Fashback

"Its done" said Harry as he looked at 15 people who were stunned and bounded with enchanted rope.

"It is!" agreed Hermione as she looked at the last remnants of Voldemorts Death Eaters. "With this the war is finally over!"

"I am afraid that isn't the case Hermione" said a voice behind them and the 2 of them turned around to see their best friend Ron who paused for a moment before continuing "I am afraid that the war has only just begun."

Before Harry or Hermione could open their mouths to reply they fell forward bound in what was undoubtedly the body-blind-curse, as their best friend continued to speak "When you go back tell them that the Order of Darkness has emerged, and shall return to restore the wizarding world to its former glory."

"Weasley" an old raspy voice which neither Harry nor Hermione recognized said "One person is enough to deliver our message… dispose of the other!"

"Very well" replied Ron who pointed his wand at Hermione and said "Goodbye my love!"

Harry then saw the red light off a stunner hitting him and he was out cold. His next memory was being revived by a junior auror who, from what he could make out, had arrived with a task force. His eyes looked around trying to identify the leader of the task force when they fell on a single white sheet covering a body.

"No" said Harry as he quickly darted forward. He would not believe it, he could not believe it. Ron couldn't… He wouldn't…

Harry cry of desperation filled the air as his worst fear had come through as he looked at the pale corpse of his best friend, Hermione Weasley.

Flashback end…


Harry jerked up in his bed and sat up looking at the mirror that was placed opposite to his bed. He wasn't a 37 year old war veteran as that nightmare had portrayed, he was simply a 14 year old boy. That was nothing but a dream.

"No, not a dream," said a little voice in his head "A memory!"

He remembered waited for a moment to gather his thoughts, he was a 37 year old war veteran who had been given a second chance at life and had been returned to his 13 year old body, and using his knowledge of the past he managed to repair a friendship and make a whole lot more, he managed to save his godfather from a fate worse than death and prove to the wizarding world that he was innocent, gone back to the Dursleys where he would live until the day off his birthday (in order to appease Dumbledore) before leaving for Number 12 Grimmuald place the next day, it had been 3 weeks since then. He knew that Sirius would be back today and he just hoped that things had gone as he had planned.

CRACK

"Master" said Dobby who had just appeared "Master Sirius has arrived back and is calling for you!"

Harry took the time to look at the House elf and smile, Dobby was dressed in a Snowy white towel which he had personally stitched from unicorn hair, which thanks to its healing properties, ensured that every sign that showed that he had been mistreated had disappeared.

"Tell him to meet me in the kitchen" said Harry, "Also, please ask Kreacher to prepare some breakfast for us!"

Dobby nodded and with a loud CRACK popped (as Harry liked to call it) away. Harry thoughts turned to the old house-elf Kreacher, for it seemed that even time itself could not break a bond a house elf has for its master as the old elf managed to follow Harry back to the past. He had asked Sirius not to free the old elf though he himself had to give the elf clothes because he was, at that moment bound to 2 families. Still, this time he had given Kreacher the opportunity to do what Ron had done in his past life, destroy the locket.

Harry walked down marveling at the changes that were apparent in this house that weren't when he had first come here during his first life and stayed here after the second war with Voldemort. The wooden floor gleamed, the rotting wall papers had been replaced with brand new ones made from black and gold, every inch of broken furniture had been repaired and all the black family heirlooms (most of which Mundungus had stolen and sold in the future that would not occur) were proudly polished and displayed. The black family crest itself had been changed, instead of black outlined with silver as it had been, it was now black outlined with gold and its motto now read 'Toujours Pur De Coeur'

"You never did tell me how you got the Goblins to agree to that request!" said a voice from behind him.

Harry immediately turned around and embraced the owner of that voice… his godfather Sirius Black… who smiled, savored the embrace, then pushed him back enough to give his godson a pointed look which was enough to make him laugh and reply "Sorry Sirius, trade secret!"

