Chapter 13
Everyone looked sheepishly and mumbled a sorry.
Making the boy sight" It's fine but just so you know Mrs. Malfoy I am the heir to the Black fortune, not the Black family because I don't have the last name or the blood."
She did not look any happier" Why are you making such a big deal of a few galleons?" said Dean he was raised by muggles and did not understand how much gold was at stake other muggle-born and some half-blood nodded to.
"Because the Black family was and still is the richest family is the world magical or otherwise. When the time comes for the money to be inherited, I get every one of them because different from other families like the Longbottom's, The Bones, The Potters, and other rich families were the fortune is separated equally between children in the case of the Black fortune it goes to the oldest son no matter what. That's why Sirius still has the money, the house and everything else even if he was disowned."
"How much money are we talking about here," asked a Slytherin who knew that right now the Malfoys were the richest families in the wizarding world
"Let's do some math all right." he said making the younger students groan" Take the family fortune from every Slytherin family and multiply by ten and then add some of the other pureblood families from the other house and you get what you are looking for" when the young man was done everyone jaws were on the ground because every Slytherin was a pureblood and they were from some of the oldest families in the wizarding world making them had a lot of money and the other pureblood members of other houses were not less rich they just did not brag about it.
"But wait how did Mrs. Malfoy realize that you were the heir?" asked Ron
The boy just showed him his hand where a ring was. The ring was made of silver shaped like the Black family crest with black diamonds and emeralds." The ring is given to the heir in his eleventh birthday well except for dad who got it later. That the reason she knew the ring belonged to Uncle Sirius a few years ago."
"Yeah I hated wearing that thing," said Sirius and then continued" Go ahead and introduce yourself I think we are going into a different topic again."
"My name is James Sirius Potter. Is James Sirius not James, Jamie, Jay, JS or anything of these sorts only my dad calls me James and if any of you dares call me anything but James Sirius you would be in trouble." James Sirius stopped and allowed everyone to get over the shock.
Sirius and Remus were smirking Professor McGonagall turned to Harry and said: "Mr. Potter tell me please are you trying to destroy Hogwarts?"
"No of course professor," he said with an innocent smile making Ron and Hermione who knew the meaning of the name to laugh.
"Why did you say that Professor?" started Fred
"Yeah what's wrong with the boy's name." finished George
"Oh, she just meant that I am named after two of the Marauders actually two of the ones that made the most pranks." James Sirius said casually like he hadn't just reviled the identity of their idols" She actually send dad a howler when she learned my name saying something about dad wanting to destroy Hogwarts and that he was making me a trouble maker from the very beginning which I don't understand Minnie loves me I spent more time in her office than I do in my own dorm room. She even got us each a chair in her office. It makes me wonder why?"
Everyone laughed except for the teachers who were extremely shocked, pale and were openly glaring at Harry while the Weasley's twins were still sitting there with eyes as wide as dinner plates and mouths open.
It was starting to worry everyone" What's wrong with them?" asked Sirius
Roxanne said, "Well the Marauders are their idols I believe they have said once that the Marauders taught them more than the teachers ever could."
The teacher did not look happy but her words make Fred and George regain their conscience and they started bowing and saying phrases to the Marauders which made both of them look uncomfortable.
"Who are the Marauders?" asked Neville
"The Marauders were a group of troublemakers at Hogwarts who have found almost every hiding place in the school except for the Chamber of Secrets. They still are the most famous or should I say infamous students in school older teachers tell horror stories about them and younger teachers to hope to not have students like them."
"How are they compared to the Weasley Twins? "asked a seventh year Gryffindor a little afraid
"Well do you know the number of pranks they have done in their seven years at Hogwarts and the detentions they have gotten" everyone nodded" the Marauders have done double of those things in just one of their years at school." the others were shocked
"Anyway "the boy James Sirius continued" I am twenty-one years old the oldest son of Harry Potter and as we have already discussed I am the heir to the Black fortune and I was in Gryffindor during my time at school with my two best friends Fred and Louis. I was Perfect in my fifth year, a Head Boy in my seventh, and Chaser from my second year on warded I also became Quidditch captain in my third year and stayed in that positions until my graduation. The only grades I got were O and I also got twelve O.W.L.S and N.E.W.T.S each. I know ten different language five magical and five muggles and I volunteer in my free time at the shelter." Have I forgotten anything else" Ah yes, I am an Auror like dad? I think that's it."
When he finished the teachers breathed a sigh of relief' Maybe he is not a troublemaker like his namesakes.' they thought but it would be impossible he was too much like them from it to be true
"I think you have forgotten something James Sirius," said Louis
"What?" he gave him an innocent look
"You forgot to tell them that you are keeping the Marauder legacy alive," said Fred
"Well I thought that was obvious I was named after two Marauders my grandfather is one of them, and the other two are my great uncles. But if they need for me to say it, I am the leader of the new Marauders along with Fred who is my Padfoot" The twins smirked "and Louis who is Moony" the twins smirked even wider" and the three of us kept the Marauders legacy alive at school never broke any of their records through but we thought we did really good."
"Great we have to deal with another group of trouble maker like the last three were not enough," said McGonagall and the other teacher sighted
Anther girls moved forward she had red hair and light blue eyes that looked grey in a certain light" Hi my name is Aurora Potter I am the same age as James Sirius I was in Gryffindor and a Prefect and Head Girl."
