Previously on A Tale of Two Families;
Harry and Steve are raised together. Sadly, the Potter family is filled with secrets that have haunted two generations of Potters. James' sperm donor has left deep wounds and the family dynamics are complicated.
In The Final Year,
Harry and Steve's final year at Hogwarts is magical and filled with danger. Steve and Bucky are given a special serum that transforms them. However with the good comes the bad, and
a dangerous enemy called
HYDRA is hunting them. They send two agents, William Burnside and Jack Monroe,
to Hogwarts. In addition,
the Potter clan lost two of their own
when Nanami and her husband Kieran was killed in a train accident along with their youngest Rukia. However, Harry, Steve, and Liam discovered otherwise when a HYDRA agent told them that Rukia had survived the train crash. They were left wondering why they weren't told about Rukia's survival.
In A World Tour,
Bucky, Steve, Harry, and their friends have graduated from Hogwarts. They decide to take a year off to travel the world. They want to see what the world has to offer. Among their interests are the magical schools around the world. Their secondary and important purpose was to see if there was any news of their cousin Rukia. Sadly, HYDRA continued to follow them. Luckily, or unluckily depending on who you ask, HYDRA was finally brought down. Their tour ended and they returned home; only having confirmed Rukia's survival. But all they knew was that Rukia had been taken from the hospital by a strange man. What they didn't know was that said man had an agenda for the Potters.
a local pizzeria, Brooklyn, New York City, New York;
Bucky and Steve went on a date. They didn't realize how much they missed Brooklyn until they were away from it for months. On their first day after the jet lag wore off, they made their way out for beer and pizza. The cheap pizza with hot wings tasted like pure heaven as all of the nostalgia melted on their taste buds. They also enjoyed a cheesecake despite the lack of room in their stomachs. It was pure heaven.
a secret location somewhere in New York City;
James had been fuming all the while. When the kids were in bed and tucked in. James showed himself to the man angrily.
"Kindly return the kids home to their loved ones and leave their family alone! You have done enough damage!" James shouted. The man stared at James incredulously.
"You do know who I am?" he mocked.
"Henry White." James retorted.
"An absolute wretch that happens to be my father."
Henry flinched and James got a sick satisfaction out of knowing something he doesn't.
"And who are you?" Henry said at last.
"That is not your concern beyond this. You will return those children, and if you do not, you will have more to fear than the authorities," James sneered. "For once in your meaningless life, do good by someone other than yourself."
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
the dining room, Potter Manor, Brooklyn, New York City, New York;
Bucky, Steve, their families and friends got together to celebrate Steve's 18th birthday. They made a big feast and served it. It had Steve's favorite roasted chicken, garlic potatoes, apple pie, and fresh baked rolls. They gave their gifts and watched as he blew out a candle on his little chocolate cake. Steve kissed Bucky and hugged his family, thoroughly overwhelmed by the love.
"Thank you," he smiled before wiping his tears.
the family room;
The Potter clan had a meeting. They took turns catching up with each other.

streets of Brooklyn;
Harry and Sally went on a date.
The couple held hands and walked through the street. They stopped at a late night hot dog stand and ordered their favorite dog and loaded fries. After eating their meal on the street corner and people watching, they ended the night at the bakery, eating slices of chiffon cake and smiling happily.

Bucky and Steve's bedrom, Potter Manor;
Bucky and Steve had some alone time in their bedroom. They locked the door behind them before stripping naked. When they were naked, Bucky picked Steve up and dropped him on the king bed before joining him with the lube. Bucky kissed down Steve's body, making him moan. They kissed again before coming up for air. Bucky got the lube and slicked up his fingers before prepping Steve with care, going up to three fingers and stretching him out.
When Bucky was satisfied that Steve was ready, he
got more lube and slicked himself up. Bucky got in between Steve's thighs and thrust inside. When Steve had adjusted, he let Bucky know. So Bucky started moving. The pace was slow as he dragged it out for as long as possible.
A long time later, Bucky took pity on his boyfriend and sped up the pace. Bucky wrapped his fingers around Steve and started stroking. A few minutes later, Steve screamed as he spilled his seed across their stomachs. Bucky held out for a few more minutes before spilling his seed deep inside the younger man. As they came down from their highs, they shared a sweet kiss and smiled.

