I do not own Harry Potter, JK Rowling does and anyone she has sold the rights to. I am not any of those. I just write because I love the Potterverse. This is an AU story and many characters will be OC.

Chapter 10

Harry was working in the clockwork space in the Dursley home one afternoon just after his 10th birthday; he was determined to create something new, he had considered a new form of magical transport, but he was too young to actually cast the magic needed to do that, but using runes; family runes he figured he might be able to do something.

He had drawings of magical bicycles, roller-skates; both old style and in-line, skateboards but he was still working on what to do, Hermione entered the room and walked over and looked at what Harry was working on, "Harry? Just what are you working on?" Hermione was smiling; she loved the way that Harry's mind seemed to work. He was always working on something; he had helped modify basic electronics to work in a magic heavy area. He had utilized an existing runic array but modified it so that it not only shielded the electronics but allowed them to actually be powered by ambient magic.

Harry looked at Hermione, the girl who other than Neville was the best friend he had, he was close to all of the others but with Hermione he was with a person who had a mind that could keep up with him, no not just keep up but sometimes run ahead of his at times. "I want to try and create a new kind of magical form of travel." Harry showed her the drawings, "I could always use a runic-array to make a safer bicycle, plus make it able to fly, but that has been done." Harry showed her the flying bicycle that had been created after the ET movie had come out. Next he showed her a design for a flying skateboard,but it was also similar to the ones created after Back to the Future had come out.

"I can't actually do a flying car, seeing that I can't drive if I did," laughing, "besides those already exist in the States, plus Dad already did it."

Hermione laughed, "Harry, what about working on a smaller version of an airship?" Hermione had seen the magical airships when the families had spent time last summer while on vacation in the States. "You know a smaller version, say like a mundane RV?"

Harry looked at her and laughed, "Why didn't it consider that," he was out of the chair and was hugging her and twirling her in the air. "Mione, you're a genius."

Hermione laughed as she was held and spun in the air all the time looking at the boy she was slowly falling in love with, but the two of them were too young for that, at least for now. "Harry … Harry, stop I need to breathe."

Harry stopped and sitting her on her feet all the time still holding her, "You know if we do that, it will require everyone's help." Harry was already thinking on how they would do it.

Hermione giggled, "Yes I realize that, we'd need everyone's help, considering we all have different skills that would make it easier, plus we just might have it designed or at least started on the design before we start Hogwarts."

Harry laughed, "Yeah can you imagine it, we take the basic design and the special clockwork trunks and wardrobe's and use them or just use the Room of Requirement to do the really heavy duty work for parts of it."

Hermione laughed, "Yes, this way we can make it a multi-year project, that way we can use it for our NEWTS."

Harry contacted the others to come to the shared place that connected all of the friend's homes and began to work out the designs as well as just to have fun being together. They all figured that the soonest they would be able to finish the RV Airship would be OWLS year.

The adults over the years had worked hard to make sure that the Horcruxes were found and destroyed before Harry and the others started Hogwarts. When the manikin Harry had been sent to Gringotts the Horcrux had been removed without damaging the manikin. The when Lord Black had ended the marriage between Bella and the Lestrange brothers, they had gotten the Cup of Hufflepuff. Then they found the Locket of Slytherin at #12, Sirius's parents home in London, it was the old house-elf; Kreacher that had it and had tried to destroy it after Regulus had died to take from Voldemort. Then after doing some research and hiring a team of Gringotts curse-breakers they found the Ring of Slytherin in the old home of Voldemort's mother. Cissy Prince knew that Voldemort had given to Lucius a diary that she knew was from Voldemort, so they figured that might be another one. Plus they also figured that one was hidden at Hogwarts.

The ones that they had found had been pulled from the objects and placed into one object. The Goblins and the adults worked together to find a way to keep the nearly complete soul of Tom Riddle aka Voldemort from escaping and finding a way to rejoin with the wraith-like being that Voldemort was now. Soon they would have the one hidden at Hogwarts and eventually they figured that Lucius Malfoy would either use the diary or find someone to sacrifice to bring Voldemort back.

A/N: short chapter, having a bit of writers block, this was all I could figure out at this time. I do expect to do at least one maybe two chapters and then have them heading off to Hogwarts.

As for taking down Dumbledore, that will take longer. He is after all the Headmaster of Hogwarts, Chief Warlock and Supreme Mugwump. It will take time to take the hidden Dark Lord down.
