The alarm going off had both of the teens rolling out of bed at six am and the start of their first day of learning. They quickly showered to wake up and dressed before heading to breakfast at seven. At eight, Mrs. Holmes led the teens into the medical office and after a quick check by Mrs. Holmes she assigned some potions that Harry had to take every day for three months. These potions would help his malnutrition and stunted growth and get him up to where he was supposed to be. She was surprised by the basilisk poison in his system and he explained how he had been bitten when he was twelve and how Dumbledore's phoenix had healed him. By the time he was finished with the potions he stood at six foot one inch instead of his five foot five and weighed fifteen stones instead of the eight when he came in. His eyesight wouldn't be corrected until the potion was ready. It took nearly a month to brew, but at the end of that first month, he spent three days regrowing his optic nerves and he had perfect vision which Daphne loved because she could see his eyes clearly.
The first month also saw them flying through revisions of first year potions, transfiguration, DADA, herbology, charms, and astronomy. This also saw Harry learning arithmancy and runes while it was revision for Daphne. He struggled with runes, but soared through arithmancy and was able to finish half of the third year course in the first month due to his muggle schooling. Runes he was able to get a quarter through the books but he waded through with determination. On Estate Management, Daphne and Harry learned quite a bit; but even then they were both over their heads, due to all the businesses that Harry owned shares in and a lot were in the United States. One thing he planned on doing was getting some of his family wine so they could stock a wine cellar when they got to where they were going to go because Bloodthirst had included some of them in the time dilatation for them to enjoy with private meals.
As for the memory viewing, Harry and Daphne dove into them with a vengeance. Learning his mother's versions of runes and arithmancy, his father's battle magic with transfiguration and Dada combined. At the same time they both learned how to drive (on the "wrong" side of the road, as they would be driving in the US, very soon) and while Harry went for auto mechanic and how to fix a car, Daphne took classes in cooking, canning and food storage for winter as well as how to run a house hold.
One night Daphne asked, "Harry, how did you get all those scars?"
Harry froze and slowly looked at his future wife in fear.
"Harry?"
Harry closed his eyes and took a deep breath before responding, "Please don't make me."
"Harry I want to know how your back and chest got so scarred. I won't judge you. I am trying to understand you," Daphne begged.
As a tear ran from his right eye he looked up into Daphne's blue eyes and in a low voice that could be barely heard he replied, "My uncle and cousin."
"What do you mean?" Daphne asked as she scooted closer to him when she saw the tear.
"When I was fifteen months old, I was left on the doorsteps of my aunt and uncle. They hate me… no not hate they despise me and consider me a waste of air. For ten long lonely years I was beaten if I did better than my cousin. Showed accidental magic or even looked at them wrong. My uncle's favorite disciplinary tool was a belt with studs. He had a bad day, it was the freaks fault. A sale didn't go through. It's the freaks fault. Dudley failed a test, it's the freaks fault. Dudley stubbed a toe, it's the freaks fault. Petrol went up, it's the freaks fault. Every time I was beaten for it. Then there was Dudley. If I was seen talking to someone of receiving something from the cooks, him and his gang would chase me and beat me up if they caught me. Then the letters started coming in and I found out I wasn't a freak but a wizard. They tried to run but Hagrid found us and gave my cousin a pig's tail and myself a letter where I found out I was a wizard and not a freak. After that it got a little better but not by much," Harry replied.
By the time Harry finished telling Daphne his history tears were running from both their eyes and Daphne had him a tight hug as she fumed inside. Once Harry was asleep, she wrote up a letter that she would give Bloodthirst on everything Harry had told her while in her journal she vowed vengeance. A few days later she gave the letter to Thorncrusher so he could give it to Bloodthirst and asked him to seek grievance against his mother's sister's family. The revenge would be brought down on them by the goblins because in the records of the House of Potter she saw payments made to the Dursleys for the welfare of Harry and goblins hate thieves. She asked them not to go after Dudley because he was just as victim as Harry was but it was through approval by his father for the abuse on Harry, it all stemmed to two men. Vernon Dursleys and Albus Dumbledore and in the letter she made sure that she considered both of them guilty of the abuse.
