AN: Hi guys! Surpirse! You won't actually be waiting for months for me to update!

I wanted to say thank you to everyone's kind words and support! Especially those who went and actually bought me Kofi! It really lessened the stress i'm under evry little help really counts. Specially since i know some of you might be experiencing this too so thank you! I wish you guys all the best!

Again my Ko-Fi is /jarvadqreader give me a visit and maybe buy me a Kofi! I'm also answering questions there so just leave me a message!

To the guest reviewer, I don't know if you'll still read this story update since you didn't seem to like my story but just to clarify, Harry dressing up as a female wasn't meant to spread negativity. I'm just showing their interactions and how they grow from their personalities so please don't take it personally whatever happens in the story. As for the muscles, its not like I'm making him wimpy or anything I just fully believe that having magic is such a hack for them because not a truly powerful magical will become obese because of how much energy magic consumes. It's a theory i have you see and this is based on a manga where, I'm sad to say not many powerful males are shown powerfully muscled so i got caught up in that and didn't make it seem like Harry actually had toned muscles. anyway i hope this clarifies any questions you might have like the guest reviewer's!

Thank you again to all those who left reviews! You guys always brighten my day!

They all relocated to the living room in shock at Harry's announcement who at that point was practically catatonic.

Even his first card friends had materialized, Shadow was cradling him amorphously making Harry look like a human sized teddy bear while Watery was as close to fretting over their human as the usually haughty card being did.

The others were looking concerned but somewhat amused at the scene while Eriol took the letter and finally started translating it in full.

By the end of it Toya was looking fully angry and glaring at the letter as if he could set it on fire. "They can't actually do that, can they? That's practically extortion!"

Eriol hummed thoughtfully tapping his fingers rhythmically at his armrests, "I'm not too familiar with this Goblet of Fire, but from what I know of those kinds of artifacts it may very well be true. Specially if they somehow got a hold of your blood, Harry-kun."

Harry was too stunned to answer and Yukito finally had to nudge Watery to snap him out of it. Who, to the giggles of the girls huffed and dragged her wet hands over his face.

It definitely worked though as it snapped Harry awake enough to splutter and glare weakly at Watery, even Shadow was now swaying somewhat in amusement.

"What? What did you say?" Harry asked trying to get off of Shadow who did not in fact let him go. Stubbornly holding on to his human ignoring the slight glare the older Kinomoto gave him.

Eriol looked amused and wistful at the same time as he reiterated, "Your blood, Harry-kun. They could only do that if they somehow got a hold of your blood. Magical essence eventually fades to the magic of the earth and besides they also change somewhat as you grow. Blood though, remains constant unless treated with a truly magical substance like Phoenix tears directly in the blood stream perhaps."

Harry grimaced, "They might have some while I was younger then. Probably back when I was a little more than a year old, they didn't have any other contact with me after that. I'm also relatively sure that the Albus Dumbledore that's headmaster of one of those schools is in fact the same headmaster that left me on the doorstep of my relatives house."

Toya's eyebrow twitched as he muttered, "Doorstep?" However Eriol's somewhat disgusted query took their attention, "Why would they have interest in you as a year old, Harry-kun? That's blood theft, on a baby no less, it's definitely no small matter if they would do so heinous a crime."

Sakura looked confused, "Hoe? Why would it be that bad Eriol-kun?"

It was Yue's voice who answered this time, eerily out of Yukito's gentle countenance, his words sharp, "Blood is sacred to every magical Sakura. Blood theft is one of the worst crimes they could do to each other. Even in medical procedures, blood is not just drawn out of them like with the non-magicals. Rarely do they have legal or safe practices that would involve a magicals blood."

Spinel yawned, his deep voice intoning, sounding a bit bored, "Because then, this happens. With blood in play any contract or ritual could be done to the owner since it does not need verbal consent for them to be affected by those. You could sign away someone's life with enough blood, magic and will."

Harry sighed looking disgruntled, "Then they definitely used my blood, I'm sure they would be willing to go through any repercussion just to make me go back to England."

Toya looked annoyed, "Why would they do that to you midget? Don't tell me it's because of your bloodline as the four-eyed brat told us."

Eriol twitched at the insult while Harry just smirked, "Try defeating their Dark Lord, Jerk."

They all looked surprised by that before Syaoran's eyes grew wider in awe, "You mean the Dark Lord that terrorized Europe? Mother had told us how unfortunate Europe was to go through two Dark Lords in a century. It practically wiped out almost 60% of the vaunted bloodlines of the West. She told us that was the folly of your powers, how easily the most powerful of you could change the course of the world. The rest of the magical community had held its breath, waiting for either the new Dark Lord to be dealt with or for him to win but one day, someone got him. Someone ended their war. Rebounding the Killing Curse, magic that can't be blocked by any magical mean and ending the Dark Lord. She said a baby had done it and we couldn't believe it when she told us the story when we were kids but news of him traveled. They called him—"

"—the Boy-Who-Lived." Harry finished looking thoughtfully at Syaoran's starstruck eyes before sighing, "Yes. I'm that baby who survived the impossible to survive Killing Curse. I am not sure how I could have done it, I believe my parents, likely my mother, did something that made the curse rebound. But that's how the story went in that world. It was believed enough that I had gotten kidnapped in revenge back in Paris. That title had bought me nothing but trouble and I was only ever mostly relieved that I had not gotten a letter to attend Hogwarts, likely because I was already in Hong Kong when I reached my eleventh birthday. See what it does? Because they likely wanted to know what happened to me, they've now forced me to go back in Britain or lose my magic, regardless of what kind of life I may have been leaving behind."

