"Yes. Now where is Nicholas at, dear?" Nathaniel asked his wife. "Up in his room with Jeff, those two are so cute together." She said, earning a chuckle from her husband. "I agree, Harry will betrothed to Gabriel Taylers, Michael Corner, & Elias." He said causing her to raise her eyebrow at her husband.

"I swear you two are always up to something." Natasha scolded the two who just brushed her off. "Well, I am an immortal son of Hermes." Jeff pointed out. "I am a son of Apollo." Nick chimed in as he smiled a dopey grin at his best friend and crush.
"Oh, right, it's in your genes." Nathaniel grumbled to himself as his friends laughed at his misfortune. "Well I have to go, we have a concert in Brazil, Bye." Jeff said as he kissed Nick on the lips, stunning him, he moaned as he wrapped his arms around the blondes neck to deepen the kiss.

"No it wasn't as long as you need the wand as a crutch, you're magic will never be in anyways perfect, so again." Nick said calmly, as he watched the younger Duval do the spell over and over again.
A eleven year old Harry stared at his Hogwarts letter in disdain. "But, Mother I don't want to go to Hogwarts. I like where I am going now." He said annoyed with his mother at signing him up for Hogwarts and paying his tuition. "We decided as long as Netsume & Heroshi can go you should get used to the feeling of a boarding school and being away from us besides I have a business deal in Tokyo and will be there for six months and your father is in DC for five months & your brothers are in America So you have to go, honey, don't worry you'll do fine."

"HELLO DALTON HARRY DUVAL IS HERE!" A fifteen year old Hadrian Ryuu Duval called out as he stared up at the huge staircase of the dorm house that would be where he lived for the next four years. "Umm, where is everybody?" The Duval boy asked confused.
Author's Note: This chapter was all about Harry and his growth in the Duval Family. Although We finally figure out what Jeff & sibs are. Harry was magically adopted by the Duval, Sterling, Conners, & Mitchells families, so he has physical traits of all of them. He has brown hair like Nick, but it's messy like James', Heroshi's, & Mark's is. His eyes are still green. He has the Mitchel indifference (But most of the time, he has the immature streak of the Sterling family.).
