Hello everyone and welcome to a new chapter. I think it has been more than one year since I last updated the story, but a lot has happened in that time. I got married and pregnant. I have delivered a very beautiful little girl. So I did not have a lot of time to write. I have gotten some more free time in this stage of my new life and so I wanted to get your guts this new chapter.
It is unbeta'd, so please if you see any mistakes don't hesitate to sent me a PM or review.
Enough rambling, see you at the end.
Chapter 27: Going back to school.
Previous time on Harry Potter and the Change to Chance everything
"No Moony, I never knew for certainly whom would be the new Defense Professor, I just had a feeling that I would win the bet, let's call it one of my gifts. But indeed there is something I want from Sirius as the Head of House Black."
When Sirius heard this, this posture changed into a rare pureblood stance, well rare in this instance because Sirius never was much for etiquettes but Magic deemed it necessary, and he listened carefully to Harry' s request.
"I would like you to dissolve Bellatrix Lestrange's marriage, throw her out of the Black Family and her vault will be mine and you aren't allowed to know why I want this all."
Harry knew that this would make Sirius and Remus very suspicious, but they didn't have much choice anymore. The law that Ron and Hermione had been trying to exploit was failing them in every aspect and so they needed this thing to work. If he would have to tell Sirius and Remus who they truly were then that was something he would have to live with, even if that meant that they didn't want anything to do with them anymore.
Sirius was still looking at Harry and even Harry thought that he was going to say no, but then the next words Sirius spoke startled him
" I, Sirius Orion Black, Head of the House of Black, announce hereby the marriage between Bellatrix Lestrange nee Black and Rodolphus Lestrange will be dissolved because of actions which harmed Family. Bellatrix Black is hereby disowned from the Black Family, because of the crimes against our allies and crimes against justice itself. Bellatrix will now be known as Bellatrix no name for the rest of her days, she will be burned off the Black tapestry and it will be like she was never born into the noble family of the Blacks. Her vault will be given to my Heir, Lord Harry James Potter, and be used as he wishes to use it without my permission, so mote it be."
The silver trio could feel the strength of the oath that Sirius had just made and they knew that Bellatrix could also feel it. They had been right. Thousands miles further, on the grim island of the prison Azkaban, Bellatrix could feel the Oath sinking into her bones. She could feel the Lestrange's Family's Magicks leaving her body, cutting her off from her husband and his brother. The same thing happened to the two Lestrange Brothers, they weren't able to feel Bellatrix anymore.
But then pain hit her, pain that was even worse than the pain she had felt when her marriage was dissolved, it was the pain of the Black Family Magicks feeling her body. She could feel her Magic shrinking, no longer be supported by the forefathers of the Blacks. She feel down to the ground when she was withering in pain, screaming but nobody came for her to help her or see what was happening to her.
Her body shrank even more, without the Black Magicks, she could no longer fight against the dementors the way she had been coping all those years and for the first time in many many years Bellatrix was truly afraid of Azkaban, the place where she would be buried.
Remus just looked at Sirius and he couldn't believe the amount of strength that Sirius had used in that Oath. It was such a serious Oath and he couldn't do anything about it anymore. His friend had spoken. Sirius could feel the weight of the Oath on his shoulders.
The trio looked at Sirius with shocked eyes, they didn't really think that Sirius would give such a serious oath, but he had done it and now they would be one step closer by the destruction of Voldemort.
Harry stepped forward and said "Thank you Padfoot, I promise I will explain everything when we are done, we just need a little more time and then we will tell you everything. You have my word."
"It is okay, Pup. Bellatrix was one of the things on my list that I wanted to get rid off anyway, so your Oath wasn't that hard."
Remus just looked at Sirius and then said "While it has been a long day, shall we go back home?"
"Not yet, Remus. We have to pick something up at Gringotts, but then we will go back home. How about we meet at Florean's when we are done and then you can meet us there if you don't need anything anymore here?" said Harry.