They all looked solemn and upset on his behalf but Eriol lightly shook his head, "There's nothing much we can do about it now, Harry-kun. We'll just take this as the opportunity that it is. Just in time before your seventeenth birthday as well."

The others nodded in agreement while Harry looked gobsmacked, "Wait, what do you mean 'we'?"

Yukito chuckled, "You don't really expect us to leave you alone in this right? We'll always be with you Ri-chan."

Nodding Toya smirked, "Besides, you'll need all the help you can get those guys sound like a bunch of idiots anyway."

Eriol nodded, clapping once as excitement shown in his eyes, "And, as you've said this also neatly ties off Syaoran-kun's problem and now you are technically licensed to make a school yourself! We'll just need to read more books for clarification once we get to Britain! Imagine what we could do with building our own school!"

Everyone looked shock at this alarming show of excitement from the normally calm reincarnated teen and Harry was looking thoroughly alarmed, "Wait, what?"

Eriol's smile only grew wide as the light shown on his glasses glossing it over and they all felt a shiver up their spines.

This was either going to be really good and really bad.

It just depends on for whom.

00000

Harry nervously tapped on his armrests, nervous about being on a plane to head to England.

The past few days had been hectic, Eriol was looking gleeful while plotting something. He still has not in fact, spilled on what his plans were but he was apparently needing more information. Information which they'll get once they're on Gringotts, the magical bank in Britain.

Harry was nervous as well as curious at what the reincarnated teen had in mind, not really too worried since for the past few weeks he had already figured out that while arrogant, egotistic, know-it-all, smug and a schemer Eriol was rarely purely maliscious. He wasn't likely to do them harm not even while he was testing Sakura. Besides, he figured out that after being thrown of his high horse and all his schemes for centuries apparently for naught, he deserved a scheme going right if its for the good of them all right?

"Can you calm down, midget? You've been tapping the armrests ten minutes ago and you've only been doing it faster since." Toya grumbled trying to get comfortable on his seat.

Yukito on the other hand chuckled as he held Harry's hands still, "I think Ya-chan's just getting nervous, Ri-chan. It's his first time after all."

Harry thought that through before staring at the dark haired teen who looked a bit flushed, "What?!" the other barked and Harry relaxed a bit smirking, "Don't worry Jerk, we won't crash. I've got you."

Grumbling Toya tsked, "Who said anything about being worried?"

Harry helpfully pointed out, "Your leg's shaking."

The three of them looked at Toya's legs which were shaking the slightest amount and Toya stammered, "W-what are you talking about? It's not."

The other turned away from them and Harry and Yukito looked at each other mirthfully. Yukito had to add, "No worries Ya-chan, I'm sure Yu-chan will catch you while Ri-chan's card friends won't let anything happen to him."

Toya turned to them, his eyes narrowing the slightest bit, now reluctantly somewhat amused, "Yue will huh? And the brats?"

It was Yue who answered this time his voice ever cold but his eyes the slightest bit warmer, "I can handle you. I'm sure the two beasts and the worm can handle the kids."

Snickering Harry had to ask, "And Eriol-kun?"

A dismissive sniff was all the answer Yue gave before Yukito was more present with a chuckle, "That answers that, I suppose."

Now laughing Harry had to ask, "And the rest of the passengers?"

Toya, now much more relaxed teased, flapping his hands once, "You've got them midget."

Shaking his head Harry asked, "How exactly did we get to discussing contingency plans if the plane crashes—which it won't—from talking about Toya's first time on a plane."

Yukito nudged the other, "You were really nervous then Harry-chan. What's wrong?"

Harry sighed also more relaxed now as said, "Why wouldn't I be? It's not exactly my choice to head back there. I'm not looking forward to stepping foot there. Then there's Eriol with his plans and we also happen to be responsible of the other three while we're there. Which I still can't believe Kinomoto-san and Daidoji-san allowed us to go there unsupervised."

Yukito nodded, looking thoughtful, "I supposed those are a lot to be worried about, but first of all, what's important is that no matter what you may face there. You're not facing it alone, Harry-chan. Eriol-san isn't likely to do anything too dangerous, he has us to keep him in check. And as for the younger ones, well look at them."

They looked at the other five, seated near them. The three younger ones were in discussion over something while Eriol added to their discussion occasionally and...Nakuru was looking at them.

Their eyes lit up at having their attention and waved at them enthusiastically as if they weren't only a few meters apart.

Harry chuckled waving back while he could've sworn he heard a mutter of 'worm'. But, when he turned back, Yukito looked the same as ever though a touch irritated, "They have each other and Keroberos and Spinel is always with them, they'll be able to hep each other before we're really needed. You're worries are valid but we're here for you anyway, ok, Harry-chan?"

Nodding Harry looked at them with somewhat shiny eyes.

00000

Harry, Yukito, Toya and Eriol were heading to the Diagon Alley bright and early in the morning. Harry had never been but his mother had wrote in her journal how to get there so it wasn't too hard to find their way.

