Bring me to Life
Chapter 5
After having taken Harry up stairs and dressing him appropriately, we met Sherlock by the floo. I smirked inwardly knowing this would be just as discomforting as apparation. "Alright Sherlock. What we did to get here...that form of transportation is known as apparation. What we will do now is both similar and very different, called floo tavel.. Meaning we will use the fireplace to travel. It will be similarly unpleasant and frightening to apparation. You will stand close to me and do your best to stay still." Sherlock agreed, groaning outwardly at the mention of that unpleasant stomach churning experience. Severus stepped into the fire place with Harry, Sherlock attaching to his side. Picking up a fist full of floo powder severus shouted, "Malfoy Manor." With that they were whipped away and spit out at another fire place.
Harry giggled, "Again! Again!" Sherlock looked to the boy as though he had another head, "Again? You must be on something child." Severus laughed, "Harry is fond of floo travel. He sees it like a ride. He however has your same distaste for appartaion."
They were interupted by a small clear of the throat, "I do believe, Severus, that I have not heard you laugh like that in many years. Who may I ask, it your friend." Severus came to full attention, "Hello Lucius. I admit it has been a while. Please do not be alarmed. This is Sherlock. I know you dislike for his kind but I need your help and I am in a situation with him at the moment."
Lucius rose a brow, "What in heavens are you talking about. I have nothing against his kind." Severus furrowed his brows, "Since when are you okay with muggles Lucius." The man in question chuckled deeply, "Awe. That is where this confusion lies. You are right, I have a unique dislike for muggles, and if your friend here was a muggle, it may take me a moment to be accepting of your situation. But a muggle is not what he is. Whether he is aware or not he is in fact a Seer Fae. Not completely, but I would get it is in his genetics. How else would he get access to our world Severus."
Sherlocks eyes widened, shocked enough to rudely interupt, "Hold the hell up! You're trying to tell me that I am not only a seer, but a fairy as well?! I think its time for more explanations."
Severus put his face in his hands sighing, "Sherlock, calm down. Lucius has a gift for reading the aura's off of people...especially creatures as he himself is part veela. In the wizarding world it is not uncommon to have creature abilities. All this means is you are allowed to be in our world. Think about it. You have never fit in with the muggles. Always been smarter. Somehow knew things that others didn't. Knew things would happen before they happened. How is your eye sight? Sense of Smell? Sense of hearing?"
Severus turned from Sherlock to give him a moment to process what he had just learned, "Lucius, we came here today for a purpose, and now we have two. I need your help and influence to create a new identitiy for Harry and I. We need to dissappear out of Dumbledores meddling thumbs. Give Harry the childhood we deserve. We were going to go to Gringotts to do that and get your help with paper work, but now I think that we also need to get Sherlock an account set up in this world along with a blood test to see what his bloodline comes from. Will you take him to do that, while Harry and I do what we need to do?"
Lucius agreed quickly, "Yes I figured that would be your first move. I will get the files altered for you and will take Mr. Holmes to take care of his affairs. Would you like him under mine or your account manager?" Severus responded swiftly, "Mine. I need to be able to help his with his accounts easily. He is staying with me for the time being."
With that the four of them apparated to Gringotts bank. Walking through Lucius held his head high, ever the proud and wealthy aristocrat. Stopping in front of a desk, "Hello Helsward. We have seperate affairs to take care of, and would prefer to have them done swiftly." Helsward ever the cold and frightening goblin glared at his customers, "Very well, Griphook will attend to your affairs Severus, while Bloodscorn will attend to you Lucius. They will lead you to private rooms with privacy and silencing wards." And then they were lead to seperate rooms.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
As Severus and Harry reached the room with Griphook, Harry started getting fussy. "Down Sebseb! Down." Griphook gave the child a rare smile, "He can play in here. The room is safe for children." Severus set Harry down, greatful for the reflief of weight from his arm. Griphook nodded, "Now have a seat. What can I do for you today?"
