Harry Potter and the New Beginning

Free At Last

In a small village on the outskirts of Surrey sat a small boy on a bench, in a park. He was silently watching mothers playing with their children, trying to gain any memories of his own parents. The young boy was of a slight frame, standing only slightly over five feet tall. His dark green eyes sat behind round, thin glasses perched upon an impeccably aristocratic nose. His thin face was framed with high cheekbones and almost midnight black, tousled hair. Watching the young children running, with clouds of dust expanding behind them, a product of the latest drought to plague Little Whinging this summer; Harry Potter was only slightly oblivious to the glares that most of the parents were sending his way. Noticing the late hour, he immediately made his way home.

Over the previous two years, Harry had been attending a boarding school in northern Scotland; he could only begin to imagine what his Uncle Vernon had been telling the neighbourhood. It was well known in both the circles of Little Whinging and of Harry's community that he and his relatives were not the closest of families. Harry had lived with his relatives since his first year of life, after his parents had been killed by a mad man. Up until his eleventh birthday Harry had been abused, neglected and all around treated quite horribly by his relatives. They however were now more afraid of him, than of the legal repercussions of their actions; this is because, and unknown to the rest of the village, Harry Potter was a Wizard.

For the past week, Harry had been under tight security by his relatives after an incident last summer which required the replacement of the brick-work around his bedroom window and of the hydrangea bushes below. Until that is, this morning during breakfast when Harry received a letter by owl; with a quick lie his relatives were convinced that the letter was only able to be read by Wizards, and was ordering them to allow Harry leave from the house. In reality it was Harry's Hogwarts letter, delivered earlier this year to allow children the time to prepare for a new and more advanced year.

Yours Sincerely,

Deputy Headmistress

Harold James Potter

(Order of Merlin, Second Class, Honorary Member of the Dark Force Defence League)

House: Gryffindor

Date of Birth: 31 July, 1980.

Astronomy-Professor Selene Sinistra: 78

Mr Potter has demonstrated competency in recognising constellations and is able to correctly orient his telescope, as well as identify characteristics of planetary alignment. He would benefit from better study habits.

Charms-Professor Filius Flitwick: 92

Mr Potter has been a pleasure to instruct, he has shown levels on par with his mother who did achieve the title of Charms Mistress. His practical skills far outweigh his written work, he would do well to study more and be more active in class, Advanced Charms are recommended for his remaining years.

Defence Against the Dark Arts-Professor Quirenius Quirrel (First Year): 85

Mr Potter is well-versed in counter jinxes and hexes, he is able to correctly identify basic dark creatures. He shows great prowess in spell casting, he may be eligible for Advanced Defence if his written work improves.

Professor Gilderoy Lockhart: 65

Mr Potter has shown very little competence in his studies. He has not read any of his course material and is a constant disruption in class. It is not recommended for his Defence career to continue.

-Amendment-Headmaster Dumbledore

Professor Quirrel, while unfortunately a servant of the Dark, was a competent teacher, Mr Lockhart however was not. It has been proven that the exploits outlined in his books are the work of others. Mr Lockhart was greatly skilled with the Memory Charm.

Flying-Professor Rolanda Hooch: 100

Mr Potter has shown great ability on the broom, his skills would be well put to use as a professional Quidditch player, or as a Broom Developer.

Herbology-Professor Pomona Sprout: 75

Mr Potter has demonstrated considerable ability in caring for magical plantlife. His written work however is somewhat lacking. Advanced Herblore is not recommended for future years.

History of Magic-Professor Randall Binns: 70

Mr Potter's work is lacking in enthusiasm. Creating names of ancient figures is not recommended for future essay work. Ancient Civilizations may prove more interesting for Mr Potter than Goblin and Giant rebellions.

Potions-Professor Severus Snape: 72

Mr Potter has shown some competency in brewing all but the most complex. His written work is abysmal and he would do well to study more, and stay off the Quidditch pitch. Less distraction may prove in his best interests. Advanced Potions, while not recommended, are available to him.

