As I started writing this chapter I thought of several things along the way. What if Petunia shows that she has a heart instead of a cold demeanor towards her nephew. after figuring that out I wondered what would the fight between Vernon and Petunia be like if they were getting ready to leave for a memorial service. With those and may other questions I had I hope I answered in this chapter and it is a love of fun to read and not so confusing. Here is the first official chapter of The Quest Of The Potter's! Enjoy.
The Quest Of The Potter's: Chapter 1: The Betrothed Meet
(Tuesday, October 31, 2000: 8:30 PM: Goblin Nation:)
As the dead and injured were taken care of in Godric's Hollow the Goblin Nation was in a mad scramble as there were injured being attended too inside Gringotts Bank. King Taverx had the foresight to see that Voldemort and his Death-Eaters would pull an all-out attack. The first target would be the ministry and a few minutes later they would attack Gringotts Bank. That would be followed by attacks on those who defied Voldemort. It was ingenious to have attacks that hit all at once, however thanks to Regulus Black and those who treated the goblins with the respect that they deserved, King Taverx was laying in wait for the attack. The goblins held off all the Death-Eaters and now they were taking care of their injured and witches and wizards who stood with them.
King Taverx was walking the halls of Gringotts bank surveying the damage, dead and injured. He shook his head as he walked up and down the rows. He nodded to those who were sitting up wrapped in blankets being treated. The sirens sounded throughout the bank signaling that a severe injury was coming in via emergency port-key causing Taverx to look up. Five goblin guards appeared within seconds. Two of them were carrying Lady Alice Heather Longbottom, two more were carrying Lord Franklin Michael Longbottom and the last one was cradling Scion Neville Franklin Longbottom in his arms. He ran over to check on them and get a report from his guards, however several medi-goblins came rushing over and one of them spoke in gobbledygook. "Get stretchers over here stat. Lord and Lady Longbottom need attending too. They are the prince and princess's friends." Said the medi-goblin and several goblins came rushing over placing them on stretchers. The medi-goblin who spoke took baby Neville from the guard and turned around almost knocking over king Taverx. She spoke looking at her king. "Your highness, now is not the time. I have to get the Longbottom's to the medical ward and have this baby checked over. Excuse me." She said and then left.
The goblin guards who brought in the Longbottom's soon knelt down to king Taverx before one of them spoke. "Your highness, team two reporting in. The Carrows and Bellatrix Malfoy attacked the Longbottom's at 6:45 this evening. They used the Cruciatus Curse on Lord and Lady Longbottom. They were going after their heir when several aurors and goblin warriors came to their aid. They fought bravely as warriors until Lady Malfoy and the Carrows were subdued and taken to the ministry. Our warriors are doing a final sweep of Longbottom manor." He said and king Taverx nodded. He was about to reply when Lord Alexandre Daniel Delacour, and Lady Apolline Francesca Delacour along with their daughters Fleur and Gabrielle appeared. They were soon joined by Lord and Lady Chang. It didn't stop as the rest of Lilly and James's friends appeared. The last two people to arrive in Gringotts was Augusta Callidora Longbottom and Amelia Lavada Bones. Juliet Parkenson swiftly walked up to king Taverx as she spoke. "Your highness, is Lilly and James here, are they safe.." she asked, and king Taverx shook his head. He soon spoke to Lady Parkenson. "No I am afraid not Lady Parkenson. I am worried about them since they had to go to Godric's Hollow to pick up a few diaper bags for Harry and grab a few things for themselves. They should have been the first to arrive." He told her and Amelia walked up hearing the conversation. She looked at Juliet with Susan in her arms before she spoke. "I sent Sirius Black to Godric's Hollow just before my port-key activated. Voldemort and his Death-Eaters hit all of us at once, we should know something soon when Sirius shows up." She said and this didn't ease everyone's minds.
King Taverx looked at all of Lilly and James's friends speaking. "Please go to the medical ward and get checked out and have the princess's looked over. This will be a very long night and I'll inform all of you when I know anything from team 1 when they return from Godric's Hollow." He told them and with uneasiness around them all of Lilly and James's friends left with several more medi-goblins to the medical ward. Queen Alsea came running up to her husband as she was speaking in gobbledygook. "Honey, any news on our daughter, son in-law and grandson." She asked and King Taverx sighed shaking his head. He soon replied looking at his wife. "No dear, nothing yet." He told her and queen Alsea started to cry. Queen Alsea spoke into her husband's chest as king Taverx was comforting her. "We can't lose them, we just can't. They mean so much to this nation, and all the work they have done to help bridge the gap between wizard and goblin would set us back." She said as tears fell from her face with worry….
(Tuesday, October 31, 2000: 8:30 PM: Godric's Hollow:)
As king Taverx was comforting his wife at Gringotts, back in Godric's Hollow; Albus Dumbledore made his way into the cottage where James and Lilly lay dead, so he thinks anyways. He slowly climbed the stairs and the first body he came across was James. Looking down at the still body Albus Dumbledore smirked as he spoke to himself. "Pity, if only you would have just given me what I wanted James then none of this would have happened. I would have never given Peter Pettigrew the keys to your own downfall." He said and then continued into the nursery. Upon entering the destroyed room Albus spotted Lilly laying in front of Harry's crib as the young baby was crying. He didn't say a word as he shook his head before turning to look at Harry himself. A wicked smile came across his face before speaking again. "Well Harry you're the last of the Potters. You won't be that hard to deal with. My plans may be changed a bit but easy enough. I will bide my time for now." Albus said and then turned on his heels walking out the door. Once Albus left the cottage he vanished with a lite pop.
A few seconds later a giant of a man appeared with beady black eyes, a shaggy beard and he was wearing a moleskin coat. He had tears running down his face as he saw the destroyed cottage. He walked into the house and straight to the nursery. Seeing Harry the giant beamed a soft smile before scooping a crying Harry into his arms with his blanket. Turning and walking out of the destroyed cottage he saw Sirius Black come hurrying up to him. He spoke to the giant of a man. "Hagrid, what in Merlin's name are you doing here and why do you have my godson. Give him here, give me Harry. I am raising him as my own as James and Lilly's wills state." He said in a serious voice with a hint of sorrow. Sirius didn't want to show to much weakness in front of the Hogwarts games keeper but it was difficult to do. Hagrid looked at Sirius as he replied. "Sorry Sirius, Dumbledore's orders. I can't give you baby Harry. If you want him than talk with Dumbledore." He answered. Sirius pulled his wand pointing it at Hagrid speaking. "I am ordering you Hagrid, as lord Black I am taking my godson. I don't want to kill you. There has already been enough death tonight." He told him in a demanding tone. Hagrid refused by shaking his head. He looked at Harry before turning his eyes to Sirius speaking. "Harry is the last Potter alive. You wouldn't want to harm me with him in my arms Sirius. Please if you want Harry, then speak to Dumbledore. I know he'll listen to ya" said Hagrid. Sirius lowered his wand as he gave Hagrid a murderous look knowing Hagrid had a point. Harming Hagrid as lovable as he was would do more harm than good. He nodded before he replied. "I'll just do that Hagrid. But I am warning you now, this isn't over. I already lost a brother and a sister tonight and I'll be damned if I lose Harry too." He said. Sirius vanished being a very pissed off wizard heading off to find Albus Dumbledore so he could give him a piece of his mind before taking Harry….
(Tuesday, October 31, 2000: 8:40 PM: Gringotts Bank:)
Once the coast was clear the goblin guards appeared and set to work as one of them spoke to the other. "Grab prince James, I have the princess." He ordered and the second guard nodded, and within seconds they both vanished with their charges. They reappeared a second later landing on the stone floor of Gringotts bank. The first goblin cut Lilly's blouse and bra with a knife swiftly and started to do CPR while the second one was doing the same. Several Medi-goblins rushed in with carts as all eyes were on them and they didn't know what they were doing. One of the Medi-goblins saw this and spoke in gobbledygook. "Stretchers now! We can't do this here. Too many eyes." She said and both James and Lilly were placed on backboards. King Taverx and Queen Alsea came running up seeing Lilly and James. The Medi-goblin looked at her king as she placed a blanket over Lilly while speaking. "I am sorry your highness, she's gone…" The medi-goblin told them and this was one of the scenario's that the king and queen came up with if there were to many eyes inside Gringotts Bank. Queen Alsea buried her head into her husband's chest crying. The king nodded as both Lilly and James were lifted and carried deeper into the bank. King Taverx and Queen Alsea knew that this was all a part of a plan that they came up with prior to the attack from Voldemort. The king and queen left with their head bowed going deeper into Gringotts bank. However with no eyes now watching a full team of medi-goblins set to work on reviving Lilly and James….
(Tuesday, October 31, 2000: 8:40 PM: The Scottish highlands, Hogwarts Castle:)
As Lilly and James were being revived by CPR and defibrillators deep in Gringotts, Albus Dumbledore was up in the Headmaster's Office inside Hogwarts. He was writing a letter to Petunia Dursley with a smile. He soon looked up feeling the wards of Hogwarts and knew someone was coming to see him. He only had to guess who it would be and readied himself for what was to come. It wasn't more than 15 minutes when an irate Sirius Black came storming into his office speaking. "Albus Dumbledore you have no right to take my godson. As Lord Black I demand you hand over Harry Potter to me this minute. You have no parental guardianship over the boy. Lilly and James's wills have already notified who was to take care of the boy if they should fall. Your breaking Wizarding law and you know it." barked Sirius. Before anything else could be said Albus pulled his wand speaking. "Imperio…" he said as a gold mist shot from his wand and Sirius's eyes clouded over. Albus calmly got up from his desk walking over to Sirius speaking. "You will forget about Harry Potter, isn't your real target Peter Pettigrew? He was the one who led Voldemort to the Potter's. Go after him Sirius he is your real target not me." Whispered Albus and Sirius quickly left.
