Chapter 1.

Miraculous Harry

Surrey, England ~ 04:00/4AM - 1st Novemeber 2001

Marinette was tired, she had been travelling for nearly 4 hours straight; flying around the globe to talk to many friends and allies who she had known for years. She normally wouldn't do it in person but today was… different. Tonight she was informing her friends of the death of Master Fu, the previous Master of the Miraculous.

It had been a week since the Guardians had informed her, yet it still stung every time she heard or thought about it. Her mentor…was gone. Sure for the past 5 years, he hadn't even been around to teach her, having forgotten everything to do with the Miraculous. But she had still relied on his wisdom even when dealing with everyday life.

She could feel through her bond with Tikki, that her Kwami was sad to lose her old friend and master and that she was also very Hungry. Marinette smiled before turning to face her wife, Viperion who was flying in the sky beside her. She pointed to the ground and her wife got the picture floating down towards the ground. The road was uneven and beaten up but it wasn't going to collapse under her, so she had no reason to be worried.

"Tikki, Spot's off" She whispered. Her outfit vanished from her body in a flash of light leaving her in her black jeans with roughed-up knees, a blue V-neck top and a Bright red denim jacket. A Far cry from what she wore when she had started dating Lucia. But her partner had worn off on her over the years.

The Chill hit her arms immediately so she reached into her side bag and pulled out a small packet of sweets for her kwami and said "Here you go, Tikki. We can rest for a few minutes if you would like?" Tikki looked at her "Thank your Marinette. I should be good to go in a few minutes."

Lucia landed next to her and de-transformed. after she fed Sass, she looked around and said "There is a sound of erieness here, Marinette. I don't like this." Her blue-haired partner approached her "It sounds…no, not just sounds but feels like something isn't right here."

Marinette hadn't even considered it but something did feel off…it felt like magic. It was swirling and chaotic, it felt like it was all around her. Marinette had never really had to deal with 'magic' outside of the Miraculous before. But she wasn't completely unaware of it. Master Fu and the rest of the Guardians had given her the run down of what had happened in the past. She had even met a few of them including Albus Dumbledore a few days ago when she had to tell him about Master Fu's death. So the sensation was something that she had encountered recently.

Her partner, however, was much more open and aware of magic having gone to Beuxbatons until just a few years prior. She looked at Lucia and asked, "This is your kind of magic, right?" Lucia nodded, a concerned look on her face "It is. But it shouldn't feel like this. Something feels off. The melody that lies in magic feels disturbed, and tainted. I don't like this one bit. Tikki, Sass, can you tell us anything about this."

Sass shook his head sadly "Sorry, Lucia. But you know that our magic is older than your magic. Our magic makes up the concepts that allow your world to exist in the first place." tikki on the other hand just frowned "I sense something dark was created today but I can't say what. But whatever the source is. It's near you."

The two lovers looked at each other before deciding to look around. They weren't in a rush to get back anyway. Lucia went first, feeling through their natural connection to the magic. Marinette could feel it running around her but that was about it. She was just a normal woman after all…a Normal woman who held the power of creation in her earrings…but that was beside the point.

They had been walking around the town for a few minutes when Marinette heard a cry in the distance. It sounds like a baby cry, but it was far too loud for it to be a baby crying from inside one of the houses. Marinette and Lucia looked between themselves and charged down the roads before they arrived at a street called Privet Drive.

Marinette thought the street looked dull but was confused by the number of flickering lights around one house in particular. For a street like this, the lights should all either be on or off. But to have three in the middle of the street not working but the ones after it working was weird.

The two of them slowed down and Marinette had to wonder if it was just Lucia and her, ears playing tricks on them. It had been nearly a week since she had since her niece with Adrian and Alya taking a small family holiday to Munich.

Walking towards the street light, Marinette noticed a small ginger tabby cat sitting on the fence studying her. For some strange reason, she felt like she had seen those exact same eyes recently. She shook the thought away and wrapped her hand around Lucia's for comfort. They arrived where the lights were flicking, the lights barely illuminating the houses around the flickering. Nothing seemed out of the palace but as Lucia took another step forward, she hissed out in pain.

