Ch. 4 A family reunited

Lily Potter was just sitting down with her son and newborn daughter Rose Evalynn Potter to dinner with the remainder of her extended family consisting of the Blacks, The Lupins, and the Tonks. Lily who had yet to begin touching her own plate, she'd look upon her newborn daughter and realized the mistake she made in betraying her other son Harry. Her daughter Rose was a reminder of what she did to him. She now understood that no matter the status, that all children were precious, even her own.

Being reminded of her failure everyday had taken a toll on her soul and her body as she never stopped thinking about her Harry. Problem was, it was too late to undo the damage as before Harry had ran away, the contract had become binding in which Harry would be forced to marry the Delacour daughter on his seventeenth birthday. Lily had lost much of her appetite since then. She was skinny and pale, a shell of her former self. Only with Harry's return would she possibly get her old self back. It was through the forced feeding from her husband James, Andromeda Tonks nee Black and Amelia Black nee Bones that she even able to eat let alone still remain coherent.

As Amelia and Andromeda both glared at her, she picked up her fork and began to tenderly and slowly eat. On her fourth forkful of eating some vegetable side item, a flare of fire was seen several feet to the left of the dinner table as three men dropped in.

"Bloody Hell, that's even more useful than apparating." A familiar voice called out as two of the men turned around only to be recognized as James Potter and Sirius Black. The third in between had yet to turn around as his almost dark forest colored hood attached to a sleeveless tunic was still up. Those present was able to tell due to his bare arms that he was strong and lithe, meaning he was both a strong, fast and possibly very deadly fighter. He carried a modern compound bow seen in muggle hunters on the television, as well as a double quiver, specifically designed for carrying extra arrows. Strapped to his waist on the left side was what looked like a really big and nasty knife. His clothes were dark and looked like they were designed for working from within the darkness. Strapped to his arms were several daggers as well as tattoos with various lettering and symbols.

Lily stood up as did everyone else as the unknown young man slowly turned and lowered his hood. He looked down at first so his hair covered his identity as it was rather long like that of a lions mane, but then looked up as his eyes took in his surroundings and the people currently looking at him.

Lily could no longer see the green eyes this young man shared with her as she knew who he was upon seeing him. He looked like James yet was now different. His eyes were silver with green iris's. He was covered in the scent of nature as he was dirty due to wherever he stayed. "Ha...Harry?" Lily stammered out.

His eyes that looked around the room came to rest upon the one who called his name. "Mrs. Potter." he acknowledged as he nodded at her.

She flinched at his cold tone as she then slowly walked up and raised her left hand toward his cheek, at least until he caught her hand in a soft yet firm grip and looked her in the eye and shook his head 'No'! "Not yet, you have to earn that right. Just tell a house elf to come and wake me in the morning as I go to sleep off this time difference. I'll be in my old room." And with that, he dropped her hand and flame teleported to the room that was originally his as he did not miss the little girl that looked like Lily and James. Though the child itself did not set him off, it was the fact that they thought it right to have another and be reminded of what they did to him. The fact that James and Sirius did not mention her just made things worse.

"He hates me." Lily cried as James caught her before she fell to the floor in a heap.

As he redirected her to a chair, everyone began to bombard them with questions that they answered well into the night after putting all the kids to bed. A broken Lily Potter was astounded yet ashamed of what she found out about her long lost son. The fact that the Gods saw fit to take him in and had allowed Artemis the Moon Goddess to adopt him since the blood of Zeus and Hades flowed through his, James, Charles, and now Rose's blood. How he received the blessing of over half the Olympians and became their seeker in finding Demi-Gods and keeping them safe from monsters while taking them to Camps for their kind.

"What do I do, James? How can I make it right? Even Artemis has taken over my title as mother to him."

"She did leave him with a stipulation, to try and make peace with us. But he's gonna be busy for awhile. Aside from his duties as Finder and Retriever of Demi-Gods, he's also gonna be finding Voldemorts anchors." James said with a glass of Fire Whiskey in front of him.

