I own nothing
I stumbled back out of an arch into a black haired man as a sickly green light shot over me. I groaned from my fall as I sat up and looked around at all of the people around me with open mouths. There were a group of people that included teens fighting uniform black cloaked/dressed people. All of them were holding sticks that put my senses on edge. I looked between the black haired man I stumbled into and the almost white haired blond with a sneer.
"Ok, what are the chances I can walk out without fighting in whatever the Hades is happening here?"
"AVADA KADAVRA!" Was screeched from a second story I didn't even realize was there. Seeing a green light that turned my stomach I rolled backwards to dodge before pushing off and landing on my feet and glaring at the woman. I glanced to the black haired man that now had wide eyes.
"Guess I am on your side." I looked back before waving my hand and pulling as much water from the air as I could hardening it into an ice sword. A man in a mask began to move what I now recognized as a wand like the Hecate campers and I ran after him quickly. I slid on a layer of water before coming up and cutting off his hand with my sword and punching him off the ledge with a fist. I spun as another beastly looking person sent three spells at me. A yellow, red, and blue spell all went past my body as I dodged and ran at him next. At ten feet away I threw my sword like a frizbee and cut him off at the knees as I summoned water to make a shield. The remaining three, besides the woman who had taken off, began to concentrate fire on my shield before the remaining from 'my side' took them out with purple spells.
I stood up as the spells stopped and looked to the three adults looking to me with wands in their hands as a scarred man held all the kids back with his wand arm tensed with veins showing from the tightness of his hold. He was ready to protect them. I dropped the shield and laid on my back, looking at the ceiling.
"How many enemies did I just make by taking them out?" A heavily scarred man with a huge eyeball chuckled.
"Dozens boy, but you now have thousands of allies." I nodded.
"Ok, so what happens now?" He smirked.
"Tonks! Stun him and bring him to headquarters. Lupin, the children to the school. Quickly before the minister panics and acts like a child again." I laughed.
"I guess there is one of those in every universe." A purple haired woman came up to me with a sigh.
"Sorry." I shrugged.
"Least you guys are trying to protect the next generation. Those ones seamed to be trying to take them out." She sighed and nodded before the one who gave the orders barked and a purple spell hit me. I had just enough time to glare before darkness claimed me.
Time Skip
I woke up on a couch surrounded by over a dozen people, including those that were by the arch. I glared at the Big Eye.
"Next time let the girl do it. She is cuter than you." There was laughter as the redhead next to him smirk and changed to purple haired. I blushed and looked to the ceiling.
"Kill me now, that is embarrassing." Everyone laughed before the black haired one I stumbled into pushed forward and hugged me as I was wide eyed looking past him.
"You saved my life, and my trial is now being looked into. Thank you." I blinked a few times as he pulled back.
"Just to be clear, what were you convicted of?" He smiled.
"I never got a trial. I was framed and sent strait to prison before I escaped." I nodded.
"Ok good so I didn't help a bad guy. Now since you are magical or whatever, can you all explain to me what is happening, because the last thing I remember before the weird arch thing is being thrown into the Gods' thrones by my grandfather saying he was sending me somewhere else." I felt a pressure on my mind, but ignored it. A throat cleared as a man who looked like a bat stepped forward.
"Who is your grandfather and what do you mean by god?" I blinked and frowned.
"Kronos, the titan of time. I was trying to stop him destroying Olympus and the Gods' seat of power. Otherwise the mortals would have died next." Everyone was silent.
"How can you fight a titan?"
"You all aren't children of Hecate are you? If I said I was a son of Poseidon you would be surprised huh?" The looks confirmed it for me.
"How old are you?"
"16." I blinked at the answers coming out without me wanting them too.
"Why do you look at least 20?"
"I don't know."
"You said mortals, do you not like the mundane?"
"I wish I was mundane, everything..." I shook my head.
"Why the Hades can't I stop myself from answering?" I swirled my hand in the air collecting the water from it as all their wands came out before I drank the water quickly. Instantly I felt my stomach convulse before I vomited all over the floor in front of me. I shook my head as a man swished his wand and it disappeared. I took a deep breath.
"My name is stupid, my skin is blue and I have no teeth." I smiled as I sat back up with a deep sigh.
"Who decided to give me a truth potion with a compulsion to answer as well?" All eyes looked behind me as I slowly turned and saw an old man with a twinkling smile and long white hair and beard.
"I am very impressed my boy. I am afraid however that it was needed to see if you were dangerous." He looked past me.
"Severus, did he pass your scan as well?" The bat nodded.
"Yes he did. The fight replayed in his mind as well. It was quite impressive." I blinked and shook my head before standing up.
"Forget it, I will find my own way." The black haired man stopped me.
"I owe you my life. You have my word, you are welcome in this house. I am Sirius Black." I sighed and shook his hand. The one who was guarding the kids at the arch stepped up next.
"Remus, Lupin." I shook his hand before I jumped back and shook my head.
"Sorry, just got a sense you were dangerous. I am sure it will dissipate soon." I shook his hand again with a smile as he narrowed his eyes, but nodded as well.
I went around the room being introduced to everyone before a heavy set red headed woman, Molly, I think, pushed me into the kitchen talking about how I was too skinny and such. The white wizard, Dumbledore as he introduced himself, sat down next to me as food was put on my plate.
"Percy, I am afraid that the Gods are considered myth here, although many believe Hecate blessed Merlin himself." I nodded.
"In my dimension, he was her son." He blinked a few times before smiling.
"Amazing, however back to what I was saying." (I am not going to type out an explanation worthy of the headmaster so insert a history of the Wizarding world and Harry Potter.)
I blinked before I shut my eyes and shook my head.
"Can I try going back through that arch thing? It might be easier." There was a lot of laughter at that point. The Scarred one, Moody, spoke.
"That is damn near impossible boy. It is guarded tighter than a vault at the bank. Only trying to set up Harry gave the chance for us to end up there." I sighed, but nodded.
"Ok, so we kill the death eaters and Voldemort and the war is done right?" Dumbledore sighed.
"My boy, they deserve a second chance." I cut him off.
"They lured teens to a forbidden place to get something and murder them. I do not promise I will leave them alive." He sighed as I continued.
"I help you all end the war you help me find another portal, maybe I can get back to my dimension. Deal?" Everyone looked to Dumbledore except Sirius Black who held out a hand.
"I already said you saved my life. I will help you no matter what the rest decide." I shook his hand before the old wizard put his on top of both of ours.
"I would prefer less bloodshed, however I fear, without your help, how many around this table would be left at the conclusion." I nodded solemnly and stood up to stretch.
"What do we do first?" The old wizard smirked.
"First, we see your proficiency in magic." I gave him a look.
"I don't have magic, I am a demigod and control water." He nodded.
"A son of Poseidon correct?" I nodded as he withdrew an old wand from his robes with a sad smile.
"This belonged to someone close to me. When I came here to speak with you I brought this, do to the core and connection you have to your father. It should tell us if you have any magical potential." I shrugged and took the wand. The second I touched the wand I fell to the ground as I lost control of my powers. I let go of the wand and it dissipated. Looking around I saw the table and chairs all shattered and several people standing up slowly. The older wizard flashed blue before he took a step forward and retrieved the wand from the ground with a smile.
"I do believe it has been confirmed you can use magic. Remus will train you once we get you a wand at Diagon Alley." I looked to the man who smiled and nodded. I sighed.
"Ok, that's fair I guess. Any chance you have books in Ancient Greek, cause if not, I don't know if I can read anything." He smiled.
"The Roman version of your father is Neptune. I am sure you can learn Latin easily." I rolled my eyes.
"Sure I can't just go back through the arch now?" He frowned.
"The guards will be back in place and the ministry is on alert. So I am afraid not." I nodded. Remus put a hand on my shoulder.
"It is late, perhaps you should go to sleep for the night." I rolled my eyes.
"Code for leave so we can all talk about you. Yeah sure, which room is mine?"
"Second floor, third door on the right. It has a connected bathroom." Sirius came back with a smile immediately. I nodded.
"Thank you for the room, and thank you, Molly, for the food. It was good." I left the room without a care in the world, well this one. My old world was worrying me.
Time Skip
The next day I was next to Remus with a large smile on my face. He was bringing me to Diagon Alley to get my wand and such. Walking into Olivander's I frowned at the dusty place with small boxes stacked to the sky.
"A demigod? After all this time?" A man came out from behind a shelf as an old man who instantly began to change into someone appearing as a teen. His smile was enormous.
"I am sworn to assist all demigods in exchange for Hera giving me immortality." I smiled.
"Does that mean you can help me to get back to my dimension?" He frowned.
"Sorry young godling, but the divine left this universe over a millennium ago. Hera used to visit, but I have not seen her in centuries." I took a breath and nodded.
"Thank you for the information." He nodded and stood.
"Shall I get you a wand my Lord?" I smiled.
"Please." I turned to Remus who was frozen in time.
"Fear not My Lord, simply a spell. Thanos has deities in all dimensions and if I am discovered by some I would be hunted for information on the Deathly Hollows." I shook my head.
"Understandable, but he has the money for my wand." Suddenly Remus spoke.
"Percy, try to remember that the wand chooses… Hello Ollivander." I turned back and saw the old man.
"Mr. Lupin, yes Hello, however this Demigod here has no need for that. I shall give the son of Poseidon the correct wand easily." I blinked having never told him my father. He went behind the counter and I heard him muttering the names of gods before saying Poseidon and taking out a sea green box with a trident on it.
"8 Galleons Mr. Lupin." Remus nodded in shock and stepped up, handing over the money. I was given the box before I opened it and was in shock. It was the most boring wand I had ever seen. Ollivander smiled.
"Take it out of the box sea spawn. It has interesting properties." I picked it up before it glowed a deep blue and changed into a wand with the texture of coral, sea green as a base color, and a gold trident on the handle. The tip half was now engraved with the Greek symbols for 'Bane of Kronos' I shook my head. Blinking back tears at the connection I thought I lost when I lost Riptide I looked to him. He waved his hand and Remus froze.
"It was made with your father's Ichor as a core, only you will be able to wield it, or any of your descendants." I nodded before he waved his hand again.
"I have never seen a wand like that before."
"You would never have the power to wield it Mr. Lupin." Remus nodded before leading me out of the shop. He handed me a wrist holster before he smiled at me. I felt complete for the first time since I arrived.
Line Break
"Why can't I get a pet?" I asked as I was weighed down with dozens of books, and a trunk. Remus chuckled from behind his pile.
"Because by your own admission you breath underwater, they don't sell pets that could be with you." I sighed a I rolled my eyes but excepted it.
"Ok, fine, but why cant we put the books in the trunk, then have you levitate it?" He stopped before shaking his head.
"I should have thought of that." He said before turning to me with a smile. I dropped the trunk before kicking it open and putting the books into it as he did the same. A few swishes of his wand and it was now the size of a Matchbox. I picked it up with a smirk and put it in my pocket.
"That is so much easier. Now why do I need to learn potions? I am here to fight, not educate myself." He smirked as he shook his head.
"Harry still has to go to school, Dumbledore wants you there next year to help keep him safe." I rolled my eyes.
"And I have to pass because?" He chuckled.
"He is a headmaster and wants his students to pass. I would say just go with it." I rolled my eyes but nodded.
"So, how is Harry protected during the summer?" He sighed.
"There are blood wards around his home. They don't protect him from his relatives, but it stops anyone who wishes to do him harm from finding him." I narrowed my eyes.
"I will be sleeping there then. You sound like you don't like his relatives." He shook his head.
"The started to treat him better after we threatened them a few years ago. But Dumbledore..." I laughed, cutting him off.
"Can't stop me." He smirked.
"You won't get any argument from Sirius or I." I nodded before I had a thought.
"You were a teacher before, weren't you?" He chuckled.
"A few years ago, why?" I smiled.
"Your grammar, sounds like my step-father who was an English teacher. Everything is precise instead of conversational." He laughed a full belly laugh for the first time since I met him.
"I will take that as a compliment." I stopped walking as we passed a large white building that reminded me of the temples on Olympus.
"What is that place?" He took a breath.
"Gringotts the wizard bank. It is run by goblins. I got the money from Dumbledore so I didn't need to get any from in there." I turned to him with a smile after noticing a pair of armored guards.
"So we are in a war, have you tried to make allies with them?" He shook his head.
"No, they are always neutral in wizard affairs." I frowned.
"Then why do those guards seem itching for a fight?"
"There have been several Goblin rebellions against wizards. After they lost the last one we had them become bankers and live under the bank." I stared at him with a frown.
"Minotaur Shit." He gave me a look.
"You expect me to believe, even with me not being the smartest, that you gave the looser control of all your money?" He thought for a second before frowning. I shook my head and walked up the stairs and into the bank.
Looking around I spotted a bored looking Goblin at a podium spinning a quill between his fingers like I used to with Riptide. I stepped up to him.
"I can make your day 10 times more interesting if you talk to me in private." He stopped and glared at me.
"Watch yourself wizard, that is a brave claim from someone who doesn't control their own money." I chuckled.
"Your talking a little above your station for someone sitting at a podium don't you think?" He glared at me before taking out an axe from nowhere and jumping at me as I smirked. I sidestepped his bisecting swipe and kicked the blade to the side before I heard armored feet running and goblins formed a wall around us and began to push the customers out of the bank. The little bugger used the momentum I gave the axe and spun a 360 going for my legs before I jumped over it and backwards. When he tried another downward slash I rolled my eyes before grabbing the shaft of the axe and ripping it from his hands, spinning it around myself and hitting him in the side with the side of the axe sending him into the podium as he dented it. He glared at me before taking a sword from the podium and jumping at me again. I prepared my block before a loud voice rang out.
"SHEATH YOUR WEAPONS!" I frowned as a gold armored goblin walked into the lobby.
"Sorry Sir, but I don't have a sheath as this is his axe." I said before laying it on the ground as the angry goblin smirked and began to laugh.
"Bring him to my office, we will be having a conversation." I felt a spear in my back as I rolled my eyes. I glanced to a smirking enemy.
