Chapter Four: Part Two


Severus Snape was standing among the crowd of Death Eaters. It was August 30th , and the Dark Lord had called a meeting. He glanced around wondering what was going to happen next. When the Dark Lord’s voice broke through his muses.


“My faithful, I called you all here this day so that we could celebrate our alliance with the Demons. Also I wanted to congradulate one among you on getting Potter kissed on the marrow. Even though he is innocent.”


“What do you mean innocent My Lord?” came a young voice from the Outer Circle.


“Cruso!” hissed Voldemort hitting the young Death Eater, causing him to wither on the floor screaming. “Don’t you ever question me.” Voldemort stated as he released the spell.


“Forgive me, My Lord.” wheezed the Death Eater.


“Next time Weasley, keep your mouth shut. However I will enlighten you all.” Voldemort stated as he began telling them all what had happened the night of the Dursley’s were murdered. When he was finished. He ended the meeting with the arrival date of the Demons. As well as the behavior he expected from his servants.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Before Severus could leave. Lucius Malfoy pulled him aside as whispered, “Now you can tell the old fool of his ‘Golden boys’ innocence Severus.” Before Lucius slipped away behind the throne room door.


Aspirating away, Severus had one goal in mind as he stood in front of the Order Headquarters. He needed to get Dumbledore to get Harry released from Azkaban.


“The Order of the Phoenix is now in session.” Dumbledore stated as he looked around. Good they’re all here he thought as he started going over the progress of his latest weapon, Neville Longbottom.


“Well Albus, Neville is progressing nicely. He is already passed Newt Level. And we are now getting ready to start training him with Auror Level spells.” Sirius Black replied with strength.


“Sirius is right Albus, he’s ready. Though some of his spell work is weak in certain area’s. But we expected that in the beginning.” Remus Lupin said softly.


Albus smiled as his eyes began to twinkle brightly. He was ecstatic that his weapon was going to be strong enough to do his job. “Now on to other matters. Severus, what of Tom?”


Severus Snape narrowed his eyes, before smirking at the others. It was a smirk that all knew he had some very good information. “First of all, the Demons are scheduled to arrive in a fortnight. As well as the Dark Lord gloated on the innocence of one Harry Potter.”


“No, the evidence was right there.” whispered Black and Lupin in shock.


“They’re correct Severus, I think the Tom is just trying to find out he’s spy.” Albus Dumbledore stated with conviction.


Severus’s couldn’t believe what he was hearing. Did they not listen to what he had said. Harry Potter was innocent, and the Dark Lord detailed the whole scene for his Death Eaters. “Then why was he so smug about the whole thing, Albus?”


“As I have already said Severus, he just wants to find his spy.” Albus restated with a hard voice and cold eyes.


Severus knew then, that the conversation was over. What shocked him the most was everyone present believed it. “Be it on your head Albus if you’re wrong.” He snarled before he turned robes billowing as he left the room.


“Well now that’s over with. Let’s move on to the Demons, shall we.” Albus replied as he and the older Order member discussed what kind of outcomes they could think of.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Minister Fudge was humming a soft tune as he and the Warden of Azkaban. As well as four guards walked toward the cell of one Harry Potter. He had been informed that Potter was all but catatonic. That the boy just stopped talking and hardly moved from his spot, except to eat and sleep.


“Potter it’s time.” the Warden stated coldly as the cell holding ‘Harry Potter’ was opened.


The four guards raced in to shackle the prisoner. Once done they lead said prisoner to the chamber to be kissed. With the Minister and Warden in the front.


“Well Potter any last words?” Minister Fudge smirked.



‘Harry’ looked up with cold eyes. But he said nothing. Which made the Minister and the guards shiver. But that could have been due to the Dementors that were just in the other room.


After they vacated the chamber, the Warden watched as the Dementors were released into the room. A smile graced the Minister’s face as they descended on ‘Harry’.


