(Gringotts, meeting room)
As the ritual ended, Gornuk told Harrison and Andromeda, “Now everything is returned to your vault and in order heir Potter. Before we start talking about returning the money that was illegally taken by Dumbledore.”
He was interrupted by Griphook and Oskar entering the room. Griphook sat beside Gornuk while Oskar beside Harrison.
Looking at him in surprise, Harrison asked him, “I thought you're going to check the Gagos and Peverell vaults?”
“Oh, I was but when Griphook told me that you're starting with getting back your stuff and money, I decided to join you and finish everything in one go.” Oskar told him casually as if he didn't deliberately timed it.
It clearly made sense to Harry who then turned to the goblins and asked them, “So how do we do it?”
Gornuk told the boys, “Before we retrieve the money, and before your arrival, we finished auditing your vaults and what you own. There is something both of you must be made aware of first.”
Not liking where this was going, taking the charge, Andromeda asked them, “What has Dumbledore done?”
Griphook told her, “Through the Black family, he gave Emmeline Vance one of the Black properties in Wales free of charge as a gift. As for the money, he used part of them to buy two shops in Hogsmeade, including Honeydukes. Four businesses in Horizont Alley, six in Diagon Alley, six in Manhattan, and six in California.”
Gornuk continued, “As for heir Potter, he gave two secondary estates away. The one in Manchester to Dedalus Diggle, and the one in Birmingham to Elphias Doge. As for the money he took for himself, he bought a business in Hogsmeade Alley, three in Horizont Alley, and another six in Diagon Alley.”
Taking charge again, Griphook added, “Through the Phoenix Foundation, aside from giving galleons to the Weasley's, ⅔ of the money went to those three mentioned earlier, and another sixty thousand galleons were given to Mundungus Fletcher yearly. Vance, Diggle, and Doge used that money to buy businesses, in other British Alleys, and in several other magical communities such as France, America, Italy, Bulgaria, Greece, and Australia.”
Staring at them for a moment he let what was said sink in; the bastard gave their properties away for free? That cunt. In an angry voice, Andromeda told them, “I want those properties restored to boys, and as for those three, before I sue their ass's, is that even possible aside from transferring the properties back.”
Stopping her, Griphook told her, “They're in the process of being thrown out, the properties shut down until they are checked out, and in a few moments as soon as we start retrieving the money that was taken. Aside from the money they received from the foundation, we're considering them staying there as tenants. So, we'll also be taking from their vaults the total amount that they should have paid in rent.”
Before Andromeda could say anything, Oskar added, “Also, I want the businesses that Dumbass bought in Hogsmeade, Diagon Alley, other British Alleys and Manhattan with the Black and Peverell money to be transferred to me, while the ones in Horizont Alley, other Alleys and California under the Gaunt name. I want the same thing to be done to the other three bastards. I want them to be moved under the Gaunt Family.”
Harrison quickly added, “I also want the businesses that Dumbledork and the rest bought with my family money to also be transferred to me as well. Also, if it's possible, can you give us a list of those businesses and how they're doing financially?”
Giving him a nod, Gornuk told him, “It'll be sent to both of you by the end of the day. There's one more thing, after taking back everything, and draining Dumbledore's vaults, he would still owe you both slightly under three million galleons combined. Even if he sold the properties and businesses his family originally owned to pay you back, he would still owe you both a combined two and a half million.”
Sharing a look with Harrison and Andromeda, “Do we send a note with their letter that he has until New Year’s to pay us the rest of the money?”
Thinking about it, Andromeda shook her head and told the boys, “No, we'll give him three months. If he hadn't paid by then, we would take it with the DMLE.”
Liking the idea, Harrison turned to the goblins and asked, “Is it possible?”
Giving him a slight nod, Gornuk wrote a note on a parchment and said, “Consider it done, and we would be putting wizards and witches that work for us at the bank to run the business and to stop Dumbledore and the other three from intervening and throwing them out until you are ready to go check them after the trials.”
Both Harrison and Andromeda sighed in relief. As much as they wanted to check them currently, they needed to take care of everything that’s going on right now.
Before either of them could ask to be taken to the vaults, Griphook told them, “Before heir Potter goes to his vaults, and the same thing for Oskar, there's actually two more things I'd like to talk about.”
Handing a folder to Oskar, Griphook told him, “This contains all the businesses that are for sale or willing to sell for the right amount, empty slots, lands, and stores in Hogsmeade, Diagon Alley, Horizont Alley, Carkitt Market and in the locations in Britain and abroad that may interest you.”
Nodding, taking the file as he thanked him, Oskar told Harrison, “We'll look through it together and see if anything might interest you as well.” Then he looked at Griphook and asked, “And the second?”
Knowing that they can't fully tell the truth, Griphook told him, “After thoroughly studying what you showed us and experimenting to see if it works, his Majesty agreed for a business contract with your idea of how it works.”
With Andy and Harrison giving a confused look at Oskar's excitement, Griphook grabbed the contract and handed it to Andy as he told her, “As his solicitor, please go through it before he signs it. Yesterday morning, before you and the rest joined us, Oskar actually gave us an idea of how we could lower the cost of making a Gringotts Visa card.”
Stunned at that, Andromeda read through the contract, and her eyes bulged at how much commission they were willing to give him. Not only that, she was shocked that even with the 25% commission, he would also be granted certain things in the future whenever he improves, updates it, or offers them other things. Above all that, once the contract is signed, it would start to be implemented in Britain first by Thursday as soon as the contract is signed.
Finished reading it, she turned to Oskar and asked him, “How in the hell did you find the time to do all that?”
Shrugging, Oskar told her, “We were waiting for you guys to arrive and got bored. So one thing led to another, and I ended up coming up with the idea of how to reduce the cost, make it more effective, and make more money.”
Both Harrison and Andromeda stared at him again which made Oskar casually tell them, “What? I was bored, and when I'm bored I start thinking or coming up with things to improve them. One thing led to another, and boom, we fixed the problem.”
Dropping more for his amusement, Griphook added, “The contract for your second idea would be sent to you next week and when the prototypes work.”
Harrison did a double look at them, both making him ask Oskar, “What second idea?”