Brooklyn, New York City, New York;
The group
showed
the League around Brooklyn.
The team was used to bustling cities, but Brooklyn was completely unique. They passed by busy corner stores, sandwich shops, bars, and other businesses. The League made a list of places to stop while they were in the city, but Bucky shook his head.
"A list doesn't do this place justice," he said. "Just stick with us. We'll take you to the best places."
a souvenir shop;
Touya and Keigo went on a date.
The couple broke off from the rest of the team with a promise to meet them at the book shop not far from the Potter residence. The couple got lunch at a sandwich shop before browsing the stores. It was a touristy activity, but they happily bought garish New York merchandise.
"A couple outfit?" Touya teased as he put on his Statue of Liberty t-shirt. Keigo rolled his eyes and put on his own Empire State Building t-shirt.
"Whatever you say." he replied.
outside a bookstore;
Steve
took thirteen
year old Gabrielle,
seven year
old Julian
and Meilin, twelve year
old Himiko, and
eleven year old
Shane out.
The group headed to the bookstore to pick up a signed copy of their favorite series when
Henry and his men grabbed them off the street in broad daylight. Their mouth was covered to muffle their scream, and the usual lunch rush had long passed. As they were dragged into the alley, no one saw a thing. At least, that was what Henry believed.
a local coffee shop;
Sirius and Remus had gone out for coffee. They were having fun when their date was disrupted.
Touya and Keigo rushed into the shop and stopped in front of them.
"Boys?" Sirius said, immediately putting down his cup.
"Someone grabbed Steve!" Keigo panted. "We saw someone drag him and the teens into the alley."
"Where?"
"Near the bookstore!" Touya answered. "We need to go!"
the family room, Potter Manor;
The Potter clan had a meeting. They were frantic. They had heard about the kidnapping. All of sudden, Jiaying entered the room with Zhang and Ning. Jiaying was furious.
"This is his work." Jiaying announced.
"Who?" Zhang asked. Sirius and Remus immediately tensed.
"Henry's been long dead, Jiaying," Remus answered. "He's a ghost."
"Ghosts still have power," Ning answered. "Especially if they believe they have unfinished business."
Bucky jumped up, "Who the hell is Henry?!" Sirius and Remus simply hugged him.
"I think it's time you know," Sirius sighed.

to the portrait
gallery. The quartet were then sat down and the rest of the Potter family history revealed.
"It's time you knew the rest of the story." Zhang began. The following story proved to be more horrific.
"Henry decided to copy the non-magical
King Henry's infamy
and have both his cake and eat it." Cassandra scowled.
"He coerced that poor girl Anne into a relationship." Effie sighed.
"His ultimate sin was when he decided to annul his marriage to Meihui and wed Jane Fawcett." Fleamont spoke.
"He had help annulling the marriage from Albus Dumbledore." Richard added.
"Okay, hold on!" Harry sighed. "Who is Henry to us?"
Ning took his hand and patted it. "He was your grandfather, and he was a horrible man."
the solar, Potter Manor, Devon, England, Europe, 1959;
Henry and Jane met with the Potters in the solar. Fleamont and Effie were there with Richard, Cassandra, Anne, and Meihui. The older adults were looking grim. Henry was looking smug.
"Well? Does this mean that you have decided to accept things?" he asked. Henry and Jane's smug looks soon vanished with the next words.
"I wish that we didn't have to do this. But I have no other choice." Fleamont announced before going on to annul Henry and Jane's marriage
much to Jane's horror and Henry's fury.
"We will be taking the child in when they are born." Effie added. Fleamont wasn't yet done, Henry was disowned from the Potter family and the Graves family. Henry screamed as he felt the family magics ripped from him. The wards acted and both Henry and Jane were expelled. While Jane was left at St. Mungoes, Henry was dumped elsewhere;
he was now a no-name wizard.
"He wants his revenge any way he can get it," Cassandra lamented.
a bedroom, a secret location somewhere in New York;
Gabrielle, Mei
Lin, Steve, Shane, Julian, Fumi, and Himiko were confused when they were led to a room
and then locked in.
"The bad men got you too. " a young voice said. They turned and saw two familiar-looking children.
'"Lyon! Rukia?!" Himiko, Shane, Fumi, and Steve exclaimed. The children were then scooped up in bear hugs.
Steve panted, "We were looking for you!"
Rukia replied, "They hurt you, too." She touched the bruise on his face. He bit one of the guys that grabbed him and was backhanded.
"It will be fine," he reassured. "We'll get you out of here."
the solar, the grounds of Potter Manor;
Touya and Keigo met with Jin, Magne, Atsuhiro, Oboro, Tenko, and Spinner in the solar.
"Brace yourself. Things will soon get ugly." Keigo warned. The others gave him curious looks.
"Let's just say that Touya's family isn't the only ones with secrets. This one is one hell of a doozy." Keigo sighed.
"Nothing could surprise us," Jin said. The couple looked at each other.
"Want to bet?" Keigo replied.
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
a mansion deep inside the woods, upstate New York, United States of America, North America;
The rescue team arrived at Henry's base.
The base was a massive mansion deep in the woods. It was far enough outside of the city and covered by trees. Unless someone was looking for it, the mansion was well hidden away from prying eyes.
"This is where he called home," Zhang said. "We get in and get out. If we can take out Henry, then that is a plus."
"Priority is Steve and the kids," Bucky stated.

