Chapter 8: Dorms And A Moment To Think
"We get a movie list here?" Draco asked and I nodded, and passed him the ones I picked that the Muggleborn PTA and I chose. "Hopefully nobody starts getting cabin fever or this place is turning into a nut house next." Dean said and I smiled. "You need to ask, 3 movies are you know who…" I said and they smiled. "Alright, we love his movies!" 90 members of the muggleborns shouted in delight. "Who let that clown in here." Patrick's double said bemused.
Knowing immediately who we were talking about. "We already did that exchange, this is going to turn into a total case of movie jokes, till Christmas." George said and I nodded. "So why is a raven like a writing desk?" I asked and every muggleborn started laughing. "Why is a what?!" Cedric Diggory said and Penny stepped in. "Never mind, that Riddle has no answer, but the person asking that riddle, was as mad as a hatter, literally." She said and he started laughing.
"Not quite I finally read that book, Carroll said it's because it can produce a few notes, though they are flat and it is never put with the wrong end in front." I said and they started laughing. "Okay, but the question is coming from a lunatic, but that's going too far right now." Penny said smiling to that. "Whoever went to that joke is stark raving mad right now!" Daphne Greengrass said smiling as she called out to me from her side of the table, and Oliver nodded with a smile.
"Like she said, everything is nonsense in that world, they're also mad, so nobody do anything to aggravate them." Dean said through his laughter and everyone started laughing. "Alright: how many Disney movies did you chose exactly here, young man, because that's going too far?" The doctor asked with a bemused smile. "The entire golden age, to renaissance period, along with some of our best below PG-13 movies, Liam's in the grouping." I said and they smiled then.
"Awesome, The Haunting!" Oliver's counterpart asked and I nodded. "Yeah and Entrapment too." I said and they smiled in delight. "Liam is Liam Neeson, he's playing him." I said, pointing out the Jedi Master, on book 3. "Alright so he teaches him, gods is he cute." Ginny said smiling, looking at Obi-wan's just turned 13 year old self and the girls nodded. "That teenager grows up to become the Jedi Master that trains my double's son." I said and they nodded in amazement.
"Well here's a question, why is it nobody could see what that boggart was doing, but they could exactly?" Oliver asked and I nodded. "Because the trauma just unlocked their memories, by Pennywise hitting them with both barrels here. Psyche tests, you crack, you lose your mind, and he wanted them too, because it's afraid of them, knowing they were going to destroy him. As it's true self, after losing two members of their gang." I said and he nodded in understanding.
"We got trolls?" Alexander Parsons shouted from across the table. "We got Trolls, Ernest and Noah himself." I said and they smiled. "Nice, that was the age of wonder to us, Witches sabbath." a woman looking like Anne Lockhart said smiling. "That's actually why I chose that one professor, your double, we muggleborns all know who you 9 look like. As we love your doubles as actors, but currently her's is under scrutiny, after her remark." I said to her then.
And she nodded and Minerva paled, realizing she, her double, was connected to Alexandra Cunningham and Bathseba Babbling's doubles. "Nice reminder baby, Alex and I, as our doubles, saw her's as a mother, during that movie basis, but she had the presence of mind. To understand no one honor wizards or kings, before god, Minerva, that's a warning. You're walking a fine line between being let go and fired, for your listening to him." Kathy's double said to her.
"Are you all muggleborn?" I asked and she nodded. "We all are, Severus said 3/4's of us are, but never named names, but it's us, Ben, Jeremy, Jerry, Aurora, Kristine, Jeffrey and Elaine." she said and I nodded. "We got 3/4's of a certain tv show involved here, where's Andy exactly?" I asked, before I heard a voice call out. "I'm right here, Dora, your father and I joined in, so you got us here for the year." a voice that sounded like Gates McFadden said and we nodded then.
"Let me guess, Jeff and Kristine look like Martha and Will?" I asked and the doctor nodded gently. "The Secret Garden cast, the Professor's double, was playing the head of the household, but looks like we're going reverse here. Especially if your brother and Granger start hounding him, after he collapses a second time, and it's below freezing out there." Penny said to Percy and he nodded. "Thanks, but after nearly losing Ginny, it's over." he said to her gently.
"Don't ask, Ted, Emily and David chose the list, Dan and Emma with them." Sirius said with a bemused smile. "Harry, I wish to see you in the infirmary please, we need to talk, after dinner." the doctor called out and I nodded, as we settled in for dinner. "Just go ahead guys, I'll join you after my medical appointment." I said and the 11 shook their heads. "No you're our leader, we'll wait for you at the door, if she's doing it again." Seamus said smiling and I nodded gently.
"This character in truth, is a muggle version of a boggart, but his most well known form is a clown, but this clown took psychotic clown killers to a whole new level." I said and Ron nodded in understanding then. "Hey guys, second years, first years, with my not leaving the campus this year, there are other things we can do, and we're doing it in the room of requirement." I said and they nodded smiling. "Nice, our hero is with us." Colin Creevey said smiling to that.
"How many of you are muggleborn?" I asked and 60 of them raised their hand. "So how about a game of softball, the room of requirement can shape herself to anything." I asked and they nodded. "Yeah, yeah definitely, a game of baseball sounds great." Colin said smiling and I nodded. "What's happened to you, you're acting like you're 17." he added and I nodded. "Yeah I know, but I fell in love, if my sister was alive, she too made our dorm." I said and he nodded.