"Told you I could make it interesting." The snicker and nod came as I chuckled.
Line break
I was laying across an armchair, for what felt like hours, before the golden armored goblin walked in with 6 guards who immediately surrounded me with weapons at the ready. I sighed and sat normal.
"What are the chances I could spar with your guards? It has been a bit since I have had some real fun." I said with a small smirk. The golden goblin smirked devilishly.
"You are very interesting, Demigod." I smiled.
"I will take that as a compliment. Much better than people who somehow believe the looser of a war now has complete control of their currency. I am no child of Athena, but come on." Immediately the goblin burst into laughter as the guards sheathed their weapons and gave me some space. My smile was getting bigger by the second.
"Unfortunately sea spawn, the history teacher has a grudge against us and has been teaching for centuries. Therefor the truth is buried unless someone wishes to check." I nodded.
"I guess that makes sense, although isn't there a saying, something about learning history so it doesn't happen again?" The goblin laughed.
"Yes, those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it." I smiled.
"That actually plays well into why I came here in the first place. The war against Voldemort." He growled at me.
"We have a treaty with the wizards signed in blood from the Goblin king of that time. We must remain neutral in the affairs of wizards unless they violate the rules of their vaults, or the laws of magic." I nodded with a sigh.
"My name is Percy Jackson. Pleased to meet you, your highness." His grin was predatory.
"Yes, it was eventful if nothing else." I leaned back for a second.
"Are you able to answer questions if asked?" He smiled.
"Only if the right questions are asked or if the contracts are void against the individual." I nodded.
"How did Tom Riddle come back from a shade? He should have been a ghost, or crossed over." He sat back and thought for a moment.
"So you can confirm, Demigod, that Tom Riddle is Voldemort?" I nodded, hoping Dumbledore was right. He nodded.
"We have been attempting to confirm this, however he has not been in the bank since he took the new name." I nodded with a smirk.
"How do I phrase this?" I said before sitting there for a moment. Finally I cleared my throat.
"Your highness, I wish to apologize, however I believe a wizard has gone against the laws of magic. I would respectfully ask that you investigate the wizard known as Tom Riddle. I can give you..." I stood up and pulled the money Remus gave me at the bookstore from my pocket. I had 3 gold coins, 34 silver and 2 bronze.
"3 Galleons, 34 sickles, and 2 knuts as a down payment. Should the laws not be broken I shall pay for your time with interest." The laughter began three seconds after I finished. Finally he narrowed his eyes at me.
"Demigod, when did you arrive on this plane that you don't know how to count our money?" I frowned with a sigh.
"5 days ago." He nodded.
"You have more than a Galleons worth in sickles. However the inquiry was spoken correctly and within our power. Where shall we send the information, and reward if we find anything in the bank?" I smiled.
"12 Gri..." I entered a coughing fit before I shook my head.
"12..." I entered another before I sat there.
"Is this the secret keeper thing Sirius Black mentioned?" The goblin frowned, but nodded.
"Yes it is. I will not have a message sent threw someone else. Therefore I will notify Dumbledore about the need for you to come should it arrive. You will need to pick up your inquiry in person." I nodded.
"I will be honest I am already further than I thought I would get. That small inconvenience is worth it to have your assistance." He bowed and smiled to me.
"It is nice to talk to someone strait forward." He stepped forward and offered a hand.
"Let us know if you need anything else." I nodded and shook the hand offered.
"Same to you your highness. I am more than willing to help fellow warriors." His toothy grin was infectious.
"We shall meet again soon Demigod." I nodded before I was lead out by a guard.
I walked down the steps into Diagon Alley as a crowd stared at me. I growled.
"Don't look at me you bunch of losers!" They scattered revealing a worried looking Remus who met me at the bottom.
"Are you ok, what happened? I told you to be careful." I smirked at him.
"I might have gotten us an army?" He went wide eyed before he grabbed my arm and we dissipated with a crack. Stumbling in the living room I shook my head.
"Ok I have my wand, that is the first thing I want to learn. Maybe teleporting myself would stop the sick feeling I keep getting." Remus chuckled for a second before sitting down.
"You might have gotten us an army?" I nodded and sat.
"I was right, they won the last rebellion and took control of the currency. There was a treaty and such which is why they are always neutral. I bought an inquiry into the breaking of said treaty by Tommy boy. If it comes out the way I hope, they will be declaring war on him for breaking the laws of magic." He stared at me with wide eyes for a while before a clearing throat from behind me rang out.
"Well that will turn the Wizarding world on it's head." I turned to see a clearly shocked Sirius Black. I nodded.
"Well I came from a different dimension, are you really surprised I am doing strange things?" He shook his head.
"I keep forgetting, but your not wrong." I took a deep breath.
"Word will come through Dumbledore if I need to pick up information. I gagged as I tried to tell him where to send it." I said giving him a look. He nodded sheepishly.
"Yeah that would be the fedilious." I sighed.
"It's annoying. Do me a favor and let the flaming pigeon brigade know about the update. Remus lets start the lessons I want to get this going before I move out."
"Wait why are you moving out?" Sirius asked from the corner. Remus finally snapped out of it.
"Right, tell the Phoenix. Sirius… Percy did you say?" I chuckled.
"Flaming Chicken." The three of us laughed hysterically. Finally Sirius shook his head.
"Moving out?" I nodded.
"I heard about the creatures Harry lives with. I am moving in to make sure he is fine." Remus smiled as Sirius dropped to his knees as tears littered his eyes.
"Anything you need is yours for the taking. Your keeping my Godson..." He began to sob as Remus embraced him on the floor.
"I know Sirius. It wasn't your fault."
"I could have escaped earlier." He said in between sobs. I thought for a moment.
"Then help me stay close." They looked to me.
"As an animagus I can stay next to him everywhere without drawing attention." He looked to Remus.
"My notes are in my room." Remus sighed and stood.
"He will need a good foundation. Let me get him to at least third year." Sirius stood and grabbed me in a tight hug.
"Every time I think your awesome, you prove me right." He jumped as he turned strait to a dog and ran up the stairs. I turned Remus.
"How long will that take me?" He chuckled.
"Lets see how your dyslexia works with the Latin books." I sighed at the head ache I knew I was going to get.
"Lets start now then."
Time Skip
I was banging my head on the table as Remus laughed at me. We had started our lessons last week and sure enough, like the headmaster had suggested, Latin was a language I could read without a problem and speaking it was coming quickly as well. The problem was coming from the potion I just drank. Sirius however was chuckling.
"It isn't a bad form you know." I glared at him.
"The goal was to blend in with Harry." He chuckled.
"Not useful for that, but still useful." I glared at the man. Remus smirked.
"Percy, Pegasus are amazing creatures, even if you can't blend in well." I sighed and nodded.
"I had a best friend who was a black one in my last dimension. I just don't see how this could benefit me here." He smiled.
"You do not have to pursue the change now that you know. That is why the potion is beneficial." I rolled my eyes.
"I can turn into a fuckin Pegasus, I do need to pursue it." Sirius burst out laughing.
"He has a point Moony." I shook my head and pulled out my year six defense book.
"I will work on that later, shall we start chapter three. You are after all introducing me as a seventh year and I have my owls at the ministry tomorrow." Remus smiled as Sirius rolled his eyes.
"Between Remus, Hermione, and now you I am surrounded by bookworms." I smirked.
"Hey for the first time in my life I have a language I can read. I am excited, not a book worm." He waved his hand.
"Whatever you say." Remus shook his head with a smirk and turned to me.
"Ok, so this spell is used..." Remus really is a good teacher, and very patient, I thought with a smile as he reminded me of Paul.
Time Skip
I was rubbing my head as I left the ministry testing rooms. I had been in there every day for the last week. After the first 2 days they insisted my teacher was excellent and I be tested for my newts as well. They were actually impressed I was taking the test in Latin and readily gave it as such. Old people will always confuse me.
"How did it go?" I heard before my head snapped up. I saw a strait faced Dumbledore standing there.
"My head hurts, I got my license though so I was going to teleport home. Why are you here?" He sighed.
"Two days ago I received a missive from the goblins asking me to bring you in. Today I received a howler demanding it." I glared.
"I tried to get you allies, and you blow them off. What the fuck?" He flinched before sighing deeply as we began to walk away.
"I had thought that your education should take..."
"My education is fake!" I yelled causing people to look at me weird.
"I am here to help kill Tom then your sending me back through the portal, remember?" He took a deep breath.
"I apologize, I should have consulted you first." I sighed and nodded as we reached the point where I could teleport.
"When does Harry get off the train?" I asked before I dissipated with a loud crack and continued walking down the Alley. I heard a soft crack before he answered.
"Tonight at precisely 6pm." I nodded as I passed the almost empty shops.
"I will arrive tomorrow. I am going to pick up a Wizarding tent to pitch in his old bedroom." He nodded.
"I still feel there is..."
"His old bedroom was the fuckin closet under the stairs. Unless your saying he is moving in with Sirius then the conversation is over." He took a ragged breath before he nodded.
"Very well. I have prepared a list of useful household spells, for if I failed to convince you." I took the list and rolled my eyes.
"Only the spells are in Latin Headmaster. Your lucky the spells tell enough about the effects." He shook his head.
"I apologize again Percy, however this time I will blame my old age for the lack of forethought." I laughed.
"Don't worry about it headmaster, I live with Sirius and Remus teaches me, and they still forget." He chuckled.
"Very well Percy. How is your Animagus transformation coming?" I sighed.
"I only have the wings left to form. I registered myself as a horse in between tests. I can claim the wings were a shock to me later." He nodded with a smirk.
"I am very interested in where you will be sorted for sure." I rolled my eyes.
"Is that really needed for a single year" He nodded.
"Delightfully yes it is." I rolled my eyes as we got to the bank.
"Whatever." He chuckled as I climbed the steps and went into the line near the podium.
I smirked when the Goblin from before walked by.
"Want me to spice up the day again?" I asked as he froze and looked to me with a predatory grin.
"Ah, so the white one finally brought you here. Come with me for your meeting, warrior." I nodded and began to follow.
"Him alone Dumbledore." The headmaster seamed offended until I chuckled.
"See you at the house." I said before following the goblin down the tunnels. Once we broke the view of the main area he burst into laughter.
"He has his paws in everything and still wants more." I shrugged.
"Least he seams to try to help, unlike the damn ministry." He nodded.
"That is true Demigod, very true. Did he tell you why you are here?" I shook my head.
"Just that I was summoned two days ago and he ignored it so I could take pointless tests." He nodded.
"Your inquiry has come back." I stopped walking and took a deep breath.
"I might need him then, I have no money to pay should it have been..." He burst into laughter once again and continued down the tunnel. He then took on a stern expression.
"You won't need any extra money." He said with more venom than when he attacked me. I gulped and followed.
Line break
I had been lead to a room and told to wait, almost thirty minutes ago. Now I jumped as the door banged open and the golden armored Goblin from before came in with his guards and my goblin nemesis. I bowed.
"Your highness." He chuckled.
"Rise Demigod, you have done us a service." He took a seat in a large chair and sighed.
"During our investigation we found not one, but three Horocrux belonging to TOM RIDDLE!" He yelled the end as I blinked.
"I am sorry your highness, but I don't know what that is." He grinned evilly.
"Let me educate you then. The one who wants to make one ritually murders an innocent sentient to split their soul. They then take half of that soul and install it into an object." I was going pale.
"Until the anchor is destroyed they can not pass on." I turned and puked onto the floor. A guard vanished it as I stood back up and shook my head.
"That is disgusting, and I am not talking about my breakfast returning." The king grunted.
"Agreed, it is a violation of magic herself." I nodded and sat back into my chair.
"What now your highness?" I asked as he nodded to a guard who handed me a folder. I opened it before sighing.
"I can't read this." He chuckled and snapped his fingers as the writing changed to Latin. My eyes went wide.
"How do I have this much money? I gave you barely 3… no 4 galleons." The king laughed evilly.
"As the one to buy the inquiry you get 90% of the spoils we seize. We found one of the items in the Lestrange vault." I blinked.
"Lestrange, as in Sirius's cousin Bellatrix Lestrange?" The laughter was very loud at this point.
"Correct godling. Even with us taking our ten percent you now have one of the largest vaults in Magical Britain. Now you need to choose an account manager. And give us any information on the one who would violate Magic's laws." I nodded.
"What about the one who tried to murder me last time I was here? Why is he here?" He turned to the goblin.
"Griphook is to be promoted to investigator for knowing you were not a normal wizard, and bringing your business as well." I smiled.
"Would Griphook like to be my account Manager?" The king grinned and turned to the wide eyed goblin behind him.
"That would be quite the jump if he would except it. Also much more profitable for him, if he does his job right." I chuckled.
"Griphook, what do you say? Wanna be in charge of a bunch of money I don't even count correctly?" The king and guards instantly began to laugh as Griphook looked confused before shaking his head.
"I would love to except the position." I nodded and tossed the folder to him.
"Take double the normal compensation for whatever you make. Mostly because it was free money for me anyway." I said with a chuckle as the king smiled.
"You will give him 20% of all interest and earnings based on his selling and buying of stocks?" I blinked.
"Sure?" Everyone laughed as I smiled and the shocked Goblin was dismissed. The King turned to me now.
"Your information on Riddle please?" I nodded and took a breath.
"Lets see, according to the order..."
Time Skip
I teleported into the living room of headquarters and heard mumbling stop before Moody came around the corner with his wand drawn.
"Prove it's you boy?" I rolled my eyes and turned into a Pegasus as I trotted into the meeting with him nodding as I passed. I switched back and glared at Dumbledore.
"You knew didn't you?" He blinked in surprise.
"What do you mean my boy?" I took a deep breath to not snap at him, the entire order remaining silent for once.
"I walked into that meeting blind. Only to find out that you knew Tom made Horocrux." Sirius paled along with Bill Weasley. Moody, took a long sip from his flask and Remus growled. The rest seamed to be very confused. I pulled out a folder and tossed it to Sirius.
"See if I own anything you want back for the house of Black." I turned back to the Pale headmaster.
