Sirius and the rest of the instructors chuckled as they watched the three young men’s eyes nearly bulge completely out of their sockets.

Sirius looked to the twins. "This is going to be hard work. So if you can’t do this say so now, and I will get you back home."
The twins looked at each other for long moments. They then turned to Sirius and said "We’re in." They had watched as Harry breathed a sigh of relief.
Sirius turned his full attention to his godson. "Harry the witches that will be performing the ritual that Natasha discussed with you prior to you coming here, are waiting in the room that we will be using for our extended healing. It’s time pup." Sirius gave a gentle squeeze to Harry’s left shoulder.
Harry nodded his head. "I’m ready...I think." Harry followed Natasha and Sirius up the staircase to a very nice large bedroom with two queen sized beds. The walls were done in soft blue with cream accents along the corners and the large patio door that overlooked the garden. He noticed the women surrounding one of the ...
Natasha placed a hand on Harry’s shoulder and turned him to face her. "Harry. These ladies are members of a coven called The Divine Coven of the Lady Eir. All of them follow the old ways, but they also incorporate the new magicks. In this ritual, we will be cleansing the soul piece from your head first. After that, I w...
Natasha motioned for an olive skinned woman, with dark black, bone straight shoulder length hair and hazel eyes over to them.
"This is Lauren. She has a point she wishes to bring up with you and your mates. And Sirius of course." Natasha looked to the other woman and nodded for her to speak. "Lauren?"
"While the soul piece may give your enemy a connection to you, it may also give you information on his movements, thoughts and ideas. I am a Healer yes, but I have also been a soldier. If you could train your mind to channel only what benefits you, then this could be a tactical advantage." Lauren waited for the young o...
Harry didn’t hesitate to get his point across. "I want to say this clearly. I. Want. It. Gone!" Harry pointed to his scar. "This evil thing has been nothing but trouble. I want him out of my damn head! My mind should be my own and not influenced by some psychopath." Fred and George on either side of him, held him tight...
"Thank you Lauren, for your suggestion. However I agree with my godson. He is only fourteen years old and he should not bear this burden." Sirius said firmly.
"I understand Sirius, I just wanted to give you options." She turned to Harry. "You are a brave young man. Let’s go kick the sorry bastard’s ass." She winked at Harry and returned to her previous position.
Natasha straightened up her spine in a preemptive strike posture. From what she knew of Sirius, this was not going to end well. His temper was not that great to begin with she was sure, but those foul beasts he was forced to be around while he was in that prison had done a serious number on his mindscape.
He had seen the immediate aftermath of the beating Harry had taken from that filth known as the uncle, but she doubted that he had seen the more "permanent’ scarring. "Harry. I need you to drop the glamours, and strip down to your underwear for us to begin."
Harry complied with his eyes fixed on the floor. He was beginning to come to terms with his abuse, but it still embarrassed him to have people see his body. The only people in the room were Sirius, the twins, the coven, and Natasha.
When Harry dropped the glamours, there was a huge gasp of horror. Even from Sirius who had not seen the full extent of the abuse.
Harry had words carved into his skin. "Freak, useless, nobody, just die.’ His right eye sagged a little from what looked like an infection of some sort that didn’t heal properly. There were cuts everywhere and...Sirius saw red.
Fred and George braced Harry on both sides and held his hands, attempting to show him their support. But Sirius couldn’t see past his rage. He did not pay attention to the shame and hurt on his godson’s face. He was too livid to have a rational thought and got into George’s face, as he was the closest of the two.
"You son of a bitch! You kept your word to Harry sure, but not to tell anyone about this?! I swear to fucking Merlin I will..." What he was about to say was cut off with a yelp, as Natasha had grabbed him by the collar of his shirt and flung him across the room into a large over stuffed chair. All with minimal effort. ...
The rest of the women were glaring daggers at him. He knew he was screwed. It was in their nature to see to the child first. However testosterone, tended to sometimes make the most level headed male want to hit something first.
"I will say this one time Sirius Black." Natasha began heatedly. Oh she was pissed. Her "nephew’ was in pain, and she could kill Black right now. She wouldn’t, but she would threaten him just the same.
"Do not make the mistake of scaring Harry again in the fashion that you just did." She used her head to indicate where Harry was behind them. Harry was standing with a look of sad determination. Tears were slowly streaming down his cheeks. In a display of powerful accidental magic, he had his right arm straight out in ...
