I've had no proprietary claim to Harry Potter or Dukes of Hazzard.

Sirius Black point of view

Trent has finally come back to me with the plan to bring Harry back into the Wizarding World. For, even I know that there is no way to keep him a secret till his 11th birthday. He told me that he, with my permission, he would enact a three-part plan.

Step one would be to get Boss Hogg to give us every mortgage, loan in the county, and quite possibly the bank. Without so much as even suggesting him doing anything. I could tell he was confident in this, and if he succeeded, he definitely should have been placed Slytherin we can gain the town's trust by merely pardoning everyone's debt. Things will be infinitely easier. Step two was buying some old mining town and using and an extensive expansion charm among multiple other charms. This act will somehow allow us to turn it into a proper wizarding village. Complete with a wizarding distillery as it means a primary industry. And a non-magi distillery that would serve as the cover since it cannot be hidden entirely due to the ancient rituals. Preferably The Duke family whiskey since that is what would be the most recognized and it's not currently in production. Although, he told me this would be far more complicated since it involved MACUSA in its approval. The Third step involved inviting professor McGonagall, and they select a handful of others over for Christmas get together. This dinner secures our establishment in America and preventing any unnecessary rumors in Britain.

"What do we do about the rat, "I asked him. "You promised me within three months he would either be dead or prison Trent."

"Let's just say I have a spell that'll place him and whatever form he may be in the old mining town the moment the magic started happening there. Then he'll be caught and tried for his crimes," Sirius.

"Explain," I demanded, "for the external expansion charm to work time is temporarily sped up. Simply put, it's four years in four minutes, typically. As to how does the rat gets in there, It's a summoning spell I broke apart and worked into multiple spells and enchantments. So that after it was done, there would be no way to figure out how it happened."

"Well then," I said, "let's get this started. On the first part, and then we'll catch the rat."

"First, we need to tell the Dukes everything so that they are not caught off guard. Besides, you need to check on their animagus training anyway." Trent said to me.

We spoke with the Dukes and checked in on there animagus training. They told us there was no way we would get JD Hogg to part with any of it, but if we did, we had it there full-backing. The only hold out seems to be Uncle Jesse until I was able to convince him that he was merely passing on the family tradition in a legitimate way to a member of his family. The fact that Harry is not of age just means he'll be more prepared when he is. With him reluctantly agreeing, finally, can begin.

Trent called and asked for a meeting with JD Hogg. This meeting was regarding the death of James and Lily Potter, as well as legal implications therein. Now I am meeting Boss Hogg today at Boars Nest with Trent.

JD Hogg said, "I want to settle the matter regarding James and Lily's death. And I intend to ensure this is public, so we are not going to the back room. After all, without witnesses, your word is meaningless. So let's not go to the backroom." Trent said, without an ounce of remorse. Because even on retainer, he still expensive. It is good that he doesn't beat around the bush.

Boss Hogg, reluctantly agreed. He began by saying. "I'm terribly sorry for your loss, but you must understand that it was just a terrible accident."

Trent interjected by saying. "You mean the fire in a building that the state inspector said would have happened if someone's so much as through a cigarette at the building that it would catch fire. Which was chocked full of so many fire hazards, that he ordered inspections on all the buildings you own or have claimed to."

"Yes, that one, Boss Hogg was able to finish sayin' if a bit more awkwardly. If y'all just sign right here, I'd be more than happy to give you this amount." He said, pointing to a set of numbers no one else could see. This number just made Trent chuckle.

Then Trent said, "James gave Bo Duke a cashier check for 17,000 dollars." Boss Hogg's mouth practically dropped open, "that was just a maintenance and finders fee for the house. If you wish to continue this approach, you're going to have to give us something of comparable value or increase that amount considerably. Now I don't get paid what I do for being ill-informed. So, If you wish to continue, which is entirely at your discretion." At this, he nodded. "The JD Hogg bank with every mortgage and loan you have claimed too would be fair value."

"You've lyin' to me," Boss Hogg said.

Then Trent pulled out some paperwork showing him exact values of the bank with its mortgages and loans JD Hogg had versus the magical and Muggle net worth of the Potter family. These are the two financial portfolios for the Potter family presented. "I can assure you, Mr. Hogg, I'm not lying."

Let me tell you they had a lot more money than I thought they did. And Dallas could clearly use his words to get exactly what he wanted.

"Fine," JD Hogg said.

