Harry and Hermione spent most of the train in silence, content to let the rest of the group in the compartment, Neville, Luna, Ginny, and Ron carry on the conversation. Once at the King's Cross station they shared a look before reaching for their trunks.

Trunks in hands the group departed. The dynamic duo managed to maneuver themselves to the back of the pack for last minute planning.

"Harry, my family, Sev, and I will meet you at the Dursley's."

He grimaced at the thought of his relatives. "Time for game faces." Harry motioned to the waiting group of red heads.

The Weasleys along with several Order members were waiting patiently for the students. The pair both took deep breaths before heading straight into the thick of things.

"Harry! Hermione!" Mrs. Weasley pulled them each into a rib wrenching hug. Their faces smashed into her bosom. "You two must make plans to come to the Burrow later this summer. Now, Harry make sure you owl us and let us know how those relatives are treating you. And don't worry, I'll make sure to send some treats."

With a last bear hug to each, she gathered up her brood and they were gone.

Hermione hugged Harry placing a small lingering kiss on his cheek. "I'll see you in a little bit."

With a quick wink and a smile at his blush, Hermione turned towards her waiting party. She followed her parents to their limo where a certain black haired, black eyed stranger waited. As he assisted Hermione into the vehicle, black eyes caught green. With a small nod at Harry, the individual climbed in behind Mia and they were off.

Gathering his thoughts, he glanced about. "Remus!"

"I was wondering when you were going to return from fantasy land." He teased. At the darkening of Harry's blush, Remus' amusement grew. Finally he became somber. "For security reasons, the Dursleys were instructed to not come to pick you up. Instead I will be transporting you via portkey. Ready pup?"

Remus head out a small ball point pen. With a secure grip on his trunk, Harry placed a finger on the pen and the two disappeared. Within a few seconds they were standing in the Dursley's back yard.

"Okay Harry. I'll wait until you safely inside before heading off. Make sure to owl us and let the Order know how you're doing." Remus smiled at the boy.

With a small smile and wave, Harry disappeared into the house. Remus waited until the door was closed before pulling another portkey from his pocket and disappearing.

In the limo, Mia greeted her parents with hugs and kisses before relaxing into a seat next to Sev. With a simple "Number 4 Privet Drive Dan" the car was in motion towards Surrey.

Settling further into the seat and into Sev's side, Mia dropped the glamours. "It feels wonderful to be able to walk around in my own skin again."

A smooth chuckle came from beside her. "I quite agree."

Black eyes met black twinkling eyes. Gone was the greasy lanky hair, large bulbous nose, sallow skin, and yellow teeth. Now there was long soft flowing black locks, golden tan skin, an aristocratic nose with high cheekbones and pearly white teeth with a pair of slightly elongated canines. The two quickly turned their attention to Mia's parents.

Levi and Simone smiled knowingly at the pair. With a soft chuckle, Simone inquired about their summer plans. "I assume you've created a suitable plan for this summer?"

"It's actually a very simple one. Once we replace Harry, we will retire to Severus' family estate. There is a special time altering room we can use to train in." At this she turned to Sev. Smirking, he nodded for her to continue.

"Between the three of us, Harry, Sev, and myself, it was decided that Harry and I should go ahead and perform the ancient bonding ceremony this summer. By using the time room, we will of course age and undergo our magical maturations. Plus it will help to keep Harry out of Dumble's evil clutches. Is this alright with you Mom and Dad?"

"Of course honey. Also, don't forget to schedule some mother-daughter time please." Hermione beamed at this.

Levi leaned forward. " Mia, let's get back to Harry. What about his inheritance? As your mate, he must carry some type of creature blood. Have you accounted for this?"

Reaching into her bottomless rucksack, she pulled out a small file. Pressing the corner it doubled in size. "Harry had a combination. It was actually quite surprising for all of us. Let's see. Here it is." She rifled through various papers before pulling out a sheet of parchment. She shared a look with Sev. "Vampire, high elf, Ancients, and Angelus."

Both Levi and Simone gasped. "Ancients and Angelus? Maybe we should join you this summer."

With a triumphant look, Sev joined the discussion. "Please do. Any help to ease his transformation and to help prepare him would be greatly appreciated."

"We agree. Even with Mia's superb planning abilities I'm sure there are things that need fine tuning. Once Harry joins us, we can regroup at the house for the evening."

Hermione's head bobbed. "Both Sev and I feel that the combination of Ancients and Angelus will dominate and push both the elf and vampire into a dormant mode."

