EAll there was to see was red. Harriet kept hitting Yaxley since she first retaliated and continued for several minutes until her caretakers entered the room. Immediately, Tom pulled her away from the attacker. She kicked and screamed to have another
piece of the unconscious man. "Stop this, this instant Harriet," Tom growled.
"LET. ME. GO. RIDDLE!" She yelled. "THAT BASTARD DESERVES TO PAY. HE HURT MY BABY, AND I WON'T FORGIVE IT."
"Then tend to your child's needs and let me deal with him!" He argued.
Slowly, the teen calmed down to let her son's cries fill the room. She ran to her son and swaddled him in her arms singing a lullaby to calm him down. Sadly, it didn't work. The teen mother started looking for where her son was hurting and felt someone
sit beside her feeding her son a potion. Harriet looked up to see Severus next to her. She looked back down and brushed her hand on her little boy's head feeling a big bump. Later, the new father healed all his daughter's wounds. Meanwhile, Tom dealt
with Yaxley healing him in the process. The Dark Lord was furious, and he wanted to have a piece of him. He was going to set an example of Yaxley telling every follower his orders are meant to be followed. In the meantime, Narcissa was helping her
son. She unbound him and healed the small cuts he got when the crib was broken. "Is he dead?" The teenage mother asked darkly.
"No, but he will wish he was," Tom assured. "No one disobeys my orders!" He growled as he finished.
"My Lord, if I may I wish to have a moment with Yaxley before you deliberate your decision," Severus said holding his daughter close.
The Lord nodded. "Thank you, my Lord."
After everything calmed down, Harriet finally had closure with her past when she protected her son from any kinds of pains from his sperm donor. Once she enclosed that to Narcissa and Severus, they felt proud of her
Two weeks passed after the incident, and everything was turning out to be great. Once Yaxley was all healed, he faced his Lord's retribution. He pleaded for the Lord's mercy trying to convince everyone in the room he was trying to make her pay for the
sin's she committed against the Dark Lord. Those words, not only angered the Dark Lord, it angered the girl's father causing to cast Sectumsempra followed by two Crucios, one being from Riddle. In the end, Yaxley met his end thanks to his foolishness
and the Killing Curse. In the end of the sentence, everyone, including Bellatrix, knew that the Potter girl was off limits. Once Tom was alone, he could never forget Yaxley's words and it haunted him every since.
Since the incident, Draco and Harriet had grown to stand each other. Draco had helped Harriet heal in an incredible way, making her feel comfortable around men. Also, Harriet's relationship with Severus had grown. He found the girl's passion for Potions
and have not stopped talking about the subject. The man had seen past the Golden Girl exterior and saw the real Harri loving her every bit and seeing a little bit of his best friend every day. He spent his time trying to make up for the way he had
treated her for the past five years. When he didn't spend time with Harriet, he spent it with Sirius teaching him potion ingredients as the boy giggled when his grandfather smiled.
Harriet had settled all her differences with Lucius, even though she still saw him as a pompous jerk most of the time. No matter what she thought, she enjoyed his company. He had taken good care of her son as if he was his own grandchild, and that was
good enough for her, jerk or not. Now, with Narcissa, she had grown to see her as another mother figure, helping her raise Sirius. She gave her advice like any mother would do to their daughter. Narcissa had only pampered the young teenager as she
would with Draco. The older woman gave her all kinds of dresses and robes, and, not to mention, shoes.
Today, Severus, Harriet, and SJ were going to Gringotts to give the bank all the papers of the adoption and Harriet to take her heritage test, bank statements and see her parent's will. In this trip, there was no stopping SJ's excitement. He jumped up
and down in his mother's arm looking at the wonders of Diagon Alley. In disguise, Harriet looked around her if any Order member or Dumbledore would appear. She was worried something might happen to her little boy, and Severus was doing the very same
with his new family. Once in the bank, Harriet greeted the goblin at the front desk and requested to meet with Griphook to have her list of tasks done. They were all directed to an office where Griphook waited. "Good morning, Griphook, I'm here to
get my heritage test and see my parent's will."
The goblin's eyes widen with astonishment at the way the teenage wizard addressed him. He nodded as a reply grabbed a parchment and a knife. "The test will be five Galleon which will be taken from the main Potter vault."
"The main Potter vault? But I only have one vault," Harriet interrupted.
Severus arched his eyebrows in surprise. "Harriet, your father was a pureblood. The Potter family is a very old one making them one of the richest families in the Wizarding World." He explained.
"But, no one told me that before. I only thought my parent's left me the trust vault for my school supplies," She exasperated.
The goblin from the shock continued, "All we need are seven drops in the parchment, and we'll have the result soon."
Harriet did as told and read:

The witch and wizard were both surprised with what the parchment revealed, so was the goblin. Instantly the goblin bowed down to the descendant of the ten Ancient and Noble houses. The teenage girl frowned at his actions and asked for him to stand. "Why
can't I be normal for once?" She murmured. "Why was I never informed of this? All I knew was the trust fund my parents left me. I never knew I was Sirius' heir." She spoke.
