Chapter 2- A huntsmans Training

A lone emerald green eye watched intently as his opponents circled him, Beowolves, creatures of Grimm prowled around him trapping the ten-year-old boy within a circle, all of them having pitch black fur, bone white masks covering their faces with red marking all over them, glowing red eyes and bone white spikes and armour plating covering their hind legs

One of the Beowolves charged in running on its hind legs with its front right paw raised up high intent of slashing the boy into pieces, suddenly a black piece of wood struck the beast in the stomach making it hiss in pain before the wood struck its cheek and sent it crashing to the floor.

Connecting to the black piece of wood was a dark silver, metallic orb acting as a handle, which was in the firm grip of a now ten-year-old Pheonix Arc, formally known as Harry Potter, at first glance, gone was the abused, frail boy that had manage to escape the Durley household.

The greasy raven hair was now cleaned and even had a shine to it although there did seem to be a f strands of grey hair, his body was no longer skinny and he was even starting to develop a little bit of muscle for someone of his age. Whilst the signs of his past life were still there they acted more like a reminder of who Phoenix used to be and how far he had come in changing himself and his life

Finally gone were the torn, clothes too big for Phoenix, now being replaced by a pair of black dress pants, a dark purple dress shirt that was very close to the same colour as the purple Nemesia flowers that were found in the wild and finally a pair of black combat boots

A strange projectile soon caught Phoenix's attention causing him to dodge, jumping backwards and landing onto his hands Phoenix managed to evade another projectile as he did another flip landing on his feet, the boy's left food hitting the ground first and supporting his weight before his right leg touched the floor along with the cane, looking up his eye narrowed upon seeing the insect type Grimm known as a Lancer.

Flicking the cane, to his right a little hook seems to pop out from the bottom of the wooden walking stick, with his strength, Phoenix threw his cane forward, the little hook shot out and sailed through the air

Wrapping around the wings of the Lancer that shot at him, Phoenix soon pulled back his cane and causing the Lancer to crash into the ground before twirling his cane around his shoulders and blocking a claw strike that came from behind him.

Pushing the creatures claw away, Phoenix moved his cane around and soon smashed the metal handle against his attacker's foot causing the Beowolf to howl in pain before an uppercut sent the creature of Grimm stumbling backwards

Out from the sight of his left eye, Phoenix managed to see another Lancer firing its stinger towards him, barely managing to duck out the way of the bullet, Phoenix moved a small ring on the handle of his cane clockwise once.

Using his own good leg Phoenix jumped into the air, from the side of the cane that was facing Phoenix, a small wire came out. Feeling the power within him grow, Phoenix concentrated and managed to create an arrow made out of magical energy.

Pulling the wire back, his cane now acting as a bow, Phoenix launched the arrow directly at the Lancer's chest before the magical energy explode sending the insect type Grimm flying backwards as Phoenix soon fell back to the floor, however it was his right leg that landed first.

The sound of a sicking crunch was heard as the young boy cried out pain, crumbling to the floor, the cane in his hand sent skidding across the floor.

Crawling towards the wooden stick, Pheonix reached out his right hand only for it to get stepped on causing the young boy to hiss in pain.

The Beowolf that had stepped onto his hand, placed a paw onto Phoenix's head and began to squeeze, its claws breaking through the skin and causing the boy to bleed, soon enough the creature opened up its large maw intent on biting Phoenix's head off

However just before it bit down a spiked whip appeared and wrapped itself around the Beowolf's throat, before ripping it right off and killing the beast instantly

*CRASH*

Phoenix looked up see Violet who had saved him using her whip, suddenly hit from behind and sent flying through a wall, her aura deflecting most of the damage and making sure she wasn't dead but seeing her get tossed around like that made guilt build up in Phoenix as if he didn't injure himself then she wouldn't have gotten hurt.

Turning to see what had hit Violet, the ten-year-old boy locked his one good eye with an Ursa Major. A large, powerful bear like Grimm, narrowing his eye as the beast noticed him, the bear like Grimm began to charge towards the defenceless boy

As the Grimm became closer and closer Phoenix reached behind him and pulled out a large white combat pistol, Pheonix waited for the Ursa Major to get closer enough that he could smell the beast's breath

Violet, not seeing the combat pistol in Phoenix's hand jumped to her feet, her eyes actually had fear in them not wanting to see the only person that she truly cares about get slaughtered

"Phoenix!"

