> Well At Least I'm Still A Guy Sort Of > by Gravestone > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Chapter One____ From One World to Another > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Harry Potter, The Boy Who Lived, The Man Who Conquered stood on the dais behind him was the Vail of Death. Looking around him Harry couldn't believe what he was seeing. One year and nothing, absolutely nothing had changed the Ministery was as corrupt as ever if not more so. Thinking back to what led up to this moment HArry could only laugh internally at how once again Fate had to play with his life. Flash Back It was just a month after the war when Harry received a letter from Gringotts, cringing at it he knew he would have to deal with what happened sometime. So steeling his nerves he made his way there. As he stood at the large doors of the bank he was ushered inside by two well-armed and angry goblins. It did not take long for him to find himself forcibly sitting in front of a very large and opulent desk. Behind sed, desk was a large and angry look goblin who proceeded to inform Harry of what and why he was here. "It seems Mister Potter that your actions in this bank have given Gringotts a few options to deal with you." He said as he looked over some papers. "First, we would like to apologize for the actions of the oathbreaker Griphook, Second we must inform up that we will be taking the entirety of your trust vault as composition for the loss of Ukrainian Ironbelly and the damages it incurred, Third we demand you remove all your assets from this bank and never darken our halls again handing Harry a binding contract upon it making him sign it." Now Harry knew a good thing when he heard it, but he also remembered what he had learned during the year-long Horcrux hunt. So after reading and signing the contract Harry requested an Inherisy test. This surprised the goblin and made him very angry for not thinking to ask the human of any requests before signing. But the deed was done and there was no way of backing out of this without becoming an oathbreaker himself. With the test completed Harry was surprised at what was there. The goblin not so much if the yelling and cursing in Goddlygook was any indication. It seems not only was Harry Lord potter but also Lord Black, Lord Peverell, Lord Griffindor, and Lord Slytherin the last one through the right of conquest. Biding the still cursing goblin goodbye Harry made his way to the carts only stopping long enough to call for Winky. Unknown to anyone especially Hermione, Harry bonded with Dobby and Winky in his fifth year. When Winky appeared Harry told her to gather ten multicompartment expanded trunks and meet him at Potter vault first. Let us just say it took Harry and Winky several hours to clear out all of his vaults. He had to stop for a while when he found two envelopes in the Black family vault addressed to him. One from Andromada and the other surprisingly from Bellatrix Lestrange he was about to throw that one away but his curiosity got the better of him, why would that WITCH write to him after everything she had done. He first read the letter from Andromada and his heart began to break. She said in the letter that the loss of Ted and Nymphadora both in the same year had taken its toll on her health. She explained that the worrying and stress had caused her to just give up on life and seeing as he was Teddy's godfather through the Godfather Oath he is now Teddy's legal guardian. Reading the letter twice Harry could only be mad, yes she lost her husband and daughter but what about Teddy her grandson, and what about him, he was only seventeen years old for merlin's sake. Putting the letter aside Harry began to read the other one. This letter and the information it held, cause Harry's brain to shut down momentarily. He stood there shaking his head denying every word written on the parchment in his hand but seeing as Bellatrix signed it in her own blood it was true, all of it. It would seem that in Voldemort's great plan during the resurrection ritual he made a fatal error. The homunculus body only possessed venom in it, but when he took Harry's blood he magically adopted himself into the Potter line. More precisely he made himself Harry and when he had made Bellatrix pregnant with his heir it was, in fact, Harry's child. He turned the letter over to see it was written on the back of an inherency test proving it was all true. There in bold letters were the words, Delphi Potter Mother Bellatrix Lestrange nee Black Father Hadrian James Potter Black Peverell Griffindor Slytherin. The letter also stated that Bellatrix knew of all of this when Voldemort ordered her to carry his heir. She begged that Harry could find it in his heart not to hate the child for how it came into the world and asked to take her and show her the love she truly deserved. So after the emotional rollercoaster, he completed his task and emptied every one of his vaults hearing from the cart goblin that he had just removed over two-thirds of the gold in Gringotts. The first thing Harry did when he returned home to Grimmauld Place was to formulate a plan chuckling to himself about that. Knowing most of his plans seem to be made on the fly but this time he sat down and wrote out what he was going to do. First, go and see Andy and Teddy see how bad things are. Second, go and retrieve his daughter. Third, start to live his life really live. The next day he went to see Andromada and found out the truth it seems she had contracted a new strain of Dragonpox and with the stress of Ted and Dora's deaths, her body became too weak and couldn't fight it. So gathering up all of Teddy's things he said goodbye and headed to where his daughter was. Finding out she was at the Diggory's and they were under the Imperious curse to take care of her made Harry's anger skyrocket. Releasing them from the curse was easy after he found the Deatheater who cast it in the house one well-placed Reducto and the Diggory's were free. Harry had to explain what happened and why he was there but in the end, they relented and gave a magical oath not to tell anyone. Returning home harry took stock in everything that has happened in the last two days. He had found out he had more than the titles of Potter and Black, found out he had more money than he knew what to do with, and most importantly he was now the father of a nine-month-old son and a twelve-month-old daughter. He decided to deal with everything tomorrow so he took his two children up to bed laying them down he climbed into bed with them pulling both of them close he let sleep take him. It was two days later that he got word that Andormada died in her sleep hold pictures of her husband, daughter, and Teddy. He had Winky watch the children, no they were his children while he went to the funeral and the Will reading luckily it was held at Ted's former Lawfirm. Harry found out everything from the Tonks went to Teddy and surprisingly Delphi it seems Bella not only wrote a letter to Harry but to her sister as well. For ten months Harry truly lived he raised his children with love something he never experienced growing up. He found out Delphi's birthday was October Thirty-first but instead of dreading that day he was going to celebrate it because it was the day his daughter came into the world. But every now and then Harry would get that feeling something bad was going to happen. And that day came a month and a half later first it was a letter he received from his friend Luna. In it, she told him not to panic and keep his children and carry everything he owned with him at all times, and to enjoy his new home and say hi to Pinkie. The second was in the Daily Profit which stated that the Wizengamot had reinstated Fudge as Minister who had pardoned all the captured Deatheaters for being under the Imperious Curse, but most shocking was he, Harry Potter was charged and found guilty of the murders of many upstanding purebloods. Reading more Harry found out that due to him defeated the most powerful dark lord in history was that he was a more powerful dark lord. So for the rest of his free time no pun intended, Harry had Winky and two more elves he bonded to began gathering everything from all of Harry's properties every piece of furniture, book, scroll, tombs in all his family library's hell he even took everything of value from the room of lost things at Hogwarts. In total Harry had forty-eight expanded multicompartment trucks to save carrying all of them he shrunk them down and placed them in four standard traveling trunks. Which he had placed on his belt with a very powerful notice-me-not. And he waited not letting it bother him as he still played with his children as if nothing was wrong. It was a little after noon when the DMLE showed up at his door demanding that he surrender. Harry just commonly places Teddy in a sling carrier and picked up Delphi placing her on his hip. Then he calmly walked outside where he was greeted by no less the twenty wands. Cocking an eyebrow looking at every witch and wizard there, before each one of them lowered their wands. Walking down the steps Harry did feel any fear or anxiety in fact he felt happy as if everything was going to be ok. One of the witches try to take his kids away but a look from Harry and she backed off. "Mister Potter we are here to place you under arrest by order of the Wizengamot and the Ministery for being the new dark lord and the murders of multiple witches and wizards." A nameless wizard said. Nodding his head Harry complied and came quietly. Back to present Harry shook himself out of his thoughts to look around the chamber seeing many faces he did not recognize but two that he did and these two Harry hated with all his heart and soul, Cornelius Fudge and Deloris Umbridge. Fudge stood there with a smirk while Umbitch just smiles that disgusting smile the one that could turn dragon dung bad. Clearing his throat Fudge began to speak. " Harry Potter yo," Was all he got before Harry yelled over him. "If you're going to say it Fudgie then say it right," Snarling Fudge began again. "Very well Lord Hadrian James Potter Black Peverlle Griffindor Slytherin you have been found guilty of being a dark lord and for the murders of upstanding pureblood witches and wizards so by the order of the Wizengamot and the Ministry of Magic you shall be thrown through the Vail of Death." Harry just rolled his eyes at everything the fat blowhard just said. Looking around the room before turning back to look at the two wastes of life he cleared his throat. If I may speak I have only one thing to say," He said looking at Fudge who nodded. Taking a calming breath Harry spoke. "Ut magister LETALITER Sanctio, et ego invocabo Magia est iudicare eos qui sunt in conspectu meo: Si vere dignum itaque dico vobis donum fiat semper." Before he turned around and walked through the vail with everything he owned and everyone he loved. The translation of what HArry said was As Master of the Deathly Hallows, I Call Upon Magic to judge those who stand before me if they are truly worthy of your gift So I Say Mote It Be. You see no one knew that when Harry held the Ressurection Stone in his hand in the forest he had become the master of the hollows. He was not the Master of Death that is impossible for none can master Death the hollows only gave Harry a very powerful boost in his magic. To call it large would be an understatement for if you took the prophecy's words to heart Voldemort marked Harry as his equal and not with just the scar but with his magic as well and this was done when Harry was fifteen months old. So if you take that power and double it every fifteen months until now you will see that Harry could no longer be considered human in fact he would be a being of pure magic. The moment Harry passed the vail something happened first there was the sound of a great trumpet, then there was a shockwave that came from the vail. This had two effects first what Harry had said came to be, Magic indeed judge all those worthy of the gift. Sad to say Fudge, Umbridge, and many others were found wanting. In fact, the shockwave did not stop in the chamber but traveled out, out across the entire world judging those to be unworthy and stripping them of all magic. But all was not closed for the magic taken was given to those who were yet to be born and with this action one generation later the magical world never needed to hide again. With Harry, after he stepped through the vail strange things happened to him first he felt his body begin to change it was not unpleasant there was no pain so he was not worried about his kids as it seemed both of them were asleep. As the changes took place he could feel his center of gravity shift and his forehead and back began to itch. Once that was over he noticed his eyesight became clearer. Then with a brilliant flash of light, Harry stepped out of the vail onto the floor of a room, a room made of crystal. Turning around he noticed that the vail was gone and in its place was a large full body mirror. Stepping closer he saw his reflection but what he saw was not him. The figure was well, it was a horse a purple fur colored horse with a horn and wings. But what was striking was it had tattoos on its hips or are they flanks. Any way Harry Potter The Boy Who Lived, The Man Who Concurred was now a purple horse with a horn and wings. Looking between his legs Harry let out a sigh of relief at least he was still a guy sort of, ignoring his problems, for now, he needed to see if his kids were alright looking at Delphi first as she was now nestled on his back between his wings. He saw that she had changed as well now instead of an almost two-year-old little girl was a filly, yeah filly her color was smokey gray with silvery