Run
Chapter one: RUN
POV:Harry
I breath in a lung full of fresh air I’m off the hogwarts express after sitting through the trip head lost in the clouds and Luna near me Ron and hermonie having given me space.
-ON THE TRAIN-
I look at Luna tilting my head at her wondering if I should ask my question only to notice a knowing gleam in her eyes. Fuck it.
”Luna this may sound crazy I’m not I swear should I bail? The dursleys seriously aren’t safe and I can’t say I don’t believe no I can’t believe there’s truly no where that would be safer-.”
luna looks at me a strange glint before she seemingly decides what to say.
”The wackspurts say that you need to do what feels right that certain questions can’t be answered quite yet hades.” Luna replies in a somewhat vacant tone.
I know what feels right I NEED TO LEAVE. I can’t understand why the feelings so intense but something’s wrong so clearly WRONG. Instead of saying this to Luna lord knows the girl seems to already have her head filled as is I don’t wanna somehow make it worse I respond with a simple thank you and receive a hum of acknowledgment.
-PRESENT TIME-
Shaking my head to clear it I look around me before moving out towards the muggle parts and resizing a moter cycle Sirius gave me to use should it ever become necessary.
hoping on it I make sure I have everything on me before whistling high and sharp for hedwig my little queen and then again make sure I’m on securely and remember how Sirius taught me. (Most would be astonished I’m doing safety checks but seriously I’m a griffindor for bravery not stupidity I’m smart enough to do a safety check really are stereotyping is just as bad as slytherins.)
Hedwig circles above a returning cry to my whistle the engine reeves up under me and I settle for a ride glamouring myself. Now my scars gone my hairs longer and I’m more filled out if I were to be seen by another’s eyes.
It’s late almost night by the time we’d reach surrey if I was going with my uncle and obviously I’m not going to use the magical aspects of it infront of muggles no instead I follow the muggle laws and end up by the leaky cauldron nearing nightfall.
getting off the cycle I shrink it and secure it in my pocket making sure it won’t fall out and check my wand holster. Wand?Check. Trunk? Check. Goal in mind? Check. All items I previously had on my person? Check.
if there’s anything Barty managed to install in me it was vigilance after all a repeat is not in my interests.
Going through the leaky cauldron unhindered which I breath a sigh of relief for I reach the back wall with the brick entrance tapping the pattern on the bricks I enter diagon alley.
passing the shops one goal in mind as I keep my eyes out for threats any article proclaiming me crazy has my scowl deepening until it cannot anymore and the severe look of my face must be a sight as most are giving me a wide berth. (Unbeknownst to Harry his eyes were glowing adva green his hair was slightly lifting with his crackling magic almost tangible his displeasure most to scared to cross him right now.)
I find myself in front of gringotts Bowing before the guards I respond in a manner considerd polite to show them respect. “Good evening may your enemies tremble before your blade guard masters.” Before I raise out of the bow noting the surprised looks.(they shouldn’t be surprised I think they handle our money and can be VERY vicious the disrespect some people show towards them is disgusting.)
Once in the bank I wait in a line eventually I find myself before a teller waiting till they finish whatever it is they’re finishing when they’re done they look up in a bit of surprise which only increases when I greet them.
“Hello master goblin sharp blade.” I note from their name tag “I am hoping to do an inheritance test.”
”hello heir potter we’ve been waiting for you please follow me we will settle this after your other business is complete here.”
Confusion sparks through me what business why were they waiting? “What business do you mean? Why were you waiting? What do we have to settle?”
The goblin looks at me exasperated as we enter a room before calling in another goblin named griphook. “He will explain hair potter.”
I nod before responding “thank you master goblin may your coffers ever flow.”
The goblin looked up before returning the greeting “And may your enemies face eternity.”
When the goblin finally leaves I turn to griphook “greetings warden griphook” I incline my head in a shoe of respect but do not lower my gaze otherwise it would read as a show of submission.
The toe curling smirk on griphooks face awakens a blood thirsty one on my own which I barley manage to suppress.
”Grettings heir potter.”
“Master Sharp blade mentioned business and you waiting me yet I’ve no clue why. Could you elaborate please?”
Griphook looks exasperated just like sharp blades “you can’t mean you haven’t gotten ANY of gringotts missives for your presence?”
”Missives?” The confusion in my voice and on my face must really show because suddenly alarm wakes in griphooks eyes as he rips out some parchment and a bowl with a vial of some potion which he pours in the bowl before looking up at me again.
“we’ve been sending you letter after letter ALL year you can’t seriously NOT know!” Griphook sounds a bit hopeful like he wants to believe that but doesn’t .
suddenly the go blind head whips towards me causing me to startle harshly “heir potter cut your hand and release it in the potion SEVEN drops only!”
