"So, tell me Li, what weapon exactly was that?" Neville inquired.

"Well, obviously goblin made, it's a special set of nunchucks that can grow or shrink on command, I normally wear them as a bracelet. I'm going to let you in on a certain secret, the goblins know the chamber exists, and they sent me to not only get my wizarding education but to make sure you guys succeed in a number of things, one of those includes the chamber, make sure you tell me before you go down there. I certainly don't want to have to tell Master SharpShard I let you all die down there now do I? I'll train your friends and if you wish I'll further your training, mainly in solo combat, but don't go picking fights, that demonstration earlier today, it was good but you just showed all your enemies your skills, I held back so they will underestimate me. But, while you were aiming to injure not kill, you still revealed most of your hand, next time be more reserved." He instructed.

The group split up each heading towards their house table where their heads were handing out their schedules, Draco approached the Slytherin table with Preston at his side. "What did he want from you guys?" Daphne asked, her eyes showing a clear worry. "Nothing much, basically just a slap on the wrist despite the fact that we literally endangered every single person's life in this hall. You would think a kind, caring, headmaster would do more." Preston replied sarcastically. The surrounding Slytherins snickered, not many of them had liked the old coot, after all quite a few of their parents had been former Death Eaters and against Albus Dumbledore. Blaise raised an eyebrow but didn't say anything, "So Ice Queen," Preston started, his face giving Daphne his full attention, "what's our schedule looking like?"

"Transfiguration first, then DADA and after that we get a break." Daphne replied, privately amused at her new nickname. "Good, Draco, ask Neville to ask about the come and go room for me, then I want you three, Neville, and Susan to meet me at the entrance hall at the beginning of break. Hermione, Harry and Rose all have class during our break." Preston instructed. When he got a confirming nod he walked off, heading towards what Draco could only assume was transfiguration.

Draco walked off towards the Hufflepuff table, raising more than a few eyebrows but was left uncontested as he found Neville and Susan in an adamant conversation, about the training of aurors if he heard correctly. "Neville, Susan, Preston wants to meet us," he motioned towards himself, Daphne and Blaise, "as well as you two at the entrance hall at the beginning of break to start your training I assume."

"Do you trust him?" Neville asked, they all knew the stories about Wormtail and to Neville especially trust and loyalty were important. "As for now, I have a reserved trust, but even if I didn't he clearly knows a lot more than he's letting on. We may as well get taught, it can't hurt us." Draco reasoned.

"Alright I guess, but why not the twins or Hermione?" Susan asked.

"Oh apparently they don't have a break then." Draco answered.

"Ah, makes sense."

Across the hall, oblivious to the rest of their family's conversations, Harry, Rose and Hermione were comparing schedules. "Look, 'Mione we have charms together at the end of the day." Rose stated, pointing to a part of their schedules. "I know, I'm just going to miss you guys." Hermione replied, having always been the one who treasured family the most, even more than Neville.

"You'll be fine Neenie, you still have Padma and Terry." Harry comforted, using the nickname he had made up. "Don't forget Michael." Rose reminded her brother.

"You're right guys, thanks for that." Hermione said, giving each of them a sisterly hug before heading off for her first class of the day, Transfiguration with the Slytherins. "Well, ready to get your arse handed to you in herbology?" Rose asked her brother as they made their way towards the greenhouses.

"Now just who could hand me my arse?" Harry asked jokingly. "Neville of course." Rose deadpanned.

"Prat." Came the reply as Rose grinned cheekily.

Professor Sprout, the Hufflepuff head of house, was a sweet lady who clearly shared Neville's affinity for plants. She had short flyaway gray hair and her clothes always had pieces of dirt here and there, but most noticeable was the smile that always adorned her face. Like most of their classes that day they went over safety and the basics of the course. After herbology was DADA with Professor Quirrell who stuttered so much it was nearly impossible to understand what he was saying, making many of the mutineers glad they had done some preliminary DADA training with Sirius over the summer. The last class for the Gryffindors that monday was charms, the small half goblin, Ravenclaw head of house squealed, Professor Flitwick, with delight when he read Harry and Rose's name before then proceeding to fall off of the stack books he was standing on.