"We have sent messages about Lord's Black will reading. The reading was two days ago, but Dumbledore sealed the will." The goblin explained.
"He what?" Harriet gasped. "Can he do that?" She looked at Severus looking for answers.
"Yes, he did so before with your parent's will," Severus replied.
"I want those wills, NOW!" She clutched her son closer to her. The goblin immediately rushed to find the and got two long parchments and a silver box. She grabbed the first parchment and read it.
I, James Fleamont Potter, write this without any influence or Imperiused. At the event of my death, I leave everything to my wife, Lily Potter neé Evans and my only daughter, Harriet Lilliana Potter. If both, Lily and I are killed by Voldemort, I leave everything to my daughter, Harriet Lilliana Potter. I leave Sirius Black with my invisibility coat until Harriet is of age and give him custody of Harriet. To Remus Lupin, I give 100,000 galleons and a cottage in France.
Under no circumstances is Harriet to go to my sister-in-law, Petunia Dursley neé Evans.
If Sirius is not able to gain custody Harriet custody will be to the following people:
Alice and Frank Longbottom
Arthur and Molly Weasley
Andromeda Tonks neé Black
Remus Lupin
Once Harriet finished reading her father's will, she wiped her tears knowing how much her parent's loved her. She continued with her mother's will.
I, Lily Potter neé Evans, write this without any influence or Imperiused. At the event of my death, I leave everything to my husband, James Fleamont Potter and my only daughter, Harriet Lilliana Potter. If both, James and I are killed by Voldemort, I leave everything to my daughter, Harriet Lilliana Potter. I leave Sirius Black custody of Harriet. To Remus Lupin, I give 100,000 galleons. To Severus Snape, I leave 50,000 galleons and sorry never forgiving you in fifth year.
Under no circumstances is Harriet to go to my sister, Petunia Dursley neé Evans.
If Sirius is not able to gain custody Harriet custody will be to the following people:
Alice and Frank Longbottom
Arthur and Molly Weasley
Andromeda Tonks neé Black
Remus Lupin
Severus Snape
When Harriet stopped reading, Severus lost his cold mask and cried when he heard Lily's words. Harriet hugged him and whipped away his tears assuring him everything was okay. Then the goblin touched the red jewel in the silver box and a hologram of Sirius
appeared. And he said:
"This is my death testament; I am not Imperiused. First thing's first, Pup, when you hear this I'll be dead doing something crazy or protecting you. If I was protecting you, it is not your fault, and I want you to get it into your thick skull because I know you are stubborn. Also, I leave you as my heir, knowing you'll need a lot of power to protect my grandson. To SJ, I want to leave an album I made ever since he was born and I leave the Marauders Map and some pranks we made back in the day. To Remus, I leave 100,000 galleons. You need them, buddy, use them well and buy a new wardrobe, please. To Albus Dumbledore, all I leave is nothing. And he can kick my dead arse for all I care. One last thing, Pup, if something ever bad happens with those muggles, I want you to go to Severus or Narcissa. If you ever go to Severus tell him I am sorry for all the pranks I did and that I hope he can protect you better than I ever did. If you are with Cissa, I hope she treats you like the daughter she always wished she had. See you in the afterlife, I'll be waiting for you with your parents."
Harriet hugged Sirius as she sobbed uncontrollably. She was then hugged by Severus trying to calm her down. "It will be alright Harriet, I promise." He hushed.
"How will it be alright, look at what Dumbledore has done to me!" She cried. "I could have grown loved and cared for if it wasn't for him meddling in my life! How can everything will be alright?
Her father didn't have any way no answering, all he could do was hug her. After settling everything in the bank, they left heading to the twins' store for the first time. The teen hid the little boy in her coat before someone recognized him or her. Once
she went inside, the twins got her away from Severus grabbing her from her arms and taking her to the back. "If it isn't Harriet Potter," Fred said. "What should we do Forge?"
"I don't know, Gred. For all, we know this is not a real glamour."
Harriet giggled at the twins antics, "Let go of me, guys. I need your help, but I need to find Sev... I mean professor Snape." She explained.
The Weasleys looked at each other surprised but did as their little sister, in all but blood, asked. They found Severus about to kill the twins, and they took the frantic professor and Harrie to their office. "You have ten seconds to explain yourselves,
Weasleys," Severus growled.
"Calm down, I told them to bring you here. If anyone can keep things from Dumbledore are these two, no matter what Tom thinks we need all the help we can get to protect him." Harriet explained. "Now you two, sit down and listen 'cause this will be a long
story." There Harriet told about SJ and showed the sleeping boy hidden in her coat. The twins were shocked, to say the least, and were raging wanting to kill Dumbledore on spot.
"Okay, Harriet. What's your plan?" The twins said in unison.
