Gone:
The moment Hestia Jones and Dedilus Diggle took the Dursley's away, Harry began to pack the few items he wanted to keep with him. He put them all in the bag he got from the trunk shop. It had an undetectable expansion charm along with a feather light charm on it. Harry had snuck away a few times from Privet drive, to visit his vault in Gringotts and to do some shopping. He had been working on these plans from the moment he found out that Dumbledore kept the information about the prophecy from him, which got Sirius killed. Harry made sure no one picked up on what he was doing or planning. Now was the time to put his plans into action.
Mad-eye Moody, Remus Lupin, Nymphadora Lupin, Kingsley Shacklebolt, Mundungus Fletcher, Rubeus Hagrid, Fleur Delacour, Hermione Granger, Arthur, Bill, Ron, Fred and George Weasley arrived at number four Privet drive to pick up Harry Potter.
They knocked but after a minute and no one answered Mad-eye unlocked the door. They found the house empty, except for a single piece of parchment sitting in the middle of the living room floor.
"Ron and Hermione, disappointed again by the pair of you. I knew you wouldn't turn up, you've turned your back on me many times so I knew there was no use counting on you again. So many times I've been left to deal with all the shit myself and the only person who did try to help, ended up dead. He didn't listen to the old man when he told all of you not to write, he always wrote, told me what was going on and always asked if I was okay. Well, his gone, I have no one left and as far as I'm concerned, there is no one worth fighting for. Well, I've had enough of this world, it's not worth the pain and suffering so I decided it was time to go explore my muggle roots.
"Many will say they supported me, like the two of you, McGonagall, Lupin, Dumbledore. None of you did, none of you ever really thought of what I wanted or ask what I wanted, you just did what the crazy old man wanted. Well, now I do what I want and it's to leave this backward world. I almost decided to stay and fight, but seeing how Scrimgeour acted, then seeing Umbitch sitting there at the funeral when she should have been sent to Azkaban, I realised if I did do what the old man wanted and fulfil the prophecy, then nothing would change. You would have a woman in the ministry who liked to torture kids, a minister who wants to use anyone to do his job for him because he just wants everyone to believe he's doing a good job, when his not. Then add all of you in the order who kept me prisoner inside a house where I was constantly abused. Why should I fight when they won't get off their arses and fight themselves?
"Another reason I decided to leave, well, I could kill him, I figured out how, but if I did then for all I know they would throw me in Azkaban. You see, when I realised how I could kill him, it would mean killing everyone that was marked with the dark mark and anyone that happened to be in close proximity to him. Would they let me go free for killing all those pure-bloods? No, they wouldn't. So it looks like it's up to all of you to hide away until you figure out a way to kill him. Oh by the way, the horcruxes are destroyed, did that before I left. The old man really was stupid, first he had years to find them and sat on his wrinkled old arse and did nothing, not until a few months ago. But to how I did it, it was easy and he should have realised this. All I had to do was open the connection we shared and I found out exactly what they were and where they were hidden. Now all anyone has to do is get close enough to kill him, but it won't be me."
'I knew he would be angry when we didn't turn up,' Hermione said stiffly.
'Did you actually say you would be here?' Remus asked.
'Yes, right after Dumbledore's funeral we said we would stay here with him to work on our plans. But mum refused to let us leave, we couldn't even send an owl to tell Harry.'
'And you didn't think to sneak away to the Lovegood's to send a letter. What about you Hermione, you can legally apparate, did you think of apparating here to explain?' Tonks asked angrily.
'He's right about what he wrote though. If he did kill you-know-who and it killed people like Malfoy, they would want him kissed. They wouldn't let him get away with that, especially with people like Umbridge who is still at the ministry. Harry's right, she should be in Azkaban and Scrimgeour has her working for him along with Fudge,' Remus said.
'There's no use arguing what's right or not, there is no use fighting amongst ourselves. Let's just head to the Burrow and hope this mistake by not only Weasley and Granger but Molly and Albus as well doesn't cause us to lose the war,' Mad-eye growled as he limped away with the others following.
Just as the group left Surrey, the goblins who had hidden, watching for their arrival, disappeared. They entered the ritual room where they activated the runes that was connected to Harry Potter right as it began to glow, all debts owed to the Blacks and Potters were now due, in full and with full interest. If the debts were not paid by the end of the day, all vaults would be confiscated by the goblins. As for the money in the vaults, the goblins would receive half and the rest would go to Harry Potter and the new vaults he had set up in other countries. But there were also some life debts owed to Harry, through the Potter's and the Blacks. Severus Snape owed James Potter which passed on to Harry, but there were others that had been passed through the family. Many death eaters or dark wizards were about to lose their lives. The smirks on the goblins faces told the truth. They knew all these people would lose everything since they would not be notified that everything they owe to the Potters and Blacks was now due. The ones that owed a life debt would have all their assets also transferred to Harry Potter before their life would end. The goblins would get a big percentage by the end of the day.
It meant that most dark wizards who got their financial start by loans from the Black family would end up destitute by the end of the day. These loans began hundreds of years before, most paid from the interest they received from their many businesses. What many of those families never realised that every sixth months the interest would be called due, yet none of them paid. The Blacks at the time did not worry about it as they knew it could come in handy if ever they were in any type of trouble. Whoever was head of the family at the time knew he or she could call on those family to aide whichever Black needed it. There were some who didn't even know they owed the Black family, but they were about to find out. By the time they did find out, it would be too late.
