A/N Thanks for your reviews and support, everyone. I have set up a server for anyone who wishes to talk to me. It's for all my fandoms not just my hero academia or Harry Potter. Come hang out with us. /R2Esj9w

mizzrazz72: thanks for your review, my friend. Yeah, Reisi had better be honest with Harry if he wants the goodwill to continue.

gindensmi: thanks for your review, my friend. I'm so glad you enjoy it! I will keep pushing out ideas as they have them.

WhiteElfElder: thanks for your review, my friend. Yeah, it's very much a minefield of emotions. One wrong move could ruin any and all trust that was built.

.3: thanks for your review, my friend. A lot can happen. A turning point is coming. What path will they go down? Who will stand beside them? Many questions very little answers.

Harrison's POV

"What are your plans now?" Questioned the younger.

Reisi replied with a shrug of his shoulders, "That is up to you. I would like us to have continued communications at the very least but at this point, it's obvious forcing you to do anything will only alienate you further. I don't want to push you any further away so I leave this up to you."

The words interestingly enough rang true to the young wizard. Though he wasnt sure what he wanted. All of his life he wanted a family. People to care for him just for being himself. Not for being what they expected him to be.

His father was obviously trying to make up for his previous mistakes and extend a hand to him. The question was whether or not he would extend his own hand back. Did he want to take the chance on being let down again? Or would he back away and go back into hiding?

Looking up so that he met his father's gaze he tried to judge the man's soul. Despite it being pained he honestly did want to be better. What did he want? His clansman wouldn't be happy about him meeting with his father. If it kept SCEPTER4 off their backs though it would be worth it. He would have to be smart about it though. No more meetings in the man's compound. Instead, choose a neutral ground that neither had ties to.

"Once a week."

His father blinked at him uncomprehending as he choked out, "Excuse me?"

Harrison blushed as he tried again, "I'll agree to meet you once a week on neutral grounds. A place controller by neither your people nor mine."

Blue eyes softened as his father said, "I can agree to that. There are plenty of neutral zones that belong to no clan. We can use those."

Shakily Harrison nodded. He couldn't believe that his father agreed so readily. Maybe he was tired of fighting just as Harrison was.

After working out when and where they would meet in a week's time he left. Eyes on his back the whole time right up until he disappeared into the crowd of people. Maybe things would work out for him.

Crouch's POV

It had taken months for him to gain a respectable weight. His time in Hogwarts had helped with his weight but not his malnutrition. It was only after two months under a healer's care that he was allowed to venture from his Lord's manor.

The world as a whole believed him well and truly dead. First saved by his father for his mother who truly loved him. This time by the Dark Lord who would not see his most faithful a husk of a body without a soul. It had been a muggle who received the kiss.

Now he stood before his Lord with Nott to his right. Benjamin stood relaxed to his own stiff posture. Barty had heard that his Lord was sane again but memories of the last war plagued him. Until he saw it for himself he would be cautious in his approach.

His Lord began calmly meeting Barty's eyes, "I have a mission for you both. Barty, you told me you set up a repore with Potter. I want you to use that and see if he can be persuaded into a neutral position. It has been revealed that he is not a Potter by birth. Lily Potter cheated on her husband and his true father is a prominent figure in Japan. Who I am not sure of yet. Your repore with him and Benjamin's lack of one should at least get a meeting."

Barty replied, "My lord I'm not so sure he would be willing to meet with me. Our repore was based on me being Moody. Since I betrayed him I highly doubt he would want anything to do with me."

It was true. Potter had spent a lot of time in his office over the school year. They had bonded over a shared abusive past. It was something that he and everyone else ignored in the beginning. Right up until the signs couldn't be ignored any longer. A few weeks into their meetings he helped Harry create a Grimoire. The boy had a talent for spell crafting. Something that wasnt seen very often. The talent came particularly in magic circles rather than a spell cast from a wand.

Spells using circles rather than a wand required longer incantations and a different focus. It was something of a Lost Art. There were only a handful of wizards who could use it in this day and age. Barty knew of one out in the East that he put the kid into contact with. The improvement of the kid's spell casting was tremendous. Though he could only show it inside Barty's office and rooms.

Once taught it was obvious the kid had a talent with Runes and Arithmancy. It only took a few lessons for Harry to pick it up.

His Lord said with narrowed eyes, "Out of everyone within the Dark Sect you are the most likely one to get him to listen. Even Severus has more bad blood between them than you. If he refuses to talk to you then Benjamin can take over from there."

It seemed he didnt have much of a choice in this. A demand by his Lord was not something that could be brushed aside.

So he conceded with a bow of his head, "Yes my lord."
