Protection – On The Way To Hogwarts
"I'll be fine Pa." Harry rolled his eyes fondly at his father Sirius Black who was making the teen double and triple check to make sure he had everything on platform 9 1/3, the scarlet Hogwarts Express waiting in the station behind them.
"Do you have the mirror?" Sirius asked once again.
"Yes, I know what it does and what to say to get it to work." Harry rattled off.
The remaining Weasley's had decided to come a bit before Harry, Sirius and Remus as not to arise suspicion. So when Harry Potter, Sirius Black and Remus Lupin had entered the platform all looking their best and cheerfully talking with each other it had almost muted the crowd.
Harry was wearing his tight black skinny jeans, blue high-tops and a sky blue V-neck t-shirt with a black leather jacket unzipped over it. He had shrunk his trunk down and placed it in his pocket, his wand still in his wand holster on his arm and let Hedwig and Fawkes fly on ahead to the castle. Thanks to the blood adoption his Potter hair was more manageable, it was also longer and had a silk like look to it. His cheekbones were more predominant, he had a tan and the once dark bags under his eyes were no more. Thanks to his new diet and training he was lean and up to a healthy size.
Sirius had his long black hair pulled back, half and half style. His skin had gone from a pasty white to a nice solid tan, his blue eyes were bright and sparkling once again; while he too was back to looking like a healthy man he once was. He looked 100% different from the man on the wanted posters when he escaped from Azkaban. He wore his trademark black leather pants and dragon hide boots. He had a black robe with the house of Black's icon embroidered on the left side of the robe and under the robe he wore a red dress shirt to show his Gryffindor pride.
Remus, thank to his blood brother ceremony with Sirius had changed his physical appearance as well. The scars he had gain over the years thanks to being a werewolf had faded very much and his facial features were similar to Sirius' now. His sandy hair was no longer streaked with grey and looked full of life, as did his eyes. Remus was wearing a tailored dark grey suit with a green tie with a black robe, as he couldn't shake the habit after being a professor, the suit tied in nicely with his tan that matched Harry and Sirius's.
The three together, thanks to the news and the rumors made quite a sight; the most impressive part of the three of them together was the pure power they were unconsciously radiating. Thanks to this, everyone gave them a wide berth while boarding the train.
"You have to let him go Padfoot." Remus said, putting a halt to Sirius's onslaught of questions.
"You know I'll be safe in Hogwarts." Harry added in, glancing at the twins who were boarding the train, the duo winked at him while snickering at his situation.
"Doesn't mean I have to like it. Can't we homeschool him Remmy?" Sirius turned his puppy dog eyes on his brother.
"The idea has merit." Remus said slowly, trying not to laugh at Harry's slightly horrified look. "But we couldn't keep him from his mates, that's just cruel."
"That and they would hunt us down and drag our prongslet away from us." Sirius muttered and Harry felt himself sag in relief.
"Pa, I have to go find someplace to sit." Harry gestured at the train behind him.
"Fine, fine. Keep in contact and remember what you've learn." Sirius squashed his son in another protective hug before he passed him to Moony.
"Bye Uncle Moony, keep Pa in line?" Harry asked his uncle.
"I'll do my best, we'll keep you updated." Remus promised before Harry waved sadly at his father and uncle before he boarded the Hogwarts Express.
The moment Harry stepped on the train a slight tingling went over his body and his Lordship ring.
"Now I need to find Neville or someone else who isn't a backstabbing traitor." Harry muttered to himself as he took a few a steps. Suddenly everything felt off as the train shifted around him and Harry found himself standing outside a compartment where he spotted Neville and a blonde haired girl sitting and talking quietly.
"I guess the Hogwarts Express is linked to Hogwarts herself." Harry surmised and he felt the train hum under his feet as he unlocked the sliding door to the compartment.
"Hi Neville… Do you mind if I sit in here with you two?" Harry asked smiling softly at Neville and the blonde girl who looked up at him when he opened the door.
"Harry! Of course we don't mind, do we Luna?" Neville jumped up from his seat in surprise.
"No, please join us Harry Potter." Luna smiled dreamily, her voice smooth.
"I'm at a disadvantage, you know my name but I do not know yours." Harry smiled charmingly at her as he sat beside Neville who was taking in his friend's new appearance.
"My name is Luna Lovegood, I'm in Ravenclaw." Luna smiled and Harry inclined his head slightly.
"It is nice to officially meet someone as beautiful as you." Harry said, his father had taught him in the art of charming the ladies, as apparently it is a much-needed skill. Luna just beamed at the compliment while Neville looked amused.
"We heard all about what happened with Ron, Hermione and Ginny. I'm sorry about that mate." Neville said after a few moments.
"How did you hear that?" Harry asked, genuinely surprised.
"My grandmother is in many circles and she told me." Neville said, his cheeks flushing red.
"No it's alright. I'm just glad you still like me Nev." Harry smiled at his friend who just blushed even more in response.
"Of course I like you! No offence but Ron is a prat and always has been." Neville said bluntly and Harry roared with laughter.
"Ah… Sorry about that, just I never thought I would hear you insult anyone!" Harry grinned wiping a tear from his eye.
