Chapter 10
(Grimmauld Pl)
The next morning, Harry was awake and making breakfast. Rias came up behind him and kissed him on the shoulder. She was in his pajama top and a pair of slippers. "Good morning Hari-Kun." She said he kissed her back.
"Good morning Rias-chan." He said, Lily, came down and saw Harry making breakfast.
"Good morning you two." She said.
"Morning Mom." Said Harry.
"Good morning, Mrs. Potter." Said Rias.
"You are my daughter in law Rias, you can call me 'Mom'."
"Alright, Mom." Said Rias, Harry continued to make breakfast.
"I have to think I'm cooking for those two hippos, because of Bella." He mumbled, Lily overheard him.
"Excuse me?" She said, Harry froze.
'Shit!' He thought. "Um."
"Mom, it wasn't his fault." Said Rias, Lily looked at her son.
"You were raised by the Durselys, weren't you?"
"Yeah," he said timidly.
"If that old man ain't dead," she growled. "He soon will be." Harry continued to make breakfast with Lily and Rias's help. Everyone else came down after they cleaned up. He saw Bellatrix and kissed her, "good morning Bella."
"Good morning Harry," she said as she kissed him back. He set a plate of sausage in front of her.
"You enjoy that, I'm making enough for everyone." She nodded and took a bite.
Meanwhile, Harry was thinking about what to do with the others. "What's wrong?" Asked Rias.
"What do you use for your peerage?"
"The 'Evil Piece system', why?"
"What is that?"
"Half of a chess set, why?" Harry was thinking, "you want to do that?"
"Yeah but make 5 to 6 more pieces."
"For instance…"
"A pair of princes, princesses, an emperor, an empress, an amazon, and either a galleon or calvary."
"And how would they be?"
"Okay the prince piece would be a combination of a [King] and [Knight], the princess would be a [Queen] and [Bishop], the emperor would be a powerful [King], the empress would be a powerful [Queen], the amazon would be a combination of a [Queen] and a [Rook] and the galleon or calvary would be a [Pawn] / [Knight] combo but, the galleon would be seafaring." Rias thought about it.
"That's not a bad idea." She said, "I'll contact Sirzechs."
So she does, "this was Hari's idea?" He asked.
"Yeah pretty much."
"Let me talk to Ajuka, he might like it." So he does and Sirzechs was right, Ajuka did like it.
"Who came up with the idea?" He asked.
"The new lord of Death," said Sirzechs.
"I give him all the 'Evil Pieces' he needs with the new pieces."
"Let's change the heads into skulls."
"Okay." So he worked on them.
(Grimmauld Pl.)
A week later, Rias had gone over to Harry. "Hello Harry," she said. "I have a package for you." She handed him a large box. Harry opened it up and saw boxes inside. Then he took one out and opened it, there awaiting him were gold and red chess pieces. The [Emperor] side was gold and red whereas the [Empress] were red and gold.
"That was quick," he said. "I didn't expect them for a month."
"He had some ready and waiting. Now, all we have to do is tune them into your aura." So they looked at the pieces and the 'heads' of the pieces turned into skulls.
"Whoa," he said. "That is so cool," the eye sockets and teeth were gold or red, in the case of the [Empress] pieces. The emperor piece looked like a [King] piece but with a crown on it. The empress piece was a [Queen] piece with curves. The prince was a thinner [King], the princess was a smaller [Queen], the amazon was a combination of a [Queen] and a [Rook]. "Looks like he gave me [Galleons]. And They Are Pirate Ships!" Rias looked and was impressed.
Lily went over to see the pieces, she picked a [Galleon] piece. "This is beautiful," she said.
"Lord Beelzebub prides himself on his work." Said Rias.
"It looks like he took a chunk of ruby and carved them."
"Yeah," said Harry. "And put a vein of gold through them."
"Vis versa on the [Empress] pieces." Said Rias as she handed Lily a [Pawn], it was a [Empress] one.
"So how do I tune them to my aura?" Asked Harry.
