For you, my brightest star

Harry had, as the young Black had instructed, wrote a letter to Charlus Potter the same evening after returning from the shrieking shack requesting a meeting with the man and his family and signed it off with his real name. The reply had came around noon the next day. Apparently, due to the poor health of the current Lord and lady of house Potter, Fleamont and Euphemia Potter, it was decided that their son and only heir, James will take on the lordship of the house. And Fleamont had requested his cousin to guide James in his duties as the head of the house. That is why Charlus, Dorea and Kayden had come back to London just a few days ago from a countryside in far off corner of British Isles where they had been living until now.

The reply from Charlus stated that his family had recently shifted back to their London residence and thus meeting will have to wait for 2 days so that they could get properly situated. It was also full of thinly veiled threat if Harry had malicious intent towards the family then he will face fate worse then death. Harry understands, of course he does that with the ongoing war these people will have their guards up all the time especially when a stranger with the same family name emerges out of nowhere. The letter had apparition coordinates for Harry to the current residence of the three potters in a townhouse.

Harry was really nervous when the actual day of the meeting arrived.

When he meets Charlus, he was reminded about how people used to compare him to his father but in reality he thinks that there is a similarity in all male Potters, seeing as Kayden Potter could be easily called James’ twin what with his unruly hair and tall height and face structure. It all hints at their bloodline. Harry felt tears form in his eyes at this. In reality it was a really stupid thing to get overwhelmed over. But he felt a sense of security in meeting his magical relatives. Harry supposes this must be how Ron must have felt. Harry thought that the love he did not receive as an orphan wizard and as a neglected and abused child, he had got them from his pseudo family, the Weasley’s but that was nothing compared to the sense of belonging he feels just from the similarity in physical characteristics with these people.

That was until he looked at Dorea Potter. And all of a sudden he feels a flare of panic grip his heart and squeeze the life out of him just for a second before he realises where is he and who is he meeting. The resemblance between Dorea Potter and Bellatrix Lestrange is too much for Harry’s comfort. She has the same calculating grey eyes and curly Black hairs. Long height, just a few inches short of her husband.

Kayden must have received some of the Black features from his mother's side of his family. His eyes are also grey in colour, a shade darker from Dorea’s.

Harry realises that just like he is observing them, they are doing him the same courtesy. He tries to imagine what he must look like to them. Just like Kayden’s Potter features are diluted by his Black ancestry, Harry’s Potter features have been subdued by his muggleborn mother and her heritage. His height is slightly less than an average potter because of years of malnutrition. His eyes are not the Potter warm brown, it’s bottle green of his mother’s, which he has got covered with eye lenses of jade green colour. (He still wears his prescription glasses, lenses are only used to change eye colour) That is because he loves his eye colour and did not want to change them too much. He just does not want even a little suspicion drawn on him.

Harry will do very well to remember that in any time he will remain an orphan. These James and Lily are not his parents. Nor will they ever be. He had spent his all life with people telling him that he looks exactly like his father with his mother’s eyes. Now, his eyes colour had changed and the features that he has inherited from his father are common Potter characteristics. So he should be safe from any super observing person coming to the conclusion that he has eerily similar characteristics to James Potter and Lily Evans.

When Harry gets watched for a long period by all three of them that it starts to creep him out, he clears his throat and asks, “Have you got the family quill as I requested in the letter?, sir.”

Charlus Potter, summons some parchment and takes out a box that has what Harry assumes to be Potter family crest on it from the breast pocket of his robes.

Harry takes a notice of how all three of them are dressed up in traditional wizard clothes. He had always assumed that Potters would have used muggle things, he does not know why he thought so. Maybe because he himself despite being the heir of such an old family, was brought up like a muggle. Or maybe because his mother was a muggleborn and he could never imagined any Potter other than he himself and his parents. Beyond that his thinking never went. Now here he is sitting with three proper pureblood wizards.

Mr. Potter sends the family quill and parchment over to Harry wordlessly. Harry takes the quill and write down his name on the parchment. Though the working of the quill is the same as the blood quill he was forced to use by umbridge in his fifth year, this one does not cause any scar on Harry’s hand when it draws his blood and it does not hurt him. It feels quite familiar to use as if it’s Harry’s own.

Once Harry writes his name, his full name this time i.e. along with his middle name, he sets the quill carefully on the table. The three potters move forwards and watch the result of this short proof of Harry’s genealogy.