With Andy giving him a look as she also wanted to know, Oskar explained to them the flying pod idea (it was similar to Repulsorpod from Star Wars, it's where he got the idea from). He also told them that when it's done, all they had to do was enter the vault number, and it would fly there faster and safer.
Again, when they stared at him at what he said, even if it was actually a really good idea as they both hate using the railway, Oskar told them, “What? Seriously, what? I was freaking bored after finishing the research when I woke up, so I improved the idea that I had and sent them the schematics with Blaze to see if it could be done and turns out they can.”
Andy had a gut feeling about Oskar's boredom, lack of sleep, and a few other things she had noticed since the previous day. She'll have to talk to Pandora and ask her a few questions since she met him earlier than her before talking to Antony. It might be nothing, or not very serious, but it needs to be looked at if she was right.
For now, she sighed and told him as she gave him the contract, “Just sign the contract. It's perfect. If it was offered to me I'd break the contract that I signed with you to be honest.”
Laughing at what she said, Oskar took the quill that Griphook gave him, signed it, and gave it back to Griphook.
The three thanked both goblins as they stood so they could visit their prospective vaults, Griphook told Oskar, “One more thing. Oskar, we would like you to be present tomorrow at ten in the morning. The Egyptian account managers to the Shafiq and the Peverell would be arriving to go through what you inherited in Egypt. Usually, I would be going through them with you, but at the time, it was requested to keep both here and in Egypt separate. Nevertheless, I would be present as well if you request, in case you need any assistance required.”
Giving him a nod, Oskar told him, “Consider it done, and if anything happens that requires any delay I’ll give you a heads up.”
Giving him an acknowledging nod, Andromeda and the boys were escorted out by the guards so they could visit their vaults.

(Unknown location, North America)
Closing his laptop after his talk with Oskar, Jay closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths. Jay couldn't believe that if everything goes according to Oskar's plans, his people can join their emperor Kl'rt and the rest of their people at the colony on planet Tarnax sometime within the next few months if not sooner.
Jay's trail of thoughts went back to how it all started. It started when his dad met his mom in London and dated for a while before they married and when she found out that they're expecting, she finally told him that she was a witch. If that shocked his dad, his mother got the shock of her life when she found out about his dad and his people were skrulls. Initially, they both freaked out at first making his mom leave for a while before returning and talking it out especially with the possibility of him not being a hybrid between skrull and human, but the possibility of being skrull/wizard.
It took them a while for everything to go back to the way they were until they did. They even got happier when he was born healthy and like they knew, he was a hybrid human/skrull. The first few years, it took him a while until he was able to shapeshift properly even if accidents happened once in a while like when he's mad or emotional. That was until his magic started to manifest when he was around eight. He could tell his parents were a little bit afraid about that because the British were prejudiced about blood purity and all, and how they treat anyone who isn't fully human. So his mother decided that even if other countries weren't the same, her son was part nonhuman, she finally agreed to his father's original offer that they move back to America and live there. Her only condition was for him to be homeschooled in both human and magical education as they didn't want anyone to find out, which his father wholeheartedly agreed on.
Fast forward to after he finished his high-school and N.E.W.T'S AT seventeen, he went back to visit London and stay there for a while as a vacation which later turned into a small reckon mission for both his dad and Fury. That's how he ended up being approached by Oskar and his mother to teach her son a few street things because of the fake reputation he had made for himself.
It didn't take longer after that to find that the boy was a wizard like him, he put additional wards and runes in their place so the ministry wouldn't detect them and helped them when he could. He felt heartbroken when the mother died and promised to himself to look after the boy whenever he needed it during the foster care.
What shocked him the most was when one day Oskar showed up at his place near midnight asking if could crash in his place for a while which he refused. That led him to disappear for a little while the next day. Next time he saw him he relentlessly agreed which made Oskar hug in as a thank you, and Jay wished he never agreed to help him because after a while out of the blue Oskar started laughing and just told him that he didn't mind that he was part skrull casually.
Jay freaked out at that, and he was ready to obliviate him and abort the mission until Oskar stopped him and offered to explain everything to him as he trusted with everything.
A bit hesitant, Jay agreed to hear him out, starting by asking Oskar what made him sure that he was to be trusted? So Oskar told him everything from the smallest to the largest detail since the moment he turned five.
Asking him again why he trusted him, Oskar simply told him that he just does. Deciding to keep what he learnt to himself until he knew more. By the end, not only did he keep the secret, and promised himself to be there for Oskar when needed, but also, Oskar ended up both being there for him and helping him in some of his missions remotely. Oskar was even there for him when his mother also passed away a little over two years ago.
Since then, not only had he not told anyone, but he considered Oskar to be like a younger brother.
Straightening his composure as his back hit the chair, Jay started to think about what Oskar had informed him. Making his choice, Jay stood and left to talk with his father. Even though it was after midnight, he knew that his father was still up and having a meeting with Gravik and a few others.
Finding his dad talking with Gravik and some of their people, Jay asked him as he approached them, “Dad, can I talk to you for a bit.”
Gravik suddenly stopped what he was saying the moment he heard him talk to his dad. Jay hated the bastard, even before Oskar telling him that if he ever met my family or the rest, he wouldn’t trust the bastard. Gravik, not only does he not like him, but it's well known among their people that he's against their people being either intimate or having children with anyone who wasn't a skrull.
Giving Jay a look before telling his father, “We'll continue our talk later, Talos. Tend to your child.”
With Gravik leaving and the rest following him, Talos turned to his son and said, “Hello son, what are you doing up this late? Weren't you supposed to be asleep and resting after the last few days?”
Rubbing his face, he told his father, “I was, but something happened. Can we go talk somewhere more private? There's something important that we need to talk about. Well, more of something that I should've told you much sooner and some news.”
Not knowing what's going on and becoming a bit worried at the look on his kid's face, Talos quickly agreed as he followed son back to his apartment.
Knowing the seriousness when Jay grabbed his wand and warded his place, Talos asked his kid, “Jay, what's wrong?”
Taking a deep breath, he asked his father, “Remember when I mentioned Oskar to you and mom a few years back?”
Confused at what brought this on, he asked Jay, “You interrupted the meeting about this child? What brought this on? Did anything happen to him?”
