Code Geass Harry of the Uprising

ESKK: At last, a new chapter. Sorry for the delay everyone please enjoy reading the chapter.

(Start Malfoy Manor)

Voldemort was raging every one of the remaining Death Eaters could see it. No one was safe from his wrath as he fired off curse after curse upon whatever poor victim got in his way. His plans had been ruined left and right by Zero and his Black Knights. Thanks to Zero he failed to capture Potter, was exposed to the world before he was properly ready, and most of all had all but ensured the neutral factions from the previous war would side with him. What made it worse was that Zero was not Dumbledore who had went on and on about sparing the Death Eaters Zero was not above killing his enemies.

This left Voldemort in a predicament he never anticipated faced with a powerful foe who had looser morals then the light and was every bit as powerful as him if the landslide was to be believed. From what he understood Zero seemed to be a tactical genius able to outmaneuver his foes, a tactical genius. Voldemort could not brute force his way through this he had to be smart, Zero will anticipate traps from him and will try to plan accordingly. If Voldemort tried to make an attempt at a raid, chances are Zero and his ilk will show up to counter them. They needed a new strategy one that can allow him an edge over Zero. Lucious dead and his main sources to the Ministry cut off from him Voldemort was running out of options.

He needed a new plan but for now all he could do was rage because he could not even trust Severus to get the job done anymore mainly because Zero had compromised him and may have very well know more secrets then Severus knew. Snape had no recollection of ever telling Voldemort of Potter's location which would stand to reason Zero had somehow found Snape and had taken control of him. Whatever power Zero had Voldemort would take it, Those who are allowed to kill are those prepared to be killed? No there is only power and those too weak to take it.

(Scene Break Grimmauld Place Night)

After Hermione had returned to the house the family emergency settled the Order was once more meeting over recent events. As of late the Black Knights have portrayed themselves as heroes and considering the battle that the Black Knights had fought against the Death Eaters many former neutral parties were rallying to Zero's camp. Even Molly had seen children pretending to be Blac Knights running around with capes made to look like Zero. She had of course scolded them until their parents came along and gave Molly a right yelling. Thankfully, Arthur had stepped in and got Molly to leave before his wife started spewing insults about the other parents own style of parenting.

On the table was a copy of the Prophet as it had Zero on the cover once more making headlines. "The power gauntlet has been cast." Dumbledore said with a solemn tone as now Wizarding Britain had become the battleground of the war between two Dark Lords.

"It would seem Zero now has his own Bellatrix it seems." Sirius said as he saw the image of that red armored woman whose claw was dripping with the blood of her enemies.

"How could any decent person side with Zero? How many people did he kill in that landslide of his?" Molly asked accusingly as she glared at the scene of the battle's aftermath.

"Perhaps people who rather have Zero then risk a second Blood War." Moody said as she saw that Zero's methods were effective and brought results. They had been at odds over how to proceed for the entirety of the summer all of them seeking to do something to stop Zero and/or Voldemort. Zero's raids have been against corrupt individuals as once the scene had been taken care of, they call the Aurors and escape. The Order can't interfere because the fact is the Black Knights targets are the ones performing illegal actions and if they came to fight the Black Knights it would make the Order of the Phoenix look like the villains.

"Let's all calm down less we wake the children." Dumbledore said as the next day they would be leaving for Hogwarts. Kingsley and Tonks were not with them today apparently Amelia had called them both in for a meeting. "Once we know more of what Madam Bones and the Ministry plan to do, we may assist them as needed." Dumbledore said but inside he was worried. He had hoped that the pair would be able to convince her to see their way of things.

But Dumbledore was worried Zero may view himself as the hero now, but his actions were dark very dark. The landslide he caused was truly a powerful form of magic, but he knew more than that. Zero was a tactical genius the fact was able to command his forces as well as formulate his plans for his raids Dumbledore knew that he could not approach Zero like he would Voldemort. No, he needed to be smart about it but with no one like Snape within his ranks getting information about Zero's movements was difficult.

(Scene Break Ministers Office Amela Bones)

Amelia was glaring at her two Aurors who sat on the chairs across from her. She was not blind nor a fool she knew that Dumbledore's vigilante group had reactivated and knew someone or several someone's had been feeding the old man information. By process of elimination, she figured out who it was, and she was not happy about it. To make a long story short their careers might very well be in jeopardy for this because while Amelia wants to deal with the problems being a war time minister meant she needed everyone working as one unit.

