"And thats your biggest worry?" one man says as the screen comes to life
"Yes any kind of virus, but mostly something similar to influenza because of air travel through the air"
"I'm sorry I meant people. On planes" "that was something you described in your book" the tv show presenter says
"Yes a new virus in Madagascar say could be in Chicago in weeks and we end up with a global pandemic pan meaning all. All the whole world would become sick all at once" one of the doctor says.
"And doctor neuman your also an epidemiologist i'm sure the though of a global pandemic keeps you up all night as well". the tv presenter addresses the other doctor who has yet to speak.
"No"
"No?"
"No"
"Alright then that's our show" the tv presenter speaks sarcastically. The crowd laughs
"No mankind has been at war with virus since the start ,sometimes millions die as in an actual war but in the end we always win"
"But you, just to be clear you believe microorganisms pose a threat".
"In the most dire terms" the doctor speaks seriously.
"Bacteria?"
"No"
"viruses?"
"No"
"you like saying no"
"yes"
"Not bacteria not viruses so?"
"Fungus" the scientist reply's
"yes that's the usual response"
"well fungi seems harmless enough but many species know otherwise, see fungi are not always out to kill they are sometimes just out to control and take over other spices. Let me ask you where do we get LSD from?"
"Where do we get it from?" the tv producer asks the question back to the scientist
"It comes from ergot, a fungus psilocybin? also a fungus viruses can make us ill but fungi can alter our very minds. There's a fungus that infects insects gets inside an ant for example it travels through it circulatory system and into the brain and then floods it with hallucinogens thus bending the ants mind to its will the fungus will start to directly effect the ants behaviour telling it where to go, what to do like a puppeteer with its marionette. And it gets worse, the fungus needs food to live and starts eating the hots from the inside out replacing the hostess flesh with its own. But it doesn't let it's victim die no it keeps it's puppet alive by preventing decomposition."
How? Well where do we get penicillin from? "
"Fungus"
The doctor points to him as it saying exactly
"Doctor shiolonise your in distress"
"So fungal infection exists just not in humans, true fungi can not survive if the internal host is over 94 degrees and currently, there is no reason for fungi to evolve but what if that were to change? What if for instance the world were to get slightly warmer One gene mutates and an ascomycete, candida, ergot, Cordyceps, were to take control of billions of us. Billions of puppets with poisoned permanently fixed on one unifying goal to spread infection to every last human alive by any means necessary now there are no cures for this, no treatments, no prevention, no cures they don't exist. It's. Not even possible to make them"
"So if that happens?"
"We lose."
/hogwarts, June 26, 2013./
Fourteen year old Harry Potter was being ignored by many of the students walking through the school. He was still recovering from the aftermath of the third task when he was kidnapped alongside Cedric Diggery to a graveyard where Wormtail killed the Hufflepuff champion with the killing curse and Harry's blood was used to resurrect Voldemort. Harry was barely lucky enough to escape with Cedric's body back to Hogwarts. However Cornelius fudge didn't believe him and thought it was a plot by Dumbledore to become minister.
Harry walked beside several second years who backed away from him in fright. The boy headed down an empty corridor when a pair of arms came out of the door and brought him into an empty classroom. Harry looked to see Daphne Greengrass pulling him in after two other Slytherins of their year Blaise Zambini and Tracy Davis went outside to watch over the door. "Daph?" He said before Daphne pulled him in close for a hug.
"Shhh. just let me hold you" She said with a soft tone in her voice.. It had pained her to see her secret boyfriend in so much pain after what happened during the third task. She mentally growled a threat to Dumbledore for allowing him to compete in the tournament in the first place. He could only break down in her arms and she just stood there rubbing his back. They stood like that for several minutes until Harry had finally let it all out. He looked at her before he kissed her forehead. He said. "Thanks Daph...I needed that"
"You're welcome Harry" she replied before he looked around for a moment.
"Dobby!" He said.
A pop was heard as Dobby the house elf wearing a red robe with the potter crest in the middle of the robe. "Yes master Harry Potter?" asked Dobby upon being summoned by him.
"Get my trunk and Hedwig and bring them here" said Harry.
"What are you doing Harry?" Daphne asked
"I've had it Daphne…..This whole year was the last straw for me.." Harry replied walking over to the nearby fireplace. He stood there before he looked at the one who approached him earlier in the year offering her help to prepare for the Triwizard Tournament after his best friends Ron and Hermoine abandoned him thinking he put his name in the Goblet of fire. He took her to the Yule Ball when he asked her and she accepted and from that night the two became a couple under the cloak.
