Chapter Text
Cale stared at the sunset–his mind running with different thoughts as he held the letter in his hand.
A letter–In exchange for the help he received during the war with the hunters, the letter in his hand contained the favor requested by both the original Cale Henituse and the God of Death
He wasn’t told what he was supposed to do. Only that he would receive a letter with all the information and the task that he would have to do in order to do his part of the deal.
It took about a year to arrive–after settling the war, getting the Rowoon Kingdom to be established as an empire and surprisingly getting married to a man, Alver Crossman, who made his plans of having a slacker life pushed back.
The companions always teased him saying how the statement that “love” can make people do all sorts of things was true.
However, thankfully Alver didn’t make him do much of the task. He just sat there looking pretty while Alver did the job. Totally ignoring all his input and work he has been doing–which he claims is just to help him slack off.
“What’s the matter?”
Cale flinched slightly as he was brought to his senses. Relaxing after a while figuring out who it was.
“Nothing.”
Cale mumbled, patting the side of the swing bed motioning Alver to join him.
Alver followed the instruction–slowly pulling Cale towards him in the process as they cuddled while watching the sunset.
“Cale.”
Cale sighed internally knowing what that tone meant. He looked towards Alver–slowly shifting for a more comfortable position.
“When we fought against the hunters–” Cale paused as he felt Alver embrace him a little tighter. “--I made a deal with God of Death and Kim Rok Soo–The original Cale Henituse.”
Cale flinched a little as Alver held him tighter as if Cale would disappear if he didn’t hold on.
“What did you do? Cale, I swear if you sacrificed your life again–mmmpgh” Cale cut Alver off by shoving a cookie that he kept beside him to munch on while watching the scenario.
“Don’t talk nonsense. I would never sacrifice my life.” Cale scoffed, ignoring the look Alver directed towards him.
“Well, did you know there are continents and things like Earth in this world and the western and eastern continents are just hidden from the non-magical humans living there?” Cale asked as Alver slowly nodded his head.
“As part of the royalty, we are informed about it. Since the magical world of wixens, as they call it, would sometimes like to travel here–good for tourism.” Alver stated as he paused a little. “Though it's only some countries that come to visit since there are places where their magical laws are absurd and don’t wish for their citizens to know what they could have and what they actually got.”
Cale kept quiet for a while as he thought of something looking at Alver.
“What about the British wixens and their ministry?”
Alver scoffed at the name as he slowly started playing with Cale’s hair. “Those snobby bastards. They do think of themselves as a higher being yet they are far behind in magical development itself.”
“Is that so?”
“It is believed that it's due to cowardly ministers like Fudge and the interference of Albus Dumbledor and a dark wizard named Voldemort or something. Full on racist, anti-creature and superiority or power complex if you ask me.”
Cale snorted at the comment as he played with the letter.
“Do they have any power over us?” Cale asked as Alver observed him calmly. Sighing as he shook his head.
“There is a reason why two continents are kept hidden and untouched by their war or any power-related problems.” Alver started smiling a little. “We overpower them by numbers, not to mention the strength and cultivation we have are far more superior than theirs.”
Cale nodded his head a little. That was true. If White Star was to talk over them–they truly wouldn’t have lasted. After all, their war was inhumane.
“If I had to shake up the British ministry.” Cale paused as he saw Alvers look directed towards him. “I said if” Cale protested as Alver sighed urging him to continue.
“How much authority can I use with my title as the Empress of the Rowoon Empire or the hero of both the eastern and western continents?”
“You’re going to do something big there, aren’t you?”
Cale paused as he shook his head. Though he understood why, Alver thought that was why. After all, he despised using his title more than he needed to.
“Well, not necessarily. I’ll only find out once I am there.” Alver jolted up as he looked at Cale.
“What do you mean?”
