Between Time and Space

Harry looked around and found himself in a room, he looked down at himself and saw that he was in the white gown again.

"Oh Fuck!"

He turned to see Jenny glaring at him. He noticed she didn't look too pleased and was standing next to some sort of elevator which had a huge arrow above it pointing down.

"Look it is not my fault. How was I suppose to know a ring would kill me."

Harry looked to see Jenny trying to keep a straight face. Suddenly she burst out laughing, and the room turned back into her office. Harry quickly spun around to make sure the elevator was no where in sight. He turned to see Jenny still laughing.

"Sorry Harry, I couldn't resist it. Don't worry you're not dead, you have just come back as I seemed to have overlooked a view things. I blame you for that distracting me from my work."

Harry held up his hands "Hey you're the one that jumped me remember,. I can't help it if you find me irresistible can I."

Jenny looked up from Harry's file.

"My, my someone is full of themselves aren't they. Well enough about what happened before, you're here so that I can go through with you a few more details. One of the things I forgot to mention to you was that your magical core is blocked, well was blocked until you put on the Potter ring. It's magic shattered all the blocks on your core, at present down in the mortal world, you're putting on an amazing light show for the Goblins, as excess magic that you haven't used is being released in waves after waves. Now according to this with your core now unblocked, you will be able to use your brain more academically. Which means Mister get out of divination and care of magical creatures, and opt for Arithmancy and Ancient Runes, both classes which your soul-mate will be taking. Also you thought you were powerful before, well you have seen nothing yet. Now your core is unblocked you will be able to use all your power instead of the 10% that old goat had left you with. You're also a animagus and has a unique form in that you are a phoenix with the powers of a Basilisk."

Harry's eyes widened he could transform into a Phoenix but use the powers of a Basilisk. Harry wondered if the mixture of Fawkes tears and the Basilisk venom from the fang had caused this strange hybrid transformation. He carried on thinking as Jenny continued reading his file.

"Well I believe that's it. I would offer you another round of love making, but we seem to be out of time. You're just about to wake up. Hopefully I will see you in 200 years or so. If not then you know where you will be going."

Gringott Medical ward

Harry wanted to say something, but suddenly found himself awake and laying in a bed, he looked to see that he was in some sort of bubble. He could see several Goblins looking in from the outside pointing and talking to one another. Harry felt like an animal in the zoo being stared and pointed at. He noticed one of the Goblin touched some symbol on the wall and the bubble vanished.

"Well I must say Lord Potter you gave us all quite a shock. Never have we seen such a sight as what we witnessed a few hours ago. It seems you had several illegal blocks on your core that shattered when you placed the Potter ring on your finger. For the last hour your body has been expelling excess magic that your body contained from being blocked. It also seems your magic has healed you of all your other problems, for example. How is your vision?"

Harry looked around and saw that he could see everything clearly. It was then that he looked to his bedside table to see his glasses resting on them.

"I don't need glasses anymore."

The Goblin nodded "Indeed. It seems your magic has corrected your vision. You also now have the body of a proper fourteen year old, you are no longer just skin and bones anymore."

Harry got up and looked into the mirror, the Goblin were right he did look a lot better. Harry wondered if anyone would know that it was him when he appeared in the alley. He turned to the Goblin and saw him holding a jar with what look like a black cloud swirling around in it.

"What the hell is that?"

The Goblin placed the jar down at the side of the bed. "That Lord Potter is a fragment of the Dark Lords soul that was latched onto your scar. It had been draining your magic for years, trying to sustain itself."

Harry eyes widened. He wondered if Dumbledore was aware of what was hidden in his scar in the last time line. It would explain a hell of lot especially the lack of training he received, however before he could come to a conclusion on the matter he needed to investigate it more.

"Did you find anything else strange while examining me?"

The Goblin shook his head. "Apart from the horcrux and your core being blocked nothing else was discovered."

Harry picked up the jar containing the soul fragment and held it up to examine it closely. "So this is called a horcrux?"

The Goblin shook his head. "No Lord Potter that is a soul fragment, the horcrux is what it was latched onto, in this case your scar. A horcrux is a item that a witch or wizard has stored a piece of their soul within. The ritual to create a horcrux is very dark and very dangerous. Normally a innocent is sacrificed. Once the victim has died the soul of the one using the ritual splits in two allowing them to place a piece of their soul in an item. This then makes the witch or wizard immortal because even if their body was destroyed, part of the soul would still remain allowing them to come back."

