'Thoughts'
Vernon Dursley was not having a good day. So it's only natural that he would find the freak in his home.
"What are you doing here- boy!" Vernon yelled his face red with anger.
"Ah- Mr. Dursley-" Dumbledore began.
"And you what are you doing here!" "You told us the boy wouldn't be back for another month." Vernon yelled some more.
"Harry here has been suspended for the remainder of the year." Dumbledore stated calmly.
"You want me to allow more freakishness, in my home!" "I won't have it!' Vernon yelled.
"Mr. Dur-" Dumbledore began.
"This freak is just a waste," "We can't afford this."
"Mr. Dursley," Dumbledore shouted eyes aglow with power.
Vernon instantly shut up and let out a whimper.
"Harry is not allowed to do any magic over the course of the summer holidays," Dumbledore said.
Vernon got a maniacal gleam in his eyes.
"I promise you will be fully compensated," Dumbledore stated clearly.
"Of course Mr. Tumbledore,"
"Boy- cupboard! Now!" Vernon yelled.
"Yes Uncle Vernon," Harry replied meekly.
3 August, 1992
Harry was having a miserable summer. He had been relocated to the cupboard, been treated worse then a house elf, had no friends. Heck- he hadn't even seen Dobby.
Today though he got to go to Diagon Alley, to buy his school supplies. His thought's were interrupted by a pounding on the cupboard.
"Boy- breakfast." Vernon yelled.
"Coming- Uncle Vernon." Harry yelled back.
After cooking a mouth watering meal, one of which Harry wasn't allowed to eat. Instead he was served a singular slice of toast.
Harry quickly ate his fill and walked outside, to hail the knight bus.
"Welcome to the Knight Bus, emergency transport for the stranded witch or wizard. just stick out your wand hand, step on board) and we can take you anywhere you want to go. My name is Stan Shunpike, and I will be your conductor this evening."
"I would like to go to the leaky cauldron." Harry said.
"Woss your name?" Stan asked quickly.
"James Evans sir."
"That would be eleven Sickles," said Stan, "but for firteen you get 'or chocolate, and for fifteen you get an 'ot water bottle an' a toothbrush in the color of your choice."
"Just the bus fair sir." Harry said, climbing onto the bus.
"This is our driver, Ernie Prang. This is James Evans, Ern." Stan said.
"Take 'er away, Ern," said Stan, sitting down in the armchair next to Ernie's. There was another tremendous BANG, and the next moment Harry found himself flat on a bed, thrown backward by the speed of the Knight Bus. Pulling himself up, Harry stared out of the dark window and saw that they were now bowling along a completely different street. Stan was watching Harry's stunned face with great enjoyment.
No matter how many times Harry rode this death trap. Harry still found the entire thing terrifying.
When Harry finally arrived, he quickly got off the Knight bus and went to Gringotts.
Harry walked up to the teller's desk to go into his vault.
"I would like to visit my vault."Harry said, holding out his key.
A short surly Goblin hobbled over.
"Mr. Potter, I am Gornuk your vault manager." "There is a few things we need to discuss, if you will come with me.
Harry followed Gornuk into a small office.
"Mr. Potter, as you have recently come into your inheritance-" Gornuk began.
"-How for say did this come to pass?" Harry interrupted.
Gornuk let out a low chuckle, "Why by your marriage of course."
"Marriage?' Harry questioned.
"Why yes- to one Ginevra Molly Potter nee Weasley," Gornuk stated.
"So marriage grants the age of majority?" Harry puzzled.
"Why yes Mr. Potter."
"So just to clarify- no trace,"
"No trace." Gornuk repeated.
Harry rubbed his hands together; "Alright then- from now on I would like all financial information, forwarded to me alone. Not my wife."
"I would also like to make a anonymous donation of one thousand galleons to the Weasley family vault."
After Harry had obtained all his supplies, He apparated back to Privet Drive.
"I'm moving back into Dudley's second bedroom," Harry informed Vernon.
"You will do nothing-." Vernon started.
"Silencio," Harry said lazily cutting off Vernon's tirade.
"As you can see, I can do magic, so I am in charge."
With another flick of his wrist Harry lazily floated his stuff up to his new room. Harry then expanded and repaired everything in his room, before lying down in his new king sized bed.
12 July, 1992
"Ah- Quirinus, care for a lemon drop." Dumbledore asked,
"N-n-no sir," Quirrel said shakily.
"S-s-sir I c-can't return this year," Quirrel stammered.
"Why ever not?" Dumbledore asked.
"I-I don't feel safe, with Potter here,"
"Very well, Quirinus," " I already have the perfect job candidate." Dumbledore said happily.
"Who sir?"
Dumbledore's eyes gave off their ever benevolent twinkle. "Gilderoy Lockhart."
29 August, 1992
Ginny Weasley was having a strange summer. It all started off when Ron came home. All he did was complain about Harry Bloody Potter "The Dark Lord". Honestly if she didn't know better, she would say Ron had a crush on him.
Harry Potter seemed to occupy a lot of her thoughts these days. With how much Ron complains about him, that was a given though. He actually got suspended, because he claimed a professor had You-Know-Who on the back of his head. Ron always claimed he was a attention seeker, but something didn't make sense. You don't claim something so easily disprovable without actually believing it.
Things only got more confusing when they got to diagon alley. At Gringrott's they had received an anonymous donation of ONE THOUSAND GALLEONS. So of course Ginny got a new wand; Holly 10 ½ inches and a phoenix feather core. Then Ollivander informed Ginny that her wand was the brother wand of You-Know-Who's and Harry Bloody Potter.
Then when Ginny got home that night, She found a plain looking diary in one of her books. The only difference was it wrote back. Tom quickly became Ginny's best friend. He understood her when no one else could. Soon she would go to Hogwarts, and together they would figure out the enigma that is Harry Potter.
A/N: In my story the wand is generally based around the soul, because Harry and Ginny have the potential for a soul bond they're wands are near identical. In canon she used an ancestor's wand. Next chapter we have Ginny meeting Harry, and possibly the sorting. Should be up by friday.
