I don't own Harry Potter!
July 31st 1981 Godrick's Hollow
Alright ladies, I have drinks!" Lily said as she entered her parlor with a tray of different drinks. She's wearing a green and white spotted dress with black flats. Hair pulled up with a white ribbon.
She walked over to the first of her friends who were sitting on a black and red loveseat."Marlene, you asked for an Irish Red right?" She asked her blonde friend who nodded her head and accepted the drink.
"Thanks, love," She said quickly before taking a sip from her mug. Marlene was wearing a pair of muggle ripped skinny jeans and a Gryffindor t-shirt she got from Diagon Alley.
"And Dorcas," She said while grabbing a glass from the tray. "You got a cup of water right?"
Dorcas, who was wearing a blue dress, never looked up from her book but accepted the water her friend was handing her. "Thanks, Lily! You're the best!"
Lily giggled and made her way to a second couch that was occupied by Bellatrix Black, who was wearing a black dress with heels. Her younger sister Narcissa Malfoy was wearing a pair of jeans and a light green t-shirt. Amelia Bones, who was wearing dark purple Auror robes, and Pandora Lovegood, who was wearing a bright orange sun dress that had white circles on it.
"Bella, what did you want again?" Lily asked as she endlessly levitated the tray next to her. "Did you order the gin and tonic or the brandy?" She asked as she looked at the assortment of alcohol in front of her.
"I got the gin and tonic," Narcissa raised her hand and smiled at her friend.
"Lils I got the brandy," Bellatrix laughed as she took the cup.
Lily rolled her eyes and proceeded to hand out the rest of the drinks. She handed Pandora a rose lemonade, and Amelia a glass of bourbon.
All three women thanked the redhead who smiled kindly at them as she moved on to the last person at the party. She smiled kindly when she saw Poppy Pomfrey sitting with her son playing with a charmed teddy bear that was flying in the air.
"Harry, you were so close!" The healer cooed as the toddler tried to grab the bear from the air.
Lily watched the interactions between her child and her best friend and couldn't help but shed a tear. Throughout the entire pregnancy, birth, and initial months, Poppy and all of her friends had been there for her. They never left, nore abandoned her, and for that, she was eternally grateful to them.
"Muma?"
Poppy heard the voice in her head and looked at the child in her lap. "What's wrong with Lily Harry?" She asked the child who cocked his head to the side innocently.
"Sad!"
Poppy frowned and looked at her friend who was looking a bit sad. She looked back at Harry and smiled. "Yeah, she does look a bit sad. Let's go fix that!" She picked up Harry and brought him over to his mom.
"Hey," Poppy asked, causing Lily to snap back to reality. "Why are you crying?"
Lily looked at Poppy and Harry and smiled. She took the child from her friend's arms and kissed him gently on the nose. "I…" Lily looked around the room at the gathering of her friends and smiled. "I just want to say thank you." She paused for a second to compose herself before continuing.
"The last 2 years have been extremely difficult for me," She explained while glancing at Harry and smiling. "As all of you know, I got pregnant with Harry during our 7th year at Hogwarts and it was a…difficult pill to swallow," She chuckled as she remembered the day she found out she was pregnant. And the destruction of the Slytherin common room that followed. "And you guys were there for me during that day, and the next day, and the day I vomited in the Great Hall, and the day I vomited in potions, and the day I nearly murdered James, and…well you guys get the picture."
"I guess…I guess I just want to say thank you." She finally said after letting the laughter in the room die down. "I couldn't ask for a better group of friends, no, sisters to call my own."
Everyone looked at Lily and beamed at her. Pandora was openly weeping while Narcissa and Amelia were trying to hide the tears that were gathering at the corners of their eyes.
"Lily, you've saved all our arses at least 5 times," Marlene said with a kind smile as the entire room erupted in laughter. "I mean how could we not be there for you when you've gotten us out of some tight spots? You are a great mom and an even greater friend to all of us."
"Here here!" Bella yelled as she held her mug in the air.
"Aww Marlene, Bella!" Lily cooed with a smile. "I think that's the longest either of you has gone without cussing in recent memory!"
This caused the entire room to erupt with laughter as the party truly got underway. Stories were told, jokes were made, and even some more tears were shed. Even Lily, who hadn't drank since her pregnancy, was drinking and having a good time.
"Has he experienced any accidental magic?"
