Warning: Little smut
It was time for a change. I couldn't continue to be blind anymore. Cedric was dead. Had I been more prepared or figured out the pieces to the puzzle earlier he might not be. The time for holding back was over. It was time to change, starting with my living situation. The Dursleys loved to degrade, belittle, and beat me. However they liked money more. I went downstairs cautiously. I was still healing from my last beating.
" What do you want boy?", Vernon ground out. " I would like to propose an idea I have had. I will pay you 1500 pounds per month that I am here in exchange for my freedom. I will still cook and I will tend to the garden. Other than that I am to be left alone. I can have the money ready after I make a trip to Gringotts tomorrow. Also my room will be off limits. Do you agree to my proposal?", I asked. Vernon's beady little eyes went wide. " Agreed.", he said readily.
I went back up to my room and went to bed. First thing the next morning, I quickly made breakfast, then went back to my room and called for Dobby. He popped me to the entrance of the bank. I went in and immediately recognizing Griphook headed towards him. He was surprised I remembered him. I asked him if I could be looked over by goblin healers. Again he looked surprise. He led me to a room that had a single bed in it. The healer came in and did a full diagnostic scan. He cursed then left the room returning moments later with three more goblins. They chanted around me and I felt my scar burn. I could feel it begin to bleed, then quite abrubtly a black smoke like substance came out and one goblin stepped forward with crystal container. The black cloud slipped inside it. They told me it was a horcrux made by Voldemort. They would use this one to track others.
They then began chanting again and I could feel my very bones realign themselves. I closed my eyes as pain dwindle to nothing as I was healed. When I opened them again I could see without my glasses. I thanked the healers and stood up. Blimey I was taller. At least 6 feet now. I grinned. I went back to Griphook and asked for an inheritance test. It showed that I could claim my Lordships and become emancipated. So I became Lord Potter, Peverell, Slytherin, Ravenclaw, Gryffindor, Hufflepuff. I wasn't able to get the Peverell ring as it had been missing, but still signed the paperwork for the Lordship anyway. I was the richest wizard in history and owned quite a bit of property. My Lordship would be kept private until I deemed it otherwise, but I could now do magic outside Hogwarts since the trace was now off me. Griphook also told me of the supposed prophecy. That pissed me off, because I knew that Dumbledore knew about it and would never tell me, though I had asked repeatedly why I was being targeted. I decided not think of it for now. One could argue it had already been fullfilled anyway plus I no longer was marked as his equal.
I also got to read my parent's wills. I was never suppose to go to the Dursleys. I had figured as much. I had the goblins execute the wishes in the will. Remus would have quite a bit of money now as well as Severus along with books for each of them. I had them send one copy of the will to Amelia Bones as the will said that Peter was their secret keeper.
I had some gold converted to 5,000 pounds. I would stay with the Dursleys for now. I got a wallet, money pouch, and debit card all tied to my accounts and blood tied to me. I would no longer have to come to the bank to make a withdrawl. I felt great as I left the bank and immediately sought out a new wardrobe. I got robes for school, everyday wear, and some dress robes as well. I got one outfit I could change into now and it wasn't until then that I got a good look at myself. I was wearing brown dragon hyde boots, black leather pants, silver short sleeve button up shirt, and an emerald green sleeveless robe. My hair was still untidy, but without the glasses, my scar, and my extra height, I looked different. I smirked. By the end of the day I would really look different.
The next stop was to visit a barber. The woman there had me take a potion to grow my hair out to my shoulders. It didn't quite look right so she cut it short once more and used a simple spell that made it spikey. This was perfect as it hid my naturally untidy hair. She then put silver highlights in and told me they would remain that way until I came back. I then went to a magical tattoo shop and got a black and purple dragon with green eyes. It looked like a real dragon and could even move to different parts of my body. I got an emerald stud for one ear and a diamond in the other. I also bought some black leather fingerless gloves, two dark brown leather bracelets that I had the Hogwarts crest burned into one and the Potter crest on another, and silver choker with a ruby in the middle.
