Third person POV

July 27th, 1997 - The battle of the 7 potters' part 1

Night time had fallen over Little Whining. Harry potter wondered round in an empty 4 Privet Drive, Hermione had obliviated her parents before leaving to go to the others and Ron was waiting around at the burrow with the rest of the Weasley's and everyone else who was involved with the move of Harry.

Harry looked around the house he had grown up in before finally looking at the cupboard that he spent 11 years of his life sleeping in. He thoughts ran wild with his life before Hogwarts and how it used to be for him. A sudden tap on the housed front door caused him to pull out his wand before cautiously opening it to reveal a small sea of people waiting on the lawn. "Hello Harry" the voice of Hagrid came as Ron and Hermione entered the house to be hugged by Harry who was so happy to see them.

"You're looking fit" Hagrid started but was cut off by Moody. "Yeah, he's absolutely gorgeous" he said sarcastically "Lest say we get under cover before someone murders him" he said pushing through everyone. "Evening" Harry said sarcastically as the rest of the order came inside. Everyone gathered round the empty front room.

"Kingsley, I thought you were looking after the prime minister?" Harry asked him. "You are more important" he replied. He nodded turning round to come face to face with Bill Wesley "Hello Harry, Bill Weasley" he said shaking Harry's hand to introduce himself. "Oh, pleasure to meet you" Harry said. "He was never always this handsome" said Fred as he entered the room with y/n and George following behind. "Dead ugly" George said earning him a shove from Y/n.

Moody soon burst into the room pushing past Remus and Tonks. "Alright, alright you'll have time for a cozy catch up later. We've got to get the hell out of here and soon. Potter your underage which means you've still got the trace on you" he said. "What's the trace?" Harry asked. "It means if you sneeze the ministry will know who wipes your nose. The point is we have to use those means of transport the trace can't detect. Brooms, Thestral and the likes. we go in pairs. That way if anyone's out there waiting for us and I reckon there will be they won't know which Harry potter is the real one." Moody said.

"The real one?" Harry asked.

"I believe you're familiar with this particular brew" Moody said pulling out the flask of the potion.

"No absolutely not" Harry said shaking his head.

"Told you he'd take it well," said Hermione.

"No, if you think I'm going to let everyone risk their life for me. I -" Harry stuttered the last part

"Never done that before have we?" Ron said.

"NO! No this is different. Taking that, becoming me, no!" Have said raising his voice slightly.

"Well, none of us really fancy it mate." said Fred. "Yeah, imagine if something goes wrong and we ended up a scrawny specky git forever" Said George which earnt him a shove from y/n. "Stop being a prat" y/n said to both twins. Moody gave y/n a thankful nod.

"Everyone here is of age Potter. They've all agreed to take the risk" Said moody.

"Alright Granger as discussed" Hermione then walked forward and pulled out some of Harry's hairs from his head. "Blimey Hermione!" Harry exclaimed.

"Straight in here, if you please" he said as Hermione placed the hairs in the flask, and it bubbled up. All the people who were transforming into Harry began lining up ready to take the potion. "Fair warning it tastes like goblin piss" Moody said handing the flask to Fred. "Have a lot of experience with that, do you mad-eye?" Fred said which earnt him a look of annoyance from him. "Just trying to diffuse the tension" Fred said before taking a swig from the flask and then passing it to George next to him. "Be safe" George said giving Y/n a quick kiss before taking the potion and then passing on the flask to her. The flask was passed down the line until everyone had taken it.

One by one the Harrys appeared. "Wow were identical" Exclaimed Fred and George simultaneously.

"Not yet you're not" Moody said throwing a bag of clothes on to the floor for everyone to change into. One everyone had finally changed moody spoke up again. "As you know were going off in pairs as discussed. As for Harry" Moody said which caused all the Harrys to call out "Yes". "The real Harry, Where the devil are you anyway?" he asked.

"Here" the real Harry called stepping forward.

"You'll ride with Hagrid," said Moody.

"I brought you here 16 years ago, when you were no bigger than a bowtruckle. Seems only right that I should be the one to take you away now" Hagrid said with a small sniffle.

"Yes, it's all very touching. Let's go!" Shouted Mad-Eye.
