LC ch 2
Prongs, Padfoot, Mooney and Lilly found themselves waking up from what felt like a light sleep. They all sat and stood up, as soon as they stood up they realized that they were no longer in Hogwarts. They found themselves standing in nothing, every direction had nothing but white.
"Are we dead?" James wondered
"Let me check" Remus slapped Sirius on the back of his head, "nope, we're not dead, my hand felt that."
"Next we don't you just slap yourself?" Sirius spoke through gritted teeth
"Nah" Remus waved his hands "not as fun"
"Focus guys" Lilly looked around, trying to make sense of what was going on "where are we?"
'You are in my realm' The orbs voice echoed 'here you shall see the life of Harry Potter'
"Wait a sec" James interrupted "don't get me wrong, I'd love to see his life, but we don't have time to spend years looking through his life. Someone's going to notice we're missing eventually"
'Fear not my child, my world is different to yours. A year here is a second in your world and you will age according to your world. Besides, I'm not showing you every moment of his life. Now, let us begin'
The Marauder trio and Lilly found themselves sitting in comfy chairs, staring at a massive screen, just like a cinema. Once Lilly explained what that was, the screen activated and started playing. First it started playing random clips, Harry riding a broom at Hogwarts, Harry talking with a red-headed girl then Harry standing with a phoenix on his shoulder and a snake wrapped around his wrist before it cleared and started playing again. The audience looked on in awe and amusement as they saw young Harry being born and they watched his life all the way up to him being seven. At the point the screen paused, James found Lilly gripping his hand, and tears dripped down her eyes.
"It's alright Lilly" James wrapped a comforting arm around her
"I'm sorry" Lilly managed to get out "it's just, Voldermort kills us, but Harry. Oh, poor Harry is left with my sister and she abuses him. I knew she hates me but this is ridiculous! She starves him and let those two whales beat him. Look at him James, if he wasn't a wizard I'm sure he'd be dead!"
lot of people will still angry about that
Dumdeldore received glare from Molly and McGonagall
Draco still couldn't believe that potter was treated as house elf
Sirius, regulus and Theo look harry with understanding
I know" Sirius spoke in a growl very much like one from his animagus form "my question is where am I? I mean if I knew that they were doing that to my godson then I'd hurt them tenfold. Magic or not magic, I mean, where was I?!"
"That's not the only question here" Remus spoke in barley more than a whisper "how did young Harry survive a killing curse from Voldermort of all people?" James sighed as loud as he could
"I don't know guys but maybe we'll find out if we keep watching, if you're still up to it" James spoke to the group, but everyone knew the question was directed to Lilly
"Thanks James" She wiped away her tears "I…I want to keep watching. I… need to keep watching, I need to know what happens to my son. I…need to…I need to know it gets better."
"I'd also like to know how this poor boy becomes the most world's strongest wizard" Remus added
"Come on then, let's keep watching" James insisted and they all watched as the screen began playing again.
Seven year old Harry found himself in his cupboard under the stairs, which also happens to be his bedroom. The last few weeks have been horrible for Harry, his aunt and uncle had punished him multiple times for things that weren't even his fault. Like the time his hair grew back after his aunt had nearly cut it all off, that time the horrible jumper shrunk so he couldn't put it on or that time he ended up on the school roof. His Uncle Vernon didn't believe him when he said it wasn't his fault, two beatings later he found himself back in his cupboard with a broken arm and a black eye. He wondered if they ever noticed how much they hurt him, probably not seeing as they always expect him to do chores the very next day while his non-freak of a cousin got to do whatever he wanted.
Harry's aunt and uncle always called Dudley perfect and handsome, personally Harry thought that they just didn't know what the words mean. Harry wasn't particularly worried about his broken arm, he always heals on his own. For some reason that makes his relatives even more angry but it's not like he can tell his body to not fix itself. Harry had managed to make friends with the spiders in the cupboard, they listen to him and do what he asks them to do. For a long time they were his only friends, until the day he got his letter, today, Harry awoke from a nap when he found two things, a healed arm and a letter on his lap.
