A/n

This story is very old and has a lot of great points if you give it a chance and just keep reading. I started it when I was very young. A side note I recently wrote an oriinal fiction that is about to go to publishing, probably self so I would love feedback and views.

Harry Potter felt very isolated and alone this summer. He had long ago realized that none of his living family actually cared for him, that he could accept and was insulated from. The sting came from who he considered his new family, his best and only friends had still not even tried to contact him this summer. Each and every one of his attempts to communicate had failed and all of his letters had been returned by a dejected Hedwig who didn't want to continue disappointing her master.

He was afraid that even though they had survived, his impulsive attempt to play hero and defeat Voldemort had blown up in his face. He was utterly terrified that after he had led them into a trap at the Department of Mysteries, their feelings towards him might have changed. He refused to believe that his best friends were realizing he was too dangerous to be around, that they would abandon him.

It wasn't that he hadn't tried to contact them he really had. He had sent two letters to each of his three best friends; Ginny having finally to gained entry into Harry's heart as a best friend not just his best mates little sister. He had written six very apologetic letters, all were rejected. They had not responded to any of his letters and Hedwig returned every time with that look of pity in her eyes that her master was so distraught over his friends abandonment.

On top of that the only father figure he had even known, The Whale doesn't count, hadn't made it out alive. He had heard of the danger, despite the risks and his current wanted status he had to backup Harry in this disaster he had put himself in and rushed to be there like he wasn't when Harry's parent had been murdered. the guilt from his previous losses overwhelmed his sense of self preservation.

Harry had accepted the fact that he was partially to blame because that whole incident wouldn't have happened if he hadn't rushed off to save his godfather. If he had been able to resist and deduce that the vision he was receiving was not reality, then he wouldn't have lead every one to the trap that resulted in his godfathers demise.

He had recently come to the conclusion he had been lied to and manipulated both before and after his reintroduction to the wizarding world by none other then Albus Dumbledore. Constantly molded to be the perfect obedient weapon against the dark lord. One that would have low self worth due to his family home life. one that would trust blindly in him and follow along with these tests thrown his way.

Some of the blame also was Sirius's himself and of course Bellatrix Lestrange, and even Voldemort's for it being his plan but definitely it was part Sirius's fault because he would have never died had he not been taunting her and had taken his duel seriously. I could have been the result of being cooped up in the house he hated, the last reminder of his dark pure blood origins. Maybe he never thought his own cousin would use a deadly spell. He had mistakenly called the name James when they were dueling, getting lost in the moment and forgetting who was by his side. He may have been swept up in the nostalgia of the fight, his reactions weren't the same which cause him to fall through the veil to his instant death.

Harry had become close friends over the last year with two other people at school and those two others had helped him when he had needed they alone had remained loyally at his side throughout the D.o.M ordeal also. They had trained by his side in Dumbledore's Army and fought the death eaters back putting his training to practical use.

Hedwig had just flown in with some letters and she was extremely happy to see the look of joy on Harry's face as he to saw two letters attached to her leg. Someone had responded to his communication attempts, finally.

"Great," he exclaimed his voice filled with joy and excitement at some news from his real world, "at least Nev and Luna responded, that shows they don't completely hate me right," Harry spoke to his owl who hooted and seemed to shrug her shoulders if that even possible for an owl to do. Harry didn't know but his snowy owl always seemed more human to him than other owls. She would listen and respond to his words and always be there when he needed her. Maybe as his familiar it wasn't so much that her movement s reflected emotion but that he sensed her emotions so her movements seemed to sync up.

Hedwig hoped that these letters weren't rejections and that her master would finally have good news for a change she liked the two she had delivered to they always gave her exotic treats.

Harry fed his pet and only constant companion some owl treats and ruffled her feathers and then was surprised when Hedwig hopped up on his shoulder seemingly reading along with him.

Dear Harry,

In response to your very depressing letters, and don't try and lie your depressed, believe me I've been there I know. I don't blame you for anything that happened early this summer, this year has been my best so far at Hogwarts and I'm feel like your friendship has allowed me to come out of my shell. Know that will do anything for you mate, because if you hadn't taught us what you did in the D.A., I would have never survived. In fact, I probably wouldn't have even had the courage to follow you. Being your friend these past few years has helped me find my own Gryffindor courage. On another note I'm truly sorry to hear that your godfather Sirius Black died and that he was imprisoned innocent in Azkaban and then in his own home by the headmaster later on.

I'm ashamed and sorry to say but I'd still be skeptical of him if you yourself hadn't told me of his innocence and I think even with his death, you should try and get his name cleared. Do you know if he left you anything, I know that the Black Family is a Noble and Ancient house so he most likely left you something of his estate, maybe a lot. I know that to you now as fresh as his death is , it feels like blood money, but if you don't take it, it goes to the Malfoy's or that bitch Bellatrix. So no matter how much it hurts or how dirty you feel take what he leaves you otherwise his killers get it and Voldemort will have even more money in the bank.

