Harry was expecting to be going to a small house for just the two of them, well make that three of them. But when they pulled up to the driveway, there was no small house, or any house at all. In its place was a big mansion. Harry stared at it in wonder as they drove up to the mansion.
Kris turned to look Harry, who was in the back of the car, and smiled. "Welcome to your new home. Or should I say, one of your many new homes." Kai poked Kris in the head. Kris turned to look at him.
"Keep your eyes on the road, you baka." Kris gave him a big goofy grin then turned back to the road just in time to avoid driving the car onto the front lawn.
"Opps, sorry about that." After that, Kris was able to get the car safely to the front door. As the were all getting out of the car, the front door opened to revile a young blond man.
"You weren't trying to run over the lawn again were you Kris?" The man put his hands on his hips and glared at Kris. Kris just gave him an innocent look.
"Who me? I wouldn't do anything like that." Kai hit the back of Kris's head sending him forward a little bit. Harry just stood back and watched the three, all the time trying not to laugh. Finally, he could not keep it in any longer and just burst out laughing. The three fighting just looked at him, then Kris joined in.
"So whose the new guy." The man asked Kai as they watched the two laugh.
Kai looked at him. "Kris's nephew." Then he walked into the house. Just as he was about to enter, he stopped and turned. "Oh, and by the way, I'll be cooking dinner tonight." Kai turned and walked into the house, leaving the blond man smiling behind him.
By this time Kris and Harry had finally stopped laughing. "So what was so funny?" The man asked. Kris just shrugged and looked at Harry.
"The three of you fighting." The two waited for him to continue but it seemed that that was all they were going to get.
"Right. Any way, I hear that your Kris's nephew. Nice to meet you, my names Edward Conner." Ed held out his hand to Harry.
"Nice to meet you Mr. Conner." Harry grabbed Ed's hand.
"Just call me Ed." He smiled and released Harry's hand. "Come let's get your stuff and then settle you into a room."
Harry looked at the ground. "Um… I don't have any. Once I got home from school, my relatives burned all my stuff." Harry whispered.
Ed looked at Kris and saw the anger in his eyes for just a second. "That's okay, we'll just have you buy you some knew stuff." Harry looked up shocked. Kris just smiled at him.
"R-really? But why?" It was now Ed and Kris's turn to look shocked. The same thought ran threw their minds: Did his relatives not buy him clothes or anything. Kris and Ed looked at each other. Plans on what to do about it also ran through their minds.
"Yes, and be thinking of ideas on how you want to decorate your room." Kris smiled at Harry.
"Plus, if you don't have room for everything you want, there are all was the other houses we own." Ed put his arms around Kris and Harry's shoulders and led them into the mansion. House? But this is a mansion. Harry thought.
Inside of the mansion was huge. "We'll show you around later. Right now lets get you a room." And they both dragged him off.
Some months had passed and it was now September, time to go back to Hogwarts. Two letters from Hogwarts had come. He had been expecting the one for Harry Potter but not the one for a Touya Yuy, that was the name he had be using since started living with his new family. It had been his uncle Ty's suggestion and everyone had agreed. He now had many uncles and aunts but only two of them were blood realities.
Out of the two letters, he only opened the one for Touya. It seemed that no one at Hogwarts knew that he was really Harry Potter.

Touya Yuy would be going to Hogwarts this year, but Harry Potter was not. Touya knew that all his old friends and teachers would be wondering what happened to Harry Potter, but he could not bring himself to care. He now had a family that loved him, a family that would do anything for him. And he loved them back.
Touya left his room and went down the hall to his uncle Kris's room. The door had a pair of black wings to show that it was Kris's room. All his aunt and uncle's rooms had a symbol on the door even his had one. His had a black wolf howling to a crescent moon. It was a way to tell where their rooms were in any of the mansions that they lived in. Touya knocked on the door. "Come in." He heard his uncle say.
He entered the room. Everything was decked out in black. The black cretins were open showing the oasis outside. Kris was working at his desk; his laptop showed the criminal files of the people that he was looking for. All his uncles worked for an international army that stops terrorists before they do anything drastic. "I just got a letter from Hogwarts." Touya held up the letter addresses to him. Kris looked up from his laptop.
"Really?" Touya handed him the letter.
"Yes. I also got one addressed to Harry Potter. It seems that they don't know that I changed my name." Touya was smiling. This was his chance to start over at school.
