Ch 1.

The world was a desolate place. Magic was disappearing. Humans with no magic had discovered the world of magic, and had decided that magic must be destroyed. A lot of individuals were dying because of this. People didn't realize that magic was needed in order to keep the world alive. The humans were afraid of the magicals, so they did what anyone else would do in this situation, destroy those that they found inhuman. The magicals were going into hiding because of all of this, some of them were doing more than this though, one such person was Harry Potter, who was well over three hundred years old, due to being bit by a vampire at the age of twenty. He and a group of magicals were trying to discover a way to go back in time before the muggles learned about magic, and maybe stop the muggles from destroying them all. Potter also had a second motive that was driving him as well. Ever since Albus Dumbledore had died, he had felt incomplete, not quite right. His magic always sang whenever Albus was near, and he knew this on a primal level. So now he wanted to go back in time in order to get Albus back. He also wanted to bind Albus to him so that way he couldn't escape him. He knew about him and Gellert, and he was jealous, very jealous. He thought that since Albus would never love him, that he would do the next best thing. So now with his forever best friend Herminie's, who was also over three hundred years old, due to recovering the philosophers stone, after the flamels died, and some others help, on trying to figure out a way to travel through time, they were on the verge of finding the answers to the mystery after one hundred years of study. As they were looking through books someone came running in with the answer, the last piece of the puzzle if you will. "Hey look" said one person, "I found something" Harry looked up and quickly took the book out of the guys hands, with vampire like speed, he read through it, and smiled. This was the last piece to the ritual that they had been looking for. He was so excited that he started getting the gitters. He showed it to Herminie, and she nods after reading it. Sadly they would only be able to send one person back in time. Once people heard this, they started arguing on who would be the one to go back. The question was taken out of their hands, however, when there was an explosion that rocketed the building. The muggles had found them. So now they all ran, Harry grabbing Herminie, and making a speedy retreat, leaving the rest behind, not having the time to save them all nor really wanting to, knowing that this timeline was on the verge of destruction anyways. So sadly the muggles who surrounded the building, killed all the magicals that were inside. The only reason Harry and Herminie got away was because of Harry's vampire speed. So when Harry thought they were safe, they started the ritual right away, it required a sacrifice, so Herminie volunteered to be it, Harry hated the idea, but there was nothing either of them could do about it. So as the ritual commenced Herminie felt her life force drifting away. It required a lot of blood; Harry was in the middle of what was known as a pentagon. It took all of Herminie, everything that made her, her. Once the ritual was over she was reduced to nothing, and the pentagon glowed red, then Harry felt like he got slammed through a meat grinder. He screamed, he screamed until he lost consciousness.

When Harry awoke he found himself in a forest, he was a bit groggy, but he got his bearings back pretty quickly. It took him a few minutes to figure out what had happened, but once he remembered, he smiled. It had worked; he was back in the past. He looked at himself, He still had his clothes on, but they were a bit shredded, so he would need to get some new ones, he had made it in one piece though. He then started to wonder where he was at, so he looked around again, and then decided it would be best to apparate to muggle London, so he did. Once he got there, he went into the leaky cauldron, he was shocked that no one was paying him any attention, but then he remembered that he wasn't the Harry Potter from this world. So then he went and looked around for a newspaper. Once he found one, he looked at the date, it was October 31st 1981. Right when he was taken to the Dursleys by Dumbledore, right when his parents were killed. That's just two of the things he would make Dumbledore pay for. So, he decided that he was going to get himself away from there, and raise him himself, as soon as he finds logging, and other things that are needed for taking care of a child. First he needed to go to Gringotts, so that he may have the financial part out of the way. So as soon as he makes his way into diagon ally, he heads straight for the bank. Once he is in the bank he goes straight to a teller, and asks for an inheritance test. The goblin looks down at him, sneers, gets out of his chair, and tells him to follow. When they get to a room, the goblin takes a piece of parchment, and a dagger, and tells Harry to drop three drops of blood on the parchment. Harry complies, and the parchment starts to fill up with information. Harry smiles when he sees what the parchment has to offer.

