Time skip 3 weeks.

"Up!" Leo shouted and Harry bolted up from his bed already wide awake. It had been three weeks since he had gained his powers, started training and three weeks since he had been declared "Missing" by Dumbledore. When that had happened everyone was on the lookout for the Boy-Who-Lived.

The training had done wonders for him, once 5ft 5 harry was now 6ft even and Leo predicted he would gain another five inches by the end of the summer. Of course the nutrient potions that Leo made for Harry also helped somewhat with his growth and new body. He had gained more muscle and was no longer the thin sickly looking boy he was before.

He had also let his hair grow out. It was medium length coming down halfway to his neck while the front which was slightly shorter hung in front of his eyes obscuring them slightly.

His eyes were the same green but they had flecks of gold in them that Bloodroot had explained occurred because of his power gain.

Leo was his trainer a fire elemental like him and a friend of the goblins and used to be a Hit wizard and Auror. Harry and Bloodroot had both told Leo exactly why they needed his help and all about Dumbledore. He had agreed to train Harry and the two had quickly become best friends.

Leo was tall; he towered over Harry at 6ft 7 and had a muscular build. He had short cropped golden brown hair with silver eyes. He had a kind face and had a laid back demeanor but he had proven time and again why he was dangerous. Leo was both dangerous and deadly and he put Mad-Eye to shame with some of the things he knew.

Harry was progressing well with his training. The first thing that Leo had taught him was how to fight. When Harry had asked why Leo replied "Wizards find Muggle fighting below them and many will not know how to fight. This gives you an advantage over them."

When he had become competent in fighting Leo had him start using weapons. He couldn't use the sword of Gryffindor yet (which was given to him by Bloodroot saying that it was now rightfully him. How he got it Harry never found out.) But Leo had other swords that he taught Harry how to use. Then came his fire elemental training which he excelled in. The first time he used it he nearly burned the house they were staying in to the ground, but now his control of his power had grown and he mastered the things taught to him by Leo with ease.

There was a hitch in his magical training however seeing as the simplest spell exploded anything in the vicinity from the sheer power that was used in the spell. Harry had yet to control the flow of his magic and they could not find out what Harry's animal was to start his animagus training.

"Come on Harry time for our morning run. Then we'll do some elemental training before visiting the goblins." Harry nodded and began to prepare.

He and Leo had finished the first mile when Hedwig joined them. Harry smiled happily as her song soothed him and gave him a boost in energy. He had been so relieved when she had found him and even happier with her new form.

Hedwig had become a Phoenix. Pure white feathers and even more beautiful than Fawkes. She had shared how it happened with him and he was glad that she wasn't harmed.

After an hour of running they proceeded to start with the elemental training. Leo was going to teach him how to light his entire body on fire. "This is a very hard thing to do and very dangerous so be careful and don't worry if you don't get it right the first time. Leo then proceeded to show Harry exactly how to do it. "Another thing to remember is that you can only do this for as long as you can hold your breath. So we'll also be working on holding your breath.


The Weasley household

The house was quiet with the only bit of talking going on was in the kitchen of the Burrow where the order meeting was being held. Everyone who could not attend was upstairs in Ginny's room.

The twins looked somber and hadn't even cracked a joke since Harry vanished the only one who didn't look remotely sad was Ron and he was standing in a corner of the room glaring at them sorting a black eye courtesy of the twins for mouthing off on Harry.

There was a knock on the room door and all occupants looked up. Mrs. Weasley poked her head in and informed them all that the meeting was over. Everyone filtered out of the room. By the time the Weasley children got to the second landing they could hear their mother's cries.

Many of the Order members had already left the only ones remaining was Dumbledore, their father, Remus and Tonks, but she said she had some business in Diagon and quickly left but not before giving Remus a quick hug and kiss.

Ginny looked at Dumbledore hopefully but she saw nothing but sadness. What she didn't know was that under his exterior of sadness he was actually raging. His anger at the situation was beginning to grow out of control. How could he the most powerful man on the planet not be able to find one stupid little boy.

Dumbledore swore that when he found Harry he would make him pay. "I'll bind him to me. When I'm done he won't have any free will he'll just be a puppet to do my bidding."

