Recap
Unbeknownst to the witch and wizards that had come to get Harry; Jarvis recorded everything for security measures like he had been instructed to since Nix and Tony were curious as to who Dumbledore sent after Harry.
Jarvis had even recorded their reactions to the London flat as well as their names when they introduced themselves to Harry. However, before they left everyone heard Harry say, "Jarvis, lock up the flat until my return and you know what to do."
"Of course, Master Harry and Sir and Ma'am wishes you to show the Magical world what you're made of."
"Tell them that I will, Jarvis after all no one messes with family." Harry said.
Remus was wondering what Harry meant by that as did the others.
They arrived at Grimmauld Place and as they entered the home; Sirius was standing there waiting to give Harry. Harry hugged Sirius then Remus looked at Harry and asked, "Harry, what did you mean by what you said to Jarvis as we were leaving to bring you here?"
"Yeah, I think we all would like to know that, Mr. Potter?" The gruff voice said.
"Pup?" Sirius questioned curiously.
Harry smiled and said, "Sirius, you are aware of the bloodline in which the Potters are descended from, correct?"
"Yeah, I am. What of it, Pup?" Sirius said acting confused.
"Then you will probably be shock to know that the Head of the main bloodline along with her fiancé, Lord Claiborne-Stark issued a bloodline feud when they found out something that bothered them both." Harry stated.
Remus and the others were now stunned to hear that a very rare feud was issued by the main bloodline that the Potters were descended from and there was nothing that they could do about it.
"Mr. Potter, do we know who is included in this bloodline feud?" A man asked.
Harry turned towards the male voice and said, "The person or persons will be marked by the family crest with other family crests."
To hear this was a shock to some of the members of the Order of the Phoenix. It also got them curious who was marked in the bloodline feud and for what reasons.
"Harry, how was your Summer?" Hermione asked.
Sirius and Remus were watching Harry's reaction towards people because it may give some sense of who was marked on the bloodline feud; however, unbeknownst to the others, Sirius as well as Remus may already know who has been marked or it might just Sirius that knows.
"It was fine. Besides, my Aunt and Uncle were called back to the States." Harry said.
"Are they abandoning you, Harry?" Ginny asked.
"No! I have Jarvis and he is protective of me just as my Aunt and Uncle are!" Harry answered.
"Who's Jarvis, Harry?" Molly asked curiously.
Harry grinned and said, "He's a ghostly AI of sorts."
Sirius and Remus couldn't help but laugh at that. Then they heard, "Master Harry, I believe that you've out done yourself. However, I suppose that I do act as a ghost at times."
Molly screamed which in turn caused the portrait of Mrs. Black to scream. Sirius calmed his mother down and quietly explained things to her which caused his mother's portrait eyes to widen with shock.
"Where did that voice come from?" The woman known as Tonks said.
"From my specially designed watch that Uncle Tony gave me." Harry answered.
"How is that possible because muggle technology can't work around magic?" Tonks asked.
"This technology can because my Uncle Tony was able to design it and has the backing of MCUSA." Harry answered.
The Order members except Sirius and Remus were shocked to learn that Lord Claiborne-Stark had the backing of MCUSA to create muggle tech that worked with magic.
Mrs. Black's portrait was screaming foul words when Harry spoke, "Mrs. Black, will you shut up! I hope recall that a member of the Black family married into the Potter Family and the Black Family is under the protection of the main bloodline in which the Potters are decended from that should any member including Sirius will be part of a bloodline fued! Unless a someone married into the Black Family and thought that they would be entitled to something."
Mrs. Black stopped screaming and looked at Harry with a very shocked look on her face that she said, "Heir Potter, do you mean to tell me that the main head of the Potter Bloodline has issued the rarest of feuds and included the Black Family bloodline in said feud? Also, why would someone marry into the Black Family for entitlement?"
Harry nodded and said, "Both Lady Peverell and Lord Claiborne-Stark issued it since they will be wed on Yule Eve; plus the bloodline feud is backed by Lord Death, Lady Fate, and Lady Magic themselves. As for your second question, I'm not exactly sure but it could mean that this married into the family for money and power."
Mrs. Black and even Kreacher was shocked to hear that three deities backed this bloodline feud because that would be considered very rare to happen.
