Chapter VIII EPILOG - last chapter

:-:-: Well time passed and all went smoothly :-:-:

At Hogwarts a specific section of the seventh floor was sealed off. It would only be used for specialized training and some games it was renamed the Holodeck.

The students loved it. While the room was used for training sometimes the headmaster would open it for entertainment purposes. At the times it was opened for entertainment most, but not all of them, were voucher admittance only. Only if they had vouchers earned from mandatory events and if they passed a galleon worth each semester for the voluntarily testings were they allowed to attend these special events.

As the first new school year later ended, the most exciting experiences the students would regale their parents with was when they had been launched into space. They would go into detail about their visit to the Mnp, equal to IPA, or as it's more commonly known as Mir, the Soviet/Russian space station. They were all absolutely convinced they had been in space as the room simulated antigravity to add to the overall experience. None realized that the room had to enlarge the MIR to allow them all to fit even though they had limited the number of places to twenty students for each launch. They ran that event a total of sixteen times. Even Harry had to remind himself several times he was still in Scotland.

The phrases 'I have a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore' and 'I know we're not in Kansas anymore' took on a whole new meaning to some of the younger students.

Out of all they experienced and saw what scared them most was the event where they got to see Harry fighting with the basilisk in its full glory. They knew, based on what they were told by the staff, that what they were seeing had been real and had happened. They were told that the only restriction placed was that seeing the eye of the basilisk was safe for the audience. Added to the experience was the replica that Harry's friends at Gringotts had created showing the life size basilisk head with a sword of Gryffindor stabbed through its head while the hand and arm holding the sword had a basilisk tooth piercing it. It was located in the trophy room for all to view.

:-:

The family days were a success for all students and staff. They had two weekends to invite the family with the last weekend of the month was set aside for it, the only exception was December. When the family started their visit they arrived at Hogwarts at a time that was based off local time for the school they would visit. Ten a.m. on Saturday was the standard start of family days for the visited area depending on the location of the school and which school year it was.

Family that had children in more than one year obviously needed to plan a little more to be able to visit both school locations if they wanted to have both children present on the visit. They did of course have the option to visit one child then come back on a seperate visit to see the second child.

The only restriction they had was they could not leave school grounds other than to go to other school locations or to go to Hogwarts. Three of the schools Hufflepuff, Slytherin and Ravenclaw had access to the beaches and sea while Gryffindor had their own lake.

:-:

Another new aspect to their schooling was that when they left the new Hogwarts they had school degree equal to the non magical society. The non magicals now recognized the new Hogwarts as a private by invitation only school.

Because the classes had expanded and there was a lot more to study than previously offered there were a few teaching rules that were bent. Crystal sleep learning was one of them.

To be able to have the students on record with the non magical schools they had to be registered as attending the school and at times mingle with the local non magical students. All this was done so the locals would have memories of the foreign class, and it was done regularly one to three times a week, not all day but enough to be reminded, on both sides.

:-:

The next thing Harry had changed was the quills. He replaced them with fountain pens for assignments but pencils for notes. Parchment was then replaced with plain paper.

There were occasions where parchment and quill were used so students still learned to use them and learned why. As the quills, the ink and parchment are made with magic transfer capability it allows the transfer of your magical signature. These writing implements can then later be analyzed to find whose magical signature corresponds to it and clarifies who did the writing and when.

As the lectures about the written word was rolling on they eventually came to present day typewriters both non electric and electric. The described those with short term memory and those with longer, they explained computers and computers with games was a mindblowing experience for the magic raised. While the lectures were certainly interesting to the magic raised what really drew them in was the practicals. They would discuss one aspect like the typewriter and the instructors would allow them to experiment writing a short paragraph using one.

When the staff allowed them to experiment on the computers they did have a trying time getting the magic raised away from them. The magic raised gained an even deeper love for the computer on a visit to the non magic part of the school library in the Texas facility.

Here they learned about the ambitious plans of several N.E.W.T. level students. These students had got together to try and create a computer that could be used with magic. They wanted it to be something like the non magical version but totally separate while still possessing the ability to tap into the non magicals web based knowledge. They were working to build an independent 'internet' based on magic that they could store magical information such as potions, spells, rituals, history and so on.

