Chapter 10: Oceans

Andromeda Tonks looked at the group of males that surrounded Harriet Potter. The witch had introduced all of them to her friends, Ron and Hermione. The Aurors and herself had stepped forward and introduced themselves when it became apparent that Harriet was planning to stick with the males. The fact that James Potter had a bastard child had surprised the older adults. However, it had reminded her very clearly of her dear cousin's letter.

The group ended up on the muggle side of London to escape the amount of reporters and civilians attempting to look at the Girl-Who-Lived. Despite the negative press, the trials of Pettigrew and Sirius had pushed some positive press on to the Headmaster and Potter Heiress. Andromeda knew Harriet was related to the Blacks via her paternal grandmother. Her brother had a closer relation to the Black family, she could see features of her family in the boy. She knew he didn't belong to Narcissa because that woman wouldn't have touched James Potter with a ten foot wand while Lucius was around.

And their family relation was at least second or third cousins. Too close for the blond woman's taste. He was also a proud blood-traitor by Black Family standards. Then again, the British Wizarding World was quite lenient on the Potter Family.

The only other member left was her older sister Bellatrix. Even then, she wondered how the hell that night had gone down.

"You're our cousin?" Duo asked Tonks. The bright pink haired Auror nodded.

Andromeda smiled slightly at how excited Duo and Harriet looked at finding another relative. "Legally, we were removed from the Black Family. However, we do share the same blood."

"Really?" Harry's green eyes looked bright, "maybe Sirius will add you back? He did send you to represent me."

Andromeda chuckled, "Unless our old Head of House specifically barred him from doing such a thing. Growing up, Sirius and I were close as children." She didn't tell them that Sirius and Bellatrix were closer until he went off to Hogwarts and got sorted into Gryffindor. "Besides, the Malfoys and LeStranges are also family. I haven't spoken with my sisters since I was kicked out of the house."

"Blood purity is intense here." Quatre stated. The blond smiled sadly at Andromeda. The older woman took the sympathy in stride. "How did it get so bad?"

The older wizard and witches exchanged looks. "There has always blood purists since the early years of Hogwarts Founding. It originally started with an attempt to keep old bloods safe, by limiting the amount of new blood admitted to Hogwarts. Back then, muggles would go on witch hunts and attempt to burn us at stake. That's why we developed the flame freezing charm, so we could fake dying and go into hiding. Wizards from old blood families' wanted to erase the memories of the muggles and move new blood wizards into an adoptive family. However, as the centuries past it was considered archaic and with the advancement of muggle technology...not feasible." Andromeda informed them. "The International Confederacy of Wizards was established to address how we should deal with new bloods as well as protect ourselves. That's why we don't allow underage children to use magic at home. And why most wizarding homes are on plots of land out of the way for muggles. The first wizarding war is when things took a rather drastic turn and some old bloods became more outspoken against new bloods. The fall of Grindwald and rise of You-Know-Who are the catalysts for the recent outpouring of discrimination again new bloods. It doesn't help that some idiot posted a book of the Sacred Twenty Eighty listing all of the remaining pureblood families in Britain."

"The discrimination isn't strictly limited to new bloods or muggleborns as you may call them." The dark skinned Auror added on, speaking up for the first time. "The discrimination goes on to half-bloods of any type as well as magical creatures."

Hermione perked up, "Like werewolves and house-elves!"

Harriet and Ron exchanged looks, Andromeda guessed the witch made this a topic of conversation often. "House elves are a bit different than werewolves." The former Black said gently. "I had to explain to Ted that house elves aren't exactly enslaved. They bond with wizarding families to stay alive. The bond gives them the magic needed to survive. If they go too long without a bond they will die. In exchange for the bond, they work for the family. Some families are terrible to house elves. One of my great aunt's started a tradition of beheading house elves that couldn't carry tea trays, it is a disturbing thing to see."