The Order members were shocked to see Harry holding a conversation with the portrait of Mrs. Black ; which included Sirius and Remus.
"Heir Potter, is Lady Peverell aware that there is another that also shares the bloodline with the Peverells?" Mrs. Black asked curiously as Harry started walking up the stairs.
Harry turned a bit and said, "Yes, they are both aware and that's why the bloodline feud was actived in the first place because two branches of the Peverell has been tampered with by someone who will regret it very deeply in the afterlife life." Then continued upstairs.
The order members watched as Harry walked up the stairs and shocked by what he had just said except for Sirius because he realized what Harry had just conveyed.
Mrs. Black watched the young heir as did Kreacher then she face her eldest son and said, "Sirius, your father and I know exactly how strong the Peverell Family is. However, to know that a Peverell is to marry a Claiborne who is also a Stark hence Claiborne-Stark means that there must've been a marriage contract made after they had met which makes them soulmates beyond regular soulmates."
Sirius looked at his mother and said, "Are you saying that there's a possibility that Lady Peverell and Lord Claiborne-Stark have the rarest among rare soulmate bonds, mother?"
The portrait of Mrs. Black nodded.
Sirius nearly fell backwards in shock as he realized what this could mean.
"Siri, are you okay?" Remus questioned.
"If Phoenix's and Tony's soulmate bond is rarest among the soumate bonds then that ultimately means that they can do something that has never been done before in history of Ancient and Noble houses. It could also mean that Phoenix and Tony were soulmates before they even met each other." Sirius said ignoring Remus's question at the moment.
"Precisely, Sirius." Mrs. Black said, "And is considered very rare including what Lady Peverell and her fiancé are doing which are including bloodlines that are in some way related to a branch of the Peverells in the Bloodline feud as your godson put it. Also, Sirius, if I'm not quite mistaken; I may assume that your godson has been able to take his title."
Sirius went wide eyed immediately then he got this mischievous grin and said, "If you're right, mother then it means that Harry has been emancipated before he is seventeen and it also means that the Ministry will have to accept it or deal with the consequences which I am sure that Phoenix would love to pull something that no one is aware of."
Molly was stunned to hear this and would have to tell Dumbledore.
Meanwhile, with Tony and Nix on the Stark Jet...
Tony and Nix weren't exactly sure if they were truly okay with leaving Harry; but they knew Jarvis would alert them to anything if Harry needed one of them or even both of them.
"Hun, are you okay?" Tony asked.
Nix turned to Tony and said, "Tony, why do I get this uneasy feeling for Harry?"
"I feel the same, Nix but he has to do this his way and if he needs us; Jarvis will let us know." Tony said.
"Tony?" Nix said.
"Yeah, hun?" Tony said.
"Did you have Pepper do something for us during Harry's third year?" Nix questioned looking at her phone.
"Yes, I did. Why do you ask, Nix?" Tony said.
"Well, Pepper sent me pictures of what she came up with for the cottage in the countryside of Paris and asked if you and I would choose the one we liked best." Nix said.
Tony looked at Nix and said, "I asked her how quickly she could plan a Christmas Eve wedding at the cottage. So, I gave her the cottage's location via 3D model to see what she could come up with. Plus, I didn't know exactly when you wanted to get married exactly but it didn't hurt to prepare ahead, did it?"
"No, it didn't. Well, why don't we don't we do it this year? Because I did like the second design and I will Jarvis to tell Harry." Nix said.
"Okay and Harry can inform those that he wants to attend as well. Besides, I think Bambino has a crush on the girl name Daphne Greengrass and she has one on him." Tony said.
Nix laughed and said, "So you noticed it as well?"
Tony nodded and said, "I'm sort of glad that we waited until Harry was fifteen to get married though."
"Why is that, Tony?" Nix asked.
"Well...when I first asked Pepper to help start planning; I think she may have jumped to conclusions but then I told her that we were wanting to marry when Harry turned fifteen." Tony said.
"So basically, you gave Pepper a heads up pretty early and realized your mistake when you used the words 'pretty quick' to Pepper?" Nix grinned.
Tony nodded then they continued to talk.
Back at Grimmauld Place...