Lily, who was in the middle of a game of wizard chess, raised an eyebrow and turned her head towards the person who asked and chuckled "Bella, he's just turned one! There is plenty of time for him to be doing that kind of stuff!"
Bellatrix smiled at her friend and shrugged her shoulders. "I know, I was just curious." She took a sip from the second glass of bourbon and placed it down on the table. "I mean, He IS a Potter and a Black and a-"
"Yes yes, I think we know what blood he has in him." Marlene quipped as side-eyed the second eldest Black daughter. "The kid's only one. He'll have plenty of time to show he can perform magic.
"Well, I just think that maybe we should be encouraging him to…you know…do something" Bellatrix explained while picking up the child in question. "Right, little one?" She cooed while rubbing the boy's stomach, causing him to giggle. "Do you want to do some magic for your Aunty Bella?" She asked in a high-pitched voice.
"Bella," Lily asked with a look of amusement on her face. "When was the last time you were around a baby?" She giggled into her hand as she watched her friend play with her child.
"I…well there's Draco…"
"He doesn't count because I know Narcissa doesn't let you anywhere near him," Amelia said with a smirk on her face as Dorcas just shook her head in disappointment.
"She's not wrong!" Narcissa laughed while avoiding the nasty glare she was getting from her elder sister.
Poppy turned to her best friend and shook her head in mock disappointment. "And you made Bella his Godmother, why exactly?"
"If I remember correctly Pomfrey, it was you who said that making yourself the Godmother would be too obvious!" Bella fired back, her chest pridefully puffed out.
"Calm Bella," Narcissa chided at her sister "Your Gryffindor is showing."
"Can't we be nice to each other for one day?" Dorcas pleaded to her friends who all laughed at her.
"I don't know if there's a single 'nice' bone in any of these women, Dorcas."
People looked up and watched as Sirius Black strutted into the parlor from the kitchen with trepidation. He wore black pants, a red button-up shirt, and a black vest. Noticing the immediate tension between everyone, he sighed and put his hands into the air.
"Merlin, it was a joke," He mumbled as he leaned on the wall, swirling a cup of whiskey he had just grabbed. "Can't anyone take a bloody joke these days?"
"My Sirus," Lily said without looking up from her game of chess. "You DO know dogs aren't supposed to be in the house right? Let alone on the carpet."
"Good to see you as well Lily," He said dryly. "Glad to know your insults are just as bad as your choice in friends."
"You're friends with a literal rat," She pointed out while winning her game. "Can't get any worse than that. Well…I guess you CAN but only on one night of the month."
Sirius growled at the insult to two of his friends but tried to keep his cool. "No wonder James isn't here very often. I wouldn't want to"
"What are you doing here Sirius?" Lily interrupted, now looking at the man in the eyes. "Shouldn't you be somewhere in the English Countryside sucking the old man's cock like my husband currently is? "
"I can't enjoy my Godson's birthday?" He asked
"I mean considering you weren't at his birth…"
"Lily…" Poppy warned. She was trying to avoid a fight between the two long-time enemies on Harry's birthday.
"No Poppy," Lily said as she stood up to walk towards Sirius "I want to know why he is here! Considering the sperm donor isn't here, why is he?"
"Lily we talked about this," Sirius sighed and rubbed the bridge of his nose with his hand. "James i-"
"Oh let me guess the bearded genius sent him out on another mission for his order?" She asked the man who immediately went silent. "Of course he did and the fucking moron accepted it happily didn't he?."
"I know James and-"
"Did I give you permission to speak, Black?" Lily snapped, her hand balling up into a fist. "And if you know that buttmunch as well as you say you do then why wasn't he here when Harry took his first steps? Or, and here's a good one, when he was BORN?!" Lily screamed, causing the glasses in the room to shatter due to the magic she released.
"Lils if he could have been there he would have. But-"
"But what?!" Lily yelled as she got into Sirus's face. "It was the birth of his firstborn! Even if he hates me as much as I hate him, IT'S STILL HIS HEIR!" She screamed.
"He was out on a mission! He was getting precious intel for the Order!" Sirius explained, arms flailing as he tried to get his point across. "He got us vital information on what some of the Death Eaters were planning at the Battle of Bury.
"Yes the Battle of Bury," Lily put her hand under her chin in fake thought. "To my knowledge didn't Dumbledore lose nearly 15 wizards? And Voldemort lost what 5?"
