Here's the first chapter. I hope you like it. Please read and review love Hermione x

Vernon woke up a smile on his face. Things were going great for him right now in his life. Dudley had cut his second last tooth thank god and so the awful teething stage was almost over. He leaned over and kissed Petunia senseless and climbed out of bed going into the next room to check on Dudley. Dudley was awake by now gurgling up at him with a toothy smile on his chubby little face. Petunia climbed out of bed slipping on her slippers and dressing gown as she ambled next door to get Dudley from his cot as Vernon got ready for another day of work at Grunning's Drills where he'd worked for the last twelve or so years. Petunia carried Dudley downstairs and placed him in his high chair while she readied the breakfast.

Vernon came down and opened the door to get the milk where he promptly screamed as Petunia rushed out into the hall to see what the problem was. There was little Harry Potter in his basket, letter attached cooing at them. Vernon reached in to grab the letter but stopped as he heard Petunia.

"Vernon no! Do not and I mean not touch that letter at all. I'd know that writing anywhere. Albus Dumbledore is the name of the man who left it here. Suffice it to say he sent Lily a letter once and I can't remember what it said but the second she touched it her whole view of us changed. She wanted nothing more to do with us but said it was for our safety and no other reason. The last time we all saw her she surprised us by turning up pregnant and married to James Potter no less. I kept the letter he gave her in a file always hoping to understand it but I couldn't. All I know is that it was charmed in some way. Sister's talk and we always did. She went off to her boarding school and I went off to mine. We'd meet up every summer and while I was jealous she was a witch I learned to get on with her all the same. Mum insisted I always know about her world in case she got sick and couldn't take Lily to Diagon Alley herself. She said I must know these things so I could take her there easily in mum's absence. Lily hated James Potter with a passion. She said he always bullied everyone and even said once she'd rather die than be the wife of a bigoted bully who saw no harm in cursing those he believed to be below him. That letter made her marry him of this I'm sure. I think it's time we call in your old army friend!" she said seriously as they picked up the basket bringing everything inside.

"Well Petunia what you don't know about Donny is that he is one of them. He chose to leave their world but his is indeed magical and gave me a way to get him to come here very quickly I'll send for him now!" he said going into the back of the hot press and removing a box with an amulet inside it. He pushed the button on the amulet and this man arrived moments later in a swish of purple colours.

"Hello Vernie old boy I am assuming you needed me here for some important reason. Please elaborate" he said calmly sitting down on the couch before giving the baby in the basket a weird look.

"Hello John Petunia needs to talk to you about something which happened a few years ago and then something which happened this morning!" he said gesturing to Petunia who told her story to him again.

"Well Petunia this is fascinating. Do you still have that letter?" he asked as she nodded that it was in the attic. With a swift wave of his wand it was in his hands. He levitated it and scanned it before gasping.

"This letter is indeed embedded with various charms aimed solely at your sister Lily. One to make her love everything she hates about a certain James Potter and have him return the feelings. Another making her want to flee from her family due to hating them all but wanting them to remain safe none the less. Hmm this is a charm making the two of you hate everything about one another irrationally. Now I can see it was activated by touch and I can see that you have another letter from Dumbledore here. Dearest lord this truly is Harry Potter. Let's see what this one holds! Ok there are many touch based charms here to make you hate the boy, neglect the boy, abuse him and generally make him fear for his life on a constant basis. There are charms to make you accept large amounts of money from his personal vaults without his parent's consent. This young baby is responsible for the death of Lord Voldermort who is the one responsible for the death of Lily and James as well as many others. He is a hero in our world. I think you know what we need to do next Vernon!" he said pointedly looking at Vernon who exhaled loudly.

Petunia looked between the two men unsure of what to think. "What's he talking about Vernon? What do we need to do?" she asked as Vernon looked regretfully at her.

"I am sorry Petunia but we'll need to leave this house and our names behind. Either that or we can stay in this house and he can make us magically appear different with different names and no memories of our previous lives. The national database would say that both Petunia and Vernon Dursley were aliases used by national married criminals to avoid detection. We would be making everyone believe that they have been captured and are now in a high security prison for crimes too heinous to talk about ever again. I know that if we don't this Dumbledore man will stop at nothing to get to us. Also as you no doubt by now realise Harry Potter cannot stay here with us for it is too dangerous!" he said as she started to cry.

Her whole life was about to change in an instant. She actually had friends now although there weren't many of them they were still hers. What would she do without them? Looking at the baby in the basket with a sense of firm resentment she soon realised it wasn't his fault and to blame him would be unfair.

"We'll need to change of that I have no doubt but first we need to see that Harry here is in an appropriate place. We need to see your governor or whatever you call him at once!" she said as he smiled at her.

"I will take us there now. His name is Cornelius Fudge like the candy and he's our Minister of Magic!" he said as they all including Harry and Dudley left and ended up in his office making him shriek.

"Who are you?" he called out nervously.

"My name is Petunia Dursley and I am the sister of the late Lily Potter. I need you to understand that Albus Dumbledore cannot know we are here because well….he'll tell you why!" she said pointing at John who smiled at the minister before explaining everything.

"I can safely say minister if he made her do those things what else did he make her do. How did she die?" he asked as the Minister looked very serious indeed.

"Well she died because Sirius Black is a death eater and told Voldemort where they were living leading to their demise and the demise of Peter Pettigrew and fifteen muggles!" he said shocked when John called out.

