AN: Hey everyone! I got some really nice reviews from the last chapter so I'm hoping this will bring even more. Serena24 brought up a point that I hadn't realized with the whole 3 weeks to learn everything so…I'll fix that in this chapter! Athenakitty: yup Harry's a kickbutt hottie after all the training but noone will know just how much he's changed just yet! R/R everyone!

Previously:

"R'asye realins sae' Usal desreka e' graleska et' Dursley's sae'."

He could see the shadows move through the house flashing silver meaning it was safe. He opened the door and entered.

------ ---------- ---------------- --------------------------

Harry paused at in the doorway quickly casting a wandless charm to hide his true appearance. He was still him, except the 3 years of training in the shadow realm were lessened, after all, to everyone outside the realm, he'd only been gone for 3 weeks. He was now dressed in a regular pair of black cargo pants which he had conveniently charmed to hold his potions and other necessities, a regular gray t-shirt, his bright green eyes flashing with depth behind his usual round glasses. One thing he left alone was his hair, he found it much easier to deal with longer and his relatives knew that his hair had a 'freakishness' of it's own, shown from the countless times his aunt Petunia had given him haircuts for school. No matter what she did, even at one point shaving it completely down to only 1 inch of hair, it always grew back the next day. He silently walked into the house knowing his relatives would be in the kitchen now.

------------ ----------What happened while he was away??

The wizarding world was in its usual state of idiocy feeding the flames of more idiocy. Of course they didn't think so. For weeks since the end of the last school term wizarding newspapers and magazines had been printing story after story, telling the tales of the-boy-who-lived and his exploits thus far attending Hogwarts school. The told the glorified versions of the events Harry himself had lived through, guessing and making up 'facts' from 'sources' where they saw fit. The malleable public took it all in, listening to wizard wireless radio shows, reading the articles in papers. All of it said. The boy-who-lived, was a danger. And the newest developments only made more convinced.

Harry Potter had disappeared!

The Order members had kept watch over Harry's house as usual and on the third day of no 'Harry sightings' they suspected something was up. But the faithful third day letter came.

To whom it concerns:

I am doing fine, nothing to worry for. The Dursley's are as well as expected and I am occupying my time. Please tell Remus to be careful, Hagrid as well.

Dear Ron and Hermione,

Hey you two! How are you doing? I decided to slip in a note with the order letter as usual. I've sent a few notes before but haven't heard from you yet. I hope all is well?

Harry

But two days later a letter was delivered to Albus Dumbledore.

Mr. Albus Dumbledore,

Previous notices of the proceedings of the last week have been withheld until such time that all matters were in order. Our client has instructed us to notify you of certain changes concerning him and his estate. Please read the enclosed documents and return them signed by owl no later than the end of tomorrow morning at 10am. Understand that our client has left specific instructions on how affairs were to be handled, any questions you may have may be directed to the leading attorney Ms. Evangeline Harmen.

Sincerely,

Harmen and Associates, Inc.

Serving wizarding, and muggle public since 275 B.C.

Dumbledore frowned. Harmen and Associates were well known to the public, a law firm among other things that handled many high-end accounts. One of which had been the Potter family account, until he had decided to have the funds supervised by a firm of his own choosing. He pulled out the other documents and flipped through them.

Notice of Restriction….your access to any monetary accounts in the Potter or family have been withdrawn, all further activity will be supervised by the heir of the fortunes, Mr. Harry Potter. Instruction of Property transfer…. it has been brought to our attention that the heir of the Potter and Black estates has come into the rightful wizarding age to control such aspects of inheritance, therefore all rights or access previously held by Mr. Albus Dumbledore have been transferred to Mr. Harry Potter, heir of the Potter and Black estates.

On and on the papers went, about 20 different forms. All about Harry.

At the end of the stack a sealed envelope caught his eye with Mr. Dumbledore written in clear writing on the front and the seal of the Harmen Associates on back.

Mr. Dumbledore,

Our client has brought to our attention that previous handling of his accounts was done without his consent. Upon is return to the wizarding world at the age of 11, Mr. Potter was to retain control of all inherited assets. Due to certain situations our offices are now aware of, that was not the case, nevertheless, please note that in the eyes of wizarding law our client is an adult and therefore now in full control of his accountings. Mr. Potter has asked us to make clear to you that his care whether it be in matters of housing, financial matters, or other concerns are his own.