Sirius's jaw clenched when he was reminded of that day. He was one of the ones that fought in that battle and saw people he knew die that day. He was not about to let Lily ruin their legacies.
"If I were you, I would stop talking." He spat while bringing his wand out of his pocket.
"And what are you going to do if I don't?" She asked with a raised eyebrow and her trademark smirk. "You don't have the guts to strike me in my own home."
"Lily?" Dorcas asked from her spot on one of the couches. "Do you want to start a fight on Harry's birthday?"
Lily glanced at her son, who was currently trying to remove the hem of Pandora's dress in an attempt to get fed. Pandora, who was fully aware of what was happening, simply laughed knowing that the boy would get fed eventually.
"I think he's more content trying to get to Pandora's tits than what I'm doing right now," She joked, making the blonde blush.
"Lily, I can't in good faith allow you to keep doing this."
"Ah Wolfy, when did you decide to make an appearance?" Lily asked as she raised an eyebrow at the man.
"You and I both know that you've known we were here the moment we stepped onto the property," Lupin said with a frown on his face. He was wearing tan pants, brown shoes, and a light green button-up shirt.
"Glad someone in that group of friends of yours still has a brain," Lily stated neutrally without even looking at him. " Tho, I believe Sirius was about to prove whether or not he had balls."
Poppy had been watching the two argue for the last 10 minutes and was sick of it. Of course, she knew about how hot-tempered her best friend was, but this was ridiculous. It was her son's first birthday party and she was about to have a full-on fight. She glanced over at Amelia, who also looked to be uneasy, and nodded at her.
"Oh, won't you two relax?" Marlene whispered to the two women while drinking a glass of scotch. "She's had a grudge against those two for at least the last decade. Merlin knows it's only gotten bigger since all the shite that went down in our final years at school."
"It still doesn't mean that right now is the time for us to fight" Amelia mumbled
"I don't think it's going to be us fighting," Pandora said while feeding a now calm baby Harry. "Lily has been WAITING to fight those two for a while plus, she wants to let loose."
It was true. Lily had been arguing with the two men for quite a long time now, and not once had she summoned her wand. No one knew where it was since she wasn't wearing a wrist holster since she was wearing a dress.
"Now you listen here Evens, we only wanted to visit our best friend's kid!" Sirius finally shouted, his patience wearing thin. "Now either you're gonna let us see him, or we are going to have some problems."
"What gives you the right to just barge in here and start making demands like that cousin?" Bella asked from her seat on the couch. She was thoroughly enjoying seeing her cousin and his friend getting embarrassed by someone she considered a sister to her.
"What gives me the right?" Sirius asked, glaring at the redhead in front of her. "I'm his Godfather! That should give me all the right in the world to see him!"
"And who made THAT decision?" Lily asked her temper now in full effect.
"James did while you were still in St Mungos." Sirius arrogantly remarked to the now fuming women in front of him. "Aww did I strike a nerve? Is the little miss perfect finally upset? Can't make any jokes now can you bi-"
Sirius didn't get the chance to finish his sentence before getting endlessly flung into a wall by Lily by making the plucking motion with her hand. When he finally got up, he summoned his wand from the ground and launched a curse at the woman who banished it away with her hand as though it was a fly.
Lily had finally had enough and slammed the man through a window. She looked at Pandora who was still feeding Harry and smiled.
"Keep him here, I'll be right back." She said sweetly as she took out the ribbon from her hair. She then walked over to Harry and kissed him on the cheek. "Mummy is gonna deal with some trash. Will you be ok with Aunty Pandora?" She asked while looking at him in his matching green eyes.
"Ye!" Harry squealed, this time out loud.
"Good!" She looked at Pandora with a hard stare. "I'll be back."
She grabbed the ribbon that was previously in her hair and snapped her fingers, turning it into her wand. She twirled it around her fingers and then walked towards the back door, many of her friends getting up to follow her.
"You wanted to fight Black," She yelled as she pointed her wand at the man. "Don't disappoint me."
"Expelliarmus!"
Lily rolled her eyes at the spell choice from the Auror. "Aren't you supposed to be an Auror?" She asked while sidestepping the curse. "I mean come one. The disarming spell?"
She jumped into the air and levitated herself onto the ground. "I bet I used more energy transfiguring my wand than I will use fighting you, Black."
Sirius gritted his teeth and started blasting Lily with as many curses as he could as quickly as he could cast them. Lily on the other hand was lazily redirecting them with her finger.