His thoughts were interrupted by Ron. "Forgive me dear boy, but could you repeat the question."

"Will Hermione be able to stay with us for the summer?"

"I am afraid not her parents want her home after what has happened so I believe that it is unlikely." Ron frowned and walked away.

Dumbledore bid them all a good day and left for Hogwarts where he saw his spy looking as if he had been run over by the Hogwarts express.


Voldemort was staring at his inner circle who were all kneeling before him probably shitting themselves with fear. "How is it that a boy who has not even completed his schooling managed to evade not only Dumbledore but you as well?" His cold voice echoed through the room. "No answer?" He raised his hand casting the Cruciatus the entirety of the inner circle fell to the ground twitching. He held them under the curse for a minute smiling to himself. This new power was amazing and he knew where it had come from. Potter.

He felt the power surge through the mind link a few weeks back and when he had recovered from the immense pain he found that his power had increased.

"I will no longer tolerate your failures. See to it that you all find him or the consequences will be severe. Leave me all of you except for you Severus." He hissed out menacingly.


Dumbledore sat at his desk pondering his next moves and trying to figure out where the boy was. Only one good thing had come from his disappearance and it was that Voldemort was focusing all his attention on finding him so he had not attacked anyone.

He was worried when Snape had told him that Voldemort seemed to have gotten stronger but put that aside for later.

However another problem proceeded to pop up and make his life hell, many of the pureblood families on the Wizengamot had stopped listening to him and began making decisions that would later benefit Voldemort. One of them was Longbottom's Grandmother and a few more light sided and neutral purebloods.

He didn't know what was going on with them but he would need to figure it out soon. He pulled some parchment towards him about to schedule meetings with them when his wards alerted him that someone was approaching his office.

It couldn't be Severus so who is it. He wondered. Seconds later an extremely exhausted Tonks burst through the door. He adopted his grandfatherly persona. "Ah hello Nymphadora to what do I owe this unexpected visit."

Surprisingly she didn't even reprimand him of his use of her first name. "Ha...Harry I saw him... in Gringotts." She said in between breaths.


Harry washed himself of the sweat and the soot marks he had gotten from training. The meeting with the Goblins would not take more than an hour and when they came back Leo promised to work with Harry on his animagus training. Harry's mind drifted to Hermione and the rest of his friends.

Leo said that he couldn't risk contacting them if they were with Dumbledore and he had unwillingly agreed. He knew that he would have trouble with Hermione for making her worry but it would be worth it. He would return to Hogwarts free of Dumbledore and stronger than he had ever been.

He had gotten all of his friends' letters which were given to him only after Bloodroot screened them all but he couldn't reply to any of them. The majority had been from Hermione asking where he was if he was ok, he even saw smudges on the ink from her tears. His heart broke. The ones form Dumbledore were just Portkeys that had been disabled.

He would make it up to her. He thought about Ron. No matter how much like a git he behaved Harry didn't want to lose him. Ron was the first friend that Harry had ever made and he didn't want to lose that. He hoped Ron would come to his senses soon and come back to their group.

Then there was Neville and Luna two people whom he had just gained as friends. They had both progressed so well in the DA and Harry was proud. Neville seemed to gain more confidence in himself while Luna made friends. He hoped that they would both survive the war.

His thoughts eventually drifted towards his once enemy. Draco. Sure the boy said that he had changed and Harry was willing to give him a chance to redeem himself but that didn't mead he had to blindly trust Draco. This was a lesson that Leo had taught him. Never trust anyone completely. So for now he would see how things with Draco worked out.

He stepped into the living room and placed his hand of the Portkey that was given to them specially made from Bloodroot. When they landed Leo grabbed Harry's hand to keep him from falling and the two proceeded to enter the building under their glamor charm that changed Harry's hair and eye color and hid his scar. They did not notice the person who entered after them.

"So what do you think my form is going to be Leo?" Harry asked. They still hadn't figured it out yet.

Leo shrugged his shoulders. "I'm not entirely sure what it might be. In fact it could have changed from because of the power increase your inheritance gave you Harry."