Natasha had put up a privacy bubble. "I know you are upset. I want to rip the spleen out of his so called relatives through their noses, but you will calm down right now or I will throw you out on your ass during this process. The boy needs your love and support. He does not need to see the anger that you have about hi...
Sirius was ashamed of himself. He knew that he had a temper, and he thought that he had worked on it. But he was still a big bundle of impulse acting on instinct, instead of facts as usual. Natasha was right. Harry didn’t need this side of Sirius right now. He needed his love and support. Sirius looked into the eyes of...
Natasha’s eyes softened and she placed a hand on his shoulder. "That you did you jerk. You need to learn to control your emotions Sirius, or they can cost you dearly. Now get your ass over there, and hug him. Let him know that all is well and that you still love him."
Sirius nodded and stood from the chair that Natasha had "placed’ him in and made his way over to his godson, who had not lowered his shield. But instead of addressing Harry, he turned his focus to George. "I apologize for my behavior." Sirius shook his head sadly. "My temper is famous I’m afraid. Actually, the Black te...
"Er...right. The point is, that I was wrong. I can’t promise not to blow my top from time to time. But I swear to you; unless you hurt my pup here, you have nothing to fear from me." Sirius waited. He would have tried to shake George’s hand but the shield was still up.
Sirius found himself staring into those green, almost glowing eyes.
Harry slowly lowered his hand while looking at the man who he saw as a father figure of sorts. Tears shining brightly in his eyes. "There is nothing I would love more than for us to to be a family. But please don’t make the mistake of thinking that I won’t protect them if I can." Harry locked his eyes with Sirius’.
"Even from you." Harry’s eyes went hard at the last statement.
Sirius fell to his knees in front of Harry and grabbed his hands while looking into his eyes. "Oh pup please never fear me. I’m...I’m not right I know. I have a temper yes, but I will never hurt you. I may yell and scream at frik and frak, but I won’t put my hands on them, unless it’s in self defense or immediate defen...
Harry helped Sirius to stand and grabbed him in a fierce hug. "We will get help Sirius. For the both of us."
Fred and George looked at each other and then looked at Natasha. Natasha nodded her head and placed her hand on Sirius’ shoulder. "It’s time Sirius."
The two men separated. Natasha led Harry over to the first bed and had Harry sit down. "Harry. I need to take a peak into your mind." Once again she knew what He would do,
"Wait what? You want to use Legilimency on him?" Sirius asked.
Natasha took a deep breath to calm her temper. She stood to face Sirius. "Sirius do you trust me?"
"Of course I do. We wouldn’t be..."
"Do you trust Caleb?"
Sirius narrowed his eyes. "With my life."
"Then trust Caleb to send someone whom he also trusts with his life to help his kin." Natasha stared Sirius down.
"Oh alright." Sirius said in a huff and folded his arms. Harry snorted.
Natasha turned back to Harry. "I want you to relax." Natasha’s voice turned deeper and smoother. "Find your calm place inside of your mind. The place that Caleb told you would be the center of your kavina. The place where your mind and your magic come together as one." Natasha felt him slowly begin to relax, and procee...
Harry closed his eyes and tried to focus. Caleb had taught him in the brief time that he had been at the village how to meditate, and it did wonders for his nightmares. He still had a long way to go, but it was eons better than he was when he began.
Attempting a mind walk could be painful on one who had no training in mind protection. If you could get the subject to stay at their focal point, you minimize the pain.
As Natasha entered his mind, she ignored the memories in front of her as they may distract her concentration. Plus looking at them would be an invasion of privacy. She was looking for something very specific. The mind when by itself has a uniform color. When possessed in some fashion, the possession is not the same col...
Natasha went to the area that did not solely belong to Harry. She could sense the evil coming off of this...thing.
Natasha stopped in front of it. "Leave this place now."
The soul piece of Voldemort was strong. I do not fear you beast!
"No. I’m sure you don’t. And for the record, you waste of space, the name is Natasha. Now. I am here to have a little chat." She made sure her shields were intact and stepped closer. "Look. I’m suurre there is some reason why you’re a dick. You probably didn’t get enough hugs or some bullshit like that, but I don’t hav...
You are attempting to kill me are you not beast?
