Recap (a bit long):
The last 1-2 months has been mostly uneventful. Neville has fully joined the group and can be seen with us whenever not in class and when we share classes. Idiots 1 and 2 always glare but most of the Gryffindors from our year mainly just ignores me and by extension my group. That's better than them antagonizing us, Neville says some older years have told the younger years " Don't talk to Prince Jr and his friends and if you have to, be polite. He's the Professor's favorite and non of them will take your side if either you do something to him or his friends, or one of them does something to you. And yes, that includes Longbottom now." We all laughed when he told us that.
He also said Granger through a fit when someone stole the list of top students of each year and plastered it all over the school. The list for our year was 1. Prince Harrison, 2. Malfoy Draco, 3. Granger Hermione. He said she was pissed that 2 "Stuck up purebloods" could get better grades then her when she had all O's, and "They probably used their money and favoritism to buy their grades." Which wasn't true.
Mama told all of us one night that if it wasn't for the potions grade being just essay based in first year, that based on her essays (which barely made the cut for O and not EE, his words not mine), Her potions grade will most likely go down to an A when we start making potions.
I snagged one of her essays and have to agree. I wonder how she had such a good grade last time. Oh right, she probably was using one of the Potter potions book since James' father was good at potions.
I've been getting to know dad more and I am so excited for when he get's his body back. I can't wait until i can hug him. I agree with mama in the, no physical contact with him while in Quirrell's body. He pouted when I said that.
Haha, the Dark Lord, pouting that his son won't hug him and his husband won't kiss him. I actually heard him grumbling about that when he thought he was alone. Most people wouldn't believe the Dark Lord could feel anything but hate.
I accidently called mama, mama in front of Neville during one of the times we snuck him into the Slytherin common room. Neville was shocked and that's how he found out he is my mom and the dark lord is my dad, after he vowed to never tell anyone outside of our group. He was more focused on the 'evil dark lord' being marred to the dungeon bat, than him being my dad.
A week ago Dray and I told our group, which did include Neville, that my dad is possessing one of our professors and will be regaining his sanity and body over Yule. Neville and the twins were a bit scared but mama explained the dad was being controlled the month before he died and all the muggle killings were actually committed by rouge or fake death eaters. He also explained what the dark sides actual goal was.
That prompted Neville to ask about the Lestrange's attacking his parents. Mama replied by saying that that was the first time they did anything like that and he had a theory but had to confirm it before telling us, though Dray and I already knew the theory.
The only other thing was there were rumors that the DMLE was investigating Dumb-as-a-door, but not sure if that was true. Dumbles has also called me to two meetings with him. I brought mama both times and will continue to do so. He talks to me about being top of my year and that I should befriend idiots 1 and 2. I said I was friends with the 5 oldest Weasley's but will not befriend the other 2 or Granger. Mama asked why he even cared. He gave a sorry excuse for a reason and we left. I've also found my and my friends' food laced with a few compulsion which mama and I just store away as evidence.
All 9 of us have started having all our food checked since but luckily it was a one time thing.
Halloween Feast
All 9 of us were enjoying our dinner. "What do you guys do for Halloween?" Neville asked. We all stopped and looked at him. "Did I say something wrong?" He asked, sounding worried.
"No no, it just. The 8 of us celebrate Samhain, not Halloween. Did you not receive your invitation to the Samhain ball tomorrow?" I replied. "My family is hosting this year, like they do most. I know that they always invite your family but you never come. We always assumed your gran just threw out the invite before opening it, but since you're in Hogwarts this year, you should've received your own invite." Dray said. "We didn't start-" "Being able to go-" "Because of our-" "Mom, until we-" "Started attending Hogwarts." The twins added.
Neville looked at us shocked. "I never received an invite... but I did see Ronald and Granger ripping up someone's mail that looked like an invitation. I just assumed it was one of their. It didn't even cross my mind they could have ripped up my mail." He informed us.
"I'm giving you your invitations in person from now on and will be telling any family who hosts to send it to me to give to you." Dray said. "What is Samhain?" Neville asked. "It's one of the olde magik holidays. Samhain is one of the two days of the year where the veil between the living and the dead is at it's thinnest. On this day, families usually perform rituals to stay connected to their family magic, and you can talk to passed loved ones, and some people and or families have their own traditions. Tonight we perform the rituals and tomorrow we go to the ball." I explained.