Marinette grabbed Lucia's arm with her free hand and pulled her away "Lucy, are you okay?!" Lucia groaned, her eyes shining the same blue as Sass's scales. Lucia slowly looked at her partner "There's some kind of shield here. It hurts. It felt like my magic was burning." Marinette's eyes widened. Lucia had mentioned something feeling tainted, was this what it was?

That's when they heard it again, but much louder and Clearer this time. "Wha, whaaaaaa, whaaaaaaaaa" The sound of a baby crying out for its parents. Marinette's heart spiked, it sounded like the baby was right in front of her but she couldn't see anything. She stepped forwards like Lucia had and what felt like 100X volts went through her body. She could only gasp as she tumbled back. No wonder Lucia had been so stunned.

But Marinette Doupain-Cheng was a very, very stubborn woman. She wouldn't have chased after Adrian Agreste for a further two years after realising that she was very, very gay for Lucia if she wasn't. Or Kept on fighting Monarch for as long as she did.

Charging forwards, she encountered the barrier again, but this time she kept on going despite the voltage running through her body. She could feel it pushing against her, trying to throw her back onto the road. But she refused to let it to. Suddenly she felt Lucia grab her hand. The roughness of her fingertips gave her away. No, if Lucia pulled her away they wouldn't get to the source of the baby's crying. They needed to keep on going.

However, Lucia joined her in trying to push through the field. Her partner screamed although it came out like an echo"Together!" That's why Marinette had fallen in love with her. The Pain was still overwhelming though and it felt like for every step forward they made, they were pushed back two more.

But the pain hadn't been as bad since Lucia had joined her…which meant it was being spread thin between the two of them…So what if they overwhelmed it? She screamed at the top of her lungs "Transform!" She didn't get a verbal response from her wife but she did feel her clench the handing she was holding. In Unison they yelled, "Tikki/Sass Spots on!/Scales Slither!" Their Kwami's got swept into the Miraculous and the transformation went through them. Because of their held hands, Marinette could feel the power of time run through her briefly while Lucia could feel the Power of creation.

The combined transformation was just what was needed as the sudden influx of pure influx of the source of all concepts and magic struck. The transformations blasted apart the forcefield but also knocked the two heroes out of their superhero forms. Marinette gasped and asked, "Is everyone okay."

She got a whisper of yes from both Kwami's responded "Yes" while Lucia groaned "I feel as knocked around as your violin playing is out of tune…But yes I think I'm okay." Marinette's right arm felt Burning hot and she lifted her right sleeve to see what it was and found a burning red mark on her skin; A lightning Bolt.

She was going to bring it up to Lucia only to see her checking her left arm. She only managed to get a brief look at it but she saw an identical mark on her arm. Had the forcefield caused it?

Looking back up she finally could see the source of the crying. A Young baby, probably just over a year old wrapped in a thin blanket. The Small child had a mop of black hair and a small pair of Glasses resting on top of him. Marinette ran forwards towards the small child and gently picked him up. The Child almost immediately calmed down. Lucia walked towards them "Who would leave a baby on some steps in the middle of the night?"

Marinette shrugged her shoulder gently, making sure to not wake the baby up. "I don't know but I think we should get them checked out. We don't want him to get anything." Lucia brushed the baby's black hair out of the way and noticed the lightning bolt. Had he been marked like they had when the forcefield broke?

The Two of them started walking away from the house, but as Marinette went to transform into Cosmo Bug, she felt like the cat that had been silently staring at them, silently approved with a small nod of approval before jumping over the edge of the fence.

Hogwarts, Near Dalmellington, Scotland ~ The Next Morning

The sun rose through the window of Albus Dumbledore's office lighting up all of his various trinkets and devices, some of said devices reflecting light elsewhere around the room making sure that the entirety of the room was covered in the light; Part of his design of course.

Albus himself was currently sitting at his desk with his head in his hands looking lost and confused because he had done the unthinkable. He had managed to lose the Boy Who Lived.

If the Wizarding World discovered that their saviour had gone missing, been taken by somebody they would almost certainly have his head; after all, he was tasked with protecting the 1-year-old following his parent's death, and the Ministry of Magic believed he was responsible enough to do it.