Albus smirked before returning back to his desk finishing his letter to Petunia Dursley. Unknown to Albus a dirty, grimy old hat that was sitting up on a shelf saw everything that happened. Normally the hat would stay quiet until the sorting of the new first years, but he needed to speak to some very specific ghosts. The Hat didn't dare say anything until the Headmaster was out of the castle. He just had to wait until then. Close to midnight Albus got up from his desk with his letter in his hand before vanishing. The old hat quickly called out to the four house ghosts. "Lady Helena, Sir Nicholas de Mimsy-Porpington, Fair Fat Friar, Dear Bloody Baron we need to talk." said the hat and the four ghosts appeared. Without giving the pleasantries the old hat spoke seriously. "Lord Hogwarts is in danger from the Headmaster. As the ghosts of Hogwarts it is your sworn duty to protect the young lord and his witches. They will arrive in a few years so you best be prepared." He said and then spoke to the portraits on the wall. "That includes you all. Lord and ladies of Hogwarts are coming and this castle is theirs, we are just mere guests. Hogwarts will not hesitate to aid her master and mistress's. Go now and spread word to the other portraits in the castle." The hat told them and then looked at Helena. He hummed for a minute before speaking. "Lady Helena please stay, I would like a word with you." The hat said and with a quiet nod the ghost of Ravenclaw tower stayed while all the ghosts and portraits set off to alert the others….
(Tuesday, October 31, 2000: 12:05 AM: Number 4 Privet Drive, Little Whinging Surry:)
On the sleepy little street in Little Whinging Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore appeared with a lite pop. To those who lived on this street didn't know of what happened this night. They didn't even know who Albus Dumbledore was or the baby that was famous. Pulling out what looked like a silver cigarette lighter from his robes, he pointed it at the nearby streetlamps. The lights went out one by one before he walked down the street. He made his way to Number 4 and saw a very stiff cat sitting on the wall. He then saw Professor Filius Flitwick appear. Albus nodded to the charms professor as the stiff cat turned into the Transfiguration professor, Minerva McGonagall. He knew that it was time to speak to the two professors about tonight but he wouldn't give anymore away then he was planning. "Ah! Professors, good evening. I am happy you both are here. I have some news from tonight's events. As sad as it is to say, Lord and Lady Potter are no longer with us. However their son, Harry Potter has survived. I have Hagrid bringing him from a safe location." He said and this shocked both professors. Minerva looked at the old wizard as she replied. "But Albus surely you don't mean here. What about Lilly and James wills. You know that Harry is supposed to go to his godparents it's the law." She said folding her arms while Filius nodded quietly. Albus looked at Minerva as his eyes twinkled. Minerva really hated when Albus made his eyes twinkled and he spoke. "Minerva, I am well aware of the law. It is in the best interest of Harry Potter's future to stay with his muggle relatives until he is ready to rejoin the magical world." He told her.
Filius Flitwick didn't like what Albus Dumbledore just said and he had to speak his mind to the old professor. "Really Albus, your breaking wizarding law and you don't give one shit. You think just because your Albus-Fucking-Dumbledore your above the law and everyone follows you blindly…" he said angerly. Filius paused from his train of thought as a roar from the night was heard. The three professors turned to the sound and out of the night sky flying towards them came a light. It was getting bigger and bigger and soon with Minerva McGonagall holding a hand to her chest along with her breath the screech of tires hit the road. Minerva saw it was Hagrid and he was climbing off a motorcycle. She looked at the giant of a man as he had one arm close to his chest as she spoke. "Hagrid, what in Merlin's great beard are you doing on that thing and where did you ever get it." she asked. But as Hagrid was about to explain Dumbledore walked up speaking. "Ah Hagrid, I presume there was no trouble." He asked kindly making both professor McGonagall and Flitwick cringe. Hagrid walked over to Albus shaking his head as he replied. "No professor, the babe fell asleep as we were flying over Bristol." He answered as Albus took Harry in his arms. Filius was incensed causing him to speak. "Hagrid how could you be flying over Bristol on that thing with a baby. You could have killed the child." He scolded making the giant of a man bow his head.
Minerva looked at the sleeping Harry in Dumbledore's arms as she spoke. "Albus the boy has been hurt. He needs a healer, and you can't really be seriously considering leaving him here in the cold wet night, and with these muggles. I mean just earlier I saw their lump of a son bite his own mother just because he didn't get any sweets. The father looks like a walrus and just laughed about it. What life would young Harry lead if he stays here. He'll be the most famous wizard in our world, Harry can't stay here Albus." She protested and Albus didn't care to hear what the transfiguration professor said. He looked at Minerva as he replied. "That's the point Minerva, it's better to have the boy growing up away from the fame. These muggles are the only family Harry has left and I won't hear any more complaints." Said Albus and Filius looked angrier then a mother dragon speaking. "Albus you have no right to place the boy here and even if you did, how the fuck do you know that Harry will be loved like his parents once loved him. How will you explain to these muggles he is a wizard." Filius said and Albus's eyes glared at his Charms professor. "Enough Filius, you work for me and don't forget it. I have written the Dursley's a letter explaining everything." He said. Filius looked at Minerva as he spoke. "Come Minnie, I guess our concerns and fears won't be listened too. We'll just have to find someone who will listen; And by the way Albus, I don't work for an ass like you. I work for Hogwarts, and mark my words, You will have a shit ton of problems come your way and none of the staff will help you if you do this." He said as Minerva walked past Dumbledore giving him dead cold eyes not saying a word.
Just before Filius and Minerva vanished the transfiguration professor looked to Hagrid speaking. "Be careful Hagrid that you don't get pulled down with Albus when this comes to light. Best choose what side your on now before it is too late… Good night!" she said angerly and then vanished with Filius. Dumbledore reached up pinching the bridge of his nose as he spoke. "For fuck sakes, I'll have to deal with them when I return to Hogwarts." he said to himself and then looked to Hagrid before speaking again. "Hagrid, it's time to go. Why don't you head to the Leaky for a few drinks. Tonight is a night of sorrow and celebration." He said and Hagrid had to agree. He now really needed a drink after what he was a witness too. This would also give him some time to think over what was right. Unknown to Albus Dumbledore as he was laying Harry down on the step of the Dursley's home several goblin guards were signaling back to Gringotts. Albus tucked the letter that he wrote inside the blanket that Harry was wrapped in. He took one last look at the sleeping baby speaking. "Humph, good luck Harry Potter. You'll be mine to control very soon." He said and then pulled out his silver cigarette lighter making all the streetlamps come back to life before vanishing. Once Albus Dumbledore had gone and the coast was clear the goblins who were watching the Dursley's home moved in as the field commander was speaking quietly in gobbledygook. "You two secure the perimeter, you come with me. we'll check on the prince and keep him safe and warm until our king sends someone to pick up prince Harry." The goblin ordered, and without questioning his command they did what they were told. The field commander looked at Harry before waving his hand over him and the cut he had on his forehead. His hand clinched into a fist as he growled…
(Tuesday, October 31, 2000: 7:05 AM: Number 4 Privet Drive, Little Whinging Surry:)
The goblin guards watched over Harry throughout the rest of the night keeping him safe and warm. Petunia woke that morning and had a cup of tea before starting to make breakfast for her loving husband and her little Diddydums; all the while not knowing that Harry Potter was laying on her doorstep. Her world was just like how she wanted, completely normal. As she was making eggs for her Vernon she hummed a happy tune to herself, all the while several goblin guards where filling in who their king has sent to speak with the Dursley's and pick up Harry. Vernon came down the stairs around 7:30 dressed in his finest suit since he was a director at Grunnings Drills. He looked at Petunia knowing that the company was her adopted fathers company. He shook his massive head thinking of all the people he would yell at, make several important phone calls, shake hands with some very important people during lunch and then head upstairs to sit in a meeting with the board of directors. He felt that he was going to get a premotion and he rightly deserved it in his opinion. Petunia set a plate of eggs, toast, bacon and a cup of coffee in front of her big strong man before leaving to go get her son from his crib.
Petunia set her Diddydums into his highchair before heading to the front door to get the milk and morning paper. She knew that her Vernon always liked to read the morning paper with his breakfast and complain about what it said and today was no different for Petunia, at least that's what she thought. Petunia opened her front door and let out a shrill shriek seeing a baby laying on her doorstep. She looked to her left and then to her right seeing that none of her neighbors had even seen the baby. She knew that they would gossip if the baby was to be seen and she was the gossip queen of the neighborhood. She looked back down at the baby who was now awake and saw a pair of bright emerald green eyes staring back at her as little hands reached up. Forgetting all about the morning paper and milk Petunia scooped up Harry into her arms quickly shutting the door before anyone could see. She called out to Vernon. "Vernon, Vernon!" she screeched from the living room where she set baby Harry on the couch for the time being.
