Dumbledore being the egomaniac that's he is never once thought that any of his plans were incorrect or that he had made any mistakes. He had fooled James Potter into trusting him enough to move out of the heavily fortified Potter mansion and swapping secret keepers between Sirius and Peter. He knew peter was a traitor he was a master at mind magic how could he not?
This of course was all for the greater good though. Of course the longbottom matriarch dying was a tragic loss but he needed to know about the child of prophecy. When Voldemort attacked he knew about it instantly. He was the first to arrive at the destroyed house and see the boys. One of them with a scar on his head and the other without any magical power at all. Being the wise man that he was he automatically assumed there was no way a squib could be the savior the wizard world needed.
Using a bit of smooth talking and a few word tricks he had managed to get James to send off the other child so they could focus on raising the savior. He would even take him as a personal disciple so that he could raise the next hero of the light.
The problem was lily potter. A doting mother, with a few compulsions we were able to convince her that it would be safer for young Ryan to live in the muggle world with his aunt and uncle safely out of reach of any magical dangers.
Jimmy potter grew up being hailed as the boy who lived. Everywhere he went he would get his picture taken and autographs. This caused arrogance in the young lad. All the fame and fortune going to his head. He had special books written about him and everyone knew his name.
However there were a couple of inconsistencies. He had average magical power. Maybe a little more than average but that was it. He was raised by James Potter so he had some of the mans arrogance and love of mischief. This turned him into a bit of a bully. The matching wand to toms also didn't recognize him as the rightful owner.
All these little things started to add up to a spoiled little self entitled boy. It worried the old man.
Other news also shocked him. He had asked his old teacher Nicholas to borrow the philosophers stone to set a trap up for tom. Surprisingly he had given it to him along with informing him that his heir would be coming to hogwarts. He didn't even know his teacher had an heir any questions he asked were just swept away.
(The stone given to dumbledore is a fake that we threw together. It poisons anyone who tries to use it for elixir of life and it doesn't make gold.)
News had gotten around about the flamels having an heir and this was huge news. One of the richest oldest families had finally designated an heir. There was some information released about how much gold and properties the flamels owned and not to mention the ability to make elixir of life. What kind of person wouldn't want to marry into that family.
However no one could get ahold of them. They had pulled everything they owned from gringotts and were hidden away. Owls returned unanswered, marriage proposals unopened, the goblins were furious they had lost so much money. They make a killing on hidden fees and fines and there is never anyone who just closes down their vault.
The only reason dumbledore knew anything was because nick had informed him. I needed to get into hogwarts to get items out and I wanted to mess around with some people and see the changes.
The first thing i did? Take the wand that Harry used from Ollivanders. Of course I did it the old fashioned way by earning its loyalty. Ollivander snitched on me right away. Popped right off to dumbledore that someone had taken the wand. I had worn a disguise so he didn't know who I was.
While there we picked up the normal junk. You know first year garbage.
We also picked up a daily prophet that had us in the headlines. Apparently I was the most available and popular young heir on the market. No one even knew what I looked like.
"You know this would be a perfect time to give me some grandbabies I'm sure you can find a way around the elixir." Perenelle said in a motherly tone.
I felt heated eyes lock onto my very soul from my mindspace as all the girls heard babies. I gave Perenelle a bitter look as nick chuckled. They knew all about the soul bound marriages as they had one themselves. She was just causing me troubles for fun.
"I'll think about it." I say wryly.
After that terrifying event and the hard stares in my mind I tried to ignore. As my little obscurus was looking around trying to find enemies as I was giving off some fight or flight feelings.
We headed to get my robes done for hogwarts. I'd be getting my heir robes along with the standard robes. Of course I had these along with some t shirts with the family sigil on it.
You think I'm going to be wearing those ugly ass robes all the time? That's the worst part about going back to hogwarts yet again. If I have to go to another school again than it's going to be some place with regular clothes.
It wasn't long until the first arrived and yet again I was headed to the familiar train station. I dunno why they don't just apparate the children there? I mean I can understand this for muggleborn parents but for real why can't they use some common sense? Even a long rope portkey could do the trick.
On the plus side I'd get to see my beloved food trolley lady once more.
