(A/N) OKAY people i'm back! Yeah that's right loopy's back... *lack of enthusiastic audience.* shucks. Haha. Anyways. Quite a few people want the Tri-wizard with loopholes for Harry. Others want a Harry/Hermione/Daphne (again you guys vote on that- but I quite like the idea). One person...Nemo2002... had the idea of making it a slight parody. I quote. "Sirius' jaw will drop if Harry can manage to prank a dragon^^" It appeals to my own nature so I thought I'd give it a whirl.

Sorry to everyone who didn't want the tournament to go through... please keep reading though I love all the reviews and it does make me really happy to see people taking notice of my first-fanfic ever. The problem with me giving you guys voting is that some will be happy, other not; I'm just trying to go with what most of you want & try not to alienate others.

The Tri-wizard, for Harry, will consist of the first task only the rest he won't do- he has 'apparent' lord duties (in other words he has ''bunker-itus'').

The time taken to arrive at Hogwarts was lengthy. The students were restless on the train while Harry, the girls, and Neville started chatting and swapping stories. Harry and Hermione told them the story of when Sirius got an ice-bath courtesy of Lord and Lady Potter; Neville and the four other girls had a great laugh.

Neville had been a different person. Not so shy and a lot more outgoing; Harry and the others that knew him were rather shocked to see the change but were happy for him. Last year he had barely been able to tell professor Lupin that he was afraid of professor Snape.

The group entered the Great Hall. Joy of joys... Professor Snape is around; the grumpy old bat. Harry smiled. "Evening professor!" He said good-naturedly. Inwardly he knew he was going to lose points but he could always restore those when he figured out how to contact Hogwarts.

"Potter..." Snape began before noticing Daphne and Tracey. "Miss Greengrass, Miss Davies why are you with Potter?" Before they could answer, he whirled on Harry; who was surrounded by his friends. "Tut tut Potter... 50 points from Gryffindor and detention for using magic on students. Beginning of term Potter and you're already losing points... shameful." Snape smirked. Harry avoided his eyes, knowing Snape practiced the mind-arts.

Daphne looked annoyed and so did Tracey. "Professor, Harry hasn't done anything to us; we're here, with him, on our own accord."

Snape raised an eyebrow, a sneer appeared. "Clearly confunded... another detention Potter." He walked off.

Harry didn't pay attention and walked past him with the others of the group following, he entered the Great Hall. Harry's eyes scanned the House tables and the staff table. As his eyes swept to Dumbledore he felt a tingle to the back of his mind and threw up his Occlumency barriers, he glared at the professor but smiled at Dumbledore's recoil.

He made his way to the closest seat at the Gryffindor table, the others split up and went to their respective houses and sat down. Harry, Hermione and Neville sat at their table pointedly ignoring Ron and Ginny who were glaring at them. Ron still had a head of green hair and the t-shirt from earlier; Ginny seemed to be undressing Harry's torso with her eyes again.

Harry and Hermione shared a smile when Dumbledore stood and announced. " I will have something to announce as always but for now I have two words. Dig in." Food appeared and everyone began digging in. Hermione looked up the table and saw Ron inhaling food... apparently trying to take the food through his nose as well; Hermione looked away disgusted and nodded to Harry.

Harry nodded and discreetly raised his wand and began incantation that Sirius had taught them to alter the ceiling. Finishing quickly as possible, Harry placed a timer on it... five minutes. He smirked at Hermione and began eating. After five minutes of eating mouth-watering roast lamb and roast potatoes with vegetables, the Hall echoed a BOOM.

Many of the students shouted out. At the staff table Harry caught Moony looking at him and smiled. Above their heads the Great Hall's ceiling a voice echoed.

'Hello to all and welcome to Hogwarts. The newest Marauders have the blessing of Padfoot to begin a new reign of pranking and fun. Let the time of Jaws and Tails begin!'

Quite a few students with parents who lived in the Marauder's time cheered loudly. They had heard hilarious stories about the ways the Marauders got into fun. Many of them connected to Snape, who had made his way into the Hall at precisely the wrong point in time to enter. He had no expression on his face as he made his way to the staff table.

