Chapter 7 - Chapter 7: Open locket

Ted took the trio to the house in Twelve Grimmauld Place, the Tonks thought that said house was big enough so they could crash there for the night and rest, after all Narcissa needed it and Andromeda wanted to help as much as she could to her sister.

"Ted can you help me make a call?" Sirius asked before they entered the house.

"Yes Sirius" Said Ted as they went to one of the Red Telephone booths that was on the corner of the street. "Who are we calling?" He asked watching Sirius

"I don't know how to contact him, but I need you to find Bruce Wayne, CEO of Wayne Enterprises in Gotham City, United States." Sirius said reciting from memory

"And you said you have no phone number?" Ted asked him again

"No" Sirius replied

"Well it's not hard but not impossible, this could take a few minutes, hang on" Ted said as he began making calls.

After Sirius hanged up the phone he felt relief, he just didn't want to just disappear from the Wayne's lives, they had accepted Harry under their care and it would have been rude to just not inform them about it.

As he and Ted approached the house they began hearing a commotion, even with the added spells and notice-me-not spells it was obvious there was trouble inside. The duo rushed and as they entered they saw the house elf Dobby fighting with someone Sirius thought it was long dead over some trinket.

"Kreacher? You're alive?" Sirius asked more surprised than anything

"Kreacher doesn't speak to you blood traitor, bringing cast outs, metamorphi, muggles and weird elves." The elderly and bitter house elf said.

"Now listen to me, I AM your master NOW, Dobby and the other elves are here to make this place presentable, do you hear me?" Sirius said straight face and intensely at the crooked nosed elf.

The elf looked confused and angry.

"Now why Dobby and you were fighting?" Sirius asked

"Dobby felt dark magic Serious sir" The younger elf Dobby said with shame

"Where?" Sirius gently asked.

"In the locket Dobby tried to take from Kreacher sir" Dobby responded

"It's Master Regulus' locket, Kreacher protects it, Kreacher promised" The elf said

"What did you promised?" Sirius asked, he was intrigued, Regulus always tried to be the perfect son to their mother and Sirius still mourned the death of his brother not so long ago, which to him at least remains a mystery.

The elf remained silent

"What did you promised Kreacher? I'm your Lord and new master, I need to know if there's something potentially dangerous for me or my family" Sirius said once again.

"Master Regulus felt his life was ending, Master Regulus entrusted Kreacher to destroy the locket, Kreacher tried everything but the locket did not destroy, Kreacher failed" At this the elder elf began crying. Sirius was impressed of seeing Kreacher so vulnerable, he was even more impressed for what he did next.

"It's alright Kreacher" He said as he hugged the elf who was as shocked as everyone else "You didn't failed my brother, if dark magic resides here I have friends who can deal with it" Sirius said

"Is that right? Master Sirius?" Kreacher asked as his behavior shifted for a more lighter mood.

"Yes Kreacher, I'll call them in the morning, in the meantime don't loose sight of this locket alright?" Sirius said to the elf

"Yes Master Sirius" The elf responded

"And Dobby well done on realizing there was something off with that locket, can you show our guests their rooms?" Sirius asked

"Yes Master Sirius" Dobby happily said as he disappeared in a clank

Late in the night Sirius was walking through the house and reached out to the room in which Narcissa and Draco were staying. He stood in the door frame and saw that his cousin and nephew were sleeping in the bed, Narcissa's arms holding closing her son's body, she had suffered a lot and he wanted to help her any way he could.

His hatred was still there but he had made actions tonight that would ensure those he hated would be punished. He had taken care of Wormtail, he had taken care of Malfoy, that blonde imbecile would never receive support from his Death Eater pals without any funding. Now he needed to take care of Crouch, Bagnold, Fudge and Dumbledore, the latter being someone he thought he could trust so his refusal to give him a trial and sending him to Azkaban right away surprised him and angered.

The next morning the Tonks and the Black family were sitting having breakfast when Dobby entered the dining room.

"Lord Black, Dobby comes with word, your guests has arrive, do you want Dobby to bring them tea?" Dobby said

"Thank you Dobby, yes that would be nice" Sirius said.

Sirius and his family finished their breakfast and went to the living room to receive the recently arrived. Narcissa and the others weren't as impressed with a man in a suit with a stripe of white in his dark hair, an Italian man wearing a tuxedo, but the third man truly impressed them, a Golden armored man with an equally bright and golden helmet.

