Standard Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter.
PrologueDeep in the Amazonian rain forest there was a place of breath taking beauty. It was a paradise like no other. The heavenly beauty of the place made it seem unreal. A place like this couldn't exist naturally; it was perfect, too perfect.
All the animals both magical and non-magical seemed to inhibit the forest in perfect harmony. A strange thing about the place was the presence of mythic magical creatures and the extinct non-magical ones. Phoenixes of all colours (white, blue, red, black, yellow) resided in one corner of the paradise. Next to them were the dragons. Some of the dragons were three headed dragons. The leader of the dragons was a five headed dragon. The unicorns seemed to be playing around the lake. The lake by itself was simply stunning.
In the centre of the lake was a man who seemed no older than twenty. His hair was jet black and he was fairly tall. His body was muscular but lean. His body was the perfect specimen of the human male. He was lying on the surface of the water observing the night sky. The aquatic animals around him were ignoring his presence completely as if it was a normal and a natural occurrence.
The man seemed to be at peace. His name was Santranium. The utopia he had created in a small corner of earth made him happy. He had lived a tough life. He faced the horrors and atrocities of the universe that were hard to imagine for normal mortals. He was responsible for keeping the darkness in the multiverse at bay. After winning a war which destroyed a couple of lesser universes, he was free to do as he pleased for a few million years till the darkness rose again. He decided to spend some time in one of the lesser universes on the lower planes. He chose a young planet called earth to live on. When he arrived here the life of the planet was in its infancy.
He initially chose to live a secluded life on the lower plane because he didn't want to interact with the deities who controlled and ruled over this universe. They generally stayed on the higher planes in any given universe. On rare occasions they came to the lower planes to mingle with lesser beings such as the mortals and quasi-immortals.
The deities who ruled over the lesser universes generally tended to be egotistical and arrogant. They knew the beings above them rarely bothered about their universe as it is more or less insignificant to them. They also hated the fact that they couldn't travel or visit to a greater universe.
Santranium pitied the fools as they didn't understand that the only difference between the lesser universes and the greater universes were the number of galaxies and dimensions in them. The greater ones had a higher number of galaxies and dimensions while the lesser one had fewer galaxies with 2 to 3 dimensions or planes of existence. Of course life in different universes evolved differently leading to vast differences but that was besides the point. All of these were the derivatives of the first universe from which the entire multiverse originated.
(((o)))
He was a warrior at heart. He missed the thrills of war. Peace didn't suit him but he always managed to adjust to a dull and boring life till the next great battle. He had existed before time began so it didn't really matter to him. He could toy with the concept of time whenever he felt like it. Life and death were a game to him as he could bring the dead back to life.
(((o)))
Currently he was watching over the flow of life in his utopia. He had created the utopia after a small spat with the local deity. This place reminded her how utterly powerless she was in front of him, not that she needed a reminder after he had almost killed her.
In his life Santranium had seen and done many things consider impossible. Temporary or permanently killing immortals was an example of the things he had done. He was the protector of life in the universe. He along with his family members could be considered the first Gods of the universe. Their power ruled supreme. Due to their benevolent nature they generally allowed the life in the multiverse to evolve on its own and never tried to impose their will to dominate lesser beings. From time to time they helped life to prosper from the shadows.
He felt that this earth was an interesting planet. Earth had many different species of varying intelligence living on it. They loved to fight with each other. Initially humans were a lesser species. The lands were ruled by the elves. The dragons, dwarfs along with a few tribes of humans challenged them for power from time to time. The most interesting part was that these species always bonded together without any problem to face a common enemy such as the goblins, orcs, demons and others. He had interactions with all the species at one point or another. He never directly fought in their wars but helped the elves-human-dwarf alliance from time to time giving them advise or some valuable information.
After a devastating war between the elves and the demons both the species were almost wiped out. The race of orcs was completely annihilated as they were mainly used as foot soldiers. Even though the elves won the war their numbers dwindled as they had a very low birthrate. As time went on the humans rose to power. The remaining elves decided to go into hiding.
