Grandparent's Rights

Nicolas Flamel and his wife Perenelle had a new lease on life, no longer stuck in 600+ year old bodies they were wble to do things they hadn't for years, like go for a walk, explore muggle areas with Mary as a guide, and just live without constant pain and weakness, yes they had to drink two potions every morning but that was a tiny price to pay.

Harry had been worried that the stone had been destroyed but Nicolas just laughed and asked if Harry could make something that valuable would he only make one?

While Harry continued his schooling the Flamels went to gringotts as they had a plan to get revenge for Harry on the Dursleys, Nicolas had been angered hearing the treatment Harry had endured, Perenelle was apoplectic and for the first time in nearly 400 years Nickolas was worried his wife would detonate like a bomb in her rage, so he quickly told her of the plan he was coming up with and her rage was replaced by a terrifying grin.

It was ready, Minerva looked at the signed and prepared document, it was terrifying and exciting at the same time, a whole new life was ready and waiting if Harry was correct about the side-effect of the potion, she had thought about it for quite a while trying to talk herself out of it and yet every excuse just seemed to be that... and excuse, so she prepared by informing Madam Maxine that she may have to leave on short notice for personal reasons over the christmas period which would give her time to find a new transfiguration teacher which gave her an out incase the side-effect didn't happen.

After talking with Harry it was decided to do the experiment the week before christmas on the day when most students would leave for home unless they had to stay for whatever reason, this would give her two weeks to get used to being young again and prepare for going back to school, Harry wondered why she wanted to go to school again and she explained how it was where many connections that lasted a lifetime were made and not going could cause her problems.

Harry had planned his christmas, after the last feast and professor Mcgonagall's potion he intended to head back to the cottage to relax for a while and maybe take a trip to the UK to visit Ragnok, he missed the gnarled old man. His plans changed however when he got a letter from Nick, he would still be able to see Ragnok as he would be coming along under a glamor, it seemed Elle had blown a fuse when she learned about Harry's childhood and this plan was made in place of simply blowing up the Duirsley's house while they were in it, also included in the letter was something which caused Harry a double take and to start to tear up, inside was a form which named him as their surrogate grandchild, he quickly left the hall and slipped out before his friends noticed, he hadn't told them about anything yet but he was planning to after getting some advice from Ragnok and his now grandparents, he made sure no one was near and cast a notice me not before taking wing and trying to clear his head by flying around for a while.

Preparations had been made, a place had been secured for 'Mina Mcgonagall' at Beauxbatons next year if it was needed, her background had been set up and she found herself looking forward to being 'young' again, would she actually be young mentally as well? they were not sure about that but Harry had said probably not, it was memories and experiences that made a person more that the development stage of the brain, although it would be interesting to see how becoming an 'adult' for the second time effected her,

softly a voice spoke,"Are you ready?"

she turned and looked at this young man who may have given her a second chance at life, "I am Mr Evans, will you be watching?"

"Yes but from a place you won't be able to reach when you change, don't want to get scratched," he grinned, and handed her the potion,

"very funny, odd that such a small potion could cause such a big change,"

"Many potions can do that, Brice spent most of his life as a cripple until he was found to be a wizard, then poof a few doses of skelly grow and he is as healthy as anyone. Makes me think that wizards are kind of evil, we have all these cures for ailments that muggles cannot cure, at least yet anyway, and we horde them, how will that look when they eventually find us," Harry tangented off,

"Oh come on Mr Evans what makes you thing they'll discover us?"

"Security cameras, camcorders, they are advancing fast and already have common place things most wizards don't know about and wouldn't even understand, but enough about that, we should get a move on,"

They arrived at the spot she had chosen and found it empty of students as most were spending time together before they left for the break, Harry changed and flew up into the tree while Professor Mcgonagall sat down and let her mind wander, the potion clutched in her right hand.

Harry sat on his perch for a few minutes after all they had come out very early to make sure they had plenty of time, he watched for anyone who might find them as well as anything that may be a threat, a few thestrals wandered near but seemed to know not to come closer, as time progressed several black cats appeared slowly one by one, Harry recognised them from his time flying around the grounds and his substiquent research, these were Madagot cats very fast and dangerous if attacked they seemed to be mesmerised by McGonagall's meditation it was then she slowly raised the potion and drank it, Harry was excited as she began a slow transformation it was also obvious that she wouldn't be the ordinary house tabby that she originally became she was much larger, as the transformation continued he was able to recognise the breed, a Maine Coon of all things, one of the largest breeds of cat that could be domesticated, as soon as the transformation was complete she darted into the trees and Harry took off.

