Chapter .3.
"How will we be getting there?" Ted asks
"Floo to Hogsmeade town. The Three Broom Sticks have floo access", Eddie says
"This way to the floo", Daphne says showing them to the fire place
"I'll go first you all follow me. Daph you go last", Eddie says, "Incendio!"
The fire comes to life. Eddie steps into the fire with floo powder.
"The Three Broom Sticks, Hogsmeade Town!" Eddie says clearly
He spins and lands neatly in the pub.
"Morning Mr Macmillan", the bar tender says
"Morning Rosemarie", Eddie says
"Just you?" Rosemarie asks
"No. More. And I would appreciate it if you told no one", Eddie says
"Why…", Rosemarie starts
That's when Minerva comes through the floo followed by the rest.
"How?" Rosemarie asks shocked
"Don't know. They appeared at their graves this morning. You know they can't be impersonated", Eddie says as Daphne comes through
"Welcome back. I take it your taking them to the Arch-Headmaster?" Rosemarie asks
"Yes. We better get going", Eddie says
"Good Luck", Rosemarie says
"Wow", Tonks says as they exist the pub
"The village is bigger", Remus says looking around
"It is now a town. Hogsmeade town was built in 2000", Daphne says as the walk up a hill
What the returns see shocks them Hogwarts was bigger than it had been before. There was also other buildings like schools. You could feel the magic of this place.
"Shocked?" Daphne asks
"What are those buildings?" Sirius asks curiously
"One is Hogwarts Day-Care Ages 2 Weeks – 4 years", Daphne says
"Which on is it?" Lily asks
"That one", Daphne says pointing at a building that had a fence around it and various playing equipment
"What is that one?" Severus asks pointing at the bigger fence building and it was bigger
"That is Hogwarts Primary School for ages 5 – 10", Eddie says
"What is that one?" Ted asks pointing to a building with no fences around it
"Hogwarts University for ages 18 – 28", Eddie says
"There is also the Auror and Military Hogwarts Academy for ages 18 - 40", Daphne says
"There are no Muggle-Repelling wards", Albus says
"Of course not. You will find out why soon. There is Hogsmeade Station", Daphne says pointing to the other side
"It is bigger", Andromeda says
"Of course. Hogsmeade station has 10 train tracks. One train goes at 4am next at 6am, next is 10am, next is 12pm, next is 3pm", Eddie says as they walk
"There are several stops along the way of the public trains", Daphne adds
"Where do they stop?" James asks curious
"Diagon City, Hogsmeade, King Cross Station, St Mungo's, Godric's Hollow, Catchpole and a few more places over the country", Eddie says as they walk
They come to the Castle doors after walking a long way. They had taken the time to notice the changes that had happened.
"Marlee", Eddie says to a woman as they enter the Castle
"Everything alright?" 'Marlee' asks
"Yes. Is the Arch-Headmaster available?" Daphne asks
"He is", Marlee replies
"We will go to him then. How was your Summer?" Eddie asks before they leave
"Great. Spent time with the family. Have a good day", Marlee says
"Who was that?" Tonks asks
"One of the Care Takers of the Schools", Eddie replies
"How many Care Takers does all the schools have?" Minerva asks
"11 altogether", Daphne says as they come to elevators
"We have elevators? How?" Lily asks
"Muggle Technology works here. We had some students that are disabled. They need to get to their classes so these 18 lifts go up to each level of the Castle", Daphne says as they get in one big elevator
The returns look at the buttons that were on a panel. 1 – 70 was on there and Dungeons. Eddie presses 64.
"There are 70 floors to the Castle plus 10 towers and three dungeons", Daphne says as they go up in the elevator
"Level 64", a voice says
The doors open and Eddie and Daphne lead them down the halls on the 64th floor. Till they come to a Golden Phoenix, Golden Eagle, Golden Grim and a Golden Griffin at the back of a platform.
