Chapter 7

Franks sighed as he downed the last of his beer paid his tab and left for his house on the beach. He wondered what his Probie had gotten himself into now. As he packed he made sure his Sig was in its compartment he called the airport for a flight satisfied that he got the earliest one he hung up and called his Probie letting him know that his flight came in at eleven o clock the next day.

The Next Day

Heading through the airport Mike searched for the tell-tale silver hair cut into a not quite high and tight. Finding it he grinned a little as Gibbs saw him at the same time.

"Hey Mike thanks for comin'." Gibbs said as they shook hands and clapped each other on the shoulder.

"No problem Probie now what is it ya need?" Gibbs shook his head indicating that they wouldn talk here.

During the drive to Gibbs' house Mike noticed that his Probie was looking like he was almost in a good mood.

Gibbs was in a relatively good mood today he said relatively because though they hadn't had a break in the case yet even with Sara's info from the cat he had Tim and Abbey working on the dead mans computer and Tony was taking Sara shooting. That also annoyed him a bit he wanted to be the one to see if Sara could shoot, Lilly and Shannon had been totally hopeless when it came to guns but Kelly had had excellent aim when it came to shooting things. He had gotten her an air rifle when she was six and a toy bow and arrow set she had begged for, Shannon had laughed and said she had inherited it from him.

"Aw well I can always take her to learn how to shoot a sniper rifle if she does well with the Sig." He thought and that made him feel better. He knew he was freaking Mike out a bit, but right now he didn't care. When they arrived at the house Mike went up to his usual guest room only to hear Gibbs behind him.

"Not that one that one has some stuff in it I had to move you can use the other guest room it's clean and has fresh sheets on the bed." Mike was confused but shrugged and went to the other room Gibbs sighed he didn't want Mike to be subjected to Shadowwings talons and beak from what Sara had said Shadow protected his mistress and her things fiercely.

Mike took some of his things down to the laundry and frowned when he saw a t-shirt that certainly didn't belong to Gibbs. It was a small country band t-shirt Big n Rich it was artfully faded with the words Save a Horse Ride a cowboy on it. Taking the shirt he went up to the kitchen to find Gibbs at the counter drinking coffee.

"Somethin' ya want to tell me about Probie?" Mike asked holding up the shirt.

"It's a shirt Mike." Mike scowled.

"It's a girls t- shirt Probie don't tell me ya got another wife."

"No Mike don't got a wife." Gibbs smirked he was having fun with this.

"Damnit Probie then what the hell..?" Mike didn't get to finish his question when they heard the front door open and close and three voices sound in the living room.

"Oh come on Tony so she's a better shot than you look who she has for a dad."

"I'm not saying that Kate, I'm just wondering hwo a thirteen year old could be a better shot than a Fed."

"First off Tony she's fourteen, how well did you do Fox?" Mike and Gibbs had walked out of the kitchen to see Tony, Kate and Sara standing there in the living room.

Gibbs had been calling her Fox since she had first started her transformations.

"I did ok I'm now qualified to take a gun on me when we go out on cases." She said modestly, but the gleam in her eye gave her away.
"Ok she did better than ok boss she nearly scored as high as you and you have the best score out of all of us, it was like she was channeling you or something." Gibbs reached out and hugged her proudly.

"That's my girl, you know Kelly was a good shot too though Shannon and Lilly were hopeless." Sara looked excited at the news that she had something else to share with her sister besides a dad.

"Really?" She said eagerly.

"Oh yeah I told Shan that I would rather Kelly have a twenty two than Shannon with a nine mil." Sara snickered her eyes sparkling.

"And how much time on the couch did that earn you Probie?" Mike asked smirking.

"None Shan agreed with me though we didn't get Kel a twenty two we were going to wait until she was ten." Sadness flashed over his face for a moment until Sara went over to hug him.

"So is anyone gonna introduce me and the Little Lady or are all of you gonna stand there?" Sara smiled at him and he could see that she was almost like an older Kelly though he could see the differences between the two.

"I guess we'll have to do it ourselves. Hello my name is Sara Kelly Gibbs."

"I'm Mike Franks but you can call me Uncle Mike if you like Little Lady." Sara grinned as they shook hands.

