Chapter 10 (Family) Revelations

21st August 1993, Lady Bones office, Bones Manor

It is late but Amelia is still in the Lady Bones office she can use as long as she is Regent Bones and Susan does not want Harry to take control of House Bones or Harry doesn't want to. She working on how to make it look like she is trying to capture Sirius to the Wizengamot and her Aurors without really doing it. She wonders if he is still at the Tonks' house or not. She also doesn't know if Andi will take Harry's guardianship although if Harry's youth was any indication Andromeda Tonks would agree within a second and without a second thought.

She hears a noise at the closed window behind her. She looks and sees Hedwig with a letter. She wonders why. She opens the window. Hedwig jumps inside and drops the letter before flying to the chair. She sits on the backrest like it is a perch and closes her eyes.

Amelia looks confused at Hedwig. She thinks 'it is really a peculiar owl. Let's look at the letter.'

Amelia sees it addressed to her. She immediately notices it is not Sirius or Harry's handwriting. She wonders wrote to her but must have some kind of connection to Harry or Hedwig would not have delivered it at least she thinks.

She opens the letter and reads.

Dear Madam Bones,

I am Andromeda Tonks and yes Nymphadora is my daughter. I think you can still remember me although since James and Lily's death we haven't talked with each other. I have the feeling that will change in the coming years.

Anyway, I thought to write you to let you know I officially took guardianship until the mutt can fulfil his duties or at least be as good as he can ever be. I will try to be always involved but that is of later concern.

I want to let you know that Harry will stay at the Leaky Cauldron from the 25th of August until September 1st at his own request because his best friend stays there at the same time.

I think you are trying to find a way to pretend you seek the mutt and I thought if you have someone protect Harry it may look good for you if the people think he is after Harry what technically is the truth although with a different reason than most will think.

Harry probably doesn't want a protection detail so what if we decide that someone who can be everyone who she wants to be would probably be best. If you decide to do that and let her stay at the Leaky Cauldron during the same time she can keep an eye on Harry. I am sure she will love it too. I wouldn't be surprised if in the future she and Susan become very good friends even though Dora tries to deny it. Let's just say I can understand the appeal. If I was around Dora's age I would not hesitate. Anyway, I digress.

I hope you consider my idea and will let me know the decision you make. If you decide to follow my advice you can better tell Dora soon but make sure she must not get caught by Harry staring at him or he somehow discovers her even when she is changed.

According to the mutt, you know Dumbledore is not as light as he is supposed to be and also is the reason Harry didn't know about his House or about Susan's marriage contract other things. We think it is better to keep Dumbledore in the dark for now I hope you agree.

Kind regards,

Andromeda Tonks
Regent of House Potter
Guardian of Harry James Potter

Amelia smiles. She knows that Sirius spoke in his sleep and sometimes during the day the last couple of days and everything looks like he is after Harry. She was already thinking to let Auror shadow Harry if he went out of the Tonks House. Tonks is the best option by her natural ability but she is only an Auror Trainee and while she is one of the best according to Master Auror Moody she cannot let her be the only Auror watching after Harry that would make her look she doesn't care enough about Harry while she does and not only for Susan.

She grabs parchment, an inkpot and a quill. She writes back.

Dear Madam Tonks,

I do remember you. Auror Trainee Tonks does talk a lot about you, especially her concern after the unfortunate death of your husband. I will come straight to the point. I had no idea Harry want to stay at the Leaky Cauldron. I don't care why but as Sirius is after Harry …or at least that is what everyone believes Harry should be protected by Aurors. Harry doesn't look like the boy who likes having Aurors with him as protection detail.

Auror trainee Tonks is the best option by her natural ability. As she isn't an Auror and that can make a problem. It can make it look like I don't take Padfoot serious. Undoubtedly some Wizengamot members know or at least remember I was close to Sirius. If I do not show I take Sirius, sorry for the pun, seriously members will ask for my job or conflict of interest making someone else the head to hunt for him.

I will talk with Tonks. However, I wonder if you suggest that I bring the Aurors I trust the most up to speed and the truth about Padfoot. There are a couple I know I can trust and with seeing Padfoot like he is I will have no problem with letting them go after him. There are a couple of Aurors I can completely trust. As Aurors need to give an oath I can use that so they can't tell Dumbledore that we know about Padfoot and that he is after Pettigrew while trying to protect Harry even if Harry doesn't know it seems. The oath will protect them from Legilimency as long as it isn't a powerful Legilimens that can through shields and the oath.

I hope to hear from you soon about trustworthy Aurors and I have an idea to 'protect' Harry from Sirius that would probably be enough to convince most if not all Wizengamot members… well except the Dark Houses. It is better if you let Tonks bring it to me than use the owl. While it is a beautiful owl and probably also very smart from what I have seen she is too recognizable.

Kind regards,
Amelia Bones,
Director of the DMLE
Regent of House Bones

21st August 1993, Tonks House

A few minutes before midnight Hedwig flies in and drops the letter Amelia send back. She immediately grabs the other letter to take the long flight to Hogwarts, but for her master, she will fly all over the world if that is what he asked of her. She doesn't want to disappoint him and his new family who are much better than the other ones.

22nd August 1993, Professor McGonagall's office, Hogwarts

Professor McGonagall is in her office on the fifth floor very close to the stairs case that will lead her immediately to the Gryffindor Common Room. She is barely 10 minutes away from the Gryffindor Common Room and that is if she walks normally. If she needs to run or be fast she will be there within 5 minutes.

