Angel's Light

Chapter 03

AN: Hello all it's been a while. Firstly I want to wish everyone a very happy holiday. This chapter was actually meant to come out yesterday but I got distracted by Uncharted 4, so consider it a late Christmas present from me to you all. Next I want to thank everyone who reviewed the previous chapter. This chapter contained a bit more world building so it jumps around a bit. That said here's the new chapter.

Start Now:

Central London was an experience that had to be experienced by someone to truly be believed and appreciated. From the architecture, to the people even the smell of the air. London had at one point served as the heart of an Empire and as they took in the sights it was plain to their senses that the place was alive. For Harry whom the Dursely's had tried their best to keep isolated and the Halliwell sisters who had never done much travelling it was an entirely new experience to what they were used to. Of course there was Phoebe who had previously spent time in China but it was a very different experience that had been mostly confined to a hotel room.

As it was the group were doing their level best to take in everything that they could. From the Leaky Cauldron they had they had decided to travel by taxi so that they could actually take in the sights. Of course that was after the group had met back up and finished their tour and shopping in Diagon Alley, the shopping of which had only been the purchase of wands from Olivander's. That had been an experience much as any trip to the famed wand makers was but they had come away with what they had been seeking. Phoebe who had been the first to approach had gained a 10 inch Ebony wand with Dragon heartstring as a core.

Piper had gained an eleven inch Rowan wand with a Unicorn hair as a core and Paige had gained a 10 inch Ash wand with Unicorn hair, with all of them getting wrist holsters to carry their wands, including Harry. In fact Harry had been so taken in by the holsters he'd bought two more, one for Hermione and one for Neville as a small thank you for sticking by him through the year. Following that had been a quick stop at Florish and Blotts where he had picked up a book on magical theory.

Now however they were in Muggle London and to be honest Harry was glad for it. Not only was it a new experience for him but he was out of the scrutiny that his celebrity status forced upon him while in the Alley. They had already been to several shops where he'd gotten several pairs of jeans and t-shirts, sweaters, jackets, hats, sneakers and boots. As Gringotts had muggle branches in every country he'd received a debit card for Barclays which was apparently a subsidiary of Gringotts. With that card he was able to make his purchases fairly easily and while there would normally be a limit due to his age the goblins had suspended the limit for the time being so that he could get started on purchasing his clothing.

Thankfully they didn't have to carry around all of the bags, once purchases were made they would move to a small secluded spot and with a quick call to Dobby the bags were taken off their hands. At the moment they were sitting down to a light lunch which Harry was honestly thankful for as he felt he'd tried on nearly everything in the place and was honestly exhausted. His aunts were still energetic apparently and with Leo and Sam smirking at him he was contemplating some form of revenge for letting this happen to him without at least the decency of a warning.

"Harry Potter?" came a new voice its tone questioning and if he was guessing right surprised.

Turning towards the voice he was greeted by the sight of a man wearing a pinstriped blue suit with a white dress shirt and a blue and white tie. He had dark brown hair and wore a pair of brown square framed glasses. His initial feeling of having a fan disrupt his day had disappeared at the sight of man's state of dress, this being a suit that he knew the wizards of Britain would never be caught in.

"Can I help you with something sir?" questioned the boy

"Ah forgive me it's been quite some time since we last properly met you were four at the time. My name is Elliot Prewett." Said the man introducing himself.

"Prewett, any relation to Molly Weasley?" questioned Harry.

"Molly would be my elder sister; may I?" answered and questioned the man motioning to the free seat getting a nod.

"I hope you forgive my intrusion but I was quite surprised to find you here." Said the man as he took the seat.

"Excuse me but could you explain how you know Harry?" questioned Paige.

"Certainly Ms. Matthews or do you prefer Mrs. Mitchell now?"

At this the adults all narrowed their eyes. Paige's marriage while not a secret was still basically new not having even reached the two month mark at this point.

"When I was a child I expressed an interest in what British magical's call the muggle world. Though I could use magic it came too easy and thus couldn't truly keep my interest. Your grandfather Charles made an arrangement with my parents in that he would see to my education and I in turn would become his aid in the muggle world. As such I really grew up under your father James which is how I recognized you so easily." Stated the man getting a nod from Harry, he'd been told many times he had his father's looks and his mother's eyes.

"When your parents passed and you were sent to Petunia by Dumbledore your grandparents were furious. However it was soon explained that your mother's last act was the execution of a protection ritual that is held by her blood and you would need to live with someone with her blood." Explained Elliot, this Harry also understood having previously been told of his mother's blood protection.

"Are you sure it was Lily and not this Dumbledore who created it?" questioned Sam having heard more than enough about the man to start distrusting him.

"Positive. Dumbledore doesn't dabble in ritual magic and blood magic is about as ritualistic as it gets. However as Lily did work with the Unspeakables for a time he took you to them. No one could figure out the finer details of her work, they're still trying to figure it out actually. That is the reason your grandfather didn't declare a blood feud with House Dumbledore. Eight years ago your grandparents decided it was time to get you away from Privet Drive. Prior to that experts from around the world had been tasked with altering the rune to accept your father's bloodline. Like the Unspeakables those experts never quite figured it out. Your grandparents however refused to wait any longer after learning how Petunia and her family had started treating you.

