00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Some days had passed since Sirzechs came to Peverell Mansion and Harry was currently relaxing in his garden , enjoying the peaceful atmosphere around him : the chirping birds, the soft cool wind, the grasses ruffling against his skin… He wanted nothing more than to stay like this forever. A lot of things happened since Kuroka had been declared free of all charges by the Four Maous of the Underworld.
For starter, the Black Nekoshou had became, like Tiamat, Asia, Raynare and Ravel, a permanent resident of Peverell Mansion. Second, Harry had arranged a meeting between her and her sisters and things had been tense at first but thankfully it turned to the better in the hands as Koneko/Shirone forgiven her older sister.
The white haired Nekoshou had been warned about the Maou's decision and why her sister had killed her King.
At first shocked, Koneko still was wary of using Senjutsu but after her meeting for her older sister… let's just say her mind had changed a bit. When she asked Kuroka how she managed to convinced the Maous to re-open her case, the black Nekoushou, in front of Rias' whole Peerage, had explained that it was thanks to a certain 'handsome green eyed young man'.
Rias and her Peerage had first were wondering who they were talking about when Kuroka lunged herself at the only guy in the room who could match this description : Harry Peverell Gryffindor Ravenclaw Slytherin Emrys the Fey. The young Lord almost had his back broken because of the hug he received from Rias' Rook (Koneko) as the white haired Nekoshou didn't stopped thanking him for helping her sister.
However, the good moment had been ruined by Kuroka because she couldn't stop herself for saying she was now a member of the young Lord's Harem ! Harry wanted nothing more than to hide under a rock when everyone stared at him with gaping mouthes… except Issei who loudly complained that Harry was stealing his dream of being a Harem King.
Thankfully for him, Ophis, when she heard about the new additions in the Harem by Tiamat, came to Peverell Mansion to confront her mate about it. Harry had been really scared at the emotionless face she had made when faced him. Why women had to be so damn scary ?! The Infinite Dragon eyed Kuroka with inquisitive eyes before looking back at Harry who was really nervous at this point.
To his shock and delight, Ophis had approved of the Black Nekoushou and he had released a deep breath of relief after she said those words. Of course that didn't stopped the Ouroboros Dragon God to give him an earful about taking girls without her around. He had objected vehemently saying that it was girls who were looking for him not the contrary… which was true. But Ophis had not been convinced but after Tiamat spoke to his favor… she backed down… for now.
Today there was no school for him which was good because it had been a moment since the last time he had a break : between his moment with his girls, the Occult Research Club, School, and jis bad luck, he didn't have a lot of time for himself so he was REALLY going to enjoy his alone time as best as possible. This morning, he received a message from Yasaka and in short, she wasn't happy that he never came to visit.
Of course, he wrote a letter back stating that if they wanted they were free to come to Kuoh and had sent Hedwig, his precious Familiar and friend to give it to the Leader of the Youkai Faction.
Apart of this, many things came after the Peace Treaty between the Factions : to begin, Azazel had respected his promise and was now more attentive and serious with his Fallen Angels and he sent a message to Raynare saying that she was welcome to return among them.
The Fallen Angel had refused stating that she was happier with the love of her life (Harry) and Azazel, while disappointed, had accepted her reason as he didn't wanted to have a furious Lord Peverell on his back… not after what he did to Kokabiel, Katarea and her army of Magicians.
Another thing that happened after that day was the eventual visit of a certain Seraph. Yes the Angel Gabriel, with the approval of Michael, would sometimes stop by to visit Harry. The young Lord had been shocked to see her at his doorstep but then started to curse/thank whatever deities after she kissing him right on the lips under the eyes of Kuroka, Ravel, Tiamat and Raynare.
Of course she had been accepted into the Harem by the others girls and again, Harry didn't get a say in this, much to his internal frustration as he sometimes wondered if they weren't doing this just to annoy him. However, what he didn't expected where the occasion glares Ravel sent to the other girls where they hogged him. He could perfectly see what she was feeling through them : anger, envy, and jealousy were the top ones.
To avoid creating conflicts, Harry made to sure to give everyone the same amount of affection even Ravel (through to his opinion she was still to young to do more). The Phenex girl seemed to like the attention he was giving her and he had also noticed that she was kinda close to Asia as the two would spent a lot of time together when the former nun wasn't with the Occult Research Club.
Harry had also grew really close with the little Dhampir Gasper and was still teaching him how to properly use his Scared Gear. The girl-like boy seemed quite attached to Harry as the Dhampir saw him as an older brother… something the young Lord wholeheartedly accepted. He even taught the Dhampir some little tricks he could use on occasion and even better, he introduced Gasper to Blood-flavoured lollipops and the Dhampir would sometimes be handed some whenever he was doing something goods or progressing in using his power.
Harry, ever since he befriended the Dhampir, had bought some of those sweets as he was curious of how it was made. After some experiments in his lab, he managed to recreate them… but could also had flavors ! Now people could enjoy those Blood-flavoured Lollipops… added with another flavor of their choices : chocolate, strawberry, banana…
Of course he had to make sure it was safe for Vampires or any type of creatures who fed on blood so he asked Gasper to taste them… to his surprise, the Dhampir grew fonder of his sweets. With the help of Sirzechs he started to sell his sweets… and got a lot of compliments from them ! The Vampires were the ones who bought those sweets the most, being creatures who fed principally on Blood.
Of course, Harry made sure to stock the money he received in his Vaults to avoid it being robbed by… malevolent people. However, he also made sure to create a Vault for his girlfriend and had asked his account manager, a Goblin named Sharpeye to insert some of his own money in them along with a large portion of what he received from the sweets. Because of him, a certain shop in Diagon Alley lost clients who weren't interested in some of its sweets, especially the blood ones.
Back to present, Harry was enjoying himself but then he felt like he should move a bit and so went back on his feet to take a walk away from the Mansion.
"MIKI !" he called out loudly before reaching the fences.
"Master Harry called for Miki ?" the male House-Elf asked his master after he appeared in thin air with a small 'POP'.
"Yes can you go tell the girls that I will take a walk out for a while ? I don't want them to worry about where I am..." Harry explained to the House-Elf who nodded eagerly
"Of course Master ! Miki will do as you command ! Good walk !" Miki kindly inquired before snapping his fingers and disappearing in a soft 'POP'.
Sighing, Harry then opened the fences before going outside. Closing the fences, the young Lord then walked away from his domain while looking around. He could see people minding their own businesses : kissing, chatting, playing… It was a lovely sight to see. As he passed near the park, he stared at one particular bench with fondness as it was where he met Kuroka a long time ago.
He then walked near Kuoh Academy, his precious school and stared at the building with a soft smile on his face. He had grew to like studying there even if it was annoying to be the constant topic of discussion from the student population. The teachers there were nice and he liked it there. Staring at the school, Harry couldn't help but thanking Muerte for enrolling him there even if it was against his will.
Somewhere, a certain Primordial Deity suddenly felt warm inside and allowed a smile to grace her pretty face as she was wondering why she felt this way.
He didn't know how long he stood there, gazing at the school he attended but when he finally regained his composure; a hour had passed. It was confirmed when he looked at his watch and mentally cursed himself for not watching the time before walking back toward his home as fast as he could.
He didn't wanted to deal with a bunch of angry girls if he could help it but his girlfriends (especially those who RESIDE at home) were really vigilant when it was about him. While they knew he could handle himself, that didn't stopped them for being a bit… overprotective AND possessive. For them, if it wasn't for school or for other serious things, Harry shouldn't stay long out of the Mansion.
At first he had protested against this 'law' but sadly, he was quickly outnumbered and he had no choice but accepting it… even if he didn't LIKED it.
What he didn't know was that Fate had reserved a new challenge for him… a challenge in the form of people from his past.
Back to present, Harry was almost trotting all the way back to his domain and the people around him either stepped away from his path wondering why he was in such a hurry or ignoring him completely. As he passed near the bench he met Kuroka, he made the mistake of looking at his watch and didn't saw the person walking in front of him… A chorus of grunt and groans echoed as he collided against the walker who was trying to get back on his feet.
"I'm sorry… I wasn't looking where I was going..." Harry began to say in English as he rubbed his head in pain.
"Its fine I myself looking where I was… Wait James ?" the newcomer asked him with shock.
Harry blinked when he heard this and looked up to stare at the man he crashed into : it was a tall, well-built, darkly handsome man with fair skin, medium, lustrous black hair and striking grey eyes. The man's physical looked aristocratic but his clothes showed the exact contrary. He didn't LOOKED poor of course but it wasn't the type of clothes a Lord SHOULD wear. He almost wore the same attire than Harry.
"Those eyes… Lily's…" the man whispered softy to himself as he stared at the young Lord with shock and stupor.
Hearing this, Harry blinked at the man before looking at him deep in the eyes. He knew he had saw this man before and went deep in though, looking through his memory to see WHERE he had seen this man. A few seconds later, he froze as his green eyes widened in shock when he finally found where he had seen the man before him. There was only one guy he knew who matched this one perfectly : his godfather Sirius Orion Black.
