Chapter 2: Eleven Again...

The pull on my navel was a bit of an unpleasant sensation and when we landed Dumbledore was still standing while I was faceplanting and grumbling about ridiculous methods of travelling. Honestly, you'd think they'd invent something better than portkeying and floo'ing since they're wizards..Hell, I think I'd have preferred a broom or apparation. But that's not the point right now! Right now, Dumbledore is looking down at me, wait..down? Back in my room I was at least to eye level.

"Ah, I see Merlin's spell worked. You are now eleven again and you should be able to see the Leaky Cauldron over there." He pointed a hand at the famed Leaky Cauldron. Looking at it now, the situation has just struck me..I'm in the Potterverse, I'm standing beside Albus Dumbledore, I'm eleven again and that right there is the famous Leaky Cauldron, run down as it may be.

I shook my head, gathering my thoughts and storing them away for later which seemed easier than ever..This must be the Occlumency that Dumbledore mentioned, I sincerely hope how Snape 'taught' Occlumency was the product of a schoolboy grudge for Potter Sr.

Back to the now though, Professor Dumbledore and I walk towards the Leaky Cauldron stepping inside and there's plenty of patrons around, with butterbeer, firewhiskey and other assorted drinks, alcoholic and otherwise. Dumbledore waved slightly to the barman, Tom and we continued to walk towards the back of the pub and we come to the wall that leads to Diagon Alley.

We stood at the wall and Dumbledore smiled at me then raised his wand and tapped the bricks in quick succession and I watched with fascinated awe as the bricks parted and the gateway to Diagon Alley and the busy alley came into view, I was really wishing I had a magical eye like Moody right now because there's so much to see! I looked at Dumbledore who just smiled with that twinkle in his eye I'm beginning to get quickly familiar with.

He spoke softly and pointed out exactly how I was feeling "Makes you wish we had all day, doesn't it? There's so many things to see and do." I nodded and the aged Professor led the way, acknowledging people as he went and there was I, trailing behind him and keeping hidden because people were too busy looking at Dumbledore.

I spoke up after a little while of walking and staring at the shops and items in the windows "Where to first then Professor?" and all I got in reply was a finger pointing at Gringotts. I saw Goblins and people moving around from where I was standing and I looked at Dumbledore and uttered quietly so only he could hear what I had to say. "What's the date? If my memory serves me correctly it'd be July 31st or August 1st when Hagrid takes Harry and gets the Stone out of Gringotts."

The wizened professor looked deep in thought for a moment before speaking "I think we're here on the same day. Merlin did say something about meeting Harry in the alley so I'll assume it's the date Hagrid accompanies Harry." He looked around briefly, I assume he was looking for Hagrid then continued to speak "Hm, let's go sort your vault out and get the money for your school supplies, shall we?"

He smiled softly and after I read the poem I was ushered into the bank, passing the Goblins guarding the door and we waited in line for a bit until we came to the Goblin and I let Dumbledore speak though judging from how the Goblin is looking at the Headmaster, they know each other.

"Ah, Albus Dumbledore of House Dumbledore it's been a while hasn't it old friend?" the Goblin welcomed the old man and smiled although it looked quite feral while Dumbledore smiled in return and replied "Indeed it has Dzun Stonescream of Clan Stonescream. May your gold flow and your enemies bleed."

"Likewise, Albus, likewise. And who is your young companion?" He looked to me and I must admit with a clan name like Stonescream I'm a little intimidated so I replied politely as possible.

"I'm Jax Wolfe of House Wolfe, ser Goblin." Dzun nodded and turned to Dumbledore with a questioning look on his face "There hasn't been a Wolfe for a decade Albus, what are you playing at?"

I blinked and processed that question again, it seems there used to be some Wolfes in the Potterverse but I'd assume the last remnants were wiped out during the first war with Voldemort. I tuned back into the conversation as Dumbledore was replying.

"Dzun, if you wish to know I shall tell you what I must but only in private." The serious look on his face must have clicked with the Goblin and he nodded, closing his desk and stepping down, beckoning Dumbledore and myself to follow. We followed for a bit and came to what I assume was his office and the Goblin placed himself behind his desk, interlacing his fingers and looking sternly at the Headmaster. "Explain Albus, if you will."

