The Inferi Infection

by Craze666

HP/Resident Evil X-over. One of the Inferi escaped from the cave where Slytherin's Locket was hidden, and now Umbrella has it. They create the T and G-Viruses from the Inferi and now they've escaped the labs. Summary sucks, story better. Possible bashing

Chapter 3

Custody and Confessions

Sirius Black stalked down the hallways of the Ministry of Magic with a purpose. He head straight for the Department of Magical law Enforcement and asked to see Amelia Bones. In his hands he held the Potter's Will. Not a copy, mind you, the original Will, written on Charmed Legal Parchment and signed with a Blood Quill. No one knew that James and Lily had given him access to the Potter Family Vault when they named him Harry's Godfather, and so also didn't know he was able to retrieve the Will as soon as his name was cleared. There had, of course, been a copy of the Will distributed upon the deaths of his best friend and his wife being confirmed, but Sirius had recently discovered that Dumbledore had used his power and positions to have that Will sealed until Harry came of age. The fact that Sirius was livid at this discovery should go without saying.

At that moment, Madame Bones emerged from her office, and beckoned Sirius inside, smiling warmly at him. "Well, Sirius," she said as she sat down behind her desk, "What can I do for you today?"

"Thank you for seeing me, Madam Bones. I have here the original of the Potter's Will. It was never executed."

"Sirius, I don't know what you want me to do about this. The Will has been sealed until Harry comes of age, I can't read the will now, even if it is the original, unless you can prove Dumbledore had the Will sealed to hide illegal action on his part."

Sirius allowed a smirk to flit across his face before answering. "Madam that is exactly what I can prove. Please, read for yourself." Still smirking, he handed across the Potter Will.

The first thing Amelia Bones noticed is that the wax seal had not been broken, and that it was a Gringotts Seal, which is only able to be produced through Goblin magic, so humans can't use the seal to misrepresent the bank. That alone did not bode well for Albus Dumbledore. Frowning, Amelia broke the seal and read:

The Last Will and Testament of Mr. and Mrs. James Michael Potter

This is the Last Will and Testament of James Michael Potter and Lily Rose Potter (nee Evans). We are each of sound mind and free from the influence of any mind control means including potions and curses of any form.

In regards to our assets: If one of us should survive the other, the surviving spouse is to inherit all lands, deeds, stocks, bonds, titles, properties, guardianships and monies from the Potter Vaults and the Evans Vaults. If we are both deceased, then our son, Harrison James Potter shall inherit all lands, deeds, stocks, bonds, titles, properties, guardianships and monies of the Potter Vaults and the Evans Vaults. If we die before he has reached the age of sixteen (16), then all of the above shall be held in trust for him by Sirius Orion Black, who has been named Harrison's Godfather. He is also to assume Guardianship of Harrison himself, assuming all physical and legal responsibilities of a parent.

If Sirius Orion Black is unable to assume guardianship, then guardianship shall pass to those listed below, in order of preference:

1) Remus John Lupin. Lily Rose Potter and James Michael Potter are fully aware that Remus John Lupin is afflicted with Lycanthropy, and during the full moon he will place Harrison James Potter with one of the families on this list, should he assume Guardianship of said child.

2) Mr. and Mrs. Frank and Alice Longbottom

3) Professor Minerva McGonagall, of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry

4) Mr. and Mrs. Arthur and Molly Weasley.

5) Madam Amelia Susan Bones.

If none of the above are available or in a position to assume Guardianship of one Harrison James Potter, then said child is to be places in Ministry custody, to b adopted by any family that was not convicted, accused or suspected of being a Death Eater, or of supporting the Death Eaters and the wizard styling himself Lord Voldemort. This is to include any who claim to be bewitched or under any curses or potions that may interfere with their free will.

In addition, we wish to state that under no circumstances is Harrison James Potter to be placed in the custody of one Petunia Orchid Dursley (nee Evans) or her husband, Vernon Dursley. They have been known to be abusive and hateful towards anything magical. An Order of Protection is on file at the Ministry Department of Magical Law Enforcement, detailing his offences against Lily Rose Potter (Nee Evans), if any further evidence is required.

The Individual or family that takes Guardianship of one Harrison James Potter is to receive a monthly stipend of 1000 galleons a month. If the Individual or Family require funds to remodel a home in which Harrison James Potter is living, funds can be removed from the Potter Family Vaults. Otherwise, access to the Potter and Evans Family Vaults will be restricted until Harrison James Potter is 17, with a trust Vault becoming available for school purposes at age 11.

Below is a personal message from James Michael Potter and Lily Rose Potter (Nee Evans):

As we write this Will, we are at war. Upon the advice of Albus Dumbledore, we are placing our house under the Fidelius Charm. We are spreading the rumor that Sirius Orion Black will be our Secret-Keeper, but upon our deaths a copy of this Will is to be sent to the Head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement stating that it was, in fact, Peter Aloysius Pettigrew to clear up any accusations that may be sent to Sirius Black.

As Amelia had read the Will, her frown had deepened. As she finished it, she was nearly as furious as Sirius was. She took a breath to calm herself before looking Sirius in the eye and speaking.

"Well, clearly Dumbledore had something to hide. He knew that the placement with the Muggles was illegal, given that he witnessed the will. He also knew you weren't the Secret-Keeper for the Potters. I always found it curious that he didn't push for a trial all those years ago." Here she stopped, thinking about what to do. She could, in her capacity of Head of the DMLE, declare the will unsealed and executed without seeking approval from the Minister first. Dumbledore would be furious, but it was unlikely that he would actually do anything, unless he wanted his participation in illegally placing Harry with the Muggles exposed. She pulled out some parchment from her desk, filled it out, signed it and stamped it. "Ok, Sirius. I'm going to declare the Will unsealed and executed. As soon as you sign this, leave this office and take this parchment down to the Family Office, you'll have custody of Harry."

"Thanks you, Madame Bones." Sirius quickly added his scrawl to the parchment and left the office. Within minutes the parchment work was filed and he had custody of Harry. As he entered the Ministry Atrium, he saw Dumbledore sitting talking to Fudge, and Fudge nodding. He was planning to just walk by, but Fudge looked up and spotted him. Pompousing himself up as much as he could, he strode over and immediately started speaking.

"Mr. Black, I'm glad you're here. It saves me the trouble of trying to track you down. Albus here tells me that you're going to attempt to gain custody of young Harry Potter. I'm here to tell you not to, you won't get it."

Sirius raised an eyebrow, a glint in his eyes. "Is that so, Minister. Well, I think you might want to talk to Madame Bones then, because," Here he looked Albus dead in the eyes, steel in his voice as he spoke, "She's seen the original Potter Will, and chose to unseal t and execute it." He bit back a smirk as Dumbledore's face drained of color. "This means I already have custody of Harry. Now excuse me, I need to go sit with him while he waits for his friend to regain consciousness." Ignoring the look of rage on Dumbledore's face, he left the Ministry and headed back to Hogwarts.

Hogwarts, Hospital Wing, same time as Sirius is talking with DMLE

Hermione was still fighting. She had to get to Harry. The darkness wasn't as heavy anymore, and she was almost there. She made it out of the darkness and there was a door in front of her. She reached out a shaking hand and turned the knob, opening the door.

On the sterile bed in the Hospital Wing, Hermione Granger opened her eyes for the first time in a fortnight and spoke.

"Harry."

AN: Next Chapter focus on Resident evil. Depending on how that chapter plays out, I may end up mixing them again. This fic will NOT be HBP and DH compliant.