"My whole life has been nothing but pain and misery except for when my parents were alive" He started not even looking at her. She was silent before he continued. "For the first ten years of my life...I was stuffed into a cupboard under the stairs by my abusive muggle relatives and I thought my name was Freak until the day I got my Hogwarts letter from Hagrid and learned I was a wizard born from a powerful witch and Wizard.. I thought things could be different here at Hogwarts and i could be normal"
He then looked at her before he said. "But no.. I don't even get that here at hogwarts...First year here Dumbledore placed the Sorcerer's stone here and left silly old traps for three first years olds to solve. Second year. The Chamber of Secrets gets opened and for several months I was blamed for being the Heir of Slytherin for being a Parseltongue. Third year was the most decent year although my godfather who is innocent of the crime got wrongfully accused of betraying my parents and then this year was by far the worst year I have ever endured in this school. Being entered into a fucking tournament against my wishes and all my friends turned their backs on me!"
Daphne could only just stand there listening to his problems with several tears leaving her eyes. "I'm sick and tired of one minute being praised a hero and then backstabbed and called a dark wizard...I'm through with being a wizard and i wished i losted my magic and ran off before the tournament started but one thing kept me here or rather one person" said Harry before walking over to Daphne and pulled her into his arms. "You were the first person that never cared about my fame. You only wanted to get to know me."
Daphne could only smile at him before she looked at Dobby. "Dobby can you get my things from the Slytherin dorm as well and Get Astoria?" she asked.
"Of course Miss Greengrass" Dobby said before he disappeared with a crack. Harry looked at his girlfriend before she said. "I'm coming with you."
"But Daphne, what about your future here? You're the second best besides Hermoine." Harry said
"You prat...if you think i'm gonna let you go anywhere then its not without me...I love you and plus this would be a chance for you to visit gringotts before we leave. father is signing a contract between me and Theodore nott and the same thing with Stori and Draco Malfoy" said Daphne.
Harry accepted her answer before Dobby popped back with both their trunks with Astoria. "Thanks Dobby, Daphne, Astoria and I are going to need a lift to Gringotts. Can you take us there?" Asked Harry after Dobby shrunk their trunks to pocket size.
"Of course Master, Dobby is pleased to serve," Dobby said when the door opened and both Treacy and Blaise entered the room. 'Professor Snape is coming Daph, you guys better wrap this up quick"
"I'm leaving with Harry Tracy. I'm taking Astoria and we're running away with Harry," said Daphne, answering her best friend.
"But what about your father and the contract with the notts?" asked Blaise.
"Fuck him…He wasn't a good father to me and astoria anyway and i am following my heart. Harry cured Stori of her curse and she doesn't want to marry Malfoy either." said Daphne before she hugged her two best friends and they returned it. Blaise looked at Harry before he said "You take good care of my friend Potter or else"
"I will '' Harry said before Daphne walked back over to him and Dobby apparate them to the lobby at Gringotts. Harry, Daphne and Astoria approached the nearest teller."What can i help you with?" asked the teller.
"We are here to see the Potter's account manager. My boyfriend's parents may have left him a will before they died" Daphne said in a calm tone towards the goblins.
'And who may that be?" asked the teller.
"Harry James Potter sir" said Harry.
"I'll see if Boodtooth can see you," the teller said as he hopped off his stool and headed for a silver door.
Harry and Daphne waited and kept an eye out for anyone they knew. They noticed a few looks from some people who started whispering to each other and Daphne with her ice queen mask glared back which caused them to turn away.
"Bloodtooth will see you both now," the goblin said as he came back, "Go to the gold door behind you and down the passageway to the sixth door on your right. Knock and he will call you in."
The couple nodded and quickly hurried to the gold door and pulled it open. Heading down the hallway he counted the doors until they hit the sixth one and Harry gently rapped on the oak door.
they didn't know but had narrowly avoided being seen by Bill Weasley as a voice called out, "Enter."
Harry and the two Greengrass sisters entered the room and closed the door just as Bill Weasley walked into the hallway from another corridor. Stepping into the room, Harry saw a goblin wearing a blood red suit, seated behind a large desk. Bookshelves were lined on two of the walls and behind the desk, the wall was covered in swords, axes, maces and other weapons that humans had left far in behind in their history while the goblins continued to use them.
