The Cats Den (part one)

After getting yelled at and officially losing his ice cream rights, Harry decided to go to the Alleys. His legs had rested well enough to walk for a little, and Amelia had given him some pain potions.

Something that Amelia didn't like, "No! You won't go! You will stay protected at the manor until we decide what to do with you!"

"Pfff, like if I was asking for permission, I need to buy my dragonhide boots and my undies, and no one will stop me!"

Amelia sighed in frustration, she had only known Harry for two days, but the little imp had made her more panicked than her eleven years raising Susan. Thinking about how well-behaved Susan is, she decided to buy her a new pair of Herbology gloves that she wanted.

Stir, she at least could send a bodyguard with Harry, so she asked "Okey, you will go with Tonks?". Can you at least tell me where are going to be?"

Harry put a thinking pose, making his disturbingly green afro change colours.

Amelia twitched her eyebrows, she had completely ignored the afro as if her brain was just accepting the weird normality that Harry Potter was.

He kept thinking, he really needed to buy things, start to fix the store in Diagon Alley, buy a good Engraving Rune Kit, he needed to buy a lot of Zippo lighters to enchant, and more importantly, a wood pipe, his mouth was completely dry of not smoking.

Thinking about smoking, he remembers that Southern Star and Southlinch brands were still in existence, in the future both of the brands went bankrupt after Neville decided to go full-pure-blood business and start burning the pipe-weed plantations to then buy the land cheap. The fact that the bastard targeted those two brands after Ginny told him that was his favourite made it even worse!

The bastard had made his four favourites smoke extinct! Even now he couldn't forgive him!

Thinking about this, he makes another mental note to buy land with his hopeful soon fortune, wine and pipe-weed that was the paradise!

He also needed to go to Offish Alley and speak with the Tonks. Thinking about the Tonks, he supposed that it would not be a bad idea to have her as a bodyguard.

Still, he was an old man, so he had his right to complain about everything. The plus of having an eleven-year-old body and being an orphan had added more to his right of complaining.

"I don't want a bodyguard! I don't need it!"

"Is not a bodyguard, is a babysitter! I won't have you running around doing who knows what!

"And tell me what stores you visit, please"

Harry pouted, inside he was enjoying Amy's face, being old and making people frustrated wasn't going to get boring any time soon. "I'm going to Tonks to start the preparations for the Sirius trial, I need Runes for enchanting, Ward stones, wood pipe, Weed, and-"WHAT!"-weed…and"

"You are not going to start smoking! You are eleven, for Merlin's sake!"

Harry grumbled, "You speak as if we are not magical that can cure literally everything"

Amelia's eyes twitched while thinking 'Why can the brat not be normal and just whine for a new broom!'

"You can't smoke!"

"Okeeey…"

"…You are going to buy it anyway, right?" Amelia was massaging his face, she really needed a vacation.

"Yep"

"Sigh, don't smoke in front of Susan, or I will beat your scrawny ass! Don't taste me, Potter!"

Harry nodded his head, he was three centuries old, but Susan was really a brat, and he didn't need a brat high on weed-pipe. Honestly, this was a good excuse for him to stop smoking, but old habits died hard, and he missed making Smoke animations. He also had some nice Smoke Spells to use with his pipe. He had thought that if he was going to get old, he might go full sage with it. That and a great movie had convinced him that great wizards need to smoke.

"Promise!"

Amelia scowled and asked "What else are you going to buy? A Dragon?"

Harry snorted, he had tried to have a dragon for a pet, it wasn't as fun as it sounded, "No, I need to start repairing the Potter shop of my grandfather, speak with Malkin's about the pictures, but more things need the help of Ted Tonks.

"Hoo right, I want to ask for an Auror grade wand holsters"

Amelia raised a brow at that, "Why? You know that it is illegal, right?"

He snorted in response "Then I made mine, what do you think is better? Bite fingers off? Or Mandrake scream?"

"You are an insufferable brat…and I will give you one if someone asks you. You stole it!"

Harry nodded his head. He thought that having the body of a brat was great. For some reason, if he wanted to act like this while being an old man, he only got sermons in response. He could remember how many times people had told him 'A person of your standing can't be acting like that!'. He was Harry Potter, and he could ride a dragon to work if he wanted!

"Okay, leave my office, go grab Tonks to her office and ask for a holster.

"I hope you will be in my house by dinner time, just use the Floo and say Bones house"

Haring this, Harry asked "House?" Don't you have a manor or something?"

Amelia shook her head "We have, but it is still in reparations, it is going to finish in four years"

Hearing this, Harry frowned, it made sense that Voldemort could enter the manor to kill Amelia in her past life, a worker had sold them out. Thinking this, he was going to make sure that the wards were as strong as ever, he had some future ones that would make the ones from this era feel like a Lumos charm.

Still, he warned her "You should take care of the reparations and look for any back door to the mansion, you don't know who could be a thief or worst".

Hearing this, she paled a little and slowly nodded her head."I…never thought of this, I will send Alastor for an inspection, his eye is perfect for it"

He noded in response, Alastor paranoia was the best for these situations.

"Well, I'm going! Bye-bye Aunty Amy!"Seeing Harry use the wheels of the chair to move Amelia panicked, she had forgotten about that.

"Wait! What happened to your legs?"

"Magic overflow, I used too much magic yesterday"

"I see, and how is Black?"

Hearing this, Harry frowned, Sirius looked fine, but he was not, he could feel the constant spacing out as if his brain turned off. He also had a lot of trouble remembering things, plus the malnutrition and who knows what other sickness. Yes, he was not well.

At least he had the mind potions, the other things would need the help of a Healer. He knew the basics, but he was not an expert.

"Bad, his memory is in shambles, depression, malnutrition.

"I will ask Tonks to speak with Andromeda today, maybe they can go to where he is and help him.

"By the way, what about Dumbledore?"

Hearing Dumbledore's name, she frowned, "He is really quiet, but maybe because we didn't start with Black trial…

"Also, can you put on normal hair? I don't want to have the reporters crowding Diagon Alley"

He nodded his head in response and while waving to Amy left the office. His hair changed back to normal, well, as normal as a shaved head with a bolt at the said was.

At least it was cool.

While going to look for Tonksie he started to think about the Flamel's, he didn't know why Hedwig wasn't' here yet. He hoped that nothing happened to her.

Nevertheless, he needs their help for Sirius, he doubts that being The Boy Who Lived had any pull on France. He also didn't remember how the corruption over there was or if there was any at this time. He knew that Fleur's father was going to become the Head of the DMLE, but right now he should be a Head Auror, and he honestly did want to put a target on the Delacour's, it was best not to ask them for help.

_______________

After entering the Auror Head Quarters, Harry had been swarmed by a crowd of Aurors, they wanted to ask for autographs. The whole situation had been fun for him, and it ended with a group picture with the whole office, Harry noted that some of the Aurors didn't take the picture with the group and scowled at him.

He noted the face of each of them in a mental carpet that said 'Death Eaters. Maybe?'. It had never crossed his mind that maybe they weren't fans of him and that he was bothering their wok with all the noise.

"So, I'm on nanny duty again? And what's the deal with the holster? You have permission, right?"

He shrugged, "It was this or making my own, apparently Amy didn't like the idea of a 'biting finger' one, I thought it sounded cool"

Tonks paled a little, "Yes…I will give one of my extras okey?

"Anyway, what happened to your legs?"

"Magic overflow"

She opened her eyes wide, she had seen a memory of the ray of light in Azkaban. Knowing that it had been Harry casting so much magic, she gently said "You were lucky"

He shrugged back, he had way worst.

"Okey lest go to eat first, do you have any recommendation?"

Tonks taps his chin while thinking "mmm what are you buying first?"

"Boots and underwear"

She nodded her head and while frowning asked "What boots? We might need to go Vertic Alley for them"

He shook his head in panic "No way, I'm not having lunch with the wizardly posh.

"We are going to Horizont"

"The Adventure store?"

He nodded his head, that was his favourite store in the world, it had anything for an adventure, it was also where most Curse Breakers buy their work things. They had the best Magical Tents.

The two of them leave the office with the wave and goodbyes of the whole office.

Tonks wanted to hide somewhere in embarrassment, she didn't like the attention. Harry, tho? He was sending Lockhart smiles to everyone.

While leaving the office, Tonks asked with a twitching mouth, "Is that a sparkling teeth charm?"

He nodded and said, "Yes, people love it"

She snorted while shaking her head, Harry Potter was a really weird kid.

__________________

The two of them took the Floo to Horizon Alley, and now they were walking to a restaurant.

While walking, Harry was looking around with sparkly eyes. In his past life, he had known about other Alley's only after the war, it had been too late to see Horizon Alley in all his glory.

It was known that Horizon Alley was the place where most Muggle-borns open up stores. Honestly, they didn't have any other option as Horizon was the largest of the Alley's.

It was also one of the first places that Voldemort destroyed first.

Looking around, Harry couldn't stop smiling, it was a big contrast from when he first visited, there were no burned shops, no new edifications made of concrete and full of glass windows.

