The Gray Side
A/N. Changed the name to define a more serious tone. And yes, dates have been moved so that 2016 would be when the boys started at Hogwarts as I will likely forget to mention it in the future. Also, there will be bashing in this story and a manipulative Dumbledore. Finally, Issei is ambitious so much so that he could be in Slytherin. He sacrificed a lot just so he could fulfill his ambitions so it's not unlikely that he could be there. He is also loyal and smart not to mention head charging. He could be in whatever house he chooses.
Potter Mansion, November 1, 2006
Issei held his brother as his stomach was hurting in pain when a little house elf, who was tending the garden noticed them.
"Who are you?" The elf asked.
"Issei Potter or Lord Potter as my father passed away last night." Issei said.
"How are you so old?" The elf asked.
"I inherited the Black family's transfiguration on my body." Issei said.
"How do I not know you are lying to me?" The elf asked.
"You can see the house ring, right?" Issei said showing off his right hand where the ring was on his index finger.
"I'm sorry my lord." The elf said.
"Now if you would excuse me I need to faint." Issei said collapsing and then returning to a baby form.
"Great now I have two kids to deal with. Better call the other elves." The elf said.
5 years later
Harry and Issei both started studying all the books in Potter Mansion. They learned how to become an Animagus. Harry found out his blood traveled time too giving him both a phoenix and basilisk in addition to a lion and European badger. Practicality his magic was screaming that he was Hogwarts champion. Issei's turned into a thin western red dragon and a Grimm.
Both boys were increasingly training in charms and spells. Issei was struggling more because he was more of a brawler. However once Fate came over and gave him a wand from his world he was learning at a fast rate once again. His wand was a different kind of wand, made of elder wood with a stone core and had a thing of thread to hold it all together.
Harry eventually went to Ollivander's and immediately requested his old phoenix feather and holly wood made for a length of 11 inches so he wouldn't have to wait two hours again. Ollivander was shocked that Harry knew what wand wanted him but none the less tried it and it gave a successful glow. Before Harry left he picked up a much younger Hedwig who also came through time thanks to Lady Fate and established their bond so they could understand each other.
Their studies continued into Occlumency and Legamency to protect themselves and to keep their thoughts to themselves. Of course, when the elves saw this they suggested that the boys got a side hobby. So Issei took up music starting with learning the piano to drums till he could be his own band by recording the parts separate times then mixing it to sound together.
Issei also set up a second life and formed AT&T and a Weapons company. The weapons company would build guns, stunners, and working on improving it all. AT&T developed a higher grade of technology and had the first smartphone.
Harry's hobby was cooking and fitness. Although Issei did use the gym in the manor every day, Harry spent more time in there to train for his lack of being able to do much in his last time. The gym had both Muggle and Magical ways to train and develop muscle and the magical core. He also was practicing cooking so they wouldn't suffer like the last timeline when they had too cook.
Although if he thought about it he could start his Horcrux hunt already.
Tonight, was the night the boys were going to break into Azkaban and save their godfather.
"So, what is the plan?" The boy with raven hair with brown eyes at the age of 7. Issei had a more toned body than he did in his last life.
"We are going into Azkaban as our Animagus forms as the dementors won't be able to detect us once we find Sirius." Harry said looking like his brother only with his mother's green eyes instead of his fathers. Harry was a bit bulkier mostly because he spent most of his time weight training physically.
"Wait they have blind guards guarding heavy prisoners?" Issei asked.
"Yes I know. Stupid right." Harry said grinning.
"What about his wand?" Issei asked.
"Before we break Sirius out we will try to find the wands of the prisoners and steal them." Harry explained.
"They keep their wands close to the prison?" Issei asked once again shocked.
"Wizards in this world lack common sense. They are so sheltered that even if an injury can be cured with a drink they will cry like a bitch." Harry said remembering Draco in the 3rd year against Buckbeak. "Wait till you meet the poppas' ass that is Draco Malfoy."
"All right I will go locate Sirius while you go steal the wands." Issei said.
"Being a phoenix I will be able to flame in past whatever guards they have in grabbing the wands." Harry said.
"While I fly up and find Sirius." Issei said.
"You have his scent so it should be easy. Just smell for another Grimm." Harry said, "it's his Animagus."
"All right it's time to fly!" The boys said together running off out of the manors wards and appreciating to a location closer to the prison.
"My boy they've really grown up." The elf said looking out the window smiling at his masters.