"Mr. Bloodtooth, my name is Harry James Potter and my Girlfriend Daphne Greengrass and her little sister Astoria Greengrass" Harry introduced himself to the goblin.
"Ah Mr. Potter, you have finally come to see me." said Bloodtooth before he gestured to them to have a seat in the two chairs in front of his desk. Harry and Daphne took their seats.
"Now you can tell me as to why you have been ignoring my summons and mail with your bank statements for the last thirteen years since the death of Lord and Lady Potter?" Asked Bloodtooth
"I never got any mail from Gringotts and I've only known about the Wizarding World for about four years" Harry said defending himself.
"Mr, Bloodtooth, Harry was raised by muggles and he had no knowledge of anything about his family or wealth until just this year,I've been teaching him about how our world works. Someone has his mail belong blocked and monitored." Daphne said. She had a feeling Dumbledore was keeping Harry in the dark about his family history and the fact the Potters are an ancient and noble house. The Wand he got on his fourteenth birthday was proof as it had appeared to him one day while he was with the Weasleys.
"I see, it seems your magical guardian has not done his job properly on teaching you about our world." said Bloodtooth.
"Who would be my magical Guardian?" asked Harry.
"The Headmaster of Hogwarts...Albus Dumbledore" said Bloodtooth when he pulled out a roll of parchment. "Your parents did leave you a will and your were to hear this will at eleven years old and without further ado, let the will reading begin".
Last Will and Testament of James Charlus Potter and Lily Marie Potter (nee Evans).
We, James and Lily Potter declare this is our final will, forsaking all others written before this date. Before we get to the details, we wish to let you know why we have combined our wills. We are being hunted by the terrorist called Lord Voldemort. We have gone into hiding under the Fidelius Charm. We have chosen Peter Pettigrew, instead of Sirius Black, as our Secret-Keeper. The reason is that we know that Sirius would be the logical target. While Sirius keeps the death eaters busy, we should be safe under Peter's watch. However, if we're found and killed, we have provided for our son Harry.
To our good friend Sirius Black we leave one million Galleons, and the cottage near Newcastle to take care of our children.
To our good friend Remus Lupin we leave one million Galleons and order to buy a new wardrobe. We also leave him the cottage near Dover.
To our good friend Peter Pettigrew should he not betray us to Voldemort, we leave one million Galleons and the cottage in France near Paris. If he does betray us. He receives nothing from us.
To Dumbledore, we leave to you nothing because of your sudden obsession with our Son.
To Minerva Mcgonagall, I leave you my old Transfigurations book that contains my notes and spells.
"To my baby sister Chelsea who is living in the states. I leave two million dollars in cash for you as savings."
And everything else, We leave to our son Harry who shall be given our will when he reach eleven years of age. Inside the main vault, is a chest with all of our journals. Also in this chest, are several letters for our have also set up a trust fund for Harry starting at age one. We deposited ten thousand galleons in their vault. Every year until his majority, another ten thousand will be added. Therefore, if it's not touched by the time they turn eleven, they will have over one hundred thousand galleons in the account, not including accrued interest, for their school years.
As to guardianship of Harry James Potter, the following shall be the order of his guardians.
Sirius Orion Black: a good friend and godfather to Harry
Remus Lupin: a good friend
Alice and Frank Longbottom: good friends, Alice is Harry's godmother
Amelia Susan Bones: a good friend and coworker.
Chelsea and Joel Miller…Chelsea is James younger sister and Harry's aunt . She lives in the United States since she is a Squib. .
As of no order is our son to be given to my Sister the Dursleys at all, they have no love for magic at all. At no time is Albus Dumbledore is to have magical guardianship of Harry. And not to be allowed to hold the potter seats in the Wizengamot. .

/end Will/
Harry however was a bit mad after reading the will. He had several other people who could have taken him in after his parents were killed and yet Dumbledore placed him with the Dursleys and yet he had another aunt and Uncle that live in the States.. "My parents' will was ignored. I was placed with the Dursleys"
"So it seems that Dumbledore has ignored the wishes of the late lord and lady potter," said Bloodtooth making a mental note to tell his boss Ragnok as soon as he was done with the meeting. Bloodtooth pulled out a sheet of parchment that glowed and a large dagger.
"What's the dagger for?" he asked.
"We need twenty-one drops of blood on the paper to find out your inheritance and abilities. Once we have the blood the wound will heal itself," Bloodtooth replied as he handed the dagger to Harry.
