Merry Christmas Everyone. I hope you all have a great and safe Christmas/holiday. Have fun and enjoy yourselves. But take time to think of those who can't be with you by distance, by illness, unable to travel or those that have past on. But also take time to think about the less fortunate.

A Happy New Year: And I hope it will be a good one!
And on a personal note to my Nan who passed this year. I'll miss you at Christmas the most. I love you and I hope you have quite the celebration in Heaven with the rest of our family and friends that have gone before you. I hope you know we will be thinking about you and everyone else at Christmas.
Love you guys and this Chapter is just as much for you as it is for everyone.
Chapter .5.
Remus and the others had searched the house and there wasn't a sign of Harry being here in a very long time and the bedroom he was supposed to have was caked in a thick layer of dust. Why would Harry not live here? Was he forced out? But then again was that note so it didn't look like he had been forced out. And the tone of the letter suggested Harry was playing a game. Could this all be one big joke?
"Lets get back. We need to inform Albus and everyone", Alastor growls.
They leave the Dursley's behind if Albus wanted to check their memoires he could come here and check them himself.
The didn't bother with brooms like was the plan they apparated from down the street straight back to Grimmauld. Many of them very worried.
Remus was in first and didn't know how he was going to break the news to Sirius. How could he tell his best friend that his Godson was missing? That it seemed Harry had been hiding things?
As soon as they were through the door Sirius was on them looking for Harry.
"Where is Harry? Where is my Godson?" Sirius demands.
"He wasn't there Siri", Remus tells him gently but waited for the explosion.
"WHAT!?"
Screaming was heard from Mrs Black's portrait. Many hurry to shut it up before being ushered into the kitchen.
"Someone floo Albus", Alastor growls, not liking he probably had been tricked by a 14-year-old.
Arthur hurries to the floo and Albus appears moments later.
"Where is Harry?" Dumbledore asks his eyes twinkling.
"He wasn't there", Kingsley informs everyone.
Gasps of shock come from around the room.
"What happened?"
"What did you mean my Godson wasn't there?!"
"Was he kidnapped?"
"Was there a sign of a struggle?"
"Are his relatives alright?"
"Are there any clues?"
"That brat is obviously doing something stupid"
"Oh my the poor dear out there all alone"
"Did the Dementors get him?"
"Had You-Know-Who got him?"
"Severus have you heard anything?"
"SILENCE!" Dumbledore shouts.
Everyone settles down.
"Thank you. Now Alastor, Remus tell us what happened", Dumbledore asks.
They explain what the Dursley's said, the note from Harry in his supposed bedroom and what they found while searching the house.
"That is indeed troubling. Severus has Voldemort said anything to indicate he had young Harry?" Dumbledore asks his spy.
Severus sneers, "The Dark Lord doesn't have him. We would know. The brat is obviously doing something stupid and reckless and idiotic"
"Now, now Severus don't be too hasty. Can I see the note?" Dumbledore asks Remus.
Remus had him the note and Dumbledore studies it and waves his wand,
"Well Harry's magical signature is on this. And the clues to Remus obviously are things only he would know. But I don't understand why the boy has left his relatives house when it is the safest place for him", Dumbledore states with a frown.
"He would have been safer here with me!" Sirius exclaims.
"With you?" Molly asks looking like she didn't believe that words he was saying.
"Yes! At least he would be loved! Harry basically told me there was no love between him and the Dursley's", Sirius tells them.
"Now, now Sirius all families have their rough spots I am sure the Dursley's loved their nephew", Dumbledore tells him.
"Not from what I saw in their memories", Emmeline tells them.
"They must have been tampered with then", Molly states.
"Severus I want you to go to the Dursley's and check their minds for anything out of the ordinary and see if they have been tampered with. While I check their wards", Dumbledore tells them.
"This Albus was left on the floor of the bedroom Harry was meant to be in", Tonks says handing over the brick she had bought with her.
Albus and Minerva wave their wands over this. Albus's lips purse.
"This is truly a remarkable piece of magic. The brick projects the illusion that Potter was still in the house and forced the Dursley's not to tell anyone. While basically made people not question the fact he didn't live there", Minerva tells the group.
"It also somehow mimicked the wards of the house and others things. Like those wards had been transferred onto the brick", Dumbledore states.
Not going to tell them that it also held the spells he placed on Harry.
"Was all of Harry's things gone?" Molly asks them.
