Well, this chapter came out earlier today. I hope you all enjoy! Oh, and still waiting for what to do with Castor. If I don't get an answer, I'm making a poll to see what to do with him.

Recap: "If, or more like when you get caught by the Magic Council, just tell them that you were following Erza's scent, you don't know I'm there. That way when they ask me about you, I can tell them that I thought you were caught by the rest of Fairy Tail," Harry explained his plan. He wants to make sure he adopts Castor, even if it means Natsu is stuck in jail for a day. He knows, unlike Natsu, that the trial that Erza has is for show. "Let's go," Harry sighed.

Harry and Castor made it to the Magic Council while pretending to not hear Natsu behind them. They walk into the building and go to the front desk.

"Excuse me," Harry says, "we're looking to talk to Child Services." The receptionist looked up from her work the moment he started to speak, and when he finished she sends a message along to the ones he wants to talk to.

"Just go down that hall, turn right, and on the left you will see the door of the office you're looking for," the woman behind the desk said with a smile.

Harry smiled back in kind. "Thank you." He turns to Castor. "Let's go get those papers signed." Castor nodded and followed him down the hall.

They walked through the door of the Child Services office and went to the front desk. The man behind the desk looks up when he saw them coming closer.

"May I help you?" he asked.

"I'm looking to adopt Castor Malfoy here. He wasn't in the system though. I found him while out on a job," Harry explained.

The man looks down to Castor. "Does he not have any family left?" he asked suspiciously.

Castor is the one to answer, "No, my parents died almost 2 years ago, and they were the only family I had left."

"How old are you, child?"

"6, almost 7," Castor answered. The man nods in acceptance and grabs some papers from inside the desk.

"Follow me," he said, leading Harry and Castor to a room, so they can sign some papers. They had to sign papers that puts Castor in the system, and then papers that say that he's adopted by Harry Potter. Harry asked Castor if he wanted to keep his last name or change it to his, but he wanted to keep it. After the papers that make Harry Castor's guardian, they snap their heads around when they heard an explosion.

"What was that?" Castor asked with wide eyes. Harry knew the answer, but doesn't tell his new official charge.

Harry makes sure that his face is just as clueless as his new son's, and waits to hear what happens. He turns to Castor and puts a hand on his shoulders. "Whatever it was, I'm sure we'll hear about it. But we should get going," said Harry.

They walk out of Child Services, and out to the front receptionist desk. Harry was just saying goodbye to the lady when a frog stops him.

"Are you from Fairy Tail?" the frog asked.

Harry turns to it. "Yeah, do you need something," he said, sounding oblivious to why the frog was really there for.

"Did you help Natsu Dragneel sneak into the Magic Council for an attack?"

"No, I thought that the other members caught him before he could do something like that. I was only here to get custody of my new son here," Harry answered and pointed to Castor.

The frog looks thoughtful. "So, what Dragneel said is true. He was only following the scent of Erza Scarlet when he escaped from the rest of Fairy Tail," he muttered. "So, he didn't know you would be here?" he asked Harry, who shrugged.

"I guess not. Natsu is very dense sometimes," he answered. "My we go now?" he asked politely.

"Yes, of cause," the frog said. "Enjoy your day sirs."

Harry and Castor made it back to the apartment after telling the rest of Fairy Tail that they'll be seeing Natsu tomorrow with Erza. He told them the whole story, and when they asked why he didn't stop the Dragon Slayer, he told them that the only one that could get through to him is Erza.

Harry greets Fawkes, who was taking a nap on his perch that he was sharing with Edge, because they didn't have another perch for him yet. Harry has to remember to get one for him when they get a new place.

'I'm going to need to go on more solo jobs to get the money I need,' Harry mused.

He walks up to Castor after seeing that he grabbed a different book, this one he doesn't remember. "Hey Castor, could I borrow Tale of the Three Brothers?" he asked.

Castor looked at him funny before handing the book over. "You do know it's a children's book, right?" his charge asked.

Right when Castor finished saying that, Harry did indeed remember that. So, he nodded his head and said, "Yeah, I do, but I saw this symbol on here on a stone that I have," Harry explained. "Thank you." He left before Castor could say anything.

Harry went back to his room and greeted Draco while also telling him that he adopted Castor today.

"Good, I'm glad he has a new father to look after him. Why do you have that book?" Draco asked when he saw the children's book in Harry's hand.

