The Beginning of Normalcy
Chapter 2
Meeting Ol' Voldie
"Tell me where he is, woman." Said an all too familiar voice. Voldemort was here. Damn, thought Harry. It's a whole bloody hour until the Order people get here. Why couldn't he have come a bit later?
With these thoughts, Harry ran back into his room as quietly as he could and grabbed his invisibility cloak out of his trunk. As he walked out of the room, he put it on and drew out his wand. Aiming it at the cloak, he charmed it to stay on him no matter how he moved. Just to test it, he turned a front summersault and landed at the top of the stairs. Good, it had worked, he thought vaguely as he crept down the stairs avoiding the steps that creaked.
A quick glance revealed that no one was in the living room though the telly was still on.
A piercing scream rang through the air. Harry almost jumped. The scream had come from the kitchen.
"Tell me where he is!" said Voldemort again.
"No." came Aunt Petunia's reply.
"Then pay! Crucio!"
Aunt Petunia started screaming again and Harry walked quicker towards the kitchen.
"Who are you looking for Tom?" said Harry spying Voldemort. Voldemort whirled around.
"Show yourself, Potter." Said Voldemort with a sneer. "Or maybe you're too much of a coward."
"Not a coward. I just rather enjoyed the look on your face when you figured out I was invisible, but for all you know I could just be behind you." At this Voldemort whirled around again this time his back was to Harry. Harry didn't exactly like hitting other people in the back, but this was an exception to the rules.
"Show- " Voldemort never got to finish that sentence as he was hit in the back by a rather mean Bat Bogey Hex. Voldemort whirled around yet again and aimed a curse at where the hex had come from, but Harry had already moved to another corner of the room.
"Nice miss." Said Harry. Voldemort snarled as he threw another curse that once again Harry avoided.Harry shot a stunner at Voldemort then dodged a killing curse. Harry glanced at the clock, half past 11. Damn! Thirty minutes more, he thought. Just then he got an idea. Dashing to the front door he conjured up a note that read, 'Get in here silently. Currently fighting ol' Voldie. Hp'. A sticking charm stuck it to the outside of the door. With that done he reshut the door. Uncle Vernon was still at work. That left Dudley upstairs and Aunt Petunia had hidden in the closet under the stairs. Voldemort started moving into the entrance hall when he heard the door open and shut.
"Fleeing yet, Potter?"
"Not remotely."
Harry dodged another killing curse and it hit a vase that shattered into smithereens. Harry stopped the shards from hitting him and redirected them to Voldemort, who snarled in furry as they hit him in the face. Another killing curse narrowly missed Harry, who was thrown to the floor with a thud.
"Looks like I win, Potter."Harry was about to retort when the front door opened. Moody came in first followed by Remus and Tonks. "You're too late. Potter is dead." Said Voldemort turning away from Harry to address them.Thinking quickly, Harry pulled down the hood of the cloak and winked at Remus who shot him a look of understanding. Harry made to get up, but Remus discreetly motioned him down.
Voldemort turned back around and Harry barely got the hood back over his head in time. Voldemort shot the dark mark into the sky and pointed his wand at the floorboards of the house muttering something under his breath, before apperating away. As soon as Voldemort had disappeared, the spot where he had pointed his wand burst into flame. Remus quickly put a flame freezing charm on it.
"Harry, go get your trunk and what ever else you need. I need to talk to Dumbledore before we leave. Tonks, would you help him?" said Remus. The short auror with pink hair nodded slightly as Harry pulled off the cloak.Harry walked over to the cupboard under the stairs and opened the door. Aunt Petunia was sitting in there.
"Is it safe?" she asked.
"For now." Said Harry before heading up the stairs.
A few minutes later, Harry came down with his trunk and Hedwig's cage in his pocket, thanks to Tonks. Remus was standing by the front door with a grim expression on his face.
"What's wrong?" asked Harry with a sinking feeling in his stomach.
