Here is the next chapter of my story. Please read and review love Sag x
In the morning Harry woke up feeling very comfortable. It was almost hard to believe he was in Grimmauld place anymore. Today they would be decorating his room something he could have only dreamed of last time around. He flopped back on his back squealing in joy for a short moment before he got out of bed. He found a nice but aged pair of warm slippers waiting for him and so he put them on feeling instantly cosy. Already he felt ten times better then he would have at the Dursleys. Speaking of which in order to end his case of the shits all Vernon would need to do would be to throw out the sweets in his car however as Harry knew he'd never dream of doing that he'd continue to suffer some more without his presence. At least if Vernon also suffered when he was gone he couldn't be blamed for it. Until the sweets were gone it would be assumed that Vernon had a viral infection of some sort. As he'd been so angry the last day he'd eaten all of the sweets in one go and was still shitting now not that Harry knew that though as he wasn't there. Tilly had seen it and felt happy as he deserved it for being mean to her sir.
Aunt Petunia's slimming pills had been replaced with rounded sweets which were loaded with sugar and designed to be taken just like tablets. This way she too could gain a few pounds and learn to focus on herself. Whilst Harry was gone however it was rather hard to keep ignoring Dudley when he threw tantrum after tantrum and blamed everything on Harry when he obviously wasn't there. Petunia was in all honesty worried that if he didn't stop something bad would happen to him and she was right, it did happen to him a few days later. She had told Dudley he couldn't have something he really wanted from the shop which he felt was so unfair and so he and Piers had both stolen one each and had been arrested. The police were stunned however when Dudley said he knew it was wrong but he'd wanted it and his mum had no something she would never usually do so he had simply taken it. He said his mother wouldn't ever stop him from getting what he wanted. Dudley was essentially becoming what they had always tried to say Harry was. Petunia herself was horrified as the police car had pulled up with Dudley inside it. Dudley was brought to the door by the police officer who was stunned when she opened it and proceeded to pander to Dudley's every whim thinking something awful had been done to her little angel.
"Excuse me madam but your son was the one who did the wrong thing. We have cautioned him for now and let him off with a warning but should he try and steal anything again you could wind up paying a huge fine and he could end up in juvenile detention which we don't want I can assure you! Luckily for you he's still a child" he said sternly as she balked. She promised it wouldn't happen again and ordered Dudley to his room. She and Vernon would discuss it later on.
This morning though as Harry padded down the stairs he came upon Sirius in the kitchen covered in flour. He was making pancakes for Harry something which warmed the boy's heart entirely. It would seem Sirius had asked Kreacher to let him do this and the elf had reluctantly agreed. When Sirius saw Harry entering he smiled brightly at him.
"Good morning Pup. On the table you will see some owl order catalogues for the stuff for your room. The pancakes will be ready in a while!" he said as Harry smiled brightly at him. Sitting down he pulled the nearest catalogue towards him seeing that it was one for wall designs and thumbed through the book only pausing when he found a wall design of the constellations with Sirius amongst them and smiled. He'd get that one to honour his godfather and he'd seen a depiction of a forest with a stag in it which he'd put in his bathroom to honour his father. When he was ready he turned to see Sirius smiling at him and placing the pancakes beside him on the table.
"Thank you so much. I have chosen this wallpaper for my room for obvious reasons. Not only it is beautiful but it had Sirius the constellation on it and makes me feel very happy and safe. This one over here with the stag can go into my bathroom for my father. I know he was a stag before. I remember some things about them and I remember he changed into a stag once to get me to stop crying. It did work but only because I thought he'd looked rather silly. I did laugh at him too he was offended but he had looked funny at the time" he said as Sirius started laughing.
"Yes he always did that when you were a baby. Those are lovely choices Harry. We can get those now!" he said with a smile pressing his ring firmly into the indent of the page as the rolls of parchment were delivered by owl courier and arrived ten minutes later. Harry had never needed to use this kind of magic in his timeline from before so he was fascinated to see it.
"Harry I don't want any complaints but as your godfather it is my job to care for you and later on we're going to the bank to have you looked over by a healer. Also I have taken control of Bellatrix's vaults so I must look through those briefly which I will do while you're being healed. She was an evil old family member of mine who is in jail who I kicked from the family. Don't worry about a thing!" he said as Harry looked contemplative. This could be an opportunity to get the horcrux dealt with while they were there.
"Sirius please be careful with her vault. You said she was evil and in jail. I wouldn't wish her to have anything dark or evil in her account at the bank which could hurt you!" he said in believable concern shocked as Sirius seemed to only just dawn on the fact that this could even be a problem. Harry fought very hard to not roll his eyes in exacerbation. How could Sirius not think of this as being an issue? I mean he was related to her for Merlin's sake! Sometimes Sirius could be such a dope. It's like he didn't know how to think of things on his own anymore. Hopefully that would get better with time. His eyesight was fine and Tilly had been healing his malnutrition not that he knew this of course. He assumed he kept on growing normally because he was now being fed normally by her. He wondered if they'd find the horcrux in him. He sure hoped they would. In actuality all he really needed was the small bit of malnourishment he had left and his horcrux treated. The height he assumed would be fixed at that point as well.
When breakfast was finished they both dressed in simple robes which they'd found in the house. They would first go to the bank and get all they needed to get done finished and then after that they'd be buying a custom wizarding wardrobe each. Sirius didn't like shopping for clothes but he figured if he did so once and did it well he'd only ever need to top up his wardrobe once a year something he was good with. They showered and changed into their clothing. Harry was going to be travelling by floo the first time in this timeline and he was nervous he'd fall out on his face which had always happened. He stepped into the fireplace throwing down the floo powder and calling out Gringotts clearly. He appeared in the foyer of the bank and instead of falling on his face he simply slid out of the fireplace at a fast pace. Sirius laughed at his godson who was still rapidly sliding away until he came to stop at the counter. The goblin there looked mildly amused.