“Well, about the deal–well the deal with the god of death was allowing myself to be his child and removing the blocks of magic that reside within me. That was why I spent a few hours with Eruhaben-nim trying to get hold of it. It’s also one of the reasons why my body is healthy.” Cale paused looking at Alver.
“And the deal with Kim Rok Soo?” Alver looked at Cale and then at the letter Cale was holding.
“He told me a letter would be sent to me explaining everything I would have to do. And I received it today.” Cale paused, handing it to Alver.
“It seems I have a nephew who is also my godson. Alive but being raised as a pig for slaughter.” Cale paused looking at the view in front. “He’s just a child.”
“Are you going to adopt him and bring him here?” Cale paused as he looked at the letter.
“I think there is more to it, since I got a letter from this Hogwarts school, saying I have gotten the position as the professor of Enchantments and dueling. And some sort of second head of one of the Hogwarts houses, which I would need to go through sorting hats for since each house is getting a new head of the house.” Cale paused as he played with the letter.
“I wonder how they managed to do this since nobody there really knows me?”
Alver gave Cale a stern look. “They do know you, Cale. You are my partner and a hero of both continents. The important figures there are going to lick your feet when they see you.”
Alver chuckled as Cale made a disgusted face.
“Anyways, do you know the name of your nephew?”
Cale shook his head. “It says they’ll give me information once I visit Gringotts. A bank run by goblins.
Alver nodded his head. “Well, it doesn’t look life threatening but..”
“I won’t take many people there,” Cale stated as he looked at the letter.
“Cale.”
“I will take Hans, Ron, Vicross and a few staff members,” Cale spoke as Alver looked at him sternly.
“Choi Han is teaching children at the Royal Academy. He looks like he is enjoying what he is doing. Rosalyn is busy with the magic tower. Hong, Ohn and Raon seem to enjoy their time studying at the royal academy. It’s also good for them to mix with kids their age. And Eruhaben-nim is looking over the creatures’ council.`` Cale spoke as he cuddled into Alver's chest.
“If I am in need of help, it would be just a communication orb away. We can teleport wherever for a reason if given coordinates.”
Alver sighed, caressing Cale’s back.
“Fine, Ron and Vicross are enough to handle those pests.” Causing Cale to chuckle.
“And I know, you’d sneak up there at times since you seem to have gotten a lot clinger than in the past.”
Alver scoffed at the remark as he nuzzled his face near Cale’s neck.
—-x—--
There were many things Harry Potter was unaware of. Many things that were hidden from him since childhood. Not that he didn’t wish to learn–but he was ordered to keep silent.
However, at that moment, Harry knew he screwed up. A Patronus charm in a muggle exhibit and in front of a muggle. Though he believes it was for a good reason.
Dementors.
After a traumatizing year at Hogwarts–where he not only witnessed his schoolmate’s death but was tortured for hours after the dark lord resurrected in front of him.
Something inside of him snapped during his encounter with Dementors.
He left Dudley at the spot–not caring about anything, while he grabbed all his belongings with him and made a run for it.
Ending him somehow in Gringotts, since the money he had was spent on the knight bus.
His body and mind were screaming at him. Half of it wanted him to write a message to his friends and Dumbledore about the mess he was in, while the other half was uncomfortable with the thought process since nobody contacted him and ignored all his letters throughout the summer.
“Hello.” Harry struggled as he watched the shape gaze of the goblin. “I wanted to have access to my vaults.”
The goblin looked at him sternly and back at the paper.
“Do you have your key?” Harry paused as he shook his head.
“Uh. I think it is with Dumbledore. I never got to keep my key with me.” Harry spoke fidgeting a little. “Is there a way to access it without the key? My name is Harry James Potter, sir.”
“Hmm.”
However, before Harry could add anything more to it. The goblins around started to rush as they sealed the door, stating the bank was closed for a few hours.
“Follow me, Heir Potter.” The goblin he spoke to instructed, as Harry did as follows–not knowing what was happening.
They entered a room as the goblins bowed down–while few in the center stood.
