The Return of Lord Potter

Chapter 1: The Fourth Champion

Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter.

The residents of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry where all gathered in the Great Hall, among them where the students who attended Beauxbatons Academy of Magic from France and the Durmstrang Institute, it's location remained a secret.

Everyone was waiting to see which students would be chosen as Champions for the Triwizard Tournament for their school. They watched as the fire in the Goblet of Fire, the impartial judge choosing the Champions, turned a light blue and the first name was called.

"The Champion for Beauxbatons is… Fleur Delacour!" The students politely clapped for her as she made her way to the front. She had a whispered conversation with Dumbledore then went through a door to the side. The fire in the Goblet then turned yellow and the second name was called.

"The Champion for Hogwarts is… Cedric Diggory!" The students stomped their legs and cheered with the Hufflepuff table just a little louder then the rest. He also had a whispered conversation with Dumbledore then went through the side door. The fire then turned a brownish-red and the third name was called.

"And finally, the Champion for Durmstrang is… Viktor Krum!" This time, the students loudly clapped as the Quidditch star made his way to Dumbledore then through the side door.

Just as Dumbledore was about to dismiss the remaining students, the fire in the Goblet started to flash though multiple colors; blue, green, yellow and red faster and faster then it stopped, spitting out a fourth name.

"Harry Potter!"

"That can't be right! I did not enter my name!" Harry answered.

"Come up here Harry. You are now a Triwizard Champion," Dumbledore said.

As Harry went to the front of the Hall, he could hear the other students whispering, but the ones that stood out the most were Ron and Ginny Weasley .

"He is such a cheater. Why didn't he tell me? I could have entered my name, too," whispered Ron.

"I know. He is so reckless and selfish," answered Ginny.

"I should have listed to Mom and stopped hanging out with him after second year," spat Ron.

Just as Harry made it to the front, the sound of flesh hitting flesh could be heard. Harry turned to see Ron on the floor holding a bloody nose glaring at Neville and Ginny holding her red cheek glaring daggers at Hermione.

"20 points to Gryffindor!" yelled Professors Snape and Sprout at the same time. As one, the students turned to see 40 marbles drop in to Gryffindor's hourglass. Harry smiled at his friends and turned back to Dumbledore.

"Go through the door and wait with the other Champions, Harry," Dumbledore said pointing to the side door . As Harry walked through the door he could hear Dumbledore announcing to the students that the first task is on November 20th and dismisses them once more.

…

As Harry made his way through the door a redheaded Hufflepuff was writing a letter to her aunt. When she finished her letter she quickly made her way to the owlery to send it using a school owl but was surprise when a beautiful snow owl flew down to her the moment she entered.

"Would you like to take this letter for me and wait for an answer?" she asked. her only answer was the owl hold her leg out with a soft giggle she give the owl a small treat from her pocket before tying the letter to the owl's leg. She told her to take it to Amelia Bones at Bones Manor and watched as the bird flew away.

…

As the snow owl made her way to Bones Manor, Harry was making his way back to Gryffindor common room lost in thought when he run into and knocked down the redheaded Hufflepuff.

" I am so sorry are you ok " Harry asked as he held his hand out to help her up.

" I'm all right " she said. As their hands touched she gasped with the small shock they felt and quickly letting go.

" Did the Headmaster get you out of the tournament." She asked

" No, Miss. Bones he did not. I'll have to compete." Harry smiled at the surprise look on her face when he said her name.

"please call me Susan Heir Potter" Susan said with a smile of her own.

" It Harry and what do you mean Heir" Harry asked with a look of confusion

" Oh it just that you're the Heir to the Potter Lordship" Susan answered

Harry look at Susan and asked " what Lordship"

" The Potter Lordship. OH Merlin! Look it get close to curfew how about you join me for breakfast at Hufflepuff table and I'll try and explain it more to you" She said with a slight blush

"ok" Harry said as a small smirk started to from on his face. Harry stared to walk to his common room again before look at her over his shoulder and saying " It a date".

Susan felt her face get hotter as her slight blush intensified as she made her way to the Hufflepuff common room.

-*Meanwhile at Bones Manor*-

Madam Amelia Bones was have a night cap before head to bed when she heard a tapping at her window. Looking over she saw a beautiful snow owl was there waiting to be let in. Walking over to allow her in and wondering who the beautiful owl belonged to. As she opened the window and noticed her nieces hand writing. Taking the letter she notice the owl did not fly off.

" Are you waiting for a reply" she asked and to her surprise the owl bobbed her head. With a light chuckled Amelia walked to her desk to read the letter.

Dear Auntie,

The Champions for the Triwizard Tournament were chosen this evening. For Beauxbatons Fleur Delacour , Hogwarts Cedric Diggory, and for Durmstrang Viktor Krum, but then a fourth name was called Harry Potter. I know you read the rule book when you first heard about the tournament is there way out for him and if not dose this make him of age?

