CHAPTER 1: The Boy Who Saw Tomorrow
Harry wasn't at all happy with his life. The events of the Triwizarding tournament were fading a little but being with his relatives the ever abusive Dursleys would only aggravate his feelings. Harry, Dudley, Petunia and Vernon were driving from the station and neither of them had said a word. Harry supposed that the toffee incident with Dudley last year had really set them on edge. It was dead silent as they drove. As they drove the now familiar route back to Privet Drive, Harry felt sick. The yelling, the threats, the abuse from both Vernon and Dudley would resume any day now. Strange that Dumbledore said that living with them would be very safe. Even Voldemort the Dark Lord said he couldn't hurt him at Privet Drive. Harry thought this was a very sick joke played by distant unfeeling deities that some wizards believed in. As they reached Harry's neighborhood Vernon spoke.
"Who's up for a burger?"
Harry figured he was a non-entity even though he could use one.
"Let's go to McDonald's" Dudley said quietly.
"Okay. Harry you're included." Vernon said simply.
A bomb could detonate off and Harry wouldn't have noticed
"Um, thanks." Harry said totally bewildered.
"Whatever." He grunted.
At the local McDonald's the four ordered at least six royales with cheese (one for Petunia and Harry two for Vernon and Dudley who was not on his diet obviously) with fries and drinks. The atmosphere was very subdued. Even though this was nearly the first time he was offered to eat out the Dursleys were completely ignoring him.
Maybe Professor Dumbledore told them to knock it off. Harry thought hopefully.
After they left the restaurant and drove back to the house Harry felt...decent. Vernon drove into the driveway of 4 Privet Drive it seemed that Dudley and Petunia were holding their breath. Vernon spoke almost gravely
"Boy, take your things on the doorstep." Harry noticed the quiet tone.
Harry unloaded his luggage from the trunk and put them on the doorstep. Vernon then gave him the keys to the house. This surprised Harry more.
"We're going out for a bit. Take care of things here."
Harry's head was swirling. They were leaving home alone for a bit! They always thought he was going to blow up the house or something. Harry almost skipped to the front door and when he unlocked it and went inside with a caged Hedwig he heard the sound of the car speeding off. Harry then saw the most unbelievable sight.
The house was empty. Totally devoid of furniture and appliances save for the fridge, washing machine and manila folder of papers on the floor. He picked up the folder and noticed a note.
GET THAT DEADBEAT GODFATHER TO LOOK AFTER YOU. WE ARE THROUGH.
VERNON
The folder was pile of various legal documents including the deed to the house which Vernon was so proud of buying.
The first thing Harry did was go to the sink and throw up his tasty meal he had barely a half hour ago. This was too much. They weren't much but family was family. This was it. Now Harry felt like the Lord of All Freaks. The magic was too much for them and their ordinary little world. Harry washed up and closed the front door. He picked up Hedwig and went to his room which was untouched and laid down on the bed.
Bastards to the very end.
Don't panic. You have money; you have people who care about you.
I have to be strong now. I'm alone now. No, that's not right.
Sirius, Ron, Hermione, Professor Dumbledore, Hagrid.
But do I have to drag them into this mess.
Harry decided to let Hedwig out to go hunting for a while. Harry noticed the bars on his window were gone. He let her out and was staring at the hazy sky. He was alone again, like when his parents died, like when Sirius had to go on the run, like when Cedric had died. When Hedwig came back Harry decided to go to Gringotts and make a withdrawal, then ask the Weasleys if he could stay with them because staying with Sirius was impossible. Harry was in a slow burn at that thought. He wanted to stay with him. He needed to stay with him and he was just out of reach. Harry felt a strange power overcome him slightly as he thought of his escaped con godfather.
I wish I knew if he is safe or not. Letters aren't enough. I feel alone. I want him in my life. I want to see tomorrow with him.
Harry felt...stronger? He was in a bad situation and yet it felt as if everything was going to be alright now. It was deep intuition. It left him in a sort of trance. Harry then heard the postman outside which only shook him a little. He thought of his luggage downstairs and thought he'd better put them upstairs. Only when he was downstairs did it dawn on him that he was leaving this house, for good probably and that he should leave them be. So he was going to get the post. Harry reached the front door and touched the doorknob....
A brilliant vision overcame his eyes.
// A wooded clearing in the country. A little house made of bricks.
Sirius Black at its front door. The door opens only to find Remus Lupin on the other side.
They were speaking but no sound was heard. They talked for a few minutes.
Only one feeling emerged.
All was right with the world. No matter what the past had done to them. //
Harry slumped down. That felt like a dream except he was wide awake. The feeling of seeing that...whatever it was gave Harry an exhilarating feeling. Yet it didn't seem like it would happen yet. Something important happened to him and Harry felt he should trust this new feeling. Harry got out his writing supplies and made a quick letter. Hedwig came back and flew freely downstairs to Harry.
"Hedwig send this to Professor Remus Lupin." Harry said quietly. Hedwig took the letter and flew out the front door Harry opened. He looked at his hand, the one that touched the doorknob. He was being selfish. He could get Sirius captured...but Harry trusted his newfound feelings. Above all, he needed to see him. Harry didn't feel like becoming the tenth member of the Weasleys. He wanted to be in Sirius and Professor Lupin's world.
Sorry, Professor Dumbledore, I'm not going another day without them.