At this point they had a computer with its own internal memory and when you typed the word potion on the computer you would get at least 1000+ results. It would then list a thousand texts for that subject. The same thing happened if you 'asked for', as the operation was called, information on healing. You got a thousand and more 'hits'.

Just like the non magical computers you could add more in the search question. There were still some kinks to work out in the search options. They found through testing that if they typed 'healing + potion' as words to be in the found texts the results were iffy to say the least but if you typed 'healing potion' then they received a few more results but only if they matched exactly. They were trying to set it up so that you could search for keywords or ideas so that you did not have search through countless texts.

The students after learning of the project were eager to try it out when the the offer was made. They started by typing the word werewolf and found a lot of information came up on the screen including a list of known werewolves. On further review of the screen they found the words cure, transform, before transform, after transform, aid for newly bitten. Through their searches they found and were able to print out the recipe and the working manual for the making of wolfsbane potion.

This type of workstation was beyond imagination for most traditional magicals. That this much knowledge would be so readily available blew their minds. From here they could access any other potion information that was stored and learn if it was a combination of potions and other treatment.

:-:

The students thought that being able to look at a very big moving image, with sound, and see the lesson from last week, the one you missed because you were in the sick-bay with dragon pox was awesome to them. This was new too, and Harry had planned it from the start. All lessons and books were to be recorded and categorised. This would be the start of a student library for future use.

To see this become a reality would take more than ten years but he was already getting a head start. With Gringotts assistance and input he had already gathered and stored a great big library. The access to the library was just for small groups but work was underway to solve that pothole in the path.

:-:-: Not all are pleased with Harry's success :-:-:

As Harry's school began to go into full swing word of its success was soon circulating around Britain. The story of success finally reached the ears of some of thee most notorious and incompetent traditional purebloods. The conservatives had hoped once they received the promise to reopen Hogwarts that it would be back to the old ways of running, the traditional ways and that the old pureblood group would be in charge of the school board once more.

It showed the purebloods the authority the ministry still possessed and was now going to use when they hadn't been informed how deep the changes to the school went. All in all it was not a good day for the purebloods and they were not in a good mood.

This was not the school administration office in the ministry but new Wizengamot members who had taken their family seats. That these seats only became theirs when the previous holders had fallen sick and died, days after the dark lord had his letter to Harry published in the paper, went unsaid.

With most of the old guard or old death eaters gone the new members had let the position they held go to their heads. They felt they could not, no would not, accept feeling like they were being talked down to by a mere half blood.

With Harry's transformation of the educational system he knew he was going to ruffle some feathers. He stated at the beginning, when he said he could teach the students better and have them ready for O.W.L.S. earlier, it would be by his rules. At that time none of the conservative bigots could have ever imagined all that Potter would change so they hadn't made to much fuss when he took over the educational system.

Harry had just sat down to breakfast when he received word from his allies that the next meeting of Wizengamot would have a bill proposed that would affect him and the school. The bill was demanding that classes at Hogwarts, and in fact the whole educational system, was to be restored back to how it was prior to Harry's improvements. Should the bill pass it would then order of arrest of any person, or as Harry's informant had heard the 'leader of the traitors', not compliant with it.

There were of course threats to go back to the traditional ways or face the consequences. However, when all this began Harry decided and firmly declared either he did this his way or he left it all and if he left then Hogwarts would stay closed. He had said if Hogwarts remained closed with all doors locked it would be up to the ministry to find the kids and create a school for them elsewhere.

Well, with this bill being proposed and the consequences for him that it contained, Harry was not just a little annoyed he was ROYALLY PISSED OFF. He paid attention to the loud voices and the not so inventive threats they spewed. It was as he was listening to them suggest to put him in Azkaban, stating he had broken the contract they had with Hogwarts, that he realized the person speaking had glossed over some important information. The person stirring up the most trouble was stating that the traditional way the houses were set up was what he had agreed, and contracted with the ministry, to use. Harry knew the contract wasn't worded that Hogwarts was to only be used to specifically teach a certain group or class. The contract did specifically state that all magical children would be able to attend Hogwarts however, no where was it written in the contract that once the term officially commenced that the students had to stay inside Hogwarts.

