(Godric's Hollow)
Sirius Black had a scowl on his face as he approached the home of his two best friends and immediately found the door blasted open, "Damn you Peter, you'll pay for this." Sirius roared with fury as he walked into the home. Lying on the floor was the dead visage of his best friend James Potter and as he walked up he knew what was waiting for him and cracked a smile. The sound of a crying baby briefly filled the room and Sirius walked over and found his best friend alongside his wife holding their crying baby. James had jet-black hair hazel eyes and glasses while his wife Lily was a beautiful young woman with bright red hair and almond shaped green eyes.
"Glad the plan worked." Sirius smiled.
Lily was about to respond when they heard an extremely loud noise, "Sirius, get ready to fight. We'll put Harry in his bed and hide again." Lily said firmly. The only people who knew the location were Peter and Voldemort and that meant something was very wrong.
"Right." Sirius replied and with his wand ready Walking downstairs to meet their latest attacker he certainly didn't expect to see the massive Rubeus Hagrid standing over what he assumed was James Potter's dead body.
"So he was right. I didn't think it could be true but" Hagrid said as he tried to hold back tears.
"Who was right Hagrid." Sirius scowled.
"Dumbledore." Hagrid explained.
Sirius was absolutely furious, but it was thanks to years of being able to hide his feelings he kept calm and formed a plan, "Hagrid sit down for a second mate. Would you like some tea."
Hagrid smiled, "Sure would. Hate using those bloody Portkey's." Hagrid frowned before revealing a small box.
Sirius frowned as he began to make some tea. 'Sorry Hagrid but I'm afraid you're going to have to take a nap." Sirius replied as he reached into the cabinet and picked a special brand of Jasmine tea with a sleeping potion in case Lily or James needed some rest. In this case he was going to use it to put the giant to sleep. Admittedly it wouldn't work nearly as well on Hagrid, but it would work for now.
With the tea done, he handed it to Hagrid who smiled, "Thanks mate I needed this." Hagrid replied as he enjoyed the tea.
"Of course. So tell me what happened."
"Dumbledore came over to my cabin in a hurry and said something happened. He told me to… hold on I'm getting sleepy."
Sirius smiled, "Why don't you rest for a bit mate."
"But what about Harry…. Dumbledore wanted me to bring him to him for safe keeping while you hunt Peter."
"Let me worry about Albus. Take a nap for a bit." Sirius smiled though his anger grew.
"Alright." Hagrid smiled and he went over to the couch and took a nap.
Sirius scowled, "It would seem it's not just Peter that betrayed us."
"No it isn't. I knew something about that was weird." Lily frowned as she walked in with James behind him. They walked down behind Sirius in case something happened, but they certainly didn't expect this.
"So what should we do." James frowned. There was absolutely no way Dumbledore should've known about the attack unless he put some sort of charm on the house to monitor them without their permission. The fact he wanted Harry while Sirius went after Peter was equally problematic.
Lily smiled as she came up with an idea, "How about we play one more prank on the world. One so great that the marauder's will be remembered forever."
Sirius smiled, "What did you have in mind Lils."
As Lily explained the plan Sirius and James both smiled because this one was going to be for the history books.
(7 years later)
Harry Potter was all smiles as he woke up, "Happy birthday to me." Harry smiled from inside the massive bed inside his father's ancestral home of Potter Manor. He'd lived there since he was a little over a year old with his mother and father after his family was attacked on that fateful Halloween night. Most of the world believed his parents were killed in the attack but that was actually part of a prank that his mother and father played.