Harry just smiled as he went down the list, once he was through reading it, he gave it to the goblin, and the goblin started to splutter. It took him a minute to regain his Barings, but once he did, he called in a goblin, and spoke to it in gobbledegook. Harry pretended not to listen, but he knew the language, and listened in. He politely waited until they were done talking, then he asked if there was a problem, the goblins then spoke in English, and told him that he was now there richest customer and that he would be taken to Ragnuk, the goblin king. Harry then followed the goblins into another room, where they made him wait for around twenty minutes or so. The goblins had to get him an emergency audience, and when they did, they dragged him into Ragnuk's room, which when Harry looked around, noticed that it was filled to the brim with guards and wealth. The goblin king was definitely making a very good and intimidating impression. He guessed in order to be the goblin king, you kind of had to. There was silence for a minute before the king finally spoke. He and Harry had a long discussion about his new status, and about how wealthy he now was. They also discussed the lordship rings, and the fact that he now had five of them, and one heir ring. Harry was then given the lordship and heir rings, which all combined on the right hand ring finger. They were then charmed invisible, and then the goblins surprised Harry, with the fact that they knew that he had to be a time traveler, because they knew that Harry Potter was only a baby. The goblins wanted answers, and since they cooperated with Harry so far, they thought it was only fair if he did the same for them. So Harry told them about his horrible past, and how he wanted to change it for the better. How he wanted the muggles to never discover the wizirding world again, that the disaster that it would cause would be horrifying if they did, and how he wanted to save his younger self from growing up with the dursleys. The goblins took some time drinking in the words that Harry meaningfully threw at them. The passion in his words was what got them understanding that this wasn't just some sort of sick joke. Harry even told the goblins that they had been wiped out by the muggles, throwing bombs and grenades into their caves, and the atomic bomb that went off in the middle of them. It was a nightmare waiting to happen. The goblins didn't know what an atomic bomb was, but the way Harry was describing it, they didn't really want to find out either. So the goblins decided to throw their lot in with Harry, they and their king decided that Harry might be the only way for the wizarding world to survive. That Harry coming to the past might be what makes the difference between a vibrant wizarding world, and a deceased one. So there next order of business was visiting the vaults. The goblins took Harry to each and every vault he owned, Harry removed a million galleons out of one of his vaults and put it in a bottomless and feather light bag, so that he wouldn't have to come back for awhile. He also looked at artifacts, and books, and other stuff that was in his vaults. He even found himself a wand that he could use that sang and released sparks when he touched it, choosing him as it's wizard. Once he was satisfied with his exploration of his vaults, they left the vaults, and went back into Ragnuks room. When they finally got there, Ragnuk had Harry sit down, so that they could get back to business. Ragnuk realized that Harry couldn't go running around with the name Harry Potter, because that would raise to many alarms, so Ragnuk had drawn up papers, and filled them out, creating a new identity for Harry. All Harry had to do now was to pick out a name. Harry read through everything quickly with speed that no human should have. He then picked out a name, calling himself James Evens. He thought that that would hopefully not stand out too much. So once they got the papers finalized, the goblin king singed it, one stack of papers going straight to the ministry, and one set staying with Harry, while another stayed with the goblins, making the name official. So now James Evens had one more piece of business left with the goblins, and that was housing. Where would James stay? The goblins pulled up several documentations, and they went over them. There were a lot of options for him to choose from. However, James wanted to be as close to his parents as possible, so he chose the Potter Ancestral manor, where his parents, and grandparents, and so on, lived before him. The goblins then provided James with a portkey so that he may find the location to his ancestral home, password being Potter Ancestral Home. As soon as business was concluded with the goblins, James grabbed the portkey, along with a few goblins, and they were transported to the Potter Manor Property, the goblins coming along in order to make sure the place was safe, and to update the wards if needed. When they arrived, they looked around, it was dark outside, around 8pm if Harry had to guess, and very foggy at that. Finally they made there way to the gates, which required James blood in order to open them, went inside and looked around, the castle was beautiful, Harry and the goblins stared at it for a full minute, drinking it in, before they headed on inside. Once inside, there were many pops, at least fourteen. They counted; there were fourteen house elves. The lead house elf spoke up right away. They were so happy to see a Potter again. Even though his name was Evens now, they somehow knew that he was a Potter by blood. The elves bowed to James, begging for work, and to be enslaved by James. They needed a new wizard to bond with so that they wouldn't die. James agreed immediately, and bonded with all of the house elves. He then told them to make this place livable again. They agreed immediately, going about their jobs, cleaning everything up to make the place a palace that a king could live in. The goblins went to work repairing and putting up the best wards that money could buy. Harry took his time exploring the place, seeing the pictures of his ancestors on the walls, looking at all floors, the bed rooms, the kitchen, the library, the dining room, etc. He was mightily impressed, especially with the library; he knew he was going to spend time in there. He finally found the master bedroom, and looked around. He found a picture of his parents, on one of the bedside tables. He studied it for a few minutes, just thinking about what ifs. He wanted a family, but he never truly had one. He was over three hundred and fifty years old, and he never had a real family, its kind of sad really. He vowed here and now to claim what was his, he would bind Dumbledore to him if it were the last thing he did. He wondered what he would do with Dumbledore afterwards. Probably things sexually related, against his will if he must. He would keep this to himself of course. He didn't want anybody finding out after all. He snapped out of his daze when a house elf popped in next to him. James looked around for a second, and realized where he was after a minute, he then told the house elves to leave this room alone, to not touch anything here. That it was special to him, and he wanted it to stay the way it was. The house elf complied. They both left the room afterwards, James keeping the picture, and going back to the front of the house. The Goblins were just about finished up when James made it back. He heard the goblins speaking in Gobbleegook, saying that the wards were up to par, and that they put up everything that they could think of to keep people that James didn't want there, out. They spoke to James then and told him just that. Afterwards James thanked them for a job well done, and the goblins left. Harry now alone, looked around, and just started wondering around the place again, noticing that the house elves had already made some progress. He decided to go out now to buy some actual clothes now that he had money, and then go and get Harry. He wanted to look presentable to the dursleys, so that way it would hopefully be easier to get what he wanted, if that didn't work, then he would just shove his wand in there faces, and force them to sign the adopted papers that way. Right now though, he just wanted to get some sleep. Tomorrow he would go get Harry, and some new clothes. He should also make Harry his heir, so that way if he somehow died, which was unlikely, due to him being a vampire, Harry would be taken care of.