Harry had political power to spare and he had hated Azkaban with a burning passion from the minute he learned that Sirius was held there illegally without a trial. That the place was home to the dementors just elevated the hatred he had for the place to new heights. He would develop a plan to legally burn the damn place down later as well as finalize the development of a new and better prison system later. He thought the prison would be more humane not to mention secure if the goblins acted as the guards rather than the dementors. Later that evening Harry starts his plan with a bang by making Azkaban disappear from all maps. Using a concealing charm, an opposite of the old muggle repelling charm, he hides Azkaban from wand based magic users as goblins were not wand users they could still see the island.

A week later the island is back but devoid of prisoners and dementors. It now sits as a pile of rocks with no wards and only a few newly awakened aurors to show it used to be a prison. When questioned the aurors, stationed at what once had been Azkaban prison, had no idea of what happened. The last thing they could recall was the shift change, coming on duty, then nothing. It appeared as if they had been forced into a magical sleep reminiscent of sleeping beauty but when they awoke, unlike sleeping beauty, it wasn't to a handsome prince but to yelling auror captains. When Harry took the prison, with all marked death eaters now dead, there were only a few prison inmates which they moved to better prison accommodations elsewhere. The dementors were rounded up and hit with a mass transport portkey to someplace far away, very very far away and hot. Oh hell fine when asked we will tell the truth. We fried their asses, they ended up on what we think is the surface of the sun it may have actually been a mile or two below the surface. Either way they are extra crispy now so SPF will help. Sad to say I forgot to hand them some suntan lotion to stop the burning, my bad, no really I feel bad I may even need therapy….. Eventually maybe.

After the Wizengamot learned the fate of the dementors there were no more threats, especially as they also received a memo from ICW. In the memo it specifically stated that if the British magicals did not start to adapt to modern times the ICW would impose sanctions and enact something to martial law on Britain. They went on to state that Britain as it is now was a major threat to all magicals.

Over the years Harry had learned a few things from Vernon. One was that there were different levels of skill among the populations of the world. Some people were geared more for academic knowledge or you could also say they were 'book-smart'. Then there were those who were better with their hands or manual labor. For this reason he developed a more accurate testing method for N.E.W.T.s. His testing method tested for those more skilled at practical or those more versed in theory. In a way it was similar to the old N.E.W.T. testing system but his was a little more developed to make sure they were not failing someone because they were better at practical versus theory or vice versa.

In addition to the more in depth and developed testing system he also changed how the N.E.W.T. program worked. A N.E.W.T. student could complete their studies in two years, take the test and if they know the material pass their N.E.W.T.s. However they also were given the option to study for N.E.W.T.s for three years and aim for a master's in their field of study. This was only offered and possible after passing the OWL level.

Unlike pre O.W.L schooling this the student would pay for. They didn't necessarily need to pay while in school but they could. Payment could be made once they were finished schooling and had a job and were able to pay from their salary or they could arrange with the school to work for the school while completing their schooling. It was this part that would be nail in the coffin for the old government.

From the first day out of school interest on school loans started to count. For every hundred hours in the account, three extra hours were added for a full year. This was all written down and explained in advance so they all knew before making the agreement. The payment for the schooling was explained as well. Payment was to be made out of their salary from work and could not transferred from a family or personal vault. In this way it guaranteed equality in the repayment. You paid from what you earned, a rich pureblood could not pay from personal or family vaults and be free they had to do the work.

In the end however, Harry had to accept that payment from personal or family vaults as an alternative. But before Harry accepted this form of payment he made it clear that converting the payment for schooling from hours worked to gold was to be set by the highest paid at the ministry. As the loudest complainer had no idea of who made what they got the bad end of the deal. At the end of it galleons in gold was just gold but free housing, free meals, and whatever else there was to include.

