"Family is not an important thing. It is everything"


It was his thirteenth Birthday, like every year, he did not celebrate his birthday, he woke, began training exhausting himself Magically and Physically. The only gifts he received were from Tracey, Blaise, Daphne, and Tonk's Family. He wrote them letters thanking them, and just tried to avoid his diet and just ate a little more rich food.

But today, he would take his first to become more powerful, today, he would embrace his family Magic, and open the Family Grimoire.

He took step towards the station where the Family Grimoire is left. The Table itself was beautifully carved, and it was protected by the Glass covering.

"Today is the day, Harry," Charlus commented, as he watched his Grandson going to the room where all the Family Grimoires had been stored.

There were four of the Grimoire which he was going unveil today, and gain the knowledge his Ancestors had protected. The Family Grimoires.

He had learned all about the Family Grimoires- the lessons with Salazar helped a lot. The Basic information for Family Grimoires to the deep study of Family Grimoires, he had read them both.

"A Family Grimoire is one of the most volatile artifacts you would ever touch, even a slight touch can cause severe damage. Sometimes, it leads to death, do something idiotic, then your sheer dumb luck will not work, and the only thing you can do is to pray to Death to spare your life, you must have enough family blood to access." Salazar had explained to him.

Charlus further told him about it, "Opening a Grimoire is the easiest thing, just drop down some blood on the Grimoire and it would open, but how the magic manifests itself in your body, is a difficult thing, the experience would none like other, you could be in sheer pain, there can be side-effects of it too. Each family magic manifests itself in different ways since you are going to unveil four of the Family Magic, including Slytherin line too, we could only wait and watch how it is going to happen to you."

He conjured a silver dagger with a wave of his wand. Conjuring was something he was learning nowadays, the learning process of Conjuring was slow but worth it, but Harry was determined that he would manage to the expert level of that till the end of the Third Year...

He moved forward towards the Four Grimoires. The Potter Family Grimoire had a cover in Red and Golden color, with a Golden Griffin engraved in the Tome.

The Black Family Grimoire was similar to the Family Ring, the color of the Tome was Black with Purple stripes present on the Tome, there was a Horned Serpent engraved in the Tome.

The Peverell Artifact was a beautiful piece of Artwork it was shining silver and Grey, with a Thestral marked upon its cover. Thestral seemed to jump on two feet... It was beautiful.

The last the Slytherin Family Grimoire was Green with Brass snakes around its border, finally, the Ferocious Basilisk mouth was open to devour anyone.

With the Dagger he had conjured, he gave himself a slight cut which was good enough, a Golden circle appeared on the Grimoire, he dropped his blood on the circle, once it was enough the circle disappeared.

He moved the Second Tome. The Black Grimoire similar to the previous purple void appeared in the Grimoire but this time it was in the shape of the Star, it took more blood than the previous blood, but disappeared eventually.

The Peverell Grimoire was in front of him, and he had to give it his blood so he did. The Peverell took less blood compared to the ones he had done previously, a Silver triangle appeared on the book which savored his blood and died down at the end when he had given sufficient of his blood.

He moved to the Tome which was of his mentor. The Green Tome was looking more violent than the others, he had known that this would difficult but he knew that there was no going back from here, so he fed his blood to the Tome, the last, an oval shape deep void appeared in the Tome which feast on his blood.

The next moment...a Golden light appeared on the Grimoires, he felt the gust of winds from all four directions which were directly crashing onto him. The Wind opened the Grimoires which stopped when the pages of the four Grimoires stopped in their middle, a brighter Golden light appeared in Grimoires.

The next he saw was Darkness.

A sudden burst of light tore all the Darkness, and his vision came back to him. He looked left and right but saw nothing, then he turned around when he saw four animals. Four Magical Animals to be precise which was guarding a sphere of bright energy...

The first animal he saw a Basilisk, it roared, realizing the presence of the creature he tried to take out his wand, but nothing came. The next he saw was a Griffin, the Griffin screeched, at next to it, there was a Thestral which flapped his wings. At the last, he saw a Horned Serpent which hissed loudly.

He refused to bow down to them, so they did. There was a Staring competition going on between them, the moments felt like an eternity, both of the sides refusing to lose.