Below Harry’s name appears his date of birth, his parents’ name and the name of his grandparents on both sides in bright red colour of his blood

Charlus and Kayden have pure shock written on their faces. Dorea's eyes widens a little bit other than that she has no visible reaction.

Then Harry slowly takes out his wand and after a slight nod of approval from Charlus, he casts the two spells that Regulus had taught him. First, the spell ensuring that he is only telling the truth and the second one ensuring that what he is about to tell will not be revealed to anyone who is not a Potter.

This time Dorea accesses him and something akin to approval is shining in her eyes. Harry who had learned from a very little age to gauge the mood of uncle Vernon and aunt petunia, does not mind the stoic mask Mrs. Potter had wore on her face. Harry assumes this might be one of the things people are intimidated about Blacks but Harry knows to read emotions of a person due to his childhood. A small twitch of eyes shows aunt petunia beginning to get irritated. A small curl of lips while eating food means the food is delicious but since it is cooked by Harry there will be no praise offered.

Still, all three of them had not uttered a single word and Harry once again to fill the silence start narrating his past to them. He does not go in too much details. Just the basic working of Harry Potter’s life. His early life with his muggle relatives. His Hogwarts letter, meeting with Hagrid. His friendship with Ron and Hermione. His encounter with Voldemort and the whole issue with the philosopher’s stone. His second year at Hogwarts. Harry skips his third year as he thinks that maybe Mrs Potter will react poorly if she hears about the hardship that Sirius had faced. Harry does not know what is the relationship between the two and decides it’s better to skip it for now and lays main focus on Voldemort. He tells them about his resurrection, his link to Harry, though once again he trims the whole encounter in department of mysteries and focuses on the prophecy featuring Harry and Voldemort. He tells them about Dumbledore’s death. Attack at Hogwarts, searching of horcruxes, capture at Malfoy manor, their attempt to steal from Gringotts. And the final battle with Voldemort. By the time he tells them about his conversation with death and the option he choose, his throat is dry like a sand paper and his breathing is irregular due to all the emotions that evoked from this narration of scoops from his life.

Kayden has an awestruck expression on his face, with a smirk he says, “You really outdid your father in all the adventures he claimed to be having with his best mates in his letters from school, hmm.”

Harry rolls his eyes, “I had had adventures of a lifetime in my almost 18 years of life.”

“Why us? Why not reach your grandparents or parents?” Asks Mr Potter.

Harry sighs, “I would have gone to my grandparents, but I knew they were ill and are currently admitted in St. Mungo’s. As to my parents. I didn’t want to tell them about my real identity. Death had especially advised me to remember that they are not and never will be my parents. They are both too young and naïve to see what future holds. Fighting in a war had broken that illusion to some extent but not as much that they lose trust and hope in our society and I would like to keep it that way. War is reason enough for the pressure on their shoulders, I don’t want to add to it. ”

“so, you won’t tell them. Not ever.” Asks Kayden.

“No.” Harry replies. “ I just want for the war to end. That’s what I am here for.”

“No. There must be something personal that you are not telling us. But it’s ok to keep some things to you. I just have one question to ask. What happened to my husband and son in your timeline?”

Harry marvelled at the intelligence of this woman. It’s true that Harry had not told them about Sirius being his soul mate and that was a very big reason for him selecting the second option given by death. Also she did not ask about her own future just that of her husband and her son.

“I am sorry Mrs Potter but I don’t know what happened to you all. The only thing I know for sure is that you died before my parents and that James took the lordship of the house in this year because the current Lord was ill. Beyond that I don’t know anything.”

They all three appear to be lost in their own thoughts. Harry assumes that it must be too much information dump in one day. When neither of them have expected anything close to it. Harry was here from a future that was much too dark with a battle taking place in a school full of children. He had the key and experience to end this war.

Understanding that even if they trust him, they will need time, he takes his leave by telling them to contact him if they believe him, even though all four of them know that he cannot lie due to that spell and the story was much too strange to be a trap. That along with magic's mark on his arm, which all three of them recognised, all of them knew that Harry only spoke the truth but at the end wanting to help a person who intends to fight a dark Lord is risky. They had a family to think about.

Lastly he mentioned that he does not want anything more that a certified background story about his past so that no one will try to peak too much in detail about his past and try to find out where he came from all of a sudden in the times of war. He just want them to legitimately claim him as some distant relative of theirs. Harry knows that he could not remain into hiding. He has to hide in the plain view to fight the war this time. He needs to be cunning and careful. And that could not be achieved if society is suspicious of his whereabouts until now.