Tonks head shot up. Did she hear correctly? Did that man just call the boy Harry? She looked up lengthening her hair so they obscured her eyes as she gazed at them. The man she did not recognize, but the boy even though different from Harry with long blond hair, taller, and better built still looked and sounded like Harry. If only he would turn around. But luck was not with her. They approached a teller.

Tonks was facing a dilemma. What if this was Harry? She asked herself, but then again what if it's not. She approached the teller next to them her hair changing to a long honey color. And she heard what she needed to even if it was whispered in the lowest of voices. The goblin had clearly said Mr. Potter.

Hem Hem. Her gaze snapped to the Goblin before her who looked impatient. She grinned sheepishly. "Sorry I forgot my key." She said to him and turned around leaving a confused Goblin behind.

Walk slowly, don't give yourself away, have to get to Dumbledore, and don't trip. Yet despite everything she still managed to trip over her feet.


Harry glanced behind them and noticed the woman leaving trying to seem casual but failing as she tripped over her own feet. Harry snickered and drew the attention of Leo who raised an eyebrow. Harry just shook his head thinking nothing of it.

This meeting was to discuss Harry's finances and seeing as they were so large it had taken quite a while but it was done which was why they were here today.

They sat down in the offered seats. "Good afternoon Leo, Harry. Please remove your glamour charms." They did so. "How is your training coming along?"

"Well Bloodroot I have to say that it's going well never has anyone I trained picked up the material so fast. But we have hit some roadblocks. He still can't control his power output and we still haven't found what his animagus form is yet."

Bloodroot chuckled. "You progress fast Harry." The boy blushed from the praise. "Yes I dare say that when you master all your powers you will be a great wizard, do not let me down. Now on to other matters, in about two days the Ministry will announce that you have become Lord Potter, but not Lord Gryffindor only those you want to find out will know."

"So this means that everyone will be aware of my new status?" Bloodroot nodded his head.

"We could not keep this information any longer without going against ours and your wizarding law." Harry nodded.

"Good now you know I hope you will prepare, on to other matters. Seeing as your vaults have large amounts of gold it took us a while to count it all and find everything that is yours. All of your finances are in here." Bloodroot slid a folder toward him.

Harry opened it and looked it over. Leo and Bloodroot were conversing and he tuned them out.

Harry looked over everything twice before he fully realized how wealthy he really was. In a shocked voice he asked "Is all this really mine?"

"Yes of course it is. Did you know that your family is one of the three richest in Europe." Harry's eyebrows shot up. "Yes In fact they are part of the big three as we Goblins like to say. The Potters along with the Blacks and the Longbottom's are the three richest families in the country. Outside of those three there are all the other families such as the Malfoy's, Greengrass and many others."

Outside the bank something else was going on. Dumbledore and the order had assembled in record time. Only one's that were missing were Snape and Ron. "Are you sure that Harry is here?"

"Yes Molly quite sure. But we need to get him out quickly before any danger can befall him." Molly was trembling wringing her hands in pent up frustration.

"Why can't we just go into the bank and get him?" She asked.

Because Tonks said he was with another person and we have no idea what he is capable of or whose side this mystery man is on. That and Gringotts is neutral grounds no magic is to be used in there by wizards, and I for one do not wish to be remembered as the man who started a goblin rebellion."

"Do you really think that it would come to a fight?" Remus asked.

"It could and it can never help to be too cautious. We do not know who the man he is with is or what he is capable of so everyone be on your guard. We must do everything in our power to bring Harry back to safety. And back under my control." He added that last part in his head.

Dumbledore was fingering his wand. He wouldn't give Harry the chance. The moment he gets out of the bank I'll immobilize him and capture the other. And then I'll see to do damage control and fix everything and follow through with my plans for the boy.

Meanwhile deep in the Potter vaults Harry, Leo and Bloodroot were examining some of the Battle robes. "You should take some of these Harry they are made of dragon hide and judging from the quality I would say that they can withstand some dangerous spell work well everything but the unforgivables." Harry nodded and stored several of the robes inside the bottomless bag that Bloodroot had given him.

But this wasn't what they were here for. Harry was here for the trunk that his parents had left for him. And he saw it stashed away in a corner surrounded by suits of armor.