hair for her mane and tail but what Harry noticed was her wings they weren't feathered but looked like Thestral wings. Harry then turned his attention to Teddy who was still in the sling he watched as his sleeping son was changing his appearance he would look like a normal foal then he would have a horn then wings but everything calmed down and he ended up with both a horn and wings. His color was a darker gray with an almost black mane and tail he also had little white socks on all four hooves. Harry's observation of his kids had to wait as he began to hear voices and they were getting closer. So turning back to the sound of the voices spying a door Harry stood tall and waited to greet the people that were coming only to be surprised when he spotted another horse that looked just like him but had a distinctly feminine voice. Standing there in complete shock stood Twilight Sparkle the Princess of Friendship as she stared at a stallion, a stallion that looked just like her but well a stallion. And she could do only one thing she promptly fainted Harry looked at the now unconscious mare and winced. "Bloody Hell, great first impression Potter," He said looking down at mare wincing again. This is what Delphi and Teddy look like. > Chapter Two ____Meet and Greet and a Spot of Tea > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Twilight Sparkle the Princess of Friendship was many things. Kind-hearted, understanding, patient with others, a seeker of knowledge, a sufferer of OCD, but what she was not was a pony who could handle what she just saw in front of her. So in a typical Twilight maneuver, her brain shut down and prepared for a reboot. How, how was it possible for a pony that looked like her but not, seeing as it was a stallion could be standing there in front of the portal mirror staring at her with a look of confusion on his face and not say anything. She could not reach a rational answer to this so he just went with her backup plan faint wakeup later and hope it was all just a bad dream. In three two one THUD. Harry looked down at the mare and winced. "Bloody Hell, great first impression Potter." Instead of just panicking about this Harry decided to see how much his magic had changed. Oh, he knew he still had magic he could feel it like it was just underneath his skin in fact it felt like it was all over him. From the bottom of his hooves to the tip of his horn, his horn, of course, magical's always needed some sort of focus even wandless magic was focused through the hands, fingers, or even the eyes. So why not his horn as he looked around the room Harry spotted what looked like a small bowl. Staring at the bowl he concentrated, Intent that was what he had learned about magic the truth about magic. There was on silly wand-waving, no incantations, just Imagination and Intent with those two things a wizard could do anything, well almost anything. It seems that the unforgivable's still needed to be spoken. After a short test of levitation and then some transfiguration plus a small bit of conjuring, Harry believed he had some control over his magic. Looking over to the side he conjured a small crib then levitated Delphi and Teddy into it. After that, he returned to the problem at hand or is it hoof that being the mare sprawled out on the floor unconscious. Looking down at her Harry had to admit that she did look very cute, wait where did that idea come from oh yay he was now a horse also. Shaking his head looking down again and thinking Enervate a small beam of light traveled from his horn enveloping the mare in a soft purple glow. Seconds later she began to stir looking down at her Harry could only give the patented Potter grin. "You know if Sirius was here he would say you fell for my charm and devilish good looks." Twilights POV What's this I'm feeling, oh it's magic this feels nice like I'm being held by somepony that loves me. Opening her eyes Twilight began to look around until she saw a set of hooves in front of her. Looking up she sees the pony from earlier with a rather sexy grin, wait, why did she just think that. Her train of thought was halted when she heard the stallion speak. "You know if Sirius was here he would say you fell for my charm and devilish good looks." Hearing this Twilight blushed before she began to stand back up, the stallion offering a hoof which she accepted. Getting back onto her hooves Twilight was finally able to get a better look at this stranger. He appeared identical in every way sans the stallion part, same fur, mane, and tail colors the same cutie mark but his eyes were different. They weren't the dark violet, like hers but a deep green almost emerald color, eyes that a mare could get lost in forever. Shaking her head wondering where in Tartarus did that come from she stepped back and was about to speak when the stallion beat her to it. Helping the mare back to her hooves and watching how she was studying him made Harry a little nervous especially how she was looking at his eyes. So to end this uncomfortable situation he decided to jump in the deep end as the saying goes. "Excuse me I am terribly sorry for intruding into your home," He said looking around. "But it would seem I am in need of assistance for myself and my children," Gesturing to the crib that held two foals. Harry noticed the slight expression of sadness on the mare's face hearing about children. "I would appreciate it if we could move to somewhere a little more comfortable so we may talk and if these two raggamuffins do wake I will be able to feed them and hopefully answer any questions you have," Harry said with a pleading look. Nodding Twilight turned to led him out of the room but stopped and watched as he levitated what looked like bat pony foal onto his back as well as sling carrier with a smaller foal around his neck. What startled her was when he looked at the crib and in a flash of magic, it disappeared that was something she was definitely going to talk to him about. As they made their way out of the room and down the hall Harry couldn't believe what he was seeing this place was made entirely of crystal the floors, walls everything. Walking along admiring what he saw Harry every once in a while would admire the view in front of him only to smile. Hey just because he's a purple horse doesn't mean he's dead. It took some time to reach their destination and looking around Harry could only think that Hermione would have loved this room. There were shelves of books, books upon books covering every wall. They moved over to two sofas that were in front of a fireplace. Sitting down Twilight watched again as the stallion levitated both foals to the sofa before sitting himself. Twilight looked at the stallion with a smile. "Before we began would it be possible to have the Princesses and my friends here to listen to your story?" SHe asked as he looked from the foals to her and nodded. "Yes, I think that would be for the best wait, Princesses you have a monarchy?" He asked surprised about there being royalty. "Why yes, Princess Celestia and Princess Luna have ruled Equestria for over a thousand years, and they raise the sun and moon," Twilight said as if it was common knowledge to him. Harry's jaw dropped at what he just heard, over a thousand years of rule and they raise the sun and moon. Harry was of two minds at this moment first if they are over a thousand years then they are powerful, the second thing if they move the sun and moon then they are scary powerful. As they were sitting Harry noticed that his kids began to stir not wanting them to be frightened he spoke in a low calm voice. It was Teddy that opened his eyes first looking around until his bright blue eyes landed on Harry. "Dada," Teddy said looking at the unfamiliar face before him, then seeing the loving green eyes of his daddy Teddy smiled. "Dada!" The foal squealed. "Hey there Teddybear, how's my little guy?" Harry asked as he nuzzled the foal making him squeal some more. Next, it was Delphi to wake from her little brothers laughing looking over to see a funny colored pony nuzzling a baby one both having her father's and baby brother's voices. "Papa dat ooh," She asked getting a nod from the pony with her daddy's voice. " Papa wook fummy why Papa purble pomy?" She said a little louder than before. "Well, sweetheart daddy's not the only one that's a pony," Harry said pointing a hoof at Teddy and then her making Delphi look at herself. Well as much as she could see that was until a small mirror appeared in front of her. Looking at her reflection Delphi's eye grew wide then she smiled and started giggling. "Papa me a pomy, me a pomy," she said as she bounced around until the unmistaken sound of two tiny tummies growling. " Papa me hungy," Delphi said rubbing her tummy. "Alright how about I ask if," Harry started to say before he looked over at the mare. "Um ah Miss I'm going to do something but please don't freak out I explain everything I promise," Harry said with pleading eyes. Twilight looked in his eyes, those eyes, and knew he was telling the truth. Alright but could you call me Twilight at least instead of Miss," She said smiling. "Thank you Twilight and you can call me Harry," Hary said smiling back at her before turning to look at the open floor. "Winky," Harry said then a second later a soft pop was heard. There, standing in what was an empty space stood a small creature. It had long pointed ears big eyes and four small claws that Twilight recognized as fingers. The top of its head was covered in dark brown hair and it wore a very simple dress. The little creature looked around the room almost drooling. It then turned to face Harry and let out an adorable eep. "Master Harry, is that be you?" Winky said looking at the animal before her. "Yes, Winky, and I'll explain everything in a bit but first, can you get Delphi and Teddy something to eat?" He said pointing to the two foals on the sofa. "Yes, yes Winky be's bringing little Master and Mistress some foodies," She said before popping out and back a minute later with a bottle of milk and a small lidded cup with some dried fruit. "What exactly is she?" Twilight asked pointing at Winky. Before Harry could respawn Winky turned to look at Twilight. "Winky be's house-elf, house-elf do many thing clean cook take care of babies do all things for house," She said looking at the confused mare. "House-elf be bonded to Master or Mistress or place with big magic likes here," She said waving her arms around the room. Winky turned back to Harry. "Master Harry sir Winky Tippy and Peak be's bored no things do wonder if we's be cleaning this place," She said looking around. "You'll have to ask Twilight as it is her home," Harry said looking at Twilight "Um, ah, sure just don't work too hard," Twilight said not knowing what else to say. She then watched as two more elves popped into the room one looking like Winky but with red hair and the other a male. The three, spoke to each other in a fast tone before they popped out again. As this was happening voices could be heard coming from the hall then eight more ponies entered the room well seven ponies and what Harry could tell was a small dragon. "Oh, my Twilight you were right to contact us," The tall white pony said in a voice that held a motherly tone. "You are correct sister, it seems that your former student still has the uncanny ability to find trouble," Said the dark blue pony. Twilight looked sheepish at the remark but quickly composed herself. "Harry, allow me to introduce Princess Celestia and Princess Luna rulers of Equestria," Twilight said as Harry got off the sofa and kneeled before the two royals. "Your Majesties allow me to introduce myself my name is Lord Hadrien James Potter Black Peverell Griffindor Slytherin," Still kneeling. "Whoo doggy that there is one long name y'all got there," An orange color mare with a hat said. "I believe miss Applejack that this young alicorn has introduced himself using old Equest," Princess Luna said having the others look confused. "He simply stated that he is the lord of five houses," "Correct your Highness, though they are referred to as most ancient and noble due to them being able to trace the line back close to two thousand or more years," Harry stated being proud that he remembered this during the hunt. "That is quite amazing to hold titles of such a lineage though I must confess I have never heard of such names before," Celestia said looking at the alicorn stallion questionably. "That, your Highness is a long and strange story," Harry said as he returned to the sofa with children. And I found stories are best told over a nice cup of tea," after saying that a tea set appeared on the table in front o Harry. The reaction by them was nothing to that of the little dragon. "Don't be alarmed everypony it's just Harry's servents," Twilight called out to calm them. When they calmed themselves everyone took a seat Harry looked around at all of them as they introduced themselves. The first was the orange mare with the hat her name was AApplejack, later Harry learned the hat was called a stetson. Next was a white mare with dark purple hair her name was Rarity she was a fashion designer Harry thought she would like to look at all the clothes he had in one of his trunks. Then a butter yellow mare name Fluttershy introduced herself as the town vet. Actually, she said she took care of all the animals around town and the forest nearby. The one after that Rainbow Dash, reminded me so much of Ron how she would boost how she was this and that, It made Harry smile. Then there was the last pony Pinkie Pie how to describe her well, Pink lots and lots of Pink and an exuberant attitude. Harry did remember what Luna had written in the letter so doing as instructed Harry relade the message from one