"Alright we should get back to work and check on Abbey and McGee." Gibbs said and they all headed out.

"So tell me again why I'm here Probie." Mike said as he Gibbs and Sara climbed into the charger.

"Sirius Black I know you were lead on his case."

Mike frowned.

"Hell Probie I remember that one somethin' strange about that case."

"What do you mean Uncle Mike?"

"Sirius Black and a man named Peter Pettigrew were fighting in the street before he died Peter shouted "You betrayed Lilly and James." Then suddenly the whole street blew and thirteen people were killed three were Navy."

Mike hadn't noticed the death grip Gibbs had on the steering wheel or that Sara was fingering the knife hidden in the sheath on her thigh.

"But the weird thing was Black just sat there laughing others said he was insane but I heard him muttering about Pettigrew and how he was going to catch that traitorous rat."
Mike finally noticed the discomfort of his companions and asked.

"Probie what's the matter? Little Lady you ok?" Mike glanced at the two and saw that Saras green eyes were now ice blue.

"Lilly and James were my mum and step dad." Mike felt the color drain from his face but before he could say anything Gibbs said.

" I read the case file it is an odd name that I'd remember there was also something off about one of the pictures."

Sara reached for her phone and sent off a quick text to the other three.
"Find anything you can on Peter Pettigrew and Sirius Black then send it to me I'll explain later Sara."

" I wonder what could make him betray them."

Sara was silent she had an odd feeling about what had happened.

"Maybe he didn't maybe he was framed." Sara mused.

"What makes you say that?" Gibbs asked and Sara jumped she hadn't meant to say that aloud.

"I don't know just a feeling I have." Gibbs and Mike glanced at each other it seemed she had inherited the famous "Gibbs gut instinct."

When they got to the Yard Sara was given her own Sig and she put it into her desk like the others and was reassigned to the Black case as the others worked on the dead Navy Officer case.

Sara frowned at the picture she had been staring at for the last fifteen minutes.

"You know you're gonna burn a whole in that if you keep staring at it like that." Tony said leaning his hip against Saras desk.

"There's something wrong about this the part of the finger that was attached to the body seems to be too clean." Tony frowned and held out his hand for the picture, looking at it he saw that Sara was right.

"We'll have to show this to someone in your government." Tony commented and Sara scowled.

"Nah they're a bunch of idiots controlled by money and intimidation they wont listen." Sara said rolling her eyes. She knew she needed to get back to England and investigate this with the others.

Two weeks to the end of August.

Sara sat at the table pushing her fork through a mound of mashed potatoes. She was hungry but didn't want to eat as her thoughts were distracting and rather depressing.

"Hey Fox, what's the matter?" Gibbs asked as he and Mike looked concernedly at the girl.

Sara looked up startled and avoided Gibbs eyes as she said.

"I'm ok may I be excused I want to make sure I've packed everything." Gibbs nodded and Sara left Mike waited a few minutes then looked at his friend.

"Probie that little girl is worried about something and I think I should go talk to her."

"Mike she's my daughter if anyone talks to her it should be me."

"Probie she's not going to talk to you a third party may have a better chance of getting her to open up." Gibbs sighed and nodded as Mike made his way up to Sara's room.

Mike knocked on the door and opened it to see Sara sitting on her bed cuddling the fox plushie Abbey had bought her as a belated birthday present.

"Can I sit down Little Lady?" Mike asked and was rewarded with a nod.

"Now what's eatin you?" Mike wasn't big on the warm and fuzzies he was a straight to the point kind of guy.

"Uncle Mike I'm afraid." Sara whispered and mike sat back in her desk chair.

"About what?"

"I'm afraid dad will forget me and Harry." Mike now understood what was troubling the girl from all that he had been told about her and her brothers life he understood her insecurities.

"Little Lady your dad loves you after what you guys told me nothing short of death will make him let you and your brother go and I'm not even sure that will be enough. He lost you once then he lost Shannon and Kelly he's not going to let you and your brother go without a fight."

Sara nodded and smiled relieved that her thoughts about that had been correct.

Thanks Uncle Mike, can I ask you something?"

"Shoot."

"Why do you call me Little Lady?"

Mike grinned at her.

