36 The Godfather

June 1951:

These last few years, other than healing, training MIS Agents, warding the MIS HQ, and simply having fun with my girls, I spent a lot of time practicing one aspect of Sorcery. A lot.

Taking Energy from another Dimension.

While I'm not going to be indebted to anyone, I am free to take energy from the Dimensions that have no ruler. I obviously can't rule over them, as neither my Spirit, nor my body, are strong enough for taking all of that Energy inside me.

One such Dimension I found, was the Chi Dimension. Yup. Chi. It was a full Golden Dimension, filled to the brim with Life Energy. While I can't rule over it, I can take energy from it, depending on my capabilities.

As I've already had experience with Chi, I was able to easily take the Chi from the Dimension and infuse it in my body, which makes me about 5 times stronger. But that's not what I'm aiming for.

"You ready?" I ask, looking at the naked Helena lying in the ritual circle in front of me, her hands and legs bound to the ground underneath her.

Helena nods, and says, "I'm ready."

As she says that, I pour a vial of liquid in her mouth, and as she drinks it, I warn, "This will hurt more than anything you've ever experienced. But you'll feel better as soon as it's done with."

The liquid I just fed her was the Elixir of Life, the Super Soldier Serum, and the Universal Solvent that Dorea discovered, in the ratio 1:2:1.

Universal Solvent is an alchemical creation that can dissolve anything. You can drop a dragon bone in there and it will dissolve. But the best quality is that multiple objects, when dissolved over heat, merge together and become better than the parts it's made of.

So, I merged the Elixir of Life, and the Super Soldier Serum I made, to make something.. better.

As soon as she's done drinking, I connect to the Chi Dimension, and flow the energy into the Runic array, through me. The runes light up in golden light, as it moves from the circles, towards Helena like a Golden liquid.

"AAARHGGGHHH!!" Helena screams out, in pain, as soon as the golden liquid reaches her body, and starts covering her in a cocoon.

Purposefully ignoring the way Helena screams, or I might just try and stop this, I keep pushing my Chi into the runic array, gritting my teeth, and with tears in my eyes. My ears still hear her screaming, and I push through the guilt.

Finally, 5 minutes after I began, Helena stops screaming, and the Cocoon bursts open, sending me flying back into the wall of my Ritual room.

Coughing, getting up, and walking towards the similarly coughing Helena, I ask, "You okay?"

"Yes.. It just, feels weird. There's so much energy in me!" Helena says, smiling widely.

The effects were a bit visible on her body. Her height had gone from 5'5 to 5'8, while her stomach had gotten flatter. While she did train a lot, as being the MIS Director, she needed it, she had nothing before on what she looks like now.

Smiling at her, I say, "First of all, wow! Secondly, congratulations Helena, you're long living now. Just like me."

I'd already done this same ritual for me before I tried it on her. I was not taking a big risk unless I know the stuff works. For me, it did not increase my Physical Strength any more, as I already had the SSS in my body. But, the Elixer of Life reacted well with the Chi, and made me Pseudo Immortal.

I calculated the effects using Arithmancy. My life span is now somewhere between 1000 and 2000 years. So not exactly an immortal, but I won't age for a long time. Even longer if I keep taking the Elixir, as we'd planned. Same for Helena now. But, we can still die if someone kills us. Killing Curse can do the deed, definitely.

Thankfully, the Elixir had no side effects like infertility. We'd been afraid of that. Getting extra years for us might have meant we take all those years away from our children, but thankfully it was not like that. We just lived longer, that's all. Other than that, we were still the same as before.

Smiling at Helena, I kiss her lips, and say, "Let's get this ritual over with for Dorea, and then how about we burn all this energy?"

Helena nods, and moves out of the room, while Dorea comes in and starts taking off her clothes.

"Okay, I like what I see, and I want it too. I don't care about the pain." Dorea says, as soon as she's inside the room.

Shaking my head, I simply bind her to the floor, kiss her once and start the ritual again.

