Present
Harry made his way down Diagon Alley towards Gringotts Bank. Bellatrix rested on his shoulder in the form of black raven. It had been three day's since their return to the present, and they had decided that it was time to start getting to work.
Harry picked up a paper as he walked. He scowled at the headline. IS POTTER DELUSINAL?
"Idiots," Harry muttered under his breath as he read the article. Bellatrix nudged him. He smiled as he reached up and ran a finger over her back. "You're right of course. I'll see what Gringotts can do to stop it."
Harry threw the paper away and continued on to the bank.
Gringotts was busy when he stepped into the lobby. Rather then step into a line for a teller, Harry stepped up to the only goblin with no line, the floor manager.
The goblin sneered down at him. "What do you want wizard?"
Harry glared at the goblin before speaking in perfect gobbdegook. "I am here to see your director and king," he said in a dangerous voice that would terrify most wizards.
Although surprised that the man in front of him could speak his people's language, the manager wondered who the hell this man was to make such an outrageous demand. "Do you have an appointment Mr...?"
Harry smirked at the goblin as he reached over the counter, grabbing the goblin by the scruff of his shirt and pulling him across the counter, drawing the attention of the others in the bank, including the guards.
"WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?" the manager demanded. Only to stare at the mans hand in shock when he realized what was on the ring finger of the hand holding him.
"I am Lord Arawn Le Fey, blood adopted son of Morgan Le Fey, Husband to Morrigan Le Fey, and the one wizard you do not want pissed of at the goblin nation," Harry said softly. In the silence of the stunned bank, his voice carried to every goblin in the lobby, who all looked upon the man in fear. While none of the goblins living had been alive during the time Morgan, Arawn, and Morrigan Le Fey, the stories of their abilities and exploits were accurately recorded by the goblins, and taught to every generation in preparation for the return of Morgan's apprentices and children. These tales had never been told to outsiders. The goblin manager knew, as all goblins did, that it was impossible to forge the crest of the Le Fey family, or wear the emblem without permission from the family and survive, and his keen goblin eyes could tell that this was the true crest of the Le Fey.
The goblin was truly afraid for his life at this moment in time, as was every goblin present in the lobby who had heard the exchange between the wizard and their manager.
"Now," Harry continued, "My wife and I would like to see your director and king."
"W...Wife?"
Bellatrix pecked the goblin's cheek, drawing his attention to her, as the goblin himself paled at the realization that the bird wasn't a pet.
"I...I'll t...t..take you to him," The manager gulped.
Harry released the goblin. "Good," he said returning to the English tongue. "After you," he gestured to the hallway behind the counter.
The goblin led the two past several confused goblins, they hadn't been in the lobby and hence had no idea why the human was being led into the heart of their bank.
They were finally stopped by four armed guards standing outside a set of golden doors.
"Why is this human here Snarlhook?" one guard said obviously disgusted.
The manager, Snarlhook, paled, knowing that the man, and probably the raven, he was leading could understand their language. He was about to respond when Harry answered before him.
"We are here to see your director and king goblin," he said, shocking the guards. "And as I told your associate here, I am Lord Arawn Le Fey."
At this time Bellatrix jumped off of Harry's shoulder and changed back to her normal human form in the process. "And I am Lady Morrigan Le Fey."
The guards paled. They may not have seen Harry's ring, but their was no way to miss the choker around Bellatrix's neck. One of the guards, whose hobby was studying goblin history, actually feinted.
"Just...Just let us announce first?" one guard asked.
Harry nodded to the goblin, who promptly vanished behind the golden doors. Only to reappear in a matter of moments.
"King Dreadclaw will see you now."

Later that day.
"I hate this!" Bellatrix declared loudly as she walked away from Gringotts bank, Harry perched on her shoulder as a raven, like she had been earlier. "This is the third time! Once when Mother brought us back in time, when I healed myself after the training exercise with the griffon, and again now!"
Harry chuckled, drawing Bellatrix's glare. "Laugh it up some more why don't you, unless of course you want sex sometime this century."
The raven suddenly fell silent, and appeared to be brooding.
Bellatrix sighed as she made her way towards the post office, she had just seen her reflection in a mirror. She didn't mind being in her fifteen-year old body again, but she had done the same thing than Morgan Le Fey had done shortly after her and Harry had been pulled back in time, of course Morgan had done on purpose. De-aging and healing herself required more concentration than it took Harry. Where he only had to worry about when to stop the process (unless he wanted to keep a scar like he had the one that had been over his eye), she had to worry about that, plus accidentally healing her hymen, which she had just done in the bank.
After posting the letter written by Harry, Bellatrix made her way to the leaky cauldron to wait for an answer. In the area behind the pub, after the entrance had closed and she and Harry had checked for others, Harry returned to his fifteen-year old human form. He frowned as he re-adjusted the fake glasses on his nose. "This going to take some getting used to again," he mumbled, since he hadn't worn glasses in thirty years. He also had a new lightning bolt scar on his forehead, identical to the old one, cutesy of his wife. "And did you have to enjoy carving my head so much?"
Bellatrix smirked. "Well if you hadn't made that joke about popping my cherry again, I would of cast a numbing charm before hand. And if you ever make a joke like that again, I'll crucio you until I'm satisfied." She crossed her arms. "now it's time to play with the latest incarnation of the order." And she changed back into a raven before perching on Harry's shoulder.
Harry smiled as he reminded her, "Only this time we're not fighting against them."
Harry walked into the pub to await a response.

