I don't own BBC Sherlock, or Harry Potter, I'm just having a little fun while I can.

Hope you had a wonderful Holiday and a Happy New Year. I shall be going back to my normal schedule of updating once a week on a Wednesday.

Chapter Two

Harry was sat in his room, he had been told to stay in there until he was fetched. The people that he was going to be living with had arrived and were talking things over with the Dursley's. He had been waiting patiently all day to meet what may as well amount to his new family. Though he wasn't sure if he was happy with that thought. He looked to Hedwig in her cage and sighed as he got up and went over to her. Uncle Vernon had locked her in that morning, and he had wished that he had just let her go out that night instead of having her inside.

Harry turned to the door as he heard someone come up the stairs. He could tell that it was Uncle Vernon from the heaviness of the tread. The locks were undone and Uncle Vernon stepped into the room. He looked to Harry and said, "Come on, they are waiting for you. You're trunk has already been taken to the car all we need if for you to meet them and take you owl down." he said as he went over to the cage and unlocked it, putting away the lock and key into his pocket.

Harry nodded his head as he took hold of the cage and walked out of the smallest bedroom in number four Privet drive for the last time. He went down the stairs and into the living room, he looked to Uncle Vernon for guidance. He walked in and stopped when he saw two older people sitting on the sofa. The man was tall and had a friendly looking face as he watched Harry come into the room. The woman had a motherly air around her that called to Harry.

"Hello," he said shyly as he looked between the two of them, wondering what else he should say.

"Hello Harry," Violet smiled as she stood up and went over to him, "You have your mothers, and your grandmother's eyes." she smiled as she looked at him closely. "And their heart from what I can see within your eyes." her voice was sad as she spoke, "I fell out with my sister because she married a miner, but I think she made the best choice for herself in the end. She was happy, and that was all I should have cared about." she told him as she brushed raven hair away from startled green eyes. She frowned as she saw the scar on his forehead and wondered what had caused it.

"Will you tell me about her?" he asked, "About my grandmother." he clarified as he looked to her, hoping that she would tell him a little about the family that he had never been told about.

Violet nodded her head as she stood up, "I will. I have a number of pictures of her. And some from when our mother would force us all to meet. Which includes a couple of pictures of you and your parents. I was only able to see you once before your grandmother passed away, after that, I never saw them again." she smiled sadly, as she looked to her husband.

Siger smiled as he stood and looked to Petunia and Vernon, "Right, we shall be going. I do hope you have a nice life in America. If you want to keep in touch with Harry, you have our address so you can write to him, as well as our phone number."

"Thank you," Petunia said with a smile as she looked to her nephew. She knew she should feel something that he was finally leaving them for good. But all she felt was happiness that she wouldn't have to deal with him or the world that had taken her sister from her.

"We are family." Violet said as she smiled to her niece and then left the house with Harry and Siger following her. Harry was a little wary as he looked between the two of them. He looked to Hedwig and whispered, "Would you be able to follow me?"

"Hoot," came the reply as she bobbed her head and looked a little insulted that he doubted her ability to track her little Wizard.

"Of course, I'm sorry, how could I have doubted you." he smiled as he opened the cage door and let her out, much to the surprise of Violet and Siger who looked to him.

"Why did you let her out, she won't be able to find you?" Siger said as he looked to the young boy.

Harry smiled to him and shook his head, "She will. She'll know where I am."

"All right," Violet said with a small shrug, thinking that there was nothing that they could do now.

The three got in the car, with Siger in the drivers seat and they pulled away from Privet Drive. Harry watched as the house and the street were left behind and he sighed as he looked to the two in the front seats and asked them, "What do I call you?" he worried a little about what they will be like now that they were alone.

"I'm Auntie Violet and this is Uncle Siger. Don't you worry though Harry," Violet turned as she looked to him, hoping that she will be able to reassure him that he will be fine with them, even though they didn't really know each other and this was only their first meeting.