The shops right now we're way more beautiful, full of wood and smaller in size, with flowers and small wooden signs hanging. It wasn't the extreme of Diagon Alley with frail and ancient-looking bricks shops. No, here the shops were well-maintained, clean and sparkling. They looked more like a village than a shopping district.

His favourite part was that the Horizon was more widespread than Diagon, so there were small tables at the side where people were chatting and enjoying the day, looking at the corners he could see more shops there.

Honestly, this place radiated happiness, something that after the last war should have been necessary.

Seeing all of this, he was tempted to tell Amelia to put Wards to the whole of the Alley, but it was honestly not his job, and at most he would just public a book with the new Wards.

They walked for a little until Tonks called him, "Harry! Here at the corner!"

He followed behind the cheerful Tonks until they were in front of a street full of tables, the alley was closed at the end, making it an enclosed space. On top of the tables, there was a full roof made of Wisteria plants, they should have a charm on it because the vivid green plus the lilac flowers were one of those things only accomplished with magic.

"Lest get a table outside! You need to taste the sandwiches in here, they bring his bread from Germany every morning!"

Harry nodded his head, he was still too engrossed in the beauty of the place.

Sitting up, Harry saw a small lilac menu appear.

The top of the menu had the name of the shop printed [The Dreaming Lila], he thought that it was a really appropriate name.

Harry opened the menu, the first page were three animated illustrations of a little witch speaking at the menu, followed by the same witch putting a couple of Galleons on top of the menu, and then the food appearing on the table.

He thought that it was a really good way to order food. Seeing the menu a little better, he noted that it was really like the Yule Ball Menu, maybe the food hadn't been made by the elves?

Tonks looked at Harry with narrowed eyes and asked "Are you paying?"

He chuckled, "yep, go nuts"

Tonks nodded his head with a really happy smile and started speaking to the menu, "Screaming salad, Lilac dream tea, purple chips and a Color-less Parfait"

Harry hadn't started reading the menu, but those were some tasty looking names. Except for the salad, screaming and magic weren't things that you like to put together.

Reading the menu for a while, he noticed a particular one called [The Hagrid's favourite] He didn't know what it was, but he thought that if it was good for Hagrid, then it was good for him.

"The Hagrid's favourite!", after putting the G (G = Galleons, I'm not writing it again), he looked up.

Tonks was with his mouth open, seeing he asked "What the problem?"

"What's the problem!?" Do you know what you ordered?"

He nodded his head and said, "Of cour-*THUD*" he was interrupted after an abomination of a parfait appeared in front of him. The bowl was really big, it had cotton candy floating inside, and from it, there was icing sugar falling like snow, the ice cream was like mountains, and there was a small cabin made of waffles. The cabin had little truffles in the form of pumpkins, and there was a caramel river at the side.

He thanked whatever deity heard his prayer first that the bowl at least didn't have animated magical creatures running around, he didn't want to eat a moving unicorn made of cake.

Seeing the at least five-kilo bowl of ice cream, he mumbles, "After this, I won't want to eat ice cream for dinner anymore"

Still, he was Harry fucking James Potter, The Boy Who Lived, The chosen one, The boy who conquered, World Champion Duelist, Grand Master of DADA, Minister of Magic, Hogwarts Headmaster, Time traveller, and The Boy Who a Stomach Ache. He looked at the spoon and with eyes full of determination, he started to eat.

Poor Tonks couldn't even touch his Colorless Parfait, seeing Harry eating so much ice cream had been enough for her.

"Burp! that was…a lot", Saying this, he started to pat his belly, it was round like a snake swallowing a bowling ball.

"You…you finish it?"

He put a really serious face and responded "Of course I did, you don't leave ice crea*BURP*"

Harry's face went green and mumble "Do you have a stomach ache potions?"

Tonk shook his head.

Before barfing all the ice cream, a little bottle appear on the table with a note that said [21G]

Harry swallowed the potion, "BUUUUUUURP!" He made a long burp, it sounded as if a big balloon was deflating, he blinked in surprise, "Wow, that was something…"

Tonks wasn't going to eat his parfait, still hearing the burp, she pushed the cup far away from her.

Seeing the black and white parfait, Harry, who was now with an empty stomach, was going to taste it, but Tonks slapped his hand and exclaimed "NO WAY!, let's start shopping before I barf my lunch. I swear where did so much food even go?"

"My butt, people say that I have a nice butt"

She could only shake her head, "Anyway, where are we going next?"

"The Cursed Adventure, I want boots, Ward stones, and some Tied Tied Language Potions"

"Wow, those potions are expensive, what are you drinking?"

"I don't know, all of them?"

He started to think, the potions were expensive, they were around 100 G each, and they had 50 years of use, after that time the language that you didn't use to the point of actually remembering them started to vanish.

He needed to drink every language except for Spanish and French, all the other ones were long forgotten, he hadn't had a lot of use for them, and he was rich, so 100 G was nothing for him. He also needed a new pair of Lenses, he had forgotten to buy a new pair and seeing all blurry was bothering him a lot.

Both of them were in front of a store, Harry looked up and saw the wooden sign,

[The Adventure Shop].

*tiring*

Harry and Tonks entered the store, seeing around he smiled a little.

The store was really big, clearly expanded by charms and there was a lot of pictures of a Wizard in deferents part of the rents, the walls were also full of shelves with an absurd quantity of objects and trinkets, the trinkets didn't have names nor prices, instead they had the weight of the object, Harry saw a silver chain that weighed 300 gr while at the side there was a normal wooden cup that weighed 60 gm. These shelves that were all around the walls of the store was a very distinct way that this store had to sell. The items with weight tags were normally found on ruins around the world, the peculiarity of it was that no one knew what they did, it was gambling and they sell for weight instead of materials or how big or pretty they were. You could buy junk or maybe discover a lost ancient rune scripting.

Under the shelves with the various trinkets, some posters said [Join now to Wizards of nature club] or [%50 off for the Cursed and Breakers and The Zoologist], under it, there were big wooden boxes full of Ward Stones while the rest of the store was full of different tents, bags and camping equipment.

The space for walking was extremely narrow thanks to all the objects hanging from the ruff and on the floor.

Looking at the small versions of the tents he smiled more, once a time those tents had been his real home, he wasn't the only one feeling like that, almost all Curse-Breakers were also used to that life and that was also the reason that every single one of those adventure people would tell you that The Cursed Adventure was their favourite shop.

He keeps looking around, thinking what to buy, apart from the Magazine subscription, of course, they were the best and were always full of great real stories and interviews from Curse-Breakers, adventures, and discoveries around the world.

Tonks walked directly to a section of the shop that had battle equipment, from vests to coats, to belts and emergency potions kits.

Seeing her gone, he went to the wood counter that was at the end of the store.

"Welcome welcome!" A grey-haired man look down, seeing the scar on Harry's forehead he exclaimed "Ho my! Harry Potter!" The man reached for his hands and start to shake them while saying "A pleasure to meet you, Mr Potter I'm Enowyn Olin!"

Harry smiled to him, "A pleasure, great pictures!" Saying this he looks at the walls making Enowyn puff his chest.

"Hahaha, Thank you, great old memories!" Enowyn smiled at him and asked, "What do you need young adventurer?"

Hearing this, he smiled back and while jumping a little, he exclaimed, "Boots and..." Harry looked at the side, Tonks was looking with sparkling eyes at all the Aurors things "Hey, Tonksie!" "What!?" "Do you want a pair of boots?" "Yes! A belt too?" He nodded his head and said to Enowyn that was looking at them with mirth in his eyes, "And a belt too"

"Hahaha!" It is good to make gifts for your friends!" Enowyn started to walk towards a stair while saying, "Come up! The boots and belt are here on top"

Tonks hearing this started to walk with quick steps, but before reaching the stairs *thud*, "Huuugh" Tonks was on the floor caressing his head, she had just dropped to the floor. Harry shook his head, Tonks was as clumsy as ever.

He went up to the floor while dodging with a big step the mumbling Tonks on the floor.

"Hey!"

"Sorry...Sorry, the boots are more important pink head!"

Harry entered the second floor, the room was smaller than the one down, and the walls were full of boots, hanging from the walls. Close to the boots, there were small couches. Some wooden manikins were fully-clothed for adventure. Some of them had what looked like a safari outfit, while others were for dessert environments, others had a mask with a huge net in front of the face to fight the mosquitoes.

Looking around, he couldn't stop exclaiming, this store was great.

"So, what boots do you want?"

"Dragonhide!"

Enowyn nodded his head, and while grabbing a big carpet he asked "we have Welsh Green, Antipodean Opaleye, Hebridean Black and Ukrainian Ironbelly. If they are for all-day use, I recommend the Hebridean, they are the toughest of the lot"

Harry put a hand on his chin, he wanted to buy every pair, but it was not really necessary, and he still didn't have a place to live, thinking about this he decided, "Hebridean then, I will take two pairs, and what enchantments do they have?"

