27th Precinct takes over Hogwarts

Dumbledore swears that everything was going according to plan for the greater good but what happens when Harry James Jack Potter, grandson of DA Jack McCoy arrives at Hogwarts when his name was called out for the Sorting in 1991? He thought he left the kid with his maternal aunt to set him up for his destiny, well he was wrong!
It wasn't long before news had spread to Hogwarts that the Americans had a much more brutal way of handling convicted criminals much more efficiently than their own court system. Some of the students, especially those came from prominent families were happy that it would soon happen in Britain, however others were not. One particular family was a staunch supporter of Dumbledore and his ideals, however not every member agreed with the labelling of being a supporter of the light. They just believed that doing the right thing was honourable enough in their eyes. One member of the family did not agree and had just spotted his target walking into the Great Hall and began to march over ready to confront the Slytherin King.
Harry was loading up his plate with fruit, porridge and toast when he mentally groaned at the sight of the Gryffindor making a beeline to the table. He had seen the youngest male Weasley, trying to sit on the throne at the head of the table, claiming loudly enough that his family was the most Gryffindor family then the Potters. He mentally chuckled of the memory of seeing brat being forcibly ejected from the throne the other week.
"Harry, what are you doing sitting with the slimy wannabe Death Eater snakes?" Ron began firing off questions, not realising he put his foot in his mouth at the statement, or that Harry was indeed a Slytherin at heart. "You're supposed to be sitting with me at the Gryffindor table, I'm your best friend!" he continued, completely oblivious to the attention of the crowd that was listening to what the Heir of Hogwarts had to say.
"Is it too late to get a restraining order on this moron or do I need to seek the counsel of Abbie and Connie, I know Olivia is itching to investigate Molly Weasley for suspected case of child abuse," Harry mentally asked Severus and Minerva, having begun a familial relationship with the Deputy Headmistress due to her ties with Jack and other members of the extended family.
Both Professors snorted at the question, it was rhetorical, amusing at first but if it didn't get sorted soon, Harrison had every right to seek outside counsel to stop the harassment.
"Weasley is really testing the boundaries of not getting the hint that Harrison wanted nothing to do with him. Fred and George are great company to Harrison and his friends amongst all the houses, but Weasley just wants him for his fame," Severus replied, getting ready to make his way down to the Slytherin table, however he was stopped by Minerva.
"Severus, I think it's best that you get in touch with Olivia and perhaps a few others from SVU, you do raise a valid point, I will deal with Weasley with spell that will temporarily prevent him from getting within 20 metres of Harrison until I can get a hold of Jack and come up with a much better solution for all parties involved."
"I think I am going to have to respectfully decline, you have just insulted not only my dormmates but also my noble ancestor of my House who I have the full blessing of being in." Harrison began to speak his mind, you could hear a pin drop as the entire Great Hall was deadly silent, wanting to see how this was going to play out in from of them. "Furthermore, I will be having a meeting in the Gryffindor Tower later but let me say this carefully Ronald, I do NOT want to be your friend, as you see me for the money and fame. Don't forget I know what your mother and grand aunt tried to do to my grandfather, should I remind you he's Lord McCoy?" he asked in a whisper, making Ronald turn pale as a ghost as he would sometimes hear his great aunt rant that he cost her the life of luxury that she had always dreamed about, money and fashion.
There was a gasp, as more secrets of the McCoy family were revealed, they were told that a major scandal had nearly cost the Lord his family but there were unaware of which family caused it. However, before another word could be uttered, Ronald found himself being magically pulled back to the Gryffindor table with a spell being cast on his plate and goblet to prevent it getting too high or being refilled.
"Mister Weasley, you will march yourself to my office this instant and wait until I am ready to join you, once I have finished my breakfast," McGonagall barked at the youngest Gryffindor, as she waved her wand once more to make him forcibly walk to her office, unable to deter off the direction and unable to leave the office.
"Well, that was interesting, I am definitely going to have that conversation in Gryffindor Tower soon." Harry murmured to Daphne and Draco, while keeping an eye on Hermione Granger. Something in his brain, made him think. There was something familiar about her, was she related to one of the detectives in New York City? Come to think of it, he needed to check on in Ravenclaw Tower soon as well, he made mental note to do that, unaware that the SVU squad and the 27th would also be making a visit to Hogwarts.
'Olivia?" Severus reached out to the newly promoted Sargent, hoping that she was still awake. Thankfully, he got a reply instantly.
"Hey Severus, what's wrong?" Olivia was just cleaning up from her morning sickness routine, she was a few months along and could not wait to share the news with the rest of the family. Severus was ecstatic to know that he was going to be a father soon.
"I need you, Castor and whoever in the 27th and SVU to look into Molly Weasley and Muriel Prewett, Harrison was confronted by Molly's youngest son, Ronald and let's just say that he has no time for the boy in light of what the two women tried to do to Jack."