Our client has decided not to put forth any legal action with respect to certain discrepancies on your part. He does however ask that you no longer utilize his residence at 12 Grimwauld Place by no later than September 1st, which should give you more than enough time to find other accommodations. All personal property on the enclosed list that is in your possession is to be returned to him via our offices.

--Evangeline Harmen,
Executive at Harmen Associates Inc. and legal supervisor to Mr. Harry Potter.

What did that boy think he was doing? He was not ready to control these types of things, it was for the best that he'd kept his inheritance from him thus far. How did he find out anyway?! He pulled out a piece of parchment and wrote:

Mr. Samson,

It was my understanding that you were handling the accounts of Harry Potter, per my request. I have received notice that states otherwise, why did you not notify me before of such changes? I will speak with you shortly about these developments I am sure.

Sincerely,

Albus Dumbledore,
Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Supreme Mugwup of the Confederation of Wizards

He waved his wand in a quick motion and summoned a post owl and sent his message. Taking some floo powder he turned to his fireplace.

"Arabella Figg!"

A moment later a blond woman of almost 30 with brown eyes and slight smile peered her head from the green flames.

"Albus! is there something you needed?"

"Arabella dear, I wanted to know if you have noticed anything unusual at the Dursley's residence?"

"Nothing that I have seen. Do you need me to re-check anything?"

"That would be appreciated, I want to know if anything slightly out of ordinary is happening, what with all the reports in papers now" he explained blue eyes twinkling.

"I see, yes I have read the articles. I'll get back to you soon Albus" she said before disappearing again. Dumbledore sat back at his desk looking at the papers again.

--------------- ------------------- -----------------------------

Arabella Figg had been a longtime friend of Lily and James Potter; she had been in their year at Hogwarts and was fast friends with the witty redhead and the practical joking group of boys. Halloween of 1981 had been a night she had lost the only family she'd had outside of Remus Lupin, the only one left. Sirius had killed Peter, and led Lily and James to their deaths. When she'd heard she was one of the first Auror's on the scene and the days following had been hectic. Albus had informed her of Harry's survival and his placement with his relatives and the next day she had assumed her position as guardian over Harry as well she could, posing as an elderly neighbor with a strange fondness for cats. Arabella pulled back a book on her bookcase and the wall disappeared. She got to work reviewing the readings from the last few hours and found nothing unusual…she checked further back and there it was! It was small yes, but, noticeable. A surge in magic on a few separate occasions during a two-day period, and an accounting of owls going and coming from the house even though she knew Dumbledore had instructed Harry not to send owls.

--Minutes later--

"Albus, there may be a problem…"

Albus had notified the Order member currently on duty to check the house for Harry and anything out of the ordinary.

'MadEye' Moody and Nymphadora Tonks knocked at the Dursley's door not minutes later.

"What are you freaks doing coming here, in broad daylight!" Vernon had raged. His mustache twitched as his face started to turn an unnatural red.

"We've come to check on Harry sir, we'll only be a moment." Tonks said as Moody pushed past Vernon.

They headed up the stairs to the room they knew was Harry's. It was empty.

"Where is Harry?" Tonks asked Petunia who was hovering in the hallway.

"W-we don't know….we woke up and he'd already gone!"

"Good riddance I say!!" Vernon added.

Tonks and Moody exchanged a glance, casting a few quick charms to detect any dark magic, or portkeys. Nothing.

By that afternoon the whole Order was on search duty for Harry Potter. The next few weeks they continued the search, keeping it under wraps surprisingly. Dumbledore acquiesced the Dursley's knew nothing but placed some extra precautions on the home before leaving them one afternoon. Two and a half weeks later the story hit wizarding papers. It had been bad enough with the speculations running wild about Harry being a danger to students at Hogwarts but now papers were publishing scandalous articles. The seedier even went as far as to say he was off secretly working for Voldemort. Others were readily spinning juicy tales of his school life. Where they got these lies, who knew, but what mattered was it sold papers and magazines. Once again the wizarding world had readily turned against it's would be savior.