Remus looked at Harry with suspicious eyes, somehow knowing this had something to do with Bellatrix Lestrange's vault but Sirius was already agreeing to this and walked ahead.
The silver trio just smiled at Remus and quickly walked to Gringotts. They couldn't have the Diary today, but they wouldn't leave today without a Horcrux. They wanted inside of Gringotts and waited until they were near a free teller.
They walked forward when they finally were the next in line and Harry spoke, "I would like to see the vault who formerly belonged to Bellatrix Lestrange, now Bellatrix no name. The vault should be in my name now."
The teller looked at the trio of kids and said "I will bring you to the correct account manager, follow me, Lord Potter."
The trio followed the teller to the account manager of the Black accounts and in just a few moments they were on their way to Bellatrix Lestrange's vault. The account manager only needed to confirm whom Harry was before they were on their way. It seemed like the Oath had already been reported to Gringotss and so the goblins had taken care of everything.
The trio didn't even look at the Dragon that was guarding the vault and they walked quickly to the vault. The goblin that had escorted them, opened the vault and stepped back allowing them their privacy. There in the middle of the vault, there it was. Voldemort's Horcrux, the golden cup of Helga Hufflepuff. Harry remembered the safety measures Bellatrix had taken last time and was prepared to ask his pack for help to get up there, when the goblin suddenly spoke up.
"The vault has been returned to the standard safety measures. Bellatrix No Name had asked for multiple safety measures against thieves, but when the vault was transferred to you, the vault automatically went back to the standard safety measures, you can enter the vault safely, Lord Potter."
Harry thanked the goblin and walked into the vault, he walked to the cup and took it from the pedal it was standing on. He could just feel the evil coming from the cup and they knew that they would have to get rid of it, before they would meet Remus and Sirius because he just knew that Remus would feel something.
"Sorry to trouble you, but do you have an warded room we can use for a small cleansing ritual? We will of course pay you for your troubles."
"We have several warded rooms, which kind of room do you need, Lord Potter?"
"The one that can withstand the removal of a Horcrux?" said Hermione seriously.
The goblin couldn't believe his ears, "Horcrux?"
Ron just pointed to the cup in his brother's hand. "Yes, Voldemort's one. Do you have a room for it?"
The goblin lead them to the most enchanted and warded room they had and Harry said that they could take the payment out of his new vault, with the rest of the money going to the St Mungo's as a donation. The items that were to be found, had to be cleansed, the payment could also be taken out of the vault and the cleansed items could then by placed in one of the other Black vaults he owned.
The goblin promised that they would respect his wishes and then left the trio standing in the room with the Horcrux in their hand. Harry put the cup on the ground in the middle of the room and took a few deep breaths. He had to focus all of his magic to remove the evil taint of the historic artifact. He had found the perfect spell which could destroy the Horcrux without damaging the container, this was one of the artefacts of Hogwarts, an item from his ancestors and he really wanted to keep it whole so that he could donate it back to the school and the Loyal of Hufflepuff.
Ron and Hermione were standing back, they knew that Harry had found a certain spell, but they didn't how much effort it would take. They didn't want to intervene with the spell and so they were safely away where the spell couldn't them and create any problems.
Harry took his wand and focused on the Cup in front of him. He closed his eyes and felt for his Magic, he could feel the power swelling in his body, getting stronger and stronger until he could feel it just underneath his skin, crackling like lighting, ready to be used.
Harry opened his eyes, glowing with a green glow similar to the curse which he was remembered for and began to chant the long latin spell.
"Spiritus mortuorum, exaudi orationem meam. Ut me malus vincere malum, horrendum est terra. Opus esse et malum, et navis innocens. Disperdere intrinsecus, sed extrinsecus custoiant universa. Spriritus mortuorum, innocents opprimunt dimittere malum"( Spirits of the dead, hear my plea. Help me defeat an evil so bad, it is the most horrible thing on Earth. This evil needs to be destroyed, but the vessel is innocent. Destroy the inside, but keep the outside whole. Spirits of the dead, release the innocent and destroy the Evil.)