---8 Years Later---

It's been 8 years since Helena, Dorea, and I went through the ritual, and announced to the Wizarding world, that Dorea had successfully made a Philosopher's Stone. It was necessary, because immortality is not something that can stay hidden.

The world put Dorea on a pedestal with me, as both of us married couple did something thought very hard. I ended two wars, and Dorea made us immortal.

While before, when I had just the Serum in me, I could have lived easily for 300-400 years. But, I would have gotten old before Steve came back, and stayed old for 300 years. I did not want that, as I wanted to actually fight during the Thanos War. Which is the reason why I made us un-ageing.

I also told Aunt Mia about Helena, and while she did scold me for being a womaniser and taking advantage of the poor girls, Helena explained the situation properly.

I hadn't been idle during these years, as along with all my daily stuff, I began investing. Stark Industries was making a big name for itself, and I'd bought 10% stakes in it, 13 years ago. That alone has more than doubled my fortune.

Along with that, I made sure to finance the Comet broom making company, as I knew that their brooms will be used even in 1990s, which made my Gringott's Vault even richer. That's not counting the royalties I get from the Organ growth Potion, the salary from my Wizengamot seat, and the St Mungo's Salary.

Right now, in 1959, I was the proud owner of G7 Million, and growing. I mostly just kept about a million Pounds in my Muggle bank account, and the rest, I transfer to Gringotts. 10% of the money I own, goes to MIS, so I can finance

Which brings us back to present, I was in the Potter Manor, along with a 60 year old Monty, and 57 year old Aunt Mia, having lunch. They had called me to their home, and I came, as it wasn't unusual for them.

Monty had just sold his company, that produced the Sleak-eazy Hair Potion, for 2 Million Galleons, to an Asian Wizarding Family, and decided to retire. Aunt Mia was not retiring any time soon, and was continuing leading St Mungo's with me by her side.

Yup, I was the Secondary Healer in Charge, of St Mungo's, after Aunt Mia. This just means that I'm good enough to lead St Mungo's after Aunt Mia retires.

After Dinner, as we're sitting down, drinking wine, I ask, "So, is there anything special, or was this just because you missed me?"

Chuckling, Monty brings out a package, and throws it at me. On reflex, I catch it and simply look at him. He says, "We are getting older, Mason. That's not a present for you, but I wanted to show it to you. Open it."

Opening the package, I'm met with a silvery liquid like cloak, that glides right out of my hand as soon as I pick it up. I immediately drop it and take a few steps back, when I feel the cloak reacting with the Stone and the Wand, and sending a wave of magic into me.

"Mason? What's wrong?" Mia asks, looking concerned and standing up.

"What- why are you showing this to me?" I ask, my voice shaking, looking at Monty.

This is the one thing I never wanted to touch. The Invisibility Cloak. I had two of the Hallows, why would I want the third?

Monty raises his eyebrows, and states, "You already know what it is. Of course you do." He shakes his head, and takes the cloak from where it's fallen on the ground.

Taking a deep breath, not liking the feeling of fear I feel when I see the cloak, I answer, "Grindelwald was looking for the Hallows for almost all his life. I did not just defeat him, I took all his memories from his mind."

Pausing, and looking at the elderly couple, I say, "He had the Elder Wand, which I took, and I had the Resurrection Stone. Please for fucks sake, keep the cloak away from me."

Monty nods, and sadly keeps the cloak away. He sighs, and says, "You have the two other Deathly Hallows. How the hell did you manage to keep it a secret for so long?"

Calming down, now that the cloak is out of my sight, I answer, "The Stone was with my father's Family. I simply stole it from him, and replaced it with a normal stone I changed to look like it." The two already knew my mother was raped by a wizard, but not which wizard. I continue, "The Wand I took when I defeated Grindelwald. I had to erase his memories of the Wand, as I didn't want him sending someone after me for the wand. As for the Keeping secret part, I never told anyone other than Helena and Dorea, and now you two."