"At your grandmother Dorea's instruction I personally went to speak with Penny Halliwell as it had been discovered your mother was adopted. Initially she was understandably doubtful however she soon learned the truth for herself. While she was willing she was also reluctant to take you in and explained to me the dangers for doing so. In the end however she decided to do so but wanted to first contact and speak with all four of her grandchildren and explain the situation, two days later I received word that she'd died from what we later learned was a heart attack." At this Harry had to fight back the frown at having come so close to escaping the Dursley's before he managed to banish the thought as selfish.

"Following this your grandparents decided to forget the blood protection and just improve the wards surrounding Potter Manner and as such put in the paperwork to have custody transferred to them on the muggle side. They were killed in a bombing in Daigon Alley the next week."

"I see." Said Harry feeling a lump form in his throat.

"According to what I have since learned there was a radical group of squibs who went the wrong way in protesting their treatment." Said Elliot.

That oddly enough did make Harry feel just a bit better. It still sucked that his grandparents had never taken him in but at least they'd been actively trying and it had only been bad luck that had seen those efforts stopped.

"We thought about sending you to your aunts but they only discovered their magic six months later and they seemed to be in constant danger until just recently." Said Elliot.

"Well he's not wrong there. Plus it's not like any of us were equipped to taking care of a child at that time." Said Paige, what went unsaid however was that she wasn't even in the picture at that point.

"Well Prue was but with all the danger we were in on top of still learning our powers…" started Phoebe trailing off with a grimace.

"That was our conclusion as well. In the end it basically came down to placing him in potential life threatening danger with you or leaving him with Petunia where he'd at least be safe for a few more years. We chose the path that left Harry in the least amount of danger." Said Elliot something all the adults and even Harry grudgingly understood.

"You keep saying we." Said Sam after a few moments.

"There are two of us. My partner in this matter was one of James's best friends by the name of Remus Lupin; Harry used to call him Uncle Moony. It was actually him who discovered that Lily was adopted and who her birth family was." Explained Elliot getting a nod from Sam.

"Now for the reason I interrupted your meal and gave the long lesson on our activities. We have a box of things for you, some that Lily sent to your grandparents for safe keeping and others that your grandparents gathered for you. If you're returning to Hogwarts I can have it owled to you this evening." Stated Elliot.

"Things?" questioned Piper.

"His vital records. Birth certificate and social security cards, things of that nature." Answered Elliot explaining a bit more for Harry's sake.

"You should go to Gringotts and then go see your sister." Said Harry after a few silent moments getting the man to look to him in confusion.

"House Prewett is believed to be extinct in the male line." Explained the boy.

The words though delivered softly hit Elliot with the force of a sledgehammer swung at full strength by a troll. The thought that such a thing had happened and he'd gone unaware for so long left him reeling. After a few moments however he took several deep breaths and managed to regain his composure. Once done he thanked Harry for that information, informed them all that he would be in touch and after bidding the group a good day made his departure to see to this new family business.

"Well I thought he would never leave." Came a new voice from behind them.

Turning towards the voice they found a young man with short cut spikey brown hair with deep green eyes. He stood a little over six feet in height and was wearing a pair of grey slacks with a white dress shirt the top button undone and over which he wore a grey and black vest that was buttoned closed and a grey sports coat.

"Chris!" exclaimed Piper in surprise

"You cleaned up rather well." Said Paige giving him a once over.

"Well this is Britain easier to blend this way, especially here." Said the young man as he took the now unoccupied seat.

"So what brings you here?" questioned Phoebe a hint of worry in her tone.

"Nothing bad for once. Actually I'm returning a favor and here to deliver a message." As he said this he reached into his coat pulling out an envelope which he handed over to Harry much to his bewilderment.

"I'm sure you're confused about who I am but they'll fill you in later. Short version is I traveled in time before; problem was I went to the future when I was trying to go to the past. Anyway this really powerful sorcerer helped me out. In return they asked me that I give you this letter, at this time, on this day.

"Can you tell us who this sorcerer was?" questioned Leo.

"Can't give their name. I can tell you their title. It was the Sorcerer Supreme."


"How accurate is this?" questioned a man as he sat behind his desk an opened file in from of him.

"100 percent accurate sir. I had a separate check run myself when it hit my desk, every name it's linked to checks out." Said another

"Every name?" pressed the first

"I had to call in a few favors to chase down a few of them but every name checks out and the boys in MI-13 confirmed the other half including the big one." Said the second.

"Favors?" questioned the first.

"The boy, his parents, aunts and adopted grandparents are all under sealed files with S.H.I.E.L.D. I had to speak with the Director himself to get that information verified."

"Of course you would Harrison and Olivia Evans were two of the very best that MI-6 ever trained, the other was Peggy Carter they were the original Double O's. They were three of S.H.I.E.L.D.S founding members and if I am recalling things correctly Nick Fury trained under and basically lived with the Evans family for years."

"I had no knowledge of that sir." Stated the second man.

"That my young apprentice is because you do not research. You're used to action but in this role knowledge is the most powerful weapon you can hold, that and the ability to tolerate the codger's in parliament." Said the first.

"Honestly sir I'd rather be back in Iraq." Said the second causing the first to laugh.

"I myself wanted to be back in the Gulf or the Troubles, either one was fine with me. We all go through it." Said the first man.

