When Darkness Rises - The Rewrite
His Inheritance made him into a completely different person, free of his previous responsibilities.
Harry is living with Sirius and Remus.
He is going dark,
and he is gaining power.
I do not own Harry Potter or anything of J.K. Rowling's.
A/N
This is a rewrite of When Darkness Rises. I am making it flow and making it better - at least, that is what I believe.
For the most part, the major scenes will be the same.
If it wasn't for all the notifications I have been getting, I may have never really bothered to do a rewrite.
Happy Reading, and let me know what you think.
Saved - Chapter 1
Ever since he was placed on the Dursley's doorstep, Harry Potter has not known love. The small boy knows pain, though. As far back as he remembers he has been hit, whipped, beaten, and starved. At the age of five, he could cook and clean. He went to a normal school before going to Hogwarts. After the age of eleven, every year he would look a little healthier going back to the muggle world. But every year going back to school, he looked sickly again. Harry never talked of his problems, only listed to others. He went though his classes just as quietly.
Hearing people come up the stairs, Harry quickly stands. Five locks clicking open could be heard, along with swearing in a deep voice. A wand tip illuminates the otherwise dark room. It also shows Harry moving forward to hug Sirius Black and Remus Lupin.
"Hey Pup. We missed you." Remus says as he hugs Harry. "Come on; let's go before the muggles return. Oh, were is your stuff?" Sirius asks, concerned.
"It is all in the cupboard under the stairs."
The three men quickly move downstairs. Remy unlocks the door, and Siri shrinks Harry's stuff and puts it all in his pocket. Together, they go outside and apparate, landing outside Number 12 Grimmauld Place.
"Come Pup. We know you are hungry. Kreacher! Prepare some light food for Harry." Kreacher appears and disappears with a pop. "We are sorry that we couldn't get to you before. Dumbledore kept us from you. He kept on saying you were fine in that house. We know better. I am guessing you didn't get our letters either?"
Harry just shakes his head and frowns. He walks silently with his godfather and his mate. In a minute, they reach the dining room and take seats by the fire, which warms Harry to the bones.
"You will be better soon," Siri says as the house elf brings in food and three cups of tea on a large tray.
"Eat, Pup," Remy says softly.
The small teen eats slowly.
The mates watch their pup eat. They shoot concerned looks at each other. They knew that the headmaster was manipulative, but this is slowly becoming worse. Harry trusted Dumbledore, like many people.
"Can I sleep with you?" Inquires Harry after finishing his meal.
They couldn't resist. He looks so tired and fear lingers in his eyes. Nodding, the three go up to the master bedroom – which is decorated in forest colors – and strip down to their boxers before crawling into bed. Soon, they are all asleep.
