"Probably still bleeding on Harry’s bedroom floor. You see I take exception to some fat worthless son of a bitch attempting to rape my godson. Now Petunia. Thank you so much for your cooperation. Since Harry legally owns the title to this house, we will be in touch." He leaned in dangerously towards the cowering woman. "I am going to ruin your life." Sirius said dangerously then backhanded Petunia across the table.

"Sirius mate. We need to leave. No telling who is going to show up." George said. Sirius knew they were right. Harry told them where his school things were in the cupboard that had at least 4 locks on it. Sirius sent a blasting curse to it and the door blew apart. They grabbed his trunk, owl cage and broom. Fred shrunk them down and put them in his pocket. Hedwig came through the front door and they told her to go to stay at Hermoines.

"Wait! My pictures of my parents and my cloak!" Harry called out.

"Harry my love you didn’t think that we would not check the floorboards did you? We knew you hid things there love." Fred kissed Harry’s forehead.

Soon, Harry was in and out of consciousness in George’s arms.

"He looks really bad guys. St Mungos? Fred offered

"Hell no! They will probably just send him back." Sirius said

"Well what then? He sure as hell is not going to Hogwarts." George spat.

"I have an idea but you may think that I am bonkers. While on the run I came across a group of Vampires. They helped me out when they didn’t have to. They fed and sheltered me when my own kind would have seen me kissed on sight. One night there was a raid on their town. I fought in battle side by side with them and was able to secure a life bond of family with them. They will see Harry as my son. They are skilled in healing and I trust them." Sirius said at the twins shocked faces

"WICKED!" they said in unison

"First we need to get to Gringotts The goblins are the ones who arranged for me to get the paperwork signed and they want to get a look at him for the records that they are sending to the Ministry.

They all went back to Mrs Figgs house to portkey to gringotts."Oh my dear boy. What did those monsters do to you now?" she cried."

"Arabella. This is important. For his safety, you cannot tell anyone we were here it will on..."

"Obliviate me." Mrs Figg said with deadly seriousness interupting Sirius.

"I said obliviate me. This whole encounter. That boy needs protection. This is the best way. Do it. Now."

"When Harry recovers, I will tell him what you did for him. You truly are a good person." Sirius said and then cast the spell, along with a sleeping spell.Fred began to cast spells to erase magical signatures and they all took the portkey and were gone.∞∞∞∞∞∞∞Dumbledore was interupted by a series of alarms going off at number 4 privet drive. They all said the same thing. Harry was no longer there nor was he within a ten kilometer radius. He probably wandered off as usual, but just the same he called for Severus to go and check. He called for tea. He felt a headache coming on.∞∞∞∞∞∞∞

They arrived in an alley outside of Gringotts and quickly made their way in with Harry under the invisibility cloak. Sirius walked up to the goblin at the end of the aisles and urgently asked to speak to the Black family account manager Grindaxe.

"Right away Lord Black. Please follow me." The men followed the goblin to a door that led to a long hallway lit by torches. They were led into a room where an older looking goblin was seated waiting for them.

"How may I assist you Lord Black? And may I ask why it was necessary to cloak young Master Potter?" the twins exchanged glances, while Sirius, who was used to goblin bluntness merely spoke.

"Master Grindaxe, it is as we discussed but I fear it is far worse than we thought. We need to get him seen to now. We have done some basic healing, but he needs much more help than I am capable of dealing with."

"Of course. Right away. Bloodreign! Get a healer here at once. We have an injured child."

"Right away." the goblin left the room and was back in a matter of minutes with a goblin healer. George placed Harry on a small cot in the corner. As Bloodreign left the room, the healer cast diagnostic spells and began to heal the worst of his injuries which included four broken ribs and a partially collapsed lung. He then healed the broken right wrist and the broken right hip. He then administered a pain potion to Harry.

