Harry Potter ordinary life
Chapter 1
Mr. and Mrs. Dursley of number four, Privet Drive, were proud to say that they were perfectly normal, thank you very much. So understand their confusion when, one morning, they found a one year old Baby on their Doorstep. The Baby was non other then Petunia Dursleys nephew. Petunia Dursley neé Evans had a younger sister. A sister with a special talent or so her Parents had put it. Petunia could't care less. Her sister was a Witch. Now Petunia didn't hate her Sister for that no she simply didn't care. When Petunia met Vernon and moved away she didn't try to keep in contact with her Sister. She didn't care that her sister was now dead and left her only son behind for her to take care of. After reading the letter they carried Baby Harry inside. They knew that Harry would be like his Parents...magical, but they didn't care. They also knew that whoever placed Harry with them was keeping an eye on them, so they decided to raise him. The years went by and Harry grew up to live an ordinary life.
The Dursleys didn't give him much, unlike his Cousin Dudley whom they spoiled rotten, no they gave him enough to keep him alive and out of the eyes of child service. They normally ignored him. Harry was a very bright Child so naturally when he started school he was in the top five in his year. Dudley bullied him for that but Dudley bullied nearly everyone. Harry learned fast that in order to get away from his Family he needed to go to a good secondary School and to get there he not only needed good grades but he needed to be physically fit. That's why he joined the Football team in his second year. He was a midfielder.
When Harry was eight he had to do a Family tree for School. So he went to his Aunt to get some information. She told him everything she remembered and gave him some pictures. She wasn't really secretive about him being a Wizard but she made it clear that he could't tell anyone. Harry was shocked at this new information but thought that it didn't really change much. What he didn't understand was how someone could leave a one year old on a Doorstep in the middle of the night in November. What he also didn't understand was that not one of his Parents friends had visited him. From his Aunt he found out that his Parents had quite a few and that he had Godparents. He was also curious about the fact that his Parents had aplenty not left a Will. Petunia told him that there is a Bank for wizards that he could try and, as she had to go to London the next day anyway, she told him that he could tag along. That night Harry lay on his bed in the smallest Bedroom thinking. He didn't knew what to expect. He has only been to London on Field trips or for games. Would he find what he is looking for? Would he meet some of his Parents Friends? Before he knew it he was asleep dreaming about a magical World. The next day he was awoken before the sun rose, which wasn't hard since it was almost December. Harry and his Aunt had a quick breakfast and went to the Car. Harry put on a dark coat together with a green scarf and hat while Petunia wore a gray coat. The Car ride to London was quiet. Petunia parked in charing cross road. She pointed to a few shops.
"Over there between a music shop and a book shop i believe is the entrance to your world. If i remember correctly the name of the bank is Gringotts or something like that. You can ask someone for directions. I will pick you up right here at 3pm" she said. Harry looked at her.
"You won't come with me?" he asked confused.
"I can't see the place and i have to buy christmas presents for Dudley...go on now we don't have all day" she said and ushered him out of he Car. As soon as he closed the Door petunia drove away. The Weather was bad. It was ice cold. Harry pulled his hat down and flipped the collar of his coat up and pulled it closer. He slowly walked across the Street and looked for the shops his Aunt mentioned. Soon enough he saw the two shops. In-between these two shops was another door. A black door with a plaque over the door that read: The Leaky Cauldron. Harry looked around. No one seemed to noticed the door and the name sounded pretty strange to Harry so he guessed that this was the shop his Aunt meant. Carefully he entered. The inside was gloomy but clean. There were a few tables standing around and at some where a few people. There weren't many people around as it was still early. Behind the Bar was a middle aged man cleaning glasses. Harry slowly walked up to him.
"Excuse me could you help me?" Harry asked carefully. The Bartender looked up and then looked down behind the Bar. He raised his eyebrows.
"Hello Lad how can I help you? Where are your Parents?" The man asked. Harry looked down.
"They are Dead sir. I need help getting to Gringotts" Harry said quiet. The Man looked at him for a second before he came around the Bar.
"Let me help you. Follow me" He said. Harry followed the man into a small courtyard. The man took out a long brown stick and tapped the bricks. The bricks started to move. Harry was speechless. "The big white building down the Street is Gringotts. If you need anything else don't hesitate to ask. My name is Tom" The man said smiling.