*BOOM*

…

"I thought father banned you from using that weapon?" Violet said with a smirk on her face, the brother and sister were currently making their way back towards their house, Phoenix looked down at his feet as he limped down the street, the black wooden cane helping him keep his balance

"He did but I didn't want it left being unattended" the boy replied, the smirk on Violet's face grew wider

"you mean you didn't want the weakling to mess with it" the cold-hearted whip user said with a raised eyebrow, Phoenix frowned slightly at the jab Violet took at his adopted older brother

"Please don't call Jaune that. He could just be a late bloomer that's all" it was Violet's time to frown when she heard the boy's reply, no matter what she did, Phoenix never liked it when she insulted Jaune and often talked back to her about it.

"Moving away from the disappointment, I should congratulate you. You're getting better every day" Violet spoke with a smile on her face, moving her hand towards Phoenix's head, intent on giving him a little pat, the boy however quickly moved back and eyed the hand warily, his grip on the cane growing firmer

"Ah" Violet instantly saw the problem and sighed, retracting her hand away from Phoenix " we really do need to get you little problem fixed"

"I know sis, I'm am trying to overcome it" Phoenix replied whilst bowing his head

"It's alright little brother, these types of things take time. Besides your already making fast progress in other arenas, I've heard that your etiquette lessons are going very well with mother, and father believes that it is time to introduce you to some of the more 'higher' standing citizens"

"Do you really think I'm ready" the boy replied with pride in his voice, he had gone from a snivelling abused boy to a child that could fight all sorts of Grimm

"Of course, I've heard father is even deciding to replace Jaune as his heir and hand it to you. No doubt that our sisters would be happy and perhaps it would make the disappointment try to at least correct some of the embarrassment that he had brought to our family name"

"However for now we still need to work on your balance and landing. That fall onto your leg was met with a rather loud crunch. We should get it looked at quickly"

"Of course, I'll get mother to set up an appointment with the hospital as soon as we get home" Phoenix answered, before long however they soon stopped as a lone building caught the eye of Phoenix's single eyes

"What it is brother?" Violet asked as she saw the interested look in the boy's eyes, turning her head she read the name of the building

"Gringotts. What kind of name is that" the rising huntsman that has been offered a job as a specialist in the Atlesian military spoke to herself

"It's the name of a bank, the question is what's it doing here. I'll catch up to you later on sister, there is something I wish to know"

Phoenix answered her question and then began to limp his way towards the bank, a worldwide known bank that is in fact meant to be in the magical world and run by Goblins so why is it here of all places?

"Wait a minute, I'm not leaving you and letting you walk into some unknown bank" the eldest Arc sister announced as she stormed after her little brother, she had no clue on what this Gringotts was but if anything were to happen to Phoenix she would tear this place apart

"Gringotts is not unknown, at least not to me anyway. The bank is a place that belongs in my past life"

Violet's eyes widened at hearing the boy's answer, she didn't know much about her adopted brothers past as the boy never wanted it talk about it, all she knew is that her little brother lived a life of neglect and abuse, it's was the reason he was half blind, crippled and suffering from Haphephobia

Upon opening the doors, they were met with at least twenty, short, stunted ugly looking people all with pointed ears, slanted black eyes and sharp rigged teeth. All of them looking at all types of precious jewels through microscopes, there was even some looking at finally grained dust all of types of elements

There were quite a few of guard surrounding the place as well, all of the cloaked in armour holding spears and swords, all of the looking like they used dust. As the two siblings walked past all of the stunted creatures would stop and stare at them

"What are these things, their more hideous than Faunus are" Violet growled, reaching for the handle of her whip when she noticed a few of the creatures reaching for their weapons

"Their known as Goblins dearest sister and I would beg you not to provoke them. They are a very powerful and skilled warrior race that can cut through flesh as easily as they can cut off people's money"

"Goblin's? You mean the creatures that are in one of your books?" Violet questioned making Phoenix turn and glare at slightly

"Have you been stealing my books, I believed the entire family agreed that they wouldn't go snooping amongst those pages"

"I found Jaune reading one and snatched it off the weakling, I read one page that talked about a powerful warrior race"

Phoenix didn't reply to that and continued to walk down the aisle leading towards the branch manager's podium, upon reaching it Phoenix had to look closer as he found something familiar about this one goblin

"Griphook?" Phoenix spoke causing the branch manager to stop whatever he was doing, peering over the wood the goblin stared down at the young boy before a fanged smile stretched onto his face

"Mr Potter. Well it is a surprise seeing you hear. May I ask how exactly you are here?" The goblin asked making Phoenix smile slightly, having the goblin remember him made things quite easier

"I'm not sure actually, I apparated myself here, apparently we're in a place called Remnant" Phoenix said making the goblin nod slightly

"Indeed, however I see you don't actually know where Remnant is do you" with a shake of the boy's head the goblin continued "we're inside the Bermuda triangle. Powerful magic erected the barrier around this place as the creature you call Grimm invaded magical lands everywhere and tore right through it"

"Interesting. But if I might ask, why are you here?"

