Recap:
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.
The next morning, Harry was up and ready for the trial in which the Ministry of Magic had setup and unknownst to the members of the order; the three deities would also be attending the trial and Harry was the only one besides his Aunt and Uncle that could see them.
"Harry, dear are you ready?!" Molly asked.
Harry was coming down the stairs and was dressed; he was followed by Kreacher who seemed to be making sure that Harry's clothes were perfect for the trial that made the Black Family magic inspect Harry as well. Then he said, "I have been ready, Mrs. Weasely."
Arthur was standing there watching Harry and he was surprised that Harry was dressed to impress but he couldn't shake this feeling that something was going to happen that would change things in the Wizarding World.
Molly finally looked and saw Harry; she wondered why he was dressed like that and said, "Aren't you over dressed, Harry?"
"Not when you mean business, Mrs. Weasely and I assure you that the lawyers will be there as well." Harry stated.
Molly looked confused and wondered what Harry meant by lawyers as did a few others.
"Harry, how can you afford lawyers?" Hermione questioned. C.
Harry looked at Hermione and said, "Why are you concerned as to how I can afford lawyers, Mione?"
"Because you can't afford lawyers, Harry!" Hermione said.
Sirius had just walked into the room and he had heard what Hermione had said. He looked at Hermione and said, "Hermione, the Potters were very wealthy and could afford lawyers in both muggle and magical world. It's why no one would dare cross the Potters most of the time; but if you did then you would regret it immediately."
Hermione along with Ron and Ginny just scoffed at the idea. However, unbeknownst to them, Harry had been in contact with the Greengrasses explaining things to them bit by bit. So, basically, Harry had been in contact with Daphne and they had discussed several things including politics that might be important.
"You'd be surprised what my Aunt and Uncle can afford. They also said that if I needed lawyers that they would be provided, Hermione." Harry said.
Hermione was about to say something when Arthur walked in and asked if Harry was ready to go. Harry nodded to Arthur to let him know that he was ready. So, they left Grimmauld Place and made their way to the entrance to the Ministry of Magic.
Once they entered the Ministry; both Arthur and Harry were met by a man. Harry recognized him as one of the Stark Lawyers named Richard Tamés and Harry had a feeling that Jarvis might have secretly contacted him.
"Harry, your Uncle and Aunt are going to be notified of this since Jarvis contacted me immediately. You have duel citizenship which means that I can defend in both in America and in Britain. Also, the Queen mother backs you since your parents are part of the royal court. I notified both your Aunt and Uncle of what was happening and they weren't exactly happy." Richard said, "Also, the minister changed the time of the trial."
"Well then, I guess we should be going, Mr. Tamés." Harry said.
Richard nodded; while Arthur wondered what will happen in the chambers that Harry's trial will be held in because he could tell that this Mr. Tamés means business.
A few hours later...
Harry was walking with Mr. Tamés to meet with Arthur Weasley; however, Albus Dumbledore tried to get Harry away from Mr. Tamés but failed completely. Then Harry immediately turned towards the Headmaster and said, "Headmaster, you are my professor and nothing else to me. So, I suggest that you remember that or consequences will be something that you will never expect."
Albus Dumbledore couldn't believe that his perfect little weapon was now turning on him or he was probably just confused. He watched as teen walk with this Mr. Tamés and apparently walked towards Arthur to tell him something; but Albus didn't know what it was.
Back in America...
Jarvis was giving his daily report on Harry to both Tony and Nix. When Jarvis was finished telling them everything; both Tony and Nix were upset that this was happening to Harry. Jarvis even sent a recording to them of the trial as well as what happened afterwards.
To say, that Tony and Nix were surprised that was understatement. They were surprised that Dumbledore was still trying to make Harry is little weapon ; when Harry knew the truth that Dumbledore had tried to keep hidden from him.
"Tony?" Nix said.
"Yes, Nix ?" Tony said.
"I know that we have busy schedules now that we've returned to the states; but we also need to start planning the wedding as well." Nix said.
"I agree, darling. We also need to make preprations and keep Harry updated in anything that we do." Tony said.
"Yeah unless for some reason that we lose contact with him due to something unexpected." Nix said.
"That's true, love." Tony said.
"Tony, I think Jarvis has an update for us." Nix said.