"Are you sure? They are 1000 G each and that without the enchanting"

He noded in response and before he could answer, "Hey, you started without me!"

Tonks went running towards Harry with a pout.

He laughed back, "Choose a pair! And look for a vest and a belt"

Tonks frowned and asked "Harry, you are spending too much money, the boot alone costs too much already"

He sends a small sad smile at her. He honestly didn't care about the money, and after losing almost everyone he cared for...he had missed how good it was to spoil your loved ones, and if expending a couple of thousand Galleons would make Tonks live a little longer than he would spend them without thought. Honestly, with how many ideas he had from the future money was nothing to him.

"You are a friend, just promise me that you would always use the vest and won't die"

Looking at the sad face of Harry Tonks smiled a little, it was nice to know that people were caring for her, and even if they had known for less than two days, the brat had charmed her enough to consider him her little brother already. If Harry knew that he was treated like a little brother he would scream "I can be your two times Grandfather!".

Tonks show him a bright smile and then run for a hug, "Aaaaw you little brat, don't worry, I still need to have more fun with you!"

He closed his eyes while being embraced, coming back had been his greatest decision ever.

After a while, he patted her back, "Okey, go choose a cool pair of boots!"

Tonks let him go and asked, "What boots did you get?"

"Hebridean Black, they are badass"

Seeing the boots on the wall, she nodded her head, they were badass, after thinking for a while she exclaimed "I'm having the same!"

Harry shook his head, but still, he liked the idea of sharing the boots with Tonks, thinking about this he thought of a great idea.

Getting closer to Enowyn, he started to whisper.

Enowyn open his eyes wide and mumble "Ho? A bolt? Sparks? And colour changing? Hohoho, I can make them!" Enowyn nodded his head and grabbing a page from his book he started taking notes.

Tonks didn't see the exchange going on, as she was getting lost seeing all the cool Aurors outfits.

"Good...Good!, now what enchantments do you want on the boots? We have the normal Adventure pack for 300G"

Harry shook his head "I want them all, size, control temperature, changing all-terrain shoe sole, stick charms, metal fronts, the full list, I want these boots to feel like an artefact!"

Enowyn frown a little and said "I might need to make one from scratch, and I'm sorry but I'm not an Artificer, but after such an expensive purchase I can do the maintenance for free"

Enowyn then look at the pink-haired Auror and asked Harry, "What about the vest and the belt?"

"The same for the vest, and for the belt, I have an idea"

He asked for the note page from Enowyn and started to write a series an enchantments on the page. The enchantment looked like circles interwoven with each other, but instead of lines, they had runes written.

This enchantment was for balance, and size, the two of them were connected, meaning that every time the size of the belt changed the balance would change with it. This was perfect for Tonks Methamorphmagus abilities, and they would help with her clumsiness.

After finishing he gives the paper to Enowyn.

Enowyn started reading the enchantment that Harry had made, it was a really simple but original idea, the harder part was to connect the Balance and Size clusters, but he had done a wonderful job with it, it looked like the work of a veteran.

"I had heard about you being the youngest Animagus, but I didn't think that you were such a genius, if I might ask, where did you learn to enchant?"

"My mother old journals"

Enowyn nodded his head and exclaimed "Haaa! Of course, if they were Lily's, it makes sense.

"Did you know that I was a really good friend of your mother? She loved to come here and try to discover what the little trinkets from the walls did.

"I guess you are as much of a genius as her…I'm sorry for your loss boy, both of your parents had been the warmest ones could meet"

Harry put on a sad smile and mumble, "Thanks"

He meant it, it was nice to know that his parents had been cared for and that they didn't leave the world without leaving a mark on it.

"Well, come on now, do you want to buy anything more?"

He again grabbed the paper and quill and started to make a list of things he needed.

On the list, there were things like Long-longed-rope, tent (Full house, full enchanted), bag-pack (full enchanted), potions emergency kits x3, master engraving set, ward stones x100 and Language potions x2 of each.

He gives the list to Enowyn making him shake his head, "Are you sure that you want to spend so much money? And ward stones? I hope you are not using them without supervision, they are volatile.

"And about the tent, full house? How many rooms?"

"Don't worry I got it! And I want a full bath, plus four guest rooms"

Enowyn put a wary smile, he wanted to tell the brat to not spend so much money, but he was honestly not his father, and looking at the amazingly well-written enchantments he had written…yes the brat was a genius and would probably get the money back before graduating Hogwarts.

"Okey, I will have everything done by this month last week"

"Hugh, so long? What if you do the boots first?"

"One week, can I use the balance enchantment for the store?"

Harry opened his eyes in surprise "Damm, you already discovered it?"

Enowyn laughed, "Hahaha, brat I've been enchanting objects since I was 15! Of course, I can read them, they are well done, what do you think? I can give you %10, for each object sold"

Harry shrugged, "Sure, wait a minute"

He honestly didn't care about it, the enchantment was extremely basic, at least compared to the million words enchantments that Runes programmers did. It could even be said that this enchantment was a fourth-year homework. He wasn't a researcher, his job was how to use the things that others made not make them.

He stopped thinking about this and grabbed his shrunk trunk from his pockets. Seeing the trunk he frowned a little, he didn't like to have all of his things with him all the time, a spell into his pocket and they would be gone.

He open his now expanded trunk, and from it, he grabbed a leather bag, this bag was connected to his trunk to only send money in, you just needed to put the Galleons on top and be done.

He give the card to Enowyn and said, "I don't use Gringotts, so please use this card, you just need to put the Galleons on top of it and they would send the money into my trunk.

Enowyn raised an eyebrow, "You don't use Gringotts?"

Harry grumbled back, "I don't trust Goblins"

Enowyn noded back, he could understand this, he also didn't use Gringotts and instead put his Galleons with the Leprechaun of Irland, the only reason that they weren't as big as Gringotts was that they loved to send pranks when requesting money by owl. Still, they were more trustworthy than the Goblins.

"I'm done!" The two of them looked at Tonks, she had a nice white belt and a brown vest that had a nice brown fur interior.

"Hoo a Vipertooth vest, they are the best at taking spells, okey I will put them with the other things for enchanting"

Tonks raised an eyebrow, "Enchanting? You are going to enchant them!?"

"Of course Mr Potter asked for the best, you can come to grab them at the end of the month"

Tonks look at Harry with a frown on his face "You can't, That's too much!"

Harry looked at Enowyn, "We are going to grab the boots in a week and the rest later"

"No! I don't want them!"

Harry cross his arms and said, "I will buy them anyway!"

Tonks did a frustrated sigh, she knew that the brat was not going to listen, "if you want to pamper woman's so much then you would better be ready for the consequences!"

After saying this she hugged Harry and started to smooch him all over his face.

"Stop, stop! Enowyn help!"

"I'm sorry Mr Potter, but the lady is right, just accept your reward, I'm going down to check out your purchase"

It was like this that Harry Potter had been killed by kisses.

The end…

______________________

Harry and Tonks were now walking towards Offish Alley, they were having fun and talking about random things.

"So Harry, what do you need to buy in Offish?"

"We are looking for your father"

Tonks looked at him as he was dumb and asked, "You know I can just call him with Floo right?"

He grumbled back, he had forgotten, "Okey then-"

He was interrupted by the image of a really beautiful snow-white Owl flying towards him.

Seeing Hedwig he smiled and exclaimed, "Hed! You are finally here!"

Hedwig perch himself on his shoulder and started to him on his ears making him laugh, "How was the travel?"

"Hoot" "I see… and then?" "Hoot!" "Hooo!"…

Owl and child started talking completely ignoring the pink-haired Auror.

After a while Harry frown, Hedwig had just told him that the Flamel's called Dumbledore after reading his letter, he wanted to slap himself, he should have written to not tell Dumbledore about it, thinking a little more about this he shrugged his shoulder, is not like he had been sneaky. Even so, they had responded to his letter, but it was not the right moment for reading.

He grabbed a piece of bacon from his bacon pocket, and give it to Hedwig. He then looked at Tonks who was looking at him with a weird look and say "Let's go to your father office, we are pretty close right?"

Tonks nodded and started walking, she didn't know what to think about Harry and his weird quirks, she thought that speaking with hi owl wasn't going to be the last of it.

The group walked for a while, Tonks had tried to speak with the beautiful owl, at first she thought that it was a Harry thing, but after seeing her expression, she knew that the owl was extremely smart, it was even a little creepy. But her mind had been pretty open to new and weird things lately, she thought that it came with being friends with the same eleven-year-old that could break her cousin from Azkaban.

The two of them keep walking until they entered another pedestrian alley, this was different from the shoppings alleys, the first big deferents was that the building was taller and boring, they screamed 'Office', the people walking was also deferents, more adults with formal coats while some other had suits, every couple of minutes there would be someone with a big box full of stationery.

Most shops in Offish Alley were on the first floor of the office buildings. There were only two stores that weren't tall four floors buildings, and instead of normal one story ones. The first was the Post office, this one was on a corner and the wall was full of wooden perch for the owls.

