Chapter 36: The Board Meeting And Future Preparations I

"If not the harp, then whoever created a flute better learn to play music with it though, because Fluffy was fairly easy, the Devil's snare. It's you have to either relax or light a fire or use a lighting charm as it hates sunlight or bright light, say the light of a fire." Mione told her and she nodded as she and Dan exchanged annoyed looks at this news.

"I got the books so I know what the heck is going on up here, before you two come home and us leading into the dinner party with the Masons at the moment." Petunia said and I nodded in agreement to that. "Hearing the words from Severus instead of learning it second hand helps, I can forgive that, we just make one change to the faculty."

"Next term, and it's Binns, us first years want to learn more then about the Goblin wars, how about putting a member of the order into that position. So a member of the order with you sometimes on business, I can turn in the fact he knows how to get to the stone. And we got him." I said and they nodded to the suggestion as Minerva smiled gently.

"We, the muggle children and adults, we got a class call world history, it involves learning about three hundred years worth past events and wars, another called mythology that involves the legends on deities. Take the Chamber of Secrets for example that was a legend til we proved it true, astronomy was widely known as well, Care of Magical."

"That involves being a veterian for magical creatures, which is a doctor for animals, just in muggle version. Herbology is botany in the muggle world and so on, but give Mione and me a chance to write out comparisons and you, as the board of education. And the school can vote on what to put in next term." I said and they all nodded to my idea.

"I like that idea, how many muggleborns have we got coming in the next 5 years?" Aggie asked and Minerva checked and her eyes widened as she said it to her. "We got 150, several are half and the others purebloods, so we affix the schedule. To have it being like, to the muggle parents, a private school for preteens to teenagers at the moment."

"But to protect our muggleborns, we got one chance, so with that, we got one option and you are member of the order, Aggie. So with that to protect the cubs, we put in added security and of the kind that a true muggle or magical. But the parents can trust, us members of the order now." she said and the wizengamot nodded as Fudge said it to her.

"Put as many people in the order in the school as possible, so we can show that Lucius is not getting away with anything, him and the other death eaters?" Fudge asked and I nodded to him. "We can revolutionize the teaching standards and 2) push the school in the right direction, mixture of muggle and Wizard next term, as we show a few things."

"That, if dad was alive, he would have the wizarding teenagers be asking on their christmas lists. Here let me show you." I said as I said it. "Truths unknown, and truths perceived, reveal the muggle world to the wizard received." I said as the faculty saw images of things that we had in the muggle world and they nodded to me smiling.

"You guys, from 11 to 13, are middle school students and, from 14 to 17, high school students, so you think we should add a bit of the muggle world to Hogwarts. Stories, movies and physical education, like the dueling club, there is a fencing club in your world?" Arthur asked smiling and we nodded and they nodded to the idea then gently.

"If things had been different and Riddle would be vanquished by a muggle child, said my cousin as things were in reverse. But all I see Umbridge as is Marge herself, and once things change, my father would get her later. Just add a bit of the Muggle world to the wizarding world, or every muggleborn is going to see this as your world is stuck up."

"Treating our way of life as if we are inferior to you, magic or no magic, we're all human, your ways are 265 years and up to 300 years behind muggle living. We need to update the class focused on this and do several renovations on the school curriculum." I said and the ministry nodded in agreement as Dumbledore answered me at that remark.

"You own the castle Harry, we can recreate the schedule over the summer, add a few muggle ideas to the school and the muggleborns have 25 to 40%. And of their world in our world, to them: her and the death eaters everything is even worse. But to us, it's a matter bridging the gap, so they still be themselves." he said and Minerva nodded firmly.

"School board, ministry and staff meeting, and boys, Hermione why don't you come with us, you are representing your year. You five especially, so with that, you, Ginny and Luna have the next two years coming in, before Oliver, Percy and the others in their year graduate." she said and we nodded to the request and headed with her gently at that.

"Draco, you have to change the attitude, Harry just got us the money so we can be like you now, but unlike certain people now. Do you want to be a death eater, that is what your father is grooming you for right now." Ginny asked and he swallowed hard at that. "That's why he's is filling up my head with all this rhetoric at the moment right now."

"To turn me into a death eater?" he said in shock and we nodded to him. "Draco, look at this carefully, we're the quintet in the next generation, I'm my father. You are your godfather, Ron to Sirius, Remus to Mione and Pettigrew to Neville. But unlike Pettigrew, Neville would never turn on us like that, I saved your life, you owe me a life debt."