"Everyone on the platform", Daphne says
"This is the entrance to the Arch-Headmasters Office. He is in charge of ALL schools", Eddie says as they all fit on the platform
"Password?" the three figures say
"Phoenix Crystalus", Daphne says
"Correct", the Phoenix replies
The platform moves up. They get off the platform when it stops. They follow Eddie and Daphne into the big office. They see a Blue, Gold and Silver Phoenix on a perch with a Storm Eagle and Storm Hawk. A Storm Panther was watching them. A Sphinx. A miniature Griffin was on the floor with a Grim dog sat on the floor with a blue and white Runespoor a man was at the desk filling in paperwork. The Phoenix busts into song. Joyous and loud. The grim dog barks happily. The man looks up shocked by what he sees.
"How?" he asks
"They turned up at the Cemetery this morning", Eddie says
"As you know nobody can impersonate them", Daphne adds
"It will take some time to get used too. But I am not going to question it. Adeka sang and Aden, Isai, Asia, Sashsat, Osiris, Cailean and Kima, Kika, Kric didn't attack so I know they are back", the man says, "Maybe you can introduce yourselves anyway?"
"Lily Potter", Lily says
"James Potter", James says
"Sirius Black", Sirius says
"Remus Lupin", Remus says
"Tonks", Tonks says
"Andromeda Tonks", Andromeda says
"Ted Tonks", Ted says
"Severus Snape", Severus says
"Fred Weasley"
"Cedric Diggory"
"Alastor Moody"
"Minerva McGonagall-Dumbledore"
"Albus Dumbledore. Who might you be?" Albus says eyes twinkling
"I am Harry Severus Snape. Once Harry Potter. Welcome back all of you", Harry says standing up and coming around the desk
"Harry you grown old", Sirius says laughing
"Hello Godfather", Harry says hugging Sirius laughing
Harry hugs Minerva, Remus, Tonks, Lily, and James. Shakes Fred, Cedric, Albus, Mad-eye, and Mr and Mrs Tonks hands
"Dad", Harry says to Severus
"Son. I am sorry I left you", Severus says
"Don't apologies for dying", Harry says, "Any of you"
"What do we do now?" Lily asks
"Take a seat and I will get some people", Harry says waving his hand and chairs appear in front of his desk
Harry goes over to the fire place and starts talking to someone then another before pulling his head out.
"Minister of Magic is on way and so is George. Now Expecto Patronum!" Harry says pulling out his wand
A silver panther comes out.
"Mum, Katie please come to my office. Some people have returned from the dead", Harry says letting the Patronus go
"Your shape has changed", Remus notes
"It did when I found out my true identity", Harry replies
"That doesn't look like your Phoenix wand", Albus notes
"No. It is Kingswood, Alder, Cypress, Rowan Wood, Red Oak with a Phoenix Feather, Grim Hair, Runespoor scale, Sphinx hair and Storm Eagle Father 13 ½ inches", Harry says as the flames light up and a red-haired figure with some grey hair and one ear missing steps out
"George?" Fred asks looking at the man who used to be his twin
"Fred? Boy I didn't expect to see you again", George says pulling Fred into a hug
"Have you been causing everyone hell?" Fred asks as they pull apart
George laughs, "Well we own a few Weasley Wizard Wheezes shops all around the world. We have done very well"
"How many shops do you have now?" Remus asks
"One in Hogsmeade Town, Diagon Alley, Ireland, France, Italy, Greece, Spain, Denmark, Germany, Poland, Russia, India, Japan, China, America, New Zealand, Australian", George replies
"What is this store?" Sirius asks
"Pranks", George replies
Lily groans at the glint in James and Sirius's eyes.
"Who did you marry old boy?" Fred asks George
"Sarai Snape. It was meant to be. When our eyes contacted sparks flow. She healed me. The day after we won the Battle of Hogwarts I tried to kill myself. Sarai had just arrived and saved me. We have been together ever since", George says
"Your sister Harry?" Fred asks
"Yes", Harry replies
Severus groans, "She had to marry one of the twins"
The floo lights up and a woman enters.