Lily was a genius in charms and when they went into hiding she and James added some extra protection to the house along with a contingency plan. The first protection was connected to the Fidelius Charm and would alert them anytime somebody revealed the location and who was told. The second was a ward designed to delay anybody who was told the secret outside of those who were originally under the charm for five minutes. That was enough time for James and Lily to activate their contingency plan. Using a pair of house elves that were older in age, she had them transform into Lily and James respectively. Meanwhile Lily activated a ritual that would use the sacrifice as a means to protect Harry since according to Dumbledore he was the one in the most danger. The plan worked and Harry received a lightning bolt scar on his body for his troubles, but Voldemort was no more. Had something gone wrong, his parents would've reveal themselves from underneath the invisibility cloak and attack what they hoped was at least a weakened Voldemort.
Harry got up and got dressed in some robes as he made his way downstairs. Waiting in the living room was his godfather Sirius. "Morning Harry. Your mum is making breakfast along with the elves and your dad is still sleeping."
"Cool. So who else is going to make it to my party." Harry wondered.
"Good question. Ted Andi and Dora might make it but I'm not sure about the others." Sirius answered. Andi was his cousin Andromeda Tonks and Dora was her daughter Nymphadora, who hated that name, who just finished her second year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
"Okay. Let's hope they make it. I'm really lonely." Harry sighed.
"I know pup, but we have our reasons." Sirius replied as he recalled how things reached this point.
While Hagrid was sleeping off the Jasmine tea Sirius fed him, Lily and James used the time to pack their things and moved back into Potter Mansion which he had the goblins repair just before they went into hiding. Meanwhile Sirius waited for Hagrid to wake up and gave him Harry and pretended to go after Peter to pacify the gentle giant. Instead, he used a portkey to return to Potter mansion and listen in on Dumbledore's plans.
To their horror Dumbledore revealed that he was going to take Harry to the Dursley's and that he would hide them behind blood wards using the very ritual Lily deployed to protect them. The trio were furious because the Dursley's were bad news and Harry would be miserable there.
The next day they secretly went to the goblins and told them what happened. King Ragnok was furious and worked with the trio to retrieve Harry from the Dursley's before transporting them to Potter Mansion and placing it under the Fidelius charm with Sirius as the Secret Keeper. It was a good move because a few days later, Dumbledore attempted to use his influence to seal the will and make himself young Harry's magical guardian. He was denied because Ragnok told him that their will was executed, and Harry was sent to live with Sirius in a location hidden by the same charm that protected them before. Dumbledore was furious but backed away since he didn't want to start a war with the goblins. Dumbledore would learn that he and Peter were the only people amongst the group who received something from Gringotts with the will.
"I thought I heard my little boy." Lily said happily as she walked into the room wearing a large apron and some casual clothes.
'Morning mum."
"Breakfast will be ready soon and then we'll check the mail. Don't worry Gano sorted it." Lily replied referring to his personal house elf.. Thanks to that infamous night, and Hagrid's subsequent blurting about what happened in the middle of a bar, Harry was known as the Boy Who Lived to the wizarding public. Every year on his birthday, Harry would get all kinds of mail from people. Kids his age would send toys and cookies along with notes of thanks and some adults would do the same.
"Cool." Harry smiled.
"I'm going to wake up James and we can eat.' Lily smiled.
"Sounds good." Sirius replied.
(Scene Skip)
Breakfast was a simple affair and after they enjoyed that Harry decided to go through his mail. He had to crack a smile since there were some familiar names that he saw over the years. Quite a few of them were girls his age and he couldn't wait until Hogwarts to properly meet them. "So. What should we do now that I'm 8" Harry wondered with Sirius and James helping him organize the massive number of letters. There were 136, which was actually a decrease from the 137 last year.
"We make a trip to Gringotts. It's time for you to officially claim your rings and deal with that scar." Lily scowled. In addition to claiming the Heir Rings for the Potter and Black Lordships, today was the day that Harry would finally get rid of the lightning bolt shaped scar that had been stuck on him since birth. His family knew what it was thanks to talking with Ragnok but they couldn't get rid of it until his magic progressed to a certain point.
"Sounds like a plan. I hate this bloody scar." Harry scowled.
