Let's get this over with
Chapter 13
Harry watched as his parents shuffle uncomfortably across him, currently he was sitting cross-legged on an armchair before them as they say on the couch, Petunia sent Dudley to his room giving the pig cookies as a bribe. Sirius was just as uncomfortable though he hid it well but the twitchy tapping of his finger on his lap said otherwise, sipping his tea that he prepared beforehand calmly he watch as his parents blink at the tea he had prepared while Sirius looked like he was in heaven just smelling his tea, hiding a smirk in the rim of the cup he calmly set his tea cup down and poured another cup for himself.
Breathing through his nose he inhaled deeply and exhaled "So let me get this straight" he said dully "You expect me to believe you both (pointing at Lily and James) are my parents that aren't dead and he (pointing at Sirius) is my godfather and that magic is real and I'm a famous kid called the 'Boy-Who-Lived' because I survived an impossible death curse that no one survives from and I defeated the most powerful Dark Lord in this and last few generations when I was a 1 year old baby" he finished with his eyebrow raised, Sirius shifted "Well, when you put it that way.." he grunted when Lily elbowed his side.
Lily sighed, this was not going according to Albus's plans, before she can say something Harry continued "Okay, I believe you" blinking the three adults gaped at him and before they could say anything Harry continued "I've already known about the existence about the Magical World, imagine my surprise when I entered the alley and read the paper, I see the smiling faces of my supposedly dead parents and find out about my fame" they flinched at his tone and his words, Harry's voice stayed emotionless but his hair shadowed his eye "Yes I'll be attending Hogwarts" they perked up and smiled "but" it fell "don't expect me to warm up to you just because you came to me and told me about this. I despise people abandoning their friends and family for some stupid reason like 'it was for the greater good' 'it's for his safety'" he quoted "I think it's bullshit"
Lily gasped and scolded him without thinking "Harry, language!" but immediately flinched away from the hard gaze that zoned in on her "Don't you dare scold me like you know me, you may be my mother in blood but you are nothing else than a stranger to me. A stranger that I don't like" he seethed making her eyes water and when James was about to reprimand him he got the same hard gaze from his son "Same goes to you James Potter as well as to you Sirius Black" he told them with a steel tone.
Sipping his tea as he relished at the silence before setting down his cup and gathering the cups to the tray and walking to the kitchen where Petunia cooked for her family, ignoring her and pretending to put it in the sink when he really stored them to his inventory he turned back. Turning to the door and looked back to see the three adults looking at him strangely and with hurt "Well? Shall we go to the Leaky Cauldron?" he said more than ask and walked out the door, hurriedly the adults followed him out and they tread in silence.
Carl fiddled with his soup as he waited, Gred and Forge had went ahead since their family had arrived early and they wanted to go get some more ingredients, they only went at his insistence if not they would be hanging around him discussing new pranks and helping him 'calm down'. Looking around he waited for his parents to come with his little brother in tow, he didn't like his parents, not when they gave away his little brother at some old mans command, he didn't say it out loud though it would've caused problems and prevent him from seeing his brother sooner.
Before the 3rd year could think of anymore he heard his name being called out by his mother's voice "Carl! Over here" she called out as he looked at her though he ignored her and zeroed in to the feminine looking guy beside her, was that...? Yes it was, no matter what he would recognize his little brother (except when Harry used his Metamorphagus) he looked cute.
He looked petite to him, he had long black hair not the Potter hair he and his father had, his face was feminine like his figure but he felt anger building inside him as he saw the bandaged left eye on his little brother's face. Standing quickly he walked towards the group, closing in to Harry, he took in the confusion and curiosity showing in Harry's right eye "Harry?" he said softly, Harry raised an eyebrow "Yes? Who are you?" he questioned innocently though that question pierced his heart, glancing at his parents sharply he turned back to Harry "Well um... I'm you're big brother" he said quietly enough for only Harry to hear.
Harry's eyes widened and for once he let emotion take his face, looking at James and Lily accusingly making them sheepish before turning to his brother taking in his appearance.
His brother had Lily's red hair and James's hazel eyes though they were in an entirely shades different apart, he was well built like a swimmer so he did Quidditch from his observations and he wore a robe with red and gold colors with the Potter crest sewed obviously in the fabric.