Dumbledore explained the story to the Goblin and he told of the prophecy and how he found me, the Goblin was wide-eyed when he finished. "Okay Albus, this is some serious stuff, I hope you know that. The prophecy has me worried because we were told something similar, a long time ago. I'll activate House Wolfe's vault again and add Mr. Wolfe here to the account. I hope you consider yourself lucky I still deal with the handlings of the Wolfe vault..Which would explain why you came to me too. Now then, Mr Wolfe." He turned me and looked me in the eye and said in a very grim tone. "I'll need some blood to verify that you ARE a Wolfe so I'll hand you a bloodline parchment so you can see what your blood is and what abilites you have."

He opened a drawer and pulled out a jeweled dagger and got out the required parchment and handed the dagger to me. I placed my hand over the parchment and slashed my palm open, blood dripping onto the parchment and I watched in awe as it was absorbed and for a few seconds nothing happened until suddenly the parchment was filled with blood coloured ink and words formed. Dzun picked up the parchment and read it to himself for a moment before laughing and handing it over to Dumbledore and myself. It read:

I sat in shock while Dumbledore was blinking rapidly, as if trying to believe what he is seeing. While I processed the parchments contents, the powers and my bloodline I'm apparently related to Sirius, James and Harry. This is...unexpected. I manage to utter out "My name is actually Jax Altair Black-Wolfe and..My father is Sirius Black? Oh fu-" Quite rightly, I passed out at that point because I opened my eyes to see Dumbledore looking at me concerned as I sat up again. "Are you alright, my boy? I'm quite shocked myself. I never knew Sirius was married..or that he'd had a child..This could be the universe bending around you to fit you into the timeline appropriately."

I looked pensive for a moment and nodded in agreement. "In my universe, I never knew my father and my mother died when I was young so it's likely I was removed from this universe in the first place only to come back?"

Dumbledore and the Dzun exchanged a thoughtful look and nodded "That is possible, of course...Something to look into, at any rate. I would seem, we need to get your father out of Azkaban but without proof of the rat, we have no way to do so."

I thought for a few moments while Dzun and Dumbledore were talking about my abilties, I was absorbing the information they were talking with my occlumency skills before I spoke up. "Perhaps we can expose him when I try a spell I learnt from a 'book' and say this takes place in the Gryffindor common room, I stun him and ask someone to get a teacher, preferably McGonagall and Snape because we don't need Snape flying off the handle when you wish to release Siri-dad.." I finished, looking to Dzun then Dumbledore who was nodding in approval when Dumbledore looks back at the parchment. "In all honesty, I never would've figured you'd be the son of Sirius Black and Aela Wolfe. It's a pity your grandparents didn't survive the war."

I replied darkly "I don't wish to meet my Black grandparents..though I'm a bit sad about the Wolfe side of the family not surviving."

I finished in a sad tone whilst Dumbledore nodded then looked at the pocket watch he carries and sighs. "It seems we've been here for a while..Dzun, can you take Mr. Wolfe to his vault while I wait for Hagrid to arrive with young Mr. Potter."

The Goblin nodded and Dumbledore and I briefly parted ways while I went down with the cart, enjoying the ride to my vault and got the required money to spend on school supplies, with a little left over for extra spending on myself.

I met back up with Dumbledore, telling him that Dzun will be sorting out the account and I should recieve a Gringotts letter within a few days. We spent the next few minutes talking about my abilities and Dumbledore reached the conclusion that all members of the Black family are brilliant duelists because of the Combat Seer in their blood though the Summon Spectral Companion isn't something I should attempt alone, tempting as it may be.

Suddenly a booming voice spoke nearby "Professor Dumbledore, sir! I didn't know yeh'd be here, I came to get the-"

Both Dumbledore and I turned around sharply and Dumbledore put a finger to his lips to stop Hagrid blurting it all out while I rolled my eyes, exasperated though I did it discreetly. Don't want to be obvious that I know things, do we?


Author Note: That's Chapter 2! And a right shocker for this one too! Who would've guessed?!

My inspiration for this chapter was 30 Seconds to Mars - Up in the Air.
