A/N: This is my very first ficcie and I REALLY REALLY need feedback (if you liked it that is). I and my demented self thinks that if many reviews are coming in it will be worth keeping up. It is summer but I can guarantee nodda. I write when inspiration strikes (or hit another multiple of ten in reviews for the story)

YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!! NO FLAMES

Chapter 1: Jail Bird
"Put that damn thing away, now boy! We know you can't do magic outside of that freak school of yours so put it away, this instant!" Vernon Dursley's large purple face was contorted in fear and in rage from his nephew's serious lack of judgment in threatening his cousin Dudley in front of him.

" I'm sick and tired of you people treating me like I'm such a worthless piece of crap"!

Harry Potter's look had changed drastically since he had left Hogwarts the previous year. At the beginning of the summer he had taken a bus up to gringotts in London to exchange some of his fortune to muggle money. He went on a shopping spree buying all new clothes. He had become a gothic menace.

All of his clothes were tight, fitted black shirts, black baggy jeans or silk shirts with black slacks. He had gone out to a couple of other stores and had bought all kinds of new jewelry, such as the leather collars and spiked armbands. He had also taken a particular liking to rock and heavy metal music, which the neighbors had called the police over many times during his latest stay at Privet drive. The only thing that the police could do though was to warn him not to do it again. He had also started smoking but quickly dropped it after a few hacking fits.

The neighbors had called the muggle police on him once again that summer to report that there was some stranger wandering around at night down Privet Drive dressed in all black. He was hauled in two days later. He made his phone call to the Dursley's but they refused to come make bail for him or even go and get some of his family fortune. He was desperate at the time and even though he would never want to tell the Dursley's about his money he had to do something. A couple of days in there Hedwig showed up at the police station after the Dursleys had kicked her out of the house. She gave him a rather reproachful look when she turned up because he had no food to offer her. He sent a note to Mr. Weasley to see if he would be able to help get him out. Hedwig returned a few days later with the following note for him:

Dear Harry,
I am sorry to hear of the awful predicament that you are in, but it must be truly fascinating in there! Send the amount that you need on a slip of parchment with your key and I will be there as soon as I can possibly be.
Sincerely, Arthur Weasley

The next day he showed up looking like he was high over the fascinating system of muggle prison.

He did get out but the officers gave him a look that all but screamed "you'll be back soon".

"How are you Harry?"

"Fine thanks, and I really appreciate you coming to get me out of there. It was a living hell."

"Oh come now Harry, it couldn't have been that bad."

"You have no idea. The food was disgusting and I didn't get any sleep at all"!

"Well I do have some good news for you though Harry."

"What would that be?"

"Your aunt's and uncle decided that you aren't to come back to their house for the rest of the summer because you threatened Dudley, which was a bad thing to do Harry, and also because the neighbors have been coming to them and complaining that you are lowering the quality of the neighborhood with your antics, such as destroying the park on a weekly basis..."

"That's not me, that is Dudley and his stupid gang of friends!"

"... and your new, eer, appearance."

"Anyway I got in contact with Dumbledore and he said that it was fine that you could spend the last two weeks of Holiday at Gimmauld place with Ron, Ginny, Hermione, and also, regrettfully, Mr. Malfoy."

"Why is Lucius there!?!"

"No, no, no Harry, Draco will be there as well. Dumbledore knew that you would not like that too much, but seeing as his father is now in Azkaban, and he gave up all ties to the Dark side, Dumbledore thought that he could spend the summer there."
"That really isn't much better than Lucius being there."

"Well as much as you dislike him, as we all do just about, he is on our side. What you will have to remember is that next year at Hogwarts he will have lost all of his friends in Slytherin, for his father's cowardice in serving you-know-who, and also beacuse he renounced all ties to the Malfoy family. It will be a very diffucult place for him to be next year and he is going to need to have new friends there that will not be trying to murder him. I have allready said this to the other two and Ginny and they were willing to start over with him, well Ron is still not really friendly still, and I am hoping you will be mature enough to do the same."

"I'll have to think about it... for a while."

"He is feeling a little blue right now, and also just a bit cranky, so you will have to be the bigger person Harry."

"Sure, whatever. Oh Mr. Weasley, one more thing, I am going to have to go to trial becuase that whole breaking curfew incident that I got arrested for in a couple of weeks, I just thought that I should probably let you know."

"I'm sure that we can someone from the ministry help you with your case, I mean after all, it really wasn't a very big deal."

"I can only hope so."

"What kind of punishment are we looking at here after all?"

"Possibly a small fine, up to a couple of months in prison, if they really hate me."

"Let's not be pessimistic about it. I'm sure everything will work out, just like it always has."
