A/N: Thank you all for the reviews. Like always I liked them a lot and appreciate them highly.

Now after the last chapter I got a review from my friend. Naomi-chan203, later on, she told me in a Pm that Harry seemed too strong for a twelve/thirteen-year-old boy. So as a true writer I threw a temper tantrum starting to blame my computer for hitting the wrong keys and that it was my story. Now I do know that you don't believe that so in truth I hid under my desk because she scares the hell out of me. (But don't tell her that) So in this chapter, you will see my creativity of why it is that Harry is this strong. Naomi, as promised here, is your answer.

Harry Potter is not mine; this is a story from a fan.

(BSC 3 C13) C71. The fifth house.

Everyone was looking at the head table that was standing at the front of the great hall.

At the side of the table stood Minerva, she still had the sorting hat in her hands and was giving worried looks at her grandson. While she gave him a small smile she knew that it would not help him. Harry looked right through that smile of her and knew it was a fake one.

As her gaze went over to Albus she had a good feeling about what he was going to say. It was even more obviously if you looked at the head table. That was why she knew her little smile would have no effect on Harry.

Let's go back just a little bit as Albus was making his announcements.

"Your new History Professor shall be Professor Zeneria. She will be replacing Professor Binns. Professor Binns has decided to stop his teaching. As a ghost, he can no longer control the classroom like he used to. And finally, we have a new Professor, defense against the dark arts. This person is known by all of you. For those who haven't heard of her, it is Professor Weasley. Professor Molly Weasley" Albus said in the best grandfatherly voice he could master.

The entire great hall started to cheer and clap loudly as Molly Weasley stood behind the head table. Ronald Weasley and Draco Malfoy were among the loudest. Everyone knew what Harry had done to her daughter. It had been the conversation for the last couple of weeks, now because of that, they were happy she got the job because it would show Harry that he wasn't going to win.

Ginerva Molly Weasley had become a slave of the new Lord Potter. A slave he has appropriated by using the imperious curse on her father. That was what they had all read in the Daily Prophet. And they all knew that when it was written in the Prophet then it had to be true.

Harry who had tried to start a lawsuit, just so he could take Ginny, officially as his slave never happened. (It was something the friends wanted to do just so they could protect Ginny even more). The Lawsuit had been stopped by Fudge in every way possible. There wasn't any doubt that it was done with the help of one Albus Dumbledore. Both of them used every trick in the book just to delay the lawsuit as much as possible.

So at the moment, they saw Molly sitting at the head table, they knew that their beliefs had been spot on. Molly Weasley has been made Professor, Defense against the dark arts just so they could bug Harry in every way.

Ginny who had been sitting near Harry just looked at him with guilty eyes. Sure it had been her mother who had told the fake story to the Daily Prophet. It had been something she knew nothing about. But it still made her feel very guilty because Harry had done so much for her and this was something he didn't deserve. The moment she saw her mother sitting at the head table she wanted to do something but she didn't know what.

Susan who was sitting next to her could see the struggle in her eyes. After a moment she hung her head a little to her and whispered. "What is it" Maybe she had been a little harsh but she wanted to know.

Ginny was a little startled and looked at her with big eyes. "It's Harry, he has done so much for me and everybody hates him for it. I expected him to tear up the contract and send me back to my mother just so he wouldn't have to deal with all of it any longer. But every time I see him he just smiles and acts like nothing has changed. I hate my mother for it and I want to help him". She took a breath and laid her head in her hands. "I just don't know how" she whispered in frustration.

Inwardly Susan was smiling broadly but she didn't show it. Again she hung a little closer to Ginny and whispered. "You know… You could do….. And then you could….. So with that…. And say what…. So she would know".

As Ginny gazed into her eyes she started to smile. A little devilish smile that gave Susan Goosebumps, and she loved it.

Molly Weasley stood and walked around the head table. She was going to speak to the great hall and everyone knew that she was going to talk about her daughter.

At first, the hall started to erupt in to whisper, to suddenly become deadly silent. All eyes were now focused at Ginny who had also stood and was making her way to her mother on the stage. With big strides, she walked over to her mother her mind was focused and her hatred was flaring behind her eyes.

Everyone was expecting a tearful reunion of a mother with her daughter. She would jump into her mother's arms and they would live happily ever after. All this because the Daily Prophet had told them that Harry had taken her away.