"Ah yes, well our branch manager in magical England Ragnok had decided that the elemental power known as Dust here was worth mining and investigating to see if we could make a profit out of it. So due to my high position after you helped me out he sent me and named me the Remnant Branch Manager"

"Then let me be the first human to congratulate you" Phoenix smiled, Violet stood of to the side and felt out of place slightly, her younger brother seemed to be friends of some sorts with the odd-looking creature

"I suppose I should take my leave, I can see you still haven't finished completely the building and I'm sure you have a lot of work to do" Phoenix announced as he shook the hand of the Goblin

"Before you go my little friend, I meant to give you this however I didn't get the chance to after your parents shipped you away"

Placing a cloaked item onto his desk, Griphook soon pulled the cloak of revealing a shining silver blade, its hilt was golden and set with egg sized rubies all around it, on the bottom of the hilt was the Godric Gryffindor engraved into it

"I'm not sure if you know this but recently your twin brother was named the Potter Heir, a title that rightfully belonged to you. Since this now means that you are actually disowned from the Potter family you can take up the titles and vaults of your ancestors like we agreed upon"

"I'll contact Ragnok as soon as I can and tell him to transfer the Gryffindor and Slytherin vaults, I'll also notify that Harry Gryffindor-Slytherin is living in Remnant as happy as can be"

"If I may Griphook. When the vaults arrive, I would like you to combine the two and place them into a new vault and under a new name"

"May I ask what name?"

"The Arc family if you would please" Phoenix replied as he picked up the shining blade that was the sword of Gryffindor, the very same blade that was once used by the one of the founders of Hogwarts Godric Gryffindor and most of all James Potters idol, it will funny to the man's face if they ever meet again

…

"So, you're a millionaire?" Violet spoke up as they made their way back towards the Arc family household, the recent visit to the Gringotts bank made Violet really want know more about her adopted brother's past

"it depends on what the money transfer it is like. I don't know what a Galleon is to the amount of a Lein so for now you could say I am"

"And what about that sword. Are you going to learn sword fighting now and use it" Violet asked, she was slightly hoping that he didn't, the sword didn't look like it used dust and defiantly didn't seem like it was going to change into a different weapon like most weapons these days.

"No, I have my cane as well as my other weapon, I'll most likely just be hanging on the wall or be more of a ceremonial blade"

"I see, so what now?" Violet questioned, the cold-hearted whip user had hoped her younger brother would join atlas like she did, perhaps he could melt ice around her rival Winter.

"Now I suppose I continue training until I'm older enough to join an academy that will train me in becoming a huntress, like you said I need keep on training with my balance so I don't damage my leg any further"

"Being half blind also gives me a large disadvantage on the field when facing opponents, I will need help leaning to sense those that are out of my field of vision"

"I'm sure Jaune would be happy to help, after all, it's the duty of an older brother to protect his younger siblings" Violet spoke, mocking Jaune as she normally did

Phoenix sighed to himself, he didn't like how Violet bullied and insulted Jaune every chance she got. Yes, nearly the entire family mocked the older male Arc child but Violet just seemed to make it her mission to put the boy down whenever he was in her presence

Sometimes Phoenix agreed with his family, living a life of abuse had made Phoenix much tougher than he looks. Whilst on the outside he was appeared more like a shy boy that was uncomfortable in almost any other person presence.

Phoenix's mind was as sharp as it could be, making all sorts of escape plans and battle strategies, at first, he had to escape Dudley's group of bullies or try to worm his way out of being punished but then it later on turned into ways of killing Grimm, disarming opponents and quickly thinking of to turn the tide in battle.

'Now that I think about it, perhaps Griphook could help me get a wand. I can create arrows out of magical energy and create small illusions of myself but to fully use the capabilities of magic I need an instrument to channel it through'

"Come along then little brother. We need to get your leg looked at remember" Violet announced breaking Phoenix out from his thoughts as the two made their way towards the Arc family household
