Sunday – 10th of June – Number 12 Grimmauld Place – 9:18 AM
"Now that Breakfast is done, we must leave to Gringotts! Then we will walk around Diagon Alley or return here until lunch before continuing with our Occlumency training!" Sirius called out as he pulled me towards the fireplace in the same Livingroom as before. I nodded and grabbed a hand full of flew powder and through it into the fireplace.
"Diagon Alley!" I then stepped through and almost fell over as I stepped through. I then quickly moved aside as ten seconds later, Sirius came through. Remus followed after as he ruffled my hair as he came out.
"Let's get going, Pad-foot." Remus said as he began leading us to Gringotts. I followed as Sirius walked next to me as he started rambling about all the fun we were going to have together this summer. I continued following Remus as I kept glancing in front of and at Sirius so as Sirius rambled. "Were here." Remus said as we entered the bank. I looked at both Remus and Sirius before looking over to see Griphook talking to another goblin. We met eyes for a moment before Griphook turned to the other goblin and bid him farewell before starting to make his way over to me.
Perfect.
"I need to do some business with Griphook. I'll be out in just a few minutes or so." I said as Sirius and Remus looked at each other and nodded their heads as they went to the desk to line up for a goblin to talk to them. Griphook made his way up to me and motioned me with his head to follow him.
"It is good to see you again, Mister Potter. I could tell just by looking at you that you needed to talk to me." Griphook said as we entered the familiar office room. I sat myself down on my usual chair and turned to Griphook as he sat down in front of me. "So what is it that has happened, Mister Potter?" Griphook questioned as he looked at me.
"You know how I told you about what Arthur Weasley did on the last day of Hogwarts and how I sent you that letter about sending Madam Bones all that evidence on Dumbledore?" Griphook nodded his head. "When I got to my relatives home yesterday night when my Aunt picked me up. My Uncle Vernon was acting… strange. My Aunt told me before that that Dumbledore had visited while I was at Hogwarts and convinced my Uncle Vernon to keep me locked up in the house all summer." Griphook started writing down the information. "I believe my Aunt either thinks Dumbledore is bribing him or my Uncle is under a spell. I think the situation needs to be looked into by Gringotts to see if it's bribing, if not, I need someone to keep an eye on my Uncle Vernon when I have to go their next summer to visit my Aunt Petunia." I said as Griphook nodded his head and stood up. I stood as well as we exited the room.
"Potter!" I turned to see not only see a fuming Ron in a rundown shirt and sweat covering his body, but I also see Molly and Ginny behind him. I just stared at them for a moment before turning to Griphook.
"Are they dressed like that because they want to or because they can't afford anything?" I questioned as Griphook just glared at them.
"Because they can't afford anything." Griphook said simply as I watched Ginny shiver in the ratty dress. I sighed as I turned to Griphook with a dejected look.
"If I give you ten gallons, will you buys them some new, decent cloths that aren't expensive and can keep them at least a little warm? I may be taking revenge on them but they shouldn't freeze to death." Ron, Ginny and Molly looked at me with wide eyes as they. A small smile came to Ginny's lips as I felt hatred course through me as I remembered what she had done to me. "… at least not until they finish serving their punishment for stealing from me and trying to make me marry their youngest daughter." I said as I turned away and strode into the common earlier of the bank. I saw Remus and Sirius walking towards me with smiles on their faces.
"POTTER, YOU BASTARD!"
We all turned to see Ron running at me like a mad man. I just looked at Sirius who was narrowing his eyes at the incoming Ron.
"He's been trying to hurt, kill and sabotage me since first year." I said simply as suddenly a stunning spell hit Ron, but it didn't come from Sirius. I turned to see Remus put his wand away and look at me and Sirius innocently.
"What?" Remus asked innocently as goblins started dragging Ron's stunned form further into the bank and out of view. Onlookers watched Ron get dragged away before glancing at Remus, Sirius and I as they went back to their business.
"I think I'll refrain from pranking you until I'm older." I said simply as Remus just smiled at me. Sirius gave a laugh but froze as I turned to him. "But your free game." I said with a wicked smile before turning and exiting the bank as Remus and Sirius followed behind me.
"What!" Sirius said as he jogged to start walking beside me. Remus just walked normally as he easily caught up to us with his long legs. "Why would you want to prank me?! A Marauder!" Sirius said as he looked at me with pleading eyes.
"What!"
I looked to my left to see Fred and George looking at me with wide eyes that were filled with shock and wonder. Arthur was behind them and was switching between looking at the twins and Sirius, Remus and I.
