I have gone through the story and tried to find all the spelling mistakes. I plan to update all the chapters with the corrected copy. Any more found that I missed will be fixed if pointed out. A reviewer pointed out making line breaks in the story to make it easier to read. After looking over it I agreed and have gone back and done so. Thank You.
Chapter One-Discovering Betrayal
Harry Potter stared at the letter in horror. After the disaster that was the Department of Mysteries' and the death of Sirius the last thing he needed was betrayal. Harry read the letter from Fred and George once more.
Harry, little brother.
How are you dealing? Please sit down when you read this. We overheard Dumbledore talking with mum and dad. Someone else was with them.
Harry, little brother it was Sirius. He faked his death. Something about you not been trustworthy and sensible enough not to run off into danger all the time. It's crazy little brother but that's not the worst of it. Mum, dad and Sirius were talking to Dumbledore about marrying you to Ginny to get more control over you.
Please little brother; don't do anything insane we are making a plan at the moment. We just thought to give you some fore warning.
Stay safe until we get back to you.
Love Gred and Forge.
Harry felt tears swell in his eyes. 'Why would they do this to me?' he thought mournfully. It had been almost six weeks since Hogwarts let out. For all this time Harry had mourned his godfather and cursed his own stupidity. He had known where most of the blame lay and now this. 'Why?'
Dear Gred and Forge.
Thank you for your letter.
As much as it hurt to read I needed to know. Don't worry I have no plans to do anything stupid. Well maybe I do. I have a meeting in the alley to-morrow. It's apparently about my inheritance. I will meet you there hopefully.
Your heartbroken little brother
Harry.
It had been a week since Harry got the letter from the Twins and a day since his reply. The green-eyed wizard was now in Diagon Alley waiting outside Gringotts Wizarding Bank. He was expecting the Twins since the reply he got last night stated 'see you at Gringotts'.
Harry was nervous about the upcoming meeting and thusly was relieved when the Twins arrived. Fred and George pulled Harry into a tight hug when they got up to him.
"Missed you little bro" they coursed as one. Harry responded with a sad smile his mind going back to the letter from the Twins.
"Well let's go see what this meeting is about, yeah" murmured Harry as he entered the bank. As one the group entered and headed for the nearest teller. After waiting ten minutes they got to a free counter.
"I would like to speak to the head of the Potter accounts please" asked Harry polity. Though shocked at how polite a wizard was to the goblins the one behind the counter did not show it. He nodded his agreement and called another goblin over. A quick conversation in gobbledygook saw Harry and the Twins been led into a private office labeled 'Accounts Management'.
The office Harry was led into was beautifully done. It was white marble like the rest of the building with woven silk tapestries depicting important points in Goblin History. The ground was smooth marble with soft rugs under the furniture so as not to damage the floor. The furniture itself was a deep mahogany colour with carefully carved flower and vine motifs done into it. The chairs also had silk cushions and gold and silver inlays. There was a large book-case taking up most of one wall with equally large filing cabinets beside it. On the other side of the room was a seating area with two high back chairs and a divan. All in all the room looked amazing in Harry's opinion. The goblin in the chair behind the table rose when Harry and company entered.
"Hello, my name is Sharpclaw" the goblin introduced himself.
"Hello I am Harry and these are Fred and George" replied Harry, "is it okay if they to sit in on this meeting with us." The goblin nodded his agreement as he went to get the Potter files from the appropriate cabinet.
"Right well let's get down to business " said Sharpclaw, "what we have here is your parents will which states you are to get the Potter Lordship at sixteen instead off seventeen".
"Wait, my parents made a will? What does it say? May I read it please?" inquired Harry. Sharpclaw nodded as he handed over the appropriate pages. Harry read what followed in shock along with the Twins.
This is the last will and testament of James Mason Potter and Lily Marie Potter Nee Evans.
If this has been read before Voldemort's death and we were still in hiding at the time then we were betrayed. Counter to popular belief Sirius was not our secret keeper. That was Peter Pettigrew. He is a rat animagus and was made secret keeper by Albus Dumbledore at Siri's insistence.
