Harry’s New Family

“Hello, my name is *Arabella* Figg. I have just moved in and I’m introducing myself to all the neighbors.
I'm also offering to baby sit when anyone has to go somewhere important.
“Why thank you. I’ll be sure to call you, if my husband and I can’t take our son with us.
“Wonderful, I can’t wait to meet him.” Ms. Figg said, with a smile. Before she walked away, “Oh, I understand that you also have a nephew.”
“I’m sorry, I don’t know what you’re talking about. There’s just my husband, son and myself.” Petunia said, trying not to show fear.
“I’m sorry, I must have misunderstood.” Ms. Figg said before leaving. She walked straight home. Reaching her house, she contacted Headmaster Albus Dumbledore right away, to tell him what she had found out.
“Arabella, how wonderful to see you.” Said Albus.
“Albus, we have a problem.” Interrupted Arabella.
“What is it?” Albus asked, when he saw how serious she was.
“Harry Potter is not with his aunt.” Answered Arabella.
“Are you sure?” Dumbledore asked, in a serious voice.
“Yes, but she could be lying.”
“Well, then keep an eye out and contact me when you’re sure.” Dumbledore said, before disconnecting.

The next morning, everyone got up, washed, dressed and ate before heading over to Williams Ellison’s home. It was thirty minutes later when they arrived at the house, and were welcomed by Lucy.
“Jimmy, it’s so good to see you.” Lucy said, as she hugged Jim.
“It’s good to see you to Lucy.” Jim said, as returned her huge. “Lucy, you remember Blair.”
“Of course. Please come.” Lucy said, as he showed them in. She then led them to the living room, “Mr. Ellison, your son is here.”
“Thank you, Lucy. Boys come in.”
“Hi, dad. I would like for you to met your grandson.” Said Jim. “Dad, this is Harry James
Potter-Sandburg-Ellison.”
Looking at the boy, William can see some of Jim in him, “He’s a very hansom boy.” William said, with a smile. “Why all those last names?”
“We want him to remember his birth parents.” Blair said, as he toke Harry from Jim.
“Why?” William asked, in a surprised voice.
That was when Blair explained everything to Williams; from the magic to the way the Potter’s died. At first William was surprised and then skeptical.
With a smile on his face, Jim looked at Harry, “Harry, baby show grandpa your favorite game.” Said Jim.
Smiling back Harry stretched out his hand and a red rubber ball came flying towards him.
“How?” Williams asked, in surprised voice.
“It’s magic.” Answered Jim.
Realizing that his new grandson had abilities almost like his son’s, William decided that he would encourage him. He didn’t want to loose his grandson, like he lost his son, because he was ashamed of being special.
With a smile William took Harry into his arms, “What a good boy. Can you show grandpa some more magic?” Asked William.
“I don’t think he’s able to control it, yet.” Said Jim.
“No, he’s still too young.” Agreed William. That was when he realized that Steven hadn’t said anything yet.
“Steven, are you all right?”
“Yes, I’m just surprised that our family is so diverse.” Steven said, in wonder.
“In what way?” Asked Blair.
“Well Jim with his senses, Blair with his ability to help him and now Harry with his magic.” Answered Steven.
“I guess we’re just a special that way.” Jim answered, with a smile.
Just then Harry began to giggle, causing everyone to look around, “What’s so funny?” Blair asked, as he looked around. (Is there someone special here, that we can’t see, but he can?) Blair thought to himself.
Just then Lucy walked in carrying milk and cookies, “I thought he could do with a snack.”
“Thank you, Lucy.” Blair said, as he poured the milk and handed a cookie to Harry.
With a squeal Harry took the cookie from Blair and began to nibble and occasionally would drink the milk from Blair. While Harry had his snack, everyone else talked about who would get to sit Harry when Jim and Blair had to be at work, and when Daryl couldn’t watch him. It was around eleven when Jim and Blair realized they had to leave, so Harry could take his nap. Also, Steven knew he had to leave to get to work for a meeting he had that afternoon.
“Dad, would you be able to watch Harry next week?” Jim asked, before leaving.
“Of course, Jimmy.” William said, before giving Harry a kiss.
As Jim and Blair were driving home, “When do you want to travel to see the Chopec?” Asked Blair.
“I believe before the end of the week, would be a good idea.” Answered Jim.