"So this is it, life after a spy's retirement." Said the second

"Lad we never retire, the war is just fought on a different front, with different enemies and different weapons. One might say that without experienced spies running the place those nutters would have cocked up everything worse than they already had."

"Now then I have to brief the Queen. I expect you can handle things here." Stated the man packing everything up into his briefcase.

"Of course sir."

With that said the man known formally as 'M' of MI-6 and now the British Prime Minister James Jaspers stood to his feet bidding his companion a good day and left the room.


Hidden in Central London, specifically in the town of Whitehall could be found the British Ministry of Magic which is the main governing body of Wizarding Britain. Founded in 1707 due to a need for a more structured and complex form of government due to the strain created by the signing of the International Statute of Secrecy in 1697, the Ministry was the successor of the disbanded Wizards Council. Since that time the Ministry had grown in not only power but size as well now containing 16 different departments with many subdivisions for those departments.

It's entrance was like all entranced disguised in plain sight of the muggle world, in this case being a line of phone booths which were themselves hidden under strong notice me not charms. As they stepped out of the booths and into the Ministry Atrium after being unceremoniously dropped down a chute Harry and his newfound family took a brief moment to look the place over. The ceiling was peacock blue with golden symbols moving over it and the floor was a polished dark wood. Halfway into the Atrium was a golden fountain which depicted a centaur, goblin and a house-elf looking up adoringly at a witch and a wizard, which caused more than one member of the group to scoff.

"Mighty full of themselves aren't they." Stated Phoebe.

"A lot of the pure-blood's you'll run into here are." Said their guide seeing what they were looking at.

Their guide was a woman who had introduced herself as Tonks who was actually an Auror cadet. Apparently she had only just graduated from Hogwarts the previous year, where she had been in Hufflepuff. Harry honestly liked Tonks as she was a pretty fun person to be around. Following her directions they first checked their wands in with the guard on duty before they were directed to the lifts which soon had them heading up to the second level, which was apparently home to the DMLE. Eventually they found themselves outside of the office of Amelia Bones.

The meeting with Madam Bones proved itself to be quite interesting. She had informed him that not only had the Dursleys been arrested that morning but due to the fact the he was a member of the nobility the Prime Minister was looking into the case himself. She had also informed him that his godfather Sirius Black was indeed innocent and that the truth of his imprisonment had nothing to do with that but he would learn more about that later in the day. She did however tell him a bit of what would be happening that day. She had arranged it so that today's session of the Wizengamont would be open to the public including the press. She had thought about inviting the students of Hogwarts but had changed her mind as that way it would appear that he wasn't involved.

However she did tell him of a clause in the Wizengamont charter that she would be invoking so that everything would be done right and what his part would be in that. The other pressing issue that had been discussed was his living situation. Apparently even though his aunts had agreed to take him in, custody would be reverted back to his godfather once his innocence had been announced by the Wizengamont.

She did mention that he wasn't the first choice in guardian as that designation had gone to his father's parents and following them Alice and Frank Longbottom. However considering that his grandparents had also passed since then and that the Longbottoms are currently incapable of caring for anyone those options were thus unavailable and custody legally fell to Sirius as his godfather.

Sirius however felt that no matter how much he wanted to, a decade with Dementors had not left him fully capable of raising him on his own. That said however he would not abandon his responsibility on others and thus had come up with a compromise. Apparently he had been allowed to contact his friend Remus Lupin and the two of them had come up with the plan to buy the two houses on each side of the Halliwell Manor and one across the street as well. The sisters had apparently liked this idea and thus Phoebe and Paige had given the go ahead, which Madam Bones had sent off with an own for Mr. Lupin.

Aside from that however Sirius had made his intentions known to immediately head to a healing clinic in the states so as to help him to recover from the damage from his illegal prison term. Healer Johnson had apparently also recommended that Harry himself see a mind healer due to his past treatment from the Dursley's and while he didn't like it the fact that Madam Bones was backing the recommendation as were his aunts meant that he really didn't have much of a choice.

"Now our final peace of business. As you are now recognized as the Heir of House Potter and of House Black you can select proxies to vote in your stead in the Wizengamont." Explained Amelia.

"I see; who are they currently?" questioned Harry.

"As of right now Dumbledore controls the Potter votes and Lucius Malfoy the Black votes." Stated Amelia with a frown.

"I take it this was different before my parents died?" questioned Harry.

"Indeed. Prior to their deaths Madam Longbottom held the Potter proxy as a longtime ally to House Potter. As for the House Black votes those were held by Lord Greengrass who is the head of the neutral faction of the Wizengamont until the previous Lord Black died last year." Stated Amelia.

"Okay, let's revert the proxies back to how they were. If there's a problem with the Black votes being given to Lord Greengrass then Sirius can address it once he's cleared." Said Harry.

"That was actually his recommendation as well. Since you agree just place the sigil of your rings to these pieces of parchment. The top one is for House Potter and the bottom one is for House Black."


An hour later found Albus Dumbledore taking his seat in the Wizengamont chambers. Looking around he could see many members were still not in attendance which was fine as they would trickle in within the next fifteen minutes. The day had not been going as he had expected it to thus far. Having learned that Slytherin's monster had been slayed, the danger passed, and Lucius Malfoy ejected from the board of Governors he had expected to be invited back into the castle and get back to work. That hadn't happened instead he had been called back and damned near blamed for the whole affair. They had also tried blaming him for the fact that Hogwarts had slipped from the top place as far as education went however thankfully Madam Marchbanks had been present to remind all of them that he had been pushing to have the standards raised for years and been denied at each turn.

