The Black Loch

Tracey floated to the top of the water moments after Fleur had surfaced. Fleur had already got the person she was meant to rescue and seemed to be looking down for something, was she maybe looking for Harry? Where was Harry actually, he wouldn't have just let Tracey float up on her own. Laura's eyes darted across the Loch looking for any sign of him. Looking at Aunt Marinette, she was starting to pace more and more in worry. It was starting to worry her more too. With his Miraculous he should have been up much sooner than he was. Uncle Felix and Dad were talking to Mom trying to calm her down to no avail, at least he had gotten us to a better place than before.

Jade onto her arm tightly "Harry's going to be okay right? He's always been alright before." Her younger cousin's voice cracking.

In the distance they watched Fleur swim over to Tracey, grabbing the yonder girl, before flipping all three of them onto their backs and slowly kicking their way back over trying to make sure that all three of them made it. From where she was Laura could just about see Tracey come back around…The coot hadn't put the full charms; she shouldn't have woken up until she reached the podium.

Suddenly the wind started to rapidly pick up and the stands started to sway, forcing the adults who could use magic to put up a shield to protect everyone from the wind. Aunt Marinette's eyes widened, and she uttered '"Rapidde….no….Harry….hold on sweetie, I'm coming" As the guardian of the miraculous, Aunt Mari knew exactly what each Kwami could do without a user and by the sounds of it, that was what was happening right now.

The trees at the far side of the Loch were struggling to stay standing as their roots kept them locked to the ground, but then you heard it before you saw it, the thunder and lightning. The electricity in the air started creating more disturbance in the large loch and a giant bolt of lightning struck one of the trees causing it to catch fire and ur snapped in half simultaneously.

Suddenly a bolt struck the water where Fleur had been when she first surfaced, Aunt Mari's eyes widened even more and without saying anything she vaulted over the metal fencing made to stop people from falling in and dived into the cold, stormy water making large powerful strokes towards where Harry might be.

Dad and Aunt Lucia both leaned against the rail and they both said without caring who around them heard "Sass/Plagg go and keep an eye on her, make sure she stays safe. If you see Harry, show him to her." The little black cat and snake Kwami's floated out of their pockets and said "Yes Boss!" Shooting off,

Looking at her Dad, she asked him "Do you think they will be okay Dad"' his grip on the metal rail got tighter, his knuckle white as he looked at Lucia who was pale as could be, hand glowing bright blue, "I can only hope Laura, I can only hope."

Elsewhere in the Stands

Hawkmoth smiled as she saw the little ladybug dive into the water, two little Kwami's chasing after her. She hadn't been expecting her old friend Marinette to dare jump in but she could work with this.

If the kid and Marinette survived then she would have traumatised the kid. If neither survives she gets two free miraculous from the bottom of the lake. With one last smile, she called out "Dark Wings Fall!"

The transformation fell with a flash of purple but the Akuma remained where she wanted it, her hand glowing as she kept the power up. She exited her little hiding hole just as Lucius Malfoy approached her "Ah Lady Zabini, I was wondering where you had gotten to. You must come and see what's happening, it's all quite entertaining. Our children are having a blast."

Lady Zabini ah yes, that disguise she had almost forgotten about it "Apologies Lord Malfoy, I was catching up with an old acquaintance. Shall we go and see this entertainment together?" She said with an even grin, Kissing his cheek as she did so, angering his wife. Yes keep up that anger and she would be useful in the future.

In the Loch

Marinette's body collided with the cold water but she didn't care, she needed to save Harry! One stroke after another, that's all she could currently do with the stormy conditions. The storm made by Rapidde was certainly making it harder to get to Harry but she knew the Kwami wouldn't have done it for no reason. It didn't matter anyway she would deal with it she not losing her son!

From her now-soaked coat pocket, she heard Tikki say "Don't worry Marinette, you will save him." Managing to say while her face wasn't submerged underwater she replied "I know Tikki, because I don't know what we will do if I don't."

