Paige and Phoebe orbed away, first Phoebe back to work then herself back home to relax on her day off. Piper waited around with Leo out in the waiting room.
"Leo?" Piper says after a small silence passed between the husband and wife with them just basking in one anothers company.
"Are you scared that Wyatt is coming here, to this country where he's only going to have Harry for company?" Leo squeezes her hand gently.
"Of course I am honey, every parent is scared when their child is going to spend a long time without them, it's natural for you to feel that way but you have to remember, he's The Twice Blessed child, with an unbelievable amount of Power and Magic flowing through him, and if you even think for a second that Harry will let anything happen to the boy who he grew up with as a brother instead of a cousin, you've got another thing coming. And also Lily and even James now will be around 24/7 for their protection, with Lily having been given a job to work there. I'm guessing that with James as Harry's Whitelighter now, he'll have to reveal himself to the world as so unless people get the wrong idea. They'll be fine, and when Chris goes to join them next year, he won't be totally alone, they will all make new friends, you'll see" Piper sighs and leans against him.
"I know they won't be alone, but they'll be without us. Look at what we went through when Wyatt was born, he had so many attempts on his life and we won't be able to protect him anymore. I'm just scared Leo" Piper says. Leo wraps his arm around her and squeezes her gently while saying
"Wyatt has come into his Powers just fine, and Hogwarts is just as safe as Magic School, and both are safer for him than if he were at home with us honey, what with the attacks at the home from time to time. Don't worry honey, I'm just as scared as you are" Piper turns in her husband's arms and kisses him chastely.
"Ew! Aunt Piper, I don't want to see that!" Harry says while teasingly covering his eyes, causing Lily and Marlene laugh as they left their friends room, leaving them to have some much needed family bonding time. Leo laughs along with his sister-in-law as his wife speeds over to Harry and begins to tickle him. After Harry escapes his aunt's wrath, the family and friend orb back to Diagon Alley, where Leo can sense Prue.
"Prue, Lily can you explain something to me? Are you guys still dead or are you now living? I'm sort of confused?" Piper asks after she looks at Wyatt's and Harry's list and sees all is left to get is a wand and they send Leo away with Chris, who was beginning to get bored walking around the alley, and the stuff they had already bought. Lily had raised the fact that she was going to buy Harry an owl, in hoping that Harry would form a familiar bond with it and he'd be able to send letters home to the sisters and so two mothers, their children and Prue made for a shop called Eyelops Owl Emporium. Prue replies to her younger sisters question with
"The Elders told us three things, as a reward for all of the hard work we have done in the past, often sacrificing ourselves in mine and Lily's cases, to better the chances for Good. The first reward is that they have granted James, Lily's husband and Harry's father, the role of Whitelighter and made Harry, Wyatt and Chris his charges and they granted Andy the role of Whitelighter and made the other kids his charges. They then told me that Lily and I have been given our Witch Powers back and they incorporated the both of us into the Charmed Ones, making us able to make Power of Three Spells stringer with either The Power of Four for the Power Five, sort of like Harry's Augmentation Power and they gave Lily her other Magic back so she has both like Harry does. They told us we're sort of like Paige but we're still dead and we're sharing our charges, Lily with James and myself with Andy. The third gift is that all members of the family can now use our Powers and our Wiccan Magic without having to worry about Personal Gain anymore, and obviously Harry and Lily never had to worry about that with their Wizarding magic."
Piper smiles widely at this, she's been in many situations that using their Magic would have been beneficial and hadn't been allowed to do so. Now that they can, life would be made so much easier, at least she hopes so anyway. The group of five walk into the Owl Emporium and Harry, his eyes glazed over walks over to a snowy owl immediately.
"Wait! I wouldn't go near her if I were you!" a man called as Harry opened the cage the owl was in and reached inside to pet the beautiful avian. The man looked on in awe as the owl didn't attack the young child but even nuzzled his hand, a warm glow covering the two. Harry withdrew his hand from the cage and the owl started to glow brightly from the waves of Power that is flying from Harry's floating body.7
"What's happening?" Piper asks Lily and the shopkeeper, sounding alarmed.
"Harry is creating a familiar bond with the owl. His magic, being so strong and powerful, is making the owl transform to a familiar better suited to him and his magic." Lily explains with glee in her voice. The glow around the aviary creature and it the owls place stands a brilliant White Phoenix.
'Finally! I've been waiting for you since we were born! What took you so long?' Harry hears a smooth and melodic voice say in his mind.
