Summary: Two months after the curse was lifted, Nova was enjoying life and getting to know her soulmate. Everyone around her was happy and content with their lives. It all changed when the wizarding world decided to rear it's ugly head with Dumbledore securing a meeting with Nova. Now, Nova is brought back into the world that she'd been hidden from with not only her life and happiness on the line, but the lives of those she cared for.

Onto the story!

Nova fiddled with the bracelet she was wearing for the third time in the last ten minutes. They had just a little under five minutes before the meeting was due to start and Dumbledore hadn't arrived just yet. They'd been given a notice that Dumbledore had arrived with a few others about ten minutes ago which meant the bank employees led by Naru were ensuring only two of his followers were allowed in. Considering her orders and who Dumbledore likely brought with him, Naru was ensuring that Severus Snape would not be one of those to accompany the old goat to the meeting. Thanks to a few special charms laced through the meeting room and some wards, none of the English magicals would be able to speak about just who was at the meeting which meant they would have more time to prepare before Nova would need to return to England for the first time since the day Viper rescued her from the animals. Nova dropped her hand when Fon placed his hand on her shoulder. The Arcobaleno save for Lal were currently ten years old though it wouldn't be too much longer before they were twenty years old. Due to her visions, Nova knew they would stop ageing so rapidly when they turned twenty. Nova looked at her Storm guardian/father figure, "I'm just a bit nervous."

"It's understandable," Fon offered her an encouraging smile, "We're here for you,"

"I know," Nova took a deep breath to relax herself and reached up to run her fingers through Cyala's fur.

Just as the final ten seconds began to pass by, the door opened to admit Dumbledore, someone she knew to be Minerva McGonagall, and Alastor 'Mad-Eye' Moody. Viper had cloaked Fon and herself in an illusion to appear in their adult forms before the trio of English magicals. The three looked a little harried and slightly pale as they walked further into the room. Nova had been allowing her Sky flames and magic to suffuse the room since they'd arrived both to keep the room calm and to ensure that they had the advantage should things turn nasty. Dumbledore's eyes ran over her guardians first before focusing on her and she watched with some amusement as his eyes widened. Nova spoke as she inclined her head towards Dumbledore, "Mr. Dumbledore, I am pleased to see that your companions and yourself have arrived. A few more seconds and I would've thought you were going to skip the meeting that you worked so hard for. My name is Noir Nova or as you English say Nova Noir. Beside me, is Viper," Viper inclined her head not saying anything, "And Fon."

"A pleasure," Fon greeted the magicals with an serene smile.

It took a few beats of silence for Dumbledore to realize they were waiting for him to speak. Dumbledore cleared his throat, "Miss...Noir," Nova nearly smirked knowing that he wanted to call her Potter, "I am Dumbledore Albus and with me are McGonagall Minerva and Moody Alastor. I would like to give you my utmost thanks for allowing us to meet with you though I do wish I'd been informed of how many people I may bring."

"I apologize for any upset the lack of information caused," Nova smiled sweetly and innocently at the old goat, "It was an oversight that will not occur again. As you are the first Englishmen that has managed to pass the test my guardian set up for me, I suppose it shouldn't be a surprise that you were not aware of the fact that I only allow the person I'm meeting with to bring only two guests," Nova waved a hand to the table, "Please do sit down, we cannot have a meeting if you are not comfortable. Would you like some tea? Any snacks? The bank provides some of the best snacks for meetings such as this,"

"Ah, yes," Dumbledore looked slightly unsettled which would make any mind reading Viper needed to do easier.

The trio of English magicals sat down across from the trio of flame users. Tea was served to the magicals quickly while Nova and her guardians were provided their preferred refreshments. Drinking some of her hot chocolate, Nova cleared her throat and asked, "Mr. Dumbledore, could you perhaps tell me why you wished to meet with me so badly?"

"As you are most likely aware, a war is going on in England," Dumbledore began earning a raised eyebrow from Nova, "I am the leader of the Light side of the conflict. My people, the Order of the Phoenix, are currently fighting against the dark side, the death eaters,"

"And I should care, why?" Nova asked with a frown.

"Because Lord Voldemort killed your parents, Miss Potter," Dumbledore replied earning a low sigh from Nova.

Nova leaned back against her chair, "Mr. Dumbledore, I would prefer it if you didn't call me that. My name is Noir Nova and has been since a month after my parents tragic death," Nova was happy that her hot chocolate was laced with calming potion since the old man was already irritating her, "Even with my parents being murdered, wouldn't it be better for me to stay away from the conflict? If Lord Voldemort is truly after me, I would be safer staying as far away from England as possible."

"Because you're the one prophesied to defeat Voldemort," Dumbledore replied earning three pairs of narrowed eyes and a laugh from the resident seer in the room.