Sometime later which felt like hours, the Creatures observed critically, very critically. Some moments later, they bowed, very reluctantly.

The light which after them began to fade, as a massive creature came into vision. The Creature looked like a lion but had the size of an elephant. It had a stripped body, with four large fangs curled out of its mouth, sharp claws, and very long unarranged hairs, and a long multicolor tail.

Immediately, Harry recognized the creature as 'A Zouwu.' As far as, Harry remembered, he had Zouwu's fang as his core, the creature could also apparate as Harry had read.

The Zowou's roared, the moment later the Five creature leaped at him, and he lost consciousness.

Harry opened his eyes, only to find himself panting heavily with immense sweat pouring down to its bare chest. He felt a huge burden at a moment, but it went away the next moment. His body was slightly shaking from the activity. He looked in front of him and found that there were quill scribblings on all the four Grimoires, his thoughts were interrupted by a voice, which recognized Cassie.

"What happened to you?" She asked him worriedly. He shook his head, "I don't know."

"You have tattoos." Arcturus suddenly stated to the young man.

"What do you mean?" Harry asked in confusion. The four of them pointed their fingers to his bare chest. His eyes widened when he saw different color on his bare chest, he called Tipsy to bring a mirror to him but not without worrying.

He adjusted a mirror in a good place, the Mirror was big enough that it could show his entire body. He gently placed the mirror from he could take a good look at his body, and he was amazed by what he saw.

His whole body was covered with Magical creatures, mainly five of them which he had met before, Horned Serpent, Thestral, Griffin, Basilisk, and Zouwu.

The picture of Zouwu was engraved on the part of his heart, whereas the long Basilisk was climbed from his shoulder bone to his waist on both his back and his chest. The Griffin manifest itself on the area of his abdomen, where his abs were present.

On his whole back, we could observe a Thestral taking his flight. On the area of his right breast, where a ferocious Horned Serpent would be hissing loudly, showing his enormous jaw.

After he saw himself, he was thinking that he was looking rather dashing, "Oath, Harry." Dorea said to the young lord.

Harry nodded before taking out his wand and declaring, "I, Hadrian James Potter, promise to uphold the name of Potter, Black, Peverell, and Slytherin, and I always will strive to Glorify the house of Potter, Black, Peverell, and Slytherin. So mote it be!" As the golden light flashed, it was the birth of Lord Hadrian James Potter, enemies of heir, be aware.

{SCENE BREAK}

The Wizengamot was wizarding Britain's high court of law and parliament. It predated the Ministry of Magic itself, dating back to the days of the medieval Wizards' Council. Its administrative headquarters were located in the Department of Magical Law Enforcement of the Ministry of Magic, whilst the trials took place in the dungeons of the lower levels. (Credits- JK Rowling and Harry Potter Fandom)

While courts were in session, members wore plum-colored robes embroidered with a silver letter 'W'. (Credits- JK Rowling and Harry Potter Fandom)

The current Minister Of Magic was Cornelius Fudge. Cornelius Fudge was a pompous, arrogant, and corrupted man. He was one of the reasons people like Lucius Malfoy, and Theodore Nott Senior were pardoned without a Trial. He also had a jealous persona, during the election of replacing Millicent Bagnold, who was a fair minister, Cornelius Fudge was chosen as the new Minister, but he had been very jealous by the amount of support Barty Crouch Senior and Albus Dumbledore received.

Albus Dumbledore entered the Wizengamot chamber, he took his seat as Chief Warlock, for the scheduled meeting which happened every week. There were few noticeable and impartial members among them which were Lord Greengrass, Lord Davis, Lady Longbottom, Regent Bones, Lord Boot, and few others.

The corruption in the Ministry of Magic was increasing at a vast amount of speed, all thanks to our hated Minister. Dumbledore was also stressed by this from the past two years there had been no competent teacher for Defense Against The Dark Arts, and the complaints of the parents were increasing quickly.

He began to recite the introduction after it was finished, "Before the meeting starts, is there anything we should be aware of?"

Amelia Bones raised her hand, she was the Head of the Department of the Magical Law Enforcing, she was impartial to all, and something which can not be ignored when with her wand, "Chief Warlock." She addressed Chief Warlock.

