RWBY: The Unknown Sibling
(Harry is two years older than Ruby and three months older than Yang)

To the Anon who mentioned my timelines in ages. He is correct, Harry is the same age as Yang.

Teams RWBY and HAND looked at the Headmaster 'Why?'. The man asked as he reached for his mug of tea which had been filled up by Damania.

"The answer is why not. The rules do not state anywhere the limit of ammo that can be brought into the school by students. Furthermore, if we are asking that question then why is Weiss Schnee keeping powdered dust in their dormitory without appropriate equipment. Granted Powered Dust is more stable than liquid but that is only marginally so." Harry countered.

Weiss bristled with indignation "Because, I am a Schnee. I know what I am doing?"

Yang sighed as did Ruby. The cousins could not believe that Weiss had not realised that Harry loved to annoy her when she was so obnoxious. Blake had to hide a snigger at the retort. "Mr. Branwen please play nice with your peers." Ozpin said calmly shutting down any retaliation from the Schnee.

Ozpin nodded "I had expected students to bring enough ammo for their weaponry for each term and maybe slightly more."

Harry nodded "Better to have and not need, rather than not have and need." He suddenly smiled "I'm enjoying this Headmaster. We are actually having a discussion over rule wording and no-one is losing their minds over it. I could not do this in my other school."

Ozpin chuckled "You do know that some of those rounds are illegal to be had. I am referring to the Full Metal Jacketed ones even Full Metal Jacket Dust Rounds are illegal."

Harry cocked his head "Is that illegal on school property illegal or illegal, illegal like illegal to have well illegal and addictive substances that could result in jail time illegal? If it is the former and or the latter please can I see the rule and legislation?"

Ozpin nodded and out of his pocket he pulled out a battered and worn but definitely intact and up to date Beacon Academy Rule Book. "Page 450, section 3, paragraph A, Subsection 3, lines 90-94." True to Ozpin's words Harry saw in clear letters and reasons why.

"Punch through aura, 50% maiming rate and 80% fatal if connects with sufficient body mass." Harry gulped.

Furthermore, Harry saw on the tablet there was an entire chapter and five case studies on why the Full Metal Jacket rounds were to be prohibited from normal shelf purchase. In fact the Island of Patch was one of the few places that allowed for it to be purchased and the person had to be 25, and a valid reason and paperwork for having the rounds. If caught with them subject to anywhere between 3months to 3years and that is depending on what is wrong. Mr. Branwen you would probably be looking at 8 to 10months for the volume of FMJ and DFMJ (Dust Full Metal Jackets)."

Harry and Ruby gulped. "I understand you did not know. I presume we can come to arrangement?"

Harry grinned "I'll sell them to you or to the school if you would like? Four thousand Lien. I already owe you sixteen thousand for the acquisition of materials for my gear."

Ozpin grinned "Done…Mistakes happen. As a member of the Council and Headmaster, this is one of the few duties I must do myself. Just don't let it happen again. As for your dust rounds, have you set up a suitable storage system?"

Adam pointed to several footlockers in the corner of the room "Harry's done something to them. Made them bigger and place a barrier of sorts all around them."

Ozpin rushed forwards and tried to hit it with his cane. The shield appeared, flickered and managed to force the attack back. "I am satisfied. Now I have the rest of your classmates to investigate and then the upper years."

Soon enough the pizza arrived with the complimentary bottles of soda. The eight teens sat down on the chairs, beds and tables devouring the ten pizzas. It may have seemed excessive but eight people five of whom were fans of meat pizzas, two of whom were not fussed and one of them was a vegetarian. Adam and Nanuuk with amazement as the last five pieces of pizza were placed on one of the boxes. Harry's eyes flickered yellow and he dissolved snatching one of the last pieces in a flurry of lightning.

"No fair." Said Yang.

"I bought, you ate. You know the rule." Harry replied.

"What are you going to do with the ammo?" Demanded Weiss, her eyes glinting at the blackmail she had over Harry.

"If you're going to call the council on me, remember you are admitting to acknowledging that I possess it and that could come across as 'conspiracy to provide'."

Weiss turned pink with anger "Why you…"

"Fantastic looking, suave manipulator that I am? Or was it adorable little psychopath."

Adam choked. Nanuuk snorted as Damania who was only partially listening said aimlessly "There is nothing little about you in anyway…What!"

Harry paled as the entire room laughed at him. Ruby looked confused "I'll explain when you're older."

(Hogwarts)

Dumbledore summoned Neville, Hermione, Ron, Ginny and Luna into his office "Have you had any luck finding Harry?"

Neville shrugged "Personally mixed results."
Hermione harrumphed "Yes."
Ron and the rest disagreed.

"Neville please explain."

Hermione went to open her mouth when no voice came out "It is a waste of time. We found Harry disappeared whilst in Japan, but where he went we do not know. Hermione is convinced he is hiding somewhere in magical Asia but I don't think so."

