LW: Time for a little fun between Harry and the Fae.

Summery: Lily had a secret (well 2) and Sirius informs Harry of it at the end of 4th year. Harry finds a new family and allies and they get ready to take down Voldemort even if it means taking the ministry down with him. AU 5th year and beyond.

The Wandering Mage – Family Secrets

Harry sat on the swing in the park near Private Drive one afternoon, for both the fresh air and to avoid his 'family', their presence not the best for any kind of intelligent thoughts, something he's been doing since Sirius pulled him aside and turned his world on its head

Flashback

At the end of the previous school year, before he left with Remus for parts unknown to Harry pulled the boy aside alone. 'Harry' Sirius said looking oddly nervous 'I need to tell you something important' 'Ok Sirius' Harry replied. The ex-convict wrung his hands before coming out with it as bluntly as he normally does 'James wasn't your father...'

End Flashback

Sirius went to continue that Lily had gotten pregnant before getting with James, and she wouldn't tell them his name, partly so they wouldn't hunt him down, just he was a good man but a bit of a wanderer. He had had to leave Lily and she hadn't known she was pregnant till she was dating James. He married her and they planed to blood adopt him, never to be mentioned again until they learnt something unexpected during the ritual; Lily was fae, she'd been adopted! This meant the adoption will break down by his 15th birthday, which was why Sirius was informed of this as well as why he was telling him. Harry felt hurt for the lies and for him father's abandonment of him but soon forgave him as he wouldn't have known, but had something different to direct his emotions (mostly anger) on; his mother being adopted meant their were no protections on his 'relative's' home, meaning he had been left in Durzkaban for the last 14 years for nothing.

Harry's head turned to a radio left by one of the other teens earlier as it turned itself on ' Oh well I'm the type of guy who will never settle down, were pretty girls are well you know that I'm around. I kiss em and I love em cause to me their all the same, I hug em and I squeeze em, They don't even know my name... They don't even know my name... They call me the Wanderer, yeah the wanderer I roam around, around, around' then shutting off and Harry noticed the click of a cane and saw a man in a black suit and jacket approach him.

'Hello Mr. Potter, you have no idea how long I've wanted to meet you, I am the Wanderer' he said in a calm voice but there was an undertone of power. Harry looked at the man from his shiny shoes to his ether blue eyes and well kept hair and felt something calling within himself 'You're my father aren't you?' it was a statement though it was phrased like a question. The man to his credit neither looked ashamed nor tried to deny the accusation 'Yes Harry, Lily told me she had my child when you were born but they had to go into hiding and the wards around your home combined with your sealed fae powers made it impossible to find you until now, the ritual has almost completely decayed to the point you will be your true form. Until now I hoped you would be safe, plus I also had your sister to find as she'd actually been kidnapped by her mother so was a higher priority'.

'Wait I have a sister?' Harry asked, the only part of the man's explanation that surprised, after all the older fae might have needed some way to detect him, something difficult to do if he wasn't fae, plus their may have been wards to keep 'dark creatures' like Remus on the house to keep him away. The man smiled 'Thought that would get your attention yes little Ysabeau though she's about 30 now, is your half sister and was taken and hidden from me and until recently was a high priority, not that I hadn't gone looking for you too, but when my best went up against the protections I decided to wait till your powers activated, something that did blip about 3 years ago but faded again though'. The last part peaked Harry's interest 'What happened?' he asked, the wanderer smiled and began to explain

Flashback

Tamsin, high class Valkrye for the Wanderer continued her search for her boss's children, detecting a similar presence to the red head fae the wanderer said was the child's mother and followed soon coming to an unassuming house the exact same as every other house in this perfectly same neighbourhood. She sneered at the humans staring at her as she approached, seeing a young boy weeding the garden. He looked up to her with vibrant green eyes, the same as the girl in the photo she'd been given; this was the kid. A shrill voice was heard calling him in, Tamsin frowned and made to follow, until the wards turned a violent red and reacted to the Valkrye, Tamsin's mind having only one thought 'Aw Fuck!'. She woke in an unknown location very confused and disorientated finding she'd lost 4 hours since she'd left on her mission. The landscape faded to mist and both Tamsin and the wanderer exited the pensieve. 'Well that was unhelpful' Tamsin grumbled, looking surprised by the wanderer's shaking head 'Actually we now know he's well protected, though it is unfortunate the ward prevented you from remembering his location. For now we'll leave him, and when the time comes I will collect him personally' the blond Valkyre stepping back knowing the serious look on the ancient fae's face was never a good thing 'Now I need you to find my other child; Bo'

End flashback

Harry frowned 'I remember her, I was about 5. My aunt wasn't happy when she showed up, thought I attracted freaks to her house; in a way I was as she wasn't a 'normal' human therefore a freak in her and her family's eyes.' A thought came to Harry's mind from mentioning the Dursleys 'Hey not that I'm complaining but usually Dudley and his brainless bunch harass me around now, where are they' he noticed his father 'When had I started to think of him like that?' was smiling in a way he recognised on the twins or Sirius 'My aura has an interesting effect on mortals, I believe it's primal fear as they stay as far as they can from me. So do most fae but that's a learned consequence of who I am rather than what I am'. Harry nodded understanding what he meant; he could feel the man's power flowing from him due to its abundance, beings as strong as him often elicited 1 of 2 reactions; fear and worship.

