A/N- I want to clear something up I know a lot of you think that I'm copying Harry Potter and the Heir of 5 (yes I'm reading that story and I love it) by Aqualaira (and I email her too) but I'm NOT!! But I do admit that there were a lot of things that sounded very alike. Like the animals and such, but I didn't relies that until I had already post. So just to let you know I email her and said sorry and she forgave me and doesn't mind. But our stories are completely different, as you will find out in this chapter. So please forgive me if you got really upset about the last chapter if you want me to re-write I will happily. But enough talk here's the story. By the way I changed the name so it fits more with the story. please R/R

Harry Potter and the Quest for Survival

By: Amy

The next few days passed without much happening. The Dursley's didn't touch nor did they talk to Harry at all not even daring to make him do any chores. It was starting to feel like when they first found out that Harry was going to Hogwarts. He spent most of the time in his room talking to his new animal friends. Three days before he was supposed to leave for the Burrow, he got a surprise visit.

Harry was awake because of a nightmare when he heard a noise from the backyard. Him being the curious boy that he is went to go investigate. The young wizard got out of his room quietly and crept downstairs, went into the kitchen and looked out the window. Then saw something move, but it wasn't a person it was something else.

Probably a lost dog. Harry though turning to go back to his room when there was a soft tap at the door. Harry turned around and saw that Sirius was at the door. He ran to the door and threw it open.

"Sirius what are you doing here?" he asked incredulously

"Coming to see you, I have something to tell you but it can wait till morning. What are you doing up so late anyway?" his godfather answered

"Couldn't sleep than I heard something down stair and came to see what it was." came the reply from Harry while he pulled his godfather into the kitchen

"Did you have another nightmare" asked Sirius concerned.

Harry never got to answer because they both heard something coming down stairs. Sirius turned into a dog and Harry was about to hide but to late. Uncle Vernon saw him with the door open to a dog.

"What the hell do you think your doing!" he asked his eyes burning with anger

"I-I." was all he got out before Vernon interrupted him

"I have put up with you for too long! I should have done this along time ago!"

Harry was fearful of what Vernon would do. He might have received new powers but his uncle was still bigger than him. Vernon raised his hand and slapped Harry so hard that when he hit the floor, he tasted the blood in his mouth. Vernon was about to kick him but it never came cause Sirius caught his leg and was trying to rip it apart.

"Sirius, I'm okay let him go!" he said weakly even thought he was enjoying it.

Sirius let go than went to see how Harry was. When he was the blood he was tempted to hurt Vernon even more.

"Get that mutt out of here!" Bellowed Vernon but Sirius wouldn't hear of it and transformed back into a human. Vernon went from cherry red to pale white.

"Your are.. your.. are"

"I'm his godfather." Sirius smiled evilly. Vernon ran as fast as his fat self could out of the kitchen.

"Are you hungry Sirius?" Harry asked politely

"Yeah, you got anything good?" his godfather replied always starving

"I'll make you a sandwich." Harry stated and took out the toast. After Harry was done, he handed it to Sirius and they went up to his room.

"Why don't you got to sleep I'll be here when you wake up." Sirius offered and Harry agreed wishing him a goodnight.

" 'Night" Sirius replied and Harry went to sleep. Instantly was in a dream, the same one he had on his birthday.

"Harry? Harry wake up!" Sirius said shaking his godson. Harry woke up with a yell.

"Harry your sweating like crazy." Sirius told him looking concerened

"Just the usual nightmare that's all. Nothing to worry about." he restored, while getting up.

"Are you sure?" Sirius asked still being worried.

"What did you want to tell me that could wait till morning?" Harry asked trying to change the subject. Sirius observes him for a moment before he answered.

" Dumbledore told me to come get you. Some important matter that you need to know. And I have to be present." Sirius explained and Harry sighed

" Oh, so I guess I won't be going to Ron's house." he said in sad disappointed tone.

"I don't know." Sirius said and shrugged his shoulders

"When do we leave?" Harry asked now in a cheerful about getting away

"As soon as you're packed and ready we can leave" Sirius said grinning and Harry packed his trunk with the help of Sirius and checked that nothing was left behind. Then Harry sat down and wrote a letter to Ron.

Dear Ron

Something has come up and I might not be able to go to your place. Dumbledore wants to talk to me at Hogwarts about something. I'm leaving with Snuffles. Sorry I can't come over. See you at Hogwarts.

bye

Your Friend

Harry

"Hedwig, send this to Ron for me please, than meet me at Hogwarts." He told his owl which nipped his finger affectionately before flying out the window. Harry turned to Sirius now. "Ready" Sirius asked

"Kay" Harry said smiling before apparating him, Sirius, as well as the rest of his stuff to Hogwarts.

"How did you do that?" Sirius asked shocked.

"I'll explain later, come on." the young wizard answered cheerfully. He picked up Hedwig's empty cage and charmed the chest to be light. Sirius still shocked walked beside him. They made their way to the Hogwarts and were in front of the gargoyle.

"Chocolate Frogs" Sirius called but nothing happen

"I thought you knew the password." Harry asked him

"It must have changed " his godfather answered shrugging.

"Bloodpops" Harry guessed and still nothing happened

"Bertie Botts every flavor beans?" Sirius suggested.

"That won't work Sirius" Harry restored

"Why?" came the question back

"He doesn't like those" the young wizard simply stated

"Oh" was all he heard back.

They guessed a few more and Harry guessed in a last attempt.

"Carney Creams" and the gargoyle jumped to life giving the way free

Weird Harry thought. They both reached the door and knocked

"Come in" called a friendly voice

"Hello Professor Dumbledore" they greeted together as they saw the headmaster.

"Hi Harry, Hi Sirius, please sit down." the old but friendly headmaster offered and they took a seat.

"So what did you want to talk about with me?" Harry said getting straight to the point

"Some good and some bad. Did you find out about your powers and such?" he asked before going on

"Yes I have Professor." came the short answer

"Wait what powers?" Sirius threw in confused at the path of the conversation

"You explain Professor." Harry said sighing, so Dumbledore explained all about Harry being the heir and his new powers. Sirius was shocked but he had to get over it rather quickly.

"Now I have to explain something that has to do with Harry. Please do not interrupt me until I finish." Both Sirius and Harry nodded. "Long ago there was this princess her name was Clio and she created a stone that could destroy the world as we know it, if in the wrong hands. Now I don't know the whole history, you're going to have to find that out. All I know is that before she was killed she hid the stone somewhere unknown and I want you Harry and Sirius to find it." Dumbledore told them

"What! Why me?" Harry protested

"Because of the legend Harry. When you read about the stone you will find out about the legend." the headmaster told him

"When do we leave?" Harry answered sighing. Why dose it always have to be me! he thought to himself.

"Whenever you are ready. Be careful Voldemort is also after the stone (of course Harry thought) and will do whatever in his power to stop you. Good Luck!"

And with that Harry and Sirius got up, said their good-byes and left. They went down to the Great Hall and got some breakfast.

After they were done with that they went to the Gryffindor Common room and up to Harry's dormitories and put his trunk at the end of his bed but took out some stuff, that he would need.

"Where to now" Harry asked as they made their way back to the common room.

"I know! Were going to visit an old friend." Sirius exclaimed dragging Harry with him.