It only took a couple of minutes to reach Fleur who was still swimming with the two other girls, although now that Tracey was awake, she able to keep herself afloat a small bit, helping to take some of the pressure off Fleur. She would need to give Fleur a miraculous after this, she had the heart of a true hero.

Suddenly she felt two Kwami-sized things land on her back, she would have turned around to see what it was normally but she was too busy trying to keep herself afloat and make it to Harry before he drowned.

Then Plagg's voice asked, "What do you want us to do Marinette?" Stopping for a second to allow a log to pass her, she said "Go under and look for Harry,! When you find out where he is, come back to me. If you find Rapidde do the same. Rapidde will be keeping an eye on where Harry is."

Suddenly she saw the Snake and Cat Kwami's fly past her before diving into the water ahead, vanishing from her sight. Damn it, Why did she ever agree to come? They should have known that Dumbledore was going to try something today but oh no she thought it would be a good chance to get Harry and Jade out of the house for a day and to let Harry and Laura see their girlfriends and now here she is diving into a freezing lach hoping she can get to her son before he drowns and she loses him forever.

Sass shot up into the air in front of her "Marinette, he's down here!"

Kick, Stroke, Kick, Stroke, that's all she was thinking as she pushed her way forward to where Sass was floating above. The thunder was rumbling lightly but in the distance, she could see the blue sky which suggested that Rapidde's ability was coming to an end.

As soon as she reached Sass, she took a deep breath which for all she knew could end up being her final one and dived straight down into the murkiness of the Loch. She just kept going down following Tikki who decided to leave her pocket to try and find Harry for her so she could follow her.

Tikki seemed to come to a stop, and Marinette noticed that Harry was being trapped by vines; Vines with a purplish glow that she was familiar with. But that didn't matter, Harry's body was limp. She kicked downwards and grabbed him in her arms, pulling a small pocket knife that she kept on her at all times in case of accidental fashion emergencies and began cutting the vines off him. As she cut she could feel her energy being zapped away. Had Lilla akumtized them to kill her and Harry?

Thankfully the vines seemed to peel away from him and she dropped her knife to hold him properly, kicking off the ground back up to the surface. Looking down she could see the vines/seaweed rapidly growing up towards her at an unnatural pace, definitely Akumatized! Thankfully Plagg seemed to notice this and shot down yelling "Cataclysm!"

There was an explosion of black energy that disintegrated the Seaweed/Akuma for good in an instant along with half of the ground beneath the Loch, the entire body of water suddenly jarring downwards as it had more space to fill. She didn't currently care about Plagg using his power, she could reprimand the Kwami's for using their powers like that later, right now she needed to get Harry back to the stalls.

Then the explosion from Plagg's Cataclysm collided with her feet and she was launched upwards out of the water, Harry was still in her arms as she went shooting towards the stalls at Rapid speeds that could almost match Rapidde. Using her years of experience as Ladybug, She threw Harry at Lucia right before she was about to land and rolled into her landing, coming to a stop on her knees. To say that her back was killing her after that stunt was an understatement but she could put her old age to the side for now.

She needed to check on Harry.

Pushing other people out of the way she saw Lucia tear open Harry's shirt and start pressing down on it, trying to get the water out of his lungs to make him start breathing again. Above Lucia, she could hear Adiran say "1 and 2, 1 and 2" Keeping the rhythm and steps clear for Lucia. Lucia did it over and over again and she pressed her hands against Harry's chest, pushing some of the water off his lungs.

Kneeling down next to him, she grabbed Harry's currently cold, and lifeless hand she said "Come on sweetheart, come back to us. We can't lose you" Water continued to rush out of his mouth as Lucia continued to push down on his heart and lungs hoping to get all the water out. Lucia was starting to slow down, she was running out of energy and with tears in her eyes.

Marinette moved her out of the way and started herself. Each hand press brought up more water but finally, he stopped bringing it up but there was no pulse. She had the power of creation, SHE WAS NOT LETTING HER SON DIE! BY THE CREATORS OF THE UNIVERSE, IF SHE WAS GOING TO HAVE POWERS BE USED SELFISHLY IT WOULD BE NOW!