Vernon came lumbering into the living room and replied. "Pet, what is it. you know I don't like to.." He said and then saw baby Harry laying on the couch stopping him in midsentence. Petunia looked at Vernon as she spoke kneeling down to the baby. "What are we going to do Vernon. A baby was on our doorstep." She asked. Vernon stared at Harry seeing his bright emerald green eyes before he answered keeping his dark eyes locked onto Harry. "You don't think it was from her lot, do you my pet." He asked causing Petunia to stand up. She shook her head as she replied. "If you mean my no good sister, then no. We haven't spoken since she got married to that Potter boy. I don't have family anymore and you know I gave up everything. I don't want anything to do with my sisters lot and you know it, but the baby. It has her eyes and just look at him, he even looks like his father with his black hair and nose." She answered as all the old memories of her childhood both good and bad came flooding back. She knew deep down in her heart that she still loved her sister and family, and this baby had to be her nephew. However she didn't want to say anything since it would already piss off her husband who was getting madder by the minute. Vernon had to think which for him was very hard to do since he just yelled a lot. He soon spoke looking at Petunia. "Well we're not keeping him. I don't want a freak in my house. Nephew or not that brat is not welcomed here." He told her sternly with his arms folded. Petunia quietly nodded agreeing with Vernon even though she really wanted to keep the baby and raise him with his cousin. She didn't want her Diddydums to even be around people like her sister just to keep her husband happy even though she wasn't. Vernon continued to speak as he looked at Harry. "I'll come home at lunch and take this brat straight to an orphanage or I'll find some poor sap to take him in." He gruffly said as his face was turning red with every second that passed looking at the boy.
As Petunia and Vernon were discussing their next move on what to do with Harry their doorbell rang. Both Petunia and Vernon looked towards their front door and knew they didn't have time to hide the baby. Petunia soon spoke. "Coming, coming, just a moment." She said as politely as she could while motioning to Vernon to watch Harry. She opened her front door and saw a man that was dressed in a very nice suit and stood about the same height as a teenage 14 year old child. The only thing odd about the man was he had pointed ears and his build was well toned. Next to him were four others who were a bit shorter and they were carrying swords on their hips. She looked at the man in the suit before speaking. "Yes may I help you." She asked and the man in the suit grinned showing off his pointed teeth. He nodded before giving his reply. "Yes Mrs. Dursley, I am Ragknock the director of Gringotts bank and account manager to Lord and lady Potter along with the other accounts they hold. May I and my guards come in, we have much to talk about." He requested and Petunia stepped aside not saying a word since she was shocked.
Petunia showed who she now knew as Ragknock into the living room. Vernon was cradling baby Harry into his massive fat arms and saw the well-dressed man. He nodded seeing that this person whoever he was looked very important. Ragknock was shown a seat on the couch before Petunia took her nephew from Vernon. He sat down in his normal comfortable chair before Ragknock spoke. "Mrs. Dursley, I am here on official Gringotts business. Normally I would not be doing things like this, and would be having someone from the bank do it instead. However this was more important to handle instead of a teller from the bank. I needed to do this personally as it is an order from my king and queen. That being said, let me get straight to why I am here this morning. As of Tuesday, October 31, 2000 at 7:45 PM; your sister Princess and Lady Lilly Marie Potter and her husband James had fallen in battle. They were killed by a megalomaniac named Tom Marvolo Riddle. He went by the name Voldemort. He attacked the Potter's because of a prophecy and he thought prince Harry would be his downfall. Once your sister Lilly and brother in-law James fell he turned his attention to Prince Harry attacking him. There was an explosion after Voldemort hit prince Harry with the killing curse. Who you are holding in your arms now Mrs. Dursley is the next king to our nation." He told them and then paused so what he told the Dursley's could sink in.
Petunia had to sit down as she was shocked. She looked at her nephew as tears started to fall from her face while she spoke. "I hated my sister for so many years all because she was a witch and I'm not. I can't believe she's gone and this is the only thing she has left." She said and Vernon stood up. He was going to say something, but Petunia beat him to the punch speaking first. "Vernon you didn't want me to have anything to do with my adopted sister and parents, and now look what it cost me. I can't believe I listened to you all those years ago." She barked and for once Vernon has never seen his wife angry. She looked at Ragknock continuing to speak. "Director Ragknock, what of my parents, how are they doing." She asked as tears were falling from her face, and Ragknock shook his head. He soon spoke looking at Petunia. "Unfortunately they have passed on years ago from Dragon pox. The bank and the royal family has tried to reach out to you many, many times Mrs. Dursley with no response. You did give up your titles and everything that comes with it. Once you did that, than it fell to your sister, and now it falls to your nephew Harry. I understand that Mr. Dursley don't want anything to do with magic and nor do you. I have come with an escrow contract for you to sign and then we'll be taking prince Harry back to his grandparents. He was never to be left in your care as stated in your sister and brother in-law wills. I assure you that it is a generous offer for you Mrs. Dursley." He said and Vernon looked at what he assumed to be a goblin.
He looked at the man before standing up speaking. "Where do we sign, I don't want that brat in my house." He bellowed now losing his temper. Ragknock folded his fingers together as the goblin guards growled seeing the disrespect. Ragknock held up a hand stopping the guards before looking at Vernon speaking. "Mr. Dursley, I am assuming you know nothing about goblins. Let me enlighten you on some facts. We are a proud race of warriors. We might be bankers, but nothing stops us as warriors. If we were in Gringotts your head would be mounted on my wall for the disrespect you have shown me this morning. Since we are not in Gringotts and you have no knowledge of Goblins, I will let your disrespect slide for now. But I warn you, don't do it again or you'll lose your head." He told him causing Vernon to go pale slumping back into his chair. Petunia never saw her husband look pale before and this made her smirk and it caught the attention of Ragknock.
He soon spoke in gobbledygook not looking at the guards. "Would you please escort Mr. Dursley out so I can speak with Mrs. Dursley privately." He said and the guards bowed. Two of the guards walked over and helped Vernon to stand on his feet before the four of them showed Vernon out of the living room. Ragknock then looked at Petunia speaking normally. "I apologize for speaking in my own language Mrs. Dursley. I wanted to speak with you privately and since your husband can't control his temper, I asked my guards to escort him out so we can finish our business. Now I must inform you that there was two last requests from your sister. One going to you and the other will be done in time. Your sister has requested that you be given a port-key for emergencies just in case you had a change of heart over the years. I can do this for you if you wish. Only myself, the royal family and you will know how to activate it. This port-key will take you and your son straight to my office inside Gringotts. Do you have anything I can use to do so." He asked. Petunia looked at Ragknock as she answered. "Director Ragknock I do. It's my favorite tea cup and I'll get it for you. I need to ask, when is the funeral for my sister. I know I hated her and I turned my back on my family. I still remember the lessons that Madera has taught me. Family comes first and will stand proudly with each other. She was strict and a fair teacher, but since I turned my back on them, all I am asking for is to be at the funeral to say my final goodbyes." She said then bowed her head continuing to speak. "It is the least I can do for my nephew. I need him to see that I do have a heart and not some bitch who don't care about her family." Said Petunia.
Ragknock stared at the woman for several minutes thinking. After what seemed like an eternity he spoke. "Mrs. Dursley please look at me so I know you will understand." He requested. When Petunia raised her head to look at Ragknock he continued to speak. "The truth of the matter is there isn't any funeral planned for the princess or the prince. However there will be a memorial service for them and those who died in Godric's hollow in a few weeks. There is cleanup to do in Godric's hollow and a statue being built by the best craftsmen the Goblin Nation has to offer. I will inform my king and queen what your intentions are to attend. However I am unsure about the response that you'll receive. If they permit your attendance then I would be honored to escort you and your son to the proceedings as my last gift to your sister and brother in-law. We should finish our finalization of the escrow contract and make that emergency port-key before I leave you in piece since you'll need time to grieve." He said and Petunia stood up headed to the kitchen before returning to Ragknock with Harry in one arm and her favorite tea cup and saucer in the other hand. She set the tea cup on the coffee-table and Ragknock set to work pulling out a sharp dagger waving it over the teacup speaking in gobbledygook. After a few minutes of work Ragknock spoke looking at Petunia. "It's finished. If you're in any danger by your husband, give this a quarter turn to the right and then back to its starting point. Then say Gringotts, Gringotts, Gringotts. It will activate and send you straight to my office. I give you this warning though Mrs. Dursley, this is not for your whim of use. This is for emergencies only and if you abuse this gift then it will be confiscated." He told her which Petunia nodded her understanding.
Ragknock once again nodded before speaking once again. "Mrs. Dursley before we get to the contract I want to personally give you my condolences for the loss of your family. As a small token of generosity from my family to you directly, I will send a goblin healer to you once a week to help you through your time of grieving since you were once a princess to the goblin nation yourself. Please understand Mrs. Dursley that a gift from any goblin is not taken to lightly, there is always a catch. If for any reason you speak to anyone about us this gift will be paid back in full by working in the goblin mines. I will have a goblin medi-witch stationed close by just in case you need someone to talk with if it is absolutely needed." He told her looking Petunia dead in her eyes. Petunia gulped and slowly nodded. Ragknock smiled a bit before he continued to speak seeing Petunia's response. "Excellent, now I will allow your husband to rejoin us to finalize the escrow contract and then we will be taking prince Harry." He said and then looked towards the kitchen. Without saying a word Vernon was escorted back by the goblin guards and he sat down in his favorite chair.
