The Boy from Azkaban

by Captain Lascelles

Harry is hidden at 4 Privet Drive, Little Whinging, Surrey. Nobody in the Ministry knows he is there. There is an accident, and the Ministry acts to cover it up. For the next nine and a half years, Harry suffers the consequences. Harry finally gets to Hogwarts, but he is not the person they expected. Dumbledore is horrified. Snape doesn't know what to do. Harry does.

24. Intermission

Intermission

So! Harry survived his first year. Next year is going to be different. The diary hasn't made an appearance yet, and what of the Gaunt ring, Helga Hufflepuff's cup, and Rowena Ravenclaw's diadem? We also need to have an encounter with a fangirl named Weasley. The fae-connected Miss Lovegood will also come to centre stage.

Dumbledore still has Harry's cloak. Sirius has told Harry about it. Will Harry take possession of it? The other Deathly Hallows could be revealed. Will Dumbledore get all obsessive about them?

Dumbledore is losing friends every week. Will he notice? Harry's fan club is growing. What are they going to do when Harry's story comes out?

Our hero has collected a team of competent adults who aren't impressed with Chief Weirdo Dumbledore. Will they hang together until the job is done? Will Harry survive increased pressure from Albus? The Dark Lord is contained, but his prison is made of thin glass. Will His Smokiness make another appearance?

Something new has entered the story. Who are the 'old friends'? Are they a super-secret band of squibs? Are they an organized bunch of outcasts from the wizarding world who know a lot about magic? Will they help our hero? Are they happy with their exile from the wizarding world? Maybe, they aren't. Maybe, they know too much.

Sirius is safe at Blackmoor Park. Will he find a way back from wherever his mind has gone to hide? Will help come from an unexpected source?

Will Harry continue to entertain himself by terrifying Draco until he is a nervous wreck? It's cruel, but it's also a lot of fun. While on the subject of difficult people, what is it with Ronald? Will he always be an annoying prat? Harry has subverted the twins with bags of gold, but is there something hidden driving the antagonism from Ronald?

Harry has learned to smile, but he still has a long way to go on his path to healing. What of his growing band of admirers? Will they help or hinder our hero?

What will happen to Tom? Harry would be in deep trouble without him. What is Tom's fate?