Both Hands Glowed bright red and she continued pressing against his chest to try and start a pulse, next to her Luka's hands were glowing bright cyan blue as she held onto Harry's hands tightly and then she felt it; a pulse, a weak one but it was there! She continued to push against his chest until she heard coughing from him.

He rolled over to the side and coughed up one final gush of water before turning back. But when he did she noticed something was very different about him and it was confirmed as he slowly opened his eyes which were no longer the normal Emerald Green that they had been since he was born and was known for but rather matched Lucia's beautiful cyan blue eyes. Freckles like her's now littered his nose and cheeks. On top of that, his hair was now a perfect match for her blackish-blue hair.

He continued to cough for air so she helped him sit up, rubbing his back. Her son was alive; That was all that mattered. Jade ran over and hugged him tightly "Don't you ever scare us like that again you idiot" Lucia shuffled over, clearing the tears from her eyes and hugging all three of them, under her breath she heard him mutter "What happened exactly?" oh boy this was going to be a long story but it could wait until later.

"Let's get Harry checked out first"

Elsewhere in the stands

Hawkmoth felt her jaw clench as she saw the touching reunion. So her plan had been foiled…but the negative emotions coming from the headmaster of the school made her grin evilly. She could work with that. Keep your negative emotions headmaster, you will be a useful tool in the days to come

"Mum, What are you smiling about?"

She looked down at Blaise who was no longer talking to the young Malfoy boy and said "Just plotting our next move, my beautiful butterfly."

All in the meanwhile watching the Akuma out across the Loch, slowly flutter back to her.

Paris ~ 9 Days Later

"Are you sure you can do this sweetie?" Mum was fussing over him as he ate his breakfast, he didn't mind because he could understand why but he shrugged her off "I'm sure mum….we need to do this, it's the only way to make sure Dumbledore doesn't use his power over the British government to try and take me away from you guys; Especially after last week"

He felt his lungs tighten slightly but his Mum's shoulders relaxed so he relaxed and he listened as she replied "Of course, and we will do it together, the 4 of us."

Mom smiled looking at them, brushing Jade's hair "It's a shame Laura and Adrien can't be here but with Alya still ill they still need to look after the rest of the family Now Harry go and un-dye your hair, I know it's annoying but the British Wizarding Government is demanding it."

Standing up he groaned "Mom, I've been trying all week, there's no dye coming out of my hair"

Mom raised her eyebrow very catlike -making Harry wonder what would have happened if his mom had been Chat Noire- saying Sarcastically "Oh really?"

Mum stood up running a hand through his hair as she did "Lucia, I don't think Harry is kidding. I don't see any signs of his normal black hair under this blackish-blue like I normally do when it's dyed and the dye remover bottle is nearly empty, only Harry and yourself ever use it… so"

Thank the Kwami's she had noticed, he had been pouring it onto my hair for the past week at this point and nothing had changed other than his scalp was beginning to hurt, if anything he had been losing more of the pure black in his hair.

Mom seemed confused and said "Wait…..What?! But you still have Blackish-Blue hair?"

He nodded as Mum continued to run her hand gently through it "He also has your blue eyes and even my freckles in a similar position, I noticed it after I saved him from the Loch" He felt his body stiffen once more as Mum mentioned the Loch and the world started to spin around him and he had to force himself to take several deep breaths. HE was not still down there and HE was not drowning.

Mum had been saying "I think it's our powers mixing with his magic. I wish I could talk to Master Fu about it but when we were trying to get his pulse starting again both of our powers started to activate and I think it might have mixed with his magic to permanently change his dna. I'll have to ask Felix or Sirius about it as they probably know more on the subject than you; no offence sweetie."

"None taken my little bug."

While they continued to speak about his appearance, he continued to feel his body stiffen and twist as it wanted to violently escape its current nightmare when suddenly there was a knock on the door that snapped him back to reality properly. By the Kwami's was that horrible….at least he wasn't going anywhere near Hogwarts today. One near-death experience there was enough to make him want to stay away from that place for good, even if Tracey was there.

