A/N: This is just part of the chapter Hectic split up, and the last one. I have edited it a bit more to fix some things though. Please enjoy.

Chapter Eleven

Start of the Holiday Break

Next morning was the start of all the Hogwarts students Holidays. Ace had left with all the other students though he just had a backpack full of his things and not a trunk to carry. Many people asked him why he wasn't taking anything. To which Ace replied he didn't need to take all his school things. Some asked about Home Work. Which he told them was already done. After being a commander on Pop's ship. Ace learned to get all paper work out of the way the moment you got it. Thanks to Marco. Ace was walking around the train and found compartment only to fall asleep the moment he had sat down.

Ace turned around "You're back already." Marco said. To him it had been no time at all.

Ace stretched. "On a train right now. Want to help me with Haki or anything else?"

Marco laughed and tossed him a blindfold. "Lets get to work."

"Will this work if I am not in my body at the moment?"

"Should since Haki is tapped into your will power." He swung a kick at Ace's head.

Ace was sent flying into the wall "What the hell!"

"Get back to your starting point now."

Ace grumbled and looked up seeing how much taller Marco was to him right now. He thought about Pops. He was always big and how would it be for him being a child looking at him now. He turned to Marco and images of the war flashed in his mind. He would not let anyone else die and Haki would make him stronger.

Madam Bones groaned the trial was to be tomorrow but was pushed up yesterday by the Minister. Saying he wanted it to look as if they where doing something good.

She looked over her checklist, the evidence. All of her witnesses have also been notified of the change. Though it bothered her that Mr. Portgas never responded to her request for him to show up.

'Well I don't need him.' Grabbing the rest of her things she was off. When she left her office her assistant was walking up to her.

"Madam Bones, we got a tip last night there was a few break-ins. A team was sent out to look into them. The potions you asked for the trial are ready. The new Auror Brown will be the one with the potions along with Moody to help with anything. Another note is that rumors of who will be defending him are Malfoy." He said walking behind her as she passed the Aurors who were at their desk doing paperwork. "I have made sure that there was a reminder to keep the celebrations tonight for the up coming holidays low key if you live near muggles. "

Madam Bones nodded and smiled "Jeffery thank you so much. That will be all. I have to head to the trial."

Jeffery looked at her, "do you think things will go well?"

Madam Bones ran her hand through her hair. "I would say yes. But with Malfoy helping I don't know how many people have been bribed. I thought the man want the school to be safe from someone who put his son in danger."

Madam Bones walked to courtroom ten, while carrying her papers. Fudge had asked for her to bring the case papers about Quirinus Quirrell. She walked into the courtroom taking her seat and noticed more people filing in. It was ten minutes till the time to start. She saw the 7th year lion walk in. Which brought a smile to her face this was good. It means I can ask him what happen with the troll. She saw some of her staff showing as well. She looked around to see Madam Longbottom walk in with her grandson sitting in the visitor's seats. While she went over taking her seat for the house. She then glanced over the family's who where killed off during the last war. Many still had blood lines out there but just didn't claim it. She glanced to the Potter's and Black and all the others which where empty till the heirs took their seats. Where all being controlled by someone else. And she was sure was Albus doing it for many. She looked but didn't see the Potter name but saw written there Portgas instead. 'Oh not good for him. If he wants to hide who he is.'

She saw a magical paper airplane flying towards her. She took it and read it over with wide eyes. She just finished and saw him walk in. Every person in the courtroom turned to see Albus and the Minister walk in. She handed Fudge the packet she had as he sat down. He nodded at her "thank you Madam."

Lucius Malfoy walked in and sat at a table next to the chair with chains.

Quirinus Quirrell was then brought in next with cuffs on. Moment he sat down the chains sprouted up trapping him.

Lucius glared at the chain. She noticed something about him was off. Looking at him he looked nervous like he had something to lose. It doesn't add up he could have used this to get Albus fired. Why wasn't he? He is helping him. She shook her head and got ready to talk to all of the judges meaning everyone there who had a seat.

Albus shot off a sparks from his wand to get everyone attention. "Alright we are hear for the hearing of Quirinus Quirrell. For endangerment of children and attempted murder of on Ace D Portgas." Many of the purebloods were muttering 'Portgas you heard of that name?' 'Most likely a muggleborn.'