Ragknock looked at Vernon with steel in his eyes as he spoke. "Mr. Dursley, as you are unaware of the seriousness that you put yourself in from your attitude, I will let you know now. What I do for Gringotts bank is, I run the entire English branch and have the ear of my king and queen. One slip of your tongue, I promise you sir that you will not see the next sunrise." He told him causing Vernon to go pale as he looked to Petunia who was nodding seriously. He turned back to look at Ragknock and nodded before allowing him to continue to speak. "Good, now that you understand Mr. Dursley I will go over the escrow contract. Normally I would be speaking with you, but since this is a royal contract it is up to your wife alone to sign. This escrow contract is hers and whatever money she makes from it is also hers and she has full control over it. You will not get one galleon of this money and if you even dare to do anything to Mrs. Dursley to get your fat fingers on it, Gringotts bank will know about it." He said sharply. With a quiet nod from Vernon Ragknock pulled the contract from the inside jacket pocket.
Over the next three hours and several cups of tea with a few feedings throughout Ragknock went over the escrow contract with a fine-tooth comb explaining everything. Petunia looked to a now sleeping Harry before signing the contract. She knew that even though he was her adopted sister's son, Harry would be harmed from her husband in some way. Ragknock signed the contract before standing up speaking. "Mrs. Dursley, again my condolences to you. I shall take prince Harry and take my leave. I'll send word about your sister's memorial in a few weeks." He told her and then picked up Harry cradling him in his arms. Ragknock saw the pained expression on Petunia's face causing him to speak. "Mrs. Dursley, if you would please escort us out to your garden." He said and Petunia nodded before leaving her husband in the living room….
(Wednesday, November 1, 2000: 11:00 AM: The Goblin Nation, The Goblin Medical Ward:)
Ragknock appeared inside Gringotts with Harry cradled in his arms with the four goblin guards who were watching the Dursley's home. Every pair of eyes turned to see the goblin as he made his way through the sea of injured and dead. Most witches and wizards who conducted business with Gringotts on a daily basis usually saw goblins who were short just coming up to the stomach when it came to height. But the goblin that they were looking at was the size of a 14 year old child with muscle. Ragknock didn't say a word as he went deeper inside the bank and made his way to the medical ward. As soon as he was inside he spoke. "I need a medi-goblin. Baby Harry is hurt." He barked and several medi-goblins came rushing over. A medi- goblin looked at Harry as she took him into her arms and she almost dropped him do to the cut and evil magic coming from his forehead. Because of Ragknock's booming deep voice King Taverx and Queen Alsea came rushing out of one of the rooms. They both wanted to hold onto their grandson but the medi-goblin spoke looking at them. "Your highness, I am sorry but you can't see prince Harry just yet. He has a cut on his forehead that is filled with dark magic. We need to get it out of the child before you can see him." She told her king and queen. King Taverx looked at Harry before looking at the cut on his forehead. He reached up and gently ran a hand over Harry with a smile not to upset the baby. Even though he was happy to see his grandson alive, he was fuming on the inside feeling the dark magic and knowing what it was. He looked at the medi-goblin as he spoke. "Get that damn thing out of my grandson's head and place it into a container. This is the piece we need to destroy Voldemort for good. Once you heal that cut, then place him with his parents and I want round the clock guards on the entire family." He barked and the medi-goblin bowed her head before she spoke. "Yes sire, what about the princess and the prince's friends." She asked and Queen Alsea spoke. "Them too, I want guards on them since 7 of their friends have daughters and are betrothed to our grandson." She said and with another bow the medi-goblin headed off to heal Harry. Queen Alsea then turned to Ragknock speaking. "So Albus Dumbledore took my grandson to the Dursley's after all. How is Petunia and is the escrow contract signed." She asked and Ragknock nodded.
He pulled out the contract as he replied. "Mrs. Dursley was shocked hearing that Lilly and James were dead and the only thing they had was Harry. That Vernon Dursley is a piece of work though. Honestly your highness it took everything I had to just not turn the fat lump into a walrus or take his head clean off his shoulders for the disrespect. Merlin knows he already looks like a walrus and it would fit him perfectly. That's besides the point. Mrs. Dursley from what she told me, was that it was her husband who made her lose contact with her family. She did request two things even though she knows that she has no entitlement. She wants to come to princess Lilly and prince James's memorial service. The second was that if she divorced her husband that Gringotts helps to make it as smooth as possible. I did give her your gift your highness. I told her that I'll be sending her a medi-goblin once a week to help her privately in the grieving process. I told her that it was coming from me as my last gift to Princess Lilly and prince James." he reported. King Taverx nodded and then started to speak. "Good work master Ragknock. I suspect that Dumbledore will check on our grandson, and seeing that Petunia has no mental shields, he'll come to Gringotts to get answers. Have the proper paperwork ready for him. He is permanently barred from banking with us and close his vault. Aberforth is a good wizard and he should not fall because of his older brother's doing. Abe shouldn't be forced to face the sins of the family so make sure he is welcomed with open arms. As far as Petunia is concerned, I think she should be at the memorial service. It would help her to realize that her sister and brother in-law were hero's and this would also make her see how many witches and wizards along with goblins saved this world even though this isn't over. Besides that master Ragknock, have the divorce papers ready just in case Petunia decides to move forward with her plan." He said and Ragknock bowed before leaving not saying a word to go do as he was ordered.
King Taverx let out a sigh as the medi-goblin walked up speaking as she knelt down. "Your highness, prince harry has been healed. The dark magic has been removed safely. There is a side effect of the dark magic that we can't remove and it is permanent. Prince Harry will be able to speak with snakes just like his fourth cousin. The other side effect is he will remember everything that has happened last night, he is laying next to princess Lilly as we speak and is being watched over by some medi-goblins I trust." She told them and both king Taverx and Queen Alsea nodded before heading to see Lilly, James and Harry. As both the king and queen walked towards Lilly, James and Harry's room Alsea spoke not looking at her husband. "Dear, you have always been soft with wizards and witches. You're a goblin and you should be a bit more vicious. You need to bear your teeth down on your enemies and their family." She said as the reached the door where Lilly, James and Harry were laying. King Taverx glanced at his wife with a sly smile seeing she made a good point and replied accordingly. "As the muggles say, There's more than one way to skin a cat. I may be a goblin love, but if you kill them with kindness first it would be easier to rip their flesh from their bones without them knowing. Besides the Lilly, James and Harry is our family, and their friends are the only ones I like. Young Sirius Black may be a smart ass at times, but if I gave a galleon he has a good head on his shoulders. I just hope he don't do anything stupid to get himself into hot water. He does have a short fuse. Of course he takes after Lord Black in that reguard. I am just glad we didn't lose our family and not to many lives thanks to Lord Black." He told her as they walked into the room.
Queen Alsea kissed her husband on his cheek with a toothy smile before she spoke. "And that's one reason I fell in love with you, and even to this day after 300 years I am still happy that we bonded." She said causing king Taverx to look at her. He weakly smiled before he asked his wife what he was thinking. "Are you sure love, I still feel bad about what happened all those years ago." He told her and this cause Alsea to shake her head. "I know love and it wasn't your fault. Our daughter died after she was born and I couldn't get pregnant again. even if I wanted too, you know it would take my life. Why do you think we adopted Lilly and James into the family all those years ago. They are special and they filled that motherly void I had for 200 years. I would not change a thing when it comes to them. They both make me happy and I am very proud to call them my children. I am even happy being called grandma to Harry and his betrothed. Now would you stop worrying about the past, we have children to think of." She said before looking at Lilly and James who were resting comfortably as the sound of heart monitors were beeping. King Taverx agreed with a smile before walking over with his wife letting her sit down next to their children and grandson. He shook his head looking at Harry knowing it would be ten long years of work ahead of them….
(Wednesday, November 22, 2000: 7:05 AM: Number 4 Privet Drive, Little Whinging Surry:)
It's been three weeks since Petunia has spoken to Ragknock as she was getting dressed into her finest black dress she owned. Today Petunia would be seeing the goblin again after getting a message from her medi-goblin healer who was helping her through her grieving. Vernon was up early and was getting dressed in his finest suit and spoke once he was fastening his belt. "Why should we care about your sister's lot. I mean they are strange and freaks. They didn't do anything for us so why bother." He said as Petunia was sitting at her mirror putting her makeup on. She replied angerly to Vernon as she looked at the mirror. "Damn you, how fucking dare you start now Vernon. That is my sister your talking about, and I hope you know that she is a hero. She saved us all from being slaves and she left her only son. Damn you to hell, I am trying to hold myself together and you just have to open that fat mouth of yours..." She said and then burst into tears. It took several minutes before Petunia pulled herself together and then spoke looking at a shocked Vernon. "I may have hated my sister Vernon because of her magic, but all be damned if you ever say that again. I hope you are well aware of the fact you'll be meeting my adopted parents. They are the king and queen of the Goblin nation and I will not be made a fool of after I had to beg Ragknock for you to come. He don't like you and I now see why. Your there to help give me support and not any shit, but when have you done that for me anyways. You're as low as pond scum and I should have never married you. Mark my words Vernon Phillip Dursley your on thin ice. One fuck up today and I am walking out with our son…. Now if you'll excuse me, I have a son to get dressed." She said as she wiped her tears from her face smearing her makeup, and when Petunia reached her bedroom door Vernon grunted.