Harry looks down at the book and then back up to face the portrait. "I'm going to read it. I saw this symbol on a rock that I have, so I wanted to see if the stone, cloak, and wand have anything to do with this book," he replied.

Draco's eyes widened in shock, but Harry doesn't know why. "Well, have fun," Draco said.

"Why did you look surprised?"

"You'll find out when you read that," the picture said while pointing at the book.

Harry didn't fully understand, but didn't say anything, because he knows that he'll find out. He sits down at his desk and starts to read. He read that the three brothers used magic to cross a river that no one before them could do without dying.

'This is a children's book?!' Harry thought in shock.

Death meets the brothers and pretends to reward them with a gift of their choosing. This is where Harry realized why Draco looked surprised. The eldest brother got an unbeatable wand, the second got a stone that can bring the dead back, but Harry is sure that's can't be right, and the last got a cloak that can hide him from death.

Harry couldn't help but think that the youngest brother was the smartest one out of all of them, and the more he read the more he realized that he was right. The eldest brother was killed in his sleep after bragging about the wand, the second killed himself when he couldn't touch the woman he loved, and the third lasted the longest.

The youngest lived out his life, and when he became too old, he gave the cloak to his son, and greeted Death like an old friend.

Harry closed the book after he finished reading, and went on to think about what he read. 'This book is about the Deathly Hallows. So, that's what the stone does.' "Ack!" Harry hissed in pain and put a hand on his temple. A memory formed in his mind, showing him of the Forbidden Forest with ghosts surrounding him. He recognized his parents and Sirius, but he couldn't remember who the others were, but he knows that they were important to him.

After the memory stopped, Harry knows that the stone is what allows that to happen. 'So, it can bring back the dead, but as ghosts,' he thought. He looks at the clock and saw that it was time for dinner. 'I need to start cooking, and then get Castor and I ready for bed.' Harry got up and left the room.

Harry, Castor, and their familiars were on their way to the guild. They go inside and Harry was a little surprised to see that there is no fighting, but he understood when he saw that Erza as well as Natsu are back.

Natsu is shouting in joy of being free, which made Harry roll his eyes. 'He wouldn't even have been behind bars if he just stayed here, but what can you do?' he thought.

Harry guided his son to the bar so they could get something to eat. Harry needs to go food shopping, because he's use to just making enough for just him, but now he has one more mouth to feed. So, they ran out of food, and that's why they are eating at the guild.

They ordered their food, waited a little, and when they got it, Harry listened to Natsu's excited chatter with one ear, and listened to Castor and Romeo with the other. The two have already started to get to know each other, and Harry was sure that the two would have started yesterday, if they didn't have a long day.

"Thanks for leaving me hanging, Harry!" Harry turned when he heard this and saw Natsu playfully glaring at him. The look in the Dragon Slayer's eyes told him that he better watch himself, because Natsu is going to get back at him.

"I did warn you yesterday that you were on your own if you got caught. It's not my fault that you went on ahead and got caught on your own. If you had just stayed at the guild you wouldn't have been behind bars to begin with," Harry reminded calmly.

"Don't waste your breath, Harry. We both know that Natsu is an idiot," a voice said mockingly. Harry and everyone else in Fairy Tail snapped their heads around and up to see a blond, spiky haired man with – like Harry – a lightning bolt scar on his face.

"Laxus, when did you get back?" Harry asked.

TBC

Natsu got thrown under the bus in the beginning there. And look! Laxus showed up! I can't wait to see Natsu beat the heck out of him, or should I have Harry do that? Don't answer that until we're closer to that arc, which I believe is at the end of the Tower of Heaven arc, right? This is a short chapter, but that might be because it was a slow one. Harry's animagus training starts in the next chapter, and so is the Galuna Island arc.

Harry: We get to see what my animal form will be soon? :)

Enj/Dark: No, you don't even finish the training. You get cut off in the middle of it.

Harry: When will it be shown? :/

Enj/Dark: I'm thinking around Tenrou Island arc.

Zeref: That's a bit away.

Enj/Dark: Well, I'm thinking of skipping an arc.

Natsu: Which one?

Enj/Dark: Edolas. -_- I'm not a big fan of that arc. I'll mention it, but that's it.

Zeref: Why?

Enj/Dark: *whispers* I'm skipping it, because there will be a time I'll bring it up, but your edo self will be in it.

Zeref: Oh! OoO

Harry: Please review! :D
