Chapter 21: The trial

The next three days flew by in no time, and the teens spent it doing their
homework for the school year.

The four teens were sitting in the library doing their homework when Remus came
in looking rather nervous.

"Hey Moony" Harry said smiling "What's up?"

"I am afraid I am coming for business now" He said softly

"An Order meeting?"

"No. I actually need to talk to you, but I suppose your friends can hear"

"What is it?" Harry asked when Remus had seated himself,

"It is about your uncle's trial"

"What about it?" Harry practically snapped back

"It is in two days Harry. We need you to testify or else there is no case"

"Then he'll go free. I don't care" Harry said stubbornly.

"He deserves to pay for he has done" Remus tried to reason

"What about his life? I mean he has a life with the muggles. Don't you think
people will notice that he has all of a sudden disappeared"?

"Of course they noticed. They have been told that he is in jail for child
abuse"

"But if someone decides to look it up, then there will be no file"

"Sure there will be. We made one. Please just do this Harry? If not for you
then for your parents and Sirius"

Harry looked in the air and finally said, "I don't want my family life known to
the entire world thank you very much"

"It won't be. It has all been silenced, no one will know except those in the
trial room and they have been sworn to secrecy"

"B-

"But what?"

"I- You- m… Harry stammered trying to find some reason for not doing it but when
he didn't come up with one he just huffed and said, "Fine"

"Good. But there is one more thing. Remember when we went to hear Sirius's
will and you got into a fight with the minister? Yeah well, he did press charges
against you and technically, you are no longer a student at Hogwarts, and if you
are found guilty, you will go to Azkaban. Your trial is also in two days time.
Right after your uncles. And then we will really have to get going to
Gringotts to sort your finances out"

"Fine" Harry said

"Do you really think it was a good idea to anger Fudge like that? What if you
are found guilty?"

"I won't if I'll be under the effects of the Veritaserum"

"About that Harry. Since you are still not of age, you need your guardian's
permission to be able to use it. And like it or not, your guardian happens to
be Petunia"

"Oh great. So I have to go back to Hogwarts?"

"Actually she will be here tomorrow at dinner"

"Fine. So is that it?" Harry said in a much worse mood he had been in earlier

"For now yes"

"But I was wondering Remus, can we go to Gringotts tomorrow since I have a lot
of shopping to do as well since my uncle burnt all of my things" He said as Remus was about to leave.

"Sure. You want me to come with you?"

"It is either that or Dumbledore will have a lot of people follow us"

"Then I'll pick you up at ten. Be ready" Remus said before leaving

The next day the teens were ready waiting for Remus to arrive to pick them up.
When he finally came, he wasn't alone.

"Nymphy, how wonderful to see you again" Harry said cheerfully,

"How the hell did you know it was me?" Tonks asked in surprise. She looked like
she was about Remus age, with red hair, tanned, big hazel eyes and very short

"I don't know. I just knew" Harry said shrugging, "Just felt like you I guess"

"Right" Tonks said. " We have to alter your looks before we leave" Then she
muttered something and the next thing he knew his friends were laughing at him

"What?"

With a wave of Remus wand Harry was looking at himself in the mirror. His hair
was bright green, his robes were bright pink with yellow spots on it and to
cover his scar silver letters said, KICK ME

"So I take it green isn't my best color?"

"Oh, no it suits you wonderfully" Tonks said laughing.

"As much as it may do, the whole idea was to make people not notice him and I
think you did the opposite"

"Fine" Tonks muttered and took the charms off " But for the record never ever
call me Nymphy again. Now lets, see. Yes, I think blond hair, some freckles,
and blue eyes would do nicely"

Then Harry turned blond with freckles but his eyes remained the same

"What is it with your eyes? I'm sure I said the spell right," Tonks muttered

"I think this is fine. Besides, who knows about me being in a wheelchair? No
one is going to know who I am," Harry said quickly. He already guessed why his eyes wouldn't change color. He got them from his mom and since his mom was practically an elf he didn't know how they would react to anything.

"If you say so" Tonks said unsure.

Ten minutes later, four teenagers, one Angel and two Order members were standing
in Diagon Alley.

"Good day" Harry said politely to the goblin at the table

"Good day" The goblin grunted back "How may I help you?"

"Well for one, I got this letter about a vault, and I need to see it. I was also
told that I needed to come here because of my inheritance from my godfather. I
also need to make a withdrawal and change some money into muggle money"

At this the goblin perked up a bit, there were only rich people who got letter
about the vaults,

"And you would be?"

"Harry Potter" Harry whispered handing him his key

At this the goblins eyes went wide

"Ohh, since that is the case, I'll get you the goblin that is in charge of your
vaults," The goblin said and then he took the teens to an office where they met
another goblin, but this one Harry knew

"Griphook?" He asked surprised

"You remember my name? Not many wizards bother to take the trouble. But what
can I do for you Mr. Potter"

"Harry, please. But for one, I need to take care of my inheritance"

"Have a seat then" The goblin offered

"Thanks" Harry said "But I am already seated"

"Ah, yes, sorry I didn't notice. But what inheritance?"

"The one from my godfather"

"Yes that. Well sine I am your personal bank manager I took the liberty to
organize everything. All you need to do is to sign these papers"

"Thank you" Harry said signing the papers

"So would you like to see your vault?"

"That would be nice. I also need to see my other two vaults"

"Two?" Harry heard Remus mutter from behind

"I am afraid you can only enter the one from your mother side. You need to have
professor Dumbledore with you to be able to enter the other one"

"Here" Harry said handing the goblin the letter from his father.

"Very well" The goblin said when he had read the letter, and all of the sudden
Harry was very curious about what it said. "I'll take you there. Your friends
can wait here"

"No it is ok"

"All right. Please follow me then"

About ten minutes later and what seemed a much longer ride Harry and the other
teens were in front of the door watching Griphook open it.

"Wow" Harry said in awe when he saw inside it. It was a large vault. In the
corner in the deepest end, there was a huge amount of gold. The rest of the
vault was filled with, heirlooms, books and other kind of stuff.

"I'll have to go through this some other day. But Griphook, this is the Black
family vault right?"

"Yes it is"

"So I can withdraw from it right?"

"Yes you can"

"I'll just be taking few of the books" Harry said picking up few of the large
tomes and then he spotted two beautiful dagger and he also took them. Remus who
was still in shock shrunk them and then they were off, even further down.

Ten minutes later they came to the top ten most secured vaults in there. At
first Griphook opened Slytherins vault.

"This is my mothers vault right? Slytherins old one?"

