Prologue

All Hollows Eve was a night that had long been known in the past as a day of darkness when the souls of the dead were free to walk the world once more. That changed of course to make it a day of celebration that humans had remained Halloween.

The Head of the U.K branch of Gringotts bank snorted in contempt at that as he drank from his goblet. Chief Ragnarok was an old Goblin in fact he was old enough to have been considered a child when Gringotts first opened it's doors. He had earned his place in the old ways mainly through combat and blood. Until such a time as someone new came along to challenge this he would remain the Chief of the U.K Goblins.

There was no King among Goblins...at least there hasn't been one since the first Goblin Wars...making Ragnarok the law among the warrior breed residing on the island. All Hollows was a night of rest for the Goblins it allowed them to close their doors early making it so they could make the humans they hated leave early without any justification.

True they had feast and drank much wine and mead but the celebrations were no longer of great importance to him...in fact he never had any thought that this particular All Hollows would be any different than the ones in the past. Oh if only he had known. After taking his drink Ragnarok placed the goblet on his desk when the sound of a loud shrill screech hit his ears making him bulk, and almost knock the goblet off the table as he covered his sensitive ears.

"Someone find that document now!" Ragnarok shouted as he was reminded of why he sometimes hated the old ways of the few Scribes of the Goblin Nation.

As a jest or a means to irritate...he knew not which...the scribes had placed enchantments upon important writings of old. Everything contracts, Royal Decrees, and any documents customers could afford to have enchanted were given someway of being made aware.

If someone untrustworthy were to ever take hold of the document it would send out shrill sonic screams disabling said untrustworthy. However in come cases these screams were also to act as some form of alarm should an old forgotten contract or the like be awakened in some way shape or form. The fact that one had activated tonight of all nights made Ragnarok almost curse the Gods.

Finally when the sound faded away Ragnarok waited for a moment knowing whatever document had been set off would soon be brought in front of him. Sure enough moments later a Goblin by the name of Griphook walked into his office carrying a large scroll encased in what looked like jade colored metal.

"That doesn't look like the usual documentation among the families in Britain." Ragnarok thought as Griphook approached him and set the scroll before the Chief.

"Chief Ragnarok this was the document in question it was found within the Potter family vaults." Griphook said making Ragnarok nod as he took the scroll and opened it.

Only to blink at the sight of... "This is Kanji." he said looking at the artfully made letters.

"Indeed I've already called for a Scribe to be brought here to translate." Griphook said making Ragnarok nod.

True the elder Goblin possibly have translated a word or two but had had long fallen out of practice of languages minus English, Latin, and his Native Tongue. Soon another Goblin arrived however unlike the two originally in the officer who wore suits of business this one wore a trailing robe of purple with gold embroidering along the edging.

"Ah Scribe Tomius good of you to come on such short notice." Griphook said making the scribe nod slightly before he bowed to Ragnarok.

"What seems to be the problem my Chief?" The Goblin asked making Ragnarok lift the scroll into view.

"It seems a document of old has activated however it is written in Japanese Kanji. It seems the Potter family has had family from their past reappear." Ragnarok said making the Scribe nod as he took the scroll and opened it.

"It's a Marriage Contract." The scribe said after a few minutes of reading Ragnarok and Griphook kept quiet because they knew he would continue his explanation in time.

"It seems many years ago during what is known as the Edo period in Japan Lord Hallice Potter saved the lives of a mother and her two sons. The husband of this woman belonged to a family of Samurai who had ties with the magical world but did not use magic himself.

As thanks for saving his wife and sons the man bowed before Lord Hallice and swore upon his honor that he would repay the Lord. The Lord could not think of what he could wish he already had wealth and didn't wish for more. He had a beautiful wife who was soon to give him his first child so he was not in need of a Lady Potter.

However as chance would have it a group of students were practicing the blade art form the family used catching the interest of the war mage." Tomius said as he opened the scroll more to tell the story.

"When he requested that he be trained in the art of their blade in order for it to join his family's own battle style he met a small road block. According to this the family's sword style was bound by honor and magic of old to remain only in the family making it impossible for an outsider to learn." Tomius said as he continued looking over the scroll while Ragnarok felt his eyebrow rise as he began to see just how this contract was established.

"Hallice proposed an idea. 'My wife is soon to give me my first child if it be a daughter could marry into your family allowing for the art of your blade to be passed to her children my decedents.' He said.

