The Good Cousin
--Hp--
Harry Potter was walking down the road paranoid as hell. A week ago he finished his forth year at Hogwarts where he was forced to participate in a tournament, that only people over seventeen could enter, even though he was only fourteen and watched a fellow competitor die and then forced to watch the resurrection of the darkest and most evil wizard in centuries Lord Voldemort and said dark wizard happened to want him dead. Harry didn't know why but ever since he was introduced to the wizarding world there has been an attempt to kill him at least once a year. He knew there was some connection between him and Voldemort because there would be no other reason for the attempts to kill him. He figured after all of Voldemorts attempts to kill him Dumbledore would start training him but he didn't. Instead he sent him back to the Dursley's who loathed him and for all he knew Voldemort could come in the dead of night and kill him in his sleep which was why he was walking to the park paranoid. Everywhere he went he felt as if he was being followed. He could swear he could hear someone following him when ever he left the Dursley's house but when ever he looked back no one was there. He sent Dumbledore a letter explaining it and all he got back was that he would look into it. And then on top of that his friends weren't sending him much mail and when they did it was just saying they couldn't say much incase the letters were intercepted or that Dumbledore told them not to say much. He just turned into the park and starting walking towards the only unbroken swing when he heard someone trip. He looked back and didn't see anything.
"God I'm getting as paranoid as Moody." He said with a little chuckle to himself and sat down on the swing. He slowly pushed the swing back and forth on the swing as he watched three boys about ten years old playing on the monkey bars. As it started to get dark the boys started to leave the park. He looked away form them and saw Dudley and his gang walking towards the boys not noticing him sitting there.
"Hey Pat, Joe, Kyle what you guys doing." Dudley asked as they surrounded the three boys.
"W-what do you w-want." One of the boys asked.
"Oh nothing really. Just bored and since you're here we are going to have fun kicking your arse." Said Piers Polkiss a rat faced boy. With a sigh Harry got off of the swing looked around and saw a metal bar that was broken off of one of the swing sets. He picked it up and slid it into his long sleeve shirt and walked over to the group.
"Oi Diddykins why don't you and the rest of your rejects get the hell out of here. I am sick and tired of you always thinking your badass when your not." Harry said and Dudley and the six other gang members turned towards him.
"What the hell did you say Potter." Dudley said as he stepped forward.
"You heard me Diddykins get lost now." Harry said with a growl.
"I think it's time we showed you your place Potter." Piers said with a sneer and the gang all started coming towards him. Harry backed up a few steps and put his arm behind his back and let the pipe slid into his hand as he watched the three boys run to the entrance of the park and run as fast as they could down the road. He grinned as Piers jumped towards him and he gripped the pipe in his hand and swung it and it hit Piers right in the stomach knocking him to the ground out of breath. When the other six saw Piers fall they all ran at him and he ducked to the side of one of them and smashed the pipe into his leg as hard as he could and heard a bone break. He looked around and saw the other five circling him all of them had knives out. He was watching three of them that were in front of him and they dived at him. He jumped out of the way and right into Dudley who stabbed him in the side and twisted the blade and yanked it up before he knocked the pipe out of his hand and then grabbed Harry's wand from his pocket. Harry cried out in pain as Dudley pushed him to the ground after he pulled out his knife. Dudley kicked him in his side before he bent down next to him.
"If you think this is bad freak wait until we get home dad is going to kill you. I have your wand." Dudley whispered before standing up and kicking him in the side again. "Come on let's go guys." Dudley said as he helped Piers to his feet and the other's still standing helped the one with a broken leg start walking and they left the park.
"My home is not with them." Harry said to himself as he put pressure on his side and let tears fall down his face as the sun went down. He heard a noise and looked up to see a man with brown hair and a wand running towards him. 'Oh no' Harry thought to himself as the man got closer. Suddenly he heard the loud crack of someone apperating and turned to see at least thirty Deatheaters. A bolt of red light shot from the man running towards them and the deatheaters shot ten killing curses right at the man who fell down dead.
"Hello Potter." Said one of the deatheaters he recognized as Lucius Malfoy.
"S-sure come when I'm injured real brave of you." Harry said as he clutched his side and tried to stand up only to be hit with a Cruciatus Curse from Malfoy making him fall to the ground screaming in pain making the deatheaters laugh.
"How does it feel Potter to be in pain?" Malfoy asked with a sneer.
"Why not just ask your half-blood master I'm sure he'll show you." Harry said from the floor on his hands and knees and he got hit with another Cruciatus.
"How dare you speak of the dark lord like that Potter." Malfoy said as he let go of the curse.
"You mean…Voldy?" Harry asked as he tried to catch his breath.
"Crucio." Malfoy screamed and Harry watched the curse heading towards him. Just as it was about to hit Harry used all of his strength to roll to the side.
"Missed me." Harry said with a weak chuckle as blood poured from his wound and just as Malfoy was about to shout another curse deatheaters in the back of the group started screaming. Malfoy turned around just in time to dodge a curse and when he did Harry saw a group of people in black muggle clothes firing curse and saw ten fallen deatheaters on the ground before he started to black out.