"Yes"

"Then isn't Voldemorts stuff here also? I mean he is also the heir"

"No. When it was discovered that the heirs were two the vault was split in two
and the half was here and the other half on the other side.
He-who-must-not-be-named got a fair bit more than you though, because he is the
older heir, and therefore he came into his powers first"

"Wow" Ron said in awe,

"Now Mr. Potter, you are not allowed to take all you want. You can take the
books, most of the heirlooms and the furniture and portraits. The money,
alcohol you cannot touch. You can't live in your houses either and you cannot
touch your companies until you are off age. Until then it is our job" The
goblin informed

"Alright" Harry said and then he walked straight to the bookshelf and started to
pick some out and had Remus shrunk it. When he thought he had enough for now he
turned to the goblin, "My fathers vault now please."

The same went for the Gryffindor vault as for the Slytherin vault. He could not
take anything except books and heirlooms. Harry took rather more of books and
then he also took a dagger, some necklaces, rings and a box that looked
interesting.

"Is there anything else I can get for you?"

"Yes. I am planning on spending a lot of money today, both muggle and our kind.
Is there anyway I can do that without having to carry a heavy weight of cold gold?"

"As a matter of fact there is. Have you ever heard of Credit cards?"

"Yes"

"Well we have those kind. We have three different types. One where you can
only spend fifty galleons at a time, another is where you can spend 500 galleons
at a time but the third has no limitations. However, none of these cards has
the ability to change to muggle money. For that you will need a special card"

"Ok. I'll have the third type of the wizarding type and the muggle type as
well"

Few minutes later they were standing outside the bank,

"Harry, Albus is not going to like this" Rermus said still in sort of a shock. Where on earth did Harry get so much money he thought.

"I don't care. It is my money"

"And since when did you own so much money?" Tonks voiced Remus thoughts

"Since always. I just never knew it"

"I gather one of those vaults were the one from your father, therefore
Gryffindors vault, the other was Sirius, but what about the one you said was
from your mother? She was a muggle born and didn't have one." Remus said

Harry looked at Tonks and Remus,

"Ok, I know I can trust you Remus, but can I trust you Tonks? If I tell you this
will you not tell Dumbledore?"

Tonks nodded and Harry took a deep breath

"My mother isn't a muggle born. She was adopted. She comes from an old line.
There was once a witch. When she was young, she met someone and got pregnant.
That someone left her before she could tell him. Her parents threw her away but
you see this woman was to young too have a child so she gave it up. Then she
moved and later on she had another child. Her first child, was then raped. She
got pregnant and died at childbirth. So that child was given to a nice family.
That child was my mother. The second child, fell in love also at a young age
and got pregnant. She told the father she was a witch and he wanted nothing
more to do with her so she left with her child since her mother had died. She
also died at childbirth and her child grew up at an orphanage and later grew up
to be the most feared wizard of all times. Lord Voldemort"

Tonks and Remus gaped

"So you are telling me that Voldemort is your nephew and that you are also the
heir of Slytherin?" Tonks finally asked

"Yes" Harry shrugged

"So where to now?" Mione asked ignoring the faces of Tonks and Remus. She really wasn't in a good mood this day.

"Well first off we need to buy the normal school stuff"

It was a busy day at the bookshop and the teens had a bit of a trouble entering.
Apparently, some famous witch was giving autographs

"Why don't we just come later then?" Mione suggested

"That sounds like the best option" Harry agreed "What about we start with the
muggles"

Harry who never had been shopping in the muggle world before had no idea where
to go to buy some clothes so Mione had to advise him to the best shop.

"Excuse me" Harry said to the man who worked there

"No"

"What?" Harry said confused

"No you may not use the bathroom, now leave this is no place for poor kids"

"Fine then I'll just take my business else where" Harry snapped

"Business? You're just a kid, and a poor one at that, what on earth do you think
you could buy here anyway?"

"I'm not poor thank you very much" Harry said "I could easily buy this shop and
still have enough left for lunch

The man looked at Harry doubtfully but nodded anyway, "If that is the case I
apologize. Let me just get our stylist"

When he finally came back with a stylist the stylist just looked at Harry like
he was a monster

"Oh god what are you wearing? You need a make over hon and you are definitely in
the right spot. I'm Oliver by the way"

"Harry, Harry Potter" Harry said blushing a bit and looking down at the ground

"Well what can I do for you then? Please tell me you are getting rid of that?"

"I am. I need a whole new wardrobe, I'm getting rid of all my old stuff"

"We have a lot of work to do so lets get started shall we?"

So, for the next two hours the stylist, Ginny, Tonks and Mione, were torturing
Harry. The man had Harry try out almost the entire store and when he finally
left; he had six jeans, two black, one gray and one dark blue and two dark
green. He had two tracksuits, one black and one dark green, three pair of shorts,
black, red and blue. He also bought, four normal long sleeved sweaters, each
the same just in different colors. Black, gray, green and blue. He bought
three sweaters for the winter, one black with a green dragon on it, which was in
flames, one black with a lion on and one green with pair of eyes on. And
somehow, the stylist had convinced Harry to buy eleven t-shirts, each with a
different logo or picture. And the stylist had also had Harry buy three none
sleeved t-shirts, which he could use to work out in as well as some shirts. One
black made from velvet one white and one forest green also made from velvet.
Harry also bought a tie and a toxin, a rain outfit, a more winter kind of
jacket, leather jacket, boots, sneakers to run in, and just the normal everyday
shoes. After that, he bought some underwear and ton of shocks. So Harry left
the store much poorer then he had been when he had entered it

"Man I didn't know clothes cost that much" Harry complained

"They normally don't but you were just in the most expensive and high fashion
store in all London" Mione said

"Ohh, well then there are the wizarding clothes" Harry said brightly before
stepping inside Madam Malkins

"Good day, Hogwarts?" She asked

"Yes" Harry said

"Good, now how many do you need?"

"Oh about three or four I guess" Harry shrugged

"And anything else" The lady asked when she had packed it all

"Yes, I would like two robes for each of us teens that can be used when we are
working out or training" Harry asked politely

"Of course. We have two different choices. One is just like with the muggles
but with a robe following. Then we have the wizarding type but that is much
more expensive. It is made of a magical material and is light as a feather and
very cool to touch, it is also very strong even if it so light, it defends the
easiest curses, nothing heavy or powerful but just the normal everyday curses
mainly. And if you are practicing with daggers and swords and such, you
can buy extra charms so it will not harm when you are hit"

"That sounds like the better option anyway. I'll get two for each of that"

"They are very expensive sir," The woman said kindly

"And I am very rich" Harry said smiling

"Alright, in what color, we have gold, silver, baby blue, baby pink, gray and
green"

"I'll have two green for me and what do you guys want"

"Harry, I don't want you to buy me anything" Mione tried to protest

"Mione, this is for the training, so I'm buying, now pick a color or I will"

"Fine, silver please"

"Er, just blue for me" Ron said shrugging

"And pink for me then"

"And two gray in his size" Harry said pointing at Ron,

"Why?" Remus asked

"Oh, we have another friend who will be joining us soon"

The woman nodded curtly and went to get the robes. When she returned she had
eight packages, "Anything else sir?"

