Chapter 4

Ekoda Potter Manor:

Sumire rolls her shoulders as she sets to work baking, she always made goodies every week for the local orphanage because she knew what it was like and donated them for the children, she had also checked for food allergies and what not with the matron before doing so as well. Dobby was the one to let Shinichi in when he knocked and the former Malfoy elf leads him to his cousin while Winky gets him a cup of black coffee. " What's my cousin up to anyhow? "

" Making baked goods for the local orphanage. " Sumire answers, she could do it all by magic but she honestly loved cooking/baking.

" You should know that Dumbledore came by to see me. " Shinichi says.

" Do tell. " Sumire says even as she continues with her work.

The Potter head is smirking by the time he is done and her baking is also done. She uses magic to frost the cookies and cupcakes but that was it. " Dobby, deliver this for me, will you. I should probably go over the Potter estates with Shinichi. "

" Yes, mistress Violet. " Dobby says, apparating off with the baked goods. The Matron happened to be a squib and there were times Dobby was sent with the goodies for the children. Sumire also donated to the orphanage to make sure the children were treated right and to ensure that the vetting process for new parents missed nothing.

" I get the orphan thing, it's what you would have wanted isn't it? " Shinichi asks.

" It is and the Potter funds are being used to open up an orphanage for magical children that will be run by mundane borns and squibs. The orphans will learn how to live in both worlds. I got screwed over by two mad men with delusions of grandeur. " Sumire states and she starts going over all the stuff associated with the Potter family with him. Shinichi pays close attention since she would most likely be having him deal with a lot of the stuff while she relaxed. His cousin deserved a chance to be normal without having the weight of the world on her shoulders for once.

" The Potter family proxy is Andromeda Tonks nee Black so she also proxies the Black seat for me as well. You also have Peverell blood in you and I have Xenophilius Lovegood proxy the Peverell seat while the Gryffindor seat is proxied by Angelina Johnson. I have the Slytherin seat as well and I have that one proxied by Lady Zabini. My life is an utter nightmare. For now you just have to worry about the Potter family affairs. Get an owl and write to Andy, tell her you're my heir and she'll send you copies through the Goblins of what you need to see so you be my proper heir. " Sumire states.

Hogwarts:

Dumbledore had managed to get Snape off with a fine and now the wizened headmaster is pacing his office, how had Violet found her paternal cousin anyhow? He'd lost control of ever seat the girl held and with her proxies the dark portion was getting stalemated because Lady Zabini and Andromeda both knew how to play the game. They were currently pushing for a law reform and after pointing out some of the ridiculous ones on the books even the dark families had to agree it was needed. He had no clue what the agenda would be after that but between Andromeda and Madam Zabini most of the neutrals were on Violet's side while she had an alliance with the Longbottoms through Neville.

Even without being in England the girl was giving him problems, especially since she had gotten Madam Marchbanks to do an audit of Hogwarts Educational Program. Hogwarts was having to add several classes, revamp their Mundane Studies class, add courses to make it so all students could function in all situations, and physical education courses along with their diet getting changed as well. Madam Marchbanks was going to bring Hogwarts up to International Standards though she did hire a second Potions Professor, had the Defense Room looked at by the Curse breakers, Binns was fired as a teacher but would be allowed to stay at Hogwarts and a Wards Master took a chicken down to the ward chamber to renew the wards.

Dumbledore was furious because he was losing control of the situation. Violet had contacted people that weren't sheep and actually had spines.

Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes, Japan:

Fred pauses in his work, " George, did you just get the feeling that our dear little sister did something Marauder worthy without even being in England? "

" I did indeed, dear brother. She's making Dumbledore's life hell from halfway around the world. " George says, grinning.

The pair were in the back working on inventory while their new employees, both being Kitsunes that could take human form worked the front. They were also working on a specific line of products that used Mundane Chemistry for Kaito to use as KID. They had no problem with Violet's boyfriend being a thief since he was a decent guy. Plus, they had given Kaito some ideas to pull on his classmates as well. They understood that there needed to be several degrees of separation between Kaito's two identities and with his memories along with Violet's they were practicing on acting like them. Sumire had also signed them up for acting lessons from a magical actress that wasn't related to her. No way was she allowing her aunt in on this. Hell, she would keep away until she was married just so she couldn't be told what to do.

