Chapter Two has arrived! I have so much spare time today! I love snow! And, in this story, THERE IS NO HORCRUX.
I am rewriting this story, chapter by chapter, as I was rereading it during the summer holidays, and I think it is too rushed, and could be improved. Hope you all like it!
Harry walked over to the Head Goblin under his Cloak. The Goblin saw him, gestured to him, and then walked out the room. Harry, understanding what...He? meant, hurried after him.
On reaching the corridor the Goblin was waiting in, Harry took off his cloak, and stuffed it in his backpack.
The goblin took Harry through a maze of corridors, and after what seemed like a millennia to Harry, they reached a large door, which the goblin opened.
"My office" He said in explanation.
Harry nodded, and sat down on one of the human sized chairs in the office. The office itself was plain, with stone walls and floor, and suits of armor, and a wolf-skin rug on the floor. A roaring fire heated the room.
" Well, Mr Potter. What can we do for you?"
"I have run into a bit of bother with my 'friends'. I wish to vanish into the mass of the wizarding world, and start a fresh new life as someone else."
After a flicker of surprise, the goblin replied
" And why, would you want to change your entire life? You are the savior, no matter if you have had a little petty fight with your friends over something trivial. I have important matters to see to, not the whims of a child!"
The Goblin the started to get out of his seat, but froze at Harry's next words.
" I have been betrayed, and I wish to lead a quiet life, free from manipulations" Harry answered
After a minute of silence, the Goblin spoke once more
"You have passed the test."
"Pardon? What have I passed?" Harry was now very confused
" There is a test that was laid down by you and your Mother's ancestors to change your heritage, and that test must be passed without the recipient knowing they are being tested." The Goblin smirked in amusement, and stood, and this time did begin to leave the room.
Oh. Oops? Either way, at least I get to change who I am... That has to be a good thing...At least, I think it is. Damm it!
Harry then realized the goblin was leaving, and once more ran after him. This time, the walk was shorter, and they arrived at a door with runes carved on it within a few minutes.
"Where are we?" Asked Harry
" This is the Heritage Room. Here, we find your heritage, and if you like it, transfer you into that heritage." The goblin explained. "This service costs 100 galleons. All vaults will be transferred into the new vault, and all heirlooms will be changed into your new family heirlooms; For example if I was to change Gryffindor into a Slytherin, his infamous sword would change, and look like a Slytherin Heirloom. Magical items change identity with their owners- Or at least the most valuable, goblin made ones do." The goblin told him as he opened the door by pressing his palm to it.
Harry was amazed Are all magical items that alive?
The pair entered the room. It was quite a small, stone room, which, like the Head Goblin's office was plain, and the floor was made of sandy stone. There, Harry was told to change into a grey robe, and when he had done so, he was painted with many different colored runes in many different languages, that he had no idea what they all meant. Then, an ancient goblin entered, and all bowed to him- even Harry, when he saw all other beings bow.
Harry was lead into a sandy circle, with a triangle in it. A cut was made in his finger, and he watched as a droplet of his own blood hit the sand. And then, the scroll on the wall began to write...
This child is of the Potter Clan. If he so wishes, there is another heritage available to him through his Mother- she was from a long line of squibs. This heritage is the Evanclear heritage.
The priest then stepped forward, and spoke.
" Do you wish to become an Evanclear in everything bar birth?"
Harry replied " I do"
The priest then smiled, and said " So be it."
The entire room began to chant. What are they saying?
" Evanclear maiorum sanguine tuo da puris semine. Integer ligula ipsum, sed in anima, quae manent intacta. Hoc petimus in nomine Iuno regina potens Scorpiarius.
Harry then felt the weirdest feeling spread over him, like his soul was being swapped. Then, after a bright light, he opened his eyes. I did not even notice i'd shut them! He thought
Then, he realised, he was in a new white room, on a bed. A goblin ran over, and grinned at him, and held out a mirror. Harry looked at it, and cried out in shock.
OH MY DAYS! He thought in terror. I look like a stranger!
And so he did. Instead of the now famous green eyes, scar and black hair, all in a scrawny body, a new person looked back at him in the mirror.
He now had longer, floppy, incredibly pale and luminous white-blonde hair. According to his helping goblin, this was a trait all and only Evanclear family members had. So, it was what would get him recognised. His eyes were a deep, timeless blue, and he was tall, thin and pale. His forehead was now untouched, and there was no sign of the scar that had given him so much pain. In other words, looked pretty not like Harry Potter. Which is how I want it He thought.
Now, he had to walk back to the goblins office, where he was told to enter. There, his guide was waiting. He gave Harry a list of trans-firmation papers, and bade him well. Just as he was about to leave, he was called back.
" Are you aware that you have a new name?" The goblin ( later to be found to be called Witschlak)
" Err, no" Was all Harry could reply
" Well, your last name is obviously Evanclear, but as to your first name, well, most respectable purebloods- which is what you are now- would never call one of their offspring that even in their NIGHTMARES! So, please pick a suitable name, so you will have your chance at a peaceful, fresh new start at life." The goblin grinned at him in amusement.
Okay, this is now really odd. I have to become a new person completley. Right. That's what I planned to do when I woke up this morning.
"Erm... what about Azymus?" Harry thought that the name that the greatest potions master ever was called would be a cool name. Give me something to live up to as well.
" The latin for 'pure'. A most austere choice. Goodbye, Mr Evanclear. I shall arrange for the signet ring to be availiable at your vault. Please go down and collect it from Vault 226. Take any money that is there, as it is all yours. And remember, your heritage is not light anymore. You chose if it's light or dark. "
Harry/Azymus stumbled out of the maze of corridors, wishing he had a map. He was whisked off before he could catch his breath. Now, rocketing through the tunnels in a Cart, Azymus/Harry thought about what he was going to do. Where am I going to go? Aha! Remember what the goblin said! I can be light or dark. So, why don't I go and live down Knockturn! I can owl McGonogall and say i'm Azymus Evanclear, and I wish to enroll in Hogwarts as a transfer! I'll be a perfectly hidden person, and i'll be able to chose whatever heritage I like! That solution seemed the best idea to Harry as he stepped out of his cart. He entered his vault, and instantly saw a ring on a stand. Crossing the room to see his new family ring, he picked it up, and looked at it.
It was a beautiful ring. Enlaid with opals around the stamp, it was a amazing piece. The actual stamp was of a Dolphin swimming. It was wonderful.
Azymus/Harry picked up a set of Ritual knives, and a pendant that looked like opal.
After a vomit enducing ride back to the surface, Azymus/Harry stopped at the portable counter.
" Do you have anything that lets me carry around limitless amounts of money?"
" Yes. For high profile bankers like yourself, they are free. Here you are. A money port. You think how much money you want, and then pull it out."
"Thank you muchly" He said.
Now, Azymus Evanclear would enter the real world. Not just as a shadow of his ancestors.
I will be great. If it takes me to the end of the earth, I will be great.
Hope you enjoyed that. Now Harry is called Azymus, unless treferred to in a flashback or by another party/ies. Enjoy!
