Voldemort stood just outside the wards of Number 4 Privet Drive. He had his most loyal Death Eaters with him who consisted of Lucius Malfoy, Severus Snape, Bellatrix LeStrange, her husband and brother-in-law, Avery, Nott, McNair, Crabbe, and Goyle. The Order of Phoenix were there too. In less than 5 minutes the wards would be no more as Harry Potter turned 17. There was no fighting as of yet. Dumbledore just kept rambling nonsense at him and telling his birds not to attack unless engaged. No one, however, expected what happened next.
There was a sudden influx of magic after a piercing scream from inside the house. Even Voldemort felt his skin shiver unpleasantly at that scream. Something thumped down some stairs and crashed through the front door to lay in a broken heap on the lawn. It was a naked fat man who was now dead. That unfortunately was not the most disturbing sight. A thin naked boy who looked no older than 14, leaned heavily against the doorway. His entire body was cover in bruises, cuts, burns, and blood. The boy trembled, but made his way outside. His head snapped up at the sight of the Order. Piercing green eyes could be seen. Merlin's beard! It was Harry Potter!
Harry turned and looked back at the place that had caused him nothing but misery and pain. He felt rage like nothing before build inside him until something seemed to snap. Power began pouring into him and with it he raised his hand and set the house on fire with fiendfyre. A dragon made of flames engulfed the house and quickly rendered it to ashes. The dragon came back to him, butted its' head against Harry's, and disappeared. Harry slowly turned around and caught sight of the manipulative old bastard that put him in this God forsaken place. Another wave of his hand and the old fool went flying to land with a sickening crack against a tree.
" If you value your lives you will take that old fuck and leave.", Harry said in such a dead cold tone to the Order, that they obeyed immediately. Harry made sure they were gone before reaching for the wards and demolishing them. Harry then proceeded to walk towards where Voldemort was. Voldemort unconsciously stepped back along with his Death Eaters. The boy paid them no mind and just walked past them. Voldemort, intrigued, followed with his minions wondering what would happen next.
Harry walked to the end of the street before Voldemort finally spoke. " Where are you going?", he asked the question that they all wanted answered. " Gringotts. Goblin healers are the best.", Harry replied shortly. Before Voldemort could respond to that, his wand flew out of his hand to Harry's, where he then summoned the Knight Bus with it. He then tossed it back to him. The bus arrived with a loud BANG. Before Stan Shunpike could open his mouth Harry had summoned some galleons from the nearest Death Eater and shoved it at Stan.
" Do not speak to me or my companions. We are going to the Leaky Cauldron.", Harry said coldly. He then stepped onto the bus, but turned once he felt he wasn't being followed. " Are you coming or not?", Harry sneered before getting into the bus fully. Voldemort quickly followed as did everyone else. Once they were seated in the back the bus took off, but for once they didn't feel it.
" Now you can not go looking like that.", Harry told Voldemort before surprising the Dark Lord once again by touching his face. He felt magic enter into him and something familiar return to him. Harry removed his hand, nodded his approval, then asked for Severus. Severus complied immediately and Harry touched him as well. Voldemort could see Severus' nose straighten and his skin become healthy instead of sallow looking. All in all he now looked to be barely 30. Voldemort conjured a mirror and saw a 30 year old Tom Riddle looking back at him. Harry did the same thing for Bella, Rabastian, and Rodolphus. They too looked younger, healthier, and completely different.
Harry conjured a blood crimson robe, before getting off the bus with his companions in tow. Tom the bartender waved at him as he entered. " Good to see yah Harry even if it is a bit late. Who's your friends?", he asked. Harry pointed to Voldemort. " This is Thomas Marvolo Gaunt and his entourage who are here for his protection. Important business at Gringotts and all that.", Harry lied easily. Tom just nodded in acceptance as they went through.
" Well played Potter. Since when have you been such a convincing liar?", Voldemort asked as Harry tapped the bricks with his finger. " Since I started Hogwarts. After all no one had a clue what my home life was really like now did they? I am a snake in lion's clothing after all.", Harry said curtly, before moving as quickly as he dared to Gringotts. Harry was in luck when he got there as Griphook was on duty. Harry went up to him and bowed.
" Greetings Griphook. I hope you have been well and that your wealth has increased.", Harry said. The goblin looked shocked for a split second before returning the bow. " Greetings Mr. Potter. I hope your wealth has increased and that you are well.", Griphook said. " Unfortunately the last part of that hope is not so. I am afraid I require substantial healing. Also my friend here needs to set up his new identity. It is not everyday a once thought dead line resurfaces. I believe another needs to claim his rightful Lordship as well.", Harry explained and looked Severus in the eye as he said that last part. Griphook's eyes widened at the possibility of old vaults being active once more. " Of course. We shall see to it at once. Will you be doing a heritage test as well to claim all your rightful Lordships?", Griphook asked as he led them to a private room. " Absolutely.", Harry said.
Voldemort was in a state of shock. Who would have thought that Harry Potter would find a way for Voldemort, now Lord Thomas Marvolo Gaunt Slytherin, to rejoin wizard society. With his new status he could make changes legally. Then there was Severus who was now Lord Severus Tobias Prince Ravenclaw. Between Severus and himself they owned half of Hogwarts and the surrounding land. This changed everything. He talked with his Death Eaters as he waited for Harry to come back.