Mia sighs, and mumbles, "This was supposed to be a good talk." While rubbing her head.

Shrugging, I say, "It can still be. Just.. I don't know what will happen if I touch the third Hallow, and I don't want to find out, at least not yet. So, please keep it away from my sight for now."

While I'm pretty sure that it won't make me the Master of Death, it is bound to have some effects on me, and I'm too afraid of finding out. I've read a lot of fics, and I remember all of them. Shit can get either so good that I'll be the strongest in the Universe, or I'll be a literal slave for Death.

Shaking his head, Mia begins, "We wanted you to keep the Invisibility Cloak with you. Maybe send Dorea to get it from us later?"

I nod, trusting Dorea to do it safely, and discreetly.

Mia continues, and says, "As Monty just said, we're getting older. We did not have children, so he wanted to just give the cloak to you. But.. we just found out something, and we changed our minds."

Mia smiles, and puts a hand on Monty's hand, which was on the table. She looks at me, and says, "I'm going to be a mother, Mason. I'm pregnant."

Mother. Mia Potter. James Potter.

Jumping up, I immediately hug her, laughing in excitement, and ask, "A Mother?! Truly?! This is amazing!!"

And it actually was. She is 57 right now, and she's pregnant. Well, she is a healer, and Monty is a Potions Master, so if anyone could have figured it out, it was these two.

Once all the excitement and congratulations are done with, I ask, "What can I do for you?"

Monty smiles at the readiness I show at helping them, and says, "We want you to become the Godfather to the child we have."

"But.. but.. why me? There's Mr Longbottom, and even your cousin, Charlus." I ask, confused. I add, looking at Mia's sad face, "Not that I don't accept, of course I accept, it will be an honour to be the Godfather to your child or children!"

"Nicely saved." Mia says, rolling her eyes, and adds, "We don't want someone as old as us to be the Godfather. And Algie, despite what he would like you to believe, is as old as us."

Yeah, now that I think about it, I wouldn't trust Algie Longbottom with a child either. If he can drop Neville from a window to check if he has magic, nope, not going there.

I nod, and smiling at Mia, I say, "I would love to be the Godfather to the child, Aunt Mia."

Clearing his throat, Monty adds, "Not just that, but we want you to keep the cloak safe from anyone that might want to take it from James, and give it to him, when he's 11."

"James? You already know the gender?" I ask, looking wide eyed, because Mia did not even look pregnant. Not even a bit.

Mia rolls her eyes, and says, "That's his hope, that it'll be a boy. If it's a boy, the name will be James. If it's a girl, the name will be Jasmine."

I keep the name in my mind, so I can tease James when he's older, and smile at them. I say, "I will keep it safe from anyone that might want to find it. Don't worry."

After another hour of simply talking, I go home, promising to send Dorea to pick up the Cloak from them.

Invisibility Cloak. Despite never looking for it, it just about landed right in my lap. But.. I'm afraid, still. I won't purposefully touch it, no matter what. I already have two hallows, and they're enough for me.

Thinking that, I go to sleep, in between my two girls, having to go to work early tomorrow morning.

----Dream---

"Well, hello there. Fancy seeing you here." A scantily clad woman says to me, as we're both sitting in a bar, having a drink.

She was wearing black robes, which was almost a bikini, Princess Leia style, and had a corset on her chest. Her bust was easily, visible, as it was right in front of me. She was wearing a purple lipstick, and had purple marks on her face, like Rin from Naruto. Her black hair were covered with a cowl, and she had a gentle smile on her face.

Recognizing her for who she is, I mumble, "Fuck my life." And bang my head on the table in front of me, while the woman in front of me begins chuckling. Who was she?

Lady Death.

A/N: This was a bit sudden, and even I just decided it when I began writing. The meeting with Death will be in the next chapter, and after that, Time Skip. Definitely.

I will spend about 5-7 chapters for James's childhood, and the first Voldie War. After that, we'll see.

Tata!