Hello Harry
You don't know who I am, but I know you. I'm a relative of yours and I found out you aren't being treated right by your aunt and uncle. I understand if you don't trust me, you probably think this is a joke from the Dursley's. It's not because we both know your aunt and uncle wouldn't waste their time on you and that pig of a cousin of yours couldn't spell to save his life.
As an added reason for you to believe me I'd like to let you know my opinion of your relatives. Your uncle is a cheap, ungrateful, horrible fat whale of a man and his very existence makes me want to puke. Your aunt is a horrible, jealous, loud woman who looks like a giraffe and the fact she's not treating you right leads me to believe that she is even less intelligent than she makes you feel. I'm not going to bother insulting your cousin because he probably won't understand half of what I'm saying.
Now listen to me Harry, you are a wizard, just like your dad and your mom was a witch. That's why your relatives hate you; they think that they can get rid of your magic. Little do they know that they've actually made it stronger because you have to keep using it to heal yourself, I want to teach you about magic along with my sons Godric and Salazar and my two daughter-in-laws Helga and Rowena. We'll teach you all about the wizarding world and as much as we can about magic. We can also tell you about your parents, I should let you know that despite what your relatives tell you, they were killed by a dark wizard named Voldermort. I should also let you know that once you reach the wizarding world, you may meet a man named Albus Dumbledore. Everyone thinks he's a great wizard, he is but what most people don't know is he has a dark side. Everyone thinks he's the nicest thing since sliced bread, but I need to warn you to be careful. He's the one who put you with the Dursley's, he's the one who put blocks on your magic so your weaker and he has plans for you. I'll tell you more if you accept, if you do just say the words 'heir to magic'. Don't worry if you do, time's different where we are and it'll just be like a second for you when you get back. Now ignore the next line, it's not for you.
If you four are watching then you won't be able to see what happens if he accepts.
Goodbye Harry, I hope to see you soon.
Merlin
Everyone gasp and looked at dumdeldore
dumdeldore look horrified at doing such a deed
He didn't do it here said lady magic
Many calm down while some were shocked he got a letter from Merlin himself and that he would be train by founders and Merlin
What your brothers
Salazar and godric nodded
We decide to make our own last name which are Slytherins and godric Gryffindors I been first born got the ability to talk to snake while godric could talk to Griffin's which is how we got our last names and I'm married to ravenclaw while godric with Helga Hufflepuff said Salazar
I left shorty after godric was killer by muggles.
Everyone shocked and stunned
Harry had never been more shocked in his life, he knew the Dursley's definitely didn't write this and nobody else knows that he lives in a cupboard, not even Dudley's friends. He spent about half an hour deciding if he was going to accept. He weighed up the pros and cons of it. If it wasn't real then nothing is going to happen, if it was real then a whole new possibility of things could happen for him. Maybe he'd no longer be a freak, maybe he'd finally have a friend or someone who cares for him.
"Heir to magic" Harry whispered. A flash of light later and Harry was gone. He appeared second later and instead of wearing his cousin's rags he was wearing clothes of his own. He had black combat boots and trousers, a black shirt that seemed to be made perfectly for him and a black hooded cloak just like the ones from Hogwarts but this one had no symbols or colors. He removed the hood and his clothes instantly converted back to his cousin's hand-me-downs. A confident smile and happy smile was etched on his face and he did his best not to laugh. He checked his occlumency barriers were up and opened the door with a wave of his hand.
He was glad he didn't have to rely on a wand, he didn't need one. Merlin advised getting one when he was eleven, and he would but until then, he was perfectly content on using wand-less magic. He leaned out of the door and remembered that his relatives were gone. Harry took the opportunity to apparate away, he decided to visit Diagon alley and check out the wizarding world. Before he got there he placed a few glamour charms on, he was now a blonde, scar less, blue eyed boy. Diagon Alley was exactly like Merlin described, tons of wizards and witches running around and no one place was the same. Harrys first stop was the goblin bank Gringotts, upon entering he noticed the goblins looking at him with disgust, the were probably expecting him to be a jerk or too poor to be of importance.
he can apparate said many in awe
Arrest him yelled Umbridge
are you dumb it's not me and you're just embarrassing yourself
Umbridge saw the looks
Now sit down you daughter of a toad said harry causing many to laugh
Umbridge pulled out her hand to to curse him but Salazar was quick and sent Umbridge flying into the wall knocking her out.
