Epiphany- Mika the Supreme Ninja.
Befriends Dobby, becomes political and used Parsel Magic. Independent Harry Potter.
Have you ever had an epiphany? A Moment whereyou realize something so profound that it changes your entire being? A Moment that made you see everything in a different light all together? A Moment so powerful that you are forced to reevaluate everything about your life?
Well Harry had one the moment as he lay in the Hospital Wing. The same way he had at the end of every fucking Year at Hogwarts, after always being attacked by Voldemort or one of his follower, only to be sent to his abusive and neglectful relatives before he was fully recovered. Only then to be shipped back to school where he would have to suffer through another "Adventure" Completely unprepared... plus he had to deal with Snape, Draco and Ron.
Honestly, Harry was tired of it. Tired of the Cycle that was his life. For once, Harry wanted control over his life. And that is exactly what he was going to get.
And so he began to plot. Plot to gain control over his life.
First, Harry knew he had to do it alone. Hermione was far too loyal to Authority figures, Ron was a Jealous Bigot who was as lazy as can be, Sirius just saw him as a replacement for his father, Remus was a Weak person who did nothing to defend Sirius, Hagrid was way too Naive and loyal to Dumbledore, and Dumbledore just did nothing but send him to the Dursleys. There was no one he could really trust, so he was by himself on this.
Second, Harry had to catch up in his Magical education. Too often, Harry had no idea of how the Magical world functioned and it had bit him in the ass each time. He needed to get a grip on how the world he was living in worked, otherwise he would just get screwed over again. This included understanding how the Ministry worked, how Gringotts functioned and the views of the Wizarding world as a whole.
Next, He needed to catch up on his magical skills. Harry knew he had gotten into the habit of pretending to be dumb with the Dursley, and his desires to keep his first friend had only strengthened that. He had to stop that, his lacking in skills had become a huge issue and with the danger he was always in, it could very likely get him killed.
He also had to learn how to Duel properly. His luck would run out one of these days. Learnign Defensive and offensive magic was a must for Him. Especially if Voldemort ever actually returned, or one of his followers attacked him later.
Now, in order for him to actually accomplish these things, Harry had to find a way to not only get away from the Dursleys, but to find a way to hide his usage of magic. He actually had a few ideas of where he could manage this.
The First was the Chamber of Secrets. Only he ( and Fawxes) could get in, it was magically protected and no one would think of looking for him so close to the school. However, he wouldn't be able to get passed the Cave in, plus he would have no to get food or other supplies to himself.
The Next place that came to mind was Diagon alley. He had seen Hermione cast spells there and not get caught, plus it would have food and other such supplies. The issue here, Harry was far too recognizable. People would see him, and it was far too crowded for him to use his cloak. He would be caught and dragged back to the Dursleys.
The last place that came to him was buying a magical house, or seeing if his family had previously own one. The Twins used magic at their house for their pranks, so he knew it would protect him from being caught. The problem there was money, Harry was sure how much he really had.
Which lead his train of thought to the subject of money. He no understanding of his funds, or how the bank worked. He hadn't even gotten a bank statement like he saw Petunia getting every month. He should look into that.
Actually, now that he thought of it. The Weasley's scrapped by on a tiny amount of money, so what he had should be more then enough for what he planned. It could get him supplies, real clothing, food, books on different subjects.
Maybe he should get a House Elf? That way he could get his supplies without getting caught... yes, that sounded like a good idea. Plus the Elf could help him with it's understanding of the Magical world. Yup, he was definitely getting an elf.
Sitting Up, Harry realized that he already had an elf on his side. Dobby.
The little guy loved Harry, was obscenely loyal to Harry and had lived with a bunch of purebloods for his entire life. It was perfect.
Smiling, Harry knew that he would soon actually have control over his life... but he would have to wait until summer. People would notice Dobby Missing from Hogwarts. Still, Harry could plan as much as he could until then. They only had a few weeks left any way.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
By the Time School was done and Harry was one his way back to the Dursley's, He had made a list of everything that he felt he needed to improve or learn about.
On the Top of that list was his eye sight and body. He was tired of having so little stamina and tired of not being able to see. So, he was going to fix that. Eating well and exercising was a must. He would have to have Dobby take him to a Muggle Library or book store. And as for his eyes, well potions were amazing... maybe there was a way to fix his eyes. He would have too look into it. They might even be able to speed up the repair to his body.
