Harry's first week as a third year wand waving wizard was full of explaining his unique bonds with Hermione, Luna and Ginny. While Ginny and Luna were technically a year younger then Hermione and Harry, they were placed in the same year to motivate each other and for the professors to keep an eye on them if they did something stupid or if they got into trouble.
Harry was jus glad that his friend Damian was back at school. Of all his friends, Harry just had missed Damian the most. Because they were the same age and both boys, they bonded quickly with each other in their first year as seven year old kids.
Now, Damian had to compete with Hermione, Luna and Ginny for Harry's attention. And although he did okay, Damian just didn't have a chance to get Harry alone for some boys exclusive fun.
Either Ginny, Luna or Hermione would be around them, making it very hard to talk with each other.

Bianca also had several problems with the new witches. While she was very friendly and could challenge Hermione at intellectual level, she didn't stand a chance against Luna or Ginny. Luna was one of those students you had to see be believe. She sometimes seemed to float around, while she was humming and making all sorts of sounds.
Ginny was the one that both Damian and Bianca had to look out for. Just like Harry, Ginny was an excellent flyer, and with the first quidditch try-outs of the school year, Ginny became one of the reserve chasers, while she also could double as a reserve seeker.

Now the first lesson of the year was that of PE. In the past, Professor Caradoc Samual had pushed the students through several forms of unarmed combat, and conditioning training to make their bodies and magic stronger.
"At the end of next year, you'll be completing your OWL's" Said Professor Samual. "When you have taken your OWL's, you are no longer my problem, as you will not take this class ever again"
Whispers filled the hall as the students as the professor turned to a table filled with bracelets.
"Each one of you will find their own way in this life, but for some of you that life is filled with danger. Therefore, we'll work with these bracelets. Please come forward and place one on your right wrist." The students followed the Professor without questions and all received a bracelet that they placed on their right wrist.

"Right, now that we all have them, I wand you to try to channel some of your magic in these bracelets" Said the Professor, and the class started to reconnect with their magic after a long summer holiday. Harry was explaining how to connect and guide magic to Luna, Ginny and Hermione. "You start with the feeling of casting, that subtle feeling you get when you want to cast a spell." Harry said as Luna and Hermione started to feel. Ginny looked at Harry and as Harry started to teach Ginny to connect with her magic, a shout came from the other end of the hall. Bianca had pushed enough magic in her bracelet that the bracelet had changed form. Instead, Bianca was now holding a sword about three feet long.

"Well done, Miss Tuhould. Take one gold coin for being the first one to reach the first stage." Said the Professor as he placed a small coin in Bianca's hand. "You see what this bracelet does. It channels your magic, and creates a weapon you feel most familiar with. It is normal for boys to have guns or sword while for girls the bracelets can change in to bows or staffs. However, there are always exceptions" Said the professor as more and more students got a weapon in their hands. Damian got two guns and while he wanted to show of, Damian watched as Harry and his group of girls got weapons of their own. The first one was Hermione, who got a bo-staff in her hands. She was a bit shocked that she suddenly got the weapon, that she dropped it. The weapon vanished and returned to her bracelet. "Thanks to Miss Grangers demonstration, you need to focus to keep your weapon. Remember. Focus, Intent, Act." Said the professor as he looked at Hermione who tried again and recalled the bo-staff.

Luna was the next one to get a weapon. She got two actually. Both guns in her hand were one of a kind. One was a shiny white and the other a dark black. "Oh. I'll call you Ebony" Luna said to the black gun, before she turned to the shiny white one. "And I'll call you Ivory" Luna said in her dream like voice. Professor Samual wanted to respond, but was cut of as both Harry and Ginny got their weapons. Ginny's was a whip, that also had a small dagger hidden inside. Harry looked at his hand as his sword just stared back. "Something wrong, mister Potter? The Professor asked.
"I though I left this in my room" Said Harry as he showed the sword to Professor Samual. Caradoc looked at the sword. It's beautiful diamond inlayed handle held a long thin blade with a name carved in it. "Godric Gryffindor" Caradoc said softly.

"As in the sword of Gryffindor?" Asked Hermione, who was still holding her bo-staff. She looked over Harry's shoulder and saw that it was indeed the blade of Godric Gryffindor, one of the four founders of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
"Very well, now that we all have a weapon, we'll try to reach stage two. Having the weapon around you at all times. This means that you need to feel the weapon, how it lays in your hand, how the weight of it feels and the movements you can do with it. Therefor I want you all to spread out through the hall and start moving. And if anyone with a bow, crossbow or gun fires their weapon, I'll personally will kick you out of the school and in the storm outside." Said the professor with his voice very firm.

The class got a lecture about how to take care for their weapons before they were ordered to return the bracelets. While some protested, most students gave up the bracelets and their weapons vanished. Don't worry. At the end of the year you'll be able to call them on command." said Caradoc Samual as he stood before the class. "Right. Now we'll work on our magical muscles. Take the positions you were taught last year and focus. Built your magic up and try to get a push from your arms." The students all started to make the same movements while Caradoc Samual walked through the students, correcting movements. Harry was teaching Ginny, Luna and Harry the moves slowly, step by step.

"Okay class, who can tell me the five great missing treasures that are still lost in the magical world?" Asked Remus Lupin in their history lesson. Six hands went up in the air. Remus pointed ar Damian and he responded. "The staff of Merlin, Helga Hufflepuffs cup of healing, Rowena Ravenclaws Diadem, The Atlantean throne and the Ring of Arthur. There are some theories that the sword Excalibur might be a sixth treasure, but those are still doubtful"
"Correct. In your book you see many items that the magical world has created, lost and recovered. Some even went to the muggle side of the community. Luckily for us, our ministry was able to prevent the damage that could have been done if these items would have been used wrongly. For that we'll travel next week to the grand canyon, so you can see the damage that is still there, after the staff of Merlin was broken."

