Harry Potter and the Freedom from Manipulation

It was the summer between 3rd and 4th year. I had just gotten off of the Hogwarts Express in London when Hermione followed me to my aunt and uncle and asked them something that, well, it shocked me.

"Is it alright if Harry stays at my home for the summer?" she asked. Vernon looked at her like she had grown two heads. Petunia answered for him,

"Yes, that's fine dear." Ok, I knew then and there was something wrong. Hermione grabbed my hand and pulled me away.

"Wait, Mione, what did you do? They would never have let me go away for the summer normally," I asked her.

"Really?" she replied, "I thought it was normal." I stared at her.

"Well it wasn't," I responded.

"Hermione, is this the boy you were telling us about," a woman asked as we walked up to them.

"Yes Melinda, this is Harry, Harry, these are my adopted parents, Melinda Gordon and Jim Clancy, yes I know I'm not a muggle-born, but until I find my real parents I will let everyone think I am. Come on now, let's go," Mione said.

We walked out of the station and to the car, which was a Mustang. I stopped and stared. "This is your car?" I managed to ask. "Yes," Melinda said.

"Mel, Professor Lupin asked me to bring Harry to Gringotts, if he was going to stay with me, the very first second I could. So, can we stop by there?" Mione asked.

"Of course," Jim said driving toward the Leaky Cauldron. As we got to the dingy pub Jim parked the car and we went inside and towards the bank.

"Oh good, you were able to make it," Professor Lupin said as we walked up to him.

"What is this all about professor?" Mel asked.

"Hello. You must be Hermione's parents. Very bright girl you have there. Now we must hurry, Griphook is waiting on us," he responded.

"Oh thank you, but Hermione, well, we adopted her," Mel said as we rushed into the bank.

"What?" Professor Lupin asked, but alas he couldn't get an answer as we ran up to a goblin, who had a black, shaggy dog next to him.

"Ah, I was beginning to think you weren't coming. Mister Potter and guests, this way please," Griphook said heading off to the office areas. We followed him to the office labeled; "Head of the Nation" Mione looked at the door confused.

"Wait, but, what" she stuttered and Lupin said, "Not out here," and pushed us to the door and in.

"Ah, welcome, welcome. I am Lord Ragnarok, leader of the Goblin Nation and Director of Gringotts, now Mr. Potter, Miss Granger, would you two be so kind as to put three drops of blood on this paper, the blue one, and three on this gold one," the Director asked. We did as he asked and then we waited an hour and a half until the results were in, as we waited the black shaggy dog turned into Sirius, my falsely imprisoned godfather, the blue paper results seemed to make the Director very angry, but the gold ones, well, they seemed to SHOCK him.

"Um, Director, what are these for," Jim asked politely.

"Oh, yes, the blue paper detects any block or curse on the one whose blood it is and the gold tells us any Houses they are entitled to be the Heir of. I will now read off Mr. Potter's curse and block results."
