Goodbye Alice in Wonderland
Chapter XV
Harry first class of the new semester was Care of Magical Creatures. Hagrid had provided them with fire salamanders. It was fun to watch the salamanders running in the fire while the students surrounded the bonfire talking happily in the warmth. Their only task was to find wood to burn.
However, the other lessons weren't that fun. In Divination, Professor Trelawney was now teaching them palm reading and had stated that Harry had the shortest life line she ever saw. Hermione followed Harry's advice and dropped Divination. Ron was shocked at this.
"Who are you and what have you done to Hermione Granger?" Ron demanded, not believing his ears.
"That class is trash," was Hermione's reply. But even without Divination, she still had other lessons. Every night Hermione was busy with her homework.
Ron finally couldn't stand it anymore. "How does she do it?" he whispered to Harry.
"Doing what?" he asked back.
"That! With all the lessons!" Ron said. "I overheard her talking to Professor Vector about the Arithmancy lesson yesterday. But at the same time she was with us in the Care of Magical Creature lesson!"
Harry sighed. "Ron," he said finally. "Just let it go, alright?"
"What?"
Harry refused to discuss the problem anymore so Ron was forced to drop the issue.

In February, they had a Quiddicth match against Ravenclaw. The Seeker was Cho Chang, Harry's first girlfriend in the original time line. They won easily.
For Harry, time moved past with the lesson, Quidditch Practice and his weekly visits to London townhouse to meet Lucius. He enjoyed his time to the best of his ability. Easter holiday came but third year students had so much homework that they couldn't enjoy the holiday.
Neville looked like he was going to pass out because of the burden. He wasn't the only one. Seamus grumbled all day. "Why doe have to do homework over a holiday?" he asked, muttering angrily.
"Yeah," Dean agreed, looking out the window at the lake and wondering about playing outside.
No one had as much homework as Hermione. Harry didn't mind to let her copy his homework but the girl refused. Ron, eager to borrow Harry's homework, had to face disappointment when Harry refused his plea.
"But I don't understand," Ron said. "You became smart all of sudden."
"Ron," he replied. "I've got Remus as my honorary godfather. I spend summer and Christmas holiday with him. What do you think we're doing?"
Ron looked green at that. The redhead shuddered at the though of having a teacher as relative. Sirius was okay in his opinion but Remus, well…the Defense against the Dark Arts teacher was a better fit with Hermione.
"And then, there is Sirius," he continued. "If I don't learn new spells to defend myself I could spend everyday walking with green hair and green skin."
Ron nodded sympathetically. Growing up with the twins, he understood Harry's plight. Especially since finding out that Sirius and Remus were Marauders, a group of pranksters that Fred and George idolized.
Harry had decided to use that as the reason if people asked him about his sudden development, that Remus used the time to give him lesson at home and Sirius too, taught him many useful spells for prank. After all, in prank war, the faster one to cast the spell was the one who won. This had placated Hermione who demanded to know how Harry mastered spells so quickly now.
Aside from that, Harry was pressured by Oliver Wood on daily basis. The final Quidditch match was going to happen the first Saturday after the Easter holiday against Slytherin. Harry was relieved when the day came. He had enough of Oliver's nagging. The Gryffindor Quidditch Captain seek him every opportunity he had to discuss strategy, giving Harry a headache.
It was a bright day. The sky was blue and the wind blew gently. The entire Hogwarts students were enthusiastic about the last Quidditch game of the year. This time, however, Draco and his cronies left him alone. Ron frowned at this and thought that the Slytherins must be planning something sinister while Hermione was grateful.
Oliver paced around in the changing room like a mad man. Even Fred and George looked solemn, and that was saying something. Angelina, Katie and Alicia were huddled in the corner, talking in a low voice. Finally, Oliver gathered the team and they walked to the pitch together.
Students cheered when they showed up. Among the stand, there was a roar. It came from Luna's famous lion hat. The girl sat at Gryffindor stand, flanked by Hermione and Ron. They waved at him so Harry waved back.
Meanwhile, at the other part of the pitch, sat Slytherin students with Snape on the front row. Next to him was Lucius Malfoy. His husband had told Harry that he was going to watch the final Quidditch game. Draco, apparently, had begged his father for Firebolt but Lucius refused, saying that he had bought eleven new brooms for Slytherin team and therefore Draco didn't deserve the new broom.
The game was begun and it was brutal, if Harry had to say. Whoever won the game won the Quidditch Cup so they had gone all out. He spotted the snitch about an hour later but Draco also saw it and they competed to reach it first.
"Potter caught the Snitch!" Lee Jordan shouted. "The match is won by Gryffindor!"
Gryffindor stand roared out. The students were laughing and smiling at each other. Still holding the Snitch, Harry landed on the ground. His team mate landed down then rushed to hug him.
"We won! We won!" Oliver said, openly crying.
Fred and George danced like maniac around them while Angelina, Alicia and Katie grinned widely.
When Dumbledore gave the huge silver cup, Harry thought that it was one of the happiest moments in his life.

