Chapter 1Late May 1993 – Chamber of Secrets

A stunned Harry Potter looked at the long basilisk fang sticking in his forearm, and the diary Fawkes dropped near him. He heard Tom Riddle rambling in the background as he jerked the fang from his arm. His face changed to contemptuous smile as he stabbed the diary and watched as Tom Marvolo Riddle screamed. He turned the diary over and stabbed it again just for fun.

Harry heard, "Harry James Potter what the bloody hell do you think you are doing charging in here with no back up. James was dumb to a fault but never this dumb. I believe it's time we have a long overdue talk son."

Harry looked up and saw an avatar seemingly more solid than Tom Riddle had been and said, "Mum?"

"Yes son it's me. Well, kind of anyway but that's a story for another time. And time is one thing I don't have a lot of, at least time here." She said picking up Harry's wand and sending a silent charm at Ginny. "I just put her to sleep, she doesn't need to hear what I have to say. Now get up off that cold floor and give your mother a hug."

Harry jumped up and gladly complied. Once the hug was complete, Lily conjured a sofa then started talking again.

"Harry, I don't know where your head is son, why are you friends with the Weasley git when all he's doing is holding you back. He's being paid ₲10 a month by Dumbledore to be your friend and spy on you. Every time, your true friend tries to help you he berates her and you take his side. What the hell are you thinking?"

Harry mumbled, "But Ron was my first friend and my best mate."

"It's a damn good thing Petunia will be dead when I see her again, or I would kill the bitch. Harry I'm telling you straight out, your meeting Ron was a setup think about it son. How many times did Molly Weasley board the train? How many times did she take Bill, Charlie, Percy, and the twins there before she took Ron? Why was she's shouting about Muggles and asking what the platform number is? Think Harry, God gave you a brain use it son."

"Well when you put it like that it sort of makes it look like a setup," Harry admitted softly while looking at the floor.

"Well son I hope you think a spy is worth ₲10 a month, because Dumbledore is taking it from your trust vault so you're paying Ron to spy on you. That it's just a trust vault is another thing Dumbledore is keeping you from finding out. He's also keeping information about us and that you should have our wills read. Now listen closely son because this is very important. When you get to Kings Cross station, you need to take the floo to Gringotts and see Master Ragnok our account manager. The floo address is G6, and Harry to exit the floo properly, prepare to exit when you feel your twirling motion slow down just before it stops. When it stops, wait a second then simply walk straight out otherwise you'll end up on your nose or ass."

"It's my nose Mum."

"This should have been done on your eleventh birthday. Harry you are Lord Potter, the 44th Earl of Potterland. Ragnok can tell you all you have, but I'll just say you have a large Manor that is much safer than Privet Drive. You may tell Ragnok we spoke, and that I want you looked at by a Goblin healer. The magical suppressor James put on your core should have been removed before you started school."

"Suppressor," Harry almost shouted as he winced.

"Harry you're a powerful wizard, and at six months old, James got tired of you floating him and turning him upside down. He was especially put out when Mooney and Padfoot laughed their asses off when you did it in front of them. He did think it was funny when you would levitate Peter and drop him in the trash though."

"Mum I remember Mooey and Paddy. Did I pee on Paddy's back while Dad held me so I could ride him?"

"Yes, and James said if he would bathe more often you wouldn't have to do it for him. Son there is a crystal on the podium in the main vault that will allow you to communicate with us. This is old Potter magic dating back before Hogwarts was founded. You'll be surprised who charmed it, but I'll let him tell you, or I'll never hear the end of it. One last thing before I go. Think long and hard why you spent so much time holding your best friends hand, and speaking to her while she's been petrified. I have to go now but remember what I said about the crystal and Hermione."

Harry's wand dropped in his lap as the couch disappeared, and he fell on his ass. Ginny woke up crying, and Harry reassured her everything would be all right. Harry retrieved the hat and sword so she never saw his jaw set as they left the chamber. His mother's words finally hit home, and Harry James Potter was one pissed-off wizard.

When they got to the rock fall, Harry levitated a few rocks out of the way, so he and Ginny could get through. Fawkes arrived and flashed them to Dumbledore's office where Harry told the story about Tom and asked for the diary after Lucy Malfoy showed his ugly face and ass. Harry tricked Malfoy into taking the diary and freed Dobby. Harry pushed Dobby aside, ducked the Killing Curse, and blasted Malfoy into a wall with a Reducto to his right shoulder and a quick flame curse to cauterize the wound.

Dumbledore arrived in all his glory with McGonagall and Arthur Weasley.

"Harry, what happened?'

"The bastard tried to kill me and I hit him with a Reducto, the first thing I thought of, and then used flames to cauterize his wound. We wouldn't want him to bleed to death would we? Isn't there a charm to check the last spell he used professor McGonagall?"

"Albus I suggest you call Amelia Bones while I check Malfoy's wand and send a patronus to Poppy Pomfrey."

Harry turned to Dobby and winked.

"Harry Potter sir is freeing Dobby. Then Harry Potter sir is saving Dobby's life. Can Dobby be bonding to Harry Potter sir?"

"Dobby I don't know what that means."

"If you accept the bonding it means you have an elf Mr. Potter." McGonagall informed him.

Harry shrugged and said, "If that's what you want, it's all right with me."

Harry was almost knocked to the floor when Dobby literally tackled him. Dobby told Harry what he needed to do and Harry bonded the excitable elf. He also decided no matter what he found out at Gringotts a week at Privet Drive just may be appropriate.

Madam Pomfrey arrived and looked at Malfoy and said, "He didn't lose enough blood to worry about. Madam Bones is on her way so she can revive the bastard. Is it true he sent a killing curse at Harry Potter?"

"Yes Poppy the last curse in the wand is a Killing Curse," McGonagall stated.

"All is normal at Hogwarts. Last year it was Quirrell trying to kill me. This year it was a great basilisk and Lucy here. I do believe it's time to cut my losses and find another school."

"Mr. Potter I'm sure your parents would not wish you to do that."

"Professor McGonagall, how the hell would I know what my parents might want? What I do know is that someone is trying to kill me here. Last year I asked Professor Dumbledore why Voldemort was after me, and got told effectively, I was too young to know. Well screw that. In addition, the one subject I seem to need most is sorely ineffective with the past two teachers. Quirrell and Lockfart come to mind. One contained Voldemort soul and the other cared more about looking pretty than defense. Of course, he did know how to wipe memories pretty well or at least well enough to wipe his own. Then there's the potions Professor 'the instructions are on the board begin' Snape that thinks teaching is done by berating students. I think I hear either the USA or Australia calling me."

"Mr. Potter as your magical guardian, I'll decide where you go to school not you." Dumbledore said.

"Whatever you think old man. I believe my guardians are the Dursleys because you left me on their doorstep. They hate magic and me, I'm sure I can convince them to let me go abroad. I overheard someone say my godfather, some guy named Sirius Black, betrayed my parents then killed a friend. In a word, bullshit, I checked the library on oaths required to be a godfather, if he betrayed us, he would have lost his magic and died then and there. It seems the basilisk venom broke something lose in my mind, that or Fawkes' tears, but if there was a traitor it was Peter. Even as a child I never liked that rat."

"Mr. Potter, I'm Amelia Bones head of the DMLE would you mind answering some questions in private about what you just said as well as what happened here."

"Do you mind telling me who you have with you?"

"Not at all, this is Alastor Moody, Kinglsey Shacklebolt, and Nymphadora Tonks all of which are Aurors."

"Ok, they can speed things up by talking to the portraits while we have our chat. As for finding somewhere private, that may be a problem here. I suspect the portraits report to the Headmaster and, or his Deputy."

"I'm afraid as his magical guardian I cannot allow this Amelia."

"Alastor if Dumbledore moves away from this spot arrest him for interfering with a criminal investigation. Better yet…" Madam Bones said as she stunned Dumbledore unexpectedly and had Tonks put magic suppressing shackles on him.

"Minerva is there any place private in this nuthouse, or do I need to take Mr. Potter to Hogsmeade?" The irritated witch asked.

"Use my quarters Amy, but I suggest you put up the appropriate charms just to be safe. Filius and I sweep our quarters on a weekly basis, and haven't found anything yet but one never knows."

"Thanks Minnie, come Mr. Potter"

"Its Harry Ma'am, Mr. Potter was my Dad," Harry stated with a smile.

