Waking up he made no noises just content to look around for a while. The room he was in was painted white in colour and the bed he was in was way too big for him but boy was it comfortable. He managed to wriggle his little legs and move the duvet of him before rolling out of bed. He fell on the carpet and began to cry as he'd hit his arm hardly. James came rushing in admonishing the child slightly before he healed his arm and placed him back on the bed. He quickly dressed the now happy tot in some clothes which he'd transfigured for him. He wondered what the child liked to eat and so he gave him some cereal. The boy was one and a quarter by now and was quite happy to say what he wanted. He could talk but only say a few sentences.
"Daddy where mummy?" he asked as James froze rooted to the spot. He was going as James now as they were in his London home. He had gone home to his Diagon Alley home but realised that his London home was more suitable so he was now staying there for a while. "Well Harry the bad man Voldermort came and brought her to heaven so she's gone to the sky. She didn't want to go the sky but he made her go. He is a bad man. He tried to take you to the sky and she stopped him before he took her to the sky. She was very brave and saved you!" he said as Harry smiled.
"Thank you mummy. I love ooh!" he said as he hugged James tightly. James had decided that as he knew nothing about raising children he'd need to hire a nanny of the half-blood style. He'd interview them carefully using the smallest amount of veritas serum he could. He sent out an immediate advertisement for people to come by his house from two o clock onwards that day to be interviewed. He got a response to say only one person was free then and interested so he arranged for her to come by at one thirty instead of two. He decided on a trip to muggle London to buy the essentials for his new child. He would be doing so in the magical world as well as he knew he couldn't use all of the products from the muggle world in the magical world as some of them were different.
He went to Mothercare buying a dark wood sleight cot bed. Whilst there he purchased a stroller, some clothes, a changing unit, a wardrobe and some bottles and dummies as well as some feeding and sterilising things. He put them in his home magically as soon as he'd bought them. Next he went to the cash and carry to get enough baby nappies and things to last him for two years. He'd paid over three thousand pounds for all the stuff but as money wasn't a worry for him he didn't need to care about how much he was spending. Going into the Wizarding world with Harry now in his new clothes and stroller he bought all the stuff he'd need before returning home to meet Lady Arianna Ravenswood. She was a young single woman who was independently well off but still looking for the kind of employment which would allow her to do what she desired in her free time as well. She approached his house ringing the bell and entered as soon as he'd answered the door.
"Lady Ravenswood come in please and have a seat. Now in order for you to get the job with me I have a strict policy. I always pay handsomely but if you are to get the job you need to take one drop of veritas serum and answer two questions for me. Should you get the answers right I will need an unbreakable vow from you. The child you need to care for is a unique child and has only been my ward since yesterday due to extenuating circumstances. Do I have your permission to administer the serum?" he asked to which she reeled back in shock. She'd not expected this at all. She had no idea what he'd ask but decided to go with it as it could only get better for her after it after all.
"You may proceed!" she said as he administered the one drop accurately.
"Ok Lady Ravenswood please tell me your views about Dumbledore and Voldermort like which one do you support?"
"I don't support either of them. I mean Voldermort is pure evil and he is beyond redeeming but Albus is too secretive about everything he ever does which leads me to believe he has a lot to hide. I don't know why and I can't explain it but he has never given me personally a reason to trust him and so I don't."
"If I ask you to give me an unbreakable vow and then watch a horrible memory of mine which then explains the vow will you be ok to do it?"
"I find it strange that you feel like you need to even ask. I will of course!" she said seriously as the serum wore off.
"You're answers were good and the right kind of answers to give me. Now I need you to give me an unbreakable vow that you will never repeat to anyone what I tell you next as it is vital to this child that no one knows" he said as she smiled at him giving him the vow.
"Now here he is my son for all intents and purposes. You know me as Lord Christian James Grey but in the muggle world where I work for MI5 I am known as James Christian Bond. Whilst he is here with us in the muggle world he is to be known as Thomas Lawrence Bond. His real name and the one he shall be using in the magical world is Harry James Potter Grey. Yes you did hear me correctly this here is Harry James Potter and he did save us from Voldermort. He is now my son and now I need you to view the next memory here for me which explains how he came to be my son!" he said as she went into the pensive.
She emerged half an hour later crying. "Oh my boy I'm so very sorry this happened to you both. I will of course be delighted to care for and look after you both equally. I request two weekends off a month and that is all. Will I live here with you or come from my own home every day?" she asked as he reeled back in shock now himself.