"What did you say?" Amelia asked shakily. James and even Sirius who put in his own knowledge of what Artemis revealed was able to finally reveal how to beat Voldemort. Sirius had revealed to Amelia everything about the Black family as she was now a Black by marriage and even she was well informed of soul anchors or better known as Horcrux's. It was revealed as well what Dumbledore intended to do for this coming school year and how it was up to the DMLE to stop him before it was too late. From what James surmised, since Voldemort was apparently alive, though weak, he may have possessed a teacher, so he'd go after the Philosopher Stone.

Of course it was then that Sirius began to chuckle as Lily glared at him. "What's so funny, Sirius?"

"It's...a...fake!" Sirius spoke barely able to contain himself. When Lily gave him, and then James a questioning look, James himself chuckled as he revealed that Nickolas and Perenelle Flamel were already immortal and former Demi-Gods and now minor Gods.

Nickolas and Perenelle apparently pranked the great Albus Dumbledore by making him think that what he had was the real deal, as they say. The original stone was given to Lord Hades who then passed it to Hecate as they were on the best of terms.

James then revealed that he and Sirius had sworn oaths to aid the Gods against Kronos. Amelia, Lily, Ted, and Andromeda paled even further. "Wh...What did...you say?" Ted asked in a bare whisper.

"Kronos is rising. But Zeus won't accept it." James whispered. "Whatever you do, don't speak ill of Zeus, he may be listening, even now." Seeing it coming before they could even say it. "No matter what Zeus says, we have to be vigilant. Tomorrow, we confront Albus, and if time permits it, we'll be done with Voldemort before the end of next year."

"How is it you know of Kronos possibly rising?" Amelia asked.

"A prophecy. When Harry slept last night, Artemis called and spoke with Sirius and I secretly about a child who also has a destiny, apparently during World War Two, the Big Three, Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades made a pact and swore on the Styx not to spawn anymore Demi-Gods. Zeus fell off the wagon and his daughter called Thalia was nearly killed. Grandfather Zeus, in order to save her turned her into a tree and used her life force to create a barrier that erected around Camp Half-Blood in New York. It's to this day, still up and keeping monsters away from the other children of the Gods. But Artemis suspects Poseidon may have broken the Oath as well. She doesn't know about Grandfather Hades yet."

"So, what do we do?" Ted Tonks asked.

"We do as we swore we do, we aid the Gods. First is to take care of both Dumbledore and Riddle, then we get as many families and magical peoples, clans, beasts, everything we can, and we prepare for war." James said sternlt with Sirus nodding.

"Riddle?" Amelia asked.

"His name, Voldemorts true name, Tom Marvolo Riddle," James said as he revealed the anagram Riddle created and a second later, he heard a gasp. Turning, he looked upon the shocked expression of his fathers portrait.

"Thomas? Are you certain, James?" his father asked as he spoke for the first time in many years.

James nodded as his father hung his head in shame as he revealed what he knew of Tom Riddle, that he was a half-blood who was in Slytherin, the first to be so in a century with Severus Snape being the second. When Charles asked about Harry, his mother who had been listening turned around as well in her husband and hers shared portrait. James revealed everything including their lineage and family legacy being descended from Zeus and Hades. Something not even Charles and Dorea Potter-Black knew about. They promised to speak later as they knew that the gathered crowd needed rest before confronting Dumbledore in the morning.

Even Charles and Dorea needed to acclimate to the knowledge of their grandsons new purpose as an adopted son of Artemis, and now a finder and retriever of Demi-Gods.

The next day, a refreshed group of adult were fully awake and had called on Remus to watch the children while they visited a manipulative old man who may lose any and/or all positions of authority he held if he didn't do as the parents suggested. Amelia Black-Bones had already used her own floo to speak to The Minister of Magic Cornelius Fudge about the danger Dumbledore placed the students in and was asking for a warrant for his arrest. When Fudge realized the implications of what was going on, he agreed and was able to have a warrant for Dumbledores arrest created. When Amelia floo'ed back to Potter Manor, she found Harry in his Hunter outfit with his Compound Bow strapped to his back . He apparently was up before anyone else as the other adults just walked up into the room.