"Minster Weasley", Harry says
"Arch-Headmaster Snape", the woman replies with a smile
"Your fiancée is back", Harry says guesting to Fred
"Fred. I felt you would come back", the woman says tears in her eyes
"Angelina?" Fred asks getting up
"It is me. Oh I have missed you so much", Angelina says throwing her arms around him crying
"I'm back. I won't leave you again", Fred says kissing her
"You better not leave us", Angelina says after the kiss
"Us?" Fred asks
George and Harry grin this was going to be funny.
"You remember that night 3 days before the Battle?" Angelina asks
"Yes", Fred says slowly
"Well you got me pregnant with Octuplets", Angelina says, "3 girls and 5 boys"
"I have children?" Fred asks shocked
"Yes. They are 29 now and have children of their own. Two work for Weasley Wizard Wheezes", Angelina says
"What do you do for work?" Fred asks
"I am the Minister for Magic", Angelina says with a grin
"You got a high paying job", Fred jokes
Angelina laughs, "It does have its perks"
"Well done Miss Johnson", Albus says
"Actually my legal name is Angelina Johnson-Weasley we were engaged when he died", Angelina says
"Harry?" a voice asks
They look behind them to see a black haired woman walking towards them. They see the shock in her eyes at them.
"Honey", Harry says kissing her lips
"I couldn't believe it without seeing it", she says
"Everyone this is my wife Katie Bell-Snape", Harry says
"Hello Father-in-law", Katie says to Severus
"You where one of my bright students", Severus says
"Thank you sir", Katie says smiling, "Welcome back all of you. Hey Cedric"
"Hi Katie. How are you?" Cedric asks
"I am great. And it looks like you all are great too", Katie replies
"What do you do Katie?" Fred asks
"I am Deputy Headmistress, and Easy Potions Professor at Hogwarts Primary", Katie replies sitting next to her husband
"Harry?" another female voice says coming in
The returns hardly recognise her as Bellatrix. She didn't look crazy. She looked kind.
"Everyone my Mother Bellatrix Black", Harry says
"I remember. Bella are you, you?" Severus asks getting up
"It is me. I swear. I am not crazy under that strong Imperio anymore", Bellatrix says hugging her Severus and giving him a kiss
"But how is she not in Azkaban?" Minerva asks
"It was proved she was under an advanced form of the Imperio Curse. She fixed the wrongs that she did. Alice and Frank Longbottom are leading full lives today. I suspect you don't know Alice, Lily, Zavala, Narcissa, Andromeda and Minerva are Mum's sisters? And Arcturus is mum's brother" Harry asks
"Really?" Tonks asks
"Yes dear niece. Andy, Ted, Lils, Minnie", Bellatrix says hugging her sisters and surprising them with when she hugged Ted
"So you don't hate Muggle-Borns?" Ted asks
"No. That was the Imperio. I was only off it briefly with my relationship with Severus, giving birth to Sarai, Nevaeh, Logan and Harry's birth and giving him to Lils. She did more than I did. She sacrificed herself for my son. I helped your son when I got my other children", Bellatrix says
"So you have no problem with what people call half-breeds, Blood-Traitors, Muggles and Mud-Bloods?" Sirius asks
"I have no problem with them. They are just like everyone else", Bellatrix replies
"You have changed", Tonks says
"This is the real me. Some people still don't like me. But I have lots of friends", Bellatrix says
"They don't understand that stronger forbidden spell Mum. They don't know are hard it is on the mind", Harry says
"Sorry for hitting you with that spell that made you go into the veil Siri. I was trying to fight it", Bellatrix says looking upset
"What done is done. Let's move on", Sirius says
"Well said", Albus says
"If it makes you feel better I destroyed that tree at Grimmuald Place. I hated it. So did Narcissa, Alice, Zavala and they helped destroy it", Bellatrix says
"Any questions you want to know?" Harry asks, "We will try our best to answer them"
"Well I thought you would marry Ginny", Fred says
Harry, George, Bellatrix, Angelina and Katie eyes go stormy
"She was drugging me with love potion. Amortentia. Then when everyone found out I was the son of Severus Snape and Bellatrix Black people turned on me. Molly Weasley did, so did Arthur Weasley, Charlie Weasley, Henry Weasley, Ron Weasley and Ginny Weasley. I can tell you now they aren't happy with me as Arch-Headmaster. But I am the magical heir of the founders of Hogwarts and of Merlin and I am an a Arch-Enchanter, Will Wizard", Harry replies