"Twenty-one?" Harry replied as he took the dagger and looked at it before slicing his palm.
Harry and Bloodtooth counted the drops of blood as they fell on the parchment. When the last one hit the cut in Harry's palm healed and they watched as writing appeared on the bold writing the words started appearing on the parchment.

Harry and Daphne looked at the list and the two were pissed at all the blocked abilities and the potions that were placed on Harry.
Reading the list once more, Harry looked at his account manager and asked, "Bloodtooth who could have blocked all these abilities and given me those potions; and what's a Horcrux?"
The look of anger on the Bloodtooth's face almost had Harry and Daphne running for the exit but Harry swallowed his fear as he was a Gryffindor so he waited for his account manager to answer him and his hand grabbed Daphne's hand.
Bloodtooth yanked the paper back and quickly read the results and growled. A dagger appeared in his left hand as if by magic and was hurled at the side door. With a thud, the heavy dagger dug into the sacred wood and a few seconds later the door flew open and another goblin stuck his head in.
Harry and the two greengrass sisters listened as Bloodthirst said something in the goblin language and as the door slammed shut after his account manager was finished speaking, and Daphne asked, "Sir, what was that about?"
Bloodthirst looked at the two humans and realized how unprepared he really was before answering him in words he would understand, "I am having the ritual chamber being prepared so we can have that abomination removed from your scar," Seeing the confusion on their face he clarified what he was talking about. "A horcrux is an abomination that was developed by the Egyptian Pharaohs to cheat death. So long as one survived they couldn't die until they died of old age. But we the Goblins have a way to find them all and send the trapped spirits to their just rewards. We shall remove the one in your scar, and find the others if the fool made more, and destroy them. It's our highest law."
"I see, I wonder if the diary was one in my second year," Harry mumbled.
The sharp hearing of the goblin caught what Lord Potter had said, and he asked, "What diary would this be?"
"In my second year, a student by the name of Ginny Weasley was slipped a diary by Lord Malfoy and it tried to take her over and made her release a thousand year old basilisk in the school. Several people were petrified by its stare before I killed it with a sword through its brain." Harry said
The look on Bloodtooth's face was priceless, because not much shocked a goblin; but a twelve year old boy killing a thousand year old basilisk was one of them. The last time one was killed, was two hundred and thirty years before, in what is now called Albania. The parts from that one were running low.
"And what did you do with it?" asked Bloodtooth
Surprised by Bloodtooth's question he asked, "Do with what?"
"The corpse of the Basilisk?" asked Bloodtooth
"It's still in the chamber of secrets," Harry replied.
With a feral grin, Bloodthirst leaned forward and said, "You do know that since you killed it, it's yours to do with as you wish?"
Confused, Harry asked, "What do you mean."
"Do you know how big it was?"
"About thirty meters," Harry replied.
"It would be worth several million galleons to your coffers," Bloodtooth replied as he sat back with another grin, "minus our cut… or I should say my cut."
"How would we go get it? It's not like Dumbledore would allow me to travel to Hogwarts to get it. Besides you'd need a Parselmouth to get into the Chamber of Secrets," Harry replied.
"Do you think you're the only Parselmouth in the world? We have several goblins that speak it. Now can you tell me how to get it? I will have a contract written up on disposition of the corpse." said Bloodtooth
"Wouldn't it have rotted away?" Harry had to ask as he knew it was two years ago that he killed it as Bloodtooth stood up and went over to a filing cabinet and opened it.
"A beast that size won't start decaying for a long time. Its flesh and blood would be instant death to microscopic organisms until the magic seeped out of the body," Bloodtooth replied as he pulled out sheet of parchment and walked back to the desk where he set it down in front of his client, "This is a standard rendering form, for class fifty creatures. As you can see, we will split the cost 80/20 and you will receive, in addition to the gold, some of the usable items for potions and armor. We will not know how much we will get until we check the market or we can go with a fixed amount. If you wish to go that way, I will offer you from my clan's coffers…" Bloodtooth stopped talking and did some quick arithmancy and then added, "Seven point four three million galleons."
Harry wanted to whistle but instead he said as he thought of the people affected by the snake., "Deal. But! I want one million of the galleons divided among the people affected by the snake. Each getting an equal share."
"Agreed. Do you have a list of the people who were affected?" Bloodtooth asked as he turned the form around and started filling it out.