"I understand, I understand you miss her, but like you said, friend, kid brother." he said and I nodded. "Like Riker was pretending to remember his mother, well that's me entirely, knowing both sides the story here, I'm pretending Rosie is. And as I would see her right now, at your age of 12, the trio understands, and more than Ron does. To me Rosie is a princess, didn't matter if she drove me crazy, I love her anyway." I said and they nodded in understanding then gently.
"And that's callous, trying to take your mind off your pain, by breaking rules." Whoopi's double said sternly and the trio all paled at that remark. "We're muggleborns you old fool, we understand the concept of a trauma, you expect him to get over it just like that. Guess again, that's not going to happen, he needs time!" the doctor said sternly and Dumbledore swallowed hard, never thinking his was seen as cold blooded, to the muggle way of emotional traumas.
"Hey son, look forward to seeing you in class." Patrick's double said smiling and I smiled at that. "What's he talking about?" Mione asked and I explained that. "I dropped divination and switched it for him and Cunningham." I said and she nodded. "But you're still joining us in Hagrid's?" she said and I nodded. "Yep, Hermione, listen to me, but despite your faith in authority, after everything I ever did for you, just pretend here, or we fake this." I said softly and she nodded.
"Leading into school, if we reset the clock, what happens if he starts confunding me?" she asked and I smiled. "The serum." I said and she smiled sternly. "Nice, you and me, I love you like a brother, I belonged to you first right now." she said and I nodded smiling gently. "Seeing the future, that prophecy destroyed my life, so less about that, now that I completed. In 3/4's of it, I can relax, because the next to go is mine." I said to her gently and she chuckled then gently.
"We're the two smartest kids in class, but there we go right now, so you help me with Potions and Defense, me to you in Transfiguration, Charms and Potions, deal?" she asked and I nodded. "Deal, well I finally pulled it off, watch this." I said as I stood up, and yanked my wand, as I focused on having the duo back, and called it out. "Expecto patronum!" I called out, and my patronus appeared, expect mine took full form, and it was the shape of a stag then.
"Whoa, no one can get it on the first attempt and have it take full form, Harry, you're defense prodigy!" Fred said in shock and I nodded smiling, as Remus and Severus exchanged knowing smiles. "My parents were Charms and Transfiguration, Rosie would be Herbology, and I ended up with Defense, we love books, we love learning, but this. In truth is what they meant, we get noticed by the quidditch scouts, but some rather work the Educational scholarships now."
"There's more money in that, score higher than 1300, that's your ticket to every college in the country, my aim, before starting school here was Manchester." I said and they nodded. "Then I see why your aunt was so irritated right now, she wanted your mother to go a university. Not get involved in the war right now." Percy said and I nodded gently. "And that's another thing he has to answer for." Sirius said sternly and Dumbledore swallowed had at that remark then.
Ending the conversation at that, we settled in to eat dinner, "We're starting boggarts first, the said jinx was called riddikulus." I said and she nodded. "Yeah and after two years that class with two frauds is riddikulus." Draco said and I looked at him. "Yeah well so is saying a werewolf ate your homework, after you failed to turn it here. As neither your parents or our teachers will buy that, Draco." I said and everyone started laughing. "Point taken." Luke said with a chuckle.
"Don't you mean the dog ate your homework?" Dean asked him with a bemused smile and he chuckled. "If I was muggleborn, then yeah, but sorry Professor I don't have it.., the dog ate my homework." he said and I nodded. "Whoever gives me that excuse, I'm not buying it children, we're 3/4's muggleborn to half magic and full now." Ted said with a bemused smile. "Oops, dead man walking here, don't try it, before the Professor flunks you." Mione said and they nodded.
"Nice switch up, instead of dog is werewolf." Dean said, laughing at that. "Look I get that we're on duty tonight, but is it really necessary to make jokes at our expense here?" Remus said with a bemused smile, and I hid a chuckle. "Sorry, it's he's just been completely irritated at the last two charlatans, he wants a better teacher this year." Daphne said and he nodded. "Anyone ever see you fully, not from what we see in the legends, but movies?" Penny asked and he nodded.
"Yeah and I look like David, after he came into the light." he said and we nodded. "So wondering the halls tonight, bad idea, do that we're going to walk into you, you yourself. Or going Mooney as he calls your wolf?" Fred asked and he nodded. "The rest of this week, I'm me, but next month, I'm Mooney, so those nights, take the secret passages guys. The corridors are off limits, we're prowling the castle, on these nights, before taking it outside." he said and we nodded.
"Well we don't care, wolf yeah, but we love you anyway, Professor." Lee said and he smiled in affection, and Minerva sighed, realizing her strict attitude and unfair treatment. It did irreparable damage to her relationship with us, and they pulled in Remus to take her place. And reconfigured the faculty till school let out. "As for the headmaster's remark on Hagrid, he's on trial basis, but Mina is subbing if need be." Kingsley said and Dumbledore went pale at that.
"So said extraction message I found this, but in realization of this, but why would he wait till year 6, after he came back to tell me about this, after I lose Sirius?" I asked and they crossed their arms. "Because he knew here, he's dying so that saves him from the consequences here, before we find out, as he never intended to let you live to see 18." said substitute teacher said sternly and Dumbledore went even paler, knowing I knew what he intended to do with me then.
"Mina?" Ron repeated and he nodded. "More accurately Wilhelmina Grubbly-plank, or to you Professor Grubbly-plank." a witch no older than Minerva said then gently to him and he nodded. "Awesome here, so with that, I'll take the attempt, but Draco, just because I make it look easy, don't get cocky, or you're going to get hurt. But nice try Headmaster, I know this is an attempt to break the rules here." I said and he nodded, as Draco nudged me in the back smiling then.
