Dawning Realization

Summary: What if, after Harry Potter's Fight with the Basilisk, the Venom and Phoenix tears purged his body of many potions he had been forced to ingest over the Years. Potions of loyalty, intelligence suppression, magic suppression, and anger suppression. Potions to make him mold-able and controllable, to keep him on the path to light and willing to stay with the Dursley's and eventually sacrifice himself for a world that could not give a damn. Well, this is that story...

Warning: Controlling, but good intentions Dumbledore... independent Harry Potter, self serving and intelligent Harry Potter who wants nothing more than to leave the Wizarding World...

Chapter Two: A Home is Where the Heart is

As he sits in his chair feeding the three mice born about a week ago he can't help but feel proud for their mother. All three of them are bright eyed and bushy tailed and, according to the goblins, completely healthy. Harry simply decided to raise them and let them decide if they wish to stay or bond with him. Rubbing the fur of one he smiles at her, she is one girl in the batch and she seems intent on staying near him for some reason. The other two come and go with the male staying more often than not. Unfortunately the girl who keeps coming and going seems a little shy.

"Lord Potter?" A voice calls from the doorway to his suite. Standing up with the little three in his hand he strides over to the door and sees the Potter Accountant. "It seems that we have found some interesting yet broken contracts. If you will follow after me we will take you to Director Ragnok to speak about the matter at hand." The three mice burrow into Harry's clothes and Harry sighs almost tiredly.

"Will you give me a quick moment to ensure that I am prepared?" The goblin nods as he steps away and goes into the hall to wait. Turning around he goes to his bedroom and coaxes the mice out before changing into a formal suit fit to meet someone so important. After lowering his hand the three eagerly jump into his clothes, namely a pocket designed to hold them in. Their heads stick out as they observe their surroundings.

Exiting his bedroom and then the suite he nods to the goblin who grins at him, looking almost vicious thanks to his sharp teeth. Following him through the halls Harry comes to the Office of Director Ragnok. Offering his hand for a shake the goblin readily accepts it before ushering him inside. He shakes hands with Ragnok as he starts looking at him from over his glasses. "Lord Potter, we have been searching through all records as is standard and found a few things you probably won't enjoy but will use happily. We just need verification so we wish to test your blood briefly. We have the testing tome here and we just need about a pint of blood. However, this pint will be split between two tests but seeing as we are sworn not to hurt a client unless in self defense you must cut your own hand." The goblin offers him two books inscribed in hundreds of runes with a few different formula on different pages.

Harry takes the offer of the dagger and looks at it curiously. Shrugging he deftly slices his palm open before filling up the bowl beside him and allowing it to separate it into two containers. Instantly after the blood cups are filled the smallest mouse scurries down his arm and licks his hand over and over again healing the wound rapidly. Harry smiles at her, she is his favorite, the one who always hangs out around him. "Thank you, Yuki." He says before realizing his mistake as she bonds with magic. The bond flows back and forth between the two of them and Harry realizes that this is what she wanted.

Looking up at Ragnok he doesn't question him when she grows into a Gerbil sized mouse. "Well, I can't explain this. I have been sworn to secrecy as have a few others but I can give you hints of where to find information." Director Ragnok says.

Harry shakes his head as he rubs her ears lovingly. "For now we need to go over the test results."

Harry takes the first book and flips it open to review it before freezing. There has to be at least two dozen families he can merge with his own due to them breaking the laws their family set up with his own. Eagerly the two of them begin talking about the results and what he can do with them.

FIVE HOURS LATER

/.-.-.-.\

Harry sighs as he watches the twenty former heads of their families argue with each other about why they were summoned to the meeting. Matron Weasley was arguing loudest that Sirius Black might have died in Prison and willed things to them. A few others simply sat quietly… The Malfoy, Nott, Crabbe, Goyle families sit arguing with the Weasley Family and the Dumbledore head, who is Albus himself, while the Longbottom family head, Miss Augusta Longbottom, sits sternly eyeing them with disapproval.

Suddenly the doors slam open as Director Ragnok strides into the room to pass out copied records for them to look over. They each only have things regarding their own family except for the Longbottom Matron. "This can't be real!" Molly Weasley screeches as she looks over the page.