They went to McGonagall private quarters and Madam Bones put up silencing charms and some others. After about ten minutes, she used the floo and took them to her office to use a pensieve and view Harry's memories. It took him about six tries to get his memories from his temple. After about an hour, she sent for the Minister.

"Minister Fudge this is Harry Potter and he has an interesting tale and some memories you should see."

Chapter 2

From Chapter 1: "Minister Fudge this is Harry Potter and he has an interesting tale and some memories you should see."

Ministry of Magic DMLE Director's Office

Minister Fudge came out of the pensieve ashen faced sputtering, "Amelia what the hell is going on?"

The angry witch replied. "Among other things it seems we have a grave miscarriage of justice Cornelius. I had my secretary check and Sirius Black never received a trial. I sent three Aurors to Azkaban to get him here. I think Veritaserum and a look at his memory of what happened is in order. Remember Minister this was not done by you but by Bagnold and Couch Sr. They made this mess and should take the fallout for it. I think your major problem will be Lucius Malfoy, so if we try him using Veritaserum we have a chance at getting the truth. The basilisk of course belongs to Mr. Potter since he defeated it. Severus Snape also needs tried, just like Malfoy. Dumbledore is the major problem since it seems Voldemort is not truly dead."

Harry jumped in, "Excuse me Ma'am its actual Tom Marvolo Riddle. Lord Voldemort is an anagram in French it translates roughly to flight from death. His mother was Merope Gaunt a descendant of Salazar Slytherin. A local squire's son name Tom Riddle was his father, so he's a half-blood like me that the Death Eaters followed."

Amelia Bones asked, "Harry how do you know all of this?"

Harry explained, "Well he liked to ramble on and on while I was trying to stay alive. He didn't think I was listening. He thinks very highly of himself. But one thing is for sure; he found a way to escape from death. If I hadn't stopped him before he managed to drain Ginny's life force, we would be dealing with a young Voldemort now. My question is, how the diary helped him, and if he has other such devices? If he does, where are they and can they be destroyed? That diary was cursed. Can a curse breaker defeat that? I've heard the Goblins use them when hunting for treasure in fact Ron Weasley's brother Bill is one. He works in Egypt now."

Amelia Bones turned to the minister saying, "Well Cornelius it's obvious we have a lot of work to do, and I need more people if Voldemort does come back. There is no way this isn't going to reach the public. If we do nothing and appear weak, it will cause a panic and a migration to safer places. We cannot allow a few to take over our world. Our people need to be trained to defend themselves and given the freedom to use whatever curses are necessary to do that. It's time to bite the wand and take the heat, then do what's right not easy."

"Minister is Dumbledore my magical guardian, if so who appointed him to that position. Is it in my parents wills or did he just make that up?" Harry asked respectfully.

Amelia interjected, "Minister you'll be busy I'll get that checked out for you. However, if the wills are sealed, I'll need the authority in writing to break the seals. Something isn't right about this whole mess, and I smell meddling at a high level here. I think it's time for me to get Mr. Potter back to school."

Fudge wrote out the authority Amelia requested and the two flooed back to McGonagall's office. They joined the others in the corridor where Malfoy still laid next to the wall. Harry watched Dumbledore and slid his wand in his hand as Dumbledore inched his hand toward his wand. As soon as Dumbledore touched his wand, everyone heard Harry shout, "Expelliarmus!" Dumbledore's wand sailed to Harry who grabbed it out of the air and Dumbledore was thrown into the wall behind him. Harry felt the wand warm to his touch and magic bind it to him. This magic felt different from anything he had ever felt before. It was almost as if the wand was now a part of him.

McGonagall yelled, "Mr. Potter why did you do that?"

Standing his ground Harry answered politely, "Well Professor Dumbledore was drawing his wand and had a look on his face that said he meant to harm someone. I've been almost killed twice today, and that's too many for me."

The old Auror replied, "Constant Vigilance is a good thing son. Who put those cuffs on Dumbledore? Does someone need retraining on the proper method?"

"Mad Eye Moody you were the one who cuffed Dumbledore." Tonks said.

"We all make mistakes Miss Tonks, mine was not stunning him first, and doing it properly, I hope we all learned from that."

"Come on Mad Eye, I'm having you on. I screwed up cuffing him and that won't happen again. He had already been stunned, are you slipping or getting senile?" Tonks replied.

"Madam Bones what happens with Malfoy's wand now?" Harry asked.

"Well after the trial it would normally go into our evidence locker Mr. Potter. Why do you ask?"

Harry explained, "Well I believe it belongs to me since I defeated him. I plan to keep the wands of those who try to harm me. I think they'll make a good display when I tell my children the stories of my life. If I live long enough to have children, being at Hogwarts seems detrimental to my life span."

"Mr. Potter, are you going to give the Headmaster's wand back?" the Deputy Headmistress asked.

"Sure, here take it," Harry said and handed the wand to McGonagall. The wand jumped from her hand and came back to Harry.

"I guess it likes me better than Professor Dumbledore."

Dumbledore grumbled but remarked, "Well Harry you seemed to have earned it. I won it from Grindlewald in the '40s and still have my original. I suggest you keep your original wand as well."

Ten more Aurors showed up with an order from the Minister to bring Dumbledore, Malfoy, and Snape to the Ministry for questioning. Snape drew his wand and Harry used his new one to disarm the Professor. The Expelliarmus sent Snape's wand to him and blasted Snape about thirty feet into the far wall.

"Cool, I believe I like this wand."

Amelia Bones smiled trying not to giggle. Mad Eye Moody laughed out loud then asked if Harry would like some special training. Harry said yes after a couple of weeks off.

After the others left, McGonagall asked, "Are you really thinking of not coming back to Hogwarts? You have friends here Harry."

"I have one friend here is all, I have another who pretended to be a friend but was paid to spy on me. I have a Head of House I can't fully trust, so why should I stay here?"

"Harry why don't you trust me?" McGonagall asked the affront showing in her voice.

"Well when we arrived our first year, you said our house was like our family away from home. Last year, I went to the head of my family about a problem and was effectively told to shut up and leave the problem to adults. You adults didn't handle it very well. Three first-year students managed to get through the so-called protection protecting the stone from a dark wizard. This year my one true friend gets petrified while figuring out what was petrifying students. Even with all the portraits that report to the Headmaster no one can figure out it's a basilisk, and the school remains open putting students in danger of being killed."

Harry took a breath then continued. "If this is family, I believe I'll start my own using different standards. Oh, where was my so-called family when everyone was calling me the heir of Slytherin. My true family is dead, and as far as I know I'm the last of the Potters, yet I know nothing of my heritage. What I do know, is that we have a dark dork that isn't dead but wants me dead. I mean really, Moldyshorts has been here each year that I have in one form or another. So tell me Professor, why should I stay here of all places? Besides, I believe my godfather will be released soon. I'm sure he will have something to say about where we go. I'm taking Hermione with me if she agrees and her family approves. Now I need to check on my only friend."

Minerva's only thought was Albus what have you done. I told you placing the boy there with those horrible people was not the right thing to do. The lads' right we have all failed him. He doesn't trust very well and I have a feeling those who lose that trust will have a hard time getting it back.

Harry went to the hospital wing and sat holding Hermione's hand telling her all that happened. Madam Pomfrey had told him several times Hermione couldn't hear him but he didn't believe her. It also made him feel better to share his life with Hermione. Ron would soon find out no one betrays a Potter's trust and gets by with it.

"Mr. Potter the potion will be ready in the morning it just needs to settle over night. It's almost curfew, come back at 07:00 and I'll let you give her the potion."

"Thanks Madam Pomfrey, I'll see you in the morning."

Harry went back to the Common Room and ran into the people he least wanted to see.

Molly Weasley started for him saying, "Oh, Harry we owe you so much for saving Ginny." She tried to hug him but he sidestepped and ducked under her left arm.

"I don't need a cracked rib to add to my other injuries. No Weasley owes me anything except Ron the spy. I believe he owes me around ₲250 but I'll get the correct amount later. Well that's not totally true the twins may have a certain heirloom of mine. Something from the Marauders, my father was Prongs and my godfather is Padfoot." Harry stated in a flat tone.

The twins faces went white as Harry continued, "I'll do this the easy way." He pulled his new wand and said, "Accio anything that belonged to the Marauders." A folded piece of parchment sailed down from the boy's dorm.

Harry tapped his wand on the parchment and said, "Reveal yourself to the son of Prongs."

Mr. Prongs says, it's about bloody time we heard from you, son.

Mr. Padfoot says, Prongslet let the games begin.