Both Grangers gave some thought to the young man's genetics before mentally agreeing with the two's theory. "Oh! That reminds me. Harry is going to need to stop and get a new wardrobe as well as other proper wizarding attire. So how about we just make a day of it." There was a low groan from Sev's direction at the thought of all day shopping.

"What's the matter Sev? Don't want to spend the day with us?" Mia and Simone shared a bemused look.

"Just not a fan of shopping. Mr. and Mrs. Granger would you like to accompany us?"

"I think we'll pass. We need to get things settled for our change in summer plans."

At that moment Dan's voice rang out through the limousine. "We're pulling up to our destination now sire."

"Thank you Dan. How should we do this?"

"Remus should already be gone. I'm on duty right now, which will allow you two," Sev pointed to Mia and Levi, "to do whatever you need to do to get Harry."

"Great. Let's go Mia." Hermione and her father climbed from the limo and walked to the front door. Levi knocked and waited.

Petunia Dursley answered the door. "Can I help you?"

"We're here to pick up Harry. May we come in? We'll only be a few moments."

With a pinched look, Petunia pulled the door open wider and allowed them entry. The pair entered the foyer. Once the door was closed, they sprang into action. The three Dursleys were quickly silenced and gathered in the living room.

Mia quickly found Harry's room. Unlocking all the various locks, she opened the door. "Harry?"

"Mia! That was the longest drive ever!" He grabbed her in a huge hug. "Now what exactly is going on?"

"Simple. You're coming with us and Harold," she paused. A few seconds later Harold appeared, "will be taking your place."

Two identical Harry's stared at each other. Putting his hand out, Harold introduced himself. "Hello. My name is Harold Potter."

Grinning, Harry grasped the hand. "Hi. I'm Harry Potter. Very nice to meet you."

Pulling Harold into the room, Mia briefed him on his orders. Handing a small necklace to him, she explained. "This is a vial of Harry's blood. You'll need it for the blood wards and other evil schemes Dumbles has set up. Contact us if you need anything." Brandishing her wand she quickly summoned and shrunk Harry's trunk and school items. Placing everything in her small bag, she began to leave the room. Turning one last time to look at the replacement she spoke, "Have some fun this summer, okay?" She gave a small mischievous grin before flouncing out the door.

Harry and Mia found Levi along with the Dursleys in the living room. "Almost finished Dad?"

"Just about." A few more whispered incantations and Levi was guided the pair out of the house and towards the limo.

In the limo Harry found himself between Mia and the stranger. Hand out, he introduced himself. "Hello. I'm Harry Potter."

The stranger's eyebrow rose slowly before a tan hand enclosed around Harry's. "I know who you are Mr. Potter. However, let me introduce myself. My name is Severus Anthony Snape. You are permitted to call me either Severus or Sev." He smirked at Harry.

Harry froze. His eyes locked with Sev's. Several small laughs from the other side of the limo's compartment broke them up.

"Severus! Leave the boy alone!" commanded Simone between giggles. Levi and Hermione just watched the entertainment all the while suppressing the urge to laugh.

"Harry you're face is Weasly red!" taunted Mia. After a few more snickers, Levi pulled the attention back to the summer plans. The group quickly brought Harry up to speed as they traveled to the Grangers.

The group spent the evening relaxing and finalizing plans.

"Tomorrow you three take the limousine to wherever it is you need to go. Si and I will stay here and sort through everything and pack." Levi spoke up.

"What about your practice sir?" Harry inquired.

Simone smiled. "It's really just a cover story for our muggle lives." She winked at Harry.

Redirecting the conversation back to the matter at hand, Mia grabbed her tablet of paper."Okay Harry. We need to get you a new wardrobe tomorrow. Anything else you want to do?"

"How about contacts?"

Severus contemplated the boy. "I think Harry we can probably get your vision corrected in Knockturn Alley."

Making a note on the paper, Mia looked up. "That everything?" At Harry's tentative nod, she turned her gaze to Sev.

"Add secondary wands to the list. Potion ingredients. What about new familiars?" Sev questioned.

Harry sat up. "Aside from the menagerie in Diagon Alley, is there someplace else we could go?"

"There's a small shop in Knockturn." Hermione made another few notes.

"Mom? Dad? Any suggestions?"

"I think you've got the basics at the moment. Don't overdo anything. Once you've completed everything you wanted in your special room, all three of you will have changed, Harry especially. Might be better to wait on a fully complete wardrobe and just get enough simple pieces."

Harry's head bobbed in agreement. "Makes sense to me."

The group finished up their discussion before claiming their beds.
