbledore says that, Dumbledore thinks, is he really all seeing. All seeing, all knowing, no, he's an old man with a dangerous complex he's a monster. Patterson, he's a power lust driven, megalomaniac, blast it!" I shouted and he swallowed hard at that.

"Who left that playing right now!" Katie said and I froze up and heard the song. "Oh boy, the playback from the 3rd and 4th movies, this one is her boyfriend trying to figure it out. He was getting ready to propose to her after the argument between her and her trio." I said and she and Penny nodded. "At least that's not Patty's song on her demise, because that's you exactly, 'he's' waiting in the wings, waiting for you to let your guard down." Sarah said and I nodded.

"Now who is that exactly?" Oliver asked and I heard the next song and I chuckled. "Ozzy Osbourne, he's playing a sort of on the edge of the river styx song here." I said and he nodded, "But this one's a pretty good one, you were born in the 80's, but grew up in the 90's, with you turning 15 this year, almost out of high school with you 15 now. Anyway to get back to it here, all of you need to understand this, he's a dangerous attention seeker, a manipulative liar."

"I just woke up Patterson, he took me away from my family, my godfather in jail for a crime he didn't commit, it's because of him, my parents are dead!" I snapped and he went white at that remark. "The ministry is full of his former students, all they all see him as either he's mad or worse, he's a power hungry monster, that wand went right to his head. My mother is the bravest adult muggleborn in history, she saw that prophecy as hogwash." I said and he swallowed hard.

"And we're calling it now, 'the headmaster is a dangerous attention seeker, everything we would have claimed on Potter, is aimed at the headmaster. The master head of lies, trying to claim Tom Riddle, better known as he who must not be named. Is utterly convinced that the Dark Lord has returned, based on the word of a very sick and exhausted Chosen One, Harry Potter. Despite Potter asking to erase the trauma from his mind, and saying he was injured, sick from venom.'."

"And burning up from being struck by the torture curse twice, and his claiming, he was hallucinating now, calling in a retraction now. Potter has devised an ingenious plan to prove to us in the ministry that our imperio claiming citizens never gave it up. He has apologized for crying werewolf and we accept the apology of our young hero, saving us. Again and again from he who must not be named.'." Fudge called out and the 20% all paled, realizing they were done.

"Blood traitor, just what does that mean exactly?" Katie's counterpart asked and Arthur explained it to her. "Blood traitor is and was a derogatory term commonly used by elite pure-blood wizarding families to describe witches or wizards. And especially pure-blood ones, who sympathised with the non-magical community or willingly associated with Muggle-borns. We like muggles, and want to be friends with them, but try to protect them from the dangers here."

"Of our world, love, in truth, the derogatory remark of dirty blood, as I'm not saying the word here, is people like Malfoy senior see themselves as better then you. Because they're what we call pureblood, fully magical, not half and half, or suddenly magical to non parents." he said and she nodded in shocked disgust. "That's horrible." she said and I nodded sternly. "Trust me, this is the sickest form of irony you can get, Riddle is half." I said and they nodded in shock then.

"So he who preaches pureblood rights and to cleanse our world of muggle born filth is really the son of a muggle, yes that's irony in the cruelest sense of the word now." Crouch said sternly and I nodded. "He's the heir of Slytherin: the Gaunts." I said and his counterpart nodded. "Typical, Marvolo was a sick, posturing ego maniac, because he was heir of Slytherin, generations. And of inbreeding caused him to suffer a megalomaniac complex." an auror a little older then him said.

"You one of the aurors that arrested him, after Newt got arrested by the American ministry?" I asked and he nodded gently. "I arrested his son one too many times, my name is Robert James Ogden." he said and I nodded. "Mind if I call you Rob?" I asked and he smiled. "No son, I don't that's fine, you're one of us anyway, but a young auror in your prime, not much longer now." he said smiling as Amelia chuckled as I looked at him smiling as the aurors exchanged smiles.

"Well if I do them all before he creates his snake, we got them all, alright that just leaves the snake and his ring now, the ring must be the resurrection stone. So with that in mind as year 5, I'm treating this like year 3, staying indoors, training, pretending everything is fine. But until he reveals himself, it's we wait for him to make a raid at the ministry. And I destroy the snake, but when he killed my parents the last one ended up in me, my scar." I said and they all nodded.

"So you find one of the trio, Malfoy possibly passes you the second and you get the third out of you by the venom, and we did 3 at once, he's got 3 years. And before he can created a seventh, as we find the other 3 and destroy them all, between year 3 and late year 4." Fudge said and I nodded and he smiled at my idea. "But how can he be back there is no sign of him, have anyone in the twins and Katie's age group seen him in the parents?" I said and he smiled proudly then.

"Point made and no, if no one has seen him, than how do we know he is back, if you immediately claim werewolf, and explain in the paper you destroyed 6 of those anchors. All that is left is the bloody snake and himself, as you avenge the caretaker and me, let alone Cedric. In our clones by the said fight, the faster those are destroyed, he knows further slicing his soul up. Said will kill him, so no murders and stay away from you." Bertha said for him at that gently.