He does not need anymore assistance from these people. Black, Avery and Bones have already agreed to do so. Just the next day (01/06/1979) of their meeting at the shrieking shack, Harry had received an owl from Pandora. It contained a letter asking him to meet in the cave near Hogsmeade village. When Harry reached there, Pandora pointed her wand at Harry and looked on something behind Harry, apparently Regulus had been sitting there in his animagus form until now, he shifted back to his human form and performed a spell to check again if anyone is eavesdropping on them. Then, he nodded to Pandora to proceed. Harry being already through a war performed another spell which Hermione had taught him to check the number of magical beings present in a given location, it includes not only humans but animagus, elves, other magical creatures. Once he was sure that it was only the three of them he casted privacy wards then Black and Pandora added their own spell. After that Pandora asked him about the curses he had received from her when they met at the leaky cauldron. It was a trick question obviously as they had never met at the leaky, he told the correct short version of their first meeting after which Pandora lowered her wand.

She handed him a muggle notebook that had charms similar to the coins they had used in Dumbledore's army. It was locked with magical signature so no one else could access it. Black told him that it was Pandora’s idea to use this for communicating and that Amelia had informed that no one will use their given names. So that if one of this notebook reaches the wrong hands and is cracked open then also no one will figure out who the other three are.

Amelia came up name for her boyfriend? ( or is it ex boyfriend, Harry has no idea. Hermione had said that he was as oblivious as they come). Regulus is Corvus as his animagus is a raven and it’s called Corvus in Latin, also it has something to do with crow constellation. Harry had never been interested in astrology so he does not understand much. Honestly, can’t these Blacks even keep their codename without it being linked to stars and constellation!

Pandora is scarlet, maybe because her parrot animagus is of bright red colour. She named it for herself.

Amelia is Aurora, Black had said, with his cheeks going suspiciously pink. That means Black had came up with the name. It must have some hidden meaning for the young couple.

When they asked what name he would prefer, Harry had smiled and said Snuffles. It reminded him of his godfather who stayed in this same cave during Harry’s fourth year, surviving by eating rats but still being there. No other person in his life had ever shown him that level of care and concern. He want to pay respect to the man who loved him so much. Sirius Black. One of the very reason he is in the past.

When Harry had asked them who else knew about there furry alter characters, Implying their animagus, Pandora told that only those three and now Harry also. Harry also asked what was Bones' animagus form, Black did not appeared to want to answer. When Harry promises that he is only asking for safety concern he replied that she had not completed her transformation as she had started out late. Harry told them that he is not an animagus when they asked him in return. This must be why only Black and Pandora came today. Because today is a normal school day and students are not allowed to leave. These two must have flown in their animagus form.

Harry had, before leaving, once again requested the younger black to not go to cave without proper planning but Harry got the feeling that Black is getting agitated at not doing anything. Harry could not understand for the life of him that how could a person go from being a boy who idolised Voldemort to the extent of worshiping him and sticking out newspaper reports of his achievements on his bedroom walls like a fucking shrine go to being a man who wants Voldemort dead even at the cost of his own life. That also this sudden. Surely, his house elf getting hurt cannot be the only reason. But Harry knows that Black is being friendly, if you can even call it that, it’s only because Harry serves a purpose. But still there is no trust from the three of them towards Harry. And Harry also feels the same way.

He never wanted to involve Bones and Avery into this, Black was already in too deep, but he knew that they agreed to help solely because of their loyalty to and love for Regulus Black. But it still pains him that three different teenagers are once again given the responsibility to search and destroy horcruxes. He knows he is of the same age as them but they had not known the horrors that exist in the way to end the war as he had. He resolves to keep them safe from dangers as much as possible.

The three of them have exams from 17th June to 24th June. After that their graduation is on 27th. They will board Hogwarts express on 29th. In order to avoid suspicion, they decided to wait till their school ends and till then they will have to do two things. First, to come up with some way that Black can shrug of from his death eater responsibilities and focus on participating in the task of ending a dark Lord. And second, to get hands on the horcrux hidden in the castle.

Just after coming from his first meeting with the three Potters on 4th June, Harry opened the notebook to communicate with the other three.

