CH 11 Dursley's fate
Leaving Gringott's Harry and Sir David went to Madam Malkins where Harry was able to get some new robes. For the first time he noticed the Potter family crest being placed on some of the formal robes. After paying for the robes, they headed toward another building, which said Doctor Dennis Bond.
"I made an appointment for you to get a medical checkup. Doctor Bond was the Potter family Doctor and is a Magical healer and Doctor." Sir David said as they walked into the building.
An older man came out of the office and smiled at Harry. "I haven't seen you since you were a baby Harry." Doctor Bond said as he led Harry and Sir David into an exanimation room where Doctor Bond took out his wand and used it to scan Harry's body.
"How is Harry?" Sir David asked.
"Amazingly healthy. But his magical energy is pretty weak." The Doctor said as he looked at them. "Based on this I would say that Harry has been using part of his magical energy to help heal himself." Doctor Bond said.
"And that is not good?" Sir David asked.
"Magical energy is not supposed to be used to help heal yourself unless you are in real danger. With proper medical attention, Harry would not have had to use some much of his magic to help himself heal. Based on my scan I would say that at least 40% of Harry's magic has been used to help heal him. 25%% to 30% is normal." The Doctor explained.
"Can anything be done?" Harry asked.
"I can give you some potions that will help bring your body back to normal. I would say that by the time you return to Hogwarts your magical energy would be normal. And you will discover that your magic will be much stronger then it was before." Doctor Bond explained.
"What does that mean?" Harry asked.
"Did you get your OWL grades yet?" Doctor Bond asked.
"Yes. I got an O in DADA and Transfiguration. And I got E's in everything else accept for astronomy and History of magic where I got an incomplete." Harry explained.
"Based on your O in Transfiguration I would say that you are an Animagus like James or even a Metamorphmagus. During the OWL exam they are able to find students who show ability in those areas and they get an automatic grade of O." The Doctor said.
"Really?" Harry said excited at the thought of be an animagus like Sirius and his father or being a Metamorphmagus like Tonks. "How soon will I find out?" Harry asked.
"I would expect Professor McGonagall to discuss it with you when you get back to Hogwart's." Doctor Bond said before turning back to his exam.
"You do have a problem with your vision. Those glasses of yours are not strong enough to handle your needs and in fact are causing damage to your eyes. I would recommend magical contact lens." Doctor Bond said showing Harry a box.
"These contacts are very different from muggle contacts. They self adjust as needed. In addition, you say Contacus removious to place them back in the box at night. And when you open the box the contacts magically appear in your eye." The Doctor said.
"No more putting on glasses?" Harry asked.
"The contacts also create an illusion of glasses. Therefore, when anyone looks at you they will see you wearing glasses. "The Doctor added.
"Is that why I see so many wizards with glasses?" Harry asked.
"To a degree yes. These contacts are very expensive. Because of that, most wizards cannot afford them so they have to wear glasses. In addition, wearing glasses is part of our tradition. Except for elite athletes, most people do not wear contacts and those who do keep it very secret. But with Harry's well know Quittich abilities I would say that contacts would be perfect for him" Doctor Bond suggests.
"That's a good idea. Could I keep these glasses as the illusion created by the contacts?" Harry asked
"That's not a problem." Doctor Bond said. "And now we must turn to your scar. There is an unusual magical signature coming from the scar." Doctor Bond said.
"My connection to Voldemot?" Harry asked
"That would be my guess. The potions I am giving you should help reduce the signature. In addition, I would recommend that you study Occlumency. That would help…" Doctor Bond started to say but was stopped by Harry.
"Snape was teaching me Occlumency but it was not helping." Harry interrupting Doctor Bond
"Then I would recommend finding another teacher. I also want you to get a book on Legilimency/Occlumency. I will order it for you and have it sent to your house." The Doctor suggests.
"Fine." Harry said.
"Excellent. If you take off your glasses I will setup your new contacts." The Doctor said as Harry removed his glasses. The Doctor then tapped Harry's glasses, which disappeared followed by the Doctor tapping the box with the contacts. The Doctor then put in Harry's new contacts.
Magically Harry's glasses reappeared on his face. Harry was then given a mirror. "It doesn't look different." Harry said.
"That is the point. If anyone looks at you, they will notice nothing different. But see what happens when you say Glassus Removis." The Doctor said.
When Harry did that, his glasses disappeared. "I can see without my glasses." Harry said with a smile When Harry said Glassus Restouris the glasses returned.
"That's amazing. " Sir David said looking closely at Harry. He was even more amazed when he could remove the glasses from Harry's face.
"Makes the glasses more realistic to others. Anything regular glasses can do these magically created glasses can do. But only within 10 feet." The Doctor said. "There is one more thing I need to discuss. I have been asked to create a report on Harry's condition for the legal authorities." The Doctor explained.
"For the case against the Dursley's. Going to give us a preview?" Sir David asked.
"The report will say that Harry has suffered serve child abuse through lack of care. I would say that there is enough for a serious case of child abuse. "The Doctor says.
"But?" Harry asks.
"The lack of any evidence of physical injuries will hurt any muggle case. Nevertheless, the use of Harry's magical energy to help heal him will help in a case brought in the Wizarding world. For that reason I will be recommending that any case of abuse against Harry be brought through a magical court." Doctor Bond reports.