"Harry ?" The man asked him softy in a voice filled with hope
"Padfoot ?" Harry whispered back in shock as he got a good look at the man whose eyes were slowly watering as he stared back at him.
The two stared at each other for a few seconds… before enveloping each other into a tight embrace, refusing to let the other go. Harry had always wanted to see his godfather again but was wary of going back to Britain after he took his Lordships and didn't wanted to contact the man in case someone from the Wizarding World would spy on him.
"Oh Harry… I can't believe I finally found you… after all those years..." Sirius whispered tearfully as he hugged his godson.
Harry was too emotional to respond as he hugged his godfather. He was just enjoying this moment, his worries about his girlfriends momentarily forgotten as he was only focused on the man hugging him. After more than 16 years, he finally found his godfather… by pure luck.
Now for once he could say it : Thank you Luck !
"Look of how much you've grown…" Sirius remarked softy after the two broke their embrace.
"And you didn't get any wrinkles despise you being an old man..." Harry replied back with a grin which caused the two of them to laugh loudly with humor.
"You rascal ! Come here !" Sirius inquired loudly with a laugh as he grabbed his godson's head under his arm before ruffling his hair affectionately with a fist.
"Padfoot ! Stop it you mutt !" Harry cried out in fake-anger as he shoved the older man aside while laughing.
However, as the two were enjoying each other's company, a new voice echoed from nearby, catching their attention.
"Sirius !"
Turning their heads, godfather and godson saw two people approaching them : the first one was a tall man with a pale face , premature lines, and light brown hair with a hint in them grey. He sported a thin moustache and a rough beard on his face. When the man's smell reached him, Harry stiffened as he recognized the sent. The sent of a creature who attacked him many years ago : a Werewolf. The second person was a young woman with a pale heart-shaped face and dark twinkling eyes who possessed pink short spiky hair.
"Remus !" Sirius called back when the tall man stopped before him
"Padfoot ! What did I told you about running… off..." the tall ma, whose name was apparently 'Remus' began to say to Sirius before his eyes landed on Harry.
Behind him, the pink haired young woman stared at Harry with wide eyes of shock and surprise. Both of them were speechless. Sirius shot them an amused grin before looking back at Harry who was looking at the newcomers suspiciously.
"Harry… Don't you remember him ?"
The green eyed young Lord blinked at his godfather's question before looking carefully at the tall man. As he stared at the guy, Harry was also looking deep in his memory in hope of finding out who the man before him was. And he found it after a minute of research.
"Moony ?" he called out softy and Remus' shocked face turned into an overjoyed one as he pulled Harry into a hug, crying softy.
Harry blinked at first at the sudden action but then slowly hugged the crying man back as he remembered the time Remus would play with him when he was still a defenseless baby. The pink haired woman, for her part, was staring at the scene with a wide smile on her face while Sirius looked just as happy.
Remus, like himself, had spent a lot of time looking for his 'cub' and had traveled all around the world alongside his old friend to look for him… It was always fruitless but now… they finally found him. Remus, who was still hugging Harry, suddenly stiffened when a strange smell came from the boy… no… the young man he was embracing.
"Harry why do you smell like a Lion ?" the Werewolf asked the green eyed young man with a frown of confusion.
Harry tensed when he heard it but then pulled himself away from the man to stare at him with crossed arms.
"And pray tell how can you say that ?" he asked the man with a cold tone.
The three other people flinched at the harsh tone but Remus quickly regained his composure to answer.
"Well… you see..." the guy began to say before being interrupted by the green eyed young Lord in front of him.
"I know you are a Werewolf Moony so please stop stuttering its annoying..." Harry inquired calmly with a roll of his eyes.
Remus blinked in shock as he stared at Harry with wide eyes and behind him, Sirius and the unnamed girl were just as speechless, wondering how he found out.
"How did you-"
"A Magician never reveals his secret you know~" Harry replied back with a grin.
This simple sentence caused Sirius to laugh loudly with humor while Remus rolled his eyes with amusement. The pink haired young woman, for her part, was giggling in equal amusement as she looked at the men.
"Now may I ask what are you all doing here ?" Harry asked them seriously after a moment of hilarity
"We were looking for you !" Sirius answered him with a calm look on his face.
"We spent many years traveling around the world to find you..." Remus added quickly in a soft tone as he gazed at his former friend's son.
"I see… and who is this charming lady ?" Harry asked them as he glanced at the pink haired young woman
"My aren't you a charmer ? My name's Tonks… just Tonks..." the young woman responded with a smile even if she looked dead serious at the end of her sentence.
Harry stared at her with a 'Seriously ?' like look before glancing at the two other men. Remus was giving him pleading look as if he was asking the younger man to not comment on this while Sirius had a grin on his face as he winked at him before saying
"Her name is Nymphadora Tonks Black~" Padfoot said mischievously as he glanced sideways at the pink haired young woman who shot him a dangerous glare which could possibly melt ice.
"DON'T CALL ME NYMPHADORA YOU MUTT !" Tonks cried out angrily to Sirius who laughed loudly as he ducked a slap sent by the enraged girl.
"Nymphadora… Its a gorgeous name…" Harry commented to himself before blinking in surprise when Tonks' face was inches away from his.
"Did you said something ?~" Nymphadora asked him with a sweet tone… too sweet in fact.
"No no no I didn't !" Harry replied back raising his hands to show it.
"Good… It would be a shame to castrate you don't you think ?~" Tonks replied gently with a cold undertone which sent shivers down every men's spines.
Harry laughed nervously as a sweat-drop was seen on the right side of his face while Sirius leaned closer to Remus' ear to whisper as softy as possible
"Your girlfriend sure is scary..."
Remus, at those words, stiffened as his face turned as red as Rias's hair before he looking back at Sirius with an embarrassed glare.
"She is NOT my girlfriend !" the Werewolf retorted sternly but in a soft tone so Tonks wouldn't, hopefully, heard him.
"But deep down you want it don't you Moony ?" Sirius asked his longtime friend with an impish grin.
Remus sighed deeply in annoyance before turning his head away, refusing to answer. He didn't denied or was in agreement with what Sirius just insinuated. Tonks was eying Remus with a saddened look on her face, as she DID hear his comment, and Harry instantly understand that she WANTED him but he either was to blind to see it or was just a complete idiot.
"Anyway I'm sure you didn't came here JUST to find me did you ? I can tell there is something else..." Harry inquired seriously in an attempt to change the subject.
Remus shot him a thankful glance while Sirius and Tonks looked at each other with an unsure look on his face. Harry, him, stood where he was, eying the trio with fierce emerald green eyes. He attempted to use a bit of Legilimency on them but he decided against it : some Wizards were known to have perfect Occlumency so he was still wary of those three.
However, he didn't needed to use Legilimency because just by saying the nervous expressions, he could tell something bad was going to happen … He didn't know why but for some reason he was 100% sure it would be about him ? No surely not… He had nothing left in Great Britain : his 'family' , if you could call them that, saw him as a Squib and would not waste their precious time looking out for him like the rest of the Wizard-kind.
"Well… you are right… there is more..." Remus began to say in a hesitant tone before Sirius took over
"But its best if we can talk about this in private..."
Harry glanced around and saw that there were some people eying them from all around the group.
"Alright… Follow me..." Harry inquired to the three Wizards before heading toward his home.
Sirius, Remus and Tonks glanced at each other for a second before going after him. Harry led them toward Peverell Mansion and the sight of it caught the breathes of the trio following him.
Before he opened the fences, he turned around to face the three Wizards with a cold expression on his face
"I want you to swear on your Magic that you aren't here to bring me back with the Potters ! And I want an oath where you also swear on your Magic that you will tell NO ONE of my whereabouts !"
Remus, Sirius and Tonks seemed startled and shocked by the demands but they agreed
"I, Sirius Orion Black, Head of the Noble and Most Ancient House of Black, swear on my Magic and my life that I am not here to bring my godson back to the Potters and I swear to not tell anyone about his whereabout ! SO MOTE IT BE !"
A glow surrounded Sirius' body before disappearing. His oath had been accepted. Nodding in satisfaction, Harry then turned his head to look at the other two, waiting for them to made their oaths.
"I, Remus Lupin, swear upon my Magic and my life that I am not here to bring Harry Pott-" Remus began to say before being interrupted by the green eyed young Lord
"I am not a Potter : my name now is Harry Peverell Gryffindor Ravenclaw Slytherin Emrys Le Fey !"
The three Wizards in front of him stiffened in shock after those words left his mouth as they all stared at him with wide eyes.
"Alright… I, Remus Lupin, swear upon my Magic and my life that I am not here to bring Harry Perevell Gryffindor Ravenclaw Slytherin Emrys Le Fey back to the Potters and I swear to not tell anyone of his whereabouts ! SO MOTE IT BE !"
