We look to Black Lake where we see Four people sitting together. Two males, two females.

The males being Harry Potter, and Blaise Zabini

The females being Tracey Davis and Daphne Greengrass

Now you may be asking how these four became friends in the first place

Well it started in Fifth year, after Harry wasn't contacted by any of his friends or relatives. Of course he kept in touch with Sirius, but the man could only write little, as he was still on the run.

Yeah that still hadn't been resolved for some reason.

Anyway

In this story, Harry never encounters a dementor with Dudley. Instead the dementor never comes after him.

He was stuck inside the entire time. No one to really contact him.

Pretty much let's just skip to the Hogwarts Express

Harry had been looking for Ron and Hermione but for some reason they'd still been avoiding him. So he sat with three other people…

Those three being Tracey Davis, Blaise Zabini and Daphne Greengrass.

Thus developing a good friendship over sixth year, even if they were in rival houses.

At the moment the four were enjoying peace at the lake. Relaxing and reading books.

I know, surprising for Harry Potter to read a book, but his friends knocked some sense into him.

"Are Weasley and Granger still avoiding you?" Daphne asked, disgust laced in her voice

"They've started to approach me more again… I don't intend to be friends with them… but if they do offer to help, I might let them" Harry responded

"Are you hearing yourself, Harry?" Tracey moved closer to him "you could just be walking blindly into a trap!"

Harry sighed "I guess I could… but it'd still be good to give them a ch-" he was cut off

"They've clearly shown they can't be loyal to you Harry! For fucks sake they abandoned you when your name was pulled out of the Goblet of Fire! And then summer of fifth year they didn't say ANYTHING to you!" Daphne scolded

Harry sighed "I've also noticed that they blindly follow Dumbledore… is that really bad?"

"Dumbledore is a good man… but he's good at manipulating people…" Blaise spoke up

Harry sighed as he lay back.

"He set me a mission… for after this year…" Harry trailed off

"What's it to do with?" Tracey tilted her head as she looked at Harry

Harry sighed "Please… don't reveal anything to anyone else…"

"We won't. Promise" Daphne interjected

"Voldemort made something known as Horcruxes…" Harry started

A collective gasp was heard from Blaise and Daphne

"But… those are the darkest of magic! Splitting your soul like that…" Daphne trailed off with a shocked expression

"What are Horcruxes?" Tracey asked

"It's… splitting your soul into items… making you immortal til those objects are destroyed… Voldemort made 7 of them…" Harry trailed off

"So you need to destroy them?" Tracey asked

"That's the only way he's going to be killed… So yes" Harry answered

"Would you let us come with you?" Blaise asked

"It's too dangerous for any of you… especially if I encounter him… I need you guys to be safe… and keep an eye for Death Eaters and their juniors" Harry responded

"But Harry…" Tracey trailed off

"I don't want any of you getting hurt, please Tracey, Daphne and Blaise…" Harry pleaded

"Harry… Keep in touch if you can…" Blaise gave in

"Goddamnit Harry! I understand… good luck" Daphne finalized

Tracey hugged Harry "Stay safe Harry, and please owl me when you can"

Daphne and Blaise smirked at the two and stood up and walked away

Tracey pulled away from Harry and looked into his eyes

"Stay safe… Please Harry…" She pleaded

Harry hugged her "Don't worry Tracey... I'll try to as best as I can"

"You better come back in one piece, idiot" Tracey playfully punched Harry in the chest

"I will" Harry replied softly

Fast forward to the summer everything happens, Ron and Hermione just come along with Harry cause they decided to without asking him cause author power.

Wha-

Lazy writing

Anyway

Harry, Hermione and Ron were in a forest with the locket after apparating away after stealing the locket from Umbitch (cause she is a bitch)

"So, how do we destroy it?" Ron asked as they stared at it laying on the ground

"According to a book… it says we have to destroy it using the killing curse… fiendfyre or Basilisk Venom…" Harry looked down at the locket

"So you've been reading books on dark magic too?" Ron changed the topic and stared at Harry

"Is it not ok for me to do so to defeat this dark lord?" Harry asked

"Harry, those books contain so many dangerous things! You could turn into a dark lord yourself!" Hermione exclaimed

"How?" Harry asked

"Well, you could learn some of the spells and magic from it and you could use it!" Hermione scolded

"I'm not stupid Hermione, I know what I'm doing" Harry muttered

"Well maybe you should think before you do things! Maybe then you'll end this war!" Hermione shouted

"Well, if you don't agree with the way I go about things then just leave!" Harry shouted back

"FINE!" Hermione shouted as she apparated away

"Let me guess, you also want to leave since Dumbledore was paying you to be my friend?" Harry asked Ron directly

"How did you know!?" Ron exclaimed in a perplexed manner

"You just confirmed it, and Gringotts Mail has been coming to me. I plan to visit them soon. Anyway, Go on then, leave. Clearly you weren't ever brave enough…" Harry trailed off angrily

Ron apparated away with a huff, leaving Harry alone.

Harry looked at the locket and pulled his wand up and he softly uttered the words he dreaded… "Avada Kedavra…" and channeled the hate he had

A quick green light shot towards the locket and struck it. A loud screeching sound was heard from it. Harry looked at it and grabbed it.

He didn't feel any more negative auras around it.

He put the locket in his pocket and packed up his sole equipment and used a shrinking charm to place the rest into his pocket.

He apparated away to find a better spot to camp out for now, but ended up stumbling into a small town… the town was peaceful and had a calm atmosphere around it.

He walked through the town… looking around at everything as people pointed to him and whispered in amazement. Until he came upon a house that was one of the more… upper class houses.

He knocked on the door and someone opened it…

He looked at the person and it was someone who he never met. Harry was confused

"The famous Harry Potter? What can I do for you my friend?" The man asked

"I-I don't know… I was drawn here after I apparated to this town…" Harry stuttered at the start

"Well… let me introduce myself…" the man started