"I am Harry. Thank you" Harry said. He waved one last time before he made his way down the street. The street wasn't full yet. Some shops were still closed. Harry wished he had more eyes. There were so many thinks to see. He saw a shop that selled books, a shop for robes, one for Animals, a Wand shop and many more. As he got closer to the bank he couldn't believe his eyes. In front of the Bank were two small creatures with long pointy ears. From an older gentlemen, passing him, he heard "I can not understand why the Goblins had to increase the exchange rate again". Goblins these creatures were Goblins, Harry figured. He slowly walked inside. He walked up to one of the counters.
"Excuse me?" he said unsure and quiet. The Goblin looked up from his paper and looked down at Harry.
"Yes?" he sneered.
"My...My name is Harry Potter and i was wondering...well I was wondering if my Parents left anything for me? Like a Will?" Harry asked shy. The Goblin took a closer look at him.
"Potter you say? Hmm...Follow me" the Goblin said as he got off of the chair and hurried across the hall. Harry quickly followed. The goblin led him through a hallway into a office. "Please wait here" the Goblin said and left. The room was small. It was white and had no Windows. There was one Table and a few Chairs. On the Table was a Knife and a Bowl. After a few seconds another Goblin came in and sat down behind the Table.
"Please take the Knife and make a small cut into your left index finder. Let five drops of your blood drop into the Bowl" The Goblin said. With a shaking Hand Harry took the Knife and didas he was told. As soon as the Blood was in the Bowl the Goblin dipped a piece of parchment into the Bowl. When he took the parchment back out he read out loud.

"You are Harry Potter. My name is Hamlock. What can i do for you?" He asked. Harry looked a bit confused.
"Well my Aunt told me my Parents were Killed and i was wondering if they left anything for me? maybe a Will or something like that?" Harry asked shy. The Goblin nodded and left the Room. A minute later he came back with a big Folder.
"It is sealed but since you are the last Heir we can open it. Would you like to read it by yourself or should i read it out loud?" Hemlock asked. Harry told him to read it.
Last Will and Testament of
James Allen Potter and Lilien Rose Potter neé Evans.
If anything is to happen to us our Son Harry is to live
with his Godparent. If he is unavailable he is to
live with either one of the following:
Alice and Frank Longbottom
If one of them is unavailable he is to live with
Lily's Sister Petunia Dursley, but only then!
We leave everything in our possession to our Son Harry.
Harry was shocked. He had Godparents and other People he was suppose to go to. He wondered what happened to them. "What happened to those People mentioned?" he asked shy.
"Well if i remember correctly...Sirius Black is in Askaban Prison. Alice and Frank Longbottom are both patient at the Hospital" Hemlock said. Harry was shocked. If they were available why wasn't he with one of them? And what else was in that Folder?
"What else is in the Folder?" he asked shy. Hemlock opened the Folder and took the parchment out.
"These are Documents about your Property, Investments, Vaults and Family Trees." he said ans laid them in front of Harry.

Harry was shocked. He was Rich. Well he didn't knew the exchange rate but still. "What is the exchange rate? and how does the Money work here?" Harry asked curious.
"The Exchange rate is 1 Galleon to 3,67 Pounds. There are 17 Sickles in a Galleon, and 29 Knuts in a Sickle." Hemlock said. Harry nodded.
"Is there a way of contacting the People on the list?" Harry asked hopefully.
"There are a few ways of doing so. You could always send them an Owl. Owls usually know where the receiver is. Or you could contact them through a Solicitor" Hemlock said. Harry thought for a minute.
"I don't have an Owl. How could I contact a Solicitor?" Harry asked. Hemlock got up and returned a few seconds later.
"The Potter Family has a law firm of their own. I will contact them for you and send you an Owl" Hemlock said. Harry nodded. "That seems to be everything for now. I will make you copys of these Documents. Would you also like to withdraw some Money?" he asked, Harry thought but then nodded. Hemlock went to get him his Money. He got Harry 100 Galleons. Harry smiley. They said Goodbye and another Goblin led Harry outside. Now Harry realized that it was already Lunch time. Quickly he made his way back to the Leaky Cauldron. There he had a quick Lunch. He had two more hours until Aunt Petunia would return to pick him up. He explored the different shops. He especially liked the Book shops. He also bought some new Clothes. Time went by and it was a Month later when he got an Owl from Hemlock informing him of a meeting with the Solicitor. It was set in late February.
I hope you liked it :)