Luna Lovegood to one Pinkie Pie HI. Pinkie was so happy that she jumped over and hugged Harry telling him thank you and she misses her friend. Which caused the others to look confused. But the one Harry was most interested to meet was the young drake, Spike after all he was a dragon. After the introductions from the mares, Harry introduced his two children who were quietly still eating. Unfortunately, when he did there was a collective Sqee from most of them when they saw the two, and somehow Harry ended up on the sofa next to Twilight. Darling, they are just so precious this little filly will be breaking young colts hearts when she gets older and this little angel is Oh my," Rarity was saying until she and the others watched as Teddy changed his appearance to match Rainbow Dash. "I'm sorry I should have warned you Teddy has an ability to change his appearance it is called Metamorphamagus he got it from his mother she was one also," Harry said as if it yer nothing. "Yes I see, but I think it would be best if you told us your story," Celestia commented as she watches Teddy changed to look like the others. Thinking of how to go about it he decided to start with the war, his parents on how they first met to their time in school. The Marauders', Snape the pranks pulled to their fifth year and that word that spoken. After that, he told them of the prophecy that was made a year before he was born to his parents going into hiding. That Holloween night then growing up with the Dursley,s though he did sugarcoat over that. To receiving his Hogwarts letter meeting the half-giant Hagrid his first trip to Diagon Alley. The goblins, shopping, receiving Hedwig and getting his first wand meeting that ponce Malfoy. Then he spoke about the Hogwarts Express meeting Ron and a bushy-haired girl who Harry said reminded him of Twilight. His sorting seeing the wonders of magic. He continued on about his first flying lesson joining the Quidditch team, his first game. Continuing about how Ron hurt Hermione's feelings (the bushy-haired girl) to the two of us saving her from a troll. Where the three became best friends Going on to tell about Hagrid and the dragon egg the detention in the forbidden forest where he met Voldemort. Finding out about Flamel and the Philosophers stone to the traps and Harry having to kill for the first time. Next, he told of his second year the students being petrified learning of the Chamber of Secrets to saving Ginny fighting a thousand-year-old Basilisk. Harry did leave out the parts of Lockfart the car and Dobby. He then went on to his third year Sirius the traitor Wormtail meeting Remus the map and the Dementors, but what made the most impression was when Harry summoned his Patronus, but Prongs wasn't the only one to appear. There was the doe a horse, pegasus, unicorn, griffin, thestral, hippogriff, basilisk, dragon, phoenix a wolf, and a grim. There many oohs's and ahh's within the room but Harry was totally confused about it maybe he'll ask the Princesses about it later. After that Harry told them about his fourth year of the tournament Fleur, Victor, Cedric, and the Yule Ball Voldemort's resurrection, and the beginning of the second wizarding war. The next thing he told was his fifth year forming the DA to Umbridge the failed rescue of Sirius in the DOM to learning about the prophecy from Dumbledore. Hearing this the sisters looked at each other for a moment before Harry continued. He told them of his sixth year how Malfoy helped Deatheater get into the school the murder of Dumbledore by Snape. He then told them about the Horcrux hunt breaking into and out of Gringotts on the back of a dragon to the final battle. Then he covered last year finding out about Delphi gaining guardianship of Teddy and the betrayal of the wizarding world. All the way to when he walked through the vail and ended up here. To say the others were speechless would be an understatement they all had tear-filled eyes, Rainbow Dash and Applejack looked like they wanted to murder those wizards. It was Celestia who broke the silences. "Harry from what we have heard your life has been nothing but trial after trial of hardship, and I am afraid to say but this Headmaster of your truly sounds like a," She began to say but Harry cut her off. "A manipulating old goat who used people like chess pieces on a board all for The Greater Good," He said looking at her. "Then you'd be absolutely right," Rainbow Dash exhales loudly. "Man I wish I could have seen all that Fighting a basilisk out flying a dragon that would so cool," She said shaking her head. Harry after hearing that shot up and moved to a open space in the room. "Actually You can see it ok hold on a tik," He said looking at the five trucks he had connected to his belt. "Ah, this one," He said pulling it off before placing it on the floor where he touches it causing the small trunk to grow to full size. He then proceeded to open it and climb inside completely disappearing from view. The girls heard as if he was walking downstairs opening and closing doors hearing "nope not here, maybe here, nope, ah, here we go, oh, maybe Twilight and the Princesses would like to read some books about the wizarding world. Now let's see Hogwarts a History self-updating edition, The History of the Magical World, Dark Lords through the Ages, and ah bugger it I just give them all my school books now for the others, let's see. "The girls heard as the sound of things being moved around and more doors being opened then closed. A few minutes later they saw a large number of things being floated out of the trunk in a violet aura followed by Harry. Placing the items on the floor Harry turned to look at all of them. Now as Rainbow Dash said about seeing my life we have this," He said levitating a large stone bowl. This is called a Pensieve it's used to view one's memories. I'll show you how to remove a copy of your memories in a bit." Setting it down he then levitated a large stack of books at this Twilight began to drool at the sight. "These are just some of the books I have in my possession,' He said levitating them over to the Princesses and Twilight. Turning back to the stake of things levitating two small trunks he placed them in front of Rainbow Dash and Pinkie. "This trunk has a complete Quidditch set I thought you like to be the one to start it here." He next turned to Pinkie. "In here or some of the best jokes, pranks, and games from my old world." Looking down at it the Words Weasley Wizarding Wheezes was on the top. Turning to Rarity he floated over five very large spools. "These are spools of Acromantula silk as tuff as steel and as soft as a newborn foals bum." Applejack was next Harry gave her one of his two dirigible plum trees telling her that the seeds can only be planted during a blue and the tree will grow faster when sang to. Applejack looked at him only to see he was truly honest about it. For Spike, he gave him a bottomless bag full of gems. And to Fluttershy, he gave her two things first a small bottle of Phoenix tears and the book Fantastic Beast and where to find them. After handing out the gifts and receiving hugs and in Twilights case a few kisses and thank yous, they all settled back down to continue their talk. It was at this time the ponies were introduced to Winky and the others. Spike at hearing what house-elves do, had a flashback of his thing with Owlicious but then he remembered just how big this castle really was. So he made a deal with Winky that he would help Twilight as her number one assistant and share in the cooking. With all that drama out of the way, the Princesses decided now was a good time to ask some questions. "As you have said there were those in your old world that could use magic and those who could not can you explain this," Celestia asked. "Yes, you see there are some born to magical families that are unable to use magic these are called squibs, then you have those who have no magic at all they are called Nomag, Mundane, or Muggle," Harry said with a little disdain for the last one. "Now for an example if two unicorns that could d trace the lineage back several generations had an earthpony foal that foal would be a squib because it could not use unicorn magic. As for Nomags, they would be like, like the normal everyday animals you have here." Harry said looking at Celestia. The conversation carried on until Celestia and Luna apologized that they must depart to lower the sun and raise the moon. Harry was curious about this and followed them outside to watch and to say he was surprised would be an understatement. Walking back inside Harry had only one thought about what he had just witnessed never get those two mad at him. Returning to the library Harry looked around and scratch the back of his head. "Um ladies, I just realized we have a problem I have no place for myself and the children to stay," Harry said looking a little sheepish. "Oh that's no problem you can stay here with me," Twilight said before backpedaling. "I mean me and Spike," She said giggling. All the mares started to say their goodbyes and left, but Rarity stayed behind for a little longer. Walking over to Twilight she looked at the mare and spoke. (Rarity will be purple Twilight will be blue) "So a strapping young alicorn stallion just showed up out of nowhere." "Mmmh" "He is really great with children to seeing how much he loves his two," "Mmmh" "Let us not forget he's single, rich, and magically powerful," "Mmmh" "And you just want him to take you to bed and buck you crosseyed," "Mmm, Wait what Rarity how could you say something like that!!!" Twilight almost screamed while having a full-body blush. "I mean he is like you said handsome, go with foals, single, rich, and powerful but I would never do that what kind of a mare do you think I am?" she said looking at her friend. "Oh, one that wouldn't go that far until the third date, toodles Darling," Rarity said as she made a hasty retreat. Twilight could only stand there with a shocked expression on her face at what Rarity had just said. She was brought back to reality hearing Harry's voice. "Uh, what," I Said thank you so much for letting us stay here and I promise to help and tell you everything I know about my old world," He said looking at the most beautiful pair of violet eyes he has ever seen. They both gave a small chuckle then Twilight had Harry follow her to his and the children's new bedroom. Upon entering Harry looked around seeing that everything was safe he levitated both of the foals onto the bed Delphi looked up at her father. "Papa dis ome now?" "Yes, it looks like it, are you happy?" "Yep, we pomy now I wike bein' pomy, Papa tew tory," So Harry began to tell her the story about a young pony princess who lived in a magic castle that had many friends and went on many great adventures. Just outside the door, Twilight was listening to the story smiling to herself at what she was hearing until she heard the one thing that made her eyes water. "Lub you Papa and lub Mama Twiwite," > Chapter Three___A Party, oh Bugger > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Harry had woken up early the next morning thanks to the years with the Dursleys and sighed. "Well, I guess I should get up." Looking over himself seeing that during the night both Delphi and Teddy had decided to use him as a combination pillow\bed. "Now how the hell am I suppose to get up without waking them?" Then it hit him, magic duh he carefully levitated them off and over to his side. With that hurdle out of the way he carefully crawled out of the bed and promptly fell onto the floor. It seems that our intrepid hero had momentarily forgotten he was now a quadruped. Picking himself up and taking a quick look to see if he had awakened his bedmates thankfully they showed no signs. Walking toward the door and just about to open it when. "Dada" From the day Harry became Teddy's father not once has he been able to just let his children sleep late. First Teddy would wake then Delphi and right on queue his daughter opened her eyes and looked around. "Papa morming" Walking back to the bed Harry bent down and kissed his little girl's forehead before reaching over to kiss his son only to stop when the smell hit his nostrils. The smell was so overpowering that his eyes went crossed. "Bloody Hell, Teddybear what did you eat last night brimstone?" This comment caused two things to happen first, all three of them laughed, and the second was to have Winky pop in and quickly take care of her young master Teddy. With that out of the way, the four of them Winky included made their way to the kitchen to have breakfast. Making their way through the many twist and turns of hallways that Harry could swear that this place put Hogwarts to shame. They passed by the opened doors to the library to which he had to backtrack to make sure what he had seen was true. Walking into the room he had to bite his tongue to keep from laughing. There at the desk surrounded by books and one used as a pillow was the sleeping form of Twilight. Walking closer Harry couldn't help but have a sad smile adorn his face. Here was a mare, that in every way was his best friend Hermione. Thinking about it, the ponies he met all resemble people he knew in one way or another. Rainbow Dash was just like both Ron and Genny brash and load, Rarity was just like Lavender and Padma always on about fashion, Applejack brave, hard-working, and good with plants just like Neville, Pinkie was Fred and George through and through, and dear sweet Fluttershy that mare was Harry's little moon always caring about others before herself. Then there was Princess Celestia and Luna if they didn't scream Professor McGonagall then something was just wrong. Shacking those thoughts away Harry walked over to the sleeping