Chapter One
Flashback-Three years from the start of the story

Harry Potter stood in his lawyers office, his hands clutching the emancipation form. His illusion of being a fifteen year old boy, was how he started all of this, the scars that marred his body were still clearly visible. Convincing his Aunt had led to practically begging her but in the end she had agreed, though reluctantly.
Harry swallowed and looked down at the form, he knew that tricking the government in this way could go horribly wrong, especially if they found out he was no older than nine years old.
"Mr Potter!" his lawyer called
Harry walked over, knowing he had enough money to make it though the next three years, until the Hogwarts letter arrived.
"Yes sir?" Harry whispered handing him the form.
"Because of your extreme case of Abuse, the government has decided to grant you emancipation, without a proper trial. Taking in account the amount of money you got from your parents, you're allowed live by yourself." Harry's Lawyer announced.
Harry looked down, tears welling up in his eyes. He was finally free...Free from the Dursleys, Free to be himself.
"Thank You" Harry whispered leaving the office.
End Flashback

Harry Potter stretched on his bed looking, almost like a cat, his green eyes taking in his surroundings.
Now, he stood at around 6foot and was board, which he was due to his coming into his magical maturity; he had an IQ of 185, and a photographic memory. He could remember the day he was born, his first words, the day his mother and father died and the night Albus Dumbledore had abounded him on the entrance of his own, personal hell.

Flashback

Harry struggled in the half giants arms, reaching out for his godfather.
"Siri!" Harry yelled "Hug! Me"
Sirius Black pulled the boy into his arms and kissed his head.
"I should take him" Sirius whispered
Harry gurgled in agreement; it was, after all, what his mummy and daddy wanted.
"I have orders to take him to the headmaster" Hagrid answered roughly
"No!" Harry cried "No want Grapa Ably, want Siri!"
Sirius hugged Harry close
"Sorry Kiddo, but I have to do something; Albus will look after you until I come back"
Harry started to cry again as he was passed back to Hagrid.
"Siri!" Harry yelled as his godfather walked away.
End Flashback

Harry ran a hand through his hair as, not for the first time, he wondered where Moony and Padfoot were, part of him wanting to know if they were even still alive. If they were, Harry was unsure if he could ever forgive them. Both had betrayed him, both had turned their backs on him when he needed them the most, both had abandoned him to hell. If he was true to himself, he was more worried about Siri than Remus; after all, Sirius had never broken a promise before.

Harry walked out of his bedroom, and into the main part of his pent building he lived in had 665 rooms...Well 666 if you counted his own. Being a special type of wizard, he could copy any spell if it had been done in front of him, wandlessly and wordlessly. He had been present when the Fidelius Charm was cast, which enabled himto place it on his pent house.

Harry walked to his cupboard and gripped a jar of peanut past and the sultans. Turning around, he summoned bread from across the room and quickly made his breakfast. This had started when he needed a midnight snack and had quickly become his regular breakfast. Flipping though yesterday's paper, he sighed before turning to his balcony, only to find a owl sitting perched on the railing, with an envelope tied to its leg.
Harry's heart stopped, it couldn't be... His Hogwarts letter...Could it?
Harry hurried to the balcony door and flung it open, allowing the tired bird in.
"Can you take my reply?" Harry asked the owl.

Harry got some water and a small bowl of seeds for the owl and took the letter from it, slowly reading it.

Term begins on September 1. We await your owl by no later than July 31.

Deputy Headmistress

Harry laughed and hugged the letter to his chest, finally he had word from the Wizarding world, he had missed it so much. He sighed when he noticed the owl giving him a strange look. Shrugging and blushing slightly, he hurried out of the room and into his study to pen a reply.
His study was full of books that had been read many times over the years. Harry found it relaxing to sit with a book and actually read it word for word but sometimes he used his talent of simply touching a book to read it.
Scribbling his acceptance onto a piece of paper, Harry addressed the envelope to Deputy Headmistress Hogwarts.
He moved towards the owl, and tied the reply on to its leg. Having done that, he read through the list of things he needed for school.

Deciding to go shopping on his eleventh birthday, which was the last day of this month, Harry turned in for the night
