Reginald Kyle Sr. P.O.V.
Sitting in a nicely decorated office Reginald Kyle read the rapport on the first meeting between Helena and her father. He chuckled at his daughters description of the similarities between the two of them. And speaking of his daughter he was pleased that she solved the mystery about the identity of her son in law for him.
Harry James Potter son of and heir of James Charles Potter Lord of the ancient and Noble house of Potter.
Twin of the girl that survived the killing curse and defeated a dark lord when she was one.
Reginald snorted as he read the last part.
He thought that there was more to the story and he was probably right because a certain "defeater of his own lover who was a dark lord" had disclosed the information to the public.
He hoped to see that man's face when he found out about the marriage between house Potter and the Kyle family.
He just had send a letter to lord Potter about what had happened. He hoped that said lord was not too much of a Dumbledore worshipper.
Potter manor P.O.V.
James and Lily were having breakfast with their daughter when a regal looking owl flew into the kitchen.
After relieving said owl of the letter her was carrying James frowned when he saw the seal that was on the letter.
"I think that the news about the marriage of Harry will be out sooner than we wanted it." He said to his wife and daughter.
Looking up from her breakfast his daughter asked "Why dad?"
Showing both the seal on the letter he replied. "If I remember correctly this the seal of the secretary of the American department for International cooperation."
"So the news will be out by the end of the day." Concluded his wife.
"I fear so." Replied James.
Breaking the seal and opening the letter James face went from glum to smirking while reading the letter.
"Dad. What is the letter saying?" asked his daughter with anticipation in her voice.
Giving the letter to his wife who raised an eyebrow in questioning James started to chuckle while replying to Euphemia. "The drunk luck Euphemia. The bloody drunken Potter luck."
A moment later Lily joined her husband in his merriment.
Not understanding what her parents meant Euphemia snatched the letter from her mother hands and read it.
Dear lord Potter,
My name is Reginald Kyle and I hope this letter finds you well.
The reason of me writing you is the unplanned marriage between your heir Harry James Potter and my granddaughter Helena Martha Wayne. I suspect that said marriage was a spur of the moment thing involving heavy drinking on the part of said newlyweds.
Because both our families our somewhat renowned I would like to meet with you to talk about how we should proceed.
Please send me a message with a time and place to meet at your convenience.
With regards,
Reginald Kyle the II
P.S.
It seems the Potter family luck has done his part because even if you decide to disown your heir the new couple is already financially independent to the great despair of my daughter her lover.
Euphemia snickered as she read the last part of the letter.
Looking at her parents she saw them discuss something under an anti-eavesdropping spell.
A moment later her parents had seemingly come to an agreement and dropped said spell.
"Euphemia be a dear and inform the headmaster your lessons for the weekend and next two weeks are cancelled. Tell him we have to go away for a bit of inspecting some of our holdings in Canada and are required to make a few appearances. Both your brother and yourself are also required to make appearances." James told her.
"Yes father." The girl replied.
Las Vegas P.O.V.
Meeting her father for the first time had surprised Helena. She had not known that her father had been a muggle and a very famous one to boot too.
It should have not come as a surprise to her of course she knew the social circles her mother preferred to travel in when not doing her job.
Helena found it hilarious that they had won most of their winnings at her father's casino.
Harry had been amused by it to, but was rather intimidated by the man who was his father in law.
It seemed the man had perfected his glare and loved to use it on Harry.
At the moment she and Harry were in the suite of her parents who were having a discussion with both Sirius and Remus and his wives.
And while her father showed a playboy attitude to the world it seemed to be mostly an act. A very good one in her opinion.
He had her mother and the other adult magicals explain most of his questions and if she was correct there might be more wedding bells in the future.
Beside her Harry was following the talking between the adults to and seem to make mental notes the same way she did when she listened to the lectures of her teachers.
She felt Harry stiffen for a moment before he reached into a pocket and retrieved the communication mirror he had used in the hotel.
"Hello father. Has mother calmed down yet?" she heard him ask.
A voice coming from the mirror made the room quiet down.
"She has Harry. I hope you are well and know that you and your wife are in the middle of causing quite the international scandal?"
"If you mean that I married the granddaughter of the American secretary of the department of international cooperation while in Las Vegas then you are correct." Harry replied.