"Lord Black. This child has sustained many injuries for many years. The earliest that I can detect that a bone has been broken was the age of two. Many of these breaks never healed properly because they were never treated by a healer. Magic or muggle. He is also suffering from extreme long term malnourishment."

Fred was livid. His anger coming off of him in waves. "I’ll kill them." his voice little more than a low growl

"Not if I get to them first dear brother" George said just as deadly.

"No. This will do Harry no good. As much as I want to see them strangled with their own entrails, there are far worse things than death. He needs you both to heal."

"If I may Lord Black, how did young Master Potter sustain such brutality?" Grindaxe inquired.Sirius sighed and looked at the account manager. He had known Grindaxe for many years and could feel a sudden chill fill the room.

"First I must ask that all in this room keep this secret for now, but I would suggest we involve Amelia Bones as soon as possible as discussed" Sirius said. Grindaxe and the healer nodded. "It was as I feared. His own family did this to him." To say that the goblins in the room were outraged, was putting it mildly. Grindaxe jumped into action.

"Get me an urgent communication to Madame Bones immediately! Tell her that the Chief of the Goblin nation wishes to speak to her regarding a matter of national security." Grindaxe bellowed."Lord Black, we are aware of the resurrection of Voldemort. You and young Master Potter have the help of The Nation should you require it.

"I thank you old friend, but you may not say that after what I have planned." Sirius leaned close and told Grindaxe all about what he intended for his godson to learn.

▀ ▀ ▀ ▀Amelia Bones was not having a good day as usual. Her Auror core was lacking as always, and the rest of the ministry constantly blocked all efforts to help her improve it. The Death Eaters were causing mayhem again and she wasn’t prepared for it. The recent Tournament was a fiasco, with the loss of Diggory’s child. It never seemed to end. She began to roll her neck to relieve the tension there so she could start work when an elf wearing a Gringotts uniform popped in.

"Beggin your pardon Missy Bones, but Ronar was sent to give you an urgent message." The elf gave the note to Madame bones. Amelia read it and had to admit to herself a since of urgency. The goblins never got involved. Not only as a matter of wizard law, but of their own. That the Chief wanted tho meet with her was...unsettling. She folded the note into her pocket and looked at the elf.

"Very well Ronar." Amelia always tried to treat the creatures with respect. It always helped in the long run. "Please inform the Chief of the Goblin Nation that I shall be there within the hour." Amelia mentally went through all of her appointments for the day. Mostly society twits looking for political favor. She was deep in thought when she felt long fingers at her elbow.

"Be beggin your pardon Missy Bones, but we need to go now." The elf said with a look that could melt steel.

Amelia had barely enough time to blink before she was moved side along with an elf. That was a curious sensation to say the least. She found herself not in the front part of the bank as usual, but within a corridor she was not familiar with. The impatient elf led her down the corridor to a room with the door closed. Amelia knew that the goblins did not allow wand magic in their halls. But as she attended the Moody school of constant vigilance, she kept her wand at the ready. She was apparated by an unknown elf to god knows where after all.

"Missy Bones will enter this room." the elf gestured at the door.Amelia not one to miss an opportunity for information looked at the elf and asked. "Do you know what this is about?"

The elf slowly met Amelia’s eyes. "Trust him Missy Bones." With that the elf was gone.

Amelia steeled herself against what may be the end of her life and opened the door. To say seeing Sirius Black, two twins who could only be Weasleys, and a sleeping boy who Sirius appeared to be soothing was a surprise was an understatement.

"Sirius what..." she trailed off as Sirius jumped up at the intrusion.

"Amelia my dear friend. I have something of the utmost importance to tell you. I...know I was not suppose to take him yet, but circumstances required that I intervene." Sirius stated. The twins took up defensive positions. They trusted few people when it came to Harry. Something that did not go unnoticed by the head of the DMLE.

