Diagon Alley. London.
The Fentons and McGonagall have arrived at the leaky cauldron. Before they walk into the pub, Maddy puts a Hat on Danny's head to hide his scar. They walk into the pub. And the owner, Tom, Greets McGonagall."Hello, Minerva, can I offer you a drink?"
McGonagall replies."Not today, Tom. I'm here to show around the Muggleborn and Muggle-raised Students." Tom says in reply."Well, mabye next time."
A few minutes later, A couple and Their daughter walk in. They seem like they have done well for themselves. The father introduces his family. "Hello, it's nice to meet you, I'm Dan Granger. My wife, Emma. And our Daughter Hermoine."
Jack replies by Introducing his family."Hello Dan, it's nice to meet you too. I'm Jack Fenton. My wife, Maddy. And Our children Jasmine and Daniel."
The parents get a table while the children are talking together. Dan asks."So, Jack, what do you do for a living?" Jack replies."Me? I'm an Inventor And researcher. What about you, Dan?" Dan answers. "Im a Dentist. What do you research?"
Jack says."Our research focus is on the Paranormal." Dan looks surprised and asks."Does this have to do with your son?" Jack laughs and says."No, but it did prove that there is more than science can currently explain." Dan starts laughing, too. And says."I hear you. A few months ago. I did not expect to wake up and learn that my little angel is a witch."
Emma says to Maddy."You seem to be taking it well that your son has Magic." Maddy replies."Well, my sister had Magic, too. So I knew the chance existed. That one of my children might have it as well." Maddy then asks the same thing."You seem to be okay. With your daughter having Magic as well."
Emma replies."Well, I was shocked at first. But she is still my Hermoine. And I finally understood how a four-year-old girl could get books from the top shelf." Maddy smiles and says."Danny, when he was of a similar age, he got his first haircut, and he was not happy. The next day, his hair was back to normal."
Meanwhile, Hermoine introduces herself to Jazz and Danny."Hi, it's nice to meet you. I'm Hermoine Granger." Jazz replies."Hello, Hermoine. It's nice to meet you, too. Im Jasmine Fenton. But please call me Jazz." Danny says."I'm Daniel Fenton, but you can call me Danny. It's nice to meet you too, Hermoine."
Hermoine smiles and says."I was shocked but very pleased when I got my letter." Danny Replies."Yeah, I see how certain events suddenly made sense for you and your family." Hermoine then asks."What about you, Danny?" Danny explains while feeling bad, he has to lie."My aunt had Magic, so we knew what we were dealing with."
Hermoine then asks."Are you American? And if so, why do you go to Hogwarts? Why not a school in the United States?" Danny Thinks quickly and says."I was born here, so I was registered for Hogwarts."
The Fentons and Grangers are getting to know each other. And the other families arrive one by one.
McGonagall gives a quick introduction by pointing out the new students by surname."Allow me to introduce everyone. The first introduction is Mr Fenton. Next to him is Miss Granger. And the other three are Miss Perks. Mr. Thomas and Mr. Finch-Fletchley. Four of you are Muggle-born. That means you have Magic despite not being from a magical family. Mr Fenton Is a Half-Blood. But he is Muggle-raised. That's why he is joining us today."
McGonagall then says."First, we head towards Gringotts so you can exchange your pounds for wizard Currency."
They all head towards a white building with Gringotts on it. On the door is a poem engraved.
"Enter stranger, but take heed. Of 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."
Gringott's poem on the front door. Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone book.
Inside, McGonagall points the Grangers, The Thomases, The Finch-Fletchleys, And The Perks to the Currency Exchange Window.
She says."Follow me, Mr. Fenton. We go to your vault and Make a withdrawal instead." Danny nods and Follows McGonagall. She conjures a Form of some Kind. And she gives it to the goblin at the Counter.
The goblin says after a while, "The vault's information is updated. The vault is now to Mr Fenton. Now, I understand that Mr. Fenton wishes to make a withdrawal. But does Mr Fenton have his key?"
McGonagall then hands the goblin a key. And another goblin comes and takes Danny to his vault. Hermoine runs up and asks."Would you mind if I joined you?" Danny replies."Not at all." Hermoine says."Thank you, Danny. The Wizarding world is so new to me. So I want to see as much as possible."
They head towards a mining cart. And after a short rollercoaster ride with a now very regretful young girl. They arrive at Danny's vault.
The goblin walks up to vault 687. and Opens it. Danny and Hermoine look inside.
Inside were mounds of gold coins. Columns of silver. Heaps of little bronze Knuts. The goblin explains. "The Gold coins are Galleon, Seventeen Silver Sickles to a Galleon, and twenty-nine Knuts to a Sickle."
Danny exclaims."Holy Crud, im rich." Danny Then grabs a bag and takes a small amount of Galleons, the Exact number McGongall recommended.
They head back up. And Meet the rest of the group. McGonagall says."First, you need your robes. So our next stop is Madam Malkins." On the way there, Hermoine and Danny are talking and seem to be getting along.
Inside the robe shop, a woman walks up to the five students and asks."Hogwarts Dears?" They all nod. And they all get measured for the uniforms. After the uniforms are ready, they head towards the bookstore.
Inside the bookstore, McGonagall recommends a few extra books. She Pulls Danny aside and says."Mr Fenton, Might I Recommend you get a few books on dueling and Defensive Magic." Danny Nods and besides the Curriculum. Buys a Basic dueling book, Hogwarts, A History, A Book on Defensive Charms, And a book on Wandless Magic.
