Author's Note: Before starting, I would like to ask once again that you read the side-story, as I'm going to be making some references from it, so you might not understand a few thing unless you read the side story, so please read it. If nothing else read the chapters six to eight, as it'll explain about Voldemort's past and a few things of interest.

Interlude…

Albus Dumbledore!

31st July 2011 - Hogwarts, Headmaster's Office:

Our chapters start at Hogwarts, where in the Headmaster's Office we find Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore, Headmaster of Hogwarts, Supreme Mugwump of the International Confederation of Wizards and Chief Warlock of the Wizengamot, seating in his chair thinking about the past and his plans so far.

A lot has changed within nearly the last forty years, for one thing the Mystics came along, and almost changed everything that Dumbledore and the Ministry of Magic tried to keep the same. Their thoughts was if not broke why fix not, not realizing how much the Muggle World had advanced over the years.

Albus Dumbledore could remember the twins that changed it all, Jennifer and Kimberly Carter. They were the most skilled and powerful Muggle-Borns he ever seen, they were even able to keep him out of their mind and he was a Master Legilimens, and was able to read anyone's minds until they came along. At the time he didn't think much about it, he just thought they were a natural Occlumens who were born with natural shields, it was rare, but they did appear every now and then. He never thought they had such skills to use, who over time would create the Mystics and change the world.

Oh don't get him wrong, he wasn't too bothered about change that much, or that people using magic differently. In fact he wasn't happy that people had their memories altered and that their powers blocked if they didn't agree with the Ministry of Magic way of doing things. But at the same time, he believed that such things should be done slowly, and not all at once like the Carter Twins wanted to do it. But with the help of a Mage from Earthland, they were able to create the Mystics and started the change in the Wizarding World.

With the wake of the Mystic, more and more of their kind appeared seeing that the Ministry of Magic couldn't alter the memories and block people's magic if they trained differently. However, at the same time the Mystics had their own island where they could learn and train their power, something the Ministry of Magic found useful, as they wouldn't have to deal with as many Muggleborns as before unless they wanted to go to Hogwarts as well. All in all, it wasn't all of a bad thing at first.

But then the changes begin, the Mystics thought that change was needed within the Wizarding World, and done so without consideration as to what everyone else thought. Although they did try and keep things as magical as possible, so that it wouldn't be too much of shock to people. To do this they used a magical item from Earthland called Lacrima, one use for this item was call Lacrima-Vision, where people could watch the News and the Quidditch on it. And over time, they had other shows on it too.

If that was the limit of the changes from the Mystics, Dumbledore didn't think the British Ministry of Magic would have mind, but the Mystics wanted to change more. Using magic and Muggle technology together, this is where things got bad, so far nothing happened, but not without a fight. The only reason that the Mystic didn't get their way, was because the Ministry of Magic put roadblocks in the way to stop this, something Albus agreed with. Albus was fine with change, but only slowly and if possible with him or someone he trusted was leading said change.

Anyway, another change since the Mystics came to be was that demons seemed to appear. Albus nor the Ministry of Magic knew how they came about, believing that they were either sealed away, or in hiding, but they suspected the Mystics were the reason behind the demons reappearing - something that out them more in the bad books with the Wizarding World.

Problems with the Mystics included the Dark Mystics, those who used their powers to make trouble for the Wizarding World, and the rest of the world. Albus was grateful though that the Carter Twins created the Mystic Knight to deal with this problem, as he couldn't see the Ministry of Magic being able to fight the Dark Mystics at when they appeared.

Another thing that changed was that with the Mystics coming to be, the Ministry of Magic had to find a way to fight them, and so they had to ask help with the Temple of Circe, an ancient group of magic users, who researched new magic, and learn where magic came to be - a bit like the Ministry of Magic Unspeakables. Only the Unspeakables, the Minister of Magic, Supreme Mugwump of the International Confederation of Wizards and Chief Warlock of the Wizengamot, Supreme Mugwump of the International Confederation of Wizards and Chief Warlock of the Wizengamot, knew about them about them.

