HARRY POTTER AND THE RED STRING OF LOVE

Chapter 1: A Chance Encounter and A New family

Pre-Hogwarts:

{…Amusement Park, Somewhere In London…}

It's been eight years since Voldemort was last seen, a young Harry Potter was at an amusement park since today was his cousin Dudley's 9th birthday. Harry was walking around the park alone as other patrons looked at him since he looked like a common vagabond. He wore jeans three times bigger then his size along with a plain gray tee-shirt. His sneakers was bound with duct-tape and he wore thick glasses and had tape in the middle since they were broke many times from his cousin Dudley. Harry had wild black hair and bright emerald-green eyes. He even had a lightning bolt scar which he thought in his opinion was the coolest thing about himself. Harry kept quiet for over the years and he kept his head down since his aunt and uncle, Petunia and Vernon Dursley didn't like the boy. They never got him anything for his birthday or Christmas. They used him as their personal slave doing all the cooking and cleaning all the while doting onto their own son.

If Harry didn't do what he was ordered his uncle Vernon would beat him causing broken bones, bruises, cuts, scrapes and scratches before being knocked out. Harry would wake up in the broom closet underneath the stairs in Little Whinging, Surrey. Harry's aunt never helped Harry when these beatings happened and she just smirked while watching. Even his cousin joined in and it was a delight for the fat pig to do. He even laughed all the while kicking Harry in his ribs. Harry's luck about getting beaten was not even kept inside his house. Dudley's favorite game to play with his friends Piers Polkiss, Gordon Shaw, Dennis Walsh, Gordon Adams along with about fifthteen others was Harry Hunting during the school hours. Harry was lucky he became fast over the years and could out run most to all of Dudley's gang. Several kids in his year once tried to make friends with him, but if they did then Dudley and his gang would beat them up too, or threaten them. So all the kids stayed away from Harry like he had a fatal illness because they didn't want to get beaten up. There were times when he was caught and then the beating would start. Why the bullying in school against Harry was because Vernon and Dudley paid off his son's friends. The teachers did try and help Harry, but when they confronted Petunia she just pulled Harry from the school and another round of beatings came the following evening when she told Vernon that he made their diddy-dums look like he was a bully. The only thing Harry liked in his life was his lightening bolt scar.

Harry didn't care what the other park goers thought of him when it came to his appearance. How Harry was at an amusement park was quite easy to explain. Vernon Dursley's sister Marjorie was out of town for a bulldog competition, Miss. Figg had a broken leg and the other people who were paid to watch Harry while the Dursley's were out were also gone, hence why Harry was walking around the amusement park all alone with only one pence in his baggy pocket. He walked past many rides watching as many family's were enjoying themselves. He sat on a bench across from several food stalls as he continued to watch the park goers. He watched a young family from a distance and he noticed that there were four of them and they looked very wealthy. Three of the four had blonde-hair, the older woman had a nice figure and had a gentle face. The man Harry noticed looked like some type of bodybuilder and could put his uncle Vernon to shame, and that wasn't hard to do since his uncle looked like a fat walrus to begin with. Harry looked at the older woman again who was currently cutting up a hamburger for the youngest blonde girl and she too could put his ostrich of his aunt to shame. He wondered what his life would have been like living in a family that he was watching.

Harry's stomach growled louder and he held his stomach not wanting to disrupt any of the park goers. He bent over trying to suppress the growing pain. However this caused the wealthy family to look in his direction without him realizing it. Harry never stole anything in his life but his stomach was making him think of doing the impossible. The older blonde around Harry's age walked up to Harry and tapped him on the shoulder causing Harry to look up. He noticed the blonde he was watching had bright blue eyes and looked very pretty. "Excuse me, but are you hungry?" Said the beautiful blonde while Harry stared into the beautiful sapphire-blue eyes not able to say a word. Harry was very quiet and hardly spoke since he was always beaten for a simple question. The young girl spoke again looking at Harry. "Can't you answer, I asked if you were hungry." She asked and Harry nodded slowly still keeping quiet. He shook his head causing the young blonde to smile. She grabbed Harry by the hand dragging him to his feet and over to the table where her parents were sitting. Harry stayed quiet as the older woman looked at him while his stomach growled and she giggled. She spoke looking at Harry with a loving smile. "Sounds like you need some food, Please come and sit young man." She told him and Harry did as he was told to do without question. The older blonde woman handed Harry a menu which had several food items on it from the different venders. She smiled at him before she spoke once again. "Go ahead young man, you can pick anything you want. Don't worry it is on us young man." The older blonde woman said with a smile.

Harry nodded staying quiet not saying a word. He looked over the menu and pointed to the cheapest thing on the menu, which was a small vanilla ice-cream cone at £1.47. The elder blonde woman looked at the menu upside down and she shook her head before she spoke looking at Harry. "You can have more then just a small vanilla ice-cream cone you know. It will be alright if you eat, you really do look like you could use the food." She said and Harry shook his head not wanting to feel like a pig eating a lot of food. The older blonde woman didn't like it when Harry shook his head and she ordered a hamburger with large fries and a soda along with the small ice-cream. The order soon came to the table and she slid it in front of Harry as she spoke. "Eat." She said sounding like it was an order. Harry shook looking in fear and this shocked the family he sat with. They all looked at each other before the father spoke. "Hey it's okay, we didn't mean to scare you. You can eat without fear young man." He told him and Harry took a small bite of the hamburger out of pure hunger. The young blonde girl who drug him over to her family spoke looking at Harry. "I'm Daphne Greengrass, this is my baby sister Astoria. These are my parentsAstoria and Martin Greengrass. I am so sorry that I just drug you over here, but your stomach was growling and I don't like people seeing who haven't eaten." She told him and Harry nodded. Daphne continued to speak while Harry ate. "Do you have a name?" She inquired and Harry nodded again. He set his hamburger down and wiped his face with a napkin before he quietly replied. "Nice to meet you. Thank you for the hamburger. I'm Harry Potter." He told them and they all looked in shock.

Harry saw the way all the Greengrass's looked when he mentioned his name and he spoke looking like he said something wrong. "I'm sorry, I am not to tell anyone my name. I am just boy or you can call me slave if you want." He said and this caused the elder Greengrass's to look at him. It was Astoria who reached out to place her hand on top of Harry's, but he quickly flinched moving his hand off the table. This shocked the Greengrass's even further. Astoria looked to her husband before looking back at Harry speaking a bit worried. "Um Harry, is it alright if I ask a few questions." She requested and Harry nodded before he replied. "Um, I guess so, but why?" He answered. It was Martin Greengrass who soon spoke. "Um, please Harry this is important." He told him and Harry nodded once again. Astoria looked at Harry before she spoke. "Um, Harry. do you know of your parents?" She asked and all the Greengrass's watched as Harry bowed his head. He shook his head as he replied. "No, I asked my aunt and uncle once, but I got beat. All they said was that my dad and mom were drunks and they died in a car crash which I was in, giving me the scar." He answered causing Astoria to turn and look at her husband Martin with shock and sadness. He nodded before he spoke. "Um, Harry please excuse me for a moment. I need to make a phone call. Please sit and enjoy some time with my daughters and wife." He told him as he got up from the table vanishing into the crowd. Astoria turned to Harry before speaking once again. "Harry your home, you said that if you ask a question you get beat. Are they feeding you, do you have a bedroom, or clothes." She asked causing Harry to shake his head with all the questions.

Martin Greengrass soon reappeared looking at his wife before turning to his eldest daughter speaking opening his wallet. "Um Daphne why don't you take Harry here and go enjoy some rides and games. Here is some money for all of you to go and enjoy yourselves." He said a bit angry and this scared Harry. He spoke looking at Martin. "I am sorry if I said something wrong Mr. Greengrass. I should get going. I don't want to upset my master and uncle." He said standing up. Martin looked at Harry shaking his head letting out a sigh. It took all of his mental strength not to loose his temper at Harry's aunt and uncle. He pinched the bridge of his nose closing his eyes as he replied. "No young man, you said nothing wrong. Can you do me a favor, would you please go with Daphne and have some fun. Mrs. Greengrass and I just need to talk a bit more privately, and I don't think good kids like you should be around adult talks." He said and Daphne smiled taking Harry by the hand. Little Astoria looked to her mother and she nodded as Daphne started to drug Harry away from the table. This caused her to yell at her daughter. "Daphne, you watch over Astoria for me, and god for bid stay out of trouble." She told her and Daphne yelled back. "I know mom, we'll be safe." She answered with her back turned.

Astoria sat down in her seat and she wanted to cry. It was of no use however as she looked up at her husband as she spoke. "Martin, that was Harry fucking Potter. What in the hell should we do. Lilly and James would be appalled at the state of their son. The kid is so quiet and he is so afraid. Did you see the way the boy looked? I am so scared for the boy. I can't believe his own family can do that to a boy like him, what are we to do." She asked as even more tears came down her face. Martin sat down next to his wife and held her hand as he replied. "Astoria dear, I contacted the head of the DLME, Amelia Bones. She wants us to keep an eye on Harry to see if we can spot anything wrong with the boy besides the obvious that we know so far. I have Nilley quietly watching over the kids." He told her. Astoria nodded before she spoke once again. "Should we tell Harry about his parents and that we were friends. I mean James and Lilly were friends with the goblin nation. You know Lilly was a bit different then the normal witch, I mean she was the last queen to all the succubus, and Harry is a incubi. He knows nothing of our world, why hasn't he been told about our world or his parents. The boy is the last of the Potter's and he is a king if you really want to get down to the heart of the matter. If his queen finds out then shit will hit the fan with the Grangers. You know their temper and another thing, after all this time on a day like today what are the chances of us running into the most famous boy who ever lived from our world being in a place like this." She said in a whisper as several park goers were walking past.

Martin tapped his wife on the hand before wiping her tears away with his thumb. He softly smiled before he spoke. "I know, I know honey. I understand your worries and fears. It is sad to see Harry the way he is now. It might have to come to that Astoria dear. I don't like what I heard hence the phone call to Amelia. We have to watch the boy without saying to much to him right now." He told her. Astoria and Martin Greengrass didn't know how long they were talking when a house-elf wearing a suit popped up speaking. "Excuse me master and mistress, but children are in trouble. Fat man and ostrich looking lady is hurting them over at rollercoaster." The house elf said before disappearing. Martin and Astoria got up from their seats and ran to where their house-elf said that their kids would be. It took both of the elder Greengrass's a good ten minutes to get to where their children were at. Martin and Astoria saw a crowd of people standing around with their cellphones, they had to push through the crowd. What they saw was sheer horror. A fat man four times bigger than the boy they came across and fed had Harry Potter in his right hand off the ground. His face was filled with rage as he squeezed Harry by his throat causing Harry to turn blue. Daphne was trying to bite the walrus's arm but it was no use. Martin saw that the young boy had a cut lip and was bleeding. He ran up and yanked the fat man's hand away from Harry's throat before he said anything while Harry's body crumpled to the ground. "What the fuck do you think you're doing, he is just a boy. What did he ever do to you."

Another park goer spoke from behind Martin. "You should be in jail, that is child abuse." The fat man huffed before he spoke. "I don't care about the boy, he is a strange one anyways. If you want him then take him." He said and then turned to the thin woman continuing to speak. "Come Petunia, we need to get our proper son and go home." He said to her and with a nod they left vanishing into the crowd. The elder Greengrass knelt down to make sure the boy was breathing and she quickly realized he wasn't. Astoria spoke while starting what everyone knew was CPR. "Call the paramedics…. The boy isn't breathing…" She said and someone in the crowd heard her plea as she was doing CPR speaking to Harry. "Come on Harry, breathe damn it, breathe." Martin looked to both his daughters and Daphne spoke while little Astoria was in tears. A flood of paramedics came running over after five minutes while Daphne was telling her father the entire story of what happened. One of the paramedics looked at the elder Greengrass speaking. "We got him ma'am. You did good on saving his life. Are you his family or guardian." The paramedic asked.

Astoria shook her head as she spoke. "No on both. This boy was hungry, so we made sure he got something to eat. We don't know much about the boy, but his name is Harry Potter. I was one of his mother's best friends and her brides maid when his parents married. They unfortunately both passed away eight years ago leaving their son all alone in this unforgiving world. I don't know who his guardians are, I am sorry but that is all I know." She answered and the paramedic nodded just as two police officers showed up. The paramedics picked up Harry placing him on a gurney. The same paramedic spoke looking at Astoria. "Well thank you ma'am, we'll be taking him to the closest children's hospital from here. Since you know of his parents could I interest you in coming with us. I think it would be a lot better if a doctor could listen to your story." The paramedic said and Astoria looked at her husband who was talking with several police officers. She nodded to the paramedic before walking over to him. She kissed his cheek before speaking. "I'm going with the boy to the hospital. I'll meet you there honey." She said and Daphne looked up to her mother speaking. "Momma, I want to come too. Harry is a nice boy and he could use a friend when he wakes up." She said in a determined tone of voice.

