A Life Changing Moment
Chapter 27
Dumbledore manage to gain permission from either their parents or guardians to travel to Gringotts that Sunday afternoon. That is why the group of seven students along with Sirius were gather in the Headmaster's office to use the floo network.
Before the first person leave through the fireplace, Dumbledore informs the group "You will be meet your parents or in Ms. Bones's case her aunt at the Leaky Cauldron" as it was the only way that they would allow their children to leave Hogwarts.
"Of course" says Sirius joyfully at the thought of not being the only one responsible for these teenagers especially when Molly was around.
One by one they travel to the Leaky Cauldron where they found a group of adults awaiting their arrival.

The entire group arrives at Gringotts while they were quickly escorted by one of bank's tellers to the lounge room. Within minutes Eroki comes into the lounge room to say quickly "Heiress Greengrass, Heiress Bones, Mr. Weasley, and Mr. Weasley follow me" as they walk into the ceremonial chambers where they see Ranglock awaiting their arrival.
"Please take a seat" says Ranglock politely for a goblin that is as he motions for the four teenagers to sit down at one of prepared stations. Each station has a blank sheet of parchment laying on the table, a goblin-made silver knife, small potions bottle with a purple liquid inside and finally a goblin-made potion mixing set as well. As he goes on to explain to the teenagers before him "You shall each pour the potion into the mixing bowel and cut your palm with the knife before allowing your blood to fall into the bowl as well. Then stir it seven times with your own wand and finally pouring the potion onto the parchment in bottom center"
Ranglock watches on as each person follows the directions that he gave to them. Within seconds their cuts were magically healed as they pour the potion onto the parchment. This slowly reveals their results before their eyes.
After the completion of heritage test, Ranglock has Eroki escort them back to the lounge along with heritage parchment to reveal the results to the entire party.

That is why they were all gather together in the lounge as Eroki hands out the heritage parchment to either their parents or aunt.

"Who is Regina Lestrange?" yells out George at the thought of marrying someone unknown to him as he was secretly hoping that Angelina Johnson a fellow Gryfffindor and Qudditch teammate would have been his soulmate.
While the adults in the room knows that she the daughter of two death eaters. Sirius informs the distraught teenager before him wants to know "Regina is the daughter of my cousin Bellatrix Lestrange and her husband. I know that she is being raised by her paternal grandparents" as he learn after talking to Narcissa who happens to be the young girl's aunt.
Knowing that George's soulmate happens to be the heiress to a Most Ancient & Noble Family, Molly mentions to them "Sirius could you get in contact with Lord Lestrange to inform him of this development" as he is the head of her maternal family.
"Of course" replies Sirius knowing that Arthur would get eaten alive by the evil Lord Lestrange because of his obsession with muggles and the fact that he only belongs to a Noble Family.
Annabelle helpfully says as well "I shall arrange for some proper clothes as you meet with Lord Lestrange and Heiress Lestrange" knowing that George's first impression is important.
Molly could not do anything but allow for this to happen as she says sadly "Thank you for your help Lady Greengrass" even though she wished she could do it herself.
With that they all left Gringotts with the decision to have lunch together at the Leaky Cauldron. Annabelle steals George away to get his measurements taken for a new set of robes that where to the standards of the Lestrange family.
-ACM-
After they finish their lunch and said their goodbyes with promise to write. One by one they use the public floo at the Leaky Cauldron to Hog's Head Inn which is located in
Hogsmeade and owned by Dumbledore's own brother as planned beforehand.
The group had to walk up to Hogwarts before they were able to go their separate ways. Once they saw the castle, Fred and George race each other to the doors leaving everyone else behind. Soon enough Daphne and Susan went to see their respective friends as the Golden Trio went to the Gryffindor common room.
Sirius goes to his guest rooms to write a letter to Lord Lestrange for a meeting before going to see Dumbledore himself to give him the heritage parchment. During this meeting, he gains permission to allow Ron, Hermione, and Harry to join the next team meeting.

