Hey all. This is my new and first Harmony fanfic. Enjoy.
Chapter 1: Escape
Harry let out a sigh from his seat on the plane. He looks out the window to his right and looks down at the Atlantic Ocean as the plane makes its way to America. He shakes his head to shake the memory of Cedric dying and he gets up and goes to the bathroom. He returns to his seat a few minutes later. The flight attendants serve the in-flight lunch and hears Dudley complaining about how there is not enough for him.
Five hours later. The plane lands at John F. Kennedy International Airport. Harry walks over to where his relatives are waiting. They hurry to baggage claim and get their bags and leave the airport. The Dursley's and Harry arrive in front of a two story home. Vernon tells Harry that he is staying in the equipment shed that is in the backyard. Harry goes not wanting to be beaten. Harry has been in the United States for four days when the Dursley's leave for two days. He seizes this opportunity and packs his bag and leaves the house after finding some money that Dudley had left laying around. Harry counts the money and it totals in $85 US dollars. He puts the money in his pocket and leaves with his bag. He walks two blocks to the bus stop. He waits and a bus comes and he boards it and rides it to central of New York City. He uses a few other buses till he comes to Times Square.
"Now how do I find the American magical world?" Harry mumbles to himself. He is distracted as he sees a crowd of people around a man doing what appears to be doing a street show. He stares with wide eyes at seeing the man do magic and it is not magician magic, but actual magic. Harry hurries over as the man finishes and the crowd applause and toss money into a box. Harry waits till the people are gone and approaches the man that, Harry now notes is a little more than 18-19.
"Hello. Great show." Harry says thinking of how to ask the young man if he is a wizard.
"Thanks." The man says. He notices that the kid in front of him seems familiar from somewhere, but where.
"I...uh have a question." Harry says.
"Shoot."
"Are you by chance a wizard?" Harry asks and his suspicion is confirmed when the young man tenses.
"A wizard?" The young man asks in fear.
"Don't panic. I'm a wizard as well from Britain and am trying to find whatever the place magicals in America use." Harry says.
"Whew. Thank goodness. I was scared by that question." The man says.
"Sorry about that. So do you think you can help me?" Harry asks.
"Sure. By the way my name is Alan Roberts." Alan introduces himself.
"And I'm Harry Potter." Harry says. Alan's eyes widen.
"I thought that you looked familiar. You won the Triwizard Tournament this year." Alan says shocked.
"Yeah I di-wait. How'd you know that?" Harry asks.
"My cousin is a witch and she goes to Hogwarts. She should be starting her fifth year in September." Alan says shocking Harry.
"Your cousin goes to Hogwarts and is in my year? Who is your cousin?" Harry asks.
"Hermione Granger is my cousin." Alan says. Harry is shocked and speechless that he has met his girlfriend's cousin. "Wait a minute! You're the Harry she always is talking about aren't you?" Alan asks and Harry nods his head(1).
"Well let's go to Lincoln Avenue." Alan says and Harry agrees. "Okay. Follow me." Alan says(2). Alan and Harry get on the subway and get off four stations later. The two walk into an office building and go to the store room and walk to the wall which parts for them. Harry stares with wide eyes at the large alley that puts Diagon Alley to shame in size. Harry sees a sign that says 'Welcome to Lincoln Avenue' (3).
"Is there a Gringotts here?" Harry asks looking at all the stores and is surprised to see electronic stores.
"Yes. There is." Alan says. He leads Harry to Gringotts. The two walk up the steps and into the wizarding bank. Harry is surprised to see wizards working at some of the teller windows (4).
"America is not like Britain. There is some bigotry." Alan says explains. The two walk up to a empty teller.
"Good morning Master Goblin. May your gold ever flow and your enemies bow at your feet." Alan says.
"Greetings Mr. Roberts." The goblin says. "How can Gringotts be of service to you today?"
"My friend here needs your assistance." Alan says. The goblin turns his head to Harry who steps forward.