"Since Quirrell was a Professor at Hogwarts I feel I do not have the right to vote today as the Chief Warlock. So as the Chief Warlock of Wizengamot I will be having the Minster of Magic running this trial. "

Madam Bones groaned not only will Fudge have Minster vote but the Fudge family, and now Chief Warlock. She looked to Malfoy who was smiling like Christmas had come early.

Lee's parents where at the moment offering Ace a place to stay till Neville's party.

Ace bowed "I am sorry but I have many things I have to get done. I appreciate the offer. But I must decline. Thank you for the ride." He stood up smiling.

Lee gave Ace a hug "See you later mate. Also your gift is amazing. See you at Neville's."

Lee walked away with his parent. "Lee I think he lives with someone."

"What?"

"I have never meet a child who didn't have someone who was so well mannered. He behaves like many pureblood children brought up right."

Mr. Jordan nodded "I agree with your mother. He must have an adult and is keeping quiet for their sake."

Lee looked back to see Ace was already gone.

Ace looked at the entrance of the bank and walked in. He walked up to a desk with a goblin who was counting gold. He stood there waiting till they where done. Since the pile was almost done being counted.

The goblin was finishing up counting. It was in a way to test the wizards and witches on there manors. Really they could wait just a moment till they where done. He finished to see the young wizard before him. Looking him up and done he gave off a vibe of a fighter. But knew when to wait. He smirked as he leaned forward "Hello what can I help you with today?"

A witch near by who was talking to her goblin turned her head having never heard the goblin say Hello or ask what they could help someone with. The blonde woman was surprised to see a boy the same age as her son.

"Hello, thank you for your time. I am to meet with a man named Barchoke." He handed the letter over. "If he is too busy I can set up a meeting time and come back. With the holidays I am sure you are swamped." Ace said smiling.

The goblin nodded looking the letter over. "I will go check on him right now Mr. Portgas. I shall be right back." He got up and left.

.0.o.0.

Madam Bones stood up "Ladies and Gentleman… Or Witches and Wizards. This made many of the people smile at her. "On the morning of Halloween I had many owls sent to me from worried parents about a troll that was let into school. The Ministry of Magic can not go unless evidence if given. Which we received. While going not only did we find out the troll had to be let in. But many of us almost witnessed the murder of Mr. Ace D Portgas. We as the Minster are charging Mr. Quirinus Quirrell with One count endangerment of the lives of Hogwarts students. One count attempted murder." She looked to the Minister of Magic who nodded for her to seat.

Malfoy stood and paced "I am here to represent Mr. Quirinus Quirrell. I will be proving to all of you today that he is innocent and that the Ministry leaped to their charging too fast. And falsely imprisoned a man."

He sat down next to Quirrell who looked very shaken up.

0.o.0.

Ace stood there waiting it was about ten minutes that goblin who been helping him came back. "Follow me."

The woman was taken back never had she been seen so fast having to wait at least an hour with an appointment.

Ace followed the Goblin "I never got you name?"

The goblin smiled "It is Old Strike."

Ace smiled and followed after Old Strike and was lead into a room that was a very nice office. There was a small table next to his desk piled with paper work. And weapons on the walls.

"Hello Mr. Portgas. I am Barchoke." He said standing.

Ace bowed "thank you for meeting with me today Barchoke."

Barchoke looked surprised well what a goblin would look like. "Well sit." He walked to a file cabinet and pulled it open and pulled a file out. He sat back down and opened it. Ace noticed it expand as it opened.

"So I sent many owls to you with statements for you but you say you haven't received them?"

"No I haven't"

Barchoke sat back with his long fingers in front of him. He appeared to be the epitome of calm while his mind was racing a mile a minute. He had been looking over the Potter account since he was the one in charge of it. He had went ahead and tied down all the Potter accounts and properties. But someone got into it. And as his honor dictated he must get everything back. He needed to fix this and only way to do that would be to make the Potter well the Portgas heir an adult in everyone's eyes. He needed to be care full because he couldn't push the boy to go down this path because it could lead to another war with the wizards and witches.

Barchoke looked up at Ace with a stern look "that means someone is taking your mail. I will be filing some paper work to the ministry and hope that this gets fixed soon. Now what do you know of your holdings? And why did you want to meet?"

"Nothing besides what I saw in my vault."

"That is a trust vault. Your guardian should have informed you of this."

