Disclaimer: I own nothing. I just like to play with the toys. I'll be sure to put them back after I'm done.
Note: I will hopefully get the next chapter out as soon as I can. Within the week I promise.
"Momma! I can't do this anymore." Harry cried into Mary's shoulder. Mary held her fifteen year old kitten closer. "Sirius is dead because of me and now they threatened Vernon. He's going to be even worse!" He sobbed as Mary ran a soothing hand up and down his back.
"Kitten, I'm sure that I can take you away, I just need to get rid of the tracking charms on you and your possessions. I would have you do it but they are tracking your magic as well. We need to call your Mum." She told him soothingly.
Harry nodded into her shoulder. "Can we go see Remy? He's in the Potter Manor." He told her, "He can help us get to the States! We need to get out of here now!" He said wiping away his tears.
Mary sighed trying to find a way they could in fact join Remus and leave to go to the states. "We will have to wait until the first beating. I will pose as child services and you will have to pull his anger toward you when he answers. Do you think you can do it Kitten?" She asked softly rubbing Harry's back. "Then I can take you away to Remy and we can all go to the States."
"Will I get to meet your boys Momma?" He asked softly taking comfort in the touch of Mary. They had made it to Number 4 without incident, as soon as they arrived Vernon had locked Harry in the cupboard for being 'ungrateful' it had been years since they had been down here and it was still expanded as it had been the first time Mary had arrived. Over the years it had expanded to include a type of garden for herbs, a potions lab, a training room, kitchen, and bedroom. They happened to be sitting in the 'living' room of sorts. It was full of random pieces of furniture that had appeared whenever Harry had been in a bad mood or thinking of a certain color of chair and such. They sat on the large Slytherin green chair.
Mary thought for a moment and shrugged. "I have no idea, though I would love to see them all again. Lily told me that Sam has been driving his father and Dean insane with his wanting to be 'normal'. I can never see Sammy having a normal life." She told him sadly. Harry put his head on her shoulder.
"Tell me about Dean again? Please?" He asked as she chuckled and began to talk rocking Harry slowly off to sleep.
Once Harry was asleep Mary called out to Lily. She appeared with the usual fluttering of wings. "Lily, I have to take him away from here." She said as soon as Lily had stopped looking at Harry asleep on the couch to Mary.
"I know we are working on the charms now and Harry must go face down Vernon." She said sadly tears working their way of her eyes. "Tell him we love him and that he will be with Remy soon." She told Mary after a moment of silence. "I must go and help with the charms. Your plan will work, I will make sure. James will be there to protect Harry from as much harm as possible and the goblins will be sending the proper paperwork. This will be official." Lily's voice had taken on a steely tone suggesting that she was not happy with what was happening. "Thank you for keeping Vernon away from him," she finally said. Mary smiled and nodded before watching Lily move over to her son and kiss his forehead.
Lily slowly turned back to Mary one hand still in Harry's messy black hair. "You have to be ready in two days' time," she ordered Mary. "That is when we can strike and make sure to have all the charms off Harry. Good Luck." Lily smiled at Mary moving to hug her tightly. "You'll see your boys soon. You deserve to see them." Lily told her with a grin before kissing Mary's cheek. Mary closed her eyes and felt the brush of a hand before she heard the flutter of wings signaling Lily's departure.
Harry woke slowly to Mary's soft singing. She was in the little kitchenette as she cooked something. Harry struggled to get a grip on the realm of the living. He sighed knowing that he had been having night terrors again. It was two days after their conversation and Mary's conversation with Lily. Mary was prepared but she didn't want Harry to have to deal with Vernon for this to be over.
Harry knew what today was and he already had a plan for how to piss off Vernon. It was rather easy he would just speak Latin under his breath as he cleaned by the door. Mary would watch until the beating had really started and Vernon had made sure to leave visible marks, before she would knock on the door and be the person from child services.
Harry stretched as he got up and looked over at Mary. She smiled and raised the skillet she was holding. "How do you feel about pancakes?" she asked as she set the skillet down to finish the last pancake.
Harry stretched again as he stood. "Pancakes sound wonderful," he said his stomach growling. He sat down at the little table and looked over as Mary dished up two plates and decked them out with what she knew they each wanted on their plate. She brought them over before sitting down herself and eating.
Harry knew that angels didn't have to eat but it made him feel better when he wasn't the only one eating. As soon as he started to dig in there was a pounding on the cupboard door. "BOY! Get out here and cook me some damn food!" Vernon called as he rapped again.
Harry smiled. "Time to start the operation." He told Mary before he turned around to face the door. "One moment Uncle," he called before digging into his own breakfast. They heard Vernon huff before he walked to the kitchen. Harry ate quickly but he was not in a hurry to get out there and cook for Vernon. He finished his meal and stood as there was another rap at the door.