There was smoke coming out of the Horcrux and suddenly a dark ghostly appearance appeared out of the Horcrux. Harry recognized the form of his enemy, Tom Riddle immediately. For a moment nothing happened and then suddenly Voldemort gave one last horrible scream before bursting into flames. The Cup was no longer a Horcrux anymore.
Harry took a shaky breath, that had taken quite what magic out of him, but then Hermione and Ron were right there and they supported him when he started to see double. Hermione immediately gave him a Pepper-up Potion and Strengthing Potions to give him some energy back, but they both knew that the only thing that would help was sleeping it off, but still they would need to pass the test with Remus and Sirius whom were waiting for them.
The goblin who had escorted them, was waiting outside of the room, looking with wide eyes to the small boy. He had just taken care of a Horcrux and he was still conscious. Even the best of the goblin chanters would faint from exhaustion if they had to perform such a powerful chant, but here there was a small wizard child whom was exceeding all of his beliefs.
The trio thanked the goblin for his time, and before he could say anything, the trio disappeared back to the general area of the bank together with the Hufflepuff cup and they exited the bank. The goblin remembered the request Harry had made and walked away to make sure that all of this requests were made. He would also tell this news to the King, it seemed like it might be time for the goblin race to give up their neutrality and choose a new side in this war. He thought it would be a good side, whom would actually give a damn.
Harry was being supported by Hermione and Ron a little bit, but they knew that they couldn't do it anymore when they saw their meeting place with Remus and Sirius coming closer. They really didn't wanted to explain it at this moment, the cup of Hufflepuff was safely hidden away so that nobody could find or see it.
Harry smiled at his two best friends and he was so glad that they were here with him. He really would have been lost without them beside him. He was met with two small hits to his back, like they were saying, 'You silly boy, did you really think we would have left it up to you?'
When they arrived at the ice cream place, both Remus and Sirius were waiting for them. Remus meet them in front and he asked immediately, "So, the business is taken care of?"
"Yes, Moony" said Harry.
"You mind telling us about it, cub?" asked Moony, his eyes flashing amber.
"It is a surprise. We will tell you later" said Harry and then he left with Hermione and Ron, not giving Remus a chance to respond. They picked up Sirius and then all of them left for Potter Manor. It was getting dangerous, Remus and Sirius were suspecting something, but they wanted to keep it a secret a little longer. They would be seriously hindered if they were being protected by two adult figures and they would need to take some big risks, risks the two adults would not like.
But they weren't asked anymore questions and so they were safe at this moment. The trio left for their room, to put away their purchases, missing the look Remus and Sirius were giving their backs.
The moment the trio had disappeared, Remus said "They are hiding something for us Padfoot and it is something huge."
"I know"
"You know, then why would you make an Oath like that? Even I could feel the strength of that Oath."
"Because I trust him and his friends. I know that boy and I knew that he doesn't have an evil bone in his body and so I trust him enough to make that Oath. He needed my help, I haven't been there for him when he needed me and if I could help him with this, then I would gladly add him, even if I don't know what he was going to do."
Remus just looked at Sirius, "Okay, I guess you are right. I just want him to ask for our help a little more. He shouldn't do everything alone. Sometimes they look like they have the whole world on their shoulders and I just wish I could help them with some of that burden."
"They will tell us when they are ready, Moony. They will."
With that the two men left to do their own business and life in the Potter Manor, returned to normal. The rest of the days were spend laughing and training until it was time for Hermione to go back to her parents again.
Remus escorted her back to her parents and her parents were surprised by the enthusiastic hug from their daughter.
"Did you have fun, dear?" asked her father.
"Yes, Dad. It was really fun, you remember Remus from last time."
"Of course, thank you for taking care of our daughter."
"It was my pleasure. She was a delight and Harry and Ron really liked having her over."
"So, everything has been resolved?" asked Hermione's father.
"Yes, Dad. Everything is fine now. Harry got a new brother and Ron is now safe."
