I don't own any of the characters, if I did Harry sure as hell never would have married Ginny nothing against her, but to me, the chemistry was all wrong with her.
Warning this story does have Dumbledore bashing. IF you don't like then use the back button.
Chapter 4
Letters
Ron waited until he got home and locked in his room before he opened the paper Harry gave him
This is Kind of my way of saying you are my best friend and I am always thankful that you are there.
Harry
Ron looking at the darker letters understood and grabbed his wand "Kiss" the letter changed and now read:
Ron,
You know I see you as my best friend, but for safety I can't tell you too much because of both Ginny and Dumbledore. But I will tell you what I can safely say; Sirius left me a letter telling me he believed Dumbledore set the Potters up. He kidnapped me, planned to set Sirius up to look as if he betrayed us, but his death stopped that one. Sirius bought a home for me back in our fourth year, he had wards so powerful put on it that anyone magical cannot get in to the home without me personally inviting them in and any tracker and curses like imperio are wiped out as soon as they step in the wards. Sirius felt it would be in my best interest to drop Hogwarts and use tutors. I am going to wait until I view the home but I was thinking about having you and Neville join me for the exclusive tutoring and a year of fun and no danger. I will write when I get the new home. I will be getting a new owl soon to prevent Hedwig from being in any danger.
Harry
P.S. Say the word 'Tell' to hide this. But I would prefer you destroy this NOT in a fire place.
Ron hid the letter and lit it on fire as he watched carefully as it burned. He then vanished the ashes. He laid down and carefully thought of the idea of private lessons.
Charlie had noticed his brother go up the stairs and lock the door to his room. Looking at Bill they both knew something had happened.
Neville got home and put his stuff in his room before he sat down in his armchair and read the note.
Hermione got home and took a shower, then sat down on the side of the tub and read her note from Harry.
Luna got home and went to the river before opening her letter.
I trust you with my life and I can't thank you enough for the help and support you gave me this past year. My godfather Sirius set up a home for me and suggested that I drop Hogwarts and have personal tutors for the subjects. The prophecy that Voldemort is after and my godfather died protecting us while we had it said this:
"The one with the power to vanquish the dark lord approaches born to those who have defied him 3 times and the dark lord will mark him as his equal and he will have the power the dark lord knows not for neither can live while the other survives the one to vanquish the dark lord will be born as the seventh month dies."
Dumbledore has done nothing to give me the training or skills I need to survive, since the Defense teachers keep getting worse, the only one that was any good was Remus. Our first DA teacher would hit the ceiling if someone broke wind behind him, Lockhart was plain idiotic, Remus was great, the imposter Mad-eye was cool but crazy, and we all know the bitch was plain stupid. I think I would be better off in potions without having Snape acting like an ass and Draco bugging me. Transfiguration and charms will go faster without Crabbe and Goyle slowing the class down. I honestly think Sirius was right, I will be better off being tutored. I will write you when I get to my home then you can give my bird a letter with your thoughts. I will be getting a male owl so Dumbledore can't try to capture Hedwig.
Harry
P.S hide the true letter by saying 'close' and destroy it. Not in a fireplace.
Neville smiled and shredded the Letter putting it into Trevor's cage, then headed down to talk to Gran about the idea of personal tutors.
Hermione ripped the letter up and put it in the loo before flushing it down then left the bathroom and got dressed to go out to dinner with her parents.
Luna smiled and shredded the letter before putting it in the flower beds and herb garden then she finished weeding the garden before she skipped in to the house to ask her dad about the trip he had planned for the summer.
Next morning
Ron came down to breakfast and noticed Charlie and Bill were both gone. "Where is Bill and Charlie?" "Bill got an urgent call from the goblins and left. Charlie went to meet his new boss since he was transferred to Britain a couple weeks ago. The twins have decided to move in to the shop they opened last month." Molly said as she put his food down.
Arthur came down the stairs, "Sorry Molly I am running late." He left without eating Molly put a plate of flapjacks on the table as Ginny skipped in to the room.
"Good morning Mum," Ginny smiled as she sat at her spot.
"Morning dear you seem in a good mood."
"I am the headmaster told me Harry will be asking me to date him this coming school year now that Sirius is out of the way."
"Ginny that was very unkind and I honestly doubt Sirius would have stopped Harry from dating you if he wanted to, and the headmaster can't possibility know that."
"You'll see mum. He said Harry would and he will." Ginny said smugly.