"Name please" he said coldly.
"Harry Potter. Here's my key!" he said as his hand was grabbed forcefully and blood sample wrenched from him.
"We must be sure you are him because we get many imposters claiming to be Harry Potter regularly!" he snapped pouring the blood on a family tree parchment. It showed he was Harry Potter and an heir to quite a few families something neither he nor Sirius had ever seen coming. It was highly likely that neither his parents nor Dumbledore had known about this. Harry had never bothered checking this out the last time and was rather shocked to hear this as was Sirius behind him. He learned that he'd inherited from the Peverell, Axel, Darkmore and Addlemore lines. It showed what if any talents he'd inherited from each families and he was stunned to find out his Parseltongue had come from the Addlemore line and not from his Horcrux as he had always just assumed it had. Sirius stepped forward asking for the health check-up for Harry and asked for someone to check over Bellatrix's vault for dark items before he went in to look at it. Harry was taken off to one side and fed a potion he was told would heal him which actually knocked him out instead. Goblins had a way of healing people which could seriously hurt them so they often told this lie so the person could be healed whilst unconscious and feel no pain.
They removed Harry's clothing and placed him in a bath of healing ritualistic water. They watched as all of his previously poorly healed bones and the slight bit of malnutrition he had left healed and he became his right height. They all screamed as when his horcrux died the people who had investigated Bellatrix's vault found the horcrux in there which had reacted to Harry's one being so close to it and flown in his direction intending to merge with that one. When it did try and merge the cup split down the middle as the evil within it joined with the other fragment dying out as soon as they were connected. The cup then resealed itself a mechanism it had been crafted with. Downstairs the gemino curse was removed from the vault and Sirius was able to access it and remove some priceless artefacts from it which should have been in his vault but was stolen.
As he was here he too decided to undergo the same inheritance test Harry had done and discovered he had inherited from the Warrens and Carter lines something he'd never seen coming. They weren't as rich as the Blacks but did have many properties all around the globe he could use as and when he liked. It would seem the Carters liked to ski a lot having many ski lodges all around the world. Sirius had never much liked skiing but then again it had been years since he'd done it so it might be fun now who knows. Upstairs Harry was given all of his shots he'd be needing and now that he was healed fully he was placed in a chair with a dressing gown on him. He was too tall now for his clothes having exceeded even the size Tilly thought he might grow to. He now stood at five ft. even in height. He woke up mortified to be in a robe when he'd been informed about his height and even he was shocked. Sirius was done when Harry emerged in conjured clothing he was told would do him until he bought new ones which he wore. The charm used to conjure them would wear off in one hour. He hurried into Twilfitt and Tattings buying loads of luxury robes and luxury but plain looking muggle clothing as well as very expensive muggle clothing.
Sirius had one more surprise he'd worked on last night when Harry slept. He'd visited the Dursleys getting them to sign Harry's guardianship over to him which they gladly did. They agreed then that for the sake of the wards Harry would live there with them Monday to Thursday and from Friday to Sunday he'd be with Sirius. This way he could have the life he'd always wanted to and would be able to recharge the safety wards as well. Vernon was so ill at that time that he would have in all honesty agreed to anything if it got Sirius to fuck off and leave him alone. Once they were done with the clothing shopping and Harry was wearing his new robes they went for ice cream something Harry had rarely eaten. He was living with Sirius what they'd always said they wanted the last time and it felt wonderful. He was so content. They spent the day picking out furniture for Harry's new room and Harry was shocked to discover he actually had taste and that there were things he definitely didn't like. He had gotten plenty of silk sheets which felt divine against his skin when he'd touched it. It was something luxurious he'd never had and he was loving it. They'd then gone for Indian food in a restaurant owned by the Patil family in Horizont Alley. Horizont Alley was the poshest place in magical Britain.
As Harry ate his first curry loving the flavours exploding all throughout his palate he thought some more about the house he wanted to go into at Hogwarts. Ravenclaw had never abandoned him like Gryffindor had. Gryffindor had turned their backs too easily on him never saying sorry when it was proven every time that he'd been right. He'd always been right yet no one in Gryffindor ever said I'm sorry we were all jerks. He felt in Ravenclaw he could institute the most change. As things with the diary would not happen his parseltongue ability would never be exposed. At the end of the meal Sirius looked far too excited and Harry worried he might be about to get pranked. In all honesty he wasn't in the mood to be pranked.
"Harry last night I went to see your relatives as you slept. We arranged it so that every Friday to Sunday you'll live with me and Mondays to Thursdays you'll live with them. This keeps their wards charged and you both get a break. Vincent or whatever his name is was so sick that they'd have agreed to anything and also that's not everything. Here!" he said sliding a piece of paper across the table which Harry picked up nervously. He was utterly stunned they'd agreed to it but they'd probably thought at least he'd be away from them. He read the document at first not believing he was seeing things correctly and needing to reread it again. He saw that Sirius now looked exceptionally serious pardon the pun and was waiting with baited breath for his reaction. It was certainly not a prank. He read that he was now under the care of Sirius muggle wise. Sirius was now his muggle guardian. Harry intended to have Lord Addlemore as his magical guardian and as he himself was Lord Addlemore now it would mean he would be his own magical guardian. Dumbledore wouldn't like that but Dumbledore could go to hell for never once checking up on him. He could have but his guilt or whatever the hell he was actually feeling did not allow him to do so. As they returned home all of the new furniture and wallpaper had been put in his room and bathroom. He fell into his new silk sheets exhausted. It had been a wonderful day full of much needed bonding.
