Chapter 2
Victor ran as fast as he could towards the Dursleys house. He changed back to human form when more houses appeared. He apparated to the clearing in the woods near the Dursleys house. He walked to Privet Drive and watched as Albus Dumbledore placed baby Harry on the doorstep of Number Four Privet Drive. He waited until Dumbledore left then walked over and picked up Harry with a letter Dumbledore left.
"Don't worry Harry, your Aunt Tabitha and I will take good care of you." Victor said and walked away with Harry. On the street corner a certain cat watched as Victor picked up baby Harry and walked away. The cat bobbed its head then walked away.
July 30, 1991
A ten year old Harry was reading outside. It was a nice, sunny day. He's been learning everything that his uncle Victor Belmont and his Aunt Tabitha knows. He learned how to use his wolf and mist forms. He has white bat projectiles. He has light claws that help him climb better and has angelic wings that helps him jump higher and glide over gaps and short distances. He can also fly with them. He doesn't have his own whip yet. Tabitha has been teaching him about Elven magic and history, as well as Elven Runes. He has been reading the books Tabitha gives him. All of these books has to do with Elves. Right now he is reading about light and shadow magic. He can also read, write, and speak the Elvish language. He learned that light magic is only converted neutral power and regenerates slowly over time. The book said when the light magic is used it surrounds the bearer in the sacred fire which is a blue flame aura. The damage you do to an enemy heals you. But you need the Light Medallion to use it.
"That sounds like it could be useful." Harry said. He went back to reading and turned the page. The next page said that shadow magic surrounds the bearer in a reddish-orange aura and greatly increases the damage you do to an enemy. But you will need the Shadow Medallion to use it.
"That will really come in handy." He said.
"Harry, come inside quick. A storm is coming." He heard his aunt Tabitha call. Harry closed the book and went back to the house. They lived in a four bedroom house that was surrounded by trees. Harry looked around and could see dark rain clouds coming their way. Harry was wearing a blue green short sleeve shirt (it's a cotton button down shirt), brown pants, and brown comfortable boots. Harry didn't need glasses as he has excellent eyesight. He also has a photographic memory. He wiped his boots before walking inside.
"Lunch is almost ready Harry. What were you reading?" Tabitha asked her nephew.
"Reading about light and shadow magic. There doesn't seem to be a lot of information on them." Harry said and Tabitha nodded her head.
"I know, now go wash up before lunch." Tabitha said and Harry put the book back on the shelf. Harry washed up then they ate lunch. After lunch Harry went and trained more with his claws of light, and finally with his angelic wings in the training room in the basement. With the wings he was able to preform a double jump then glide forward. He was a little better with his white bat projectiles. He got better the more he trained. He was called to eat supper then after he ate and took a shower he read another chapter before going to bed. Tomorrow is his birthday.
July 31, 1991
Harry woke up the next morning to see a familiar white bat hanging upside down from the top of his bed. He smiled at it as he stretched. It opened its eyes and looked at Harry then squeaked.
"Good morning to you too Joe." He said. Harry got out of bed and did his morning routine then got dressed. Joe was no ordinary bat. For one thing it was bigger than a normal bat. Joe was half the size of an owl. Its wingspan is around six feet. Joe could also see without echo location. Joe eats small fruit or small bugs. Harry held open his brown vest that was over a white short sleeve cotton button down shirt. Joe flew down and hung on a leather loop. They went downstairs to the kitchen. Harry put Joe down by a small bowl of berries. Harry saw that his uncle Victor was back.
"Uncle Victor your back. Did you check on the castles?" Harry asked after hugging his uncle. He was careful not to squish Joe.
"Yes, I went to the castles that Trevor and Gabriel Belmont stayed at and left us. They were completely empty. Like someone went in there and took everything. I don't like it. But I looked at the third castle that Trevor and Gabriel suggested. It has some activity in it." Victor said. Tabitha was a little shocked to hear this.
"Did you go inside?" Tabitha asked him.
