Chapter 1: The Beginning
But as so many have said before this was not the end, but the start of something new...
The small space seemed impossibly smaller now that I was older and slightly larger. It didn't help that I was now used to open space having spent nine blessed months each year of the past three away from this place.
Though uncle Vernon had moved me to Dudley's second room right before my first year when I received my Hogwarts letter he decided while I was away that I no longer deserved the space. Not that it mattered. The room was in use anyway.
Vernon and Petunia both cheated. Vernon got the woman preggers and she died in childbirth, leaving Vernon another son. Petunia had twin girls with her lover, who ran off when he heard the news.
The babes are lucky to be alive. It seems they are like me - 'freaks' - wizards. Of course my dear relatives blame me. The children are only alive because they refuse to kill their own blood. Good to know the Dursleys' have some consciousness. They haven't even named them. It's 'Baby Boy' and 'the Girls'.
I'm their nanny now that I'm here. I'm locked away at night though- it's the only time Petunia ever goes near them. I don't mind. I love the three. Even though I'm only thirteen (almost fourteen) I see them as my own children, I just haven't decided what I'll call them.
Even though I have the three in my life I still slip up some nights. My tiny mattress is now housed on top of my trunk within my hovel under the stairs. Locking me in with my trunk I now have access to my potions knife. I use it to mark my skin. I'm making sure I can still feel. That I'm still alive...
I know I need help, that I need to stop. I have three little ones counting on me now that I need to think of. I don't plan to stay here much longer. As soon as the Dursleys are all gone for the day I'm taking the tykes and running. My first stop will be Gringotts. I have to find a place to live and hopefully the goblins will help me.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~four days later~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I hold the little boy to me as he nurses from the small bottle I'm feeding him. I plan to adopt him and his sisters at Gringotts and name them. I'm going to blood adopt them. That way the Dursleys can never claim them again. Not that they would, but just to be safe.
The little boy wails. I smile down at him and easily shift his tiny body so I can burp him. Just two more hours and then the house will be empty. Then we'll run. I had a lot of spells placed on my trunk last summer. Wizard space extensions. Multiple compartments. Shrinking at the tap of my wand. Password protection. I'm glad I did now. I have already packed it. I've placed everything of ours in, including the trunks I found shrunk and hidden in the attic. They have my parents initials and one has my own initials.
Now all we have to do is wait. These hours will pass by too agonizingly slow. I finish burping Baby Boy and change him. I've already fed and changed his sisters. I change him as well before laying him down on the cot beside the Girls. Best to have them ready to go now so we don't waste time.
Thankfully all three children are still tiny and well behaved. I can fit both girls in a kangaroo pouch and Baby Boy fits I a back carrier. The trunk is already shrunk and in my pocket. Now all that is left is waiting.
The house is silent except for snuffles from the sleeping girls strapped to my chest. Baby Boy is awake and alert on my back. He seems to sense the need for silence, for stealth. He doesn't make a sound. The Dursleys left twenty minutes ago.
Taking a deep breath I don my father's cloak and disappear out the door. I run quickly to the park thirty minutes away. Lifting my wand I summon the Knight Bus. I quickly remove the cloak and stuff it into a pocket as I wait. The crack of its arrival startles the little boy clutching at my hair. He yanks at it in his fright hard. It brings tears to my eyes. I shake off the feeling as Stan asks where I'm going.
I give him a random address in London. Once there I plan to make my way through Muggle means (walking) to the Leaky Cauldron. That way is safer, I won't be so easily tracked.
Stan asks about the babies. I ignore him. He still thinks my name is Neville. All the better. I spend my time shushing the Girls the entire ride. They obviously like the bus less than I do. Baby Boy doesn't seem to care. He fell asleep almost as soon as the bus began moving.
When the bus stops, it's outside The London Library. I decide to stop in there for awhile. I love to read, I just learned early that I'd be beat if I got better grades in anything than Dudley. So I pretend to be dumb. But I still read in secret, constantly learning.
Entering the library I make m way to the main desk. A young lady with spiky red hair and black horned glasses smiles at me.
"Darling, you need anything?" She asks sweetly.
I smile weakly up at her. "I just started, with my younger siblings, living with my great-uncle in London. Mum and da died a few weeks ago..." My voice drops in sadness. "I've always been homeschooled. Uncle wants me to continue that. He said I should come get a card. I love to read. He's in a business meeting right now down the street. Can I...?"
She smiles sadly at me. Pity I hate pity...even if it is a fake story. "Sure thing doll. If yourat least thirteen we can get you a card."
"I'm almost fourteen" I inform her. She nodded and began to pull out forms. She helped me fill the, out and then got me mine nice shiny card.
"For the first year you can only check out fifteen at a time and the need to be back within three weeks. Go have fun."
"Thanks!" I chirped before skipping off to find books. I'm grateful all three babes are asleep right now so I can concentrate on finding books. I end up with the max. Three of them are on childcare. Four are on basic chemistry and human anatomy. Two are poetry books. Three are books on mythology. The last three are on the Muggle history of London. I'll have to find some magical history books as well and compare the accounts from the two worlds. I happily went to go check them out.
The librarian raised her eyebrows at the stack and the subject matter. "Sure you want these?"
I nodded. "I love to read. Especially if I can learn something new."
She beamed at me. "I wish more of your generation felt that way." She gave me two cloth bags to carry them. "Good luck sweetie, remember only three weeks till those books are due back."
Once I was back out on the street I slipped into the nearest alley, I shrinking my trunk to place the books inside before re-shrinking it. I got under my cloak again before heading out. The babies were getting fussy, I'd need to feed them soon.
