CH 3: The Rewrite Starts

Harry had met with Salazar before leaving and the man had been appalled at the final result of his heir's hatred of muggle-borns. He decided to appoint Harry as the true heir and agreed that the main governing force of Slytherin house should be the abilities he so prized and not blood status, the man himself never really had problems with 'blood', and never left the school; that was a rumor started by others. He charged his new heir, Harry, with the task of correcting this. He told him to set his house back on their true path and help prevent future mistakes made by these misguided ideologies. Harry figured what's one more responsibility and accepted his offer.

Harry prepared himself for the return to his ten year old battered self and made plans to start his job of correction. He had one of the Council cause some of the abuse he had suffered to be 'accidentally' caught on video and witnessed by some neighbors. This was for the first part of his plan, he needed to get away from the Dursley's home and find either a guardian or be emancipated, and the latter would have to wait at least 3 or 4 years. As for guardianship, he knew of an old law that would allow him to choose his own guardian regardless of newer laws that might prohibit it. All Harry would need is a way to make his knowledge believable and the proof that his guardians were unfit. He wished to do this in a way that would make the Dursleys indebted to him and not necessarily punish them, what he could require to keep them from prosecution could be punishment enough. He just had to wait for Hagrid to rescue him from the Dursley's hideout.

That day or night as it happened to be came none to soon. On the night of his eleventh birthday 12:02 AM to be exact, Hagrid came knocking on the door, well knocking down the door really. He argued with the Dursleys and told Harry about his wizard status. After that he took him to the Leaky Caldron, got them a room and spent the remaining time watching over Harry.

He showed him to Diagon Alley and told him more about the wizarding world in general. He carried Harry to Gringotts to get his money and retrieved the package for Dumbledore in the process. When he did Harry managed to switch the stone with a copy, unknown to Hagrid of course. This would allow him to get in good graces with Nicholas Flamel later on. Harry also managed to get the goblin Griphook to run a genealogy on him to see which inheritances he was entitled to receive. He also got him to charm Hagrid so he wouldn't remember about it when they left. Harry trusted the good natured man well enough, but knew he would sometimes slipup and say things he shouldn't. He also made arrangements so that no one but he and the goblins would have the information, invoking a 'Dragon' level contract with them. Included in this was changing the keys for any vaults he might have and securing Griphook's service as a financial advisor, replacing the one loyal to Dumbledore. Harry wouldn't have complete control of his inheritances, until emancipated or of age, but he had total faith in Griphook and told the goblin and his manager, Ragnarok, as much. This impressed the goblins very much since they were usually treated with disdain by wizards. Harry told them he didn't believe people should have to suffer from the prejudice that seemed to rule the world; this impressed them even more, especially from one so young. When the tests were made it was found Harry was heir to the four founders, Merlin, the Potters, the Evans, and an ancient line that was only known by the letters C. M.. The C. M. inheritance was the only one that could be taken before he came of age and the last known heir was Merlin himself. To say this caused a stir in the goblins at the bank would be on understatement. The heir-ship of this account entitled the heir with full adult status within the bank as well as the wizarding world; it was a thing unheard of in recent memory. It also required the goblins to pledge their allegiance to the Heir in all their endeavors. This was unexpected for Harry and he thought the Council had done it to make things easier, or perhaps it had always been this way. Harry requested Ragnarok to keep this quiet for the time being, he didn't need Dumbledore or Voldemort to get wind of it too soon. As hard as it was for Ragnarok to break tradition, he agreed it would cause problems for the young boy if word got out, and agreed to keep it quiet outside the bank, however he insisted Harry take possession of his vaults immediately stating "there may be things there to help forward your goals!" Harry conceded the point "I guess you could be right, just please don't give me any titles for the moment. I prefer to be Harry, if that's ok?" "Of course Harry and we will use Mr. Potter outside, in the main bank, just to keep things from drawing attention. May we proceed to your new vaults?" "Just lead the way Ragnarok, we will be right behind you." Hagrid spoke up at that time, "I always knew you would be great Harry, but who would 'a thunk it would have been like this, eh?" "I am kind of shocked myself, Hagrid." Most of the vaults contained money, books, family items, and such, the two that were more interesting at the moment were the Potter vault and the C. M. vault. In the Potter vault was his parent's original will along with an heir ring he should have been given at his recent birthday. The C. M. vault contained all the books for the training he received as well as a letter stating his title of Magi and all the implications there of and many things left by the other Magi for future ones of their race. Apparently, the founders had also left a vault in which Harry found their heir rings, many valuable manuscripts, weapons, armor, and books Deciding on taking the rings, will, and letter, the group left the vaults and returned to the bank. "I would like to make a copy of the will and letter and have the originals placed back in the Potter vault, also if you could compare this to the will you have on file, for discrepancies it would be appreciated." "That shouldn't be a problem, Mr. Potter. Albus Dumbledore brought the will of your parents to us when your parents died. This original was sent to the vault directly after it was written and what we have is one of the copies. We can owl you if there is any problem." "How long will it take, if it will be very long, I can check back during one of the breaks? I would rather most of our dealings be in person." "Of course, sir, it will not take more than a day to check Mr. Potter." "Then owl me when it is done and see if the head of MLE could be present when we go over it." "It shall be taken care of Mr. Potter, good day to you."