Astoria was going to shake her head and tell her daughter no, but a female paramedic came over after hearing what she said. Kneeling down to meet Daphne in her eyes she smiled before speaking. "I think you can come young lady. Good friends should be there for each other. I think he'll want to see a smiling face when he wakes up." She told her causing Astoria to sigh. She reluctantly nodded before looking at her husband. Martin nodded before he spoke. "I'll be there as fast as I can dear. Make sure that he is not treated until I get there." He told her. Astoria nodded before leaving with Daphne and the paramedics while Harry was on the gurney. Once they loaded Harry into the ambulance they all set off to the nearest children's hospital. The woman paramedic placed a funny looking device on Harry's right index finger before speaking into another funny looking device close to her left shoulder. "In coming male child, about eight years old, unconscious. About 57 pounds but from the looks maybe less. height is approximately 120cm., Systolic rate normal at 93-113, and Diastolic is 60-75. Heart beat normal at 110 beats per minute. I.V. given in right arm. CPR was given on site and patient is breathing but is a bit shallow.. Cut on the bottom lip and blood from the nose. Finger prints around the neck with some bruising, friends are with the child, story will be needed for report, ETA 17 minutes inbound, please advise." She said and then turned to look at Daphne who looked puzzled.

She smiled as a steady beep, beep, beep of the funny machine was going off. The paramedic spoke looking at Daphne. "Is this your first time in an ambulance." She asked causing Daphne to quietly nod as they sped to the nearest children's hospital. The paramedic smile and begun to explain everything around the ambulance to Daphne as to keep her mind off of her friend. The funny device came crackling to life and Daphne heard a voice come from it. "Station 856, that is confirmed. Eight year old male, 120cm. Systolic rate 93-113, Diastolic is 60-75. Heart beat 110 beats per minute. I.V. given in right arm. CPR was given on site and patients breathing is shallow, Trauma Team One will be waiting, ETA 17 minutes, bay one." The voice said. The paramedic wrote down some notes as the siren blared and cars moved out of the way as they rushed to the hospital. Daphne soon found herself and her mother walking in with Harry and the paramedics though some sliding glass doors. A team of doctors and nurses came running over to Harry.

Harry on the other hand was fading in and out of consciousness. He swore he heard someone speaking. "Get some oxygen here state. Get x-rays on the boy and full blood work. I want to know what we're dealing with here people." The voice said. Harry soon opened his eyes slightly as a voice was heard. "Mrs. Greengrass. I don't know if I should be telling you this since your not the boy's parent or guardian, but it seems like you were close to his parents. The boy will need multiple surgeries to fix his vocal cords. His right clavicle is broken and will need to be repaired. Honestly I am surprised to see the boy even alive with all the broken bones his x-ray has shown us. Since you're the one person who came in with the boy then I can allow you to speak about any treatment he may need." The doctor said and Astoria nodded. She folded her arms before looking at Harry and then turned to the doctor speaking. "Thank you doctor, How long can we hold off on these surgeries." She asked, and the doctor soon replied. "We can hold off on the surgeries for at least 48 hours, any longer than that, then there will be a higher risk of the boy never being able to talk for the rest of his life the more we hold off." The doctor told her seriously.

Astoria soon spoke looking at the doctor. "Please give me a bit to speak with my husband first before you do anything. I think a few others that I know from a micro nation who this boy belongs too would like to be involved as well. I should have word within a few hours on what to do, if that is agreeable." She said and the doctor looked a bit taken back. He eventually nodded as he replied. "I understand Mrs. Greengrass, but do hurry." He said as a nurse came walking in. Daphne was sitting next to Harry's bed as she spoke. "I want to stay with Harry momma. I don't want to leave his side." She said not looking at her mother. The nurse who was writing on a clip board smiled at Daphne before looking at Astoria. "Your daughter will be in the best care here if you need to leave for a few hours ma'am." She told her and Astoria looked at her daughter. She walked over to her and brushed some of Harry's black hair out of his face before she spoke. "Daphne, you may stay with Harry, but I want you to not leave this room for any reason. This is the muggle world and is very dangerous place. Your father and sister will be here shortly so you be a good girl while I go speak with someone. I shouldn't be more then a few hours." She told her seriously as the doctor and nurse looked at each other wondering what a muggle was. Daphne nodded as she answered her mother. "I will momma, if I need anything then I will call for Nilley." She replied and Astoria kissed the top of her daughter's head. Astoria left Harry's hospital room with the nurse and doctor. She was angry beyond belief even though she didn't show it. soon Astoria was out of the hospital with a business card which had the name, address and phone number on the front. On the back was a small map on how to get to the hospital. She walked several blocks away, once the coast was clear she vanished with a pop.

{…Gringotts Bank…}

Astoria Greengrass soon appeared and she was downright livid, and anyone who saw her knew it seeing sparks of electricity rolling off of her. A goblin gulped before approaching the irate witch. She looked at the goblin speaking coldly. "The Potter Account manager, Now!" She barked causing the little goblin to fall on his ass. Once the goblin stood up he motioned for a goblin runner to the Potter account manager's office. As the runner goblin was hurrying to the Potter's account office which happened to be the Director of Gringotts. The director himself was looking at a 3D photo of Lilly and James as tears slowly came down his face while speaking to himself. "Oh Lilly and James, I so wish you were here. You both were good friends to my nation and we all miss you. I don't know what happen with your son Harry, but when we find him, I promise we'll take care of him as he is our own child." He said and then a knock on the director's door caused him to quickly wipe his face before speaking once again. "Enter…" He said and his door opened. The goblin runner was out of breath and he waited long enough for the young goblin girl to catch it. She walked in closing the door behind her before speaking. "Director Taverx, please excuse the intrusion your greatness, but Lady Greengrass has asked to speak with you. She is livid and I think this is an emergency. You best come out and see her sir." The young goblin said and director Taverx stood up and quickly left with the goblin runner.

Once Director Taverx came out from the back of the bank he spotted a very livid Lady Greengrass. He was one to fear inside the goblin nation, but today he started to sweat seeing the witch in front of him. He motioned for several fully armed goblins to him before approaching the very pissed off witch. He knew that the Greengrass's were very polite to them when they came inside the bank, but not today. Something got Lady Greengrass's dander up and he chose to forgo the pleasantries as he spoke. "Lady Greengrass, please follow me and we'll talk once you control your magic." He said and Astoria didn't even nod. She followed director Taverx deeper inside the bank and into a room. This room was no ordinary room however. It was built to withstand any witch or wizard's magic when it exploded from anger. He stepped inside with Astoria and the doors were closed. Astoria's magic exploded causing electricity to break everything in the room. Director Taverx spoke after a few minutes seeing that Lady Greengrass's magic was now back under control. "Feeling better Lady Greengrass." He asked and Astoria nodded. She looked at the director before answering. "Yes thank you Director Taverx. I am sorry about not making an appointment, but something urgent has come up, it's Harry Potter." She said and this made Taverx to look at her with a more serious tone to his face. He spoke to her the same way. "Come with me to my office, I need to know what is going on first before I can help Lord Potter." He said and then left the room with Astoria.

After an hour of listening to Astoria Director Taverx was just as livid as she was. He stood up as he spoke. "Harry Potter is a friend of the goblin nation through his parents. I'll be damned if some muggle doctor lays one hair out of place on the boy. The Dursley's are now our top priority and they will pay for what they did. We're going to take Harry out of that hospital and get him the best treatment money can buy." He said and then walked out with Astoria. On the way he grabbed several heavily armed tall goblins who looked human before vanishing. Director Taverx, Astoria and the armed goblins soon appeared on the streets of the muggle world and this didn't go unnoticed by the people around them. They had no time to lose and made a quick bee-line straight to the hospital where Harry was at.

{…Children's Hospital…}

They entered the children's hospital and Taverx spoke to the welcoming nurse sitting at the desk. "Harry Potter's room now woman." He said and the nurse was taken back. She was going to speak but was quickly cut off as Taverx continued. "Where is king Harry Potter, I am in no mood to be lied too." He told her and this caused the nurse to flip through her chart. She spoke looking at Taverx. "Room 502 sir… Please don't hurt me, I am just a nurse." She said in fear. Director Taverx nodded before he replied. "Thank you, and you won't be. I apologize for the tone of my voice. I'll take my leave." He said and then left with his guards.

Astoria and Taverx with the armed goblins took the elevator to the fifth floor and when the doors opened the goblin guards swarmed the floor to make a sweep. This surprised many of the kids, nurses and doctors on the floor. They didn't know what was going on as Taverx walked up to the desk speaking. "The doctor in charge of Harry Potter, now…" He barked and the doctor who was behind the desk stood up replying. "That would be me sir. I don't mean to be rude, but your scaring the children." He said. Director Taverx folded his arms before he spoke. "The children will be alright now that the king's guards are here. You have the last king to my nation in your care and we're taking him home today. I don't want to hear any excuses or what ever you have to say. This is Lady Greengrass and her daughter is one queen. Now tell me what the fucking hell happened to my king." He ordered and this caused the doctor to sweat. The doctor showed Taverx and Astoria to a conference room and once the door was closed he begun the explanation of what he knew. It took over an hour for the doctor to explain everything before showing Taverx to Harry's room. Two armed guards entered while two stood outside on both sides of the door.

One of the children who was in a wheelchair rolled up to one of the guards before speaking innocently. "Hey mister, what is up with your clothes. I think they look cool." The child said and the goblin guard raised an eyebrow towards the child. Kneeling down to eye level he smiled before speaking. "Thank you young lady. I think there pretty cool too. They are made to protect us as we serve our king who is actually in this room." He said and this caused the girl's eyes to widen as she spoke with a smile. "Really, a real king is here. I never met anyone famous before." She said as a nurse walked up. She smiled before speaking. "Mary kiddo it's time for your treatment. Say goodbye to the nice man and we'll be off." The nurse said and the child nodded before saying goodbye. The girl wheeled herself ahead but the goblin guard held her nurse back by grabbing her arm. He looked at her before speaking. "I don't mean to pry, but what is wrong with the little girl." He asked, and the nurse bowed her head before answering the goblin guards question. "That's Mary, she is a sweet little girl, but her parents left her here since she has only about a few months to live. She has a very aggressive form of cancer that we have been trying to fight against, but nothing has worked. I just wish there was something that could be done to save her life. Her parents signed their rights over to the hospital and I have been looking after her like she was my own daughter. Mary deserves a better life then to live in a hospital." She said and this caused the goblin to almost cry.

He looked at the nurse before speaking once again. "Where I come from we never abandon our children. Little Mary is lucky to have you. Please let me speak with my king's advisor, maybe there is something we can do to save that little girl. she is so young to not live a full life." He said before disappearing into Harry's hospital room. It was no more than a few minutes before the goblin guard reappeared followed by Taverx. He looked at the nurse as Mary came rolling back up speaking. "Ms. Sarah I can't miss those yucky treatments. I want to go home someday." She said as Taverx watched the little girl. The nurse knelt down and kissed the girl on the head before speaking. "I know Mary, we'll head there in a minute. You go ahead and get going. I'll catch up shortly." She said and the little girl turned around with a smile before wheeling away. The nurse sighed as a tear came down her face causing Taverx to speak. "You care for the girl." He asked and the nurse nodded not saying a word. Taverx rubbed his chin before continuing to speak. "I see, normally this is not allowed, but I'll make an exception this time. It is against our custom to allow outsiders into our country, but I can't let that little girl die. Once our king is stable in a few days, we'll come back and pick you and little Mary up. We might have a better treatment and with a bit of luck she can make a full recovery. How would you like to see her as your daughter and walking once again." Taverx asked not looking at the nurse, but to the little girl wheeling herself down the hall.

The nurse looked at him in surprise before replying. "Really, that would be a complete blessing to me, but for Mary the most. But why are you willing to put your country at risk." She asked and this time Taverx turned to look at the nurse before looking at Harry laying in the bed while he spoke. "You see that boy laying there. That was a prince before his parents were murdered. He is now king of the country we come from. The late king and queen would be rolling in their graves if I didn't follow their example. They were the most caring people I knew and they would always helped the people out around them when ever they could. I think it's high time I did the same thing as a way to remember them. Just have the papers ready by next week and I'll come by personally to pick both of you up. Now I can't promise anything yet, but I swear that we'll do our best for the little girl, just don't say anything to her until then." Taverx said and the nurse almost started to ball like a baby.

