Harry was in the process of pulling on his shirt when Aries came flying
through the window with several envelopes in her beak.
"Thank you Aries." Harry said as he took the letters and tossed them all on a nearby table. He did not want to keep Albus waiting any longer than necessary, especially after the look he had received, so after pulling on his shoes, he hurried back downstairs to find the headmaster waiting at the bottom of the steps.
"In here Mr. Potter." Albus instructed, waiting until Harry had followed him into the library before closing the door and turning the lock.
"Now, please explain to me why you left your relatives, when I had told you explicitly not too." Albus said as he crossed the room and sat down in a chair facing Harry.
For several long moments, Harry said nothing, knowing that anything he did say would only cause more trouble for everyone else.
"Does it matter why I left?" Harry finally asked after several minutes of silence.
"I can not protect you Harry if you continue to disobey every thing I ask of you."
"Has it ever occurred to you that just maybe I don't want your protection?" Harry asked as he rose to his feet and began to pace the length of the room.
"Sit." Albus instructed in a tone that brooked no argument. Hiding a tiny smile as Harry did as he was told.
"Do you have any idea how many times you would have died or been killed by Voldemort without my interference?" Albus asked angrily.
"So what." Harry countered, not at all liking the way the conversation was headed.
"Don't speak to me in that tone ever again young man." Albus ordered barely containing the urge to slap him senseless.
"Then stop treating me like I am still four years old." Harry stated unaware of the fact that there was the tiniest hint of a golden glow in his eyes.
"Ever since my first year, you have done nothing but avoid answering any question I asked, yet you have always demanded to know the tiniest of details concerning anything that happened at the time. I am sick to death of all this secrecy and you avoiding my questions when I have ever right to know the answers. I have never once been unwilling to suffer the consequences of my actions, no matter what it is, for the mere fact that I have always done what I thought was right at the time. I could have easily done everything the easy way, but I was taught that what was easy wasn't always the right thing. You want to know why I left the Dursley's, fine I'll tell you!" Harry stated angrily.
"I left for the simple reason I wanted too. They have always treated me like a slave and I refuse to keep allowing that to happen. So while we are on this particular subject, you may as well know, that I am never going back there again." Harry stated as he glared at Albus.
"I am afraid that you are wrong about that. You will return to your relatives." Albus stated as he rose to his feet, knowing that Harry was much too angry to have any type of conversation with at the moment he slowly walked toward the door.
"The hell I will." Harry whispered beneath his breath as he pushed his way past the headmaster and ran up the stairs to his room. Slamming the door, hard enough to rattle every window in the house. Harry angrily paced the length of his room.
He was sick to death of being the headmaster's little puppet and doing every little thing he was told and hell would freeze over before he allowed this to continue. Grabbing up the book Godrick had given him earlier; Harry flung himself on the bed and began to read.

Godrick Gryffindore, never thought he would be hiding from anyone, and the idea that he was doing so now, did not set well with him at all, he thought to him self as he reached the end of the corridor and placed his palm against the wall.
"It's about time you decided to join us." Salazar drawled as he watched Godrick step through the door.
"Give it a rest snake breath, there are more important things to discuss than my being late." Godrick said as he dropped into a chair.
"What is going on Godrick, and why did you ensure that we could not leave this room, once we had arrived." Helga asked, slightly put out by the fact that she had not been able to get to her old rooms.
"I apologize for the inconvenience Helga, but after I explain, I hope you all will understand."
"First of all, there are a few things that have happened, that make me question Albus Doumbeldore's motives in sending Harry to us to train. He seems to keep a very tight reign on that child to the point there is nothing Harry does, that Albus does not know. I have taken the liberty of examining Albus's pensive and have found some very disturbing things in it. Mainly the fact that he has lied to all of us." Godrick explained as he recalled some of the more disturbing facts that he had found.
"I don't understand why Albus would intentionally plan Sirius's death, if he was so close to Harry. The child has suffered greatly at the loss of his parents already." Rowena said after Godrick had finished telling them all in detail about the planning of Sirius's death and its execution with the help of a few death eater's.
"Most likely because he felt Sirius was beginning to have more influence over Harry, than that he had." Salazar stated, speaking for the first time.
"I suppose you have some sort of plan as to how we should handle this particular situation." Helga stated as she watched Salazar and Godrick exchange a silent look and sighed knowing they were having a silent conversation between them selves.
"Of course." Godrick finally answered.
"I propose that we hide our true identities and pose as teachers."
"Thank you Aries." Harry said as he took the letters and tossed them all on a nearby table. He did not want to keep Albus waiting any longer than necessary, especially after the look he had received, so after pulling on his shoes, he hurried back downstairs to find the headmaster waiting at the bottom of the steps.