They also went over the plan for when they were going to America and how they would travel. Harry's mother had left maps and suggestions and she suggested that they spend the first week in Key West, then travel to Orlando and go to the parks. Her reason was all children should go to Disney World but Harry and Daphne decided they would wait until they got to California and go to Disney Land from the Memories of Lily's father taking her family there back in the late sixties when they flew to California, they would then travel up highway 75 to I-10 and across to Mobile, Alabama, where they were to meet with an Alexander Jones to pick up some more memory vials, and then continue on I-10 to highway I-12 taking it to the junction of I-55 to meet Craig Whittleson in Hammond. Then they would travel up I-55 to Jackson, Mississippi, where they were to meet Diana White. After that it was straight up 55 to the I-64 and loop around the west side of Saint Louis, and across to I-70 and straight into Kansas City so Harry could take his OWLS before heading to the West Coast. After Harry's OWLS Lily suggested several ways to get to the West Coast but she suggested that they go to Arizona to see the Grand Canyon and then into California and up I-5, to Seattle where Daphne would take her OWLS. She suggested that they split them into two cities that way if Dumbledore saw Harry's, he wouldn't see Daphne's and assume they were together. While Daphne was taking her OWLs Harry could find a ferry or some type of transport to take them to their final destination. Lily also suggested they stock up and buy supplies for their house and store them in a trailer because where they were going it was expensive to live. She had left a list of items she thought they'd need where they were going. Harry and Daphne decided they would buy the supplies as they headed across country. With their magic they could make the trailer larger on the inside and lighter as well or she suggested magical containers like trunks and cabinets as well as magical fridges and refers.
The first month came to an end and they celebrated Daphne's birthday on July fifteenth. She was now fifteen years old and Harry presented her with one of the gifts he had bought at Harrods. It was a diamond and sapphire necklace and earrings that cost eleven thousand pounds. When he had bought them, the manager of the store tried to refuse but his black bank card and a call to the bank quickly had the sale completed and the items stored in his pack.

Deloris Umbridge, senior secretary to the minister waddled up Diagon Alley; she was heading for the Daily Prophet to give the editor a new set of slanderous stories to print on the liar Harry Potter. She really liked the one written about how he was a Parselmouth and had attacked his fellow students in his second year. But the ones that just dug at his character were really written well and should see his image tarnished more and help her dear sweet Corny as she called him in private.
Pushing the door open to the office, she waddled past the receptionist and headed for the editor's office. Not even knocking she barged in and dropped the stories on the desk in front of the man.
"You can knock," Cuffe snarled out as he picked up the papers and looked them over.
In her oversweet tune she replied, "I don't need to. Those are for tomorrow's paper. See that their printed."
Cuffe took the stories quickly read them, and dropped them in the bin, "Sorry I cannot do that. The majority owner says no more attacks on Dumbledore or Potter."
"My dear, dear man you must be confused, the ministry is the majority owner and you will print them…"
"No you're not the majority owner. The ministry owns twenty-four percent of the paper. The paper has another majority owner who owns forty-nine percent and he told us to stop," Cuffe replied as he thought, 'Stuff that up your toad arse.'
'They lied, we own…'
"They didn't lie, and they are a Most Noble and Ancient House and we were told to do so. Now that will be all," Cuffe said as he pointed to the door.
"Who are they?" Umbridge demanded.
"I was told not to say. Now good day," Cuffe replied.
"The minister will hear about this!" Umbridge shrieked and left the room in a fit of anger.
As the door was slammed closed, Cuffe said, "Like I care?"
The fallout would see the minister storming into the paper and being turned away with the help of the paper's lawyers. They told the minister the new rules that had been implemented, and that all stories must be backed by pensive memories. Skeeter was pissed that her stories were being trash-binned as well as several other who refused to submit pensive memories to be viewed. By the end of the week, after several scathing editorials were written by Cuffe, the paper's circulation climbed by twenty percent as they were seen doing a good thing.
