AN:/ Welcome to another amazing chapter of Dark Souls. I am so proud of this chapter you have no idea. I didnt want to stop writing but knew I had to save some for other chapters. I am watching Jeepers Creepers 2 while watching this chapter. And, my sister had an amazing graduation. She got an associates and 4 certificates. I dont own the rights to Harry Potter that belongs to JK Rowling. Enjoy chapter 6 of Dark Souls!
Harry's point of view:
I walk down the streets of diagon alley Hermione's hand in my own. I was going to be a protective asshole for a while, no doubt the twins would be the same. We have been without my angel for fifteen years I wasnt about to be separated from her again. Especially if this was our only shot to make things right. The Weasley's were disappointed when we told them that we wouldnt be joining them for the world quitdish cup, Fred and George didnt have a choice in going but maybe it would be different since there dad was getting checked out. We make it Gringotts and go and see a teller. "Ah Mr. Potter nice to see you again how may Gringotts be of assistance" a goblin I reconized right away as Griphook.
He didnt have any teeth sticking out of his mouth and he had a red ribbon tied around his finger. Maybe it was a sign of marriage in Goblin nation. "Yes Griphook I have come to see the Potter case manager, and my friend here wants to talk to the Ravenclaw manager. There is rumor she is the last decendent of Rowena Ravenclaw." I tell him.
He nods, "I can feel her strong magic so it may be possible young lady your finger if you dont mind" he says to her. She looks at me and it makes my chest puff out in pride and possiveness. I nod at her and she gently places her hand in his and he pricks her finger. And, heals the injury. "Ah yes Hermione Jean Granger muggleborn your family has some magical beings in it but you are the last decendent of the great Rowena Ravenclaw. We will get you a key ready for your new vaults. And, I presume you are with Mr. Potter we will make sure the case directors are the same." he says.
I clear my throat and look at him, but of them have there eyes on me. "In no way do I wish to be disrespectful but interrupting you Mr. Griphook." he looks at me in shock when I give him proper manners. "But, me and my hopefully soon to be bethrothed know nothing of the wizarding world. And, you have taken quite good care of me since I came to know about all this when Mr. Hagrid literally knocked down my door five years ago. So, it only seems right that the goblin who has taken care of me and all my needs be the Potter and Ravenclaw caseholder dont you think Mr. Griphook" I ask him.
He nods, "Yes of course it only makes sense you dont want to feel as if your gold is unsafe. If you wait just a moment I have to go speak to the head of Gringotts to get the paperwork started, and to get an office so we may speak in more of a private setting" he says to me.
He shuts his window of his till and I feel Hermione lean into me I look into her eyes, and only see fear. I look over and see the Weasley's coming our way. "Ah Harry dear I heard you refused to come to the game with us. And, you refused to spend the rest of the summer at the burrow." Molly says. I stand slightly in front of Hermione and she grips my shirt I would understand these people right out killed her. "Oh Hermione dear lovely to see you I didnt know you were getting along with Harry this summer" she says with a sneer.
Before I could respond Griphook came and could feel the tension in the air. "Mr. Potter the room is available if you are ready will the Weasley clan be joining us for this conversation?" he asked.
I shake my head, "No this is Potter business and they are not apart of this, if you could have someone show them out. I am feeling unsafe in there presence at the moment" I tell him.
He nods and summons for the goblin guards, "Oh Harry dear you dont mean that we are your only family after all" she says. "Your not old enough to be dealing with this bank issue I will handle it I am your magical guardian after all" she says.
I want to laugh in her face, "Actually Minor Lady Molly Weasley" she looks at me gobsmacked. "I have learned that though Sirius is a convected felon on the loose since Remus was close to my parents he would be next in line to be my magical guardian. So you have to say in banking needs. I will be asking for a account activity Gringotts does take in account how much is taken out and by whom so if you did take money from the Potter account without my permission that would be thievery and I would have to get in touch with the DMLE. Now please Griphook if you wish the Potter accounts to remain at Gringotts you will remove these Weasel's from my presence or me and my Lady will take our leave and a Potter will never bank here again" I tell him no joking in my voice.
Griphook raised his hand and goblins were coming left and right, "NO YOU HAVE NO RIGHT I DEMAND YOU RELEASE ME AND MY CHILDREN AT ONCE" She screams in her banshee like voice.
It makes me cringe at the sound. I look to Griphook and nod for him to lead the way no way was I putting my back to a soon to be no name. Especially when she has a wand. We wander the halls and I keep Hermione close to me she seems shaken up. We come to a room and are seated. "Mr. Griphook I know this might seem like a lot to ask but can me and Ms. Granger-Ravenclaw have a moment alone she seems quite shaken up and some water and chocolate you can take any funds needed from the Potter account." I tell him.
He nods, "Yes I have to go get the will and the account write up so I will bring the items you requested at no charge of course. It's only decent to ask if your client would like some refreshments anything for you Lord Potter?" he asks.