Hermione was studying the history book of the Grand Canyon in her room. While the muggles might believe that nature was responsible with years of running water through the canyon. Hermione now knew that the canyon was created around the thousand years ago, with the destruction of Merlin's staff. While Merlin might have been a powerful wizard, and trained under the great four of Hogwarts and later in his life served King Arthur, Merlin did not die in Great Britain but used advanced magic to transport him to a place where he could die and wouldn't hurt anyone when his magic would explode.
And explode it did. Merlin's magic was so great that it's explosion created the Grand Canyon. Sending thousands of ton of rubble across the landscape, a small portion of Merlin's magic remained at the bottom of the Grand Canyon, creating a river where rare magical creatures would come to visit. Muggles didn't know about this, and for good reason. If the muggles even knew what was hidden from them, they would go to war over the powers of a very small minority.

Hermione placed the book down on the desk in Harry's new room. Under orders of the headmistress and Harry's guardians, he and his girls were transported to the ground floor and got a larger room. It had a larger bed, large enough for all four of them and while Harry and the girls strongly denied that fact, the bed was large enough for three girls more. Harry had made it quite clear that there would be no more girls bonding to him. While the damage of Stephan Whiterspoon was repaired with the help of Ginny's, Luna's and Hermione's mind and soul Harry had drawn the line with those three.
Stephan's attack had severely damaged Harry's own soul, nearly killing both Harry and Ginny. Only the timely intervention of Luna, Hermione and the teachers prevented Harry's passing.

Smiling to the bed, Hermione could see both Luna and Ginny cuddling with Harry as he relaxed from a quidditch practise. While Harry still had a very good broom, Sirius Black of all people had bought Harry a new broom. The broom was thirteen miles per hour faster than the newest Firebolt in Britain. The Nightwind was plain black, with streaks of white and silver painted on the broom handle. Even Hermione, a person who had no love for the 'foolish' game of Quidditch had to admit that the broom looked amazing. Walking over to the bed, Hermione slowly joined in the group hug, and fell, just like the others asleep as she dreamed about amazing things with Harry, Ginny and Luna.

Hogwarts. September 8th 1993.
Dumbledore looked around for the first weekly meeting with his staff. It was always done after the students were off for the weekend and it gave the staff a good time to evaluate the children and the classes. "Very well Minerva, How are your Lions doing?" Asked Dumbledore. Minerva McGonagall looked at Dumbledore with raised eyes. Normally Dumbledore would do his pet snake first, Severus Snape.
"My students are concerned about the rumors that they are hearing. They told me that they are afraid to be sent to Azkaban, because you didn't listen to miss Granger. It seems that mister Weasley is missing miss Granger as his grades have fallen within the first week. If he does continue on this past, we'll have to let him do a year over" Said Minerva as she looked at Dumbledore's eyes.

"Okay. I'll speak with the young man. Filius, how are your students?" Asked Dumbledore, hoping to get Minerva a bit of his back, after he had tried to return the school papers to her. She was not amused. "My students are wondering why miss Lovegood has not made an apperance. I'll have to tell my students that the government threw both Miss Granger and Miss Lovegood in jail, because they were fighting for their friends rights." said Filius, his eyes holding hatred towards any who would hurt one of his Ravens. If he found out who hurt Miss Lovegood, he'd make sure that heads would roll.
"Very well. Severus, How are your students doing?" Asked Dumbledore, hoping not to look at Filius again. The little charms master could be very dangerous if he wanted to.

"My students are accepting the change badly" Said Snape. He looked with pure venom at Minerva, who had made a change in the point system. Now every student that got points or when points were removed, Minerva would double check and if need be restore the old score before she would have a word with the professor who gave or removed the points. That Snape was more busy with defending himself from Minerva's rage than teaching threw of his whole teaching plan.
"I see" said Dumbledore and looked at Pomona. "My students are just happy that nothing is going on. They look forward to a quiet year at Hogwarts" Said the Herbology teacher.

Dumbledore nodded before he looked at the new Defence Against The Dark Arts teacher. "What about you, Dawlish? How are the students reacting to an auror teaching the class?"
Dawlish, newly promoted auror sighed. It was a form of punishment that he had to sit out. Rufus Scrimgeour, his boss, had blamed him for the attach and escape of the wizard animagus Peter Pettigrew, and now the country was being searched by every auror on the force. Dawlish had been pulled back and placed at Hogwarts, where he would teach DADA.
"The students are very much behind their normal spells" Dawlish said. "I have to teach almost everyone of these kids the first four years, and prepare the fifth and seventh years to their OWL's and NEWT's."

Dumbledore nodded. He knew that the students were falling behind in the DADA course. It was one of his plans to have a badly prepared defence force, when he would finally show his true colours.
Nodding to the staff, he dismissed them, before he sat down again and looked at the phoenix he had trapped in a bond with him. "There is no escape now, Dorothy. You will be the beacon that will lead people to my open arms and call me their leader and savior."

Dumbledore never noticed the shimmer of somebody leaving his office. As the old man was mumbling to himself, Minerva McGonagall removed the disillusionment charm from herself as she stepped in her own room. She moved to a hidden spot of her office and took up a photo of a young couple with a baby, waving their arms.
"Ohw Merlin, what have I done?" She asked herself, as she looked at the photo of Lily and James Potter and baby Harry.

Yeah. The idea of the bracelets came from the series 'Witchblade'.
And you see Dumbledore's true colours. Here's one spoiler for you. WORLD DOMINATION.