The breakfast was nice. She is still wondering if she must confront Dumbledore about what she now knows without mentioning Sirius or if she must act normal and only change that she wants to talk to Harry about her parents. Even if she tells Dumbledore and he would advise that is not a good idea she will say that it doesn't matter. If Harry is mad if he uses that argument she will say that she thinks Harry is mature enough he will not be and even if he is he deserves to know more about his parents.

She is still thinking when she hears a sound on her window and sees Hedwig with a letter. She opens the window. Hedwig flies to her desk and drops the letter. When Hedwig doesn't leave she conjures a perch for Hedwig. She happily hoots before flying to the perch. Instead of going to sleep, Hedwig stays awake. Professor McGonagall understands that Hedwig will wait for her response.

She was busy with duties as deputy headmistress mostly as Dumbledore is away, but she immediately decide to let that wait. The letter is probably much more important.

Dear Professor McGonagall,

I thought that it would be a good idea to let you know I, Andromeda Tonks have taken guardianship of Harry James Potter, Heir of House Potter until his real guardian is fit to take care of him after he has healed after his horrific ordeal. While the ministry may not accept it Gringotts has the signed paperwork and magic accepted it.

It also means if anything happens to Harry I want to be notified and more importantly for the time being I would prefer if you don't tell Headmaster Dumbledore that I am Harry's rightful guardian. I as do Padfoot am disturbed with the interest Dumbledore shows in Harry not mentioning he forged James and Lily's will with help of Gringotts, but we think Dumbledore persuade the Goblin(s) who helped him as the Account Manager of House Potter and King Ragnarok have never signed a will and the will of James and Lily were close by Dumbledore as Chief Warlock.

Also, it seems that Dumbledore with Mrs. Weasley kept Harry's key which under Gringotts rules isn't allowed unless the owner is underage when the guardian will keep the key (unless the guardian decides otherwise) the Heir should give permission for someone else to keep or it is in the will from James and Lily someone else should keep it. None happened as Harry didn't even know that rule and he never agreed that Dumbledore or Mrs. Weasley was allowed to keep the key to his trust vault.

I hope with these new questionable actions of Dumbledore and Mrs. Weasley you will not blindly follow Dumbledore anymore and be on Harry's side. We don't know when we reveal Harry to be my ward and when we try to get Padfoot free but for now, I hope that we get you to be there for Harry, especially at Hogwarts.

Dumbledore isn't light as he pretends to be Professor McGonagall. He is the reason Harry is guarded about his relatives and also why he didn't know about his marriage contract with Susan Bones and more about his house. While Dumbledore doesn't know much about House Potter he could have at least told Harry about the difference between the different titles like ancient and noble as House Potter is a Most Ancient and Most Noble along with talking about James and Charlus his father if not more. He did never mentioned anything.

I don't need a response just tell Hedwig to go. If you do want to send a response all I want to know if is you are on Harry's side and not blindly follow Dumbledore or at least think about it before agreeing or denying him. Think about what is best for Harry, don't think about what might be.

Kind regards,

Andromeda Tonks
Regent of House Potter
Guardian of Harry James Potter

Professor McGonagall nods mostly to herself. She will as after failing her godson she cannot fail Harry again. Sirius was clear in that and she knows she did now she looked back at the first two years. She should also have checked up on Harry despite Dumbledore's reassurance that everything was fine. She now knows it wasn't. She doesn't know how to get Harry to tell her also he has no reason to trust her … at least not yet.

Professor McGonagall decides to respond. She starts writing while Hedwig is looking at her. She waits until this woman is ready with a letter that needs to be returned to the house her master is in.

Dear Madam Tonks,

I am happy to see that you have taken Guardianship over Harry. I understand that Padfoot is the real guardian but I do hope that you will always be there to rein him in as Amelia can't at the moment. I am happy that Harry has his family back. Yes, I know that James's mother was a Black she was after all one of my best friends. Many wizards and witches seem to have forgotten that or at least not acknowledged that fact.

I will make sure that if anything happens I will notify you. If possible I will ask Harry's owl as I am sure she will not let anyone else take the letter if it is sent to you. Maybe she will still allow Harry to take any letter even if it isn't for him, but he will be the only one. I believe Padfoot but I do think there may be a reason Dumbledore did it. I do not want to say I completely trust Dumbledore's decision but there may be some reason for it. I agree many actions are questionable, but he is still Dumbledore. I, however, promise to not blindly follow him., not anymore especially if it is about Harry I will make my own decision and if needed confront him over Harry (or his friends and wife Susan Bones).

I agree that Harry should have kept his own key when he turned eleven unless he wanted someone to keep it, but as I understand he never did. It is again questionable. I know I trust Dumbledore I just don't know if I can. I will never say he isn't a great wizard but I can assure you I am on Harry's side. Now and forever, I just hope when I meet Lily and James again they will forgive me or that I have enough time for them to forgive me.

While Dumbledore may be questionable he still means well, but I agree he may not be as light as he should be. He has survived two dark lords, I can understand you change want may not always be the best way but needed to prevent others from rising and therefore he will not be as light. I still believe Dumbledore means well and is still someone for the light houses to trust although like I said not blindly, unfortunately, most do with a few having a wizengamot seat but many do not like the Weasley's or at least Molly, not Arthur.

I hope you can trust me to do better and be better. If I need you for Harry, especially against Dumbledore II will let you know. We don't need to tell him you are his guardian as you are part of Harry's family.