"Indeed we will meet you this weekend. We are going to inspect some of our holdings in Canada and travel across the border to meet your wife's grandfather."
"I see, Where will you be staying?"
"The Gotham residence. We will arrive on Friday after attending a meeting in Ottawa on Thursday. Keep your head down till then."
"I will."
"Good and don't forget the protection charms. I am much too young to be a grandfather."
Laughter rose around the room after that statement.
"I remember a certain couple that had to marry because they liked to experiment a bit too much." Added Sirius.
"Would a certain boarder of the pound keep himself out of the adult conversation." Said the voice from the mirror.
"if said boarder had been thinking like an adult those two would be dating and not married," added another clearly female and annoyed voice from the mirror.
Said voice continued. "I think your wife will be overjoyed when she will receive your remaining bits after I am done with you."
When Sirius heard the last part he gulped.
"Lily." He started to say.
"Yes Sirius?" came the sickly sweet reply.
"Mercy is quite the virtue."
"I know and I will have mercy on your remaining bits." Came another sickly sweet reply.
"Son we will see you Friday, stay out of trouble and avoid the press as much as possible." Said his father.
"We will." Harry said.
"Good. And make sure Padfoot behaves." His father said before the mirror went back to normal.
Helena smirked a bit at the conversation she heard. She noticed that both Harry and his father chatted quite formal which each other. Probably in case they were overheard. And her mother in law seemed quite upset with Sirius.
The laughter of her mother pulled her back to reality from her thinking.
"Mister Black. What would you like to have written on your gravestone?"
"Tried working as a matchmaker. Forget about mothers and in laws. Only the necessary parts remain." Quipped Tina from beside Remus.
Remus and the other adults smirked while looking at Sirius who became as white as a sheet.
"You know you don't live up to you name Black. You look kind of pale." Added Caelia with a smirk.
Bruce added "Like a dead man."
"Let's hope Katherine likes you enough that she keeps your bits as a souvenir Padfoot." Added Remus with a grin.
With a pop Sirius changed in Padfoot and hid behind the couch both teens were sitting on.
"You can run Padfoot. But you can't hide." Said Harry to the dog animagus.
"Let's give him some illusion of safety Harry. Maybe it will keep him out of trouble." Said Helena.
"And pigs can fly without aid of magic or technology." Replied Harry,
"At least you two can come home with Bruce and me to Gotham." Said Selena." That will give us some time to create a tale around the appearance of Helena."
"And introduce her and Harry to her older brothers." Added Bruce.
"one of them is a police officer you know." The man informed Harry.
"Bruce. My husband does not need a stay in a police cell to be intimidated." Said Helena and the way she said Bruce sounded a lot like she heard other girls say daddy in exasperation.
"I know that Helena. I was thinking more about Arkham because clearly he is delusional. Magic? Really." Replied Bruce with a smirk.
Looking at her lover Selina started to laugh.
"A threat hidden as a joke. Bruce you are improving."
"How so? According to popular opinion magic does not exist. So if I let it drop to certain persons Harry will find himself with a nice new jacket in a padded room." Was the man's reply.
"Some people use curses. But he uses the system." Said a grinning Caelia. "Playboy my ass"
"Indeed. But the scandal will be enormous after the press finds out that Bruce Wayne's secret daughter has married before him. And in Las Vegas no less, I can see the headlines already." Selena said before making one up.
"Secret Wayne heiress elopes with British scion. How many more children has Bruce Wayne out there?"
"Selina. Behave." Said a annoyed looking Bruce.
"yes darling." Selina said with a purr.
"Well we can leave tomorrow for Gotham. I think today has been long enough." Said Remus.
The rest of the group agreed and after saying their goodbyes Remus and his wives took Sirius with them and left.
When Bruce his phone went off he frowned when he heard who was on the other side.
After a few minutes he ended the call and said.
"I have to check something. I will be back soon." After saying that the man left the suite.
Selina turned to the two teens and grinned.
"So kids what are the plans for the future?" she asked.
Reginald Kyle the III P.O.V.
Looking at the man in front of him Reginald Kyle the third supressed a sneer.