Santranium erased his existence from the minds of the humans but stayed in touch with other races such as Elves, Dwarfs, Goblins, Dragons, etc. In time the human race bifurcated into people who could wield magic and the people who couldn't. Initially they coexisted peacefully.
He saw many civilizations both magical and non-magical develop and crumble as time passed on. The humans who couldn't wield magic waged a war on the humans that could wield it. His intervention ended the war. He used his powers to completely segregate the two warring factions and avoid pointless life loss. The only reason he had interfered in the conflict was due to the fact that it was started by a deity who wanted to destroy the deity of magic and gain her power. This action caused him to gain attention of the various deities of this universe.
They punished the one responsible for the war. After their initially interaction with Santranium, the local deities decided to ignore his presence.
Santranium's interaction with human race was very limited. To keep the Wizarding world in line every few centuries would reveal himself to a select few individual to train them to be leaders and guide the people in the right direction.
Living on earth he acquired a new hobby, of mating with females. The child borne by these women were devoid of any special power, he made sure of that. His past experience had taught him that power of such magnitude easily corrupts. Long time ago he had to kill his first two kids as they had become power hungry and corrupt. It is a different issue that his father had brought them back to life and properly trained them to become guardians of the multiverse and had renamed them as alpha and omega. This was eons before he came to earth. Now, he made sure his kids were perfectly healthy and only got their mother's power with a small boost.
It had been over six hundred years since he had ventured into a human civilization. It had been over a century since he had gone to his 'home' or now as he referred it as his 'other home'. There were only two humans alive that knew of his existence, they were the Flamels. Nicolas Flamel had been the last student he had taken in. There were quite a few before Nicolas, such as Godric Gryffindor, Helga Hufflepuff, Rowena Ravenclaw, Salazar Slytherin, Merlin, etc. all his students turned out to be great witches and wizards. The last witch that bore him a child went by the name of Selena Potter. He had named his child Archibald Potter. 'Potter' after his mother since he didn't require a descendent to carry on his legacy.
(((o)))
Santranium always kept an eye out for interesting events occurring around the world. He could observe each and every event taking place on earth at any given moment in time. He chose to not interfere with the events that reshaped the face earth such as wars, plague, famine, etc. because he knew that it was a part of 'the circle of life'.
The only difference in his life had occurred four centuries ago when he took a beautiful Elvin princess as his mistress. She was one of the few remaining high elves. Her father had given her as a gift to Santranium as his powers were the only thing preventing them from becoming extinct. The elvin princess didn't mind this because from a very young age she had a crush on Santranium.
(((o)))
Two centuries ago Santranium had started creating the utopia that he was currently residing in. He made sure that no external forces; of man or Mother Nature would interfere in his utopia. It was easy for him to create the animals and establish a perfect harmony between them. Life and death of mortals and lower immortals was a game to him. A game he had stopped playing after the last Great War had ended. Now he only created life whenever he felt necessary but never took it. Deep down in his heart he knew that he would not hesitate to kill someone if he deemed it necessary. He knew there was no escape from his past. He didn't want to escape from it. He knew that the things he had done were all necessary to make the multiverse a safer place.
Suddenly, he felt the deities representing fate and destiny descend to the lower plane. The situation intrigued him greatly; the two deities of this universe generally didn't get along with each other. For both of them to descend to a lower plane could mean only one thing, both of them needed to personally oversee an event which had the potential to shape the future of this planet. The last time multiple deities had descended to the lower plane was when the war between the elves and demons took place.
He decided to see what potential planet shaping event was taking place. The thing he saw did pique his interest.
(((o)))
Voldemort had killed Lily Potter and was moving towards little Harry in the cot. Pointing his wand at Harry, Voldemort did the most logical thing a dark wizard could do; he taunted a fifteen month old baby. Little did he know that his own arrogance would be his undoing. The killing curse that he casted on Harry rebounded from a golden shield of ancient magic, invoked by the dying mother to save her baby.
The rebounding killing curse ensured the destruction of Voldemort's body leaving him as a shadow of his former self. A part of Voldemort's soul lactated onto Harry's forehead at the place where the killing curse impacted with the shield. This left a lightning bolt shaped scar on Harry's forehead.