"Do you think I'm stupid or blind?" Amelia asked as she glared at the Two Aurors.

"I don't think I follow." Shacklpot said as he stood there for a moment.

"I know what you both have been doing particularly involving a certain old man and his vigilante group." Amelia said as she glared at the two Aurors who were wide eyed to this.

"I don't know what you mean Madam Bones." Shacklpot said as Tonks began to sweat a bit at the accusations their way.

"I found it odd that Dumbledore was at the sight of the hostage situation so quickly the only way he could be there was if someone told him about it." Amelia said as she wanted the incident to be kept quiet for a bit. It was almost like he knew about it before the Prophet did and with this in mind, she was suspicious. "Now I do hope you both understand that this is a clear violation of your responsibilities as Aurors and could see you both fired at best, depending on how we proceed." Amelia said and thus Tonks had to ask.

"W-what do you mean?" She asked as she did not want to lose her job.

"I will NOT have a conflict of loyalties so this will end in one of two ways, you cast off Dumbledore and spy on him for me after a brief suspension of duties with pay... or you can leave your badges here and I won't have the both of you on trial for your part in this." Amelia said as she gave them the ultimatum.

"But ma'am why don't you trust Dumbledore?" Tonks asked as she was concerned here.

"Simply put... he's ineffective both as a leader and an educator." Amelia said shocking the pair. "Every year I've had gotten letters from by niece Susan about blatant bigotry in Hogwarts that has never been dealt with." Amelia said as she made it clear why she did not like Dumbledore. "I've approached several groups involved about hammering down on it but had been blocked at every turn." She spoke being calm about this.

"This past Summer I had my niece grounded for her role with the harassment of another student as well as checked for any mind-altering spells." Amelia added as the pair of Aurors did not like where this was going. "In the previous War we were losing Dumbledore's idealistic nonsense to keep giving Criminals second, third, fourth, and fifth chances had lost us to many good Aurors against the Death Eaters as well as allowing for the Dark Lord to break his followers out of Azkaban on a regular basis like a muggle revolving door." Amelia added and thus they saw where she was coming from. "Another Blood War is upon us, and I have no intentions of pulling our punches anymore." She stated before turning back to the two Aurors.

"Now what is your answer?" Amelia asked making it clear that they are going to make their choice now rather than be allowed to give Dumbledore anymore chances to turn them. "Just remember you became Aurors to enforce the law not subterfuge it for another." She added and that was all the reminder they needed of who they were serving to protect.

(At the Same Time)

Harry as Zero was looking over the papers that were sent his way from CC and other groups. "As things stand Zero had been in contact with several Muggleborns throughout Wizarding Britain who were passing along information as needed. Lelouch was doing most of the technical work while Harry was made to sit back and observe during this time. But one parchment in question was one Zero had been waiting a good while for. It was an invitation to Zero to meet with Cygnus Greengrass a former Slytherin and father to Daphne and Astoria Greengrass. If his hunch was correct this meant that the Black Knights have gain the noticed of the Neutral factions of the Ministry.

But this also had a double edged to it with this possibly being a trap to get the Black Knights all in one place. It was a risky gamble hence why CC had gone off to confirm it for him. If it is a trap, then she'll let him know but they needed the resources the neutral factions can provide the Black Knights. But they might not have enough time to properly investigate before school starts this year thus Zero had to make a call on what to do.

Lelouch knew he had advantages he did not have in his previous life, magic being chief amongst them as well as the fact the magical world follow, a sort of sheep mentality. But there was one other factor he needed to consider and that was the possibility that this might be a trap to either A have Zero walk into trap for the Dark Lord Voldemort or B glimpse a peak into who Zero truly was. Lelouch had learned from his own failures in the Black Knights Rebellion against Britannia as well as the mistakes that Schniezel exploited to turn the Black Knights against him.

On the first factor the sheep mentality will be most useful because if the Shepard says that Voldemort is to be feared the populace will in turn fear him. His research of the previous war showed that Voldemort had a taboo on his name, say his name and his followers will show up. This might work under a similar pretense as the Trace so if Zero can exploit it he can turn Voldemort's greatest tool into his worse weakness. After all the Death Eaters are so used to getting the jump on people that they never suspect that the name of the Dark Lord will be used for a trap. But that plan can wait because the other problem is how Voldemort seems to keep crawling back.

