Hey guys sorry about the wait, hopefully this will hold you all for a while until I can get the next one up.

This chapter has more on Charlotte talking with Remus and Sirius soon after Harry leaves for Durmstrang. It will have her discussing a possible return with Harry to Hogwarts, so you'll get an idea of how Harry will wind up going back to Hogwarts but not as a student oh no. Towards the end we'll have a little Harry and Viktor fluff. I also put in something on the Prewett seer history, to make it a bit easier to understand Charlotte's lineage and personal thoughts.

Written by myself and my sister author AnnaBoleyna1536, and we don't own Harry Potter.

Enjoy!

Prewett Castle basement:

"I miss Harry already." two weeks had passed since Christmas came, and it had been the best two weeks of Charlotte, Sirius, Remus, and of course Harry's life. They spent every day together doing all sorts of activities like an ordinary family, or an ordinary wizard family would do. Harry had gone back to Durmstrang just some hours ago, and the house was eerily silent without a child around.

"You can still write to him Sirius, and besides you'll get to watch him play Quidditch this coming Saturday. Family members are invited you know."

"Oh right, didn't you say he's better than James was?" Charlotte laughed.

"He's a great flyer Sirius but only you can see if he's better than James." Remus patted his shoulder. "So…what is this place Charlotte? Seems like it's not just a basement..." Charlotte had brought the two men down to her own little hideaway when her visions needed more information or sense.

"One moment…" she pulled out a gold key with a crescent moon design for the bow and it had a skull engraved on the shank. Once the door was unlocked she let them see inside, it was a room almost like you'd see in a gypsy fortune-telling house. It was a bit fancier than Trelawney's rooms though, including the large crystal ball on a circular table in the middle.

Torches were all around but only some lit up when they entered the room, there were even red and purple curtains all over covering up bookshelves and pictures. There was even a mobile on the ceiling, decorated with gold stars and one silver moon in the middle…which was odd.

"That mobile is actually a family heirloom; it's worth its weight in gold and silver if not more because it was made by the first seer of the Prewett line for their first child." she uncovered a painting, an old painting that didn't move but the color looked fresh. The woman had fair olive skin and mahogany brown hair, chocolate brown eyes that glimmered even in the painting, and she wore a pendant made of gold with a pearly white crescent moon on the front and two diamonds underneath.

"Is that her?"

"Yes, Lady Amarelle Crescentia Prewett from six centuries ago; she wasn't born a Prewett but she married the first Lord Caesar Prewett and her firstborn son and daughter had the seer gift. The family line goes back a long ways, but it's thanks to Lady Amarelle that the family has its journals explaining the gift's power. This ball here was actually hers, and it only works for those in the Prewett bloodline."

"But only if they have the gift correct?" Remus asked.

"Indeed so, Uncle Ignatius was the last seer until I came along though I believe my father might've had some of it. It wasn't strong like mine but Ignatius believed since the first seer was a woman it's stronger in the females of the family."

"Molly didn't inherit it though." Charlotte shrugged.

"Sometimes it skips a generation; it certainly wasn't inherited by any of her sons or even that bratty daughter of hers." Remus and Sirius wouldn't say it aloud but they didn't like Charlotte insulting the Weasleys, though they knew she had good reasons for doing so. Arthur and the elder sons minus Percy she hadn't insulted but the others yes.

"Hey that pendant…" Sirius pointed at the portrait. "Do you have it?"

"I do, right here." Charlotte went over to a shelf, opened a large purple book with no title and inside was the pendant on a red velvet cushion. "Why?"

"I think I've seen it before in pictures, it's supposed to be a powerful amulet isn't it?"

"Yes but it's been in the family for years, no one would trust putting it in a bank. I don't take it out unless I need to, such as a trip or something because I don't trust leaving it alone in the castle."

"The wards around here are excellent though."

"Call it my own source of security; I would die a thousand deaths if I let this precious jewel get lost." she closed the 'book' and put it back. "Now for why I brought you down here, we need to talk about Voldemort."

"Alright." they all sat around the table with the big crystal ball.

"I have been checking my visions more thoroughly, and I can tell you both now that the dark lord will return next year." their eyes widened.

"Next year?" Sirius gaped at her, horror in his eyes.

"Yes, my guess is around the end of the school term and Harry will be dragged into it all. I don't fully know how he'll come back, but he'll need Harry for it."

"No…" Sirius couldn't believe it, Harry had just gotten used to having a family that loved him and now this? "But what could make Harry go back there?"

"The Tri-Wizard tournament." Charlotte let it out. "It will be held next year and the three schools involved will be Durmstrang, Beauxbatons, and Hogwarts. Harry is going to somehow be put into the tournament, and I believe we can stop it."

"How?"

"I can't tell in the visions, but we'll have to go along if Harry is put into the tournament. Viktor will go as well, but we'll have to go as his sponsors since he is underage. Myself as his guardian, his school mates, and you two will be backup just in case. There's going to be issues with his old life, but no one is going to hurt him again with us around."

