HER POV~
I was standing in front of Dursley's house. The time was 5:13 pm.
I knocked on the door and waited.
Petunia opened the door and scowled as soon as she saw me.
I went in and closed the door behind me.
" done with your shopping. " she sneered at me.
" yes." I said. "and I won't be staying with you either."
" what?"
" I will not be staying with you from now on, although I may come here once in a while to tell you that I'm alive maybe, around the summer holidays. "
" Why come here then !"
" I came here to pack my stuff and I will leave first thing tomorrow morning."
" That's good. " Vernon said descending the stairs " we will like to get rid of you sooner than later ."
" I will be in my room then " with that I went to Dudley's 2nd bedroom, The Dursleys freaked out when I gave them the letter after a couple of days of its arrival, and just like in canon they moved me to Dudley's 2nd room
I went to my room and dropped the watch and my bag off after pulling a box out of it, next I went to Dudley's room
sure enough, the pig in the wig was in his room playing video games, I could hear him playing even when the door was closed
I knocked on the door " Hello Dudley. "
" what do you want brat," he said opening the door
"I wanted to give you something," I said smiling and what do I say, I was a good actor, one HAD to be after several run-ins with a teacher after doing pranks AND not being suspected for any of them
" Give me! what can you give me," he said haughtily.
" Well, you see I'm leaving, and since you are my ONLY friend I thought I might as well give you a parting gift," I said giving him
the box
" You consider me a friend "
" yah, you've always played with me and although I would have preferred a more passive game, you playing with me mattered to me "
" you are giving me gift " gods this is taking more time than I thought and how obvious is he
" yes, you are my ONLY friend after all " he got a bit of thoughtful look on his face
" umm well I have to pack so bye " with that I made a move to leave but Dudley interrupted me
" Umm Thank you ...for the game," he said looking at the latest version of his favorite game I had just gifted him.
" You are welcome " after that I spent the rest of my time in my room reading books and trying to come up with a plan for my 1st year
I had already handled the problems, I could handle with my current abilities, like the Horcrux in my scare, and the locket.
I will get the diadem once I go to Hogwarts, I can't get the diary till my 2nd year, the cup is in Bellatrix vault and I have to know the goblin's opinion on Horcrux before pulling a stunt and what's left is Nagini and Voldemort, who both are out of my reach for next 7 years.
The next problem is dumbledoor, I had secured my account back with the help of darkfang, dumbles will be pissed to know that he can't steal from me because apparently grip hook had acquired some mysterious goblin disease( beheaded for his crimes) and died due to it, he was replaced by a stubborn goblin who won't cooperate with him.
I wonder why did he even feel the need to steal from an orphan, I mean he should be already rich considering his status as supreme mugwump whatever that meant, and chief warlock, and not to forget he is the headmaster of Hogwarts.
I expected dumbledoor to set up his yearly suicidal missions for me but I was already ahead of him given my future knowledge. I had fully planned what to do for my 1st year knowing that only the Cerberus might be a problem, what worried me though was the balisik and Sirius.
That brought me back to my guardianship, currently, Dumbledoor had my illegal guardianship and if I somehow managed to prove Sirous innocent, I will not be free to do what I wanted hence hindering my plans.
I had already decided to try and get in the Dursleys good book since I am sure I will need to show up here for the sake of not making is suspicious and probably use this as a hideout since Dumbledoor won't think that HARRY POTTER will come here seeking safety even in HIS wildest dreams. the gift to Dudley was not without a reason, if I have Dudley's trust and support petunia will melt easily and Vernon might as well try to go with the flow and if he won't he can go die in a ditch for all I care
The next problem is the Daily prophet or more precisely Rita and ministry, Unlike Harry, I fully plan on getting only good publicity
...
The concept of magic is simple but diaphanous, Magic is a force just like any other natural force like heat, light, or wind. Magic is fueled by determination and imagination. the more detailed you imagine an object while transfiguring it the more detailed it will become. The more determined you are while carting a Lumos the more bright it will be, Magic is simply magic there is no proper definition, no limits to it. The Only limit is your imagination and determination...