"So do we Harry." Lily sighed. As Harry got dressed he got a good look at himself in the large mirror in his room and smiled. Thanks to keeping in shape he was fairly fit for his age and about 4 foot 11 which was pretty tall if Sirius was to be believed. He had messy black hair, something he couldn't change, and vivid green eyes. Andromeda joked that anybody who knew his parents would recognize him for the vivid eyes even without his trunk. Andromeda's daughter Nymphadora who he called Nym, as opposed to Dora which was used by everyone else, used to joke that he could attract girls because of those eyes alone. Harry cheekily asked if that list included her and the blush that followed was a source of great teasing from Sirius for a good few weeks. His smile faded as he looked up at the scar that had been on his forehead for years. After today it would be gone.
Harry turned around to find his personal elf Gannondorf waiting for him. The gray elf smiled as it wore the armor that matched the famous video game character who Harry respected for his power despite the fact Gannondorf was an evil wizard. "Master potter, it's nearly time."
"Thanks Gano." Harry said politely. As a kid saying Ganondorf was too long so he called him Gano instead.
"Of course sir." Gano smiled and it was time to go.
(Scene Skip)
Harry felt a bit guilty going with Sirius, but he had no choice since the world thought he was dead. "So you ready kid." Sirius smiled dressed in a simple dress shirt and top as they walked towards the teller.
"Yeah." Harry replied dressed in a set of dark blue robes that went all the way down his body above a crimson shirt with black jeans and some sneakers. He hated wizarding robes most of the time, but he endured for today.
The pink skinned goblin glared at them. "State your business."
"Harry Potter and I've got business with King Ragnok."
"Follow me." The goblin said politely, and they walked through the store. Harry noticed that quite a few people were staring at them, but Sirius was also a fairly interesting figure in his own right.
A few months after they went into hiding, Sirius made a public appearance to take control of House Black following an attempt by Lucius Malfoy to take control of the vast wealth of the family. He claimed that with Sirius kicked out and his other cousin Bellatrix incarcerated, the final of three black sisters, and his wife Narcissa, should be in control of the House. The goblins informed Sirius that he had the claim, so he not only appeared and claimed control of House Black but brought Andromeda and her family back in. Since then, Andromeda acted as the proxy for him and House Potter leaving Sirius to relax in style. According to Andromeda Dumbledore inquired about him on multiple occasions even reading her mind once just to be violently expelled. Andromeda attempted to have him arrested for doing so but in classic Dumbledore fashion it was dropped because he was also Chief warlock. Once he was old enough, he was to be taught Occlumency since they wanted to prevent Dumbledore from reading his mind when he eventually came to Hogwarts. Nym already knew the skill, needing it to control her abilities as a metamorphmagus. One of the benefits of Occlumency was organizing her mind which helped her deal with the various challenges that came with being able to transform her body pretty much at will.
Harry was brought from his musing when they arrived at the door, "King Ragnok is waiting." The goblin said politely before opening the door to Ragnok's office.
Harry and Sirius walked in to greet the Goblin King whose nearly 15-foot figure was quite imposing. "Hello there Harry. I take it today's the big day." Ragnok smiled with two boxes on his desk ready for the occasion.
"Yes sir. I'm here for the Potter and Black rings and to finally get rid of this bloody scar."
Ragnok smiled. "Of course. Now first your rings." Ragnok smiled before opening the first box to reveal the Potter heir ring. The crimson ring held a large emerald with a red dragon in the middle..
"Let's see how it fits." Harry smiled as he put on the ring and watched with a smile as it shrunk to fit his hand and then glowed as it connected to him.
"Perfect. And now for the black ring." Ragnok smiled handing him a ring with an obsidian diamond with the words Toujours pure surrounding the gem.
Harry took off the Potter ring before placing the Black ring on his finger and once again felt the magic glow, "Perfect." Harry smiled.
Ragnok beamed, "Now you're officially Heir Potter and Black."
"Yep." Harry smiled.