Harry watched the scene as he saw a beautiful red-haired male appear out of nowhere, followed by a few other people. While the red-haired male was dressed extravagantly, the other wore outfits like butlers and maids he once saw on a tv series his aunt Petunia was watching.
“Welcome to Gringotts, Empress Cale Henituse-Thames-Crossman. ” The goblin smiled brightly as Harry froze on the spot. “I am Sharpclaw, the King of Goblins in Britain. Thank you for answering our letter.”
The beautiful male–named Cale, nodded his head lightly with a smile and shook the goblin’s hand. “It is a pleasure to meet you as well.”
Then motioning his hand towards the butler-dressed guy who passed him an envelope.
“The letter states I will be required to do an inheritance test in order to receive keys, lord rings and information about my nephew?”
“Yes, Lord Thames.”
Cale then gave the letter back to the orange hair male as the white hair male passed a book.
“I see.” Cale nodded, opening his book. “While preparing for the trip, I did my own part of research,” Cale spoke slowly. “I am aware of my relatives from my father’s side. Which means my nephew must be from my mother’s side.”
The goblin smiled brighter, nodding their head.
“From my mother’s side, all the family members are dead or so I heard before checking the family tree,” Cale spoke slowly as he traced his fingers on a page in a book.
“My mother’s sister, Euphemia Potter nee Thames, was married to Flameont Charlus Potter. They only had one child, my first cousin, James Flameont Potter.”
While Harry felt he should not be listening to another’s personal business–he froze on the spot as he heard his father’s name.
“The line shows he had a child with his wife, Lily Jane Potter nee Evans. However, it seems somebody has locked their family magickin not allowing us to identify the child.”
Cale closed the book, passing the book back to the white hair male as Harry’s eyes widened.
“So with the information regarding my nephew, I would like to request you for suggestions of British laws and about lawyers.” Cale spoke as the goblins nodded their heads.
“We will do it after the inheritance test is fulfilled.” The Sharpclaw replied as Cale nodded his head.
“Please follow us.”
Harry didn’t know why he was being led to the same room as the beautiful-haired male. Or if he believes his Uncle who was left unaware of his existence. Now it was only The goblin king, the goblin who talked to him, him, his surprise maybe uncle, the orange hair butler, the white hair butler and a brown hair butler.
“Please place three blood drops here.”
The board lit up as the inheritance results were shown.

Harry froze on his spot as his mouth opened.
He wanted to say something, but nothing left his mouth. And to add confirmation his newfound uncle recited his name.
“Harry James Potter.”
“Lord Thames. Before discussing the information, I believe it is better to wait until the boy over there does his inheritance test as well.”
Harry stilled as he left the gaze of those people. In fact, he didn’t expect the gaze of his uncle to look at him curiously.
Do they not know Harry Potter?
“Messy hair and facial structure similar to that of James.” Cale muttered as their eyes met. “It was said Lily Potter had emerald green eyes.”
His eyes narrowed as Harry slowly walked forward–afraid about what he should say or do.
“Three drops of blood.”
The goblin spoke instead.

Harry stared at the board. As he continued staring for a while not believing the result. A part of him wanted to refuse the truth while another part of him felt betrayed.
“Hmm.”
Harry flinched as he looked at the legal guardian.
“I heard goblins were able to remove compulsions as well as blocks?” Cale asked as the goblins nodded their heads.
“Harry,” Cale spoke softly as Harry flinched a little. “I think it would be best if we have a conversation after you get cleansed?”
Harry nodded his head–yet halted as an envelope flew in front of him. Before he could say or anybody could react, the letter opened itself as it began to speak.
[Dear Mr. Potter,
We have received intelligence that you performed a Patronus Charm at twenty-three minutes past nine, this evening in a muggle-inhabited area and in the presence of a muggle.