After half an hour, the large cat stopped and sat down, it the looked up at him and stared for a few seconds before heading back to the academy, he landed up high just to make sure and watched as she changed back, but the old and respectable Minerva McGonagall was gone, in her place was a girl with long black hair and although she was much younger she was still recognisable,

"Oh come on, I don't bite," she chuckled,

he flapped down to her and changed, "well, it's nice to meet you Mina," he held out his hand,

her eyes widened, "Really? it actually worked?!" she glanced down at the smooth firm skin on her hands, the age marks gone, "wow, this is, I, i knew it could happen but somehow I didn't believe it would,"

"and that's why we made preparations, here" he held out an envelope," a portkey to your home in Scotland, you have two weeks to get used to being you, and also I suggest going to gringotts with the letter inside, do not open it, hand it to any goblin and they will transfer your vault to the new you,"

she took the envelope, "ok i won't open it, thankyou Mr-"

"Harry, remember we are peers now, not teacher and student,"

"Thankyou Harry, i will try to stop that, or call it a family trait," she laughed,

"OK well I have to talk to the Weasley twins, the phrase to activate the portkey is let's get started, I would suggest transforming and leaving the grounds, you'll love... well i'll let you find out," and he turned and ran off,

"Wait, find out?" she looked up and noticed him flee "FIND OUT WHAT?! HARRY?!"

with a sigh and a chuckle she turned back into a cat and made her way.

Fred and George were packing up their stuff when Harry walked in,

"Wotcha harry, need something?" Fred... or George said,

"well, I had been trying to think of gifts for you two and since we probably wouldn't get away with most of my ideas I thought of your mum," they looked at him oddly, "You said she's quite the mother hen and worries a lot, so I thought what would be a better present for you two than something you can give her and put you in her good books for a long time," their eyes grew wide,

"that would be awesome," the one on the left said,

"what is it?!" the other one asked,

"Well they are expensive so tell her you did odd jobs for other students and worked yourselves hard to earn money for it," he held out the gold and silver box with the Med-e-specs logo on it,

"are those," left

"they are indeed my handsome sibling," right

"keenly observed my intelligent brother," left

"KNOCK IT OFF" a dizzy Harry,

"MED-E-SPECS" both

'groan' Harry,

the twins were ecstatic with the gift, this would get the out of trouble at least twice! in response they gave Harry their latest creation in confectionary jokes, the caterwaul cake, harry knew just what to do with this.

The coach-flight back was just as chaotic as it was going, but now he had Brice and Fleur keeping him company so it was much better, the twins were off in their own world planning to use the goodwill they would get to prank their brothers and get off scot free, all to soon they landed and parted ways, and Harry headed to a local cafe where his grandparents were, wow that still felt odd, grandparents huh?

He approached the cafe and sat out front were several people and he couldn't for the life of him spot... wait, two were sat on the far left and really seemed to enjoy the sweets they were eating, he walked up slowly to give them time to spot him so if it wasn't,

"HARRY!" the lady leapt to her feet and almost knocked him off his feet in a hug and then began checking him over in a grandmotherly kind of was asking if he had been eating properly teasing him about 'befriending' the most gorgeous girl in school, and many wonderfully embarrassing things.

After Elle had had her fun and Harry was a nice shade of red Nick interrupted and explained the plan to Harry, since it would be difficult to convict the Dursley's in a court they had decided to ruin them, Harry was reluctant but when Nick reminded him of how they had treated him he was all for it, after all if Vernon didn't react as they believed he would they would let it slide at Harry's insistence but should he take the bait well his fate would be his own doing.

Harry asked how they could afford to pull off this plan and they just laughed, after 600+ years of experience spotting good ideas and companies to invest in was fairly simple, they had stocks in Microsoft, Samsung, Wayne, sony, Lexcorp, Ace chemicals, and many others, to put it mildly they were incredibly, disgustingly, filthy rich, their plan didn't even use the kind of money they would spend on a good night's entertainment.

Vernon Dursley looked up at the plain office building, soon he'd be running this branch of Grunnings, he was being groomed to take over as branch director as the old one was retiring, and he deserved the post, after all the crap he had put up with, the pranks, the unnaturalness, he and Petunia had placed a deposit on a nice house away from Privit Drive, they hoped moving would stop all the things that were happening, it had used up all their savings but it would be worth it and the new job would pay very well, he steeled himself to meet the potential new owners and impress them and secure his future.

Vernon walked in and began giving orders to make sure that everything was clean and ready for the new owners, a good first impression was vital and he wanted to impress them hopefully if he did well enough they would remember him and that could open doors for him, it was a shock when he was told that the new owners were already here.

Nick and Elle were chatting with the CEO and his staff in the break room, explaining that looking at the smaller offices of a company was usually a good indication of the quality of the whole as if they neglected the smaller offices it indicated a fundamental failure of the company, so far they had actually been impressed this might have started as a revenge plan for Harry but this small company seemed very well run and was looking like a good investment, it was then the break room door opened and Nick flicked his hidden wand.

Vernon rushed into the break room, he had been told that the new owners might be in there but what greeted him was not what he wanted as he recognised the freak even years later, hadn't they been rid of the little shit? how was he here?

"You... how are you here you little freak?" Vernon spoke with loathing, "It's your doing isn't it?!" he grabbed Harry, "Why are you here boy? do you want to go back to your cupboard away from normal people? answer me!" he lifted Harry off the floor, "Your freak of a mother dumped you on our doorstep and we had the kindness to take you in and let you cook and clean for us, even gave you Dudley's old clothes to wear and you have the gall to not be grateful?!"

it was less than 30 seconds and a quick flip from Nicks concealed wand and the CEO got over his shock, "DURSLEY!"
