Ch 9 Revelations Part 2

It was the quietest morning in the Potter Manor. Not even Rose and Violet were bickering with each other or Daniel playing with his toys. Everyone except Harry was eating breakfast in the Dining Hall. Though no one was currently interested in the food, everyone was lost in their thoughts regarding the bombshell dropped by Harry. They don't know how to take the situation. It was hardest for James and Lily to find out that their son had died and had been alive; he would have become the most trusted follower of Voldemort. On one side, they were glad that it didn't happen, but on the other hand, they were upset with the death of their eldest son. Last night they were pleased that they had each other to hold, or there would have been constant nightmares that they couldn't even raise a child properly. They were looking forward to over the conversation and just talking to each other.

The rest of the morning was the same, and we were waiting for the afternoon so that when they finally had the conversation, they could at least think for the future. Time was not passing for them, everyone would look at the stairs or clock for the time, or Harry would come down and complete his unique, astonishing, unbelievable, and heroic tale of his life. While everyone was waiting for Harry downstairs.

Harry was in his room thinking of the worst reactions he would get for everyone for taking the place of their son, brother, godson, nephew, cousin. He was not looking for further conversation, but he knew he had made a promise to himself, he would tell the truth and complete truth. He slowly made his way to the parlor sat in front of everyone as all were waiting patiently for Harry to start his story.

"I would first like to share my point of view before going into the conversation further. I wanted nothing more than a family in my life, and even though I was used to the fact that I was an orphan, it was my deepest desire. I could have found love and started a family of my own, but I was too afraid to let anyone close to me out of fear of losing them like everyone else. So, I went to the Manor and busied myself to learn different magic. I was content with life, but suddenly I got the opportunity of everything that I wanted, but it also came with fighting a war again. Seeing people die again and would have to kill others again, which I was not looking forward to, but then I heard the story of my counterpart. He had everything I wanted, but he didn't care for them. Even though James and Lily were not my parents, I couldn't let anyone make them look down due to shame because they were bad parents. My parents died protecting me; it was enough to know how much they loved me. So, I was ready to again, and that was one of the reasons I made a deal with Lady Death to allow me to tell the truth." Harry completed and waited enough for everyone to completely absorb his words and then started again before anyone could ask him questions.

"Now, when I went into the Emrys Vault. There was a letter addressing their heir. It spoke that anyone who would become next Lord Gryffindor would become Hier Emrys because it had the same condition for becoming Lord Gryffindor but to become next Lord Emrys, the Lord ring was a special ring created by Merlin which had a bit of essence of Merlin which would judge the heir, its intention, knowledge and character and the moment it would select the Lord, his essence would also travel to the next adventure, he made this ring because next Lord Emrys would become next Lord Hogwarts and this information would become public on 1st September. Now, the conditions for becoming the next Lord Gryffindor there were specific. First, he should be capable of becoming a leader with strong views. Second, he should not be power-hungry. Third, he should take out the Sword of Gryffindor from the hat, and the last one was the same for both the Lordships." Harry released the breath he had been holding for so long.

"For last one, we have to read the letter I got from Fate after landing in this universe," Harry says and removes the letter from his pocket. (A/N: Letter is written in Italics, so who doesn't want to read can scroll down.)

Dear Harry Potter,

Since you have already met my sister, please let me introduce myself. My name is Fate, and I have watched you since birth in your homeworld. You, my young friend, are a truly outstanding individual. The pain and suffering you have endured throughout your young life would have broken most people. But you did not let your trials defeat you. Instead, you used them to make yourself stronger. When I learned of the future my sister would face, I could think of no one better suited to become her Champion.

In the thousands of years that I have charted the destinies of mankind, I have learned how poorly humans react to power. The more they have available, the more it warps them into becoming evil and greedy. I have only seen a few souls who were pure enough to resist the temptation to abuse their power during this time. In you, I sense such an individual.

