A\N: I'm not really sure about this chapter but I had kept you all waiting long enough so I decided to post it anyway and I hope you like it!

Dedicated to loko-ka for being the first reviewer of the last chapter!

Last time:

Lilly sadly watched Harry stand awkwardly amongst the other children, clearly unsure as to what to do. No child, Lilly thought to her self, especially one of her own, should be so fearful and unsure that they couldn't even interact properly with their own siblings, nor should they so clearly be so unsure as to what to do with toys. She glanced at the others and noticed that they to seemed to share her thoughts, before looking back, just in time to see the girls quickly pulling Harry over to play with them.

She smiled slightly as Harry settled in-between his twin sisters, feeling a small weight lift of her chest. Only once she was sure Harry was all right did she allow herself to relax and turn to the conversation the others had just started.

Chapter 6: Moving On

"Speech"

Telepathic

If anyone form his old world entered the room and saw him now (taking that they already knew of the de-aging) they would have stopped in their tracks and gapped at him, and when they finally managed to pick their jaws up off the ground they would have immediately started a full investigation into what he had done with the 'real' Harry. The truth was Harry was enjoying himself, and had allowed for his five year old thoughts to come out and, thus he was now acting like a relatively carefree and normal happy child. It hadn't taken long for the girls to quickly come to fully accept him and now they were vying for his attention, not that Harry really noticed this.

Though for all his carefree playing he still froze and tensed when a large shadow fell over them.

"Hello daddy," Rosie, as she preferred him to call her, said as she smiled up at their father.

"Hello dear," James smiled back at his daughter, hiding his surprise at the reaction Harry had had to his presence.

Harry looked up and noticed that it had indeed been his father who had cast the shadow, and he slowly relaxed, automatically knowing that his father wouldn't hurt him.

"I'm sorry girls but Harry and I need to get going," James said and the girls either moaned in protest or pouted, and James couldn't help but grin at their reaction, glad that they had accepted Harry.

Harry frowned for a moment before remembering his father mentioning something about them visiting the Ministry today.

"You ready to go Harry?" James asked.

Harry nodded as he stood up before frowning slightly, "I don't have any shoes," he commented in his usual soft voice.

"Don't worry, your mother has just gone to find a pair," James told him, Harry's lips twitched into a smile, 'his mother', god he still couldn't get over the fact that he now had a family.

"Come on we'll meet her and Padfoot, who will be coming with us in the living room," James said as he resisted the urge to pick Harry up and carry him there.

Harry nodded and followed his father from the room; he had already learnt that the room he had been in was called the sitting room.

In the living room James started talking to Sirius but Harry wasn't able to find out what they were talking about as Mystic entered and approached him I will accompany you Shia Mystic spoke to his telepathically, he had never figured out why the animals he could communicate with all called him Shia, nor would they tell him when he asked.

You don't… Harry began in protest.

I will be going with you Shia Mystic said slightly more commanding, The mutt will stay however, Harry frowned knowing he didn't really have a choice in the matter.

The other humans will not allow… again Mystic cut him off.

They have little choice, Mystic replied gazing at her cub fondly and with a hint of amusement, they can not stop that which they do not know,

Harry smiled and nodded; now realising what Mystic meant, and in truth he felt a little better knowing she would be around.

"Harry?" Lilly asked as she entered the room, before she noticed him sitting on the floor petting his cat, "I have some shoes for you," she told him passing them over to him, "Why don't you put them on and I'll fix them so they fit a bit better," she told him with a warm smile.

Harry quickly put them on and found they where slightly to big for him, but his mother quickly resized them for him, "There all done," she told him and gave him a kiss on the forehead before standing and turning to James and Sirius, "You lot better get going or you'll be late," she told them, wishing she could go with them.

James grinned at his wife and kissed her check, "we'll be back by dinner time," he told her, then turned to Harry who had only just managed to get over the fact that his mother had kissed him like he'd watched Mrs. Weasley do to all her children many times before.