Fate and destiny disappeared leaving little Harry in his cot. Their job of ensuring Harry's survival and temporary destruction of Voldemort was completed.
The infant later on was collected by Rubeus Hagrid and delivered to Albus Dumbledore who was waiting at number Four Privet Drive.
(((o)))
As Santranium saw the event occurring at number four Privet Drive; he felt disappointed by the actions of Dumbledore. Humans were strange creatures to him; they were capable of performing great feats without any expectation of reward at the same time there were humans who would condemn an infant to a lifetime of misery for their personal gains. Lily's death was an example of the former while Albus' intent of placing Harry at the Dursleys was an example of the latter.
Albus had a tough childhood due to Ariana's condition which eventually led to her death later on. His father being imprisoned for extracting vengeance or the death of his mother didn't help him. All these things had made him a bitter and angry young man.
Albus displayed great talent from a very young age. His potential had caught Santranium's attention. There were three things which stopped him from taking Albus under his wing, his dark heart, his arrogance and his hunger for fame.
These were the main reasons for Albus' friendship with Gellert Grindelwald. Both the boys had quite the similar nature. Their childhoods were also similar. The only main difference between the two was that Gellert dwelled in the dark arts from a very young age. In terms of abilities and power, Albus was a shade better than Gellert. The friendship between the two eventually led to love between the two of them. They banded together with the ambition of ruling the world in the name of 'greater good'. They wanted to subjugate the non magical people, magical creatures and the magical people they thought were unworthy to wield the power.
A small disagreement between them while planning for world domination had caused Ariana's death. Her death was the cause of a rift between the two lovers. This caused a small setback to Albus ambition.
In time, Albus went on to become a great wizard, at least in the eye of the people; he was heralded as the next Merlin. He became famous for defeating his estranged lover in a duel. He left Gellert rotting in a prison they had secretly built together. Albus was unhappy with the method Gellert had used to achieve 'the greater good' that they had planned together. Albus fame after putting a stop to Gellert had catapulted him into a position of power in England.
Albus for all his faults was very smart. He never wanted to become the minster of magic but instead he would prefer to manipulate people from behind the scenes. He became the Chief Warlock of the Wizengamot only because the position allowed him to control the laws being passed. Though he always thought that he had the best interest of people at heart the decision he made tended to cause many suffering to people he influenced. He took all his decisions with 'the greater good' in mind.
People of England didn't realize that Albus was one of the main reasons of their suffering and sorrows they faced. In his quest for power and desire to achieve 'the greater good', he had taken many wrong decisions in life. The most costly mistake that he had made was to create Voldemort from Tom Riddle. Initially, it wasn't intentional but when Voldemort rose he saw a chance to gain more power and fame by defeating a second dark lord.
As always the case with people having power; Albus had started loving it. He had forgotten that his actions often didn't end in the desired result. Some of the actions he had taken worsened the situation. When Tom Riddle became Voldemort; it resulted in a very high death toll.
Another problem with Albus was that he believed the best in everybody. Santranium knew that there was nothing wrong in given people a second chance; but Albus gave second chances to everybody which was just plain foolish. It was like placing a sword in hand of an assassin, after he failed to kill you the first time.
(((o)))
Santranium had never felt the need to interfere in one of Albus' diabolical schemes but the future he foresaw for little Harry without his intervention was tragic to say the least. Poor kid had lost his parents because of Albus' grand plan and now he was going to a raised as cannon fodder.
Santranium instantly made up his mind to raise little harry as his son. After all Harry was his distant descendent. In an instant he was standing outside on number Four Privet Drive. He was completely invisible to the three people present on the lawn, namely Albus Dumbledore, Minerva McGonagall and Rubeus Hagrid. As they left, he picked up the sleeping baby and vanished. Just to spite Albus, he sent the bundle of blanket along with the letter written by Albus to the headmaster office at Hogwarts. He added a note for Albus to read.