Harry blinked and his eyes softened a bit "I see... I'm Harry and this is Hedwig" he said as he introduced the puffball hiding in his hair, the adults blinked and wondered how they missed the white ball of fluff hiding quite obviously in the contrasting black hair. Carl blinked at the white mass of fluff and smiled at the little owlet, crouching to Hedwig's level and leaning in forgetting about his brother for a bit, who in turn raised an eyebrow and stayed silent, Hedwig looked curiously as Carl said gently "Hello Hedwig" he greeted, Carl always had a soft spot for animals especially small ones.
Hedwig chirped and bobbed her head before flying up towards the other human, Carl leaned back and straightened as the owlet somehow was flying normally like any other owl though smaller and started to circle him as if to observe him, he felt nervous as he felt like she was judging him. Hedwig lapped the human twice before flying to his face, she chirped and nodded as if approving and flew to Carl's head ad started to re-arrange the pre-teen's hair.
Harry's eyebrows disappeared into his hair at the notion "Interesting" he murmured as he neared his older brother, damn the Potters for not telling him this, Carl blinked in confusion "It's rare for Hedwig to approve of someone without being with them for a period of time, she's basically taken you in as her nestling" he said with amusement as Carl felt a strange sense of pride at the notion and smiled softly "I'll trust Hedwig's instincts, just don't abuse this notion" Harry said quietly when he was close enough to Carl's ear.
Carl shivered at the underlying threat and nodded awkwardly, James cleared his throat and both siblings turned to their sire in questioned "W-Well, I think it's time to head to Gringotts to get some money for your supplies" he declared awkwardly, Harry nodded mutely and looked at Hedwig who looked satisfied at the state of Carl's hair and flew back to her human and trilled in satisfaction.
The trip to the bank was awkward as the adults tried to coax Harry into a conversation with the other ignoring their attempts upsetting them as he preferred to listen to Carl's nervous babble about Hogwarts and occasionally speaking making his older brother lose his nervousness bit by bit upsetting the three further.
Carl was happy as he talked to his little brother, well him doing much of the talking with Harry commenting on occasion but was gradually talking more and more. He was waiting for this moment for most life ever since he found out about his brother, he didn't care about his brother's fame he just wanted his little brother back and finally he had him back, and he would be damned if he would let anyone take him away from him again, Carl thought darkly before it was pushed away as dad declared they were there.
Harry didn't know on what to think about his older brother, he wasn't arrogant by the fact his little brother was the Boy-Who-Lived in fact he was modest and was quite happy he was back not to mention the fact Hedwig approved of him. He decided he would wait before he would decide if he didn't like him or not.
Looking at the marble building he was impressed by the architecture, he blames Annabeth for making slightly interested in architecture, as he entered he notes the little poem of warning at the entrance.
Enter stranger, but take heed
For what awaits the sin of greed,
For those who take, but do not earn
Must pay most dearly in their turn,
SO if you seek beneath our floors,
A treasure that was never yours,
Thief, you have been warned, beware
Of finding more than treasure there.
Pondering at the thought he heard Lily tell him "Those who tried to steal from Gringotts always failed, you'd be mad in trying to rob this bank" he hummed 'Either the ones that tried to rob this place were incompetent and lack imagination or this place is that good... No doubt Byakuran would try to steal from this place just to prove them wrong and he would without a doubt drag me into it...' he thought dryly before he continued with the group.
Harry glanced around the bank and watches as little human-like creatures worked around, goblins his mind supplied from his brother's babble, from mythical lore and from what the game's free information told him when he looked around a few weeks ago, these goblins were a warrior race that loved gold and battles, they were a race whose respect you have to earn by either defeating them in battle, save one of their own, and many other things, and he would earn their respect one way or another.
James gave the goblin at the desk the key to the Potter Vaults "We're here to withdraw from the Potter Vaults, and Dumbledore wants you-know-what from you-know-where" he said quietly though not quietly enough as Harry heard it with his enhanced hearing, mentally raising an eyebrow he took note of it for later.
The goblin sneered at James before barking out "Griphook!" and a moment later another goblin approached them "This way" he said dully as James retrieved both vault key, before he left Harry looked at the goblin, it sneered at him, he stared at it and shifted his eye while re-equipping his eye bandage revealing left eye that was glowing blue while his right eye's pupils shifted through colors and he leveled his killing intent at the goblin before retracting it and going back to normal.
The goblin was shaken up, he sent it a soft smile and steeled his face before quickly following his family as his brother called out to him. Hookfang let out a shaken breath as the human child left, those eyes and that intent... He would need to tell the chief about him, he was different than other wizards.
