52 Diagon Alley V2

Harry POV, Privet Drive.

Harry came down the stairs with trunk and Hedwig in his hand. The Dursleys were just giving him deadly stars from their kitchen table. This didn't bother him as it was the daily routine in this house. At first it was worst, they used to make him work in the Kitchen and do the laundries, Cursed and minor beating were norms in this house until uncle Bradley gave them a visit.

He meet Uncle Bradley when he was 4 or 5 years old. He can't remember it clearly. He was hiding at the corner of the garden from Dudley and his gang when he first meet him. First few days he would just talk to him daily while sitting on the chair which was placed not that far away from his hiding spot. After that, he revealed his relations with his mother and father. Harry loved to hear stories about his Father and Mother. About how much Lily nagged his father and How much of a Madlad his father was in his early days. At first, he thought that no one loved him in this world, He was alone in this world, But after knowing that his father and mother gave their lives just to save him made him appreciate his life even more. He wanted to be someone that would have made his parents proud. He began to study even harder. But strangely enough, Uncle Bradley always encouraged him to enjoy his life instead of studying. He even told him to throw his book away if he wanted to. Of course, Harry didn't throw them But regretted later as it was useless because he didn't belong in this world. He belonged in the wizarding world where everything that he learned was useless. But the biggest shock he got was during his sorting ceremony, The uncle whom he thought was a warm, Carefree person, Who wouldn't hurt a single person, was actually one of the most feared person in the wizarding world. Well most of them were Evil people so it didn't took long for him to treat him normal again.

Harry didn't say anything to the Dursleys, He just opened the door and his Uncle was standing in front of him.

"Read this first."

His uncle showed him a slip while letting Hedwig free and placing his trunk in his pocket.

'GRINDELWALD ESTATE IS LOCATED IN THE MIDDLE OF WYCHWOOD FOREST'

Harry was confused. He wondered why Blair showed him this, Even more, confused when Blair extended his right hand towards him.

"Grab it."

As soon as both of their hands made contact he felt a suction like feeling embracing him and everything went black. The next thing knew he was eating wet mud while laying on the ground. Blair picked him up before casting a cleaning charm on him. The next thing he saw surprised him quite a bit. In front of him was the second biggest gate he had ever seen after Hogwarts'. The giant gate opened revealing a huge major made of black rocks surrounded by a massive garden. The garden was filled with Flowers. Strangely enough, there were only Daisies in this massive garden. There no other flower in his site.

As soon as he entered the manor he saw Aurora and Melania arguing about something, Both of them had broomsticks in their hands. Harry was used to this, as this pair of sisters would always argue in the Gryffindor common room as well.

"How about you go play with them whereas I go to the Library." (A/N this is the shitiest time skip.)

.

Days later.

.

"Lacero"

"Again, How many time do I have to tell you to use your intent."

"LACERO"

"Good, Now that's enough for today." Blair and Sirius were standing in the practice ground. Sirius was fully drenched in sweet whereas Blair was looking like he was having a walk in the park. Melania and Aurora were playing Quidditch in the Quidditch ground behind the estate. It was an exact replica of Hogwarts Quidditch ground. If you don't count the sitting booths at the border of Hogwarts playing field. The ground was personally made by Blair for the kids, He also charmed the ground with cushioning charm to avoid injuries, But the two brats still manage to injure themselves multiple times with dialocated shoulders and wrists.

"I want to practise this spell few more times." Sirius said while breathing heavily.

"That enough for today. You are a kid so it's fine..."

"Ok, I thi....." Before he could finish his sentence a stunner hit him right in the face. Blair revived him as soon as the kid hit the ground.

"Co...."

"Constant Vigilance" Sirius didn't let his father finish the phrase. This was probably the 6th surprise attack of the day by his father and he failed to deflect all of them.

"Let's go" Blair began to walk towards the estate, Sirius walking right behind him.

"Sirius you should sometimes go play with your sisters," Blair said still walking forward towards the estate.

"You know I hate Quidditch." Sirius said.

Blair just gave him a nod before continued walking. After a brief silence.

"You should be careful of your 2 friends." Blair was referring to the friends he made in Slytherin.

"You don't have to worry father, Theo is nothing like his father. On the contrary, he is a quiet kid who just wants to live life quietly. As for Daphane, her face may looks like a typical pure blood family member, but Her family was neutral in the last war."

"Just be careful, "

"Father why did you agree in sending Harry to Weasleys."

"Well, let him enjoy his last few days of holidays with them before we go to Hogwarts." Harry stayed with them for 7 days. During this time he would play Quidditch with the two brats in the estate. He would also sometimes join for spell practise with Blair and Sirius. He got a letter from Ron inviting him to the Burrow. Blair was happy to let him interact with more people.

"Call your sisters and tell them to go take a shower, we are going to Diagon Alley"

Sirius nodded before turning towards the Quidditch field to call his sisters. But not before receiving a stunner from his father.

.

One hour later

.

Blair and Sirius walked out of Borgin and Burkes, Blair wanted to make a secondary wand for himself and needed some questionable ingredients from the shop. Unfortunately, due to the Ministry ban on unmonitored breeding of Basilisk, there was rarely any Basilisk horn for sale. The shopkeeper said that he would inform him as soon as he has them in stock..

Both of the girls were eating ice cream in Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlour with Lucas monitoring them. Blair would never bring those two girls to the knockturn Alley because he knew that those two brats would definitely try to explore this alley if he gave them the motivation by bringing them to the alley. As for Sirius, He had full confidence in him. The kid was far too smart and mature to do something as idiotic as to explore this dangerous alley when he is just a helpless kid.

A few seconds later as they were heading for the Alley exit.

"Father, It's Harry"

Blair looked at the direction Sirius pointed at his right, Blair looked at the direction and to his surprise it really was Harry, Looking a little panicked. He was surrounded by 3 Hags who clearly had no good intention. Blair walked towards them.

"Harry let's go"

Harry gave a sigh of relief after seeing Blair, He hastily went towards him.

"What are you doing here." Blair asked calmly, The Hags retreated after seeing him.

"I don't know, I think I said the wrong address in the floow."

" Let's go" The trio exited the Knockturn Alley meeting the Weasleys near the Gringotts Bank.

"You should go with them, I will bring The girls with me," Blair said to Sirius before turning around and leaving to get the girls.

.

5 minutes later.

.

Blair and the girls walked through the door of Flourish and Blotts.

Suddenly he heard a familiar.

"The company you keep, Weasley … and I thought your family could sink no lower..." Blair turned towards the voice, Just to see Lucius Malfoy sneering at Arthur Weasley while Gideon restraining him from punching Lucius.

"They are in a far better company then you Lucius," Blair said coldly, the coldness was similar to his first Wizarding War days.

Lucius turned around and looked at him with cold guarded eyes.

"If I remember correctly most of them are dead or rotting in Askaban."

Lucius was about to replay to him.

"It can't be Blair Bradley and Harry Potter."

Gilderoy Lockhart came running from behind and gave a pose, before Blair could do anything the cameraman already took the photograph.

Blair was annoyed with this and before he could say something.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, Me, Gilderoy Lockhart, Order of Merlin, Third Class, Honorary Member of the Dark Force Defense League, and five-time winner of Witch Weekly's Most-Charming-Smile Award, is going to let The students of Hogwarts experience the real Magical Me as I am going to teach Defence Against Dark Arts at Hogwarts."

The crowd began to cheer for him. Blair gave a sigh before leading the kids out of the crowd. He really was annoyed.

'What was this Old man even thinking.'