Like Sirius before him, a glowing light surrounded Remus's body before disappearing. There was only one oath to make and Harry turned his head to look at the only girl in the group who looked embarrassed as she pulled out her wand
"I, Nymphadora Tonks Black, swear on my Magic and my life that I am not here to bring Harry Peverell Gryffindor Ravenclaw Slytherin Emrys Le Fey back to the Potters and I swear to not tell anyone of his whereabouts ! SO MOTE IT BE !"
Again, a glowing light surrounded the young woman's body for a moment before disappearing. Like the two before her, her oath had been recognized and accepted. Harry clapped his hands with satisfaction before opening the fences to let them inside.
"Harry ? Who owns this place ?" Sirius asked his godson as he followed the younger man inside.
"Huh ? Oh its mine actually…" Harry replied with a nonchalant shrug
The three gaped at him with shock as they stared at him with wide eyes. When they entered the domain, the Wizards all froze when they felt the wards. They were shocked by how powerful they were… more powerful than those at Hogwarts ! Sirius and Remus especially were speechless and were wondering how Harry managed to make them.
Harry, noticing their shocked expressions, chuckled under his breath as he led them toward the Library, the only place he knew they would be in relative peace. However as he entered it, he was still wondering where the girls were as he didn't saw any of them yet… Strange.
Shrugging, he invited his 'guests' to sit on some couches he summoned… much to the shock of the Wizards because he did WANDLESS Magic and Wordless Magic ! But what shocked them the most was fast that he DID Magic as he was supposed to be a SQUIB, a Wizard WITHOUT Magic !
"FANNY !" Harry called out loudly and near him appeared the Female House-Elf with a small 'POP'
"Master Harry called for Fanny ?"
"Yes can you bring us some tea please ?" Harry asked the Elf politely who bowed before disappearing as quickly as possible.
"So what is it you wanted to tell me about ?" Harry asked the three Wizards in front of him with a stern expression on his face.
"Before we answer your question, would you mind if you answer some of ours Harry ?" Sirius asked his godson with hesitation in his voice.
The green eyed young Lord opened his mouth to answer when Fanny appeared with the tea. She served it to the four before leaving with a respectful bow. Harry drank a bit of his tea before looking back at the trio in front of him to answered
"I don't mind… So who starts first ?" he asked them with a raise-brow
"Harry… Can you tell us where you were after the Potters abandoned you ?" Remus asked him with a cringe and a soft growl in his throat.
The young man's stern face turned into a scowl as he literally snarled his answer.
"After Dumbledork persuaded my parents to give me up, he left me on the doorsteps of Number Four Private Drive..."
The three Wizards snorted at the nickname Harry gave to the most powerful person in the Wizarding World but then the men's eyes widened in horror as they stared at him
"Number 4 ?! Private Drive ?! Albus left you with Petunia ?!" Sirius asked his godson with shock and a bit of anger.
Harry nodded with a cold look on his face before adding in an equal tone "For the next few years there, I was abused by the Dursleys… badly… I was beaten, starved, bullied by everyone in this cursed place ! Even the teachers ignored my suffering as everyone in Private Drive listened to Petunia's lies about me being a troublemaker and a delinquent !"
As those words left Harry's mouth, Sirius and Remus felt nothing but pure ANGER at this. Sirius had met Petunia once and he would never forget how terrible she had been toward her own sister and was furious at Albus for leaving his godson with such hateful people. Remus's internal wolf wanted revenge on the Dursley for their treatment toward his cub… a member of his small pack.
"But one day… I was 9 at the time… someone saved me… she helped me to become the man I am today… She gave me hope… I was no longer the 'Freak' of Private Drive… but Lord Harry Peverell Gryffindor Ravenclaw Slytherin Emrys Le Fey..." Harry added with a soft smile on his face as he recalled the memory of that day.
Sirius and Remus, who had both cringed at the word 'Freak' , both smiled with some happiness when they heard this despise the two of them still being FURIOUS about the fact Albus left their cub to Petunia and her despicable family. Tonks seemed heartbroken that the true 'Savior of the Wizarding World' was treated like this… worst than a House-Elf.
"Harry… I… I'm so sorry… I'm sorry for-" Sirius began to say before being interrupted by the young man in front of him.
"Its fine Padfoot… I know you're not responsible for what happened that night 17 years ago...Its all Dumbledork's fault and the Potters' !"
"But Harry how could remember that night ? You were just a baby at the time !" Remus asked him with confusion and a bit of curiosity.
"Let just say I have a good memory…" Harry replied vaguely and Remus, being the intellectual one in the trio instantly understood as his mouth formed a 'o'.
"I see… you have hyperthymesia… "
"Hyper-what ?" Sirius asked him dumbly
"Hyperthymesia is an uncommon ability that allows a person to spontaneously recall a vast number of personal events or experiences !" Tonks responded with an impressive look on her face as she stared at Harry.
"Oh..." was the only thing Sirius managed to say as his mind processed what he just heard.
The other three shot him amused glances before returning back into a serious look to discuss their current situation.
"So Harry… How did you become the Head of all those Houses ?!" Tonks asked the green eyed young Lord with inquisitive eyes.
"The person I told you about helped me to acquired them… We went at Gringotts the following night we met and I cast myself out of the Potter Family… I wasn't a Squib after all..."
Sirius, Tonks and Remus nodded in agreement as they saw him performing Magic before their eyes a few moments ago so he was everything but a Squib like Dumbledore, the Order of the Phoenix or Voldemort's Lackeys believed he was.
"Then I claimed the Lordships my loving parents never claimed : Gryffindor and Peverell from James Potter; and Ravenclaw, Emrys and Le Fey from Lily Potter..."
"What about Slytherin ?" Remus asked the young Lord with a frown as he and the other two didn't understand why he was the Head of the House of Snakes.
"By right of conquest..." was Harry's nonchalant answer.
Sirius sighed deeply as he rubbed his forehead as if he was getting a headache while Remus and Tonks nodded in understanding. But then the Werewolf realized something and looked back at the young man in front of him before asking
"Harry… Isn't Peverell the name of the third brother in the 'Tale of the Three Brothers' ?"
"It is..."
"But how can that be ? Its just a fairy tale !" Sirius and Tonks inquired at the same time before looking at each other "Jinx !"
Harry stared at them blankly for a second before slowly turning his head to look at Remus who was rubbing his head with a hand with exasperation mixed with amusement.
"Are they always like this ?"
"Yes… And sometimes I feel like the only mature one in the group..." Remus responded to Harry with a sigh
"HEY !" Sirius and Tonks cried out at the same time with a pout on their faces after they both heard his little comment about them.
Harry snorted in amusement before becoming serious again "The Three Brothers really existed… even the Deathly Hallows existed… Ignotus Peverell, the youngest brother is my ancestor as a descendant of his merged with someone from the Potter Line..."
Sirius and Tonks, like Remus, were shocked by the revelation and were unable to say anything when Harry started to speak again
"I'm sure you know of James' Invisibility cloak right ?"
"Yes we used it a lot of times when we were students at Hogwarts… It was the good old time…" Sirius responded with a hint of nostalgia as he remembered the time he, Wormtail, Prongs and Moony were still united as one.
"Are you saying that James' old cloak is one of the Hallows ?!" Remus asked Harry once he realized why the young Lord was asking them that.
"It IS one of the Hallows… When I claimed the Lordship of House Peverell, I was able to summon the Hallows as they rightfully belonged to me…" Harry responded with a calm expression and to prove his prove his point, he decided to summon the Hallows right there and then.
First he started with the Invisibility Cloak which surprised the three Wizards as they heard that James lost it a long time ago. Then he summoned the Philosopher Stone which earned shocked gasps from the trio. Apparently, the last owner of the Stone was Nicholas Flamell, Dumbledore's mentor and friend, who died alongside his wife of all age after the two of them lived for a long time.
"The Philosopher Stone…I can't believe it..." Tonks commented as she looked at the little rock in Harry's left hand.
"Now the last one..." Harry began to say as he conjured the stone to summon the last Hallow : the Elder Wand.
"Wait a minute isn't that Dumbledore's wand ?!" Sirius asked his godson in shock as he stared at the stick.
"It is… but now it is mine by right !" Harry replied with a grin as he twisted the wand between his fingers before conjuring it.
Sirius then laughed loudly which caused the other three to look at him with confusion as they didn't understand why he was in such a state of hilarity. For a moment, Lord Black was like this but then he slowly calmed down to look at them once he noticed their confusion.
"You literally took Dumbledore's wand right under his nose ! It is the best prank ever !"
After those words left his mouth, he laughed again and was quickly followed by Harry and Tonks while Remus retained his composure even if he was chuckling himself in amusement as it was indeed hilarious.
He remembered the day he had seen Albus with a new wand and had asked the Old Wizard where was his old one. Dumbledore looked so embarrassed that day as he softy responded that he lost it which was a great shame in Wizard-kind for someone to lost its wand.
