I have no proprietary claim to Harry Potter or Dukes of Hazzard
A former Kamen Rider now an attorney by the name of it Fell, was walking through the quaint town of Godric's Hollow. When he saw a house under a Fidelis charm, supposedly, he shouldn't be able to see this. But, he was a former Kamen rider. Trent being his curious self, knocked on the red cherry wood door. Only to, not surprisingly, have wand's pointed at him. He went into a daze and began to recite a prophecy that none of them would ever forget. Just to wake up in a sitting room, after having stated said prophecy. While this wasn't the first prophecy Trent had predicted, he was a short-sighted seer. He had previously not considered them a matter of relevance, though, as they were unimportant and quickly self-fulfilling. This one was very disconcerting to the people he learned was James and Lily Potter. The other man who identified himself as Sirius Black wanted to try to stop it. After Trent told them about the speed that his prophecies were fulfilled, they were even more concerned.
They told me that he had said, "the death of the potters in light of the moon shall move a star to shine abroad, and orphaned ruler shall know love from a flower of the Dukes. Magical and mirrored words shall play a role in time to come. A new life is meant for him."
Trent was able to interpret it with relative ease by telling them. "Sadly, your death is imminent he said, motioning for James and Lily. Sirius, you are named after a star. Harry's name means ruler. You both shall start a new life elsewhere. This part means that you will probably raise him, and most likely, you will begin some type of relationship with someone how's named after a flower and works for or is related to a Duke. The magical could refer to Sirius. The mirrored part to myself or my colleagues from my fighting days will play some role in his life. I'll explain that later though. And of course, the last part referring to Harry starting a new life." Are there any contingencies in regards to both of you choosing your secret keeper. So the world will know who told your secret, and allowing the truth to be known."
"I will be writing a letter informing my godmother in a moment, " James said, getting out a piece of parchment. "Lily dear, I need you to get Harry to be able to leave on a moment's notice. Mr. Fell, I need you to contact your colleagues so we can have as much time to prepare as possible."
Then Lily Potter said something that surprised everyone. "I was adopted, and my original maiden name was Duke. I have looked into that side of my family, and I have reasonably close American relatives, one of whom is named Daisy Duke. She lived in Hazard County, Georgia."
"That helps with relocation," Trent said, " I need to explain something specific about Hazzard Country before we go any further, though. For you see, native Americans used to live in that area, and the American magical community considers it to be a dead zone for magic. Because the Native Americans practiced so many amplification rituals that simply block out all European magical detection spells."
"As a soon to be resident is there was a magical community there," Sirius asked, more to himself than anyone else. Trent guessed that he was still in shock since he wasn't angry yet.
"Yes, but not in the sense that they know about it," Trent explained. "For the amplification, rituals also prevent unintentional magic. No one ever being found with magic. Not to mention, being taught magic. There are bound to be individuals who have it but don't know how to use it."
"If my son is going to be raised by someone other than myself, I think it's time that I visit my family," Lily said in a way that left no room for discussion. After a few moments, day bags were packed. With Trent's wandless magic, he explained to them that wand based magic always sends out an EMP (the abbreviation required a further explanation to James and Sirius) because they produce a far too focused release of it. He summoned his car with it changing its self into something that will blend in and be large enough for four adults and a child. After they got in, Trent used a long-forgotten spell; after a very disorientating few minutes, they were at the Hazard county line. After checking in to Hoggs hotel and explaining how they were four hours behind. Trent said, "before we begin looking for the Dukes, we need a realistic cover story since we can't exactly say we're hiding from a dark magic practitioner."
James had a non-verbal conversation with Lily. He then said, "we're looking for a property to buy to get away from British politics."
"With my biological family here, it would be the perfect place to start looking." Lily finished.
"My licensed practice law can be magically transferred from one state to another, so I'll be your attorney handling your financial affairs," Trent said in a thoughtful manner.
'I'll just be the family friend tagging along," Sirius stated in a goofy manner that was an obvious attempt to conceal his emotions.
"All right, let's go find the Dukes. Why can't we just use a locating spell," James asked.
Trent sighed, saying, "I'll explain as we go." Then he told him that none of their magic is adequately in tuned for it to work effectively in this area. They would have to be here at least 3 hours even to cast a precision spell.
"So it seems," Sirius said. "That will just have to ask around then. Hopefully, we'll speak to the right person first."
After asking a short and heavyset man in a white suit, he responded by asking, "why do you want to track down them there Dukes. Ain't like y'all got any business with them."
With almost perfect timing, an orange charger pulled up. With a flag that only Trent recognized having been painted on top of it and a number one on its side.
"We'll speak of the devil he said this is who y'all looking for. Now, why are you here if I may be so bold as to ask."
"More like demand," Trent heard Sirius comment. At the same time, the still-unidentified man motioned for two men and a woman in the come-over. Once they came over.
James introduces himself as "James Potter, my wife, Lilly Potter Nae Evans. This bloke over here is my friend and godfather to young Harry here is Sirius Black. As well as an attorney hired to handle a property sale since we're not familiar with American laws. We had meant to come here before Harry was born, but that didn't happen." He made up on the spot. "My friend, he gestured toward Sirius, and I was looking for some property remote property to get away from British politics. The fact that my wife's biological family lives here made it the perfect place to start looking.
Then Lily said, "My parents died in a car accident when I was 3. The Evans family adopted me, but I was born Lillian Katrina Duke. My middle name most likely comes from my maternal grandmother Katrina."
They seem to somewhat cautious about this news. But when they said someone else had recently come to town claiming to be a relative of theirs from England.
Lily said, "I apologize for the pain you must have gone through with this deception, but I brought copies of the paperwork I was given. We also have cash on hand to purchase property for a nice house far away from dubious politics."