By luck I found the Leaky not long after I began searching. I waited until someone was entering, slipping in unseen behind them. I quietly went to the back, waiting again until I could slip in behind someone into the entrance of the Alley. Thankfully I didn't have to wait too long.
I rushed straight for Gringotts once inside the alley. The Girls were crying quiet and Baby Boy was fisting my hair again, pulling at it in an attempt to get my attention. Hopefully the goblins would not mind me feeding them in the bank.
I was still underneath my cloak when i came before one of the goblins. "May your gold overflow, and your enemies perish at your hand." I murmured quietly, bowing. Goblins could see through all concealments within Gringotts so I did not bother to remove the cloak. It was the wizards around us that I hid from.
The goblin and the others close enough to hear my proper greeting froze in shock for a few moments before an smirk grew on the goblin's face. "Well met. And may your power ever grow and your enemies tremble before your magic." He lowered into a bow, returning the greeting.
I grinned up at him. "Sir I need to see the manager in charge of my accounts."
"Of course Master Potter. I am Hagnor. Come, follow me. I shall take you to Griphook." He rose from his high desk and led me away.
I followed behind, invisible. "Well met Friend Hagnor. Has wizard kind truly fallen so far that a proper greeting brings such shock?"
"No wizard since the time of the Founders has respected our kind, or that of any others. They are losing all the traditions that keep our magic pure and strong. Where did you learn of this young one?"
"I love to learn. I had no idea of the Magyk world before I received my letter. I have read as much as I could on the customs and traditions of this world. It is where I belong and so I will do what I need to become one with it."
Hagnor grinned at me. "You Master Potter shall shake this world awake. I can feel it." He then led me into a round office. A large desk sat before me. Three large black cushioned seats were in front of the desk, and one was behind. I sat on one of the chairs after removing Baby Boy from my back and the cloak from over me.
"Friend Hagnor would it be alright if I feed my children as I speak with Griphook?"
"Of course Master Potter. Talin!" An small house elf appeared before the goblin. "Retrieve a pop-up cot for Master Potter's babies and bring three bottles for them." The small creature disappeared only to reappear with a cot and the bottles. Hagnor nodded in approval. "I shall return with Griphook momentarily Master Potter. Talin can help you feed the children." He left.
"Here Talin, can you feed her?" I handed over the younger of the twins.
The elf's ears flapped with its frantic nodding. "Of course Masters Potter! I loves babes! Been so long since Is held a babes!" The little creature happily fed the bottle the the fussy girl, immediately calming her.
I grinned before taking a bottle to feed my own twin girl. Talin finished first and place the girl in the cot before switching to feed the boy. Just as my girl was finishing the door opened. Hagnor reentered with a goblin that was not Griphook. I cocked my head to the side in question.
"Griphook no longer works within these halls." The unknown goblin growled.
I nodded. I knew what that really meant, Griphook was dead. "May your gold overflow and your enemies perish at your hand." I greeted the goblin.
"Well met. And may your power ever grow and your enemies tremble before your magic. I am Ragnok, head goblin of the England Gringotts branch. Master Potter I must apologize for the wait. Hagnor wished to inform me of a wizard who came following tradition in greeting. I was curious and went with Hagnor to retrieve Griphook. We stopped to get your files before going to get him. As we went to him I looked over your files and was horrified to find that Griphook had allowed discrepancies, he allowed theft and illegal actions to be taken within your accounts. He has been dealt with accordingly. We wish to offer our services in retrieve all that was lost and taken." Ragnok explained gravely as he took the seat behind the desk.
"Peace Friend Ragnok. I see and bare witness that all shall be rectified. My gold lies within thy hands." I said softly. Taking a deep breath I looked up into his eyes. "I would like to assign Friend Hagnor to be my manager, if such goblin is willing." I turned to look at said goblin. He looked shocked at first but nodded in agreement.
"Master Potter Hagnor shall take over your accounts immediately. Now what did you come for today?" Ragnok asked.
"I came for quite a bit. I would like to take a blood heritage and magic heritage test. I would also like to take up any and all Heads of House positions I hold. As well as have a blood purifying ritual and magic cleansing ritual. I need to recieve a full check up on all things magic and muggle upon my body. Then I would like to blood adopt these three within the Nomen Dare Sanguinem Adoptionis (to give name blood adoption *latin, hopefully correct!)."
Ragnok nodded pleased with my plans. "Hagnor and I shall go to ready all things necessary. It will take more than a day. Are you willing to remain within the bank for the next few days?"
"I have nowhere to go. I accept your offer of sanctuary graciously." I murmur with a bow of my head. "Could I ask food of thee? I have not eaten all day." I did not receive a reply as Talin appeared with food immediately. I smiled at the elf. "Thank you servant of Magyk. Thy protection is blessed."
The small elf's eyes widened. "As Magyk speaks I serve. Ask of me and I shall bless thee." Talin drew himself up tall to return. He then bowed, leaving in a pop.
"I am so right Master Potter. You shall shake this world to its core." Hagnor chuckled darkly as he left with Ragnok.
I ate in silence as I began to think of who was taking from me. Or better, who had once been taking from me. The goblins had left me with a list of the discrepancies. It pained my heart. All my trust had been betrayed. I was alone among wizards.

I sobbed uncontrollably as I finished. All my trust, gone. All my family and friends, gone. I was alone. No! I was not. I had my children. I had the goblins. I had Talin. I had no need to useless cheating, lying wizards. They would pay!
