The next day was slightly awkward in the Potter,Lupin,Black household. Harry gave his sister and Remus the silent treatment while muttering under his breath how 'inconsiderate' some people were.
Sirius though he had said he had granted forgiveness to Rosalie still pestered for pancakes as apparently the way to the old dogs heart was threw his stomach.
Remus had apologised to both Harry and Sirius. Sirius played along at first pretending not to register the apology. He just carried on drinking his morning coffee like he wasn't there but when Rosalie brought the pancakes out.
She refused to give them out until Sirius at least acknowledged Remus speaking. That soon had him talking even if it was something about 'corrupting his innocent little lion'.
So as they all sat to eat pancakes while Remus groveld slightly in an attempt to win them round a large eurpion eagle owl came knocking at the window of the kitchen.
With a flick of his wand Remus opened the window letting the owl fly into the kitchen where it flew over to Rosalie hovering above the dining table.
Rosalie stood up and untied the letter that was attached to its leg. The letter was beige with a large Hogwarts crest onto it.
With letter in hand she used her free hand to give the bird some of the pancakes crumbs. Which it took quite happily before flying back out of the open window.
'Who's it from?' Sirius asks.
'I'm guessing Dumbledore by the large Hogwarts crest' Rosalie says holding out the envelope for him to see as she ripped it open.
As her eyes scanned the letter she could feel the other three watching her carefully. Only diverting their eyes away when she folded the letter and set it on the table.
'Dumbledore wants to meet me at Hogwarts this afternoon and he wants to talk to you as well Harry' She says taking her seat back at the table.
This caused Harry to become curious so he broke his silence. 'Me? Why does Dumbledore want to talk to me?'
Rosalie shrugged and handed the letter over to him so he could see for himself.
Harry read the letter before giving it back to his sister who folded it neatly and slipped it in to her back pocket.
'Any idea why he wants to talk to you Rosalie?' Remus asks.
'Oh i have an idea' Rosalie says not extending her explanation any further.
'Which is?' Remus presses.
'Nothing i would rather mention yet. Rather not get anyone's hopes up yet' Rosalie says glancing at her brother as she starts to collect plates of the table while the three men gave each other curious looks.
The rest of the morning past in somewhat of a routine. They all showered, caught up on the latest order missions from the notes and files that were kept in the back of the Blacks library.
Until just after noon when Rosalie pulled her black cloak around her and Harry put on his jacket meeting her by the fireplace.
'Ready to go?' She asked her younger brother.
'As i'll ever be' Harry Replied as he stepped in to the fireplace.
'Good off you go then i will follow after you so wait for me' Rosalie says just as Sirius and Remus walk in to the room.
'See you two later then' Harry says before grabbing a handful of floo powder which he threw into the fire.
Both men nodded as Harry whirled around into the flames. 'So care to tell us the real reason Dumbldore called for you' they asked.
'I'm going to be making sure Harry doesn't have to go back to my awful Aunts ever again' Rosalie says simply as the men's face light up.
Sirius fist punched the air in excitement. 'Go get them little lion'
'Good luck' Remus says as she follows behind Harry.
Harry is stood in Dumbledore's office looking at some of the many artefacts that the head master had scattered around while Rosalie dusted her trousers of from the dust that had settled on them.
The office was empty of its owner only the two Potters stood there. 'It never changes this place' Rosalie muses.
'You could say i am a little resistant to change' a voice says from behind Rosalie.
Rosalie jumps, as does Harry who drops a little trinket that he had in his hand.
'Sorry Professor 'Harry says as he rushes to put the trinket back in its place while Rosalie frowns slightly at her brothers nervous and quick reply at something as simple as dropping a trinket.
'Ah there is no problem in being curious Harry, in fact i think Hagrid would rather appreciate a visit from you. I am sure he would love to know how it's been having your older sister around again' Dumbledore says as he walks behind his desk.
Stroking his phoenix's head affectionately on his way around.
'Oh right yes sir' Harry says.
'I shall send a patronus to come find you after our meeting here is finished'Dumbledore says as Harry nods exiting the office.
'Please sit Miss Potter' Dumbledore says flicking his wand to pull out the chair across from him.
Rosalie sits in the seat un fastening the clip that kept her cloak fastened before hanging it on the chair behind her.
'I think i know why you called me here'Rosalie says placing her wand on the table.
Dumbledore nodded. 'It is time to do what we had planned to on the night of the full moon'.
Rosalie sat up straighter in her chair. This was the night were she would get to seal the promise to protect her brother.
'Good now i am sure you know what you are doing is a large transfer of not only magic but responsibility as well'
'That i am aware of. It is something i have wanted to do since i turned eighteen' Rosalie says
'He is not going back to my aunt and her pig of a husbands ever agin' Rosalie said her hand tighting in to a fist.
It was no secret that the Dursleys were awful people. Rosalie had seen Petunia disown her mother first hand. There is always the memories of the first time she saw Harry after they were separated.
Harry's nappy was full and he was red in the face from crying in that filthy cupboard under the stairs.
It had broke five year old Rosalie's heart seeing her brother so upset and unloved but there was nothing she could do to.
No one would go over Dumbledore's orders for the boy to stay there even if she could have gotten someone to listen to her.
It was one of the reasons she ran when she turned eighteen after the ministry turned down her first try to get custody of Harry.
But she was back now. Older,braver and this time with Dumbledore on her side.
'And the ministry are okay with this now?, not that I'm opposed to going behind there backs' Rosalie says leaning back in her chair.
'This is all above board Mrs Potter, now do you remember how i told you that your mother died protecting your brother?'
