Parseltongue
Chapter Three: Looking Over Past Mistakes
Harry was shocked. No, shocked was putting it mildly. His whole life had been turned upside-down in a matter of minutes. First off, his mother wasn't related to those awful people he was forced to live with. Second, He was the heir of all four of the Hogwarts houses. He doubted that was a common occurrence. Third, his parents left a will stating Sirius was innocent, yet he was put in Azkaban without a trial. Lastly, Dumbledore knew it.
Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore. Was everything Skeeter wrote about him true? He hated that little bug, but maybe her words had merit. He just couldn't find a plausible reason why Dumbledore would keep this information from him that would keep him in his good graces. Dumbledore was not who he thought he was.
He left Gringotts with a the list of his houses, a copy of his parent's will, 500 galleons from his Potter vault, and a bag of automatically refilling coins which connected to his Peverell vault. He decided to hold off shopping for a later date and instead got a cheap room at the Leaky Cauldron for 10 galleons a night.
Inside the room he found an exact replica of the room he had gotten in his third year. He placed his things on the desk and found a quill, parchment, and ink in the drawer inside the desk, so he decided to think over his previous life.

Harry laughed when he read pointed hat. He had gotten that during his first year but all it had done was collected dust.
Harry first set out to glamour his wand knowing once he had that he could glamour himself so no one could recognize who he was.
He head over to the Ollivander's shop and found it vacant.
"Ah, yes," said Mr. Ollivander. "Yes, yes. I thought I'd be seeing you today. Harry Potter." It wasn't a question. "You have your mother's eyes. It seems only yesterday she was in here herself buying her first wand . Ten and a quarter inches long, swishy, made of willow. Nice wand for charm work."
Mr. Ollivander moved closer to Harry. Harry wished he would blink. Those silver eyes were a bit creepy.
"Your father on the other hand, favored a mahogany wand. Eleven inches. Pliable. A little more power and excellent for transfiguration. But you already know this, don't you. I've already told you this."
Harry blinked. How did the man know? He reminded him a bit of Luna, maybe he was a relative. Everyone born into the wizarding world is related somehow.
"Now I don't know which wand you're getting, but it seems you do, Mister Potter."
"It's holly and phoenix feather, eleven inches, brother of Riddle's wand"
Ollivander seemed to know exactly which wand he was talking about because he immediately dashed off to get a box which incased the wand which Harry cherished.
"Test it Mister Potter, your wand might not be the same as last time."
But Harry cast a charm which sent red sparks out of his wand and he immediately knew it worked.
"Ah, well it seems the wand still works for you. While his soul may be gone, it still taints you. Remember that Mister Potter. That shall be ten galleons."
Harry passed over the ten galleons, and cast a glamour on himself turning his hair blond, eyes blue, and hid his scar. He exited the store to start shopping for his school supplies.
He first stopped at Eeylops Owl Emporium, to get Hedwig. When Hedwig died, he was upset, but had no time to mourn because of the war. Now that he had her back, he was going to cherish every minute he had with her.
Then he went to Flourish and Blotts and gots all the book on the school list plus some on wizarding culture, wizarding government, Voldemort, and himself. Hermione was right, he should have read as much about himself as he could when he first came to diagon alley.
He then went to Madam Malkin's to get dress robes and his pointed hat. It was such a muggle thing, that he wondered if some muggleborn decided to put that on the list to confuse the purebloods.
After being fitted he got a trunk at Titalia's Trunks. He got one with five separate compartments, one of which was a library, he knew Hermione would love that one.
He got the other supplies at various shops throughout Diagon Alley and walked back to his room at the Leaky Cauldron.
Once putting all his things away he took out his wand to test to see if he was still a Parselmouth. Ollivander said something about the soul tainting him, and he wondered if that meant he still had the ability.
"Serpensortia," he said.
"Can you understand me?" he hissed.
"A speaker! Oh Great Speaker, of course I can understand you!"
Harry sighed in relief. He could still speak Parseltongue. He could still rescue Ginny.
Sorry this wasn't written very well, but I was busy. Next chapter should be posted between 10/2 and 10/16. Feedback is always welcome!
Reviews:
Bet7368: Going to follow and see the outcome. Thanks!
fic fan: I hope Harry gets a medical test done and sues the Arse off the Dursleys and Dumbledore is fined, sued and gets removed from his positions because of the abuse of his positions and using Harrys seats and votes ! This is going to happen, but not until after he Sirius gets out of Azkaban.
Serenityselena: oh my... what shocking revelations. . . can't wait for Harry's reaction to everything :) Thanks!
Vegasman59: Damn, and He has quite a bit! Great start now what will Harry do when he finds out Dumbles has stolen his guardianship from those who deserved it. Me thinks we will have a totally new Harry! Great start keep it coming! Thanks!
Guest: A. You don't copy and paste Harry Potter, then add a few sentences after. It's annoyong, I own the books, audio books, and ebooks. So most Potterheads. We don't need this senseless trick to up your word count.
B. You don't copy and paste your reviews in the story. That's a cheap trick some pretend authors do to up their word count. It's also against ffnet's TOS.
C. I'm reporting you for your non-story content. Mainly because you ticked me off and ruined what could have been an epic story if you didn't use word count tricks. First off I know quite a few Potterheads that don't own the books and don't have the series memorized. I used it as a reference point and I, personally hate having to have the book open next to me when I read fanfictions. I also generally don't like when people reword the chapter because it almost never comes out right. It's also a pain in the neck to have my book open and copy the words directly from the book and then bold them, so if I wanted to up my word count, I would've just written more. It doesn't take that much work to add in a couple hundred more words in. Second, it says nowhere in fanfiction's TOS that you are not allowed to post reviews in your story. I originally thought I was just going to reply to everyone's reviews individually, but realized if someone had a question, it would be easier to post the answer once and not send it multiple times. If you haven't seen people posting reviews into their stories you obviously haven't read to many stories on . Lastly, I have not broken any of the the rules applying to non-story content. Non-story content, according to the TOS, only refers to when you post a chapter which has polls, previews, author's notes, etc. If this is how you judge stories, you're not going to find many stories on you'll like. Thanks for saying my story would be epic, I guess that's a compliment coming from you.
Starboy454: good updates Thanks!
Nanettez: I have seen much of this in other stories. Yeah, I know this has been in other stories, but I'll try to make mine different. Thanks for the feedback!
Nanettez: The ride was around 25 minutes and cost him 64 and 10 pence
Why didn't he just go to the railway station and catch the train. The taxi fare it a very large amount of money.
Lily Marie Potter née Whiton
Harry's mother's Last name wasn't Evans, it was Witton. Why the change between Whiton and Witton?
So far this is like many other stories. Honestly, I didn't make him take a train because I had no idea how much it would cost to get a train or how far away the nearest train station was from him. Thanks from the mistake in his mother's last name. Autocorrect changed it. Thanks for the feedback!
: I find it strange that Harry remembers his life but doesn't know the bricks to get into Diagon Alley, maybe he doesn't exactly remember his life and it just isn't clear to me. Overall, it's interesting, Harry seems to be fighting the time somewhat, like what once happened will repeat, but he's kind of making slow progress. Will follow to know more. He doesn't remember which bricks to press because he's only used that way to get to diagon alley because he's only been there a few times. He's going to move at a much faster pace later on. Thanks for the feedback!
DaughterofHadesBloodofPylos: Great story so far! Thanks!