"It is true. All of you here, besides Lady Longbottom, have broken your contracts with the House of Potter or Black or any of his related houses such as the Melrose and the Mordred linages. Seeing as Heir Potter has been dosed with Potions by Albus Dumbledore, Harry owns your family linage and don't try to argue." The families all look around before they notice the Augusta is sitting there with a frown. She stands up and turns toward Dumbledore slowly as if readying herself to put him in time out.

"You potioned him?" She says in a deathly cold voice. Albus looks around and his supporters are instantly scooting away besides the Weasley head. Arthur whirled around as well interested in the fact that he openly would do such a thing in front of others.

"It is for the greater-"

WHACK!

Everyone stays where they are in a stupor as Longbottom glares hatefully at Dumbledore. "You dare to harm the boy who lost his own family and, according to Neville, his own childhood? You left him in an abusive muggle household and now I know why. You wanted him to mold to be your perfect little puppet but when it failed you dosed him in Potions!" Her voice alone seems as cold as Winter in the North Pole.

Harry smiles as he listens to her defend him time and time again from every argument that is thrown at her. "He is a horcrux!" Dumbledore blurts out in a screeching voice.

"I DON'T GIVE A FUCK, ALBUS! USE A SIMPLE PURIFICATION RITUAL!" Albus slumps in confusion and the goblin in the room steps between them.

"The horcrux has already been removed by the bank's services. If you want to continue that topic, Bumble Bore please step into our local prison for starting a fight in our bank." The goblin sneers at him rudely and Molly pulls out her wand aiming it for the goblin.

"Protego!" Longbottom calls protecting the goblin from the cutting charm thrown at him. The guards enter the room and Madam Longbottom nearly gets thrown in with the two simpletons before the goblin shakes his head despite her willingly offering her wand to be taken from her.

"Seeing as we respect those who are allied with Goblin Friends we will not judge you for using such an advanced spell to defend a goblin worker. Yes, Harry is a Goblin Friend by Goblin Law." Harry frowns, he read about the title but he didn't think he was one of them. He makes a mental note to thank Director Ragnok for the title later.

"I won't have the person who befriended my grandson out of the goodness of his heart be ruined by the one meant to protect him. Despite him having potentially did it from the results of the Potions something tells me that once he finds out that they are God Brothers he might still want to hang around him. If he does I will be grateful." She says proudly before the goblin offers her a sheet of parchment. She takes it from him and begins reading it over. She nearly splutters before she nods regally to the goblin. She smirks at him and signs it fluidly.

Harry's eyes widen at the news before he scowls, another thing Dumbledore hid from him. He watches as a goblin strides over to him. "We lied, the horcrux is still there. We believe that even a purification ritual would kill you and seeing as you are goblin friend we have been trying to bargain for your life with the Dark Lord's disembodied soul." Harry turns toward him with a frown. The goblins never lied unless it benefited them and for them to do so to protect him… Harry offers his hand and the goblin shakes it already hearing word of how he shows his appreciation apparently. Releasing his hand Harry decides to write the dark lord to inform him of the Horcrux in his head. It might have actually affected him more than most think.

Looking at the arguing people in the room trying to keep what dignity they have Harry viciously grins at them. More than a few have used him for themselves without even a 'how do you like this' question thrown his way. After watching Madam Augusta claim the lord's ring Harry knows the offer will be what she appreciates the most.

"The contract, it seems that she is happy to spite them." Ragnok says from beside him as he enters the room. Harry nods in agreement. They watch through the one sided glass viewer as more than a few asked to meet with Harry to talk about their family. Harry simply decides to grant them the luxury of speaking with him as more than a few seem resigned and simply worried about their family. Arthur stands huffing mad, seeing as he is married to the hellion of a woman the only way for him to get his children out of the debt would be to offer his own life despite it not being what they want. Or so Harry can glean from the desperate look in his eyes. Hopefully he can move to Karakura Town soon. Supposedly he has some family there known as the Kurosaki Family who runs the Kurosaki Clinic.