If our Harry is still young when this has taken place, then we wish to ensure he is well taken care of. In the following order we wish Harry's guardianship to be:
Sirius Black (godfather).
Remus Lupin (family friend).
Alice Longbottom (godmother) and family.
Severus Snape (childhood friend of Lily).
Andromeda Tonks Nee Black (favoured cousin of Siri).
A loving magical family.
Under no circumstances what so ever is our little Harry to go to Petunia Dursley Nee Evans and her family. We understand Petunia's fear of magic and it would be unfair to her and her family to ask her to care for Harry.
What followed this was the bequeathing of various amounts of money to various people. Harry was furious when he read that he was not meant to go to his aunt.
"Why was the will not read sooner? Why was I sent to my aunt when it clearly states that was not to happen?" demanded Harry when he got over the shock.
"The will was sealed right away by Albus Dumbledore" calmly replied Sharpclaw.
From that point on the meeting went swiftly down-hill. Harry learned not only did Dumbledore ignore his parents wish as to where he was meant to go but also, from when Harry was at the age of ten, taking money from his vaults and gifting it to the Weasley family. The Twins promptly swore they knew nothing of it. Harry knew the Twins were telling the truth as Sharpclaw confirmed their claim of Sirius still been alive.
"Is there some way I can discover the true degree of my inheritance?" asked Harry.
"Yes, a simple drop of your blood on this page shall do just that" said Sharpclaw producing the spelled parchment," it will also state if you have any magical blocks or potions in your system"
Harry took the offered pin and pricked his finger. He let a drop fall on the page. The three wizards and one goblin present watched as writing filled the page.
The page read:
Harry James Potter: son of James and Lily Potter
Head of the Most Ancient and Noble House Potter
Heir of the Most Ancient and Noble House Black
Heir of the Most Ancient and Noble House Slytherin
Heir of House Peverell
1/3 Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes
Magical Blocks
Magical block of 50%- cast by: Albus Dumbledore
Mind magic block 90%- cast by: Albus Dumbledore
Magical focus block 75%- cast by: Albus Dumbledore
Potions in System
Growth stunt potion- administered by: Albus Dumbledore
Eye-sight demising potion- administered by: Albus Dumbledore
Development suppressing potion- administered by: Albus Dumbledore
Harry growled at the sight of the page and Dumbledore actions.
"Congratulations, when you claim your inheritance you will be quite wealthy" proclaimed Sharpclaw. The Twins whistled at that.
"What can be done about the blocks and potions if anything?" asked Harry his voice tight with anger.
"For a small fee Gringotts is willing to remove them otherwise you will have to get a healer" swiftly responded Sharpclaw.
"Do it" commanded Harry sharply
Three hours later Harry was gazing in a full length mirror shocked. Gone was the scrawny boy who barely reached 5"5' with messy black hair and round broken glasses hiding Avada Kadavra green eyes. Harry now stood at 5"11', with long black hair littered with red and green reaching the base of his shoulders, bright killing-curse eyes visible and no longer needing his glasses. A brief smile touched Harry's blood-red lips. Harry glanced at the Twins over his shoulder in the mirror. At 6"1' they weren't much taller than him now. Both had red hair brushing their shoulders and devious blue eyes against pale freckled skin. Harry's own skin was a touch darker with a healthy tan from working for his relatives.
"Now that that has been sorted out would you like to claim you family rings" chuckled Sharpclaw, "by doing so you will be able to cut Dumbledore from your vaults". Harry smirked as he nodded his agreement.
"Right, so all you have to do is put these three rings on your finger. Magic will do the rest." Sharpclaw informed Harry.
Harry calmly picked the first ring, it was gold with a ruby P set in the band, and placed it on his middle finger on the left hand. It promptly resized to fit him. The next ring was silver with an emerald S. Again when placed on his middle finger it shrunk and merged with the Potter ring. The last ring was onyx with red and green veins. This ring was placed upon his left pinkie as it was too small for any other finger. Harry smiled as all three rings accepted him.
