Harry was currently walking up the stairs and towards the private room in St Mungo's hospital. Sirus was here getting checked over by the healers. Harry eventually reached the door to the private room, Harry stopped shortly before knocking the door.
"Sirius!" Harry called. "It's me, Harry!" The door opened, and Harry smiled only to find himself tackled down.
Harry ended up with his back leaning against the wall opposite the door as he sat on the floor, he looked down to find a knee that had narrowly avoided landing on that special little area between his legs. His eyes rose up, taking notice of the rather unique clothes, he glanced a few seconds longer than he should on the cleavage when his eyes finally reached the top. He saw a heart shaped face with bright shoulder length pink hair and beautiful violet eyes.
"Um...hi." Harry blurted out. The person in front of him blushed slightly before quickly recovering and giving him a grin.
"Wotcher, I am Tonks." She said as she gave him a dazzling smile
Harry could not help smile back as he took in the vision in front of him. Black boots with a blue knee length skirt, a red shirt under a black waist coat and open black jacket which brought attention to her very impressive cleavage. A necklace around her neck that looked like it was made of string, it had a bunch of small, bronze orbs hanging from it. She also had bright orange earrings.
"So...finished looking?" She said, grinning at him.
"No," Harry said as he shook his head slightly. "I could do this all day, but I will stop if you want me to."
"For now at least," She smirked before she stood up and offered Harry a hand, Harry took it and she helped him up. "sorry for falling on you by the way."
"You will not find me complaining if a beautiful girl wants to throw herself at me." Harry shrugged, smirking at her.
"You wish." She snorted with amusement.
"I do actually," Harry grinned. "so just to clarify, you didn't fall on me because of my good looks?" Harry said with mock-disappointment.
"Not this time at least," She grinned back. "so you're Harry Potter right?"
"Yep, hold on, I remember you."
"Really?"
"Yeah," Harry nodded. "You're a Hufflepuff seventh year."
"That I am"
"Hey, your name was 'Tonks' right?"
"Yeah."
"What's your last name?"
"That is my last name."
"Oh, in that case, what's your first name?"
"Oh, sorry sweetie," She said as she jokingly pinched his cheeks. "that's classified information."
"Nymphadora, come back in already, you can flirt with him later." A feminine voice called from inside the room where Sirius was staying in.
"Mum!" Tonks groaned in the direction of the voice.
"Classified huh?" Harry pinched her cheek in the same manner, but quickly let go and rushed into the room.
Upon entering the room Harry noticed Ted Tonks, his lawyer, in the room, no doubt related to the pink haired Tonks outside. He had helped Harry in gaining 40% profit from all the ridiculous Boy-who-lived books. Next to him was a rather attractive brown haired woman, she looked quite young, early thirties at best, and thanks to magical people aging at a slower rate than muggles Harry had no idea how old she was. The two of them were standing next to a bed, the occupant of that bed was grinning at him.
"Harry!" Sirius smiled and held his arms out.
"Sirius!" Harry rushed over and the two embraced in a hug. Harry said, burying his head into Sirius's shoulder as Tonks re-entered the room and shut the door.
"Missed you too pup!" Sirius said, a lone tear dripping down his eye. "I...I wondered if I was ever going to be free...and now...now I am! And it is thanks to you!"
"Harry, how are you doing?" Ted Tonks asked.
"Great Mr Tonks," Harry smiled. "if you don't mind, then can I ask what you and these two lovely women are doing here?"
"Well, you've met my daughter." Tonks said, gesturing to Nymphadora who waved at Harry, Harry smiled and waved back. "And this is my wife, Andromeda." Ted said, gesturing to the brown haired woman.
"Oh, it's a pleasure to meet you." Harry said, extending a hand to Andromeda. Andromeda placed her hand in Harry's, Harry gently held her hand, he leaned his head down and kissed her hand, though he didn't let his lips touch her hand.
"There is no need to be so formal with me," Andromeda smiled at him as Harry let go of her hand. "I am glad to meet you Harry."