The second store was a pub, he thought that it make sense, everyone needs a good dose of alcohol after working in such a boring place. He couldn't understand how having the wonder that was Magic some people still prefer to work in boring offices signing paper, still he was grateful. He didn't want to know what the world would be if everyone was a Curse Breaker or researcher. The image of people like him running the Ministry give him chills, and he had actually been a minister, he knew how bad he had been at it.

"Go fly around Hedwig, I will need you at night only"

After Hedwig went away, Tonks and Harry entered a building and started going up the stairs until they find an office that said [Tonks Legal Services]

Tonks enter first while saying "Rosaline, your favourite Tonks is here!"

Harry looked at the girl, she was sitting behind a long wooden desk while writing, at her side she had a tall pile of papers.

"Tonks!? What are you doing here? Don't you have work?"

Tonks wanted to look cool and try to smoothly sit on the desk, the problem was that smooth and Tonks are never going to be part of the same sentence.

*Thud* "Oooouch"

Harry groan while looking at the tall pile of papers flying around the office while Tonks was with her bun on the ground.

Rosaline only sighs in resignation and mumbles, "As clumsy as ever…"

One of the doors opens followed by a person asking "Rosaline! I need you to find the paper of the…What happened here?"

Rosaline points at the pink-haired mess on the ground, "you have visitors Ted"

Edward Tonks (Ted) look at the ground and put on a smile, "Hey darling, good to see you are well"

Tonks smiled back "Hey dad!, I bring business!" While saying this she pointed at Harry.

Ted looked at Harry and smiled back.

Harry on the other hand was having a flashback of the day that Ted had died, "Let's take a moment to report those deaths that the Wizarding Wireless Network News and Daily Prophet don't think important enough to mention. It is with great regret that we inform our listeners of the murders of Ted Tonks and Dirk Cresswel"

Seeing the young boy sad face, Ted looked at his daughter, Tonks shook his head and crawled towards Harry.

Harry was still a little lost and he didn't see Tonks grabbing his legs.

He was now on the floor being hugged by Tonks "Hugh, Tonks what are you doing!?"

While Huggin him she said, "You were putting on a sad face"

He looked at her and send a smile, "Don't worry, I just remembered my mom's journal talking about your father", Looking at Ted who was smiling at her daughter he said, "Hello, I'm Harry Potter!"

"Harry Potter!?" Rosaline started to panic "O my I need a picture!" After that, she started to look for her camera while mumbling "Where is the little crap!"

Ted only shook his head at his assistant and started to look at the son of James, he was really like his father, way more small and scrawny. This make him frown, the boy was really thin.

"So, why are you here instead of working?"

Tonks let go of Harry and stand up with a quick jump, "Im taking care of the little menace"

"Hey!"

Ted looked at his daughter, "I see, did you say something about business?"

Instead of responding, Tonks helped Harry.

"I need your help to sue a lot of people"

Ted frowned, "Okay, let's talk to my office, can my daughter come too?"

"Of course, I trust her!"

Hearing this Tonks smiled and hugged him from behind while saying, "My little imp is so cool"

Harry groaned, he didn't mind the hugs, he love them, it was nice, but his badass cool image was being constant broken!

Ted shook his head at his daughter, still, he smiled, it was great to see her so happy.

The group entered the office.

"So, how is that you are taking care of Harry Potter?"

Tonks looked at Harry, asking permission to tell.

Harry nodded, he knew Ted character well enough, he also knew that he had been a really good friend of his father, Ted and Andromeda were three years older than his parents, and Andromeda had been a really good friend of Lily. He also knew that Andromeda loved Sirius dearly and would help each other after they had been expelled from the house. Heck Andromeda hadn't been part of the Order, and she was known for her mistrust of the Headmaster. If there were a family that deserve trust was the Tonks, the plus of them being also his family was also good enough for him.

Tonks started to tell everything, every couple of minutes she would look at Harry for permission, but he would only shrug his shoulder or nod his head. If Ted was going to be his attorney he needed to know.

They speak for a couple of hours. While speaking, Ted was writing in a book while asking questions.

Harry was looking at him attentively, he noted that more than once time he wanted to scream in anger, the fact that he could take a deep breath and keep taking notes tell a lot of his character.

By the end of it, Ted stands up and serve himself a cup of Fire Whiskey.

Both Tonks and Harry didn't say anything, they understood that he needed to calm himself.

Ted drink slowly while standing up. After a couple of minutes he said, "I can't make this decision by myself" he looked at his daughter, "We need to call mom"

"She is going to go bonkers"

Harry asked, "Wine or whisky?"

Both of them responded "Wine"

The group left the building, before going to the Tonks house, harry had asked to buy a new pair of glasses.

They entered a shop called [Shades & Shadows], Inside the shop was Muggle normal and looked like a normal Glasses store, the only magical thing about the store was the posters with moving images. The clerk of the store had been fast and by the end of it Harry had a new pair of round glasses, he had of course put some enchantments, like size adjustment, anti-fog, anti-water, etc. Even so, he wasn't really happy with it, the enchantments for glasses were poor in quantity compared with the one available in the future, making him miss his old Glasses. The biggest letdown had been the lack of the fast-reading and magical sight enchantment. He would need to put them himself when he had time.

Still, seeing more than one meter was great.

____________________

Harry, Ted and Tonks were looking at a fiery black haired woman throw insults around while screaming and pacing.

"I can't believe it! He left you with a man that can't be bent over to tie his shoes! What was he thinking! And then he had the audacity to let himself be thrown in jail!"

"And Dumbledore! I will grave his beard and shove it inside his A-"Andromeda!"-WHAT!?"

Ted looked at Harry that was snickering at the insults to his godfather, "Language!"

Andromeda scowled, The brat broke his dumbs godfather from Azkaban! Im, sure he can take some insults!" She still took a deep breath and looking at his husband said, "Wine!"

Ted and Tonks run towards the wine seller where they put the recently buy wine.

Andromeda on the other hand looked at Harry, her eyes were spitting fire and his nostrils were going up and down, "Tell me why in Merlin's name did you do something as stupid as breaking into Azkaban!?"

Harry closed his eyes, he didn't want to know what would she do after seeing his legs, that after walking for hours were starting to hurt again.

Nevertheless, he didn't want to be shelled, so he said the worst thing to say to an angry woman looking for blood, "I'm fine.."

"FINE! You are fine! I see how fine you are" Andromeda grabbed Harry's ears and started to pull him towards a room.

"Ouch ouch! Crazy woman let go of my ears!"

Andromeda snorted, "I'm a Black I do crazy!

"Go to the bed and take off your shirt and pants!"

"At least take to a first dat-Ouch!ouch!"

She looked at him with an angry face and pointed her wand into his mouth, "Make another comment and while hex you!"

He decided to just shut up. He knew Andromeda well enough to know that you listen or listen to her, even when he was a hundred, she would win every single argument, and he had already experienced how creative the Blacks punishment could be.

He lie down on his bed, while Andromeda started to cast spells and charms at him. Seeing the spells not working she started to cast more specific ones, she was trying to make possible spells send feedback into her magic, doing this was only possible after learning hundreds of Darks curses, the idea was to cast them without intent, making them not work but still react if they had been cast to the patient, the problem with this was that there was a lot of Dark curses that worked almost the same, making them react even if they weren't that spell, still, she could start going towards a path and maybe discover what Harry had, Seeing some of the Dark and nasty ones working she started cursing.

Having a bold idea she cast a Scrying spell, this time was to the zone around Harry, to see if he had a ward instead of a spell. Blood wards weren't normally used as they needed a great sacrifice for them to work.

After casting them, a red smoke appears on top of Harry's body making her curse like a drunk gnome.

She keep sending spells, this time she wanted to know if there was a residue around Him, maybe she could use that residue to see who the caster was. A blue smoke appear around his body, but the smoke wasn't dissipating like it should and instead was entering him.

This makes her narrow her eyes at him.

Tonks and Ted enter the room "Honey I have the wine!"

Ted give her a glass to serve her, but Andromeda just grabbed the bottle, and with a quick wandless spell she made the cork shoot to the ruff.

*Gulp Gulp*

She closed her eyes, it was a nice wine and took a deep breath.

"Dear can you bring my work bag please?"

Ted went to do what his beautiful wife asked for, his daughter follow behind, she didn't want to receive her mom ire right now.

"How long?"

"Eh?" Harry looked at Andromeda, he didn't understand the question.

"How long have you known about the Blood Wards inside you? And how long you were going to keep pretending!?" Seeing Andy's face start become red he groaned.

"How?"

She scowled while taking another gulp of wine, "You have the residue of other three spells, within you, plus there is no way that Dumbledore of all people could make such tidy wards, he might be good, but the only way for them to be this tidy is if someone touched the Wards from inside, and I want to know how and why.

"How did you learn about Blood Wards and why you didn't get rid of them!"

