It was 11:30 when I met with Professor Snape in his office. After donning my true invisibility cloak, the Potions Master and I made our way to the empty Great Hall and closed the door.
The older Slytherin put up notice me not charms and privacy wards as I removed my cloak and stood in the center of the Hogwarts crest. Preparing to do what Salazar told me. He nodded at me when he was finished.
"I, Harry James Potter, as the True Heir of Godric Gryffindor claim Hogwarts in the name of the Founder." I began, and Gryffindors seal lit up.
"I, Harry James Potter, as the True Heir of Helga Hufflepuff claim Hogwarts in the name of the Founder. I, Harry James Potter, as the True Heir of Rowena Ravenclaw claim Hogwarts in the name of the Founder. I, Harry James Potter, True Heir of Salazar Slytherin claim Hogwarts in the name of the Founder." I announced, and one by one each seal lit up until I was surrounded by the soft golden glow of the Founders magic, as it deemed me worthy of making my claims.
"I, Severus Snape, Potions Master and Head of Slytherin House have witnessed Harry James Potter, as the True Heir of Godric Gryffindor, Helga Hufflepuff, Rowena Ravenclaw, and Salazar Slytherin, claim Hogwarts in the name of the Founders, so mote it be."
I could feel the acceptance of the magic, and suddenly my mind was overloaded with information from the wards. I could also feel a connection to the school itself.
I could hear a feminine voice in my mind, and the voice told me that she was Hogwarts, and that she had waited for this moment since the moment I first entered the school at the start of first year.
I asked that she allow Dumbledore to keep the wards, but any bad decision he makes for the school and its students I could override.
I didn't want him to know that I know about my heritage. I want his to be oblivious of my true knowledge until there is nothing he can do about it.
I have the feeling that soon, he will be out of Hogwarts, and likely to be shunned by the Wizarding community as well.
It's only a matter of time before he is out of the picture and my allies and I can begin to heal our world from the destruction wrought by Albus Dumbledore.

The man once known as the Leader of the Light was having a bad day. Actually that would be putting it mildly.
Everything began the morning that all of the students, not including the Weasleys, had brought books to breakfast.
While it was not against school rules for students to have books with them during meals, with the exception of the Welcoming and Leaving Feasts, it was strange that all the students would happen to decide to study during breakfast on the same day.
Since all of the books appeared to be textbooks, the Professors let it slide. It was good to see the students study hard after all.
Then the report came from the teachers, whom all had strange questions thrown at them randomly.
"I was rather stumped when my third years asked if they would get to learn how to transform their chessboard into a room sized game." Minerva began.
"Oh, that's nothing. I had a class of 7th years wanting to know how to defend themselves against a baslisk!" Remus remarked.
"I had students wanting to know about your duel with Grindelwald." Filius finished.
The questions were one thing, but I started to get worried when I saw the flocks of owls coming and going in a pattern previously unseen before.
A week after the first odd event I woke up to the owl ward going off in my office. I got up, expecting it to be the newspaper. Instead over a dozen owls flew in with howlers.
I burned the pile before they had a chance to open. I looked out the open window in horror as wave after wave of owls appeared on the horizon, all carrying the evil red envelopes.
So many were arriving that I had to put up a ward against them.
At breakfast I asked my staff if they were having any problems with their mail. All answered in the negative.
As the meal went on the doors to the Great Hall burst open. Lucius Malfoy and Amelia Bones entered the Great Hall together, which was strange because I had always thought that she hated him due to the fact that he is a Death Eater. There were a couple of aurors behind them that I did not have control of.
The group strode purposefully up the middle aisle until they stood in front of me.
"Due to some overwhelming evidence of incompetence in the handling of the school during your time as Headmaster, the Board of Governors has decided to hereby relieve you of your position. The Position shall then be given to Deputy Headmistress McGonagall should she accept." She stood up.
"I would like to decline the position, but thank the Board for their trust. I would like to stay as Deputy Headmistress so that I could help the next Headmaster or Mistress." The Head of Gryffindor stated.
"Then the next in line as Headmaster will be Professor Snape should he agree." My trusted spy stands, much to the dismay of many of the students.
"I will humbly accept the position of Headmaster." He replied, as many of my beloved Gryffindors booed the Potions Master and the Slytherins clapped politely.
"Due to some overwhelming evidence of abuse, neglect and turning students into Dark Lords, Albus Dumbledore you are hereby arrested."
"Whatever do you mean Madam?" I asked, believing that surely me schemes of fame and power have not become public knowledge.
"You are charged with the neglect of one Tom Riddle, also known as You-Know-Who. Murder of James and Lily Potter, abandonment of Harry James Potter, and multiple counts of endangering the students of Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Aurors, arrest him." The Head of the DMLE finished.
I couldn't believe this was happening.

Draco, Daphne and I watched in satisfaction as Dumbledore paled as the charges were read to him.
I had the feeling that the old coot would not allow himself to be arrested so I told the castle to prevent him from leaving.
"Ah. You seem to be under the impression that I would be going quietly." He then called Fawkes and tried to grab him to apparate but failed.
"What happened? I have never failed to use Fawkes to apparate before!" The old man panicked. I stood up, wanting to watch his face when he realizes that all of his plans for me have failed.
"You failed to run away because Hogwarts won't allow you to go unpunished for all the crimes you committed."
"Harry my boy what do you mean?"
"Actually you would have to address me as Lord Potter or Lord Hogwarts." His face paled further at the implications.
"Don't you see that everything I've done is for the Greater Good? Even your betrothed to Miss Weasley..."
"Which was an illegal contract and has been since been voided."
"Illegal contract Lord Potter?" Madam Bones asked. I nodded and told her about my trip to Gringotts with Sirius where we learned of the contract written up by Dumbledore, without my parents or godfathers permission, and after my parents had died so that they couldn't say anything even if they would have wanted to.
I then handed her a copy of the void contract so she could read it herself.
I looked up to see the two redheaded Gryffindors glaring at me. A jealous glare by one Ronald Weasley, probably mostly due to my now known status. There was also a rage filled glare from Weaselette, due to her anger at finding out that the marriage contract she had been obsessed with is in fact illegal.
I decided to drive the point further.
"I also have been properly betrothed, the contract agreed to and signed by both my Godafther and her parents. Both my betrothed and I are quite happy with the arrangement. Here is a copy if you wish to authenticate."
"Thank you Lord Potter but I don't think that..." Madam Bones was interrupted by a loud voice that came from the Gryffindor table.
"Don't you see? These are all lies! You don't really have a marriage contract do you Harry? I would know if my parents had signed one with you."
"I told you before Weasley, I never have been nor will I ever be with you. I am happily betrothed to my Girlfriend, and she will become my wife."
"Oh yeah Potter? And who is your girlfriend?" Boy Weasley loudly asked.
"I am." Daphne stated as she stood up next to me. I took her hand in mine.
"NO! YOU BELONG TO ME HARRY POTTER! I WON'T LET SOME SLYTHERIN SLUT STEAL YOU FROM ME! I WILL BE LADY POTTER AND LADY HOGWARTS!"
She was suddenly silenced as Madam Bones requested my contract with Daphne. She gave it a once-over and declared it a true and legal marriage contract.
By the time the happened the Headmaster had been carted away by the aurors, nobody really noticing the the old man was gone. Everyone had been to busy watching me win against the Weasleys.
Our guests left after that and peace was enforced by our new Headmaster.
Things couldn't get better.