"Jarvis, could you please give us an update of what's going on back Britain?" Tony said.
"Yes, sir and ma'am. Harry is safely on the train now with his friends. However, Ms. Granger, Mr. R. Weasley, and his only sister, Ginny are still trying to persuade him of things; which he isn't falling for."
"Well; he has down played it long enough, Nix." Tony said.
"I know, Tony but I do worry for him as I do worry for you." Nix said looking at Tony.
Tony walked over to Nix and held her close like he always did when she had these moments. He wrapped his arms around her and said, "We helped Harry prepare for what was to come to the best of our ability. So, now he has to do what is right and on his own; but he knows that we care for him deeply."
Nix held Tony close to her as well and said, "Even though, Harry is my nephew it sort of felt like that we were also learning to be parents for stepping in like we did. I just hope that James and Lily are proud of what we did."
"My Lord and Lady, they are indeed proud of how you raised their son." A voice said.
Both Tony and Nix turned to see Death along with his two siblings standing there.
"Lord Death and Ladies, Magic & Fate?" Tony said.
"Yes, we came to tell you that something is going to happen sometime but we aren't sure when and this person will even put the magical world to the test." Lady Magic said.
"What does this person want?" Nix asked curiously.
"He will wish court Death but that can not because Death is already married." Lady Fate said.
"He believes that he is in the right but to test Earth itself; he will send someone that is known of the Norse culture and is mischievous." Lady Magic said.
"Why are you letting us know of this?" Nix asked.
"Because only you and your fiancé will know what's really at steak and if your nephew decides to join you then he will." Death said.
Both Tony and Nix understood but they knew that when the time came that they had to pretend that they didn't know anything about it.
"I hate lying but I understand that Tony and I will not let anyone know that we know what's going on." Nix said.
"I do to as well, Nix but remember that we told Harry that if we had to ever lie to him was because it was probably to keep him safe and we give him a hint about it." Tony said.
Nix sighed and said, " Who knows what will happen when but when it does; we'll face it together and if Harry wishes to join he's more than welcome to."
Tony chuckled and said, "Harry would probably say the same thing about us."
They continued talking with the three deities.
Back with Harry...
Harry was talking with Daphne, Neville, Luna, and a few others when Hermione, Ron, and Ginny entered their compartment.
"Harry, we want to apologise for earlier." Hermione said.
Harry was skeptical about the apology but he listened to it. His Aunt and Uncle had told him that if they ever lied to him that they would let him know in a way that they were lying for a good reason.
"Yeah, mate. We sort of lost it." Ron said.
"No offence, Ron but you may want to be careful of the word 'mate' because I know that means friend. However, let's say you wnd up having a friend that is a mate a magical creature and you say that. It would spell trouble for you." Harry said in a cautious tone.
Ron and Hermione blinked as did Ginny. Then Hermione was about ro something when Neville said, "Harry does have a point. I mean you could be just addressing the person as a friend but the magical creature that your friend is going to marry then it could cause problems."
"That doesn't make any sense." Hermione said.
"of course, it does, Granger. I mean all of us took Care of Magical Creatures in our third year. If Ron approached someone who happened to be a mate meaning lifetime partner by marriage of a magical creature and Ron calls them mate even though he means friend; the creature may not see it that way." Daphne said.
Ginny looked at the Slytherin girl and was about to say something when Luna said, "Harry's Aunt and Uncle are planning a beautiful wedding for the Yule Holiday."
Ron, Hermione, and Ginny just looked at Luna like she was crazy.
Then Harry said, "I believe that it will be beautiful; plus, it's being held on at the Stark Flat in London. Uncle Tony and Aunt Nix literally will have a private ceremony and then give pictures to the Press since they just want a ceremony with close friends and family."
"I bet won't be grand like a wedding that I want." Ginny said looking dreamily Harry.
Harry rolled his eyes because he knew what Ginny was thinking; but thanks to his Aunt and Uncle along with himself; they destroyed the illegal marriage contract.
"I wonder the school year will have for us this year?" Draco questioned.
"Who knows?" Harry said.
They continued to have a conversation and Harry was on his guard with Ron, Hermione, and Ginny.
Meanwhile, at Hogwarts...
