Harry Potter the Founders Heir
CHAPTER TWO-
Scraps of Metal
Work at the factory was tiring, repetitive and surprisingly freeing. Harry loved the freedom been away from his uncle, aunt and even the wizarding world gave him. He didn't know what it was that made it so but there was something validating about it. Harry didn't actually get paid for his efforts as his uncle pocketed his earnings as the money was put directly in his banking account as Harry did not have his own in the muggle world. Harry however was not after monetary reward as he already had more then enough gold in his Gringott's vault and this job would have earned him little more then enough to keep a church mouse alive. The fact he was profiting from Harry made uncle Veron less testy and demanding and life at the Dursley's was slowly getting better for Harry and he felt himself relax into a daily routine which meant waking at five in the mourning to run the five miles at ever fastening speeds till it took only 20minutes in cold early morning sun. His job started at 6o'clock in the morning and went till 3 in the afternoon- it was backbreaking labour but Harry revelled in it.
Due to Harry's hard labour and decent diet (his aunt allowed him to take as much food as he wanted from the fridge each morning) his body was been transformed even more then it had been after the yard work. He had grown another two inches and now stood at 6'2, his skin was no longer translucently pale which made him look less of a ghost and finally he had built up strong wiry muscle. He was looking more and more like his father had at his age and this both saddened and delighted him. How he wished his parents where still around.
The people at the factory were kind and made up of varying sorts of men. None them hid their dislike of their boss (Veron Dursley) who sprung surprise inspections on them every couple of weeks for as long as any of them could recall. They felt sorry for Harry having to live with the man and mothered him as you would not expect a group of grease covered workers to do.
Harry had wondered why he hadn't been removed from the Dursley's care yet as a month had already past which was essential for his protection but the truth was he was glad, as he didn't want to spend anytime in Sirius' old house on Grimald place, at least not yet, he wasn't ready and didn't think he would be for quite sometime. He also wondered why he had received no gifts on his birthday some weeks ago, not that he was particularly interested in them but he still wondered why his friends had ignored the occasion. He was writing them letters to which they replied to but they seemed more dry and untelling, they were hiding something. He could now tell they were together.
Two weeks before the new Hogwarts year was due to start Harry received a letter from Albus Dumbledore to tell him that he would be taken to Hogwarts early and that he would be picked up the next week at 3o'clock in the afternoon. The letter would not tell why Harry was going and his letters since gave him no explanation, nor even a reply. Harry gave notice to both uncle Veron and the factory that he would not be returning to work the next week, his uncle hardly reacted to this news but his workmates said they would miss him and insisted on giving him a gift. Their gift, though not expensive, was heartfelt and Harry loved it, it was a tin lunch pail (they had laughed at the ratty plastic bag he had carried his food in), they also gave him a hardhat they had signed with their well wishes. He would miss them
While waiting for Dumbledore to show up the Dursley's all hung around, even uncle Veron who had come home from work after lunch to make sure his home was not destroyed by invading wizards. At precisely 3o'clock there was a knock on the door and Harry went to answer. It was Dumbledore in a highly fashionable and expensive muggle suit and a ministry car, not unlike a limo was sitting outside. The Dursley's did not know what to think, neither did Harry but for a completely different reason. He never imagined Dumbledore ever changing his ways, he saw him as a constant and seeing him change his appearance to please his unimportant muggle relatives was off putting to say the least. Harry did not want to imagine Dumbledore not being as he has always been and although he knew Dumbledore was old and somewhat frail neither could he imagine him dieing.
Before Dumbledore had chance to say a word Harry picked up his trunk and started moving towards the car where an attendant was waiting to place it in the boot. Dumbledore followed after giving a welcoming comment to the Dursley's to which they made no reply being almost comatose after the shock they had suffered. When they both were seated into the luxurious car, which was even bigger on the inside then it appeared on the outside, Harry started a heated rant about what had been going on in the wizarding world and why he had not been informed while in his 'exile' and why had he not received his school letter or OWL results.
Dumbledore made little response to Harry's accusations and replied saying 'we will be going into muggle London and Diagon Alley to do some shopping'. Nothing could have surprised Harry more then the prospect of shopping with Dumbledore, especially in the muggle world were people were sure to think he- the teenager with straggly clothes and the well dressed elderly man- Dumbledore were part of a gay relationship were Dumbledore played the part of a sugar daddy.
And thanks to my reviewers- you inspire. Ettedanreb- I like constructive criticism
I forgot last chapter- I do not own Harry Potter and I am not as rich as the queen.