At the end of the day everyone was gathered at each of their house tables as Dumbledore stood up, clearing his throat. "Good evening everyone. I realized after lunch that thanks to the small… disturbance, this morning I never got a chance to make my welcoming speech." Dumbledore began, glaring at Preston who simply grinned and waved back. "As I was saying, to those new students welcome, to those of you returning, welcome back. I hope you all enjoyed your first day of classes. A list of all banned items can be found outside of Mr. Filch's room. Furthermore, the forbidden forest is, as it sounds, forbidden." Now it was the twins turn to grin and wave at Dumbledore as he stared at them for a second longer with his twinkling eyes. "Finally, the third corridor is forbidden to anyone who does not wish to die a very painful death. Please enjoy the feast."

Excited murmuring erupted throughout the hall as food appeared on the table. "What do you think that was about?" Hermione asked Penelope Clearwater, one of the prefects in Percy's grade. "I'm not sure, he didn't tell the prefects, maybe some of the staff know." The girl responded.

Hogwarts, September 3rd

If anyone had any qualms about the energy of their herbology and charms professor the first day it was quickly silenced by Minerva McGonagall who was a strict but fair head of Gryffindor house and transfiguration teacher. Upon entering the classroom Harry quickly got Hermione and Rose's attention by pointing to the gray tabby cat who was sitting on the desk at the front of the classroom. With no teacher in sight, the trio made their way up to the cat with smirks on their faces.

"Hello Minnie." Rose greeted, barely able to hold her laughter in. The cat glared, if that was possible. The bell rang and without warning the tabby leaped on Rose's shoulders before quickly jumping off and transforming right before their eyes. While the rest of the class applauded Hermione and Harry broke out in laughter, "Oh Rose… your face." Harry choked out. "You… you looked like you thought she was going to transform on your shoulder." Hermione coughed out before succumbing to another bout of laughter.

The gray haired 65 year old scottish professor showed a faint smile before resuming her strict demeanor. "Mr. Potter, Miss. Potter, Miss Granger please take your seats and refrain from calling me that."

"Yes ma'am, you know 'Mione I wonder how much Fred and George would pay for a memory of the Black Dog and the Gray cat or maybe some catnip memories?" Harry said as they headed for a set of seats near the front of the classroom.

"Probably a few galleons, but I still maintain that they're amateurs I mean seriously we pull off things 100x better." Hermione argued, immediately realizing what Harry was up to.

"True but maybe these ideas could improve their work." Rose replied as she grabbed her textbook from her bookbag, hiding a wicked smirk.

Minerva paled, she remember the very pranks they were talking about and now knowing that Sirius was an animagus, knew the very culprits. She had no problem believing that he and Remus would provide the memories but what truly scared her was that these children could be better than the Weasley twins, who were about on par as the marauders. "Mr. Potter, Miss Potter, Miss Granger, may I please see you after class." She asked them, Hook line and sinker, Harry thought to himself as he gave a very innocent "of course" to the transfiguration professor.

"Transfiguration," Minerva started regaining her composure, "is some of the most complex and dangerous magic you will learn at Hogwarts. Anyone messing around in my class will leave. You have been warned. " She then proceeded to transform her table into a pig, before starting a lecture on basic safety.

About 10 minutes after the class had ended Harry, Rose and Hermione were getting ready to leave when there was a knocking at the door. "Professor," Draco said when the door opened, "Professor Snape was wondering where the twins were."

"My apologies, Mr. Malfoy, I'll be sending them on their way, just let me write you a pass." McGonagall responded. As the deputy headmistress handed Harry the pass he called out "Bye Minnie!" before turning around and exiting the classroom with Hermione, Rose and Draco in tow. "So how'd you get off with that?" Draco asked.

