Chapter 1: Hiding the Truth
Harry woke feeling really good physically. He smiled weakly happy that he had actually slept through the night. He felt something crunch in his hand and remembered the letter, his smiled grew a little stronger.
Harry jumped though when his door slammed open. "Get cleaned up, the other freaks are coming for you today." Vernon growled at him not taking notice of any changes.
Harry sprang up and dashed from the room. He had learned long ago to jump when Vernon told him to. He was already in the washroom when he remembered his glasses. It was also then that he noticed he didn't need them. After relieving himself and washing his hand's, Harry looked at himself in the mirror. His eyes gleamed brightly back at him, "Wow..." He murmured as he took in the rest of his changes.
"Hurry up Boy." Vernon called from the other side of the door. "I want breakfast on the table within the hour."
"Yes Sir." Harry answered jumping into the shower quickly. It was at that point he noticed his loss of height. As he was washing his hair he thought about the letter.
It was starting to sink in now the importance of the letter. His mother said the only person that knew was dead, so that was obviously his father. That also meant even though Lily was bonded, she still kept her heritage hidden. He frowned as he thought about it, getting rinsed off. He checked the clock as he quickly toweled dry. He hurriedly got dressed, his clothes were even more baggy than normal which may work to his advantage.
He got the bacon started and the water for tea, before checking the time once more. Within a few minutes he had scrambled eggs and toast on the go too. Dudley was the first to toddle in. "Happy birthday, Harry." He greeted Harry quietly. After the dementors attack last summer he wasn't so much of a bully, in private anyway.
"Thanks Dudley." Harry answered him with a smile. "It won't be long for breakfast."
"Harry you eat mine, I'm not hungry." Dudley said. "It's the least I can do." He was worried because he knew how hard Vernon was being on Harry. "I need to loss the weight, you can certainly use it."
"No Uncle Vernon will get mad if you don't eat. I'll be fine." Harry answered as he plated the eggs. Toast already buttered and on the table. "Besides, if I eat now I won't have room for the feast I know Mrs. Weasley has made."
Dudley nodded, "Fine." He sighed but grabbed the milk and orange juice from the fridge for on the table, before he took his seat. He watched Harry as he finished up breakfast. He was starting to notice little changes in Harry.
Petunia was next to come in, "Harry, you eat today." She said softly not really looking at him. She was grateful he had saved Dudley from the dementors the previous summer but Vernon wasn't far behind her and he hadn't changed any.
Harry nodded, "I will, but not much." He wasn't sure if his stomach could handle much.
Harry just got the last of the stuff on the table as Vernon came in. "Boy you will meet them at the door. I will not have those freaks in my house." He growled as he sat. "One is bad enough."
"Yes Uncle." Harry answered as they tucked in to eat. The rest of the meal was silent. Harry cleared away his own plate and cup after his tiny meal of two strips of bacon, a spoonful of eggs and half a slice of toast. "Uncle can I pack now?" He asked timidly.
Vernon grunted but tossed a key at him from his pocket. Harry grabbed it and dashed from the room to his cupboard. He checked the time again as he went.
Retrieving his trunk and broom he placed them by the door. Dashing up to his room he stuffed his glasses on and grabbed his few things from under the floor boards. As a last though he grabbed Hedwig's cage, now he hoped she wasn't to mad at him. It was for her safety that he sent her away.
Harry sat on his trunk by the door. He had no idea how he was going to hide his changes. Hermione and Mrs. Weasley were sure to notice, and Hermione would ask questions. He jumped when the doorbell rang.
Pulling the door open Harry smiled at the Grangers. "Thanks for coming." He nodded to Hermione's parents.
"It's no trouble." Mrs. Granger replied. "Hermione is already at Ronald's"
Harry nodded again, "My stuff is all here and I'm ready to go."
Mr. Granger came inside and took Harry's trunk. "You don't have much son."
Harry smiled weakly, "I know." He answered, before they loaded the car up.

Harry was still worrying about his inheritance when they arrived at the Burrow. He carefully got out of the car not even noticing the natural glamor that was covering him. He did however notice when Hermione hugged him tightly.
"Harry! Are you alright? You sent all our letters back. We were so worried." Hermione rambled.
"'Mione, Let him breathe." Ron said pulled her off Harry. "Good to see you mate."
Harry nodded his thanks to Ron, "I'm fine 'Mione. Uncle Vernon sent the owls back, I didn't get to see them." He answered with a convincing lie. Vernon had actually sent them back previous years but Harry was doing it this year.
"He locked you in again?" Hermione asked.
"No he just cut me off from the magical world." Harry answered his nerves were starting to bother him. "Can we go inside?"
"Yeah Mate." Ron smirked taking Harry's broom. "Hedwig will finally calm down."
"She is here?" Harry asked brightening at the news. He wasn't sure she had really come here because she was so angry with him when he sent her away.
"Yeah, seemed pretty up set when she got here." Ron answered as they entered the house.
Harry frowned looking down at his feet. "I had to send her away." He murmured softly.
"She'll understand Harry." Hermione piped up bringing attention to the three of them. It was the twins who noticed him first, and pounced on him.
"HARRY!" They shouted in unison before pulling away. "We have some new products we want to show you."
"Oh no you don't." Molly yelled at them. "Bad enough the two of you have dropped out of school. You will not pull Harry into your skims."