The peacock like man in front of him just smiled and sipped from the in Reginald's opinion perfectly wasted Napoleon brandy.
"Well lord Malfoy what makes you so interested in my niece? He asked.
"Well mister Kyle. Because of the tragic dead of my sons intended I find myself looking for a new fiancé for him. And when I heard about your niece I thought that both would be good for each other." Replied Lucius Malfoy while putting his glass down.
"Does that man thinks that I have idiot written on my forehead? I do business with the American branch of the Greengrass family and I am not her guardian."
"Why did you come with your idea to me I am not my niece her guardian?" He asked.
"Well things can change mister Kyle. Your father is quite advanced in age" Lucius replied."
Kyle bit back a snarl. Threating his family that insufferable peacock had more plans going on it seemed.
"I get your meaning and I will think about this mister Malfoy." He replied "And prepare." He thought to himself.
After some more pleasantries Lucius Malfoy left.
Sipping from his drink Reginald went over the things Malfoy had said.
"That man has plans. Either because of his master or he knows things I don't know." Reginald muttered to himself.
Malfoy Manor P.O.V.
Lucius sat in his study and smirked while he thought about the meeting with the heir of the Kyle family. The man really was a fool just like Greengrass had told him before his dead.
His luck had been great when his spy had told him what had happened to the Potter heir and that Kyle girl. If everything went right his family's fortunes would grow even more.
Reginald Senior P.O.V.
When his son told him about the meeting with that slippery bastard Malfoy The elder of the two had been amused.
"I think he is looking further than a good match Reggie. Helena is a lot like her mother. And recently she has married."
When he saw his son's expression he had to laugh. After he had calmed down he explained.
"Helena got drunk while in Las Vegas and ended up marrying a heir of a British magical family. A noble and ancient family. My guess is Malfoy knows this and probably found out who Helena her father is."
"So he is hoping for more wealth and power?" Replied his son.
"He is. I will warn Helena and her husband. I will meet both of them and their parents at Friday for dinner."
"Do you want Anne Marie and me to attend said dinner to?" His son asked.
Reginald Senior shook his head and answered. "No the official announcement of their marriage will be next week at the ICW gala. Arrange for a good view for the announcement."
His son nodded. "What about Malfoy's threats?"
"Let him hiss for now. While we prepare for his bite." Replied his father.
Gotham.
"Well gloomy doesn't cover it. It looks like London her little cousin has a permanent bad mood." said Harry while watching the city of Gotham.
It does but for my parents it is home." Replied Helena. While being led by Harry from the plane. Her parents followed them having told Sirius and Remus and his wives to make their own way.
When they left the airport they were met with flashes of camera's and yelled questions of the press.
Some security guards of Wayne enterprises cleared the way for the foursome.
Bludhaven police station.
"Grayson your dad is on television. showing some new kids too it seems."
Hearing the voice of his lieutenant Dick turned to the television and saw Bruce leading Selina and two children to a limousine.
"In a surprising move Bruce Wayne revealed that he and his long-time friend Selina Kyle have a daughter together. We don't know who the young man beside her is but rumour has it that It might the young heiress her boyfriend."
A few moments later the phone on the desk of Dick Grayson rang.
Before he could pick up the phone his lieutenant pushed the hands free button and replied in a faux female voice.
"Detective Grayson's secretary speaking. He isn't here right now."
"Double duty nowadays lieutenant?" Asked Bruce Wayne in an amused tone from the phone.
"Yes sir mister Wayne. Will it be by shotgun or concrete? I am sorry but little Dickie is looking for air." Around the room a round of laughter sounded while Dick rolled his eyes.
"Is Arkham possible? They like each other a bit too much." Asked Bruce.
"Tried that with my sons in law mister Wayne didn't work. but I know this convent" replied the lieutenant with a grin.
"Bruce stop it!. Dick keep that paper pusher away from the phone." They heard a clearly female teenage voice from the phone. Laughter went again through the bullpen of The Bludhaven police station including the laughter of said lieutenant and his wife.
"Well I kind of agree with dad and the lieutenant little sister." Said a grinning Dick.
"If he has knocked you up I am not going to be pleased."
"All men seem to have the ambition to become idiots it seems when a girl brings their boyfriend home." Replied his newly discovered little sister in a annoyed voice.
