Shocking Revelations

Harry walked into the Great Hall for breakfast the next morning. As usual, he was joined by Fred, George, Ginny, Lee, Neville and Dean. Luna decided to join them, so she could be with Neville. Then a number of owls began delivering the Daily Prophet to their owners, Hedwig included, who dropped it in front of Harry. Harry picked it up and began reading the headline.

"What the...?" said Harry, outraged.

The article read:

Harry Potter, The-Boy-Who-Lived, To Be Married

by Rita Skeeter

This reporter has learned that the saviour of the wizarding world, Harry Potter, is due to get married to fellow fourth year Hogwarts student, Pansy Parkinson. She has stated that even though Harry has been denying those, she is certain that Harry knows that they have a bright future ahead. Ronald Weasley and Hermione Granger even clarified that Harry is happy with that decision. Susan Bones and Hannah Abbott have stated that this is the only way to punish Harry for his actions that happened on Halloween. Hannah even stated that she and Neville Longbottom were supposed to be together, and that Luna Lovegood, daughter of Xenophilius Lovegood, is out to corrupt Mr. Longbottom. Hermione Granger even clarified that the Durmstrang champion, Viktor Krum is in love with her.

When asked why Harry is being punished by marrying Pansy Parkinson, Susan Bones, Hannah Abbott and Megan Jones mentioned that attention seekers like Harry deserve it, so as to teach Harry a lesson for using his celebrity status to meet his own selfish needs. The three Hufflepuffs also stated that Harry even corrupted Cedric Diggory, the true Hogwarts champion, even though he has denied those rumours. Susan even said that Harry enjoys corrupting anybody to force them to take pity on him.

Ronald Weasley and Draco Malfoy have told the Daily Prophet that Harry has been giving Miss Gabrielle Delacour love potions, just so he could avoid marrying Pansy. There have also been unconfirmed rumours that Harry has also corrupted Gabrielle's sister Fleur, the Beauxbatons champion. Both have denied comment, claiming they didn't have any. Ronald Weasley has even stated that his sister, Ginevra has been fraternizing with the Durmstrang champion, Viktor Krum. (continued on page 6)

To say Harry was mad would be an understatement. He was beyond furious that that Skeeter bitch printed, yet another false article about him. Professor Dumbledore acted surprised, as he knew that, as long as Harry didn't go to Gringotts, his plan for the Greater Good was bound to work. Professor McGonagall wasn't pleased to read the article, knowing it was all lies. Professor Snape was both angry and surprised, but mostly angry when he read the article.

"So that's why Miss Parkinson sat by Mr. Potter in potions from the first task until the Yule Ball," Snape deduced. "She just wants to marry him for his fame, wealth and... to punish him?!"

"This also means that Mr. Weasley and his group of Harry-hating students aren't too far from the castle!" guessed Professor McGonagall. "They're pretty much going to be expelled once they've been caught!"

"Amelia is going to be even more enraged when she reads this," said Professor Sprout, who was shuddering, knowing that Amelia's temper isn't what anybody would want to see, especially at the receiving end. "Susan is already in hot water, and she'll be facing her aunt's wrath once she gets caught!"

Harry was shaking with rage. He knew that something needed to be done about this. Fred, George and Ginny got up to head back to Gryffindor Tower, so they could write to their mother about Rita's most recent article. Gabby received some nasty glares from the other Beauxbatons students, forcing her to leave. Fleur, Kassidy and Kassandra also got up and followed Gabby. Neville also started walking back to Gryffindor Tower, knowing his grandmother needed to be informed as well. Daphne, Astoria and Tracey were also mad, knowing Pansy's 'real' intentions.

"Parkinson just sunk to an all-time low," said Daphne. "Helping to ruin Harry's reputation."

"I'd like to show that swamp donkey a few things," said Astoria. "I'd also being willing to do the same thing to Malfoy!"

"Weasley and his group of Harry-Haters continue to act like cowards." said Tracey.

Meanwhile, a certain black dog was making his way into an abandoned shack ten miles from Hogwarts, carrying a copy of The Daily Prophet in his mouth. This black dog transformed into Sirius Black. He found a copy that some other wizard tossed. Sirius read the headline, with his eyes widening in disbelief at what it said.

"What the hell," said Sirius, outraged. "How could Ron and Hermione do this to Harry?"

