Chapter 2 : The Failures
Harry leaned against the door frame glaring at Lily and James Potter, he turned to Vernon, eyes blazing, a question was on the tip of his tongue. He hated these people; these were the people who thought they could leave him on a door step without even a letter. Now they want to barge back into his life without a second thought. Anyone with half a mind wouldn't want them back and Harry didn't. Harry was all for dropping his mask with these strangers around and just kick them out. They might poison Dudley with their I'm-A-Potter-So-I'm-Better-Than-You complex.
"Why are they here?"
Petunia tried to calm her hysterical child, Dudley's eyes shone with anger and unshed tears. The Potters shouldn't be here! Harry had a life with them; he had a job here, a family with them and friends. They are stupid for thinking he would uproot himself and go with them. Dudley was calm and sat glaring at James.James scowled back, he was too important to be any where near these Muggles. The Muggles were tainting his heir, they need to get him out of here and teach him how to represent the Potter family, they needed the boy so their heir would be powerful, then they would show Malfoy they were the superior family.
If it was James's choice his Jessica, The Girl-Who-Lived, would be heir, but the wizarding law said the first born child is heir unless they die or officially disown their family. Dumbledore couldn't get around it, the law was old and the wizgamot wouldn't budge on it. They couldn't do anything if Harry chose to stay with the Dursleys but still claimed the Heir status.
James looked up and as shocked at what his eldest child was wearing, Harry looked like one of them muggle Goths. James fumed; he would have to change the clothes Harry wore if he was to be heir. Their child would have to meet their standards; he couldn't go representing the Potter house as a load of shambles. Harry saw what James was thinking through his eyes and stared defiantly at James and Lily, daring them to try change him. They made the choice to leave him so they had no right or say in anything he does or wears
Lily stood up from were she was sat on the loveseat next to James and moved to the indifferent teen who stood against the door way of the expensive decorated room. Harry watched carefully as she moved, when she moved to touch him he stepped back with his head held high. James watched as the child he abandoned stepped back to avoid touching his wife.
"Harry, you know what these people want"
He spoke the word people with venom, if the word was alive, it would be massacred beyond recognition. Dudley's eyes widened at the sentence, his jaw dropped and the thirteen year old stood up loudly. Harry lent over and whispered in Dudley's ear. Lily and James strained to hear the softly spoken words. Harry stood up straight, his face betraying no emotion, his eyes blazing at the intruders of his life, shooting daggers; they didn't want him then so why should they want him now?
"I'm not going"
James looked outraged that his heir had refused to meet his family, more importantly missing up a chance to meet the saviour of the wizarding world. Lily looked that she would burst into tears, her baby didn't want them. Where they not good enough?
Harry watched them uninterested and turned to leave the room. Harry had band practice, he had no time to meet the family of these failures, and they shouldn't even have family. Maybe Remus wouldn't mind him staying for a couple nights. Sirius was alright although Harry didn't trust the werewolf's mate just yet, considering he was best friends with the man who thought Harry wasn't important.
The last Harry had stayed with the couple, Remus and Sirius had taught Harry any pranks they knew. The twin teens at the joke shop, what was it called again? Weaslys Wizarding whizzes, had exchanged prank ideas with Harry. Most people on his travels were happy to teach Harry prank spells, and then Harry had returned and told them to the twins.
He told them prank spells that he thought they could do, Harry still knew loads that they couldn't do, and the twins gave him prank merchandise. He had also helped kick-start the shop, when he first came to the shop they were barely running, Harry had invested in the shop and now he got a third of the profits.
"As the Potter heir you have a obligation to spend at least two years in the Potter manor to be able to collect the inheritance"
James smirked thinking that he had trapped Harry into coming back with them, surely he needed the money? Harry watched the emotions flicker across James's face. He snarled, Harry didn't need them, didn't want them.
"Don't need it"
"But we're family"
"I live were I can, I haven't been home in months, what makes you think I need any more family than the one I have?"
"Harry please go for at least a couple days and give them a chance" This time it was Uncle Vernon that had spoken amidst Harry and James's arguing.
Striding down the hallway, up the stairs and into the room where his Aunt and Uncle kindly kept his belongings, magical and non-magical alike, he shrunk everything with a wave of his hand then shoved them roughly into the many pockets lining the jeans he was wearing. Harry then remembered that it was his cousin's birthday tomorrow and he wouldn't be there. His heart twanged, he hated breaking a promise, especially one as important as this one.
He entered his cousin's room, leaving money, a present and a card. The present was something from India; it was a necklace that had belonged to the Ambassador there. It would show that Dudley was a relative of Harry and he would be treated like a king in different countries, if he ever visited them.
Harry stalked over to the railing of the stairs, hearing the murmurs of a muffled argument below, Lily and Petunia were probably arguing, they never did like each other. He jumped over the high railing, landing crouched on his feet.
Lily screamed and James gasped when Harry had landed infront of them bypassing the stairs all together. Dudley had the same look of awe on his face as he did every time Harry jumped over the railing. Harry had dropped 12ft in the air. Harry strolled over and hugged Aunt Petunia as well as Uncle Vernon. When he got to Dudley he pressed a ring into his hand and whispered into Dudley's ear.
"The ring connects to the one I wear. Say my name and you can talk to me, say my name twice then you can see me, say my name three times and I'll be there straight away"
Dudley nodded staring at the ring; the ring was onyx black and was a mix of masculine and feminine. The ring would be the only connection to brother for a long time. Dudley was anxious; he and Harry had only ever been separated for a week. This would be his first time on his own since he was 2.
James cleared his throat impatiently by the fire place, waiting was not his forte. Judging by the fact that the Failures were standing by the fire, they were flooing to where ever they were going. Harry strolled over to James and Lily taking as much time as he wanted.
"Grab a handful of floo powder, throw it into the fire and call 12 Grimmauld Place, remember it" James grumbled gruffly.
Harry did as he was instructed, there was a feeling of spinning then Harry gracefully stepped out of the fire place into the tattered remains of what was once a beautiful room. It could do with a good scrubbing and a bit of dusting too. Harry glanced around to get a good look of everything but most of his sight was blocked. The room was crowded with brunettes, a bluenette and a lot of red-heads.