"Well, my dress robe is getting rather small I guess I need another one" Harry
said

"The dress robe section is there," The woman said pointing at the corner

"Thank you ma'am"

Five minutes later Harry had returned to the table with two dress robes that
Ginny and Mione had picked. One was black with a golden dragon on and a gold
trimming. It was a high collar robe and it was made of silk. The other one was
cotton and was forest green and had a silver trimming

"That will be 294 galleons sir," The woman said not believing the boy could
afford it

"Here you go ma'am. It was nice doing business with you"

"So where to now?"

"I need a new trunk" Harry said and walked to the antique store and entered

"This is no place for kids to play at," The clerk man snapped

"I am a customer actually, but if I am to young then I can take my business
elsewhere" Harry said annoyed at the man

"Oh, in that case I am sorry. It is just that these kids often come here to
play and this isn't a playground, but how may I help you?"

"I am looking for a new trunk. And not just the normal school trunk, I know I
can get that in the trunk store. I'm looking for something that can last me
longer, and is good to travel with if you have to go quickly but it can't be too
small or too big"

"It sounds like you need one of those aurors trunks but just a bit modified but
I can't sell those unless you are one. So why don't you come here in back and
take a look at what I've got"

The man had many different trunks; some you could live in some were way too
small. Then Harry saw an interesting trunk. It was a green trunk, and it was
marked with the letters Longbottom on it

"Who owns that trunk?" Harry asked curiously

"That belongs to the Longbottom family. There is one for each pureblood family.
There are only few who have never bothered to come and collect theirs. Mainly
light wizards"

"Why wouldn't light wizards bother?"

"Because it is a high security trunk. Every light pureblood wizard that is need of a security trunk usually is an auror or an unspeakable and therefore they receive special trunks so they don't need these. Dark wizards however often need theirs to hide all kinds of dark things"

"High security how?" Harry asked interested

"You can't enter unless you state your name and give a handprint and a password. And then you can let few people you trust the most gain access also. They however cannot access it with out an example of your blood. It has five compartments. The first three compartments are the same size. Just at the normal trunk size, the fourth compartment is bigger just by a little and the fifth is a room. It isn't a very big room, only like the average classroom is. The fifth compartment has an extra security measure. There is an eye scan, and a second password as well. You can enter the third password if you want and you can also enter the second if you want to the other compartments. But I am not authorized to sell these trunks to anyone who hasn't got the family name"

"Do you still have the Potter trunk, or the Black trunk?"

"That is classified information sir"

"What if I had one of these names," Harry said coolly

"Then you could know, but you don't have these names. There is only one Potter
living and you are not him, and there is only one Black living and you are
neither him"

"Why couldn't I be Potter or a Black?" Harry asked curious

"Harry Potter isn't in a wheelchair, nor is he blond with freckles and he has a
scar on his forehead. How dare you say you are the boy-who-lived" The man said
shocked at the boys nerve

"Because I am. I am Harry James Potter, and I am in a wheelchair, and I have blond hair as well. Do you have a problem with that"

"Prove it" The man said

Harry glared at the man but then he showed him his scar

"Oh holy mother of Merlin. I am so sorry Mr. Potter"

"It is fine. Just tell me if you have the Potter or Black trunks," Harry said

"I have the Potter trunk but the Black trunk is classified. I'm sorry" The man almost said in a pleading voice

"But there is no Black left of the noble line of Black, so who can know?"

"Of course there is, that piece of filth that calls himself a man, that Sirius
Black"

Harry had to focus very hard to stay calm before speaking up

"It hasn't been made public yet? Well then, you will just be honored by knowing
first, but this cannot leave this room. Sirius Black is dead"

"Nonsense, of course he didn't die"

"Yes he did, I saw it with my very own eyes. He was murdered little over a
month ago"

"H-how do you know?"

"I just told you, I saw it. I suppose it will all be in the papers soon" Harry
sighed

"Now since all of the Black family are dead, you can't sell the trunk anyway so
why can't you just tell me if it is here or not? I won't tell anyone if you
won't" Harry said sweetly

"Well I suppose it wouldn't hurt, especially if the bastard is dead. No the
trunk is not here. It hasn't been here for sixty years"

"Alright then I'll just have the Potter trunk"

"Yes sir" The man said and then he disappeared over the corner to get it, when
he returned he placed it down in front of Harry and told him to touch it where
the picture of the hand was. Harry did and he could feel a tinglish feeling in
is hand when the trunk scanned it

"State your name"

"Harry James Potter"

A pip could be heard from the trunk

"That means it is wrong. You are Harry Potter right?"

"Yes I am. Wait a second maybe I should name my house too. Harry James Potter,
Dumbledore, Gryffindor"

"Great, it worked, and now you have to choose a password. I'll just step away
for a minute then so you can decide, you say it out loud"

"Ok, but my friends can stay"

"It is up to you"

When the man had left Harry thought for a minute before saying "Tom Marvalo
Riddle"

"Why did you choose that?" Ron asked

"Because almost no one knows his real name and even those few who did, why would
they suspect that was my password?"

"That's kind of smart" Mione said approvingly

"Mr. Er, I don't know your name, I'm done" Harry yelled

And the man was back there in a minute

"Ahh, yes then there is just the extra wards on the fifth compartment, just put
your eye in front of the glass over there" The man pointed out

"Good, now to allow access to someone else you have to wave your wand like this"
The man said and then he did some sort of complicated movement, "Then you have
to repeat what you just did and then you will just have to let the other person
you want access to repeat it and then you to the wand movement again and that is
it. Now is there anything else I can do for you?"

"No thank you, this will be all"

"Alright, that will be 245 galleons, oh and to shrink it you just say shrink"

"Alright, thank you" Harry said turning to leave with his new trunk in his
pocket "Oh, and don't ever, dare insult my late god-father ever again" Harry
said to the man before he left.

