Chapter 9

Harry, Ron and Hermione where just getting up to go to potions.

"Did you do your homework?" Ron asked Harry. He shook his head. Hermione scowled at them

"Really you two need to be more organized. You knew it was due today and it not like you could get out of it." As if this comment had jinxed it, Ron bumped into Professor Dumbledore.

"Sorry sir."

"That's quite alright Ron. I was just looking for the three of you. How would you like the afternoon off." Harry's and Ron's eyes light up.

"We would love it professor."

"Good. Then you can be so kind as to take my grandson and buy him school supplies." Hermione was intrigued

"I didn't know you had a grandson sir." Dumbledore smiled.

"As the case my well is, but you have met him." Daniel came running up.

"Sorry granddad I got lost."

"It seems I am having a swamp of apologies today." Dumbledore said then walked off leaving Ron, Harry and Hermione staring at Daniel. Daniel was embarrassed by this a people usually stared at Jack because of his hat, or tel'c because… he was tel'c. Seeing looking at the floor didn't change there interest in him he coughed and said.

"So I guess you agreed to help me." Harry smiled he knew what it was like for Daniel it had been very bewildering when he first entered the wizarding world.

"Yea, let go." He elbowed Ron, and they all started walking.

"Yea I mean the faster we go the less of class we miss." Ron and Harry groaned at Hermione's comment.

They found profess McGonagall waiting with four brooms.

"There you are. Now unfortunately the bus couldn't be arranged in time so you have to fly. I expect you to remember that Daniel is not used to this and to keep an eye on him. If you return in time you are expected back at class, if not you will be dining with the head master. You will come and see me as I will have notes for the class you missed. Now if you excuse me my first years are waiting.

"Is she always so …" he was not cut off by them as Jack would have done so he came out with exactly what he thought. "Bitchy." Hermione covered her mouth, Ron just looked puzzled and Harry laughed.

"She ok after a while, but she always act as if a broom was shoved up her ass." Harry mounted as he said this. "Do you want a demo?" Daniel was about to answer when he had another flash back.

"Daniel Potter you bring that broom back this instant!"

"No, I want to ride. I a big boy." At this Daniel mounted his father's broom. It was much too big for but Daniel didn't care. He kicked off from the ground and headed for the sky.

He looped the loop did back flip and vertical dive down to the ground causing his mother to faint. He refused to come down it was too much fun. In the end one of the neighbors had to come and get him, as his father was out of town.

Daniel came back and smiled "no I can do this thanks Harry." Before any of them could dispute this he jumped on the broom and took of repeating the entire trick. He the came down hovering just above the ground. "Are you three coming?" He asked needing no more urging the three mounted and Harry sped in front to take the lead.

It was too far to travel to Diagon Alley. So they stop ant Hogsmed, to take the Hogwarts express, which during the school year went back and forth allowing wizard and witch a convenient method of transport away from muggels.

As the step on the platform Harry asked

"Do you have money on you?" Daniel pushed his glass back up his nose.

"No I have to go to Grigots bank." Harry nodded and led the way. As they stepped into the bank Daniel stepped in front of Harry and led him over to a counter with a sigh saying "extra secure vaults." Daniel went up to the counter smiling then saying in ancient Egypt.

"I wish to access the Dumbledore family vault." This goblin leered over the desk at him

"Do you have the key?" Daniel pulled it out from underneath his shirt were it was hanging around his neck. Very well. Follow him." He said pointing over to a cart. Daniel walked over and hoped in. he was surprised to be followed.

"You didn't have to come."

"The goblins give us the creeps." Ron stated as the driver of the cart glared.

It was only a short trip to Daniels volt. As he opened it the entire where astounded. The piles it held where even bigger than Harry's.

Daniel walked in and pulled out the bag Dumbledore had given him.

"mmm, what do these coins represent?"

Harry came up beside him. "Sickle equals 10 muggels cents Kuntz equals a dollar and the gallon equals ten. It basically the same from there. Daniel grabbed a handful of each.

Once out on the street Daniel was entranced with all the different shops around.

"Where do you want to go first?" Harry asked.