*meow*~master~
I jumped
" # What are you doing here,"# I asked the nekomata floating in the air
~ I was hungry ~
#I told Kreacher to feed you #
~ the food you gave him finished ~
# Finished! didn't I feed you like just before we went to Grimmauld place #
~you did but I was hungry and you have more food with you ~
Is shook my head and pulled out a can of cat food
she sniffed it
~ this Isn't the same ~
" #your fault, You ate all the tuna flavored food and I don't think chicken flavored will be that bad #"
~ But a master I like fish flavor ~
"# if you are really hungry then you will eat this and if you are not then I will keep it away,#," I said making a show of closing the lid
~ fine ~ she huffed if cats can even do that and started to eat it
" # So do you have a name or do I need to name you #
~ we animals don't use names well unless they are pets or familiars ~
# hmm so what about something complementing your fur #
~ obsidian~
# nah it is too cliche #
~ what about Onyx ~
# I do not intend to name you after a pokemon#
~ a poke what ?~
# nothing forget it, so what do you think about phantom #
~ I don't mind ~
# great #
I went back to the book I was reading before my nekomata or newly named phantom interrupted me
~ what are you reading ~
" theory of magic," I said absent-mindedly
~ It's past midnight you should sleep ~
" I will once I-wait wait wait you can understand me even when I speak English, seriously speaking through the mind link was giving me headaches"
she snorted at that but it sounded like she had breathing problems, I would have had been scared for her life if I didn't know any better.
~It was fun having you speak through the connection and you will get used to it once your core stables, I can feel that it is drained due to all the rituals and bonding you went through and not to mention that a good amount of your magic is busy with your injuries~
" I think I should sleep, I haven't slept properly for a week, " I said more to myself than her
~ rest well master, You will need the energy to create all the chaos I know you will create ~
...
Beep beep...beep beep...bee-*smash*
I groaned and opened my eyes, I Flickied the light on . as soon I was awake enough I found out phantom sleeping on my face, is that why I had breathing problems during the night.
I carefully removed her from my face but she still woke up
~morning~ she said and I swear she sounded sarcastic was it because I woke her up
" good morning to you too phantom " I replied smiling but just as sassily
she twisted in my arms and yawned
~ we are going to the goblins today ~ she said lazily
" thank you for reminding me " I rolled my eyes
~ you are welcome ~ and gods I swear she was smirking
I shook my head, I wasn't awake enough to handle an annoyed, quick-witted, and sarcastic cat
I scratched her ear a few times before placing her on the bed and getting off. I stretched and yawned
I took a shower after that, Thank goodness they had a bathroom attached to both of Dudley's rooms
After the shower, I packed all my belongings, like the clothes that were actually decent enough to wear, Dudley's old watch, a water bottle, a pocket knife, and pepper spray that I borrowed from aunt petunia it's not like she will notice anyway, etc...
" phantom can you enchant yourself to look like a normal cat "
~ yes, why do you ask master ~
" most people don't like a creature that can do necromancy so you will have to look like a normal cat so as not to raise suspicion among the magical folk and well the muggles might freak out when they see a mythical creature "
after that, I left The Dursley's house leaving a note for petunia saying that if Mrs. Frigg asks about my whereabouts then to say that I was spending some time with Vernon's sister margarine or was it, Margaret, Ugh forget it she was not a character I paid attention to unless I had to mention dog bites in my fic
I checked the time it was currently 7:30, I decided to do some shopping in the muggle world
I bought a pair of T-shirts, a pair of hoodies, a couple of definitely manly headbands, a pair of shoes and a pair of jeans.