"Harry? What are you doing?" James asked.

"I'm joining you." was all he said.

"Harry, I...",was all Lily Potter got out before Harry narrowed his eyes at her and gave her a look that said, "I'm going and that's final."

Sirius who had just arrived and saw the look Harry was giving his birth mother came forward and spoke, "I think it would be prudent to allow Harry to join us, after all, there is a chance Voldemort may have left one of his anchors in Hogwarts."

Remus and Lily hissed at the name where Harry narrowed his eyes at the two and said, "Pussy's!"

"Harry, language." his father said sternly.

"Fear of the false name of Tom Riddle only gives it more power. He isn't no Lord, and he sure isn't after this month, Immortal. I promise you that. I'll send him to Grandfather Hades and have already been insured he will be thoroughly punished."

"Agreed, but that still doesn't give you the right to use your foul language to your mother and Remus. They didn't deserve that."

Turning his back to the adults, he muttered, "Whatever." and flamed away. They knew he was heading to Hogwarts, most likely the old mans office. Remus wished them all well as the House heads and wives of Potter, Black, and Tonks floo'ed to Dumbledores office. The scene they came upon was Albus Dumbledores hand stabbed into his desk with one of Harry's daggers. Harry twirling a wand in his hand as Dumbledore tried but could not remove the knife from his hand separating him from his desk.

"Harry, what have you done?" James asked in a horrified voice as he gazed at a pained Albus Dumbledore who could not move the knife from both his hand and the desk.

"He raised his wand to me, I reacted accordingly to how I react to a threat. Also, do you know anything about this wand in my hand?" he asked nonchalantly as he stopped twirling it in his hands and held it out with two fingers from the middle of the wands base.

James and the others looked hard at it but could only say that it was Dumbledores wand. Harry chuckled darkly as he used his empty free hand to rip the knife from Dumbledores hand allowing him to step back as cried out and held his hand gingerly as Lily rushed over and began to administer first aid to the Headmasters ruined hand.

Using a hankercheif to clean his blade, he then incinerated the bloodied fabric as he conjured a seat for himself and said, "Let me tell you a story I am sure most if not all of you know. Three brothers thought they could cheat Death. The eldest was rewarded with a wand incapable of being beaten. The middle brother was given a stone to speak to the dead. The youngest was given Deaths cloak so that even Death could not see him. You see where I'm going with this?" he asked as he twirled the wand in his fingers again.

"The elder wand!" James whispered in shock as his eyes gazed upon the wand in his sons hand. All of the others gasped as their minds took in the clues of Harry's explanation.

"Didn't think it was real, did you?" Harry asked in a serious tone. "Seeing you own the cloak that Death gave over to the younger Peverell male, making the Potters direct descendents of the Three Brothers of legend."

"And the Stone?" James asked, almost in trepidation and fear at the same time.

"It exists, and I have an idea where it is, as Death himself told me a special tale of certain individuals whose souls are in a state of unrest."

"Impossible." Dumbledore spoke up now that he was no longer bleeding as Lily had repaired the damage her son had done.

"Not quite Albus, of which only we" pointing to herself and the others minus Albus Dumbledore, "Will speak of after I give you this." Amelia said as she handed Dumbledore the warrant for his arrest. He didn't see her secretly pull her wand from her sheath on her wrist as he had by then taken the warrant and read its contents.

His face paled as he read what was in his hands and he looked up in consternation. "Why Amelia? What have I done?"

"The Philosophers Stone. We know you have it. You will hand it over and you will come with us. You are under arrest for placing a dangerous object in a school soon to be full of innocent children. Comply and I will ensure you get a fair trial. Do it not, and I assure you, you will not like the consequences." she answered in a calm yet serious voice.