Her parents looked shocked to their only daughter, "A new brother?"
Remus was the one who explained. "Harry performed an old ritual, which will remove a parents blood and influence on a child and replace it with another Family's blood. Harry used his blood, making Ron officially a Potter and his body changed with the Potter Magicks in his body. He is no longer a Weasley, but really it is now like he was born from Lily and James."
"Amazing, Magic can also do things like this?"
"It is almost a forgotten practice, only the pureblood families still have the knowledge to perform this ritual. You also need quite a bit of power to complete the ritual and the Potter Family is one of the families who still have the information and the power to perform it. It is quite an amazing ritual."
Hermione gave Remus a quick hug and said "See you later, Uncle Moony."
Remus was a little bit shocked when she called him that, she hadn't before, but he quickly composed himself and said "I will see you later, Hermione. Have fun with your parents."
All Grangers said goodbye and then Dan guided his family to the car. Remus watched the three drive off and then also disappeared back to his own family of misfits.
The last two days were a lot more packed than most. The two brothers were gathering all the school stuff in their trunks and making plans with Hermione with the mirror for the new school year. The two also spent a lot of time with both Remus and Sirius, mostly pranking the old Marauders and they pranked just as hard back. Sirius had one more appointment with his counselor before the boys would be going back to school and Remus had left them alone at home while he was escorting Sirius to his appointment.
It was that small amount of time that the boys went to the training area and started to focus on some of their skills. Ron was getting better with his sword and he was now reading through several of Godric Griffondor's own books about swordplay. He also wanted to learn archery and he had started a few excurses with a bow, he was actually very good for a beginner, but it would be some time before he would truly be a master.
Harry on the other hand had mastered his swordplay as far as he could without a real teacher and he was also looking for a secondary weapon. He didn't want to do archery, he felt it wouldn't fit him and so he looked for something else. Finally he found the weapon that he wanted to attack with, a double-bladed axe. But before he could practice his swings with it, he had to gather some more arm strength. Hours were spent just taking his strength up and finally he was strong enough to swing the axe without losing balance.
Unfortunately they couldn't spent that much time on their new weapons, because they were being watched by Sirius and Remus and they didn't think that they would appreciate watching them practice with actual weapons.
The day before they would leave, the house elves had prepared a big meal which would have the perfect moment to end the summer, but then it all changed.
They were interrupted by the wards flaring up, signaling that there was someone at the front door. Harry went towards the door and opened it, not wanting to rely on the house elves all the time and he knew that they were busy with the preparations of the meal.
When he opened the door, he could see several Aurors standing in front of his house with Auror Dawlish in front. He had recognized the man in front of the other Auror and it was one of the Aurors he despiced the most. He was always trying to get everyone in trouble and he was as corrupt and racist as you can get. The only difference between himself and the Death Eaters was that he never got the tattoo they all favored.
"Good afternoon, how can I help you?" Harry asked politely, even if his eyes were slightly cold. He might have hated the man, but he was now a Lord and that meant he had to suffer time talking to the ignorant and the idiots of the world. He didn't have a clue why they were here, but he had a bad feeling in his gut.
"Good afternoon Mr Potter. My name is Auror Dawlish and I am the Head of the Auror department. I am here on business, I have gotten a complaint from Molly Weasley that you have taken your son from her and are holding him hostage in this house. We have a warrant to search the premises, please step aside."
The longer Auror Dawlish was talking in that smug tone, the more angry Harry got, his Magic coiling in his body ready to be released if necessary.
"Let me stop you there, Dawlish. First off, it is Lord Potter and secondly, if you would like the records at the Ministry you would see that there isn't someone with the name of Ronald Bilius Weasley. I am living here with my brother Ron Sirius Potter and my family Sirius Black and Remus Lupin. I have removed my brother from that wrench's house when she tried to kill him and she was arrested for that act. So if you are done with this act, I hope you are smart enough to find the exit."
