The Room of Requirements had been badly damaged during the fire in the War. The proceeding battle on the grounds had outed it completely to the world. The magic that allowed the Room to manifest as it had, was considered Dark despite it only being on the heavier Grey side, this meant the Room had to fall into nothing but memory. Feeling the magic that settled in the hidden room and seeing it once again, was wonderful. There was nothing like the first time, but it still was a wonder.
"It's wonderful to see it again." Neville gave a sigh of relief, smiling lowly.
The twins nodded, flopping onto a small couch. They then pulled the new Hufflepuff between them, causing a blush to form on his face. Harry chuckled, taking a seat in one of the spare armchairs. The four of them became quiet before the Boy-Who-Lived noticed a fireplace. He didn't really have a chance to say anything, it lit up and out walked a silver-haired, dreamy girl.
She gave the group a sweet smile, skipping over to them and giving them all a warm hug. They all smiled and gave her a sweet squeeze. Harry lightly rubbed her head, his eyes raking over her to ensure that there weren't any injuries.
"I am fine." She hummed, soon sitting in the free chair. "What is the plan?" She tilted her head.
"No questioning?" Fred hummed, leaning forward.
She gave a bell-like laugh, lightly tapping her eye.
"I am the new Goddess of Seeing." She hummed. "However, things are much fuzzier than one would think." She giggled with a closed-eyed smile.
The three others blinked some while Harry laughed with a beaming smile. He remembered that only he was really close to Luna. She was too odd for their taste or understanding. Once he calmed down, and the others were able to get themselves to understand, he took on a more serious expression.
"Luna's right, we need to make a plan. We also need to find the other gods and help them remember if they believe it's all a dream."
The four nodded with the Seer giving them a distant look.
"Hermione is a Goddess." She hummed, her expression twisting in a sense of confusion and mild frustration. "There's one more, but I cannot see him... Too many wrackspurts..." She sighed heavily, glaring at the air.
Harry frowned a little, nodding.
"At least we know one other person is a God."
The twins groaned, George scowling some. He had taken the news the hardest when it all was outted. He even tried to make the Golden Boy his partner, and to give the money back! The raven-haired man couldn't take either offer. He knew neither of them would've stolen from him, not purposely or maliciously anyhow.
"She's apologized, and she's become a Claw that's shy and quiet. I'm not saying to forgive her completely, but to at least give her a chance. Besides, she thinks all of this was just a dream, hating her now would be hating someone innocent."
The twins sighed, George's scowl only softening some. Harry sighed but didn't say anything else on the topic. They, especially George, had a right to be angry.
"Let's focus on making a decent plan." Everyone nodded at that. "First things first, is that we need to get Harry Potter away from the Dursleys, or at least Vernon."
"Only that whale?" Neville leaned forward some, looking at his friend closely. He then smiled softly. "You've helped those two realize their mistakes?"
"Before they could even make them. Aunt Flower is a depressed woman who's living with a violently angry person, and Dudley didn't really have any rules when growing up. These people are different from what I grew up with, Dudley has real friends and manners, while Petunia is trying to keep me safe the best she can." The old soul explained.
The group nodded, the dreamy girl giving a sweet smile.
"They won't die like before... Might live happily if they can get away from him." She nodded a little before refocusing on the silent group.
"I was hoping you would say that." The dark-haired boy smiled at her, relaxing more in his seat.
"You're also getting Sirius out; wouldn't that be a conflict?" George leaned forward, raising an eyebrow.
"It would, if I don't get the two on the same page." He hummed with a smile.
The group nodded before Fred leaned forward this time.
"We need to get you Scabbers. He'll be the one thing you need to air-seal this case."
"That's true... I didn't really think too much about that..." He murmured.
"Okay, so the first order of the plan is to get Harry Potter, legally out of Vernon's- and by proxy Dumbledore's- abusive sights. To do that, we need Sirius to have a full trial with Scabbers revealed as Peter. I believe during that we need to convince Mr. Lupin that Sirius was innocent all along, hopefully rekindling their friendship. After the trial, we'll need Sirius and Petunia to have a civil conversation in hopes of allowing the two to mend some bridges." Neville listed off, scribbling it all down on a piece of paper.
"Yes, I'm already talking with Remus on Yule break. I'll try and convince Aunt Petunia to get a divorce from Vernon before she meets with Sirius. It'll be a way of showing that she's a different person."