"Or just a bloody snippet of Devil's snare, but who expects this thing to be disguised as a potted planet, not realizing it'll kill the first person that touches it here." George said for me and he nodded in agreement sternly. "And all that says is first Arthur, then this, then the whatever it is, followed by the brandy, you're saving life after life, after life here. And they know they're running out of time, before the raid, but stop calling werewolf." he said sternly to that remark.

"In my world that's wolf, but I guess it means the same, but false alarm here!" Penny called out and he chuckled and nodded. " And to repeat the leader of said puppet cast if they do fairy tale fables, but whoever it is making false alarms here. But you must simply stop over reacting, if something bad were to happen, no one would listen to you. But I'm sorry young man, you have cried werewolf one too many times, you've betrayed our trust, we simply can not believe you."

"But who do think you're fooling right now, sure please, we haven't seen said werewolf, so yeah right, sure now." Dora said sternly to that. "Said punchline in the song." Sarah said and Katie started laughing. "There was the explosion in the showers after the pipes exploded, you claimed the death eaters are attacking us, you saw a spider. Said the size of a cat and claimed it was a big one in finding an acromantula full size in the dorms, you screamed werewolf in the dorms."

"After a boggart got in now, we had a salamander get into the castle, looking like a just born dragon and you scream dragon. And after getting tapped on the shoulder by the bloody tree to tell you to get clear, you act like Billy. And freak out after it smacked you in the but, but how many more examples, false alarms, can we take here Jeremy, huh, how many. Before we had enough of this, because they named off Gonzo's false alarms and that's just an example here."

"Really right now, so anymore false alarms, Jeremy, anymore, are you going to keep screaming wolf till we all had it now and we all say it together, so just who do think you're fooling?" Claire said and Patterson paled, realizing he was done. "Yeah right, sure!" we all said together at that. "Yeah I guess the sky is falling, we heard it all before, you pulled that wool right over our eyes too many times with all your lies, so who you think you're fooling…" I said and we said it then.

"Yeah right, sure!" we all said together and he swallowed hard at that. "Whoever named all the transgressions in that play don't over do it, if that song had such a catchy tune. And for kids who constantly cry wolf, that everyone in town decided I'm not falling for it this time. After he cried werewolf one too many times." Severus said as he tried to keep from laughing. "You're half and mum was muggleborn, you spent a few years with the show." I said and he nodded gently.

"Alright, who flooded the showers this time exactly, there's water all over the floor out here!" I heard from an auror and Katie and I looked down at the news. "Alright you two laugh it up, pull yourselves together, cubs." Minerva said with a chuckle and we nodded. "Flood, earthquake, attacking tree, and the old girl outside is the said attacking tree." I said and Minerva started laughing at that. "Well that one's true, but the others, nope." Cunningham said with a chuckle.

"Kermit's song has such a good ring to it, that's a good way to drive the punchline in over reacting home, but don't say it, or we got a chorus line getting started. And from every muggle-born, adult and cub, in the castle here." Addams said and we nodded as Robert answered that. "Alright name it off right now, because his record for false alarms are as bad as Gonzo's right now, before we all had enough and we all say it together in the school later right now."

"At least with you, you knew never to draw attention to yourself." Robert said and Ted, Cunningham and Addams crossed their arms. "Okay there was the stampede of Acros coming out of the forest, attacking tree, said flood after Peeves trashed the bathroom. The explosion we heard in their version of our showers after the pipes exploded, he thought we'd been attacked. And by death eaters, we had a boggart in the dorms and he saw a werewolf in his dormitory."

"And we can trade cow for a 18 foot tall spider, or, if Luna starts getting smart with us again, her bath toy, just giantized, there's a wet spot out there. That's a quicksand threat, the plants are like the sentient plants on The Addams Family." Alicia said and we all nodded bemused as Katie finished the labeling and he realized how bad this looked to us. "But come on right now, there was a time when we'd have believed you, now we have to disagree with this right now."

"It's all a lie, you're making it up, but now we're smarter, so go away now and let us live in peace." she said and Patterson started shaking. "Don't say it, you try to prove it, that can get you killed, this is a case of story telling and one that can show the dangers. The story prior is too much of one thing is not good for you, this fable demonstrates the dangers of calling wolf. And repeatedly, till everyone will not listen, so that's enough lying." Sarah said sternly to him.

"So that's what the cut off meant, you're making it up, but now we're smarter, go away now, let us live, so let us live, is let us live in peace?" Percy asked and we nodded. "God knows we believed him one too many times and before the professors read out that line, or just did. Till after he screams it out and after 3 false alarms in 3 years, we all had enough right now. As the 120 of us all follow you, and get the heck out of dodge." Robbie said to me and Katie nodded.

"Yeah that's an understatement, but imagine if they used Mckean and Warren to play Rubin and Ira's parents." Penny said and they started laughing and nodded in agreement. "Too late they did already, Mckean sounds just like him as an adult, Warren to Rubin. But there's a debate that never gets old, the kitchen argument." I said and she started laughing at that. "Yeah that or just the library, before Kahn broke the glass right now." Justin said laughing at that and she nodded.