As Dumbledore went white, as every attempt to control me, said was being circumvented, by the school security. And alterations to the faculty, as Sirius was head of Gryffindor, I didn't have him calling me to his office repeatedly. "As you said Headmaster, our head of house makes the decisions, Severus made that quite clear. That were we in Slytherin, our fate rested with him, that we'd be on the train home, tonight, only now, our new head of house is my uncle."
"But quite honestly, they could do this better and even blindfolded, with your ways a derelict." I said and he jerked, realizing I was right, he had no say in decisions, of my welfare. As Sirius had assumed full control of my upbringing. "Better training, better faculty, better school now this is more like it, after the first two years after you started were a joke, Bambi. Oops, yeah kids, Ted's taking over history of Magic class, Binns's is retired." Sirius said and we nodded smiling.
"We get mythology?" Mione and they nodded, smiling. "Yes Baby girl, I'm teaching Greek and Egyptian mythology this year now, so you guys understand. But culture references, look at the castle school grounds, based on Greek mythology. What is it exactly, your elemental symbol is fire, Slytherin is water, so what about us and Ravenclaw." Ted asked and we smiled. "You're Earth and Ravenclaw is air, so with that, Zeus, Athena, Demeter and Hades!" I said to him then.
"Very good, that's it exactly." Andy said with a chuckle. "Uncle Remus, who's in charge now exactly?" I asked and he smiled. "Madam Aggie has placed me in charge of the dorm, I'm your new head of house kids." he said and we nodded in delight. "What about the rest of us, with the duo, under his control supposedly here?" Penny asked and they nodded. "I'm your new head of house Miss Clearwater, and Andy has Hufflepuff." Kingsley said and we all nodded smiling then.
"Did everyone here believe my story, after I gave that exclusive?" I asked and 3/4's the school nodded. "Yeah we did, our parents, after you posted it to muggleborns and muggles alike, now see him as a total lunatic, and you're the one we should be following. You stopped him 3 times, you destroyed 4 horcruxes and are doing a 5th this winter. That yeah, your legend precedes, you even without with the lightsaber, you're the hero with no fear." Justin said and I nodded.
"That now they're seeing him, with him convinced of that, regarding the prophecy, they all see he finally just snapped. But it's like the reverse, Dumbledore, until Riddle came along, was the most powerful sorcerer in the world. Riddle comes along, and after you killed him, everyone is too afraid to say his name, you detained him for a while. Only now that you started school, you killed him or neutralized him twice, and now he sees you as a threat." Dean said to finish that.
"Us too, our mothers want you to kill him and get it over with, we maybe blood purists, but we're not death eaters, want to be free of that." Theodore Nott said sternly and Draco nodded in agreement. "Please, I understand here now, dad and his father are grooming us to become death eaters, we don't want this, we want our lives back. With you giving me a second chance, I take it back, we know how much the Weasleys gained in trying to hunt down Pettigrew now."
"I'm not sure about Crabbe and Goyle, but Teddy and I know what we want, we want our freedom back, we been in a peace process so long, that their fathers signalizing their return. Is too much, just kill him and get it over with, do it this Christmas, after you do your's next." He said and I nodded, knowing he was desperate, behind that cocky attitude of pureblood. Said was a confused and scared little boy, he didn't want to be a Death Eater, but protection by me.
"That's 5 down and two left, and I kill him at the same time, I kill the snake, before I catch that rat finally." I said and they nodded. "Based on intelligence, Albus thinks he's in Albania, but that could be a crock." Minerva said gently, shaking, and I nodded. "Then he's lying again, the buzzard is in Little Hangleton, which is 200 miles north of Little Whinging." I said sternly and she went pale and the quartet nodded sternly. "Uh huh, okay, so Alastor." Sirius said to him then.
"Done, Harold take the sword with us, we're going Horcrux hunting to finish this." he said and I nodded. "So the ring got cleansed bu Goblin, and the snake by the sword, I'm getting the venom, and we're done." I said and Sirius and Remus nodded smiling. "And the prophecy is over, as you kill him at the tournament, but I'm a clone, we're good, we finished it. And sooner then he wanted right now, the Boy Who Lived, we should call you the Hero With No Fear."
"But then you completely your prophecy, you achieved your quest, you deserve the right to live your life." Cedric said and I nodded. "Yes, but in truth, the only thing I'm afraid of is fear itself." I said and they nodded. "Indeed you have nothing to fear, but fear itself, this is very wise right now." Remus said smiling gently then at that remark. "I'm the last to go, but knowing there's a level 4 killing curse, on that ring, how stupid do you have to be, here right now, Headmaster."
"And to put the damn thing on, with your obsession with the hallows you old fool, huh, that's suicide, you're making sure you're dead, because if not, everyone's going eviscerate you?" I asked and he went white. "I knew there was darkness to your personality here, but Rita's act of digging up your sister's condition, was this revenge for that now. Did what they did to your sister cause you to see us as barbarians, that you decided to get even by doing it this way."
"By allowing something that cruel to happen to my uncle, by letting Adam to live right now?" I asked and he went white, and Mione nodded in disgust. "Well who do you think ordered him shot, after he escaped the night before?" I asked and he went white in shock. "David is mum's adoptive brother in law, I was supposed to go to him, if the sextet couldn't." I said and Mione nodded in understanding. "The fuzzball deserved it." she said sternly and Dumbledore paled.