Albus Dumbledore was having to fill the position of DADA teacher; which led the Ministry of Magic to hire one of their own, Dolores Umbridge. Ablus believed that maybe this woman may get Harry Potter back under his control.
Although, Dumbledore wasn't aware just how well had been taught in magical as well as non magical combat by his Aunt and Uncle that were from the states each year.
Back with Harry and others on the train/ returning to Hogwarts ...
"Harry, do you wonder who our new DADA Professor is?" Pansy asked.
"I don't know but I hope they're better than the first two and the imposter Moody." Harry said.
"So, you enjoyed Professor Lupin even though he was outed as a werewolf?" Susan asked.
"My Aunt knows about Professor Lupin and told me to never judge someone unless they give you a reason to judge them." Harry stated.
Hermione huffed and said, "Harry, what's that supposed to mean?"
Harry looked at Hermione and said, "My Aunt and Uncle have respect for magical creatures and people that have become creatures because when you think about werewolves could be descendants from Loki's son, Finfer. If you read Nors Mythology and understand the stories."
Daphne was smiling and said, "Norse gods are a bit different from the other gods in mythology. So that would make complete sense that werewolves could be descended from Loki's sin, Finfer."
Their conversation continued until they were finally in the castle. However, Harry had a feeling that something was going to happen once more.fw
Once they were inside the castle and in the Great Hall when they watched the first years be sorted. Then just as Dumbledore was about to the announc a few things; he was interrupted by a woman dressed in a pink monstrosity.
He realized that this was the start of a dangerous year once again because Dumbledore and the Ministry if Magic want to push things; but at least both him and Voldemort knew the complete truth thanks to his Aunt and Uncle and that will be the turning point regardless of what Dumbledore thinks.
Time Skip to Two Day Later*
Harry was just sitting in the library when Granger along with the youngest Weasley son and only daughter approached him.
"Can I help you?" Harry asked.
"Harry, we need you to teach us how to defend ourselves." Hermione said.
Harry blinked for a moment or two then he said, "You do realize what you're asking, right?"
"Yes." Hermione said.
"Let's say that I do this? Why exactly are you wanting to learn from me?" Harry asked out of curiosity.
So, Hermione told him exactly why but Harry knew that she wasn't exactly being truthful with him. However, he eventually agreed but he was going to make it where none of the spells could be used against him later on; since his Aunt and Uncle along with himself knew of the betrayal by Albus Dumbledore.
Harry also decided to let Jarvis relay the conversation to his Aunt and Uncle and to let them know that the goblins were already building a case against Dumbledore and those that were in with him on illegal things that concerned him. He also kept Sirius updated as well.
Back in Malibu...
Pepper was talking with Tony and Nix when Jarvis informed them of a message from Harry. To say that they were shocked to learn what Harry was planning was an understatement; but they knew that the goblins were helping to build a case against Dumbledore and those that had followed his illegal plans for Harry.
"Well, it seems that Harry is being sneaky." Tony said.
Nix looked at Tony and said, "It appears so, Tony. Plus, the goblins are helping in anyway that they can building the case against Albus Dumbledore."
Then Pepper brought up something, "Tony? Nix? The Board of Directors are asking when you two plan on tying the knot?"
Both Tony and Nix sighed because they already planned to wed on Christmas Eve/ Yule Eve when Harry was on his Winter Break from Hogwarts.
"Pepper, we have already set a date for the wedding." Tony said finally.
"You have?" Pepper questioned.
"Yes, we have and it will be a private ceremony; but we are making sure that everything will be good. We've even double checked a few things to see if we like the way we jave it or if we need to change something." Nix said.
"How long have you two been secretly planning your wedding?" Pepper asked curiously.
"Since the day that we were betrothed, Pepper. We just never settled on how we wanted to look or how many people to invite to our private ceremony." Tony stated.
Time Skip to Christmas Eve/ Yule Eve*
Harry had arrived at the Stark Flat with Daphne and a few others to help get everything ready for the wedding.
Daphne was actually excited to see a wedding that was going to be combination of magical and non-magical traditions because it had never been done before.
"I can't believe that we were invited to a private wedding ceremony that will be a wedding of the century?!" Tracey said.
"Knowing my Uncle; he probably wants to make sure everything is perfect for their wedding and my Aunt may be the same way." Harry said.