Transfiguration-Professor Minerva McGonagall: 88

Mr Potter's written work, while somewhat informative would do well to be better researched. While not at the level of his father, his practical work is excellent. Advanced Transfiguration is recommended to Mr Potter.

Reading through these sheets, Harry was amazed at his teacher's comments. Realising that he actually hadn't put much effort into his written work, he digressed. He was however, still amazed at the comments given by Professor Snape, they actually seemed to be complimenting him!

As Harry approached the door of Number 4 Privet Drive, he began feeling anxious he was about to do the unthinkable, and could very well be condemning himself to a summer of darkness. Placing his hand on the cold metal of the door handle, he realised that he had been locked out. Harry walked into the back yard, where he quickly found a plate with a stale piece of bread and a lump of semi-mouldy cheese sitting on the stoop. He lobbed the cheese into Mrs Nextdoor's runner-beans and brought the plate into the kitchen while chewing on the hard bread. He poured himself a glass of water and tip-toed silently up the stairs and into his room. Harry sat down on his bed and checked the broken clock on his nightstand, '9:00, Uncle Vernon should be in bed soon, and Dudders is likely to be out having 'tea' with Piers' he thought silently.

Harry sat silently as he heard his Uncle grunting up the stairs, and into his room. He quickly stood and crept downstairs to where Aunt Petunia was watching the gossip channel, a new obsession of hers. He walked into the small living room and cleared his throat. Petunia jumped slightly before whipping herself around.

"Oh, Its' only you is it? Well what do you want boy?"

Slouching over and making his voice tremble a bit, Harry replied, "Erm, A-Aunt Petunia, I was wondering I-if you could take me to the ma-Er freakish… shopping district in the morning? My school, they've sent my supply list early so I can get in a little studying before next term…"

"What? You want me to go to that disgusting place with you? How dare you I-"

"B-But Aunt Petunia, I need an adult to go into my b-bank vault to get some gold. And I-I also need to go shopping in some…normal places, please Aunt Petunia? I think Uncle Vernon would like it if I went before…Aunt Marge gets here at the end of the month," he said, internally smirking.

"Did you say Gold, Boy? Fine, you're right it would be better to get this done before Marge gets here, she doesn't know about you…And she won't find out will she Boy!"

"No Aunt Petunia,"

"Good, now get up to your room, I'll be leaving promptly at 7, don't be late or you won't be going!"

The next morning, Harry woke up at 6:00 and took a very fast shower, as Vernon had a 'very important meeting that day and was required to look his best'. After making a large breakfast for his relatives, he dressed in his best clothes (a pair of relatively well fitting, faded jeans, and an old collared polo), and threw on one of his plain black cloaks. He tucked his wand into a pocket, grabbed his coin pouch and ran to the front door where his Aunt inspected him with her nose upturned. As they pulled out of the drive the only words said were,

"Where is this… this place?"

"Charing Cross Road,"

A grunt was the only reply.

When they exited the car at a Parking Garage, Harry led them down the road until he stopped in front of a small bookshop.

"Why have you stopped Boy? I see no freakish stores around here anywhere! Are you enjoying yourself, dragging me half way across London to stop at some slum, lowlife booksho-"

"You're going to have to hold my hand Aunt Petunia, Mug-Erm… Normal people can't see the entrance,"

"Well how rude!"

"Yes Aunt Petunia,"

Grabbing his Aunt's bony hand, Harry walked through the entrance of The Leaky Cauldron, which he had been looking at for the past two minutes. As they stepped in he heard his Aunt's noncommittal grunt at the state of the old, dingy pub. With a quick nod to Tom, Harry led his Aunt to the back alley where she gave another exasperated sigh,

"I suppose this is another of those invisible entrances your kind is so keep on isn't it?"

"Actually, it isn't," Harry said as he tapped the correct brick with his wand. The bricks began to separate, opening into a large, just opening street.

"Welcome, Aunt Petunia, to Diagon Alley," came the sarcastic voice of Harry, knocking his Aunt out of her stupor.