The younger three were left with Akizuki and the two guardian beasts as they slept off their jet lag. Eriol had been itching to go to the wizarding world yesterday but as they were tired from their flight opted to go with resting first. Even though he had lived here, he was too busy figuring himself out as a reincarnated soul. Not to mention, his only family here had been an elderly grandmother who had died just before he went back to japan. Which is why he had been so ignorant of the changes in the wizarding world.

He had basically been too busy living in his future-past that he forgot to live in the present. To be honest it relieved something in Harry to see the other at least enjoying his life living right now. Even though it essentially boiled down to being entertained by Harry's life.

Taking a deep breath he finally found the Leaky Cauldron and he couldn't help but quirk his lips in a mixture of disgust and amusement. His mother's description of the place was actually spot on, a dirty dingy pub that did not seem magical at all if not for the fact that any one who was up right now didn't pay any attention to the hazard of a building.

Its been years and nothing seemed to have changed in that pub.

Sighing he turned to his companions, "Alright, cloaks out. Its better if we're not recognized. I'll take point."

The other three nodded taking out their cloaks but before they could enter Toya quickly squeezed the younger's nape, "Take it easy brat, this isn't a military operation. Relax, you're not alone."

Nodding Harry straightened but relaxed his stiff posture. He headed inside and while the barman looked ready to greet them Harry's hooded head nodded at the man genially while striding confidently to the back door.

Before anyone could say anything about the dirty place he quickly tapped with his fingers, and a bit of magic the bricks his mother had pointed out.

The archway appeared and for a moment he took in the amazing view.

It was just as his mother described. Still as magical even if bare, Yukito's soft awe made him smile a bit before the leaning white building caught his attention.

"We'll sight see later—come on, I see the bank."

Heading to the bank Harry saw the goblins guarding the building first before reading the warning for thieves. The two eyed their party suspiciously but still let them in.

Nervous but resolute, Harry swiftly walked to a free teller.

"How may Gringotts be of service, Wizard." Was the sneering greeting of the goblin.

Harry gathered his courage and all the haughty indignation he had, comforted by his card friends and the presence of his companions, before pulling off his hood.

He sneered back at the goblin, nudging a bit at the Voice in askance to make his voice have more presence, "Goblin. I am here to talk with the Potter Account manager. Before you utter something I am positive you will only regret, yes I will be willing to take the most comprehensive Inheritance Test you have to prove my identity. Then we'll talk about Gringotts…derelict of duty."

The goblin looked offended but thought better of whatever he might have responded with. Thankfully heading them through a very confusing set of halls. Upon reaching an apparently significant door with gobbledegook written on it. They entered to see an aging goblin sat at a massive desk. They conversed first in their own language before the teller swiftly left the room.

The older gobbling regarded them with scrutinizing eyes, "You must know how expensive our most thorough Inheritance Ritual is. Are you sure of your decision, Wizard."

Nodding Harry could't help but swallow a bit. "Yes account manager. I am sure. I'll need all these documentation. I'm nearing my seventeenth birthday already."

The older goblin's eyes glinted and he nastily grinned, "Very well, I am the Potter Account Manager Slashjaw. If you are the missing Potter Heir then the fee will be taken from your accounts."

Another goblin quietly came in and set a tray of items in front of the desk before leaving.

On the tray was a potion, a crystal bowl that actually seemed to be made of just one giant diamond, a knife and a parchment. Each one was unique even the parchment and Harry could definitely feel the magic in them. In the corner of his eyes he could see Yukito's eyes and hand twitch with the need to examine it and he couldn't quite suppress his smile.

Slashjaw looked at him through narrow eyes before intoning, "Drink that. Once you feel as if you are burning make a cut and pour your blood into the bowl until its full."

He was about to do that before Toya stopped him and asked coldly, "Define burning."

Harry started at that before turning to Slashjaw who sneered, "As if he's burning from the inside out human."

Toya glared, confident even in the face of his limited English skills, "No side effects?"

Slashjaw grumbled, "No. We're not allowed to permanently harm wizards, Human. Now, if we could get on with this. We're wasting time and time, is money."

Harry nodded, squeezing Toya's arm in gratefulness for his worry but he went through with it. He drank the potion and the burning sensation really was as if he was burning from the inside out. He shuddered but didn't let out a sound before taking the knife and calmly making a cut in his arm and letting the blood pour out and fill the bowl. When it reached the top his hand was gently taken by Yukito who healed the cut and vanished the blood. Nodding in thanks he saw as the goblin almost roll his eyes before taking the bowl with thongs made for the it and pour the blood to the parchment.

It unraveled by itself and he watched as the blood came alive to write itself in the parchment, glowing gold letters.

He was barely able to even read the writing before the goblin snatched it as soon as it stopped glowing. Examining its contents the goblin looked stiff before nodding.

"Everything seems in order Heir Potter."

Harry took the parchment and held it out for the others to read as well.

Harry was shocked at the number of Houses in his name but what definitely caught his attention was, "My mother's not a muggleborn?"

The goblin looked stone-faced now, "It seems she is not Heir Potter."

Harry looked dumbfounded but a nudge from Eriol snapped him out of it and he straightened, "Regardless Slashjaw, now that my heritage had been confirmed, we need to discuss Gringotts transgressions against my...Houses."

Slashjaw snarled, "Trangressions, Heir Potter? Do you mean your lack of replies and concern of your own...Houses?"