"I'm actually surprised that our families actually let us attend this wedding." Blaise said.
"Yeah, that was kind of strange." Draco said.
"My Aunt is curious how American witches and wizards wedding ceremonies differ from the British ones." Susan said.
"That's an interesting idea." Pansy said.
A few minutes later; after they put their things away, they followed Harry to where the ceremony was going to be held and was completely shocked by how beautiful everything looked. The ceremony was going to take place at 2:00pm that evening and the decor was very beautiful that they thought it out did Hogwarts with Christmas and Yule decor.
"Wow!" Daphne said.
"This is so beautiful!" Susan said.
"It is beautiful, considering that Tony and Nix sketched out several different scenarios of how they wanted their wedding to look." A woman said.
everyone turned to see a redheaded looking woman standing there. At first, they thought that were seeing the ghost of Lily Potter until Harry said, "Pepper, just exactly how many scenarios did they draft?"
"104 scenarios to be exact, Harry." Pepper said.
"That's a lot of wedding scenarios, Pepper." Harry said.
"It is and they even chose a scenario when they decide that they ever want to renew their wedding vowels later on." Pepper said.
"So they planned ahead?" Harry said.
"Yeah and they enjoy the updates from you, Harry. Also, Sirius and Remus will be here along with a few others. Also, Sirius and Remus wish to talk with you, Harry because Nix has an uneasy feeling about something." Pepper said.
Harry never questioned his Aunt's uneasy feelings just as his Uncle doesn't and nodded to Pepper. Then he went to find Sirius and Remus; while his friends explored the Stark Flat a bit before the ceremony.
Two minutes later, Harry found Sirius and Remus with his Uncle Tony; who seemed a bit nervous. Harry cleared his throat to alert them to his presence.
"Bambino!" Tony said.
"Pup?!" Sirius said.
"Cub?!" Remus said.
"Pepper said you wanted to speak with me?" Harry said looking at Sirius and Remus.
"Yeah, Nix has this feeling that Dumbledore is planning something for Sirius." Remus said.
"Like what?" Harry questioned.
"We're not sure, Bambino but Nix does have a plan but you and Remus will have to play a part to make it seem real when it isn't real." Tony said.
Harry blinked.
"Pup, Nix has this feeling that Dumbledore may be planning my death in order for you to stay under his thumb." Sirius said.
Harry's eyes went wide with shock and asked, "Why would be planning your death, Sirius?"
Sirius looked at Harry and said, "Pup, Dumbledore has always thought that I would keep you from him. I am just happy that Nix and Tony got to you when they did or Dumbledore would try to control you, regardless of the prophecy being forced upon you and Riddle because Dumbledore only cares about power."
"So what exactly is the plan in order to trick Dumbledore?" Harry said smiling.
"Well, Sirius will fake his death and will be secretly working with SHIELD thanks to some connections in a magical branch since there's always a possibility that some magicals might enjoy the idea of working for a secret government organisation under a different name; which means that he'll be okay and check in from time to time." Tony said.
"So, Remus and I will have to act like we are in shock about his sudden death?" Harry said.
Tony nodded.
"It will be hard, Tony." Remus said.
"Nix and I know that but we will also be dealing with a lot of things. Also, Harry if somehow we're not in contact after you graduate and decide to marry; don't take to heart because we could be working on something or you could be really busy yourself and that would be one of the reasons why we've not stayed in contact." Tony said; "Plus, we will setup something for Remus as well."
Remus was stunned to hear that as well as Harry.
"In other words, Harry, Tony and Nix came up with something so that Remus and I could still be on your life and Dumbles wouldn't know about it." Sirius said.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
"Come in."
Rhodey and Happy walked in.
"Boss, it's almost time." Happy said.
"Well, I better get to Aunt Nix." Harry said as he exited the door.
Tony chuckled knowing that Nix was probably just as nervous as he was about getting married.
"What's so funny, Tony?" Rhodey asked curiously.
"I was just thinking that I wasn't the only one nervous about today. Not mention, that Nix and I had been planning this day a long time and it's finally here. Nix and I both have had a grand adventure in raising Harry since we saved him and he has turned out okay; regardless of learning the truth about what happened to his parents and who was reall causing all the trouble for him." Tony said.
