DarkPriestess66: If you haven't noticed that this is an AU of Harry Potter, so anything i do, i can see happening, if Harry had someone to care about his well being.
Harry stared out his window, a week after meeting the priestess Kikyo, and wonders about his own life.
"Yo little bro why so deep in thought" Alison asked as she sat next to him in the window.
Sesshomaru and Maria were sitting on their bed talking, about various topics, and the subject of Lily and James came up and through that Harry's adoption into the pack.
"He's asking more questions as he gets older i feel we should tell him how James and Lily really died." Sesshomaru points out.
"I am afraid you're right, but I'll do it." Maria replies
"Very well I'll leave it to you but now about the other elephant in the room, how are you feeling now dear about our new pup?"
"To paraphrase one of the movies, the other watch, Demons were having pups long before our time." Maria replies, "I'm just shocked, none of our pups were planned for after all."
Sesshomaru chuckles "True and I for one am glad for each and every one of them"
Maria shook her head, before standing up. "I better get this over with while I can still see my feet."
Sesshomaru nods then pulls out his work folder to get caught up on his companies.
Maria walked out of the room, and heading to Harry's, thinking about the year, and if Kagome's past self, and hers were in the feudal era by now. She didn't know for sure, she should contact one of the demons living in Japan to spy things out for her. She found Harry in his room still talking with Alison both seems very into what ever they were talking about.
"No harry, I'm telling you the new pup is gonna be a girl." Maria heard Alison say.
"Since when is that debatable?" Maria questions as she walked into the room, "and who says i'm having just one? You do not know, and neither to do I."
"I know mom we were just talking about it, it not like when Harry first came here and Yasha and I were fighting over him.?
"Don't you have something to do?" Maria questions
Alison took the hint and quickly left the room. Harry looks up to her "hello momma your day been good?'
"Some more then others." Maria answers, coming to sit beside Harry. "You have been asking questions for some time, which do you want to be answered first?"
Harry thought for a minute he had so many that he wanted to know "Well like poppa says start small and go from there." he took a deep breath "Why am i so different for my human and demon friends.?
"You are neither a demon nor a human, or a half-demon. You are a human with demonic traits." Maria answers
"But how you always told me mom and dad were pure human, and what really happened to the that you and poppa are always so sad on Halloween?"
"Your birth parents died on Halloween night, when you were a year old." Maria answers, "Your birth parents were human, but you know your adoptive parents are not."
"That's when they died, and i know you and poppa are not human so you did something else besides just files those papers didn't you."
"Yes, but first, you must know that Lily was part of our pack as well, through me, she and I were close friends, we kept in contact after she wedded and I was the one who she talked too when she realized she was going to have you, seeing as I had the twins since then, I knew most of the symptoms of that area. Anyway, her world was at war, and she asked me to be your guardian if anything should happen to her and James, your birth father." Maria explains
"Her world what do you mean her world there hasn't any wars since Vietnam war so what happen what made them so different than normal folks?"
"There is a community hidden from the outside world, just like the Demonic Realm, they use magic for everything. Your birth parents were part of that world." Maria answers
Harry sat on his bed thinking. "So does that mean I'm magical like them, So then why did i get normal school, you always told me our powers need to be trained so that accidents happen."
"You do not have a normal school. You had tutors all your life." Maria replies, "your friends were brought home by Yasha and Ali."
"Yeah but as far as I know my learning was the same as them except you won't let me learn how to fight." he took a deep breath "Am i to learn like that old monk did or is there a tutor that will come?"
"I except you will get an acceptance letter to the same school that your parents went too, and that is when my real fun as your mother will come in spades." Maria answers "You are mine and Sesshomaru's son, as well as Lily and James' you were born to them, but you were gifted to us, we would never change that, my darling."
"You mean the same school you met Mr. Lupin and mom and dad?" he seems eager to hear this news
"Yes." Maria confirmed
Harry gave a yep of joy them gave her hug "Momma when do I find out im going to this school and whats the name of the school?"
"When you're eleven, I suppose." Maria answers, "as for the name its Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry."
"So three more years i guess i can wait, but why did you say your real fun start? Do you not like something about the school?"
"Because if they think I am going to roll over and be submissive, they haven't me as the Lady of the Demonic Realm." Maria replies
"Momma, the day, your submissive is the day I let Ali dress me up for her next sleep over."
