Harry Potter Singer 3

Just to be clear Harry is learning magic much the way hunters learn their craft, from whatever sources they can get their hands on and advice of others. Since Harry has almost no contact with the magical world he has learned magic from various books Bobby and other Hunters have acquired over the years. Since they are used to looking for old books and not new ones the magic would be older and thus different from what Hogwarts teaches. For instance he can make those Golems but he does not know Lumos. This will become important when he gets to Hogwarts. Harry will know several languages including French and Spanish at least in year one this will increase as time goes on.

After the war ended Dumbledore and several of his associates had been fighting for a provision in the Wizagmonot to grant Muggle born and raised witches and wizards a mentor family, someone they could do their shopping with who could answer questions teachers simply are not equipped to handle. This was also designed to help merge the two worlds to try and prevent another Grindelwald. Finally they had gotten it passed the year prior and spent the year getting a number of families who would sign on to be mentors. The idea is one family to mentor this of course may not happen every year.

When Harry and Bobby decide to go to Diagon Alley for Harry's school supplies they decide to make a whole vacation of it. They even convince John to allow Sam and Dean to tag along for a small vacation. John knows his boys will be safe with Bobby and so while he is reluctant to let them go he knows it will be the last time they see each other for awhile since it was explained Harry had to go to Druid school. When John had found out about Harry being a druid it had taken awhile and some wonderful books but he did accept that it was natural and not inherently evil. His boys had learned a few years later and while they where sad to learn they couldn't simply become druids they had only gotten closer since. Truly this was the family he had always wanted for his boys. It may not be the life he wanted but it sure was the family he wanted.

While Dean had always hated flying something about it just seeming wrong he was willing to take this flight and one other to spend time with his little cousin Harry. While they may not actually be related they thought themselves as family and as Uncle Bobby always said 'Family don't end at blood'. So when this chance to not only go to England on a real vacation but to see some of this magical world that Harry would be joining he knew he had to go. He had seen some of the wondrous things Harry could do and thought if this is what a kid can do what kind of wonders are the adults able to do.

After they check in to the hotel they order dinner and get some rest. That next day they meet their escort down in the lobby.

Cyrus Greengrass had always been on the more progressive side of the pureblood families. Not the side of Dumbledore who advocated for true equality for everyone at all times but definitely not like Voldemort either who wanted to kill all none purebloods. He realized from an early age that they needed an influx of new blood and ideas into the world in order for it to grow and remain healthy. That didn't mean he wanted to see traditions and family history erased, quite the opposite actually. So when he had heard about this mentorship thing that Dumbledore wanted passed he had to some heavy thinking and after years of revisions he felt confident in putting his power behind it and thus with the help of the neutrals the bill passed. After discussing it with his wife and children they agree to mentor a family. When they agreed they did not expect the family to be American.

They had put off Daphne's Hogwarts shopping so they could it all at the same time and spend the day with the Singer's. When they arrived at the Hotel that morning they sure didn't expect any of the people who walked out of the elevator. Out of the elevator came this group of 4 one older gentleman and three kids all dressed in flannel and jeans. The adult wore what he has been told is a trucker hat while one of the eldest kids wore a leather jacket and the other a cowboy hat. The youngest looked to be around Astoria's age.

When Bobby got off the elevator he immediately picked out the mentor family they had been assigned. They didn't stand out per say but hunter instincts know when something just doesn't fit and this family just didn't fit. After walking over he introduces himself and the kids and after introductions are done they head to the Leaky Cauldron to enter the magical world.

After walking into the alley the first stop is of course Gringotts.

"The bankers are Goblins and are fierce warriors I do recommend you not make them angry." Cyrus explains

Sam and Dean nod while Bobby and Harry smile knowingly. They walk in and head over to an available teller. "Hello great warrior me and my son need some money from his account we will of course compensate your time with either money or the blood of those who have wronged you." Bobby says in Goblin

"Thank you for your kind words not often do your kind speak our language on these shores. I would ask for the blood of those who wronged me but your kind outlawed that so I will have to settle for a small fee. What account is it you wish to be accessing?" The teller responds

"The Potter vault I as his guardian have been granted partial access by Gringotts South Dakota. It is legal there for you take the blood of those who wronged you. These druids here certainly leave much to be desired. I understand your frustration. Take what you feel is right and if I find it lacking I will be most displeased at your disrespect." Bobby answers handing over the key

"The potter account? Gringotts South Dakota in AMerica? So that is where he has been. Many have came seeking access to that vault either claiming Harry Potter dead or the right of guardian. We have of course denied all access. We can move the vault to America if that is where he will be staying. I will take what is owed and nothing more. Perhaps it is time I transfer branches." The Goblin says with a smile

Bobby nods and after receiving his money says "A transfer of the vault would be quite nice. May you find many allies in your future and much blood to be spilt."

