AN: Welcome back to Embodiment of Magic. I'm very sorry guys about the lack of updates but I honestly have been very busy. Don't expect updates to often. This was the first time in a while that I have had time.
Harry watched as the strange man introduced himself and reached out to shake his hand. Harry reached out his own considerably smaller hand and shook. The moment his hand came into contact with Perseus' he felt a great pool of raw power.
Perseus released and ruffled Harry's hair. Harry's vision swam and became blurry. Quickly he removed his glasses and rubbed them. He was about to put them back on when he realized that he could now see clearly without them. Dumbfounded he watched as Perseus swept past into the entrance hall.
Once inside the entrance hall he quickly spotted Dumbledore and Argus Filch who was grumbling about having to come with Dumbledore. He was silenced by a look from Dumbledore who then left him to speak with some of the parents, who were old students of his.
Perseus approached Argus and said," It has been a while, hasn't it Grindelwald?" The now newly named Grindelwald turned around in shock. "Perseus!" He exclaimed. "What are you doing here?" "I came to right a wrong and to ask a favor." Perseus said quietly.
"I take it all of your magic is blocked by Dumbledore?" Perseus continued. "Yes, that bastard used a dark ritual to empty my core so that he could place permanent blocks." Grindelwald growled.
"I have an offer for you. I will release you from some of the blocks to allow a small amount of magic. In exchange you will teach Harry everything you know about magic." Perseus said.
Grindelwald contemplated this and eventually relented. Perseus bound Grindelwald to his word and released him from two of the blocks he had, which allowed his core to replenish itself and allow him access to part of his magic.
Once he had dealt with Grindelwald he moved to where Dumbledore, the Minister of Magic, and the rest of Potters were. The Potters seeing someone approaching shoved their son James Jr. in front of them awaiting the birthday wishes.
"Happy Birthday young one." Perseus said to little James Jr. He then greeted the rest, "Good evening Dumbledore, Potters, and Minister." "And who might you be?" Asked the Minister. "I am Perseus." Upon realizing just who he was the others bowed. "Lord Perseus, it is an Honor to meet you." They all said. "Yes, yes. Does young James Jr. not have a twin?" Perseus asked.
"Yes, he does. I don't see why that matters." Began the elder James before he was cut off by James Jr. "What is wrong with your face Mister." The others gasped at his question and began to apologize for what they considered an insult.
Perseus merely raised an eyebrow, "It seems he still has to learn manners. But as I said before where is the other twin?"
"He is greeting guests of course." Said Lily Potter. "And why would the birthday boy be doing that?" Asked Perseus.
"What other birthday boy?" Asked James and the Minister together.
Perseus glared at the two and said, "Are you so feeble minded that you do not realize that having a twin means that they share their birthday? Where is Harry? Why is he not with you being wished happy birthday or given presents?"
They began to bluster and spout random things until finally it was James Jr. who said, "It's obviously because I'm better."
This was the final straw for Perseus. He glared at them all and said, "I see. Your house has lost my favor and therefore you shall be evicted from the status of Most Ancient and Noble. For what your father's have worked to gain you have lost. Remember this Potter." With that he left them.
AN: Sorry for the short chapter but I really wanted to put something out. I would like to thank all those who have read this story reviewed and stayed with me. Thank you. And sorry I am a bit rusty in my writing. The idea of Argus Filch actually being Grindelwald has been in my mind for a very long time and I finally decided to use it. By the way if you have seen Dead Pool what did you think of it? I thought it was great! Always remember, if you find a story worth reading, Review!
