Chapter 26
A couple days after Christmas Hay and Daphne both receive a letter summoning them to the next wizengamot assembly. The two teens sigh in annoyance as Sirius starts laughing at them until Gabriel hits him in the back of them head.
Sirius looks over his shoulder and pouts at her, as she simply rolls her eyes at the mutt. She then walks to the young couple and looks over her apprentices shoulder at the letter.
Gabriel nods as she places and hand on Daphne's shoulder and smiles as she addresses the two teens.
"Well this should be interesting and it now gives you two a reason to be there. Don't worry both myself and Lucy will be right beside you the entire time."
The two teens although use to how Gabriel addresses her husband still snicker at this before nodding looking unworried in the least.
The two then excuse themselves and then stand before heading outside to have a warmup run before their first Moony run later that evening. Gabriel sighs as the two disappear and rubs the bridge of her nose.
"The British ministry is completely incompetent. What with no real explanation just a letter that is more like demanding them to show."
She then smirks devilishly as she muses to herself.
"I suppose this will be rather interesting. I can guess why they want to see Hadrian although why they are so rudely demanding my apprentice's presence is beyond me."
Sirius smirks from where he is reading a small and ancient looking black book with no title.
"I can take a wild guess. From what I have heard in the grapevine it seems that the little ankle bitters of the dark mook want to try and force the issue of Daphne's apprenticeship. Their reasoning is because your not British you have no business teaching someone of a 'higher breed' and that her father still has control over her. Funny enough what they don't seem to understand is all people with the rank of S-class can take whoever they want as an apprentice and are given full custody rights. which means they are seen by magic and all legal authority as their guardian, and parent making all forms of contracts and obligations to their old family weather before or after the the beginning of the apprenticeship invalid."
Gabriel nods as she thinks about what Sirius had said then snorts in an unladylike fashion as her voice begins to drip in so much cold venom.
"So what your saying is that most of the British pure bloods are fucken morons."
Sirius shrugs but then says unconcerned by the blue haired women's growing ire.
"well for the most part but also it may be that Greengrass probably isn't thinking and want's his daughter back under his thumb so that he can break her and rise even higher in voldy's ranks."
Gabriel scoffs at this before walking out the doors; but before the doors closes she says more to herself then anyone else.
"The little bitch can try."
Sirius smirk grows into a sadistic grin before he returns to his current reading.
'Oh yes I can't wait till the next wizengamot assembly. I'll have to ask to see the memory of it, Since Dumbledore will be so distracted I'll be able to finish the required objectives to operation hunter with out him being able to stop it.'
Outside the young couple are simply walking on the path of the small forest of the Potter's main property. They remain silent, simply enjoying the warmth and closeness of each other; Daphne looks up at her boyfriend her eyes shining with untold amounts of love. When Harry notices this in the corner of his eye and smiles softly as he leans down to kiss her forehead as he says teasingly.
"Like what you see?"
Daphne smiles coyly as she pulls him down for a searing kiss that causes both their toes to curl then whispers breathlessly.
"More then you know, lover."
As the two slowly part Harry grins as he then softly presses his forehead to hers.
"You ready for tomorrow?"
Daphne nods her head slightly as she calmly replies.
"I'm actually looking forward to tomorrow."
She then pecks his cheek and smiles coyly as she says with a innocent tone.
"I wonder what that bastard will say when he finally learns that I'm head over heels in love with the great 'boy who lived'? And the apprentice to a real living ice queen?"
Harry smirks as he presses his lips to the top of her head as he runs his hands though her gold and black hair.
"Guess we will find out soon. Now come on let's go back inside you look a little cold."
As the prove his point he places both hands on her rosy cheeks and kisses her softly to warm her a little more.
Daphne smiles as licks her lips then pushes him away before transforming into Umbra and running towards the mansion.
Tails is quickly catching up behind her, but then dodges out of the way as a treadle of powdered snow comes at him. He growls in frustration at the happy barks that oddly sound like laughing coming from Umbra. The kitsune then smirks as it grows in size as four more tails emerge. Now the size of a pony; Tails takes of with even more speed.