Lunch wasn't long enough in Harriet's opinion. For the second time since entering the Wizarding World an adult had sat down explained more about the magical community. The first time, Narcissa Malfoy had taken pity on her and briefly explained her role in the Wizarding World. The blond woman hadn't mentioned explicitly her dislike of Muggleborns, but Harriet understood she thought muggle raised wizards and witches were uncultured. Andromeda, unlike her former sister, was kinder and more open teaching muggle raised about their new culture.

Andromeda had also looked at Duo oddly more than once, but Harriet wasn't sure if it was because he was her half brother or his mother. Harriet had been comfortablely seated between Duo and Heero. The dark blue eyed muggle had glared at any reporters that attempted to get closer. Her friends had looked surprised at seeing Duo's friends join them.

After Andromeda's clip notes version of history, Hermione had started asking the group of males questions. Harriet kept an eye on her best friend, she knew that the bushy haired witch could become too nosy without realizing she had crossed a line. Hermione had been really curious about Harriet's relationship with Quatre Winner. Ron hadn't understood why the blond was interesting until he was informed that the polite blond was very wealthy in the muggle world.

"Harry, my girl." Dumbledore greeted the witch as they sat beside each other in the courtroom. Her Headmaster wore bright purple robes with twinkling stars on them. His blue eyes looked at her over his half-moon spectacles. Harriet frowned slightly when he didn't meet her eyes. "I do hope the summer is going well."

"It is, sir." The Potter Heiress responded automatically. "It's great that they caught Wormtail."

He nodded, "Indeed. I'm sure that Sirius is truly grateful. He will require immediate medical treatment from mind healers."

"Of course, sir." Silence fell between them as Amelia Bones called for order. The lunch recess was officially over and the woman was ready to sentence the fat lump. Harriet didn't know how she felt as she watched the sentencing. She felt a bit of anger lurking beneath the surface, anger at what she didn't know. Was she angry that he was finally getting justice in a legal way? Or was she angry at the clipped way her Headmaster had spoken to her? It begged the question, why wouldn't he look at her?

The sentencing went by in a blur. Harriet's mind was focused on her feelings of anger. She hadn't experienced the emotion much since moving in with her brother. It felt almost forced. Then again, she also didn't know why her Headmaster was being weirder than usual.

"Harriet, are you ready?" Andromeda's quiet voice snapped her out of her stupor.

Nodding, Harriet glanced around and noticed that Dumbledore had already left. Her friends and Andromeda were looking at her concerned. "Let's go." She felt her cheeks heat up at the fact that she had tuned out the people around her. Pettigrew had been stripped of Order of Merlin and was scheduled to be kissed the following evening after Sirius' trial.

Harriet hadn't mentioned that the bastard had killed Cedric. It wasn't listed in his charges. She had probably sounded like a lunatic while hugging a dead body that past June. Either way, she supposed Cedric would get justice as well.

"Miss Harriet."

Quatre's voice was soothing as it broke through her thoughts. "Quatre."

The blond was standing with Duo. Like her brother, he wore robes. He managed to find khaki colored robes and had wore white pants with a pink dress shirt underneath. "Are you alright? The others are waiting outside for us."

"Harry, who are your friends?"

Harriet turned and was surprised to see Dumbledore standing with Remus and Arthur Weasley. She felt a wave of anger before pushing aside the emotion. "Headmaster, Professor Lupin, Mr. Weasley...this is my brother and cousin." She gestured to the two males. "I've been staying with them."

"Brother?" Remus asked curiously. His amber eyes looked over Duo and Quatre. He could tell now why Lily had wanted to kill Bellatrix. It wasn't because the older witch had orchestrated James' kidnapping...it's because she had committed line theft. "Remus Lupin. A friend of your father's. I haven't been a professor in two years." The wolf offered Duo his hand.

Duo smiled at him as he shook the offered hand, "Duo Maxwell."

"Maxwell? That's not a pureblood name." Ron spat out before his father silenced him with a glare. "At least he should have Potter if he's gonna claim to be her brother."