"I didn't go inside it. I wasn't equipped enough to do so. I saw a few skeleton soldiers outside the castle. I saw movement in some of the windows and something was swimming in the moat around the castle. I found the caretakers of Trevor and Gabriel's castles tied up but still alive. They are in the living room resting and eating. I gave them a high potion then took them to Elven healers. I only trust some members of The Order of Light. Let's finish eating then I'll introduce you to them." Victor said, and they finished eating.
"Were they normal skeleton soldiers?" Harry asked while he washed his dishes.
"No, it was the ones that has the spiked shields and the doubled bladed axes." Victor said.
"That means the source of that castle is getting stronger. When are you going to leave?" Tabitha asked him.
"I don't know. I want to leave as soon as possible but if I wait too long he will be too strong to kill." He said.
"Why don't we leave the day after tomorrow. Harry's birthday is today and tomorrow we can get ready and equipped." She said.
"Agreed my love." Victor said and they went into the living room.
"Master Belmont, we are sorry that we couldn't stop the thieves my lord." Said one of the caretakers with a Russian accent.
"That is alright. This is my wife, Tabitha and our nephew Harry." Victor said.
"Ahh, yes, the boy with two marks." Said the caretaker. He looked at the faded lightning bolt scar on Harry's forehead. He was kneeling in front of Harry. He pushed up his right sleeve and saw the cross on Harry's right shoulder.
"We had that piece of soul removed when we had him examined by a mystical doctor that used to work for the Order of Light. But it was someone I trust." Victor said, and the Russian caretaker nodded.
"Tell me do you still have the ability to talk to snakes?" He asked. Harry looked shocked at this as the only ones that knew were his aunt, uncle, and older cousin – Abigail. Abigail is the twenty year old daughter of victor and Tabitha.
"Yes I do, how did you know?" Harry asked both curious and cautious.
"Forgive me. I am Ivon, caretaker for Master Gabriel's castle. My family has been the caretaker for his castle for generations. The caretakers are trained in the mystic arts and are gifted mediums. This is how I know about your ability to talk to snakes." Ivon said.
"Aye, but we never heard 'em comin', did we. They attacked us silently and from behind. Like the bloody cowards that they are. Me name's Reilly." He said in his Irish accent.
"What do you think uncle, a magic user?" Harry asked.
"It must have been a magic user of some kind. But which type could it have been?" Victor asked.
"We can figure that out later it's Harry's birthday." Tabitha said and Victor nodded.
"Right, here is your first present." Victor said handing his nephew a square medium sized wrapped box. Harry took off the lid to see a round metal ball which he recognized.
"The electric bomb, thanks Uncle Victor." Harry said and hugged his uncle.
"Your welcome. Now this electric bomb is enchanted to return to you after it detonates with an electric sphere that electrocutes your enemies. It can be reused but it will need time to recharge first." Victor said. Harry got the three bladed boomerang as well. It has the same enchantments on it that the electric bomb has.
"Thank you uncle." Harry said and they gave him a big square flat box. Harry opened it and found three items inside. A red leather whip and two medallions.
"The Beast Hunter Whip, The Light Medallion, and The Shadow Medallion. Thank you Uncle Victor, Aunt Tabitha." Harry said smiling at them.
"You are welcome Harry." Tabitha said smiling at her nephew.
"Abigail said she'd come later today with your present." Victor said.
"Ok, There's two owls at the window." Harry said pointing at the window. Ivon opened the window and the two owls flew over to Harry. They landed on the arm of the chair and stuck out the leg with a letter tied to it. Harry took the letters then Victor gave the owls a slice of warm bacon each. After eating the two owls flew out the window.
"So who are the letters from?" Victor asked. Harry saw that one was his Hogwarts letter and the other letter was from Gringotts.
"One is my Hogwarts letter and the other is from Gringotts." Harry said as he looked at the letters. He looked at the Hogwarts letter first.
Hadrian James Potter Belmont
Belmont Home
Living room
Tranquility Forest
He then looked at the one from Gringotts.
To: Hadrian James Potter Belmont
From: Potter Account Manager Ragnok
"Read the one from Gringotts first." Tabitha said and Harry opened the Gringotts letter.
"Dear Mr. Potter Belmont,
We would like you to come in so we can discuss some discrepancies with your account that has come to our attention at your earliest convenience. As well as to discuss the investments of your choosing.