"Cause you are one and it helps remind your dad that you're not all rough and tumble Tomboy." Sara had to admit it was a good plan and she did like the name.

"Ok Uncle Mike thanks for talking." Mike nodded and left Sara to her thoughts.

Gibbs liked up at him as he entered the room.

"She's fine, better get ready to head out tomorrow Probie England is callin'"

England

The plane touched down in England at 0900 U.K. time Gibbs Sara and Mike breezed through customs and took a taxi to the Leaky Cauldron. Mike and Gibbs couldn't see it until Sara took their hands. Entering Sara looked to the bar to see Tom polishing a glass.

"Hey Tom do you know where my lot are?" She asked grinning as he gave her a toothless grin back.

"Welcome back Miss Sara your brother and the Weasleys are all out and about in the Alley at the moment." he then saw Gibbs and Mike. "A double room gentlemen?" he asked and the two nodded. Tom took their luggage while Sara paid him and the trio left to find the others.

"Sara!" Sara only had time to see a bushy haired something before it plowed into her she stumbled back a moment but found her balance before hugging her best friend back.

"Ugh Sara can' breathe your too strong now!" Sara and Hermione laughed as they let each other go and Sara saw over her shoulder Harry Ron and the rest of the Weasleys.

"Little Lady I think some introductions are in order." Mike said hiding a smile as was Gibbs.

"Ok Uncle Mike how about we do that on the way to Gringotts Harry and I are needed to collect our Family rings." The group made their way to Gringotts the two muggle men taking in everything and hiding their awe at the new world they were in. When they got to Gringotts the twins and Ginny made their way to Florean Fortesques while Ron Hermione Mr. and Mrs. Weasley Mike and Gibbs made their way inside.

Harry greeted a Goblin working the counter and the group was being escorted back to Griphooks office.

"Ah Lord harry Lady Sara so nice to see you again and Lord And Lady Weasley and young MasterRonald and Miss Hermione. Very nice to see all of you. And you must be Mr. Gibbs Lady Saras father and I apologize I don't know you sir." Griphook said nodding to all of them in turn. When Mike was introduced Griphook got down to business.

"Lord Harry Lady Sara you have twelve inheritances that need to be divided between you." Every one gaped at him.

"D…did you say twelve?" Harry gasped out.

"Yes Lord Harry the reason I do not call you and your sister by a family name is that I don't know what to call you and there is the fact that you insisted on the less formal way address." The two nodded dumbly.

"Ok so what titles do we have?"

"Potter, Peverell, Slytherin, Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, Merlin, le Fey, Pendragon, Romanov, and Wales."

"You're related to Slytherin?" Ron said the disgust on his voice evident.

"Master Ronald you seem to think that being a Slytherin is a bad thing you could not be more wrong. Salazar Slytherin was married to a muggleborn witch by the name of Meredith and had three sons Lady Slytherin was killed by her own brother when he found out she was a witch, Lord Slytherin was grief stricken because not only had his wife died but so had their unborn child their first girl that had been expected with great anticipation. though more wary than ever of muggle born families Lord Slytherin still help muggle villages in need."

"But what about his arguing with Gryffindor that ended their friendship?" Ron said stubbornly. He didn't seem to see that Slytherin was actually a good person while the others witches and wizards digested this world shaking information.

"Arguing between the two was so common place that Lady Ravenclaw and Lady Hufflepuff often had bets going to see which of the two would say sorry first."

He continued.

"Lord Slytherin left the castle after that last time to cool down and help a muggle village with a ghoul problem he was killed by some of the very same people he had helped."

"Now back to the titles it would be easier for the two of you to split everything evenly between you." Harry and Sara looked at each other sing the silent communication skills they had developed over the years though they were not twins being fifteen months apart didn't stop them from having a telepathic link to each other.

"Ok we have it figured out ." Sara announced smiling. "I'll take Peverell Slytherin Ravenclaw Le Fey Pendragon and Romanov."

"And I'll take Potter Gryffindor Hufflepuff, Wales and Merlin." Harry said and Gibbs interrupted.

"that's imbalanced Harrry has five while Sara has six."

"Never ind that you're related to the royal families of Russia and Britian!" Hermione exclaimed.

"We'll freak out about that later Hermione." Sara said in a shaky voice.