"I'm sorry girl. I've been in America for most of my life. What is your name?" Harry asks. The Phoenix cocks her head sideways and says
'Hedwig. I saw that name in your mind and it resonates with my being. You may call me Hedwig' Harry nods and the Phoenix flames from its place in the cage to perch herself on Harry's shoulder.
"How much for Hedwig?" Harry asks the man, the proprietor of the store.
"This store has always had a policy that if a Familiar Bond is formed with one of our animals then they go for half price and will get the stuff needed to care for their Familiar free of charge, I've calculated the price to be 15 Galleons." The man replies, fetching a bag from behind the counter which appeared in a brilliant white flash labeled 'Phoenix – Hediwg'. Lily lays 20 Galleons on the table and she and Harry leave the store, Piper, Prue and Wyatt following after Piper had bought her son a Snowy owl he'd named Athena, who he unfortunately couldn't bond to.
The group of five walked then from the Owl Emporium to Ollivander's. They walked in and were immediately welcomed by a man with crazy grey/white hair and stormy grey eyes.
"Lily Potter! Willow, Unicorn Hair 10 ¾". I hear though that as of late, it's been unused due to your being a Whitelighter, is that true?" the man asks in his creepy, raspy and quiet voice.
"Hello Mr. Ollivander! Yes it has been unused recently but I always have it with me and just between us, I can use it now" Lily replies with a wide smile and flicks her wand, causing the flowers in the vase bloom prettily.
"Now then, who shall we start with? How about you Mr. Halliwell?" Ollivander asks as a tape measure and starts to measure everything about Wyatt while explaining how no two Ollivander wands are the same, he uses different cores and different woods and different measurements to ensure variety, to match the variety of customers he has. He hands a wand to Wyatt, who waves it at the old man's insistence and set the flowers ablaze. Ollivander quickly snatches the wand from the Halliwell boy's hand and replaced it with another. When this wand entered the young mans hand, a warm feeling spread through his body and red sparks shot from the tip of the wand.
"This is your wand it seems young Wyatt. It is made of Larch Wood, measures at 14 ½" and has the core of a Unicorn Hair." Piper hands over the necessary amount of Galleons and the man then turns to Harry.
He hands one wand over to Harry, who waves it and breaks the vase holding the newly extinguished flowers. He tries several wands after this until he comes across one which feels slightly warm to the touch but he feels wary about it for some reason.
"I remember every wand I've ever sold, Mr. Potter. It so happens that the phoenix whose tailfeather resides in your wand gave another feather... just one other. It is curious that you should be destined for this wand when its brother gave you that scar." Harry turned and sent a though to his mother.
"Mum. I can't use this wand, it feels weird in my hand, like it belongs to me and will follow my commands but for some reason I feel a connection to the other wand through this one and it's off-putting to say the least. What can we do?" Lily looked at the wandmaker and asked
"Mr Ollivander? My son has just told me that he feels the connection of Voldemort's wand through his. If it's possible, could you craft him a personal wand, I'm sure his familiar would part with a feather for him and having a core of his familiar as well as that of one that his magic calls to would be most beneficial. If you wouldn't mind could we pay for this wand and store it away, it may come in handy in the future I'm guessing." Mr. Oliivander's eyes lit up. A custom-made wand is exceptionally powerful, and to use a core from a familiar strengthens the power of the wand. It also costs more money so that is always a plus in his eyes.
"You do understand that a custom wand…" Mr. Ollivander began before Lily had cut him off by putting 60 Galleons and saying
"We're more than prepared sir." Ollivander motioned for the family to follow him and walked to the back of the shop. He flicked his hand and several boxes flew from the place on a shelf and onto a very large table.
"Mr. Potter if you would please hold your hand over each box and tell me which of these woods your magic reacts to better." Harry had done as he asked. He walked over to the table and walked along the table and stopping and pointing at three boxes. Ollivander's eyes sparkled even more if that were even possible, the young boy shows such great magical power.
"These wand woods are extremely powerful, we can expect great things from you Mr. Potter.
The first wood you had pointed out is Fir wood which demands staying power and strength of purpose in their owners and is particularly suited to Transfiguraion. I will craft the body of the wand with this wood. The second wood, which I will intertwine with the Fir to form the body and also use it to form part of the hilt, is the English Oak. This wand wood demands partners of strength, courage and fidelity, has a powerful intuition and strong affinity for nature magic while the third wood, which will form the rest of the hilt is Alder Wood which is unyielding though it's owner is not stubborn or obstinate but is helpful, considerate and most likable and is brilliant for non-verbal spell work , which indicates your power levels as the wand only ever chooses one strong enough to wield it. Could you hold your hand over the boxes of cores, and would your familiar be willing to part with a feather? I find that if the Phoenix gives the feather and it is not plucked from them, the magical connection is even stronger." Ollivander explained as he collected the woods, sent the boxes away and brought other boxes out.