“Not exactly.” Jay told him as he gestured for his father to have a seat as he continued, “Have a seat dad. There's a few things that you should be aware of, and other things that I should've told you and mom back then. But the thing is, no matter what, until the time comes, Fury can't know.”
At what he said, Talos told him, “If it's something bad, or he's dangerous…”
Interrupting him, “Dad, he's anything but that. Dad, I know we haven't been close since mom passed away, but please, I need you to trust me on this. Fury will know in a few weeks, I promise.”
Wanting to bring back what they had before, and get closer to his kid again, he decided on, “Okay son, I'll hear you out. Now, tell me kiddo.”
So Jay did.
—----------------
(Potter Vault, Gringotts)
When Harrison and Andromeda checked the vault containing heirlooms and artifacts, Harrison was amazed at what he saw. As they both went through everything, Harrison had an eye on one of the heirlooms to give Fred as a gift if the Weasley's turned out innocent and both of them started dating.
When he showed it to Andromeda, she told him that it was beautiful, and could offer it to Fred as a start of courtship between the two of them.
Feeling warm at the thought, Harrison asked her a few questions about what goes on during the courtship which she happily answered as they were led to the second vault that contained the books, journals, and personal items.
When they entered the second vault, following Harrison's lead, they started looking around. The first thing they noticed was a trunk with a note and a letter above it.
In both surprise and confusion, Harrison asked, "Why would my parents leave anything for Snape?”
Walking next to him as she looked at the note, she told him, “I don't know. Leave the note and the letter, we'll find out why when cousin Sirius surrendered himself and read their wills.”
Nodding at what she said, he was even more curious as to why they left him anything before they started to look around. There were more trunks addressed to Sirius, Remus, Frank & Alice Longbottom, McGonagall, Peter Pettigrew (which made Harrison give a disgusted look at the name), Linfred & Isla Potter, and last but not least Harrison.
With an encouraging nudge from Andromeda, Harrison went down on his knees and opened the trunk. The very first that he saw was a letter addressed to him from his parents.
Grabbing it, Harrison opened it and started reading it.
—------------
Dear Harrison,
If you are reading this letter, it means we could not be there for you when you needed us most, and for that, we are truly sorry. No parent ever dreams of leaving their child behind, especially not you, our brave, kind-hearted boy.
This trunk contains pieces of our lives, memories, and lessons we wished to share with you as you grew. Inside, you’ll find photographs, letters, and keepsakes, proof of how deeply we loved you and how proud we are of you, even if we cannot be there to tell you in person.
Harrison, you are so much more than the circumstances that led you to this moment. You come from a legacy of courage and kindness, from families who valued love above all else. Remember always: love is the strongest magic of all.
We hope you will find strength in knowing that you carry a part of us within you. Your father’s determination and mischievous spirit, your mother’s compassion and fierce loyalty, they are all in you, Harry.
You may face challenges that feel insurmountable, but we believe in you. Trust your instincts, choose kindness even in the face of cruelty, and never let anyone make you doubt your worth. You are capable of extraordinary things.
As you open this trunk and discover the pieces of our past, know that we are with you in spirit. Our love for you transcends time and space, and nothing, not even death, can take that away.
Before we end, we must give you one final piece of advice: be wary of Albus Dumbledore. Though he may seem like a beacon of wisdom and kindness, his plans are often shrouded in secrecy, and his methods can be dangerous. He is not a man to be trusted with your future. Stay away from him at all costs, and do not trust him as we once did, Harry. That trust cost us dearly. Protect yourself and those you love.
Be strong, Harrison, and know that you are never truly alone.
With all our love,
Mum and Dad.
—------------
Harrison couldn't stop himself from shedding a tear as he read the letter again. As for Andromeda, gave a soft smile at what they wrote to him.
Making sure that he was done, she told him, “Even your parents at the end didn't trust the bastard.”
Wiping his tears from his face, Harrison asked as he thought to himself, “I wonder why they listened to him if they didn't? Do you think he had my parents under spells as well? Or do you think he made something up that made them follow him without a second thought?”
He had a good point from what he said. Giving it a thought for a moment, she told him, “It's possible that he did, but we won't be sure until we talk to Sirius and have him tell us what happened back then.”
Nodding in acknowledgement, Harrison told her, “I just hope that Sirius gives himself up really soon. I really want to get to know him and for him to meet Oskar, too.”
Putting her hand on his shoulder and slightly squeezed it in reassurance, she had the same thought before telling him, “He will. Aside from finally being set free and giving him a piece of my mind, I have a feeling that Oskar is going to keep us on our toes, especially Sirius.”
Snorting at that, Harry couldn't help himself but say, “You have no idea.”
At the look she gave him, he casually told her, “You should've been with us during his lessons. You'll see when you join us tomorrow.”
With a raised eyebrow, she guesses that she'll find out tomorrow. But for now, she asked, “Let's check everything else, and when we're done if you want I can shrink the trunk your parents left you and take us with you to Oskar and Antony's place and see them there? That way, you can take your time with them after we're back from the ICW. As for the rest of the trunks, let's wait to read your parents' wills to see if they left any instructions first.”
As he nodded, he really wanted to check on Felix after they're done here. He was glad that the Gryffindor vaults would be later when he and Oskar checked together the founders and school vaults.
So he told her, “Yes please.”
Liking that he's more polite than Oskar, she started to shrink the trunk before they checked the rest of the vault.
—------------------
(Hogwarts, Headmaster's Office)
Storming out of the floo into his office after waiting for nothing at the ministry for that bastard to arrive. Dumbledore started muttering to himself angrily, “How dare that good for nothing not show up? And that bitch, doesn't he know who I am? How dare she not go and drag him from where he was?”
Dumbledore started pacing through his office, not noticing that some of the books on the shelves and the Gryffindor sword started to disappear from his office.
Watching it happen, some of the portraits started chuckling, while Phineas Black couldn't help himself but give a smirk at what he was seeing.
Then, to Phineas himself, the best and most hilarious scene he saw was what happened next when an owl with a letter that just arrived for the old bastard.