Harry looked confused, "My lack of replies? I have not received a single missive from Gringotts. Nor have my guardians, Slashjaw."

Now even Slashjaw was confused.

Eriol cleared his throat and calmly interjected, "I believe, Account Manager Slashjaw, that this may have been the work of someone else. You employ excellent Curse Breakers do you not? Perhaps someone can take a look at Heir Potter."

Slashjaw looked furious and wrote something on a parchment before placing it in a drawer. A moment later a knock sounded from the door and a wizard stepped in the room. He looked nondescript with brown hair and eyes but his countenance was stern and serious as he faced Slashjaw, "You have need of me Account Manager Slashjaw."

"Curse Breaker Williams. Sign our standard privacy contract then we'll discuss our needed service from you."

Williams nodded heading to the desk, he scanned the document handed to him before signing it and handed the contract to Harry. He scanned it and noting how his identity and dealings were protected signed it as well.

Slashjaw nodded before waving a hand to Harry, "I need you to do a cursory scan on Heir Potter."

Williams eyes widened in shock but he remained professional, nodding as he took out his wand and waved it in a pattern as he chanted a spell in low murmur.

The Curse Breaker's eyes narrowed in disbelief and anger, "Heir Potter, you have been cursed a number of times and at a young age at that. A mail redirection ward, a concealment spell, even a power blocking one. You've been subjected to a blood ward that broke when you were younger. It had dampened a lot of your magical power then, draining it a lot more that usual. There's also a residue of dark magic in your scar. It must have been when the Killing Curse rebounded, other dark magic seemed to have been done to conceal and keep you hidden. It's a wonder your magic had grown so much even in the heaviness of all these magic Heir Potter."

Harry's eyes were angry and with gritted teeth he asked, "Can you find out who did it?"

Williams shook his head, "That would be impossible now Heir Potter. The magic had been done so long ago, no significant magical identifier could be detected."

Harry couldn't help but close his eyes trying to calm himself down and he was thankful for Toya and Yukito's hands on him, he even felt Yue's brand of magic nudge him in comfort. It was Eriol who talked to the Curse Breaker, "Can you remove it then, Curse Breaker Williams? And the mail redirection one, can we find out where the mail had been redirected?"

Williams nodded, "Yes it may take time and some potions but we can clear Heir Potter of the unwanted magic on him. As for locating the missing mail, the only way we would really be able to track all of them is have a mail sent to you through Gringotts and have an owl or maybe a house elf track it to the others."

Sharpjaw interjected, "We will handle the tracking of the mail, free of charge. We should let Curse Breaker Williams finish his job before discussing anything else about Heir Potter's accounts and the reason you are back now."

Nodding, Harry agreed and they proceeded to break the magic on him.

00000

It took hours before Harry was mostly cleared of the foreign magic on him, but he was told the rest would dissipate with time. He didn't know he was feeling heavy until the indescribable weight was gone. As if he could breath easier than before.

Thankfully throughout all the procedures the others were with him. Eriol remained contemplative the whole time with a furrow in his brows that indicated his discontent with what they were finding out today.

It was already nearing lunch time before they finished discussing about his accounts. Instead of heading back to the hotel, they took some books from each Vault first and the statements of his accounts before they quickly went to get food and headed back to the others.

The others were nervously talking to each other when they got back. Toya had signaled for them to wait after eating to talk about their meeting. They only had quiet conversations with each other and right after eating and cleaning up the others were nervously waiting for someone to talk.

Eriol was the first to talk, his voice calm, "Harry-kun had been spelled to have no contact with that world. He was meant to be isolated from them. We managed to fix it and found exactly what he seem to mean to their world."

Keroberos looked to be on the edge of his seat already, looking to rip the cloth he was gritting with his teeth, "Well?! Just say it faster!"

Eriol chuckled, "Well, there seemed to have been a lot more ulterior motives to the British's bid to get him here. Apparently elections are about to come up again, and the last minister had been impeached for losing the Boy-Who-Lived. The current Minister wants the Boy-Who-Live back, not only to strengthen his position but because when a Pureblood's Main Line doesn't have a confirmed Heir or Lord at seventeen years of age, it goes to a branch family which just so happen to be a distant relative in America and all the wealth will go to him. Making Britain lose a Pureblood Family and their vaunted hero at that."

The others looked shocked at the information and Harry added, "They've been trying to instate the Triwizard Tournament for years now, ever since I've been missing and of age to be entered in that tournament, the youngest ever contestant was fourteen. They were willing to enter me even at that age just to have me back here."

Toya looked disgusted as he said, "Contestants have died in that tournament before but apparently the Goblet of Fire, a powerful artifact had been spelled long before to be only used for that tournament. They definitely figured that the only way to truly track the midget was through the Goblet. Because it sets a contract that is unbreakable and has no need for verbal consent. With being contracted to the Tournament they then had a connection they could follow to send a letter to the midget and force him to come back here."

Yukito sighed looking solemn, "Not only that but a war seemed to be brewing in this country, there had been rumors of their Dark Lord's return but no actual sightings yet. Though crimes had definitely risen. People are getting nervous here, they consider Harry-chan a ray of hope you could say and there's been a lot of complaints and demands for his return or location."

They all looked thoroughly shocked now but Keroberos couldn't help but exclaim, "You got all that from one visit to the bank?!"