"Marriage contracts were common use during such a time so the idea was not lost to the Morinozuka family."

Tomius read making both Ragnarok and Griphook cry out 'Finally!' when the name was mentioned.

Both had begun to worry that no name would be mentioned making it almost impossible to find the family the contract was made with.

"Since it was a time of hardship and war with both families being of warrior blood they included a clause in the contract. Should the heir that falls under this contract become an orphan the living family would take them in and raise them as they would their own child." Tomius said as he closed the scroll.

"That makes this contract almost 200 years old. Why are we only learning of it now?" Ragnarok asked of the scribe.

"It is clearly written that a Daughter of the Potter family would be the one to activate this contract. Since Hallice Potter only had a single son the contract was not waken. Also Lord Hallice's decedent Lord Claudius Potter...also a single son...only had a single child as well Lord James Potter. Heiress Violet Lily Potter is the first Potter daughter born in almost 300 years." Tomius answered making Ragnarok nod.

"Then Lord James and Lady Lily have perished?" He asked Griphook who nodded.

As the Potter family accountant he would know when the main family vault would close due to the death of the Lord/Lady of the family. Mainly because it was an automatic function until such a time as the heir/heiress of the family turned 17. "What of the muggle businesses Lady Potter had?" Ragnarok asked of Griphook.

Lily Potter had not agreed with the idea of keeping all of the magical world hidden from muggles and had developed a company that sold Potions as 'Alternative Medicine'. The company was called Evans Healing and had made quite the profit over the years.

"She placed the entire company in her daughters name upon the time of her death. She also named one Remus Lupin as her appointed CEO of the company until such a time as Violet comes of age. Since it is the muggle world that the company deals with there is no reason magical law can stop him from handling the affairs.

Her solicitor will handle the company shareholders while we hold the reading of the will to allow Mr. Lupin control of the company."

"Has the Morinozuka been informed of their new obligations?" Ragnarok looked at Tomius for this one.

"There was a copy left to the Morinozuka family as well as the Potter family. I have no doubt that our brother clan in Japan will have already contacted them." Tomius reassured before the doors opened as a message runner ran inside.

"Chief Ragnarok we have received a missive from Chief Torahiro of Japan."

"It seems you were correct Tomius." Griphook said as the smaller goblin ran past them and towards the elder of the room.

Ragnarok opened the letter "It seems the Morinozuka family accepted their honor bound oath without any hesitation. Heiress Potter is to be the bride of their elder son with their younger being a back up should anything prevent the marriage. The head of the family with arrive with his wife and sons via Portkey at around 10 am our time." he read.

"Where is Heiress Potter currently?" He barked making Griphook reach into his coat and pull out a small tube with the Potter family crest on it.

He pointed the tube towards a piece of scrap parchment and pressed the button making a shot of purple light leave the tube and strike the parchment. Griphook lifted the parchment up and read. "She is currently in the custody of Headmaster Dumbledore and his staff." Ragnarok growled at that.

Dumbledore was a man who had been a constant pain in his side...not for anything illegal mind you but his ideals of how the goblins should punish those guilty of breaking their laws racked his nerves. There was also the fact that he also liked to try and 'help' families in the past. Also...he seemed slightly obsessed with the Potter Heiress ever since he had hired his new divination teacher he seemed to spend more and more time trying to emigrate himself in the Potters lives.

Something about it all bothered Ragnarok but with nothing to show against the man he kept his mouth shut. Most of the mindless sheep of the Wizarding World would rather reveal themselves to the muggles than dare go against Dumbledore. "Summon him along with those of his staff that are aware of his possession of Heiress Potter." Ragnarok ordered making Griphook bow before he and the other three left the office to go about their jobs.

Later when the morning sun was raising in the air Dumbledore was pacing his office. Earlier this morning Hagrid the half-giant groundskeeper had safely brought young Violet Potter to the school. At the moment the year old babe was being cared for by Madame Pomfrey since she had the most medical know how among the staff.

However what was bothering to Dumbledore was the summons from Gringotts he had received within an hour of her arrival. On normal circumstances Albus wouldn't be bothered by the bank, however the life or death message had made it so he had had no choice but to answer it.