Mom walked over to the door as Jade linked eyes with him "Are you okay?" He nodded, making Mum's hand run down on to his face much to Jade's enjoyment as his new blackish-blue got all messed up. If he really had this hair colour from now...then great, Nobody can argue that I'm not a Dupain-Cheng Couffaine anymore.

Standing at the door was Sirius in, ridiculously, stupid large robes who put his hands up straight away and said "Yeah...yeah I look stupid I know, laugh it up now, you're about to see so many more people in these stupid robes" taking a step forwards...before slipping on the long robes and landing on the floor grumbling "guess the charm wore off." Standing up steadily he said, "Are you all ready?"

He looked at us all and muttered 'Oh of course you all wearing nice suits...why is Britain so far behind" He then seemed to seem a bit taken aback as he looked at Harry before pulling his wand out and casting 'Revelia' the spell hit him and Sirius went "huh, it changed nothing...so you have blackish-blue Hair and cyan eyes now….well, I guess Dumbledore really does have no grounds to stand on."

Jade squeaked up and asked, "What does that mean exactly?" Sirius chuckled and said "Well you see Albus...Dumbledore said that one of his fighting points was going to be that you still have black hair and Emerald Green eyes as you would have as Harry Potter son of James and Lily….it's a really technical thing but I'm certain the British wizarding world would try to use it to get Harry back...but that point goes down the drain now."

Mum coughed and asked "Sirius can you tell us exactly what that means? Remember, two of us are No-Maj and the 2 who aren't are French Wizards, what's this technical thing?"

He grinned broadly "Just wait, I need to talk to Felix to confirm it before the case begins" Sirius walked up to Harry and looked into his eyes "Now let's go and win this case and end this once and for all, what do you all say Dupain-Cheng Couffaines?"

The British Ministry of Magic - London ~ 2 Hours Later

The British Ministry of Magic was your stereotypical British High Street, with thousands of people walking around without a care in the world. Meanwhile, all of them bar Sirius who had gone on ahead were trying not to draw attention to themselves as Felix argued with the receptionist "What do you mean, you don't know who we are! I'm good friends with the minister of Magic of France. That is Harry Dupain-Cheng Couffaine who Sirius Black and Albus Dumbledore are trying to argue is a Potter! His parents are Marinette and Lucia Dupain-Cheng Couffaine!"

The Man just shrugged his shoulders and said "Sorry don't know what you want me to tell you mate, I don't know anything about it. And it's my job to know."

Felix was about to start yelling at him again and Lucia placed a hand on his shoulder "he's here as a diversion Felix, Probably sent by the coot, we need to make another way in."

Felix sighed but took a deep breath and sorted out his suit "Mr Terfi Rowling, just wait until I tell Minister Stranton about this" before storming over to the cafe. As they made our way she muttered "Sass, go and find what room it's in and on what floor" The small Snake kwami left her pocket and shot through the ground. Even though she wasn't actively looking around he could tell people were watching the, out of the corner of their eyes, either interested in what was going on or just being suspicious of them.

Hopefully Sass arrived soon, Marinette was fussing over Harry, sorting out his hair even though it looked fine and Jade was trying to distract Felix before he went over and strangled the poor receptionist, unfortunately for him, they would not be taking no as an answer.

Through her strong connection to Sass she could feel the magic flowing throughout the Ministry, a building made on a magic hotspot, used by Wizards and WItches on the daily, It was a bit overwhelming, especially as she hadn't been very active with the wizarding world since leaving school, but truth be told, she was starting to understand why the British Wizarding World was so full of itself and why Felix hated it, they felt like they were unstoppable because they had these powerful Hotspots under them, well it's time to show them that they are wrong.

Suddenly Sas shot up into my pocket and said "5 floors down, Room 42, be careful Lucia, there are lots of people standing around suspiciously, including one of those redheads from the loch. They are clearly there to stop you, They're also talking about how you're so late that it's almost a complete victory for them anyway. Stay safe, I'm now going for a nap now. Get me some crackers when you're done.'"