"Just focus your magic through them." Said Rias, Harry nodded and did that. All of the sets started to glow and became empowered. Then the [Emperor] piece came out of the box Harry had and floated in front of him. Just then words had come to him.
"I, Harry James, of the Potter clan and 'Master of Death', do solemnly swear to be a right and just emperor. A trustworthy one to make all believe in and honored to follow my orders." He said and the piece had gone into his chest and he had become empowered. The Hollows symbol was now red and gold. "Wow! What do you think Rias?"
"I like it." Harry was now buffed and looked 'yummy' in her eyes.
"Okay," he said. "They are powered. You want to go, first Mom?"
"Sure," she said and he opened up a box and the pieces were red as if it was made out of pieces of ruby with a vein of jade running through them for the [Emperor] pieces and vis versa for the [Empress] pieces.
"This the set you want?" She nodded, he took a piece to look at it and smiled. "Okay," he picked up the [Emperor] piece. Then focused on her, "repeat after me. I, [state your name]."
"I, Lilith Marie Potter nee Evans."
"Do solemnly swear."
"Do solemnly swear."
"To be a right and just Emperor."
"To be a right and just Emperor."
"A trustworthy one to make all believe in and honored to follow my orders."
"A trustworthy one to make all believe in and honored to follow my orders." Harry place the [Emperor] piece into her chest and she started to glow and lift off of the floor. Her outfit changed into a shirt, jeans, and boots. She also had on a Hollows pendant.
It was ruby and jade, "welcome to the faction Mom." She grabbed him and hugged him, and kissed him on the cheek.
"Finally, I can be the mother I want to be to you." She said. She slightly stroked his arms, he hugged her back. "I think you should do Cedric next."
Harry nodded, "but he's not here." He said he went to the floo. "Diggory Manor." Just then a face appeared.
"Can I help you?" It said.
"Yes, hello I'm Harry Potter. May I speak with Either Cedric Diggory or his father Amos?"
"Please hold," just then another face appeared.
"Hey Harry," it was Cedric.
"Ced! We finally decided on what we're going to do with the faction."
"Really? What?"
"Well, the devils have something called the 'Evil Piece System'. So we're going that route, but there's going to be 6 more pieces."
"What are they?'
"Galleon, Amazon, Princess, Prince, Emperor, and Empress. 2 Princesses and 2 Princes. I have a good ten sets, twelve counting mine, and moms. Now, this is the offer; you'll be a member of my faction and you can have your peerage."
"I've already signed the papers," said Cedric. "Let me through." So Harry stepped back and Cedric had come out. He was in a T-shirt, slacks, and boots. He just got cleaned up and his hair was wet.
"Good to see you," they shook hands. "You should see these pieces."
"Oh yeah, what do they look like?" Harry led him into the dining room.
(Dining room)
Bella was eating some fruit and drinking some milk. "Hello Bella." Said Cedric.
"Cedric," she said. The box was in the middle of the table. He pulled out the ten sets, and they looked at them. "Hair-Bear, I wish to join your peerage."
"Okay, what piece do you want?"
"Can I look at them?" Harry grabbed his set and opened it. Then slid the set at her so she can see them.
"While you're doing that, I'm going to show Cedric the rest." So he did, Harry was right they were beautiful pieces.
"Who created these pieces?" Cedric asked.
"A devil name Ajuka Beelzebub, he prides himself in his work."
"Which are which?" He showed Cedric the pieces. He picked up a gold and obsidian stone.
"What do you think?"
"I like this, I want this set."
"Okay," Harry took the piece and held it in front of him. "Repeat after me; I, [state your name]."
"I, Cedric Amos Diggory."
"Do solemnly swear."
"Do solemnly swear."
"To be a right and just Emperor."
"To be a right and just Emperor."
"A trustworthy one to make all believe in and honored to follow my orders."
"A trustworthy one to make all believe in and honored to follow my orders." Harry place the [Emperor] piece into his chest and he lifted in the air. A mechanics shirt was now on him, with an anthropomorphic honey badger as a biker on the back of the shirt.
"Welcome to the faction, Ced." They shook hands.