"They found three of them. One of them were in the vault of Bellatrix Lestrange. Now I am rich. Tell them headmaster, tell them about how FUCKED GINNY WOULD HAVE BEEN! HARRY ALREADY DESTROYED ONE OF THOSE FUCKING THINGS IN SECOND YEAR!" The red heads all turned to the headmaster who was beginning to look every year old he was. Fred and George suddenly appeared behind me with a crack.
"What"
"Is" I held up a finger stopping them.
"Your of age, but I am having it out with the headmaster right now. Shut the hell up and ask your brother later. He seams to know if how pale he went was any indication." Bill nodded with a deep frown.
"Percy, this is not information..."
"Fuck it isn't!" He looked to me in shock.
"I lead an army." The twins gasped having not been there in the beginning when I explained months ago.
"In war you need to share all information with everyone, except about troop movements. For example because the goblins know they are currently cleaning up a cleansing room to remove the taint from any objects we don't simply want to destroy." He shook his head.
"My boy that is impossible." Bill stood up as I held out my hand to stop him. I pulled the cup of Hufflepuff out of my enchanted pocket and tossed it to him.
"That was what it was on in my new vault. Wanna try again." He picked up the cup and stared at it with his mouth wide open. I turned to the rest who were all meeting my gaze.
"They gave me a devise that vibrates the closer you get to the magical signature of Voldemort. That is how they are currently tracking them down. Based on the size of soul left in the ones they found we are looking at 5. I may not be your leader, but I want to put this..." I took out the enchanted compass only to notice it vibrating almost out of my hand. I dropped it on the table with wide eyes. I took a deep breath.
"Bill… your a curse breaker right?" He nodded as he stood once again.
"If anyone makes to leave this room until you give the all clear I will be stunning them." I drew my wand.
"Percy, it might be safer..." I glared at Dumbledore.
"Headmaster. SHUT YOUR MOUTH! Bill is the one trained for this stuff." I took a breath.
"Bill, if it is safe enough I want it at Gringotts so they can see how much soul is left." He nodded and picked up the compass and began to leave the room following it. Moody went to follow and I held out my wand.
"Bill, do you want his assistance, if so scan him for compulsions. I puked in front of the goblin king, I don't want any more embarrassment for the day." Moody chuckled gruffly and backed up.
"Never mind commander Jackson, I didn't think about that." I nodded as Bill sighed and left entirely. Remus frowned.
"Percy, while we wait can you explain what you meant by how much soul is left?" I nodded.
"The goblins explained it like this. If a soul is 100 galleons and you split it in half and store it your left with 50, again and your left with 25, again and your left with 12.5? ok so I don't remember exactly."
"12.5, 6.25, 3.125 and onward." Dumbledore said with a sigh.
"I had not thought about that." I nodded.
"According to them the smaller the piece the easier it is to remove from the anchor and banish." He nodded.
"Once I see it with this object I know of one that will need to be done carefully. I know the location of his last one." He said looking at the table, upset with himself. I nodded.
"The compass will be at the entryway. Anyone who steps through and makes it vibrate will be stunned first questioned later." He sighed.
"Sirius will have trouble with that." Sirius scoffed.
"The only person on this planet I won't want to… stun..." He growled an I could tell there was a partial transformation going on.
"Why would I need to stun Harry?" I face palmed.
"The smaller the piece the more unstable. His scar. You left a piece of that creature in his head? That's how he can see visions isn't it?" I said quietly as Sirius jumped at the headmaster as a dog before I stunned him and he dropped on the table. Remus was growling with barely controlled rage.
"Idiot headmaster, when does that train leave the school?" He looked at the clock on the wall.
"23 minutes ago." He said softly. I nodded.
"Remus your in charge of this room. Nobody leaves until Bill gives the all clear, Arthur if he needs help I need you to ensure he is ok. Twins, Moody, and Tonks we are boarding the train."
"My boy this is..." I stunned the headmaster as all eyes went wide.
"I will listen to him when it comes to information, this is battle." I looked to Moody, knowing he is the next one everyone will listen too.
"How do we get there Commander Jackson?" I nodded as I left the room all of them following me.
"Men will be apperating close and taking the brooms for the outside in case of Death eater attack, he might have felt the three be destroyed. Tonks is with me hopefully I can force my wings because there will be quite a few passengers. On the way back." I stepped out he door and focused on flying with blackjack instead of transforming. Suddenly I felt my body explode and my back hurt like a bitch. I breathed deeply as Tonks jumped onto my back, under my wings. I nodded to Moody before teleporting to Hogsmead.
"This is kind of far, think you can catch up?" I neighed in response before galloping with all my might and flapping my wings. Suddenly I was in the air flying just as fast as Blackjack, who could cross the country in an hour if he really tried.
Line break
I was 20 yards away when three brooms took formation next to me. Swooping down into the caboose, I shifted back as Tonks landed with her wand drawn.
"Nice flying." I nodded.
"Could use some work." I drew my wand.
"Everyone from the ministry comes if we find them." She opened her mouth before shutting it and nodding. We began to walk through the halls looking inside the windows. The first ones we found was Ginny, talking to a white blond haired girl I remember. I threw open the door as they spun to me, Ginny drawing a wand.
"You remember me?" They nodded before spotting Tonks and relaxing.
"Grab your stuff, do either of you have brooms?" Ginny nodded. "Take it out, Tonks shrink their stuff. Blondie, fly with Ginny or one of the twins, up to you." I went to leave.
"My brothers are here?" I turned back.
"Explanations later, running now." I left the compartment as I heard noises. Next I found the chubby boy talking to a black kid.
"You remember me?" He nodded before grabbing his stuff and shrinking it. As he pocketed it I nodded and he followed me.
"Have a broom?"
"No sir." I sighed.
"Know where the rest from the ministry are?"
"Ginny..."
"Got her and the blond." He nodded.
"Harry is in the next car with Hermione and Ron." I nodded and picked up the pace.
I threw open the door and had to block two stunning spells.
"Good reflexes, brooms out, luggage shrunk time to go. NOW!" I turned and began to walk as I heard them come jogging up.
"What about..."
"Shut up and follow me." I cut off Ron who grunted. As we got close I saw Tonks jogging up the isle.
"I put Ginny and Luna in a compartment, Moody just dropped a Death Eater." I growled and turned seeing the last three all had brooms.
"Girl, give him your broom, you look like the lightest one, Harry your flying with Luna since your supposed to be god on a broom according to Sirius. Stay alive until someone apparates you. Any questions?" The girl raised her hand.
"Good none, Tonks, Girly, lets mount up, once I break the ward I want her off my back."
"But I have..." I exploded into a Pegasus as her eyes went wide. Tonks chuckled and threw her onto my back before mounting herself. I shot down the hall like a shot before jumping off the train and flying up as the twins shot through the door once I cleared it. I flew strait up until I fell pain on my back as a few feathers were pulled out. Swooping next to Moody I stayed next to him.
"Dropped one half a mile back, we don't have much time." I neighed at him as brooms shot out of the train like a parade. I flew down at them as Moody followed and grabbed a broom and teleported away. The rest were in formation behind me as I flew to about 100 yards to the left of the train. The three men appeared with Tonks on the back of Moody's broom. She jumped onto a broom and the three teleported. One twin took another and now it was simply Moody, a Twin and I. When I heard a noise behind us I looked as I saw a purple spell headed for the twin. I barrel rolled into the way and it impacted my wing before blue and yellow shot from my companions as the death Eater dropped. The problem was my wing was damaged and I was dropping as well. I teleported and arrived in a human heap in the living room with blood running down my shoulder, not being able to move my arm. Two cracks later and I had Moody levitating me to the bathroom.
"Water helps, right lad?" I grunted, but nodded.
"Drop me and ensure everyone's safety." He dropped me in the tub and turned it on with a swish of his wand before he left. I sighed in relief before I shut my eyes to take a nap.
Time Skip
I woke up to McGonagall casting spells on me, while I was in the tub. I blinked.
"Please tell me I am still dressed?" She narrowed her eyes.
"Yes, Mister Jackson, what are you implying?" I chuckled and stood up.
"Simply that you wanted to check my injuries, and couldn't do that with my robes on." She sighed, but nodded.
"Good, and we only removed your outer robe." I nodded before moving my arm.
"And the diagnosis?" I asked as I left the water and willed it out of my clothes and into the tub.
"You are completely healed." I nodded.
"Those I brought back?" She sighed.
"Albus was incredibly upset, however they are all fine. I was told about Harry, however we have not done anything to him as of yet. Moody says we need you, although Albus disagrees since the locket came back from the goblins." I nodded with a sigh.
"This is more political than battle, I can't lead this part." She smiled.
"It is always good to know one's limits, however you have the best relationship with the goblins." I groaned.
"What about Bill?" She sighed once again.
"He has been called in by the goblins for their investigation. Apparently he has the highest count on cleansing them in Egypt where they were insanely popular." I nodded in understanding.
"How long was I out?"
"Four days." I shook my head.
"Wish I could take a break, but fine."
We walked into the kitchen for lunch and everyone went silent. I took a deep breath.
"I am hungry, then I will talk." Everyone was still silent, however Molly grabbed me in a tight hug.
"You saved George, thank you so much." I chuckled.
"Damn, I thought it was Fred, should have let it hit him." The kids all burst into laughter as Molly backed up to yell before McGonagall cleared her throat.
"Before you yell Molly, let me point out that the frowns of the children have all disappeared." She turned and noticed the laughing faces and smiled.
"Very well. I didn't like the joke, but I appreciate the effect." I sat down as she handed me a large plate. Before I took one bit a twin grabbed me.
"You really would have let me die?" I chuckled.
"Shut up Fred, you know I was joking." He blinked.
"How did you know?" I gave him a look.
"Who wouldn't pass up that opportunity, though you did just confirm it for me." He smirked and laughed before going back to his brother as I began to eat.
Line break
I took my last bite and sat back with a happy groan.
"Thank you Molly, that was amazing." As I looked back to the table I saw once again all the faces were looking at me. I sighed.
"Lets see the child friendly version so I still get to eat here." I thought for a moment as Molly glared at me.
"My children don't..." "I got it." I said interrupting her.
"Harry, Tom made multiple things that would keep him from dieing. Me and my friends found 3 and destroyed them. After some investigation we discovered there is one in your scar." Everyone but the twins went wide eyes.
"After this revelation I decided we needed you here so I can get you to the goblins to have It removed. We were attacked because Tom found out I destroyed some." He took a deep breath and looked at the table.
"Is that why the compass doesn't stop vibrating, and gets worse when I am close to it?" I nodded.
"Yes."
"He is just a boy, he doesn't..." Sirius came around the corner with tears in his eyes.
"Need someone coddling him. That was a very heavily edited version that gets all the information across. Now that Percy is awake we will need to figure out how to get Harry to Gringotts." He looked at me.
"First you save my life, then you save Harry." He shook his head. I sighed.
"Stop praising me I just did what anyone would have done." I then sighed and looked to the girls from the train.
"Now, redhead is Ginny, and Molly's daughter, Blondie and Girly, am I going to get into trouble for kidnapping?" Girly glared.
"My name is Hermione Granger, and I had a question on the train." I rolled my eyes.
"And that was?" She blushed.
"Why did my weight matter?" I chuckled.
"Cause I didn't want to break my back. Now kidnapping? Yes or no?" She shook her head.
"I sent my parents a letter, they have no problem with me being here." I nodded.
"Blondie?" She tilted her head.
"You came from a different world. Daddy would love to meet you." I blinked at her speaking ancient Greek.
"Thank you I think. So I wont have any trouble from your father?" She shook her head.
"Not at all my lord." I face palmed.
"Please call me Percy. So your a seer?" She nodded with a smile.
"I am not a very good one Lord Percy, however I do see things, yes. I am Luna Lovegood." I smiled at her.
"If I told you I plan to have Harry drink Poly juice and simply walk up the steps of the bank what would you say?" She stared of for a moment.
"He should have a puppy too." She said shocking everyone before drinking her juice as I chuckled.
"Wonderful, I need Poly juice, an owl to deliver a letter and Sirius for a day in the Alley." I said before standing up and stretching as my body popped. Hermione shook her head.
"What language was that, what was said, how does Sirius in the Alley do anything but get him arrested, and what are you going to do with Poly juice?" I chuckled.
"Ancient Greek, quite a bit, not if he is a dog, and turn Harry into someone random." I said with a chuckled as I met her eyes. I began to walk out of the room.
"I need to change I smell like blood."
Line break
I had finished my shower and was now changing when a knock rang out on my door before Luna opened it and skipped in, sitting on my bed. I blinked a few times, glad I had my pants on.
"Luna you don't just burst into the room." Hermione and Ginny said with wide eyes from the doorway. I shook my head.
"Well I have pants on so why don't you girls come in here and explain what I did you want to yell about." I said before noticing the two of them were staring at my scarred torso. Rolling my eyes I pulled a shirt on and began to put on my shoes. Hermione blinked a few times.
"Right, um, besides the train I really don't know anything about you besides you came out of the veil of death."
"Dimensional portal." I said as she frowned.
"But all the books say..." I cut her off.
"That nobody comes back once sent through. I am aware and have had many conversations with Gandalf about it. However we don't have a portal on my old world, unless it is formed by a divine being like my father. So lets summarize so I can begin the plans to get Harry healed." I thought for a moment as they stood there wide eyed as Luna played with a radish necklace.
"I am a Demigod of Poseidon who had to fight for my life sense I was 12. Before I was sent to this dimension I was fighting my grandfather who was trying to overthrow Olympus. I made a deal with the order that once the threat of snake face is done they will enable me to go back to the veil and jump in. at the moment it is too guarded." They all blinked, and Luna spoke.
"He is also currently the lord of the ocean unless a higher being comes to claim the title." I shook my head as I finished my shoes and threw a robe on.
"That part is news to me." I took a breath and looked to the women.
"Now, why are you here apart from to interrogate me?"Ginny narrowed her eyes.
"How do we know Harry will be safe?" I nodded.
"You don't, however without him getting it removed Voldemort can't die, and will continue trying to kill the one who escaped him as a baby." Hermione nodded.