Severus took a deep breath, "Harry and I need to disappear. We need to see about creating completely different persons for ourselves. We need to see about getting the correct blood work done so as to hide our magical signatures. Further than that we would like to access Harry's accounts to see what he has inheritted from his loss along with his titles. We also need to get Harry blood adopted so as to make sure that Albus can not take any magical guardianship of him.
Griphook nodded, "This will be simple on all accounts. Now while the blood rituals do not hurt they are not going to be particularly comfortable for the child. We will start with view Harry's accounts as that will be the simplest task. I will cast a spell that will take a drop of blood from Harry's finger without hurting him." Severus tilted his head in acknowledgment.
The process was quick as the blood was dropped onto a bit of parchment and Harry's Files appeared. They read as follows

Will of Lily and James Potter
This is the official Will of James Potter and Lily Potter.
Our Dearest Friends..Our Dearest Harry. If you are reading this, then we didn't make it. We hope that you who ever is watching over Harry will protect him the same as we have. With our lives. He is our everything.
On a lighter note.
To Severus Snape from James Potter. I leave an apology for how cruel I was to you once and thank you for being so good with Harry. Merlin Knows he adores you. To you we leave the cleared building with in Diagon Ally and all of the equipment needed to start the apothocary you and Lily always discussed with the only request that you still name it 'Roses from Lemons.'
To Sirius Black I leave my (James) diary. You will find all of our fun and adventures recalled with in. I request you share this with Remus.
To Remus Lupin I leave you the Potter Library, and name you secret keeper. Sorry Sirius, you will likely never see Remus again.
At our passing, Harry will be left to one of the godparents written above. Under no cercumstances should he be left with Albus Dumbledore. He is not to be trusted. Under no cercumstances is he to be left with My Sister and her husband-Petunia and Vernon Dursley. Should all written guardians be unavailable he will be placed in the 'In magica tutela Liberi' foster care to be adopted-heaven forbid all four godparents are incapable of caring for him.
We love you Harry. To you we leave everything. What ever you do with your life, we support you baby boy. Be happy. Live your life to the fullest. Find your way.
You will find information on your creature inheritances in the library of the Potter Summer home.
P.S. What ever house you land in, Make sure you shine. Love Dad
Have fun my love, but don't slack in your studies. I wish we could be with you now. Love Mom.
End of Document
Severus cleared his throat, wiping a few stray tears from his eyes. Griphook stayed silent for a moment before getting back into business, "I am truly sorry for your loss. The Potters were valued customers. Now if you two wish to disappear the best way will be to create a 'dopleganger' account. We will open new accounts for both you and Harry under new names, and will transfer all of your belongings to them, however we will leave your original accounts open. By doing this we will also create a fake copy of the account information should anyone try to slip past our security and look into the old accounts. They however will not be able to access anything that you don't want them to. The blood spell is simple enough. You and Harry will stand under the red souls fall, hidden with in this bank. That combined with my goblin magic will alter you blood signature and change your appearance allowing us to create new identities for you both with out loosing your original inheritances. As for the blood adoption that will be a simple matter of yours and Harrys blood signed to a piece of parchement which will be sent to the ministry and filed for legality. Does this all make sense?"
Severus gave a small nod, "It does. Thank you griphook."
The Blood adoption was done swiftly without problems. It was the Blood spell that was a little stranger. Severus now stood with Harry, bare of all but there under wear standing under a red drip of water with in a lower level of the bank. Harry was giggling about swimming in the strawberry water. All the while Griphook incanted his spell, 'Alter ad alterum sanguinem esse. Mutata in sanguinem, et relinquam illam eundem. Quod sit novum creare ex antiquis." As the spell came to an end the two under the water fall felt there bodies altered. Walking out of the water they were greeted with a mirror.
Severus now Andriel Drake, Stood 5'6 with long flowing brown hair. His eyes lightened from an ebony to be closer to a golden brown. His body was more muscular, his features more defined. Yes. He could work with this. He then glanced over to Harry-now Dalair Drake, very glad the little boys eyes remained the same brilliant green. That was all that stayed the same however. The boy now had similar long brown hair to Andriel, the features changed to match just the same. Accepting that there new persons would work well, Andriel's mind wandered, wondering how things were going with Lucius and Sherlock.
