Chapter 2: Still at Gringotts/Organizing a Search Party Begins

Previously:

So, after they got dressed and had a bit of breakfast they headed out immediately. They arrived in front of Gringotts and entered the bank. As soon as they had entered; a goblin met them and motioned them to follow.

Harriet and Tom followed the goblin and was shocked when they entered the private room magic automatically put up privacy barriers.

"Lady Potter, you have a lot of titles to inherit as does your Lord husband." The goblin said.

Both Tom and Harriet were confused.

The goblin saw their confusion and said, "We understand that before you two were bonded, you're wife was emancipated at the age of fourteen when she entered the Tri-Wizard Tournament therefore she was able to make her own decisions. Also, we understand that Albus Dumbledore was never your true magical guardian. We will let you hear your parents will as well as your godfather, Lord Sirius Black's will."

So, Harriet and Tom did whatever the goblin suggested after did their inheritance test as well as hearing the wills and they continued talking afterwards as well.

...

"So, what exactly do Tom and I have to do now?" Harriet asked curiously.

"Considering, you two are bonded because a potion; you two will still have to consumate the marriage/bond regardless. Also, Lady Potter, we suggest that you let us take off those binds on your magical core and the same for you, Lord Riddle." The goblin said.

"So technically our marriage/bond is real and not a joke?" Voldemort said.

"Yes, Lord and Lady Riddle which means that you'll have to consumate your marriage/bond soon after we undo the bindings that are on both of your magical cores." The goblin said.

Both Harriet and Tom agreed with the goblin was suggesting, but they wondered what members of The Order of The Phoenix as well as the Staff of Hogwarts will think of their savior and him being married suddenly because of an accident.

Meanwhile, at Grimmauld Place headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix...

Sirius walked into the family tree room. He remembered showing it to Harriet before the had returned to Hogwarts. He looked at the family tree and was shocked to see Harriet's name with a line connecting to a male named Tom Marvalo Riddle who he knew as Voldemort.

"KREACHER!" Sirius yelled.

"Nasty Master be calling Kreacher?" Kreacher said.

"Yes, there's to be a meeting of The Order of The Phoenix here to organize a search party for Harriet; but she is with her husband the Dark Lord, Voldemort. I am confused as to how my goddaughter is married to him." Sirius said.

"Nasty Master's goddaughter is married to the Dark Lord?" Kreacher questioned.

Sirius looked at the elf and said, "Yes, she is and we can't let anyone from Order see this. Except for Remus because I know him; he'll figure it out or he'll threaten me to get information." Sirius said sheepishly.

"I agree, Master Lord Black. Young Misteress is still your heir but nosy goat wants to keep you locked up and probably doesn't want young Misteress to learn of her inheritance from her parents." Kreacher suggested.

"I believe you're right, Kreacher." Sirius said.

A few minutes later...

The order members were arriving and Sirius along with Kreacher created a barrier around the Black Family Tree and the only ones to see it will be those that he trusts and to those that are actually loyal to his goddaughter.

Then Sirius left the room and Kreacher followed him; however, Sirius whispered to Kreacher, "Looks like I'll have to buy them a wedding present later."

Kreacher was surprised by what his Master had just said.

Sirius chuckled and said, "Their marriage may be unexpected but I believe that there may be a reason for

Kreacher smiled.

Sirius entered the kitchen with Kreacher following him which shocked everyone.

"Sirius, I am afraid that your goddaughter has disappeared. Severus has tried looking all over the castle for her." Dumbledore stated.

"I see and why isn't there a search party for her?" Sirius questioned.

Dumbledore spoke by saying, "We decided to have an emergency meeting in order to organize a search party for her."

"Sirius, Severus searched the whole castle for her before reporting her missing. Miss Granger brought Harriet's things here for you to keep in case she comes here." McGonagall said.

"Much appreciated, Minerva and Hermione." Sirius said.

They continued talking about creating a search party for Harriet and trying to find her.

Back with Harriet and Voldemort...

Harriet and Voldemort were done with the goblin healers, but were put in a special room for them to recover from their treatment of where the bindings on their magic was removed.

Harriet woke up to a warm body next to her; she was amazed at how young he looked but it shocked her that he looked like he did when she met him at the age of twelve. She wondered if magic had let him regain his youthful self because he looked very handsome.

She ran her fingers through his hair 90which caused him to let out a little moan of pleasure which shocked her a little bit.

"Tom, wake up." Harriet said.

"I don't want to." Tom answered.

"Honey, we need to prepare for our wedding night." Harriet said giggling.

Tom opened one eye and said, "I know my dear but we still need our rest for a few more minutes."

"Well, I guess I will have to go shopping afterwards because if I am to be your Lady then I must dress the part. Right?" Harriet said.

Tom opened his eyes wide at what Harriet said and he was amazed that she was willingly going to consumate their marriage with him.

Harriet smiled and said, "I bet the sex with you would be amazing. Besides, believe it or not I thought you were quite sexy as well as handsome when I was twelve and I still believe you to be. Also, during your time with the goblin healers; I believe they gave your sixteen year old body back."

Tom stared at Harriet in shock that even though she had seen the shade of him in her second year that she had found him, sexy and handsome; but when he thought about it was Harriet's way of telling him that she found him very attractive.

Harriet looked at Tom and giggled.

"What's so funny, my dear?" Tom questioned.

"I was just thinking of Dumbledore's reaction seeing us together as well as seeing you young again." Harriet said giggling.