The air soon turned unnaturally cold, and Harry's heart dropped, the howl of Dementors made their presence known, 2 but that was enough, Harry having forgotten his wand and unsure of the elder fae's abilities or their effect on a Dementor. The first went for the older one seeing him a bigger threat than a wandless teenage wizard, its scabby hands clamping on his shoulders as it began to drain him. The wanderer's face was until that moment passive and uncaring, then it flashed to anger and the decaying corpse like magical creature was hurled away 'You are filth, you can not harm me, and you will never harm anything again!' He was irate, his eyes glowing in their ethereal blue, with a similarly coloured visible aura. He briskly approached the struggling Dementor, attempting to escape the searing heat the fae's aura was producing to it. The Wanderer appeared to pull back his aura before releasing it at the pitiful creature causing it to burst into cobalt coloured flames, rapidly consuming the beast.

Harry cheered seeing the dead abomination, but his joy was short lived. The heat produced by the Wanderer's visible aura hid the 2nd Dementor's approach until it had already grabbed Harry. Instantly Harry felt like he'd been dunked in ice water, his mind running through painful memories; Voldemort killing his mother, Wormtail killing Cedric, the times his uncle nearly beat him to death. He had almost given up till a sibilant voice echoed in his head 'You are weak like this, set me free, let us be whole once again and you can win' 'What are you?' Harry struggled to ask 'I am you, the part that was buried deep, the part they will have you deny when they discover you know, the piece you yearn to reunite with. I am you but fae' Harry believed the voice, his mind clearer since it spoke to him. He dug deep within and felt something basic and primal, pulling it to the surface it took hold and he was blinded by a shining light, and in turn began to feel more powerful, in fact he felt stronger in all senses than he had ever been when the glow faded he saw he was on the ground, all that remained of the Dementor being dust and a tattered cloak.

Harry was helped up by the Wanderer just in time for the man to grab the letter of an approaching owl. He read it out his mouth fixed into a frown

Dear Mister Potter

You have been charged with using illegal 'Wild Magic' and are hereby expelled from Hogwarts, Aurors will be arriving soon to snap your wand and arrest you. Failure to comply will severely hurt your case if you choose to make one.

Sincerely

Martha Hopkins

Department of Misuse of Magic

Harry looked at the man's frozen expression before turning to him 'Where did you live?' he asked surprising Harry '4 Private Drive just down the road' Harry answered then followed the man who walked in the mentioned direction. He stopped outside the house 'Is there much here you need?' he asked looking distain fully at his son's oversized clothes. 'Just my wand, trunk, broom and owl' Harry answered hoping it meant what he thought it did. The wanderer nodded then waved his hands, both briefly flashing white before flicking his wrist and the window opened letting out Hedwig. 'Harry, we will be leaving immediately and never setting foot in this place again, understood?' 'Yes! Thank you' Harry yelled and hugged the man who smiled though the boy couldn't see it [Meanwhile unknown to Harry several of a bearded old wizards odd trinkets exploded]. They separated and Hedwig hooted approvingly from Harry's shoulder. The strange trio left in a whirl of black smoke arriving at a 3 storey building called 'The Crossroads'.

The Wanderer had it built for his family soon after he found Bo again, as a place for them to meet up and stay at times; Bo still preferring the 'crack shack' simply for all the good memories though here was nicer and had better facilities so was here often. Like today when she heard a whoosh and ran in to see her father with a young teenage boy and a snowy owl. She shook her head 'It's gonna be one of those days isn't it?' she asked to nobody and predictably got no reply 'So Dad who's the kid?' she asked not viciously more curiously. 'Well Bo, remember when I told you I had a child in England I couldn't get to, this is him' He lead his 2 confused children into the living room 'Harry this is your sister Ysabeau /Bo Dennis/McTaggert, the famously unaligned succubus, Bo this is Harry a currently unaligned Highbreed Wraith'

TBC

LW: Well that's going well, see you soon

Kenzi: Hey people, good news; hopeful Bobo/Doctor Hot pants moments in future chapters as well as other HP characters turning out to be fae. See yah hoes!

LW: Please ignore the crazy girl, bye!

Comments: Until Lost Girl shows us the Wanderer's face my Wanderer looks like Edward Norton from 'The Illusionist', don't like come up with own idea, or just ignore my thoughts, kinda like most ME fans and unsuited Quarians.

Basic idea of the wraith is from Stargate Atlantis but not completely. So anyone familiar with them will be happy to know Harry most likely won't be going on a huge killing spree anytime soon { }

Writing the Wanderer every time rather than a name makes me feel like I'm writing a DW fic (Except Wanderer rather than Doctor and/or Master, but still point is it will stay like that because similarly no name is worthy of replacing it)
