Disclaimer: I own nothing! I do have a great and abiding admiration for J.K. Rowling and much love for the world and characters she has brought to life.

Me: So Harry what did you think of the first chapter?

Harry: Not to bad, but is this gonna be one of those Professor Dumbledore is evil fanfic's?

Me: Hmmm….evil is such a harsh word. How about we go with misguided?

Harry: I don't like the one's where he is evil.

Me: Okay I won't make him evil, but can I make him a little sassy?

Harry: You're going to turn him into a girl?

Me: No I'm not gonna turn him into a girl.

Harry: So you are gonna make him gay?

Me: Um I hate to break it to you but Albus jumped out of that closet a long time ago. Plus have you seen what the man wears? I mean I'm gay but I don't think I would look good in anything that came out of that man's wardrobe.

Harry: Aren't we getting a little off track here?

Me: Yeah sorry, anyway I just don't want him to be such a goodie goodie.

Harry: Fine but just remember I don't want to be granting three wishes and living in a jug.

Me: Dude! Will you let that go already? I told you that's a genie and they live in bottles not jugs. YOU ARE NOT A GENIE IN THIS FANFIC!

Harry: WOW who peed in your Wheaties this morning?

Me: Whatever! Can we please get on with this?

Harry: Okay okay okay! On with the show.


1991

An envelope came through the male slot and was quickly picked up by a boy who looked dazed for a moment.

He took in the front which was addressed to

H. Potter

3rd Bedroom

Apartment 173

215 Whitlow Rd

London, UK

He walked into the sitting room and hurled himself into the couch, all the while staring at said envelope.

Hogwarts School of

Witchcraft and Wizardry

Headmaster: Albus Dumbledore

(Order of Merlin, First Class, Grand Sorc., Chf. Warlock, Supreme

Mugwump, International Confed. Of Wizards)

Dear Mr Potter,

We are pleased to inform you that you have a place at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Please find enclosed a list of all necessary books and equipment.

Term begins on 1 September. We await your owl no later than 31 July.

Yours sincerely,

Minerva McGonagall

Deputy Headmistress

A great sigh could be heard from the sitting room as Harry James Potter read his acceptance letter from Hogwarts.

"Is it from them, Harry dear?"

"Yes Aunt Petunia, it's starting and I find I don't want to go back into that world." he replies with another great heaving sigh.

She sat down beside him on the sofa placing an arm around his already broadening shoulders. "You knew the day would come when you had to step back in with those daft people. But I'm proud of you, you have come so far and accomplished so much to change the world for the better already. Now it's time to tidy up all those loose ends."

"I guess you are right, all of my contingency plans are in place." he said as he leaned into her embrace.

She kissed the mop of unruly black hair and stood. "Come on Vernon will be home from work soon and Dudley should be walking in the door from school any second. I could use some help in the kitchen getting dinner ready. There are still a few days until your birthday, so no worrying about all of this until then.

Harry smiled up at her and took her offered hand. They walked the few feet to the kitchen where Petunia turned and smiled at him, she snapped her fingers causing pans to fly out of the cabinets and steaks to fly from the ice box.

Harry whirled toward the cabinets and with a flourish of raised hands like he was about to start conducting and symphony made the plates and silverware fly from their homes.

He and his Aunt began humming The Sorcerer's Apprentice from Disney's Fantasia as utensils and plates flew threw the air. Food prepared itself on the stove and countertops, the two of them just flicking a finger or hand this way or that.

The door behind them banged open and an excited Dudley Dursley came running into the room.

"Awe you started without me." he whispered with his chin hanging on his chest, as the last of the place settings landed on the table.

"Don't worry dear you can help me with the clean up." Petunia replied as she patted him on the head.

His head came up and a smile spread across his face. "Really!"

"Yes really, now the two of you go wash up. It will all be ready by the time you get back down."

She couldn't help but smile as the two boys ran up the stairs to the wash room. Dudley chattering away, telling Harry all about what he had done at school.

Things had certainly changed around the Dursley residence in the past ten odd years. And all because Harry had come into their lives.

She thought back to that night so many years ago and the bitter woman she was becoming. A voice she could only hear in her head began speaking to her and she new instantly that it was the child in her lap.


Flashback 1981

"Hello Aunt Petunia! I did not expect to see grief from you, I never would have believed it possible without seeing it."

"What, who, how is this possible?" she asked in a shocked whisper

"Why dear Aunt Petunia, it's possible because of magic. Let me show you how!" the adult male voice said as he stared into her eye's.

