Author's note

Hey readers, just wanted to thank you all for the reviews and to let you guys know that i am posting these as soon as I write them. Also I want to say that yes there were a few gramarical errors in the last few chapters, but you really shouldn't comment about it.

So here's my ninth chapter, I'm about to get started on my tenth so hopefully it will be up by late tonight or early tomorrow. Remember Reviews are welcome, just don't trash my spelling and make me feel like an idiot because when people have done that in the past i have abandoned the story, ENJOY :) -RockyRed13

Chapter Nine

Castiel shook his head and said, "No way".

Harry gave him a curious look and said, "Aren't you an angel?"

"Yes" Castiel told him, "I do not trust specific things and that is one of them". He looked at a few people who had just gotten out of the carts at Gringotts and they looked positively green and there was no way that he was about to get in it. "That thing is very likely a death trap".

"I find it weird" Harry told him, "Apparently I can do what angels do, but you can't do what humans do. You're the one who insisted that you come with me so you're getting the full Gringotts experience". Harry grabbed Castiel by the arm and pulled him along with him and Griphook into a cart. It was safe to say that Castiel really wasn't looking forward to it.

As the cart sped down the track Castiel started thinking about why he wasn't about to leave Harry alone. The last thing he needed was for Zachariah to show up in Diagon Alley and try to get a hold of Harry well he was there. After Harry had told him that he had actually used the Angel Banishing Sigil, he knew that Zachariah was definitely more interested because that meant that Harry had a strong angel half. Only an angel or a vessel could properly use that symbol and he came to discover that was why Harry was so confused about it. So now, there he was riding in a cart just to make sure Zachariah didn't attack well Harry was in the bank. He didn't know if an angel would get sick, but something told him that after this cart ride he was going to find out.

He lost track of how many times the cart turned in different directions and practically went flying forward when it stopped. Luckily for him, Harry had put his arm out in front of him to prevent it from happening. He looked over and saw that Harry seemed to be studying him again and finally said, "Alright, get your money so we don't have to prolong the wait for the cart ride to hell. I would rather just get it over with".

Harry finally nodded and said, "Maybe you should just stay sitting. You look greener than Hagrid did and that's not a good sign". He got out of the cart and a few minutes later he got back in and said, "Maybe you should close your eyes. Motion sickness doesn't become so bad if you do that".

For a minute Castiel doubted that would work but finally he decided to humor his son and he closed his eyes. He ended up becoming so concentrated on that he didn't even feel the cart move again. When it came to a stop Harry shook his shoulder and he opened his eyes. He was actually shocked. As he got out of the cart he looked over at Harry and asked, "How did you know that would work?"

"I didn't" Harry told him. "It was just a theory. So I'm guessing that you're feeling better. I mean, now that you're actually the right color".

Castiel looked down at Harry as they were leaving the bank. "How many times am I going to be the test rat for your experiments?" he finally asked.

"You're the one that's going along with them" Harry told him. He looked around and finally said, "I have to get new robes, you can go and do, whatever it is you do".

Before Castiel could say anything Harry ran into Madam Malkin's Robes for all occasions. Castiel walked down the alleyway cautiously looking around. When he ran into a familiar face, she actually seemed in a lot better of a mood than the one she was in the last time that she saw him even though he had just knocked boxes out of her arms. "I'm sorry Headmistress" Castiel told her, "You would think I would understand I have to pay attention to where I go".

"It's no trouble at all" McGonagall told him. They stood up and he helped her restack the boxes so they were easier to carry. She smiled at him and said, "Mr. Castiel, due to the fact you are Harry's new guardian, I would like to know why people keep on saying Harry looks different? Would you be willing to explaining that to me?"

"Actually I would be more than glad to explain that to you" Castiel told her. "You see I might not be magical but I do hold power. I was able to fix Harry's eyesight so he no longer needs glasses".

"That's not the change that everybody has been going on about" McGonagall told him. "I have noticed a lot of news saying that his famous lightning bolt scar is missing".

"The news is correct" Castiel told her. "I was able to identify a very evil energy behind his scar and it turns out that his scar was a horcrux of lord Voldemort. Since I didn't want a piece of that madman trapped in my child, I got a purifier to remove it".

"I always knew that there was a reason behind Dumbledore saying there was more to that scar than met the eye" McGonagall told him. "Did you just refer to Mr. Potter as your child? Are you planning on adopting him?"