I nod, "If you dont mind a spot of mint tea would be lovely thank you Griphook" I tell him. He nods and shuts the door. I soundproof it and bring Hermione onto my lap and hold her close running my hands through her hair and down her back. "Shhhh Hermione all is well I will protect you and nothing and no one will hurt you I promise just breath for me my angel" I tell her.
I can feel her fighting the tears and she curls into me. "It was fifteen years for you but for me it felt like yesterday feeling frozen and it falling on me he was supposed to be our friend Harry and he killed me in cold blood like my life didnt matter" she crys out. "I dont want to be this weak little girl I want to be the strong woman you deserve but whenever I look at them all I see is me dying over and over again" she whispers.
I nod and I understand her grief, "Hermione you are the strongest and bravest witch I know. And, someone we both trusted broke that trust. We have to pretend for a little while just until the the names are announced and then he will end the friendship saying I am a liar and then our friendship is over for good. Can you last that long Hermione? Tell me what I can do my love I would give you the world if I could take all your worries away I would in a heartbeat I love you so much angel" I tell her.
She smiles against me, "Just hold me and never let me go Harry I love you so much and I am scared somehow they will be successful again and I will die again. What if this is our only chance that death is giving us. We need to make this count. But, when I see Ronald or Molly or Ginny and if I even think about Dumbledore fear digs into me and that terrifies me Harry" she tells me.
I nod in understanding, "We will make it out of this together. We can tell the whole wizarding world to fuck off save Cedric and clear Sirius's name. Then say fuck you all and get away. My parents wouldnt have wanted me to be a slaughtered lamb" I tell her.
She nods, "I know Lily bitched about it for hours saying she was going to castrate Dumbledore then hang him by his balls and let the scavengers get up and slowly eat him for all eternity never dying but always in pain and that would have brought sweet music to her ears." she says with a giggle. "I have a theory you could tell Griphook about the headaches in your scar and if they see the darkness they might have a way of getting rid of it" she says.
I grin at her, "Yes that means no dying good for me we will go with your plan." I lean my forehead against her own, "How did I survive fifteen years without you Hermione Jean Granger?" I ask her.
She gives me a sad smile, "You could literally say I was the woman of your dreams." she then kissed my cheek "I dont want to go fifteen years without you Harry James, and I would rather not die this time so if you wouldnt mind not dying and I will try and do the same that would be great." she says to me.
The door begins to open and she leaves my lap and goes to sit in her own seat. "So Mister Potter it seems the original keeper ElfClaw tried reaching you multiple times through the course of your life to reach you but you were unreachable. Probably your magical guardian or the person who claimed themselves to be your magical guardian didnt deem fit to let you know no matter your hear now. Let us begin" he says pulling out a paper, "This is the final will and testimony or Lily Potter nee' Evans and James Charles Potter. To our best friend Padfoot as the godfather we leave you with Harry James Potter Godric Hallow and the castle in Italy and 1 million pounds each year in taking care of pronglett. To Remus help Sirius raise our son your our only hope for him not to be a prangster. We leave you Potter manor and 3 million pound. Find a nice woman and settle down and have lots of little pups. Peter Pettigrew if your still alive you little rat we heard from Severus you betrayed us after we made you the secret keeper and all the proof is in the file in case they charge anyone but you die in a hole in aszkaban heres a nut for your congical visits youll not doubt be getting from a roomy. And our wonderful son we leave you all the rest in the vaults and a small island named Briar Rose off the coast of Costa Rica. And, a painting of us which we had made not long after we got married. So you can talk to us, but remember its not truly us son. We are so sorry we couldnt watch you grow up and we love you so much. List of people to take over Harry if we were to die: 1. Sirius Black (Godfather), 2. Alice Longbottom (Godmother), 3. Remus (dont care about your furry problem mate), 4. Severus (Take him on Remus's wolfie nights please), 5. Nacrissa, 6. Minerva McGonigall . If none are available we wish for Gringotts to take him in. Harry James Potter is never and I mean never go to Petunia Dursley! Witness: Albus Dumbledore. So mote it be" he read.
I was searing at this point. I had been right when the I told the Weasley's that Remus was my magical guardian he should have raised me. I roar in anger and pain I should have never been sent there, "I want to push all charges against Albus Dumbledore for child abuse, child neglet, and abandoment. He left me in a basket on the Dursley's door step the night of my parents murder. He was a witness to know Sirius was an innocent man and yet let him rot in aszkaban. I wish to claim my lordship so the house of Potter can take him before the wizgonot" I sneer.
Griphook nods, and removes the ring from the box, Hermione stands beside me fire and passion in her eyes. Theres the woman I fell in love with, "The house of Ravenclaw stands with the house of Potter in these proceedings." she says to him.
He brings out two rings handing them to us, We slip them on our ring finger on the right hand, "I Harry James Potter of the house of Potter claim my lordship so mote it be" I say.
The ring sizes itself onto my and I smile it was done, "I Hermione Jean Granger-Ravenclaw of the house of Ravenclaw claim my ladyship so mote it be" she says and like mine it resized itself.