Ron snorted "Only through a love potion would Harry even look at you and if he suddenly does ask you out I will have a healer check him for a love potion. He sees you as my annoying little sister." Ron said as Ginny looked at him pissed.
"I am sorry dear but I agree with Ron, while I would love to see you two together he gives many adults the impression he is gay." Molly said as she sat down. "And Ginny this is an order, if Harry does approach you about dating you will ensure he is tested on the spot. I forbid you from dating him until he is tested."
"The headmaster said Harry will date me and I will tell the headmaster you two are trying to stop his plans."
SMACK Molly had struck Ginny across the face "If you so much as say anything like that again you will not be going to Hogwarts this year. I will homeschool your selfish ass to make sure you don't get to take advantage of a potion induced Harry." Molly yelled as Ron walked from the room and sent a letter with Pig to Bill and Remus telling them that Ginny had said.
Bill read his letter and showed Rangok the head goblin who called for Barchoke to show him. "We need to get Lord Potter away soon." They planned to keep the old fool from getting ahold of him. "The ring will protect him from willingly drinking any potion however, Dumbledore seems to be the type to be willing to stun him and pour a potion down his throat. This is what I want you to do Bill."
Remus takes the letter from pig and frowns as he reads it. Thinking fast he grabs his cloak and leaves heading toward Harry's home.
Bill and Remus show up at the Dursley's about the same time, both realizing that they were there to get Harry away, they open the kitchen door, and notice that the Dursley's are gone. They head towards the stair case when Bill knocked over a vase breaking it. Quickly repairing it, they turned and started up the stairs. They were two steps from the top when they heard "POP" the tale tell sign of apparition both quickly got to Harry's room and checked it. Harry was gone. They quickly relocked the doors and left the house, going to their respected locations Remus home and Bill to Gringotts.
Remus noticed Snape was at his home when he returned and told Snape what had gone on while showing him the letter from Ron.Top of Form
With Harry
Harry climbs back over the gate "What are you doing here? Spying for the order or something else?"
"The order doesn't know I am here Harry and Mundungus got a word about cheap dragon hide he could make a killing with should he hurry. He left just before you turned the first corner. Harry please let me take you away from here I know there are plans to control you. I want you to make your own choice and have an actual fun summer vacation. We can hit a couple theme parks and water parks for fun. We could also go camping, just relax and chill out for the summer."
"Tell me something only you and I would know." Harry said suddenly.
"Okay we met at the astronomy tower in your first year didn't really talk to each other. But we saw each other again at the quidditch world cup. And I came and watched you during all three tasks of the tri-wizard tournament. Though no one else knew I was there I had hidden under your invisibility cloak. We talked after the first one even though you were out after curfew. You opened your egg and I told you it was mermaid. We met up after the second task. You scared the hell out of me, dropping the hood of your cloak. I fell off the log I was sitting on. We talked about the pain in the ass issues with the world and what you want to do after you get out of Hogwarts we also spoke after the third task but Dumbledore prevented us from being able to talk to you for more than a few minutes you had Sirius on your legs. You want to go to Italy and study muggle art and get your masters in Defense against the dark arts."
"Good enough. So, you want to help me escape? Let's do it. Put that cloak back on and follow me upstairs to my room I will write Remus a short letter and we can put it on Hedwig then we can scram. Would you take me to Knock turn alley to a wand shop called Black soul wands? Dumbledore has a special trace on all of Olivander's wands; he can force someone in to his office with them like a portkey."
"Sure, can I suggest putting your other wand in the stand by your bed to make it look like you had no idea you were leaving."
"You got a prankster side to you. I like that idea." Harry said as he headed toward the house for the last time.
They got to Harrys room without much issue as Vernon followed him up the stairs saying that the family was going out and they were locking him in. "Fine with me." Harry said as they locked the door and a few minutes later left. Harry finished writing a note to Remus and gave it to Hedwig, placing his wand in the drawer. He walked to his friend and smiled as he tightened his straps on his backpack. They jumped when they heard a noise from down stairs. He watched as his friend put the cloak back on and apparated them away.
While Remus and Severus were trying to figure out what to do, Severus noticed Hedwig at the window. "Hedwig just showed up Remus, maybe Harry sent her to get help." Severus said as he opened the window Remus took the letter from Hedwig as she flew to get some water. He unrolled the letter he noticed right away that it was short.
Remus,
Just to let you know I am going to be disappearing from the muggles tonight. DON'T LET DUMBELDORE KNOW. A friend I trust with my life showed up and we are going to have a fun summer without Dumbledore having any say in it. Just like Sirius wanted me to. I will contact you later. I love you Moony.