Kind regards,

Professor McGonagall
Hogwarts Transfiguration Professor
Hogwarts Head of House Gryffindor
Hogwarts Deputy Headmistress

Professor McGonagall is happy with the letter. She put it in an envelope and asks "Hedwig can you deliver this to Andromeda Tonks?"

Hedwig flies to the desk, grabs the envelope and flies out of the window.

22nd August 1993, kitchen, Tonks House

Andi has a smile on her face. Harry and Sirius are starting to look a bit better although both still have a long way to go. She is also happy Amelia agrees with her. She wonders how Dora would react when she is told by Amelia. Andi thinks she will be happy although if she is then she can lose concertation which can make her lose control of herself. Andi wonders if Harry maybe thinks about Dora when different women look at him at different times and don't look at his scar.

Andi hasn't seen Dora look at Harry's scar ones this whole time, well once the first time but it was not more than a second and barely noticeable.

Andi thinks 'maybe I need to add the rule to let Dora watch him just to be sure. Maybe I need to tell Harry that someone may try to take advantage of him with Sirius being free maybe even try to hurt him. On the other hand, if Dora keeps watching him with his best friend, his best friend maybe notice especially if she is just as observant as Lily.'

Before she can think about Hedwig flies in with a letter. She grabs the letter while giving Hedwig a little scratch and grab feeds her some bacon flavoured owl treats she prepared.

After almost half an hour Hedwig flies to her perch and starts to sleep. Andi slowly starts to make lunch for herself, Sirius and Harry because Dora is on duty. Harry and Sirius are working on their Occlumency although Harry sometimes reads some of his books for the coming year or plays with Athena and Hedwig although this time Hedwig is asleep.

Andi wonders to write Amelia back and give her an idea to protect Harry more like station some Aurors in the Leaky Cauldron to protect it from Sirius as an important location while protecting Harry at the same time although it doesn't look like that and do the same in Diagon Alley when he goes into Diagon Alley what he will do if his best friend wants to. She knows that he will not doubt going with his best friend even if it is before breakfast or after dinner despite her rules. She smiles as she remembers James's disregard for the rules and Sirius was even worse.

Harry looks a lot like James and not for a minute does she think Harry hasn't ever broken any rules it is the opposite she thinks Harry broke as many rules as he can without getting in too much trouble. She isn't afraid of Harry getting expelled as since Dumbledore became headmaster no student was expelled from Hogwarts at least not by Dumbledore. A few were expelled by the ministry while they shouldn't have power over Hogwarts and they haven't. They do have the power to expel students from any magical school if they broke the law.

22nd August 1993, Office Director of the DMLE, Level 2, Ministry of Magic

Amelia is looking to the report for the search on Sirius and it seems they have no clues and therefore aren't even close unless they know he went south after coming ashore. Some think he is grabbed by a wolf as they found dog tracks close to where he came ashore. Amelia thinks 'that is probably Padfoot.'

She hears a knock. She says "enter."

It is her secretary Emily. She says Tonks is there. Amelia thanks her and asks her to send Tonks in.

When Tonks enters Amelia uses her wand to close the door and cast privacy charms and locking charms that no normal easy charm can open.

She gestures for Tonks to take a seat. After almost a minute after finishing the report she was reading she says "Auror Trainee Tonks, I don't know if you have heard but Harry Potter will stay at the Leaky Cauldron for some days in the end. I will have Aurors stay in the Leaky Cauldron and in Diagon Alley because of Sirius Black. I barely have the manpower to give him a protection detail. I think Harry Potter also doesn't want it. As you can change your shape to other women I want you to shadow Harry Potter when he enters shops or stays at the Leaky Cauldron due to his best friend that is Hermione Granger according to my information."

Amelia doesn't mention that Susan gave her the information. Although if she thinks back at the talk with Harry Amelia is certain Susan is right.

Tonks is so happy she can be around Harry more her hair starts to shift through many colours.

Amelia says "control yourself Auror Trainee Tonks."

It takes a couple of minutes before her vibrant pink hair returns. When that happened Amelia says "I guess that means you would love to do it?"

Tonks nods almost as enthusiastically as Dobby when Harry asks him something to do.

Amelia says "great. I will give you the 24th and the 25th off so you can stay with Harry when he goes to the Leaky Cauldron and we don't need to find out where he stays from Tom. When you get a room close to him make sure you will at least one room closely for his best friend and I want you to protect her too when needed. I can almost say she is more important than Harry."

"When you stay at the Leaky Cauldron send me all the bills as they will be paid by the ministry as it is an official DMLE mission."

Tonks nods and says "I will Director Bones and between you and me I will love to have a close look at Harry … to make sure he is safe I mean."

Amelia nods and sends her back to work. When she leaves and closes the door Amelia thinks 'I see want Andromeda means. I wonder how Susan would like to have Tonks as sister-wife. It may be awkward having an Auror who works for your aunt as a sister-wife. Well, we should see if Tonks and Harry get together although I also understand why Andromeda mentioned appeal and if she was near Harry's age she would not hesitate which means Tonks does hesitate. Probably about the age difference as Harry is only 13.'

'I think I can also understand the appeal but I am happy that I have Siri although I first need to get him free before I can really be with him.'

22nd August 1993, living room, Tonks House

It was almost dinner when an eagle appears at a closed window. He uses his beak to make a sound. Harry sees the eagle and opens the window. The eagle gives what sounds like a thankful shriek before eagle flies to the table drops the letter and flies out again.

Andi walks in and sees the letter. She grabs it and says "Harry this is from Gringotts for you."

Harry walks to the table and takes a seat. Andi gives him the letter. Harry grabs the letter before opening it. He opens it and reads.