Two powers came from the Temple, the first was Symbology, which was like runes, the study and use of symbols. But with Symbology, it has more wide array of effects, such as dealing elemental damage to foes, healing allies or granting bonuses or ailments on characters and enemies. A person also could summon up magical creatures, to fight a side of them.

The second was known as Materia, a Materia was an item that allowed a person to cast spells, summon, and new abilities that allowed someone boost one's (or others) speed, defence and such. Although anyone could use these items, the Ministry of Magic made sure that they could only get one if they attended a Magical School, and could be sent to prison if you were caught having one and didn't that the right to. Whilst limited in some ways compared to Symbology, the summoning creatures were, whilst few, were powerful. (Dumbledore knew both Materia and Symbology.)

Although the Mystics had altered many things, Dumbledore was happy they came about, as without them he couldn't see the Wizarding World lasting the last war with Voldemort. As somehow, the Dark Lord Voldemort was able to learn a Earthland magic known as Darkness Magic, which allowed a person to control the shadows and the darkness around them. So without the Mystics, the Wizarding World wouldn't have lasted for long.

Even if they helped in the war, many still didn't agree with them or liked them, as a Dark Mystic group known as the Acolytes joined Voldemort in his war. Even though the Mystics helped saved many lives in the war, because they existed, so did the Acolytes and the Wizarding World was not happy about this.

But Albus Dumbledore had his own reason for disliking the Mystics other than changing the Wizarding World too fast too soon, and creating problems for only existing: like the Dark Mystics. His problem with them was that they ruined his plans, the plans for the Greater Good.

He wasn't upset that Voldemort came to be, other than having a power that tipped the scales for a while, it helped with his plans. He needed another Dark Lord to defeat so that he could put his plans into action, a plan to change the world in the way he wanted, and to be greater than Merlin himself. But with the Mystics in the picture, that was now went down the drain.

Even defeating Voldemort and savage some of his plans went down the drain too, as he wasn't the one to defeat Voldemort, but a child by the name of Harry Potter did. It all started about over a year ago, when a prophecy stating that a child born when July ends would have the power to defeat the Dark Lord, and only he would be able to do so. And the parents would be those who got in Voldemort's plans three times and lived. This upset Albus, as he couldn't be the one that defeat the new Dark Lord. There was only two families at the time that fit the bill: the Potters and the Longbottoms.

So seeing that he wasn't able to defeat the Dark Lord himself, he would use whoever filled the prophecy. He knew he would have to deal with the parents of the children, as they wouldn't agree with his plans, so they would most like have to die in an accident or some other way. It was easier than he thought possible, he knew that Peter Pettigrew was a spy within the Order for Voldemort. But Peter unknowingly was his spy with the Death Eaters camp, and so no need to remove him.

When he told the Potters and the Longbottoms about the prophecy, he told them that they had to hide. He did this as he wanted to set up the Potters, to see if their son was the one in the prophecy. When he learnt that Sirius Black, their close and best friend, was going to be the Potter's Secret Keeper, he used a few spells to change that to Pettigrew. This give Peter the chance to tell his Master where the Potters were hiding, and then all Albus had to wait for the Dark Lord to attack the Potters. As for the Longbottoms, they would be more of a problem. He would need to think of something for them once he learns about if Harry Potter was the child of the prophecy or not.

But things didn't go to plan, yes the Dark Lord killed the Potters, but somehow wasn't able to kill Harry Potter, making him the Boy-Who-Lived. But the thing that didn't go to plan was that the Longbottoms were still alive, and he wasn't sure how. He had leaked the information about the Longbottoms being out of hiding to the Lestrange, but somehow the Aurors got a tip off about the attack that the Lestranges, apart for Bellatrix, and Bartemius Crouch Jr and was arrested sent to Azkaban. With the help of the Malfoys, Bellatrix escaped Azkaban, and was able to stay with her daughter Anastasia and rise her. It wasn't what he would have liked to happen, but there was nothing he could do about it.