Just as umbra reaches the house and transforms back to open the door in victory, Tails having shrunk just as he pounces now the size of a large dog tackles the girl. The two roll into the hallway as tails pins Daphne on her back looking especially proud.
Daphne rolls her eyes but then starts giggling uncontrollably as all four of the kitsune's tails start to mercilessly tickle her.
The adults who had rushed in at the loud noises watch this all happen in amusement until Daphne finally squirms fee, then gives an indigent huff. She then with as much dignity and grace of a pure blood princess makes her way upstairs to their bedroom ignoring the adults laughter.
The adults laughter finally gets tails attention and before the rest can even react the kitsune pounces at Sirius, weather by instinct or sheer dumb luck Sirius manages to avoid the attack and turns into Padfoot. The two animals circle each other before the older animagus turns on a dime and takes off upstairs Tails quickly on his heel.
As they reach the third floor Padfoot faints left then goes right causing the kitsune to lose his footing and crashes into the small coffee table. The vase of flowers on top falling over and landing on his head; causing a yelp of pain and Tails rubbing his paws on his head for a moment softly whining before standing up and shaking his head. He then hears snickering from Padfoot and growls before chasing him again.
The two childish animals continue to chase each other up another floor till Padfoot is then cut off by the regal and beautiful hellhound . the grim tries to stop but because of the speed his forward momentum carries him and causes the grim to do a somersault.
Dazed Sirius changes back while shaking his head he looks to see Umbra walk passed him, and the two teens then circle each other as they brush up against the other. Tails then nuzzles Umbras neck in an apology before turning towards their room while brushing his four tails across he snout in a light tease.
Daphne then transforms back sitting on the soft carpet floor wearing a dark blue sweater that hugs her form comfortably and a pair of black pajama pants. She simply smirks as tails turns back in to Harry before seeing Sirius stand in front of her offering to help her up. Daphne smile is both innocent and cute as she looks at her boyfriends Godfather who just like Luciferel is becoming a real father figure in her life. She takes his hand as he helps her up and without thinking she hugs him tightly thanking him for all that he has done in her life.
Although momentarily taken back Sirius returns her hug as he also softly tells her it was no trouble and that he is proud of her.
Much later that evening Sirius, Bella, Daphne, and Harry are outside waiting for Remus to arrive for their first run all together. Sirius smiles as he looks around him in fond remembrance; Daphne then looks over towards the mansion and smiles while saying softly.
"He's here."
The others then turn to look where she is Sirius grins even larger as he moves over to his best friend and brother in all but blood as he says joyfully.
"Your late Moony. So how was meeting and spending the holidays with your girlfriends parents."
Remus glares at the man child that is his friend while the others try to hold back their laughter; he then sighs loudly.
"Ignoring the fact that I'm almost old enough to be her father I think it went fine. At the very least Andromeda seems to approve Ted at first looked like he wanted to shoot me."
Bella then cackles at that while the others still try in vain to hold in their amusement till Sirius wraps him in a hug while exclaiming.
"You know I've always wanted a male cousin that I could goof off with, after all I got where females and a stuffy little brother. So Welcome to the family Moony!"
The rest then burst into hysterics at how uncomfortable Remus looks and the glare Bella is giving Sirius. Remus then pushes Sirius off him and looks in to the sky to see the full moon in all it's splendor coming from the heavy cloud cover. The others glance up then transform, Padfoot shakes his body and barks happily as Umbra and tails sit and watch as Remus transforms while a black panther circles them all not use to all the new smells and animals in the area.
As Moony finishes transforming he looks around and growls at the most perceived dangers to itself the kitsune and hellhound he slowly moves closer and sniffs the air and begins to relax as it realizes that they aren't a threat to him. The kitsune grins as it nudges the helhound the two then take off into the forest.
