Chapter Seventeen:

The entrance hall of the castle looked the same as it always had, but a lingering scent floated about. Hannah paused and asked, "What's that smell?"

"Dragonfire," I answer as Bahamut chuckled, "They used dragonfire to clean up the castle,"

Hermione gave me a look of confusion, "Wouldn't that burn everything?"

"No," I answer as I headed towards the great hall, "Dragons can control what their fire burns. It is a rather amazing trait, no?" They nod causing me to grin, "However that control comes with time. The same could be said for their ability to change their sizes. I estimate that four diffrent types of dragonfire was used,"

Bahamut used my senses and hummed, "A water dragon, a nature dragon, a high level fire dragon, and...interesting."

"What is it Bah?" I ask as I pause.

"One of them seems to have a high level storm dragon," Bahamut murmured to my shock, "It will be interesting to how they react to me,"

"We shall see my friend," I felt a smirk weave itself onto my face as I walk to the door and place a hand on it before turning my head towards my Nakama, "Let's have some fun shall we?"

They grinned at me and I shook my head as I pushed the door open. I felt the air around me change as I walked inside. Bahamut's presence surrounded me like the warmth of an embrace. My eyes went to the head table and I had to keep my mouth from dropping open in shock. Sitting in front of the Hufflepuff table, The woman from the toy store stared at me. Sitting in front of the Ravenclaw table, The woman from the bookstore. Sitting in front of the Slytherin table, the man from the apothecary. I shook it off as four pairs of eyes stared at me in shock as I took a moment to examine them. The woman from the toy store had honey colored hair and eyes the color of obsidian though her eyes shone with warmth. The woman I had encountered in the bookstore had deep raven black hair with streaks of white. Her eyes were a deep silvery blue that held mysteries and secrets. The man from the apothecary had dark brown hair with silver streaks. His eyes were a bright emerald with small flecks of grey. In front of the Gryffindor table, the last of the four sat. His hair was a deep red and his eyes a deep gold. All three radiated power much like the older pirates, but it seemed tempered like Pop's. The woman from the toy store radiated an aura much like Makino's, but it seemed a bit more...homely? The woman from the bookstore radiated a mystic aura much like Luna does only she doesn't have the same Wanderer feel about her. The man from the apothecary held a careful, yet playful aura. The last man radiated the same aura as Luffy only with a bit more sense and a bit more calm. I hum as Bahamut muttered, "It seems they remember me."

I chuckle softly before turning away from the tables and looking at my Nakama. I spoke softly, yet with power, "I want each of you to be on your best behaviour tonight...well at least until the fun starts," All of them grin, "Now get your asses to your tables and Fea Child," She looked at me, "If you are bothered tonight, just use your mirror and I'll come."

She nodded and I gave her a kind smile. I turn and head for my table with a lazy posture even as I glare at Dumbledore. I felt a severe amount of amusement upon seeing him not in his golden throne, but on a rather plain looking chair next to Flitwick. Hermione, Neville, and the twins follow just a few steps behind me as I gave a lazy salute to professor McGonagall. She smiled at me and I nodded at her before taking a graceful seat. Hermione took a seat on my left with Fred on her left. George took a seat on my right with Neville on his right. We watch as the other students file in while giving us curious looks, but I ignored it until I scented something in the air. I look up and found an elegant looking green dragon with silver markings to make it look like water. It must be the water dragon. The dragons silver eyes lock onto me and I smirk up at her as Bahamut murmured, "Ah she must be a silver river dragon."

Upon hearing that, I hum as and stared into the dragons eyes. They narrowed slightly as I allow my eyes to take on a draconic appearance. She seemed to recoil slightly before giving me a look of curiosity. I watched in fascination as she disappeared from sight and asked, "How did she do that Bah?"