"Andi over here is my cousin. They are great friends for your parents. Little nymphie there, along with Andi, used to babysit before your parents went into hiding." Sirius explained to Harry.
"Siri," Tonks's scowled. "don't call me that."
"I do not know what your problem with your name is." Andromeda sighed. "Nymphadora is a perfectly fine name, don't you think so Harry?"
"Okay, so now I'm being brought into this." Harry blinked before he shrugged. "It's a rather unique name, I like it." Harry said honestly.
"Anyway Sirius," Harry said as he turned to Sirius. "how are you doing?"
"I'm fine. But the healers wanted to keep me for 2 more days and follow a potion regement." Sirius scowled. "But tell me what's going on with you? Who do you live with? And Lord Emrys?"
What followed was a long story of how Harry got into all this mess. By the end he could say thay everyone was angry at the Dursleys and Dumbledore. Sirius was let out after 2 days and Harry had spent the rest of his Holidays getting to know him. Just the day after the trial, the Daily Prophet had loudly announced about him being the heir to Merlin and about Sirius's innocence. The article was written by one Rita Skeeter and she had thoroughly smashed the ministry. Harry had sent two of his elves to keep an eye on her. This Skeeter woman actually seemed to have a way with words and leaking sensitive information. Harry had big plans for the wizarding world and for that he'll need support of the sheep and since daily prophet is the only magical daily newspaper, he wanted it's control.
After going back to school, he fell into his daily routine. Waking at 6, exercising, going to classes, making friends and playing some minor pranks on the bigoted upper years. He became friends with Susan Bones, Hannah Abbott and Ernie Macmillan. Them along with Megan Jones has joined his little study group. The only problem that it wasn't so small now. But, It was quite fun. The puffs needed help in potions and Harry and Daphne was best at it. Blaise, Hannah and Nott needed help in Charms which Tracey and Boot helped in. Hannah and Ernie inturn helped Tracey and Pansy in Herbology. Since the group consisted only purebloods and half-bloods, no Slytherins objected to it. Harry planned on bringing Neville Longbottom next year. The classes were boring and easy. Harry had an encounter with the Weasley twins. They had pulled into an empty classroom and questioned him. Apparently there were some rumors that Harry was the one responsible for Filch incident and that he had framed Draco. The twins were worried if there was a 'budding prankster' among the Hogwarts walls.
Harry knew that the third floor corridor had a cerberus in it. He had heard some fifth years talking about it. But he felt no need to investigate as he liked to live. He was currently sitting at the end of the year feast. Slytherin had won the quidditch cup and house cup and they were all very happy. Quirrel had been missing since two days ago. There were rumours that he was kidnapped by a vampire or something. But he really didn't care. He was going back home, spending his time training, playing and visiting his friends. Other than that, the year went peacefully.
Albus Dumbledore was sad. Harry Potter hadn't went looking for the stone. But someone else had. Just as Severus predicted, Quirrel wanted the stone. He had confronted the man at the third floor corridor when he felt the wards around the stone go down. Turns out that the man was possessed by Tom Riddle. He wanted the stone to regain his body using the Philosopher's stone. Albus had stunned the man, but the spirit had flew leaving the man dead. He wanted to approach Harry asking about where he was going to stay at the Summer, but refrained. The boy didn't like him for putting him with the Dursleys. He couldn't fault the boy. Why had he ignored Minerva's warning? Since Harry was emancipated, he didn't need a guardian.
Harry had spent his summer quite lavishly. During the first month, he and Sirius had gone to an island owned by the Blacks near the Carribbean. He had learnt to swim. It was actually the first time he went outside Britan. Then, two weeks was spent in intensive training. Harry, Blaise and Tracey had gone to Greengrass Manor to spend time with Daphne. Sirius had told him that he was planning to sit at the Wizengamot. Harry had made Sirius as the proxy for Potter and Emrys seat. With the Black seat, he had considerable power. He had sided himself with the neutral wing which was headed by the Greengrass family. It also led to many other families joining the neutral faction.
It was the last week of the holidays. The booklists were to arrive soon and Harry had to go to Diagon Alley soon. Just as he arrived at the informal dining room, several elves popped in front of him, holding another elf.