The nurse spoke looking at Taverx. "I promise that I won't say anything to her until next week. You don't know how much this would mean to her and to me. I don't know how to thank you." She said and Taverx shook his head. He grinned a bit before he replied. "The only thanks that should be given is to the Potter's. This is just who they were as king and queen. But honestly they wouldn't need any thanks, and nor do I. This is just how we value children. I must be heading back to my king and you have one little girl to look after." He answered and the nurse smiled before saying goodbye and catching up to Mary. Taverx walked back into Harry's hospital room just as he slowly opened his eyes before passing out again. As the adults were talking Daphne and Astoria Jr. were sitting by Harry's bedside and Daphne was holding onto Harry's hand. The machine Harry was hooked up to started to make faster beeping noises causing Daphne and Astoria to look to their parents and Taverx. Even the adults looked a bit puzzled on what was going on. A nurse came rushing in and looked at Harry before turning to the two frightened girls. She raise the front of Harry's bed as she spoke. "He'll be alright. Mr. Potter has air trapped in his lungs. He is just having a panic attack." She told them and then pulled out a needle sticking it into his I.V. tube before pushing down its contents.

The machine went back to the normal beeping sound after a few minutes and the nurse smiled at the two girls as she spoke. "See, he's just fine." She told them before turning to the adults in the room continuing to speak. "Mr. Potter will be out for a while, what I gave him was a low dose sedative to help him sleep." Astoria the elder Greengrass looked at the nurse who was writing down something in Harry's chart and checked her watch as she spoke. "Does this happen often." She inquired. Once the nurse was done writing what ever it was down in Harry's chart she replied. "Usually no, however it is not uncommon either. When a child or any patient has a nightmare it could cause air to be trapped in the lungs, causing a panic attack. It feels like a heart attack, it can happen to adults as well during stressful times. I think Mr. Potter will have a lot of these in the future dealing with his trauma, so it's best you know now and prepare for it in the future. The best way to help the boy is to take it one day at a time and no quick movements. To much all at once could set this off again so if he has any family left, then a word of advice. Introduce them slowly and warn them about what I told you. If you all excuse me, I will have Mr. Potter's discharge papers ready for you in a few minutes." The nurse said just as a knock came on the door.

The door opened and in came a reddish-blonde haired woman wearing a black skirt that went past her knees with a white blouse and black pumps to match. She had a magnifier monocle lens with a hanging necklace sitting in the pocket of her blouse. With her were two men dressed in full black suits. The trio walked over to Taverx and the Greengrass's before the woman spoke. "Lord and Lady Greengrass, it is a pleasure to see you this afternoon. I have a few muggle cars ready to move the boy." She said and then looked to the bed where Harry was laying as she continued to speak. "I'll need to speak with the boy as soon as possible." She said and Taverx folded his arms speaking with a growl in his voice. "Your going to be waiting for a long time miss." He said causing the woman to look at him. She responded to the goblin. "It's Ms. not Miss. or Mrs.. I am the director of the DLME Ms. Amelia Bones. And you are sir." Inquired Amelia and Taverx nodded before he replied. "Pleasure Ms. Bones, I am Taverx the director of Gringotts bank and soul custodian of the Potter fortune and that of the Grangers." He told her taking the witch by surprise along with the two men who were with her.

Amelia walked up to Taverx giving him a proper bow and stuck out her hand speaking. "Director Taverx, it is an honor to meet you. I wish it was under better circumstances. Lord Greengrass has informed me about the boy and the only people who know of this are me and these two gentlemen right here for now. We are investigating child abuse and I'll need to speak with the boy." She said and Taverx took her hand shaking it as he replied. "It is my pleasure, as I stated before, You will have to wait a while. I think we have much to discuss and a big problem on our hands that is both of our concerns. I could send you an owl when Harry is stable enough to speak with you, is that acceptable." He inquired just as the doctor and nurse came walking back in. The doctor looked at the new comers and was going to speak but Taverx spoke first. "Doctor, this is detective Amelia Bones. She specializes in child abuse cases, and this is one of the biggest cases in her field." He told him while Harry was being unplugged from the machines he was connected too. The doctor nodded before he spoke. "I see, well thank you for coming since it would be a pain to have an officer come out and get statements. I'll have Mr. Potter's medical report ready for you in a few days. Your more then welcome to pick them up or I could mail them to you if you wish." He said and then looked at the Greengrass's continuing to speak. "Here is Mr. Potter's discharge papers. If you sign here, here and here he is free to go with you." Said the doctor. Astoria signed the papers as Martin picked up a sleeping Harry in his arms. They all left the room and out of the hospital before getting into one of three cars.

{…Gringotts Bank…}

On their way back to Gringotts bank Harry became very lucid as he slightly opened his eyes barely able to make out a man with a long nose, pointy teeth and pointy ears. He wasn't awake enough to even understand a single word any one was saying. All he knew was there were at least three other voices before passing out again. Several hours later an alarm was heard throughout Gringotts while Taverx was talking with the Greengrass's about what to do with Harry Potter. Taverx went running to the alarm with the Greengrass's following close behind him. What caused the alarm was that Harry woke up and was now being surrounded by goblin guards while a medi-goblin was trying to give him a potion. Astoria saw that Harry was shaking and looked frightened beyond all reasoning. She didn't need any instruction from Taverx since he pointed to the door where Harry was at. Her motherly instincts were in overdrive and she raced into the room before speaking. "Back off…" She said and the goblins looked at her making her to continue speaking. "Your scaring the boy. He doesn't know anything about this or our world. How would you like it if you woke up in a strange place and seeing someone or something different then you, how would you react.. so again Back Off." She said in an angry tone before slowly walking up to Harry. Every step she took she spoke in a calm motherly tone. "Harry it's going to be alright, your safe. Do you recognize me." She asked and Harry slowly nodded not saying a word. She soon was close enough to kneel down and open her arms. Harry did the only thing he could think of and that was to cling onto Astoria. She wrapped Harry into a hug as he started to cry while she spoke. "Its alright Harry, it's alright." She told him causing Harry to slowly calm down.

Once Harry was calmed down, Astoria let him go before speaking again. "Harry I know you want to scream out of fear, but you can't talk. Your vocal cords were crushed and you have several injuries. Do you understand so far." Astoria asked calmly and Harry nodded so she continued. "That's a boy, now these are goblins Harry, and they are not what you read in a book." She said and Harry made a motion like he wanted to write. The medi-goblin made a piece of parchment appear with a quill before handing it to Astoria and she in turn handed it to Harry. He started to write. "They are very scary. Are they going to fix me before they eat me?" Harry asked with a questioning look on his face as he handed Astoria the parchment. She read the parchment before she started to laugh. Once she stopped laughing she replied. "I know they look scary, and no they are not going to fix you before they eat you Harry." She told him. The medi-goblin tapped Astoria on the shoulder before whispering what was in the small bottle. Astoria nodded before speaking to Harry. "Harry this is a potion that will help you sleep. It won't taste pleasant, but it will help you not to feel any thing while they fix your body." She said and Harry motioned for the parchment once again. Astoria handed him back the parchment and Harry started to write. "I am scared, are you going to stay?" He asked, and Astoria looked at what he wrote.

Astoria smiled before she kissed the top of his head before speaking. "I won't be going nowhere Harry, and nether will my daughters Daphne and Astoria, even my husband Martin will stay. You may not see us while your healing but we'll be right at your side." She said and Harry smiled. Astoria smiled back before handing the potions bottle to him after uncorking it. Harry drank down the potion and he scrunched up his face and he knew that Mrs. Greengrass was right about the potion not being pleasant. Astoria helped him back into bed. As soon as Harry was sound asleep and everyone was out of Harry's room she rounded on the medi-goblin. "I don't know what the fuck your damage is, but if you do that ever again, I'll personally cut off your ears before you lose your head. This boy was beaten and had a very scary life, and you bring in goblin guards just for a potion. Use your head for once." She told the medi-goblin.

The medi-goblin soon replied. "Um I was just checking on the boy when he shot up out of bed. He started to panic and I was trying to give him a sleeping draught. He…" She said and Astoria rounded on the medi-goblin before she could finish speaking. "Yeah, and bringing in four heavily armed goblins to subdue a frightened 8 year old boy is really using your head there. That boy is scared enough as it is, what do you think would happen when you force stuff on a child. I will say this one more time. If you do that ever again, I'll personally cut off your ears before you lose your head." She said in an ordering tone of voice. Director Taverx growled at the medi-goblin before putting his two knutts worth in. "That boy is no ordinary child. He is Lilly and James Potter's only son and they were friends to the goblin nation and a personal friend to me and my mate. In extension Harry Potter has the same status. I should feed you to the dragons while your breathing, but Lady Greengrass's warning should work. I want a full report on the boy within the hour. Now get back to your duties before I change my mind. " He barked to the medi-goblin. The goblin gulped before bowing and quickly left to attend to her duties.

Astoria turned to Taverx before giving him a curtsy before speaking. "Director Taverx, I must apologize for the words I have used against your nation. I shouldn't have threatened that medi-goblin. No excuses from me, but it was my protective motherly instincts that kicked in." She said honestly and this made Taverx smile showing his teeth. He nodded before he answered. "Lady Greengrass there is no apology necessary, you showed great honor when you helped Harry and his parents would be pleased." He said and this caused Astoria to smile as well. She looked at her husband Martin and her littlest daughter, but Daphne was no where around. She spoke looking at her husband. "Martin, where is Daphne. I thought she was here with us." Astoria asked and Martin shook his head. Taverx happened to glance through a one way mirror before he spoke. "I think I have found your wayward little witch Lady Greengrass." He said as he jestered to the mirror. The elder Greengrass's walked over and saw through the mirror Daphne who was sound asleep in Harry's bed next to him and he had one arm around the girl.

Astoria had a red face from embarrassment and was going to speak but Taverx beat her to the punch. "I think your daughter may be in love with Harry, Lady Greengrass. Us goblins don't know why or even the how come, but every now and again people find the ones they were meant to be with at first sight. It's that old muggle saying, 'Love At First Sight.' I think this is a better way of putting it. 'The Red String Of Love.' Let's continue this talk in my office while those kids get some sleep. They had a very traumatic day and they could use it. Your daughter Daphne will be in very safe hands while she is with Harry." Said Taverx and the Greengrass's couldn't agree more. As they left the observation room, Astoria took one last look at Harry and her daughter before the door closed and she had a smile on her face.

{…Director Taverx Office…}

Taverx offered the Greengrass's a seat before he went and sat in his chair behind his desk. Pressing a button on a box he spoke gobbledygook into it. "Madera would you please come to my office and show little Astoria to the playroom while I speak to her parents." He said and then turned to the Greengrass's before speaking once again in English. "I just called for a goblin nanny who is a god sent with children. Here at Gringotts we have a playroom set up for our most valued clients with children. This is so the parents can do their banking with added safety in the knowledge that their children are being looked after and not getting lost. That being said Lord and Lady Greengrass, I think there is much we need to discuss as adults." Taverx said and a young goblin female walked in after knocking. She curtsied to the Director and the Greengrass's before speaking. "Director Taverx, you sent for me. I am here to take little Astoria to the playroom. If it is not to much trouble sir., may I get a time frame of when you will be done." She inquired. Taverx understood the goblin nanny's request and slightly bowed his head to her before replying. "I can not give you a time frame Madera. This is a bit of a delicate situation at the moment. I will ring you when we are done, so please pay close attention to little Astoria since the Greengrass's are my honored guests and are now friends to the goblin nation." He told her and this took the Greengrass's by complete surprise. They only knew of two people in the entire wizarding world to gain such an honor, and they were Lilly and James Potter.

