Previously:

"Very well, I understand," Genji's voice was soft as he glanced at the two children as they ran to wash up for supper, "I will be in England for a few days on some business next month I will bring him by and the papers that I need as well, thank you for your help May-San."

Dated May 31st 1986

Harry was now on day four in his stay at Mai's home. The Taniyama household was a very welcoming one, even when yesterday Harry's freakishness had shown its ugly head.

Flashback:

Harry was sitting with Mai watching an episode of Scooby-Doo, both of them trying to guess who it was that had done it.

"It's the security guard!" Harry stated, watching the reaction of the girl next to him who was frowning and shaking her head slightly.

"No it's the grounds keeper! I mean look at him he's so creepy," her statement was full of as much passion as the girl had in any other aspect of life.

"Creepy means nothing! It's the guard, I guarantee it!" Harry declared with just as much passion as the slightly older girl.

"No it's the grounds keeper!"

"No, it's not!"

"Yes, it is!"

"No!"

"Yes!"

"No!"

By now the two children were face to face and standing, leaning in towards each other.

"Yes!"

"No!"

With that last no from Harry the lights flickered and the furniture shook a bit, as if wanting to lift up from the floor. Immediately both children forgot their argument, Harry had a horrified look on his face and Mai looked confused, and somewhat scared, having let out a small, strangled scream when the furniture had shook.

Genji had heard his daughter scream and ran into the room to find that his daughter was holding a shaking Harry who was sobbing "I'm sorry" over and over again and refused to say anything else for a good ten minutes before calming down and telling him the story. Genji had smiled at the end and explained about PK and that he might have it, he would have to wait a while though to truly find out as the expert that Genji knew lived in England and that they would go see him when Genji went there on business.

End Flashback

Harry smiled at the memory of the day, he had found out that he was not a freak and that there were in fact other kids out there that could use this PK stuff, though Harry wasn't sure if PK could actually do some of the things he had done, like when his hair had grown back over night after the horridly awful haircut that Aunt Petunia had given him that one time, but he want going to mention that anytime soon, no need to change their minds and make them think that he was a freak after all.

Currently Harry and Mai were sitting in the spare room that Harry had been given, both children were looking at the clothes that seemed to have exploded out of the small wardrobe, along with some stuffed animals and a couple of books, most of which had been Harry's parents, the same ones that he had found in the box in the attic.

"Ok, you will defiantly need to take the wolf with you," Mai said, holding up a stuffed grey timber wolf. "He's going to be your protector while your back in England with daddy, that way I know my little brother is safe."

Harry smiled as Mai called him her little brother, she had started to do that when he had mentioned that he had no siblings, just like her and so she had decided that they would be each other's siblings, something that Harry had taken to quite quickly. He took the wolf and placed it into a small rucksack that already had a number of clothes and books inside of it.

"So we have clothes, some books that will help me learn to write the Japanese characters and get this language down more and the wolf that I think should be called moony, ummm anything else?" Harry said looking around the explosion of mess on the floor. Mai just shook her head and bounced up dragging Harry with her and out of the room.

"Harry, are you all packed to go?" Genji smiled at the young boy who nodded his head and held up the bag that he and Mai had packed, the wolf plushy was held in his other hand. "Very good, now you two don't forget to put everything back into its place before supper. We are leaving for the airport at 7 so we can get our flight at 9."

Both children nodded, dropping the bag and the plushy and running back into the room so that they could stuff everything unceremoniously into their proper places before racing each other to the bathroom sink to wash their hands before supper.

Same Day 6:45 pm

"Harry, come on, have you got your bag? What about your wolf?" Fumi worried over the boy, pulling the light rain jacket that she had found for him closer to his body. Harry nodded and then looked at Mai who was standing off to the side a little behind her mother, he knew that her father was already behind him at the door.

"Mai!" Harry launched himself at the girl and wrapped her in a hug, "Don't miss me too much k?"

His simple statement caused the three named Taniyamas to smile, Mai wearing the biggest smile of all. "I won't as long as you promise to come back as my new brother."

Harry scrunched up his face a little in thought before taking her hand and shaking it saying as he did so, "Deal."