Heir Potter,

I want to inform you that the request with the Basilisks fangs has been completed and we await your letter about how you want to receive the knife and necklace. As we explained we think it is better if you come to get in personally but again that is your decision. If it is possible I would like to know your answer as soon as possible.

I eagerly await your answer.

Kind regards,

Account Manager Bloodtooth
Account Manager of the most ancient and most noble House of Potter
Gringotts Branch, London, England

Harry tells Andi what he got and Andi immediately gets some parchment so he can reply.

Harry asks "what should I do?"

Andi says "I think you should get it yourself as the Bloodtooth and King Ragnarok advised. If you want we can get it the 25th when we go through the Alley anyway."

Harry asks "are you sure Andi?"

Andi nods and says "of course Harry, dear. I am sure we have more than enough time. You also need to send Hermione a letter you will see her there. If you can ask her to meet her there right before dinner we will have certainly more than enough time. If she asks about your relatives you can say that they let you go as they didn't mind or something that sounds likely."

Harry nods and starts to write two letters. After he is done with the first letter he says "Hedwig."

Within a few seconds, Hedwig flies into the living room. He smiles and when she has landed on his shoulder gives her a few scratches. He asks "Hedwig can you deliver this letter to Account Manager Bloodtooth at Gringotts?"

Hedwig hoots. Harry says "that is great. If he needs to want to send back wait until he gives you a letter. Then when you return I have a letter ready and can you deliver Hermione a letter and wait on her response?"

Hedwig hoots again. Harry smiles and says "thank Hedwig I will make sure I get you some bacon strips when you return."

Hedwig bumps her head against his before giving him a gentle nib on his finger before she jumps on the table and grabs the letter. She flies out of the open window.

Andi says "I will leave the window open Harry. Now come on wash your hands dinner is almost ready."

Harry nods. He has been brewing some first-year potions with Andi's help so needs to wash his hand after cutting and preparing ingredients. And is so good that she even changed some recipes slightly in the potion books for Harry as the recipes weren't good enough or she has experienced other things to work better like crushing instead of cutting or stirring less or more after doing the amount to it in the opposite direction a few times even if it isn't said to do it.

She made the recipes better, not all but still a couple. Andi almost cursed a few times as there are some nonsense recipes. Many recipes were mostly right but a very few were (almost) completely wrong that Andi fixed. Harry did notice a couple of those wrong recipes Snape made them brew and he knows Snape put the instructions on the blackboard just like the wrong recipe is.

22nd August 1993, Tonks House

It is late when Hedwig came back. Bloodtooth has sent that it was alright and that they need to ask for him when they go to Gringotts on the 25th. Now Hedwig has the answer of Hermione.

She flies in and sees that Harry, Sirius, Andi and Dora are still awake in the living room. She drops the letter before her master and lands on his shoulder. Athena is on the ground and gives her a sis which Hedwig answers with a hoot.

Andi asks "Harry why don't you open the letter? I for one like to know if she knows how late she will be there."

Harry nods and opens the letter.

Dear Harry,

I am great to hear that you can stay at the Leaky Cauldron for the last couple of days when I stay there. I will be there at 4 pm with my mother and father as they want to have dinner with me. If you want you can join us for dinner. They love to meet you. Please say you do Harry.

I want to tell you so many things about France and what I already read in books for the electives in the coming year. Ancient Runes seems so interesting and Arithmancy looks like simple algebra for the first few chapters. Until the last few chapters, it is algebra and what the digit means.

Have you been able to open the care of magical creatures books? I tried but I needed Daddy to help me close the book. I thought if you try to read it you will be able to but instead, it just attacked me. I tried to make the book calm and thought he would turn back to a book but I was …. incorrect.

Maybe we can both see if we can read the book. I wonder why the teacher would assign a monster book. It looks like me something Hagrid would assign us. I think he would be a nice teacher but he doesn't even OWL so he can't be although he may know his animals.

Divination sounds like woolly and a lot of guesswork. I believe seers and prophecies exist although prophecies are always vague. The Grimm however, is a very interesting concept and the muggles have also something like that like when you see the Grim Reaper it is a sign you die soon.

Muggle studies seem very outdated like muggles will never get to the moon and telephones are seen as the newest technology that can never rival floo calls and that portable telephones are made but will never work as they could never rival wizarding technology. Not to mention they don't know what cars and computers are meant for although they seem to think cars are for travel. I think Mr. Weasley would even be a better teacher no offence to the Weasleys. I wonder if the author has ever been in the muggle world let stand a muggle household and as the teachers assigned the book I wonder if she ever has.

I see you there Harry.

Love,

Hermione

23rd August 1993, Tonks House

Harry lies in his bed unable to get to sleep. He remembers everything Sirius and Andi told him. It started all normal.

**Flashback**

Andi says "Harry, I and Sirius need to talk to you."

Dora has an evening shift and will come home late. They are sitting in the kitchen. Harry wonders and hopes Andi didn't reconsider staying at the Leaky Cauldron for Harry.

Andi says "Harry, to protect you Sirius isn't Regent Potter at the moment. I am acting Regent Potter at the moment as Sirius is seen as an escaped convict. I tell you this as this is important. If someone wants something from House Potter and doesn't need an immediate answer send me a letter immediately and I will talk with parents or guardians. If you need to answer immediately maybe Susan as one of your future wives can help you or maybe your best friend Hermione Granger or maybe even Daphne. Do you understand?"