"Get out here now freak or I'll drag you out of there. This is how you repay us for taking you in?" Vernon hollered as Harry grinned and called back out that he was sorry and he was coming out now. Waving his hand he was dressed and Mary was dressed in ladies suit. Harry tipped his head to Mary before crawling out of the cupboard. He stood quickly when his uncle grasped the back of his neck.
"Kitchen now boy!" He growled. Harry nodded and started walking to the kitchen. He then looked to the side to see Mary standing there with a serene smile. He nodded slightly to her as he passed. He got to the kitchen and looked around. What was Vernon's least favorite breakfast food? He thought for a moment before deciding that Vernon had always disliked scrambled eggs and toast. Sighing Harry got to work he worked slowly taking great pleasure in making the eggs too runny and burning the toast. Harry dished up the food placing it where Vernon usually sat before starting to wash the dishes. Hearing Vernon enter Harry put away the freshly cleaned dishes before heading out of the kitchen to the door. He knew that Vernon would be pissed and that he should wait by the door. He grasped the amulet Mary had given him. 'A protection charm' she had said as she placed it around his neck he toyed with it until he heard Vernon's yelling. Staying on the stairs Harry waited.
Vernon sighed as he sat down at watched the freak exit the kitchen. Better to eat in peace he thought. 'Hope the boy didn't foul this up too.' Vernon told himself before he picked up the paper and his fork. Not looking at the food Vernon took a forkful of the food before making a noise at some of the news in the paper. Opening his mouth his took the bite before spitting out the egg. He could feel the uncooked slime running down his throat. Reaching for his tea he took a sip before letting out a loud curse. The boy had made the bloody tea scalding! Dropping the tea cup the liquid made its way down the front of Vernon's suit shirt as he shouted out trying to keep the scalding trail away from his 'precious' parts. Pounding his fist on the table Vernon got the food off his plate in his face as he had hit the outer edge of the plate. Cursing loudly Vernon wiped the runny eggs off his face and tried to wipe the scalding tea off the front of his shirt. Yelling out to the boy he got no response and cursed once more before stomping out of the kitchen. He spotted the freak on the steps and he yelled at him before noticing the slight smirk on the raven's lips. Vernon grabbed the dark locks of hair twisting them in his fist before pulling the freak onto his tiptoes. "You think this is ruddy funny?" Vernon hissed.
The blubbery man raised his other hand clenching it into a fist before he let it fly trying to beat the smug look off of his nephew's face. Pushing the freak back onto the stairs with a magnitude of force behind it Vernon smiled when he heard a crack and a pained gasp from the raven. "You think that ruining my breakfast is a good thing to do?" He yelled when he loomed over the boy and started to let the punches and kicked rain down on the boy taking joy in each pained sound spewing from the lips.
Harry could sense death in the way Vernon was beating him. He could feel his magic working to heal the injuries as much as it could when there was a loud knock at the door. Vernon looked at the door then down at the boy. "Well get it boy!" He said stepping back. Harry slowly got up and made his way to the door another knock sounding. Vernon watched Harry and the door intently when Harry pulled it open. He heard a very feminine sounding gasp. Moving behind the freak he glared at the lady.
"Hello my name is Marie Smith. I am from child services. We got a call from some worried neighbors when they heard yelling and someone yelling out in pain. I came as soon as the call reached me and it seems I was not a minute late." The woman, Mary, grabbed Harry and pulled him to her. Glaring at the fat whale of an uncle her eyes narrowed and iced over. "You should be ashamed of yourself!" She told him. Turning to look at Harry she ruffled his hair. "What's your name sweetie?" She asked Harry looked at her before glancing with fearful eyes at his uncle.
"H-harry." He said acting as if he didn't know who this woman was.
"Well Harry you will be coming with me. Let's get your stuff." She said pushing both of them past Vernon her arm around Harry's shaking shoulders. Harry looked up at Marie and then nodded and pointed to the cupboard.
"All my stuff is in there. I'll go get it." He said wrapping his arms around himself before he opened the cupboard and shut the door. As soon as the door was shut Harry waved a hand and watched as the mini apartment changed back into the cupboard and his stuff sat on his old bed. Holding his arm close to his body he pulled his things from the cupboard. "Here it is." He said pulling the trunk and owl cage from the cupboard. He set them to the side before looking over at Vernon who was turning a lovely purple color. Harry looked between his Uncle and Marie, before he ran the hide behind Marie.
"Mr. Dursely, I need to speak with Mr. Potter, is there a place we can have a chat?" She asked the purple faced man. He pointed silently to the living room. He was thankful that Petunia and Dudley were away at the moment. Vernon sighed and rubbed at his eyes before heading to the kitchen to get some real food. He grumbled under his breath as he stalked past the two persons.
