james's ramblings and Hogwarts.

James apperated back to Griffins Nest in Rome. He couldn't believe his sisters almost told his son about them he thought as he walked over to the liquor cabinet and poured himself a glass of scotch on the rocks. (A/N: scotch with ice.) James drank his drink slowly and turned to the old family painting on top of the fireplace. It was finished two weeks after his sons first birthday. He remembered that day. Lily and him could not get Harry to calm down enough to be painted.

James sighed. It's been fifteen years since he last saw his son and fifteen years that his son never had a loving caring family. Except for Sirius, but Sirius was dead. His best friend was dead.

'Soon,' James thought.

Soon Harry will have a family and soon Harry will know that his father was alive, and he'll have questions. James complained to his mind.

He'll ask if Lily survived. How can I tell him? I mean ...she's in a coma upstairs, he'll never understand why we can't wake her.

James glared at the painting and throws his scotch into the fire.

"DAMN YOU, TOM RIDDLE. DAMN YOU TO HELL!" James screamed out loud.

James turned quickly, walked out of the room and walked into Lily's. He watched as she slept in her coma state.

'Soon' he thought. 'Soon I'll have my family again and soon Tom you will find out what it is like to betray your master and his family.'

August went by as quickly as it came, and today was the day Harry goes back to Hogwarts. Petunia drove Harry to King's cross and kicked him out of the car as quickly as she could and with that she drove away. Harry looked around the train station and grabbed a trolley and made his way to platform nine and three quarters.

"Harry!"

Harry turned around when he heard a girl scream his name. Harry smiled, it was Hermione.

His lovely best 'girl' friend Hermione in all her glory she strolled up to him and evoked Harry into a hug.

"What's up" Harry manage to say, as he looked over Hermione noticing the very nice changes in her. Like her height, which turned out to be five' five and her hair, which was straighter and the clothing, which was very nice. Since today she was wearing a tight purple spaghetti tank top and baggy jeans which graced her form well.

"Hello, earth to Harry." Hermione said with a giggle, when she saw Harry was staring at her.

Harry looked up. "Yes"

"Jeez, get off your hormones and help me push my trolley to the platform." Hermione said with a slight smile.

Harry blushed as he grabbed her stuff and loaded it onto his and made their way onto the platform. After they did that, Harry and Hermione got a compartment and met up with Ron, Dean, Seamus, Neville, and Luna. They talked on how their summer was and Harry explained who the new DADA teachers were.

The train ride was uneventful from there on. Except for Malfoy gracing their presents, but thanks to Hermione, Malfoy looked lovely as a ferret again. The hours went by and the train finally arrived at the school. Malfoy was changed back to human and the gang made their way to the Gryffindor tables as McGonagall made her way up the aisle with the first years. Then, the sorting hat began its song:

"A thousand years ago, it came to be. Hogwarts was built for the students needs. As each founder named their house each had their own reason to be singled out.

Give me the brave and noble, called Gryffindor. Studious and smart are mine cried Ravenclaw. To declare the true and loyal, named Hufflepuff. I demand the pure and cunning, hissed Slytherin. Each house named and determined.

Centuries later it came to be. Two people wanted the same thing. One Gryffindor, one Slytherin. Gryffindor became the leader in world domination. For Slytherin was his follower and served his master well. But one mistake there was. Power overcame friendship.

The Slytherin killed the Gryffindor and started on his family as well. His power raised and as today it still does. For soon the final fight will begin. For the Gryffindors last children will rise again and together they shall win."

The Great Hall was still, no one was sure what to do. Then, McGonagall called the names.

"Raven, Amber" A girl with long brown hair skipped to the hat.

"Ravenclaw"

As each student went Harry noticed that the first year class was smaller than normal. Maybe about five to ten new students pure a table.

Then the last student went, which turned out to be a Slytherin.

Dumbledore stood up to do his speech. "This year we are gathered here tonight to welcome the old and the new. Just a few reminders the forbidden forest is out of bounds to all students and no we are not calling the forbidden forest, 'the forest of happy and nasty things'." Dumbledore said while glancing at the three new girls at the staff table. "Secondly, may I welcome three new teachers that are teaching DADA."

The three girls stood up.

"Ms. Darla Mathews" the girl with long black hair on the right raised her hand and winked at Harry. He blushed. Dumbledore smiled.

"Ms. Audrey Mathews." The middle girl raised her hand and waved at Harry too. "Lastly, Ms. Sirena Mathews." The last girl raised her hand and blew a kiss at Harry. Harry rolled his eyes and crouched down in his seat. Each student noticed the girls and Harry.

Dumbledore smiled again at this. "What goes on between Mr. Potter and the new DADA's are their business, children."

Harry glared at Dumbledore, just as each of the DADA teachers did the same.

Siren was the one that spoke up first." Dumbledore that was uncalled for." She spoke calmly and quickly. Darla then took up from Sirena. "Yah, we'll not robbing the cradle. He's our ..." Audrey stopped Darla and screamed out neighbor.

Each girl had fury in their eyes and looked ready to attack. Dumbledore had a twinkle in his eyes. "I know girls, I was joking. You do know that I do that. Now everyone," Dumbledore turned to the students. "Tuck into your dinners and good night."

Then Dumbledore and the girls left the Great Hall.