He lacks a Code so that rules out Geass on the spot. Perhaps he discovered a method during his time at Hogwarts and if that is the case that same method may still be in school. But on the other hand, Voldemort may have also found it outside of the school which would do Zero no good. They needed to put him down and make sure he stays down otherwise all of this will just keep happening. So many variables it was giving Lelouch a headache just trying to narrow it down to a large margin. Worst case scenario this form of immortality is something entirely new that Voldemort had created but if that is the case then they were in trouble.

Still having allies within the purebloods, circles would serve their cause well. It was a risk he had to take but thankfully with Geass it may not be as big as risk as one would think. With Lelouch and Harry slowly melding into one being it was only a matter of time before clashes of ideals erupt between them.

Harry for his part was worried as he only knew Daphne Greengrass in passing. They never interacted with each other seeing as she was in Slytherin, and he was a Gryffindor. Still being connected to Lelouch had allowed Harry a look into his mind and while Harry wasn't intrusive, he did let curiosity get the best of him. Needless to say, Harry wanted to hate Lelouch truly he did but all the evils all the horrid things he did was to create a world his younger sister desired. But knowing what he does now Harry could not help but pity Lelouch not because he didn't know love no, he pitied him because he loved so much that it killed him. Harry could not imagine having that level of loyalty or love for someone hence why he had been conflicted. What are results if they are gained from contemptable means. Suzaku had learned the hard way that they were still results and had learned that his ideals were useless in the face of such adversity like Britannia.

"Lelouch why do we need to go over such complicated things?" Harry asked as he was annoyed over Lelouch's own contemplations of their next move.

"Harry in war you never assume or take unneeded risks." Lelouch spoke with a calm tone of his voice. "On one hand this will allow for us to acquire allies, but on the other hand this may be a trap." Lelouch said as he considered the information. "I order to take the enemy king you must be able to use all the pieces on your board." Lelouch added and thus Harry sighed to this.

"Is that anything like the analogy of the king leading so his troops may follow?" Harry asked and thus Lelouch chuckled to this.

"You're learning." Lelouch quipped causing Harry to sigh in frustration. "Still, we need a method to organize the Black Knight meetings in a way that won't let Albus become aware of us." Lelouch said as he had a few ideas. "We can't rely on the stand in for this." Lelouch trailed off but then Harry had an idea.

"What about a Time Turner?" Harry offered which got Lelouch intrigued. "Hermione used it back in our third year to attend several classes at once." Harry said and in turn Lelouch saw the plan forming. "So, while we're at Hogwarts we'll also be off carrying out role as leader of the Black Knights and Dumbledore would be none the wiser." Zero said and thus saw what Harry was thinking.

Just then CC walked in with a smile on her face. "Well, it looks like someone is in a good mood." CC said noting this as she heard the shared thoughts between the two.

"Yes, CC we figured out how to have Zero and Harry in two places at once without using Polyjuice and body doubles." Lelouch said through Harry's mouth. "What are the chances you can acquire a time turner for us?" Lelouch asked and in turn CC smirked to this.

"Well, I do have connections and there are certain parties within the Ministry who owe me a favor." CC said showing she had been active in both sides of the wall. "It will take me some time, but I can promise you I'll have what you need before the term begins." CC said and with a nod Zero got down to the final bit.

"And one more thing, send a message to Greengrass tell him that I will meet with him." Zero said and thus CC knew the next part was going to be a bit tricky for them.

(With Dumbledore)

Sitting in his office Dumbledore was speaking with his spy as Snape had been short coming for information. "So, there is nothing the Dark Lord is telling you?" Dumbledore asked as he looked to Snape with concern.

"No as I've stated he's been most distrustful of me as of late." Snape said blaming his lapse in memory for this. "I'm afraid Zero may have had a hand in this." Snape added which Dumbledore understood as well.

"And with the current situation I fear for the worse." Dumbledore said as his concerns went to the current political atmosphere. "We need eyes and ears within the Black Knights Organization, but I doubt any of the muggleborn or half-bloods will be willing to turn Zero in or even act against him." Dumbledore said as it was clear that Zero had the masses flocking towards him. "Even more so we need someone to be inside Zero's inner circle if for no other reason than to stop the Heir to Mordred from revealing his final play." Dumbledore added and with that shivered at the sort of horrors that Mordred's heir could unleash upon their world. No matter how terrible Tom had become he like every other Dark Lord were second best to Mordred and the horrors he unleashed upon the world.

"Dumbledore perhaps you need to consider being proactive against Zero instead of reactive." Snape offered as Dumbledore went silent.

