Chapter Three
Stumbling back into the leaky cauldron, Harry wandered back over to the bar and paid Tom then quickly made his way up to his room. Once in the safety of his room, he took his cloak off and draped it over the chair.
Moving over to the bed that was pushed against the wall across from the door, Harry dropped down onto it pulling the piece of paper out of his pocket and looked at it. Looking at the paper, he read over the names of the houses he now owned.
Potter's Cottage Godric's Hollow,
West Country England, United Kingdom
Number 12 Grimmauld Place,
London England, United Kingdom
Potter Mansion
Yorkshire England, United Kingdom
Potter Villa
Loch Lomond Scotland, United Kingdom
"If he is alive then where would he be?" Harry said to himself setting the list aside. Groaning and dropping his head into his hands, Harry kicked his shoes off then curled up under the quilt on the bed planning to continue later on that night.
Setting his glasses aside, Harry closed his eyes and quickly drifted off to sleep not hearing anything going on outside of his room and slept through the night.
Waking early the next morning thanks to his internal alarm, Harry grabbed his glasses and placed them over his eyes noticing that it seemed a little blurry. Writing it off as his eyes adjusting to the morning, he slipped out of bed and grabbed his bag and went into the bathroom for a quick shower.
Dressing as soon as he stepped out of the shower, Harry grimaced looking down at the old and worn shorts and tank top. Placing his glasses back on his face, Harry noticed that his eyes seemed like normal now. Stepping back into the bedroom, he tossed his bag onto the bed and pulled the cloak over his shoulders and secured the hood. Before stepping out into the hall, Harry grabbed his wand and placed it into his pocket.
Walking down into the bar area, Harry went over to a table in the shadows and sat down.
"Be wanting breakfast?" Tom asked moving over to his side.
"Yeah um just some eggs over easy, toast and a strong cup of tea is fine." Harry said.
"It'll be right out." Tom said moving back behind the bar and handed the order off the one of the cooks in the kitchen.
Leaning back in his chair, Harry looked towards the bar where the time was floating above Tom's head.
'Eight in the morning, good the stores should be open then.' Harry said to himself as his food appeared in front of him with a pop. Digging in Harry ate quickly and when he was done stood up and headed out into Diagon Alley.
Heading up to Madam Malkin's Harry stepped in and gave a sigh of relief when the only other person in the store was Madam Malkin.
"Hello deary is there something I can help you with?" She asked looking up from the paper in her hand.
"Yes I need to get some robes and do you know where there's a store to get muggle clothing around here?" Harry asked.
"Alright come in the back with me and we'll get your robes. As for muggle clothing it is expensive, but you can order them here if you'd like to." She said leading him into the back room and up onto a stool.
"How much is expensive?" Harry asked taking off his cloak.
"We use the finest material to make the muggle clothing: all silk and leather so of course it would be on the expensive side. The cheapest we have is 15 galleons which is 70 pounds and it goes up from there." She said taking Harry's measurements.
"Do you have any samples of the materials?" Harry asked, "I want to be see how they would feel before I buy them."
"Of course we do. It is always best to have samples for the customers to see." She said moving to grab the swatches.
When the measurements were all taken Harry stepped off of the stool and moved over to the desk where Madam Malkin had placed the swatches.
"This is our most popular silk that we get in all the way from China; we always have to order more every two weeks. This right here is our most popular leather for jackets and this one is our most popular for pants, and they can be done in any color you'd like." She said pointing them out.
Letting his fingers run over the material Harry tried to decide which ones he liked.
"Ok, for the leather coat, in your most popular, I'd like one black and one white. The leather pants, also in your most popular, I'd like three black, and three blue. For the silk shirts two red, two green, two silver and two black."
"Very good and for your robes? Are they for Hogwarts or regular robes?" She asked after marking down his selections.
"Why don't we make three for Hogwarts and three regular robes; all black." Harry said while pulling his cloak back on.
"All right and would you like to pick them up in one hour or would you like me to deliver them to where you're staying?"
"I'll pick them up in an hour...how much is it going to be?" Harry asked as they stepped out into the main room.
"All together it will be 75 galleons 25 sickles and 19 knuts. Do you want to pay for that now or later?"
