Shadow's Touch

Chapter Six:A Battle of Wills and Wits

*Ryou's POV*
   Seto has managed it, today is Monday, and we, all of the order and Shadows sit in this room with others close to the Potter's, including the Dursleys. Harry frigets and I take his hand, smiling reassuringly. Our minds crease each other lovingly. Seto stands near us, glaring at the strangers and muttering about leaches.
A goblin walks to the front and climbs up on a podium and clears his throat. "Welcome everyone. This evening, we will be listening to the Potter's last will and testament per the request of the Shadow court." He than pulls out a scroll and opens it. A image, much like a holographic recording appears of Harry's two parents. His Mom's sitting in a chair, in her arms is...Harry, as a baby, asleep.  Harry clutches my hand. "Hello, Harry. I'm assuming that if you are watching this, we are both dead. I know others are here, so I'll tell you all a mother wants to tell her son in the second scroll. The other two scrolls you'll get are just for you and those you wish to see them. One's just from me. The other's just your Daddy talking. Anyways, on with this willing." She takes a deep breath. "I, Lilly Kushuna Potter Nè Evens" "And I, James Al Potter" with sound body and mind here by give my last will and testament. To my dearest friend, even after all these years, give my forgiveness. Yes, Severus Snape, I forgive you. James, don't you have something to say?" James pouts, "Do I have to?" He whines, but at the harsh glare Lilly gives him, he gulps, "Look, sni-...Snape, I'm sorry I was a jerk ass, please forgive me. Take care of Harry. I know it will be hard, but you owe me, right? Just remember, kids do things, bad things, good things, but that doesn't define them. " Lilly smiles at whatever is recording them. "To Sirius, I leave the guardianship of little Harry. I wasn't sure this was that good of a choice, but the fact that Remmy can't take him with the laws, and that I really don't trust Molly, or Peter, and Sev can't do work tending to Harry, You're the only reasonable choice. If, for some reason, you can't, my sister and her family are not, under any circumstances to take him. I'd say over my dead body, but I'm, at this point, already dead!" James chuckles, "She does have a since of humor, though morbid. I leave you that place in Japan, the one we spent winter of our sixth year in. I know how you like it. Also, as of now, we leave evidence that you were not our secret keeper. Just in case that rat betrays us. We branded our keeper with a jink that went off the moment he told, on his left shoulder blade is now a tattoo of my dick!" Lilly hits him. "I tried to talk him out of it. I failed. I'm not responsible for James's actions. To Remus Lupin, we leave you that house in the Amazon rain forest and $30000. I know you will use it well. We also leave you half of the library. To my sister, we leave nothing. I highly doubt you even care. Goodbye. To Molly and her Husband, we leave 1000 and the hopes you'll leave our son alone. He will not marry one of your child, I already know. To Anila Bakura, I leave 20000. I hope our sons will continue to be such great friends. Maybe one day they'll marry." Both me and Harry are shocked. Our MOMS knew each other. "If you can't receive this, than we leave it to your son. To Dumbledor, we leave our old soaks. Have fun, you old goat. We know you're using us. If you put our son with my sister, I'll haunt you for all eternity! That slow ache you feel, that me beating the living shit out of you! Unable to sleep? I'm keeping you up! You will SUFFER!...If not...good boy. Bey! To our son, Harry, we leave all the rest. We love you, and we are proud of you." And it faded out.
I look to Harry who's drying his eyes and smiling at me. I blush brightly, shocked still at everything reviled to us by his mother. Harry stands, my hand in his, and jesters to the front. I get up and follow and we collect the other two scrolls and a key for a private room. "Siri, I want you with us." He calls out, than looks to Remus, "You too, Re." They hurry up and we four follow a Goblin, Griphoke to the private room, and take a seat, all close around Harry. Harry opens the first one, the one from his mom. Again, a hologram of her appears, smiling. "I'm sorry Harry, that I couldn't be there. I know it's hard on you. I KNOW you will need more. I-I'm a descendent of a Shadow Mage. My power awoke only after you were born, and I was scared that you'd be misunderstood with your powers as they are, as mine are. James doesn't really get it, but he loves us, so he's understanding. He knows we can't control it right. I'm scared Dumbledore will learn and he'll hurt you and Ryou. I don't want that. Ryou is a light, like me. But you, my beautiful baby boy, your a dark." She pauses to take a breath and wipe her eyes. "I don't really understand it, this magik that's old yet new to me, to this world. Please, honey, be safe. Please, don't lose heart in this time. I wish I could tell you more, everything, but it's hard. It's so hard to tell you everything I want. Like what you should and shouldn't do with Ryou as your love. Oh, yes, I know you two will get that close. So, if you ever make him made, give him roses and sweets and beg for his forgiveness. Also, this trick works on teachers too!" We giggle, this would be a long recording.