The moment you decided to become my sister's Champion, I saw the many horrors you will one day face in this new world. I knew you would need help to emerge victoriously, so I allowed you to keep your alternate's Magical core. As soon as you absorbed his magic into your own, you became more powerful than you ever would have been in your own world. This allowed me to grant you a gift which is a storm caller. I have only granted this boon to three people in all of history. I have given this gift to Merlin, Godric, and finally you. Strom caller is a gift which means you are a lightning elemental. I also have provided the ability to perform magic wandless.

The power I have given you will be needed to overcome Voldemort in your new world, Mr. Potter. I believe you have the heart and strength of character to not abuse the gift I have given you. The books attached to the letter were written by Merlin and Godric on research and progress to control lightning elemental. I also gave you books written by Salazar on wandless and parcel magic. I urge you to learn all you can about your new abilities as well as Potter and Black family magic as I have taken the liberty to bring the books from the other dimension and they are in the library as well as all the books you had because you will need every advantage you can get in the upcoming war. The rules prohibit me from giving you details about your future, but I can tell you that without this power, you will not be capable of defeating this world's Voldemort. The man you will face is infinitely worse than the one you have already defeated. Do not take him lightly, or countless worlds will pay for your mistake.

My apologies for such a maudlin letter, Mr. Potter. Now that it's over, I will end this on a happier note. I hope you don't mind the few changes I have made with your former residence. After two years of living here, I can't believe you haven't done anything to improve this wonderful Island. It's a true crime that you had spent so much time in Riddle's hovel when you had Potter Manor just waiting to be pulled out from the Goblin transport sphere. Since you were too lazy to do it yourself, I took the liberty of destroying the old house and putting your Manor there instead. If you ever decide to bring people over, I have taken the freedom to change the house's outward appearance, so it won't look exactly like your parents' home.

Also, the number of rooms inside has decreased, but compensating the other rooms is now more prominent. As for your personal items, they have already been unpacked into the Master bedroom. The trunks that contain your money can be found at the foot of your bed, and my last gift to you was the beach I put around your Island. I hope you like it, and take the time to use it and relax.

While moving things around, I came upon the potion you were working on before my sister picked you up for your meeting. I must say I'm very impressed with your hard work, and I would like to offer my congratulations on finally completing your masterpiece. I've seen how diligently you have worked on it, and I'm happy that it is finally finished. If you were willing to take some advice, I suggest adding seven drops of blood from the person drinking the potion. I think the results will surprise you.

I wish you well in your new life, Mr. Potter. Just remember, your fate is always in your own hands. The choices you make will determine what your future will hold. Good luck, and use your gifts wisely.

Sincerely,

Fate

P.S. Your parents want you to know that they are happy that you are finally getting to experience the love of family. Also, Sirius would like me to remind you that he still expects you to fulfill the promise you made to him in your old world. In the not-so-distant future, you will get a chance to do just that. If you don't fight against it, I'm positive you will be pleased by the results. Goodbye, Mr. Potter.

"Now, I have completed everything I wanted to speak, and anyone can ask away questions anyone has," Harry said.

Before anyone could speak, his father spoke. "Harry, how about we first talk among ourselves, and then anyone can ask questions. I have already made my decision; last time, I was letting my love for my son great stronger and neglecting gut feeling, but this time I will be going with my gut feeling." Harry took the note of being told to go in the room and excused himself before anyone could say a thing; he knew James was being serious and would start packing bags in the room.

As Harry made his way to the room. All other occupants were going to start ranting to James, but before anyone could repeat a thing, he spoke. "Now I know everyone is upset for being rude to Harry, but first I would like to hear everyone's thoughts on a few things, so let's go to study." Everyone saw how serious was James regarding the situation. So, started following behind him silently.

As everyone entered the study, he closed the door and placed privacy wards around the room. "Now, I want everyone's views on the situation. Let's start with kids."

