Prologue

Remus and Sirius, who hiding out in Sirius's mothers' room in Grimmauld Place from Dumbledore and Molly Weasley (who were formulating their own plans in controlling Harry to their own means), were talking about Harry and what happened to him during the tri-wizard tournament and trying to formulate a plan to get Harry away from the Dursley's. Remus was suddenly popped out of the room with Sirius, who had a face saying "ha, ha Moony, nice prank," and he himself popped out of the room, and they found themselves looking at each other in a very comfortable room, which was something similar to the Room of Requirement.

"Okay, Sirius what kind of prank did you play?" asked Remus.

"Me, play a prank! No Remus it was you who played the prank? You apparatted out of Grimmauld Place. Better question, where are we?" Sirius asked Remus.

"That is the first sensible question you asked and the answer is: No bloody idea!..."

Harry was in his room at Privet Drive going over again and again what had happened in the graveyard with Voldemort and the killing of one of his friends and peer – Cedric. He felt some kind of magic being performed before he found himself popped into the Room of Requirement.

"Harry!" both Sirius and Remus exclaimed at the sudden appearance of Harry.

"Hi Sirius, hello Professor Lupin. Where the hell am I, because I was just in my room at Privet Drive," he asked both Sirius and Remus.

"First of all Harry, please call me Remus, I haven't been your teacher for over a year. And for second, we don't know. We popped in this room, moments ago, just as well as you."

Both Fred and George where in their room at Grimmauld Place, coming up with which items they want to try and sell at Hogwarts for this year, along with items that needed to be road tested further. They were both pleased at Harry's little gift to them on the Hogwarts Express, and they both agreed that they will give their silent partner some of their products to do pranking. As they were so engrossed in their planning, they didn't notice the magic of popping them from one place to another, both suddenly realised they had company and they were in the Room of Requirement.

As soon as they laid their eyes on Harry, both Fred and George gave Harry a big Weasley hug. They were working extremely hard on their products, thanks to a certain mischievous green eyed Gryffindor.

Remus asked "What item did you give Harry last year?"

"The Marauder's Map," replied the twins in an instant.

"What plans are you talking about? Pranking at the professors? Slyterhins? Can I help?" asked Sirius in a one quick breath.

"No more questions…we're good. We have… already have…plans in…place," said Fred and George with Remus and Sirius looked between them as in a tennis match, when they were talking. "We are…ready…to go…into business…at the…end off…the school… year…after taking…our NEWTS".

"Who gave you the money to start it?" asked Remus.

"We have…recently acquired…a silent backer…, we cannot say…who this person is…, as the person…wish to remain…anonymous", said the Weasley twins, again together.

While Tom and Lucius where in the study of Malfoy Manor, discussing some future endeavours, for when Tom himself was back at full strength. Draco was up in his room wondering around the Manor looking lost, but wondering what the heck his father has been up to recently because he's becoming skittish by the day. Draco suddenly popped into the room and when spied Potter, he tried to pull his wand out at Potter, but Remus was faster with an Expelliarmus.

"Give me my wand back, werewolf," scowled Draco.

"Not until you have calmed down", replied Remus.

Suddenly both Tom and Lucius appeared as well.

"Father, Lupin decided to take my wand", whined Draco. "Do something," stamping his foot in a spoilt brat moment.

"Only because Draco decided to pull his wand on me!" explained Harry in a rush to Lucius. "I don't even have my wand on me. Care to check?".

"Draco, what did I tell you about pulling your wand on unarmed people? That talk will be reiterated shortly", Lucius said in a most scary voice possible. Draco paled at the underlining threat.

Whilst in the Minister's office, Fudge is preening from Delores Umbridge saying what a spoiled little brat Potter is, and he will get his just deserts. Both of whom didn't notice the strange magic that enveloped the both of them, tying them up to a chair along with a hanky gag to their mouths, before being dropped into the Room of Requirements where the others are currently milling about.

Severus was in the potion's lab at Hogwarts going through the list of potions that were needed for the infirmary for the upcoming year. He himself found himself engulfed in a strange magic and being popped into the Room of Requirement with the other guests. When he saw his Hogwarts enemies, he growled menacingly.

"Hello, Snivellus", said Sirius in a most degrading manner possible.

"Sirius, shut up", said Harry and Remus, with Remus's hand connecting to the back of Sirius' head, with a muffled 'ow'. "We no longer students at Hogwarts."

Suddenly a bright light appeared and floating in the middle of the room a letter appeared. Harry took the initiative and started to read the letter to everyone.

Dear Remus, Sirius, Harry, Weasley Twins, Draco, Lucius, Severus and Tom:

Please don't be alarmed or angry with each other, but there is a very good answer to why you are here. You are here to change the future that was set out for you by Dumbledore and his fake prophecy. I'm sorry to say that four of you will not make it to the end of the war. I will say this, Dumbledore did get his just desserts, at the cost of an innocent child.

As you will see, you now have two extra guests – Cornelius Fudge, Minister for Magic and Delores Umbridge, Senior Undersecretary for the Minister – both of which are bound and gagged. These two will cause Harry harm, especially Umbridge, during Harry's fifth year.

Remus, Sirius, you are both like a father, or closest to a father Harry has. Please don't pass judgment on all of Harry's adventures or misdeeds, but please be patient in the understanding of his motives.

Severus, you have to listen to the books as your preconceived ideas of Harry as a spoiled prince are totally wrong, in fact they are the complete opposite of what he has done, and what he has to achieve. Both you and Harry had a similar upbringing. Don't forget, Lily would want you to help Harry, not hinder him.

Fred and George, you are the only two Weasley's that Harry trusts and that are not under Dumbledore's thumb. I am forever grateful for what you did to Harry when you rescued him before second year. Mischief Managed.

Draco, you will finally understand why Harry did not shake your hand on the train to Hogwarts in first year, and why he thinks you are a spoiled brat. Lucius, even though you are into pureblood supremacy, you have created a brat in Draco, please instil some proper manners in as an aristocrat.

As you can see, Tom is actually Lord Voldemort, minus all the alterations he has done to himself over the years and especially at the graveyard a few weeks ago. Please refrain from hexing Tom, but keep an open mind on why he did it.

Tom you have been the most manipulated by Dumbledore, in a sense, he made you stay at that horrible orphanage when you were growing up. The prophecy between yourself and Harry was to cancel each of you out – as Yin and Yang. Both of your powers are more powerful than Dumbledore's. Even Grindlewald was more powerful than Dumbledore. But that's another story.

As you can see there is a pile of books on the coffee table:

Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

Please read the books in that order.

I still haven't decided whether or not to add more people when the time arises (those who are truly loyal to Harry).

With love from a family member,

T.R.L. & G.W.

"Right, who wants to read", asked Sirius.

"I will," stated Harry.