I then got all my books and other necessities before having Dobby pop me back to my relatives. I asked him to bond with me and he did very enthusiastically. Vernon wasn't home yet, so I took out my wand and began making changes to the room. I banished all the trash, including the furniture, and scourgified the whole room. There was nothing wrong with the wood floor, but the walls I changed to forest green. I took out a shrunken rug and enlarged it enough to where it covered most of the floor. I took out the shrunken furniture I got. There was a king bed, 2 nightstands, a wardrobe, and a desk with a chair. By the time I was done it looked like a proper room. I then cleaned out my trunk and reorganized it.
As soon as Vernon got home I gave him the money and went back to my room, where I had a meal waiting for me courtesy of Dobby. It was the middle of July, so I figured I would probably be here another month at least. The next day I started going to the local dojo. I had Dobby pop me into an alley nearby as I was sure the house was being watched. Since I could memorize the moves and learned quickly, within 2 weeks I had my black belt in karate. The next two weeks I did tae kwon do. I also practiced meditating which led me to my core and helped me achieve occulmency.
It was now 2 weeks before school started. My physique had changed. I hadn't grown any taller, but I now had broad shoulders and lean muscles. I had started going for a run in the early morning starting the same time as the defense classes, but wore a small glamour, so as to look like what I use to, then gradually let it fade so my appearance wouldn't come as such a shock. I finally got a note saying that I would be picked up that evening. To my surprise it was Remus and Mad Eye who came to get me.
" Wow cub. You look so much better.", Remus said when he saw me. " I feel better.", I replied. They apperated me to a street with houses and handed me a piece of paper that had 12 Grimmauld Place written on it. The paper then turned to ash and when I looked up a house that wasn't there before appeared. We went inside. The place was dark and rather depressing.
" Just go up the stairs. The third door to the right is where you'll be be with Ron. We have a meeting right now. Hedwig is already here.", Remus said. I nodded and went upstairs. I had sent Hedwig a week earlier to Sirius. I opened the third room door and saw a naked Ron thrusting inside a naked Hermione. I quietly closed the door and went to another room while they shagged. The room was dusty and dirty. I locked the door. A quick scourgify took care of most of dust and dirt and I sat down heavily, trying to get the image of a naked Ron and Hermione's bouncing breasts out of my mind.
I had never wondered about sex. I had usually had too many other things on my mind. Now though...while the scene had been erotic and left me hard, I couldn't really imagine doing that with anyone. I unzipped my jeans and pulled them along with my underwear down enough so that my erection sprang free. I took hold of my rather thick and long member and began to stroke up and down. I had never done this before, but damn did it feel good. An image of Daphne Greengrass naked and taking me into her mouth made me quicken my pace. Her beautiful pale skin and breasts just big enough to hold... I came quickly, shuddering with the release. Well fuck. I banished the mess and pulled my jeans and underwear back on.
I had always secretly liked Daphne. She was quiet, intelligent, and beautiful. I really don't know what possessed me to ask Cho Chang out last year. Yes she was pretty, but I liked Daphne more. I shook the thoughts from my head. I found the bathroom and washed up. I then knocked on the door to mine and Ron's room this time before just entering.
" Come in.", Ron said. I entered and was immediately assaulted by Hermione. I hugged her back then quickly stepped away. " It's so good to see you Harry.", she said. " Yeah mate.", Ron put in. I nodded and sat down on the extra bed. " I love your new look. And I see you finally grew.", Hermione said eying me in appreciation. " Thanks.", I muttered. They clued me in as to why they didn't write and the whole Order of Pheonix thing. I told them I understood and left it at that. A few minutes later we were called to dinner.
Remus, Sirius, Dumbledore, Snape, and Molly were there. " Good evening Professor Snape, Mrs. Weasley, Sirius, Remus, Professor Dumbledore.", I said. Everyone except for Remus looked at me in shock. I felt a brush against my mind. I arched an eyebrow at Professor Dumbledore.