Rose, Victoria, Daniel, and Orin were looking at each other were nervous about everyone's reactions. Rose being eager, said. "Dad, to tell the truth, we are happy of Harry being our brother. He actually cares about us; he loves us, teaches us, protects us, takes our all tantrums, and is still there for us. It's all we could ask from any elder brother. Even real brothers don't do it. He took it to himself to improve our relations. He could have told us the truth and started new relations. I don't know about your decision, but I want to be his sister." All other children agree with her. All adults smile softly at the truth spoken by Rose and her determination to maintain the relationship with their brother.

James nods towards the children. He then turns to Sirius, Amy, and Moony and asks. "What do you three think about this situation?"

"Prongs, I agree with the children. He has done nothing but good for all of us, and he is a good child and an honest one." Remus speaks. Sirius and Amy agree with Remus and say the same.

"Can I ask everyone please give me some time for me and Lily to talk?" Everyone nods and leaves the room.

Before any two spoke a word, a woman in the portrait said. "You handled the situation like a lord of house Potter should have handled." The lady in the portrait was Euphemia Potter, mother of James Potter spoke.

"Mom, Dad was I terrible father. I couldn't direct my son to the right path. As a son, husband, friend, and father, I am a failure. James spoke.

"No, James nor you and nor Lily are to blame for what to Harry. Bitterness towards others and clouded judgment led to his chosen path. But now you have a second chance to be a proud father. Tell me, James, what is your decision. On the current matter?" Euphemia asks.

"Mum, current Harry is everything a father his children to be when they grow up. He is a warrior, intelligent, strategist, businessman, but he is not a child. I want to give him the childhood that he deserves." As soon as he finishes, he is engulfed in an intense, passionate, and loving hug by his wife. He then entangles them from the hug, wipes away his wife's tears with his thumbs, and gives her a loving but passionate kiss, which returns eagerly.

Lily then speaks for the first time since the day. "I agree with James on the decision."

"I will have to become the proper Lord Potter that I have been delaying," James says.

"Yes, son." Replies with a strong male voice. He was James's father, Fleamont Potter. "You would need to take your duties now onwards seriously, and don't worry, I would be there to help you if needed."

"Thank you, father, now Lily and I should take the leave. Everyone would be waiting for our decision." James says. Fremont and Euphemia both nodded, understanding the seriousness of the situation.

They both exit the study with Lily still with an arm around James' waist, looking at him with a look of admiration and love. James turns to Lily and raises an eyebrow at her look.

He asks. "Is there something on my face?"

Lily replies. "I am just looking at the face of the man that I married. Reminding myself that I am fortunate to have the best husband and best father of our child."

"You were the one who changed me, Lily," James replies.

"You always know the right to say, don't you," Lily says and grabs his collar and brings his ear, and whispers. "You are going to be very lucky tonight, dear husband." and gives him a wink and leaves him dazed. When she turns back, she sees he still there standing dazed, calls back, "James, come on, we have a situation to handle."

James takes control over his emotions, and his seriousness returns and follows Lily downstairs.

As they enter the parlor, they see everyone is waiting for them. He calls for Mipsy and orders hers to inform Harry to come into the parlor. As Missy goes to tell Young Master Harry. Everyone is waiting for him to return.

As Harry returns into the parlor, everyone sees a little bit of sadness, expecting to hear that they didn't want anything with him.

James takes hold of the conversation. "Harry, when you started to tell us the tale and knew I had already have failed a time in future to be a good father." Everyone went to protest, but he held his hand in the air. "When a couple raises a child, its father duties and love that his son should take the right path in future. I have already failed one time. I knew fate had given me another chance by sending you into our lives. There will be some rules; first, you will inform us of everything you do in life beforehand. Second, you will call us Mum and Dad only understood."

Harry was nodding his head rapidly with a slight smile on his face. James opens his arms, and Harry literally knocks him. Everyone around them hugs the pair of them.