Auror Dawlish was turning a nice color of purple of rage the longer Harry was talking to him, "Now see here, brat,"
"It is Lord, Dawlish and you are almost insulting the Head of the most Ancient and most Noble House of Potter, be careful. Your House might not survive if you are making assumptions."
"You are threating me?"
"No, Auror Dawlish. I am just saying how it is. Might I see the warrant?"
Auror Dawlish clicked his hand and a different Auror came forward with a paper in his hand. Harry read the warrant and then laughed.
"I am sorry Auror Dawlish but I think you have the wrong person in front of you."
Auror Dawlish snatched the warrant back and read it and Harry saw his face lose all his color. Harry knew what he was reading, it looked like he hadn't checked the warrant before he came here. He probably wanted to be the first on the scene to get inside his home, but it seemed Fate was on Harry's side this time. First of all, it wasn't in a formal setting all their warrants should have been, but most words and sentence were complete nonsense, starting with his name. Instead of Harry Potter, it actually said Parry Hotter.
"Lord Potter, I …" Auror Dawlish tried to save himself, he was actually a Pureblood but from a minor House and if Harry wanted he could severely damage himself and his House because of his actions.
More he couldn't say before Harry interrupted him, "Well, I am glad to see which kind of level the Aurors are, from this fake warrant I presume Molly Weasley hasn't gotten a trial for almost killing her child just because he was sorted in Slytherin?"
Auror Dawlish didn't respond to the accusation but after a few seconds silence, he decided to try to get some good grace back from the Young Lord.
"Molly Weasley has been released claiming that another presence has caused her to perform the act, she was cleared by a Mind Healer who was ordered by the Minister. The evidence was destroyed and it was deemed like the accident was accidental and not on purpose. She was released a few days again."
"Well, I am glad that the Ministry was so good to inform us from that decision. Luckily I had already taken precautions to stop her from ever getting her son back. Please tell Molly Weasley that her actions caused her son's death and my brother was reborn from the ashes. Tell her to never bother him again, or I will personally make sure that she is arrested and this time it would be an one-way ticket to Azkaban where she belongs. If she dares to attack a member of the Most Ancient and most Noble house of Potter, she will be sorry."
Dawlish was still shocked into silence when Harry was finishing his speech and then before she could do anything, he finished "Well, I am glad this was all figured out. Good day to you Sir, I think you know the exit."
And he slammed the door in his face, making him turn an even darker color of purple. He held the warrant in his hand and he tried to shred it into pieces, he had heard the whispers behind his back, but before he could destroy the evidence, the warrant was ripped out of his hands by no other than his boss Amelia Bones.
"Madam?" asked Dawlish shocked, he never even noticed her coming from behind. When he had received the warrant, he made sure that it was not sent upstairs to Amelia's office, he had wanted to go after Harry Potter himself to increase his own position, but she was standing in front of him, with a glare in her eyes.
"Auror Dawlish. Why are you standing in front of Lord Potter's Home with a squad of my Aurors?"
Dawlish could not speak from the intense glare she was giving, but then a different Auror answered the question.
"Madam Bones, Auror Dawlish said there was a warrant to search the premise of this Home to search for Ronald Bilius Weasley, but it turned out to be that the warrant is fake."
"Really?" said Amelia, her stare becoming even more intense, making Dawlish sweat bullets.
The glare was only intensified when one of the other Aurors quickly explained the situation with all the accusations that Lord Potter had thrown out to him and for a moment Dawlish felt that he was staring straight in an Abyss. Madam Bones's eyes had entered maximum level and he almost felt like she was actually killing him with her glare.
"Auror Dawlish, we will be discussing this situation in detail when we arrive back at Headquarters and you will be lucky if you ever can take out a warrant for the coming 5 years. Now go, before you cause a very bigger incident than you have already caused with your actions!"
Dawlish would forever deny it, but he apparated back to Headquarters like Voldemort himself was chasing him and arriving there, the first thing he had to do was change his robes for fresh ones.
