The Rise of Harrison James Potter-Spector-Ross
What happens when Dumbledore pisses off Michael 'Mike' Ross when he decides to dump his nephew at the hands of abusive muggles? That have no relation to Lily Potter who happens to be his sister. Will Hogwarts cope with a sharp witty Harry Potter or will the Wizarding World be dragged kicking and screaming into the 21st century?
I do not own Suits, they belong to Aaron Korsch and USA Network, nor do I own Harry Potter, they belong to J.K. Rowling and Warner Bros/Scholastic/Bloomsbury.
Pairings: Mike Ross/Harvey Spector, Sirius Black/Rachel Zane, more pairings to be decided later.
31 October 1981 – New York City
Michael "Mike" Ross was sleeping peacefully after a rough day dealing with dickheads like Daniel Hardman and Louis Litt, both men like running him to the ground by making him doing grunt work when he was close to making Partner. However, he embraced his loving partner Harvey Spector of more than 4 years, he cast his mind back to when he last visited his sister, his brother-in-law and most importantly his nephew. He desperately wanted to tell Harvey that he was a wizard, but he was afraid of how he would react if the truth came out, but fate had other ideas.
'Lily!'
His beloved sister who could only match him the world of the law and would always be competitive but have a close sibling bond and rivalry had died.
Before another word could be spoken, a letter appeared from a burst of green flames with a feather, that slowly descended into Mike's lap. Harvey woke up when he heard Mike sobbing quietly.
'What's wrong my love?" Harvey snaked his arms against his lover's bare chest and brought him into a cuddle of comfort. Nothing more could be said, as Mike shakily opened up a letter and hearing from his sister for the last time.
To my younger twin Mikey,
If you are reading this, then James and I have sadly passed away at the hands of Voldemort after being betrayed by a friend we trusted with our lives. This letter was set to find out an hour after we were killed and if I am correct, you would have just woken up in bed and Harvey is reading this over your shoulder or making calls.
I must stress this now, but Padfoot was not our Secret Keeper, it was Wormtail. I knew there was something wrong with Pettigrew not long after Harry's first birthday when he kept on rubbing his left forearm, he kept passing it off as an itch from a rash, but I found that to be suspicious.
When I told James of my suspicion, he performed a spell from the Potter Grimoire, that allowed us to view the left forearm without lifting up the sleeve and to our horror, it was indeed the Mark of Voldemort. However, that is not the most shocking allegation that I need to tell you. Of course you and I never fully trusted Dumbledore and James was slowly thinking like a Slytherin, when we overheard plans between Pettigrew and himself about ensuring that we would die, and Harry would be sent to the non-magical world perhaps with a family of his choosing to mould him into a destiny that would be against his will.
THIS CANNOT HAPPEN!
Luckily, there was a spell in the Ross Grimoire that allowed me to tie his blood to any member or spouse of the Ross Family. Which brings me to the next point of the letter, YOU LITTLE SHIT! WHY HAVEN'T YOU TOLD HARVEY THAT YOU'RE A WIZARD LITTLE BROTHER?! Lily please, I am sure that Mike has a good reason for it honey. Mike I love you, but when it comes to love you are really clueless, after all I was clueless about James so it must be a Ross trait. The reason I brought this up is because you two are literally soulmates in the eyes of Magic, regardless of status. So it's time to man up, tell the love of your life the truth and you would be surprised about what he might say.
Lastly, take up the mantle of the Most Ancient and Most Noble House of Ross, adopt Harry, get Sirius and Remus out of the country, and live in New York until it is time for Harry to attend Hogwarts. It might send Dumbledore in a spin and start making Wizarding Britain question his motives over the past 50 years or so.
It might also be worth to bring Minerva back into the family now that she's a widow. She is going to need protection and one of the family jewels can protect her mind from potions and spells along with Legilimency.
Our portraits are in the main Ross vault in New York away from the prying eyes and arms of Dumbledore, get them and we can be somewhat of a normal family.
