The landing in the arrivals and departures hall at gringotts wasn't exactly smooth, "gosh, i hate portkeys" Althea whispered while holding her stomach, they always managed to make her sick.
As soon as the nausea passed, she took a moment to look at the room, the walls were stone with columns carved from black marble.
"Welcome Mrs.Potter, come banker ripclaw is waiting" intervened a goblin stationed near the doors.
Althea bowed her head in thanks and followed the goblin through various corridors until she reached a double door of black wood on which thousands of runes were engraved to create various protections.
The Goblin knocked three times and opened the door when a voice rang the goblin in.
In the richly decorated room in front of a mahogany desk were Xanxus,Squalo and Viper together with the nono Vongola and his right hand man Coyote Nougat, an elderly man with shoulder length hair and a metal arm.
Behind the desk was banker Ripclaw who was responsible for Althea's down payments.
"Now that Ms.Potter has arrived i think we can begin" said ripclaw after the pleasantries "since in the mundane world Mr.Xanxus is not yet recognized as an adult, don Vongola has decided to be the new legal guardian while Mr.Xanxus will be the magical guardian by right of magic, power and warrior ability is this acceptable to you Ms.Potter?"
"I, Althea Dorea Potter heir of the noble house of Potter, The Ancient and Noble houses of Black and Peverell and the ancient houses of Gryffindor and Slytherin accept Timoteo Vongola, Don Vongola nono as my legal guardian and Xanxus, Lord Slytherin and Head of Varia as my magical guardian until the age of 17, when i will ascend to lady of the noble house of Potter, the ancient and noble houses of Black and Peverell, and the Ancient house of Gryffindor until my death, and remain heir to the ancient house of Slytherin until the birth of an heir of my brothers line. Witnessed be my magic,my flames and the goblin warriors and treasure keepers. And so be it." Althea recited from memory to activate the rite.
Nono raised his right hand and recited "I, Timoteo Vongola, don Vongola nono, swear to take care of Althea Dorea Potter as if she were my blood as her legal guardian until she reaches the age of 17. Witnessed by my flames and goblin warriors and treasure keepers. And so be it."
Finally Xanxus "I,Xanxus boss of the Varia swear to be Althea's magical guardian until she turns 17 witnessed by my flames and goblin warriors and treasure keepers. And so be it."
The still air of the room suddenly moved and a golden light incorporated the three, demonstrating that the rite was completed.
In one suburb all the illegally imposed wards fell without a trace, the only reason the spy didn't notice was the mist illusions left by the Varia.
In a certain office at hogwarts delicate silver trinkets stopped working but the castle itself placed an illusion to make one believe that they still worked to protect the innocent caught in the middle of a war older than itself, the spirit of hogwarts was not happy that his charges were put in danger by those who should have protected them.
Finally in a tribunal while the court was ascertaining the innocence of a certain boarding school, Sirius was the only one to perceive that the rite was completed and he had lost the custody of Althea, however, Sirius smiled not only because he was finally found innocent but also because Althea was free from Dumbledore's clutches.
No one noticed Althea's absence, hell no one noticed that the dursley's were missing.
After Sirius' innocence was proclaimed, the dementors returned to Azkaban to everyone's relief.
The end of the school year came without any problems.
As the students boarded the express to go home a letter was delivered to the headmaster.
Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore was sitting in his office sucking on a lemon drop, although Sirius Black had been declared innocent he had not been able to take custody of Althea Potter.
Every plan was going perfectly, Althea would soon return to the muggles and spend another summer of desperation that would make her even more malleable.
Or at least that's what he thought.
The letter just delivered to him said something completely different, the dursley's had been missing for months and the goblins summoned him to gringotts for the custody of Althea months ago...
Althea Potter had a new guardian, a guardian that was not him, nor over whom he had any control.
He had to retrieve the girl before she arrived in the muggle world and he lost sight of her.
"Looks like you were right Luna, they really did come to kidnap Thea" Neville whispered to his guardians.
"Good thing she never got on the train then," said Fred and George, as they peered out the compartment window.
Daphne who was a little further back asked "will we see her this summer?"
"Only those who go to the world cup, the little one will spend the summer in the land of the rising sun together with the tenth generation." Luna replied.
"Well, now it's time to think about holidays, in a week instead we will gather at the Pendragon family headquarters. We will spend the rest of the summer training together." Cedric reminded the group.
"Does that mean I get to spend the summer Tort-training Neville? I can't wait" Blaise exclaimed with a huge grin on his face.
Neville saw Blaise's face and began to pray to whatever higher being existed to save him, in another dimension full of demons,monsters, and hunters a certain author of a little known series sneezed, while writing about two brothers who were about to face one of the horsemen of the apocalypse.
Althea looked at the clock on the wall of her room in the Varia mansion, the train had now arrived at its destination she thought as she finished packing her bags to go to namimori.
She was absolutely thrilled to meet Vongola X.
How had she arrived in Italy so quickly you ask?
Simple Dobby had brought her with the joint apparition, but now the poor elf was exhausted.
The rest of the trip would be by plane.
Once she finished packing her things she packed them up and ran towards the limousine to go to the airport.
Namimori here we come.