I kiss her hand, "Sooner or later preferable sooner I will have Lady Potter ring on your finger Ms. Granger" I say to her.
She grins at me, "Cant wait to rub it in her face Mr. Potter now I believe Mr. Griphook has more to say to us and we must be leaving soon if we are going to meet with Augusta and Nevile." she tells me.
My eyes widen and I nod taking my seat looking at Griphook expentally, "It seems that Dumbledore and the Weasleys have been withdrawing large sums of money from your account since your parents murder I have a feeling you didnt know of this?" he asks. I shake my head well it wasnt a lie my past self didnt my future self learned this while torturing Ronald. "Very well I will be putting a ban on all action unless it is from you and I am guessing you want Ms. Granger to have access as well" he asks me.
I nod and Hermione starts to complain, "It will be your money soon enough my love" I start could be a week if I have anything to say about it, "And, its more money then I could spend in twenty life lines" I tell her. She nods and I stand I help her stand and tuck her arm within my own she did it like any pureblood witch would and I looked at her in pride and love, "I wish all the gold taken from me and gringotts to handle it all if there is nothing else me and my lady are going to take our leave" I say to him.
He nods, "May your enemies fall at your feet" he says to me.
I grin, "And, may your vaults always be full of gold" I tell him. "See you soon my friend" I say then think of something what is the Weasleys are waiting for us, "Would you mind if we floo to st. Mungos in case we have unwanted vistors waiting for us?" I ask him.
He nods vigorously, "of course young lord right this way." he says leading us to a fireplace. "I hope to see you soon Mr. and Mrs. Potter" he says.
We nod and I grab floo powder and pull Hermione with me not wanting to be separated from her a moment. "Saint Mungos" I cry out. So glad to be away from the Weasleys and hoping that Hermione's mentality can hold out for a month. And, I was quite serious about taking her away from this part of the wizarding community. I hear Costa Rica is quite beautiful this time of year.
(AN:/ I thought about ending it here but I promised you my amazing reader's Neville and bringing the Longbottoms back I am going to keep that promise plus my last chapter was so short love y'all)
Hermione's Point of View:
We make it through to St. Mungos and I smile over at Harry and then I see Augusta and Neville. I run over and hug Neville close to me. I didnt even think about how it would look in society or how Harry might react. I just seen one of my best friends who looked over Harry for me when I couldnt. I know he didnt remember, but I did and that made all the difference to me. I then pulled away and Harry pulled me back to his side. I give him a small smile and he gives me a nod. "Wait when did this happen?" Neville asks.
Harry smiles, "We had been talking all summer and I just finally got the balls to ask her to be my girlfriend and this beautiful woman said yes." he says.
Neville grins, "Took you long enough I thought for sure it would be next year though when she hit sixteen." he says with a laugh. "Now you said you created a potion that could give me back my parents how is it possible?" Neville asks uncertainty in his voice.
I look right at him, "Can we go to there room and talk I dont feel safe talking about it so open" I ask him.
Augusta nods, "Yes this is family business, and so I agree let us go to your parents room Neville" she says taking his arm, "Let us lead the way" she says to him.
He nods and we walk to the ICU of the wizarding hospital. And, there lays Frank and Alice Longbottom unconsious and trapped in there own minds. "So I had been doing research on Frank and Alice with Nevilles express permission of course" I tell them. And, Neville nods in agreement. "Well it says right in there file that both have a rare allergy to honey. And, in the potion that is supposed to help them it has a large amount of honey in it." I say.
Augustus eyes go wide, "So this hospital is taking the Longbottom money on purpose and have been poisioning my son and daughter in law how do we reverse it?" she asks.
I sigh, "Well this potion I have created uses the same in the potion except instead of honey maplewood. Its rare but I was able to find enough. I will feed them and I will need you each to stand by each of them Augusta by Frank and Neville by Alice. And, push your magic into them slowly it should awaken them." I tell them.
They dont need to be told twice and I start with Frank first and I feel Augusta pushing her magic into Frank, "How long?" she asks me.
I smile at her, "Just while I pour it in it wont be much but the little bit will help there recovery" I tell her. She nods in understanding, "Ready?" I ask. She nods and I begin to pour the potion and rubbing his throat. And, then I move over to Alice. Neville nods before I can even ask and I pout it down Alice's throat helping her swallow it.
We didnt have to wait long and Neville lets out a cry when Alice's eyes come to focus. "N...Neville" she cries out in a whisper. I hug Harry close I had done it all the learning and planning I had been able to give Neville back his parents. I could help the pride and happiness that ran through me and the look Neville and Augusta look at me in thanks and tears of joy down there face. I knew if we ever needed them they would be there and I couldnt be happier. I look at Harry we had made the first of many positive changes in this new time line I couldnt wait to see what we would do next. He kisses my forehead I couldnt wait to see what mine and Harry's life awaits together in the future. Together Forever Always!