Albus arrived along with Severus and Minerva. Molly approached the three in a tizzy because of what happened with Harry and the portrait of Mrs. Black.
"What's wrong, Molly ?" Albus asked.
"Harry was speaking with the portrait of Sirius's mother and Mrs. Black may have said that it's possible for Harry to have been emancipated." Molly said.
"That's quite impossible, Molly." Albus said.
However, both Severus and Minerva disagreed with Albus because Albus was the one that forced Harry to compete in the Tri-Wizard Tournament at a young age of fourteen.
At that moment, Sirius walked into the room not saying anything. He was aware that he was probably interrupting something but he knew that Phoenix and Tony were capable of since they both were prominent families.
Albus looked at Sirius and asked, "Why was Harry talking to the portrait of your mother?"
Sirius grinned and said simply, "Harry was just reminding my mother that the Blacks had family ties to the Potters because of James Potter's mother. Also, he mentioned that someone married into the Black Family for entitlement thinking that they would get anything that they wanted."
"What do you mean, my boy?" Albus questioned.
"Well, from what I can figure is that Phoenix Peverell may done research on the Sacred Twenty-Eight as well as their family allies and did several background checks as the muggle police force would call it." Sirius answered truthfully.
"Why would she do that, Sirius?" Minerva asked curiously.
Sirius looked at Minerva and said, "Minnie, it is possible that Phoenix believes that there was more to the deaths of James and Lily than the magical world believes; thus she believes that she needs to find justice for James and Lily, no matter the risk. Considering, James was pretty close to Phoenix like siblings. James once told me that when Phoenix has a hunch on something is that she never backs down to find the truth as well as the connections to the truth. He also told me that if someone was involved something willing or unwilling then Phoenix would look at every angle."
"What exactly would this mean, Siri?" Remus asked curiously.
Sirius looked at Remus and said, "Remus, you weren't exactly around when Phoenix would visit because you were busy; but I was and I saw wounds on Phoenix that weren't exactly caused by magic. The wounds were from her job and I could recognize magical wounds as well as muggle wounds considering I had received some muggle medical books from Lily sometimes because she thought it would be nice to have."
"What does that have to do with anything, Sirius?" Tonks said.
Sirius looked at his cousin, Tonks and said, "Everything because Phoenix's wounds were gunshot wounds, knife wounds, and some wounds were also caused by magical infused muggle weapons."
Everyone gasped at hearing that; but Arthur had to ask, "Sirius, does that mean that Phoenix knows that the people that she faced were magical?"
Sirius looked at Arthur and said, "She probably did but she also does something more than what Kingsley or any Auror would do. You could say that she's like Moody except for the paranoia.However, James told me that one time that he had seen Phoenix jump from a broom hight that was higher than what Harry fell from in his third year but she literally flipped off as if she was after something or someone."
Molly was about saying when Kreacher entered the room and placed something on the table because he was curious about what it did.
Sirius looked at Kreacher confused as wel as questioning him.
"Young Mr. Potter handed this to Kreacher and said that it was to be placed on the table." Kreacher stated.
"What does it do?" Arthur wondered out loud.
Sirius approached the device and hit the button. Suddenly, a holographic image appeared of elderly looking woman with a crown on her head.
"Who's that?" Tonks said.
Then the holographic form spoke, 'Lord Sirius Orion Black, I was informed of an injustice done to you by the Magical Government by my top MI6 Agent and trust me when say that I am disappointed in the Ministry of Magic. My agent always reports directly to me then reports to her boss. Occasionally, I sent my agent into the magical world to see what goes on since the Ministry of Magic has decided to cut ties with the Crown; when the British Magical community is still part of my kingdom. I can only assume that you aware that my Agent is somehow connected to the Potters?"
Sirius just nodded to the holographic form of the Queen of England. While the rest of the Order was in shock, but continued listening to what was being said.
When the hologram was finished; everyone in the room was completely stunned except for Sirius, Severus, and Minerva.
Finally, Tonks said, "A British Intelligence agent, was here?! And we weren't aware of it!"
"What does this mean, Albus?" Molly questioned.