Mr. Weasley laughed lightly, "Ronald." His tone was a warning one. "So you're Harry's older brother? Molly will be thrilled to meet you." And the mild mannered Weasley Patriarch was back.

"Harry, a word." Dumbledore requested serenely as he linked his fingers together. Andromeda placed a hand on the teenager's shoulder.

"Is this school related?" Her cousin had given her a brief overview of Harriet's home life with her muggle relatives. He had even mentioned that her half brother may show up with her. The witch also was not a member of Dumbledore's club. She didn't believe he was infallible and, like few others, would stand up to him. "I've been informed that you have been acting as her magical guardian, in a legal grey area."

"Andromeda," the old wizard's tone was grandfatherly as he peered at her. "Harry's safety has always been my top priority."

The witch raised an eyebrow, "Then I am merely acting in my legal regard as her attorney in questioning if your next words to her are related to Hogwarts."

"She doesn't have a half-brother." Dumbledore informed her sharply. "I am sorry young man that you were led to believe otherwise..."

Remus coughed lightly, "Actually...Sirius and I knew of his existence."

"What?"

"James didn't tell many people." Remus stated simply. It wasn't a lie, but he didn't want to go into details while in public.

Duo chuckled, "You must be Dumbledore." His violet eyes looked over the elderly wizard. The Headmaster practically had a strong hold on Magical Britain according to WuFei. "My sister mentioned you placed her with the very caring Dursleys. She won't be returning there and she's only returning to Hogwarts because that's what she wants."

"I am still her magical guardian." Albus informed him. "However, Harr-"

Andromeda cleared her throat, "You are not." The witch informed him. "You are not and have not been listed as her guardian. If you acted in that position you did so outside of your jurisdiction."

Harriet looked at the adults around her quietly. She wasn't sure why, but she was glad Andromeda had stuck around. Though, part of her wondered why the Headmaster wouldn't even look at her.

"Is everything alright here?" Cornelius Fudge asked as he left the courtroom with a toad looking woman. She wore bright pink and a false smile. "Albus, you haven't left. Excellent, excellent. I do need to speak with you." The portly man glanced at the group. He didn't recognize Duo or Quatre, but his eyes landed on Harriet and went right to her forehead. The witch brushed her bangs down to hide her scar. "Miss Potter, how are you this evening?"

"I'm doing well this evening, Minister." Harriet responded, "Especially since my godfather and parents are finally getting the justice they should have gotten a year ago."

The man's face turned bright red. He remembered thinking the witch was lying and very addled. He also remembered what happened less than a month ago. "Yes, well it's very well that justice is served."

"What about Voldemort's return?" The raven haired girl asked. "You've slammed me in the press all summer, but caught the rat that resurrected him."

Fudge fidgeted and glanced around them. "There's nothing I can do about that, we're focusing on the trials now. Besides, I didn't make the Prophet drag you."

"Ahem-hem." Everyone in Harry's group looked at the toad like woman. "You should learn the proper way to speak to adults, young lady."

Duo frowned at the woman and her condescending tone. "Lady, watch your tone."

"And who are you?" The woman asked. Her eyes narrow. "I doubt your parents work here or are of the respectable sort if you behave this way."

Quatre placed a hand on Duo's shoulders. "Harriet raised a fair question about what you plan to do about the Dark Lord before it becomes a huge war. We know the Ministry has a controlling interest in the Prophet and just wants the truth printed."

"What the Ministry considers as the truth is printed." The toad woman bit out before frowning at them.

"Dolores, please calm down." The Minister requested. "Harriet and her friends don't mean any disrespect. This trial is high profile considering Lord Black is involved." The portly man seemed to remember why he came over. "Albus, I do need a moment of your time."

The elderly wizard frowned at him. "I am afraid, we'll have to schedule a later time. I'm quite busy looking for a new Defense Professor."

"I told you, we could provide one." Cornelius reminded him. "I left Dolores in charge of finding a suitable member of our government that we could loan Hogwarts."

"Ah, yes." Dumbledore acknowledged, "Ms. Umbridge has yet to send a suitable candidate, as such I'm continuing my search." The toad woman bristled as if offended.