Harry used a wandless transfiguring spell on Snapes clothes. Snapes billowing, black robes turned into Nevilles grandmother's clothes from third year. The hall burst out laughing, including a load of Slytherins, when Snape stumbled in the high-heels.

Snape whirled on Harry, who had promptly gone back to his meal, and stumbled over; the hall still laughing... a few professors included. Snape grabbed Harry's shoulder and yanked him out've his seat. "What do you think you're playing at Potter?" He screamed. No-one was laughing now.

Harry made a show of getting off the floor and brushing himself tidy. "I did nothing professor." Harry began, his voice echoing around the hall. Dumbledore had a twinkling look in his eyes. "Please do not man-handle me again." He turned his back, to sit down again.

Snape stood there shocked, before becomming angry again. "Shut your face you arrogant little-"

"Severus please calm down; come and eat." Dumbledore intervened. Snape silently fumed but did as he was asked, and went over to the staff table.

The Hall returned to the usual levels of chatter and discussion, Harry turned to Hermione; who was sat of his left. "That went quite well didn't it?" He grinned.

"Pretty well, yes." she smiled. "But he is a teacher so don't do it too often." She went back to reading a book she had pulled out, and slowly eating her food.

"Yes dear." He replied mock-meekly. He brightened. "It was funny though." He watched as her delicate, pink lips opened and closed around another roast potato. He tore his gaze from her and went back to his own meal.

Neville looked at Harry. "It was you who did that to Professor Snape? Good on you mate, just be careful though." He looked up at the staff table to see Snape glaring a hole through the back of Harry's head, then looked back at Harry. Harry nodded knowingly. "He's glaring at me, isn't he?"

Neville nodded then turned to Dean and Seamus to ask for more potatoes.

A good twenty minutes later and approximately four-hundred students were holding their stomach's groaning from the overload of delicious food, cursing the meal. Dumbledore tapped his goblet to gain attention from the talking students.

"Welcome and Welcome back to Hogwarts. The first announcement is for the first years; Mr. Filch." He motioned to the grumpy man holding his feline in the corner of the Hall. "Has asked me to inform you that all Zonko product's are banned from the school grounds and that the Forbidden Forest is not to be entered under any circumstances." He looked pointedly at Harry and Ron, which was quite a feat since they were sitting at opposite ends of the table. "Also the Quidditch house cup will not be open this year." A huge groan echoed through the hall and the Weasley twins shouted over the racket.

"What?-" One of them started.

"-Are you crazy?-" The second twin carried on

"-No Quidditch?" The first finished.

It was impossible to tell them apart so Dumbledore didn't even bother trying. He held his hands for silence. "No Mr. Weasley and Mr. Weasley I'm not crazy and instead of quidditch, this year Hogwarts will play host to the Tri-wizard tournament. In this tournament each of the three best school in Europe will come together and elect one champion per school, then said champions will go through three dangerous and daunting tasks to reach the Tri-wizard cup. The champion to grab the cup first will win a 1,000 galleon prize and ever-lasting glory."

The students went back to chatting amongst themselves. Ron made his way down the table to Harry and grinned, seemingly forgetting the first two encounters. "Cor, everlasting glory sounds pretty good don't it mate?"

Harry looked up from his book. Ron frowned. "Why are you reading when you don't have to?" The green head asked, clenching his fists. Harry got up in case it came to blows again.

"Because I had a change of heart over the summer and decided to try at school and not be a slouch since we only get to go to school and grab the grades once." Harry replied. "And I'm not sure if you remember but you and I aren't friends at the moment. I seem to remember you calling my friends 'bitches'." The students around them took notice of the conversation. At the staff table Dumbledore was frowning. This wasn't what he had planned. But neither had he planned for the youngest male Weasley's idiocy.

Ron flushed. "They are. Two were snakes, one was a dumb Hufflepuff, Loony Lovegood? Are you insane? And what on earth are you sitting with Neville for?" The students that hadn't gotten the 'I'm a tomato' shirt now understood and began chuckling amongst themselves pointing it out to their friends.

