Chapter 2

July 16 8:00 am

His body screamed, his arms burned, his legs throbbed but he would not let up. It had been two weeks since he and Dudley had made their deal and it proved to be both wonderful and horrible. Wonderful for the simple fact that Dudley knew what he was doing, he taught Harry the basics of Boxing and how to fight dirty. Harry asked him "Why fight dirty? Thats not honorable." Dudley sneered at him and said "If you fight fairly then you'll never win. You got to stop being honorable and start being practical." Harry stared and responded "Well I'll be damned something you said actually made sense." That earned Harry a punch to the gut.

Now while it was a wonderful set up it was also mind-numbingly intense. Dudley proved himself to be a wicked taskmaster that had a way of putting you down on par with Snape. "Goodnes Potter you can barely lift 15 kilos?! Are you bloody serious?! I can't believe your so weak!" Dudley yelled at him for his inability to lift anything heavier then 15 kg "I'm better at running you fat blob!" Harry yelled back. "

Just for that I'm not gonna spot you anymore" Dudley said in a childish manner. Unfortunately for Harry his arms collapsed under the weight of the bar and it came down crushing his chest, with no spotter Harry was forced to struggle for 5 minutes before getting it off his chest. "Bloody git." He muttered to himself.

July 17th 7:00 am

Harry awoke from his deep sleep on his day off and pondered his situation for a few minutes before starting his day. 'I think I'm doing good, I know I've put on a little bit of weight and muscle so that is very good, and I've just about gone though all my notes from the last two years. Merlin I hate studying' Just then his musings where interrupted by a flash of fire. "Fawkes?" Harry said with a questioning look in his eye as he sat up on his mattress. Fawkes flew to his bed and in his beak he carried two letters. One from Dumbledore and one from Gringotts. "Thanks Fawkes do you want an Owl Treat?" Harry asked and laughed when Fawkes looked at him insulted as in to say "I'm not a common owl you idiotic human" and he disappeared in a flash.

'Well I wonder what this is all about' he said to himself as he decided to open up the Gringotts letter first.

Dear Mr. Potter

Harry looked at the letter. He understood Sirius having a Will Reading but his parents? Wasn't this a decade to late? Hopefully Dumbledore's Letter would clear somethings up for him.

Dear Harry,

My boy I have stopped by Gringotts to get you a private reading of both your parents and Sirius's Will. As there Heir you are entitled to one and before you get angry about your parents will not being read to you until now, I was only following what the Will stated should be done in case of their demise. I will be along to pick you up on the Twentieth of July at 11:00 am you should pack all of your belongings because you will not be returning. Until then my boy enjoy what few days you have left because many things will change for you by the end of the day.

Yours Truly,

Albus

Harry stared at the letter unsure of what to make of it. He was angry that his parents Will had not been read to him but Dumbledore said he was following his parents wishes so he would just have to wait and trust the Headmaster. What really worried him was the end of the letter, what was going to happen? "If it's another prophecy I swear I'll just off myself and be done with it." he muttered to himself darkly.

July 20th 11:00 am

As he waited for Dumbledore to arrive he sat on his trunk thinking back to the surprising way his Aunt and Uncle had acted when he told them the news that he would be leaving.

*Flashback*

Harry walked into the living room where his aunt was reading a romance novel and his uncle was going over some reports from work. "Ummm Aunt Petunia? Uncle Vernon? May I speak with you?" Vernon looked up to see his Nephew looking back down to his reports he said "What is it boy?" Harry took in a deep breath and sighed "I'm leaving." His relatives stopped what they where doing and looked at him. Petunia was the first speak "What do you mean your leaving? As in your leaving for the summer or your leaving for good?"

He stared at her and spoke "I don't know I just received a letter from the Headmaster and in it he said to gather all of my because he is going to pick me up on the Twentieth and he says I won't be returning. It also says that what I'm going to learn that day will change my life so I'm guessing I probably will leave forever if it truly is life altering."

Vernon stood up and started walking toward Harry. He wanted to back-up but he decided if he was going to stand up to the face of evil then he should be able to stand to his Uncle. Vernon stood in front of Harry and did the most unexpected thing. He hugged him, for the first time n his life he hugged Harry. Harry stood frozen in place unable to comprehend what was happening.

Vernon finally spoke to him "I'm sorry for the way I treated you boy, I truly am. I was afarid of what you would become and I used my fear and punished you for it. I'm sorry will you forgive me?" Vernon was on the verge of tears, he truly wanted redemption but he knew he didn't deserve it. He had sent him to live in a cupboard most of his life and he abused him as well. He did not deserve a second chance. Harry looked up into his eyes and with a twinkle reminiscent of Dumbledore he smiled and said "Ya I do forgive you and he returned the hug."

Petunia asked for his forgiveness as well and she to received it. For the first time Harry felt a bit of the love that he yearned for when he was young, but he knew it would soon be over and that he would have to leave them forever to fight off evil and to keep them and everyone else safe.

*End Flashback*

Harry was startled by a loud crack that could only be the sound of Apparition. "Ahh Harry how are you? I see that you are ready." Dumbledore looked at Harry with that twinkle that everyone associated with him. "Yes Professor, I'm ready to go when you are. One question though." Harry looked at him hoping he would say yes. "I'll see if I can answer it my boy, ask away."

Harry sighed and said "You mentioned in your letter that the information I would learn today would change me life. Will it change my life in a good way or a bad way? If it's bad I don't think I can stand it. I'm tired of bad news." Dumbledore looked at his young student and smiled "Harry I am sure that when you find out what is going on you will be happy at the turn of events that are in store for you. Trust me, now lets be off." He held out his hand and asked Harry to take hold. Has he did the felt as if he was being squeezed through a small tube and with a loud crack they where gone.