The real story was never told and every time Harry wanted to do something he was prevented from doing it. So no one really knew what it was all about and just went with the Daily Prophet.

Molly kept her eyes on Ginny and started to open her arms wide.

Minerva who was still waiting with the sorting hat saw Ginny coming. The look in her eyes was full of hate and Minerva knew they were in for a ride. With a little Sonorus spell she raised the voice of Ginny. She didn't know what would happen but it could be a wild ride.

Ginny was still walking and gazed deeply into the eyes of her mother. Two steps from her mother Ginny stopped. "Master could you please stand here with me, " she said clearly and formally to Harry while she kept her eyes focused on Molly.

Those had been the first words that Ginny said while she stood in front of her mother just out of her reach.

Harry looked at it all but was very reluctance to get to his feet. Susan nodded and jerked her head that he had to go. Daphne poked him in his side so he would get up. With a lot of unwillingness and a stern look from Bella, he went over to the head table. He had a lot of fear in his body as he heard a lot of the students whispering about him. Most of them gave him accusing looks and were literally saying that he was a monster.

Harry didn't know what was going to happen or what Ginny was thinking. He knew that Susan had been whispering to her and that she had been the one to put Ginny on this path. Sure Susan would never do anything to harm him or humiliate him. But still, he would have like to have a heads up. With only a few steps to go, he came closer and closer to Ginny.

The moment he stood next to Ginny she gave him a little smile and dropped to her knees. With her head, she bowed very deeply and kissed his feet.

Harry stiffened at the touch and wanted to scream that she had to stop. But he did remember a lesson he got from Daphne and Neville and looked at them. The moment his eyes crossed with Neville he remembered the whole lesson. It was now that he knew what he had to do and kept his mouth shut and his back straight.

Ginny straighten up a little and immediately went back down and kissed his feet again. It was a custom slaves did by their master if they wanted something to be done. In his eyes, she could see that he didn't like it just like she didn't like it, but it had to happen.

"GINERVA MOLLY WEASLEY" Molly screamed. "Don't do that, you don't have to do that, you are not his slave. You don't belong to him, you belong to your mother". Molly told her as she while standing next to Harry.

The smiling eyes Ginny had when she gazed up at Harry turned into pure hate when she gazed at her mother. Quickly she bent down again and kissed the feet of Harry just before she looked back up. "NO" she screamed at her mother and kissed the feet of Harry again. "I'm sorry master, I'm sorry for my eruption and also for what I'm about to say".

The great hall became deathly silent the moment Ginny screamed no at her mother. But that went completely unnoticed by the people near and behind the head table.

"No mother, I'm the slave of Lord Potter, there for I'm his property. He is my master, I owe him my life. As his slave, I will and I want to serve him for as long as he will have me. I even dare to say to say he will treat me better than you ever have". Her words were hard but she wanted it that way. Her hatred was coming out and she wanted her mother to know she didn't like her upbringing.

Molly looked a little pale at Ginny. "Ginerva. Sweet hard you don't mean that he, he is using you" Molly squeaked.

"No mother it is you. You were using me. U were the one who wanted to mislead me and my master. My master has been nothing but honest with me, more honest than you have ever been. You, however, don't have the right to disregard the old ways like you are doing now". Ginny almost shouted while the tears were forming in her eyes. She immediately bent down and kissed the feet of Harry.

Molly stood there with her mouth open, she wanted to say something but couldn't find her voice. The only thing she could do was look at her daughter in disbelieve. Her daughter who was still bending over on her knees kissing the feet of that brat Harry Potter. Her thoughts were all over the place but mostly they were of the scene that was happening right in front of her. (How could her daughter do something like this? Why was she submitting herself to his will and at his feet? That brat would have made them all rich beyond belief. But her daughter had ruined all of those plans. First, she would have married Ginny to Harry. After he had made Ginny pregnant she would have killed him so they could have all his money. Sure Ginny could have fallen in love with him and wouldn't like it if she killed him. But if that would have happened she would have killed Ginny, just to make herself the only grandmother and the only one to get the whole Potter fortune) but no that Potter boy had taken all her money away from her.

Ginny was still sitting on her knees kissing the feet of Harry every ten seconds. How long she had to sit like this she didn't know. The only thing she did know was that she had to do this as long as her mother was standing there. She was humiliated by doing this just like she was humiliating Harry by standing there and she was sure that he wanted nothing of this.