"Rituals? This sounds like one of those things that was made illegal after the first war, doubt the headmaster would let anyone leave. And what about school tomorrow?" Neville asked. "Many people tried to make it illegal but never succeeded. If he tries to do anything it will be seen as discrimination. The only rule is we can't practice on school grounds and as long as we have an adult to vouch that we went to the ball, we are excused from school tomorrow." Theo explained.
"Do I have to participate in the rituals or can I just go to the ball?" Neville asked. "Not everyone is comfortable with rituals during Samhain. So you don't have to perform a ritual to be allowed to go to the ball. It's a day off of school, rituals or no rituals." Blaise answered. "And you said I can come to the ball?" Neville asked. "yes, and if you need to get something to wear we can get permission from our head of houses and go shopping tomorrow." Dray offered. "That would be great." Neville replied, smiling.
"Fred, George, why are you being quiet?" Gregory asked the twins after a few minutes. "I'm trying to get George to respond, but he won't. Not even through our link." Fred answered, waving his hand in his brothers face.
I looked at George's face. He had a far away look and slight smile. It also looked like he was staring at someone. "Who is he staring at?" I asked. Fred followed his brothers gaze then made a deadpan face. "Can we make a plan for George to get his inheritance test over Yule break when we go to Diagon Alley? We need to know who his soulmate is because I this is getting bad." Fred said.
"Is he staring at Diggory again?" Neville asked. Fred nodded. "I'll tell dad and aunt Cissa about that, shouldn't take to long. I would suggest asking either your dad, Bill, or Charlie to come with you just in case." I answered.
"Inheritance test?" Neville asked. "Inheritance tests can show who someone's soulmate is when you are 13." Dray answered.
The troll should be coming soon. "Hey Neville, you said you were having a rodent problem in your common room and dorms, right?" I asked. "Oh yeah. You said you had something that could help." He replied. "Yes, but, try to make sure no one sees you bring this in or our and to return him to me tomorrow." I said. "Him?" He asked.
~"Come on out Loki, and keep asssss hidden as possssssssible."~ I hissed. I felt Loki slither from around my neck, down my arms, and wrap around my wrist before peeking his head out.
"You're letting me borrow Loki?" He whispered in aww. "An actual snake in the lion's den." Blaise said, laughing quietly. "Yeah, don't worry, I already told him not to bite anyone and he knows how to stay hidden, just let me remind him real quick." I said, smiling. He was still staring at me in shock.
~"Remember Loki. You need to find and get Pettigrew, and he needsssss to be alive. You can immobilizze him if needed but don't kill or eat him. And ssssstay hidden. Underssssstood?" Other then that you can eat any other ssssstray ratsssss and micccce you can find.~ I hissed at him. ~"Find the amingusssss rat and don't kill or eat him, and only let the plant boy sssssee me."~ He hissed back. I replied yes.
"Neville, give me your wrist. This is gonna feel a bit weird at first." I said. He smiled and gave me his hand. I grabbed it and put the wrist that Loki was wrapped around right next to his. Loki slithered from my wrist to his and I watched as he disappeared up his arm.
"That felt weird." Neville said, causing all of us to laugh.
We chatted for a while until the door busted open and Quirrell ran in. "A TROLL IN THE DUNGEONS!" He yelled before falling and passing out. The great hall erupted into chaos and panic.
Dray, mama, and I knew about this so we pretended to be shocked/scared/worried. Mama quickly left with most the other professors to go down to the dungeons. "Everyone, please calm down. Prefects, guide your houses to your common rooms." Dumbles said, noticeably waiting until mama was our of earshot to say that, until following the professors out.
"Looks like that meeting with Dumbledor is canceled. Good for me." I said. "Lucky you. Guessing you guys are just staying here, I have to go with my housemates. Bye guys, see you guys tomorrow." Neville said. "Yes, get going. Ask Professor McGonagall about tomorrow and be ready to leave after breakfast." Dray said. "And make sure no one is left in the bathroom!" I yelled to him as he ran off to the departing Gryffindor's.
All the Gryffindor's and Ravenclaw's left, leaving us Slytherin's and the Hufflepuff's.
"On attend juste le retour d'Oncle Sev, puis on va chercher la pierre? (We just wait for Uncle Sev to come back, then we go get the stone?)" Dray asked. "Oui. Nous attendons que maman vienne nous chercher, puis nous utilisons un charme, ne me remarquez pas et nous nous faufilons. En attendant, nous attendons et je vois Diggory venir ici. (Yes. We wait for mama to get us then we use a notice me not charm and sneak off. Until then, we wait, and I see Diggory coming over here. )" I replied, smiling.