Harry pulled out a fountain pen and a notebook he had in his pocket and started listing each person who had been petrified by the snakes stare and then added Filch for twenty thousand galleons as well for his cat, "One of the people who was affected by the snake was Myrtle Malone now called Moaning Myrtle. She was killed back in the forties. I am not sure if she has any family but I would like you to find out if possible. She was a muggleborn, and Riddle killed her with the snake."
"Who is Riddle?" Bloodtooth asked in confusion.
"Tom Marvolo Riddle is the true name of Voldemort. He changed it because he didn't want anyone to know his father was a muggle, and his mother was a squib," Harry replied and then added, "It's an anagram."
"I see," Bloodtooth said, "Now how do we get to the corpse?"
Harry quickly gave the instructions on how to get to the snake, and the passwords. He asked that they not tell Dumbledore where he was, and was quickly assured that they wouldn't as it was bank business. Harry then went over his audits and statements with Daphne and his heart instantly shattered when he read the paper.
/Potter vaults Audit./
Potter Main Vault-10,000,000,000worth of Galleons, Sickles and Knuts , Potter Family pensieve and books.
Harry's Trust vault-100,000
50,000 galleons pulled out by Albus Dumbledore and Molly Weasley
10,000 Galleons transferred to Ron Weasley, Hermoine Granger and Molly Weasley Vault.
/end Potter vaults./
/'They took money from him! Those fucking bastards!/ Daphne thought.
"They never really was my friends...they only cared about the money" Harry said with a lone tear falling down his face.
"Harry, i think they had this planned for a long time...Weasley lied to you when he said no other compartments were empty when there were plenty of them." She said.
Harry could only just start breaking down and Daphne wrapped her arms around her boyfriend. Bloodtooth was furious at what he had read from the audits. How dare the headmaster steal from an orphaned boy and to reject his family's path. He then summoned a small box which contained several rings for Harry. "These are your rings, wear them at all times and people will know of your status in our world." The twins put on the rings and they watched as they merged into one Gold Ring with six gemstones. A White Diamond, An Onyx, Grey Diamond, Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald were around a golden P. On one side of the ring was a Snake and a Lion while the other side had another P for Peverell and B for Black.
"Lord Potter-Black, Gryffindor-Slytherin-Peverell -Evans" said Bloodtooth bowing his head to the two.
"Can we stick with Potter please or by my first names, sorry if i'm being rude" Harry said, not wanting to be referred to by all those titles.
"As you wish Harry, ." said Bloodtooth chucked. All Potters hated being called Heir or lords unless it was during a meeting. Harry then went over the rest of his audits with Blood tooth and cut off Dumbledore and Molly by changing the key to Harry's vault. Harry wouldn't push for compensation for the thefts to his trust vault but he decided to drop it unless Dumbledore pushed it. If he did, then full restitution would be demanded. He also ordered Bloodtooth to empty all of his vaults into trunks and he would take all of it with him to the states since Magical America uses Gnomes instead of Goblins. Harry was then taken down to the Ritual Chamber to be ready to remove the horcrux from his scar as well as the blocks on his body by the Goblin healer Rune. Bloodtooth held back Astoria The ritual chamber was a small room with several Goblin healers setting up the room. One goblin who was the healer Rune spoke.
"Lord Potter, I have the results of your abilities test that Account Manager Bloodtooth did on you. With the help of Miss Greengrass, we will remove the Horcrux first out of your scar and then the blocks on your magic. I will then do a complete physical on you and assign you potions that you will take every day until I discontinue them. Do you understand?"
"Yes, Ma'am," Harry replied and then asked, "What do you need me to do?"
Hanging him a loincloth she said, "I need you to strip, and put this on. Then come back in here and lay on the runic bed."
Harry took the cloth behind the screen that Rune had pointed to and removed all his clothes. It took a few minutes for him to figure out how to tie the loin cloth and with a blush he stepped out from behind the screen and he was looking right at Daphne and saw the shock on her face. "So many scars." she muttered. She knew her boyfriend lived with abusive muggles but to see so many scars on his body made her feel sick.
He sat on the runic bed and then laid down. He was looking at Daphne and he saw the tears at the corner of her eyes, "It's ok."
Daphne shook her head and replied, "No it's not. No one should be treated the way you have been."
Harry reached out and squeezed her hand as Rune stepped over holding a bowl in her hand.