"Okay, Aunt Violet." he nodded as he went silent for the rest of the journey, as the city landscape became fields instead. It was almost two hours later that Siger was parking the car in a small driveway of a cottage.

The three got out of the car and Harry looked around, he heard a hoot from nearby and held his arm up as much to Siger and Violet amazement Hedwig came swooping down and landed gracefully on it. Harry smiled to her and stroked her chest, giving her a little praise for finding him.

"Well, lets get you in and some lunch in you. My eldest son will be joining us as well." she smiled as she noted the other car that was pulling into the driveway.

"Mummy," the man said as he stepped out of the car and over to the woman and hugged her, placing a kiss on her cheek as he nodded towards his father, "Father."

"Mycroft," Siger said his tone happy at seeing his son. "Come on in, lets get something to eat. Violet has already made something, ready for when we got back," he said as he led the way into the cottage. Leaving Harry's truck.

Harry followed them, a little wary of the man that had arrived. He looked official, and not as open as Violet and Siger were. Harry let Hedwig go and told her that he would see if he could find a place where she could sleep. He then followed them inside and towards a warm kitchen where Violet was already making them something to eat. He sat down at the table and watched as Siger and Mycroft looked to him, both of them in a contemplative mood.

Violet soon came over and placed a sandwich in front of them and smiled as they all took some, except for Harry. He looked a little unsure of what he should do. "Eat up Harry, take what you want, there is always more." she smiled to him as she poured him some apple juice and set it down by his plate as she watched him take two halves.

"Thank you Aunt Violet." he said politely as he smiled up to her and took a bite, "it's delicious," he complemented her as he smiled shyly.

She smiled back and sat down, "thank you," she said softly as she looked to her eldest son, wondering what he had come up with.

"Sherlock and John," Mycroft said as he looked to his mother, who looked a little startled at the names.

"Are you sure Mycroft, I thought you would be best suited," Siger said softly as he looked between them and then over to Harry.

"I am too busy and there is always a chance that he could become targeted because he is nearby. I do not wish for that to happen. Which, you have to admit that it could" he said as he looked to the child, "also, there is something else you need to consider, and I believe the two of them would be more suited to it that I," he added as he had looked up the child his parents were taking in.

"Harry," Violet said as she looked to the child, who had stopped eating and was looking between the three adults, curious and worried about what was going on.

"Yes Aunt Violet?" he asked, as he looked a little nervous now.

"My mother and father are getting on in years, they haven't had to have a child around in almost twenty years. My brother and I are both fully grown and have our own lives as well. My parents would rather not have to do so again, and to enjoy their retirement. I have been able to convince my younger brother and his partner to take you in and become your guardians. They will be better able to look after you. I shall also be explaining your gifted school to them," he said as he spared a small glance to his parents, they got the reference, though it had been a while since they had heard it.

"He is?" Siger asked a little shocked as he looked from Harry to his son. Now understand why he had an owl and how she would be able to track Harry.

Mycroft nodded his head, "Yes. I think being in London will be better than out here in the countryside," he smiled as he looked to Harry.

"I will be taking you there after lunch. I know that you are being passed around at the moment, but don't worry Sherlock and John will be the last stop for you. We were going to let you stay here for the night, but I thought it would be best to get you to where you are living straight away," Mycroft said as he looked at his parents and asked them, "Why did you bring him here, you should have gone with my suggestion of going straight to Baker Street."

"I thought it would be best to actually take him someplace which was a little more calming than Baker Street. Though have you got the two of them to set something up for Harry? Are they ready for him, or should we have him hear the for the night?" Violet asked her son.

Mycroft nodded, "Of course they are ready for him, John made sure of that. So Harry will be able to settle at Baker Street tonight. We'll finish lunch and then head there. I shall take him myself, so the two of you can remain here," he told them.

His parents nodded as they settled down to lunch, though Harry was forcing himself to eat, as he felt adrift, and not knowing what was going to happen to him next.

Thank you all for the brilliant reviews, so happy that you are enjoying this one. Hope you have enjoyed this chapter as well.