While Ollivander began to fashion the wand Harry turned towards Hedwig.
'Hedwig. Would you mind flashing to another location and leaving behind a feather. I shall use that in my wand and link us even closer together.' Hedwig looked at him funnily and thought
'I do understand what humans are saying when you talk you know, I'm not a simpleton Harry, do not treat me as otherwise.' She sounded offended. Harry quickly pushed his feelings of remorse through their bond and thought
'Please girl, I meant no disrespect. I just thought I should ask you seeing as I'm the one who's going to be using your feather.' Hedwig nodded and trilled a soothing song, easing her bond-mates emotions. She flashed from her perch in her cage to land on Wyatt's shoulder, who let out a startled yelp and Ollivander, after receiving a nod from the majestic White Phoenix, picked up the feather from the cage with reverence. Harry had done the same process and two boxes really stood out to him, and Ollivander says he will only take from one of the boxes as the other contains a Phoenix Feather.
"The other core young Harry has chosen in a Dragon Heartstring, specifically a Norwegian Ridgeback. Dragon Heartstring cores learn more quickly than other types of wand cores. A Phoenix feather on the other hand is the rarest core type and are capable of a far greater range of magic than a Dragon Heartstring or a Unicorn Hair and work of their own initiative, a quality most wizards and witches dislike let me tell you." Ollivander said this as he twists the two cores around one another and uses complicated spell work to merge the cores to the wand fashioned.
Ollivander handed the wand to Harry, who stumbled from the surge that his magic produced as it linked to a wand best suited for him. Ollivander explained that Harry's wand measure's and 13 ¼" and is reasonably supple and flexible. He gave 15 Galleons back to the Potters and said
"I have charged you for both the wands. I would normally charge 45 Galleons for a custom made wand using the woods and cores that young Harry here has but since he had his own Phoenix Feather I took away the price for that specific core. Have a nice day and I look forward to hear about your exploits young men!"
"Where to now mum?" Harry asked excitedly.
"We've got everything we need now honey. We're going to go to Gringotts and get access to Potter Manor, your grandparents home, and stay there for the night until tomorrow for your Godfather's trial. Piper are you going to stay with us or go home?" Lily replied then asked her elder sister.
"I think we're going to head back home honey." Prue nodded and after wishing her sister and nephew luck, orbed her sister and other nephew away, leaving them in the hands of Marlene McKinnon.
"Do you mind if I join you? I have a feeling something is waiting for you at Potter Manor, you know that I had 'The Sight' and that never died when I was turned." Marlene says as the mother and son turn to her.
"Of course Marl! I'd love for that, though I already know what's at Potter Manor" Lily said with a soft smile on her face.
The trio walk into Gringotts and walk up to a teller.
"I'd like to see our account manager please." Lily says politely, waiting for the teller to look up from his paperwork. The Goblins eyes scrutinise her for a moment before asking in a gravelly voice
"And who is asking?" Lily meets the Goblin's eyes and says in a clear voice
"Harry Potter here, i'm his mother, Lily." The Goblin seemingly fell from his seat and disappeared he rushed off so quickly and then came back to usher the three into an office that reads on a plaque 'Ragnok, King of The Goblin Nation and Head of Gringotts Bank'. Lily's eyes had widened at this, she'd never attended a bank meeting with James, preferring to let her husband deal with that as it's his family who'd earned the money and title, not herself.
"Lady Lilian! Such a pleasure!" A Goblin said in a smoother voice than others Lily and Marlene had met before but still rather gravelly.
"Your Highness! Please excuse my brashness, but I assumed it'd be another of The People who'd manage the Potter Accounts and not one of such high standing as yourself! Harry, I'd like you to meet King Ragnok the Great, King of the Goblin Nation, otherwise referred to as The People, and apparently the Account Manager of our Family Vault." Lily said in a humble but surprised tone of voice, Harry's eyes widened. He'd obviously heard of King Ragnok the Great even in America, and had never even suspected that his Father's family were so high up socially that the King of the People managed their account!