“Well that’s one less problem to deal with.” Fudge stated as he went to leave. But before he did, he turned to the Warden and stated. “Burn it nobody is going to care.” At the Warden’s nod of understanding he left the prison with a smile.

Daily Prophet Special Edition
August 31st 1997


On June 1996, Harry James Potter was sentenced to life in Azkaban Prison, for three counts of murder. Over the next year many had come forward demanding Potter receive the Kiss.


After months of deliberation, the Wigenmont and the Ministry of Britain finally agreed. And so at 9:05 this morning Harry James Potter was given the Dementor’s Kiss.


The Minister of Magic, made this comment afterward. “Burn it nobody is going to care.” Before he left Azkaban this morning.


So gentle wizards and witches the murder and traitor is no more among us. Maybe we can all rest alittle easier now. Knowing that Potter will not try to harm us. If You-Know-Who invades Azkaban.


The orb will reading will be held at Gringotts Bank on September 1st at 10 am. For all those that wish to attend.

Evans Castle, California


Aiden Kage was in his study reading over his correspondence with Griphook about the day of his will reading, that it was opened to the public. Because the Wigenmont and Minister approved such. And the fact it was being held the next day. And that he needed to read the Daily Prophet that was enclosed.


So grabbing the Prophet he snarled at the front page. “Bastards!” he exclaimed before tossing it into the burning fireplace. He thanked Merlin that he had gotten out of there when he did. There was no way he would help them, if they ever found out the truth of his innocents.


Getting back to his correspondence, he seen a letter addressed to his former name. Knowing that Griphook wouldn’t send him something that could harm him or trace his location. As he broke the seal, he was blinking in shock at whom had written it. That he had to cast a spell to make sure it was authentic. Sure enough it was. And it was dated the 30th of August.

Potter,

I have no idea why that I felt the need to write this. Or if you’ll even read it after knowing whom its from. However I need you to know there are a few of us that feel you are innocent. No that’s not right, I know you’re innocent. First off, I was told once by Lucius Malfoy and then by the Dark Lord himself.


When I told Dumbledore at the Order Meeting tonight. He stated that the Dark Lord was just trying to find the spy within his ranks. The others present agreed. That is incorrect. For the old man has two. Myself as well as Lucius. For the life of me, I couldn’t let you go to your death, without the knowledge there was at least a few of us that feel that you’d been framed.


This letter was left with the Potter Accounts Manager, Griphook. For he gave the impression that you would receive this immediately. For what its worth, I’m sorry that you were treated so poorly at my hand. Your mother is probably waiting for me to pass through this life just so she could strangle me herself. So tell her I’m sorry for not keeping you safe.

Severus Snape


Tears were streaming down Aiden’s face as he finished the letter. He felt somewhat better knowing that at least someone felt he’d been innocent. He knew there was no way to sent anything back to the man. Hell the man thought him dead. Its for the best he thought as he laid it aside. Then a thought stuck him and contacted Griphook via the box he was given by the Goblin.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Will Orb Reading: Gringotts.

Griphook snarled as he watched the enlarged viewing room fill up with people. He wanted to kill them all, the first being Dumbledore then next the Minister of Magic. A will reading was private not for the public. Griphook, could swear there was at least a thousand people in the room.


He’d seen Lord Snape walk in and nodded vaguely, letting him know his letter had been delivered. And wanted to smile when the wizard bowed slightly in thanks. Griphook was going to enjoy this, for a will orb reading couldn’t be contested.


“Be seated for the orb reading of the late Harold James Potter”

As Harry became visible, the people present were hissing and growling. They didn’t shut up until Griphook demanded silence.


“Well damn, guess I finally died. Huh? I truly hope that old Moldy went with me. But if not, its not my problem. Here goes, I Harold James Potter being of sound mind and body leave the following.”


“To Fred & George Weasley 1 million galleons each. I hope you can now expand the business.” They both smiled and nodded at the image of Harry. They felt so bad that he wasn’t with them anymore.