"Kent, Jason, Giovanni, nice to see you three" Sirius said to the men in front of him, he owed them his freedom but he thought and knew that they had made quick friendship.

"Good to see you Sirius, your elf told us you wanted to examine a dark magic on an object, let me guess a Horrocrux?" Dr. Fate spoke

"Yes, I believe so, because it also led to my brother's demise, so I want to be sure" Sirius confessed.

"Alright, bring it here" Dr. Fate said.

"Kreacher" Sirius spoke and the elf appeared with a crack

"You called Master Sirius?" The elf asked

"Yes, do you have the locket?" Sirius asked him

"Kreacher has it, Kreacher returns shortly" The elf said and in two cracks the elf returned showing a locket in his tiny hands. "Master Sirius will keep his promise?"

"Yes Kreacher, you haven't failed my brother" Sirius said which brought the elf to tears once again. Sirius gently patted the elf and took the locket from his hands to give it to Dr. Fate who made it float. Then after a few seconds the locket float down.

"The locket truly is a Horrocrux and it does contain a piece of Voldemort's soul" As Dr. Fate said the others winced as they heard the name. "We can repeat the process like we did to Harry"

"What do you say Kreacher, do you want the locket completely destroyed or do you want to keep it" Sirius asked the elf but noticed that Andi and Cissy mouthed "Harry?" to which he responded with a wink.

"The locket was master Regulus', Kreacher wants to keep it" The elf responded.

"Very well, separate the horrocrux from the locket" Sirius said to the trio who nodded.

Dr. Fate created a shield between the three of them and the living room, he looked at the locket and hissed at it, the locket opened but before it attacked any of the three men inside the shield Giovanni said.

"Xurcorroh evael tekcol!" Giovanni enchanted his wand and the dark ash smoke completely separated from the locket unto a crystal ball. Giovanni then nodded at the other man and Jason muttered.

"Gone, gone the form of man.

Rise the demon. ETRIGAN" Jason said clapping his hands together and before everyone present the man in the suit was surrounded by flames and in the same instant a yellowish demon appeared.

"So you summon me

Once again to clean

Evil forces here

The hellfire awaits thee" Etrigan said as he fire breathed the crystal ball destroying it completely once again leaving nothing.

"Done the did is

Gone, gone O Etrigan

Rise once more the form of man!" The demon was surrounded by fire once again and it emerged the man in a suit known as Jason Blood.

"I suppose that's everything" Jason said.

"Yes, but I believe that this isn't the last horrocrux from Voldemort" Dr. Fate said.

"Sirius, if I'm correct your cousin was very close to that stronzzo of Voldemort, wasn't she?" Giovanni asked

"Yes Giovanni, why?" Sirius asked

"Could she be keeping a horrocrux?" Giovanni asked

"It's a possibility" Sirius thought "I'd have to speak with Gringotts about it"

"I'm sorry but who are you? How do you know Harry? Where is he?" Andromeda stood forward.

Sirius looked at the trio and saw the three men nodding at him. Sirius sighed and began to retelling the story of the night the Potters were killed, his imprisonment and when he met the three wizards in front of the family. He then came to the most important moment in the history. He stopped and looked for the right words to say.

"Alright, look what I'm going to tell you is of extreme and complete secrecy, I'm going to ask you to vow to never, ever, reveal what I'm about to tell you, not to anyone outside this circle and least Dumbledore and the Ministry, they want something from the kid and I can't point it out exactly what, so vow it" Sirius said which made his family nod and they vowed with their wands, except Nymphadora who wasn't present on the "adults' meeting", she was sent upstairs to babysitting Draco.

"Harry Potter is alive, he is hidden with an ally of ours, he isn't even in Wizarding Britain, nor in Europe at all" Sirius revealed

"Who's this ally then? A powerful wizard in Africa? Australia? O some place in America?" Andromeda spoke, she was the oldest of the Black family and she had appreciated what the Potter had done for her younger cousin so she wanted to protect their infant son.

"America, more exactly United States" Sirius said which amazed everyone

"You're going to let Harry being in Ilvermorny?" Narcissa asked skeptical 

"I don't know, I'm not his father" Sirius responded

"But his parents went to Hogwarts" Andromeda said

"I know that Andi, but Harry is safe there, he is hidden with a new identity and the family that took him in is alright" Sirius said

"Only alright? Harry should be in wizarding Britain, with a proper pureblood family" Narcissa opposed "Oh by Merlin I sounded like my ex-husband" She regretted her choice of words

"It's the best way ma'am, I assure you that Nabu said he would be fine there" Dr. Fate interrupted.