His father grinned at him, "Alright Harry we will be going by floo…" Harry groaned in his head as his father explained the basics of floo travel was, he hated floo, "…but you wont have to worry too much about any of that, as you'll be going through with me," James said as he picked Harry up, and Harry sighed in relief, "All you have to remember is to keep your eyes closed and don't take a deep breath. Alright, are you ready?" James asked as he took a small handful of floo powder.

Harry nodded his head nervously before burying his head into his fathers shoulder so he wouldn't breath in any ash. As they exited the fireplace in the Ministry Harry couldn't help but think that floo wasn't too bad when you where being carried.

They only had to wait a moment longer before Sirius stepped out and they continued on their way. Harry didn't pay much attention to where they were going as he relaxed in his father's arms and mused to himself about how he felt so safe there.

The Ministry appointment went fairly well, even though it annoyed Sirius that they had had to wait around for a good twenty minutes when the actual meeting only took ten. The Ministry worker had only had to do a quick scan of Harry and take a little blood, and Harry had gotten a lollypop for it, which Harry had to admit was defiantly an upside to being a kid again.

"Well how about we do a bit of shopping before we go see the Healer?" James suggested, and Harry tensed at that, "Don't worry Harry, it's just a check up," James soothed though he frowned at Harry's reaction.

Harry forced himself to relax slightly, he had never liked Healers or Doctors but he knew he had no choice this time.

"So where to?" Sirius asked.

"How about we get some shoes first," James suggested.

After trying on numerous pairs of shoes, James ended up buying him, one pair of slippers, two pairs of sneakers/runners, and a pair of formal black shoes. Once the purchases had been made they left the store and headed to St. Murgos, much to Harry's disappointment.

Harry quickly slipped off the bed and walked silently to the door, which he pressed his ear against. He could just make out what his father and the healer were saying.

"…severe malnutrition, dangerously underweight…" Harry could hear the Healer saying, none of which surprised him, "…extreme exhaustion…" Harry sighed, he rarely slept anymore and when he did he normally woke up again within a few hours from nightmares, he was in fact extremely shocked he had slept so well the night before.

Harry was unfortunately unable to hear anymore as at that moment he heard someone approaching so he hurried back to sit on the bed his father had told him to wait on. The door to his room opened just as he sat down and Sirius entered.

"Hey kiddo," he grinned and Harry smiled back, "how are you doing?"

"I'm fine," Harry, said softly, "are we going?" he asked in a slightly hopeful voice, inwardly wishing he'd say yes but knowing he'd say no.

Sirius's smile faltered slightly before steadying as he sat down on the bed next to Harry, "sorry kiddo, not yet," he said in a cheerful tone as he ruffled Harry's hair.

"I don't want to stay here," Harry mumbled, almost pouting.

Sirius raised an eyebrow, "Why not?" he asked curiously.

Harry frowned and looked down at his hands, which rested in his lap. Truthfully it wasn't just the fact that there were Healers here that made Harry dislike St Murgos, no it was more then that. It was the death that seemed to linger in the air, the memories of the people he'd seen die within this building; Remus had died in here, as had Arthur, Molly and Ginny, and that was just a tiny portion of the list. But alas he couldn't tell his Uncle those reasons.

"I just don't," he muttered, in a true childlike manner.

Sirius sighed, he knew that tone as one that meant he would not be hearing further on the matter. Quickly he scooped Harry up into his lap and hugged him, "well then why don't I tell you a story while we wait for your dad and Healer to finish up?" he suggested trying to think of a way to cheer Harry up.

"A story?" Harry asked as he looked up at Sirius with a mix of interest and confusion, "But we don't have any books,"

Sirius chuckled, "You don't always need books to tell stories," he told Harry, feeling another pang in his chest at this reminder that Harry hadn't grown up well, "So, would you like me to tell you one?"

Harry nodded quickly, his five-year-old side excited about the first story he would be told.

