Harry and Dumbledore left the offices of the Minister and walked toward the Wizengamot Chambers.

As they walked through the halls, Harry saw many faces that he recognized. Some of those faces included Arthur Weasley, Kingsley Shacklebolt, Amelia Bones, Augusta Longbottom, and many others. As they entered into the Wizengamot chambers Dumbledore directed Harry to where he would sit while he waited to be called to take his seat. Dumbledore stood and welcomed everyone to the Wizengamot meeting.

"The first order of business is to elect a new chief witch/wizard. As I was the last to hold this position my vote goes to Augusta Longbottom. Are there any others who would like to put their name forward? Does anyone object?

As most of the Dark faction had been removed due to the revelations at Sirius' trial there was little opposition to Madam Longbottom becoming the Chief Witch. Dumbledore handed the control of the wards over to her and sat down in the Minister's spot.

"Lords and Ladies of the Wizengamot our next order of business is to induct new members into our numbers. While we have many missing members and seats we only have one person taking up their family seat."

"Mr. Potter, please step forward and please state your vow."

Harry had been told of the vow and the plans to make changes to the vow in the coming sessions.

"I, Harry James Potter, vow to help the wizengamot to enact laws for the betterment of Wizarding Britain and pledge that House Potter will do its best to perform the duties required of my house and my position."

"As I am currently at school and unable to attend a majority of the required sessions I ask that Lord Sirius Black vote as proxy for House Potter."

The chief witch nodded and accepted the proposal for proxy of Harry's seat. However, she informed him that when school is not in session, or in case of emergency, he is required to at least be present at the meeting.

Harry sat in the Potter seat and watched as the other Lords and Ladies voted on various proposals that had or had not become laws in the future. He remembered the laws that would affect Remus due to his werewolf cursed and would have to make sure that he talked to Sirius and some of the other people that he had access to. He would do everything that he could to make sure that Remus and the werewolves that tried to avoid their condition could become active members of society despite their "furry little problem."

There were also sevral new proposals that had been added that would help to improve society thanks to Dumbledore. Dumbledore hoped to change the vow of the members of the Wizengamot so that they could not do harm to the society they lived in. He also hoped to elect new members into the Wizengamot instead of keeping the same members and families in the position over hundreds of years.

Harry was glad for the end of the day to come. He had felt that it had not come fast enough. Sirius and Dumbledore had invited him to join them for dinner before he headed back to Hogwarts. He had been rather happy to find out that there wasn't anymore meet and greets planned with the various heads of departments. Harry soon realized that it was more than just the three of them but most of the people from the ministry that had been a part of the order of the phoenix in the original timeline.

They decided to walk into the muggle part of London to find a pizza restuarant. Dumbledore had chosen a place called Pizza Union and they walked into the restaurant and asked for a private room for a large party.

Dumbledore sat and had Harry sitting to his right and Auror "Mad-eye" Moody to his left. While they waited on their ordered pizzas to come Dumbledore discussed the reason for the meeting. (Harry had ordered one with a variety of meats on it.) Dumbledore had cast a spell that caused all of the nearby muggles to hear them talking about sports, cooking, or other muggle things.

"I gathered all of you here because you were a part of the Order of the Pheonix in the first wizarding war against Voldemort. I have evidence, that i cannot share, that proves that Voldemort (shudders or intakes of breath ignored), is not truly dead and will return. Due to me being Minister of Magic I can no longer lead the order. I have chosen young Harry here to be my replacement."

At this there were several gasps of annoyance as well as some looks of disbelief. Harry could tell that he would have to prove himself amongst these people. Before anything further could be said their food arrived. Many sat around the table eating their food. Seveal of the people from the pureblood families looked in amazement at the amazing greasy food that they had never eaten before. Harry smirked slightly while sharing his pizza with Sirius. While he ate he thought about how many purebloods thought that they were better than everyone else but never realized what they were missing when they excluded muggle things from their lives.

Dumbledore continued. "I know many of you may think that i am crazy to let a 13 year old boy lead the order but he is not what he seems. Obviously we cannot prove it to you here but we can do that at a later time. I am currently working with young Harry, and many others, to improve communication between Law Enforcement. Harry, Amelia, and I will be in communication to give us the best chance of preventing Voldemort from creating the havoc he caused the last time."

Dumbledore proceeded to tell them that there would be a change coming officially. He as minister would inform the public that the Aurors were recruiting and there would be a second organization that would protect the public. This second organization could be joined instead of the aurors but would be lead by those who were in close contact with the minister and Madam Bones. He continued to say that Aurors would be required to wear red cloaks that fastened around the collarbone with the ministry emblem. The Order on the otherhand would wear golden colored cloaks fastened with a phoenix emblem. These cloaks would be spelled in a number of different ways for protection.