"In that case, you came to the wrong place. The blonde-haired one said. You were just talking to our local, how'd you say it, dubious politician."
He padded the still-unnamed man on the shoulder. "Don't listen to a word they say I am the most honest and respectful politician you'll ever meet."
This made Sirius snort distinctly. All but saying that he didn't believe a word he said.
"Boss Hogg Do you know anything about this,"
"How would I know anything about your family? Does it look like we are kinfolk, no I didn't think so? JD Hogg real estate is right over there, miss. They'll show you the perfect places for you to buy." he said with a smile that was as genuine as artificial sugar.
Then he left entering the county building. "So that was his name," Trent said.
"He seems to have gained in size what he lacked in charm," Sirius commented.
"He doesn't much care for the Duke family in general. So any relative of ours is a nuisance for him. Don't get us wrong we hope you're honest." The blonde one said, speaking again.
"There is a way they can prove it. All we have to do is radio Uncle Jesse." The female Duke said.
Trent interjected, saying, "I apologize, but we still don't know your names either. We did just arrive."
"Of course, Uncle Jesse, what tan hides for bein' rude. I'm Bo," The blonde one said. "This is Luke, and that's Daisy." Each person waved when their names were mentioned.
At which point, Lily interjected by saying. 'That wouldn't be Lucas Keller Duke, Beauregard Jerome Duke, and Daisy Belle Duke."
'You're right,' Daisy said, but they prefer Bo and Luke. The boys nodded in unison. You know, assuming everything is on the up and up. We have recently been fixing up an old manor to sell for a friend of the family.
"It would be wonderful if it could sort out the first bit out and then go to the second." Trent Fell Esquire at your service."
"I reckon you're right," Bo said. Walking over to his car and he spoke into the CB, saying, "this is a lost sheep to Shepherd, you got your ears on. We don't, by chance, have any deceased second or third cousins in Britain who died in a car accident back in oh, 64' leaving at three years old, named Lily that was adopted do we?"
"As a matter of fact, we do I don't think ever told you, boys, that." The man who must be Uncle Jesse said.
"You didn't, Lilly Potter with her husband, their baby, and his two friends came to pay us a visit and buy some property."
"Well then bring them on to the house. They're more than welcome."
"All right, then we'll see you at the house. All right, we can fit."
James interrupted him. "Our vehicle is right there. We'll follow you."
"We have to swing by the General store real quick if you got the room for Daisy she'll take you back to the house, and we'll meet you there." Bo said, "We'll see y'all at the house then." At which point they left.
Sirius Black's point of view
So far, James and Lily have kept it together. If they so much shed a tear, I would have already broken down. Just knowing that their deaths, were imminent would have sent an ordinary person into a panic. They are putting Harry first, so they're refusing even to acknowledge what is about to happen. After we arrive at the old white wash house, which Daisy calls the Duke farm, we walked out, and we greeted by an older man, who insisted on being called Uncle Jesse. I'm still not sure about Trent, but there's nothing I can do but believe what he said to be absolute truth. Since I had heard of him and his prophetic ability, he had been called clear but short-sighted. At least that's what that form of seeing is called. But sometimes that form of prophecy is the worst. We at least have time to make sure Harry is safe.
Using a two-way mirror, we contacted Remus telling him everything, but where we were going and that he should pass the message on to Dumbledore. James and Lily made sure to say goodbye in a way that told him that he could only reciprocate. Now that that was done, we had time to sat down and talked a while. I hope this takes as long as possible because I fear the inevitable with Daisy doting over Harry. Trent, he explained specific American phrases to us and vice versa. I think this has been more of a headache for him than a tragedy because he went from not minding his own business to being in the smack dab middle of ours.
Lily Potter's point of view
I can't believe it, James and I are going to die, leaving little Harry by himself in this world. At least he will have Sirius to look after him. We're looking at what Daisy has dubbed the old Pringle place. And in all honesty, it seems like a more colorful, less morbid version of the black family townhouse, which translates into a lovely home. More than enough room as is. And that's not to mention the magical changes that will make when we buy it. James and I had already agreed to purchase it before we even looked. Just so that we could be sure, Harry would have a safe place to live. And I'm surprisingly satisfied with this American home. James had just told Bo that we would take it. He insisted on giving them a finder's fee.
James Potter's point of view
We have had to lie to them by telling them that we have to head back to our hotel. Remus told us. Dumbledore will be meeting us at the cottage. Sirius is staying behind to finalize the paperwork since we're putting the house in his name anyway. We should be back just before the trick-or-treaters start going out in Hazard county. We hope that this is not the last time we see him. With one last look at the Duke house, we are driven back to Britain.
Trent Fell's point of view
I was sitting in a little cafe waiting for them to signal for me to go back to them. Until I heard what sounded like an explosion, it was coming from the cottage. Upon going there, I saw that it was in ruins. The only room that seemed truly untouched was Harry's, and even he seemed to have become a living Horcrux. But that's sociopath won't live on through him. Using an ancient separating spell, I cleansed Harry before that piece of Voldemort soul could become attached. I sadly got in the car with James and Lily's bodies and drove back to America so that there wouldn't be questions from the locals about their demise. I pulled up to Hoggs Hotel. I checked the records found there were the only ones checked in at the moment anyway. I contacted an Auror I could trust, at which point, I placed their bodies in the suite. Casting the weakest fire spell (I could not control the direction and just need some plausible cause of death) in the suite only to completely consume the entire building in five minutes. By the time Sirius had arrived with the Dukes in tow. I had to use Legilimency to tell him what had happened and arranged to become his solicitor to manage affairs without him having to return to Britain, thus endangering Harry. While I told the local Sheriff a cover story, that I was sure, my friend would back up. With that, Sirius Black and Harry Potter moved to Hazard County, Georgia.
