Chapter 5: Severus Snape, Discussions And School Starts

"Remus took the job, and Sirius is taking up residence at the Hogshead, for the year, we just need to get the map back." I said and he nodded. "So said map, your father's nickname, okay I understand, like you figured, put us in the same room, is an altercation waiting to happen. If it's me and Black, Lupin tries to be the peacekeeper, before the debate results in a fight. Well I got Lupin here at the school and Black at the village, okay got it." he said and I nodded then gently.

"The Ministry threw out the 'he says, he thinks, he believes', doing this according to how they should do it, and fixing the blunder they made last year: Riddle is him." I said and he crossed his arms. "So he's like us, a half blood?" he asked and I nodded. "I think it's corresponding to the what he's obsessed with, by that I mean Dumbledore, I have the cloak. He might have the wand, and Gaunt, his grandfather, had the stone." I said and he nodded in shock to the news.

"There's my mistake, your father was always humble, about use of the cloak, so in death, he greeted Death like an old friend, and it's been handed to you now. I been surrounded by pureblood supremacists all growing to become death eaters. That I forgot, your mother is just as powerful, if not more, then I am." he said and I nodded gently to him then. "But that's the good news, even better, I found his key, his key to immortality, he created horcruxes now."

"I found two more, like the diary, my scar could be number 4, and we're checking the diadem." I said and he nodded. "And I can confirm that right now, you are a horcrux." Griphook said and Severus nodded. "So that's 5, are there anymore?" he asked and I nodded. "That's his snake, and his grandfather's ring, I'm killing him at the tournament." I said and he smiled. "So finishing your destiny sooner than Dumbledore wanted, nice." he said and I nodded in relief we did this.

"Severus, Vernon never signed the form, so 2 ways about it, 1) I'm an MLE cadet, 2) no form so no leaving campus, as you said, time to separate us. I want separation this year, you know this, I just found out the truth, it's someone who was once a family friend. Said not only killed my parents, he murdered my sister, mum was pregnant, it was a girl." I said and he nodded, as he wiped the tears off his face. "So if still alive, I see Lilly as a child?" he asked me, gently then.

Trying to control his voice and I nodded, as he pulled me into a hug, and I buried my head into his shoulder then. "It's okay, we'll find him, he's going to pay for this." he said into my ear, and I closed my eyes tightly. 'Ron don't start with me, I don't need this right now, I want my family back.' I thought, shaking in grief then as I clung to him tightly. "That child better think before he acts, or so help me lord, he's getting detention for 4 months." he snapped sternly at this then.

As he let go, as I looked at him. "I'm about to start dating Ginny, and I'm taking two hard classes, so make your assumption, if I tell you this. And they're arguing with me over everything this semester, because more time with you and Remus, training. More time with friends outside my own circle, more time with Ginny." I said and he nodded. "Vernon Dursley, who's the maiden name, Petunia…." he asked and I nodded. "Evans, mum's sister." I said and he nodded then.

"But Severus, Hermione Granger, as in Uncle Dan, Daniel." I said and he covered his eyes. "I should have seen that coming, with me up here, last year after school started. I forgot that I know only one family named Granger, and Dan was it, he, your mother and me. We're the best of friends here, but my association with Death Eaters to be, destroyed our relationship. Alright be careful this year, no adventures, and keep that cloak on." he said and I nodded gently then.

"Next to Remus, you're the only one I can trust not to spill the beans here, just please, don't tell him, till we expose it, and the twins pass me the map back. Fudge gave me a freebie, I'm off on a warning, once I get the map, because I'm exposing that truth to him, but Peter is Scabbers." I said and he nodded slowly. "Ronald's rat is Peter, okay thank you for telling me that, this means, that you knew all along, but without evidence had no proof, and without the map."

"Just like Percival didn't, till we get the map back, well there we go, your trusted adults, I'm a maternal family friend. And to say this, once you expose him to us, Ronald don't start, how were you to know that both sources of information you come to depend on, were wrong. It's because you're lazy, ignorant and weak, I get it though, and you're right, in knowing the truth. Is, in truth, you're in a very fragile state this semester, you need to be your own person now."

"I take it you've just turned on the headmaster, Minerva, Hagrid and the duo, because every professor my age to her's, besides mum and me, are all muggleborns. If you trust me only to know this, and alerted Lupin, Barty, Fudge and Rufus?" he asked and I nodded. "Mum's power, and knowing what it means here, I'm learning things he never wanted me to learn. As such, his control of me just ended, my eyes are open to what he did now." I said and he nodded sternly.

"So said jokes, when I'm doing Lupin's class, you know everything about the wolves, thanks to Kessler and Lupin." he said and I nodded. "Start with the movie jokes, you're asking for trouble, say David and Silver Bullet, even the Wolfman, but you know Hermione." I said and he nodded with a bemused a smile. "Indeed, I'm around you children day in and day out, that I'm used to this, but for once I wish you would stay out of things, us adults set here in security."

"Lupin is just starting out, me, I been your teacher for 2 years, he has no idea what he's getting into with you, but thank god you reversed this. And before I found you inside the tree next, but two years of exploits, and now I find you three inside that tree next. What you you this time exactly right now, and I'm not the only one thinking this, Minerva is as well right now. So the bloody elf closed the portal, if you waited 5 more minutes, I'd be there." he said and I smiled.

