Meeting the President
/Miller residence…a day later./
We find everyone casually sitting in the living room after Sarah gave Astoria a tour of the house when a pop is heard. Dobby appeared with a copy of the daily prophet. “Master Harry Potter Sir, you need to read this”
“What the hell!” Exclaimed Sarah on seeing Dobby for the first time.
“Sarah Language!” Joel lightly scolded.
“Sorry” she said. “What are you?”
“I am Dobby. dobby the House elf.”
“House elf?” Asked Sarah.
“They are servants of the magical world, they help witches and wizards with their cleaning and cooking and in return. They get magic from us as a symbiotic relationship which let them reproduce. Some families treat them like trash.” Said Daphne.
“What is it? More slander?” Asked Harry as he took the paper from Dobby. Daphne peaked over and she grew enraged.
WANTED FOR MURDER. FUGITIVE AT LARGE.
By Rita Skeeter.
“My dear readers….Harry Potter. The Boy who lived is wanted for the murder of Cedric Diggory at the end of the third task. Minister fudge has ordered a wide out manhunt for the Boy who lived. A reward of Ten thousand Galleons is being offered for the capture of the future dark lord.”
Harry took the paper and he crunched it up and tossed it to the ground. Joel and Sarah was in shock, “great,,,now I am a wanted Fugitive!”
A loud knock is heard on the door and Joel looks at the door, he then moves Harry to his office, Sarah follows suitly, he closes the door and went to his desk. He finds a small case in the top drawer. Harry watched as he pulled out a Taurus Model 66 revolver, he loads the gun with bullets. “Stay here.” Said Joel before he went to his front door. He cracked the door and he saw Phillip Cromwell with two men in buisness suits standing pm his front porch. “Yes?” He asked. He held the gun in front of him. Hidden by the shadow of the door.
“Mr. miller.” Said Phillip pulling out his badge..”my name is Phillip Cromwell. I am the Supreme Mugwump of the International Conference of Wizards….we mean no harm to Lord Potter.”
“Yeah right…you Wizards have done so much harm to him. Give me one good reason to not blow your head off” said Joel holding his gun pointed at Cromwell. The two men behind Cromwell reached for their own wands but Cromwell stopped them.
“Perhaps if I may intervene Phillip” said another voice., Phillip moved away to reveal a Caucasian man that looked to be on his thirties with Dark Brown hair.. he is wearing a black buisness suit and pinned near the pocket is a American flag, “Mr, Miller…my name is Adrian Lionheart. I am the president of the Magical United States of America and leader of the MACUSA.”
On hearing that Joel lowered the gun and he opened the door. “Alright…you try anything to him and I’m putting a bullet right between your eyes.”
“Fair enough” said President Lionheart. Joel moved back to allow the two men into his house while the other two took defensive positions. Daphne and Astoria went wide eyed on seeing the man. Joel kept the gun on him before he called. “It’s alright Harry. You can come out.”
Harry and Sarah came out of Joel’s office.
“Lord Potter, a pleasure to meet your acquaintance.” Said President Lionheart offering his hand to shake which Harry did. “Same here sir…I wasn't expecting to meet the President of the MACUSA.”
“You're not just famous in England. You're famous in the entire world by being the first ever person to Survive the killing curse.” Said Lionheart looking at his scar. “Very curious”
“What is sir?” Asked Harry,
“Your scar is no ordinary scar. It's more than a scar; it's a rune." Said President Lionheart
"Pardon?" exclaimed Daphne in surprise.
"It's the rune for the sun - sowulo," explained Lionheart. “Before I became president. I worked as a Rune Specialist. "In divination it represents success, positive energy, increase, power, activity, fertility, and health. Its magical properties are energy, strength, success, healing and fertility.
"The sun is held sacred by almost every religion in the world. Its light and warmth symbolize life and growth and all that is good. Sowulo, like wunjo, represents success and glory. But, more specifically, the life-force and health.
"It is also very similar in shape to eihwaz - yew. In divination it represents change, initiation, confrontation of fears, turning point, death and transformation. Its magical properties bring about profound change or to ease a life transition. In modern times it represents both death and immortality; and defensive protection.
"A question I had for quite some time - well before I even met you today Lord Potter - is, how it was that the Killing Curse - a curse that does not normally leave a mark upon the body - managed to leave one on you, even if it was reflected back at Vol - Riddle. The answer is, it didn't.”
"On the opposite side, above your left eye - just as the scar sat above the right eye - I can see traces of another rune. It's algiz - elk. It represents the protective urge to shelter oneself or others. It's magical properties are used in defence, warding off evil, as a shield or guardian. It can be used to channel energies.