It broke the solemn tension as Harry chuckled, "Well, we met a rather well informed Curse Breaker wizard there as well. The bank also had a lot to inform us so we weren't blind sided by coming here. Luckily for us I have numerous statements of accounts and numerous books we could make use of before we're required to show ourselves for the Weighting of Wand ceremony. It'll be useful as because of their entering me in this tournament, I am officially an adult. Instead of waiting till next year for my seventeenth birthday I have to deal with all that entails right now."

Eriol nodded, smiling at the younger three, "And because of their actions we can actually establish an actual school of magic through Harry-kun's name. With more reading of their laws I'm sure I can find ways to give us the advantage for that mistake on their part."

Sakura looked dumbfounded, "You mean we're not just using that to help Syaoran-kun stay here but we can make it real too?"

Toya smirked, "We can. We can even make official credentials in this so call school of ours that will be accepted in the legal system of the magical world and with a few more ways the non-magical world too."

Tomoyo couldn't help the dazed expression on her face as she held her face, "Uwah—they really made a mistake in that huh?"

Toya's smirk only widened, "And we'll take full advantage of it."

Looking concerned Sakura had to ask, "Is that really ok nii-san?"

Keroberos was only indignant as he finally got some sweets to snack on, "Kah—of course it's fine! Don't you remember they're the ones forcing Harry here! What if he gets injured in that stupid tournament? Or this war that's apparently brewing here! What if he gets involved in that huh?!"

They all turned to Harry who was looking away from them and it was Akizuki who had to ask, "Nee—Harry-sensei—what do you plan to do?"

Harry looked conflicted as his gaze jumped from one to another at them, "I really don't know yet. I don't like being forced into this but this is still the world my Parents had loved. I don't know about totally abandoning it but we can just take this one at a time right?"

Toya hummed eyeing the other critically, "We can do that midget, but you just have to be sure of whatever decision you make. We'll be here for you anyway."

Sighing, Harry nodded, "I know. Besides, I don't even know how to handle all theses titles I suddenly have. I only wanted to be a Pediatrician. These weren't part of my plans at all."

Eriol agreed reading through some of his statements already, that while Harry wasn't totally comfortable of his access to it he also knew Eriol was probably the only one who would have some idea about it, "Not to mention we have some people to contact soon too, you have two Godparents mentioned. And as far as I remember with what you guys have said you've never met any of them."

Groaning Harry slumped in his chair, "Right. Still way too much to do and only about two weeks till the Wand Weighing Ceremony. We never got to actually do anything this Halloween because of how busy we were and now this thing's going to ruin our time till Christmas, then New Year- "

Toya just gently bonked his head, "Idiot—who says its ruined? We're all together right? We get to go on another country, learn new magic and were even about to see an actual magical castle. Circumstances are bad but this is far from being ruined."

Harry stared at Toya's soft eyes, and couldn't help but flush, "Right, thanks Ya-chan."

Toya's brows ticked at the nickname. Ans Yukito couldn't help but chuckle. At least the midget wasn't worrying so bad now.

00000

The days following their visit from the bank was busy.

For one thing, Harry let the others decide what tourist spots they went to, their research binge didn't mean there were no breaks so he let them have their fun and enjoyed being out and about with them. Finally making good memories in this place.

They steered clear of where the Dursleys might live now, which he was sure was in Marge's place and instead enjoyed the mini vacation they had before being in the midst of politics and dangerous situations again.

Their trips to the magical world was far more cautious and limited. Ensuring that no one would spot them since they knew people were probably on the look out for Harry. Especially after the blaring headlines in the magical newspaper.

Instead Gringotts had given them a portkey to use so they would arrive in the bank directly before heading out to the shops if they needed to.

Unfortunately or not, depending on who you asked they were all taking a trip to the shops with actual shopping sprees in mind. Once they saw what the magical sector had to offer only then will they visit the non-magical ones for anything they might be missing.

Their visit to the castle included the chance to attend the classes in Hogwarts as well, so they needed some supplies. They couldn't ask for the school's shopping list but they could just order some after they're at Hogwarts already.

The younger ones were excited, including Keroberos, Eriol and Akizuki. The rest on the other hand were more worried.

Namely because of Harry.

"All right, does everyone have what they need? The keys I gave you, do you have it secured?" Harry fretted checking everyone over again.

It was Tomoyo who had to calm the other again, "Yes, Harry-kun we have it. Though I told you Mama would be happy to halve the expenses with you. I don't really need one."

Harry just shook his head, "No, it's fine. I have way more money than I would know what to do with it. At least they would be put to good use with you guys instead of gathering dust in my vaults."

Tomoyo just sighed nodding. Harry now instead, was checking over the wooden bracelets that Wood had grown for them. It was inscribed with runes for concealment and notice-me-nots. A particular bit of magic that Eriol had been interested in seeing as he had not tried using the cards for more than their basic functions. Shield again, was once more active with the help of the Twin and Erase. It was a combination that worked to shield them from scrutiny and erase their presence almost completely. They wouldn't be noticed even if they were right in front of someone unless they called out to be assisted.

Eriol's eyes were once again bright at the new ways his cards were being used. Harry just smiled at the other, though draining it was worth it for their safety.

He couldn't hold it for the whole day, unless he wanted to pass out but hopefully then wouldn't take too long shopping.

00000

Of course the shopping wasn't quick.