After dinner that evening, Fred walks with Hermione to the library knowing that it's the perfect time to ask her a question.
Before Hermione could enter the library to find another book for light reading, Fred says to her jokingly "It's time we go out on a date so you will be my date to Hogsmeade" as he walks away he hears her saying yes.
Leaving her thinking maybe it's time to get to know Fred better as he suppose to be her soulmate.
-ALCM-
Watching Fred chasing after Hermione, Ron takes his brother's led and runs after the crowd of students leaving the Great Hall to catch up to Susan.
Out of breathe from running, Ron finally reaches Susan and her best friend Hannah Abbott. He says breathing heavily "Susan will you go out with me" as he tries to regain a normal breathing pattern.
"When will this date be?" asks Susan playfully wanting to know when their first date will be.
Ron says bravely "I was thinking next Hogsmeade visit" secretly hoping that she will agree to it.
Susan thinks about for a moment before saying quickly "Yes" and walks away with Hannah in tow. Leaving a smiling Ron behind as he makes his way to his own common room.
-ALCM-
Instead of asking Daphne out in person, Harry sends a letter with Hedwig which simple says "Will you go to Hogsmeade with me?" as he's not confident enough to ask her out in person yet.
By the time that Hedwig returns with a note attached to her leg, Harry is playing chess with Ron in the common room. He unties the note from his owl's leg and reads it to himself:
I will go out with you but only if Astoria and her betrothed joins as well.