"I want to come. I am 17 and lega..." I held up a hand.
"Not as yourself, get me extra potion for you and I wont argue. Long as the group does not get above 5 humans than it wont be very suspicious. Now I have to talk to Snape about getting me the potion." I walked out of the room leaving the three girls there. The last time I talked to Dumbledore I stunned him. I don't see this going well.
Line break
I was in the headmasters office after coming through the floo. Now I was staring at the headmaster in silence, while my knee bounced.
"You stunned me?" I nodded.
"No offense Albus, but it wasn't personal, and encase you haven't been told yet, it was needed." He nodded with a sigh and put his wand on the desk towards me.
"My wand is no longer listening to me as it once did. It's allegiance has changed. You are it's new owner." I gave him a look.
"What are you talking about, I have a wand." He nodded.
"This is not an ordinary wand. It is the Elder wand. One of the deathly Hallows. It all began when three brothers..."
"Fuck! I knew that story sounded way too factual. A true fairy tale has at least some excitement, not just death." The headmaster was now wide eyed.
"You know the story?" I nodded.
"I had Remus get me a translated version of all the stories a wizard hears as a kid. I am a myth after all." He smiled and nodded. Taking out a necklace he put it down showing a triangle with a circle inside and a line through the middle.
"This is the symbol of the deathly Hallows. The symbol is on all the objects. I located it on the bottom of the wand, the middle the left inside sleeve of the cloak, however I have not seen the resurrection stone so do not know where it would be." I nodded and sighed.
"I was shown a picture of a ring with a stone in it. The ring was a Horocrux. This symbol was on the stone just above the mount." I turned the wand over and inspected the symbol. It was incredibly small, but it was there.
"You have seen the stone? Where is it?"
"In my vault, where it will stay. You know the danger of the stone. It is not worth that." He took a breath.
"You are correct of course. It should remain there. How did you know Harry would be attacked?" I shook my head.
"Suspected. I have been in a war before. When you sit back and react it never goes your way. Moody agrees with me." He nodded with a deep sigh.
"He spoke to me. Thank you for saving everyone." I nodded.
"I have no desire to lead, except in battle." He nodded.
"I will be having a meeting tonight about the information I have. You were correct in that I should share it. Minerva spoke to me about that." I nodded as he opened the drawer on his desk and pulled out a diary with a large hole in it, and an old ring.
"These are the two I have discovered." I nodded and took them.
"I need enough Poly juice for three people. As soon as possible." His eyes went wide.
"What is the plan? Another battle?" I shook my head.
"No, I am taking Harry to Gringotts. He will be under the potion along with Hermione who demanded to be included. If nobody else wants to join than I will take the third." He took a deep breath.
"Would you mind if I tweaked your plan slightly?" I shrugged.
"I told you, I plan battles, not missions." His eyes twinkled for the first time since I mentioned Horocrux.
Time Skip
We were walking down the Alley, Harry and Hermione under the potion as random Muggles, Sirius as a white dog, and me as myself. Remus, Tonks and Dumbledore were disguised as Harry, Hermione, and Dumbledore walking around Hogsmead. That was the old man's plan. Turn Sirius white, put Moody in the bank, send the twins to refill the order's potion supplies, and provide a distraction. As we passed the potion supply shop the twins ran out the door and into their shop a few doors down from the bank. I smirked at the way they seamed to be messing with each other, but one always had us in their sights. Hermione huffed from her disguise.
"Those two are always joking around." I chuckled.
"Look closer, Girly. When one looks away from us the other spins to see us." A few seconds later she gasped. I sighed.
"Less obvious on the gasp please. We are supposed to be fitting in." She bent down and began to pet Sirius.
"Sorry." I nodded and grabbed Harry's shoulder as we approached the steps.
"You ready for this?" He nodded and we began to climb the steps. I took out a note and handed it to the guard on the outside. Immediately he read it before slamming the butt of his spear on the ground as a Goblin ran out. The note was handed over before with wide eyes he met my narrowed ones.
"Lord Percy and family, please follow me." We followed past the exiting Moody as his fake eye followed us. Once we hit the hallway out of view he turned and backed up.
"The king is not to be addressed with any enchantments on your face." I nodded.
"The kids are under Poly juice. Sirius change back now." He turned back into a white haired man before a quick spell canceled the hair. The goblin nodded and handed the other two a potion.
"Thank you for the owl announcing the plan Lord Percy." I nodded as they both shivered terribly and changed back. Harry spoke for the first time since breakfast.
"I think that taste's worse than the poly juice." The goblin snickered before turning and leading us deeper. I took a deep breath.
"Unless spoken to nobody speaks to the king, but me. We have an understanding and I do not want you causing problems. Specially you Sirius." Everyone nodded.
"What makes you and he have an understanding?" Hermione asked as I chuckled.
"I am a demigod, who respects him." She shook her head.
"How does that..."
"Lord Percy has shown his skill in combat and treats the king as an equal while witches and wizards have lied to each other to the point where nobody even remembers how much we won in the last war." She shook her head.
"But according..." I covered her mouth with my hand.
"Stop thinking like a witch. Why the fuck would the looser gain control over all the currency, therefore the economy of the victor?" It took not even 10 seconds before her eyes went wide. I nodded as it clicked to her and let go.
"Like I said, only I talk." She blushed, but nodded.
When we entered the room the King was already there and I bowed, quickly followed by the others.
"Ah, Lord Percy. You letter said you have 2 destroyed anchors of the law breaking bastard, and a live one for us to cleanse." I nodded and pulled out the diary and ring.
"These two came from Headmaster Dumbledore." He inspected them and nodded.
"The diary you mentioned possessed a child and opened the chamber of secrets, and a non mentioned ring I can feel the taint on." I nodded.
"And where is the live one. I wish to see if we can discover how much of a soul he has left?" I cleared my throat.
"Harry is. I believe that, that night his soul split and buried itself under Harry's scar." He narrowed his eyes.
"The compass?" I sighed.
"Hasn't stopped vibrating since he entered the house." He growled.
"To put one inside an infant." The noise now escaping his mouth was scaring everyone, but me. I knew it wasn't directed at me.
"Harry is already scarred shitless. Perhaps saying the name of whoever you are growling at would be calming for him." He looked to the terrified boy.
"Your right. I am of course mad at Riddle, not Mr. Potter. On a live anchor I anticipate the need of 18 hours. One visitor only. There is very little extra room." I nodded.
"His Godfather Sirius Black will stay with him." Hermione opened her mouth so I continued.
"As his magical Guardian this should assist in any unexpected events as well." She shut her mouth and he nodded.
"That is reasonable." He turned to Harry.
"Your in for a rough night. I hope you can handle it." He took a breath.
"I can handle it." He said confidently. The king smiled a predatory grin. He then turned to his guards and spoke in goblin language.
"Boy and Godfather, follow my guard as they prepare you for the ritual. Usually once the anchor is removed from the creature it was put in they are almost unrecognizable. I wish you the best." My two companions nodded before Hermione was hugged by both of them. They then walked out the door as Hermione sighed deeply.
"Thank you your highness. Something else that was mentioned is Tom's fascination with Magical numbers. Albus has mentioned that with how many we believe he made 6 is a possible amount with the seventh being himself." He growled at that, but I could tell he was thinking about it.
"If he didn't know about Harry being one, does that mean he would have made another after he came back?" Hermione asked as we both looked at her. I nodded.
"That is plausible. And Harry mentioned having a vision of being his snake." I replied with a smile before turning to the king.
"All good information. Should the reading off Harry come back as 6 then we will assume he has 7. The logic is certainly there. Good thinking Girl." Hermione nodded.
"Sorry I spoke out of turn your highness." I shrugged as the king laughed.
"You were respectful, do not worry about it. For now however I have stuff to do. Leave the bank as I relay everything to he proper people." I bowed my head and began to leave.
"Thank you for everything, your highness." He nodded and called at me.
"Purebloods seem to be dieing sense you arrived. About time." I chuckled as we left and followed the goblin to the lobby once again.
I sighed deeply.
"Hermione you haven't even made a noise since your suggestion. what's wrong?" She shook her head.
"Is Harry going to be ok? And why is he happy about people dieing?" I chuckled.
"Harry will be fine, and he is happy because who do you think the purebloods take it out on when they have to pay to get out of jail?" She gasped in realization as the goblin chuckled.
"Correct my lord. Every time a death eater gets arrested they buy their way out and blame us for their account decreasing. In the last war we were excited at the prospect of Voldemort concurring the British ministry and violating the treaty with us so we could kill them. It has been so long sense we have had a good fight. Our kind miss it." I chuckled.
"Well he did violate it now." He chuckled darkly.
"The king wants the children safe at school before we publicly declare a feud with him and his followers." I nodded.
"Makes sense. A no sleeves requirement in the bank should scare a lot of them as well." He chuckled.
"That would be interesting My Lord. I will suggest it, do you mind?" I laughed.
"Not at all, just ensure that it is enforced for everyone so your not blamed for prejudice." He nodded.
"Wonderful, this fall shall be interesting in the bank indeed." We left the goblin once we reached the lobby.
"Percy, wh..." I shook my head.
"No questions in view of anyone, remember how we got here." She gulped and nodded.
We left the bank and began to descend the stairs when a green spell shot at me. I grabbed Hermione around the middle and spun so it went past us and hit the bank wall. A man with a sneer on his face walked into view, wand leveled at me.
"You removed my brother's leg. I am going to kill you." He said, on the verge of crazy. I laughed as I saw Moody start to come over.
"The only time in recent memory I removed a leg it was from a chicken shit who decided to trap and kill minors." The crowd was now running away. "I wouldn't want my name associated with someone like that. Unless of course it was as the one to kill him." He screamed as I tossed Hermione through the air to Moody as an ice wall appeared between me and the man. I saw Moody take something out of his pocket and a sound like shattering glass rang out as they teleported. My wall shattered and I drew my wand, with my right and the elder wand with my left. With my wand I conjured thirty knives before under a second later I banished them at the man with the elder wand. The man instantly had at least one in each limb and about a dozen in his torso. He dropped to the ground, dead before I let out my breath. Looking around the only ones still there were a blond reporter and the armored goblins. I narrowed my eyes.
"I have heard about you Rita. Your a bug, and a gossip hag. Lie and I am coming for you." I pulled out a stick as I put my wands away.
"Doghouse." I felt the pull at my navel as the port key activated.
Staggering when I landed I heard Moody calling for fighters.
"...Killing curse, we need to help before it gets worse and back up..."
"I am here. There was nobody else." He turned, wand leveled.
"Prove yourself lad, that was fast, even for you." I nodded and thought for a second. Looking to Hermione, I smiled.
"Kill the snake." She took a moment before sighing in relief and nodding. She fell to the couch with a smile.
"That's him." Moody grumbled, but nodded. He then limped over to the front door and the hanging compass before grabbing it and nodding.
"Damn thing is finally silent. What is the news from the Goblins?"
"A very good question." Albus asked from the door frame as we all leveled wands at him and his two companions. There was dirt on a lot of their clothing. Moody growled.
"Damn it Albus, there was a Death Eater in the Alley. Prove it's you." He sighed as Tonks changed almost a dozen times randomly as she walked to the couch and sat next to Hermione. Moody nodded at the unique ability. Remus sighed.
"Percy only respects me because I was focused on protecting the kids at the ministry." I nodded and Moody grumbled. Dumbledore smiled.
"Alaster, do you remember that night in your fourth year when I found you on the sixth floor..." A purple spell impacted the headmaster as everyone looked on. He limped a few steps.
"I was partial to the third floor. Sixth is the story if he ever got interrogated." I groaned.
"Remus get the fake to the ritual room while Tonks and Moody bind him. Hermione I need you to get Author or Molly and summon the order for an emergency meeting." She went wide eyed and everyone jumped for their assigned tasks. I went to the stairs.
"GINNY!" I yelled and waited a moment. She appeared with a fearful face.
"I need a potion, your parents are busy and I am told you have a descent grade in it." She nodded.
"What potion?" I frowned not thinking about that yet.
"We have a spy in the house, I trust your judgment." Her eyes went wide and she took off up the stairs. I turned before I heard a voice.
"How is there a spy?" I saw Ron leaning over the banister.
"Impersonated Dumbledore." He frowned.
"There are only so many people keys into the wards during the summer for Hogwarts. He would have been found out if he swapped in front of Tonks, not to mention Professor Lupin's sense of smell." I frowned.
"Right your good at chess. I am about to go down to interrogate. Talk with Moody about ideas." I walked to the ritual room with a sigh.
"Least Harry should be getting treated." I said with a shake of my head. I then went down the stairs.
Twenty minutes later I was looking at Snape with an ice cube encasing him up to his neck while I rubbed my head. He was glaring at us all. Ginny came running down before gulping with wide eyes and looking at everyone. I held out a hand.
"What do you have for me?" She cleared her throat.
"That's Proffe..."
"Ginny, what is in my hand?" She nodded and let go while focusing on me.
"With the, um timeframe I made a boil cure potion, before adding crushed porcupine quills after taking the cure out..."
"Stupid girl, do you not realize the pain that would ensure from even a single drop of the laced cure! Even after the cure it would take days to loose the boils. The pain would take hours!" I smiled and patted her head.
"Good girl." She shied away before I stepped forward. Handing Moody the cure I uncorked the other.
"Everyone under 17 leaves, now! Any who don't want to watch torture as well." There was now only me, Moody, Remus, and Arthur, although the Weasley looked pale. I tuned to Snape.
"Why where you disguised?" He eyed the potion.
"Albus was busy?" I shook my head.
"I told him he can make the plans, but I execute the fights. Both locations were potential fights, try again." He glared.
"Get him here then, he will have you release me, I am sure." I sighed.
"Moody, I believe interrogation falls under battle if it is a POW. What about you?" He grunted.
"I don't like it, but yes lad. I agree." I held the vial over his head as he narrowed his eyes before smirking.
"You don't have the gut's boy." I shrugged and dumped the vial. He was panicked before his eyes went wide. The first boil appeared and he screamed.
"WHY!" I yelled as he whimpered.