"Retreat." He heard Malfoy yell. "I'll get Potter." Was the last thing he heard before he totally blacked out.

"How is he." Harry heard a male's voice he didn't know ask in an American accent.
"He's fine. We fixed the wounds on his side and checked his magic like you told us." Said a woman.
"And what did you find." Another male asked.
"His magic was blocked by Albus Dumbledore." Said the woman as Harry tried to open his eyes.
"And." Said the first man.
"Well we unblocked it about an hour ago." the woman said
"Good did he have any talents." Asked another woman.
"He has parseltongue, natural mind magic's, the ability to become an animagus and if his core has anything to do with it maybe more than one." said a man
"What does that mean." Someone asked as Harry opened his eyes and took in the blurs around the room.
"He has a very large aura. Probably bigger than Dumbledore's." said a woman next to the bed.
"W-what's going on?" He asked and everyone turned to the bed.
"Your awake." The woman said in shock.
"Yeah now who are you people? What's going on? Where am I and where are my glasses?" he asked as he reached for the table next to him. The person next to him grabbed his glasses and put them on his face and a small group of people he didn't know came into view he looked around and saw they where all in there twenties.
He looked at the woman next to him and saw she was in her early twenty's she had light blue eyes and had her black hair in a braid with pink strips running through it.
"Well to answer your questions your glasses are on your face, you are in a bedroom, I am answering your questions and I am Casey Hart." She said with a smile.
"Can some one else answer my questions." Harry asked as he looked at a man that was standing next to the bed. He stood at about 6'1 with big muscles and a green Mohawk and green eyes.
"My name is David. Like Casey said you are in a room at my place in America. Jake over there." He said waving at a man with blue spiked hair. "Had a feeling we should visit an aunt, uncle and cousins of mine that lived in England that I have never meet before. So we went. Well on the way to the house of my relatives. We came across you." He stopped and stared at Harry.
"And." Harry asked as he glared at the man in front of him.
"We knew who you are because the death eaters said your name. So we stopped the deatheaters from taking you then brought you here."
"Oh sorry I stopped you from seeing your family." Harry said sarcastically as he tried to sit up only to be pushed back down by Casey and he glared at her.
"Oh don't worry about that. I got to see them when I went to get your stuff." He said and Harry's eyes went wide.
"Are you saying that you're my cousin." Harry asked in shock.
"Yes I am. My name is David Evans my father Charles Evans was your mother's older brother. Before he and my mother died he told me about my relatives. I looked for any information I could about your family because I was told Petunia would hate me because of my magic. When I found out my cousin was Harry Potter I thought it was fucking crazy. I tried to contact you with owls but you never replied. So I just figured you wanted nothing to do with me. But before we brought you here we ran scans over you and found that you had an owl redirecting charm on you and that you had five trackers three from one person two from another. So we took them off and brought you here." David finished with a grin.
"But why?" Harry asked
"Well when I started reading about you I always thought something was weird because of all of the stuff that happened since your first year. Voldy I believe you called him tried to kill you when you were one, than as a first year, than as a second year, and finally in your forth year he came back to life. So if I'm not wrong he will try it again and you need to be trained and you need to have fun." David said.
"Oh um ok." Harry said.
"So kid did you what we were talking about a bit ago with the wound and the blocks." Asked a man with a black Mohawk.
"Um yeah." Harry said his mind jumping back to Dumbledore blocking his magic.
"Well when Casey checked you out she saw severe signs of malnourishment. So we're gonna get you a potion ta take care of it." he said.
"Umm alright." Harry said looking around the room. "So who are all of you?"
"Sorry Harry forgot to give intro's." David said. "The dude with the black Mohawk is Jakes brother Jack. The woman with the black and three different shades of red is Monica. The woman with the brown hair is Jessica. Then the two guys with the long hair are Joe and John, John is the one with blonde hair. There are more but Sarah and her sister Amber are out trying to find a school for Amber to go to since she got kicked out of another one she's the same age as you. Then there is Chuck he's at work and so is Jeff."
"Oh." Was all Harry said as he looked at David. "How do I know any of this is true?"
"Well we can go to Gringotts sometime and do a blood test." David said.
"Alright." Harry said with a sigh.
"Hey I almost forgot. Here's your wand." David said and handed Harry his wand.
"Thank you."
"No problem." David said
"Alright everyone out. He needs rest." Casey said as she walked away.
"Nice meeting ya kid." Jack said as everyone walked out and Casey came back with two potions and handed them to him.
"What are these?" Harry asked suspiciously.
"The strongest potion for malnutrition and a dreamless sleep potion." Casey said and Harry smelled them before he brought them to his lips and drank them.
"Why don't they taste like crap like they usually do?" Harry asked as he started getting sleepy.
"Don't know." Casey said before Harry fell asleep.

