Chapter 2

A/N – I have rewritten this chapter after Mystical witch told me that Miss Figg attended the funeral. I've gone back through the book and she did attend the funeral so I changed that part. Thank you Mystical witch.

Dear Harry,

I hope you've had a nice summer so far. Don't let your uncle and his family ruin your holiday, just a few more days and then you can use magic. "Yeah, I already am." Harry laughed. Please don't be stupid and curse them, if you have to just scare them a bit. "Already have." He thought.

Harry this is the fifth letter I've sent please reply just so I know you're alright. If you don't reply to this one then I will come down and visit you weather your uncle likes it or not. Please just talk to us even if it is Ron. Don't blame yourself for Dumbledore's death, "I don't blame myself. I blame that traitor Snape." We know you suspected Malfoy but you couldn't have predicted that Snape would kill him. Please write back.

Love,

Hermione.

Dear Harry,

You alright mate, I still haven't told Hermione you've been writing to me but I still don't understand why you don't want her to know. Anyway it's your business and not mine. "That's why I write back to you Ron." Harry said to himself. Hope the muggles are treating you alright a couple of days then you can get your revenge, the twins have a new product out, as the main financial supplier they have given you the privilege or being the first to use their new product, they call it a grenade. (Some muggle thing.) Just throw it at your target, once it hits something it will explode. They said you can find out what it does. Anyway I've got to go sorry mate. I will write to you later on in the week.

See ya,

Ron.

P.S - Ginny says hi.

Harry felt a bit better off after talking to Ron. Somehow no matter what mood he was in Ron always seemed to make it better. He folded up the letters and put them into trunk. He looked around the room and saw how messy it was. With a flick of his wand all of the stuff started to fly around and went into his trunk just as Vernon walked in. "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?" he yelled.

"Cleaning my room." Harry said with his wand still up.

Vernon didn't even notice the wand. "I TOLD YOU NONE OF THAT FREAKISH STUFF IN MY HOUSE!"

"Well at least you know I can do it outside of school now. You just better be nice."

"YOU BETTER NOT BE THREATENING ME BOY!"

"Please, I have better thing to do."

Vernon was now purple in the face. "Well, you better get down stairs and do your chores." Vernon said walking out of the room.

"Get aunt Petunia to do them I have better things to do." Harry said pulling out a book on charms to protect the home.

"DON'T YOU DARE SPEAK TO M…" Vernon said walking back towards the room before the door shut in his face and locked itself.

"Now that that is over." Harry said pointing his wand at his quill. "Incarsirus."

The quill went a light blue colour and then went back to normal. "Incendio." He pointed his wand at the quill.

The quill set alight. After a few second Harry put the fire out and looked at the quill. The quill was slightly burnt at the edges. "Damn. That is one hard charm." Harry said throwing the quill into the bin with other half burnt objects.

Harry looked at his clock and it told him it was coming onto five o'clock. "Almost ready." He said putting on his invisibility cloak and walking downstairs.

As he reached the bottom Dudley walked in the front door leaving it open a bit. "I've got to be quick dad, Mat is waiting for me." Dudley said walking straight to the fridge.

While he was at the fridge Harry walked out of the door and saw Mat leaning against Vernon's car. Harry just walked past him and down the different streets. He carried on walking under the cloak until he reached a certain house. He looked around and no one was out and he didn't think anybody was looking out of their windows, so he took the cloak off, walked up the path to a house and knocked on the door. "Hold on, I'm coming." Someone said from the other side.

The door opened and in the doorway was an old lady holding a cat. "Hello Harry dear, how are you?" Miss Figg asked.

"Can I come in please?" Harry asked.

"Of course dear."

Miss Figg moved out of the way and Harry walked in. "Please, sit down." She offered.

"Thank you."

"So, what brings you over here?"

"As you might know, tomorrow is my birthday."

"Oh happy birthday, you should've told me I would've got you something."