The Twins had also been given one of the labs in the Ekoda Potter mansion to work on new pranks. They were in heaven though they were also learning business management through tutoring, they had good business acumen apparently and it just needed refining though they had hired a lawyer and PR person with Sumire's help. Maybe they could convince Charlie to take up the Prewett name? Percy was a git but he was still family. Bill was starting to take his heir duties seriously, mainly helping their father bring their mother to heel and reigning in Ron and Ginny. Arthur, after being given a friendship alliance with the Potter family had started acting like the Lord he really was. More to the point Violet had made a donation to his department and hired a tutor that would truly teach him about the Mundane World. She had also gifted her new friendship allied family with a new owl so Errol could retire.

Kuroba Home:

Kaito was currently listening to different accents to find which one he wanted KID to have. This was orphan baking day and his dove cams had let him know that the Heisei Holmes had come to visit his cousin so she was probably spending time going over Potter Family stuff while getting to know her cousin. She would key him into the wards and then give him an emergency port key as well. The new Kaitou KID finally finds the accent he wants and sets to mastering it, to make it natural. That was the key to any good disguise. His doves were also watching the KID task force so he could also pretend to be them as well. He already had contacts enough to make his eyes any color though he could just use a color change charm it would be better to do things the Mundane way.

Of course his contacts were magically made so no one would be able to tell the difference. His hair he could get away with using the color change charm on because wigs were a definite no. There was also a potion that would change his DNA for twelve hours along with other identifying markers. All told he was set for the most part though he was also working on changing his magical signature as well. That was what got most of the magical thieves caught after all, forgetting about their magical signature. Thankfully his father had extensive books on how to do that on hand. Sumire had actually borrowed several when she realized what they were just so the Brits couldn't find her. She registered her new signature with the goblins and explained why she had changed her signature as well. Ragnok was all for pulling the wool over the Brits eyes.

Kaito was keyed in for the Slytherin vault so he could use those funds. It got the gold moving so Gringotts wasn't about to complain about it. Winky had seen to getting him several more copies of the KID outfit charmed up the wazoo to keep him safe, obscure his identity even further, all that good jazz, plus they wouldn't stain. He had several monocles as well that were bullet and magic proof. His top hats were charmed to never lose shape and never fall off as well. He would make damned certain he did everything in his power to not be caught.

He had every incentive to come back to his other half and he was damn well going to make certain he made it back to her. For too damn long no one had put Sumire-chan first, she'd always had to put her needs behind everyone else's. It was no surprise that Kaito was putting her first with all this extra care he was putting into KID. He was also putting some thought into what to get her and Aoko for their birthdays along with finding out Keiko-san's and getting something for her as well. Having the Blackmail Queen of Ekoda High on his side was a must. Thankfully for Sumire he had managed to secure tickets to a Tutshill Tornadoes game against Japan.

Aoko would be more difficult but he would not forget her birthday. The teen turned thief was researching the Blue Birthday and had already scouted the site out. He had a few more things to work out, he would not go into a heist without several back up plans in place. He would put his intellect to work. He had already worked out several apparition points and with the help of the goblins he had several safe houses he could go to. The goblins didn't care if he was a thief and Sumire had found a place where she could sell the things she had stolen from her Hogwarts School mates. Oh yes, she had robbed several of them blind, being Slytherin's magical heiress came in handy. She could get into all of the towers and more importantly she only stole from the bigoted pureblood raised children.

She had also put a stop to the theft of Luna Lovegood's possessions by pranking the ever loving hell out of those shallow bitches. She had trained Luna well in the art of subtle pranking with the help of the Twins. She was so hoping she and Neville got out safely. They were the only other ones that Sumire actually cared about back in Sheeple England. Kaito actually wrote to Luna so she could learn the language and he had a blast decoding everything she wrote. Decoding Luna speak was an excellent use of his intellect.

Dobby was working around Kaito at the moment though he did make sure to keep light snacks around the teen as well as water to drink. Kaito barely even noticed though he did murmur a thanks to Dobby as he continues to work. Dobby had also organized the library, stocked up on Potions ingredients, made sure the food was fresh, and polished all the wooden furniture in the house as well. Kaito's mother was going to be in for a shock when she returned home since their home was looking better than it had in years.

Dobby liked the work he did for Mistress Potter and Kaito, they treated him decently and more importantly he was happy. Dobby knew that someday his mistress would have to go back to England and deal with the Dark Lord at some point. She would just do it on her own time and not on Dumbledore's or the English Ministrys'.