"Mum disowned us. Percy, Bill and me for staying with Harry", George says
"She still talked to her Grandchildren from us. But when one married Teddy she stopped saying it was a disgrace. He was cared for by a 'dark man' and 'dark family'", Katie says
"Would a dark man sacrifice himself for everyone in the Last Battle?" Bellatrix says
"What does that mean?" Minerva asks
"It means none of the spells Voldemort put on people lasted. Harry had went and welcomed death for all of us. He meant to die that is what did it. We are all protected. Like you did Lily for Harry", Bellatrix says
"So you destroyed all the Horcrux's?" Albus asks
"Yes. Even if it got out I was the son of Severus Snape and Bellatrix Black more people still trusted me for standing up for them and protecting them. That's how I got this job. And being Head of the Wizengamot", Harry says
"So you put up these new 'schools'?" Ted Tonks asks
"Yes it was my idea. We started building in 2000. We have students of every species here. Including Muggles with a Muggle-born sisters/brothers. They can't take the wand subjects but they can take the others. We have Muggle and Magical classes now", Harry explains
"What about decimation?" Lily asks
"I have a strict no decimation policy. Anyone that breaks it spends a month in detention, letter written to parents and house points taken off. They also have Hogsmeade Town visits cancelled. There are others you will find out in time. I will NOT toluate anyone calling a person an insulting name or being mean to them", Harry says strongly
"Did it get worse after I died?" Cedric asks
"Yeah", Harry says
"What did you do with the Money?" Cedric asks
"I gave it to Fred and George to open their joke shop we own 25% of it in stocks", Harry replies
"How many Parselmouths are there now?" Severus asks
"39", Harry replies
"What about animal speakers?" Albus asks
"78", Harry replies
"How many subjects do you have here?" Minerva asks
"In Pre-Hogwarts 16 subjects, in Hogwarts 90 classes and in Hogwarts University 6 subjects plus a Master degree in your field or a Mistress-ship or Master-ship. The Auror/Military Hogwarts Academy", Harry says handing them the list of subjects
"This is a very big list", Albus says
"How does it work?" Minerva asks
"For one they only have one class every hour making room for more classes. We have nearly every subject with two - three teachers", Harry replies
"Tell them how many are enrolled here", Katie tells Harry

"You really do have it all", Severus says impressed with his son
"Yes. Oversalty werewolves have to take their potion on the nights of the full moons. Our Potions Master makes it for Students and Teachers for free. That's how we got a lot of Werewolves. Greyback did a lot of damage during the War. We have found the victims and bought them here. There are still werewolves who bite on purpose. But we find the victims and offer them an education. Angelina also has a no decimation policy at the Ministry. Everyone can get jobs now. I started the ball rolling", Harry says
"How?" Andromeda asks
"Well the Goblins have been compiling a list of Dark Wizards for years. The Wizengamot called a state of emergency allowing them to seize the Vaults of the Death Eaters across the world. We gave them 40% of the takings to make Azkaban secure. It now has a goblins guarding it. Making it more secure than it ever was", Harry explains
"That's amazing. I have never heard of such a thing", James exclaims
"How can you afford to have all these schools?" Albus asks the next question
"Well Day-Care for all the years your there is $1,700 Galleons, Pre-Hogwarts is $5,500 Galleons, Hogwarts is $13,700, Hogwarts University is $18,000 Galleons, Academy of Aurors and Military is $16,000 Galleons. Also we have a Hogwarts Summer Camp for students 7 – 18 with it being $400 Galleons a Summer. And as the founders magical heir I have access to their vault. The school vault that hadn't been open in years. I freed $50,000,000 Galleons a year to go towards the schools. If you do well in Pre-Hogwarts you have a chance to get a full Scholarships to Hogwarts, and if you do well at Hogwarts you get a full Scholarship to Hogwarts University", Harry explains