She smiled at the small cyan Kwami and muttered "Of course, thank you Sass". So they had moved the trial ahead…she should have known. She stared at her family and said "Grab Hold." They all looked confused but did so, grabbing her wrist tightly as she stretched it out, her Hand glowing brightly and in a flash of light they were back at their house ready for a do-over.

British Ministry of Magic ~ 1 Hour before

Mari locked eyes with her and asked "You Know?" As we all walked back into the Ministry for Magic for the second time. They hadn't spoken as they rushed to make it so only now were they able to ask. She nodded and she took a couple deep breaths trying to calm her nerves.

They couldn't lose, They wouldn't lose. They were not losing their son.

Felix straightened his jacket before lifting Jade up onto his shoulders and he said "So where to Lucia!" Lucia strode towards the reception desk once more but did not stop to argue with the annoying receptionist, instead choosing to move past him.

Behind her, she could hear the scrape of the receptionist's chair but she refused to stop as the man said "Excuse me Mrs, but you're not allowed into the Ministry's offices without signing in with me. It will only take a few minutes."

She turned around just in time to see Marinette pick him up by his tweed jacket and said "We have a court case to get to, and you're in our way, so get out of it!' before chucking him back, sending him into the chair he had been in, shattering it. Everyone in the Ministry turned shocked and the 5 of them started forcing their way towards the lifts.

As they walked people started to move out of the way of them, most likely terrified of what they could do to them. The lift opened automatically when they reached it but it wasn't a modern lift, instead, it was one of the older ones which had a cage door and sides, they should really update that, Lucia didn't care how much magic you had, that's still unsafe. They all crammed their way in and she managed to just about touch the -5 button before the doors shut on them, trapping them all in there.

The lift shot down the second the doors closed shut and Felix started screaming "Why the hell is this going so fast?!" Before the lift came to a sudden stop, making them all jump up, Marinette Grabbed hold of her arm while she held on to Jade. Harry was the only one who didn't seem to care but he spent most of his time in the air anyway.

The door creaked open and they all gasped, pushing their way out so they could breathe and so it wouldn't fall apart while they were in it. At the end of the corridors, she could see a woman with bright red hair -The annoying woman from the Second Task- eyeing us suspiciously and she muttered "Gather up in a circular group and follow me, Harry stay in the middle."

She just heard mumbles in response but they all stood up tall, sorting their suits out before walking forwards and making a sharp turn down a corridor and then another corner right after that.

Reading the room numbers as she passed, she kept a mental check on what number we had passed and whether it was an odd or even number and making sure they avoided all of the old man's 'army' He was clearly hoping to make us late or even just outright kidnap Harry and make herself and Marinette looks like terrible parents….yeah that was definitely his back up plan if he couldn't delay us. Thankfully he had forgotten about her time powers; Suddenly ahead of her she heard a familiar voice "Need a hand Mrs Couffaine?"

The Courtroom

Albus grinned as he gleefully thought of his newest plans, absolutely nothing could go wrong with it this time, he had made backup plans for his back-up plans in case his backup plans failed in case his main two plans failed. He'd managed to get the backing of several of the Pureblood houses including the Weasley's to promise that they would vote in favour of Him….or should he say in favour of Sirius becoming Harry's Guardians. Then he would have those insolent brats thrown in Azkaban for daring to steal Harry away from Britain!

Looking around the chamber he saw several of the sacred 28 talking to each other, even the Weasley's were being brought into the discussion which was good. He's glad to see the greater good is prevailing over them and they are seeing the light. Looking over at the Black seat he found Sirius staring at the door looking smug and the man had every reason to be, he was about to not only get his godson back but show the wizarding world he really was innocent all along...Albus guesses he should have freed him a long time ago but that was all in the past.