But aside from that, he had needed Harry to be at the Dursleys so he would grow up weak and defenceless, easy to mould when he eventually arrived at Hogwarts many years later But the boy had barely spent a day at their house before vanishing with the Wards falling a week later much to his surprise.

There were only 2 other people who knew the location of where Harry was; Minerva and Hagrid. Minerva while displeased about his decision to leave Harry with them, she wouldn't go against him, she trusted him too much. Hagrid on the other hand was Loyal to him and only him. Tom had done some good things in his life it seemed.

A few others knew that Harry had been sent to the muggle world in the case of the Potter's death including the students of his old friend Master Fu, the former owner of the Miraculous Box. Two of the Miraculous users popped by his office the previous day to tell him about the passing of Wang, and to offer their services in protecting the Potters when he had mentioned they were hiding, But they wouldn't have any clue as to where in the Muggle world Harry was tucked away so it couldn't be them. Plus the two of them were French and he very much doubted that they could have made their way to Surrey if they tried.

Who had taken Harry Potter?

Paris, France ~ 10 Years Later

The sound of the Dupian-cheng children and the Agreste children rang throughout the large manor. Screaming, Laughter, and chattering could be heard echoing through the halls of the house. Marinette could only smile as she heard the children playing but she knew her wife Lucia was not appreciating the noise as much as she tried to enjoy her beauty sleep, even though she was failing. Marinette chuckled as she looked into her eye and she listened as Lucia grumbled, "Oh don't tell me you don't want more sleep, Mari?"

Her chuckling got louder and she said back to her wife, "I do. But you're the one getting up to tell them to turn the volume down a bit, I'm going to get another hour of my beauty sleep, Remember, it's mine and Adrian's day off from patrolling today. Plus I actually managed to get the day off from the recording studio.".

Lucia, groaned before, commenting "Why do I have to do it though? I had to get them up yesterday for school, and we both remember how chaotic Harry and Jade can be on the final day of school." Marinette turned back so she was headfirst in her pillow and screamed into it because he was right. Before she could make any further remark, Sass floated up rubbing his eyes from his little bed on our dressing room table where he and Tiki had beds and yawned.

Sass stared at them and said, "Will one of you go and tell them to be quiet, some of us like to sleep" Lucia cursed under her breath but Marinette could feel her eyes flutter open properly; She wasn't about to get back to sleep now.

Pushing herself up so that she was sitting up, she said pressing a hand against Lucia's arm "I'll spend some time with them. You go back to sleep for a bit. See you in a bit my amazing snake." Kissing her cheek before she got up properly. She wrapped a pink dressing gown around herself before walking out of the room. Immediately she could see her eldest Harry along with Adrian's and Alya's eldest Laura, running around chasing her and Lucia's youngest Jade around the room.

Approaching them, she coughed lightly, grabbing their attention. Harry and Laura brought themselves to an almost immediate stop but Jade kept on going and crashed into the couch, going over the back onto the cushioned couch.

Jade looked up at her with eyes and was about to yell in glee until she pressed a finger to her lips and whispered "Shhhh, Daddy and Sass are still trying to sleep. We all had busy nights last night" Harry and Jade both bowed their heads slightly and said "Sorry Mum" while Laura said "Sorry Auntie Marinette!" Marinette ruffled Harry's and Laura's hair while Jade asked "What's for Breakfast? Can we see Grandma and Grandpa this weekend at their shop? Can we play video games?"

She gave her daughter a grin and said "Well what do you guys want for Breakfast? Also, we can see Grandma and Grandpa Tomorrow because we are going out this afternoon as Harry has an appointment with the doctor but we can play some games until your dad wakes up" Jade started bouncing her head up and down rapidly. She feared that if her head went any faster that it might fall off and that she might have to create a new one for him.

Harry and Laura jumped at the chance to pick what they wanted for breakfast and practically yelled "French Toast, Bacon and Mabel syrup" Ouch that was unhealthy but she couldn't lie, She really enjoyed the choice herself from time to time.