"To be honest Arianna I am delighted you accept us. You may live with us in my spare room. Now I just need help raising and feeding him and so on as I have no experience in this and I know you don't either but I figured we could help each other learning as we go. I trust you implicitly with this vow and so you will be paid five thousand galleons a month for your services. Harry here will know love and honour and he will also know about secret service muggle gadgets as you'll come to know I use many of them in my house. The palm scanner I have will admit only those I say it can into the various hidden rooms in this house. This house is three storeys. On the top floor are all of our bedrooms as well four offices for myself, James, Harry and Thomas to separate the gadgets from the magic and so on. Down on the first floor we have the living room, bathroom, kitchen dining room and hidden corridor. This corridor contains secret MI5 rooms but one which you will be allowed access is the Gym Room and the Pool Room. Downstairs we have a library which you may access and the other rooms are top secret MI5 rooms. Now have you any questions for me?" he asked her as she watched him in awe whilst smiling at Harry who was playing with a train set on the floor happily giggling.
"May I please know why he looks so like you?" she asked as he giggled himself.
"You know I'd forgotten that. Last night as you saw from my memories I had the Dursleys Harry's relatives sign him over to me legally and magically and then you will notice before I took them and their son to Ohio I signed them myself before sending them off magically. Well I used a blood quill as did they only they didn't know it was a blood quill as I had it designed to resemble a muggle pen. Quite ingenious actually. By mingling our bloods on the one set of forms I blood adopted Harry. It was only as you saw that after he was cured his appearance changed. I was confused when the bank said he'd been cursed by Dumbledore as you saw in my memories that Hagrid handed Harry to him after which he placed him in the basket on their doorstep and then left with the others. It is my guess that he got to Godrics Hollow before Hagrid did to place the spells on him and then very carefully instructed Hagrid to get the boy quickly before Sirius Black could. I mean he knew it'd look very suspicious indeed if he was seen with the child so he needed to act and fast too!" he responded.
"Yes that sounds about right. It would certainly explain why you never saw him place the spells there even though they were there in the end. How may I ask did you get the Dursleys and their son or should I say the Daikon's over to Columbus Ohio so quickly without being caught for it? This type of thing usually takes ages to prepare what with finding them a career and a home and so on" she asked him as he smiled. It had been a logical question and one which showed that she had a lot of sense in her head. It was people who thought like this about everything which made him tick. He just loved spending time with people as logical and sensible as he was.
"I had been preparing to take the alias of Daikon when I went on a mission there in a few weeks. It was to be an undercover operation and so I was to have a home, a job and indeed a car as well as the corresponding accounts. I even had a magical portkey designed to take me there which I got from the Ministry as they know what I do and give them to me now all the time without question. I already had everything set up and I know I had it set up for me but what would someone else taking my place do if not solve an immediate problem I had right there which needed to be fixed immediately if not sooner. I know it personally throws a spanner in the works for me at work but I do have a month until I need to go on that mission so I can just rearrange things in the month that remains. Yes it will be tight but I can do it. For my mission I will be gone for about a year but will floo in all the time to see Harry or Thomas here whenever I can which will be about once a day for a few hours. Now don't forget he's Thomas here and Harry there ok" he said as she smiled at him.
"Indeed Mr Bond I won't. Thank you for this opportunity and I will see you later. Right now I'm going to set my affairs in order and I will be by during the week to move in my things!" she said as she kissed Harry's cheek and left.
By now the train set was flying around the room as Harry clapped. My goodness he was a powerful little one wasn't he. He had already decided to use this advantage teaching Harry all about wandless magic. He would teach him everything up until his last year of school so he would know everything wandlessly before going even going to school. It would give him a serious edge and as he couldn't be traced this way he could also work in the special sector of MI5 for talented youths. He'd know so much that he'd be a lethal weapon by the time he got to school. Now however for the next few years he was content to just let him be a child and get messy if he wanted to, throw tantrums if he wanted to and generally just be a child. They'd be going to theme parks and doing all manner of cool stuff. James could easily separate himself from his work and just enjoy being a dad. It was after all very new and exciting. As they finished their dinner in McDonald's of all places which made James really laugh he took Harry home and put him to bed in his new bed. Harry fell asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow as did James'.