Petunia whipped around causing Vernon to speak looking at her. "When did you get a backbone. Your my wife and you'll do as I say." He retorted. Petunia finally had enough and marched up to Vernon slapping him hard across the face knowing what he meant without coming directly out saying it. She spoke with cold dead eyes looking at him. "Fine, if you won't be there as my support then stay here you fucking piece of shit. I am taking our son and leaving you. You won't have to deal with my backbone any longer. My sister is dead Vernon and it took me this long to see how stupid I was and how controlling you are. I swear on my sister's grave, by the time I am done with you, you'll wish you never heard of Petunia Berniece Evans and that of my family." She said and then stormed out of the bedroom slamming the door shut leaving behind a very stunned Vernon Dursley. Petunia went into Dudley's nursery and pack a diaper-bag before picking him up from his crib getting him all nice and neat through her tears. This didn't go unnoticed by Dudley making him cry. Petunia held him and sat in her rocking chair she used when she was feeding Dudley and she rocked trying to comfort her crying baby as she cried herself. "Hush Diddum's, mommy is right here." She said as tears once were again falling from her face.
Hearing the disturbance from outside Ragknock came inside and then stood at the door and cleared his throat seeing Petunia holding onto Dudley crying her eyes out. "Ahem.." Petunia looked up as her mascara was streaked down her face when she looked up. Ragknock knew that something was amiss and walked in speaking. "Mrs. Dursley…" He said, but was cut off as Petunia spoke. "Director Ragknock, please I can't… I can't do this anymore. I can't be in the same house as a man who won't support me when I need him the most. I want out and I want to leave…" she told him. Ragknock looked at Petunia with sorrow placing a hand on her shoulder while speaking. "Mrs. Dursley, I understand. The goblin nation will help in any way we can. Let's get you and your son out of this house, it looks like you'll be in danger if you stay here. I think talking with my king and queen after the service will do you some good." He told her and then slowly helped Petunia to her feet. He then grabbed Dudley's diaper-bag before walking out with Petunia into her garden…
(Wednesday, November 22, 2000: 8:00 AM: Godric's Hollow, Town Square:)
Ragknock and Petunia Dursley appeared in the middle of Godric's Hollow's town square with a baby Dudley in tow. Ragknock quietly led Petunia and her son to where the services for her sister and brother in-law was to be held. A witch walked up speaking to Petunia. "Friend or family dear." She asked and Petunia stayed quiet. Ragknock looked at Petunia before speaking to the witch. "Family, sister to princess Lilly and sister in-law to prince James." He told her and the witch bowed her head. She soon looked at Petunia before speaking again. "Oh, I am so sorry for your loss dearie. Lilly and James were very well liked and loved here in Godric's Hollow. They helped everyone out that they could." She said and then looked to Ragknock. He nodded before speaking. "Yes the Potter's were very much loved and respected. Is the king and queen here, we need to see them." He said and the witch nodded before showing them to their seats. As Petunia walked along side Ragknock carrying her son she felt all eyes boring into her making her uncomfortable. Petunia saw what looked like several important people before spotting her adopted parents walking up carrying Harry. Queen Alsea smiled giving Petunia a hug before getting to why she looked a mess. "Petunia dear, what on earth happened. You look a mess." She said. Petunia smiled weakly not wanting to say a word, but queen Alsea knew better. Seeing Jean not that far away she motioned to her to come over since she didn't have Hermione in her arms. Jean looked at Petunia as Alsea spoke. "Jean this is Petunia, Lilly's older adopted sister. She has been estranged from the family and has come to pay her respects. Would you be a dear and take your son in-law so I can have a private word with my daughter." She requested as Petunia saw that Jean was pregnant. She smiled and spoke quietly for the first time she had it out with Vernon. "How far along." She asked as Jean was about to take Harry into her arms. She smiled at Petunia before she answered. "I'm just about due. This big girl is kicking my butt. Anyway Petunia, I know you didn't see eye to eye with your sister, but I am glad you're here. Family needs to be together now more than ever." She said and then continued to speak picking up Harry from queen Alsea's arms. "Oh come here big guy. Let's go see your wife so grandma and auntie could talk." She said before walking away. Queen Alsea smiled before turning to Petunia speaking. "Come with me, let's have a talk and get to the bottom of this." She said catching Petunia off guard.
Petunia turned to the queen before speaking. "Mother, how can you be so forgiving. I turned my back on my own sister and family. You can't forget about the past." She said as they started to walk. Queen Alsea nodded and glanced up at Petunia replying. "Your correct Petunia, one should never forget the past or we all will continue to make the same mistakes. Forgiving a family member however is easy. Everyone makes mistakes child and it's in those mistakes we learn to grow. Just you being here today just shows how much you changed." She said as they stopped at Lilly and James's destroyed cottage. Petunia didn't realize where they were walking to until she looked up seeing the house. Queen Alsea continued to speak before Petunia could say a word. "This is where your sister and brother in-law fell, and where your nephew survived. I thought it would help you to see the sacrifice your family has made with the others who fell that night. It makes you realize how important family really is whether it be magical or muggle." She said and Petunia nodded. Queen Alsea leaned up on the fence before looking at Petunia speaking once again. "Alright Petunia, now spill it, what happened. What did that fat walrus of a husband do to you." she asked with her arms folded.
Petunia giggled a bit and she felt something that she has never felt for over 8 years, warmth from a loving family and the support she desperately craved. Petunia leaned up against the fence with Dudley in her arms as she replied. "Mother, Vernon and I had a fight before I came here. I know you have been keeping track of me so this shouldn't be a shocker. I have been a dutiful wife staying home while he goes to work. I have listened to his bitching and complaining, and hell I even gave him a son. Though the sex wasn't that great. When Director Ragknock came to speak with me about the escrow contract and the fact that I lost my sister I got no support. For weeks Vernon has made my life a living hell knowing I am grieving, so when he started up again this morning I had enough. I slapped him all the while laying into him. Vernon don't care about the fact that I just lost my only sister. All the fat lump cares about is how many people he can impress just so he can become the CEO of daddy's company. I swear mother I am tired of it, when will I get the love and support. If things don't change with him I'll divorce his ass, but there again I think I can't. I have Dudley to think about and no money yet. where will we go, I mean we don't have a place to live if I do leave." She said and then let out a sigh. Queen Alsea smiled looking at Petunia once she let go of her problems.
Queen Alsea knew that Petunia needed this and she thought over what her daughter said before she spoke. "Petunia now listen, you may not know this, but Vernon can never be CEO of Grunnings. Harry is the owner as stated in your parents wills. Even though you gave up everything for that walrus of a husband don't mean you're not family. I'll speak with your father and see if I can get you into an apartment where you will be manager. This should ease in helping raise Dudley and put some galleons in your pocket until the escrow account starts. If you want we can help you with the divorce if that is what you wish to pursue." She said and Petunia gave queen Alsea a hug as she replied. "Thanks mother, I just now can see how stupid I really was. Even though I am a muggle don't mean I can't forget about this world or my family." She admitted. Queen Alsea replied once their hug finished. "Everyone makes mistakes child, and I am glad you have forgiven your sister. I know where ever she is she's happy. Come we can't be late, the service will be starting soon." She said and this caused Petunia to nod before following her adopted mother. The two women walked back to where the service was at taking their seats and Queen Alsea interlaced her fingers with her husband's kissing his cheek.
King Taverx looked at Petunia and knew that after the service was over there was going to be a long talk coming. The service soon started and Petunia sat in the front row listening to many different important people along with listening to her adopted father king Taverx. A large tarp unveiled a beautiful ornate gold and silver statue that stood 20 feet tall. The minister of magic Millicent Bagnold kept looking over at Petunia which gave her the creeps. She knew that her gut feeling was to stay away from him as much as possible. Everyone soon rose as it was customary before they walked two by two giving their condolences to the royal family before laying a rose in front of the statues giving their thanks to all who gave their lives. Petunia was staring at the statue and saw her sister Lilly, brother in-law James standing in between Voldemort and Harry sitting in his crib. In front of them was smaller statues portraying the battle of Godric's Hollow. Petunia was shaken out of her staring and walked up to the statue. She looked down and saw a plaque which read:
The Battle of Godric's Hollow: This Statue is to Commemorate All Those That Have Gave Their Lives In Defence Of This Town! We Will Never Forget Their Sacrifice! Princess Lilly And Prince James Memorial.