"Fight back you bitch!" He yelled as he threw a nasty blood curse at her. "Or are you too high and mighty to do that!"
"Give me something to fight and maybe I'll cast a spell against you, but right now all I've seen is a man throwing a temper tantrum." She said as she eggs the man on.
"You want something to fight?" Sirius asks as he takes a look around himself. After a few seconds, he comes up with a plan and smirks. "Fine, be that way!"
Sirius pointed his wand at the tree and smirked.
"Reducto!"
The tree blasted itself into hundreds of chunks which he then launched at Lily who looked at the flying chunks of wood with little to no interest. Sirius then transfigured them all into knives and smirked.
"How's that for magic?" He asked with triumph all over his face, only to see Lily motion with her finger for the knives to turn around which subsequently launched the hundreds of wooden knives directly at Sirius.
"Mother Fucker!" He screamed as he charmed the wood into wooden fairies which Lily lit on fire with the snap of her finger.
"Do you notice a trend, Sirius?" She asked lazily as she summoned a drink to appear in her hand. "I still haven't used my wand yet. Do something Interesting before I go back inside and kick you out!"
"Disiectus Membra!"
"Well, would you look at that!" Lily held up her wand and slashed at the curse that was flying toward her. "Baby's first real curse! Do you have any more? Or was that it?"
Sirius gritted his teeth and once again started going through all the curses he knew.
"This bores me," Lily said casually as she lifted her hand into the air, causing Sirius to also be lifted into the air. She then started closing her hand into a fist, causing him to start choking and clawing at the invisible hand on their neck.
Lily strutted over to him and looked him dead in the eyes. "Are you done now?" She asked as she tightened her fist, bringing him to the brink of suffocation and a collapsed windpipe. "Have you had your fun, Black? Because right now my fun is just about to begin!"
She lifted the man higher into the air and then slammed him into the ground, creating a small crater in the earth.
"You know I've always wanted to do this!" She yelled as she watched him start to turn blue. "I've wanted to do this for so LONG!"
"Lily, that's enough!"
She looked over and saw all of her friends minus Pandora staring at her with varying looks ranging from shock to disappointment. She recognized the voice belonging to Amelia and sighed.
"Aww, Amy I can never have any fun when you're around!" She flicked her wrist at the hanging man which caused him to fall to the ground gasping for air.
"You could have killed me!" He shouted as he rubbed his neck with both hands. "No wonder why people think you're evil!"
"For someone who was just choking, you sure do have a lot to say." Lily glared at the man who glared at her back.
"I think you're just mad that you can't kill me!" He shouted as he summoned his wand and pointed it at her. "Face it, Evans, you've always been itching to kill me and the rest of us, haven't you? No wonder you were put into Slytherin!"
"Are all Gyrfendors this dumb?" Lily asked Marlene who shrugged her shoulders.
"You had everyone believing that you were the second coming of Merlin himself. Fooling everyone that you were this perfect person, manipulating people with your pretty looks and your pretty little friends. But I know what you were doing, you evil bitch! You were only biding your time, manipulating everyone so that once you were out of school you could join that bitch of a cousin that we're fighting as we speak! No wonder Dumbledore did what he did! I'm almost glad he pu-"
"Shut up cousin, because you're not going to like what happens if you keep talking."
Sirius looked up when he heard Narcissa and immediately realized that all of Lily's friends had their wands drawn and pointed at him.
"Hm, I should have figured you wouldn't have been able to beat me alone."
"Sirius was you not just hanging in MID AIR choking on NOTHING" Lupin yelled from the back.
"I'll come to visit my Godson later when James is here to keep the snakes out." He spat as he tried to walk away only to find that his body couldn't move.
He turned his head only to see Lily Evans with her arm extended and her hand stretched out, endlessly keeping him rooted in the palace. Sirius looked into the redhead's eyes and could see the power swirling in her green eyes.
"And who said you were allowed to leave?"
October 31st, 1987, Yeovil England
"And who said you were allowed to leave?"
All the women gathered shivered due to the memory of the last time that sentence was said. They all looked at each other and then at the child who was still holding them all in place.
"Harry," Poppy breathed while trying to get herself to move. "Is that you?"
Harry looked at the matron and his eyes narrowed. "It is, but why would that matter to you?"
"We were friends with your mother," Pandora explained while trying to figure out how to overpower the boy's magical hold on her.