Little Astoria looked at her parents and they gave her a nod before she left with the Goblin Nanny. Director Taverx soon spoke once the doors to his office was shut. "Lord and Lady Greengrass, I understand your surprised, but rest assure that this was not done lightly. Just today alone you saved one of our own, and then you continued to protect the one we are about to discuss. If that is not worthy enough to be called friends to the Goblin nation, then I'll eat every galleon in this bank. You both are true goblins at heart since we put more value on our children then the gold and jewels we have." He told them and then folded his fingers together setting his hands onto his desk sitting forward a bit. He stayed quiet for a bit so what he had said would get a chance to sink into the Greengrass's. Once Taverx saw that it had, he continued to speak. "As you both are aware Lilly and James Potter were friends to the goblin nation which gets passed down to their only son, Harry. Now they did leave wills that should have been read 24 hours after their murder, but doing an inquiry on where Harry was, the goblin nation couldn't interfere until today. It seems that the old coot Albus Dumbledore is playing with peoples lives like they are his personal toys. One prized toy is Harry Potter himself, and I can not sit still any longer on this action. Even though I changed the boy's nappies and spent time with the boy, and the Potter's as their friend and close enough to Harry being a grandfather to him, I can't rightfully see myself as his personal guardian as much as I would like to be. As the director of Gringotts and the main account manager to the vast wealth of the Potter fortune, I am going to make a request." He said and this made the Greengrass's sit up a bit straighter.

Astoria looked at Taverx as she replied. "Yes, what ever it is that you request Director Taverx, we'll do it as away to help the two closest friends we had." She said without a second thought. Taverx nodded with a goblin grin that would scare anyone. He soon spoke looking at the Greengrass's. "What I was going to request is that on paper you both become Harry's magical guardian, but I'll be the guardian behind the scenes. In doing so, I will a lot 1,000 galleons a month out of my personal account for his care such as food, clothing, toys, books anything you will need to raise him as your own. If the expenses are above that amount you can let me know and I'll increase the said amount to fit. This also gains Goblin wards around your house that are so strong not even Albus Dumbledore or Voldemort would be able to take them down. What I saw in Harry's room with your daughter Daphne is no mere accident, she really has fallen for him. I can do a few things dealing with those two and a few others I know of, so let me get to the nuts and bolts of my thought. What I would like to do is not separate Daphne from Harry during his recovery. I would like them to spend the days with us learning our way of life. This would include muggle stuff as well as how to defend each other. We also will be doing what the wizarding world teaches giving them a head start even before they enter Hogwarts in three years. Right now Harry is a scared little kitten around water and he may have this for the rest of his life, but if we can let the boy show no fear in large groups then it is a win for all." He told them.

Martin sat forward a bit before posing a question that ran through his head. "Director, I mean no disrespect, but what about Harry's godparents. Shouldn't they be the first to claim Harry before us." He asked and Taverx sighed sitting back in his chair. It took him a while before he spoke once again. "Alas, I wish that could be the case Lord Greengrass. Frank and Alice Longbottom along with Sirius Black and Remus Lupin are his godparents. Harry has a few other relatives being a Black from his grandmother Dorea Potter, but that would put a very frightened boy into the hands of a dark family such as the Malfoy's since their heir is also a black to some extent. Before Sirius's disappearance he named Harry the sole heir to the black family which entitles him to the name and fortune. There is no loopholes with this and no one that is a Black through marriages can touch the vault without Harry's say so. I fear that if word got out that he is the true heir to Black then the family's like the Malfoy's can swindle the money and any thing else the boy has. You two were listed as Harry's godparents at the last minute before Lilly and James's passing. Of course there are the Tonks's I could have turned to with this problem, but lucky for me you both were at the right place at the right time…." He said before pausing as a knock on his office door was heard.

Taverx looked at his doors before speaking. "Yes you may enter." He said and the medi-goblin who Astoria didn't really care for came walking in with some parchments. She curtsied before handing Taverx the parchments while speaking. "Director, here is the report on the boy. Your not going to like it and I assure you sir I am beyond livid myself. The boy has a horcrux in his head and he is now being treated by our curse-breakers, rune-specialists and anyone else who can get it out of the boy." She said causing Taverx to growl standing up. The medi-goblin knew better to not speak while Taverx was angry, but she had to finish speaking. "Sir, there is more that you need to know. The boy has magical blocks on him as well which are also being taken care of and are being traced back to their source. The mental damage to the boy is still unknown at this time. All his bones have been repaired and that of his vocal cords. He was given malnutrition, growth and muscle strengthening potions to help gain any weight he is missing for an 8 year old boy. It will be about two weeks before the boy can be fit enough to leave the recovery ward permanently. I do recommend that he gets outside and walking around once we are finished repairing the damages in three days. He will need to see a counselor for the traumatic emotional, mental and physical abuse he has suffered these past 8 years. I also recommend that the girl he is with stay with him at night. He went into a panic inducing nightmare while being treated, but the girl quickly calmed him down and they are both resting comfortably once again." She finished saying and Taverx really wanted to take some heads off their shoulders, but seeing the horrified looks coming from the Greengrass's all he could do is flop down in his chair with his head in his hands.

Taverx motioned for the medi-goblin to continue her report on Harry which she reluctantly did. "Sir. the magical blocks are on the boys magic, reading, and once they are undone I think he will be off the magical measurer scale. The horcrux in his head I am sad to say will leave a new ability and that is being a parselmouth along with remembering some of what happened the night that his parents were murdered…." She told Taverx and by this point Astoria spoke cutting off the medi-goblin. "So you can't do anything to let the boy speak in parseltongue, that just great. The boy has enough trouble as it is and now he'll have an ability that he never asked for. What the fucking good are you." She said angerly and a bit of fear. Astoria took a deep breath before she continued to speak. "Please tell us some good news besides the obvious." She requested pinching the bridge of her nose. Taverx looked at the medi-goblin as he spoke. "You will have to forgive Lady Greengrass's temper. She is going to be Harry's guardian within the next hour. So I do hope you understand where her anger and concerns are." He said and the medi-goblin gave a curt nod before answering. "I do sir." She told him before facing Astoria continuing to speak. "Honestly, Lady Greengrass I don't like this as much as you do. If the boy was sent to us on the night of his parents murder then he wouldn't have this ability. The good news besides the obvious of a full recovery is that we found a magical signature. He is a metamorphmagus which is quite rare." She told her

Martin shook his head while crossing his arms and legs before speaking. "That's a really good mix, and here I thought gaining a son who is an incubi that will seduce my oldest daughter or my youngest, or possibly both would be a hand full. Now he is a metamorphmagus as well. Okay so when should we be a bit more cautious around the boy. I don't want to treat him any differently, but something has to be done until the right ages of consent." He stated and Taverx nodded to Lord Greengrass's statement. He opened his desk drawer on the right side before pulling out a box setting it on top of the desk speaking. "These were Lilly and James's armbands. They have my house design with their house crest, now they won't be able to suppress Harry's Incubi cravings when he is old enough to produce children around the age of 13, but they will help manage it to a select few witch's. Your daughter Daphne is one witch and the Granger's daughter is the other. How many other witch's will be connected to Harry is already known to the nation. Lilly caped it to four, but which four we have no clue and the only thing we know is no higher age range is 21. Anyone older then that will be a turn off." He said and the Greengrass's let out a sigh. The medi-goblin looked at Director Taverx continuing to speak. "Sir., once the horcrux is removed from the boys head we'll destroy most of it, but we're going to air on the side of caution and use a small portion to see if there are others like this. It will be a long process but from a rough guess it should take no more than the boys fourth year in Hogwarts if there is any to be found." She told him and Taverx gave a sharp nod.

The medi-goblin bowed before taking her leave and Taverx looked at the Greengrass's before speaking. "I trust that you both know this will be kept a secret for now, because if word got out now then there will be panic from both sides of the galleon." He said and both the Greengrass's nodded letting Director Taverx to continue to speak. "8 years ago, when Voldemort killed Lilly and James we already suspected he made more then one horcrux. The succubus blood of Lilly was just one part of his disappearance. It was Harry himself who finished the job, however Voldemort is not gone. He is a shadow of his former self. He will come back, and this time we'll get rid of the demon for good. Everything is riding on seeing if there are others like what was in Harry's head and Harry himself. I am trying to keep my temper in check because of this new development about the horcrux's. I'll leave Harry's care in your hands, that is if you still want him." Taverx asked a bit questionably. Astoria stood up from her seat as she spoke. "Of course we still want to take care of Harry. Daphne will be really hurt if we don't, besides the Greengrass's and the Potter's have been friends and allies for centuries." She said in an almost demanding tone. Taverx nodded with a toothy smile as he opened a drawer on the left side of his desk pulling out several pieces of parchment before speaking. "Here are all the forms that you will need to sign and the copies will go to the ministry through The Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures. By the time someone catches this it will be too late to do anything about it. Now while you both sign the documents, let me fill you both in on some history of Harry, Voldemort and Dumbledore." Taverx told them…

{…Three Days Later… Inside The Goblin Medical Center…}

Harry was sitting on his bed not needing his old glasses anymore and his lightning bolt scar that he had was bandaged up while it healed properly. Daphne Greengrass never left his side and the goblins who were treating him were still a bit frightening when they came in to check on him or moved to fast, which sent him into a panic attack for a few minutes since he thought they were going to hurt him. Daphne always calmed him down and he was grateful for her and her new friendship. Today however Harry was going to meet some people who knew him as a baby, at least that is what Daphne told him as she came walking into the room. Harry was sitting Indian style facing Daphne telling her all about his life with the Dursley's. Unknown to Harry however Director Taverx, his mate Alsea and the head of the DLME Amelia Bones along with the Greengrass's were listening in via the two way mirror. Amelia was scribbling down notes as quickly as Harry could talk. The more he spoke the more notes were taken and the angrier everyone got.

Director Taverx used a tempest to get the time and when he realized it was time to introduce himself and his mate to Harry, he just hoped for the best. Alsea brought two items that were very special to her even though they looked ordinary to everyone else. Even Director Taverx brought something along to help the talk with Harry. They left the group and knocked on Harry's door gaining his attention. "Come in…" He said and both Taverx along with Alsea walked in. Harry immediately froze before jumping out of his bed hiding under it with a blanket. Daphne realized that Harry was still scared of the goblins and was going to say something but Taverx just smiled holding his hand up before she could say anything. He gave her a wink before walking over and sitting down on the floor before speaking. "Well I guess that Harry isn't here, oh well, I'll just sit here and say hi to Lilly and James myself then." He said to no one. He pulled a crystal pyramid looking device out of his vest pocket before setting it on the ground and touching the center.

Taverx started to talk to the two images that were floating there in front of him. "Hi Lilly, hi James. I sure miss you." He said before glancing to his right and a small smile came across his face. Harry was aww struck seeing the two people before he spoke. "Is, is that my mom and dad?" He asked curiously. Taverx wasn't looking at Harry as he replied. "Yes they are Harry, and they were my closest friends. Why don't you come out from under the bed and say hello, and we can talk." Taverx requested trying to coax Harry to move. Harry eyed Taverx before speaking. "Your not going to eat me are you?" He asked and Taverx glanced down at Harry who had his head out from underneath the bed, but still had the blanket. He gave the warmest smile he could before he answered. "Eat a wizard like you Harry, oh no. your to stringy for my teeth." He replied in a joking manner. Taverx saw Harry slide back underneath the bed and knew he made a mistake. Alsea shook her head before walking over and knelt down looking under the bed as she went for a different approach. She smiled at Harry before she spoke. "Hello Harry, I'm Alsea, I was a friend to your mom and dad. I have something for you, but if you want to see it, then you have to come out from underneath the bed." She told him and Harry scooted a bit further back. Alsea knew how frightened Harry was after 8 years of abuse so she took her time and gave him his space.

It took about five minutes before Alsea spoke once again. "Harry I promise we don't eat witches and wizards or any humans. I know your friend Daphne would want you to come out and see what I brought." She said warmly. Harry pondered for a few more minutes before speaking. "You promise." He asked and this caused Alsea to smile as she replied. "I promise Harry, we won't eat you. we may look scary, but we're very kind. So why don't you come out and see what we brought and we'll introduce ourselves." She told him. Harry slowly came out from under the bed with his blanket and Daphne took ahold of his hand while speaking. "It will be alright Harry, I am right here and I'll let nothing bad happen to you." She told him reassuringly. Harry climbed back up onto his bed before Alsea spoke once again. "Is it alright if I sit next to you Harry." She asked and he had to look at Daphne since he was nerves and still a bit scared. With a reassuring smile from Daphne Harry scooted over and Alsea sat down on his right side.