"The older a dragon gets the more tricks it learns," He reminded me with a chuckle causing me to blush slightly at not remembering, "She just performed a rather unique ability of older river dragons. It allowed her to become one with the water in the air," He hummed lightly in my mind, "I believe the dragons here must be around 1200 years old to have learned that trick. After all, it takes until a dragon reaches the age of 1190 to gain that ability due to needing a complete mastery and understanding of the element they are born from,"

"Can I learn it?" I could already see the benefits of learning it.

"Perhaps, but it will take a lot of time," He warned me causing me to grin.

"I'm always up for a challenge," I remind him causing him to chuckle.

He fell silent as the other students fully file in and take their seats. I watched with the others as newest additions to the school were brought into the Great Hall. A murmur swept through the gathered students about which would now become a member of their house, but I ignore it as I focus on the group. Each held the potential to become great, but among them three stood a part from it all. All three wore the new uniform and seemed indifferent to everyone around them. One however seemed to have a leader-like air about him while the other two seemed content to follow him. All three had black hair though all three had a colored tint added to their hair. The leader-like one had a sea green tint. The sole girl had a bright gold tint. The other boy of the trio had a grey, almost deathly tint to his hair. I felt a shock go through me as their scents wafted over to me. The leader held the scent of the ocean. The girl held the scent of storms and the very sky. The other boy held the scent of death. Demi-gods! Tundra rumbled in my mind as we stared at the trio that stood close together, "Look at the girls head."

I did as she asked and noticed that it was hard to focus on the center of it. I narrowed my eyes and felt them widen as I spotted the silver circlet. I mutter, "Shit she's one of Artemis's hunters...what happened to Zoe?"

"I dunno, but it must have been bad for her to be the lieutenant," Tundra murmured causing me to feel bad for not being there since Zoe had been like an older sister to me when I had traveled with Artemis during my first life, "We need to watch out because those three will probably tell the gods everything,"

I nodded and looked to the hat. It didn't sing this year, but instead it spoke, "This year shall be one to remember. The daughter of four has returned now the daughter of six. The world shall blend with one not it's own as the sea tries to reclaim it's own. The tournament of the forgotten shall rise once more as four champions take the plunge. One of air, one of water, one of fire, and one of freedom. The champion of freedom shall be plunged into the tournament with no want simply because of the idiocy of two men..."

The hall was silent as we tried to absorb the information. I grimace upon hearing the last lines and growl softly. Mother fucking bitch! I'm going to be dragged into the fucking tournament now matter what. My eyes narrow slightly as the three demi's tense and drop into a slight battle stance. I sigh as the names were read out, but listened as Professor McGonagall called out, "Di Angelo, Nico!"

The one that smelt of death went up. I could tell the three had been de-aged as well by the scent of ichor and magic surrounding them. The boy sat under the hat for a long time before it called out, "RAVENCLAW!"

Cheers erupted from the ravens and I gave Luna a look. She smiled serenely as the boy walked over and sat down next to her. She had sat down where the first years usually sat, so it wasn't too odd. I watched as she welcomed him and turned back to the sorting. McGonagall soon called out, "Grace, Thalia!"

The one that smelt of sky and storms sat down on the stool. The hat took as long a time with her as it did the boy before finally calling out, "GRYFFINDOR!"

I clapped softly and stood up to welcome her. I held out my hand and smirked as she gasped the moment she took it. My magic brushed against her playful as if to welcome home a family member and I leaned forward brush my lips against her knuckles while murmuring, "Welcome to the lions den my dear. Perhaps we can speak after this is all over with those two friends of yours."

"Yeah," She muttered weakly causing me to smirk at the surprise radiating her.

"Good," I told her before retaking my seat.

She slowly snapped out of it and walked to her own while sending searching glances towards me. I gave her a small wave just as McGonagall called out, "Jackson, Percy!"

I watched with interest as it took almost an hour for the hat to sort the boy. He must have many traits that seem to echo one house or the other. Finally, the hat cried, "GRYFFINDOR!"

