The Epic of Leviathan (A Mutant's Ascension)

[POV Sirius]

I am worried… I am really worried about my godson. I don't know what, but I am quite sure that both Edgar and Amelia are hiding quite a lot from me regarding my godson… I fucked up in 1981 when the tragedy struck and I decided to chase after that traitor but I don't want to fuck this up again… ​​

Both Amelia and Edgar are sure that Harry was entered in the tournament because of that Snake face's machinations… even I myself agree with that. So, after wracking my brain a lot, I failed to come up with any plan regarding how to deal with this matter. So, I finally decided to suck it up and get myself a meeting with Edgar… outside Hogwarts.

I was brought out of my musings by a knock on the door. I got up and opened the door to find Edgar along with a hotel staff. After showing the room the hotel staff who brought Edgar here left after bowing. Edgar didn't say anything and entered the room… I was about to start firing off questions but he stopped me by shushing. Edgar pulled out his wand and casted a few spells… must be privacy wards and stuff.

"So… Sirius? Why the sudden need to arrange a meeting like this? In a mundane hotel of all things?" Edgar asked me walking up to the balcony looking at the view… We were on the 20th floor so the view was quite good.

"I needed to speak to you about something" Finally I gathered my wits and spoke to him. I don't know why… this conversation is making me feel really nervous.

"Please don't tell me that you have awoken certain special taste and your preferences changed… Amelia would be heartbroken" Edgar spoke in an innocent voice.

I choked on my own spit hearing him… doesn't he know who I am. I am Sirius Black… wet dream of witches, the most handsome Marauder, in Hogwarts witches would get wet after looking at my sleek black hair. I wanted to speak all these things to him but because of some reason, I was unable to… I just kept staring at him like a fool while gaping like a fish.

"Its not that you bastard!" I was finally able to say something and this is what I said? James would be ashamed of me. "Its about Harry! I want to know what are you planning to do with him?" I finally gathered all my thoughts and asked him, after all this was the reason I called him here…

"Nothing at the moment… Currently I don't have any leads on what No Nose is planning" Edgar said nonchalantly. This angered me even more… there is no way he has no idea about what the Snake Face is planning… its quite clear now that he simply doesn't want to tell me. I immediately whipped out my wand and pointed at him.

I am really grateful to Edgar for saving me from that Hellhole and saving Harry from that wretched place too but it is clear that he is playing games now. I may not be the smartest wizard out there but I am good enough to know that there is something going on… I can't take the risk now… I have lost James and Lily because of my stupidity. I allowed Harry to be tortured by those monsters… I don't know what Edgar is planning but I will be damned if I allow any harm to befall on my godson again… I would do right by James and Lily.

"Tell me! I know you have plans for Harry! Don't make me don't anything I would regret! You are my benefactor… Harry's too but if you are danger to Harry I won't hold back!" I threatened him but it didn't seem like it worked… he is looking at me with amusement in his eyes.

"What are you going to do with that Sirius? Fire a stunner at me? That is the best you could do after all… or are you going to curse me? Or are you going to try Legilimency?" Edgar spoke with amusement and mirth in his voice. Hearing his provocation… I almost shot a stunner at him… he is really good at pushing my buttons. He still thinks that this is a joke! Now, that I think of it, I might have acted on my impulses again.

I am pointing my wand not on a simple 4th year Hogwarts student but Magneto. Of course, he is amused to see me threatening him.

"Sirius… its good that you understood that you acted on your impulses, again. No wonder the Hat put you in the Lion's den… but did you truly think that you could beat the plans out of me? I am disappointed in you Sirius" Edgar said in a condescending tone. Even though I should be getting more angry… I didn't. Throughout this whole day… I finally decided to think… I am in no position now to jump into the situation like a Typical Gryffydor. Damn it!

I finally lowered my wand and looked at Edgar who was still amused. "So, you won't tell me what are your plans for my godson?" I said in a defeated tone. There was no way I can force them out of him… because it's simple I can't defeat him. I can't use politics with him… I have seen how he and Vicky play around with those fools in the Wizengamot.

"I never said I wouldn't tell you… I said I currently don't have any plans because there is no need to plan anything… at least not anymore. We are already in the endgame now" Edgar said with a huge grin on his face… his smile was quite gentle but the words he spoke… I don't like it, it sent several chills down my spine.

"Tell me Sirius… you have heard the prophecy, right? Amelia had shown you, right? Then tell me is Harry ready to kill the dark Lord?" Edgar asked me in a mocking tone. I was about to protest that it wasn't Harry's job to do… truthfully, I never held faith in Divination but I decided to think more clearly… ok, if I think that the Prophecy is in play and only Harry can kill Snake Face then I am sure that Harry isn't ready to kill him.

"You see… that is the reason I decided to not to involve you in any of the plans. I have told you long ago… train Harry, but what did you do? Play around, who can use more non-lethal spells than the other, right? I am not saying that Harry needs to learn dark magic or something… I can kill you hundred ways with only light spells… but Harry didn't have any dueling experience before he started to train with Dora" Edgar spoke while turning away from me… I just didn't want to put pressure on Harry… Damn it! Harry is a kid… he should have a childhood!

"Sirius you don't have to worry… I will beat up Wankermort until he is unable to move… Harry will only have to kill the Snake Face… nothing more. Now, please… don't plan to run away… I could find Harry and you in just a day" Edgar said and walked out of the room. I really had to hold myself back from cursing on his back and running away with Harry… but running away. Isn't that what I did when I was in my 6th year… if I didn't run away Reggie… my little brother won't have to join the Death Eaters.

But… what about Harry? I think it would be best if I ask Harry what he wants to do. I am really being selfish just thinking about Harry… its quite true that Snake Face believes in the Prophecy and he would never stop looking for Harry… all the Horcruxes made by that monster are destroyed and there is a chance that he will make more if he checks them and finds them destroyed. Now, that I think of it… Harry wanted to train but I always put it off saying that he was still a kid… Edgar, he is a kid too… he is sacrificing a lot more and done a lot to end the terror of Voldemort.

That's it! I will ask Harry what he wants to do… he should take this decision on his own. If he chooses to fight then I will stay and if he wants to run away then we would do that… I have no doubt that Edgar would find me and useless friendly means to use Harry but I will still try. With that thought, I also left the room.

After checking out I walked into a dark alley and apparated back to Hogsmeade. I sent a Patronus message to Harry asking him to meet me at Madam Rosmerta's. Harry arrived after half an hour wrapped around in James' invisibility cloak.

I quickly took him to a room I have already booked. Getting him inside… I casted a few privacy spells from the time I was in the Auror force.

"Sirius what's the matter?" Harry asked me in a worried tone. After contemplating for a few moments, I began to tell him everything I did today. He scolded me for picking up a fight with Edgar… now, that I think of it, it was really stupid. Stupid Gryffydor quirks…

"So, what do you want to do? No pressure, whatever you decided I will help you" I said with a sincere voice.

"...Then, I will fight him, if Moldyshorts comes back then he would never stop chasing after me… I have to live my whole life looking behind me, in case the Dark Tosser or Edgar finds me. Let's go and talk to Edgar" Harry said with a determined voice… I guess we are fighting then…
