I do not own harry potter or any characters that jk Rowling created only rick smith, James smith, Maria Sanchez, and Linda smith are mine
July 31 2003 Newark NJ
James wakes up to a knock on the door and then hears his mother's voice
'could this be real' James thought' I have to find out'
"Professor, how are you this morning?"
"Good Ms. Smith and you?
"Well thank you. I better get James and rick so that you can get on your way
Linda smith goes to James room
"James, rick get up the professor is here to take you to get ready for school"
Rick is still asleep so James gets up to wake him up and as he shakes rick, rick throws a punch at him.
"What did you do that for?" rick asks
"You shouldn't have shook me bitch"
"Professor McGonagall is here to take us to get our school supplies"
"Alright I'll be up in a second"
James goes to his closet and gets his clothes for the shower and the shoebox full of money he had made over the years from mowing lawns, raking leaves and shoveling snow. He was glad that he remembered where he put it and that it had all of the money he saved from his original timeline…..$2574.38
20minutes later
James and rick come out of there room to meet professor McGonagall
"Good morning professor" James says as rick wipes his eyes still tired "how are you?"
"Good" McGonagall said "are you excited to go to Hogwarts?"
"Yes" said James and rick together
"Our first stop is diagon ally to get your supplies and change your money to galleons from there we will get your robes."
"How will we get all of the way to England?"
"I have a device here called a portkey" McGonagall said showing them an old worn out boot "this will allow us to go straight to a pub in London called the leaky cauldron and that is where we will go to the entrance to the ally"
Rick and James take ahold of the boot
"Hold on tight… learning"
Just then James felt a hook grab on to his navel making them spin uncontrollably
The leaky cauldron
Tom the barman was looking excited this morning
"Morning tom" said McGonagall
"Morning McGonagall" replied tom "this some new students?"
"Yes I sent fillius to get the rest"
"Well" tom said to rick and James "I hope you enjoy Hogwarts"
James was the only one who spoke "thank you sir"
"You're very welcome"
"Over this way" said McGonagall
As they arrived at the brick wall that was only familiar to James because of the book, he saw McGonagall hit the brick two up and three to the left. Diagon ally looked just like James imagined it, gringotts standing high and tall, the little shops bunched together, it looked marvelous to say the least. McGonagall led them to gringotts and James saw the brilliant silver doors that had words engraved in them that said:
Enter, stranger, but take heed
of what awaits the sin of greed
for those who take, but do not earn,
Must pay most dearly in their turn.
So if you seek beneath our floors
a treasure that was never yours,
Thief, you have been warned, beware
of finding more than treasure there.
Rick just looked at the sign scared of what happens if you steal. McGonagall took them over to the counter where James asked how much it coasted to open an account
"You need 300 galleons to open up an account here" said the goblins at the counter.
"What's a galleon?" rick and James asked at the same time
"Wizards have different money than the muggles" said McGonagall "galleons which are the highest, sickles in the middle, and Knuts which are the least"
"Where are you from?" asked the goblin at the desk
"America" said James
"Well the exchange rate for the USD is $7.35 for galleons, $0.46 for sickles and $0.02 for knuts"
"I have over $2500to exchange"
"Let's see" the goblin said as he counted the money "you have $2574.38 so to exchange it that will be 350 galleons and 4 sickles*, how much would you like in your vault"
"Just 300 the rest I could use to get my supplies."
"Are you willing to take a heritage test for 6 galleons?" asked the goblin "you could see if you have wizard ancestors"
"I don't think that's a good idea" McGonagall said pulling him back "there just out to get money"
"but I think it's worth it to see if I have magic in my family" said James walking back up to the counter "yes sir I would like that very much thank you"
"A wizard who is kind to goblins, that is not a normal trait"
"Well sir im not a normal wizard."
"Glowclaw, come show Mr. Smith to heritage departments director he will want this one personally, this wizard is very nice unlike the normal swine, I mean kind" he switched up looking at McGonagall.