After a few moments of laughters, everyone slowly calmed down while trying to catch their breathes. Remus then cleared his throat, ,which caught the others' attention on him, before looking at Harry with a hint of nervousness.
"Harry if you have the Hallows… Does this mean you are… well… the Master of Death ?"
Sirius and Tonks both stiffened at this before looking over at Harry with nothing but pure interest in their eyes. Harry sighed deeply before looking back at the three waiting Wizards with an unsure look on his face.
"Harry we won't judge you if you are… You will still be our cub..." Sirius inquired him gently when he noticed the younger man's hesitation.
"The mutt is right you know… We will always stand by your side no matter what you are ..." Remus added gently , ignoring Sirius's glare, as he looked at the green eyed young Lord who shot the both of them a grateful look before answering
"I am the Master of Death..."
The two men both nodded at him and as they said, none of them looked disgusted or horrified by his answer and instead harbored supportive look on their faces. Tonks was the only one who had a disbelieved look on her face as she looked at Harry with wide eyes of shock.
"Does it meant you can control Death ?" the pink haired young woman asked him with curiosity after a moment of awkward silence.
"Yes… but I also became Immortal in the process..." Harry replied with a nervous chuckle.
His answer caused the three in front of him to gap at him with shock.
"You… cannot die ?" Sirius asked softy to no one in particular as he stared at the ground with disbelief.
"That pretty much the definition of Immortality Padfoot~" Harry cooed to his godfather teasingly who shot him a mock-glare while everyone was laughing with humor… before being joined by Sirius.
"You would be a great Marauder Prongslet !" Sirius remarked out-loud as he laughed but then the atmosphere became tense and cold as the entire room darkened.
Gulping, the three Wizards looked toward where the killing-intent came from and stiffened in fright when they saw Harry's eyes glowing with power as a darkish aura was surrounding his body.
"Don't call me Prongslet ! I am NOT and I will NEVER Be James Potter ! He is NOT my father !" Harry snarled at them in a growl-like voice that sent shivers down their spines.
Remus' inner-wolf was screaming at him to bow to the young man before him but the man was too busy shaking in fright to listen. Sirius was as pale as a ghost while Tonks' pink hair were now as white as her face.
Noticing their scared faces, Harry quickly calmed down and the room returned to it previous state as if nothing happened. Even his eyes stopped glowing and were now at their usually state.
"Sorry about that… its just that I don't like being compared or seen as James Potter..." Harry explained to them as he rubbed the back of his head sheepishly. But they all heard the tone laced with venom when he said the name of his former father.
"Its okay… " Sirius inquired back with a wave of his head as if it was not a big deal.
"Damn it… you're scary when you are angry you know..." Tonks commented once she regained her composure
"I get that a lot..." Harry replied with a small grin which caused the two other men to chuckle.
"Now can you tell who was this person you told us about earlier ?" Remus asked him once he stopped chuckling.
"You wouldn't believe me if I tell you..."
"Oh ? Make us~" Tonks inquired defiantly as she crossed her arms over her cleavage.
"Death..." was Harry's answer.
For a moment, nothing could be heard except silence. Harry had a straight face but internally he was dying of laughter at the sight of three shocked faces in front of him. 5 minutes later, they staid like this… until Sirius snorted.
"Stop pulling our legs Harry will you ? Now can you please tell us who helped you many years ago ? " the Head of House Black asked his godson as it was clear he didn't believed him.
"Hum Padfoot ? I don't think he is joking..." Remus inquired to his longtime friend when he saw how serious Harry looked.
"Huh ?" Sirius blinked before looking over at Harry who really serious and stern as he stared back at them "Wait are you serious ?"
"No that's you Padfoot !" Harry retorted back which caused Remus and Tonks to groan while Sirius laughed loudly.
"Damn it Harry..." Tonks grumbled as she hide her head in her hands while shooting a glare at Harry whose only response was an impish grin.
"Back to topic, Harry… are you saying that Death itself helped you ?" Remus asked the young Lord quickly to avoid another joke/pun.
"I am… she tooks care of me… taught me what she knows… gave me a Familiar… I own her everything..." Harry explained to them with a fond smile
Elsewhere, Muerte, who was leading a spirit to the After-Life, suddenly felt warmth inside her chest and couldn't retain a radiant smile to appear on her face.
"Wait 'she' ? Death is a girl ?!" Sirius asked his godson with disbelief
"Yes why do you ask ?" Harry asked him back with a curious raise-brow even if internally he might have an idea of what his godfather was about to say.
He wasn't disappointed.
"Many always assumed that Death was a male entity ..." Sirius began to answer before Tonks took over
"Why always a man ? Are you secretly implying that girls are inferiors ?!"
Sirius made a peace gesture with his hands as a sweat-drop was seen falling from the right side of his pale head "NO NO Of course not ! I'm just saying what many thought that all !"
"I hope you are because I would gladly report this to Mom if it wasn't the case~" Tonks retorted back in a dark tone which caused Sirius to pale drastically.
Harry gulped in fright as he and Remus glanced at each other as both of them were thinking the same thing "Scary… "
"Why women are so terrifying when pissed out ?!" he screamed into his mind as he remembered all the times his girlfriends were kinda angered about something… mostly about him.
"Anyway you said something about a Familiar ? Can you show it to us ?" Remus asked him in an attempt the change the subject and hopefully help his longtime friend in his predicament.
Harry grinned deviously as he imagined the reaction he would create the moment his familiar would appear in the room and opened his mouth to call out loudly
"HEDWIG !"
Suddenly in a burst of flame, appeared Hedwig in all her glory. She was two room away from the Library as her Burning Day was a week ago. It had been fun to see Ravel's and Asia's shocked faces when Hedwig let herself being consumed by fire but then he remembered the cooing sounds the two blonds made when a baby Phoenix appeared among the ashes.
Back to present, Remus, Tonks and Sirius all gasped when the White Royal Phoenix appeared in the room and they all watched as Hedwig circled them for a moment before landing on a perch near Harry who reached out to her with his right arm to pet her above her head.
"No way… a Royal Phoenix..." Remus mumbled in awe under his breath as he stared at the White Bird who was enjoying the attention she was receiving from her human, completely ignoring the others.
"Damn it… Does it mean you are Light ?" Sirius asked him almost dumbly as everyone knew that Phoenixes were Light Creatures.
"I'm neither Light or Dark… I am Gray ! I know killing is wrong but I'm willing to do it to protect those I love !" Harry replied back sharply and sternly as he glared at the Wizards who openly flinched at the hard tone.
Hedwig, seeing her master's current state, opened her beak to let out a comforting song that quickly calmed him to the point that the glare disappeared completely. Harry smiled warmly at his Familiar before summoning a piece of Bacon… which was instantly consumed by a greedy White Phoenix the second she saw it.
"Isn't that ironic ? The Boy-Who-Lived is not a Golden Boy and a Champion of the Light but a Grey Lord willing to kill !" Tonks remarked with a small chuckle once the shock of the Phoenix's apparition faded.
Instantly, she tensed as she realized what she just said as she clapped a hand on her mouth with wide eyes. Sirius and Remus both stiffened after those words left Tonks' mouth and they glanced at Harry without turning their heads… before paling drastically when they saw his narrowed eyes and the piercing look he was giving the three.
"What are you talking about ? Jacob is the Boy-Who-Lived ! Not me !"
"Well… its what we wanted to discuss with you actually..." Sirius replied with an unsure tone on his face as he feared what would be his godson's reaction at the news.
Harry's eyes narrowed dangerously but a soft thrill from Hedwig calmed him down as he returned back into a much calmer behavior, even if his eyes still showed his true feelings about this.
He didn't said anything and instead just looked at his guests, waiting for them to talk.
The three Wizards looked at each other, unsure of who should announce the bad news to the young man before them as they knew he would SURELY be angered by it. Remus, being the diplomatic one, decided to do it while preparing himself for the lashing he was surely about to receive.
"Harry… a lot of things happened in the Wizarding World recently… the Dark Lord is back and reformed his army of Death-Eaters..."
"And ? Tell me why this concern me ? The Wizarding World and all of England can be burned to the ground for all I care !" Harry snarled at the Wizards who gulped in fright at the reaction while being shocked by the lack of sympathy Harry was showing right now.
"A few months ago, in the Department of Mysteries, there was a battle between the Order of the Phoenix and Voldemort's Death-Eaters… The Dark Lord wanted to retrieve something in there… a prophecy concerning him and the 'Chosen One'…" Remus explained as calmly as possible before being interrupted by Harry
"I already know of this prophecy of yours : 'The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approaches... born to those who have thrice defied him, born as the seventh month dies... and the Dark Lord will mark him as his equal, but he will have power the Dark Lord knows not... and either must die at the hand of the other for neither can live while the other survives...' "
Sirius, Remus and Tonks froze in stupor as they stared at him with shock : they weren't prepared for this. None of them thought that he would somehow knew of the prophecy as he weren't in England for YEARS ! Seeing that they were to shocked to speak, Harry reopened his mouth add in a harsh tone
"But this prophecy is fake ! Its nothing more than a piece of crap made by some fake people just to get attention!"