"Sirius, and, assuming that you are the Messrs Weasley that your father claims all of the gray hair has come from." Amelia raised an eyebrow. The twins did something she did not expect. They smiled proudly. "I will listen to what you have to say. The elf who dragged me here said to trust you. After all that has happened to you, and if the rumors are true young Harry here, I will give you an open mind."

"I can’t thank you enough my lady. This afternoon the twins and I rescued Harry from his muggle relatives that he had been forced to stay with when not in school. Blood wards had been placed on the property to keep him safe. However they were not protecting him from the dangers inside. His muggle aunt, his late mother’s sister, hated all things magical. She considered it unnatural and often referred to her sister and her family as freaks. I suspect that she was in fact jealous of her sister’s abilities. I voiced my concerns to Dumbledore..."at this point Grindaxe growled low in his throat and Amelia rolled her eyes. Sirius looked taken aback at this reaction to the headmaster’s name, but continued."Uh right...where was I? Yes anyway Dumbledore believed that the blood wards were the best way to protect Harry. It is obvious his theory was...flawed. As I had told you earlier, I have been trying to get custody at every turn. But thanks to you all, I now have it." Sirius waved the custody papers. He thanked the goblins, and turned to Amelia.

"Amelia I know that you have a job to do, but he needs immediate protection. Protection he can’t get in magical Britain. I want to take him to..."

"Those dementors did an even worse job than I thought Auror Black." Amelia interrupted and Sirius looked at her confused.

"Plausible deniability Mr. Black. Do tell me it is a concept that you are still familiar with?" She raised an eyebrow.

"You ask me no questions." Sirius began

"And you tell me no lies." Amelia gave a sad smile.

"Sirius. What has happened to Mr. Potter will possibly destabilize the Ministry. But the truth is the Ministry is already unstable. Mr. Potter is a target that is true as most of us know. But he is young and needs help. Trust me when I say I know the lack of education that is coming out of Hogwarts these days. Add to the fact that the Ministry has decided to ignore the stirrings of war once again, and we have a recipe for disaster." At the look on Sirius’ face she knew what he was thinking. "Yes Sirius. I see the signs as well. I have had a feeling for a long time that something was coming, I have seen all of the signs before. The missing citizens. The pushing through of laws that would have not been possible years ago. But even with hard evidence, the Minister does not want to see reason." Amelia stood, with her copies of the custody transfer, and the medical report taken by the goblins and walked to the door. "I will file this report in two days gentleman. That is the biggest head start I can give you." She looked at Sirius one last time. "Keep him safe Black. Train him well. I fear that in the end the blind sheep of this country will attempt put the burden of this upcoming war on his young shoulders." She gave a short nod and left the room. As Amelia made her way down the hall, hoping to find someone to lead her to the main entrance, she vowed on her magic to help Sirius any way should could within the bounds of her title. She also thought that maybe it was time she should start on Susan’s defensive training as well. Shame washed over her as she realized that it took seeing this broken young man for her to know that she did not wish for her niece to suffer a similar fate as so many other young ones before her.

Amelia took one last look at the report and shrunk it so that it would fit into her robes. As she was being led to the main entrance by a different elf, she looked to the sky and prayed to any deity who would listen to keep her sane through the upcoming shit storm that was about to come down.

"I am here to ask for another favor my friend. I need to get him out of the country to a safe location."

"Where do you wish to go Lord Black?"

"If I may ask, Why Brazil?" Grindaxe inquired

"While I was on the run I happened upon a clan of vampires. They sheltered me, fed me, and protected me. Made me part of the family. Their magic is strong and they are isolated enough to give Harry time to heal. You see I don’t want Harry to just win this war, I want to see him come through it with a vengeance. I want him to thrive, living the life that he wants. His current level of training will have him dead at the first sign of battle. He is prophesized to beat the most evil dark wizard of the age, and has a VERY limited knowledge of offensive and defensive spells. Not to mention not having any training in hand to hand combat. This ends now." Sirius finished.