"What do you think Harry?" Sir David asks.
"I was hated and abused because I showed signs of magic. Forcing them to face justice for what they did to me in the Wizarding world would be proper justice." Harry said
"I will agree with Harry on this." Sir David said.
"Good. I will send the report to them. I expect that you will hear from them very soon. It was very nice seeing you again Harry." Doctor Bond said shaking Harry's hand.
Harry and Sir David then returned home. Over the couple of weeks, Harry continued to enjoy his time with his new family. The highlight was when Sir David took Harry to Rome. Sir David had some business but made sure that he could show Harry the sights.
Harry really enjoyed this trip. He remembered when Hermione wrote about the times she went on trips with her parents and understood the joy of traveling. Soon after returning home, the Evans had a visitor.
"An Amelia Bones and William Weasley to see you and Master Harry Sir David." The butler announced. Harry got up to greet the two visitors.
"It's great seeing you Bill." Harry told Bill before focusing on Amelia. "AN honor to see you Madam Bones." Harry said in a more formal tone of voice. "This is my Grandfather Sir David Evans. Grandfather ,let me introduce you to Madam Amelia Bones Head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement and William Weasley Ministry of Magic Liaison to the Goblin Nation." Harry said introducing the visitors.
"Nice to meet you both. I am guessing that you are here about the case against the Dursley's?" Sir David asked.
"Yes. The muggle authorities have finished their cases against the Dursley family. They plead guilty to all charges not involving Harry." Madam Bones announced.
"What was their punishment?" Sir David asked.
"Vernon got 25 years in jail. Mostly for the charges involving misconduct as a director. Petunia Dursley got 8 years in jail. For charges involving the treatment of their son Dudley. In addition, Dudley has been taken to St. Brutus' Secure Centre for Incurably Criminal Boys to help get treatment. He will remain there until he turns 21." Madam Bones said as Harry started to laugh.
"Excuse me. For many years Uncle Vernon and Aunt Petunia said that I was at St. Brutus and now it is Dudley who is there." Harry said.
"Ironic justice." Madam Bones said. "The Dursley's also have to make restitution to Grunnings
In addition, to the other victims. But they have nowhere enough to repay." Madam Bones said.
"I will cover it. Petunia is my daughter and I do feel honor bound to repay the damage caused by her and her family. "Sir David said.
"I will leave you the details. That now leaves the case involving Harry. The recommendation is that the case be handled by a magical court. The muggle authorities have agreed to the request and now we have to decide who will hear the case against Vernon and Petunia Dursley," Madam Bones said looking at Bill.
"The Goblins are demanding that they be turned over to them. They are claiming that since the Dursley's were appointed as Gringott's guardians that any misconduct be tried by the Goblins," Bill said
"And your opinion on this?" Sir David asked Madam Bones.
"It would make my life easier. Any case involving Harry would be heard by the Wizengamot or Wizarding high court. However, it is paralyzed. There is no chief warlock and until one is elected it can not handle any other matters." Madam Bones said.
"What happened to Dumbledore? I thought that he was reinstated as Chief Warlock?" Harry asked.
"Yes but a Chief Warlock is only elected to a one year term which expired in the beginning of July. Two people are opposing Dumbledore and until one gets a majority, the Wizengamot cannot conduct any other business. It would be much easier to let the Goblins handle the case. But we would need your agreement. "Madam Bones said
"How will they be punished?" Harry asked.
"Lifetime enslavement. With Harry being their official master." Bill explained. "The Goblins will wait until the Durlsey's finish their time in muggle jail before being transferred to Goblin custody." Bill added.
"Typical Goblin move. Wait until the person thinks that they are finished with their punishment and then suddenly get their own justice." Amelia Bones said.
"Raise the hope of freedom before taking it away." Bill added.
"What do you think Harry?" Amelia asks Harry.
"I just want it over. I want to forget about the Dursley's and live my life." Harry said.
"I completely understand Harry. This way would be the quickest way to end this," Amelia tells them.
"Then let it happen the way you discussed. The priority has to be what is best for Harry." Sir David tells them.
"I will inform the muggle authorities and Bill will inform the Goblins and this will end it for Harry." Amelia tells them.
"I also have the final papers from the Department of Families. As soon as you sign these forms you will be Harry Potter's legal guardian," Amelia said.
Sir David quickly signed the form. He handed the form to Amelia.
"You should also be aware that the wards that were protecting Harry automatically transferred here and are in fact much stronger then it ever was when Harry was at the Dursley's." Bill said.
"Dumbledore was wrong when he said I had to stay with the Dursley's." Harry said.
"Not directly. Dumbledore was right about the blood wards but since Sir David is also related by blood to your mother, the wards work here as well and since they have accepted and shown love toward you the wards are at full strength instead of only being only at half strength while at the Dursley's. Bill said
Harry noticed how Amelia Bones reacted to Dumbledore's name being mentioned and wanted to know more.
"I think that covers everything Bill. Why don't you let the Goblins know what happened." Amelia said.
"That's a good idea. I will also let Mom know that Harry is all right." Bill said as he said goodbye to Harry and left.