The three Wizards ,again, flinched at the harsh tone but they couldn't help but being in agreement as Sybill Trelawney, the woman who 'made' the prophecy was anything but a sane person. But she did predicted Pettigrew's escape a long time ago so maybe she wasn't a total fake.
"Why do you think the prophecy is fake ?" Tonks asked him with some curiosity even if deep down she was a bit nervous.
"Is your prophecy made from the Pythia of Delphi ?" Harry asked her back with a stern look on his face which Hedwig mirrored
"Huh… No…" Nymphadora replied in a soft tone as she glanced at the two mature men beside her
"Then it IS fake… Only the prophecies coming from the Pythia are true..." Harry replied with a shrug before drinking a bit of tea
"Damn it its cold..." he softly commented as he drank the last remaining of the tea.
"Who is the Pythia ?" Sirius asked him out-loud as he frowned in confusion.
Harry opened his mouth to answer but it was Remus who answered him
"She is the High Priestess of the Temple of Apollo at Delphi in Greece… She is an oracle in short..."
"I see… But about Seers ?" Sirius asked his longtime friend with a raise-brow as for him, Seers and Oracles were the same things.
"Seers are supposedly people who had the ability to see into the future with their 'Inner Eye' as they called it… Its just a bunch of charlatans the all of them !" Harry hissed with disgust as if he was talking about some trashes.
Again, Hedwig thrilled again to calm her human who shot her a warm smile before petting her soft feathers, earning a soft coo-like sound from the Noble White Bird who nuzzled his hand affectionately in return of the attention.
"Regardless, the Wizarding World ,especially Dumbledore and the Dark Lord, thinks it is a true Prophecy and expect the Chosen One to defeat the Death-Eaters..." Remus added quickly to change the subject as it was obvious that Harry had a dislike of 'fortune tellers'.
"Again what does it have to do with me ?" Harry asked the Werewolf in an impatient tone as he glared at the trio. He had a bad feeling about this all of a sudden.
Remus glanced at his fellow Wizards before taking a deep breath to answer as calmly as possible.
"Harry… there were the name of the People concerned : yours and Voldemort..." he cringed when he said the Dark Lord's name.
"WHAT ?!" Harry jumped on his feet with a look of fury on his face as the room around them started to darken again.
"I AM NOT AND I WILL NEVER BE BRITAIN'S LITTLE SAVIOR ! AS I SAID, THEY CAN ALL ROT IN HELL FOR ALL I CARE !" Harry snarled in a furious growl-like tone as his eyes glowed with power and his body slowly enveloped itself with shadows.
"I know ! We came here to warn you that now the whole Wizarding World is looking for you !" Sirius quickly explained as he looked at his godson with a serious expression (no pun intended).
"HOW DARE THEY ?! THEY ABANDONED ME TO HELL ON EARTH AND NOW THEY EXPECT ME TO SAVE THEIR PATHETIC ASSES ?! WHO DOES THEY THINK THEY ARE ?! " Harry screamed again with nothing but pure rage as somewhere else in the Mansion, the House-Elves were cowering in fear.
Hedwig herself wasn't enchanted by the news. She knew what the Wizard of Britain did to her human and she wanted nothing more that to skin them alive for hurting her little master. However, she knew that being angry won't solve anything so she instantly nuzzled her human on the hand while thrilling softy in a comforting manner.
To her relief, her 'charm' seemed to work as Harry was slowly calming down but was still glaring daggers at the Wizards as if they were responsible for this. Sirius and Remus, along with Tonks, wisely decided to let him calm down as they knew that if they dared to say something else, it would only anger the young man even more.
What about Harry ? Well in short he was furious… For years he had tried EVERYTHING to not even think about England the cursed place he had lived for the first years of his life and now people who WILLINGLY left him want him back to save them ?! Curse them all ! He will show them who he really is !
Internally, he was cursing whatever duty for doing this to him as again Fate and/or Luck showed him how much they hated his guts. All he wanted was a peacefully life here in Japan without having to think about his birth country or the people who wronged him… but again he hoped for nothing.
Looking at the three Wizards in front of him, Harry felt bad for taking his anger at them like that and so decided to at least apologize for his action as it was not proper for a young man like him to do such things
"I'm sorry… for… well… this..." Harry mumbled with a deep sigh as he rubbed the back of his head.
"Its alright cub… We can understand…" Sirius gently replied as he pulled the younger man into a comforting embrace which was quickly joined by Remus.
"We will be there for you Harry… All you need to do is asking…" the Werewolf added in a gentle tone as he hugged the younger man alongside Sirius.
Behind them the three were unaware of Tonks who was taking pictures with her phone with stars in her eyes. Wait WHAT ?!
"Thank you…" Harry inquired to the two men with a thankful smile before his expression turned serious again " Now I have to warn some friends of mine about this..."
Sirius and Remus looked at each other for a moment before nodding : it would be wise indeed. If a Death-Eater or one of the member of the Order found their cub's friends, it wouldn't take long for them to find him and bring him back in England !
"Harry… We have something else to tell you..." Remus began to say with hesitation
"What is it Moony ?"
"Well… Dumbledore and Cornelius, the Minister of Magic, both ordered their minions to bring you back at all cost… and to not hesitate to use strength if necessary..." Sirius replied with a growl in his throat as he recalled what he heard from a spy of his.
Harry growled alongside his godfather while Hedwig thrilled with anger as her entire body surrounded itself with white flame clearly showing her feelings for those Wizards.
"Tsk I always thought English Wizards were idiots ! No offense..." Harry began to say before glancing at Sirius and Remus apologetically
"None taken !" They both said at the same time in perfect synchronization before blinking at each other in surprise. A sigh that caused Harry and Tonks to laugh loudly with humor.
"So what now ?" Harry asked the trio after a moment of pure hilarity.
"Well… we were here mostly to warn you so… maybe we can just go back to England..." Remus replied with incertitude as he rubbed the back of his head.
"Come on Moony ! We just find him after all those years and you already want to leave him again ?!" Sirius inquired his longtime friend with a mock-glare, which caused the Werewolf to roll his eyes at him with amusement.
"So Harry… How is your life here in Japan ? Any friends ? Or maybe a girlfriend ?~" Sirius asked his godson who didn't have time to answer as a certain Werewolf stepped in.
"PADFOOT !" Remus cried out at his friend who shot him a raise-brow of confusion
"What ? What did I say ?" the Head of House Black asked with confusion as he looked back at his longtime friend.
In the background, Tonks was grumbling about how Sirius was such an idiot while Harry was chuckling with pure amusement with Hedwig shaking her head, wondering how someone could be so stupid.
"Its alright Moony ! To answer you Padfoot, life was pretty good here in Japan until you came here to announce me those news ! Yes I have a large bunch of friends and yes I have girlfriends…" Harry replied to his godfather who blinked at the last part.
"Huh Harry don't you mean girlfriend ?" Tonks asked him in hope she heard him right.
"I mean what I said… girlfriends..." The green eyed young Lord replied back with a grin.
"How many ?" Sirius asked with disbelief before he received a punch on the top of his head by Remus "OW ! MOONY ! "
The Werewolf grinned at him before looking back at Harry when the young man answered his godfather's question "Seven..."
"I'm so proud of you !" Sirius cried out in joy as he hugged his godson as tight as he could.
In the background, Remus gaped at Harry with shock unable to say a word while Tonks slapped her face with a hand, grumbling something about 'hormonal teenagers'.
"Of course you are you dirty mutt !" Harry replied back teasingly before punching his godfather's shoulder playfully.
"How can you be proud of this Sirius ?! Harems are illegal !" Tonks hissed to Sirius who flinched before looking back at Harry with disapproval.
"Maybe in the Western Part of the World yes… but its fairly common in the Easter Part… especially in the Supernatural World..." Harry replied to the young woman with a shrug.
"Supernatural World ?" Tonks asked him with a raise-brow of confusion while Sirius and Remus seemed just as confused.
Harry shot the trio a blank look : are Wizards THAT ignorant of the rest of the World ? Sighing deeply, the green eyed young Lord looked back at them with a calm expression as he explained softy
"The Supernatural World is a vast and ancient world whose existence predates time itself ! It is where mythological beings such as Gods, Devils, Fallen Angels, Angels, Dragons, and various otherworldly creatures resided ! Like the Wizarding World, the Supernatural World is hidden from Humanity !"
Remus, Sirius and Tonks were speechless as none of them knew the existence of the Supernatural World. However, the Werewolf had more questions
"How do you know this Harry ?" he asked the green eyed young man with interest.
"I have a good teacher… That and my friends and girlfriends are everything but humans…." Harry responded with a grin on his face as he looked at the Werewolf.
"I see..." Remus mumbled in astonishment as he shot a glance toward Sirius who returned it before looking at his godson
"What are your girlfriends ? I'm just curious..."
