Summary: What if Harry was manipulated to be the slave/tool/weapon… of Dumby from the start?
What if he actually knew it n that he was in his own way actually the one manipulating dumby?
Feature a manipulating Dumby, a cunning Harry, an helpfull Sevy n much more!
« Vernon! » Called Petunia Dursley when she opened the door to see the little baby Harry in a basket.
« Yes Petunia dear? »
« Look what these freaks have done, who in their right mind would leave a baby at our door step during such a cold night. » Said the woman in a disgusted tone.
« What should we do love? »
« Raise the poor kid along our sweet little Dudley n contrairy to what that letter ask love him as if he was our own. Do you realise that my sister just died! They drop the kid here never let me know that she's dead and they ask us to neglect and they nearly say to beat up the poor boy only probably so that that evil old crazy man can control the boy when he get to Hogwart »
« Shhh Calm down sweet heart »
« No I wont calm down that… »
« Let's feed the boy and put him in a warm bed then we can calmly decide how we'll proceed right hunny? »
« You're right love lets do that sorry for freaking out but that evil old man has created way too much troubles already and thats the last straw. Did you knew that when my sweet sister got accepted at Hogwart i've sent him a letter to ask if i could come too and he basically answered that someone so worthless with not an ounce of magic didnt had a place in such a great n important world. But from what I've understood from Lily talks, that man preach the protection and respect of non-magical peoples what an hypocrite old manipulating monster. »
« I see, well lets have some tea and decide what we'll do of the boy. »
« There is no way that we'll abandon him or do as that letter say Vernon! I wont allow it he's my sister son, my own blood! »
« Shhh sweety u'll wake the boys up if you dont calm down. And seriously do you honestly think that we will mistreat the poor thing? But we gota plan the education of our boys if we want the old man to get what's comming for him » At that Vernon smirked evilly.
« Oh Vernon I love so much when you dont have to pretend that you're a dumb power hungry bully and an evil bastard. »
« I know love but as you know it's the only way to protect our secrets. But you're wrong I can be an evil bastard to whom deserve it. Now first thing will be to send a owl to that old fool to let him know that we will treat the boy as he wish and that he'll have his tool when the boy get to attend Hogwart. But for tonight lets go get some sleep tomorow we'll plan how to put everything into motion.»
Next day
« Ok hunny first we will need someone to know what is happening in the magical world as well as maybe help us prepare the kids better for what's gone happen in the futur becose from the sound of it they are planning to send the boy on a suicide mission by attacking a maniac that would supposedly eventually resurect without even preparing him decently saying that that way we'll most likely inherit his supposedly locked fortune. »
« hmmm well there was that nice lonely little boy that lily was playing with when we were kids. She went to school with him and they were best friends for years until they had to fake a break out a few years ago becose Dumbledore was apparently unhappy about their friendship and they were scared that he would do something drastic about it. We are still corresponding about once a week to see how's life goin around here being Lily sister I also befriended Severus he's the one am often sending messages to. »
« Good Good, hopefully he'll be willing to help us out. »
« Am sure he will he hate Dumbledore for everything he made him, Lily and everyone go through, Says he's darker then the dark lord if only becose he make as if he's so much on the light greatness side. »
« Dont worry hunny we'll work everything out and Dumbledore will pay greatly for every pain he created »
6 Years later
An old aristocratic man with a strict and mean look knocked on the door of the Dursleys. Vernon opened the door.
« Mr. Dursley I presume? »
« Yes It's myself »
« Good, Am Mr. Huntington, you called becose you have a kid you want me to bring in line by any mean necessary? » Said the man loud enough to be heard my Miss Figg who was as always looking out and reporting every happening at the Dursleys.
« Ah yes, yes come on in sir »
« thank you very much Mr Dursley.»
Once inside Severus droped his glamour
« Good afternoon Petunia, Vernon and here we must have harry and Dudley? » Said Severus silkily.
