Chapter One
Dumbledore was trying to meddle in Harry's life again and to say he did not appreciate it would be an understatement. After good ol' Dumbles decided not to send Harry to live with Sirius like his parents will said Harry got angry, then after he refused to even alert the public of his innocence and the rat's guilt Harry Potter lost it. He didn't lose it in the typical sense of anger, he didn't yell or break things. However, he decided to quietly plot against the man who has been actively working to ruin his life since he was an infant.
When his name came out of the Goblet of Fire in fourth year and the headmaster did nothing to protect him, a minor who cannot legally sign a contract it only confirmed his suspicions that the old coot did not care what happened to his "boy-who-lived", his precious "saviour of the wizarding world". The only thing Dumbledore cared about was keeping Harry isolated and begging for his help, however he wouldn't do that anymore. When Ron abandoned him, it was like he could feel the old wizard smirking happily about it under his fake sympathy and strangely twinkling eyes, and when Hermione didn't, he also felt the man's disappointment. Harry swore for sure after that bitch Rita Skeeter wrote that horrid article about Hermione and him, she would distance herself from him too just like the headmaster wanted, but instead she stuck by him and just gave deadly glares and stuck up her nose at people her whispered nasty things about them. That was when he decided he could trust Hermione enough to bring her into his first plot against Dumbledore, declaring Sirius' innocence to the wizarding world and fulfilling his parents final wish of going to live with him.
Later that year when Hermione caught Rita Skeeter as an unregistered animangus beetle and trapped her in a jar turned out to be a prime opportunity for them. With a touch of torture (being kept in a glass magically sealed jar for 3 months in her beetle form was not a good time), blackmail, and bribery of an exclusive career changing article with testimony from the boy-who-lived under veritasserum she was convinced to write any article they deemed worth her time for the foreseeable future. Harry took the potion while Hermione stood by his side to make sure that the bitchy beetle got his words exact with her magic quill and did not twist them somehow and then they told her the story of his god fathers' innocence being careful to distract her so much with the story of how they found out she didn't even think to question why Albus hadn't seen to proving the man guilt free himself. They couldn't show their entire hand, they did not want the headmaster to know they were actively working against him.
Rita did not twist any of his words and printed the article exactly as he had wanted, Sirius was now a free man and with a bit more work he would soon be living with him. Harry and Hedwig had a special relationship, he wasn't sure why, but it was like she always understood what he was feeling and thinking. Next Hogsmeade trip he made sure to think that he wished for her to fly after him, act like she was hunting and swoop down to meet him behind the Shrieking Shack. Behind a tree under his invisibility cloak he waited for her, when she dropped to the ground at his feet he tied a letter to her ankle and quietly told her he wished to take all letters in his dorm from now on, thus his secret communication with Sirius began.
Eventually Ron came around and apologized, Harry wasn't sure how much he believed the git's half assed apology, but he accepted it anyways. Ron was Harry's first friend, and he wasn't quite sure he was ready to let go of that security blanket yet, but he did not trust him enough to bring him into his plotting like he did his other best friend. The truth was no matter how much he desired to be apart of the Weasley's family he was not, and the Weasley family seemed to be blindly devoted to Dumbledore, who he was slightly starting to expect was somehow worse than Riddle. The night came when he was to sneak out through the tunnel behind the one-eyed-witch to Honeydukes basement came. He didn't tell Hermione where he was going, she seemed to be getting close to Ron again which made him uncomfortable for some reason. Well, he knew why actually, he had become quite possessive of the witch in the last couple months, she was the only one who stuck by him through everything even though to be honest he was kind of a prat their first year and he didn't want to share her kindness with anyone, she was his as far as he was concerned, he didn't want anyone taking her attention away from him. He wasn't romantically interested in her at all, he just didn't want her to forget about him like so many others.