Account Manager,
Goblin Chief Ragnok" Harry read.
"The Goblin Chief is my families' account manager?" Harry asked shocked.
"Yes he is." Victor said. The front door opened and closed a few seconds later.
"Mum, dad I'm back." Abigail said then they heard muffled voices. Abigail walked in with a box wrapped up.
"Abigail." Harry said. He went over and hugged her.
"Happy birthday cousin. Here is your present." She said and handed the present to him. Harry opened it to see set of three dark emerald green robes.
"They are robes made from the scales of an Ironbelly, a Horntail, and a Basilisk. I had them made by a specialist who turned the scales into thread and made these robes. They have all of the resistance to magic that the two dragons and the basilisk does. It has a charm in the thread of the hoods that shadows your face from view when the hood is up." Abigail told him.
"Wicked." Harry said and took one of the robes then put it on. He tied it up tight like Jedi robes. They were snug on him now, and he could move freely.
"I have one more present for you." Abigail said and two people stepped into the living room.
"Mum, dad." Harry said and ran to his parents then he hugged his parents.
"Thank you. This is the best present yet." Harry said, as his parents hugged him back.
"Harry looked at how much you've grown." Lily said looking at Harry.
"What happened that night?" James asked curios.
"The Elves put the two of you in stasis so they could safely remove the killing curse from the both of you. But they found out that there were multiple spells on the both of you. They even removed the spells that was on Harry once Victor got him off of the doorstep of your sister, Petunia. They also removed a piece of Riddle's soul that was in Harry." Tabitha said. Lily and James were not happy when they heard this.
"I told you we never should have trusted Albus Dumbledore." Lily told James, who nodded.
"We had sent the Elven healers to your sister and her son." Tabitha said.
"And what did they find?" Lily asked sounding both worried and curious.
"Spells and charms on them so they would treat Harry badly." Tabitha said and Lily sighs then rubs the bridge of her nose.
"Petunia got a divorce from Vernon now Remus and Sirius are tutoring Petunia with her magic." Victor said.
"That's good to hear. Wait, someone put a block on my sister's magical core?" Lily asked getting angry.
"It's Harry's 11th birthday Lily." Victor said trying to calm her down.
"We missed ten years of his life. And in September he'll be off to Hogwarts." Lily said sadly. James rubbed her back.
"We were going to go to Diagon Ally after the party." Victor said.
"I got my Hogwarts letter and a letter from Gringotts." Harry said. He gave the two letters to his parents. They read the Gringotts letter then looked worried. Harry carried his presents to his room. Then came back down.
"I wonder what's wrong with our accounts." Lily wondered.
"I don't know. But we'll go there and find out." James said.
"Let's eat then we can go to Diagon Ally." Victor said. They had some cake then got ready to go to Diagon Ally. Ivon and Reilly was going with them because it was their job to protect the young generation of the Belmont clan. The group apparated to the Leaky Cauldron then James, Lily, And Harry put their hoods up on their robes. This hid their face in shadow. James and Lily were walking ahead of Harry with Abigail holding his hand. Victor and Tabitha were walking on either side of Harry and Abigail. Ivon and Reilly walked behind the group. They made their way through the pub then opened the archway into the ally. They walked to Gringotts then went inside and to the next available teller.
"How can I help you?" Asked the goblin. James hands the letter to the goblin who read it.
"We are here to see our account manager about what was said in that letter." James said. The goblin slid a dagger and a piece of parchment forward.
"To confirm your identity." The goblin said. James pricked his finger and put three drops of blood on the parchment. Both Lily and Harry did the same as James did. On the parchment appeared three names.
James Charlus Potter
Lily Rose Potter nee Evans
Harry James Potter Belmont
"Identities confirmed. Griphook bring these people o Chief Ragnok." He said and another goblin came up to them.
"Follow me please." Griphook said and they followed him to Ragnok's office. Griphook knocked on the door then stuck his head in. A few seconds later Griphook pulled his head out.
"You may enter." Griphook said and the group walked in. Ivon and Reilly stood on either side of the door inside the office.