"Ugh. Spare me your British "pure blood" idiocy. I do not have much time. I’m just here to find out what makes you tick I suppose you could say. You see I love..."
There was an unholy scream, and she could feel Harry start to panic. She needed to end this soon.
"Ahh so it’s love is it? Well thanks for the information, but I must be going. I have many things to accomplish today." Natasha began to withdraw from Harry’s mind, when something latched onto her throat and tried to strangle her. She thought about her love for Caleb and New Hope. Her love for Harry and his quiet inner...
The force holding onto her let her go, and screamed. Natasha didn’t waste anytime and flew from Harry’s mind.
Everyone watched as Natasha scrambled on the floor away from Harry across the room and leaned against a dresser, clutching her throat.
She noticed Harry writhing on the bed, with Sirius at his side trying to calm him.
"It’s...love." Natasha said in between gasps. "Do...it...now."
"Agreed." called out Lauren "Stasis spell now. It will help to keep the rest of his body still. If he continues to thrash around, he could hurt himself."
Sirius rushed to comply.
"Corina. Get the calming potion and spell it into his stomach." Called out Lauren.
George was helping Natasha to stand. "What’s going on?" He asked.
"We’re out of time. When I was speaking with it, I was able to scan it’s thoughts. It sensed that I was there to help destroy it." Natasha looked to Sirius. "It is going to attempt a full possession."
"NO!" Sirius roared and fell to his knees. "Help him please!"
"I will. Fred, George help Sirius up and stay in the corner until I call for you." Lauren said. "Ladies get into position. Natasha you remember your role?"
"Ensure it is contained and then destroyed. Got it."
The seven witches and one vampire gathered around the bed, that was now Harry’s.
Lauren made eye contact with Haley and gave a miniscule nod. Then she turned to the males in the room. She took her wand and summoned theirs, while Haley placed a barrier between them and the ritual. Naturally, the men panicked and began to shout and try to break the barrier down.
"We can not have you interfere. But you can help us all the same. Project all of the love that you have for him. Any happy times he has had with others. When I tell you to, hold onto each other and project those feelings. This vile beast cannot handle love, and the power of it will force the spirit to flee. Don’t worry...
Sirius just stared at her. "Be sure that you do." As the stare off ended, the ritual began.
"I am Lauren. Daughter of Mariss. I call upon the spirit of my mother to help protect this child." She sliced her palm. She then took the blood and drew ancient ruins to his forehead. She passed the knife to her left.
"I am Corina. Daughter of Linda. I call upon the spirit of my mother to help protect this child."
"I am Clara. Daughter of Francess. I call upon the spirit of my mother to help protect this child."
"I am Shakina. Daughter of Fiona. I call upon the spirit of my mother to help protect this child."
"I am Victoria. Daughter Lucinda. I call upon the spirit of my mother to help protect this child."
"I am Felicia. Daughter of Connie. I call upon the spirit of my mother to help protect this child."
"I am Haley. Daughter of Antonia. I call upon the spirit of my mother to help protect this child."
After the last woman had drawn the ruin in her blood, the knife was placed in the center of Harry’s chest.
The magic was swirling in the room. The curtains were billowing about as the pictures rattled on the walls.
The women began chanting in a language that Sirius couldn’t hear very well. Sirius looked at the two men with him. They were clinging to each other for dear life
"We need to focus gentlemen. Gather all of our thoughts and feelings for him. I know that you love him, so I need you to focus. Draw on your strengths, because I know that you two have strength enough to handle this. Given that we can’t be out there." Sirius gestured past the field holding them in. "He needs, us so pul...
The twins looked at each other.
"For Harry." They said together. The men turned their full attention onto the ritual. Pouring all of their feelings of love into their magic, and all three held hands.
Suddenly they could see formations appear behind the seven witches. Ghosts of women whom Sirius assumed had been the mothers that where called upon. Each mother went to their daughters, and placed a hand on the right shoulder. It was at this point, that Harry began to start convulsing.
"I am Mariss, Daughter of Eleanor, Fourth High witch of the Coven. Ladies we are gathered here to save this child from the evil within him. I call upon the Goddess for her blessing. Give us the gift of a mother’s love to save this son of magic."
A ball of pure light came down from the ceiling. It began to take the shape of a woman that Sirius had not seen in a long time.