He shrugged his shoulder, "One of them protect me, the other screw me over while also helping me, while the last one is sending information about me in real-time, all three of the Wards had an alarm too, so I just decided to let them be until I could screw him over, you know to be a Slytherin way and all that"

She shook her head, "That would make sense if it wasn't that yesterday you appear in every single magazine! You know 'Harry Potter Merlins reincarnated, The genius of the century!', that is not the Slytherin way, so why you still didn't destroy them?"

He closed his eyes, she won't like to hear the answer to that, "It wasn't part of the plan…"

"What wasn't?"

"To rescue Sirius and the whole Animagus thing, the plan was to make it all quiet…"

"But?"

"I couldn't let Sirius there, nor did it want to give them a chance to harm him, so yes it wasn't part of the plan"

Andromeda closed his eyes and massage his eyebrows, she kind of understood where he was coming from, "It still doesn't tell me why you? Why not Amelia or Alastor? You are eleven! You should be having fun!"

Harry scowled, "Im powerful, and it was my idea to go there!

"And don't talk to me about having fun! I haven't had fun since I was two years old!"

Hearing this she looked at his body, seeing the skinny body, the scars, and those disgusting Wards leeching from him was breaking her. She loved Lily as a sister, and yet she had left her child be starved and beaten. His childhood had been stolen from him, and it was everyone fault. She hadn't fought for him, even while mistrusting Dumbledore, she still didn't fight for him, and like the rest decided to believe that Harry Potter was having the perfect home life.

Thinking of this she mumbles, "You must hate everyone here right?"

Harry snorted, "yes and no. Honestly? It doesn't matter, I decide that even if they take away my home, I just need to build my own, the farther away the better"

Hearing him that he wanted to leave made her feel a pang in his heart, she closed her eyes While caring his hair and asked, "Are you leaving then?"

He honestly didn't know, one side of him was screaming for him to go away, to let all of them die for the shit they did to him. For how they had left him alone, to just leave them be to go to his Fleur, and just live a happy life.

The other was telling him that he couldn't make responsible people that still didn't do anything, most people who betrayed him were only eleven years old, they hadn't done anything while the others he could just ignore them or kill them. Thinking about killing he took a deep breath, for a person who had lost everyone he loved, life, was something sacred, he wasn't dumb, he would not let a single Death Eater go, but the rest? They were thousands of people that didn't even go to Hogwarts or they were just living their life. Honestly, he long ago stops holding responsible the people who didn't fight to find him. Dumbledore had lied to everyone and in the end, a friend of his parents or not, they weren't responsible for his life. The list of people that make him miserable wasn't that long, Dumbledore, Vernon, Voldemort, the Weasley's and Snape. The rest? They hadn't done anything, they had been manipulated into doing it or They were trying to not get screwed over like himself and while doing it, a lot of them took bad decisions.

He took a deep breath and started to look for the memories of all his three first years of Hogwarts.

Finishing viewing them he took a decision, "Two years top if in two year's the UK doesn't change I'm out"

She send him a smile, "I won't say that your mother would like you to stay, if you read all of his diaries then you know that she will be proud, doesn't matter what you choose, but, I like for you to still go to Hogwarts, at least for a year or two" Andromeda clapped his hand and while getting closer she said,

"Now I want to know where did you learn about Blood Wards? And don't tell me your mother journal, I help her research the protection for you"

Harry swallowed, he didn't know that.

'Shit shit shit! I need to think something fast!'

"So?" Seeing her arching eyebrow he knew that he need it to think something fast….'Voldemort! Yes!'.

He remembered about something that had marked him deeply but it was so long ago that he had forgotten. After killing Voldermort, all of his memories had been implanted into him, at first, he didn't want to tell anyone being scared of them, he was after all a seventeen old boy, but he had already started to be dosed with potions from the Weasley's and ended up telling them all, it had also been that reason that the ministry's and even Hermione used to brand him as a Dark Lord years later. It was funny, those memories had also been the excuse about why they had dosed him with love potions and put him into a Magical Bond Marriage, they were scared of him going Dark and being too powerful to be stoped.

Thinking about this he started to think, what if Dumbledore knew that this would happen and he tell them in secret just before dying?

Not that it gives them enough excuses, at least not to destroy his biggest dream in life…to have his own family.

*Cough* Hering the cough of Andromeda he stopped thinking.

"Memories! I have memories of Voldemort since I was a baby!"

She frowned at that and mumble, "That shouldn't be possible, to have his memories he would need to posse him or…." Her face paled in horror, "Destroy the ward that it's making the normal spells not function. Now!"

Harry nodded his head, he knew that the lie had been swallowed.

Closing his eyes, he enter his magical core, just as before, the wards were leeching from his magic, making him way weaker. Seeing this he internally shook his head. Rescuing Sirius last night had been dumb, he knew that he could have waited at least a couple of days.

He started to destroy the ward by sending more tendrils from his core.

The moment one of the tendrils connected to the Blood Wards cut loose, a loud *ting* was heard, followed by a red pulse that flew out of him like a flare light. This was the alarm that would notify Dumbledore of his destroyed Blood Wards. He didn't care. At this point, they could tell that Andromeda was the one destroying them or something. He continues to cut the tendrils up, like pruning the roots of a tree. After finishing the wards vanished. He took a deep breath, now Dumbledore wouldn't know what was happening to his body.

While this was happening, Andromeda who was still casting Scrying spells at him, saw a red light fly from Harry's chest. She cast a spell really fast making the light stop In place. Seeing this she conjured a flask and put the red orb in it. She knew what that orb was, and It would be beneficial to catch Dumbledore later.

Harry was sweating, destroying the ward hadn't been pleasant, he was damaged from his last night dumbness, and having his magical core send more magic towards his body made him feel lt like a burn.

He greeted his teeth and went for the next one. Like before he started to cut off the red tendrils, and again a red flare followed by the *ting* sound.

Harry cut the last root to his core, "Haaaaaagh!" He started to scream, his arms and especially his legs felt like he was getting Crucio.

Andromeda open his eyes wide, Harry's arms and legs were swallowing while blue veins started to appear all around his whole body, seeing this, she started casting Scrying spells towards him, while reading fast she exclaimed, "Dumb boy! Why didn't you tell me!"

She had just read that Harry's body was completely oversaturated with magic, he could become a cripple!

The fast steps of Ted and Nymphadora were heard, Nymphadora seeing Harry scream in pain exclaimed, "Mom you didn't need to punish him so bad!"

"Ted!"

Ted understood and give her the bag.

She cast some charms at it and potions started to float, seeing that they were all of the potions needed she send them to Harry screaming mouth.

One for one the potions were being empty.

Harry still keep screaming, but the blue veins started to disappear.

Nymphadora asked, "What was that?"

"The dumb boy didn't tell me that he had Over-saturation!"

Ted frowned, he knew enough to know what Magic Over-saturation was, but Harry was right a minute ago, "What did he do?"

Andromeda shook her head, "It wasn't his fault, I found that he had Three Blood Wards inside him, and asked him to destroy them, but the boy didn't tell me that he was already hurt, and the charms didn't work at first!"

Nymphadora asked, "Now what?"

"Now we wait, I give him potions to start healing him his bones, scars, and muscles but the Over-saturation is breaking it, this is a blessing because he needed to destroy them to be healthy again but the pain must be a lot"

Nymphadora stay with the screaming Harry, she was there cleaning his sweat.

Ted and Andromeda had left the room and were now talking about what to do.

"Three blood wards?"

Andromeda scowled, "Yes! And the worst kind! Dumbledore needed a sacrifice to make them work!"

Ted paled, "H-how? Are you sure it was Dumbledore?"

"Then who? I told him that it was him before and he didn't correct me, he knew Ted! He knew of the wards and with what happened on his vault?"

Ted sat on the floor with his back on the wall, the screams of Harry were as loud as before, making him send a silent charm towards the door, "He deceive all of us, didn't he?"

Andromeda sat in front of Ted she was again thinking about how they had left Harry alone in hell, "We let him harm Lily's and James boy"

Hearing this he closed his eyes, "What are we going to do?"

She look at his husband eyes, her eyes were completely black, devoid of colour, "Destroy him, make his name feel like the worst of taboos" Saying this she trow the crystal flask with the red orb inside.

Ted raised an eyebrow, "What is this?"

"It came from Harry's chest, is an alarm, used to know when a ward is broken, if you free it…"

Ted eyes shone, "With this, he is done!"

She shook her head, "He is Dumbledore Ted, we will need a lot more"

"What are you gonna do about Sirius?"

Hearing his cousins name she scowled, "After cursing his foolishness out? I will heal him"

"And what about Harry?"

Her eyes open wide and while standing up said, "I need to call for Bones, she needs to know about this!"

Ted noded and also stand up, "I will start with a plan, Harry told me that freeing Sirius was his priority, it will take a lot of time, I doubt he will be free until a year from now" After saying this he hugged Andromeda, and while putting both of his hand in her ass, he whispers "You are so hot when angry"

She kisses him and chuckles after, "I think tonight I will need to de-stress a lot"

Ted kiss her back, this time with more passion.

After the kiss, both of them went down to do their things. Ted went to his office, he needed to start a plan. Andromeda on the other hand went to call for Amelia.