"Hello George, Fred, Prince, malfoy, Not, Zabini, Cabbe, and Goyle. How are all of you?" He asked, standing right behind George. We all saw George's smile widen.
""Hey Diggory/Cedric." We all replied. "Just wanted to see how you guys are doing." He said. "We're good, thanks for checking. I didn't expect Hufflepuff to also stay behind." I replied.
"Yeah. Professor Sprout told the prefects to make sure we stayed here. While we don't have to go down to the dungeons, like you Slytherin's, but we still have to go down and she wanted to make sure we were safe." He answered. "That's thoughtful." Theo said. "You care more about our safety than the headmaster." Gregory said.
"... I want to give him the benefit if the doubt... but he waited until Professor Prince couldn't hear him." Cedric said, sounding hesitant.
"Anyway, I also came over here to ask if I could have a quick chat with George." He said, putting his hands on George's shoulder's and looked over his shoulder to look at George's face. George's face turned red and he quickly agreed. He stood up and they walked to a corner where we couldn't hear them.
"If those two aren't soulmates, I'll hug Ronnykins and Ginnykins and tell them I love them." Fred said. "We'll get the confirmation in 2 months." I said, taking a sip of my pumpkin juice.
We watched and saw George's face turn pink and try to hide his excitement. Cedric also started smiling and his face turned red. They stayed over there for about a minute before coming back over.
"I'll see you this Saturday." Cedric said, smiling then walking back to his table. "Does Georgy have a date?" Blaise teased. George snapped out of the stupor he was in and smiled at us. "I got a date Saturday!" He basically squealed. "So I get to annoy Percy for the day, or do I have permission to prank people around school by myself?" Fred asked. "Don't have to much-" "Fun without you." They said, laughing.
We waited for a while until mama and aunt Pomona ran into the great hall. They both looked relieved to see their respective houses stayed here. We were informed that the troll was taken care of and started leaving.
Dray and I got to the back of the group, applied a notice-me-not charm on both of us and snuck away from everyone else. I guided Dray up to the third corridor. We surprisingly didn't run into anyone on the way up.
"As-tu ton violon? (Do you have your violin?)" Dray asked. I took out my violin from my pocket and unshrunk it. We nodded at each other. He creaked open the door and I started playing a few cords.
After about a minute we entered to see Fluffy asleep. I kept playing until we jumped down the trap door, when I reshrunk my violin. We quickly made it through the obstacles. It was much faster this time around. We soon made it to the mirror of eriside.
This time I didn't see the Potter's. I saw me about 17, with Dray with his arms around my waist, my parents right behind me, his parents right behind him. We were surrounded by a bunch of people it took me a bit to recognize them. On my side was George with Cedric, Fred with someone I recognized as Lee Jordan, Sirius and Remus, Barty Crouch Jr, an older male version of Luna, and a girl about a year younger than me who looked like a combination of Jr and Male Luna. On Draco's side was Blaise, Theo, Vincent, Gregory, a sane looking Bellatrix, the Lestrange brothers, a boy our age who looked like a male carbon copy of Bellatrix, Percy with Daphne, Charlie with Victor Krum, and Bill with Fleur. We all had wide smiles and looked so happy.
I then saw Dray and I had matching rings and bonding bracelets. I felt my face heat up at that.
"Is this?" Dray asked. "The mirror of eriside. Shows ones greatest desires... Now to get the stone and give it to mama before anyone notices we're missing." I replied.
I looked into the mirror and focused until I felt a weight in my pocket. I reached into my pocket and pulled out the stone. "Looks more boring then I expected." Dray said. "SO underwhelming. Just looks like a normal crystal." I said, putting it back into my pocket.
We quickly left and hurried back to our common rooms. Dray went ahead up to bed as I went to my mom's room.
I didn't even bother with knocking and just went in. "Mama~" I called out in a sing-songy voice. "Harrison! What have I said about just walking into rooms?!" He reprimanded. "Not to, but we got the stone." I said, showing off the ruby looking stone.
Mama gently took it from me and placed it in a box with protection and sealing charms on it. "Did you lend Loki to Neville?" He asked. "Yep. Though I thought you would be against me trying to get Black out of Azkaban." I said.