Dumbledore turned to the boy who now leveled a arrow pointed directly at his forehead as no one saw him draw his bow or notch the arrow. "I'd do it if I were you, old man." Harry stated in a voice that left no room for anything else.

James by then was able to summon any and all extra wands and Port-keys which was a few devices and an extra wand from Dumbledores person.

The Headmaster seeing he was defenseless and had no way of escaping, closed his eyes and tried to call out to Fawkes, but his Phoenix friend would not come to aid or answer his mental call. Harry noticed this and informed him that the Phoenix didn't answer to him, instead it answered to those who didn't do things like he, Albus Dumbledore had done. That it aided those whose heart and soul was pure, which apparently was not Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore. He then had Dumbledore reveal and hand over the acclaimed Philosophers stone. Once Harry verified it was what they were looking for, Harry told them and saw it destroyed before all of them with the remains vanished by one Harry James Potter.

Amelia slipped a pair of Magic Suppressing cuffs on the old man who she then escorted through the floo with Sirius following. Moments afterward, James used the floo to summon Minerva McGonaghall and explained the situation as she was next in line to take over Hogwarts. As he said this, indeed the schools powers and wards did indeed transfer to her as she closed her eyes and found herself now in full control of Hogwarts.

Moments later she gasped as alot of the safety features within Hogwarts were shut down as apparently Dumbledore and past Headmasters we're allowing things to deteriorate to suit their needs and wants. She found out all that she could as Hogwarts itself directed her to a wall where a secret passage awaited her as she disappeared.

James and Lily made to follow, but Harry wouldn't hear of it as he looked at them and shook his head, 'No!'

A second later, Harry's compass began to go off as he picked it up and opened it. A 3-D map of Hogwarts presented itself as a red dot made itself known. Harry zoomed in where the Dot was located as the seventh floor in a left corridor of the castle. James came over and looked.

"I know that area, there's nothing there.", He exclaimed.

"That you know of." Harry replied. "Maybe an elf will know."

James didn't wanna argue as a few moments later, an elf made itself known as Minerva McGonaghall returned, though now pale. The new Headmistress called forth an elf and had it bring Tea and Refreshments. She then began to explain things to James and Lily as Harry's attention was on the elf.

As James and Lily spoke to her, Harry called the young elf over after it left a cup of Tea and scones for the new Headmistress on the desk.

Kneeling before the young elf, he asked, "What is your name, great elf?" Harry asked as the elves eyes took him in and widened.

"You be touched by Hunting Goddess. You be her son." she squeaked in her young voice. "I's be Tippy."

"Good to meet you Tippy, and yes, she blood adopted me. Artemis is my mother as I am her son. What do you know of the seventh floor in a left corridor?"

"That bes' the area where come-and-go room is." Tippy answered.

"Can you tell me how to access the room Tippy?"

"Just walk in front of area three times asking for what you want and it appears, it responds to whatever you ask. It's behind the tapestry of Barnabas the Barmy."

Harry scratched its right ear in affection and gave her some treats he conjured from nothing and told her to enjoy them as he looked to his parents and told them what he intended to do. James nodded as Lily made to follow. James said no, but Lily was adamant as she followed her son. She would fight to get him back, but there were things he still needed to know.

When they got to the seventh floor left corridor, Harry had Lily stand aside as he walked the hall three times after moving Barnabas tapestry, all the while thinking of a place to hide things. An ancients looking door appeared as Harry opened it and held it open for his mother.

Lily looked around as if she found a treasure trove as books, brooms, cauldrons, and many other things from times past. Harry though could not be bothered with all of that as his compass was pinpointing to where it was wanting him to go. He came upon a row of books, which he knocked down and there in front of him was a Tiara. The compass vibrating dangerously, Lily came over to see what was going off as the compass was vibrating madly.