The werewolf looks confused till padfoot barks to get it's attention till the panther jumps over the grim smacking him in the head with her tail. The grim growls as he starts to chase her, Moony follows right after him. As the sun begins to rise the pack of animals move towards the manor, Padfoot looks like a drowned mess after being pushed into the river by tails. While the hellhound and kitsune look almost pure white, Having been covered by snow from a tree that Moony had rolled into after being tripped by the panther.
Just as they reached the house Remus transforms back just as Gabriel drops a blanket around him. He smiles in thanks as she winks then moves in front of the other tired animals blocking the entrance.
"Not so fast. Those eves don't need you to muddy up the floor they 'just' finished cleaning."
Then with a wave of her hand the four animals are no longer wet, covered in snow or muddy. The animals nod their thanks as Umbra and Tails move to the den and snuggle in front of the roaring fire as the panther curls into a ball on a couch, while Padfoot uses the chair. Remus chuckles as he gives a small pet to each in silent thanks before sleeping on the other couch.
The group had ended up sleeping till that evening before they could revert back and afterwards they slowly went to their rooms and fell back asleep.
The next morning everyone was up early for the wizengamot meeting. They had been let in surprisingly easily and as they moved to the observers area. Gabriel said quietly as she hugged the two teens.
"We are right here for you two, so don't worry."
The two nod as they all sit and watch the by play of magical Brittan politics. The ones that have not lived here for the last fourteen years or all their lives snicker at how puffed up and arrogant most of them seem to be.
As the assembly begins to close Dumbledore is about to call for Hadrian so he can get the boy back but Cygnus Greengrass then stands.
"I demand this body annual my oldest daughters to that outsider Mudblood and that she is charged for kidnapping of the heiress of a noble family! As well as her and the Nott heir to be wed today."
He then turns to sneer at Gabriel as he says in condensation.
"If not I challenge her a wizard's duel for besmirching the Noble house of Greengrass."
Gabriel stands up with out any concern and walks down the stairs while she softly giggles to herself the entire time as the whole room feels an eerie chill in the air. As Gabriel stands in front of the room she says in a sickly sweet voice.
"Very well child, I have no problems giving you a well deserved spanking so tell me what are the terms?"
Cygnus sneers as he walks down, then as he stands in front of her.
"I win I get my daughter back and you as my bitch, and it's to the death!"
With that he silently conjures 15 daggers and launches them at her.
Gabriel looks unimpressed as a wall of ice forms in front of her blocking them all. As the wall falls Cygnus launches a volley of different spells, curses, and hexes at the young woman each one dodged as if it was no effort at all. She continues to giggle as Cygnus becomes more frustrated he then fires the killing curse at her, but to his and all of the death eaters in the assembly's horror she bats it back at him.
Cygnus rolls out of the way only for Gabriel to be standing before him, she holds out her hand as four spears of ice form from her fingertips that then pierce his shoulders and upper thighs. As the ice pierces his body ice begins to slowly crawl down covering his body. Cygnus looks up in pure terror when his whole body is frozen as she continues that hauntingly innocent giggling as from as from her middle finger a fifth spear of ice slowly drills into the mans forehead.
With the rest of the Wizignmont they all watch as this unknown woman so easily dispatches one of their lords. But from the marked death eaters it is fear they feel for one of their dark lords most trusted inner circle member's was dealt with like he was muggle child.
Everyone's eyes then widen as this woman walks right passed the frozen form of Cygnus Greengrass who then shatters into dust that then melts just as quickly.
During this last distraction Hadrian twitches his finger as the three students who tried to harm Daphne stand. Two of them then call out loud.
"For the returned dark lord and our pure world!"
One of them uses the killing curse on fudge while a clear looking curse slams into the lord Nott's chest. Everyone's eyes widen as the clear curse passes right through him but with a dark brown splotch on it. The boy who had fired the curse then begins to crumble like dirt. Nott then stands and tries to fire a spell at his attacker but nothing at all happens his eyes widen as he can't feel any of his magic. The alarms then go off that a muggle is in the ministry. As this all is happening no one notices as the last boy slips to the side of Dumbledore and silently enchants a bracelet before using a switching spell around the air of his left ankle. As he completes the spell his wand disintegrates from the power of the enchantment while his wand arm rapidly decays.