"Congratulations Lord Potter, you are now legally emancipated in the eyes of magic" cackled Sharpclaw. Harry and the Twins snickered also.
Harry couldn't help but wonder how Dumbledore would feel when he realized he could no longer access the Potter vaults. 'Serves him right' thought Harry bitterly.
After Gringotts, Harry and the Twins headed back to Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes.
"So Harry happy sweet sixteenth" snickered the Twins as they handed Harry a book on magical schools and a special one-of-a-kind case filled with their products. Harry merely smiled and set about choosing a room to stay in as he had told the Dursley's he would remain in London and with the Twins.
Chapter Two- Sweet Escape
"I've got it" screamed Harry bounding down the stairs toward the Twins, "let's move. That way we don't have to worry about the bumblebee and his loyal traitoring sheep. Well what do you think?"
"That's brilliant but what about school?" asked Fred already plotting and scheming with this new idea. 'It could be beneficial for Harry to get away' he thought whilst filled with concern for his 'little brother'.
"I will transfer. Can we do it please?" pleaded Harry with large green bambi eyes. At the sight of his eyes the Twins promptly melted and agreed with him. Over the course of the next two weeks the trio planned and researched different schools for Harry to attend. Finally they settled on one in New Zealand on the other side of the world called Mystic Academy of the Magical Arts. George sent off an inquiry about whether they take transfers this late under an alias for himself and Harry.
Harry came down on a Monday to find an unfamiliar owl in front of him. Upon seeing Harry the owl offered his leg with a thick envelope attached to it. It was addressed to him and stamped MAMA. Harry called the Twins as he eagerly opened the letter.
Dear Mr Taylen Mason.
We at Mystic Academy of the Magical Arts are pleased to offer you a spot in our school. Though it is rare we do accept transfers as long as they can keep up with our workload. We look forward to having you in our school in the coming fall.
Yours Sincerely
Mavric Sinclare
Headmaster
P.S Included with this letter is a list of required items, books and clothing for the school. Also included is the prospectus for the school and a portkey to the local magical town Mystic Valley where everything stated can be acquired.
Harry beamed with happiness after reading the letter out loud.
George grinned as he said," looks like we are going to have to buy a house now. We should probably inquire with the goblins while we see about accessing our money while in New Zealand". Harry and Fred nodded in agreement. Fred suggested going now so that everything is prepared and they are all gone before the Order and Dumbles notice Harry missing.
When the trio entered Gringotts they were pleased to note it was almost empty. Harry walked up to a teller and requested to speak with Sharpclaw. They were once again led into his lavish office.
"What can I do to help you now Lord Potter?" inquired Sharpclaw.
"We are leaving for New Zealand and were wondering if there is any way we can get access to our accounts? I was also hoping to do some shopping in the muggle world so would need money changed over. And finally the area we are hoping to move to is Mystic Valley so we need to know if there is any property available to rent or buy there?" explained Harry.
"Well to the first two issues raised I can give you a type of debit card linked directly to a vault belonging to you that can be used in both the magical and muggle regardless of where you are in the world. As for property available in Mystic Valley I would have to look into it. It shouldn't take more than thirty minutes so if you would like to fill out these forms for the debit card I can get someone on about the property right away." responded Sharpclaw.
"Would I be able to set up a new vault under the name Taylen Mason? And one for the Twins under Fredrickson and Georgegino Pavel please with the money transferred from the Potter accounts and the Twins own accounts too?" added Harry.
"Of course please fill out these forms and everything shall be as requested." was the answer. Forty-five minutes later the trio left the bank with their new accounts, new debit cards specially tuned to their magical signature and a nice new five bedroom, four bathroom house bought unseen with three house-elves in.
"Well, let's go shopping. I need a new wardrobe" chirped Harry happily.
