The next few days were bliss for Eros. He got to experience a lot of the things he had only heard about. It was while he was having breakfast, his both his parents were out that he received a couple of visitors. It was an old man with a long white hair and beard dressed like a wizard. His companion was a greasy haired man who looked like a miserable person if the sneer on his face was anything to go by.

The old man smiled at Eros as if they were old friends and said "Harry my boy, I have been looking for you for a very long time. Your aunt and uncle miss you."

Eros picked a knife and began to butter his toast and dip it in his egg. After he took a bite he said "Who are you?"

Still smiling the old man said "I am Albus Dumbledore, headmaster of Hogwarts, chief warl..."

Eros cut him off "I didn't ask for your resume. What are you doing here besides breaking and entering of course?"

The greasy haired man answered instead "You are as spoilt as I thought you were Potter,"

He turned to his companion and said "Albus why are you indulging the brat, just stun him and lets go before the muggles return. I have no wish to make this any longer than it needs to."

Eros merely glanced at the greasy haired man and said "My name is not Potter. Whoever this person you are looking for is not here. I would suggest you leave the way you came before my parents get back."

Instead of listening the old man took out a stick from the ghastly robes he was wearing and was about to point it at Eros when the door behind the two wizards opened and Thanatos walked in dressed in blue ripped jeans and a black t shirt depicting a band Eros liked to listen to. He walked past the two men stood by Eros and said "Do you make a habit of just breaking and entering into other people's homes?"

The greasy haired man'sneer deepened as he spoke "we do what we like muggle, what can you do about it? And we are here for Potter."

Thanatos replied "My son stays here with me. Get out of my house."

The old man sighed and said "I was hoping we could do this peacefully but alas it is not meant to be. He lifted the wand in his hand and pointed it at Thanatos. A red beam of light shot out of it towards Thanatos and fizzled out halfway to him. The old man'eyes widened and tried again only this time the greasy haired man joined him. They kept this up until it was obvious nothing was going to happen. The old man was the first to speak"I don't understand!"

Thanatos didn't bother to explain,instead his scythe appeared in his hand and his persona changed to that of death and watched the two men fall to their knees in fear. He swipped his scyth and ripped the old man from his body and said"My son stays with me. Am I clear?" Death sighed as the soul in his hand passed out and a stench filled the room. The greasy haired man had a puddle underneath him and he looked like he was on the verge of passing out as well.

Waving a hand and using magic to clear the air Eros said "I think you overdid it dad. Thanatos waved him off and said "They threatened you, there is no such thing as overdoing it."

He shook the soul awake and said when he opened his eyes"you are now marked by death old man. You are the one responsible for my son's unhappy childhood Now I won't tell you again get out and don't come back . If I see you even saying my son's name I will teach you why some things are worse than me. Now are we both on the same page?"

The old man's soul shook it's head to say he understood. Thanatos threw the soul back in its body eliciting an anguished cry of pain as the soul rejoined the body. Thanatos slowly moved forward to the old man and said "Just so we are clear, my son is no longer part of your world. he crossed over. You have no claim on him."

He grabbed the greasy man by the scruff of his neck and said "...and you, I see your hatred of my son and your plans to make his life difficult..."

A voice behind him cut him off "...I think a more fitting punishment will be to have him go through what he was gong to put Eros through if he was in his power. I have just returned from those vile things that dared to call themselves my son's kin. I turned them into house elves and gave them to a pure blood family called the Malfoys. They are cruel and vindictive wizards they will do me proud with the Dursleys punishment before they get their own."

As he spoke Chaos channelled his power and turned the greasy haired man named Severus Snape into a house elf. Albus Dumbledore could only watch on in horror. When he found out Harry was alive at the beginning of that week he sent Fawkes his forcefully bound familiar to track and find him. he already had rituals ready to bind the boy to his will as well as a marriage contract with a girl from a light pure blood family. He failed to gain access to the boy's money hence the marriage contract. It looked like his parents anticipated that people would try to take advantage of him and had their vaults blood locked, the only way to open them would be Harry doing it himself. There were spells to ensure that he knew what was inside and that he was not being coerced into opening his vault and taking out his inheritance.

Thanatos noticed the wand in the old man's hand and summoned it to his hand. It was the death stick and to Dumbledore's continued horror he snapped it in half and said "I really need to stop leaving my things lying around."

Chaos forcibly threw them out of the building before raising wards to keep all wizards out. As soon as they were gone Thanatos said "I cannot believe you forgot to put up wards. What if they had hurt Eros?"

Chaos replied "The wards were there I just never thought we would need to use them. Most beings with power know your essence they would not tread on your territory. Those two just blindly apparated here. They did not even notice that you are not human."