"Yes Regent Bones?" Dumbledore asked, even though Madame Bones and Dumbledore were on a first-name basis, they need to be professional on the Wizengamot Chamber.

"Thank You for hearing me." She said, she continued, "I have a young lord, who is here for making a statement, he asked me for assistance."

Albus nodded in acceptance, then a frown marred his features, "Very Who is this person?" He asked.

The door opened, revealing a Hadrian Potter at a height of 5 7'. He was well dressed in red-trimmed robes, with both Potter crest and Peverell crest engraved on his Robe. His posture was perfect, and he gave the vibes of high profile person.

"Mister Potter?" Dumbledore asked in surprise, the crowd was also watching silently.

"No." He denied, "Today, I am here as Lord Hadrian James Potter-Peverell." He concluded.

As Harry was staring at Dumbledore, he felt someone probing his mind, he blocked him easily, he turned around to see Lucius Malfoy glaring at him. Internally, smirking he sent Albino a legilimens attack. Lucius, thinking his shields were superior stopped forcing his presence, Oh! How wrong was he!

Harry attacked Lucius with a medium-powered attack, which was strong enough to outpower Lucius' shield, after a minute he stopped his mental assault, he smirked seeing the Albino breathing heavily, his face covered with sweat.

"Lord Malfoy? What happened?" Fudge asked concerned about him.

It was Harry who answered on behalf of the Malfoy Lord, "Well you see I and Lord Malfoy over there were playing the Game Of Mind Raping," He made sure to emphasize the last four words of the line, he continued, "And I just won." He added with a shrug, but the smirk not leaving his face.

The whole room was looking at him with disbelieve, "Didn't I, Lord Malfoy?" He said with a smug look.

Lucius clenched his jaw at this, he could not believe that this Filthy Half-breed dared to insult him, "Yes, you are correct, Potter."

Harry smirked again, this is the most fun, "Hmm...Did I hear Potter? Not titles. You should respect your superiors, Lord Malfoy, your father must have told you the difference between Most Ancient and Noble and only Noble, didn't he?" He asked Lucius.

The Purple face of Lucius was a sight to see. He looked around the courtroom somewhere smiling in amusement, somewhere sharing a knowing smirk, somewhere barely able to contain their laughter.

He noticed Lord Davis and Greengrass stiffening their laughter.

"Indeed, he has, Lord Potter," Lucius told him with a forced smile.

"Better...Anyways, the real reason which I am here for assigning proxies for the House Of Potter and Peverell," He looked to see around people sharing a surprised look, he continued, "From Halloween night, 1981, the House Potter and Peverell seats have been empty. So I would like to assign a proxy...Do I have permission, Chief Warlock?"

Dumbledore nodded, an amused smile gracing his lips too, "You have, Lord Potter."

"Very Well," He said as he looked around, "For House Of Peverell, I would like Lady Longbottom to be my proxy." He declared as he looked to Lady Longbottom.

Augusta Longbottom was a tough woman and was not new to the game of Politics, so Harry believed she would do quite well.

Dumbledore nodded in understanding, "Lady Longbottom, do you accept it?" He asked the woman.

Augusta stood up from her seat and nodded, "I do."

"You are now assigned Proxy for the House Of Peverell." He declared. Harry taking that the shit had ended, continued, "For the House Of Potter, I would like to Andromeda Tonks, as my proxy."

Soon, the door, once again opened Andromeda came looking like Regal Pureblood, "Very Well, Missus Tonks, do you accept it?"

"I do." She stated as she nodded towards Harry. Breaking down the tension, Harry spoke again, "Well, I should be going now!" He exclaimed, bowing he left at the speed which would put many purebloods to shame.

{SCENE BREAK}

This past week was hectic for Harry, he had been continuously learning the Magical theory for OWL's of Potions, Transfiguration, Charms, and Defense Against, he would also be opting for Dueling, firstly he would get an extra OWL, also Dueling required no theory, just some basic rules. All the things in Dueling depend on your practical skills.

He had sent a letter to Griselda Marchbanks, head of Wizarding Examination Authority, about him having OWLs, and the reply came positive, not that she could deny it, he was Lord Of Two Most Ancient and Noble Houses, actually publically only.