The pink wearing woman glared at him, "are you saying I couldn't teach Defense?"

Fudge looked surprised. "You submitted yourself?"

"Well, if we want the job filled properly, I knew I was the best candidate of course." Her tone sickeningly sweet.

Harriet looked over at Ron. The redhead looked as perplexed as the Girl-Who-Lived felt. Her green eyes caught her brother and cousin looking slightly interested in the exchange. Andromeda didn't look surprised or amused, her face was the perfect mask of indifference. Remus and Arthur had concern written all over their face.

Taking charge, Andromeda bid the three higher ups a good evening and herded Harriet and company to the lifts. The witch reached into her pocket and tossed a few knuts into a bowl, it changed into floo powder. She offered it to the Weasleys first. Arthur attempted to pay it back, but she waved him off. Ron and his dad waved bye to Harriet before stepping through the flames. Hermione had left a little earlier with Tonks.

"Alright, you three are coming with me." Andromeda ordered. The witch had to solve the mystery of Duo's mother. She looked over at Remus, "Are you coming as well? Or do you want to wait for that toad witch to show up."

Remus shook his head. "I don't normally speak ill of people, but she won't be missed by anyone."

"Who was that woman? And where do you want to take us?" Duo asked. His violet eyes flickered as he looked between his distant cousin and father's friend.

"Dolores Umbridge has been writing laws to remove the rights of magical creatures, including werewolves, and muggleborns since her appointment. Her views on muggleborns are said to align with You-Know-Who." Remus told them in a hush as he glanced over at the security guards. The Aurors on duty were ignoring them. "To Diagon Alley?"

"Gringotts, we'll need to do an inheritance test and you can fill out the paperwork to formally recognize him as a member of House Potter."

Harriet glanced at Duo and Quatre, before looking at Andromeda again. "I'm not old enough to fill out paperwork."

"You're the Head of House Potter, you are a recognized adult in the-" The dark haired witch stopped talking and looked at the younger witch. "Oh so that's his game."

Quatre cleared his throat. "We just need to grab our friends before we go."

"Where did they go?" Andromeda asked. She knew the five had blended into the crowd, but wasn't sure how they snuck off afterwards.

Remus' amber eyes looked over Harriet. The wolf side of him could tell the girl was fine. He didn't often listen to that side of him, but even he could see how excited she was to be with Duo. "Perhaps, we should wait until tomorrow? That way we can go with Sirius as well."

"Where is he?" Harriet finally asked. She couldn't wait to see her godfather again. He had become the father figure she had lacked. And he always listened to her. When he broke into a wizarding house just to floo her in the common room last year. It had proven he was reckless, but cared for her. She really hoped he liked Duo and Quatre. Her new found family members were wonderful people.

"That old mutt is in Gringotts and staying put until it's time for his trial. The goblins agreed to house him there for a 48 hour time frame." Remus informed her. "The Head of DMLE said it was there or a Ministry holding cell. Of course, he doesn't trust the Ministry to not off him the moment he stepped inside. Tomorrow, he'll be escorted here by Aurors."

Duo placed a hand on Harriet's shoulder. "In that case we'll see you all tomorrow."

"I'll see if I can schedule an inheritance test." Andromeda conceded. "They always like appointments better anyway."

Quatre glanced at Duo, "would it be possible to schedule two more?"

"For your friends?" She asked softly. The blond nodded. "These tests aren't cheap and-"

"I'll pay for them." Harriet volunteered. "I should have enough in my trust vault."

Andromeda paused, before nodding. She was going to point out that she had enough in the Potter Family Vault, but decided it wasn't a road to travel down. Not yet at least. Tomorrow, when she finally saw her cousin she would get answers. "I'll make the arrangements. It will be late when the trial ends tomorrow as well." She warned.

"Andromeda, please feel free to leave." Remus encouraged her. "I have a few more words for these three before I head home myself."

