Chapter 2 Arrival

Telepathic

………………………………

Harry Potter woke slowly from a very strange dream, opening his eyes he found himself staring up into a canopy of branches. Slowly sitting up, Harry looked down at himself…It seems that the strange dream wasn't actually a dream at all. For, what meet Harry's eyes as he looked at himself was not his sixteen-year-old body but one of a five year old. Standing he made his way over to his trunk, which he could see leaning against a nearby tree. Quickly he locked it and shrunk it then put it on a chain around his neck that only he would be able to remove, all with wandless and wordless magic. (The locking spell he used on the trunk made it so only someone who can speak: Parseltounge, Elvish, Dragoonish and Fay; and was extremely powerful, had the blood of all four founders and Merlin, and had the same magical signature as Harry, could open it or summon something from it. All Harry had to do was think of the thing he wanted and it would be summoned from the trunk. Now some may say 'isn't that a bit much?' or 'bit paranoid aren't you?' but there where things in that trunk that came from another world so Harry thought it best to be prepared.)

After that Harry turned to his familiars: Apollo- Harry's Silver, green and blue phoenix, Mystic- Harry's black Storm Sihir (Sihir are snowleapod like magical creatures who often have the power to control certain elements of storms, they can also make themselves appear as normal cats) and Snuffles- Harry's grim like Shadow Dog (Shadow Dogs are always black and larger then most dogs they can run faster, are far more intelligent and at night can change into the form of large black wolves; they can also shadow walk. Shadow walking is where you disappear into one shadow and appear in another).

Apollo, sorry but you'll have to disappear for awhile; call me if you need me and I'll do the same. Harry said telepathically to his familiar. Mystic, and Snuffles you can come with me if you want but I'm going to muggle London. Mystic and Snuffles said they would come. So with Mystic perched on his right shoulder and Snuffles walking on his left, Harry made his way to London.

As Harry walked down the streets of London, he received a few strange looks. He had put on the oldest pair of Dudley's clothes he had (all his clothes and things had shrunk to fit him, though Dudley's old hand-me-downs where still horrible) and had dirtied himself up quite a bit, but it was the cat on his shoulder and the dog that was nearly bigger then him by his side that really drew the peoples attention.

Harry hung onto Snuffles fur nervously 'How am I going to be 'found'?' Harry thought. 'I can't just walk up to Godric Hollow and say "Hi I'm your long lost son that you think is dead!" What will my parents think of me? Do they want me? It had been five years, what if Selaga was wrong and they don't want me back? What will I do if they didn't love me?'Harry was so busy in his thoughts, he didn't see the man walk out of the muggle hospital door until he ran right into him. As Harry fell over Snuffles growled at the man who had knocked his master over, and Mystic who had jumped off Harry's shoulder as he fell, stood in front of Harry protectively.

……………………………………………………………

Sirius Black walked out of the muggle hospital. Ever since Harry was taken, Lily insisted on having her children in a muggle hospital. As he stepped into the street, he felt something or rather someone run into him. Looking down he saw a small child on the ground before a large black dog that was growling at him and a small cat that stood protectively over the young boy took his attention.

"What have you done now Sirius?" James Potter asked his best friend as he exited the hospital with their other best friend Remus and heard a dog growling at Sirius.

"Me? Why do you think I did something?" Sirius said in a very fake hurt voice. James and Remus both gave him a look that said 'Are you mad? It's always you!' "Okay stupid question. But this time I didn't do anything! I just walked out the door when this kid ran into me." Sirius said as he returned his attention to the boy and his cat and dog. James and Remus came over to stand next to him catching a quick glimpse of the boy before the child vanished behind the dog.

"Hey Siri that dog look nearly exactly the same as Padfoot!" James exclaimed.

……………………………………………….

Harry sat up slowly listening to their conversation his heart beating at an alarming pace His thoughts flashed by, 'Oh God! Oh God! It's them! Well I guess this solves how I'm found. Oh no! I'm not ready! I can't do this! It's too soon!' Concerned thoughts, such as these, filled his mind as he began to panic. As they turned towards him, Harry hid himself behind Snuffles trying to calm his breathing.

"Hey, you alright?" Remus asked the boy leaning around the dog trying to get a good look at the boy.

"I'm alright, just a little startled is all." Harry said in a small voice "I'm sorry for running into your friend sir I guess I wasn't really paying attention to where I was going."

"That's alright kid." Sirius said stepping closer trying to get a better look at the boy, only to jump back as the dog snarled (obviously sensing his masters nerves and want to stay hidden) "Hehe… nice dog" Sirius said nervously eyeing the dog's now visible long sharp teeth.

"Snuffles!" the boy cried and the dog immediately stopped snarling and dropped his head though he kept his eyes on the men incase they tried to hurt his master. "Don't worry Snuffles won't hurt you, he's just a bit over protective of me same with Mystic."

"Your cat?" Sirius asked remembering the cat that had stood over the boy earlier.