-
Soon Harry started to realize why student debt was counted in hours instead of galleons. It was explained to him that if they did not have an income he would not receive a payment. Instead, in a effort to save on expenditures, the hours the students worked for the school saved them the costs associated with the position that student filled. So costs for advertising the position, paying someone to process the applications, interviewing the applicant, hiring and training the applicant if necessary were bills the school saved on and in some cases made money on by having students work their debt off instead. The student work repayment was a payment made of work hours and as that debt rose wow did the goblins see how gold was making gold.

Harry's motivation to set the tuition repayment rules was so that all young adults would have the same opportunity for an education. Those with money had been known to be lazy and expect things just because they were wealthy. In some instances they were given high positions they didn't earn and couldn't actually perform the duties of. No matter the responsibilities of the position they would farm the work to those under them and continue to be as lazy as they were in school.

:-:-:
Harry had thought of Dumbledore who had three full time positions, he never thought it would happen to him but it just happened so fast. Now he was the top boss for his own school, even though he hired a headmaster for the day to day running, then being 'Snake' the hit wizard and becoming a husband. Yes, he had married Tonks, they had even done the whole 'Las Vegas wedding' thing. 'Tonks' now proudly proclaimed she was Dora Potter and she still hexed you badly if you called her Nymphadora.

:-:-:

Harry's newest self imposed challenge was to get Neville to accept that it was time for his parents be transferred to the sick-bay. It was currently ready to receive patients and as Mr. and Mrs. Longbottom had been in, what is referred to as, coma's for more than a decade it was necessary to set up physical therapy for them to assist with muscle atrophy. Nev was enthused with the idea and wanted it to happen as of yesterday. It was at this point Harry had to convince his friend to not go too fast.

He confirmed that he had read and found a curse, that if performed on living life forms, could be the reason Frank and Alice basically become vegetables. Now he advised that if the counter curse is performed, with all that time spent languishing in their beds, they would be in desperate need of physical therapy to regain their muscle strength. One of the things they started the treatments with was a non magical electrical stimulant. It was used on their arm and leg muscles to exercise them and it was to be applied every few hours for a few weeks before they could be up. Harry had a lot of research to complete before he was ready to perform the counter curse but when he finally completed it it went very smoothly. Once 'awake' all that remained was a slow physical rehabilitation process, but it was done, and a half year later, they were permitted to move home. Upon gaining their release from the 'sick-bay' the exercised their options to remain in Barbados for a few months. All this took place and was completed prior to Harry establishing his school there.

Harry did study and practice various ways of healing. He learned the traditional version of healing to be able to obtain his healer certificate before studying, what wizards referred to as new age healing, 'astral healing'.

Once he completed studies in that form of healing he was not surprised when Miss Lovegood became a first class healer and took a new last name of Longbottom.

:-:-:

The Werewolves were going through some exciting times as well. The restrictions they were plagued with were altered so those that showed the will and the ability to manage the 'change' were able to lead a more steady life. No longer forced from jobs or homes, as long as they could prove they could manage their condition, werewolves were now starting to enjoy their lives in wizarding Britain. For others that were still struggling they were given assistance by the ministry due to the new requirements.

Most of them found that the animagi program was a superb way to handle the monthly transformations. If they completed the transformation before it was forced on them by the moon, they were like a normal animagi, in full control without any pain, but they could still spread the werewolf contagion like normal, by saliva and or blood.

:-:-:-:

A lot of alumni from the Marauders Centers were starting to climb the ranks in numerous places and positions. They did a damn good job both in getting there and in retaining the position. They proved that the new schooling helped them develop and brought about a new level of competency in those employed.

:-:-:-:

In the following years the British magical system revamped rules, drawn from multiple international communities, to fit their needs. Many of the ancient and discriminatory laws were repealed from the law books but, for historical purposes, they were kept in document form in the archives.

The magical world was able to successfully keep hidden from the non magicals with theses changes. Decades later wizarding Britain would look back and agree that Harry's revamping of the school to include non magical studies, later to be recognized as a university for invited students only, was the starting point for a golden age. A whole new world opened for first generation magic users, what had previously been known as muggleborns. Muggles and muggle born were now considered vulgar words and not used in polite conversations. In impolite conversations, especially those by school age children, those who used the words were punished or fined harshly.

