Diagon alley was always a busy place. Various people bustled around searching for items, other just wandered looking for nothing and some school kids were looking for there books. The quiey village was filled with the growl of thunder and the dark grey-black clouds flashed with a silver light was lightning split the skies. Most people were in groups but the odd person was alone.
Walking alone down the road was 16 year old Harry Potter, he was clothed in a black shirt with a golden gothic cross on the front and a pair of black jeans and black vans. In his pockets where bags of his school stuff and his new clothes resided. His hair was black and messy as always but gold and silver streaks littered it, around his neck was a silver necklace with a black ankh on the end, a single emerald was in the middle of the cross. He went towards the tattoo parlor next to the magical menagarie and went up to the counter and a girl with a blue velvet coker smiled at him.
"Hey, im Trinity, what can i do for you, cutie?" The girl asked, chewing some gum as she absently twirled a strand of blue hair around her finger. Harry smiled at her, a marauders grin.
"Well, i want a tattoo. Obviously. And also, do know what scale grafting it?" Harry said softly, his voice broken.
Trinity grinned, her eyes showing shock. "Sure, follow me."
Trinity lead him to the back and asked him what he wanted and where. He told her and she nodded. "Good choice"
He was told to take off his shirt, so he did. His muscled chest was visable, along with his arms, a thin line of dark hair that started at his navel and disappeared below his jeans. He smiled lightly as Trinity blushed and she told him to lay on his stomach. Harry nodded and did so.
"What colour scales do you want?" Trinity said. Harry told her he wanted green, gold and silver. She set to work, fusing the scales to his skin, Harry bit back screams of pain as his skin was sliced then healed over the edges of the scales. Half an hour later the scales were done and he was told to turn on his back. Trinity grabbed up the colour needles and began to rapidly tattoo his left hip. Harry relaxed into the seat at the woman whiped away the blood occasionally. She finished the one on his left hip and then began to rapidly pierce his right bicep and, after she'd finished that, the left side of his neck.
Harry got up and stretched each muscle one by one. He looked at the tattoo on his neck, a paw print, a hoof print, a lily and a full moon. On his right bicep was a lion standing on a cliff roaring at the sky, the sky was grey with lightning all around, the sea bashing at the cliff's, the lion was his star sign. He looked at the one on his left hip, a white wolf staring ahead with amber eyes, a silver and gold pheonix, a russet and gold stag with large brown horns and a black stallion with a lightning bolt partially hidden by a black mane, his animagus forms. He turned and used two mirrors to look at his back, it was a Hungarian horntail in green, gold and silver, fire the same colour as its scales billowed out his mouth.
"Wow." He breathed. Trinity smiled at him and grabbed some bandages, wrapping up each tattoo carefully. He gave her the money and thanked her with a nod.
She stopped him before he entered diagon alley again and said. "Are you going to hogwarts?"
Harry nodded slightly. "Yeah, Im Harry by the way. Harry Potter."
The girl grinned knowingly. "I've just transfered over along with my friends from America, i'll look foward to seeing you there."
Harry nodded and smiled before going to the magical menagarie. He searched through various pets until he came to the snakes, he felt a slight pull toward a beautiful large, black cobra with gold markings down its body. It had gold eyes that matched the stripes along his body. He crouched and looked at it.
"Hello, im Harry. Whats your name?" He hissed softly.
The snake's head shot up and he flicked out his tounge. "I am Caden, an Egyptian cobra, Harry." Harry smiled at him and undid the cage, the large snake slithered his great length up Harry's body and rested across his shoulders. Harry looked around for a while and found nothing. A pull towards something momentarily dazed him and he walked toward it. A smile lit up his features, a black wolf pup was sat, shivering in the corner of the cage. Harry frowned and opened the cage, the black pup whimpered softly, its large amber eyes showing fright. Harry put his hand out - palm up - and smiled gently at the small creature. He uncurled and edged towards him. Harry bit his lip in thought as he payed for all the supplies. He brought a green collar with 'Khaz' written in silver. Harry smiled as he walked slowly out of the storye'd found his third familiar. Hedwig, Caden and Khaz. Harry gently lifted Khaz into his arms and stroked the soft black fur with his thumb.