mare. "Twilight wakeup Spike is eating the castle." "Spike stop, you know you're not supposed to eat the," "Twilight wakeup, the books have all grown legs and are making a break for it," "What no get back here!" Came from the mare in question as she fell off her chair trying to chase after said books making Harry fall to the floor laughing at her. Looking around and then to the laughing stallion on the floor. "That wasn't funny Harry," "On the contrary, it was hilarious," The still laughing stallion said as he got up off the floor. "You know it's not healthy to do that?" Pointing to the desk. "I know and I don't do it all the time, it's just when I find a good book I tend to forget about everything else," "Well I hope it doesn't become a habit again or I will have to place some wards on the library so you can only be in here for two hours a day," Hearing this Twilight looked like I just kicked her puppy then did a complete 180. "No, you can't, wait you can do that really?" "Come on let's go I'm sure Winky has made breakfast for us and she doesn't like it when the food gets cold," Not tell her about heating charms. "So these wards they can actually do what you said?" Harry just rolled his eyes. "I'm more of a practical sort theoretical is a little beyond me how about I just get you the books and help you when you're ready to try," "Yes, yes, thank you, thank you, Oh, I almost forgot today, Pinkie is going to throw you a welcome party so be prepared." Stopping in his tracks Harry could only say one thing. "Oh, Bugger," "What, what's wrong it can't be the party can it?" Twilight was now a little concerned. " Well you see I'm not much for parties but for your friends, ok just please don't ask me to dance," "I try but there are some mare's who don't take no for an answer," They finally made it to the kitchen only to see Spike sitting at the table looking a little miffed. "Spike, what's wrong?" "I wasn't allowed to cook breakfast," He said crossing his arms. "Yous just mad that yous lost coin toss," Came the voice of Winky at the table feeding Teddy. "I wouldn't have lost if you would have used a real coin," He said tossing what looked like a galleon across the table. Shaking his head Harry looked at Spike. "Sorry there Spike but it wasn't the coin Tippy or Peak must have used their magic," "Noway you mean they cheated, but why?" "House-elves love to work it's the only thing they know and they'll do just about anything to do it," During this conversation, a thought came to Harry. "Um, Winky why is there a locked door in the Apartment truck?" "Winky nos not what you means Master Harry Sir," Shifting her eyes away from his. "Winky I promise I won't get mad, now why is the door locked?" With a deep sigh, Winky looked her master in the eyes. "When wes hear that wes be leaving Winky and Tippy hears about other elvies that lose masters and want to come with so we puts them to sleep so Master Harry Sir cans bond them later." "Exactly how many elves are we talking about?" "One hundred," "Come again," "One hundred," There was a repeating sound of a thud heard in the room coming from Harry as his head struck the table until Twilight used her magic to stop him. "So you are telling me we have a hundred elves in a magical sleep inside of one of my trunks correct?" Receiving a nod he then turned to Twilight and smiled. "Say Twilight you think, oh I don't know maybe the Princesses or your parents might like to have a house-elf or a hundred working for them?" "Now Harry what would my parents do with a hundred house-elves it's only the two of them living in that house after all," Hearing this made Spike fall to the floor laughing he shot flames out his nose. "Ok, ok I get it this is about the way I woke up this morning?" Receiving a nod Harry continued. "I am very sorry for what I did and it will never happen again, but in all honesty, I'm in a pickle here it takes a large amount of magic to keep a hundred House-Elves alive and healthy let alone happy," Getting down from the table Harry got into a begging position. "So please, please help me oh great, wise, and powerful Alicorn Princess of Magic I will do anything," "Really anything?" Came a seductive tone. "Anything within reason and is PG-13 but yes," "Very well but it will be in two parts, first you will teach me all you know about your old world's magic," Harry nodded knowing that was a given. "And the second at the party you and I will have one dance no matter what the song is," Releasing a deep sigh Harry agreed to Twilights demands. With a triumphant smile from Twilight, they went back to finishing their breakfast only to have a pink blur move around the room depositing scrolls in front of each of them, unrolling it Harry began to read. You are cordially invited to the Welcome to Ponyvliie and Equestria Party for one Edward (Teddy) Lupin Potter, one Delphi Cassiopeia Potter, one Hadrien James Potter Black Peverell Griffindor Slytherin, one Winky, Tippy, and Peak Potter at Two PM held at the Castle of Friendship. Signed: Ponyvilles Resident Party Planner Pinkie Pie PS Harry, I think the Cakes would love to bond with a House-Elf so they could have some help with the twins and Sugarcube Corner After reading the note Harry notices he was the only one with a postscript Twilight read it over his shoulder and looked a little worried about his reaction but smiled when she heard him say "Blood Brilliant, I love magic," this made her question if something was wrong with him. "How can you be so calm about all of this and with Pinkie?" Twilight said getting a little frazzled. "Twilight you have to understand for the first eleven years of my life I thought magic didn't exist then I found out it was real and for six of the best years, I was surrounded by people who cast spells, brewed potions, and flew on brooms. Then I wind up here, in a world that is literally made of magic, and you're worried about how I would react with what Pinkie just did?" "Ok, I just thought, wait how do you know this world is made of magic?" She tilted her head gaining a smile for Harry. Tapping the side of his head. "It's called Mage Sight it's one of the perks I got when I came into the position of the Hollows," "The Hollows what are those?" Spike asked as he became interested in our conversation. "Oh, you must have stopped listening after you got that bag of gems," Harry said smiling at the now blushing dragon. So as Winky took the children away to play and later get ready for the party while Tippy and Peak cleaned up. Harry told Spike and Twilight the story about the three Peverell brothers their meeting with Death the gifts of the wand, the stone, and the cloak to what happened to the older two brothers, and how the youngest Ignotus in his final years greeted Death as an old friend and how the legend of the Master of Death came to be. "Wow, so when you got all of the hollows you became Deaths Master?" Spike asked looking excited. " No, Spike Death has no master the hollows are family heirlooms, and seeing as I am the last of the Peverell line through Ignotus they belong to me and with them the perks that they have," "What kind of perks?" Twilight asked as she was writing down everything Harry was saying. "Well let see first the wand increased my magic then the stone gave me Mage Sight and as for the cloak," Harry smiled as he disappeared from sight only to appear again on the other side of the table scaring Spike making him grab his chest a growl at Harry. "Amazing you can become invisible and this is from the cloak right?" Twilight asked scooting closer to Harry. This caused Harry to become a little uncomfortable it wasn't that Twilight was right sitting next to him where their flanks were touching. Well partly no, what it was being this close, Harry could smell her. Her shampoo was lavender, she also smelled of ink, parchment, and old books just like. He couldn't finish that thought so decided to move on. "Hey I know let's go to the library so I can teach you some of the magic from my old world, after all, I did promise," With a smile, Twilight nodded and the pair made their way to the library where for the next five hours Harry taught her everything he knew. It amazed him how Twilight just soaked up everything like a sponge. Transfiguration, Charms, Defense, Runes, Warding, and Positions she would read a book ask questions and Harry would show her the practical side of it. He even pulled out a few training dummies that he transfigured to look like creatures from this world. They both learned so much from each other that when Winky came and told them Miss Pinkie was getting ready for the party they didn't realize that they had spent so much time together and nothing weird had happened. But just like always when it comes to Harry Potter Fate has to jump in and say here try this. After they put everything away and got ready for the party the guest started arriving. Harry started to get that old feeling that something wasn't right but put it out of his mind. Now was not the time for things he was here to meet new people er ponies and to make friends. As the party went on a few things happened first not one of the mares in town could stop talking about the Alicorn Stallion and his two adorable foals, and speaking of foals Teddy was eating up the attention he was getting as for Delphi something wonderful happened to her. It seems that when she was trying to get somepony to help her get a cupcake no one would so getting a little upset she wished that one would just come to her and that is what it did. Watched by all around her Delphi's mane began to move in a nonexistent breeze and the cupcake floated over to her waiting hooves. Harry and Twilight saw as this was happening and it was Harry who moved first rushing over to his frightened daughter picking her up in his hooves giving her a hug and kiss. "Oh sweetheart I'm so proud of you, your first show of real magic,' He said kissing her cheek making her smile. "But how could she do that she's not a unicorn?" Some unknown pony said. "Yes but you must understand that Harry and his children were not born ponies. Delphi and Teddy were already very powerful with magic due to Harry and their bloodlines. Many of you have seen Little Teddy alter his appearance yet he is not a changeling so why is it not possible for Delphi who was born a witch to keep her magic even as a batpony." Twilight said as she entered what her friends called lecture mode. This explanation was enough to calm them all and the party continued as everyone started to mingle small snippets of conversations were caught by Harry one, in particular, was about Winky, Tippy, and Peak as they went around serving drinks and food to the guest while finding homes for the eleven friends. He did learn that a few elves did find homes, they were the Cakes, Nurse Redheart, and some pony named Timeturner just to name a few. It wasn't until near the end of the party that the feeling returned and he and Twilight both found out that they should always listen to that feeling. To set the mood Twilight walks over to Harry and reminded him of the one dance he promised her agreeing they made their way to the dancefloor unknown to them at the time there was a conspiracy afoot or hoof. Reaching the floor neither noticed the look from Rarity to the Pony DJ Vynal Scratch once there all sound stopped as the lights went down a spotlight landed on the two and then the music started. "You know we don't have to do this," Twilight said looking a little embarrassed. "No, I made a promise, and I always keep them, so how about we show them something they'll never forget?" Harry said as he reared up on his hind legs having Twilight do the same as they held onto each other swaying back and forth moving in a circle to the music. When the song ended they stepped away smiling at each other only to start blushing from the applause, whistles, and catcalls. Winky had decided that it was a good time to bring over both foals Harry taking Delphi and Twilight holding Teddy. No pony but the alicorn mare heard what was said by the little colt who was burrowing himself in the chest of the mare. "Mama," > Chapter Four___Is it the Forbidden or Everfree Forest > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- It has been three weeks since Harry and his kids have come to Equestria and more importantly started living with Twilight. And the mare couldn’t be happier for one thing Harry decided to have his complete library put into Twilights which increased the thing a hundredfold. Although he did put up Wards over the darker books just to be safe. The next thing Harry and Twilight did was take all of his money and give them to the Princesses to take care of which they did only to find out with all the Silver, Gold, Platinum, and especially the Mythril made Harry the wealthiest pony in Equestria. Hearing this Harry had them donated a third of it to charities like orphanages, hospitals, the guard even doing this he was still very rich. Twilight had warned him to be careful if the nobles of Cantorlot were to hear about his wealth they would try and weasel their way to get closer to him and that is what Harry was afraid of. To clear his head Harry went for a walk, following a well-used trail he didn’t notice that he was making his way into the forest near the town. It wasn’t until the light was almost gone that Harry looked around to see where he was. A little confused he stood there trying to remember what he was told about the forest. “Ok, lest see now what was the name again the Neverfear no, the Everfree that's right the Everfree Forest.” Harry thought to himself. “So if this is the Everfree Forest then why do I get the feeling this place is ten times worse than back there?” With that thought, Harry turned when he heard a twig