Alsea smiled as Taverx stood up and picked up the crystal. She looked at Harry before speaking. "Harry this is Taverx my mate and the director of Gringotts bank. I am Alsea his mate as I told you. If it helps think of us as, oh I don't know really…" She said and Daphne spoke as something just clicked in her head. "Harry think of them as a king and queen. They run the entire goblin nation which is Gringotts Bank." She told him and this got Alsea to giggle as she also spoke. "Well, I guess that one way to see us. Any away Harry, this was yours when you were first born." She said handing him a blanket and a silver rattle with a dragon on it. His eyes widened as she continued speaking. "Your mom and dad were very good friends to the goblin nation and when you came along we were thrilled. Your mom gave birth to you in this very medical center not just a few rooms down from where we are. I made that blanket just for you and Taverx here bought you this rattle." She said as Taverx nodded before he spoke. "Yep sure did, and I even changed your nappy's too." He told Harry who looked stunned while going a bit red in the face.

Taverx handed Harry the crystal of his parents as he spoke. "Harry I think you should have this. It really is your parents, and if you just touch the center of the pyramid the pictures will change. There are a lot of pictures in it for you and they were all from your parents friends like the Greengrass's." He said and this perked Harry up causing him to speak. "Mrs. Greengrass is here, where is she… I…" He said causing Taverx to raise a hand with a booming laugh before speaking. "Wooh, slow down there tiger, Lady Greengrass is here with Lord Greengrass and a few others. Actually for the past three days we all have been watching you though that two way mirror." He told him pointing to the mirror on the wall. Harry bowed his head and this caused Taverx to speak so there was no misunderstandings. "Harry, you were hurt really bad and this is a special room for children just like you. We're not trying to hurt you or embarrass you. It is just so we can keep a closer eye on you while your healing. As your parents were friends to us that means it is passed to you as well. That is why you're here, and from what your medi-goblin told me you can leave for a few hours. would you like to see the goblin nation? I know this is a lot to take in, so I don't want to push you too much. It's alright if you don't want too right now." Taverx said and Harry nodded with a smile. It took Harry a complete minute before he could speak. "Really, I can leave and see the goblin nation, but what about Daphne can she come too." He asked.

Alsea giggled a bit before she spoke. "I don't see any problem with that Harry, she can come too. As a matter of fact I think the Greengrass family can join us, but you won't be going outside in just your hospital gown. We'll send a goblin in with some clothes that should fit is that alright?" She asked and Harry looked at Daphne before turning back to Alsea speaking. "Only if Daphne stays with me ma'am. I am still a bit scared and she helps to take it away." He told her making Daphne blush. Alsea nodded before she answered. "That's alright Harry, if it makes you feel safer then Daphne can stay. I just ask one thing when we go out." She requested and Harry looked at her making her continue to speak. "While we are outside, I want you to tell us when your uncomfortable and we'll bring you right back here. We don't want to push you any further then your comfortable with, do you think you can do that for me." She asked. Harry nodded as causing Alsea to smile before speaking once again. "Good boy. Now Taverx and I will leave for just a little bit while you get dress and we'll see you soon. A really nice goblin guard will pick you up and bring you right into Taverx's office." She told him and once again Harry nodded.

Taverx and Alsea stood up and left the room. Once outside Harry door they both sighed and Taverx spoke after a minute. "He has a long road of recovery ahead of him." He said and Alsea couldn't agree more after watching Harry closely. She folded her arms before speaking. "I would love to have that bitch Dursley's head mounted on my wall for doing those horrible things to at child. Once he gets over his fear a bit, he's a wonderful and happy little boy. I can't believe how some muggles can just beat a child just because they are different. What are you going to do about the Dursley's dear, I hope nothing too evil." She said with a smirk. Taverx nodded as they started to walk while speaking. "Oh, let's just say they will wish they never harmed that boy. After Director Bones get through with helping Harry, it's our turn. I say let's give them a week or two." He told her as his eyes looked like they were on fire.

{…Outside In The Goblin Nation…}

A few goblins came in ten minutes after Director Taverx and his mate Alsea left and they were warned about how scared Harry was so they approached with a bit of caution. They had several sets of clothes with them and they laid them out on the bed before stepping back. Harry got to choose what he liked. Some were fairly big as far as clothes went, but with a little goblin magic they fit to his size perfectly. Thirty minutes later Harry was in his room with Daphne dressed and ready to go outside for the first time in his life without having to worry about working. Of course he brought his baby blanket with him and Daphne pointed out that he didn't really need to bring it. Harry nodded and he told her that if this was the blanket his mother held him in then it would make him feel somewhat more comfortable. Daphne could see where he was coming from and thought that if the baby blanket helped control his fear then who was she to argue.

A knock soon came on Harry's door and a tall well built goblin wearing normal clothes and a sword on his hip walked in. He stood at the door as he spoke. "Hello Harry, I promise I won't come any closer unless you want me too. I'm guard captain Dralx, I here your going outside today with the director and his mate, I bet your pretty excited." He said in a very pleasant tone. Harry nodded before he spoke. "Your tall for a goblin, I think you're a goblin, are you. I mean the ones I met so far are pretty small." He said and Daphne slapped a hand to her face out of embarrassment. The goblin let out a booming laugh before he replied. "Yeah I'm pretty tall Harry. There are many different sizes of goblins in the nation. Tall ones, short ones, medium ones, fat ones and skinny ones just like your different too. I understand there is a lot you don't know about us and our world, but you'll get the hang of it in time. And if you ever need an ear to bite then I'll be more then willing to listen." He said and Harry had to look to Daphne for a bit of help. She spoke simply. "He means is Harry, that if your need someone to listen to your problems. He'll be here when you need him." She told him and Harry got the meaning.

Dralx walked both Harry and Daphne to the director's office. Harry was introduced to Amelia Bones and he was told she was the head of the DLME. Astoria gave Harry a motherly hug before she said that Amelia was a special type of police officer, and she was working on his case against his aunt and uncle. She noticed that he shook a bit and offered him a chance to calm down when she mentioned that she was here as an observer, which he was okay with. Soon Harry found himself in a different world. In front of him was an entire goblin city filled with many new things. Harry didn't know were to look first as Taverx spoke. "Okay Harry, now you know the rule, right." He asked and Harry nodded before he answered. "Yes sir, if I get to stressed then I am to let you know." He replied gaining a nodding smile from Alsea and Astoria Greengrass. Taverx smiled before he spoke once again. "That's correct Harry, now what would you like to see first." He asked and Harry shrugged his shoulders. He spoke as he had his eyes glued to everything around him. "Honestly, I don't know. I was always left behind with someone. I only went out went there was no one to watch me, which was pretty rare. All I know is to cook and clean. I am sorry sir." He said bowing his head feeling ashamed. Astoria looked at the group before speaking. "I think we pushed a little bit to much for one day. Meeting the director and his mate along with everyone else is a bit over whelming for Harry. why don't we try again tomorrow." She inquired in a worried motherly tone.

Harry shook his head as he spoke. "No I don't want to go back yet. I can do this, I want to make my mom and dad proud of me." He stated taking everyone by surprise. Astoria turned to Harry before kneeling down to where her sapphire blue eyes met with Harry's emerald green. She spoke carefully to him. "Harry are you sure about this. you already have been through a lot today and no one here will think less of you if you want to go back to your room." She told him with a bit of worry in her voice. Harry replied looking at Astoria. "Mrs. Greengrass, as scared as I am, I need to do this. I have to do this if I am going to get better one day." He answered causing Astoria to give him a nod. She gave him a war hug as she spoke. "Okay Harry, but if I see you getting too scared we are taking you back on the spot. I will not take no for an answer, and just so you know, I think your mom and dad are really proud of you now." She said and then Taverx spoke looking at Harry. "It is just one step at a time Harry. We'll go as far as you want. Today is all about you because we all care." He said and this caused Harry to smile.

Everyone slowly made their way though the streets of the goblin nation watching Harry to see how he reacts to the things around him. A few goblins walked past Harry carrying a sword and an axe while speaking to each other in gobbledygook. "Tioxi, come on you know master sabretooth will have our heads if we're late."Said one of the goblins and they went into a run before disappearing around a corner. Harry spoke to Taverx still looking around and not at him directly. "Sir. I noticed that everyone is carrying shields, axes, hammers and swords. How come they are carrying them." He asked curiously. Taverx sighed before he spoke the truth to Harry. "Well Harry, the truth is that we are a warrior race. We live for battle and we love to gamble, it is like our sport. We're mostly bankers and deal with wizards gold vaults and other items. However we don't allow our females to be warriors or be bankers. We hold our females in such high reguard, that if any witch or wizard who starts yelling at one of our females they will lose their head." He told him and this caused Harry to freeze before holding his neck. He gulped and then spoke. "Ouch, that's scary. I'll try and remember to speak politely." He said causing everyone to start laughing seeing Harry's reaction. It was Alsea who was the first one to speak as Harry thought he said something wrong. "Harry you didn't say anything wrong. We all understand that this is new for you and it will take you a long time to get a grasp of speaking politely to a goblin." She said as they all continued to walk.

Taverx glanced at Harry and an idea came to him so he spoke his thought. "Harry, I have an idea, how would you like to see how our weapons are made, and see some real dragons. I think all boys like dragons I think." He suggested and Harry's eyes widened. He turned to Taverx before speaking. "Dragons, you mean like real dragons you read in story books." He asked and Taverx nodded while he replied. "Oh yes Harry, dragons are real like the ones you read about." He said and this made Harry want to go into a run just to see a real dragon. The first stop everyone stopped at was a weapons shop. The smell of wood, coal, fire and goblin steel melting into steel filling everyone's sense. A goblin that looked like he was built like a house saw Director Taverx and his group giving them a proper bow before speaking in English since he had guests. "Director Taverx, you and your mate honor my family by coming in to our shop today and you brought guests. This is really a great honor." He said and Taverx bowed back giving the proper reply. "Weapons Master Stroing thank you for the welcome and you honor me and my house today. I brought a special guest with me, this is Harry Potter. He has had a bit of a hard scary 8 years and he is back in our nation so he can heal." He said and the goblin looked at Harry while Taverx turned to Harry speaking. "Harry, this is Weapons Master Stroing. He is the best weapons smith in the nation." He told him. Harry looked up at the strong goblin before speaking. "It is a pleasure to meet you sir." He said and this made the goblin smile.

Master Stroing spoke looking at Harry. "Well, well, well. Harry Potter, you sure do have your mother's eyes. I was the one who made your parents swords since they were friends to our nation." He told him and then paused eyeing Harry carefully. The goblin nodded a few times before speaking once again. "You know, I hear it will be a someone's birthday soon. I might just have something in the back just your size. Let me go get it and I'll be right back." He said before leaving. Harry turned to Taverx who shrugged his shoulders while shaking his head. Weapons Master Stroing came back to the front of the shop carrying four items in his arms causing Taverx to raise and eyebrow as he wondered what the best smith in the goblin nation was doing. Master Stroing noticed and he knew that speaking in his native tongue was a bit rude to those who couldn't understand, but this time had to be an exception. He looked at Taverx before speaking in gobbledygook. "These were commissioned by Lord and Lady Potter before they were murdered. I had them ready for pickup the night they were killed. These belong to the boy, it was their last gift to him." He told the director and in return Taverx gave a sharp nod while folding his arms. Master Stroing looked at Harry before speaking in English. "These belong to you young man. Come here and I'll get the fitted for you." Harry looked to Astoria and Martin a bit worried, but with a gentle nudge from Martin, he stepped closer to the goblin.

Master Stroing knelt down as he started to speak once again. "You mom and dad had these made before they passed. This is a wand holder for when you get your wand. It also becomes a shield if you rotate your arm and back." He said as he placed the wand holder onto Harry's right arm. He then placed another type of guard onto his left arm as he spoke. "This one is a guard for your dagger. It's already inside, and the dagger is very sharp so be careful when needing it to come out. I recommend you pull it out instead of shaking your wrist. I have a dummy dagger for you to practice with." He said and then handed Harry a sword. He made a motion for Harry to unsheathe the sword. Harry withdrew the sword from it scabbard and saw the blade was shinny showing his reflection, but what Harry noticed the most was the name down the center of the blade. It had 'The House Potter' running down the center of the blade itself. Master Stroing fitted the scabbard to Harry's back before taking the blade from Harry and putting sword to scabbard once again. Master Stroing took a step back and looked at Harry before giving a few nods with a toothy smile. He looked at Harry speaking. "Well, now you look like a goblin warrior with that." He said as Harry was looking at his armguard which had his dagger inside. Master Stroing walked behind the counter and pulled a dummy dagger out handing it to Director Taverx to carry since Harry had his real dagger. Harry looked at Master Stroing to say thank you properly but the goblin spoke first. "Thanks are not needed today young man. I am just glad that I was able to give these to you after a very long wait. Use them well in protecting your witch." He told him as he winked to Daphne. She bowed her head blushing while Harry looked confused. The Greengrass's could help but smile at the two kids, and thanked god they didn't turn around to see knowing looks on their faces.