"Y-you are my daughter?" Harry was shocked
The girl Aurora laughed and said" No" Harry breathed a sigh of relief" I am your daughter-in-law. James Sirius' wife to meet you."
"Your twenty-one aren't you a bit young," said Hermione
"My grandparents had a child by this time so no I don't think I am too young" was his answer" Anyhow Al your turn."
Another boy stepped forward this one was the carbon copy of Harry even had the same green eyes" My name is Albus Severus Potter and I was in Slytherin."
He said the things that he knew would make them angry first and like he expected everyone exploded that was until a yell of" SHUT UP EVERYONE." came from Sirius
"Is very nice to meet you Albus or do you prefer a shorter name or a longer name like your brother."
This shocked everyone even those from the future except for Remus" But Sirius you hate Snape and Slytherins."
Sirius shook his head" No I hate the fact that Slytherins turn into selfish bastards that think only for themselves as for Snape I don't hate him for the reason you think it's not about a silly school rivalry or because we had problems in school. I grew out of that when I was seventeen you know you can't fight in a war if you keep living in the past and keep a school grouch."
"Then why do you?" asked Ron
To their surprise it wasn't Sirius who answered but Scorpius" Because of his brother" at the questioning looks he continued" Uncle Sev and Uncle Regulus were friends at Hogwarts despite having a two years age difference and Uncle Regulus would do anything for him and everything he told him so Uncle Sirius believes that if he had told his brother to not join the Death Eaters he wouldn't be dead right now."
"Don't you think if I could I would do it Regulus was too kind-hearted to be a Death Eater and he definitely did not deserve to die but he wanted to make his parents proud and thought that by working for Voldemort he would do it" for the first time in a long time Severus Snape's voice was not emotionless" And besides you did not do a better job when it came to Potter Snr he too joined the Order at an extremely young age and you did not stop him."
Sirius just glared at the man while Harry asked both Sirius and Remus" So you don't mind the name by the way I've got a question for you?"
"Yes dad. "making Harry flinch at the name and Ron snigger
"Are you the same age as Malfoy Jr over there?" Pointing to Scorpius
"Well if you had allowed me to finish my introduction you would have your answer "almost everyone looked down in shame" but what I want to know is the answer to dad's first question."
"No, we don't mind we are sure that you have a reason and we trust your judgment" started Remus
"And as long as you don't turn into a self-absorbed git who thinks only for himself, we don't mind." finished Sirius
Everyone from the future breathed a sigh of relief they knew how much their opinion still means a lot to Harry even in the time when they have been dead for almost thirty years.
"Continue with your introduction Albus," said Ted
"Well as I said my name is Albus but I go by Al no offense to you professor" he said making the old professor chuckle" I am the second child and second son of Harry Potter I was in Slytherin and I am nineteen years old and I was Head Boy during my seventh year and became a Seeker in my second one while I was the Quidditch captain in my fifth year until my seventh. My best friend is Scorpius Malfoy and we have been friends since the first year along with one of my cousins."
"Really a Malfoy and a Potter being best friends I've never thought it possible," said Charlie
"Well twenty years ago no one would have thought a Black and a Potter being friends too and Sirius and James became the best of friends," said Remus
"I guess you're right."
"Well this nephew of mine is a lot better than any other Malfoy I have met but now I have an extremely big problem" he paused for dramatic effect" Which one of my two nephews will be my favorite I mean choosing between their parents was easy Tonks is my favorite but they are really great both of them. "everyone laughed
"You can have both of them as your favorite you know right," said Harry laughing
While everyone was laughing the Malfoys were not happy but they kept their mouths shut.
"Does Harry have another child?" asked Hermione
This time a red-haired girl with red hair and brown eyes without any freckles she was not a Weasley because her red hair was lighter auburn even. She was beautiful similar to Molly in a simple way" Well I am not his daughter my name is Kaitlyn and I am Albus fiancé I am a muggle-born and was in Gryffindor. The next one after me is Harry's daughter."
Another red-haired girl moved forward she was younger than all the other still in school and in Gryffindor if her uniform was any indication. She was beautiful with dark red hair and warm brown eyes with her body covered in freckles. The little girl was shorter than Lucy most thought they were the same age or a bit younger.
"My name is Lily Luna Potter and I was named after my grandmother Lily while my second name has two meanings I was named after my godmother Luna and after Uncle Remus, because his school nickname is Moony. I am the third child and the only girl of Harry Potter I was in Gryffindor with Lucy in school I became a Seeker and during my fifth year, I was a Perfect. When I grow up, I want to be a Quidditch Player for the Holyhead Harpies like my mom."
"Who is your mom?" asked Ginny a bit jealous
"Well look at my sisters'-in-law and tell me who my mother is, "said Lily
When she said this Sirius and Remus laughed" What?" asked Harry and everyone were curious
"The Potter curse," said the two together and the future children laughed
While Ron and Hermione looked worried so James Sirius said: " Is nothing to worry about it's just a joke that everyone says that every Potter man marries a red-haired woman."
"Is it true? " asked Harry
"Well, every Potter man since the beginning of the family have married red-haired girls but I am sure it's a coincidence."
"So, Harry married a red-haired woman," said Hermione deep in thought" Ginny."
"Huh," said both Harry and Ron
"Harry married Ginny, right? She is your mother," she said and the three Potters nodded
"YOU MARRIED OUR SISTER," yelled every Weasley brother while Ginny and Harry blushed but after thinking for a while they said," Well I guess better you than anyone else."