The goblins grinned viciously at the thought of how many death eaters would die the following day when Lord Voldemort realised he had lost all his financial support. He could not take over the ministry, let alone the world without money. Many would die by his hand but many would die due to life debts that were owed to the head of the Black family and head of the Potter family. It wasn't just death eaters, there were many old families, dark families that also owed the Potters or Blacks, mainly the Blacks and many of those worked in the ministry.
The goblins put their idea to Harry Potter when he came in to take money from his vault. Once Harry knew he would be sending the English magical world bankrupt, he instantly helped the goblins with their plans. He also liked the fact that it would mean the death of many dark wizards and witches. Severus Snape owed James Potter a life debt, so he would die by the end of the day. Another was Lucius Malfoy and Narcissa Malfoy. They owed Sirius' great grandfather a life debt that Lucius' grandfather had passed on to him. Narcissa was due to her aunt when she had almost died during childbirth. Sirius' mother had been called to help her and deliver Draco. If Walburga had not been there, Narcissa would have died. They were never sure if Draco would have died so they had no idea if the life debt would be called for him.
The goblins had explained to Harry that Lord Voldemort had threatened them and their bank if they didn't turn Gringotts over to him. Now only a few light families had money left, the rest belonged to Harry and the goblins. But it was even people like the minister and many other ministry workers were related to these families, so all their money was confiscated as well. Harry liked the idea that Voldemort would end up furious which will turn his anger loose on his remaining death eaters. He knew it meant a lot of deaths, yet he didn't care. All of them would kill without remorse and without a second thought so to Harry, they deserved what was coming.
The goblins plans to evacuate their homes and the bank and head overseas to work in other banks. The goblin run banks were in every country around the world, so their lives would not change much, they would just have a lot more money.
The group who had gone to retrieve Harry entered the burrow, 'Where is Harry?'
'He left since Ron and Hermione didn't keep their promise of staying with him. So it looks like we're on our own with no chosen one,' Remus said but he threw a glare at Molly, 'I doubt I will hear from Harry but if I do I will let you know.'
'Potter found a way to kill Voldemort yet he won't since he can't trust anyone. He said if he killed Voldemort then every one with a dark mark or in close proximity will also die. He knew if all those pure bloods die they would throw him in Azkaban. I believe they would hand him over to the dementors,' Mad-eye said, 'If only Granger and Weasley kept their word then Potter might have done what he was supposed to.'
'What do you mean, supposed to?' Arthur asked.
'The prophecy. Albus told me a few years ago, either Potter kills Voldemort or Voldemort kills Potter, or he lives and we remain at war,' Mad-eye kept glaring at Molly before he stomped to the door, 'No use hanging around, I'll go help Amelia. You lot better have good wards, he will come after all of you first.'
'I'm going with you,' Tonks said as she threw a disgusted look at molly, Ron and Hermione before she hurried after Mad-eye. She found Remus waiting for them, as if he knew they would leave just as he did.
When the house was empty of the order Arthur turned to his youngest son, 'So you told Harry you would be there.'
Ron sighed, 'Dumbledore only allowed Harry to tell Hermione and me what Harry had to do, to kill him. After the funeral, we told Harry we would stay with him so we could work on the plans. He said he would explain everything when we got to Surrey.'
'Then why did you not go to Harry?' Ginny asked.
'Because mum refuse to let us go, or even write to him.'
'As far as Harry is concerned, we can't be trusted, none of us can so he left.'
'It was too dangerous. The order was already watching Harry, until he came here. I'm sure I could have talked to Harry so he knows the order would take care of this. He's only a boy,' Molly said.
'Dumbledore said it had to be Harry, even Mad-eye said it has to be Harry because of the prophecy,' Ron said.
'There is no use arguing about this, Harry left. If he is the only one who can kill you-know-who, which means we will be forever hiding or fighting for out lives. We should work on leaving the country. I will work on some plans with Bill,' Arthur said shaking his head in disappointment as he left the kitchen.
Harry had rented a house not far from the beach, it was just until he could buy a home of his own. Harry had heard much about Hawaii and decided to see if it might end up being his home which is why he rented first.
Within days of Harry leaving Great Britain, bodies of many were discovered. One Harry didn't know about was Dolores Umbridge. It seems she owed a life debt to either the Potters or the Blacks. But quarter of the people that worked for the ministry died or ended up broke. Only the goblins knew the reason for the deaths or for people ending up bankrupt but they only planned to notify Harry Potter, they would do that once they had finished evacuating their homes and Gringotts.
Over the next year, Harry made a life for himself in his new home. He finished his education then began working as a broom designer for a new company called Bolt Brooms. He finally felt that he could be normal and have the life he always dreamt of.
Harry didn't want to know what is going on in England apart from when the goblins messaged him about more money being added to his vault. He might not ever have to work, but he knew that wasn't him. He had that much money that his grandchildren would be rich. But he was able to get a job at something he knew he would be good at. He always had a natural skill at flying and he just seemed to know what was needed for a good broom, so that was going to be part of his life, his working part.
Only one time did Harry get some international newspapers for the wizarding world. He found out there was basically no wizarding community left in England. The ones who had a bit of money but no job, left the country. Some went only as far as Ireland or wales, but others moved to other countries.
At one time when Harry was reading the newspapers, he was tempted to find out who had died but decided it was his passed. He just wanted to live his life, a life he now loved in a place he finally called home.
The end:
