Hogwarts students were all eating their breakfast, Harriet Potter was sitting at the Gryffindor table talking with her friends, Callum Lupin-Black, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger.

Even though they were twenty years old, they still had to go to school to catch up with everything they missed due to Dumbledore's interference. Dumbledore removed very important classes, like healing, warding, spell crafting, ect. leaving them dumbed down on purpose. Because of that they had to spend six more years in Hogwart.

The new minister of magic, Thomas Slytherin, ordered it, when he saw how bad the education system of Hogwarts was. Many still remembered the disbelieving look the man sent them when he asked about the system. He immediately put the classes back and in a Wizard Gamot session, it was decided that everybody from the fourth to seventh year needed to learn and repeat every core subject, which had been updated and every class they had chosen.

After this many people lost faith in Dumbledore after they found out that the man purposefully kept them dumbed down. So when Dumbledore started saying that Thomas Syltherin was the Dark Lord, no one believed him since they thought that Dumbledore just wanted them back into his pockets, and continued living in fear of something that wasn't even there. There still were people who blindly followed Dumbledore like the Potters, Sirius and Remus Lupin-Black, Hermione Granger, the Weasleys, Hestia Jones, Elphias Doge and a few other people, but the majority was against him. They weren't happy that their children had to go longer to school and learn about 'dangerous' and 'dark' magic, but there was nothing that they could do about it.

Also, Thomas Slytherin started to look into the children, who disappeared from Hogwarts, without a single trace. That was when the truth came out. No one noticed, when Alex Potter disappeared without a single trace. For seven years no one noticed and cared about what happened to the boy, since everyone was busy with Harriet. That was a blow to the Potters reputation, when people started asking where their son was and why they didn't notice his disappearance, which the Potters obviously couldn't answer. Many people started looking at them differently and stopped hero worshiping them and Harriet, when they noticed that they were just power hungry and selfish people.

People started avoiding them and avoided inviting them anywhere. The parents told their children to avoid Harriet Potter and the people who were willing to associate with her, since they were bad news, in their books.

So popular Harriet Potter became an outsider to most people. No one wanted to associate with her and her friends, who firmly were in Dumbledore's pocket.

So it came that Harriet, Hermione, Ron and Callum found themselves being outcasted.

Currently they were talking amongst each other about the newest developments. Lily, James, Dumbledore, Sirius, Remus and the Weasleys tried to find Alex, but without luck. It was like the boy disappeared from the earth's surface. Everyone seemed to forget that Alex wasn't biologically a Potter and neither was he bloodadopted, making it impossible to find him.

Suddenly the doors to the Great Hall opened and in walked Thomas Slytherin, followed by Amelia Bones and Dolores Umbridge, who sadly still worked at the Ministry. Followed by the Potters, the Lupin-Blacks, the Weasleys, the Tonks family, the Malfoys, Barty Crouch Jr. and the Lestrange Twins, who were all three declared innocent, being forced by Bellatrix Lestrange, who was executed, Regulus Black, Corus Lestrange and a few other people.

"Why did you call us, Albus? Unlike you who apparently has to much free time on his hand, other people don't have much free time.", said Thomas Slytherin, annoyed. Dumbledore wanted to curse the man who ruined everything, but he tried to maintain his grandfatherly appearance. "I don't know what you are talking about my boy", he answered with his fake grandfather smile. "I told you a thousand times, Albus, don't call me your boy. You are merely the Headmaster of Hogwarts, nothing more. We don't have any other close relationship", Thomas said annoyed.