"Yeah I think he's in shock here, you're sticking to your guns, we had the prime directive, Mione just fake it, because he tries the compulsion, but he's being arrested. And for hexing a minor right now, you earned the whatever it was, new headmaster. New rules here, so your loyalty is to Rodham now, the ministry." I said and she nodded. "You, my parents, our friends, you're all that matter to me, can't lose you and I won't." she said and Dumbledore went white at that.
"Yeah, guys, he's realizing his attempting to entice you with acceptances will not work, as you do the dirty work for him, by keeping Harry corralled. But too late, you both took the serum capsules already." Erica Taylor said and we nodded. "Was this was why Crouch is back in control of the MLE at the moment dad freaked, as he's considered the judge. And of everyone's worst nightmares, with him not tolerating law breaking." Draco asked and I nodded gently to him.
"Yeah, with the truth out, he let Sirius out on parole, but like muggle parole same rules apply, any violations, you blow it. After hearing that truth, he let him out, but he's given him a chance to do the job. That the one he was supposed to do, and gave him his title back, dad, if he was still alive right now. Would also be an auror right now, that that's what I'm training to be, hence my adventures, these previous two years." I said and 80% of Slytherin nodded then smiling.
"So what's the speculation on that ring exactly, if he died by book 7?" Wes Anderson asked and I nodded. "When he turned the ring into a horcux, anyone tempted to put it on, was going to be hexed with a killing curse, only this is a slow acting one, killing the hand that the ring was put on, before it spread to the rest of the body, you had only a year to live." I said and they nodded. "Sounds like a level IV any cancer, that's how they kill." Ted said sternly and I nodded then.
"Only the killing curse, is like getting shot to the heart." Penny said and I nodded gently. "Well prior to meeting you, everything I said was true, I grew up, pre hogwarts, in an abusive home. Because they're scared to let me come here, knowing what he intended to do, Stonewall high is actually code for the Academy, she was sending me there, while Dudley went to Smeltings. Before Dumbledore forced the issue by scaring them into submission." I said and they nodded.
"Well I see why dad was irritated by said hover charm." Cedric said and I nodded gently to him, and said smiling sternly. "That's all of them, destroy them all, before you lose your position of power, Headmaster, I completed my prophecy in less time than you expected now." I said and he swallowed hard. "My dear lady Hogwarts, when I'm going scouting, kindly prevent the leader of the Order, and his stooges from leaving the Castle and lock them in their quarters now."
"Remove the castle wards from control of Albus Dumbledore, Minerva McGonagall, Filius Flitwick and Pomona Sprout, as of now, they are under suspicion of attempted conspiracy. And sedition of my murder under your roof, your rightful owner my dear lady, so effective immediately. Change locks and make them triple locked, alarms system to alert me, they trying to reach it, my dorms, and everywhere I'm spending leisure time." I said and they all flashed in response.
"And further security on Gryffindor dorm please, as you know my friends and I are your protectors, either by security, or what not." I said and in response a key appeared and in 4 colors, next to me. "Uh huh, Dad, you better check this out, it could be full security." I said and he took the key and tested the lock as we heard doors locking all over the school. "Meow." Norris said and I nodded. "Yeah master stick to lock doors." I said and they started laughing.
"So hideaway blankie, master stick to lock doors, and magical paper tracker, there we go, be careful kitten if he's a rat, we kitties cover mouse holes too." she said with a gentle meow to me then and Mione chuckled. "Issues in the security devices right now, don't start abusing those things, but boys, once used for mischief is now used for security. So stop playing with those things right now, before you break anything else after the cabinet." Filch said and they nodded.
"After you take it outside, lock the doors here." Severus called out and Sirius nodded gently as he looked at the sextet and they nodded. "This is going to be a long 4 months guys, before school lets out for Christmas so be careful. I have 2 years, you have 4 and the quintet 5 and 6 years left, but enough of the pranks and practical jokes, before you break anything else." Percy said to the twins, and they nodded. "Change of personality?" he asked and Percy nodded then.
"I take it this was because ever since Harry started school, the points were unfair benefits, and unfair advantages?" Fred asked and he nodded. "That's the reason exactly Frederick, but I changed with knowing who it was that sold them out. But Slytherin things changed here, less favoritism this year clear, all of you focus, but work hard." Severus called out and they nodded. "Yes Professor." We all said together, in relief he changed, and we were completely equal now.
"Can the EWA do that?" Colin asked me and Neville nodded. "With the backing of the wizengamot, they can little brother, as such now, this old man's been outvoted. But they cast him out as head mugwump over the summer right now, he's the headmaster. And even that's in question right now right, they all think he's out of his mind, and because of Harry's report. Those of us that lost a relative to Death Eaters, we can't let that go." he said to him then gently.
"Yes and I'm your new authority in dorms, maybe getting to know me, but never mind, I'm fair, but I'm not un-necessary points, or taking them away. Because you got caught outside, when it wasn't a full moon, but this year is stricter security." Sirius said gently and she nodded. "I understand, so you and Professor Lupin are doing us, okay." she said and he nodded. "That's right the new heads of the pride is us now, baby girl." Remus said and Mione nodded gently.
"We doing those movies every Fridays and Saturdays?" Percy asked and he nodded. "Yes, and practice season starts on Saturday, but rather than once every 3 weeks, you get to go. And to Hogsmead every week now, but I want you back here, before 5." he said and they nodded. "Yes Sir, we will." the 3 to 7th years said together. "We'll be fine guys, we got plenty to do right now right now." I said and they nodded smiling, in relief, I took care of a few things then for them.