Cyrus can't help but be in awe of this. A muggle speaks to Goblins in their language and the Goblin even smiles. After leaving the Bank Bobby explains "Harry may be muggle raised but we have a relationship with Gringotts it helps with the fan mail."

Daphne turns towards Mr. Singer at this "Fan mail? Mr. Singer who gets the fan mail and how does Gringotts help with it?"

Bobby smiles "Call me Bobby everyone does. Harry here gets it. See before I adopted him his name was Harry Potter. Mostly they filter the mail and get rid of malicious mail and marriage contracts things like that. They also help distribute the gifts that Harry seems to get regularly."

This stuns the Greengrasses no knew what happened to the Potter child but to hear he had been raised in America by a muggle certainly was an interesting development. "That explains the responses I got to my letters. I was always so happy to get one they even remembered my birthday last year" Astoria said

Harry smiles "That was just good timing mostly. I don't respond to every letter but every letter gets a response. We also made files for all the little girls so that we could send them something for either their birthday or christmas at least once. I do read every letter at least I do now."

That got Daphne to blush a bit knowing what she had wrote in some of her early letters to Harry. They continue shopping and talking and getting to know each other. Finally its time for the last two stops of the day Olivanders and the Book store. When they get to Olivanders Harry and Daphne both come in Along with Cyrus and Bobby. Sam and Dean are hanging out with Astoria and Susan Greengrass.

Olivander comes out from the back and greets his new customers "Cyrus 12in dragon heartstring and ebony very good wand how is it treating you? And you gentleman I don't believe I made your wand but then your an American so its no surpise. I assume we are looking for wands for these two children here?"

Cyrus nods "it works as well as the first day I bought it. Yes we are here for my daughter and Mr. Singer here."

Olivander nods and asks who wants to go first. Harry shrugs and Daphne urges him to go first. He nods and goes first. Olivander begins pulling wands out all manor of wands finally after about a half hour he goes to the back and comes back with a small case. When he sets the case on the table he opens it and says "You already have a wand or at least something in the vein of one if I am not mistaken and that is why none in my shop will work for you. I want you to reach into this case and grasp a piece of wood that feels right to you. That will be your wand of record."

Harry reaches into the case and begins running his hand over the various sticks in the case finally coming across one that just feels right. He grabs it and brings out a stick of immense beauty.

"Lignum vitae the wood of Merlin. Never have I ever made a wand of that it seems to reject all core types. It is also the only one I have. Since I can not make a wand of it it is yours as a gift." Olivander says almost in awe of what Harry pulled.

After that Daphne finds her wand rather quickly and they head towards the book store. When they arrive Harry is rather disheartened by the selection and it shows on his face. "What has your face looking like that? This is my favorite store its always got the most fascinating books." Daphne asked

Harry replies "Well then you would love our library perhaps I can show you one day you have been so good to me and my family today. I don't know I was expecting more books on things like battle transfiguration and conjuration and less books like 101 mildly annoying curses to annoy your foe."

Daphne hearing what he is looking for is stunned hearing this from an 11 year old "Harry have you been studying things like that? I would love to see your library. Perhaps we can make a vacation of it like your family is doing here?"

Harry nods "Yeah according to Professor Babbling I started off learning spells taught beyond mastery level. I never knew this of course they were simply the books we had acquired and so I learned from them. She did say I would learn theory and why magic works at Hogwarts that and meeting other Druids is why I agreed to give it a trial for a year."

Daphne looks at him confusedly "Druids? What are Druids? Professor Babbling came and talked to you? You won't have her till third year."

Harry smiles "Yeah I guess she was helping this year with introductions. Druids are what we are people who are born with magic as a gift. It is what we used to be called before the statute of secrecy and still are called in many places around the world. I won't have her at all. I am not taking ancient runes since the ones she is teaching I have learned and can read and write fluently. I am self studying a few other runic languages this year if you would like to join?"

Daphne is stunned by this "Your fluent in Runes? I would love to do that what runic language are you starting with?"

Harry nods "I am learning Chinese. They seem to be a base for many of the surrounding regions languages so it seemed a good place to start (see notes at the end)"

Once they got their books and had everything dropped off at the hotel the Greengrasses insisted they go out for dinner. After that they all head their own ways.

Bobby and his boys go all touristy all over England for the next week and then head home. Everyone getting ready for the school year.

Harry is 11 when he looks at the various character languages of Asia of course they look similar add in ancient chinese is almost 3500 years old according to artifacts of course he would assume it was the basis. In this fiction I will be calling any character or symbol based language runes as to me that makes sense to be an archetype. I know hieroglyphs are different from runes which are different from character langues but here they will all fall under the same category.
