Author Note: I do not own Harry Potter or anything from the DC Universe. Also some of this story was inspired by the fanfiction Harry Isley. If you recognize something from my fanfic then I probably don't own it.

Summary: Harry Potter grew up abused with his relatives. But when he was on vacation in Gotham Harry once again became an orphan when his relatives were killed. Watch Harry growing up in Gotham under the care of Poison Ivy and during his time in and out of Hogwarts. (All Seven Years of Hogwarts and beyond. A Harry Potter/Barbara Gordon/Daphne Greengrass pairing.)

Harry's early years in Hogwarts and pre-Hogwarts years will be more of a summary with a lot of time skips until the story goes more in-depth when Harry is a bit older.

Warning: This story will be very AU so if you don't like the fact that I messed with the Harry Potter or DC Universe, you can read something else.

Chapter 14

It was a week before finals at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and Daphne Greengrass was in a funk. Since Harry had been arrested in early November, life at Hogwarts had been very difficult for Daphne. Everyday she had to go through people teasing her about being betrothed to a Dark Lord and on several occasions she had to defend herself from students. On top of all of this, while should would not admit it out loud, Daphne found herself truly missing Harry. She realized now that while they originally had a friendship of convenience, now she found that she missed training and talking with her betrothed. The worst part of all of this was that even though the attacks continued after Harry was arrested, until yesterday when Professor Dumbledore saved Ginny Weasley from the Chamber of Secrets, many people still thought that Harry was the culprit for some strange reason.

As Daphne was walking down the third floor hallway she was pulled out of her thoughts when she heard a voice call out in front of her,

"Hey Greengrass!"

Daphne looked up to see a very red faced Ronald Weasley standing in front of her with his wand pointing at her.

"Yes Weasel?" Daphne replied icily.

"What did Potter do to my sister you slimy snake?"

Daphne just stared at Ron with a blank look and then replied,

"I have no idea what you are talking about Weasel, but probably nothing considering he hasn't been at Hogwarts since November."

Ron just seethed for he spat back at Daphne,

"Don't lie to me you Slytherin Slut! He some how convinced Ginny that she was possessed by You-Know-Who and now she thinks that she was the one attacking people..."

"What? You're telling me that your idiot sister attacked all these people?"

"Of course not! No Gryffindor would attack the school, it had to be your boyfriend Greengrass... So now I'm going to put you in your place for what he did to my sister."

As Ron finished speaking he slashed his wand and yelled out,

"Petrificus Totalus!"

Daphne responded with a quick

"Protego!" and "Stupefy!"

This caused Daphne to shield the body bind curse and then stun Ron. After Ron fell to the ground she walked over to him and kicked him in the bits before storming of to the owlery... she had a letter to write her father.

Barbara Gordon was sitting at her desk in her bedroom going over some homework problems and thinking about Harr-no, Snakeroot. When she first started to talk to Snakeroot she was convinced that she must be crazy. But overtime she quickly became friends with Snakeroot and even considered him her best friend. Yet even if they were best friends, she realized that she threw it all away over the Joker incident. She didn't want to admit it out loud, and especially not to Batman or Robin, but she kind of understood where Snakeroot's opinion. It didn't help much when the Joker managed to break out of Arkham earlier this past May... she didn't know how she was going to face Har-Snakeroot when she told him. As she thought about her fallout with Snakeroot she was reminded of another fallout she had recently:

Flashback

Barbara just finished tying up the Riddler with the help of Batman when Robin walked up to the pair. Barbara stared at the sweating Robin who seemed to grow a little pale under her gaze before he asked,

"Can I speak to you in private Batgirl?"

Barbara just raised an eyebrow...not that Robin could tell... and nodded before walking out of the warehouse with Robin behind her. She looked over to Batman for approval but he just gave her a knowing look and waved them off. Now extremely confused Batgirl walked out of the warehouse and turned on Robin.

"What's this about Robin?"

Robin just started to sweat a little more and rubbed his palms on his pants.