Harry nods. Andi continues "if it is a money issue there is mostly a time before you need to decide, the same goes for things about House Potter. In old times marriage contracts were often used as payment, it still happens quite often although it is mostly to sign a marriage contract. If you ever decide to endanger Susan by betting the marriage contract or trying to sell it you better get ready to never see daylight again because I will ground you for life in a dungeon if I don't kill you."

Harry sees the anger in Andi's eyes. Sirius says "Andi doesn't scare Harry like that."

Andi sees the fear in Harry's eyes and immediately softens a bit. She says "sorry Harry if I scared you but I need to make my point across."

Before Harry can say anything Sirius says "Andi will you are right this is Harry we are talking about James and Lily's son and a Gryffindor. I am sure he will never do that will you Harry? You will protect Susan with your lives right?"

Harry just nods. Andi hugs Harry tight and says "I am sorry Harry. I never want to be mad at you. I really love you but I was a bit too forceful I think."

Harry can do nothing but hug Andi back with silent tears. He says "I will never do it, Andi. I have already started to feel something for Susan. I don't know what it is but it is nothing bad."

Andi says gently "that is good to hear Harry. If you already feel things for her it will surely turn into love in time maybe sooner rather than later. As we get to love now we need to talk about a certain aspect of love."

Andi sees the tears and says "don't cry, Harry. I never want to be mad at you and I think I will never be very mad. As your guardian, I want to help you with everything and be someone you can rely on at least until you marry. You don't even move out until you get too many wives that is unless you move to a large house then you can always stay with us although we may add buildings when you get all your wives pregnant which brings us to that certain aspect of love."

Harry walks a bit confused and clueless. Inside Sirius smiles and screams of horror at the same time. He thinks 'fate is a bitch or is this fate's vengeance for me mercilessly teasing James to give him the talk that now I must do it.'

Andi looks at Sirius. Harry seems to notice as looks at Sirius. Seeing Harry's look Sirius smiles and inside laughs at how red Harry will be at the end or how large his smile will be with Susan and maybe other attractive girls in his mind. Sirius can't wait to see Hermione and Harry's reactions. Sirius wonders if Harry has the same look at Hermione as James did at Lily.

Both of them are the smartest of their generation it was one of the traits that make James love Lily although he sometimes cursed himself to fall for her intelligence. He loved her for then only her intelligence but her intelligence was a pain in the arse when they tried to do pranks or needed to not tell the whole truth. She always saw right through James although she also has that with Moony, him and sometimes Frank.

Andi gives Sirius a look to make him start. Sirius nods.

Sirius says "well Harry normally your father should do this and while I am your godfather I never imagined I should do it or at least that at this age you still need it. Let me ask you this, do you know how babies are made?"

Harry blushes and says "yes, at school it was mandatory despite my relatives' objection to me knowing but as it was just primary school. It involves a female and a male like Susan and me. Eventually, the woman gives birth but it was never really explained how or something only that it should be after marriage, can only happen if the man and woman love each other and should only try if they love each other."

Sirius smiles and says "indeed it does. It is important for the continuing of your House and Susan's House, Harry especially as you and Susan are the last of the House.

** End Flashback**

After that the most embarrassing and awkward conversation he has ever had took place. He remembers every part of it. He wishes he never will never have such an awkward and embarrassing talk again. He almost wishes Lockhart did manage to obliviate him at least with the only difference Ginny or anyone else wasn't in danger or in Ginny's case life-threatening and dying.

He is happy Andi was with the talk and explained something and a few times reined Sirius in when they went a bit too much into detail while it was very interesting and it would certainly waken some fantasies in his dreams and daydreams as already had one when he went to bad that is now hours ago. The daydream or better said night dream without sleeping was with Susan being pregnant and they have a happy loving marriage and something about his other wives were so happy that they couldn't wait to be pregnant except his first wives as they were even further along than she was as she was about 7 months she said when he asked.

The dream made him intensely happy and hoped that someday it will be like that, but somehow he highly doubt that. He never had something good in his life until Hogwarts and now a family. Harry hopes this will stay but secretly and deep down he knows it he is just waiting for it to crash and burn. He knows that especially the marriage contract with a nice and beautiful girl like Susan is too much luck for him and it will only crash and burn more as time progress without anything happening.

Without wanting to he remembers everything he needs to do to get a girl pregnant and even what Sirius knows girls will like. He wonders why Andi didn't stop Sirius then. Andi told Harry about menstruation and that girls get the best chance to get pregnant about two weeks after it started although it isn't uncommon that it happens earlier or later in the cycle Andi explained. She also said most girls or better said women during menstruation feel bad and is a bit easier to make them angry even if the girls normally wouldn't get mad. She said there are potions to help with the feeling of being gross and also help that girls will not get angry that soon.

Andi says that the potions aren't too difficult to make but they will have side effects. The side effects could be removed or at least lessened if you add some other ingredients and slightly change the instructions or make a different potion to cancel the side effects. Andi says that most probably Madam Pomfrey should have the potion and should remember that if a girl feels really bad during her menstruation like pain or gets angry with almost every word.

As the wizarding society is still in the Victorian age girls only get it if they ask Madam Pomfrey what only the purebloods know. Andi thinks it is another way for purebloods to disadvantage muggleborns and half-bloods to stop the disease of muggleborns from spreading and to stop dirtying the wizarding society with muggleborns as the potion for the feeling is also a contraceptive until the next menstruation. Girls will be easier to ensnare boys keeping them away from muggleborn girls and half-bloods who don't live like wizards and witches.