What hadn't earned him any points however was his decision to bring the Philosopher's Stone into the school nor did the defenses he had chosen to place around the item. Then there had been the matter of Severus and what had been learned about his actions over the past decade. The very idea that the man had betrayed his trust in such a way had brought a rage out in him that he hadn't felt in decades. While they had not blamed the man's alleged actions on him they had however felt it would have been prevented had he not been pulled in so many different directions, something he reluctantly agreed with.

In the end however he had been given the offer to take his old post back however it was only on the condition that he have a full medical check-up done. While he had done so however the results he'd gotten had not been what he had been expecting. The results have left him reeling and he would admit if only to himself had explained why some of his past actions had been so poorly executed. This however left him with much to do for the school as not only did he once again have to find a new professor for defense but another for potions, he needed a new Head of Slytherin and a new Deputy Head as Minerva had apparently made it clear she felt the job interfered with her teaching to the board. That of course was not to mention the new teachers that would have to be brought in down the line for other courses that the board wanted to bring in.

Of course that was if he chose to take back the position. While it was something that he loved he had received a letter the previous night that had brought him some startling news. While he initially wanted to ignore it the letter had been delivered by Fawkes, and its writer had knowledge that no one outside of a select few people knew of. If there words held truth to them as he was beginning to believe that they did then there were even more things that would have to be done. A slight clearing of the throat had him looking up and seeing that everyone was present he stood to begin the session.


It had been two years. Two years since the Incident, otherwise known as the Battle of New York; the day when a hole was ripped into the sky and the world was invaded by an alien race by the name of the Chitauri. It was a battle in which hundreds of lives were lost yet it was also an event that had changed the world for it had been the dawn of the Avengers. The after effects of the battle however could still be felt and seen the world over. New York was still undergoing rebuilding efforts that was being helped by contributions by many companies the world over and even personal contributions by Tony Stark himself.

If that hadn't been enough of a blow however than the fact that within six months of that Captain America had been seen in public fighting none other than the Winter Soldier himself in none other than Washington D.C, something that had been recorded and uploaded by several camera phones. Following that had been the Battle of the Triskelion and the reveal of a revived HYDRA that had been hiding within S.H.I.E.L.D since its inception. In the end Captain America had been forced to confront this new HYDRA along with Black Widow, a new associate code named Falcon and with the aid of Colonel James Rhodes also known as War-Machine. That move had been surprising however it had been a big move and with War-Machine present they'd been able to use the A.I. Jarvis to take control of three newly and secretly built helicarriers.

In the end S.H.I.E.L.D had been left devastated and stripped of nearly all of its assets. It was only through the surprise reveal that Nick Fury who had been thought assassinated was alive that the agency hadn't been shut down. Even still very few people knew that the man was still alive, so few in fact that the number could be counted by hand. Fury however hadn't stuck around instead he'd chosen someone to take over as the new director to rebuild the organization. That someone was the only person that could connect the Avengers to S.H.I.E.L.D who went by the name of Phil Coulson. To the common man S.H.I.E.L.D may have seemed dead but to the government agency's the organization was still very much alive.

"Sir, you wanted to see me." Came a voice breaking him from his thoughts.

"I did I have a new mission for you." Stated Coulson turning to face his guest.

"Already I just got back." Stated the other.

"True however this mission is important and you're one of our best when it comes to undercover work." Explained Coulson tossing over a flash drive which was quickly caught and pocketed.

"When do I leave?" questioned the agent.

"You've got seventy-two hours to prepare." Stated Coulson causing the figure to nod and leave the room.

As the figure left Coulson waited until the door closed before hitting a button under his desk and sealing the room.


As the roll call ended Madam Bones found herself having to hold back a grin that threatened to appear. Though it had taken quite some time she was pleased to note that all of her targets were in attendance which pleased her to no end as now that the session had started she would not be able to be stopped.

"Are there any announcements that need to be made before I turn the floor over to Madam Bones?" questioned Dumbledore with many being surprised as the woman herself stood to speak.

"Before I get started I'd like to announce two proxy changes by heirs that are too young to take seats in this body." Announced the woman getting frowns but understanding nods across the room.

"The first would be from the Heir to the Most Ancient House and Most Noble House of Black." Stated the woman only to be cut off as Lucius Malfoy jumped to his feet.

"Preposterous my son is the one and only heir to the House of Black!" exclaimed the man.

"Not according to the will of Lord Arcturus Black."

The words from the woman caused a hush to come over the room and more than a few people to shudder in their seats as a chill seemed to settle over the room. Arcturus Black III was a man whose name even a year after his death reflexively shudder in remembered fear. Before the fall of his family at the close of the previous war Lord Black had been one of the pillars of Britain's Magical Community. The man had wielded considerable power not just politically and economically but his personal magical power was said to surpass both Dumbledore and the Dark Lord known as Voldemort.

In fact it was well known that the man had been seeking to add the power of the Lord Black to his side and had failed at every opportunity to do so. However at the end of the last war the Lord Black had shut himself away. Many had believed that it had been mostly due to the fall of his family as the family had been decimated by the close of the last war.