"Two were Daphne and Tracey, one was Susan; whose aunt is the head of the DMLE and a good friend, Luna Lovegood is also a friend who has taken more than enough crap from people and Neville... because he is a friend." Harry replied forcefully, trying to get his point across. He spoke a little louder. "It doesn't matter what house you're in, we are all human aren't we? Slytherin is ambitious, not evil; Hufflepuff is loyal, not stupid; Ravenclaw is clever and Gryffindor brave. Together the four houses complete eachother."

Ron was shaking his head. "The snakes are evil Harry can't you see that? You-Know-Who is the reason you have no family." Hermione got up and joined the small crowd of watchers.

Harry became angry, but tried to keep calm appearance. "Peter Pettigrew, who was a Gryffindor, sold my parents to Voldemort." Several students squeaked at the name. "If it wasn't for the Gryffindor Peter Pettigrew my family would still be here. Anyone can be bad or good... it just depends on where your heart is." Harry walked back to his seat.

Ron didn't have a come back so he stomped off and out've the Great Hall. Quite a few students were nodding with Harry's words about the four houses, most weren't bothered about the house; only Slytherin truly cared about inter-house relationships and was bent of destroying them.

Hermione watched Harry as she thought about his words. Anyone could tell he was inwardly fuming with Ronald's insensitive words but was trying his hardest to keep calm. Ron, just that name made her feel ill now; he had said he owned her. She shuddered. Ron's true colours were flying high now; he was more or less Malfoy without the money and bigotry. Maybe with the bigotry just had it supressed

Harry on the other hand was the opposite, though she would have to talk to him about his arrogance on the train ride but she assumed it was because of being around Sirius for a while... Sirius was definitely not a good influence on anyone.

She wondered about the Weasley twins and how they would react to the newest Marauders. They'd proabably fall to their knee's and chant. "We're not worthy!" she outwardly giggled at the thought; a few people around her looked at her funnily, not that she cared.

She walked back over to Harry and sat down next to him. She placed a hand on his back. "It's okay Harry; you know Ron's insensitive." He nodded.

He sighed. "I know... it's just hard... 2 months ago he was my best friend and now I find that he's stolen from me, is really a arrogant sod and Ginny... where to begin? I think that Dumbledore told her about the former marriage conract she had with me; hence why she has become more confident around me." His hand travelled through his hair. "Ah well... I lose Ron I gain a lot more." He still didn't seem happy.

Hermione tried to take his mind off everything. "Where can we rest tonight? I hardly think Daphne and Tracey will have a good time in Slytherin now; we're going to have to find somwhere." She wondered. "Can you talk to Hogwarts today?"

"Not sure." He admitted. "I was told it was a sentient being just not how to contact it. I'll ask Dobby to find somewhere for the night. Dobby!" The elf appeared in the middle of the Great Hall. He spoke quietly with the elf. "Do you know anywhere where me and..." He thought quickly. "six other's can sleep for the night? Or maybe talk to Hogwarts?"

Dobby looked thoughtful, before answering just as quietly. "Dobby is knowing where yous can be sleeping. But Dobby is not knowing how you is being able to speak to Hogwarts."

Hermione smiled at the eager elf. "Thanks a lot Dobby, can you show us later?" The elf nodded and popped away. Some teachers, and quite a few more students, were looking on at Harry and Hermione as if to say 'what was that?'.

Dumbledore stood. "Prefects please show the first years to their common rooms; everyone else, I bid you a goodnight." The students stood, as one, and made to leave the hall. Harry looked around for his new group of friends and motioned for them to hold back and let all the other students go first.

The new group made up of all four houses joined together after the last few students made their way out've the hall. They recieved odd looks from the remaining students; not that they cared. Daphne asked the question. "Why did you hold us back?"

Harry smiled, causing the blond girl to blush. "Dobby!" A crack and the elf appeared in front of them. "Can you take us to that room you mentioned?"