"All three are Nordic runes and form part of Heimdall's Ætt. And, I happen to know your mother very well form her time as an unspeakable. She came here to America to learn runes and other forms of magic. She was very knowledgeable of the ancient Nordic runes. So, I'm not surprised to see them upon you.
"You did not have a scar from the Killing Curse, Lord Potter; you had a scar from what I believe is a rune - one of many - that was somehow made upon your body by your mother. For whatever reason, that one particular rune damaged your skin, leaving you the scar when the rune set was activated. And, because it was a fresh wound at the time - and that the soul fragment from Riddle found you as the nearest living being in range - it attached itself to you through the then freshly opened wound."
“So that’s how she did it…she wasn’t called the brightest witch of her age despite being a muggleborn.” Said Daphne.
“More than that…according to our research on lines…Lily Evans is actually the True Descendent of Salazar Slytherin…what gave it away is the bright emerald green eyes that children of Slytherin inherit. The evans family are descendants of Squibs and the family magic activated once Lily was born.” Said Cromwell.
“So I was the heir of Slytheirn,” said Harry,
“Yeah but you didn’t unleash the Basilisk on the school.” Daphne replied.
“Ah yes. The Goblins have already dissected the Basilisk carcass in the Chamber of Secrets, hard to believe a twelve year old boy using only a Sword took down a thousand year old Basilisk,” said Cromwell.
“I still can’t beleive that there was a thousand year old basilisk in that school and Dumbledore did nothing.” Said Lionheart,
“It’s not the first time he’s done something like that” said Harry.
“What do you mean by that Lord Potter?” Asked Lionheart,
“It’s better if I show you…Dobby my Pensieve!” Said Harry.
Dobby appeared with the Potter family Penisive that sat on a stone basin. Harry then withdrew every memory of his time at hogwarts. Thankfully he spent a good portion of the car ride organizing his memories. He put his memories into the pensive and he stepped back. Cromwell and Lionheart both dipped their heads into the pensive. Minutes later both men pulled back and both were clearly not happy.
“All of that happened at a school full of children!” Exclaimed Lionheart. The sorcerers stone which was no doubt a fake, the Basilisk, dementors and then the Triwizard tournament.
“It did. Plus the bigotry of the school is the worst. Especially between the Gryffindors and Slytherins.” Said Daphne,
“The Flamels know better than to trust Dumbledore with their stone. They have made plenty of fakes for many have tried to steal it from them” said Lionheart showing Harry and Daphne a picture of the flamels still alive.
“That wanker lied to me ... .no surprise there” said Harry, he can see clearly now thay Dumbledore was nothing more than a dark lord but instead of murdering people. He uses his words and manipulates people to do his work for him.
“When he was Supreme Mugwump, he banned a lot of books that shed bad light on him in England but not the rest of the world.” Said Lionheart and he brought out the American version of the Daily Prophet called Magical News,
Harry and Daphne see the titles and Harry couldn’t be any more happier.
SIRIUS BLACK DECLARED INNOCENT BY THE ICW
yesterday, Sirius Black was interviewed by the Supreme Mugwump Phillip Cromwell with several others in a secure area. Most of Britian thought to have betrayed the Potters and killed Peter Pettigrew, finally faced trial, reports Monty Wordsworth, court reporter. What's more shocking is that he was proven to be completely innocent of the crimes and exonerated from any wrongdoing. The kiss on sight order has been removed by Supreme, Mugwump Cromwell.
Lord Black has spent almost thirteem years behind bars at Azkaban for crimes of which he was completely innocent before he broke out to defend his godson Lord Potter qgiqnst the true Traitor who was hiding at Hogwarts under the guise of his animagus form. A brown rat with a missing toenail. Pettigrew had been hiding as a pet for Ronald Weasley.
Peter Pettigrew's Order of Merlin Third Class will be retracted and a bounty has been placed on his head for his arrest.
Lord Black has taken his place as Lord of the Ancient and Most Noble House of Black and I asked him what he plans to do. He told me this.
“First. The first thing I’m gonna do is Kick Narcissa Malfoy, Draco Malfoy and my Darling Cousin Bellatrix out of the family for following that half blood Wanker. Second I am reinstating my dear cousin Andromeda and her daughter Nymphodora Tonks into the family. The second is that I will be emptying my vaults and joining my godson who has gone to live in the states.