"Yeah, you're our leader." Luna said smiling from behind me then. "I'm taking this Saturday's round off, I'm going to stay here, so I can learn these sports." Neville said smiling and I nodded. "Neville, we need to plan it out, 2, 9, 18, 20, 8, 4, 1, 25: 13, 9, 15, 14, 5, but 19, 21, 18, 16, 18, 9, 19, 5." I said and he smiled at that. "Got it." he said and Whoopi's double chuckled. "Very good, that's a nice way to code it out, so no one understands." she said and we nodded then.
"That's the first thing you're learning baby." she said and I smiled then, before I headed for the infirmary. "You wanted to see me Sir, Madam Pomphrey?" I asked and they nodded. "Yes baby, I did, I needed your direct opinion, you think keeping things focused on your training. And study is best, say the suggestion that the doctor treating the narrator did?" he asked and I nodded. "I'd rather wear myself out, till I'm too exhausted here, physically and mentally here now."
"To dream anything." I said and she nodded. "Alastor gave us the report: you been dreaming about what happened in the chamber." she said and I nodded gently. "They keep getting worse, but the memory in the nursery, it's back completely, I keep seeing his wand pointed at me. Seeing the green flash every time I close my eyes, only I'm seeing the said robe on him, as I remember the obstacle course, with the snake next to him." I said and she nodded sternly.
"I understand the old fool is arguing over everything, school changes, the ministry is interfering at Hogwarts?" I asked and she nodded. "Yes and the school, knowing you can't trust 3 of it's ex 4 house leaders, put up locked doors, and access keys to get in. Only the MLE and we have keys, as does every adult muggleborn in school, with this a medical situation. Till he escapes, or better till you get the map back and expose him to us." she said and I nodded gently then.
"Well now it's your turn, but Peter is not just anyone's rat, he's Scabbers, I didn't check the map, but Percy found him when he was 5, they had that rat 12 years." I said and they nodded in shock. " So you never wanted him loose, and the cat is chasing him all over the place, yeah okay so with Sirius here now, he doesn't know Sirius found him already." Poppy asked and I nodded and they all nodded sternly. "That rat is not leaving his habitat." I said and she smiled.
"Indeed, we're creating a habitat for him, and he stays there." the doctor said sternly to that opinion. "Oh lovely, well this explains why your sister's cat is chasing him around, he knows, can't go human or he's never getting out of here alive right now. Okay we'll keep your secret till you expose him to us." Jeffrey Toddwell said and the doctor nodded sternly. "Harry, the headmaster tried to call you upstairs, but I just declined it." Sirius said as he came in then.
And I nodded. "Thanks, alright with Remus going wolf tonight, I'm taking the secret passage from here, as we have 45 minutes till they go wolf." I said and they nodded gently. "Son take this tonight, and your new regime starts tomorrow." the doctor said and passed me the bottle then. "Actually you can take the halls, and join your friends, as Seamus did say, they'd wait for you." Sirius said and I nodded smiling then, as I left the infirmary then and headed there.
"Fortuna Major." I heard Seamus say, and I knew she was doing it again, as I arrived. "Fast meeting?" Bem asked and I nodded. "Yeah they gave me dreamless potion, so you're not having me wake up in the middle of the night. PTSD, I'm seeing Riddle, more clearly than ever now after two encounters, magical exhaustion, and taking a fang to my arm." I said and they nodded. "Keep it up, we're not making it to 18, mate." Dean said to me and Ginny nodded.
"That's what we said, he keeps this up, we're not making it to 20 and 22 at this rate, you're our brother, best friend, we get overly protective." George said and everyone from Ginny's class to Percy's all nodded in agreement. "I take it you all read the reason, why we got in trouble and lost 150?" Mione asked and they all nodded. "Yeah and now that we know, we don't mind, but she should have done the same to Draco, make us even." Seamus said sternly and I nodded.
As she took my hand. "What's the hold up exactly, guys?" I asked and Seamus nodded, as he leaned on the bannister. "Here, listen, she just won't let me in." he said and I nodded. "Fortuna Major." I said, trying to get her to focus. "No, no. Wait, wait. Watch this." she said, trying it again, before the pitch suddenly went off key and we covered our ears. And before she broke the wine glass she was trying to shatter with her singing against the pillar behind her then.
"Amazing. Just with my voice." she said smiling and nodded, as we exchanged bemused looks at that. "Alright Amy, that's enough of that already, let us in please." Sirius said, arriving with an amused chuckle. "Hello Sirius, I'm glad you're not the one who did it, and it's good to see you, welcome home." she said smiling and he nodded. "Thank you, well my godson is taking his father's place here on this." he said and I nodded. "Fortuna Major." I said gently with a smile
"Yes, all right. Go in, cubs." she said smiling and we nodded. "Thank you." I said with a smile, as Dean tried to keep from laughing at that. "D.J. pull yourself together young man." Sirius said and I started laughing. "Dean Darren Thomas Senior and Junior, you're Junior, and he switched it to D.J." Mione said and she nodded, as she gripped his shoulder smiling, we exchanged smiles, as we shared a deep bond. "Who left the radio playing in here." I asked, smiling to this.