Turning around he decides to spend the next week speaking with the various wizards bargaining for their family honor before going off to Japan regardless of what others wish for him to do. Striding out the door and down the hall Harry comes across something he never thought he would see among the goblins.

An elderly goblin man is begging on the corner asking for food or drink. Frowning he looks around, nobody else is paying him any mind. Striding over to the man Harry reaches into his pocket; he had packed a sandwich and juice thinking it would take a while to watch them argue. Handing them both to the goblin he watches him stare at him as if in a stupor. "Go ahead and eat. You look hungry." The man reaches out and taps his shoulder and Harry briefly feels a little magic flow into him. Knowing the man is simply grateful he simply smiles.

"Thank you, Little One." The goblin says before unwrapping the sandwich and beginning to choke it down hurriedly. Harry frowns; the man doesn't look like he has been taken care of very well.

"It is no trouble. If you wish I can provide you a home at one of my estates. I'll have to arrange a transport and a doctor's visit but I don't want to leave you here to possibly starve." The man looks at him as he pauses in eating his sandwich. He almost seems to be thinking about it. Then he shakes his head ruefully.

"I no have payment." He says sort of sadly. Harry frowns at him.

"What do you enjoy doing?" Harry asks already coming up with a plan. The goblin looks up at him for a long moment before reaching into his pocket and pulling out a seed. He pushes magic into it and it grows into a beautiful rose plant.

"I good growing plant." He seems to have trouble with English. Harry smiles at him happily. As he takes the flowering rose bush from him to look it over harry smiles. The flowers seem to have a little magic in them but considering how they were grown it makes sense.

"This is wonderful, I need someone to help tend to my plants and to teach me how to take care of them. The offer is still open and you can pay me with gardening if you wish." The goblin stares at him as if in awe before he nods and bows to him slightly. Harry gently takes his hand and begins leading him away quickly enough to tell him that he is in a hurry. Along the way he sees sneers directed at his new goblin friend that ignite his curiosity. The goblin has possibly been disgraced somehow and Harry wants to figure it out. Seconds later they arrive at the floo room. "The password is 'Maeneil Home One' to arrive. I don't think the language matters except for the name."

The goblin nods to him with apparent surprise. He hears a squeak as Yuki and her two siblings poke their heads out to look at him. With their noses twitching they sniff the air before making a happy sound and all but Yuki goes back into the pocket. Harry smiles at Yuki's observant eyes she glances at the holes in the goblin's clothes as if she is perplexed by them before she snorts and reaches out with her magic. Within seconds the cloth and other goods he has is completely restored for him. "Good job Yuki." Harry gently scratches behind her ears earning a hum of pleasure.

"Celestial Rodent…" The goblin beside him says in shock as he stares at Yuki. Yuki nods in agreement with the man and gives him a chipper smile before diving back into Harry's pocket. Harry almost giggles except for the deathly serious look on the man's face.

"Are you alright?" Harry asks. The goblin looks up at him and nods before tossing the powder into the fireplace and jumping inside. Harry quickly follows after him and arrives in time to see Minky staring at him as if trying to pry into his soul. "Minky, please escort our new friend to a room. He will be in charge of tending to the gardening and grounds. Also, make sure there is some goblin food scrounged up for him to dine on." Minky perks up and nods before speaking fluent gobbledegook and the goblin slowly follows after her almost curiously.

Turning back toward the Floo he quickly says the password, "Director Ragnok's Office!" Jumping into the floo he comes out just as Ragnok enters the rooms. They nod to each other as they sit to either side of the desk. "Director Ragnok, I would like to arrange a meeting with each of the families under my command. I know that it will be tiring with my medical studies but I am sure that it would be wise to arrange for them to have everything that they need." Ragnok blinks at him before nodding. Pulling out a sheet of parchment he begins calculating everything that may be needed.

"According to your ancestors when they signed the contract your family would own everything belonging to them and there would be no way for them to bargain. If you wish to bargain with them it would lose you a large amount of money and wealth but knowing you like I do I know you don't care… correct?" Ragnok briefly looks up at him and Harry nods as they begin going over everything.