The severity of this breach of the Decree for the Reasonable Restriction of Underaged Sorcery has resulted in your expulsion from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. A Ministry representative will be calling your place of residence shortly to destroy your wand.
As you have already received an official warning from a previous offence under Section 13 of the International Confederation of Warlocks statute of Secrecy, we regret to inform you that your presence is required at a disciplinary hearing at the Magic Ministry at 9 on the twelfth of August.
Hoping for you all well.
Yours sincerely
Mafalda Hopkirk
Improper use of Magic office Ministry of Magic.]
Harry froze for a while as he quickly turned towards Cale.
“I did not!” Harry yelled as he paused as his body started to shake. “I mean I did perform it but I did it because dementors came after my cousin and me. It’s not– I mean.”
Harry wanted to tell how unfair it was. Scream out in frustration–yet as he looked at Cale, his new guardian only looked at him calmly.
“Harry.” He spoke softly. While Harry clenched his hands, his eyes closed frustrated as he was ready to hear how disappointed his guardian was of him even though it was the first time meeting.
Everybody was like this.
Nobody believed him and nobody cared. Even Sirius who was supposed to be his godfather didn’t say a word to him the whole summer!
“Do you have a lawyer?”
“Huh?”
Harry looked at Cale confused, not expecting the question.
“Go get cleansed, first. Don’t worry about other things, I’ll handle it.”
Harry’s eyes widened as he froze.
“Why would you? We just met.”
Cale tapped the table allowing the orange hair male to talk with the goblins behind as Cale looked at him.
“I’m your guardian, Harry. Whether we met right now or a few years ago, you are my responsibility.” Harry wanted to yell at him-saying if he was his responsibility where he was his whole life?
“Though I was kept unaware about the situation.” Cale paused, examining him. “I’ll make sure to figure out who caused this interference and make sure you are healthy.”
Harry paused as he slowly suppressed his anger towards the beautiful male in front of him.
Right. He didn’t know.
Harry looked at Cale and then towards the goblin.
If he had known before, would I have had a proper life as well?
Shaking his head a little, he moved towards the goblin, following the instructions as he was soon met with darkness.
—x—
Cale clicked his tongue as he looked at the paper.
“Ron.”
“Yes, my Lord.”
Cale looked at the goblins who were observing him then back at the paper.
“Contact Jack. Ask if he can send a healer here quickly. Tell him it is an emergency.”
Though Cale knew there was a hospital and magical treatment. He wasn’t sure where this Albus Dumbledore or Voldemort’s connections spread through. It was apparent that even though a few injured were healed, they were treated horribly.
He had no trust in these people to look over the child for now.
For the Horcrux, Cale massaged his temples as he looked at the paper.
“Fucking God of Death.”
He now knew the reason why his magical core and everything was needed for this deal.
He then turned towards the goblin. “How long till Harry is conscious?”
“It will take about a day or two. His abilities would require to settle within him.”
Cale nodded his head as he tapped the table.
“First let’s begin with the lordship ring. I’ll need to send my people to the palace so that Harry has a place to stay after this.” Cale spoke as Sharpclaw nodded his head with a smile as he motioned the other goblin to bring the rings.
“These are the lord rings. I believe you should wear the empress ring first followed by Thames. Soon these rings will merge. It will come out when needed.”
The goblins explained as Cale nodded his head doing as follows.
After the process was done Cale looked at his fingers as he observed the magic slowly surrounding him.
“With the cost of all this work. From the Henituse vault, we’ll be donating 10,000 gallons to the goblins.” Cale spoke as he watched the goblins smile brighter. Cale knows very well how to handle greedy people and make his way work.
“I need to run some errands while the treatment takes place. I believe there will be no interference while I am gone and he will be well protected here?”
ShapeClaw smiled brightly.
“In the name of our goblin nation, we will protect Heir Potter. No one outside unless it is Lord Thames will be granted access to meet Heir Potter.”
Cale smiled. “I’m glad. I look forward to our other interactions.”