Harry shot him an amused raise-brow before answering nonchalantly "Let's see : there are Ophis and Tiamat, both of them are Dragons… Akeno and Serafall are Devils… Raynare is a Fallen Angel… Gabriel is an Angel…and Yasaka is a Kitsune..."
Sirius, Remus and Tonks (again) were speechless as they stared at Harry with gaping mouthes. After a moment of silence, the Head of House Black shook his head to regain his composure before looking back at his godson.
"As long as you are happy cub… I don't care who you are with..." Sirius said gently before pulling the younger man into a hug which Harry returned wholeheartedly.
"Thank you Padfoot...you are the best..." the green eyed young Lord whispered to his godfather as he hugged him tightly.
"I know I am cub…" Sirius whispered back with a hint of arrogance which caused the both of them to chuckle with amusement.
The two then pulled away from each other, smiling, and Harry turned his head toward Remus and Tonks who smiled back at him. Harry now knew that he had their supports and he was thankful for that as they were the only Wizards he could trust at the moment.
After that the three of them chatted with each other, telling stories or speaking about Magic, and Harry was enjoying his time with his godfather and Remus as they were the only people in the Wizarding World you care about him while Tonks was kinda friendly to hang out with and it was clear she had an attraction toward Remus, which caused Harry to grin at the Werewolf as he now had a reason to tease him.
The Danger that was the Wizarding World was momentarily forgotten as they were busy enjoying each other's company
/(Time Skip)/
"Are you sure you don't want us to meet your girls before we leave Harry ?" Sirius asked his godson as he, Remus, Tonks and Harry were standing in front of the Mansion's fences.
"So you can flirt with them ? Not a chance you perverted mutt !" Harry replied affectionately to his godfather who pouted like a child as beside him, Tonks and Remus laughed with humor.
It had been 2 hours since they entered the place and Harry was still wondering where were his girls as they weren't in the domain. He just assumed that they went out shopping or something. The English Wizards told him of everything that happened since that night Voldemort attacked Godric' Hollow.
Harry had shrugged in indifference at the most part but had been angry when Sirius told him how the Wizarding World reacted when the Head of House Black told the Daily Prophet how Dumbledore and the Potters abandoned a defenseless child. Just by saying this, Sirius had showed Harry another reason to dislike the Wizards and Witches of England.
However, he had kept his composure as Sirius and Remus told him what his brother Jacob Potter became because of his fame and Harry had felt nothing but disgust and pity. He had hoped that his twin wouldn't turn like their parents but he was proven wrong. Apparently, Jacob was the exact contrary of him : arrogant, narcissistic, hot-headed… He had been acting like everyone owned him… until the events of the Department of Mysteries.
Since then, the Potters had suffered greatly and their prestige fell drastically because of the fact they abandoned the TRUE Savior of the Wizarding World. They had been shunned by their peers and only a few still stood by their side, mostly the member of the Phoenix, a group of vigilantes created by Dumbledork during the last war against Voldemort and his Death-Eaters.
Harry had laughed at the name asking why it was called as such and had snorted with disdain when Tonks told him that it was in honor of Fawkes, Dumbledore's Phoenix and his Familiar. Hedwig had huffed in disgust at hearing that one of her own kind would chose such a man as his master and wanted to claw his eyes out.
Remus then had told him about his mother Lily and her situation. Ever since she consented in abandoning him, she hadn't been the same. Many people who knew her had remarked that not ONCE did she gave a genuine smile… ever since that fateful night, the only smiles she gave were forced ones. In addition, she didn't have any authority over Jacob as it was mostly James who spoiled him rotten.
Apparently not once did his twin got scolded when he did something bad as James thought that his 'beloved' and perfect son would do anything wrong and each time Lily tried to discipline him, he would instantly step in to scowl his wife instead for 'her bad behavior'.
In short, Lily was a shadow of herself… She had no authority in her family despise being Lady Potter and her own son had no respect for her. She and James' relationship had severed greatly over the years following the attack on Godric' Hollow but recently it became worse as now James himself, like Lily, wanted his eldest son to be found after being the one who wanted to abandon him in the first place.
Harry, hearing this, felt a pang of sympathy for his mother as he remembered that she HAD been against giving him away and only did it in promise of him being safe from Death-Eaters… It was a stupid choice to listen to Dumbledore's words but he couldn't hold a grudge against her for that : she had given him up to protect him as they all thought he was nothing more than a mere Squib.
He had asked the trio why no helped her and he nodded as he understood the reason : no one forgiven her for abandoning her own child. Even Severus, who had been her long time friend, cut all ties with her and since then had acted cold toward her but Remus confessed that one day he DID see the sadness in the Professor's eyes.
Tonks then asked him what he will do about the Wizarding World and he responded that he would at first discuss this with his friends before doing anything. Since they told him everything, he thought it was fair for him to do the same. Imagine their faces when they heard that he was in good therms with Lord Lucifer of the Underworld and Michael from Heaven ! Tonks had some knowledge about Christians and their belief thanks to her father who was once a believer.
After two hours, Remus thought it was time for them all to leave. Apparently, they had to take a plane in a few hours as they didn't thought they would see him here in Japan. They were in the country for a total of Five days and Tonks apparently hadn't stopped gushing at everything she saw. Harry had joked that he knew someone who was a Japanophile as well… which was true as Rias WAS like that.
Now here they were in front of Peverell Mansion's fences, saying goodbyes.
"Maybe you're right cub… or should I call you Whiskers ?~" Sirius inquired to his godson teasingly
"Padfoot I love you but if you call me Whiskers ONE MORE TIME I will make sure you won't have any children !" Harry menaced him with a dark grin on his face
The Head of House Black gulped in fright as he took a step back with a pale face while the other two Wizards were amused by his predicament.
Harry had told them about him being a Nemean Lion Animagus (of course he had told them that he could change into a Were-Lion as well) and Sirius thought he should be given a nickname like the Marauders did : Sirius was Padfoot because of he was a Grim Animagus ; Remus was called Moony because of his 'furry-little-problem'; Peter was Wormtail because he was a rat (which was fitting for traitor like him) and James was Prongs because he was a Stag.
They took a few minutes to give him a nickname : Harry wanted to name himself 'Simba' because it was his favorite character in the Lion King Disney movie but Tonks decided to name him Whiskers instead. Tonks's idea was loved by the three English Wizards but Harry found it humiliating so he was totally AGAINST the suggestion.
"You had it coming Padfoot…" Remus commented softy as he shot a glance toward his longtime friend who shot him a glare that caused the Werewolf to smile innocently.
"It was great to meet you 'Whiskers' ! Hope to see you again !" Tonks inquired to Harry as she patted the top of his head.
"I already chose my nickname so at least use it !" Harry inquired her with a glare as he pushed her hand away from his head.
"Yes but Whisker is cuter~!" Tonks responded back with a coo-like sound which caused him to groan in annoyance.
Nymphadora (Don't-Call-me-that) Tonks Black was a nice and gentle young woman but damn it she could be REALLY annoying when she wants to be… In short she was perfect for Remus ! Yes Sirius told him about how Tonks loved Remus who thought deserved anything because he was… well… a Werewolf. Which was simply STUPID !
"I hate you Nymphadora !" Harry hissed at her playfully before ducking when the pink haired young woman tried to punch him
"DON'T CALL ME NYMPHADORA !" the Metamorphmagus screamed at him with a red face of anger
"Then don't call me Whiskers !"
Nymphadora pouted at him before turning around to look away with her arms crossed above her cleavage. She liked the nickname she chose for him but it seemed that Harry wasn't sharing her opinion on this. She would understand it as herself HATED her first name. Seriously who in their right mind would call their daughter Nymphadora ?!
"Fine ! 'Simba' !" Tonks grumbled between her teeth but it was loud enough for the green eyed young Lord to hear.
"There we go ! It wasn't so hard was it ?" Harry asked her with an impish grin on his face which caused the young woman to glare at him in response.
Sirius and Remus watched the exchange with amused smiles on their faces. It was good that Harry was taking a liking to Tonks who had been ostracized most of her life because of her Metamorphmagus abilities.
"Now do me a favor and shag this guy will you ?" Harry asked her crudely as he used a finger to point at Remus who gaped at him with shock while Tonks blushed madly… but made no attempts to reject the offer.
"HARRY !" The Werewolf screamed in embarrassment with a mad blush on his face while beside him, Sirius couldn't stop laughing madly… which prompted Remus to glare daggers at him.
"Excellent one Harry !" the Head of House Black cried out to his godson before the two of them briefly exchanged a high five, much to the annoyance of the other two.
"Seriously Moony… You like her… She likes you ! SO what are you waiting for to date her ?! An invitation ?!" Harry asked the Werewolf who stopped glaring at Sirius to stare at him.
"But-" Remus began to protest but was interrupted by the green eyed young Lord before him.
