"It's more like you're trying to clear you conscience. Where was your support all year when he was alone? Where were you when he was crying at the loss of his brothers and sister and love? (She turned facing Remus) Where were you when he begged for help or just someone to talk to?"
When no one responded she huffed and said "So you show up here today when he needs to remain calm and focused for the task ahead and you upset him. Do you realize how dangerous this tournament is? Do you realize that he could die? I did some research on this stupid tournament and the reason family day was instituted in the first place was because of the death toll as it was intended to give the champions a relaxing day before the final and usually bloody task."
Molly said "Dumbledore won't let that happen."
Megan snorted "Yeah, that's worked out well for Harry so far hasn't it. Mum, Dad, I need to go find Harry and calm him down. I will catch up to you in a little while."

As soon as Megan entered the Great Hall, Minerva stopped her and asked "I saw Mr. Potter leave the castle in a rush. Is something wrong?"
Megan snapped "You could say that. You invited people that Harry has no wish to see to come for 'family' day and all they managed to do was upset him."
Minerva replied "Albus thought it might help the situation if they were here to show their support."
Megan snorted "Where have you been all year? The only thing you have accomplished today is sending Harry further over the edge to the point that he will be reckless and suicidal when he steps into that maze. You idiots have undone all the work I did to keep him from just walking away from this world. Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to go find my boyfriend and try to calm him down before he does something stupid."
Minerva was horrified at what had been said to her but somewhere in the back of her mind, she knew Harry would be fine because he had found his Lily. In the end, she did as she always did and just went about her business.

Harry made his way down to the lake without any interruption and found himself on the rock that he preferred to watch the world from.
Once he sat down, several merpeople stuck their heads out of the water and then disappeared. A few minutes later, another head rose from the water than looked as if it had a crown on it. When they made eye contact the merman said "Yew ah Haawy Pahtah."
Harry gave him a nod.
"I wans to thank yew fah de giff. Few men no ow to honor us wif giffs."
Harry cocked his head for a minute as he processed what was said and replied "You are most welcome. Tell your warriors that I thank them for their actions. I don't know how much longer I would have lasted."
The merman chief nodded and said "Yew ah strong yung one. Yew cawy the air ov yor ancestor. Yew will do fine."
Harry bowed to the chieftain as he slipped back under the water.
Harry sat holding the new wand for quite a while as he tried to get a grasp on what happened. The feeling he got when he first held the wand in his hand was indescribable and he needed time to sort it out. Megan taught him meditation when she was teaching him occlumency so he slipped into a trance to try and focus his mind better. Once he had done this, he felt the cloak in his pocket react to the wand and subconsciously pulled it out and over him. When this happened, his whole world went wild as information started assaulting his mind. The long history of the cloak went through his mind and he watched as generations of Potters used it over the years. Towards the end of the session, he saw a man that looked a lot like him use the cloak to conceal a wounded wizard in what appeared to be a fierce battle. The next flashes he got were of his father and the Marauders using it to pull pranks and stay out of trouble. As the memories were slowing down, he watched as the headmaster used the very wand he held to poke and prod the cloak to try and discover its secrets. In the last image, he watched as he opened it and the cloak was almost joyous as it was once again in the right hands.
No sooner than the cloak finished, he was watching the bloody history of the wand until it finally came back to the hands of the family it belonged to. He learned that the wand needed someone with a lot of power to wield it which meant that the Potter line was about the only family line that produced wizards powerful enough to wield it.
He watched a scene that showed his grandfather as he lay dying as Albus Dumbledore stood over him. He watched Albus reach for the wand only for Charlus to use the last of his strength to banish the wand into the Potter family vaults. It remained there until the faces of Albus Dumbledore and Bearclaw appeared above it and the wand was forced into the service of Dumbledore.
Harry was horrified at all the things Albus had done with the wand and how he had used it to bend people to his will through curses and charms. Harry felt the happiness of the wand because now that Harry had laid his hands on it, it was able to purge the evil it had done with Albus and Harry felt as if the wand felt relieved that it was back in the hands of its family.
As he sat there in meditation, a symbol appeared in his mind and he felt a pull to the south. The feeling he got was that he wasn't complete and once he was restored whole, the family would regain its rightful place in the world.
