Chapter 1
It was not easy being Albus Dumbledore. In fact, he would say that some days it was a chore. Oh, there were many advantages of course. After all, his name had a lot of weight. He was admired and internationally respected; he was an idol to many and a hero to the children. Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore, the great defeater of the Dark Lord Gellert Grindelwald.
However, there were also disadvantages. There were many who envied him for his power and brilliance, for his accomplishments and political position as The Supreme Mugwump at the International Confederation of Wizards and his position as the Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
There were times when he woke up and had to force himself to face the day. These days were the worst, and today was such a day.
"In 1692, the Confederation instituted the International Statute of Wizarding Secrecy to hide the wizarding world from the Muggle world. We have been forced to hide ourselves for 300 years, ladies and gentlemen. I believe it has been long enough. It isn't the 17th Century. There are no witch hunts for us to dread anymore, no persecution to fear. The muggles have grown open minded, what with them believing and wishing to meet vampires and werewolves. They dream of magic! You only have to look at the books they read and the films they watch. No longer would we be tyrannized for our religious beliefs. The muggle world is now full of people with different beliefs, both spiritual and religious. And we have so much to give to each other. Our help would be welcomed! There is so much sickness and disease in the muggle world. Only think what we could accomplish by helping them. We can cure cancer; grow bones overnight, fix eyesight with naught but a spell, cure sexual diseases, even things as simple as a headache or flu, we can cure it all with but a single potion or a spell. And it is not only the muggle world that would benefit from us. There is much for us to learn from them as well. They have adapted and survived with no magic. Their technological advancement and scientific development would only bring us wealth and enrich our society even further. We have much to learn from each other, and I believe it is time, ladies and gentlemen. I believe it is time to expose our existence!"
The assembly broke out in chaos as James Potter sat down. With a slightly quivering hand he took a glass of water and drained it one go. Now that the speech he prepared was delivered, his nerves caught up with him. Yet, he still felt a sparkle of accomplishment. They had finally done it. After extensive planning and plotting, late night meetings and years of recruitment, they had finally done it.
James glanced at Albus as the Supreme Mugwump tried to bring order in to the assembly hall with little success. They had been actively planning this manoeuvre for the past five years, but the idea was in the workings for much longer than that.
After the Dark Lord Grindelwald had been defeated, the Wizarding World prospered. It was as if the war had never happened. The economy was flourishing, the birth rates were higher than they had been since early 18th Century, and the Wizarding Britain was rapidly expanding on all fronts.
Finally, as the assembly started to quite down, James looked around. He could see the mixed emotion on the faces of the many representatives. It was a big risk to bring this issue to the International Confederation of Wizards before taking it up in the British Wizengamot, but they would never gain the support of the majority necessary to authorise this matter for presentation at ICW. The rumours had already been spread in Britain about what they were trying to accomplish, but none believed that they would go through with it. By the time this session would conclude, it would be on the front pages of all the wizarding newspapers. Just as they planned.
"Have you gone completely insane Potter? The muggles have always feared those more powerful than them. You talk of their technology and how it would benefit us, but what about their weaponry? They have weapons that could take out this whole building in a matter of seconds. Intermingling with them would destroy our culture, our nation, and our children! Look at their children. They are rude, with no respect for their elderly, they procreate out of wedlock. Is this what you wish for our children to become like? We must never expose our existence to the muggles!" Murmurs of agreement echoed throughout the hall.
Yaxley. Of course the bastard would protest. He was as dark and as pureblood as they come, and he was the main supporter of Riddle, who was perhaps their greatest opposition.
His good old friend Sirius practically sprang up at Yaxley's speech.
"Their weapons would not be any threat to us as long as we would take steps to prevent the possible danger. However, that would only be necessary in the beginning. As soon as they would realize that we mean them no harm and only wish to help them, they would not have any reason to attack us."
"As soon as they realize we mean them no harm? And are we always to look over our shoulders for impending attacks? Are we to constantly fear to step out of our homes; are we to just take a chance, a leap of faith of their goodwill? As soon as they realize that we have magic great enough to protect ourselves from them, they will become even more enraged. They will always see us a danger to them, and they would only increase their attempts at removing us from existence. Do you wish for such an existence for us, for our children?"
The hall broke out in chaos once again. The highly esteemed representatives of Wizarding Nations fighting like cats and dogs, screaming and shouting at each other as each tried to get their point across.
Looking towards Albus and catching him looking back, James nodded his head in silent agreement. Yes, everything was going just as planned. The first step had been taken.
Harry stepped out of the fireplace, brushing away the soot and dust from his cloak. Looking around the Leaky Cauldron, he couldn't help but mentally grimace at the state of the inn. It looked as if the furniture hadn't been changed since late 20's. Then again, he shouldn't have been surprised, he was somewhat expecting it, but not to such extent.
Seeing that the barman had noticed him and was heading towards him, Harry quickly gave a polite nod to the man, and turned in the direction of what he supposed was the entrance to the Diagon Alley. Arriving at a brick wall, Harry carefully reached out with his magic and felt for the activation ward. Feeling it give a sort of hum as it admitted him through, he moved towards the busy crowd beneath the clear and bright sky.
He supposed the Diagon Alley did look grand, in an old Victorian sort of way. The stores lined the right and left side of the moving swarm of people, dressed in colourful and numerous fashions. Straight ahead he could see a fountain with an impressive and striking white building, which looked to be made of marble right behind it. The store windows were lined with all sorts of products, everything from cauldrons, golden cages, and latest models of brooms, self-moving quills and a single wand lying on a pillow.
Harry felt like he stepped through time.
Carefully navigating through the wizarding folk, Harry made his way towards the white, marble structure, which he assumed was the bank, since he could see the two wizards stationed outside and at each side of the enormous entrance. Approaching the doorway, Harry noticed an inscription written right above it.
"Enter, stranger, but take heed
Of what awaits the sin of greed
For those who take, but do not earn,
Must pay most dearly in their turn.
So if you seek beneath our floors
A treasure that was never yours,
Thief, you have been warned, beware
Of finding more than treasure there."
Chuckling, Harry moved through and towards the first available goblin he saw behind the counter.
"Greetings ye old one, I need my account from the Indian branch to be transferred to this one."
The goblin looked at him intently for a moment, before barking out, "Name?"
"Harry James Potter, heir of The Ancient House of Potter."
As the goblin sorted out his accounts, Harry took the time to look around and as he observed the British wizarding folk's manner, Harry felt the longing to return back home.
"All done, anything else?"
"That will be all, thank you."
With his business done, he supposed it was time to face his parents.
"In 1692, the Confederation instituted the International Statute of Wizarding Secrecy to hide the wizarding world from the Muggle world."