_______________________

*Whoosh*

From Tonks chimes, a green flame moved followed by a woman appearing.

"Ms Tonks, what happened?"

"Come with me" After responding to her they went to sit on the couch, Andromeda give her a glass full of wine, making Amelia raise an eyebrow.

"You will need it, trust me"

Hearing this Amelia sight, "Is about Potter right?"

It was Andromeda turn to raise an eyebrow.

Seeing this Amelia snorted, while relaxing a little, she thought that seeing another witch going towards the path of alcoholism thanks to Potter make her a friend, "I've known him from two days, you tell me"

"Hahaha, yes I guess that you've been drinking?" Amelia only nodded her head.

"Now tell me what did you call me, I thought we were going to see you in a week"

"That's the reason, Harry went to Ted's today…he told us everything.

"Did you know that he had three blood wards on him?"

Amelia face paled and took a big gulp from his glass, "Tell me everything!"

Andromeda nodded and started telling her everything that had happened, from the plan to sue Dumbledore, to how Harry was currently thrashing around in his room.

Amelia also tells her how he first meets Harry and everything that happened next, she knew more things than her daughter, and Harry tended to make all situations way lesser than they were.

By the end of it, both of them had drunk two wine bottles.

Andromeda after hearing all of it had one last question.

"Amelia…Amy, can you tell me why did you let him go to free Sirius?"

Amelia put on a dejected face, "You didn't see him fighting Andy, he beat Alastor and was enjoying the fight…he is a genius.

"It makes me tremble you know? Seeing an eleven-year-old fighting like that, I couldn't stop thinking about Susan, what if I wasn't here? Will, she also be like that?…there are times that His eyes become hollow, the same way that Veterans from the Grindelwald war do.

"I think about stopping him, I did… you also speak with him. Tell me, did you think that he would listen? He is the worst of James and Lily's with all of the good too and most importantly how would I stop him? By force? You need to actually beat him for that"

Hearing this Andromeda put a sad smile, "I'm sorry is just…I failed you know? To both Lily's and James…"

"We failed him, Andy, the whole Britain did.

"Last time Susan ask me when she could play with him. She said that he needed friends." Amelia chuckle while shaking his head, "Maybe that what he needs, not a parenting role but someone that he can trust"

"Are you gonna send her to Hogwarts?" She had changed the conversation, but Amelia didn't care, she also needed to speak of other things.

"I wanted to send her too Beauxbatons, the Abbott's too, I can't sleep well knowing that Dumbledore is there, but I can't steal her dreams like that, she been nagging me about Hogwarts since she was seven"

Andromeda chuckle, she could understand that, Nymphadora had been the same, even now only a year after graduating she would sometimes say that she missed the castle, everyone missed the castle, the age didn't matter, Hogwarts was home, and knowing that Dumbledore was there using it like his villain castle made it worst.

The conversation was broken by Nymphadora, "Mom! Harry woke up!"

Both Amelia and Andromeda stand up and went to the bathroom.

Harry was looking at the ceiling, his body was hurting, his bruises had bruises and worst of all his nose was itching. nevertheless, he couldn't move a single muscle.

"Harry! How are you feeling?" Hearing the voice of Nymphy he try to look at the side but he really couldn't move, "My nose is itchy"

Nymphadora snorted while shaking his head, she couldn't understand how he could still joke.

Hearing her chuckle he again said, "Really is itching, help!"

"Let me help you, Mr Potter"

His eyes light up, "Aunty Amy! You need to help me! She make me undress and wanted to have her wicked ways with me…I tried to fight, but those curv-"Harry James Potter! You better not finish that sentence!" He swallowed, making him groan in pain, the groan also hurt, making him groan louder, "Do you have pain killers? Muggles drugs will also do"

Nymphadora forgot that his mom and boss were there and exclaimed, "Ho I have some wee-"

She stopped mid-sentence, his back was feeling a weird chill, looking back she saw both his mom and boss looking at her.

"Weed he?"

Harry wanted to help her friend and scream, "RUN RUN!"

And run she did.

"You are grounded!"

While still running she screamed back, "You can't I'm an adult!"

"Grounded!

"Sigh…at least hide it better, I know that when I was young…" Andromeda stopped speaking, remembering that there was a cripple menace in the room.

He smiled a little, "keep going…I won't tell. Promise!"

Amelia got close to him, she also scratched his nose, making him sight in pleasure, "is this what Sirius said about the enjoyment of a woman embrace? He said I need to wait one year…"

"One year? Really?" Amelia rise an eyebrow while Andromeda mumbled, "I will kill the little &%*$&"

"Now stop causing havoc, and tell me. How are you doing?"

He stopped joking and responded, "It hurts aunt Amy, I think that some ice cream would heal me and…"

"You are still grounded, not ice cream for a month"

He mumbled back, "Iron fist woma-"what did you say"- That you are my biggest role model and vegetables are way better than ice cream?"

Amelia nodded her head, "That's what I thought"

Andromeda also got closer to Harry and after grabbing a parchment and a quill she started to cast Scrying spells at him, this time the spells send back a lot of information, making the quill don't stop writing.

Reading them she nodded her head, even so, there was something that make her frown. His head scar wasn't showing on her page, as if it wasn't there.

This makes her cast more direct spells, but nothing, "I don't understand…your scar doesn't show, are you sure that you destroyed the Wards?"

"Nope, there is one more, the one you helped mom with"

Hearing this she frowned more, the ritualistic ward that they were investigating was to protect him against Death, it shouldn't keep working after the danger was gone…Thinking about this she asked Amelia, "Amelia, do you have something to look for Dark Curses?"

Amelia raise an eyebrow but still nodded her head. She reached for her necklace, it was a big translucent stone with white smoke inside flaying in spirals.

"Put it on top of his head please"

She nodded her head. The moment the stone touched his forehead, the smoke inside tremble and transformed from white into a cloud of black smoke, *Crack* the stone broke, and from it, black smoke, with the form of a skull screaming, appear until it vanished into the air.

This made Both of them pale, "How?" Asked Amelia.

While Andromeda was trembling and mumbling, "Please don't tell me…"

Amelia looked at her, "Do you know what it is?"

"Harry, you tell me that you learned about Blood Wards thanks to Voldemort memories, right?"

Hearing this Amelia looked at him and exclaimed, "You what? Why didn't you tell me!?"

"Tell you what? Hey Amelia I have the memories of a psychopath murdered in my head! But don't worry I'm harmless!"

Hearing this Andromeda nodded, "Well…I wouldn't tell anyone either"

Amelia scowled at her, "You are a Slytherin, you wouldn't tell your birthday if it wasn't that you get a present out of it!"

Andromeda laughed, she was right, living in the snake pit make you paranoid of your secrets and when you were a Black? The paranoia increased ten folds, even so, she had mellowed a lot tough the years, having a cute Hufflepuff daughter and husband made you like that.

"Amy, the important thing about this is why is he having the memories of a dead psycho!

"And if it is what I think then we have a bigger problem!" Andromeda looked at Harry making him sweat, "you have his memories, right? Then you know what is it, and I understand don't want to tell anyone, but you know that I know that you know what it is!

"I need me to tell me a straight answer"

Harry sigh, he knew that this was coming, he thought about it, and honestly, if Sirius knew then there was a big chance that everyone would know by the end of the year, at least with this he could make Amelia prepared faster.

"Close the door, put privacy charms…all of them"

Hearing this Amelia frowned, he knew that Harry liked to joke around, but she had also seen him serious before, and she knew that this was big.

Andromeda and Amelia start casting privacy charms, they went at it for five minutes.

Harry nodded slightly his head, "Voldemort made Horcruxes, I have one inside my scar. He is alive"

Both of them paled in fright, Amelia didn't know what a Horcrux was but hearing that he was alive was enough for her.

Andromeda shook his head, "He is completely evil, you say that he made more than one? And that your scar is one of them?"

He nodded his head and was going to tell them about his plan from them but Amelia interrupted, "What is a Horcrux?"

Andromeda shook his head, "It is magic so vile that even we Black's were forbidden to ever use it, the punishment for it was dead, no questions asked, that's how dark and evil is"

Harry continued, "To make a vessel by splitting you Soul and live forever, not alive not death, a wraith living in the limbo"

Amelia asked while trembling, "H-he is i-immortal?"

He tried to shake his head, but his muscles were really tense, "We need to destroy the vessels to kill him"

"Who else knows about this?"

Hearing Andromeda's questions he paled, "Sirius"

"You tell your crazy godfather about it!? Are you dumb?"

He scowled a little, or try too and responded, "He deserved to know about it, and I give him enough potions to cure his mind!"

Andromeda shook her head, she didn't want to speak anymore.

Amelia on the other hand asked the question, "I guess you know where they are right?"

"Yes"

"What about the one on your head?"

"Well…this one is a little complicated, I can receive a killing curse to the head by Voldemort, or I need to make a ritual for it, the problem is that my body can't cast so much magic for the ritual, at least not until a couple of years"

"There is no way that you are going to receive a killing curse on the head!"