Harry stood there like a rock and was thinking hard about the lessons he had got from Daphne and Neville. He knew that he had to push her away with his feet at the station. There it would tell everyone and especially Molly that he had the power over Ginny. A lesson Molly did not learn. Now it was the last thing he could do. This time he had to show her respect, respect for her loyalty to him as her master. And all of that right in front of her mother. Then again it was only a respect he could show her the moment Molly went away.

Molly who didn't understand the old ways just stood there waiting for Ginny to get up. She didn't understand that Ginny had to remain sitting there just kissing his feet.

fortunately for Ginny and Harry, Minerva was the one who did understand the old ways because she made sure that Molly went back to her seat.

The moment Molly walked away Harry started to bend down. With his hands under her arms, he helped Ginny back to her feet. He knew that she had learned the old ways of a slave from Daphne and Neville. So it wasn't hard for him to say what he had to say. It was the one thing he wanted to do in the courtroom with all the Wizengamot members looking on. This, however, wasn't ideal but it was the second best thing. So with a Sonorus spell of his own, he said. "Ginerva Molly Weasley. As your master, I have the right to offer you the next thing. According to the old ways, I have the right to make you completely mine when the contract is broken, a contract that was made between the lord of the two houses. That contract has been broken by the actions of your mother when she took the story to the Daily Prophet". Harry made a deep sigh and said. "Ginerva Molly Weasley, hereby I offer you a choice to either remain my slave and lose the right to an education or become a daughter of house potter and become whatever you want to be. It will make me your father, Bella and Daphne your mothers and Minerva Potter/ McGonagall your magical guardian".

Ginny looked right into the eyes of Harry. She had expected everything but this was something she would have never dreamed about. But what would it mean for her? Would she still have her own dad or would she have to leave him? Then again if she would have to leave him would she then be able to see him sometimes. Was that allowed or not. If not could she say goodbye? She didn't care about her mother but her father was something else.

Ginny dropped back to her knees and kissed his feet one more time. "Master, may I think about it before I make my decision". She asked as she kissed his feet again and again.

"Harry gave a quick look at Susan. He knew that she would know the answer. As he saw her raise one finger he knew what he had to say. Ginny, I can give you one week, after that week I want your answer" and again he helped her back onto her feet. With one arm around her shoulder, he took her back to the Gryffindor table. First, he helped her to sit next to Susan and quickly made his way to Daphne and Bella.

Susan gave him a thumbs up and looked over to Minerva who was about to start the sorting of the new students.

*#*

Albus Dumbledore sat down and frowned at Harry. He had deliberately avoided the fifth table and hope that it would not come up again. As the sorting started he thought back to the lawsuit Harry wanted to start. He knew that he wanted to prove that he was the owner of Ginny and that was something they didn't want. So together with Fudge, he made a plan to humiliate Harry. Her main goal had been Hogwarts. If he would be humiliated in front of his peers they would have won the first battle. If it worked he would become humble again. This way Albus could come in and save him from his troubles and become his mentor, making him a big part of the light.

As he looked at Harry he knew that they had failed again. He really believed that he had made a slave of Ginny without her consent. It had been this believe that made him talked to Rita Skeeter. But it wasn't to be. His next play had been Molly Weasley. Again he knew that she wasn't a real Professor but that hadn't stopped him before. So by making her the Dada professor he had hoped that Ginny would run into her mother's arms and that Minerva would be the one to save her grandson.

However, it had been Ginny who saved him from her mother. Something he hadn't expected and from the look Molly gave them she didn't either. It had been that moment that he started to doubt his decision if it had been a wise choice to work together with Molly. She didn't know anything about the old ways. At first, that wasn't a problem because Harry didn't know that either. But then again he also didn't expect that Harry would make friends with the two persons who knew all about them.

It was now that he knew what he had to do. If he wanted Harry to become his pawn again he had to take care of his friends. With them out of the way he would become the one Harry could look up to.

"Astoria Greengrass" sounded the voice of Minerva.

This had been the name that brought Albus out of his thoughts. The first thing he did was to look at the fifth table in the middle of the great hall. To his enjoyment, he could see that it was still empty. It had been the one thing he told the sorting hat. Sure he had to break into the office of Minerva but it had been worth it. With a little smile, he saw that Astoria had been the last student to be sorted so his warning had worked.

"HOGWARTS" sounded the voice of the sorting hat.

Albus was furious when he heard the name of the fifth table. He had told the head that no first year was allowed to join that house.