24th August 1993, Kitchen, Tonks House

Sirius and Andi are sitting in the kitchen. Sirius says "it was very awkward yesterday."

Andi says "yes it was but it was needed. Harry needs to understand and while I was not happy with you going too far in some things like your own experiences or what girls like it was informative nonetheless. Maybe I should have stopped you a few times."

"I am happy to at least tell Harry what I know from a muggle and magical point of view."

Sirius says "I am not sure telling him about the potion and certainly not of your feelings about how muggleborns and half-bloods are more or less discriminated in the wizarding society although he already knows it is."

Andi says "maybe not but he has a couple of girlfriends or like he says friends who are girls that may not know or aren't allowed to tell the other muggleborn girls. Certainly, in the last century if not more virginity clauses in marriage clauses are very rare and girls can use it to awaken the lust in a boy before introducing her to a pureblood friend. Also, the boy will use the girls for many things if the boy desire to."

Sirius solemnly nods and he knows it has happened. Andi says "I know Harry will never will but it still happened and probably still happens. Anyway, we have moved past the awkward part you can tell him more about the Lordship from House Potter, House Black and House Bones entails although I wouldn't mention him being Heir Black and already having a girl for House Black. When Harry stays in the Leaky Cauldron we will talk more about it without Harry the chance of walking on us."

Sirius nods and says "yes Andi but that wasn't my fault."

Andi says "I can't believe I am going to say this but Sirius Black it isn't your fault. You didn't know it would happen by making Harry Heir of House Black what I fully support."

Sirius gave a mischievous smile and says "well I may have heard it many years ago but I can honestly say I didn't remember until Ravenfang told me it was between House Black and House Greengrass."

Andi shakes her head.

Almost 15 minutes later Hedwig flies into the kitchen and as expected Harry enters barely a few seconds later. He sees Sirius and Andi and can't suppress a big blush. Andi gives a gently smile and Sirius is laughing hard barely preventing himself from falling to the ground.

Andi says "Harry, I understand it was awkward and probably embarrassing but you need to know it especially as you have an important task of continuing your House and helping Susan with hers."

Harry blushes and takes a seat before he says "I understand and now I know in more detail how to get a child what both Susan and I want… uhhhhhh more than once."

Sirius gets a look from Andi and he stops laughing. When Andi's eyes didn't change or look away Sirius understand.

Sirius says "now that you know I think it would be a good idea to explain a bit more what is expected as being the last Potter as I know as the last Black from the main family line."

Harry looks confused. Sirius says "I mean that my father's line goes all the way back to the first Lord Black. Indeed, Andi and Dora are also Blacks but they are female. Most Houses including House Black find males much more important and give the Lordship to a male even if the firstborn is a girl. Andi's father was the cousin of my great-grandfather. Her father was the third oldest son and my great-grandfather was the first. My father was second born, but the first was a girl."

When Sirius doesn't say anything else and says "and your mother!"

Sirius sighs and says "my mother is Andi's Aunt and the oldest child of her great-grandfather Pollux Black."

Harry says "your father and mother were related?"

Sirius nods and says "yes they were second cousins, paternal second cousins. Believe me, my father was anything more than happy although my grandfather was maybe not overjoyed but happy nonetheless. It is a wonder I have magic at all and not be a squib."

Harry looks at Andi and she says "that is not important Harry. Don't worry about it."

Harry asks "what is a squib?"

Sirius says "the exact opposite of muggleborns."

Harry asks "children with no magic while the parents are magical?"

Andi says "exactly Harry. It happens only in old families with years of magical marriages?"

Harry asks "so I could have been one too?"

Andi says "no Harry. House Potter is one of the oldest but every now and then, House Potter married muggleborns to keep the magic strong beside the love they had for each other of course. The muggleborns were always females made sure that the blood and magic don't weaken what it does by pureblood inbred families. It may be important to tell you that most of the purebloods only have one child especially if it is a male although I know for a fact your parents and grandparents would have loved nothing more than more children that they will love just as much as you."

"Your parents were killed before they could conceive another child and with you, grandparents had trouble conceiving. It took years before James was conceived. It was almost a miracle he was born without trouble and with magic and all although until his fifth year I do wonder if he didn't miss part of his brain."

"There are, of course, exceptions like the Weasley's as Arthur and Molly are both pureblood from a long family although nowhere as old as yours, House Potter or House Black and House Bones and Longbottom for that matter."

Sirius says "also House Greengrass for your friend Daphne is also one of the exceptions."

Andi says "it mostly happens if there are close family lines, especially for a couple of generations. The closest to you would be Nymphadora as she is your second cousin once removed as am I, I guess although if there would be a child between you two the change it is a squib is almost non-existence as you are both strong and have no close family ties and even if you had it would be the first generation when it never happens including you both have a muggleborn as a parent."

Andi gives Sirius a wink to tell him she thinks Nymphadora likes Harry a lot more than just family members. Sirius gives a large smile and gets a mischievous smile that Andi doesn't see.

Andi stands up and says "I need to continue the potion I am brewing for both of you."

Andi leaves and Sirius says "Harry I think I can better tell you a bit more about having a Lordship, about what is expected of you and probably most important what that means with an active marriage contract, what it means with Susan and what it means with any additional wives what is pretty much required."