Harry stifled his giggles as he tried to make sure that Vernon had no idea that is was his plan. He pressed into Marie's back and as soon as the kitchen door closed Harry was giggling. Marie smiled looking down at her charge. "Let's go to the lounge and speak as if I am legit." She whispered hugging Harry and pulling him to the lounge. They talked for a few minutes on the reasons she was taking him away and his opinion of the Dursely household. Harry grinned at the noise coming from the kitchen before Marie stood. "Mr. Dursley," she called. The man came lumbering in. "I will be taking Harry as well as sending in an inquiry into your son's wellbeing. Harry will be placed with loving caretakers and you will no longer have anything to do with his upbringing, funds, or wellbeing." Taking Harry's arm she smiled waving her hand and making the luggage vanish. "Have a good day." She said with a grin before taking Harry away.
Once they were outside and in the car, Harry started to laugh. Mary laughed along with him as she put the vehicle into gear. "How did I do Kitten?" She asked with a smirk. Harry nodded wiping away tears of mirth from his eyes.
"Bloody brilliant!" He told her with a grin. "He was so scared, and I bet his reaction to the breakfast was amazing as well." He explained what he had done to Vernon's breakfast before he laid his head on her shoulder. "Momma, will Moony take us away from all of this? I don't want to be the Boy-Who-Lived anymore I don't want to be Harry Potter. I want to be someone else. I want to be able to have a normal… no not normal but a life away from Dumbledore and away from Volde-kins and his CorpseMunchers." He smiled when Mary gave a soft laugh.
"Come on Kitten, We need to go drop off the 'reports' and then we will go to Gringotts. We will need a passport, ID, and to file your emancipation forms." Harry nodded and watched her as they made their way through the streets.
Mary stopped in with child services to drop off her reports and to tell them she was taking one Harrison James Potter to his true guardian according to his parents will. When she came back out Harry was asleep in the passenger seat. She moved to the boot of the car and pulled out a blanket to drape over her Kitten, before hopping in and driving to Gringotts. Harry stirred slightly but fell back to sleep quickly while the injuries he got finished healing.
Mary pulled up outside The Leaky Cauldron, smiling over at her Kitten she reached over and shook him awake. "Wakey wakey my kitten," She called softly. Harry started and pulled his wand. "You are safe here Kitten." She said as Harry rubbed his eyes and put his wand away.
"Why are we here Momma?" He asked.
"You need to get some money and a passport as well as try and get the goblins on your side. Remember?" She asked softly running her hands through his hair. "Then we go see Remus and then Bobby!" She continued cheerfully.
Harry nodded blearily pushing his glasses up on his face. "Mkay, Let's go Momma." He said pulling a hoodie on and tossing up the hood. He didn't want to be recognized and he slipped out of the car. Mary smiled and followed Harry's lead changing her hair to a dark red and her eyes to a light green. She grabbed Harry's hand and led him to the big white building at the end of the Alley. Mary smiled at the goblins as they entered and they looked at her with wide eyes. Harry bit his lip and slipped his hood off as they made the way up to the head goblin. The raven hated being seen and stared at but he figured that it might help if the goblins knew who he was. He would let Momma do all the talking. He smiled slightly at the thought and watched the head goblin speak.
"Mary Winchester and Harry Potter, what can Gringotts do for you today."
"If you don't mind Ragnok, we wish to speak in private. That is if you are not busy, otherwise could we set up an appointment for today?" Mary asked softly her green eyes looking up at the goblin. Ragnok nodded and slipped down from his stool.
"Is this about the Potter accounts?" he asked. Marry nodded so the Head Goblin called one of the others over. "Griphook, we have need of you." When the goblin came over Harry smiled and bowed his head to Griphook.
"It is nice to see you again Griphook, I never properly thanked you for taking me to my vault the first time." He said softly his hand still in Mary's and a slight blush on his cheeks. The goblin had a surprised look on his face and then nodded. "Follow me please." He told them as he took them into the back the Head Goblin following them. Harry was amazed by all the intricate designs on the walls. He looked around and around as Mary kept hold of his hand.
Mary wondered why the goblins weren't shocked to see her. She hadn't appeared before them but she must have been on a record somewhere of the Potter's will. She watched Harry's face change to a childlike state as he looked around. She smiled. The boy had been through a lot and Dumbledore was the least of their worries. As they made their way into the back of the bank and into an office Mary let go of Harry's hand and allowed him to sit. She took the seat beside him as they waited to see what the goblins had to say.