Danny and the others then buy the other supplies. And Danny buys a trunk with several compartments. Last but not least. The group heads towards Ollivander's to buy their wands.
McGonagall leads everyone inside. But Danny asks if he can look around the alley for a bit. She then tells him that it is Probably for the best. Danny Walks over to the Quidditch Supplies and Sees Jack and Dan. He walks up to them. And Jack says while pointing at the Nimbus 2000.
"Look, Kids, My Mother in Law uses one Just like that." Dan laughs and Asks."Oh, so You have one of those, too?" Jack replies."Yes, meeting with the in-laws is always such a fairytale." Danny clears his throat. And Jack knows who it is.
He says."Daniel, how would you like to get that pet? You always wanted?"
Danny says."Sure, Dad, I mean. It's just to keep me company, and nothing nefarious was said or heard." Dan says."Oh, he is good." Jack says."Wait till you get a load of Jasmine." And inside of Eeylops Owl Emporium. Danny Buys a Snowy white owl.
Danny then heads to Ollivanders and enters the store. Mr Olivander says."I was wondering when I would see you, Mr Fenton. After all. Your Parents bought their first wands here, too." Danny asks."You knew my Parents?" Olivander replies."Yes, their end was most tragic." Olivander then says."Here, now, give this wand a wave." Danny gives it a wave, and the flower pot explodes.
Danny apologizes, but Ollivander says."No worries. Your father blew up my Ink Pot. When he first bought his wand here."
Olivander grabs another one and gives it to danny. Danny waves it, and nothing seemingly happens.
Meanwhile, outside
a young blond boy gloats."I Have the Nimbus 2000 now, mabye." The boy finishes talking about his brand-new Nimbus broom. It Suddenly catches fire. The boy lets go. And the broom instantly burns, Leaving nothing but ash.
The boy says."Wait till My father hears about this." And he storms off.
Back inside.
Danny meanwhile tried a few more wands when suddenly Olivander says."I wonder, and He grabs another wand." Danny waves it, and it fits like a custom glove. Ollivander says."Curious." Danny asks."What do you mean?"
Ollivander explains."I remember every wand I ever sold." Danny asks."Is there something with my wand?" Ollivander says."It's curious to see that this wand chose you. When its brother gave you that scar."
"I believe, Mr. Fenton, we can expect great things from you. After all, he-who-must-not-be-named. Did great things, Terrible things, yes, but great."Olivander finishes explaining. Danny pays for his wand. And Olivander reassures him that his secret is safe with him.
Danny heads outside and Meets up with his family. McGonagall then gives the students their tickets and tells them how to get to the platform. Finally, she gives each one a pamphlet with information.
The Families all say their goodbyes to each other. And Danny says goodbye to Hermoine.
McGonagall takes the Fentons home and says her goodbyes. She then Port keys towards Hogwarts.
Later, in the headmaster's office.
McGonagall explains the Situation, and Dumbledore says with a twinkle in his eyes."It's a good Plan, Minerva. It will allow young Harry to be Just another student."
Dumbledore looks towards the sorting hat and says."Remember when we call for Mr. Fenton. You are not to reveal the boy's true identity." The sorting hat says."Very well."
Dumbledore finishes by saying."I will Perform a memory spell on us. It will allow us to forget Mr. Potters's Identity For three years. And then we can see. If we need to perform the spell once more." before Dumbledore performs the spell he writes a small note. He then summons an Owl and sends a small gift to someone.
He then transfigures Harry Potter's name on the list into Daniel Fenton. He then performs the spell. After the spell, he sees and reads the note and gives McGonagall a book he says. "It seems vital that you learn Occlumency."
McGonagall says."Odd, but I will do so, Albus. Will that be All?" Dumbledore nods and says."Good night, Minerva." And McGonagall says."Good Night, Albus."
Meanwhile, Back at the Fentons.
Jack Says."Well, we have a few hours before your birthday party, Danny. Why dont you put your trunk upstairs." Danny brings his stuff upstairs and looks at a picture of his Parents. He says to Himself."Mom, Dad, I wish you were here."
The doorbell rings, and Jazz opens the door. She says."Uncle Vlad, you are early." Vlad replies."Hello Jasmine. It's lovely as always to see you. How are you? I heard You Still have a perfect grade average. Your Parents must be very proud."
Jazz replies."Yes, they are. They never miss an opportunity to remind me. But come in, Uncle Vlad. Do you want something to drink?." Vlad answers."Well, I won't say no to a nice cup of coffee. Are your Parents down in the lab?" Jazz says."Yes, they are. You know the way." Vlad replies."That I do."
Later in the Lab.
Vlad asks."So, how is the Little Badger holding up?" Maddy says."I dont know, Vlad. He seemed fine when we went to get his school supplies. But he is being quiet now." Jack adds."I think he is Missing His Parents more than usual today." Vlad."Yes, the future we were preparing for is here. It seems. How is the Portal?"
Maddy says."We finished it last night. But I do wonder if it's necessary if McGonagall's plan works?" Vlad reveals a book called Harry Potter and the Dragon's Den.
he says."I dont think. We can count on him remaining anonymous for very long. Also, I know what happened after we left that day due to my contacts. Most of the group that is responsible for your sisters and brother-in-law's death got away scot-free. Their government is corrupt. If we dont do this. Daniel will be at their mercy. I know it's extreme, but it's the only way to give Daniel a fighting chance."
Jack asks."When do we do this?" Vlad replies."I say we rip off the bandaid and do it tonight." Maddy agrees and says."He is right. We best do it before it's too late."