"You're just like her in so many ways," Poppy added
"Yeah and just as terrifying too," Marlene mumbled under her breath earning a glare from Dorcas.
"Where have you been all these years?" Amelia asked while also trying to free herself.
"Have you been well? Have you been eating? Have you-"
"Silence!" Harry yelled, cutting off whatever sentence Poppy was about to say. "My whereabouts are not of your concern."
"They are when we are the ones that are supposed to be taking care of you!"
Harry glanced at Poppy and raised an eyebrow. "You are supposed to be taking care of me?"
"Well…it was supposed to be your Godmother an-"
"Who was my Godmother?" He asked with a hint of urgency in his voice. He had used up a lot of magic and wasn't sure he could keep them rooted in their place for much longer.
"My older sister, Bellatrix Black," Narcissa answered, causing the child's eyes to widen.
It was in that split second of shock that the hold on all the women's bodies was released from Harry's grip. Amelia was the first to move and immediately whipped out her wand.
"Harry Potter, you are now under arrest for murder," She pointed her wand at the child who closed his eyes and sighed.
"That would not be the smartest idea Madam Bones," Harry said tiredly. "Who knows, I could be of use to you."
That raised a few eyebrows. "How could you be of use to me?" Amelia asked, her wand still pointed at Harry's chest.
"I know you've been trying to solve the disappearances of Edgar and Kelsy Bones."
"Yeah?" Amelia asked with a chuckle. "What could you, a 7-year-old, tell me about them that I, the Head of the Auror department, don't already know?"
"Um Ames, considering the person that he killed was under him, he probably does know quite a lot" Marlene pointed out to her friend who sighed.
"Petrificus Totalus!"
Harry slumped to the ground as he felt his body stiffen. He could have avoided the spell, but he knew that if he didn't want to end up thrown in prison it was in his best interest to cooperate.
"Alright Harry, this is what we're gonna do. We're gonna take you to… a place and we will talk about what's going to happen to you next." Amelia looked at her friends who all nodded their heads in acceptance. Amelia then walked toward her friends and huddled around them.
"We can NOT let anyone find out about this!" Amelia whispered to the group.
"Where are we gonna take him anyway?" Poppy asked while looking back at her now-damaged home.
"I was just gonna bring him back to my house since all of our stuff is there anyway. Susan should still be with the Greengrass' and will be there till the morning." Amelia explained to her friends who all nodded.
After finalizing the plan, Amelia walked back over to the still-bound Harry and placed a hand on his shoulder.
"Are we ready girls?" Amelia asked while looking at her friends. Everyone nodded in the affirmative and they all disappeared into the night with a loud crack.
Once they were back in Amelia's house, Narcissa grabbed Harry's wand and placed it into her pocket. She then levitated the child onto a chair and bound him to a rope that she summoned. Once that was finished, she called out to the group who all made their way back to the parlor so that the interrogation could begin.
"Cissy, where's his wand?" Marlene asked as she placed her new glass of gin onto the table.
Narcissa reached into her pocket and tossed the wand to her fellow blonde who started to closely examine it. "There's no trace on it," She said after giving it a flick, causing a vase to shatter. "It's a powerful bitch too."
"Yes, it is,"
The two women looked over at Harry who was still tied to the chair. He gently smiled at them, but it only served to make him seem creepier and more off-putting.
"It's thirteen inches made from vine wood." He explained
"What about the core?" Amelia asked as she entered the room with the others. They had been discussing the questions that they were going to ask Harry.
Harry tilted his head to the side and frowned. He then looked at Marlene whose eyes were staring at him. "I think Mrs. McKinnon knows what its core is."
Marlene looked at Amelia and let out a shaky breath. She then placed the wand onto the table and twisted her hand nervously. "Velea hair, Phoenix feather, and…something else." She looked at the child in front of her who smiled.
"The thing you are trying to identify would be the blood of a thestral." He said calmly to the group.
"You know it's funny," Pandora chuckled as she sat down on a couch facing Harry. "Your mother was obsessed with the streams."
"Was she Pandora Greengrass?" Harry asked while tilting his head innocently. "Just like how you were obsessed with finding and talking to a Gryffen?"
"How did you know that?" Pandora asked the child as she checked her mental defenses for a breach.
"Your mind was like an open door," Harry smiled, causing the group to shiver. "All I had to do was walk in."
"How can you do that?" Amelia asked, deciding to start the interrogation now. "Pandora is relatively good at the mind arts. A child should not be able to read her mind effortlessly.
