Time and Fun
o---------------------------------o
The morning of the first classes dawned bright and clear, when Harry got down to breakfast, the Great Hall was a buzz with news about a group of Magical Beings that were stirring up trouble trying to get more rights for other magical beings. They were saying things about governing themselves, being free to live the way they wanted, even in the muggle world, in disguise of course, they wanted equal rights for all sentient beings and they were ready to fight if necessary. Suffice to say the European Wizarding world was in a tizzy. The Asian and American Wizarding worlds were telling the European one to just let them have their way… England was FREAKING over the audacity of there creatures, these non humans thinking that they were just as good as humans.
Harry sat down next to Seamus and asked what everyone was talking about.
"Well it seems that there has been two Magical Creatures governing body in Asia and America, the American on was based off of the older Asian one and they are now working together to get Europe to have one, the Wizarding Governments of Asia and America are suggesting that our governments just let it happen but our governments especially England's are truly repulsed by the idea."
"The Leader of the Asian Group has all but declared war on us saying that non humans have more right to their own protection and governing then humans do." Neville joined in.
"Wow Sesshomaru really wasn't kidding when he said that it was time to end the gross repression that humans in Europe visit upon those of non human nature…." Harry mused.
"You KNOW the guy?!" Seamus and Neville asked.
"Yeah I met him in China over the vacation…. He is Sirius's father. He is Ranma's grand father. He is nice when you aren't trying to tell him that he and his people are inferior to you. As it is he is smarter then anyone that I know even Dumbledore."
"So who should we endorse?"
"I'd go for equality; after all you don't want to end up like Umbridge did with the Centaurs."
"Maybe I should tell the world that Potty's Godfather isn't completely human." Malfoy crowed.
"Maybe you should mind your own business before I go youkai on you and do to you worse than what the Centaurs did to this Umbrage person." Ranma got into Malfoy's face, his hair fading to white, eyes turning golden, fangs and claws growing out of their respective places. He was growling deep in his throat, and glowing with a bright blue light. Malfoy pissed in his pants and ran as if the hounds of hell were on his tail considering he had just met a pissed off Inu Hanyou it wasn't far off.
"Wow Ranma that was some illusion." Neville awed.
Ranma went back to normal and sat down. "Wasn't an illusion that was real I am after all descended from an Inu Youkai."
"But what does that mean?"
"Loosely, very loosely, because there is so much more to it then the translation it is: inu means dog no need for loose translation there, you have a terrier you call it dog I call it inu. Youkai is different the easiest translation for it is demon. The Full translation for it is Ghost, Apparition, Phantom, Specter, Demon, Monster or Goblin, so anything that the Ministry wants to keep oppressed. That is also why the two groups that are pressuring the Ministries right now are called Youkai Council the word just fits."
"Ok." Seamus went back to his breakfast and the others followed.

Time passed quickly within Hogwarts Castle, Exercise and breakfast brought classes and Harry found his first DADA class two days into the school year. Potions right after. But first he had to get past Transfiguration and Charms, then Astronomy and Beginning Arithmancy and Useful Runes, Harry wanted to learn new things this year.
During Transfiguration Professor McGonagall started segment on self transfiguration that would hit upon both the animagus transformation and they type of tranfigutation that Victor Krum had done in 4th year in the lake. She invited Sirius an Remus to help explain the differences as werewolves generally can't become animagus as the curse overwrights any ablilty they may have had. After class Harry and his expanded circle of friends met with Sirius as they walked to Charms.
"So how do you like this year so far?" Sirius ruffled Harry's hair.
"It's great... hey has anyone figured out your secret yet?" harry ducked his head to get away.
"Nope, and I'd like to keep it that way so no telling people I have one." His godfather made to tickle him
"Right, and how are you going to avoid the curse on the DADA position?" and Harry dodged out of the way.
"Simple I will not teach next year Angela will." Sirius waved good bye and went to his next class and Harry's group went to Charms.
o---------------------------o
"Welcome to NEWT Potions, some of you belong here others well just got lucky." Snape glared at Harry Hermione and Ranma who were all taking the class, he also glared at some Hufflepuffs that made it and swallowed their fear and took the class. He nodded at the Slytherins and ignored the Ravenclaws.
"Some of you think that FAME and having a Parent or two on Staff are all you need to succeed in Potions...."
"Professor how about a bet? If I can out brew you on a Potion of your choice you shut up with the insults, ALL the insults, if I can't they you can fail me out of your class right here and now." Ranma calmly stated.
Snape glared ad him "YOu think you canout brew me? A potions MASTER??"
"Well I can try, and Hedmaster could be the Judge since you I don't trust."
"FINE!! MALFOY get Professor Dumbledore!!"
Malfoy ran out of the room and came back a few minutes later with the Headmaster.
"What is it my boy?"
"THAT BRAT JUST CHALLENGED ME TO A POTIONS BREWING CONTEST!?!?!"
"I see, and why am I here?"
"BECAUSE HE DOES NOT TRUST ME!!!"
"Course I don't, you hate me, my dad, my uncle, and my cousin, not sure about my mom, but well I assume you do, can't call my parents or Kasumi or Rumus to judge cause you will say cheater and I don't want that, so the Headmaster it is, unless there is someone else you prefer?" Ranma stated leaning back balancing on one leg of his stool.
"No Albus is fine. We will brew Liquid Luck."
"Are you sure Severus?"
"YES!!!"
o---------------------------o
Suffice to say someone who proclaimes he dosn't loose, daren't loose, and anyway Cologne whould never have passed Ranma out of her Potions calsses if he couldn't brew very well indeed. Snape lost but never stopped insulting them and taking points and giving detentions, Ranma contested each and every one, and the points never went anywhere but up and detentions never got filled.
o---------------------------
As time passed the year got better since Ranma challenged Snape and diminished the Slytherins either with the logic of scientific results of inbreeding or a kick in the pants. Sirius and the adult group buffering the adult problems and the change to for once be a kid, Harry was very happy.
The Prophet reported haw the Minestry was in a hissy fit, esp one Dolores Umbridge, about Sesshomaru and his Youkai Council. The Youkai Council went to the Muggle Queen and informed her that her subjects were stuck in the dark ages and she took more intrest inthe magical side of things realizing that she had trusted a currupt institution to far.
Because of these problems the Department of the Disposal of Dangerous Ceatures stormed Hogwarts one full moon to capture Remus even if they had to make him dangerous themselves. Only to come up the walk and see Remus and Kasumi with Harry's friends and family playng tag, Harry was ridng Remus and Ron was 'IT'. Suffice to say they went home disapointed and empty handed and the Prophet had a field day with the story rita having been riding on Harry that night, learing to be a kid again.
o---------------------------o
The first Griffindor Quiditch match of the year came and went Huffelpuff gave the Lions a good game this year however the brave ones still won 150 to 200.
The night after the match Harry dreamed of a now scarred Riddle planning to enter Hogwarts somehow and Malfoy was the key.
