I just wanted to say that my new laptop will be shipped on March 7, so only one and half weeks left, before I can beginning working on the story and updating regularly.
********the Dursley's**************************************************************************************
Harry walked up to the door and walked into the house. "Aunt Petunia." Harry shouted.
"What are you doing here, freak?" She entered from the kitchen doorway.
"Is Uncle Vernon or Dudley home?" Harry shrunk back a little.
"Vernon is at work, Dudley is upstairs." She glared.
Harry shouted for Dudley who came down the stairs. "What is going on?"
"We need to talk." He only focused on Dudley. "It has recently come to my attention that my grandparents were both squibs, which means they contain a little bit of magic but not enough to be a full witch or wizard and there is a possibly that you and your mother are the same. There is a test that confirm the status."
Harry moved to the kitchen table. He finally looked at his aunt. "Do you remember if your parents ever talked about any witch or wizard visiting your family when you and my mother were little?"
Petunia was still stunned but thought carefully. "I do not remember them saying anything; however, I know that they were not surprised that Lily was a full witch."
"Would you be willing to be tested? I would not put it past Dumbledore to have done something especially, since your mother was the twin sister to Voldemort's mother." Harry kept looking at them.
"I am willing to be tested." Dudley answered stepping towards the table without looking at his mother.
"This is Griphook. He is a goblin and my account manager. He will explain what you need to do." Harry had a feeling and hoped that he was wrong as he remembered back through his childhood and some of the things that he was punished for but did not remember doing. Harry watched the parchment and words began to appear.
Dudley Ian Dursley
Born: June 21, 1980
Parents: Vernon Louis Dursley (muggle) and Petunia Lynn Dursley nee Evans (pureblood)
Inheritance: none
Bindings: magical core 100% by Albus Dumbledore
Spells: compulsion to hate magic and Harry Potter by Albus Dumbledore
"W-what does that mean?" Dudley stammered.
It was Blaise that spoke first. "It means that your mother has probably had her magic binded since she was young, so she never knew. It also means that you are a wizard yourself. You have no inheritance because Lily was older than Petunia and Harry is more powerful than you."
Harry glanced towards his aunt, who was crying silently. He could see the overwhelming guilt that had filled her. Griphook was the next to speak. "Would you like the binding and compulsions to be removed?"
However, before anyone could respond. The front door opened. "What is going on here, and who are these freaks?" Vernon walked into the kitchen. He looked around the room. He looked at Harry sitting at the table and moved towards him with his face red with anger. "What have you done now, freak? I warned you what would happen if you did anything in this house."
However, Griphook stepped in front of him and stunned him. While he was passed out, the goblin took a couple of drops of blood. It showed the same compulsions plus one to abuse Harry. The goblin quickly spoke words in Gobbledegook.
"I am beginning to wonder if Dumbledore is as dangerous as Voldemort." Harry stared down at his uncle. After several minutes, Vernon woke. Everyone sat around the table listening to the goblin explain what has happened. Guilt filled the room so thick that could be cut through with a knife.
"Meddling old fool. I will show him what happens for messing with my family." Vernon swore. He looked at his nephew with self-disgust. "I cannot begin to think what you may think of us. I cannot begin to apologize for everything that we have done, even after saving Dudley last summer. I believe that you were being honest in what you were saying happened."
Harry finally could not take it anymore. He broke down. He felt arms come around him. His aunt gathered him into his arms. She just held him silently. No one paid attention to the disappearance and reappearance of the goblin. No one noticed the other witch in the room. The witch coughed.
Everyone looked at the newcomer. "Madame Bones." Blaise spoke.
"Mr. Zambini. Griphook brought me here stating that there was something that I needed to know."
Draco nodded and explained what was happening. However, Harry spoke before she could respond. "Everything needs to be kept from the Ministry and Dumbledore. I am not sure what he is doing; however, I think he wants something from me."
It was a couple of hours later. Madame Bones rose from the table. "You, three, need to return to school. I am sure that your absence has been noticed. I will get started on setting the two of them up with wands and tutoring once the bindings have been removed. I will connect the fireplace to the floo network with a password. The goblins will place additional wards including the Fiedlus Charm with Harry as the Secret Keeper."
Harry shuffled his feet as he began to leave and then stopped. "Can the Fiedlus Charm be broken on Grimuald Place?"
"Yes." Griphook responded.
"I would not recommend doing that it. The knowledge of Privet Drive will disappear from all that are not allowed by the Secret Keeper to know. So, Dumbledore will know that something has happened. You do not want to reveal too much."
"The cursebreaker is here." Griphook stated.
Harry walked outside, and then looked at Griphook. "You chose Bill Weasley. You know the Weasley's are loyal to Dumbledore."