With that as a parting Harry ran to the door and climbed into the car that Genji would use to drive them to the airport.

Dated June 1st 1986

The flight to England was absolutely uneventful except for a bit of turbulence about halfway through, but that passed quickly and their flight arrived exactly on time as expected. Both of them had hailed a cab to their hotel and collapsed into bed, sleeping until their wakeup call at 8am the next morning. Both males dressed in silence and went down to breakfast.

"Ok, now Harry today we are going to go to the office for the child services, we talked about this a bit while we were in Japan and you know that Fumi and I wish to adopt you, meaning that Mai would be your big-sister and you would be able to take the last name 'Taniyama' is this ok with you?" Genji asked looking at the little boy who sat across from him at the breakfast table.

"Yes sir," Harry said back, concentrating on pouring syrup onto his pancakes without spilling out too much, "I would like to keep my parents name though, I think it would honor them greatly. "Harry looked up at the man before him who had a small smile on his face and nodded his head, understanding was written in his face.

"There is no need to call me 'sir' Harry, you can call me Genji or Dad if you want to."

Harry studied the man before him, noting that there was no sarcasm in his words, there was no hidden meaning to the words that he should be wary of, just an openness that, despite staying with the Taniyama family and getting to know them in their open and friendly nature, he still did not expect from adults or even other children.

"Ok then, dad, umm do you think the child services people will know where my parents are buried at…I wish to pay my respects to them if that isn't too much trouble that is…" the end of the sentence trailed off and the little boy that had spoken the words looked down at the table, only to find himself wrapped in a hug by the older man.

"Harry, you don't have to fear that I would keep that information from you, if they know where your parents are laid to rest I promise you that we will go visit them and that we will bring them a little gift as well," Genji murmured the words to the boy and hugged him just a few seconds longer before turning and facing him. "Alright, now we are done eating, why don't we head out and talk to the case manager?"

His question received a nod from the boy and the pair stood up and left the dining room, heading out into the city to go to the office for child services.

Same Day about an hour later

Harry was sat next to Genji on a rather uncomfortable chair in-front of the wide oak desk of the case manager for his custody. The woman on the other side of the desk from them was a bubbly creature who spoke both Japanese and English fluently, right now the interview was being conducted in Japanese, so that things didn't get too lost in translation as Genji's English was not the best that it could be.

"Ok, so Mr. Taniyama we have covered already that you want to adopt Harry, now we have come across a few trunks that have the names 'Lilly Evans-Potter' and 'James Potter' on them, as well as a note saying that they are for Harry. We found them when we were investigating the Dursley household, we would like to give them to Mr. Potter here, and be assured that we haven't taken anything out of them and have left them exactly as we found them," She smiled at the look that Harry gave Genji and the slight nod that the man gave in response.

"I think having the trunks sent to back to Japan when we leave would be a nice thing for Harry. Now we do have one more question for you before we finalize the rest of the paperwork," Genji waited for a nod of the head before he continued. "Would you happen to know the location of Harry's parent's graves? Both he and I would like to pay our respects to them."

"Ah, they are buried in the churchyard of a town called Godric's Hollow, I will give you the address when we finish up the meeting here." For the next hour Harry was left sitting bored out of his head as the adults went through the paperwork, filling out all the required fields and boxes. "Ok Mr. Taniyama, I just need you to sign right here and then we will be done for today. I will have the trunks shipped to Japan in a week's time, thank you for coming all this way and we will be in touch next month for a standard checkup. You both have a great day now and here is the address that you wanted."

Genji took the slip of paper with the address for the church in the little town of Godric's Hollow. "Thank you ma'am please have a pleasant day," he said to the woman with a slight bow before he and Harry left the building.

Three hours later, Godric's Hollow

Harry and Genji walked into the little town of Godric's Hollow, heading immediately into the graveyard behind the church. Genji held onto Harry's hand as the passed by some of the older graves that were closer to the church. Harry paused before one, his head tilted to one side as he picked out the name on the weathered stone.

