A Hero's Cry
Chapter 14
"You do realize your son is quite wealthy?" said Severus from the couch; the teachers were gathering around, Harry was off with Bobby and his girlfriend Rouge. They adults liked when he actually spent time with his friends and people his own age.
"I know he's never spent a cent of his earnings it's all accumulating in the bank" said Jean.
"I mean where he's from, in England. His birth Parents were very well off…he came from a very wealthy pureblood family" explained Severus.
"I see, could this be another reason Dumbledore wanted Harry broken?" Wondered Jean out loud.
"Possibly" said Logan, who was no longer travelling in hopes of remembering his life. He found he no longer cared about the past but wanted a future instead. He already had one with Jean and Harry as well as everyone here in the Mutant world.
"I'm not sure…the Dumbledore's are supposed to be very rich but Dumbledore likes to flaunt his wealth. He gets custom made clothes, runs the Order, donates to hundreds of different charities every year…he needs everyone to see how gentle and loving he is" sneered Severus.
"So there is every chance that he's bankrupt?" asked Jean.
"You don't go bankrupt in the wizarding world…well I suppose you could…but it hasn't happened in all these years. There is a chance he might have used the entire fortune" conceded Severus.
"Is there a chance he could get his hands on Harry's money?" demanded Xavier looking shocked and angry. He knew Dumbledore probably could do whatever he liked and get away with it.
"Yes" mumbled Severus wearily.
"How?" frowned Jean.
"Harry's godfather was no doubt put in charge of the vaults should anything happen to them. He's in Azkaban for life it's a prison for telling the Dark Lord where the Potter's were…there's a chance he could get guardianship of Harry. Or become his magical guardian and have full access to his vaults" said Severus "That is allowed up until they are twenty one"
"Jesus Christ we must have it investigated while we are over there, tell me is there any way that we could go in disguise? Would magic be able to do that?" asked Jean she didn't want anyone stealing her baby's money.
"Sure but Dumbledore could see right though them…I do have a poly juice potion though he wouldn't know then" said Severus softly.
"Poly Juice Potion?" frowned Jean she hadn't heard that potion mentioned before.
"Turns the drinker into someone else" explained Severus.
"How is that possible?" frowned Logan looking doubtful.
"You place a piece of the person you want to turn into inside the potion and drink it. It's not the most pleasant potion to drink especially with someone's hair or toenails in it" said Severus with a smirk as Logan gagged in disgust at the thought.
"That's just disgusting" said Jean.
"Are we getting some sleep before we go?" asked Xavier, himself, Severus, Logan, Jean and Harry had decided to go. They were going to Hogsmade; Xavier wanted to gather as much Intel as he could about the Wizarding world for Harry's sake.
"I'm not even tired" said Jean in fact she was rather excited about going to see what world Harry could have been a part of. She was sure not all of it could be bad, after all society had bad and good people.
"Me either" said Severus he had done nothing but rest, he was finally going back home even if it was just to gather his things. He was worried about things though and it must have shown as Xavier asked him why.
"You seem rather appreciative why?" asked Xavier softly.
"I'm just worried the Dark Lord may be able to track me though the mark" admitted Severus.
"Do you want Harry to remove it before we go?" asked Jean softly, he was back to his full strength now so Jean didn't mind letting Harry doing it.
"I'm worried my magic will be immense and knock me out" said Severus he didn't want to miss his opportunity to go back.
"It's possible but you have brewed quite a lot of potions, just tell us which ones to give you should that happen. I do not want to take any chances of someone hurting my son" said Jean softly.
"Ok" said Severus his resolve strengthened.
"Harry should have no problem doing it for you, he should be back in an hour" said Xavier. Harry always told them when he was coming home, and was always on time. He had never had any sort of teenage rebellion perhaps because of his childhood but he wasn't exactly sure.
"Do you think its even likely Harry will be recognized?" frowned Logan.