"I just want to hear you answer questions for once, I understand 2 years, want to make friends, it's time now, but I said that, I don't know how many times. Just to give someone else a chance to answer, but hearing from you, you know these things. Before we hear But, but she's showing off like usual, like I said, restrain yourself, you know more then she does. but that's going too far, after you put that report down, and everyone's now making jokes in class on that."

"Before a paper ball gets thrown across the room, as if the explosions from your potions making are not enough. That we now got that too, after Movie theory falls into the conversation along with the wolves. Before someone, after 11, is out on the prowl that night, and we have Lupin prowling the halls, before taking it outside next. But like I said take extra care with that essay, you know more then they do, why their eyes change color." he said and I nodded to him then.

"You know I never let you get away with anything anyway here, but there it is, stern teacher, I'm pushing you to work harder, but Ronald's decision was reckless. After you were barely killed, during the obstacle course, but my orders are carry your cloak with you. And take the access passages, to get around, with two added classes, in addition to Hagrid. Takes less time then taking all 5 classes here, so 10 OWL's when you hit 5th year." he said and I nodded smiling.

"Yeah my mentor, but you and Remus, you're my favorite defense teachers, and I'm learning a variety of defense spells, the next three weeks." I said and he smiled. "And there's the you, you would be, if Lilly was still alive." he said and I smiled and nodded. "Yeah more time studying, training in quidditch and spending time with Ginny, no time for breaking rules. This time this year, best behaved cub now, I got studying to do right now." I said and he nodded in approval.

"Perfect: less time playing around, more time studying now as you start getting better at the moment, if you just loosen up, and not let them hold you back. You're going to match your mother and me now, in potions, defense and what not, but I'm teaching you some new ones. This year here, Barty, I can teach him potions this summer, I need to see the guys, before we work it out." he said and Crouch nodded gently. "Very well." he said and I smiled in relief.

"Rita, I want my version in Witch Weekly, the adult version of that same report, in the Daily Prophet, as the Weasleys. Dan, Vernon, and possibly Dean and Seamus's mother, all read the Weekly, if you're that well known. That gets the ball rolling, so they know I'm done playing around and Dumbledore's on the edge. Now, of a nervous breakdown, out of fear, his only insurance to prevent evisceration, was exposed." I said and she nodded smiling gently.

Knowing this started something, I changed and matured, but with knowing the truth, they all knew I was in a very fragile state then…

The Weasleys Return-3 Weeks Later/Nobody's POV:

After coming home and arriving at the bank to get their school supplies, they arrived at their family vault. "What the.., Daddy, Mummy, there seems to be a mistake here, you better see this." Ginny Weasley said and he looked. "What the hades is this?!" he said in shocked disbelief. "Your compensation for the snake, and with it, Mr. Weasley, the Ministry tripled your salary." Griphook said and he nodded. "Who was the compensation to?" his wife asked and he smiled.

"Your youngest son and daughter, Ms. Weasley, look at your pile." he said and Ginny moved to her side of the 24 trunks. "P., we know only one P surname and Harry is it." Her big brother Percy said and they nodded. "So why change the surname, unless.., you're kidding, you chose my sister, now that you're entering puberty!" Fred, her older twin brother, said and she smiled at that. "He tacked his surname onto her's, married name." Molly said, realizing it at that news.

"Point taken, he's offering his hand in marriage, but before he does that, he needs our permission." Arthur Weasley said to her gently. "G.M.P, P…, Harry, it's you?!" she said as she smiled as she opened up the one she came to, and sitting on top of the pile was a necklace. 'My Ginny, now you know, you are my ruby, I am your emerald, together forever, but P. You are my bride now, I love you, if you'll have me.' Ginny read out and smiled in delight.

'My love we both know what happened there in the chamber linked us together forever, it was close, but I belong to you, I always did. From the second we met, we're meant to be now, but I changed, I grew up now, they may not understand. But then they're preteens trapped in 13 year old bodies, we are grown teenagers, mentally. Now, that they're keeping us apart, I'm not going to have it, as such now, finally.'

'Animi nostri in matrimonio coniuncti, Cor unum sumus, mens et anima nunc in duobus corporibus.', Percy what's this one mean, you study Latin." she said and he took the letter and read it. "Our souls linked in marriage, we are one heart, mind and soul in two bodies now." he said and she smiled at that reveal then. "We are, we are one Harry, and I love you with everything in me, my husband, but your question now, that take you as you are."

"Yes, yes, I will Harry, I will." she said smiling in delight, and put the necklace on. "G.M.P. I'm Ginevra Molly Potter, nee' Weasley now." she said and Molly quickly turned and read the letter, and then looked at her new necklace and smiled. "Harry, baby, what you do, if we have this many trunks in our family vault." she asked and Ginny nodded with a smile then. "Our shares for the snake, he sold the carcass, and divvied it to 12 shares, us, Mione, and the guys."

"Looks like he passed one to Penny too, compensation for the entire traumatizing school year to us." she said and they nodded. "Well that doesn't explain this number, Molly, we have 30,000,000 galleons scattered around the room.." Arthur said and she nodded. "Ended up with a raise, something happened while we were away, that made them give you a pay raise right now, daddy." she said and Molly nodded. 'The paper, has to be.' she thought to that, in agreement.