'Yes i do and that it was my mother's love that saved him. So he had to stay with a blood relative that was of age until there was a time that my magic was strong enough to be sealed to the bond' Rosalie continues as Dumbledore finishes.
'Thus the bond and protection of one Harry James Potter will be transferred to you as well as my protection charm which shall only last till his 17th birthday' Dumbledore says finishing his explanation.
'And Harry won't ever have to go back to my aunts again'
'Not for as long as you live'
'Is there no way to stop him going back there all together because we both know this is war we can't guarantee that i will live to see the end of it' Rosalie asks wanting to tie everything up so Harry never had to back to privet drive.
'There is only one way,a second adult may be added to the bond and that is you to marry your soul mate that would seal them into the bond automatically'
'Oh' was all Rosalie said as she let that sink in.
'Now if you are ready i shall need to perform the spell to change the deeds' Dumbledore says standing up from his chair.
'I am ready' Rosalie says standing up rolling the sleeve up of her wand wielding arm.
Standing in front of the desk Dumbledore took Rosalie's arm into his hand placing it on his right forearm before putting his hand on her left forearm.
'Now this will take a large toll on you so be aware of that' Dumbledore warns before drawing his wand.
'I'm ready' Rosalie says. And with that Dumbledore begins to say the enchantments for the spell.
A blinding white light comes from his wand surrounding there joined arms. The enchantment was long a riddle of English words and Latin.
The spell made Rosalie's magic go hay wire at the transfer. The trinkets Harry had been touching earlier were now levitating and falling to the floor while her arm began to heat up like she was holding it in the flames of a fire.
As the light turns from white to silver. Rosalie stumbled backwards as Dumbledore lowered his wand only just catching the witch by her wrist to stop her from hitting the ground.
'Merlin'Rosalie wheezes as she regains her balance. Feeling as though she had been run over by the knight bus as her magic ran low with the new transfer.
'Sit down Miss Potter it has been a big adjustment for you, it will take your body a while to get used to it' Dumbledore says as he goes to pull out a old worn file from his desk that read. 'Harry James Potter'.
Rosalie grabbed the desk and lowered herself back into the chair.
'Now i have transferred my charm so that where ever you may reside and call home Voldemort shall not be able to harm Harry. As well as the bond your mother created is now sealed' Dumbledore explains as he pulls out a deep red quill.
A Quill that is easily recognised as a blood quill.
Dumbledore pushes the now open file towards Rosalie laying the quill on top.
'To make this official in the ministries eyes this contract needs to be signed and sealed by blood'
'Delightful' Rosalie says with a grimace as she picks up the quill.
After reading the official document she outs quill to paper and begins to sign on the dotted line.
As she wrote her name on to the paper. A sharp intake of breath as it cut deep into her skin letting her blood flow through to the paper. Leaving her name signed in blood.
As she dropped the back of her hand ached just like the rest of her body except this time her name was carved into the skin on the back of her hand.
'That makes it official, you are now the legal guardian of Harry James Potter' Dumbledore says collecting the file back from in front of the women. Closing it over and placing it back in his desk.
'Thank you Albus,is that all?' Rosalie asks desperate to get home as her magic was so low she just wanted to rest,
'Nearly there is one last thing' Dumbledore says sitting up straight.
'We have a new position looming as you are probably aware we had a attempt at a duelling club a couple of years ago but that did not go well but with the war looming i want to teach my students to defend themselves' Dumbledore says.
'Some sort of club?' Rosalie asks with a raised brow.
'As of sorts. These are dark times and those who would like to shall have the option to learn to protect themselves if they want. And i cannot think of any one better than you to teach the class' Dumbledore says.
'Well that i do think is a good idea but me really? Teaching?' Rosalie says.
Dumbledore nods. 'Yes you. You are the right person for this job. Not many people can defeat death eaters and infiltrate a pack of werewolves and come out alive'
'I will do it on one condition' Rosalie bargains.
'And what may that be?' Dumbledore asks.
'Remus is my assistant' Rosalie asks folding her arms across her chest.
Dumbledore smiles brightly 'That would be a wonderful idea Miss Potter'
'Then you have yourself a deal' Rosalie says happily.
'Then i shall expect you and Mr Lupin here on the 5th of September in three weeks time for your first class' Dumbledore says.
'We shall be here bright and early, now will you be long with Harry? Or should i hang around and wait for him?' Rosalie asks.
'If you do not mind i would like to keep him for a few hours. I can assure you that he will be safe with me. I will send him home by floo when we are finished' Dumbledore says as Rosalie pulls her cloak on.
'That is fine by me but please can you not mention the custody thing with him as i would like to be the one to tell him myself' Rosalie says as she fastens the silver clasp on her cloak.
'It is safe with me Miss Potter. Have a good afternoon now. Though i should mention an owl should be on its way to you soon with the details of upcoming mission that i would like you to lead' Dumbledore says before signalling that the meeting was over.
'Another mission? I thought i would get a break now. At least for a little while' Rosalie says with a sigh.
'There is no rest for the wicked i am afraid Miss Potter'
Rosalie just nods as she steps into the fire place. To euphoric over the fact Harry would be with the family he deserved and loved at last.
So as she steps out of the floo,it only takes her a moment to see that Sirius and Remus had not left the spot Rosalie had left them in two hours earlier.
'So?' Sirius questions from his seat.
'it's official he never has to go back to privet drive again. I am now the guardian of my little brother' Rosalie says a grin spreading on her face.
Sirius is the first to jump up from his seat. 'Yes' Sirius said jumping in the air punching it with excitement.
'That's brilliant Rosalie' Remus says a warm smile on his face as Sirius pulls the pair into a group hug.
They could officially be a family now or at least they hope they could. But you never know what's around the corner or coming in the mail.