"My family left me to die. It is reason I am here. I want to be able to control my life. I know some witches and wizards want me to go back by the summer time. I will not go back there. And what I know from readings that you be able to help get the papers filed for an emancipation."

Barchoke smirked "Yes I can." He got up and went to a cabinet and pulled out papers for an emancipation. "If you have your muggle families sign this you will be an adult in the magical world. This would have been harder to do but with you changing your full name you changed the Potter to become the Portgas's. Now the person who was your magical Guardian is no longer your guardian. Since he did not fill paper work to stay your guardian in the first month of your name change. And since everyone will think Portgas is a muggle name they won't bother till it is too late."

"Who was my guardian?"

"You didn't know…." He wrote things down. "Sorry it is against the law to not inform you. The headmaster of Hogwarts is your Guardian. You should have had Sirius Black. But something changed when you where three years old in our paper work."

Ace nodded "where is Sirius Black?"

"He is in Prison right now still awaiting trial. Now there are many things I need to inform you." He pulled out a paper looking it over, "One your parents will has yet to be read. Reason is that Albus Dumbledore had it sealed and can't be read until you seen as a legal adult. Now once the emancipation papers are signed by your muggle family." He said handing over the paper work. "You will be an adult in the muggle and wizarding world. If you wish to get full right to your everything. You will need to sign this the moment you are an adult. It will give a magical date and have owls inform everyone involved with the wills reading."

"Isn't it more work than this?"

Barchock shook his head "Wizards and witches are lazy and like things to be simple. We also figured you want to be an adult and not controlled. And like to have this option as is set up for all the heirs of Noble, Pureblood, or the ancient family's who is the last of their line. You are a Noble and Ancient family." He handed Ace a book. "This book is a book about all of the things you will be receiving as an adult. One is to perform magic out of school. As well of other things."

"There has to be more than just this? I mean getting emancipation must be harder than this."

Barchoke nodded "there is one thing to do to have your blood tested which does not take long well for you." He pulled a bowl. "What this does is let us use our magic to test what lines you belong too. And will tell you all of your wealth and things belonging to you."

Ace nodded seeing Barchoke pull a knife out. Ace took it and had to really work with his devil fruit to let himself be cut.

Blood poured into the cup once there was enough it vanished. And Ace's hand healed like he didn't cut him self. "The results will be ready in three days."

Ace looked at the paper work "Thank you… I need to get this signed. I will see you later. May I meet with you in three days? I rather have no owls sent out with the results."

"No problem. Also use the knight bus to get to your family. It will be faster." He was just thinking of the reaction of Albus today when he couldn't vote with the Potters family vote.

"Could I get some Muggle money? I know you been a big help already."

"Why yes." He handed over a checkbook and id to Ace. The moment Ace touched it. Ace saw it change to a muggle passport. "Check book is to your trust vault."

Ace smiled and bowed before leaving. "Thank you." He had quickly left. He ran all the way to the Leaky Cauldron. Running outside he raised his wand and the bus was there in two minutes.

There was a female driver sitting there. And a male smiling "Hi name is Jason Bagshot. Where too chap?"

"I need to go to Private Drive # 4. And fast as you can."

The woman smiled "sure thing no one else shouldn't take long." She then floored it.

"Mr. Ollivander." Madam Bones said looking up from her paper work. "The night we visited you said the wand before you belonged to Mr. Quirrell if that correct."

"Yes. May I pick it up?"

"Go ahead." Fudge said.

He looked the wand over "yes it still belongs to him." He said looking it over.

"What do you mean by that?"

Ollivander looked up. "Many of you have bought wands from me. I tell each of you the wand chooses the wizard. If you are to use someone else wand you will not have as good results as using your own. Now a wand can end up be taken and decided to change owners. It will then work for the other wizard. But this wand belongs to Mr. Quirrell."

"I have no more questions. Thank you." Madam Bones said.

Lucius got up "Mr. Ollivander I was wondering if by chance someone took someone's wand to use. Could they still pull off spells that were used to attempt to kill Mr. Portgas?"

"It…. It would almost be impossible. The spell used is dark and a strong one… So that means the person would have to be very powerful. More powerful than a normal wizard."

"But you are saying it is possible. Would it be easier say if the person's wand was similar to Mr. Ollivander?"

"No…. It would not have the best results. That is why family wands should not be passed down to children."