"No one deserves Azkaban unless they're horrible people. If Black is truly innocent he should get out. I understand you had a good relationship with him in your last life and I don't want to deprive you of the possibility of having that again. Also with what Cissa told me about what he was like before Hogwarts, we should also get him tested for compulsions. " He explained. "Can we ask James and Regulus tonight if they know of any evidence that can help him?" I asked. Mama smiled, "Yes, we can ask them." He replied.
"When are we going to the forest?" I asked. "Be ready and in the common room by midnight, then we will meet up with Flitwick's dark Ravenclaws in the forest, where families will pick us their kids if they choose or just do their own rituals." He answer. "Ok mama, see you later." I said, giving him a hug. He tightly hugged me back. "Love you little snake. See you at midnight." He said, placing a kiss on my head. "Love you mama. Will dad be there?" I asked.
He made a bit of a frown. "Sorry, but no sweety. It would be suspicious if he came. But he has already promised he will be with us for every holiday and holiday rituals, starting this Yule." He said. I felt a bit disappointed at that.
"Hey, hey. It's ok. I know you want to spend the holiday with him, so do I, but if Dumbledor gets suspicious, that could be dangerous." He said. "Ok mama, I understand." I replied. He smiled and gave me another kiss on my head then I left to go get ready.
The Next morning, Dumbledor's office, Dumblebitches POV
"NONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONO!!!!!! THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING! First Severus gets his bastard devil spawn back! Then they get their lordship and heirship!. Then almost everyone in that little devil spawns year views him as a saint! What the Dursley's did to him is revealed! I'm now being investigated! A troll gets into the school! And now that stupid stone is gone!" I screamed, throwing spells around my office in pure rage.
I heard laughter and stopped, looked over to see Phineas bloody laughing.
"What are you laughing at?!" I exclaimed. "You, you senile old goat." He said, smiling. "What are you talking about?" I asked. "You really thought that no one would find out about what you did. The prince family probably knows you and the mudblood, Lily were the ones who took him. And what did you think would happen if you have a magical child be abused. They're gonna find out, and you are gonna be ruined." He said, laughing even harder.
I felt my rage grow and I silenced his portrait. I need to figure out what to do.
In a space between dimensions, spying on Dumbles, third Person
"Ooooooooo, this looks fun~" Balance giggled. "NO! You are the reason we are in this mess. You are to do Nothing!" Magic accused, glaring at the stronger deity.
"How is this my fault? We sent him back in time so he can fix the mess we aren't allowed to." Balance whined. "You took Albus Dumbledor's soul sheet off Dark's desk, wrote a bunch of random things on it then put it with the already dead souls list. So now he isn't how he was supposed to be, and is still alive." Light stated, glaring at her cousin.
"Why did you do that? I was gonna talk to Light about her making a light lord to balance out a dark lord. Now he's a thing and it took us like 50 years to find his soul sheet." Dark asked her cousin.
Balance looked around, upset. "You three only have to focus on the magicals. I have to also keep an eye on the nonmagicals. I have to keep a balance between them." Balance said. "You have to talk to us with decisions like that. We all are in charge of all dimensions and if one gets out of balance it can cease to exist, which then effects at least 100 other dimensions." Light said, getting very angry.
"Aunty, how is she the goddess of balance again?" Death asked magic. "We don't really know. Her powers make sense for it, but I think the war caused her and a few others to have some... episodes. Also most of her personality is a part of her originally being a trickster demon before she became a god." Magic explained, as Light and Balance started arguing.
"Why can't we just turn back time and kill him?!" Balance exclaimed. "Time and Reality both said we can't." Dark answered. "Time said something about 25 being the cutoff, not fully sure, but he also said luckily not too much damage to the timeline had happened so just sending Harrison back after telling him the truth, was enough to start getting it back on track and undo most of the damage." Death said.
Balance grunted.
"Balance, just talk to us. It allows us to avoid all this anger and stress by just talking before hand." Dark said calmly. "I thought you would be more angry." Light said to her younger twin.
"About what that wizard did to a member of the Slytherin house, a member of the Prince house, and the child of those two? Yes, I was furious. The forbidden isles now have a new creature from how angry I was. I'm only allowed to pick up to three chosen per generation. This time they are gonna get happy lives." Dark said.
"Oh, so I actually messed up." Balance finally realized. "THAT'S WHAT IT TOOK?!" Light screamed. "DARK IS NEVER ANGRY!" Balance screamed back. They two started arguing again.