"That's actually not necessary" Castiel told her. "You see, I am Harry's biological father. He was supposed to be raised by Lily and James, but when they died he was passed onto relatives without my consent. Albus Dumbledore put more than blood wards up around the house. He knew I would come looking for Harry and ruin his plan so he put up more wards so he could keep me out. I wouldn't be allowed in until my son asked for me by name, and since nobody was around to tell him, I couldn't go near him".

"I swear that man was more Slytherin that Gryffindor" McGonagall told him. "Either way, I hope to see Harry for the beginning of term. I'm sure you'll be happy to hear that the transfiguration professor that I hired is actually Sirius Black. He was very gifted in that subject, and I actually hear that is an Anamagus as well. The students should be thrilled to have him in a class".

"Harry told me that the last two years the school has had complete idiots for Defense against the dark arts" Castiel told her. "Did you find a professor for that as well?"

"Believe it or not I did" McGonagall told him. "As a matter of fact it is actually another friend of James Potter's whose name is Remus Lupin".

Castiel recognized the name immediately and said, "I know that you probably had a lot of expectations that he met. The one thing that might draw a concern is his little problem".

"Remus is very in control of his Werewolf form" McGonagall told him. "He will be taking the wolfsbane potion for every full moon; the school has agreed to supply it for him. He agrees that staying in the school in wolf form, is definitely not a good idea so he will be going to the shrieking shack as he did when he was a student here. All of the parents have been informed and Mr. Lupin is a respectable member of wizard's society, and they trust that he won't do anything to put their children in danger. You don't have a problem with me hiring him as a teacher, do you?"

"Of course not" Castiel told her. "I just want to ensure that my son will be safe when he goes to Hogwarts this year, since the past two years have been very crazy for him".

"Well I will do everything in my power to make sure that all of the students are safe" McGonagall told him. "Now would you mind telling me how you're Harry's real father? I was very sure that Lily was completely loyal to James".

"Actually James couldn't have children" Castiel told her. "I hope that what I am going to tell you can remain on the need to know basis, and I'm only going to tell you because you'll be running his school once term starts and you might notice some strange things about certain abilities that he has, can I ensure this information will remain between us?" When he saw her nod he said, "I am an angel and James Potter was actually a vessel of mine. He was incapable of getting his wife pregnant so he and I made a deal. I needed a vessel for a mission and he needed a child. We made a deal and once I completed the mission I impregnated his wife and left my vessel knowing that the child would be in good hands".

McGonagall at last nodded and said, "So that's what they meant when they said Harry was a gift from an angel. So I'm guessing you didn't know that they would end up dead".

"I had no way of knowing what the future would hold for my child" Castiel told him. "Harry is a very rare occurrence. Very few could actually have access to his future and I have to be like a normal parent and just wait and see how he turns out".

McGonagall finally smiled at him and pointed her head over towards one of the stores and said, "Thank you very much for your help, but Harry just came out of Madam Malkin's and I will give you a fair warning, you might want to keep an eye on him".

"I will definitely keep that in mind" Castiel told her. "It was nice talking to you". She nodded and Castiel made his way through the crowds on the street and over to Harry who was now carrying a package under his arm. "Uniform all set now?" he asked.

Harry looked up at Castiel and nodded. "Have to get my textbooks and some potions ingredients" Harry told him. "How do you think the Winchesters would react if I got them a book that has moving pictures in it? Or maybe the monster book of monsters. I hear the book actually attacks if you don't know how to calm it".

He saw Castiel smile and as they went into the book store. "Those two fight monsters all the time so a book like that could be of some use" Castiel finally told him. "The only issue is that they might actually kill the book".

"They seem to be into symbols and stuff like that" Harry said, "Maybe I could get them a book on Runes. Of course I have to get a textbook for my Ancient Runes class too".

"I'm surprised that you aren't taking Divination" Castiel told him. "I wouldn't doubt that you have some psychic abilities".

"I wouldn't either" Harry told him. "I talked to a few of the older kids at school last year and they said that the teacher is a real piece of work. Apparently every year she chooses a student who's going to die. All of my friends agree when they say that she would have a field day with me in her class".

"It probably doesn't help much that she created the original prophecy about you too" Castiel told him. "She predicted something like that and then she thinks she can get away with anything because it actually came true".

