Chapter 1 Introduction:
Long time before his close call with the dementors at summer after his 4'th year at Hogwarts and his summon to to the ministry for that, Harry had done things he found out he was alone to be able to surreptitiously. Harry had at a young age already developed some abilities, and his confidence other people had disappeared because of too many disappointments in his upbringing, and this just signalized bad intentions from someone in the ministry.
The abilities Harry learned early in his life included the ability to hide his knowledge, as even a slip of hint that he was able to do freek things was indeed highway to be in the cupboard hungry and in pain. While he was locked in the closet and hunger had reached the threshold to where you can kill something, or someone, to eat, Harry had forced his fingers and hands through the narrow slit that was in the small vent for light and air at the door.
His ability to do hand and arm sufficiently narrow and thin, and to be bent so that he could push aside the slider, giving him access to the pantry and refrigerator. Of course, he also had to relock the door behind him when he was back in. He knew what would happen otherwise.
That was one of the abilities Harry had developed the ability to stretch his body to incredible levels. Moreover, he had learned how he could change his appearance, it was actually added bonus to the same ability.
He had carefully thought about how he suddenly could be on the roof of the school having tried to escape Dudley. It led to his ability to suddenly be somewhere else in a blink of an eye.
But since he had not been able to learn how it was done, he broke down everything he had done in detail, it was then he discovered that he could pass through solid objects, if he took it very slowly, because it was what he really had done, partly in each case, being able to move himself out from closed rooms.
Even before he got the letter from Hogwarts, he could stretch the body to come out even if the escape route was small as a rat hole, or slowly move through solid walls or doors. He could also move huge distances in an instant, whether he was trapped or not. Naturally, the skills he had learned, he had to be extremely secretive about.
Would he be a magic school, he would learn more things there, he reckoned that when he learned those things where, not before that he could show them he had already learned, but until then, it would be his own secret.
Just as it was with his ability to change the appearance. It had started with his hair had grown out of the night, after he began, secretly of course, practice to control the ability to change hair length and color, and gradually he became bolder, and with it he changed both the face - and body shape. In the plan he hold, it would be invaluable to have the ability of his pursuers did not know that he could change his appearance.
He had begun planning his escape from the Dursley's long before his Hogwarts Letter found him, but the presentation of the magic world made his plans to do a runner delayed. He had expected to stage their summer plans, when he would turn thirteen. Then he would have sufficient capacity to cope if he simultaneously changed this appearance to be slightly older, however, the magic of the world, and not least his vault at Gringotts gave new opportunities and concerns. Therefore, he must first learn enough about the world too.
At first he thought all the problems were solved. Hagrid had shown him sincere friendship. It was the first time he had ever felt the heat from anyone else. Always before all he had met felt cold.
Well, he quickly learned that there was even frostier people in the magic world than those he had previously met. He also met a new feeling, he was forced to begin to re-evaluate how he experienced people. Before, there had been only two types of cold he experienced from the people around him.
But even before he had experienced first night at Hogwarts, he had met the new feelings. The people were magic users, therefore they also radiated more sense of themselves. He had already noticed that when he stepped into the Leaky Cauldron slandered time, but as all was new to him he did not notes.
After four years at Hogwarts, he had pretty good idea of what he knew of the people around him. Falsehood, was the most difficult to interpret. Ronald Weasley spoke as if he was the best friend ever - but it felt false, he had no other name for it.
Draco Malfoy, wonder, perhaps on the verge of respectfulness was one of the feelings he had radiated, as his manner was, well, it was. However, there was also a sincere hatred, he had early learned to recognize, but he could also sense a kind of fear in what young Draco radiated.
But - most others were simply empty, as if they were looking to him as the insects made their way to light a dark night. He had learned a lot, and he learned it without showing it to others.
The summer after the second year had been a wake-up call, the days he rented room at the Leaky Cauldron, he had taken good care of it was then that he waved his plans.
He knew that Sirius Black was innocent thanks to the will of his parents, it was witnessed by Albus Dumbledore, and it said in there that Peter Pettigrew was the real secret keeper and Sirius would be a frontal protection for him.
He had asked Griphook to send a copy of that document to the Ministry. A whole year had passed without the Ministry had even tried to do something useful - in addition to order the kill on sight of Black, it was now that he had escaped.
That along with the emotions he felt when he spoke to the headmaster Albus Dumbledore, and he supported Snape, the plunged Dumbledore on the enemy side, however much Hagrid spoke highly of the old Dumble Harry could not put Dumbledore on any other side then at the enemy to him.