Next, Harry realized that he wanted to find a way to protect his mind. He was pretty sure Snape and Dumbledore were capable of reading Minds. It would explain a hell of a lot. Actually, it would also served to explain how Voldemort knew he had the Sorcerer's stone in First year, and how he knew he had lied.
For Fun, Harry decided that he wanted to become an Animagus. He had seen just how useful they were what with Petigrew and Sirius using them to sneak into the school and out of Azkaban. The skil was just too amazing not to at least give it a try.
Next, Harry decided that he was going to study Runes and Arithmacy. Divination was just a waste of a class and he wanted out. If he was going to study, it was going to be something useful.
Last, Harry realized that he wanted to get really good with potions. He wanted to really stick it to Snape, making it so that there was nothing the Man could do to sabotage his potions or ruin his education. Plus it would be fun for the Asshole to see Harry acing his class.
Just thinking of this made it very hard for Harry, who was in Vernon's Car, to hide his smile. He didn't want the Walrus to think he was up to something. Nor did he want the man to get passed his fear of Harry due to anger. Harry needed him afraid and, after channeling his inner prankster, he had a perfect way of doing when.
Sitting Up, Harry decided to start everything.
" Vernon, I have a proposal I think you will love."
Vernon turned to him, a mixture of Fear and Hatred in his face.
" And What is That, Boy?"
Harry leaned in slightly " Simple. You and your family will leave me alone this summer, and I wont deal with you guys like I did with Margeret." Vernon paled and sputtered, perfect " And before you think I cant, I spoke to my Minister and showed him my memories of growing up. He has allowed me to practice as much as I want, including killing or torturing you."
Vernon looked ready to piss himself " He cant do that, you cant do that..."
Harry just smiled " It is true, he also agreed that if you do anything, he will show the Non magical authorities and have you and Petunia put away for a long time..."
Vernon turned green, so Harry put the final Nail in the coffin of his wonderfully dark plan of his. " Do you know what they do to child abusers in prison Vernon... They Use them as a little bitch, raping them, beating them and more..."
Vernon actually swerved the car in fear " Please, don't... not that.. .please"
Harry just smiled at the man's terror. " If you, Petunia and Dudely Leave me alone... I will think about it. However, so much as glare at me ... and you wont like the results. Do we have a deal?"
Vernon nodded " Yes, yes we do."
Harry then laid back " Good, I expect you to tell Petunia and Dudely. Oh, and if they argue, just ask them what would you do if Dudley was placed into a Cupboard, If you forced him to slave away with almost no food, or any of the shit you did to me."
Vernon just nodded, not able to talk due to complete and utter fear.
Harry didn't notice it yet, but as he threatened and spoke to Vernon, his magic began to change. No longer was it completely light, but a cloud of darkness was creeping into it.

The moment they reached the Dursley's, Harry grabbed his trunk and Hurried to his room.
Sitting on his Bed, Harry called out " Dobby"
Like he expected, Dobby appeared in a crack.
" HARRY POTTER SIR SUMMONED DOBBY"
Cringing at the energetic Elf's loud voice, Harry raised a hand.
" Dobby, I need your help... it is extremely important that no one knows of this until I am ready, can I trust you to keep my secret?"
Dobby nodded, his ears whipping around. " Of course, Dobby will keep Harry Potter Sir's Secrets."
Harry smiled " Great Dobby, now I am going to say alot so, I need you to listen quietly."
Dobby nodded with a closed mouth.
" Okay, Now Dobby, every year I am being attacked By Voldemort and his followers. I am always getting away by pure luck, but eventually that luck is going to run out. I need to be prepared, but i cant practice Magic outside of school... so I need your help. "
Dobby tipped his head " How can Dobby Help Harry Potter Sir?"
Smiling, Harry responded " Well, I cant leave here the normal way, I am too well known to do that. So, I need you to telaport me to somewhere safe, secure and secret. The Chamber of Secrets."
Dobby's eyes got widened " But that isn't Safe Harry Potter Sir"
Harry Shook his head " It is now, I killed the Basilisk inside, so it is just going to be me castings spells and brewing potions for several hours. When I am here, I will be reading and getting into Shape. You will be getting me good food, books and such. Actually, If i allow It, can you get into My Vault and get me money?"