Harry looked away from the bookshelf he was picking up some textbooks from and gave Castiel a curious look. "What are you talking about?" he asked. When Castiel didn't answer Harry said, "Are you telling me that some Crackpot old lady said a Prophecy, and that's why I have to defeat Voldemort?"

Harry noticed that Castiel looked like he wanted to smack himself. "Yes" Castiel finally told him. "It was said before you were born and it was believed because of her last name. To top it all off somebody heard it and went off and told Voldemort".

"So this lady single handedly ruined my life" Harry finally said going back to looking through the books. "To stop and think I've been in the same location as her for two years and I never even realized that. Now I have another reason to be glad that I'm not taking her class". He pulled down a few books and finally said, "I don't see the monster book of monsters anywhere, do you?"

Castiel tapped on Harry's shoulder and pointed at a cage that had a bunch of books in it that looked like they were fighting with each other. "There's a reason that it's called that" Castiel reminded him as the shop owner walked over.

Harry could tell by the terrified look on the shopkeeper's face that the man knew what he was about to ask for. The man walked toward the cage and put on a pair of very thick gloves and grabbed a stick from beside the table and opened the cage door. He poked the stick into the cage and suddenly one of the books bit the stick and the shop keeper pulled the book out and tied it closed with a rope. He then walked over and handed it to Castiel and said, "I don't like giving this particular book to children. If this is the textbook for the class I would hate to see the creatures that they show them up close".

When the shopkeeper walked away Harry looked at the book which actually growled when Castiel shifted it. He stepped back and Castiel smiled at him and said, "Some creatures are just very misunderstood". He stroked the spine of the book and the book immediately calmed down. He gave a small smile to Harry and said, "You have to remember that things aren't always what they seem".

Harry nodded and went over to a different bookshelf to get a few extra reading books before he went and paid for all of the books and they were packaged. He was actually shocked that Castiel picked up the box that they were all in with two fingers. Heading toward the apocithary Harry went into the stationary shop and got his quills ink and parchment. He saw a model called the Firebolt on display in the window of Quality Quidditch Supplies. At last he got to the apocithary and bought a bunch of ingredients that usually wouldn't be provided in the student store. Once he had everything Castiel put a hand on his shoulder and they were back at the safe house.

Castiel left Harry alone to pack his trunk and Harry quickly sorted through it. He took out his old Robes and cloak. Then took out all of Lockhart's books since he was pretty sure that they wouldn't have been referred to again well he was at school. He soon created another pile of the textbooks from his first year. He went through the trunk taking out his hand me downs, some broken quills and empty ink bottles. Soon enough he had a pile of stuff that would be thrown away and a pile of stuff he would keep. He carefully put all of his books in at the bottom of the trunk them put the packages that held his stationary and potions and ingredients on top of that, then he folded his new uniform and put it in. He had just finished putting his other clothing in the trunk when he looked up and saw Castiel standing in the doorway with a phone to his ear. He couldn't help but be confused on the reasons so he asked, "What are you doing?"

"I have to go an talk to Sam and Dean" Castiel told him. "This is the only way to get a hold of them so I can find out where they are".

"You have something planned, don't you?" Harry asked, even though he already knew the answer.

"Yes" Castiel told him. All of a sudden his eyes widened and he said, "Dean, where are you?" He listened for a minute and finally nodded and said, "I will be right there". He hung up the phone and looked over at Harry, "Can I trust you won't get in trouble?"

"You know better than anybody that I have no control over that" Harry told him.

Castiel gave Harry a small smile and said, "Well try not to get killed by a giant snake then". With those words he vanished and Harry couldn't help but think what had caused him to say that. At last Harry shook his head knowing that there was no way that there was a Basilisk hanging out in the woods around the house.

Castiel got to the hospital Sam and Dean were at and found them in no time. Once he told Bobby that he couldn't heal him at the time being, he turned to Sam and Dean who were now talking about stopping their new enemy, which turned out to be two very powerful angels. When they said that they would kill Michael and Lucifer he said, "You have to find something a lot more powerful than two humans to kill them with".

"What do you purpose?" Dean asked him.

Castiel could hear the sarcasm in Dean's voice but he decided to ignore it. "The only thing in existence that could take on the Devil and Michael is the one who created them" he told Dean. "We have to find God".