He wanted to laugh a little, that was exactly what had happened in his past life, and yes, the idea sounded way dumber than in the past, but again, he wasn't the powerful Grand Master that he was now, and in his defence, he was really dosed with potions by that time.

Andromeda asked, "Tell me the ritual I will try to look for something"

Harry snorted, "Are you a Grand Master Ritualist? If not don't even bother with it"

Amelia shook his head, "I doubt that Voldemort was a Grand Master, maybe is not as complex as you think"

Harry wanted to laugh, they thought that the ritual was from Voldemort memories, still, he could understand it. He didn't like that suddenly all his genius was going to be credited to a demented wizard, but at least they would be more accepting of his random woes of magic.

Even so, he didn't like that they were underestimated Voldermort, he was a Grand Master of the Dark Arts, and he was close to being a Ritualist Grand Master, honestly, his downfall had been the Horcrux, because before that he had been a terrific foe. Maybe not for him, but the rest?.

"Don't underestimate him, he is a Dark Arts Grand Master, accepted by the conclaves of vampires around the world and he was close to being a Ritualistic one, you would even lose the war if it wasn't for my mother's protection, and he was completely bad shit crazy by then. If he was sane?"

Hearing this both of the women looked down, for a minute they had forgotten how devastating the war had been, the worst of all was that Harry, the eleven-year-olds was saying the truth, they wouldn't have won the war and knowing that the Dark Lord had been crazy by that time make it more frightening.

"Anyway, I can do anything about my scar, at least until I'm fourteen or maybe fifteen.

"The others? There are three inside Hogwarts, one is in Gringotts good luck with that one, and the last one I don't know"

He lie about being three in Hogwarts, but he didn't want to tell Amelia that one was with Kreacher, he also didn't want anyone to know about the ring. The diary was also true, he had memories of Voldemort hiding the diary in Malfoy's library, but he hadn't told him what it was, only that it was important and to protect it even in death. The problem was that he couldn't enter there and most importantly he didn't want to send problems towards Narcissa, she was family, and he protected his family, he also knew that she had been put into a Bonded Marriage, just like he was, she didn't love Lucius, but his son was another thing. He was hoping to kill Lucius and maybe save Draco of the same torture he had to make him feel in his past life.

After the atrocities he had done, he had tortured him for a whole month. But he had done nothing yet, and he knew that Narcissa would straighten him up, if not, well….

"Also you don't need to worry, about the Hogwarts ones, I will destroy them myself, just start planing how to grab the one in Gringotts, and don't count on me, I empty my vaults already, so I doubt they would receive me with open arms"

Both of them didn't say anything about his vault, they were trying to understand the weight of the situation.

Amelia looked at Andromeda and noded, they needed to speak about everything, if they were worried about Harry, now they were terrified, the boy needed happiness and Voldemort being alive didn't help.

Andromeda said to Harry, "Your body is healed, your bones are new and your scars had disappeared, the only thing is that your body needs to get used to the more strong magic, but a day or two of rest would do"

He nodded his head, "can you please tell Malkin's that I'm going to take the pictures when I'm better?

"I also need Ted to make a good contract for sponsor deal with Nimbus, the idea is to make a Potter special edition broom, while Malkin's would do a nice photoshoot with the new Potter clothing line.

"And the most important, I need him to start investigating all the brands making money off my name without paying"

Andromeda twitched his mouth in amusement, it was really cute seeing the small boy being all professional, he might have the memories of a 60-year-old Dark Lord inside but for them he was still a child, a genius, crazy, dangerous child, but a child nonetheless.

"Rest well Harry"

"Rest well Harry, Susan had been asking about you, she said to make her a scarf too, with a unicorn"

He smiled at the roof, he still couldn't move his head.

Hearing the door closing, he exhale and mumble, "It's good to have help" With those thoughts, he started to sleep.

________________________-

Two days, he had been in bed for the past two days. He could already walk after one day of full sleeping, but his body was really tired.

He mumbled, "I swear, that it's getting worse…"

At least he hadn't wasted time, yesterday Ted had come with a full plan against the Brands using his name, this plan was enough to start the deal with Nimbus and Malkin's, he hadn't forgotten about that sweet poster, and he wanted a broom with a golden bolt at the side.

But all of that was for tomorrow, today he needed to read Flamel's letter and send a response. The old couple were really important for his plans, he also wanted to go to his store in Diagon Alley, he knew that it had four floors, maybe he could use the last one as his apartment.

He stand up from the bed, his legs were a little cramped but it was thanks to the past two days In bed.

He went to the desk of the room, Hedwig had visited him yesterday, it hadn't been fun, she know how to hit with his wings.

On top of the desk was a normal looking envelope with a wax seal stamp. Normally the stamp would have a shield or a symbol that represented the person sending the letter, but this one had nothing, this tell Harry how reserved they truly were.

He still grabbed his wand and cast the Screen spell. The blue screen appear and he started scanning the envelope. At first, there was only the composition on the parchment, ink, etc. There were also the normally preserved charms that most parchments papers would have.

The most interesting one was a Port-key with a date of activation while the last of charms made him twitch his mouth. It was a copy of his screaming charm, the one he had put on his googling eyes bag.

He shook his head and cast the finite on the screen, making it disappear from the envelope.

Seeing all good he open it up and started to read,

[August 20, touch the letter at 10:00 am

PD: Bring the real stone and I give your socks back!]

He frowned a little, he was hoping to read something else, anyway, he needed to wait for a week and a little more to see the Flamel's, in the meantime he would start making his Zifloo and renew his shop.

He went down the stairs and saw Andromeda cooking.

Hearing the steps Andromeda look behind and show a smile, "You are taller"

He smiled, "Yep!"

Yes, he was taller, the potions had worked well, making him have his normal height. He was still on the short side, but that was just genetics. He was still really skinny, malnutrition potions would take a lot more time, but at least his shoulders and knees didn't ache anymore, he had forgotten how it felt to not be in pain, getting older bring a lot of it, especially muscles and bones and if you summed up the years of wounds thanks to his work, the pain had been greater. Dark Curses would not go away without leaving a permanent scar, his missing hand had been one of those.

But now he was healthy again and he wanted to play Quidditch with this healthy body!

Andromeda shook his head, "I'm going to help Sirius, I already told Amelia what potions you need to take, your bones and muscles are new and you need to reinforce them" Seeing the nasty face he was making she chuckle, "Don't worry, I made them Ice cream flavoured And you have to take the Nutrition Potions too"

He sigh and nodded his head, he knew better than to whine, much less if it was against a Healer, they were immovable.

He sat on the table while Andromeda serve him a plate of crepes and bacon, "Thanks, Andy!"

Andromeda smile at him, it was nice to see him cheerful after his brooding for the past two days.

"What are your plans today?"

He didn't answer right away and instead gulped his orange juice. He was thinking about what to do, he didn't have any desire to speak about deals with Nimbus, at least not now. He needed something fun.

"Did you know that my grandfather has a store in Diagon Alley? 93 Diagon Alley"

Andromeda nodded her head, "Of course I know, Dorea was the one who buy it.

"Why are you asking?"

"Im going to open the store again, I will go there today"

Andromeda nodded, "What are you gonna sell?"

He frowned a little, thinking what to tell her.

Seeing this Andromeda said, "You don't need to tell If you don't want too", they had spoken with Amelia and Ted, and they understood that Harry didn't have the mind of a child, at least not after having the memories of the Dark Lord, they didn't know how much of the memories he had, but with how smart he was, they thought that he could be responsible enough to not need to babysit him, not that they would tell him that, he was, in the end, an eleven-year-old brat, and they would act like the adults they were.

Harry shook his head, "I'm doing Runes since I'm eight and I have a lot of really good ideas, also the store has four floors, I was thinking to use the last one as my house"

Hearing this Andromeda frowned, she didn't like the idea of him leaving alone, It was not about not being responsible, but being alone in itself was not good, for no one.

She wanted to tell him, no, but she knew that even being family she wasn't her parent, "I don't like it, you are too young to be alone"

He frowned back, honestly, he didn't care about living with other people, after being alone for so long he loved being surrounded by people he cared, that was the reason he had come back to the past, but he needed a place where he could enchant freely and most important ward the shit out of it. His Trunks had at most five days more, and even if he had hundreds of enchantments in his memory palace, he still needed the space to do it.

"I don't need to live alone…what about Nymphadora? She wanted to move out right?"

Hearing this she raised an eyebrow.

She honestly thought that he was going to complain, and the idea was good enough, she didn't know what to think about the two troublemakers leaving together, but at least the house was in Diagon Alley, meaning that they could visit by Floo travel if needed.

After thinking she nodded her head, "Okey, but you need to activate the Floo…You know what? Let's go now to the ministry" Harry smiled and stand up, before leaving the house Andromeda asked, "Who is your magical guardian? We need his permission for this"

He frowned, he knew that Dumbledore had been his magic guardian after starting Hogwarts, but that was only possible because he enter without having one.