"That's a good plan. Do you still have the Houses?" Minerva asks very impressed with her Gryffindor
"We have 10 houses now they are Acosta, Blackthorn, Enchanted, Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Icelight, Lunalily, Prince, Ravenclaw and Slytherin. Everyone is still sorted when they turn 11. I had made another sorting hat that has all of them. This has been since 2008. Each house has a Head of House and Deputy 1, Deputy 2 and Deputy 3", Harry replies
"What about prefects and all that?" Cedric asks
"We have Two Head Boys and Girls that will be 17. Prefects are 14-16: 2 boys and 2 girls for every year and house. Team Leaders 12 – 13 and each House has a Valedictorian when they graduate at 17 and 25. Also a Dux of the Hogwarts at 17. They get a plague and are put on the list of students to have already got it", Harry replies, "For the teachers we a High Deputy Headmistress, Deputy Headmaster/Headmistress 1, Deputy Headmistress/Headmaster 2 and Deputy Headmistress/headmaster 3"
"Who are they?" Fred asks
"High Deputy Headmistress is my wife Katie Snape, Deputy Headmaster 1 is Rubeus Hagrid, Deputy Headmistress 2 is my mother Bellatrix Black and Deputy Headmistress 3 is a woman named Jodi Caller", Harry replies
"So Hagrid got his wand back?" Albus asks
"Yes. Angelina and I made sure of it", Harry replies
"How about Quidditch?" Fred asks
"We have a Captain and Vice Captain now. Other sporting events have a Captain and a Vice Captain too. But you can't be two Captains you have to pick which one", Harry replies
"I take it because the size of the school you have more healers?" Andromeda asks
"Healers are Madam Poppy Pomfrey who is head healer, Annie Shacklebolt, Betty Smith, Luken Peterson, Max Wells and Julie Snape and 4 others. So 10 healers. We also have 8 school councillors they are Logan Snape, Katherine-Thomas-Snape, Billy Champ, Polly Timber, Warrick Debans, Melinsa Peace, Jemima Snape-Finnigan, Jackson Finnigan. And all students staring from age 4 are check for abuse. I don't want what happened to me happen to anyone else. If we catch it early enough we can help them before they have issues. And Career Councillors 5. ", Harry says
"I should have done that when you were at school. I am sorry Harry", Albus says
"It is in the past", Harry says
"Did you get knew school brooms?" Tonks asks, "Before they were really old"
"Yes we have the 800 Firebolts 3000", Harry replies
"You said you have Muggle Technology. How can that be?" Lily asks
"With and extra 10% of the Death Eater money we had the goblins work it out. Now ALL Muggle Technology works here. We have a Video Game room for students on the weekend who have finished their homework. This is a privilege too", Harry replies
"We have also upgraded the library. It is now 10 floors in one floor with wizard space and it has 9 librarians", Katie tells them
"We have also changed the grading system with permission from the Ministry, Board of Governors, and Testing Department they are:
Passing Grades

"So the Muggles understand too. We still do tests at the end of the year but the major tests are still in 5th and 7th year", Harry adds
"What are the houses colours and symbol?" Sirius asks
"We know Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and Slytherin. What are the other ones?" Minerva asks
"Acosta is Gold/Light Blue and their symbol is a Whale, Blackthorn is Black/Purple and their symbol is a Dragon, Enchanted is Purple/Bronze and their symbol is a Swan, Icelight is light blue/white and their symbol is a penguin, Lunalily is Yellow/Silver and their symbol is a Leopard and Prince is Blue/Gold and their symbol is a wolf", Bellatrix says
"Any other new things put in place at the school?" Severus asks
"We have Several Balls. Halloween Ball, Yale Ball, New Years Eve Ball, Valentine Ball, St Patrick's Day Ball, Royal Ball, Easter Ball, Victory/Memorial Day Ball and of year ball", Katie says
"Students are also allowed to go home on Weekends once a month by their Head of House Floo. That is a Privilege so it can be lost", Bellatrix says
"We can also have any type of pet you want. Within Reason", Harry says, "As long as you look after them. Diagon Alley now sells lots of Muggle Pets"
"You have really made us proud Harry", Severus says
Harry smiled he liked hearing that.