Harry
"Harry says he was leaving with a friend for the summer. I am going to bring this to Bill at Gringotts. I will be back soon. I will let you know what is going on." Remus said as he grabbed his traveling cloak and left. Snape smirked and took a sip of tea
Harry walked in to Black soul wands alone. "Can I help you sir?"
"Yes, I need a wand one that can't be tracked."
"That is easy to do. I want you to walk around this room and pick up anything that calls to you. Anything and everything." The shop keeper said as he led the brown-haired teen to the room on the left. Harry walked around closing his eyes he let the magical items lead him to them. After touching all that called to him he gave them to the shop keeper.
"Let's see what attracted you shall we? Brown werewolf hair, scale of a horntail dragon, vampire blood and diamond dust. These are some powerful items and normally dangerous to mix but I know how, Cherry oak now that is rare. Werewolf fang now this is going to be an incredible wand. Perfect for defense and runes. It will take me around two hours to complete and will be thirty-two galleons."
"Okay, do I pay now or when I pick it up?"
"When you pick it up."
Harry left the store and looked to his companion and said "Want to go eat in muggle London?"
"Sounds good" the two went to Pizza Hut and ate.
"I need to go to Gringotts today so they know what is going on. Maybe I can get my eyesight fixed sooner than next week."
"Okay after we finish eating we'll go to Gringotts and then we are going to get some clothes for our summer of freedom and fun."
Remus showed up at Gringotts and asked to speak to Bill Weasley. After a few minutes he was shown to a room with Bill and two goblins. "Sorry for the interruption Bill, but Hedwig showed up at my house with this note from Harry." He gave the note to Bill who showed it the goblins.
"He is scheduled to come here next week if he is really with a trust worthy friend he will show up without problem, if he doesn't though we have to watch out for any withdraws from his accounts and hope he comes in so we can help whether we trick him into it or not, "said Rangok as he looked at the letter.
The two apparated to Gringotts with Harry wearing a hat asked the teller to see Barchoke. The teller quickly found Barchoke "Sir Barchoke, Lord Potter Black is here to see you."
"Bring him in here now!" said Rangok. The teller brought the two in to Rangok's office.
"Good afternoon Barchoke it is good to see you again." Harry said with a smile. Looking to the left he saw the other goblin and gave a bow. Then saw both Bill Weasley and Remus. "Did I interrupt a meeting?"
"One we are thrilled you interrupted" replied Rangok as he acknowledged Harrys friend.
"Oh, how so?"
"My brother Ron sent Remus and I both a note telling us what took place at breakfast this morning. Ginny is saying that the headmaster said you will be asking her to date you this year at Hogwarts. Mum said she didn't think you would. Ron said only way you would is if you are given a love potion and he would make a healer check you out. Mom agrees and Ginny said she will tell the headmaster that they are stopping her from getting you. Ron wrote us while her and mum were having a row. I was sent to pick you up and Remus went to get you as well. We were on the stairs when we heard you apparating away" Bill said as he walked towards Harry's friend. "So why the hell did you decide to help Harry have a free summer?"
"Sirius Black charmed a letter to show up to me after his death asking me to ensure Harry has a great summer. NO being locked up for more than a day. Sirius was a good man and Harry is a friend. Sorry to make you guys worry. Sirius told me Dumbledore will use any means to keep Harry in his control. I couldn't risk word getting to the headmaster."
"If Ginny is threating Ron and Mrs. Weasley with Dumbledore he might use controlling spell or potions on them like he did me." Harry said with a frown.
"I will bring them here with me to work tomorrow we can test them here" Bill said with a frown.
"And give them protection as well." Rangok said as he wrote something on a piece of parchment and gave it to an aide who quickly ran from the room.
"That is a relief. Could Gringotts help me find trusted tutors? With Ginny certain that the headmaster is right I decided I won't be returning to Hogwarts this year."
"Of course, Lord Potter Black if you could write down your desired courses and if it is a new subject let us know I will personally see to it that you have the best tutors." Rangok answered as he handed Harry a quill and parchment.
"Thank you very much. It is an honor to have you help me." Harry said with a bow, before he took the parchment and quill.

"That is all I can think of." Harry said as he handed the parchment to Rangok.
"It is refreshing to see someone thinking outside the standard curriculum. Would you like your eyes healed now or wait?"
"Now Please."
