Hello readers and welcome to my new chapter. Now, I want to tell you guys what I plan to do for right now. As the title suggest, I'm gonna be skipping a year later. But also, I'm gonna put in flashbacks for the chapters, to show you what Harry had been up to during that year. I'm thinking of doing that with each big time skip I do. So, I hope you enjoy.

Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter.

Chapter 01: A Year Later

(Flashback)

Harry slowly get up, not making a noise of discomfort. As he got up from his position on the ground, he notice that the area around doesn't seem so blurry anymore. It's….clear. Clearer than any other time in his life.

He also notice something about his body. It's not in pain. In fact, it was like he didn't receive the cut in the first place.

Then he look at himself, seeing that he's wearing more comfortable clothing instead of the rags Vernon gave him. "Is this me?" Harry asked himself. Suddenly, he heard rustling from behind him and he turn around to see a young deer coming towards him. "Um, hi?" Harry said nervously, wondering why the animal coming closer to him. Also wondering how on earth he knows it's a dear.

The deer slowly walk over to him cautiously, as Harry watches it. Then suddenly, the animal suddenly launched itself at the boy, getting a yelped from him. Then he started laughing as the deer started licking him.

"Okay, okay, let me up." Harry laughed as the deer kept licking him, before getting off of him to let up him. Harry giggled some more as he petted the young deer. "You're a really nice girl, aren't you?" Harry asked, smiling.

As Harry got up from the ground, he felt a bit parch. He hasn't drank anything in awhile, so he's at least a bit thirsty. "Do you know anywhere I get some water?" Harry asked, wondering if the deer can understand him.

In response, the deer kneel down at his side, silently telling him to get on. Harry smile before getting onto the deer, and after that, it started walking towards the lake, Harry guessed.

It took a little while, but the two made it to a very beautiful, with lilies around the place. As Harry got off the deer and walk over to to the lake to get himself a drink, he stopped when he saw the reflection of himself. And what he saw, shocked him.

"What happen to my body?" Harry gasped in wonder. "And my eyes?" He skin seems to be pure white, his body more lean and healthy, and his eyes turn from green to blue. Also, he notice that the scar on his forehead has faded so much, that he could barely notice it.

"Is this actually me?" Harry questioned, examining himself. "It's like I was….reborn." Slowly, but surely, Harry got a big smile on his face. Escaping those people may have been the best thing he ever did.

(Flashback End)

It's been a year since he escaped. Since he nearly died in the forest. Since he woke up into….something else. A spirit, perhaps.

Ever since then, he had been traveling all around not only London, but the whole Earth itself. He discovered that he gained several abilities, one of them being teleportation and flying. Not only that, but he had the knowledge to do so, along with the other abilities.

As he traveled, he learned all kinds of history and culture, mundane and magical alike, as well as helped many people as he traveled. From giving them a compassionate hand to stopping criminals from harming others, Harry doesn't hesitate to help those in need of it.

Currently, the young boy is in France, with a family called the Delacours. He's at one of the guest rooms, reading a book of the British wizard world. He met the Delacours a few months after he changed, meeting Apolline Delacour. At first, he didn't trust her much, due to his experience with his adults. But after feeling the compassion within her heart, Harry decided to trust her. And in return, he meet Sebastian Delacour, her husband, and Fleur and Gabrielle, Apolline's daughters.

After a few days, the family found out he was homeless. When they did, all of them offered a place here. While Harry is grateful for the invitation, he told them that he wanted to travel around the world for a while. At first, the two parents were skeptical of a young boy traveling around by himself. But then Harry shows his skill sets.

Teleportation. Flying. Invisibility. Everything that he could use to get around places safely, plus some powers he can use to defend himself. All of them were amazed at what he could do.

While Harry refuse the offer to stay there, he does come visit from time to time. These are one of these days. As Harry read about Diagon Alley, he spotted where the the place is located. He smiled at that. Finally, he can go to their Gringotts and get what he needs.

As he close his book, he heard footsteps coming towards his door. He look up as the door opened, revealing Apolline Delacour.

Apolline is a beautiful young woman, with long blonde hair and blue eyes, though not similar to his. Her hourglass figure, along with the expensive clothing on her, is accompanied by a motherly smile on her face.

"Hello Harry." Apolline said to him in French. "I was just checking on you, see how you are doing." Harry smile at her, as he close the book.

"I'm doing great." Harry told speaking, speaking fluent French. His traveled had him learning several languages from all over, from spanish to french to different type of japanese. "I just found out where to find Diagon Alley. When I get to Gringotts there, I'll be able to find out more about my family."

Apolline smile brightly at that. "That's great Harry!" Apolline said, sitting at Harry's side and giving him a one arm hug. Harry closed his eyes and lean in, feeling the compassion from her surrounding him. "Is there anything you need from us? Anything we can help with?"

Harry shook his head, jumping off the bed. "I think I can go by myself, without anyone noticing me." Harry told her. "If I need any help, I'll make sure to call you or Sebastion."

Appoline nodded to that, knowing that the young boy is capable of taking care of himself. "Are you going to tell Gabrielle and Fleur that you're leaving?" Harry didn't hesitate to nod at that.

Ever since he met them, his relationship with the Delacour sisters turn from a friendship to a sibling bond. He saw little Gabrielle as a little sister while Fleur is his older sister, playing with him and teasing him.

"I'll make sure to tell them." Harry said as he leave the door. Before he went to their room, however, Harry look towards. "And by the way, I have to thank you again." Harry said, bowing to her a little. "It's such a relief to to know I don't have to go back to those people."

Apolline eyes soften at that. Over the months, she and Sebastian found out that Harry had been nearly killed by his uncle and aunt. The two were obviously angry and heartbroken that someone would try to kill a sweet boy, so Sebastian use his influence as head auror to make sure those two in jail. It was a bit hard, due to them being in Britain, but he got it done without ruining his reputation.

"You don't have to think us Harry." Apolline told him softly. "Those people deserved to go in prison. Me and Sebastian were happy to help."

"Still though, I must thank you." Harry told her politely before going off to see Fleur and Gabrielle. Appoline giggled. Such a polite young boy.

(Diagon Alley)

Soon, after saying goodbye to the Delacour family, Harry teleported to the Leaky Cauldron, where Diagon Alley. As he got near the door, he got assaulted with many emotions, from positive to negative. He quickly block the massive amount of emotions, so he wouldn't get overwhelmed, but he could still feel how other feels in an extant.

As he went into the cauldron, he look around to see a few wizards and witches here. He can also sense that the magic inside them isn't so strong as those in France, Japan, the USA, and other countries. He isn't surprised, seeing that Britain is ranked for having the weakest wizards and witches, with only a few becoming strong.

As he passes all the magic users here, he walk towards the hidden entrance where Diagon Alley is located. As the entrance opened, he saw Diagon Alley in all it's glory.

'Well,' Harry thought as he walk through the small market. 'Time to see who my family really is.'

And that's the end. I hope all of you liked the chapters. As you can see, Harry have been very busy during the years, and traveled nearly everywhere. He also met the Delacours during his travels, who you might or might not see more of the story progresses. Don't even ask about Fleur or Gabrielle pairing up with Harry, I already decided on Harry/Luna. Review, favorite, and follow this story and I will see you guys later.