Harry nodded suddenly he dropped the jar and the soul fragment shot off in the direction of the vaults. Harry watched the Goblin eyes widened.

"What the hell? Sliphook see where that soul fragment is going. I have a funny feeling that it is trying to join up with it's other half. Inform me of the vault it stops at. Maybe we will find another one of these blasted objects."

Harry tried to apologise but the Goblin held up his hand. "There is nothing to apologise for Lord Potter in fact you might have done us a favour., it's an offence to store such an item in a vault and if I'm correct then we will discover another horcrux in this building."

Harry got out of bed and began to get dressed he had just finished when the Goblin known as Sliphook returned carry a see through box, and inside was a golden cup surrounded by a dark green aura.

"We found it sir. The soul fragment was found floating outside the Lestrange vault. When we opened the door it immediately flew towards this cup. It seems your hunch was right sir, this is another horcrux and the soul piece within is the same as the one removed from Lord Potter scar."

The head Goblin face turned red with fury. "Remove half of the Lestrange gold from their vault immediately. That will teach them for hiding a object such as this on our grounds."

Sliphook nodded before vanishing from sight with the cup. The Goblin turned to Harry.

"It would seem that the Dark Lord is not truly dead as we all believed the fact we have discovered two of his horcruxes makes me think that he has several more somewhere. Until all of them are destroyed then he will remain immortal."

Harry's eyes widened. Now everything was beginning to make sense. That is how Voldemort had returned from the graveyard because he was not truly dead, he had horcruxes protected him. Harry wondered just how many more of these things Voldemort had scattered around. He then thought back to his second year. The diary, soon as he had stabbed it with the fang he was sure he had seen a soul fragment vanish from it. Maybe the diary had also been a horcrux.

"Excuse but I believe that I might have destroyed another one of his horcruxes in my second year. He was using a diary to control Ginny Weasley, who released the Basilisk on the school."

The Goblins began to talk amongst themselves. Finally the one who had been leading the rest turned to him.

"Could you show us your memory of the events?"

Harry nodded and placed his wand to his temple. Before thinking about his second year. He then found several strands at the end of his wand, he was wondering how he knew what he was doing, he had never done this before. He watched the Goblin place the sliver strands into a bowl and then several of them placed their heads into the bowl. After several minutes they pulled their heads out. The head Goblin turned to Harry.

"Lord Potter you are indeed a great wizard. To kill a Basilisk that large with just a sword is an amazing feat. As for the diary it seems you were correct in your assumptions that it was indeed a horcrux. So we now know that three of them have been destroyed. My guess is that he has made seven as that number is very powerful within our world. The question is now where are the other four? I want you to leave finding these objects to us Lord Potter. We can use the soul fragment we have now to track the rest of them. You have been here almost the whole day, and no doubt you have thinks to buy and do. Griphook has issued you with this."

Harry took the small plastic card from the Goblin. "This is what muggles use though?"

The Goblin nodded. "Indeed. That card links directly to your family vault. You are allowed one because you are the wealthiest wizard in our world. Your family was very wise to invest in the muggle world, all their investments have returned a huge profit. The total amount is on this paper but only when the Potter signet ring is placed on it will the exact amount be revealed."

Harry placed the ring on the paper and watched as black ink began to scribe a figure. He almost fainted at the amount he was worth. 125,000,000 galleons. That was just gold and not taking into account all the land and property he owned as well. He and Daphne were going to have a very comfortable life living on that.

He thanked the Goblins and then left the bank. He gritted his teeth as he came across the family of red heads, who he thought were his friends and family. However he was surprised to see them walk right past him. Harry sighed, it seems his new image had fooled them completely. He quickly made his way into the various shops and bought everything he would need. He then walked into the Leaky cauldron and back up into his room. He was only in there a few minutes before there was a knock on his door. He opened to see Hermione looking at him.

"Oh I'm sorry, the bar owner told me that my friend was staying in this room. Forgive me I will leave you alone now."

Harry couldn't hold in his laughter. "Relax Mione it's me Harry."

Hermione opened her mouth to say something, however nothing seemed to want to come out. Harry pulled her into his room getting a little squeal from her as he shut the door behind them. He noticed she had withdrawn her wand and was now backed up against a wall pointing at him.

"Who are you? And where is Harry Potter?"

Harry rolled his eyes. "Hermione put your wand way. Its me. I've just gone through a few changes that's all. Look I will prove it to you. In our first year I rescued you from a troll, we also stopped our defence against the dark arts professor from stealing the philosopher stone. In the game of chess you played the Black rook."