After, he filled out the appropriate paperwork that Dallas, somehow like magic, managed to have on him. Every eye in the Boars nest was on us. Then I stood up, saying. My friend James was not one to hoard money. He was simply born into the right family. So in that spirit, once all these are filed away, I will pardon all mortgages and loans. I have claimed to on Harry's behalf. This announcement was received by a rousing cheer and one JD Hogg fainting. Step one accomplished.

Luke Duke's point of view

Within 2 minutes of their meeting starting, everyone had either started heading to the boars' nest or was listening to the CB. Sirius nor Trent suggested or indicated that this was what they wanted. Boss Hogg was so quick to try and wiggle his way out of a potential wrongful death suit. He wound up in an even bigger problem. When he of his own free will and virtually no guidance, just the basic information. Wound up in inadvertently backing himself into a corner. Which left Sirius looking like a hero when I never thought he had planned to look like one. All the while, they never even technically asked for anything. It seems their plan is working. I'm just glad Trent Fell is on our side and not Boss Hogg's or the county would be his lock, stock, and barrel in one afternoon.

Sirius Black's point of view

The next part took a bit more time, but we're finally sitting in the office of Milton Black, no relation. As the head of the Southern US magical planning committee. It was his job to look over the detailed plan Trent's contact had created. While he overall approved, he had individuals who specialized in native American magic go over the spells and enchantments listed. While they said, it was compatible with the magic in the area. They flagged some abnormalities regarding the amounts of time within the expansion charm that might falter and offered some alternatives. Trent looked it over, nodding his head, confirming that the right spells were still in there. We agreed to this plan. I would be told if the entire committee would approve it within two weeks.

Daisy Duke's point of view

Well, I reckon we should be finding out about whether or not that magical community will be built in a few days. Sirius seems to be more antsy than usual. And he keeps muttering something about catching that rat, but he won't ever say what it means. To everyone's surprise, houses wards seem to have done something no one expected. That act was to speeds up the animagus process. When Dallas asked the ward caster who created them, he told him that he merely followed their instructions to cast wards that find ways to protect Harry; however, he may need to be protected. So a month and a half ahead of schedule both Bo and Luke our wolves. With Bo being a red Wolf in the Luke is a timber wolf. And me somehow becoming a lioness. Our personality traits were very fittin'. What surprised us most was what it did to Harry.

Serious black point of view

I will catch that rat, but right now, I need professor McGonagall's help. After convincing her that her present was urgently required. And me getting her past the house ward to explain to her how the wards have somehow sped up the animagus process of Lilies third cousins. I told her what they were, and because of some sort of semi-consciousness that the house must possess through the sheer volume of spells cast to protect Harry, it decided to make Harry somehow an animagus as well. When she said that wasn't possible, I clapped my hands behind Harry, with Daisy being informed beforehand since she was holding him. And he turned into a baby fox.

This left professor McGonagall speechless saying, 'I had never even heard of this happening before, but what is important is that we are all registered, she said eyeing me. And then we can figure out what to do in regards to young Harry.'

The representative from the American department of animagus regulations arrived. At the house, we got Harry to change into his animagus again, but he was also dumbfounded as to why. But he did state that we can't merely put fox on the form we do have to say what kind he is. Then Trent, as usual, provided the exact right potion. I swear he must have some sort of expansion pocket hidden somewhere since Harry is too young to do it himself. As his guardian, I have to combine it with hair from Harry's head cast an incantation on parchments, and once that was all combined, it read Trickster Fox, American species.

"The book I read on magical creatures in America said those were myths," Bo said.

"They're supposed to be," Mr. Lancaster said.

Then I said, "even I know you can't transform into creatures that don't exist so clearly they're just very good at hiding."

"They would have to be exceptionally good at hiding," Professor McGonagall said, "to be a magical creature that is considered to be only a myth by the magical community. But I am not personally familiar with what's that mythology is?"

"Well," Bo said, "if I recall right there supposed to be difficult to catch but not impossible, there's a species in Greece that is, and they tend to be more mischievous. Whether that's good or bad seems to shift with each story."

"Well then," I said. "Harry, as a son of a Marauder and a godson of one, he will be in the best of hands I said, not being able to hold back my smile."

"Marauder, what is a marauder," Luke asked.

"Sirius and his friends liked to pull pranks and be mischievous in general, back when they were students. Their sheer number of detentions they received set a record." Professor McGonagall said.