Mr. Mooney says, welcome to mayhem. But you need a Marauder name and Scar is not a good one.

Mr. Wormtail says, he concurs with the others.

Ms. Tiger Lily says he who studies hard does better pranks than the jerks that had the map recently.

"I'll talk to you lot later, mischief managed."

"What's this rubbish about Ron owing you money?"

"Well Mr. Perfect Percy, your brother has been getting ₲10 per month from Dumbledore to spy on me. The problem is that it came from my trust vault and I don't pay traitors. Funny how things were setup, or rather how I was setup. Tell me Mrs. Weasley how many times have you been to the Hogwarts Express?"

"Obviously several, Mr. Potter."

"Yet in my first year you're going on about Muggles, and asking what the platform number is, why?"

When he got no answer Harry continued, "My theory is you were doing what Dumbledore asked so I would make friends with Ron. I believe Ron had two missions the first one was the spying, and second was to keep me distracted so I didn't learn what I needed to know. There may have been a third, to keep me from getting close to Hermione. Well that didn't work so well. I do appreciate you rescuing me so I believe me saving Ginny makes us square except for what's between Ron and me." Harry paused gathering his thoughts.

"Fred and George think they're great pranksters and I can see the wheels turning figuring out how to get back at me. Boys, I suggest you consider the day I just had. I killed a huge basilisk well over 50 feet long. I blasted Lucy Malfoy into a wall taking his wand arm at the shoulder. I spent hours with the Director of the DMLE and the Minister. When I came back, I disarmed Dumbledore knocking him into a wall. A bit later, I blasted Snape about thirty feet, taking his wand. I will admit the Snape thing was with my new wand, which happens to have been Dumbledore's before. Fuck with Hermione or me at your own peril. That isn't a threat it's a promise of retribution including annihilation. As far as I'm concerned, you two are nothing but bullies and I have years dealing with that type of person. Why don't you prank your year or above? I think it is because you are nothing more than cowards. Mess with Hermione or me and you'll find yourselves naked singing God Save the Queen while standing on the head table during a feast and that will be the least of your worries."

"George, I think little Harrykins has declared a prank war."

"I believe you're right brother of mine, let the games begin."

Professor McGonagall appeared and said, "And I think you two will be expelled so fast it will make your heads swim. Mr. Potter the Minister requests your and Ms. Granger's presence in his office at 13:00 tomorrow. Mr. Percy Weasley since you cannot control your younger brothers you are stripped of your prefect badge and placed on probation along with them. Messer's Fred and George Weasley you are hereby grounded from flying. You two may go to classes, the library, and your dorm room until your grades improve at which time I'll reconsider this action. Mr. Ronald Weasley your grades aren't good enough to continue into third year so you will repeat second year. Are there any questions?"

When there was none, she told the adult Weasleys they needed to go home.

"Fred and George I've had the house elves remove all your so called pranking items. These will be sent to the Department of Mysteries if anything harmful is found you will be expelled and your wands snapped. The Marauders were pranksters, but except for followers of the dark lord, they never harmed or embarrassed anyone. Mr. Potter please return to the hospital wing, Mr. Filtch will escort you there. I believe he has something to thank you for. Ginny you should be in bed it's been a rough day on you. I cannot believe your mother took you from the hospital wing."

She waited until Ginny left then rounded on the Weasley boys again. "You four are a disgrace to Gryffindor. That changes tonight, or so help me you four will be out of this school forever. Do you understand me?"

She received "yes Ma'am" from the four boys and then sent them to bed.

In their dorm, George said, "you know Fred, McGonagall may have just saved us a lot of pain or worse. If Harry did kill a basilisk, and there is no reason not to believe that, plus defeat Dumbledore, Malfoy, and Snape he's a force to be reckoned with."

"I'm sure we'll find out more tomorrow at least by dinner. But I do believe you're right brother. At least we didn't have anything dangerous in our stuff. I have the feeling Ronniekins isn't the only one that will be repeating a year. We sure can't blame that on Harry."

"Do you really think Ron took money to spy on Harry?"

"As jealous as he is, I don't doubt it for a second George. Good night."

"Good night."

In the hospital wing Harry changed into pajamas brought by Dobby then moved the bed next to Hermione's and held her hand as he fell asleep. It had been a long tiring day. Madam Pomfrey looked at them and smiled. She would need to raise the bet on when they got together, thinking it would definitely be early tomorrow.

The next morning Harry finished giving Hermione the last of the Mandrake potion and sat at her bedside. He could feel her hand and arm starting to relax. Five minutes or so later, her eyes opened staring at the most beautiful green eyes she had ever seen.

"Hermione take it easy now, I'm here and you'll be just fine." Harry said leaning toward her and kissing her on the lips. Her free arm came around his neck and she returned the kiss.

Once their lips parted she heard, "Hermione will you be my girlfriend. I know we're a bit young but I would like more of those kisses, a lot more."

"Yes, Harry James Potter I'll be your girlfriend. I want more of your kisses too."

Unseen by the pair Madam Pomfrey did thumbs up. She didn't know how much she just won but it would not be small change by anyone's standard.

"Mr. Potter if you'll let Ms. Granger get dressed I do believe she will find herself quite hungry. You may eat here in a private room or go to the Great Hall the choice is yours."

"Hermione, do you want to wear what you have on or something else?" Harry asked.

"Actually I think I'd like jeans and a sweatshirt. But I'll have to go to the dorm to get those."

"Dobby."

"How can Dobby being helping the great Harry Potter sir."

"Dobby, please get the clothes Hermione wants from her dorm can you do that?"

"Dobby can being doing that Harry Potter sir."

With a pop the elf was gone and with another he was back in less than a minute. Harry and Hermione decided to eat in the hospital wing so Dobby served them their first meal as a couple. Hermione asked Dobby a lot of questions about house elves. The one that stumped Dobby was how she could help the elves. While not liking it, she saw that they needed bonding with a wizard or witch to keep their magic and life. The problem was in how some were treated. Harry wasn't at all surprised when Hermione told him she heard every word he said and it helped her keep her sanity. Madam Pomfrey was shocked at that revelation and told Harry how glad she was he didn't listen to her and continued his visits.

Hermione's next statement floored the healer, "Why is Harry still malnourished, and has the scars to show how his so-called relatives treated him? Don't healers in the wizard world take an oath to do the best for their patients? Doctors in the Muggle world must take what is called the Hippocratic Oath. That oath says they will do their best but do no harm. Harry I believe you're right about getting out of this nuthouse as soon as possible. My parents are dentist and had to swear that oath so I'm very familiar with it. Come on we need to see McGonagall, you can't be going to the Ministry dressed in rags handed down from your tub of lard cousin."

Madam Pomfrey was shocked then started through her memories of meeting with Harry and tending him. She flooed to St. Mungos and asked to see a mind healer. Little did she know the proverbial shit was about to hit the fan.

Chapter 3From the end of chapter 2: Madam Pomfrey was shocked then started through her memories of meeting with Harry and tending him. She flooed to St. Mungos and asked to see a mind healer. Little did she know the proverbial shit was about to hit the fan.

St. Mungo's

The Director of the Mind Healer Department said, "Poppy you weren't obliviated but your memories of certain treatments and questions you asked were packaged to prevent your access to them."

"Ralph, can you tell me who did this?"

"It's Dumbledore's magical signature Poppy."

"I hope you're able to defend that in court. I'm going after that old bastard, I wonder who else he did that or worse to. May I use your floo?"

"I can easily defend my statements and certainly you may use the floo."

Poppy Pomfrey flooed to Amelia Bones' office and was one pissed off woman.

Hogwarts

Harry and Hermione knocked on McGonagall's door and were told to enter and Hermione explained the problem. McGonagall took the young couple to Glad Rags in Hogsmeade. Harry had to call Dobby to get his money pouch. Since the pouch seemed to never run out of money, he would have to ask about that at Gringotts. Dressed in new clothes with an extra set they left for Hogwarts.

"Harry, Hermione may I ask if you are a couple? It seems the only time you're not holding hands is when Harry is changing clothes."

"Well I asked Hermione to be my girlfriend, and she said yes. I guess that makes us a couple if her father doesn't kill me for doing it without asking him first."

"Harry boys don't ask the girl's father for permission anymore."

"Well Hermione they should, it's the honorable thing to do after all. But under our circumstances hopefully he will forgive me."

"Well I'm sure you will get the macho talk all fathers give the daughters suitors." Hermione said then giggled. Hermione never giggled, this couldn't be good. Harry gulped, Hermione giggled again, and Minerva smiled at their antics.