"I cannot, as it stands his raids have been revealing several levels of corruption, if the Order of the Phoenix were to stop him, he could just as easily paint us as the villains." Dumbledore said but Snape begged to differ.

"Then the only option left is to let the two Dark Lords fight it out and once the smoke settles, we eliminate the victor while he is weakened." Snape said as that was truly an underhanded move. But at the moment they were running out of options it was either stain his hands with blood or let thousands die while Zero and Voldemort waged their war.

"Severus." Dumbledore trailed off but for the time being let it be.

(Scene Break the next day, Zero)

Zero and the Black Knights were gathered at the Portkey sight. His command staff was in attendance comprised of himself, Hermione, Oliver, Neville, Cho, and the Weasley twins Fred and George. The was almost a play-by-play of the old world where Lelouch as Zero met with the Kyoto group. According to CC's research the Grey Factions were almost unheard of and had always remained neutral between the dark and light factions or their actual names the traditionalists and the progressives. The neutral faction were traditionalists with more of an open mind to changes in the world especially if said changes were needed. Cygnus Greengrass is the leading speaker for this group and the benefits of their neutrality had offered them funds and resources from several sources the traditionalists would even consider using.

While CC had her own magical resources they were not up to the level of a pureblood as much as it galls Lelouch to admit. The Portkey was large enough for them all to grab and transport to the sight and unfortunately, he could not use CC as a body double this time. No escort group thus Zero could not use Geass to pull off such a switch. Thankfully, CC had provided them with some tools to get their point across which meant they had a plan B to utilize in this situation.

Taking the Portkey, which was a staff, the group were soon teleported to a new location and found themselves in what looked to be front steps of a manor, Greengrass manor to be precise. Hermione knew that Harry still did not like magical travel and suspected that it was it was only thanks to Lelouch and the mask that he was able to keep his composure. The doors opened and they were met with a House Elf waiting for him. "Master waits for Black Knights." The Elf said and in turn they proceeded to follow after the Elf.

(Later)

The group soon arrived in what appeared to be a meeting room of sorts as they took a look around. "Blimey and I thought Malfoy was living it up." Fred said as he looked around the room curious of it all.

"You would think they would be a bit more modest or humble with their money being neutrals and all." Cho said as Neville nodded in agreement with Cho.

"A needed evil one would claim." Came the new voice and from there they all looked to the man sitting on a lone chair by the fire one hand on a book and the other on the arm rest. "Many purebloods choose to flaunt their fortune and gold as a mark of their position in our world yet tarnishing our way of live by being exclusive only yet at the same time the muggleborn continued to enter our world in increased numbers yet remain naive and unaware of our way of life seeing some traditions as offensive." The man spoke as Zero glared at the sight of the man.

"Cygnus Greengrass Lord of the Most Noble House of Greengrass and the leader of the Neutral faction." Zero said as now it was Lelouch who was in control. "Father of Daphne Greengrass about to enter her fifth Year at Hogwarts and Astoria Greengrass entering her 3rd Year at Hogwarts, husband to Madeline Greengrass by method of arrangement." Zero listed off as Cygnus noted that Zero knew a great deal.

"But known only to a select few a man who has thrown support to both sides when needed to defend his own investments as well as remove the major problems affecting our world." Zero said taking a step forward to speak on behalf of his Order of the Black Knights.

"So, you know of me." Cygnus said as he stood up and looked to Zero.

"Of course, I've done my research prior to this meeting." Zero said and in turn Cygnus glared at the masked man.

"Be that as it may you wear a mask, its quiet rude of you to hide your face like this, Zero." Cygnus said as he needed confirmation as to who Zero was. "I ask that you remove your mask show us who you truly are." Cygnus said and thus Zero smirked under his mask. "Scion Longbottom." Cygnus began as he looked to Neville. "You will be the one to remove Zero's mask." Cygnus said and in turn all the Black Knights were shocked by this.

"You can't do that, Zero has been fighting on all of our behalf." Hermione said standing in front of Zero like a shield.

"It's alright, Hermione." Zero confirmed as he looked to Neville. "Do what you must, Neville if this earns your trust so be it." Zero added and in turn Neville gulped and nodded to this.

"Finally, we get to see the man under the mask." George said as he and Oliver looked to Zero with anticipation.

Neville then removed the mask finding it easy to remove. But then he was left shock as Zero's face was revealed as that of a green haired woman shocking them all. "Bloody Hell Zero is a woman!?" Oliver asked but Hermione begged to differ.