With me now holding Harry in his animagus form, I said. "Well, Mr. Lancaster, it seems you're going to have your hands full with the paperwork explaining how a magical house managed to turn a baby into an animagus." At which point, Mr. Lancaster made it clear that I was going to be helping him figure this out. Course Trent showed up at the exact right moment and volunteered or assisted since he's on retainer. Because, the casters had just arrived and were preparing to begin casting for the Canis Major community.

Then Trent said, "but in light of recent events you might want to call it the Canis Minor community. Since I'm sure you know the myth that is behind the constellation that is behind your name Sirius," Trent stated. He said, at my look of confusion, "the main part of the myth is irrelevant. The constellation Canis minor is the second part of that myth, but in the myth, the fox is called the Teumessian fox or what to be known as a trickster fox properly. I imagine they're going to want you there. You might want to make that decision before they begin to work."

This got me thinking about how my family is to establish itself here correctly. So I said, "I think we'll stick with the original name, and in the event of a second community, we will go with the Teumessian township. Canis Minor just sounds like a smaller version, and that wouldn't want something named after Harry to be smaller, but equal."

"What a wonderful idea," Professor McGonagall said. "James and Lily would be thrilled."

"I guess the majority of us have places to be," I said. With that, I left Harry in Daisy's hands, telling professor McGonagall not to worry that he's in the hands of a lioness, not unlike yourself. This statement made her smile with her being reassured after spoken to Daisy herself. I continued he will be perfectly safe here, especially with Daisy looking after him. I am sure someone has to run the day-to-day details of Hogwarts, and I'm sure their Library might have something on the subject. As I understand it, The headmaster only just returned from dealing with the fallout of the last trial." Before she could ask how I know, I motioned toward Trent. At that point, she nodded, confirming that Lily and James were correct about Dumbledore being absent as a headmaster because of his other duties. "See you at Christmas," I shouted before she floed out, and I followed soon after, while Trent and Mr. Lancaster went to his office to fill out the appropriate forms.

The Daily Prophet

Dear Readers. With trials starting to dwindle. We can finally take a look at what else is going on in Britain. For starters, it has been confirmed that late Lord and Lady Potter did, in fact, donate funds to replace the school's training brooms. With the current ones having been donated in 1934. A $10,000 gallons bequeathed, which were supposed to go directly to the school fund. But due to unspecified reasons was redirected last minute to the deputy headmistress to spend as she sees fit. Thus far, she has updated the schools' library in regards to legal books that were last updated in 1947 and other comparable books that should have been kept up to date. These purchases alone have already cost $3,000 galleons. She has placed the rest of the funds to be made available when future issues arise. Read more on Page 8.

Horace Slughorn point of view

It's fascinating to see the sudden distrust between Headmaster Dumbledore and Deputy Headmistress Minerva McGonagall. When, in fact, the issue arose solely because of one of my very own prodigies. Lily Potter Nae Evans added in her last will testament something that everyone has seen, but no one has noticed. It is sad to say that as the secondary head of the school. She knows what is needed because she is the one that spends her full-time here. The newspaper article alone showed a glaring light on that fact. And it only gave reference to library books. Now she is telling Dumbledore about Harry somehow becoming an animagus, which he refused to believe, and I frankly find it quite difficult to believe as well. Until she told him to bring out his pensive, and she would show him. She also stated that she would start checking the newly updated library for any references to magical structures that are sufficiently self-aware actually to bend the laws of magic, when headmaster Dumbledore told her. "The house most likely somehow used one of its protection spells to transfer the effects to young Harry. As for the increase in the speed of the animagus process, he could only assume that there was some sort of temporal spell on the property as well."

When she asked what his answer was in regards to Harry's form. As the effect, it would inevitably have on Harry's magic. Since all animagus with magical forms have always had their cores altered by said of a form. He told her, "in regards to the species that will have to remain a mystery until someone finds an actual trickster fox. As for his magical animagus magical or not, he failed to see how a mischievous creature could have a profound impact on Harry's magic."

She countered by saying, "I can think of a few things that certain mischievous wands can do to spells or even replace them altogether. What do you think a mischievous core would have on Harry's magic."

Headmaster Dumbledore did not give a direct answer, for he simply said, "there are core experts in Britain and America who could better address that problem. Now, if you'll excuse me, Lord Black has requested a meeting at my office after breakfast. Something in regards to the solicitor who insured that young Harry stayed with Sirius." This bemusing thought reminded me of what was said about financial reimbursement regarding legal fees. I have a sneaking suspicion Albus is going to have more than a few fewer coins in his vaults after the meeting is over.