Without any hesitation Harry sends a simple yes with Hedwig to deliver to Daphne in the Slytherin's common room. Not even bothering to ask who her sister's betrothed happens to be.
-ALCM-
The next morning at the beginning of a new school week. Four school owls drop a letter in front of the letter's recipient.
At the Slytherin table, Daphne opens the letter to read who her mentors will be: her own mother will continue teaching her the mind arts, animagus will be taught by Sirius, Madam Pomfrey, potions will be taught by Professor Snape, and finally Andromeda Tonks nee Black will teach her spell creation.
At the Hufflepuff, Susan reads the letter from Dumbledore to find out as plan who her own mentors will be. Sirius will teach her about animagus, Annabelle will begin her education in the mind arts, her aunt Amelia will teach her about duelling instead of Professor Flitwick will be teaching her charms, and transfiguration will be under the instruction of Professor McGonagall.
Meanwhile at the Gryffindor table, two letters land in front of the Weasley twins. Fred and George exchange their letters to have who they have as mentors after reading it themselves. Fred will be taught by Sirius for Animagus, Professor Flitwick for duelling and charms, Professor Snape for potions, Professor Dumbledore for non-verbal magic, and Andromeda for spell creation. George will be taught by Sirius for Animagus, Professor Flitwick for duelling and charms, Amelia for defensive magic, Professor McGonagall for transfiguration, Professor Snape for potions, and Andromeda for spell creation.
After receiving their letters from Dumbledore, every student with a subscription to the Daily Prophet have a special edition deliver to them that morning. The headline reads:
The Boy-Who-Lived: Saviour or Next Dark Lord
By: Rita Skeeter
I learned from an anonymous source that the boy-who-lived Harry Potter aged fourteen was selected to compete in the Tr-Wizard Tournament as the fourth champion. However, during my time at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft & Wizardry for the weighing of the wands was that there was no longer four champions. It was discovered that young Mr. Potter is not the son of the late Lord James Potter and the late Lady Lily Potter nee Evans. This real name happens to be Hadrian Orion Regulus Potter-Black the son of Heir Apparent Regulus Black and Elisabeth Black nee Potter. Will he still be our country's saviour or the next Dark Lord? We have to set to see what the future holds as he claims his rightful position in our world as Lord Potter of the Most Ancient & Noble House of Potter and Heir Apparent of the Most Ancient & Noble House of Black.
Harry has a look of disbelief on his face as he reads article written by Rita Skeeter. Then drops the newspaper on the table and flees the Great Hall to the safety of Sirius's guest rooms. Knowing where their best friend was escaping to both Hermione and Ron calmly follows behind an angry Harry.
-ALCM-
Harry runs into Sirius guest rooms because the man in question happens to be his family. Sirius sees a disturb Harry before him and asks paternally "What's the matter?"
Before Harry has the chance to answer both Hermione and Ron come rushing into the room. Ron drops the newspaper on Sirius lap and simply says "Read what Skeeter wrote about Harry"
"Don't worry I will sort this out" replies Sirius knowing that he will have to reveal everyone on the horcrux hunting team along with Narcissa.
When Dobby arrives before him and informs them "Master Dumbly wishes to speak with you all and password is mars bar" and disappears in less then a second.
"I guess you will be missing class this morning" explains Sirius knowing that they were going to meet the team involve in destroying Voldemort for good.
-ALCM-
Elsewhere in England but more specifically in Little Hangleton, Peter walks into the room where the body of Voldemort could be found residing in.
Peter says with fear in his voice "Master I have terrible news to share with you" knowing that this will definitely make his master unhappy.
"Pettigrew what is it?" asks Voldemort impatiently knowing that soon his plan will come together at last to return to his rightful power and body.
Peter says quietly as possible "The boy-who-lived no longer competes in the Tri-Wizard Tournament" knowing that Voldemort was going to lash out at him but before his master could continue to speak he explains "According to the Daily Prophet, his real name is not Harry Potter but Hadrian Orion Regulus Potter-Black" not mentioning Harry's parents names.
Voldemort thinks to himself that he now needs to find another way to get Harry to the graveyard. He knows that he can't summon Barty to his side until it was closer to the third task to avoid any suspicion. However, he's unaware that Barty's loyalty no longer is with him.
-ALCM-
Much to their surprise, they were not meeting with Dumbledore and Sirius alone as they thought. They see Amelia, Christopher, Annabelle, Professor Moody, and two unknown people as well.
Dumbledore introduces them to the unknown individuals "This is Augusta the Dowager Lady Longbottom and Barty Crouch Jr." leaving a stun expression on their faces who still are completely in the dark as he says to them as well "I guess it's time explain everything to you"
Harry somewhat yells at his in response "I should think so since I am the one that faced him two times during my first two years at Hogwarts" as his third year there was no threat from Voldemort but Sirius escape from prison.
"What does he mean?" asks Amelia angrily at Dumbledore knowing she should have been inform from the beginning due to her position as the Head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement.
"Harry tell us what you mean right now" states Sirius annoyed that he felt that he should not share this with him as his uncle, godfather, and guardian.
Harry looks at Dumbledore who as a twinkle in his eyes before going on to say "I met with Voldemort in the back of my DADA professor's head and destroyed him when I touch his face" not mentioning that he saved the Philosopher's Stone.
"Young Harry survived this encounter because he's protected by Lily's love as she died to save him" explains Dumbledore wanting them to understand how Harry's touch destroyed Voldemort during his first year.
Amelia looks at Harry unsure if she wants to hear what happen to him during the year that the Chamber of Secrets was open once more.
Harry explains to them the shorten version of events "I rescue Ginny Weasley from the Chamber of Secrets as she was controlled by the diary of Tom Riddle Jr"
"Wait thats Voldemort's birth name" shouts out Augusta as she's been researching his life before becoming the monster that he is known today as.
"You are correct Madam Longbottom" says Harry sadly remembering the events in the Chamber as he continues to explain to them "I had to destroy his diary with a basilisk fang for Ginny's soul could be return to her body"
With those words of the diary being destroyed, Sirius happily says "That means one of the horcruxes been destroyed" as everyone thinks one less horcrux to hunt down.
"What's a horcrux?" asks Hermione being the book-worm that she happens to be.
"Voldemort spilt his soul into pieces by murdering people and the souls are place into objects" explains Dumbledore knowing that it's up to him as their headmaster "They all have to be destroyed for Voldemort to become mortal once more"
Ron looks around the office and mentions by chance "Are you hunting these objects to destroy them?"
"That's exactly what we are doing Mr. Weasley" says Alastor quickly knowing that it's his job and privilege to do so,
Harry is stun into silence for a minute before asking scare to find out the answer "Am I one of these horcruxes as he tried to kill me when I was a baby?" while touching the lightening bolt scar on his forehead.
"I believe that you are" says Dumbledore sadly but goes on to explain "Through the curse scar that marks you as his equal but I am researching ways to destroy the horcrux"
The brilliant Hermione asks them "Have you look into a muggle method to stop his heart and re-start it?" knowing that muggles can re-start someone's heart every easily "And I know someone that could do it for us"
"Who can perform this task?" asks Christopher little bit heisted as this boy will be a member of his family one day and the father of his future grandchildren.
Hermione explains to them "My uncle happens to be a cardiologist whose job happens to be looking after people's hearts"
"This might work" exclaims Dumbledore as how there's a plan to save Harry from the fate that Voldemort gave him as a infant. Then he asks the question on everyone's mind "Have you made any progress in locating either a possible location of a horcrux or the object used for a horcrux?"
Amelia mentions in that moment "I believe that his mother's childhood home might be a hiding place" as it's her linage that links Voldemort to Salazar Slytherin.
"Voldemort went through great lengths to become immortal himself maybe he used the Deathly Hallows as his horcruxes" states Christopher informing the group of possible horcruxes then Annabelle adds on to this statement "He might have used a object from the four founders as well"
Ron being the Gryffindor that he is asks "Why would the heir of Slytherin use a object of his family's enemy as a horcrux?" knowing of the hatred between the two founders and later the rivalry between the two houses.
"Mr. Weasley is correct because this object would be the Sword of Gryffindor" says Dumbledore happily knowing that this object is in his office and was not used as a horcrux before moving on to say "Also the only deathly hollow that it would be the resurrection stone as it has been in the Gaunt family for years as a ring"
Alastor says brightly "I will search Voldemrt's mother childhood home this week" hoping that soon there will be one less horcrux.