snap only to breathe a sigh of relief when a small bunny hopped out onto the trail only to be snatched up by a giant wolf made of wood. “Oh you’ve got to be kidding,” He said making the wolf turn to look at him. “Well at least your not a giant spider,” He said casting an Incendio spell igniting the thing. The painful howling it made was not what Harry expected nor the arrival of five more wolves, looking around at all of them just made Harry sigh. “Look I bloody well just turned one of yours into charcoal,” He said pointing at the pile to his right. “Do you really want to mess with me?” One of the wolves growled and lunged at Harry, jumping to the side he dodged it turning on the spot he used a fire whip to severe the head of the thing. After seeing this the others backed off quickly and left. Letting out another sigh Harry started to walk back the way he came until he realized he didn’t know which way it was. He tried a point-me spell but all that did was make him dizzy so deciding to sit down and think for a moment was his best option. “When one is lost it is best, for one to sit and take a rest,” A voice said from Harry left. Turning that way Harry was greeted by a zebra remembering who it was from Twilights description, he stood and bowed his head. “Greetings you must be Ms. Zecora?” “Wise beyond your years I see, But pray tell could you tell your name to me?” Zecora said smiling. “Oh, my apologizes My name is Harry, Harry Potter, newest resident of Equestria and Ponyville,” He said bowing once more. “Yes traveler from afar you be, Why are you not afraid of the everfree?” It took Harry a few seconds to understand what she meant. “There was a forest next to my school that is honestly more dangerous than this one, here if you fight back hard enough the animals will give up, but back there fighting back made them want to eat you more,” “Then escort a lady home I get, For I am not as brave as you just yet.” Nodding Harry gestured for Zecora to lead the way to her hut and to show him which direction to go back to town. When they arrived at her home Harry had to repeat what he said before about this world “I love magic” To see Zecoras home was just breathtaking, a tree, it was a tree turned into a hut. Stepping inside was even better it was like Hagrid place many different things hanging from the walls and ceiling. To pass the time Harry had told Zecora of his life before coming here and she the same learning of her potions making and promising to bring her one of the advanced potions books when he returned. After saying goodby and heading in the right direction back Harry started to hum it was a song he heard Dudley listen to when he lived with the Dursleys. He didn’t know why but the song felt right and with the magic of this world, he began to sing. When he reached the castle most of the town's ponies were dancing along to the music and for some reason, it didn’t seem to bother him. It must be the magic of this place. As he walked through the doors Harry was greeted by his kids and Twilight going over he gave Teddy and Delphi a kiss on the top of their heads and then he kissed Twilight on the cheek before walking to the library to get the book for Zecora. Only to stop when he realized what he had done only to shake it off he just felt too good for anything to bother him. Twilight on the other hand stood there in complete shock and awe at what just happened until she snapped out of it by the giggling of Delphi and Teddy. But what happened next was what made her blush from head to tail. Both foals moved over to her and hugged her front legs and said as one “Mama.” > Chapter Five___Some like it mild > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sometimes life moves pretty fast, and sometimes it moves at a snail's pace, which is doing right now the snail part. See it has been over five months since Harry had come here and to the disappointment of Twilights friends nothing has happened between the two alicorns. Oh, there were times they would sit together on the sofa almost snuggling or they would give the foals a bath had acted like a real family, there were even times they would give a kiss to the other on the cheek in passing but nothing else. The mane five were getting desperate if those two did get on the ball some other mare was going to swoop in and take Harry away from her and let's not forget his foals, Delphi would be tough as she already sees Twi as her mommy but Teddy would be a hoof-full with his changeling abilities. So project DuskTwi was shifted into a higher gear if they could make these two see they were perfect for each other it was time to bring the big guns and by that the parents. Twilight Velvet and Night Lite had already seen pictures of Harry and his kids to say Velvet was cooing at the idea of those two angels calling her grandma was an understatement as for Night he couldn’t see the deal with it until he found out about Teddy already being an alicorn just like Flurry Heart. So those two were on board with the plan so with one little letter saying they were coming to visit everything was all set. Unfortunately for them both Twi and Harry were on to their plans it seemed that they learned of it from Winky one day when she told her Master and Mistress to stop Pussy-Hoofing around and marry so Mistress can make more pony babies for Winky to care for. It took the both of them over an hour swearing that Winky was not in trouble to calm her down and with that, a plan was formed between the three Winky would not tell the others that Master and Miss as Twi like herself to be called had already begun a relationship but they thought it was noponies business but their own and when they were ready they would tell them. So the battle lines were drawn on one side the mane five and the Sparkles and on the other Twi, Harry, Winky, and the foals. Spike saw what was happening and chose to tap out gracefully deciding to spend time in the Crystal Empire to visit his friend Thorax and this way he could have plausible deniability, that and to not have Rarity pry any information out of him. The first time they actually realized they had feelings for each other was when they woke in the same bed, see Twi was listening to one of Harry's stories he would tell the foals and one thing lead to another where Twi fell asleep in the bed with the foals between them. When they woke the next morning neither felt as if anything was wrong it felt right. “Is this what it’s like to be married to be a family?” She asked the stallion crossed from her. “I don’t really know I was always the one outside looking in,” Harry smiled at this feeling. “But what about you aunt and uncle surely they showed what it was like?” Twi looked sadden about what Harry had said. “My relatives weren’t the best role models for a loving family, I don’t think even the Weasleys were a good example, oh don't get me wrong that loved each other but it was more like a warzone every morning,” Harry said as he reaches over and kissed Twi on the lips. “This feels like how a family should be,” So with that first true kiss, they began a relationship in secret each day they would act oblivious to each other, and at night they would be a family. Twi even learned the lactation spell so she could feel the pleasure of feeding Teddy as her foal, Delphi tried it but liked her sippy cup better. Harry was a little embarrassed when Twi cast the spell and lifted her leg for Teddy to suck on her teet. “Oh, what's wrong my big brave stallion too scared to watch your marefriend feed our son?” She said realizing she called Teddy their son. “Well, it’s not that it’s just I can see your marebits and um...” Was all Harry could say before he turned red. Twilight giggled before she placed her wing over Teddy and bocking Harry’s view. “There all better, you big foal, but you do realize pretty soon you're going to want to do more than see my bits when estrus comes,” She stated matter of factly. “Yes, I know and when that time comes I’ll be ready but until then no peepshows,” Harry said punctuating this by bopping her nose. “But what if I’m really excited and begin swishing my tail back and forth?” Twi said with innocent eyes but a mischievous grin. “Then I better be standing in front of you when it happens,” He answered without looking at her. “Oh, your no fun, but you are cute,” She said making Harry look at her with a questionable look. “Handsome I meant handsome,” Twi replied quickly. “That’s better now what are we going to do about your parents when they get here?” Huff, “I don’t know, we can’t keep doing this,” Gesturing to the bed. “But I don't want to give it up even if we do get caught,” “Yeah, I don’t think I could sleep without you here, and I know for sure the kids would miss you so...” Harry said trying to think of something. “You know what buck it, we’ve been together for over four months and I hate hiding so we just tell them.” So the decision was made the secret couple would let the others know about their relationship and come hell or high water they’ll persevere. If only they could just forget it all and just have it stay as it is. Their thoughts were interrupted by a pair of bright flashes of flames looking in the direction both pony's mouths dropped open at the sight. Sitting on the end of the bed were two phoenixes. Philomena then Fawkes One Twilight recognized the other Harry and at the same time, they called their names. “Philomena, Fawkes!” The two majestic birds looked at the ponies in the bed together before turning to each other where Fawkes reached into his breast feathers and pulled out a bit and then laid it down in front of Philomena. Harry saw this and sighed. “Great the ruddy birds were even betting on us, wait a tick, Fawkes what are you doing here?” Fawkes thrilled and pointed to Philomena who thrilled back. “Oh, so this is your special somepony or well somephoenix?” Harry said looking from them to Twilight who wanted an explanation. “You see I always had a special link to Fawkes not like Hedwig but almost as strong,” Fawkes thrilled once more before hopping closer to them. “I see thank you and I’m sorry it took you so long to find me,” Harry said to Fawkes before turning towards Twi to explain. “ Fawkes said that when we left our old world my plea to magic took hold and all those with evil in their hearts lost their magic and it was given to the new witches and wizards making it so the Statue of Secrecy will be gone and he would have been here sooner but he had to find which dimension we came to.” “So you can understand him?” Twi asked looking interested. “Not so much as with words but images,” he said shrugging. Fawkes thrilled once more and Twilight looked into his eyes and saw what Harry meant. In the images, she saw as more and more magical babies were being born every day and the ICW was having a hard time trying to hide magic from the rest of the world. She then saw as Harry’s friends were at the forefront in teaching nonmagicals what was happening and the world was excepting it with fear. “Wow that's amazing Harry with all of this you could return to your old world,” Twilight said before the words registered in her mind. Harry looked at how sad his Marefriend looked at what she said and moved closer kissing her deeply he smiled. “Why would I want to go anywhere this is my no this is our home and this family stays together forever.” Twilight cried happy tears before she turned and called for Winky and with a pop, the little elf was there. “Winky can you take Delphi and Teddy to play please and thank you Winky,” Twi said as the elf had taken the children away leaving them alone. Twilight then bit her lip before she moved and got to her hooves then she dropped her front half keeping her rear in the air moving her tail out of the way she turned back to look Harry in the eyes. “I know Estrus doesn’t start for another month, but please Harry rut me, make me your mare,” She said looking hopeful. Harry looked in her eyes and then to the two Pheinix that just flamed out of the room before he got up and positioned himself to rut no he was going to make love to his mare and with that the two became one. If anypony were to walk by that room they would hear the moans of passion and confessions of true love coming from it. So it was on this day five months after Harry Potter and his two children had left their old world and arrive in Equestria when he and Princess Twilight Sparkle became Stallion and Mare in the eyes of magic itself. At the Ministry for Magic and Gringotts, in Britain, two pieces of parchment appeared magical marriage license both with the same names on them Harry James Potter\Dusk Shine and Twilight Sparkle Potter. > Chapter Six___Through the Rabbit Hole and Back Again > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Location Ministry for Magic London England the year 31 July 2000 two figures walked the hall both on a mission one a Hermione Jane Granger and the other Luna Siline Lovegood.

Picking them up she read them both and smiled before handing them to Hermione. “He deserves to be happy and this life will be best for him,” Luna said still smiling. Hermione read the first parchment and gasped then she read the second and she to smiled a tear forming in her eye. “Yes, I believe your right Luna he does deserve this life and I couldn’t be happier for him,” She as she placed the two parchments back on the desk before turning and walking out of the room heading back to their original destination.