Petunia then saw a list of over 200 names and this was too much. Petunia fell to the ground passed out causing everyone to gasp. Poppy Pomfrey was in the audience and rushed over as everyone was gathering around. As she was pushing her way through she spoke. "Move out of the way. I'm a medi-witch and give her some room." She barked and everyone backed up. Poppy pulled her wand and ran a scan on Petunia and then waved her wand levitating Petunia into the air. She didn't say a word and took her away from prying eyes. Queen Alsea followed and once they were out of eye and ear shot Poppy spoke looking at queen Alsea. "She's a muggle, what in Merlin's shaggy white beard is a muggle doing here." She asked as she folded her arms. Queen Alsea nodded as she replied. "Of course she is Madam Pomfrey. This is Petunia Dursley, Princess and Lady Lilly's sister, and my adopted daughter. She gave up everything for her husband, but when she learned of her sister's death it hit her hard. She wanted to come to pay her final respects and say goodbye. As her adopted mother I couldn't refuse seeing it would be a way for two sisters to mend a long broken fence that happened years ago." She answered and this cause Poppy to nod. She set Petunia down as she spoke. "I understand now, Lilly was really hurt by her sister and I guess this would be a way to apologize. The sight of the statue and reading the plaque was too much for Petunia's body to take. She has a few bruises from the fall but other than that a bit of rest is what her body needs." She said as the town Mayor of Godric's Hollow over heard this making him walk over to the two women.
He soon spoke looking at the two women. "Ladies I am the mayor of Godric's Hollow, Cade Raywood. I couldn't help but over hear your conversation. Godric's Hollow is a safe place where both magical and muggle live together not hiding anything from each other. We are one of the few small villages to do so. Is the young woman alright." He asked which Poppy nodded. She looked back to the wizard giving him an answer. "Yes she'll be alright. The memorial service was just a bit taxing on her body and she passed out." answered Poppy. The old wizard pulled his wand and levitated Petunia before he spoke once again. "Please follow me, There is a place for the young woman to rest and get her strength back." He told them and they walked off with Petunia floating behind them.
(Monday, December 25, 2000: 9:00 AM: Number 4 Privet Drive, Little Whinging Surry:)
Albus Dumbledore the headmaster of Hogwarts was not having a good day. It's been over a month and a half since the battle at Godric's Hollow where Princess Lilly and Prince James fell in defence of their son Harry. That's when he ordered Hagrid to take baby Harry out of Godric's Hollow as he thought it was for his Greater Good. What he never told anyone was what he really wanted was to control Harry James Potter. He knew that Harry was a powerful wizard in the Wizengamot, owner of Hogwarts and was the richest and last of the Potter's who was one of the oldest families in Britain. He wanted to place baby Harry with the only known relatives left and they hated anything to do with magic. Albus knew that with Harry being used as a house-elf, and with some good beatings he would swoop in as a grandfatherly type and manipulate the young lord. He already took care of Sirius Black sending him to Azkaban without a trial thanks to Minister of Magic Millicent Bagnold, Bartemius Crouch Sr. and Albert Runcorn. Albus Dumbledore place himself as Harry Potter's magical guardian which gave him access to Harry's trust vault, with that kind of galleons he paid off several members of the Wizengamot to sit on the Chief Warlock's seat, use all the votes that Harry had to push through his own agenda without anyone realizing it.
Albus Dumbledore was standing in Little Whinging, Surry due to the fact that none of his doodads and bobbles that was in his office were going off like they should. He pinched the bridge of his nose under his half-moon glasses not understanding why they were not working. It didn't help that Minerva McGonagall and Filius Flitwick would constantly badger him about Harry Potter almost every day. No matter what he tried to control them nothing seemed to work. Trying to read their minds using legilimency didn't even seem to work and he didn't know why. Every professor except for Severus Snape was immune to his ploys. Albus needed to get out of Hogwarts and away from the problems. He thanked Merlin that today was Christmas and all the students were out of Hogwarts back safe and sound in their warm homes with their families. This was a good chance for the old wizard to see why nothing was happening to his doodads and bobbles. Looking somewhat like an old muggle dressed in a suit and a walking cane he strode up to Number 4 Privet Drive.
He peered into the living room window and saw the place darkened. There was no Christmas lights, no Christmas tree, no presents, no children happy. There certainly was no Harry Potter. Albus knew for certain that Harry should have been here and then looked at the wards around the house. He noticed that they were not active and certainly not the blood-wards he made after sneaking a way to get Harry's blood. Albus continued to watch through the living room window scratching his head and then a light turned on. Albus assumed that it would be the kitchen. Slowly he walked up and rang the doorbell waiting for an answer. He heard a grunt and then the door opened. Albus was looking at a very disheveled and fat Vernon Dursley wearing a tank-top white tea-shirt that looked like it hadn't been washed in weeks. Vernon looked at the old wizard as he spoke. "Yes, what the fuck do you want, I'm busy." He said gruffly. Albus nodded with his grandfatherly smile as he replied. "Good morning Mr. Dursley, Marry Christmas. I am Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore the headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry." He said and this made Vernon grunt in discuss. Albus pressed on continuing to speak to the disheveled and fat Vernon Dursley. "May I come in. I would like to talk with you about your nephew Harry Potter." he told him, and within a heartbeat Vernon exploded in anger. "It's because of your lot that I am like this. I don't know where the fucking brat is and I really don't care. Why don't you go and speak to those pointy eared freaks, they may know something about Potter. I have my own problems." He said then slammed the door in his face.
Albus was shocked and incensed on how easily he was dismissed by Vernon Dursley. He so wanted to pull his wand and blow the front door off it's hinges before forcing the information out of the fat walrus of a man that was Vernon Dursley. He shook his head and calmly turned around thinking, let muggles deal with muggle problems. It didn't really affect him since his biggest prize and his toy was now a missing one. As Albus was slowly walking away from number 4 Privet Drive a smirk came across his face thanks to Vernon giving him a much needed clue. He knew exactly where his next stop needed to be, and that was Gringotts. Albus really didn't like the goblins since they were unsympathetic to those who treated them with disrespect.
(Monday, December 25, 2000: 9:30 AM: Gringotts Bank:)
As Albus was slowly walking down Little Whinging in Surry to apparate right to Gringotts. Unknown to Albus Dumbledore two professors had the same thought. Minerva McGonagall and Filius Flitwick knew that Gringotts would listen to their worries a lot better then the Ministry would. For two and a half months the Ministry ignored both professors saying that Harry Potter was fine, and this didn't sit well with the two professors hence why they were walking into the bank on Christmas. They both knew that they would get the answers about Harry Potter provided they treated the goblins with respect and asking the right questions. Minerva walked up to the first open counter before she spoke. "Good morning sir goblin, I hope your enemies fell at your feet by your blade as fire ants feasted on their eyes, and your vault be filled with their gold." She said giving a proper greeting. The goblin set his quill down grinning at the professor before he answered. "Very well met Madame, I have no enemies this day and my gold is doing fine. How may I help you this morning." He asked causing Minerva to nod. She quickly spoke so she wouldn't upset the goblin. "Sir Goblin we would like to speak with someone about Harry James Potter. The Ministry has not listened to our concerns and we know that Goblins would give us the answers we seek." She said and the goblin raised an eyebrow before smiling a toothy grin before speaking again. "Very well said Madame, I'll see if Director Ragknock is free to speak with you. My I have your names please so I know who he will be seeing." He asked and Filius nodded. He looked at the goblin as he spoke. "Yes master banker, Professor of Charms at Hogwarts School of witchcraft and Wizardry, Filius Orlo Flitwick, son of Kalti. This is Professor of Transfiguration of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry Minerva Grace McGonagall, daughter to Carmen and Birch McGonagall." He said and then bowed his respect.
The goblin gave a nod before flipping a sign on his counter then hopped off his stool. He walked around the counter before he spoke. "Please wait here and I'll come back to you and give you an answer." He said and then walked deeper into the bank. Minerva and Filius didn't have to wait very long as the goblin came back with Director Ragknock himself. He walked up to both professor shaking their hands as he spoke. "I am Director Ragknock of Gringotts bank and the main accountant to the Potter's. I hear you wish to speak with me. Please follow me and we'll talk where it is safe to do so." He said, and with a polite bow both Professor Minerva and Flitwick followed him deeper into the bank. The walk felt like an hour but in reality it was only just a few minutes. Ragknock swung open the heavy double doors to his office as he spoke. "Please have a seat, and we'll discuss our Prince Harry James Potter once I pull a few files." He told them. Filius and Minerva took a seat in one of the two chairs in front of Ragknock's desk. Ragknock sat in his chair and then pulled several files out of his desk before interlacing his fingers before looking at both professor's. Professor McGonagall felt a bit uneasy so she spoke to Ragknock. "Director Ragknock, I want to thank you for seeing us without an appointment. Professor Flitwick and myself are worried about Harry James Potter. I know we saw him at the Memorial services for his parent, but how is the boy doing." She asked and Ragknock could see the worry on both the professor's faces. Deciding that they honestly deserved the complete truth he pulled out two silver bracelets with an ornate goblin design on them. Handing a bracelet to each of the professors he spoke. "Please put these on your wand arm. These are goblin ward that will protect your mind, because what I have to tell you is needing to be kept secret." He told them and Minerva and Filius complied.