"You've seen the will?" questioned Dumbledore in surprise.

"The goblins forwarded me a copy of the will recently. Apparently the previous Lord Black put a number of restrictions in place in regards to the will which in effect meant it could only be activated if a certain number of actions were to take place. In the will it stipulates that at the time of his death Sirius Black would immediately become Lord Black and which freed up the position of heir which allowed him to name the next heir presumptive who has asked that his name not be mentioned for the time being."

"I take it you've met the heir then?" questioned Dumbledore.

"Indeed and he wore the heir's ring when we met. He felt that it would be better to come to me in my role of Head of the DMLE in order to make the changes he felt needed to be made."

At this several of the members had to give the new heir some grudging respect. It was clear that with the current Lord Black in Azkaban and as such no protection going to the head of the DMLE would offer the best protection. Not only did this allow this new heir to keep their anonymity but it allowed them to make a few moves within the Wizengamont to announce their presence.

"Very well, I'll allow it, who is the proxy going forward?" questioned Dumbledore.

"You can't be serious!" exclaimed Malfoy.

"I am indeed. Unless you are questioning the word of the Head of the DMLE." Stated Dumbledore causing the man to fume though he still backed down.

"Now then to answer your question the Heir of House Black has reverted the proxy to Lord Greengrass." Stated Madam Bones.

"Recognized" stated Dumbledore once than man who he knew as the head of the Neutral faction nodded his acceptance.

"The second is for the Heir to the Most Ancient and Most Noble House of Potter."

Once again a hush came over the room. It was well known that there was only one remaining Potter and many of the members had heard from their children attending Hogwarts that he was Gryffindor's and Dumbledore's current Golden Boy.

"Apparently Mr. Potter was unaware his family had a vote on the Wizengamont and felt he should change his proxy since said proxy hasn't even seen fit to send him an owl of introduction much less meet him in person."

At this Dumbledore frowned heavily as the loss of the Potter vote would seriously hurt him politically as he currently held the proxy. Of course he had neglected to mention it to young Harry however that was more due to the fact that he felt that it could wait until the boy was older to allow him to enjoy his childhood.

"I see. I have been forced to put it off due to my duties so I suppose it is understandable. Who has he selected as his new proxy?" questioned Dumbledore.

"He has chosen to revert it to his families previous proxy of Madam Longbottom."

"Very well, recognized."

At this the woman nodded and sat down silently stating she was done with her announcements. Of course for many Dumbledore's calm acceptance of this was surprising however due to the many things he did and the many roles he played many felt that him forgetting a few things was bound to happen eventually which allowed him to save face with many of the rooms occupants unlike the still seething Malfoy who had been moved out of the Wizengamont tiers and into the public viewing area.

"Are there anymore announcements to be made?" questioned Dumbledore before moving on seeing everyone silent and remaining seated.

"Very well than let us proceed with this Emergency Session of the Wizengamont; Madam Bones the floor is yours." Stated Dumbledore.

"Thank you Chief Warlock. Now I've requested this meeting do to a grave injustice done to not only a British Citizen but a valued Hit Wizard during the last war. I speak specifically of the illegal imprisonment without trial of Sirius Black, the current Head of the Most Ancient and Most Noble House of Black." Stated the woman causing a stunned silence to come over the room.

"Now many of you may not know this but Sirius Black was a distinguished and highly praised Hit Wizard during the last war. Scouted and trained by Master Auror Alastor Moody himself Sirius Black is responsible for the capture and arrest of nearly a quarter of the Death Eaters currently enjoying stays in Azkaban. His service to our country and the Ministry went a long way to helping us survive for as long as we did during the war. Sirius Black is a member of the family known as the DMLE and as such this travesty is something that we take very personally." Stated Madam Bones.


High in the sky, hidden within cloud cover there existed a place called the Upper Regions, otherwise known to humans as The Heavens and usually referred to as 'Up There' the Upper Regions was the plane of existence that played home to Whitelighters and the Elder's. Decorated with white marble pillars that reached seemingly endlessly in the sky connected by high rising arcs and buildings made of gold and roads made of bright clouds the place thrived with a peaceful and serene aura. As he orbed in Leo took but a moment to breath in deeply filling his lungs with clean air before exhaling with a sigh of contentment. As he walked many stopped to speak or acknowledge his presence something that he had grown use to over time. Eventually however he made it to his destination a building that like many others reached high into the sky.

As he entered his form was converted into orbs which shot upwards before his form solidified once more on the highest level. As he appeared he found himself within a large room with finely crafted marble chairs which sat around a round table. Instead of sitting however he moved over to the side and peered out into the distance as this room did not contain walls but rather had circular pillars that allowed its occupants to peer outside yet still held up the roof.

"Ah Leo, your early." Came a voice breaking him from his thoughts a few minutes later.

The man himself stood at about 6'5" and had short cut brown hair and a full goatee that was carefully shaped and connected to his mustache.

"Elder Barnabas." Greeted Leo bowing his head respectfully.

"Tell me my friend how is the family?" questioned the man.

"Surprisingly happy and doing all they can to prepare for the arrival of our new addition.

"Ah yes young Harry. How he came out so well in such an abusive environment is honestly astounding." Stated Barnabas.

