Finally an update! Enjoy!
( I am reposting since there was a huge problem with the format, hopefully its now fixed)
Chapter 11
Going to the wizarding playground was definitely a great idea, family time together was something the three of them needed.
"Hello, are those two yours?"
Andromeda turned to look at the person who asked the question and smiled. "You could say that. The little one is my grandson and with him is his godfather."
The woman was tall, tan with black hair and had some cat-like features. "They look so cute together, I have to admit I was surprised to see them. Kitsunes and metamorphs are extremely rare. Oh, how rude of me I haven't even introduce myself, I am Reia and my son Eliel is currently playing with your boys."
Indeed a little boy of not more than four years was playing in the sand with Harry and Teddy. He like his mother had the cat-like features that show they were Nekos with lighter skin and auburn hair. He and Teddy seemed to be getting along rather well.
"Nice to meet you, I am Andromeda. Do you and your son come her often?"
"Yes, I bring him at least once a week. I want him to make friends outside of the family but he usually doesn't get along well with others. So I was wondering if you and your boys would like to make play dates with us, I know the little ones would benefit greatly from it."
Andromeda thought it over and while she knew it wasn't a practical plan for Harry since he would start school soon, it was something she and Teddy would enjoy if his constantly changing bright hair was any indication to his current mood. "Teddy and I would love to and Harry may even join us from time to time. He starts senior year soon."
"He is a senior? He looks so young. We can exchange contact information while they play." While the two made future plans the little ones and Harry continued to play.
"Hey boys what do you want to do next?"
"Swings!" Screamed Teddy while Eliel just smiled and nodded away. Eliel was a quiet boy but he got on very well with the more energetic Teddy.
"Ok, let's go." After securing both boys in the kiddie swings he started pushing them much to their delight. Andromeda and Reia looked at them with indulgent smiles. Their shrieks of delight and the big smile in Harry's face told Andromeda this had been a great idea and something that needed to be repeated.

"Guys this place is great." Harry said with a big smile.
Bobby smiled at him "Yea we always come here when we can. The people here don't care we are different and it's fun to just let go once in a while."
"Well I like the food." Warren added
Marie just rolled her eyes. "Well I am going to play at the pool table, you want to join?"
"I don't know how to play." Harry said sheepishly.
"Oh we can't have that, come we will teach you." They had been playing for a while and just having a good time when Logan and Remy made an appearance.
"Hello kiddies!"
"Remy! Logan!, about time you got here." Kitty said with a grin.
Marie then asked "You two going to play?"
"Yea me and Logan will play against the winners of this game." While he spoke Logan made his way towards Harry.
"Hello Kitten." That voice so close to Harry's ear made him shiver.
"Hi"
"Have you been having fun?"
"Yea the guys taught me how to play pool. I am not very good at it but it's fun."
"You might want to watch the next game you can learn from Gambit and me." Logan had a superior smirk on his face as he said this.
Just then Marie chose to interrupt "Come on Logan it's you and Remy against me and Kitty." As the game started Harry sat down to watch the game. Well if he was being truthful he was mostly watching Logan in all his manly glory while munching on some fries. Meanwhile Bobby and Warren had begun a darts competition with some of the kids from the institute while Kurt sat beside him watching the game.
Kurt broke the silence between them first "Harry how was your day with Teddy?"
Harry got a beautiful smile on his face. "It was great he looked so happy and even made a new friend. I think they will have frequent playdates from now on, it looked like his mom and Andromeda are planning for it."
"That's great, he is such a bright kid and making friends will be good for him."
"Yea, I want him to enjoy his childhood to the fullest."
"You and Andromeda are doing a great job of it." Kurt said with a smile and they fell into a comfortable silence. Harry turned to look at the game and just let himself enjoy his time with his newest friends and Logan.

"Harry! Harry!" he could hear the voices calling him but could not for the life of him pinpoint the source. He was still disoriented from having been abruptly woken up. As he looked around he found the mirror connected to the one the twins had and knew it was the two menaces calling.
Picking it up he said "Guys you know its four in the morning here?"
The twins looked a little sheepish at that. "We kind of forgot about the time difference. But this is important."
It spoke to the seriousness of the situation the fact that the twins had abandoned their twin speech. "Since Minister Kingsley Shacklebolt took over the office he had been fighting the Wizengamot to create more equality laws for creatures and fighting of their efforts to have you become the Ministry poster boy whether you like it or not."
"Well apparently they managed to go over him and are in the process of passing the Hero Protection Act, which is actually a bill that would let them pretty much run your life to fit their own agendas. While Kingsley is not able to stop it he was able to buy you some time, so you have three days before the law passes." Both twins looked extremely worried for their little brother, the new law would let the Wizengamot choose where Harry lived in, where he worked and even who he would marry.
Harry let out a sigh and shook his head "Don't worry guys. I had hoped I would not need it but I already filled out all the magical and muggle documents to give up my English citizenship they just need my signature to become legally and magically binding. Once I do that they will be filled automatically with the International Confederation of Wizards, each of the countries I have a citizenship in and the Ministry of Magic back home. If they ignore the papers and try to force me into anything they will cause an international incident of the likes they don't want to deal with." While he said that he went to look for the papers to sign them immediately.
"That's our little bro!" the twins said enthusiastically. "How many citizenships do you have now?"
"Well besides my Irish, Canadian and American citizenship I also finished the process on others I had pending. So now I have a Spanish, Greek, Japanese and Italian citizenship. Besides that I also had all my main vaults transferred here by the Goblins and made sure I can access them from any place in the world. According to the goblins after some countries got wind to the fact that I was acquiring new citizenships they also made offers and the goblins are dealing with the paperwork for me. Apparently being a war hero and the heir to two of the richest families in the Wizarding world make me a very desirable asset and they are all willing to give me asylum if I need it. Apparently the British Wizarding world has no friends in the international scene after their many blunders."
"You just took a big load of our shoulders."
"Even if they tried they can't touch me now." And with that Harry put his signature in the official papers and they disappeared in a flash of light, he knew the original copy would be put with the rest of his official documents in Gringotts.
"Well now that"
"that is taken care off"
"we will let you sleep
" "little bro"
"Bye"
Harry just threw himself at his bed, he had gone to sleep late and was extremely tired. He would have to tell Andromeda what was going on in case the British tried anything.
