(Hogwarts- Headmaster's office)
"This is all your fault Albus!" Sirius screamed.
"Now Sirius-" He tried to sooth the enraged man.
"He could be here but you screwed it up!" He yelled.
"I know." He said.
Sirius paused before sighing. "I'm sorry." He sat down. "I know you were trying to protect him."
"I understand your rage, Sirius. I was told that he had been there. Had I known I would have done something sooner." He said.
"I know. I just can't stop imagining all the things he has been through and will go through while he remains missing." He hated that he went after Peter instead of staying with his godson.
"I understand. We will find him, Sirius." Albus promised.
"Okay."
"You should go."
"Yeah." He left.
As soon as he felt Sirius leave did he drop his mask. He smirked knowing that Black was still on his side and knew nothing of his plans or what he had already done. It had taken a year for Sirius to contact him after his escape from Azkaban. If Potter had been at school it would have been sooner. The thought of Potter brought a scowl to his face.
"That ungrateful boy." He muttered.
When it came time for Potter to come to school he never showed up. He went looking and found out that Harry ran away on his seventh birthday. Two months later the Dursleys moved to Japan then France then to Italy. He lost track after that and they remain missing. A year after they moved their house had blown up due to leaky gas pipes and only one man had been injured.
For almost four years he searched and had yet to find the boy. His reputation had taken a hit. Unknown to the wizarding world he had been banned from the bank. Due to Potter being missing and for such a long time the goblins looked into the Potter's account. They found that he had stolen from the young heir.
He growled as he thought about it. He then called Severus. Hopefully he found his missing weapon.
(With Harry)
It was six am when his alarm went off. He got out of bed and looked at himself in the mirror. He used his gift to change his hair red and his eyes ice blue. He turned pale and added some freckles. He now looked eighteen. He put on his uniform and left.
It didn't take him long to get to the bakery he worked at. He unlocked it and entered. He began setting up when the owner entered.
"Hello Mr. Diamond." The man greeted.
"Good morning Mr. Mason." He greeted him back.
"Thank you for getting here early to open up for me." He said.
"Not a problem. I don't have any classes today." He shrugged.
Harry went to a community college for business. His next class day was the next day. Then he would start working the night shift.
"Alice will be here in an hour." He told his employee.
"Alright."
"When she does come back into the kitchen." He said.
"Okay." He nodded.
The older man went to enter the kitchen before he remembered something and turned to look at Harry. "Did the coffee machine get fixed?"
"Yeah. Andrew did it yesterday." He assured him.
"Perfect." He smiled.
"Yup~" He sang.
Mr. Mason rolled his eyes. "See you in a few."
"Okay."
(With Voldemort)
"Lucius?" He called for the blonde.
"Yes my lord?" He asked.
"I have some more information on Potter for you to use." He told him.
"Okay." He took out some paper and a quill.
"It turns out that he works at a bakery." He said.
"That will help to limit where the uniform came from." He said.
"Indeed. He also appears to be a metamorphmagus." He said.
"What?!" Lucius looked shocked.
"I watched him change his looks to short red hair, pale, freckles, ice blue eyes, and appear to be at least eighteen, maybe nineteen or twenty. His boss called him Mr. Diamond." He said.
"I'll have it looked into." He said.
"Good. Thank you."
"You're welcome."
(With Dumbledore and Snape.)
"You called Albus?" Severus drawled as he entered the office.
"Any news?" He asked.
"No."
"Damn."
"Indeed."
"Does he?" He asked.
"No." He answered.
"Good, good." That was a relief.
"Indeed."
"What does he think of Potter being missing?" He asked.
"He doesn't believe he is." Severus informed him.
"What do you mean?" He asked in confusion.
"He believes you are training him and you just said that Potter is missing to keep him distracted by looking for him." He answered.
"So he stopped?" He asked.
"For now." He drawled.
"Good." He sighed in relief.
"Anything else?" He asked.
"No."
"Then I shall take my leave." The potion master said.
"Of course." He nodded.
Severus left the office. He used a personal elf to send reports to his Lord. This way Dumbledore didn't suspect him of being a spy to the dark. Oh he couldn't wait to see the look on the old man's face when he realized Severus was truly dark.
"Professor Snape." The twins greeted.
"What do you two dunderheads want?" He asked.
"We left our homework on your desk." They all knew it wasn't school work.
"Good. Don't forget next time." He told them.
"Yes sir."
"We won't." The two left and he entered his office.