"Did you do your N.E.W.T.S?" Severus asks
"No but I got my Mastery in Ancient Runes, Arthimacy, Defence, Herbology, Transfiguration, Charms and Potions. I help out in those classes if needed", Harry replies
"You didn't take Ancient Runes and Arthimacy", Minerva says
"I did them at school. Nobody even knew. I got my Masters in Ancient Runes and Arthimacy in 2009, Masters Care of Magical Creatures in 2010, Masters in Defence in 2000, Masters in Charms in 1999, Herbology in 2008, Masters in Potions in 2001 and Masters in Transfiguration in 2005", Harry replies, "So now the question is do you all want to teacher here?"
"If you allow me", Albus says
"Me too", Minerva says
"Me too", Remus says nervously
"Me too", Tonks says
"Me too", Lily says
"Me too", James says
"Me too", Sirius says
"Me too", Severus says
"I guess", Moody growls
"I will", Cedric says
"I will", Andromeda says
"I will", Ted Tonks says
"I will", Fred says, "I think George has our business handled. I can teach a subject"
"I will ask you which one and you will reply. Minerva?" Harry asks
"Transfiguration if that is possible", Minerva says
"That is fine. Albus?" Harry asks
"Ancient Magic", Albus says
"Done. Dad?" Harry asks
"Potions", Severus says
"Done. Fred I would like you to do Charms how does that sound?" Harry asks
"I can do that", Fred says
"You can also in your spare time help me with our business", George says
"I like the sound of that", Fred says with a grin
"Cedric how about the Curse Breaking Class?" Harry asks
"That sounds good. Thanks Harry", Cedric says
"Lily I would like you to do English Class", Harry says
"I will do it", Lily says
"Mrs Tonks how about Traditions with your sister Narcissa?" Harry asks
"I can do that", Andromeda says
"Mr Tonks how about the Math class?" Harry asks
"I can do that", Ted says
"Done. Sirius what about Spell Creation?" Harry asks
"I can do that", Sirius says grinning
"James how about Rituals Class?" Harry asks
"I can do that", James says
"Remus and Moody how about Advance Defence?" Harry asks
"Yeh sure", Remus says
"Sure", Moody says
"Tonks how about regular Defence?" Harry asks
"Yeh I can do that", Tonks says excitedly
"Well that is all done. That the first few weeks with the other teachers teaching that Subject. You all will be working with your Partner in those classes", Harry explains
"We better do an interview with the Daily Prophet and Wizard ZNN now. They need new things after all and tomorrow is the best day to get them", Angelina says
"Ok I will come with you. Mum, Katie, George feel free to show them around the school and tell them anything I missed. I will be back in a couple of hours", Harry says putting his cloak on, "Katie come here a minute"
Harry and Katie whisper for a minute before Katie nods and moves away from Harry.
"Have fun with the press", Katie says to him
"Thanks Honey", Harry says going into the floo and saying the Ministry of Magic
"Well let's show you around this big school", Katie says
