Molly scowled for a second before speaking. 'Ginny this is not the place to be having this conversation anyone could be listening. 'She put up a privacy ward around them but it didn't stop Alex from hearing what they were saying . '… but I don't want him anywhere near any of you. He is a magnet for danger. I told Ron he has to come home as soon as possible. He better not listen to that Granger girl, he follows her around like a puppy dog. We need to keep our heads down and if by some miracle things are resolved, Harry will be welcome among us again. I just can't risk having him around.'

Alex turned a different direction than the one the two Wealsy women took. He didn't need to hear anymore. He knew now they were not his friends and they did not care about him as much as they claimed. He couldn't believe he had considered Ginny as a future wife. He felt relief at not having to deal with that anymore. He wondered how they were going to react when time caught up with itself and Harry Potter disappeared, with a decision to avoid his old friends he made his way to pick the supplies he would need for his apprenticeship.

September 1st dawned and Alex was up bright and early and got dressed for his trip to school. As he brushed his hair he thought about the trip he made to the Dusleys. It was something he kept from his grandparents, he didn't want them finding out just how bad things were at the Dursleys. He knew where he Dursleys were going to be hidden and protected from the death eaters.

The house was a cottage in the country. It was surrounded by powerful wards that would ensure they could not be found by the death eaters. Alex wondered why he never did this when he was growing up so he would at least be able to have some kind of childhood that didn't include broken bones and heavy chores. But then he remembered this was the same man who had taken him from his mother immediately after birth and gave him away to people who hurt him for as long as he could remember all that to turn him into a sacrificial lamb for the masses.

Alex was wearing black and green his two favourite colours from head to toe, his hair tied back in a ponytail. Without the fringe he used to hide his eyes they changed shades of green matching the sea he could feel inside of himself. He stood outside the gates of the cottage, the spell he was going to cast going round and round in his mind. For a moment he wanted to just walk away and leave but he didn't. He needed to do this, he needed to help himself realise that he didn't deserve what they put him through and they needed to know it was not okay, that there would be consequences and that Dumbledore was not there to protect them any longer. The wards could not keep him out they were not powerful enough he was after a godling.

He saw Petunia walk past one of the windows inside the house. Considering the fact that the cottage was bigger and much nicer than Privet drive she looked like the cat that got the cream. They had been told that as the family of the boy who lived they could keep the house even when this was all over.

Alex didn't bother with the niceties of walking up the path to the cottage from the gate and announcing himself, he water travelled inside right in front of the Dursleys who were sat at the table about to have dinner.

Vernon looked up first and was about to shout when Alex waved a hand effectively shutting him up with magic and gluing all three Dursleys to their chairs.

He turned to Petunia first and said "Petunia Dursley, the woman who took in a child stolen from its mother the moment h was born. Treated that child with contempt because of jealousy. You made sure he was miserable the entire time he as in your home and you did nothing to protect him or even comfort him when your family hurt him."

He then looked at Vernon and said "Vernon Dursley, the bully who took his wife's fears and used them to feed your sick twisted bullying tendencies to make yourself feel powerful."

"…and let us not forget your progeny, Dudley Dursley. I actually feel sorry for you. You were never taught any morals and were made to believe that you would be able to get anything you want whenever you want it without working for it or even knowing where it came from."

Petunia finally gathered enough courage to speak and asked "Who are you?"

Alex smirked and said "Why aunt Petunia, are telling me that after all these years you would not recognise your own nephew? Oh well seeing as I was kidnapped as a baby we were never related. You know me as Harry Potter, but my real name is Alexandre Flamel Neptune. I am the son of Poseidon the god of the sea. Dumbledore wanted a weapon to use against the dark lord who was terrorising the wizarding world but none of the wizards were strong enough to stand up to him but he knew a god would be able to without any problems. So he hatched a plan where he took me from my mother after she gave birth to me, his plan needed me downtrodden so he could control me and make me look up to him as some kind of saviour and for that he needed you. He knew how much you hated your sister and it would not take much to persuade you to mistreat me. You had a choice then. You could have refused and left me in an orphanage and if you were still forced then things might have been different. I checked you for spells of coercion but it looks like you didn't any you were quite happy to treat me like your little slave and punching bag. My parents want vengeance on you for the way you raised me so I won't do much to you now as you will have to face their wrath as soon as the war of the gods and the titans is over, the wizards won't be able to protect you from them. The wizards' powers come from a minor goddess, my dad is one of the three of the most powerful gods. . ."