"Perhaps, but I feel we will have much work ahead of us." Stated Leo.

"True indeed. The taint that was held within him has more than a few of us concerned for his mental and emotional state. He will need much guidance and support going forward." Stated the man.

They spoke for a few more minutes before the room began to fill and they moved to take their seats. It was as the meeting was set to start however that the doors opened and another figure walked in. At her appearance all of the Elders rose in respect as the woman moved to take her own seat. Leo took but a moment to look her over having heard only stories of this particular Elder and found the stories did not do her justice. Standing at perhaps 5'7" she had long bluish black hair that she wore in a princess style which fell down her back in waves. She wore the robes of an elder only they were cut much differently reminding him of a Chinese kimono though the sleeves did not billow. She had pupil-less eyes of the deepest blue he'd ever seen and oddly enough two markings on each cheek reminding him of whiskers.

"My friends it has been some time." Greeted the woman as she took her own seat, a throne of marble and gold appearing for her to sit in.

"Indeed my lady almost a thousand years." Stated Barnabas.

"Well I needed my beauty sleep." Stated the woman both of them smiling.

"My Lady would you care for an update?" questioned another Elder this one who went by the name of Mark.

"No. I may have been asleep but I retain full awareness of my surroundings and what goes on in my sphere of influence, a benefit of my bloodline." Explained the woman.

"Very well. Leo you may begin when ready." Stated Barnabas.

Leo took a moment to order his thoughts before beginning his report, their meeting would last for the next six hours.


The early evening found Harry sitting atop his bed in the dorms with his curtains pulled to close it off and holding the letter he received earlier from Chris in hand.. After returning from his meeting with Madam Bones he had spent some time sending out a few letters with some ideas he'd had. Following that he'd split his day between practice with his teammates, studying with Hermione and reading up on tactics used by professional seekers. Oliver had also taken the time to start training him as a chaser, having reasoned that the time limit enforced in the tournament could allow him to function as a fourth chaser. While he wouldn't be touching the quaffle he would be covering for the girls and breaking up plays when he wasn't looking for the snitch.

His time with Hermione was spent going over potions his weakest point, herbology which is Hermione's weakest point and transfiguration. Of course once Hermione pointed out the periodic table in the back of a first year book Harry had almost blown his top as Snape had never even mentioned it. Once that had passed however they'd got back to studying and his understanding of the subject had vastly improved. It had been when they were wrapping up their study session that Oliver had dropped off the book on seeker tactics which had many he was dying to try out.

Despite all he had done however the letter had been on his mind ever since it had been given to him. Chris had told him that he would only have a brief window to read it which had currently presented itself. As such it was after making sure to put up multiple privacy spells and with a deep breath that he shakily opened it.

Harry, it is with a heavy heart that I write this to you. As you should know by now time travel is indeed possible as is changing the future, as such know that I have written this letter to you my past self in order to do so as well. I should start by telling you that the future is a dark place, a place in which evil rules the day. For starters let me inform you of our timeframe, I am writing you this from 23 years in your future meaning I am now 35 years old. I am currently the head of the DMLE or at least what is left of it. Let me start by giving you some context of your present.

As of this point in your life I should inform you the Statue of Secrecy is in danger of being obsolete. While we in Britain were not paying attention as you know the muggles flourished with technology. What you don't know is that with the satellites they have launched all it would take is a tweak in the visual spectrum for them to see through the notice me not wards. Furthermore let me state that the muggle governments are already well aware of the existence of magic and have departments that monitor the supernatural world.

At this point you are currently doing rather average in school mostly so that you don't stand out in the hopes to be normal. I must however inform you that such a hope is not only meaningless but a major contributor of our current time and something you cannot afford if you are to save and safeguard our future. Moving on I will now inform you that the reason that Voldemort is after you is due to a prophecy that can be interpreted to mean that you have the power to kill him.

This prophecy was given to Dumbledore by Trelawney before you were born and unfortunately the first two lines were overhead by a death Eater who promptly reported it to his master. The reason Voldie didn't die is because he created a number of objects to hold his soul so that he would not pass on. The night you defeated him however a part of his soul which was already unstable broke off and was sealed in the scar on your forehead, at least until last night when you were bitten by the basilisk. Some of the venom got into the scar and drove it out where Grandpa Sam and Sandy where able to destroy it.

Tomorrow you will be asked to go and see a mind healer for counseling due to our childhood experiences, I didn't which was a mistake on my part. Accepting will go a long way towards building a better future for our family. Over the next few years I was put through one obstacle or another which I only later realized where tests constructed by Dumbledore so that I could be 'prepared' to face Voldemort. While next year will be relatively tame compared to all others prepare for things to really pick up starting in Fourth Year. You however may not have to deal with these things as I have already taken a few steps to help you out, though how things will pan out I cannot say.

One thing I always regretted was that I never finished school, as I did not attend seventh year. I spent the year tracking down Voldie's soul anchor's so it wasn't really wasted. The anchors are as follows, the Diary of Tom Riddle which you destroyed, the cup of Helga Hufflepuff, which he entrusted to Bellatrix Lestrange, the locket of Salazar Slytherin, which is currently in Sirius's childhood home, Rowena Ravenclaws Diadem which is currently hidden inside Hogwarts, ask Dobby about the Room of Requirements, it's in the Room of Lost Things. Finally there is a ring belonging to Voldie's maternal family and lastly will be a snake named Nagini, I say will be as it hasn't been created yet and won't be until he revives himself.