Hearing the theme song to Clue playing, I saw the cats dancing to the music, as they circled before doing the moon walk. "I never seen a cat that knows how to do the cha cha." Mione said and I nodded. "That's not the cha cha, they're square dancing, look at the movement." Katie said with a chuckle and I nodded. "Oh swing your tail doe see doe." a 5th year said with a laugh and we smiled. "Look at Hedwig." Ron said, pointing at my owl then and we saw her turning.
"What's next: Achy Breaky Heart." Dean asked and I nodded with a laugh. "Yeah and everyone loves that song, but seeing the cats dancing to that the way they are now. Said is going to be perfect, in our first dealing with said boggart, you ever seen a cat here. Said that knows how to square dance?" Mione asked and I nodded. "Or a spider on roller skates, how about, Snake getting turned into jack in the box." I said and they started laughing as we watched Hedwig.
And bobbing to the music as well and we started laughing. "Whoa, yeah dance girl." Fred said smiling and they responded to that. "Mew!" "Hoot!" they said together, as they put on a show for us and we chuckled and I nodded. "I think our parents in muggleborn updated the radioes, so we can listen to muggle music now, if that's playing on the radio. But songs from the 50's to the 80's, are less vulgar in rockbands, then they are now." I said and they chuckled and nodded.
"She loves muggle music evidently." Dean said with a chuckle then and she gave a yes hoot and we nodded with a chuckle. "Yeah you like the song, but I never seen a cat or owl that knows how to do square dancing." Colin said with a chuckle. "Yeah, but our pets are happy at a night off, before the trouble starts." I said and she gave a meow. "Yes but start going at it, you're kenneled if I get hit by white square kitten, settle down." Crystal said with a mew gently then.
And Ginny started laughing at that remark. "Was that song playing on the radio, before the dinner party started?" Percy asked and I nodded. "Yeah 1950's music, this song was created by an all black band, and everyone loves their music, but 1950, in the last time-line. That was considered what us muggles call the Cold War." I said, before a second started playing. "Alright turn it off, before we call it for the night, we need to talk." Sirius said and I moved to it then.
"Mew!" Crookshanks asked and I nodded. "This and then music box turns off." I said and they gave a mew to me, as we listened to Tutti Frutti next, and before it ended. "Hey Beautiful, have a good summer?" I asked and she mewed a yes, thank you to me then, as I ran my hand through her head fur and she started purring happily then. "Hey Karen." I said and she smiled gently. "Lord you changed in a hurry, there's our you." she said smiling and I nodded gently.
"Eric do that again, you're going to break something, so be careful with that thing." Sirius said and Taylor nodded. "I take it mum told you, it knocked the goblet off the table?" he asked and Sirius nodded. "Yes, but with Remus out right now, I'm going parent with you kids, Percy you got another year, before graduation, so your rank went up a notch, you're senior prefect, borderline head-boy, next year, with you the oldest, head boy." he said and they nodded.
"You knew this, the faster I get it done, the fast we can all relax now, Sis, he's not living passed year 4." I said and they smiled and nodded. "Indeed and with that in mind, will everyone settle around the middle of the room please." Sirius said and we all nodded, as Ron, Ginny and Mione. Then sat on both sides of me, before we heard howling, and I nodded. "Yeah they just went wolf, that's coming from Remus's office." I said to her and they nodded gently in relief then.
"Mew?!" Crystal said as her fur starting standing up then. "Yeah that's papa wolf he's looking for bad rat with his new pack." I said and they mewed gently in understanding. "Fred, when you get the chance, I need to make a copy, you keep the new one, we got the original." Sirius said and we nodded. "Guys we created showers set to your dormitory, so the secret passage leads to your shower rooms now, follow me please." he said and we nodded and took an adjacent tunnel.
To the ones lit in blue, red, that was marked by an cross, which us muggleborns knew that meant the hospital, and gold, and came out to a bathroom the size of an indoor swimming, with towers and robes hanging from the wall. And seeing our names on the wall, according to age, we all nodded. "Now guys, I want to make this understood, when you're in the shower, this door is locked till your turn is over, as you know, wizard bathtubs are the size of a swimming pool."
"So each age group, from 11 to 17 are sharing this bathroom, but as you can see, pool bathtub, slide and diving board, but nobody is throwing a party in here, okay." he said and we all nodded. "I saw gold and blue, does that mean…" Percy started to say and I nodded. "Yeah we're connected right to the duo." Fred said and I nodded. "So which one is which exactly." she asked and I nodded. "Split up and meet back at the fork." I said and they nodded as we did that.
Before walking about 10 meters I heard something get knocked over. "Ow, what the bloody heck was that exactly." "You tripped over a medical box, Alex, we're in the infirmary." Percy said bemused, as I back tracked, and I came out over the doors. "Problems already son?" the doctor asked and we nodded with a smile. "Yeah got turned around and Alex tripped over one of your emergency kits, doctor." I said and he nodded. "Be careful guys." he said and we nodded then.
As we headed in the other direction, and came out in a common room ordained by blue and bronze. "Percy!" I heard and smiled, knowing we just ended up in Ravenclaw. "Hey Harry." Luna said smiling and I hugged her. "Hey Wolf, alright, we can visit each other, but can't leave the dorms at night." I said and she nodded. "So we use the secret passage between us." Penny said and I nodded. " See you in the morning, ladies." Percy said and they nodded gently to us then.
As we walked back to our dorm, before Mione came in a second later. "I ran into the girls, Justin and Ernie, they're investigating the passageways as well." she said and I nodded. "Well with us caged at night, we can go between dorms, and by these, Remus knows that. But when not on it, he forgets that part, as Mooney doesn't understand this, indoor tree tunnel here. David forgot, and kept forgetting that we had clones." I said and they nodded then, before we heard a howl.