"Well, ?"

"What?"

"I said, would you like to go on a date with me next Friday."

Barbara's mind went blank and she just starred at Robin. Then she processed everything and then finally just laughed. This made Robin go red in the face until he yelled,

"Hey, this isn't a laughing matter! I'm serious I want you to be my girlfriend!"

This just made Barbara bend over and laugh a little louder. After a few seconds when she sobered up she saw the look on Robin's face and explained.

"I-I'm s-sorry R-Robin, hehe, it's j-just that I n-now owe Snakeroot twenty dollars." She then finished by giggling a little.

"How is that funny and how can you owe that jerk money?"

When she heard this Barbara instantly stopped laughing and got more serious.

"First off Robin, Snakeroot was my friend. Second, he bet me twenty dollars that you had a crush on me and I said that I didn't believe him, which is why I owe him twenty dollars."

Robin didn't respond, but instead he just steadily got redder in the face. After she finished and then just stared at him with a blank look for a second he finally had enough and exploded.

"How can you still talk about that jerk? He is a criminal and probably already a murderer. He almost killed both the Joker and Batman! And yet all you have done since Arkham is defend him! Where are your priorities? You're my girl not his!"

As soon as he had finished Robin new that he had gone too far. Batgirl just got redder in the face until he finished and then she grabbed his shoulders, pinned him to the wall and proceeded to yell in his face,

"Look here you little shit! I've had enough of you and the Bats bad mouthing Snakeroot. Sure he may not have best character or morals, but the guy just lost the closest thing he had to a mother and had a damn good reason to want to kill the Joker! I'm sick and tired of trying to defend myself for a friendship that I threw away in order to help you people, yet I have gotten no thanks from either you or Batman. Instead I just get lectured on doing my duty and my poor choice of friends... I've had enough Robin. I need a break."

And with that Barbara let go off Robin's shirt and started to walk away, but not before tossing over her shoulder:

"And there is no way in hell I would go on a date with you."

End Flashback

Since her fight with Robin, Batman decided that 'Batgirl' needed to go on a vacation to get her head clear and remember what her duties were. Barbara just shook her head and looked over to the windowsill where Harry's owl Hedwig was perched. Hedwig arrived mid-November and had not left to do more then hunt ever since. Whenever Barbara tried to give her a letter to deliver to Harry she would just give her a sad hoot and stay on her perch. Barbara decided to pen another letter to Harry and put it in the box where she kept several other letters that she wrote in case Hedwig could ever find Harry again.

"I hope you're safe Harry." Barbara sighed before going back to her letter.

Harry was sitting in his favorite corner of his cell practicing his animagus transformation and thinking about his life. When he got placed in Azkaban he was angry as hell and even tried to kill his cellmate when he found out who it was, but was prevented by the wards in his cell.

Flashback

Harry just woke up after the dementor left his cell to see a gaunt looking man with torn robes, filthy hair and a long beard looking at him.

"Harry?" The man, no his parents betrayer croaked.

Rather then respond Harry just tackled the man. He was about to punch him in the face when the cell flared white and Harry found himself magically tossed to the other side of the cell.

"What was that?" Harry asked in a daze.

Sirius Black seemed to not be fazed by Harry's attack and just replied,

"It's a ward on the cell. It keeps prisoners from harming each other or the jailors. It is probably one of the only good things about Azkaban... unless of course you want to break out of Azkaban."

Harry just stared at the man who was sitting on the other side of the cell and looking at him.

"Why did you do it Black?" Harry asking while spitting out the last name.

Sirius just winced before saying,

"I didn't Harry..."

"Don't lie to me Black, everyone knows that you were guilty."

"Just like everyone knows that you're guilty?" This made Harry paused, which Sirius used to continue. "I was never your parents secret keeper, me and Peter switched. After your parents were attacked I hunted down Peter, but he framed me and turned into his animagus form of a rat and ran off. I wish I could prove it to you, but there is nothing I can do about it here... please believe me."