The wizengamot becomes pandemonium as Hadrian and his group leave with no one noticing while the aurors and everyone tries to figure out what had just happened. Once the group returns Bella and Sirius take the teens to train in fighting and tracking in their animagus forms and human together.
The two adults nod in approval as they watch the two teen fight. To them it almost seems like they are dancing. Bella then calls them too stop and come over, which they do without question when they transform back. Sirius nods his approval as he says.
"Very good you two, I believe we can begin the next level of your training."
The two tilt their heads in curiosity so Bella decides to elaborate.
"You will be sparing with us for the next week before you return to Hogwarts."
This is how the last week of their Christmas vacation had gone. The daily prophet had called the last wizengamot meeting a tragedy, the only survivor of the three boys had confirmed Voldemort's return and even revealed that you must willing take the dark lord's mark. The ministry now under Amelia Bones had called for a man hunt of all death eaters especially the one that claimed imperious last time.
It had then gone on to say that a concerned citizen that is to remain unknown has put a bounty out. 1000G for any marked death eaters, 5000G for any of Voldemort's inner circle and 20,000G for the clown Voldemort himself dead of alive. To collect they have to bring the body to Gringotts for the goblins to confirm.
Needless to say since that article at first all the death eaters had sneered at it and on new years a group of twenty death eaters had attacked Diagon ally. None of them returned to report in and the next day the front page had a picture displaying the corpses of all twenty their marks on display for all to see.
Voldemort for his part couldn't believe what had been happening his return was brought out to light much to early. Two of his inner circle had taken out at the wizengamot, one of them had been turned in to a fucken muggle. Bella had gone MIA, the Lestrange brothers where killed in their cells, and during his assault on Azkaban something had gone very wrong. There were no dementors to convince to join him and the guards had fired to kill, he had lost half of the potential followers and a few already marked death eaters before they could escape. Now their was a bloody bounty on all their heads and because of the incompetence of some a pile of twenty dead death eater's. Voldemort grits his teeth as he shouts to the skies.
"Fuck. Who ever caused this all to happen. It was going perfectly!"
He then turns and glares at some of his kneeling followers and he shouts out.
"I want you to find out who caused all this and bring them to me. Do I make myself clear!"
The death eaters bow then make haste before their master can punish them.
With Dumbledore he sighs in disappointment at the article, and the loss of life that should have been allowed to redeem itself and join the light side. He had also just returned from the ministers office where he witnessed Dolores Umbridge unconscious and being dragged out in cuff. When he had asked Amelia about it she had told him that 'It was none of his concern.'
He had then told her to retract the bounties and she had laughed at him before saying rather harshly.
"Dumbledore I had no say in this and even if I did I would have still allowed it. Now I neither asked for or need your opinion Albus, you will find that I'm nothing like my corrupt predecessor. These death eaters have made a mockery of our system they are nothing but diseased vermin and need to be eradicated."
Dumbledore heaves a disappointed sigh as he stands and eaves to plans on how to stop the needless killing. Snape had also confirmed that the bracelet that had been on his ankle had a very powerful decaying curse that neither could stop; just simply slow down but either way he only had at the very most a year before it reached his heart.
"Now what am I going to do I have two days before the new term starts and the DADA professor is locked away in a maximum security cell in the ministry."
Unlike Dumbledore or Voldemort the passed week had flown by for Harry and Daphne. The two had enjoyed much of it training and spending the evenings either out in the muggle world or in the Potter manor curled next to each other reading. A few times they had been caught in a heavy make out session where they wouldn't hear the end of the teasing from the adults. Daphne herself had never felt so free with her father's death as well as the death Theodore Nott SR. She also found it hilarious when Gabriel had taken her back to the ministry and adopted both her and her sister the poor official must have heard about the blue haired woman as she looked petrified in fear.