Harry was sure, that he would be able to pass his Exams practically, but he was not sure theoretically, that was why he was learning the Exam course, yes the Occlumency was helping but he had yet to master Occlumency to achieve an Editec Memory.

So, here he was learning all the course, slowly his mind drifted away, today the events occurred this past, him trusting fewer people, making new people, breaking friendship with Ron, becoming powerful enough to protect more people, becoming bolder. Doing better in class, and becoming an honorable student, he had a lot of mistakes in his past, he knows that and there was no denying it, it was proof of his foolishness.

But this time he was sure, that he had made the right choice.

{SCENE BREAK}

Griselda Marchbanks was a woman in her sixties, and surprisingly she had received a letter from Hadrian James Potter, the boy, no, the man which was causing Havoc in Ministry. She also was there, when he insulted Lucius Malfoy in front of the whole Wizengamot. Honestly, she never liked that man, firstly- he being a pardoned Death Eater, secondly- that man was too much corrupted.

With another surprise, he had asked her a favor, for his OWLs, it was very strange for someone to attend OWLs before the desired year, and in the third year was something to brag about. So, here she was waiting for the boy.

Harry flooed to the Department of Wizarding Examination Authority, though he had learned to apparate, it would seem like he was bragging about his abilities.

He was wearing an informal dress, comfortable to him since there was Dueling OWL too. He just had his wand, now because the letter mentioned that he would only need his wand, and the rest of the accessories would be provided.

He had left Mira in the Manor, much to the disappointment of her, but he did not want to showcase his Parseltongue ability, some people took it as a bad sign.

He greeted the woman with Wizarding customs, kissed her knuckles, she gave him an appraising look, "So, Mister Potter or should I say, Lord Potter?" She asked with a mocking laugh.

Harry shrugged in dismiss, "Mister Potter is fine."

"Very well. Mister Potter, I believe you are here for your OWLs," At his nod, she continued, "So, you have applied for five OWLs including Charms, Transfiguration, Defense Against Dark, Potions, and Duelling." He stated.

As they moved forward, they came across an Olive-skinned woman which looked in her late thirties.

Griselda came between them, "This," she gestured to the woman, "is Professor Tofty, she would be taking your Charms, Transfiguration, and Potions." He kissed the knuckles of the woman.

Griselda interrupted, "As for your Defense and Dueling I would personally take them, don't worry. Your accessories are present here, the paper would be provided to you later, of course, firstly you would give your theoretical exams, and practical later. Please take the seat."

Harry took the seat and placed his hands on the desk, he was rather feeling nervous at the time, it was not every day you would give your OWLs. He was sure that he would have no problem in getting Outstanding in practical, but in theory, he was not sure. But taking them would give him a lot of time to practice new arts.

The paper in front of him, along with quill and ink, he took the paper and a voice shouted behind him,

"BEGIN!"

The first paper was on Transfiguration, most of the questions were based on Vanishing spells and some questions from higher-level Conjuration, If Harry should say that truth then the sample papers he had attempted, in past were easier than these, but for God's sake, he did know it.

He was more excited for the practical exam but he knew he needed to finish them first, to go up.

He completed the paper in 48 minutes, and after revising it, gave it to the teacher.

Charms were easier than he had expected, theoretically because all the questions were based on the actions of the certain spells, though some questions asked more creative usage of them. He finished the paper quickly, having a lot of time.

'Potions' was toughest, he would say. Firstly- he was not good at Potions, and potion required a lot of time, and patience, which he did not have, it was all thanks to his mother Potin Book, that he had been able to attend the OWLs for it if he did not have it, there was no chance that he would be able to pass potions.

The Defense, Harry observed, was the easiest for him, it was pretty weird since Defense came more natural to him than the people who struggle at the subject. He was pretty impressed by his Defense skills. Finally, all of his written OWLs were done, he handed them to Professor Tofty, who after some reading gave him an appraising look, which he took as a good sign.

Sometime Later...

"Well, Mister Potter, Tofty is checking your exam papers, so I am here to take your practical exam, so first we would start with Transfiguration." Seeing that he was going to stand up, she commanded, "Keep Sitting!"

Harry did as he was asked. Sometime later Griselda Marchbanks came with a rat. "I would like you to turn a rat into a goblet, of course, more points for additional work, of course."