Stroking his beard he looked at the door to the centre of the room, 10 minutes till the trial started and still no sign of the Brats….good. Hopefully, Hagrid was able to distract them or at least grab Harry, there was no way they could stop his half-giant Ally. Suddenly the room went quiet as Head Auror and the head of the DLME entered the room with a kick of the door. She was a force to be reckoned with and he was glad she was on his si…wait was she leading the brats in here?! With Harry too! How did they manage to avoid the Order?

Standing up he called out loudly "Madam Bones, what is going on! The court had not been informed that the Couffaines had arrived, the Court has not been prepared yet.'"

She looked up at him, a devious twinkle in the eye not covered by her monocle, "I was worried by the fact that we hadn't seen them yet and I went up to the reception desk and found them not being allowed to pass by the reception desk. You wouldn't happen to know anything about that would you Albus?"

Giving her a flabbergasted look while the rest of the room looked at him, he responded "Of course not Amelia. Couffaine's we should be ready to start in about five minutes" Curse you Amellia, you will pay for this treachery!

The House of Black Seat

Sirius looked at Albus to see the old man was silently fuming! This was going to be brilliant! Amelia, he could kiss you because of how fantastic you are, oh why did he ever break up with….oh wait yeah he cheated on her and then she broke up with him...whoops. Lucia, Felix and Harry were all wearing incredibly smart muggle suits that gave them this air of power which they definitely had, Hell Lucia could literally roll back time better than any time turner without transforming and she was even better while transformed.

That wasn't to say that the two other Ladies of the family weren't well dressed either. Marinette was wearing a simple business suit that reminded him of a sly fox or a snake suggesting she was going to be the one twisting people around her thumbs and win the case for them, other than him completely dropping all charges when we reached the end of the case anyway.

The room was silent as Amelia made her way up to her seat and the Couffaines sat down on the cold, hard metal chairs that had been provided for them to make them uncomfortable and more likely to mess up, which they wouldn't do anyway.

But before they could get uncomfortable, Marinette's right hand glowed and she waved it and the chair was suddenly padded out with cushions and Marinette slyly crossed one leg over the other, A gentle hand on Harry's rubbing it."

After about 5 minutes, Cornelius Fudge finally spoke up, after being quiet for the entire time "Today we are here to talk about the case of whether or not the Son of Lily and James Potter was unlawfully taken from the guardians given to him by Albus Dumbledore and whether or not he has been abused."

Marinette raised her eyebrow at that, her black hair seemingly looked dark blue in the light but he had to approve of what Fudge said for once, he was clearly trying to not anger anyone by calling Harry a Potter but also keeping with the script that Albus had no doubt given him.

Even Fudge choosing to not call Harry, a Potter was making Dumbledore angrier. The normally calm and collected face he wore was twisted and his eyes were ablaze in anger. So far several of the plans he had created to stop the case being in favour of the Dupain-Chengs had gone out of the window. Fudge carried on "The Defendants are The Dupain-Chengs Couffaines from Paris, France. The prosecution is being led by Sirius Black of House Black from The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland" Good lord that's a mouthful for him to say, Sirius was surprised the minister for magic hadn't passed out from it.

"Now Mrs Dupain-Cheng, Mr Graham de Vanily Declour, Am I correct, you are the main two who will be speaking today?"

Both stood up and nodded saying "Yes you're Honour" A man with red hair who looked like a Weasley was sitting next to Fudge and was scribbling away, In the corner of the room he could see that pest of a Journalist Rita Skeeter writing away, Who the devil let her in here?

Fudge carried on once the scribe finished writing and said "Is it correct that you took young Harry away from the Guardians he was appointed by Albus Dumbledore on the 1st of November, the morning after young Harry's family passed away?"

Marinette spoke up first, straightening out her suit as she stood to face the court "That would be correct" Albus grinned, oh boy he was about to be in for a shock. He was totally expecting Fudge to move on without any other questions to make the Dupain-Chengs look bad...instead, Fudge said "Can I ask why?"

