This chapter is dedicated to my five most frequent reviewers for this story. Thank you to everyone who has reviewed this story, they really do help me write more. Anywho, special thanks go to athenakitty, opal, Wolflady, Jade Sierra Snape and uten. Just a little taste of things to come. I have decided whether Harry will stay in NY or go back, but you'll have to wait and see!

Chapter 11

"Good morning and welcome. This flight is from London to New York, estimated time of arrival is currently 1pm New York time 1. We are currently 100 000 feet in the air and are on time. Thank you for flying British Airways and we wish you a good trip."

Harry was on the plane, but even though he hadn't put his mother's diary in with his luggage in the hold, he didn't want to read it on the plane as if it had anything magical either on or in it he might get in trouble for breaking the secrecy act. Instead he decided to watch a muggle movie; after all he hadn't really watched them before. Whenever Dudley watched one he was sent to his cupboard, as he was too freaky and unworthy to watch the same things as ickle Duddikins.

The choice of films that flight were Thunderbirds, Shrek 2, Lord Of The Rings: The Return Of The King, and A Cinderella Story. He decided he'd watch LOTR: Return of the King, after all it said it had magic in it and it would be fun to watch what the muggles thought was magic. At least he thought it would be.

After six and a half hours on a plane, Harry was pretty fed up. The film he watched were rubbish and not as fun as he thought it would be and he was totally ready to get off the plane.

"Good afternoon and thank you for flying British Airways. We are nearing New York's JFK airport and will be landing momentarily. Please make sure that all hand luggage is stowed away in the overhead compartments and your seatbelts are fastened. Current US time is 12:50 and UK time is 17:50. Once again, thank you for flying BA and we all wish you a pleasant journey on from the airport to your destinations."

Harry landed at terminal 7, gate 11, at 12:49 that day, during his flight, his father had internationally flooed over to meet Harry and knock some sense into him.

Unfortunately for Severus, he went to the wrong gate (gate 2) and completely missed Harry's arrival as he was at the other end of the terminal.


Harry, on arrival after going through customs and passport control, got a limo to his hotel, the Westin Essex house, near central park.

Severus not knowing which hotel Harry was staying at, decided to just rent a room near the entrance to Yorkers Way, the US equivalent of Diagon Alley.

Harry, after unpacking and settling into his new room, decided to firstly go to Yorkers Way to sort out where he was going to live for the rest of his school life and his money for that time.

He walked to the entrance concealed in one of the New York Subways (I tell you where, but I'd have to kill you after!) and tapped his wand against the artwork in front of the entrance. After the wall moved, Harry walked inside and just as in Diagon Alley, walked over to the other end, where Gringotts was.

Severus had just got to his hotel, but was severely tired after flooing and so he decided that as Harry probably wouldn't go to Yorkers Way yet, because of jet lag, he'd have a nap to tide him over until that night when he could have a proper sleep.

During this time, Harry had been to Gringotts and had got the keys to his new house and taken out 500,000 galleons to use to furnish his house.


Thanks for reading, please now go and review, your reviews really do help me to write more often for longer.