"Unfortunately yes" sighed Severus "When I first woke up I thought he was James Potter…he does look like his father but also has bits of his mother in him" said Severus with a sad smile.
They spoke about other things for the remaining hour before Harry came home. He found a very cheerful room with his parents and friends talking about magic and Mutant powers.
"Hey guys" said Harry softly it was twelve o'clock at night the others usually went to bed at half eleven. He knew their routine better then them sometimes, they did have students to teach tomorrow. Or at least they were supposed to; obviously it wasn't going to happen now.
"Harry I'm glad you're back Severus needs the mark taken off tonight before we go. He's worried Tom Riddle might be able to track him though it, will you be able to manage that?" asked Logan.
"Sure it's no problem, just…both of them will come down, whoever's getting your magic will stop getting it they will know something is up" said Harry.
"I think they already do its been months since I've been in touch with either of them" said Severus softly.
"Ok" said Harry, "Sit down" when Severus did, he rolled up his sleeve; Harry noticed the look of disgust Severus gave the ugly tattoo. It didn't seem like he was going to miss it then, Harry didn't know it caused Severus pain all the time.
Touching the mark, his head began to pound it was actually quite painful to touch. Groaning he quickly forced his magic into the mark, quickly making it go around Severus' body. Wanting it to be over with as soon as possible, he had to put up with the pain for a good five minutes before Harry finally saw the strands of magic begin to disintegrate.
Harry fell to his knees; Severus was the first to get to him, holding onto him quite snugly. Harry didn't want to move, he was comfortable, he liked Severus more than he had ever liked anyone. He wasn't going to admit it, when it was obvious Severus didn't like him that way. Unrequited love sucked, and Harry was beginning to believe it.
"Are you ok?" asked Severus soothingly.
Logan held Jean back, whispering to her to look at how comfortable Harry looked. She looked so sad, watching her son she was going to have to speak to Severus. See how he felt before having a long conversation with her son, she would have to find somewhere else for Severus or keep them out of each others way. She would be damned if her son hurt because of a stranger staying in his home, he wasn't a stranger she liked him but her son came first.
"I'm fine just give me a minute" said Harry his hands firmly on his forehead, trying to stop the pain. Finally the pain started ebbing away as he sat there, unfortunately Severus didn't stay long, and reluctantly Severus let Harry go. Jean noticed the look on Severus' face and grinned like a Cheshire cat, so Severus liked his son and didn't want to admit it. She wondered if it was because he was young or if he was scared Harry wouldn't accept him.
"I'm going to lie down for a while" muttered Harry softly "Wake me up when its time to go"
"Of course sweetheart" said Jean looking worried.
"I'm fine mum" murmured Harry slipping out and going to his bed.
"Will he be ok?" asked Logan softly he hadn't seen Harry so down before.
"He will be fine, he just has a sore head" said Xavier softly.
It wasn't a surprise when Jean, Logan, Severus and Xavier ended up falling asleep in the room waiting for four o'clock to come. Thankfully Severus had set an alarm to wake him up, which woke the entire room up. Jean went up to see Harry making sure he was alright before bringing him down.
"It's just a shame you won't be able to get the books you wanted" said Logan to Xavier as they walked out to meet Harry and Jean.
"You won't need to buy any books; I have enough to bring you up to date. I will also bring my catalogue with me, it brings things automatically though a box I bought as a teenager" said Severus only really anti social people really bought the box. Most Witches and Wizards preferred apparating and seeing what they were getting instead of trusting people. It was four o'clock in the morning not even in the wizarding world did shops stay open all night. Sure there were a few pubs open and a few big food retail stores but that was it.
"Fantastic" beamed Xavier - he was rather looking forward to having a read at this world.
Harry drank the potion as soon as he apparated them all away, he was now Bobby he found it rather odd walking around as his best friend. However, he knew it was the best thing all around.
First stop was Gringotts.
Jean was making Harry take control of his vaults and stop anyone accessing them.
