It is surprising what one can find when they look through their families belonging. Especially him, considering most of his family is buried and in the ground. The only living family he has here wants him dead. The hardest thing to do was to sneak away from the black ansectoral house while everyone was sleeping.
The goblins were very generous to let him into his family vault, and to take care of other matters for him. So he began searching through the vault. He moved past paintings, amazing furniture, and more things that would have a museum caretaker drooling.
He found what he felt he needed to find. It is a book. The thing is not too thick, about five inches. The pages were made of animal skin, and looks like they have been well taken care of. The leather that binds the book together looks like it has seen better days. Before he would be caught, he snuck out of gringotts and back to the black ansectoral home.
Then he started reading. He had no idea what the language is, it read like English. However, in his mind he knew that it was not.
Apparently, his family is not from this world. Apparently, they were a small clan of magic users in another dimension. They would travel city to city, helping those in need. However, one days these giant human like beast appeared. They appeared to enjoy the taste of human flesh. That is all they ate. However, they did not do the same to the magic users.
The magic users became the pets of these titans. The titans killed a few by not minding their strength. Apparently, they are not very smart, but they know to listen to a magic user when they have needs. He finds it weird that they would be treated like that.
Hopefully, all the titans have died off by now. Maybe now, he could go to a place where he would not have to fight in a war. Maybe just maybe.
As more time went of, the more he began to think about the place where the titans roamed. He just wanted to be a place where he did not have to deal with backstabbing friends, a stalker, and that man. Even when school started, he was thinking about this place.
That is when he would hide away in the come and go room. He just needed a place where he could be free. The book said that if one comes back all must come back. He could not do that to the people here. He could not tear them from their homes. Even if most of them are slytherins
Of the seventy-six members who came here from that world, only six families remain.
His family through his father's side, apparently they were the clan heads. It was their job to keep everyone together, and safe. His ancestor would be the cook and make sure the titans would allow their pets to use their basic functions. Mostly, like making sure they could use the bathroom, eat, sleep, drink, and other things. Apparently, the titans can only function during the day, so his ancestor had to make sure that they were all safe at night.
The healers of the group left only one line. It would be there job to heal anyone who is hurt, especially if the titans accidentally hurt them. While the titans can heal almost immediately, they can not. The last of this line is Severus Snape. Yes, the snarky potions master of slytherin is one of the descendants from this other world. Apparently, the book has a self updating linage tree.
The Malfoys are another example. They were growers. They would grow the food that they needed to live. While this lines go to Draco through his father, his mother is another factor. Considering his father is the son of a black, apparently it goes through that line. So he is related to the Malfoys and Bellatrix. What a horrible thought. However, this means Serious would be with him still. It made him a little happy.
Next is the Longbottoms, which appears that Neville is the only true Longbottom left. His family mostly dealt with plants, apparently having a few Elementals in his line. It would not shock him one bit that it read that Neville is tired to the earth element. While not being a full elemental, he is pretty close to being one.
Luna Lovegood is descend from seers, it seems. Does not shock him very much. She always has her own way of doing things. Though her father is not one of the line, he has been added to the book. Apparently, when Luna's family was in muggle London, her dad got hit by a car. He needed a blood transfusion. Luna gave him her own blood, so he would live. So since the blood now flows through his veins, he is added onto the list.
The last family is the biggest family. The Weasleys, however there is something much different on here then what is known. Molly being the wife of Arthur, she is not on the list. Neither is Ginny or Ron. Apparently, those two are not true Weasleys. They may be Molly's children, but they are not Arthur's. No wonder their behavior is different than the rest of the redheads. Makes you wonder who their real father is?
There are sixteen people in total left from the bloodlines. It is really shocking that the bloodlines lasted this long. He kept reading through the book, before he came to the last page. What he saw made him feel weak. Oh no, what is this.
Large black numbers filled the tan page. The numbers changing constantly. The number Five is the largest. The next number is 12, which is not changing. Ten is the next number, wait it changed to nine. The numbers next to the ten are moving fast. It is a countdown! At the bottom of the page, it says that the very spell that sent them here had a time limit.
Fear flooded through his veins. He needed to warn the others, but how to do that!