Sirius met Harry in the Basement of Honeydukes and side-along apparated them to Gringotts so he could sort out his parents will, vaults, and his emancipation Dumbledore. Harry was shocked by a lot of the information he learned that night. Dumbledore had been taking money from the Potter and Black vaults quite often, he had been abusing his custody over Harry even more than he thought. What made him the most uncomfortable to know though was that Molly Weasley had also been pilfering the Potter vaults, claiming that he and Ginny were betrothed according to a contract the old wizard had signed just after his parents had been killed by Voldemort. Sirius and Harry spent all night working with Griphook to straighten everything out, it turned out the Dumbledore vault had more money than both the Potter and Black Vaults put together, inheritance from Grindewald, the dark wizard from the first Wizarding World War, therefore the Goblin could only assume that the strange old wizard has taken so much from their vaults to make their transition into the world without him that much more difficult, they were all almost drained, the family and personal vaults of the Potter's and Black's as well as Sirius' own and James and Lily's. The Goblin had them sign some papers and add a drop of blood to confirm their magical signature before calling someone to help them take restitution from the offender vault.
When Bill Weasley walked into the room wide smirk on his freckled face for Harry and Sirius, Harry was confused. When Griphook explained the situation to Bill and his eye started to gleam like a child on Christmas while his smile grew wider Harry was only more bewildered. On the rollercoaster ride down Bill explained to Harry how his mother seemed to be in cahoots Dumbledore that Fleur was all wrong for him and some witch named Nymphadora Tonks was the one for him, they had been trying to feed him love potions that the Veela in Fleur could smell. She had been giving him a potion that counteracts the effects of lust, love, and seduction potions before every meal, therefore he only felt too happy to be the curse breaker brought into this job. Dumbledore would never know a Weasley betrayed him due to the goblins secrecy and Harry was thrilled to know that he has at least one of his favourite redheads on his side.
After Bill made quick work of breaking the wards on Dumbledore's vault, they took their restitution plus interest and then made their way back up to the offices on Gringotts to sign more paperwork. When Harry and Sirius left the bank, they were respectively named Lord Potter and Lord Black with Lord Black retaining custody of the young Lord Potter. Harry contacted Skeeter and had her run an article with anonymous sources about the new custody and lordships. Dumbledore's anger was palpable, and Hermione's hurt at being left out of the planning almost suffocated him, but he couldn't let himself get distracted, Hermione's feelings for Ron were cleat to him as well as most of the Weasley's betrayal. Harry started to try to discretely try to distance himself from her the same way he had Ron, however unlike the former she seemed to notice, and it only caused her to cling on tighter to him.
The summer before Harry's fifth year is when Sirius explained his relationship with Remus and he found out he had two fathers, although if Moony ever met his mate he would has two fathers and a mother. Sirius taught him to enjoy life and take advantage of being the boy-who-lived in the best way possible, witches…or wizards if that's what he preferred or both if he was like Sirius. Remus taught him wise things like that some friends betray you, but some are for life and no matter how broken you are you shouldn't push the ones who truly care for you away. Harry spent his summer working out the muggle way, eating more than he had ever been allowed at the Dursley's, and practicing magic with the wand Sirius bribed Ollivander to put under his name even though it responded to Harry so that they couldn't use the trace on him.
During that summer he learnt about his parent's school day with them, he was told hilarious stories by Sirius while they all laughed around the table with enough food to put Molly Weasley's table to shame, a werewolf, a starving teen, and an insatiable animangus could eat much more than the redheaded household. Remus told him other stories, not nearly as funny but ones that painted his father and his friends in a real way, he told him how they bullied Snape relentlessly, how they called him Snivellous and did many other horrendous things to the half-blood Slytherin that they now believed they had caused him to go towards the dark side, and in the darkness of the night one time Remus expressed his deepest fears, that just maybe Dumbledore had been setting them up more than anyone ever thought. That maybe the reason they got away with bullying Snape so easily was because the old wizard with the disturbingly twinkling eyes had always planned on forcing the slightly darker man to the dark side so he could manipulate him into coming to spy for the order one day, that maybe it wasn't actually Voldemort at all that had orchestrated the death of his parents to gain power, for the only one to receive power from that night was Dumbledore and supposedly Harry even though he had been kept under the man's thumb for far too long.