Tom stared at his wife and said, "As the muggle saying goes, 'It would be priceless ' because he's an old coot."

"Tom?"

"Hm?"

"Do you think that what happened to us has happened to others?"

"I don't know, Harriet. But if it has then it will be causing chaos for the magical world."

"Tom, I hope that they will be able to figure it out."

"As do I, Harriet. Also, I'll have to explain this situation to my inner circle."

"I understand, Tom. However?"

"What is it, love?"

"I wonder how my Godfather, Lord Sirius Black and Remus Lupin will react to the fact that I'm married to you, Tom."

"Now that's a good question, my dear."

"However, the goblins read his will which doesn't make sense if he's alive?" Harriet questioned.

"Unless, he took a certain potion known as the 'living death' or there's a possibility that the potion that caused us to marry also did something to right a wrong in some way. " Tom suggested.

"I have to admit that this is confusing, Tom."

"I believe that I'm going to have to agree with you on that, my love."

After, they rested they went to the will reading and got a very big shock.

Back at Grimmauld Place...

Everyone was exhausted from searching for Harriet; when an owl flew in dropping a piece of parchment in front of Sirius Black.

Sirius opened the parchment and read:

Lord Sirius Black,

We are informing you that someone told your goddaughter that you had passed and we had to read your will to her.

She was simply confused that the will was aware that you were alive and well. She explained the possibility of what may have happened.

We simply request that the potion that was the cause be examined immediately because it seems that you were brought back from the dead or the potion may have caused a miracle.

Griphook

Sirius was stunned.

Severus had looked over Sirius's shoulder as well as Remus and read the parchment as well.

"What does this mean, Albus?" Molly questioned.

"I don't know." Albus stated.

Suddenly, a snowy owl dropped a letter in Sirius's lap.

"Thanks, Hedwig." Sirius said opening the letter.

Sirius looked at the letter and was surprised by what it said; he wasn't sure what to say.

"Well, are you going to tell us what it says?" Arthur questioned.

Sirius read the letter out loud:

Sirius,

I can only assume that something strange is going on because it is like whatever happened in 5th year never happened. I'm not sure that I completely understand it nor does my husband. It's as if something or someone as changed the outcome because of a potion that was created either by accident or without the knowledge of the effects of the potion.

If Professor Snape is with you, have him check the potion that Ron and Neville were working on because it could be the key to all of this.

Also, my husband has a theory that this potion may be the first of its kind; so keep an eye out for anything else that may be strange or unexpected.

Harriet

P.S.

I already assume that you know who my husband is, Sirius.

Everyone was stunned by Harriet's letter and looked at Sirius.

"Padfoot, what does she mean that you know who her husband is?" Remus questioned.

Sirius sighed and said, "I know who he is. So, she's with him and it seems well sounds like her marriage to him is real."

"What do you mean, mutt?" Severus questioned.

"If Harriet's husband's theory is correct about the potion that caused this incident that means that this potion is capable of doing whatever is said by the person's tone voice if they haven't washed the contents of it off them before it seeps into their skin." Sirius stated.

"Is there any way to reverse it?" Tonks asked.

"Not unless Severus has some of the potion contents and is able to dump the entire anadote onto the person causing this chaos. Plus, Harriet said that it supposedly started at the beginning of this year right after a potion explosion in the dungeons." Sirius said.

Severus went wide eyed suddenly and said, "The potion explosion that Ms. Potter is referring to is the one created by Ron Weaseley and Mr. Longbottom."

Everyone in the room was in shock.

"So, Harriet is married to someone at the age of sixteen?" McGonagall questioned.

Sirius nodded.

"But to who?" Molly asked.

"Albus, we need to find her and her husband because they could be in danger from Voldemort. " Arthur said.

"We'll organize a search party for them both. Some of you will search the Muggle world while the rest of us search the Wizarding World. " Albus stated.

Everyone agreed unaware that Harriet was still in the Wizarding World and enjoying her time with her husband.

Meanwhile, upstairs the entire conversation had been heard by the Weaseley twins, Hermione and others using the extendable ears. They were shocked by what they had heard then they faced Ron for an explanation.

"What?" Ron said.

"Ron, did you immediately wash off the potion that exploded in class?" Hermione asked.

"No, why?" Ron asked.

Hermione huffed.

Ginny was furious.

"Well little brother, you may have caused Harriet to be married to someone permanently." Fred said.

Ron was shocked.

"Not to mention that you may have caused things to happen that were unexpected. " George said.

"What do you mean?" Ron questioned.

"Let's see there's been unexplainable marriages as well as marriage contracts between pure bloods and muggle borns. Also, the Girl-Who-Lived's unexpected marriage to someone and no one knows who." Fred stated.

"Well, I wouldn't exactly say that."

They all turned to see Sirius Black standing in the door way.

"Sirius, you know who Harriet is married to?" Hermione asked curiously.

Sirius nodded and said, "No doubt in my mind that Harriet was shocked to wake up married to him and he was shocked as well."

"Who is she married to, Lord Black?" George questioned.

Sirius just chuckled then said, "Only those who my goddaughter completely trusts will find out."

"Please tell us!" Fred whined.

"All I can tell you is that Dumbledore plans to do search party and I doubt Harriet will let him find her." Sirius said, "Or her husband will keep Dumbledore from finding her."

Then Sirius left the room.

"Was it just me or was Sirius acting mysterious?" Ginny questioned.

"Yeah, he was but why?" Ron said.

"May be he's testing us." Hermione suggested.

"Maybe?" Ginny said.