"You don't… have any other threats. The dark lord is worse." I laughed before conjuring a needle. His eyes went wide as I poked the boil on his nose as he screamed before it simply reformed inside the welt. I went for another.
"I was at a meeting for the dark lord, he summoned his followers..." I listened as he spoke about everything.
Line break
I had nothing left in my stomach as I dry heaved into the toilet. It took five more boils but I got every bit of information I could from the slime. The key points were he owed Albus too much to allow him to walk into a trap so took his place. In order to receive a dark mark you had to rape and kill a muggle, in front of Tom. There was so many more little things that when I was through with him I dumped the cure down his throat before transfiguring him into a bat and making an ice cage in the room he could not escape.
"Lad, an interrogation like that can mess with anyone. I am not sure I would have thought about popping the boils myself." I shook my head.
"I don't care about that. What he said." I shook my head and dry heaved again.
"How can you even consider him human after learning that?" He sighed and sat on the edge of the tub.
"I usually don't, and simply put them in jail to be caged like an animal." I sighed and sat back against the wall.
"Arthur puked during and Remus had to leave. If they don't want me near them I will leave. Can you ask them?" He chuckled darkly.
"I spoke to them before I came for you. It wasn't you that had them like that." I sighed.
"Thank you."
"Lets go Lad. The meeting is in 30 minutes and we need to sweep the room to make sure the kids don't hear anything." I nodded with a deep breath.
"Have they found Albus?" He sighed.
"Arthur went through the floo to help Minnie." I stood and used mouth wash.
"Those kids had him as a professor, I am not stopping them from listening." He sighed.
"Molly won't..."
"Then have her clear the room. After what that slime ball did!" I took a breath.
"I was 16 when I left my dimension. The teenage muggle he told us about for him to earn his mark. It reminds me of my best friend." I covered my eyes and took a breath, all while picturing Rachel.
"I want to kill him." He put a hand on my shoulder.
"I only had to watch. I will take care of the meeting. You go to sleep." I opened my mouth before sighing with a nod.
"Thank you Alaster." I said softly. He nodded. I went into my room and slept fitfully.
Time Skip
The next morning I walked into the kitchen with a frown as I noticed everyone staring at me. I sat down and served myself some food as nobody spoke. Remus came in rubbing his head until he saw me. He nodded and sat down.
"Percy, I am sorry I was unable to control myself during the… questioning." I shook my head.
"I don't blame you. There is a reason I kicked most people out before I began." He nodded with a deep sigh.
"At the meeting last night Alaster said he was transfigured into a bat and in a cage last night. Dumbledore understood so left him in your care, however wants it to last no longer than today. He is still an asset." I stood up and went to the fridge before grabbing fire whiskey and pouring myself a full glass."
"Mr. Jackson, there are children present who do not need to think it is ok to drink like that. Especially in the morning." Molly said as she took the bottle away and frowned at the glass. I smiled at her and nodded.
"Sorry." I ignored the glass and sat down again next to a smirking Remus.
"Did Moody tell him everything we learned?" Remus sighed.
"Yes he did. He still feels that he would be an asset." I nodded.
"Very well, meet me in the room at 11:59 tonight. Today I will release him." He chuckled as a few of the children did as well.
"Have we received any owls from the bank?" I asked as I ate my English breakfast. Arthur sat down on my other side.
"None. I believe you said 18 hours for the procedure?" I nodded.
"Yes, I am simply hoping there were no complications." He nodded. I took a breath.
"Arthur, I need you to look into scheduling Newt tests at the ministry for me. My owls should be back soon and if I can get Newts than I want to teach at the school instead of attend as a seventh year. That way I have more freedom." He froze for a second before glancing at Remus who chuckled.
"Don't look at me, he has so much power that with the wand as a controller he bypassed the entire curriculum." I laughed as the kids all had their jaws drop, except for Luna.
"When would you like me to scheduled them?" I shook my head.
"Look into it, don't schedule yet. If Albus says I can't teach than I still need a way into the school." He nodded.
"I understand." Hermione held up a hand. I rolled my eyes.
"Hermione this is breakfast, just talk please." She blushed, but nodded.
"How old are you that you can teach us?" I chuckled.
"Officially I am 22, however actually I am 16. The portal did weird things to me. Dumbledore filed paperwork so I could take my OWLS at the ministry than have a review year. With this I would simply..."
"Be there in a teaching capacity and not have a curfew or anything like that. You could control the students and give us someone else to trust in the school." I smiled.
"Your gonna be my best student, aren't you?" She blushed and tucked a hair behind her ear.
"Your the same age as us?" Ron asked as I narrowed my eyes at his anger. When his eyes shifted to Hermione, I chuckled.
"Only technically. Although I find myself behaving more mature than I was when I was in my dimension. Perhaps the mind is closing in on the body faster than it normally would." Hermione nodded like it made sense and Remus chuckled.
"I agree with you Percy, that is the logical thought." I smiled and continued eating. Finally I sighed.
"Where is Moody? I want to plan the retrieval of Harry in two days, so he has time for rest, but I don't want to involve Dumbledore if he still wants me to release the literal bat." I finished with a chuckled as Remus smirked.
"He went home for the night. He should be back by 5pm." I sighed and cracked my neck.
"I guess I will go to my room and start on a plan for the classes I might end up teaching. This is going to be a pain." Remus smiled at that.
"Perhaps I could help you. I did do it after all." I nodded.
"Library than, not my room." I looked to the kids.
"Anything you guys want included, let me or Wolfy know. It might be a cover, but your education shouldn't suffer." Hermione widened her eyes in excitement before breathing and turning around, not saying anything. I rolled my eyes.
"Hermione, stop being embarrassed or whatever you are and speak. You have good ideas. I only ever got mad at you in the middle of a battle type thing." She took a breath and nodded.
"Can I come with you? I have a lot of ideas?" I chuckled.
"Come on than. Lets do this." Remus, Hermione, and I went to the library to start an idea for the classes I could end up teaching. I sighed as I thought about that. Why do I volunteer for this shit?
Time Skip
I was at the bank dressed in full, enchanted Armor, sword in full view on my back. The looks as I walked in had me sighing. Moody said that the distraction isn't worth the risk anymore. Most of the order was in the Alley as I walked down the entire length as people ran out of the way. Now that I arrived a guard leveled his pike.
"Halt. Who enters the bank pretending to be a warrior?" I chuckled and removed my helmet.
"Percy Jackson." The guard bowed his head and nodded.
"Right away sir, please continue to the podium." I nodded and reapplied my helmet. The goblin at the podium was bowing before I even arrived.
"Lord Percy, please follow me." I followed him as well.
When I arrived at the kings door I sighed and removed my helmet, handing it to the goblin beside me.
"I can't enter there with it, the king has been too nice." He chuckled.
"Of course my lord, it will be at the podium for your exit." I nodded as he opened the door for me to enter. Looking in I bowed to the king and smiled at the couch in front of his desk.
"Percy, please come in. Your companions are ready for departure and each have a potion regimen to follow." I frowned.
"Both? you have a vet here?" I asked with a smirk as the king and I started to laugh hysterically. Sirius stood next to a shockingly different Harry. Harry now had Red highlights, no glasses, the scar was almost invisible, and he appeared to have grown a few inches. I nodded.
"He looks a million times healthier. Those highlights the color of his mother's hair?" I asked while Sirius smiled.
"It seams he has a slight ability as a metamorphmagus. Afterwards he mentioned his hair growing back after a nights sleep." I smiled widely.
"That is amazing, Tonks will be busy teaching him what she can." Harry smiled.
"I feel a lot healthier too. I don't think I have ever felt as good as I do now." He said with a smile and opening and shutting his fingers. I smiled at Sirius. Before I frowned and brought out my wand.
"What are the chances your wand isn't as useful anymore?" The king sighed.
"Do to the cleansing being so recent and the trace on his wand till he turns 17 we were unable to test the possibility." I frowned and stored my wand.
"We will need to figure that out later." I took out a letter and put it on the desk in front of the king.
"We caught a spy after we dropped Harry off. This is what we learned from the interrogation. I hope you don't mind if I have no desire to repeat it." He sighed.
"I understand lord Percy. Your beliefs are similar to ours. I will attempt to read this without loosing my temper." I bowed to him.
"Thank you your highness. I also have a gift for our alliance." I took out a small cup from my enchanted pocket and put it on the desk.
"Vera Verto." I intoned, aware of the guards ready to attack me being so close to the king. The cup quickly transformed into a small hawk and shrieked at me before I backed up. I smiled.
"This hawk is keyed into our wards. We now have free information sending. I have placed an expanded pouch that matches his feathers between his wings as well. Any enemies will be looking for owls, not for a hawk." The king smiled before talking to the Hawk in Goblin before it jumped to his shoulder. He smiled widely.
"Thank you my lord. This is a wonder and useful gift." I nodded as he pet the bird on his shoulder.
"The three of you may now go. It appears I will be very upset in a moment so please ignore any outbursts you hear as you walk away." I nodded.
"Thank you your highness, and I am sorry about the bad news." I left with Sirius and Harry falling into step as we left.
"Why would there be..."
"DFHAVLK ALSIDVL!" I shook my head at the outburst already.
"Like I said Sirius we found a spy. Full details at the house, I was attacked as I left last time. Sirius turn to a dog. The second we can apparate you do. I have a stop to make now that I know about Harry."
"What do you mean, about me?" I sighed.
"I need to call in a favor about your wand."
"Sorry." I chuckled as we hit the lobby.
"Your healthier dude. Hold your head up and act like a man, not a victim." He took a deep breath as a goblin ran over and held out my helmet. I picked it up and we left the bank. The walk through the Alley was stressful, however we got there soon enough and the dog named Sirius bit Harry's sleeve and the left with a loud crack. Turning around I saw a bunch of Order members coming towards me and popping away until I was the only one left. Sighing deeply I walked down the deserted Alley and into Olivander's wand shop.
"My Lord, how may I help you?" I turned to see the immortal smiling at me. I frowned as he narrowed his eyes.
"200 Galleons, for a house call, and you get to examine the elder wand close up." I said taking the wand out and holding it up to him as his eyes went wide. As he reached for it reverently. I nodded.
"Ten minutes then we go. I have a schedule to keep in this war." He shook his head.
"Then I shall examine it afterwards. Let us go." I nodded and held out a string.
"I don't want you revealed. The code is doghouse. Now throw me out." He nodded and turned old once again. The door flew open.
"GET OUT OF MY SHOP! STOP PUSHING YOUR AGENDA!" I was suddenly thrown backwards and rolled along the street. The door glowed and locked completely with a shimmering ward outside of it. I stood and walked to the apparition point and popped away.
I landed in the entryway and yelled.
"Incoming! I have a guest port keying in." Moody limped down the hallway.
"Damn it boy! That wasn't part of the plan!" I shook my head.
"Neither was Harry loosing his wand." Everyone turned to the teen who had wide eyes as a loud crack rang out.
"Hello? I have an appointment." Everyone ran for the living room and he smiled.
"Alaster Moody, wand..." I rolled my eyes as everyone's wand was said, confirming his identity as the wand maker. Moody glared at me for a moment before he sighed.
"I guess he would be a hard one to impersonate. Next time, I want to know!" He yelled at me as I nodded. Turning to the wand maker I sighed.
"An extra 50 Galleons per wand in the house you take the trace off of. We need some more training." He nodded his head.
"Nobody on the other side will know of me helping you correct?" I nodded.
"Correct, long as you finish by 6pm. There is a meeting at 7." He looked to his watch and smiled.
"Of course, I will have plenty of time." I nodded.
"Harry, give the man your wand." He blinked a few times before nodding and taking it out. The wand maker frowned.
"Mr. Potter, your wand has been stripped of all magical potential. The only magic remaining is the trace." I cleared my throat.
"How can that happen?" He smiled.
"The elder wand is not the most powerful because of the wand. It is the most powerful, because it does not absorb any of the magic you try to use it for. By using the wand as a focus the magic becomes easier, however if you overcharge the wand in one spell, than it will effectively deteriorate the core and a new wand is needed. This is a NEWT level education in spell work. Only one in a million can even come close to the needed power. The last wand to end up like this was about 328 years ago." He said with a smile at the memory.
"Who did it?" Sirius asked with a frown. Ollivander looked to Harry.
"Your ancestor at the time. The Manor was under attack and he had just had a child. There was evidence that his simple fire whip, cleaved a giant in two." He then went closer to a wide eyed Harry.
"Your family was ahead of it's time Mr. Potter. They discovered that by bringing in newbloods, there was never a fluctuation in their magical power. Many Purebloods believe that newbloods will cause squibs. However what they do not realize, is the mixing of heritage is much like adding a new spell to your arsenal. Even if the spell is not used often, the spell is good to know. Much like the patronus, which seam to be what burned out your wand. It has but one use, and many do not need it through their entire life. Am I correct in assuming you are only alive at the moment, because of the spell?" Nobody spoke as they absorbed the information, I broke the silence.
"Harry, when did you put your all into a patronus?" He looked to Hermione, then Sirius as I sighed.
"Your third year? You have spent 2 years with a piece of wood and determination to cast spells." I rubbed my eyes.
"Remus, run him through the entire curriculum in the ritual room tomorrow." Ollivander chuckled.
"With this much power I will need to custom make his wand. It will not be ready for tomorrow." I rolled my eyes.
"And he just got a parasite out of his head." I took out a knife and threw it at Harry. Wide eyed he through out his hand and a purple shield appeared in front of him stopping the knife.
"Remus test him for his wandless abilities. All the kids get their wand cleared of the trace. I need food. I will get you your money after Moody yells at me." I walked into the kitchen as Moody limped behind me. Sitting down I sighed.
"Sorry for the surprise, but I was told on our way out that Harry might not be able to use his wand anymore." He growled.
"Not again. Plans are plans for a reason." He said grumpily and walked back out. I chuckled, that wasn't too bad.
"Next time warn a man!" He called over his shoulder. I smiled as the food appeared in front of me.
Line break
I was mostly ignoring the meeting when Moody told about the retrieval of Harry.