“To Sirius Black and Remus Lupin 5 million galleons each. And Maruader Cottage in Ireland. I figure that is the least I can do, since you were friends with my Dad.” They both just narrowed their eyes at the thought of the traitor.


“To Severus Snape, First I want to say thank you. Your probably asking yourself why a Potter of all people would be thanking you. Well you did keep me safe while I was at Hogwarts, as well as keep me grounded. I knew that I could always count on you. Even if I’d never said it. Next, I apologise for the pensive. I never should have taken a look see. Am I forgiven? (Severus closed his eyes with a nod.) Anyway lets get on with it yeah? I leave Severus Snape 2 million galleons as well as the books on Potions in the Potter Vault. I’m sure you will get more out of them than me.”


“Draco Malfoy, I know you’re here and I’m glad. Because I also owe you an apology. I’m sorry that I didn’t take your hand all those years ago. You were right, some wizarding families are better than others. With that I leave you 2 million galleons and a request if you would. Give the Weasel and Mudblood hell for me.” Draco gasped, before turning to the two mentioned with a look of pure evil.

“Ronald Weasley and Hermione Granger, I leave you both nothing. How dare you pretend to be my friends. Just so you could get your hands on my money. Well guess what not gonna happen. You should learn not to talk in corridors. You never now who will hear you.”


“Mr. & Mrs. Weasley, I really don’t know what to say. I ask myself after hearing my supposed friends that night. If you two knew what they were doing. But I never got the answer. But I’m not a total arse, so I leave you both 2 million galleons to do with as you will.”


“Ginny, Ginny Weasley, I also leave you nothing. How dare you let the Headmaster give you a love potion and then spike my juice. Oh yes, I know it was you. Well I’ll tell you now that you should be glad I’m dead. Because you would never hope to hold the title of Lady Potter. Why? Because you chit I don’t swing that way. That’s right Gin., Gin. I like cock!”


“Dumbledore, I leave you with the knowledge that I figured you out. All I ever was for you was a weapon. You sent me to the Dursleys with the knowledge they would abuse me and starve me. Everytime I came to you begging to stay anywhere by there. You told me that I needed the protection that my Aunt provided. But what of the protection I needed from them? There was no blood wards on that house. I knew after third year old man. The only wards on that house were done by you. How can you live with what you’ve done?”



“Griphook, you know what to do!” Harry disappeared as the orb went black. Indicating that it was finished.


“Everyone will now exit the room except the following people. Severus Snape, The Weasley family, Hermione Granger, Sirius Black , Remus Lupin and Albus Dumbledore. If you are not named and have received something from the will please sign the paper at the door. And your money or valuables willed to you will be placed in your vault.”


After the room emptied of all but the ones mentioned. Griphook went to Severus. “Lord Snape, if you would follow me for a private reading.” With that said the Goblin led Snape into another warded room. That had one chair and a table with another orb. Severus looked at the Goblin in confusion.


“Mr. Potter received your letter, Lord Snape and requested this be watched only by you.” remarked Griphook before leaving, and closing the door behind him.


Severus walked toward the table and sat down . Taking a deep breath he touch the orb. He watched as Harry Potter’s image became clear. He was sitting on a stool with Azkaban robes looking wary. Severus waited in silence as the image spoke.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Griphook reentered the room containing the others with another orb. “This was made the day before Mr. Potter was Kissed. You all will listen to what he had to say in silence or you will be forcibly removed.” snarled Griphook as he touched the orb.

Harry Potter appeared looking angry as he sat upon a stool in prison robes.
“I guess everyone is present Griphook. Since I know you are someone that wouldn’t disappoint. Well I wanted to say that all of you that helped but me in Azkaban during that farce of a trial. Can kiss my arse. When old Moldyshorts takes you all out with his Demon allies. Just remember that you betrayed me and now you’re all going to pay the price. I was innocent damn it, and you all help sentence me to Hell on Earth. Why wasn’t I allowed Vertiserum Headmaster? Huh? Can you answer that? Of course you can. You just wanted me out of the way. Didn’t you?” Harry then looked around the room he was in, they imagined.