Around the bullpen the women laughed.
"Be at the mansion at six. Sober, presentable and without a shotgun. Because if you take that from your car I unload it and are going to play golf with it using your nuts for balls comprende?"
Dick paled at the last words.
His lieutenant saved him when he replied with a smirk. "We make sure he is in time miss Wayne. Please keep him in one piece for us. It's hard to find newbies willing to work here."
"I will think about it." Came from the phone before it clicked.
"Poor Grayson. Welcome to the big brother with younger sisters club." Said one of the uniforms with a straight face.
The entire bullpen laughed at the uniform his words..
Teen Titans towers.
Hearing his phone ring Tim Drake reached for it while writing another essay
Being in the Teen Titans did not let him get out of school.
"Hey Batman. What's up? Dinner tonight why?
A sister and she just has married?" Tim asked before replying.
"Is she checked for everything that can change her mind or yours." The reply was pure Batman
"Jeez don't take it personal." Replied Tim
From the phone came a new voice.
Tim held it away from his ear it seemed his newly discovered sister did not liked to be called mind controlled.
"Friend Robin who is yelling at you?" Starfire asked from the door.
"My sister. Starfire I have to go. She demands I eat dinner tonight with her." Replied Robin while putting the phone down.
"She is nothing like my sister isn't she?" Starfire asked with a frown on her face
Robin gave her a smile and said "You want to join me?"
The Tamarian smiled and disappeared from the room at full speed.
"Friend Raven."
Robin smiled at Starfire her antics. He hoped his sister would tolerate him inviting the girl.
Potter Manor
"What do you mean you are going to inspect your holdings Euphemia needs her lessons." Dumbledore demanded to know in an angry tone.
"Did we spoke to fast professor .I am sorry but we have to go to inspect our holdings." Said Lily. "And Euphemia and her brothers have to attend some functions with us."
"but Euphemia." Before the ancient wizard could continue he was stopped by the words of the younger wizard in the room.
"Can miss a few lessons and you need to prepare for the ICW meeting" James pointed out. Dumbledore looked like they had kicked his puppy when he left the manor.
Wayne mansion.
Alfred had to supress a smile at the behaviour or rather antics of both miss Helena and her husband.
Both were so much like miss Helena her parents.
Alfred was privately pleased with the young miss her husband, he at least drank his tea the proper way.
When Master Bruce had explained the situation that miss Helena and master Harry had created. The old butler wanted to cackle aloud but decided to smirk at master Bruce.
When Bruce saw said smirk he frowned making miss Selina copy said smirk before she blew master Bruce a kiss.
"Master Bruce you face will get stuck that way if you keep up that look." The butler remarked.
Bruce frown intensified.
"Bruce. Please smile for me." Asked miss Helena giving her father a pout.
Looking at his recently discovered daughter the man that put the fear in the criminal world of Gotham gave in and smiled at his daughter .
Said girl smiled and said. "Thanks Bruce."
Alfred while walking away was suppressing the urge to cackle aloud again.
"Young Helena was good for his boy." He mused. Like most daughters she already had wrapped her father around her finger.
Some secret Hideout.
From a shadowed seat a person watched the news especially the item involving Bruce Wayne and Selina Kyle when the news was over said person started to cackle before starting to sing.
"Selina and Bruce sitting in a tree. And Selina betrays the villain community."
A soft giggle followed.
"Selina you will pay." Said the person who had been singing
Said person stood up from the chair and stepped out of the shadows.
Pigtails bouncing she kicked the television into a wall.
"You two aren't worth to rule Gotham. When my pudding is out he will kill both of you and your brat. "
Wayne Manor
Stopping outside the manor Dirk Grayson frowned.
If he had been on better terms with Barbara Gordon he could have asked her for advice.
But his own actions had alienated him from her. Stepping out of his car he looked at the mansion he once called home.
"Awkward isn't it?" said a familiar voice from behind.
Turning around Dick found himself face to face with Barbara Gordon.
"Barbara?" He asked
"Yes I see there is nothing wrong with your sight." Said the woman in the caer in front of him.
"Barbara. I did not mean to." Dick started to say,
"You did. I might be bound to a wheelchair. But I can take care of myself." Responded Barbara Gordon with a glare. "Now be a good boy and take the ramp from my car."