"Oh thanks but that's not the reason I've come. Well since I will be of age the protection my mum gave me when I was a child will run out and I fear death eaters might attack the house. So I was wondering if I could come here at midnight just so I can escape. I will make sure I'm not followed, I'll be under my invisibility cloak, and on my broom so they won't know where I've gone if they see me leave.

"Yes, of course dear. I'm glad you came to me but Dumbledore would've been a better option."

"I know but since…"

"Don't worry dear, I know how you feel, he was a personal friend of mine too."

"Yeah, he helped me a lot this year."

"He helped a lot of people. I remember years ago he convinced the head master at the time to take in this boy, I can't remember his name, he was a few years younger then you-know-who, but he was a half giant and if it wasn't for Dumbledore he wouldn't have got into the school."

"Yeah Hagrid, he did that for people, one of my dad's friends was a werewolf and Dumbledore accepted him."

"Truly a great man."

"He didn't deserve it. Not the way he went, yeah he was getting old but he trusted that man and he stabbed Dumbledore in the back."

"Who dear?"

"Serverus Snape."

"Didn't Dumbledore make him potions teacher."

"For 16 year, and now I'm left on my own."

"I hope you can manage, but remember you will always have your friends to help you. From what Dumbledore used to tell me, they are loyal to you. They will help, use that help to the fullest. Well anyway, you can come over I will leave a key under the mat and I'll have a bed ready for you."

"Thank you."

"It'll be the second door on the left. You are welcome to come back anytime and use that room if you need to."

"Thank you again, well I must be going. I've got to get ready."

It had been a long evening but Harry had everything, he even had time to perfect his fire protection spell. He had everything ready, his trunk shrunken in his pocket, same with his invisibility cloak, and broom in the middle of his room at the ready. His window was open in case he needed to fly out. His cloak started to chime. It was now twelve o'clock and time to leave. Harry grabbed hold of his broom and got ready to leave when a green barrier went over the window. Harry ran out of his room and to the stairs. He looked down at the door and the door was surrounded by the same green light. He walked back into his bedroom and looked out of his window. Down on the lawn were 15 odd death eaters. "Well you were quicker then I thought." Harry called out.

"We are full of surprises Potter." One said back.

"I didn't say I was surprised. I knew you would come."

"So any last words."

"A few, why? Are you giving me the time to speak up?"

"Might as well, they're going to be you last, so make them good."

"So who is it that is brave enough to attack my house?"

The death eater lowered her hood. "I thought it might've been you Bellatrix."

"What can I say?"

"Is Snape with you?"

"No, the dark lord has only sent his best."

"So no chance of Draco being with you then?"

"Sorry to disappoint you."

"Let's get this over with." Harry said.

"Really, are you sure you are ready to die." She mocked.

"Give me your best." He said with confidence in his voice.

"Now." She said.

"INCENDIO!" all the death eaters said pointing their wands at the house.

Inside the house Harry had already put the fire resistance charm on himself and his broom. He pointed his wand at the wall. "Reducto." He said and the wall blew apart.

He mounted the broom and shot out of the hole he just created. "Better luck next time Bella." He said floating 20 feet above them.

He pulled out his invisibility cloak while dodging curses. Once he put the cloak to its original size he threw down the twin's grenade and it hit Bellatrix right on her head and exploded. All the death eaters got caught in the smoke that came out. Once it was clear Harry saw they had all turned into pigs. He flew down to the ground and only then did he realise that the house was still on fire. He quickly pointed his wand at the house and put out the fire with some effort. Luckily the death eaters had only aimed for his room therefore it was easier to put it out. When he had finished that he collected the wands of the death eaters and bound them up. He pulled out a piece of parchment and a quill and quickly wrote out a note. To whichever Auror may read this. Here are 15 death eaters including Bellatrix Lustrange. Enjoy, Love Harry Potter. He attached to note to one of the death eaters and Portkeyed them to the Auror holding cells and headed off for Miss Figg's house.

A/N – there you go, I hope enjoyed it, don't forget that little button at the bottom and review, it makes the story better. Mystical witch has already proved that.