"Who's that guy and what is he talking to?" Narcissa asked

"Yeah I think you didn't introduced us Siri" Andromeda said annoyed

"Right, well these guys are magicians, superheroes in the most practical way" Sirius said

"My name is Dr. Fate, I'm the Avatar host of the God entity known as Nabu, I protect the planet from magical or demonic threats" Dr. Fate explained

"If that's true then why didn't you helped us with He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Mention? Or why are you in company of a demon?" Andromeda asked pointing her finger at the golden armored man.

"Because as you in Britain were dealing with Voldemort I was in another dimension, dealing with a dark wizard named Mordru, I was able to vanished him to said dimension when I return here I felt the presence of Voldemort, I transported there but I was late, James and Lily Potter had dealt with him at the cost of their lives" Dr. Fate explained

"How convenient" Ted snickered

"If you don't believe us asked your friend Severus Snape" Dr. Fate responded looking at Narcissa

"Snivelius? What does he has to do with everything?"

"He's the one who found the Potters" Giovanni said

"What? Why? How?" Sirius asked

"He wanted to protect them" Dr. Fate said

"How possibly he could do that? And how could he know they were in danger?" Sirius demanded the answers

"Clearly your hate for the man is speaking, but please let me explain, he was a double spy for Dumbledore and Voldemort" Dr. Fate begin but rolled his eyes when he so the shiver in everyone's bodies when he said the name of the dark wizard. "He was there in Dumbledore's office when James, Lily, Frank and Alice Longbottom heard the prophecy from Sybil Trelawney, he had to tell Voldemort not knowing the dark wizard would took the words as true and would set for killing the Potters and the Longbottom" Dr. Fate said looking at Sirius who looked confused.

"I can't tell you what to think or feel Lord Black but you can begin with talking, I saw his soul that night and I believe that the love he feels for Lily can become a great weapon against Voldemort and his allies" Dr. Fate explained.

Sirius didn't knew what to think but Narcissa placed her hand on his shoulder and gave him a small smile which made him nod in resolution.

"Thank you Fate" Sirius said then Giovanni step to the front

"My name is Giovanni Zatara, I'm a magician who sometimes helps the Justice League, unlike Fate I don't protect the whole world but I did felt a disturbance Halloween night and that's where I found Dr. Fate as well" Giovanni explained which seemed to be accepted by the Black family

"And I am Jason Blood" Jason said but before he continued he was interrupted

"I knew I'd seen you before, you were the wizard claiming to be of the original Merlin Order who attended Sirius' trial" Narcissa said

"Yes ma'am, I'm an immortal curse to share the body of a demon" Jason said

"So you and that demon are the same person?" Andromeda asked

"Yes and no, we share the same body but at the same time we have completely different personalities, Etrigan lives to punish evil just like I did in the dark ages, that's the only thing we can agree on" Jason explained

"But how can you dominate him?" Narcissa asked truly impressed at the presence of a human who controlled a demon

"I don't control him, I invoke him in battle, he craves for it, for slaying his enemies, I just channel those feelings in the right moment" Jason explained.

"Impressive" Narcissa said looking at the man in a suit

"Yes impressive indeed, now, do you need anything else?" Sirius asked

"No, that would be all, we'll keep in touch Lord Black, use this" Dr. Fate said as he materialize an Ankh necklace "It will serve as a medium to speak directly to the Tower of Fate in case of an emergency" Dr. Fate explained

The three wizards nodded in farewell and disappeared the living room in a pure white lighted Ankh. Sirius pinched the bridge of his nose, he was getting tired of being involved in all of these situations.

Wayne Manor, Gotham City…

"Harry come back here!" The voice was heard all over the manor, billionaire playboy Bruce Wayne wasn't one to lose his marbles, but the butt naked wet and giggling toddler running around the manor was driving him crazy, he should've close the door during the boy's bath but it was a mistake he would never repeat ever again, but first of all he should catch the little boy.

Luckily the boy didn't ran for too long and was catch by a damped billionaire of a father. "Gotcha kiddo!" He said to the boy as he began making sounds on his belly making the boy's giggle to turn into full laughter. He was going towards the bathroom once again when a silhouette appeared behind him.

"Did I came at a wrong moment?" A female voice was heard. Bruce and Harry turned around to see the woman in front of them.