"Don't worry we will do it." Sounded a new voice.
Turning around Dick was faced by another person and his date that he loved and hated at the moment he wanted to talk to Barbara in private. But little brothers were usually nuisances,
The two teens opened the back of the car and took the ramp out.
The girl of the two placed the ramp over the stairs.
"Here you go. I am Starfire friend Robin asked me to come." She said after flying over to Barbara and Dick and offering her hand which Barbara shook.
"Thank you Starfire and it is good to see you Tim." Replied Barbara
"Could you two please give us a moment?" Dick asked.
Both teens nodded and made their way inside.
"Dick you live up to your name." The glare of Barbara chilled Dick to his bones.
"Barbara, I do not want you to be alone. Disabled people need help."
"O so I need help!". Barbara yelled. "With wat making coffee?"
"No I did not mean it like that." Dick said.
"Dick. I can do most things myself. Revalidation taught me those things I needed.
You think I need help? Please look in a mirror. I was lucky. I had people that said come on girl! And where were you?"
"Somewhere else." Dick replied while looking down.
"Indeed. Dick I loved you but realised that you weren't there for me."
"Barbara." Dick started to say. Before he could respond Barbara slapped him.
"No Dick. Being in a relationship is giving and taking. Bruce can tell you all about that as would Selina. Both might not be the persons for a stable relationship but they cherish each other. Did you cherish me Dick Grayson?"
"Yes."
"But after the shooting you weren't there Dick. I had to do all things alone!" The last part was shouted at Dick. "You had other priorities. You did not even visit me. You did not cherish me. Get inside Grayson and don't bother me."
Dick looked hurt for a moment before he walked inside using the ramp.
Turning her chair around Barbara fought her tears.
For all his faults she still loved him.
Looking at the gate guarding the estate she started to cry. It had been a mistake to accept the invite from Bruce.
Inside the manor Dick stormed through the hallway passing Alfred , Tim and Starfire who had been chatting with each other.
"O. Dear master Dick got slapped." Mumbled Alfred.
"Friend Alfred why would they slap him?" Asked Starfire in confusion.
"Master Dick is stubborn and when shown his own mistakes tends to brood, miss. He and master Bruce share that trait." Replied Alfred. " And miss Barbara can turn in a spitfire when angered."
Both teens nodded and a moment later Barbara entered the hall.
"I am sorry Alfred . But he pissed me off."
"I understand miss Barbara. But please keep the peace."
"I will try."
Dick sat in his old room watching the ground while he sat on his bed.
In his heart he knew Barbara was right.
But as difficult as it for her it was as difficult for him seeing her reduced to an invalid.
He loved Barbara with whole his heart. But seeing her like this pained him.
"Angry at yourself or at the world?" asked a voice from the door.
Looking up Dick saw a girl looking at him with a smirk on her face.
"I asked you something brother dearest. Or should I break in the golf clubs?"
Dick could not help but smile. His new found sister was leaning on the doorpost looking at him with a raised eyebrow. He did not know who she resembled more with that look her mother or her father,
"Your missing dinner so brooding has to wait." Helena said. "I am told Alfred would be disappointed if we missed it. It seems quite the feast."
After those words Dick concluded that she took after both. Selena would joke about things and Bruce feared Alfred his wrath.
Smirking he stood up and picked his sister up placing her on his back.
He heard Helena giggle.
"Giddy up my faithful steed. Dinner awaits!" She shouted she had always wanted a big brother.
For some reason Dick could not help him and made some horse noises while carrying Helena to the kitchen Selena and Bruce both had a dislike for the formal dining room. He expected them to eat there. When they arrived his little sister said.
'thanks Hidalgo.' Everyone laughed besides Harry who did not get the quote.
Dinner was an event. Both Dick and Tim teamed up on Harry to the amusement of Selena and her daughter, Starfire was confused about the men their threats. Said men were even joined by Barbara making sure that if he hurt their little sister Bruce and Alfred would be the least of his problems.
Harry never the greatest people person wanted to hide under the table but a sticking charm made that impossible. When he realised this he looked at Helena who just smirked and blew a kiss at him. Harry vowed payback. This would be remembered.