Honestly, Fudge was being pretty smart for once in his life, he knew if he played his cards wrong he could anger France and the rest of Europe, which was really the last thing he needed. Marinette spoke Calmly "On the evening of October 31st 2001, Myself, My Wife Lucia, along with a couple of our friends were travelling around the world; My wife and I were in the UK at the time to inform Albus Dumbledore that his old friend and my trusted mentor Wang Fu had passed away. on top of that we offered pour aider à l'effort de guerre, comme l'une des dernières demandes de notre mentor."

Marinette slipped into French which he had noticed she had been doing a bit more often over the past week, forcing Felix to say "Marinette said to help with the war effort as was one of our mentor's final requests" before Marinette continued shifting her hair out of the way slightly "We went to Dumbledore who told us we wouldn't be needed. We planned on leaving it at that and he said he was grateful for the offer but a young child had beaten the dark lord terrorising your country."

Amelia then chose to speak up and asked "Don't worry about slipping into your native language, we all understand you must be nervous. You said you planned on leaving it at that, what changed?"

Marinette nodded "On our way to the airport to return to Paris, I felt something calling to me. We had a fair amount of time until our flight and I decided to make my way to where the feeling was taking me. When we arrived at No.4 Privet Drive there seemed to be nothing wrong but then we heard a baby cry and it was outside. My amazing wife Lucia being a witch herself felt the difference and found a tainted ward hiding a young baby on a doorstep. It was nearly -5 Degrees Celcius and he was only wrapped in a thin blanket, the scene I saw before me shook me. We took him to a hotel for the night and we decided we would try to talk to the family of the house in the morning."

Fudge coughed slightly while Dumbledore started pulling at his beard in anger, "so you're saying you didn't just kidnap him?"

Felix nodded stating "That would be correct Minister, I was looking after my niece Laura that night as her parents were also spreading the news about Wang Fu's death, It was the middle of the night when I received a call from Marinette who I consider a close friend and Sister-in-law despite us having no actual familial connection; who informed me that they would be staying in England for another night because of the recently mentioned reason, They also asked for advice about what to do and in my knowledge of such affairs I told her she was doing the right thing. The next afternoon I would receive a call asking about international Non-Magical Adoption papers."

Amelia asked "So giving Harry back to his 'muggle' guardians didn't go well then?'"

Marinette nodded "When we returned the next afternoon only Harry's uncle was in and I quote, he said "We never want that Bâtard magique in our house ever. Good Riddance his rotten unnatural mother died, he could die for all I care. Later when the man's wife arrived, Harry's biological aunt, she begged us to take him away, claiming that her husband would beat Harry if we didn't. Nearly immediately talks of myself and Lucia adopting Harry started within minutes of her being in the house after that comment."

Gasps and accusing stares were aimed at Albus who was now getting really red in the face. Sirius couldn't tell if it was from the embarrassment or anger now.

Albus coughed and said "How do we know you didn't use magic to confuse the Dursleys? When I last met them before sending Harry there, they were a very kind family." That was not the comeback he thought it was. Marinette twisted her body and placed a hand on her hips "Magic...Really Albus, is that the best you can do? Are you forgetting that I am a No-Maj whose only magic Ability came from the events of M-Day a magical explosion in Paris?! I can't even use Lucia's wand and Lucia rarely uses her wand, in fact in the past 15 years I think I've seen her cast a total of 25 spells, mostly low-maintenance ones for housework."

Dumbledore sat down, steam almost pouring out of his ears, it wouldn't be long before the end of the case Sirius thought.

The defendants stand

They were getting close Marinette thought as she watched the old coot who had almost lost his chill entirely there. Standing proud she looked up at the British Minister of Magic and Amelia Bones, who had helped them get to the courtroom; she then proceeded to ask "May I ask why it took so long for you to Adopt Harry by ICW wizarding laws"

Next to her, Felix rubbed his neck while she turned to face Lucia, she gave her a small cheeky grin and she looked at Harry and Jade who were both being on their best performance, that was all the confidence check that she needed.