"Are YOU TELLING ME that those two harlots are probably the cause that nearly made Jack lose his ENTIRE family?" Olivia all but shrieked at the top of her head, momentarily making Severus wince at the loudness of his betrothed.
Severus just nodded and proceeded to give further background, with Olivia agreeing to opening up an investigation when she got to the office. Nothing more was said as the connection was cut and everyone went about their business for the day.
Special Victims Unit - Squad Room
"Alight guys, listen up," Olivia got the room's attention as she walked into the squad room. "This might not fall under the purview of SVU, but I've been asked by Severus that we need investigate and loop McCoy into what we find." She had mirror called, Abbie, Connie, Remus, Sirius and Castor, to give them the heads up of what Severus witnessed at Hogwarts. To that they were furious, was the least of their problems. All of them agreed that a taskforce was needed and that Fin, Amanda, Carisi, Rey and Stabler had to be roped in.
Elliot was happy that she had found her soulmate and confided that he always knew that she was a witch and that he was in fact a wizard, having met Kathy at Ilvermorny. They were always going to be connected but he decided that to order to let her grow as person, he would leave and be the head of the Organised Crime Division.
"Liv, what are we looking at?" Anita asked, having met both women during her time at Hogwarts, she immediately had a disliking for both women. All she could think was, while Van Bruen was an alias, she was in fact a member of the Dagworth-Granger family and that her niece Hermione was following in her footstep by becoming the second Granger woman to attend Hogwarts.
"Ronald Weasley confronted Harrison this morning while having breakfast, asking him why he was sitting with the Slytherins and Death Eater wannabes while also insulting his House. Harrison simply replied and said that it was his ancestors' House and that if he did not stop harassing him, he would expose his mother and great aunt for nearly destroying Jack in the process." Oliva replied, taking a sip of her coffee to calm her anger down while clearing the whiteboard with her hand.
"I might have something to reopen the investigation," Rey began, quickly putting up file on the screen.
Muriel Prewett caught trying to entrap James McCoy in her bid for a higher station.
By Harvey Young
The article explained that both women were desperate to elevate their status for more money and power, there was accusations that love potions were in place but that was dispelled because of the McCoy family ring. However, what was more concerning is that both Muriel and Molly had recruited an outside potioneer to help circumvent the family magics. Who it was, it was not revealed but there were subtle hints that it was someone in the British Isles.
"This is turning into a shitshow," Abbie murmured as she began to make notes on the whiteboard. "Too much in-breeding between closely related family is clearly sapping intelligence and the need to keep the magic pure by not marrying muggleborns," She had just decided last night that she was going to propose to Remus next weekend and elope a week later. She just wanted to be married to her soulmate end of story.
Carisi having studied policing and law after attending Ilvermorny, wrote something down on piece of paper and slid it over to Fin, who nodded and left without saying a word.
"Amanda, what is your take as a behaviour specialist?" Connie was curious to hear what the blonde detective would have to say on the case.
Amanda was silent for a few moments, contemplating what motive the Prewitt women would have in trying to bring down Jack.
"If I have to hazard a guess, I believe that at the time, the family were in a dire situation and did not enjoy the power that they once had in the Wizengamot, so it would've been on Muriel's orders to get Molly to marry into a higher station to control the fortune," Amanda explained as she analysed the information before she pulled a face. "We know that Jack and Ellen were soulmates, and that magic would not allow them to be bonded to anyone else, just like James and Lily, so Muriel must've tried to recruit outsiders to help bring the plan together before she told Molly to marry Arthur Weasley, I mean how can they manage to have seven kids and not have enough money to survive?"
There was a murmur of agreement, but they had to put the case on the backburner for the time being as the squad received a call that a crime had taken place, however it was the mundane world that needed their attention.
Potions Classroom – Dungeons – Hogwarts – sometime in October 1991.
Harrison was at his wits end, Severus had assigned a group assessment on the uses of Cure for Boils, he was quite content with working with Hermione, Daphne, Neville and Draco. Each of them brought their own wealth of knowledge of tasks but for Harry, it was about forging bonds of friendship. However, it was Ron Weasley that kept trying to get close to him but thankfully he was unable to do so due to the charm that Minerva had placed on him a few days ago.
"So, Neville, sorry I haven't had a chance to catch up with you properly but how has it been to have Aunt Alice and Uncle Frank back?" Harry was keen to see how the young Herbologist was reconnecting with his parents.
"It has been really good Harry, I do have to thank Sirius and Jack for finding the counter-curse in the Slytherin Grimoire," Neville was over the moon that his parents were back as he didn't really want to live with his grandmother a moment more. "I believe that Dad is on the verge of casting both grandmother and Algernon out of the family and back to the Rosier family as they tried to force me to do magic so that I would not be a bloody squib," Neville scowled, remembering how he was dropped off the Blackpool Pier just so that his magic could save him.