"Yes. There wasn't a trace of the boy in the house at all in quite a while", Alastor grumbles, "I don't know why I couldn't see that"
"It was the brick. Somehow he knew you would be watching and somehow he got someone to have an illusion of him being inside so real your eye wouldn't notice the difference", Minerva tells him.
Alastor grumbles not liking that he indeed had been tricked.
"Now Sirius, Molly, Arthur, Remus I need all of you three to write a letter each to Harry and implore him to tell you his location so we can bring him to safety. Try and implore to his sense of right and his need to not make any of you worry. I'll get Ronald and Miss Granger to also right letters", Albus tells them, "I will also right my personal letter"
They each nod.
"Molly can I have you get Miss Granger and Ronald more me so we can talk in private?" Dumbledore asks her politely, but gives her a pointed look to get Ginny too.
She nods and hurries out.
"Kingsley, Hestia, Emmeline, Nymphadora please go to the Ministry and see if you can find anything out", Dumbledore orders.
They nod and leave.
"Severus discreetly see if you can gain any information. Before I give you a time to come to the Dursley's with me and Minerva talk to Hagrid to see if Harry has been in touch with him or ask him too to send him a letter", Dumbledore continues.
Minerva nods and everyone leaves as Molly, Ron, Ginny and Hermione come in. Once the door was shut and Dumbledore put up spells to stop spying. Dumbledore slams his hand on the table.
"How could the boy be so foolish! How could he trick ME!?" Dumbledore exclaims.
"HOW COULD THAT BOY WORRY US LIKE THIS!" Molly yells.
The kids didn't know what was happening. But they were given the letter and all three didn't look pleased.
"How dare the bastard pull something like this!?" Ron growls.
"He is not smart enough to pull this off on his own. And how dare he ruin our plans!" Hermione growls.
"How can I get closer to him if he won't be coming here?" Ginny growls, "Where would he even stay anyway?"
"This brick sir what else does it do?" Hermione asks.
"Besides from transferring the wards it also transferred ALL the tracking spells we put on him and his items onto it. As well as some of the others spells we had on him", Dumbledore says not looking happy at all.
"THAT BOY WOULD WRECK ALL OUR PLANS OR YOUR PLANS ALBUS!" Molly yells.
"What do we do? I WANT to be Lady Potter", Ginny whines.
"I need you three to also sent him letters and implore him to contact you. Pled to his loyalty and his sense to do what is right or pled to his ability to not let others worry about him. Do what you have to get his location. And then I ask Molly to put tracking charms on the letters. We WILL find him. We HAVE too for the boys own good and for the greater good of all", Dumbledore instructs them.
They nod but grumble muttering about it was just like Harry to create more work for them. But they needed to get him back for his money and fame and all their plans to go through…
Fred and George had been snickering in their room. That had been funny to watch on their spy cams. But they would need to inform Harry of Dumbledore's and the others plans.
But one thing was for sure they had no clue who they were dealing with…
Nightstar Island…
Few Days Later…
Harry and some of his wives, and the Avengers were having a calm breakfast for once before going about their hectic days. But Harry was in a few places at once. He could split himself into copies a few times and be in multiple places. It helped with all the work he was taking on. His wives could do it to a limited degree too.
He had a interesting conversation with the Twins a few days ago and now he was waiting for the inerrable letters to arrive. He had already go the letters about the Dementor attack from Sirius and Mr Weasley and how could they sat just stay and the house and not ask how he was? If he HAD been at the Dursley's he would have been hurt and angry at them.
They hadn't even contacted him these holiday's. He knew why. But still. At least he had true friends that would stick by him.
Suddenly a knock was on the door of the dinning room.
"Come in", Harry calls.
"Sorry to intrude Your Imperial Majesties, Imperial Highnesses, Sirs and Madams, I have mail for you my Emperor", his Head of Security Commander Dawson says bowing him to him.
"It is about time. I was wondering where that mail could have gotten too", Harry chuckles.
"It is a about bloody time", Daphne states.
"It is indeed love", Harry replies.
He then turns Head of Security.
"Anything to report?" Harry asks.
"9 letters. 5 had tracking charms on the letters and on the owls. Obviously they were disable immediately upon connection to our wards. And of course the wards would misdirect the each track to a different location. Head Curse Breaker Norok also checked them. 5 have compulsion charms on them. 1 more powerful than the others. 2 had a tracking solution on them. Designed to when in contact with the persons skin would transfer to them. 1 had love potion solution on it, keyed to a one Ginevra Weasley. 3 had a loyalty solution on them keyed to Albus Dumbledore, Weasley Family and Hermione Granger. 5 were designed to nudge you to accept their 'suggestions' to come home. 1 had an automatic portkey on it. Designed to have you taken direction to a location upon touching it", Commander Dawson reports.