"I think I can agree on that." Remus said holding Sirius' hand. "Pads, like it or not we can't change that Harry may have to beat Voldemort."

"Yeah." Sirius sighed in defeat.

"Hard to believe I know, but there might be a way to fix this."

"You mean stop it?"

"No Sirius, but I do have some ideas here. For starters though, did you two ever hear of a prophecy concerning Harry and Voldemort?" the two men exchanged looks.

"We did, or I did when James and Lily had to go into hiding. I didn't hear the actual prophecy, only that it involved either Harry or the Longbottom kid so both families had to hide." Sirius cringed at the memory, it had been the last time he saw James, Lily, and Harry before his friends died.

"It is about Harry, that much I know because it was him that Voldemort targeted that night. Unfortunately when it comes down to everything Harry may not have a choice but to kill Voldemort, but that doesn't mean we can't help him."

"How so?"

"My visions are one, but you two can teach him how to do proper defense. He'll learn some in Durmstrang, but who better to teach him than two men with Dark Art experience?" she smiled at that.

"But Harry is only a child; he shouldn't have to do this by himself."

"I agree with you Remus, but Charlotte's right about one thing. If Harry is the only one who can defeat Voldemort then we have to help him all we can. We'll keep him safe and train him but only if necessary, and Charlotte can use her visions to look around can't you?"

"Of course, and I do have a few ideas on how Voldemort could've survived with the killing curse thrown back at him. The problem is that these ideas require more research, so I'll be looking into that while you two keep an eye out in London when you go back."

"I'm not looking forward to it, but we will since we can't just up and move. Charlotte…I don't know how to thank you for what you've done for my godson so far."

"You can thank me by being a good godfather to Harry, and helping him through this with me."

"I will…but did you have to let the Dursleys off so easily?" paying them to leave, and keep quiet, they should've gone to jail for what they'd done to Harry.

"Oh don't worry about that…" Charlotte gave an evil smirk. "They should be picked up anytime now." they looked at her with confusion. "A little something I like to call…magic money." she summoned a briefcase and opened it; inside was filled with muggle pounds.

"What the…?"

"The money I gave them was fake, but when I first went over there I had to present real money so they'd turn Harry over. Muggle police might not be as quick as us wizards, but they aren't stupid plus I sent a little tip to the local department where the Dursleys have gone." Sirius and Remus' eyes widened.

"You weren't letting them off at all."

"Of course not, people like that don't deserve to be free. Soon enough the Ministry will get them, but just before I came back I put a memory block on the Dursleys so they can't tell or see it was I who gave them the money."

"Damn…you really thought it through."

"You bet your arse I did; I assume by the time you get back to London they'll have the Dursleys. You will have to act as if you didn't know, but then again you're a Black and Remus is a werewolf so there won't be anything to go against you. The Dursleys won't remember me, but they'll believe a figure gave them money to give up Harry."

"That's illegal though…"

"Not if a case was done in the European ministry which it was, they had a full investigation and came up with a legitimate plan for me to get Harry. I have all the paperwork and the European Minister is a friend, everything we did was legalized and therefore made Harry's adoption legal."

"Holy hippogriffs…" Sirius looked to Remus. "She's good."

"And don't you forget it." Charlotte laughed.

"Charlotte…is it alright if I ask you a personal question?" Remus spoke up.

"Sure."

"You're twenty-five correct?" she nodded. "How is it you aren't married yet? I mean you could be, you're young, beautiful, talented, and motherly to Harry. It's just a surprise to me…" Charlotte frowned slightly.

"Well for one thing I can't see my own future, so I can't tell if I'll ever marry or not. As for why…I gave up on finding love years ago due to the fact that those who knew of my abilities used me for fortunes." that shocked the two men.

"So…you haven't found the right man."

"No, and I don't believe I will but I'm more than glad to be a mother to Harry. He deserves happiness, and I can give him that with you both." Charlotte had her heart broken too much, she didn't think looking for a husband was important especially when a second war was coming.

"Yes." they agreed.

"Alright, now I need to do some more research for an hour so you two can tour the castle but keep in mind some of the house elves are a bit touchy about the items."

"Got it, we were actually planning on going into the gardens."

"Fine with me, I'll join you both for tea later." they left her alone and after toning down the lights in the room Charlotte took the pendant back out and put it on her neck. "Ancestor Amarelle, hear my call and guide me." the crystal ball glowed slightly, and a face appeared.

"Hello Charlotte, it's been a while."

"Yes it has, and I am glad to see you again ancestor." the woman, Amarelle smiled.

"You are well I see, now…what do you require of me?"

Meanwhile at Durmstrang:

"Harry!" Harry was about finished with his DA report when he heard Viktor calling him.

"Hullo Viktor, how are you?" they were alone on a bench outside, the same place where they'd brought out some of their own personal secrets.

"Good, how was your Christmas?"

"It was great, best Christmas I've had in years." he showed the gold pendant.

"You liked my gift?"

"Yes, but I still feel bad I didn't get you one." Viktor just waved his hands.