As everyone was laughing and enjoying the situation. Harry remembers something and speaks. "Sirius in my world Narcissa and Bellatrix were forced into a marriage contract where they had to do everything according to their husband's orders, and in the case of Bellatrix, the dark mark made her loyal to Tom. I found everything later when I went through the documents in the Black Manor in Lord's Study. So, I would recommend checking if there is anything like this in this universe also."

Sirius replies. "It would be possible as, before the seventh year, Cissy and I were best friends, and in the holidays, she is completely changed."

No one except Lily notices the change of posture James at the news.

In the evening, everyone is enjoying themselves except for James. He was sitting by himself on the chair with some old letters in his hand. He had called Lily in the study. Lily entered the research and saw James sitting in his chair with notes in his hand.

Lily asks. "What is it, James?" James looks towards Lily and motions her to sit in front of her.

"Lily, do you remember the first night of the seventh year. I was sitting in front of the fire, and you came into the common room of the suite."

"Yes, you were upset about something, and it was the first time I spoke with you properly."

"Remember I told you, I had a secret relationship that was just broken."

"Yes."

"You see, I used to follow you like an idiot because I was in a relationship with someone, and me liking a muggle-born girl would have kept many pureblood girls off my back. I knew you would never like me back because of my behavior with Snape, and by irritating you, it would make you hate me. It was a plan created by me. You noticed my reaction at last thing Harry said; it was because she was no other than Narcissa Black."

"You are saying you were in a relationship with Ice Queen of School."

"I was in the relationship with her from our 4th year and during the holidays before 7th year. She sent me a letter about how vile things are in her letter and breaking up with me. I knew something was off because our relationship was going well. I was going to investigate the reason, but then I heard she is getting married to Malfoy, and I was angry, so I left the matter and never spoke about her."

"Can I ask you something, James?" Lily asks, and James nods.

"How close were you with Narcissa, and who besides you both knew about the relationship?"

"Narcissa and I were so close that there few things about me only Narcissa knows, and I haven't told you because Snape was your friend, and I didn't want the friendship to break. She is the only one who knows about my true Lord persona and behavior because it would have to us when a Black would have married Potter. I was planning on asking for a contract for Narcissa to Lord Black after my seventh year. Except for my parents, no one knew about our relationship."

"James, why are you saying it now to me?"

"Lily, I need your help for the future; if by chance it turns out the truth, I will need you to help me through the drama."

"James, I will be there for you anytime you need me. Can you please tell me do you still love her?" Wrapping her arms around him.

James looks away from Lily at the first question, but she makes him look into her eyes and asks for the answer.

"Yes, I still feel the same way. Lily, please forgive me."

"James, no one should go against their feelings, and I'm glad you told me the truth. James, you know I swing both sides, and you know my fantasies. If the news comes true and she still loves you, then maybe we can think of something for the three of us. Now, can you tell me what is the thing about Severus you never told me?"

"Lily, during fifth, something happened with someone due to which I went to the extreme that day. It's not my story to tell, and if you want to know the truth, there is only one person who can help me. Can you please send Harry in the study?"

"Sure." With that, Lily took the leave to call Harry.

As Harry entered the study, James asked him to take a seat.

"Harry, I am about to tell you something that no one knows about. I have an adopted sister; she is an orphan, and I took her in during Hogwarts during one incident; she hurt so badly that her brain got damaged. I showed her to the best mind healer, and she said only a Master Legilimens can fix her brain, and she should be given Phoenix tears charged with lightning. I would even risk Dumbledore knowing the secrets in her mind had it not been for the second thing. So, I am asking you to treat her. She has been in the situation for 16 years, and she has been in hospital for 12 years."

"Dad, I will help you as soon as I complete my control over my elemental. Can I ask you her name?"

"Her name is Mary Robins."

With that, Harry leaves the office, and everyone goes into their rooms and rest.
