I do not own anything except the girl with blue eyes and black hair that will make her appearance with a name very soon.
A/N: Sorry!!! I was reading this chapter and realized I left out quite a few things, so it took me a little while to change this around. Thanks to those that reviewed and added this to their story alerts. I hope I replied to you...I can't remember now. :) Anyway, nothing really...Enjoy! :) Oh, right, I wrote the song the hat sings...its not really good compared to others that I've read, it's just sorta there. :)
Five: You Can Come Now
Remus had demanded proof of the night Harry disappeared, not believing Dumbledore could do that. Once he came out of the pensieve of Lily's memory, his eyes were flashing amber as Moony wanted revenge.
Remus had decided to stay with Lily and the kids, bringing his laptop and clothes over to Merlin Castle. Sirius, of course, stayed with them as all the castles and manors they were going to check out were untraceable to anyone that wasn't allowed entrance by Harry, Hermione or Lily.
Over the years, Harry and Hermione had taken to looking through every book in the library's, wanting to learn as much as possible about the Wizarding World. They wanted to know if any of the tales they had overheard were true.
Harry was also trying to grow his hair to cover the scar, but wore a hat most days as he felt uncomfortable with the silver scar showing. Hermione decided she didn't want Harry to feel alone and took to wearing a very similar hat as well out in public.
They had ended up staying at Merlin Castle for a year and a half, before moving on to discover Slytherin Castle. They stayed there for a year, before deciding to head to Hufflepuff Manor.
In the beginning of August, two months after moving, Harry and Hermione were laying on the grass next to the pool at Hufflepuff Manor. The sun was high in the sky as two owls flew through the wards, and landed next to them. They both opened an eye, raising an eyebrow as they sat up. They took the letters and watched as the owls flew away, before turning the letters over which caused their eyes to grow wide.
"That's the Hogwarts symbol." They muttered tearing open the envelope.
"Dear Mr. Stone. We are pleased to inform you that you've been accepted into Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry." Harry read grinning over at Hermione when she read the same. They jumped up and ran into the house, calling for the three adults in the house.
They found them in the library, all reading. They looked up when the two kids came running in, waving a letter in their hands.
"We got our Hogwarts letters." They said, coming to a stop beside the adults.
Lily smiled and held out her hand. Hermione gave her the letter as Harry gave his to Remus. "Well, looks like we'll be going to Diagon Alley soon."
Sirius pouted. "I wish I could come."
"Siri; there's a thing called a glamour." Remus said.
"And there are people who can see through glamours." Sirius retorted.
Lily chuckled, rolling her eyes. "I'll cast one on you. I'll just bring out more of my magic to make it impenetrable. So don't worry."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Ginny was sitting outside with her family, for once, even if she was sitting further away. She was under a tree with a book open in her lap, while her brothers and Jared were flying and the adults and Bill were talking. Charlie had left for Romania already, while Bill was working at Gringotts.
Three owls appeared, one flying to Ron, the other to Jared and the last one to her. Her parents glared at her as she shakily took the letter, watching the owl fly off.
Molly was suddenly in front of her, a scowl on her face and her hand out. Ginny raised her hand and gave the letter to her mother. Molly turned the letter over, her scowl deepening, as she tore the Hogwarts seal. When she finished reading she stalked over to Arthur and handed him the letter.
"Ginny's only ten!" Arthur snapped and glared over at his daughter that was hanging her head.
"It'll get her out of your hair." James said. "Why not just let her go? She'll only need a wand and the school robes. She can use the stuff at school for anything else."
Arthur nodded. "Good idea."
Ginny smiled as she kept her head bent; it came sooner then she expected.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Lily, Remus, Harry, Hermione and a disguised Sirius walked along Diagon Alley, a pouch of galleons in the two kid's hands.
"Where to first?" Remus asked.
"Let's go get our robes; we're right here." Hermione said, pointing to Madam Malkin's Robes for All Occasions.
The others nodded as they walked through the door. Harry stopped right inside and stared at a blonde boy that was getting his robes adjusted.
"Harry?" Sirius asked, shaking his shoulder.
Harry turned wide eyes to Sirius and crooked his finger to get him to lean down. "I found my mate." He whispered.
Lily and Remus both turned surprised, wide eyes to him as Sirius' eyes grew as well.
"Soul mates." Remus whispered in awe.
Lily's mouth gaped open. "I thought that was just a legend."
Sirius nodded as the three of them watched Harry and Hermione talk with the blonde.
The three continued to gape as Lucius Malfoy walked up to them. Lily broke out of the spell first and smiled at him. "Hello Lucius."
Lucius smirked. "Hello Lily." He turned to Sirius and ran his eyes along his body. "Not bad; still needs more power."