I smirk and watch as the boy made his way over to the table. He looked between Thalia and I, but seemed to decided that it was better left unspoken for now. I felt amusement rise in me as I manage to snag a golden Drachma from the boy as he past me. I moved the coin around in my hand before shoving into one of my white jacket pockets. I would use it later to contact Hestia. I just hoped her reaction to me remembering things wouldn't be too bad. I could almost imagine the disappointed look on her face for not contacting her soon and winced at it. I hated disappointing her because she had always been my role model for the most part. I closed my eyes and only opened them when I heard people stand. I look to see that it was the Founders and sat straighter. The one to speak was the one that sat in front of the Slytherin house banner, "Welcome all of you! My name is Salazar Slytherin!"

Whispers broke out throughout the area causing me to growl in annoyance. Deciding to stop this shit before it got out of hand, I held my palm up towards the ceiling and whispered, "Carmina!" Sparks shot out of my hand and exploded into the sky causing the room to fall silent as I stood up, "I know it's surprising, but for the love of the Fates shut up!" I gave the hall a glare that caused many to flinch, "We want to find out what's going on, so be quiet and respectful," I watched as many looked down sheepish, "Honestly if these are the founder, then you are making yourselves look like idiots. We may be children," You guys, but not my Nakama, "But now is the time to act like proud wizards and witches. Like we're meant to learn under these amazing people," I turn to the founders and bowed to them, "I would like to offer an apology for the actions of my fellows. It is a shock for all of us to see you standing here."

"It is alright young one," The one in front of the badgers said causing me to nod and sit down, "Now my name is Helga Hufflepuff,"

"I am Rowena Ravenclaw," The one in front of the ravens spoke in a whispery voice.

"AND I'M GODRIC GRYFFINDOR!" The one in front of the lions practically roared.

Oh Luffy would just love this fucker. I wonder if I should introduce them sometime. I shook those thoughts from my head as Slytherin spoke, "We are indeed the founders of this school," A glare directed towards the crowd silenced them, "We are known as Dragon riders and bonded with our dear partners a year before we constructed this school," Awe filled gasps ran through the room, but Slytherin continued, "We left because our children needed to take over and lead this world to light."

"You may think that Sal was all about blood purity and all that crap," Gryffindor said with a smirk, "WRONG!" The hall jumped causing me to chuckle and plan to introduce him to my brothers, "It was actually our grandson that started that crap,"

"Wait!" Ronald Weasley interrupted, "Are you saying that you're related to that slimy snake," He pointed at Slytherin, "How can someone-"

"I'm not related to Sal through our children marrying," Gryffindor informed the red haired troll as the founders looked at the boy with disapproval, "We married each other,"

I felt a snicker build and decided to introduce those two to Marco. Maybe the blonde can get their help to keep Ace outta his emo corner. I turn back to the conversation as most stared at the founders slack jawed. Helga spoke up, "Now isn't the time for this boys," She glared at the two founders as I made the decision to introduce her to Mama Makino and Boa, "We need to get onto why we decided to come back," Her eyes narrowed at the two, "Unless you want me to transfigure you into a pair of jackalopes again."

I felt my eyes widen as I decide that I love that woman. The two male founders immediately backed away from her and shivered while agreeing, "Yes Helga. We'll be good."

She gave them a sweet smile as I decided to keep Mother away from her. They would probably get along like a house on fire. I shiver at the very thought and vowed to never let them meet. I tuned back into the real world as Helga spoke, "Now, we're here to inform you that your former headmaster," She shot an acidic glare at Dumbledore causing my respect for her to go up, "Has done many things that are not right. In order to protect our students, it's time for us to teach once more. New classes have been added as have new teachers."

