James Potter, heir to the noble House of Potter could only watch as the girl he loved stood before the gathered nobles, beautiful Lily Evans was now Empress Consort Lilian Li Britannia.

'Why did this have to happen?'

James managed to suppress the anger and jealousy he was feeling towards Emperor Charles Zi Britannia, but only just. He was the heir to the noble Potter family who could trace their lineage back to one of the prominent Celtic tribes who originally fought the Romans. But even so he couldn't compare to the Emperor of the Britannian Empire, and that fact pissed him of. He had gone to school with Lily and in their final years they had even started dating. Imagine his shock when just after graduating Lily came to him and told him that she was ending their relationship to become the Empress Consort.

As he stared up at the beautiful red head he thought to himself 'That woman up there isn't the Lily I knew.'

"Let it go James, before you do something stupid."

James glanced to his left to see his best friend Sirius Black, heir to the Noble Black family who could also trace their lineage back to another of the original Celtic tribes. Sirius shook his head and patted his friend on the shoulder "Forget about her, she made her choice mate."

James just sighed and tapped his left temple "I know that here."

Sirius just nodded "But your heart just can't forget, can't say I know how you're feeling mate but I am sorry."

James scowled "I don't want your pity Sirius."

Sirius just grinned "Then how about a drink instead. We've made an appearance now let's go back home and get out of these monkey suits and head to the pub."

Despite the situation James smiled "Sounds like a plan."

…

Almost five months passed before James saw Lily again. He was roused one day by someone knocking on his bedroom door "James please get up."

James groaned and buried his face into the red hair of his lovely female companion "Get lost Remus, its way to early."

Remus Lupin may have been a commoner and one of his family's servants but James still considered the man a dear friend. But that didn't mean he would kick his ass if the man didn't let him go back to sleep.

"Sorry James but there is someone very important here to see you."

"What's going on?"

James sighed and rolled over "It's just Remus, go back to sleep Amelia."

Amelia Bones just snorted in a very un-ladylike manner "Yeah right, besides I'm running late as it is, you know the local Police can't do their jobs right without me holding the sword over their necks."

James just shook his head as he watched her quickly get dressed in her uniform "Don't you mean breathing down their necks?"

Amelia just grinned as she strapped her sword to her waist "I know what I said. Now go see who's here, I'll see you tonight."

With a last kiss Amelia left leaving James to get dressed, he knew he should get all dressed up for his unknown and uninvited guest but he honestly couldn't be bothered so he simply threw on a pair of jeans and a long sleeved shirt and made his way downstairs where Remus was waiting for him.

"James you really should be dressed properly."

James just scoffed as he moved past Remus into the atrium "Who would be important enough to warrant that?"

Only to stop dead in his tracks as he came face to face with his former girlfriend turned Empress Consort. Remus just sighed and replied "Empress Consort Lilian Li Britannia."

James's eyebrow twitched in annoyance, he could just hear the laughter in Remus's voice "Thank you Remus."

"You're most welcome sir, if you'll excuse me Milady I'll leave you two alone."

Lily just smiled slightly "Thank you Remus." Before she turned to James who was staring at her swollen belly, she absently rubbed her belly with a smile "It's a girl, I'm going to name her Cornelia."

James managed a nod and forced a smile on his face "I'm happy for you My Lady. I hope you didn't come here just to tell me that, it wouldn't be proper."

Lily just smiled sadly "Since when do you care about being a proper noble?"

James merely shrugged "I don't. Why are you here?"

Lily took a deep breath as if building up her courage before she spoke "I want you to be my knight of Honour."

James stared at her for a second before he began to chuckle, it was soft at first but within moments he was roaring with laughter. Lily looked worried as James finally managed to get himself under control "That was a marvellous joke Milady."

Lily shook her head in denial "It wasn't a joke James. I want you to be my knight of honour."

James stared at her for a moment before he snarled like an animal and threw the drink Remus had made for him over her head "It was not funny the first time! This is not but a cruel joke at my expense and I ask you politely to leave Milady before I lose my temper further."

Lily didn't move or flinch at his harsh tone "No, this isn't a joke James. I need someone I can trust to be my Knight."

James stared at her for a moment before turning away "Why ask me, why not Sirius?"

"It can only be you James."

"Why? So you can mock me behind my back while I stand in front of you to see the faces of the other nobles as they speak just loud enough to hear how I am nothing but a dog following you around for any scrap of affection you decide to throw my way!"

"James, please, I'm sorry! I'm sorry for leading you on like I did!"

James froze in shock "Lead me on? You knew all along that the emperor would take you as his consort! Was this all some kind of sick game to you, make the poor noble boy fall in love with you knowing he could never have you!"

Lily looked like she was about to cry, and James looked like he was ready breath fire as several armed soldiers came rushing into the room weapons drawn at James's outburst. "Milady is everything alright?"

James glared at the soldier who spoke "Take the empress consort back to her private villa and do not darken my doorstep again."

With that said James stormed out of the room and deeper into the Potter manor while Remus shows the soldiers and lily to the front door.