Dobby tipped his head " Vault? Harry Potter has many Vaults, Which one? And Yes, I would need to be your Elf to do that"
It was Harry's turn to tip his head " Vaults? Well that is another thing to take care of... I need you to set me up an appointment with the Goblins and take me their under my cloak so that I can check... and are you willing to become my Elf? I thought you loved freedom?"
Dobby smiled " Dobby Loves Harry Potter sir, you are nice to me, you wouldn't hurt me like the Malfoy's and you... you are a Nice Wizard that Dobby would be honored Serving."
Smiling, Harry nodded " Alright Dobby, how do we bond?"
Dobby grabbed Harry's hand, causing both to Glow " We are bonded Harry Potter Sir. Now, what do you want me to do first?"
" First I need you to grab my books from each year then take me to the Chamber of Secrets... then I need you to go to Gringotts to set up the appointment... also, if you ever have an idea, feel free to share it. You know the Magical world much better then I do."
Dobby leaped and gave Harry a powerful Hug around his legs. " Harry Potter sir is such a nice Wizard."
The the excited Elf Snapped his fingers, summoning all of Harry's books and such, then he offered his hand to Harry.
Chuckling, Harry grabbed Dobby's hand and with a crack... they were gone.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Harry had half expected the Chamber to smell far worse what with a massive Serpent corpse rotting away. However, it smelt no different then last time... actually it smelt better, less pungent. The Basilisk corpse was in perfect condition.
"Why is the Basilisk still in such good condition?"
Dobby spoke up here " Magical Creatures decay slower, especially one so powerful as a Basilisk. Mr Harry Potter Sir, have you thought of having the Basilisk Harvested. You did kill it, so it belongs to you by rights of conquest."
Harry turned to the Elf " What would I get out of that?"
Dobby looked a tad nervous, probably expecting punishment out of Habit.
" Well, With a Basilisk this big... you could get several Million Galleons Sir"
Harry choked for a second... then a wonderful thought occured to him " Dobby, when you go to Gringotts, Ask if they could harvest this... and if they would make a Vault for me under a fake name to place the money from the harvesting... we could use that money for my stuff. People are more then likely watching my Vaults."
Dobby nodded " Oh yes Mr. Harry Potter Sir. It is not uncommon for Well known Wizards to have accounts under different names."
Harry smiled at the Elf. " Thank you Dobby... you can go now. I need to practice with my school spells... oh and if you have time, can you nick me books on Magical defense, dueling and Runes or any other books you think will be helpful?" With a nod and a smile, Dobby cracked away to the bank.
Turning to his books, Harry picked up his first Year Standard Book of Spells and cracked it open. It was time to relearn.
""""
By the Time Dobby returned, Harry had already finished going through all of his First Year spells as there were less then thirty of them. He knew that most would be worthless in a fight, but they were the basis for all spells. He wanted to excel in school and magic. Plus it was fun to actually give his full effort for once.
Harry had also started brewing, he was shocked to find that without Snape there, he was actually pretty damn good at potions. Potions was very similar in Nature to Cooking, which he was a freaking pro at due to years of practice. Harry couldn't wait to show Snape this, it would be so fun to see the man turn purple with fustration.
Hearing Dobby's crack, a sweaty Harry smiled " Hey Dobby, how did everything go" Harry could see Dobby hold a large stack of books, so Harry moved forward and helped the elf out.
" Thank you Harry Potter Sir... and It went well for Dobby sir. Harry Potter Sir has an appointment in three days with the Head of Gringotts who wishes to discuss the Basilisk and more. And For the Books, Dobby got more then what Harry Potter Sir asked for. Books on Dueling, defense, offense, Auror Spells, Runes, Occulemency, Magical Law and Healing Magic. Dobby Hopes that is okay"
The elf shrunk into himself a little, making Harry sigh. " I am very glad you did all of this Dobby, it is a huge help. Thank you very much."
Dobby's smile would have out shined the sun at this point.
" DOBBY IS VERY HAPPY TO HELP HIS HARRY POTTER SIR"
Rolling his eyes a little, Harry smiled.
Everything was coming together... for the first time in his life... the Future looked bright.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