It had been an hour and Tomoyo, Sakura, Akizuki, Keroberos and surprisingly enough Yue who was speaking through Yukito were still browsing the cloths and styles at Twilfitt and Tatting's. All for uniforms.

Toya groaned throwing his head back on the couch, "Maybe we should've split up instead midget. This is taking too long."

Harry shook his head, looking weary as he stroked Spinel's back who had been getting unbearable in his grumbling for the last few minutes they took longer in the clothes shop. "We can't that's too unsafe."

Eriol chuckled, "Indeed, and they seem to be enjoying their arguing even if the owners seem close to tearing their hair out."

Syaoran grumbled, looking like he was sulking and trying to disappear in the bulk of the comfortable couches, "Tomoyo isn't going to give up. She won't be satisfied until she's the one actually making the uniform."

Harry sighed, finally standing up and heading to the arguing group, "Tomoyo-chan, how about you buy their catalogs and perhaps their fabrics. You can design our clothes yourself instead. Then we can pay the good Madam and Sir for the enchantment of your clothes."

Tomoyo's eyes lit up but Madam Twilfitt looked offended, "Nonsense, you won't get fashion like ours from someone so young and untrained with the cuts and styles of robes! Why, I don't think she knows what would be the appropriate attires for different occasions or rituals!"

Sighing again Harry nodded, "I see, Madam. Then how about you keep on correspondence with Tomoyo-chan and give her some references? It's not an apprenticeship and I highly doubt that she will keep on bothering you and we'll pay for your services. Every missive you answer to, we'll pay for the use of your valuable time and again a fee for the enchantment of our clothing. Her designs will be patented though and no using of anything she does outside of her permission."

Mister Tatting sighed, "Very well, but that is an exorbitant amount of money. Are you sure of your decision young man."

Harry nodded taking out his Key, connected to a specific Vault he set aside just for spending on shopping. "Set the contracts and do as Tomoyo-chan says, I'll pay the bill upfront."

The two's eyes widened at the key knowing that the truly rich of Ancient and Noble Families had them but they couldn't place who these crowd would belong to. The only thing that stood out among them were their genders. Other than that it seemed as if details about them just slipped their minds.

"Very well, all right miss what-"

Tomoyo shot him a delighted smile but and Harry nodded at her smiling along with the others with her arguing, "Go on then, pick the styles you want and let's head out of here. We have Potion Supplies next."

Returning to the seated others Toya grumbled at him, "You couldn't have done that earlier?"

Harry sniffed, "I didn't actually think on it until Syaoran-kun told us about Tomoyo-chan. Come on, they're finishing up already, I knew they must have already chosen what they wanted they just couldn't settle on the styles the store uses."

After a few minutes they finally headed out to the Potions Supplies store which, considering the limited and outdated supplies Harry had had, made them giddy to experiment. Namely Toya and Syaoran actually.

Harry sighed, "Off you go then."

Thankfully it didn't take them too long to buy and set up the things they wanted. Harry wondered if they were setting up steady supplies from each store they would be visiting today. He knew Tomoyo had even asked for the sewing machines they used and was answered that, surprise surprise, they did all of their sewing by magic.

He already knew what the girl would definitely be researching after this.

Their next stop were footwear, which was as bland as ever, considering how much non-magical styles varied, much like the robes shop with only a few styles of footwear. There wasn't a single rubber shoes, nor were there slippers or sandals of any kind. Everything they wore were boots.

Exotic skins and materials yes but all boots.

Eriol looked completely offended, "I think I'll join you Tomoyo-chan in making proper footwear."

They then headed to the luggage store where, knowing about his parents trunks they were eager for customized ones of their own.

Harry bought each one of them a four compartment trunk, the first for their usual supplies, the second for their clothes, the third and fourth however were connected small rooms that they could use to have privacy for a while and a place to do their hobbies.

The price of course was expensive. Really, expensive, thus the numerous objections they had but Harry was adamant. They needed those for the things they could always have with them. It had so many security charms and such that it would take three days before all their orders were done.

"I wonder if we could connect each trunk to a central room or something though? I mean it could be a room all our own." Harry wondered.

The shop owner shook his head with a smile at his big sale today and said, "It's not possible, young man. Numerous enchanters have tried that for centuries but there just isn't a way yet to connect two different wizarding spaces to each other like that. I mean not even in tents, it has not been done yet."

Harry only hummed already thinking about Loop and how he could definitely do something about it.

For now they all bought their own satchels for their every day use and off they went to buy their stationary needs.

Where of course they were disappointed to find a distinct lack of variety and proper pens to use.

Sakura had to ask the attendant, "Excuse me sir, why are there no pens?" Thankfully the goblins had provided a useful earring and necklace pair that allowed them to understand and speak English, writing on the other hand, they would have to do learn manually. And learning to use the quills on display would definitely only make it harder.

The attendant was a younger person someone only a few years older than Toya actually and answered the query patiently, "Muggleborn, huh? A lot of you have asked that and I myself asked the owner but you see the plastic used in muggle pens are no conduit. Unlike the treated quills we use. They retain a bit of magic the person writing it has, it helps the owls you see, identify the location of people. Along with the parchment we use. They're natural agents of magic you see, helping when they must be enchanted unlike muggle pen and paper which had been processed too much for much magic to be of use."

The explanation while lengthy definitely explained a lot more about the usage of outdated tools they had and served to emphasize just how different muggle-or well non-magical culture is from the magical ones.