Sirius was in the master bedroom of Number 12 Grimmauld Place with Buckbeak and Hedwig, who had come to him a couple of hours after Harry had disappeared. He'd become more depressed than usual since Harry's disappearance a month ago. Not even Remus had been able to cheer him up. Of course the werewolf, Hermione, and Weasleys hadn't been much better.
He was pulled form his musing as Remus opened the door to the room. "Molly said dinner would be ready in a few minutes."
Sirius stood up and joined the werewolf as they made their way down to dinner.
The Weasleys and Hermione, who were living at Grimmauld place with Sirius and Remus, were already waiting around the table, along with Tonks, Sirius' second cousin, who had taken to visiting as often as she could.
The group was about to dig into Molly's excellent cooking when a brown barn owl swooped into the kitchen with a letter attached to it's leg and landed in front of Sirius.
Sirius took the letter addressed to him and opened it.
Dear Sirius,
First I apologize for any worry I may have caused you when I disappeared thirty-three days ago, I assure you that it was not my intention to disappear, and that I am well. I'm going to take this moment to say that I know where you are, I just can't enter due to the fidelus around the building. To prove it to you, I will give you the most specific answer I can. You are between numbers thirteen and eleven Grimmauld Place. I also know that this place is the HQ of the Order of the Phoenix, which means that you can, hopefully, send someone to pick me up at the leaky cauldron. I know you have a lot of questions, and I will answer what I can when I see you.
Harry
P.S. Say to to everyone for me.
A smile spread across his face. "It's from Harry!" he said excitedly, drawing everyone's attention. Then he frowned as he realized what harry was saying. How the hell did his godson know where his home was? Or what the Order was? He handed the letter to Remus, who, like Sirius, smiled then frowned as he read the letter.
Remus stood from the table, as he handed the letter back to Sirius. "I'll floo Dumbledore. He'll probably call an emergency meeting before we're sent to get Harry."

Harry waited in a corner of the pub, nursing a butterbeer. He missed the stuff, as it hadn't been invented in Morgan's lifetime and neither he nor Bellatrix knew how to make it. He'd prefer wine, but Tom wouldn't sell him any. He had poured some into a bowl, which Bellatrix was drinking out of in her raven form.
He smiled as three people stepped into the pub, he recognized one of them as Remus and another as Moody. He smiled when Remus spotted him and began to lead the others over. Bellatrix, also noticing them, flew up unto Harry's shoulder.
"Harry?" Remus greeted cautiously.
Harry smiled, "Who were you expecting?"
Remus was about to say something when Moody interrupted him. "Hold it Remus, how do we know he's who he says he is? He could be polyjuiced."
Remus raised an eyebrow but turned back to Harry. "What did you stop Padfoot and I from doing in the Shrieking Shack?"
Harry scowled. "I stopped you from killing the traitorous bastard Wormtail."
Remus turned to Moody and nodded. "That's him."
"I don't suppose anyone picked my belongings up from my aunt and uncles?" Harry asked. "Or knows where Hedwig is?"
"Hedwig and your trunk and other belonging are all at Padfoot's," Remus answered. "Do you have anything you need to grab here?"
"No. Everything I need I have." Harry looked at the pink-haired girl with them. "May I ask who the pink-haired girl is?"
The girl held out her hand. "Tonks."
Harry smiled as he shook her hand. "So you're Nymphadora then?"
Her eyes widened as her her hair turned red. "Don't call me that!" she demanded. "Wait a minute, how do you know my name?"
Harry chuckled. "Ask me again when we get to where we're going." he looked at Remus and Moody, "We are going where I expect, aren't we?"
Remus nodded.
Harry stood up from his seat. "Then shall we?" he asked, gesturing towards the door.

Bellatrix inwardly smiled, from her perch on Harry's shoulder, she was able to read the note Moody had shown Harry. The best part was that, since the fidelus didn't work on real animals, no one one would think twice about her until she revealed herself.
As soon as Harry stepped through the door of Number 12, he was pulled into a hug by his godfather. "Thank Merlin your okay," Sirius said before pushing Harry to arms length and looking him in the eye. "Now where the hell have you been?"
Harry smirked and was about to respond when someone else spoke.
"I would like to know that as well Harry?" Albus Dumbledore said from the doorway to the kitchen, flanked by several others, including Minerva McGonagall, Severus Snape, and Arthur and Molly Weasley. "Why don't you and the others join us in the kitchen."
Harry shrugged. "Sure. But first there's something I have to do."
"What?" Sirius asked.
Harry smirked. "You're welcome to follow me if you'd like to know." He picked Bella carefully up off of his shoulder. "Lead the way Morrigan."
Bellatrix jumped up and spread her wings, before flying through the hallway and up the stairs. Harry followed her, while the entire Order followed him.
To the Order's surprise, Harry and the raven entered the tapestry room, where the family tree surrounded them on all for walls.
Harry looked at the raven and spoke, "Can I do this or do you have too?"
The order was shocked when the raven turned into a young woman. "I'm afraid I have to," she spoke.
Unfortunately, while Bellatrix may have been in her fifteen-year old body, but five people, not including Harry, in the room were able to recognize her at that age.
At once, Sirius, Remus, McGonagall, Snape, and Dumbledore pulled their wands and shouted, "Bellatrix!"