Sirius became more and more furious, especially when he read that Harry was supposedly due to marry Pansy Parkinson. Sirius also saw that Amelia's niece, Susan even fed Rita some lies about Harry. That was going to cause even more chaos, since he knew the Bones and Potter families have been allies for the last three centuries. Sirius also shuddered to imagine how embarrassed Amelia was bound to be once she found out.

Meanwhile, back at Hogwarts, Harry was sitting by his favourite spot by the Black Lake. He was thinking long and hard about what to do to bring Ron and his group of Harry-Haters (as well as Rita Skeeter) to justice. Gabby and Fleur came walking by and gave Harry a hug. This helped Harry calm down.

"Thank you," he said gratefully. "I needed that!"

"You're welcome, Harry." said Fleur and Gabby in unison.

"I'm just thinking on what all needs to be done to get back at all the bad guys and bring them to justice." said Harry.

"Maybe we ought to get some parchment, ink and quills to write them down." suggested Gabby.

"Great idea, Gabby!" said Fleur, intrigued by the idea.

So Gabby got up and called for Winky, who apparated her to her and Fleur's room in the Beauxbatons carriage. Fleur took that opportunity to tell Harry something.

"Today is Gabby's fourteenth birthday!" she informed.

"Really?" said Harry, surprised. "I'll need to wish her a happy birthday when she gets back!"

Half a minute later, Winky returned with Gabby, who had managed to get some parchment, along with some quills and a few bottles of ink.

"Happy Birthday, Gabby!" said Harry.

"Oh, thank you, Harry!" said Gabby as she gave Harry a great big hug, followed by a kiss on his cheek, making Harry blush.

So Harry, Fleur and Gabby spent some time writing down some ideas on how to get back at Harry's tormentors. Once they finished, Fleur cast the gemino charm, so she could make some copies, then she went to find Kassidy and Kassandra to hand some copies to them. Then Fleur instructed them to hand copies to Harry's real friends. Once that was finished, Fleur returned to where Harry's favourite spot by the Black Lake was.

"Well, now I ought to go to Gringotts," said Harry. "To take care of business. If you two want to tag along, you can!"

"Okay!" said Fleur and Gabby in unison.

"Dobby! Winky!" Harry called.

"Does Harry Potter need something done?" they asked simultaneously.

"Could you apparate us to Gringotts," said Harry. "Dobby can apparate me, while Winky can apparate Gabby and Fleur, if that's okay!"

"Of course, Harry Potter sir." said Dobby and Winky in unison.

So they apparated to the entrance to Gringotts at Diagon Alley. Professors McGonagall, Flitwick, Sprout and Snape were watching that happen, with grins on their faces.

"Good luck, Mr. Potter!" They said in unison.

So they went to patrol the castle and ground withe other teachers and staff, trying to find any leads on where Ron and his group of Harry-Haters were hiding.

Harry, Fleur, Gabby, Dobby and Winky apparated to the front door of Gringotts and walked in, where they were greeted by Bill Weasley.

"Ah, there you are, Harry," said Bill. "We're glad you made it!"

"Same here," said Harry. "I didn't get to actually read that notification letter, because Professor Dumbledore confiscated it, claiming it was for his so-called Greater Good!"

"Ragnok won't be too happy about that," said Bill, showing Harry and company to Ragnok's office. "Good luck, Harry!"

"Thanks, Bill," said Harry. "Sorry about the inconvenience!"

"Don't worry," assured Bill. "It wasn't your fault!"

Harry and Gabby walked towards Ragnok's office. Fleur and Bill started looking each other in the eye. All of a sudden, they began laughing in a flirtatious manner. Bill introduced himself, as did Fleur.

"I... I w-was j-j-just starting my... my lunch break," said Bill nervously. "W-w-would you... like to... um..."

"O-on a d-date?" asked Fleur.

"Y-yes," said Bill. "W-would y-you like t-to g-go on a d-date?"

"I w-would l-love to!" said Fleur.

Meanwhile, Harry and Gabby walked into Ragnok's office.

"Ah, Mr. Potter," said Ragnok. "We've been expecting you. Did you ever read the notification letters?"

"I never got to," Harry sheepishly admitted. "I would have, if I had gotten any of the other ones. Shortly after Bill handed me the most recent copy, Professor Dumbledore confiscated that, claiming it was for The Greater Good."

Ragnok was furious, he couldn't believe what he had been told. How dare Albus Dumbledore keep all of Harry's mail.