"It's good to see you Lord and Lady Potter. And the Belmonts as well. Well let's get down to business. There seems to be withdrawals from from family vault by Albus Dumbledore. I don't think he has permission to do this but he has your key." Ragnok said. Lily and James were not happy about this.
"He does not have permission. We want new keys to all our vaults made and everything he took out we want it back." Lily said in a deadly calm voice.
"I will make new keys and the old ones will disappear. All of the items will be magically retrieved from wherever they are. And we will get back all of the money that was taken out of your vaults. Now young Mr. Potter every Potter has made at least one investment that made money. Your parents invested in a wand crafter. Now it is your turn." Ragnok said. Harry thought about what he should invest in.
"How about computers, cell phones, and Nintendo game systems." Harry said.
"Excellent choices Mr. Potter. I will make the investments." Ragnok said and wrote down what Harry said. He put the parchment in a box and it disappeared. A goblin came in carrying some keys then handed them to Ragnok then left.
"All you need to do is put a drop of blood on them. These are the keys to your vaults and this is the key to the trust vault." Ragnok said. James and Lily put a drop of blood on the other keys and including the family vault. Harry did the same thing to his trust vault key.
"Can I do an inheritance and abilities test?" Harry asked curious as to what he had besides what he got from the Belmonts.
"Of course, just drop five drops of blood onto this parchment." Ragnok said and pushed the parchment and dagger forward. Harry pricked his finger with the dagger and let five drops of blood fall on the parchment. His finger magically healed itself. Words appeared on the parchment.

"All of the houses we know about Harry since your mother and I did the inheritance test right after we graduated Hogwarts." James said.
"All of these abilities are your Harry. We will teach you how to use them safely." Lily said.
"Do you wish to visit your vaults?" Ragnok asked.
"Yes, we would." Lily said. Before leaving Ivon and Reilly told Ragnok about the theft of all the belongings at the two Belmont castles. Ragnok said that they would retrieve everything that was stolen from the Belmont castles.
"Then follow me." Ragnok said.
"James, the rest of us will be waiting up here." Victor said and James nods.
"Alright, we'll be right back." James said. Victor nodded and the Belmonts walked out of the bank to wait. They waited five minutes until the Potters came out.
"I'll take Harry to get his school robes and maybe a traveling cloak. James, you can go buy his books for first year." Lily said and James nodded.
"I'll go with James. Tabitha and Abigail can go get a three compartment trunk for Harry." Victor said. Ivon went with Lily and Harry while Reilly went with Tabitha and Abigail. Lily, Harry, and Ivon walked to Madam Malkin's Robes For All Occasions. Lily explained that her ancestors were the Moonbeam family and they were animal shifters. They were able to shift into any animal that they could imagine. They walked into the shop.
"Hogwarts dear. I have another young man in the back." Madam Malkin said. Lily went to look at traveling cloaks while Harry and Ivon went to the back. He could always use these robes as everyday robes. He saw a boy with black hair on a stool with another woman fitting him for his school robes. The boy's mother looked at Harry then smiled.
"Getting your stuff for Hogwarts?" She asked still smiling at Harry.
"Yes ma'am. I'm Harry." He said as Madam Malkin began fitting him for his robes.
"I'm Alice Longbottom and this is my son Neville. My husband is buying his school books and my mother-in-law, Augusta is getting Neville a trunk." Alice said.
"Harry I found a traveling cloak for you. It's dark emerald green on the outside and royal blue on the inside. Alice, it's good to see you again." Lily said as she carried the traveling cloak around to the fitting area the looked up to see Alice. Then the two friends hugged.
"Harry, this is your godmother, Alice and your god brother, Neville." Lily said. Harry smiles at having a brother even if Neville wasn't his blood brother. Neville smiled back at him.
"Your parents are my godparents." Neville said.
"There you go dear. Your robes will be owled to you when they are done." Madam Malkin said and Harry hopped down from the stool. He took the black robe off and handed it back to Madam Malkin. Alice and Lily said good-bye so did Harry and Neville. Lily paid for the traveling cloak and the school robes. She wrote down Harry's name and Madam Malkin put it on the robe so she would know who to send it to.