"Oh. I don't remember if I told you or not but Sirius here is Pad-foot, Remus is Moony and my dad, James Potter, was Prongs. Peter Pettigrew was Wormtail." I said simply as I then turned and started walking away again. Remus and Sirius followed as they looked at me and the twins. The twins just stood there gaping at me as we walked away. "I should have probably introduced you two to them, they are big fans of yours." I said as we started to enter Diagon Alley. Remus and Sirius just looked at each other before looking back at me and shrugging.
"We'll meet them when they come over later in the summer." Sirius said dismissively. "What do you want as a special treat from me, bambi?" I stopped mid step as I turned slowly to Sirius with fire raging in my eyes. Sirius seemed to shrink as he looked at me.
"What did you just call me?" I asked as Remus just chuckled. Sirius raised his hands in surrender. I was about to turn around when Sirius just smirked at me.
"I called you bambi. If you don't like it, I can come up with other nicknames for you or I can just give you a bunch of nicknames and just call you them whenever I need you or talking to you." Sirius said as he stared back at me. I glared at him before smirking.
"Alright. I guess I'll just call you old man then. You are in your thirties, aren't you?" I said innocently as I tuned and continued walking into Diagon Alley. I heard Sirius sputter as he chased after me with Remus muffling his laughter with his hand.
"Fine." Sirius said as he pouted at me. I rolled my eyes as Sirius then wrapped an arm around me. "Now what do you want, cub?" I sighed before turning to Sirius with a blank look. Sirius just continued staring at me as we passed by multiple people who pointed and stared at us.
"I would like some books on Ancient runes and Arithmacy. I'll be taking those classes in my third year since we can only pick two." I said simply as Sirius sighed but nodded his head.
"Anything else? Books are good but I don't want you spending all your time reading." Sirius said as he looked at me with pleading eyes. I sighed and rolled my eyes.
"Well, I am substitute seeker for the Ravenclaw Quidditch team so I do need a good broom that is built for speed and maybe some good protective gear for when bludgers are aimed at me." I said as Sirius perked up.
"I'll get you the fastest broom available with the best protective gear that is fitted to your size!" Sirius said excitedly as he started to physically drag me to the Quality Quidditch shop. I sighed as we entered the shop.
"Good Morning, how may I help you three… today?" The man trailed off as he caught sight of my scar. The man then noticed Sirius and paled slightly as he recognized him. "W-what can I d-do for you t-today?" The man asked as he trembled slightly. Sirius rolled his eyes slightly before smiling and pointing to me.
"I'm getting my Godson a broom and protective Quidditch gear for when he starts his second year. He's the Ravenclaw backup seeker." Sirius said as the man perked up slightly. The man then rushed as he grabbed the latest broom. A Nimbus 2001, and the best Quidditch gear he had.
"H-here. This is the fastest and latest broom available and this is the best protective gear for a seeker, it resizes to fit you when you put it on and expands when you take it off. It softens the blow where bludgers hit and you have to hit it pretty hard to even make a dent in it." The man said as Sirius nodded his head in agreement and took out a Gringotts card.
"How much is this all?" I asked as both Sirius and the man looked at me for a second. Sirius then turned to look at the man expectantly.
"Oh, its seventy five gallons for the broom and fifteen galleons and twelve sickles for the protective gear." I sighed at that and turned to Sirius as Sirius just smiled and went to pay for the broom and gear. I grabbed Sirius's hand as Sirius then turned to look at me questioningly.
"How about I pay for the broom and you pay for the gear. It'll be more than ninety galleons if I you pay for it all."" I said as Sirius then shook his head.
"I don't mind! If I can buy you things to make you happy, then I will gladly do it." Sirius then went to pay again but was stopped as I kept ahold of his hand. Sirius turned to look at me again as I shook my head.
"I don't want you buying me things because you think they'll make me happy. I'm already happy because you're hanging out with me, it's good enough for me." I said as I then took out my own Gringotts card. I looked at the man that was looking between me and Sirius with wide eyes. "I'll pay for the broom and gear." I said as I then reached my hand to swipe the card.
"NO!" Sirius said as he yanked his hand out of my grip and swiped the card. I gave a glare to Sirius as the man then gave Sirius a receipt and packaged up the items with a flick of his wand. Sirius turned to me with a large stern look as Remus just watched up with amusement. "I'm your Godfather, I'm making up for years of missed birthdays and Christmases. Let me do this." Sirius said pleadingly as I sighed in defeat.
"Fine. But don't buy anything to expensive." I said as I then turned and started leaving as Sirius followed with the now packaged and shrunk broom and quidditch gear in his pocket. Remus just shook his head as he followed both of us.