"Lord Potter, I am going to be painting some runes on your body so we can remove the horcrux from you. It will take about fifteen minutes with the help of my brethren. When finished, Miss Greengrass will lay her hands together on your chest over your heart while Bonecrusher will stand at your head with his hands holding your head still. I'll be at your feet holding them while I chant the removal curse. We will then direct the curse into a prepared item and that item will be used to find the others. Do you have any questions?"
"How long will it take?" Harry asked.
"About an hour. Sometimes more, sometimes less. We shall see," a goblin by the name of Bonecrusher replied.
"Then let's do this," Harry said and Bonecrusher started painting runes on his body.
The runes were made from a silverish mixture that kind of looked like unicorn blood, and he would have been right if he had known. It was freely given blood meant for this one thing: to destroy horcruxes. Unicorns are the personification of light as the horcruxes are for the dark. The runes started at his feet and went up his legs to his belly, to his chest down both arms and hands which were in rope loops that ran under the bed. More runes were painted on his neck, face and forehead and then they were finished. Rune positioned Daphne's hands over his heart and then stepped to the wall and she along with Thorncrusher took their places.
"Miss Greengrass, whatever you do. Don't let go," Bonecrusher said and before he started chanting Harry noticed runes on Daphne's arms as well.
Pain. That was all Harry knew for the next seventy minutes as they fought to pull the horcrux out of his scar. Pain so severe that his body arched up off the bed even with Daphne's hands pressed to his chest trying to hold him down. Then with a final bout of excruciating pain, his body dropped back to the bed and the foreign soul was yanked out of his skull and deposited inside the goblin made compass that was going to be used to point to the rest of Tom Riddle's soul anchors.
During the whole time, tears were running down Daphne's face. Not because she loved him; but because of the pain he was going through. When it was finished she almost collapsed but Bonecrusher caught her and helped her to a chair. He handed her a pepper up potion. As the steam came out of her ears, Rune moved in and was working on a very magically depleted Lord Potter. Within minutes, his energy was going up as the healer fed him pepper ups and then Bonencrusher moved back in and started removing the bindings on Lord Potter's magic because being magically depleted it wouldn't hurt as much. After another fifteen minutes both curse breakers had collapsed in chairs at either end of the runic bed where they two took the pepper up potions to rebuild their energy.
"Will he be ok?" Daphne asked.
"He will be fine Miss Greengrass. All he needs now is rest. In a few minutes we will have him transported to the medical room where he will recover." said Bonecrusher motioning for two goblins to move Lord Potter to the medical bay. The goblins moved Harry to the medical bay and Daphne followed them to the medical bay where they put Harry in one of the empty beds and she too was feeling tired.. Bonecrusher looked at her before he replied. "You best get some sleep as well, miss greengrass. your energy levels are just as low as Lord Potters."
"I think i will" she said before she crawled next to her boyfriend and her side of the bed she slid under the covers and checked on Harry and saw he was some pajamas provided by gringotts and all the runes were gone and that's when she noticed the ones that had been on her arms were gone as well. Settling down with her head on his chest she listened to his heartbeat and then knew no more as sleep took her.
four hours later a goblin popped in and woke the two up. Handing them a vial each, she said, "Bloodtooth and Rune said you were to drink these and come to his office for dinner.."
"Thank you, we will be right there," Daphne said as she shook Harry awake and handed the potion to him.
Harry pressed his hand to his head and mumbled, "Did anyone get the plates of that lorry?" as something was pressed into his hand.
Looking down in his hand he saw a vial and opened it and then downed it. He felt the familiar feeling of steam come from his ears and his body seemed to respond to the potion. "Ahhh that's better," he said as he looked around and then asked, "Did it work?"
"It did, Harry; but you screamed in so much pain! I thought it was going to kill you then you lurched upwards in the middle of your body, this black mist came out of your scar and was sucked into something the goblins had by your head. Bonecrusher said it was gone and then they removed all the blocks on your magic," Daphne replied and then she hugged her boyfriend
Harry wrapped his arms around Daphne and just held her as she cried. Her thin frame shook in his arms so he started running his hand up and down her back as he whispered that he was ok and everything would be better now. Eventually the tears subsided and she released him so he did the same.
"I need to clean up. I'm a mess… I'm always a mess if I cry," Daphne said as she went towards the bathroom.
"Daphne, you're not a mess. You're as pretty as the day I first saw you four year ago during our sorting"
Daphne turned and smiled, "Thank you."