The group nodded agreed and the Hufflepuff wrote it down.
"You should try and befriend Hermione, maybe help her understand her unusual dreams?" The blonde woman giggled a little. "It would be easier for her and us if she fully and truly remembers."
The three men sitting on the couch scowled a little before relenting and marking it down.
"What about Dumbledore? We can't have him believing he's all powerful." The twins commented together.
Harry nodded, smirking in a way only a Slytherin Heir could.
"I am Heir to many ancient and Noble houses, meaning I have many seats. Also, wouldn't it be beneficial for the House of Weasleys to have their own seats?" He gleamed menacingly.
The twins blinked before they matched his smirk, sending chills down the innocent man sitting between them. They truly did belong to both Gryffindor and Slytherin.
"Yes, it would do just well." Fred Weasley began.
"We should become Heirs-" George continued in their twin fashion.
"Next Fools Day! We should-"
"Make ourselves known then, yes?" Their voice joined together as they turned to the old soul.
The raven-haired boy chuckled at their ways before nodding. He could already picture the chaos that would ensue from their claims as Heirs. Sure, they weren't the eldest children, and their parents chose to make Dumbledore their proxy, but he was sure the seats wouldn't reject them. After all, George had done wonderfully in their original time when it came to Wizengamot.
"The seats would accept both of you as Heirs and Lords." The dreamy girl suddenly pipped up, making the twins beam.
"Wonderful!" Neville chimed in, a not-so-innocent giggle leaving his mouth. "We got the twins on the role, but what about the other seats that he proxies for?"
That did get them to pause before Harry made a rather annoyed sound, his face scrunching up. He didn't have an answer for that, and neither did the others. Truth be told, there was no way of knowing how many people Dumbledore had convinced to give him their seats. They never found out as, because of the headmaster's old age, some families didn't even know of their rights!
Luna hummed, reaching over gently swatting away the possible Wrackspurts and Nargles. When she deemed that she had swatted those pesky creatures away, she rubbed his head. Her actions warmed and calmed the old soul, who leaned into her touch willingly. He was almost desperate for a true familial touch.
"Do not stress. We do not need to expose so many seats. We only need to persuade and convince the seats to your ambitions and goals." Her soothing tone calmed them, leaving them a clearer mind.
Harry straightened after a moment, taking a deep breath before nodding. That was right, currently, he held the most seats, all he needed was the ability to convince the Darks and Neutrals to side with him on whatever he wanted.
"Thank you, Luna."
The dreamy girl only gave a calm nod before she began to look around the room with a look of wonder and calmness. They all went silent as Neville rewrote their list multiple times before just settling on something.
"Here." Was all he said as he finally showed them what he was writing.
Current Plans of 1991 by the Golden Gods:
1. Get Harry Potter away from Abusers and Dumbledore's power. Get Sirius out of jail LEGALLY this time and get Remus to see the truth. Have Petunia get a divorce
2. Once Sirius is out and*******SANE\, have him and Petunia meet and talk. Once they are in agreement\, have them see the lies of Dumbledore.***
3. Weaken and plant seeds of doubt about Dumbledore to the public. [Unsure\, the thought of Fire and Lightening]
4. Get Owl to remember
5. Find the last God and help them remember
They nodded, with the twins smirking a little at their nickname. Harry then chuckled a little as he noticed a small detail.
"Golden Gods?" He mused, getting everyone's attention to it.
The dirty blond shrugged with a sweet smile.
"It'll throw anyone who reads it off. It'll only show that someone wants Harry away from an abusive situation and Dumbledore."
The twins threw their arms around the man between them, happily chirping about corrupting him so perfectly. It was a little funny. However, it wasn't long after that they left to get some good rest. Luna was a bit sad about this, finding herself becoming bored at having nothing to do while waiting for school. The others could only sympathize and give her words of encouragement and a few suggestions to help the time pass by.
In the Tower, the old soul sighed. This felt like going to war, which to an extent it was, yet it felt far more exhausting than before. Was it because he had gone through some? Because he was technically in his two hundreds? It could've been a number of things, but he really hated it if he was honest. The only thing he did like, was that he was able to see Draco again. Maybe this time he could have a good relationship with the platinum blond.
With that thought, Harry fell into a rather deep sleep.