Ron joined in "Hermione's told us nothing about what we are to be searching for. So how can we find something if we know nothing about it."

Hermione turned on Neville "I told you what we needed to be looking for."

Neville groaned "Dumbledore I'm out. I do not have time for this crap." As he walked out he past Professor Snape, Snape didn't see him and he let out a curse that sounded like 'Bloody Remnant of his soul. Need to see Dumbledore'.

Neville stopped "Remnant…One of the two missing continents on Earth…Neville knew of Remnant supposedly a few of his cousins had made it there. If you have gone there Harry, you are definitely out the reaches of Dumbledore." His mind made up he headed towards the front doors.

"Where are you going Mr. Longbottom?" Asked Professor McGonagall.

"Off to convince a stubborn mule that brainless minders are after him to bring him home…I think I know where Harry is." McGonagall stared.

"I see, I shall tell the Headmaster you have Head of House business and will be gone for some time."

(Headmaster's Office)

"I had placed a listening charm on Harry and Professor Lupin. I heard a discussion about a place called Remnant."

Hermione's eyes widened "Remnant! I thought that it was a myth…" She looked around "…Neville's gone!"

"Mr. Longbottom has some duties to deal with as Heir to House Longbottom. It will take some time." Dumbledore said after receiving a vocal patronus.

"Professor, that's the ruse. Neville's saying that because that is the only way he is going to get off the grounds without many questions being asked. He's going to go to Asia and get to Remnant if it exists…We have to beat him to it."

(Longbottom Hall)

Neville arrived home to find his Grandmother waiting for him. "Why are you here so early?"

"I know where a friend is. I need to warn him about potential attacks and abductions." Neville explained "He is a Potter and I'm a Longbottom. We honour our pacts, he has stood up for me and I've stood up for him. Right now he needs me. He might not know it yet."

Augusta Longbottom looked at her grandson and smiled. She may have been hard on him but he had become worthy young man "What of the Wizarding World?"

Neville snorted "I'll stand by him. If he comes back to clean up and tear it down I'll do it. To be frank we do not deserve him or his sacrifice."

Augusta nodded and handed him the rucksack, she had at her side "It was your fathers. It's got your clothes and hopefully enough currency depending on where you are going."

Neville nodded "I'm going to Remnant."

(Remnant, Vale, Beacon Academy, HAND Dorm)

Harry and his team tidied up and headed to bed "Harry, the ammo you have is that for you only?" Asked Nanuuk curiously.

"No. I bought all that so my sister and cousin don't have to buy more and potentially blow themselves to kingdom come. I've got enough for you guys as well more than enough most likely. Just let me know the type of ammo you use so I can stock up if and when we run low." Harry said as he fell asleep atop his duvet.

Damania, Nanuuk and Adam all fell asleep shortly after. All of the contemplating just how lucky they were to have Harry Branwen as their team leader. Yes he had his faults and they had theirs but for once especially for Adam, he believed that they would pull together and take Remnant by storm. "Definitely upsetting people but we'll do what we do best." They thought as the hours ticked towards Saturday.

The morning dawned bright and cheerful. Although in the HAND dorm, the morning was woken with Harry breaking another alarm clock. He rolled out of bed and was in the shower and dressed as Adam woke up.

The rule for happiness in the HAND dorm was first one up put the kettle on. Harry got dressed and had a mug of tea in his hand, it read seven in the morning. Breakfast would not be until another hour and then it would be two hours until his date.

Harry was a nervous wreck, as was Velvet as the two teams met in the Great Hall for breakfast. Harry delved into his full Vale Breakfast that looked something suspiciously like a Full English back home.

"You okay Harry?" Harry looked up and saw his sister looking at him, concern evident in her eyes.

"I'm fine pint size. I'm fine. Just nervous."

"About your date?" Yang said a teasing tone evident in her voice.

"If you carry on Yang. You'll find yourself bold or cropped short." To make full emphasis on that threat, Harry pulled out a razor.

Yang's eyes narrowed and then widened "You dare."

Harry smiled "Challenge…accepted."

Adam coughed and successfully broke the mounting tension with a cough "You sure your relationship isn't incestuous?"

"I will shave you Adam." Harry growled. Adam was half sure that Harry was joking but decided to cut him slack.

"All rights to jab are on hold until you and Velvet are a couple."

"IF we become a couple."

Adam nodded as did the rest of HAND, RWBY and JNPR. However Harry had a sinking feeling that this quiet tranquillity was going to come crashing down.

Harry met Velvet outside her room. She was dressed in a short sleeved brown jacket, brown pants and black leggings with a pair of pumps or what Harry thought were pumps "Wow."

Velvet blushed at Harry's slightly red face. He had a black leather trench coat on, underneath she noticed a form fitting grey t-shirt covering what looked like a flak vest. Black jeans and a pair of probably reinforced trainers. The typical bandages around his hands were gone. Velvet looked and on the hand just below the thumb she thought she caught a word on his hand. 'I…' The word looked like it had been carved into his skin. Velvet noticed that he had shaved upon her request.