"But we been at each other's throats, since school started and your first bad impression on me, you been trying to get us in trouble ever since. So break the chain, of the past repeating itself and we start over with a fresh and clean slate. You don't realize that the path you are going down destroyed his life, he loved my mother, who do you love."

"Between the girls in our year, you got the chance that Severus never did, to marry the girl that you loved since you met her?" I asked and he looked down and then said it. "I've been in love with Daphne, since the Christmas Party Ball at the Longbottoms Estate." he said and I nodded as I answered him gently at that remark as I said it to him.

"What was your mother to my godfather?" he asked and I sighed. "His best friend, he loves her, but his getting involved with the death eaters destroyed their friendship. Later after he realized there were two people the prophecy could mean 11 years ago. He went to Dumbledore and to protect us at the time, but Pettigrew turned us in at the time."

"He arrived at my house too late, saw her lying in front of my crib and broke down right in front of me then." I told him and the order and Severus closed their eyes then. "It's back finally, baby?" Molly asked and I nodded. "I saw a man holding my mother, but I never added the years to him to realize it was Severus all this time, mum, as such."

"That's not the only thing I remember of that night, but I remember a green flash, a woman screaming and then a high and cruel laugh. Before seeing a wand being pointed at me, and the character was cloaked with the hood covering his face." I said and they all nodded in shocked disbelief I remembered that much as I said it finally to him then.

"Severus, I need to see everything, your side of the story, so I can understand your relationship with my mother now. As you and I both miss her as does Aunt Petunia and Uncle Dan, time for closure for us and for Remus and Sirius." I said and he nodded to me as Draco wiped the tears off his face at the revelation as I went further to him then.

"Why did you never tell us this after the second time you were playing with the mirror?!" Minerva said in shock and I took a deep breath. "The memories started coming back in nightmares after that, before I saw him standing over a unicorn. With blood dripping down his face." I said and Poppy covered her eyes at that as Sarah Abbott said it firmly.

"We better add a mental healer to the school, before these dreams get any worse, because if the dementors are affecting him, and this much. Then the fact his memories are back entirely could result in real collapse after the last attack, Albus." she said and Madam Pomphrey nodded in agreement to her thoughts as they and Severus nodded.

"Special case maybe, but he's got horrors in his past that his peers don't, we have got to block out the dreams, but if someone gets killed in the tournament. And he needs to tell us first, before we let it go for the night, after we arrest Barty and I mean that." Molly and Sirius said together and Dumbledore nodded sternly at the remark as I went on.

"Then just tell her father the truth and with him, ask Sirius to dissolve the betrothal between you and Pansy, she is who you're betrothed to, right?" I asked and he nodded. "Look at it carefully two paths, one leads to happiness, the other to a life sentence in Azkaban with Bellatrix in your mother's case." I said and his eyes widened in shock.

"Dad's sister-in-law married a muggleborn, and she is widely respected in our world, her daughter, my cousin. She's in the order and preparing to get into auror training, but the other ended up in jail?" he asked and we nodded. "Yeah exactly, we become a quintet, and you can become a legend, you defied the dark arts and chose your own path."

"We're the good guys, but do you want to be responsible for a death, or worse kill the man we all respect. But we met now, before you did a bad first impression on me and insulted us on the train. Join us and we can protect you, you and your mother as you and Luna, Neville and Cedric, the five of us are are five of the families of ancient families."

"Susan and Daphne are the last the seven of us, we can revolutionalize the teaching regime and change things for the better. And before he makes his reappearance right now in four years finally?" I asked and he shook his head as he got it. "I'd rather be free of the path he is starting me on then." he said and I held out my hand and he took it.

"Second chance I got two versions of a quartet, not gold or silver, but Bronze now, the Bronze quartet." I said and he looked at Mione and nodded as he smiled, as Mione hugged him and he closed his eyes as she pressed her forehead to his. "Mixture of me and Lilly, if he likes her just as much Harry does, then it's no wonder we got repeaters."

"You and James were fighting over her for five years till the fight betwen us destroyed your bonds. Was that it what it was, you wished you could take back the words and then spent 18 months trying to protect her from Riddle and James after he was born?" Remus asked and Severus nodded to him as Sirius crossed his arms as he looked at the duo.

"Well that's us if we gave each other a chance and things are in reverse boys." Sirius said and Remus and Severus nodded. "Except one of our number is dead, and we got a chance to fix the damage at the moment, I tried to take it back. But Peter tore my heart out that night, guys." Severus said and Remus nodded sadly at the revelation then.