About a half hour passed before they found the right room. They swiftly dealt with the guards and took their keys and opened the door. The kids looked up in disbelief, before realization dawned. Steve tackled Bucky. Bucky returned the hug.
"We have to get out of here, fast." he warned.
"If they lock us in, we're all stuck."
They grabbed the kids and ran away with Steve and Bucky hot on their tail.

Henry's apartment, Harlem;
In the meantime, Henry had his own problems. Jiaying and Genevieve Deveraux arrived at his hideout. Both women were furious. Henry had messed with their family for the last time!

"Found you," Jiaying smirked.

Things rapidly grew heated and Touya pulled away to get the lube. He coated his fingers thoroughly with the lube and slipped a finger inside Keigo. Keigo moaned as he melted into pleasure. When Keigo had adjusted, he let Touya know, so Touya added another finger and another as he stretched his love out. When Keigo was practically riding Touya's fingers, the older man pulled them out. He got the lube and squeezed some lube on his erection. Then Touya lined himself up against Keigo's entrance. He then pushed inside and went still. Keigo moaned at Touya's size. Gradually, he adjusted.
"You can move." he sighed. Touya started thrusting. The pace was slow at first, as Touya took his time and made Keigo feel it.
Twenty minutes passed before they were close to their climaxes. Touya took Keigo in hand and started stroking. A moment later, Keigo screamed as he came all over Touya's hand. Touya held out for five more minutes before spilling his seed deep inside Keigo. In the aftermath, they shared a sweet kiss and smiled.

the parlor, Potter Manor, Brooklyn;
Jiaying and Genevieve met with Huizhang.
Huizhang looked up when he saw his mother and godmother.
"Well?" he asked.
"He's gone." Jiaying announced, sitting down in one of the chairs.

"He's gone and won't hurt us again." Jiaying reassured.
Huizhang asked, "Did you have trouble with the clean-up?"
"None at all. It was like he wasn't even there." came the reply.

the parlor, Potter Manor, Brooklyn, New York City, New York, the United States of America, North America;
Sirius, Regulus, Narcissa, and Huizhang met in the aftermath.
The adults all came together to set up an alibi to explain the death. The agreement as simple: in the event that Henry's body was discovered, they would all deny it happened. The police could know they were guilty, but they would have nothing to keep them on.
"Are we in agreement?" Sirius said. "No one talks. No one acknowledges his existence. None of our children should know any details."
"And if they ask," Narcissa said, "we tell them it is none of their concern."
"They won't like it, but they will understand when they get older," Huizhang finished. They finished their tea and left it at that.
a burger shop;
Touya and Keigo went on a date.
The couple went to a small burger shop mostly patronized by college students. It had cheap drinks, good burgers, and fun games.

the family room, Potter Manor, Brookyln;
James appeared to Harry, Touya, and Keigo while they were talking quietly.
"The Potter family business might be over, but the Blacks still have one loose end that needs tying up," James warned.
"Dad?" Harry gasped.
"Harry, you need to help them. Keigo, take your siblings to the Gringotts. All of it will make sense."
Before anyone else could speak, he was gone.
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----

Sirius, Regulus, Cissa, Bella, Ted, Andi, Dora, and Carina were bewildered to be called to the bank. The Goblin Bank manager entered the room with Keigo and Harry. Harry was looking shellshocked while Keigo looked resigned.
"What is the matter?" Regulus asked.
"This concerns the Black family." the goblin explained. In reply Keigo looked at Harry.
"You need to tell them. It's best that they heard it from you." Harry pointed out. Keigo merely sighed before handing Sirius a piece of paper.
"It's Lyon's heritage test." was all Keigo had to say. Sirius looked at the paper and started reading it. His eyes went wide.
“Lucius?! Lyon is his son?!” Sirius gasped.
“Which makes him Carina’s brother,” Keigo added.