Remember Mikey, our family motto that we crafted ourselves, we take no bullshit from anyone, and we dig for dirt until we can bury the morons until they can no longer breathe.
This letter acts a location of where Harry might be residing if Dumbledore takes him away from Sirius and other potential guardians, just slice your hand and let the blood touch the paper.
Until we see each other again, little brother.
Love always,
James and Lily
Mike began to laugh and sob as he read just how thick Lily and him were when it came to finding their soulmate, Harvey definitely matched him in both personality and intelligence. Slowly extracting himself from his lover, Mike began to crawl out of bed, not even bothering to put on pants as he preferred to walk around the bedroom naked, he began to head into the back of the closet to retrieve a box that had collected dust for the past 4 years.
"Mike, what's going on my little raven?" Harvey knew when his lover was upset when he would sit down in a space and not say anything over a period of time. Mike returned to sit on top of the bed caressing the box that held so many memories.
"Remember when we moved, I said that this box was not to be opened at all?" Harvey nodded, still wondering what this had to do the letter that appeared out of nowhere in the middle of the night. "This ties in what I have to tell you, I wasn't going to, but certain events happened that I now need to tell you." Receiving a nod of encouragement, Mike gathered all his strength and began to tell his family history.
"First of all, I am a wizard and yes they are real, there are witches too and unicorns and many other mythical creatures. That feather which appeared out of nowhere, came from an animal that belongs to my family, an emerald phoenix." Harvey was amazed about the history that his lover was telling him and never once did it occur to him to flee. He gave the young lawyer a chance to change his life and he was drawn to him in a way that he had no idea how to explain it. He had a thousand questions, he had met Lily, James, and Harry but he wanted to know why Mike left Britain and came to the US. As the night went on, he became horrified on why Britain was stuck in the Victorian era and the lack of progression. Lastly, there was one more truth that Harvey had to hear.
"….in the magical world there is a thing such as soulmates, where no one can cheat without feeling violently ill. You are my soulmate; my magic drew me to you. Harvey I…," suddenly, Mike was silenced as Harvey began to kiss him enough emotion that could literally throw them off the bed.
Opening the box once more, he slipped on ring on his left-hand middle finger that had the signet of shield and falcon on the front. The magics of the Most Ancient and Most Noble House of Ross was overjoyed that it was reunited with the Head of the family. His wand was a different story and got really emotional that there was a minor burst of magical outburst.
Remembering what the letter said about locating Harry, he sliced his left palm and let a few drops of blood fall onto the letter.
"I, Michael James Ross, Head of the Most Ancient and Most Noble House of Ross, request the location of Harrison James Potter, Scion of the Most Ancient and Noble Houses of Potter and Ross."
Both men watched with interest as the blood turned into a map of England before it came to a revealed a location of their nephew.
4 Privet Drive, Little Whinging, Surrey, England.
"Jessica said that we can borrow her private jet and that she insisted that she come along to rescue Harry from the kidnappers, Donna and Rachel want to tag along. She said Louis and Daniel aren't happy that they are going but she cited some by-laws bullshit and ordered that the firm be closed for a week to deal with some family emergency, and they had no choice to but to back down," Harvey grinned as he hung up the call and proceeded to put on some clothes to prepare for the flight to England.
Mike just smiled in comfort and could not wait to cuddle Harry and raise him with the family of lawyers and magic.
"Hang on my little seeker, Uncle Mikey is coming to bring you home. You are a Ross as much as you are a Potter."
2 November 1981 – 4 Privet Drive, Little Whinging, Surrey, England.
The storm had been raging on for the past 2 days with no signs of slowing down. No weatherperson could determine what was the cause of the freak storm.
Vernon Dursley, an overweight man, who resembled a walrus, was currently trying to watch the latest financial news on the possible takeover of Grunnings Drills, being part of the negotiations, he was hoping to be considered to be on the Board of Directors in the future. However, the lack of concentration was coming from the crying of the babe that was in the cupboard under the stairs.