Sirius is face immediately fell which caused his godson to smirk. In truth the real reason he had gotten the goblins to help was actually quite simple. He had found out, by pure luck no less, that Britains branch of Gringotts as it turned out was facing a massive silver shortage. So he had gone to the bank and proposed a deal, they could melt the silver off the black family heirlooms and keep it if they replaced the melted silver with gold and changed the engraved family motto. To sweeten the deal he had offered to pay for the gold used with the silver stickles in his vault. It also helped that the Potter family always had good relations with Gringotts and that he had learn't their customs and treated each Goblin he met in the bank with utmost respect.

"So" Harry asked "Did you get it?"

Sirius smiled and displayed a form, an emancipation form to be precise, which contained the signatures of the his guardians (the Dursleys), his magical guardian (Sirius Black) a lord of an ancient and noble house (Sirius), a representative from the DMLE (Amelia Bones, how had gone through the case form and agreed to their request) and a senior minister official (Fudge himself after a promise of a large donation by both the House of Potter and the House of Black). All that he had to do now would be to sign the forms and submit it them to the ministry of magic.

"Good" said Harry "I'll sign it then you can go and file it while I prepare for my meeting with Gringotts…"

"Can we have our breakfast first?" interrupted Sirius "This was the first thing I did when I woke up today, after freshening up of course… and if you don't mind I'm hungry!"

With a smile and a nod Harry and Sirius went into the kitchen, where Kreacher had prepared a big breakfast which they gladly ate while discussing the Quidditch World Cup, the finals of which would be held today. Which was the exact reason that they were filing the form today, with all the hustle and bustle the form would be quickly filed and approved and lost without to many people knowing about it, (Fudge never even bothered to read the form, just signed it at the promise of a big payday, greedy git!).


Knock knock

"Enter!" came a voice form the inside the office.

The door opened and Harry Potter calmly walked in, bowed to the Goblin seated behind the desk and took a seat saying "Salutem Dominus Goblin Ragnarock!"

"Salve Dominum Potter, I trust everything is proceeding as you have planned?" replied the Goblin "How may I help you on this fine day!"

"These are documents signaling my recent emancipation as in accordance with the law" said Harry placing a folder on his desk "after which is a petition to lay claim to my lordship!"

Ragnarock picked up the folder and read the documents it contained and after approximately 15 minutes put it down and said "Well everything is in order, though by the arrangement of the documents, I gather that you want your Lordship both ironclad and as quiet as possible?"

"Of course!" replied Harry

"Well the former is as close to it as it can get" said Ragnarock as he wrote a note on a parchment which suddenly burst into flames. "I will take care of the latter to the best of my ability… Now, is there anything else?"

"Lord Black has asked for a family meeting" said Harry placing another folder onto the desk "Also there are documents detailing the recent casting out of family members as well as the reinstating of several members of the family… I trust that you can ensure that everything is handled!"

"Of course!" replied the goblin taking the document into his hand and going through it. A minute later the door opened and a goblin holding an old black box. Ragnarock took the box, dismissed the goblin and opened it to reveal a fat ring which had the potter family emblem engraved on it. The emblem was 2 swords crossing each other, covered by a shield which had a falcon engraved on it.

Harry took the ring placed it on his finger. The ring immediately resized itself and a warm golden glow encompassed Harry before vanishing.

"Congratulations, you are now the new Lord Potter!" said Ragnarock.

"Thank you Lord Ragnarock" said Harry "And now that I am the current Lord of the most Noble and most Ancient House of Potter, I would like a full investigation made into the Potter accounts for these past 13 years as well as a list of all my tangible assets."

"Very well you shall have it" replied Ragnarock "Anything else?"

"For now, nothing" said Harry before he stood up, put his hand on his chest and said "Vale, Dominus!"

"Haveo!" replied the goblin and Harry walked out off the office.


"Harry" said Sirius "I would like to introduce you Lord Delacour and his two daughters Fleur and Gabrielle Delacour!"