Once Ragknock saw that Filius and Minerva replied an the bracelets resized so they wouldn't come off he spoke. "I thank you both for complying with my request. Those bracelets I have given you is for not just your protection, but it is there to keep what I am about to tell you a royal family secret. Only those who are of royalty and myself know of this secret and since Princess and Lady Lilly Potter has mentioned you both directly in a last request I can give you both this secret. Minerva, Filius, I understand that you both participated in the battle of Godric's Hollow. For that my king and queen wish to thank you both and you honor the goblin nation, as such I am Authorized to give you both friend to the goblin nation and that of the royal family." He said and then looked to Filius continuing to speak. "Master Flitwick, I understand this doesn't mean much to you seeing your mother was a goblin and married a wizard banishing her name ever to be mentioned. However since you are now friends with the royal family that status has now changed. I will have Gringotts reopen your mother's vault as it will be open to you. Now let me get straight to both of your concerns. On the night of the battle in Godric's Hollow Princess Lilly and Prince James fell in defence of their only son. Tom Marvolo Riddle A.K.A. Voldemort then turned his eyes onto prince Harry trying to kill him. Prince Harry defeated the dark wizard but he was already weakened. Voldemort created Horcruxes splitting his soul. The King and queen learned about this when Lilly and James were still in Hogwarts. the Goblin nation spent years in this war finding and destroying these foul creations.
On the night of Voldemort's attack on the Potter's we already had our pieces in place. We knew what Dumbledore had planned and have set a trap which should be sprung either today or in the next few days. Here is why, Lilly and James are very much alive thanks to Muggle technology. The killing curse Voldemort used does exactly as it says, at least to us. But with Muggle technology it just shows them having a heart-attack. Quite ingenious technology the muggles have and it has done wonders in advancing the healing process. When Albus let prince Harry on the doorstep of his adopted aunt we already had goblin guards there to protect him. Prince Harry had a cut and was tainted with a small part of a horcrux which we got out of him so he will not be left with a scar. I was called in and did an escrow contract for my prince and then returned him to his parents. There is a side effect of the Horcrux left im the prince's head was that he will be a parselmouth and will resight word for word what he saw that night. The Potter family and prince Harry's betrothed are all in hiding. Only the king and queen along with myself are the only ones who know where they are. I was assigned as Harry's legal guardian on the request of my king and queen because as far as the Ministry is concerned Princess Lilly and Prince James is dead. That will be a shock when they show up very much alive when it is time. I do hope you'll be there. Anyways, when it comes time for Harry and his betrothed to attend Hogwarts please send them directly to me and I'll forward them on to their parents. You may not get a reply back, but rest assured that when it is time for them to enter the castle prince Harry will have his reply, permission to leave the grounds and those of his betrothed he wishes to have with him. One last thing before I bid you a Merry Christmas, Please choose a professor as a head of house for house Potter. You'll know why in a few years." He said as Minerva and Filius stayed quiet listening to Ragknock.
Minerva and Filius had to sit in their chairs for several minutes and then stood up. They honestly couldn't say a word do to the shock, but they both smiled seeing that Harry was being well taken care of. Director Ragknock walked them both out of his office and into the main part of the bank just as Albus Dumbledore walked in. he grinned like a mad goblin trying to hoard gold. Albus walked up seeing the two professors and was going to speak but Ragknock spoke. "Professor McGonagall, professor Flitwick, I thank you for wanting to invest in the companies Gringotts has suggested. We will uphold the high standers you set and will send you a statement by owl in three months to inform you on how they are doing. I wish you both a Merry Christmas and a good day." He said before bowing to them both. Both Minerva and Filius knew that this was a blatant lie and bowed back before turning to leave. They gave Albus an icey stare which could send a chill up his spine. Ragknock looked to his right giving a sharp nod to four goblin guards standing close by. They walked towards Dumbledore as they pulled their swords. One the four guards were behind Ragknock he spoke. "Dumbledore, follow me now." He ordered and with a lite poke coming from one of the guards Albus knew something was up.
Ragknock walked into a very bland conference room that had nothing on the walls or anything else except for a plain desk and chair. Albus has been to the Gringotts many times and was shown a lot fancier rooms then the one he was standing in. with another sharp poke in the back Albus knew he better take a seat. As he sat down Ragknock pulled out several pieces of parchment from the desk and a bag of galleons. he looked at Albus as he spoke. "Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore. We knew that you would come, now I am officially here to tell you that you are permanently barred from Gringotts persona non grata for the rest of your life. Here is the list of reasons and 10,000 galleons. you are not welcomed in any branch of Gringotts or their other facilities they have dealings with." Said Ragknock coldly. This shocked Dumbledore and he was incensed at how Ragknock talked to him. he soon spoke looking at the Director. "If you'll excuse me Director Ragknock, but I must ask why such harshness in punishment. I did nothing to warrant such actions." Albus said causing Ragknock to grin with coldness. He nodded before replying. "You have the reasons Dumbledore. But let me give you just one. Kidnapping of our prince, and stealing from his vault. I will tell you this now and you can think about it while you read over the charges for your banishment from our bank. Now that you have no standing with us, by goblin law you are to never speak with a child who is under our care without a goblin present, and I know what you're thinking Albus. you think that Professor Filius Flitwick would be your saving grace using him as a channel. I assure you that this move will not work and the goblin nation would see this act as an act of abuse which we will respond accordingly. Now leave my sight!" Ragknock said ordering the last part before Albus could say a word.
The goblin guards forced Albus to his feet and with a sharp poke into his back they walked him out of the sight of Ragknock and in front of several witches and wizards was thrown out of the Bank making him land on his ass. As Albus rose to his feet and turn around the great doors of Gringotts were closed. Several witch's and wizard walked by him entering and he knew there was a big mistake. He walk towards the great doors but found that he couldn't take more than two steps before being stopped. Now realizing after several attempts that this was in vane Albus left to go back to Hogwarts and read over his parchments. He really wanted to know what happened with his toy Harry Potter but he wouldn't get anywhere with the goblins and decided to bide his time when Harry Returned into the magical world in 10 years' time.
(Thursday, September 1, 2011: 9:45 Am: King Cross Station, Platform 9 and ¾:)
It's been ten years since Harry and his betrothed were hidden away from the magical world. Hermione Jean Granger was just one of the betrothed to Harry and she was early to board the scarlet steam engine that she was now looking at. For Hermione life before Hogwarts was not a fun experience being called Bucky beaver, bush, know-it-all and several other names that she wished she cold forget. Her only refuge through her schooling before Hogwarts was books, mostly classics like Pride and Prejudice. But outside of those books she loved to read Hermione was taught by some of the best tutors money could buy. She studied everything from history, fencing, martial arts, Princess lessons and so much more once her magic started to manifest. The last thing that kept her from getting too upset was the fact that she had two loving parents and a baby sister Kathrine or Kathy as she Hermione liked to call her.
Just before Hermione left the house with her family her mother came into her room and placed a neckless around her neck with a ring attached. She smiled before telling her that this was her betrothal ring and it will point her to the boy that she was bound too, she was also told that there were other witches who had the same ring and to never take off the neckless until her betrothed thought it was time. She shook her head out of her thoughts and saw several other students older then her in several different Hogwarts house colors. Hermione's ring was visible and she clutched it into her hand letting out a sign in hopes to gain strength for what she was about to do. Tucking her ring back under her blouse she walked up to what she thought was several older students before speaking. "Um Excuse me, do you mind…" she said and the older students looked down at her before walking away with a snort. Hermione heard one of the students speak to their friends. "Stupid mudblood, they shouldn't even be allowed into Hogwarts." the older student said to their friends and they were nodding. Hermione slowly walked back to her trunk fully loaded down with more things then she really needed. She sat down on her trunk as tears started to fall as she spoke to herself. "I thought it would be different then my old school. I thought I would make friends, I want to go home and hide." She said to herself.
What Hermione didn't know was a long-haired boy dressed in the finest suit and had bright emerald green eyes anyone has ever seen saw the interaction. He walked over and tapped Hermione on the shoulder speaking in a mix between Italian and English. "Excuse me Miss. would you like some help." He asked, and this caused Hermione to rub her eyes before looking up. She couldn't believe her eyes seeing a very handsome boy standing right in front of her. She had to shake her head as she thought of one of her favorite characters Sienna Stevens and Randall Blanton ever had a son, this boy would be it. However as she looked into the boy's bright emerald green eyes she swore she could see him as a god if Zeus and Hara had one more child. She soon spoke looking at the boy. "Oh, please that would be a great help. it might be a bit heavy so please be careful." She said standing up quickly and this caused her ring to come away from her blouse. The boy raised an eyebrow before he smirked seeing the ring. He bowed as he spoke. "It would be my pleasure Ms. Granger. I am honored to be of service to such a lovely young lady such as yourself. " He said causing Hermione to blush. She nodded before she replied. "Why thank you kind sir. You do honor me with assistance." She answered. Hermione and the boy she was standing with were noticed by several witches and wizards who were getting their own children on the train to Hogwarts. they all were smiling seeing the respect between the two of them.
Hermione was soon shocked as the boy she was with made her trunk levitate and then he spoke. "Shall we Miss. you would do the great honor in sharing a compartment on the journey to our new school." he said holding out his arm for her taking. Hermione didn't hesitate in taking the boy's arm and they walked to the scarlet steam engine. They both boarded and found a compartment but Hermione didn't realized that there were guards standing a few feet away from each other bowing as she walked by. The sharp lurch of the compartment made her come out of her daydream. She looked to the boy who was now sitting across from her reading one of the books used in the higher years in Hogwarts. she was going to speak before the boy closed his book then looked at her speaking. "It is a pleasure to meet you Princess and Lady Hermione Jean Granger, or more precisely Princess Potter. I'm Prince and Lord Harry Potter, your betrothed." He told her with a warm smile. Hermione was taken back and she couldn't believe who she was sitting with and what he said. it took her several minutes before she was able to speak. "Wait a minute. What do you mean your my betrothed. My mom has always said that I was betrothed and I thought she was just joking. How do you know that we're betrothed and you're the famous Harry Potter, the-boy-who lived." She asked in one breath. Harry laughed with a smile before nodding.