And show her he did, the bitter spiteful woman she could have been. A son that was close to being thrown into jail and a husband that was mean and vindictive.

Then came the scenes of what could be or might have been, she wasn't sure how to phrase it in order for it to make since.

Scenes of little Harry's lives the majority of them with no love only a few friends here or there.

Her heart tore open as she watched her nephew live through nightmare after nightmare, sometimes coming out on the other side stronger for it. Then there were those where he succumbed to the nightmares and became a bitter spiteful person himself.

With tears streaming down her cheeks she pulled him into a tight embrace, "What have I done Harry, how can I change it so you don't have to go through any of that?"

"You've already started, will you take a new journey with me Aunt Petunia? Will you help me change the world so that none of the evils we have seen come to pass?"

"How can I help Harry. I have no magic!" she replied with a hint of that bitterness peaking through again.

"Would you like to have magic? I can see everything from every when and where that could have been and those that are out there. I can level the playing field and give it to everyone!"

This just wasn't possible, was it? He spoke with such certainty and finality. She could do nothing but believe him especially after everything he had shown her.

"I will help you Harry and I promise to love you like my own. Where do we begin?"

End Flashback


Ten years he had been with them and so much had changed in that time. He had shown Vernon everything he'd shown her.

Harry giving them magic had been the best thing for their family. The changes that occurred that first year were simply put amazing.

She and Vernon had first had to take oaths that they would not misuse the magic they were being gifted. And Harry had been fairly blunt in letting them know that to abuse said magic would result in it's removal.

The physical changes to her were the best part, her figure had filled out so she was no longer the thin rakish woman she had been. She looked more like her sister, only her hair color being darker than Lily's.

Vernon walked through the door as she was reminiscing. He didn't even look like the same man, he'd lost every ounce of fat. It was as if the magic was bringing out the best in both of them.

"Hello pet!" he said placing a kiss on her temple. "Is dinner ready I'm famished."

"Everything is ready dear, the boys are washing up. Why don't you go do the same?"

Not only had she and her husband changed but the changes to their son, compared to what they had been shown. He was no longer the spoiled little brat she had seen in all of those other worlds. He was lean and fit and had an insatiable curiosity, one of the smartest in his school.

Due to the nature of what Harry had wanted to do they had moved into London proper. With the amount of money they were making on Harry's venture they lived in a high rise with a wonderful view of the city.

She loved it so much better that living in Surrey, here no one new them or how they had been. A clean start for all of them was what had been needed.

Vernon was now the face and voice of the company that her nephew had created.

Harry was "home schooled" or so everyone thought. They had decided that for the time being he would correspond with the company online. In actuality he spent the majority of his time working on a mirade of projects. He was planning on changing the face of the world after all.

Alicorn Enterprises the company Harry had created was a tech startup that had created a computer/cell phone app game that while fun was also a test of a person's true moral compass.

The game became a worldwide phenomenon over night. Those with a truthful, trustworthy and honorable demeanor were tagged magically by a sophisticated computer algorithm.

When the time was right Harry would gift these people with magic. They all knew this would create major chaos, but many contingency plans were in place for this eventuality.

Harry diving back into the world that had created him was part of the plan.

Even with these plans in place she was distraught that something may happen to her nephew. She would never forgive herself if she lost him to those arrogant backwards people.

And she knew with a certainty that to lose Harry would devastate her son. They had become something more than brothers and Dudley thought Harry had hung the moon and stars.

She took a deep breath and pushed these negative thoughts to the back of her mind and finished preparing dinner for her family.

Saving misguided impertinent fools and the world at large could wait for a bit.

The three men in her life raced down the stairs trying to beat each other to the table.

"Hey, no running inside!" she scolded as she laughed at their antics as they each took a seat.


A/N: So there you have the second chapter, I really hope you guys and gals are enjoying this. Because honestly it has taken on a life of it's own from where I had originally wanted to go with the story.

As you can see canon is out the window, this is completely AU. I wanted you guys to see from Petunia's point of view that this isn't the world of Harry Potter you know or think you know.

In the next chapter you will get to meet a more confident Harry and we will be headed for Hogwarts as the action gets started.

Please review and hit me with any questions you may have.

Also I am planning on making this a crossover! I'm thinking Stargate but I am open to any suggestions, just know that I need to know the source material rather well.

Again enjoy!