"Barchoke will take you to Ruby, and she will fix them for you. Also, if you think of any other topics you wish to have let us know. I would suggest you remove the illusion once you are done in Diagon alley."
"I will, thank you." Harry said with a bow and he and his friend followed Barchoke out of the office.
"Mr. Weasley and Mr. Lupin, I noticed Young lord Potter Black put some classes that are in both of your skill ranges would you like that opportunity?" Rangok asked the two.
Ruby quickly checked Harry over before handing him four potions to drink. She had him remove his glasses before she blew a powder into his eyes after blinking several times Harry realized he could see better than ever before. Ruby smiled and wished him a good summer.
Barchoke then led them to his office. Harry asked to withdraw money in both galleons and sterling. "I would like to schedule a meeting with you for the tutoring schedule. You might want to ask your friends if they would like to be tutored instead of Hogwarts. That is of course up to you. But how about we schedule the meeting for August 15th would that be good?" Barchoke asked he gave the sterling and galleons to Harry.
"It sounds good. I will be offering the tutoring to my friends but I will need them to have new wands and be tested for controlling spells and potions beforehand." Harry said as he put the money in his bag.
"We will take care of that Lord Potter Black. If you could make sure your muggleborn friend shows up here at Gringotts I will ensure she is tested. The others I will also personally check on. And I will put someone on ensuring they get new wands from a more trustworthy source. Have a good day."
The two left Gringotts and headed back to Black soul wands. After picking up the wand the two went shopping first stop was for a bottomless 13 compartment trunk with password lock. They shrank it and left with a feather light charm on it. Harry removed the necklace and put it in his bag with the trunk. They went to a wizarding camping store and picked up a 4 bedroom full facilities tent. They then went and found some clothes for Harry that fit him and also some that would show he is a lord. They went to the book store and found books on the subjects that he would be starting this year and some advance books in subjects that Harry had skills in already like Defense against dark arts, and potions. The two left and went to the Owl emporium and picked up two owl stands owl treats and a new brown horned owl that he named Puck. They portkeyed to Harry's new home and put the place together. It had 10 bedrooms with baths attached to each room and a spare bathroom along the hallway a large attic and large basement. The kitchen and living rooms were also quite large. They also found a library fully stocked on books which had large windows overlooking the backyard. They put the owl stands in there by the window.
"It looks like Sirius planned to take you away but Dumbledore locking him in Grimmauld place stopped that."
"What do you mean locked him in? He got out against Dumbledore's wishes to go to the Ministry."
"No Dumbledore took the ward down so he could go. He had yelled at Dumbledore about not being allowed to leave the shit hole Dumbledore said if he continued to try to get out of the wards he would order Tonks and Kingsley to arrest him."
"That old bastard he wanted Sirius dead. He forced Sirius to stay locked up as a prisoner till it was time to get him killed." Harry was pissed as they decided which rooms they wanted Harry chose a room that had a bay window with a seat. After putting his stuff away, he walked back to the library knowing his friend had left after choosing his own room. Harry was surprised to find Hedwig had arrived and was on her new perch. She had a letter from Snape on her leg. Harry took it off her and dropped in to a recliner and opened the note.
Potter,
I am truly sorry about your godfather. I also wish to tell you that I honestly am on your side. I cannot show you that I am or have been impressed with your work. Albus has been clear that I have to act like a bastard towards you or he will consider it as me trying to seduce you to the dark side, and he will throw me in Azkaban for it. You are so like your mother it isn't funny. But you are in like your father as well. I hope you can stay out of Dumbledore's control and away from Hogwarts so you can truly learn the skills you need to defeat the dark lord.
S. Snape
PS as long as you are away from Hogwarts I can offer you my assistance in different skills and techniques.
Bill and Charlie both arrived back at the Burrow about five minutes apart from each other. During dinner Bill cleared his throat. "Mum, dad my boss expressed his concerned about my family being used by someone to control Harry Potter since it is well known that Ron is best friends with him. They are worried that you know who will be after our family to force Harry to go to him, in order to protect Harry, they gave me some special items that will protect you all as long as you wear them. Including from the imperio curse. Please take them and never take them off. He gave his mum a beautiful necklace, his dad a simple gold chain, Charlie he gave a dragon armband to, Ron got a gold watch with two loins on it. And Ginny got a simple gold chain with a blue green stone on it. "I gave Fred and George theirs during lunch today. I am also receiving an award tomorrow and was asked to have you guys come with me to see me get the award."
"Of course, Bill we would be honored to come."