"Yep"

"Where are your parents?" Remus asked, noticing it was getting late and the streets were a dangerous place for a child at night, even with the dog.

Harry was silent for a while, forcing himself not to say 'well you're standing right next to my father'. When Harry continued his silence, Remus began to think he wasn't going to answer. Then, Harry spoke so softly that most (James and Sirius) would have had to strained to hear but Remus being a werewolf could hear it fairly easily "Don't know"

"Are you lost?" James asked

"No it's just me, Mystic and Snuffles." Harry said still very softly, than a little louder he said "And I'm not going to no orphanage neither! They don't allow pets. We can take care of our selves we can!"

Sirius, James and Remus where all shocked, this kid was alone? He had no one? It just wasn't right! And it was nearly Christmas!

"What's your name kid? And how old are you?" James asked gently

"Harry and I'm five." James gasped 'Harry' his missing sons name was Harry. Come to think about it, his son would be five at the moment too, and both his son and this boy had black hair. But it wasn't possible; was it?

"Why don't you come out here where we can see you and you can see us, Harry?" James said in a shaky voice holding his breath slightly "We mean you no harm."

Harry took a deep breath, fixed his eyes to the ground and walked out from behind Snuffles so he was now standing next to his faithful dog clutching to his fur like it was his life line. Slowly he raised his head so he was looking at his father for the first time in fifteen years. He had to force the tears that where building back; he couldn't let them know he knew who they were. Putting on a face of confusion he asked the simple question that first came to mind.

"Why do you look like me?" It was true James looked like an older duplicate of Harry save for their eyes and the fact that the very tips of Harry's hair where red (very hard to see as his hair is short but when long it stood out quite a bit).

That seemed to be the last straw for James as he fell to his knees tears running down his cheeks though his eyes never left Harry. As James fell to his knees, Harry instinctively moved closer to Snuffles. When Harry was finally able to take his eyes away from James, he looked up at Sirius and Remus who where both staring at him as well and both had tears on their faces too.

"Did I do something wrong?" Harry asked in a small shaking voice.

This seemed to snap Remus out of it because he blinked and wiped the tears from his face, then he looked down at the little boy in front of him who looked scared.

"No, no Harry, you didn't do anything wrong. Nothing at all." Remus said trying to reassure the boy as he bent down so they where eye level.

"Th…then why were you crying? And why did he fall down?" Harry asked looking at James nervously

"What happened to your parents Harry?" Remus asked softly. Harry blinked at the sudden change in topic before shrugging uncomfortably.

"I don't know. I just remember 'Sir' and 'Madam', they weren't very nice. Not nice at all! So…so I left, I did and then I meet Snuffles and Mystic and they are nice so we stay together and look after each other."

"Did 'Sir' and 'Madam' call you Harry?" Remus asked wondering if they were Death Eaters

"No they call me Freak and Boy mostly. But I dream, and in it I hear people talking…" Harry said looking at his feet

"Oh? And what were these people saying?" Remus asked curious though also angry at the people who had previously 'looked after' Harry. He also managed to hit Sirius discreetly, snapping him out of his shocked state.

Harry frowned wondering what to tell them, he had just received the memories of baby Harry though they were all hazy and only short bits of convocation that had taken place around him in the hospital.

"There was a woman's voice first…she was saying how beautiful her baby Harry was and how much she loved him. That's why I chose the name Harry, because it made me feel that she loved me." Harry said in a soft dreamy voice. Remus nodded in encouragement.

"You said she was the first, what about the others?" Harry frowned as if trying to remember.

"The next were three men… I think their names were Prongs, Padfoot, and Moony…" here Harry paused looking closely at Remus "Why do you sound like Moony and those two sound like Prongs and Padfoot?" Harry asked pointing to James and Sirius.

"Because Harry," Remus said slowly watching Harry carefully "we are them, and the woman I think was your mother and James' wife; Lilly." Remus said motioning to James who now had his head in his hands and seemed to be talking to himself "And those dreams of yours weren't dreams at all but memories." Remus paused here to let this sink in and also to see how Harry was taking the news so far, before continuing, "I think Harry that you are James and Lilly's long lost son Harry who was kidnapped. That's why you look so much like James save for your eyes which are Lilly's and that's why James, Padfoot and I were upset as we thought you were dead."

Harry listened to Remus' explanation wide eyed, the whole time holding himself from running up to his father and hugging him only letting go to hug Sirius and Remus. Now that Remus was done, he looked over at James and found himself reluctant to go near him What if he pushes me away? What if he doesn't want me? Harry thought. Oh look at me I've faced the most powerful Dark Lord how many times and I can't even give my own Dad a hug? Where is my Gryffindor courage I'm so famous for? Harry sighed softly than took a deep breath and let go of Snuffle's fur and walked over to his father. Looking at the man with his head in his hands he reached out a shacking hand and touched he mans head.