They were dismissed shortly after that heading in many different directions. Amelia grabbed the hands of Sirius and Harry and apparated them back to her manor.

They appeared in her study and she sat behind her desk with the other two sitting in the chairs across from her. They began to formulate their plans for the near future.

Harry, with approval from Sirius, mentioned that Potter Manor was still standing but had been unlived in for nearly 12 years. With some cleaning and repairs of anything that needs attention it could become the base of operations for the order.

Due to Harry's friend status with the goblin nation he was planning on putting protections and wards on the manor that could only be rivaled by the protections on Hogwarts and Gringotts. He also mentioned that two of the protections would be the Fidelius Charm and Intent based wards. Those with any intent to harm anyone under the wards would be unable to enter the property and would be repelled by various means depending on how dangerous the intent to harm is. Harry was in the process of expanding the manor to ensure that it would be capable of housing those friendly to the order, who had been displaced and needed a place to stay. He told them that Dobby would be his Head elf and the Potter elves, should any still be alive, would be organized under Dobby. With that Harry Harry asked if he could use the floo to travel back to Hogwarts. Once Amelia got approval from Proffers Sprout, Harry flooed to her office and left in the direction of his new common room.

Along the way, Harry saw the Weasley twins and used his ability to melt into the shadows and enhanced hearing from his animagus form to listen in on them.

Fred was arguing with George about how to prank someone in the Gryffindor common room. George was saying that the prank had to be marauder worthy.

Harry stepped out of the shadows and said smirking "what are you maurauder imitators planning?"

"Well Fred, it looks like our suspicions are true."

"I agree George, it looks like our young friend here might know our idols."

"We, Fred, must convince him to tell us everything he knows of Padfoot, Prongs, Wormtail, and Moony."

You're right, George, we must."

Harry laughed as he walked up to them. "I can tell you some of what I know and promise to introduce you to one. However, you must help me get back at Snape. I have a plan to target Snape first and then the rest of the school, so that the prank doesnt appear to be a targeted attack.

Harry and the twins huddled together and began whispering their plans.

The next morning saw the prank go into effect shortly after the three students were in the Great Hall. Harry and the twins had convinced the elves to add a potion to everyones food that would be triggered by they presence of all three of the students in the Hall.

As Harry walked in the Hall he glanced at the the head table and burst out in laughter. The second Harry walked in Snape's hair changed from black to green. Everyone looked up at hearing the laughter and saw Snape's hair. He slammed his fork down on the table, for he had seen it change and was about to yell at Harry to shut up, but he was quickly silenced by the spectacle before him.

Minerva now sported red hair, while Pomona and Filius had Yellow and Blue hair, respectively. He watched as the rest of professors hair changed to match their hair color. Many of the professors had joined in the laughter as they watched their fellow professors' hair color change before they noticed that it had affected the students. The only student unaffected was Harry Potter.

"POTTER, WHAT DID YOU DO? YOU'RE JUST LIKE YOUR USELESS FATHER AND HIS FRIENDS." Snape roared forgetting where he was.

Many had stopped laughing and were staring at Snape. Some had expressions of anger on their faces. Two of the people many had noticed were the angriest were Mcgonagall and Sprout. Some of the students asked what Snape was talking about.

Anger flashed on Harry's face before it disappeared. He sat and began piling his plate with food. "I dont know what you are talking about, sir." His hair changed from black to yellow as he took his first bite.

It became immediately clear that the prank that had been administered to everyone in the Great Hall by adding it to the food.

"Snape, you have yet again..." Mcgonagall started before she was cut off.

"Shut up, Minerva. I have never cared for these useless brats and their education and I will no longer allow people to attack me like I was attacked while I was here." He glanced at Lupin angrily before continuing. "Potter's father and his useless friends did stuff like this while I was here and now I have to endure the same from the Weasley twins and anyone else who thinks they can prank others."

"You all think it is funny and harmless but i will no longer accept this. I am done." He walked out of the great hall was seen walking out the front doors a few minutes later.

Silence had followed the tantrum by Snape but cheers broke out from three of the four tables and even included some of the younger slytherin students.

Minerva chuckled at the childish display of anger displayed by her former collegue. She continued eating as she thought about how she would have to reach out to her friend Andromeda much sooner than she thought she would have to.

Sorry for the short chapter but i wanted to get this one out. I will most likely be adding small time jumps from this point on.

I also want to say that while I like Snape he never seemed like he liked teaching. His potions brilliance could have been directed elsewhere. I plan doing just that in my stories.