James marched through the mansion until he caught sight of red hair to his left and saw Amelia leaning against the wall next to the door he just entered through "I guess you heard all that?"

Amelia nodded "I did, kind of harsh weren't you?" at James look Amelia continued "Not that she didn't deserve it. Hard to believe that Lily, that sweet young girl we knew back in school was capable of something like that."

James just ran a hand through his hair in frustration, seeing him at a loss for words Amelia took his hand and lead him back upstairs "What are you doing Amy?"

Amelia just grinned over her shoulder as she began to undress "We may not have had a fight, but that doesn't mean we can't have some angry sex, people always feel better after some angry sex."

James just stared at her for a moment before letting out a genuine laugh "You are amazing Amy."

Amelia just smirked as James took off his shirt and pushed her onto the bed "So you keep telling me."

…

Ten-year-old Cornelia Li Britannia sat on a bench looking at the garden in their villa, her mother had gone into labour several hours ago and now she was just waiting. She had finished her studies for the day and then went to find her mother, but the purple haired princess was told that her mother who was expecting her second child had gone to get her sibling.

"Princess Cornelia."

Cornelia looked up to find her mother's knight of Honour Sirius Black smiling down at her "Sir Sirius is my little brother here yet?"

Sirius just smiled "How many times do I have to tell you to call me uncle, or Padfoot?"

Cornelia just shook her head "No. I won't. Now don't you have something for me?"

Sirius just sighed before he reached into his jacket and took out some money which he handed to her "Don't tell your mother or father that you've been betting with me."

Cornelia just grinned as she took the money "I told you I would have a baby brother. But you wouldn't listen."

Sirius just nodded "Don't rub it in kid, now come on, your mother wants to see you."

Cornelia nodded as she took his hand and was escorted to her mother's room, inside was he mother laying in her bed with doctors packing up their belongings, in her mother's arms was her baby brother, she ran over and climbed onto the bed to see him, he had a small tuft of black hair on his head and had lily's emerald coloured eyes. "What's his name?"

Lily smiled at her daughter as she carefully handed the newborn baby boy to Cornelia "His name is Hadrian, Hadrian Li Britannia. But we will call him Harry for short."

Cornelia smiled as she held her baby brother "Hi Harry."

Sirius smiled and decided to leave them alone, so he escorted the doctors out, only to bow deeply as he came face to face with Charles Zi Britannia "Is the child here yet?"

Sirius nodded "Yes your Highness, a boy."

Charles merely nodded "His name?"

"Hadrian, My Lord."

Charles simply nodded and then turned and left, not even bothering to go in and see his newborn son.

…

Hadrian 'Harry' Li Britannia gripped his hair in frustration before he pointed at his half-brother Lelouch "I want a rematch!"

Lelouch Vi Britannia just grinned at Harry "No way, there's just no challenge playing you."

Harry narrowed his eyes as he stared at Lelouch "You trying to say something smart ass."

Lelouch just grinned as he said "Yep, you suck."

Harry roared in mock frustration before he dived across the chess board and tackled his brother "I'll show you who sucks Lulu!"

As Harry and Lelouch wrestled around on the ground of to the side Nunnally Vi Britannia and Euphemia Li Britannia where giggling and whispering to each other as they watched their brothers roll around on the grass. On the far side of the garden Cornelia watched her younger siblings with a smile as she stood next to her idol Empress Consort Marianne Vi Britannia.

"They look so happy don't they Cornelia."

Cornelia smiled as she turned to Marianne "They do my lady."

Marianne smiled at her young protégé before she heard footsteps approaching and turned to see her most loyal guard Jeremiah Gottwald "You're late Jeremiah."

"My apologies my lady it won't happen again."

Marianne just shook her head with a smile "Always so serious Jeremiah" before turning to the still wrestling princes "Harry, Jeremiah is here for your lessons, and Lelouch, isn't it time for your studies."

Harry who was easily pinning lelouch to the ground grinned as he got of his brother and ran over to the smiling knight "Hello Prince Hadrian."

Harry smiled at his tutor "Can't you just call me Harry?"

Jeremiah shook his head "Such a thing would not be proper, but I suppose I can call you Prince Harry."

Harry just nodded with a mock serious look on his face "Then please do so Lord Gottwald."

Jeremiah smiled at the young prince before he gave a deep bow "If that is your command then who am I to disobey Prince Harry. Not we should get started on your lesson for today."

Marianne watched Harry go off with Jeremiah while Lelouch made his way to his room for his studies, hearing the sound of little feet behind her she turned with a smile to see Nunally and Euphemia "And what were you two whispering about?"

Nunally simply giggled and replied "Euphie is going to marry Lelouch!"

Euphie gasped in shock as she blushed and pointed at Nunally "Oh yeah well Nunally is going to marry Harry!"

Marianne giggled as she watched the two young girls blush "Well this is surprising news, both my children are getting married, I have to make preparations and set up a party to celebrate!"

"Momma!"

"Lady Marianne!"

Marianne just laughed at the look of embarrassment on the two girls faces before they ran inside the villa.