Snuffles :One of the 6 'wands' we discussed about that day ( wand being the code word for horcruxes, it goes without saying as all three of Harry’s partners are very intelligent people) is in the school itself. I was hoping if you three could very very carefully find it then it will be helpful. And then you will have to keep it with you in some very very very strong wards as the 'wands' try to effect you negatively even if occlumency is constantly used. After you all graduate we will never get a chance to get in the school without having a genuine reason to. So it’s best to get our hands on this particular wand, which I would like to remind you all, is the most easy to acquire.

Scarlet :Dear snuffles, we know that this is a dangerous task that we have agreed to be a part of. Thanks for your concerns though. But we do understand that it could be life threatening. Now, where is it in the school???

Snuffles :It’s in the room of hidden things. But I will have to show you because the room is too big and full of odd things that it will probably take months if you don’t know your way there.

Corvus :And how pray tell will you show us. As far as I remember you cannot enter the school without the headmaster knowing about it from the wards. Also, how did you find it if you have never been a student at this school. .

Snuffles :I can’t tell you how I know where it is but I will find a way to either enter the school without Dumbledore knowing or at least I could draw you all a map of the way into the place if nothing else, before your last day at school.

Aurora :It’s probably better to not keep that disgusting 'wand' with us all this time. It is better to acquire it on the last day so as we do not have to keep it near us for much too long time.

Scarlet :What I find repulsive is how can be a ‘wand’ be placed in a school full of children.

Snuffles :That is the kind of opponent we are dealing with. By the way, I went to meet the people I told you I will meet today. Thanks Corvus , those spells you told me were quite useful and that special quill also helped me loads. I can’t even imagine how this meeting might have gone without your help.

Corvus :Your welcome. How did the meeting go??

Snuffles :My actual story overwhelmed them a bit. They did believe me because of those spells and genealogy test but whether they want to get involved and help me out or not, it was not decided. I left, giving them some time to absorb everything and form an informed decision. But it was good to tell someone even if at the end it results into nothing.

Aurora : I hope they help you out. If they believe you then I don’t think it’s even in their blood to deny someone help, let alone one of their own. People with your surname are much too self-righteous in their ideologies to ever be selfish in other people’s time of need.

Snuffles :Hey, I thought Hufflepuffs are supposed to be kind and compassionate. No need to bash all my family and relatives.

Corvus :Well it’s not bashing if it’s the truth, now is it? Anyways, stop stereotyping Hogwarts houses. Hufflepuffs can be straight forward. Or do you want students to undergo an entire personality transplant to fit in a given house.

Snuffles :No need to team up against me Black Corvus. I was just joking. And no, I don’t want to stereotype people based on school houses. I had learned from my mistakes.

Scarlet :None of us are without our prejudices. Just make sure that we do not hurt anyone because of that.

Snuffles :Spoken like a true Ravenclaw.

Aurora :Anyways, Corvus and I have duties to attend to. Do tell snuffles what reply you get from your relatives. Otherwise we will have to find some other way for you to enter in the society.

Harry had gone to bed that night feeling happier and lighter then he had in a long time.

But soon his mood took a down turn as no reply came from the three potters the next day or the day after that which made Harry agitated. They could have written a simple 'no' at least. Harry had not been able to concentrate on anything because of it.

On 7th June, a beautiful black owl came, carrying a letter with potter house crest on it. Harry felt his spirits lift for the first time in two days. He quickly allowed the owl in and took the letter in. The owl didn’t seem to mind Harry’s antics.

To Mr. Harry Potter,

Dear Harry, hope you are doing well. We would like to formally invite you at lunch today, i.e. if you do not have any former engagements. Looking forward to meeting you soon. Also, the owl might be tired. I hope you don’t mind feeding it and allowing it to rest at your place.

Yours,

Dorea Potter.

Harry decided to get some work done, knowing that he had not been doing anything in the last two days because of his constant anxiety at not receiving any reply from his relatives.

By the time it was to get ready for the lunch, Harry had meditated for an hour to sort his thoughts out. He also learned about a technique to plant false scenarios to confuse Legilimens. Harry was quite proud of his progress in Occlumency. From those stilled lessons with Snape, which was nothing but a way to further torture him for the sulky and grudge holding professor, to this. He has come a long way.

When Harry apparated to the Potter townhouse, he was engulfed in a warm hug by Charlus Potter. Then he was passed on to his wife and then his son. After receiving three hugs, his spirits already raised, they sat in the living room. Mrs Potter called a house elf named Micky to serve then refreshments.