Sirius smiled gently down at his little dark-haired godson and began his tale, "Once upon a time, many years ago, their lived two great wizards and two great witches…"

Harry span quickly, dagger in one hand and his wand in the other, he'd been fighting for over three hours now, he was getting tired but the fight was almost over. He stunned the last of them when he felt a sharp fiery pain stab through his chest, looking down he saw the end of a sward sticking out of his chest. He cried out weakly as it was pulled out, and fell to his knees clutching his chest…

Harry woke with a start breathing heavily as he clutched his chest as he had in his dream/nightmare/memory. Pulling his hand away he gazed at his unstained hand in slight shock, as he couldn't help be feel it should be covered in blood. He sat up in his bed slowly and glanced over to were he could see his father sleeping in a large comfortable looking chair. The whole time he'd been here in hospital, three days and four nights, at least one of his family members (including the Lupins and Blacks) had been with him. He suspected this was not only to make sure he had someone he could talk to or be comforted by, by also, and probably more importantly, it was to make sure he was protected, after all it was from this hospital he was stolen last time.

Harry whimpered softly as he pulled his legs up to his chest, his memories, nightmares, would not leave him be, and it was clearly becoming apparent that he would not be leaving this hospital until he could both sleep and eat properly, something he was strongly beginning to think would never happen! 'So much for a second chance', Harry snorted to himself as he buried his head in his knees.

He had been dreaming of a Death Eater raid on a small muggle town when the horror scenes abruptly ended.

Harry sat up quickly and looked around half glad and half worried when he didn't see the hospital room he'd been staying in and instead saw a semi-familiar green field.

"Harry, my dear boy, great to see you again," Selaga grinned happily as he practically bounced over to him.

Harry grinned back at the immortal being, it was almost impossible not to, "Hey Selaga,"

Selaga dropped to the ground so he was sitting on the ground in front of Harry and studied the young man before him, "How are things?" he asked.

Harry sighed, "Great except that I'm stuck in St Murgos because my mind wont let me eat or sleep," he grumbled.

"Well that's easy enough to fix," Selaga snorted, "What about everything else?"

Harry blinked and stared at the immortal being in front of him, "Ea…Yo…I…You can fix it?" he finally stuttered out in a mix of hope and shock.

Selaga smiled his eyes twinkling in amusement and fondness at the child in front of him, "Of course I can fix it Harry, all you had to do was ask," he shook his head with a grin, "really, I sent you to another universe, gave you a second chace and you didn't think I could help you with such a small simple problem as this?"

Harry blushed slightly and gave the immortal being a sheepish smile, "When you put it like that… Anyway can, I mean I know you can but will you help me?" Harry asked hopefully.

Again Selaga sent Harry a look filled with fondness, "Yes Harry I'll help you," he told Harry in the most serious voice Harry had heard him use, "Now the question is, how do you want to go about it?" His grin reappearing as he practically began to bounce again.

Harry gave him a look of amusement and confusion, "What do you mean?"

"Well we can deal with your problem by wiping the memories that are causing the problems from your mind, or, and this is the best option in my opinion, I can dull your past life's memories so that you will still remember everything but they wont be as clear as they are now. This means they will no longer effect you as badly so you will be able to eat properly and they wont appear as often in your dreams, though now and then you may dream of them," Selaga told him and Harry barely had to think about it.

"Option two defiantly sounds best, cause I don't want to forget anything especially as it may come in handy in the future but I can't go on like I am…" Harry spoke though it was mostly to himself, "What's the catch though?" he asked, everything has a catch.

Selaga grinned at that familiar question, "Option one doesn't really have a catch, save for the obvious: You lose some memories, some learning experiences, and that kind of thing. Option two, well the catch is that I have to put you into a deep sleep, much like a coma, while I dull your memories, should only take three days at most, and you will most like act and feel much younger as your 'older side' wont be as strong as your 'younger side'," Selaga explained.