"Excuse me but I couldn't help notice your robes that you are wearing. Where did you get it?" Madam Malkin asked Harry.
"My cousin Abigail had them custom made from a specialist. She gave him the scales from an Ironbelly and a Horntail dragon. As well as the scales from a basilisk. He turned the scales into thread and made me three set of robes." Harry said to her.
"When you see your cousin could you ask her to come talk to me. I would love to use that thread to make robes for the aurors." Madam Malkin said.
"Ok, I'll ask her." Harry said and they left. Outside they met up with Tabitha, Abigail, and Reilly. Had told Abigail what Madam Malkin wants and Abigail went inside to talk to her. Harry put on the traveling cloak so the royal blue side was showing. He closed the front of the new cloak. Ivon and Reilly stood and looked around.
"Here is his three compartment trunk. His school supplies can go in one compartment, his clothes in another, and his weapons in the last one. It has a feather light charm on it, a rune that makes it shrink then returns it to normal, and a security feature. All you need to do is put a drop of blood on the latch so only you can open it. That is the Elvish rune on the trunk so nobody can remove it because they wouldn't understands what it says." Tabitha said. Abigail came out looking happy.
"Wicked, thanks Aunt Tabitha." Harry said. He pricked his finger and put a drop of his blood on the latch. When he closed the latch it glowed gold for a few seconds. James and Victor came over with Harry's books. He put them in the first compartment. Harry closed then shrunk his trunk and put it in a inside pocket of his new traveling cloak. They got the rest of his school supplies and they were put in the trunk. All they had left was Harry's familiar and wand.
"I told Frank to go to Edward Clyde's Wand Crafting for Neville's wand." James said. Harry felt a pull in two different directions. One was in the direction of Eeylops Owl Emporium and the other was in another direction.
"That's good. What is it sweety?" Lily told James the asked Harry.
"I feel a pull in that direction and another pull in that direction." Harry said and pointed in two different directions.
"Well, let's go to Eeylops Owl Emporium first." James said and they nod. They walked in and Harry walked over to a large egg. Victor had a solid black owl land on his shoulder. Victor went over and bought the owl, a few perches, a cage, and a stand. He also got some owl treats and found out that it's a female Shadow Owl. Victor named her Shadow. The owner watched as Harry touched the egg and it hatched. It pecked Harry's hand then cried in it. His wound healed and the chick grew in a swirl of snow until it was full grown. It looked like a white phoenix with black tips on its feathers. It moved to Harry's forearm and looked at him.
"Ah, I see you bonded with a Blizzard Phoenix. It's even more rare than a Phoenix." Eeylop said and the Blizzard Phoenix glared at Eeylop.
'Master, I am a Blizzard Phoenix Loftwing.' Said a female voice in his head. Harry smiled at this. He bought a cage, a stand, a few perches, some frozen phoenix treats, and the Blizzard Phoenix Loftwing. Harry named her Hedwig which she liked. They went to the Magical Menagerie where Harry bought his second familiar, a silvery gray Wolfos puppy. He named her Lupa. They made their way to Edward Clyde's Wand Crafting and walked inside. Harry had bought two dog bowls, a dog bed, and a collar and leash. The tags were put on the collar.
"James, Lily it's good to see you again." Edward said and hugged his two friends.
"It's good to see you too Edward. We brought Harry here to get his wand." James said. Ollivander walked in the shop holding a red feather.
"Garrick, what brings you here?" Edward asked politely and he was curious.
"I was given a feather of a phoenix that I already have and I thought you could use it." Ollivander said, holding the feather out to Edward who took it.
"Yes I can. I have one for you." Edward said and went in the back of the shop. He came back with a blue feather.
"Ah, a feather from a Water Phoenix." Ollivander said.
"Would you like to witness this Garrick? Young Mr. Potter here is getting his wand." Edward asked then said.
"Of course I would love to." Ollivander said.
"Now Mr. Potter all you have to do is put your hand over each piece of wood to see which one chooses you." Edward told Harry. Harry gave Lupa's leash to his mother then went through the wand materials and two of them glowed.