…

Harry sat at the desk in his room, Marianne had been kind enough to give both he and Euphie a place to stay when they came around. Which for Harry was often, he felt uncomfortable at his mother's villa, he often caught her staring at him at the look she would give him made him uncomfortable, like she wasn't seeing him but someone else.

"Harry are you in here?"

Harry put down his pen and moved to the door, standing on the other side was Nunally "Nunally, what's wrong?"

Nunally looked nervous as she said "The house is to quiet."

Straining his ears Harry noticed it to, the house was completely silent. Something was very wrong. He looked at Nunally's worried face and forced a smile as he held out his hand to her "I'm sure it's nothing to worry about, come on let's go find your mom."

Nunally nodded and took his hand and the two made their way through the villa, along the way Harry saw no sign of the servants or any of the guards assigned to the villa 'where the hell is everyone?'

"Hello? Is anyone there?"

"Harry? Where is everyone?"

Harry just shook his head as they reached the main stairs "I don't know. Marianne!"

Marianne turned with a look of shock on her face "Harry!? Nunally!?"

Nunally looked at her mother's face "Momma?" before the sound of a gunshot was heard and a window shattered, Nunally gasped as did Marianne as blood splashed across the Empress as Harry dropped to the ground before more gunshots pierced the air, Marianne covered Nunally as best she could.

Finally the gunshots stopped as Nunally lay their under her mother's unmoving form, she glanced to her left and saw Harry laying there, the first bullet had struck him in the forehead just above his right eye. Blood poured from the wound and his eyes where wide in shock but they didn't see anything.

That was the last thing Nunally would remember seeing.

…

"Is Harry going to be alright Uncle Sirius?"

Sirius Black put on a smile as he looked down at the young pink haired princess "Don't worry Euphie, Harry will be just fine."

As he led the young princess back to her room he thought back to the scene he found in the Aries Villa, the sight of Marianne's dead body protecting Nunally who had been shot in the leg and gone into shock, he remembered seeing his young prince laying there with a bullet in his head.

The young black haired prince's brain was heavily damaged and was in a coma, he was lucky to be alive. But that wasn't what had him worried.

…

Flashback

…

Sirius stepped into the private room where Harry was being held only to stop in shock "What the hell is going on here!?"

"Lord Black! We don't know what's happening!" The young lord of the Black family stared in shock and awe, all around the room things where floating, defying gravity, medical instruments, surgical tools, the numerous flowers sent by nobles, even the bed itself was floating two feet of the ground "It's been like this for almost an hour now, a nurse came in this morning to find the room like this, we don't know how but somehow the young prince is doing this!"

"Are you sure the Prince is doing this?"

The doctor nodded with a look of fear and awe on his face as a scalpel floated in front of his face, the man raised a shaking hand and carefully pushed the scalpel away from his face and watched as the scalpel floated away as though it was floating about in zero gravity "We don't know for sure, but scientists have theorised for years about the human mind being capable of things like telekinesis and telepathy if the human body was further along the evolutionary line but there was never any proof!"

Sirius looked at the floating bed with the young Prince still laying on it in a coma "So what? Are you saying the bullet wound did this?"

The doctor shook his head in frustration "Impossible to say for sure. We don't have any access to the young Prince's medical records."

Sirius looked at the doctor in shock "Why the hell not!"

"Empress Lilian forbid anyone except those she allowed to treat the young Prince, the only reason I'm here is because whoever the Empress usually lets oversee the young Prince isn't suited to dealing with an injury such as a bullet wound to the head."

Sirius clenched his fist in frustration 'Damnit Lily, what the hell have you done!?'

…

End Flashback

…

"Uncle Sirius?"

Sirius shook his head and looked down at Euphemia "Everything will by fine, you'll see."

Euphie shook her head with tears falling from her eyes "No it won't, Brother is in a coma, Lady Marianne is dead, and now so are Lelouch and Nunally!"

Sighing in frustration Sirius knelt down and pulled the crying girl into a comforting hug "I'm sorry Princess, I choose my words poorly, but Harry will be okay, it may take a bit of time, but I promise that he will be up and about soon."

Euphie nodded as she wiped the tears away "Okay."

Sirius smiled and patted her on the head "Okay, now it's getting late, you had best be getting to bed."

Euphie nodded with a sad smile on her face "Okay, goodnight Uncle Sirius."

"Goodnight Princess."

Lord Black watched her go into her room before his face hardened, he turned and quickly made his way through the villa and reached a large set of double doors which he opened without knocking, and seeing Lily sitting at her bedside table looking in the mirror Sirius shut the doors and turned to his Empress "Lily."

Lily turned and Sirius could see the dried tear tracks on her cheeks "Sirius, how is Harry?"

Sirius shook his head "To soon to say for certain, but that's not why I'm here. What the hell did you do to Harry?!"

Lily flinched at the harshness in his voice "What do you mean?"

Sirius shook his head as his face contorted in anger "Don't play games with me, private doctors, no one but said doctors allowed to see his medical charts, and now your son is lifting everything not nailed down in his room with his MIND! So I'll ask again. What. Did. You. Do?"