"The fight between Martin and the guy playing Boddy, and he, by that I mean Michael, is right, if you can't fight fairly, then don't fight at all." I said and Percy started laughing at that. "Yeah, that was hilarious after the fight broke out, till he and Chris have to separate them." Katie said laughing and I nodded. "These guys are grown men and suddenly someone de-ages 20 years and a fight breaks out, but boys will be boys." Ted said with a chuckle at that and we nodded.

"So when exactly, next school here, or year two to take the edge off?" Katie said and I started laughing at that. "Severus, what was that hex to kill the cobra again?" I asked and he smiled gently. "Vipera Evenasco." he said and I nodded. "Well I don't have to expose, I just use that, because I gave a demo to you after we get the Dursleys here." I said and Remus smiled. "Ooh good point, you're the strongest of your class." Minerva said with a chuckle and Remus nodded.

"To answer the other question with it being a Thursday night, and we're using clones, how about the following night, and we do a double feature. But we're not doing Legend, or that's going to scare the purebloods out of their wits, he's looking like Satan." Addams said smiling and we nodded with a chuckle. "Well how about playing back Treasure Island, I mean once you see this one as an adult wizard, you want to see it repeatedly." I said and they nodded smiling.

"Good point, after hearing the music, you can't get enough of these Muppet movies that everyone in the school is humming it right now. But certain songs the tune has you humming it out till everyone knowing the song, gives the chorus line." Severus said with a chuckle and Cunningham nodded smiling. "Now that's hilarious right now, but Pixar just started, we can do a few of them and a touch with the cartoon kid movies." Ted said and Minerva nodded smiling.

"We're tiny, we're toony…" I heard as I heard every grade in muggleborn all say it together with a smile. "We're all a little looney!" they all said together and Minerva started laughing at that. "Our favorite cartoon, turned movie, hey guys, how about that movie right now here. We can watch them, both the cartoons and preteen shows in the dorms, but G to PG only in the dorms here!" Ricky said and they, the adult quartet, nodded, as Katie looked at Patterson sternly then.

"But to the adults, you cried werewolf one too many times, you betrayed their trust, they simply can not believe you now, while for us, your peers. Once Harry calls out that retraction, who do think you're fooling, yeah right, I guess the sky has fallen and we heard it all before. You pulled the wool right over our eyes now, and too many times with all your lies, Jeremy. So so who do you think you're fooling, so yeah right, sure." Katie said and the faculty nodded in agreement.

"Hey Kingsley, we can use that story to manage year 5." Fred said and he nodded. "Good point, but like she said, there was a time when we'd have believed you, now we have to disagree. But you're making it up, but now we're wiser, so go away and let us live in peace Headmaster. Young man, everyone in my cub's arena had enough of the lies, but we're not listening anymore." he said and they both started shaking, realizing once I called that retraction, they'd never listen.

"You know that one?" I said and she nodded. "I love the muppets, dad keeps me on focused on being muggle than pureblood, but I watch this one all the time. That after I hear that crying wolf scenario one too many times." she said and Sarah, Penny, and the others nodded. "Yeah right, sure!" we all said together and our teachers nodded. "Nice fable in what not to do and sooner or later, they actually do a song and dance over false alarms." Penny said and they nodded gently.

"Before the follow up the next year, Cabin fever?" I said and they started laughing at that. "The ending of the song was hilarious right now, we can do the chorus line in the dorms. But not now, or every pureblood adult is going to die laughing at that." Ricky said to me while leaving his hand on my shoulder and I nodded. "But our way of life, not easy to give up, but wolf, or werewolf, means the same thing, but that's enough over reacting." I said and they all nodded.

"Point taken right now and like we said, you keep this up and when you believe the headmaster, if he says Riddle came back after the tournament, all on Harry's delirious claims. Though Harry told us to erase the memories, none of us are going to listen to you now." Filius said sternly to that and he started shaking. "The Boy Who Cried Werewolf now, you're said boy, young man, you must stop over reacting or we'll never listen to you." Minerva said sternly at that remark.

"And to say this now, all the parents are going to yank their children from this school, once the Ministry prints up the slander here. My retraction, so tread carefully, I can't remember what happened that night, and we added a year here to this. So we're 5th graders to 12th, as Cedric stays for another year, we all get our last year together in the Quidditch teams. Last game of the season, he and I destroy the Slytherin team and we get our real rematch, before he leaves."

"His year of glory, mine and we tie it up with the quartet leaving as Katie and I rebuild the team in year 6, she's an 10 grader, me 9th." I said and they paled, realizing their parents heard or read the news and they weren't going to let them come back. What with the media and ministry claiming Dumbledore was crazy if Voldemort started in their future year. "Year 5, after he stops him and destroys all the anchors." Percy said and Crouch nodded sternly as they nodded then.

"And again everyone, from the twins class, to current first years, I humbly apologize for calling werewolf, dealing with Junior and Peter left me traumatized and secondly. I got bit by a spider right now, before being exposed to the cruciatus curse, so now I know. So the fight was an hallucination, I'm almost done destroying the anchors, I just have the bloody snake. And then if he returns, if he does, he's finished, as I do it myself, don't worry everyone, my team and I."