The trunk was about the size of his Hogwarts trunk and it was an old dusty brown color. There was no way to open it that he could see but on the lid of the trunk was an outline of a hand and so Harry placed his right hand on the outline and the trunk flashed blue before it snapped open to reveal things that belonged to his parents and sitting on top of it all was a single white envelope that had his name written in an elegant script.

Harry closed the trunk again as a wave of emotion hit him. Here inside this very trunk were things that belonged to his parents and the letter was probably their last words to him. He would read the letter later today. He didn't think that he would be able to handle it right now.

He shrunk the trunk and put it in the bag. Bloodroot then presented him with a Gringotts card that would act as a credit card in both the Magical and Muggle world, and a wallet containing around 500 pounds in Muggle money. The card and the wallet had cost around a thousand Galleons but it was worth it. The credit card could be used as an ID or a driver's license in the Muggle world, and if it was lost or stolen it would just reappear in Harry's pocket after 5 minutes the same was for the wallet.

He decided not to go to the Gryffindor vault as the ride would have taken quite a while and he needed nothing from it.

With all their business done Leo and Harry bid Bloodroot a good day and proceeded to exit the bank.

If Leo had been an ordinary wizard that he would not have reacted in time and Harry would have been captured. But luckily Leo wasn't an ordinary wizard which was why the moment he stepped out of the bank he spotted the danger which was a spell heading right for unsuspecting Harry who wasn't paying attention. He immediately tackled Harry to the floor and Dumbledore's spell flew past them.

Wands out and ready for a fight both Harry and Leo jumped up and Harry's eyes narrowed at the sight of Dumbledore, who looked extremely pissed off. But that look quickly vanished and he replaced it with one that showed nothing but that stupid twinkle in his eye and that grandfatherly smile. "Ah Harry it seems that we have finally found you, if you and your companion could just lower your wands." Harry didn't reply and didn't lower his wand. Leo just gripped his tighter and moved in front of Harry discreetly slipping him a Portkey that would take him back home.

Dumbledore frowned. "Harry." He said with a little more force in his voice be reasonable and come with me I'll take you to Number 12 where you can spend the rest of the summer."

"No Dumbledore I don't think that I will. In fact I'm never listening to you again. I know what you did and if you think I'll let you do it again you're wrong." This time it was Mrs. Weasley that spoke. Harry was trying to think of how they knew he was there when the memory of the woman tripping over her feet flashed in his mind. His eyes found Tonks and he let out a small groan.

"Harry dear we are just concerned for you come back and work it out I'm positive that whatever Dumbledore did he did to keep you safe." She was trying to be the voice of reason. Maybe he'll listen to her. Dumbledore thought but no such luck.

"I'm sorry Mrs. Weasley but I can no longer trust him."

Remus's mind was working a mile a minute. What was Harry talking about? How could he not be able to trust Dumbledore? What was going on? He made a move forward. Leo's wand pointed right at him. "Don't move."

"Harry who is this?" Dumbledore asked. Harry could hear and see the barely contained rage.

"My name is Walter Westland and you take another step and I'll curse you. Harry and I will be leaving and if you try anything there will be a fight and I can guarantee it will be one that you will not win." The other Order members watched this standoff while only Dumbledore, Remus and Molly attempted to get Harry back. Moody was gaping at the man as recognition flashed across his scarred face.

Tonks and the twins were watching with shocked expressions. "I'm a friend of Harrys." Remus said, and moved another inch when a yellow beam of a curse whizzed past him.

"Next time you'll die don't move."

"Please calm down there is no need for violence we are only here to take Harry back with us." Dumbledore attempted to reason.

"Didn't you hear me the first time?" Harry said angrily "I'm not going anywhere with you."

Dumbledore was still smiling and it pissed Harry off could nothing faze this man. "Dear boy it is not safe for you to be out only I can offer you the protection that you need from Voldemort."

"Ha." He laughed at Dumbledore which caused the old man to become angrier. "Not anymore old man I'm perfectly safe where I am right now. So you can take your offer or whatever and shove it." Fred and George had heard enough it seemed as if something was going on between Harry and Dumbledore and they would find out what but right now it seemed as if their talents were needed. Fred nudged George who nodded and waved at Harry who glanced his way. George gave him a thumbs up and a wink.