"Knock, knock, Arthur, we got to talk." Crouch said and he nodded, as he walked into the hallway. "That said payraise, we have reason to believe, your son's pet rat is Peter Pettigrew, Sirius Black was put on parole, he's looking for Peter." he said and Arthur nodded sternly. "I better tell him not go looking for Black, just stay on campus, Harry left a little something extra to my daughter, a necklace he created for her right now."

"But this is beyond generous, let me guess, this counts to her dowry now, he's asking for her hand in marriage, if that was on the necklace?" he asked and Crouch nodded, smiling gently. "Their new Defense teacher is a family friend of the Potter clan: Remus John Lupin, he's a wolf, but he's, in addition to that, patrolling campus. Till your boys give Harry the map back, evidently it never lies." he said and Arthur nodded sternly then.

"Percy, come out here!" he called out and he walked out to join them. "Percy, did you come to the conclusion said rat is really Peter Pettigrew at the time. That it's because if your brothers have that map, we been holding his parents betrayer hostage all this time." he said and Percy nodded. "Yeah dad I did, but until Harry breaks the creator control codes on the map, we have no evidence here." he said and he smiled gently.

"Who's our new Defense Professor this year, as the last two were a joke?" he asked and Crouch smiled. "Albus chose a family friend, Remus Lupin, he's a wolf." he said and he crossed his arms smiling. "Well there's our speculation, only he knows Peter when he sees him, I just got my wish right now. Harry's a good kid, I like him alot, but he, in truth needs a year off, no adventures this year." he said and they both nodded gently.

"Well Harry's taking your teacher's classes, Jeremy and Alex." Crouch said and he smiled. "So two hard, one easy, and who may I ask is doing Magical Creatures, as Kettleburn is retiring soon enough?" he asked and he chuckled. "Hagrid just got his diploma over the summer, he's taking his place." he said and Percy covered his eyes. "Hagrid don't over do it, after the Acros, and the Cerebus." he said then and he nodded

"I knew the story, but without the creator access codes, I wasn't sure, he's supposed to be dead right now." he said and they nodded. "Did he start shedding, ever since the story came out." he asked and Percy nodded. "Yeah he's losing fur tufts like you wouldn't believe." he said and they nodded."Then he knows Sirius is coming after him, and he knows he's about to be exposed to us next, yeah alright Percy." he said to him then.

"So you've been holding him hostage all the time, so we just wait for confirmation, in the form of said map, if there's creator control codes on it. So Harry, as the heir to its ownership, can deactivate them as they reveal themselves finally. In exposing said rat, if Scabbers now is Peter, yes okay, thank you for the warning." he said and they nodded. "Harry's in training at the academy right now, Alastor." he said to him then.

"Summer training till we got back, well that keeps him out of trouble, he must have learned more from you and Alastor then he ever did at Hogwarts." he said and Crouch nodded smiling gently. "That's what he said, but he translated things, that diary was a horcrux, we destroyed three more, and there's one inside him. The goblins confirmed it, we're going to muggle means of execution, to kill it." he said and Arthur nodded then.

"It's worse Arthur, it's not just he hijacked her, he, as his book self, mentally raped her, taunting him, he took the fang to the diary and killed him. But no lasting damage is a bunch of hippogriff manure, she's emotionally still very fragile. Harry's as traumatized as she is right now, by how close he came to losing her that day. She's everything to him right now." he said softly and Arthur nodded sternly to the news then.

"You see this from his point of view?" he asked and Crouch nodded sternly. "He's been showing us the climax, of both school terms for the last month right now. Getting us enough to create an airtight court case for Dumbledore, in truth here. I been bringing him up to speed on our way of life, and he's changed in one month. Into a scion of an Ancient wizarding family, and one of my level now." he said and Molly nodded sternly.

"Thank you for the warning, this explains her nightmares, she's been dreaming about the chamber." she said and he nodded. "Harry took a fang to his arm, in saving her life, but this scared her even more, she thought she lost him. In knowing how potent that venom is, said remark, and of he's at Hogwarts, Sirius means Peter. Peter is the true traitor, but we have to make him think he's in the clear." he said and they nodded then.

"Hey mom." Percy said smiling and she hugged him tightly. "Thank you for doing that, so you and Harry been protecting us all that time, that's no excuse here. For Ronald to get on his case, just because you, Ginny and Harry were hiding this from him. And from Hermione, if they think he's whatever the muggles call this, then the realization. That he's right is going to be damage their friendship." she said and he nodded sternly.

"I heard the arguing, he's in shock Harry's being this openly caring with her, and wants to keep them apart, and you just tore him a new one?" he asked and she nodded sternly. "Uh huh, it's none of his business what they do in their relationship, but thank the gods, for those trips to the village. As Harry can spend some with her, but protect these guys, and Hermione this year, don't give Peter a reason to go human now."

"What's going on in there, honey?" Arthur asked and she smiled. "I put it to 3,500 galleons for the twins and Percy right now, the same for Ginny and Ron. But nobody is spending it all at once, we need to get their school supplies here tomorrow." she said and they chuckled and nodded. "I take it you heard all that right now?" he asked and she nodded. "Indeed I did, I thank you for the warning, Barty." she said and he nodded.

