Harry Potter and Power of the Millennia.
Harry sat in his compartment on the Hogwarts Express with a dark cloud over his head. Ron and Hermione were in the prefect's cabin, Ginny wasn't speaking to him and Neville and Luna were having some private time elsewhere.
Harry actually preferred it this way. If they weren't around, he didn't have to think about how guilty he felt about what he was going to do. Harry sealed the letter he'd been writing and wrote "To Bill and Fleur" on the front. Harry looked about to make sure nobody was watching and sent it off with Hedwig.
Harry relaxed slightly. He just hoped nobody read the letter before he finished his plan.
Or more accurately, started his plan. Harry had already spent the last few days of the term in the Library. He broke into the restricted section three times in that period. Several books proved very useful to his plots. Harry had copied down useful tidbits and took diligent notes. Harry wasn't sure if Hermione would be angry or proud. Probably angry.
Harry twirled his wand through his fingers. He was very deep in thought. Horcruxes, adventure and thoughts of Ginny and Dumbledore all bounded through his head. Somehow his mind found it had the ability to grieve, fantasize, plot and wonder at the same time.
'Soon, Voldemort. Soon you will die.' Harry thought with a smirk.
Harry spent the rest of the train ride alone and in silence. Hours later he arrived at King's cross station. Harry waited until nobody was watching and slipped on his invisibility cloak. He shrunk his trunk, made it light and dropped it in his pocket. Harry didn't want Ron and Hermione following him to Privet Drive. He didn't want them to come with him.
Ron and Hermione came up to the Dursleys and asked if they had seen Harry. Uncle Vernon snapped at them and they scuttled off. Once Harry was sure his friends were gone, He removed his cloak and approached the Dursleys.
"Sorry I'm late. One of the Professors gave me last minute homework." HArry lied.
Vernon made a "Harumph" sound and lead him to the car.
The car ride was made in complete silence. Dudley reached for the radio once but Petunia slapped his hand.
The car pulled up the drive and parked. Vernon unlocked the door and gestured for him to get in and do his business. Harry left his trunk in his pocket and took three steps into the house.
"Thanks." Harry said with a grin. "See you never!" Harry called and walked out the door of the house again.
Harry walked a few blocks away from the house and stuck out his wand. BANG! The knight bus appeared a moment later.
"'Ello lad!" The new conductor greeted him happily. "Where ye off to then?"
Harry smiled. "I'd like to visit The library of Ecnegilletni in Munich if you please. I don't know if the Knight bus travels that far, but as close as you can get would be nice."
"The Knight Bus goes ev'rywhere an' we'd be happy t' take ye to Munich. It is a mite bit expensive tho just to warn ye. We hafta pay a galumphing big fee t' travel internationally y know." The conductor said. "By t' way, I'm 'Enry Barkins, temporary conductor o' the Knight bus. Welcome aboard and we'll take ye' anywhere ye' wanna go."
Harry climbed aboard.
"No bags then? Well that jus' makes m' job easier. We should be in Munich by dawn or so. Jus' sit tight and enjoy th' ride." Henry announced.
Harry climbed into a bed and the Knight Bus shot off with a bang. Harry spent an extra Galleon to buy a dreamless sleep potion. It was money well spent. Harry went into a pleasant rest while his bed slid around the bus.
Meanwhile, at the Burrow, Bill and Fleur had just received his letter.
"Ve 'ave a letter from 'Arry." Fleur said, sorting through the morning mail. She slid the letter across the table so he could open it.
"Why would Harry write to us?" Bill wondered. Bill cleared his throat, opened it and read.
Dear Fleur and Bill,
I am very sorry to inform you that I cannot make it to your wedding. I do hope that you will forgive me. I hope that you are not hurt or offended in any way, as that is not my intention. I wish you both the best of luck in your new joining and give my deepest regards to all present.
Sincerely,
Harry Potter.
"What could he be doing that would cause him to miss our wedding I wonder?" Bill asked nobody in particular.
Bill and Fleur exchanged a glance. The same thought and look of shock passed over them at the exact same time as the gravity of the letter struck home.
"'E didn't!" Fleur squealed in horror.
"No way!" gasped Bill in an Awestruck voice.
"We need to alert the Order!" Bill exclaimed before Flooing to Grimmauld Place.
Meanwhile, back on the Knight Bus, Harry had just reached his destination.
"Ye' know 'ow t' get in righ'?" Henry asked.
"Course. Just push in the off color brick and speak the entry phrase." Harry replied.
"All righ'. Off ye' go then!" Henry beamed at him. The Knight bus vanished with a bang.
The Library of Ecnegilletni was located in a small two story brick house in downtown Munich. The building had enough expansion spells on it that it could fit The Library of Congress, Mall of America and Buckingham Palace inside it with room to spare. Harry walked up to the door and pushed in the brick that had a slight greenish tint.
"Mein Name ist Harry Potter. Ich komme Suchenwissen." Harry said into the brick.
"Willkommener Harry Potter. Das Wissen, das Sie suchen, ist an Ihren Fingerspitzen." The brick replied.
The brick popped back into place and the door to centuries worth of knowledge opened. Without hesitation, Harry walked inside.
A/n: I hope you like this. I figure I need to make an attempt at a post HBP fic. Enjoy!