« Good afternoon Severus it's been long since I've last seen you. You sure have grown out of that scawny look of your. Yes this is my son and nephew, Dudley and Harry »
« Hello sir » Said both boys politely
« Now boys go play upstair while we talk to that gentleman. »
« Yes uncle vernon/Dad » Both runned upstair straight to Dudley room.
« Tea, cookies Severus? »
« Yes please, thank you Petunia. »
« It's a pleasure Mr. Snape… »
« Please do call me Severus. »
« Allright Severus, am pleased to finally meet you in person rather then simply in letters. Now as you know the boys started taking dramatic art classes this year hopefully this will be of much help for what is to come. I wish first to thank you for letting us know what is happening in the wizarding world seeing as with the trouble i've had in the past i've had to make as if i was a simple muggle for years. »
« If you dont mind me asking what exactly happened that had you need to go in exile vernon? »
Vernon laughed drily before answering in a dark tone « Let just say that my familly loved the dark lord way too much for my own good and that me and my dear petunia would have been in constant danger otherwise. Altho I arnt sure who's the worst the dark lord or Dumbledore. Did you knew that petunia actually had magic? But that the old fool becose of her roots locked her magic away. Am actually not too sure still why he blocked her magic and left lily her's probably only needed 1 tool at the time and now that she's dead want to use her son as tool instead and I wont allow that to happen.»
« Petunia had magic?! »
« Yes luckily i found out and was able to unlock it » Vernon took Pet's hand in his and squeezed it.
« Let's see what we'll do in a near futur now, I have to head back to school in 2hrs. I have been thinking about the problem these last few years and as you thought the boy will need to act as if he had been misstreated all his life. I will later on teach both boy how to protect their thoughts something that even someone with no magic can learn altho seeing as you are both magicals I suppose that Dudley is magical as well? »
« Yes, I've made sure to register him at Durmstang, which is where i went, to be certain that Dumbledore wouldnt get a notice about my son bein magical. » Said Vernon while Petunia went upstair to check on the kids.
« Good. Both boys will need to keep up the theater classes as to atone their acting skills. I will come regularily teach them some more on that subject as well as developping their cunning and logic altho am sure they must be learning a lot from a great man like you were Mr Altéorik. » Finished Severus with a satisfied smirk which Vernon returned.
« I see that my wife was right in choosing someone as skilled as you Severus. Am honored to be working with you and getting your help with these matters. You've figured my identity pretty fast I would say.»
« It's a pleasure as well Vernon. Also, I will teach, I suppose with your help, magic to both boys so that they have a head on once they start school and so that Harry do not arrive to school with no clue how even the most basic things are done. I will occasionallly bring a friend of mine with his son, whom is my godson, to teach the boys social ethic as well as how to behave in every life situations in the magic world. Also, if possible, I would like my godson to attend lessons with the boys. It would be much better then the isolation he is subjected to at the moment with only the elves and his mother as company and a few times per week his father. »
« Evidently it would be a pleasure to teach the boy too. Harry and Dudley could use to have a friend of their status. Mr Malfoy I presume? »
« You presume well Mr. Dursley »
« Good it's setteled then. When should I await the boy? »
« I would actually recommand that a week Draco and hi mother make the daily trips here and the next week that the boys and yourself go at Malfoy manor. That way they will get to not always be locked in the same areas and also that way young Draco can learn a bit about this world which could be usefull for him and here could be teached writing skills, acting , ethic and such and at malfoy manor we could show the kids more proper magical cultures as well as how to do magic. Also that way you and Petunia wouldnt be so much isolated from the magic world anymore. »
« Great that sound like a wonderfull plan. »
« Oh and i would also recommand that the 3 boys learn some martial arts with an expert. Here's one that I know whom showed me. He's from the magical world but dont worry he's neither on Dumbledore or on the dark lord side. »
« Thank you Severus »
« You are welcome. Lucius will contact you shortly, I talked to him about martial arts and should you agree he would appreciate if you could take care of signing up for Draco as well. Here is his autorisation for whatever activity you need to sign up the boy at and evidently lucius will pay you back any fee's in double. Now I must head back to school before the old fool wonder what take me so long.»