After all, money is the best.
Cale smiled internally standing up as he walked out.
—x—-
Harry groaned a little–blinking a couple of times as he stared at the ceiling above.
“Ah, Heir Potter. It seems you are awake.”
Harry blinked and blinked again, soon jolting as he recalled the events that happened. His head felt as little light as he looked around trying to find somebody. However, he flinched as the room opened.
“Harry.” Harry looked towards the voice seeing the beautiful red hair guardian as his body slowly started to relax.
“This is Jack. He is a saint from the sun god temple. hmm,” Cale paused and he clicked his tongue. “There are a few things we’ll need to inform you about. It would be long. So, just think of him as a healer who would heal your body.”
Harry nodded his head as he looked at the beautiful blonde hair male. He paused for a while as his eyes looked towards Cale, his people and the new person. Why is everybody walking next to him so good looking? The man slowly yet cautiously walked towards him with a warm smile.
“It won’t hurt, I promise.” He spoke softly as Harry only stared for a while, as he nodded his head to allow the man to do his work.
A light flashed through the palms of the healer, and Harry saw it slowly engulfing him. Soon his body started to feel lighter as the healer smiled at him moving towards Cale.
“Cale-nim, his scar.” Cale nodded at him looking at Harry for a while and then back at Jack.
“I know. I have contacted the God of Death. He’s doing errands for me to find books about it.”
Harry looked at them shocked as he blurted out without thinking, “You are making a god work for you?”
Cale only smiled at the comment as Jack chuckled a little at the side. “You’ll get used to the abnormalities that happen around Cale since I heard he is your guardian.”
Harry closed his mouth for a while as his eyes opened wide. “And I thought it only happened around me.”
Cale smiled widely looking at Harry as a smirk formed. “I guess it runs in the family.”
Family.
Harry froze at the word as he stared at the beautiful red-haired male. He never really experienced what family really meant. While he did love his friends and all the people who looked out for him. He felt like an outsider.
Not to mention after the truth he found out during his inheritance test–he wondered if he had a family to begin with.
“Are we really?”
“If you want to.”
Harry looked up as he watched Cale’s watchful eyes.
“It seems you have another godfather as well, Sirius Black, was it?” Cale spoke looking at the document. “It says he was illegally imprisoned. So, I did a little research.”
Harry gulped as he watched Cale.
“It seems he wasn’t given a trial. The ministry never found the body of Peter Pettigrew, only his cut off finger.”
Cale tapped the table on the side as he looked at Jack. “I believe a person can live without one finger?” Jack nodded his head at the statement as Cale looked at him.
“Seeing he ran away from prison a few years ago. And made an appearance in Hogwarts, I believe he met you?”
Harry flinched at the remark as Cale nodded his head.
“I can help your godfather clear his name.” Cale paused, placing the papers on the table. “If you wish to, you can stay with Sirius Black as your guardian after that.”
“I can?”
Harry could feel Cale observing him as he nodded.
“I wouldn’t force you to live with me. By the looks of the situation, I believe you are in a way attached to your godfather.” Cale paused picking up another set of paper. “Though” Harry tensed looking at Cale. “I’ll first be sending him to a mind healer.”
“Why?”
Harry suddenly felt dumb asking the question.
“After years of imprisonment with creatures such as dementors. It is likely he isn’t mentally healthy. It would be careless of me to leave you in his hands like that.”
Harry nodded his head at the statement as Cale looked at Jack.
“Thank you for coming here on an urgent notice.” Cale spoke, holding his hand out to Jack who smiled back shaking Cale’s hand.
“I’ll be on my way then Cale-nim.”
Harry watched the blonde hair male leave the room, as the white hair butler he saw came inside with the goblins.
“Right. Harry.”
Harry looked at Cale who motioned the white hair butler to come closer.
“Harry, this is Ron, my personal butler.”
“Butler? Don’t you have house elves?”