"It's just year 3 all over again for us, more work in training, less play now, my auror junior team are the Gryffindor quidditch team. But me to Katie, Alicia to George and Fred to Angel, our last season this next year. So I can't remember what happened, so he's not back, if he never reveals himself, he must not be back, so thank you." I said and the ones believing me all nodded gently, and Dumbledore paled, realizing I was not taking back my retraction if he kept this up now.

"Yeah, you to me, we're the best of friends and brother and sister, my partner in crime, my brother." she said and I looked down and Minerva chuckled as Katie pressed her forehead to mine. "No need to treat me like I'm a 9 year old, big sister maybe, but don't baby me." I said and she smiled. "Can you blame me, after the things you get yourself into, Harry?" she said and the quartet chuckled. "Point taken here." they and Oliver said and our parents started laughing.

"And Mione and Colin are us in the next generation here, he's going to say the same thing, I maybe a year younger, but don't baby me." I said and she chuckled. "Can you blame us, though 11 or 12, we don't see you at your current age, but still 7 years old. As soon we got to leave and we're separated till we come home, back to our partner in crime." she said and I hugged her tightly and her parents smiled at the bond between us, she was my best friend on the team.

"Issues in being a team Harry's the youngest of us right now, we want our last year together before the twins, Angel and I leave next. And a certain someone ruined the entire year for us, said someone is dangerous and deluded. Claiming the bloody bastard is still alive, Harry's destroyed 6 of those things right now, we're on the home stretch here right now. But the guys, Angel and I have NEWTS, Harry his OWLS, Katie's in her 6th year." Alicia said sadly to this now.

"Yeah now I'm furious, Harry claimed werewolf and threw in a retraction, there is no taking the words back, he's on the home stretch here with those anchors now. To me, with the family thinking like I do, I say Ron needs to free himself from said delusion. Before he gets tarred with the same brush that the headmaster is, so what now, once dad says 'we think'. He's going to freak out after Harry switched schools the year before." Percy said and the quintet nodded then.

"Like I said, traitor is big word coming from you and what do you call you did the year before exactly Ronald, why does everything keep coming back to Dumbledore. Yes I made a mistake in not seeing he been hexed, but I'm willing to live up to my mistakes, Harry now. He claimed werewolf, and printed a retraction, I accept that retraction right now. But you want to follow Dumbledore to the grave fine, I know who to put my faith in, and it's Harry and the ministry."

"But you do this, you're a traitor to us, your entire family now, he's engaged to Ginny, he's perfect for her right now. But first you're ticked off he's not bothering to hang out with you, because he wants to be with her, with the dementors here. Then after his name comes out of that goblet, you claim him a traitor and are estranged for a month. And now, despite knowing the crucio side effects, you believe that tripe." he said and Arthur crossed his arms sternly.

"Harry has destroyed 5 of the 7 anchors, all that's left is the snake, ring and Riddle himself and we're done, this war ends before it begins. But with the headmaster's sanity slippage now, Amelia and Rufus assigned Kingsley Shacklebolt and Dora Tonks to Ministry positions now." he added and Fudge nodded as we ended it. "I know I screwed up here, but I can make amends, so ideas, how do we do years 4 and 5 now?" Percy asked and I smiled as I answered him gently.

"You work for the ministry, as does your father and you both sided with me, as did the twins, Charlie, Bill, Ginny and your mother. You knew I printed up a retraction, and you knew I went by the ministry and took it back. And as I started school at the academy, I was working for you as cadet auror now, the anchors were destroyed, he maybe alive. But all of them are destroyed, I'm waiting till he attempts to break in after hours, to drop the act, and you get your proof."

"They never stopped and you arrest all the ones claiming the imperio." I said and he smiled sternly and the twins, Charlie and Arthur all smiled at my idea. "And we all have one person to blame for that, as we all think like Seamus here right now." Angelina said, crossing her arms and Dumbledore paled, realizing this was why he had ministry interference that year. "Harry and we are back in the dorms, but we're all sharing the same thought, what if we never came back."

"Who do we have to blame for this, Harry is recovering from the torture curses, the Saint Mungo healers erased the trauma from his mind. Just wait for the confrontation in the dorms or worse at dinner that night, with Kingsley taking Umbridge's spot." Katie said and the twins, Angelina and Alicia nodded in agreement. "And we all know Dumbledore wants him back under his control, to him there is no other option, with us now all young cadets here right now again."

"We all had enough of this, but Dumbledore says this, Dumbledore says that, sorry love, boys, so long as he's headmaster, you're endanger. We don't think it's a good idea for you to be there right now." Arthur said in response. "But mum, dad, we want to stay our team, we want to see Harry!" The twins and the girls shouted together. "Alright, but if there's any trouble, I want you out of there and come home boys, young lady." Arthur and their parents said together at that.

"Yes mum, dad." the quintet said together sighing then and I nodded gently. "Dad please, like the team, I want our last 2 years together, as after it ends, it's just Ginny and Ron. But with Ron being a hotshot, Ginny and I need to be together, the imprint." I said and he nodded gently as dad said it for both of them. "Alright, but like the quintet, any trouble, you're both coming home, it's not safe with him, them, on the edge of desperation." he said and we both nodded.