Taverx walked up to master Stroing and whispered something into his ear as Harry and Daphne were distracted by what Harry was given. He nodded a few times before speaking to Harry. "Um, excuse me young man, but do you mind if I call you Harry." He asked curiously. Harry looked up before he replied. "Um, sure I guess so." He answered and master Stroing continued to speak. "Thank you, now I was told something by the director and I am so sorry. How would you and your guests like to see how we make our weapons close up." He asked and this caused everyone's eyes to widen. No one outside of the goblin nation has ever seen a goblin weapon being made. The Greengrass's knew that this was extremely rare event. Harry looked at the elder Greengrass's who smiled and gave him a nod of approval. Taverx raised and eyebrow looking between the elder Greengrass's and Harry before speaking. "Harry why don't you go with Daphne for a few moments. I need to have a quick word with her parents. We won't be long and we'll catch up." He said. Harry didn't get a chance to respond since master Stroing ushered the two into the back of the shop.

Taverx turned to the Greengrass's and waited for Harry to be out of earshot and then spoke. "Lord and Lady Greengrass, I have noticed that Harry looks at you two the most when he needs to make a choice. I suspect that he looks to you both as a mother and father. I have no doubts anymore about making you both his magical and muggle guardian. Please make sure he has the best life possible while in your care, but also don't hide anything from him. He has a bullseye on his back and he'll need to know soon." He told them and the Greengrass's completely understood. It was the elder Astoria who spoke after a few minutes. "That boy hasn't stopped smiling since the earlier problem this morning. I want to keep that smile on his face. However we need to have his parents wills read as soon as possible. A few days ago you mentioned the 'Red String Of Love' when it came to my Daphne. I can see why now. She is glued to Harry's side and won't leave it. Seeing those two together makes me wonder if there is a marriage contract for the two of them. if so then great, but if not, then I don't know how we can get one since my best friend is dead." She said and Taverx nodded. He folded his arms in thought before speaking once again. "I will look into that for you Lady Greengrass. The boy has been through so much in 8 years of his young life. I hate to put a shock into his system, but he need to meet his extended family so we can decide the best place for him to be. I think they won't disagree with having you both becoming his guardian or possibly his adopted parents. The boy could really use good a good witch and wizard like you in his life. I'll send word to those I know of that private meeting will be taken place in a few days inside the bank." He told them.

Amelia looked at the Director before she spoke. "Director Taverx, I will need to inform the Wizengamot about Harry's status. They will not like this and would be in a fit if they found out that the boy has had a terrible start in life. Harry will have to be at the meeting." She told him. Martin Greengrass soon chimed in his thoughts to the topic. "I do see a problem with that Director Bone. The problem I see is Harry being overwhelmed and frightened with a full Wizengamot. He looks fine now, but how can you be sure that he will not freak out and have a panic attack. The mental state of Harry is rocky, and he is still needed to be watched. I don't want that boy harmed any more then he already has been." He said and Amelia could see Martian's point. She replied what she thought. "I understand that the boy is slowly healing Lord Greengrass. This will be stressful for him and I'll do everything in my power to make sure Harry mental, emotional and physical health is my top priority. If we all agree on this point right now then I can get to work, that is if anyone of us see his mood change in any degree Harry will leave the chambers immediately for his own protection." She suggested and the Greengrass's nodded before Martin spoke. "Agreed." He told her.

Harry came walking up and grabbed Astoria by the hand before speaking. "Mom come on, you're missing the fun." He said taking everyone by surprise. The elder Greengrass had tears in her eye as she knelt down to Harry speaking. "What did you call me?" She asked and Harry bowed his head thinking he said something wrong. He softly spoke not looking at her. "I'm sorry I didn't mean.." He told her and then he was wrapped up in her arms making him lose his train of thought. Astoria quietly spoke into his ear as tears fell down her face. "It's alright Harry. I know what you said and you can call me mom if you want. I always wanted a son and daughters. You're the closest thing to that dream I'll ever get." She told him. This made Harry start to ball like a baby hearing what the elder Greengrass said. Martin knew he was a strict father when teaching his girls about business and wizarding laws, but now he had to do the same for a boy who is a mess mentally, emotionally, verbally and physically. He knelt down to Harry who was crying into his wife shoulder before speaking. "Harry, I think we should get a bite to eat after this so we can all talk with you. since the day we met you your life and safety has been the topic of many long discussions. I think it is time we bring you into those talks, what do you think son." He asked hoping to get a good reply.

Astoria let go of Harry and stood up. Harry looked at Martin before speaking. "Um, sure I guess. Am I in trouble." He asked a bit nervously. Martin ruffled his already messy black hair as he spoke. "No my boy, your in no trouble at all. We just came to a decision on where you will live, and we want to hear what you think. But I need to know something that only you have the answer too. How do you feel about my daughter Daphne. I know she like you and she is glued to you." He said. Harry had to think for a few minutes before he replied. "I have never had any friends and now I have a best friend. Daphne is very pretty and can make me laugh, she has even been helping me with my little problem and teaching me a little bit about the Wizarding world. Mr. Greengrass can I ask a question." He said and Martin nodded with a smile knowing where Harry was going.

Harry looked at him before speaking a bit more quieter. "What is love, I don't know what it is, because I was never shown it." He asked and this made the elder Astoria to look shocked covering her mouth as tears were still falling. Martin hummed for a few minutes before speaking again. "Humm. Why do you ask Harry, and it's okay to be honest. I won't get mad or anything." He told Harry. Harry soon replied. "I know that Daphne and I just met a few days ago, but I think I love her, but I don't know what that is. She makes me feel better when she is around." Harry answered honestly. Martin smiled at Harry before giving him a hug while speaking. "Love is very complicated to understand Harry, but just take it slow and you'll learn. In time when your ready I think you and my daughter will be a great match." He told him and then let go. He smiled before speaking once again. "Now how about we go look at those weapons being made." He suggested as he stood up. Harry took Astoria by the hand and drug her along as Alsea walked past Martin with a grin speaking quietly. "Red String Of Love, more like a bond of fate." She said and this caused Martin to bow his head shaking it with a grin.

Martin slowly walked behind everyone with Taverx as they watch Daphne take Harry by the hand while they had smiles on their faces going around each workbench watching new weapons being made. Taverx glanced up to Martin. "That boy has taken a giant leap in his recovery today, lets hope that he doesn't take any steps backwards." He stated and Martin agreed with a nod. He spoke looking at his daughter and Harry. "A big leap indeed… I never thought that an 8 year old boy could capture my daughter's heart so quickly, but the same can be said for her. I will die for those kids and honestly Director Taverx, I thought that seeing Daphne for the fist time after she was born was the happiest day of my life. Next to my wedding, the birth of both my girls, this is one day that comes close to those events and I'll never forget this day." He said and this caused Taverx to give Martin a pat on the back with a grin. "They do grow-up fast. One day your changing their nappies, the next their off into their own world with their mates." He stated and Martin nodded. With the visiting guests that were with the Director of Gringotts Bank who left with smiles on their faces, Master Stroing went straight to work on a few surprises for the boy and he was known for having sharp eyes for things that most goblins, witch's and wizards miss….

{…The Goblin Nation: Restaurant…}

The weapons shop was fun to see for Harry and everyone that was with the Director and his mate. They all were at a restaurant and the goblin owner closed the store so the director, his mate and their guests could eat and talk privately without other goblins looking to curry favor with the director himself. Taverx warned his guests about how spicy the food was in the goblin nation and luckily for him the goblin owner of the restaurant said he could make stuff that wasn't to spicy for his guests and the children he was in the company of. Once everyone made their order and the drinks were served the goblin owner left them to talk in private. Martin looked at Harry who was holding onto Daphne's hand under the table as he spoke. "Now Harry, first off how are you holding up mentally and emotionally." He inquired as Harry took a drink of his goblin ale which was non-alcoholic. As he set his glass down he replied. "I'm doing fine so far sir. I will say that this is a bit scary, but with your daughter Daphne at my side it is getting better. This is the first time I am actually enjoying myself, and even that feels strange since all I know is how to cook, clean and get my aunt and uncle their tea." Harry admitted.

Amelia was writing down everything Harry has said and done throughout the day staying quiet observing him, but now she need to pose a question to him hoping it won't get him agitated. She looked at Harry before speaking. "Harry, this may be a bit hard, but I need to ask. When you were living with your aunt and uncle did you go to school? how was it there and how was your grades. Now you don't have to answer, but anything can help in my report. I just want to make sure that you'll fit in when it's time to place you in a new home." She said a bit wearily hoping he would not go into a panic attack. Harry bowed his head before he replied. "I love school, it was the only place I could actually read, but I also hated it. My cousin Dudley and his gang always like to play Harry Hunting." He said and then paused. This caused all eyes to look at him but it was Daphne who posed the question. "Harry Hunting? What is that." She asked and Harry looked at her before he replied. "Harry Hunting is my cousin's favorite game with his gang as I said Daphne. I run as fast as I can to keep away from them, but if I am caught they beat me up. The teachers do try and help, but it just make things worse at home. I have to get bad marks just to make my cousin look better then me. I did make my teachers hair turn blue last year by accident when Dudley punched me in my back. Then on another day I found myself up on top of the school roof trying to get away from Dudley. The day before I met you my aunt shaved my head because of the way my hair looked and the next day it was back. I didn't know that I was using magic until you told me Daphne, so thank you." He answered and Daphne wrapped her arms around Harry from the side giving him a hug.

Harry smiled and then turned to Amelia before speaking again. "Ms. Bones what is going to happen to me now that I am away from my aunt and uncle." He inquired, and Amelia closed her note book before answering. "Harry, I need to be very honest with you, and I need you to be as strong as you can for me alright." She said sounding a bit more serious. Harry nodded so Amelia could continue. "This is just the start of my investigation against your aunt and uncle. I have been watching every thing you have been doing since your stay in the muggle hospital. As the Director of the DLME there is more I must do to collect evidence against them. I don't know if I could do anything yet, but what I need to get now is a chance to see your living conditions. It will help in the investigation. I can't promise that this will not scare you, but you will need to go back to your aunt and uncle with me. You'll have all the support that is sitting at this table when we go. I won't let them touch you that I will guarantee, after that then it is a Wizengamot trial. Now a Wizengamot trial Harry is a bunch of witch's and wizards who like to do a lot of shouting at each other over small petty things. Think of it as a big room with a lot of judges. They will choose where to place you and some of them might try and take you for their own gain. Of course you will have a say in where you want to go and I will help make it happen for you all the while making sure it is a safe place. I don't want to see you with a bad family that will do the same thing as your aunt and uncle." She told him as gently as possible.

Astoria thanked god that Amelia led Harry into what she was about to say, looking at Harry she spoke. "Harry, Director Bones, my husband, Director Taverx and myself have been talking about you coming to live with us." She said before pausing as Harry's eyes went wide as dinner plates. He spoke quickly and without any fear. "Come live with you really, you really really want me. I mean I am no good, a slave." He said causing Daphne to kiss his cheek before speaking. "Harry you became my best friend in a short time and your not a slave. Don't say your no good, because you are, you are a very good boy and a very strong wizard." She told him, and Martin spoke up adding his two knutts worth in. "Daphne's right Harry, you're a really good boy and Astoria and I would love to have you as a son. Your parents were our best friends and how could we not look after you, besides it will keep their memory alive just seeing you in our home. But I must warn you that if you say yes, that we are know as a gray family. Meaning we don't take sides in the Wizengamot or any conflict." He said and this caused Harry to perk up a bit.

Harry spoke as a question came racing through his head. "Gray Family, what is that." He asked and Taverx spoke to answer. "Well Harry, there are families that are of the light meaning good families. Then the gray families are the ones who look at both sided of the issue before making a choice, and then there are dark families who think their better then everyone else and their way is the only way to see things." He told him. Harry nodded since he understood most of it before he spoke looking at Taverx. "And you sir. are you one of these families, because I like you." He said and this caused Alsea to shed a few tears. She smiled before she spoke. "And we like you too Harry." She responded. Taverx smiled as he spoke. "Innocent babes, such a joy to have in ones life." He said before continuing to speak with Harry. "To answer that question Harry is a bit of harsh reality. Not everything is all rainbows and bubbles, and happy endings are not real like you read in storybooks. You're a wizard with a bit of your mother in you, and I'll talk with you a bit more privately about that in the days to come. However I need to tell you that us goblins are treated as beasts. Witch's and wizards are a lazy bunch, no offence to my guests." He said gesturing to the adults. Astoria nodded as she answered. "None taken. You speaking the truth." She said and Taverx continued. "Us goblins are seen as beasts only good at one thing, and that is protecting every witch and wizards amount of gold. We have no voice in the wizarding world and anything we do needs to go through The Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures. Kinda sad really, but you are a treasure that no amount of galleons could buy. As much as we want to have you live with us and have us raise you we can't. If the wizarding world finds out that we are raising you it might cause another wizard, goblin war. We're a small nation and in our laws we have more then one mate if you have the galleons to support them. Now that I think more about it, I guess you can see us like a gray family." Said Taverx and he was pleased to see that Harry quietly understood.