Time passed and now it was June. While fifth year students such as Fred and George, took their OWL the seventh year student such as Percy took their NEWTS. Even though it was summer the students spent their time in library or common room to study. Percy, who needed good grade to enter the Ministry, was easily annoyed these days. But none were as stressed out as Hermione, who took extra lessons. Harry had seen her schedule. On Monday, she had Arithmancy and Transfiguration test at nine o'clock in the morning then continued with Charm and Ancient Rune.
The first test was Transfiguration. Professor McGonagall ordered them to transfigure teapot into turtle.
Hermione annoyed them all by complaining loudly that her turtle looked like sea turtle.
"Oh shut up, Hermione," Ron said. "Mine still breathes fog."
The next test was Charms. Professor Flitwick told them to practice Cheering charm. The day ended well for Harry but not for Hermione and Ron. The girl was too stressed out and the charm came out too strong that as the result Ron had laughed for an hour non stop.
The next day they had Care of Magical Creature, Potions and also Astronomy test. Snape glowered at him the whole time but Harry ignored the man. At Wednesday, they had History of Magic and Herbology lesson. And the last test was Defense against the Dark Arts and Divination at Thursday.
Remus had arranged the test in open space where the student had to reach finish point while battling various magical creatures such as Grindylow, Red Cap, Hinky Punk and Boggart. Hermione made them all laughed when she ran out, screaming loudly.
"My-my boggart…" she stuttered. "It was Professor McGonagall. She said I failed all my tests."
Ron laughed out loud at that. Even Remus looked like he was holding laugh.
"Only you, Hermione," he said, shaking his head fondly.
After that, he and Ron went to North Tower for Divination test. He told Trelawney that he saw Ireland winning Quidditch World Cup this year. Until he left, Trelawney made no other prophecy concerning Wormtail. Maybe he and Lucius had altered the past that the prophecy wasn't valid anymore.
With the test over, Hogwarts students used the opportunity to enjoy the summer. Harry chose to organize a picnic. He had asked Dobby for this for which the elf gladly made the food for Harry. After that he invited Hermione, Ron, Neville, Luna, Ginny and Remus to the picnic. They all accepted it especially Ron who was eager to eat the food then swam in the lake.
Dobby had made baked macaroni, chicken wings, and sweet corn and carrot salad. There were grape and treacle tart for dessert. And for drinks, he had asked for orange juice. Harry knew that at Hogwarts the house elf served pumpkin juice but he preferred fruit juice.
"Well, let sit and eat," he said.
Ron wasted no time to attack the food. Remus and he ate leisurely while talking. Hermione, Ginny and Neville conversed to each other while Luna hummed merrily. After that, they decided to swim around in the lake with exception Remus who opted to read a book.
"Harry, since when you have necklace?" Hermione asked once they were in the water. "And…is that a ring there?"
"Hmm?" he looked down to see his necklace and the wedding ring there. The swimming suit didn't hide it like his clothes did. "Oh, my boyfriend gave this to me," he said nonchalantly.
Neville choked at the revelation while Ginny stared at him wide eyed. Luna stared at him dreamily like usual.
"It's a promise ring," he explained.
"Uhm…you have boyfriend?" Ginny asked.
"Yeah. I told you guys because you're my friends but you can't tell the others yet, okay?"
"Okay, Harry." Ginny said, nodding vehemently. She finally overcame her crush on him.
"Alright, Harry." Neville said. He didn't care that Harry got a boyfriend but for Harry to trust him meant a lot for him.
"I think you and your boyfriend fit together," Luna spoke for the first time, smiling dreamily. "Don't forget to invite me to your wedding."
"I won't forget you," he replied.
"Okay," Luna said.
Hermione stared at them as if they had lost their mind but decided not to say anything. She had gotten used to Luna's oddity now.
They spent a few moments playing in the water before heading back to Hogwarts. Harry walked with Remus together while his friends were in front of him.
"You seem tense," Remus commented. He had watched Harry and the boy seemed getting tense as the sun set. It was different with his carefree and happy behavior with his friends earlier.
"I just remembered some unpleasant thing," he replied.

Meanwhile, at the same place in Malfoy Manor, Lucius Malfoy strolled down to the dungeon. The torch lit the hall, gave off an eerie atmosphere. He finally arrived at his destination, the cell where the traitorous rat was kept.
Wormtail's eyes widened in disbelief when the rat saw him. "You!" he rasped out, pointing the dirty finger at him.
"Crucio," Lucius drawled. How dare this low creature disrespect him?
Wormtail fell to the floor, writhing in pain.
Lucius ended the curse a moment later. He wanted nothing more than to kill the worthless rat in front of him but, unfortunately, the rat was still needed. He waved his wand to the cell and the lock opened.
"Get out of there, you pathetic being," he drawled coldly. "I have mission for you."
"Of course," Wormtail replied, still in pain. He didn't dare to object for he knew the length of malice Lucius was capable of.
"Find the Dark Lord," Lucius ordered. "It's time for his return."
Author's Note:
Hi. Thank for you who gave me reviews especially you guys who reviewed for every chapter I posted.
Now, for some of your question. Harry will still name his children the same. They are James, Al and Lily for him so he wouldn't change the name. Then as for taking Harry from the Dursleys would affect him. Well, Harry returned to the past with his memory intact so there is no point of having him staying and laboring for them.
As for ensuring the future would come, what I mean by that is the future where he had his children with happy family and friends. Also for Narcissa, Harry and his friends ran away because of Dobby help. And Voldemort, angry that the Malfoy once again failed him, killed Narcissa as punishment. Which prompted Lucius to lie to save Harry life. Why he divorced Narcissa? Well, he was married to Harry in the future and had three kids together and happy with his life. Of course he would help Harry.
And you're right about his sudden development in school. I overlooked that part so I put the explanation there. As well as for the other part, well, I dislike angst so pardon me for taking easy route as Harry explanation. It's tiring to read a few chapters where they had all the problem and the misunderstanding.