The next morning Harry looked over to the mare he had spent his first night with, showing his love for her and vowing to be with her forever, smiling he leaned in and kissed her cheek. With a purr from the kiss, Twilight opened her eyes and smiled, “Good morning my sexy stallion how did you sleep?” “Just fine my beautiful mare and you?” “A little sore but well that is expected,” making them both blush. “Oh, where are Delphi and Teddy?” “Winky already has them, she’s going to give them a bath it seems that they wanted to see how far their magic could make breakfast fly,” both of them giggled about that, “Pour Peak it turns out he was the target, though they were getting good at aiming with him dodging around,” “Ugh, those two are just as bad as the marauders,” Twi said as she started to get out of bed only to be pulled back. “What’s the hurry we have plenty of time Winky is taking care of the kids and the others are cleaning the castle so?” He said wiggling his eyebrows. “So, or did you forget that my parents are coming today and we need to figure a way to tell them and our friends about us?” Raising an eyebrow. “Oh bugger, I forgot about that, well we could always do the Harry Potter method and just wing it?” Harry said only to get a deadpan look. “How long have you known me?” “Right, so where’s the list and how long is it?” He said laughing as he dodged a pillow. “I’m not that bad, anymore,” Twi said, the last part more to herself. “I know, and I’m not as impulsive as I used to be,” He said kisser her once more before getting out of bed only for him to be pulled back in. “Well they won’t be here for another six hours and my list is a short one so how about we be a little impulsive?” She said pulling the blanket over them. It was dawn and the lone figure of a Diamond Dog stood just outside the city of Phillydephia there he helped some ponies with a small problem with bandits. He just stood there looking in the direction of Catorlot for some reason he felt the magic pulling him to go there. So with a shrug, he strapped his sword to his back and stuck his wand up his sleeve before he started his trek to where magic was leading, “Well Padfoot let's see what magic has in store for us this time,” He said to himself as walked down the road while whistling a jaunty tune about a man from Nantucket. When the two love birds did make it out of bed they were walking down the hall to the library when Harry stopped and turned to look to the east and for some reason, he felt happier like an old friend was going to stop by for a visit. Shaking it off he continued to walk catching up to Twilight as she pulled a list out and started reading over it. “Ok, we can just make it if we get Tippy and Peak to help us, oh how did we ever live without their help even Spike is happier,” Twi stopped to think about the elves. “Spike is happier because he doesn’t have to dust the top shelves anymore,” Harry said walking past her. “True but I’m glad he didn’t act the same way as he did with Owlowiscious.” “Oh yeah, that was some adventure you all had, didn’t he find that little phoenix Peewee?” “Yep and the little guys not so little last I heard he’s on a migration flight with some other single phoenixes,” Looking at her list Twi chewed her bottom lip. “Ok enough talk we need to get to work so I cut the list into four parts, one for each of us and we should be done just before my parents arrive,” “Or we could split the list into thirds and have Winky help the others while you and I take Delphi and Teddy to the park and lunch?” Harry said with his lopsided grin. Twilight stood there thinking about that but looked at Harry with a little concern then growled. “Oh, you just don’t want to do any work you know hard work helps a pony build a better life for themself,” “Well, I tried so what's on my list?” Asking as he looked down. “Your is very easy and shouldn’t take too long,” She said hoofing it over to him. “Let's see clean, clean? clean what?” “The floors, walls you know clean,” “Fine just give me a tick,” With that Harry closed his eyes and concentrated thinking of the spells he used Wingardium Leviosa to lift all the dust off everything in the castle before think casting Evanesco to vanish it all away. “There, all done,” “W What, how, hey you cheated!” Twilight yelled stomping her hoof. “Oh contraire my beautiful princess, you did not say we could not use magic after all what do you think the elves use?” Harry stated at her matter of factly. “But, but that means that I have to work all by myself,” Twilight said as her bottom lip quivered. Harry sighed and pulled her into a hug. “No it just means you and I get to work together,” He said kissing her cheek knowing full well she planed this. “Good because we have a lot to do, first we need to reorganize the library and then we need to make sure there are plenty of snakes and one of the spare rooms is ready for my parents to stay in, and then...” As she was talking Harry just levitated her along as she read off the list shaking his head as he went. Five hours thirty-seven minutes later everything on Twilights list was done, although the elves did protest that they should be in charge of the snacks seeing as while Spike was gone they were in charge of the kitchen. Winky voiced this very sternly and loud. “You Miss Twili must understand elvies do work for joy of work whens you take that away elvies sad think Miss Twili no like or loves us and want to set us free,” Harry had to stop himself from rolling on the floor laughing at how Twilight looked being reprimanded by an elf. But explaining to Winky that her Miss Twili love all of them, and she too loved to work for the joy of working. Winky excepted this and gave her Mistress a hug but pulled back quickly looking at Twilights belly before she smiled then with a nod she popped out and back with Delphi and Teddy who were both very happy to see their mommy and daddy. That little action by Winky was missed by both ponies as they were so happy to see their children with hugs and kisses they sta done so they could go over their plan with the two rambunctious foals. “Now sweetheart you know mommy and daddy want to play a prank on our friends right?” Twi asked Delphi to get a nod. “Wike mawabers?” Delphi asked looking at her dad. “Yep just like the Marauders,” Harry said nodding. “So you and Teddy need to play your parts really really good and no spoilers,” He gestured his hoof, like locking his mouth shut. Both of the kids followed his movements through Teddy had a little trouble so he put his hoof to his mouth and made a shh noise. So the plan was set and the targets began to arrive. The first was the girls all greeting us as normal Twi and I hugged each of them smiling the only one we had to worry about was Pinkie and that damnable Pinkie Sense of hers. She opted to go and talk with Winky and the other elves about all the food and decorations she also introduced her own elf one that had as much energy as she did, named Popper. The little guy loved to work but he loved setting up parties more found out he used to work at the ministry when they had dances and balls. Though we did find out that Kreature did come with us the little blitter snuck in a trunk I never like him after what he did when Sirius was. Anyway, we found out Winky had him placed with the Rich family Filth, Spoiled, and Diamond Tiara Rich and according to her, he bitched and moaned for a month until he realized that Spoilded acted pretty much like Walburga Black then he fell in love with the mare. Now he just does his work and complains about young miss Diamond disgracing the Great and Noble Rich family for being nice to Blank Flanks. We were getting a little nervous when Twilight’s parents hadn’t shown up yet and then we found out why they were late when not only did Twilight Velvet and Nightlite trot through the door but so did Shining Armor and Princess Cadance with Spike and Flurry Heart in tow. This got Twili scared Cadance would be able to tell if they were truly in love with a quick glance at Harry who just smiled and shook his head slightly reassured her everything was fine. Twilight’s parents greeted her with a hug and kiss on the cheek then Shining moved in to do the same but before Cadance hugged Twili they both did this silly dance Harry later found out they did this every time they would see each other. But when Cadance did hug Twilight she looked at her carefully then she smiled hugging her again. Then she walked back over to her husband and in-laws slightly shaking her head this action made Velvet and Night look at the floor a little saddened, Shining on the other hoof looked happy. After all, he was Twili’s BBBFF, and then this stallion comes along with two foals in tow, who cares if he’s an alicorn, nopony was good enough for his little sister. Cadance took Flurry over to meet Delphi and Teddy who just fawned over them both, here were two foals around her age, and both could do magic and fly like her. Although the way Flurry was looking at Teddy made the Princess of Love chuckle then when Teddy changed to look more like Flurry the little filly squeed hugging him. Delphi really liked her because she wasn’t like Teddy a boy even at two she thought all boys were weird except for her daddy he was the best. The party continued on and both Twilight and Harry couldn’t believe their prank was working. Her friends kept asking her question after question but Twi was a trooper and didn’t let anything slip. Harry on the other hoof kept getting trapped by either her parents or friends even Applejack couldn’t tell if he was hiding something. It helped when he would use the old doublespeak answering without answering or changing the subject slightly or flat out changing the subject. The two were having so much fun until Flurry Heart let the proverbial cat out of the bag. Guess she wasn’t in on the prank like the others. It happened like this Flurry was sitting in the designated play area which was just a spot Harry wrecked some Wards to keep them inside it and not wanting to wander off. She was sitting there having a very in-depth conversation with the two and if you looked you could tell by their faces and hoof movements. But anyway she must have been told something because the next thing was her clinging to Harry's face like a, well like a facehugger screaming out Unca Howwy. so the jig was up when everypony heard that they all screamed “WHAT”. Twilight was bashfully giggling while Harry was rubbing the back of his head with that lopsided smile of his. “So you two were, and you just, how could you not?” Was Rainbows response as she hovered there looking at the two. “Best Prank Ever!” Pinkie beamed as she smiled. “Shoot Sugarcube I can’t believe yall pulled that one off?” Applejack said taking off her hat. “ Oh my,” Was all Fluttershy said. “Yes, yes, now darling that's a riveting joke, but we must know how long have you two been a couple?” Rarity asked stepping up next to Twilight. Everypony in the room was waiting for the answer so with a nod from Harry twilight smiled and answered. “For five months now,” The reaction was a little mixed all their friends fell over from the shock while Velvet and Cadance ran over and hugged Twilight congratulating her, as for Harry Dash gave him a punch in the shoulder for the good prank and promised retribution that would become known as the Greatest Prank War in Equestrian History. Might lite shook his hoof and gave him a small hug welcoming him to the family, and Shining well Shining was Shining he threatens Harry with bodily harm if he ever hurt Twilight in any way, Harry just told him that only Celestia, Luna, and Twilight knew about and how to use the three unforgivables so he accepts and welcomes the threat but when it came to fear Shining didn’t hold a candle to those three. Cadance came over to Harry smiling and laughing. “Oh, I can’t believe it worked I was sure I’d blow it sooner or later but that was really fun,” Velvet Night and Shining all looked shocked at hearing this. “Cadance you were in on this but how, why?” Shining asked looking at his wife. Oh lighten up sweetie Harry had Spike give me a letter when he came to visit and I just couldn’t help it besides I was indoctrinated into the Marauders, I even have my own Marauder Lovebutt,” She said proudly Harry lifted out three pieced together folded up parchments and placed his hoof on one saying the words “I solemnly swear that I’m up to no good” before everyonies eyes words and images began to appear. On the very top of the center parchment were the words Ponyville then the iconic phase minus one name appeared. Messrs Moony, Padfoot, and Prongs are proud to present the marauders' map' we would like to welcome Dusk Shine, Twinkletush, and Lovebutt to the illustrious fellowship of the Marauders. They all looked at the map and could see hoof prints with names with them as they moved around the map. “How did you do this it must of taking a great deal of magic?” Night said studying the map closely Not really I just put up wardstones all around the town and Sweet Apple Acres and used them to track every place and pony even Zecora is shown on the map see?” He said pointing to the name and hoof prints of the town's zebra resident as she was walking into town heading to the spa. “I have one of the Crystal Empire too but I still need more time for Cantorlot that place is loaded with a lot of its own magic. “Don’t you know what this means it could revolutionize security can it even detect a changeling?” Night nearly yelled before he looked around I'mbearest. “The map never lies it’s keyed to a ponies magical core and that can’t be copied even by a changeling,” Harry said as he passed the Crystal Empire map to Shining placing his hoof on the Ponyville map and saying “Mischief Manage” making the images disappear and the map fold its self up. “Actually if you want to Cantorlot’s map we’ll have time,” Twight said stepping over to the small group with a letter. “ It seems that Princess Celestia and Luna want us it Cantorlot the end of this week to reveal the new Princess and