"I KNEW IT!" yelled Ragnok as he pounded the desk with his fist. "Albus, is in... so... much... trouble!"

"Now I know why Albus wanted to keep me under his thumb," Harry realized. "He's never been the grandfather figure he claimed to be."

"He's also been keeping your inheritance from you," stated Ragnok. "We've been sending you notifications since your eleventh birthday."

"That two-timing old coot," growled Harry. "I can't... believe this!"

"He's going to be thrown in for a loop," said Ragnok as he handed a silver dagger to Harry. "You'll need to slice your palm with this, and allow seven drops of blood to drip into this goblet!"

"Okay," said Harry. "Would you call me Harry?"

"Of course," said Ragnok. "As long you call me Ragnok."

So Harry sliced his palm and allowed seven drops of his blood to drip into a silver goblet. As soon as that was done, Ragnok took the goblet and poured it onto a piece of parchment, which allowed the wax seal to melt away. Then Ragnok handed it to Harry, who started reading it, which said:

The last will and testament of Lily and James Potter,

We leave our family vault to our son, Harry James Potter. It contains 300 million galleons, the family ring which will let everyone know who the head of the most ancient and most noble house of Potter is. The vault also contains some heirlooms, like a necklace that will act as a portkey and take whoever is wearing it to Potter Manor. We also owned a portion of The Daily Prophet, so Harry will be able to take ownership of those the head of the most ancient and most noble house of Potter will grant Harry an exemption from the restriction of underage magic.

I, Lily J. Potter (nee Evans), have placed some candidates to be Harry's guardians that follow in this order:

1. Sirius Orion Black (James' best friend and Harry's godfather).

2. Frank and Alice Longbottom (friends of the family and Harry's godmother).

3. Minerva McGonagall (James' godmother).

4. Arthur and Molly Weasley (friends of the family).

5. Amelia Bones (friend of the family).

Under NO, and we mean NO circumstances is Harry to be placed with Vernon and Petunia Dursley (nee Evans). They hate magic, and they refer to magic as 'funny business,' and they also label our kind as 'freaks.'

Contrary to what the wizarding world may believe, Sirius Black would never betray us. The one who did that was Peter Pettigrew, he was the secret keeper.

If Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore see's this, be warned that he isn't trustworthy. He's a master manipulator, and he is bound to seal this will and ignore our wishes, and then he'll put Harry into the care of the magic-despising Dursleys. He's also known to blackmail anybody who he see's as a threat to his plans.

Signed,

Lily and James Potter

October 10, 1981

Witnesses signed,

Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore

Once Harry finished reading the will, he was furious that Professor Dumbledore went to great lengths to keep Harry under his control. Gabby held one of his hands in a comforting manner to help him relax. Ragnok also got out some other documents' and handed them to Harry.

"Harry," said Ragnok. "These papers here are supposedly marriage contracts. I'd like you to look them over, to see if they're also counterfeit."

Harry and Gabby looked over one, and Harry's eyes widened in disbelief when he looked over the first one. It showed that he was apparently under marriage to Pansy. He was outraged further when he saw all the other signatures of Ron and his group of Harry-Haters. Ron and Hermione having also signed on what was supposedly master or mistress lines, Harry also saw Susan's name on them. This also told Harry that Ron and his group of Harry-Haters intended to enslave him for eternity. Harry looked over another one and saw that that one had one where Ginny was also going to be enslaved as well. Harry's 'name' was also signed to make look like he has given permission. Harry's so-called marriage contract also 'gave' permission for his tormentors to take his family heirlooms. Even Gabby was mad at what the documents were. The last two contracts showed that Harry apparently allowed Gabby and Fleur respectively to be, to Harry's and Gabby's horror, sex slaves.

"How could they do this?" wondered Gabby. "And make it look like you have given permission?"

"Those guys are in too deep as it is." said Harry.

"And for Fleur to go through that, too?" said Gabby. "We need to bring those people to justice!"

"We also did a blood test on your supposed signature, Harry," informed Ragnok. "And it turns out that Miss Pansy Parkinson was the one who forged your signature."

"So she was the one who came up with that idea," said an outraged Harry. "But how did these fake documents end up in my family vault?"

Harry's answer came as soon as a knock on the door was heard. Ragnok told whoever it was to come in, and Griphook walked in with another goblin, who was terrified at what all was going on.