Then there was the problem with the Longbottoms, they were still alive and healthy, he could not make a move on them. Since the attack on them, the Aurors put a 24/7 watch on them, for the next few years, just in case another Death Eater attacked. Whilst they didn't know the full story, they did know that Neville Longbottom would be the target of the attacks. So it was decided by Madam Amelia Bones, the new and one of the very few witches in high power, Head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, that when Neville was old enough he should learn the basics of defending himself so that should another attack happen to him. This way he would be able to defend himself long enough for help to arrive.

But with the Longbottoms alive though, created another problem, and that was that Harry Potter should have went to them as Alice Longbottom was his Godmother. With Sirius Black, who was Harry's Godfather, in Azkaban, Harry was meant to go Alice should the Potters die if Black was unable to. It took some convincing, and some spell work, but he was able to convince everyone for Harry's safety and that of Neville Longbottom's, it was best that Harry stayed out of the Wizarding World. As he would have a target painted on his back, and many Death Eaters would like nothing more to get revenge on the young Potter Baby for what he did to their Lord and Master.

At least his plans to mould Harry Potter into a weapon to defeat Voldemort whenever he should return, was still in place. Albus knew that the person once known as Tom Riddle, had taken action so that he could not die easily, and was still out there somewhere, weak, powerless and without anyone helping. But it would be only matter of time before that would change, and Dumbledore had to work out how what actions that Riddle done and undo them so that Potter could defeat the Dark Lord. And if Albus was able to mould the kid rightly, either take his place to work on the Greater Good, and if he couldn't mould Harry, he would arrange it so the young man dies after killing the Dark Lord.

So far he thought that his plans for young Harry Potter was working, no one knew where he was, and should they look for him, Albus had set up spells and wards so it would be near impossible to find him. And seeing that Albus sent Harry to Vernon and Petunia Dursley, his only know family, the old Headmaster would not tell Harry about his magical heritage, as they hated anything related to magic. And because of their hatred of magic, they would not treat the young kindly and would keep him weak and friendless, so it would be easy for him to come in and look like the hero who rescued him. Harry would look up to him, and would do whatever in return as thanks.

However though, it would seem that Albus's plans for Potter was ruined, and he would have to rethink his plans, as if the latter that he got from was right, not only did young Harry Potter knew about magic, but he didn't trust him. Albus picked up the letter he got a few weeks ago from his desk, and reread it for what felt like the hundredth time.

Dear Headmaster Dumbledore.

I've received your second letter that came a day later after receiving the first, after talking about it with a few people that knows about magic, it was decided I should reply to it now instead of waiting for God knows how many you might have sent. But was also decided that other than informing you I would be attending Hogwarts, I should also tell you where I stand with you, so it is all in the open so to be speak.

You see whilst I've known I could do magic since March 2007, it wasn't until March 2008 when I was attacked by some Witch Hunters and saved by the Mystics, that I found out about the Wizarding World, and your part of sending me to the Dursley, and me being the Boy-Who-Lived. I always wondered why the Dursleys kept me around, and it wasn't until I learnt about the Wizarding World that I asked them about it. Whilst they weren't too happy about it, wanting to forget the they were forced to have me, I read the letter that you left with me. Whilst I don't like it, I do understand why you did so.

However though, that doesn't mean I can trust you though, no matter the reason behind it. Leaving a child who's not even two at the time on the doorstep on the cold night of November night, does not give me a good impression of you. Not only could have been killed by the cold, I could have been easily kidnapped by someone. And then there was the fact that not once in all these years did you visit me to see if I was okay, not only does this give me another bad impression of you, it makes me think that you don't care about me. This is the reason I don't trust you, if this is something you can do to a child you meant to keep safe, I have no idea what kind of things you can do in the future.

