The weeks passed quickly, Harry found himself healing and spending more and more time with Salazar, helping him prepare for the first year that Hogwarts would be open to students. A few days before students arrived found Harry perched next to Salazar's cauldron, watching the Potions Master make yet another nutrient potion for him to drink.

"Salazar must I drink all these potions? They taste awful. Please don't make me drink anymore."

Harry turned emerald puppy eyes on him, appealing to get his way. Salazar chuckled and shook his head.

"My imp, you may be healthier than you were a month ago, but you do not weigh nearly enough yet. These potions help that, as I've told you many times."

Harry pouted and watched as Salazar stirred one final time before extinguishing the flame. Watching Salazar brew was one of Harry's favorite things to do. His hands were captivating, the way they moved almost hypnotized him. He had spent hours in the lab, just observing as the older man brewed healing potions, poisons, and potions of his own design.

"Salazar, how am I going to fit in with the other students? I can't exactly speak to them. No one but you understands me. I thought I'd be speaking English again after my magical exhaustion wore off."

Salazar grabbed Harry's face in his hand and tilted it up to look at him.

"Should you need to speak to others, I will translate as I have for Godric, Rowena, and Helga. I am quite pleased that I am the only one who you share your opinions with. I find myself not wanting to share your company with others, cupitus*."

Harry bit his lip and looked at Salazar apprehensively. He knew he was attracted to the older wizard, but he didn't know how serious Salazar was about his feelings.

"Sal, what are we? In my time people don't treat each other the way you treat me unless they mean a great deal to each other."

"Little Speaker, do not think for even one moment that I do not care deeply for you. You mean more than I could ever imagine to me. I am courting you, Harry, doing my best to win your favor so that when you are of age I may ask for your hand in marriage."

Harry turned bright red and his eyes displayed his surprise. "Marriage? Y-you want to marry me?"

Salazar laughed and kissed Harry lightly, hugging his small body close.

"Of course I want to marry you, Harry. You are everything I've ever wanted. When you are old enough we will marry. In the meantime, we must meet with Godric and create your identity for this time."

Harry smiled and wrapped his arms around Salazar's neck as the older wizard picked him up. Although he was perfectly capable of walking again, Salazar preferred to carry him when the two of them were together. It was a point of discord between Salazar and Godric and Harry loved watching the way Godric got riled up when he was wrapped in Salazar's arms.

Salazar carried him up to the Defense classroom and settled him on Godric's desk before calling the other wizard.

"Idiot Gryffindor! You have guests! Come entertain us."

Harry laughed as Godric entered, muttering about impatient Slytherins with no manners.

"I'm here you pompous fool. I knew you and your pet were coming. No need to get your knickers in a twist." Godric grinned at the scowl on Salazar's face. "By the way, Rowena wants her knickers back."

Harry shot a Stinging Hex at Godric before either man could blink, grinning innocently at the scowls turned his way.

"He should not insult you. Now, we need to plan my identity. I was thinking a French name."

Hermione Granger was a very smart witch, no one could argue that. But even she was stumped right now. She had been observing the history books in the month since the stupid Potter boy had disappeared. Despite Dumbledore's reassurances that Potter was dead, Hermione wasn't so sure. She'd been searching for instances of mysterious disappearances in the past when she noticed that the books she'd read multiple times before were changing.

History was changing, not in drastic ways, but changing nonetheless. The event that clued her in to the change was found in Hogwarts a History. Where previously the book had changed that Slytherin and Gryffindor had a duel because of Muggleborn witches and wizards, it now stated that Slytherin dueled his best friend to defend his spouse, someone Gryffindor had insulted from his first day at the school. And Slytherin's famed disdain for Muggles was actually explained in more than a few cryptic sentences.

Henry du Noir, although a halfblood wizard, was raised in the Muggle world by his mother's relatives. Du Noir was persecuted and beaten by these relatives for being magical, much like many witches and wizards of the time. It is unknown how du Noir escaped the persecution of the witch-hunts, but it is known that he survived long enough to enroll in Hogwarts at the age of 14. Rumor says that after hearing of du Noir's childhood, Slytherin became increasingly critical of the Muggle world. When Slytherin and du Noir wed in 992, Slytherin coldly informed his Co founders that as long as his house was part of Hogwarts, no prejudice person like those Muggles would be admitted to said house. This was said to be his wedding present to his young husband.

Hermione had just discovered this passage the day before. That night, the most curious thing happened. When Dumbledore entered the Great Hall for dinner, he was carrying the Sorting Hat with a look of anger and disappointment on his face. He looked down at Slytherin table before clearing his throat.

"Due to some recently found clauses in the Hogwarts charter, all students will be resorted now, despite it being so close to the end of the year. We will start with the First Years and move up from there. Please approach as you hear your name called."

Professor McGonnagal stood and started calling the names of students. To the surprise and astonishment of everybody in the Hall, almost every single Slytherin was resorted into Gryffindor and almost every Gryffindor went to either Slytherin or Hufflepuff. When it was Hermione's turn to be resorted, she stood and approached with caution.

Miss Granger, such a smart witch, so full of potential. How I wish I could sort you into Ravenclaw and observe you as you learn. Unfortunately for you, dear Rowena was quite fond of someone you have betrayed. No, my dear, I fear I know the place for you. GRYFFINDOR!

Hermione tried to grasp what the hat had said. Was she sorted back into Gryffindor because of her disdain for Potter? But that would mean that Rowena Ravenclaw had met the wretch, which meant...

"Harry Potter is Henry du Noir."