Harry nods with a small blush. Harry will never admit it but a couple of girls were in his dream the little time he slept last night about being one of his wives. The best way that no one had a problem with it was in his dream. It was a couple of the girls that he knew like Katie, Su Li, the Patil twins, Megan Jones, Tracey and what kind of disturbed him wat Daphne and Hermione at the same time but when he thinks about it when he is awake he secretly hopes for it. He also saw his betrothed Susan and he swears he saw red hair that reminds him the most of Ginny but also someone with blond hair around Ginny's age he guesses as he didn't see her face only a little bit of her long blond hair.

Sirius waits as he sees Harry is lost in thought when he sees Harry coming back to reality he says "Harry there is a chance you can become Lord Potter after you complete your OWL's. It is your parents' wish to do so. Of course, I understand if you don't want that but I think you should at least need think about it. Many requirements and rules need to be fulfilled. I am not sure how much and what they are but I do know the two most important in my opinion are fulfilled."

"Andi and I will agree if you are sure and you need to have an active marriage contract, however, this can be a bit of a problem. Yes, you have Susan but as she needs to continue House Bones you may need to have or make a marriage contract for House Potter and be sure to have it active to make it watertight like Lily liked to say."

"Also as you will become emancipated if you want Susan will come too as your wife for House Bones it will also mean that you still need to marry before you leave Hogwarts and I am afraid that Susan needs to be pregnant no later than Yule seventh year meaning she will most probably give birth before she takes her NEWT's as I guess you allow her to take her NEWT's."

Harry nods while being shocked. Sirius smiles.

Sirius continues "while it seems maybe a bit scary you becoming Lord Potter at age 15 will give you a lot of benefits and protection as I mentioned before the law if for purebloods what you then will be a young strong Pureblood Lord of the most ancient and most noble House of Potter. You are strong not only magically what you undoubtedly are but also have a huge political cloud and when your grandfather was in the wizengamot if my memories serve me right House Potter had a lot of Allies."

"Your father never managed to take his seat in the wizengamot because of the civil war with Voldemort. The wizengamot still gathered but your father already had a larger target on his back than others. There have been whole families murdered when they wanted to increase the chance to get Voldemort and his followers and also have bigger punishment. Those who came with the idea or vote in favour was in danger and quite a couple of Lords paid the price with a few Houses losing all members."

"Some Lords had (barely) adult sons who were in Hogwarts at school or lived somewhere else so the House didn't die out. Or you managed to fight the Death Eater off what only a few did like your grandparents Harry. They attacked Potter Manor where your grandparents and parents were. They fought off the Death Eaters especially when Aurors showed up but not before your grandfather was killed and your grandmother was very injured and succumbed to the injuries later the same night. James and Lily managed to kill the ones who killed Charlus and those who injured Dorea."

"They did manage to kill about half of the attack force and at least heavily injured almost the entire other half and managed to capture a couple of Death Eaters. Unfortunately, those that were captured 'escaped' and all had died at the end of the war one way or the other. But let me clear Harry your father and mother didn't use dark spells. There are spells you will learn in Hogwarts that can be devastating and have the ability to kill others."

"You may wonder why I tell you this Harry. It is important to know as there are still followers of Voldemort free and I have no doubt that they hate you. While I think you can defeat them with the power they have experience and probably now more spells. They are still on the loose and while they claim they were controlled many of those who were against Voldemort highly doubt that I included. Before you ask Dumbledore believes it or at least thinks they are redeemable and maybe even believe they learned their lesson what I know they surely did not."

"This is also the reason why many Heirs have a child soon or at least after they have a job with is mostly early in their twenties. Just like your parents were both 20 when you were born and they were still in their education for the job. James was like me an Auror like you saw when Amy came to get us in the Leaky Cauldron and Lily wanted to become a Healer like Andi is."

"I don't know if Lily wanted to work with children and mothers like Andi but they both have the same education as mediwitches before choosing your field to become a Healer. I and James were just started training to become a Hitwizard besides Auror training. We only did it as we hoped to take out as many followers of Voldemort and if we were lucky him too. All for our future children. I and James would maybe even change our profession if we stopped Voldemort which we, unfortunately, couldn't do but you did at the loss of your parents."

Harry decides to say "I don't think Voldemort is gone at least not completely. I didn't tell you as I didn't want to worry you or that you think bad of me but in my first year the DADA teacher had Voldemort on the back of his head and tried to steal the Philosopher stone but I managed to stop him as when he tried to touch me the teacher burned himself."

"Last year a diary possessed Ginny and try to steal her life energy to come back and he was Voldemort. I managed to stab the diary with a basilisk fang that saved Ginny."

Sirius asks "did you ask Dumbledore?"

Harry shakes his head and says "no, but he seems to know it was Voldemort both times. I did ask why Voldemort was after me but he said he didn't know. He never said that Voldemort was gone now or seems surprised he wasn't gone."

Sirius has a look with the determination that if Voldemort wasn't gone he will protect Harry. If Voldemort is after Harry he will help him to get rid of Voldemort even if it cost him his life.

Sirius says "well let's not talk about him. He doesn't deserve it. It is your job to make sure your House continue like Susan needs to continue hers which gives you is one of the reasons for you to have more wives."

"Just like Susan, you want a large family. I would advise you as soon as you become Lord Potter try to persuade your wife to try to have children and not use the potion or contraception charm. I don't want you to force her. If she isn't sure I would suggest doing the same as James did, just talk to your wives and explain the importance of continuing your house and they wish to have a big family which also means a lot of children. Although as you can become Lord Potter at age 15 I advise you to wait until after your NEWT's… unless your wives don't want to wait."

Andi apparently hears Sirius as she shouts "SIRIUS! DON'T CORRUPT HARRY."

Sirius says "but Andi Harry as a husband must also take care of his wives' needs."

