A New Life
Chapter 1
Harry was outside weeding the garden in the front. He had already done the backyard. He was glad to be almost done for the day. He knew if he didn't finish before his uncle came home, he would be beaten or worse. He wanted to leave this place but he had nowhere to go, that he knew of. In reality he was rich and had more homes then he knew what to do with. He was never told how rich he really was because Bumblebee wanted to control him. Bumblebee lived on control. If he couldn't control someone, his life was incomplete. Just look at Tom Riddle. He controlled his life and Tom was now a Dark Lord.
Harry was just completing the gardening when he heard a car pull up. He looked up and saw a limo. The door opened and out stepped a couple. They looked to be in their early thirties. He watched as they looked around and then walked up to the front door. They rang the door bell. He stood up and dusted himself off. He walked up to the couple.
"Can I help you?" Harry asked.
"Yes, we are looking for Mr. Potter. We have some important busy to discuss with him." the man answered.
"I'm Harry Potter. Who are you? How do you know me? What is this important business that you need to discuss with me about?" he said/asked.
"May we come in and discuss this comfortably?" the woman asked.
"Excuse my manners. Please come in, I'll make tea." Harry opened the door and ushered them into the living room. He then went into the kitchen and made tea. He brought the tea and crackers into the living room on a tray and set it down on the coffee table. He looked at the couple and noticed for the first time their style of clothing and how expensive everything was that they owned. He didn't remember meeting them so he had no clue to who they were or what they wanted with him.
"Let me introduce ourselves. My name is Albert Winfred and this is my wife Gloria Winfred. We have come to you today to tell you about your parents. I was able to meet them before they died and they left me something to give to you before your 15th birthday. They pressed upon me that I give this too and to help you in any way I can. Your mom was a seer and she knew you would need help, so she asked me to tell you to hang in there as life is about to get better. Those were her words. They gave me this letter and I now give it to you. If you ever need help, you can reach me by these numbers or by floo. Here's my card with the numbers and my floo address." Albert handed him the letter and the card. "It doesn't matter what time of day or night, if you need help you can always find me."
"Now we have to be off. Good day to you Mr. Potter." Albert and Gloria stood up and left before Harry could get everything straight in his mind.
Harry could only stare at the letter and try to comprehend what he was just told in such a short period of time. He stared at the letter for a short while and then decided to open it. He started to read and could only stare.
Dear Harry,
If you are reading this then it is as I feared. Your father and I are dead and we never got to see you grow up. Never doubt that we didn't love you. As you have just been told, I am a seer. I got a vision about how you would grow up and knew we had to make plans for you to have a better life. So here is the plan. I need you to go to Gringotts and go to the Potter Family Vaults. There you will find a pensive with my name on it. Look into it and see my memories. Then you are to talk to the Goblin Griphook and tell him 'life never comes to an end'. He will understand and take you to talk to the right people to get control of your people. He has looked after your things in the bank and he will keep looking after things after you gain control. After you have talked to the right people, they will explain the rest of my plan. I foresaw someone taking care of you and you loved this person dearly. Go my son, and live your life to its fullest.
With love, your mother,
Lily Evans Potter
Harry stared in shock. He then shook his head and did what his mother wanted him to do. He gathered all of his belongings and walked out of the house. He walked down the street and pulled his wand out. He stuck his wand out and waited. Soon he heard a bang as a bus showed up. This bus was the opposite of the Night bus. This was the Day bus. The doors opened and he stepped aboard. "I need to go to The Leaky Cauldron" He gave the woman money and went to find a seat in the back. He sat down and leaned back so he wouldn't be pitched forward. It took 20 minutes to finally reach the Leaky Cauldron. Harry dragged everything off the bus and walked in to bar and up to Tom, the bartender. "Tom, I need someone to shrink these. Could you give me a hand, please?" Harry asked quietly so no one overheard him. He didn't feel like creating a scene.
Luckily Tom was discrete and answered back "Sure thing sir. Here ya go, have a nice day now." Tom shrunk everything and handed the shrunk items to Harry. Harry thanked him quietly and walked into the ally way behind the bar. He tapped the bricks and waited to the arch way to open so he could walk into Diagon Ally. He walked done the street without bumping into anyone which was quite the feat. He then walked up the stairs and opened the doors. He walked to one of the open tellers and asked the goblin there, "I would like to go down to my family vaults. Can someone please take me?" The goblin answered back saying, "Key."
"I do not have one as I was never given a key." The goblin looked at Harry suspiciously and Harry in response showed his scar. The goblins eyes widened and he called out 'Griphook!!!!' A goblin appeared and looked at the teller he spoke to Griphook and told him who was here. Griphook looked at Harry and told give they would need a sample of his blood before they could take him down to his vaults. They handed his a small knife and Harry cut his finger open and let a couple of dropped of blood fall into the bowl. The bowl glowed and 30 keys appeared. The goblins eyes widened and they looked at each other in shock. To have that many keys was unheard of and to which families the keys belong to was an even bigger surprise. "These are the keys that belong to you. No one may use then unless given permission by you." The teller Gookfang told him. Griphook looked at Harry and said, "This way sir." Harry followed him and they went to the cart. Harry looked at the cart and asked, "Is there really only one speed?" Griphook gave a toothy grin and answered "No." Harry smiled and said/asked, "I didn't think so. Can we go faster then?" Griphook grinned and said "Whatever you want Mr. Potter."
And off they went. They zipped down the tunnels, Harry grinning and whooping the whole time. He felt like he was on a rollercoaster. He loved the feeling and wished it would last forever. But all good things must come to an end, and such the ride was done. They had arrived at the family vaults. As Harry was getting off, he looked at Griphook and said to him, "My mom left me a letter and mentioned your name. When I am done inside the vault, you will have much to explain to me Griphook." Harry walked up to the vault and laid his palm against the door before Griphook could say anything. He felt the prick as the door tested his blood to see if he was of Potter Blood. The doors opened and he walked into the vault. After he walked in, the doors closed and sealed him in until he wanted out again. He looked around for his mothers pensive and finally found it in the middle of the room. He walked over to it and looked into pensive. He knew he had to look into so he leaned closer and got sucked in. At first he was disorientated, but then he shook his head and felt better. He looked around to see where he was and saw his mom sitting down writing in a journal. He walked over to see what she was writing. He looked over her shoulder and saw;