"That's not Zero! I've seen her with Zero." Hermione said wondering when Harry and Lelouch had pulled off the switch.

"You, young woman is this true?" Cygnus asked glaring at the deception. "You are not a muggleborn." Cygnus asked as he wanted answers as to what was going on.

"It is true all of it." She confessed taking out a recorder and showed that Zero had set up pre-made responses and had accurately predicted what Cygnus would say. "But that does not mean Zero is unaware of you." CC added as she looked to the man. "Like him I also know that despite what you tell everyone your lovely wife is not truly a pureblood hence why you walk the neutral path, after all who would suspect Cygnus Greengrass wife to be a muggleborn and by extension his daughters to be half-bloods and there never was an arranged marriage to begin with." CC said and thus Cygnus went wide eyed as did the Black Knights.

"You know I cannot let you walk away with that information." Cygnus said and in turn a new voice spoke up.

"We would expect nothing less." Zero was heard and soon enough Cygnus was disarmed of his wand and held at gun point by Zero who came out from under an invisibility cloak.

Cygnus was no fool he knew about the muggle firearms and how they could kill a wizard before they could get a spell in. "B-but how?" Cygnus asked as Zero had Cygnus move back to his seat.

"I knew how you would act and planned accordingly because your ways are outdated and predictable." Zero said glaring at Cygnus but not a hateful glare mind you. "And for that same reason alone Dumbledore and his ilk will lose because they are not willing to do what is needed to attain victory." Zero spoke and thus he began to lower his gun.

"What do you want, Zero?" Cygnus asked as he looked to Zero wanting answers.

"Cygnus Greengrass the leader of the neutral factions a pureblood supporter to the public but behind closed doors a supporter of the muggleborn seeking to educate them on the magical world while opening the doors to new ideas." Zero said as he looked upon the man. "Someone like you, a double agent would be most useful to the Black Knights and the world we envisioned." Zero said as Cygnus wanted the point.

"But you are correct in one thing, I am NOT a muggleborn." Zero said as Harry knew that was actually quite true.

"Wait I thought he was." Oliver said as he realized why Zero wore a mask.

"He's a pureblood?" Cho asked assuming that Zero wore the mask to hide this fact about himself.

"If you are not a muggleborn but do not follow the ideology of Dumbledore then why do you fight for those the pureblood dogma claims as inferior?" Cygnus asked wanting to see a glimpse as to how Zero truly operates himself as a leader.

"I seek the destruction of an old world and the birth of a new one." Zero spoke which confused Cygnus. "For there to be creation of the magnitude I seek destruction must predate it and for that to happen both Dumbledore and Voldemort must be removed from the board entirely." Zero said and thus Cygnus glared at Zero.

"You-Know-Who is immortal." Cygnus admitted while looking to Zero.

"He is no Immortal he but a man whose found a means to stave off death and whatever his secret is I will learn it and strip him of it." Zero said and thus Cygnus began to chuckle to Zero's resolve and nerve.

"And you believe yourself able to do such a thing to perform such a miracle?" Cygnus asked as he wanted to see how deep Zero's ambitions run.

"I can because I have reasons that compel me to do so." Zero said as he then removed his helmet. "I know one final fact of you Cygnus Greengrass of one particular woman who inspired you to become the leader of the Neutrals." Zero said and in turn proceeded to remove his helmet and when he did Cygnus went wide eyed to this.

"Its... you..." Cygnus said as he looked to the green eyes of the one woman from his own Hogwarts days. Cygnus then grinned as he began to laugh.

"Blast I can't see his face." Cho said as she wanted to get a good look at Zero's face. Hermione had casted a notice me not charm on Zero for this run of the plan. It truly was a genius maneuver on Lelouch's part Zero had made used the House Elf who delivered the letter as his means in and placed a recording of responses in the hands of CC. So, while Zero hid under the invisibility coat in Greengrass manor he learned several things inside while the meeting was prepared. Thus, here they were Zero now had the loyalty of Cygnus Greengrass all but assured.

"So, at long last the seeds Lily had planted blooms." Cygnus said with a grin on his face. "And what is it you ask of me Zero?" Cygnus asked as Harry smiled to this.

"I ask for your aid on behalf of my mother to end the reign of Voldemort who seeks the past, and of Dumbledore who seeks to keep everything in a perpetual state of now." Harry asked as he was still reeling that Cygnus had cared so much for Lily Evans and had respected her enough to aid her from the shadows. Cygnus in response began to laugh at the irony of it all, Harry Potter was never kidnapped to begin with the boy faked it all to build upon the legend of Zero. Cygnus has no clue how Harry pulled off such a Slytherin like move but truly the boy is every bit his mother as he was his father.