"That could be true, or Dumbledore is up to something. So when you go, please be careful. I don't want you to get hurt, nor do I want you to be taken from your home." Kris was also smiling. "You know you can contact any one of us if you need any help."
"I know Uncle. I'll be careful." Touya left his uncle's room and went down stairs to the kitchen. He knew that he could find his uncle Kai there. Upon entering the kitchen, he was almost hit by a flying kitchen knife, but luckily he was able to doge in time.
Touya turned and look at the knife imbedded in the wall. "Nice throw, uncle Kai."
"Sorry about that. Thought you were Ty. And don't call me uncle, it makes my sound old." Kai went back to his cooking desert for tonight after giving Touya an apologetic look. "What do you want?"
Touya took one of the apple slices that Kai was chopping up. "Just wanted to tell you that I'll me going back to Hogwarts soon. Though they seem to not know that I'm really Harry Potter."
"You tell Kris?" Kai did not look up from his work.
"Yes. He told me to be careful as always, and I will. I will try to avoid Dumbledore as much as I can." Touya stole another apple slice.
"You better. And stop taking my apple slices, or there will be no desert tonight." Kai smiled at the next thing he said. "Oh, and if you see Ty, punch him for me."
"Why? What did he do?" Touya smiled and stole another apple slice. "Must have been something bad for you to want to punch him. After all, he rarely does something that bothers you."
"Nothing that concerns you." Kai continued to smile. "At lest not something talked about to a kid like you."
"Ah, must have been something that happened in the bedroom." Touya smiled when he saw Kai blushed. He took one last apple slice then left the kitchen.
September 1 had finally arrived. The platform was crowded, but that did not bother Touya. As he made his way toward the train he passed his old friends. They looked worried, but he could not really bring himself to care.
"Where could he be?" Hermione looked like she was better then any one because she was the smartest in the school, but that would change soon. Ron looked a mad. Like Harry being gone was Harry's fault.
Ron scowled "Don't know and don't care. He never even wrote to us all summer."
Hermione looked over at Ron. "But something could be wrong. His relatives could have hurt him or something." Hermione now looked frightened while Ron just looked even madder. "Do you think that he could have found out that we were told to be his friends?"
Touya didn't hear Ron's response. He didn't want to. How could they, after all, they had been friends since first year. Now he was finding out that it was all just a lie. Once he was able, he would write to Kris.
Touya finally got on to the train, only to find that only one compartment was free. He made his way into the compartment and just as he was putting his stuff up, a voice spoke up. "I though I told everybody that I was not to be desired." Touya turned around and there was Draco.
Touya looked sheepishly at Draco. "Sorry. I didn't know. I hope you don't mind if I stay, this is the only compartment open."
Draco studied the boy in front of him for a moment. The boy in front of him looked familiar but he could not place where he saw him before. "You can stay if you tell me who you are."
Touya smiled at him. "If it means that I can stay then alright. The name's Touya Yuy. I told you mine, know you have to tell me yours." Touya sat down across from Draco.
"Draco. You don't look young enough to be a first year. So why are you here?" Draco looked genuinely curious. This was Touya's chance for a real friend, even if that friend was once an enemy.
"Weren't you told by the headmaster?" Draco shock his head. "Doesn't surprise me. Anyway, I'm here for the exchange program."
Draco looked surprised. "What exchange program?"
"The letter from your headmaster said that this is the first year your school is doing this." Touya looked out the train window.
"Oh." Draco could not find any thing to say after that. The compartment was silent, but Draco couldn't stand it. "So where are you from?" Draco was really curious about this boy.
Touya turned to look at the boy in font of him. "You really want to know?" Draco nodded his head. "Just came from Egypt."
Again Draco was surprised. "Your from Egypt? But you don't look it."
Touya grinned. "I didn't say that. All I said was that I just came from Egypt."
"So then where do you live?" Draco was staring to like this boy. He was very Slytherin like.
Touya laughed. "I have a home in every country. So you can say that I live every where."
"Really? Cool." The compartment was silent again. "Umm…I…um…if you get placed in Slytherin…um…will you hang out with me?" Draco hopped that he said yes. All his friends were only his friends because of who he was. This person sitting in front of him was being nice to him not because of who he was. Draco could be himself around the boy.
Touya looked surprised. Here was Draco not acting like he usually does, instead he was stuttering. Touya then smiled. "Sure."