Hermione lowered her wand she knew everyone knew about Qurill but only Harry would know about the piece she played in the giant game of chess. She walked up to him, still giving him a confused look.

"Harry what happened to you? You no longer have your glasses, You're no longer skin and bones, you look like a completely different person."

Harry pulled Hermione down to sit next to him on the bed. "I took a visit to Gringotts earlier today, and discovered that someone had placed a number of blocks on my magical core. Once the goblin removed the blocks I woke up to looking like this. According to them my excess magic healed me and changed me into what I was suppose to be, without the suffering from my relatives."

Hermoine bit her bottom lip she knew Harry would never lie to her, but all this seemed a little bit unreal, especially the blocks on his core. Such blocks were illegal in the wizarding world. She noticed Harry looking at her.

"What you don't like the new me? I think I look good without my glasses don't you?"

Hermione bit her lip again. She in fact did think he looked good. In fact she thought he looked hot, but soon pushed that thought out of her head. After all Harry was more of a brother to her then anything else. Damn these hormones.

"You do look good Harry and I do like the new look however I am not sure how anyone else will react, by the way we better go downstairs the Weasley's are waiting for us."

Harry sighed he thought that he should inform Hermione of what the Weasley's were really like, but decided that in time she would see for herself. He helped her off the bed and held her hand as they walked out of his room and down the stairs. He immediately got a uneasy feeling in his stomach when he spotted Ginny giving him the once over. He was going to be more of a target for her then ever now especially with his new look. It was Ron who decided to open his mouth

"Mione why are you holding that strangers hand?"

Harry rolled his eyes and watched as Hermione let go of his hand and stormed right up to Ron.

"For goodness sake Ronald, he's not a stranger, its Harry. He's gone through a few changes that's all. At first I thought the same as you but he told me a few things only the real Harry Potter would know. So will you please go sit down and carry on stuffing your face, as that is the only thing your good at."

Harry wanted to crack up at that last comment, but decided not too, however that all changed when Ron opened his mouth again.

"Why don't you shut up, you know it all bookworm.."

Ron never got a chance to finish his sentence, before he was smashed in the face by Harry's fist. Harry watched as the red headed prat flew backwards over one of the benches knocking his dinner plate to the floor. He looked to see Ron getting up blood running down from his nose.

"I am fed up with you keep picking on Hermione Ron. I have put up with it for the last two years. No more. Consider our friendship through. I don't want anything to do with you anymore."

Harry watched Molly Weasley stand up brandishing her wand. "Harry how could you? Ron is your best friend and treat him like that. After all we have done for you!"

Harry gritted his teeth he decided to go for the home run. No good beating about the bush as they say.

"Yes I am well aware of what you have done for me Molly Prewitt, creating a contract between myself and your daughter with a bride price of 50,000 galleons to be removed from my family vault to enforce it each year. I am also aware of the stipulation within it about my death. How you would claim 50% of my estate and the old goat would get the other 50%!"

Harry looked to see the surprise written all over her face. However he wasn't done. "The only reason you acted as a family towards me was because you knew you were in for a huge pay out when I tied the knot with your daughter."

Harry noticed Arthur stand up. "Harry do you have any prove of these allegation? I was not aware of any contract between yourself and my daughter Ginny?"

Harry could see that Arthur was telling the truth. Maybe not all the Weasley's were bad, he decided he would recheck his list when he got back upstairs.

"You're more then welcome to speak to my account manager Griphook at Gringotts Mr Weasley, however now that I have taken up the mantle as Lord Potter then I have voided all contracts and transaction that I had not issued."

Harry looked down to see Ron eyes widened. Harry smiled. "Yes Ron, that's right every single knut that Dumbledore paid you to be my friend is being returned to me. Along with all the gold in the Prewitt vault which your mother has been hiding from all of you. Now if you don't mind I would rather eat in my room then with company who would stab me in the back. Hermione you wish to join me?"

Hermione just stood there shocked at everything that had just happened. She had never seen Harry act like this and to be honest she like this new Harry, now that he had a backbone. She just nodded her head and followed him upstairs, just before Harry shouted out to Tom the bar owner.

"Two specials for room 102, please Tom."

Once Harry and Hermione had walked up the stairs Arthur turned to Molly. "If I find out what Harry says is true, then you're in serious trouble Molly."

Molly gulped, she needed to inform Dumbledore fast, the Harry that had left Hogwarts at the end of his second year was not the one returning for his third year. He was something completely new and that thought terrified her.