"Ok, next will be the jewelry store. I need to buy a watch," Harry said

"After you my kind sir" Mione joked

The store was huge, as it was one of the best in diagon Alley, it also smelled
like cherry perfume and Harry guessed that it was a woman working

"How may I help you?" She asked

"I'm looking for a watch," Harry said politely

"Of course, let me just show you our most popular choices"

But Harry didn't see anything he really wanted. He hadn't seen many magical
watches over his life but he thought they were neat and he wanted one. But the
watches the lady was showing him seemed to be the normal kid stuff. Harry
looked around the store and saw a beautiful watch in a cabin behind the counter

"How bout that watch ma'am? Can I please see it?" Harry said looking at it

"That is no toy, and it is very, very expensive watch"

"Why do people always say that? I would still like to see it thank you very
much"

"Fine" The woman huffed and then she showed it to him

It was a beautiful golden watch and there was a phoenix engraved on it. And when
Harry opened the watch and it looked almost like a normal watch. But in the
middle next to the things that point on the numbers was something that looked
like a short black line

"What's this?"

"You can put a name of a person in your family there and if you press on it you
get information on that person including , but that same person must own
something that connects him with the watch"

"Is there only possible to put one person in it?"

"No you can put up to six persons there"

"Ok, but isn't there anything else magical about the watch?"

"Sure, it starts glowing blue when dark creatures are near you, it has a charm on
it so it doesn't break, it is waterproofed but that's about it. It mostly just
tells time"

"Then why is it so expensive? I mean it is made of gold and it is stunningly
beautiful but is that the only reason?"

"No, it used to belong to one of the founders, that Gryffindor or what ever"

"You were in another house?"

"I never went to Hogwarts. I was in another, smaller school here in Britain,"
The woman said smiling slightly. The woman was very pretty, she was blond, with
medium length hair, and looked like she could be eighteen

"Oh, is it long since you finished school?" Harry asked interested

"No, just a little over year actually, I'll be nineteen in three months. My
name is Cindy by the way"

"I'm Harry and they are, Ron, Mione, Ginny, Angel, Remus and Nymphy. But about
the watch is that the only thing?"

"I don't know anything more about it, but what I've told you really. Maybe my
dad knows, he owns the store but he isn't here right now. They say though that
the true heir is the only one who can find out it real mysteries"

(That is not true) Someone said in Harry's head and Harry who had forgotten the
people in his head yelped but when his friends and Cindy were staring at him
like he had two heads, he blushed and looked down

(What the hell is the matter with you?) He asked

(Nothing, it's not my fault you forget everything. But ask her how the watch
got there. I remember it. It was my favorite. My mother used to have it before
me, and her father before that and so on)

(Really?)

(Yes, but I think you should speak, everyone are looking at you strangely)

"Ah, er, so how did it end up here?"

"My father bought it of some street dealer in America but I don't know how he
got it"

(America?) Harry asked

(I don't know how it got there) Godric said

"How do we know it really is his watch?" Ron asked

(Is it?)

(Yes)

(Ok, but what is the thing with the whole true heir thing?)

(That is a load of crap. Every Gryffindor can tap it and say invisible and then
he turn's invisible, but then it's just the fact that it starts glowing blue
when something evil is somewhere near you) Godric said

(Not when dark creatures are near you?)

(No, just when something evil is there. Like the dark mark or something
similar)

"Ok, I'm going to take it" Harry said

"It costs 495 galleons," The woman just said

"Here you go. It was nice meeting you and have a good day," Harry said paying
and leaving with out another word

"Er Harry didn't she say you have to have something connecting to the watch so
you can have someone on it" Remus said

"Something that Gryffindor used to have should be enough" Harry just said

"But how do you know it really was his?"

"I asked him" Harry just said, "Now, I have bought my clothes, watch and trunk.
I still have few things to do. I need to go in knockturn Alley now" Harry said

"But Harry we can't do that, are you mental. People could know us" Tonks yelled

"They won't, just put these on" Harry said throwing to them black robes with
hoods on. And so seven black hooded persons entered the forbidden Alley. Once
there Harry looked around himself. It looked even more forbidding than last
time he was there. The reason was probably Voldemort. Now since he was back
people weren't as afraid as before to show their true color.

"What are we doing here anyway Harry?" Remus whispered

"I am looking for number 32" Harry just said

The five teens stopped in front of it and looked at the window. It didn't look
like the store parents would go to with their children to buy something nice
that was for sure.

The store was called something strange and Harry couldn't pronounce it even. It
was foreign that was for sure.

"What is this place?" Ron whispered

"Welcome to my shop" Harry said stepping inside

"Yes?" A creepy old man asked, "What do you children want in here?"

"I am no child, I wish to do some business here. I need some animals that are
not easy to get and I was told this was the best place. Just out of curiosity
what is your specialty?"

"Do you take me for a fool? You could be a spy for the ministry. And besides
everything here is perfectly legal"

"I have no doubt it is" Harry said staring at something that looked unnervingly like a human eye "But I want to speak with the owner. NOW"

The store man looked at Harry but not seeing him because of the hood before
dashing behind and then returning with a much younger looking female, but she
didn't look any more kind.

"Are you the owner?"

"I am the manager. What do you want?"

"I said I wished to talk to the owner"

"The owner is not here. He never is so you can leave and not come back"

"I am not leaving until you get him for me"

"I don't know who the owner is, I have never seen him" The woman snapped at him

"Then how can you be the manager? Doesn't the owner have to hire you?"

"Like I said the owner is not here, he is under age so the store is run under
the bank and therefore follows their laws until the real owner is of age and
until then the ministry can't touch this place" The woman growled

"I don't work for that place called ministry, how dare you offend me like that
woman? I came here looking for business. Like I said to this man, I need a few
things that are not easy to get, a friend pointed this place out, and I was curious what your specialty is"

The woman looked over Harry for a few minutes before saying, "We don't have a
special area, we sell things people have trouble getting. Most of the things
here are very rare and very, very expensive. More I am not saying until you
lower your hood"

"It is not common that a man does not want his face to be seen here. Now onto
what I was going to buy, I need a phoenix"

"A phoenix? Are you mad, they are almost extinct and they are light"

"And I need one, is this perhaps to much for you?"

"No, but at the moment I am not sure I've the bird. I have three unidentified eggs however.

(Ask to see them, maybe we can see) Finn said

"Can I see them please?"

The woman eyed Harry strangely before going behind getting the eggs followed by
the man

"Harry what are you doing?"

"Buying a phoenix"

"B-

"No buts Mione, I am buying it, and few other things"

The woman returned before Mione could respond

"I don't know why you wanted to see them, no one can figure these things out
since late Master Finn was around"

"You've heard of Finn?" Harry asked in surprise

"Of course I have, he was the greatest animal specialist ever born. Anyway, we
are rather sure this is a dragon egg, the other two we are not sure of. This
one here looks a lot like a phoenix egg but it is to long and to shiny to be
one, and then there is the fact that every phoenix egg is red, not white with
gold spots on"

"Hmmm" Harry said

(Ask for more details)

"What do you know about them?"