"Yes okay, so Peter could possibly Scabbers, correct?" she asked and he nodded to her then. "We need the map, and Harry to deactivate the creator control codes, you been holding him hostage all this time, possibly." he said and she nodded. "The kids are going shopping tomorrow, so we have a cat spot him, at the pet shop. Said cat knows an animagus, when he sees them, okay, thank you." she said and he nodded to her gently.

"His cat is half kneazle, but if she gets a copy, we know got a hit." Percy suggested and they nodded. "He told Argus and Severus, they know, and Sirius is spending the semester at the Hog's head." he said and Percy nodded. "Yeah that works, off the beaten track, it's prohibited to go up there." he said and Crouch nodded. "I'll take care of him, but Professor Lupin and I got guard duty, during practice." he said and she nodded smiling gently at that remark then.

"George, Fred, could you come out here please!" she called out and they walked out then. "Hey Sir, what's going on mum?" Fred asked and he explained that. "Based on said report, everything coming this year, is based on Dumbledore's preconceptions of the greater good. So could you and Lee, when we don't have a village trip, keep Harry and Ginny guarded?" she asked and he nodded smiling. "Get the team involved, yeah we can." George said and she smiled in relief.

"The Diary was a horcrux, his horcrux, Tom Riddle is him." Crouch said and they nodded in shock. "Harry stopped his return at the obstacle course and again last semester and the second, was a piece of his soul, and he connected the dots, and realized that's the first!" Percy said smiling and he nodded. "Yep, so why was he covered in blood, when they came to Minerva's office?" Molly said and he sighed. "The fang struck his bicep." he said and they nodded then.

"We never took muggle medical care, what would cause that much blood?" she asked and he sighed. "In stabbing it through the head, he got stabbed into what they call the brachial artery, it's one of 5 main arteries that, if struck. Can cause you to bleed to death, adding the venom it was close, any closer we'd have lost him. And in addition to killing the one inside him, we'd have lost him too, were it not for Fawkes." he said and they nodded, relieved they never did then.

"Bro really, you keep this up, we're not making it to 20." George said gently and Percy nodded then. "That same arm got struck by a rogue bludger, before Colin got petrified." he explained and Crouch nodded gently. "I think we're in this together, Ron's the bad egg, you're the good egg, you're the one taking care of us, and we take care of him, with us being his team mates." Fred said and Percy nodded. "Agreed, but I'm head-boy this year." he said and Fred nodded.

"We got 4 more hits, there's one in Harry, and we found three more, in the relics, at the school." Crouch said and they smiled in delight. "Oh that's excellent, this war is ending, before it begins!" she said in delight at that news. "Twins, Percy, you need to get Granger and your brother off his case, that report, he just remembered, finally. That she's pregnant, after the cops did what's called an autopsy, they found an 8 month old baby, it's a girl." he said and they leaned back.

"He's 13, she is no older than Gin!" Fred asked and he nodded, and they nodded. "Yeah this is too much, not only did he kill his parents, he's not an only child, bro, don't lose it. We'll find him, but getting yourself killed won't help us, baby." Percy said gently then and she nodded then. "Yes and now I'm furious, we all know his emotional state, he's working over time right now, during Halloween." she said, wiping the tears off her face and Arthur nodded sternly.

"Don't go looking for Black, let him come to you, we know he's innocent, we just have to find Peter, or you give him the map back, boys." he said and they froze. "Our map, who are Black, Lupin and his father exactly, if he is going by Bambi?" Fred asked and he smiled. "Your idols." Crouch said and they smiled. "They're the…!" Fred said and he nodded. "They are, Harry's nickname is based on James's animagus form, the stag." he said and they smiled in delight.

"Rufus, Alastor and I spoke to Sirius personally, what he would tell Harry is exactly what happened, and Remus's explanation, everything Harry said, is just that, all true." he said and they and Percy nodded. "So Harry's the heir and rightful owner of our map, okay, we understand, well one christmas present, by cloak, that's his next, followed by. If we lose his broom, a better more enhanced broom, this Christmas." George said smiling and he nodded.

"I read his report in Witch Weekly, and I agree with everything he said right now, that saying a wolf deserved it, if they're muggle, is like saying whoever's parent. Or relative, as the case maybe, with your uncles, deserved it by Riddle, because they're a half. Or pureblood, it's cold blooded and callous, like he speculated right now, Emma, Beth, Mary and Emily. We all read the Weekly, and to us, we're all seeing passed the grandfatherly tact to pull us into submission."

"His tact does not work on me anymore here in truth, Dumblefore promised your father, Charlie and Bill would not get hurt, that if something happens to your father. By being in the Order, Dumbledore can't explain this away with his talk of the greater good. And a gentle twinkle of his eyes, your father is dead, that can't be taken back, twins, Percy." Molly said sternly and Crouch nodded in agreement. "So it's true, Riddle is him, Vol…" George said, trying to get it out then.

