Dursley's Number 4 Privet Drive 11:50 pm July 30
In the smallest room in number 4 privet drive a bloody and broken boy with black hair and dull green eyes the were once bright and alive with life and happiness lay looking and waiting for midnight to strike for his 16th birthday. He was loath to go to sleep for fear of waking his uncle and having to endure another beating or worse. Ever since his godfather died at the Department of Mysteries his nightmares have gotten worse and was waking every one in the house which caused his uncle to get angry and add to it that his uncle had been threatened by the order at Kings Cross station and that things at his uncle's job was bad; it didn't help to be his uncle's only release for it all. Every thing that seemed to go wrong his family blamed him. So this summer was the worst summer holiday he had started Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
After school had ended his friends hadn't written him back but he sent owls to them every 3 days as he was suppose to but left out how his family really treated him. The only noted he got were from Dumbledore telling him to stay in the house where he was safe. Yeah right safe. Since he found out what it was that Voldimont wanted at the D.O.M. he has been mad at the meddling old fool for not telling him sooner of the prophecy and keeping something that determined if he lived or died before he graduated Hogwarts.
5 minuets before the clock struck midnight there was a tapping at the window looking up he saw an owl getting up and letting the owl in it dropped the letter it was carrying on the bed and went to Hedwig's cage to rest. Shutting the window and picking up the letter eagerly and setting on the bed he looked it over. It looked old yet new on the front it said
To: Mr. Harry Potter
From the Ministry of Magic Department of Wills and Documents
Open the envelope and taking out the first letter he read:
Dear Mr. Potter
I was told to send you this letter with all your information about your Inheritance. Usually we do not send them till after their 16th Birthday but your parents requested that 5 minuets before midnight of your 16th birthday do to special circumstances. Congratulations and Happy Birthday.
Sincerely,
Gage Thomson
Head of the Ministry of Magic
Department of Wills and Documents
As Harry finished the last line he had to go back to reread the letter to make sure he had read it right. Why would his mum and dad want him to get his Inheritance letter 5 minuets before his birthday? Looking though the envelope he found the letter from his parents on the font it said:
To our loving son
Bringing tears to his eyes but pushing them back he opened the letter and began to read:
Dear Son,
Oh my darling child if you have received this letter then that means we are dead. We are so sorry that we left you alone in the world but hopefully you are loved and cherished by whomever you are with. We left this letter to be delivered to you incase we didn't get the chance to tell you ourselves. You my son are a Dark Veela.
Your father is/was a Dark Veela and I am/was his mate (soul mate) .You are probably wondering about what a Dark Veela is. D.V. are a lot like light vela but have a darker complexion and are said to be more powerful then any other veela or magical creatures. Nobody knows that the Potter line is full of D.V.'s. The wizardering world believes that D.V.'s are extinct. D.V's are very rare. When a D.V. finds it's mate they will become extremely stronger both magically and emotionally then when they 1st came into their inheritance. It has been reported that some D.V.'s have a mate that is a Light Veela but is very rarely seen.
If your mate is male one of you will be able to become pregnant to carry on the family line. I must warn you now veela only have 1 mate for life and once they find their mate they cannot live without them. The veela will do anything to win their mates love. If a veela does not find its mate by the age of 18 before the mating season or it will start to loose its power. Veela are also very possessive of the mates and will hurt or kill anyone who tries to take them away. A veela does not have a chance to pick their mate they are picked for them. You will know who your mate is by their smell. Once you smell them you will do anything within your power to find them and claim them. You will have to bond with them physically, mentally, and spiritually. You will form a connection that once it is fully established cannot be broken. I wish you the best of luck but I must go your father is trying to rock you to sleep and tell you stories of when he was in school. We want you to know that no matter what we will always love you and be proud of you.
With all our love,
Mom and Dad
As he finished reading the letter he realized he was crying. He was also stunned that he was a D.V. A magical being. A strong being at that. Just then the clock struck midnight and Harry started feeling a burning sensation all though out his body. It felt as if his body was burning from the inside out. When after what felt like hours but was only a minuet the pain stopped. Leaving Harry panting and struggling to regain his strength. After a couple of minuets he started feeling better actually feeling great he couldn't feel any of the pain from earlier that night when he checked he didn't see any blood or cuts and he seemed taller somehow. Walking over to his wardrobe to look in the full sized mirror. He was shocked by what he saw his hair was still messy but more of a sexy ruffled messy, his eyes seemed to glow with mysteries green more then the naive green they used to be. But there still seemed to hold a kind of innocence that could be used to trick and allure people. He also noticed he no longer needed glasses. He was a couple inches taller to where he seemed to be about 5'10 – 5'11 and his skin seemed to glow a golden color more then the tan he had from working outside and from Quidditch.
He seemed to move with the grace of a panther/ cat then a gangly teenager. He turned away from the mirror and walked back to his bed were he picked up on of the other letters that were in the envelope. This one had info on his vaults, how much money was in their and any other valuables that were being held. The next letter explained about all the estates that he now owned, altogether he had 20 different homes/houses that, by what the letter said, his parents never got the chance to visit them and keep some and sell the others. After reading and thinking about everything that has happened in the last 5 years he decided to go ahead with his plan to run away, to where he didn't know.
So gathering up all the papers/documents and putting them in the backpack that he had packed and stored away for this occasion. Double-checking to make sure he had his vault keys, clothes, and all other items that could never be replaced. Sending a note with Hedwig and telling her to stay with Hermione he left and never once looked back.
After walking half way to London he found a place to relax till morning were he would go to Diagon Ally. Maybe by then he would find a way to hid his scar and appearance so he wouldn't be discovered and taken back to the Dursley's.
After waking and making himself look like a common street urchin he started off to London. By 1 o'clock he had reached London, ate and was on his way to the Leaky Caldron to Diagon Ally. Walking in to the L.C. nobody even looked at him as he made his way to the back to get to D.A. Once there he taped the bricks with his wand to open the door way and headed straight to Gringotts trying to bring very little attention to himself. When he entered Gringotts he walked up to a goblin at a desk.
"Can I help you sir." The goblin asked
"Yes, I would like to talk to the owner or a high manger please." Harry said.
"Wait one moment please." With that the goblin walked away and came back a few minuet latter. "Please follow me sir."
Getting up and following him to an elevator they went up to the top floor. Once there he followed the goblin to the office that said:
Mr. Inverse CEO
The doors open to reveal al large office with a man sitting behind a large desk.
"Mr. Inverse, Mr. Potter to see you sir."
"Ah! Yes, Mr. Potter do come in and have a seat. So how can I help you today?" asked Mr. Inverse.
"I would like to switch everything in my vaults over to new vaults without anyone finding out if that is possible."
"Of course Mr. Potter it will be done but may I ask why you would want to?"
"I would like to for the fact that to many people know what my vault number is and some of them can easily get into it. So as you can see it is for security reasons that this be done."
"Ok. Let me just go get the paper work and you can be on your way."
"Thank you."
With that Mr. Inverse got up and left the office to get the proper paper work leaving Harry there smirking and happy to have control of his life and finally leave Dumbledor's clutches once and for all.