"Honestly, I know that we need a balance of light, dark and grey magic, but even that is a low blow for a guardian to do that," Daphne spoke with an icily tone in her voice.
"You'll get no argument from me," Draco replied, flicking through the One Thousand Magical Herbs and Fungi textbook, looking for uses of snake fangs. "I mean just look at what Lucius did to Mother and I, not to mention what he tried to do Arcturus McCoy in court. Stupid fool, at least he can't influence Fudge or the Dark Lord's followers anymore."
"I've actually heard from my Aunt, of how ruthless Arcturus is in court," Hermione commented, not noticing that Harry momentarily seized up worried that he was going to be found out, luckily only Draco had seen it but wisely kept his mouth as it was not his secret to reveal. "He is literally a carbon copy Jack himself, no wonder the McCoys are seen as ruthless and will do anything to uphold the law and do what is right in the fight for justice."
Harry's head suddenly shot up as he realised exactly why he found Hermione was striking familiar. She was Anita's niece. "Hermione, are you by perhaps, Van Bruen's niece?"
Hermione was about to answer the question, when Severus's voice projected across the classroom, "I expect your group essay and one vial each of the potion to be completed by next class in a week. Please do not forget that you can come seek me out if you require assistance. Class dismissed."
As everyone began to pack their belongings away, Hermione glanced at Harry and simply nodded, confirming his suspicions. It looks like he would have to write to Van Bruen and family to say it was time to bring Hermione into the fold.
Gryffindor Tower – that same night
Fred and George Weasley were worried, they had no idea that their younger brother was trying to get information and perhaps befriend Harrison Potter, who quite frankly did not want to be friends with him and nor could they blame him, but what they heard about their mother and great-aunt, it left them worried about what their future could mean in the wizarding world.
While they were considered to be bright young students who had a penchant for pranking and making people laugh, they knew when to be serious and right then a decision had to be made before their family took it from them. So as of that moment, they were in the Gryffindor Tower, under privacy charms, writing a letter to their distant cousin Sirius Black.
Dear Lord Black.
This is Fred and George Weasley, and while we are huge fans of the Marauders, right now we are being serious and need your help.
After hearing your godson, literally tear our youngest brother to shred and airing out the dirty secret that our great-great Aunt and Mother tried to do to his grandfather, we decided to do some research in the library on the matter and to our horror, we are absolutely disgusted at what our family has done to wrong not only yours as he is your adoptive father but also Harry's.
As we are closely related by birth through our grandmother Cedrella Black, we petition you our Lord to accept our request for sanctuary from the Weasley family. We cannot speak of Bill or Charlie but if they were to get wind of what was said in the Great Hall just recently, we would not be surprised if they seek sanctuary for the same reason as well.
Not to mention that Molly does not approve of our dreams of opening our own joke shop and she would rather we would be in the Ministry like our father (can we check to see if he is under charms or potions or he is actually acting of his own free will?), where we are sure that we would die of boredom literally. However, if we are successful in our bid for sanctuary, we have decided to put in the effort to achieve nothing lower than Es in our OWL exams in a few years.
This letter will not be allowed to be taken by anyone but yourself, so if the owl is there, it will wait for you to reply.
We wait for your reply, and we hope to hear from you soon,
Fred and George Weasley.
George let out a massive sigh, "All we can do is wait," the two of them made the long trek to the Owlery, hoping that one of their idols would be able to save them from a lifetime feel of pain and misery. While they loved their family, they could read the writing on the wall, the family would not recover if their brother kept on hounding the Potter heir, this is where they took matters into their own hands and secure their own future.
"It'll all be worth it in the end, George," Fed replied, "while Padfoot might be a prankster at heart, he does look after family, look at what he did for Draco and Narcissa just a few weeks ago in New York."
Nothing more was said as they watched the owl fly to London, hoping that they could have an answer soon.
The chapter is finally complete! There was a lot to write and put to paper.
Sorry for the loooong delay but family things came up, wedding in October, moved into a new place with the support of family, friends and carers. Got a new device so I can be writing more Seen Pink, Goo Goo Dolls and Matchbox Twenty in February and it was amazing! Seeing Aqua this weekend so that will be awesome too!
There may be more delay as late last year I chose to go to back to study to do a Bachelor of Criminology and Criminal Justice at University of South Australia online. I just finished my first intake of 2 subjects (10 week blocks), it was intense but great to get back to study and learn more!
I am still looking for a job but I am getting there!
Finally I am looking at possibly starting a Pat-re-on, any suggestions on how to start and what is reasonable for prices?
What are your thoughts on the chapter, what did you want to see next?
Next chapter, the Weasley fallout plus what was the murder about in the mundane world?
I will try and upload again asap but can't make any promises.
Talk to you soon and leave your thoughts,
Justin