"Pretty easily, we just had to mention a few old pranks, tell her about our pranking abilities and made a deal. Any of our family can use the name as long as we don't prank her or tell anyone about previous pranks." Rose replied. "Oh that's good!" Draco chortled. Hermione headed into the DADA classroom as the twins and Draco continued on down towards the dungeons.

As they entered the dimly lit classroom, a man with greasy black hair looked up, he was dressed in all black with a billowing cape that hung from his shoulders. "Thank you Mr. Malfoy you may return to your seat." The professor said.

"Ah. Mr Potter, Miss Potter, our new… celebrities. Thought you were so important you could get away with skipping class did you?" The professor, Snape, Rose thought to herself, sneered. Doing some quick occlumency, to calm herself, Rose answered back, "No professor, Professor McGonagall requested for us to stay after to discuss a private matter." Rose then proceeded to hand over the pass that McGonagall had given them. Snape's scowl deepened but he just motioned for them to take their seats. "Potter!" He called looking at Harry, "what would I get if I were to combine powdered root of asphodel with wormwood?" Harry opened his mouth only to close it as Rose calmly answered "Draught of Living Death, professor." Snape scowled a little more but just continued, "What is the difference between monkshood and wolfsbane?" This caused Draco, Harry, Rose and surprisingly Preston, to all try and choke back their laughter. "20 points from Gryffindor for laughing at a teacher! Now answer the question." Snape snapped. "You know professor," Preston drawled from the back of the class, "if you actually did your job as a teacher by finding out our parents and guardians instead of asking 1st years NEWT level questions, you would know exactly why we find it funny, furthermore, if your going to deduct points from Gryffindor why not 20 from Slytherin? After all, Draco and I did laugh at you as well."

Snape fumed. Not only was someone trying to show him up in his first class but it was one of his snakes. "Class dismissed. Potter, Malfoy, Li, stay behind." He barked like an army sergeant. As the class left, some giving curious glances to the 4, Li made his way up to the front of the classroom as if he had not a care in the world. "What is the meaning of this disruption, Mr. Li?" Snape asked through gritted teeth.

"Depends, what is the meaning of you asking NEWT level questions to 1st years? What is the meaning of you favoring Slytherin? What is the meaning of you having a dark mark?" Li replied nonchalantly. Rose had to admire Li's casualness but something was nagging in the back of her mind, just how did he know that Remus raised them?

"How dare you make such accusations!" Snape all but screamed. When asked about it later, Rose wouldn't be able to answer just what it was but something inside of her snapped, "Oh cut the act, professor," She added scathingly. "I know who you hung out with, all those death eaters, your parents must be so proud." Rose continued sarcastically, reminding Snape eerily of his late ex-friend, Lily. Harry and Draco both took a step back, it was rare that Rose got like this but when she did things tended to break, whether they were bones or cauldrons, nothing good could come out of this. "Or how 'bout my mum? Hmm? You know, she just loved being called a mudblood by her supposed best friend." Harry and Draco gasped, they had no idea what Rose was talking about but both could only assume Snape had something to do with it. All around the classroom cauldrons were shaking, glass vials cracking and stools levitating. Noticing this, Preston took a step forward and put a hand on Rose's shoulder gaining an almost immediate reaction, without a word she spun on her heel and stalked off, Harry and Draco trailing her. Before he followed after, Preston gave one last glance at the shocked professor, "Know this Snape, if even a single word of what she said was true, you won't keep all your body parts if they're as good with those weapons as I think they are. You better find a way to fix your… predicament, and you better find it fast.

A/N: OOOOH I'm evil leaving you all on a cliffy, don't worry this is one of the more minor problems and I'm still not sure how I want Snape to turn out, was he truly evil? Is he a puppet of Dumbledore? Does he deserve pity? Who knows?! We'll see as things go and decide then.