Wizarding Britain has done me great injustice and so has Albus Dumbledore. So called Leader of the Light. He left me to rot in Azkaban knowing my innocence and he also let Alice and Frank longbottom get tortured by my dear cousin. So adious to you Chickens..”
“Thank goodness.” Said Harry reading the paper.
“Our next goal was to arrest the Dursleys for your mistreatment but the Death Eaters beat us to them. The house was set ablaze by fiendfyre and we were quick to put the fire out. Nobody else was around thankfully and we had to obliviate a few neighbors.” Cromwell said.
Harry darkly said “I don’t feel no remorse for them. They got what they deserved.”
“You have that right to feel that way my love. They had abused you all your life.” Said Daphne putting her head on his shoulder.
“Aye,,,as for your former friends Ronald Weasley and Hermoine Granger…Ron Weasley and his mother were casted out of the Weasley family for what they did. The rest of the family had no knowledge of the thefts until yesterday. From what I heard is that they have taken on the Prewitt family name.” Said Cromwell
“What about Granger? ” Asked Daphne.
“That is up for Lord Potter to decide her fate…her parents have taken her home and are also waiting on what lord potter will decide due to the Life debt she owes him.” Said Cromwell.
Harry took a minute before he said, “tell her that she is to never contact me again. I’m being mercfiful to her too but if she contacts me..I will demand retribution.”
“Fair enough….i will see it gets done.” Said Cromwell writing down what Harry wanted. President Lionheart then handed Harry and the two greengrass sisters papers. “Here, your account manager Bloodtooth took care of your paperwork…you three are officially citizens of the MACUSA. Welcome to the states, do not worry, We protect our own.”
“Thank you sir” said Harry, taking the paperwork. Bloodtooth worked very fast to get their citizenship in the United States quickly,
“No thank you lord potter, with what you have shown us today, Magical Britain is now on its own…did you know that Magical France was ready to declare war on England because Dumbledore and Maxine have endangered the French ministers daughters?” Said Cromwell
“You mean to tell me that Fleur is really the French ministers daughter?” Asked Daphne, the French Veela who had insulted Harry’s honor despite he had no interest in the tournament in the beginning apologised for her attitude towards Harry after the second task
“Aye and so is his youngest, the British knew that Veela and mermaids are bitter enemies and yet they did anyway, they would have killed those girls had Lord Potter not intervened after pulling you out of that lake Miss Greengrass” said Cromwell.
“Bloody idiots,” said Harry.
“The French have sacked and arrested Madam Maxine for her role and have cut all trade with England. No doubt other countries will follow since war is gonna break out.” Said Cromwell.
“What happens if their war gets out of control?” Asked Harry.
“Nothing you shouldn’t worry about. All the other magical nations are on high alert and if their war does leave their borders, all nations have been given permission to use Appropriate force.” Said President Lionheart.
The former natives of Great Britain nodded. “Now I have a country to run. May I?” Asked Lionheart pointing to Joel’s fireplace. Joel said. “Sure. Go right on ahead.”
President Lionheart used a simple Incendio spell to light up the fireplace and tossed some floo powder in. In a green flash he is gone instantly.
Cromwell took his Leave with his two escorts out the front door passing by Tommy who looked at them with a raised eyebrow. “Sir”
They then vanish with a crack much to his shock and he went into the house and he sees them, “what was that all about Joel?”
“Hi uncle Tommy” said Sarah, greeting Tommy. The younger miller then sees Harry “well I’ll be, if it ain’t James Boys. How you doing kid”
“Fine Uncle Tommy” said Harry greeting his other uncle.
“So you know Sarah” said Tommy.
“Yeah I still can’t believe magic is real and I’m excited to use it.” Said Sarah.
“In time babygirl, you gotta wait til your letter” said Joel before he checks the clock and its close to five om. he goes to fix their dinner them while Tommy sat down to get to know Harry,
/Hogwarts./
Albus Dumbledore was walking around his office trying to figure out a way to get Harry back. The Dursleys had been killed by the Death Eaters. The goblins had taken back all the money he had borrowed from the Harry’s trust vault as he had no access to the Main vaults. Before potter manor was Destroyed. He went there to get some of the potter family books and heirlooms not to mention the Potter Family Grimoire but the entire house was empty, Fleamont Potter, James Father before he died had ordered the potter house elves to send their entire library and family heirlooms into the potter main vault as a safety precaution against thieves.
What’s worse is that he had wanted to reform the Order of the Phoenix but he had lost half of those who would join. Arther Weasley pulled out his support for the order and so has Kingsley shacklebolt, Alastor Moody so there goes his eyes in the Auror department. The newcomers nymphadora Tonks was ordered by the newly instated Lord Black to stay out of the war which she did. Sirius black and Remus Lupin had withdrawn their support.