"Well, Ragnok," said Griphook. "Sharpclaw here has been found having assisted with those fake documents and putting them into the Potter vault."

"Why did you do so?" asked Ragnok. "We call that treason within the goblins of Gringotts!"

"Well, Mr. Lucius Malfoy and Miss Dolores Umbridge told me that Mr. Potter didn't want to find out about his inheritance." said Sharpclaw, terrified.

"That was all a lie," said Ragnok. "Wait... did you say that those fake documents were delivered here by Lucius Malfoy and Dolores Umbridge?"

"Y-yes," said Sharpclaw. "Sometime around Christmas was when they were delivered here!"

Ragnok did some fingerprint scanning on the fake documents and it, indeed, showed the fingerprints of Lucius Malfoy and Dolores Umbridge, along with the fingerprints of Ron and all of his group of Harry-Haters. Then he used some sort of magic to make sure those fingerprints stayed on there, that way the ones involved would be able to be brought to justice easier.

"Sharpclaw," said Ragnok. "I'm very disappointed in you for assisting those people. You are to spend two weeks in a Gringotts holding cell, is that clear?"

"Yes," said Sharpclaw. "I can't believe I was coaxed into it. I accept my punishment."

So two bigger goblins, who appeared to be guards, came in and took Sharpclaw away to a holding cell, where he was to serve his punishment.

"Here's another piece of parchment, Harry," said Ragnok. "Which also seems to be Albus' doing more than likely?"

Harry took and read it, which read:

With permission from Harry Potter by his magical guardian, the money here is taken from the Potter vault and placed with these wizards as part of The Greater Good.

To Albus Dumbledore: 150,000 galleons for making sure Harry remains as ignorant as possible.

To Cornelius Fudge: 100,000 galleons for making sure Harry stayed in first place for the tournament.

To Ludo Bagman: 125,000 galleons to make sure Harry stayed in first place in the Triwizard Tournament, plus additional pay to be debt free.

To Mundungus Fletcher: 100,000 galleons for spying on Harry and reporting information back to Albus about what Harry could be doing.

To Barty Crouch Sr: 75,000 galleons for making sure Harry has to compete, regardless of the rules, and also making sure Harry stays in first place.

To Barty Crouch Jr: 125,000 galleons for making sure Harry comes up with strategies, as well as keeping him from finding out about the tasks itself, and brewing up polyjuice potions and impersonating Alastor Moody, and to make sure Harry touches the Triwizard cup first, so he can fulfill his destiny.

Once Harry finished reading, he was even more furious. He now realized what Dumbledore's plan was all along. Dumbledore had been intending to use him as a weapon, and bribing other wizards to help him out with his plan.

"Ragnok, I'd like all the money stolen from my vault to be returned," said Harry. "And could you make some copies?"

"Of course, Harry," said Ragnok.

"Maybe some of the copies should be sent to the French Ministry of Magic," suggested Gabby. "My dad works there."

"We'll get that done, too, Miss Delacour." assured Ragnok.

Then, Harry was escorted into another room in Gringotts, so he can get the magical blocks removed. The goblins in charge also found a soul fragment where his scar was, which they were also able to remove successfully.

An hour later, Harry woke up, feeling even more powerful than before. His occlumency was even stronger, allowing him to keep the shields up effortlessly. The magical blocks removals also allowed Harry to grow taller, to a height of 6'3" and this also allowed him to bulk up in muscle. Before meeting up with Gabby, Harry was stopped by Ragnok, who handed Harry his family ring. Harry put it on, and it glowed, accepting him as the head of the most ancient and most noble house of Potter.

"Harry," said Ragnok. "We also found out about how you were forced to compete in the Triwizard Tournament."

"Yeah," said Harry. "I was told I had no choice to compete as a champion, even though I never entered willingly."

"And that's where some good news comes into effect," explained Ragnok. "It also allowed you to become emancipated. Also, the magical binding contract also won't work for those who never entered his or her name willingly."

"Wow," said Harry with relief in his voice. "This also proves that this was all a scheme to use me as some sort of weapon."

"It sure looks like it," said Ragnok. "You can also tell Albus Dumbledork that you withdraw, and whoever submitted your name will be thrown in for a nasty loop!"

"Wow, thanks for all the information, Ragnok," said Harry. "I'll make sure Dumbledork knows what will come to him!"