Now it's important that the last anchor not be destroyed until after old no brows revives himself as you must kill him in battle. Once you do so it will take your fame to entirely new heights and by the love of the Gods you must use it. Magical Britain must be brought into the modern era or the entirety of the country will fall, and we won't realize anything is wrong until it's too late. Something else you need to know is our paternal family is still around, they never found me as my presence was hidden from them but they never stopped looking.

All I will say is that there was more to James Potter than he or anyone had ever realized. Unfortunately by the time I discovered my full ancestry they had already been killed in battle. You have to grab their attention, in order to do that drastic measures must be taken. You have been repressing the worst of your memories from your time with the Dursley's, you need to delve into those memories and let your emotions loose. Once you do that the restraints on your power should loosen and bolstered by your emotions it will be easy for them to find you.

Harry there are threats coming for the Earth. Beings that are ancient and of such power that Voldemort would be considered a gnat amongst them. Fear not however for there are others out there that can help you achieve things that you would think impossible. In my time most of them were killed before they could reach their maturity and I have never grasped even a fraction of my true power. It is my hope that by doing this I will not only change my own personal future but help you to change the worlds. I have asked the Sorcerer Supreme to aid you in the times ahead. He knows the details of the big picture I ask you to trust him, he may frustrate you but know that he has our world's best interest at heart.

Our family legacy is one of power and endurance, from the time of the Father thousands of years ago as such whatever may come your way you must endure and stand strong. People look to you to set an example as such you cannot shy away, trust that when you lead with your heart others will follow. At the same time never lose sight that you are just one person. As powerful as you may one day become no man can be a mountain unto themselves. Seek the council of others and you will not fall into the trap that Dumbledore fell into. Look to those who have experience but trust your heart to guide you. I wish you the best of luck, as hopefully if your successful, I will cease to exist.

Harry Potter – Head of the D.M.L.E

P.S: Please give the letter to Leo for safekeeping.

Putting the letter down and sitting back in his bed he spent several minutes contemplating all that he had read. Absently he cancelled the spells on his curtains before opening them enough for him to be seen. The fact that a version of himself was willing to erase his own existence in order to change the future was troubling. At the same time it told him that he didn't want to remember it as he knew if he had physically come back when things changed he'd be the only one to remember the original version, like Chris was the only one who knew that Wyatt had once grown up to become evil.

Still the fact that he had basically told him to see a healer despite his own reserved nature had him worried for his health. However what struck him most was the mention of family as someone who was effectively an orphan knowledge of his parents and family was something he truly craved, and there wasn't much he wasn't willing to do for that knowledge. Closing his eyes he forced his mind back to his childhood. He had repressed the vast majority of his childhood memories especially the truly traumatizing ones yet if that was what he needed to access for this then he was prepared to relive it all. Eventually it all came flooding back bringing him both physical and emotional pain.

Unknown to him as he lost himself in the pain of his past he began to glow a soft golden color and it began to rain heavily. As it did the world felt the effects of his emotions and his pain as a harsh storm picked up all over the world. From Scotland, to London to the United States the storm raged its intensity greater than any in recent memory.


In Bayville, New York a group of teens watched in terrified awe as an African woman floated in the sky her arms extended outwards as she tried to fight the storm that rolled in out of nowhere. At the same time in Smallville, Kansas a young man surprised his two friends both young women when he suddenly picked them up and they blurred into motion. A moment later he set them down as the car they were standing by was struck by lightning causing the two to look at him wide-eyed.

In Central City, Washington the workers of STAR LABS were shocked as a bolt of lightning smashed through the ceiling and struck their unfinished particle accelerator. They could only watch on in horror as the machine powered on and with no way to stop it the lead scientist ordered everyone out. They'd only barely made it out of the building before the machine exploded with a beam of light shooting up into the sky before the energy formed a dome that shot outwards in all directions. In the Central City policy department a young man who had come up to drop off some files stopped as the wave of energy washed over him. As chemicals reacted to the energy by rising up the teen was unprepared for the bolt of golden lightning that struck him.

"Is this Thor?" questioned James 'Rhoedy' Rhodes as he dodged a bolt of lightning in his customized Iron Man armor codenamed Warmachine.

"No he's still off quelling a rebellion in one of the other Realms." Answered Anthony 'Tony' Stark flying alongside him in the Iron Man mark IX.

"Well storms don't just pop up out of nowhere like this Tony." Retorted the other man.

"Jarvis can you pinpoint the storms origin?" questioned Tony.

"Negative sir." Came a new voice echoing through the speakers of each man's suit.


While the people of Earth were caught completely off guard and scrambled to make since of the sudden powerful storm, elsewhere it had managed to catch the attention of another figure. Turning his attention towards the place the power came from his grey eyes soon began to glow with a golden hue as he activated his sight. Following the power to his origin point allowed him to gaze upon a young boy with tears trailing down his face as powerful sobs wracked his body. Eyes widening in surprise at his appearance he focused on the boy for several moments before reeling back at the feel of the boy's energy. Smiling widely the man turned away from the sight and was off in a blur of motion to report his find.