Just before they entered the Great Hall, Auror Tonks showed up and said, "Wotcher Harry. Madam Bones sent me to fetch you three early. It seems something has come up this morning, that she is less than happy about. I'm not sure what it is but if she wants me to know, she'll tell me. May we use your floo Minerva? Hermione the address is Madam Bones' office today. Remember Harry just walk out of the thing when you stop, you're less likely to trip that way. Of the four arriving in the office, Tonks tripped not Harry. McGonagall and Madam Pomfrey were waiting for them. One glance at Madam Pomfrey and everyone knew she was pissed off.

A pissed Amelia Bones stated, "Please sit this may take awhile. Tonks you may stay, you have a new duty, and that is to guard these two young ones until I personally tell you different."

"Yes Ma'am," The two preteens replied.

Madam Bones continued, "Poppy, please retell your story or place a copy of the memory in the pensieve, your choice."

Madam Pomfrey used the pensieve. McGonagall was furious when she came back out. "I guess the rest of us had better get checked out also. I cannot believe that Dumbledore would stoop so low as to do this to a healer no less. Knowing him for the last 40 plus years, he must have some grand plan. But nothing gives him the right to mess with people's memory and livelihood there are laws to be followed. As Chief Warlock, he must know the law. Poppy I'm sure you were checked for compulsion and loyalty charms as well."

"Crap, Minerva I hadn't thought about that."

The head of the DMLE interjected, "I'll send for Croaker, he's the Director of the Department of Mysteries. He's the best there is. It's said if Albus fears anyone it's him."

She sent a patronus off and Harry and Hermione watched a silver Jaguar leave the room.

Harry's flew open and he confessed, "Cool, I want to learn that one."

"Harry its above NEWT level it requires a strong pleasant memory and incantation Expecto Patronum. There is no wand movement necessary, it's based on the memory and the feeling the memory gives you." McGonagall said.

Harry thought a bit, then smiled remembering kissing Hermione and talking to his Mum. He pulled his new wand and thought Expecto Patronum. A huge almost solid stag appeared and trotted around the room as if looking for danger.

"Prongs?" Harry said and stag came to him and nuzzled his neck then disappeared. "That felt warm and pleasant."

"Harry if you gave it a short message and said who it was for the stag would find them and deliver the message. The only problem is that anyone can hear what you passed as a message." Amelia Bones said.

"Harry, are you tired? That bit of charm work takes a lot of magic. That's one reason it isn't taught until seventh year. That and few wizards can produce a patronus."

"Thanks Tonks, but I'm fine and not tired at all. I do have one question, how are we going to get the truth out of Dumbledore?"

"Well Mr. Potter that's my job. I'm called Croaker and I'm head of the Department of Mysteries. Dumbledore will tell us what we want to know and it will be the truth. The question is what do we want the public to know without starting a panic? But those are questions we can answer later. Madam Bones what do you need?"

Croaker was livid after they explained what was going on and seeing Harry and Poppy's memories. He found several compulsion and loyalty charms on McGonagall and Madam Pomfrey. He found some stronger ones on Harry plus tracking charms. What pissed Harry the most was when Croaker asked Hermione who Ron was and what her relationship was with him.

"You had a mild compulsion charm that would grow stronger as you aged. Eventually it would be so strong you would think you loved Mr. Weasley. Apparently, your feelings for Mr. Potter have all but stopped that for the time being. Mr. Potter has a similar charm but tied to a Ginevra Weasley but his feelings for you are strong enough to override it for now." Croaker said in a monotone voice not showing his irritation.

"Hermione can I kill the old bastard now or should I wait awhile?" Harry said with flashing eyes that turned Avada Kedavra green.

"Wait Harry at least until we can sort this out and find out more from him. Then I'll help you I promise, he has a lot to answer for." She replied and grabbed his hand.

"Yes dear."

That caused the ladies to burst out laughing. Tonks said, "Hermione he may have said the words but I'm not sure he's all that sincere. I believe his desire to make Dumbledore pay for what he did to you may override his words."

"I can live with that," Hermione replied looking at Harry she added, "this time."

The group devised a plan of action and decided McGonagall would take Harry to Gringotts. Poppy took Hermione home to show her parents she was all right and explain what happened.

Gringotts 

When McGonagall and Harry arrived at the bank, it was almost empty. Harry saw Griphook and headed for his station.

"Good morning Griphook, I'm Harry Potter and I need to see my account manager please."

The other tellers were shocked at the way Harry addressed the Goblin. It didn't take long for the word to spread that Harry treated Griphook as an equal. Griphook escorted Harry and McGonagall to Ragnok's office.

"Madam McGonagall I thank you for bringing the young Lord Potter here but I am sorry you must leave now. Either Lord Potter will be escorted to school by Goblin guards or you will be requested to return to the bank. This meeting may take quite some time since it should have been done two years ago. Rest assured we will find out why it has taken young Harry this long to arrive in my office."

McGonagall didn't like it but had no choice except to leave. She had the sickening feeling Albus had screwed up again. She was getting concerned that the Headmaster would not live to see the end of the term.

"Now Lord Potter I believe you may have a message for me."

"Yes sir, Mum said I need to see a Goblin healer first, and then I need my parents wills read and enacted. I also need to get something from the main vault. I suppose sometime soon I should make out a will. And sir please call me Harry, Mr. Potter is my father or grandfather."

"Harry, do you know what a time chamber is?"

"No, sir"

"It's Ragnok, Harry. We have a chamber that twenty-four hours inside is six minutes outside. That means an hour in my office is ten days in the chamber. Our best healing team will meet us there with our best curse breakers just in case. I detect something wrong with your scar but don't know what it is."

"Ragnok, yesterday I destroyed an item that contained a part of Voldemort's soul. Could my scar be something like that?"

"It's possible but unlikely, why would you think that Harry?"

"I'm a parselmouth which is a Slytherin trait from what I'm told. Tom Riddle or Voldemort was a parselmouth and the last descendant of Slytherin."

"What do you know about this diary?"

"Well it was planted on Ginny Weasley by Lucius Malfoy. When she wrote in what she thought was a blank diary with the initials T.M.R. on the cover it wrote back to her. Eventually he possessed her and caused her to open the Chamber of Secrets. If you have a pensieve the rest is easier to see than explain."

"Actually we use crystals, just place this on your forehead and think of the memory."

Harry did as Ragnok asked and the Goblin projected the memory.

"Harry, while you're with the healers would you mind if I show this to the council. I'm the leader of the Goblin Nation but this is something that affects all Goblins. I estimate the basilisk to be at least 20 meters long. When rendered, it will be worth millions. We will work out the fees for rendering it later."

"I trust you Ragnok you're one of only two people I can say that about, although I am getting to trust Madam Bones more every day."

"Thank you Lord Potter. Now let's get you to the healers so we may continue our business."

It took six chamber days for the Goblin healers and curse breakers to do their work. Harry was a horcrux, but a weak one. The head curse breaker explained that Voldemort must have made several horcruxes, possibly as many as seven. The problem with that was the first split was one-half a soul, the second was one-quarter, and the third one-eighth. The curse breakers felt that Harry contained perhaps 1/128 or 1/256th of Voldemort's soul and Voldemort possessed the same. If they were right, Voldemort could not possess a strong wizard or one with a strong will.

"Harry we have a method of tracking or tracing these abominations down and it is in our best interest to do this," the chief curse breaker said.

Harry left the chamber four inches taller and 25 pounds heavier. He no longer needed glasses and he had no scars except where the basilisk fang stabbed him and a very thin one on his forehead. Harry's magic had been unbound and he felt great and smiled as he entered Ragnok's office.

"Good afternoon Harry, this is Mr. Ted Tonks. Mr. Tonks was your father's solicitor and friend."

"Are you any relation to Nymphadora Tonks sir?"

"Yes Mr. Potter I'm her father. Does she allow you to call her Nymphadora?"

"I don't remember trying that, I usually call her Auror Tonks or Tonks, and its Harry sir."

"Well she hates her first name and usually hexes anyone calling her Nymphadora or any derivation of that, and you may call me Ted."

"Harry we sent a Goblin team to the chamber and measured the beast. It's slightly longer than 22 meters or 72 feet long. The Goblin Nation is prepared to offer you ₲10 million for it as it is now."

"Harry based on what I saw I believe this to be fair to both you and Gringotts."