"Please sir call me James" said James
"See what I mean"
"Follow me" said glowclaw
James and rick were lead to the office of killtooth, the director of the heritage department. Glowclaw knocked on the door
"Enter" said killtooth
Glowclaw lead them in. James saw someone who wasn't in the book.
"This better be important I am with another customer"
"I am sorry sir but sharpsword told me to bring these two here to take a test I will lead them to the waiting area"
10 minutes later
The girl walked out and sat at the waiting area.
"Hi my name is James" James said to the girl
"Hi im Maria Sanchez but it turns out that im a descendant of Helga hufflepuff where are you from your accent isn't British im from Los Angeles California"
"Im form Newark new jersey wow I didn't think I would meet someone else from America who brought you here"
"Uh, professor sprout and you?"
"Professor McGonagall"
A goblin walked by "Miss Sanchez?"
"I am Miss Sanchez"
"Please follow me" said the goblin
"Bye" said Maria
"Bye" said James
Killtooth led them into his office
"Mr. J smith and mar r smith it came to my attention that you would like to know your heritage"
"Yes sir" James replied "and please call me James"
"Yeah and call me rick"
"I see that sharpsword wasn't lying about you two being nice you aren't like normal wizards, and please call me tooth that is what my friends call me"
Killtooth went behind his desk and pulled out two pieces of paper and a dagger "this is a special piece of parchment that we use to see the familial lines young wizards are from. Please poke your finger and place a drop of blood on the parchment"
James and rick both did what he said and the parchment glowed green.
The words that appeared on the parchment for rick said:
Rick smith
Son of:
Linda smith (mother)
Kevin Williams (father-deceased from muggle weapon in Newark NJ usa
Descendant of:
Slytherin line (mother)
Assets
Gaunt hut
Vault with 50,564,562 galleons, 12 sickles, and three Knuts
The parchment for James said:
James smith
Son of:
Linda smith (mother
Kevin Williams (father-deceased from muggle weapon in Newark NJ usa
Descendant of:
Slytherin line (mother) (heir)
Assets:
Slytherin manor
25% Hogwarts
Vault with 350,743,680 galleons, 11 sickles, 3 Knuts
"Wow two founders in one day… hold on there is a piece under a disillusionment charm" killtooth dispelled the charm
Soul bond-unknown
"Wow a soul bond too that is rare, I would be careful who I kiss now wouldn't want to activate it yet." Killtooth took out a box and handed it to James "here is the Slytherin heir ring it will only fit on the true heirs hand but will resize itself if you are that heir"
James put the ring on and it glowed green and resized itself to fit
"Perfect, would you like to see your vault now?"
"No thank you but is there a way we could get goblin blade daggers and if possible a credit card?"
"sure" killtooth said and pulled out a box of cards and a bag "here is your card and a bag each to access your vaults, to activate them you need to put a drop of blood on each and it will only work for you"
So the brother once again cut themselves and put a drop on the card and the bag
Now that all is done the goblin blades will be made and put in your vault until you can retrieve them"
"Wait, how does the bag work?"
"I was just getting to that, it seems you owe me 40 galleons 12 for the tests and 28 for the bags and cards so just think 40 galleons"
'40 galleons''40 galleons' James thought and when he looked in the bag 80 galleons were there
"thought it twice didn't you well it would be best just to think it once then that will be good, now for the daggers that will be 400 galleons each and 200 for the unbreakable sheath for a grand total of 3600 galleons and they will be inside of your vault by the time you get out of Hogwarts
James and rick left out of killtooth office and as they were headed to the door James saw a girl accompanied by a goblin in robe instead of a suit and knew that that was Hermione and flitwick, then McGonagall called him over to her
"Flitwick how are you?