Sirius grinned as he realized exactly what it meant and it definitely meant trouble for those that went against him, his family, and more. He was also aware that it meant that Phoenix was the one reporting everything to the Queen and British Intelligence since she had been in England. However, he wondered how well she had managed to remain hidden without the Ministry or even Albus Dumbledore knowing.
"I don't know exactly, Molly." Albus said completely stunned that Sirius now had the backing of the Queen herself.
Also, he couldn't believe that the Queen had a spy of sorts working for her among the magicals and he didn't know it or it was possible that the spy had been in front of him and was unable to detect it.
Back with Tony and Nix...
"Nix?" Tony said.
"Yes, Tony?" Nix said.
"We'll be back in the States in a couple of hours. So, what do you think Harry is doing, dear?" Tony said.
"Well, with the help of secret training as well as secretly letting Tom Riddle know the truth about everything since things have already started backfiring on Albus Dumbledore or that it was me and you issued the bloodline fued in place." Nix stated.
Tony blinked for a moment then grinned and said,"That's true, dear. However, what if Harry decides to stay in the British Magical World once he finishes the forced prophecy and meets a nice witch?"
"We'll just have to make sure to stay in contact with him; unless something happens and we can't remain in contact with him, love." Nix said.
"Sure, unless there's some reason that we can't, Nix." Tony said.
Nix looked at Tony and said, "I'm pretty sure that Dumbledore will try and stop all communication with us ; he can try to control Harry once more, Tony."
"We know that he won't be able to do that, Nix. Since Harry won't have to his beautiful Snowy white owl all the time, Nix." Tony said.
"That's true, but I can't shake this feeling that Dumbledore may try something, Tony." Nix said.
Tony realized what that meant and now he was concerned as well for Harry's well-being.
Back at Grimmauld Place...
It was the day of Harry's supposed trial at the Ministry of magic and he was getting ready; when Kreacher came in to see if he was ready.
"Kreacher, came to see if young Master Potter-Black was ready?" Kreacher said.
"I am ready, Kreacher and this shall be interesting because no one should underestimate me; since Uncle Tony and Aunt Nix have trained me in fighting, politicals, and more. It also doesn't help the Minister of Magic at all." Harry said to Kreacher.
Harry finally left his room to go downstairs. Meanwhile, Ron, Hermione, and Ginny went into his room because
they were on a mission to find something in Harry's things or possibly steal something.
However, what they didn't know was that Harry's trunk had been modified by magic and technology and that a security camera had been installed that would alert Harry quietly without anyone knowing; which was designed by Tony with the help of Nix.
Downstairs...
Sirius and a few others were eating breakfast when Harry came in dressed to impress so to speak.
"Aren't you looking sharp, Harry?" Remus said.
"Uncle Tony said that negotiations are always diplomatic in some sense and those who think that they can outwit someone is smart and clever but doesn't brag there is a slight chance for them win their case. Also, sometimes you have to dress to impress people when they least expect it." Harry said.
Ginny was practically drooling over Harry.
"What do you mean, Mr. Potter?" Severus asked curiously.
"Think of it this way, Professor. Wizgnot is a battle ground for politicals of the Wizarding World and sometimes you have to choose your battle within the battlefield. The Wizarding World is divided by dark, neutral, and light magic but dark magic is dangerous and yet some light spells can be dangerous as well but those who are neutral can balance the two." Harry said.
Sirius chuckled because Harry was taking the reins of his life and in some strange way; he did have a point.
"Harry, are you ready to go to the Ministry?" Arthur asked.
"Yes and trust me when I say that the Ministry will get a shock. After all, what happened in my fourth year was in fact approved by Lady Magic herself and I also have backing of the Queen as well as MCUSA." Harry answered.
Everyone seemed confused by what Harry was saying except for Sirius because of what Harry had wrote and told him while he had been on the run until now.
Sirius knew that Nix and her future husband may have prepared Harry in more ways than one and the Wizarding World was going understand to never underestimate a Potter or any branch of their family again.
[Author's Note: I had to have surgery on my right hand because my finger didn't exactly heal right from where I broke it on November 5, 2024 protecting my son when we ended up in the wrong place at the wrong time. So, I sort of took a break from writing in order to let my hand rest since I'm overworking my left hand. Hopefully, I be able be back to working order on December 30, 2024.]