"… Then the boy shows up and says he has a guest port keying in. seconds before Ollivander appears in the room." I looked at a confused Snape who I had silenced and removed the ability to speak when Moody had started.
"I have never known him to make a house call. Percy, how did you manage that?" I smiled.
"Why is the bat still a member of the order? I don't trust him as far as I can throw him." Dumbledore sighed.
"Percy, he has been an immense..."
"Pain in the ass. I looked it up old man. The potions NEWT is required to become an Auror. The consensuses says he has been crippling the ministry's army for seventeen years. I say it is so that his snake faced master can have an easier time." I then met his eyes.
"I am going to teach Defense this year. I will have more freedom and through an inquiry I managed to figure out I can take my NEWTS next week. Tell me now and I will sign up. Or I can be a delinquent 7th year as I search for shit in the school. Either way your not going to like the way I handle the bat." His eyes were wide as he finally noticed Snap was frozen and unable to do anything.
"How long has he been frozen?" I smirked.
"Since Moody started. I promised Ollivander his deeds for us will never make it to the death eaters. If Snape knows I don't trust him to not tell his half blood bastard of a master." He took a deep breath.
"Percy, I trust him." I stood up meeting his face.
"You need to answer one question for me, Headmaster. Were you aware of what he did to become a Death Eater?" He took a deep breath while looking at his hands. I shook my head and turned to the bat.
"LEGILIMENS!" I called leveling my wand at the now wide eyed man. I pushed hard against the wall that felt physical. I withdrew the elder wand and added more power to it. Finally the wall shattered and I was racing through his memories. I saw everything in his head like a movie. The child abuse, the love for Lilly, the betrayal of her that lead her to James. Then I saw the need for acceptance, the power offered by the dark lord and the desire to prove how powerful he was to her. Then the joy he found in being in control of people. Then the realization that Lilly was against him. He went to Dumbledore in order to keep Lilly alive, however was playing both sides. He was giving just enough information to each side to justify himself as a spy. Then Harry arrived at Hogwarts and he flipped. The spitting image of James there for him to take his revenge on. So he belittled the boy, threatened the boy, the only reason he muttered the counter curse that first quidditch game was so that he could keep him alive. He wished Harry closer to the ground so that the fall would only break a leg. Then more recently his betrayal of the students to his cohorts. The plan had been Lucius and 2 others. Once he told Voldemort they increased the group sent to capture Harry. I saw all the way up through the present. He had already told his master we were destroying his anchors. I growled and pulled out leaving him gasping silently on the floor. I shook my head as I almost fell.
"Your right Dumbledore, he is an asset, but not for us. He already told Voldemort we destroyed some of his anchors."
I took a step and my leg gave out from under me. Remus caught me as Moody was putting spell after spell on the spying bat. I looked to the headmaster and was shocked to see his face. It was anger, a very unfamiliar face on the man.
"I have never been able to do a deep scan, due to his barriers. I am sorry Percy, but I watched it all from your mind. You brute forced your way in, I have a plan." I sighed.
"He is beyond any reasonable amount of chances." He shook his head.
"That is not the plan." He leveled his wand at the bat.
"Obliviate." He intoned and I saw the sweat on his brow. Finally he sat down harshly.
"He will no longer remember anything of the order from the start of the second war. It would seam I have a need of a new Potion Master. Percy, if you could stop me needing to search for a new defense teacher as well, it wold be much appreciated." I nodded with a frown.
"And the bat?" He took a deep breath.
"Leave him somewhere. He is on his last chance. I am sorry, for everything." I looked around the table and saw Moody, arms crossed in the corner. I nodded to him as he levitated Snape out of the room. I met Arthur's eyes and nodded.
"Arthur, can you set up my tests?" He nodded.
"I will go in early tomorrow." I sat down and took a breath before looking at Dumbledore.
"Headmaster, what is the plan for here on out?" He took a deep breath and looked around the room. Everyone had pity in their eyes. He took a deep breath.
"He will no longer be here, so Sirius needs to remove him from the wards. Remus, we need to get Harry up to speed with his spells. The changes in him are amazing to think about." He sighed.
"I will need to use my pensive over the next few weeks to attempt to find anything the dark lord may know due to my trust in the wrong person. Perhaps another meeting in three days time?" Everyone nodded and he left with a deep frown. Everyone looked to me. I sighed.
"Everyone think about everything that you have told the bat. I will see everyone in a few days, apparently I have test to study for." I turned and left, feeling bad about the pressure I keep putting on Dumbledore.
Time Skip
I apparated to Hogsmead with a smile and began to walk to the school. I had two days until the school year started and I was going to get my classroom ready. Suddenly a woman in Auror robes with a stern expression began to walk towards me, pulling a Monocle out of her pocket.
"Percy Jackson, I need to speak with you concerning a death in Diagon Alley. You are incredibly difficult to track down." I nodded.
"That is on purpose. I do not wish to be killed by Death Eaters." She sighed, but nodded.
"I am Amelia Bones, head of the DMLE." I nodded and withdrew my wand, placing it to my head and pulling the memory of walking out of the bank and being attacked. Placing it in a conjured vial I handed it to her.
"This is the memory of me killing the one who tried to assassinate me first. Skeeter was there and I told her she better not lie. She actually did a factual article." She seemed to be taken back for a while until she smiled.
"You seem to enjoy being efficient." I nodded.
"I also have to start teaching in a few days. I was going to set up my classroom today." She nodded.
"Yes, I barely missed you when you took your NEWTS, then managed to find out..."
"AMELIA BONES!" She froze and turned around as we both spotted 5 masked Death Eaters, and an unmasked Smirking Peter Pettigrew.
"You weren't home, so we decided to track you down." The five masked ones all shot the killing curse at the same time before Bones took out a wand, but clearly didn't know what to do. I however had already started creating an ice wall blocking them all. I ran past the woman and drew my wand. In seconds the ground at their feet turned to mud as they all sank to their knees. Waving my hand as I slid up to them I froze them to their chests in ice, effectively not allowing them to move. Next I stood and simply hit each with a stunner. I was taking deep breaths as I looked around waiting for anyone else. When a hand touched my shoulder I spun around with ice forming around my hand into a knife coming off the back and out 12 inches. I stopped it at the neck of Amelia and held my hands up and stepped back.
"Stressed out sorry." I said as I kept my head on a swivel. She nodded with wide eyes.
"Are any of them dead?" I shrugged.
"Depends on the ice, I wasn't focusing on keeping them alive though." She nodded and pulled out cuffs.
"Please watch my back while I port key them to cells." I nodded.
"You got it. Although the one without a mask is Peter Pettigrew, wasn't Sirius Black arrested for killing him?" She went wide eyed and nodded.
"That is the final evidence needed. He will be free by the end of the week if I have any say." I smiled and continued looking around. Today was certainly productive.
It took a few minutes for Amelia to port key them and look to me with deep breaths.
"I trust your word, do you mind escorting me to the school. I need to talk to the headmaster about the security of the students. This was too close to the school for me to be ok with." I nodded.
"I was told if someone takes my hand I can get them through the wards." She nodded.
"Lets go before anymore show up." I nodded and took her hand before I walked up and went past the gate. With a snap of my wrist red sparks shot out and went towards the castle.
"He should be alerted as soon as possible the death eaters were right outside the school." She nodded.
"How are you so calm about this?" I laughed.
"I am not calm, I just hide it better." We continued on in silence before the door erupted with us ten feet from the door as I blinked. Dumbledore had a wand in his hand as other teachers were busy looking around with twitching hands.
"6 death eaters in the village. Pettigrew was captured." His eyes went wide as he looked to Amelia.
"Did you ensure he could not turn into a rat and escape?" I face palmed having forgotten. She however went wide eyed.
"He is an animagus?" I nodded before she turned and ran for the gate. I sighed and looked back to the headmaster.
"I forgot about that, sorry." He nodded.
"You locked the gate behind you?" I nodded.
"Yeah I did, but she might be distracted." He nodded.
"Please check the gate behind her before setting up your classroom. I will get to work on the increased security for the train this year." I nodded before turning with a sigh and transforming into a Pegasus and trotting for the gate.
Time Skip
I relaxed in the last compartment in the train for the entire, uneventful ride to the school. I even had Padfoot next to me with the compass around his neck. When the train stopped he whined as I rolled my eyes.
"Padfoot, stop whining you can see him during the year." He did a doggy huff and stayed next to me. As I left the train he trotted at my side while my wand was in my hand with my head on a swivel. I watched as a couple students went to the side to talk. I sighed.
"Padfoot, round em up." He barked and went over and lead them over to the group.
"Get inside the gate before socializing!" I yelled as their heads snapped to me. They stared before Padfoot barked again startling them. They nodded and went to the gate as Padfoot trotted back to my side. I watched as the train was almost empty and narrowed my eyes.
"Hermione and Ron just left the train while looking around. Find Harry." He barked and took off into the train.
Everyone was inside the gates, but Padfoot wasn't back yet. I took out my other wand with Flitwit giving me a look before taking out his own wand.
"Is there a problem Mr. Jackson?" I looked around.
"Call me Percy, and Padfoot isn't back yet. Who is missing?" He looked to McGonagall.
"Lovegood, and Potter." I looked to the train trying to see through it before a bark alerted me to the two kids and a dog on the end headed for us. I sighed and put away the elder wand.
"Potter, Lovegood, get your asses onto the carriage and next time don't be late. Flitwit get on board with them, I need to talk to McGonagall privately." He nodded and turned.
"I am disappointed in you two, if you had taken..." He left and McGonagall shut the gate and enacted the wards as we boarded the last carriage when the other was out of sight.
"Padfoot, what happened?" He transformed back before coughing as he took off the tight collar compass.
"That was tight. Harry tried to spy on Draco. He was bragging about the Dark Lord trusting him with an important job." McGonagall sighed and looked at him.
"What took so long then?" He sighed.
"Malfoy caught him and stunned him." I shook my head.
"We are going to need to watch for something happening."
"I will notify the headmaster." I nodded to her and held up the collar with a smirk at Sirius.
"Show time." He rolled his eyes before transforming as I affixed the collar before we pulled up. Flitwit looked to us.
"I trust everything is alright?" McGonagall sighed and looked to me.
"He is trustworthy. Even if not in the order." Flitwit rolled his eyes.
"I see. I was unaware he wanted to be lead into battle by the headmaster." I laughed.
"He doesn't lead me into battle. We have an understanding, I lead in battle." He smiled.
"I see. So you are the demigod the king as spoken about." I smirked at the man and chuckled.
"You are half goblin then. We should talk about how to train these kids in defense." He smiled back.
"My Lord, it will be an honor."
"Percy, not lord, and it's gonna be fun." McGonagall sighed.
"I shouldn't have said anything. My school better remain standing." She began to walk in as I chuckled.
"I thought Dumbledore was the headmaster?" She fixed me with a reprimanding stare.
"The headmaster has a lot of duties, I am in charge of the day to day." She turned to walk in as I smirked and looked to Flitwit and Padfoot.
"She said Duties." They both began to chuckle as she turned around quickly.
"Behave as your stations demand." I nodded.
"I will do my Duties to the best of my abilities." The three of us burst into laughter again as she rolled her eyes.
"My School!" She called as she went back to the school. I nodded to the smiling goblin.
"I think that is enough for now. Let's not get me fired on day one." We all chuckled as we walked in and headed for the feast.
Line break
I sat at the table in front of the hall for the entire meal after giving Sirius a turkey leg. Finally Dumbledore went through a set of announcements that seemed like he did them every year. Then he sighed.
"Due to the atmosphere of the magical world today, I have brought in two new teachers. For Potions this year we have Professor Slughorn." Applause erupted as the man stood and took a bow. Once it died down he spoke again.
"And this year for Defense against the dark arts, we have Professor Jackson, who has asked if he could say a few words." I stood and walked to the podium.
"Thank you headmaster, I will make this quick. The reason I wanted to speak to the school is about my dog." I pointed to my side where Padfoot had sat down.
"He is a magical breed that has the ability to communicate and understand remarkably well. For example, Professor Slughorn, pick a number." He blinked a few times.
"5?" I nodded.
"Professor McGonagall?" She sighed.
"3." I nodded.
"Professor Flitwit, please pick a mathematical sign." He blinked and looked around.
"Addition?" I nodded.
"Padfoot, what is 5 plus 3." Padfoot immediately barked 8 times and the hall erupted into whispers. I cleared my throat loudly and everyone stopped talking.
"Yes, yes, well the astonishment of him has worn off for me." Padfoot barked at me and I gave him a look.
"It's true now let me finish." Padfoot huffed and laid down next to me as several students chuckled.
"Now where was I? Right, if he is patrolling the halls, he will be able to let me know what he sees. I have also enchanted his collar to repel spells so don't bother stunning him to get away. Due to the war the headmaster eluded to, please consider my office, not the bedroom off of it, a safe space. Anyone can enter there at any time and report anything that is worrying them and nobody will be told. Well, unless you want it known I guess." Padfoot barked and I exaggerated my eye roll.
"Padfoot would like me to tell you that he doesn't want to be pet unless you give him food as well." He barked again and I shook my head.
"Dumbledore it's your podium, thank you." I turned to Padfoot.
"I am not saying that, now stop acting like a mutt and behave." He huffed again as several laughed and we sat back down. The twinkle in Dumbledore's eye was insane as he turned to a completely smiling student body.
"Thank you Professor Jackson. That was most entertaining. Now if the prefects could lead the first years to their dormitories, I will finish with, good night and pleasant dreams." I stayed in my seat while the children left before I shook the hands of the entire staff and went to my room for bed. I smirked at the bunk beds Dumbledore put in here for me and Sirius as he transformed back and took off the collar.
"Think the students who don't know bought it?" I sighed and climbed to the top.
"I guess we will find out next week when you start searching for the anchor. Any vibrations?" He nodded.
"Barely any, but there is definitely one here." I sighed.
"I had a feeling. This week we show the school your are what I said you are and next week you find it and report." He sighed and nodded before getting into bed.
Time Skip
My first class the next day was second years. As expected the girls had all gathered around Padfoot in the corner until I cleared my throat.