IGNOTUS PEVERELL

The name was so weathered and beaten that it was very hard to make out, but Harry still could read the worn letters. He squinted down at the stone noting the strange symbol underneath of it, a triangle with a vertical line through it and a circle in the middle of it. For some reason Harry felt that this symbol was important, but he didn't know why…he felt as if it had something to do with his parents, but how or why he had this feeling was yet to be determined.

"Harry, are you alright?" Genji asked, a touch of concern in his voice as he saw his adoptive son staring intently at an older grave.

"There is something about this grave, I feel like it's important somehow, important to my family, my birth family, but I'm not sure how or what…is it possible to do research on that marking right there?" Harry looked up at Genji quickly, before looking back at the grave and pointing at the symbol that was carved there.

Genji opened his mouth to respond but another voice cut over his. "I see that you have an interest in one of our oldest graves," both Harry and Genji turned to meet the sight of an old man leaning on a walking stick, his eyes sliding past the two living people to the grave behind them. "Ignotus Peverell is rumored to have been a wizard back when he was alive, and a powerful one at that too."

"Sir?" Harry looked at the wizened old man before him and his father, his eyes had gone glassy with thought, though when harry spoke up he snapped back to a more normal state of mind. "Umm, do you know anything about that marking that's here on his grave?"

"Oh, that, it seems a lot of folks come to look at that mark, they never think to ask what I know about it, no they all just babble about something called the 'Deathly Hallows' bah, bunch of nutters they are," the old man muttered before smiling at the boy before him. "Some people here say that Ignotus was a practice of magic, but they never did anything about that, but that's actually understandable, see this village here is said to have been founded by a wizard. Ignotus was undeniably brilliant, I heard from my grandmother that he and his two brothers created a trio of incredibly powerful items. She told me that the items when joined together by their true master, the one that is descended of all three brothers, then they will give that person incredible power over life and death, but with that power comes great responsibility, and also the man or woman who holds that power should be wary of it, for death is not something that should be played with for he will eventually wish to claim you to. Be warned boy, take too much interest in that symbol and you too might be consumed with the want for power, pay no heed to what others wish to tell you and you live your life like you want to." The man had pointed at the grave and the two other living people followed the line of his finger to look at the symbol once more. When they turned back to ask the mysterious old man a question he was gone, with no sign of him anywhere among the low graves.

"That was very strange…" Genji murmured, pulling Harry away from the grave, the two of them moved away from the older graves and finally happened across the graves that the ware looking for. It was a beautifully kept white marble headstone, the words on the stone were easy to read and it was obvious that at least one person had visited it recently as there was a small wreath of flowers before it. Harry knelt down by the grave, laying the flowers that he and Genji had brought with them on the grave between his mother and father's names, reading the inscription that was there as he did so.

JAMES POTTER LILY POTTER
BORN 27 MARCH 1960 BORN 30 JANUARY 1960
DIED 31 OCTOBER 1981 DIED 31 OCTOBER 1981

THE LAST ENEMY THAT SHALL BE DESTROYED IS DEATH.

"That's a rather cryptic but oddly fitting," Genji murmured, just watching his son as he spoke softly to his parents, telling them about his life so far and that he had found a new family in Japan but he would try his best to visit them whenever he could. After about an hour had passed Harry stood up and grabbed Genji's hand.

"Let's go home dad," he said looking up at the man who nodded a small smile on his face as he left the gravesite with his son in tow.

Unknown to the two the old man that they had spoken to earlier had watched the two from his place in the other plane, a small smile on his lips as he watched the young boy speak to his parents, telling them about his life so far. "You have had a hard life lad, but with your new home and family you will truly have the strength for the fight that lays in your future and I shall be there to help you along the way. The manipulations of that old man stop here and now, all you have to do if find your strength to grow."

The words he spoke held an air of finality and power about them as he watched the father-son duo leave the grave yard. "Brother do you mean that this lad here is the one?" a voice murmured out of the mists that seemed ever present in this plane. "This boy is to be the one that inherits our legacy? Are you certain brother, our items are scattered and the stone will be hardest to handle, what with that bastard tying his soul to the mortal realm using it."

"We will deal with that when the time is right, for now we will let Harry Potter grow up, his fate can change the entire outcome of the war."