Nodding, he took out his hand, he froze the rat non-verbally, which didn't go unnoticed by Griselda, and her eyes widened slightly, very slightly. Remembering that Magic was based on intent, he created a visual image of what he wanted, with another flick of his wand, the rat was transfigured into a nice Goblet, landing on the desk with a 'Clunk' sound.

The Goblet was made of bronze, with both Peverell and Potter crest engraved on both sides. "Excellent Mister Potter, as it is done, now I would like you to perform the best transfiguration, you can perform."

Shrugging his shoulder, he pointed his wand to the quill he was previously writing from. Rather than conjuring, considering it as a show-off. He took some time to visualize what he was going to transfigure quill into. He closed his eyes, calmed himself, and flicked his wand.

The flick of Wand caused the quill to transfigure into a small model of well-detailed Potter Manor. He was proud of the result, he took the small model Manor, and when he turned around to see Marchbanks, she was wide-eyed.

"Ahem. This is exceptional work, Mister Potter!" She exclaimed, impressed whilst examining the Model. He nodded in acceptance, proud of his work.

Few moments of silence passed between them, "Now, Mister Potter, let us move onto Charms."

She led him to a chamber, which looked like a dueling chamber whilst gesturing towards the Dummy in front of her, she spoke, "Please use the Reductor Curse on the dummy." She stated.

Harry lazily waved his wand and cast the curse, it was so powerful that it blasted the whole dummy at once. He noticed the wide-eyed examiner and gave her a wink.

"Hmm... A summoning charm, if you please." She requested, pointing towards a wand holster placed far away from his position. He placed his wand back on his holster, Griselda gave him a questioning look, he just smirked and just raised his hands, a second later, the Wand Holster was on his hand.

She could not overcome her shock, that boy was doing it all Wandlessly, Bloody hell!

She coughed a little, "Mister Potter kindly don't show off your skills." Harry gave her a small laugh at this.

"Let's move onto Defense," they walked around a little when they came near a dark-skinned man, he was an auror which was evident from his badge, "This is is Senior Auror Kingsley Shacklebolt, he would fire some curses at you, and you would have to block them, by Protego shield, Understood?"

Nodding, he moved forward, they both took a fighting stance, Harry knew that he could cast the shield wandlessly, but decided to ignore it and use a wand.

The man fired a stunner, he cast the shied non-verbally, the stunner came and dissolved into his shield. The man cast a Fire Making spell, which was dissolved into his shield. Then, the last, the man cast a Reductor, it gave his shield a Minor.

Griselda nodded in approval, "Now for your further Defense Exam, we had decided that the Defense and Duelling would be taken together. So, a duel would take place between you and Auror Shacklebolt."

Harry was slightly shocked when he heard it, but internally smirked again when it would test his skills, if the man was a Senior Auror then there would be more Senior Aurors guarding which would give him a clue of their power levels.

Raiding Azkaban to save Sirius would be Do and Die, so if he would not be able to defeat him then, he would not raid the Azkaban. His thoughts were interrupted when the man, and introduced, "Senior Auror Kingsley Shacklebolt, at your service." He shook his hand firmly, "Don't lose hope if you lost, kid." He added.

Harry smirked again, "Do not worry, I will not." He told the man.

"The duel would end, when one of you in you two would be unconscious, lethal spells can be used, but no permanent damage should be done. BEGIN!"

They both took the fighting stance, as Harry shrugged, he took out his wand, placed it a little far apart to get the flexibility, Kingsley had his wand a little closed to him, his opponent took the attacking stance, so he took the defending stance, he had a perfect plan, to defeat the man without a scratch.

Harry defended himself first, as the man fired a stunner at him, he swatted the spell easily, the man again fired Reductor Curse, Harry blocked it easily.

It was his time, to attack, as he cast a chain of Reductor, Bone Breaking, disarming curses. The chain took his opponent by surprise, as the man swatted the disarming charm, but was barely able to dodge the Reductor curse and Bone Breaking Curse.

He cast the fog making Charm, Fumos Maxima. It covered the whole arena with Black toxic Fog, using his Mystical Eye he spotted the Blue clothed man, he had a white with a shade of red aura around him, carefully he moved without making much sound.