"And don't give me that crap 'I'm a Werewolf I'm a Monster' ! Your transform only ONCE every months !" Harry hissed at him with a roll of his eyes.
Remus wanted to protest but seeing the stares he was receiving from both Sirius and Harry… he sighed deeply in defeat as it was a two against one match. Tonks was watching Remus with a hint of hope in her eyes as she DID loved the man but he was too stubborn to realize it or just to obsessed by the idea of him being a Monster who didn't deserved happiness.
"Alright… I will try..." Remus said softy but it wasn't loud enough for Tonks to hear so Harry decided to… motivated him a bit.
"What did you say Moony ? I didn't hear you~" Harry inquired him sweetly but with a mischievous grin on his face.
"I SAID I WILL TRY DAMN IT !" Remus screamed loudly with a red face before freezing once he realized that he had been fooled thanks to Sirius and Harry shooting him triumphant looks.
Tonks was also blushing but in her eyes, you could clearly see the happiness burning in them and she was also clapping her hands with enthusiasm… At the moment she looked more like a teenager than a young woman who was supposed to be 8 years older than Harry.
"Its time to go !" Remus inquired as quickly as he could in an attempt to change the subject which caused his fellow men to pout in disappointment as they were having fun while Tonks nodded in agreement even if deep down, she wanted to stay a bit more.
"Indeed… I would love to stay more here but we cannot…" Sirius sighed deeply as his shoulders slumped slightly.
"Yes I have to go back to work..." Tonks replied back with fake tear-drops falling from her eyes as she sighed in disappointment.
Harry shot her a look of pure sympathy : Tonks was an Auror and so had to be there for her country. Amelia Bones, the Head of the Department of Magical Law Reinforcement (Aurors), allowed her to go with Sirius on his trip to Japan as a vacation. Sirius had also played a role in this and he literally begged Amelia to allow him to take Nymphadora with him… which had earned him a nasty hex by the Auror-in-training.
"Its okay guys I understand… You have your life there in the backward country you call England… I will miss you..." Harry inquired to the group with a gentle but pained smile which earned him a group hug in response.
Remus' and Sirius' eyes were watering slightly as their hearts clenched a bit at the thought of leaving the cub they just found again but they knew it was necessary : if they weren't back soon in the Wizarding World, then people would be suspicious or worse, thinking that they managed to find the missing Boy-Who-Lived !
"We will miss you too cub..." Sirius and Remus whispered at the same time.
They embraced the green eyed young Lord one last time before stepping away from him with tearful eyes. Harry then received a goodbye kiss from Tonks (on the forehead, not on the lips) before taking her place with her fellow Wizards.
"Let's go…" Remus inquired to the group before leading them away from the Mansion with Harry waving at them from his spot near the fences.
Sirius then stopped in his track to look back at Harry before shouting loudly "Send us a message if you need us !"
"I WILL ! PROMISE !" Harry screamed back as he waved his right hand at them with tearful eyes as he watched his godfather who shot him one last smile before he and the other two left the scene, leaving him behind.
Harry watched the spot where the trio disappeared with a heavy heart as tears were falling down his cheeks. After all, he just meet his godfather after so long… only to see him leaving along with his honorable uncle, Remus Lupin. Now here he was… all alone and looking at where they disappeared as a part of him wished them to come back so they could stay with him.
He didn't know how long he stood there but then he heard someone calling out for him
"Harry-kun !"
Turning his head, Harry saw Tiamat and Raynare in their human forms approaching him with bags in their hands. At first the Fallen Angel had been 'forced' to stay in the domain but as the time passed, Harry allowed her to go out whenever she wanted to as he grew to trust her (mainly because she became one of his girlfriends).
But then he saw two other figures he had not seen for a long time : the familiar form of Yasaka and her daughter Kunou ! What were they doing here ?! Actually scratch that… It was EASY to guest WHY they were here.
"Hey girls..." Harry greeted them with a smile but it was clear it was forced and he quickly used a hand to wipe out the tear-marks on his face.
"Harry-kun are you alright ? You don't look good..." Tiamat asked him with a concerned look on her face as she putted the bags down to caress his face with a hand.
"I'm fine…" Harry tried to deny but then he saw the girls (Kunou included) narrowed their eyes at him, clearly stating they didn't believed him.
"Harry-kun if I were you I would tell us the truth !" Raynare inquired him with her hands on her hips and her eyes locked in his in a serious manner.
The green eyed young Lord hesitated as he glanced back and forth between the four females ( three women and one girl) in front of him : all of them looked concerned for him and Kunou… well being a kid was giving him the most adorable expression which broke his attempt to lie to them.
Sighing deeply, Harry then looked back at the older women before answering in a sad tone "Something happened today…"
"What is it ?" Tiamat asked him with a serious frown on her face. She hated, like the other girls, to see her mate unhappy.
"We will talk about this inside…" Harry promised them before looking at the Kitsunes without giving them a chance to answer
"Welcome Lady Yasaka at Peverell Mansion ! You too Kunou-chan !"
He was or sounded a bit more happy now but Yasaka's face turned dark as she glared at him
"Harry… What did I told you to call me ?~" The Leader of the Youkai Faction asked him calmly but with an undertone that sent shivers down his spine
"I'm sorry ! I forgot ! Welcome Okaasan !" Harry quickly replied in hope that it would calm her down… which succeeded.
"Good boy~" Yasaka retorted motherly as she patted his left cheek with her right hand as if she was complimenting a child for good behavior.
Harry blushed at the action and shot a dangerous glare toward Raynare and Tiamat who was trying their best to hide their amusement. Before he had the chance to scowl them, he suddenly blinked when a smaller figure appeared in thin air in front of him… before hugging his waist
"I missed you Oniisan..." Kunou whispered softy as she hugged him tightly.
"I missed you too kiddo~" Harry replied back affectionately as he patted the top of her head like he would do with a dog… which caused Kunou's tails to wag like a dog's.
The women all cooed at the scene before Yasaka cleared her throat to regain her composure. While she came here to see Harry's domain (and him in particular), she was still wondering what made him so sad as her maternal instinct was screaming at her to find answers.
"Harry-kun… Sorry to break this touching moment but… can you lead us inside please ?" The Kitsune inquired to the green eyed young Lord who instantly looked back at her sheepishly
"Oh ! Of course ! You must be tired for the travel ! Please come in !" Harry inquired gently as he gently pushed Kunou away from him (which caused the younger Kitsune to pout at him in response) before opening the fences to let everyone inside.
As he lead them in the Mansion, Yasaka and Kunou couldn't help but staring around with amazement as the place was really beautiful inside and out. Tiamat and Raynare went to their respective rooms with their bags in hands while Harry showed the two Kitsunes where they could sleep from now on. It was a normal bedroom with a wardrobe, a large size bed etc…
"Thank you Harry-kun… Now… Can you tell your Okaasan why were you so sad earlier ?~" Yasaka asked him with maternal concern as she looked at him while Kunou gave him an adorable look of worry as the younger Kitsune was concerned for her Oniisan.
"I will but first I must reunite all my friends and girlfriends as quickly as possible..." Harry replied in a serious tone as he looked at the Leader of the Youkai Faction.
"May I ask why ?" Yasaka asked him with a frown on confusion. She had a bad feeling about this.
"Troubles are ahead… and this time it is not with Fallen Angels or some Magicians..." Harry replied quietly with a sigh of annoyance.
All he wanted was a peaceful life with his friends and family here in Japan… CURSE YOU LUCK ! CURSE YOU FATE !
"I see…" Yasaka mumbled back seriously as she didn't liked where this was going.
"HEDWIG !" Harry called out loudly and his Familiar appeared in a burst of white flames, surprising the Kitsunes who was shocked by the Phoenix's arrival.
"Girls I need your help !" Harry inquired to the Noble Bird ignoring the Kitsunes at the moment as he quickly wrote something on a little piece of paper he summoned with his magic.
Then he attached the paper on Hedwig's right talon before saying hurriedly "Go look for Sirzechs and Serafall ! Give them the message and then go see Gabriel ! I will give you a pile of Bacons if you do that for me girl~"
Hedwig thrilled with determination and a hint of gluttony in her amber eyes at the prospect of eating a PILE of Bacons, her favorite treats ! The Noble Bird then disappeared in a burst of fire as quickly as she came.
Harry watched the spot where his familiar left before turning his head to look at Yasaka, Kunou, Tiamat and Raynare who just entered the room.
"So Serafall was right… You did own a Phoenix..." the Leader of the Youkai Faction whispered in awe as she looked at the green eyed young man (her unofficial lover) while Kunou was staring with her Oniisan with stars in her eyes. Tiamat and Raynare, however, were concerned : if Harry used his Familiar to send a message then it must be important.
"MIKI !" Harry called out loudly and the male House-Elf appeared in a 'POP' like sound
"Master Harry called for Miki ?"
"Yes I want you to go look for Asia and tell her I want to see her and all our friends at Kuoh at the Mansion !" the green eyed young Lord responded in a calm tone, ignoring the others present.