Snatching the letter from the owl that gave him a glare before flying away again, Dumbledore's magic exploded in the room as he started to read what was sent to him.

Gringotts Bank
Office of the Goblin King, Ragnok
Gringotts Wizarding Bank, Diagon Alley
Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore
Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry
Headmaster's Office
Dear Headmaster Dumbledore,
I write to inform you of the conclusion of a thorough audit and reclamation process conducted by Gringotts Bank regarding the unauthorized appropriation of funds from the Black, Peverell, and Potter family vaults. After extensive investigation and magical verification, it has been determined that a significant amount of gold and other resources from these vaults were improperly diverted to your personal vaults, the Phoenix Foundation, and other channels.
Effective immediately, all funds and assets unlawfully removed have been returned to their rightful owners. Additionally, any businesses or properties purchased using the diverted funds have been reclaimed and reassigned to the respective family estates of the Black, Peverell, and Potter lines.
Furthermore, our records indicate that you still owe a combined total of:
- 2,934,261 Galleons,
- 600,000 Sickles, and
- 300,000 Knuts in accrued interest.
You are hereby given a period of three months from the date of this letter to settle the outstanding debt in full. Failure to comply within this timeframe will result in Gringotts taking the following actions:
- The absorption of all vaults under the Dumbledore family name.
- The seizure of all properties and businesses initially under the Dumbledore family, which will then be reassigned to the Black, Peverell, and Potter family estates as compensation.
- Immediate escalation of the matter to the Department of Magical Law Enforcement (DMLE) for legal enforcement and recovery.
Additionally, the Phoenix Foundation Vault has already been officially closed and absorbed into the bank’s holdings as part of the rectification process. Any future attempts to establish similar accounts or foundations using misappropriated funds will result in further legal consequences and intervention by the goblin nation.
Gringotts values its role as a neutral entity dedicated to fairness and financial security for all account holders. However, we cannot and will not tolerate actions that undermine these principles.
We trust you will address this matter with the seriousness it warrants.
Sincerely,
Ragnok
King of the Goblin Nation
Head of Gringotts Wizarding Bank

Dumbledore started yelling, saying, “Who does those fucking creatures think they are to demand such a thing? I'm the bastard magical guardian. How in the bloody hell did that worthless being find out? Bogrod and I were really careful about the rest? How in hell were they able to do audits without my consent? I made sure that Potter had no idea, especially with his mails being forwarded to me instead of my pawn.”
Loud laughter that came from the portraits interrupted his ranting. Turning towards them, he told them, “What are you laughing at, you useless beings?”
As his smirk grew wider, Phineas pointed out to the rest of the room as he informed him, “I guess someone took hold of Harrison Potter and found my family heir.”
Looking around his office, he finally realized that the books and relics that he took from the Potters and kept here were missing, as well as the Gryffindor sword.
Making a snarl sound, Dumbledore destroyed his office even more before he finally rearranged and fixed his office before he stormed out towards the floo so he'd go to Gringotts before going to the good for nothing Dursleys to check on his pawn.
—------------------
(Peverell Vault, Gringotts)
As the door to the vault opened and a few fire torches lit, knowing that one of the vault's securities was to forbid anyone from entering the vaults for the exception of certain people.
Himself, and the current head of the goblin nation at the time. Which was Ragnoks grandfather. That's why the guard is waiting for him to enter before the vault door closes.
As he entered the Heirships, Artifacts, Books vault and the door closed behind him, instead of looking at what's in the vault, Oskar walked past them as he searched for what he was looking for.
Finding the portrait, Oskar grabs the small dagger that was placed next to it, made a small cut to his finger, and used the small amount of blood that was coming out by putting it on the edge of the portrait and pushed his magic into it as well.
After a few moments, the portrait finally came to live as Cadmus Peverell appeared in front of him.
Looking at Oskar up and down, Cadmus told him, “It's good to finally meet you, Oskar.”
Having both a gut and a bad feeling about this, Oskar warily asked him, “How did you…”
“Know who you are?” Cadmus finished what Oskar was asking.
Gulping,as Oskar gave a nod, Cadmus asked, “Before I do, just to confirm, it's July 1st, 2014, correct?”
Hating to wait, Oskar told him, “It is, now out with it already?”
Giving him an amused look, Cadmus told him, “You're smart, think it through? How could I know?”
Wanting to facepalm, Oskar asked him, “Like me or like Luna?” Pausing for a moment, then asked, “You know Luna, right?” At the look he gave him, Oskar muttered, “Of course you do.”
Chuckling, Cadmus told him, “I was good friends with Xenophilius' and Pandora's ancestors, but no, I'm just like you.”
Oskar started pacing as he tried to rethink everything he knew, went through, and what he's been seeing in the last few months. Especially the ones that he started seeing recently.
Stopping in front of the portrait, facing Cadmus, Oskar asked accusingly, “How much is true? And even though I don't have access to my full ability yet until I'm seventeen, why can't I see everything that I need to see? Especially in relation to what I already know? More importantly, since I can't reach the ancient one no matter what I do, why didn't mum and I die when I was a little kid? Because if what you're saying is true and you're just like me, then you damn right would know that we should have died that day.”
Seeing Oskar glaring at him, Cadmus started with, “First and utmost thing you need to know is that I can't and won't tell you everything.”
When Oskar was about to yell at him, Cadmus stopped him as he continued, “It has nothing to do with me not wanting to tell you. The reason is because there are things that you need to learn or do on your own. From what you already know about our powers, even if we're the same, if you tell someone about certain events, what would happen most of the time? If not all the time?”
Not liking this at all, Oskar answered him, “They may not happen.”
Nodding in approval, Cadmus added, “And certain events that need to happen won't happen…”
“If I took a shortcut to do what I need to know or do.” Oskar finished for him.
Nodding again, Cadmus started with, “For now, I can tell you what you and Michael thought was spot on. As for you and Luna, well, that's a little bit complicated, and let's not forget to mention that you're going to try and punch a few people, including Lady Fate, which is very acceptable, and I approve, by the way.”