"God is dead" Dean told him. "Zachariah said that he isn't upstairs anymore".

"Just because he isn't in heaven doesn't mean that he's dead" Castiel told him. "He is the one who saved me from the archangel and the one who put you on the plane. That doesn't sound like something that someone dead would be able to do".

"Alright" Sam finally said, "How do we find God?"

"That's actually why I'm here" Castiel told them. "The way to find him is by having an amulet that burns in his presence".

When Bobby said he didn't have anything like that all eyes went to Castiel who was looking at Dean. Dean seemed to get the picture and looked down at his necklace. "No way" he finally said.

"May I borrow it?" Castiel asked him.

Dean looked down at the necklace and then back at Castiel like the angel had just asked him to sell his soul to the devil. He started shaking his head and said, "No way, find a different one".

"You want a way to stop Michael and Lucifer?" Castiel demanded.

"Yeah but find another way" Dean told him.

All of a sudden there was a gust of wind in the room and Castiel turned around and saw Harry standing in the doorway. He watched as Sam took a few steps back and Castiel gave a curious look and asked, "What are you doing here?"

~RockyRed13~

Shorty after Castiel left Harry got the familiar headache that he had gotten when he was at the Salvage yard. He tried getting rid of it but soon images of an amulet came into his head. He couldn't help but wonder why and soon the screaming in his head turned to words and he realized what the amulet was, and that he had to help Castiel get it. The issue was that he could see why Dean didn't want to get rid of it. That was when he was told that Castiel's wings were cut, and therefore he had to find god to get them back. Harry at last nodded and said, "Alright, what do I do?"

Before he knew it he felt that familiar tug of teleportation and soon found himself standing in the doorway of Bobby's hospital room. It took Castiel asking the question for him to finally say, "I'm here to help you".

"How exactly do you expect to get me to agree with it?" Dean asked him. "I mean Castiel's wings are clipped, I'm pretty sure you can't do anything in return for me giving this to you".

Harry suddenly heard the voices in his head again and put his hands up to him temples. When they finally quieted he saw Castiel watching him, at last Castiel said, "They're talking to him".

"Angels?" asked Dean. When Castiel nodded Dean looked over at Harry and said, "How is it that they're talking to him and not you?"

"When I rebelled they clipped my wings" Castiel told him. He looked over at Harry and said, "Just because he's my son, that doesn't mean that they cut off communication with him as well. Upstairs we aren't judged by the mistakes of our parents. The angels can't do anything to Harry because of the contract he was created under, only God can bind his powers and nobody thinks that he'll do that to a being capable of becoming his greatest soldier".

"I thought Michael was his greatest warrior" Dean said.

"Michael is useless without his sword" Harry told him. "I don't require a vessel and therefore I am capable of walking the earth well he isn't". He looked over at Castiel and said, "You may have had your wings clipped, but they want you to know that they still trust that you will complete the mission that you came to earth for. They still have faith in you, even if Zachariah has talked Michael into cutting you off".

"So what is it that they want?" asked Dean. "I promised Sam the day that I got this that I would never take it off. What makes the angels think that I could do that just so they could find their dead beat".

"They were wondering if you would be willing to trade the use of it for something more important" Harry told him. "They were hoping you might see it as a gesture of good faith, and they promise that you will get your amulet back". When Dean looked like he was finally paying attention Harry walked over to Bobby who was sitting in a wheel chair and said, "They have been communicating with me, teaching me how to use my angel abilities. In return for the use of your amulet, I can heal him".

"Zachariah said that he would never walk again" Dean told him, "Isn't he in charge?"

"He might be in charge of angels, but he would have to brainwash them very well in order for them to turn against me" Harry told him. "Zachariah may have said that but I was pretty much made never to obey him".

Dean looked over at Castiel and then back at Harry and said, "Alright. You have to heal him before I hand over the amulet though".

Harry nodded and said, "As you wish". He put his hand on Bobby's head and suddenly Bobby looked like he was in pain for a split second and he hunched over. He straightened out and looked at his legs as if he was in shock. He moved both of them and finally stood up. Harry looked over at Dean who looked shocked and said, "Now it's time for your half of the bargain".

Dean walked over and looked at Bobby. "Does anything feel wrong?" he asked him.