"Harry, there's been a slight change of plans." Remus paused. "You won't be going to Grimwauld Place. No questions now, I'll explain when we get there. Put your cloak back on. Tonks, Moody, follow my lead. Well, follow it in a second. I'll be right back." Remus walked out of the room, but was back within a few minutes, Aunt Petunia and Dudley in tow. Aunt Petunia and Dudley didn't look at them, and passed right past them without a word. Harry heard the car start as Remus aimed his wand at the small fire again. This time the fire started spreading rapidly. Remus opened the door and ran out coughing fakely. Moody and Tonks followed his lead with Harry on their heels. Harry chanced a look back and saw that the house was now obviously on fire. Soon the neighbors would notice and call the fire department. They all piled in the car and started to drive off. They weren't but far down the road when the sound of an explosion reached their ears. Harry twisted around in his seat and saw number 4 Privet Drive completely engulfed in flames, if the neighbors didn't notice that, than they were blind and deaf.
What the hell was going on? First Voldie got into his supposed 'safe house' then 'kills' Harry. Next Remus tells him that he's not going to Gimwauld Place. Where was he then?Harry wondered as his eyes slowly shut.
"Harry. Harry, wake up. We're here." Harry slowly opened his eyes. Where were they?
"No questions now. There'll be time for that later." Said Tonks. Harry just blinked and nodded. They were outside a small village that was definitely . Harry didn't know where it was though. Remus shrunk the car to toy sized and put it in his pocket. This done Moody pulled out a glass bottle. Remus and Tonks reached forward to touch it and motioned forHarry to do the same. Harry complied and he soon felt the familiar tug behind his navel.
Harry landed hard on his but on a wood floor. Harry looked around as he stood up. The portkey had taken them to Dumbledore's office in Hogwart's. Remus had landed on his feet, so had Tonks and Moody. Tonks however had been her normal clumsy self and had knocked something off of Dumbledore's desk onto the floor.Harrydidn't think that it had broken though. Dumbledore was sitting behind his desk looking at them without the twinkle in his eye as normal. This made Harry feel uneasy. Normally when Dumbledore's eyes didn't twinkle, it was a very bad sign.
"What's going on Professor?" asked Harry.
"Well, Harry, I was planning for this to happen sometime, but not this soon, however, we will take any chance we get."
"Professor, if you don't mind could you cut the riddles." Said Harry starting to get a bit annoyed.
"Very well then. Harry Potter was killed around 11:45pm, on August 11th."Harry opened his mouth to say something, but the headmaster shushed him with a wave of his hand. "Let me finish, please. Voldemort himself attacked leaving no survivors, burning the house to the ground before he left. That is what the world is to know. For those who knew that you three were going to pick up Harry, you got there a minute too late, by the time you got there Voldemort had just shot the dark mark into the sky and apperated away. Remus rushed in to see if anyone survived and no one had. Now, I know you must be confused, Harry." At this Haryr nodded, Dumbledore smiled sadly and continued. "Your relatives have been relocated to America, with no memories of you or why they really left. They think they moved because Vernon Dursley or Vernon Dellmont as they are now known as, lost his job."
"So they're safe in America?" asked Harry.
"Yes, they are. Remus and I- " here he was stopped by coughing from Remus. "Sorry, I came up with a plan to keep you safe should Voldemort somehow manage to get past the wards on Privet Drive. I thought this would happen sometime next year, however I was wrong once again. In this plan, Remus and I would stage your death somehow. I hadn't really gotten that far, yet. After your 'death' you would take on a new identity and be put under the Identification Changing Charm. This charm allows the caster to give someone else the appearance of another from a memory or a picture or even imagination. The only way it comes off is if the caster takes it off or is killed. You would then either live here or in a safe house with an order member who wouldn't know who you really are. Then in the fall when school starts, you would come to school under your new identity. You would be resorted as a transfer from being homeschooled by your parents. You also would get a new wand so the Ministry can't track your magical signature. There will be no communicating to Hermione, Ron or any of your other friends until you 'meet' them at the beginning of school or on the train ride here. Are you understanding this Harry?"
"Okay, so Harry James Potter is dead and I am…" said Harry.
"I hadn't thought that far, yet. I thought I had more time." Said Dumbledore. "Now I suppose you're tired and would like to put down your trunk and owl cage. You may sleep in the Gryffindor dormitory. The password is horntail."
Harry took this as his cue to leave and stood up to go.
Walking through the halls towards the dorms, he tried to get all the information straight, but didn't get past the fact that he was 'dead.' Shrugging it off till the morning, Harry muttered the password to the portrait and climbed up the stairs to his dorm room. Stumbling over to his bed, Harry dumped the trunk and cage out of his pocket and onto the nightstand next to his wand, and climbed into bed without changing out of his clothes.