(((o)))
Late at the night when Albus returned to his office after the celebration, he was surprised to see a blanket on his table with a note on top of it. He picked up the note and read
'You have been very naughty boy Albus. A doorstep is not the place where you should keep a baby. You had your chance to meddle with people's lives now it's my turn. Harry will be staying with me. Even if you try your best you won't be able to find me. Let us play a game; if you can manage to find Harry before his eleventh birth you can have him back. Are you up for the challenge?'
Reading the note sent shivers down Albus' spine. Albus was really stumped. He just sank into his chair.
(((o)))
Santranium arrived at his other home. It was a gigantic castle on a floating piece of land above the Indian Ocean. The castle was humongous. It was probably larger than some of the smaller countries in the world. He originally had created the castle for the purpose of providing a sanctuary to those who needed it. Now, only his beautiful Elvin mistress Satele lived here. As soon as he entered, he was greeted by her.
Satele had a pale complexion. Her skin was milky white. Like all elves she had pointy ears. She hand long wavy free flowing black hair. Her breasts were quite large. She was surprised to see a child in Santranium's hands.
Santranium explained the situation to Satele. She was stunned by the fact that a mere human mother could pull off a feat involving such a high level of magic to save her son from certain death. The high elves generally thought that humans were very inferior creatures.
Satele was excited when Santranium told her that they would be raising Harry as their son. She had been pestering him for a long time to make her a mother. Even though they did the deed, he never impregnated her. For some odd reason he didn't want to get her pregnant.
Santranium moved his index finger over the cursed scar in a circular manner destroying the Horcrux. As soon as Voldemort's soul was destroyed, Harry woke up with a start and started crying at top of his lung. Just a look from Santranium was enough to clam young Harry immediately. Santranium gave Harry to Satele and told her to breast feed him.
Satele without hesitating for a movement disrobed, exposing her lovely breasts to Santranium and Harry. Harry instincts took over latched on to her right breast and started sucking for all its worth. Seeing this Santranium laughed. She looked up at Santranium; shaking her left breast said, "There is enough milk in here for the both of you." Laughing still harder Santranium said "after he goes to sleep".
Santranium joined Satele in bed after putting little Harry to sleep. "Why don't you work on creating a little brother or sister from him?" she questioned.
(((o)))
Dumbledore was very worried. He couldn't think of anyone who was capable of kidnapping Harry and challenging him. 'No one knew that the Dursley's were related to Lily Potter other than the Marauders and Severus. He knew that Severus would never betray him and the Marauders weren't in a position to take Harry he had made sure of it. None of them would openly challenge him.' The main question troubling him was 'Who? How? Why?'
(((o)))
Santranium appeared in front of the wizard's bank Gringotts, as he believed that it is extremely rude for a person to enter someone's home without knocking. Gringotts and its various branches were the only place the goblins could call 'home' after the wars against the wizards.
Santranium loosely used the term 'war' when he referred to the fighting between the goblins and humans for him they were just small skirmishes. For him the concept of war was completely different than that of normal earthling. The wars between the elves and demons came close to what he would call a battle. The people of this planet earth had never seen a 'true war'. He knew that a real war could decimate an entire planet in mere seconds. He himself had destroyed many galaxies during the wars he had fought. He had restored most of them later, after all life from them had been cleansed.
Santranium knocked on the front door. A goblin opened a small slit in the door and stated that the bank was closed for the night. For conducting any business he should return tomorrow within the banking hours.
Santranium was amused by the antics of the goblin. He decided to have some fun with the goblins. He just laughed and said, "I just knocked the door as it is always polite to knock on the door before entering someone's home. I can go where ever I feel like going, you can't stop me from going anywhere I want to go." The goblin snarled back, "You can't force fully enter Gringotts foolish human." Appearing on the other side of the door Santranium said, "I am not a human."