With this new understanding they bought their supplies and Yukito even became interested in actually making a pen they could use. The journals were too expensive for just note taking and it was too hard to keep on cutting parchment and binding them but Yukito promised to find a solution for that so just bought more of the items they needed to experiment on.

They then headed to the bookstore where of course, they all went wild at searching for books. They made sure to choose books they didn't already have and that they didn't pick two of same books but they definitely had fun choosing the books they wanted, even getting some free books from the shop owner along with a catalog.

They headed to the Magical Menagerie, their last stop in Diagon Alley.

They were only going to buy two owls but they all found themselves curious of the different magical animals.

Before Harry could even so much as look at the pets a snowy white owl came out of nowhere to land on his shoulder, hooting in what he was sure was reprimand.

"Um," Harry looked wide eyed and not knowing what to do. He never had a pet before and he wasn't sure if he should move or wait until one of the staff took her.

However Yukito was quick to chuckle at the adorable sight, "I think the owl is actually connected to you Ri-chan. I can definitely feel your magic resonating."

Blinking Harry was about to answer when a rather haggard attendant appeared apologizing, "I'm so sorry sir! That ruddy bird is too smart for her own good! She never stays in her cage and keeps on shooing other customers away!"

Harry interrupted before he could go on a rant, "It's ok. I'll take her."

Stopping short the attendant looked conflicted, worried but hopeful, "Are you sure sir? She's quite a handful and has always escaped everyone else who bought her."

"It's fine. I think she chose me anyway." He answered smiling a bit.

Now the attendant definitely looked relieved.

In the end he bought everything the little miss might need while the others looked for their own pets to the complain of the two beast guardians.

In the end another owl flew over to Toya even as he glared at the elder Kinomoto a black eagle-owl that looked entirely too fierce to be a possible eleven year old's pet. That is until faced with Harry and his own owl's gazes then he seemed almost soft.

"Hoe, nii-san! That owl's exactly like you!" Sakura exclaimed giggling.

The older Kinomoto just grumbled not really denying it. The younger one didn't manage to find any pet though not for the lack of trying more on because Keroberos kept chasing them away.

Unluckily for him, Tomoyo and Syaoran managed to find their own pets. Tomoyo and Syaoran managed to be chosen by the only pair of Kneazle and Crup that wasn't fighting.

The Kneazle was a beautiful grey and white that looked regal even with the somewhat comical big ears while the Crup was a black and brown one that looked rather fierce if not for always showing a doggy grin. Both were still young and both liked their two new owners and of course was just as affectionate to Sakura despite all of Keroberos' grumbling.

Curiously enough Yukito found two curious pets, another owl, a Great Grey one as the attendant informed them that had curious blue eyes and a snake.

A snake that Harry could apparently understand.

Which also made that snake bring a friend that decided Harry was now his as well.

By the time they stopped for lunch, which was not in fact in the Leaky Cauldron all Harry could say was, "What just happened?" dazed.

Eriol chuckled sipping at his tea, "I do believe you are a parselmouth, Harry-kun. You are just full of surprises."

The snake only hissed in contentment winding around his shoulders. Thankfully their concealment spells worked enough that no one paid attention to the colorful array of animals with them.

"How come I never knew I was a parselmouth though!"

Akizuki chuckled, "I don't think you had much of chance to actually find out about that sensei~"

"It's so cool though, Ri-chan! Now we'll know just what our new friends want!" Yukito said his eyes practically sparkling as he cooed over his new owl and snake.

Toya grumbled, "I don't know what got you so excited, Yuki. This owl's going to be troublesome, I just know it."

Funny enough Toya's owl, who was actually on the armrest of Harry's, wanting to be close to his own white owl slowly rotated his head to glare at the elder Kinomoto. They could definitely tell it was an intent glare compared to his usual appearance and Toya only grumbled.

Syaoran snickered, "I think you two definitely deserve each other."

"Shut up and eat brat. The day's not over yet." Toya said, rolling his eyes.

Harry sighed, "Are we sure, we're actually going to take them to Knockturn Alley? I think it would be safer for them back at the hotel."

"Stop being too overprotective, midget. That's usually my job. They're with us and they have their bracelets. We'll be fine. We need to get your focus anyway. I'm sure there's some things worthwhile in that alley. The British Magical Government seemed dumb, they labeled anything dark because of inane reasons." Toya grumbled reaching over to squeeze Harry's thigh, to the glare of his own owl at that.

Toya sighed, first the kids, then these pets? His own one at that.

He slumped feeling defeated and he could feel Yukito reach over to brush his hand over his nape.

Time. Just some more time.

They visited Knockturn alley all quiet, none of the excited chatter they had going around Diagon Alley. They needed Harry's focus and fortunately, or unfortunately depending on who you asked, his mother had actually recommended a more personalized wand hitwizards used for better control and connection.

It was an exclusive place, hidden in the Knockturn Alley so no normal witch or wizard can get more sensitively connected wands to them. A propaganda the Ministry no doubt did to keep their citizens much more weaker than their elites.

It was a quiet affair. The store being handled by an elderly witch who stared at them with narrow focused eyes but settled on Harry. Who at her beckon was taken to a separate room.

They knew about this custom so the others weren't too worried about him going by himself. It was an intensely private affair, the making of your own personalized wand so only the wandmaker and owner knew the process and the full make up of their wand.