In the meanwhile Amelia had heard the whole situation from one of her junior Aurors and she promised herself to look into this situation. Molly Weasley must have gotten help from someone in the Ministry, because there is no way that she would be free based on all the evidence she had heard today. She would keep the accusation from Lord Potter in the back of her head, and she would be keeping a close eye on the Weasley Family Matriarch.
"Scrimgeor, get me the file about Molly Weasley as soon as possible."
"Yes, Madam " She heard and they all apparated back to the Ministry. She would figure this out.
Harry had slammed the door closed with quite a big boom and it had caused the others to came running to the front.
"Harry?" asked Hermione concerned when she could feel the utter rage in their connection. "Who was that?"
"Auror Dawlish with a warrant to search the House because apparently I have kidnapped Ron Weasley according to the wrench."
"WHAT?" said Ron angry.
"It seems like Molly Weasley has been released and she tried to get you back with a fake warrant. I sorted it out, but we have to plan for this. That woman has to go if she is going to go this far, but she needs support from someone in the Ministry to be able to lose those accusations. We have to wait and see what happens. Ron, can you sent a letter to your brothers and see what happened? If they need anything, we have enough space."
"I will do it directly." And Ron sprinted off, scaring both Remus and Sirius who didn't hear what had been going on.
"Pup?" asked Sirius concerned when he saw the complete rage in his godson's eyes. Even the wolf in Remus was getting scared from the amount of hatred coming from Harry. Harry was so angry, his magic was flowing out of him and forming waves around him, he was lucky that he still had his extreme control over his magic, otherwise he probably would have destroyed the Manor.
Remus and Sirius were trying to determine what was upsetting Harry so much, but it seemed like Harry didn't want to respond. It was only after Ron had returned that they finally heard what had happened and they could understand why that would make Harry angry. They couldn't believe that Molly had actually been released from the Ministry. She should have been rotting in Azkaban in this moment, it was a serious crime to harm a child in the Wizarding World. The children should be cherished, especially because most families only conceived one or two children. The laws were extremely strict against Child Abuse and that is why they couldn't understand what was going on.
The family of four continued with their meal but it hadn't been the happy occasion it should have been. Later that night, Ron received a letter back from the twins. They said that they hadn't known that their mother had been released. They assumed she was still in a holding cell, because she hadn't come home, but after Ron's letter, they had told their father and he found out that his wife had been released and was living somewhere else for the moment. It looked like she was trying something to get back in the Weasley home, but Arthur was now preventing that from happening, not wanting to do anything with her at this moment. The twins said that they were okay for this moment, but they would see Ron at Hogwarts and talk it over with him then.
The next morning it was time to go back to Hogwarts. Both Harry and Ron were waking up way before both Remus and Sirius to get ready for Hogwarts. The Marauders duo would Apparate the two brothers so that they would evade the Muggles entrance and that is the reason they were already dressing in robes. Harry was showering and one of the house elves laid down his robe. She had chosen for a nice emerald green robe with a black t-shirt and pants. She had picked out all of his Jewelry and he would wear it proudly. His trunk had been completely packed last night and so he was completely ready.
When he was dressed, he went outside and knocked on Ron's room. He found his brother sitting on his bed, taking some deep breaths.
"Are you okay, Ron?"
"Yes, it is just…"
"Your new name is going create some tension?"
"Yes, probably I will need to get resorted, because Ronald Bilius Weasley is dead and Ron Sirius Potter hasn't been sorted yet."
"Well, you will end up in Slytherin again and we can start fresh with a new year and stop Voldemort from doing something stupid and dangerous."
"Ginny is going to be on school this year. I just wished that Molly hadn't gotten to her."
"Well, it is her fault, if she cannot see the amazing brother that you are, then that is that her loss and my gain." Said Harry with a big grin.
"Thanx brother," said Ron
"Anytime."
The two adults and the two boys walked to the Floo in the Potter Manor and after Sirius showing how it was done for the two boys, they all went through the Floo connection and landed on Platform 3/4. Ron and Harry had opted to go together, which was more for Harry's sake than the other way around, because Ron was there to make sure that Harry didn't fall flat on his face on the platform. And like Harry had predicted, he had needed Ron to stop him from falling. He thanked his brother and gave a glare to Sirius whom was laughing silently when he saw the action.