"Well well Mr. Potter alder wood and white mithril metal. Now for the core materials. Just do the same thing as you did before." Edward said and watched as Harry went through the core materials. He thought about the two wand materials that chose Harry and what that said about him. When Harry was done Edward picked up the two core materials that chose Harry.
"I can see by the four materials that chose you Mr. Potter that you are going to be a powerful light wizard. One that is pure of heart and unyielding. Never to be tempted to the dark side. The hair of a unicorn and the feather of a light phoenix." Edward said smiling. He began chanting over the four materials. The four materials floated in the air and began going in circles then there was a flash of light. When the light faded there was Harry's wand. It has a alder handle and the alder wand was underneath the white mithril. Harry picked it up and felt a warm, friendly feeling go up his arm. The handle was thicker and shaped to fit inside his closed fist.
"How does it feel Mr. Potter?" Ollivander asked.
"Perfect." Harry said staring at his wand. The rest of the wand materials floated back to their places.
"The alder wood and unicorn hair alone says that you are helpful and considerate. It is unyielding so you will be unyielding to go to the dark side. It's suited for non-verbal spell work like charms and transfiguration and it's best for healing. That what those two materials says about you alone Mr. Potter. Now the feather of a Light Phoenix and white mithril. They say that you are pure of heart. If you ever think or people say that you are a dark wizard just look at what makes up your wand Mr. Potter. Or look at your phoenix. Phoenixes never bond with evil or dark wizards only witches and wizards like you Mr. Potter." Ollivander told Harry, who smiled.
"It's seven sickles for each wand and core material so that'll be twenty-eight sickles total please." Edward said and Harry paid him. Edward gave Harry a wand holster for free. It was charmed to be invisible to anyone but Harry. After putting a drop of blood on it. It has an anti-summoning charm, an anti-disarming charm, and their rune counterparts on it. They said good-bye and went back to the Belmont home. Victor and Tabitha got ready to leave the next day to deal with the castle that was showing activity.
They left the next morning and would hopefully be gone a week. Harry began reading his books and playing with Lupa. Ivon and Reilly helped train Harry in his Belmont abilities as well. Harry packed all of his things and the Potters went to Potter Manor. James' parents, Charlus and Dorea Potter moved to America to get away from the war. Ivon, Reilly, and Abigail went with the Potters. When Victor and Tabitha came back they rested for a few days. Then they took Harry and showed him Gabriel and Trevor Belmont's castles. The goblins had gotten everything back from the thieves and back into the castles. The goblins even put up anti-theft charms and runes so thieves wouldn't be able to see the two castles. Harry got some hands on training with his whip, sub-weapons, and his Belmont abilities. When they were done Harry's whip had upgraded to the Beast Hunter Chain Whip. And all to soon Harry was packing his trunk for the next day.
The Next Morning...
'Come on master get up.' Lupa said licking Harry in the face.
"Ok I'm up, I'm up." Harry said pushing Lupa off of him then sitting up. He did his morning routine then got dressed in a red cotton button down short sleeved shirt, underwear, brown pants, socks, and his brown comfortable boots. He shrunk his trunk and put it in his pocket and carried Hedwig's cage and stand downstairs. Hedwig was already downstairs eating. His parents, his aunt Tabitha and Uncle Victor, Abigail, Ivon, and Reilly was sitting around the table eating breakfast.
"Good morning sleepy head. Sit and eat then we can go." Lily said and Harry sat down to eat. Harry fixed a bowl of eggs,sausage, and bacon then put it on the floor besides Lupa's water dish. Lupa began eating while Hedwig ate sausage and bacon. They had sent one of their house-elves ahead to tell the Hogwarts' house-elves what food to fix for Lupa at each meal. After eating Harry put on one of the dark emerald green robes that Abigail had given ti him and tied it like a Jedi does his robes. Harry washed and dried Lupa's food and water bowls then packed them in his trunk. He took Lupa out to use the bathroom then put her in her carrier cage.