His opponent was busy clearing the smoke, he was able to clear the smoke before Harry sent a stunning, and disarming spell at him, he was hit by the Stunning spell.

Harry was surprised to found that the Auror was still conscious, he used Conjuration and conjured a wall to block the disarming spell. This took him aback. He could use Conjuration but he did not wish, as it would attract too much attention.

Dismissing the thought, he sent a Bombarda Maxima. It destroyed the wall, but as the pieces of the wall shattered, Harry thought he got the Auror, but in an excellent display of magic, Kingsley cast a shield which blocked the shards of the wall in his passage.

The young lad again sent a powerful Reductor, Blasting curse, and Fire-making curse. It weakened his opponent's shield, but he was surprised when he was pushed from the back, it was like- a Blasting hex was cast from the back.

He looked around to see no one, he glanced in front of him and saw Kingsley, grinning. 'Wandless, huh?' He mused internally. Giving a quick reaction he cast another Blasting and Bone Breaking curse, as the man tried to block it, Harry repositioned himself and stood up.

Thinking of ending the duel, Harry sent Bone Breaking, Disarming Curse, the man cast another shield, but Harry wasted no time and sent a combination of hex, jinxes, and curses, Kingsley only had time to defend himself.

Harry fidgeted in annoyance, he cast one dark curse 'Ex Lateribus Illis Cadentibus' a powerful offensive curse, it causes a dozen of bricks to fall on the entity on which it had been cast.

Harry watched in anticipation, as the bricks started to fall on the Dark-skinned Auror, there were dozens of them, Kingsley managed to banish a few of them as a few of them fell upon him.

Not wanting to leave a chance, Harry again cast Fumos Maxima. Harry again used his Mystical eyes, to see through the Aura, it looked more. With some lighting speed, he cast a Reductor spell on him. He watched as the man was blasted across the room.

He silently ran to him, as the Fog began to fade, Harry came face to face with him. His hands were roaming in the hope to find his wand. Grinning at him, Harry came near to his ear, and whispered, "I won."

He stated, with a punch on his sweaty face the man fell unconscious. Harry turned around to look, both his Examiners clapping whilst giving him appraising looks.

Griselda stopped the clap, as she motioned a healer to Kingsley, she came near him, "I had not expected you to beat a Senior Auror, especially someone like Auror Shacklebolt." Griselda said with a small on her face.

By now, Tofty stopped the clapping, "Me too, Mister Potter. That was a spectacular display of Magic, you used the charms perfectly, and more importantly creatively."

Harry offered the woman, a grateful nod. As Kingsley was woken up, he could not help but gasp, he had not accepted the kid to match him, much less beat him. Harry watched the gaped face of the Auror and could not help but snort.

After Kingsley was able to stand up, he rubbed his face, the impact of the punch was still working, he was only able to mutter, "You won kiddo," before the healer shoved a SkeleGrow Potion inside his mouth.

His thoughts were interrupted by a familiar voice, "You have done the Examination, and you are free to go now...Your results would be posted via an Owl."

Offering the two Professors, and the Auror, a grateful nod Harry. Harry flooed back to his Manor.

{SCENE BREAK}

Harry found himself in Knockturnal Alley, wearing a heavy Glamor. His hairs were red, with him having a mustache and a beard. His eyes were blue, and he had shortened his height, he was going to the Map Shop.


Harry Potter was in turmoil, he was sitting on his living room's sofa with multiple books on the Glass Table, he had just given his OWLs, and now he was facing a big problem in raiding Azkaban. According to his sources, there was no information regarding the location of high-security cells of Azkaban.

It would be a big problem if he did not know that where were High-security spells, he had checked various books on Auror training, magical training, let alone one in Azkaban, but there was no mention of locations of cells in Azkaban.

Arcturus Black frowned at his Great-nephews annoyed state, it was very less when Harry lost his composure, and when he did just understand, there was a big problem in front of him, "What happened, Harry?" He asked in his deep, heavy voice.

His nephew threw a book on the other sofa, taking his hand to his head, he massaged a bit before answering, "I have told you that I would be raiding Azkaban to save Sirius." Arcturus proudly nodded, Harry continued, "Just there is no map of Azkaban!" He exclaimed as he threw more paper on the ground.