Harry got up from his seat at the top box of the Quidditch World Cup in order to greet a slightly short, slightly plump, stout man who appeared to be in his early 40's. He had a short black goatee and well combed short black hair, with a sign of gray here and there. His two daughters were considerably more beautiful. Little Gabrielle who looked no older than 9 though he knew from his memories that she was closer to eleven, and then her 16 year old sister Fleur, Slivery blonde hair with an artificial streak of red (Something that Harry was surprised at) that was pulled back and reached just below her shoulders. She was dressed in red robes that obviously signified that she supported Bulgaria. Here eyes were a brilliant blue and she seemed to radiate beauty.

"It is a pleasure to meet all of you" said Harry with a smile "I am glad that you decided to accept our invitation to the Quidditch World Cup, please take your seats as the start of the final is not that far off."

They then started to make small talk as they took their seats, Mr. Delacour took a seat and his youngest daughter sat beside him, since Fleur wanted to sit with her sister, she found herself sitting in between her family and Harry and there was a seat between Harry and Sirius reserved for a certain bushy haired witch.

When the Weasleys and Hermione came, Hermione took her reserved seat and the Weasleys sat on the other side of Sirius with the exception of Fred and George who sat behind Harry and Fleur. Soon the top box filled as the Malfoys, the Bulgarian delegate and Fudge came and took their seats. The next moment the head of the Department for Magical Games and Sports, Ludo Bagman, charged into the box.

"Every ready" he asked, his round face gleaming "Minister – ready to go?"

"Ready whenever you are Ludo" replied Fudge comfortably

Ludo whipped out his wand pointed it at his throat and said "Sonorus!" he took a moment to take a deep breath before continuing to speak in a magically amplified voice "Ladies and Gentlemen… welcome to the final of the four hundredth and twenty-second Quidditch World Cup…! Now please join me in welcoming the Bulgarian Team Mascots!"

"I wonder what they brought?" asked Mr. Weasley leaning forward in his seat "Aaah, Veela!"

"What are Veela" Ron started to ask but soon found an answer to his question as hundreds of Veela glided out onto the pitch answering his question for him. Veela were some of the most beautiful women in the world – except for the fact that they weren't exactly human. Their skin shown as bright as a full moon and their white blonde hair fanned out behind them without wind. And then the music started and they began to dance.

Harry sat comfortably with a smile on his face as he enjoyed the show, while at the same time taking a note of the happenings of those in the box with him. Bill, Charlie and Percy quickly conjured ropes around themselves to prevent themselves from doing anything foolish. Bill and Mr. Weasley sat comfortably, obviously enthralled with the show though otherwise unaffected though for completely different reasons, while Draco and Ron attempted to prepare to launch themselves over the top box, which was something that Harry sincerely hoped that they would do, as it would save him a lot of trouble in the future.

Harry smiled as he turned his attention back to the dance though he could feel both Hermione's and Fleur's puzzled gaze on him. Finally the song ended and Mr. Weasley vanished he ropes around his eldest sons before reaching out and puling Ron back to his seat.

"Well I guess you got an answer now eh Ronald" said Sirius looking highly amused before his gaze turned to his godson "But why were you not affected Harry?"

"Quite simply because there are a whole lot more things to girls than just their looks" said Harry calmly "These beautiful women on either side of me are poof of that!"

Hermione smiled at the complement though Fleur frowned and asked "Monsieur Potter, considering that we just met today, how did you make that assumption?"

"Fleur Delacour is a pretty uncommon name in France" replied Harry "though on the French broom circuit Feur Delacour ranks at number 12. Also I spent my better part of the morning in a seinor goblins office and during that time I overhead a discussion about positional recruits for next year… your name is pretty high on that list. So forgive me for assuming that you are either of those women because both of those are pretty high feats."

"True enough Monsieur Potter" replied Fleur "Though I am assuming that I accomplished the latter due to my extremely high scores in Arithmety and Ancient Runes, I can assure you that I am the former!"

"Harry please Mademoiselle Delacour" said Harry

"Only if you call me Fleur!" she replied.

Harry was saved from replying when the top box was filled with a shower of Galleons courtesy of the Irish mascots. Harry turned to Hermione and asked a question which he already knew an answer too "Hermione, this gold…?"