Rubbing his hands, and with a devilish grin, Oskar told him, “Good. Now since I have no idea when we're meeting the cunts, can you please tell me when? Also, start spilling everything. Why can't I see everything that I know that I should be able to see but can't? And not to mention Katarzyna, the serum, and the resurrection stone. Plus, I already know I'm meeting with the ancient one, Wong, death, and apparently Fate. Who else would be joining them?”
Barely finishing what he said, Oskar added, “You know what? Start from the beginning, you better be telling me every single detail and do not miss anything. I mean it.”
Chuckling at Oskar's glare, Cadmus started, “I was a bit older than you were when I had my first vision…”
When he had his first vision at home, his parents quickly knew what was happening. They waited for his vision to end before they sat him and his brothers down and explained what had happened and that he was a true seer.
Now, a true seer was extremely rare. It only happened twice before him. Not only that, but true seers come only from their line. Also, the ability appears when one is truly needed for something really big that is yet to come.
When Oskar was about to interrupt, he quickly shut up and gave a sheepish look when Cadmus gave him a pointed look.
Taking it as a win, Cadmus continued, of course he didn't believe it that much at first since he didn't really believe in divination and stuff like that until it happened a few more times.
Nodding in understanding, Oskar remembered his mom's reaction when it started to happen with him.
When he finally believed his parents, they took him to this very vault as they grabbed the trunks that contained all the books and knowledge that they owned and their ancestors, the previous True Seers had learnt and gathered during their time.
Seeing Oskar perk at that, Cadmus told him after he was done. That led Oskar to pout at the unfairness of not getting them now.
Chuckling, Cadmus went on. From what his parents told him and his brothers, whether at the time or later, they would've informed the siblings when they were old enough to prepare them in case of when one of their descendants became a true seer.
Oskar nodded as he agreed with the parents. Cadmus continued by saying after being taught their true family history, he added that their family were well known at being inventors, and one of the best in the world. Which Oskar later on would go and check the invention vault.
The reason Cadmus mentioned this was because they are items that they would need when certain occasions require them. He also told him that there's a lot of things that were invented. Some of them help them in what they need, some to make things or help others to have a better life or improve, while others, even if they've never been used…
“You would never know when and if you'll ever need or use them. While some ends up stored away for a long time as they're never needed. Better have knowledge and not use it, than need it but not have it.” Oskar finished in understanding.
Looking at him in surprise, Cadmus said, “I remember seeing you working on things to improve earth's environment, but you already have something laying around that you won't be using or implementing?”
Giving him a nod, Oskar told him, “I have a few things that I'm starting to implement and about to implement soon. About half of them within the next five to ten years. As for some, at the moment, muggles are either nowhere ready for it, or not as advanced or have the technology yet to implement them. While about eight of my ideas might take a few generations to implement if my calculations are correct. The environment ones, might take a few months, as long as eighteen, need to ease it in before releasing the idea to the public.”
Nodding in acknowledgement, Cadmus continued. After a few years of training the siblings, especially him with his abilities, during that time, they thought that him becoming a true seer was because of a bastard called Vortigern, who experimented with both dark and ancient magic to rule over Great Britain. He experimented on Veela's, werewolves, vampires, and others to create his perfect army to rule over Britain and expand through Europe.
So they contacted guardians that their parents knew, including Luna's ancestors, the Veela Council (that consists of the only seven high-full veela), the then alpha of the largest werewolf pack in Europe, and count dracula and stopped him. When they succeeded at stopping him, they made a secret vow to keep Cadmus' ability a secret because of what he did to help and save their people from Vortigern, and he could have done it successfully if it wasn't for Cadmus.
But they were wrong as it was far from it. They thought that's why his abilities appeared until the day he saw a vision that included the six infinity stones, Steve Rogers, Hydra, Stark and his suit, the Avengers, Thanos, the snap, the resurrection stone, and finally, Oskar at the center of it all as he took charge.
Hating that he might be right about this and wanting it to be false, Oskar laughed as he told him, “You almost got it right. Everything you said is true, but the last part. True that myself and the rest would be joining the fight, but we're doing it behind the scenes, not actually joining the fight or anything.”
Giving him another pointed look, Cadmus told him, “Oskar, who are you kidding? We both know that's not true, and that you already saw that you would be dealing with most of his shit head-on.”
Sighing in defeat, Oskar muttered, “Yeah, yeah, go on. I doubt that's the only thing that you saw happen.”
After he was done, Cadmus told him that the moment he came out of the vision he made a prophecy, and the moment he uttered the last word of the prophecy, the ancient one, Wong, Uatu the watcher, Lady Magic, Lady fate, Lady Life, Lord Death, Lord Time, Lady destiny…”
Interrupting him again, Oskar had to ask, “I know most of them can go back and forth in time with Lord time or separately, but how the hell did the ancient one and Wong get there? She was born 150 years after you died, and Wong is barely over forty years old. I know that Lord time…”
Oscar immediately stopped what he was saying as his brain went back to what Cadmus had said and asked, “What's the prophecy?”
With a soft smile, even though he knew that Oskar was going to freak out a bit when he told him, he asked Oskar first, “Think about it. If Lord Time can't or even if he could, didn't take them. How could they go back?”
Thinking about it for a moment until it hit him, Oskar told him, well more like demanded by the end, “She used the time stone. But why? And why was I never saw any of this or the prophecy? As a matter of fact, why have I never been able to see most things regarding you, Katarzyna, what you both are hiding in certain vaults, the full scope of certain visions… you know what? Forget those for a moment, why did I never find out about the prophecy? Shouldn't I be able to know about it? And above all, what's so important about the prophecy that made them all come the moment you uttered it? Also, where do Luna's ancestors play in all of this? Who are the other guardians that you contacted?...”
“Oskar, calm down and let me continue to tell you everything before you read the prophecy.” Cadmus said, Interrupting his rambling.
With a glare, Oskar demanded, “And why not now?”
Giving him a flat look, Cadmus told him in return, “Because we both know that the moment you read it, you'll stop listening to anything I'd say.”
Keeping his glare, Oskar huffed and said as he pointed to the corner of the vault, “Fine. But first, what's in those trunks?”