“You didn’t like the fact that I was pulling away from you. So when my last blood relatives were murdered. You helped condemn me. Well I’ll have you know that I still see what old Moldy’s doing. When he let’s me that is.”


“Black and Lupin, what you said to me that day at the Ministry it hurt. I was so shocked to see you Black sitting there free. I had hoped you of all people would push for the truth. But you didn’t. And Lupin what you said just about killed me right then. “


“Well Dumbledore, I hope you’re happy. I know about Neville. I seen it through Voldemorts eyes. How can you condemn him to death like that. You know he wasn’t the one. You just needed another weapon. Didn’t you? “


“The day you all condemned me was the first time in my life I felt hate. Not even my Aunt and Uncle or Cousin for that matter didn’t make me hate. I knew they were afraid. And even though that didn’t excuse what they had done to me. I understood why they did it. The whole time I’ve been in Azkaban hearing the deaths of my mother and Cedric. I finally didn’t care anymore what happened as long as I was free. Well now I’m dead that’s as free as you can get. And I blame the whole lot of you as well as the Wizarding world as a whole. As far as I’m concerned Voldemort can have you.” With that said the image of Harry Potter vanished back into the orb, turning it black.


The group didn’t know what to say. So they remained silent as Griphook escorted them out of the room, after having them sign for their money from the reading earlier.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


“Hello Professor. I just wanted to thank you for the letter. Its ironic isn’t it, that you of all people believed in my innocents. When others that should have condemned me to Hell. Anyway I won’t keep you. Don’t feel that you didn’t keep your promise to my mother, Professor. Because as far as I’m concerned you did. And for that I’m thankful. Just so you know Professor, that I’m not afraid to die and I’m sure when the time comes and you and Mom meet again, she won’t try and strangle you. Good-bye Professor.” Harry stated quickly as his image vanished back into the orb.

Severus Snape was speechless. He couldn’t believe the boy had gotten all that out of his letter. Before he walked out the door, he whispered to the empty room. “Good-bye Harry and Thank You.”

It was September 6th and Wyatt sat behind his desk in deep thought. All the reports he’d received about the wizard Kage had been dull. Since his arrival Kage hadn’t left his castle. But once since his arrival. That in itself was confusing. Aaron and Joshua had reported nothing out of the ordinary. It seemed as though Kage was just visiting. But the notice from Griggotts had stated that Kage was here to stay. Because he didn’t want any part of the war going on in Britain.


But that didn’t make any sense. The reports from his guards had stated that Kage was powerful. Even to the point of being almost as powerful as himself. That didn’t sit well with Wyatt. The more he thought about it the more questions arose.


Snapping his fingers he summoned Aaron. He waited until the man appeared before him.


“My King?”

“Has there been any change with Kage, Aaron?” Wyatt asked as he watched his most trusted.


“Nothing, My King. The only thing that was different was the day he went to Gringotts to meet his Account Manager. And he was only there for about an hour and a half.” Aaron whispered, he knew that his King was getting to the point of just summoning the strange wizard.

“Fine, I’m sending a summons and you’re going to deliver it!” stated Wyatt as he grabbed paper and ink. When he was finished he waited as Aaron flashed out. It wouldn’t be long now, before he figured out what Kage was doing on his soil.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Aiden Kage was in kitchen with Dobby. He remembered the day that Dobby had just shown up in his parlor. And once Aiden had checked his wards and calmed the elf down. He was told rather boldly by Dobby that he was staying to help Master Potter.


That caused another round of getting Dobby used to calling him Aiden or Kage. And about an hour later they had reached an agreement. Aiden would bond Dobby and Winky to him. In return the two would call him by name. And take at least one day off a week as well as be paid.