"Shut it." Neville blushed, nudging Harry in the side.
"Not to offend you Harry, but you look much better than you have in the past." Luna spoke up after the train pulled out of the station and all three of them had waved the people on the platform off from their window.
"I've had the best summer of my life and so much has changed." Harry said honestly.
"Well you got a tan for one." Neville said, impressed he had no idea the pale skin boy even had it in him to tan.
"For one." Harry laughed. "I just did an inheritance test and had some blocks and potions removed, it made the world of difference. I was also blood adopted by my godfather and was taught by him and Professor Lupin. It's been bloody great." Harry gave an abridged version of events.
"That's great Harry, your aura feels much better than it had in the previous years." Luna observed and Harry gave her a small smile.
"But I also had to learn a lot about being a lord/heir and all the proper pureblood customs." Harry huffed remembering the hours that Sirius, Remus and Godric had drilled into him.
"A lord? A heir?" Neville looked at Harry wide-eyed.
"Yeah turns out I'm heir to the Black family and I'm Lord Potter." Harry decided to leave the other lordships out of it. "Isn't your family a Noble and Most Ancient House Nev?"
"Yeah… My grandmother took over in my parent's absence… She says I'm not ready." Neville said sadly.
"Nev… Are you being trained in the customs? Do you wear an heir ring?" Harry asked, his mind whirring.
"I'm trained in the customs but I don't have an heir ring…" Neville trailed off.
"I recall you saying something in first year about how you are using your fathers wand?" Harry's mind was putting the pieces together.
"Yeah, Gran said it would honor my father." Neville said, pulling out his wand.
"Neville… The wand chooses it's owner, not all wands are compatible with every wizard." Harry said and Luna hummed in agreement, knowing where Harry was going with this.
"If that's true…" Neville trailed off, eyes wide.
"Then that is a possible reason of why school work has been so hard for you in the past… Also you should get checked for blocks and potions as well." Harry said seriously, already making a mental list to tell Sirius and Remus about.
"I'll do that Harry." Neville nodded his head determined.
"If your Gran doesn't agree to take you to Diagon alley, I'm sure I can convince Pa to take us on a weekend, you can join us as well Luna." Harry smirked, his eyes glinting.
"That's very kind of you Harry." Luna smiled cheerfully.
"Uh-oh… It's Malfoy." Neville said as a warning as Malfoy, Crabbe and Goyle approached their compartment.
"Look who it is, Loony Luna, Potter and Longbottom." Malfoy sneered.
"Cousin Draco, have all your lessons fled from your mind?" Harry stood up and looked at Malfoy evenly, making sure to flash his lordship and heir rings at Malfoy.
"…Cousin Harry, my mistake." Malfoy slipped back into the lessons his mother had taught him since he was a small child.
"Heir Longbottom, Miss Lovegood." He bowed his head slightly to the others and they bowed their heads back.
"So what father says is true cousin…" Draco looked at Harry, taking in the Black features.
"It would appear so Draco, I wish to apologize for my error when we first met on the Hogwarts Express in our 1st year. I was raised by the worst kind of muggle's and let others words cloud my judgment. I wish to start again, Hello I'm Harry Potter-Black." He stuck his hand out.
"Draco Malfoy, good to meet you cousin." Draco accepted the hand after a minute of staring at the teen before him in confusion.
"I hope we can form our own opinions of each other cousin. If you haven't heard, I am no longer friend's with Ron, Hermione or Ginny. However I am friend's with the twins, Neville and Luna so if you or any other Slytherin's mess with them, I'm afraid I will have to react accordingly." Harry said casually, letting some of his power form an almost tangible aura around his body.
"I see, well then cousin I'll be sure to pass on the message." Draco nodded, taken back by the words and the power emitting from the black haired teen before him.
"If you would excuse me, I have a prefect meeting to get to."
"Good luck cousin." Harry nodded and Draco nodded back before he walked away with the other two boys following him at his heels.
"That was brilliant!" Neville exclaimed as Harry sat back down beside him.
"Thanks, you just have to know how to talk to the pureblood types." Harry shrugged his shoulders.
The trio spent the almost the rest of the ride playing exploding snap, pigging out on trolley snacks and talking about different things they learnt that summer. By the end Harry and Neville could understand what Luna was talking about between all her talk of nargles, etc.
Near the end of the ride, Ron and Hermione waltzed by their compartment. They both had shiny prefect badges on and shot Harry glares full of hatred.
"Sheesh." Harry rolled his eyes as they disappeared from view. "I have a feeling sleeping arrangements are going to suck this year."
"It will all depend on Dean and Seamus I suppose." Neville added in before their compartment door slid open to reveal the twins and Lee Jordan.
"Hi babe." The twins chorused as they both pecked Harry's cheeks.
"Hey yourselves." Harry beamed as Neville moved to sit beside Luna and Lee took the empty seat on the other side of Luna as the twins settled down on either side of Harry.
"I think you forgot to mention something rather important Harry." Neville said with raised eyebrows.
"Whoops, so one the things that was blocked on me was a soul-mate bond and guess who my soul-mates are?" Harry asked cheekily.