The ministry would then start its own paper, but it would fail within months due to the new attitude at the Daily Prophet and a lack of subscribers to the new paper.

The second month saw Harry and Daphne crawling through their second year's education. Harry finished his third year arithmancy, and picked up the Runes pace. During this time, Harry and Daphne went through the memories. Harry particular went after the rifle and pistol memories on how to handle and use firearms that his mother suggested. They also went through the ones on History of Magic, the one course they didn't have a teacher for. The memories for that class were from an ICW instructor and not from old Binns class, where they fall asleep every time so they learned a lot that was taught on the ICW OWLS and NEWTS.
Even Bill was using the helmet to learn more of the muggle world while Harry and Daphne were in class with the other tutors. By the second week and their third test of their classes in the time dilatation, they passed with flying colors. Their biggest thing was trying to do the homework for what were basically four classes per class since the classes were four hours long. Homework took most of their free time on Saturday and Sunday and some on Friday nights but still allowed them to use the helmets at least once a night and nights to relax or for Daphne to teach him what he needed to know as a Lord.
The third week of the second month saw them finishing up their second year studies and the forth week was revision of the second year and testing to see how they stood. Bill and the rest of the tutors were determined that the two teens would pass their OWLS with an O on all their class examines. With the second year courses finished they took a weekend off and then Harry finishing up third year arithmancy and runes both were ecstatic that they were ahead of schedule. While outside time dilation, things set in motion by Bloodthirst were coming to a head.

Cornelius Fudge stormed through the front doors to the Daily Prophet with Umbridge and his two guards behind him and demanded to see Cuffe. Ten minutes later he was shown into the editor's office where he found Cuffe behind his desk and another man he didn't know sitting to his side.
"You, get out," Fudge snarled out in anger at the man.
Devon Blackshire smirked at the minster and said, "No."
"NO! WHAT DO YOU MEAN NO? DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?" Fudge yelled as spit flew from his mouth.
"Yes, a loud and thoroughly obnoxious man with delusions of grandeur because he is the minister of magic," Devon replied, and then said, "Now shut up and listen!"
Fudge started turning purple as the man shut him down.
"My name is Devon Blackshire and I'm the personal lawyer for the majority owner of this paper a paper that is a private business venture that happens to partially owned by the ministry. Now my client owns forty-nine percent of the company. They are also a Most Ancient and Noble House, and no, I am not going to tell you which family as I don't have permission to tell you. Your attacks against Harry Potter and Albus Dumbledore stop … now! This paper is going to get respectable or else it's going to be shut down and reorganized…"
"Aurors arrest this man for sedation and treason," Fudge screamed out.
"Really? You really want to arrest me on trumped up charges? Gringotts would just love that," Devon replied.
"What do those creatures of near intelligence have to do with anything," sneered Umbridge.
"Well I am employed by them as well and I was sent here by them at the behest of the Most Noble and Ancient House who owns a good chunk of this business. What do you think will happen?"
"Nothing would happen. Aurors take this man to Azkaban, right now," Fudge ordered with spit flying from his mouth once again.
"Really? Are you really that bloody stupid," Devon replied as he touched his lapel, "Bloodthirst did you hear all this?"
"We heard. I am filing seizure of vaults at this time of Fudge and Umbridge, and I mean all vaults," a voice came back,
"YOU CAN'T DO THAT!" Umbridge screamed out.
"We can, by treaty of 1721, for threatening of Gringotts' employees," the voice replied.
Umbridge's mouth snapped shut at those words but her mind was racing with thoughts on how to get around that treaty, but never being very strong in the history of magic, she had no idea how.
Fudge had shut down as he thought of what was going to be printed and they… he had no way to stop it. Turning he left the office and headed back to the ministry to think of a way to get control of the paper. It was during this time that Umbridge thought of starting their own paper so they could print what they wanted. It would take several weeks to set up and they would need to find a press, but they would succeed with the help of his friends like the Malfoys.

