Chapter 1: Doing things my way

Disclaimer: I don't own anything, and Harry Potter belongs to J.K. Rowling. If I had the money to buy it do really think I'd be here writing? lol

A/N: Chapter name pretty much explains it all. Please read and review

"Mundungus just tell us what happened."

"I... I don't know somebody grabbed me from behind."

"Dung we need to know, where is Harry? Do you know where he is?"

"Harry? I... I don't know anyone named Harry."

"Yes you do, you were guarding him. Now, tell us, did they take Harry?"

"I was guarding someone? But, I remember drinking firewhiskey. Oh dear, am I gonna lose my job over this?

Dumbledore stood next to the bed of a sleeping Mundungus in the Hogwarts infirmary conversing with the nurse, Madam Pomfrey. "He's clearly the victim of a botched obliviation attempt. They succeeded in removing his memory of Mr. Potter but the places and details remain. His only other ailments are a few bumps and bruises."

"Thank you for your assessment Poppy. I'll be calling a meeting of the order later tonight to organize the search for Harry."

"Albus what's wrong? Is it Harry?"

Dumbledore sighed, "Yes Molly I'm afraid it is."

"What has that attention seeking brat done this time?"

"Enough Severus, Harry is not James, let your grudge die with the man it's against."

"Albus what is going on?"

"Molly, I'm afraid Harry is missing. His home was attacked last night and Mundungus was obliviated. The house burned to the ground and there are no signs of Harry or his relatives.

Furious whispering filled the room before Snape spoke, "It couldn't have been death eaters, Mundungus would be dead."

"Indeed, but why Mr. Fletcher is alive is not important right now, finding Harry is. I want everyone out doing a sweep from Surrey to London and checking for any leads on Harry's whereabouts. His safety is of the utmost importance, understood? Good, dismissed." Nobody missed the slump in his shoulders as the aging Headmaster hurried from the room.

As everyone exited the room Molly muttered to herself, "My god, how am I going to tell the kids?"

A few thousand miles away the man in question sat in the Three Broomsticks finishing off a butterbeer. "Would you like another Mr. Potter?" Asked the the barmaid Madam Rosmerta as she walked by with a firewiskey for another table.

"No thank you ma'am, but I would like a room for the night if it's not too much trouble."

"None at all, just give me a minute..."

The following morning

A bleary eyed Remus Lupin sat a table in the Three Broomsticks nursing a large glass of firewiskey. Being a weekday morning all the regulars were at work leaving Lupin and Rosmerta alone.

"So what's got you all worked up Remus?"

Remus smiled wryly before staring back into his glass. Rosmerta never was one to judge a person but things they couldn't control. "Harry's missing, I was out all night searching for him."

Rosmerta's look became confused, "But, He bought a room last night."

Remus bolted upright, suddenly wide awake. "What did you say?"

"Aye, he's been in his room all night. Upstairs, third one on the right."

Just as they finished talking Harry down the stairs and froze as he caught sight of Remus. "Well, shit." Without another word Harry spun around and took off back up the stairs with Remus hot on his heels.

"Harry, wait!" As they reached the end of the corridor Remus managed to grab Harry's arm and spin him around but anything he was about to say was cut off as they both disappeared with a snap.

They both reappeared with a bang inside Gringotts bank. Their momentum carried them into a wall where Remus pinned Harry against it. "Harry stop, what the hell is going on?"

Harry stared at Remus with a cold and calculating smirk, "Sorry Remy can't talk right now. How 'bout you let go of me before somebody gets hurt."

It was then that Remus realized the tip of a wand was jammed into his chest. He only had enough time to look Harry in the eye before a muttered "Stupefy" sent him into unconsciousness.

Harry grinned as he watched Remus slide to the ground unconscious. Meeting Remus in the Three Broomsticks was unexpected but so far everything was still going roughly to plan. He turned to one of the goblin guards that had come over to investigate. "Sorry it seems my friend has had a little too much to drink. Could you help me get him over to a bench?" With the Goblins help Harry managed to get Remus propped up on one of the rooms benches. When an owl arrived from the ministry announcing Harry's expulsion from Hogwarts for use of magic He calmly refolded the letter and placed it in Remus' pocket. A quick visit to his vault later and Harry disappeared from Gringotts in a crack of apparition.