"Enough with the dog, time for class." Several blushed, but nodded and went to their seats. Looking up I saw I had red and silver sides of the class. I shook my head.
"Next class I do not want your chairs divided by houses. They are only going to matter for your time at Hogwarts. Make friends all around. In business you need to be cunning, in investing you need to be brave about the money you could loose. Without a Gryffindor braving the risk, the Slytherin can't make them both rich. Think about that for your homework. Now I am not going to have people reading out of a book for class, that is homework. We will begin working on the disarming Spell as a review." I waved my wand and a dummy made of ice appeared in the corner before I slid a fake wand into it's hand. I saw a hand go up.
"Yes?" A girl from Gryffindor blushed.
"You didn't take attendance." I shrugged.
"I planned on marking you present when you came up one by one to do the spell." She blushed again.
"We weren't taught the spell last year. We were only told to read about it." I sighed.
"Your teacher last year sucked then and I would love to duel them even without a wand." I waved my hand and the dummy shattered.
"Here is the plan then. Until we catch up to where second years should be we are going to work on 5 spells a week. You can work on them at your own pace. Every Friday your going to have a private test behind a curtain and I will grade you on your abilities. For now everyone take out a scrap of paper and write your name on it. Padfoot will collect them and put them in this bucket." I said summoning a bin from my office. Padfoot barked and I was lost for a second cause we didn't plan any fake conversations for today.
"Your right, my bad the paper would be messed up in your mouth. Carry the bucket around." I replied transfiguring it so that there was a handle. Padfoot sighed, but picked up the bucket and waited as quills scratched away. I went to the board with my year one text book out and wrote spells for each chapter on the board.
When the list was done I turned around and saw Padfoot being pet with a bucket full of names.
"Padfoot, get over here and behave before I lock you in the office during class." He huffed and trotted over as I shook my head.
"Now, we have 22 spells for various uses on the board. Write them down and remember that they will be in increments of five per week. I will let you choose the order you test them in." I went to the wall and transfigured random objects into targets until I had enough for the whole class.
"I am going to call your name and ask you what spell you want to work on first. I will then assign you a target. Any bullying and you get a zero for the day." I sat down and took out the first name from the bucket before sighing. The name had a bunch of questions written under it. I shook my head.
"Susan." A blond girl in the back blushed and stood up.
"Which spell will you be working on first? I will walk around to help everyone after targets are assigned." She cleared her throat.
"The leg locker curse?" I nodded.
"Target in the corner, it is a visible spell so you don't need a specific target to practice." She nodded and went to the target.
"Justin?" I called the next as he stood up.
Line break
In between the end of the class and lunch I was in my office making a grid with names along one side and spells on the other. The plan was to write the grade in the box when they tested the spell. Sirius laughed in the corner. I rolled my eyes.
"You keep laughing, but your not telling me any of the questions." He nodded.
"Most of them are pointless, like this one. 'Will I get in trouble for having my wand out?' of course she won't this is a magic school." I nodded.
"I am sure she realized that already after this class. Clearly the bitch last year was impeding the..." I was cut off by a knock on the door. Sirius sighed and transformed before sitting in the corner. A wave of my wand and the door opened. A blond haired girl in green robes came in and sat in front of me as I frowned.
"Is everything ok?" She took a breath.
"My name is Astoria Greengrass. Draco Malfoy is a marked Death Eater. He was bragging in the common room." My eyes went wide as I swung my wand and the classroom door locked.
"Padfoot, nobody enters the classroom." The dog ran full speed out the office door and down the stairs as Astoria followed him with narrowed eyes. I took a breath.
"I did not expect this on day one. Please give me a moment." She nodded as I stood and went to a filing cabinet to pull out a form and sit back down.
"For your safety was there anyone else there or are you the sole witness to this event?" She sighed.
"He was trying to curry favor with my sister and I. This was a type of threat." I sighed.
"I will need to find a way of revealing it than. How does your sister feel about him? If he ends up removed from the school will she..." I was cut off by laughing.
"I apologize, however we both have been rejecting all offers from him for years. Anyone who can't do anything without involving his father does not deserve to be a Greengrass." I nodded.
"I see this is the English attitude type thing. Sorry, in America we don't put much stock in family names. So no trouble from you or your sister if he is 'removed'?" She smiled.
"So that is why you were speaking strangely and we don't have any information on you." I nodded.
"Did anyone see you come in, or do you feel in danger if I have you leave normally?" She went to speak before she shook her head.
"Nobody saw me enter, however if they see me leave it could end terribly." She finished appearing very sad. I stood and opened my large window with a sigh before smiling at there being nobody around. I turned back to her.
"Have you ever ridden a horse?" She rolled her eyes.
"I am an English pureblood, of course I have ridden a horse. Right, American, sorry, yes I have ridden a horse." I chuckled.
"Then mount up and I will get you out of here without anyone seeing." I transformed into my Pegasus form as her eyes went wide. She smiled before climbing the desk and getting on my back. Jumping out the window it was only a few seconds before I glided to the ground and knelt down so she could get off. When she did I jumped up and flew back into the window before transforming back and waving to her. She nodded and walked away. Shutting the window Padfoot was next to me for a second before he was Sirius.
"She wasn't seen entering, however sounded like they don't know where she went." I nodded and unlocked the doors.
"You need to go to Dumbledore. Your gonna bark at his arm, then I will choke on my food and ask 'what do you mean his arm smells like shit?' That is about the end of what we can actually plan. I don't know how he will react." He nodded with a sigh.
"Want me to wear the compass?" I nodded.
"Might as well get a subtle reading on the way." I took the form that had no names on it and put it into an envelope labeled Headmaster Dumbledore. Sirius handed me the compass and transformed. I put it on him and he took the corner of the note in his mouth as he trotted out of the office and out the door of the classroom.
I stood there taking deep breaths before I heard a knock and saw another blond Slytherin at my door. She cleared her throat.
"Professor, My name is Daphne Greengrass. Can you please lock the door? I wish to take advantage of your safe reporting." I could barely hold my tongue, however Astoria did not say I could tell anyone. Instead I nodded and waved my wand to lock the classroom and office doors.
"Of course Ms. Greengrass, let me grab a form." I took deep breaths as I realized I would be doing the same thing for both sisters.
Line break
I had a third year classes after lunch and decided to do the same thing I did for the second years, about the previous year. Finally it was dinner and Padfoot was traveling up and down the tables before stopping at Malfoy. He smelled his arm for a bit making the people around him laugh before a loud bark rang out and I spit out my juice.
"Padfoot, that is not nice. What are you talking about his arm smells like shit?" The entire school laughed, at the now blushing student, before I turned to them.
"This is a school of magic. Stop laughing, it could be serious. Now Padfoot, be specific." A bark rang out. I held my head and shook it.
"Draco please come up here so I can understand him better? It sounded like he said snake poop." Draco jumped up and ran for the doors before Padfoot jumped on him biting his sleeve. Dumbledore had a narrowed expression before locking the doors to the Hall.
"Professor Jackson, control the dog or I will remove him from the school." I ran down the hall and picked up Padfoot before whispering.
"Hold on tight, and good idea." I pulled him back as the robe ripped at the seem and revealed his arm for all to see. I dropped Padfoot who landed on his side, but stood quickly and started growling. I took out my wand.
"So you have the mark of the snake faced bastard who apparently also smells like snake shit. Put your hands in the air. NOW!" He instead took out his wand and shot a sickly yellow spell as Padfoot jumped and bit his wrist sending the spell to the side, at a redhead. I dove in front of it blocking it from hitting her, but taking it in the gut. I curled into a ball in pain as I heard dozens of stunning spells shot. I struggled to stand, however I could see the entire hall beginning to panic. Casting a sonorous on my self I grunted.
"Prefects bring your houses to the dorms and keep them there. Heads of houses will be along shortly to talk to whoever..." I puked everything out of my stomach as Padfoot came over to me whining. I dropped my wand as I held my gut. Madam Pomfrey was there immediately and began to cast spells as I blacked out.
Time Skip
I sighed as I started to wake up.
"Thank you for saving me." I blinked my eyes open a few times and looked to my right.
"Who are you?" I asked the girl. "I haven't had you in class yet, have I?"
"Good to know her relation to me had no effect on you saving her." I spun to the other voice and recognized Amelia Bones. I groaned.
"Bones, damn it. Am I in trouble?"
"If these two don't let me get to my patient than they will be." The two red headed females moved as Madam Pomfrey began to cast spells. I sighed in relief of the pain leaving.
"Your a miracle maker." She humphed.
"Yes, well you will be in that bed for another two days." I narrowed my eyes.
"I see you enjoy torture as well." She chuckled.
"It is for your health Mr. Jackson, not for my headache." She said before walking away shaking her head. Amelia chuckled before coming closer. Then she sighed.
"I need to hear the story about why your dog attacked the Malfoy heir from you." I raised an eyebrow.
"Seems pretty open and shut to me. His mark was revealed then he fired whatever curse hit me." She sighed.
"His father unfortunately has a lot of political pull." I sighed and turned to Susan.
"You need to leave so I can tell your aunt." She nodded and left with a small smile.
"Thank you." She then left before I turned to Amelia.
"I heard from a student about him bragging about being given a mission by Voldemort himself. Then another informed me about him revealing the mark in the school." She wrote this down.
"Who are the students?" I shook my head.
"Not telling. I promised them in my speech about my dog I would keep them anonymous." She frowned.
"I need to put it into my report." I shook my head.
"Arrest me, or except it." She sighed deeply.
"I am going to have to talk to the headmaster than." I laughed.
"He doesn't know shit. Good luck though, by doing that I might get more students to trust me." She narrowed her eyes.
"I wont retaliate against them." I shrugged.
"But I heard that the Malfoy senior is a death eater who has the ear of the minister. Again, your not hearing names from me." She sighed.
"Percy Jackson, you are under arrest for attacking an heir to a noble house." I sighed and held out my hands for the cuffs.
"You sure you want to do this?" She shook her head.
"I don't no, but I was instructed that I am to arrest you if you don't give up your informant." I nodded and stood with the cuffs around my wrist.
"Just so you know, I am an animagus." She nodded.
"Yes a Pegasus. That wouldn't help you escape the cells." I nodded as Madam Pomfrey came out.
"What is the meaning of this?" She yelled. I sighed.
"The minister is overstepping and using her as a tool. I wont give up what happened in my safe space." She huffed.
"Yes he is. He announced that in the hall the first day. You want him to betray children?" I raised an eyebrow.
"You said first day, how long was I out?" She sighed.
"Three days." I sighed.
"My notes are in Latin on my desk, please ask the headmaster to cover for me until I am released." She sighed and nodded.
"I will make the announcement at dinner." I nodded.
"Madam Bones, lead the way." I said as I followed her in slippers, wondering where my wands were.
Time Skip
I spent a week being tortured by some bitch in pink about who told me. Finally however a law wizard Tonks, who I learned was Auror Tonks father, got me out, citing the protection of a minor something, something. Turns out the Goblins went to him after a note from Flitwit came through. In the end however Moody ended up getting Draco to snap and threaten the dark lord when he took over, sealing his fate in Azkaban. Along with me pressing charges for the spell and Dumbledore expelling him for dark curses in the great hall, it was worth it. As soon as I was in Hogsmead I transformed and got into the castle as soon as I could. The problem was the torture had many visible effects so when I entered during lunch it was to loud gasps. I looked around before walking to the head table and getting myself food.
"Headmaster, is there notes on my desk, or do we need a meeting about how to proceed?" I asked in the complete silence of the hall.
"Professor Jackson, what happened?" I hissed in pain as Madam Pomfrey turned my head to the side and began to cast spells.
"They wanted me to tell them things. I refused and some women named Umbitch started..." McGonagall stopped me.
"Language, there are children here." I blinked a few times.
"I have dyslexia and she just kept shoving her nameplate in my face." Madam Pomfrey released my face as I sighed in relief.
"Her name is Umbridge." The headmaster supplied. I blinked.
"You mean the one who didn't teach anything to my students last year? Makes sense about the torture now. Anyway she kept pushing until my lawyer showed up. Now, my classes?" He nodded.
"You have notes on your desk. I took your example and just continued it for every class." I nodded.
"Perfect, thank you headmaster and I am sorry about the missing classes." He nodded sadly.
"We were notified about the true reason they took you by Madam Pomfrey. Your safe space is just that." I turned to Madam Pomfrey.
"Thank you, however in the future, the students don't even need to know I was approached." She nodded with a subtle smirk as I went back to my food.
"And Padfoot?" He chuckled.
"Is under the care of our Care of Magical Creatures Professor." I laughed.
"He probably hates that." Professor Plank spoke than.
"You have no idea. I will tell him you are here and let him go once I get to the kennel. Your right he is very intelligent." I nodded.
"I would appreciate that Professor." I looked out to the staring students. I sighed.
"Eat before it gets cold, I didn't think you would need to be taught that." Most began to hesitantly eat as I sighed.
Line Break
I was sitting in my chair watching the students practice the spells. They were doing shockingly well and I couldn't help but smile. When the bell ran and the door opened Padfoot ran in and jumped onto me as I laughed.
"Good to see you too boy." Finally everyone left and I shut the door before he transformed back and wrapped me in a hug.
"You reek of blood. Are you ok?" I nodded.
"I am fine, how are the students?" He chuckled.
"The blonds are fine." I sagged in relief.
"Good, how was the dog life?" He shook his head.
"Lots of poking and prodding. He was trying to figure out my breed." I blinked.
"He didn't just assume a magical black Irish wolfhound?" He shook his head.
"No he didn't. Thankfully he didn't test for an animagus transformation." I nodded with a sigh.
"Small mercies." He nodded and transformed back as I opened the door and sat in a comfy chair to relax. I was way to sore for this.
Line Break
"Mr. Jackson?" I flipped off my chair I didn't realize I fell asleep in and summoned ice around my hands before my vision cleared with Padfoot laughing and both Greengrass sisters looking at me with wide eyes. I dropped to the ground and sighed in pain.