And they both nodded. "Yes, and this was too much in Harry's eyes, the same man that killed his parents, is the Heir of Slytherin." she said and he nodded. "I'm not going to tell you what else he did to her, as Harry's doing that for me here, once he exposes him. And to Dan and Emma, let alone Amos, Xeno and Aggie right now, your sister's going to heal. That's all that matters, but it's a mistake, anyone younger then you could make." She said and they nodded.

"We never lost anyone, that's all that matters this round, it's nothing, but a bad memory now, but he needs us, more then ever right now." Percy said sternly and she nodded. "Based on said report, he's been having nightmares for weeks, and working through the night studying." Crouch said and they nodded. "Two close calls in two years, now the fight with the basilisk, is causing PTSD, yes, baby needs this round off right now." she said and the twins nodded sternly then.

"Your brothers, that's why you're scared to let us join in, you lost the twins, you don't want to lose us, Percy, Bill and Charlie, or dad, too. We understand mum, it's okay, but the faster we destroy them all, the faster you can relax. As we kill him too, for nearly killing Ginny and Harry last semester now." George said and she nodded. "Yes and I love Harry like another son, but your brother needs to get over his insecurities and jealousy." she said and they nodded then.

"Harry's got the school relics, there's going to be a presentation he's giving that night, saying the war is nearing its end, the sword of Gryffindor, has righted. In what the Heir has done to their house founder's relics, and presenting them to you as proof, they've been cleansed. By Goblin, so time to return to their houses, but Harry's legend, just got a serious publicity boost. By presenting the evidence, 4 in 3 months now." he said and they chuckled and nodded smiling.

"Yeah Harry has done so much for us already, and the storm that struck our vault, and we've got even more to be thankful for, we got plenty of money for food. Clothes, and everything else, we can afford everything that the supremacists can afford. And saying of which right now, we can get a cat, and them a couple new broomsticks, along with the books. And school supplies, and new clothes too." Percy said and she and Arthur nodded smiling in agreement to that.

"So Lupin is a wolf and Harry's dad's is a stag, what about the duo?" he asked and Arthur nodded. "Sirius is a Deerhound." he said and they nodded. "Wormtail, a rat, so Pettigrew is a rat, okay got it and thank you, but if we're caged on weekends. Then what he suggest for entertainment, between now and the season starts?" he asked and he smiled, and passed them the new regime and they read it and smiled. "That works." Percy said and the twins nodded.

"Yeah that's wicked, we can do this." he said to him and they sighed in relief. "Where is he exactly?" Percy asked and he nodded. "At the inn right now, school starts in two days, so you know the routine." Crouch said and they nodded. "Yeah, seeing him touch her, with love, says it all to us, they're happy, healing and in love." Fred said smiling and Arthur chuckled. "Alright now that we know, we can handle this, as we get ready, well come on boys, love, time to shop."

"Kids, time to go, we got some shopping to do, and we're getting dinner, before we settle in, but we're meeting up with Harry at the Inn, in three days, before we head for the Station together." he said and they nodded smiling….

Reunions And Returning To Hogwarts-Harry's POV:

After investigating my books and discovering what kind of book the care of magical creatures book was, I realized that book was a lethal weapon, as I tied it up. And then boxed it, before stepping out then, before hearing a gentle inquiry, a roar and a door slamming shut. "I'll come back later." I heard, and started laughing at that, before hearing a growling and then squeaking, as a cat and rat ran passed me. "Whoa hold it, guys." I said and the cat stopped then gently.

"Scabbers, get downstairs, right now, before you get lost, we leave in hour for the train." I said and he squeaked an okay Master at me, and ran downstairs. "Tibbles that you, you follow me here?!" I asked and he mewed a no, before giving me a meow. "Not Tibbles, if he's my look alike, at my current age, Master, my name is Crookshanks. But if you know rat there, then you know I'm belonging to your trio, Mistress." he said with a meow and I nodded.

"Hey boy, who do you belong to?" I asked and he mewed at me. "Kitten brown fur, in pink fur coat, she have brown eyes?" I asked and he mewed a yes and I nodded, knowing that meant my friend Hermione and he was her cat then. "Where's Master Dan, if you belong to Mistress Mione?" I asked he gave a sighing mew. "Master Dan left you and Mistress with Madam Mistress red fur, till we board loud snake like box, on metal street?" I asked and he mewed gently then.

"Mew?" he asked and I nodded. "Yeah I'm mistress's kitten brother, my name is Harry." I said and he mewed a second time. "Mistress and family red fur are here, that's great." I said and he mewed as I headed down the stairs, as he followed me as I heard the arguing. "I'm warning you, Hermione: Keep that beast away from Scabbers, or l'll turn it into a tea cozy." he said and I sighed. 'He's a cat Ron, what do you expect, it's his nature.' I thought to that remark gently.

As I heard my sister, Hermione Granger, say my thoughts out loud. "He's a cat, Ronald, what do you expect: lt's in his nature." she said and he said it with a sneer. "A cat? Is that what they told you? Looks like a pig with hair." he said and I crossed my arms. 'Oh, well that's rich coming from the owner of that smelly old shoe brush." I thought to that sternly, before she did it again. "That's rich coming from the owner of that smelly old shoe brush." she said, before saying it.