"WHAT!?" Tony Stark yells, "How dare they try to do that to MY son!"
Steve and Bucky put there hands on his shoulders to stop Tony from doing anything stupid.
Natasha his wife was growling, "I am going to kill them"
"They thought all that would work?" Betty asks shocked.
"Wizards don't had a drop of logic or sense in them", Stephen snorts.
"Probably couldn't even do the spells right", Wanda adds rolling her eyes.
"Idiots trying to steal our husband", Crystalia says rolling her eyes.
"Obviously that would never happen", Ororo states.
"I will kill that bitch for trying to steal you", Clarisse snarls.
"I think I am going to shove an arrow or two…", Zoe growls.
Harry puts up his hand to stop the comments and holds out his other hand for the letters. Dawson hands them to him.
"Your personal Head Potions Master has a sample of the solutions. He will be able to tell you more within 24 hours", Dawson tells him.
"That is acceptable", Harry says with a nod.
"By your leave my Emperor", Dawson says bowing.
"You may", Harry replies dismissing him.
Harry grimaces once Dawson left.
"These letters still reek of the potions", Harry mutters his creature side smelling them, "Even if I didn't have wards and security for this I would have picked up on it"
"Who are they from?" Narcissa asks curiously.
Harry looks through the names, "Sirius, Mr Weasley, Remus, Hagrid, Ron, Hermione, Ginny, Mrs Weasley, and Dumbledore"
"Quite a collection love. Auntie Amelia is going to be really interested in this", Susan states, "I'll have to make sure Dawson and his team have made a report"
"Penelope take note of that", Harry orders his Personal Assistant who had just turned up.
"I have made a note Your Majesty", Penelope says nodding.
"Whose letter are you going to read first?" Luna asks curiously.
"Sirius's", Harry says immediately.
Harry carried for his Godfather. But he didn't really know him. But Sirius had helped him and Harry knew Sirius cared for him.
Harry,
I am so proud of you Pup being able to fool the 'Great' Albus Dumbledore and 'Great' Auror Alastor Moody. You have done the Marauders proud. Padfoot bows to Prongslet.
Even through you about gave me a heart attack.
But I can't begin to tell you how worried I am about you at the moment. But I understood your need not to go back to the Dursley's by what little you have told me.
I wish you could have told me through, and I would have come with you in a heartbeat.
From what we found out you haven't been there for a while and I can't help wonder why the deception. But I am hardly one to talk.
I am so sorry Pup I haven't talked to you this Summer and the only letter before this was the one about staying in your relative's house. I can see now how that would seem to you if you did get that letter. With me not even thinking to ask how you are. In case you don't know about the Dementor attack I am afraid and sorry to be the one to tell you your cousin didn't survive.
I can see the Ministry is trying to shut you up. But it was obviously you weren't anywhere near the area when the attack and Patronus happened. If you can prove that the Ministry won't have a case against you.
I am not going to tell you to come here. As Albus had tried to track you earlier and the spell won't work so you are obviously somewhere that even You-Know-Who can't reach. Well I hope anyway.
But I ask you to please be careful and take care of yourself and if you need me I'll be at your side in a second. Please Pup keep in contact and try not to give me anymore heart attacks. Please.
But I believe you can make your own choices and I respect your judgement.
I love you Pup even if I have a shitty way of showing it.
- SB
PS: Be careful of Albus's letters
Harry had to snicker a bit at Sirius's letter. He was happy Sirius was going to let him make his own choices and trust him to do what is right.
"He gave you a good warning", Sam says with a nod.
"At least he has sense and respect for the fact your grown up and didn't tell you what to do", Steve tells Harry.
"It is. I probably will even try to reply to that one", Harry says with a grin.
He picks up Remus.
"This one can go one of two ways", he mutters.
Harry,
I don't understand why you left your relatives house or didn't at least tell Sirius or me about it. I don't know whether to be proud you managed to trick Albus and Alastor or afraid that you are currently somewhere out there that He-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named can find you.
Please Harry tell us where you are so we can either take you to where we are or place more wards around where you are to make sure HE can't find you.
Please Harry don't play games with your safety. That letter you left sounded like you were playing a game. And this is a dangerous time especially for you to play games.
Your my Cub Harry and I can't stand to see you in danger. Or hear about it and finding the Dursley House empty nearly caused be cardiac arrest.