The goblin guards charged at him with their weapons drawn, just when the goblin guards were going to attack him, he froze them in time. Some of the goblins were frozen in mid air with their swords reaching near his neck; most of them were frozen trying to pierce his stomach with their spears. All the armed goblins tried to move but they just couldn't budge. Santranium smiled at the goblins predicament, their race had become arrogant in recent times. He just walked away from the guard towards an older goblin. "I am not afraid of you", said the older goblin trembling in fear. Taking pity on the old goblin, he said "I am not here looking for a fight. Sorry if I scared you Recngur. I am here just to have a little chat with King Ragnuk the third and Sharptooth."
"How did you know my name? Who are you? Why do you want to see them?" Recngur inquired feeling a little brave. "Aren't you full of questions little one. It doesn't matter who I am or how I know your name, the reason for seeking the other two is purely business and the matter cannot wait till morning." Santranium chuckled back.
The scared Recngur ran to get King Ragnuk and Sharptooth. As Sharptooth was the first to arrive. He walked up to Santranium and politely asked, "Sir you wished to see me? May I inquire the purpose of the meeting?"
"This is regarding the Potter's account. You are their manager right?" Santranium asked him. "Sir it is our bank policy that we don't discuss our client details with anyone other than the said client." Sharptooth said fearing for his life.
King Ragnuk recognized Santranium for the goblin legends or what he believed to be legends, told to him by his predecessor. He bowed to Santranium. "How can the goblin nation be of service to you my Lord?" asked Ragnuk said still bowing his head. "Arise Ragnuk. I was hoping that you would know who I am, save me some time from explaining it. I don't require the service of the goblin nation, just your bank. I want you to seal the account of the Potter to all but Harry Potter. Keep Albus Dumbledore and his lackeys out of his accounts." Santranium ordered the goblin king. "It shall be done my Lord. What about their wills?" Ragnuk inquired. "I am under the impression that they didn't have any wills. Harry as their sole heir would inherit everything at the age of eleven." Santranium stated. "They don't my Lord." Sharptooth interjected.
The other goblins were stunned by Ragnuk's actions. Santranium turned to Sharptooth, "You manager will be managing the Potter account. I want you to invest their money in companies and business ventures that you think are profitable. I know how business minded you goblins are nowadays and I have no time for such trivial things. You will receive a small portion of the profits." Hearing this Sharptooth's eyes lit up.
Just for show Santranium disappeared for the bank in a blinding flash of light. The frozen goblins fell down with a thud. They all turned to Ragnuk for an explanation. All he said was that they had been very lucky to be still alive.
(((o)))
Santranium arrived directly into the bed room and saw Harry was still asleep in his new cot. His body had changed a little. He had become a little taller and healthier than before. He knew that Satele's milk would change Harry's body.
Satele was sprawled on the bed completely naked. She too was sleeping peacefully, partially covered by a satin bed sheet. He joined her in bed without disturbing her.
(((o)))
Next morning, Dumbledore had called a meeting of the order of phoenix's most trusted members. They included Minerva McGonagall, Alastor Moody, Severus Snape, Elphias Doge, Dedalus Diggle and Sturgis Podmore.
Dumbledore told them what had happened to Harry. Severus Snape started blaming Sirius Black for Harry's disappearance. "Sirius Black couldn't have done it. He is in a ministry holding cell after he killed Peter Pettigrew and twelve muggles late last night. I want all of you to go and try to find out anything you can about Harry's disappearance. Go now, we must hurry. Harry must be placed at number four Privet Drive for his own safety." Dumbledore implored in a grandfatherly tone.
"I don't think this person wants to hurt Harry. He could have just killed him on the spot at number four Privet Drive." Moody voiced his thoughts. Some of them agreed with him. "It is for the Greater Good." Was all Dumbledore told them. "A dark family could raise him to be the next dark lord or something similar. Go now. Find Harry by any means necessary."
Ever one except Severus Snape left immediately. "I want to ask you a favor sir," he said to Dumbledore. "Ask, my boy what do you want?" Dumbledore inquired. "I want Sirius Black to be locked up in Azkaban for good, without any form trial. I don't want that thing to escape by bribing the officials." He spat out the word thing with great venom. "Consider it done my boy."