That doesn't mean I'm not willing to work with you in the future, as from what I heard from the Mystics, there are many who believe that seeing there was no body, this Lord Voldemort character is out there somewhere. And seeing that I was the one that stopped him in the last war, should he ever return, he would more than likely come after me. Just to prove that it was a flock that I defeated him, as if nothing more, he can't let me live, it would make him look bad otherwise. In which case, I'm willing to work with you against him. Whilst I'll work with you, it doesn't mean I'll follow you blindly, as I said I don't fully trust you, you'll need to work on gaining that trust.

Anyway, other than letting you know where we stand with each other, I'm writing to ask to send someone to get my things and answer any questions I might have about Hogwarts and the Wizarding World. Whilst I might know of it for the last few years, I have been busy with training myself so that I can defend myself should I have to. Because of this, going to school and doing a few other personal things, I haven't been able to learn more about Hogwarts or about the Wizarding World, and would like someone who can explain things that might come up. So I hope you can send someone who can answer my questions, and help me get my things.

I would like to thank you for your time and I hope to hear from you soon.

Yours sincerely,

Harry Potter.

When Albus first read this letter, he felt at unease, as although Potter didn't say in the letter, it would seem that he had become a Mystic. Sure there was a risk of it happening, that's why he sent the young child to the Dursleys, so that he wouldn't even think about doing magic. But it would seem that it wasn't the case, what is worse is that Harry Potter has learnt about the Wizarding World and that he was the Boy-Who-Lived. This wasn't what he wanted, he needed Potter to be weak, unknowing of the Wizarding World and relying on him for everything.

It was thanks to the Witch Hunters that Potter learnt about the Wizarding World, if they won't involved, then the Mystics would have to save Harry and so he wouldn't have learnt about the Wizarding World. Not only that, but during these years Potter had found people who he could trust and rely on. And because of his actions of how he left Potter at the Dursleys, and not visiting over the years has now given Harry and those he trust a reason not to trust him. At least Potter was willing to work with him and allow him to build the trust between them, but it would be hard seeing that Potter had others to rely on. He would now have to rethink his plans, seeing that his old ones relied on Potter trusting him blindly - which was now impossible.

Although it wasn't all of a loose, whilst he didn't know why the Boy-Who-Lived's letter was sent weeks before he had planned, it didn't stop his first plan for the boy: Hagrid. His original plan was to send letters over a week before his birthday, believing that Potter wouldn't get them, and then send Hagrid to retrieve the young boy, and taking him to Diagon Alley. There he would be taken to Gringotts to get his money, and with luck when Hagrid the package, although Hagrid didn't it was the Philosopher's Stone, for him, Potter would get interested in what the package. And if Potter did, he would find out that the package was the Philosopher's Stone, and try to solve the tests that he (Albus) set for him. Not only that but also limit Harry from finding out too much about the Wizarding World.

For now all Albus could do at that time was to send a letter to Potter and inform him that he couldn't send anyone to take his things and answer his questions until the end of month, and then send Hagrid to do the first part of the plan. Send Hagrid to get Harry, get the Philosopher's Stone and see if he could get Harry interested in the item that the half-giant would get, and try and limit what Harry finding out about the Wizarding World. It was possible that Harry already knew more than Dumbledore would have liked, seeing that Potter knew he was the Boy-Who-Lived, but he wanted to limit as much as he could. But at the same time he sent Hagrid to find out what Potter knew, and what powers he had already - he wanted to see if Potter was a Mystic or a Wandless Magic User.

So he was, he had sent Hagrid off to Privet Drive a that morning, and he was waiting for the half-giant to return and see what he learnt about Harry. As he wait there and thought about his plans for the coming year for Harry, and counter plans if his first plans didn't work, when there was a knock on the door. Thanks to the wards that he set up on the door, he knew who it was and called out, "Come in Hagrid."

The half-giant entered the office, and placed the package that he brought back from Gringotts onto the table, as he said, "Hey Headmaster, I've got the package tha' yeh sen' me ter get."

