Chapter 1:
Battle at Privet Drive
Harry potter sat on his bed. His raven hair sticking out at ever increasingly unique ways, but he didn't care. No one did. He usually life-filled green eyes were now dead and lifeless; they looked like they belonged to someone who had seen the death of many people close to him. They did.
Most days, harry was content to just sit in his room, staring at the ceiling, lost in his own little world of self blaming.
'It's my fault Sirius died. It's ironic really, I went to save him, but ended up getting him killed.' This was the line of thought running through his head at the moment.
However, today he turned his thoughts to something practical; he was doing homework, history of magic no less. It appeared that his effort was largely wasted however, as the parchment read;
Godric Gryffindor – a founder of Hogwarts
Basically, he had done nothing.
He cast his eyes back down to his History of magic textbook and again attempted to read the passage, he wasn't hoping to finish it though for he had been trying to read it for several hours now.
Many People Speculate that, like the other founders Gryffindor has an heir, however, no one had been found as of yet. It is a commonly believed rumour that the true heir will reveal himself at the same time as the heir of one Salazar Slytherin and vanquish the heir of slytherin, just like their forefathers. The heir is said to be able to control the element of fire...
Harry was yet again disturbed from his reading, however it wasn't thoughts of his godfather that plagued him. He could have sworn he heard the faint popping noise of apparition. He looked out of his window and stumbled back in surprise.
There were death eaters outside his house.
And if that wasn't enough, his now shattered brain heard only one sound. It was a merciless crackling laugh that could only belong to one person.
Bellatrix Lestrange. The woman who had killed Sirius.
By some miracle, harry had been allowed to keep his wand with him this year, probably due to Mad-eyes threat. He was trying to remain calm, thinking of the way Dumbledore had fought Voldemort. Belatrix laughed again and harry saw a nearby house erupt in flames. Needless to say harry had failed at remaining calm. He was pissed.
He snatched his wand and ran to confront Bellatrix and the death eaters.
Meanwhile, At Hogwarts, all was calm. Dumbledore was sat in his office, reading through another one of his ancient chronicles when one of his many instruments began to glow. It was Harry ward protector, they had been destroyed.
Dumbledore panicked for the first time in his life. Fawkes sung to keep him calm. After second of worry (or a lifetime to Dumbledore) he called upon the Order of the phoenix using their medallions. He then called Minerva to his office.
When Dumbledore had called, McGonagall had been marking some student essays, but she dropped them immediately when she heard his voice, for there was an emotion in it that seemed almost foreign to her. Panic. Needless to say, she was there in seconds.
'Ah Minerva, thank you for coming quickly. I need you to travel to Grimmauld place and send the order to Harry, he is under attack.' He said, his normal composer regained.
'Where are you going then, surely nothing is more important than harry!' She replied, but in a tone of voice that agreed with his last request.
'You are right Minerva, which is why I'm going strait there.' And he left in a flash of fire with Fawkes.
McGonagall walked to the fireplace and shouted 'Number 12, Grimmauld place' and she to was gone in a flash of fire, but this time green.
As soon as Harry left the house, he had attacked.
'Stupefy' He cried and watched as his jet of red light hit a nearby death eater and he crumbled to the ground, stunned.
Unfortunately, this had not gone unnoticed as Bellatrix had seen it.
'Ah, has wee potter come out to play' she mocked
'Fuck You, Stupefy' he returned. Bellatrix waved her wand and a shield erupted without so much as a word. 'Come on potter, you can do better than that' she mocked, again.
'Stupefy, Stupefy, STUPEFY!' he cried, his wand still trained on Bella. She took the first to stunners in her stride, dismissing them with another casual flick, however it was third time lucky for Harry as his stunner crashed through her shield and throw her backwards ten feet, the shield had however, absorbed the stunning effect.
As she was recovering, Harry had stunned the other two death eaters 'Recruits' she thought 'What can you do?' She wearily stood back up. 'Good boy, now let's see you play with some big toys... Crucio' She cried. Harry barely had time to avoid the torture curse, he threw himself to the left only to be hit by another torture curse. His body screamed in protest as what seemed like a thousand white hot knives were sent through his body, but as quickly as it came, it stopped. Harry opened his eyes and felt his spirits lift. He was saved for a burst of fire like that could only announce one person.
Albus Dumbledore.
Bellatrix had lifted the curse on harry in shock, before her was the second most powerful wizard in the world, after the dark lord of course.
'Thank you for lifting the curse, I don't take too kindly to it being used on my students. It sets a bad example wouldn't you say?' he asked, his voice calm as ever.
'I believe it sets a perfect example, Dumbledore' came a whispered voice for behind the group and Harry's hopes of survival sank again.
'Ah Tom, Hello to you to' Said Dumbledore.
When McGonagall had arrived at headquarters and announced the news, there was only one word she could use to describe the situation. Panic.
'QUIET!' She screamed. Everyone immediately fell silent. 'Thank you, now Alastor, Tonks, Lupin and Shacklebolt, come with me.' Those whose name was mentioned jumped up and headed towards the door, where they apparated. When they arrived outside privet drive, they were shocked by what they saw.
Three houses, numbers 1, 3 and 7 were alight or partially destroyed. There were three stunned death eaters on the ground. The final sight was one they looked onto in awe. The most powerful wizard in the world was standing back to back with a sixteen year old. Harry and Dumbledore were duelling Bellatrix Lestrange and Voldemort respectively. Dumbledore and Voldemort were fighting a much more stationary battle than Harry and Bella, who were ducking and dodging.
Harry was trying to avoid yet another torture curse, which Bella had sent his way. However what impressed the order members the most was his next action, he rolled out of the way of another curse, sprung to his feet, directed his wand a Bella and screamed 'Stupefiruim'. The Order watched in awe as a stunner left Harry's wand towards Bellatrix, however it was not a simple stunner, the jet of crimson light was being circled by a gold streak of light. The spell smashed straight through Bellatrix's silver shield and sent her back 30 feet.
She didn't get back up.
Whilst the spell was travelling towards Bella, Harry had spun round in time to see Voldemort cast a wandless spell on Dumbledore which threw him back 20 feet it was quickly followed by a killing curse 'Avada Kedavra'
Harry then did another thing he had never done before, he apparated in front of Dumbledore and Screamed 'Stupefiruim' his wand directed at the oncoming killing curse, When the two spells connected, the resulting explosion shock everyone to their core and threw those still standing to the ground.
Harry fell unconscious.
When everyone awoke, Voldemort and Bella were gone and so was Harry. Dumbledore had immediately asked McGonagall what had happened; to which lupin replied 'We had better show you' so Dumbledore had Fawkes take him back to Hogwarts, were he had got his pensive and returned to Grimmauld place. He sat in silence as he watched harry stun Bella, Apparate in front of a killing curse for him, and duel Voldemort with an unknown spell. After the memory finished, he said 'Where is Harry, I would like to thank him for saving my life'
'We don't know. He's gone' came lupin's solemn reply.