Harry just looked him over before getting up and walking towards him.

"Are you sure you want to prove it to me?"

Sirius just nodded with a few tears in his eyes.

"Very well... I should warn you that I haven't refined my technique yet, so this is going to hurt."

Before Sirius could respond Harry grabbed the sides of his head with both hands and stared him in the eyes while calling out:

"Legilimens!"

Harry then proceeded to rip through Sirius' mind until he found the memories Sirius was talking about earlier. Once he found the memories of the Potters making Peter the secret keeper and Sirius trying to find Peter, Harry quickly released his hold and jumped back as if he was burned.

"I'm so sorry Sirius, I really didn't believe you... I'm so sorry."

Sirius who at this point was shaking on the ground just looked up to Harry and gave him a weak smile.

"It's alright Harry, I probably would have done the same... at least you believe me now. I'm still waiting to receive my trial."

"Well, hopefully you won't be waiting too much longer."

"Yeah right, how's that Harry."

"Simple, we are going to break out of Azkaban... I mean, people break out of Arkham all the time back home. How hard could this be?"

Sirius just stared at him like he grew an extra head before he tilted his head back and laughed.

"That's a good one pup. And just how do you plan to do that?"

Harry just frowned for a few minutes before he looked up at Sirius and gave him a smirk that would make a Marauder proud.

"Sirius," Harry asked while never losing his smirk, "what do you know about becoming an animagus?"

End Flashback

Since that day Harry and Sirius slowly got to know each other and let the other into their hearts. While neither would admit it, they both knew that getting to know the other was starting the heal the loss from losing their Aunt and best friends respectively. Over the months Sirius would spend time teaching Harry everything that he knew about his parents, magic, and mostly importantly animagi. During this time Sirius taught Harry a lot about the Black family and how dark in no way means evil.

Harry was finishing changing his arms into wings he heard footsteps approaching and quickly changed back. Harry looked up from his seat on the floor to see Minister Fudge, Albus Dumbledore, and three other men that he didn't recognize standing in front of him, two of whom were clearly Aurors. As Harry stood up one of the Aurors approached his cell and unlocked the door. He then opened it up and said,

"You're free to go Mr. Potter. Please follow us and we will process you out at the Ministry of Magic."

Harry just looked at the men and silently followed them out of the cell. As they had their backs turned Harry turned around to face Sirius and mouthed 'I'll be back to get you'. Sirius just nodded to him with a grin, while Harry went back to follow the group.

After Harry had finished being processed at the Department of Magic Law Enforcement in the Ministry of Magic, Harry was taken to a small meeting room by Minister Fudge, Dumbledore, and the new man who Harry learned was Lord Charles Greengrass. Once the door to the meeting room closed and everyone took their seats, Minister Fudge started the long overdue meeting.

"Mr. Potter-"

"That's Lord Potter-Black-Isley to you Fudge." Harry spat out.

Minister Fudge had the decency to wince before he continued.

"My apologies, Lord Potter-Black-Isley, we at the Ministry want to give you our deepest apologies for what has happened with your recent time in Azkaban. We were assured by certain parties..." he then gave a glance to Dumbledore "... that the Chamber of Secrets could only be opened by a Parslemouth, and as the only living Parslemouth in Magical Britain, surely you can see where mistakes could be made." Fudge finished with a pleading look towards Harry.

"Sure I can see where mistakes would be made," Harry said while Fudge gave a sigh of relief, "but why wasn't this all clear up at my trial? Better yet, why was I thrown in prison without a trial?"

At this point Fudge was sweating, while Dumbledore eye's were twinkling merrily and Lord Greengrass was just smirking at Fudge. Harry then continued,

"The worst part is Fudge, this isn't even the first time you sent an innocent person to Azkaban without a trial, is it?"

At the blank faces and stunned silence Harry continued onward,

"That's right Fudge, I know for a fact that Sirius Black was innocent of his charges and he was sent to Azkaban without a trial as well."