" That's not very nice.", I said to him. " Where is your scar Harry?", Dumbledore asked sharply. I shrugged my shoulders. " The goblins removed the horcrux.", I said before sitting down. There were sharp intakes of breath. " How did you get to Gringotts? It's not safe for you to be on your own right now." Dumbledore said. " That's really none of your business sir. What I find more interesting is that you didn't seem too surprised I was a horcrux in the first place.", I said calmly. " I had suspected, but short of killing you and hoping the horcrux would die and you come back, I had no other way of getting rid of it. I didn't know that the goblins had a way.", Dumbledore replied stiffly.
I just shrugged again and turned to Professor Snape. " How has your summer been Professor? I do hope the Dark Lord hasn't had you too busy.", I asked while buttering a piece of bread. " It has been dull, but I do believe it to be getting more interesting in the future.", Snape said. " Indeed.", I replied. " So Sirius I take it that this is your place?", I asked my godfather. He frowned. " Yes. I had to sneak away to Gringotts and claim my Lordship to gain access. I hate it here and wish I could burn it to the ground. Everytime I have to listen to my mother's portrait brings back childhood memories I'd rather not see.", Sirius said. I looked at his face and knew exactly what had happened. His mother had abused him. I looked at Snape and saw his eyebrows rise in surprise before his face went neutral again. So Snape had been abused as well. Just another of my suspicions confirmed.
" I understand.", I said softly. Sirius and Snape both looked at me in alarm. I gave a small shake of head. There was other company still present. I would talk to them later.
" Well Severus. I think it's time for us to be going.", Dumbledore said. Snape got up and followed the old fool out the door. There wasn't much conversation as we ate and all too soon it was time for bed. The next morning I was up before anyone else. I made breakfast and met Kreature. He was looking at me with something close to hope in his eyes.
" Is there something I can help you with Kreature?", I asked. He seemed to struggle with himself. " Yes half-blood Potter. Regulus gaves me a task to do, but Kreature failed him. I's overhear yous last night. I's think you can destroy it.", he said. He then handed me a silver locket that had an snake in the shape of a S on it. I could feel the darkness in it. " Can you pop us to Gringotts?", I asked. He nodded and I put the food on stasis. We popped over to the bank and I quickly went inside and to Griphook.
" Ah. Lord Potter. I am glad you are here. Since you were last here, three more horcruxes have been eliminated. One was in the Peverell ring, one in Hufflepuff's cup, and one was in Voldemort's snake Nagini. We stunned the snake and did the ritual, so she is unharmed and the ring is now safe for you to have. The cup was here at the bank and is now in your vault.", Griphook said and produced the ring. I put it on with the Potter ring and the two melded together. " That is great news.", I said. " Also we have located another at Hogwarts, but have been unable to obtain it.", Griphook said. " I will ask Dobby to see if maybe he could find it. Is there a place in here that will allow a house-elf to pop inside?", I asked. " Yes. Right this way.", Griphook said and led me to a small alcove.
I called for Dobby and told him what he was looking for. I told him it would have the same magical signature as the diary and the locket I had. I had figured out the diary was one shortly after Dobby popped away and was back five minutes later with a box. He told me he had noticed this in the come and go room. I opened the box and saw Ravenclaw's diadem. I thanked Dobby and took the diadem and locket to Griphook. They clensed the items and I made a duplicate necklace for Kreature while leaving the originals in my vaults.
Kreature was waiting for me outside and I slipped the necklace on him and told him it was done. Kreature nodded and thanked me before popping us back to Grimmauld. Already the place seemed lighter somehow. We had only been gone 30 minutes and no one was up yet. Just as I finished breakfast people started trickling in. The rest of the day was spent cleaning. I pulled Sirius to the side at one point and casually suggested that he cut his mother's portrait out of the wall and then just repair the wall. Maybe he could put her portrait along with others, in a room specifically for them. He loved this idea and immediately set to work on it.