"That's right Crookshanks, just ignore the mean little boy." she said and I said it. "No kidding, and guys, enough of that already, Mione, I ran into the cat upstairs. He told me you guys just arrived." I said and they smiled. "Harry!" they said in delight, as I came down, as I exchanged hugs with them. "The cat is a familiar, I can talk to mine that way too." I said and they nodded smiling then. "Mum's cat, he looks like your's." I said and she smiled and nodded to the news.

"Same breed then." she said and I nodded. "I think so right now, they both look like a red Persian, but seem to be smarter then a normal cat. How was your summer, enjoy yourself in Paris?" I asked and she nodded. "Yeah thank you, you?" she asked and I smiled. "Been a crazy three weeks, hey guys, beautiful." I said and Ginny smiled as she hugged me tightly. "You okay, we just got the news here, we been getting Witch Weekly in Cairo, mum read the story now."

"Your version of it, and believes every word." she said and I smiled. "Her brothers huh, she's scared I understand that, but I never saw her brothers, but I understand perfectly. But you're her, the twins are her elder twin brothers, it's perfectly justifiable here, her fears now. You lost family, I did, Neville, Dean, and Susan, we're all in the same boat, so to speak. But whoever says it, is getting that remark thrown at them, but Remus is safe." I said and she smiled then.

"We get why here, and you're right, that's like saying whoever's parents deserved it by Riddle, because they're purebloods, he's a good man, he never deserved that." she said and I nodded in agreement. "Guys, I asked my personal family elf, or rather Dobby, to do the cooking from now on, because the school's cooking, it could be tanked." I said and they all nodded. "Tanked, you mean you think Dumbledore drugged it to keep you loyal?" she said and I nodded gently.

"Yeah, but 3 months out of our systems, nobody's getting short tempered here." I said and they sighed in relief. "Well that's a relief right now, and after everything we been through, this is too much right now. Crouch told mum, where the fang struck home honey, she's worried out of her mind about you, getting overly protective." she said and the elder trio nodded in agreement. "Hey Bambi, had an okay summer?" Fred asked me and I chuckled at that remark then gently.

"Yeah Thumper, thanks, hey Buster." I said to the twins and they chuckled at their new names. "Hey little brother." Percy said and I smiled. "Hey Perce', so how was the trip guys, Egypt. What's it like?" I asked and Ron showed me the clipping. "Brilliant. Loads of old stuff: like mummies, tombs, even Scabbers enjoyed himself." he said as she was holding the cat. "Hey Crookshanks, want some bacon, I don't eat pork anymore." I said and he mewed gently then.

And with a 'yes, thank you' in the tone, and she set him on the bench, as he sat down, to eat his bacon. "I'm a cat person, my parents cat followed me to Privet Dr." I said and she and Ginny nodded. "I take it he looks like him, or is related to him, if you asked him that question?" Percy asked and I nodded. "Yeah, he could be from the litter 5 down from Tibbles, but trust me you don't want to know why I said that on the pork, it's nauseating." I said and he nodded gently.

"You know Egyptians used to worship cats." she said smiling to me and I nodded. "Yeah that and Falcons, Crocodiles, Hippos, and Heron." I said, and she smiled. "Hey ow, watch where you put that, before you burn the table to the floor!" I heard from the next table over, as something went flying across the room and landed on our table. "Hey whoever is messing with the silverware, don't over do it, that's a good way to poke an eye out." I said in response to that.

As I was turning to who caused it to get thrown across the room and Percy started laughing at that. "Point taken, as for your remark, on Egyptian mythology and such guys, yeah along with the dung beetle." Ron said in response with a bemused smile. "Want for better word, Pigs were not highly valued back then, but sheep and cattle were here at the time, as was chickens. But be thankful here now, that they never crossed the line, between real and make believe."

"You remember Frasier's version of The Mummy." she said and I nodded. "Yeah and apparently they crossed the line here, but that's taking cruel and unusual punishment. And to a whole new level here right now in this case, but if we thought fiction is dangerous. Reality is even more so, hence everything we studied, is playing out in the cosmos." I said to her then and everyone listening to our conversation nodded with a bemused smile, over the Egyptian studies then.

"I take it that's connected to this program you told Barty about?" Tom asked from the bar counter with a smile and I nodded. "Yes Sir, and that's why we have all the advancements, we do in the muggle world, being muggle, or muggleborn. That's not a bad thing, we should enjoy being who we are, with Death Eaters trying to take it from us. We had a life prior to being wizards, we should cherish and enjoy it." I said and we heard a cheer of agreement to that.

"Yeah we agree with that right, if there's more to your ways then we thought, we can learn something from you here that's worth more here. Then what the village has to offer here, something more fun then new privileges this year, with us 5 to 7 years." Fred said smiling and I nodded. "Yeah but that surprise given out, that Crouch told you, the castle granted me full access, and I can turn it, that's the room of requirement, into what we call a movie theater."

"And so you can watch muggle movies, if my guess was correctly, Dumbledore's an anti muggle activist, if he's arguing over everything, but with your birthday on the way Mione. Severus and I got a little surprise in store for you this year, but we get a year off, make normal. And enjoy things till the season starts, but with it being the week of said full moon. We're expecting a lot of werewolf movies jokes coming into the conversation, Severus is doing his class that week."