"Leprechaun Gold" she replied "Vanishes after a few hours and overall completely valueless!"

"Thanks Hermione… and oh yeah, take this, you'll need it, you too Fleur!" said Harry handing them each an Ominiocular, a wizarding device that was especially useful for watching Quidditch. Out of the corner of his eye he saw Sirius hand one to Fleur's father and sister causing him to smile and watch the match which till this day was one of the best he had ever seen, and he had even played professional Quidditch. The Irish chasers flew in perfect sink and formation, their attack plays were flawless completely, Krums playing and feints were some of the best he had ever seen and the beaters, which were regarded as the best (both sets of beaters) were whacking Bludgers like their lives depended on it, it was quite easy to see why this match was one of the best ever played.

"Look at Lynch" Fred yelled because the Irish seeker had suddenly gone into a dive and Harry knew that this was the real thing…

"He's seen the Snitch" George shouted "He has seen it, look at him go!"

Half the crowd seemed to realize what was going on as the Irish supporters rose in a great wave of green, cheering their seeker on… but Krum was on his tail, slowly drawing level with the Irish chaser as the pair of them hurtled towards the ground –

"They're going to crash" shrieked Hermione

"No zey're not!" roared Fleur

"Lynch is!" yelled Harry

And just like last time Lynch hit the ground with tremendous force and was immediately stampeded over by a horde of angry Veela.

"The Snitch, where's the Snitch?" bellowed Charlie, along the row

"He's got it – Krums got it – it's all over!" shouted Harry.

And so it was as history repeated itself with Ireland winning despite Krum getting the snitch. The all watched as the winners took a lap of honor before both teams made their way to the top box. Harry clapped like mad as the players shook hands with the ministers before Fudge presented the Irish with the Quidditch World Cup. Harry joined Hermione and the Weasleys in celebrations and discussions about the Match until Mr. Weasley told everyone to go off to bed. After wishing the rest of the Weasleys goodnight he made his way across the pitch to the tent which he shared with Sirius which by some odd co-incidence was pitched right next to the Delacours. He entered the tent, drank a pepper-up potion and then fell into a meditative state awaiting the attack which he knew was imminent.


"Harry… Harry wake up!" said a voice causing the said wizard to open his eyes and look at his godfather who had a panic stricken look on his face. Deciding to act confused he said "Sirius, what's the matter?"

"Death eaters Voldemorts…" started Sirius but was interrupted by Harry who said "Followers, I know. Where are they and what about the Delacours?"

Sirius was surprised at how calm his godson was but never the less immediately replied "They are reported to be in the middle of the camp and John has gone to wake up his daughters…"

"Good, give Fleur this" interrupted Harry for a second time handing Sirius a golden coin "It has a protein charm on it, if they are in trouble tell her to press it and help will come, the apparition sight near the north west side is the safest way to go despite not being the closest. Go now Sirius"

And with that Harry go up from his seated position and rushed out transfiguring himself into a cheetah and quickly made his way to the death eaters. When he found them he quickly darted out of view where he transformed himself into back into a human and quickly pointed his wand down onto the ground and said "Serpentsortai!"

Serpentsortai… a more powerful version of Serpensortia which summoned multiple serpents rather that just one, in this case about two dozen. Harry then quickly uttered instructions in Pastletongue before pointing his wand once more and saying "Oppugno…!"

The snakes quickly made their way away as Harry took out some Peruvian Instant Darkness Power, which he had convinced his godfather to procure for him. A wave of his wand and he transfigured it into a burrowing owl which quickly made its way to the center of the death eater horde. Finally he conjured up a statue of a Peruvian Viper-Tooth, a poisonous dragon from Peru, and then pointed his wand at it and said "Dilata…! Draconifors…! Oppugno…!"

