"You wanted to see me momma?" Harry questions
Maria looked up, "As you may have known about, I am planning on overseeing the Demonology class."
"Yes momma Ali told me about it but don't worry i won't act stupid in class."
"You better not act stupid in any of your classes." Maria replies, as she looked at a old photograph in a frame on her desk.
"No momma i never do even if snape says i do."
"I'll never see what was in that man that Lily seen." Maria muttered as she stood from her chair and placed the photograph back on the shelf with all of her other special items from the past.
"Don't ask me." Harry said and he saw the dagger on her desk "What's this Momma?"
"A dagger, which is forged from mine and your father's fangs." Maria answers, "It is yours, but its not to be used as a toy."
Harry's eyes grew wide "Really a dagger of my own but you said i couldn't learn to fight like you?"
"You're not, that dagger is to protect you from your own demonic blood." Maria replies
Harry looked confused "Huh, how is it supposed to do that?"
"Same way it did for InuYasha, its a seal when you are in close contact with the dagger your demonic blood is not as active." Maria replies
"Ohhh, i see so you want me to carry this and it wont let me go into a rage."
"Yes, but like hidden under your pants' leg." Maria replies
"Yes mother I'll do as you say." He smiles and hugs her tight 'I love you momma."
"As I love you, my little human." Maria replies, as she returned the hug.
Harry laughs "you know momma, I'm not really a human any more at least in the wizardry law books ."
"Wizards are mortal, therefore you are still human." Maria replies
"I know that momma but since i have demon blood in my veins, by the ministry laws, I'm not human."
"If I could I would overhaul that barbaric ministry." Maria replies
"I agree momma have someone like Mr. Lupin or uncle Siri in charge." Harry thought for a minute "Or maybe uncle Shippo should be in charge."
"Shippo has to many duties to attend too." Maria replies, as she started to walk out of her study.
"Can't he get someone from his tribe to help?"
"His Lady is supposed to help with the Tribe matters but one tiny problem with that..." Maria replies
"He's not married to Sakura yet." He frowns.
Maria silently questioned on how Harry knew about Sakura being a courted by Shippo. She decided that it didn't really matter because by demon law, Sakura was old enough to decide who she wanted to marry.
Harry follows her out of the room. "Well can't you or poppa do something." He asked just as a servant comes up and tells her that Professor Dumbledore is here and requesting a word with her and lord Sesshomaru.
Sesshomaru came down the hall, from the Dojo, where he was working out some of his frustrations, when he was waylaid by a servant and told of the human wizard seeking an audience. "What does the old fool want now." He asked
"Of that, I do not know, love of my existence." Maria replies, as she joined her mate as he continued down the hall to the foyer.
The Lord and Lady of the Demonic Realm entered the foyer to see Albus To-many-middle names Dumbledore waiting for them.
"Ahhh Lord Sesshomaru and Lady Maria, its so good to see once more I was hoping to see you both before the year started once more."
"You could have sent a note, its not like we're not the rulers here and parents to boot." Maria replies, as she directed the Professor into the sitting room. She sat down on a chair, while Sesshomaru took his stance behind her, looking as stoic as ever.
"Ah well yea your right about that but this is something i felt should be done face to face."
"And that is what?" Maria questions, as she crossed her hands in her lap, acting the inch of the proper Lady of the Demonic Empire.
"As you know young Harry has many enemies left in the wizarding world as well as his birth family were pillars in the wizarding world as well, i came to see if you would allow my team of wizards to place blood wards about your manor." He smiled as he sucked on another lemon drop."To better protect Harry and your family."
"Do you think I'm stupid? I know all about Blood Wards, My Estate is already protected from your dark wizards." Maria replies
"Now Lady Maria, I assure you, I never thought that I simply wish both you and your family to be safe." He frown at being refused and told it was flatly refuse.
"You set the spell in 1981 and Lily refusing to step aside and being struck by the killing curse triggered the protection charm, as soon as I brought Harry into my home, the blood wards activated on my Estate, since I adopted Lily into my family, as my blood-bound sister, and twice as powerful when I blood-bound Harry as my son." Maria replies
"Plus Lady Maria has me to act as bodyguard while Harry is in school." another voice adds, as Noriko came into the room, followed by Sara.
"Ahh yes I forgotten you also had the slayer clan here as well." His frown deepened as his plan was slowly falling apart on him.
"I'm not just a Slayer, I'm also a fully trained witch." Noriko replies, her eyes narrowed at Dumbledore. "Now answer me something, I noticed since I've been here and spent time with Harry."
"Oh and what is that, Lady Noriko?"
"Why is there a soul fragment attached to Harry?" Noriko questions, gripping her chain sickle, if she didn't like the answer.
Dumbledore paled at the slayer's words. "A soul fragment like a Horcrux?"
"Yes." Noriko answers, "A truly foul person would attach souls to another person or item."