Pulling out his money pouch Harry counted out the amount and gave it to her.
"Excellent I shall have everything shrunken and bagged within an hour." She said accepting the money.
"I'll be back then." Harry said pulling up his hood and made his way out of the store. Mentally counting what money was left in his pouch Harry changed his course towards Gringotts. Stepping inside Harry looked around for Matterhorn and when he caught sight of him walked over.
"Matterhorn I need your assistance again." Harry said.
"Of course follow me." He said and started towards the same desk they had sat at yesterday. "What can I help you with today Mr. Potter?"
"Does the bank have something that will automatically take funds out of my vaults so I don't need to keep coming back here?"
"Yes we have a money pouch that you say the amount into the bag and it will appear in the bag or we have cards like the muggles use, where you can make charges the amount will come here and we will send the money to the store."
"They both sound good but how will I know what I have left in my vaults?" Harry asked.
"At the end of the month we will send you a list that says what you had in your vaults, what you spent and out of what vault, and what you have left in them."
"If I decided to use one of those methods how quickly would I get the bag or the cards?" Harry asked trying to decide which to use.
"You would get them before you left today." Matterhorn said pulling papers out of the desk.
"Oh well that's good." Harry said surprised.
"Yes it is, now which one would you like to use?"
"I'll go with the card." Harry said after giving it another thought.
Nodding Matterhorn separated the papers in front of him and handed one over to Harry along with a needle.
"You just need to put a drop of your blood on the paper to verify you are who you say you are and here I'll need you to write which vaults you'd like the money to come from."
Taking the offered quill Harry wrote down the two vaults he wanted to use then quickly poked his finger and added the drop of blood. Harry then watched as the blood seeped into the paper then with a small sound and a cloud of smoke the paper disappeared and a small golden card appeared.
"Good now, at the end of the month you will get a full report of everything that is in your vaults." Matterhorn said handing Harry the card. "Is there anything else that you needed help with today?"
"No that's it thank you." Harry said standing from his seat. Walking towards the front Harry quickly left the bank and went back to Madam Malkin's to pick up his new clothes.
"There you are dear, I was wondering if you had forgotten about your order." She said smiling at him. "Everything is here in the bag shrunken down."
"Thank you Madam, I'll be back when I need something else." Harry said taking the bag. Walking back outside Harry moved out of the doorway trying to decide what he should do.
'I guess I'll just head back to my room now. I have too much to figure out.' Harry thought as his mind wandered to his fathers.
After a second Harry slipped into the moving crowd and made his way back to the Leaky Cauldron.
Stepping into his room Harry stopped short when he saw the two people sitting at the small table in the room.

Chapter Four-
"I think I need to reconsider staying here if people can just walk into your room whenever they please." Harry said after gathering himself.
"Harry we need to have a serious discussion." Lucius said from his seat next to Severus.
"You're right I think we do." Harry said lowering his hood. Moving over to the bed Harry sat his bag and himself down.
"How have you been?" Lucius asked after a awkward silence.
"As good as can be expected after finding out all that I did and...have you been going through my things?" Harry asked noticing that his bag was on the table in front of them.
"We wanted to make sure we had the right room." Severus said speaking for the first time since Harry had stepped into the room.
Deciding to let it go for now Harry turned back to their conversation. "How is it that I was born when you all seemed to hate each other?"
"Harry we don't...didn't hate each other it's something that we still don't understand." Severus said standing from his seat. Moving over to Harry's side he sat down next to him on the bed.
Following Severus' lead Lucius stood and moved to Harry's side on the bed.
"Harry I'm sure you know about magical creatures from DADA, and I'm sure you've heard the rumors about Severus and perhaps myself." Lucius said.
"I know about some, but unfortunately most of our DADA teachers were incompetent and didn't go near the subjects we should have been learning. As for the rumors against you two I don't pay attention to rumors." Harry said honestly feeling comfortable sitting next to them talking.
"Do you know anything about vampires and Veelas?" Lucius asked.
"Not much, just that Veela have an allure and vampires need blood to survive."Harry said.
"So next to nothing. Harry what you need to know is that Lucius and I are those creatures: Lucius is a Veela and I am a vampire." Severus said looking him straight in the eyes.
"Not that that isn't nice to know, but what does that have to do with this?" Harry asked confused.