Arkham asylum.
The guards of Arkham were as usual not good at paying attention.
The normal way was usual blowing your way in and your way out according to her Pudding.
Why could Mr. J not listen to her more often? Asked the woman herself.
With ease she snuck around the guards, evading them like a person that knew her way around. What was a fact.
Finding her way in the wardens office she wacked the warden on his head with her mallet. When the man laid on the ground she relieved him of his keys.
Climbing up she disappeared in the air vents. Who ever thought of this method must have been slim and not weight much just like her.
Clambering through the air vents she smiled finally Mr. J would appreciate her beside being someone to warm his bed .
She landed lightly on her feet and smiled when she saw the guard at the cell for her Pudding look away.
A second later said guard was off to join Morpheus in the land of dreams.
"Hey honey finally going to listen to me?"
The Joker smiled and said. "Maybe."
Harley Quinn giggled while she opened his cell. Taking the Joker his hand they ran away not a moment later sounded an explosion. Explosions were fun after all.
Harry and Helena their room.
From the doorpost both Selena and Bruce watched the sleeping couple.
Helena had her arm protectively around Harry while her head leaned against his shoulder.
"Who is the protector and who is the defended one?" Asked Selena in a whisper. Bruce smiled and whispered back.
"I think they share both titles when like this." Selena said while hiding her giggles with a hand.
"Come on lover boy I need my beauty sleep." Purred Selena.
"As you wish."
Canada
"Can you finally explain why I could not take Ginny with us." Asked Nathan.
The Potter family without his older brother had just arrived in their house near Vancouver.
His father smiled and wanted to start to talk when his wife beat him to it.
"Honey I know how you and Ginny think about the headmaster and his plans. But at the moment it is a secret. When Ginny would travel with us they could have had placed charms on her or you."
Nathan grudgingly nodded there was a charm to take them away at home when you arrived there.
"don't worry brother you going to meet a new sister." Grinned Euphemia.
Nathan his eyes grew. "did Harry change genders?" He asked with a grin.
The other occupants of the room started to laugh.
Nathan and Euphemia looked surprised when they entered an airplane.
'No portkey?' Asked Euphemia.
Easy to track by magic and paperwork. Her mother said.
Better to go the muggle way her father added.
Both children nodded.
A few hours later they had arrived at a gloomy city.
'Not really a nice place.' muttered James but we own stock in Wayne enterprises and a house was handier as an hotel.' Before apperating with Nathan while Lily apperated with Euphemia.
When they arrived at their destination it seemed to be bigger as their own house. It looked like a crippled mansion but when the passed the wards
it became a nice little cottage stepping inside they were met by an house elf the young female elf smiled and said. 'everything is ready lord and lady Potter.'
'Thank you Kitty.' Their father said before the elf popped away.
The Potter family had always treated their elves as family and Lily had taken it up herself to learn the younger and willing ones proper speaking, reading and writing.
'Get some rest. Tomorrow will be a busy day.'
The next day Helena and Harry where visiting Barbara Gordon for lunch. Both had wanted to explore the city before entering the place she lived they were stopped by a man leaning on a cane.
'Riddle me this riddle me that I thought I saw a little pussycat.'
Helena her face brightened while she hugged the man.
'Uncle Edward.' She exclaimed. 'Harry this is my godfather Edward Nygma
'Well riddle me this riddle me that has the little pussycat met a little tomcat.' He said. with a smile
From in front of the building sounded laughter.
'Hello Edward.' Barbara said. while the man leaned on his cane.
'Hello miss Gordon.' Both teenagers their eyes grew at his words.
'Uncle please join us for lunch.' Begged Helena.
'Sure. If miss Gordon allows it.' He replied
'Sure Edward.' Barbara said.
The lunch was a show in entertainment for Harry and Barbara with uncle Edward telling embarrassing stories about Helena who had been stuck to her chair by Harry. The boy blew her a kiss while she glared at him.
When lunch was over they left the restaurant uncle Edward said to Helena and her boyfriend. 'watch out you two the Joker is out as is Harley Quinn. They are mad at your mother for something little pussycat, keep her safe child of Herne' he said before walking off.
Both women raised their eyebrows at his last words.
