Here's the next chapter. Read and Review, Love Hannah x
Neville looked around to see everyone was still looking at him patiently to tell them about the letter. "Harry please read this letter. Gran you cannot read it as it has been charmed that way. Essentially Alice or mum as it were could see the future but could only see the future of certain people not everyone. She saw this happening with me amongst other things" he said as Harry growled to his left tears spilling from his eyes as he read the letter he'd been given.
"I seriously can't believe him. As my uncle would say he's a good for nothing bastard whatever that means. I knew I ended up in the Dursleys but I didn't I suppose ever think of how I was put there. To think that he placed me there not caring what happened to me and knowing they would likely hate me over mum and Petunias relationship is ridiculous. And you know he probably did that knowing or at least hoping I wouldn't ever trust adults but would likely come to him or see him as a grandfatherly figure and trust him immensely should he 'rescue' me from this hellish environment. What a jerk! Like he knew anything about me or what I would turn out like. He has no idea. Well Hogwarts is in for one hell of a surprise when I go there in the future, I can assure you. Griphook you know what we must do in our quest to bring normality to this world however we will need different appearances to do so at will. Please get out the alias kit. I know you have one as I spotted it here on the way in however that could have been strategically placed, I don't know. I want to design my own alias I will use dealing with older people and I will give him a name of my own choosing until I am old enough for it to be known who he really is!" Harry said with authority surprising the adults in the room.
"Mr Potter you are right it was placed there so you'd notice it and bring it up however if you hadn't, we would have anyway. Please tell me how you would like your man to look and indeed what he should be called. You should note that once you are of age magic will ensure that whoever you've previously dealt with assumes that they were always dealing with you and the names on anything you may have signed under your alias will now just read your own name. you may proceed!" he said as he readied the kit to be used on this occasion. Neville would go next but he was interested to see what his brother would select.
"Ok then. My man is to be six ft in height even and he is to have a deep authoritative voice. He is to have muscles but not be too muscular as that would be counter-productive and draw attention where it's really not warranted. He is to have sun kissed skin of maybe an olive tone but not be too dark if you get me. He is to have long black hair which is always held neatly off his face in an elegant pony tail fashion. He is to wear a three-piece suit containing various accessories. The suit is to change colour each time I use him for variety and so people don't always wonder why he is wearing the same things all the time. It is to come with lapel pins, tie clips if he's wearing a tie, cufflinks, a pocket watch, collar clips, a pocket square and braces. He is to look so well put together. His shoes are to be either patent or leather to match his outfits and he is to wear a bow tie or tie depending on which will suit his current outfit better. His wand is to look like it has a jewelled snake head at the end of it. Lastly, he is to have enough money to be able to do whatever it is he wants to even if he must take from the Potter vaults. His name is to be Sir or Lord Lewis Radcliffe. Thank you" he said smiling as it was all taken down and then done for him.
"It is done and as you have asked for. He will now look this way for sure. All you need to do to activate him is put this ring on any finger you select. It is magically altered so it will always appear on your person should you want to use it but forget it at home for example. You need only say aloud I wish to be the lord and it will appear in your hands like so. Please try it on now!" he said as Harry smiled and did so. Once he was done, he looked amazing. He looked like a very sexy commanding man and sure enough held all the attention in the room with his height. It was amazing to see. Neville went next as Harry removed his ring feeling wonderful.
"Ok I'll go now if you don't mind. Harry was so busy selecting the perfect outfit that he forgot to ask that no magical seeing eyes can see through it so I don't want that for my own disguise. I want no one to be able to see through it. My alias is to look the same as Harry clothing wise and it is to alter depending on where I am and so on. Should I wish to buy something for my alias and add it to whatever he's currently wearing it should come with him next time he is used. I want to be able to add things to him should I wish to do so. His wand is to be topped with a fancy double helix styled symbol. He is to have tanned skin with blue eyes, a goatee and dark brown long hair he keeps in a top knot normally. If it is a special occasion, he is to wear it in an elaborate ponytail. He is to be six ft even in height as well. His name shall be either Lord or Sir Daniel Mathews" he said finishing as Sharpaxe looked at him almost accusingly.
"I will have you know Mr Longbottom it is an insult to question our methods like that. We are noble goblins and so automatically no eyes magical or otherwise can tell it will be a disguise. We can't have everyone knowing our secrets. It is so and here is your ring. Please put it on and then take it off we need to be sure he is everything you want as changes may only be made during this time to him" he said wisely as Neville put on the ring growing in height but realising, he still sounded the same which needed to change immediately.
"Obviously you must make his voice deeper and more mature. I had forgotten that one. I mean there's no point looking this cool if you sound like a child. Also, I must know will we be able to come and go from the ministry as and when we like?" he asked as Sharpaxe laughed his head off finding the idea of child talking older man very funny indeed. Neville didn't mind the laughing and even joined in surprising everyone as his voice got deeper mid laugh stopping everyone in their tracks.
"Now that has been fixed, I will answer your question Mr Longbottom. When you go wherever you need to go or even want to go no one will question you. As the prophecy says you cannot harm the current minister of magic and or Albus Dumbledore by putting them in jail however it does specify jail so I would take that to mean you can do other things to them which don't include jail however this is just a guess and may not be correct" he said as Neville smiled and removed his ring.
"Gran when I am like this, I must request that you do not accompany me anywhere however when I am not, I would like you to accompany me places if you should so wish to do so. I love you very much and will always want you to be a part of my life so don't ever doubt that. I would be nothing without you and I'd be a fool to even suggest otherwise" he said as Augusta who had been quietly observing everything cried and thanked him from the bottom of her heart. She could see why he'd been the chosen one in the circumstance given all he'd been through. He was a very good and kind hearted boy who would only ever do wrong to those who done wrong themselves or indeed to him and that was admirable. I mean he could have allowed the power to go to his head causing harm and pain to everyone no matter what but because of the good boy he was she knew he'd never do that. He of all people knew what it was like to be down there and he'd never let someone go down there if he could help it.
As they all looked to Griphook to go into detail on Harry's accounts and he exhaled a deep breath they knew things were certainly about to become interesting.