"No see here Mr. Potter," Dumbledore interrupted, "there is no possible way that Sirius Black is innocent. I know for a fact that Peter Pettigrew was killed by Black and that Black was a traitor to the light."

"Really Dumbledore?" Harry asked while looking at the Headmaster with a raised brow. "With all the time you spend looking into the minds of people around you I find it hard to believe that you of all people didn't know that Peter Pettigrew was in fact the traitor to the light."

"I assure you Mr. Pott-"

"Enough Dumbledore!" Harry yelled out while Lord Greengrass looked on with a grin. "I've had it with your interfering ways. If you don't back off soon I will have your hide when I take my seats on the Wizengamot."

"Surely you can't be serious Mr. Potter. After all, I did help you get out of Azkaban didn't I?" Dumbledore asked with a twinkle in his eye.

At this point Lord Greengrass coughed and interrupted.

"Don't you mean I got him out of Azkaban Mr. Dumbledore?"

"I have no idea what you are talking about Charles-"

"That is Lord Greengrass to you, and what I mean is how I went to the Wizengamot to get Mr. Potter released after you and Fudge had him spend almost the whole school year in there even when the attacks continued while he was gone."

Upon hearing this Harry glared at the Headmaster and Dumbledore lost the twinkle in his eye.

"I assure you Mr. Potter," Dumbledore said while turning to Harry, "I did everything in my power to get you released in a timely manner.

Harry just looked between the three of them and then sighed before saying,

"Are we done here?"

"Yes Lord Potter, I'm terribly sorry about this whole mess." Fudge replied.

"Soon Harry, but we must talk about your summer living arrangements."

"There is nothing to talk about Professor. As you know since you and Fudge sent me to Azkaban, I am considered an adult in the Wizarding World and as such while I may be required to attend Hogwarts until my 15th birthday as a citizen of England, I'm not required to tell you where I will be staying for the summer."

Dumbledore just sighed while Lord Greengrass grinned.

"Very well Mr. Potter, but I must say that I'm very disappointed in you for your choice. Your parents would have wanted you to do what's right for the Greater Good."

Harry just rolled his eyes as he expected a comment about the Greater Good and got up from the table while saying,

"It was good to have this chat gentleman, I hope that we don't ever have to do this again. Now if you will excuse me I need to go take a lot of potions to return myself back to full health." Harry then paused and looked to Charles Greengrass. "Lord Greengrass if I might have a bit of your time to talk to you separately?"

"Of course Lord Potter-Black, I believe we can even use this room." Greengrass replied while giving a significant look to Fudge.

"Y-yes of course gentlemen, take all the time you need. Come along Dumbledore we can't keep the two Lords waiting." Fudge replied while taking a seething Dumbledore out of the room.

Harry waited a few minutes before taking out his newly reacquainted wand and sending a silencing charm to the door. Once he was sure that no one could over hear their conversation Harry addressed Lord Greengrass.

"Lord Greengrass-"

"Please call me Charles."

"Charles then, what are your opinions on Fudge and Dumbledore."

Charles gave Harry a significant look as if he was studying his soul before he replied,

"I believe that they are both corrupt, but at this time solidified in their power base."

Harry just sighed before he replied,

"That's not surprising... what would it take to remove them from power?"

"It would take quite the scandal Lord Potter."

"Please call me Harry, and I guess my question is that when I turn 17 would you be interested in helping me remove at least Dumbledore from his position on the Wizengamot?"

Charles just raised an eyebrow.

"Why wait until your 17 Harry?"

"Well the way I see it Charles, right now Dumbledore and Fudge can not be replaced even with the heat that my situation must have caused."

"I agree."

"However when I turn 17, I will have two seats on the Wizengamot, both a light-sided and a dark-sided seat, and if I ally with you then I will have inroads to the remaining Neutrals."

"I think I see where you are going with this Harry," Charles replied with a grin.