'Not here. Tonight at the mansion.' Harry said.
That evening the grand dining room was used because of the visit of Harry his parents and Helena her grandfather and Sirius and Remus and his wife when Lily had seen Sirius she had cursed him. Uncle Edward who had arrived with Miss Gordon cackled at the sight with most of the others.
Helena was introduced to her in laws who smirked at her.
Let's say when she heard uncle Edward cackle she wanted to strangle him.
While dinner was done Harry and the others seated them self in the living room.
'So mister Wayne what are you intentions to my daughter?' asked Reginald Kyle.
'Not going for a shotgun or Vegas wedding.' Bruce replied.
'But they are fun.' Said a smirking Helena.
Selena swatted her daughters head. 'Behave for a moment.' She ordered while smirking.
Helena fled in Harry his arms. 'Harry my mom is mean to me. What should I do/'
The boy smirked and said. 'Behave for a moment.' The girl pouted at him.
Sirius smirked. 'This does remind me of a certain couple. You too Moony.'
The other man nodded with a smirk on his face.'
Reginald Kyle laughed at the antics around him
'Do it at your own pace you two.' he said too Bruce and Selena.
Both nodded
'But I want more grandchildren to spoil.' He said everyone laughed at his words.
'Next point on the agenda.' Barbara said. Why did Nygma called you a child of Herne?'
Harry, Euphemia, Nathan and their parents faces hardened and glared at Uncle Edward.
Bruce looked at this with interest. While Reginald and Alfred who had come with refreshments their eyes grew with understanding.
'You belong to that group.' whispered Reginald.
'As do I because of Helena her marriage I was able to speak of it.' Replied Edward.
'I demand a vow of silence. We are not very well known and we like it that way.' Said James Reginald nodded as did Selena, Barbara and Alfred. Bruce hesitated before he nodded.; with a wave of his wand James started the vows when they were taken he started to talk. 'We are known as the children of Herne the hunter descendants of the hooded one or his followers. When the darkness rises we gather and fight it.'
Bruce nodded before asking hooded one?'
'Riddle me this riddle me that who walks Sherwood forest his darkest paths?' said uncle Edward
Bruce his eyes grew.
'our group include muggles, squibs and magicals. If the darkness rises a person will be chosen as the hooded child of Herne. I am the current one.'
Around the rooms eyes grew. Looking at James with new eyes except for his wife children and uncle Edward.
'We are almost everywhere. Edward is in exile but still a member.'
Bruce nodded
You are preparing for war to come?' He asked.
James nodded. 'It is rumoured the man Euphemia killed as a baby will come back.'
Lily snorted at his word before saying. 'It is as if a muggleborn can do nothing. They pat you on the back and congratulate you with your daughter who was a baby while you did the hard work.'
'Honey keep calm please.' James said
Harry who held Helena rolled his eyes as did his twin and their little brother having heard that complaint many times and did agree with their mother.
'Calm? Those pedigree poodles should be ashamed to act like that.' She hissed
Reginald laughed at her words his bastard son's daughter in law had said something similar.
Kathryn was as strong headed as her husband and had to be restrained before she cursed some people congratulating her on being such a good mother and homemaker. His daughter in law worked from home as an artist for magical paintings and photographing and hated the attitude because she was no-maj born.
'We think he did something to himself. But don't know what yet.' James said.
Bruce nodded and said. 'I might know some experts. My company investigated magic lore for a while. Hoping for old technology.' James nodded
'I will ask around too.' Reginald said.
Harry, Euphemia. What about the book that got Ginny possessed?' Asked Nathan speaking for the first time.'
'That might be a clue.' His father said while stroking his chin. Problem is Dumbledore has it in his possession.'
'Stabbed it with a fang of a basilisk and it made it scream.' Added Harry over Helena her head who was nuzzling against his shoulder.
All people in the room except Helena nodded.
'Next point.' Reginald announced 'I think we can shock Dumbledore the best at the next ICW meeting next weekend. He will know that the Potters now have more allies.'
'But what are his plans?' asked Uncle Edward.
'Drain me of my magic.' Harry said. 'And exile or kill me.'
'Give it to me.' Euphemia added 'And make me kill that dark idiot and die while doing it. because of a drunk charlatan her ramblings'
'And marry Ginny to me to get control of the Potter family.' Added Nathan.