Daphne was soon pulled back from her musings and in to reality as Harry starts to suck on her pulse point while she starts rubbing her inner thighs together. The beautiful blonde moans softly and arches her back, pushing her body even closer to his. She then feels the hint of a smirk before he lifts his head to admire the new love bite that begins to form.
Harry then feels a tug on his hair as Daphne crashes her lips to his. Already she can tell that both their lips are starting to bruise but doesn't care as she runs her tongue on his bottom lip requesting entrance that Harry readily gives. Just the simple taste of the beautiful woman's tongue is almost enough for him to lose himself to his instincts but when he feels her hand start to trail down his chest before reaching the growing bulged has the young man groaning into her mouth.
As the young woman smirks in pride she begins to rub the covered hard member of her love; While grinding on his leg to help elevate some of the growing heat. They both both moan into the kiss while Harry starts to rub one of her covered breasts inwardly cursing how many layers the girls at Hogwarts have to wear. As the couple lose themselves further to their growing passion a silvery eagle owl flies through the door ignoring all the wards that they had placed and the annoyed voice of Draco Malfoy calls from it.
"OI, you two where the hell are you?"
Harry moves his head to look at the bloody bird as Daphne kisses and nips at his neck, he growls.
"I'll kill that little weasel when I see him."
Daphne giggles before pulling him back in to a searing kiss, that is once again interrupted by the grinding halt of train. This time the both of them growl in frustration, as Harry looks out the window he sees a man in black robes and silver mask fly passed on a broom. Both their eyes flash as they stand; Daphne looks up into Harry's eyes then moves onto her tiptoes to place one soft kiss on his lips as she whispers softly.
"Stay safe, and come back to me."
Harry nods as Daphne then closes her eye in concentration her magical aura flares to life and let's it build then calls out.
"Benictio in mari."
As she finishes the spell like a raging sea all of the bathrooms on the train begin to flood. Harry smirks as he watches before being swallowed by the shadows and disappearing.
And so here is the latest chapter hope it was worth the wait. now the two spells that had been used in the wizengamot assembly are powerful but as you read have massive and lethal draw backs so Harry can't use them himself and gets his puppets to use them unfortunately they also need a lot of power which Harry needed to supply and it took him a couple weeks since the incident at Hogwarts for him to channel the power needed in to his two puppets. Next the best way to think of Gabriel's laugh during her fight is if you have seen Tenjo Tenge Aya's laugh when she first uses the dragon's eye. Alright here we go first off my challenge to who ever want to try their hand at it.
Plot: a Harry potter with a shaman king twist. Basically Harry is the older twin brother of the potter family but his soul has existed since the beginning of the Potter family roughly 1600 years and aim's to be the world's king through a world wide tournament of many different forms of magical abilities. I.E Shamanism, magic, arcane, necromancy elemental, etc. That is held every 1000 years. Harry's personality needs to be more like Hao Asakura it that he sees the muggles as an infestation that is killing the planet but he has a very playful attitude toward everything but when he actually takes a fight seriously absolutely dangerous. This doesn't mean he is evil he has just seen more of the atrocities the world has done in the course of history and is more jaded and realistic. While Harry has a high degree of knowledge of all form of magic his main area of expertise lies in shamanism. His spirit is for you to decide how ever it cant be a God however the spirit of fire like Hao uses or A well known figure such as Gilgamesh is allowed also note he is only allowed at maximum two spirits. Harry also sees Dumbledore and Voldemort's war as unimportant as he sees them both as petulant children. Harry also must take on no more then 12 'students' that firmly believe in his ideals and their wish is to help Harry achieve his goal of acquiring the world's throne. The pairing I would like to see for this is Daphne/Harry with Daphne being his best and most prized student. As for Lilly and James they are to survive because Harry's spirit is finally able to reform and destroys Voldemort's body as he enter the house because it feels the harmful intention to his partner. For obvious reasons he doesn't recruit certain people such as Draco, Hermione and Ron. Lastly His younger brother (your choice in name) wishes to find his older brother and try to stop him from his chosen path even if it means he has to defeat him. Besides these things you have free reign so have fun with it.