Turning to face the Minister and Madam Bones again she replied, "It's simple, it's because we thought adopting him in the muggle world would change his name in the wizarding world too. It was only when we were told about the Triwizard tournament that Kagami. My close friend, sister-in-law, and Felix's wife told us that we discovered it, With the French Minister of Magic Charlie Stranton who is also one of Lucia and Felix's old friends confirming it."

Fudge nodded and there were murmurs of understanding around the room, clearly the the magic system confused even them. Fudge then asked Felix "Once you found out why didn't you make the change immediately."

Felix stood up straighter and answered "Because Minister Fudge, we believed that Albus Dumbledore was going to use the Triwizard tournament to trap Harry here in Britain after putting his name in the goblet. We had heard rumours of his hunt over the years and it worried us. If he was actually concerned for Harry, he could have just asked muggle authorities or the guardians that HE left Harry with. And we knew if we changed his name too soon he would catch on to what we were doing and put Harry's new name on there so we had to change his name in magical law on the 31st. It was timed perfectly to keep young Harry safe."

People were whispering and muttering around the room "Oh yeah that would require perfect timing and planning" and other such things as Amelia then stated, "I'm assuming that's what caused young Harry's magic to explode outward then?"

Felix nodded "While Harry's own magic believed him to be Harry Jagged Dupain-Cheng Couffaine due to him growing up as that, the change in magical law and the name pulling his name out as a Potter at the same time caused a massive explosion of his internal magic. It was simply the magic of this ancient goblet battling Harry's own magic. A Battle that Harry has won because he still has his magic."

More muttering before Dumbledore stood up again and yelled "Yes well if his magic had accepted him then why does he still have black hair and Emerald Green eyes? Look, they are even trying to hide it!"

Behind her, she could tell Harry was making a face at Dumbledore and it took her everything to not let out a smirk, especially when Jade elbowed her older brother to get him to stop. Around the room, people were muttering but it wasn't as sinister as before as I said "Mr Black, if I am right, there is a spell that gets rid of all hair dye and eye altering. If you would please cast on my son Harry. The court will find that Harry's is not disguised behind anything."

From up in the stalls she could see Sirius nod, pull out his wand and cast 'Revelia'. The spell shot towards Harry hit him and just like before, nothing changed. Harry blinked and asked "Was that meant to do something or?" Pretending like he didn't know the spell.

There were more gasps and mutterings around the room and she really started to wonder if they could do anything else. Tikki probably was thinking the same as me as she heard the little Kwami laugh in my pocket.

Sirius opened his mouth to speak when the old man yelled "Impossible, your time in Azkaban must have messed up your magic Sirius, that should have worked Revelia, Revelia, Revelia" Three blasts of magic towards Harry hitting him, Harry looked up looking unimpressed "As-tu fini, mon vieux?" he asked in French, rolling his eyes as Dumbledore slammed his hand down onto the wooden desk in front of him, smashing it.

Sirius opened his mouth again "As I was trying to say before, I think I've seen enough. Young Harry has clearly been taken into a loving household by the Dupain-Cheng Couffaines -although I will add that you could cut down your guy's name a bit- His magic has made him a Dupain-Cheng Couffaine and he is clearly happy. There is also the fact that the Dursleys were never one of the approved caretakers of Harry in the events of James and Lily's deaths, as a matter of fact, several members of this court should have been the ones Albus had given young Harry to that Halloween night. But as James's Brother in everything but blood, I can safely say Marinette and Lucia Dupain-Cheng Couffaine are the right parents for Harry Potter."

Madam Bones looked at Sirius and asked "Are you sure Lord Black?" Sirius nodded "I am Mamam Bones" which made Amelia look at Minister Fudge who sighed in either relief or annoyance "The court decides that Harry stays with his family the Dupain-Cheng's Couffaines."

Harry stood up and hugged her waist tightly. Managing to turn around she hugged him back tightly, a couple of tears rolling down her cheeks as she rested her head on top of his. Jade and Lucia quickly joined the hug. Dumbledore couldn't do anything against them now! She then felt Felix rest a hand on her shoulder "Well done Marinette, you really are Miraculous."