"Get ready to leave Leo." Harry whispered. Leo nodded.

Harry smiled and lowered his wand. "A good decision Harry now come along and we can get you bac-" Everything went pitch black and Leo grabbed Harry's hand and activated the portkey.

Dumbledore vanished the black smoke and whirled around looking for Harry and his companion, but they were already gone. He tuned to the Weasley twins with a fury in his eyes.

This didn't bother them at all they just kept on grinning. "So sorry there Headmaster but there seems to be a hole in my pocket." George said while grinning impishly.


Both him and Leo landed in a crumpled heap on the floor. "That was a close one. Remind me to thank your friends the next time I see them. How did they find us?"

"Someone, Tonks from Dumbledore's order was at the bank at the same time we were and she saw me."

"Dammit we'll have to be more careful when we go out the next time."

"Why did you tell them who you were?"

Leo grinned. "I didn't. In fact Walter Westland was a Muggle who died at 42 years old in America in 1432."

"How did you know him?"

"I don't." Harry looked at him with raised eyebrows. Leo just smiled and shook his head.

Two hours later Hogwarts

Dumbledore was sitting behind his desk with the rest of the order talking loudly around him. Molly was yelling at the twins who just sat there looking as if they didn't have a care in the world. When the noise had risen another notch he had finally had enough.

He raised his wand and let out a series of loud bangs that quieted everyone down immediately. "Has anyone found out anything about this man Harry is with?" Dumbledore asked his gathered forces.

"No Dumbledore there is nothing about this man in any of the Ministry records." Kingsley said.

Remus stayed quiet still upset they did not get Harry back and mad because even though he was a friend Harry didn't seem to mind if he was cursed by the other man. Something was wrong he would try and find out what.

"Aye I asked some of the older more veteran Aurors they have never heard of this man whoever he is." Moody growled out taking a sip from his hip flask.

Dumbledore turned to Minerva. "Nothing about him in the Hogwarts registry."

Dumbledore sighed in defeat taking some time to ponder. "It seems that we are dealing with another Dark wizard." Moody snorted, Dumbledore did not elaborate further but they could sense the panic in his voice. "We must find Harry Kingsley do you think you could put out a warrant for the man?"

"I'll see what I can do Albus." He said before leaving.

"Very well that is all please try and find out more on this man." They filed out of his office leaving him alone with his thoughts.

Who was the mystery man and why could they not find anything on him. That alone cemented his thoughts that the man was Dark. Maybe not Voldemort dark but dark none the less. If he corrupted Harry it would only make Dumbledore's life harder.

And then there was Harry himself. The boy looked different much more confident, and powerful. He could only hope that the goblins did not tell the boy of his inheritance but that hope was beginning to die out and quickly. He remembered what the boy said to him and that probably meant the goblins gave him his inheritance. He needed a plan and quickly.

It took a while but Dumbledore came up with a plan and it put a sour taste in his mouth to have to use the plan but it was for the greater good. Plus it wasn't as if anyone would be harmed too severely and what was the life of one girl. If it got Harry back under his control he would do it.

He floo called Severus who was in his lab brewing his loyalty and hate potions. Giving him the slip of paper he gave Snape his instructions. "This is the address of Ms. Granger. Take this and give it to Voldemort, tell him her and the boy are dating and you acquired her address and are certain if he was to attack or capture her Harry would show up."

Snape looked at Dumbledore. He couldn't believe that their leader of the light would do this. "Why?"

"We need to get Harry back and this may be the only way. It does not please me to do this but it needs to be done. But fear not when Harry shows up we will be there to capture him and save the Grangers."

Snape just looked indifferent at the explanation. "Whatever its on your head if anyone dies." This had the potential to go sour and Dumbledore knew it but right now he needed to act before anymore of his plans became undone.


A/N: Well this is the end of the chapter. The plot thickens. What's going on with the purebloods? Will Dumbledore's plan work? Point out any mistakes if you see them. It would have been longer but I decided to cut some stuff out and put it in the next chapter. I'll see you then.

Drop a review telling me what you think. All reviews are welcome, yes even flames.

Until next time!