Still holding his Aunt's hand, Harry warned her about the Goblins of Gringotts Bank. As they walked through the just arriving crowds, they could hear small shouts of 'Theres Harry Potter!', 'Can you see the scar?', 'Is that his Aunt?', and 'Someone get the Daily Prophet!' Walking up the white marble steps of Gringotts, Harry felt his Aunt's hand tense as she saw the small Goblin clothed in golden armour. He walked to the closest teller and placed his vault key on the desk.

"I would like to visit my Vault please,"

"Of course," said the elderly Goblin, before inspecting the small key, and then his stark white aunt, "Mr Potter, is this your legal guardian?"

After and uncomfortable glance shared by both Harry and his Aunt, he quickly nodded yes.

"Excellent. Please follow me," came the harsh gravelled voice of the goblin.

Harry followed the Goblin towards a far door and entered. They found themselves in a rather cramped office with a young looking (less wrinkled) Goblin seated at the desk. The Goblin looked up and smiled, baring his sharp yellowing teeth.

"Ah, Mr Potter and Mrs Dursely please sit down. I'll fetch the records," he said while rifling through various sheets of parchment layering his desk.

Aunt Petunia was the first to sit, breathing quite heavily and sending a glare of pure poison towards her nephew, who simply shrugged and sat in the second wooden chair.

"Mr…" Harry looked around for a nametag, "Glaptrot, could you please explain what we are doing here?"

"Just one moment, Ah, here it is," the Goblin said, pulling a thick file from under a precariously stacked group of parchment, "We're here today to sign over the Potter Family Vaults to your possession. We required your legal guardian to be present, and until now Mrs Dursley has not been to Gringotts,"

"I thought I had the Potter Family Vaults, Sir"

"No, No, you have the Potter Trust Vault. The Potter Family Vaults contain considerably more money than that."

"Oh, of, of course."

Quickly signing the papers, Harry and Petunia were led towards the Potter Vault, all the while Harry was being scolded for not informing his generous relatives of his fortune. When they arrived at the vault, Harry stared at the unadorned wooden door that was stuck into the bedrock in front of him.

"Only a Potter may open this door, here is your key Sir" squeaked the small Goblin at the front of their cart.

Taking the key, Harry helped his Aunt out of the cart noticing that she was a little green around the edges; and stuck the large wrought iron key into the lock and turned it. The wooden door opened with a loud creak and released a cloud of smoke. Inside the Vault, Harry saw mountains of Gold and Jewels, two large trunks, and a large pedestal in the centre of the vault. Petunia immediately went to examining the large jewels, while Harry examined the trunks. Opening them, Harry discovered that they were his parent's school trunks and contained all of their school books, notes, and equipment. Noting that all the school books he would need were located in either trunk, he immediately scratched them off of his shopping list for the day.

Next, Harry went to the pedestal, upon which sat an enormous tome, the size of Dudley's newest television (24") and almost as thick. On either side of the book was a golden ring, one obviously made for a man, and one for a woman. On the thick leather cover of the book, and on each of the rings was a coat-of-arms. It depicted a golden griffin with a large snake both advancing on a retreating figure in a black cloak. Placing the ring on his right ring finger, a jolt of something shocked him. Shaking his head, he opened the book.

A note at the beginning of the book noted that in the year 1427, William Potter crafted and cast the Wards over Hogwarts School, which was in danger from Muggle witch hunts. This action tied ward magic to the Potter line. The rings were created to allow Potters to communicate with wards. All wards were sentient, and this allowed those with the ability to communicate with them to have full control. The rest of the book was a detailed guide to creating, casting, and breaking wards. Picking it up, he scooped mounds of galleons into his pouch, which seemed to have a featherweight charm on it; and made his way to the door. He stood watching as Petunia took a large ruby from underneath a pile and walked over to him.

"I also found this book, I don't know what language it is, but I thought you might want It." she pushed a thin leather book into his hands and went back into the cart.

