Chapter 1: July Threats

Harry wasn't having a good summer. The Dursley's were angry that they had to allow Harry back in but Harry told them that if they didn't then he would report them to the Department of Magical Law Enforcement. Uncle Vernon's answer to that, lock up Hedwig.

"You can't get a hold of anyone if you don't have that owl flying around," he said, a glee in his voice.

Harry glared at him which earned a slap across the face. However, Harry wasn't fazed. He hadn't been sorted into Slytherin for nothing and what they didn't know was that Harry had the charm with him that would unlock anything, including Hedwig's cage. So that night he took out a sheet of parchment that he managed to hide under Hedwig's cage and write to Professor McGonagall.

Dear Professor McGonagall,

I need you to get me out of here. The Dursley's got mad when I threatened them with the Ministry and they think that if they keep Hedwig locked away then they can get away with anything they want. They also haven't been feeding me and they took my potions away that St. Mungo gave me. I need you to get my returning Head of House down here so that I can legally leave.

I hope that you're having a good summer,

Harry.

Harry used the charm to magically open Hedwig's cage and he handed it to her.

"Take this to where Professor McGonagall is at," he said, "And do come back, I need someone to talk to."

Hedwig took off, her form becoming smaller and smaller until she was gone.

The next day Uncle Vernon beat Harry when he found out that Hedwig was gone. Of course Harry knew that he was scared stiff now that the Ministry was probably told about what he had done. He was given a list of chores to do with promise that he wouldn't see food unless they were done.

"I need to do my homework," Harry told him, "And you're going to let me do it. I'm not getting detention because-."

Harry didn't get to finish that sentence because Uncle Vernon slapped him.

"Don't tell me what to do, freak," he snarled, "Get those chores done or I'll burn your books."

"Sick psycho," Harry hissed, "No wonder Serial Killers are so plentiful."

Uncle Vernon looked like he was on the verge of beating him till Harry couldn't move but he backed away and said, "Get those chores done and then maybe I'll let you do your homework."

"Fine," Harry said, glad his little plan had worked. "And I want food as well."

He glared at Harry but said nothing about him not being able to have any food.

Professor McGonagall was at her summer home in Scotland when a tapping made her look up from her book. She saw at once that it was Potter's owl and so she bookmarked her page and went to let her in. Hedwig was thin, which wasn't a good thing. She took the letter and Hedwig flew over to where some owl treats were. Opening the letter she read it over, gasping. She ran over to the Fireplace and fire called Flitwick.

"Is Severus back?" she demanded.

"He said that he would be back in London tomorrow," Flitwick answered, "What's going on?"

"The Dursley's are abusing him and not allowing him to take his potions," she answered, "I told you that those people were the worst sort of muggles."

"Stupid muggles," Flitwick said."

"I'm going to drag Severus to Privet Drive if I have to," she said, "I'm not going to allow Dumbledore to furtherly place his life in danger."

"You know Severus is going to be kicking and screaming like a little girl," Flitwick told her.

"I'm sure that he'll get over it," McGonagall said.

"I'm going to get Sprout on this as well," Flitwick said, "You know that she really cares for the child."

"I know; she's become Harry's adopted mother," McGonagall said, "That's a good thing for a child like Potter. "

"I agree," he said, "So I'll let you know when Severus has come back."

"And you'll tell him that I want him at Privet Drive at once," she said.

"Then I'll tell Sprout and the two of us will join the two of you."

"Sounds like my kind of plan," McGonagall said, grinning, "Imagine the Dursley's facing the wrath of four Heads of House."

Flitwick chuckled and then the connection was cut.

The Dursley's locked the refrigerator, telling Harry that he would get fed when they came back taking Dudley to a nice restaurant. Harry wondered how long it would be before the Dursley's were thrown out. When their car left Harry went upstairs to the Dursley's room and found the small box that Vernon kept his money. One thing that Slytherin had taught him was that he had to sometimes steal to survive. Harry took out eighty pounds and then ordered a pizza.

While he waited he unlocked the cupboard and got some of his books out. He had massive essays in Charms, Potions, and Herbology. He would take care of those, first, and then move onto the others. He also took his wand and some ink, quill, parchment, and a box that Nott had given him for Christmas. It would allow his food to stay fresh. The doorbell rang and Harry ran to answer it.

"Here's your food and drink," the man said.

Harry handed him the money and he was gone.

Harry divided up the food and placed it inside the box. A click told him that the box was locked. He then hid it under a lose floorboard that he had discovered and then ate the rest of it. As he drank down his Coke he at once missed everything about the muggle world. The magical world was great but at least the muggle one didn't have a mad man trying to take over the government. He then finished the last of his food and dumped the empty box in another person's trash. He then sprayed to hide the smell of pizza and went up to his room.

The Dursley's came back three hours later and Vernon called Harry downstairs.

"At the end of this month the Mason's are coming and I want you to stay out of sight," he told Harry. "That means none of your freakiness."

"Fine," Harry said.

"And if that owl comes back I'll shoot her," Vernon went on.

Harry felt his anger rising but he kept it under control. Being in Slytherin for one year had taught him how to control his anger.

"Fine," Harry said but he mentally added, "I'll shoot you next."

"Now get up to your room and don't even ask for dinner," Vernon said, "They don't allow take home."

Harry said nothing when he went upstairs.

That night he waited for the Dursley's to go to sleep and then took out his Charms work. Professor Flitwick wanted an essay on the Nox Charm and so Harry took out his ink, quill, and parchment, and got to work. He listened for any sign that the Dursley's were waking up but nothing came from the bedrooms. An hour later Harry had his Charms work done and so he waited for it dry and then rolled it up. He would start on his Herbology tomorrow night.

The next day he ate some of his leftover pizza and then came down to do the list of chores that Uncle Vernon had left for him. Aunt Petunia was going to some garden party and Dudley was spending time with his gang. Harry pulled out some money from the roll that he still had and decided to go and get something to drink. He had to be very careful that Dudley didn't see him or he would report to his parents what Harry was doing. He passed by Mrs. Figg, who smiled and motioned him to come over.

"Hello, Mrs. Figg," Harry said.

"Hello, Harry," Mrs. Figg said, "So how has your summer been?'

"Okay, the Dursley's are making me work a lot."

"Are you doing your homework?" she asked.

"I can't," Harry said, "So I had to sneak it into my room."

"Horrible relatives, you have," she said, "Well I'll let you get on what your doing and don't let the Dursley's know that your doing your homework."

"I promise," Harry said and he continued on his way.

Harry got another Coke and found a quiet spot to drink it. It felt good to be able to buy something and have it anytime that you wanted. Harry vowed that he would never let his children go hungry or thirsty. He then finished his drink and headed back to the Dursley's.