"The fact that Hagrid, Minerva, and Poppy are expected as well is rather bothersome." He thought the less people who knew about such a meeting the better since it kept Violet hidden and he couldn't risk the chosen one. Never the less he knew better than to flat out refuse to follow the summons of the Goblin Nation doing so lead to a legal death...and that was the least that could happen to him.

Dumbledore sighed as he realized he had no choice but to accept the summons as he crossed over towards his fireplace and threw in some floo powder. "Minerva please gather Poppy and Hagrid and bring them along with young Violet as well." He called into the fire before pulling his head out not waiting for a response from his deputy head.

Soon the door to his office was knocked upon as he sat behind his desk. "Enter." He said as the four mentioned walked inside his eyes zeroing in on the sleeping child safe in Poppy's arms.

"You summoned us Headmaster." Minerva McGonagall said as she sat down in front of the desk while Poppy took the remaining seat. The half-giant had no problem remaining standing his body long used to standing or working for long periods of time.

"Yes. It seems that Gringotts has become aware that young Violet is within our custody and has summons all of us to their offices. Chief Ragnarok himself is expecting us." The elderly man said making the three adults blink in surprise at his words.

"Blimey the Chief of the Goblins himself this must be important." Hagrid said making Dumbledore nod.

"Should we be worried Albus?" Minerva asked.

"No. Not yet at least for all we know this is simply something that will not effect young Violet for many years to come." Dumbledore said making Minerva nod. The group spent a little time talking before Madame Pomfrey gathered together a bag filled with what supplies had been salvageable from the Potter household then they departed.

They arrived and were soon directed into an office where they saw the familiar face of Remus Lupin along with two families they didn't recognize. One family was of a man with honey blond hair that he kept cut short along with a great beard that covered his face his wife was of a slightly smaller stature and had soft brown hair and eyes.

The second family was a man with a serious expression with short black hair and gray eyes along with a woman with long black hair tied in a bun with two style sticks holding it together.

All four were wearing traditional Japanese clothing with the women each holding a baby no more than a few months in their arms. Nearby were two children of around two years of age playing with the blond being the more energetic and the dark haired one with an almost stoic face.

"Ah you've arrived." Ragnarok said looking towards the group as they moving into the meeting room.

"Headmaster Albus Dumbledore, Deputy Headmistress Minerva McGonagall, Healer Poppy Pomfrey, and Groundskeeper Rubeus Hagrid allow me to introduce to you the heads of the Morinozuka and Haninozuka families of Japan." The two families bowed towards them making them follow in example.

"Master Goblin may I inquire as to the meaning of this meeting?" Albus asked as he took his seat while Hagrid was offered an enchanted chair to allow for his girth.

"Hours ago..." Ragnarok went on to tell those gathered the story behind the contract that was to take place between the families.

"...and so we come to the very purpose of this meeting. Heiress Potter must be handed over to the Morinozuka family to fulfill her part in this old contract." The elder goblin said and was met with silence as Dumbledore folding his hands in front of his face in deep thought.

"While I understand the reason behind this I'm afraid it isn't possible." Dumbledore said and was met with shock from the British in the room while the Goblins looked irritated.

The Morinozuka head merely raised an eyebrow at the elder wondering what he could possibly have in mind. "And why is that Dumbledore-san?" Lady Morinozuka asked while keeping her face devoid of emotion.

"Lady Morinozuka no offense to you or your family but it would be in the best interest of all if Violet was raised by her family. The spells and protections that were established by Lily Potter upon her death demand that she be housed with a blood relative to activate them. I believe that it would be best to place Violet under the care of her only remaining relative Petunia Dursley."

"Are you mad?!" Remus demanded as he rose to his feet glaring at the man in question.

"Petunia and her husband have shown nothing but a great hatred of Magic and all those able to use the gift. Placing Violet in such an environment would do nothing but cause her great harm." Remus said never turning away from the man.

"Do you believe Heiress Potter would be abused by these Dursleys?" Ragnarok asked.

"Emotionally at the very least and sexually at the very worst." Remus growled making Ragnarok's eyes harden and growl while everyone looked at Dumbledore was off his rocker.

"It matters not. Even if you would wish to place Violet with another family according to the contract it would kill her to do so." Lady Morinozuka said making the entire room go deadly silent before she spoke again.

"According to a clause in the contract should it be activated but one family not follow the conditions they will lose their magic and their wealth. Since young Violet is still under the age of 7 if she were to lose her magic she would die." She said making Dumbledore realize he had almost acted rashly and possibly killed the one meant to save their country.