"But Mum! We have a successful business." They argues with her.
Harry shrunk a little at all the attention he was getting. He never liked it before and now he had something to hide he really didn't like it. He managed to slip away while they were fighting and made a break for the washroom. He locked the door behind him with sigh of relief that no one had followed him.
After removing his glasses Harry splashed cold water in his face. Looking into the mirror he sighed seeing the same reflection he woke up to. He dried his face, replaced his glasses and took another look in the mirror. Harry gasped seeing his old reflection looking back at him. Taking his glasses off again he grinned at himself. He felt so much better now that he knew about this. He felt the tension drain away from him as he put his glasses back in place and left the bathroom. His glasses seemed to be acting like a locking glamor charm, with them being the key.
Ron looked over at Harry as he came back into the room. Harry slipped into a chair looking around the room. He smiled when he saw that nothing had really changed about the place.
"Come Harry dear, dinner is just finishing up." Molly piped calling the argument to a close and signaling for everyone to gather in the kitchen. She had made all the things Harry loved too.
The meal was ate with all the usual ruckus and noise of a normal Weasley meal. It had the added cheer of a birthday cake and presents though. They all enjoyed a friendly Quidditch match after that.
That night Harry was exhausted when he laid down. He pulled the crumpled letter from his shirt pocket. He smiled as he read the last paragraph while listened to Ron snoring loudly. Harry carefully folded the letter back up and crawled into bed.

It had been a very hectic couple of weeks at the Burrow. Harry was feeling a lot better with his friends around him now. He even managed to get Hermione to help him catch up with the summer home work. He was just getting out of bed when Ron burst back into the room. "Harry, get up!" We're going to Diagon Ally today for our..." Ron broke off staring at Harry, who hadn't yet put his glasses on.
Harry was wide eyed as he stared back at Ron. He hadn't warn a night shirt to bed that night and was dressed only in a pair of boxers. He snapped out of it and flicked his wrist causing the door to slam and lock shut while he jammed his glasses on with the other hand. "Ron..."
"Bloody Hell!" Ron exclaimed backing into the now closed door. "What have you done with Harry?" He protested shakily.
Harry blinked in confusion now. "I haven't done anything with myself, Ron."
"I don't know who you are but you are not Harry." Ron bleated trying to open the door.
"Ron no, I can prove it." Harry got the letter from under his pillow. "Look, it's from my mum."
Ron looked at the blank parchment then at Harry. "There is nothing there."
Harry looked at it and saw the writing clearly. He then realized his mother didn't want anyone else reading it. "Ron you have to believe me. I'm Harry, your best friend. I know you secretly have a crush on Malfoy."
"Blarmy you really are Harry." Ron blinked back at him relaxing. "What the bloody hell happened to you?"
Harry breathed a huge sigh or relief, "You have to swear that you won't tell anyone." He looked at Rom with pleading eyes. "Please Ron it's important."
Ron nodded, "Okay Harry." He drew his wand out of his pocket. "I, Ronald Weasley, do here by swear to keep Harry Potter's inheritance a secrete" There was a flash of white light come from Ron's wand. He nodded then, "So... is it an inheritance?"
Harry nodded, "Mum wasn't muggle born, but Dad was the only person who knew." He slowly removed his glasses again. "I'm part Fire Nymph. Mum says I should have two mates."
"Harry, you are really short now." Ron stated the most obvious.
"Really, I hadn't noticed." Harry replied. "Look Ron, I need to find my mates. I'm not sure what will happen to me if someone who isn't my mate takes me."
"What about Gin?" Ron asked.
"NO, it is not anyone here." Harry pouted, "No one smells good."
Ron nodded but shrugged. "She won't be happy about that. She has had a really bad crush on you forever."
"I know, but she is as much my lil'sis as she is yours." Harry said making a face. "But I don't think I'm attracted to girls anymore."
Ron smirked at him, "You are just realizing that now?"
Harry blinked at Ron confused, "What?"
Ron laughed, "Cho Chang, really Harry. You weren't attracted to her, but she was the closest thing. You were attracted to Cedric."
Harry was flabbergasted by what Ron was suggesting. He blinked out of it, "So your okay with it?"
Ron laughed harder and pulled Harry into a hug, "I have a crush on Draco Malfoy, your rival. How could I have a problem with you being gay?"
Harry giggled at that, it made since. "Oh... your gonna love this. Draco is part Veela. Lucius is a Dominate Male Veela, and Mum says Narcissa isn't his true mate."
Ron gasped, "That means... Oh Merlin, Harry what if he has a mate?"
"What if Draco is a submissive, and you are his mate?"Harry grinned at Ron.
Ron was lost in thought at that. Something must have reminded him why he came in, because he snapped out of his thoughts just as fast. "Harry, get dressed! Hurry up, we're going for our school things."
Harry frowned, "Ron... What if I smell them?" He was a little panicky now.
"Then track them." Ron answered, "It's been three weeks Harry. You have to find them. If they are older then you they'll be looking for you."
Harry nodded slowly, "But... how do I keep this hidden?"
Ron stepped back and thought, "We'll figure it out when we find them."
There came a knock at the door and Hermione called out. "Hurry up guys. I want to get started on reading our new school books!"
"I'm getting dressed!" Harry yelled back, and started doing just that.