Ragnok thought about something for a moment and decided why not, "If you have a moment, there's one more ring I'd like you to try for me." Ragnok said calmly as he reached underneath his desk and pulled out a third box. Opening it, there was a gray ring that had a triangle with a red garnet in the middle.
Sirius frowned, "What ring is this."
"House Peverell." Ragnok revealed.
Sirius was in shock, "Wait. Are you talking about THAT House Peverell?"
"Yes."
"I'm confused. What's so important about House Peverell." Harry frowned.
"House Peverell is connected to a story called the Tale of the Three brothers. The brothers were blessed by Death herself and received three Items. The Death stick or the Elder wand, the Resurrection Stone, and the Cloak of Invisibility. If one were to obtain all three, they would become master of death." Ragnok smiled.
Sirius was confused how that connected before his eyes widened, "No bloody way. Are you saying that."
"Yes Lord Black. The Cloak that James Potter holds is that famous cloak. Didn't you find it strange that it's worked all this time even though it's been in your family since James was a boy."
"I never thought about that." Sirius admitted.
Harry frowned, "So because of that cloak, you think I'm the heir to this legendary house."
"No. I know you are. When I first checked you years ago, I confirmed that you were a potential heir. Now it's time to see if it's confirmed."
"What happens if I'm not." Harry asked nervously.
"If it's anything like your father you'll simply be knocked out. Considering we're going to knock you out anyway to remove your scar, it handles two tasks at once."
"Lovely" Harry deadpanned but he took off the black ring and reached for the third. Sirius and Ragnok watched as the ring took its place on Harry's finger. The glow that followed was fierce some and Harry was thrilled.
"My you are intriguing. So I guess you are now, Lord Peverell, Heir Potter and Heir Black."
"This is cool and all but, I can't wear three rings at once."
"Your magic will fuse the rings together and with a bit of practice you can wear all three as you please. You can even hide the rings from anybody else."
"Cool." Harry smiled as he took off the ring and gave it to Ragnok.
Ragnok put the final ring back in the box before handing all three to Sirius who couldn't be happier, "Now let's get rid of that scar." Sirius smiled.
'Sounds good." harry smiled.
"I'll take you over to our medical room. Meanwhile I'll work with Lord Black to take care of your new vault. You are about to be a very wealthy young man."
"Money later. Scar now.' Harry said eagerly. He was going to enjoy having all this money but first came the scar that he'd had since he was a kid. When he was originally brought from the Dursley's Ragnok scanned the scar to reveal that it was a Horcrux, a horrific piece of dark magic that by all right's should've killed him. With the Protection that Dumbledore put around the Dursley's destroyed. The ritual his mother used to kill Voldemort could be employed to protect him until such time that they could remove it entirely. They decided to wait until now because it was his first magical maturity.
"Of course." Ragnok smiled. He was certainly enjoying today and the young man in front of him had potential to change the world.
(Four years later)
The training room in Potter mansion was lit up as Harry stood across from his cousin Dora as they exchanged spell fire. "Not bad squirt. I'd like to think I'm pretty good but you're keeping up. CONFRINGO" Tonks shouted as she sent a blasting curse.
Harry smiled as he snapped his fingers and a shield popped up, "You're only good because you've been training against me all this time Nym." Harry smiled. With his scar gone and his first maturity over, it was time for Harry to learn about magic. Lily Sirius and James taught him everything they could from what they remembered from Hogwarts even using Nym's old books to help.
"True and you even know wandless, and they just started teaching us silent." Tonks pouted.
"In my defense, I kept breaking the practice wands." Harry chuckled as he snapped his fingers and sent a blasting curse his way.
"True. It's hard to believe you're not even a firstie yet." Tonks smiled.
'Stay focused Nym or you'll lose. Then again, I think you like the reward." Harry smiled before sending a stunner her way.
"Shut up." Nym blushed as she pointed her wand at the floor. FUMOS." Tonks shouted and smoke filled the room.