Harry sat in his chair and looked between The elder Greengrass's, Taverx, Alsea, Daphne and little sister Astoria several times thinking. He smiled before he spoke. "I want to stay with Daphne. I don't want to lose my best friend." He said and was going to continue, but Daphne jumped out of her chair and into Harry's lap giving him the biggest hug he ever got in his life. This caused the adults to bust out into laughter as Martin spoke. "I guess we just lost a daughter, but gained a son." He said jokingly. Daphne let go of Harry before looking to her father before commenting. "Daddy, I am only 8. I am not getting married, yet. But if I could have a betrothed then I would take Harry in a heartbeat. He is a good boy; he may have problems now, but with a bit of work he'll be the best man ever." She said as her face blushed. Astoria had to get a drink from laughing so much, but she almost spit her drink out after hearing her daughter. She looked at Daphne speaking since she couldn't resist. "Training your husband already Daphne, way to make a mother look bad. But hay I am not complaining. I would love to see you hitched to a son like Harry." She said and this caused both kids to turn a nice shade of red. Daphne spoke looking at her mother. "Mmmmoooommmm…. Not you too. I don't want to be married yet…" She protested and Astoria smiled before Daphne started to complain more. "Daphne, we all know this kiddo. We're just having a bit of a poke at the two of you. I am just happy that Harry want to stay with his best friend." She said and Amelia smiled standing up before speaking. "Well, I better get on the second part of my investigation since I have seen enough here today. Director Taverx, if I may request Harry's medical report that would be a big help, and if any thing changes please send me an owl." She said and Taverx nodded before she left.

Director Taverx stood up as he spoke with a smile. "Well, I'm stuffed. I don't know about you kids, but I would like to see some dragons." He said and this caused Harry, Daphne and Astoria Jr. to yell all at once. "Yaay, Dragons!" Taverx let out a booming laugh with a smile before walking over to the restaurant goblin owner and paid their bill with a word of thanks for the meal and the privacy. Everyone left and walked down the street past workshops that were making armor, clothes and other things that no witch or wizard has ever seen. Alsea smiled seeing Harry walking ahead holding onto Daphne's hand chatting away like he didn't have a care in the world. That however was soon disrupted when a goblin she knew came out of a jems shop and ran right into Harry making him fall onto his ass.

Harry looked up as he spoke to a muscle bound goblin. "Oh I am so sorry. I didn't…" he said but was stopped from speaking as his massive boot found his stomach while the goblin spoke. "Stay down white skin and lick my boots. That's where you belong anyways." He barked as he kicked Harry again. Harry curled up into a ball feeling pain, but the memories of the beatings, broken bones and everything he went through went flashing through his head while he spoke in tears. "Master I am sorry… master please no. No I'll do better don't hurt me…" He cried. Taverx, Astoria, Alsea and Martin surrounded Harry and the kids in a flash ready for a fight. Their biggest concern was Harry and Astoria along with Alsea knelt down to check on him while Daphne and Astoria was in shock. Alsea saw the gem shop owner and he was waving them inside to get out of the away. Despite the way Alsea looked she picked Harry up and carried him inside while Astoria grabbed her girls dragging them along.

Taverx growled at the goblin having his dagger next to his throat. "Goldtooth, I should gut you where you stand." He barked and the goblin smirked before he replied. "Taverx well, well, well. I see you brought along a few pets. Taking them for a walk. Your as weak as ever." He huffed with a smirk. Taverx growled as he replied. "You want to challenge me Goldtooth, a fight to the death. You know the laws, and I'll gladly except. I remember your brother acting the same way when Lilly and James were announce as friends to our nation. He lost his life in the pit for his stupidity. Don't make the same mistake as he did. That boy you bumped into is their only son and he was doing the right thing by apologizing to you, even though he didn't have too. He is no pet and he is in our medical ward for treatment of abuse and broken bones along with several other things you have no clue about. Now what say you. You walk away with honor and apologize to the boy, or face me in the pit. Your choice." He growled the last two words harder making it very clear that he will fight to the death. Goldtooth's mate Blessee came out of a shop across the street and she was just as arrogant as Goldtooth was.

She walked up to the two goblins hearing the last part before she spoke. "To the death, Taverx. We challenge you and your mate. Winner takes all." She said folding her arms before she smirked. Taverx wasn't going to back down and put his dagger away before spitting into his hand speaking. "Tonight then, we fight to the death, and no children are not allowed this time." He barked. Goldtooth reciprocated the jester as he spoke. "Agreed, tonight then. I'll enjoy standing over you and watch as your body get weak as you die." He said. Taverx growled as he spoke. "We'll see Goldtooth, we'll see. I am just glad you have no younglings, your too arrogant and self-righteous for your own good. It's time I put your whole clan down for good." He said before walking away with Martin. Taverx was fuming as him and Martin walked into the gems shop. What they saw stopped them in their tracks. Harry was pretty much fine for the most part, but he was huddled into a ball in a corner with his hands over his ears and his eyes shut rocking back and forth muttering to himself. Every time someone took a step closer to him he started to fail his arms. Not even Daphne could get close to him. The shop keeper even had his mate try and help but it was no use. He turned around to speak with Taverx. "Director, what in Dorriox is wrong with the boy. No one can get near him without a good fist to the jaw." He inquired and Taverx sighed before answering. "That boy has been abused by his muggle family. I take it you know who he is." He asked and the shop keeper nodded as he spoke. "He looks like our late friends James and Lilly. Is he their boy. He is in a good state of fear, but what can we do." He asked as Alsea came up with a fix on the spot. She looked to Astoria and Daphne before speaking. "Harry is needing to get calmed down and quickly. There is only one thing we can try. Solar, his bonded familiar. She can help if we can get her to sing." She said and Astoria nodded before she spoke too. "If you think that will help, then by all means, call her. I hate to see Harry like this." She said and Alsea nodded.

Alsea walked to the door of the shop and opened it before walking back pulling out a silver flute from out of nowhere. She stopped in front of Harry before playing a few notes with the flute. Everyone waited and it was a long wait for them, but in reality it was only two minutes. A large phoenix with orange and yellow feathers, a gold beak and legs came swooping in landing in front of Harry. Astoria and Martin were taken by surprise by how big the legendary bird was. They knew Dumbledore had a phoenix as a familiar since they have seen it a few times when they were in Hogwarts, but they didn't know they grew this big. Astoria spoke looking at Alsea. "That's Harry's familiar, she huge. How in Merlin's beard did he get a phoenix this big." She asked. Alsea smirked a bit glancing to Astoria replying. "What you think that old goat Dumbledore is the only one with a phoenix, please. Solar is the queen of all phoenix's and it is quite fitting for a succubus king to have one like her. It was the Flamel's who gave her to Harry the day he was born. She was quite useful when he was fussy. Now she is needed once again." She said before looking at the phoenix. The famous bird started to sing as she saw Harry in a fit of distress.

It was a few minutes before everyone saw that Harry was calming down and this caused Astoria to try to get close to him. she took a few steps forward before kneeling down and reach out to him. Harry latched on to Astoria making her sit on the floor as he cried. She started rocking Harry while brushing his hair out of his face and kissing the top of his head speaking. "It's going to be okay Harry. it's going to be okay. Cry your heart out, we're not going anywhere. We're all right here and we're not leaving you." She told him in a tender motherly tone. Seeing that Astoria had things well in hand with Harry Alsea looked to her mate before pulling him away. Once they were far enough away from Harry she spoke. "Alright Taverx, give it to me straight. What did that no good lying, backstabbing scoundrel of a goblin want. I know he purposely ran into who pretty much is our grandson, so spill it." She demanded. Taverx sighed knowing that Alsea was going to find out anyways come later tonight and he spoke. "Goldtooth made his voice very clear. Him and his mate challenged us to a duel to the death in the pit tonight, winner takes all." He said and Alsea folded her arms as she replied. "That's just stupid, Goldtooth knows he can't win. This is just like his brother all over again. Fine, they want a fight, well they fucking got one. I'll be damned if I see that boy shed tears because of someone is being stupid. Let's not tell Harry because this would make the problem worse for him." She said and Taverx had to agree with is mate.

He turned to look at Harry and a worried look came across his face as he spoke his thoughts. "I think we should forgo seeing the dragons today. I think Harry has had enough excitement for one day and with Goldtooth making Harry go into a panic attack thinking he was still with the Dursley's didn't do him any good." He said and Alsea shook her head as she too looked at Harry before replying. "I think we should let him decide that. He'll know when he had enough and he'll tell us. Let's not let one goblin ruin his first day out away from the beating and mistreatment he has suffered. So far today he has been a great kid and everyone has been so nice to him." She said honestly. Taverx looked to his mate with a smile before he gave her a warm hug as he spoke. "And this is why I am so glad we're mates Alsea. You always see the bright side of things. I'll play along for now, but let's ask Harry first on what we should do. if he wants to go back to his room then that settles the matter." He told her and Alsea kissed her mate before she answered. "Well someone has to keep your hot temper in check. I am so glad we're mates too Taverx, and your right. Let's see what Harry wants and not choose for him." She replied before letting go of him walking back to Harry.

Alsea knelt down looking at Harry seeing that he was calm and she spoke. "Hey kiddo, how are you holding up. That goblin really did a number on you." She said and then paused so Harry could answer. Harry wiped his face before he spoke. "I'm fine now ma'am. I don't know what happened. I said I was sorry, but that big goblin just kicked me and then things went black." He told her and Taverx folded his arms before he spoke up. "That was Goldtooth, Harry. He always thinks he is better then everyone else. His brother and I fought to the death in the pit when your parents became friends to our nation. He is just like him and will never change. Now I don't want to scare you, but Alsea and I were challenged to a fight to the death later on. I think it is better for you to know now then find out later. Alsea disagrees and wishes for me to hide this from you. I want you to know that none of this is your fault. That big blowhard has never liked me since we were younglings. I will fight for the people I think of as family and that my boy is you and everyone here. Now how do you feel if we continue to go see the dragons. I bet there is one that you'll love to see." He said and Harry nodded with a smile. even though Harry didn't know what it meant to fight to the death he still wanted to enjoy the rest of his day out. Alsea put her hands on her hips not looking to pleased seeing that her mate told Harry anyways even though they agreed a few minutes ago not to tell him. He gave her an apologetic look causing her to let out a sigh while shaking her head. Everyone left the gems shop with a word of thanks and made their way to see the dragons…

{…Muggle world: Surry…}

While Harry was going to see the dragons, Amelia Bones was back in the muggle world and she was dressed like them with a bit of a twist. She looked like a detective wearing a skirt that was past her knees, a red blouse and pumps. Her hair was down instead of a tight bunn and her monocle was replaced with a badge. She carried a gun holster with a fake gun as she walked into a police station in Surry carrying a file with her. She shook her head seeing how the place looked and muttered to herself before walking up to the nearest check-in desk. The police officer looked at her a bit strangely before Amelia spoke. "Good after noon, I am detective Amelia Bones. I would like to speak with your chief on a case I am working on." She said and the officer sneered before replying. "I am sorry lady, but I know a lot of detectives and your not one. I suggest that you go home and burn that outfit before I throw you behind bars for impersonating an officer of the law." He told her and Amelia was taking back by how rude this officer was. In all her years as head of the DLME she was used to all the shit witch's and Wizards did, but she wasn't going to let some muggle tell her what to do. Her eyes hardened looking at the officer as she spoke. "I am a detective from a small country and I have diplomatic rights. Now you listen to me you little piss ant. If you wish to keep that comfy seat then you'll show me respect. I am here on a child abuse case dealing with a very young king who was placed in your country without our knowledge. Now get me your chief." She demanded as all eyes were now on her.