"Yes dad." We said together and I sighed, before pretending it was a month later. "Guys!" I shouted and they moved to me. "Everything okay, what's wrong?" I asked and they sighed. "Our mums and dads didn't want us coming back this year." Katie said sadly and I nodded. "It's Dumbledore?" I asked and they nodded. "Dumbledore." Fred said and I nodded. "I get it, don't want to let you go yet." I said as the girls all hugged me and I tightened my arms around them.

"Dad thought the same thing right now, he didn't think it would be smart to return with his sanity close to snapping in his desperation to control me. But all that's left is the snake and killing him and we're done, but the one in me is gone, I'm free. And of that portion of the prophecy, dad is afraid he's going to try and hex me, to do things his way." I said and they nodded as Dumbledore paled, realizing we all thought this about him, as they exchanged looks.

"Hey Lee, you better say it for us now, in case Patterson asks right now, Dumbledore nearly wrecked the year for us. Because our parents didn't want us coming back this year, Uncle Pad with them." George said and Lee nodded, knowing this reaction at dinner was asking for a brawl to break out now, as we pretended that. And as Katie and I were reading the newspaper at the table that night, as she and I underlined several things and passed it to the quartet then.

"Remember that exchange, after we saw Barty drinking from his hipflask?" Dean asked and I nodded. "What do you think he's drinking, do you suppose?" George asked and I said it sternly. "It's not pumpkin juice, that's for darn sure, but this is a school, no drinking, so best guess, it's a potion, though what I don't know, probably polyjuice. Professor is that really you or did Barty clone himself?" I asked and he smiled gently. "It's okay son, it's me." he said and I nodded then.

"What's the last thing you would tell me, after realizing I saw the bloody dragon, and going about it differently." I said carefully and he smiled. "That you should play to your strengths." he said and I nodded. "Who was it who came to get me, as dad was moving me from Aunt Petunia's to his place?" I asked and he chuckled gently. "That's me, Remus, Kingsley, Dora, Emmaline and Dedalus." he said and I smiled in relief. "Yeah that's you alright." I said and the sextet smiled.

"Nice thinking son, you never know if I was being impersonated by a death eater, or just a member of the real Order, and go to security questions. And the fact I know the right answer, that tells you I'm the real Alastor Moody." he said smiling and Minerva smiled proudly. "After what happened last year as 1 escaped Death Eater, another on probation, Barty breaks out. And escapes finally after the riot, and then comes his teaching here..." I said and he nodded gently.

"Did the MLE commandeer the school this year, if all of you took the job, Sir?" Fred asked and he nodded. "Yeah extended in the dueling, but it's theory this year in Defense son, you need a break from this in the constant life and death stuff, so year 3 again." he said and we smiled in relief. "Any sightings yet, or with the 12, I supposedly named in them starting up?" I asked and he smiled. "Not a one, they're keeping a low profile for a while." Scrimgeour said and I smiled.

"Da, da, da, da da." I hummed and heard it come from 30 other members of both tables. "Yeah right sure." they all said together speaking the lyrics and I started laughing, as Katie wrapped her arm around my shoulders and Minerva smiled at that. "We're not doing this all night, I know you love that song in the case of false alarms, but how many times can we hear it. Before we all had enough of it in the adult witches and wizards cubs, hmm." Severus said for both of them.

"Can't help it after a summer of scandals here, Professor." Angelina said and he nodded. "I get that, but the youngest muggleborns, we're not scaring out of their wits here now. As they don't understand why there is a case of why that song is even being used here right now. Or why the ministry decided to commandeer the castle this year, so try to keep it dialed you six, okay." he said and the group and I nodded. "Yes Professor." we all said together as we got back to it.

"Hey Professor, how about Home Alone 3, so triple the movies, two at Christmas, and the third after the second semester starts?" I asked and they nodded. "Agreed, we can do that this year, but there's a few dozen movies on Christmas, and you're old enough. Now for that Chevy Chase one." Minerva said and we nodded. "Donald's triplets, getting stuck in Christmas Ground-hog's day?" Katie said and I started laughing. "Yeah they'll enjoy that." I said smiling at that gently.

Watching us, I saw the entire majority watching him with a wary look as he moved to us then uneasily, as I looked up from what I was reading and he saw the head line. 'Dumbledore: Master of divide and conquer' as he said it shaking then. "Hey guys, have a good summer." Patterson said and Lee sighed as Katie gripped my wrist and I relaxed, waiting for the fight to start. "Alright, better then the team anyway." he said and I slammed my fork on the table then.

"Tell them guys, Ginny is 14, she and I barely lost our year together because of this, I'm still recovering, I can't remember what happened that night. But knowing Cedric is still alive, but this is too much, I nearly lost my chance to see you guys." I said, putting my fork down and they both nodded sternly, as they tried to control their anger. "My mum didn't want us, Ron and Ginny to come back this year!" Fred said sternly and he swallowed hard at remark, shaking.

"It's the same for me, me mum didn't want me coming back this year right now." I heard firmly and looked over my shoulder at the Finnigans then. "Freeze!" I said and Seamus moved to me gently at that. "Hey mate, Sir, Mam, really, I'm calling werewolf on that claim, I destroyed 5/7's of said anchors, just the bloody snake and the ring left. But with his state of mind over me right now…." I said and she nodded. "Point made, he's mad." his father said sternly to that news.