"You do realize this is actually better for me." Harry smiled as he snapped his fingers again, but Tonks didn't hear anything else.
"Are you so sure." Tonks smiled as she tried to focus on what Harry would do next just to freeze as he felt a finger on her neck and his right hand on her arse.
"Yes." Harry smiled from behind Tonks with his finger against her neck.
"Looks like I lose again." Tonks smiled as she relaxed for a moment.
Harry took the finger off Tonks neck and snapped it causing a burst of wind to destroy the smoke revealing Harry. "Yes you do. Now it's time for my reward." Harry smiled as he pulled his hand back off Tonks ass and placed it on her hips before spinning so they could face each other.
"Yep." Tonks smiled as she smashed her lips against his and they started snogging. Along with losing his scar, his first maturity also marked his first interest in the opposite sex and chief among them was his cousin who was currently sporting purple hair as she wore a leather jacket with a weird sisters t-shirt that barely contained her D cup breasts and blue jeans that hugged a shapely ass.
To his credit, he kept those feelings hidden and maintained a solid friendship until a year before. They had just finished celebrating her getting enough O.W.L's to pursue her dream of becoming an auror when she had a bit too much firewhisky and started venting to Harry. She complained about how guys only like her for her powers making her breasts, which were only C cups at the time even bigger to prove a point. After saying that she wished more guys were like him, he decided to be bold and even though his parents her parents and Sirius were watching, he planted a kiss on her lips and told her that if they didn't realize what an awesome chick she was, they didn't deserve her. Tonks blushed heavily before running up to her room and Harry frowned.
Things were awkward between the two from that moment until his birthday later that summer and the pair had a heart-to-heart conversation away from everyone. She told him that she was caught off guard and she was unsure of what to think since she thought of him as a little brother. He asked her what it would take to prove himself and she said with a smile that he needed to beat her in a duel. Considering he was just starting dueling training, it was perfect and it allowed them to bond without the awkwardness. Tonks was devious and knew that Harry's vast magic would prevent most wands from working for him and it worked meaning they just bonded over the summer.
When she came back for Yule, he beat her easily using his newly mastered wandless magic. They used the holiday to make up for lost time and nobody among their group could really complain since they knew the only reason they weren't snogging over the summer was because of the wand issue.
His musing was broken when Tonks pulled away leaving a trial of saliva in its wake. "Let's go see the others." Harry smiled.
"Right." Tonks replied and they left the room and went into the family room to find Sirius James and Ted smiling.
"So Harry did Tonks let you win so she could snog you or did she just lose outright." Sirius smiled.
"She let me win. She used smoke summoning even though I can silent and wandless cast." Harry smirked.
"Amateur mistake Nymphadora." James smiled.
"How many times have I told you guys not to call me that." Nym frowned.
"As many times as we've told you to take these duels seriously. Being an auror is serious stuff and it can end with you in serious danger." Ted frowned.
"It's not her fault Ted, it's our first duel since she got back from Hogwarts and Tonks always wants to snog because she misses me and uses any excuse she can get to do so." Harry smirked.
"Fair enough." Ted smiled.
"Somebody doesn't want the special present that I got him for Yule." Tonks huffed as her hair turned pink with embarrassment.
"Your hair betrays you as always Nym." Harry smiled before pecking her on the cheek.
"Whatever' Tonks smiled.
"You can shower first Tonks, I barely worked up a sweat kicking your arse."
"Prat" Tonks smiled before walking up to the showers with a sway in her hips, something Harry had no problem admiring.
"Remind me again why we haven't written a contract for Harry yet." Sirius teased both Ted and James,
"Because Tonks wants me to get to know other girls first. She just thinks that I like her because she's the only girl I've interacted with since I was a baby." Harry shrugged..
"What about the girls who have been messaging you since you were a kid." Sirius wondered.