"Very well Lord Black. I have been given permission by the Chief of the Goblins to tell you that the goblin nation is behind you and would like to offer any help we can. I can understand why you did not want to go to the Ministry with your needs. In it’s current state they would do the boy no good. Please wait here a moment." Grindaxe left the room.

"All the way to-"George started

"-Brazil mate?"

"Yes. Now calm yourself frik and frak. You want him to live through this war don’t you? This is our best chance."

"But how are they going to go to Brazil and work on your jokes for a joke shop? And what about you Sirius. You can’t just up and leave Britain can you?" A very groggy Harry Potter spoke up.

"HARRY!" the twins shouted and rushed over to him. They each stood on both sides of him and tenderly kissed a cheek, while rubbing soothing light circles on his back

"Bloody hell Harry-

"are you alright? How-

"Like a herd of centaurs trampled my body and threw me to the whomping willow." Harry said dryly. "Where are we anyway?"

"Harry." Sirius said with thick emotions in his voice. He was racked with so much guilt. He should of checked on Harry sooner. Sirius picked him up and sat down in a chair and rocked him. Once Harry was in the safety of his godfather’s arms, great heaving sobs racked his body. Rubbing circles on his back. Somewhere in the back of his mind, Harry knew he was too old for this, but he didn’t give a damn. He could feel the twins stroking his hair. He felt safe and loved. Once the tears dried down he spoke.

"Sorry bout that. Anyway I heard what you said and you are right. For whatever reason, I am going have to fight Voldemort, and as it stands now I am nowhere near ready. Neither magically or physically. For whatever reason, he has chosen to come after me. Again. The Tournament taught me that. Well the time for blindly running into situations is over. We need a new game plan" Harry said with a hard glint in his emerald eyes.

"You know we are with you raven." George said

"Can’t get rid of us now love" chimed in Fred.

At this point Grindaxe re appeared with a port key."Gentlemen here is the port key. The activation word is victory. I feel I should tell you to hurry. They know that you are here. They will attempt to trace your magical signature if you try to leave from the front door. This port key will take you to our office in Rio de Janeiro. We will remove all traces of your magic."

"Can you stand Harry? George asked

"Yeah. Just keep a hand on me and I should be fine. Merlin I hate port..." His last words were cut off by the familiar hook to his navel feeling as Sirius activated the port key. When Harry finaly dared to open his eyes, he was being helped to stand by Fred.

∞∞∞∞∞∞∞When Severus arrived at Number 4 privet drive, he felt a slight moment of panic. The door had obviously been kicked in. There were shards of wood that looked to be a door to a broom cupboard. When Severus peeked inside, he noticed little toy soldiers and other small broken toys. What made his blackened heart do a long forgotten clench, was the writing on the wall proclaiming this to be "harry’s room’. Wand still at the ready, Severus made his way up the stairs where he heard water running. He walked past a room that had more locks on it than normal. There were signs of a struggle, and the smell of blood. He walked in the direction of the noise, and found what could only be described as a land whale attempting to wash away blood from his face.

"Where is he?" Severus asked in a low tone.If it was possible, the beastly creature would have jumped 10 meters into the air. Being as how he must be the approximate weight of the Eiffel Tower, it was not possible.

"Get out of my house!" Vernon bellowed

"I am a teacher at your nephew’s school, and was sent to check on his welfare. Now. Where. Is he?"Vernon’s eyes shot to his forhead then narrowed

"You are one of those freaks too then?"

"I beg your pardon?" Severus asked the whale

"You’re unnatural just like the boy. Get out of my house!"

"Not until I have some answers. Do keep in mind that I am a fully trained wizard, and not a nice man on top of that. If what I suspect is correct, then you have mistreated a wizard child in your care. You will tell me where he is. The consequences of failing to do so will be...unpleasant."Vernon decided to tell the devious looking creature what he knew.

But before he could, Petunia came out of the bedroom with a bag in an obvious rush. "Vernon we need to leave before anymore of them come...You!" Petunia screeched.

