The Marauder Way

This is my first fic so go easy on me, please.

Haven't picked a pairing yet, maybe up for vote.

Summary.

Harry gets fed up of the war, lies and manipulations and decides to do things his way.

The marauder way. Time turner. Smart/semipowerfulHarry

In the smallest bedroom at number 4 Privet Drive, a young teen gazed sadly out the window. It was raining outside. That seemed to fit his mood perfectly. His normally bright green eyes, dulled by pain and misery. Not three weeks before he had watched his godfather fall to his death at the ministry. He felt guilt, as it had been him who had believed the false visions sent by Voldemort, and had run to the rescue like the good Gryffindor he was.

And to make matters worse Dumbledore dumped Harry's prophecy on him, somehow making it feel like he was to blame for not being able to handle the prophecy so early on.

He wondered if fate and destiny were looking down, having a competition, which could screw harry the most. It certainly felt like it.

Looking back he came to the realisation that the light side may be at fault and Dumbledore was not always free from blame. Sure he had charged half cocked into the ministry with only a bunch of school kids as backup, but he had had no other choice nor adult help besides the greasy haired professor.

Dumbledore had not informed him of the prophecy, ignored him the whole year and left him at the hands of a sadistic umbitch. He also had informed Snape immediately about Sirius's, peril yet in that time he managed to fight the inquisitor squad, lead umbitch into the forest, fly to London on Thestrals and fight with the death eaters before the order had arrived. And that was only the people supposedly on the light side.

Surprisingly Harry felt little anger towards Bellatrix Lestrange. After all she was the enemy, and made no claims about being good. She was on one side of the war fighting for her (albeit twisted) beliefs and Sirius was on the other fighting for his. He wouldn't have had it any other way.

That was when he realised that Dumbledore and his friends had wronged him more times than Voldemort and his Death Eaters. He rushed over to his desk, pulled out a quill and made a list of all the people and times that he had been wronged or manipulated.

He started with Voldemort.

1 he killed my parents. (although only out of self preservation from the prophecy)

2 he tried to kill me with Quirrell (although he had made the offer to join him first)

3 set a basilisk loose on the school (again wasn't him but a memory of a younger him)

4 killed Cedric.

5 killed Sirius

The list was shorter than he expected.

He then went onto Dumbledore and his band of merry followers.

1 sending me to live at the Dursleys

2 He sent Hagrid, someone who dislikes Slytherin, to welcome me into the magical world (all other muggleborns got Prof McGonagall)

3 Molly Weasley managed to forget the platform number after 5 children already in or been in Hogwarts( and then loudly announce "muggles," obviously a setup)

4 bringing the philosophers stone into Hogwarts (almost daring me to go after it)

5 letting me battle a basilisk with only a sword and a phoenix)

6 'allowing me' to save Sirius (he's the chief Mugwump, he should easily be able to arrange a trial with all his influence)

7 forcing me to compete in a dangerous tournament for older wizards and witches with poor training

8 letting Barty Crouch Jr masquerade as Mad Eye Moody (they were suppose to be close friends)

9 sending me back to the Dursleys after Voldy took my blood (Blood Wards?)

10 not telling me the prophesy till I lost Sirius

11 And worst keeping me under house arrest under 24 watch at the Dursleys with no mail from my "friends" three weeks after Sirius died.

Harry looked over the lists. He was not totally surprised by the outcome but it was still startling to see on paper written out so clearly. While he wasn't ever going to join Voldy, he didn't want to be a puppet or a slave to Dumbles anymore.

Thanks to a small hourglass pendant on a golden chain that 'accidentally' fell into his robes at the ministry, he was going to train and learn on his own with or without the approval of Molly Weasley, back up from Ron or Hermione or the permission from the order of fried turkey. They all believed in second and third chances. He was going to fight fire with fire, reducto for reducto and killing curse for killing curse. If the order wanted to lose, they were welcome to sit around discussing how all Voldemort needed was a big hug. They could go screw themselves.

Harry potter was cutting his strings and fighting the marauder way.