James was on his knees with his head in his hands, crying and muttering to himself. Thoughts ran through his mind, 'how can it be true? It can't, Harry's dead! But there he is standing there in front of me? What if this is just a big elaborate trick? But why would someone do something like this? If it is Harry what if he doesn't want me to be his father? What if he doesn't like me?' It was these thoughts that were racing around when he felt a small hand touch his head. Looking up he saw those bright emerald green eyes that belonged to three people and tree people only: his wife Lilly, his new born daughter Little Lilly and his youngest son Harry. James' eyes swept over his sons face quickly 'this is my son! The son I haven't seen in five years! This is My Harry!' and with these thoughts in mind James pulled Harry into his arms. At first James felt Harry stiffen but that soon passed and Harry actually hugged him back in return. It felt so right having Harry in his arms, so perfect. He felt Harry put his head on his shoulder and whisper the one word James had been dieing to hear Harry say for so long now,

"Dad."

AN: I'd just like to say Thank you to all those who reviewed and answer a few questions.

Never Odd Or even : Thank you so much you were my first reviewer and I'm glad you liked my story I hope you continue to enjoy it and keep reviewing.

Brit : Thanks for the review

Bandgsecurtiyaw : Thanks for the review an I do plan on continuing this story as long as I keep getting reviews.

Diva : Thanks glad you like it. If you don't mind would you be able to tell me the titles of the stories you have read in which harry goes to another universe as I love those stories but can't seem to find many. Thanks again.

Wolfawaken : Thank you for your review and I will grant your wish if you continue to review. Thanks

Lady Taliesin : Wow great review! I am so glad you liked Segala I wasn't really sure if I did him okay, so I'm glad you think I did. Yes I know I completely suck at grammar and spelling and as I have no one to check it I completely rely on spell check, I'm working on it though. Yes I agree the first chapter was very short this ones a bit longer though. I agree I did rush Harrys dialog but I find him so hard to write #hen why am I writing a story about him? I don't really know save for the fact that this story has been stuck in my head for… I don't know how long.) thanks for pointing it out though I will try and work on it a bit. Ok to answer some questions:

1. How will Harry be able to defeat Voldemort and retain all of his current knowledge when he's stuck in a five year old's body? You will have to wait and see (I didn't say he would do it strait away)

2. What exactly are these fairy, dragoon, and elf worlds? You will see in time

3. Will Selaga come into the story again, and if he does what role will he play? He probably will come in again though I am not totally sure. But with comments about him like yours he almost has to come back in 

4. What about his siblings? They will most likely be introduced next chapter

5. ...did you mean "dragon" instead of "dragoon"? No I meant dragoon though not as a heavily armed cavalryman from the 17th and 18th centuries, but as a different species. Don't worry, more about them will be explained later on.

6. Segala what/who is he? Back round story? This will be explained later (I'm saying that a lot aren't I)

7. How is Harry going to pretend he's the five year old Harry from THAT dimension, when he's really the 16 year old Harry from THIS dimension? Well as no one knows ether Harrys any strange or mature behaviour will be passed of as how Harry grew up

8. I mean, he knows NOTHING about the other Harry...nothing! Won't Lily and James, and Sirius and Remus and EVERYONE suspect something! And if he does try to tell them the truth, will they believe him?Well no one else really knew the other Harry as he was kidnapped nearly straight after he was born. Yes if he told someone the truth they probably wouldn't believe him
9. And what's going to happen to 5 year old Harry, now 16 year old Harry's taking over his body? Are they going to swap places, or are they going to share the body, or what? 5year old Harry is dead remember.

I think that answers most of your questions please keep reviewing with such helpful advise (I really need all the advice I can get. Don't be afraid to say something doesn't work or doesn't sound good I won't know unless I'm told. Thanks you again and again.

Jess : Thank you I hope the rest is just as good. If you think it starts to go down hill don't be afraid to tell me that way I can hopefully keep it as good the whole way through.

YumiFukushima : Thank you! Is this soon enough?

A-man : I know it's a bit cliché but I always love these kinds of stories. Glad you like it though. As for power he had a lot but as his in a five year old body he may not be able to harness it all, but he will still have more then usual. As for making it a slash I not positive but I don't think it will be or if it is there won't be much and it won't be for a long time (his only five after all. And I don't think I would be that good at writing a slash story). Anyway Thanks for the review.

Icedragon : I don't think I could get sick of reading a review! The longer the review the better! Thanks for reviewing.

Anave Lipad : I love AU and powerful Harry stories to! Go us! Yeah I got a bit carried away with his siblings (But they only have 7 kids! Yes well that's a lot! No more then the Weaslys!), anyway I always imagined Lilly and James wanting a big family. Thanks for the review.

fenderbender505 : Thank you for your review. You pose a very important question I am surprised no one else asked it:

harry was born like 2 years after his parents left hogwarts, so how did that suddenly change in the other dimension? Well that's just it his in a different Universe and many peoples ages may be different also there may be new characters in this Universe and some of the old ones may not be in this Universe or may be a different age.

Siarah : Thanks for letting me know that I have another person out there who enjoys my story .
