This is a rewritten version of my story Harry Potter and his very Black plan. Hope this one is better written than the last version. Thank you for those that gave me some writing and grammar tips. I have added some things and changed a few other things here and there. Still English is not my first language and I'm self-taught at that.
But I have one question, would you like the pairing to stay the same as in the original story or would you rather it be a Hermione/Harry endgame?
There's a poll on my profile in which you may chose your preferred pairing for Harry.
Chapter one:
Harry sat down on his bed in the smallest bedroom of Number 4, Privet Drive. He was angry, sad and so much more he could barely stop himself from either punching the wall or start crying. Not that either option would be a good idea in this house. The Dursley's woudn't take kindly to him making a nuisance of himself.
Sirius, his last chance to get away from the Dursley's- for a family, was dead. Murdered by his cousin Bellatrix Lestrange while trying to help him, Harry bloody Potter. He shouldn't have gone to the Ministry. He should have know better. Why didn't he know better? Sirius truly gone now.
Harry knew that Sirius wouldn't blame him but he blamed himself. He should have known better than to trust his dreams, Kreacher and even Dumbledore whom had let him down time and time again.
The only adult who was willing to put him first was dead and Harry didn't know what to do. Sirius had meant so much to Harry. The only true connection to his parents, his only chance to escape the Dursley house and perhaps a father. Sirius was family and Harry did not have much of those. Not that he wanted anyway.
His friends barely sent him any letters while he was at the Dursleys. Harry got some letters from Hermione and a short one from Ron but once again it seemed like they were forbidden from putting any important information in their letters. He missed his friends. He really could have used some cheering up.
He had made some new friends last school year which had been nice. Luna and Neville were a few of the good ones. They were very brave for coming with him to save Sirius and for fighting so hard against the Death-Eaters at the Ministry of Magic. As was Ginny, she was a fierce one and Harry now got why her brothers were kinda afraid of her. He was glad that they were becoming friends and that her crush seemed to be gone. That was uncomfortable for the both of them really. That poor butter dish...
Still, no one seemed to understand how much he needed some positive contact after the disaster of a year he had.
Sirius had understood him. Harry missed him so much he didn't know what to do with himself. He was back at a house he wasn't wanted and worst of all- Voldemort is back in the open in all his snake-like glory, Magical Britain was pro Boy-Who-Lived again in the usual sickening way, Dumbledore expects him to kill Voldemort because a drunk teacher made a Prophecy that both the Headmaster and Dark Lord believed in.
And really, why hadn't he heard the damn thing before now? Why would anyone think that was a good moment to tell him?
Harry didn't want to kill anyone. Not even the monster that had killed his parents and ruined his life. Voldemort should never have been his problem to deal with to begin with. What was Fate thinking?
Why did the adults seem to expect him to fix everything? Harry really wondered what the Ministry could have done if they had been actually competent. Perhaps they could have sent some Dementors after Voldemort. They did it to him after all when he was 15. Harry really didn't think that someone as dark as Voldermort could cast a Patronus. So much suffering could have been avoided if only the adults had done something...
Anything really.
And Harry didn't mean his parents. They were so young when they died. Barely any older than Harry was now. Where were the adults in their lives? Even now it seemed the cycle continued. People barely out of Hogwarts joined the Order. Which was brave of course and Harry wished he could join them too but no, Dumbledore had different plans for him. Or really the same plans as usual even though Voldemort is out is the open and truly starting his plans for the Wizarding World.
Meanwhile Harry is living with his magic hating relatives without a plan on how he's gonna survive his teens.
He didn't know what he could do against two adult wizards who have had decades of experience while he wasn't even finished with school but the one thing he did know, he won't be able to defeat Voldemort with 'the power of love' as Dumbledore told him. Really, was he supposed to hug Voldemort to death? Maybe it was some kind of a euphemism for strangeling the Dark Lord? No, knowing Professor Dumbledore he meant actual love.
Harry respected the Headmaster very much but he truly was a bit barmy.
He needed a plan of action and he needed it yesterday. But how could he do anything while he was stuck at the Dursley's? Dumbledore said it was the safest here for him and Dumbledore always knows best. You only have to look at Harry's last years in Hogwarts to know that.
Wait a minute...
Dumbledore knows best? Since when?! Why does Harry have to stay with people who hate him while there was a house in his name that was way safer for Harry?
Sirius had made him his Heir and so Harry was now the owner of all what the Black family owns. He could go the the Black town house! While the Fidelius has fallen, the Black wards should still be strong. Sirius would want him to get away from his relatives.
Perhaps there he could practise some spells and just train his arse of as much as possible. If he could use his wand at least. That was an important detail. He wouldn't want to stand trial again this summer for underage magic.
It would be perfect. He would have access to one of the biggest private family libraries in the country and perhaps could he even do magic there if he could find a wand without a trace! Now how could he get there without the Order stopping him and sending him back?
The Dursleys could not know what he was planning. They might not want him but they would stop him from running away. If only out of fear for what the rest of the 'freaks' would do to them for losing him. And he should definitely avoid the Order. It was time to do something he hadn't done in a long time.
Make a plan.
Hermione would be so proud of him.
Do you guys like it? Should I continue with rewriting this story? Also, are any of you getting e-mail notifications from a story you follow? I haven't gotten them for a few months now.
Thanks for reading!
Oh and I own nothing but my original characters.
