I'm giving you a longer section this time as I have finals approaching and may not have time to write anything coherent anytime soon.

Chapter 5

"Only if I don't do it first Mammon," Xanxus growled.

"Mou. I'll use the Mist Corridor to get us to the meeting. Stand beside me daughter."

Jade shrugged and stood next to her father and Xanxus joined them. Then suddenly they were in a different room with multiple others gathered around a conference table.

"That is an interesting way to travel," Jade said. "I prefer it to those port-keys."

"Whoa! It's a Mini-Mammon! That's EXTREMELY strange!"

"I agree, Hayato. Who is this?" Tsuna asked bemused by the unfamiliar teenager. "Hello Xanxus," he added seeing the Varia Boss appear.

Regulus, still without his infamous hood, had a smile on his usually blank face. "This is my daughter Jade."

The conference room went silent. Then it exploded into sound as everyone began to demand answers.

"Daughter! How the hell do you have a twelve year old when we were cursed for decades?" Came from the irked Reborn, his gun drawn.

"VOOOI!!" Came from Squalo, his hand on his sword, a second away from drawing the blade out.

"Shishishishis the Prince wants answers from Mammy. Why did the Prince not know about her?" demanded Belphegor.

Dino was quiet, observing the chaos around him, sensing there was more to come, while Kyouya stiffened at the presence of an unfamiliar Cloud in his territory.

"Shut Up!" Xanxus yelled into the cacophony. "Mammon has a long story and Jade is my Cloud."

The room went quiet again, the majority shocked that Xanxus had found his Cloud as he had never found his before.

"Thank you Xanxus," Jade murmured into the quiet. "I thought the Tower was loud but they have nothing on this."

Tsuna stood and walked to where the trio was still standing. "Hello," he greeted her, "my name is Tsuna, and these are my friends and guardians, the Varia officers and my older brother figure, Dino Cavallone." Extending his hand, Jade shook it.

Smiling, Jade introduced herself. "It's nice to meet you Tsuna. As Dad said, my name is Jade Black and I am fifteen. Up until today, I've been in England as I was kidnapped shortly after birth."

"Pleasure to meet you Jade. Please sit," Tsuna directed her to an empty chair where two more quickly appeared. "Mammon, explain."

"When Jade was taken I went crazy searching for her, and when I used a family heirloom to reverse time, it went wrong, sending me back sixty years instead of the days I had meant to go. And then, the curse happened and I was unable to find her because she was hidden."

"How the hell do you go back in time?" Takeshi asked, looking dumbstruck. "Oh I'm Takeshi Yamamoto, Rain Guardian."

Jade smiled and nodded at him, while her father answered. "The Black Family apparently was the supplier of the ingredients for the Ten-Year Bazooka. Of course, now we don't have access to the stuff."

"Umm, I did mention I broke into the Department of Mysteries last week right Dad? I had my school bag because I went armed with pranks- dungbombs, fireworks, a few Molotov cocktails, you know? The basics for irritating the Ministry and screwing with Voldy-Moldy. Like hell I wasn't going to rob the place when I had the chance."

She smirked, elaborating; "it wasn't like they were using the stuff. I may have thrown the majority of the confiscated books, various artifacts, and the entire collection of TimeTurners. Then we blew up the rooms and made it look like it ruined the stuff."

"TimeTurners?" Takeshi looked incredulous. "Like a time machine?"

She nodded, "yeah you can go back an hour per rotation. And as per the stupidity of British Magicals, they don't use them."

Kyouya stared at Jade. "Why are you so small? You don't look fifteen."

"Well I look 19 when I should be in my twenties thanks to that damn ice," Xanxus sniped.

Jade sighed, used to the disbelief at her age. Even with the multiple healing sessions and the extensive potion regimen, she was unlikely to have a growth spurt. "I lived in a cupboard for ten years and was barely fed during that time. Thanks to my magic I survived. When I first went to the Bank and saw the family manager, they immediately sent me for treatment."

"They tend to not care for wizards. What did you do to get their approval?" Belphegor demanded.

"When I went with Hagrid and saw the trust vault established by James Potter for his heir, I was polite to them. When I returned, after managing to run away from the Dursley house after being forcibly returned, I had a broken arm, three cracked ribs, a broken ankle I was supporting with my magic, and a concussion.

"Children are sacred to Goblins; even if I had no money or vaults, I would have been treated immediately. While I was unconscious, they ran the tests to prove identity and uncovered the magical adoption, proving I was the missing Black Heiress.