The Goblin healer pointed to two bathrooms the two of them can use to change into their street minutes later the bathroom door opened and Daphne came out wearing a bathrobe and quickly picked out clean clothes to wear. She put on a pastel blouse and skirt that highlighted her eyes and then he offered her his arm and they headed towards Bloodtooth's office. Once back at Bloodtooth's office. He had dinner ready for the two. Astoria was sitting in the office having already ate. Harry and Daphne ate in silence when Rune came back into the room .She did a quick scan of the two. 'Miss greengrass will have her full strength back by tomorrow while Lord Potter will have full strength in about thirty six hours.
"Lord Potter what will you do now? Asked Bloodtooth.
"For now i just want to get away from Britain and Dumbledore. After all that old coot has done to me. I can't and will not go back to Hogwarts. Maybe look for my aunt Chelsea." said Harry,
Bloodtooth then pulled out a small piece of Parchment before he waved his claw in front of it. "Unfortunately my lord, your aunt Chelsea died from a car crash but your Uncle Joel who is your related uncle lives in Austin, Texas with your younger cousin Sarah who is currently twelve. She should be getting her letter about her magic soon,"
"Okay great." Said Harry taking the sheet which had his uncles address.
"I have already began to transfer all of your vaults into the trunks as you have requested. It shall be done within the hour."
An hour passed before Harry was handed a five trunks which contained his inheritance. Harry and the two greengrass sisters were ready to leave the bank.
"Your flight leaves at 7 tonight..I will advice you get some new clothes" said Bloodtooth.
"I agree.. he needs some clothes fitting a lord of his house." Said Daphne with a smile.
/oh boy/thought Harry. Bloodtooth handed them a small boot. "This portkey will take you to the airport. Once you get to your uncles house and fully settled. We will take it from there."
"I cannot thank you enough Bloodtooth for helping us out…,we owe you one." Said Harry offering his hand to the goblin who shakes it, " consider it makeup for allowing Dumblefore to get away with what he did. You leave him and those thieves to us."
Harry nodded before he, Daphne and Astoria left the bank after the goblins gave them a disguise to get away from Diagon Alley and into the streets of London. The two girls wasted no time and dragged him to find a nearest clothes store.
For the next three hours Harry felt he must have changed clothes over a hundred times as robes, shirts, trousers, jeans, jumpers, coats, hats, boots, shoes, belts, swimwear, underwear, male jewellery, watches, colognes, hair products and he forgot what else was brought to him to try on. Some only made it as far as being held to his chest for shirts or his waist for pants before it was discarded; some he managed to don before he was told to strip it back off and it was discarded. However, the pile of what was considered acceptable grew, though not as fast as the pile of discards. Or, the pile the discards would have made if they weren't being constantly removed and taken back out back.
By the third hour, Harry was almost an automaton. Without a word of complaint or approval - which he realised was ignored, anyway, during the first hour - he was constantly in and out of the change booth. At one time, Daphne joined him in the booth;.
Finally, Daphne sighed and said, "I think we're done."
"Oh, thank God," Harry groaned, to which Astoria laughed.
"Now it's my turn" said Daphne.
"Huh?" Said Harry,.
You need to see what it is I'd like and for you to give your approval," explained Daphne.
"Daph, I have already learned... over the past three hours... that my opinion is neither needed or matters," he explained with a near whine. "Why do you want to hear it now?"
"Because it's how it's done!" replied Daphne, as if speaking to a small child. Harry pouted before he took a seat next to Astoria who grinned. For the next thirty minutes. Harry was treated to his own runaway with Daphne trying on different muggle clothes and to swimsuits. Harry used the money he had to pay for all of the clothes he and Daphne bought.
When it turned six o clock. They appeared in an alley that had a permanent notice me not cast on it, that allowed them to arrive and walk into the airport where they headed for British Airways terminal to check in.
Harry stopped and looked around for hopefully the last time to see the United Kingdom until the war was over and both Voldemort and Dumbledore were gone.
"What's wrong love?" Daphne asked.
"Just looking around at our former home and what this means," Harry replied.
"It means a new life for us," Daphne said as she kissed him on the cheek.
Harry looked at Daphne and smiled, "Your right."
Turning he looked once and said, "fuck your Dumbles. You and this war, my family has paid enough. Come on love we have a flight to catch."
Daphne smiled and picked up the handle of her carry on and they walked to the boarding terminal where they were escorted onto the plane and into first class.