Harry blurted, watching Cale closely.
“We don’t have house elves in the eastern or western continents.” Cale spoke pausing. “While it is in the stage of development, it rules differently.”
“Oh!” Harry let out remembering how Cale was a royalty. “Is it like a fantasy book?”
“Yes.” Cale paused for a while looking at Harry. “While we did close borders for a few wizarding worlds, which includes the British wizarding world, for now.”
Cale tapped the pouch on his waist and smiled. “For winter break, if you like, I can take you and a few people you want to my home?”
“I can do that?”
Nobody took Harry anywhere. Maybe once when the world cup happened-but the trip had been cut short due to the death eaters raid.
Harry didn’t have a proper trip or sightseeing–not that he didn’t want to.
“Yes. It’s a holiday where you’re supposed to have fun. I am your guardian, I am allowed to take you anywhere you like.”
Harry stared at Cale and continued staring for a while as he slowly nodded his head. “Okay.”
“Now, let’s get you your heir ring.”
“Heir ring?”
Cale looked at Harry for a while, as if he was reading him.
“Harry, did anybody teach you about the wizarding world?”
Harry’s eyes widened as he looked at Cale. Nobody asked him these questions. Mostly–no, everybody expected him to know things about the wizarding system.
“I- I mean... I do know some facts.” Harry trailed as Cale motioned his hand to stop him.
“Don’t worry. Since it is August…” Cale paused taping the table. “This month I’ll teach you the basics about the wizarding world and the noble society. And while you are at Hogwarts, I can teach you other things if you want.”
“At Hogwarts?” Harry asked as his eyes widened.
“I got a letter asking me to be the professor for enchantments and dueling classes. Plus asked to be the second head of one of the houses.” Cale explained, causing Harry to widen his eyes.
“Do we have those classes? Wait.. second head of one of the houses?”
Harry knew he was asking a lot of questions, but he couldn’t stop. Not when he was finally getting his answers.
“It stated that due to problems that arose in the past few years at Hogwarts, the head of the houses didn’t have much time to look after their houses with much work?” Cale paused tapping his chin. “They stated all the houses would get an additional head of the house, just in case.”
“What house are you going to be in?” Harry questioned looking at his feet.
“I’m not sure how the sorting hat is going to place the professors. However, from the information I read with characteristics of each house, I believe I would land on Slytherin.”
Harry froze at the house’s name for a while. However, may it be that his compulsions and blocks had been removed, the hatred he had, had dimmed a little.
“I’m in Gryffindor.” Harry spoke. Soon while he thought of his house, Harry tried to think why he thought so greatly of his house before. While he did make friends with Ron and Hermione, went on adventures and risked his life many times, when he really needed somebody to lean on, nobody was there.
It was because he was Harry Potter.
“Hmm, are you happy there?”
Harry froze at the question as he looked at Cale. He wanted to say something, but words couldn’t properly form.
“I don’t know.”
Cale kept quiet for a while as he nodded his head. “That's alright then. The ministry this year is interfering in the Hogwarts affair, so I was told everybody will go through the sorting hat once again.”
Harry’s eyes widened at the statement. Resorting? He didn’t think that could happen.
“If you dislike your house, you now have a choice to resort into another house.”
“But my parents…”
“Harry, you are you, and your parents are their own person. I am not saying you can’t follow in their footsteps. However, it’s better to look at what makes you happy and what doesn’t.”
Harry’s eyes widened at the statement as he looked at his feet. “I’ll think about it.”
Cale nodded his head as Harry felt Cale’s hands slowly pat his head. Harry didn’t say anything–letting Cale pat his head more.
It wasn’t that he disliked it. Rather he liked it very much. It made him feel warm. Nobody ever cared for him like this. It was new for Harry.
And though it felt a little awkward from the inside, he was okay with it. He would never refuse such care, knowing deeply that he didn’t deserve to be cared for in such a way.