Dobby nodded eagerly and replied. "Harry Potter sir and the misses can be holding a part of Dobby and Dobby can be apparating yous to the Come and Go room." Harry and the others exchanged glances but did as the elf asked.

An echoing crack later and the Great Hall was empty, aside for the teachers.

On the seventh floor, opposite the tapestry of Barnabas the Barmy a group of six humans and an elf appeared. The humans let go of the elf, who had happily apparated them to this location, and began looking around for this fabled room. Not seeing it, Hermione politely questioned Dobby. "Where is this Come and Go room, Dobby?" She asked kindly to the little elf.

Dobby chuckled; a truly odd sound coming from a house-elf. "You is standing in fronts of it miss Grangey." Hermione checked around again and shook her head. "You is not finding it unless you is really needing something. You's be needing to be thinking about what you is needing and walk past the room three times. For example: Needing to find sleeping room, need to find sleeping room, needing to find sleeping room. Repeat in your heads and you is getting the room to give yous beds' and rooms'."

Harry nodded and began walking silently chanting the same words Dobby had used. True to Dobby's word, a door appeared on Harry's third pass. Dobby smiled when a door appeared from the apparent wall. Harry noticed the door, as did the others, and walked towards it. He opened the door to find a room similar the the Gryffindor common room with the dorms in the correct places.

Harry yawned. "G'night all, I'm off to bed."

Hermione grinned and took his arm, leading him to the dorms. "Let's all get some sleep." The others followed their example and left to go to sleep, leaving a particular blond-haired, blue-eyed girl to think.

Daphne looked on at the pair that were making their way to the dorms and sighed. She was envious of Hermione's catch; she only wished she had taken notice of Harry sooner and she might've had a chance with him. Now she would have to go and become Malfoy's wife, she shuddered at the thought. Unless Harry allowed her to take the name Potter and become a member of his family; or, since he had more than one lordship, become his second wife.

She didn't like any of her options but the ones with Harry were definitely better in her mind. The one's with Malfoy just made her want to puke. She moved the dorms and went to bed, hoping that Harry could help her.

Upstairs Harry and Hermione were talking about the same topic Daphne was contemplating in her bed. "What do you think Hermione?" Harry had brought the topic up and was discussing it with his wife, in their bed.

Hermione lifted her head from his chest to rest her chin over his heart. "I don't want anyone to suffer the fate of being Malfoy's wife; and she really seems to like you." She replied half-jokingly, half-serious.

"I know; we talked about what I can do since I'm technically Lord Potter now. She brought up something along the line of. ' I revoke my name and take yours.' But when we were talking to her in the compartment we talked about her feelings."

"And?" Hermione asked gently.

"She likes me... and if I didn't already love you, I would have given her a chance." Hermione looked sad, some of the spark from her chocolate-hued eyes left. "Hey don't be sad dear." His hand moved to caress her fair cheek, a thumb began moving tenderly backa nd forth. "I love you with all my heart 'Mione and I wouldn't swap you for the world. I could feel her emotions when I talked with her. Ranging from love and lust to scared and upset. We do need to do something but now isn't the time; let's rest." Hermione smiled and lowered the side of her head back onto his chest, the rythem of his heartbeat slowly lulling her to sleep.

(A/N) Damn... the hits have gone up nearly 7,000 since my last update...blimey. 27,000 people. Just shy of 100 reviews it hasn't been 2 weeks. Sooo happy!

Okay so... this chapter was... I'm not sure what words describe it.

READ

To all those against Harry/ multi wife. I was thinking of making a seperate story, based loosely on this one, with HP/DG, but thought that I could update faster on both stories if I just added it to this one. If it does become HP/HG/DG which I'm not sure about yet (This is mostly a on-the-spot story) it's only because I want to focus on one story and not divide my attention between two; slowing down the updates. So sorry to any haters.

Again the Tri-wizard for Harry will consist of the first task... because I like the idea of pranking a dragon (yeah i got ideas muahaha – why don't you give me some of yours? I'll use them). He won't do the rest but will become friend's with the other champions... as long as 'Vicky' doesn't hit on Hermione.