Coco was waiting near Velvet and whistled "You dress up nicely Harry when you put the effort in."

"Maybe from now on I will Coco. I bid you adieu." With that he offered Velvet his arm which she took and she giggled. She was liking him already.

They made it to the Bulkheads with no effort or problems. Velvet noticed that the muscles in Harry's arms, were noticeably well to her less tense and more relaxed than normal. But there was an underlying tension going through his entire frame something that she endeavoured to reach the bottom of.

Velvet may not be the most natural fighter when it came to being a Hunter, but her stubbornness to do right by others and help them was rumoured to be on par with Harry's own sister.

They entered Vale in comfortable silence "Velvet, lead on. Where do you want to go for coffee so we can have our chat."

Velvet looked at him and decided to play a game "Can you afford it?"

Harry grinned at her "Easy. My guardians left me with a trust vault that was…vast. To say the least."

Velvet stared at him "Did you just say trust vault? As in the play around money rich kids have?" She asked stuttering slightly.

Harry nodded "Sorry. I didn't realise. I am so sorry." Harry said slowly reaching out for her hand. "Let me explain, I grew up with having nothing. Nothing at all. All I had were clothes that could fit a baby Goliath. Yes my cousin was that big. Anyway, I found out my parents who are actually my aunt and uncle and my aunt and uncle aren't even my aunt and uncle…Oum that is confusing. Anyway I found that I had a trust vault. I would give that away for my parents but I thought they were dead so I used to sparingly."

Velvet looked at Harry with utter regret in her eyes "I thought you were treating me like a charity…"

Velvet knew she had said something wrong when the ground ripped apart in a miniature earth quake "Never. I'm crap with relationships, so I'm trying to learn rapidly. I care Velvet Scarlatina about you more than I could explain at this point in time."

Velvet smiled and wrapped herself around him and he hugged her "I'm sorry."

Harry chuckled "Don't worry. Now about that coffee. We need to have a chat." Velvet nodded, and dragged Harry off towards a shop called 'Scarlet Tea and Coffee'. "My Uncles. He doesn't get much business due to Faunus-discriminatory laws."

Harry smirked "Well, just to let you know. I do not give a damn about what others say. I make it my mission to upset apple carts and shatter ego's. If your Uncle needs assistance then I'll give him that."

Russet Scarlatina looked up as his favourite (and only) niece walked in with a human. "Hello niece, sir what can I get you?"

Velvet gave her normal order when the customer spoke "What's the best thing you can import."

Russet looked at him "I have a Menagerie coffee bean that is in a grey area. I can't technically sell to humans."

"Give me a large one of it as a cappuccino. If anyone gives you grief tell them Harry Potter told you to. I'll deal with it." Harry said calmly.

Russet looked at him "You will?"

Harry smirked "I'm stubborn as mule and short tempered like a tiger…In fact I'd like to see someone force me into something I do not wish. Besides I think Velvet and I are going to be here a while."

Russet nodded "Date?"

Velvet cut in "Yeah…He's new in town and new to the school. He kinda asked me out. First words actually."

Russet chuckled before fixing Harry with a calm look "You…treat her right."

Harry nodded "I will. Now how much?" The pair found themselves settled down and with their drinks, Velvet spoke.

"The writing on your hand…What's the story behind it? I saw some other scars on your arms and back during initiation."

Harry grinned "I, Hadrian James Branwen also known as Hadrian 'Harry' James Potter, promised to reveal all and now I shall so it has been said and so it shall be done." With that he began to speak.

Harry did not know why but when he opened up with Velvet, everything fell away. Soon enough Velvet was introduced to Harry Branwen as Harry Branwen/Harry Potter being himself rather than the façade he kept up around himself whilst at Beacon.

Velvet realised that the façade was very much a part of Harry that Harry did not know he had. It was one of snark and humour and a protective shield against the scared little boy thrust into the spotlight who had to juggle several different levels of expectations.

They arrived just after eleven and it was not getting on for three when they ran into trouble. They left the shop with Velvet's third tea and Harry's fifth Menagerie Cappuccino that was addictive that it was giving him the jitters from the caffeine. One of the downsides of using lightning dust in the body was the long term side effects meant he was extremely sensitive to the effects of caffeine.

"Oi! You. Yeah you. With the Rabbit Faunus Bitch." Someone called.

Velvet sighed "These guys are part of the HV party. Humanity Of Vale, they despise Faunus."

Harry sighed "No thanks to what you are selling."

One of them smirked "Then you won't mind if we beat you black and blue and take care of the bitch."

Velvet looked at her date and nodded, he received the nod. "I'm not in the Black and Blue trade. I'm in the coffin trade." Harry's hands erupted into flames and it formed a fiery incarnation of White Absolution.

Velvet mimicked his stance and her hands began to glow blue.