Harry shrugged his shoulders as he tried to get comfortable. "I have always been able to read people's emotions. Once my…employer discovered this, they trained me relentlessly in my abilities."
"Yes, let's talk about your 'employers'." Amelia took out a notebook and handed it to Marlene who nodded and started taking notes. "Who are they?"
"If you are looking for names I don't have them," Harry looked Amelia dead in the eyes and continued. "However, I can tell you that we are the Spectors."
The name got a varied reaction from all the women gathered. Amelia and Marelen's eyes widened. Poppy's eyes narrowed and the grip she had on the couch tightened. Dorcas and Pandora had confusion written all over their faces and Narcissa had no visible reaction, something that didn't go unnoticed by Harry.
"Um, what are the Spectors?" Dorcas asked quietly.
"Remember that letter Lily got on her pillow that one night in our 5th year?" Poppy asked the blonde Ravenclaw who nodded her head. "That was from them."
"But who ARE they?" She asked again. "I don't remember reading about them in school nor have I seen their name come up in the archives."
Amelia took a deep breath through her mouth and let it out through her nose. "That's because they aren't in the history books OR the archives. At least not your archives."
"Yea Dory, they aren't exactly your department." Marlene leveled her gaze at the boy in front of her and pointed her wand at him. "You are going to tell us everything you know about them right now or we will kill you."
Harry did not waver nor flinch at the death threat that was just given to him. He instead raised his eyebrow. "And what do I get out of it?"
"To keep living?" Amelia responded. "You have to understand that this isn't your ordinary group of killers."
"No, but I am, to my knowledge, the only one you've ever captured in the 280 years the Ministry of Magic has existed"
Amelia gritted her teeth and once again had to take a deep breath. "What do you want, Harry?" She asked the child.
Harry looked at Amelia for a second and opened his mouth, almost like he was going to respond, but now words left his mouth. He honestly didn't know what he wanted. He knew that he was a child, so that knocked out most of the normal answers.
'What do I want?' he asked himself. Then, out of the recesses of his mind came his answer.
~~Flashback~~
September 17th, 1985, Somewhere in Germany
Harry looked at the building he had just lit on fire and tried to fight the tears coming to his eyes. It wasn't the first time he had ever been killed, but it was the first time it had ever affected him like this.
"Raven!"
He turned around and saw his commander running towards him at full speed. She was around 4'6 and wore the same all-black robes as he did, but her mask was off. She had long blonde hair and bright blue eyes and was smiling at him.
"Blue? What's wrong, the mission was completed! Right?" He asked as he too took off his mask to face his commander and first friend.
"Raven…we're free!" She smiled, tears of joy falling from her face. She ran up and hugged him and lifted him into the air. "Raven, we can run away! We don't have to go back there! We can be free!"
"Blue, what are you talking about? We have to report back!"
"Raven, we set something on fire! If we don't come back they will just assume we died in the fire!"
"Blue…Are you…leaving?" The child asked while looking at his friend.
Blue looked at Harry and then back at the raging glow of the fire.
"Raven…I…I can't keep doing this. I…there's gotta be something else out there."
"And? What if there isn't?!" Harry yelled at his friend. "What if it's just the same thing every day? Blue please! We could be tog, ether! You said we would always be together!" He screamed, tears threatening to roll down his face.
"That's why you need to come with me! It would be you and me against the world! We could get a family! We could have a mom!" Blue grabbed his arm and started to pull but he wouldn't move.
"Blue…I…I can't go," Harry cried. "I…I can't leave, they'll come after me. They'll come after you and…I can't let them do that. I need to stay behind to make sure they don't go looking for you!" Harry gently moved his arm from hers and looked her in the eyes.
"Blue, I'm sorry."
Blue looked at Harry and smiled at him. She had been assigned to him since the beginning and had grown close to him. They had been through so much together. Mission after mission they grew closer and closer till they were inseparable, but sometimes, things had to end.
"Raven I understand." She walked over to him and pulled him into a tight hug. She could feel the boy breaking down in her arms and she too shed some tears, but she knew that she had to let him go if he was to make it back to the portkey in time.
"Just promise me something ok?" She asked as she let him go. "If you ever get an opportunity to escape, take it. No matter how crazy it is. I know you aren't built for this kind of life, so please, escape it. I know you can do it." She pulled the boy in for one more hug and then let him go for a final time.