"I take it you mean calling wolf, but us in this world, it's werewolf?" he said and I nodded as Seamus closed his eyes at that. "Means the same thing Richard, and I understand, best to prevent martial law, by pretending everything is fine. As we hunt down and destroy those anchors, but the headmaster with his sanity slippage is dangerous right now. But your name is now so highly praised, after the stone and the snake, you can protect us, by staying covert."

"But you this, you that, you, you, you, the Slytherins are so bloody sick of hearing about this, that in Percival's words, we know who to put our trust and beliefs in. After finding out Junior was teaching here all that year, the Headmaster's reputation took a massive hit." she said and he nodded. "But as I said, and to keep going, like the team, Ron and Ginny, me parents didn't want me coming back this year." Seamus said angrily and Patterson looked between them in shock.

"Why not?" Patterson said shaking and George crossed his arms. "Let me see now, because of Dumbledore, the Daily Prophet and the Quibbler have said alot of bad things about Dumbledore. But nothing, but praise for Harry, he, based on the report, printed a retraction, and took back said claim now, he's destroyed several more of what holds the dark lord to life. But in the eyes of my parents, until his anchors are destroyed, it's not safe, to them, he's going on conspiracy."

"Conspiracy and sedition, we all know why the headmaster is obsessed with Harry, it's because he thinks Harry is the one that can stop him. But Harry already destroyed 5/7's of the items that can keep him alive, if he is back right now, to them. He's dangerous, as dangerous as Riddle was right now, but Harry has been destroying those items left and right. So no, not back, he's never come into the open yet, so the Headmaster is delusional here, but you were quick here."

"To believe Harry was the heir of Slytherin, followed by his putting his name in the goblet right now, and he gets bit by the blasted spider. Gets hit by the crucio twice right now, and is nearly murdered himself after seeing Peter Pettigrew almost kill Cedric. But Harry claimed werewolf, and they let it go, but the Daily Prophet've said a lot of bad things about Dumbledore. Being a dangerous attention seeker and an ego maniac now." George said sternly to him then at that.

"And your parents believe them?!" Patterson shouted in shock and the trio nodded. "Well no one saw what happened the night I was barely killed by him, the healers at Mungo's. They blocked the trauma from Harry's head to give him time right now here, can't remember now." Cedric said and he started shaking in fury at that. "Then I guess you can just read the stupid paper like your idiot parents, it'll tell you everything you need to know." he snarled at that remark angrily.

"Don't you dare insult our parents, Patterson!" Fred snapped in fury and he growled at that. "I'll have a go at anyone that calls the headmaster a liar!" he snarled at him in response. "Both of you shut up, before you get us all detention on the first night back, shut up, alright. Just knock it off, calm down both of you!" I shouted and the ministry nodded as Kingsley swung his hand to Minerva and she nodded. "Thank you Harry, we can handle this." she said to me and I nodded.

"And to repeat that, I see a punch get thrown, you're ending up in detention and 50 points lost on the first night back, so think twice students. And then think again right now, starting now is a ministry approved form, call it as you see it. But the headmaster is under investigation, Harry, auror group meeting tonight, baby!" Dora shouted and the 20% all paled at that. "Got it Sis, Kingsley, I can meet up with you after dinner is over." I told him and he nodded gently to me.

"Alright everyone settle down now, attention!" Severus shouted out and we all went to attention at that. "Welcome everyone to another year at Hogwarts, we have two new members of our teaching staff this year, and a change in the third. Until Professor Hagrid returns, with year 3 of Care of Magical Creatures, Professor Grubbyplank had graciously accepted to return this year. For Defense Against the Dark Arts, I'm pleased to introduce Auror Kingsley Shacklebolt."

"And his partner who will be this years's Defense Against The Dark Arts." Dumbledore said and I smiled as I answered that. "Are you sure he's the real one this time, or she is, after employing Junior, but 1) because Quirrell carried his soul. 2) Lockhart was a charlatan, and 3) is we had animagus/death eater in the dorms for 7 years….?" I called out and he paled. "Yeah I agree with him, why does it always take him being the one to crack each scenario, but 4 years of this."

"Harry had to have had enough sooner or later, and we get the sooner, after it turns out, Junior confunded the goblet last year!" Seamus shouted and the pro ministry members nodded in agreement to that. "Nice catch boys, and point made, but we had a death eater and an ex double agent in this school. A hidden one and our auror professor was kidnapped, and replaced right now." Remus said with a bemused smile and Kingsley decided to get up on that remark.

"Evening everyone, as you knew me for several years as past security, this year, I'm acting a defense professor. Although each headmaster has brought something new to this historic school progress for the sake of progress must be discouraged. Let us preserve what must be preserved, perfect what can be perfected, and prune practices that ought to be prohibited. Starting tonight, all students that wish for added training after Lockhart messed up the dueling club for you now."

"We can teach you more defensive spells, but it's more theory, less practical in class later this year, because we have reason to believe, the headmaster is preparing a coup. And using you to do so, so class is more theory on training, dueling class is practical." he said and I nodded. "Wicked, we can learn more with our headmaster here this way." Fred said and I nodded. "What use is that, if we're attacked, it won't be risk-free." Patterson said to that news and we sighed.

