AN: Whee! Its Harry time! score! I told you I'd do that! dances around I have to say, that as much as I like writing Draco, I LOVE writing Harry, but for the purposes of this story it will be mostly Draco. Again sorry. Oh and I'm just gonna tell you this is another part where I'm fucking with the ending of HBP, I don't like the Horocruxes, so they don't exist. At all. So Harry's just out of school because he feels he needs to prepare. That's it. Hermione and Ron will be going back to school, and Harry's just not going to. Yah. I'm sure you'll live.

Chapter 5

Harry sat in the library at Grimwald Place holding a picture of what the house at Godric's Hollow had looked like before Voldemort destroyed it. He was still thinking about what he should do with it. He had at the end of the school year found out that he had inherited the Black Fortune, including the Ancient House of Black and everything in it, so he had a large amount of money at his disposal.

Thinking about the letter he'd received from the solicitor the week after he'd gone back to Privit Drive his eyes watered. Sirius had left him everything, down to the last nail in Grimwald. His to do with as he wished. After getting that letter he owled McGonagall and told her that he was moving into Grimwald, and left. Petunia had heard him packing in the middle of the night and completely surprised him. She'd kissed his forehead and wished him well, and hoped that he'd come back to see her after it was all over. He'd nodded dumbly and had left.

Moving his glasses to the top of his head he rubbed the tears that had been collecting away.

Putting the picture down he picked up the book that he'd placed on the side table. Charms and Hexes for the Seventh Year was a decidedly boring book. Harry however decided that keeping up with his studies even while he was preparing would probably be a good thing.

To prepare Harry worked out with every available wizarding work out machine known to the entire wizarding population for 4 hours everyday. His Seekers build was accentuated to the point where it was almost gone. He was fully muscular, he had a washboard stomach, and his arms had become rock hard there was not an ounce of fat on his body, while some how leaving him as lithe as when he started. These machines also tested him on his ability to send out spells at a rapid pace, and blocking them.

Pretty basically he had 'duels' with the machinery.

After he finished his work out he would research new spells until lunch, and generally he would read during lunch as well, not taking any note of the food being prepared for him by Remus, who had decided that he should stay and make sure Harry actually ate good food, after having seen him eat a sock for lunch one day.

After Remus moved in, he had required Harry to spend at least three hours a day being social and not shutting himself away preparing for a battle that had an indefinite date.

He'd been at Grimwald for three weeks of summer break when McGonagall first came to him.

"Harry, please reconsider and come back to the school. I can understand that you feel that it isn't necessary anymore, but for everyone else, please come back."

"Professor, please, I can't go back, I need this time to prepare. If I have to focus on studies then I can't focus on preparing."

"Can't you think of the studies as preparing?"

"No I'm sorry I can't."

She had sighed and left and Harry had buried his head back into the new Curse book he'd bought, 5,001 Legal Curses.

Several days later McGonagall had come in to talk to Remus, Harry hadn't noticed the intrusion as he was still studying his curse book.

"Remus! He'll need to stay here during the school year making the potions."

"WHAT?"

"I know, it was explained however. Under Veritaserum no less."

"Fine, but Harry…"

"Harry has to come back to school. You must get him back to school."

Remus opened his mouth and stared at the young man who was in the next room ignoring life around him. He sighed, "Ok, I'll get Molly to bring Ron over here and owl Hermione to come."

Minerva relaxed visibly, "Thank you Remus. She'll be happy."

"I'm sure she will. She wasn't last time."

"I know, but he's not here this time. Hopefully it won't end as badly."

"We can only hope."

Minerva then left Remus to send for Ron and Hermione.

When Harry's two best friends came they were astounded to see him, almost as shocked as he was to see them.

Since they'd last seen Harry, he'd gotten noticeably stronger and taller and his hair had grown down to his shoulders, bearing a striking resemblance to Sirius. Neither of them said anything however.

"Well I'd never thought I'd see the day where Harry Potter was reading a book with out me badgering him to do so." Hermione laughed.

"Yeah, well I thought it might be important. I'm probably going to need a lot of these. I was thinking about going into Knockturn for a bit to get a few books there." Harry scratched the back of his neck.

Ron just couldn't stop staring at his friend. "Geez Harry! What have you been doing?"

"I have a four hour work out in the morning and then I study for most of the day." He shrugged as if it was no big.

Hermione shook her head. She now understood why Remus had asked for them to come and help him get Harry to go back to school.

Through the rest of the summer, Harry kept to the same routine. McGonagall returned several times to try and convince him to go back to school.

It wasn't until his birthday that they finally got him to agree. Everyone had come to celebrate his 17th. Molly had gone all out and prepared a fantastic meal. Ron and Hermione had even persuaded him to drop his schedule and just have fun that day.

Harry let loose and had fun, he gave a real smile for the first time since the beginning of the summer and he just enjoyed himself. But he ruined it for himself at the end of the night. He'd had a bit too much to drink, (you know one too many Butterbeers) and he'd exclaimed in joy "Shank you all sho mush! I reawwy haven't had thish mush fun in yearsh. So if there ish anyshing I can do in return, pleashe let me know!"

"Come back to school Harry. Please."

"Ok." He'd smile and promptly passed out.

"Heard and Witnessed."(1) The entire room chanted.

Harry was now bound to go back to Hogwarts for his last and final year.

giggles yes. I'm strange and that's where I'm going to end it. The chapter I mean.

1. I stole that blatantly from Anne McCaffery's Pern world. F'lar said it first. I love F'lar

Orion: I love F'lar to. Too bad he got together with Lessa..

Harry: Um yeah I have no clue who you're talking about, but I'm glad I finally got a chapter in!

Draco: Yes dear I'm very proud of you.

Orion: Are you sure you can't show me how much you appreciate me making this story mostly you Draco? pouts hopefully

Draco: looks at Harry glaring Ah, yes. I'm afraid I'd have a very irate boyfriend with a stake coming after me. So the answer is still no.

sigh What did I do to deserve this? groans and goes back to studying for her History test