I also bought a few things including a Digital Audia Tape, yes it was a bit expensive at the time but I had several vaults full of gold that would be more valuable if I just melted it and sold it, really I mean the goblins were hitting a jackpot through their uneven wizarding to muggle converting scale.
like if I melted a gallon and sold it to muggles then I will get approx 25 $ for it and if I converted it through goblin then I will get 7 something $
that's like 72 % loss ( the author did the calculations considering the gold rates of 1991, the calculations are not fake! )
I then headed towards the Gringotts
" Noble goblin I would like to see Sir darkfang "
after that, I was led to dark fangs office, he was in his office this time though
" Welcome heir black what brings you back so soon " oh right he's the black account manager he must know when I got access to the main black vault
" greetings Nobel goblin Darkfang, I had some important business, and as you must know I was in no condition to discuss all the things yesterday," I said taking a seat
" yes, the rituals do leave a person tired and drained so what is it that you wish to discuss "
" Well I found another one of the Horcrux we dealt with yesterday and I would like the soul to be moved to another object "
" Oh those nasty little parasites, *cough* that will be done you just need to hand me the object the soul is manifesting " I gave him the locket
" My my Isn't this the Slytherin family heirloom "
" yes it is, "I said nonchalantly " are you going to keep it " I wouldn't mind if he did anyways
" why would we do that," he said sounding surprised while another goblin took the locket from him and left with it, where did the goblin enter from I didn't hear the door open
" As far as I know it is goblin made and goblin's like to have their err creations in their own hands "
" That is not quite true ," he said amusement shining in
his eyes
" So you wouldn't want the sword of Gryffindor back either " I raised a brow
" Both are different MR. potter, the Slytherin locket is a Family heirloom hence we can't have it unless and until no person with Slytherin blood is alive or in your case owning the Slytherin name and The sword of griffin door was a gift to Goric Gryffindor himself, the sword was supposed to return to goblins after his death "
" well that's quite interesting anyways while the locket is being sorted I had another request for you "
" What is that ?" he said expressionlessly
" I would like to buy House-elves and I would like to trade through you " Thank god I read Gringotts service books or I will be roaming in knock turn alley know
" How much profit will I get " he leaned a bit forwards
" How much do you prefer, " I said knowing full well that he will be greedy about this
" hmmm say 30 % "
" I say 10 "
" 20 "
" 15 "
" 20," he said again
" 15 " I repeated
"fine 15 % deal
" aa jf b uj h kef sgj j j grr rr r" he said something in gobbledegook
and another goblin with 4 to 5 house-elves trailing behind him err her? came in
" You can select any elf, they are prized according to their abilities and years of experience," he said handing me a few files
" These are the files listing their biodata "
PHOTO

This is elf trafficking! ugh shut up stupid brain and morals
" If I'm not violating any magic bond oaths, May I ask why they are in pair "
" I don't see what any magic bond oaths have to do with this but they are a couple and refuse to work without the other "
I went back to the file and flicked through all of the files before finally deciding
" hmm I'll take four of them," I said handing him the files
" That will be -"
" 1850 gallons total and 277.5 gallons will be your profit, " I said giving him the card, his eye twitched
" yes it will be 1850 gallons " he took the card and swiped it on some rune engraved slate the card started glowing golden
he handed me the card and I saw the amount reduced, yes the card had a feature telling the current amount in the vault
" Well, is there anything else "
I nodded
" I would like to claim my lord and heir ships "
" you can only claim lordships if you are off age or legally emancipated "
" hmm, so 4 years..." I mumbled to myself " well at least I can have my heirship " I said looking at him
" yes these are the heirship rings," he said placing some boxes in front of me
" Would anyone notice the title of heirship being claimed "
" yes the Lord of the House will know when the heirship is claimed "
I nodded again and placed the black ring on my finger, I felt the same cold sensation I felt when Walburga accepted me as an official member of the black family
next, I placed the Evan ring I mildly wondered if Vernon was the Evan house head, after all my maternal grandparents were dead and there must be a Head of house if I only have access to heir rings, this was the reason why the rest of the rings were lord rings there was no Lord of the house at the moment
I felt a sensation again but this time it was like being enveloped in a warm hug.