"At least it's not me saying this, but I can't remember, and frankly why worry, so long as he knows I'm destroying those things, he's not coming out into the open. And the Death Eaters are all keeping a very low profile, though they're all having a field day. With his reputation being dragged through the mud right now." I said and everyone on both sides of us all nodded. "I get that son, but no need to get snarky, little mate." Kingsley said gently and I grinned at the title.

"Translation, in American english, little buddy." I said and they chuckled at that remark. "Issues in being our headmaster, our boss gets severely overly protective with us now." Fred said and I nodded. "What you expect right now, last year was crazy enough already here, with you creating the armaments for said so called war right now with your joke shop. But you gained enough you can do this without the NEWTS, and be self employed next." I said and the twins nodded gently.

"Dad wouldn't mind I'm funding you, he, Sirius and Remus, Padfoot, Mooney and Prongs, so you're an extension to PMP." I said and he smiled as he patted my shoulder. "But like you said why worry right now, he's never come out into the open, so why worry." he said and Kingsley nodded in agreement. "No magic in class, risk free injuries." he said and he said it again. "What use is that, if we're going to be attacked, won't be risk free." he said and I shook my head then.

"Here we go again, oh, Professor, Professor Snape." Alicia said and they exchanged looks. "Here it comes…." Severus said sternly, knowing there was about to be a shouting match breaking out then from this. And I nodded as Poppy passed me a potion to take the edge off of said headache and with it further blacking out the firefight then. "Despite destroying several, he's still trying to break down my mental door, though I got it locked and bolted." I said and Severus nodded then.

"Headache son?" he asked and I nodded. "Well that's a painkiller mixed with the memory modifier, I created it for you after the close call last semester." he told me and I nodded. "So basically keeping that door locked indefinitely, we're not feeding any wolves here. Though we fed Mooney already right now and by wolves, I mean feeding the wrong side of this situation. Feeding the fear till it starts something, but try to throw me to the werewolves and I call wolf."

"Which is the same in my world as screaming fire in a crowded building and causing a panic, but freedom of speech will not save you from doing that and starting a panic. Just continuing with this argument is feeding the paranoia of if he's back or not till someone. In truth, suffers a breakdown here, but schizo effective, bordering on paranoid schizophrenia here. That the headmaster's feeding it till he's snapped, Uncle Severus!" I said and he nodded at the news.

"Is that what happens in mental health, the more someone encourages this, the more he's never going to recover, till they hurt themselves or someone else?" Seamus asked and I nodded to him. "Yeah it is, this is why we try to tone it down, you know I'm still recovering, I can't remember, but I still have flashbacks, P.T.S.D., at my age, that's a dangerous thing. The adults all know this and are trying to tone it down." I said and he nodded as Katie rubbed my back.

"Good point, the more you talk about this, the more it's feeding the demons of fear and terror now: Mars, Phobos, Deimos: War, fear and terror. Dementors, they feed on our biggest fears as do boggarts, but why are you feeding the wolf right now. Trying to make it so we change policy after your beloved headmaster employed a death eater last year. One masquerading as our head professor of the academy, we promise, we're not tolerating that right now, my star pupil now."

"He's been traumatized by Junior and Pettigrew nearly killing Cedric in front of him, I'm not going to allow you to make his recovery worse, now this conversation is over. In the eyes of Madam Pomphrey and the healers at Saint Mungos, it's stop talking about it. As he's wracked up mentally and emotionally right now, he'll get over this if we give him time now. But they and Professor McGonagall think treating this like a regular non trouble year now in truth now."

"Like year 3 after Pettigrew escaped, and being normal: training, quidditch and the like, and keep things as calm and quiet as possible, until he is ready to come to terms with it." Kingsley said sternly to that and Patterson paled at that remark, realizing they'd rather keep my mind and on being a normal year, as though nothing changed with the quartet leaving later. "I take it, this enforces my mental door and keeps fusing the bolt shut?" I said and Severus nodded to me.

"At least no one gave him the bloody key yet, he's acting like Englund's character on the movie right now, out of desperation." Fred said and Remus and Severus nodded. "We're not leaving the food hatch open here Fred, but this is not that movie and frankly keep it clean. Before we get in trouble for crossing base two, keep it clean, we're in school." Angelina said to that. "Guys we really need to get into this now, we got cubs 11 years old listening!" George said sternly to that.

And I covered my eyes. "Just who started this conversation exactly?" I said bemused and Katie nodded as everyone surrounding us were shaking in laughter at that. "I'm not entirely sure, but with borderline 5th graders at the table, it's keep the conversation clean before we all get it. And for the vulgarity for this conversation, your and Ginny's classes are the youngest of us. In who started school, before Nigel and Dennis started school here." Alicia said and I nodded gently.

As Seamus smacked him in the head. "Little pitchers here, can it already, but this is neither the time nor place for this." I said and Tonks nodded as she was shaking in laughter at that. "Indeed this is neither the time nor place for that conversation, so subject change please." Poppy said and I lowered my head as everyone was shaking in laughter at that response. "Cub got caught, me quiet." I said in response then and Minerva nodded with a chuckle as Severus said it for her.