11:00 a.m.
Thirty minutes later, they arrived at the loft, and Blair decided to put Harry down for his nap.
“We should pack for our trip to South America.” Blair said, as he sat down next to Jim.
“We should do that now, while Harry is taking his nap.” Suggested Jim.
“That’s a great idea.” Agreed Blair. “Let’s do it now while Harry’s sleeping.”
12:00 p.m.
It was an hour later when Harry awoke from his nap and was given a snake by Blair. Then Jim and Blair continued to prepare for their trip to South America and the Chopec village. They had just finished preparing everything, when Harry came running toward them laughing.
“Hey sport, who are you playing with?” Jim asked, as he picked him up.
“Man wif funy hair.” Harry answered, with a giggle.
“Do you think it could be Incacha?” Inquired Blair.
“You never know.” Jim said, as he began to tickle Harry.
“No, no tikle.” Giggled Harry.
“You heard Harry, no tickle.” Blair said, with a smile.
“Ok, then I’ll tickle….you.” Jim said, as he began to tickle Blair. Seeing what was going on, Harry joined Jim in tickling Blair, causing all of them to laugh.
“Ok, guy I’m all tickled out.” Blair said, a minute later.
Just then the telephone rang, “Ellison.” Jim said, as he answered the phone.
“Ellison, this is Banks. I know I told you, you can take the week off but a situation came up and we need you in.”
“Sure, we’ll be there in an hour. Let us drop Harry off at my fathers’.” Said Jim.
“See you then.” Simon said, before hanging up the phone.
“Who was that?” Blair asked, as he watched Jim get ready.
“Simon, he needs us in.” Answered Jim. “Let me call dad, and see if he can watch Harry.”
“Ellison residence.”
“Hey, Lucy is dad in?” Asked Jim.
“Yes, would you like to speak with him?”
“If it’s not too much trouble. Thank you, Lucy.”
A minute later, “What’s wrong Jimmy?” Asked William.
“I was wondering if you could take Harry. We need to go to the station, something came up.”
“Of course, bring him over.”
Ten minutes later all three of them arrived at William Ellison’s house. Knowing that Harry was going to be scared and unsure of what was going to happen, Blair made a deal with the spirit animals to stay until they came back.
“Harry, papa and I have to go to work. So you will stay with grandpa until we come back. But don’t worry Paafoo and Moon will stay with you.” Explained Blair. “Ok?”
“Ota.” Harry whispered, with tears in his voice.
“Hey, there’s no reason to cry. You remember grandpa, don’t you?” Asked Jim.
“Yef.” Whispered Harry.
“Good boy.” Jim said, as he kissed Harry on the head.
Standing up, “We’ll pick him up as soon as we can.”
“Take all the time you need. We’ll be fine.”
8:00 p.m.
It was around eight o’clock in the afternoon, when Jim and Blair finally were able to leave the station, after going through all their resources in trying to find a drug dealer. Finally around six o’clock they caught the felon and another two hours of paper work, before they could leave.
It was around nine o’clock, when they arrived at William’s house, “Why don’t you let him stay and pick him up tomorrow.” Suggested Williams.
“You wouldn’t mind?” Asked Blair.
“Of course not. We had a wonderful time.”
“Ok, thanks dad.” Jim said, before they left.
“Oh, Jim. You should also know that I bought Harry new clothes and toys.”
“William, you shouldn’t have.” Said Blair.
“I know, but that’s what grandfather’s are for.”
“Thanks dad.” Jim said, as he hugged his father.
“We’ll see you tomorrow.”

The next morning, Jim and Blair got up and began to pack for their trip to South America. When they were finished, they ate, dressed and then drove to William’s house to pick up Harry. They arrived at the house around eleven o’clock, to see Jim’s father and Harry in the front yard planting flowers.
“Hey. What are you doing?” Blair said, as they walked up to the two of them.
Hearing Blair’s voice, Harry turned around and began to run toward Jim and Blair, “Wow, partner be careful, you’re a little dirty.” Jim said, as he gingerly picked up Harry.
“Good to see you boys.” Williams said, as he met them half way.
“Good to see you too dad.” Jim said, as he shook his fathers hand.
“Dad, would you let us wash him, before we take him home?” Asked Jim, as he walked toward the house.
“Sure.”
“Dad, we are leaving on a trip for a few days.” Jim said, as they walked into the house.
“Where are you going?”
“South America, to the Chopec.”
“Why?” Williams asked, with trepidation in his voice.
“We want Harry to learn about their ways. Maybe they will be able to help him with his magic.” Answered Blair.
Thirty minutes after washing and changing Harry, they left for the airport for their trip to South America. Arriving at the airport around one o’clock, and had to wait for an hour before they were able to board the plane. While they waited to board the plane, they grabbed some lunch, because Harry was becoming cranky. They were just finishing their lunch, when their plane was called.
It was around three o’clock when they landed in Peru and then rented a truck, so they could drive all the way to the outskirts of the Chopec jungle. Then they began to walk, until Jim stopped.

3:30 p.m.

“We are being watched.” Jim said, in Chopec.
“I will change myself and Harry.” Blair said, as he began to change them both.