Rubbing his face, Cadmus sighed as he told him, “The gold one, it's a ten compartment trunk that contains all the information and books about us and our abilities. I made ten copies with each one in one of those navy blue trunks. As for the yellow, it's a three compartment trunk containing items that would help or assist you in certain abilities. I've also made spares for them and they're in those ten bright blue trunks. As for the white and green, they are the same but for Luna and her seer abilities that her ancestors made, and just like you, they each made ten copies and spares in the green and gold. The two different shades of grays are for Michael and Elena, the additional trunks are the same as you two. After you're O.W.L'S, you'll take one of each of the navy and bright blue, as for the other three, when you leave here, you will contact them to come and make a high security vault each, put two of each of the copies and spare in those vaults. Then wait after your vaults for the four of you to take one of each to your new place you're moving in soon. There's also a few things you're going to need in the invention vault, but you can't access all of them for now until you're ready. Finally, as for the remaining trunks, you'll learn when certain people, aside from the Delacour and the Krums, join your group. And for the love of god, follow the notes in them for the first while until you master everything, understood?”
His glare turned into a pout as he couldn't access everything right now, and probably for good reasons, Oskar nodded and gestured for him to continue what he was saying.
“Now that I have your full attention again.” Cadmus told him as he went back to retelling his story.
Heimdall, Odin, Frigga, and the one above all appeared inside their home right after he finished the prophecy.
At the mention of the first three and Uatu earlier, he was surprised as to why they would join. At the last one, and remembering Uatu, one of the watchers, Oskar gulped. If the creator of the multiverse is involved, then it must be either big or he's royally and utterly screwed.
After all, The One Above All is the supreme being and ultimate deity. It is the omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent creator of everything, including all dimensions, multiverses, and beings. The One Above All is above all cosmic entities like the Living Tribunal and represents the pinnacle of power, embodying pure love, goodness, and creative energy.
Often depicted as an unseen force, it has occasionally taken forms to communicate. The One Above All is rarely involved in events, stepping in only for matters of universal significance. It serves as the ultimate moral authority and is considered the Marvel equivalent of God.
Giving Oskar a moment to let it sink in, Cadmus asked him, “What were you able to learn about the infinity stone so far?”
Confused at why being asked this as they both knew he knew, Oskar told him briefly, “The Infinity Stones are six powerful artifacts, each representing and granting mastery over a fundamental aspect of existence. When used individually, each stone gives its wielder significant abilities tied to its domain. When combined, they grant the user near-omnipotence, allowing control over all of reality.”
Giving him a nod, Cadmus told him that even though Oskar was right, it was slightly different in their universe. When the big bang happened and their universe was created, unbeknownst to the one above all until shortly after it happened, in their universe a seventh stone had been created alongside the other six.
“Let me guess, the resurrection stone.” Oskar told him, really really starting to hate this when he saw the look on Cadmus when he asked, “How could he not prevent it, make it disappear or revert it if he's all powerful and almighty?”
Cadmus simply told him, “There are things that even the One Above All does not know, and he's intrigued by it.”
Thinking through what he was just told, Oskar gulped as he asked, “I presume he's getting involved because you saw the stone in your vision?”
Nodding, Cadmus added, “And it's mentioned in the prophecy.”
Slowly nodding, having a gut feeling he's going to lose it when he reads the prophecy, he gestured for Cadmus to continue first so he could know everything first before he lost it.
So, after the one above all explained to him and his family the stones and the role of each of the original six and their domain. As for the seventh, it's domain and has control over fate, life, and death.
Having a gut feeling, Oskar asked, “Let me guess, the deathly hallows are fake. One of the plans or things you did was to create a fake/prototype of the resurrection stone, then made the elder wand, the invisibility cloak and made a fake story here on earth so no one can come after the real one.”
Nodding proudly at how Oskar is figuring things out quickly. Cadmus added, since he's a true seer, and he had full access to his abilities, the one above all told him as a practice, to look at all possibilities to choose which timeline was the best route to take and act accordingly.
Which he did, which led them to work with Luna's ancestors. Certain things were done, planned, even created by them.
Each one had a part to play. Through the time stone, the ancient one and Wong would go to a certain time and moment to either do and implement a plan, or give letters and instructions to people who would have a hand in helping secure what needed to be done, including saving both Oskar and his mother from Dumbledore when they should've died when he was a kid. Unfortunately, from the beginning, in every timeline, they knew that Katarzyna would take it this far with her son to make what she was told happen, but there was no other way but to let it be. Bringing in the Corner, Delacour, Krum, the Rodriguez, and certain families at the right moment to prepare and turn their families into becoming guardians even if they didn't know the full scope.
As for Uatu, Lady's Magic, Fate, and Life, and Lords Death, Time, and Destiny would watch in case anything needed to be interfered with. Again, here's why he's going to want to punch Fate. There's two timelines where their plans succeed. She was bored and wanted something more interesting to entertain herself.
At the pause, Oskar just knew what he was implying, and with a murderous look, he said, “I'm gonna kill that cunt.”
Snorting, Cadmus told him, “Trust me, when I saw what she did, I slapped her. Even the rest tried to stop her, but what's done was done and we couldn't undo it as it was fated.”
Clenching his fists, Oskar asked, “What about the asgardians? The One Above All? And what's the role of Wakanda in all of this? And more importantly, why have I never been able to know or see all of this?”
Cadmus told him that the Asgardians, they were told what's going to happen until before the snap to make some preparations, certain things to be done to help both them and Oskar at the right time, and Heimdall would be assisting Oskar when asked. Then, he informed Oskar that Odin was expecting to meet him on earth before his death. After all, earth is one of the realms that are protected by Asgard.
As for the Wakandan, since the magical community and the kingdom are integrated, with the help of the ancient one, Wong, and Lady Magic, four things have happened. First, they stopped his assassination by a foreign spy when the king was abroad and gave him to the king, giving them gratitude. Second, he brought them in on what's going on. Third, since the Peverells are the original creators of the sling rings that were made for the sorcerers (one of the Peverell ancestors who was a squib, joined the sorcerers and was able to create a better transportation), with some improvements, the ancient one used the ring to help Wakandan's transport the vibranium from the Atlantic ocean, back to Wakanda. This led to the stop of the rise of Namor, the Talokan kingdom and the future war with them from ever happening. Finally, teaching them how to make sonic stabilizers that can deactivate vibranium, making it safer to be transported, which by now, Shuri, the current king's daughter, should have made some improvements and upgrades to make it even better than Cadmus own designs, even if she's just as old as Oskar.