Amelia quickly replied to her niece sealing the letter and placed it in a shrunken copy of the Triwizard Tournament rule book. She then wrapped the book to make it easily carried. Then give the package to the owl and watched as she flew way.

-*Back at Hogwarts *-

Susan made her way to the great hall the following morning as she came to the doors harry was wait for her.

"Good morning Harry" she greeted as she approached him. Harry look over at her with a smile.

"Good morning Susan. Shell we" he asked. Just then someone walked up behind Harry.

" Good morning Heir Malfoy How are you this morning " Susan Asked

"Good Morning Heir Bones. I am well and yourself" Draco replied. Harry turned and looked between the two and had the feeling he missed something. He decided to take his lead from Susan and address Draco.

" Good morning Heir Malfoy. How may I help you" Harry asked. Draco looked at Harry in surprise and replied

"Good morning Heir Potter and Professor Snape would like to see you after breakfast in his office" Draco answer politely to the surprise of Harry .

" You may call me Harry and thank you for the message. Would you like to join use for breakfast Susan is go to try and explain the Potter Lordship to me" Answered Harry

"Yes I would like that as long as we do not sit at Gryffindor table and You both may call me Draco" Draco said as they made their way to the Hufflepuff table.

About ten minutes after taking their sets owls started to fly in. Harry looked to see Hedwig flying towards them with a package in her claws but to his surprise Hedwig flew to Susan and dropped the package in her hands then over to him to steel his beacon from his plate. Susan giggled at the owls antics before opening the package and finding the rule book for the Triwizard tournament she open the book to find a letter from her auntie.

Dear Susan

I afraid that it is a magically binding contract so he has to compete, but because he is under age and the tournament is for of age wizard only. It dose make him of age. He should go to Gringotts to claim his titles and vaults.

P.S Who is the owner of this beautiful owl and what is her name?

Love, Auntie

"will I guess this beauty is yours Harry" Susan stated look at the pair just to have the owl to look insulted at her.

" No. Hedwig is my friend and companion" Harry replied with a smile as Hedwig nipped his ear affectionately. Susan smiled at the two as she finish eating.

" I wrote to my Aunt last night and I received a reply this morning. Along with the rule book for the tournament for you to read " Susan said handed the letter to Harry.

"well I'll see about going after my meeting with Professor Snape" harry said looking at his to new friends

Susan looked at Harry in shock " I think this is more important Harry then the meeting "

''Fine, then. You can join me when I tell him that,'' Harry shot back with a smirked on his face as Susan shrived at the thought

"Come in," came a reply from the inside. As they walked into the room Professor Snape looked up at Harry, Susan, and Draco "Close the door as you leave, Miss Bones and Mr. Malfoy"

"I asked them to come, Professor," Harry said before shutting the door. The Professor warded the room before speaking.

"I requested you here to tell you that you can now claim your inheri..." but before he could finish, Harry spoke up.

"I'm sorry Professor'' Harry interrupted him and hand the letter form Susan's aunt to him. Snape quickly read it and the spoke up

"Very well. I will accompany you. There are some things that we need to talk about but it may be better with Madam Bones there. I well meet you at the front gate. If anyone asks, you have detention with me collecting potion ingredients" Snape says to Harry.

Harry got a thoughtful look on his face. "Professor, is it possible for Draco and Susan to come as will?" Harry turn to look at Draco" I would like to talk to you away from other influences like the youngest Weasels and the book ends that follow you ever where Draco."

" I would like that" Draco said

"Ok... I can say yes for Draco as his godfather but Miss. Bones needs her Aunts permission you may use the Floo in here. Snape got her the Floo powder and in a few minutes had permission to take Susan with them and would meet her at the bank in an hour.

"you have 15 minutes to get ready and meet me at the gates." Snape told them before leaving to get ready himself.

…

Thirty minutes later found Harry, Susan, Draco and Professor Snape walking to The Three Broomsticks to Floo to The Leaky Cauldron. As they stepped through to Diagon Alley, Draco stopped.

Looking at Harry's uniform, he commented. "Harry, do you not have any other robes then the school robes I've notice that you never wear any other clothe then the school uniform and the weasel sweeter, I think we need to get you a proper robe. You should never wear a school uniform to Gringotts."

"You are probably right, Draco. What would you suggest?" Harry surprised both himself and Draco when he asked.

Draco quickly masked his surprise. "Well it depends on the reason of the visit. If you're going to your vault to withdraw money, an everyday robe would be fine. But if you're going to claim your lordship, you need a robe that shows your station in our world," Draco said with the grace of a well bred pureblood.

"If we are going to stop to get proper robes for Potter, we should get moving,'' Snape said without his normal coldness and bitterness. ''We do not want to keep Madam Bones waiting.''

A/N: Please let me know what you think and Severus Snape will not have the some hate of harry potter as the Books.