Cygnus was a rival of Lily but unlike the one between Harry and Draco Cygnus and Lily's rivalry held shared respect for each other. One could argue that Cygnus had loved Lily as much as he found her a worthy rival to himself. He was jealous of James yes, but he never once wished either of them ill and took his lose with humility and grace.

"Oliver Wood!" Cygnus called forth as Zero put his mask back on. Once he had the Black Knights attention he began to speak. "This man is a true mortal enemy of Voldemort and Dumbledore his face must remain hidden for vital reasons I urge you all to follow him wherever he leads you." Cygnus said and thus he made his offering. "Do so and the Neutrals shall ally themselves to you with resources, tactical support, and intelligence." Cygnus said and thus Zero bowed to the man as a Noble would their equal.

"We thank you for your generosity, Lord Greengrass." Zero said and in turn he proceeded to take his leave.

"Do you plan to walk the path filled with blood and death?" Cygnus asked and thus Zero smirked to the man.

"If that is my fate, so be it." Zero said and in turn he took his leave. Hermione knew it was Lelouch doing the talking there but a small part of her suspected that Harry also spoke it the more those two worked together the more Harry became more like Lelouch.

'We did it we actually did it.' Harry mentally gasped to Lelouch after what happened.

'Yes, we did.' Lelouch said with a confident tone. 'But there is still one last thing we need to do, this time as Harry Potter.' Lelouch said which confused Harry.

'What is that?' Harry asked with concern.

'We put it off long enough, we need to speak with the Goblins and confirm if we are the ones spoken of in the Prophesy.' Lelouch said and thus Harry was wide eyed.

'But if we do this and find out that we are that man's heir... then everyone will turn against us.' Harry said trying to avoid it because truly he was afraid of what he will learn.

'If we are his heir or not is irrelevant what matters is that our actions will speak for us not our words.' Lelouch said and in turn Harry knew there was no other choice.

(Scene Break Grimmauld Place the next day)

Harry was walking with Mr. Weasley to the bank, as Arthur Weasley was walking with a blank look on his face and a red glow over his eyes, a clear sign that he was Geass, as Harry didn't want to, but Lelouch said it was necessary as there was no way for harry to get to the bank on his own without an escort under Dumbledore's order.

Lelouch hatched a plan of Geass Mr. Weasley with special commands to take him there and pretty much had Mr. Weasley Volunteered to take Harry to the bank saying they will be back with all the money they need, no doubt Harry would give extra Gallons to Mr. Weasley after this while to make him think he did go to the bank to withdraw money but that wasn't it, because Harry didn't just come withdraw money from his trust funds vault, or any other vault that in Lelouch's name, but to do a inherit test to see if Harry really is Heir to Mordred or not, as Lelouch saw it was too much of a coincidence that People has been calling Zero the Heir to the first dark lord in history.

There was no real way to do a blood test the mundane way to confirm this, so the only way to do so was the magical way and the only one that can do it without alerting the rest of the magical world that Harry is taking an inherited test to see if he was related to Mordred was with the Goblins.

As soon as they enter, Harry looked at Mr. Weasley and said to him, "Alright, you take care of your business and wait for me after words. When I return then we can head back."

"Understood," Arthur said sounding almost robotic, as Harry hated that but he had no choice at this moment, as he wish Lelouch could have added more detail in the command to let Mr. Weasley to show more emotions, but it was too late to do anything about it and just get on with it as Harry came up to the front desk and soon request, "Excuse me great warrior, I wish to speak with someone to do an inherited test for me."

(Later)

Things went smoothly so far as Harry was take to meet with his account manager Stonefist to help with the inherited test, as Harry knew he can claim his family rights as the Potter heir due to the tri-wizard tournament as Lelouch did suggest doing this first to help gain access to more resources to use if necessary being this was a backup plan in case thing with the black knights went as bad as before in Lelouch's life.

He wasn't planning on things to go the same way as it did back then, but it doesn't help to have Back up plan if needed as Stonefist had Place a box down before Harry and open it up to show the Potter heir ring as he was told what could happen if the ring didn't accepted him as Harry grab it without fear and place it on his right ring finger as the ring itself shines and shrank down to fit his finger as Stonefist said, "The ring has accepted you. Congratulations Lord Potter."