With the gratitude of the Wakandan King, he offered Cadmus two favors and a certain gift for putting a stop to the attempted assassination, for helping with the second vibranium stockpile, and for the sonic stabilizers. Knowing the future and what Oskar was going to face, Cadmus asked if they could be transferred to Oskar with when they would be used or asked for then. This led to both the King and Cadmus drafting a contract between them and signing it.
Okay, so far, Oskar can get down with that, but he still kept thinking why Cadmus keeps postponing the one above all part or why he didn't see any of this before? and why he couldn't see or finish certain visions or certain occurrences that he tried to see before until it suddenly hit him.
Blurting it out, Oskar said, “One Above All is the one stopping me from seeing certain events in the future, what you guys did, certain past events, general knowledge and erasing from everything the existence of the seventh stone, the resurrection stone.”
At the impressed look that Cadmus gave him, Oskar told him, “I'm spot on, aren't I?”
When he received a nod, hating his life, Oskar told him, “Before you tell me where that prophecy is to read it, I have some questions about your invention vault, two of Katarzyna vaults, and a few general ones that I need to ask first. Starting with, when am I meeting them? And am I going to have full access to what's being blocked from me soon, or am I going to wait just like you until I'm seventeen?”
Giving him a soft smile, Cadmus told him, “They'll be meeting you tonight with some additional guests. Make sure that everyone currently involved is at your home, including your soulmates and their parents. In William Weasley's case, his older brother. As to what's being blocked from you, it's already started to be reversed and just for you at the moment before the whispers about you start to spread around the universe. Now, ask away.”
Taking a deep breath, Oskar started.
—----------------
(Gringotts)
As Oskar entered the Peverell Vault earlier that day, Dumbledore arrived at the Leaky Cauldron to go to the bank and check with Bogrod the nonsense that was sent to him.
Even wanting nothing but to blast everyone that keeps stopping him to either have a chat or anything else, he had to keep it nice, civil, and the lovable grandfatherly figure that everyone sees in him. After all, he wasn't the master of manipulation for nothing.
When he reached the front of Gringotts, Dumbledore slightly froze in his place as his eyes went wide at what was being exhibited. Bogrod's head was on a spike right above the doors where they show what happens to the goblins who either steal from their customers or break any of their laws.
Quickly coming out of it, he was glad no one noticed when he looked around to make sure and entered the bank.
Reaching the front desk, trying his best not to lash out, and asking the filthy creature casually as he didn't see him earlier, “I would like to talk to my account manager.”
Raising his head, the goblin sneered as he was excited about what's going to happen in a few moments, told him with a sneer, “Please wait for a moment, Mr. Dumbledore.”
Before Dumbledore could say anything, the goblin quickly left, leaving behind a shocked goat. As for Dumbles, he was furious. Who does that filth think to treat him like that? Doesn't he know who he is? I can't wait until the next Wizengamot session to add more painful laws and restrictions on those bastards. That will show them.
His trail of thoughts was interrupted by the arrival of Ragnok, who said, “How may I help you, Mr. Dumbledore? And before you say you want your account manager, I do believe you saw his severed head hanging above our front doors for theft.”
As furious as he was from within, Dumbledore gave him both the letter and his magical guardianship over Harry and said, “There must be a mistake. As the magical guardian of Harry Potter, I assure you there has been no theft to either the Potter and Peverell vaults. As for the Black vault, I gave Bogrod years ago a written consent from Sirius Black to make certain withdrawals.”
Looking between the guardian papers and Dumbledore, Ragnok put them aside as he told the old bastard, “Your guardianship over heir Potter was never valid. As we both know that neither the late Lord and lady Potter never assigned you to be their son's guardian, nor their wills were opened to be sure. Second, even if it were to be true you are no longer his guardian as proof was shown to us through an inheritance test that he has a brother, and that brother took guardianship of heir Potter, and demanded a full audit of all his accounts. As for the Blacks, there's a new Lord Black, and since that piece of paper you mentioned doesn't exist, he demanded a full audit and for everything that was stolen to be returned. As we mentioned, you have three months to pay what's due or it would be taken with Madame Bones.”
Dumbledore couldn't take any more, “Now listen here, I'm Harry's magical guardian, and he doesn't have any brother. As for the Blacks, I assure you it is correct, and Sirius cannot be a Lord as he is a criminal on the run.”
Loving how he's gaining viewers, just to piss him off even more, and sending him on an unsuccessful hunt, Ragnok told him, “It's Harrison Potter, who's now living with his new guardians. Second, who mentioned Sirius Black? Aside from him being innocent, it isn't him who's the new Lord. Now, good day Dumbledore, as we mentioned, you have three months.”
With that, Ragnok turned and left, leaving behind a furious looking Dumbass. As furious as he was, he also started panicking. What the hell does he mean living with his new guardians? And if not Sirius, who's the new Lord Black?
It can't be true, as both his spells and blood protection that he had placed didn't notify him that the pawn was taken. As for the Black brat, he can't be the new Lord as he's too young to take the Lordship, and even by any miracle he was able to, the law is on his side and neither can take their seats at the Wizengamot. After all, he was certain that it was neither the brat nor the Malfoy brat who's the new Lord.
If what he was told is true, he needs to act quickly. He quickly turned around, stormed out of the bank as people watched and whispered at what they just saw. Once he was out of the bank, he apparated to the Dursleys to check on his pawn.
—---------------‐–
(Dursley household)
With her husband left for work, and her diddykins god bless his soul, sleeping in his room, Petunia Dursley was sitting in the kitchen enjoying her tea glad that the freak was gone when a sudden pop came from behind her making her jump from her place in surprise.
Turning around, as she saw who it was, she started yelling, “You need to leave this, you freak. We were happy and glad when your freakish people came and took that good for nothing freak. We won't have any of your freakishness in our home anymore. Leave n…”
She wasn't able to finish what she was saying as Dumbledore casted ‘Petrificus Totalus’ on her before he used Legilimency to see who took the bastard child.