"Mister Potter, we have been wondering when you would come in about your vaults. We tried to make contact with you earlier but all our messages were stopped." The Head Goblin said his eyes narrowing. "We have a few things to go over. Starting with Lord Black's will and your parent's wills." The goblin pulled out a piece of folded parchment. "We need a few drops of blood if you please." The male said holding out a dagger to the Potter. Harry took it and gingerly ran it over his finger allowing a few drops to fall on the parchment where the goblin directed. He watched as the blood sunk into the parchment and then it opened, covered in a recognizable scrawl. As soon as the parchment was opened the nick on his finger was healed.
Harry scowled as he looked at Dumbledore's handwriting. "It seems as if the Head Mugwump had this will sealed. I will go unseal it now." The goblin said standing and pulling out some extra papers. "Look this over Mister Potter. They are reports on your land and investments." Harry took the parchment a shocked look on his face. He started to look over the paper his eyes widening as he continued to read.
"Dumbledore took everything from me. I didn't realize it was this bad." Harry murmured looking toward the spending for the last few years. He growled lowly. "I can't believe them!" He shook the parchment toward Mary who looked down and her eyes widened. "They took my money. Ron, Ginny, most of the Weasley's. It seems only the twins didn't take anything. He gave the Dursley's money! To beat me probably." Harry ranted. He was glad the Twins and 'Mione hadn't taken anything from him. He would have to talk to them soon. "Why Momma?" He asked as the door re-opened.
"I don't know Kitten. It seems that we need to deal with them." She replied rubbing soothing circles into Harry's back. "Ragnok will deal with them and get your money back. It's probably one of the things he wished to speak to you about."
The goblin nodded as he sat down. "There is not much to your parents will. They gave one Sirius Black 2,000 galleons and a trunk of pranks, Remus Lupin gained 10,000 galleons and some tomes from your vaults, and you gained everything else. Your guardianship was to be given to Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, or Mary Winchester. Under no circumstances were you to be given to Petunia Dursely." Ragnok told them as he looked at the will and handed it to Harry to look at. Harry shook his head.
"I-I can't deal with this right now Ragnok... What about Sirius' will?"
"He gave Remus Lupin 10,000 galleons, reinstated Andromeda Tonks and her children to the Black Family. Granted Remus Lupin your guardianship and gave everything to his heir, you." the goblin stated handing him another paper.
Harry nodded. "Give Remus what was requested, along with the trunk that was to go to Sirius." He said with a decisive nod. The goblin's quill scratched as he made note of everything. "I want all of the money that was taken from me by Dumbledore back with interest." Harry continued and watched as the goblin gained a wicked smirk. "Then I would like my guardianship to go to Remus as Momma can't take it. I would also like..." He looked to Mary who held up two fingers. "Two passports and papers for Remus and I to live in the States under new names." Ragnok nodded.
"It will be done Mister Potter. It is time to claim your Lordships. We need some more blood to be placed on this parchment here." Ragnok stated pushing forward another folded parchment and Harry nodded reopening his previously healed finger and allowed a few more drops to land on the parchment. "Let's see, you can claim Potter, Black, Evans, Slytherin, Ravenclaw, and Gryfffindor. Along with a few more smaller lines that have died out and willed their title to you." Harry was shocked and looked over the list. Evans was a lordship title?
"How is Evans a Lordship?" He asked. As Ragnok explained Harry grew angry once more. It seemed that Lily was from the squib line. His great (something) grandfather was disowned by the family and then during Grindelwald's reign the family was killed off and the title was passed down the line until someone could claim it. It also seemed that the disowned man married another squib and so and so forth. The magics were finally strong enough in Lily to show up and she was proclaimed muggleborn by Dumbledore of all people. The headmaster knew that Harry was pureblood and was trying to gain control over the Evans holdings. Harry shook his head.
"How long until you can get the passports done? Also is there a way to use money in the muggle world without having to come in and get it exchanged?"
In response to the questions Ragnok pulled out some more parchment, a bag, and a card.
"The bag is connected to your trust vault. Though you can access everything else on your birthday and then you just need to state the vault you wish to access. Once you place your blood on the bag it will only open for you. The card works as a muggle debit credit card." Harry nodded and smiled. "This parchment is a form for you to fill out with the names and such you want on your identification and such so no-one can find you. Fill it out and we will owl the results to you."
"Thank you Ragnok." Harry said pulling the parchment toward him. Once they had filled out the forms Harry was brought a file full of parchment, all his investments and workings. The goblins would continue to keep the estate running until Harry wished to take over. There was one last parchment that needed his blood and would be placed into a second bag that would allow Harry and Ragnok to pass secure papers to each other. They decided to use it for the ordered papers as well.
"See you later Ragnok. May your gold forever overflow." Harry called as he and Mary left, they would head over to Potter Manor and Remus next.