And we went charging back into the common room. "That was the portrait, Sirius was testing out the security alarm, in case the headmaster tries coming in here." Neville said and I leaned forward in exhaustion and relief. "Yes and we installed a key security system at the door, so and I'm doing schedules in here. And before you come down for breakfast, so take your time, so once I turn this key, a magical forcefield activates, so he or the quartet can't come in now."
"And again Harry with my being your head of house, you don't have to listen to the headmaster, or deputy headmistress. They're dangerous here, after you gave that demo tonight, as you dismissed her thoughts, and came to your own conclusion. So school starts at 9, finishes at 3:45." he said and we nodded then. "Okay everyone up at 7:30, showers from 8 to 8:30 and we all assemble here for morning session." Percy said and we nodded smiling at the remark then.
"Lights out at 10:30, I mean it, no sneaking out, once in the dorms, everyone stays in here, from 8p.m. to 8a.m. clear?" He asked and we nodded to the orders. "As for the rat." he said gently, and swung his wand, and created a habitat for Scabbers. "Ronald, your rat is to stay in his habitat at night starting now, leaving him out is a good way. To have the cat attack him, so we lose him, then it's your fault not taking better care of him." he said sternly to him then.
And he nodded, sighing. "Yes Sir, are we seeing the rest of the upgrades tomorrow after school?" he asked and we nodded in agreement. "Yes, but with it being a long day, it's time to settle in for the night, so we'll see you in the morning, nice cubs, sleep good. And son, I want you to take that, before you get in bed, it's fast acting." he said and I nodded. "I will, see you in the morning, Uncle Sirius." I said and they nodded in agreement, as he left the room then.
"Man mate, I think he took being the responsible parent to a whole new level." Ron said and I nodded. "Has too with Peter on the loose." I said and Mione nodded, as we heard singing from outside and started laughing. "Still doing that after 3 years." Seamus said smiling and I nodded. "She can't even sing." I said in response and he nodded. "Exactly." he said and the 11 nodded. "Anyone that needs to use the bathroom, do it now please." a teenager, looking like Baker.
Then, said it to us then. "William David Baker?" I asked and he nodded, smiling. "That's right kiddo, this is my sister Sarah." he said, looking at a 16 year old girl. "Nice to meet you Billy, Sarah, you know who I am." I said and they nodded smiling gently. "Guys what time is it?" Mione asked and he checked his watch. "That's 8:45, he said here, that we're supposed to be in bed at 10, lights out at 10:30, but after repeated pumpkin juice…" he said and we nodded then.
"Yeah good idea, everyone needing a toilet, use the bathroom." Oliver said and we nodded, and headed for the showers, as we washed up and headed back to the dorms then. "Alright guys, bedtime now." Percy said and we nodded and we walked up there as we saw a ghost float in. "Hey, man." Seamus and I said together gently, before Bem walked right through him, and got his plasma on him then. "Oh, God." he said in annoyance to that firmly as he got it out then.
"That's awful." Mione said and I nodded. "Night girls, sweet dreams now." I said and she, the twins and Lavender smiled. "Night Harry, guys." They said together, as Ginny hugged me good night. "Sweet dreams my love." I said and she smiled at me, before going to bed herself, and Percy smiled, as we headed for bed. "Night bro." Percy said and I smiled. " Night Percy." I said and climbed the stairs, to get into my room, that was marked 3rd year this time now.
"What are those exactly anyway?" I asked, as I arrived at our spot, as I was between Neville and Ron then. "Candies that make you imitate animal sounds, want to try it." Seamus asked, and I nodded. "Sure." I said, as we were going through each one. "Green. That's a monkey." Ron said and I nodded, as Seamus tried his, before he started acting like a monkey. "What is that?" I said and he nodded. "You call that a monkey?" Dean said smiling and I nodded then.
"Do not give him one again, hey, Neville, try an elephant." Ron said and tossing him a red one as he started imitating an elephant. "Ron, catch." he said, tossing him a new one, and he ate, before he started sounding like a lion. "Yeah I think we have a winner." I said and they nodded smiling, before I grabbed one, Ron quickly said it, as I ate it then. "Oh, don't try one of them." he said quickly, as I felt steam shooting out my ears then, and closed my eyes then.
Feeling like I ate a red hot, as steam was coming out of my ears. "Oh, no." he said and and Ron said it with a chuckle then. "Look at him. His face." he said, before it stopped finally then. "Alright wise guy, you asked for it and now you're going to get it." I said, grabbing my pillow and smacking him and they smiled. "Alright so you want to play." Dean said and chucking a second at Ron, and then at me. "Yeah let's get him!" Ron said as we started exchanging blows.
"Warp him one, Harry." Neville said smiling and I beaned Seamus, and he smacked me in response, as it went on for 20 minute and then I checked the clock. "Yeah guys, time for light's out, bed time." I said and they nodded, as I took the potion, and immediately felt the sedative side effects kick in then. "Night Harry." Neville said and I smiled. "Night bro, night guys." I said and they nodded. "Night guys." they said together, as we all got into bed then….
Dumbledore's Office:
Albus Dumbledore was most put out by recent events: things lately had not been going his way, and he was not used to that. It began back at the end of the last school term, when the Minister of Magic, one Cornelius Fudge. Who had outright dismissed his claims that Lord Voldemort could return from the dead, via horcrux. Before agreeing with Harry Potter, but no, someone let it out, that Harry had found the key to the dark lord's immortality, and Harry then got started.