Astoria stood and walked over to the empty table in the middle of the great hall. As all of the students watch how Astoria took her place they saw the banners of the fifth house appear. The banners were decorated with the coat of arms of Hogwarts itself. Everyone turned their eyes to the entrance of the great hall when they heard a deafening sound. In front of their eyes, they could all see a fifth hourglass appear above the entrance.

Minerva took the Sorting hat in her hand and wanted to walk away. But as she walked to the edge of the stage she saw the hatred look Albus gave the hat when he made his way to the center of the stage. It was now that he had to explain the fifth table in the middle of the great hall. The moment he passed the sorting hat he whispered. "I will speak to you later".

"Minerva please put a Sonorus on me, " the sorting hat asked.

Minerva looked down at the hat and nodded.

After the spell, the hat spoke with so much venom that most of the great hall shivered in fear "No Albus if you have something to say you say it now. I speak with the voice of the founders and they made me with the soul purpose so I could sort the students one by one. They also gave me the permission to judge you on your words".

Harry and his friends just sat at the Gryffindor table with smiles on their faces. It was then that he heard a whisper in his head that sounded like his grandmother. ^I think that Sonorus is going to be my new favorite spell^.

Albus became very pale and hadn't heard the spell Minerva had placed on him as he snapped. "I told you that there wouldn't be a first year that would be placed in the fifth house".

The sorting hat laughed loudly. "Yes, Albus that is right you did tell me that. It was also something the founders agreed upon. But for your information, Miss Greengrass isn't a first-year student. She will be starting in her second year. So even though she is a new student she isn't a first-year student.

Albus cursed himself because he should have known when someone started in another year. But just like so many other things he had to do, he had handed them out to someone ells. The letters for the new arrivals were sent away by Minerva and not by him. It was a task done by the headmaster but he only wanted the money, not the work.

With a tired and beat down look he turned himself to the students while the sorting hat was laughing in the hands of Minerva. The thing he was going to say now had been the thing he had tried to avoid all day. "As you can all see we have a new and fifth house in our midst? This house is made for special students. I myself do not know what credentials you need to be fitted into this house, but as of today, every student has one opportunity to change houses. This can only be done one time in every seven years. If you do this you do not have the certainty that you will end up in the fifth house or in any other house. You could even be sorted back into your own house. So for everyone who wants to change house now is the opportunity".

It didn't surprise Albus that all the friends of Harry stood and made their way over to the sorting hat. What did surprised him was that Harry didn't get up. One after one his friends were sorted into the new house. Bella and Daphne sat down in front of Astoria and kept a free place between them.

It was after that that most students started to mumble among themselves. Most of them were wondering if they should go and try to get into another house.

Harry looked around the great hall and his eyes landed on Ginny. With a jerk of his head, he told her to go to the sorting hat. After that he let his gaze go to the Slytherin Table. There he saw Tracy Davis looking at him with questioning eyes. He made the same motion to her. To his surprise, he saw her standing up and pulling a boy along with her.

Slowly others were starting to stand up and making their way to the line that was waiting for the sorting hat.

Harry watched the line and didn't see Ginny anywhere in that line. As he looked over his shoulder he saw her standing next to a girl with a dreamy look in her eyes. While he saw her pulling the girl along, he also saw many boys trying their luck for the new house.

Everyone watched as people were resorted. Not all of them were placed into the new house. Some were placed into another house but most of them ended back into their old house. For most of the students, it was a big gamble to try and get resorted because it wasn't clear what kind of trait you had to have to belong in that house.

The last to have been resorted was a Slytherin boy who ended up in his old house. Minerva bent down and took the stool and the sorting hat to her place at the head table. It was then that Harry got up and placed himself between Daphne and Bella.

Harry looked around the table and saw that there were about twenty students in House Hogwarts. There were eight new boys and six new girls. And then there were his friends. All of them looked at Harry when he sat down with them without being resorted. Just wondering what would happen.

At the head Table sat Albus Dumbledore with the most hate full glare he could manage. His eyes were glued to the back of the head of Harry. He could not understand the fifth table. He never knew about it and suddenly it was there. The only thing he knew was that it was connected to Harry Potter. The other things he didn't understand were all the banners or the Hourglass that appeared out of nowhere. He wasn't as connected to the magic of Hogwarts like he used to be and that was why he didn't know.