Griphook smiled. "Mr. Weasley is a Gringotts employee and under a Wizard Oaths not to reveal Gingotts secrets."
Harry narrowed his eyes. "I have heard him tell stories about his job and what he has done in Eygpt."
"Awe, but those are not Gringotts secrets. You have become a special case. I did not choose Mr. Weasley. The chief goblin chose him. We must move quickly, because you must return back to the school."
Bill looked at Harry. "Do you want everyone here automatically keyed into the wards?"
"Yes. Blaise and Draco are my bondmates. It would be a good idea to have someone from the Aurors to know my location. Can we talk later?" Harry watched as Bill went to work on the wards. He thought about their room at Hogwarts. "Griphook, can you get into Hogwarts?"
"Yes, why?"
Harry forgot his next question. "How?"
"As being an emancipated Lord, I have the right to go to Hogwarts at any time to discuss your accounts."
"Ah. I was wondering if you can come and see if can detect and charms for listening, tracking and or compulsions."
"We can in a few days. We do not want tip our hand. Do you want me to inform your solicitor of what has happened?" Harry only nodded his agreement.
Soon, Bill indicated that he was done. "It is time that we get going." Madame Amelia Bones looked at the boys. She looked at the Dursleys. "I will be returning in a few days to take you to Diagon Alley. I am warning you now. If there is any more violence towards Lord Potter. I will not hesitate to press as many charges as I possibly can. I will also inform you that it will be Mr. Potter's choice to return here, since he has been fully emancipated in both the wizarding and muggle world. You should be receiving notification shortly about it."
"W-will you return here?" Dudley stammered.
Harry looked to them and then Blaise and Draco. Draco seemed to know what he was thinking and feeling and nodded his head. "You are aware that the wizarding world is much different than the muggle world. There is no stereotypes about same sex or multipartner marriages or bonding as they call it." Harry looked to Blaise and Draco and smiled. "Through unusual circumstances, I was bonded to these two young men, so in essence the three of us are married. I am hoping to do a formal ceremony in the future to fully acknowledge the bond. I will not return unless my husbands and I are welcomed without hostility or abuse. I will give you time to consider what all that means, and you can let me know what you will decide."
Harry looked at Griphook and Madame Bones. "I will be creating an account for them at Gringotts. I will let you know when it is created and funds are available, so you can take them to Diagon Alley. You will need to make sure that they get an owl as well, so they can communicate with me. Send the password to the floo to Griphook, who will give it to me when he comes to Hogwarts." He smiled at everyone and took Blaise and Draco's hands. "Good day." Without word or notice, they were gone.
Harry let go of the hands that he was holding. He began walking through the Shrieking Shack. He had just stepped away from the Whomping Willow when he heard his name. He stopped and turned. He looked at Blaise and Draco. "What?"
"You do know that you have apparated twice now with two people and one place has wards against apparation."
"Your point. I first apparated when I was eight trying to escape Dudley. I just did not know what it was called. However, Salazar explained it last night. It is how I knew that I could do it again." Harry shrugged his shoulders and continued walking towards the castle. He did wait to see if they were followed.
He had just reached entered the Entrance Hall when Professor McGonagall appeared. "You gentlemen are required to see the headmaster. The leaving of school grounds outside of Hogsmead weekends is prohibited."
Harry did not respond. He just walked around his Head of House and started towards the headmaster's office. He knew that Draco and Blaise were following. Harry opened the door to the headmaster's office without knocking. "I was told to come here." Harry stated in a neutral voice.
"Yes. I must inform you that you three gentlemen will be receiving detention for leaving ground without permission."
"I do not think so, headmaster. We are emancipated. I am a full Lord, now. I do not require the permission to leave the school on Lordship business. I am not even required to notify you or any professor. Whereas, the other two are my husbands thanks to the bonding and are emancipated, as well. They do not need permission or notify anyone to accompany me on Lordship business; since they will be indirectly affected by any decisions being my husbands. However, in the future, I will give a courtesy notification of our departure to a professor of my choosing. I do have work to get caught up on, so good evening."
Harry did not wait for a reply. He turned and left the office. He walked straight to their rooms. He bypassed his friends without saying a word. He quickly entered their room. He laid down on the couch and closed his eyes. He did not open his eyes as Blaise and Draco entered the room. He briefly heard Ron screeched as the door was closed in their face.
"It has been a very…"
Harry quickly cut Draco off. "Shh. I am trying to sleep." He sat up and wrote on a piece of parchment and handed it to Draco. Do not say anything. We do not know if Dumbledore or anyone is listening. We have already said too much in here in the past. Till Griphook comes, I would suggest all important conversations take place in the Room of Requirement, Founders' Tower or Chambers of Secrets.
Draco read it and passed it Blaise. "Of course, I would not want to interfere with the sleep of the great Harry Potter."