They always knew it would take time before the most conservative of purebloods would even think about getting involved in the non magical world. Now however, for the first time in eons, the purebloods became the second class citizen as they would not accept what the non magical community readily offered.

:-:-:-:

Eight years after Voldemort and Dumbledore's demise Minerva McGonagall chose to retire. She could and would leave the world in peace. On leaving the school she felt pleased with her life as it had been, without Dumbledore.

One Hermione Granger was not very pleased but not surprised either. She didn't become Lady Potter as she had hoped and she found out that she was not as close to Harry as she had hoped. However she was still around and able to do some good for those that had been oppressed. After a great deal of work Harry was able to assist her in being elected as the new minister for magic. Throughout all this she was still reading and studying for five different master's degrees.

Harry had been forced to work as minister a few years back and that nearly got him lynched. To this day he thinks it was his call for a mandatory staff meetings that was the cause of the near lynching.

"I have been elected to this position despite what I have told everyone about how I see this place. Once upon a time it was a few great men that came together and argued, fought and hammered out how to do things to advance our society. That was some fifteen hundred years ago now I don't think any of you know of the name Offa, or as he would be known today, the king.

"You might not know this but Jeovani Porta was actually the Italian line of the family Potter. Now, the vatican was started by a few magical families that had to do what they hated, make an agreement with the non magicals. The magicals had been exposed but they chose to hide it behind the veil of religion. They had it under control and thought it would last forever.

"It did last a rather long time but as they hid behind the religion of church they started, support for the religion grew. It grew faster than they had calculated and soon they were being outwitted by their own peasants and followers. Mostly because of the intolerance of those in power things became worse and the non magical people took notice of the anomalies among those in the top. They gathered enough power to take over and with that they had access to the archives. All magicals of any rank at that time in Europe was listed in these records. There were even records about a few small communities with only magical residents in south of France.

"Anyone heard of Albi? Yes? No? Kinda? Well we will assume you have. Now as soon the non magicals had their people in control of the Vatican they had the pope they placed, Innocentius III, start the 'witch' hunts for all magicals. The documents they found in the archives just confirmed what they had learned earlier by word of mouth or hearsay. Now they were able to see, in print, the magnitude of the abuse of power the magicals had committed, against the non magicals, and gotten away with. With unlimited access to the archives they had an easy task discovering how the magicals abused the power they previously held.

"Magicals had been the educated elite but once the priests and others of the ilk gained enough education to be able to educate others they discovered how the world worked. With the power of religion backing them the Vatican's hold on the populace was absolute. With this power they ordered the magicals to be hunted down. It was relatively easy to pick the magicals from the non as almost anyone educated or wealthy was a magical. Once identified they were quickly rounded up and held in a prison created within areas they owned. From this point, as soon there was an available opening, they were transported to the tribunal area to be accused by someone, usually an authority figure, for disobeying the true GOD. It's not a well known fact but one hundred thirty five thousand 135000 people were killed by what is now known as the inquisition. The people of today unfortunately do not study their history as they should. The inquisition officially began around the year 1200 unofficially it started a hundred years earlier as the bishops started to act upon the reformation.

"Just as an example in 1209 July 21 in Béziers the non magicals of the city refused to hand over their fellow citizens. Some of those requested by the militant group were healers and teachers. The town knew these armed men were only hired hunters. The towns refusal resulted in a bloodbath and 15,000 were killed. Men, women and children with only around 200 magicals and a few magicals to weak to truly be listed as magicals but to strong to be called squibs by us.

"Three of the Hogwarts founders are some of the few that managed to escape. You might not be aware of this but a lot of English families gained their start in the country because people managed to flee over the canal. At that time the only way to travel was by horse, horse drawn wagons, or by boat. There were no flying brooms, no one apparated, and portkeys hadn't been invented yet. All of those forms of travel came later perhaps prompted by incidents like this. Well, there were the Persian carpets, however their use was banned outside Persia. If certain people received word that you had one and used it they hunted you down then erased you and your family.