Harry was awoke nearly two hours later having cried himself to sleep. Thanking Sheamus for waking him he made quick work of washing his face before joining Hermione and heading towards the Great Hall for dinner. As the various students filed in and took their seats for dinner the Great Hall was soon filled with the noise of multiple conversations. Harry throughout it all was silent merely taking it all in though gave a small smile when he noticed Neville had still yet to return. No doubt the boy wanted to spend as much time as possible with his newly revived parents, something Leo had done just after their meeting with Madam Bones. He did notice however Ron and Ginny were both in attendance though both appeared more subdued than usual.

From her position observing the students professor McGonagall watched, and thanks to her advanced hearing listened to various conversations for several minutes. She was also not surprised by the absence of the Longbottom heir having been informed beforehand of what would be happening this day regarding his parents. Finally with a sigh she stood to her feet and after approaching the podium called for the rooms attention with the conversations coming to an almost immediate halt.

"As you all know classes were cancelled today due to a meeting with the school board. While some of what was discussed will have no impact on you students there were many things discussed that will. Mister Grant here has volunteered his time to explain a few things to you." Said the woman before moving back to her seat.

As the man stood and moved into position Harry was among many who took the time to observe him. He stood taller than the transfiguration teacher even with her pointed hat on and had short cut brown hair and wore blue and brown robes.

"Hello all, my name is Theodore Grant and I am here as Professor McGonagall said representing the Hogwarts Board of Governors. As you all know the board met with your professors today to discuss a number of topics. While a lot of it is still an open subject we would like you students to take this opportunity to submit your ideas for things that could help us improve our school in the coming years. As such each Houses common room will play host to a suggestion box which your Heads of Houses will collect next Friday.

Next all exams for Potions and Defense Against the Dark Arts outside of N.E.W.T and O.W.L years are now cancelled."

At this news many of the students couldn't help but let out their cheers as not only was it one less exam but it meant no Snape. Of course there were also those cheering as it meant they would not have to deal with the fraud Lockhart as well. The cheering however was soon halted as the man motioned for their attention once more.

"There have also been a few staffing changes as well. Severus Snape and Gildroy Lockhart have both been relieved of their positions due to conduct unbecoming of a Hogwarts professor."

The cheering returned only now it was thunderous as the students let their joy be known. Over the years he'd been a teacher Snape had not endured himself to anyone outside of Slytherin House and of that House even the females were cheering allowing their joy to be known. Lockhart however was reduced to a footnote by the students who were already planning to celebrate the departure of the greasy one. As it was it was only when McGonagall called for silence nearly three minutes later that the noise stopped.

"I am pleased to announce that Professor Sinistra is now the Head of Slytherin House." At this announcement many of the students clapped for the teacher that for many had become a favorite.

"Now then I must also inform you that Professor Dumbledore will not be returning to Hogwarts as Headmaster." As the man finished this statement a stunned silence settled over the room.

"In his role as Supreme Mugwump of the I.C.W he has learned of some startling information that he feels must take precedence over all other concerns. Despite this he has expressed his hopes to see each and every one of you graduate. He has also left his post with the Wizengamont earlier today, however he has accepted a post with our Board of Education which he hopes will help to raise the standards of education across all of the schools in Magical Britain."

At this news Harry himself had stilled into a stunned silence however unlike others it was because he remembered the letter in which his older-self stating he'd taken steps help things along and wondered if this was perhaps one of them. Several minutes later after the last announcement had been made that Harry noticed a particular absence that he couldn't help but point out a bit suspiciously.

"No Malfoy." Stated the boy.

"Didn't you hear?" questioned Hermione her tone curious.

"Oh he had an early lie down so he missed the papers arrival." Said Dean

"Still recovering?" questioned Hermione.

"Practice just took a bit more out of me than I thought and after our study session I decided on a nap." Said Harry easily waving away her concern.

"Anyway Harry the pounces dad was arrested today." Said Sheamus causing Harry to nearly choke on his water.

"Seriously?"

"Yeah, turns out Ferret senior had Sirius Black sent to Azkaban with no trial for a life sentence." Said Dean.

"With Sirius Black out of the way he thought it cleared the way for Ferret junior to become the next Lord Black down the line." Said Sheamus.

"It almost worked too since he had Fudge in his pocket who helped him out in exchange for his support in his bid to become Minister." Said Dean causing Harry's eyes to widen.

"Both Lucius Malfoy and former Minister Fudge were sentenced to Azkaban for attempted line theft and false imprisonment because they acted outside of the law to imprison Sirius Black. From what I've managed to hear Draco hasn't left his dorm since he found out." Said Dean.

"If that wasn't bad enough Madam Bones was able to prove he used a cursed object to possess a student in order to release the basilisk. Because of that they were able to pin him with assault for everyone who was petrified, conspiracy to commit murder and for knowingly releasing a 5x class creature on the castle. Draco's dad is serving life." Said Hermione.

Harry said nothing further as the section surrounding them launched into speculation about the Wizengamont session. He himself was content with the days victory and when he returned to his bed this time it was with a small smile upon his face.

AN: That's it the chapters done. Digital cookies to anyone who can tell me who the three elders I named were, only one of which was an easy one for anime fans. That said thanks for reading and please review. Till next time, LATER.