"Oh!" She reached for a lock of her hair and plucked it from her head. "It's for your wand. Since you'll need to get a new one." She placed the hair into his hand and closed his hand into a fist. "Stay safe out there Raven."
"Wait!" Harry called out to his friend as she was running away. "Is this the last time we'll see each other?" He yelled to his friend who smiled.
"I'm sure we'll see each other again. It might be a while tho."
"If it is then…thank you Blue," He said as the tears ran down his face. "Thank you for everything."
Blue smiled at the child and whipped a tear from her eye. "No Problem!" She turned back around and ran deeper into the woods, the glow of the fire getting farther
"No problem at all…"
~~Flashback End~~
"I want out." He finally said after many minutes of pause. "I want to get out of this. I want to be rid of this organization for good"
"And where would you go?" Amelia asked him with a raised eyebrow. "You are a full-fledged wizard with a wand and a body count. You can't just go to an orphanage and expect to fit in."
"Didn't my parents leave someone to be my guardian in case they died?" Harry asked her point blank. "From what I've heard about James Potter he was filthy rich. And from what I know of Lily Potter she had a plan for everything. Including her untimely death at the hands of Voldemort."
The six women gathered all looked at each other and then back at Harry.
"You planned this, didn't you?" Poppy asked the boy who smiled.
"It was a gamble, but hopefully in the end it pays off." He said with a small smile.
"We need to talk about this," Poppy looked at Amelia who nodded her head. The women all got up and left the boy alone in the parlor. Once everyone was in the kitchen, Amelia put up a silencing spell.
"Alright, who did Lily say should take care of him in case she's died?" Amelia asked the group who all looked at Narcissa.
"Why is everyone looking at me?" She asked with her arms raised in the air defensively.
"Because you were the only one present when she had her will changed!" Poppy yelled, her hormones getting the best of her. "Sorry, I just-"
"Poppy it's ok," Dorcas comforted the pregnant witch who took some deep breaths.
"Well, it would have been Bella but she's in Azkaban for murder. Then it would have been Sirius Black but he's dead." Narcissa explained to the group whose eyes all widened.
"Who was next?" Pandora asked quietly.
"Poppy was next," Narcissa said, causing the medical witch to smile. "Then Pandora, Marlene and Dorcas, Amelia, and I being last."
Poppy eyes lit up when she heard that she was going to be the one that was going to adopt Harry. She had been the driving force behind trying to find him for years and now that he was found, she could now raise him.
"He can't leave that group," Amelia noted while looking at Poppy whose face changed from jubilation to rage instantly.
"What do you mean he stays in that assassin group?!" She yelled.
"Exactly what I mean. He's too valuable to the DMLE for him not to be in it."
"So then what do you want him to do?" Pandora asked with a raised eyebrow. "He legally needs to go to school and he can't do that if he's an assassin!"
"I'll worry about that, but he needs to stay in that group." She turned to Poppy who was still fuming. "If you adopt him, can you let him still be an assassin?"
Poppy looked at her friend and took a deep breath. At this point, she was just happy that she was going to be able to adopt him. She nodded her head and sighed. "Fine, I'll let him be in the assassin group."
"Thank you, Poppy, the DMLE owes you a great debt." Amelia smiled and let down the silence barrier. All the women walked into the foray to find Harry with his eyes closed and objects flying around him.
"Poppy Pomfrey is my new mother?" He asked. His eyes were still closed and the objects were still flying around her.
"How the fu-"
"He can read our minds! He's been doing it since he was a baby!" Poppy yelled, interjecting Marlene who glared at her in return. "Yes Harry, I will be adopting you, however Y-"
"I'll still have to be a member of the Spectors." He finished her sentence, much to the women's ire.
"Young man if this is going to work you can't be reading my mind!"
Harry opened his eyes and smiled. "Maybe we should try this again," He stood up and walked over to Poppy and held out his hand. "My name is Harry Potter and I am your new son.
Poppy walked over and shook the boy's hand with tears streaming down her face. She looked at his green eyes and smiled.
"Hello Harry," She said sweetly as she pulled the boy into a tight hug. "My name is Poppy Pomfrey, and I'm your new mum."
The other women left the room to give the new family some more space as Amelia went to the Ministry to get the necessary paperwork for Poppy to legally adopt Harry.
"I did it Blue," He whispered once Poppy let go of him.
"I finally did it."