Princess to Equestria,” Harry looked confused about its until Velvet explained things to him. “Harry dear you and Teddy are both Alicorns that makes you royalty and Delphi is your daughter making her a princess,” Hearing this fear crept up on Harry’s face with Flurry sitting on his head holding onto his horn Harry rushed over grabbing Delphi and Teddy in his front hooves he then said three words before teleporting out of the room. “Bloody Hell No!” Twilight spoke without looking in the direction he was previously in. “Language Harry.” Harry popped back in and answered with “Equicish” before popping back out again. Everyone started laughing about what they had witnessed then Cadance spoke up. “Is it all right that he has Flurry with him?” “She’s fine, Harry only teleports to four spots and two of them he would never bring a foal to,” Twilight said shaking her head at the actions of her stallion she would never call him a coltfriend because he was her stallion. With that, she popped out of the room and a few minutes later returned with three foals covered in ice cream and one disgruntled alicorn. “They took mine, I didn’t get any ice cream,” “Now Harry, listen to me,” Twili said making Harry look at her. “It’s not all bad they just want to introduce the three of you to the rest of Equestria it will be a short ceremony then shaking hoofs with some nobles then we can come home.” At the word nobles, Harry cringed and it wasn’t missed by anypony in the room. Letting out a sigh he smiled at his mare. “Alright for you but if some of them are like the ones back there, Pranks Will Run Freely,” All the mares giggled except Twilight who just shook her head. Night leaned close to Harry and whispered in his ear. “If they're as good as this one I help you,” Before turning to smile at his wife. “Wait I have a question, Cadance if you were in on the prank then why did you hug Twilight, smile, and then hug her again?” Rarity asked rubbing her chin. “Oh, that simple Twili’s pregnant,” She said without a care in the world. Two things happened there first multiple jaws dropped to the floor and in Pinkie case literally and the second was two ponies fainted dead away Cadance looked around a little confused. “What was I not supposed to say anything?” Harry and Twilight awoke in bed to find their friends surrounding them all with smiles well not everypony was smiling, Shining was not happy you could tell by how he was grinding his teeth, and Nightlite looked saddened. Twilight turned to look at her father. “Daddy wants wrong why are you so sad?” “I don't get to walk you down the aisle,” Night said sadly. “Oh daddy, of course, you can why wouldn’t want that?” Harry smiled when he heard this and then noticed something that made him grin. “Twilight you need to use Finite Incantatem,” He said making her look at him. “Trust me, and I can’t believe I didn’t notice it before,” Twilight used the spell then felt something small around the base of her horn the others gasped at this Rarity brought over a mirror and that was when she saw it a ring, there was a ring at the base of her horn, but not just any ring it was the ring worn by the lady of the house. It was gold and silver but t what caught her eye was the stones there were four stones two rubies one emerald and a large onyx in the center, upon the stone was the simple of the Deathly Hollows. Harry used Finite Incantatem also and the lord's ring appeared at the base of his horn. “Um what just happened and why do you two have rings?” Dash asked pointing a hoof at us. “These are the rings of the Lord and Lady of the Most Ancient and Noble House of Potter Black Peverell Gryffindor Slytherin and they can only be worn by us if we are married in the eyes of magic,” He said rolling onto his back laughing. “What, what's so funny don’t, don't you want to be married to me?” Twilight asked as tears filled her eyes seeing Harry laughing. Harry stopped and pulled Twi into a hug. “Of course, I do this is the best, I just thought it was funny as that ring has more protections on it and access to the family magics.” “More howzit and access to what?” AJ asked tilting her head. “Well the protection part is a given as those were five very old family lines and as for the magic part Twi think of the Black family,” Harry said looking her in the eyes. Twilight closed her eyes and thought of the Black family their history and magic then she turned slightly green. “Blegh I don’t think I want to use that magic any time soon,” She said still a little green. “Well, they were the Blacks and they did have a reputation to uphold, if that was bad you might not like the Slytherin or the Peverell family magics that much,” Twilight closed her eyes again but opened them quickly. “Oh sweet Celestia, they used Necromancy, how, why?” “Twi the Peverells were also called the House of Death for a good reason, but I want you to access the Gryffindor family I think you’ll really be surprised,” Once again she closed her eyes then smiled as she opened them again. “ I want not to try it, I want to see if I can become an Animagus,” She said bouncing in place. “Well let me see I just hope I can still do it, after all, it’s been a while,” Harry said closing his eyes and concentrated, then they saw his body warp and change seconds later where Harry once was now sat a white furry creature then he warped again and another creature was in its place this one looked like a hedgehog somewhat then once again Harry was sitting there. Fluttershy Squeed when she saw both of them. “Oh my they were so cute now let me see if I remember their names from the books you gave me, Um the first was a Demiguise and the second was a Niffler,” “Absolutely correct you make Newt Scamander proud,” Harry said to the now blushing mare. “Oh Oh Oh, you going to teach me right, RIGHT?” Twilight asked more like demanded. “Suuure we just need to make the reviling position is all,” Harry said scooting back from the mare. “That's all well and good but we’re getting off track we need to first get Harry and the children ready for the reveal in Cantorlot and most importantly we need to get the preparation done for the wedding,” Rarity said singing the last part. Rarity’s words brought everything back into focus a wedding Harry and Twilight were getting married they were going to have a baby, a baby oh bugger Teddy would he be upset that there was going to be another baby? Their answer came when Winky popped in with the three foals Delphi and Teddy crawled up and sat between Harry and Twilight here was the moment of truth. “Teddy do you want to know a secret?” Twilight asked looking a little nervous. Teddy just looked at her “Mama” “Mommy is going to have another baby soon,” She said to him. Teddy tilted his head placing a hoof to his chest. “Ba” “Yes, you’re our baby boy but mommy has another baby inside her growing,” Twi looked at him smiling. Teddy looked like he was concentrating really hard to understand what was happening then he moved over and touched Twi’s belly and said “Ba” then his chest saying “Ba” then he moved closer hugging Twi’s belly smiling saying “Ba, Ba, Ba,” “That’s right Teddybear and you're going to be the best big brother ever aren’t you?” Harry asked nuzzling the foal making him laugh. “Now Delphi are you happy about this too?” “I’m Happy papa but could mama have a girl boys are icky girls are fun,” Delphi said looking innocent. “We’ll see but you know it might be a boy and girl or two boys or two girls or...” Harry was saying until Delphi put her hoof over his mouth. Everypony laughed at this as the family hugged this caused all in the room to join in. Five days till Cantorlot and the reveal to Harry it could have been five years he really hated the idea of the recognition it was just like back there. During this time though a few things did happen. In the case of Twilight where she found out some of the protections on her ring. She was working on a potion from the Slytherin family magic in her lab, she added an ingredient too soon, then in a flash the cauldron exploded, seconds later she found herself in the library unharmed looking around she closed her eyes tapping into the ring finding out one of the protections was to teleport her away from danger. Returning to her lab she stopped at the door to see the damage if the ring hadn’t saved her she would more than likely have been severely hurt there were trasses of a massive fireball that engulfed the entire room. The second was when she went out walking around town some of the ponies more likely tourists came rushing up to her when they all hit an invisible wall it seemed that another one was to keep strangers at a safe distance from her. As for Harry, he was having a terrible time first it was eight hours at Rarity’s getting fitted for all manner of clothes though he did talk her into making him and Twilight some dress robes with all the family crests on the breast. Then it was etiquette lessons with Cadance which he did get out of some of it by starting a debate about the use of love potions and if her magic was strong enough to counter the effects of Amortentia the most powerful love potion. Harry that’s not real love that stuff just causes a powerful infatuation or obsession from the drinker it’s just so wrong and I hope you have hidden the recipe away forever,” She said looking at me sternly. “Put it and a few other things under a Fidelius Charm, Winky’s the Secret Keeper,” He answered rather quickly. “Good, now where were we oh yes when you meet the nobles it is customary for them to introduce themselves first although there are some who think they are even above my aunts,” She said with a little venom in her voice. “If they're that rude why can’t I just transfigure them into pin cushions or something? “ He asked laying his head on the desk bored. “Though I would love to see that, you can’t you have to be above reproach,” “You do know who my father, godfather, and pseudo-uncle were right?” “Yes and don’t remind me I still don’t understand how that map chose the name Lovebutt for me?” Harry just shrugged it was probably Sirius’ influence the guy was a notorious lady's man. All this happened in the five days and now Harry Twilight the mane five Velvet, Night Shining, and Cadance were on the train to Cantorlot. Everyone was excited well everyone but Harry. All that changed as Harry had a flashback to his first year, alone pony who looked very nervous was standing next to Harry's seat. “Um, do yall mind if I sit here every place else is plumb full?” the pony asked looking around at the group feeling out of place. Harry just smiled and scooted over giving him room. “Not at all my names Harry by the way what's yours?” “Hayseed, Hayseed Turnip Truck,” He said offering his hoof to Harry. “I’m on my way ta Cntorlot to see the new prince and his kin,” “Yeah, so are we, you know I think we could get you a spot up in the front?” Harry said looking towards Shining and Cadance who just nodded still smiling. They had a very nice conversation the whole trip Harry learned that Hayseed was part of the Apple Family and did widow cleaning in Cantorlot and Manehatten. All the girls thought it was so cute that Hayseed didn’t know who he was talking to because Harry had his drees robes on covering his wings, but being who he was they didn’t think he’d act any different. When they arrived at the station everypony disembarked the group was greeted by two carriages ready to take them to the castle. Harry saw as Hayseed was about to walk off when he walked over pulling the pony with him to stand in front of one of the guards. He’s with us,” Harry said looking from Hayseed to the guard before touching his breast where his family crests were. The Guard has seen this and nodded welcoming the pony on board. “Well butter my biskets, I had thought yall was joking about gettin’ me, ta see the new prince and all “Now cuz, yall know better than that,” Applejack said smiling at her very excited relative. As they were making their way to the castle a figure was walking by them at the same time both of them began looking around for that all too familiar since but both shook it off as a flight of fancy how could it be true they weren’t here were they? When they reached the castle being greeted by both Princesses, it was at this time Hayseed realized who the pony he became friends with on the train really was. He didn’t hold any ill to the stallion he just laughed it off as a good joke and promised to visit him when he had the time. Applejack was happy about this seeing as most of her extended family tended to avoid him. When they entered the castle they were escorted through the many halls and Harry had to admit if they had any moving staircases and living pictures this place would be just like Hogwarts. Harry Twilight Delphi and Teddy were ushered into a small room off the side of the throne room and told to wait until they were introduced to the nobles and Equestria. “Ok, I can understand me and the kids, but why you?” He said pointing at Twili. “Well I am your wife now, so I have to be introduced as such, why are you ashamed of me?” She asked sticking out her bottom lip. “No of course not I would never... you are so going to get it when we get home Mrs. Twikletush,” Realising she was joking. There was a knock on the door as a guard stuck his head inside. “Their ready for you just follow me,” The four of them were just behind the dais waiting for their queue listening to Celestia. “Mare’s and Gentle Colts today we mark as a momentous occasion, a little over five months ago an Alicorn Stallion and his two foals appeared in Equestria,” With this Celestia had to raise her hoof to silence the crowd. “Yes amazing but due to some unforeseen circumstances we had decided to keep this information hidden from the