"Alright young man, pull yourself together, I know that's embarrassing, but you're 15, we can go into that later, but again, with cubs younger then your girlfriend and her counterparts here. The subject is closed, now boys, young lady, we can do R rated movies another time. But this is neither the time nor place for that conversation, and straight talk only, children." he said bemused and we all nodded as Katie was shaking in laughter at that as they exchanged looks.

"Alright kids, that's enough of that already." Addams said as Severus finished that with a bemused smile, as we tried to pull ourselves together. "He started it" "Didn't" "Did' "Didn't" "Didn't" "Did" Fred said and then looked down and Seamus started laughing at that as we heard an explosion and Norris jumped off the floor and then curled her tail around her paws. "Meow mew." she said in response bemused and we nodded as we all tried to keep from laughing.

"I did and Sorry girl." Seamus said and she gave a bemused meow as I started laughing. "I think that means, 'Alright who of you kittens did that after the last few times. You destroyed big bird, or just red chicken with spice all over it?'." Katie said laughing at that. "Didn't we already talk about this, control your emotions or you're going to destroy something. Who of you did that exactly boys, as we know you're both irritated?" Remus said and Seamus hold his hand up then.

"Sorry girl." I said and she meowed at me. "Mew mew meow." she said to me in response and I nodded as she jumped on the bench. "I think that means 'it's fine kitten, but again, I don't care who started that argument over who started that conversation. I'm ending it, now that's enough of that already kittens, all of you settle down right now. But I hear that again, you're in color kennel every night till white rain comes down.'." Cunningham said and we started laughing then.

"Agreed, I don't care who started it, I'm ending it, now that's enough of that already cubs, settle down here." Minerva said and we all started laughing. "Boys, Miss Johnson, was that really necessary here, we can talk more on mental door enhancements. At a later time, now let's get on with this now, shall we!" Severus said and we nodded as the girls and Cedric and I lowered our heads as we were all shaking in laughter and Kingsley nodded with a bemused smile then.

"Now that's more like it, keep the conversation light at the moment, but again all of you take a break, but whoever starts another and then I get smacked you're getting it cubs. Relax kids alright and you, young man, that's enough of this already right now. We're not scaring our youngest cubs out of their wits on their first night here. So just keep it up and it's the cage for you." Remus said and he paled. "Liar liar, pants on fire!" Ernie shouted and we started laughing.

"Tension relief anyone, before this starts something right now!" Seamus called out and everyone started laughing. "Yes young man, we get the point, but that's enough of the pranks, practical jokes and jokes period, settle down please." he said and we nodded and Kingsley nodded gently, as I saw a look of love in his eyes towards me then. "Debate and argument with the faculty over his being back and Cedric in 3, 2, 1….., now." Remus said then, counting down at that remark.

As I said it. "Professor, it's like every time we do practical this always leads me into a life or death situation, after the amount of practical, in my world. And in the physical education class, there was a period of class work right now, so this year. I think we should be studying up on what these curses do to your body, and take a year off practical in the 5th to 7th years. This way we got more time to study, it's Our OWL and NEWT years for us." I said, holding my hand up.

"That's a worthwhile opinion, and I agree with you, in the class is theoretical, but the dueling club is practical. Just be on guard, he may not be back, but we're still hunting down Wormtail right now, after Junior got the kiss." he said and I nodded gently. "Good point and that's why we should, but I should tell you and Rufus, Amelia, that after I cost Malfoy his elf. He nearly used the avada on me and Dobby blasted him across the hall." I said and they and Remus nodded.

"Thank you for the warning, we will send that intel straight to Barty and Amelia, after dinner is over, now to get back to this. It's this year we are doing theoretical in understanding the damage these dark art spells do to you. I'm going to keep the lesson plan that Remus did in year 3, but any who buy into that load of lies. Said are being under strict observation, you been exposed to his ways so long, you're a danger to yourselves." he said and Patterson went white.

"Students, they will raise their hands when they speak in my class, though this is not the class room, same difference right now. It is the view of the Ministry, that a theoretical knowledge
will be sufficient, to get you through your examinations. Which, after all, is what school is all about." he said and I nodded. "Yeah I agree with that, I'm keeping my head down, I need a year off, before he tries to raid the ministry." I said to the team and they nodded gently to me then.

"We don't blame you for that after the level of rubbish you had to go through since you were still a cub, with you growing your mane in now, baby brother." Angelina said and Minerva nodded in stern agreement. "You listening to this, Professor?" she asked and Minerva, Severus and Remus all nodded to us and we nodded to that remark. "And how's theory supposed to prepare us for what's out there?" Patterson said to Kingsley and I knew where this was headed right now.

"There is nothing out there, son, who do you imagine wants to attack children like yourself?" he asked and I nodded. "With his knowing I'm destroying them left and right, he's keeping a low profile and told the Death Eaters to do so as well. But frankly I can't remember the fight, after nearly being killed by Junior and Cedric nearly shot down by Peter." I told everyone their and Katie's age and class, let alone Seamus and a few of mine and they all nodded to me gently.
