Chapter 4
At privet dr. harry sat on the small broken twin bed reflecting on the last few years. These events played through his head easily. Harry seemed to be able to recall things easier lately, that confused the raven haired youth. He reviewed his years at the place he once considered home. Frist year meeting the Weasley now seemed contrived, a woman who must have been to the platform dozens if not hundreds of times before screaming about 'now what is the platform number'. Plus why didn't they simply floe to the platform from their house? Next Ron lies about there being no empty compartments, he then insults Hermione and forces neville out of the compartment, was he keeping me isolated at school? Halloween he calls Hermione a nightmare and causes her to cry in a loo all day long. The troll attacked…wait that doesn't make any since… she was frozen in fear the entire time, until the troll was unconscious, so how could she remind Ron of the levitation spell?
Harry sat and pondered this and noticed more discrepancies with what event. McGonagall, Snape, Quirrell and Dumbledore being there seemed strange as Snape was on the third floor as was Quirrell and the professors were in the dungeons, both locations were on the other side of the castle. Secret passages or not the whole event took only minutes, how did they all arrive so quickly to Myrtle's loo?
Then as if a light switch was flipped a different set of events played out in Harry's mind; he noticed Hermione was missing and asked Parvati where she was and was told. Quirrell did ramble about the troll and the pretend faint. When the old idiot called to have the Prefects move the students to the common rooms harry asked Ron to help, Ron proceeded to tell harry to leave the mudblood to her fate… he knew that she was going to be attacked…as he stated then that the uppity mudblood was going to have an accident as the headmaster had planned and to leave it be. The shocked made him hold back and went alone to help Hermione. The twins heard Ron and told Percy who alerted Dumbles. Harry did jump on the trolls' back and stuck his wand up its nose and was swung around be he wished the troll would just vanish. This stopped the troll dead and it fell he did not know that he had vanished its brain. Hermione clung to him for fear of dropping in a faint. She stayed that way all the way back to the common room. Just before they entered the portrait Dumbles turned up and modified their memories of the event. Later over the yule holidays the cloak and that damn mirror was of course in an empty class room where any student could find it bullocks. The old man then taking a broom of all things to London, when he has a direct floe and can make portkeys, the fucker was in the castle and waiting for us probably watching somehow, and then destroys the stone nope bet he kept it for himself.
Second year the damn Heir of Slytherin and loose fart. How could a man who controls the wards and the portraits not know about a 20 meter plus snake roaming about the school. A bloody second year should not have been the one to work this out. A diary that radiates so much dark magic did not trip the wards of a thousand year of castle? Dumbles allowed it into a school filled with impressionable young minds.
That summer and the Marge incident either Dumbles or fudge greased the wheels with the underage office. Pettigrew, the bastard, the old man had to have known that the rat was the secret keeper he cast the fucking fidelius. Then the godsdamn Dementors what a cluster fuck that was getting attacked three times by the foul beasts. Hermione and the broom incident, while not truly upset about her running to McGonagall she should have spoken to him about it first. Then Dumbles' pet death eater seeking revenge on the Marauders.
Then there was last year the thrice damned goblet spitting out my name, the school and Weasley's refusal to admit he wanted to participate. Then Hermione crushing my heart…
Harry thought back to the first of November
Harry and Hermione were both sitting at her normal table in the library
"Hermione?"
"Hmm" was her reply
"You are a wonderful person, thank you so much for believing me."
"Of course Harry" she said without looking up.
"W-w-would you consider being my girlfriend? He stuttered out trying to feel the courage he was supposed to have.
"Sure harry now let me read." She said in a snippy way.
Harry realized that she just blew him off he felt crushed at her blatant refusal. He told her he would see her later and left the library. She did not even notice his departure for over an hour, when she did she assumed that he had just finished his work and not wanting to disturb her quietly left. She then packed her stuff and met harry for dinner in the great hall. The weeks passed and their interaction did not change at all.
Near the end of November the yule ball was announced and harry tried to grab Hermione's attention again and thought he had it.
"Hermione?"
"Yes Harry?" he glanced up briefly.
"Um would you be my date for the yule ball please?" he said quietly.
"Harry we have to figure out what the egg says; let's just get back to work." Was her scolding response.
Harry was again devastated; his fragile ego that the girl sitting next to him helped to build up was destroyed in her actions yet again.
"Yeah I am going to go." He said packing up and leaving again she failed to notice for a while.
A few days later Krum got her attention and asked her to the ball for which she accepted. It was later that week that Weasley made the stupid comment about her, being a girl had his demand she go to the ball with him. Of course she took offence to that.
Harry thought despite her trying to get him to fully forgive Weasley for being a dick, he was going to support her however her next comment dashed is hopes once again when she stated she already had a date.
The night of the ball as the beauty that was his friend descended the stairs and took Krum's arm, harry wanted to leave but his pride would not allow that, so he toughed it out. When Weasley started arguing once again, he chooses not to get involved. Her yelling for him to go to bed just washed over him. Then the rest of the past and the final task.
Now this summer harry realized that he was truly alone. His realities were right he was an unlovable freak. Well if that is how the people of the wizarding world felt then fuck them.
Harry's decision made, he began to pack the few possessions that he had into an old day pack, he then sat and thought about where he wanted to go. He need help but who could he tru…st "Dobby" *pop* the little elf appeared.
"Oh Mister Harry Potter sir calls Dobby and Dobby comes."
"Hello my friend thank you for coming how is Winky?"
"Oh Mr. Harry Potter sir she is nots doings so well."
"Winky." *pop*
"Hic..Larry porter calllls inky? Hic"
"Winky if I bond you and Dobby to me could you both help me. You can't trust anyone but me. I was hoping the two of you would be willing to do that?"
Dobby was nearly ready to reach orbit with how he was bouncing, Winky just looked dumbfounded.
"Yous wants Winky?"
"Yes Winky both you and dobby what say you both?" harry suddenly had both legs being hugged by two exuberant elves "ok guys how do we do this?"
"You just place your hands on our heads and say you take us as your elves."
"I Harry James Potter do take Dobby and Winky as my friends, family and elves." A glow surrounded them and both gained quite a lot of height, their minds developed further and their bodies and overall health were optimized.
"Thank you so much Harry you truly are a wonderful person. I am so happy to be part of your family." Said a tearful Winky.
The new speech pattern of the female elf shocked him "Winky are you talking differently?"
"Of course we that is elves gain not just magic but physical and mental benefits from whom we are bonded. However as you bonded us as family we are no longer bound by our curse. Cloths no longer free us as I am now and forever more Winky Potter and he is Dobby Potter."
"Wow why doesn't anyone else know this?" Harry asked.
"Magical humans for the most part see those not like themselves as inferior and should be subservient. That and some fell that 'lesser' beings are to be treated as the Malfoys treated me." Dobby explained.
"Ah that makes since I guess, now here's the plan I came up with…" harry said as he then explained the plan.
"Harry maybe you should go the Gringotts first, wait allow me to explain. First you are the last of the potter family that could allow you to take up the head of house status, second you were forced to participate in that tournament last year, that was only for adults. The chief warlock/headmaster, head of international affairs and head of games and sports all stated you had to compete therefore they declared you of age. The goblins can verify this which I would defiantly recommend we can see them as soon as possible."
"I guess that would work, how should we get there I really don't want to be seen?" harry asked.
"That is not a problem just take my hand." Dobby said holding out his hand.
Wink shrunk Harry's trunk and took his day pack handing them to harry and took him other hand and with a pair of pops the trio were gone.