Harry joined Ron and Hermione at platform 9 ¾, he gave a tense nod to Ron (not that he noticed) and hugged Hermione longer than normal taking Remus' words to heart. Harry spent a good part of his year avoiding Dumbledore by spending lots of time in secret alcoves, and hidden broom closets the castle seemed to create for him with numerous witches and wizards. During this time he discovered although he enjoyed sex with both genders he referred witches, he also discovered he was a top, needing that control. The only boy he ever bottomed for was Theo Nott, and although it hadn't felt bad, he knew it wasn't right, Harry liked to be the one in control, talking dirty and making other people beg for his cock. With the added food, exercise, and a burst of unknown magic when he took the title of Lord Potter, he had grown quite a bit, standing at 6 foot 2, he had also gained a lot of muscle and Sirius took him for several magical tattoos over the summer, with all that added to the fact he was the-boy-who-lived he had witches and wizards practically begging at his feet.
Skeeter reported to him that year that Dumbledore was trying to take advantage of The Daily Profit to paint him in a bad light regarding the end of the Tri-Wizard tournament. That rat Wormtail had brought Voldemort back, and although Voldemort seemed aloof and not to interested in Harry or Cedric, Wormtail has tried to cast the killing curse on Cedric. Voldemort had stopped him with a swish of his oddly scaley hand and before anything else could happen Harry had run to Cedric and summoned the portkey to them. Harry didn't want to know what the dark wizard had planned. When Harry and Cedric got back both announced that Voldemort had returned due to Peter Pettigrew, however over the summer Cedric unexplainedly had a lapse of memory from the pat year before him and Amos disappeared entirely. With Skeeter answering to him and Hermione and the Black family name backing him Dumbledore failed to make Harry out to be a liar to the public. Unfortunately, Albus was head mug-womp and unknown to most students used that power to influence Fudge to implement Umbridge on them.
Not wanting to bring attention to himself Harry brushed off the blood quill that cunt used on him, he also didn't particularly care about the others she was using it against. Harry wasn't the sympathetic little boy he used to be, these people didn't give a crap about what happened to him, they trusted Dumbledore too much. Harry was walking the corridors one day and itching his scabbed hand, he saw Malfoy look at him and follow the length of his arm down to his hand, Harry wasn't sure at first if the blonde was checking him out because he bottomed for Theo earlier that year and he was confused on what his friend saw in him, but then Malfoy's eye's locked on his hand where Harry was scratching and he winced. Harry met Malfoy's eyes and they had a silent communication. Later that night Harry heard a pecking on his dorm window, when he opened it a gorgeo0us falcon flew in with a letter tied to its ankle.
Blood Quill?
D. The most honourable house of Malfoy.
Harry was confused by the letter and responded tersely, that is when he found out that Narcissa was Sirius cousin, she adored Sirius and there fore Harry through him. Draco and Harry kept up their communication for a few month and then with the Malfoy, Black, and Potter named against them Umbridge was taken from her position and thrown in Azkaban for the illegal use of dark magic with added time to her term since it was against minors, Fudge was thrown out of office when the sacred 28 turned on him for allowing the unthinkable to happen to children and Dumbledore lost even more of his hold on the ministry and school with people relying on the Black's and Malfoy's to protect their children since he did not. Somehow during the summer between fifth and sixth year the Malfoys seemed to integrate themselves further into Harry's life, he wasn't sure how he felt about that, however they never brought up their "Lord" or their blood purity crap so Harry decided to just enjoy their company and how happy Sirius was to have his "favourite cousin" back.