"Which is never. If you have anymore questions, then I will answer to the best of my ability." Maria answers, as she stood up. "Right now, I believe I have some unanswered questions for Remus."
"No that's all my main questions but thank you momma for telling me the truth."
"You are welcome." Maria replies, as she left the room, tracking Remus by scent. She found the werewolf sitting at his desk a bubbling potion at his side Maria knew the sent well but noticed it smelled off as well. "Wolfsbane?" Maria questions, wrinkling her nose.
"Yes, my Lady. Sadly my time is near and if i don't drink it well we both know the law and i know what the penalty by demon law is as well?" he finished grading a paper and place it to the side. He stood and faced her "How may i be of service to you this fine day."
"Wizarding Law is different from Demonic Realm Law, we consider the ones infected, part of our world, and having the wolf-demon tribe near by which is why Koga is here for the Leaders' Summit. We have to wait for the others, but is neither here or now." Maria replies "I have told Harry most of the truth of how he came to be with my family, but one thing that tickles my mind is that Harry has another godparent."
"Padfoot, yes but he got sent to Azkaban prison for lils and prongs' murder and without so much as a trail."
Maria turned on her heel and left heading to her office, there was something amiss here. She stormed into her and Sesshomaru's Office where he was tapping away on an old key broad muttering about killing the old CEO of his new company. Maria went directly to her area, and swung open a picture to reveal a wall-safe.
Sesshomaru stopped smelling the mood off of his mate. "Maria, what is wrong, you haven't been this mad since harry came home from the market?"
Maria spun the dial, and opened the safe and her scrapbook of Lily's letters.
Sesshomaru stopped his work then stood and went over to his wife.
"Leave me be, so I can figure out why the Wizarding World is jacked up." Maria growled
He did as he was told and waited for her to explain why she was upset.
"I am not upset, I am pissed off." Maria states as she went to her desk and started reading the last few letters of Lily's life until she went into hiding. She read them and found the one she wanted, and found the page the mention Harry's god father.
"I knew it, they were sneaky." Maria states, as she closed the book and left carrying it with her.
Now Sesshomaru was beyond curious and quickly followed her.
Maria left the manor, and headed straight for London.
Sesshomaru stopped at the gate not wanting to leave the pups alone.
Maria went to the Ministry of Magic, intent on flaying someone verbally and if it came to it, physically.
She was met by a woman that look like a large toad in pink clothes and pinched face of distasted. "what do you want I'm sure you have no business here."
"Clearly, you are to stupid to work here. I am the Lady of the Demonic Realm, and we had to bail your failing asses out of trouble when your lot thought to mind wipe our citizens!" Maria snarled
The pink toad backed away shocked and a little afraid, Maria smiled at the fear scent. "You have yet to tell me what business you have here."
"My business does not concern an underling such as you." Maria states as she walked passed
"Stop where you are you have no right to be heading to the Minister's office.
"Yes, I do. I am ally of the Wizarding World, You insolent fool." Maria snarled
"What in blazes is going on here?" a robust man in a green suit and bowler hat." don't you know there is work to be done."
"Oh look, its the bloody coward, how did you win this posting?" Maria questions, crossing her arms.
He turns to see Maria "Lady Maria so good to see you once more how may I be of service to you?"
"First off, put a leash on your pink clad underling before I do permanently. Second, I want you to read something of mine, that may open your judgment eyes." Maria growled
"Dolores please let the Lady by, and what is this? " he began to read the letter and then got to the part that point that Maria wanted. "Is this right?"
"Written by Lily Potter's own hand, they changed their secret keeper, if they chose me, they would still be alive. But they didn't." Maria states "I am her friend, and blood-swore sister."
the man continue to read and turned be right angle. "This can't be right and it doesn't say who was made the keeper."
"She's giving clues, in that letter and if anyone knew James and his friends, they would guess who it was..." Maria states
"Pettigrew, it was Peter Pettigrew wasn't it?" a tall red head man asked.
"Yes, who was unregistered animagus. A Rat to be precise." Maria confirmed
"That can't be he died that night after Sirius betrayed the Potters."
"You found a finger, where's the rest of the body? Are you stupid or something?" Maria questions
"We looked all over for the remains but there was little left."
"Which means what you lot of geniuses?" Maria questions "times up, it was a cover up. You dolts."
"no we have witnesses that saw the explosion and Black confessed to killing the potters."