"Due to the newest ones not arriving yet," Rowena informed, "We have decided to put off classes for the next week to judge your progress in various subjects," Many grumble at that, "If we find that you aren't up to snuff with a majority of your year, you will be placed in the year that suits you," Cries of outrage echo through the hall, but were silenced as lightning boomed through the air, "The test shall begin in a day starting with the seventh years,"

Relief flooded off a majority of the school, but the sorry sods being tested soon cried anime waterfalls. I snickered as Godric slammed his hand on the table and shouted, "DINNER TIME! BRING OUT THE MEAT!"

Yup Luffy will love him. Food appeared on the tables and I felt my mouth water at the sight of various dishes. I quickly grab a bowl of ramen and dove in as my table mates stared at their food. My Nakama and I immediately began to eat, but stopped as cries of shock rang through the air. I snickered as everyone gained animal features. I made a mental note of the troll gaining donkey ears while Dumbledore gained ram horns. My ears twitched as I heard someone stand up in the direction of the staff table. I look up and found Professor Minnie giving me a look that shouted trouble. Her cat ears and tail twitched as she growled, "Kitsune Court front and center!"

Lazily, I stood up and made my way to the front with my Nakama following me. I heard whispers mostly directed towards me, but ignore it as Godric asked, "Mcgonagall what's going on?"

I noted he had lions ear and a lions tail. I also noted that each of the founders represented their house symbol except for Salazar. He had a pair of grey leopard ears and a slim leopard tail. I shook it off as Professor Minnie answered, "These students," She waved her hand at us causing me to wave much to the amusement of those around me, "Happen to be a prankster group known as the Kitsune Court. This is most likely they're doing," She turned to me and held out her hand, "Wand."

I handed her my wand while yawning, "Is this completely necessary? I've been gone for awhile. Mia and the others have been tutoring me, but do you really think my Nakama and I could do this?"

"Yes I do Miss Potter," I gave her a glare, "Miss Ashferd?" I nodded and she looked over my wand and went over the spells used on it, "Interesting. You seem to only have a mass tickling charm on this wand,"

I shrug as I got thrown dirty looks, "Anything to win a fight."

She went down the line and came up empty until she reached Draco. Draco paled as she asked, "Mr. Malfoy why do you have a mass gender switching spell as the last spell you used?"

Draco struggled to come up with a reply as my Nakama turned to him with anger. Seeing their anger, he took off causing my Nakama to chase him. I didn't move as I watched the merry little chase through the great hall. I blink and turn as Salazar asked, "Aren't you going to chase after your little friend?"

"No," I answer with a smirk, "He deserves it even if I didn't really mind,"

"You didn't mind being turned into the opposite gender?" Helga asked causing me to nod.

"I have an odd power of being able to change my gender after coming into contact with two odd men," I shudder at remembering the two, "It's an odd ability that I don't touch often, but I have at some point in time,"

"Interesting," Salazar comments as Hermione began to throw fireballs at a running Draco, "Is that girl a Veela?"

"No, but she loves fire when she pissed," I reply, "It's probably a potion or something,"

"What is?" Rowena asked as we watched Susan pull out a mallet, "Is he going to be okay?"

"He'll be fine," I answer the second question before saying, "The thing that caused us all to gain animal parts," I gesture to my ears and tail, "I tasted something weird while I was eating, but I pushed it off as something like calming potion,"

I sigh upon hearing Draco yelp and pulled out my wand. Kiyo gave me a raised eyebrow, "Kai? Whatcha doing?"

I didn't answer her as I sent a freezing spell at all of them. They froze and I say, "I know your pissed off at Draco, but leave it for now," They grumble as Draco looked at me in relief, "You can play around with him during training tomorrow," He looked at me in horror as the others grinned, "I'm going to release the spell and you guys are going back to your seats," I did so and they headed to their seats before I turned to the head table, "I apologize for anything they did to annoy you. They're usually much better behaved," I heard shouts of denial and snort before heading back to my seat, "Good Doggies."

I dodge Hermione's swipe as I took my seat. I ignored the looks and soon the feast started again.

Short I know, but I wanted to get back into the swing of things
