New Life Needed
Chapter 5
Last time on N.L.N
"HARRY JAMES POTTER!" she yelled. Harry groaned and hid under the table. Gabrielle kicked the table from over him, cutlery and glass flying everywhere, not to mention the Swiss roll landing on Dumbledore's head.
" Um, hi?" he laughed weakly. The five females stared at him angrily. Yup, he knew he shouldn't have put that nest of fake rats and spiders in their respective rooms.

5 hours and A LOT of makeup and hair products later Harry was in his quarters drinking tea with the females and dressed in a Granny dress and small ponytails sticking out of his head (cursed and gelled in place for a week, courtesy of the elder veela.).
Him and the girls chatted about random things, like the fact they had a picture of Dumbles with Swiss roll on his head. The girls had decided that Harry had been punished enough. Madame Maxime, after giving Harry a kiss on both cheeks had left once more for Beuxbatons. Harry was also greeted with news. The remaining four girls had gathered their parents' permission to stay at Hogwarts, and four of Harry's guy friends were coming the following week! To say Harry was ecstatic would be an understatement.

The following day was the day of the girls sorting. After a brief introduction from Dumbledore it started.
"Ambrose, Danielle." Daniellia rolled her brown eyes at the mispronunciation.
"Je m'appelle Danie-lia!" She purposely said in French as she sat down gracefully on the stall. Mc Gonnagal, seething at being corrected, put the hat upon her brown head.
"Hmmmmm, I do believe there is no question as to where you will go, my dear. SLYTHERIN!" yelled the sorting hat as Danie gave her trademark smirk and sat in the middle of the table. Harry could see the snakes trying to test her, Harry knew by the fact she one time managed to get him shirtless for 2 months in winter (don't ask) that Danie could more then easily handle herself.
"Berichio, Rosa." The Italian beauty with black hair and blue eyes, whom everyone called Rose, sat on the chair, her nervousness showing.
"Ah, I see Harry acts like a brother to you often, he is loyal to you as you are to him. Easy as pie. HUFFLEPUFF!" The hufflepuffs welcomed Rosa with open arms. Now only the Delacour girls remained.
"Delacour, Fleur" Fleur decided to turn on her allure at that moment for the sake of showing off. The hat hadn't even touched her blond head when it yelled "GRYFFINDOR!" Gabrielle bit her lip as her own name was called.
"Ah, Gabrielle, slightly more difficult, but still easy enough, your thirst for knowledge compels you to go to…RAVENCLAW!"
Harry looked on amused as all his girls were sorted. He knew where they would be of course, just as he knew where the guys would be. This was his team of fighters. The Order of Hope.

As it was Saturday, there were no classes and the girls brought along a friend from each house to meet Harry.
With Danie was Draco Malfoy; a person who Harry could see did not want to join forces with the Dark Lord. That much was obvious.
With Rose it was Susan Bones, Harry could see her as a potential sorceress, possibly, like the girls and himself, more powerful then Dumbledore.
With Fleur was Ginny Weasley, an ally to decipher the Light's motives, Harry could see she possessed the metamorphagus ability women on Arthur's side were rumoured to have.
Lastly Gabrielle brought Luna Lovegood, a seer in her own right and one who Harry knew could already access her powers and who knew every prophecy ever made. He felt her searching gaze on him as she bowed her head. Harry knew these four would prove to be valuable assets and friends to his new Order.
Just as they got to know each other, Harry felt another presence. He focused in and read his brother's magical signature. He smirked and sent a mind-message to his companions. Rose, Danie, Fleur and Gabrielle weren't surprised by the deep voice in their head telling them to keep quiet, but Susan, Ginny, Draco and Luna were, Luna less so. She had a suspicion, but nothing concrete. They listened as Tommy and his lackeys, Ron and Lavender, walked on the opposite side of the shelf.
"My parents have found a way to keep our money though," Tommy was heard boasting "It is simple, we petition for that Deatheater scum to become a Potter again and the ministry will send him back and force the adoption potion on him. Then he will be our slave! That will be so cool!" His voice trailed away. Harry smirked, completely amused. All around the table were confused looks.
"If they think I will just go easily they have another think coming." He silently got up and whistled. A beautiful female phoenix swooped down. Harry scribbled a note on it quickly and sent it to Dumbles.
"Draco, would you mind accompanying me?" Draco nodded curiously and with that the two hunks of Hogwarts left the room.