"Mass hysteria, is no proof plus those so called witnesses testimony are now in void since your aurors mind wiped them. I know that it has a special name, but frankly, I do not care for the name." Maria responds, "Bring Black here and let me question him myself, under Veritaserum."
The red head turns to maria "My lady did you say a rat that might be missing a finger now?"
"Yes. If what I believe to suspect is true." Maria answers
"and would you recognize him if you saw him in his rat form?"
"No one can hide their scent from a Dog Demon, or any demon for that matter." Maria states "let me rephrase that, no one without proper training can hide their scent from a demon."
"Then My Lady I think I may know where Pettigrew is at if you could give me a few minutes to get my son's pet?"
"of course." Maria states, she turned back to the Minister. "If I am right, I will offer citizenship to Sirius Black because your government failed him."
"Thank you my lady i shall return." with that the red head left the room in a rush as did several others to do as Maria commands
Maria closed her eyes, and smiled " Since we're waiting, who's up for lunch, my treat?"
A half hour later two aurors bring in a man in rags and skin and bones.
Maria gasped at the state of her friend, because Remus, Lily, James, and Sirius were her friends, not so much Pettigrew, she never cared for that coward.
"My lady here is the man you asked for." the guard informed her.
Maria growled at the guard, and knelt beside Sirius, "Mr. Black, Pay attention." she used the tone of a teacher.
The battered man looks up at her "Ms. Taisho, is that you?" he laughs "So you finally came to go on that date with me, knew you would come around."
"Sorry, but I'm not up to cradle robbing, and all of you are mere babes compare to me." Maria replies, "Aside from that I'm married."
"Damn and here, i had everything planned to woo you." he jokes.
"I see your sense of humor is intact, now will you allow yourself to be questioned under Veritaserum? About Halloween night seven years ago?" Maria questions
the smile fades away and he sobs. "Maria, I failed them." he cries out to her. The man pulls himself into a bundle and stops looking at her.
"Padfoot, You only fail them if you do not tell the truth, do so for Remus, what's left of your sanity, for them, for our godson." Maria whispered quietly to him, and only him.
"Harry yes my cub and our pack yes i have to be there for them." Sirius straightened up and looks as a lord should look. "So Maria what do you need me to do?"
"Just answer my questions under Veritaserum." Maria answers
"Why would you ever need that we could never lie to you but of course i will."
Maria stood up and motioned for the Minister to witness that Sirius was taking the potion from a medi-witch.
He took the potion and made a sour face then his face went blank as it took affect.
"What is your name?" Maria questions
"Sirius Orion Black."
After she asked so simple questions they got to the meat of the matter and Maria asked the one question she wanted to know.
"Did you Sirius Orion Black betray Lily and James Potter to the Dark Lord, as you were their Secret Keeper?" Maria questions, knowing the answer for herself.
He give a short Laugh "I was never there keeper and i would never turn my back on the only family i ever had."
Maria turned to the Minister to watch his reaction. "Did you murder twelve muggles and Peter Pettigrew?"
"No that was that damn rat he killed those poor souls and the turned into a rat and ran off."
"Now one last question, before the potion wears off, Do you accept citizenship in a world that is not the Wizarding world, do you accept to obey the laws of this new world as decreed by the Lord and Lady of the Realm?" Maria questions
"if they treat me fair and not bar me from my family yes without any hesitation!"
Maria turned to face the Minister, "Well Fudge, You have your answers, you have wronged an innocent man."
Just then the red head man returns with a rat stunned in a cage.
Maria stalked toward the cage, "That is Pettigrew, if that was a common brown rat, it wouldn't survived for seven years. Since their lifespan is three years at most or shorter since they are prey for predators."
"Then My Lady he is your as your the last family to the Potters his fate is your as by Demonic Law."
"Restore him to his human form. And revive him." Maria ordered
He did as he was commanded and the rat was slowly transformed to a fat balding human snoring on the floor.
"Stand guard at the door, he may try to flee." Maria states, as she waited for the traitor to awaken.
The men stand at the door as Peter slowly wakes up and realized where he was and he saw Maria was there as well. "Lady Maria, bless the magic you're here." he starts to weep.
"Cut the crap, Pettigrew. You were the one who betrayed my sister! You filthy rat." Maria states "You are now a prisoner of the Demonic Realm."
"What never Lily was the sweetest most gentle soul ever i would never do that my lady."