"Then there is no choice Violet must go to Japan." Remus said as he regained his seat.

"Indeed but I would request that she be regularly visited to gain a progress report of sorts to check on her life while overseas." Dumbledore stated before anyone could argue against the point he continued.

"Violet Potter is the daughter of one of our Ancient and Most Noble houses. If she were to completely fall off the face of our world other families might see it as a ploy to gain her political power." He finished looking towards the Morinozuka heads before they conversed with the second family with them before the blond haired man spoke up.

"And what guarantee do we have that the one giving the report would be truthful instead of giving outrageous lies in order to steal Violet-chan away?" He asked making those gathered nod in agreement since it was possible someone would try and bribe said reporter to gain a means to remove her from the Morinozuka household.

"Lord...?"

"Haninozuka. The Morinozuka family has been in our service since the feudal times of our country." The blond haired man said making the group blink.

"A vessel family? That won't be well received with most of the pureblood families." Dumbledore thought before Remus spoke up.

"Lord Haninozuka the answer is simple really. Each time the reporter comes before our body of Government they take a vial of Truth Potion brewed by a ministry appointed potions master/mistress. They will have no choice but to give nothing but the truth each time they report. Also to make sure no immunity is built up we use a different reporter each year." Remus proposed he was met with nods and murmurs of agreement.

"Very we shall call that mattered settled. Now comes the reason why you were called Mr. Lupin." Ragnarok said making those gathered once more face the elder goblin.

"Lily Potter's company. Evans Healing is in need of one to handle the running of the company until such a time as Violet Potter is able to take over, or decide to name someone else to handle the running of the company. Her will has named you as the CEO of her company until such a time comes." Ragnarok said making Remus blink in surprise before he gained a thoughtful look.

"What of my sickness? I can't take over a company where people would turn away from it just because a werewolf runs it." Remus asked.

"Since it is located in the muggle world there is no law that dictates that you cannot take over the company." Ragnarok stated before Lady Morinozuka spoke up again.

"If I may propose something?" She asked making everyone look at her again.

"If you were to take the company and move it to Japan you could not only keep a close eye on Violet yourself but there is a community of were-creatures located in Karuizawa. I believe there you can learn how to control your inner wolf Mr. Lupin and allow you to preform your duties without an worries of the moon." Remus gained a thoughtful look upon his face as he mulled her words in his mind.

"I like the sound of it. Plus if I am giving regular reports of Violet's life there will be no need for the Ministry to appoint someone to travel to the country to check on Violet." Remus said making Ragnarok nod.

Eventually details were decided before Lord took his second son while his wife accepted Rose from Madame Pomfrey. The Lady smiled at the bright green eyes that stared back at her in wonder before she carried her over towards the slightly older children.

"Boys there is someone important for you to meet." She said to the young children in their native language making them pay attention to her. She smiled at little Mitsukuni the heir of the Haninozuka family and the young man her own son Takashi Morinozuka would be in charge of looking after.

"Takashi-kun this is Potter Violet. Your betrothed." Takashi looked at her before looking at Violet as she set the one year old on her own two feet. Takashi walked up to Violet who looked up at the taller boy before she smiled at him.

"Tenshi." Takashi said making his mother giggle behind her sleeve as Violet blinked in confusion since she didn't know the word.

However the young girl shrugged it off as she walked forward and hugged the boy making him blush as she spoke for the first time since they met her.

"Taka!" She said making Lady Morinozuka giggle again at the bright red on her sons cheeks.

"Violet this is Mitsukuni your future cousin." Lady Morinozuka said once the girl had released the taller boy.

Violet looked at the little blond boy as he hugged her. "Vi-chan!"

"Mitsu!" The pair called as they hugged making Takashi smile a small smile at the pair making his mother smile as well.

She rose to her feet knowing that the children were going to be good friends. Also once Violet was trained up she knew she would have a strong Daughter-in-law who would give her strong grandchildren.

The afternoon sun was well in the air before the Morinozuka and Haninozuka families departed from England and it's shores taking with them little Violet. Violet was holding Takashi's hand along with her future mother-in-laws smiling brightly excited for the next adventure her life would bring.

So this is just the prologue of this story I hope you stick with it and enjoy it. R&R Ja Ne.