Harry smirked internally, he'd earn the respect soon enough.
Harry resisted letting out a thrilling smile as the cart went faster from falling at a height, he glanced and saw Lily clutching James like a lifeline, James, Sirius and Carl all looked excited, he was smirking when they arrived at the Potter vaults. Griphook grasp the lantern and exited the cart, walking until he was in front a golden looking gate-like door, he turned to them looking expectantly at James "Key" he demanded more than asked, James fished out the key and gave it to the goblin.
He turned back to the vault door and moved aside a bump that was sticking out of the vault revealing a lock, inserting the key and turning it clockwise 3 times before standing back as the door groaned and opened inwards. Harry heard a faint voice in the back of his mind
"Welcome those of Potter Blood"
He blinked and heard James saying "Remember those words Harry, only those of the Potterline can hear them" he said proudly as he entered the vault, Harry rolled his eyes before entering as well, looking around he was impressed at the amount of gold there were but he's seen more gold in one of the dungeons he had gone to. James grinned and scooped a bunch of galleons, sickles and knuts using a pouch he had in his pocket, Carl doing the same but using a different kind of pouch, Harry knelt hiding his hand and acting as if he did the same but just touched the gold, silver and bronze coins and felt it disappear into his gaming wallet.
Nodding in satisfaction at his added fortune, he could buy the supplies with his own money but eh, when they offered the money he'll take it and add into his fortune.
Leaving the vault he ignored the quiet complaint from the red haired woman who was his mother and off they went to next vault to apparently pick something up, standing before the silver intricate vault door Griphook used his nails as they were the key to the vault, watching the interlocking locks unlock he was in slight awe. As it opened James walked in with stride and Harry peeked in seeing only on thing inside besides his sire, it was a column that held a small wrapped package, humming he turned away as James came back.
He would pickpocket it later as James kept it in his back pocket, honestly how gullible were they?
Harry's eyes twitched as he looked around the apothecary, the scent of various ingredients hitting his heightened senses full blast making him cover his nose, he almost regretted in taking in the Anima Potion last year, it would modify his senses to an animals and would complement his animal related abilities, though he can control them as he lowered his sense of smell, his sense of hearing was already low since it was already too loud for him.
"You need a pewter cauldron" Carl informed as he gathered the needed ingredients for his potions class, his least favorite class ever.
Carl watched in dismay as his little brother zoom around the store grabbing books of his interest, it was now obvious that he would not be a Gryffindor since he was stacking books onto the basket.
"... Harry is definitely a Ravenclaw" Sirius said dryly, disappointed that his godson wouldn't be in Gryffindor, James who felt the same with Sirius nodded in dismay.
"It's time to get Harry's wand" James declared "But what about his robes?" Lily asked "He'll get them later after his wand" he waved off.
Entering the shop Harry looked around warily, this feeling was the same feeling he had when he entered a hard dungeon. James, Lily and Sirius were not with them as they said they needed to do something, luckily Harry had pickpocketed James's pockets for the package and it was now in his inventory.
Carl was behind him just as wary, he never liked the place. Harry tensed and whipped around summoning his staff accidentally as he felt something creep up behind him, Carl blinked as he suddenly saw the staff appearing in his brothers hands.
Ollivander never flinched and looked at the staff with interest "Interesting..." he murmured before turning to Carl "Ah Mr. Potter, 5 inches and wood from an old oak tree with the core of a Chinese fireball, perfect for Defense and Charms" he said as he glided behind his desk to fetch something before returning to Harry woh still had his staff in hand looking at the old man warily.
"Which is your dominant arm then Mr. Potter?" he asked Harry, he blinked before hesitantly repying "I'm ambidextrous" Carl blinked at this new information. Nodding, Ollivander grabbed a box before getting the wand and pushing it to Harry's hand "Now... Give it a wave!" he said happily, Harry stared at it before waving it and jumped when the wood around him spiked upwards making him jump away "No, definitely not" he commented happily as he snatched the wand away and waving his own to fix the floor.
As time flew by the pile of wands the happier was Ollivander was as he shoved wand after wand, damaging the store more and more, Carl took to hiding behind the counter when Harry let out a torrent of fire from the wand.
This would take a while.
A/N: I'm done for now, I'm tired as fuck so I'll just leave this here and I'm having a bad headache so sorry about the content. I got nothing else to say but that the poll should be out for the slash or not so yeah! Go vote for Harry's relationship goals, bye.
For once, Nemo didn't eat your sandwich.