"Thank you Hagrid," Albus said with a smile, "you have been a great help with getting the Stone for me, I was too busy to get it myself."

"No problem Headmaster, I was happy ter help." said Hagrid.

"Good, now could you tell me what did you think of young Harry?" Albus asked with interest, wanting to know how much damage control he need to deal with.

"From what I can, he is a polite and smar' young boy," Hagrid admitted fundly, "although he was shocked ter hear I was the one takin' him ter Diagon Alley, and not a professor. In fac' he asked me ter give yeh a letter."

"Oh really…" Dumbledore said with interest, as Hagrid give him a letter.

Headmaster Dumbledore,

Sending a groundskeeper instead of a professor to get my things and answer my questions is strike one, so not think I know that it was some kind of set up. For what reason I do not know, but I know you are planning something, but I do not know what. So you know, you two more and you'll never be able to gain my trust. If you don't know what I mean by that seeing that the WIzarding World isn't up to date with Muggle sayings, it means that your first attempt to gain my trust has failed and you have three more attempts to try this. It doesn't mean that I won't work with you to stop Voldemort should he return, it would just means that I won't trust you.

I'm not writing this to be rude or anything, but to let you know that I won't be walked over or be a made a fool of.

Harry Potter.

"Hagrid, tell me what your day with Harry was like please." Dumbledore said to the half-giant, after reading this. He was was worried, and more so as Hagrid told him about his day. It would seem that Harry was more independent than Albus wanted, and from the letter he was strong willed too. It would seem that Harry didn't get the brother wand of Voldemort's wand either. It would seem that he would have to rethink his plans for Potter, even thinking about using potions and spells to control the boy.

So once Hagrid told him what happened that day, he sent the half-giant off, so he could think about his upcoming plans for Harry. Albus had a lot of thinking to do, as he had to be careful how he should handle Potter, as this wasn't the Harry Potter he was suspecting: a weak and mouldable child, who would be easy to control. No, he had to plan, and try and find out who these people Harry trusted and get rid of them, as they could become a problem later on. So for now he seat back and thought ahead to when Hogwarts start, where Harry would be here and so might be able to start his plans.

o0OoO0o

31st July 2011 - No 4 Privet Drive - few hour earlier:

As Harry opened the door, he saw a giant of a man was standing in the doorway. His face was almost completely hidden by a long, shaggy mane of hair and a wild, tangled beard, but you could make out his eyes, glinting like black beetles under all the hair. Harry was somewhat amazed at the size of the man, and had to wonder if he was a half-giant he read about in one of the books he got from Diagon Alley one time.

"Can I help you sir?" asked Harry. He suspected that he was the one who was picking him up to take him to Diagon Alley, but he wanted to make sure it was.

"Greetings, I'm Rubeus Hagrid, Keeper of Keys and Grounds at Hogwarts." the man giant introduced himself.

'What the hell? They sent me a damn groundskeeper to take me to Diagon Alley,' Harry thought in shock as the man giant introduced himself, 'why would they send a groundskeeper? I can't see him as someone who can answer my questions.' But he had to play this carefully, whilst he showed that he didn't trust the Headmaster, that's because of the past between the two. He didn't want to show that he was ungrateful or anything like that, he needs to show he was willing to work with others for the Light, but at the same time he was not a walk over, like some weak naive child that he would have been if it wasn't for Lucy.

So being careful of what he said, Harry introduced himself, "Greetings, I'm Harry Potter, thank you for coming, please come in."

"Thanks Harry, I'm happy ter see you again. The las' time I saw yeh, yeh was only a baby when I lef' yeh here," said Rubeus, as Harry lead the man into the living room. "Yeh look a lot like yer dad, but yeh've got yet mom's eyes."

Harry had to hold his anger when he heard this, this giant was the reason for life on earth for the first few years before Lucy came along. If he didn't think there was more to this story, he would have most likely summoned a flame digger and tried to stab him. But he knew he had to act a certain way, otherwise his plans would be for nothing.