Harry thought about that for awhile, he knew that option two would worry his family a lot more but in the end he would come out of it better, "I'll go with option two," he answered hesitantly.

Selaga grinned at him, "Alright close your eyes and don't open them til I say,"

Harry did as he was told and felt something warm touch his forehead sending warm vibrations through his head and then he got the feeling of falling backwards and then nothing.

"…Harry…" Harry could hear someone calling him from a great distance, "Harry you can open your eyes now," the voice seemed so familiar but he was so comfortable, "Come on now, I have something to tell you and you'll want to hear it," Harry struggled to open his eyes and when he had he saw Selaga kneeling beside him.

"There you go," Selaga beamed at him and pulled him up into a sitting position, "Don't worry about your head feeling a bit fuzzy, that's just me dulling the memories, you should be back to normal clarity two maybe three days after waking up in the 'real world',"

Harry nodded his head slowly as he blinked slowly at the hyperactive divine being before him, "hmm, what was it you needed to tell me?" he asked after a moment, everything seemed to take longer for him to process at the moment it seemed.

Selaga grinned at him even as he bounced up and down in front of him making Harry feel a little sea sick watching him, "I've figured out a way to allow your siblings access to some of their heritages, but," Selaga continued on at a fast pace, "they won't be able to get all of their potential like you have and the ones that don't come to them will be completely wiped out of their blood meaning that none of their decedents will be able to inherit them, well at least not from them," Selaga paused for a moment only to take a breath and continue before Harry could say anything, "I also wont be able to chose which heritages come forward in each, I think it'll have something to do with their personality though and as they're not all the same they're most likely to inherit different things, oh and the other thing is that you wont be able to tell what they will inherit until their sixteenth birthday,"

Harry stared ahead of himself as his mind slowly interpreted the sudden influx of information he had just received. After a moment he grinned slightly, happy that he wouldn't have to have the whole responsibility of the many titles he'd inherit, as he had previously thought he would, now he'd be able to share them with his family, and he was secretly hoping at least one of them would inherit at least one of the magical beings inheritance so he wouldn't have to rule three realms on his own.

"Harry?" Harry looked over to Selaga who gave him a gentle smile, "I'm going to send you back now, but remember you are welcome to visit any time, whether because you're in trouble, need someone to talk to or if you just want to plan a prank," Selaga said the last with a twinkle in his eyes and a sideways smile on his lips.

Harry grinned at the being that had given him his greatest wish, "Thank you," he whispered even though those words just didn't go nearly far enough to express his true feelings.

"No problem my boy! Oh and Harry," Selaga called as Harry began to fade, "I expect you'll be seeing a familiar face soon!" then there was black as he drifted off into a deep restful sleep.

A/N:

OH MY…! I am so so sorry about how long this took me looks down in shame… My only excuse is that I was doing my last year at high school then had to start Uni which is quite a bit of work so don't expect my updating to get any better though you can always hope!

Thank you to everyone who reviewed and PM'ed me, they really kept me going and reminded me that I needed to keep writing more! Thank you also for the questions and comments about the story they often help me when I get stuck or when I forget about something I should probably mention, they also let me know when I need to explain something cause sometimes I don't cause I know about it and I forget you all don't know everything that's inside my head about the story, smiles sheepishly.

Alright the next few chapters Should have more about Harry's past as there will be a 'familiar face' so to speak appearing soon-ish, their should also be more interaction between the family and more of Harry's thoughts. So yeah stay tuned!

I've also been asked if this is going to have pairs and I'm pretty sure it will be a Harry/Ginny fic but aren't positive, it kinda depends on the story as it likes to change itself as I write it pouts… I've also been asked if I'm going to do Harry's pre-Hogwarts years in detail or just kinda skip ahead, and the answer is it depends on the story again, but I will say this, I do have a couple of events planed pre-Hogwarts so their will defiantly be a few chapters before Hogwarts. And for those wondering about when he'll meet the elves and things, I don't think that will happen until Hogwarts time, but then again I could be wrong…