Madam Bones smiled at this. "I am done questioning him." Lucius said sitting down.

"Mr. Quirrell is next to the stand."

Petunia was enjoying her day very much. Her son Dudley had gotten home last week for the Holidays from Smelting. It was still early in the morning and Vernon was sleeping in. He had to stay late the night before at work to get things ready. As they where leaving to vacation in Florida this holiday.

Even though it was getting close to noon she didn't bother to wake her men as she read the gossip columns in the daily paper. She was getting up and making lunch when she heard the doorbell ring. Thinking it was one of her son's friends she answered it only for her heart to sink seeing her Nephew Harry Potter before her.

"Hello, trust me I don't want to be here. But here I need you to sign this and I will be seen as an adult and out of your hair. Mr. Dursley must sign it as well." Ace said smiling.

She glared at the boy but thought of what Dumbledore said… "Get in here."

Ace walked in and groaned never wanting to come back.

"I will go wake Vernon and make Lunch." She left the papers on the table which Ace picked up.

He glared at this place still wanting his revenge. He soon heard Vernon yelling.

.0.o.0.

"Mr. Quirrell is yours to question now." Madam bones said looking to Lucius.

Quirrell looked shaken up. Madam Bones had been harsh in questioning him for more than thirty minutes. Asking him why he was in the Dungeons, why would someone who is said to be gifted with fighting trolls flee at the sight of one? And did he not think it would follow him leading it to the children. He also fainted but wasn't found later. What was he doing? Then to why did you try to kill Ace D Portgas. What reason would you have for a student dying? Did his parents do something and you wanted revenge. Lucius was grateful he had the Minster in his pocket to hold her back.

"Mr. Quirrell why won't you take the truth potion it will clear you of all charges if you are innocent?"

"I wa... was.s.s t-t-to-ld not to t-t-ta-ke it."

Lucius walked foreword looking at Quirrell. "Will you tell the crowd why you did not take your wand with you?"

"I felt I s-s-sh-ould ju-ju-st leave it… I am just g-g-oing to a g-g-game and t-t-t-th-thought it be nice to leave. N-not to w-worry ab-about anything."

"Do you know why your wand was found on the pitch that day?"

"No..."

"How easy is it to get in your personal room where you left your wand?"

"Y-y-ou j-just need a p-p-pass-word."

Lucius turned to Albus Dumbledore "Sir doesn't Hogwarts always seem to have a group of panksters each year.."

"Objection."

"On what grounds?" Lucius asked looking at Madam Bones.

"Albus Dumbledore is not being questioned."

"Albus do you mind answering." Fudge asked.

"Yes we do. I Believe they where –"

"Thank you so much." He turned to Quirrell "So is it possible for a person to over hear you password. Then sneak in to prank you. Only to find your wand and think of a better prank."

Madman bones glared at him "Objection."

Fudge looked to Madman Bones "On what grounds."

"He is leading the –"

"Over ruled. He is not leading and just asking questions." Fudge said.

"Madam Umbridge please erase that off the record the objection please."

"Yes Minister." The toad like woman said.

"I-it is po-p-po-ssible." He said looking around.

"Now you are a defense teacher the spell used to control the broom is a powerful one am I right."

He nodded.

"Please speak so the book keeper will get it."

"Yes."

"Good… I am sorry but Ladies and Gentlemen this man does not seem strong. He is a good teacher. What is the saying those who can't teach. I hold all the professors at the highest standers. And by Mr. Quirrell's record. Yes he knows his stuff. Is good. But I don't think he is strong enough to control the top of the line model broom." He pulled out a paper "This here list all the spells used for this broom. This broom was used at the world cup. Because that way no one could mess with the players brooms. Other wise it would have ended up differently. I know many teams who would have put enough people to be casting spells."

He handed the paper off. "Now I am passing around evidence so you can see clearly my client could not get past these spells." He smirked looking at everyone.