So Harry left and walked back into the lobby, where Gabby was waiting for him. She was surprised to see Harry more powerful than ever. By the time the two teens left Gringotts, it was already around lunch time. They met up with Fleur and Bill, who had finished their first date.

"Wow, Harry," said Bill. "You're already taller than Ron. How did your business at Gringotts go?"

"Good," said Harry. "Professor Dumbledore will be thrown in for a loop. He's been keeping my inheritance from me, stealing from my family vault to pay several others for me being forced to compete in the tournament."

"That's bad news," said Bill. "When and if he ever gets arrested, one of the crimes Dumbledore will be charged with is Line Theft."

"And look at these contracts," said Harry, handing Bill and Fleur a copy of each 'marriage contract.' "They're supposedly marriage contracts."

"Ron is involved with the counterfeit contracts," said Bill, outraged. "In that case, it's called Attempted Line Theft. Mum and dad didn't raise Ron this way."

"How could they do this," asked Fleur. "To make it look like Harry has given 'permission' for me and Gabby to be sex slaves?! Mum and dad will need to be informed of this!"

"Don't worry, Fleur," assured Gabby. "Ragnok has already taken care of that!"

"Okay," said Fleur with relief in her voice. "This is just terrible."

"After lunch, Gabby and I will go to the Ministry of Magic," said Harry. "So Madam Bones will get a copy of each counterfeit contract."

"Susan is pretty much history," said Bill. "I'm pretty certain Amelia taught her better than that."

"As long as Susan is still the scion of House Bones," stated Harry. "Then I'm going to end my alliance. Susan doesn't deserve any help from me anymore."

So Harry, Gabby and Fleur said goodbye to Bill, who headed back to Gringotts to continue his shift. Harry found a restaurant in Muggle London, so they went in for some lunch. Fleur told Harry and Gabby about the date with Bill. When Fleur left to go use the restroom, Harry took a chance to ask Gabrielle something.

"Would Miss Gabrielle Delacour like honour of being my girlfriend?" asked Harry.

"Yes, Harry," said Gabby, with her eyes widening in surprise. "I certainly would like that honour!"

So Harry and Gabby started holding hands. When Fleur made it back to the table, she saw Harry holding hands with her sister. Fleur immediately knew what had happened.

"Congratulations, Harry and Gabby," said Fleur with approval. "I was wondering when this moment was going to happen!"

"Well, I thought today would've been the right time," said Harry. "I wanted to give Gabby one of the best presents ever!"

"You and Gabby sure do make a great couple, Harry!" said Fleur.

Soon, lunch was over, so Harry, Gabby and Fleur paid for their meals, and started walking back to The Leaky Cauldron. Harry called for Dobby and Winky, where Winky decided to escort Fleur back to Hogwarts, since Fleur wanted Harry and Gabby to have some time to themselves. Harry asked Dobby to take Gabby and himself to the Ministry of Magic, so they could talk to Madam Bones. Then, Harry stopped an employee, who had dark skin.

"Excuse me," said Harry. "Do you know where the Department of Magical Law Enforcement is located?"

"Yes I do, Mr. Potter," said the man, who managed to spot the barely visible scar. "I'm Kingsley Shacklebolt, if you'd follow me, I'll show you. You're both here to talk to Madam Bones, I presume!"

"Yes sir," said Harry. "To show her these counterfeit contracts!"

He showed one to Kingsley, who gasped in shock, seeing that Amelia's niece was also involved. This made Kingsley shudder a bit, knowing what was bound to happen once Amelia saw it. So Harry and Gabby followed Kingsley to Amelia's office. He explained to them that the Department of Magical Law Enforcement was located on the second floor. They eventually made it to Madam Bones office, where Kingsley wished them good luck. Harry knocked on the door, then a woman with red-hair turning gray opened the door. She was wearing black ministry robes, and she also had a monocle over one eye. She also saw Harry's scar, since it was still somewhat visible.

"Hello, Mr. Potter," she greeted. "What may I do for you?"

"Some important business," stated Harry. "I went to Gringotts earlier today, and it turns out that there are a number of people who have committed crimes against the most ancient and most noble house of Potter!"

"Oh okay," said Amelia. "Come on in!"

So she showed Harry and Gabby into her office and offered them a seat. Once Harry and Gabby took a seat, Amelia began asking them questions.

"What kind of crimes have been committed against you, Mr. Potter?" Amelia asked.