0000000000000
He decided to write letters to every single person on the list. He did not write them as Harry Potter, but as the descendant of the head clan. This way, magic would make them open the letter. He did his best and contacted Gringotts. He made a deal with the goblins, they would get all this properties, but he gets all jewels, money, gold, and anything of value that is not materialistic. He gets books too. If the titans still exist, then it would be good to keep all reading material. He had told the others to do the same.
Apparently the goblins raided all of his houses to gather all of his books, gold, and gems. Apparently they found a lot of people living in his houses. Since the goblins now owned the houses, they were kicked out, and fined. That fine was huge. Apparently, the goblins gave him their vaults.
With word from his goblin friends, he found out that all of the others were preparing too. The Malfoys have sold their houses to the goblins, as long as they are allowed to live their until the spell ends. They made a lot of money selling off all their properties. They get to keep all their books too. Draco was warmed to be careful, apparently they do not have time left.
Luna and her dad sold her house, but put everything they own in trunks. Apparently they do not own much. Apparently Luna's dad refuses to leave his printing press behind, so he has it stashed on a featherlight charm in his shrunken trunk.
Arthur sold the burrow. Apparently, he is enraged that his two youngest are not his children. He plans on leaving molly with nothing. He contacted Lucius, who let him go to his ancestors home. The home was bargained over in a poker game. Apparently only a Weasley can enter. He was able to get a few heirlooms and the few books the place had.
Neville snuck to Gringotts, and made a strange deal. He was donating most of his money to St. Mungos, under the instruction that his parents be let go. He kept all his books though, and left a small cottage for his grandmother to live in for the rest of her days. He left the rest of his money for a pension.
It appears that Professor Snape can not prepare. Dumbledore his his inheritance on lock-down with the goblins. So Harry made a deal for him. He got the goblins to agree to get all of Severus Snapes family heirlooms, his books, journals, and so forth. Then he bought his a new trunk, which has a potions lab in it, and he bought out all the apothecary he could find. He has a garden set up so Severus can choose to grow his own ingredients. It took all of Severuss's money to that, but Harry out quite a bit of money in a room in his trunk for personal use.
The gold is in case they end up there and there is only human. If there are titans, then the gold is useless. Better safe than sorry.

The day came and he could tell that everyone is nervous. Snape is being nice to everybody in class. Neville is jumping more than usual. Draco looks very pale. The twins have been holding each others hands all day. Luna was as calm as a bee in a meadow.
The seconds were zooming by. He did not dare look at the book. He didn't want to look. Only ten minutes left. Ten minutes. Time seems to be slowing down.
"Harry," said Hermione, her tone seemed to be annoyed. Why is she annoyed? Oh, he has not been talking to them much now. They must be wondering what stuff he is up too.
"Hem. Hem," said Umbridge, taking the center, where Dumbledore's podium usually stands on opening night. Her sickly pink dress can not even make him feel any more worried that he already is.
"I want to know about this countdown. Apparently, whispers have been everywhere about families going away. The Ministry has tracked the original letter back to this school. Does anyone want to confess," she said in a sickly sweet tone. God, he hated her. She really has to do this right now. When they have eight minutes left. Wait, it is now seven. Best keep his mouth shut right now. He did not need to cause. He looked at Ron and Hermione. They look so confused. Ginny, who is sitting next to him, decided to put her hand on his leg. Wither it was meant to be supporting or sexual, he did not care. He just wanted to get her away from him! He grabbed her hand and shoved it off. Her face contorted in anger, and using her right hand, she tried to move his hands towards his area. He instantly shoved her off.
She ended up tumbling on the floor. Everyone in the hall is now staring at him. Ron stood up across from him, his handed fisted in anger. "How dare you treat my sister that way," snapped Ron, glaring at him. Six minutes left. Should he stay silent? No! He is going to speak up!
"I wouldn't have to shove your sister off if she would just keep her hands to herself. She has been trying to molest me for weeks. You are all fine with that, because apparently you think I am going to marry her someday. News flash! I do not like your sister! I will marry her," he snarled back, snarling back at wrong.
