Hanging his head, the eight year old boy whispered to himself, "I wish that I could go someplace else. I hate lving in a cupboard and being thought of as garbage."
Normally, a person would not hav the strength to do what would happen next. However, Stonehenge is a major focal point for magic and Harry Potter was a potentially powerful mage. Harry's honest wish and untrained powers activated the stone circle.
Harry looked up, as the stone circle started glowing and the color the stones glowed flickered between red and blue. "What's going on?"
Haryy saw the Dursleys look at him in accusation and Mr. Dursley started walking towards Haryy with a viscious look on his face. Haryy shrank back against the stone and shivered in fear. However, whatever Mr. Dursley had thought of doing was not to be. Harry watched as Stonehenge faded away and a medevial looking town appeared in its place. A short, red haired, red eyed girl looking to be about ten or eleven had saw his appearance and walked over.
"Hello. Who are you? How did you get here?"
Harry answered, "My name is Haryy Potter and I have no idea how I got here. Stonehenge lit up like magic and I appeared here."
The girl scratched her head in confusion. "Stonehenge? Stonehenge? Never heard of it. What does it look like?"
Harry gave the description of Stonehenge to the girl and she laughed a bit.
"Ah. A stone circle. No use to me. That's not my style of magic."
"Magic exists? But my Uncle Vernon keeps telling me that magic does not exist," Harry said, and added in a very soft whisper. "Usually, while he's beating me with a belt."
The girl got a furious look on her face. "Where's your parents?"
Harry looked up at the abrupt change of topic. "Um. They're dead. They died when I was a baby. I was raised by my Uncle Vernon for the past seven years."
The girl grabbed Harry's sleeve and dragged him to his feet. "Come on. We're going to talk to Sis about this. Mom and Dad are too busy with the store."
Harry got to his feet and followed the girl. "By the way, what's your name?"
"Ooops. Sorry. Lina. Lina Inverse," the girl replied.
Lina and Harry entered the tavern where Luna worked and Lina asked to talk to Luna for a bit. Lina shivered a bit as Luna walked up with an irritated expression on her face.
"What's up Lina?"
Lina poined to Harry and said, "This boy, Harry Potter, appeared in a flash of light. Maybe you should talk to him."
Luna nodded and through various questions got the whole story behind Harry's past. Well, not the whole story, just what Harry knew.
"Well, Harry. I'd say that you must have some magical ability and you triggered Stonehenge somehow," Luna said. "As to your past, I'm going to talk to Mom and Dad about that."
"About what?" Harry asked.
Luna smiled, "How does the name Harry Inverse sound to you? You'll be our little brother."
"Adoption?" Harry began. "B-but, don't you have to fill out paperwork and...."
Luna held up a hand. "In your world, yes. But, this isn't your world."
Casting a stern look at a shuddering Lina, Luna went on, "Lina will help you with learning magic. In a couple of years, she'll be leaving on her journey."
Lina concealed a smile and whispered to herself, "I'll also have graduated the College of Magic."
Haryy looked between the two girls and nodded. Luna patted his shoulder and went back to work.
Lina took her soon to be younger brother outside. "Welcome to the Inverse family Harry. We'll start with a Lighting spell."
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Back on Harry's world, there was a panic at Hogwarts about what happened. Dumbledore sighed, as he looked into a scrying bowl.
"I should have kept a stern eye on the Dursleys. Bloodline prtoection spells didn't protect Harry from his own powers and the Dursleys."
His eyes widened as he saw an image of Harry and a young girl appear in the bowl. He was able to read the girl's lips for a bit before the spell faded.
'Welcome to the Inverse family Harry.'
Dumbledore sat back and sighed in relief. "Looks like he's been adopted into a family on another world. He's got three years before he's eligible to attend here. It'll give me time to make a few transpotation amulets. Some VERY powerful amulets. World jumping is not something that can be done easily."
Professor McGongall came into Headmaster's office.
McGongall closed her eyes and said, "We've wiped the minds of the incident from everyone there, including the Dursleys. They now believe that Harry ran away. All they said about Harry's vanishing was good riddance."
"In a way it was. Harry has been taken in by a family on another world. By the time he's ready to start studying magic, he'll think of himself as Harry Inverse. Out of fustration, I scryed on the other three worlds. Harry is on the world of Cephied and Shabranigdo."
Professor McGongall breathed a sigh of relief. "I take it your going to leave him on that world for now."
Dumbledore nodded. "For now and that's where he'll go when school's out. I've got some talismans to make. The Inverse family doesn't look to be a notable family. Harry should be fine."