Harry stood in shock, there on the cover of the thin book, embossed in silver were the words,

Parslemagic: Gifted to Diane Potter by Salazar Septimus Slytherin

"Though our love could not be, allow our children a gift from their father"

Hearing his Aunt clearing her throat rather unsubtly, Harry tucked the smaller book inside his robes and locked the vault.

Once they had left Gringotts, Harry and Petunia were mobbed by a group of reporters and photographers.

"Boy, Er, Harry… What is all this? What have you done?"

"I was born. Quickly, they haven't done this before; you look a little green, are you alright?"

"Yes, yes I'm fine. Can we hurry up please, I erm…would like to get home soon,"

"Yes Aunt Petunia,"

Pushing their way through the crowd, they slowly bought all of the items on his list. They bought the robes second to last. Harry instructed Madam Malkin to imprint the Potter coat-of arms on the entire dragon hide set (to which Harry added breeches and a breastplate) while she grumbled about having to sell 'Bloody stupid medieval clothing'. Their last stop was one to Ollivanders, for the runic wand and dagger. Entering the musty shop, Mr Ollivander swept down upon them like a vulture would to roadkill.

"Ah Mr Potter, back so soon are we? What can I help you with today?"

"Hello Mr Ollivander, I need a runic wand and dagger,"

"Ah yes, runes, a very interesting subject I believe," came Ollivander's voice as he perused the shelves.

Mr Ollivander brought out a thin box and took out a pure white wand, etched with golden runes.

"Elfwood, 14 ¼ inches, unicorn tear core, inflexible, I do believe Mr Potter that this will be a perfect match."

When Harry took the wand he felt a familiar surge of power as the runes glowed a bright green, Petunia gasped and wrung her hands together her face was even greener than it had been walking out of Gringotts.

"Well Mr Potter, a runic wand is generally required to be combined with your original wand to be able to properly cast spells, if you leave yours here I will have them finished along with an accompanying athame within the hour."

"Alright then, I think I'll go to Fortescues for a little bit. I'll be back in an hour"

When they got to the Ice Cream shop Harry looked at his aunt who was still looking quite sick and seemed so be dizzy.

"Aunt Petunia? Are you alright?"

"I… I'm not sure, I need to sit down,"

"No, I'm taking you to the closest Healer come with me,"

Inside the Diagon Alley Healer's office, Medi-Witch Sarah Sifler was quite surprised when Harry Potter stepped in, and even more so when they discovered that his aunt had contracted a form of Mongolian Measles that was exclusive to squibs. The stunned aunt had fainted when the word squib was explained to her. Sarah was now examining Harry, seeing as the last healer's appointment he had made was on his first birthday. What she found shocked her, his teeth had yet to be straightened and showed signs of brushing (wizards generally had dental spells applied from an early age), he had numerous scars to be repaired, and his eyes had yet to be repaired. The most shocking things she had discovered however were not the lack of medical care but the numerous charms applied directly to Harry. The first thing she had noticed wrong when she tested his magical growth were the numerous binding charms applied directly to his magical core and blood. The worst however, were numerous memory, intellect-suppressing, and emotion-altering charms. These charms were developed to control Muggles who had witnessed magic, and were highly illegal to use against other Wizards.

When Harry found out about the charms he could only think of who had done this to him, and why. He immediately asked to have them removed. While the Medi-Witch prepared the potions, he sat thinking about what he would do once he found out who had put the charms on him. Harry sat up straight when the Medi-Witch entered,

"Please take these potions Mr Potter; they will remove the magic suppressant charms, as well as the emotion, intellect and memory charms. All but the memory charms will be prevented from being used again. I suggest you take legal action against whoever used them. I need to check on your aunt, please take them quickly"

Harry downed the three potions, all of which tasted quite plain. The first one felt as if his magic filled him, giving him the feeling of wholeness that he had every time he stepped into Hogwarts. The second released his emotions and intellect; great anger filled him as his emotions came back under his own control. The last however hit him as his memories returned.