"Ragnok I accept you generous offer. Please take ₲10,000 from my share for Mr. Filtch. Then I want the rest distributed with 50 percent to me, ten percent to Moaning Myrtle's family and Ginevra Molly Weasley. What goes to Ms. Weasley, I want tied up so her family can't get at it until she is at least 30. Colin Creevey, Justin Finch-Finley, and Penelope Clearwater each get 5 percent. Ms. Hermione Jean Granger is to get 15 percent, without her help, we could all be dead. If Ron Weasley bitches about this, and he will, he can sue Lockhart besides getting in the way all he managed to do is lose his wand. That could have been a disaster if it hadn't been broken and taped together. But that was Ron's fault also so I don't feel I owe him a damn thing, although I will forgive the money he owes me from his spying."

"What?" Ragnok and Ted Tonks asked, so Harry had to tell that story, which led to a full audit of all Potter vaults and properties since 1 August 1980. Ragnok suggested Harry take an heir test since his mother had not done so. The only thing that surprised Ragnok was that Lily was descended from Rowena Ravenclaw and since that was not a maternal line Harry was the current heir and a pureblood. Harry was surprised to find out he was the blood heir of Godric Gryffindor and since he conquered Voldemort, he was the magical heir of Salazar Slytherin. Harry received the three rings that were available. The Slytherin ring was supposedly lost.

"Ragnok, Marvolo Gaunt was Tom Riddle maternal grandfather and was probably the heir of Slytherin before Riddle took his place. The only thing I've been able to find out about him was both the Gaunts and Riddles lived in a place named Little Hangleton. I would bet half my share of the basilisk Dumbledore knows a lot more about Riddle than he's sharing."

"Harry, I've told Madam Bones I want to be there when he's questioned and she agreed."

"Thanks Ted, now what?"

The Potter wills and a piece of blank parchment

The wills were straightforward until the part about who should take custody of Harry. The people were listed in order.

Sirius Orion Black – Godfather

Alice Faye Longbottom – Godmother

Amelia Susan Bones – Friend

Minerva Sadie McGonagall – Friend

Andromeda Sarah Tonks – Friend

Poppy Pomfrey – Friend

Croaker – Friend

Under no circumstances is Harry to be placed with Petunia Dursley and her bastard husband!

"Well, Lord Potter-Gryffindor-Ravenclaw-Slytherin it would seem to me you now also own one Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore or at least his vaults and properties," Ted said.

"What I don't understand Ted is why did both envelopes have a piece of blank parchment in them?" Ragnok wondered out loud.

"Ragnok may I use my wand to try something?"

"All right Lord Potter you may."

Harry laid the blank parchment on his lap, and tapped it with his wand and said, "The son of Prongs solemnly swears he is up to no good."

Prongs accepts his son is up to no good.

Dear Harry,

If you're reading this, the worst has happened and you survived. Son many may believe Sirius was our secret keeper but that was a diversion. First because of his godfather's vow, he could not betray us without losing his magic and life. The real secret keeper was Peter Pettigrew the damn rat. By that, I mean he is a rat animagus. Sirius or Remus will be able to identify him. Harry stay away from the Dursleys. I know they're your only remaining family but they both hate magic and anyone connected to it. However, ask Ragnok about some stock in a company named Grunnings Drill Company, Ltd.

When you go to our main vault be sure to take the crystal and letter from the podium. Then stand with your back to the podium and place your hand on the rear wall. A door will appear. Only Potters and their wives or children can enter this room. A letter will explain what you need to do. I'll not spoil the surprise I will say you'll find it amazing I certainly did.

If you're reading this first there is no need to read your mother's at this time since they are the same.

We love you son,

James Charles Potter – Prongs

Lily Marie Potter – Lily Flower

28 October 1981

"Ragnok there is no need to tell me about Grunnings, Vernon Dursley was sure I knew about it and how important his job is there. We will see later just how right he is that the place would fail without him. I need to go to the main vault please. I'll also need some money including Pounds. Ted, who is my magical guardian?"

"Lord Potter you don't have one now since you're emancipated and are legally an adult. Of course, you now have adult responsibilities, but you also have good advisors. Ragnok, I would like certified copies of both wills and the letter, although the last part of the letter may not appear on the copy. James and or Lil's probably secured that part. Harry with your permission Madam Bones, Minerva, and Croaker need to see these wills."

"All right Ted you know what needs done. Ragnok please see Ted is paid promptly, something tells me he will have a lot of work from me."

"That's part of what I do Harry, now let's you and I go visit a couple of vaults, I have an idea you may like."

Ted got his copies and went to the Ministry while Harry and Ragnok got in a special cart and headed into the lowest level of Gringotts. Ragnok showed Harry where to place his hand on the vault door saying he couldn't enter the vault except to do an inventory once per year.

Harry went straight to the podium and picked up a small crystal and letter. In his head he heard, hello son, now turn and face the rear wall. You'll see a slight depression place your wand hand in it. When the door opens go sit on the center chair if there is more than one.

Harry sat on the only chair and found his mind flooded with the history of the Potters as well as Charms, Transfiguration, Runes, Arithmancy, Potions, Herbology, and Care of Magical Creatures. Last, he got a lesson in battle magic from an ancient wizard.

Harry heard the voice again, I hope you found that as exhilarating as I did son. The last teacher was Merlin. The others were the founders, if you got potions it was from Salazar Slytherin. Remember son only a Potter can do this, but that will include your wife when you marry. We Potters have a long history of marrying the brightest witch of our age as they seem to attract us somehow. Just don't be a git like I was, and put her off of you for years. The next time you hold the crystal it will be your mother speaking to you. We love you son.

"Ragnok, Dad was right that was quite exhilarating and informative. Would you share your idea now?"

"If I'm right about the next vault you may be able to strike a blow to the Death Eaters that they can't recover from. This will make it even harder for Tom Riddle if he is able to return."

"I like that idea, let's see if you're right."

Chapter 4The Granger Residence

Poppy and Hermione appeared in the back garden. Hermione led the healer into the kitchen to find her parents sitting down to lunch.

"Kitten what are you doing home?"

"Mum, Dad this is Madam Pomfrey, our school healer. Before you get excited I'm fine. Madam Pomfrey these are my parents Daniel and Emma Granger."

"Hermione out with it, there is a reason you're here and not in school."

"Mum due to an accident at school I spent the last six weeks petrified while a potion was being brewed to cure us. The prime ingredient had to mature before the potion could be brewed."

"What the hell petrified you Hermione?"

"It was a basilisk Dad, a huge one."

"Mr. Granger if I may say, the beast has been destroyed, and all students have recovered."

"I find myself wondering if that place is a school or a nuthouse. Two years in a row my daughter has been in danger while we get letters saying in effect there had been a small incident. I sure there are other schools of magic you can attend Hermione."

"Daaaad!"

"Don't Dad me young lady."

"Well then I won't tell you about my boyfriend Dad."

"You have a boyfriend, please don't say he has red hair and eats like a hog."

"No he's quiet and has black messy hair and the most beautiful green eyes ever."

"Ah, the one that dresses from the rag bin."

"Dad stop it or I'll leave now."

"Mr. Granger let me tell you something about that young man. He lives with his Aunt and Uncle and wears hand me down from his pig of a cousin. He will one day be Lord Harry James Potter an Earl in our world and most probably a Duke in yours. His lineage goes back to one of the founders of Hogwarts. This boy, just recently killed the basilisk to save a friend's sister. He has defeated the most powerful dark lord in centuries not once but at least three times that we know of. He just defeated three fully qualified powerful wizards one of them supposedly the most powerful since Merlin." Poppy paused to take a breath.

"That boy spent hours every day keeping your daughter up to date on what was going on in classes and around the school. If I told him once she couldn't hear him, I told him at least 50 times. Well I was wrong, she did hear him and said he is the reason she didn't lose her sanity. When he told her about killing the basilisk his words were 'no one hurts my Hermione without paying the price'." Poppy conjured a glass of water and took a sip.

"I knew his father well, and anyone who messed with James or his friends paid the price at least ten fold. The problem you have is that Hermione is Muggle born and has no rights in our world unless she is betrothed to a pureblood or under the protection of a Nobel house. Her magical guardian says where she can go to school. The one thing the guardian cannot do is to arrange a marriage without your permission. Oh, another thing that boy did, was to save your daughter last year. You sir need to look past his clothes, which by the way now fit and are new since he had an appointment with the Minister and the head of Gringotts."