"Master, Dobby be trying to steal your mail. Tippy caught him in the act" said Tippy.
The non-Potter elf squeaked out, "Harry Potter must not go back to Hogwarts! Dark things are planned. He must be kept safe. Dobby must protect him!"
Harry was confused. "Tippy, Ninny, release him" he said. He looked at Dobby. The elf was wearing a dirty rag and had injuries all over his body. Harry knelt down to the elf's level and said, "Hello Dobby. It's nice to meet you. Now can you please tell me what exactly the danger at Hogwarts is?"
The elf burst into tears. "Harry Potter treats Dobby like an equal. He is far greater than Dobby ever imagined. But Harry Potter should not go back to school sir. There is a plot, a plot to make the most dangerous things happen!" said the elf.
"What plot? Who's plotting them?" asked Harry quietly, his eyes narrowed.
"Dobby cannot say sir. Dobby's master doesn't even know he is here. Dobby would have to iron his hands later for this. But Dobby doesn't care, for Hadrian Potter's safety is most important. Don't go to school, sir. Great danger is going to befall the castle this year. Harry Potter must protect himself" said the elf and snapped his fingers and disappeared.
Harry sighed and sat down on the floor. "Guys, who is Dobby's master?" he asked the two elves in front of him.
"Dobby is the Malfoy elf, Master Hadrian." suggested Ninny.
After receiving the book list Harry had flood to Diagon Alley. He walked over to Gringotts and asked to be taken to Ragnarok's Office.
"Good Morning Hadrian. How may I be of your service?"
"Well I would like to look into my investments."
"Very well. Did you have some particular company in mind?"
"Yes actually, I wanted to buy the controlling shares of Daily Prophet. I currently own 23% and I would like to increase that to 51%"
Ragnarok laughed "So you wanted to control what the sheeps read?"
"Of course not. We both know that the newspaper is just a gossip rag. I'm just ensuring that they print the truth."
"Very well. It shall be done."
"Thank you. And if you do see any potential companies, you may invest in them"
"Well I do actually have one. There's a new broom company looking for funding actually. I have checked their plans and it's actually a good broom. If the broom is released in the open market, it will be the fastest one to do so. They have named the broom and company, Firebolt. They actually do need quite a large sum, about 50,000, but at the same time it has potential. They are willing to offer 30% shares. Each broom is planned to go on sale at 300 Galleons."
Harry's Nimbus 2000 only cost 130 Galleons. A broom that costs 300 Galleons each can not be afforded by the public. But if Ragnarok says that it has potential, then it might be true. "Ok, I think we can go through with it."
Bidding him goodbye, Harry left. He had gone to complete his shopping. On reaching Flourish and Blotts, there was a large crowd consisting mostly of middle aged witches. Apparently Gilderoy Lockhart was signing his new book and they all were his fans. Harry already had his school books, so he didn't need them. He was just planning to check if any new books were added. But he didn't want to be in the crowd so he left. The most important thing that happened in the summer was finding Salazar Slytherins locket.
Harry and Sirius were living in Potter Castle, since Sirius's house was in a bad condition. Harry had sent 5 elves to clean up the place when they found the locket that oozed dark magic. Recognising the same magic of his scar, they brought it to him. Harry was gobsmacked. The locket was supposed to be in a cave. After questioning the Black family elf, Kreacher, he found that Sirius's brother, Regulus had swapped a fake for this one and ordered to destroy this. But Kreacher was unable to do that. Harry placed it with the diadem in a security vault at the castle.
He had trained with Merlin's potrait and perfected all spells till 5th year. He had found Merlin's journal and was planning on reading it. There were many Arcane spells that was lost to time in that book. He won't be able use many of those spells till he was older because of it's power requirement, but he planned on conducting the ritual to awaken Emrys family magic in him at 13. He was planning on learning it all along with Emrys family magic after the ritual. So he had to wait. Harry continued his learning into Potter family magic. It mainly contained wards and battle spells. The summer went by a blur and soon Harry found himself sitting in a compartment and off to hogwarts.