Azkaban Prison
Prisoners where all just lying there just waiting to leave or die. With all the dementors circling the prison draining all happiness from the prison. That was until they saw the red dot forming from the water. As it got larger and it frightened them to silence. Suddenly a large western dragon grabbed at the prison walkway between cells with its giant claws.
"Where is Sirius Black!" The dragon roared.
"I'm right here!" One of men said and the dragon moved up to face the man. The man had black curly hair with black eyes. Using his dragon nose he knew this was the man he came for.
"You are dead!" The dragon said loudly as the used his fangs to wall and smashed it down. "Sirius get on but scream first." The dragon whispered. Sirius desperate for his escape to get Peter Pettigrew. "Transform into a Grimm and get on my back and we will meet up with Harry later." The dragon said.
Sirius hearing his godsons name realized it was time to learn how to strap on his parent pants and help raise Harry. "Ahhhh Leave me alone. I declare my godson Harry Potter as Lord Black! SO, I mote so it shall be." Sirius said shacking a glimmer into his hands. "NOW EAT ME DRAGON!" Sirius said. The next thing the prisoners knew was the loud crunching sound and then silence as the dragon took back off from the prison leaving everyone frightened of its return.
No one noticed the black dog on the dragons back or the phoenix that meet up with the dragon.
Back at Potter mansion
The Grimm, Phoenix and Dragon all walked into the wards. After they all transformed back into human form. As soon as Sirius transformed Harry hugged his godfather. "Welcome home Sirius." Harry said shocking Sirius that Harry was an Animagus already at the age of 7.
"You are already an Animagus?" Sirius asked. "And a phoenix at theat." Sirius said.
"You should see his other forms." Issei said shifting back to his yr old form.
"Who are you?" Sirius asked.
"My name is Lord Potter, but you can call me Issei or Issei Potter." Issei said bowing.
"He is my adopted brother even went through blood transfusion with my parents." Harry said.
"They could have been killed." Sirius said shocked.
"With Lady Fate on our side we would live." Harry said.
"But why is your parent's dead." Sirius said getting mad.
"They aren't dead. At least not yet." Issei said. Both of Harry and Sirius looked at him. "Lady Fate made a deal with Lady Death and it was decided that in a few years we will be able to get a quest to get them back."
"Why is Lady Death helping us?" Sirius asked.
"Because she feels cheated." Issei answered "Voldy already has killed to many people too early and has tied himself way from her grip."
"Ok well first Sirius lets go eat breakfast." Harry said grabbing the two of them inside the manor.
"Alright Lord Black." Sirius said smirking making Harry stop.
"Right so Sirius thought I was going to kill him so he made you his heir and declared you as the Lord before being eaten by the dragon." Issei explained.
"Faking my death was a brilliant idea by the way." Sirius said as they made their way down to the dining room only to see food already there waiting for them.
"About time you boys came in. Hello Master Sirius, how are you?" The elf said.
"Johnson, how are you?" Sirius said.
"Wait Johnson is your name? For this whole time you told us to call you elf till we figured it out ourselves." Harry said somewhat annoyed.
"He does that." Sirius said.
"So you knew what we were going to do huh? Very sneaky." Issei said smiling while sitting down at the head of the table.
"I figured by not telling you my name you would go find the one person who knew it which is Sirius because he couldn't betray Master James even if he wanted too." Johnson said snapping and the food felt like it was unwrapped from a silver platter lid. The boys all dug in and enjoyed the meal.
The next morning a special edition about Sirius's death to a dragon and him declaring Harry Potter the new Lord of the Ancient and Most Noble House of Black. The boys all laughed at the enjoyment they were getting but they had to go to Gringotts and confirm the Lordship and a few others.
Issei became Lord Potter-Peverell while Harry became Lord Black-Gryffindor. In addition to the Gryffindor Lordship both boys can summon the sword although Issei can only summon a copy made by one or two of the sacred gears that Fate gave him. He and Ddraig at night began to work what all Lady Fate gave him a few from his old world to help him restore and save this world.
They figured Blades Blacksmith and Sword Birth fused to be simply called Swordblade. There was also Holy Lightning still in his body with Twightlight healing into it.
Both of the boys grew up normal lives and they learned about non-magic things like helicopters and planes and what not. Issei had Sirius as his representative at the companies that he owned. It also gave Sirius some of the things that the two worlds together might accomplish.
Then came the dreaded day. The day that the letters came.
A/N 2. So this is where I leave off the beginning of the books. The next chapter will discuss the differences between what happens in Cannon vs. New universe with Harry's knowledge and Issei well… being Issei will have effect on the new universe to come. Lastly suggest to me what pairings you might like to see. Read and Review.