"Well, the dragon egg is from Egypt, that's why we weren't so sure if it was a
dragon or not because there have not been dragons there for hundreds of years,
the white and golden one is from China and the other one is from Greenland. It
is also very rare that phoenixes are found in China. The last phoenix from
there was for about 1600 years ago, and it was no ordinary phoenix. Normal
phoenixes are extremely rare and only rich and powerful wizards have them.
There are about known four phoenixes now, and therefore probably about 10 that
really do exist. The one that used to live in China in the old days are even
rarer. Much more rare. When there were about forty normal over the last two
century there were only five of the golden ones. They haven't been seen in a
long time though, the last time one was spotted, it was 1600 years ago and then
it was by a crazy muggle. There is not much to say about the golden phoenixes,
no one has touched one except Master Finn and he is long dead. The only thing
about them in history books is written by him. It isn't much because no one has
ever owned one. Not that is known of anyway. And the third egg, well the only
thing I know about that is that it is the first egg to be found in Greenland
since the time of the founders. I think it is a snake because they are one of
the few things that live in the cold there. But I am not sure" The woman said

"Ok" Harry said (So Finn what do you think?)

(I think you should buy the golden egg, I am sure it is a phoenix. Maybe a
golden phoenix at that. I can't be sure; I never saw an egg, only a grown one.
But it is true, even at my time they were so extremely rare that they thought
they were dead.)

(But I thought they were always reborn)

(They are, but they still die someday. At first they have their flaming day
about once a year, or so, until finally there is only a less then than a minuet minute
between the flaming days and then they burn but never wake up)

"So sir, have you made up your mind?"

"Yes, I am going to buy the golden and white egg"

"Very well sir, is there something else?"

"Yes, I need a snake as well. I don't want a deadly snake that could
accidentally kill all of the students at school," Harry said

"So you are still at school? We only have rare animals here so whatever is in
that egg and what ever snake you might buy it is going to attract some attention
and it better not come back here" The woman snarled

"I have no wish for this place to shut down. But onto the snake, I don't want a
deadly one but not a harmless one either. And it has to be loyal"

"Well we have four at the moment. We have one from Hawaii-

"There are snakes there?" Harry asked surprised

"Like I said, we deal with rare things. But anyway, this snake is not large or
fat; you could easily hide him around your neck or arm. But he is very
colorful. When he bites, the victim falls asleep. It depends on how hard he
bites. He usually just bites in self-defense. If he just bites normally, the
victim should be asleep for about three hours. However the snake can also spit
poison through his teeth, it is not deadly, it only makes the victim sleep harder,
sometimes it is too much and it is not possible for the victim to wake up ever
again. Then I also have another snake, about the same size, that one is from
Africa. It is not as colorful and it blends in the environment. That snake
also has a gift. But it is a peacemaker and doesn't use it a lot. When a
person is bitten by the snake it works a lot as if the person was drunk but no
one really knows what is happening. The person begins by feeling a little dizzy
and lightheaded. Then he passes out and when he wakes up again he will be
paralyzed for a while. It depends on the strength of the person. Then the
person will continue to feel sick for a few more days or weeks, it depends on
how powerful the person is. It is a long progress, but it works well because
after few weeks, the victim will have no magic left. And after the theory by
Master Jacky a magical being cannot survive without magic and a witch or a
wizard are magical so it will only be a matter of time until it dies. However
there is an antidote, the bite or the poison can not be tracked, but it is still
there, the only way it can be cured is if you make the antidote and inject it
from the exact spot and the person was bitten by. However even if the person is
to have the antidote the person will most likely never have the same power
again. There haven't been that many people bitten so there isn't much to do any
research on. I have read though that you can never get all of your powers
again, and in one known case the person lost their magic all together. But the
antidote is lost. And I don't know of many who can create the potion. No one in
fact. The other two snakes are both large and deadly. One is not very loyal
and bites whenever she feels like; the other one is extremely loyal and bites
whoever she feels is threatening her master. That is not good if you don't want
anyone dead at your school. Because she takes her job seriously. Both snakes
are deadly." The woman explained

"What about the egg? If there is a snake?"

"I don't know. And there is no one that does, unless you can find a snake
expert that has lived in Greenland over the last 1000 years"

"Hm, well out of the four snakes I like the two first ones so I'm going to get
them"

"Alright then. Something else?"

"Just one more thing, do you own something that can allow us to do magic with
out that stupid ministry or Dumbledore seeing?"

"We have a potion yes. It is the antidote, not many people know it exists
really. Most who do are long time over in school"

"Antidote?"

"Yes, every time a magical person is born they are given a potion, it works for
about three years, and then they are given it again. Muggle-borns don't know
about magic so they don't need one until they start school. It is used in every
school in the world. The ministry provides the potion."

"So what school year are they giving in?"

"The first, third, and sixth, they are just given the antidote in the feast"

"That means that we get a new potion this year. That means we will have to come
back next year," Harry said

"No, you can do magic out of school after your sixth year Harry" Mione said

"So it is Harry then? Well, even if you can do magic it is still tracked. There
are of course many ways of tracking magic but the potion is easiest"

"As long as they don't see what kind of magic I am doing I really don't care"
Harry said.

"So it's one egg, two snakes and one vial of the antidote, anything else
perhaps?"

"Actually I want, five vials but other then that it is fine for now thank you"

"Right now lets se, one vial, 100 galleons, each snake 500 galleons, and the
egg. I don't know what the egg is; normally a phoenix costs over 1000 galleons
but sine since I don't know what it is I'll let it go on 600 galleons. So that will
be 2600 galleons please"

"Yes ma'am" Harry said handing her the card and placing the animals in his new
trunk before shrinking it again. The vials however were put straight to use

"Here goes nothing," Harry said before gulping it all down. It felt ice cold
and reminded him on the potion he drank in his first year

"Are you ok Harry?" Ginny asked

"I'm fine, it's just cold, now lets see if this works shall we" Harry said,
"Windgaridum Leviosa" And up went the nearest vase

"Are you mad Harry, what if it didn't work, you would be expelled"

"No I wouldn't, the old goat would dare expel me" Harry said coolly

"That is nice to know, but if you try to use magic on my things ever again you won't live to find out if that excuse for a headmaster will expel you or not. Not that he will for the underage of magic because he doesn't know of it. I may not sell very legal things but I sell them fair and honestly. I give people what they pay for"

"I drank the stuff didn't I?"

"Anyway we have to go guys, it is almost dinner and I'm not done yet"

"Fine" Ginny said shaking a bit after the potion

The next stop was the pet shop on Diagon Alley where Harry bought snake food,
owl food, two perches and two cages for the snakes.