Fred and George Weasley were the last ones anyone would suspect as death eaters. They were unmarked and had been loyal to the dark lord since their third year. They had found out a couple months later that their uncles were alive and also loyal to the dark.
In order to help the dark they faked their own deaths and changed their looks. Now they had blond hair and brown eyes. They were one of two groups of pranksters on the do side. They used their pranks to ensure chaos, distraction, and used to capture the enemy. Unknown to anyone they had custody of the twins.
Fred and George had seen the headmaster's true self when Potter never showed up. They had been sent to his office and the man was throwing a fit. Luckily Snape and Quirrell/Voldemort helped them. Soon they learned the truth.
Their homework was to spy on the students and teachers and hand in monthly reports. They also worked with their uncles on creating pranks. They were the second set of dark pranksters. No one would connect them since they dissed the dark pranksters whenever they were brought up. Soon the dark would 'kill' them and they would stay with the dark.
Severus wrote the letter before he sent it off with the twins' report. Severus then began grading essays.
(With Harry)
"Morning Leo." A brunette woman greeted him.
"Morning Alice." He smiled at her.
"Did dad say whether I worked the counter or in the kitchen?" She asked.
"Yeah. Today you work the counter." He told her.
"Okay. Let me put my stuff in the locker." She said.
"Okay."
A couple minutes later she returned. "Alrighty I'm ready to take over."
"Okay." Once she was signed in he went into the kitchen.
"Today you'll be in charge of the cookies." He told him.
"Okay. Oh Andrew called to say he would be late. His break line got damaged so he is having it towed and then he'll be coming in." Leo said.
"I see. Does Alice know?" He asked.
"Yes." He said.
"Still can't believe he's marrying my daughter soon." The man sighed.
Leo tilted his head. "Why?"
"A couple months ago she hated his guts." He said.
"True." It had been hilarious.
"Oh well as long as she's happy." He said.
"Exactly."
"Anyway, how is school?" He asked.
"Good." It amused him that he was top of his class considering he was technically fourteen.
"How is Alice doing?" They shared some classes.
"Better now that we have a new professor." He said.
"That's good." He sighed in relief.
"Yup."
"For a second I was worried I wouldn't be able to give her the family bakery." He said.
"So was she. Alice loves this place." He said.
"I know."
"We are just lucky the school found him smoking weed and then realized that he wasn't teaching his class since he was too high. The minute we were informed she almost started dancing and celebrating that she would get her business degree after all." He said.
Leo was happy with it as well. He too had been failing the class. Both he and Alice had been studying hard but they always failed the test. The man was too high to grade. Leo wasn't against the use of marijuana. He just believed it should be used responsibly. It didn't help that because the professor had been so high it affected his students, like Leo.
"She saved the dancing for when she came home." Mr. Mason said in amusement.
"Professor Lang makes the class fun." He said.
"She did mention that." He said.
"What between wedding plans?" He smirked.
Mr. Mason laughed. "Yes."
"I'm so glad that I have my tux already." He said.
"I bet." The man laughed once more. "Both Amber and Alice are obsessing over this wedding."
"I know. Yesterday both your wife and daughter made the tailor cry." Leo felt for the man.
"I know. Poor man." He said.
"Poor us." He snorted.
The two laughed once more. Soon the bakery was filled with hungry customers and they were too busy to chat. By the end of the day all workers were exhausted. Leo was the first to leave.
"See ya Leo. Get home safely." Alice said.
"I will. See ya! Night Mr. Mason, Andrew." He said.
"Night Leo." Andrew waved at him.
"Good night Mr. Diamond."
Leo made his way home. Once he was back at his apartment he returned his features back. He put his uniform into the hamper and put on a pair of light blue plaid pajama pants and a long sleeve black shirt.
Harry made himself some dinner then watched some t.v. When it hit eleven he went to bed.
(With Voldemort and Lucius)
"Good. Dumbledore believes I'm no longer looking for Potter." The dark lord said after reading the letter.
"Good. I also have good news." Lucius said.
Voldemort looked at the blond in interest. "What is it?"
"I managed to find information on Mr. Potter's alias, Mr. Diamond." He said.
"Go on." He urged.
"Full name is Leonard Jasper Diamond. He graduated first of his class from muggle high school. He is an orphan but thanks to his grades he received a scholarship. He also has a steady job. He has worked at Mr. Mason's bakery since he was sixteen. He is going to a community college to get his business degree. He lives in an apartment across from the Leaky Cauldron." He revealed.
"Good work." He praised.
"Thank you my lord."
"We leave tomorrow."
"Of course."