While this was going on Dumbledore was running around like a chicken with his head cut off trying to find out where his weapon was. Snape had just came to him and told him that there was an attack and Voldemort lost the boy. He stepped into the fire place and called out Number 12 Grimmauld Place and disappeared in green flames. He came out in a nasty sitting room and quickly walked through the door and walked to the kitchen. He opened the door and walked in looking around the room. There was a group of people including Hermione Granger, Ron Weasley, and Ginny Weasley. He walked to the head of the table and looked at everyone.
"Is everyone here besides Severus and Dedalus?" He asked and everyone looked around and said no. "Tonight there was an attack on Harry Potter. Dedalus was killed trying to protect him. Severus was called by Lord Voldemort and he told me that Potter some how escaped from the death eaters. I have tried to use my tracking charms but they have been disabled. I talked to the Dursley's they said he started a fight with there boy and they hadn't seen him and I checked there minds and it's true. So if Harry were by himself where would he go?"
"Most likely our house." Ron said. "Or Diagon Ally me and Mione are his only friends until you get him together with Ginny."
"What are you talking about getting him together with Ginny?" Sirius asked in shock along with others along the table.
"We have to make sure he doesn't get with the wrong sort of girl and Miss Weasley is perfect for him." Dumbledore said.
"I won't allow it. I am his godfather and when I get free I will be his guardian so don't count on it happening Harry will get with her only if he choices her." Sirius said
"Of course Sirius your right. What was I thinking." Dumbledore said in a flat tone. "Now on to business. We will send out search parties we need Harry back he is the only one that can defeat Voldemort."

When Harry woke up the next morning he slowly opened his eyes thinking he would just see the cracked ceiling of his room at Private Drive but when he saw the dark wall's of the bedroom he sat up ignoring the pain in his side. He reached for the side table and grabbed his glasses and slid them on his face. After doing that he grabbed his wand and pushed himself out of the bed. He saw that he was only in pajama bottoms and looked around for a shirt but couldn't find one so he left the room without one. He heard noise coming from down the hall way and started walking towards it. He came to a doorway and heard people laughing. He walked into the room and saw all of the people he meet earlier and a woman with red hair about the same age of David and a girl with short red and black hair about his age.
"Hey Harry you shouldn't be out of bed yet." David said and Harry waved him off.
"I'm fine." He said with a blush as he noticed the girl staring at him.
"The potion started working a little bit already. Your about a half inch taller than yesterday and it looks like your muscles are already beginning to come in." Casey said as she walked over to him.
"Yeah whatever um where's my trunk I need a shirt." Harry said
"You won't find one in your trunk I through all of your elephant shirts away." David said
"You did what. I didn't have any other cloths." Harry said with a snarl.
"Calm down little cousin you can borrow a few of my shirts for the week and then the potions will be done and we can get you new cloths." David said with a chuckle.
"I don't know if I have enough money for new clothes." Harry said quietly.
"What are you kidding. The Potter's are an old pureblood family. Not the wealthiest but they had a lot of money." David said
"What are you serious?"
"Yeah. Unless the rules are different in England you should have been getting bank notices every month." David said with a frown.
"What I have never once gotten a bank statement." Harry said
"Well you should have. Come on I'll get you some clothes to wear and you can take a shower than we will go to the bank." David said standing up.
"Fine." Harry said and followed David to his room. They walked in and Harry looked around and saw posters all over the walls. "Who's HIM?" Harry asked as he looked at one of the posters.
"Who's HIM. They are the greatest rock band since the Beatles. When we get back I will let you listen to a CD." David said as he pulled out a pair blue jeans and a black shirt and a studded belt. Then he handed him a new package of boxer's and a pair of socks. "What size shoe are you I might have something that fits instead of those piece of shit shoes you have."
"Ten." Harry said and David pulled out a pair of black shoes and gave them to him.
"Alright there ya go and this will finish the outfit." He said and picked up a black hat from his dresser. "This will cover your scar."
"Thanks." Harry said as he followed David to the bath room.
"Alright when your done just come out to the living room and well leave and get a bite before we head to Gringotts." David said and Harry nodded and went into the bathroom. He put the cloths down on top of the toilet and got undressed and got in the shower. After he was done he got out and dried off. He pulled on the clothes and the shoes and looked at him self in the mirror.
"Lookin good." The mirror said and he shook his head with a small laugh before he put the hat on and left the bath room. He went out to the living room and everyone looked at him.
"That's much better than what you had." David said.
"Uh yeah it is." Harry said as pulled off the hat and ran his hand through his hair and put the hat back on.
"We'll be back in a bit guys. Oh and before I forget Sarah, Amber this is my cousin Harry Potter. Harry this is Sarah and Amber." David said.
"We don't know if we are cousins yet David." Harry said to David before turning to Sarah and Amber. "Nice meeting you."
"You to." Sarah said while Amber just cocked her head and looked at him.
"Alright than lets go. Were taking a portkey." David said with a smile and he held out a piece of rope which Harry grabbed and with a pull in his stomach he was pulled away.