"Where to now?"

"I only have our school supplies left, oh and I was going buy me some new
glasses and contacts and maybe have a hair cut but I guess that can wait for a
while"

Even if there was much lesser to do then before at the bookshop there was still
a fair bit of people there. The teens split up to buy their school supplies and
met back up at the counter.

"Why did you buy so many books Harry?" Mione asked when they were buying their
potion supplies,

"I thought it would be better if I owned every book we have used, and since my
uncle burned mine I bought all the books from first year up to sixth year and
few extra that looked promising"

"I forgot about your uncle burning all your books. Sorry" Mione said

"It's ok"

The last shop for the day was the glasses shop. First Harry bought a new pair
of slim, silver glasses and then he bought contacts so he didn't need to worry
about his glasses breaking in battles or anything like that.

"I think it is time to head back now" Harry said

"That is the best idea you have had today" Mione huffed.

Back at the HQ, it was hectic. Apparently many people were coming to dinner,
and among them sadly were Petunia and Snape.

Harry put his things in his room and slowly went back down to eat. Harry was
feeling very uncomfortable, for he hadn't been around so many people in so small
space for a long time.

The whole Weasley clan was there, Dumbledore, Moony, Moody, Poppy, Tonks, Mrs.
Figg, Kingsley, Mundugus, Snape, Mcgonagall, Flitwick, Sprout and lastly Petunia
were also all there.

"Ahh Mr. Potter. What a surprise to see you here. How are you?" Sprout said,
"I trust you have finished all your homework"

"No. I just started professor" Harry said softly seating himself next to his
friends

"I see" The old lady said disapprovingly "How did you do on your owls?"

"Fine I guess. I got 13 Owls"

"That is fantastic, congratulations Mr. Potter"

"Thank you professor" Harry said quietly

"It seems all three of you did wonderful" The charm professor said

"I guess so" Harry said sulkily

Utter silence was at the table as everyone were trying to hear what Harry was
saying.

"So why are you here Mr. Potter?"

"I own this house" Harry just said not bothering with the formalities,

"You do?" Sprout said rather shocked

"Yes"

"I thought you lived with your muggle relatives in the summer"

"I did. And now I live here"

"I see" The Hufflepuff head of house said, seeming to see that this was a touchy
subject

"But what are you doing here professor?"

"They were joining the order along with other people and I offered them to stay
for dinner"

"How nice of you headmaster" Harry said dryly

"He knows about the order?"

"Yes he does"

"It is after all his house" the charms master said

"It wasn't before. I just inherit it about four days ago"

"Oh. I'm sorry for your loss"

"Do you even know who had it before me?" Harry asked,

"Er, no but-

"Sirius Black owned this house. This is the noble house of Black you are eating
in" Harry interrupted and he couldn't help but snort at the horrified faces on
his professors

"Oh, my" Professor Sprout finally said "Why on earth did he then give it to
you?"

"Because professor, Sirius Black was my godfather as I am sure you know since
you taught both him and my father and you knew how close they both were"

"I knew a lot of things that turned out to be not true. Just like I thought
Sirius Black was the one of the few Blacks not to turn dark"

"He was. Sirius Black never killed nobody"

The professors just stared at Harry like he was mad, not knowing what to say,

"Mr. Potter is stating the truth. Mr. Black was framed. I have known this
since Harry saved his life in his third year. Sirius lived here all last year
and was kind enough to let us use this house as head quarters for the Order"

"I don't understand Albus"

"I am sure you don't. You see Peter Pettigrew framed Sirius. Sirius was indeed
innocent of the crimes he was accused of"

"Oh my" Sprout said again,

"Which reminds me. I need my guardians approval to be able to testify under the
affects of the Veritaserum, and as it unfortunately happens to be you Petunia, so if you could write something down" Harry said coolly and surprising professor Sprout for she had no idea how Harry had been raised,

"Mr. Potter. You should show your relative a bit more respect"

"No offence professor, but what goes on between my aunt and myself only concerns
the two of us"

"Harry dear" Petunia said, "Why do you need to use this… thing and what exactly
is it"

Harry sighed, "I thought you knew I have been expelled from Hogwarts again and I
am going for trial tomorrow after the other trial where I could be sent to
Azkaban unless I use the Veritaserum which is a truth serum so I can tell the truth"

"Why do you need my permission?"

"Because if you hadn't noticed I am not of age. So could you?" Harry said rudely

"Of course Harry" Petunia said in defeat

Harry and his friends quickly excused themselves and left the table and right
away whispers could be heard.

The next day Harry was beginning to feel rather nervous. Not for his trial but
for his uncle's trial. He really didn't want to sit there in front of bunch of
people and talk about things like that

He ate breakfast quietly with the others. All of the Weasley's were coming,
Tonks, Remus, Dumbledore and Moody. Petunia however was not coming along.

When they arrived at the ministry Harry was glad to see that Remus had been
truthful and that there were no reporters there. They used the same courtroom
as Harry had used the year before. The only difference was that this time the
room wasn't so full. Although there was a small amount of people there.
Dumbledore steered Harry to the front row and it wasn't long until he could hear
the yelling from his uncle. It took three aurors keep him at bay. When Vernon
was seated in the chair in front Harry was relieved to see that he was stuck
there.

Vernon glared at Harry with so much hate that it would make Voldemort himself
proud. But Harry just looked down at the floor uncomfortably.

"Please be quiet, court is now in session" Some blonde said. And finally Harry
looked up and at right there in front of him, was the same people there had been
last year, Percy, Fudge, Bones and a young man that Harry guessed was there
instead of Umbridge.

"Mr. Dursley, you have been accused of and charged for abusing Harry James
Potter- Harry could hear soft gasps from the people behind him- Do you have
anything to say for yourself?"

"No I don't. I have done nothing wrong and I refuse to be treated like a low
life criminal" Vernon growled

"Very well. Then we can begin. Can someone please give Mr. Dursley a
Veritaserum?" Ms. Bones said

"He is a muggle Ms. Bones" A small old tired looking man said,

"And?"

"And therefore he cannot take Veritaserum"

"Why not?"

"There are protection laws against the muggles. It says I-

"Alright, I get it. Then I guess we will just have to judge if you are truthful
or not Mr. Dursley"

"You are Mr. Vernon Dursley are you not?" Fudge asked peering over his glasses

"Of course I am"

"And are you not the guardian of young Mr. Potter?"

"Yes I am"

"How long have you been his guardian Mr. Dursley?" The young man asked,

"For about fifteen years now, ever since he was one when his parents got blown
up"

"Mr. And Mrs. Potter then?"