"Good Minerva this is miss granger she is coming here to change pounds to galleons"
"Hello miss granger, I am Professor Minerva McGonagall deputy head mistress of Hogwarts and these are rick and James smith two first years from America"
Hello rick, James I am Hermione granger"
"Sup" said rick holing out his hand "im rick" she went to shake his hand but he did weird movements with it
"im sorry Hermione" said James when he saw her looking perplexed "that's how we shake hands in Newark NJ, im James by the way" and he held out his hand and did a proper shake
"Well you will have to show me that when we get to Hogwarts, it looks so cool" said Hermione with gusto
A minute later they were on their way to madam malkins to get robes and McGonagall asked how the blood test went
"Turns out we are related to some family called Slytherin"
"Really should have professor Dumbledore look at that parchment, ah here we are. Madam Malkins robes for all occasions, I'll see you in a few moments"
James saw harry enter and said goodbye to professor McGonagall
"I really don't think they should let the other kind in" James heard a boy who could only be Malfoy say so he decided to have some fun
"Yea they really shouldn't let mudbloods I, Hogwarts too?
"See he gets me." Draco said with his trademark sneer "what do you hate most about them?"
Well I don't think that they should think they are better than us because they aren't"
"I totally agree they should stick to their kind"
"Yea I mean just because they grew up magical doesn't mean that they are any better tha…" James was cut off
"What are you talking about? Mudbloods don't have magic in their families"
"Oh yeah that's purebloods, that's what I meant, purebloods are no better than muggleborns" James could see the look of hatred on Malfoys face "im James smith by the way from Newark NJ, that's in America. And you are?"
"Stuff it mudblood"
"Mouth, mouth mister. Is that any way to speak to the heir of Slytherin?"
"You lying little mudbl…." Draco saw the ring on his finger and shut up. He left as soon as madam malkins told him he could
"Hello, thank you for shutting him up, im harry by the way harry potter"
"James smith, and this is my brother rick, let's see you re the third one we meet today starting Hogwarts."
"Really? Wicked, did you guys get your books yet?" They both shook their heads no. "Alright then because that's where im headed next"
As they finished up harry was waiting for them with a giant who James knew to be hagrid just as McGonagall came back
"E'llo professor McGonagall" hagrid said "harry this is professor McGonagall, she is the deputy headmistress at 'ogwarts she'll be teachin' ya all ab'ut tranfigeratin*"
"Harry potter pleased to see you again, ya know I was there when professor Dumbledore left ya on the dursley porch"
"Really"
"Yes"
"Professor?" hagrid said to McGonagall "could you bring 'arry to get 'is books im 'bout to go to the owl emporium and get him his present, uh o'"
"Sure hagrid could you bring either rick or James so they could kill two birds with one stone so to speak?"
"Sure which one would like to go?"
James turned to rick "hey if you go I'll get your books and pay for your owl too."
"Ok" rick said and hagrid and he left while harry and James went into the book store. They got up to the counter with 3 sets of books for the first year when James saw Hermione with Maria
"hello Hermione, Maria" James said" this is harry potter, harry this is Maria Sanchez and Hermione granger"
"Nice to meet you Maria and Hermione" harry said
"Likewise" they said together as they paid for their books and headed off, same with harry and James who went to ollivanders
As they entered ollivanders, garrik ollivander saw harry
"I wondered when I would be seeing you mister potter, hey I remember when your mother and father bought their first wands, now let's try this one" the first one he gave harry made boxes fly off the shelves, "nope let's try this one" the second made the gas lamp burst" definitely not after three more wands he thought for a second before bringing it out to harry and when harry felt it he felt a heated power surrounding him "curious
"Sorry sir, what's curious
"I remember every wand vie ever sold and it just so happens that the phoenix feather that resides in your wand gave a mother feather just one other, it's curious that you should be destined for this wand when its brother gave you that scar"
"And who owned that wand?"
"We do not speak his name, but I expect great things from you mister potter after all he-who-must-not-be-named did great things, terrible yes but great"
He noticed James "who are you?"
"James smith sir"
"Ok let's see" he pulled down a box and handed the wand to James
James took the wand and felt the same experience as harry "elder and unicorn hair 14 inches sturdy"
They paid for their wands and left when James saw rick "got your wand now we can leave, im tired"
They said their goodbyes and split ways. When they got home McGonagall gave them a port key that will leave at nine thirty to take them to kings cross