Arcturus thought for a long minute, until an idea or a suggestion came to his wand, "Why don't you go to Knockturnal Alley's Map Shop."

Harry shook his head exasperatedly, "Already checked."

Arcturus' frown deepened, "You have checked the basement too?" He asked calmly.

"Yeah...basement...what basement?" He said confused. His great-uncle facepalmed, "There is also a Basement, forgoing you would say 'Clactmus' to the Shopkeeper."

Nodding, he repeated that word in his sleep.


He reached the to the shop. He stood in front of the counter. "How can I help you, sir?" The Shopkeeper queried. Harry got closer to Shopkeeper, he reached near his ears, with a very Harry accented voice, he spoke:

"Clactmus." Nodding gravely at the word, with the wave of the wand, The Shopkeeper unfolded the passageway to the Basement. Nodding to the man, he left.

Harry entered a rather shady place. It was dark, there was a single dim light, he took out his wand from its holster, and cast a Lumos.

Various maps were lying on the ground, the desk, and almost everywhere. Then, an old man came to his vision. The man had very grey hairs, with a wrinkly face, his eyes were Milky Blue, he had small fitted on his eyes.

He was startled by such a deep, and fearful voice, "My, My, you have unusually good Glamor, it has been years since I find about you. Who are you, good man?" He asked him, with a sinister grin.

Coughing slightly, he did best to make his voice frightful, "That does not matter, I am here for a map, and you would have gold, you would also give me Secrecy oath."

The Old man raised an eyebrow, "And what that map would be?" He asked.

"The Map of Azkaban."

A sinister grin made his way to the man's face, he grinned devilishly, "As you wish, Mister Unknown." He dreamily said, "As you wish."

53 Minutes Later

"This is the map." He said gesturing towards the map, "and it would be of 500 gold pieces." Giving him the gold, he asked, "Oath?"

The man smirked, "You are perspective. Very well." He took out his wand, and gave the oath, Harry exited the shop, satisfied with the map.

{SCENE BREAK}

Harry found himself in the forest of Potter Manor, he went deeper inside the forest, avoiding the trees, it was still early for the day to start, it had not been dawn yet.

Harry was hoping that he could get on a better relationship with the Griffins, for what he did read, that the wands of Azkaban were really strong, and he did not think, that he was ready to break wards yet. So, he hoping that he could fly to Azkaban with the help of a Griffin.

He delves deep into the forest, he could smell the fragrance of mud, which gave him the feeling that rainfall had occurred recently. He heard the sound of water, it was very low, but still there, moving through the bushes he saw a pond.

It was a large pound between the trees, but it did not get his attention. The main thing which got his attention was the Griffin which was currently sitting near the pond. The Griffin, of course, heard the sounds of the movement made.

It was a beautiful Griffin, his whole body was gold. With some spectacular gold wings, and long beak, and killing talons. The Griffin screeched at his presence and flapped his wings.

Harry refused to bow down and stood proudly with a perfect posture, but the creature was very proud and stubborn, he flapped his wings and screeched again.

Harry carefully made his movements, he slowly but surely made his way to the creature, as he got enough close to it, he bowed in obedience and respect. The creature looked at him suspiciously, he screeched but as there were no moments for the unknown entity for him, it bowed to him.

Slowly, he made his way to the creature, the creature was slightly skeptical but let him close to it. As Harry came enough close to the creature, he raised his hand, but was surprised rather than him moving, the creature moved as it rubbed his head on his hand.

Harry laughed at the sudden movement, but composed himself, he petted the Griffin a little longer, until he reluctantly rode it!

As the Griffin started to fly, he felt amazing, he felt incredible, he felt free!

{SCENE BREAK}

Harry was eating breakfast as the OWL landed in front of him. It was a thick envelope, having a Ministry seal in it, it was addressed to him!

He opened the letter, rather fastly, and began to read it.

Harry smirked as he read the result in front of him, he had done all things he had planned for the summer, except One.

The Raid Of Azkaban. Let the Raid began!


AUTHOR'S NOTE

Yes, I think, this should be enough for this chapter, as you must have observed that the next chapter would be on Azkaban Raid.

Though, I would be updating 'The Sole Heir Of Peverell's'

Until then See ya!

Thank You