"They removed several magical blocks- I'll give you the list later dad- removed a glamour, several tracking charms and a magical tether. They removed the Magic that was left by Dumbass to easily break my mental shields, then woke me."

At the table Bianchi was compiling a list of the people who were going to suffer her poison cooking. This girl was so sweet, she already decided that she was claiming her as a little sister. These Dursleys- whoever they were- would suffer.

"How were you magically adopted?" questioned Tsuna.

"It's a fluke really," she answered smugly. "When he went around claiming me as his daughter, James named me his heir until a child of his blood was born. As a result I got access to the Potter Vault, so I took the patriarch journal as well as Lily's diary, then transferred the contents of the vault to a new one under the name Jade Nero, leaving the minimum amount of gold in it so if it gets confiscated they don't get everything and I ended the Potter line."

Regulus pulled her into a hug, "I am so proud of you, my dearest daughter. And I lived years appearing toddler-like, your size doesn't matter."

"The Arcebaleno curse right? There was an entire trunk in the heirloom vault on it. The Black line is connected to Salazar Slytherin via Cadmus Peverell, and his grandson was a Mist Arcebaleno and the family studied it in-depth. Several family curses were based off their studies trying to break the curse. Sadly, they failed, but they kept the research."

"Why are you here?" Squalor demanded. "What do you want?"

Jade's eyes flashed in anger. "What I want" she hissed, "is to never have been kidnapped and abused and tortured for fifteen years. What I want is to be free from magical Britain. What I want," her voice broke a little. "I want to be me. To have a place of my own. To be able to put down roots and not live out of a trunk. A magical one, but still a trunk."

"Don't push her Shark. She's mine," Xanxus warned his best friend, throwing a glass at him.

Jade said nothing, but smiled at how Xanxus defended her. "Dino Cavallone? You buy from the Peverell stables frequently. You're actually on the list of people I was given to contact if I needed help."

"You run those stables?" Dino was shocked. "The Peverell Stables are legendary. The animals are always well-cared for and the stable is damn exclusive."

She nodded. "When I first claimed my inheritance, before we found out where Dad was I needed someplace to go during the summers so I wanted to give the stables a revamp. It had been about twenty years since the last renovation so it was time.

"Peverell Stables is mine. The only place I have been able to put down roots, but I was told I hadn't established a territory there because I was searching subconsciously for my Sky and my dad before settling anywhere."

"What do you plan to do now?"

"Ahh it depends Tsuna. I haven't taken all my exams yet so I still need to do that. I still have a couple more sessions with Healers to finish regrowing my bones and then I have to go through yet another appointment with a mind healer since I only let they remove a few scars and not all of them."

Bianchi started, "why would you remove some but not all?"

"The two I had removed were brands; a claiming mark in a way. The others I earned in a weird way. Those scars aren't a sign of weakness or anything to me. They represent my survival."

Belphegor nodded. "That makes sense in an odd way. But why didn't the Prince know Mammy was a Lord?"

"Because I wasn't the heir when I disappeared. My older brother was." Regulus answered, shocking the Varia as he didn't demand payment for his answer. "Little Prince you still are important to me, I helped raise you."

"So I have a brother now?" Jade asked excitedly. "Since you helped raise him I'm claiming him."

"Shishisshishi. If the Princess would like it, the Prince will have a sister."

Jade suddenly stood up and went to hug her new brother. "You are so much nicer than that brother of yours."

"He is dead. I killed Rasiel."

"Yeah. You killed him. But your parents had blood-adopted your cousin and made him the new prince since your sister was not magical.

"Xavier didn't take kindly to my refusal to court him."

"This I have to hear," Xanxus laughed. "You blew up that bitch like a hot air balloon when she insulted you. What did you do to the trash?"

A sly smirk made its way across Jade's face, one that the Varia recognized as what would appear before they had to make a large payment to Mammon. "I may have hit him with a reversible castration hex. But I cast in in parsel so the only one to reverse it easily would be me. And before I did I made him swear to leave me and mine alone."

"That would earn the respect of most of Drumstrang Jade. Why reversible though?"

"Please. Like I would risk it being permanent when I would have to pay reparations for line theft."

Kyouya growled. "What is the omnivore going to do?"

So who wants to give me some ideas of how Dumblegoat is going to suffer? Some Varia style revenge on the Durselys?

Also should Lily Potter be innocent? I've already decided James knew about the deception and that Sirius did know that it wasn't the original Potter baby but he did not know who they used to replace the infant.