When Remus had also come through, the two boys quickly moved towards a slower section of the platform to say their goodbyes. Both Harry and Ron hugged the adult standing in front of them, Sirius in Harry's case and Remus in Ron's case before quickly switching around so that both of them had hugged each other. Both the two surviving Marauders were a little bit shocked by the affection the boys were showing them, but they accepted it without much fuss.
They were just happy that they were in each other lives.
Sirius become serious for a moment and said "We wish you a good year on Hogwarts Pronglets, keep up your grades, but also remember to have fun. Remember to write us if you have any problems or have issues or if you just want to let us know about the weeks. Be careful and don't hurt yourself and just have fun."
Remus nodded with Sirius's speech and he had to laugh a little when he saw how serious Sirius was taking this.
"We will be fine, Padfoot, Moony. We will let you know what goes on Hogwarts and we will see you with Christmas." Said Harry with a big smile.
They all gave each other one more hug before leaving the platform. Sirius had an urgent appointment with his counselor, it was supposed to be the last one for quite a while if the results were good and so Sirius was quite nervous to give a good impression. Remus was there for personal support, making it so that his friend would not do something wrong or impatient.
The two brothers walked towards the Hogwarts Express and lifted their trunks into a free compartment. They waited until they could feel Hermione enter the platform with her parents and after she had said goodbye, helped her also with her trunk and moved them all in the free compartment. For a moment nothing happened and then suddenly Hermione lunged towards Ron and hugged the living daylights out of him.
Ron was so shocked that he didn't respond for a second, but then his arms automatically circled around her and hugged her back.
Hermione started sobbing and Ron just tried to calm her down for him to understand what she was doing. Harry had a better idea, he used their connection and took Ron with him to Hermione where she was still standing with tears, but not as emotional as she was on the outside.
In a second, Hermione was also in her mind hugging Ron and Ron was looking at Harry for help. Harry took a quick look around and then saw the problem.
He mouthed "Molly" towards Ron and suddenly he understood. She was crying for him, because she had been released and she was once again free.
"It is okay, Hermione. It will be okay. She cannot hurt me anymore, I am no longer her son, I am Ron Sirius Potter and that will never change anymore."
After 1 hour in their minds, Hermione calmed down. Harry had charmed their compartment so that nobody could enter in there and that they would have some much needed privacy.
They needed to plan for Hogwarts big time.
Harry started "I know we were planning to reveal my true heritage to the whole of Hogwarts, so we have to plan when we are going to be doing that. We first have to talk to the other Slytherins so that they don't feel betrayed by me."
"That is a good point, Harry. The Slytherins see you as their Prince, because you are Lord Slytherin, so it would be good to be in their good graces. It would also solidify your position in the House."
"How so, Hermione?" asked Ron curiously.
"Harry now has the power of the Slytherin House, but if he reveals he is also the Lord of the other Houses, then it would sent a message to the Slytherins and the rest of the school."
"It will sent the message that I am Lord Hogwarts, but I chose to be part of the Slytherin House and not part of the other Houses. The Slytherins will see that I have chosen to be part of their House and that will stroke their ego's a little bit. It is a little bit more politics than I would like, but it seems like the game is going to be starting earlier."
The rest of the train ride was spent cuddling together, drinking and eating some snacks from the trolley, before they know it, the ride was over and they had arrived at the station.
The trio stepped out of the compartment and without any seeing, they quickly sneaked into a free carriage, Harry lingering a little bit to pet the Thestrals pulling it, before it was speeding away.
Harry could feel Hogwarts' Magic welcoming him Home.
"I am back Home, Lady. Let the games begin."
I hope you have enjoyed the new chapter as much as I had writing it. I wish everyone a very happy day and I hope to see you guys soon with a new chapter.
Goodbye, Tot de volgende keer
