Chapter 3

It took three more days to get things arranged and redo his missed lecture. He also had to agree to extra lectures via the internet while dealing with 'family business overseas' as he explained it. Once the equipment was ready a Potter elf popped it over to the manor. A team of elves cleaned and repaired the family manor and retrieved the portraits from the vault. Dumbledore did try to access the vaults in the past but was unable to without Harry present even as a baby.

Mina had to let the Bloodhuff tribe know of the trip and they sent a message to the Hogsmeade forest herd of her presence. Harry sent notices to local magical nations of his trip and why. Many would send word to their colonies in Europe to aid him if needed. He hoped it would not be necessary but he appreciated it. The goblins however were the real ticket to his plans.

He was told to ask for Bloodaxe and Stonefang when he got to that branch. He was also warned to not speak to any other goblin until those two approve it. He had created the perfect slap in the face of the arrogant Purebloods and it would all culminate by the end of the year. He also knew how much the idiots needed to be led by the nose so he prepared multiple articles to be written by all European and British Magical Newspapers. He had a way to ensure they would be printed correctly. All he had to do was wait for some glory hound to write about his wife. That would certainly be a strike against them.

Mr. Reese was assigned to go with Harry and to ensure clear communication between the ICW and the British Ministry. He felt a major headache building just by hearing those orders. The day they were to leave for the Potter Manor a message came through for Harry to be at Hogwarts in two days for The Weighing of the Wands. Harry just chuckled and started to prime his Shield Ring. He knew that would be a very 'lively' event if they pushed the issue.

Potter manor sat on a spacious plot of land surrounded by forest and a large creek. There were also several magical animals residing on the land. The Thestrals were very friendly to Mina and himself. The Griffins were cautious but tolerant to them. The elves loved working with the family and asked about any babies sometime in the future. Harry still blushed at such talk. Mina thought it was cute. They were underage after all.

The second day there an informant let the Potters know that Rita Skeeter would be at the Wand ceremony. The plan was already looking good. Mina was not happy about it but would deal with it so they could help Harry's dream.

Speaking of Dr. Potter. He led Mr. Reese to the Gringotts branch and after a wait in line he simply stated he had an appointment with Stonefang and Bloodaxe. When the teller asked his name Hadrian looked the goblin in the eye and repeated his words calmly. The fact his green eyes glow 'Killing Curse' green did let the goblin know he was not playing games.

Soon the two men were escorted to the office of the goblins he requested. Once inside the men bowed to the goblins. "I am Lord Hadrian James Potter. This is Mr. Reese MPR assigned to me. Let's get this going with good news. The fools in the Ministry invited Rita Skeeter to the Ceremony tomorrow. I will arrive with my wife and the rest as they say will be history in making. I do hope this is also beneficial to you as it means less wasted effort for a liability issue."

The goblins were grinning as they handed him some papers. He smiled at the projections and did a couple corrections. When the pair took it back they nearly fell out of their seats. "We need to be clear… This is exactly how you want to do this? Those are unexpected interest fees."

The grin on the boy's face made the bankers proud. "Yes. I am absolutely sure. These fools allowed this to happen and now I am going to use their own laws and tactics to remove their power and wealth. Honorable goblins… let the games begin."

On arrival at Hogwarts the day he was supposed to attend the Weighing of the Wands he was accompanied by his Wife and Mr. Reese as well as a goblin. They were led by a very hesitant Headmistress McGonnagal till Dr. Potter stopped her. "Headmistress, let me be clear. You are not to blame for what happened as you may have been subjected to charms or even alchemic potions to ensure you listened to the man despite common sense saying he was wrong. Also please stop glaring at my wife. She is very special to me and she is the reason the centaurs here locally have not turned against the old man. She technically out ranks them as a member of a much more violent herd. This is my wife. Lady Dr. Mina Potter-Bloodhoof, Dr. of Child Medicine and Psychology."

That had the Headmistress on a back foot as this… centaur was a trained healer of children and married to Lord Potter. Then the name hit. She had heard of the Bloodhoof Centaurs. They were feared even among their own kind. "I fear there will be those who will not heed that warning nor accept her place as your wife. I do ask that you not kill them. I however have no qualms about humiliation and such for those who will step out of line." Mr. Reese was opening a bottle of pills off to the side.

When they entered the room they noticed each Champion standing or sitting near their Headmasters. Hadrian simply let Mina take his arm and led her to a spot of their own close to the Fireplace. "My dear I do believe we have everyone's attention. Too bad this will not be the end of the festivities. Hello Madam Maxime and Ms. Delacour, It is good to see you again. You both remember my wife Dr. Mina Potter."

The Headmistress walked over to them and did the French greeting first with Mina then Lord Potter. While this was happening he noticed a gaudy looking woman speaking to an acid green quill. He snapped his fingers beside him while listening to Fluer talk to Mina about her dress. The quill rose up then started to slash the paper before both erupted into flame. They all turned to look at her as she shrieked and jumped away from the fire. Ludo Bagman who was the current Ministry representative looked at the event with some glee. That woman had ruined many peoples lives with her vile articles. He did cast a water charm to douse the small fire but that was all he did.