Andi murmurs something that sounds like she wants to disagree with Sirius but she can't as it is true. Husbands' needs and wives' needs should be taken care of by their husbands or wife if they love each other not like Lucius and Narcissa.

Andi shouts "but only if she wants that to happen or Harry has the time or wants to."

Sirius shouts "sure. I am sure Harry doesn't want to."

Harry gets red again from blushing as he thinks he doesn't want to. He will love to please his wives …. all of them not only Ladies Potter but also his Lady Bones.

Sirius says "anyway Harry. As I mentioned about the danger in the wizarding world you mustn't wait too long as you are the last of House Potter to my knowledge no one has a claim if you die. The closest is probably House Longbottom but I think the claim will not work as for very many generations House Potter only had sons like you Harry, your father, your grandfather and many generations before like I told you."

Harry groans but nods as he remembers the big headache he had after the history of his house. Sirius smiles but is happy not to have explained it again or about Lordships. Andi walks back inside. She has heard what Sirius has said.

Andi says "Harry dear, what Sirius forgot to say is that there is probably also some magic at work for the most ancient and most noble houses to get at least one heir at a relatively young age. If House Tonks was a most ancient and most noble House I think Dora would already be married and pregnant if she didn't already would have a child, especially she would be the only one to continue House Tonks as Ted is gone and while I have no intention to remarry if I would get the name of my new husband."

Sirius says "as you are a male Harry you can have multiple wives to make sure House Potter doesn't die out. Your father, grandfather and further back did have the same right to have more wives even if their first wife wasn't the last one of another House but they couldn't find someone else to love or the other women had died, killed or loved someone else."

"Harry I think you are the first one to find multiple wives for your House."

Sirius in his mind thought 'of all your Houses although House Black has a Lady it doesn't mean you can't have more for House Black as there is no other male Heir anymore.'

Harry says "I doubt it Padfoot. I mean I have some girls I can call friends I don't want to lose them even if you say friendship can become love. I don't think they like me like that."

Sirius says "maybe Harry or maybe not. I think we will see in the coming years if they like you like that or not."

Sirius hopes he can see Lucy's and Draco's faces when they hear Draco is disowned and Harry is Heir Black. That reminds him he needs to send the Greengrass a letter, but he will wait until Harry is at Hogwarts. He hopes Cyrus and Isabel are willing to listen. He will send a letter and ask Andi to be his representative. She will gently bring him up and if they show that they didn't believe it but think he got convicted he will show himself. If they trust the system and nothing else he will probably not. Although he still trusts Lily trusts Isabel and he must admit he started to like Cyrus before his vacation at Azkaban.

Also, Cyrus Alexander Greengrass has a large vote in the wizengamot because of his Allies and being one of the neutral big voices and one of the leaders from the neutral faction. Cyrus has the largest support of the neutral faction if two neutral leaders disagree. At least that is what he saw once before Azkaban.

Andi says "why don't we have a late breakfast as we have been talking for quite some time."

Harry nods and Andi immediately starts to make something easy. Sirius is in his thoughts about thinking what he knows about Cyrus and Isabel mostly for Harry's benefit. He knows if Astoria looks like Isabel Harry will be a very lucky man and that is not mentioning the possible love Daphne has for Harry. If they both look like Isabel together with Susan Harry is going to have a very happy life so much Sirius is almost envious of Harry but hopefully, he gets Amy back. Sirius hasn't heard one word of Andi as Amy was on his mind hoping for a good and happy life for Harry. Sirius knows that all three girls can't be Lady Potter and hopes for maybe the muggleborn Hermione.

Sirius gets shaken out of his thoughts when he sees a plate of food in front of him and sees Andi and Harry eating. As soon as Sirius starts eating Nymfie comes down in only a large shirt that shows a lot of legs. Andi scolds her that now Sirius and Harry live here she needs to be more modest. Nymfie says nothing and gives Harry a big hug who was staring at her. Nymfie didn't acknowledge her mother until she sends a stinging hex to her ass as Nymfie hugs Harry from behind after giving him a full-frontal hug. Dora jumps up and gets mad at her mother.

While Andi scolds her inside she almost squeals like a schoolgirl Dora never came dressed down like that even after Ted had died. She always came dressed for work or for a lazy day at home. As Dora only focused on Harry she did it for him. She may need to scold Dora after Harry is in Hogwarts. She also needs Dora, to be honest.

Dora says "fine mom. I will change. See you in a bit Harry."

Harry dumbly nods which makes Nymfie smile while Andi rolls her eyes. Sirius seems to be thinking something when suddenly he shows a mischievous smile.

25th August 1993, Leaky Cauldron, London

The fireplace suddenly has green flames. First, comes Dora followed by Harry with Athena and Hedwig. Hedwig is not happy. Andi follows them and lastly, Sirius wears a glamour charm just like Andi.

Andi goes to Tom to get a room for Harry. Andi knows Dora will stay here but to not let Harry know she will come back after dinner as a different woman.

25th August 1993, Diagon Alley

They enter Diagon Alley and see it is busy for the hour of the day. They walk to a secluded corner. Andi looks around before she nods. Sirius understands it is time for Padfoot. When they see no one seems the notice they walk towards Gringotts.

Let's end here for now. In the next chapter Harry gets his knife, we see what Harry buys and we meet Hermione and more. If the words allow it we will meet the Weasley's.

Please read and review. PMs are very much appreciated.

There is a big chance updates will become even more infrequently as the world opens up and I got others things to do. I can't only write.