"Well Vampires and Veela always have a life mate, someone who will provide them with stability, love, and family. When a veela and a vampire turns sixteen they can 'feel' their mate if they're dominant. We felt that James was our mate and we followed our instincts." Severus said looking slightly uncomfortable.
"Alright, but I still don't know why you're telling me that." Harry said.
"True life mates can never hate each other. We loved...still love James no matter what happened. That we still don't really understand."
"How did he end up with Lily?"
"We don't know; after we graduated James was getting sick so he went to Hogwarts to see madam Pomfrey. He came home later that day and told us he was leaving and marrying Lily. We don't know why or what happened but nine months later you were born and James didn't want anything to do with us or with Tom." Lucius said.
"Tom? As in Lord Voldemort?" Harry asked jumping up from the bed. "What's that supposed to mean?"
"Harry there's a lot that you don't know that might confuse you..."
"Don't try to pacify me answer the question. What does Voldemort have to do with my father?" Harry asked running his hands through his hair.
Harry the Potter's have always been on Tom's side of the war. He's not as bad as everyone likes to think." Severus said.
"If he was on Tom's side why did Tom try to kill him?" Harry shouted pacing around the small room.
"Harry Tom never did that. We don't know who did it and why they blamed Tom, but Tom didn't kill James." Severus said moving to Harry's side.
"Don't." Harry said moving away from him, "I don't want any of us to do something we might regret."
"Harry trust us Tom never did that, when that happened he was with us and we were discussing Draco..."
"Draco. That's right how can you say you loved my father when you were married and had a child? That doesn't seem like something a devoted mate would do." Harry said turning to glare at Lucius.
"Harry it was nothing like that. Narcissa and I married to protect her family, the ministry during that time was going to marry off any person associated with Tom. James knew that and he wouldn't let that happen especially when his best friend was a part of that family. It hurt to do that it was like I was betraying my mate. Narcissa and I may be married but we have not been together since our wedding night." Lucius said trying to calm his youngest son.
"Harry we love James we never would have done that to him." Severus said placing his hand on Harry's shoulder.
Dropping down onto the nearest empty chair Harry rubbed his hands across his face.
"This is all so confusing." Harry said sighing into his hands. "First finding out that you two are my fathers and my father is my mother and then to top it off my 'mother' could still be alive." Harry whispered into his hands.
"We'll tell you whatever we can about whatever you want to know Harry all you need to do is ask." Severus said kneeling down beside him.
"Wait what was that second thing that you said?" Lucius asked leaning down to look Harry in the eyes.
"What that my father might still be alive?" Harry asked.
"Yes, why do you think that?" Lucius asked.
"Um the paper I got on my birthday." Harry said turning to pull the paper out of the bag and handed it to Lucius.
"I talked to the bank about it and they've said there's never been a mistake made about that. I just don't know what to think." Harry said.
"That is the truth. For as long as I have worked at the ministry no mistakes have been made concerning these matters. They consider it very important and always check their files every six months to make sure no mistakes have been made." Lucius said staring at the paper in shock.
"What is it?" Severus asked moving to his side.
"James." Lucius whispered handing the paper to Severus.
"He's still alive." Severus said looking up from the paper.
"If he's alive where's he been then?" Harry asked looking at them with tears in his eyes.
"If he is we'll find him Harry. Don't worry." Severus said pulling Harry into his arms for a hug.
Standing from his chair Harry moved over to the bed and shrunk his bag of clothes then moved back over to the table and grabbed his bag. Shoving his bag of clothes into the his bag Harry tossed it on his shoulder.
"I need to get out of here for a while I can't deal with this right now." Harry said heading for the door.
"Harry you should stay here, you won't be thinking straight." Severus said taking a step towards him.
"I'll be fine I just need to go out and get some fresh air. Besides no body noticed me when I was out before." Harry said.
Exchanging a look with Lucius Severus gave a sigh and said, "Fine but I want to talk to you when you get back."
"Fine, I should be back in an hour." Harry said walking out the door quickly before they could stop him.
Walking down into the bar Harry headed straight for the entrance to Diagon Alley. Pulling up his hood Harry then tapped the bricks and slipped into the smaller crowd of people.