Headmaster Karkaroff looked shocked as he barely saw the boy turned Lord move his fingers right before the event. He however did lead his champion over to the new arrivals, keeping a distance from the Centaur. "Greeting Lord Potter. We hope you will give our champions a fighting chance with these tasks. You seem to know Ms. Fluer Delcour. Allow me to introduce Drumstrang's champion, Victor Krum. Youngest player in the Quidditch League." Krum shook the young man's hand then took Mina's and kissed the back of it as soon as he saw the ring.

Drum u smiled at both of them. "I think you have a very interesting story as to your wife here but it can wait till later. Oh and the busy body over there with the burning notes is Rita Skeeter. Very bad person who writes news with very little truth. Be careful around her. She gets stories from places no one should be to hear them."

"Please call me Hadrian as these two are also allowed to do. Now Headmaster Karkaroff," He leaned closer, "I can help get rid of certain unfortunate tattoos as long as you stay away from former allies while here, is that acceptable?"

The man paled then glanced at his arm. "I will make a vow on it if needed, if you can do as you say. Thank you Lord Potter. Perhaps you could also swing by the ship and give a lecture on some of these 'Sciences' I have been hearing of." Hadrian agreed and explained that he had to do some lectures over the internet and would gladly like to include an explanation of that to the students. Madam Maxime asked to add hers to it as well and on that note the Hogwarts Champion walked up.

"Greetings Lord… and Lady Potter, I am so sorry that you have been pulled into this mess. I hope you will not look down on us as a whole for the actions of a few. I fear some will not be as open minded as most of Huffelpuff, the House of Badgers, as myself. Also please remember that some will be pulled into pier pressure to follow the bigoted ones. Now with that said, I am Cedric Diggory and this is Professor Sprout,Head of Hufflepuff and Herbology teacher."

Mina looked her over before grinning. 'Oh I like this one she smells of the earth and plants and I can see the Badger in her eyes. Oh yes, she will be a very dangerous woman if her den is disturbed. Dr. Mina Potter, Child Psychology and Medicine." The squat woman was smiling like the cat that caught the canary at the compliment, then she turned to look at the Centaur girl closely. She heard those words form her Muggle-raised students and knew how important those professions were.

Before they could continue the vile woman in Gaudy robes and glasses sauntered over. "Hello Lord Potter, Rita Skeeter, Daily Prophet Journalist. Perhaps I could have a moment of your time…" Mr. Reese stepped in between her and the group. His form and attire was intimidating but his clear speech was almost Magical.

"Ms. Skeeter, I know that all European and British Magical news agencies have received notice that any and all interview requests are to go through Lord Potter's assigned Magical Public Relations officer. I know for a fact the Daily Prophet has not sent any such request. That means that even if you are conveniently at the same location. You are not authorized nor allowed to speak with Lord Potter or Lady Potter. Please return to the side of the room if you are actually here to cover this travesty wrapped Tournament. Also be aware that any comments on Lord Potter or his wife not backed by truth and facts will be dealt with."

Skeeter sneered a bit but scurried back to her corner before pulling out a new note roll and writing on it. She eyed the man very carefully before her eyes landed on the ICW pin on his lapel. She then struck out a line and kept writing till the Headmistress and the local WandMaker came in.

Mcgonnagal sighed as she noticed the group talking peacefully. Even the brash Karkaroff was being tamer than usual. "Everyone please gather round. We are here as part of the tournament tradition of inspecting the Champions Wands. This is Mr. Olivander who is our local Wandlore expert. He will decide if your wand is in good condition or not."

(standard wand scene here till Hadrian's turn)

"Very good. Now Lord Potter, your turn." The man looked confused as Dr. Potter held his hand out. "Umm. I need to see your Wand Lord Potter." Again the hand was placed before him but so was a note. After reading it the older man chuckled. "I like the fact that someone did their homework. I take it you do not use a wand Lord Potter. What foci do you use then?"

The young man pulled back his sleeve to show a bracelet of twisting metal and wood bands. "It took many attempts to find a suitable foci after the bindings were removed but an Oroboerium was found to work with my unique magical flow. Most of the time I free hand spells and use my advanced education to do things most need a wand for. I would highly suggest never handing me a wand. The results are very… Intense." The sound of Mina giggling at his words eased the room. In the corner Rita was scowling as she kept writing and telling her cameraman to get shots.

Once they were about to leave, Rita smiled smugly. "Oh but we need photos of the Champions. Come gather round. A group shot and single shots." Mr. Reese spoke with Hadrian then frowned Mina also did not look happy but agreed to what was said. He informed Skeeter that the group shot was allowed with Lady Potter involved as the others had their School Representatives with them.

The camera man seemed to have trouble with the shot as Maxime was a half giant and Mina did have extra height on the others. Hadrian looked at the camera then told the man to turn it sideways. The simplest of tricks worked and every one was in the shot. As they prepared for single shots Lord and lady Potter left stating that the real champions should be interviewed, Not the Hostage.