"Yes" Vernon said with a purple face

"How are you related to Mr. Potter exactly?" Ms. Bones asked,

"I'm not. My wife, was his mothers sister"

"I see. Can you describe the relationship between yourself and Mr. Potter?"

"What is there to say? He was left on our doorstep many years back and we took
him in, fed him, clothed him, schooled him and did what every other parent does
for it's child"

"So you got along finely?"

"I wouldn't go as far as that. The kid was much too spoiled. Thought he could
have everything because he was, you know, never even said a simple thank you for
everything we did for him"

"So you didn't get along?"

"Well, I wouldn't say we were best friends but I guess we managed"

"Did you know his parents well?"

"I knew his mother a fair bit. I only saw his father once or twice"

"Is it not true you attacked Mrs. Potter once?"

"We had a fight, I got a bit out of control. I wouldn't say I attacked her"

"I see. Do you love Mr. Potter?" Ms. Bones asked looking at the fat man
sternly,

"What do you mean?" Vernon asked taken aback

"I mean do you care for Mr. Potter as much as for your own son?"

"I- Er,-

"Do you treat him as well as you do to your son?"

"I-

"Do you even consider him a part of your family?"

"Now listen here lady. I may not love him like my own, but I took care of the
boy. I did all I was told to do to keep him alive"

"So you didn't love him?"

"Not like my son no"

"But you think you took good care of him?"

"Yes"

"So you gave him everything except love?"

Vernon didn't say anything, probably because he was to afraid to burst his
bubble and start yelling at the lady. At first he had been thrilled to hear that he couldn't use that weird stuff to force him to tell the truth. He had been sure that he would be free within minutes, after all who would believe a stupid kid over him. But things didn't seem to be going according to plan.

"Hasn't it slipped your mind that every child needs love?"

"He had plenty of love. I never said I didn't love him I said I didn't love him
like my son. And my wife loved him as well" Vernon snapped before taking deep
breaths to calm him self down. It seemed that Fudge believed him but he could
see that Ms. Bones had her doubts so he had to be careful.

"Why didn't you love him as your son though?"

Vernon didn't quite seem to know what to say but he finally just said, "Well he
just wasn't like my Dudders. He always whined and complained about everything.
He never thanked us for anything we did for him and always that rudeness. It was
nearly impossible to take him with us when we went out together so most of the
time we had to have Mrs. Figg baby-sit him"

"Just one more question. Have you ever laid a hand on Mr. Potter?"

"No I have not" Not many noticed how his voice quivered there

"You see, exactly what I keep saying. The boy is nothing but full of lies.
Well I for one am terribly sorry for your troubles Mr. Dursley and we will make
this up to y-

"Minister. Just because Mr. Dursley had done his testimony we have yet to
question more people" Bones said in a bright voice

"Of course, Mrs. Bones, my mistake" Fudge said forcefully, although it was clear
to everyone he didn't like the idea much "Could Mrs. Figg please step up"

"Your full name please" Percy said speaking up for the first time

"Arabella Figg"

"What is your relation with Mr. Potter?"

"I used to baby-sit him when the rest of the family went out"

"What do you feel about him?"

"For one I think that everything Mr. Dursley just said is a load of crap thank
you very much. I have known Harry here since he was just one and I have never
seen such a sweet child before. Just damn shame what those horrid people did to
the poor lad"

"What do you mean by that?"

"They hardly fed him, all his clothes were old rags of his cousin, he –

"Do you have any evidence of that?" Fudge growled

"Well, no but-

"Then lets get back to the facts"

"Now listen here minister. That boy was mistreated. By the age he was five he
could cook me dinner. The boy never asked for anything, always said thank you
and he always seemed so surprise if I was nice to him. His aunt kept lending
him to me so I didn't have to do my chores by my self and those clothes he wore.
Dreadful. And the boy is hardly anything but skin and bones and I'll tell you
what. I never ever saw him smile until after he turned eleven"

"I would be grateful if you would please not interrupt me again. Now as I was
saying, we shall turn to the facts. Is there something you can tell us about
the boy or his relatives?"

"No not really. I was only a neighbor and the babysitter"

"How often did you watch Harry?"

"Very often. Every time the Dursley's went out, or when Dudley had a birthday.
Sometimes there wasn't even a reason"

"Just one more question. Do you believe Vernon Dursley abuses Mr. Potter?"

"Yes" Mrs. Figg said firmly

"Thank you. You may step down"

"We want to call Mr. Potter to the witness stand now"

Harry looked a bit scared when he stood up and slowly walked to sit next to his
uncle.

"Full name please?" The minister said,

"Harry James Potter"

"Your relation with Mr. Dursley"

"He is my uncle and my guardian"

"Do you have something to say about his testimony?"

Harry looked down and took a deep breath. This was it. He opened his mouth to
answer but no sound came out. He tried again but nothing. Harry looked at his
uncle who was smirking like he knew this would happen all the time. Then he
looked at his friends who were looking at him hopeful.

"Mr. Potter, please answer the question"

"I-I, I don't think he was telling the whole truth" Harry said quietly

"So you and your uncle don't get along?" The man who was replacing Umbridge said nicely

"N-no we don't" Harry said blushing a bit feeling uncomfortable saying this in
front of a lot of people he didn't even know.

"And why is that?"

"We don't like each other much" he said softly

"And why is that?"

"Because I am different. I'm magical. My uncle is a man who prides himself in being normal" Harry said daring to look up.

"Do you love your uncle Mr. Potter?"

Harry looked up and shrugged and said softly, "Not really no"

"Why not?"

"He has never given me a reason to I guess" Harry said in a more confident voice

"So now parents need to earn their children love by bribing them?" Fudge sneered making
Harry blush even more and start fidgeting in his chair

"I never said that minister. All I am saying that a little affection here and
there and maybe a bit of understanding would have been nice" Harry said so
softly that no one almost heard him.

"So your uncle loved your cousin a tad more. Isn't that understandable? I mean
he still gave you everything you needed didn't he? He still welcomed you to his
home. He-

"No he didn't" Harry said glaring at the minister. Suddenly he didn't seem to
remember that there were a lot of strangers there, or that he was talking about
things he had never talked about before. He was just so angry at the bloody
minister.

"What is that supposed to mean Mr. Potter?"

Harry calmed down a bit. Was he supposed to tell him or not.

"Mr. Potter" Fudge said angrily

Harry looked at him angry. He was very angry at the minister and a part of him
wanted to tell him just to prove him wrong but he was still scared of what would
happen if he did.

He could see his friends looking at him worriedly.

"Mr. Potter" Fudge snarled

Harry looked up and at the minister who was looking at him impatiently. He
started to panic. Hermione who saw this opened her telepath link with him and
started to soothe him.