She nodded and was about to start heading to the kitchen when she noticed that Harry's glasses barely stayed on his nose, thankfully he wore contact most of the time but they were so close to falling off there that she had to push them back on.

Making her way over to the Manor's kitchen, she grabbed 9 slices of bread, a Packet of eggs and bacon from the fridge and started to make Breakfast for the household. She was extremely glad that she had managed to convince Adrian to change the layout of the kitchen. The way his dad had it was extremely awkward.

She looked at the photo on the wall that showed Marinette and all of her classmates leaving high school to go to college and it made her feel old. It didn't feel like 16 years ago since she became a superhero, where she didn't have to deal with magic or Miraculous or even being a parent. She was just a normal girl at that time. But she wouldn't trade her current life for anything and she knew that neither her wife nor her best friends wouldn't either, it's why none of them had the urge to use the combined powers of the ladybug and Black cat miraculous. Why use it when all their lives were almost perfect?

Just before all the food was about to finish frying, Marinette felt a shooting pain shoot through her entire body, Her veins glowing red and black spots appearing across her body. Her knee's started to shake and she held onto the counter for dear life. Her breathing became staggered and she wanted to be sick everywhere but after a few minutes, the pain went away. It had been nearly a decade since M-Day yet the pain from it still struck every now and then.

Going back to the food, she found that she had left it slightly too late and parts of the French bread were burnt but they wear edible so she served them onto plates and carried them through to the dining room. When she arrived she noticed that Harry and Laura were right against each other, Laura showing something to her best friend. The number of times Marinette had heard people call them siblings just because they were basically tied at the waist was insane. It was as if everyone had forgotten what best friends were. To their right was Adrian who was sipping a cup of coffee, giving her a small wave as she put two of the plates down in front of Harry and Laura. She passed him a 3rd plate and said "Morning Adrian, Sleep well?"

He gave her the signature chat noir smile "Oh a brilliant night, slept the entire way through. Have to say having the cat miraculous, really helps with sleep." Marinette chuckled before giving a plate to Jade who was sitting across from her brother and then sat down next to her. The 5 of them chatted while the tv was on in the background, With Harry and Laura arguing about what they should play. They were like that for about half an hour before the window for Lucia's owl opened up. But no Owl appeared, onstead a letter came flying through the open window, coming to skidding on the table, landing right in front of Harry.

Moving her nearly empty plate to the side, she reached for the strange letter. It couldn't be a letter requesting a design from her as that went to the studio which also ruled out any modelling requests for Adrian, or any gig request for Lucia, as he got all of those by email now. Same with Alya and her website. Flipping the letter over her body froze as she one the name on the back of the letter:

Harry James Potter

That hadn't been his name in nearly 10 years, not since Lucia and herself had adopted him but it was for Harry nonetheless. Flipping the letter back over she saw the stamp; it was from that school that Master Fu's old friend taught at…what was it called…Kagami had just told her about it recently…Hogwarts that was it. Just as she was about to speak a pair of muscular arms wrapped around her waist and said "Morning Mari, breakfast smells amazing, what's that letter in your hands?" She turned to face her blue-haired goddess who still had sleep in her eyes.

She leant up and whispered into her ear "Harry's Hogwarts letter actually arrived. The Decleurs warned us that they might try this. But I would still be more comfortable with him going to Beauxbatons like you did, especially as they are sending their kids there too." She nodded, keeping Marinette in a hug and kissing her forehead saying, "We both also said if he got a letter from Hogwarts that we would give him a choice, we know he'll make a choice that's true to his heart."

They watched as both Harry and Laura finished their breakfast and the two of them took their plates Kitchen to be washed before washing their hands so they could play the Switch, honestly, that was the best thing Adrian could have ever bought them had ever bought them, it was fun for all of us.

Lucia slipped the letter into her pocket and said, "Who's up for a game of Mario Kart!" Marinette swore she would try and keep the thought of the letter out of her mind for a bit, no reason to ruin a perfectly good day yet right?"

Adrian stood up from his seat at the table and groaned, "Thanks for breakfast Mari. If you see Alya, let her know I'm at the office." Marionette gave him a sympathetic look and said "Don't worry Kitty, I will." Her Best friend grabbed his coat on the way out and left the remaining kids in her and Lucia's care.