"With him recovering, as the week of said, it takes alot out of you." I said and they all nodded to the news. "Thanks for the warning, well that explains why, instead of everything, that we would normally learn that week, with us studying red caps and hinkypunks right now. That with it being Halloween, we get wolves as said subject for the week right now instead now." she said with a bemused smile. "Over sized fuzzball." Fred said then and Tom chuckled at that remark.

"But even a man pure at heart, that says his prayers at night, can become a wolf when the wolfsbane blooms, and the autumn moon is bright." I said and she nodded. "And that's a subtle hint there, aconite is meant to repel werewolves." she said and I nodded. "Well given that we got a lunatic one attacking children that's a given, but make sure you don't go out. He's gone without it for this semester, only I can control them." I said and they all nodded sternly then.

"Well here's a question, why is it when they switch places, did Kessler's eyes turn gold exactly?" Percy asked and I explained that. "It's because said wolf is in control, but the phasing process is like the worst migraine headache you could ever have. Followed by the worst withdrawal from alcohol and drugs, as your body is changing on molecular level. If you're an Ancient born, the build up of power from your force lightning, causes your body temperature to go up now."

"Used to phasing all the time, he was an animagus, before becoming a wolf." I said and they nodded in shock. "Yes I see why you wanted Ryan shot now, that's the cruelest, most inhumane thing I ever heard of here." Tom said and Percy nodded in agreement to that. "Then this explains Remus, and why you said rather than them, Luke, Greyback now, in truth. Said is who we should hate: these wolves never deserved this, this persecution." the cook said to that.

"And again we're very impressionable boys and girls, keep it clean, did you edit said movies, for the PTA." she asked and I nodded. "Yeah I did, but I chose Silver Bullet and IT, that fits the subject on the Boggart training, we're learning from Remus." I said and then smiled. "And Clue, you remember, da, da, da, da da da, I am, your singing telegram." I said, before we heard something explode, and the back door slam shut and they started laughing at that and nodded.

"Okay point taken, same movie as the magical version of us coming to get you, after the twins and I borrowed dad's car." Ron said with a chuckle, as Ginny was shaking in laughter then and I nodded. "Yeah secondary search of the house, triple murder in the dark." I said and they nodded smiling. "We're not doing this all day, which ending did you choose exactly right now?" she asked, and I smiled. "The real one, before Mckean revealed himself." I said and she smiled.

"I can help edit, but Scarlett and the real one, the argument over the bullets is hilarious." she said smiling and I nodded. "I love this movie, but killing him a second time, well he's certainly dead now, why would anyone want to kill him twice exactly." I said and Fred closed his eyes then. "That seems so un-necessary." She said in response. "Well that's what we call over kill." Ron said and I nodded. "What we call a total psychotic." I said in response to that gently.

"Unless he wasn't dead before." Fred said, concluding why I had to kill Riddle for the third time, in 11 years, since I started school and I looked at him over my shoulder. "What's the difference here, he's dead, so how many times we got to kill him exactly!" I said and Percy ended it, as he tried to control his laughter. "Alright cut, guys we get the point, but you keep that up, Ginny and George are going to die laughing, now enough already." he said smiling and we all nodded.

"I told the muggleborns, to bring their favorite muggle books, as you get a taste for muggle literature, here, read this, this is pre chapter 1, of a sci-fi series. Called Starwars, it's basically the muggle version to this situation, between us and Riddle. Ginny, I bought these for you, they're basically muggle pegasi books." I said and they took them. "Said horse is a beautiful." she said and I nodded. "Yeah his counterpart's name was Beauty." Mione said to that smiling.

"Alright you two, we're not doing this all day, break it up." Fred said smiling and we nodded. "But guys listen to me, if you know already, Crouch told you, then you know I don't want to clarify, more study, more training, and you and me Gin. But honestly I want a year off, no adventures." I said and the quartet nodded. "Yeah Crouch told us, your mother was pregnant, but we understand, after nearly losing you and Gin." Percy said and I nodded gently in relief.

"What's baby's given name, if she was here, if we came to get both of you, as she's Ginny's age?" Fred asked and I smiled. "Rosalie, nickname Rosie." I said and they nodded. "So Rosie, Luna and me, okay that works, if I had her, I never would have been jacked. I love your sister like a sister, but she's my sister in law." she said and I nodded smiling softly. "Yeah and the bloody rat is not getting away with it, she's an exact copy of mum." I said and she nodded.

And Percy squeezed my shoulder. "So you got your mother's personality, but your father's appearance, she would have your father's along with your mother's eyes and appearance." Mione said and I nodded. "Yeah, but this is killing Severus, what I put in there, all true right now, in an apology, he got them in witness protection. But thinking Riddle would come after him, Sirius switched at the last minute, only Dumbledore was witness." I said and she nodded.

"Dumbledore knew all along Sirius was innocent and didn't say anything, why?!" she said in shock and I nodded. "He wanted him out of the way, so he could shape things to his grand design, only I just took my scion position." I said sternly, as I stuck my ring on my hand then and she nodded. "Miss Granger, not now, behind that grandfatherly appearance, is a dangerous mastermind, but 90% of our world agrees with Harry." Tom said sternly to that response.