Meanwhile, Harry had just got done with a high level healing ritual. All his scars were gone, his vision repaired, and his injuries healed. He now stood over six feet and had long crimson hair. His eyes were still emerald, but now held silver and purple tones. His body was now no longer malnourished, but healthy and ripped with lean muscles. He took his heritage test and found he was heir to Potter, Black (as stated in the will that he hadn't even known Sirius had), Peverell, Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Pendragon, and Emrys. He claimed all his Lordships and now was the richest wizard in the world.
A rather lovely looking young man came out with Griphook a couple of hours later. " As always it has been a pleasure doing business with you Lord Potter, Black, Peverell, Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Pendragon, Emrys.", Griphook bowed. Harry bowed back and turned to look at a shocked audience. " I know right? It's amazing what a little healing can do. Now I am starving and I am treating everyone to WHIP.", (Wizard's House of International Pancakes ;)-
They walk over to WHIP which is located just down a bit from Gringotts. Harry asks for the private section and soon they are all seated at a large round table. They place their orders and within minutes piping hot food appears in front of them. Harry plows through the sirloin tips, eggs, stuffed french toast, hashbrowns, and fruit. He waited until everyone was finished before putting up his own privacy spell. No one noticed that he now had a wand.
" First things first. Bella, Rabastian, and Rodolphus. You're not recognizable anymore, so you should all do an inheritance test to see if there is another name you can go by. Guys I'm pretty sure you're descendents of LeFae, whereas Bella along with most Blacks are from Dracul's line. These names still come with seats in the Wizengamot and are currently empty. Now the prophecy isn't an issue as I am no longer marked as Thomas' equal. The reason I am helping you is because things do need to change and I know Thomas had good ideals before he made the stupid horcruxes that Dumbledore made him create. You see when Albus-too-many-fucking-names-Dumbledick first met Thomas, he knew that he would become stronger, better and more powerful than he was. So he decided to meddle with Thomas' mind when he was still young and yes I do have proof that will come to light once Thomas decides the time is right. I came to know this before the end of last year when the old bastard left me alone in his office. I took his memories after duplicating them and watched them in the Room of Requirement. Speaking of which, I removed the Diadem. Here.", Harry said as he pulled a ring off his finger and enlarged it. Ravenclaw's Diadem.
Harry placed one hand on the diadem and touched Thomas with the other. He returned the soul piece and reshrunk the diadem before giving it to Severus. " You already took back the piece from the Gaunt ring. Now you just need the one from Hufflepuff's cup and Slytherin's locket which I imagine is in your vault. I'll be needing the cup back by the way.", Harry said. Thomas just nodded. " Just don't remove the one from Nagini unless I'm there. I am sorry about the diary, but I think there is a way to get that piece back. I just have to comune with Death.", Harry added nonchalantly. Everyone looked at him like he was crazy. " Anyway back on topic. Dumblefuck will get his so don't worry. Also as Thomas, Severus, and I now own the school there will definitely be some changes. Muggle Studies needs to be updated. Thomas can take over DADA. Severus you do a great job, the only suggestion I would make would be to have a safety class first and foremost. You know, stuff like why the cauldron should be clean, why you need to cut certain ingredients a certain way. Stuff like that. We need a competent History of Magic teacher and need to have a Wizarding Cultures class for muggleborns. If they know more about our culture starting at an early age then they can adjust easier. We need fresh blood so we don't die out and muggleborns are not really that at all. My mother was actually a halfblood, as I suspect all muggleborns are.", Harry said. He looked at the time.
" I have some shoping I need to do. Stupid idiots burned most of my things. If you tell me where to meet you I can catch up with you all later, or we can just meet another time.", Harry told Thomas. " If you are willing I would like for you to come with us. You can stay as long as you want.", Thomas said. " Alright. Well then I'm off. If some of you want to come with me you can otherwise we can meet up later.", Harry said. Severus and Lucius followed Harry while Thomas went with Bella and the boys back to Gringotts.
Harry went to Burgess Outfitters for his clothes. He got 5 dress robes done in blue, silver, green, black, and crimson in the finest acromentia silk they had. He also got 5 plain black robes for school but made of the finest quality and paid extra for spell protection to be applied to the fabric of all his clothes. He got 5 pairs of black slacks, and some in other colors, 10 dress shirts in various colors, 10 t-shirts of different styles, 14 pairs of silk boxer briefs and socks, dragon skin and basalisk skin boots, combat boots, dress shoes and regular shoes, 2 winter cloaks, a black leather jacket, and a dark brown leather duster. He paid, shrunk everything down, and left for Tanner's Trunks, Storage, and Bags.
He immediately grabbed a dark brown leather book bag and started going over the trunks. He found a 7 compartment trunk done in black snakeskin with silver hardware. Next he went and got parchment and quills along with some very nice fountain pens they had. He went to Flourish and Blotts and bought all the books for years 1-7 including Ancient Runes, Arithmacy, and Care of Magical Creatures. He also bought a lot of other books that caught his interest and put them all in the library section of his trunk.
Next stop he went and got a few new cauldrons, crystal stir sets, knives for potions, and vials along with ingredients. Severus helped out a lot here. Somewhere along the way Harry got a proper wand holster. Harry got himself a new Quantum Firebolt along with everything needed to take care of it. He then branched out into muggle London, where he went to an office supply shop and got notebooks, pens, pencils, art supplies, sticky notes, and a day planner. He also got more clothes. They met back up with Thomas and crew at 3 that afternoon where they then portkeyed to Slytherin Manor.
AN: Just an idea I had for a story. Anyone who wants to try and write it be my guest just keep WHIP and the theme ;)
