AN: well here is another chapter, Inever really thought I would get such a great response for this story. I know that in the last chapter I said Sirius would have a twin, but I can't fit that in sorry, also this will be a slight X-men crossover. This story will be entirely pre-hogwarts, That is where my inspiration is taking this. And in this story Harry was born in 1984, and James and Lily we're killed in 1985
DC: I hate these, well if I have to I have to. I don't Own Harry Potter, J K Rowling does, I don't own Charmed, Spelling Entertainment does, I Don't own X-men (well the DVDs I do) Stan Lee does. and finally I don't own Mythological Characters or References
Part Two, January, 1986
Helga Potter was Pacing around in the front parlor of her Ancient Manor, the one passed down from mother to daughter, Since the time Hera became Helga Hufflepuff and built this Manor as a retreat from Zeus, Who became Godric Gryffindor. Anyways Helga was waiting for one of her spies to show up with information on Albus Dumbledore, who is the reincarnation of Saturn, Cornelius Fudge, The newest in a long line of Bungling Ministers.
Helga stopped pacing when she heard the familiar notes of Phoenix song fill the room, which preceded a beautiful Scarlet and Gold phoenix who flamed into the room with a small trunk attached to one of its talons, which Helga quickly removed. Relieved of his burden Fawkes transformed into a tall Burly looking man, with messy Raven coloured hair, with a few Silver strands interspersed here and there. The man had a bronzed tint to his sking, and Chocolate coloured eyes, which after 37 years of marriage still made her heart melt inside.
The man in question pulled Helga into his arms and placed a warm kiss onto her lips. After a few moments he pulled back, and Helga led him to one of the couches, before ringing a silver bell for a house elf.
A tiny House elf wearing a clean uniform Of Gold and Onyyx popped into the room and bowed with dignity "What can Mipsy do for you Mistress" Mipsy asked respectfully
"I would like some tea, and Mr. Potter would like a Firewhiskey please" Helga answered her head house elf.
"Right away Mistress" Mipsy said then popped away.
Helga then turned to her husband "How are things at Hogwarts dear?" Helga asked
"That old man has hired inept teacher, after inept teacher, especially that greasy haired bastard" Godric practically spat.
Mipsy popped back in rolling a tea trolley that had a tea kettle full of steaming hot tea, a dish of finger sandwhiches, A bottle of Old Ogdens finest, and a tumbler. "Does mistress need anything else from Mipsy" Mipsy asked.
"No that will be all thank you Mipsy" Helga responded.
Mipsy then popped away, "So he still has Severus Snape working there?" Helga asked as she fixed him his drink.
"Yes dear, as Potions professor and Head of Slytherin" Godric sighed then sipped his fire whiskey.
Helga pondered that as she fixed herself a cup of tea, and picked up a sandwhich and nibbled on it delicately. They lapsed into a comfortable silence as they ate they're sandwhiches, and drank their drinks. After they we're done Helga rang the silver bell. Mipsy popped back into the room, and rolled the tea trolley away.
A sleek looking black Hawk, flew into the Parlor and landed on the arm of the couch Helga and Godric were sitting on. Helga quickly took the thick envelope from the owl, who quickly left after its burden was removed. Helga opened the ministry seal and took out a small piece of parchment and a larger parchment.
Godric looked at the pieces of parchment with interest, "Who is it from dear?" Godric asked.
"The Ministry, Remember when I told you about my plans to open an orphanage and Academy in one?" Helga replied as she picked up the larger parchment and began reading.
"Of course that was a month ago, I take it that it was approved." Godric answered.
Helga smiled as she finished reading the parchment. "Yes dear it was, on a trial basis though for the first twenty years they will be sending officials from the Magical and Muggle Child Welfare department to make sure it is a safe and stable environment for children to live and learn in" Helga replied.
"Have you figured out where you are going to build it?" Godric asked with interest.
"I'm thinking of remodeling The Ancient and Most Noble House of Hufflepuff, since it is situated on a Nexus, and can hold all of the wards I intend on placing on it" Helga said with a mischievous sparkle in her Crystal blue eyes.
Godric chuckled as he reached over and ruffled his wife's hair making it fall out of its messy bun, causing it to surround her face in chestnut brown waves. She shrieked in mock outrage and pounced on him, and proceded to tickle him into submission. "Uncle" Godric gasped out.
Helga smirked at him as she let him up, only to let out a squeak as Godric pounced on her and proceeded to kiss her senseless. "Don't let us interrupt you, although I could do without the Imagery" A deep male voice said in amusement.
"James!" A pleasant sounding female voice scolded her husband, though she sounded faintly amused.
Helga and Godric let out a groan at being interrupted, but pulled apart and fixed they're clothing, before motioning for James and Lily to sit down on the opposite Couch. "Oh yes Godric what was in the trunk you brought with you when you arrived?" Helga asked her husband.
"My things I left the old fool a note saying I quit being his familiar and left him a nice little 'present' in his favorite boots" Godric replied with a smirk.
"Now I know where James gets his trouble making nature from. Hopefully Harry won't get into so much trouble when he goes to school" Lily replied the last sentence was said with a sad look in her eyes.
They lapsed into a somber silence for a while, before the conversation turned to more pleasant topics.
June 30, 1991
Helga sat in her office of the Orphanage and Acadamy that she and her husband ran. She was holding her newborn three month old daughter. Her thoughts returned to her Grandson, and the worry she felt over whether he was being taken care of properly. A knock on her door, caused her daughter to give a little cry "shh its just someone at the door" she crooned to her daughter as she got up and opened the door.
Godric stood outside the door with a young couple standing nervously behind him, and a young, sad looking, girl with large front teeth, and bushy brown hair standing just behind them. "Please come on in" Helga said with a gentle smile to try and dispel the nerves of the couple. She then stepped back to let everyone in, after everyone was inside she motioned for everyone to have a seat.
"My name is Helga Potter, I am the Owner and head Caretaker here at the Helga Potter Orphanage and Acadamy for young Witches and Wizards" Helga said with the same gentle smile on her face.
Having been put at ease the couple smiled at her "I am Dan this is my wife Emma, we love our daughter, but its hard having her around, and running a Dental practice" Dan said sad at having to give up his precious little daughter.
"I am Godric Potter, Helga's husband and Second in Command, we have two options available" Godric said in his pleasant, deep voice.
"What are the options?" The little girl quietly asked.
"You can put her up for adoption here and never have to see her again, thats the first option, the second one is to just sign her up for the Acadamy which will have her here the whole year except for the Holidays, like a Boarding school if you will" Helga answered.
Dan and Emma looked at each other for a moment then turned towards Helga "How much does the second option cost" Emma asked nervously
"For the Rich it runs around $100,000 (1) (150,000 Galleons) a year, we also offer Tuition assistance for those who qualify" Helga explained.Godric saw the crestfallen looks on the couples faces.
"The reason it is so expensive is to cover the costs of food, Lodging, Medical expenses, Uniform costs, and in case they accidentally damage any of the furniture" Godric explained.
Dan then took out his Checkbook and wrote a check for $100,000, then handed it to Helga then he and Emma left after hugging Hermione goodbye.