The third month saw the pair delving into more training and relearning their third year subjects. Thorncrusher had switched from Estate Management to Basic Enchanting since Harry was caught up on his estate. While this was going on both Daphne and Harry had been using the helmets on obscure magic's that Lily had learned or bought. They learned Occlumency from the helmets and both found the memorizing was easy and fulfilling, as it brought them closer to their mothers. Daphne's mum was an enchantress, and the helmets they were using were enchanted by Lily Potter and the memories had them flying through Thorncrusher's class.
Also during this time, Harry started learning fourth year runes and arithmancy while it was review for Daphne. Bill also taught them some curse breaking, so he could show how the two classes worked together in the field. He was hoping to lure the two into the field not knowing that neither would be interested in it. They had other plans and those plans were to live their lives and raise a family.
Harry's birthday came around and he was now fifteen years of age. Everyone under time dilatation threw him a party and small gifts were given. From Thorncrusher he was given a dagger that was razor sharp and could cut through anything. Mr. Dwight gave them a potion that would help find their Animagus form. Bill gifted Harry an advanced book on curse detections, and another one on wards. Mrs. Lanlock supplied him with a salve that if they put it on his back every night for a month, most of the scars would vanish. She also gifted him with a potion book on rare potions from her own library. Mr. Brindle gave each of them a wand holster while Mrs. Holmes gave him a set of defensive books on DADA. Daphne gave him the best one when she said that she would work to make their future marriage work and they would be able to give a talk in the far future to their grandchildren about their lives and she promised him she would give as many children that he wanted so he could have the life he never had. To him, this last was the one thing he wanted most, a family to call his own.

Dobby popped into #4 Privet drive and started placing elf wards around the house as Bloodthirst had recommended when he called him. The wards would prevent Mad Eye from seeing anything into the house and so they would not realize that Master Potter was not in residence. He also set it up where his shadow would be seen walking in front of the upstairs bedroom reading a book or eating at his desk. At the same time he placed a charm on the Dursleys to ignore that Harry wasn't there or not doing the chores like he was supposed to.
Dobby's deception was so good that he fooled all his watchers including Remus and his heightened sense of smell that he wasn't there. By the end of the week, Dumbledore was so convinced that his weapon was really where he was supposed to be that he left for the ICW meeting he was to chair that he would have missed and in another reality he would have been removed for non compliance. Instead he held onto his position and was able to quietly gather support against Tom.

The following month saw Harry and Daphne flying through their courses except for runes for Harry. He was still having trouble memorizing the hundreds of runes he would need for the fourth year tests that Bill would give him. In Charms, Harry taught Daphne and Mrs. Holmes and Mr. Dwight how to cast the Patronus Charm. Daphne's was a snake, while Mrs. Holmes and Mr. Dwight were an owl and a rabbit. Transfiguration under Mr. Dwight saw them doing vanishing spells and the start on the Animagus Transfiguration. DADA under Mrs. Holmes saw them learning spells from the United States and Japan. She also taught them Japanese so they could cast them without anyone knowing what spell was cast. Mr. Brindle worked on fourth and fifth year charms and Mrs. Lanlock saw to their teaching in potions and herbology. When they were finished with fourth year Herbology, Harry promised Daphne that they would have a set of greenhouses where they'd grow magical plants for her potions. Daphne excelled at Potions with a 0++ while Harry was running a strong EE due to Snape killing his interest in the class but Mrs. Lanlock was slowly turning him onto the class.
The next several months brought both teens up to ICW standards, which were far in advance of the British standards which had been watered down over the years by the Ministry because purebloods couldn't be seen doing worse than mudbloods. Daphne also started teaching Harry Latin with the help of the pensive helmets. Both teens were surprised one morning when they walked into the lounge to see Mr. Dwight working on a Christmas tree while Mr. Brindle was using charms like Professor Flitwick did during the Christmas holidays. They were both surprised that they had been under time dilatation for six months and had another nine to go.
It would take the next nine months for them to achieve it but they would become Animagus. Neither were surprised about their forms because of the potion they had taken. Daphne was a Diamondback Rattler while Harry was Peregrine Falcon. They would both register when they took their OWLS in the United States so they would be compliant of the law.