"Girls, how can I help you?" They looked to each other before looking at me. Daphne took the lead.
"You didn't tell anyone it was us that told you, even though they tortured you. Why?" I blinked.
"Because you didn't tell me I could tell anyone. I am a man of my word." She then narrowed her eyes at me.
"And pretending you hadn't already heard it from my sister when I came in?" I shrugged.
"She didn't say I could tell anyone. Trust is hard to get, but easy to loose. If I had gone to school here I would have been a Hufflepuff for sure." She smiled.
"Thank you." I nodded and stood up.
"While I have both of you here, I would like to know about my teaching style. Am I getting the information across when I walk around or am I simply annoying you?" They smiled and we began a conversation about how the review was going and such before they left and I laid down again. I had a patrol at 1am to ensure no students are out of bed and I was already exhausted.
Line break
I shook my head as Padfoot and I circled the sixth floor.
"Honestly it isn't even a month into school yet, how are we already 7 broom closet make outs deep?' Padfoot laughed at my side as I shook my head. Every floor we climbed the compass in my pocket vibrated more so I was actually nervous about the next floor. Sure enough across from a tapestry of a dude teaching trolls to dance the compass was almost impossible to hold. I looked to Padfoot at my side.
"This is it. Tell the headmaster. The children might know about the hidden door so I will ask them in class in a few days." He barked once and took off. I sighed and went to talk to McGonagall. Hopefully she didn't mind the early wake up.
I sighed deeply after classes the next day while the Headmaster and Deputy argued back and forth. McGonagall wanted it out of 'Her' school as soon as possible, while Dumbledore wanted to be cautious about it. Finally Sirius in the corner yelled.
"Quiet!" We all turned to him. He sighed.
"We could get everyone out of the school if a Pegasus was on the grounds." He said before looking at me. I got an idea than.
"And if Defense was having a guest teacher for the upper years who happened to be a curse breaker. Than we could have the consciousness and the speed once I talk to the goblins." We turned to the older generation who looked to each other and smiled.
"Minerva, I think this would be a fair compromise." She nodded.
"I agree, however we will still need to learn about the room first." I shrugged.
"I will talk about it in detention with Harry tomorrow." McGonagall looked to me.
"Why does Harry have detention?" I shrugged.
"Not sure yet, but you know as well as I do that I can figure it out." She sighed.
"Please be gentle with the boy." I laughed.
"I understand."
Line break
Dinner that night I smiled as Padfoot walked around the hall being pet by many girls and even some boys. Suddenly he froze, as planned, by Harry. He reached into his pocket and pulled out the marauders map. Harry yelled for a second before going wide eyed as the map was brought to me. I frowned.
"Must you always try to get the entire halls attention?" I said before he sat in a beg position. I rolled my eyes and took the map before tapping it with my wand and frowning.
"I am not a disgusting Yankee who needs a shower. Weasley Wizard Wheezes, I should have known." I looked to Harry.
"Potter, detention tomorrow. There is no need for joke products in the great hall. Put this in your trunk and leave it there." I handed it back to Padfoot.
"Stop looking for trouble, please. I just got back and enjoy my sleep." Most of the hall began to laugh as Padfoot brought the map back, appearing very sad. Harry narrowed his eyes at me as he put the map back into his pocket. I gave him a slow blink and went back to eating. Padfoot circled around to the Slytherin table, and I never saw people pale as fast as they did while he walked around them.
Time Skip
After classes let out Harry, Hermione, Ron, and Neville came into my class. I blinked as McGonagall and Dumbledore quickly entered as well and froze. I shut the door with a sweep of my wand as Padfoot transformed and embraces Harry tightly. I sighed.
"Yes, this isn't really a detention, but come on 4 people. Think people think, we already had one death eater in the school be careful." The kids pales as the Headmaster turned to me.
"Now that I think of it, who was it that revealed the mark to you?" I laughed at him.
"Safe space headmaster. That includes from you." He sighed and nodded.
"Very well." Everyone looked to him in shock before I cleared my throat.
"Anyway, seventh floor across from the creepy as hell tapestry? How do we get in?" They all looked to me with smiles on. I then heard a lot about how they used the room to practice and such. I laughed.
"So that is why your class is still doing well. Ok, Ron your the strategy wizard. How do we empty the school completely without panic? Yes, my animagus form is allowed to be in it, just not revealed." He thought for a moment.
"Special announcement for care of magical creatures? With how rare a Pegasus is the rest of the students could also have the privilege to see one as well. Maybe some rides for the Newt classes?" I sighed.
"I don't know why I volunteer for this shit. Professor McGonagall, what do you think?" She nodded.
"The idea has merit. How would we approach the Professor about his though?" I shrugged.
"Don't look at me." Hermione put her hand up and I rolled my eyes.
"Spit it out Hermione." She blushed.
"Sorry, um, what if we tell the professor, not the point, simply that you wish to help him out a bit? I am sure he wouldn't tell anyone you were not a real one. He doesn't have to know about the room." I nodded.
"Not a terrible plan. How trustworthy is he though?" Dumbledore spoke.
"If you were not registered at the ministry and there wasn't already the possibility for you to be revealed, I wouldn't tell him." I sighed and rubbed my face.
"Headmistress, it is up to you to convince him of the possibility. With how rare they are I am sure he would be happy to simply see one however." She nodded with a deep sigh.
"I don't like it however I will do my part." She looked to the students.
"You four however will need to be with everyone else watching this maniac. I do not want you anywhere near the anchor." They all nodded.
"Honestly professor, we are simply happy to know and not have to worry about the true reason for a distraction." She nodded with a smile.
"Finally you three will not be involved in the main event." They chuckled and everyone left the room, but me and Padfoot. I went into my office to send off the letter to the goblins requesting the use of Bill.
Time Skip
I groaned as Plank had me in a harness and lead me around the students. Why was I in a harness? Simple Professor McGonagall went off script and told him her friend rescued me from an abusive home and stopped here on the way. Who did she get to play the part, but the mother of one Hermione Granger. I will say this though, for a muggle she was fitting in well. Of course riding me into the castle ground would have anyone assumed a witch. I had already been doing this for an hour or more and was already ready to reveal myself to get away. Mrs. Granger however came to my rescue and began to rub my neck to help me relax.
"Not to be rude, however perhaps you could apply slightly less pressure. He seems to be getting stressed."
"My apologies Madam, you are of course his owner." He handed off the lead and I neighed in relief. She nodded.
"There we go." She then climbed onto my back.
"I have noticed he likes to fly more than walk. Does anyone want to fly with me so he can stretch his wings?" Every girl's hand went up. This was going to be a long day.
Line Break
After bringing Mrs. Granger home I flew into my office window and went to bed. I was exhausted.
Time Skip
It was lunch the following day when a familiar Hawk landed on my shoulder and dropped a letter on my plate. I gave it some meat before opening the letter from the goblin king. I smiled at the information. We had now taken out six of the possible seven anchors. According to the letter he would die if he tried to make an eighth. I turned to the headmaster and McGonagall and nodded as they both sighed deeply. The only thing now was to wait for him to reveal himself hopefully I could get the school back on track before I had to, once again, enter a large scale battle.
Time Skip
I was watching the students gather on the train. This time the train would be guarded by Aurors instead of me. Everyone from the house was staying in the castle for the break. Dumbledore was at my side watching the students.
"I had hoped to get them a little further than I did in class. That bitch really fucked the school last year." He sighed.
"I know the students are not around us, however please watch your language at the school. However, yes she did. In the beginning I tried to fight it, however I was rebuffed and threatened with my position. Thankfully they..." He stopped as our eyes went wide. Smoke from the sky began to shoot at the half full train. We both ran forward as he yelled for the students to get inside the gate. I took a deep breath and narrowed my eyes. These are school children, I am not holding back. My first spell was enhanced by my heritage as ice formed a giant dome I rode up and over the train stopping them from reaching the kids. My next wrapped me in armor of ice as I took a deep breath, dozens of masked death eaters landed on my dome as I went to work. Ice sword in one hand, wand in the other. Every few seconds there was another spurt of blood.
In ten minutes there was not a single Death eater standing, however there were several groaning in pain, and my armor had been chipped away immensely. As I began to walk away I heard laughing from behind me, on top of the dome.
"I see that Lucius was not wrong about your skills." I froze and turned to him with narrowed eyes.
"So he wasn't under the imperious then." He laughed.
"Of course not. I would never give my mark to someone who was not truly loyal to me." I nodded as I saw his snake around his neck.
"Good to know." I twisted my hand and an icicle impaled it in the head before he could move. He then screamed as I blocked spell after spell with magical and ice shields as I was batted backwards. Each hit, even against my shield felt like Tyson punching me. It didn't help that his killing curses were shattering the ice as fast as I could make it. Suddenly it cut off as his eyes went wide and he dropped to his knees, a single spot of blood expanding on his robes until he fell to the ground and disintegrated. A shimmer above the spot revealed Harry removing his invisibility cloak. He looked to me while taking deep breaths.
"Piercing charm." I laughed and fell onto my back.
"You pass the class buddy. You pass." I took a deep breath and sighed. I was in a lot of pain, but as I looked out over the students I noticed some Death Eaters had gotten through. Flitwit had three downed around him, while Dumbledore had 10. McGonagall had a few as well with random objects impaled in them. I took a breath.
"Harry, get inside the gate so we can shut it. Nobody is leaving here yet." He nodded as we both slid down my dome like a slide. When I went to stand my leg gave out and I noticed a bone poking out of it. I laughed.
"That is going to hurt when the adrenaline wears off." Harry frowned.
"Can I help?" I shook my head.
"All students are to go inside the gate. Don't make me stun you and send you across." He nodded with a sad expression and walked away. There was a groan from a death eater next to me. I turned him over and encased him in ice.
"Why did you guys attack today?" He shuttered and coughed blood to the side.
"He ran out of money last week. The bank wouldn't let us in. He was blaming you." I nodded.
"He was right." I said before stunning him and giving myself an ice cast. I made it three steps before a loud crack sounded and a dozen Aurors appeared and went wide eyed. I shook my head.
"Next time be here on time you pathetic idiots. These kids could have died." One of them stepped up.
"Your under arrest for killing these people." I rolled my eyes as all the others backed away from the man. I held up my hand.
"Give me a second and I will." One twist of my hand and blood began to run down my dome quickly as several students gagged. He glared and reached for me. I grabbed his arm and pulled his sleeve up. I saw the dark mark and narrowed my eyes before shooting a severing charm through his torso.
"Let me guess, this guy delayed you all?" Several nodded, however I pulled up the limp arm showing the mark.
"Any of you want to arrest me?" They looked like bobble heads with how fast their heads were shaking.
"Send Amelia to the infirmary when she is done with the bodies. Anyone besides her enters the gates and I kill them personally." I said before limping through the gates with Flitwit and McGonagall coming with me, eyes wide. I felt a sudden click as my leg snapped back together and sighed as the flesh began to heal. I made a chair of ice after the gate shut and sat there.
"You two go take care of the kids. I am watching this gate."
"Of course my Lord." I chuckled at the half Goblin and nodded as they left. I took a breath as I finally felt the adrenaline calming down. I couldn't stop thinking though, mission complete.
Time Skip
I was sitting at the table of 12 Grimuld place with everyone around me. The fall out had been terrible for the opposition as every student had heard Voldemort say there was no imperious so the minister couldn't ignore it, though he did try. Amelia replaced him almost instantly and took a hard stance an attacking children. The summer holidays had started 2 days ago and Sirius was now upset with me.
"Are you sure you don't want to stay here? You have money, your students adore you, and your like family too us." I sighed.
"Sirius, I need to try to get back to my dimension. At the very least I need to know if my mom is ok." Remus nodded though also appeared sad. Suddenly Kreature came out with an image faded over him appearing as Hera.
"Your mother is doing wonderful Percy." I went slack jawed as she smiled at me.
"I am afraid this is very draining even with the elf supplying magic. I will give you the cliff notes. My father was scattered, you saved us all, your mother is happy and your little sister is healthy. If you had planned on waiting I would have been able to stay longer, however you were rushing to leave with little no no chance of finding us or another version of yourself." The image faded before coming back as she sighed and shook her head.
"The arch in this world connect so many dimensions that even trying to find one of the 12 other dimensions you might know would require Athena to give you odds. Not that they would sound good." I nodded with tears coming down my face.
"So my mom is ok?" She nodded.
"Yes, she is happy and watching all the versions of you on Hephaestus TV. She was most happy about you treating the goblins as equals instead of beneath you." I nodded.
"Please, tell her I love her." She nodded with a smile.
"I will. Do you plan to stay here or risk the terrible odds of the arch?" I took a breath.
"You said mom is proud of what I have done here?" She nodded.
"Yes, your step father as well. He was shocked when you turned out to be a good teacher." I laughed and wiped my face. I kneeled before her.
"Thank you Lady Hera. Thank you for letting me know. Is there anything I can do to please you here?" She smiled.
"When you Marry, stay loyal. My domain is not respected very much anymore. Never mind my husband." I chuckled and nodded.
"Of course Lady Hera, should I find someone, I will remain loyal." She nodded.
"Sorry Percy, however I need to go. As I said this is draining. And for the record, you are a wonderful nephew." The image faded before Kreature stumbled and shook his head. He nodded to me before snapping his fingers and disappearing. I dropped to the floor and cried. It wasn't long before my back was being rubbed. I looked up to see Remus with a sad smile as Dumbledore looked on looking the same.
"Does this mean you will not be going through the portal?" I shook my head with blurry eyes.
"No Headmaster. I think mom would want me to be happy if she is truly watching me, and ok. Is the position open for next year at the school?" His twinkle appeared.
"I would say yes it is. Are you sure you wish to teach again?" I nodded.
"I don't think I would ever be able to teach something else, but fighting I can definitely teach." He smiled in reply.
"I will add you to the roster." I looked around the room at everyone in the order having soft smiles. I took a deep breath.
"If I am going to stay, than I need to get some land. My father created Pegasus. I will help them to become abundant." There were several chuckles at that as I smiled. Looking around I came to one conclusion. I have already made a family here.