In the end they didn't stay long in Knockturn alley because even though some stores were interesting enough and they did buy some books and curious wizarding stuff, their concealment spells, instead of making the denizens back off only made them more curious. They've countered more than a dozen spells at this point and Harry was fast losing energy.

Keroberos had to comment, "Keh-maybe they're Dark Wizards not because of anything evil but because they're too curious for their good! They probably stumbled on Dark Magic and just never left!"

They had to head back to the hotel and instead head out into the non-magical side another day.

Harry woke up early the next morning groaning, "Wha' happened?"

Beside him Toya stirred, mumbling, "Go back to sleep, midget."

Harry grumbled petulantly, "No. Tell me what happened, Jerk."

Yukito chuckled, squeezing his arms around Harry tighter making him let out a breath, "As soon as we got back in the hotel you practically passed out asleep. We couldn't even make you eat something."

Harry groaned, "Must be why I'm so hungry then."

Toya sighed, "All right, I'm going to call over some room service then, just—"

"Good morning!" Nakuru announced barging in their room.

They got adjoining rooms in the Hotel, with a main living room where it led to three spacious rooms.

One room for both girls, another for the younger males along with Nakuru and the only room left for Harry, Yukito and Toya.

Of course most of the time Nakuru just barges in their room like now.

"Aw, None of you invited me again in your cuddle pile!" Nakura announced their voice loud just to make sure that it would definitely wake them, of course.

And of course, whenever Nakuru was there, Yue was much more present. The three of them weren't still sure if this was a good thing or not.

Yue was full on showing at this point and his firmer body tightened around Harry, "Who would invite a worm like you." He said, his words icy but his hold on Harry warm.

Nakuru's eyes narrowed at the other guardian, "Sensei~ of course, specially since, good old me, brought him food."

Harry's stomach grumbled at that and his eyes widened as he saw Naruku had been dragging a trolley in and when they lifted the cover, the smell of breakfast made his stomach growl louder.

His green eyes fully turned to Yue this time, looking wide and pleading and Yue flinched, his body stiffening looking indecisive.

Toya groaned, "I can't believe we're betrayed by food." His hands then cradled Yue's stiff head and nodded at him, "Go on, let him eat. He needs the food."

Reluctantly, Yue slowly let go of his master who squeezed him in a hug in thanks before bounding over their covers to join Naruku in the small table to eat. "Thank you so much, Nakuru!"

Close to pouting now Yue sulked back till Yukito was left in his place, chuckling a bit. "He definitely hates Nakuru, a lot more than we can."

Toya sighed, "Yeah, but Nakuru hasn't been all that bad lately. I guess they're more affected because they're basically the same species."

Nodding, Yukito nudged the other, "Come on Ya-chan. Let's join them, we still can't let them hog Ri-chan's attention."

It was the day of the Wand Weighing Ceremony.

They had sent a letter of response two days ago telling them that they would arrive on the day of the Wand Weighing Ceremony itself and the normal affair of course turned into a spectacle.

They even stopped lessons for the day just to apparently welcome them in. They were scheduled to arrive just before lunch time and instead of having a smaller audience, all of Hogwarts and the visiting schools were going to be in attendance. Even some reporters.

It became an event instead. Impressive, given that they were only given two days to prepare it.

Eriol, the dramatic reincarnated soul that he was, of course set to make an impression on their hosts.

He had specifically bought a limousine.

A luxurious, big white limousine that he actually prepared just for this. The moment they had come back from the bank that first day he bought it and he had somehow had it enchanted like the cars they were told the ministry uses. It was secured, magical and expanded on the inside. Expanded enough that it would serve as their house for the duration of their stay in Hogwarts. It can be driven enough normally on the road in non-magical streets and he even bought a house elf that was going to take care of it and drive it for them.

Did he also mention it could fly?

Harry nervously paced inside their gigantic limousine in worry as they drew nearer to Hogsmeade.

The others were nervous but much more excited than he was. He only calmed down when Toya drew him next to Yukito and him to look outside where he looked in awe at Hogwarts.

His parents descriptions didn't do it justice.

It was even more magical and majestic now that he was seeing it instead of just reading about it. Their new house elf, Zack, circled them around the castle giving them the full view before slowly landing before the whole of Hogwarts and the visiting schools.

Nervously patting the amazing uniforms Tomoyo had done for them, his different from the others of course, he straightened his spine.

Before abruptly remembering, "Wait, what exactly did you name our school?"

The others smiled or chuckled at him in amusement and he couldn't help but be embarrassed. He had been so busy trying to learn more about his headship duties that he had left them to officiate their school.

Eriol smiled at him, "Don't worry about it I'm having Keroberos and Spinel Sun announce us. They'll be heading out first."

Harry blinked, "So that's why you had them transformed and groomed since early morning."

Keroberos complained, "It was such a pain Harry! I was having such a good dream! Hmpf."

Spinel huffed irritated, "Stop complaining already! What's done is done. Let's just get this over with."

Harry chuckled, his tension easing, "Right. Right. You guys ready?"

He was answered with smiles and when the door was opened by Zack, the two guardian beasts headed out first to the shocked gasps they could hear outside.

He turned to Toya and Yukito, Yue even peeking out, making Yukito look like had heterochromia. They nodded at him and squeezed his hands.

He muttered under his breath, "Showtime."