"Hello, I am curious to know if I can withdraw some money from my trust vault that is in Britain." Harry ask.
"Of course. You just need to prick your thumb so we know who you are." The goblin says sliding a dagger and a piece of parchment towards Harry. Harry takes the dagger and pricks his thumb and a drop of blood falls onto the parchment which flashes. The goblin takes it and looks it over. His eyes widen and he snarls at a near by goblin in gobblydock who runs off.
"You two come with me right now." The goblin says. Harry and Alan exchange glances as they follow the goblin.
Two minutes later they stop in front of a door and the goblin knocks. The three walk in after being told to. They walk in and stand in front of the goblin at the desk.
"Please be seated." The goblin says. Harry and Alan sit down and the two goblins speak in the native tongue.
"Lord Potter..."
"Lord Potter?" Harry interrupts and the goblins narrows his eyes.
"Yes you are Lord Potter of the Most Ancient and Noble house of Potter." The goblin says.
"Most Ancient and Noble house Potter? What do you mean Master Goblin?" Harry asks. He doesn't notice that Alan sucked in a breath and has wide eyes.
"You don't know? And I am knows as Riptide." Riptide says a littler mad.
"Know what?" Harry asks.
"Lord Potter..."
"Please call me Harry."
"Harry..." Alan starts and glanced at Riptide who nodded. "The most Ancient and Noble house of Potter is one of the founding families of the wizarding world and is responsible for helping make Gringotts possible." Alan says. Harry is floored at this and his mouth hangs open. He closes his mouth shock now gone and now replaced by anger.
"Why wasn't I told about this?" Harry asks. This startles Riptide.
"You weren't told when you were eleven?" Riptide asks.
"No. I was told I had a trust vault and I was lead around Diagon Alley by Reubis Hagrid." Harry says. This shocks Alan and Riptide.
Four hours later Harry and Alan walk out of Gringotts. Alan kept glancing at Harry watching him. While in the bank they had Ragnock, the Goblin King and the Potter account manager come via the connection that goblins have for all banks in the world. Harry learned that Dumbledore was planning to lead Harry to his death to get his fortune. The Weasleys were paid to befriend him except for Arthur, the twins, Bill and Charlie. He found out about an illegal marriage contract between him and Ginny signed by Dumbledore and Molly Weasley. He had found out that he is the heir to Peverell, Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin. The last two a surprise thus making him owner of Hogwarts. He requested for new keys since Molly has his key and to have everything stolen, artifacts and money to be returned and to move the Potter, Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Slytherin, and Peverell vaults to America. Since he was in the Triwizard Tournament, which was for adults he was thus emancipated and could do what he wanted now since he has control of the vaults(5).
"You okay Harry?" Alan asks five minutes later.
"Somewhat." Harry says. The two stop at a screeching noise. The two look up to see a black crow fly at them. Alan puts out his arm and the crow lands on his arm.
"Hey Sasha." He sees a letter and takes it from her claws ans Sasha moves to his shoulder. He opens the letter and smiles.
"Harry how would you like to come to dinner?" Alan asks.
"I'd love to Alan." Harry says. They go into muggle New York and Harry buys some new clothes. Since he plans on not returning to stay with the Dursley's or Britain. An hour later the two get out of the taxi in front of Alan's house. The two walk in and Harry sees a brown blur that flies into Alan, nut Harry's eyes widen at the voice.
"ALAN CHRISTOPHER ROBERTS! Why weren't you at the airport to get us!" Hermione yells at her cousin.
"M-Mia?" Harry stutters. Hermione turns her head and her eyes widen.
"H-Harry? What are you doing here?" Hermione asks forgetting about ranting at her cousin.
"The Dursley's came to America and I came. I have been in America for about a week." Harry says.
"Hermione, he's why I wasn't at the airport." Alan says.
"What's going on in here?" Thomas Roberts asks walking in with Alan's mother and Hermione's parents.
"Let's go into the family room." Alan says. Everyone goes into the first room to the left. Harry and Alan then explain how they met and what happened at Gringotts.