"Ah yes I forgot to mention the heir ship of the house of Black seeing as Sirius Black is the children's godfather he has taken Harry as his heir in his will as the Head of House can only be male."

Harry nodded as a knock on the door interrupted them another goblin came in carrying two boxes.

"The rings you've requested Griphook." The goblin said.

"Thank you Ringhammer." Griphook said taking the boxes.

Six rings sat in each box, Griphook instructed the two children to take the family rings they had decided on and watched as the rings accepted the children.

Harry glanced at Sara and asked the question that had been stewing in their minds.

"Griphook is it possible to have the Weasley fortune restored to them?" Mr. and Mrs. Weasley looked stunned while Ron's ears went red with indignation.

"Seeing as all of it that wasn't spent for the upkeep of the family was stolen by the Malfoys yes I believe it is, the Weasley family is a noble and ancient family that has been swindled out of what was rightfully theirs."

"Harry Sara really we are fine with what we.." was cut off by Mr. Weasley.

"No I want our children to have everything they should have had. Granted I wouldn't have wanted them to grow up like Malfoy but if we can get the Weasley fortune back then I'm all for it working for the ministry has put a bad taste in my mouth I only stayed at my job so that my family would have food to eat and clothes to wear, with this money I can finally do what I want to do which is start a company that integrates muggle things such as games and other things into the wizarding world."

"But Arthur really we don't.."

"Molly." It was only one word but it was enough to stop Mrs. Weasley in her tracks the tone of voice that Mr. Weasley used was one of a Head of a Most Noble and Most Ancient House.

Griphook nodded.

"Do not worry Lord Weasley we of the Goblin Nation will get your fortune back I only regret that this was not done years ago with your grandfather."

"One last thing is it possible to bring Hermione under the protection of one of our houses?" Sara said and Hermione looked surprised but flattered.

"I would say so she would have to pick one of you and as her head of house you would be able to protect her and her parents in the magical world while her parents would make decisions for her in the muggle one." Griphook said.

Hermione nodded.

"Is there anything that my parents have to fill out?"

"No the only paper work that needs to be filled out is by you and either Lord Harry or Lady Sara." Hermione looked at her friends and smiled.

"Well I pick Sara, sorry Harry but you don't really know anything about girl things." Everyone in the room laughed as Hermione and Sara signed the documents and became sisters in name.

The group left then and went to meet up with Fred George and Ginny Percy having been in Flourish and Blotts also found them there.

"Well that was eventful I wonder what Hogwarts is going to bring." Hermione said smiling as the Gringotts group laughed.

"Well well well, if it isn't Arthur Weasley and most of his brood isn't this a bit expensive for you Arthur?" Everyone who knew that voice stiffened and Gibbs and Mike tensed as they did.

"Malfoy." Arthur said coldly as he stood everyone else stood with him.

"Oh but I forgot you won the money how fortunate for you." Malfoys pale pointed face was coldly triumphant as his eyes swept the group and a sneer curled his mouth.

"Still associating with muggles I see." He said Muggles like one would say vomit.

"Still buying your way out of trouble Malfoy?" Sara asked as one would about the weather.

"Didn't anyone teach you how to speak to your betters girl?" Gibbs stiffened but her hand on his arm stopped him.

"I was taught to respect people who deserve it, people like you not so much." Sara said with a razor blade smile.

Lucious Malfoy was not used to being insulted by anyone let alone a thirteen year old girl and drew his wand only to find a wand and gun being pointed at his head.

"Bad form Malfoy drawing a wand not only on a group of pure blood witches and wizards a muggle born and two muggles. Not to mention three of those pure bloods are Heads of Most Ancient and Most Noble Houses." Malfoy was not a stupid man well he allied himself with Voldemort so he was technically a stupid man but he did have a healthy sense of self preservation.

"I'll see you get yours you jumped up whelp, the Dark Lord will see to that." Instead of looking afraid Sara smirked.

"Right then tell old Voldemort about your failure last year he'll be overjoyed at that. My brother and I will be waiting for him and when he does appear we'll take him down permanently."

Malfoy made his exit as quickly as his dignity would allow as Sara holstered her wand and gun smirking.

"This year is going to be very interesting isn't it?" Ron said and the others agreed.