"SHUT IT FREAK OR YOU DON'T GET FOOD FOR TWO DAYS!" Vernon yelled, hoping to quell the crying but to his everlasting shame it never did. He hated kids aside from his own son, who was quite big for his age of infancy. He only agreed to take in the brat from the orders of an older man, with the promise of money flowing into his bank account every month.
A knock on the front door had the walrus looking at his horse-faced skinny wife, wondering who could be knocking on the door. They thought that they were the popular couple in the street, but everyone hated their snobbish attitude and avoided them like the plague. Petunia had no choice to get up but answer the front door. She was confronted by a small group of people standing there.
"Yes, how can I help you?" she asked with a small hesitation in her voice.
"I believe that you are housing my nephew illegally in your house, who is Harry James Potter," Mike replied with a hint of steel in his voice. He hadn't slept that much on the flight over but was grateful that there were beds and shower that allowed everyone to have clean clothes and sleep.
"No-o, I don't know anyone by that name…," Petunia started to say closing the door quickly but was stopped when Mike slammed his hand on the door with such force that his magic responded in anger, that it shattered, and the cupboard door sprung open at the same time.
"UNCLE MIKEY!"
That was all Mike and Harvey needed as they pushed past the horse-faced woman and ignored the walrus shouting profanities and threats about calling the police for trespassing. Harry flew into his uncle's arms as soon as he saw his favourite person in the world aside from Padfoot. Discretely waving his wand to clean the nappy, the reunited family turned back to the conversation that was happening in the foyer.
"…you had the child for less than 48 hours and you couldn't be bothered to change his NAPPY to keep him clean?!" Jessica did not raise her voice but had the Dursleys caught in her trap with no way out. She was a kind person always willing to help others but if someone pissed her off or got in her way, well she wasn't known as Queen Viper for nothing, just ask Louis and Daniel on why she made them run for the hills.
"My name is Jessica Pearson, of Pearson Hardman, a top legal firm in New York City and you have just been caught neglecting a child that was in your care without consent freely given. You know what the most interesting part is, is that my Junior Associate attended a prestigious school in Scotland before working for me in America and I am pretty sure we can find some fraud and embezzlement charges to make sure that you are the gossip of the town and to ensure that you will never get a moment's peace, wherever you are," Jessica finished her introduction with a glint in her eyes as if she was daring the Dursleys to try something in retaliation.
Donna and Rachel were sporting madly wide grins on their face, and they watched Jessica protect those who she called family with her vicious words to the so-call guardians of the little boy that they knew were going to spoil so much.
Petunia and Vernon, while they were glad to be rid of the unwanted guest that they were dumped on by Dumbledore in exchange for money, breathed a sigh of relief, unfortunately for them, that was a wrong move as fear was struck into the heart of the Dursley family with Jessica's next words.
"Oh, and if you just thought now to pack up and move and hope to never see me or my partners again, you better think again because you have just given me probable cause to open up a branch in London as part of our expanding our network, one way or another, we will find out and you will go down.
The Dursleys gulped in fear as Vernon realised that he would not be able to throw around his weight and get what he wanted, no matter the consequences could be. Petunia was hoping that this hiccup could be passed up as gossip, however, loss of the extra money would hit them hard
They had officially met their match.
There is a reason why you don't mess with Harvey Spector, Jessica Pearson and Mike Ross and why they were considered royalty in the New York City legal network.
You come after their family or harm, prepared to be investigated inch by inch of your life and buried way.
In other words, the Dursleys were fucked big time and it was just the beginning.
Albus Dumbledore would be next and not even bribery or magic would protect him from Pearson Hardman.
Hi everyone,
For those who are wondering why I have suddenly re-posted this for those who have read it before, is because I am in the final few months of completing my Diploma in Crime and Justice Studies and am aiming to become a Paralegal soon in Brisbane, so I thought why not combine my love of Harry Potter and law together!
Next chapter will see some more surprises with the appearance of Sirius and Remus.
Please leave your thoughts and what you would like to see happen!
Justin