"To get my wand." They all smiled. "What that for." They looked at each other.

"You'll see when you buy yours."

The went in to a shop called Ollavanders. Inside were just shelves with piles and piles of boxes. Mr. Ollavander came out. "Mr. Dumbledore, I thought I see you today."

He clapped his hands and a tape measure floated over and took his measurements. As he looked at the result he muttered curious few he then walked between the shelve pick out only one box. He carried it over as if it was made of gold. Carefully he opened it he held out the box to Daniel.

Daniel went to pick it up but he was stopped. "Let the children take cover first." Needed no more warning they ran behind the counter.

"Is this dangerous he ask." As Mr. Ollavander went to join them.

"Only if it's not meant for you." He replied then duck out of sight. It reminded Daniel of the first time he had flown a goul'd ship. If he had crash he would have killed his team. Now just by touching this bit of wood he could do the same. He took a deep breath and picked it up.

Suddenly sha'res picture was projected in front of him. Hearing no bang the spectators poked the head over. They saw more than Sha'res picture, they saw Daniel glowing, it was so bright it light up the whole room.

"Well that curious." Aware of being watch suddenly the lights disappeared and Daniel turned.

"Dose evigilo mean something." Once again light shot out of Daniel wand but this type accompanied by a voice.

"What a dream. Thanks for waking me up. Not." Daniel looked around the room.

"Who said that?" Everyone stared at him and Daniel heard laughter.

"Danny you're just making an idiot of yourself only you can hear me."

"Who are you?" Daniel thought flopping down to the ground."

"That's better. I am Bracken, your Father Symbiot.

"My father?

" Yes". When he knew he was going to die, I was passed to you. Knowing at your young age you couldn't understand this with out going insane I went to sleep. You just awoke me." Seeing he was not going to get a response Bracken continued.

"So stand up and look in the mirror I want to see you." Daniel complied. "What on earth are you wearing?" Bracken asked in disgust. Daniel looked at himself and could see his smybot's point. He was still wearing his stargate uniform and green; he could now see was defiantly not his color. Daniel turned to Harry.

"Where the clothes shop." he asked. He didn't here the answer as Bracken talked over the top.

"Harry…"

"How do you know him?" Daniel asked.

"He's your cousin half wit." A family tree popped in to his mind. His and Harry had been two of three sisters. He was not given much of a chance to think about this as Bracken exclaimed. "Look at him can't you see what he's been through."

Daniel looked. I was as if he just received a second sight. He could see pain in every inch of Harry's face. As he looked he felt tears coming to his eyes.

"Are you ok Daniel?" Harry asked.

"I just realized something, you're my cousin Harry. Our mums were sisters. You are never going back to the Dursley's."

Harry just stared. Inside he was jumping for joy. But the gap that Sirius had left suddenly grew. He decided t ignore the comment.

"Let's get though clothes." They paid and went. Down in the robe shop Daniel was going wild. Well not Daniel but Bracken.

"Ok grab that read one and the purple. Oh, that such a nice blue." He mange to get the pile down to ten and after having on pinned left saying he would come back and collect them.

"Ok I am hungry now." Daniel smiled though his new friend was demanding he was likening the company. He turn to and ice-cream shop.

"Can I please have four triple Decker banana Sunday." He gave one to each then sat down at a table.

As they sat there Harry thought. What would it be like if He really did live with Daniel? He already had an idea of his personality. He was curious, kind, shy; quiet on the inside but to hide this he had developed an outgoing, flashy charming side. Harry couldn't help but like Daniel. After a while he asked

"Did you mean what he said before?" Daniel looked up from his Sunday.

"Of course. Why you going to take me up on the offer.

"But if you're in the air force... you would have to travel a lot."

"True but I would be just a phone call away."

Ron and Hermione watch this conversation intently. Silently they made a bet which way it would go.

"Could I come home holidays?"

"Weekends to if you like."

"I would like that." A smug smile crossed Hermione's face.

"If that the case I'll talk to the Dursely's tonight." Harry smiled.

"That will brighten up your dull apartment." Bracken commented.

Daniel smiled; this could be the start of the family he had always wanted.