"As long as they make you happy." Neville rolled his eyes and the twins grinned.
"So have we decided what the new generation of Marauders are going to be doing at the opening feast?" George asked excitedly.
"Marauders?" Neville and Lee asked curiously.
After glancing at his twins, Harry gave them the explanation and they were all very excited and wanted to be apart of it.
"Okay we need to get you three some names then, mine is Shadow." Harry said his mind whirring.
"I'm Flame." Fred said.
"I'm Blaze." George grinned.
"I would like to be Crystal." Luna said happily.
"Sounds perfect for you Luna." Harry smiled.
"I'll be Inferno to match Fred and George." Lee said causing the twins high fived him.
"How about Venom?" Neville asked shyly.
"Perfect for you Nev!" Harry smiled as Neville beamed. They spent the rest of the ride talking about the opening feast prank. It was the perfect way to introduce their names and re-introduce the Marauders to Hogwarts.

"I've been meaning to ask Padfoot… What you told Harry when we brought up the blood adoption, was that true?" Remus asked, peering over his cup of chocolate flavored coffee at his official blood brother as the two sat in plushy oversized chairs in a small muggle café.
"About wanting to steal him away from Hogwarts?" Sirius asked looking up from his own coffee.
"Yes." Remus sipped his drink.
"I was seriously considering it…" Sirius trailed off before he recounted the event to his brother.
~Flashback~
Sirius Black snuck through the halls of Hogwarts, just like he had all those years ago. He never forgot the hallways and all the secret entrances, he knew that the traitor was in Gryffindor tower and thanks to the sheet of passwords Crookshanks stole for him, getting in would be much easer than it had been with the Fat Lady. He felt a stab of regret about that, he should have kept his head but he needed to get that rat before it was too late.
He approached the new portrait and before Sir Cadogan could say a word.
"Survy Cur." Sirius rasped out, the knight huffed annoyed that he didn't get to challenge the man to a duel; he let the door swing open and Sirius climbed in.
Seeing the same common room as all those years ago nearly made Sirius double over as memories flashed in his mind.
"Harry, I have to get rid of Wormtail to save Harry and to avenge Prongs and Tiger Lily." He muttered quietly to himself as he slowly crept up the stairs to the room housing the third year boys.
The moment he opened the door he was hit with the loudest snoring he had ever heard. Sirius couldn't help but feel bad for the other four in the room. He glanced at each bed in turn looking for the red head that had Wormtail with him from the Daily Prophet.
When his dull blue eyes landed on the second last bed Sirius could feel every part of his body freeze. All he could do is stare down at the small black haired boy fast asleep in his bed.
Harry, it was Harry, it was his godson! His brain was filled with this one thought, sure he had gotten a glance at Harry before he summoned the Knight Bus but now Harry was RIGHT there.
God he looked just like James, but he knew his best friend was dead and this was his godson. HIS godson. The one he had failed to protect when he went after the traitor.
He had to make Harry understand he was innocent. He had to!
Sirius reached out, his hand trembling and he slowly stroked Harry's pale cheek. The pre-teen shifted only slightly before letting out a sigh of contentment as he slept on like his body remembered his touch.
Pettigrew was in the castle; he had been by Harry for all these years. Sirius couldn't let that rat be around HIS godson any longer than that. He wouldn't stand for it.
He could take Harry away, far away. It would just be the two of them. No one would find them. They would never find them; it would just be the two of them. Harry would be happy and Sirius would have Harry. No one could hurt them again and no more fighting.
Moony! Oh Moony, once Sirius had Harry settled he would come back for Moony; the three of them could finally be a family. No more stupid werewolf laws, the three of them would be together forever with no one interfering.
Sirius had just about made up his mind and started to reach for Harry to whisk him away when a loud, familiar squeak broke him out of his train of thought. He turned around to see Wormtail adjusting himself on the pillow beside the red head that was his 'owner'.
From then on all thoughts of taking Harry away were gone from his mind and all he could focus on was killing that rat. Sirius gently tucked his godson in, brushing his black bangs out of his eyes before he drew his knife and moved towards the traitor.
~End Flashback~
"And we all know what happens next." Sirius said calmly, finishing his drink.
"You are insane." Remus said, his eyes wide.
"I'll admit it was a little crazy at the time, but hey it all worked out didn't it?" Sirius barked out a laugh as Remus shook his head in amazement.
"A little crazy?" Remus said softly.
"Like you didn't try to kidnap Harry at any point in your life." Sirius scoffed.
"I was close at many points." Remus admitted.
"I hate that I was so blindly loyal to Dumbledore back then. I should have found Harry and taken him away from those damn Dursley when he was a child." Moony growled annoyed with the old man and himself.
"That was the work of the potions Remmy, besides you're suppose to be the sane one in this relationship." Sirius kicked his brother's shin.
"I did come close during one of my talks with Harry… To tell him everything and take him away I mean… Hexing everyone who dared to get in my way." Remus said slowly. "So I guess I'm not as sane as you think I am."
"Still saner than me." Sirius grinned.
"That's not saying much." Remus teased.