Lily rolled her eyes even as the smile still graced her features; turns out he remembers too. "You are part veela; of course it won't work for you."
Lucius just continued to smirk. "Now, how about you tell me why your son was staring at my son?"
Lily looked over and smiled as she saw the three of them talking. "Soul mates."
Lucius raised an eyebrow his eyes growing wide. "Really?"
Lily nodded.
"Tom's son?" He whispered and watched as the smile on Lily's face tripled in brightness, her whole face lighting up. "Well, we should get moving. I'm sure we'll see each other soon."
Lily nodded as did the two men on either side of her.
Lucius turned to Sirius and walked up to him.
Sirius smirked, raising an eyebrow. "You never used to like public displays of affection."
Lucius threaded his fingers through Sirius' hair. "I haven't seen you in eleven years. Shut up." He stated and proceeded to lock his lips with the taller man's. Sirius' hands grasped Lucius' hips, pulling him flush against his body.
Lily and Remus smiled brightly, before walking over to the three kids. Sirius joined them as the bell to the store rang. The entire Weasley clan walked in along with the two Potter's.
Lily scowled as did Harry when their gaze landed on their old family. It deepened when they watched Arthur push Ginny up towards them, her head bent.
"Lily!" James greeted a smile on his face and acting as if the divorce never happened.
Lily glared at him. "Potter." She returned.
Harry and Hermione snickered at the dumbstruck looks on the Weasley's faces. This brought the attention on them.
"Who's this?" Jared asked a sneer on his face.
"I'm Harry; this is my sister Hermione." Harry answered looking down at Ginny. He stepped down when Madam Malkin placed the last pin in his robes and walked up to Ginny. "What's your name?" He asked, even though he knew.
Ginny looked up at him, fear clear in her eyes, though he was the only one to notice it. "Ginny." She whispered.
Harry smirked, his eyes shining with laughter. "Well, Ginny, are you coming to Hogwarts this year?"
Ginny smiled and nodded.
"Good; then we need to find you robes. Every new student needs new robes." He knew that the Weasley's couldn't afford it.
"She already has robes." Molly huffed.
Harry looked up at her. "Really? Her brothers look much bigger than her; so are you. I don't think those old robes will look very flattering on her."
Hermione nodded as she came up beside him. "A girl has to look her best. First impressions are everything." She said as she studied Ginny's face. She gasped and her eyes went wide before narrowing on the adults. "Which one of you hit her?" She asked her eyes a swirling mixture of rose and brown.
Molly's eyes narrowed while Arthur's widened just slightly.
Harry growled causing Lily to step up and pull him back.
"Harry, Hermione. It's time to go." She smiled down at Ginny before directing the two kids away with Sirius and Remus following.
The stepped inside Ollivander's wands twenty minutes later after having got their cauldrons and cooled down from their run in with the Weasley's and Potter's.
Ollivander walked out from the back; eyeing the newcomers. "Hm. I was wondering when I'd be seeing you. Hold out your wand arm." Harry and Hermione immediately did so, holding out their right hands. Two tape measurers sprang out from a drawer and began measuring their whole body while Ollivander tapped his chin in thought. He nodded and walked away over to a shelf, running his finger along the boxes until he pulled out two.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The rest of the summer quickly progressed and soon it was September first. Harry and Hermione had two trunks with them; one full of clothes, the other of books. The one holding the books was smaller than the other, but not by much, as they had both discovered the bookstore in Knockturn Alley.
"Merlin, you guys aren't even going to be pulling pranks." Sirius whined.
"Siri; there's more to life than pranks." Remus stated as he walked into the room.
Sirius stuck out his tongue as Lily joined them in the entrance hall. Lily sighed and waved her hand, the glamour placing itself over Sirius. Harry and Hermione pulled on a black hat each, Harry twisting it to cover his scar and Hermione twisting it the other way.
"Really, guys, what's with the hats?" Sirius asked.
"To hide the scar." Harry answered.
"Plus they look cool." Hermione grinned.
"Alright, are you two ready?" Lily asked.
The two nodded enthusiastically, clutching the handles of their trunks.
They apparated a moment later to an alley just outside the train station, before walking down between the trains. They reached the barrier between platforms nine and ten, a few minutes later. Sirius pushed Harry through first, ignoring Harry's shouts of protests, laughing until all of them were on platform 9 ¾.
Harry glared up at Sirius, his green eyes shining with sparks of aqua.
"Come on, cub, lighten up and go find a compartment." Sirius said.
Harry sighed but smiled and nodded. "Come on, Hermione. Let's see if we can find Ginny."