With tears streaming down her cheeks, Hermione cried, "Madam Pomfrey, please take me back to school before I say something we will all regret."

Poppy took Hermione's hand and turned. With a loud crack, the two witches disappeared.

Dan Granger sat with his mouth open. Then he heard, "Well you sure showed your ass this time and probably lost your daughter. I might let you back in our bed in a year or two but right now, I can't stand to look at you, so go find a place to eat and go back to work. I'll stay home and try to figure out how to save my own ass with my daughter, but Daniel Granger you are on your own and will get no help from me."

"But…"

"But nothing, you put your foot firmly in your mouth again. Anything you do now is going to look like you're doing it because you found out that boy has money and power. Is that what the snobs at that golf club are teaching you? If so, you learned well and where did it get you. While you're at work, I'll move your clothes into the spare bedroom. Unless you want to cook tonight, eat out because that's what I'm going to be doing for awhile."

"I didn't mean it the way it sounded Emma."

"Bullshit your body language said more than your words, and that woman is a healer dealing with hundreds of kids and teenagers. She damn sure pegged you in a hurry. Apparently, that boy is not only politically powerful but magically as well. I've read about this Dumbledore and he defeated the prior dark lord that advised Hitler. Yet this not quite 13 year old just recently beat him, what's this young man going to be like in two years or when he turns seventeen. Who knows how powerful the other two were that Madam Pomfrey was talking about." Emma said then went up to their bedroom and Dan heard the door close and lock.

Over lunch Dan Granger reviewed what had gone on in his head, and admitted he came off as a snob that only cared about what the boy dressed like. He also remembered how that boy had treated his daughter with nothing but respect while the red head acted like an ass always arguing with Hermione. When Dan got to his office, he sat down and wrote a letter to his daughter.

Gringotts – Voldemort's vault

Harry and Ragnok entered Harry's new vault and it was full of Galleons. Harry noticed a podium and wondered if all the old families had them.

"Harry, look at this and tell me if you can read it please."

Harry saw a bunch of squiggly lines that morphed into words. "It must be in Parseltongue, but I can read it now. It's a list of names and amounts due by month. The bottom says the amounts carry over and will all come due when requested by the holder of the parchment."

"How many names are there?"

"Look to be about forty or so Ragnok."

"Can you call them individually?"

"I'll try. Lucius Malfoy your tithe is due, pay it now."

Stacks of Galleons appeared and a note appeared on the parchment.

"Ragnok it says Lucius still owes ₲3,820,000 plus interest."

"Harry give me time get some trunks in here to store the gold by the names." Ragnok said then left the vault. He reappeared minutes later with two Goblins and Harry guessed they had over 50 trunks with them.

Harry read each name and as the gold appeared, it was put into trunks. Harry found out later the trunks were bottomless. There were 46 names on the trunks and on the list for Madam Bones. All 46 Death Eaters owed Harry money, big money. The Goblins locked down the Death Eaters vaults to inventory, and possibly sell anything of value. They also packed the original gold that was in the vault into trunks. Harry guessed there were nearly 50 trunks full of gold. He now had a lot more to think about namely what to do with this money. Ragnok had the trunks moved to a new vault.

Back in Ragnok's office, Harry asked, "What do I do with all of this? I don't trust Fudge and therefore, most of the Ministry. I think that at least some of it should go to the families devastated by the last war, but how do I make that fair. Gringotts should at least get a finder's fee. I already have much more than anyone can spend I sure don't need more."

"Harry there will be an uproar like never heard before if you don't take part of that money. It's because of you that it's available to distribute and do some good with. There are numerous orphans, I'm sure that could use your help to make their lot easier. Gringotts will take two percent for a finder's fee if you wish, but no more than that. For now, let's keep this between us and maybe Ted Tonks. I find it funny these so-called bright wizards entered into an agreement whereby they not only had to pay back tithing but interest on those not sought for collection, and interest at that. Of course, go after any off shore and Muggle accounts first, then what is in their vaults and last we go after their fancy Manors."

Harry sniggered, "I sure would like to see Draco Malfoy's face when he finds out he's broke. Molly Weasley will find a windfall since she lost her brothers. Arthur I'm not sure about, as I know nothing of his family. At least, this should keep their greedy little fingers off Ginny's windfall. Ron will mess his pants when he finds out I'm emancipated and a lord to boot."

"Three Lord titles Harry, all Earldoms in the wizard world. Plus in the Muggle world, the Potters are Dukes. Peerage wise you are at the same level as Prince Charles. Of course, only the Royal Family members are titled Prince or Princess. But Charles is the Duke of Wales, Andrew is the Duke of York, and you are the Duke of Wight. To friends none of this will matter, and to others who cares. One thing I do want you to know is that you own 68 percent of the Daily Prophet and 12 percent of Gringotts. You are the only non-Goblin to own part of this bank. Now I believe you need new clothes then to go see your lovely Ms. Granger."

Ragnok sent a message to Amelia Bones while Harry went to Madam Malkin's and Glad Rags for new robes and Muggle clothes. He stopped by Ollivanders and bought ten wand holsters the Auror quick draw type. That's where he ran into Tonks.

"Watcher, Harry."

"Hello Tonks, come to escort the wayward child back to school?"

"Harry Potter, I was there when you beat Dumbledore and Snape, and I saw what you did to Malfoy so don't give me that bull."

"Did you see your Dad? We had an interesting conversation about your first name. He said I should call you Nymphy. But I told him I didn't know well enough so he suggested Nymphadora instead."

"You're trying to bullshit a bullshitter and that's two Harry James Potter."

"Tonksie, why do women always use a man's middle name when they're pissed at them?"

"To indicate nicely we're pissed and they need to back off or be neutered."

"Somehow I expected that answer since I know when I've teed off Hermione she calls me Harry James Potter. Then it's the knuckles on the hips and the dreaded look that says man you are so dead." Harry replied with a laugh.

"Those are all good things for young bucks to learn early in life, it saves the woman a whole lot of trouble teaching that later."

"Tonks I need you to teach me to apparate."

"Harry you're too young you must be an adult to learn. Your magic is probably powerful enough but there are laws about apparation."

"What if I was emancipated?"

"Well then it would be legal."

"Good you can teach me."

"Let me see your wand and not the one you took from Dumbledore."

Harry handed her the Phoenix core wand. She waved her wand over Harry's twice then frowned and mumbled 'shit'.

"I guess next thing you'll tell me is that you're some lord or something."

"Nope I'm not A lord, I have three titles thank you very much. Just between us, there is a chance I'll have a fourth. Magically I'm the heir of Slytherin. The sorting hat wanted to put me in that house, but after meeting Malfoy, I told it Gryffindor. Since I'm the blood and magical of Godric that's where it put me. Just so you know the other is Ravenclaw."

"All right my Lord there is three basic steps necessary to apparating. The first is to choose your destination then implant that image in your head. The second is to be determined to be on that spot. The last, and equally important or more so is to deliberately will yourself there. Technically, it's called deliberation. Now follow my lead. Pick a spot about five feet in front of the right gate post at the entry of Hogwarts."

"Got it."

"Good, now keep that spot in mind and be determined to be on that spot."

"Alright"

"When you feel me start to turn, turn deliberately with me keeping the other two in mind."

Harry did as he was told and felt like he had just been stuffed through a long, tight rubber hose. When he looked around he was where he pictured and Tonks was about six feet away.

"No one does this the first time Harry."

"Well either you helped or you're one hell of a good teacher. Actually I think the latter is the right answer." Harry said cheekily.

"See that rock about 50 feet away?" she asked and he said yes. "Disapparate to five feet in front of it."

Nothing.

"Will yourself there Harry, you can do this, you will do this." Tonks said and put her hands on her hips and gave him the look.

"Yes Ma'am." As he turned he heard 'Git.'

"Now come back next to me."

Harry did as Tonks asked.

"Damn good Harry, Twycross would be amazed."

"Nah, I probably couldn't do it with a bunch of eyes watching me and making all sorts of comments."

"Once you get better you'll learn to do it silently. If you can learn that before you deal with Mad Eye Moody apparate behind him and hit him in the ass with a stinging hex." Tonks told Harry as they walked toward the castle.

"Sounds like a plan," Harry said, thinking what he had learned in his main vault.

Hermione 

Harry and Tonks went to the hospital wing to see if Madam Pomfrey and Hermione were back from the Grangers. To say Harry was not pleased with what he saw would have been the understatement of the year.

"Hermione love, what's wrong and why have you been crying?"