"That's a lie! Sirius Black was burnt off his own family tree by his deranged mother because he wouldn't become a death eater like she wanted him to. He wasn't a death eater and this I know. He was a dear friend to me. I knew James, Remus and Peter more than they sometimes realised. I will tell you honestly the only thing Sirius Black is genuinely guilty of is not registering as an animagus with Peter Pettigrew. Peter was a rat. Have you checked his life orb? Is he really dead?" he asked as the minister called for the orb which showed him to still be very much alive.

"Summon him here at once or I will press so many charges minister your head will spin. Where is Sirius now? Ask his mother if you don't believe me!" he said as Petunia and Vernon watched the exchange in awe. Just how corrupt was this government?

Mrs Walburga Black was summoned so came at once.

"Minister this is an extreme honour. To what do I owe this summons?" she asked politely a little bit in awe that the minister for magic himself wanted an audience with her.

"I know you kicked Sirius Black out of the family tree. In fact you burned him off. It doesn't matter but I need to know why?" he said as she suddenly looked thunderous.

"How dare you? I'll have you know he wasn't in Slytherin like I wanted him to be and to top it off he wouldn't even follow our Lord Voldemort like Reggie did. Reggie will always be the better and indeed only son I ever have and you minister saying anything of the sort to anyone will only result in disaster. I will do what I see fit with my own family and you will not dictate to me!" she shouted before thanking him and leaving at once.

After a while of waiting Lily and James will was unsealed and read by all present. Sirius was finally given a trial after his three days in jail for a crime he didn't commit. After an extensive search and some dark magic usage Peter was found and sent through the veil for his crimes. Sirius Black was given an order of Merlin first class but this was only made public after he was given totally and full magical custody of Harry Potter. He was delighted his ordeal was now over but furious when he realised what Dumbledore had tried to do. He was in for a huge shock the next time he went to the bank that's one sure thing and he'd be going in a few hours after everything had been sorted. Once everyone knew in the Wizengamot what Dumbledore had tried to do they were furious and so could understand why he was not present.

Petunia, Dudley and Vernon Dursley became Elizabeth, Damian and Trevor Morgan. They remained at number four Privet Drive looking much younger and tanned. They couldn't have looked like the Dursley's now had they tried. They were now free to live the life they wanted. Back at the ministry Sirius finally saw Harry again for the first time in days and swore on his life to protect the tot. He went with the boy to the bank to have his health checked.

"Hello good goblin and may your vaults always flow with gold and the blood of your enemy in a river at your feet. I am here to get a health check on my godson. It is of a sensitive nature and I know that if I took him elsewhere there'd be too many questions. This is Harry Potter. Please look in my memory at what happened and you'll understand why I am here!" he said as the goblin did just that.

"Yes Sirius Black I can see that you needed to come here. We've been needing to see you for a while actually about something different altogether. However we'll deal with this first and that next as it's very important. Now follow me and we'll get him checked out. We can tell you the status of his core, any spells on his person and even how his general health is. Ok now place him on the bed here and let's begin!" he said scanning him. Harry glowed blue for a moment as a parchment appeared over his head which the goblin grabbed.

"What does it say?" asked Sirius who was watching the smiling tot in joy.

"It says that his core is at twenty five percent and nearly depleted but given what he's just been through this is to be expected. There is a potion he can take to correct it at once which we'll be giving him in a while. There are charms on him which make no sense. One of them by Dumbledore is to insure he always needs glasses even though he doesn't. We will remove it at once. He's been fed loyalty potions which mean he'll believe anything the first wizarding person he meets tells him. This could be very dangerous as it is likely he'd meet Rubeus Hagrid or someone silly first who could feed him a load of lies and have him believe them. Also he has a serious problem with his scar which could get worse if it's not fixed within the next few weeks. We'll need to see about the other things first which shouldn't take long" he said putting the things they'd need into a baby bottle which was fed to Harry who was so hungry he wolfed it down in minutes.

When that was gone his core was at one hundred percent, he no longer needed glasses and the loyalty potions were now gone. "We'll need to cut open his scar and see what's wrong with it because we've detected serious problems with it. Using special Goblin methods we can figure out what it is quickly" he said rubbing some salve onto the scar and chanting as it sunk in. When it appeared to be gone he cut it open and Sirius could see that Harry wasn't at all reacting. Obviously it was numbing cream of sorts. When he cut it open fully much to their amazement there were seven dark green almost black threads coming from his scar going deep into the bank and beyond as far as the eye could see.

"What the hell are those things?" asked Sirius feeling a sense of immense disgust. The goblin looked exceptionally pale and looked at him in shock.

"To which house did you belong in Hogwarts?" he asked cautiously.

"I was in Gryffindor!" he said wondering what that had to do with anything.

"I need you to be brave now braver then you've ever been in your whole life. I need the sword of Gryffindor right now. Please summon it to you. I believe in you. I believe you can do it for him!" he said gesturing to Harry who only had half an hour of numbness left. Sirius frowned. He didn't really believe he could do it but then he thought of his mothers' angry face and her shouting at him about he should have been in Slytherin and wasn't brave enough for Gryffindor and he never would be either. He screwed his eyes shut tightly to erase the painful memories from his mind.

Before he knew what was happening the sword was in his hand as the goblin took it from him. "I don't know what you did but it worked. I'm going to put some basilisk venom on it as we need it to be as strong as it can be. I'll attempt to quickly slash or sever each tie to him" he said as he did so. Each tie screamed out wailing black stuff when it was severed. By the end they had to get some phoenix tears to heal him. After the ordeals he'd been through he was currently asleep much to the relief of them both. Sirius was lead into an office to the side.

"Sit down we need to discuss your family"…..