(((o)))
Dumbledore was in a very bad mood. All is attempts to locate Harry were failing. Even the book of magical records wasn't able to locate him. What worried Dumbledore was the fact that the book of records was showing Harry's address as 'Doorstep of No. 4 Privet Drive.' He knew only very powerful magic was capable of doing such a thing. The magic needed to accomplish such a task was even beyond his capability. He reckoned that the person that kidnapped Harry performed some sort of dark ritual to prevent the book of record from finding Harry's address as no one alive could be stronger than him.
He decided to quickly leave the Department before any more unspeakables arrived. He had stunned and obliviated the two presently on duty. Thinking of all the things he had to do in the name of greater good. He finally came to the conclusion that the entire world was trying to stop him from creating a better place for all the wizards.
(((o)))
Santranium was laughing at Dumbledore's though process. He decided to mess with some other plans of Dumbledore. Especially the fate he had planned for the Longbottoms. His plans to gain the riches of the Blacks and some other wealthy families were also going down the drain soon.
Harry's future for now was secured. He had removed the mark of Fate from Harry. The stupid mark indicated the Harry was her child or her chosen one.
(((o)))
Somewhere in the upper realm, the realm of Gods of this universe, Fate was furious. She had lost her child. She wasn't a heartless bitch as many made her out. She always gave her children the tool needed to overcome the obstacles they had to face in their life. She hadn't expected Santranium to interfere in her plans. She knew the consequences of trying to stop him from doing something. The last time she had a direct confrontation with him she almost died. She was supposed to be immortal but that wouldn't stop Santranium from killing her. She owed her life to the elder Gods. They had requested Santranium to spare her life. In exchange he could have a wish granted by them.
Santranium's response was to laugh at their proposal. He told the Gods he would spare Fate just because they made him laugh and just left her alive. Fate was astonished that the Elder Gods didn't retaliate to Santranium's insult. Then she realized how lucky she was as Santranium must be a being higher than the Elder Gods of this universe.
From then on she never interfered in Santranium's life. She had learnt her lesson. So she decided to calm down, as getting angry wasn't going to solve anything. She grudgingly conceded that she had lost Harry Potter to Santranium. She knew that if he got involved he would get the job done one way or the other. She pitied Dumbledore as he had no idea what he was up against.
(((o)))
"Severus my boy, I have put Sirius in Azkaban as you had asked me. Barty will not give him a trial and he will rot in the maximum security wing for the rest of his life. Are you happy now?" Dumbledore inquired.
"How many times I have told you not to call me your boy?" Severus said with a smile. "As for the Sirius in Azkaban thing I am very happy. I will be dancing naked all night long. That mutt got what he deserved. Too bad Peter died for no good reason. Sirius could have been sent to Azkaban for betraying the Potters. That would have been icing on the cake." Severus said with a bigger smile on his face and left the office.
Dumbledore was happy seeing that at least something was going according to the plan. Little did he know that even this plan was foiled.
(((o)))
Sirius was fuming and cursing his luck. He was put into a high security cell for betraying the Potters, killing Peter and those 12 muggles. He almost wished that he had killed Peter. Peter turned out to be much smarter than he could think was possible for that no good rat. Since he knew he was already in Azkaban he wasn't going to get a trial.
He was really depressed that he was the cause of James and Lily's death. The more he thought about it, he couldn't think of a reason why he gave James the idea to switch the secret keeper at the last movement.
He hoped that at least Harry would be safe with Dumbledore. Sirius was pulled out of his musing by the passage of a Dementor.
Suddenly the Dementor stopped in mid glide and Sirius felt something strange pass over him. He turned around to see a tall man with jet black hair standing there wearing muggle casuals leaning against the wall. Sirius was pretty sure that man wasn't there a second ago.
Before Sirius could say a word Santranium spoke, "Hi Sirius, I am here to help you. You don't need to know my name. I can get you out of Azkaban in a jiff, if you agree to follow my simple terms."
Sirius's eyes lit up hearing this but he knew that such an offer would come at a great price. But right now he was ready to make a deal with the devil for his soul to get out of this hell hole. The irony of the statement wasn't lost to him.