"You don't have to do this if you don't want to" She said softly "But I know you
know that if you don't he will be set free, and as much as you don't like your
aunt and cousin you won't want to let them be back with him"

"My aunt won't get back together with him"

"Do you really trust yourself to take the chance? It is up to you Harry. If you
don't want to do this then we will just take you home"

"Mr. Potter" Ms. Bones said this time "Please answer the question"

After a bit longer of silence Harry looked up with a pained expression but a
determined look in his eyes.

"I simply meant that my uncle, neither took care of me nor loved me" He said
shakily

"What makes you come to that conclusion? You are still standing here to day"
The man who replaced Umbridge said

Harry took a deep breath before looking at the four people in front of him,

"Can you please describe your home life for us, between the age of one to
fifteen" Bones said sighing

"W-well, my room as a child was the cupboard under the stairs, although my
cousin had two rooms. And as soon as I could talk and walk I did most of the
chores and when I turned five I took care of the cooking most of the times too.
Except for dinner, aunt Petunia always did that. All of my clothes were
Dudley's old rags, even if they had the money to buy me new clothes. I was
never allowed to eat that much. I had to finish my chores first and that was
nearly impossible. They never celebrated my birthday, just Dudley's, I wasn't
even allowed to have Christmas with them. Every time someone came over I was
ordered to be in my cupboard and when I started in Hogwarts they said I was
going to saint Brutus, which is a school for young criminals" Harry said softly
but growing more confident

"And can you please tell us about your relationship between yourself and your
uncle"

"We never got along. He never liked anything I did. No matter how I tried he
was never happy. I was never a part of the family. I was just that blasted
Potter kid to him and I never knew why he hated me so much until I turned eleven
and found out about the truth about magic"

"Harry this is very important, did your uncle ever lay a hand on you?" Ms. Bones
said softly

Harry looked at the floor again and he could feel all the stares and the glare
from his uncle

For Dudley Harry thought, then he looked up and nodded, "Yes he has"

"How often?"

"I don't know" Harry shrugged, "Whenever he felt like it"

"That is a lie" Vernon yelled, "So what maybe I slapped him once in a while but
children need discipline and that is exactly what I did. I did what ever it took
to get that freakiness out of him and if you have a problem with that then you
never should have left him with us in the first place" Vernon said before he could stop himself.

"So you admit of abusing Mr. Potter because he is a wizard?"

"I wouldn't say abuse per say"

"Harry, when was the first time he ever hit you?" Bones said looking at the unpleasant muggle with disapproval.

"I was three I think or I might have been two" Harry said blushing

"What happened?"

"Well, my uncle had ordered me to go to my cupboard without any lunch and when
night came I started to get a bit hungry so I was going to sneak into the kitchen
and grab some toast, but on the way back my uncle saw me from the TV room where he,
Petunia and Dudley had been watching Tv and he got rather mad and started
yelling at me but unlike every other time he yelled at me he gripped my arm and
took the toast away and the when he slapped me across the face, and since I was
so little the force knocked me off my feet and I crashed into the glass table with
my head"

"What happened then?"

"My uncle told me to get my ass up and clean up the mess I had made and go back
to bed"

"He shouldn't go about stealing food" Vernon started to protest but a glare from
Ms. Bones shut him up

"Why are you using crutches Mr. Potter?"

Harry blushed a bit but then just shrugged

"Mr. Potter" Fudge said rudely. Frankly he was sure that the fat muggle was abusing him but the fact was that he didn't care. He wanted to make Potters reputation bad and this wasn't helping.

"When I came home for the summer I found out my cousin had been expelled from
his school. My uncle didn't take it all too well"

"What happened?"

"He tried to kill me" Harry said softly

"What?"

"In a short version, my uncle stopped hitting me when I got my letter, but when
I got home this summer he started again. He had me locked up in my room and
beat me every day. Then I fell into a coma and from what I have heard from people
he was about to kill me with a gun when my aunt called Mrs. Figg and they along
with professor Dumbledore saved me and for the last two weeks I have been at
Hogwarts in a coma"

"That will be all Mr. Potter. You may step down"

"Everyone who is of the opinion that Mr. Dursley is guilty raise their hands."

Almost everyone, but Fudge and Percy raised their hands

"Then I here by sentence you to seventy five years at Azkaban for abusing Harry
James Potter"

Finally the next chapter is done. I'm really sorry that I haven't updated anything for so long but, like I said the last time, there was made a week brake in the strike. But then it started again, but after another week the government had had enough and put laws against it so the teachers were forced to come back to teach us. So I've been super busy in school, I swear, I had eight exsams last week and I have four next week. I am going nuts. But anyways I'll try to update as often as I can but I don't know how often that will be….. Anyways, on with the review replies….

Pleione: Yeah I hadn't really planned on him having a sister… it just came you know… But thanks for the review and I hope you like the chapter…

Crissy Potter: I hadn't exactly meant to put a sister in there but I just kind of did… But I promise to try and make it original… But I'm afraid you'll just have to wait and see about the other things… there is no fun in saying… Anyways thanks for the review….

Beth5572: Thanks… I know the whole thing with Harry has a secret sister has really been over done… but I'll try make this different somehow. As about the other thing… just wait and see… Thanks for the review…

Miss Us Padfoot: I'm sorry about the late update but I've been really busy and I doubt I'll be much faster with the next update… but I am trying my best. Thanks for your review….

NitaPotter: Thank you. It shouldn't be all that long until Harry will be healed. He will be able to walk when he goes back to Hogwarts anyway… and then there will be some serious Voldemort ass kicking… And thank you very much, and don't worry, even if I might be a little long sometimes to update I am going to finish this, even if it takes me years… I'm just really busy at the moment. But anyways, thank you very much for the update and I hope you liked this chapter…

Jaded Angel8: Thanks… Draco will be coming back very soon…. No need to worry about that…

hopeless idiot: Well, firstly thanks you for that, I'm glad you like it. I know that me not being English isn't that good of an excuse but it is the only excuse I have really, that and that I'm only fourteen… but isn't much better excuse I believe. I've been improving although I still make the most stupid errors sometimes, but then my beta just fixs them. I'm afraid I'm not fluent in any language except my own. I can talk English ok and all but it is the writing that I have a problem with, it's the same with Danish, I can write that but I can't speak it… but thank you very much for the comment and I hope this chapter was better…. Oh and I'm from Iceland….

And I would also like to thank volleypickle16 Sugarbaby1516 phoebe666 gereoajnb gaul1 Chrissy227 and Little Marauder very much for their reviews, and then of course I can't forget my wonderful beta who is doing a grate job.

But that is all for now folks,

Love