"Sirius Black was questioned under Veritaserum, and was found innocent. You however are nothing more then scum that licks the most powerful boots he sees." Maria smiled "I am Maria Taisho, Lady of the Demonic Realm, and I have judged this creature, guilty of aided murder of Lily Potter, swore sister to the Royal Family."
The guards grab the man and wait to for her orders, Pettigrew was crying pleading for his life.
"You betrayed my sister, her mate, and her son to the Dark Lord, give me one good reason not to give you a death sentence." Maria states, her eyes were cold as she looked at Pettigrew.
"I swear my lady, i had no choice he would have killed me, he tortured me spell after spell till i finally broke you have to believe me i was forced."
Maria moved faster and grabbed the man by the neck, and used her other had to rip the sleeve off of his arm, where a faint dark mark was there. "I suppose you were forced to become a Death Eater as well, coward."
"I swear My Lady I tried to save them but he wanted them out of the way" he wept pleading for her mercy.
"Any true friend would have died then betray their friends." Maria snarled as her eyes bled red. "I want Voldemort between my claws, I will settle for you."
Pettigrew begins to cry pleading to live that he would do anything not to be killed.
Maria squeezed the traitor's neck harder, "I do not give mercy to traitors, nor do I give second chances. You lost that when you betrayed Lily and James." she broke the man's neck.
The man fell limp in her hand every one but Sirius pale at the sight, snorts. "You were to kind to him My lady if you ask me."
"I have no abilities like my mate does, only thing I have is an immunity to poison. I have standard strength, agility, and speed of a demoness. And I can only fly in my true form." Maria explains she let the corpse drop, and looked at her claws, "Well guess I ruined that manicure myself."
Sirius stands before and bows deeply "Then my lady lets leave and I'll pay for your next one." he smiles and stands once more.
"Enough bowing. If I am My Lady'ed one more time, I think I will go mad to match your madness." Maria states, "I want someone who doesn't use one of those Quick-Quotes quills to write a front page report on this day, and leave out that I killed the traitor."
"Yes it will be done." The red head man responds "And I'm sorry i wound up sheltering that thing for so long in my home."
"Don't worry about it, you didn't know. A rat is a rat no matter the race." Maria states, "Come Sirius, you need a decent meal and a bath, and a decent bed to sleep in for the first time in years."
"Yes ma'am right behind you." he all but skips out of the room.
Maria waited until they were out of the Ministry, and in her limo before breathing a sigh of relief.
Once in the limo himself, he finally broke down and starts to cry as the last seven years finally hits him.
Maria reached out and hugged Sirius to her as if he were her pup as well, and he might as well be, since she was old enough to mothered an entire generation of the Wizarding World and then some.
"Can we please just go now I want to see Mooney and then Just start my new life."
"Home." Maria ordered the driver.
On the way home Sirius fell asleep as was snoring the manor. as the car pulls up to the door.
Maria prodded Sirius, "Wake up, Padfoot."
he moans "Come on lils Harry's party ain't till tonight."
"Friendly didn't work, let's try for parent. Sirius Orion Black, Wake your ass up this second!" Maria states
He jumps up "No Lily not the bucket."
"Yesh, Sirius, you are a heavy sleeper, you can nap later." Maria states
he looks around rubbing his eyes "We're here good i need a shower and a shave then i need to find Moony and bring him here if thats okay with you Maria."
"You need a good scrubbing, food and more sleep. Not searching for someone, already here." Maria states
"He's here really how, why , when?
"Shut it, all your questions will be answered later, once you have recovered enough to interact with other people." Maria states
He stops just like Harry does when he's caught in the dojo without a grown up."Yes ma'am "
Maria got out of the limo, and she ordered the servants to draw a bath and prepare a room in the guest wing. She also took a few of the servants who looked at Sirius and explained the situation and they took the man to the bathroom, and began to scrub him until he was clean enough to be put to bed.
Maria walked into her room where she found Sesshomaru working on some papers and had on marked Black. "Working in the bedroom? What couldn't find any peace elsewhere?"
"Shippo came over while you were gone and gave the pups the one thing we don't let them have to much of , they just crashed and are sleeping."
"Hyperactive pups, I am sorry that I rushed off like that having to leave you to deal with that mess." Maria apologized.
"No matter you had to do it and i can smell Sirius is here so i take it."