"Frank, Alice, Lilly and James are gone, all we got left of them is Harry and Neville now, but we all had our lives torn down by Peter. We got a chance to fix the damage and by preventing our lives from repeating themselves with us in the school together. And for three years, but us as cubs, one chance." Remus said and Severus nodded to him.

"Our cubs selves are turning 11, we got a single chance to fix this, but my cub self blew his first good impression and they hated each other ever since. It's James and me all over again with you, Frank and Lilly getting caught in the middle here. Do we need any more indicators we got the same situation about to start all over again at the moment."

"Because like me, Draco owes Harry a life debt at the moment, before he did something stupid and who was the idiot that little joke really came from?" he asked and Sirius ran his hand through his hair. "Peter, it was Peter, honestly I never thought you would take me at my word, until you did that night." he told him and Severus nodded to him.

"Boys, I get you're hashing things out to bury the hatchet, but you better do that later with us about to start the meeting here at the moment." Dumbledore said as he walked in, in time to hear his confession then and their conversation at that. "We got two posts we need to fill in as Quirrell is next in Defense." Flitwick said and he nodded to him.

"Just what and how does he expect to get passed us when I know that stutter was faked, it's like the way we class Hagrid's taste in magical creatures. The dangerous looking ones are the innocent ones and the dangerous ones are given cute names. It's like a tiger changing it's appearance to look innocent, till someone gets too close and it kills them."

"Speaking of which, that's a good way to put storylines now here, add books for teenagers and preteens and here's two of them." Severus said as he passed a piece of paper to him and he read the titles and nodded in agreement. "God just wait till next term once we add a secondary library to the school for science fiction and fantasy."

"The waiting list is going out the door as it takes three days to a month for the book to be open as it goes from person to person here right now." Sprout said with a chuckle and he and Minerva both nodded with a smile. "Ow, hey watch it already." I heard and they turned to us. "Alright boys take it outside later." Flitwick said to the trio and they nodded.

"Yes, and Sly', do you want to retire now or later as Hagrid is taking your place in year three?" Severus asked and Professor Kettleburn said it gently to him. "I retire next semester, and Patty takes my place, before Hagrid takes over in year three." he said and Minerva crossed off Care of Magical Creatures in the classes as she went to the next.

"Andromeda, would you be willing to work as the history of magic teacher next year or we put in someone who knows their history. Giving the cubs a thorough education for his year and Ginny's year?" she asked and they smiled. "I can take the job for two years, before I switch and Andy takes my place, Minerva." Remus said and she nodded, smiling.

"Two of my father figures here at the school, tightening security, we need to scan luggage starting next term." I suggested and he smiled at the idea. "Yes and the death eaters are going to realize we're not taking chances with your safety, you or your peers. For these next four years, not when you're undesirable #1 in their eyes right now."

"I'd hate to be them now once they realize their attempts keep getting foiled, and by a cub version to the greatest sorceror in the world." Crouch said and I looked down as Dumbledore chuckled. "I said that to him directly, the Professor is the greatest sorceror in the world, he comes in second and I beat him, as it not by powers, but by heart."

"Protect the country by stalling his return every time, so the first obstacle is by the boobytrapped vault. You have several order members here at the school, monitoring things, every year until they do bring him back. As Remus has a job all laid out for him, as he's also on the train in year 3, like before." I said and the faculty nodded, smiling.

"Done, we do that then, Remus, your escape route is ready and waiting, but you do need to clean up the shack later. Or we do it the way we had it in year three so far, before Severus got Harry to remember what you were finally." Poppy said and Dumbledore nodded in agreement as I answered that with a bemused smile at this conversation.

"One good thing, I got you around leading into the tournament as we add Kingsley, Dora and Sirius as inner ministry security, the auror department. As Barty realizes that the castle is crawling with order members and ministry workers here." I said and he started laughing as Minerva nodded with a smile to that remark as she answered me.

"Yes and we add the fact that we got a potion that controls the spirit wolf, as they can live normal lives and get jobs finally. Remus is around all your school life, during the year and the summer finally, Harry. As though I'm your head of house, you get to see me every summer as well now, though Barty now, he's Billy's age and what you saw."

"In that image was the very tip of the iceberg here, he tried to escape and Alastor shot him, before the aurors arrested him at the time. As that was the part you saw when they dragged him, Bellatrix and her husband in." she told me and I nodded. "I see why Crouch threw him in jail then, he's a lunatic." I said and Mad-eye nodded sternly at the remark.

"First James and now Frank, I reached my limit with the death eaters targeting my star students Harry, as such. They target you and Neville and I will kill them if they ever lay a hand on either of you again like that." he said and I nodded. "Us this young, we're not surprised, we're barely entering our education and you all get very terroritorial with us."