My mom's final order to the house elves was to keep us kids safe at all costs. She then hid us before going to help my dad. They got her outside in the hallway. Them killing her brought it all back." Keigo swallowed as painful memories threatened to overtake him.
"What happened?" Jin asked in confusion.
“They raped her and killed her. When the authorities came, they found her and covered her before we could see,” Keigo cried. Touya took his hand and hugged him.
“He spared Beau,” he finished on his love’s behalf. “He was also raped and Lyon was born from it.”
Lyon approached them and wiped at Keigo’s face. The older man smiled and hugged his little brother. They cuddled him close and promised to help each other heal.

the Flag Smashers
and Black Widows,
under their respective alias Mordred and Morgana.
They were hellbent on taking down their father's murderers, but it was currently a matter of identifying them.
The siblings were not delusional to think their father was a good man. However, they knew they could not let outsiders disrespect their familial legacy. In the wizarding world, your name was as good as anything, and a slight was seen as a challenge in most noble families. This was merely routine.
"It's time to take matters into our own hands, brother," Morgana said. "We must make them pay."
the wizaengamot meeting room, Ministry of Magic, Britain, United Kingdom, Europe;

taking said lessons. Narcissa and Jiaying were in charge of tutoring.

Harry met with Death. He needed advice, and Magic's Avatar was his best option.
“Ultimately, the choice is yours,” Death answered.
“But I don’t want to kill them. Henry was a monster but they don’t have to be.” Harry was left far more conflicted than he was before.
a secret location;
The villains met up, they were besides themselves in glee.
"Time for the endgame." Mordred announced.
“Time to make them suffer.” Morgana added.
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
wizengamot meeting room, Ministry of Magic, London, Britain, United Kingdom, Europe;
The wizards were in the middle of the annual monthly wizengamot meeting when it was gatecrashed by Mordred, Morgana, the Flag Smashers and Black Widows. They were armed to the teeth with either guns or batons, while Mordred and Morgana had their wands.
The ministry was ill prepared and could barely fight back when they arrived.
Ministry of Magic;
The Flag Smashers had spread out and was going through the ministry and taking the entire government hostage. The building had gone into a lockdown and no one was allowed to leave. But an Auror managed to sound the alarm before all hell broke loose.
Soon, the young heroes were there and ready for a fight.
wizengamot room;
Steve, Touya, Fleur, and their friends faced the Flag Smashers and Black Widows in a final battle. Harry and Beiyue went to deal with Mordred and Morgana directly. Steve used all the anger he had held in to fight their enemy. Touya and Fleur were close behind, taking out minor underlings.
This all gave the ministry time to recover and prepare a plan of evacuation. No one knew why they were being attacked, but they would examine that another time.
a local arcade, Brooklyn, New York City, New York, United States of America, North America, a few days ago;
Harry and Sally went on a date. Harry was upset he couldn’t find much else in his parents’ journals. Sally, worried for him, convinced him to come to the arcade with her. He sighed but eventually pulled himself away from his notes to have some fun.
By the end of the night, he was glad he followed her lead. He smiled and laughed out loud, something overshadowed by grief of uncovering more of his parents’ thoughts and feelings before their death. Now, he was in this beautiful moment.
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
Ministry of Magic, London, Britain, United Kingdom, Europe;
Unknown to the villains, the Potters had a backup plan. The portal opened in the middle of the ministry building and Oboro, Atushiro, Magne, Jin, Tenko, and Spinner emerged. They spread out and rescued the hostages. They got bystanders out of the way and distracted.
Mordred yelled, “What?!” Harry smirked at him.
“Can’t brute force your way through this one,” the younger man smirked. He got back into the fight with a newfound confidence, quickly showing how strong he had grown since his parents were lost.
Ministry of Magic;
The battle between the heroes and villains were underway. Neither side was willing to yield. Steve put all his fight into stopping the enemy. Fleur and Touya aided him and took down more fighters. Soon, the enemy forces heavily dwindled.
Wizengamot meeting room;
Harry and Sally faced Mordred in a final duel. Mordred kept insulting Harry and Sally's blood, calling them common. James was called a fool many times over.
However, for all his grandeur, he had nothing to show for it. It became clear that Harry and Sally were taking advantage of every little weakness.
“No!” he cried out but it was too late. The duel ended with Mordred's powers being bound.
the other side of the meeting room;
Neville and Beiyue fought Morgana. Morgana was easily defeated and tied up. Then a strange woman came out of nowhere. She was visibly furious.
"This is your family's fault! If that stupid foreigner had taken a hint, Henry and I wouldn't have gotten disowned!" the witch screamed. She turned to her children and spoke.
"Let Mummy take care of this." she declared. Harry froze while Sally narrowed her eyes. Beiyue spoke.
"Fine, we duel." she said. Her mom's sperm donor had started the whole business, it was only fair that she ended it. And end it, she did. Jane was nothing if not incompetent. She soon fell to the power of Beiyue and her skills.
“How unfortunate,” Beiyue teased before binding her powers.
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
Fawcetts manor, Britain, United Kingdom, Europe;
Huizhang, Sirius, and a couple of Aurors approached the remaining Fawcetts clan members with a magical restraining order.
"Stay away from us." Huizhang promptly declared. Ron and Ginny protested as they were prevented from arguing their case. The restraining order was magical in nature and prevented all blood Fawcetts from approaching
Harry and the Potters.
The Potters exercised restraint in not invoking a restraining order that would physically pain them to even speak their name.
The Fawcetts were left as public pariahs. Other rich wizarding families kept their distance and turned up their noses at them. Although they were still wealthy, in their opinion, wealth was nothing if you had nowhere to flaunt it.
the solar, Potter Manor, Brooklyn, New York City, New York, United States of America, North America;
The Potter clan met up. They collapsed in relief. It was finally over, the Fawcetts no longer could bother them.