"As I said the non magicals of the Vatican removed the magicals from the vatican and then did whatever they could to erase all that was connected to magicals. Does the name Jacques de Molay, ring any bells, no? It was the main family that our dear Lucius Malfoy, of the British line of Malfoy, was from. Jacques de Molay was burned in the year 1314, March 18 together with another fellow, a Geoffrey de Charney.

"If you would ever like to learn more try to find the Magia Naturalis book, it's written by one of my ancestors Della Porta. That branch of the family was still using the Italian spelling Porta, or if you find the english version Natural Magic they are from the middle of 1500-hundreds.

"You see as the non magicals took power in the Vatican they found they had an immense power backing them. They already knew of magic and, as the early clerics in the Vatican had written down family names, the hunters had easy way to hunt and kill them all over Europe. The hunting was done for allegations of heresy or whatever else could be used to scare the masses. For Jacques Maloy it was accusations of homosexuality. Well one can just wonder, only one child from two people. I must say Narcissa isn't a bad looking lady.

The non magicals killed more than 130,000 magicals during that time period. The worry or fear now is, if we give them reason to take up arms again and continue the hunt, that it could be the end of magical life completely. It is real possibility because you continue treating them as if they are not dangerous. You do not pet a werewolf on the night of the full moon and not expect to get bit. This is the same thing however the non magicals take the place of the werewolf and are millions of times more dangerous.

"Well back to what we were talking about, Offa was of the house Mercia and he was the man in POWER for around fifty years. Up to around the year eight hundred, was he one of us, a magic user? Yes he was and after him the family Wessex held the top position for many years after. But, well there was a little period as the Danish tried to take over, they began the attempt at Christmas time in the year 1013, some may even remember the name Sweyn Forkbeard.

"He was killed in early February and with that the family Wessex was back. However, they did not hold the position for long, losing the power and position again for roughly another twenty five years. To whom you may ask? … Why yes! To the Danish yet again. Again we had the Wessex family in power for about a quarter of a century before they lost it to the French. At that time our capital was then moved to London where the power at the top continues to be held by multiple different houses.

"Around the year fifteen hundred … well, have any of you had a drink a called the Bloody Mary? If you have, did you know it was named after Mary the first? Did you know she was the queen of England at that time? She lasted a whole five years as queen before dying of an illness. During her five-year reign, Mary had over 280 religious dissenters (magicals) burned at the stake in the Marian persecutions.

Well after Bloody Mary came her 16 years younger 'half sister' who was also a daughter of Henry VIII. Elizabeth reigned from 1558 until her death in 1603 we had period of political calm lasting about forty years.

The years leading up to 1660 had its ups and downs, politically speaking. At that time, due to some issues, the non magical parliament received the right to designate the regent. At the same time the Wizengamot, our own form of parliament, was formed allowing magic wielders the right to govern ourselves. However we were and still are still under the British crowns jurisdiction by royal decree. At that time thirty three families were the pinnacle of the basis of power for the magical people. They responsibilities included many things including watching the magical people of the land to make sure they did not abuse their power, again.

"Soon thereafter they found that what amounted to the day to day running of magical Britain was time consuming. In order to meet the demands for the position they held the ministry was created and continues to this day.

"As part of the government all of you are subject to the rules created during that time frame. Today at noon, as the minister for magic users of Britannia, I'm going to invoke the sleeping/idling oath which you all are to have been employed by. When you accepted the position in the ministry you, perhaps unknowingly, accepted the traditional oaths that came with the position. The oath is basically a series of rules to follow in the position for the ministry, forgotten or not you are still bound by the oath. If you do not like these rules be sure to have a resignation letter prepared and you may leave. I will not tell you the consequences that can happen to you if you choose not to follow the rules. You can research that information yourselves however, you only have twenty three minutes to decide do the research will have to wait. Thank you."