Harry I honestly cant thank you enough, you should see the change in my Gran and how she treats me. She's introducing me to all her old friends, and they keep giving me advice on magic and books and plants. She's so proud that I helped you, that I fought Voldemort, that was hard to even write, she says I'm truly becoming my fathers son, she even gave me my parent greenhouse. I have access to some of the rarest plants in the world, even more then Hogwarts now. We're planning on going to get me a new wand, thanks again for the money for that mate. I hope that this new wand is a better match like you said, so magic won't be so difficult for me anymore. I always thought that I should be proud to use his wand but it makes sense that I should have my own now.

Your mate always,

Neville

P.s You'll be surprised when you see me, as an unexpected result of my new skills, I've changed more than just inside.

Harry was really happy that Neville was still his friend because he couldn't stand another rejection and the boy had grown on him over the years. They had been roommates just like Ron and Dean and Seamus. Neville had been a lot closer to him then Dean and Seamus but they never really become one of the core group of his friends until this last year. Plus he felt like he had a special connection with Neville because of the prophecy. They were equals in his mind, he was happy his friends family had begun to accept him in ways his own never would.

if Voldemort had chosen to go after the Longbottom heir instead then, Neville could just as easily be in his shoes. There was also the fact that technically he and Neville should be close to the same in their power levels, if they were both candidates for Voldemort's equal, and Harry new in the near future he would need strong loyal friends beside him.

Harry set Neville's letter down and picked up the second letter which was on tye-dye parchment with such random and bright colors that he didn't even have to guess who sent, it only Luna would own such odd parchment

Dear Harry Potter,

I know I've never written you before and I was not aware that we even had more than a student teacher relationship and I would really like to pursue this Harry but I'm afraid that if we are to be together then you will either have to quit the D.A. or propose to me my love.

Harry stopped abruptly "Oh no not another damned crazed fan girl, I've had enough of that. I just gotten Ginny to act normal , not Luna too," he groaned and continued reading the letter.

Well what do you think Luna Phoebe Potter has a nice ring right…

… hahahahhahahhahaha, yes I wrote out my laughter. I'm so happy I charmed the paper to scroll so you had to read that first part and not the entire letter. Sorry to get you hopes up Harry but I hardly know you and I would love to be more than your friend but unfortunately your not my type. Now lets see nargles seem to have messed with your attitude or a wrakspurt or must be driving you mad, something crazy like that. By the way I only act like a weirdo at school, to try and sell my daddy's papers. I'm a walking billboard but I think only Ginny knows, not to boast I'm rather intelligent being a Ravenclaw and all and I actually know that most of what daddy prints in the quibbler is complete bull, that or he is hiding coded messages in his magazine. The spells woven into each page allow for one time use before the incantation wears off. You can use another spell provided on each page somewhere in the articles is the trigger for the spell and it becomes a means of magical communication, secured so that no one but the user can read the messages sent to each holder. It's a clever way to make them read his crazy articles and to pass notes back and forth. You should see the faces on the other 'Claws when I start raving like a lunatic about my father's made up stories. They all have to read about them to pass notes because my family provide the simplest means to send secure notes. So this summer I've been traveling all over Europe looking for Snorkacks again, but I can't complain its the only quality time I get to spend with my dad that I'm not pretending to report on his strange creatures and conspiracies. So how have you been?, So you know before we left on our trip, I hadn't seen the Weasley's at the Burrow, I'm their neighbor, so they might be in hiding or on vacation again this summer.

Love,

Luna P. Potter (hehehe)

P.S You should really think about continuing the D.A but changing it to Potters Army or the Defense Association because I actually have more respect and find that you are a better role model for our generation then Professor Dumbledore.

"Hey don't give me that look" he paused and noticed his owls look after she had finished reading Luna's letter,"yeah she's a little weird but hey I'm talking to my owl I can't be too picky it seems like I just have two friends in them right now."

Hedwig hooted and nipped Harry's fingers ,"you too of course," he said while ruffling her feathers again, "your my best friend girl, you know that."

Harry went back to his trunk and pulled out some of his old school books and decided to go over everything in them from first year to his fifth, on every subject, including potions. He had been slacking off with Ron when it came to his education and only learning the bare minimum to pass his classes. there must be more in his books then what was covered in class.

A faint light could be seen through the window of the smallest bedroom on 4 Private Drive.

a/N

so I attempted to alter the first chap but not too much as to change the story, and I figure with harry learning everything overnight, I'd rater have him learn it quickly from books, because come on every school skips over chapters, and know he'll know all material from 1st year up.

Thanks for reading and

I don't own harry potter, I think, nope I checked, and I don't