A six year old Harry sat in the back lawn of the Dursley's home, when all of a sudden an owl swooped down in front of him dropping a letter in his lap. Opening it he began to read.

Dear Harry,

If you are reading this now, you've just turned six, and we are dead. We fear it may have been at the hands of Lord Voldemort. This letter is sent to you fearing that Sirius will be sent to Azkaban. Here we so state, that Peter Pettigrew was our secret keeper. Harry we love you, stay with Padfoot and Moony. No matter what may happen we are always proud of you.

Love Forever and Always,

Mom and Dad

Little Harry allowed a tear to fall, he had long since given up on Uncle Padfoot or Uncle Moony coming to get him, and now he knew why. For years he had wondered why they never came for him. But now he knew that Uncle Padfoot was in prison, all because nasty, smelly Wormtail was a traitor. He began to run inside to tell Aunt Petunia that he found a way to go back when he heard a small pop behind him; and heard a familiar voice say "I'm sorry Harry, but you need to stay here. Obliviate!" Everything went fuzzy as the tall man took the letter from him and leave him on the doorstep.

In the back of the shop, a boy with a pale, pointed face was standing on a footstool while a second witch pinned his long black robes. Madam Malkin stood Harry on a stool next to him, slipped a long robe over his head and began to pin it to the right length.

"Hullo," said the boy, "Hogwarts too?"

"Yes," said Harry, slightly nervous.

"Do you know what House you'll be in? I think I'll be in Slytherin, Ravenclaw might not be that bad though, my names Draco by the way, Draco Malfoy,"

"Hi, my name's Harry Potter"

"Really? Wow, its nice to meet you. Father says you live with muggles is that true?"

"Erm, Yes, it is. They're not really the best of people though. I had to come here with Hagrid, he's the Gameskeeper at Hogwarts,"

"Oh I've heard of him, bit of an oaf isn't he? I heard he gets drunk every so often and sets fire to his hut!"

"He may just do that, after we left Gringotts he went back to the Leaky Cauldron for a 'pickme-up'"

"How awful! Have you gotten your wand yet? My mother is down the road speaking to Ollivander about her own, its been acting funny lately."

"No, no I haven't, I think I'll get that last today,"

"All done Master Malfoy, your father asked me to send you along to Ollivanders when we were done here, run along now!" said the second witch as she packed up the finished robes.

"Oh well, I'll see you on the express then Harry! Bye!"

"Bye Draco!"

When Harry met Hagrid again he recounted his conversation with Draco Malfoy. Hagrid started to look around and pulled Harry into a small alley.

"Look, I'm righ' sorry 'bout this, but its Dumbledore's orders. Obliviate!"

Another haze covered Harry's eyes as he stepped into Ollivanders, causing the old man to look suspiciously at Hagrid.

Harry woke up on a hot night at the Burrow, he heard voices arguing downstairs. Looking over to Ron's bed he noticed that Ron was missing, and the door was slightly ajar. Creeping as silently as possible he listened into the kitchen where Mrs Weasley was talking to Dumbldore by the Floo, while Ron sat glowering in the corner.

"I don't care Albus, that boy is evil incarnate, either you place stronger charms on him or my Ronnie won't put up with being his friend anylonger, I don't care how much you pay us anymore!"

"Molly, please, see reason I need you to-"

"I don't care, Sir. I don't even want to be in the same room as Potter, let alone sleep in the same one as him! Its disgusting how he acts!"

"Fine, I'll place stronger emotion charms on him this September, try to keep up appearances, I'll be in contact"

Dumbledore's head disappeared from the flames as Mrs Weasley hugged the scowling Ron. Harry walked out, trying to understand what was going on.

"Um… Mrs Weasley I don't understand…"

"Oh for heaven's sake you stupid child, Obliviate!"

Harry sat back on the leather sofa where he sat and closed his eyes and let out a scream, his Aunt and the Medi-Witch ran into the room as he opened them he didn't notice the slight glow around their edges but they did, as every piece of glass around him exploded.