"These contracts here," said Harry as he handed a copy of each counterfeit contract to Amelia. "They are apparently marriage contracts, and a number of fourth year students signed their names, with one of them forging my name!"

Amelia looked over the fake contracts, when she read her niece's name, she was beyond furious. How could Susan do this to Harry, considering that he's a member of an allied house.

"HOW COULD SUSAN DO THIS?" yelled Amelia as she pounded a fist into her desk. "DIDN'T I MAKE IT CLEAR NOT TO ACT HOSTILE TOWARD ANY ALLIES?"

This made Harry and Gabby jump a bit. Amelia's yelling really was pretty fierce, as Bill and Kingsley stated. Amelia saw the two teens jump.

"I'm not mad at either of you," she assured. "I'm just outraged that Susan had been doing alot more than I thought."

"She was even among those brewing up love potions," said Harry. "Those fake marriage contracts were to have me marry Pansy Parkinson, and then enslave me for eternity. Pansy was even the one who forged my signature, Ragnok even did a blood test."

"And one of those contracts was a plan for me to become a sex slave," stated Gabby. "And another one to make my sister Fleur be come one as well."

"Geez, this is all... new information," said Amelia. "I never would've thought Susan would join in on this! I was even informed that she and this group of Harry-Haters have started skipping classes and continuing what they've been doing."

"Yes, they have," said Harry, who handed Amelia a piece of parchment. "And this is what Professor Dumbledore has been planning all this time!"

Amelia took it and read it. She couldn't believe Albus would steal from the Potters' vault. She also couldn't believe that Cornelius was involved. Amelia's eyes widened in shock when she saw that Barty Crouch Jr's name was even on there. He supposedly died in Azkaban, so how could he be alive? Something truly wasn't right.

"Thank you, very much for all of this information," said Amelia. "I will get all of this taken care of."

"And one more thing," said Harry. "If Susan is still the scion of House Bones, then I'm probably going to break the alliance. Susan doesn't deserve any help from me!"

Amelia paled at that, knowing that the alliance of House Potter and House Bones had been going for the last three hundred years.

"Please, Mr. Potter," begged Amelia. "Don't end the alliance. Is there anything I can do?"

"Well," said Harry. "If she gets kicked out, then I'll keep the alliance going."

"I understand," said Amelia. "I did make it clear that she was to treat you well. To go against that, oooooh... she's going to be in soooo much trouble once she's caught. And Miss Delacour, I'll inform the French Ministry of the scheme involving you and your sister, Fleur."

"Thank you, Madam Bones," said Gabby. "It's time those people face the consequences!"

"And Madam Bones," said Harry. "If, at all possible, could you try to get a trial set for Sirius Black? You'll be surprised that he never even had one, and that's pretty suspicious!"

"Of course," said Amelia. "It does look suspicious. I'll do whatever I can!"

"Thank you, Madam Bones!" said Harry.

So he and Gabby left Amelia's office, so she could get to work. Then, Harry called for Dobby and asked him to apparate them to the Leaky Cauldron, so Harry and Gabby can look for a reliable reporter for the Daily Prophet in Diagon Alley. One reporter, whose name is Boris Milton, decided to interview Harry. He even assured Harry that he was more interested in the truth, unlike Rita Skeeter. Gabby even answered some of the questions asked. Harry even disclosed his life with the Dursleys, about what Professor Dumbledore had been doing, about how he was forced to compete in the Triwizard Tournament, about how his so-called best friends betrayed him, and the crimes committed against him. Once they were finished, Harry and Gabrielle walked out of the Daily Prophet main office, and out into the streets of Diagon Alley, hand in hand.

To be continued!

Author's note 2: Sorry for the long wait. Updates for this story might not be as frequent, that way, I can think long and hard about what should be in the other chapters, since the end of this chapter is the start of Harry's revenge to get back at his tormentors and make them realize the error of their actions the hard way. But, I did start on some more Harry Potter fanfic stories. Hopefully, that will tide you all over until my next chapter for this story comes out.

One of them, which will be the start of my "Harry in Hufflepuff" story series and where Harry is paired with Susan Bones, with the first one called "Harry Potter And The Solution Of Immortality." That one is based on the first book, but I decided to come up with a title similar to Harry Potter And The Philosopher's Stone.

And a second one, where Harry is paired with an OC. That one already has some chapters finished, and it's called "Harry Potter And His Hidden Power." I won't reveal the OC's name for that story here, just so there aren't any spoilers.