As he lead the giant into the living room, Rubeus said, "Anyway, Harry before we begin, I would wish yeh a very happy birthday to yeh. Got summat fer yeh here - I migh'a sat on it at some poin', but it'll taste all righ'." From an inside pocket of his black overcoat he pulled a slightly squashed box. Harry opened it with trembling fingers. Inside was a large, sticky chocolate cake with Happy Birthday Harry written on it in green icing.

Anyway, as the giant seat down on the sofa, which sagged under his weight. As he seat down Harry asked, "Thank you Mr. Hagrid, but can you tell me why a groundskeeper of all people is here instead of a teacher? I mean you no disrespect, but wouldn't a professor be able tell me more about Hogwarts and its classes than you can?"

"Please call me Hagrid," he said kindly, "everyone does. And I'm here as all the other professors are busy with sortin' things out for the star' of term."

Suddenly things began to smell as a setup to Harry, a setup to what he wasn't sure, but he could tell that this Hagrid wasn't all that smart and his role for him being at the Dursleys, was someone else's idea: most likely Dumbledore. For now though, he would play the kind hearted person, and see what happens and see if this half-giant could be any use to him if he played things right.

Than before Harry could say much, Hagrid said, "Anyway, best be Off, Harry, lots ter do today, gotta get up ter London an' buy all yer stuff fer school."

Making sure that everything was fine at the house, didn't want the Dursleys to bother him about it when he get back, Harry got his things and left with Hagrid who had a Portkey with him. One of Harry's less favourite ways of travel, he had use it once with dealing with the Goblins. After the first time making him ill, it was arranged with Goblins that Harry would be allowed to use his own way of travel to meet up with them.

Once Harry got to the landing point, he found himself with the familiar dark and shabby place that was Leaky Cauldron. A few old women were sitting in a corner, drinking tiny glasses of sherry. One of them was smoking a long pipe. A little man in a top hat was talking to the old bartender, who was quite bald and looked like a toothless walnut. The low buzz of chatter stopped when they saw them. It would seem everyone there seemed to know Hagrid; they waved and smiled at him, and Tom the bartender reached for a glass, saying, "The usual, Hagrid?"

"Can', Tom, I'm on Hogwarts business," said Hagrid, clapping his great hand on Harry's shoulder and making Harry's knees buckle, knocking the hood that Harry was wearing off, "takin' young Harry Potter ter get his things."

Harry could only moan at this, the reason for the hood was to make sure no one would recognise him.

"Good Lord," said the bartender, peering at Harry, "can this be really be him?"

The Leaky Cauldron had suddenly gone completely still and silent, this is what Harry wanted to avoid, people staring at him and making a fuss of him. Sure he didn't mind the fame, and what comes with it, but he wanted to do this slowly. So far he was able to avoid all this, making sure that he wore a hood before coming here.

"Bless my soul," whispered the old bartender, "Harry Potter... what an honour."

He hurried out from behind the bar, rushed toward Harry and seized his hand, tears in his eyes.

"Welcome back, Mr. Potter, welcome back."

Harry didn't know what to say. Everyone was looking at him. The old woman with the pipe was puffing on it without realizing it had gone out. Hagrid was beaming. Then there was a great scraping of chairs and the next moment, Harry found himself shaking hands with everyone in the Leaky Cauldron. If it wasn't for keeping up his idea of being a kind hearted kid, he would have made sure they all found out how he felt about this.

"Doris Crockford, Mr. Potter, can't believe I'm meeting you at last."

"So proud, Mr. Potter, I'm just so proud."

"Always wanted to shake your hand - I'm all of a flutter."

"Delighted, Mr. Potter, just can't tell you, Diggle's the name, Dedalus Diggle."

"I've seen you before!" said Harry, as Dedalus Diggle's top hat fell off in his excitement. He recognised him before he learnt about the Wizarding World, and had wondered why a man would bow at him, and without thinking he said, "You bowed to me once in a shop."

