March 17, 2022 I started this fan fiction and for a year you all have helped it grow and grow. Now it's present not only on here but also present on both Quotev and Archive of Our Own. I considered putting it on Wattpad but as of this moment have decided against it but over this year this has grown in a way I never would have thought it would be. In the first month we had 1,936 views. Today that is 79,562 views. Thank you all for your love and critics. For the 465 followers, the 289 favorites, 71 reviews, and for this officially being part of the Honks Archive community. We were added to the community six months after we started this journey and I am honored to be here. Thank you all for this journey and I'd like to state chapter thirty is my planned finale. Afterward I'll be doing a fanfic i have dubbed. The Potters. This story shall be a a what if James Potter survived that fateful night and in doing so we will see how not only Harry's life will be different but also those of every one around him. Once again Thank you and let us continue.

As they stood on the platform nine and three quarters Harry began to have a realization. This year compared to all others he was getting on the train with something he always saw his friends having. A Family goodbye. In short time, Tonks and himself had grown to see the other side of Bellatrix and in a way Narcissa though it was only for two days. She showed him the differing opinions and why they were so controversial for both sides of the "Blood Line" as she called it.

To say the least. Purebloods were terrified. Narcissa showed me how only about one quarter of Hogwarts students were in fact pureblooded. Another quarter was halfbloods and the remaining majority were in fact muggleborns. This was what caused purebloods to try and retrain so much power by putting sanctions and limitations on those of differing blood types. Even Lucius stated that it was a way to make sure that Purebloods still kept their say. It was Narcissa though that said something that truly rocked Harry's world of politics.

"You, Harry, are Half Blooded. That means you have to be more Pure than the Purebloods and more Muggle than the Muggleborns. It's going to be exhausting." Harry had asked what she meant and it was as simple as this. Harry was still of a "lower blood" so he had to prove he could be in the interests of Purebloods and be able to act like one, which he began to assume that's how Tom Riddle truly gained his following, and yet because he was still of a "higher blood" Muggleborns could very easy see him as someone that didn't earn or work his way to his goals and achievements down the road saying that it was all due to his blood."

In other words. Harry was in the muggle expression. The odd one out. And thus in the day and a half Narcissa had with him he began to study the ways of being a pureblood...which even Lucius made an effort in showing...and more surprisingly Malf-Draco. Draco had been at first hesitant to provide aid to Harry but Harry assumed thanks to saving his family and offering them asylum that Draco was trying to make them even. And a few times Draco did crack his grimace and showed a very brief smile.

Lucius was even "kind enough" meaning Narcissa made him, told Harry about the Wizengamot too. And with Harry holding two names and seats than in his own ability held good power. Harry then proceeded to make Narcissa his proxy. It was originally suggested by Tonks to be her father but Narcissa made it perfectly clear that the Wizengamot would not accept a muggleborn and would go against most of the things he put forward even if it was under the word of Harry Potter-Black. With this realization Harry proceeded to name Narcissa the proxy especially since he could see how much she was really aiming to keep the Black name in a good footing since after all it was her family's house. Harry warned her however he was going to order transcripts of each meeting so he could see what was going on and making sure she was not over stepping her boundaries. This...actually earned her respect. It was as she, Bellatrix, Lucius, and even Draco, said "a slytherin move".

Then there was the time with Bellatrix...er Trixie as she had been asking to name herself as if her first half of her name was traumatizing...which after speaking with Narcissa it became clear why. Bella was the nickname she used before...and was the one Voldemort used most often when having his "pet" there. It seemed that the tenderness and care of Harry for her child was helping heal her. Not to mention bonding over the shared loss of Sirius. Yes, shared now that she could be herself clearly. As they continued on through the days Harry was clearly going to be a good father one day and Trixie thought for a moment of what to name Harry for her child until the morning before Harry went off she had entered his room.

"Harry?" Trixie asked as she was at his door and slowly approached the bed holding herself.

"Oh hey, hold up." He closed his trunk and rushed up to help her to the bed.

"Thank you Harry, But I actually came to speak to you about something in particular." She admitted and sat down beside him and took his hands. "Harry...you've done so much for me and my child...and...I actually feel I can be the mother this child deserves...When I first got here I could only see her as his spawn...but with Andi and you talking to me it's...well it's been helpful. Which is why I want you to be her adoptive father."

That made Harry freeze for a good moment.

"Adoptive father?" He asked in confusion. "Not God Father?" Trixie quickly shook her head to his question. "Why do you want me to be that?"