After a couple of hours of Mario Kart, we all decided that it was time to get up and for us all to change so that we could go out today to the doctor for Harry's new prescription glasses.

As she was leaving the Master bedroom after having a shower and getting changed, Harry was clutching onto his Hogwarts letter looking between her and it confused. Marinette knew she was going to have to chat to him about it even if she didn't really want to. She couldn't believe she had been so careless as to let it fall out of her pocket.

He asked quietly his emerald green eyes glowing "Mum, what's this letter? Why's it being sent to me" Walking up to him she ruffled his black Hair and said to him "When your sister, Laura and dad come back through, we will go through it. Let's just say it has something to do with your Birth country and your Birth parents" She was Glad that Alya had taken Leo and Tristan to work with her. It would be easier to explain everything without dealing with them.

Harry squeaked out "You mean James and Lily Potter" Marinette nodded and he seemed like he wanted to tear the letter up, he had always said that he was glad we were his parents and that he couldn't imagine anything else which always made me feel warm and fuzzy inside.

After 5 minutes the three of them finally came down to the living room, the 5 of them sitting on the couches. Lucia and her shared one while Harry and Laura shared a second one. Only Jade was on a spinning chair and she was enjoying it. Lucia was squeezing her hand so Marinette decided to speak first, "So as you all know, we took you in Harry when you were 15 months old or 1 year old"

The three kids nodded, we had always made sure that they knew that, we didn't want to keep anything silent from them unless it threatened their lives to know. Lucia then said, "You also know about the Magical World too. The different magical schools and all of that" They nodded and Laura said, "Yeah, Harry is magical like my cousins Fleur, Léa and Gabrielle. Oh and Auntie Kagami and Uncle Felix"

The two adults nodded at that and gave them a reassuring smile, with Marinette saying "Bingo! Anyway in Britain there is a magical school called Hogwarts. This is where Harry's birth Parents went to school, this letter is your invitation to the school. Now it's up to you, Harry whether or not you want to take them up on their offer. If not you can go to Beauxbatton's Academy in August with Léa."

He looked at the confused, like there was a charm on the letter and said, "But how could they find me, I don't even go by Harry James Potter. I never have. I've always gone by Harry Jagged Dupain-Cheng Couffine, I know I'm supposed to be some kind of hero figure to the British but this? This is crazy"

Marinette continued and said "We're giving you the option in case you want to discover more about your birth Country, Harry. both of us-" Clenging her Wife's Hand "-would rather you stay here in France with us but we aren't going to hold you back if you want to go to Hogwarts"

Harry looked at Laura and spoke sadly "But Laura isn't a witch? She won't get into either school" Lucia bit her lip. That was true, so she said "I know the two of you hate to be separated" Laura remarked under her breath that Marinette knew Adrian would not be happy with her but moved past it stating "If you want to study at a muggle school Harry we could arrange that, we would just need to give you extra lessons to control your magic."

Laura's and Harry's eyes widened and Harry said "Really?" I nodded while Adrian said "We would do anything for you kids"

Harry ripped the letter in half with his bare hands and said "I'm Harry Jagged Dupain-Cheng Couffine, I'm your son and I don't want to leave you, I love you both too much and I don't want to go anywhere without Laura. I'm going to Beauxbatton's or a muggle School."

Marinette sighed in relief. She wasn't going to her lose her eldest to Britain just yet. But something told her this wasn't going to be the end of everything. Things were only going to get more dramatic from here.

Hogwarts, Near Dalmellington, Scotland ~ The Next Morning

Albus watched as, Harry Potter's name was scratched off the Hogwarts student's list of names, with a gold flash of light. And just like that, The Boy-Who-Lived wasn't coming to Hogwarts. Panic started to settle into Albus's chest. He had been trying to find Harry for a decade, but he hadn't found anybody, and he really needed him to come to Hogwarts. Breathing in and out he said to himself "Calm down, Albus you fool, I need to set up some kind of circumstances that will force him to come back to Britain, back into my waiting arms… hmm I wonder if Phineas still has his Philosipher's stone."