"My father is such an ass it's unbelievable," She said as Harry sat next to her and lifted her onto his lap.

"What happened?"

"He was more worried about how you dress than what kind of person you are. Then when Madam Pomfrey told him you were most likely a rich lord, he changed his tune. She dressed him down, well up one side and down the other, and then we left."

"Well Hermione, Madam Pomfrey is wrong I'm not a lord per say. Actually I have three earldoms in the magical world and a Dukedom in the Muggle world. Let's see if I remember all of what I learned. As Potter I'm the Earl of Aberdeen, as Ravenclaw I'm the Earl of Inverness, and as Gryffindor I'm the Earl of Hogsmeade. As for being rich, well filthy rich would be more appropriate. I own like 12 percent of Gringotts, 68 percent of the Daily Prophet, and all of Gunnings plus a bunch of other things I still haven't looked at. Ragnok indicated together Bill Gates and Paul Allen couldn't buy one quarter of my assets."

"Harry…" Harry stopped her with a finger on her lips, which she promptly kissed.

"Don't worry about all that, lets concentrate on making peace with your family. I'm sure part of what your father said was in reaction to you being petrified and being in danger two years in a row. Oh, we were wrong earlier this year, I am the magical heir of Slytherin and possibly the full heir. My other rings were at the bank but the Slytherin ring is missing. It's needed to determine the full heir. My defeat of Tom Riddle made me the magical heir since he's the last known blood heir." He said and hugged her to him.

"Now tell me what your Mum had to say, please," Harry said in a begging voice with puppy dog eyes. That caused Hermione, Tonks, and Madam Pomfrey to roll their eyes.

"She didn't say much, I think she was too shocked at the time. But I'll bet Dad caught hell when Madam Pomfrey and I left. He'll probably be sleeping on the couch or in the spare bedroom for a while. When Mum sets her jaw there is hell coming shortly thereafter." She said with a smile and a giggle.

"We need to go back there after dinner and get this straightened out before it has time to fester. I don't want to be the cause of problems in your family." He said firmly and with conviction.

"Hermione please listen to him, he makes more sense than any five males I know. You have a keeper, but Harry if she throws you away I'll catch your fall." Tonks said with a smile.

"Why Nymphy I didn't know you cared…Ouch that hurt." Harry said rubbing his left butt cheek.

"That was three Harry want to try for four?" Tonks said and put her wand away.

"Nope, I pass thank you very much." Harry replied rubbing his butt.

"Well boyfriend anything happen to you?" Hermione asked her curiosity at its peak.

"Yes girlfriend but we need you trained in Occlumency before discussing it." Harry said with cheek and a grin.

"Hermione, I can help you with that. Once you think you're ready, I can test your shields at least to a point. Harry what about you?" Nymphadora asked smiling at the young couple.

"Nope don't need it. The Goblin healers said either the basilisk venom, Phoenix tears or the combination left me with strong shields and a basilisk as a protector." Harry said growing serious again.

"Harry how much did you grow?" Poppy asked changing the subject.

"Four inches and 25 pounds of muscle in fact I was told I need a bit of fat." Harry replied to his favorite healer with a smile.

"Harry your body needs a certain amount of fat to burn calories from or it will burn muscle and make you weaker." She said and patted him on the shoulder.

"Great I can eat lots of treckle tart and pudding, then maybe some cake. Maybe Dobby can get me some ice cream." Harry said with a huge smile.

"Harry a bit of fat not like a whale." Hermione huffed.

"Hermione trust me I know how two human whales eat and there is nothing to worry about in that department. I may eat a bit more desert than I normally would but I'm not about to eat like Vernon and Dudley Dursley. That reminds me I also own Gunnings where my dear Uncle works." Harry said with an evil grin that made Tonks and Poppy shudder.

"Harry you're going to destroy him aren't you." Hermione asked indicating that she agreed with her conclusion.

"Yep, him, Dumbledore, Snape, Malfoy, and any other Death Eaters I can. My so called guardian paid someone for my care while I cooked big breakfasts and ate a piece of dry toast, wore rags, and was treated like dog shit. One day when we have time and are good and comfortable, I'll tell you what the healers said. But Ted Tonks is furious and going after Dumbledore, and we'll use the Daily Prophet to do it." Harry replied keeping the evil grin in place.

"The old bastard will say you're going dark, you have no forgiveness in your soul." Hermione stated with force.

A smiling Harry said, "Language, Hermione."

"Hey, I heard the dog shit remark," she replied.

"But I'm a lord and we can talk that way, you're a lady and can't be heard uttering those words." Her boyfriend replied cheekily with a silly grin.

Hermione's face took on a serious look as she asked, "Tonks, would I be in trouble with the prats guard if I was to hex him?"

"No, but unfortunately, he's right, except maybe at heated Wizengamot meetings. It isn't fair and I don't agree with it at all, but he is right. We lovely ladies are to maintain a certain decorum not expected of the slobs called males." Tonks replied with a sigh.

"Hey, I resent that remark."

"Actually you resemble that remark boyfriend."

"Madam Pomfrey may I have a headache potion? Two women is one too many."

"Sorry Harry I agree with the other two ladies."

"Harry where are your glasses, did you get contacts."

"My lovely girlfriend was so admiring my handsome face she finally saw I no longer need glasses, very observant she is." Harry said and got his arm smacked by Hermione.

"If we're going to my home we should eat early Harry."

"Yes dear, we'll see you later Madam Pomfrey."

"You trained him early Hermione, good for you." Poppy replied with a grin.

They entered the Great Hall and just sat down when Draco, Crabbe, Goyle, and Parkinson approached the table.

"Hermione look here comes 'when my father hears this' or is it 'when I tell my father' I forget which." Harry said with a sneer at Malfoy that would make Snape poud.

"Harry play nice with the underlings my Lord." She replied with a smile.

"Scarhead you'll pay for what you did to my father," Malfoy huffed.

Harry stood and said, "I blasted him back about twenty feet, blew his frigging wand arm off, and then cauterized the wound because his Avada Kedavra missed. But my blaster missed I meant to hit his neck and hit his shoulder. Now if you four want some of that lets take this outside now. But keep in mind I also blasted your head of house and Dumbledore. When I'm through, I'll own your Death Eater father, your mother, you, and your Manor house. Then I'll turn into a whorehouse for Muggles."

Draco drew his wand and Harry blasted him back with an Expelliarmus. The other three with him were now looking at four wands point directly at their heads, as Harry had caught Draco's.

Harry looked at Tonks an asked, "I have another Malfoy wand for my collection. Auror Tonks do you think I should display them together or separately? Someone should help the ferret he probably has a broken pelvis and busted up bits. Children playing with dangerous weapons need to learn the consequences."

"Madam Pomfrey will be pissed Harry."

"Hey I just defended myself, I even waited for him to point it Hermione."

"I'm not saying you did wrong, just that she'll be pissed she has had to work on Malfoy, Snape, Dumbledore, and the ferret the last two days all sent by you."

"Yes dear," Harry replied then looked at the Slytherins and asked, "Did you learn anything?"

The three looked at each other and shook their heads.

Harry shook his head and said, "Surely you three aren't that thick between your ears and behind your eyes. If there is anything remotely like a brain in your heads the lesson is, if you fuck with me I will not hesitate to take you down hard, fast, and with malice. Do you understand now, a simple yes or no will suffice."

"Yes Potter." They said as one.

"Good keep one other thing in mind. What you saw was with my off hand and worst wand. Had I used the other Draco would be re-growing every bone in his body if he survived the sudden stop against the wall. Do understand that part as well?"

"Yes Potter" they replied.

"Then get away from me and stay the hell away from me. Parkinson you may want to give Drakey Poo lots of hugs and kisses because his lifespan just got short. Unless he changes his ways drastically he is a dead man walking, and that's not a threat, it's a promise. Now go," Harry said and pointed towards the Slytherin table.

"I really doubt you reached them Harry."

"I know Tonks, it's pathetic really. Oh this should be interesting here comes Flint and the Slytherin team." Harry said and remained standing.

"Potter."

"Flint."

"I call an honor duel."

"Fine, outside, I don't want your blood on the tables."

"You wish… do you want to have seconds?"

"Not really, I'll take you all on at once. Professor McGonagall you may want to send a patronus for some extra healers, this lot will be in bad shape when I finish this."

Harry saw something silver leave her wand.