The older woman looked at him before nodding. "I will see you all tomorrow." The woman knew tomorrow would be interesting. She would leave the teens to Remus for now, because the werewolf could be trusted. Besides, she was certain she had witnessed the depths of her sister's madness.

The boys and Harriet regrouped at a restaurant not far from the telephone booth that led to the Ministry. It was a casual, hole in the wall, but they got in and were waiting patiently for their meals. Harriet was between Quatre and Duo this time around. Neither male seemed to notice how she had tried to sit next to Heero. However, Heero had smirked at her antics.

The messy haired brunet instead listened to WuFei explain what he knew about Sirius Black. Harriet had already informed them of her side of the story before her court appearance. Heero's eyes roamed over to Harriet. The teen was interesting before she came into their custody and even now she only became more interesting. Heero thought of her as quiet and sheltered. She didn't hesitate to learn or try new things though. The lawyer she had met in the court room was her godfather's cousin.

Andromeda Tonks' physical appearance being similar to Duo was not lost on any of the males. "You look really similar to Mrs. Tonks." Harriet commented after they started discussing the woman. It had surprised them that Sirius had sent someone to legally look after her. Her green eyes were examining her brother as if to reinforce the image. "Do you think she's-?"

"No." Quatre responded. "She was surprised to see him. Her question about his parents was genuine. He's not her son. However Duo's mother must be closely related to her."

Harriet nodded. "I wonder who her sisters are." Andromeda hadn't mentioned their specific names. Shrugging, she put a straw in her cup. "We'll do the inheritance test tomorrow and you'll get to meet Sirius as well."

"Tomorrow is going to be a long day." Quatre informed them as he elaborated on Harriet's words. He informed them about the conversation with Andromeda and Remus.

Harriet glanced over at Heero, before looking at Trowa. Trowa's attention shifted from Quatre to her. He offered her a small smile. Harriet smiled back before looking at her soda pop. Her brother had handsome friends. Listening to Quatre talk, Harriet wondered about her feelings of anger towards the Headmaster. Then again, she had felt angry in general until Duo and Quatre showed up. When she left with them, she found herself relaxing. She barely remembered the one dream she had that involved Voldemort since she stayed with them.

She knew all of these men had burst into her room with various weapons ready to defend her. Harriet had forgotten to warn them about her nightmares. They hadn't been mad and they had left her in Duo's care. Her brother had given her water and they had talked about it. Now that she thought about it, she didn't remember what she told him. She did remember writing a letter to Sirius once he left her room.

Duo glanced over at Harriet. She wasn't listening to them, instead she was thinking about something rather hard. "We did ask for her to make an appointment for several inheritance tests, maybe you guys will find out more about your families." Trowa and Heero nodded. "The only other thing, is that Hogwarts is currently looking for a new Defense professor."

"Really?" Trowa asked glancing over at the only student among them. "Sounds like something you could look into WuFei."

"What?" The Asian man responded. His eyes narrowed at his taller friend. "I have no interest in teaching. I enjoy the tutoring and that's it."

Duo glanced at Quatre, "If you don't do it, this bigoted woman that looks like a frog will go instead. She looks as useful as a soft pretzel in water."

Harriet chuckled, "That's an interesting phrase."

"He says weirder things as you get to know him." Heero added with a hint of amusement.

WuFei crossed his arms in defiance. "Tutoring and teaching aren't the same thing."

"You have a better chance than any of us." Quatre added. "Besides, you could keep an eye on that Headmaster. He's up to something. If it wasn't for Mrs. Tonks, I'm certain he would have tried to take Miss Harriet back to the Dursleys."

"I'll consider it." WuFei conceded as their food arrived. "If I decide not to apply, I don't want to hear a peep from any of you." His dark eyes stared Duo down.

"That's all we ask." Quatre responded diplomatically, "Isn't that right, Duo?"

Duo rolled his eyes, "BS. I want someone to watch over my sister while she's around that hippie Santa."

There was silence before Harriet started laughing at the mental image. Duo was definitely the best person she had ever met.