public,” Again she raised her hoof. “ These circumstances will be joyous when they are heard for during this time our newest alicorn had met and fallen in love and with the blessing of magic, it's self they were declared Mare and Stallion. So without further ado please welcome Duck Shine the Alicorn Prince of Magic, Lord Hadrian James Potter Black Peverell Gryffindor Slytherin, and his children Princess Belladonna Delphi Potter Black and Prince Solarus Edward (Teddy) Lupin Potter.” Hearing their names called Harry carried Teddy while Delphi waked beside him bending down he nuzzled his daughter. “It's ok if you don't want to do this you can stay with Grandma and Grandpa,” Pointing out the door where Velvet and Night were sitting at a table. “No Papa you and Mama are going to be there I not scared” Twili and Harry both hugged their little girl then they walked out into the throne room where they were greeted by gasps then applause. Standing next to Celestia, Harry looked up at the mare, “Couldn’t help it had to use the full name didn’t ya?” “Of course that way you can make them call you by your full title if you want,” “Good point but why the prince of magic?” “Twilight will explain everything later,” She said turning to look out to the audience. “Now to introduce the lucky mare who had won the heart of this stallion The Princess of Friendship Twilight Sparkle The Lady Mare Potter Black Peverell Gryffindor Slytherin,” With that Twilight came out to roars of applause. Walking over she took Teddy from Harry as he picked up Delphi the four looked out to the gathering of ponies and as one bowed before they escorted off the dais to join their friends and meet the nobles. Harry went with Dash and Pinkie to have a little mischief. Sitting at a table Dash would point out a pony and either Pinkie or Harry would use magic or a prank that was until Spitfire and Soran came over. They wanted to know what we were up to and if they could join see Harry met them three months ago when he introduced Quidditch to Ponyville and Cloudsdale. The really amazing thing he found out was when he saw Scootaloo riding a Cleansweep 700 like it was part of her, so he secretly switched it with his Firebolt and not even Dash could keep up with her. Harry was very surprised to learn that for the Ponyville team Scootaloo the seeker was the only other pegasus with a young colt named Rumble. The rest of the team is mostly earthponies Applebloom, Diamond Tiara, and Silver Spoon are the chasers, Sweetie Belle is the keeper, and Rumble with a colt named Pipsquewk are the beaters. The party was continuing as normal to put it simply it was so boring. Harry was glad that Velvet and Nite agreed to watch Delphi and Teddy and they were already gone when it happened. Harry had that feeling again the one where something bad was going to happen, but this time it wasn't him but Twilight the feeling was around. Getting up from the table apologizing to the others he made his way to where Twili was at. Getting closer he could hear the stallion who was speaking to his wife and let's just say it was very fortunate that Princess Luna was nearby. Seeing the tears in Twili's eyes as that animal called her a whorse who would lift her tail for any pony was no Princess. Harry's angrier had no equal, using Levicorpus to have the jerk looking him in the eyes, Harry growled when he saw the smug look of Blueblood looking back at him. He didn't even think about what was going on as Harry called out Sectumsempra and let the dark spell fly hitting its target, before he turned and ran out of the room as well as the castle with Twilight hot on his heels. "I'm sorry, I killed him I know it, but what he said I just, I'm so sorry," Was all Harry could say as he was running. 'Stop, please, Harry I can't keep up, Harry, stop running and look at me, HARRY JAMES POTTER YOU WILL STOP RIGHT NOW!!! During this little show, the Diamond dog was walking away from the pony guards he had been talking with when he heard Twilight yell. He looked around trying to find who she was yelling at when he saw them, those same eyes, eyes he could never forget yes they were on the body of a pony now. One that pretty much looked exactly looked like the princess but thank Merlin was still a guy, but there was no mistake about those eyes. "Ha, Harry?" The dog asked in a shaky voice. "Pup is that you?" This time Harry recognized the voice only to turn to look at a diamond dog with tear-filled eyes. Harry turned to stand in front of the dog looking carefully at it, he noticed that even on two legs he recognized that mangy mutt of his Godfather's animagus form of Padfoot. "Prongslet is that really you?" Harry's eyes grew in shock taking one step forward licking his dry lips he opened his mouth. " Si, Sirius is that you?" "Ya Pup it's me and I must..." THUD That was the only sound heard as Harry fainted dead away. > Chapter Seven___Revenge is best served cold > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Moaning, Harry slowly was coming back to the world of consciousness, he opened his eyes only to shut them and smiled when he felt the weight of the three most important lives in his life resting on his chest. Finally, Harry looked over to the one figure who brought all of this on. Closing his eyes and taking a deep breath knowing full well what he was going to do, Harry lifted Twilights head up and kissed her lips. "Luv could you take the kids with you and tell everypony I'm fine, I have some things to discuss with my recently rediscovered godfather," Harry said giving Twilight and the kids one more kiss before they left the room. Harry just sat there on the bed of pillows looking at his living godfather closing his eyes and taking a deep breath. "A stunning spell, you were beaten by her with a stunning spell, all because you had to think it was nothing but a game, do you know what it was like to lose the last parent I had all because you couldn't take it serious, siris and don't say anything," Getting up Harry stood in front of his godfather. Sirius moved to hug his godson only to be hit with a blasting hex throwing him against the far wall. "Don't you dare, don't think you can just think a hug will fix all this, you bastard? You have no idea what my life was like after you died or before but you can't be blamed for that after all it went against the great manipulator's plans," "What are you talking about, who in Merlin's name is the great manipulator?" "Of course, you wouldn't know what I'm talking about after all he kept you in the dark like all the rest of his loyal minions, but you still have no excuse for that fight with Bellatrix. She even told me that she was going all out until the end when she just wanted to take you out of the fight after all she couldn't kill the head of her house now could she?" "Harry, I know you're upset but it sounds like Crazy Bella wasn't so crazy and Albus the greatest leader of the light wasn't so light," "Let me tell you a story Sirius, a story about a man who believed the hype about himself so much that he destroyed countless lives all for his Greater Good. First off Albie heard the prophecy a year before I was born and instead of going to a Master of Deviation, Albie who only had one year of that worthless class took it upon himself to interpret the thing. The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approaches... born to those who have thrice defied him, born as the seventh month dies... and the Dark Lord will mark him as his equal, but he will have power the Dark Lord knows not... and either must die at the hand of the other, for neither can live while the other survives... the one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord will be born as the seventh month dies. "So let us break down some of the crap Albie did wrong, First this was a self-fulfilling prophecy meaning if everyone would have ignored it then nothing would have happened." Sirius just sat there listening to everything Harry was saying about how it was Albie who cast the Fidelius Charm, to ignoring Harry's parent's Wills, the magical blocks, compulsion charms, to every borderline illegal and dark thing the old goat had done to him growing up. Harry told him about his years at Hogwarts the danger he was put into, all the tests, or truly the attempts of trying to kill him there were. The more the old dog heard the madder he got, Harry had to hit him with a cheering charm a few times. After five hours Sirius had finally understood, it was Albus who let him rout in prison it was Albus who destroyed so many lives, it was Albus who created Voldemort for his own means, it was Albus and Snape who Hogwarts had deemed unworthy to be recognized as Headmasters for their actions against the safety and betterment of the students. This little tidbit caught the old dog's attention he learned that what Dumbledore was doing as the headmaster all those years went against the charter and the Heart of Hogwarts seeing as all headmasters and mistresses took an unbreakable vow to protect the students and school even Dippet swore the vow, but Dumbledore never did nor did Snape in fact Snape was never chosen as headmaster and what he did to the students with the Carrow twins just proved that he was nothing more than a selfish coward. Dumbles, on the other hand, Hogwarts saw him as a liar and thief who cared more about his greater good than anything else, but what clinched it was when Dumbledore had let Voldemort inside the school putting not only Harry but all the students live in danger. "So you're telling me that Dumbles was never Headmaster because he didn't take the oath and Snape was just in it for himself, wait how did you find out about all of this?" Flashback Headmistress McGonagall office Harry stood there looking at the two portraits, Snape's had his, I wish you were dead James Potter clone sneer while the other one had the I am so disappointed in you Harry because you're still alive and didn't follow my plan for the greater good look that was until both of them noticed that Harry was holding the Sword of Gryffindor in his left hand with the Elder Wand in his right. "So would either of you like to explain how a traitorous coward or the worst dark lord in history have portraits in this school? No?, I bet I could just guess, Let's see, ok then the Deatheater first the reason you have a portrait is all thanks to your dark master but you'll understand in a minute. Now as for you Bumbles I know for a fact that all portraits must answer any question with the truth, but I know you so tell me just how many compulsion charms and dark rituals did you do to make it for that frame to keep you from speaking the truth? Never mind that Bumbles for you see I learned some very important things over the years. First of all, seeing as neither of you had sworn the oath to the school and students neither of you have the right to be called headmaster nor do you have the right to have portraits in here let alone the school so goodbye, so long, adios, arrivederci, But before the magic of the school whips you from all its history and I do mean all of its histories I thought you both would like me to introduce my self to you, I happen to be Lord Hadrian James Potter Black Peverell Gryffindor Slytherin." With those words spoken magic had whipped from existence the false history of both Severis Tabios Snape and Albus Wilfrid Dumbledore, he added Percival and Brian to make himself sound more important when he met his lover and co-Dark Lord Gillert Grindelwald. "Oh, I wish I could have seen the looks on their faces, but enough about all that, let's talk about how my godson not only walked through the vail with his two kids but got turned into a pony an alicorn pony and got himself married to the newest princess with one more baby on the way, your dad worked fast with your mom but a family of three in less than a year, James would be jealous and Lily would be so happy to have a smart and pretty daughter-in-law just like herself and to have three grandbabies." This time Sirius did get to hug his godson as both of them laughed. So for the next hour, Harry with the help of returned Twilight and children told Sirius, or as he was called now Padfoot Black what had happened to his then their lives. Twilight was a little worried about how he would be with Delphi but those fears were gone when Sirius picked up both foals and hugged and kissed them while telling them about all the adventures their now grandfather had done while he had been waiting for them all to show up. So now Twilight had to only change one thing in the seating arrangements for the reception that was until Padfoot mentioned his lady friends who would just love to come to the wedding. Knowing that Sirius was doing this on purpose Harry started telling the kids about their grandfather's time at Hogwarts and how bad he was with picking up girls until their grandma Lily finally told all the girls the truth that he did not have a flubberworm for a wee-wee making both Delphi and Twili laugh. "Wait that was Tiger-Lily, I always thought it was Alice who started the rumor? So what do we do now, I mean you're here and it looks like you have everything under control," Sirius said looking at his godson. "I don't know, I mean, I have everything I ever wanted a beautiful wife, two well almost three kids, a family that's what I have a family, and you being here Padfoot makes it all the better," Harry said smiling. "I think it would be a good idea for your godfather to be introduced to everypony else," Came the voice of Celestia as she walked into the room followed by Luna who smiled and winked at Sirius. Harry didn't miss that little display and started thinking up pranks to play on them both after all what kind of a son of the legendary marauders would he be?