No, the only thing he knew was that Harry Potter was sitting at another table. That was only allowed during the year but not at the starting feast or the closing feast. He finally had something to punish him by and he would not let it go by. Only the thought of it made him giddy from the inside out.

The last thing he was wondering about was something that made him very annoyed. He could not figure out how the board of governors hired another Professor without him knowing about it. Sure he could blame Harry Potter for it, something he did in his mind. So after that meeting, he tried to talk to Lucius because he was wondering why Narcissa had been there. He had made a deal with Lucius that he would be the one to always vote in his favor. But it was something Narcissa didn't do.

After that meeting, he did ask Lucius about it but Lucius became almost enraged by his words. The only thing Lucius told him was that Potter had him by the balls and he could do nothing about it, but more than that he wouldn't say.

As Albus looked over at Zanita he was wondering who she really was. She did seem to be very friendly with Minerva, but he didn't know why or how. After the meeting with Lucius, he had tried to find whatever he could about her but there was nothing at all. There had been no clue or indication about her. Not even a place of birth.

He had tried to prevent them from hiring her. Partly because he wanted to keep the paycheck from Binns for himself and partly because he didn't really trust her. He had said that she wasn't capable enough.

Unfortunately, it had been Harry who told him that he had been the one to hire Gilderoy Lockhart, so he had no right to talk. Sure he didn't know it at that time but it turned out that Gilderoy had lied about his whole life and the adventures in his books. On the moment Albus knew that it had been too late and Bella had been carried into the infirmary without a bone left in her hands.

So with this knowledge, he could not refuse the hiring of this new professor. But before his parting, he told the board that she had to pass the first year or she would not return the next. This meant that ninety percent of her students had to pass or advance to the next year or she would be out of a job.

With a shake of his head, he looked back at the fifth table. There sat Harry with all his friends. He was laughing, just having a good time. It made him smile. Only because after the feast every one of those friends would go to their new common room and Harry would be all alone in Gryffindor house. Harry didn't know it yet but he had given him a clear road to start his manipulation all over again. With an even bigger smile, he started to cut into his steak.

*#*

Minerva was sitting next to Zanita. They were talking about classes and Harry. One thing Zanita didn't understand was why Harry was so powerful. Sure there had been more students with a lot of raw power but Harry took the cake in all of that. If she didn't know any better Zanita would have said that he was a fully grown Wizard.

"Minerva do you know why Harry has become so powerful at his young age" Zanita asked.

Minerva looked over at her grandson and got a sad look in her eyes. With her hand, she erected a privacy wall and gazed at Zanita. "Well I didn't but Poppy had a reasonable explanation for it".

Flashback.

It was after the mind Duel of Bella and Harry.

It was ten in the evening and the kids were all send to bed. The adults retired into the kitchen and were waiting for Andromeda, Amelia and Augusta to emerge from the Pensieve. They were looking at the duel because they had been the only ones who weren't there when it all happened.

"Wow, that was some spell work they showed". Amelia said as she walked into the kitchen.

"I don't know but most of those spells were dark and way out of their arsenal" Augusta went on. "I know that the memory of Bellatrix has those spells in them and I also understand how Harry is able to do them. The only thing I don't understand is the amount of power he uses to do them".

Everyone was quiet for a moment. "Well, I remember that most of those spells were taught to us by our aunt Dorothea Black" Andromeda started. "She always said that they were spells we could only use when we were defending ourselves and that they would always be meant to hurt. But seeing Harry do them I think that in his case they would all be lethal. With his power he would not break a leg he would pulverize it".

Most of the adults were nodding but Sirius had to ask. "Well, I know that Lily and James were very powerful. So that counts for some of his power. But they were nowhere near this powerful".

There was a moment of silent when Poppy spoke up. "Well, I think that I have a theory about that. And to tell you the truth I don't think Harry was born this powerful, he was made this way". Poppy expected a lot of shouting but they were all watching her with their mouths hanging open.

Only Amelia had her mouth closed but her eyes were screaming explain.

Poppy smiled at her and started. "Well first of all Harry was already born very powerful because Lily and James were very powerful themselves just like their parents were and are" she gave a quick look at Minerva. "Now the reason why I think and said Harry was made this way. Is mostly because there are ways to make you stronger and I'm not talking about rituals because there are other ways. Now I was talking about thinks that happened in a series of events. Firstly it was me who expanded his power".

"You" Shouted Sirius.