"Don't worry Lupa I'll let you out on the train." Harry said, and Lupa barked once. Once everyone was ready they apparated to Platform Nine and Three Quarters. Ivon got a trolly and put the two cages on it. It was ten a.m. so only a few people were there. They found a compartment and Harry took the shrunken trunk out of his pocket, put it in the luggage rack then return it to its normal size. He put Hedwig and Lupa in the compartment as well. He went back out to say good-bye to his family.
"Now be good Harry. And write and tell us which house you are sorted into." Lily said then they hugged.
"I will mum. The Sorting Hat will sort us right?" Harry said then asked.
"Right, now if you prank someone make sure they deserve it." James said smiling.
"James!" Lily said and slapped his arm.
"Ok dad." Harry said laughing and hugged him.
"Remember to keep up with your daily training and exercises." Victor said, and he hugged his nephew.
"I won't forget uncle. Will Ivon and Reilly be coming with me?" Harry answered the asked.
"Yes we will be at Hogwarts when you get there." Ivon said and shook Harry's hand as did Reilly.
"Don't forget to let Hedwig and Lupa out." Abigail said hugging her cousin. The Hogwarts Express was a newer model. It was a more modern passenger train but still the same colors as the old train.
"I love you guys." Harry said and hugged his aunt Tabitha who kissed his cheek. He waved good-bye as they left. He let Lupa out of her cage and opened the door to Hedwig's cage. He put Hedwig's cage on a hook that was underneath the luggage rack. He got a book out to read and Lupa curled up on the seat next to him. He was so caught up in reading that he didn't notice the time. He heard the door open and looked up to see Neville his god brother. They visited each other as well Cassandra Black Harry's god sister. Harry, Neville, and Cassandra thought of each other as siblings.
"Hey Nev have a seat." Harry said and helped Neville put his trunk in the luggage rack and put his owl cage on the hook underneath the luggage rack.
"Hey Harry, Hedwig, Lupa." Neville said and he scratched Lupa behind the ears then he stroked Hedwig's chest feathers. They both liked it and greeted him in their own way. Harry looked at Neville's Long-Eared owl, Chester, who has gray and dark gray feathers.
"Hey Chester, so Neville how does Trevor like his pond?" Harry said then asked.
"He loves it. He's either sitting on a lily pad, hopping around, or swimming. Thanks for the idea." Neville said.
"Your welcome Nev. Ivon and Reilly will also be at Hogwarts to keep up my training." Harry said and the door opened to reveal a girl with busy brown hair.
"May I join you?" She asked sounding shy and a little scared.
"Sure, have a seat." Harry said and she pulled in her trunk. Harry put it in the luggage rack for her. She was surprised at how strong he was to easily lift her heavy trunk.
"I'm Hermione Granger." She said.
"Granger? Are you related to Hector Dagworth-Granger the famous potioneer?" Neville asked.
"I don't know." Hermione answered now wondering if her family was related to this wizard.
"You might be. There are no wizarding Granger or Dagworth families." Neville said.
"There is only one way to be sure." Harry said. He got up and got a few things out of his trunk. He handed Hermione the dagger and uncorked the vial.
"All you need to do is put five drops of blood in the vial. It's for an inheritance test." Harry told her. Hermione did as he told her and put five drops of blood into the vial. Harry corked the vial and put and unbreakable charm on the vial. He put it in a pouch. He wrote a letter to Ragnok saying who the blood was from and what is was for and why. He wrote to take the fee with a tip out of his account.
"Hedwig, I have a job for you. Take this to Ragnok and wait for a reply ok." Harry told her. He folded the letter and put it in the pouch then tied the pouch to Hedwig's leg. Hedwig flew up and vanished in a swirl of snow. Hermione was shocked to see this.
"How did she do that? What kind of owl is she? What kind of dog is that?" Hermione said very fast.
"This is Lupa my Wolfos familiar. Hedwig is a Blizzard Phoenix Loftwing. That is the Blizzard Phoenixes version of flaming. They call it swirling." Harry told her.
"I'm Neville Longbottom and this is my god brother Harry Belmont. This is my Long-Eared owl, Chester." Neville said. Hermione's eyes went wide at Harry's last name.
"Belmont, as in the famous Belmont clan of vampire hunters? What is a Wolfos? What is a Loftwing? I read Phoenixes are rare. So a Blizzard Phoenix is even more rare." Hermione said again very fast.