"Thank you, Mr. Stonefist, but while we are still on the subject of my heritage, I wonder if there's way to confirm if I could be a part of an Ancient bloodline," Harry said as Stonefist soon said, "There are way to confirm this, but may I ask what bloodline are, you seeking to find out?"

"Pendragon, Mordred Pendragon," Harry said as at that moment everything in that office because dead silent as Stonefist soon ask, "A-and may I ask why you come to such conclusion?"

"I've come across some clues of my bloodline, but I could not confirm if it were too or not, and I wish to put my mind at ease for this," Harry said as Stonefist said, "Well… technically we could test this, but it's not one I wish to give, so if you wish you could back out of this, but I am required to ask this of you, are you sure you wish to do this test?"

"I'm sure… No, I am serious about this, and I do wish to see," Harry said as Stonefist sighed and said, "Very well then, but don't say we didn't warn you. Just sigh this document that says that we Goblins aren't responsible for great injury or death during said test."

Stonefist presented the document before Harry as he looked it over and signed it, knowing at this point the goblins wouldn't let him try unless he sigh the wavers, and he didn't want to Geass a goblin and make it for not.

'Lelouch are you sure this is the right idea?' Harry asked as he read over the information. 'If we're wrong then we may very well die.' Harry thought and thus Lelouch considered this. One wrong move and they were as good as dead here.

'Prophesy is a fickle thing in the world, if there is such a thing about me or you then we need confirmation.' Lelouch thought and thus he sighed to this. 'With no other means to safely ensure that we learn the truth this is our best and only option, I think the benefits outweigh the loss.' Lelouch spoke and thus Harry nodded and signed the parchment and added his blood to it for good measure.

"Follow me, and may your God have mercy on your soul." The Goblin said and thus Harry followed after the Goblin.

(Scene Break in the mines)

The mine cart ride was a long and deep one. Harry recalled past visits to this place, but they had never gone this deep before. "The Vault we are about to see is Vault 003 the Third Vault ever opened with Gringotts." The Goblin spoke as Harry paid attention to Stonefist. "It was opened by HIM when he started his reign of terror on the world." The Goblin added which got Harry a bit worried on the outcome.

"So have any goblin entered it since?" Harry asked as the Goblin scoffed to this.

"No, Mordred was very specific about the contents of his vault that only his heir and said heirs chosen account manager will be permitted entry into his Vault." Stonefist said and thus Harry got the gist that not even the Goblins are aware of its contents.

After what felt like an eternity they arrived at a large ominous Vault. If Harry thought the Vault that had the Philosopher Stone was big this one dwarfed that one. One thing to note was that it did not have a keyhole. Instead, the vault had a hole that one can fit an arm in it. Harry walked over to it and gulped when he noted a set of bones near it with the arm missing.

"Stick your arm in, and the Vault will test you." Stonefist said as Harry looked to it. "By the way where would you like your riches to go when you die?" The Goblin asked almost tauntingly and thus Harry sighed and approached. Harry carefully bit his arm in and waited for the worst to happen. All was quiet for a moment as Harry gulped a bit, but then a ticking sound was heard before all of a sudden, the hole clamped down on Harry's arm causing him to help but found he was stuck. Before Harry could yell, he felt something bite into his hand causing him to cry out only for his Geass to activate. The Vault door then flashed to life with the same bird sigil before the hole let Harry's hand go. Harry pulled his arm out and saw that that his hand had been stabbed with the blood spilling out from it.

The door then began to slowly but surely open much to Stonefists surprise. Once the door opened Harry was met with mountains of Gold, Weapons of old, and riches beyond reason. But Harry was more focused on the podium at the center of it all. Walking towards it, Harry saw Stonefist was visibly sweating as the room had the skeleton of a Dragon on the ceiling and the remains of a Basilisk across the far wall. Clearly Mordred had not been idle in his reign as he had a vast collection of riches and trophies from his many conquests. Walking to the podium Harry saw the Geass Sigil again but it was different that it more of a coat of arms. Unrolling the parchment Harry began to read it to himself wondering what was on it.

'To my Heir who lives beyond the reaches of my time

If you are reading this, then I find comfort that my lineage lives on and now a worthy successor to the title of King Mordred has claimed his or her birthright. Within this parchment is all the riches and resources I have collected over the years as I attempted to unite Britain where more father failed. Manipulated by my mother as I was, I refused to be a pawn to anyone. In my reign I had become a terror the world over that none dare betray me all according to my grand plan. I asked my heir who lives in an age beyond my own to use the power of our noble bloodline to once more fight against tyranny do so and know that all my vast knowledge and resources shall be yours to make use of as you see fit. I leave all my belongings to the chosen heir who has entered my vault.