Petunia had a look of horror on her face with every revelation that came from the child. This child was not Lily's, she had been abusing a stranger's child and it turns out that the parents were alive, also gods and wanted revenge.

She watched as the child began a spell.

She could feel the enchantment take hold and she knew that she was in trouble. "What did you do to us?"

She didn't like the smile the boy gave as he answered "Oh don't worry Petunia. You are either going to confess everything you did to me to the police or you are going to endure everything you and your family did to me. Every broken bone, every beating, every humiliation, the hunger the confinement the slavery, everything. The best part is that no-one but you, your husband and son will see these injuries. No doctor will be able to do anything for you. The choice is yours."

He returned home after that and decided to never go back there again. He decided it was enough that they were suffering. It was something he could live with after all he gave them something they never gave him, an option to get out of their punishment.

The Hogwarts express was just the same as ever. Alex said goodbye to his grandparents who had taken him to the station. He felt overwhelmed with emotion as this was the first he had someone to say goodbye to. He found an empty compartment and sat down in it. It was not one of the ones he used to frequent with Gryffindors. This one was in the front of the train, it was nice and quiet, however this was disturbed after half an hour just as the train began to pull out of the station. Someone slammed open the door revealing Alex reading a book while he sat by the window.

Looking up from his book Alex saw the last person he wanted to see. Draco Malfoy. The sneer on the pointy face made Alex realise that because of his size the boy would see him as an easy target. Well he would just have to disabuse him of that notion now wouldn't he?

Draco "Out firstie!"

Alex looked at Draco and tried to see what it was that had infuriated him about the boy before. He just didn't seem as important in the grand scheme of things. So instead of answering he returned to his book knowing full well that this would piss off the boy.

Draco "Oi, are you deaf? I said out. This compartment is already booked."

Alex finally looked up from his book and said "If you are trying to intimidate me Malfoy it won't work. If you wanted this compartment you should have come in earlier and sat in it. Now you get out and find yourself somewhere else to sit, I'm trying to read."

Draco brought out his wand in a fit of anger and cast a spell with the intention of frightening Alex, but Alex didn't even flinch. The spell Draco cast hit an invisible shield and sent the spell back to the caster. Draco seized up and froze then fell flat on his face.

Alex waved his hand and levitated Draco out of the compartment and said "Hope you have a nice journey Malfoy."

Following that incident he cast a couple of wards to keep people from being able to find the compartment while he was in it and managed to spend the rest of the journey in relative peace.

Alex noticed when he got off the train that a huge chunk of the students had not returned. In fact there were no muggleborns in the school and the halfblodds had their heads down as if they were afraid of something. Alex could see the hand of the deatheaters in the atmosphere. He was going to have to move up his plans if he was to prevent the dark lord gaining control of the school. One thing he was not counting on when he went past the wards of the school was to feel them settle on him.

A female voice in his head spoke "Welcome, my lord. I am Hogwarts. It has been some time since we have had your kind walk amongst us. I am glad you know your heritage now and I am able to communicate with you. It is good that you are here now. The dark one tried to take over the wards this morning and is planning on returning within the week after researching how to take them over. However with you here he will be unable to do so. You can hide me and all the innocents within my grounds."

Alex realised that things would not be as he had planned. They had accelerated much faster than he anticipated. "My lady Hogwarts, I will do as you ask, you need not fear. You have done well keeping the wards from those who would wish those within harm."

Upon getting out of the carriage he travelled in Alex poured power into the wards making them stronger, he felt Hogwarts raise more wards that had been taken down over the years, one of the wards was a ward to keep out anyone with the dark lord's mark. He didn't see a group of nine slytherins , six Ravenclaws, four Gryffindors, a Hufflepuff and Severus Snape standing outside the wards. They could not see the school or make their way back inside it.
