[OG] Champion of Ravenclaw: Inheritance

Picnics with forgetful uncles.

A/N: ...miss me? Well I'm back. Sorry if this is a little rusty. It's been a while.

Topaz was run by the Harper's, the head of which greeted him instantly, his children Jenny and Josh by his side. Carlos Harper was a large burly man with dark hair, his wings were black, his tail was the same, Harry got the feeling he was also a panther, accept one of his eyes was milky white, it took a while for him to realise that he was completely blind in his left eye. Perhaps it was because the man showed no weakness, in fact Harry sensed he was frightfully strong. He stared down at Harry, his dark eye seemed to reach into Harry's soul.

"Hey Kitten, what brings you to this neck of the woods." Josh said with a grin.

"We're on a beach." Jenny hissed.

"It's an expression." Josh hissed back.

"Quiet you two." Carlos snapped, the twins stood to attention almost instantly. And then in a quieter tone Carlos spoke to Harry. "Tell me cub, why are you here?"

"I'm... Coming to visit relatives, sir." Harry replied.

"What relatives? Show me your ID and I'll find them for you." Harry held out his hand and watched the surprised expression pass over the old dominant. "Ah, you're here for Henry then. This way." Harry wasted no time in following the man, though he spoke kindly Harry couldn't help but feel a little intimidated. Carlos was a no nonsense Man, much like Daisy he could feel a gentle patience that has a limit. Harry was lead to a small shack closest to the beach. This is where Carlos stopped. "This is the Potter residence."

"Thank you, sir." Harry said ducking his head in respect and thanks. The man laughed and a rough skinned hand patted Harry on the back.

"No need for thanks cub, we all look out for each other here. Henry's a good man, you'll get along swimmingly I think. Now I best be off. Come on you two." Carlos began to walk away, the twins gave Harry a long look with expressions Harry was unsure of before they ran after the elder. After a moment to calm himself he turned to the door and knocked. There was the odd sound of someone falling off a chair and then of them scrambling to the door.

"I know what you're thinking Len but I wasn't asleep." The man grumbled rubbing his eyes. 'He was definitely asleep.' Harry thought with slight amusement.

"That's not why I'm here sir." Harry said recoiling at the strong smell of ink and parchment. The man squinted at him and scratched his head.

"I'm not subscribing to that silly newspaper. What's it called? The Cats Meow?" He huffed.

"Not that either." Harry said, though he had to fight a small smirk at the name. The man squinted more and then turned and retreated into the house leaving the door open and Harry very confused. He was debating on following him in or calling out when the man returned with a pair of glasses not unlike his own. He put them on and looked at Harry once more.

"James?" He gasped making Harry feel excited once again.

"No sir, but close. I'm his son." He said. And that was all he could say as the man swept him into a bone crushing hug. One with a vice grip seemingly too powerful for the skinny frame of the man. Seemed the Potter family had a thing about hugging. Not that Harry was complaining really.

"You must be Happy!"

"Harry." Harry corrected, though yes, he was in a considerably high mood.

"Right, I've heard so much about you. I'm your uncle Henry, the last time I saw you was... Well I've never actually seen you till now but I've seen pictures. The last I saw you were nearly a year old." The man babbled. Harry didn't mind he simply basked in the fact he was with his family. Just like with Mary, quirkiness aside he instantly loved the man before him. "Adam and Len have gone Surfing and Catherine had gone to the neighbours for some milk." Harry was set free from the hug as Henry looked at him with a marvellous smile.