"Ah so you remember me you vile woman. Where is Potter?"

"I don’t know. One of your kind took him away. Good riddance I say." Petunia huffed.

"And the locks on what I am sure are his room? We have all heard the rumors of how he had to be rescued from this place in his second year. We have seen how small he is at the beginning of the school year. Tell me, is that how civilized people act you heartless cow?"

"The worthless little freak was getting what he deserved. We never wanted him here to begin with. Some man came through the door and assaulted me. He was taken out by two boys with red hair. I don’t know where he went after that."

"Believe me when I tell you that the harming of wizarding children is frowned upon. Especially by muggles. You will be dealt with." With that, Severus left the house.

He went to Mrs Figgs house, only to cast a spell to find out she had been obliviated. He found signs that a portkey had recently been used. He traced it to Gringotts. "What the hell are those two menaces up to now?’ He thought. He knew from the description of the whale that the Weasley twins were with Harry. He knew of their relationship, he suspected that most did not. Otherwise it would be all over the daily prophet. Although he would never admit under 1,000 Cruciatus curses they were brilliant. But they only recently came into their majority. They wouldn’t have the skill necessary to create a portk...Black.

"Welcome gentlemen, to Brazil. If you will follow me please." The group of British wizards followed the goblin from the greeting room into another office that felt like it must have been kilometers from where they landed. "Do please take a seat. My name is Sage. I was told of the circumstances that has brought you here. How may I assist you?"

"We will need to obtain a second wand for Harry, as I would like him to learn control over two wands at once. We will also need enough money to do some shopping while we are here. The duration of our stay is up to my friends that live here. We will stay the night in the city and then make our way north to the vampire colony." Sirius stated

"Very well. Here is both wizarding and local currency. I believe you British use the term muggle. We tend to use a credit card in Brazilian wizarding society but if you want, we can give you gold instead." sage advised.

"I was muggle raised. We will take the card and the local currency as well." Harry said.

"Ok troops! Let’s find lodging and some rest. I also want to pick up a few potions for Harry because he will need the strength for the journey in the morning. I also want to go ahe..." Sirius was interupted by Sage.

"Forgive me Lord Potter, but as I have been told of your reason for coming here, it may be necessary to secure items from your vaults."

"Such as, Sage? Wait. Vaults? As in more than one?" Harry raised a curious eyebrow.

"You have many. You may only access your trust vault until you reach adulthood however. This can be overridden by your legal guardian of course." Sage stated.

"Harry we will go over the ins and outs of your vaults in the near future. To be honest that is my fault. I thought that you knew of your family money. I never even thought about it. You will forgive me I hope. For right now we need to get you well again. And you need your rest. However, I would like to give my oath, that I allow Harry access to all of the Potter vaults."

The goblin muttered something that sounded like "wizards and their damned oaths.’ He cleared his throat when he saw four pairs of eyes looking at him curiously. "My apologies gentlemen I meant no offense. However in the goblin halls, no such oath is necessary. We believe in the oldest of magical laws. Before they were tainted by...humans. It is the intent that matters. A drop of blood would be required with your signature and that would be the end of it."Bloody hell! We can-"Now see-"Why Bill likes the -"Goblins so much!" the twins exclaimed

"You must be related to Lord Prewitt? He is a great wizard. In fact he is here in the building if you would li-..."

"No!" everyone screamed.

"We trust him with our life." Sirius said. "But now is not the time to compromise his safety or the safety of our mission. Others will use that information to their benefit and not his."Something clicked in George and Fred’s head.

"Did you" "Just say" "Lord Prewitt?" they finished together.

The goblin smiled. Or what could pass a smile for a goblin. "Yes. He is the next in line for the Prewitt headship. He however has not decided if he wants to take up the title." Fred began to say something but got a good look at Harry and decided to change the subject quickly. "That is a discussion for another time." George nodded.