"Harry's a Ravenclaw but they're both self-righteous idiots." Remus muttered under his breath. I ignored it as we entered Flourish and Blotts. I immediately started looking at the books that were on the shelf for anything interesting.
I hadn't finished reading the other books yet but I would have time for that during the summer. I do need to finish reading that book on… Carriers.
I froze as I browsed the isles. Sirius and Remus didn't seem to notice as they laughed and joked just at the end of the isle of where I was browsing.
That book on Carriers that I left under my pillow at Hogwarts. That book on Carriers that Tracey saw me read and placed under my pillow. The book on carriers that was under my pillow on my bed that Cecil was found dead in.
Fuck.
I took a deep breath in and breathed out as I then continued with my looking around but I wasn't as excited as before now that the thought of Tracey knowing was in my thoughts.
If Tracey knows, then Dumbledore knows as well. He'll be trying to set me up with a male now. The only males I know of that Dumbledore will try set me up with are Ron. I don't know any other males that are my age that Dumbledore controls.
"Harry?" I looked over to see Remus looking at me with concerned eyes. Sirius was beside Remus with his own concerned look. "How about we go home and come back another time? Something seems to be bothering you." Remus asked as he started directing me to the exit of Flourish and Blotts. I nodded my head as we exited the shop and went on our way to the Leaky Cauldron.

Sunday – 10th of June – Number 12 Grimmauld Place – 11:33 AM
We entered through the fireplace in the living room of Grimmauld Place. Sirius came out behind me as I stumbled into Remus's arms. I blushed slightly as Remus steadied me. Sirius stood beside me as Remus then left with a small smile in my direction. Sirius turned to me and led me over to two couches that were next to each other. Sirius sat down on the left one and turned to face me with a concerned stern look as I sat down on the right chair.
"What's wrong?" Sirius asked as I stared at Sirius for a second before shacking my head softly. Sirius frowned. "Please tell me what's wrong, Harry. Something is bothering you and I want to know what it is." Sirius said stubbornly. I sighed and shook my head again and got up.
"I'm sorry Sirius but I just can't talk about it right now." I said as I turned to leave. I heard Sirius get up and grab my arm. I felt Sirius turn me around so I was facing him. I looked Sirius in the eyes for a split second before I was picked up by under my arm pits. "Sirius!" I cried out in shock and embarrassment. Sirius then laughed as he then sat back down on the couch and placed my on his lap.
"This is what you get for not telling me what's wrong. You aren't leaving my arms until you tell me!" Sirius said with a large smile. I groaned in annoyance as Sirius squeezed my tighter to him with a large smile.
"I'm not a child, Sirius!" I said angrily as Sirius just ruffled my hair. I sighed in annoyance before placing my head on Sirius's shoulder and closed my eyes as Sirius rubbed my6 back. "I'm not a child." I muttered weakly." Sirius just nodded his head and continued the back rubbing.
I'm an adult but I'm stuck in the body of my child self. Of course their going to treat me like a child, that's what I look like in their eyes.
"Just tell me what's wrong. I can help with whatever it is." I sighed as Sirius smiled contently. I held back a sigh of annoyance and just slowly nodded my head in defeat. Sirius gently patted my back again as he waited for me to begin.
"I'm a carrier." I said softly as Sirius froze for a moment before he continued rubbing my back. "And I had a book on the subject but I think Tracey took it and is going to tell Dumbledore." Sirius froze again before he began rocking me in his arms.
I'm not a fucking child!
"It's going to be alright, Harry. If she does tell Dumbledore, I'll simply ask for the Carrier procedure for Hogwarts." I pulled back and looked at Sirius in confusion. Sirius chuckled at my face as he explained. "If you are a magical species that is sought out or a male carrier, you can ask for your own room for protection. It's rule 384#." Sirius said as I slowly nodded my head. "And if he tells the whole school or Tracey tells the whole school, just invoke this school rule. If he doesn't listen to you, hide with one of your male friends that you can trust and contact me through owl. Or better yet!" Siriu7s lifted me off his lap and ran out of the room.
"That was weird." I said simply before Sirius ran back in the room with two mirrors. Sirius sat beside me this time and handed me one of the mirrors.
"Simply say my name and the mirror will activate. It will show whatever this mirror is showing and we can communicate through it." Sirius said as I looked into the mirror. Sirius smiled at me as I gave a small smile back.
"Sirius Black." I said as the mirror glowed for a second and Sirius's face speared on the other side with a large smile. I smiled back and laughed as Sirius started making faces in the mirror. "Thanks, Padfoot." I said as Remus then walked back into the room but stopped by the door.