"Not only this you can not prove he had the wand. The Auror had tested him and he no magical item on him. What if someone had snuck onto the grounds to kill this nameless boy Portgas? It could been used to try and distract the teachers and only fled when they found out the Ministry was there. Hogwarts has many items that could see on the black marker for a lot of money. The hat is just one of them. Yes his wand had the spell on it. But it was on the ground. Someone could have used there been somewhere else. Casted twenty different spells to clean the wand of the spell. And casted the spell they used to make it look like Quirrell did it. I do not believe this man let the troll in. He tried to warn the students and fled to the great hall to get Dumbledore to help him. I would trust this man to be teaching my son. My Heir… I do not believe that he is at fault. There is no hard proof here. Madam Bones is wasting time which she could have used to find the real person instead targeting a scared teacher. Who is only trying to better the youngest witches and wizards? You can not send this man away with no proof it is against our laws. Do what is right. There is no reason that any one would want to kill Mr. Portgas. He has no family was raised with muggles." He pulled up papers to see the family. "A Vernon Dursley and Petunia Dursley. His parents are said to died in a car accident. By his muggle school records when he entered." He passed them around. "So only person I could see wanting the boy dead be a muggleborn hater. And I do not see Quirrell hating muggleborns. If you look at Quirrell's papers his father is a muggleborn. Quirrell is a half-blood himself. I rest my case."

Vernon walked into the kitchen to see his Nephew the Potter brat sitting at the table while eating a sandwich and having a glass of water. "Hello Vernon." Ace stood up and bowed a slight bit. "I have come here with these papers-"

"OUT OF MY HOUSE YOU ARE NOT TO BE HERE TILL THIS SUMMER!" Screamed Vernon. He was turning different colors as he looked at Ace.

Ace blew up. His body turned to flames and walked towards the fat man. "Don't make me kill you Vernon. I am here to have you sign some papers so you never have to see me again." He calmed down he had no flames on him and looked at Vernon. "I won't be coming back."

"Where do I Sign?"

"Right here." He handed the papers over to Vernon.

Petunia was in the corridor of the door looking at everything going on.

"Aunt Petunia you need to sign this right here."

She walked forward and looked at him "You know we were good to you. You just became evil and horrible we couldn't handle it." Ace watched as she signed the papers.

Ace snatched the papers as they finished and he started to sign them as well. It took about twenty minutes to get everything signed. Once they where done he pulled out the extra paper for the Will to be read. "You know what I don't care your son beat me each day. I had enough of it when he cracked my skull." Ace stood up and looked at his Uncle.

The papers vanished and a box speared with a crest on it. Vernon saw Ace pulling out the ring and putting it on his hand. "I Ace D Portgas here by claim my rights as heir of the Portgas house hold. As Lord Portgas." The light flashed and the ring fit his hand.

Vernon was getting mad but heard Lord… "Wait you're a Potter?"

"Uncle I changed my name to Portgas last August. Also didn't Aunt Petunia tell you I was a lord…? That would have helped you with your standings." He smiled at his Uncle "Also do not agree to ever have me here. Or you will regret it. I need to get out of this place. Before I get sick from the horrible people." He took the box and left.

Leaving two horrible people in shock over what happen.

Petunia looked at Ace surprised by how he turned out. And then to Vernon who looked pissed and red. "He was a LORD!" Was what Ace heard as he boarded the Night Bus.

.0.o.0.

Albus Dumbledore smiled while filling the papers out for the votes he held. Only to see a couple of the papers vanished. Which would only happen if they claimed to be head of the house…. Which shouldn't happen. He looked around in shock and was surprised as he noticed the chair for the Potters glowing. Only it said Portgas.

Everyone in the room had just finished voting only Dumbledore was finishing his votes. Since he had a couple of households to vote for. They noticed one of the papers he was to vote for vanished and the Potter chair was glowing. Only for a flash of light to signal there was now a head of the Potter family. Which could only be Harry Potter…. They looked at the chair when everyone noticed it. The chair it didn't say Potter…. Which only meant that the Family name had been changed.

The person sitting near it went to go read the plaque to see who was the head of the house.

"Well who is it Wood?"

Asked Madam Longbottom knowing who it was. She only came when she heard what her Grandson said Mr. Portgas was filing to be an adult today and wanted to see the look on their faces. And to make sure Quirrell never be near her grandson.

"Ace D Portgas." He looked at Quirrell. Knowing Madam Bones was protecting Harry James Potter wanting him to be safe. She should have told him who he was.

Madam Bones was annoyed this would have been nice if it was brought to light during the trial. But something held up the head of the Hufflepuff house Madam Sprout. She would have had the free time tomorrow but today she just couldn't make it. She was to bring that in light. She knew all evidence pointed to Quirrell being guilty now. She just hoped not too many people where bribed.