The Dragon statue immediately grew to the size of Harry himself before getting turned into a real Dragon, courtesy of Harry's spell. At that very moment the transfiguration of the darkness power ended and the death eaters were covered in a cloud of darkness. Harry's final spell hit the Dragon and it jumped out and attacked the death eaters who were totally oblivious to its presence. Harry too made his move with the fluidity and the grace of a Veela, yet with the precision and the ruthlessness of a seasoned Auror, firing Stunners and Bone-Breakers at the death eaters before shooting Reducto's at their wand hands. The snakes which he had summoned earlier jumped up from the ground and bit into the legs of the death eaters immobilizing them and making them easily targets for Harry and his dragon, while at the same time severing their Achilles tendons.

The battle was over quickly yet it had left him severely magically drained. Harry hoped that he would be able to be escape from here unnoticed and be able to rest, however it seemed that fate itself was conspiring against him. Harry paused in his attack as he felt a coin burn in his pant pocket, which could only mean one thing, Fleur and her sister were in trouble!

Quickly casting a timed transfiguration (one that would last for only 20 seconds) he transformed into a cheetah and sped away. One of the charms he had cast on the coin allowed him to locate it where ever it could be, and he was thankful for that as it would allow him to go to the French Veela aid quickly. His transformation had just worn off when he had located them. Fleur and Gabrielle were hurled together in fear as the senior Crab and Goyle advanced menacingly onto them.

"Stupefy" cried Harry as he rushed out "Petrificus Totalus!"

The stunner hit Crab knocking him out off the way leaving him no doubt unconscious as his other spell hit Goyle causing him to fall flat on his face. Harry didn't spare them a moments thought as he rushed to the Delacour sisters, the question forming in his mouth, but before it could leave a voice from behind him shouted "CRUCIO!"

Harry scream pierced the air as he fell forward completely affected by the torture curse as his wand flew out of his hand, leaving him screaming on the ground. His magical exhaustion, combined with the fact that he was hit with a particularly strong torture curse, through him into a state of unconsciousness, but not before he heard a yell and glanced at a wall of flames.


Harry James Potter soon awoke to the sound of several people speaking in hushed heated tones, though the sound of one of those voices made him smile as he said "Sirius!"

"Harry!" came the reply "I didn't think you were awake… how do you feel?"

"I've been better Padfoot" he replied weakly "But that's not important right now. How's Fleur? Is she safe?"

"My daughter is fine Monsieur Potter, thanks to you" came a reply in perfect English, though the voice was accented "My family owes you a debt, which can't be repaid!"

"No I rushed in headfirst and as a result, was knocked out and unable to help them!" Harry replied "I don't owe you anything!… Though, I would appreciate it if someone could remove this blindfold from my eyes!"

There was a bit of shuffling before he felt someone reach behind his head and pull off the bandages. Harry blinked once, then twice and processed the scene in front of him. Lord Delacour and Sirius were sitting on either side off the bed with a concerned look on their faces, to his right a healer dropped the bandages in a metal pan before summoning water out off her wand to soak them while another healer stood by the entrance to the red tent he seemed to find himself in… It took another moment to realize that he could see better then he ever could before and he wasn't wearing his glasses.

"M…my eyes…" he said stunned as Lord Delacour smiled.

"You saved my daughters!" he said with a smile "Repairing your eyesight was the least I could do!"

"Th…Thank you" said Harry stunned at the show of kindness from the man, he didn't even know that such a thing was possible, much less how much it must have cost him to do it. "But, like I said before, I didn't do much!"

"On the contrary Mr. Potter, you rushed in and stopped those two Gorillas (Harry could feel the contempt in that word and would bet his life that the only thing that prevented him from saying worse was because he was still a minor) from raping them, and then immediately went to check if they were alright" he replied "You were hit behind the back with the torture curse by someone who had just appeared and who has been taken care off (The way he said those last 3 words made Harry want to pray for that poor soul), when you fell your wand flew straight into my daughters hand and she was able to non-verbally remove the curse placed on her before transforming and roasting the poor fool to the bone! However had you not intervened then my daughters would have most likely been raped, then left for dead!"