Thanatos was furious. He whirled on Chaos but before he could say anything Eros spoke "I'm not completely defenceless you know. You forget those wizards don't even have a fraction of my power. You worry too much."

Thanatos hugged Eros and said "Of course I worry, you are my son."

Chaos stood off to the side and said "I'm sorry, I was careless and the wizards got close to him."

Knowing that staying angry would solve nothing Thanatos nodded and said "Just be careful in the future."

Albus Dumbledore made his way to his office with an angrily squeaking house elf beside him. He was ignoring the house elf trying to think of how the boy he had had under his control become the ward of someone that powerful. Even thinking about the being the boy called daddy sent stabs of fear through him. How was he going to win the war now? The boy was completely out of his reach. well almost completely. He sped up to his office as an idea formed in his mind, the Snape house elf at his heel. He opened a hidden compartment in his office and took out an hour glass the size of a fist.

A smile lit up his face as he went to the pensive bowl in the main office he used to look at memories. He took out all the memories in it and placed a single memory of the last time he saw the boy. He was almost three lying in his cupboard covered in blood, bruises, cuts and body waste. It was a sorry sight. The hour glass was a stolen relic from his last visit to the department of mysteries. It was the only one of its kind. The young man who was showing him around was more than happy to explain how it worked to the great Dumbledore. He was happy he knew something his idol didn't. Dumbledore erased his the man's memory of the visit afterwards and placed a fake memory of being shown something else irrelevant. It was a small memory replacement that even an expert would not notice unless they were particularly looking for it.

The hourglass required a sacrifice for it to work. It was one of the reasons it was in the department of mysteries they were trying to figure out how to use it without it. Dumbledore turned to the newly made house elf who was now irritating him. He grabbed it and shoved its head inside the pensive. The hour glass began to shimmer as it sucked out the elf's soul. Dumbledore smiled as his surroundings began to change. days and nights went by backwards. This went on for an hour before it suddenly stopped.

He looked around his office and noticed the subtle changes. Some of the gadgets he got rid of were there in the room. His bowl of lemon drops were gone replaced by lemon bon bons. He smiled as he picked one up and popped it in his mouth. He checked the gadget that were connected to the boy. They were working. He knew he would need to be careful about what he now knew about the future. He did not want to change too much.

The fire place in Arabella Figs' house lit up and Albus Dumbledore stepped through. She was waiting for him after he called to say he was making his way there. He greeted her before going out the door to towards number four privet drive. As he approached the house he saw Petunia step outside with her son in a pram. He walked faster and spoke just as he arrived on their pavement "Aaa Petunia. How lovely to see you. I am here to talk to you about young Harry."

Petunia gave him a look and said "We do not want anything to do with you freaks. You said you would leave us alone if we took in the boy. What are you doing here?"

"Let us step inside, this is not a conversation to be had in the vicinity of the neighbours, yes?"

Petunia seemed to notice for the first time where she was and number two was already peaking out of her window. She scowled and pushed the pram back into the house Dumbledore followed behind her.

The cupboard under the stairs was the same as ever and the smell coming from it made him want to gag. It was covered over by the smell of bleach. A normal person would not notice and think the owners of the house were obsessed with bleach.

She stood in the corridor and said to Dumbledore Okay what is it you are after?"

"I need you to move house. to a magically protected house I have set up for you. I found out that someone is searching for the boy and that someone is very powerful even more so than me or any wizard I know including the one who killed his parents. He will kill you to get him, Harry is very powerful. Who ever this wizard is who is looking for him wants him for his powers."

Petunia cut in "I thought you said you bound his magic."

Dumbledore nodded and said "I did but someone with more power than I do can undo the bindings. The new home I have chosen for you is in a very nice muggle neighbourhood. The house is bigger than this one and your husband will have a new job that pays more than he is getting now. There will also be a large payment for your inconvenience."

He remembered the boy was on the verge of dying last time he was there. It was the reason he had visited, his gadgets connected to his health showed him flickering. He went to the cupboard and opened it, when he went to reach for his wand, it was not the elder wand he normally used. He could not get that back as it was destroyed. It was his old wand he used before the fight with Grindlewald. He cast several spells, to clear the air, clean up the boy and heal his wounds just enough so he would live.

When he was done he waved his wand again and everything in the house packed itself. Petunia was looking like she swallowed a lemon. A moving truck came to their front yard and a for sale sign appeared on the grass. Satisfied Dumbledore said to Petunia, your husband will know where to go when he finishes work. Enjoy your new home Petunia."

With that he turned the pram she had her hand on into a portkey and sent her off. The movers were just for show for the neighbours. He turned back to the cupboard and did the same thing to blanket in Harry's hand that he did to the pram and Harry disappeared as well.