Bobby shoot his head and said, "I feel as good as new". He looked over at Harry and said, "How did you do that?"

"Well Castiel is my father" Harry told them. "The last time that a Nephil was made was in the BC era, and the powers became too much and it was voted that they would be cautious on when they made another one. Back then when an angel's child was born, they would be worshiped from their birth by humans, and in the end that made them arrogant so they ignored orders the angels gave them. Soon their powers became overwhelming and were the cause of their destruction. I was not raised in that manner, and I have no reason to become something such as that. Therefore my powers are as powerful as an angels and I am capable of healing even somebody that Zachariah put a mark on". He looked over at Dean and said, "I healed the stab wound and therefore healed his legs. He's fine, you have my word".

Dean at last nodded and said, "As long as you don't find any loopholes in this that make it so he'll fall over if you don't find God".

"As I said, healing him was a gesture of good faith" Harry told him. "I will not undo that and none of the angels that have been speaking to me will either. If Zachariah tries to he will find that what I just did is permanent and he isn't nearly as powerful to undo it".

Dean took off the necklace and held it out toward Harry. "I'm not going to ask how you can overpower Zachariah, because something tells me that I don't want to know" he told him.

Harry carefully took the amulet and said, "That's probably for the best". He studied the pendant for a minute before turning and facing Castiel again. He walked over and put the amulet in his hand and said, "They said this is your mission not mine. You have to ensure that Dean will get it back".

He saw Castiel give him a questioning look, as if he was trying to see something, but at last Castiel nodded. "Tell them that I will try not to let them down" he told Harry.

"I don't need to" Harry told him. "Just because you can't hear them doesn't mean that they can't hear you. Quite a few of them have chosen to stand against Zachariah's chain of terror, and they said that if you need help not to be afraid to ask. It's somewhat like how they are with me. They won't show up unless you really need them to, the only difference is that you won't ever know for sure that they are on their way". He looked directly at Castiel and said, "So don't allow your guard to fall and don't over use the powers that you have because if you do your batteries will drain and you'll pretty much become human".

Castiel nodded and said, "What about you?"

"I'll be going back to school" Harry told him. "They have suggested that I am too young to get involved in this war and odd as it sounds I do agree with them. Of course they aren't too thrilled about the fact that I'm already in one war. I would hate to be Voldemort right now, let's just put it that way".

Castiel put the amulet in his pocket and said, "I will start my search right now". He looked directly at Harry and said, "I don't care if you are more powerful than me, I want you back at the safe house before dark". When Harry nodded Castiel vanished.

"How did you find us?" Sam suddenly asked. "Castiel did something to make sure that angels wouldn't".

Harry looked over at Sam questioningly and said, "Let me correct you on that. I am not considered an angel. You can ask any of them. Therefore the Enochian Sigil's that are carved into your ribs have no effect on my ability to track you".

"Doesn't somebody have to ask for your presence though?" Sam asked.

"They don't have to pray for me if that's what you're asking" Harry told him, allowing some of his aggravation to sink out through his voice. "I refuse to be on call to any single human. I'm only going to go where I am needed, and I was needed here because Castiel needs to at least try to find God so maybe we'll have somebody to help clean up the mess that you made".

Dean at last walked over and separated the two of them at an arm's length. He looked at Sam who had an angry look on his face. "You really need to stop this" he finally told him. "He just showed up and healed Bobby, and all your worried about is that he can find us".

"What if they're tracking him to get to us?" Sam asked him.

"I don't know if Castiel told you but angels can't track me" Harry told him. "Castiel is my father and he can't even do that. Do you know why?" When Sam shook his head Harry said, "It's a protective shield that my mother put on me when I was targeted by a mad man. Nobody can see where I am unless I allow them to. There is one angel that I have seen so far that can actually track me and he won't be coming after you any time soon".

"How do we know you're not lying and an angel isn't using you as a vessel?" Sam asked him.

Harry saw that Dean wanted to say something but decided not to let him. "They can't use me as a vessel" he told Sam. "You know why, because if an angel tried to jump into me they would very likely be vaporized". When he saw the anger in Sam's eyes he said, "You know Sam, I thought you would know better than to pour gasoline on a fire. I mean you look like you got hit by a truck recently, are you forgetting who did that?" When Sam's eyes widened Harry nodded and said, "Good to know" and without another word said he teleported out of the hospital room.