When Dorea nodded, Charlus began speaking, “We apologize, as it took us a bit long to contact you. But I hope you do understand the position we were in.” At Harry’s nod of understanding he continued, “It is quite scary to learn that within almost two years, all but one Potter in Britain will perish. Especially when this list includes my son and nephew, who are very young and had not lived their life as we have. And with respect to Lord and lady Potter also, Dorea and I had never assumed that situation was this worse. I think my cousin and cousin in law themselves are shocked with the ailment as we were. It’s all of a sudden. This war, the disease, the heir being part of a vigilante organisation that too leaded by a person that my wife and me have neither much respect for nor any trust on.”

Then Dorra took over the conversation, she was angry, “We went to meet Fleamont and Euphemia, after you left that day. They did not know much about their son's involvement in this war. They did know that he had foolishly decided to become an auror for which they had begrudgingly agreed upon. Effie was quite upset that both her son and the boy under her charge are openly fighting in this war, when both of them are heir to respectable pureblood families. Dumbledore had very cunningly trapped these two young lads of ours into his schemes of greater good. They were really very distressed knowing that not only the two had become part of this organization but also hidden this fact from them.”

Charlus then continued, giving his wife a moment to get her emotions under control, “Fleamont was thinking on handing over his responsibilities to James as he is the heir. I didn’t know that they didn’t know about this order business. You told us about it. Dorea and I were just shocked that flea and effie had allowed such atrocity. They were just as shocked. Effie was so angry that she wanted James and Sirius to be owled immediately but Dorea stopped her, said 'boys will have to be dealt in Black way', whatever that means. But after such carelessness on our heir's part, Fleamont said that James is still not ready to undertake this role. If he cannot understand how important it is to secure the future of our house. He asked me to take over the temporary Lordship, which I accepted.”

“Wait I have a few questions.” Harry interjected before Mr. Potter could continue.

Dorea raised an eyebrow at him, while her lips gave a twitch, at which Harry blushed. Then she gave a nod.

“I thought that house Potter was against all the dark lords and we fight them. So why are you people and Lord and lady Potter angry at James for doing so.”

Kayden was the one who replied this time, “Yes, Potter family has a history of never siding with any dark Lord in the past wars. And my parents and uncle Monty and aunt Effie do not want us to side with this Voldemort fellow. No, that is not the case. But in past, when potters fought against dark lords of their time, we were huge in numbers, so their was no line threat. Our ancestors did fought for what was right but not before ensuring continuation of our family. But the war with Grindelwald was a huge blow to our family. At the end, Dumbledore came and took the recognition of ending the war but he and his family were effected the least by the war personally, when family like ours and longbottoms and fawleys bleed out and So many died that only a few remained and out of those many wanted to leave Britain with their immediate family. After that only my father and uncle Monty remained here. And any Lord of the house has the primary goal to ensure that their family do no end. James participated in it knowing that he himself is the heir. Nor did he see it fit to inform anyone about it. Because he is openly fighting in this war, Voldemort had set a target on all of our backs. He had been very disappointing in following his heir duties. The most Lord Potter would have allowed in current situation was monetary support and political backing. Anything else then that is pure stupidity in the name of bravery.”

“ Wow, I didn’t know that all of this has to be thought when you are from an old family.”

Kayden smiled and replied, “it is nothing new to be honest or different from muggle world. What if you had a family and kids. What will you do? Partake in a war or take your family away to protect them. I am all in for justice for muggleborns but sometimes they make us purebloods sound so archaic, when in reality we want to protect our people. There is nothing to be ashamed in thinking about your family first and the rest later.”

“Right I get it. I mean I also wondered many times why my parents also did not run away from all this. Why stay in Britain at all. Anyways, I also want to ask why did you said that Sirius is a heir, I thought he was disowned and disinherited?”

Doria answered him, “Sirius is still very much the heir because walburga thinks she has to power but she does not. The existing Lord black, my cousin, Arcturus never disowned and disinherited Sirius. Arcturus wants people on both sides of the war in the same way that Fleamont did not want James to side with Dumbledore so openly. Fleamont reasons that by doing so James is openly inviting Voldemort’s ire. Similarly, Arcturus knows that one day the war will be over and thus he has a scion placed on both side of this, so whichever side wins, Black family will win. Thus, in a slightly different way, both Fleamont and Arcturus wants their house to be neutral.”