/.-.-.-.\

Harry yawns tiredly as the trial against the Dursley family and Dumbledore begins. Harry knows he is going to bring up the Horcrux again but he has evidence that he doesn't have it. The goblins used a dampening spell to reduce the magic coming out of the scar to a limited 'residue' amount.
"We are here to conclude our judgement of the guilty." Harry blinks as he thought they just started.

"The defendant Dumbledore pleads not guilty. The others plead not guilty." A prim and properly dressed man says from beside the two families.

"Their reasons?" Amelia asks from the judge's podium.

"Dumbledore says Harry has a horcrux and the Dusrley family says they didn't even want Harry. That he was forced upon them by threats from Dumbledore and ordered to abuse him to make him meek and pliable." Everyone looks at Harry who rolls his eyes. Standing up he walks forward.

"The goblins have removed the horcrux via simple purification ritual. If need be you can scan my head for the residual magic left from the horcrux." Instantly more than a few aurors walk up to him and scan his forehead before they all look at each other.

"It is no longer there. There is only residue from a very strong dark magic." Arthur says from among them. The others nod in agreement as Dumbledore splutters in rage at being ousted.

"We find the defendants as Guilty. You are hereby…" Harry stands up again causing silence to reign.

"If I may provide an alternate punishment for the Dursleys?" Amelia raises an eyebrow as she nods. "The Dursley family considers magic as freakish. So why not have them judged by their own peers who would condemn them for being crazy psychopaths for harming a child over hallucinations. That would hurt them far more than being judged by us as they pride themselves for being normal and if the 'normal folk' condemn them… let's say that it won't be good for them." The Dursley family begins screeching and protesting far more than they had been before that statement.

Amelia smirks before nodding. "By sentencing of the court the Dursley family will be given to muggle authorities to be judged while information is placed in the hands of the queen. This means that their main governing body, the Parliament, will be judging the Dursley family." They scream in horror and Harry frowns as Dudley just sits there as if depressed. "Dumbledore will be placed into Azkaban and will remain there for the rest of his days. This meeting is adjourned." The hammer slams onto the desk and more than a few give Dumbledore hefty glares before marching out the door. Harry walks over to him knowing that they will seal his magic and looks at his shoes. He lets a tendril of his magic reach out and catch a sample of his magic containing all the man's knowledge. Turning around without saying a word he exits the room to find Ragnok outside waiting for him.

"Director Ragnok… I believe it is time to go to my new home and get a report on the possible houses." Ragnok nods before guiding him from the halls of the building. After traveling to Gringotts and into Harry's accounting office Ragnok motions for Harry to sit down. Before Harry can begin looking into his requirements Ragnok passes Harry a file titled 'Hitsugaya Clan Compound' which startles Harry.

Blinking at the file he reaches toward it and begins flipping through the pages to make sure it has the basic things. With each passing moment his eyes glitter more and more. After several long moments, which are actually an hour of looking over the file while Ragnok began collecting debts owed to him for a percentage, Harry looks up at Ragnok. "Director Ragnok… Am I related to them? The Hitsugaya Clan I mean?"

Director Ragnok looks over his circle rimmed glasses to peer at him almost hesitantly. Carefully placing the file he was working on to the side he looks at Harry as if perturbed. "The Hitsugaya Clan was one that was sold into slavery. The Emperor had renounced them as a clan and sold them into slavery to the highest bidder, one of your ancestors. They had done something disgraceful… They had killed the Heir to the Emperor in broad daylight where many others watched them. Thanks to the large number of witnesses they were sold to the highest bidder along with the 'cursed' family heirlooms. If you wish I can search and see if any of the freed descendants are alive and invite them to meet with you in regards to their family history." Harry frowns as the words are spoken but then his eyebrow crinkles at the last sentence.

"They were freed? By whom?" Ragnok blinks before reaching back into the file and flipping through it.

"It says right here that the man, who was the Head of the former clan, had been sentenced to death and your great, great, great grandfather decided to give the rest a chance at life of a freed slave. According to his journal he left in our care for the next heir to remember them he wanted them to forget the pain one of their own caused them. He wanted them to live without the relentless hell that they would go through in their homeland. Most of the grounds are in disarray but I am sure that our cousins in Japan can get it up and running in no time. Also, I am sure that all members of the family are considered as 'Potter Branch Family Members' and we will be able to find them if you wish to look for them." Harry nods with appreciation of the idea. After a few moments Harry has it organized for most of the house to be repaired and used to house homeless beings who are in need and can speak Japanese.