By the eighth month in time dilation, they had started their sixth year studies and were working towards their NEWTS, they just wished they could take both OWLS and NEWTS at the same time but the law said they could only take one set at a time and a year must elapse between the tests. So they planned to take their OWLS in Kansas City and Seattle this year and next summer they would go back to Seattle and take their NEWTS finishing up their schooling and maybe later they would take masteries if they wanted.
One morning, fourteen months into the time dilation, Harry was running early for Charms and opened the door to see a note written on the blackboard. Sitting down, he opened the book as the blackboard said and started reading the next chapter. He was deeply engrossed in the book when he heard a noise and looked up as Daphne came into the classroom and smiled, "Good Morning, love" he said as he set the charms book he was studying to the side.
"Daphne returned the smile as she walked over and sat down beside her future husband, "Good morning to you as well."
"Did you sleep well?" Harry asked.
"I did. What about you?" Daphne asked as she opened her bag, pulled out her rune books and scribing equipment, and quickly set them up.
"I did. Mr. Brindle won't be here today. He has a meeting with all our other teachers and suggested we self study for our OWL examines," Harry said as he pointed to the note on the board.
Daphne looked at the board, read the note and sat down next to Harry and pulled out her charms book and started reading. She knew that they were going to be taking practice exams in the middle of the next month so this was all review on OWL level charms.
For the next three weeks all it was, was review of their classes for their OWLS. On Monday the middle of the fifteenth month, they started their OWL testing with Charms, followed by Transfiguration. By the end of the week both of them were exhausted. All they did, all weekend, was sleep, eat, and go back to sleep trying to rebuild their energy levels. They would spend the next two weeks using the pensive helmets going through as much as possible. Daphne found some interesting items that she wanted to learn like knitting and sewing and Harry found some items that would be classified as hobbies. During the last fifteen months they each kept a journal about their journey through the time dilation that one day far in the future it would be turned into a book.
The night before they slept for the last night in time dilation, they packed up all their belongings, had a last dinner with all their teachers and then went to bed early because they wanted to be up early to spend the last few minutes with their new close friends and tutors before they left the rooms to travel on to their new life. Daphne and Harry were now sixteen years of age and when they left the room they would travel back in time one more month after their wedding and would celebrate their birthdays once again, turning seventeen. They had the next part of the escape mission planned out with the help of Bloodthirst and a packet of papers that Thorncrusher had given them. They would get married in Gretna Green, come back to the bank, say goodbye to their loved ones and travel back in time one month. They would then fly from Heathrow to Fort Lauderdale to start their new life. Once in Fort Lauderdale they would take a seven day cruise through the Bahamas before returning to Fort Lauderdale. After picking up their vehicle that Blood thirst had on order for them they'd head north up Lily's planned route. Going over the cruise they found out that the Nordic Empress would leave the day following their arrival in Fort Lauderdale. Bloodthirst had booked the honeymoon suite for them.
A few days after they caught up to when they went back in time at Gringotts, Harry would put his head of house ring on and give Daphne her ring to make her Lady Potter of the Most Ancient and Noble House of Potter. Bloodthirst said that the blood wards around his aunt's house would fall within three to five days (but they would be surprised that they lasted two weeks before falling and Dumbledore had an emergency meeting at the ICW that he couldn't miss), which would have Dumbledore rushing to the house to find out why. By that time they should be at their final destination and settling in at Winter Haven the hoped but each would be wearing an amulet that would protect them from scrying and prevent Fawkes or Owls to locate them. A mail redirection charm was also cast on them and mail would be sent to a Gringotts Mail box that they would have with them.
Thorncrusher came by and handed a shrunken trunk to them and said, "A wedding gift from Bloodthirst and I to you. May it help you improve your learning at your new home and carry you far in life."
Harry and Daphne thanked their former teacher and they crashed at eleven, after making sure everything was packed and placed in their trunks. The alarm went off at six the next morning. They rolled out of bed, took their showers, and dressed in what they wanted to wear that day. Tossing their night clothes in their trunks, they shrunk them down and headed to breakfast, where they had a final meal with all their tutors.