"No one, I guess Dumbledore wanted to wait for me to start School and be appointed as one"

She shook her head and made a mental note for things against the Dumbledore case.

"Do you want to appoint me or Amelia?"

"You, I don't want people to bother Amelia"

She nodded, thanks to Amelia's work everything she did would be noticed, and being the guardian of the Boy Who Lived would be too much.

"Okey, then we need to go to sign the paperwork, we can visit Nymphadora and tell her about her new house"

___________________________________________

The two of them were signing the papers, it had been really easy with her help, and Harry being there had made things faster.

At first, the man from the Magical Children Safety had tried to call for the Minister, saying that he couldn't let someone appoint himself as the magical guardian of Harry Potter, this had been easily stopped after Andromeda started to tell all the laws that he was infringing by trying to stop the closest magical family member that Harry has. The fact that Harry was eleven and had his right to change or appoint one himself had made it worse.

It was like this that after an interview with Andromeda, Amelia giving her recommendation letter and Harry sending a Sting charm to the men's balls, they left the office.

Harry had to give Andromeda a copy of the shop papers, she didn't need his signature or anything to put a Floor chimney on the store, being her Magical Guardian was almost the same as being adopted until he did his Owls, of course, the Magical Guardians couldn't do a lot of things, entering his Vault, selling properties, etc. But, they were the ones signing for permits and taking care of legal matters on the Magical side.

While Andromeda was going to the Transport Permit Offices and then home, Harry was looking for Nymphadora.

He went to the offices, but she wasn't there, apparently, they had training with Alastor, so, he walked towards the practice rooms.

While walking he was thinking about what to do with the shop, he had three whole floors to fill. The most important part was to not sell the same things that other shops did, it was almost an unspoken rule in Diagon Alley, after all, it was the smallest of the Alley's.

He knew that he will need a whole floor only for his Zifloo, he could change the designs and sell at least three types of designs, the sturdy ones, that only work for speaking and had durability enchantments. There were also the normal ones that work for communication and sending small packages of no more than 100 kilos and smaller than 60 centimetres.

While the last one was fully customizable, you could enchant them with a lot of things, the one in his past had a Deluminator, a small Foe-glass on one side, a small but really powerful version of a Sneakoscope and his favourite the Were-to-Compass, a compass that pointed were you wanted to go. His Zifloo had been the best and one of his favourite enchanted objects.

He kept thinking for a while, but then he didn't have any idea about what to sell on the second and third floor.

He had things to sell, portable Protego shields, Security cameras, Data-pads, Easily Customizable Ward Stones, they were so many things to sell, the problem was that most of them would need time, and each object that was used for Aurors or Against them need to have special permissions to sell. Those meant politics and he didn't do politics.

The other like the Data-pads were too advanced for this era, and even if he was going to sell them he didn't want to start in the UK where any dumbass could point his finger, declare him a Dark Lord and then try to steal his things. Others, like Potions, were too groundbreaking and would put a lot of attention on him, the cure for Lycanthropy was one of them.

The Zifloo was groundbreaking, but the fact that it used another way more advanced object like the Floo powder made it less than what it was, also he would need to buy from Floo-Pow Company and that would be enough to not make people try to bother with his business.

Anyway, he was still making his own Bank, and that would already give him enough Galleons.

Harry arrived at the place where Aurors trained, they were a lot of doors. The empty ones were with the door open. While the ones being used were with the door closed and a small sign that read, [In use]

He looked at the doors and wanted to slap himself, he had forgotten to ask in what room they were training.

He mentally prepared himself for the tiresome work of looking into every room.

Opening the first room heard, "CONSTANT VIGILANCE!"

"Well… that was easier than I thought…."

He entered the room, the Aurors were casting spells at wooden dummies that were moving around, while Alastor would cast spells at the unaware wizards and witches.

Seeing the group training he started to remember his Auror training, he had been a newbie back then and it had been a great reminder that the only reason they won the war was the all of the really powerful Death Eaters were crazy thanks to Azkaban. It was not an excuse, they were 17 years old after all, but at least their craziness had made things easier.

Harry frowned a little and took a step back. A spell had just passed in front of him, knowing who was the one casting this he twitch his hand making his wand appear.

It was time for payback! No one Constant Vigilance him!

He pointed his wand at the grinning Alastor and was going to cast a spell but the howling of a mother bear stop him, "DON'T YOU DARE!"

Harry looked up, there was Amelia with a group of three males, seeing this he waved and yell back, "Hello Aunty Amy!"

The whole room went silent…"Up! Now!"

He smiled and went up the stairs to the second-floor balcony.

Amelia frowned and said, "You can't walk around the Ministry as if you own it!"

He shrugged, "Is not my fault that no one-stop me, you should have better security"

The group of wizards besides Amelia frowned, one of them said, "I'm the one in charge of the security!"

Harry looked at them, seeing the bald chubby man being offended he snorted, "And? Your security sucks" Another man snorted, this one has a long nose and was missing teeth, "and what would a brat like you know? Why don't go back to drink your mother milk!"

The chubby snorted at that.

"My mother Is dead thanks to incompetent people like you"

The room become silent while Amelia was already massaging his eyebrows in tiredness.

The third man showed how much of an adult he was and decided to insult him,

"I'm sure she deserved it after making a brat like you!"

This time Amelia open his eyes wide in horror but before she could say anything, Harry had transfigured the chairs of the balcony into ropes, one of the guys tried to grab his wand, but with a quick Expelliarmus, their wands went into Harry.

He look at the three and scowled, "Did you know that there is a great charm to know if someone has the Dark Mark?" After saying the three of them pale, "You can't! Do this! I will send you to Azkaban!"

Amelia sends a Silencio to the three of them.

He shook his head and cast the spell, this spell was one of his small repertoire of Parcel Magic, not even Voldemort knew a lot of spells and the ones Harry knew had been from his memories.

He chanted in Parseltongue making a hissing sound, and from the tip of his wand a green smoke started to appear, the smoke transformed into a green snake and start flowing towards the three hanging men.

The men were trashing around trying to escape.

The snake got closer and with a quick strike bite the left arm of the chubby.

The sleeve of his coat started to melt, letting his bare arms in the open.

Seeing the bare forearms of the chubby, Amelia thought that they didn't have the Dark Mark, but only a second later his arm skin started to melt, making the Tattoo of a glittering green skull with a snake protruding from its mouth appear.

Seeing this Amelia scream down the balcony, "Alastor up now!"

Alastor had seen the commotion from down the floor and started to go up.

On the other hand, the snake bites the second man, this time Harry command the snake to bite with more strength, no one insulted his mother.

The man was crying, and his forearm was completely red, The mark appear again.

Alastor, walked into the room, behind him there was Nymphadora.

"What is that!? " Tonks exclaimed while pointing at the snake, that was biting the last men.

"The Dark Mark!, Mad-eye went closer to them and caster another spell, this one was the standard to see if someone had it or not. The three forearms made a red light, meaning that it was the real mark.

"Bones?"

Amelia shook her head, "The dumbass insulted his mother…you know the rest"

Mad-eye grumbled back, "Is there gonna be a day with you not causing trouble Potter!?"

Hearing his name the wizards open their eyes wide in panic, they had thought that maybe after a couple of bribery they would get out, but they know that with Harry Potter being present he only needed one interview and they were done, not that they would go free anyway, but hope made one not think.

Mad-eye looked at Harry, that was chilling with his back on the railing of the balcony. Harry shrugged, "We now know why the ministry security sucks"

Tonks on the other hand hugged Harry and said, "Why are you always getting into trouble?"

He chuckle a little, being reckless came from the family, "Is the Potter curse"

"So why are you here?"

"Ho right! I have good news!

"I have an apartment and you are coming to live with me!"

Tonks eyes wide, "What? How?"

"My grandfather has a shop in Diagon, we are going to use the last floor for our home, we are going now"

He grabbed Tonks hand and start taking her away only to be stopped by Amelia.

"Aunty! I need permission to take the hottest Auror for a date!"

Tonks shove him at the side while rolling her eyes, "You wish!"

Amelia frowned and while looking at the crying hanging Death Eaters asked, "That's it? You catch three Death Eaters and then you leave?"

He snorted, "oh sorry, should I keep doing the Aurors works? Maybe I can clean the toilets too?"

Amelia glared at Harry, making him cross his arms.

Tonks was sure that she was seeing sparks between the two of them, "Boss! Permission for babysitting duty!"

Hearing this he frowned. People, keep calling his amazing presence as babysitting dutty.

Amelia only shook her head, she honestly didn't know why she wanted Harry to stay. Lies, she knew, she didn't want to give him more opportunities to cause mayhem.

She sighs in defeat, "Just go, and please don't cause more trouble"

Both of them nodded their heads like pricking chickens.

Mad-eye on the other hand commented, "We need to make a whole investigation"

"I know Alastor…I know"

While Harry was leaving for his shop, he was thinking to start writing the book for DADA, or maybe sending Amelia the anti Imperius Wards, he should also start making a Dark Mark ward, maybe one for Amelia office, and his store.