"Are you two finished talking or do you want me to come back later?" Remus asked as he looked at us. I motioned Remus over and got up to give Remus my seat. Remus and Sirius looked at each other before smirking. I felt myself being picked up by my arm pits again and placed on a three seated couch, directly in the middle. Remus and Sirius took both the other sides of the couch with smiles.
"You guys are weird." I said as I laid my head back. Sirius and Remus just smiled at me. "Do you guys want to play a game or wok on our Occlumency?" I asked as Sirius and Remus looked at each other.
"I think we can work on our Occlumency after lunch and for now just get to know each other better." Remus said as he waved his wand and the game monopoly appeared on the table just a bit away. I turned to look at Remus with a raised eyebrow.
"Are you sure you want to play that game? I hear most people fight about it when playing." I said as Sirius smirked at me. Remus just stood and sat on one of the sides of where the monopoly board was and began setting it up.
"Best way to know someone. Get them angry." Sirius sat as he then stood and sat across from Remus and began dishing out the money. I rolled my eyes and sat down between them and looked at all the pieces before pointing to the ship.
"I want that one." I said simply as I gathered the money Sirius gave me and laid it out in front of me. The game was about to begin.

Sunday – 10th of June – Number 12 Grimmauld Place – 4:45 PM
Harry's Mind
I smiled as I finished placing all the memories from my past life in a piece of metal shaped to look like my scar. I had also filled the draws with random trinkets so you would have to look around for the items. I looked around the room and smiled.
"Now I need to fill this place up." I said as I then imagined a wardrobe and filled it with cloths that were the rags of when I was at the Dursley's in my past and the beginning of the life. "I can fill these with fake memories. Then I can start making the place messy." I said as I then started putting fake memories into the clothes.
"I should also probably put my memories of this life in here somewhere, but where?" I looked around and smirked as I then walked to the walls and started imagining pictures and portraits of my enemy's, friends and family. "I can make it like Hogwarts and have something behind these portraits. Maybe a small safe to keep items but not every portrait need something behind it." I then sighed as I opened Dumbledore's Portrait and smirked softly.
"I doubt he would think I'd place important memories behind his portrait." I then imagined a small safe appearing in the wall behind the portrait and smiled when it appeared. I then imagined a lock on the safe. "The safe lock can be 561980 for Draco's birthday." I whispered as I then opened the safe with the combination. "I'll have the years of my Hogwarts life in this safe." I then imagined figurine of Quirel and pushed all my memories of my first year into the figurine before shutting the safe and the portrait. "The password is… Lemon Drops are for the Greater Good." I snickered at that as the portrait of Dumbledore nodded his head. I then walked over to the picture of Remus and Sirius laughing with Tonks and Teddy. I smiled sadly at my Godson before opening the portrait.
"This can be where I store my summer memories." I said as I then imagined the safe and lock. "The combination can be 141978 for the Fred and George's birthday." I then imagined a picture of Sirius, Remus and I smiling at the camera with the words 'First Summer' above it. It was the picture we had taken earlier today after we finished playing monopoly and had lunch. I pushed all the memories I had of this summer I had right now into the picture. I closed the safe and the portrait and smiled at Teddy. "The password is Teddy Remus Lupin, the best Godson in the world." I said simply as the Teddy in the portrait giggled and laughed at me.
I exited the house and walked into the meadow. I looked around and looked at the lake with a frown before looking around again.
"I could move the lake to surround the cabin and make a single pathway that lead to the doorstep. The Mer-people can guard the pathway from intruders." I closed my eyes and opened them to see myself on a thin pathway that lead to the surrounding meadow. "I'll also need defenses like dragons, basilisks, Acromantula's and maybe some Centaurs and three headed dogs." I muttered as I started imagining the creatures roaming around the meadow. I opened my eyes and sighed softly. "Maybe I should change the scenery to a dark and gloomy forest?" I closed my eyes and imagined the meadow changing into a forest. I opened my eyes and looked around.
"Well… that's a start. I need to add more details to this though before I even think about making a shield." I said as I closed my eyes and imagined a fog surrounding the forest. I opened my eyes and couldn't see an inch in front of me. I slowly backtracked to the cabin and entered the house with a sigh. "This is going to take a while." I muttered as I closed my eyes.
"Harry!"
Out of Harry's Mind
I snapped my eyes open to see Sirius smiling at me. I put my necklace on as Sirius started leading me to the dining room to eat dinner. It had been five hours since I had entered my mind. Time sure flies.