They continued to get Harry's school things, he also bought two books on old wizarding law, and a multi-compartment trunk with shrink, enlarge, and feather light charms, It had 12 compartments, 6 of which were living, dueling, hospital, library, a generic room, and a room of requirement: the others were for storage but could be accessed from the others. The trunk was heavily charmed for protection and privacy and had a necklace that would aloe the owner and others of his choice assess, kind of like a Portkey. It was keyed to the owners DNA and could only be used by him/her. While Hagrid got some other things, Harry went to get his wand. After all the fuss he ended up with the same one (brother to Voldemort's), this time however he asked Mr. Olivander a question, "Have you ever heard of a wizard being chosen by more than one wand?" Olivander almost keeled over in surprise, "it has never happened here, but the wand in the window has never been tried. That wand was given to me when the shop first opened. The man didn't allow me to pay him for it, he just made me swear to give it to its owner, as is, with the wand holder, no questions asked. As you have basically tried every other wand in the shop, would you like to try that one? The ministry doesn't allow me to sell two wands to anyone but aurors, but since I wouldn't really be selling it to you there wouldn't be any harm." Harry tried the wand out and the reaction was even better than with his first wand. "Never in all my years!" Olivander exclaimed. "Mr. Potter, I definitely think we can expect great things from you now! I can only tell you a little bit about the wand you hold as well as the holster. Both have anti-summoning charms and anti-disarming, the holster has invisibility and repair charms, also if you drop the wand it automatically returns to the holster. There are runes for strength, durability, and an unbreakable charm on the wand. As it was made so long ago it also doesn't have tracking charms on it nor can they be placed on it. It is made of a wood I can't identify and I don't know what the core is, but it is the strongest wand I have seen. I swear you and I will be the only ones that know of this as well, Mr. Potter. Also I want you to have a holster for the other wand, just for giving me the opportunity to witness this awe-inspiring event."

Hagrid had returned by this time with everyone's favorite owl, Hedwig. After which, they returned to the Leaky Cauldron. Harry learns Hagrid's version of what happened on that fateful Halloween night and so on. Here is where records become fuzzy. Harry was picked up on July31. Spent a day at Diagon Alley. Then Hagrid takes him to the station to catch the train, Sept 1. What happened between times? Most believe that Hagrid merely guided Harry around the Alley and kept him out of trouble. Hagrid however has a love of fine drink, which was in abundance at the Cauldron. This historian believes Hagrid was out of commission most of the time and therefore, Harry had this time to put some of his plans into action.