"I must apologise but as the Potter Family Accounts have been inactive since your death, we must do a blood test if you wish to have full access to them. I must iterate however that you will then become Lord Potter being the last living one, and could also inherit any other titles and Lordships. When your blood hits the parchment a list shall form of any Lordships you can claim now and any that you are the heir of and how much money is in each of their accounts. It shall also list any abilities that you have." King Ragnok says, waving his hand and making a small dagger and a piece of parchment appear. Harry takes the dagger and, after the urging from his mother, slices his palm and lets his blood pool on the parchment before his wound closes up and heals. The blood swirls around the parchment and forms a list.

Harry and Co's eyes widened as they read the list. Lily looks to Ragnok and asks
"He's a Horcrux! Is there a way for you to get rid of that bastard's soul piece stuck in my son?!" with panic in her voice. The King of the People looks to the door as there a knock is sounded. He gives permission for the outsider to enter the office and a large group of Goblins enter, one of them each carrying something, the artifacts mentioned in the list, acquired as the Inheritance laws dictated, one group carrying a cage with five chickens inside, and another team not carrying anything. "My Lord and Lady, please allow me to explain. All artefacts mentioned above were collected by a team of Goblins as is required due to Inheritance Laws set centuries before us. I have called a team of Goblin Curse Breakers to perform a ritual which will transfer the Horcrux from one place into these chickens, your son, due to growing with the Horcrux, will still have the abilities listed he had gained by it. We are ready to do this ritual now and it will cost you nothing due to your status as Friend of The People. Please lie down here and we'll begin the transfer" Ragnok said as he waved his hand and a table appeared. Harry looked at his mother and Godmother, both of whom nodded at him encouragingly. He walked over to the table and lay down. As the goblins had started to chant in Gobblydegook and Harry immediately passed out.
uuu
Harry's eyes fluttered open as the doors to King Ragnok's office had closed with a smooth click. Lily was by his side, grasping his hand.
"Is it gone?" Harry asked the King. Lily looked at her son confusedly.
"What did you say hunny?" Ragnok laughed heartily and explains.
"not to worry Lily, he simply spoke the language of The People." Harry's eyes widened a touch, had he really spoken a language previously unknown to him?
"I must ask though my liege, how is it Harry can become Lord Ravenclaw but then he's 12th in line for the Halliwell and Warren lines and the three come from my family, shouldn't my sister Piper hold the title as the oldest living Halliwell and Warren?" Lily asks as she and Harry go and sit back down and the table he was lying on had melted into the floor.
"Please, call me Ragnok, the Potters and the related families have been Friends of The People for centuries and your husband and father-in-law were especially good friends of mine. The reason is that Ravenclaw is a Wizarding House and Family, while the Warren and Halliwell Family's are Wiccan and have different laws of succession, Harry, being the first of the family with Wizarding blood is Lord Ravenclaw. Even though your nephew Wyatt is older, he can use Wizarding Magic only because of the Elders and how powerful he truly is, your son on the other hand, was born a Wizard and therefore has superiority. I must apologise but we must now bid one another adieu, but before we do. Harry, you have to claim your Lordship for whatever Houses you can become Lord of now, otherwise you are unable to use any of the money left to you or you won't be able to access any of the properties. However, I must warn you, if you take up your Lordships you'll be forced to also take on any contracts they have with other houses. This includes any marriage contracts or laws. You will have to have a wife for each house though I am afraid." The King says before taking out an intricate chest, which he opens to reveal the Lord Rings for each House. Harry reaches out and puts on each ring and a list appeared in front of Ragnok, who looks it over and passes it to Lily so she, Marlene and Harry can look it over
"Now that is quite the list" Marlene says with a small giggle.
(A/N Hey guys! Hope you liked this extra long chapter! Just a little fact, Wyatt's wand is actually what i got on Pottermore! The details of the wand woods and cores i also gained from there, such a brilliant source of canon information from the Queen herself. Sorry for taking so long, i've had to do two assessments for my course, both of which still aren't done quite yet, and there's my reason! Thanks for staying by me everyone, I haven't forgotten about you all! Harry's wand specifications fit what sort of character he is in the books and this little story. Hope i'm not becoming too cliched now with the super powerful and rich Harry and him having to have multiple wives, but i have plans, do not worry. Speaking of the wives, who should he marry from the Potter world, Hermione, Fleur and Daphne are for definite and in no way will i pair Harry with Luna. I do apologise but there will be no Harry-slash in this story, but that doesn't include Wyatt so please, send in suggestions for him if you have some! Send in some suggestions for both boys please! Until next time!)