" Is that all heir-Evan-Black"
" one last thing Noble goblin darkfang," I said smiling
" what is it "
" I would like to buy one of your glamour bracelets that have portkey embedded in them and also I would like to have a list of all the accounts and properties I have access to" I smiled trying to imitate dumbledor
" How did you know about the bracelets nobody does these days," he said looking a bit uneasy for 1st I had information that nobody else did, and me knowing about both the Horcrux and bracelet clearly amplified that, and 2nd my imitation must have worked
" and I assure you that I am not a nobody Sir darkfang," I said of course I was not going to tell him that I read the book
I left Gringotts near 9: 30
~So where are we going next master ~
# to a pet shop #
~to buy me more fish-flavored food? ~
# to buy dog food #
~ I won't eat dog food ~
# it's not for you but for a Cerberus we will meet soon #
a half-hour later I was entering the Grimmauld place again
" K-K-kind m-master harr-rry ma-masters cat f-fled "
I looked at the poor creature, looks like the phantom's disappearance had scared the living shit out of him
" Kreacher" he flinched " the Cat is with me "
*meow* the cat appeared just beside the poor creature's ear
he screamed
" stop screaming " I ordered and he shut up
" it's not your fault that phantom decided to have a night stroll anyways you did a great job with cleaning," I said examining the hall, it wasn't exactly clean but it had less dust in it
" follow me, Kreature "
I went to the kitchen and found that ALL of it was clean
" you did all this yourself ?"
" yes, does master not like it "
" no no I quite appreciate your efforts '" he beamed at the praise
" Kreacher I told you that I was going to bring new house elves"
" yes," he said sounding a bit upset " Kreacher prepared a place for them "
" Kreacher I'm not replacing you are anything, you will be the head of the black family elves till your last breath, I'm bringing in new elves because you cannot handle all this work by yourself but you will be my first elf companion "
" First elf " I looked up " Master never met an elf before Kreacher "
'" No Kreacher I was brought up in a muggle environment and before you even dare insult me about it let me tell you that lord regulus dies to stop Voldemort, regulus knew that if Voldemort got his hands on the locket then equality will be finished, Regulus stood against Voldemort and in a way against all of his ideologies about blood supremacy "
"... K-Kreacher never thought of that "
" So are you still going to insult me about my upbringing and regulus's motto"
" NO! Kreacher will never insult Kind master regulus and his death even if Kreacher has to be with muggles or die"
" good," I said praising myself for successfully getting Kreacher to not gate muggles yah I did feel a bit guilty for manipulating him using regulus's name though
" SO are you ready to meet the new elves "
" yes Kreacher be ready to train them "
" Twinkle!Episky!Grafo!Caedes!" I hard 4 pops and the four elves appeared in front of me
" Welcome to Grimmauld place, I am Harry Potter your new master and this is Kreacher the head elf " Kreacher stood proud at the remainder
" Kreacher will be training you and teaching you about this house and your work, Twinkle " the elf looked up cautiously
" You will be responsible for cooking and washing "
" Episky you will be responsible for cleaning and fixing the house though ask Kreacher before you fix anything, this house is full of dark and deathly objects "
" Caedes you will be helping Episky clean the house "
" Kreacher you will supervise their work, help them understand the house and its' layout, and warn them of any dangerous artefacts and curses in the house "
" Yes master " with that Kreacher and the elves left to do the assigned work
" W-what about m-me master " I felt the house connect to me again this time telling me its layout and location of all the elves, Caedes was lurking near the room
" You can write, am I correct," I said because write, right? always made me feel like I was repeating the same word
" y-yes "
I pulled out my shrunken trunk from my bag and de-shrunk it using the direction the shop owner gave me, I pulled a piece of parchment from it, an ink bottle, and a quill
" Write " she picked up the quill and dipped it in the inkpot

Do not worry Sirius I solemnly swear That I am up to no good and I will free you from the prison in a LEGAL manner so please do me a favour and do not try to escape I know this warning might be useless against your couple brain cells but do try. And if you truly wish to escape please leave a dummy in your place this way the ministry won't know that you escaped
DO NOT TRUST DUMBLEDOOR , DO NOT CONTACT HIM IF YOU ESCAPE AND Come to the house of your nightmares if you escape I cannot explain why in this letter but I may send you more letters soon.