He saw that his laughter made Hermione uneasy and he raised his hand showing no harm as he started to speak. "I am sorry Miss. Granger, I wasn't laughing at you. I was laughing because my guardian told me about some of the reactions I would get. To answer your questions about who I am and how I know that they are betrothed are quite simple. First it's the ring around your neck. That is the house crest of Potter, the dragon is our guardian and that is my mother's ring. My father gave it to her when he proposed to her." He said and then stood up pulling out a book from his trunk before sitting down flipping through the pages. Once Harry found the correct page he handed Hermione the book continuing to speak. "Here read this. It's my mother's diary. On the next page is a list of all the withes who have a betrothal with me. your second question is yes I really am Harry James Potter, but I go by Henry Lions. It is just until certain things are taken care of. Let me ask you something Ms. Granger, haven't you wondered why your right arms has a scar drawn in a pattern." Harry asked. Hermione closed the diary and handed it back to Harry in shock. A part of her wanted to scream and storm out of the compartment and find a new place to sit. But deep down she felt like this boy who was claiming to be Harry Potter was telling her the truth, and she was really betrothed to the boy. She really hoped in her heart she was and this was no trick or lie.
Hermione nodded just before she spoke. "I was wondering about that. My parents said something about it a few times, but I really wasn't listening. I am sort of a book worm since I was bullied in school and it was my only escape." Hermione admitted. Harry nodded and then reached out placing a hand on her knee as he replied. "Believe me Ms. Granger, I was just like you before I got my letter to Hogwarts. my guardian said that they are protection runes and all my betrothed have them with me. they even have rings like what you have around your neck." He told her and Hermione smiled now knowing what was on her arm. For several hours many of the other students were running up and down the train after hearing Harry Potter was on board. Harry and Hermione were interrupted from their talking as the door slid open and a young blonde girl with sapphire blue eyes spoke. "Excuse me, but are you um, Harry Potter." She asked quietly saying Harry's name. Harry stood up and took the young lady by the hand before reaching around shutting the door behind her. This startled the young witch and Harry soon spoke. "Yes I am, and you must be Daphne Victoria Greengrass from the way you look." He told her and this shocked the young witch. She slowly nodded as Hermione stood up smiling before she spoke. "Hi Daphne, I'm Hermione, Hermione Jean Granger. I think you should sit down, because there is so much to talk about." She said and Daphne took a seat next to Hermione.
By the time a bell sounded Cho Yue Chang, Pansy Sable Parkinson, Fleur Isabelle Delacour, Susan Marlene Bones and Neville Longbottom was in the compartment listening to Harry. He stood up before speaking once again. "Well, looks like it's time for lunch. Brother and ladies would you do me the honor of joining me for lunch we could finish our talks there." He said and they all had to agree since everyone's stomach was rumbling from hunger. Once their hunger was satisfied everyone returned to their compartment closing the door. Daphne looked to Harry as she spoke. "Harry you have two carriages to yourself and one is just for eating. I am so impressed." She said and this caused Harry to smile raising a finger speaking. "Ah, my dear Daphne, you are mistaken. It's not just mine but all of ours until we finish our schooling at Hogwarts. It is a gift from my grandparents for my 11th birthday. I feel like I am a bit spoiled." He admitted while Hermione shook her head. She soon spoke looking at Harry. "But you're the crown prince to the Goblin nation. It says so in your mother's diary and I read the whole thing within minutes. Why not be spoiled a bit, but more importantly how come you are so noble, caring and so many other words I can't list them all. This seems like a story from one of my favorite books come to life. This has to be a dream right." She asked causing Harry to shake his head.
Harry set a hand on Hermione's knee who was now sitting next to him as he replied. "I have lived in the magical, muggle and Goblin worlds. I didn't have much growing up except for one friend in the goblin nation. Her name is Sapphire, she is another one of my betrothed, but because of Wizarding law she can't attend Hogwarts. It really hurts not having her here, but she wanted me to attend Hogwarts to make friends and find all my betrothed." He told her and the door to the compartment opened. A boy with red hair and dirt on his nose peered in "Hey have you seen Harry Potter. I heard he was back here. I sure hope he is." The boy said and Harry's eyes flashed and shoved the boy out of their compartment. "Out you! Weasley's are not welcomed here, and for your information we don't know any Harry Potter. our parents have said to look out for weasel thief's with red hair. I am presuming your one of them." Harry said before slamming the door shut on the boy's face. The red haired boy looked socked as he was getting to his feet. He honestly didn't know what he did to deserve to be roughly handled. Harry sat back down in his seat with Hermione on his right and Fleur on his left. Neville was trying to not crack up laughing seeing what Harry did and the looks he was getting from his witches. Neville decided to enlighten all of the girls before things went south against Harry. "The Potter's and all of our houses have a feud with the Weasley house. From what my gran told me was that Harry's mom and I think Astoria Eibon along with the rest of her friends caught Mrs. Weasley stealing from her. Of course Mrs. Weasley had to go in front of a full Wizengamot to stop it from becoming a blood feud." He said and this caused Daphne to sit up as she spoke. "Wait I think I remember what my mom told me. She said made wonderful friends and she mentioned names. I don't remember the list, but when I can write my parents. I'll ask her." She said and everyone agreed to find out.
A few minutes before the scarlet steam engine pulled into Hogsmeade the door slid open and a guard spoke. "Excuse me Prince Harry, but we're be at Hogsmeade Station. I suggest that you and your betrothed get ready. You'll be informed on what to do after you're ready." He told them. Harry stood up once the door closed. He looked at Neville speaking. "Neville brother, I think we should leave so these fine lovely ladies can get ready." He said and Neville stood up agreeing. Fleur smiled before she spoke. "You're a smooth talker Harry. I hope what we talked about is true becoming friends and lovers." She said and this caused Harry to smirk. Both Harry and Neville left the compartment to get ready themselves. Soon the train came to a slow stop and the doors to all the compartments opened. A guard held Harry back placing a hand to his chest speaking. "Young prince, please wait a moment. Your grandfather fears you traveling across the Black lake. He made arrangements for you and your witches along with your brother to travel in different means." He told them as a booming voice was heard. "First years, first years this way." Said the voice. The guard shook his head as the sounds of the students trailed off. The compartment door soon opened and Harry saw a very stern looking witch wearing dark green robes and her hair was in a tight bunn. The guard bowed as he spoke. "Friend to the goblin nation, Deputy Headmistress McGonagall. This is Harry Potter and his witches along with his brother. I will leave them in your care and I will report to my king about their safe arrival." He told her and Minerva nodded.
All the guards left and a wide smile came across Minerva's face seeing Harry. She really wanted to walk up and hug the boy but her duty came first and she spoke. "Welcome Prince Potter to Hogwarts, and to the princess's as well along with your brother." Said Minerva before sitting down. She motioned for Harry and everyone to take a seat which they did. She looked at all of them before continuing to speak. "Your grandfather has made a request for all of you to not go across the lake as it is customary for first years. He fears that something will happen. A bit over cautious but after your parents died Harry I understand his fears. I will be escorting you all personally as it is my duty as friends to the goblin nation. Harry did guardian Ragknock send the correct paperwork with you." She asked and Harry nodded before pulling out the parchments from his robes speaking. "Yes ma'am, everything is in order, and he also sent some rules with some Goblin laws when it comes to me and my brother along with my betrothed. Ragknock said he warned you about tonight." Harry said and Minerva nodded standing up after taking the parchment. After sliding then into her robes she replied. "He did prince Harry, we'll discuss that on our way up to the castle. Please follow me and we'll head there now." She said and then opened the door to their compartment. Harry, Neville and Harry's witches followed.
Harry and his betrothed along with Neville walked off the platform to an elegant carriage and it was like they read about. Normally the carriages for Hogwarts was an open style, but this one had a roof and a door. Minerva opened the door climbing in and Harry followed her lead with everyone else. Once the door was closed the carriage started moving. As the carriage slowly moved towards the castle Harry and Minerva had a serious talk while everyone stayed quiet listening. Slowly the castle was coming into their view and Minerva smiled seeing the awed looks on her charges faces seeing the castle for the first time.
Next Chapter: There is no chapter at this time. I am working on a few things for the new chapter, Thank you
Author's Note 2: I do hope everyone liked this chapter as I did try my best to the story. Okay, some of you might not like what I did with Petunia, but I wanted to show her in a more remorseful position about her sister. I thought of an interaction between her and a goblin a day after her sister's death would reflect that. Then I thought of a way for Petunia to really show her sorrow and a Memorial Service came to mind. I hope you all like the interaction between Vernon and Petunia. This chapter really was honestly a pain, and I did try to make it seem different then what can be found. Anyway I will see you in the next chapter of The Quest Of The Potter's! I will be adding onto my other stories How To Train Your Dragon Freya's Watchful Eye, Harry Potter Changing The Future and Harry Potter and A Christmas Wish in the next few days, but it may take me a week or two to see if I can make any corrections that are needed. Please be patient and keep an eye out.