"Don't worry on it; do you know how many crazed fans give me gifts on Holidays? Half of them sweets spiked with love potions or scented perfumes…makes me sick." he made a gagging face and Harry laughed.

"I can only imagine how most fans get when they see you play."

"You'd be surprised. Are you busy?"

"Actually working on my DA report, but it's almost done." Harry closed his book and put it in his bag with the report. "So what's up?"

"I just got away from Jean; he's been bugging me since we came back."

"I see, did he try slipping you a drink?" Viktor groaned.

"I don't take any drinks unless I make them myself; a little something my mother taught me when I became a pro. She said some fans can get crazy so I have to be careful."

"Smart woman, did your Christmas go alright?"

"Yes it did, and I told my parents I made a new friend."

"You mean me?" Harry remembered how Viktor was afraid he wouldn't be able to tell his parents he was gay without his father getting angry.

"Yes, and they want to meet you."

"They do? But how…?"

"It turns out my parents are going to visit the school next weekend, they want to discuss some Ministry business with the headmaster and they wanted a chance to see you before they left." Harry felt some nerves tense up, he and Viktor had decided to go slow with their relationship but for his parents to see him so soon?

"Are you sure that they'll like me?"

"My mother will, I've told her a lot about how you do in school and how you're great at Quidditch. My father…well he's a little different but he'll like you, besides he has high respect for your mum."

"Really?"

"Turns out Lady Prewett is a well-respected woman all in Europe, she's made many changes to many lives and no one is brave enough to go against her. I remember when she donated a mass amount of gold to an orphanage for magical children, and a time when she helped a poor family pay off their debts so they could keep their home. She's practically a saint to everyone."

"Except old Montclair, she hates her."

"Old flames, oh well but I can say that everyone in the Ministry knows your mum. I'll bet some of them are surprised that she'd adopted you."

"Yeah she told me about that over break, they expect her to bring me to parties and such but she's already told them I won't go unless I want to. She did as if I wanted to attend the Minister's ball next month, but I don't know if I will."

"I go with my parents each year, it's more of a charity get-together than a ball but it's always for a good cause. Normally I don't bring dates, but if you want to go we can go together, that's if you want others to know?"

"Won't the press be there?"

"Likely, but the Minister would keep it quiet if we asked or your mum could. We have time on that though, no need to rush." Viktor put an arm around Harry. "Are you glad to be back?"

"In a way yes, I'm glad all my new friends had great Christmases. We were going to go practice some Quidditch later; do I need to ask if you will?" Viktor laughed.

"Of course not, I could use a good workout anyway. Now…are you going to let me snog you?" Harry gave him a questioning look.

"Need you ask?" Viktor smiled, put his hand on the side of Harry's face, stroked some black hair, and leaned in to kiss him. Harry's arms slowly went around Viktor's neck and hugged him close, making the kiss deepen between them.

'He's a good kisser…or maybe it's just my first real kiss.' Viktor pulled away after a few moments, but not before giving Harry's lip a gentle bite.

"Was that alright?" Harry smiled.

"It was more than alright." he breathed out. "Do it again?"

"As you wish." they kissed again, but this time Harry felt his legs moving up and around Viktor's waist and that seemed to snap him back.

"Viktor…wait…" Harry let go.

"I'm sorry Harry, that was too much." he touched Harry's arm.

"No…no it wasn't I just didn't want to go too fast. You know how I said…?"

"We go slowly, that's all for now. Harry I do care about you, I know you've been hurt but if you feel like I'm going over the limit then tell me. I don't want to hurt you."

"You won't, I know you won't. I just…I don't know Viktor I'm still having some trust issues."

"I would be surprised if you weren't, it's understandable. You just need time." Harry was glad Viktor was trying to understand. He couldn't help but feel it wasn't going to last though, what if Viktor tired of him?

"Yeah…hey why don't we just head back I'm sure the others will wonder where we are?"

"Took the words right out of my mouth, come." Harry grabbed his bag and followed Viktor back into the school. Gerald, Devon, Nikolai, and Max were all waiting and they smiled seeing the two.

"Hey guys, up for some Quidditch?" Max asked.

"Yeah, let's change." Harry felt that he should probably tell the others more about his old life, but he wouldn't say anything just yet. He didn't know what they would think if he told them, but he didn't like keeping too many secrets about himself.

'I'll tell them one day, I have to but only when the time is right.'

Sorry to leave it off like this, but I promise you the next one will be worth the wait.

It will start off with the Dursleys being caught and brought to the Ministry, with the Weasleys involved also and a little something on Hermione and Ron. Some of you can only guess what they're going through though right? It will then go to Harry meeting Viktor's parents, but is Viktor going to tell them the truth or just let them believe he and Harry are friends?

If you have anything you'd like me to add to the story, please tell me in a review and I'll see if I can fit it in. I pretty much have this story planned out, but I like to please my readers. I'll be sure to give you credit if your idea is used, it's only fair.

R&R

Later!
