What Was The Question?

by Rin-chanbaby

Summary: Harry has lived his entire life being told what to do, by the time he is entered in the triwizard tournament he decides enough is enough. For once in his life he is going to do whatever he wants with no repercussions. Will he follow the everyone wants or will he show a side that nobody knows? P.S. I will be switching between third and first person perspective.

1. September Blues

Chapter One

September Blues

It was the end of summer and Harry was finally on his way home. The only place he had considered home in his fourteen years on this earth. Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry had been the first place Harry had truly felt he belonged. Even with the constant near death experiences and accusations and suspicion within the wizarding world there was no place he would rather be. For good reason he did not consider number 4 Privet Drive to be his home.

The most prominent reason was the love between him and his "family". Love meaning pure hatred for that was all that could exist within the small minds and hearts of his relatives. Hatred bred by a need of normalcy within the walls of number 4. It wasn't for lack of trying that Harry received this hatred, purely based on something that at the time he had no knowledge of. This being said the first 11 years of his life were nothing compared to the hatred and abuse he received after he started attending Hogwarts.

He believed this was due to the fact they weren't able to beat the magic from him. So no number 4 Privet Drive was not home. Another common misconception made was that the Burrow was his home. Sure he loved the Weasleys as they had shown him nothing but kindness in the years he had known them. That being said they were so firmly set in their belief that Dumbledore could do no wrong that they never truly trusted that he was abused despite all evidence supporting his claim.

He still loved them but he could not have a home without trust. The only place he truly felt at home was within the walls of Hogwarts. He had noticed long ago that Hogwarts was a sentient being that loved and protected those within her walls. Her magic soothed Harry in a way that felt like a mother comforting her child. Hogwarts asked for nothing from him but still protected and nurtured him and that was why he accepted her as his home. So on this cold and rainy September day all his excitement was due to finally being able to head home.