"Yes, Sirius me, I expanded his magic the day I bounded it".

Most of the adults had a questioning look and so Poppy went on to explain it."When you bound a magical core, you place something like a tube around it. It will make the magic flow slower and it will not damage the core. But because you slow down the magic the core will expand a little just to make more magic for the body".

They all could understand the logic behind it. "But if that is so, then I would imagine more purebloods doing that to their children". Isabella asked.

"Yes, you would think so" Poppy Answered. "However if you want to bind a child you have to ask permission at St. Mungos. A lot of purebloods didn't do it and when they took the binding off, they all did it way too fast. You have to do it very slowly because if you don't the child will combust. In the Muggle world, it was called self-combustion. But it is the magic that gets free range and it burns the body completely. Harry was only saved because he was in a magical coma at the time his core was freed".

Most of them shivered at the thought.

"Now the other thing that made Harry stronger was the Horcrux behind his scar. That piece of Voldemort needed magic to survive. And the only way for it to get magic was to suck it out of Harry. This again made the body of Harry react and it expanded the core to cope with the missing magic. I think that it expanded his core by thirty percent".

"Wow, was suppose" David exclaimed.

"Now the third and the biggest part were the Dursleys. With every beating they gave Harry. It made his core expand more and more. The magic of Harry was expanding so it could heal Harry and keep him alive. So if my guess is right. Then I think his core is twice or maybe three times as big as it was supposed to be. You could say it is the power they know not".

"WOW" David exclaimed again. "This would make him the strongest wizard of the world".

"Not yet," Poppy said."What, are you telling me that Albus and Voldemort are still the strongest," David said in disbelieve.

Both Augusta and Poppy snorted. "Albus and Voldemort were never the strongest. The strongest was and has always been Minerva here. But she was never good at dueling so that's why everyone thinks they are the strongest" Augusta explained with a laugh.

"Really," Amelia said with a grin. "Well, Minerva show us something magical".

Minerva smiled. "Okay, but we will be keeping this between us". After those words, Minerva moved her chair a little backwards and waved her hand around. She made a big show of showing that there was nothing up her sleeves. She then continued and waved her hands around the table. All the tableware on the table changed into little monkeys and jumped from the table and into the kitchen. It was there that the monkeys changed back and fell into the sink.

"That was great; you have to teach me that".

"Harry, What are you doing down here get back to bed", Minerva said.

"No, I want to learn this".

"Tomorrow Harry, now it is time for you to get back into bed".

"No, I want to learn it now".

It was now that Minerva started to get a little angry. "Harry I said NO".

"You never let me do anything; you are always keeping me down like I'm a little kid. You were never there for me".

What happened next went so fast that it shocked everybody. The left hand from Minerva pointed at Harry and her right hand was held up high.

Harry felt a magical hand grabbing him and pulling him to his grandmother. He was bent over her knee and before he could say anything he felt her right hand slamming down on his left buttocks, three times fast and hard. "GET TO YOUR ROOM NOW".

Tears were burning in the eyes of Harry as he ran out of the room and slammed the door behind him.

With her eyes still on the door, Minerva brought three fingers up to her mouth to cover her lips. "Oooo in Merlin's name what have I done? He is going to hate me now".

Sirius turned into Padfoot and went after Harry the moment Minerva broke down in sobs. He had to make things right and he knew instantly what to do. So before he walked into the bedroom he turned back into Sirius and walked in. There on the bed, he saw his godson sitting with his head in his hands. "Well care to explain why you said what you said".

Harry looked up. "Why I didn't do anything wrong".

"Are you sure about that" Sirius asked.

"So are you here to take her side. She hit me you know".

"Yes Harry I know, And I hate to tell you this, but Minerva was right. If it were up to me you wouldn't be able to sit for a week".

"What".

"Yes, Harry I'm serious. What you said downstairs was completely wrong. You blamed her for something she had no control over. And if you want to blame someone you have to blame me".

"What, what are you talking about Sirius".

"You really don't know what you said do you".

Harry rubbed the back of his head and shook No.

"You told her that she was never there for you. And If I'm not mistaking she never knew she was your grandmother until you both found out. So if you have to blame someone you have to blame me. I was the one who should have been taking care of you. However, I was selfish and went after Peter. If I hadn't you would have had your grandmother with you for all your life".

Harry just looked at Sirius. "I never said anything like that".

"No Harry, think back".