Harry went towards the WWW and as he went to open the door, he heard voices. Fred's voice filtered through the crack in the door. "What do you mean?! I will not spy on Harry like Mum, Dad, Ginny, Ron and Hermione."
"Me neither!" Hissed George's voice.
"Me neither. Im freinds with Harry because he's a good person, never in a million years would I!" Bill's voice growled.
"Your mad if you think im going to even consider spying on Harry. He's a nice guy." Charlie's voice said with anger.
"Boys, you must. For the good of the wizarding world." Came the voice of Dumbledore. Harry's eyes flamed angrily and he nudged open the door. He peeked his head in and saw nobody notice, telling Caden and Khaz to be silent, he slipped in.
Harry stood in the shadows and let the chuckle that he'd been holding back burst from his mouth. "Honestly, if death eaters did the same as me you'd all be dead by now." He chuckled, eyes sparkling with anger and slight humor. "Oh Merlin, im turning into Mad eye. I must say thought, it has been a rather enlightening conversation."
He moved into the light, standing next to the older Weasley boys. Dumbledore looked frightened. "Honestly Old man, you're going senile in your old age!"
"Good lord, Harry, why have you got a bandage on your neck and around your arm." Fred said, looking at Harry with wide eyes.
Harry looked at his watch and smiled, he was allowed to take off the bandages now. He tugged at the bandages, the cream material unravelling and falling onto the floor. He smiled lightly at the gasps and unraveled the bandage on his right bicep.
"Harry, my boy! What did you do?" Dumbledore shouted, shocked. Harry mearly grinned and unraveled the bandage on his chestt from behind his back.
"I got my hair streaked and some tattoo's Old Man." He said with a grin. Dumbledore looked angry but Harry didnt care.
"Well, you're coming back to grimmauld place with me." Dumbledore huffed, his eyes twinkling madly. Harry's eyes darkened, thunder rumbled overhead, lightning streaked the sky.
"Just try it. I know you blocked my magic." He hissed, his voice soft and deadly. Dumbledore shot a jet of red light which Harry recognized as the stunning curse. Harry just blinked calmly. The spell hit his chest and in a burst of pure white light it rebounded and slammed hard into Dumbledore.
Harry turned to the shocked weasley boys and grinned. "Lets leave the order of sheep a little present, shall we?" Harry said. "Fred, George. Do you happen to have one of those invisability hats? A pink one?" Harry said with a mischevious smirk. "I think its time i embraced my marauder side."
Fred and George gawped at Harry as they shove the hat on Dumbledore's head. "M-marauder side?" They whispered simaltaneously.
Harry's eyes sparkled and he spoke softly. "Guys, i would like you to meet, Prongslet." He said and with that he turned into his stag form. The four boys jumped and Charlie reached out and stroked the stag's beautiful fur softly. Harry tossed his head and transformed back. "My dad was Prongs, Sirius is Padfoot, Remus is Moony and - " Harry made a discusted face and hissed. "Peter Pettigrew was Wormtail"
Harry smiled at the boys and pulled a scrap bit of parchment from his pocket, he grabbed a quill off the side and scribbled a message. "You've been warned Dumbledore." Harry made it into a portkey and sent Dumbledore into Buckbeaks room.
"Listen guys, i've go to get going, i appreciate the support. If you need some place to stay, just ask." Harry grinned at them and hoisted Khaz higher into his arms.
"Harry, is that an Egyptian Cobra?" Bill said, peering at the large snake that was draped around Harry's shoulders.
Harry nodded slightly. "Yep. This is Caden." Harry stroked Khaz's ears and smiled as they twitched. "and this is Khaz."
The weasley boys looked sheepish. "Is it okay if we stay with you Harry? We can't go back to the burrow now we've found out about this. " Asked Charlie softly, fidling with the chain of his jeans.
Harry's face broke into a wide smile. "Sure, when you're ready." Harry commented then he turned toward Caden and hissed softly. "Have you got a smaller form?"
Caden suddenly shifted to a small snake and slithered to Harry's left bicep before curling around it and falling asleep. Harry put Khaz on his shoulder, the small wolf pup curled into the warm crook of his neck. The weasleys all told him they were ready and touched Harry's arm. He smiled at them once before they all disappeared and reappeared in Potter manor.
