Chapter 3
Last we saw Hari, she was having a nightmare about her mum being hurt. Hurt by who and why?
Morning came, for Hari it wasn't a good one. Since she had awoken from her horrible dream, she had been consolidating everything she knew and the horrible truth that the dream revealed. For dream it wasn't, in truth it was hidden memories finally breaking though a block.
When Hari had returned to her true form, it had broken blocks placed on her as a baby. Who placed blocks on her magic you would ask? Why none other than Albus Percival Brian Wulfric Dumbledoor. It seems that the blocks also had the unexpected side effect to hiding her memories of being a baby.
What could a baby's memory reveal that could be so devastating to Hari? It seemed that without the blocks she had a photographic memory and as a baby was very smart, you could say genius. As such, she could remember just how her dad, James Potter, had treated her mom. She can recall all the times that bastard beat Lily. How he would drag her to their room by her hair. That scum had hurt her mom in more than one way.
She often was held by a crying Lily, apologizing that she couldn't get them away from that monster. Looking back thru the eyes of a sixteen year old, Hari noticed that her mom had some kind of magic bracelet that made it impossible to leave the house or to defend her self against James with magic.
Knowing what I know now I believe she used blood runes to hide and protect me. She would not want me to suffer the same humiliating fate as she had.
Hari remembers the name Lily would call her when James wasn't around, my little Sahara. Hari became her nickname with her mom. Her mom would impart warnings to her that she will be wary of certain people. People like Dumb-as-a-door and his Order of Fried Chicken. This was expounded on with the memory of Albus binding her magic and then placing her of the steps of Durzkban.
With all the memories both new and old, Hari new that she would have to be very careful of Dumbledoor. She didn't want to end up like her mom. Dumb-as-a-whore could not find out that she knew what he did to her or the real life of her mom and James. If he found out she would obliviated and caged.
Sahara needed to plan carefully and find a way to escape Dumbledoor manipulations. Now that she was a girl, she would needed to protect herself from unwanted attentions from males like Ronald Weasley. She shudders in revolt at the thought of him trying anything. Weasel had always been after fame and money. What better way for him than to try and claim the now girl-who-lived. This she wouldn't stand for. If he tried, she'd kill him, period. No male was going to force himself on her if she had anything to say about it.
She would need to get in control of her finances and find who was her magical guardian, most likely was that Dumbledoor was in control of both. Maybe she could use her Slytherin connections to oust Dumbledoor as her guardian and take back control of her vaults. She wouldn't even know that she had more than one vault or that she had a magical guardian if it wasn't for her friends in the snake pit. They had been teaching her what it meant to be Head of a Noble and Ancient House and her rights and responsibilities. Sahara decided then and there as she was sitting in the hospital wing that Dumbledoor and all those who had wronged her and her mom would PAY!
In another part of the castle a meeting is going on. In the headmaster office sits Dumbledoor, Molly Weasley, and Ron Weasley. Plots nefarious in nature are of foot.
Just what is the headmaster planing and will Hari find out in time to prevent it.