"As we're just learning to defend ourselves and we are the junior version to you as your order now." Ron said and they all nodded firmly to that remark. "Our students, we got three to four death eaters in this building that school year now. And the school is crawling with aurors and government officials during the tournament, son, as such now."

"My first lesson for you is is the trio, and why I need you to understand in why using them is against the law. Though Barty raids my lesson plan and he's going scare you kids into actually doing it in front of you, you got the map. So use that and you know he attacked me as he used my trunk to hide me." he said and the five of us nodded to him.

"That seven compartment trunk you have Sir?" I asked and he nodded to me. "Any person that knows me knows my paranoia about getting drugged or poisoned. So I drink from a hip flask, and kept a set of keys on me to bring my own food to the school. Safety precautions, until he realizes he ran out of polyjuice and he's toast now as a result."

"But Albus knows me better then anyone as just as he has you, the trio arrest him as the potion wears off and it's game over. Severus later told me that you managed to sneak into Slytherin to interrogate Draco, but Mione mixed up the final ingredient. But you guys got it correctly, son, but someone stealing from his cupboard after you did it once."

"That means the man impersonating me is rigging the tournament in our eyes, but you chose this, instead of offering you as bait. You decided to throw yourself up as bait till we arrest him and he either goes back to jail or gets kissed now. That was very courageous in my eyes at the moment, as a skilled auror in training." he said and I nodded to him.

"If we were discussing this, before we saw you here at the school, my first opinion would be whatever was in that flask. Is not pumpkin juice, but something else with you being an adult, my vote was either firewhiskey or some sort of potion." I said and the auror department nodded gently, smiling, at my analysis of the situation at that remark.

"And that is exactly where your mind should be heading after you told us of your premonition about Junior, Peter and Tom. And Frank being there and over hearing the conversation, but I can definitely see you would top your father's scores. If you keep it up like that Harry." Scrimgeour said and Crouch and Mad-eye nodded in agreement.

"Never mind the anagram, just use his real name, first or the surname, because once the war starts he's puting a tracer on his alias." I said and they all nodded to me. "Nice touch in the analysis of the situation, before we get tracked down by saying his alias. So just say his real name to protect ourselves." Ted said to that and the order nodded to him.

"Like I said, facing these things, what I've been doing these last three years in that timeline, is not like school. You make mistake you can try again tomorrow, but out there, where you're facing death or seeing a friend or family member get killed in front of you. You don't understand what that feels like, not yet." I said and they all nodded to me.

"That's right they don't, and until they do, they can never understand, but we do, as we saw your life destroyed in one instant. And we just got you back finally, you're not going through that for a second time right now." Minerva said firmly and the faculty nodded in agreement to that as Arthur rested his hand on my shoulder protectively in agreement.

"Better just make the declaration in second year before everyone that finds us in the hall the cat was in, makes that assumption. You are the heir by conquest, Riddle by blood and you're hunting down the blasted diary, before he comes back for a second time." Ron told me and I nodded to him as Mione was holding my hand tightly at the memory then.

"Lucky thing the 30 of us have our memories, and before this results in a real repeater though Professor, as we change the next three years. As we know the innocent looking ones are the dangerous ones and the dangerous ones are the good guys at the moment. Sirius and Severus look dangerous and are the good guys, Quirrell and Pettigrew."

"They act innocent and are dangerous, so next year everyone points the finger at Severus until the truth comes out it was Quirrell. We have that happen again in year two Harry is considered the bad guy until we get the truth that Tom is Voldemort himself. And finally everyone thinks it's Sirius and it turns out to be Peter, watch it with guesswork."

"Will you please at the moment, detective work is aiming at certain movies, and to save time read the darn books starting now, will you." Fred said from behind me and Minerva and Dumbledore both nodded in agreement to his opinion. "I think you been listening to me way too much, Frederick." Mad-eye said and he nodded with a smile at the remark.

"The thirty of us are 12 to 65 trapped in our 9 to 63 year old bodies as a result, we got the memories of the entire 2.5 years since he came home." Amos said and Xeno nodded to his thoughts as Molly closed her eyes at this. "And before you boys try anymore stupid stunts get it under control and before you scare us out of our minds next right now."

"God we don't need this getting anymore out of hand than it is already." Dan said to that and she nodded in agreement to that. "Too late, and Filius, our troublesome students in your house just blew up the table in the great hall." Professor Vector called out as she came in and he nodded as he swapped places with her to go let his house have it for it.
