Four Years Later
Harry James Potter had his eleventh birthday today, and for once, he was happy. Ever since he abandoned his own family, life had been great. All of his birthdays were celebrated; he could do almost anything he wanted to do, except for leave the church's ground, for all the priests feared him being taken away by his family, and to tell the truth, they all saw him as a baby brother, especially Matthew. He did everything that they asked him to do, whether it was cleaning the chairs, to sorting out the Church Library, of which he had unrestricted access to. He also sang before and after church, making people believe that he was taught by an angel. His training with Sparda was the best. He now had enough strength to lift up cars, although he didn't look like he could. All the priests once got a shock when they went out, and saw him standing on the point of the roof, especially when he fell forward. He was not harmed; he landed on all fours, and not a single scratch on him. By far the most… breathtaking thing was when he ran along the walls of the church, both inside and outside, almost scaring the robes off all the priests. His parents, however, had never given up on getting him. They had once come with police, but when they heard that he was under the Protection of the Church, they had absolutely no authority over him. Also, to keep them out, he laid down wards that protected everyone in the church from anyone and anything that meant to harm them in any way, so not even Apparation worked. They would just be thrown back.
"Happy birthday, Harry" all the priests said.
"Thank you, Peter, Simon, Matthew, Gabriel, and Michael" Harry said, looking at each of the priests as he said their name.
Now this was his family. Sure, he couldn't use magic around them, but he sure could give them heart failures. He actually did once. Lets just say that doing pull ups from the roof isn't exactly what they'd call safe. By the time that they gave up getting him down, he ran back to the ground. Remembering a few of the other times, he smiled as he opened his present. Times was tough on the church, hardly anyone donated anymore, so they could only get him a book about angels, and the different types, but he still loved it. Maybe he could find out what type of angel he was. As he was contemplating this, an owl flew in and landed on the table. Harry, realizing what it was, stared at the owl in fear, but before he could do anything, Matthew took the note. When it came to letters, they had all agreed that they could open each other's letters, so he opened it and began reading aloud.
"Dear Mr. Potter
We are proud to inform you that you have been invited to Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Term starts September 1rst. With you living where you are, a teacher shall come and help those people understand your gift on August 1, 12:00.
Sincerely yours,
Minerva McGonagall
Deputy Headmistress"
Finishing the letter, they all turned to look at Harry, when they saw tears streaming down.
"Now you know my family's gift. Magic" He stated.
He was about to stand up, when Matthew grabbed him, and hugged him.
"Harry, are you scared that we'll abandon you just because of you being a wizard? You have helped us get this church almost to its former glory. People come far and wide just to listen to you, and it has boosted us up. Without you, the church would go down"
"Matthew, all of you. Living here has been a dream come true. No one hurts me, sure, I couldn't practice magic, but still. Oh, and I placed some magic wards around the church. Basically no one that is in the walls of the church can be harmed by another" he stated, earning him appreciative looks.
"Well now, I think that it should be best to wait, with one of the teachers coming"
At that moment, in walked a stern looking lady in dark green robes. She walked towards them
"Excuse me, I'm looking Mr. Potter"
"I'm Harry"
She looked at him. Sure, she was told that his hair was white, but good grief, that was white!
"Well, Mr. Potter, Deputy Headmistress Professor McGonagall, and I'm here to explain some things to these people and then take you to Diagon Alley. Now, magic is a wonderful gift, and I'm sure that you have seen him do unnatural things"
All the priests looked at each other and chuckled, they sure had seen their fair share of things.
"Well then, he shall train for seven years, and…"
"Excuse me, Professor, but you'll find that I trained myself to fifth year, and a bit beyond, in all but muggle studies, which I didn't learn"
The professor stared. Had he really learned all that?
"But… what about a wand?"
"No need. Wingardium Leviosa"
Immediately the book that he aimed a single finger at levitated. Every one of the priests and the professor stared. Wandless Magic was powerful, even Albus struggled with Wandless spells, and he was the greatest known wizard, besides the great Merlin. For Harry to do it so perfectly and without being tired, he just has to be powerful. Once the book was back on the table, Matthew spoke.
"I shall go with our brother. That is, of course, if you do not mind"
"Of course not. Personally, I'd prefer to take someone of whom Harry is familiar with"
Nodding, Harry walked over to the Professor, as did Matthew.
"We shall travel via Portkey. Now, grab hold of my hat" she stated, taking the hat off and holding it out.
The two of them looked at each other, before they each grabbed a side of the hat. Immediately they were pulled by their navels, disappeared and reappeared in some crowded street.
"Welcome to Diagon Alley"
Harry looked around as he saw owls flying, and people in robes walking around, buying what they needed and fancied.
"First, we need to go to Gringotts so we can get some money" she stated, walking towards a white marble building, Harry and Matthew was following her.
Entering, they waited behind a line, a couple of people stating that they shouldn't wait all day. Once they were able to, they walked to a goblin.
"Good day. We'd like to draw out some money from the Hogwarts account"
The goblin looked at her with piercing eyes.
"Sorry, maam. New policy after yesterdays attempted robbery states that all people, no matter who they are, must go for a blood test. This will show what Vaults you have the right to. First, you maam, then the sir, and then the boy"
"But… he's a muggle! He's just here to stay with young Mr. Potter here"
"Fine, maam. Only you and the boy"
Lips in a straight line, she cut her palm and allowed a bit of her blood to go into a bowl. The bowl lit up, and the McGonagall and Hogwarts insignia appeared.
"Okay, now the boy"
Harry walked forward, cut his palm, some of his blood dropping in. Immediately a insignia appeared that shocked the goblin. Another was the Potter, although slightly faded. Next, a insignia with a horse appeared, and lastly a insignia with a snake.
"Mr. Potter! You… you are the descendant of the Demonic Knight Sparda! He was the greatest Demon, for he fought on our side! Also, the Potter one, Evans, and Slytherin! Mr. Potter, you really are rich" the goblin stated, before walking away, indicating them to follow.
Going along passageways, the came across a door labeled Inheritance Rings. Entering, they saw a goblin sitting behind a desk, who was looking extremely bored. As they walked forwards, he looked up.