Santranium chuckled a little, "I won't be taking your soul, so don't worry about it." Sirius was alarmed that this fellow could read his mind without looking into his eyes. He hadn't even felt a probe on his occlumency shield.
"If I want I can read anyone's mind, nothing can stop me from doing it." Santranium informed Sirius.
"What are your terms?" Sirius inquired.
"They are quite simple. First you have to live a life of anonymity for 12 years. You cannot contact anyone you know during the time period. Second you can only meet Harry when I permit you to meet him. Don't worry Harry is with me and he is safe. Third you will have to leave England for 12 years"
"Who are you and how did you become Harry's Guardian?" asked Sirius getting agitated.
"Well I collected Harry from number four Privet Drive where Dumbledore left him on the door step in middle of the night. As for who I am it is none of your concerns. I will give you a new name and alter your appearance. You shall be given a house in a country of your choosing."
"How could Dumbledore think of leaving Harry with them? What is in it for you? No stranger helps someone for free." Sirius asked after he calmed down. Right now he wanted to rip Dumbledore into two for leaving Harry at someone's door step.
"For now, I am happy with just foiling Dumbledore's great plans. Plus, the reason I asked you to remain anonymous is because I will leave a copy of you in Azkaban so that no one gets suspicious."
"Can you really do that? I thought it was impossible to do such a thing." said Sirius. He looked at his cell door and notice the Dementor was still there but he couldn't feel its presence, a drop of water was frozen in mid air. Then Sirius realized that man in front of him had stopped time. He had done another thing that he was impossible to achieve. All Sirius could ask was "Are you God?"
"Not exactly but you can consider me to be something similar. You can think of me as a supernatural being." Santranium told Sirius.
"Okay, I agree to your terms if you allow me to see Harry before I leave England." As soon as Sirius said this, he felt Azkaban melted all around him. Sirius was now standing in the most beautiful place he could imagine. The place was beautiful beyond his wildest dreams.
"Welcome to my humble home. Harry will be brought here shortly." The next thing that Sirius saw stunned him further. A beautiful Elvin maiden was floating towards him carrying a sleeping baby. After some time he recognized that the baby in the Elvin woman's arms was Harry. He was sleeping peacefully.
He took Harry in his hands and held him for a minute before handing him over to the beautiful women.
"Okay, so where do you want to go now? Chose carefully for the next twelve years you will be living there." Santranium asked Sirius.
After some thought Sirius said, "I will go to India. It has a rich magical culture. The people there are open minded. I would be able to live there without any problem." Santranium smirked at Sirius and said, "I know that isn't your real reason for going to India. Good Bye, have a nice life there. See you in twelve years."
With that Sirius appeared in a small cottage in the magical district of India. Since it was early in the morning he decided to check the neighborhood. When he was about to leave the house his appearance changed. His stature was altered, his skin colour changed to match the Indian skin tone. He got a new set of memories. His name now was Jeetan Patel. He felt weird with the addition of the new memories. His animagus form changed to a cute white cat. He wasn't on speaking terms with his new family before they had died when they were touring England. They were killed in a death eater attack. The irony of the situation wasn't lost to him as most of his real family members were death eaters. It seemed he was living in a small magical village in India and had decent amount of money.
(((o)))
Dumbledore was getting more worried day by day. It had been four days since Harry's disappearance. All his effort to locate Harry had failed so far. His attempts of getting control of the Potter's account had failed. The fake will that he had masterfully created was easily detected as fake by goblins. He couldn't understand how the foolish goblins managed to detect the forgery.
He reasoned the person behind Harry's kidnapping took over the Potter's accounts. But that didn't explain the reason for him being denied access to vaults of other families like the Black or Prewett account.
He was getting really desperate as time went by and in his desperation he decided to ask the Ministry of magic and the general public for help.
(((o)))
The next day all the magical people of Britain were waking up to the news of the kidnapping of their savior. The entire auror force was combing through entire Britain.
Coincidentally, after a hard days search auror Frank Longbottom invited his colleagues for dinner to his house. At dinner the Longbottom manor was attacked by death eaters. The aurors were able to capture all the attacking death eaters.