Unstrapping his blade from it's sheath, Harry lifted the stygian blade in an underhanded strike, but it was the voice of a female specter that stopped him as it screamed 'STOP'.

Harry and Lily turned as the spirit of a beautiful woman floated in front of them. "Identify yourself spirit."Harry called out as Lily turned to rebuke her son from speaking to who she knew to be the Grey Lady of Ravenclaw House.

"My name is Helena Ravenclaw, daughter of Rowena Ravenclaw. Why do you insist on destroying my mothers tiara, son of the Huntress?" Helena asked.

"I have a quest to fulfill, once this tiara has been purged of its dark taint, I will restore it to its pristine form and give it to my,...Lily Potter and she in turn will return it to Ravenclaw House, and whoever is its head."

Lily who had turned at Harry's blunder could only lower her head as Harry still refused to call her mother.

"Do you swear to restore it, son of House Potter?"

"Yes, my lady."

"Then so be it, Champion of the Gods and Magic."

Harry turned back and with a mighty strike, slammed the tip of the black blade into the jewel of the Diadem. Half a second later, the darkness inside it was barely able to scream as it was absorbed into the blade and was on a one way trip to Hades realm, where the Furies of Hades domain awaited it.

Harry then pulled the blade back and re-holstered it in its sheath. The Diadem was split in half as the jewel leaked what appeared to be black tar like substance. He vanished the jewel and its remains and then opened a pouch on his side and found a suitable jewel in his pouch as he restored the Diadem to its former glory and then placed and sealed the Jewel that he then had replaced from the original as it had been tainted. Once it was complete, Harry held out his hands and was able to conjure a special miniature box from nothing and gently placed the Diadem within and handed it to Lily Potter.

"I thank you Harry Potter-Artemison. I can now rest in peace."

"Helena, is it finally over?" Another voice asked as Harry and Lily looked back behind Helena Ravenclaw as a ghost of a man with a patch of what looked like blood on his chest and falling to his stomcah area and an older lady looking like Helena stood by the door.

"That's the Bloody Baron, of Slytherin House." Lily gasped out, "And the woman next to him is..."

"Lady Rowena Ravenclaw herself." Harry spoke up.

"Yes Waldo, its finally over, we can now rest in peace beloved."

At the name Waldo, Harry snorted as the ghostly image looked at him and sighed, "Yes, I know all about the character in the childrens book within the Muggle World, young Hunter. Finish that bastard Riddle, and restore the honor of Salazar Slytherin."

"I will, Lord Baron."

"Come Daughter, it's time to go." The spirit of Lady Rowena spoke as Helena nodded. She turned and placed a chaste kiss on the left side of Harry's cheek and turned back to the Bloody Baron and Lady Ravenclaw as what can be construed as a image of light appeared and the three occupants walked forward passed what looked like clouds or dry ice like vapors. The Image of three souls walked forward and welcomed them all with open arms. One was a woman with blond hair and middle aged, the other was of a middle aged warrior with long brown hair and had the ferociousness of a lion, the other male spirit was bald and also middle aged and smiled at the reunion of their dearest friends.

The two men then came forward and both grabbed Harry with one arm each, 'Slytherin' on his left, Harry suspected as he looked like a sly man if his looks said anything, and 'Gryffindor' on his right as The man had a powerful aura about him with the fierceness of a Lion. Both souls claimed him as their rightful heir and hoped he would make right the wrongs done and committed by Tom Riddle and his followers.

A set of rings appeared on his right hand with the crest of Gryffindor and Slytherin. Both men nodded as the final thing added was the sword of Gryffindor appeared in a shower of silver and red and landed in Harry's now outstretched hands with the sheath appearing on his back. Both then turned and walked back to the 'Heavens' as it then vanished as the last thing Harry and Lily saw was a waving Baron and Mother and Daughter Ravenclaw women.

As for Lily Potter, after seeing and feeling the power of Heaven, she felt hope for the first time in her life that her son would forgive her and make peace with her, and give her a second chance.