"Hermione, calm down. Don't try so hard. Yes, that Belmont clan. A Wolfos is another kind of wolf. But Lupa is half Wolfos and half Snow Wolfos. She can go through snow or ice like a fish goes through water. A Loftwing is a giant bird from long ago. From as island in the sky called Skyloft. They were the main source of transportation." Harry told her. Harry stood up and took what looked like a journal out of his trunk. He sat back down and handed the journal to Hermione.
"This is a history of Skyloft and the Loftwings. It has a section about the Wolfos as well." Harry said. Hermione took the book and began reading. The door opened again and in walked Harry's god sister, Cassandra.
"Hey Harry, Neville." Cassandra said, and sat beside Lupa. Harry and Neville put her trunk in the luggage rack. Then hung her owl cage on a hook. In The cage is a solid black owl with gray tips on the feathers. Her owl's name is Lilith.
"Hey Cassie. This is Hermione. Hermione this is my god sister Cassandra Black." Harry said. Cassandra was lightly petting Lupa.
"Hey" Cassandra and Hermione said at the same time. The door opened again and a red haired boy stepped in.
"Mind if I join you?" He asked.
"Sure have a seat." Harry said. Lupa climbed in Harry's lap while Neville helped Ron put his trunk in the luggage rack.
"I'm Ron Weasley." He said, and sat beside Neville and Hermione.
"I'm Harry, this is Neville, Hermione, and Cassandra." He said. The door opened again and a dark skinned girl walked in.
"Mind if I join you?" She asked.
"Have a seat. I'm Cassandra, and this is Harry, Hermione, Neville, and Ron." She said and put slid her trunk underneath the seat. Then sat beside Cassandra.
"I'm Natasha Shacklebolt. I sent my owl on head to Hogwarts." She said. Twin red-heads came in and looked at Ron.
"Ron we'll be with Lee Jordan. He has a giant tarantula in a box. We're Ron's older twin brothers Fred and George." Said one of the twins. Harry looked at the twins faces and noticed that one of them has a large red freckle under his left eye while the other one didn't.
"I'm Harry, this is Hermione, Neville, Cassandra, and Natasha." He said and the twins left. A few minutes later Hedwig swirled back in and landed on Cassandra's leg. Harry took the pouch from Hedwig who then went to her cage. Harry gave her a treat. He took out a letter and a box the handed them to Hermione. She unrolled the letter and read it.
"I am related to Hector Dagworth-Granger. I don't have a seat on the Wizengamot whatever that is. All I have is the key to his vault and his ring making me Lady Dagworth-Granger." Hermione said and opened the box. She put the vault key in her pocket then put the ring on. It sized itself to fit her middle finger on her right hand.
"Congratulations Hermione." Everyone said causing Hermione's face to turn red. They talked to each other for nearly the whole train ride. Hermione gave the journal back to Harry when she was done. The door opened and there was the lady with a trolly of snacks.
"Anything from the trolly dears?" She asked and they all got a little something. Lupa was curled up in her dog bed below the window. They shared what they had with Ron and Hermione. When they were almost there the slipped on their robes over their clothes. Lupa had her collar and vest on. Harry was holding her leash after he hooked it to her collar so she didn't run off and get lost. It was dark when they arrived.
"Firs' years over here! Firs' years over here! Alright Harry?" Hagrid called out then asked Harry while holding a lantern above his head. Harry met Hagrid over the summer and he liked Hagrid.
"This way, follow me." Hagrid said and led the first years down a path. It was a little slippery but it wasn't to narrow. Hagrid was the definition of the phrase gentle giant.
"Yeh'll be able ter see Hogwarts in a sec." Hagrid told them. The path opened up as they rounded a corner.
"Oooooh!" Everyone let out. Hogwarts stood on the other side of a large black lake. They made it to the boats and was able to get in four to a boat. Harry, Cassandra, Neville, and Natasha got in one with Lupa laying in the center of all four of them. They made it to the other side and Hagrid led them to a pair of large metal double doors. He took a large fist and banged on the door.