The more he looked, the paler he became. Why in the bloody hell would McGonagall take them to the pawn? Doesn't she know how she just ruined and destroyed everything he's been working towards? Above all that, why is that old fool Gagos with them?
Quickly getting out of her mind, undid the spell, and before she could continue yelling, he yelled, “Do you know what you and your pig of a husband just did? You might just have ruined our world. Just pray that I could fix this before you and soon to be, pork of a husband, go to jail.”
Turning into several pale white colors, Petunia started to stutter, “We won't…”
“Just hope I can bring him back or going to jail is going to be the least of your worries.” Albus told her before storming out of the house and towards Arabella Figg house.
Arriving at her house, he became even more furious when neither her nor her army of kneazles were present in the house.
He needed to have an upper hand over this before it escalates and get back Harry under his thumb before it's too late. If nothing works, then he'll get rid of the two bastards and start with his plan B with the Longbottom child. First, he needs to find Fudge, Bones, Andromeda, and McGonagall before he reaches out to the old Gagos and demands to give him back Potter.
—-----------------
(Hong Kong Sanctum)
Arriving at the room where the meeting would be held with the others with Wong.
Wong asked her, “How long do you think until the boy slaps her?”
Making a thoughtful look, “Not long after introductions.”
Giving her his signature look, he told her, “You're giving the boy too much credit.”
Turning towards him as she removed her hat backwards, she asked him, “If you think you know him best, when do you think he'll do it?”
Smirking, Wong told her, “I do, and I have a feeling that during introductions, the boy would either slap or punch her.”
Before the ancient one could speak, Uatu, Heimdall, and certain beings appeared in front of them, as Lady Destiny announced, “It has begun.”
—----------------------
(Peverell Vault, Gringotts)
Taking a deep breath, Oskar asked his final question, “Okay, where is the real resurrection stone?”
Giving him a sorry look, Cadmus told him, “It's not time for you to have it.”
When Oskar was about to yell at him, Cadmus quickly continued, “It's not time because you aren't ready yet. Just like you, Elena, and the rest had planned, and when the time comes, you'll know. Just let your abilities guide you to where it's hidden, and there you will be judged if you are ready or not.”
Rubbing his face and accepting it as is, Oskar said, “Fine, I'll go with it. Can you at least tell me who would be judging me?”
Smiling, Cadmus told him, “I can tell you who he is but not what he is, if that makes any sense.”
Glaring at him again, Oskar told him, “That doesn't make any fucking sense.”
Chuckling, Cadmus told him, “Okay, okay. Remember when you said that your first familiar is in the Ta Lo dimension and you're finally going to meet him around your birthday? But no matter what you tried to do you can't find your second familiar or actually find what he/she is?”
“Please no,” Oskar thought as he gave him a nod. With a grin, Cadmus told him, “Well, aside from the possibility of meeting your first familiar sooner than your birthday, the stone is being guarded by your second familiar, and he'll be judging you when the time comes when you know that it's time to get it.”
When he was about to ask, Cadmus told him, “I can't and won't tell you. I can guide you, and can help you in certain ways, but I cannot and will not tell you what to do. I have faith in you child, and I know you will do magnificent things. All you have to do is believe and trust in yourself.”
Crossing his arms and pouting, he knew he was being childish, well sue him, after all he's thirteen, almost fourteen. He's allowed to be a bit childish.
With a huff, Oskar told him, “Fine. Now where is that damn prophecy?”
Finally, after Cadmus told him where the prophecy was, Oskar grabbed the envelope, opened it, unfolded the parchment, and started reading.
Once he was done, the only thing that came out of his mouth was, “Nonononono. Please, no. Anything but this. Why me? Why is it always fucking me?”
—---------------------
In the boundless expanse of creation’s forge, where galaxies waltz to the hymn of eternity, a champion rises—foretold in whispers among the stars. Born beneath the confluence of constellations, his coming is etched into the fabric of destiny, a force destined to tip the scales of existence.
He is the Griffin’s heir, both eagle and lion, bound to the majesty of the skies and the unyielding strength of the earth. The Griffin marks him as the harbinger of balance, the guardian of realms, and the bane of unyielding tyranny.
Gifted with the sight of the true seer and magic unmatched, he navigates the labyrinth of fate with unparalleled wisdom. In his hands rests the seventh stone of creation, the dominion over fate, life, and death—a relic that bridges the finite and infinite, born of resurrection’s promise and eternity’s decree. This stone, unlike all others, is a key that unlocks the harmony of existence, holding power to unmake that which seeks to unwrite creation.
From the ashes of despair and the shadows of obliteration, he arises, the tempest and the calm. His magic, a symphony of light and storm, thunders across the battlefield, dissolving armies and silencing the relentless advance of annihilation.
An architect of hope, he stands unyielding as darkness threatens to consume all. His spirit, forged in the crucible of grief and triumph, radiates with unshakable resolve. Where others falter, he soars, a beacon of light piercing the shroud of despair, rekindling the flame of unity in the hearts of those who stand with him.
The guardians of old, creatures forgotten by time, rally to his call, stirred from their slumber by his unrelenting will. The Griffin, his celestial companion, descends from the heavens to fight by his side, a symbol of his destined might and eternal purpose. Together, they reshape the tides of destiny, casting the darkness into the abyss from which it came.
In the final reckoning, when the stars weep and the heavens quake, he faces the architect of destruction. Their clash echoes across realms, a battle of cosmic magnitude, where creation itself holds its breath. Wielding the sacred relic imbued with the essence of fate, life, and death, his every action resonates with existence’s unyielding defiance of oblivion, and with each strike, he unravels the threads of his enemy’s dominion.
When the dawn rises on a new age, his legacy is etched across realms—a sentinel who wove unity from division, who stood between the abyss and creation. Magic and the mundane unite under his stewardship, their destinies entwined in harmony. By the end, his deeds and unwavering courage will earn him the eternal title of Guardian, a protector not of one realm, but of all existence.
He is the Griffin’s Sentinel, the light in the shadow, the keeper of life’s eternal spark, and the guardian of hope everlasting. Where he walks, despair falters, and where he soars, eternity finds its balance.