Many cheers and many students look at Salazar in awe.
many were impressed with harry magic.
"Hello" Harry bowed to one of the Goblins at the tills "my name is Harry Potter sir and I'd like to talk to the Goblin in charge of the Potter vault, I was hoping you could call him or at least point me in his direction." Harry hid a smirk at the Goblins totally stunned look, it was obvious he hadn't been expecting Harry or the respect he brought with him".
"Very well" The Goblin managed to compose himself "let me lead you to somewhere you can talk to him".
The goblin lead Harry to a conference room, where he sat until he was joined by the Goblin 'Griphook' and the meeting went exactly as Harry had planned. First he impressed him with his politeness and respectful attitude before confirming he was Harry Potter through a blood test, he then feigned shock at finding out he had more than one vault at all, and told Griphook how he only found out about that one through a letter from his mother.
"Your magical guardian should have told you about the Potter vault, I didn't expect him to know about the others but you should at least know about the Potter one. I mean, he's been taking money from it for seven years so he could pay for your living expenses."
"He what?!" Harry's shock was genuine this time "that's bull! Pardon my rudeness but I don't even know who my magical guardian is, I've lived with muggles my whole life and they'd never spend money on me if they could help it. Only on themselves or my precious cousin, they beat and starve me and make me live in a cupboard for merlin's sake!"
i did send them money to care for you said dumdeldore
So that how Dudley got what he wanted said Harry
lily and James were Angy at that.
"They what?!" Griphook mirrored Harry's previous reaction except with a bit more rage "how dare they?! Even goblins treat children with love and respect! Your muggle family, they're known as the Dursley's right? Well it appears that they have been given a large sum of money from your account every month, the equivalent of £500 a month. This money was given because they were supposed to look after you, but they clearly haven't."
"Could you stop them from receiving this money?"
"Even better" Griphook smiled "we can force them to repay it all"
"Yes!" Harry nearly jumped with joy "please do that, the look on their faces would be priceless. But while I have your attention, who is my magical guardian?"
"Albus Dumbledore is not your legal magical guardian, but he did claim guardianship of your in Gringotts eyes. Your true guardian had become, shall we say 'unavailable' and Dumbledore claimed the role from a Gringotts point of view. In case this is unclear, he's not your guardian but the bank thought of him as such your parents will was sealed. No doubt by him. However if you wish, we can remove him from the role and force him to return any money he took from your account. But I should let you know that if we do so then it returns to your actual magical guardian, Sirius black"
Harry agreed and talked with Griphook about Sirius, finding out he had a godfather who apparently betrayed his parents but was never given a trial was quite interesting. Harry soon after took some money from his trust vault, and visited his family vault. He found a letter from his parents, telling him how they loved him, the prophecy and how he should be careful with Dumbledore. Things he already knew, but it also told him about how Sirius Black wasn't the secret keeper and Dumbledore knew about it. Merlin told him how he didn't know everything but he was hoping this was one of the things he did.
He thanked Griphook, leaving him a bag of galleons from his own vault as a thank you and reason to keep quiet about him coming here. He had exchanged some galleons into pounds so he could go shopping for muggle clothes before spending galleons at a nice ice cream shop he found and buying a seven compartment trunk where each compartment was the size of a room. He made sure it had a library, bedroom, toilet/bathroom, kitchen, potions room, dueling chamber and a swimming pool. He also paid extra to make sure only he could open it. He spent the rest of his time wandering around, and he was enjoying himself when suddenly he was tackled by a red blur.
did you know said harry
No he didn't said James and Lily , we which two days before we were killed James was witnessed and we didn't get the chance to tell dumdeldore or Remus as we were in hiding said James
That was good said harry happy it didn't happened here.