"And if she ask why Master ?" Miki asked him as he seemed eager to obey him.
"Tell her its really important..." Harry replied back seriously and the House-Elf, seeing this, nodded in understanding before disappearing in a soft 'POP'.
"Harry-kun what's going on ?!" Raynare asked him with a serious look as she had her hands on her hips once the Elf was out of sight.
"I will explain everything once everyone is there..." Harry replied back somberly which worried the girls even more as they were wondering what was going on to cause the handsome young man to be like this.
/(Time Skip)/
"Why did you called us Harry ?" Rias asked the young Lord as she and her Peerage sat around the large table that was usually used for lunch or dinner.
Beside the Occult Research Club, there were also Gabriel the Seraph, Irina the Reincarnate Angel, Sona and her Peerage, Sirzechs Lucifer, Serafall Leviathan, Tiamat, Raynare, Ravel, Yasaka, Kunou, Muerte, Ophis and Kuroka.
Hedwig had returned a few moments ago with Sirzechs and Serafall, the two of them intrigued and concerned for Harry when they both received his message. The White Bird then disappeared for a few moments before reappearing with Gabriel who, upon entering Peverell Mansion, completely ignored her surrounding in favor of 'scanning' Harry for any injuries.
Harry had calmed the trio saying that he was fine but had to tell them something important. Sirzechs had asked him what it was but the green eyed young Lord only replied that he will answer them once everyone was present.
He then called his honorable Aunt who was happy to hear about him again but then he asked her to go look for Ophis as it was urgent. Muerte instantly knew by her nephew's tone that something was not right and went to retrieve Ophis who was all to eager to see what her beloved mate wanted.
At the same time, Sona, Rias and their respective Peerages appeared in the room with the help of Miki. Upon seeing him, Akeno, Koneko, Asia and Kuroka (who was with her sister) instantly asked him if he was okay and he responded by leading everyone to the dining room before inquiring them to seat… which they did, curious about why Harry wanted to see them all.
"I thank you all for coming here ! I'm sure all of you want answers about why I called you all here..." Harry began to say once everyone was settled, completely ignoring Rias' question.
"YES !" They all responded at the same time… which caused them to blink at each other in surprise.
Chuckling a bit, Harry then cleared his throat so everyone's attention was on him again before saying
"If I called you here its because I have been informed of something… disturbing..."
"Please don't tell me its about Fallen Angels again..." Issei inquired him in an almost pleading tone.
"Don't worry mate its not about those stupid Crows this time… No offense Raynare..." Harry said the last part while looking at the Fallen Angel in question
"None taken..." Raynare replied with a shrug as it was indeed a bit true.
"So what is this new source of trouble ?" Sona asked him as she readjusted her glasses as she harbored a serious expression on her face.
"Wizards…." was Harry's somber answer.
Everyone blinked at the cold tone he used but they were also intrigued and shocked about the revelations. Muerte's eyes narrowed as she looked at her nephew-in-all-but-blood before crossing her arms and saying calmly
"Tell me they are NOT from Britain..."
"I'm sorry Auntie… but they are..." Harry replied with a scowl on his face and Muerte's expression darkened as she snarled in disgust. She had never forgiven nor forgotten what those despicable people did to her cute little nephew/master.
The others noticing their expressions couldn't help but feeling sympathetic toward Harry : all of them knew of the young Lord's past and what those Wizards did to him. They wanted to find the people who wronged their friend/boyfriend to teach them a lesson they would never forget but Harry convinced them to not do it.
"Harry how do you know this ?" Rias asked him with a curious raise-brow which caused the green eyed young man to look at her before answering calmly
"Earlier today, I went out for a walk and on my way back, I bumped into someone… someone I thought I would never see again…"
"Who ?" Sirzechs asked him with curiosity as he frowned slightly
"My godfather Sirius Black..." Harry answered with a soft smile on his face.
"Really ? That's good !" Issei replied with a smile as he remembered, like everyone present, that Sirius was member one of the few people from Britain who gave a damn about Harry.
"Yes it was… He was with tho other people Remus Lupin and Nymphadora Tonks… She doesn't like to be called by her first name though..." Harry replied with a chuckle at the last part.
"I wonder why..." Kiba mumbled under his teeth but it was loud enough for Tsubaki, his girlfriend, to hear him as she shot him a small amused grin.
"What happened next ?" Serafall asked him with a serious look on her usual playful face.
Harry took a deep breath before using his magic to summon his Pensieve. Sirzechs, Serafall and Kuroka, who already seen the artifact, didn't looked surprised by his apparition while the others were if their wide eyes was any indication.
"This is a Pensieve… an artifact used by Wizards to review someone's memory… I used it to help a certain Nekoshou with black hair~" Harry explained to the assistance before smirking at Kuroka who blushed slightly as he was in fact talking about her while everyone stared at the Pensieve with shock and amazement.
"Moooou Harry-kun stop embarrassing me nya~" the Black haired Nekoshou inquired softy to the young Lord who chuckled at her before looking back at the others present.
"Can It really review memories ?" Rias asked Harry with stars in her eyes but before the green eyed young Lord could answer, Sirzechs stepped in
"It can Rias… Harry-kun presented it to me and I saw first hand how it worked… I'm still thinking about buying it by the way..." he said the last part to Harry who sighed
"And I tell you again that Pensieves are extremely rare and beside only I can use it in this room !" the young Lord replied to the Mau Lucifer who pouted like a child but nodded in understanding.
Harry then summoned the Elder Wand before pressing its tip against his temple before slowly pulled the tip away. The assistance, minus Sirzechs and Kuroka, gasped in shock when when they saw a long, silver strand pulled away from Harry's temple. Kunou, Asia and Ravel, along with Rias, Sona and some more were intrigued by this branch of Magic and stared at this with stars in their eyes.
Smiling in amusement at their shocked/amazed faces, Harry then lowered his wand above the Pensieve, letting the silvery substance falling into it. The second the substance made contact with the Pensieve's inside, it glowing in a silvery light which looked cloud-like, and was moving ceaselessly like waves.
"There the memory is placed..." Harry inquired with a sigh as he faced the assistance before adding "Now you can review what happened earlier and what had been said as well…"
"How do we-" Issei began to ask before being interrupted by Harry
"Just place a finger in the Pensieve and said 'Play'..."
Nodding, They all lowered a finger toward the Pensieve but seeing that it was to small for everyone to see it at the same time, Harry decided to make groups :
-The first one will be constituted of Raynare, Kuroka, Tiamat, and Ophis
-The second will be composed of the youngest ones : Gasper, Ravel, Asia, Koneko and Kunou.
-The third group : Rias and her peerage (Minus Koneko and Asia) with the addition of Irina.
-Fourth group : Sona and her peerage
-Fifth group was composed of Sirzechs, Serafall, Yasaka and Muerte.
One by one, each group stepped close to the Pensieve and reviewed Harry's memory. In the end, once everyone had seen it, the air was filled with many dark emotions : anger and disgust were the dominant ones on the list.
"How dare they ?!" Raynare cried out in pure anger as around her, everyone voiced their agreement.
"They want him to save them after they ABANDONED him ?! Who does they think they are ?!" Sona snarled as her normally calm expression was now filled with anger.
"WHAT BUNCH OF BASTARS !" Issei hissed with disgust as he stood beside Rias who looked LIVID.
Koneko and Kuroka were hissing furiously as their pupils were turned into slits and Yasaka looked just as angry as her tails wagged furiously behind her just like her daughter Kunou. Sirzechs and Serafall were disgusted by those Wizards' behavior but also angry that they would use a child they abandoned just for some prophecy who might really well be fake. Muerte was shaking her head with disgust as her already low opinion on Wizards dropped even more.
But no one were as LIVID as Harry's girfriends ! They all wanted nothing more than to find Albus Dumbledore to skin him alive or razing the Wizarding World to ashes.
"Now you understand why I called you here… The Minister of Magic and Dumbledore are ready to do EVERYTHING to take me back to the Wizarding World… As you saw and heard in this memory, they allowed their followers to bring me back at ALL COST !" Harry said in a somber tone as he looked at everyone present who stopped their tirade to look at him.
"We will show them who were really are !" Issei inquired with determination once Harry finished talking and at those words, everyone around him voiced their approval.
"Harry is one of us ! He is our friend and we will do everything to keep him safe !" Rias retorted with a stern expression and her Peerage nodded their heads in agreement.
Ophis said nothing but seeing the fire in her eyes, it was easy to guess that she would be there for her mate… to the end. One by one, everyone present promised their supports to Harry who smiled warmly at the group as some tears could be seen falling from his eyes at this display of loyalty. It was at this moment that he realized how lucky he was to have them as friends… as lovers… as a family.
The Wizards of England could bring its force to retrieve him but he wouldn't back down without a fight ! Let them come ! They will be welcomed accordingly ! Beware Wizards and Witches ! You will soon known what you get awaking the sleeping Lion !
(To be continue…)