"To muggle London" proclaimed the Twins before falling into a fit of giggles. With that announcement the trio headed for the Leaky Cauldron and from there London. After browsing a few shops Harry found one called 'Attitude'. Harry and the Twins eagerly entered. They found a wide assortment of clothing from dress pants, ripped jeans and tight leather pants to silk shirts with designs, hoodies and t-shirts with sharp remarks to leather jackets.
Harry happily bought jeans (ripped and not), some dress pants and a lovely pair of leather pants that in the right light looked green. Harry and the Twins happily read the comments on some of the tops and bought more than their fair share. Harry's favourite by far was 'I'M SORRY I DIDN'T SEE YOU. I WAS TO BUSY BEEN FAMOUS!'. The Twins agreed it was very good. After they were done shopping including getting the necessities like socks and underwear they headed back to the Twins shop.
Two days later the trio were all set to leave. It was not a moment too soon as just as the portkey activated Dumbles and the Order burst in. Harry collapsed with laughter at the stunned looks on the Order's faces. The Twins were hardly in a better condition than Harry was. After ten minutes of laughing the three pulled themselves up off the grass they were on.
"Care to share the joke?" asked an amused voice from behind. The three whipped around whilst drawing their wands and promptly faltered. Before them stood the most stunning male they had ever saw (and they knew Lucius Malfoy). He was an impressive 6"6', with long midnight black hair to his waist with gentle silvery highlights, full blood-red lips and the most captivating purple eyes against alabaster white skin. Intriguingly his eyes had white pupils and slightly pointed ears were poking from the long folds of his hair. He was wearing a silk red and purple Chinese styled top with straight black silk trousers and polished black shoes.
The stranger tilted his head to the side causing the three to notice the bells woven throughout his hair as they jingled with his movement.
Harry snickered and said," I know a girl who wears bells in her hair at Christmas." The strange male laughed at this comment drawing notice to his slight fangs.
"Soooooo, who are you?" asked the Twins carefully. The stranger giggled.
"Me? Why I am Mavric Sinclare and school starts in a week Mr Mason, Mr Pavel and Mr Pavel." replied Harry's new headmaster. 'Well, damn' thought Harry. Mavric took the time the three took to digest this news to look over the three. Today Harry was wearing a yellow top that read 'IF ANYONE ASKS I WAS WITH YOU!' coupled with faded navy jeans with rips on the sides and black and silver runners. The Twins were wearing identical red silk shirts with black leather trousers with an emerald snake going up the side and red converse shoes. After he was through with his perusal he glanced up at the three to see if they were out of their shock yet. Thankfully they were and were currently scrutinizing him.
"See something you like?" he giggled.
"Yeah your top. Loving the flowered pattern. Real manly." quipped Harry to the groups' amusement.
"Well then shall we head out and get settled in?" asked Mavric with a smile. The three followed him down the road to the town below.
"At the other end of the main road on this path are the gates that lead up to Mystic Academy. Of the street to your left is Craven Courtyard which is a place for leisure with street stalls and restaurants. Beyond that is Clare view road which is a haven for book stores and stationary. It also has a pet store called Richards Rare Familiars. It has an excellent selection of rare and exotic animals. Taking a right of the main street leads to Maple Gardens and Serpents Hollow our residential areas. I believe you three bought No. One Serpents Hollow. It is a lovely little manor that has been left empty for too long. Pity really." explained Mavric excitedly.
"Chatty little one isn't he Gred?" said George to Fred.
"Indeed he is Forge" replied Fred. Mavric couldn't help but flush at this comment as it was quite true.
"Well then all I have left to say before leaving you to settle in is this. Welcome to Mystic Valley" exclaimed Mavric with a grand sweep of his arm. Beyond his arm was Mystic Lane the Main Street of the town and far beyond that The Academy. It truly was a beautiful sight to behold. Far more beautiful than Diagon Alley as though the alley was well-lit the stores themselves were quite dull to behold aside from Gringotts. "And before I leave you may I just say 'Welcome Home'" finished Mavric before apperating away.
'Welcome Home indeed' thought the trio as they gazed upon their new home town so vastly different from where they each grew up. With bright smiles the three headed into their new home and their new future.