"Director Ragnok, remember the goblin I hired?" Ragnok's eyes darken, despite him not having found out what he did Ragnok was insistent that he would never know.

"I remember him quite well. Do you wish for me to assign him to the clan compound?" Harry shakes his head.

Smiling at the goblin who has not demanded the return of their exile he responds, "Not yet, there would be trouble if the hired aids hurt him. Actually I was thinking about clearing one or two buildings, updating everything, and then adding a few greenhouses if possible. I want him to use my green houses to start growing some plants for the greenhouses while focusing on medical potion ingredient plants to help in my medical studies. I plan on helping him to tend to them once I get advanced enough just in case I have to hide him every now and then to keep muggles away." Ragnok grins at him knowing that he is honest as usual. Suddenly three squeaks come from inside his pocket as Yuki and her siblings look around. Suddenly Yuki's stomach growls loudly as she directs pleading eyes at Ragnok.

He grins graciously before reaching into his top drawer and pulling out a lot of cheese on a platter. The three of them lunge at the cheese and begin eating before Yuki nuzzles into the cheese to make a makeshift nest. Harry blinks at the thought that they are making cheese into a nest before he sees the others using their magic to make the cheese expand somewhat and become a home-like den. "Strange. I guess I need to buy them some cheese to make a home. Dobby!"

CRACK!

"MASTER HARRY POTTER SIR CALLED FOR DOBBY?!" The joyful elf says before seeing the three rodents. He gapes at the rodents before Harry remembers the name Fringol mentioned when he seen them.

"Yes I did, I want a few books on Rodents to be found so I can better care for Yuki and her siblings. Also, I want you to get a huge cheese wheel for them to make a 'nest' out of." Dobby salutes him before popping away hurriedly. Harry sighs almost tiredly before he turns back toward Ragnok. Ragnok grins at him as they begin going over more paperwork.

/.-.-.-.\

Harry stretches as he gets off the plane. The goblins decided to use an air plane to get him to Japan as that would be easier than getting a international Portkey to Japan. Looking around for the people that offered to house him he blinks at the sight of relatively human people holding a sign emblazoned with his full name. Picking up his suitcase and his three trunks he lugs them onto a cart and makes his way over to him.

Two of them are girls, twins if his magic is correct. The first has a tomboyish appearance and black hair and the other is cute, chipper and blond. The older boy, who is about 16, has vivid orange hair and is scowling at everyone around them. The man holding the sign is black haired and dancing around like he is hyper and on a sugar rush.

"Kurosaki?" He asks as he comes to a stop next to them. The four of them instantly focus on him and Harry flushes with embarrassment.

"Yes, Heir Potter. We are the Kurosaki Family. If you will follow us we will get your room organized. We changed an old storage room in the clinic to act as your bedroom." Isshin comments as the teenage boy grabs the cart and begins taking off with it.

"I got to wait for Hedwig. She hasn't come out of the animal den yet." Harry says causing them to stop and Isshin squeals with excitement. Harry is pulled along by Isshin until they come across an animal relay belt. Hedwig hoots at him as he approaches her. Opening her cage causes her to leap for his shoulder before she starts peering around almost curiously. "This is Hedwig." Hedwig looks at the family and tilts her head as if saying hello.

"Kawaii!" The blond girl says as she reaches for her. Hedwig carefully perches on her shoulder and hoots at her before she nibbles on her ear.

"She likes you." Harry says in Japanese. The girl smiles as if excited. "She likes it when people rub her beak." The girl nods before cautiously reaching her hand up and rubbing her beak earning hoots of obvious delight.

Harry smiles as he begins following the orange haired teenager toward what he assumes is a car. After arriving Harry sighs as he gets into a SUV and they head toward the 'Kurosaki Clinic' never knowing that Snape is following them at a distance hoping to keep Harry safe.