:-:-:

What happened after the information was shared and the ultimatum was given was that no one listened to the warning. Approximately one hour later thirty eight of those still employed by the ministry were either dead or without magic. What Harry had not realized was that members of the Wizengamot were included in the oath as well. They were also supposed to accept the oath and follow it or refuse and leave the position. To his eternal pleasure the bigots that had dared to threaten him with Azkaban if he didn't meet their demands regarding a traditional Hogwarts were now part of those gone.

"The investors also found that if they were employed at the ministry or if they accepted a seat on the Wizengamot you were oathbound as well. Things like taking bribes came with consequences starting with losing access to their magic. If in taking the bribe it caused, directly or indirectly, someone's death then you die. This was just the start of the rules and consequences, there was plenty more to it.

A short time after that Harry chose to take on a position with the ministry and had three people on staff on a rotating schedule. Their responsibilities encapsulated many things including presenting issues for him at weekly meetings with the whole Ministry.

Initially, the unspeakables tried to hide their activities from him, however it was not widely known to all of them that Snake was The - Boy - Who - Became - Minister. Or, in other words, that the Minister was the top hitwizard codenamed Snake. Soon they discovered that in order to have what they needed and to gain access to their budget, their salaries, and their facilities they needed to comply. After that he was getting a presentation on what resources they had access to. They even included representatives they had that sat at the weekly meetings.

:-:-:

Harry learned that hit wizards were a very large group and most of them lived normally in the mundane world. They lived as normal non magicals but when needed they were a hit force equipped to use both magical and non magical means. Things like cell phones, firearms and specialized magical equipment were not a mystery to them. They were the perfect undercover operatives, they could work a mission for the ministry of magic in the mundane world without being exposed as magicals.

:-:-:

Sirius Black never returned but one New Zealander Orion Gray, did connect with Harry. As Snake, Harry learned that there are two Veils of Death the official one only transported a person or object into what could be considered a hidden closed room. This was the true Death Veil. All people were questioned for any information that could be squeezed out of the guilty before they were passed through the true Veil. No one who passed through the veil alive or kissed by a dementor came back. This was the secret and also why Sirius Orion Black would remain dead to the world.

Gringotts, as business persons, knew of this after all knowledge meant power and money. If someone was, for some reason, not to be passed through the real Veil of Death they would be the only ones able to make a copy of that person's lifestone and then have the forgery die at just the right time. This was done to give proof that the person in question was truly dead.

A few years later a new unspeakable code named 'Wolf' learned this valuable information and that he could reunite with his friend Padfoot. Originally in his animagus form Padfoot stood about five feet eight nose to tail and about hundred and fifteen pounds, when you saw him he looked like a large black dog.

When 'Wolf' made the journey to reunite with his old friend he was informed about Padfoot's' altered animagus form through one of their many discussions. Upon seeing his new animagus form Remus fell to the ground rolling on the floor laughing his ass off. When you now looked at Padfoot in animagus form, in comparison to before, Padfoot was a small dog, sometimes dogs of this size were referred to as ankle biters.

Once Remus was able to control himself better he showed Sirius his surprise. He had already informed him of the ease of his transformations and the control he now had over the werewolf side of himself so since Sirius showed his new form Remus only thought it fair to return the favor as it were.

When he transformed in Sirius's kitchen unlike Remus Sirius didn't laugh, he freaked out. Before his animagus form changed he was able to be something of a match to the wolf now with his form as a corgi he was only two maybe three bites to the wolf. So once Remus transformed, even after Remus told him of his control, Sirius was sure he was a dead man.

Remus seeing the state hs friend worked himself into transformed back to try and call Sirius down. He finally managed it, after a few bottles of fire whiskey, needless to say it was something that would take time to get used on Sirius's part.

Unlike his godfather, Harry never became a quadruped. His calling was always in the air so it ideally suited that his animal self would hail from the air. As a Falcon, a peregrine falcon, to be exact he again showcased his unique and awe inspiring flying. He was now a bird capable of flying over two hundred miles per hour, in a dive.