"Not only this, but I know for a fact that I can bring charges on Dumbledore for attempted Line Theft of an Old Family as well as a breach of will for an Old Family. I figure that if I wait until I'm a member of the Wizengamot body it will provide enough time to gather any more material to create a case against both Fudge and Dumbledore. The way I see it, the worst thing you could do to either man would be to destroy their image and even if they maintain their positions they will forever be tarnished from the trial."

Charles smiled at the idea before responding,

"I agree with you Harry and I will work towards finding more information to help the case. With that being said, between your votes on both the light and dark sides and my voting block, we may actually have a chance when the time comes."

Soon after this comment Harry and Charles spent some time talking about less important things and then went on their respective ways.

Barbara Gordon had tears in her eyes as she was furiously packing her travel bag while thinking to herself. She had just received news that her adoptive uncle in all but blood, the Mayor of Gotham, had been killed by the Joker. Of course this reminded her of Harry, which was why she was now packing for a trip to England that she convinced her parents to allow her to take to find Harry.

I can't believe it! It's all my fault... Barbara thought. I convinced Harry to let the Joker live and now because of me the Mayor of Gotham is dead... he was like an uncle to me... and I got him killed. Why didn't I listen to Harry? I know better now... Harry was right. When I get to London I'm going to hunt done Harry and get him to help me. By the end of the summer, Batgirl will kill the Joker.

Daphne Greengrass was lying on her bed after talking to her father when he returned home from the Ministry, and she couldn't be more excited. Not only did Harry survive in Azkaban, but he thrived in it. She shuddered at the thought of a darker Harry... it was very exciting to her. While she had never told Harry, Daphne loved most of the Dark Arts. That's not to say that she got pleasure out of torturing and killing like Bellatrix Lestrange would, but she couldn't deny that she loved the feeling of power she got from learning the spells. Luckily she performed a cleansing ritual that was banned from the Ministry every six months so that her soul wouldn't be tainted by the Dark Arts. While looking over one of her Dark Arts books Daphne thought about her betrothed.

If what my Father says is true, then I may be able to start teaching Harry the Dark Arts this summer. With the power that Harry already has, imagine what he could do with the Arts? I know that Harry wants to go back to his crime fighting, but I wonder what he will do now that he has experienced Azkaban? I know that Harry will never become a monster like Voldemort, but with the way that people are pushing him it is only a matter of time before he turns dark. This thought caused Daphne to smirk. Hopefully when he turns Dark he will make his Dark Lady...

Later that night Harry was sitting at his dinner table in Potter Manor thinking about his life so far.

That's it, I have had enough! Harry thought to himself. No matter what I do I have to put up with this shit from Dumbledore and the Magical World or Batman and 'superhero' ideals from the mundane world. Well I've had enough. They want to paint me as a criminal or a dark wizard... well fine then. I'll just have to show them what a real dark wizard looks like. I may not be evil, but the light sure as hell isn't good. Maybe it's time the Wizarding World and the Mundane World got a new 'superhero'... Lets see how the world deals with a 'Shadow Phoenix'.

Author Note: While I will not be creating a new story, here Part I of A Wizard in Gotham. Part II will be called A Wizard in Gotham: Rise of the Anti-Hero. For those who have had some complaints, most of which I agree with, you will be glad to know that there will be many changes between Part I and Part II. The largest change will be that in Part I, I specifically worked to show that while powerful Harry was clearly not a god considering how much the world crapped on him. Part II of the story will focus on how all of the hardships and discrimination in Part I paved the towards both Harry and Barbara becoming Anti-Heroes instead of the typical Super Heroes that they may have been meant to be. Another difference in the second part of this story will be that Part II will start to become more indepth and focus on the relations of the characters now that they will be a little bit older (Harry and Daphne 13 with Barbara being 15). Finally for those of you who didn't like it... I am truly sorry that I killed off Ivy and Harley. I really didn't want to do it, but I needed a way to realistically send Harry over the edge without turning him evil. Ivy and Harley just happened to be victims of my plot device; May they rest in peace.