"He remembers!" cried Dedalus Diggle, looking around at everyone. "Did you hear that? He remembers me!" Harry shook hands again and again - Doris Crockford kept coming back for more.

A pale young man made his way forward, very nervously. One of his eyes was twitching.

"Professor Quirrell!" said Hagrid. "Harry, Professor Quirrell will be one of your teachers at Hogwarts."

"P-P-Potter," stammered Professor Quirrell, grasping Harry's hand, "c-can't t-tell you how p- pleased I am to meet you."

"What sort of magic do you teach, Professor Quirrell?"

"D-Defence Against the D-D-Dark Arts," muttered Professor Quirrell, as though he'd rather not think about it. "N-not that you n-need it, eh, P-P-Potter?" He laughed nervously. "You'll be g-getting all your equipment, I suppose? I've g-got to p-pick up a new b-book on vampires, m-myself." He looked terrified at the very thought.

But the others wouldn't let Professor Quirrell keep Harry to himself. It took almost ten minutes to get away from them all. At last, Hagrid managed to make himself heard over the babble.

"Mus' get on - lots ter buy. Come on, Harry."

Doris Crockford shook Harry's hand one last time, and Hagrid led them through the bar and out into a small, walled courtyard, where there was nothing but a trash can and a few weeds.

Hagrid grinned at Harry.

"Was that Professor Quirrell always been that nervous?" asked Harry, wondering why he was teaching such a subject like Defence, from what he understood about the class, you needed someone who was brave and didn't stutter.

"Oh, yeah. Poor bloke. Brilliant mind. He was fine while he was studyin' outta books but then he took a year off ter get some firsthand experience… they say he met vampires in the Black Forest, and there was a nasty bit o' trouble with a hag - never been the same since. Scared of the students, scared of his own subject now, where's me umbrella?"

Harry was wondering he was still teaching as Hagrid, was counting bricks in the wall above the trash can.

"Three up... two across…" he muttered. "Right, stand back, Harry."

He tapped the wall three times with the point of his umbrella.

The brick he had touched quivered - it wriggled - in the middle, a small hole appeared - it grew wider and wider - a second later they were facing an archway large enough even for Hagrid, an archway onto a cobbled street that twisted and turned out of sight.

"Welcome," said Hagrid, "to Diagon Alley."

To be Continued!

Author's Note: Here ends the the first of the Interlude, I would like to thank you for reading, and I hope you enjoyed it. I'll admit that this wasn't my best chapter so far, and that I am sorry, but I hope you like it anyway. I'm thinking to do an Interlude at the end of each saga with Dumbledore thinking about the past year, so that unless it is part of the story or important, we won't be seeing much of him until the end of the year.

I hope what I have done with the chapter, and how I set things up in the story. I'm still looking for OC Mystics, and if you were reading the side story, I'm looking for OC Books of Zeref's: Etherious. If you can help me, please let me know of any ideas you might have. Any that I like, I'll use in this story and give you thanks for them.

Either way, I would like to thank you once again for reading and I hope you spare a few minutes to leave a review and let me know what you think of the chapter, and any ideas you might have for the future chapters, and any powers you would like to be used in the story. I'm also looking for ideas as to what can happen during the year, as I want to draw out the first year instead of doing two chapters for it.

Next time on Rise of Overlord Vulcan:Next time on Overlord Vulcan, the new saga called The Blood Stone begins. In the next chapter we finally get start getting back to the original story, with a few things from the last few chapters thrown in to keep things connected to it. In the first chapter of the saga we see Harry at Diagon Alley, where Harry not only does he get his things, but meets up with Draco Malfoy, and gets Aneira the Ice Tigran. (If you got any ideas that you would like to see happen in the first year, I would like to hear them, as I want a few chapters for the first year.)

Here's the new names for the Underground Asylum so far, if you can think of more please let me know:

Elysium

Underworld Entertainment

The Abyss

'The Seventh Circle'

Shinmai Maou no Testament