He still manages to get the support of some people loyal to him but not enough to go against Tom nor keep a guard around the prophecy.
His sacking of chief warlock from the Wizengamot came no later as Fudge no doubt with malfoy whispering into his ear. All of that power he had obtained the last few years gone within a few days, at least he still managed to held onto the title of Headmaster of Hogwarts. For now,
/it's for the greater good I have control over the boy… I must ensure the boy dies by Tom’s hand so that I may kill him and relive the glory once again./ thought Dumbledore when an owl came into his office and dropped off a letter. Curious of the letter, Dumbledore opened it and his eyes widened.
"You may have fooled the people of magical Britain but not me, I know everything about you and know this…you portray yourself as a Light Lord when you yourself are nothing more than a Dark Lord who uses people for your own needs. You have caused the slaughter of many families and the spilling of so much magical blood.. I will not let you or your ex of a dark lord destroy magical Britain or any other country in the Wizarding world with your crackpot ideas. Harry Potter is to be left alone. Stay away from him or else face full justice. we are watching you. You break any laws of the ICW and we will throw you into our most secure prison and throw away the key, also we know of Voldemorts identity and have began hunting down his little trinkets. He will be dealt with very soon.
-you have been warned,
Phillip Cromwell, supreme Mugwump of the International conference of wizards.
/no this can’t be!, they have no right to interfere with my grand plan!/ thought dumbledore angry. He began trashing his office that he never noticed the empty perch where Fawkes had once sat.
/malfoy manor/
Lord Voldemort was furious as he had Lucius malfoy screaming in pain from his torture curse. He had felt it…the destruction of all of his Horcruxes by the hands of the ICW. “Get him out of my sight” he barked.
Two lower death eaters dragged Lucius Malfoy away from him and he looked at Nagini scratching the snake behind the head. “It seems our little secret is out, Nagini.”
He then pondered to wether go after Potter but confirmed reports from some of his lower death eaters that the ICW has placed Britain under heavy lockdown following the country getting kicked out of the ICW. They have already killed six lower ranked death eaters when they tried to recruit in other countries. He dare not send Fenrir or any of his inner circle who is not currently in Azkaban.
“For now…we bind our time until I can break the rest of my inner circle out of Azkaban. I must hear the full prophecy but for now…I will wait for now? My time will come and soon the entire world will bow before me” Voldemort thought.
/miller residence/
It was after dinner and Joel had done some rearranging in his office. He would give Harry and Daphne his office to use as a room while Astoria would bunk with Sarah. Daphne pulled out her wand and transfigured the small couch into a queen size bed with a dark green blanket. “Almost like a replica at my former home” said Daphne.
“It will work for now” said Harry and he went to organize his bag, Joel left them be and went outside on the front porch where Tommy is sitting with a can of Bud light. “Here ya go Joel”
He tossed his brother a can and he took it, the two men open their beverage and did a small toast for James and Lily. They drink to their memory, “I’m sorry to hear about James and Lily Joel…they were good people” said Tommy,
“I know….whats worse is that Petunia should have contacted me the moment Harry was dumped on her doorstep..l think she was paid by that Dumbledore guy to abuse him to make him easier to manipulate.” Said Joel drinking his beer.
“Well we should go to England and take care of business then.” Said Tommy.
“Too late for that, those terrorists already killed them.” Said Joel.
“Well it sorta worked out. You sure it’s wise to let Harry and his girlfriend sleep in the same bed?” Asked Tommy.
“I’m sure. Plus he needs her….from what I heard from Daphne..he gets nightmares and finds comfort knowing she is right there next to him. He’s had a tough life in England, "said Joel.
“Sounds like he never got to experience a proper childhood like us or Sarah.” Said Tommy drinking his beer.
“What are you saying Tommy?” Asked Joel
“Here’s an idea…next weekend we take them camping. Nothing beats getting away from problems like a good time away from the city,” said Tommy.
“A good idea…since Harry is emancipated.. I want to take him to get a gun. His account manager also managed to get Harry and Daphne a Foid Card each and a conceal and carry. A firearm may be useful in case those Death eaters get past the aurors.” Said Joel. He needed to get his conceal and carry renewed as well.
“We can take him next weekend . My friend Andy owns that gun store near the mall and hes got good prices.” Said Tommy,
Joel agreed on that and the two miller boys sat there watching the fireflies come out of hiding and into the night sky.