He has stayed silent for way too long. Ron's face went as red as the richest blood. "You have to, you the boy who lived. You have to follow the plan," snapped Ron at him. The plan Dumbledore has, he already knew it. Apparently the goblins have a lot of help, and were able to get him the prophecy, which turns out is a complete fake.
"The plan where I fight Voldemort while the rest of you cower in fear, with you head down in fear. You guys are nothing but cowards. Not a single one of you are willing to fight for your lives, and that is the reason why he will win," snarled Harry, slamming his hands on the table.
"The prophecy," started before the redhead is on the ground, hold his head in pain. Harry returned his hand to his side. He has been wanting to punch Ron for years. "Listen here Ron, I know what the prophecy says, and guess what. The prophecy is fake. It was created by Dumbledore as a trap for Voldemort. I don't have to anything," said Harry. It felt so good to finally speak his mind.
"Harry," started Hermione.
Three minutes left.
"Do not even start with me. Do you really think that I am that stupid. I have known for years that you and Ronald have been spying on me for Dumbledore. You were getting paid by my family inheritance. Well no more. I am not going to take your shit anymore," Harry snapped.
Click. Click. Clank.
Harry looked over to see Umbridge smiling at him. He stared at her, as she gave him a look that spoke of the enjoyment she is having right now. She just stared. He really hope that if there are titans in this realm he is going to, they do not look like her.
One minute left.
Harry looked at her, before looking up at the fake ceiling. He is going to miss this place, which has been a home to him all these years. He is going to miss the halls, the ghost, and the winding staircase
."Thirty seconds," he said.
"What, Mr. Potter," said Umbridge, she started at him with those eyes. He looked back down at her, and have her the first true smile that he has given in years.
"Goodbye," he said. Three, two, and one.
Then the world faded around him. There was nothing but blackness. However, he could feel the others. He could sense their presences. He wanted them with him. He felt his magic spread out, before he is surrounded by several people. He can not see them, only feel them.
0000000000000
Green surrounded him. Luscious green and brown soon formed into trees. They could smell the fresh air. A groan escaped him, before he sat up. He looked over the small field of green they are in to see the other people staring at him. Well, one is glaring.
Bellatrix looks pissed at him. The fury rolls off her likes flames off an over. Her face so red a tomato seem a pale pink. The others on the ground quickly backed off from the insane woman, Apparently, they could feel it too. She felt like a threat to them. To the Clan.
What has his attention is not the enraged female but what is behind her. A large humanoid male with no sex organ stood watching them. The thing screamed creepy at him. The things attention was on him. A shout came from Bellatrix. Then the thing, no the titan moved. Where Bellatrix stood is now a foot. The woman was crushed.
"May I speak with my clan before we are claimed," he asked Titan. The Titan seemed to understand him, before a small nod of the head gave him his answer. He pulled out the shrunken trunk that he had made for Severus.
"Now listen here, We need to find a place where we can be safe at night. I know all of you are scared, but the Titan will not intentionally hurt us. If they are hurting you, tell them. They may not be able to speak but they can understand. They will be slow to understand some time. Every evening while they are at their weakest, we will be together," he told them. They all nodded at him. He knew that they could feel it, the feeling of the pack.
"Another thing you should know, when your titan wishes to claim you, he will bring you up to his forehead. They will kill you if you do not accept," he said looking into the eyes of all his clan members. The blue, brown, and black eyes filled with understanding and confusion.
"Po...how do we accept," asked Draco, his head tilting to the side in confusion. Another side effect of being a pet to the Titans is that they will look young and cute. He coud tell that everyone here has lost a few years. Lucius looks twenty years old. Narssica looks about twenty-one. Severus, Arthur, and Sirius look about eighteen. The twins look about fourteen. Bill, Percy, and Charlie look about seventeen.
"You kiss them on the forehead. We will speak more tonight. For now, we shall get you claimed, and with your Titans," said Harry before he heard a hiss from the thing behind him. He knew what the creatures liked to be called. Damn it, he never wanted to call anyone that.
"With your masters," said Harry quickly. The purr that escaped the titan left shocked looks on all of his clan members faces. He snapped his fingers, fifteen objects appeared around him.
"What in the bloody hell are those," was shouted.
