Harry through his own eyes!
A/N: This is my second HP Fan Fiction, but will be TONS better! (I plan to write about 10 chapters depending on what I want to happen!)
Background: J.K.Rowling has told fans in an interview that Harry's eyes being just like his Mother's, but the rest of him is SO PERFECTLY like his Father, is significant. Well, this is just one idea of how!
HARRY THROUGH HIS OWN EYES:
Chapter 1:
The arrival
Harry awoke suddenly. His scar was aching for the fifth time since his fourth year at Hogwarts.
"Another killing I suppose" he said wearily to his owl, Hedwig. Hedwig hooted with delight as Harry stroked the bird's neck gently.
It was five o'clock. Harry decided that it was too late to go back to sleep. Uncle Vernon would drag him out of bed in an hour and force him to make the family's breakfast, which included Dudley's giant-sized portions. He sat up and started writing a note to Dumbledore:
Dear Dumbledore,
I woke up a few minutes ago with my scar hurting again. Was it another Murder, or just a Death Eater's meeting? It has been about a week since the last time, and I was hoping something was happening for the better.
Have the Hogwarts letters been posted yet, as I haven't got mine yet and there are only three days to go until the start of term.
Sorry to bother you again,
Harry.
He attached the letter to Hedwig's leg, and let her out of the window. He followed the owl until she was out of sight, then leant out of the window to get some fresh air. Below him, a cat was lying in Aunt Petunia's flower patch, and Harry hoped that it would move before she caught it lying there, and injured it very badly!
No sooner than Harry had shut the window, the glass smashed, and in it's place was the slimy head of Severus Snape.
"GO AWAY, YOU SLIMY GREASE-BALL!" Harry bellowed at the lump of hair gel that was now climbing into his room.
"Shhhh, Harry. I'm here to help!" Severus whispered as he tried to pull a vile from his pocket. Harry smashed it just before Snape could get his hand on the cork. "Stupid boy! Let me get to my reserve! You… we are in great danger if I don't!"
"If you can't kill me first!" Harry shouted. But Snape had already started to pour the potion over Harry and himself.
~~~~~
"What?" Harry was staring at his surroundings. "You can't apparate into Hogwarts grounds!" he told Severus.
"I know, it would have been more simple that way! But I slaved over a hot cauldron for this Potion!"
"Why have you taken me here, anyway?" Harry asked Severus. But he never got a response. Out of the shadows, the all too familiar shape of Dumbledore was strolling towards the pair. Harry waited for Dumbledore to get close before he spoke. Snape was looking hard at Dumbledore. He obviously noticed something Harry didn't.
"Welcome Harry," Dumbledore walked closer to Harry. "One week early, Harry. Why, you're lucky Severus here was available.
Snape suddenly groaned with pain, and ran towards the Forbidden Forest. Harry, at the same time, bent double with agony, as his scar burnt black. Dumbledore walked Harry back to Hogwarts, and took him into his office. "Pumpkin Pasties!" Dumbledore shouted at the gargoyle that was standing where the staircase should be. Harry watched as the gargoyle turned, and slid out of the way, revealing an ornate escalator.
"You are in great danger, Harry." Dumbledore told the young wizard as they sat down in the old man's office. "Voldemort was not very happy with the Giants after they swore allegiance to us. He blamed Hagrid and Madame Maxime. He immediately went to Beauxbatons, and trashed the place, stealing every book of any use to him. He won't try to get here, he knows he can't. The only way to break the spells keeping him out, is inside the building!" Dumbledore chuckled to himself for a minute. "Where he would least expect to find them."
"So," Harry began, "Why am I in specific danger?"
"Well Harry, obviously Voldemort wants you dead. But sooner rather than later, in his opinion. He has always known you would be the greatest opposition to him, if he let you live, and the more you learn, the more you are a threat to him." Dumbledore paused in thought. "But…" he paused again. Then he smiled. Harry was worried that one of the Death Eaters had got a bit of Dumbledore's hair, and made a very good polyjuice potion. "When he gave you that scar, he gave you his power. His 'life' if you like. It was the worst thing he could have done to himself. You are an equal, if you like."
Harry was very puzzled, and didn't say a word. He just sat there, and thought. Suddenly, Hedwig flew in through the open window. Harry sat up and opened the letter. It was from Dumbledore. Harry laughed, and glanced down it.
"Old news, Harry." Dumbledore sighed. And took it from Harry's hand and threw it into the fire. Harry watched as the paper curled, and turned black, before finally turning into powder.
"Dumbledore!" Harry shouted. "Your fire is turning blue!"
The wizards pulled out their wands, and pointed them fixed on the fire. Suddenly, a huge black dog leaped out of the fireplace, and knocked a glass cabinet over.
"Snuffles!" Harry ran towards the dog, and wrapped his arms around its neck. With a pop, the dog disappeared, and Sirius Black stood in its place.
Dumbledore soon repaired the cabinet with a flick of his wand. " Welcome to Hogwarts!"