Harry's eyes almost popped out. The reason the Delacours were here in the first place was because he had bugged Sirius to reach out to them and invite them for the Quidditch world cop so that he could get to know Fleur without the Tri-Wizard fiasco hanging over them. He never dreamed that his actions might have led to such unforeseen consequences. He then recalled the words he had heard before the start off his new life and immediately vowed to do better.

"Harry!" said Sirius loudly.

"What?" Harry said then immediately realized that he had been zoning out. "I'm sorry, I was just recalling recent events Lord Delacour. Please do me a favor and give Fleur my best for me, and like I said you and your family owe me nothing!"

"And I maintain that we do" he replied "I will be heading home now if you don't mind, my daughter needs to recover, and we need to prepare for the start of her school term, goodbye Mr. Potter!"

"Goodbye Lord Delacour" Harry replied and watched the man leave the room before he heard the customary CRACK, that signaled that he had popped away.


Seven People, four of them Lords, two of them Ladies and the last one was a disowned member of the Noble and most Ancient House of Black. They were all seated on a round table in one of the seven conference halls in Gringotts. None of them, save for two, knew why they were here, but they were all eager for it, especially after the attack during the Quidditch World Cup.

"Greetings" said Sirius, breaking the silence that surrounded all seven of them, "I am Lord Sirius Black, head of the Noble and most Ancient House of Black and the person who summoned each of you for this meeting. However before we get to the reason behind it we have a small issue to handle first"

He paused before continuing "Andromeda Tonks, you were once a valued member of this family before my mother cast you out for following your heart… that was a mistake I interned to rectify… Andromeda Tonks, daughter of Cygnus Black and Druella Rosier, I wish to welcome you back to the family… if you are willing to return to it!"

"I am" she said

"Then proceed" Sirius said as she paused before getting up and knelling before Sirius and offering her hand, which he took, before speaking "I, Andromeda Tonks, return myself to the Noble and most Ancient House of Black and hereby swear to aid its head for the good of the family when requested to the best of my ability, should he except me back into the home!""

"I, Sirius Black, accept you Andromeda Tonks, back to the fold and welcome you into the family!" said Sirius and a tongue of fire shot between both of their hand signifying her return to the house of Black. He nodded at her and she got up and took her seat and then he started to speak again. "I think that it is best that the rest of us introduce ourselves before we continue this discussion!"

"Very well, I am Lord Helios Greengrass" said a man with short sandy blonde hair and blue eyes who was seated next to a young woman who had long luscious black hair, regal facial features and blue eyes "Head of the Noble and most Ancient House of Greengrass and Husband to Lady Nadia Greengrass nee Black, who is the twin sister of Lady Natasha Davis nee Black and the daughter of Arcturus Black and Melania Black nee Macmillan"

"I am Lord Luke Davis" said a man with spiked raven black hair and raven black eyes who was seated next to a woman who could only be Lady Greengrass is identical twin "Head of the Noble and Ancient House of Davis and Husband to Lady Natasha Davis nee Black who I trust needs no further introduction."

"And I am Lord Harry James Potter" said Harry "Emancipated minor and the current Head of the most Noble and most Ancient House of Potter. I am the Grandson of Dorea Potter nee Black and Charles Potter and known throughout the Wizarding world as the boy who lived and am one of the reasons you are all here today!"

"Indeed" said Sirius before the others could ask "The main reason that I have called this meeting is because I, just like am sure several of you, have seen the signs of a dark time ahead of us… Voldemort will return, there is no doubt of that, and from what I have seen so far, the time of his return is not that far off… During the last war the Black family was forced to join Him and was nearly torn asunder. The Greengrass and Davis families were not touched because you were off more use to him neutral then as part off his followers. This coming war will be different, he will give us a choice, join him or stand against him… and regardless of which side we would choose, we would loose!"

"So, what do you suggest we do?" asked Lord Davis

"I have already created a plan and hav spoken to Lord Potter, who I must say is a brilliant tactician, about it, and he approves!" said Sirius "I will now propose the same plan to all of you and from there, we shall see what we decide to do…!"