Hermione grinned and the two hugged each of the adults before running onto the train, their trunks trailing behind them.
"They'll be fine, right?" Lily asked as she watched the two disappear.
Remus nodded. "They'll be better then fine."
Lily smiled as the three of them turned and left, heading home.
Meanwhile, Harry grinned as he slid open a compartment door that held a ten year old Ginny. "Ginny!" He greeted.
Ginny looked up from the book and smiled as Harry and Hermione entered and placed their trunks above them. "Hi Harry, Hermione." She greeted.
Hermione smiled and sat down beside her. The three immediately started talking; topics ranging as the train whistle echoed across the platform.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Firs' years! Firs' years follow me!" A very tall man with a long, scraggly beard and long hair called to them as they exited the train. He held a lantern as he stood by the lake, boats lined up behind him.
Harry, Ginny and Hermione climbed in one, Draco joining them in the boat. Every first year stared in awe up at the castle as they crossed the lake. They walked up from the lake, through the entrance hall and stopped before an older witch.
She spoke about the houses, points, quidditch, and classes before disappearing for a moment. "We're ready for you now." She said as she reappeared.
The first years followed her into the great hall, staring in wonder at the ceiling and portraits that lined the walls.
"Ooh. They're here!" Helga cheered, clapping her hands as she watched the two heirs walk among the group.
"This is so exciting." Godric agreed.
"Welcome one and welcome all,
To Hogwarts, you see.
This fine school is the greatest,
Founded by these four,
That now line these walls.
"I am the sorting hat, you see
And I shall place you where you ought to be.
So open your arms and hearts,
And welcome new family,
For that's what they'll be.
"You could join Ravenclaw,
The brightest of this school,
That follow their brains,
As they hold their studies high
For the library is their sanctuary.
"Or you could join Slytherin,
Wearing green and silver.
They hold their heads high and proud,
For they bear Salazar's name and title,
Of the ambitious lot.
"Perhaps you favor yellow and black,
Then Hufflepuff you'll be.
Their hearts are soft and kind,
And are loyal through and through.
So, sit tall and bear those colors proud.
"The last house,
Sit in red and gold,
Where their hearts are brave.
Here they try to bear Godric's name,
But their hearts are not true.
"So everyone should open their eyes,
And actually see.
Don't just hear,
But actually listen,
As we go through another year."
The great hall erupted into applause, with Dumbledore eyeing two first years with suspicion. The hall quieted down as McGonagall unrolled the parchment. "Susan Bones."
McGonagall continued down the list until there were only five standing. "Jared Potter."
Dead silence met him as he walked forward and sat on the stool. The hat was placed on his head as Dumbledore leant forward. "Hm. Much like your father, you are." The hat said to him. "Better be, Gryffindor."
The table erupted into applause as Jared smirked and took his seat next to Percy Weasley.
"Ronald Weasley."
Harry and Hermione raised an eyebrow at each other, as W went before S.
"Gryffindor!"
More applause before McGonagall called out Ginny's name.
"Hm. Well, I won't put you in Gryffindor; oh no. You have a heart and your magic will be far greater than your families. I apologize for this, but you will no longer be a Weasley. But do not worry; you will find a better family. In fact they already consider you one of theirs. Just remember, your power is yours. Do not let anyone try to control you." The hat said to her. Ginny nodded slightly, smiling as she realized she would be free. "Slytherin!" Ginny smiled as she hopped down and joined the end of the table.
"Harry Stone." McGonagall stated.
Dumbledore glared at the boy, now realizing who it was under the hat.
"Mr. Stone, I'll need you to remove your hat." McGonagall stated.
"Sorry, Professor McGonagall. My godfather thought it would be funny and stuck the hat to my head. It won't interfere, will it?" Harry asked, his face the picture of innocence.
McGonagall raised an eyebrow but shook her head, producing a smile from the boy. She placed the hat on top of the other hat and stood back.
"Well, Dumbledore tried to kill you, did he? Not to worry; the curse is gone and now no curse of that type can be used on you again. So, heir number one, where shall I place you? Well, while I think, you should know that your father doesn't remember ever loving Lily. Wait a year and make sure the philosopher's stone is not in the hands of one teacher. Also, help Snape; he doesn't remember yet." Harry nodded slightly. "Slytherin!" The hat called, causing a pout from Gryffindor.
"Hermione Stone."
Hermione walked up and McGonagall just sighed, figuring the same with her hat. "Well, heir number two, eh? What a mind you have. You'll join your brother, do not worry. Don't let Dumbledore know that you and Harry are the heirs; and make Ginny your blood sister. She deserves it. Also, help your brother with Snape; he still doesn't remember." Hermione nodded. "Good. Slytherin!"