There was a bottomless deep duplicity, but it was not one that stemmed from hatred, Harry had a hard time finding a name for it, but he was leaning toward calling it greed. Hagrid was another of them Dumbledore had sacrificed, that he learned during his second year at Hogwarts.
But in order to escape, he must be fully informed about the possibilities for the pursuers to find him, because he had not been able to do anything more than planning.
Now he stood before the final decision. They had forced him to defend himself, and now he was accused, and they had the threat of sending him to Azkaban. It would be his opportunity, he had several days to prepare, and he took good advantage of that time.
There were flashbacks Harry did while he was planning the final details of his retreat.
With one of the wands he had brought from the family vault, he could transform things, the photo album was important to him, as were his father's invisibility cloak, it was very important, the broom - could be bought again, but why leave it behind.
His plan was to let the Dursley's help him. He showed them the words that he was separated from Hogwarts and going to court, he declared that he would no doubt in prison for several years. Therefore, it was better for all of his stuff was burned up before he was taken to court.
Dursley's looked like Christmas came early, Vernon quickly removed the electric heater from the fireplace and soon a fire burned books, broom and a very fine silk-like fabric, Harry explained, when it had burned up, that was an invisibility cloak. When he broke his treasury wand held Vernon to break out in violence before Harry explained that it is only that, but also explained that enough of it must be left to those who handled the trial would accept that there really had been his wand and a big part of it was burned up, only a few inches of both ends was left.
The photo album was of course a short lived copy where the images were barely visible and lacked any form of magic, as were his flying broom one of Petunias ordinary brooms that was turned into something that was confusingly similar to Harry's broom. In the same way it was with the fabric it was one of Petunias old night outfit, it had a new look and another form. Books, letters, and the whole coffin burned very well and one Vernon Dursley was very pleased. Harry had made an effort to look very dejected and disappointed.
What none of them knew was that the heel of Harry's right shoe contained a complete 7-compartment trunk, complete with well-stocked pantry, money, both galleons, British pounds, but most especially the US dollar and a lot of books, newly purchased, but not least, his most cherished possessions, father's invisibility cloak , the map, and an non magic atlas, photo album and not least the air broom, and two wands from his family vault, and a few non magic toys.
The the left shue contained something Sirius had bought him, an inflatable life raft, though it was modified so that instead of just having a simple fabric covering, there was a proper shelter and ready to hold two persons for a few months, but it also had two brooms unintegrated making it to have the ability to get around both on the water and in the air. Besides that the raft was under a secret spell so that only those who knew about it could see it. The plan was ready to be put into action, the only one who knew anything about it beyond himself and Sirius, was Hedwig.
The trial was as Harry had predicted, a farce, Harry did not go for an aggressive defense, he remained timid, as he had always been up to. The verdict was partly what he had expected, only 1 year at Azkaban, but still - Azkaban it was. - He expected many more years there before he would be relegated to the Muggle world. It had been said that for the time in Azkaban, after that he was to be modified for his new life.
Even when he was in the boat, Harry had thinned out his feet enough to pull them out of the shoes and free themselves from the chains when necessary, shoelaces, however, was tied up in the hem of his trousers, to keep them from disappear from him in the water. Hands were close to clear, but the throat would be the hard part.
He had not really counted on a neck ring, an anti-magic-neck ring also. He had tried to bring his hands sideways through the wrist ring but anti-magic had prevented it, however, his body changing was an ability and it was still functional. He had only one chance, and take it he must. He knew that when he arrived in the Azkaban island all his toys would be lost for him.
He could not change the main form while he sat in front of his guards, but he had begun to prepare for the fastest ever change. Anti-magic would prevent most other opportunities, not even to turn into snake would work.
Sirius had told him how they had taken from him everything when he was admitted there. Harry needed to have his shoes, or more correctly, it was in the shoe heels. Sirius had not said anything about the neck ring.
The problem solved itself, the guards really helped him get one problem solved. One of aurors began tugging and tearing at him, and Harry noticed that the intention was that he should happen to fall overboard. So he helped them.
The first consternation for Albus to hear was when he heard from Weasley's Harry no longer had left her his wand as Albus had told him to. Albus was concerned, more worried become when he discovered that the time and place of the trial had been changed and already had been held when he got there. He saw the remains of Potter's wand of a smiling Fudge and later he also got it confirmed by Ollivander that it was the genuine remains of Harry Potters wand.