Harry folded his legs and started to think really hard. "Now… I want it now…You never let me do anything…. You are always keeping me down like I'm a little kid. You were never, there, for, m. Oooo No".

The next thing Sirius saw was Harry running from the room. He turned back into Padfoot and ran after him back to the kitchen.

In the kitchen.

"I'm telling you, Isabella, He will hate me now. And he was right I was never there for him".

"Minerva, stop it. Harry was way out of line and you know it".

"But, but".

The door to the kitchen swung open and slammed against the wall. There in the doorway stood her Harry whit his eyes full of tears. Before she could say anything he rushed forward and slammed himself against her, swinging his arms around her, crying hard into her dress. "I'm Sorry. Please don't go. I didn't mean it like that. I was acting like a spoiled brat just like Dudley and Draco are and I wasn't right; you have always been good to me. I'm Sorry, I'm Sorry".

Minerva took her grandson into her arms and rubbed a hand over his head.

"It's okay Harry but don't do it again".

"I promise".

End Flashback.

*#*

Everyone at the fifth table were still looking at Harry. They all had one question on their minds but none of them wanted to ask him because they were scared of what he was going to say.

It was not long after that that Bella took pity and ask the thing they all wanted to know. "Harry what is this house and why are we all good enough to be here".

Harry nodded slowly and finished his bite. While he put down his fork and knife he looked around the table just before he gave the answer. "Everyone at this table has a very good reason to be in house Hogwarts. This house is just like it is called. It is a house full of students of all the houses combined. Now the house you were in was the right house for you. If you were brave you were in Gryffindor. Loyal, you were in Hufflepuff. Smart in Ravenclaw and if you were cunning you were in Slytherin. But you are sorted here because there is a very good reason for it".

Everyone was looking at him with their mouth closed, just waiting for what was to come. He did name everything you had to be to be in one of the houses. But he didn't tell what you had to have to belong in this house. It was strange because they had seen about a hundred students who tried to get into another house. And yet only about twenty had made it. They even saw Crabbe and Goyle trying it and they all knew they had to be in the troll academy.

Harry could see how deeply everyone was thinking. "Well do you think I should tell you or do all of you want to think a little longer"? Most of them shook their heads but some were looking at him as if he was pulling their leg or something.

Only Daphne and Bella were looking at him with a murderous glance. They were clearly saying. Tell us now mister or you will see what happens if you make us wait any longer. When they glanced at each other they gave an evil smile a smile that made Harry swallow hard. He made a mental note not to cross them too often.

"Okay listen" Harry started.

The table immediately quieted down and everyone was looking at Harry.

"The reason why you are all worthy enough to be in House Hogwarts is mostly because of the way your house treated you all. Most of you didn't have any friends or were bullied by the other members of that house. Tracy over here wanted nothing more than to be with her friend Daphne. Now, this gave a huge problem. As you all know Tracy was a member of house Slytherin and Daphne of house Gryffindor. It was this reason why she could not continue the friendship, mostly because her house forbade it. This was the reason why she was made an outcast of her house. Now even if she is cunning and very suitable for house Slytherin. House Slytherin didn't think she was".

Harry wanted to give them another example but he was cut short by a dreamy voice. "Hi everyone, my name is Luna Lovegood. Most of you know me as Loony Lovegood. I was bullied in my house for my first two years. So when my friend Ginny took me along to the sorting hat I took the chance. It was the last chance I took because if this year would be the same I would not have returned for my fourth year". Luna took a drink from her pumpkin juice and went on. "So like I said this was my last chance and I took it. When I sat on the stool I asked the Sorting hat what it is we had to have. This is what he told me".

Everyone around the table was looking at her with their mouth hanging open. Here was a girl they all knew as Loony Lovegood. But no one could tell you why she was called that name.

For the second time, she took a drink and said "It was the sorting hat that told me that Lord Hogwarts wanted me in his house. He told me that Lord Hogwarts knew what it was like to be bullied. He would be the one to understand all of us and what it meant for us. So with a house full of students, no one wanted we have to prove it to ourselves that we are better. And I know we could be the best house there is, to us". And Luna lifted her glass.

It was a moment later that Harry lifted his glass as he looked at Luna. "To us, to Hogwarts".

Slowly the welcome feast came to an end. Albus got up and walked to the middle of the stage for the final time that evening. "For all new students welcome, for all the old students welcome back. I hope that the welcome feast has filled your bellies. So it is time for all of you to head to bed so you can all start fresh tomorrow morning. Prefects take the first years to the common room, good night to you all".