These people understand politics so well. When in his time, Harry saw Lucius Malfoy pull such strings so that his family remain standing, Harry thought of him as a coward but that was the naïve impressionable harry Potter. Now, Harry understands that when you have people to care about you cannot think everything through moral-rose tinted glasses.

Living life while fighting a war is right choice for people like Dumbledore or Harry. Because both harry and Dumbledore had no family to fear for. No one can use your own loved ones, who are your biggest strength, to threaten you. But the ones who had family, if they choose to stay as far away from war as possible then that is not cowardice. It is just choosing what is important to you.

“Are you also planning to seek out Dumbledore? In your life in future, he seemed to be your go to person.” Charlus Potter asks calmly.

“No, I have decided to stay away from Dumbledore and his order as far as possible. Last time I was just a teenager who didn’t know any better. Besides, now I have got help from someone else. You people also don’t seem much of his fan either?”

“He is no better then any dark lord.” Dorea says with disgust, “Asking young, impressionable people like James and Sirius to advance his own political career and name. The man who was their professor has no problem in leading them to their early graves. He is no better, recruiting soldiers for his propaganda. But he is just a politician making false promises and then not following through them. Was the conditions of muggleborns any better in your time?”, at Harry’s shake of head she continued, “See, he had almost one and a half decade before this dark Lord returned but muggleborns had no better rights, no equality, no better job opportunities. He had not found any way to make them understand the traditions and culture of wizarding world. He did nothing to bridge the gap between old traditional families and these people of new blood, just ruled over until Voldemort came back. Just like Voldemort would have done if he won.”

Harry nods, knowing that all this was absolutely true. That Dumbledore was not a good man as Harry believed him to.

Charlus continued his earlier talk when Harry’s questions were answered. “So, anyways, Dorea and I have given a short version of your story to flea and Effie. They insisted that we all stay at Potter manor. It is protected by strong wards. Whatever happened in your timeline, this time potters will not perish. We will flourish.”

Harry then remembered, “I also want to help Lord and lady Potter. Actually, in my timeline, after the first war was over, a half-blood wizard conducted a study on dragon pox disease. It was found that this disease has the same symptoms as two muggle disease combined. So, if you didn’t mind, I would like to suggest for them to try muggle medications if magical healing is not working.”

“Isn’t it strange that so many witches and wizards are suffering from dragon pox when the country is already in a war. It was as if it was all planned. To take out older generation by this disease so that the younger generation is not only left alone on their own with the responsibility of lordship but also their pain and grief is channelled into the war efforts so as making them further more reckless. It’s as if Voldemort had planned all this.” Kayden comments.

“Or maybe Dumbledore is behind it.” Doria hisses.

“Let’s not focus on who is behind what and make efforts so that our family comes out of the other end of this war with as little losses as possible.” Charlus declares.

“Harry dear, why don’t you bring your belongings here then we will all move to Potter manor. We will also send a letter to James, inviting him and Sirius to Potter manor for dinner. We will ask them to move in Potter manor then and also I will deal with them joining this vigilante group of Dumbledore’s without seeking permission from Lord Potter.” Dorea tells him.

“No mam, I just wanted to meet you so that you could support my background story that I am some distant relative of yours so that people are not suspicious of me. Besides that I don’t think I should stay near. I am involved in a very dangerous mission and your family is already targeted. Please, I won’t stay at Potter manor. I don’t want to risk your lives anymore.”

“Don’t even bother arguing Harry. No one can win with my mother. If you argue, she will make it so that you won’t even be allowed to get out of the manor. Better stop here only, mate.” Kayden whispered to him, although everyone can listen to him.

“My son is right Harry. I know you had always fought alone and I promise you that we will not interfere in whatever you are trying to achieve unless you ask for our help. But you are our family. I want you in front of my eyes. Nothing else. I will not listen to you on this. Bring your belonging here, once we all move to Potter manor we will talk about the matter for which you had seek our help. Okay. ” Doria said with a genuine smile.

Harry knows a lost battle when he sees one.

“Also Harry, the owl which delivered you the letter in the morning. Please consider it as a welcome gift from us.”

Harry is really grateful for this gift. His first and only owl until now, Hedwig, who he misses a lot, had also been a gift. She had helped him a lot in her own ways. She was a constant companion in his life. She will always have a special place in his life.

That time when Hagrid bought Hedwig for him it was when he had just entered the magical world. Now this new owl symbolises his welcome in this new era and his new family.

He takes his leave to pack things from his muggle guest room.