'He is probably penniless.' Grinned Uncle Edward. 'Riddle me this. Riddle me that what will we do wat the man won't expect?'
'Show up in force. Like John Drummer said. Our greatest loss was also our country its greatest victory' Helena and Selina laughed at his words as did Uncle Edward.
'I don't understand the reference.' Bruce said
'Auror general John Drummer fought beside auror general Janie Rebberson and Black Joan in the Mexican war. Black Joan was taken by her father with him as a slave because she was a irritation to his wife who secretly had experimented on her.
In those forces boys and girls were in different divisions.
Janie directly started to recruit with Drummer his help under the squibs and magicals
They trained. For the ladies diplomacy, scouting, healing, sniping and spying and guile.
The boys nearly the same except frontline fighting was added.
When the civil war broke out and lines were drawn. The north unlike the no-maj world enforced certain contracts of loyalty where they could a no-maj born or a lesser ranked magical into service to them this was a minor group who did this and most were as lady Potter putted it inbred poodles.
It also putted John and Jane against each other.
Many of the slave states where hiding entire communities of magicals and squibs on plantations. They agreed with the no-maj north but despised the magical one.
There are two famous battles that are always mentioned the battle of Waterfalls where southern women grabbed the entire northern magical general staff by guile and the battle of Pecan pass. The north had a shortness of women for the elite so they made a law that any woman captured did not need to sign a contract to be married of.
When the news came out Black Joan and Janie thought out a very cunning plan.'
What they did? Asked Bruce.
'grabbed the chaplain, local priest and reverend snuck in a northern camp of magicals and squibs and captured all the men and while pointing guns and wands at them they said. 'Hello boy's, let's say the holy men were busy that night. When the holy men heard why this was happening they laughed their asses of. Those elite are still the laughingstock.'
All people in the room laughed.
What happened to John and Janie? asked Nathan
'They got married.' Replied Reginald Kyle 'and had many mulatto kids and grandkids.'
'And Black Joan?' Euphemia asked.
Girl never found someone, Still around she teaches at a military school for squibs and is still an advisor to congress. Fought in most wars till Vietnam.'
Bruce nodded While filing the information away.
Albus Dumbledore P.O.V. ICW meeting.
Albus Dumbledore was in a funk. The ICW members were not listening to him. Even worse was that squib bitch Joan was there. Slaves should know there place and that woman did not know her place. After having ordered her to leave her patients alone and flee in world war two she broke his nose and told him to sod off before evacuating many muggles and squibs beside her patients. And now that bitch was smirking at him.
Standing up he gave them all his trademark twinkling smile.
'Welcome to this meeting of the ICW. Are there any points that are not on the agenda.'
Standing up Reginald Kyle the second stood up.
'Yes there is but it can wait to the end of this session.'
Dumbledore nodded his head.
The meeting was boring and Albus Dumbledore seemed to not get away with his usual tricks to keep the other members agreeing with his line of few and his word about a possible return of Tom.
Most infuriating were Reginald Kyle and Joan. Those two should just follow his lead without question. He had defeated Gellert after all. Albus was not telling he did after a passionate night and stunning his lover while he was asleep.
At the end of the session he turned to infuriating colonial who smirked at him.
Standing up Reginald Kyle the second smirked at Albus Dumbledore.
The man started to speak. "I am pleased to announce the marriage between my granddaughter Helena Kyle and scion Harry James Potter of Britain. I hope for many greatgrandchildren."
Dumbledore his face went white. This wasn't in his plans
"Aren't they a bit young to marry?" He stammered.
'Viva Las Vegas.' Said Reginald Kyle making the room laugh.
When he looked around he saw his pawns smirking at him from the visitor gallery.
Potter Family P.O.V.
While walking outside Nathan, Euphemia, Harry, Helena and their relatives laughed.
'You saw his face.' Said a giggling Euphemia.
'He was short away from a heart attack.' Said a smiling James.
'Now get back to Gotham. Mom promised me and Euphemia some shopping.' Helena said.
Soon the entire group was back in Gotham and Euphemia, Helena and Lily were taken on a shopping trip while the boys went to play golf with Bruce.