By those in the know about his animagus it was thought to be quite a fitting form for the best seeker Hogwarts had ever known. The basilisk venom and phoenix tears did interact through the years and while he still was the falcon he also had abilities like a phoenix. Using his form he could slay a bear, grip it in his claws and fly with it or even teleport with it while in the air.

Within ten years of Harry's takeover, many police stations in non magical Britain began to have an increase of active magic users on the force. This increase enabled many previously unsolved crimes to be reopened and solved. The police force even went so far as to form a special group, for particularly difficult cases, which in many cases had several active magical users on them.

During the same time the auror force discovered they had access to the non magicals police resources. They could also confer with non magical police regarding cases. NTF, or the National Task Force, then developed what paved the way for cooperation and it had to be held back in secret from both magical and non magicals till the right time or like need to know.

On another note Ginny Weasley and many other young ladies became rather sad the day it was known that Nymphadora Tonks become lady Lady Dora Potter-Black.

:-:-: Lots and lots of years later :-:-:

The year was 2121, Harry and Dora were visiting their friend Regnok after official banking hours. During the visit Reg invites his friends to accompany him to his private residence.

"Harry my friend, do you remember the time I had you both sign those odd documents with the blood quill? Well that type of quill is unique and it's to be used only one time. Every time it's used a bit of your blood is stored, some in stasis, some in potions like the kind we used for your adoption and for polyjuice potions." Harry and Dora both nodded, "Ok so one of potions I mentioned is temporary and the other is permanent. I know that you know all this but I wanted to have you thinking about them when I asked the next question. What would you think about a potion that is a combination of the two? No you can't mix them but the maybe the functionality can be mixed?"

"Adoption? Being my own son? For an hour? To what purpose?"

"Think about Flamel for a minute, Harry. The philosophers stone was his way of explaining his long life however the truth is that he used a self restoration potion. Also you may not have known this but Flamel, once upon a time, had the last name of Potter. What he did was take the restoration potion to stay within the family but as a relative but not as part of the main family line. He did this so that he would not hold up the family title and to let it move on to the next family member in line."

"A Potter? Flamel? Are you sure? How? He used the stone right? Why did he alter his name?"

"He has done this many times. He will pass by, leave and die, at least it looks like that to the world. But in reality he transfers most of his finances to a new name and takes a new restoration potion and restart again. His gift to you from the world renowned alchemist Flamel is the knowhow. Unofficially the stone that Dumble had at Hogwarts was only a good looking copy, officially the true stone is now yours. The truth behind the stone is that the potion it makes, as you take it, restores your body itself. The potion takes time to work, roughly two weeks, before you are restored to the time the when blood was first stored.

"You have heirs, what I am suggesting is let them take over the name, but keep the consortium. Then you can have whatever time you need to have yet another century's worth of adventures without the need of keeping face with the public. If there are some things you would like to keep then perhaps will it to somebody or sell them to a store. Then all you would do is use your new identity bye it."

"Are you saying we could start all over? Have a new life? But just appearing nowhere is that even feasible? What about documentation and backstories? How young would we go? I we restore back to prior to seventeen would we need guardians?"

"Well this could be easy for you. Restore yourself to an older teen age you then you could participate in some homeschooling just to be familiar with how the schooling. Perhaps take your wizardarding testing again and enjoy a good life."

Harry turns and looks at his wife of many years and asks, "Dora, what do you think? Should we do this and maybe restart in someplace like Australia? If we did it then we could visit some old relatives up here for holidays. I kind of like the idea actually. But I won't do it without you."

"Yes my love. This is the best idea I have ever have heard. Now I am getting excited so yes, let's do it." Tonks then turns and looks at the goblin "Thank you Reg."

/ AN:
Harry's speech of history are true history with the exception that I transformed the 'non catholic' religion to be magical.
If you find about the French town Albi, you can find
"In 1208, the Pope and the French king joined forces to combat the Cathars, who had developed their own version of Christianity, and so a heresy considered dangerous by the dominant Catholic Church. Repression was severe, and many Cathars were burnt at the stake throughout the region. The area, until then virtually independent, was reduced to such a condition that it was subsequently annexed by the French Crown."

And that's only one place, it was all over Europe that time.