Shaking his head clear. Aiden watched Dobby make lunch for the two of them. Winky had went into the Wizarding part to do some shopping. They weren’t prepared for a strangely dressed wizard appear before them with a piece of paper.


Aiden had whipped out his hand. At the same time Dobby snapped his fingers. The stranger was wide eyed as he stood frozen in place.


“Master Kage, what’s yous want Dobby to do with strange wizard?”


“Let’s find out who he is and what he wants first Dobby.” Aiden stated coldly as he flicked his wrist to release the silencing spell. But left the freezing spell in place.


“Who are you? And what do you want?” snarled Aiden as Dobby stood in front of him to add extra protection. Even though he didn’t need it. Aiden wouldn’t tell Dobby that though. It felt nice having the elf to depend on.


“My name is Aaron. And I’m here by order of my King.” Aaron stated with narrowed eyes. He couldn’t believe the power rolling off the small man.


“King of Magics, Master Kage.” Dobby stated with awe.



Aiden raised an eyebrow as a slight smirk graced his lips. “And what does your King ask of me?”


Aaron wanted to scream. He had never been treated this way. “You have been summoned to his Magesty.”


“For?” Aiden was loving the expressions that were crossing this Aaron’s face. And from the movement of Dobby’s ears so was he.


“For? You can’t be serious. You are summoned by the King for questioning.” snarled Aaron.


“ Indeed! Well, I guess I have the time.” Aiden snickered as he released his spell. Before nodded to Dobby to do the same.


Once Aaron was released he moved to grab Aiden. Only to be stopped again by that elf.

“Yous no touchy Master Kage!” Dobby smirked. That did it Aiden couldn’t help himself and roared in laughter.


“That’s enough Dobby. I have nothing to hide from this King. You’ll have to excuse the cold reception. I do apologies.” Aiden stated as he held his arm out to Aaron. And in a flash they were gone. Leaving Dobby alone.


“I’s hoping yous knows whats yous doing Master Harry.” whispered Dobby to an empty room.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Aiden found himself in a small reception room. As he tried to get his breathing under control. Since Azkaban, he’d been having some trouble with smaller spaces.


The door suddenly opened and he was motioned to follow. Aiden noticed it wasn’t the same one that had been in his home. When they reached a large oak door. His escort turned to him and stated.


“Lord Kage, no matter what you think about our King. He is a good man and as long as you’re honest. This will be a short meeting.”


Aiden just nodded in confusion. He still didn’t understand why he was here in the first place. He knew that he didn’t do anything wrong since he came to America.


“Enter!” came a controlled voice from behind the door.


His escort opened the door and pushed Aiden inside. Once inside the door was closed behind him. Looking around he noticed the one that had been in his home. Aaron was it?


The he noticed one of the most handsome male he’d ever meet. This must be the King. He’s not much older than me. Aiden thought as he stayed where he was.


“Aiden Kage, My name is Wyatt Matthew Halliwell. And I’m the King of Magic.” stated Wyatt as he studied the small male before him. He couldn’t believe how small Kage was. He didn’t believe Aaron when he said that Kage looked effeminate. But he would have to agree, now that he’d seen the male.


Aiden Kage just blinked.


“Please forgive the way you were summoned. However it was necessary.” Wyatt explained vaguely as he motioned for Kage to have a seat.


Aiden smirked as he sat down before replying. “All’s forgiven I feel that Aaron caught myself and Dobby of guard. For that I apologize.” Shit what am I doing. He thought as he answered.


Wyatt smiled inwardly. He could tell that Kage was being truthful. However his magic was showing a duel identity. “Now that we have gotten the pleasantries over will. Tell me have you always gone by Aiden Kage?”


Oh Shit! Thought Aiden as he could feel the change in the King of Magic. He was caught and knew it.

Bingo! Let the games begin. Thought Wyatt as he smile like the cat that caught the cream.


AN: There you have it everyone. I hope you like it. If you have any ideas I’d be happy to hear them. Thank you all for the wonderful reviews.