"Boss, are you saying that helping to raise your nephew gave you a perspective as a parent?" Happy questioned.
"Yeah, he sure did and in a way, Harry helped myself and Nix whenever we decide to start a family of our own." Tony said.
Rhodey and Happy couldn't help but smile at that.
With Nix in the Bridal Suite...
Nix was dressed in her medieval like wedding dress with beautiful flowers in her hair with the Peverell family crest draped across her forehead like an elven crown and she was holding a bouquet of lilies as well as another flower which represented that of her late sister-in-law and her late mother-in-law. She also had something that represented her late brother and late father-in-law in the bouquet as well.
She was looking in the mirror when there was a knock at the door.
"Come in."
Harry walked in and was stunned to see how beautiful his Aunt was. He smiled and said, "Aunt Nix, are you ready?"
Nix looked at Harry and said, "Yes, I am, Harry and I appreciate being walked down the isle by my nephew who is a mixture of both his parents. I honestly believe that they would be proud of you, Harry."
Harry chuckled and said, " Well, I had a great Aunt and Uncle that took me in and raised me well. They also taught me how to defend myself if I couldn't use my magic along with teaching me different things in case I decided to take a job outside of the Magical World."
Nix smiled and said, "Yes, we did, Harry but you also helped us as well."
"How so, Aunt Nix?" Harry asked.
"By giving us a crash course on how to be parents; should we start a family." Nix said with a smile.
Harry chuckled and said, "Glad that I could help, Aunt Nix."
In the wedding area...
Everyone was seated at their places. Then Tony walked down the isle and went his place followed by Rhodey, Happy and Pepper. A few moments later, Sirius, Remus, Amelia, and Nymphadora then the wedding march played.
Everyone rose and watched as Harry escorted the Bride which was his Aunt down the isle to his Uncle Tony. Those that were in attendance were amazed by the bride's beauty especially when Harry handed his Aunt over to his Uncle who seemed to be a bit emotional.
Harry took his seat next to Daphne as both his Aunt and Uncle said their vowels that they had written to each other in front of the priest that also happened to be part of the magical world as well; because no sooner than Tony and Nix saying their wedding vowels did they also recite a magical bond for marriage as well.
After Nix and Tony had said their wedding vowels along with a magical bond vowel; they kissed passsionately which cause some to wolf whistle as well as cat call at them.
Tony and Nix walked back down the isle followed by those who attended the ceremony; they were now heading to the wedding reception.
In the wedding reception there were varieties of Italian, British, and American foods; but what stood out was the three tiered wedding cake.
"Is it just me or does the wedding cake look Gryffindorish?" Draco said.
"It does but I don't think Gryffindors have a light blue in their colors." Pansy said.
Harry noticed what Pansy was talking and turned towards his Aunt and Uncle for an explanation.
"It represents the unity of your Aunt and I in a very unique/strange way, Harry." Tony answered.
Nix sighed and said, "The colours are what Tony and I see when we've been together since before you were born, Harry. But it also represents the bond that Tony and I have then if you've noticed there's a green emerald in the middle that represents you, Harry because you became part of our lives. Plus, beside the emerald; we have a buck and doe and laying in front of them is an Irish hound and a wolf."
Sirius and Remus choked at hearing what Nix was saying. While, the others were completely shocked to learn that it was Tony's and Nix's way that they were always family no matter what happens.
Harry smiled starting to understand what his Aunt Nix was saying to him.
Back to Hogwarts We Go ...
Winter Break was over and Harry along with his trusted friends were going back to Hogwarts. While on the train, in the compartment that they shared with Granger and the younger Weasleys; they were talking about the wedding ceremony of Harry's Aunt and Uncle from America.
At that moment, Ron, Ginny, and Hermione entered the compartment; they asked Harry how his winter break was and he was amazing spending Christmas/Yule holidays with family and friends.
Daphne really didn't like Ginny because of how she was acting around Harry. She noticed that Ginny made Harry uncomfortable even when he had saved her from the Chamber of Secrets; he had been uncomfortable around her even though he tried to hide it.
Not mention, the others seemed to notice it as well except for Ron and Hermione; which was very suspicious considering they were claiming to be Harry's friends when they really weren't.
Finally, they arrived at Hogsmeade and disembarked from the train then they got into a carriage and were heading up to the castle.