"My job is fixing other worlds where Albus Dumbledore, Voldemort and many dark lords were allowed to run amuck." Harry explained.
His smile was large as he explained his new duties. While it was a major responsibility, Harry would not change a thing about it.

Harry had been dropped off in his first world. He went to do some recon. He quickly figured out that this was a world where Albus Dumbledore had his way and dropped his counterpart off with the Dursleys. He had heard about them from Magne. To say that they were unpleasant was an understatement . He quickly found his counterpart running away from a yelling man while a woman was floating away like a balloon.
"I'm leaving!" young Harry shouted. He dragged his trunk and promptly ran into the adult Harry. He looked up.
"Dad?" young Harry questioned.
"Close, but no." Avatar Harry replied. He looked around and spotted Sirius in dog
form.
"Come on, Sirius. We have places to be."
He helped his younger self with the trunk, and the trio made it to the Gringotts. Using his portkey, they were able to pass through the door.
Gringotts Bank;
The goblins were surprised when adult Harry appeared with his counterpart and Sirius.
"Hello, Sirius." a goblin greeted the animagus. Sirius transformed back and looked at the Avatar warily.
"I see Lady Magic and Lord Death sent you." King Ragnork noted.
"Yes, I'm their Avatar. I'm here to clean up Albus Dumbledore's mess. Helping them is just
a bonus." Harry answered.
"Did his parents leave a will?"
"They did," Ragnork nodded before producing a document. It was sealed in an envelope with a paper indicating it would require witnesses to its reading.
"My parents left a will?" young Harry was surprised.
"Of course they did!" Sirius huffed.
"Can you please have the wills read, I'm curious to know what their wishes were regarding Harry there. Did they really want him to be sent to the Dursleys?" Harry noted.
"What?! Young lord Potter was forbidden to go there. It's even stated in the will." the goblin manager was outraged. With Sirius as a witness, the
wills were brought out, and summons were sent out to Remus Lupin and Amelia Bones.
It became clear that Sirius and Remus were to raise the young wizard.

Hufflepuff house had front row seats to Ron, Hermione and Ginny being outed as Albus's spies when restraining orders were served via the Potters' solicitors. They had a permanent leash preventing them from going within 15 ft mile radius of Harry and his true friends. That was the main reason why Harry had gotten resorted, he could no longer stay in the same dorms as them. Draco Malfoy and Severus Snape also were served much to their fury.