"She isn't going to have a good life if Voldemort is the name of her father no matter how it's seen in public." Harry nodded getting that but was stopped from asking more. "However, you Harry have proven a lot of yourself in your life and i feel that she will benefit as being your daughter in so many ways."

"If I'm her adoptive father do I have to marry you?" Harry asked to her shaking her head.

"No. I will have the paperwork there for you to adopt her right after her birth. It will legally change her name as will to your own but at the same time I've left clauses in to make sure i am not left out of her life. We have final say equally and must speak to each other as if we were truly one set of parents with her." Trixie explained. "Besides." She placed Harry's hand on her belly instantly feeling the baby kick. "She already likes you more than anyone here." She teased making Harry laugh.

"Alright...I'll do it."

He had agreed and now as he's saying goodbye to her and Tonks' parents he could only now realize that he had that one thing he always wanted. A family. He felt a nudge as he stared at the bunch and turned wrapping his arm around the figure who nudged him.

"Wotcher Harry?" Tonks asked laying her head on his shoulder.

"I'm okay just...enjoying a moment with my family." Harry smiled and pecked her lips softly as they said their final good byes and loaded up onto the train. and to a cabin where him and Draco split off. "Hey Draco...will you um..."

"Keep a ear out for you?" Draco turned his head slightly but didn't face him. "Yeah...I owe you at least that Pot...Harry." And thus he continued his way to see if he had any friends left in slytherin.

Harry nodded softly and gave a small smile before letting Tonks go in first and put his trunk in the loft. He turned and looked out in the corridor for a moment up and down.

"Harry what are you looking for?" Tonks looked confused as she took a seat and put her feet up on the side.

"I'm looking for Ron and Hermi-NE!" Harry grunted as he was tackled by a bushy missile.

"YOU PRAT!" The Bushy Missile proceeded to hit Harry who gave a mock "ow" in responce. "Do you know how worried I've been of you?! Why haven't you sent me a letter since last month?!"

"Easy Hermione, let the bloke sit and explain...Hey Harry." He looked up seeing Ron behind the bushy missile named Hermione. Harry chuckled and hugged her and him both.

"Hey Guys...I know I was a bit lax on the whole letters but there's a good reason for that." He explained. "And we got a lot to go over so I recommend we take a seat and..." He looked at Tonks. "Hey where am I suppose to sit?"

"The ground?" Tonks suggest teasingly which caused Harry to roll his eyes. He waltz over and lifted her up before sitting down and placing her on his lap letting her put her feet back up.

"Better?"

"Better." She responded and snuggled in to get comfy while Harry looked up seeing the low hanging mouths of Ron and Hermione.

"Oh right,...I did say there was a lot to explain." He gestured to the seat across from them as the two sat down. And so over a long ride he began to tell the tales of their journey. From the feelings that grew with Tonks to the training, to finding out about the horcruxes to the past two days with the Malfoys.

"And now we have to find three more parts of him. We don't really have a good idea what they could be but I have a feeling and so does Trixie that Nagini is one. That'll never leave his side. and thus there must be two left. We assume they might be tied to the House founders with the Cup of Hufflepuff but we can't be sure. Were there any items?" Harry looked at Hermione who nodded.

"Yes." She reached up into her bag and pulled out a book and flipped the pages showing it to everyone. "It was the Sword of Gryffindor, the Cup of Hufflepuff, and the other two were the Diadem of Ravenclaw-"

"Diadem?" Harry asked.

"A crown of sorts Harry." Ron explained before Hermione getting a surprised look. "What?"

"I just didn't think you'd know that." She admitted.

"Well in between sleep you do gain some knowledge in Professor Binns' class." He said proudly. "Plus I may have glanced through the book. Can't really keep up on classes if I don't look." He pointed out to them.

"Okay...what else Hermione?"

"Finally there was the Locket of Slytherin." She showed them it and Tonks rubbed her head. "I feel like I've seen it before..." She looked at it more in depth before her eyes went wide. "Harry call Kreacher!" She jumped up and looked at him.

"What why?"

"Because the last time I saw it was when I was helping you kids clean the house and he snatched it out of my hand running off."

"But why would it be in Grimmauld Place?" Harry asked her.

"I don't know but maybe he'll know why. Now. Call. The. Elf." She glared and Harry shuffled a bit.

"Don't give me that look love...can never argue with that." he mumbled that last bit before clearing his throat. "Kreacher!"