While she knew that she'd have to kill Voldemort since it truly was destined, she wasn't going to let the old man know that she knew, "And what makes you think I'm the one prophesied to do it? Perhaps there is another?"

"The only other one that it could be is a boy named Neville Longbottom and he was taken out of the running because Voldemort marked you," Dumbledore replied gesturing to her forehead, "You have the scar to prove it,"

Nova lifted up her hair to reveal the thin silvery scar that was her only link to that night, "You mean this one?"

"It's healed," Dumbledore whispered softly.

"Mou, of course it's healed," Viper scowled at Dumbledore, "Any guardian worth their weight in money would know to get the child checked by a healer. The moment she came into my custody, I took her to the goblin healers as they are some of the best in the world. They healed it and even got rid of that little soul piece without any trouble,"

"Soul piece?" Moody asked with a frown.

"Apparently," Nova looked at her nails, "Your 'dark lord' decided to practice one of the few magics that are reviled by the whole world and split his soul in half. Of course, he didn't stop at doing it once, he did it more times which left his soul unstable. Due to this instability, the night whatever ritual my mother used to protect me killed him, a piece of his remaining soul broke off and lodged itself into the scar left by the magical backlash caused by the killing curse being rebounded," Nova swallowed some of her hot chocolate before continuing, "Thankfully, the goblins were able to remove it before it managed to get past the lingering protections my mother's ritual offered me," Nova looked at their pale faces with a slight smile, "Though," She picked up one of the cookies that had been offered and examined it, "I do have to wonder why I should bother helping you,"

"Do you not want revenge for your parents?" Dumbledore asked with wide eyes.

Nova took a bite of her cookie and chewed it carefully. Once she'd swallowed her bite, she replied, "No."

"No?" McGonagall looked both happy and alarmed, "Why not?"

"Revenge brings out the worse in people," Nova replied in a slightly soft voice, "So many problems are caused by those seeking revenge, I cannot even count the true amount," Nova shook her head softly, "Revenge is nothing but an excuse to cause pain to someone that has wronged you in some way. I understand that he killed my parents and so many other people. I understand that I should crave revenge in your eyes, but I don't," Nova looked at them for a few moments, "When I was young and could understand why I wasn't with my birth-parents, my auntie told me about what happened. I was angry then and wanted so badly to hurt the one that had taken them from me. I blamed them for not being there for me. I ended up doing a lot of damage to both myself and those around me at the time. Once the anger and other dark emotions had left me, I felt empty and lost," Nova drank some more hot chocolate, "So no, I do not want revenge as it will do nothing save for leave me feeling empty with blood staining my hands,"

Silence fell over the room and Nova took the time to center herself. Even with the calming potion helping her stay calm, it did nothing to ease the storm of emotions within her. Thinking of revenge left her with bitter taste in her mouth, the same could be said about her birth parents. Some small part of her heart hated them for dying as they had, it was a truly small part, but it existed. Fon broke the silence, "Do you have any other arguments as to why Nova should help you?"

Dumbledore nodded slowly, "Because once Voldemort knows you're still alive, he will come after you. He will not stop until not only you, but those you care for are dead."

Nova looked at her guardians and they looked back at her. After a few moments, Nova looked back at Dumbledore and said, "We will think about it, but know this, I will not be funding your little club."

"Why ever not?" Dumbledore looked shocked at that.

"For a few reasons," Nova held up a finger, "One: I do not know you well enough to think about lending you money. Two: You still owe my family for the money my parents lent you in the last war. Three: There is no way to make money off an investment like this. Four: You do not actually fight to win. And lastly: I have no inclination to give money to the person that helped get my parents killed,"

"Miss Potter!" McGonagall looked angry and Nova could see hints of the woman Sirius spoke so fondly about, "The headmaster did no-"

"She is right, Minerva," Dumbledore sighed sadly, "I truly am sorry for not protecting them as I should have,"

Nova inclined her head before looking at Moody as the man exclaimed, "I've been telling you, Dumbledore! We need to kill the bloody bastards not stun them and let them go!"

Instead of replying to Moody, Dumbledore turned to Nova, "I assume our meeting is done?"

"Indeed," Nova nodded slowly, "I wish you safe travel home. We will contact you when a decision has been reached and I'd advise you to accept our answer when you get it,"

"We will," Dumbledore stood up along with his friends prompting Nova to do the same with her guardians.

They bowed to one another with Dumbledore bowing deeply to Nova. Nova bowed slightly though it didn't seem to offend the old goat. Nova spoke just as the old man was about to leave, "I would heavily advise against telling anyone about who I really am. The results would not be pleasant."

Dumbledore nodded slowly with a slightly pale face and quickly left with his people. As soon as they were gone, Nova pulled back her flames and magic with a low sigh. Fon smiled slightly, "Well that went well."

Okay here's the next chapter.