"The fifth is inside me, so if the bloody things stop the train, it's because, instead of attacking me, they're sensing more soul then necessary. Crouch told me the side effects, so instead of me, is Riddle is hearing my mother's last minutes, before she died." I said and they all nodded then. "That explains in why you would collapse, if they did board us, okay." Fred said and I nodded. "Severus and I had a long talk, we're okay now." I said and they nodded, smiling.

"We understand, but he was right about said payment, dad, in checking my vault, you nearly gave him a heart attack, by the number you passed to me Harry." Mione said, bemused at that. "Well if not just you, then Colin, Justin and Penny too, but you deserved your money back, for that joke of a year last year, but Ginny and me, H&G Potter." I said and Percy chuckled. "Nice subtle hint, putting in there something only I understand." he said smiling and Tom chuckled.

"Coming to an understanding finally, I met the Kesslers, everything's cool now, we fixed our differences, and Petunia and me, we're good now. It's exactly as I said, after losing mum, she blames him for this, and destroying David's life. By not killing the ferals sooner, Ryan was a Greyback." I said and the trio nodded. "He's a Greyback member, okay that makes sense, shoot to kill Greyback pack members, but leave Remus, David and the Renfield alone right now."

"As for said conversation, of the magical version to that debate, over this muggle motorist like you said, I hear that coming out of dad, of the debate, every year for the last 6 summers. Till we got a new one and this time, instead of them borrowing the car, I could have come. Now to get you, I'm less likely to get caught, because I've gotten my license that night. In telling him, you're spending the rest of the summer with us." Percy said and Mione started laughing then.

"While Remus is meeting us on the train, he's a member of dad's gang, so want to bunk with us this time, keep us together." I said and they nodded smiling to the news at the remark. "Sure, we can meet Mooney." George said to me. "Hey kids, good to see you, have a good summer, Harry." I heard and turned smiling to my mother in law. "Mrs. Weasley." I said to her smiling. "Good to see you, dear." she said and I smiled. "Good to see you." I said to her then gently.

"Got everything?" she asked and I nodded. "Yes." I said and she nodded as she clarified it then. "Yes? All your books?" she asked and I nodded. "lt's all upstairs." I said and she nodded. "Your clothes?" she asked and I nodded. "Everything's there." I said and she nodded. "We know and yes I agree with you, your bashing the supremacists, by that definition of purity. The Renfield pack and Remus never deserved that, and Kessler certainly didn't." she said and I smiled then.

"Issues in our family, just can't stay out of trouble, huh?" I asked and she chuckled and nodded. "Yes and please do this year, no adventures." she said and I nodded. "I promise, no adventures, I can't leave campus anyway, Vernon, Remus and Sirius never signed it. So Cub stuck, till he's arrested finally, or escapes a second time." I said and she and Arthur smiled. "And there's my favorite son in law, you understand." He said smiling and I looked down, smiling at that gently.

"And we are family indeed baby, family-in-law, we're your family-in-law, one boy and 6 girls, Penelope's the first right now." she said and I nodded smiling. "Harry." Arthur said and I shook his hand. "Mr. Weasley." I said and he nodded. "Harry, wonder if I might have a word?" he said and I nodded. "Yeah, sure." I said as he smiled at Mione, and I brushed my arm across Ginny's back, before nudging Percy with my shoulder, and they nodded, knowing we had to talk.

"Hermione." he said and she smiled. "Good morning, Mr. Weasley." she said and as I joined under the stairs, so we could talk. "Looking forward to a new term?" he asked gently and I nodded. "Yeah: It should be great." I said and he nodded. "Harry, some within the Ministry would strongly discourage me from divulging what l'm about to reveal to you. But l think that you need to know the facts, you are in danger: Grave danger." he said and I nodded gently.

'Yeah he read my speculations, and I just opened his and Molly's eyes to the truth, he's worried about us going to school, even more my emotional state.' I thought gently to that. "Has this anything to do with Peter Pettigrew, Sir, I just remember what I know here. Regarding his falling out with dad and the duo, his attempted murder of Uncle Sev'?" I said to him then. "What do you know about Peter Pettigrew, Harry?" he asked and I nodded as I explained that then.

"Only that he's escaped from Sirius, and was been captured by you, but that's all I know, was Sirius at the ministry?" I asked and he nodded. "Yes and he explained everything, needless to say, learning your current emotional state, I'd never been more furious right now. You know I love you like another son, but the details, based on what we speculated, on Sirius. Are now reversed on him, but do you know why?" he asked and I shook my head gently then to him.

"Thirteen years ago, when you stopped..." he started to say trying to get it out and I said it for him then. "Sir if you can't say the name, just call him Riddle, he's a half blood." I said and he nodded, sighing in relief, as he said it then. "When you stopped You-Know-Who, Pettigrew lost everything, but to this day, he still remains a faithful servant. And in his mind you are the only thing, that stands in the way of You-Know-Who returning to power." he said and I nodded.

"Makes sense, I cracked the key to his immortality, I stopped him 3 times, I'm his biggest enemy with him a shadow of his former self. Without me standing in the way, protecting everyone, he had no way to come back. I'm too well protected by you, my loved ones right now, in truth." I said and he nodded. "Indeed, no you and another war starts again, that's, we think, why he chose now to reveal himself, and Sirius to escape, arrest him, before he attempts it.