And had been systematically destroying them all, as soon as he found them, even worse, he now knew why he had Fawkes prevent the one inside him from being destroyed. The evidence on the wall, was even worse, provided by Gryffindor with his sword now. Slytherin his basilisk had become a perfect weapon, discovering the way to destroy them now. And vetoed use of Avada Kedevra and Fiendfyre, in favor of Basilisk venom, destroy it be dementors, or muggle.
He could not believe how fast Harry got to work now, now realizing in the 3 month break, since they separated, Harry broke down his blocks, and remembered everything. And with it, that everything included thing he never wanted him to remember now, after the diary. In means of execution now, like this lethal injection Rita Skeeter said, of course that could not do. But things only got worse, this source had completely destroyed his reputation, by his treatment now.
Of Harry and Minerva and Hagrid's participation in now, especially when they decided to kick Dumbledore out of his position of Chief Warlock. And to the Wizengamot and subject both his position as Supreme Mugwump. Or of the International Confederation of Wizards and his role as Headmaster at Hogwarts School was put to intense scrutiny. As Dumbledore did not like people looking into his dealings too much, only he, after all, had the ability to see the big picture.
Only he could see how things should be done in order to attain the Greater Good, but would others would see as being heinous crimes were actually. In the grand scheme of things, nothing more than necessary evils, too many people would fail to understand things, of course. They would fail to see how keeping Snape within the castle was more important. Then giving students a fair and decent learning environment for their potions lessons, failing to comprehend.
In how imperative it was to bring the Philosopher's Stone to Hogwarts in order to lure out Voldemort. They would fail to understand why he sent Harry Potter off to live with his neglectful relatives, and why he sent him back there every summer. They would fail to understand because they had no concept of the Greater Good. And that failure would ultimately lead to disaster if they were allowed to go through with their plans, so Dumbledore had back-tracked a little.
He had withdrawn his comments about the Chamber, and allowed Harry to take the fall, in being blamed as the heir. In this way he had gotten the Ministry, the school governors and the International Confederation of Wizards to back off. In allowing him to covertly reform the Order of the Phoenix without raising suspicion. Unfortunately allowing Harry to take the fall without telling him had backfired, and quite spectacularly the boy had somehow talked his way out.
And then he had simply disappeared, as he did not return home to his Muggle relatives in Little Whinging, he did not go to the house of a friend. There had been absolutely no sign of him in Diagon Alley all summer long, and there wasn't even a record. Of him leaving the Leaky Caauldron that day, Dumbledore had several leads, but all of them turned up absolutely nothing. Worse, both Minister Fudge and Barty Crouch appeared to be in the know, of his home life.
And they weren't telling, no matter how much he insisted, neither could be swayed by adulation of him, and neither could be intimidated by his power. It was frustrating: That had actually turned out to be a blessing in disguise, though here now. When the Minister had attempted to crowbar his lackey Dolores Umbridge into Hogwarts using the vacant Defense Against the Dark Arts post, Dumbledore had been able to block his attempts by giving the role to Remus.
Only for that to backfire as well, Remus had cut contact with him, after Sirius was put on parole, and now they and Severus were a trio in protecting Harry. And now Severus, upon getting the truth, decided his loyalty to the headmaster was over. And protecting Harry from him now, and now Severus revealed his own secrets to Crouch, who was now back in charge. As head of the MLE then, which meant he was back to being himself again, the judge with a heart of stone.
He would have to tread carefully here, as he had no real grasp over the entire situation. Antagonizing Harry too much might result in more interference from the Ministry. But at the same time Harry could not be allowed too much free rein, as he had the potential. To be just as damaging to Hogwarts as Sirius and the rest of the MLE, as he waited. Before a knock on the door. "Come in." he said and the door opened to reveal Sirius then, and with him Moody, Dora.
And Kingsley. "Sirius what are you doing in here, I wanted to see Harry about that change in schedule." he said sternly and he crossed his arms. "Well sorry headmaster, but Harry's been forbidden from consorting with you, Minerva, Filius and Pomona, even Hagrid. Socially starting now, as from now till when we find him, or get the map back, he's spending his time. All his time with us, training, with Ginny, or with Jeremy and Alex." he said sternly to that remark.
"But what he said to you, all true, I wanted him to know the truth, why they didn't just get the heck out of England, and it's on you, you destroyed his faith in you. After said points lost and not telling the truth, about Lilly's heritage." he said sternly and he swallowed. "Because of you his sister is dead, because of your little science experiments, he's had enough. So this little detail over the horcruxes, you really did lose your god damned mind." he said sternly to him.
"You're not getting rid of me this time, I'm free to go, Remus just alerted me, we just found him, and he's shedding tuffs of fur like you wouldn't believe, but no map. No evidence, so make yourself comfortable, we're here for the entire year now, but Harry's not leaving campus. So don't bother here, he's been ordered, no breaking rules, no adventures now. From Ronald's parents, to Vernon, to me, Barty and Alastor, he's following orders." he said and he paled.
"Minerva don't start with me, Remus is in charge of the Dorm, you're simply the deputy headmistress and Transfiguration now, when Remus is indisposed during wolf weeks, I am. Aggie removed you from control as Dorm leader, Kingsley to Filius and Ted to Pomona starting now, for you're listening to him and that cruel act over points. That you all been removed from your head of house positions." he added sternly and she went pale then at the news then.