-Signed Sir Mordred Pendragon the Dark Lord of Conquest and Black Knight of Treachery.'

When Harry finished the Goblin ran over and Harry handed it to him. When Stonefist read the parchment, he was wide eyed and looked ready to kneel but stopped himself. "Well, it seems that you are now the proud owner of this vault and all it entails." The Goblin said as he looked to Harry.

"What happens now?" Harry asked concern as to what was next for him.

"That depends on you it's your vault now, we can transfer its contents to your main vault, or we can change the locks for a key." The Goblins said and thus Harry thought it over.

"No change the locks and send me a key." Harry said as he looked to Stonefist. "Also, I'd like an account manager to help me with my dealings on it preferably a Goblin who knows how to keep a secret." Harry said as he looked to Stonefist.

"Very well I shall make it known." Harry said and thus Lelouch quickly took over.

"Actually, can I possibly have you recommended as my account manager?" Lelouch asked using Harry's voice.

"Pardon me what?" Stonefist asked as Lelouch smirked a bit.

"You've been a great aid to me thus far and are currently the only one who knows of this." Lelouch said and thus Stonefist coughed into his hand a bit.

"We Goblins have our own method of selection but I'm sure my superiors will take your recommendation into consideration." The Goblin remaining professional.

"Good, I'd hate to have the faith I placed in you to be misgiven." Lelouch said and thus the Goblin saw that Harry was challenging him.

'Well played.' The Goblin said and thus with a nod they proceeded to take their leave of the Vault after closing it.

(Scene Break that evening Grimmauld)

After acquiring the key for the Vault and making his recommendation known Harry and Lelouch had returned with Arthur to the base. Needless to say, Lelouch had some explaining to do. "What was that about?" Harry asked as he glared into a Mirror so he could be glaring at Lelouch.

"Strategy." Lelouch spoke with a calm tone in his voice. "The Goblins are warriors and clearly had won the Goblin War if them owning the Wizarding Worlds economy is anything to go by." Lelouch said as he explained his reasoning to Harry. "My act will get them to work twice as hard and by acknowledging their warrior like tendencies I may ensure that they become allies to the Black Knights and in doing so cutting off more access to Voldemort's resources." Lelouch said knowing that if Voldemort can't fund his war, he'll be fighting against even worse odds than before.

"So, by cutting off their money you strangle the Death Eaters." Harry said as Lelouch nodded to this.

"Precisely the fact they're being faced with an enemy who is not afraid to kill and are losing their main backers the Death Eaters will either break apart or be forced to operate under less-than-ideal circumstances." Lelouch said and thus Harry saw where this was going.

"And in doing so, allow for Zero and the Black Knights to steam roll through them." Harry said and thus he began to smirk in a similar way to Lelouch.

"This is Voldemort's game but I'm just better and playing it then he is." Lelouch said which was where Harry and Zero were of like minds. "Now then soon it will be time for Zero to make another grand announcement." Lelouch said knowing they now had the chance to capitalize on their gains.

(Meanwhile with Dumbledore)

Dumbledore sat in his office as he gave a tired sigh. Zero had been quiet for the time being and yet it did not give Dumbledore much hope. The new Dark Lord was crafty and had selected his targets well. He only went after those whom he deems to be of evil so he may enact his form of justice. Whoever Zero was Dumbledore feared it was another Tom Riddle someone who has no care for life. Dumbledore had believed that all life was sacred with very few if any exceptions. This mindset had saved the world once before and Dumbledore prayed it would do so again.

But Zero challenged that mindset every time, his actions have brought results and people seem to want results more than give others redemption. Looking to the wand in his hand Dumbledore began to wonder how long he had before Zero came for it. How long did he have before Zero's desire for power made him seek out the Elder Wand? The Order of the Phoenix was splintering as well, he feared that soon enough Sirius may even ban them from his house only allowing those who side with Zero entry.

But they don't understand that results gained from contemptable methods are not the way. He needed them to understand but Dumbledore will make them understand without staining his hands with evil. Zero may belief using evil to defeat evil is justified but it was wrong mercy and love to all was the only way to go. They needed to stop Voldemort and Zero before Zero realizes he was Mordred heir. If only Dumbledore knew the truth that it was already too late to stop Zero from learning the truth.
