A Proper Heir

Chapter 1

Godric's hollow

October 31st 1981

Lily Evans Potter, Wife of Heir James Potter Auror Captain, and Heir to the Potter Family, one of the oldest and most prominent families that could trace their ancestry to Ancient Greece, was sitting in the living room of the cottage they were hiding in.

She wasn't happy to be here when they could have easily hidden at Potter Manor here in England behind its war wards with James parents who literally begged in every letter they received, James however was being James and putting his faith in Albus-to-many-bloody-names-Dumbledore.

Don't get here wrong she greatly respected Albus, but the man was not the same Albus who fought against Grindelwald in the last war. This was a war-weary Dumbledore, an old man who was tired of war death and destruction.

"Lily, please be reasonable about this, Albus said it was Safer for us here?" he told her only to see his wife give him the look of (are you a complete and utter moron) a look he was all too familiar with.

"Hiding here in a cottage under charm with that spinless rat of a friend of yours as our secret keeper is safer than hiding behind the centuries-old War-Wards and professionally trained guards of your

family's private army," Lilly told him in a tone that said you are an idiot.

Oh yes the Potter Family may be an old magical family but they didn't just make their wealth in the magical world, oh no the potters decided to use their wealth to make waves in the muggle world by investing in various companies and establishing magical variants of them for example the East India Company in the muggle world dissolved in 1874, in the magical world it still existed and was the largest trading company in the magical world with a cover in the muggle world as PGS (Potter Global Shipping) a part of The Potter Family Trust.

The armed guards that Lily talked about were the private security and PMC group that protected the companies many assets across the globe, but they had been forbidden by the Ministry of magic to aid in fighting the death eaters only in defense of the family or their business interests, after the battle of Potter Manor on July 30th 1980 when Voldemort sent a host to sack Potter manor to capture the pregnant lily potter and hold her and Lord Charles Potters' unborn grandson as hostages to force him to support the him and the death eaters.

Yeah, needless to say it failed miserably; Voldemort had been watching as these guards who were a mixture of Squibs, Muggle-borns, half-bloods and even a few purebloods, cut down his forces with spell fire and mundane weaponry; he left and used his followers in the Wizengamot to originally order House potter to disband there forces in Britain, only for the Wizengamot to do damage control when Charles told them he would close down his families business, they had no choice but to settle for the PMCs to only fire in defence of the family and their business.

James closed his eyes, this was not the first time they had this argument, merlin this was not only time he had his arguments with his parents, Charles and Dorea even his Uncle Arcturus, Black Lord of the Black Family a House as old as his own, family and just as rich, who constantly told him to stop acting childish and think of his family.

James had refused mainly out of pride; as a child, his father had tried to teach him how to be a successful lord when it came time for him to take his place as the new Head of the family, only to be constantly disappointed in his heir who enjoyed playing pranks with Sirius which only got worse when Sirius ran away to live with them, not that Charles minded he was the boys uncle, also Arcturus agreed with it.

James had matured when he and lily started dating and now had a child, little Hadrian Potter or harry for short, before they went into hiding Charles enjoyed spending time with his grandson it didn't matter to him that his mother was a Muggleborn, lily had proven herself time and time again and harry was a calm and happy child, Dorea on the other hand loved the child and every chance she could would hold him in her arms spending hours staring down at her only grandchild who enjoyed looking up at her and giggling.

James had agreed to change his will ensuring his parents got custody of harry encase something did happen to him and lily, it would be the last thing he did to ensure his son would be safe.

"Charles!, Dorea yelled at the top of her lungs making the Lord jump and run from his office seeing his wife in a craze. "Dorea what's wrong what's happened?" he asked trying to get her to calm down only to see what she was holding, it was the monitor alert they had given lily, it was going off Godric's hollow was under attack.

Wasting no time, Charles Dorea and a group of their personal guards apparated to the cottage now that the charm was down and the cottage was badly damaged, and standing there was Sirius handing there Grandson over to Hagrid of all people, let's say that didn't happen as Dorea left with her grandson tears in her eyes seeing her son and Daughter in laws bodies, while Charles oversaw preparation's for their burial, while Sirius left to find the rat not that he told Charles that, while a slightly scared Hagrid returned to Hogwarts just as Albus was about to head to Number 4.

"Hagrid? What are you doing here where is young Harry?" he asked only to understand and slightly pale that he was now with his Grandparents, two people that didn't like or trust him plans started to form in his head about how to get a hold of the boy and prepare him for his destiny, only for a surge of pain in his chest, his connection to Fawkes, said Phoenix appeared before him his look sent a clear message to the aged headmaster. Had he really strayed Soo far from the light looking at his old friend he nodded to his angry companion. "Your right my friend I shall leave the boy alone, I will do my best to train him but he deserves to be with his family who would love and care for him better than the Dursleys he believed, it would turn out he would be right when Minivera would come to his office the next day and tell him about the horrors that were the Dursley family.

Dorea Potter refused to let Harry out of her sight fearing he would vanish Charles sat there the proud Pureblood Lord was very silent he had lost his only son and Daughter-in-law leaving his grandson an orphan, he would take all measures to protect his Grandson his brother-in-law Arcturus had contacted him with horrible news 2 days ago that Sirius was in St Mungo's in a coma, a result of confronting Peter Pettigrew which resulted in 13 dead muggles a vaporised Pettigrew and a injured Sirius black, Charles had no idea what was happening but Arcturus informed him he would be over later today to discuss important business.