As most of the students were starting to get up, House Hogwarts remained seated. There were no prefect's assigned so most of the new students looked at Harry and his friends. But whatever they expected this wasn't it. Harry and his friends just remained sitting and talking as if the feast was still going on.

Slowly the great hall was starting to get empty, some of the older students remained seated but even they started to get up. With an eye on the head table, It was clear to Harry what was about to happen. From out the corner of that eye, he could see the headmaster starting to make his way over to their table. He was closely followed by Professor Snape and one Molly Weasley. A little to the left he could see that his grandmother and Lady Hogwarts were still seated at the head table but they were watching closely at what was about to happen.

"Harry" Albus started in his grandfatherly voice. "Could you please explain to me why it is that you are not on your way to the Gryffindor common room"?

Daphne heard the voice he used and rolled her eyes. As she glanced over at Bella she could see her sighing deeply. She wouldn't need to ask Bella what she was thinking because she was thinking the same thing. Will he ever learn?

"Well Albus it is quite simple exactly, you see I'm no longer in Gryffindor," Harry said without looking up at him.

Albus rubbed the bridge of his nose with two fingers. "Harry, it is still Headmaster or Professor for you and not Albus. But as far as I know it is only allowed for the headmaster or the board of governors to assign a new house for a student. It was also allowed by the sorting hat but you didn't take that opportunity" Albus explained as if he was talking to a five-year-old.

There was a small smile creeping onto the face of Harry. As he looked at Hermione he knew that he had the right person to handle this little mistake. "Mione would you do me the honor of telling Albus here why he is wrong".

Hermione gave him a small smile as she nodded. "Well Headmaster, it is like Mr. Potter told you and yes it is still Mr. potter or Lord Potter for you but you are wrong. It isn't only the headmaster or the board of governors who can assign a new house to a student. The heirs of the founders can change from house to house whenever they like. Now because Mr. Potter isn't only Lord Potter but also Lord Gryffindor, he is allowed to change houses whenever he wants. Not only that but he could also stay in his own quarters. So as of today, he is in house Hogwarts". After those words, Hermione gave a small smile to Harry, a kiss to Neville while she got up to leave the great hall.

The moment Hermione got up she was followed by all the other friends. The others from the new house first waited a moment before they decided that it was best to follow the friends. The one thing they didn't want was getting between the war that was going on headmaster and the friends.

Albus looked at the back of Harry and was wondering what he could do. He knew that Hermione was right and that Harry had the right to change houses. But he had to do something to get the upper hand.

"Albus you cannot let that brat talk to you in that way" Molly squeaked from his side.

Albus rubbed his hand to his beard and knew what he had to do. "Before you all go, your new head of house will be Professor Molly Weasley".

Harry skidded to a hold and turned around. His eyes were glowing deadly green and his wand was already in his hand. The moment he wanted to lift his wand it was Bella who held on to his arm and kept it down.

Daphne was on the other side of him whispering everything she could think of just to keep him calm enough. Both Bella and Daphne knew why Molly had become the head of the house. It was the last and only thing Albus could do to get the upper hand. So with a lot of difficulty and the help of their other friends they were pulling Harry along and away from the great hall.

As they walked down the corridors harry became a little calmer. He took them all to a painting of the four founders. It was the one painting that showed them but also the one painting that didn't talk back. It was there that they saw Minerva and Zanita waiting for them.

Harry turned to the painting and over his shoulder said. "You do know I want to know the shortcut you took right".

Zanita turned to Minerva. "Do you know what he is talking about"?

"No, and if I did I'm not going to tell them, they are already too smart for their own good," Minerva said with a chuckle.

The friends laughed along and as one they all turned to the painting. Harry coughed. "Lord Gryffindor, Lord Slytherin, Lady Ravenclaw and Lady Hufflepuff, May I introduce you all to the first united house of Hogwarts, but also to the one and only true head of our house. LADY HOGWARTS".

After those words, all the friends parted and showed Lady Hogwarts to the founders. The four founders came to the edge of the painting and with their mouths hanging open they were breathlessly looking at the Lady. This was their magic; this was their goal to accomplish. But they were never able to do it in their own lifetime but here she was, the protector of the castle in her true form as Lady Hogwarts.

A/N: This was it again for this week. See you all in two weeks. Please review.