"Hermione take my badge, your bad boy has a second whether he wants one or not, and Flint one unforgivable from you lot I go all Avada Kedavra on your ass first. Now you lot tell me one at a time you understand. Lord Potter you are also authorized to return any unforgivable with the Killing Curse," Tonks said sliding her second wand into her hand.

"Auror Tonks give me time to erect the proper shields."

"Sure Professor Flitwick," She replied keeping her eyes on Flint who gulped.

"Oliver, Angelina, Alicia, and Katie your job is to protect Hermione or I'll have your asses on a platter. Dobby."

"Yes Lord Harry."

"Not you too, your job is to protect Ms. Hermione."

"Dobby will protect you's Miss 'Mione, Lord Harry Potter sir."

The entire school went to the Quidditch pitch and the non-combatants went to the stands.

"Tonks, stay out of my way and just protect my back. This lot isn't going to know what hit them."

The Slytherins line up looking into the sun and Harry stood 20 feet away with Tonks behind him.

Professor Flitwick said "on my mark, 3, 2, 1 begin."

Harry blasted the earth with his elder wand then threw the large chunks at the Slytherins. The next thing they heard while ducking was Reducto, Reducto, Reducto, Diffindo, Diffindo, Diffindo, Expelliarmus, Accio all wands.

Harry walked to Flint and asked, "Did you learn anything asshole? All you lot did was add six more wands to my collection. That makes nine now including Draco's, Lucy's, and Snivellus'. The way you are going there won't be a wand or student left in Slytherin."

"Mr. Potter, who is supposed to pay for this?" someone asked in an unpleasant voice.

"Who might you be?" Harry asked his eyes narrowing.

"I am healer Carrow," Came the snide reply.

"Must be an ex Slytherin," Harry said with a sneer.

"Yes and proud of it," The healer stated.

"Well to you its Lord Gryffindor not Mr. Potter. Since Flint issued the challenge he can damn well take care of the expense. I am so proud that a second year Griff just kicked six seventh year Slytherins assess with eight curses I learned in second year. Sal must be turning over in his grave while Godric is laughing at him."

"Why you…"

"Finish that or draw a wand and there will be one more Slytherin down. As I told Flint I'm gathering quite a collection of them." Harry said, then stumbled and ripped off Carrow's sleeve.

"Oh, my Auror Tonks it seems we have a Death Eater in our midst should we run hide or take his ass out. Expelliarmus, hey Flint another wand for my collection," Harry said with a laugh.

"Harry can we go eat in peace now."

"Well, we can try, Tonks."

"Is it always this exciting around you?"

"Generally only at Halloween, and the end of the year."

"I don't suppose you want to tell me where you learned battle magic," The Auror asked politely.

"Actually I can't, it's a family secret."

"Wait. Shit Harry your great-great-grandfather was the last known battle mage."

"Yep, Charlus James Harold Potter, but don't remind Mad Eye Moody of that please with honey on it." Harry asked with his puppy dog eyes on full mode.

"Harry"

"Yes dear"

"That was bloody but awesome. They never really stood a chance did they?"

"Based on how they stood, hell no. They were six kids with deadly weapons that took a hard fall, and their lives are forever changed because of a foolish mistake. They can call it pride or coat it in whatever color or flavor they want. But from where I stood it was pure stupidity. However, it just may save some other lives." Harry replied with a sigh and slumped shoulders.

"Harry" Ron said.

"Go away spy or so help me what I just did to Flint and the others will pale in comparison to what I do to you traitor," Harry replied his voice as cold as ice.

"As an Auror I'm ordering you to say nothing and leave or I'll take your ass straight to Azkaban," Tonks stated.

Ron seemed to get the hint at least he left. Unfortunately, before they got to dinner there were two more witches waiting for them.

"Mr. Potter, my office now please."

"Do I need my solicitor Professor McGonagall?"

"No, I don't think so."

"Ok, I'll settle for my guard and girlfriend then."

"That isn't necessary, Mr. Potter."

"Ok then I'll pass on the invitation."

"That's not an option," McGonagall said getting huffy now.

"Auror Tonks what are your orders?" Harry asked quietly.

"To guard your person until I'm relieved."

"Can you guard my person if you're not in Professor McGonagall's office with me?"

"No Lord Potter I can't," She replied with a grin.

"Then what's the solution you propose Auror Tonks."

"I suggest we eat dinner and take Ms. Granger to see if we can make peace with her parents since the school nurse apparently left her father in quite a state. We wouldn't want him to get the wrong impression about magic and its people would we?"

"No Auror Tonks, I don't think that would be a good idea especially since it's probably me he is most angry at."

"All right Mr. Potter you may bring Auror Tonks and Ms. Granger with you."

"Actually Professor, that would be Lord Gryffindor since this seems to be a formal meeting. See I have the ring and everything. Oops wrong ring that was the Ravenclaw ring."

"Lord Potter, believe me I get the point."

After being seated Professor McGonagall said, "Harry, perhaps it would be safer for the students if you left school early."

"Good, straight to the point, in a word 'no' unless you tend to expel me. You see professor, I own this school and the county surrounding it as the Earl of Hogsmeade. That's as Lord Gryffindor. As Lord Ravenclaw, I own the county west of here. Then as the magical heir of Slytherin by conquest, I also own three-fourths of Hogwarts. It would seem to me that based on ownership if anyone leaves it will be you and your students. Of course, there is always the option of following the logical course and expelling those who cause trouble. But somehow, that never seems to happen. I could have easily killed six people who challenged a student five years younger than them to a duel to the death if the winner wished it. The Deputy Headmistress stood by and did nothing. However, after I win said duel and physically maim said students who challenged me, I'm asked to leave."

"Do not be surprised come next board meeting to find yourself as a teacher only if I deem you worthy to remain in the schools employ. So far, the only competent person I've seen in this school is Madam Pomfrey. Professor Flitwick can't seem to stop the bullying in his house. You can't stop the twins. Snape encouraged bullying of the other house's students. Perhaps Professor Sprout is better. I haven't heard. No Professor I will not be leaving but others will, hopefully not in a coffin. As the Americans say, you talk the talk but don't walk the walk. It means you talk a good game but don't play it well enough to be a professional. Believe me, I will back up my words. This is the last term students get by with what they have in the past. Hogwarts I'll take control of the wards now please." Harry stated his anger showing just below the surface.

"Yes Lord Gryffindor welcome home."

"Thank you my lady. As soon as it is safe for them to travel I want the students we discussed earlier removed. They can floo from the Three Broom Sticks. Dumbledore's personal items can go to Aberforth. Albus will not return to Hogwarts unless I invite him. Thank you again Lady Hogwarts."

"You're welcome My Lord."

"Now who has the power Professor McGonagall? This never had to happen, but I will not be pushed. Snivellus was right, I am my father's son. The difference is that I was not a winter child and spoiled rotten. I wasn't raised as a little Prince but treated like a house elf. Madam Pomfrey you may tell McGonagall about what you saw later. Now it's my turn to ask a question, who is currently head of house Slytherin?" Harry said calming down somewhat.

"Professor Sinstra."

"Very well I want a breakfast meeting with the heads of houses in the morning at 07:30… Madam Pomfrey when will Malfoy be ready to travel?"

"In two days at the most." She replied.

"He may not have a home to go to but that's his parents problem not ours. Once he leaves, he cannot reenter the wards. That goes for the other six as well. Crabbe, Goyle, Zabini, and Parkinson also will not be returning to Hogwarts. There are some fifth and sixth year gits that I'm looking at also and it is not just Slytherins. Cho Chang and her clique are most probably out, that Professor Flitwick could have prevented. Mr. Filch needs to change his attitude or he'll join the migration out the door. This is a school not a nuthouse or a prison. Why is it only third year and above can go to Hogsmeade? I'll ask those questions at breakfast, and the bullshit it's always been that way is not an acceptable reason." Harry stated firmly.

"Lord Gryffindor, are you taking over as Headmaster?" McGonagall asked her lips thinning.

"No, I'm the owner I hire people to run the school, the board is an advisory board only. You may want to reread the charter set by the founders. Come on ladies we'll eat dinner with the Grangers my treat." Harry said and stood.

Saying that Harry grabbed Hermione and Tonks then disappeared and reappeared in the Grangers back garden.

"Harry you can't apparate from Hogwarts."

"Hermione where were we and where are we now?"

"Oh"

"Yep, owners privilege my dear."

"Potter, what's this shit with no turn and no sound the fourth time you apparate?"

"Well Tonksie it's a family thing don't you know?" Harry said grinning at Hermione and Tonks.