By the time we left for school Grimmauld was clean and magnificent once more. I got a compartment to myself since Ron and Hermione were prefects. I was quietly reading when Draco came along.
" Poor Potter. All alone now.", Draco sneered. I turned the page of the book I was reading. " Hello, Cousin. Did you have a nice summer?", I asked politely. Draco was a git, but he was family. Draco paused and really looked at me. " It was as expected. You look different. What happened to your scar?", Draco asked, sitting down across from me. " It's gone now. Come to find out it was some type of dark taint or something. Goblins healed me right up. Now I'm just a regular student.", I said. " You're still the boy-who-lived no matter what.", Draco pointed out. I sighed. " Unfortunately.", I agreed. We sat in companionable silence. After a few minutes Draco got up. " I have to check back in with the prefects.", he told me. I nodded. " Congrats on that Draco. Maybe we can study together sometime. The rest of your friends are invited too of course.", I said. He just nodded and left.
The rest of the ride was uneventful. Before I knew it the first years were sorted and the feast was on. When it was over we met our new DADA teacher, Professor Umbridge. The Ministry was interfering with Hogwarts. I would see how it played out. If she needed to be removed she would be. I went with everyone else to our common room and went straight to bed. The next morning I was up before anyone else and went outside to do my exercises. After a little while I had to take my shirt off as it was getting hot. I quickly went through my karate moves before moving on to tae kwon do. To finish, I did one lap around the lake. I had gotten up at 5 and it was now 7:30. I picked up my shirt and started toward the castle when I saw every female staff member and some female students, including Daphne, staring at me in lust.
If I hadn't been red from exercise I would have been from seeing the looks in their eyes. I quickly put on my shirt and jogged back to my dorm. I took a quick shower, dressed, and was at the table to eat breakfast precisely at 8. We got our timetables and I was thankful that I had everything I would need in my dragon leather bookbag. We had Potions first thing. Severus was surprising almost nice. He didn't berate me or Neville and we ended up with a useful potion. The rest of the day went by peacefully. When it was time for dinner though I went to the Slytherin table and sat next to Draco.
" Hey cousin. Good first day back?", I asked as I filled my plate with food. The whole table looked at me as if I grew a second head. " It was alright.", Draco said slowly. " Good. I plan on studying in the library after dinner. You want to join? The rest of you are most welcome as well.", I added to the rest of the table. Daphne looked at me in interest. I blushed and looked away. " Sure.", Draco said as he caught the blush Daphne caused. " Cool. See you then Draco.", I said before leaving the table and making my way to the library.
Draco did show up along with the entire 5th year Slytherins. Draco and Daphne took a seat by me. Hermione and Ron were there as well, but further down the table. We chatted quietly and did our homework. As we did our homework I felt a hand brush over the erection I had sported since Daphne sat next to me. I looked at Daphne and she smirked at me as she slowly stroke me through my pants. I groaned inwardly. I looked at the time and told everyone we had an hour to curfew. Everyone gathered their things and left quickly except for Daphne. She waited for me. When I came close to her she took my hand and headed up to the 7th floor. After pacing back and forth 3 times a door appeared. She ushered me inside and closed the door.
I turned to ask her what was going on but stopped as she was stripping off her clothes. I gulped. She moved forward and I stepped back then fell onto a bed. She kissed me and I groaned. She made quick work of my clothes. She travelled down my body and then she took my erection in her mouth. I sucked in a breath and closed my eyes in bliss. She then came back up and positioned herself over me. Slowly she lowered herself down. I felt her hymen break and she froze, closing her eyes against the pain. I sat up and pressed gentle kisses along her neck. She started to relax and dropped the rest of the way down onto me. I kissed her softly and massaged her breasts.
She began moving slowly against me. I sucked on her earlobe then traveled down to her nipples. She moved faster. I flipped her onto her back and began thrusting in and out of her. We came together quickly. I collapsed to the side and gathered her in my arms.
" Will you be my girlfriend?", I asked when I got my breathing under control. " Yes.", she whispered and we fell asleep.