"Well, those have been through letters only. Although… I did get a few pictures last year." Harry smiled.
"Any stand out." Sirius smirked.
"Yep. Susan Bones looks like she'll be a looker and the same with Daphne and Astoria Greengrass. One photo in particular definitely caught me off guard."
"Oh and who's that." Sirius wondered.
"Lyra Malfoy." Harry smiled causing Sirius and James to spit out their mouths.
"When did that start."
"A few months after I turned 9. Since she knows that her father would be furious if she sent me messages, she does it through Daphne. She's quite the looker actually if her photo is to be believed."
"And you didn't mention this why?" Sirius growled.
"To avoid this conversation. I get that you hate Lucius, but her daughter appears to be quite different from him." Harry replied. The fact she went behind her father was amazing.
Sirius sighed because that was hard to deny, "Just… just be careful pup."
Harry rolled his eyes, "I will. Now if you don't mind I'm going to play some video games." Harry smiled as he left them alone.
(Scene Skip)
Harry was all smiles as he relaxed in his room after one of the more interesting Christmas days he had in his time at Potter Mansion. Yule Holiday was always unique because Sirius and his dad competed to try and get him the best present. When he was six his dad got him a toy broom just for Sirius to get him a miniature version of his motorcycle. Mum was furious at Sirius, but when she saw him smile she gave in and allowed him to keep it as long as he only used it around the mansion.
This year, might have surpassed it because his dad and Sirius both played off his love of Quidditch, for their gift in very different ways. His dad got him to be a beta tester for the Nimbus 2000 racing broom. It would require him to leave the house. but Nimbus was supposedly about to revolutionize the broom industry forever. Sirius's present was a copy of the Holy Head Harpies swimsuit calendar. The Holyhead Harpies were his favorite team because he appreciated the fact that the team was only women and still was among the top teams in the league. Sirius pulled him away and hinted that the calendar would show its true value when he was alone, and Harry was looking forward to finding out exactly what that meant later. A knock on the door broke him from his thoughts. "Come in." Harry said calmly as he snapped his fingers to unlock the door. To his admitted shock, Nym walked in wearing a yellow night gown and her hair was distinctly pink which meant she was embarrassed for some reason.
"If it wasn't obvious already, the present I gave you earlier wasn't my real present." Nym said bashfully.
"I figured as much." Harry smiled. Nym's present was a pair of gloves that Harry could use to stay warm and according to the shop owner channel magic.
Tonks took a deep breath with her hair turning pink. "This is my real present." Tonks replied before undoing the night gown revealing that she was in a black bra that comfortably held her D Cup breasts and a black t-back.
Harry smiled before leaning up and moving to the edge of the bed, "I like this present way more but why the change. You've been very clear that we can only snog up until now." Harry replied.
Tonks blushed, "Because once again, I found the boys in Hogwarts lacking. Most of them are idiots who think they're hot stuff but are really hot air. None of them have passed you and I've given up on trying."
"I see." Harry smiled.
"Next year you're going to start Hogwarts and if those photos you get are any indication, you'll have plenty of girls interested in you."
Harry raised an eyebrow, "How do you know about my photos."
"Because my best friend Hestia and her sister are two of the people who send them to you. She confessed as much a few weeks ago." Tonks blushed.
"Ah." Harry smiled. Hestia Jones was Tonk's best friend at Hogwarts and fellow Puff. She was also the younger sister of Gwenog Jones, the captain of the Harpies his favorite team.
"So. I wanted to make sure that before these girls sink their claws into you, I make my move." Tonks replied.
"How far are we going to go." Harry wondered.
Tonks smiled, "We're not going to go all the way yet, that's for your birthday next year, but I'm going to do my best to make sure you don't forget me while I'm away at Hogwarts." Tonks smiled as she unclasped her bra. That night Harry and Tonks did nearly everything they could do without having actual sex and Harry would certainly make sure to remember his lovely cousin when she returned to Hogwarts.