Amelia's voice was so loud it got the chief of the station to come out of his office in a hurry. He looked at Amelia and saw she wasn't one to mess around or cross. he walked over and introduced himself to her. "Ms. I am Chief Jonathan Connor. How may I be of service to you this afternoon." He asked and Amelia nodded now seeing a fairly well-built man in his forties with a bit of gray showing though his brown hair. He looked like any police Chief you would find around Britain. Amelia held out her hand getting to why she came. "Good afternoon Chief. I hope this isn't how you greet another officer from another country all the time. I am here because of a case I am working on. do you think I can speak to you a bit more privately. It's a bit of a delicate case." She said and the Chief gave a sharp nod before answering. "Of course, please come to my office and we'll discuss your case. I do assure you Ms. that we don't speak to fellow officers like how you were spoken too. Officer Thomas and I will have a long and serious talk when we're done. He may be out of a job by the time we're done. I didn't catch your name." He inquired and Amelia nodded as they walked. She pulled her badge from her pocket as she replied. "It's detective Amelia Bones of the Royal Zapines Nation. Our young king was kidnapped as a babe, but we found him in your country abused by two of your countrymen. I was wondering if I could get any more information on them. their names are Dursley, Vernon, Dursley Petunia and they have a son Dudley. School records, any police reports, any thing you can get would be a big help to our nation. I have a warrant for a search and a written document for an arrest with transport to my country so they can face a trial." She said as the chief's office door was opened. He looked like someone who just saw a ghost as he shut the door once they were inside. He sat at his desk as he spoke. "I don't know how much information I can give you detective Bones, but we'll sure give you what we can for your investigation. If I may ask is this an arrest investigation or just the start." He asked and Amelia replied. "This is a start. However I will be bringing our young king back to where we found him to get more proof of your countrymen's wrong doings. If your wondering our king is being treated for the abuse and is a bit fragile at the moment." Amelia said as she opened the file she brought with her.

As the police chief looked at the file Amelia continued speaking. "This is what we have so far, but it is not enough for a conviction." She said as the chief flipped through the notes. He soon looked up and folded his fingers while thinking. He eyed Amelia carefully before speaking after what seemed like an hour. "Detective Bones, I can get several of my other detectives who specialize in child abuse on this case. This is some serious harm that your king went through and it makes me sick. When do you need the information. I'll surely get it to you by then." He said and Amelia nodded. She crossed her arms before she answered. "I need it in two weeks. By then our hope is that our king will be mentally strong enough to come back." She answered and saw the look of questions in the chief's eyes making her continue. "Chief I know that look, every parent has it. I my self have it since I am raising my niece after her my sister in-law and brother were killed. Rest assure that my king is recovering very well after the royal surgeons worked to repair the broken bones. He will not even have scares. It's now the emotional and mental issues we're working on now." She said making the police chief close his eyes for a moment.

He spoke after pinching the bridge of his nose looking at Amelia. "That will be a very hard and difficult road to walk for the lad. Well, I think I should introduce you to the detectives for your case." He told her finally standing up. Amelia took a coin from her blouse pocket before speaking. "Thank you chief for your time. This is how I'll reach you. it is not found in any county but mine. We call it a call coin. When you see of feel warmth then you'll know I am nearby. Please keep this on you at all times and let no one see it." She said as the chief looked at the coin. He nodded before picking it up and sliding it into his pocket before opening his office door….

{…Two Weeks Later…}

Harry had the best few weeks in his entire life even though he was only alive for 8 years. He got to know Director Taverx and Alsea since he was able to leave his hospital room and was given a room in their home until the Greengrass's could become his guardians. Daphne of course stayed with Harry to make sure he was alright. Taverx and Alsea won their duel and Goldtooth's fortune was added to Harry's vault since he was the one harmed. Everything Goldtooth owned was sold off so that was added in as well. The Potter fortune grew by over 28, 000,000 galleons once everything was said and done. Now today was a different matter altogether. Today Harry was sitting in back of a nice car with Daphne, Amelia and two goblin guards disguised as muggles. Four police cars were around them with their sirens blaring as they sped through Surry. No one on Privet Drive knew what awaited them this morning, least of all the Dursley's. They were in for one rude awakening very shortly.

Amelia looked at Harry as she spoke once she looked out the window. "Okay Harry we're almost to your aunt and uncles house. how are you feeling?" She asked and Harry quickly replied. "Scared, but if I am to get better I have to face this. At least my best friend Daphne is here and so are you ma'am." He answered making Amelia smile. "You are being very brave Harry for doing this. Now you remember what to do. Stay close by me and the guards no matter what happen." She said and Harry nodded. Daphne looked to Harry as she spoke. "I have Solar's flute and I'll use it if you need Harry and just in case I brought a change of clothes. Mom said you might freeze up and have an accident, and that is nothing to be ashamed of considering what you went through. Just know I will not leave your side, your my best friend." She told him and this caused Harry to give her a hug before speaking. "Thanks Daphne." He told her. Soon the lights and sirens woke the residents of Privet Drive causing them to come out of their homes to see what was going on. The police cars came to a screeching halt in front of Number Four. Eight police officers got out of their cars and two went up to the door pounding on it as one spoke. "This is the SPD, come out with your hands up." The officer shouted as Amelia, Harry, Daphne and the goblin guards stepped out of their car.

Vernon swung open his door and Harry thought it would come off the hinges with how violently it opened. Vernon's booming voice was heard and this froze Harry. "What the fuck is the meaning of this. Do you…" He said and then paused. He saw Harry before speaking while his face went as red as a beet. "You, why you…" he said and then went running towards Harry. Still frozen with fear Harry couldn't help himself as every single thing he went through raced through his mind and he wet himself before breaking down crying while speaking. "No please don't hurt me anymore, I'll do better next time master. Please Nooooo…" Amelia turned and held Harry quickly and spoke softly. "Harry your going to be just fine, I am right here, Daphne is here. He can't hurt you anymore." She said as Daphne pulled the flute and played the notes. It was a few minutes before Solar few down and stood in front of Harry while she started to sing. Everyone saw how big the bird was and was in shock seeing the beautiful phoenix. It took a few minutes before Harry was calmed down and an officer walked up. He was going to ask about the phoenix but Daphne spoke first. "My best friends pet he had since he was a baby. She is the only thing that can calm him down long enough to reach his fragile mind. Don't you have a job to do besides asking an 8 year old questions." She said in a harsh tone that would make her mother proud, and the officer walked away shaking his head.

Petunia Dursley was standing at her door in her night gown in shock as Vernon was fighting with the officers and the goblin guards being face down in the grass. It took three sets of handcuffs to restrain Vernon and once he got up he had a mouth full of dirt. An officer spoke looking to his colleagues and he wasn't nice about it. "Get this piece of shit out of here. He is under arrest for attempted assault of a minor and resisting." He barked. One of the officers who Vernon pushed passed to get ahold of Harry spoke to Petunia. "Mrs. Dursley, I have a warrant here to search the premises. Please leave with your son and don't make this harder then it has to be. I will not hesitate to arrest you as well if you go near Mr. Potter. Everything you need to know is in the papers." She said and in a dazed state Petunia took the papers walking outside with Dudley following right behind her. One of the officers behind Harry spoke. "Dudley Dursley, don't move son, and place your hands behind your back. I have an arrest warrant for you. It seems that you and your little friends have caused quite a bit of trouble around town and at the school. You'll be booked into JSPD, then you will be released into your mother's custody before you see a judge." He told him and Petunia fell to her knees.

Petunia's perfect world came crashing down in mere minutes. Her Vernon was arrested and so was her little diddy-dums all because of the boy who was her nephew, well adopted nephew really was beaten every day for years and then thrown away on her sons birthday at the amusement park now two months ago. Daphne looked at Amelia speaking as all eyes of the neighborhood. "Ms. Bones, I think we should get Harry inside to change. He kinda had a little accident and I for one don't blame him one bit. That fat walrus of a human being even scared me when he came charging at my best friend." She said, and Amelia nodded taking Harry by his shoulders before leading him to the house while Petunia's neighbors gathered to whisper. Amelia stopped for a moment to look at Petunia speaking. "You make me sick for beating an innocent child, you know that. The Evens family took you in when you had no family and the treated you as their own daughter. Lady Potter treated you like a sister and this is how you honor her memory, by beating her only son almost to death. By all rights by Evens Law I should kill you now and there is nothing any could do about it since it is a diplomatic matter. However I will not kill you yet, I'll save that for another time so you can think Petunia Dursley." She said coldly causing a shiver to run up Petunia's spine. Amelia wasn't done however and knelt down to whisper in her ear driving a few more nails into her social coffin. "You're a dead woman walking Petunia Dursley. There is no where you can hide from a goblin when you have pissed them off, and you really pissed them off by hurting one of their own. they'll enjoy playing with you first before they take your head. I hope you can sleep at night, and that is not all you bitch. I get my fun first, so sit there like the dogmeat you are and I'll be back for you skinny ass." She told her and this made Petunia stiffen a bit more. Petunia's reputation was now shot with the ladies of Privet Drive now they knew how badly they treated a child. She had no where to run or hide from this kind of embarrassment and she knew it. Amelia stood up and glance behind her before speaking to Daphne. "Lady Potter, please take your betrothed into the house. I'll be right behind you, I just need to have a quick chat with a few ladies." She said with a wink.

Daphne giggle know that Amelia was playing to her strengths and pretending that she was the future Mrs. Potter. Daphne of course nodded before leading Harry into the house. Amelia walked across the street and a neighbor spoke. "Ma'am what is going on? We never have seen this much action in our neighborhood before. Oh sure, an occasional officer or two writing tickets, but this." The woman asked. Amelia was happy to oblige to answer the woman's question. "Sorry for the disturbance ma'am. I am detective Amelia Bones from a small country. I am here to do an investigation. My young king was kidnapped eight years ago and he was found just a short while ago by one of our ambassador's. My king was found and was beaten by is aunt and uncle and cousin. Unfortunally the aunt was adopted into the royal family but had no ties to raise my king. We're still investigating the abuse and we should know more in the days to come. Can I get statements from you on what you have seen since the Dursley's have lived here. It would help in the investigation and get a conviction. I can have one of the officers come and collect it before we leave." She said and all the neighbor ladies looked at each other before nodding. This was more juicy gossip then who was having sex with who. Amelia walked away with a smirk on her face and entered the Dursley house knowing that Petunia's life just became a living hell and she'll have nightmares of this day for as long as she lived, if she lived at all once the goblins were done with her…

{…Gringotts Bank…}

It was several hours later when Amelia, Harry, Daphne and their goblin guards walked into Gringotts and they were shown to the Directors office. Daphne was surprised to see her parents sitting with Director Taverx. She knew something was up being back from a Wizengamot meeting so soon. Astoria got up from her seat and walked over to Harry giving him a hug with the widest smile Daphne has ever seen. It took a few minutes before Astoria spoke. "Well I guess we just gained a son." She announced taking both Harry and Daphne by surprise. She wasn't finished however continuing to speak. "Lord Black stood behind our choice to be your guardian Harry and so did Lady Longbottom, even Lady Tonks was pleased. Actually they officially stood and had the guardianship changed. They got us to officially adopt you, you're a Greengrass now. Of course you'll even keep your name as Lord Potter and all the titles you have. You don't have to go in front of the Wizengamot Harry and we did it without Dumbledore knowing once we showed proof he can't be trusted thanks to Director Taverx and the Goblin nation." She said and Daphne hugged Harry speaking. "Yay, I get my boyfriend to live with me forever." She said and then caught herself as her mother giggled. She wrapped her daughter into a hug as she spoke. "Not yet young lady, you still have some growing to do and it will be up to Harry and your hearts to decide that." She added and Daphne rolled her eyes before speaking. "No offence mom, but no shit." She said sarcastically shocking Astoria. "DAPHNE! Where in Merlin's beard did you here that." She asked. Daphne bowed her head before answering. "Sorry mom, it was daddy who taught me." She admitted and Astoria shot her husband a murderous look as she replied. "Oh he did, did he. Well your dad and I will be having a very long talk when we get home I can promise you that. You kids shouldn't be talking like that in the first place." She said and then looked at Harry who wanted to laugh, but knew better not too. He was just happy to start a new life with a new family.

Author's Note 2: I hope everyone enjoyed the new chapter of this new story. Yeah I do know there are things missing and I do have something planned for Vernon, Petunia and Dudley. Speaking of the piggy, yes I do know that an eight year old can't be arrested. However it can be done depending on the crime. In Dudley's case the beating he has done to other besides Harry gives the cause of arrest and release until a court date is set. Anyway, I will see you in the next chapter.