Sirius is going out of his mind with worry. At least get in contact with us to let us know you are safe to stop him worrying. You know how he gets.
Please Harry I implore you to come home. At least let one of us be with you!
Hope to hear that you are safe soon.
- Remus Lupin
PS: Please Harry I am really worried.
Harry rolls his eyes this was half expected.
"What right does he have to demand anything after he never really contacted you", Tony growls, "If he had just done his job as Godfather maybe he would have been in your life after I have taken you as my Blood Adopted Son"
Harry knew his Dad had a point.
"I know Dad. He does have confidence issues. And Dumbledore was the only one besides Dad James that every stood by him", Harry replies with a disappointed sigh.
"Harry that IS the point. Lupin was James friend", Lilith points out.
"Fair point. But THIS family is what I want. And only if they get their heads out of Dumbledore's ass I might give them another shot. But Sirius might get his sooner", Harry tells them.
Having thought about Sirius's situation for a while. Plus Sirius would be a free man in his and Neville's Kingdoms.
"Hagrid's", Harry tells them.
Harry I heard yah have disappeared. I hope you are alright and please get in touch with Professor Dumbledore soon. Yeh don't want to get into trouble out there. With Dementors already after yah.
Can't wait to show you what I have planned for this year.
I hope you are well.
- Hagrid
PS: I'll be away at the start. Didn't want yah to worry.
"Well that was to be expected with Hagrid. But I know he cares. I hope my new rules to the Board and Ministry pass. So Hagrid will get what he deserves", Harry tells them.
He had plans for the next Wizengamot session. Just not under the Potter Seat.
He opens the next one from Mr Weasley. It was basically the same as Remus's. Imploring him to get in contact. And come to them for safety that only Dumbledore can provide.
"A bunch of bull crap", Harry mutters.
Harry takes the next one it smelled of potions. Lovely.
Harry Dear,
Please come back. You are being very reckless young man and you better come home right this second! Come home at once young man or your grounded!
You are making everyone worried and Ronnie, Ginny and Hermione are worried out of their minds! And so am I. Your my son and you need to come home. Your not even of age yet to be living alone!
I was VERY irresponsible of you to leave your relatives house! You could be killed!
Your parents would want you safe and with your family. And you can spend the rest of the holidays with the other kids.
I expect your owl with a location promptly.
- Mrs Weasley
Harry rolls his eyes and throws it on the table. He didn't have time to deal with her bullshit. And when he read Ron, Hermione and Ginny's they were just as bad. But with Hermione telling him to following the Professor Dumbledore's orders and get in touch and she would see him in a few days.
Like he would follow her order! The nerve of her!
Ron's had the tone of moaning and complaining. But he tried not to make it seem that way. But Ron was never any good with any of that sort of stuff. He even bragged he was going to get the Prefect's badge.
'Not going to happen', Harry thinks.
Ginny's sounded like she was trying to seduce him by letter. And that didn't surprise him since her letter smelt like love potion. And it was revolting. His sense barely let him finish reading it.
Now was the big one Dumbledore's he had half a mind not even to read it. But he wanted to see the old mans manipulation written down.
Harry,
My dear boy what were you thinking leaving your relatives house? It is not safe you being out there alone.
You have everyone worried. Sirius can't handle this. You have your friends worried. Molly and Arthur are worried out of their minds for the child they have taken in the past few summers.
Not to mention everyone else.
If Voldemort finds you it won't be good for the Light Harry. Many will end up dead or worse. You need to come home where we can protect you.
The Dementors are proof enough of that. You left your cousin defenceless. You should at least come back to pay your respects for the boy you have grown up with.
Now you need to send us an owl with your location or Remus will be waiting at Hyde's park to bring you to Headquarters…
Dumbledore had gone on but Harry decided he had read enough. The old man was good but he was better. And he even signed it his usually ways like he had something to brag about.
"Was he serious?" Sam gaps.
"Trying to emotionally blackmail you?" Clint asks frowning.
Tony was growling. Bruce was trying to stay calm with Betty helping him. Bucky looked furious with Steve just as furious but trying to keep his partners calm. Stephen looked like he wanted to through Dumbledore into the Dark Dimension for a lesson. Rhodey didn't look the least bit happy about it. Carol's hands were glowing. Scott and Hope were muttering darkly.
His wives also all had dark looks. Natasha especially looked one step away from going all Black Widow on Dumbledore's ass.
"His manipulations are good…but…", Harry starts.
"But what?" many ask.
"I'm better"
