Chapter 2 - I'm not gonna take any shit from you asshole~Seven years later~Today was what I could best guess to be my twelfth birthday, the previous week so many owls had been flooding the house with letters I was actually tempted to try and refuse the invitation just to find out how Bumbledork would react, I decided against it afterwards, if I didn't go I'd be stuck with this lot of losers.I'd slowly worn the Duresly's down, they would beat me and I would remove the hyper gravity I had placed on myself and would beat the shit out of Vernon mainly, Petunia was just a bitch and never tried anything, Dudley was just a bloody little git and I instilled a little dragon fear in him.I had almost perfected it too, probably just need to acquire some dragon leather or something to enforce the final changes.But enough of that at the moment Vernon's packed everyone up and we've rented this absurd little lighthouse to get away from the owls, I'm just waiting for Hagrid to show up.“Vernon honey, little Dud-kins wants to know why we have to stay in this horrid place” Petunia was saying as I stopped thinking about the past and came back to the present. *oh just great now their staring at me again* “What the fuck are you looking at?” I said getting up off the floor were I'd been sitting so Vernon wouldn't think I was vulnerable enough to bother trying something. “We're looking at you boy, it's your fault we're here” Vernon growled out *oh now that's a laugh* “like hell it is you dumb shit, if you had just let me answer that letter you wouldn't be stuck in this mess to begin. And don't you start blaming those letters on me, I don't know who sent them.” I said cutting off his next complaint.“Well then boy you're sleeping on the floor tonight “Vernon looked happy with himself as he said this“Right ya stupid pig, like you'd have it any other way. Anyways I'll be outside I'm expecting someone, so don't bother looking for me tomorrow I'll be gone for a while.” I shouted back at him as he went up the tinny stairs that separated the two levels of the tower.“It better not be anymore of those Goth friends, you know I won't have anymore of those weird freaks around, they're almost as bad as those wizards.” Vernon weakly yelled back, he obviously needed a lot of sleep.I had gotten a couple of friends in my time a Dudley's school, mostly they were the misfits or those who didn't like the popular people, Dudley's school was a both an elementary school as well as a high school, so I found my own little group of friends, most were older than me, some though were about the same age, these friends had helped me get the kind of clothing I wanted, I just take some money from Vernon's wallet every once in a while and pass it on in exchange for black shirts and pants, plus some other things on occasions. Hearing no reply back from the fat bastard, I wandered outside, and sat down on the steps and turned on my iPod, which I had bought with Vernon's money one time the Duresly's had bothered to take me to the mall with them. Vernon never figured out where that money went. And I used Dudley's computer to put songs on it.~several hours later, early morning~*Damn it, when is Hagrid going show up, it's not like he has to walk all the way….Oh there he is, should I act stupid or just get on with it?* “About bloody time, dumb jackass that motorcycles gonna wake everyone up, can't have that now can we?”I quickly pulled out my hand crafted wand and tapped the wall of the lighthouse causing a barely visible distortion in the air as I silenced the outside sound from inside the structure.I had made my wand last year out of Rowan wood, one of the neighbours had some growing in their yard so I got myself some and made two, twins at that, they were okay and I got a donation from one of the local pets of the cat lady, apparently her cats aren't really cats, their just under a magical disguise. Would have to look in a book about magical creatures but they're these double tailed winged dragon-cat things with a mixture of fur and scales all over their body, I just took a couple hairs from her big tom. “Hullo dere, arry”*well looks like he's here, well here goes*“Oy, oo are you then?” I said as I quickly tucked my wand away and shut off my iPod.“I don't surpose use be membering me much arry, nly saws youse once whens youse was but ah wee boy. I is Agrid ”“Well what're doing here then?”“I'ves ome ta takes youse ta daigon alley arry, afters you reads dis ere etter froms Ead AsterUmbledore” said Hagrid as he handed me the letter.I reached into a pocket and transfigured a rock I had into a little letter opener, which I then used to cut open the envelope.“Lets see here, Dear Harry Potter yadda yadda yadda, Professor Albus yadda yadda Supreme Mugwump man guys sure got an ego Hogwarts whatever might as well goes, got nothing better to do until I'm old enough to get laid. Well Hagrid, lets be going and the like.”~Leaky Cauldron~When Hagrid and I arrived at the leaky cauldron no one seemed to give me and real attention, which made sense as I was wearing all black and I had long hair covering the scare, although a couple people greeted Hagrid, but aside from that everything went smoothly.But when Hagrid pulled out the pink parasol I had trouble not laughing, but I made sure to memorise the pattern to open the arch and memorise what the magical energy actually did, because if I ever forgot the pattern I could just activate the thing like an on/off switch without even touching it. After all if I couldn't get a simple enchantment like that to activate, how was I going to have a chance against the rest of the wizarding world?“Ond eres Aigon Ally, So Wat yah ink Arry?” Hagrid said, spreading his arms wide.“About what? This cramped place or the fact I think your over the legal limit?” I said as I took in Daigon Alley for the first time, locating all the side streets and good places to duck into if I needed to make myself scarce.“Wat wuz dat arry?” Hagrid said after carefully thinking over what I had said, or as carefully as a drunk can“It's nice, in a small and cramped way.” I said, laying on the sarcasm nice and heavy“Ah, `s nice” which was completely missed by Hagrid.“Ell, ets ee oing den” the games keepers said as he started dragging me through the crowd.“Let go of me right now Rubeous Hagrid, or so help me god I'll pipe you here and now and leave your bruised and battered body in one of these side streets to raped by mangy dogs.” I yelled with as much force in my voice as possible while summoning my `special' pipe“Wut? Yuze coulda tolled Meh dat Arry, No needs ta Ell at May” an embarrassed Hagrid mumbled into his beard“I'm not some naughty little boy who needs to be dragged along to the shops you big oaf, so don't do it again, okay Hagrid?” I said brandishing my pipe“Es arry, orry arry” By now a crowd had gathered to watch as this little kid…no, this little punk told off a slightly sloshed Hogwarts teacher. And boy did I look the punkish picture, faded blue jeans with black leather combat boots a pair of spiked wristbands a sleeveless shirt covered by a ripped denim vest, showing off my lean tightly corded muscular arms, and a metal pipe.==========================================================Now before I go any farther let me tell you about my `special' pipe, it isn't really as special as you might think. You see when I turned around about nine, maybe a little under nine, that fat git Vernon decided that maybe he should start beating the `freak' to relieve some of his frustration that was building up from work among other things, now he got home and decided it would be a great way to start the weekend. I on the other hand had just come home from beating up a bunch of little shits from school who had jumped me on the way home. I just happened to have found a nice pipe in that ally and promptly used it to beat them within a foot of the life, as opposed to an inch which might have left permanent damage to their body, short and simple I beat'em up real good and taught them a lesson. Well there I was a nice bit of adrenaline going through my system and me uncle was about to start hav'in a go at me, something I needed to nip at the bud, I let him get the first hit in just ta see if he had the guts to. I barely felt the first hit, but I concentrated on the first rule of magic I could remember and that was the law of ownership; were in an object that you view as yours can be easily summoned. Anyways I let my uncle have it, laid into him for the next ten minutes. Hurt him a lot more than I thought, you see that hyper gravity thing I had activated affected stuff I touched, so that pipe weighted a hell of a lot more than it normally would.It was funny come Monday when Vernon had to explain to his boss that he couldn't come into work that week because his nine year old nephew beat the shit out of him over the weekend.Well back to the story.============================================================“Wh at the hell are you lot looking at, huh?” I yelled at the crowd of mainly older wizarding folk, but a few younger kids were scattered among them, probably getting school supplies like I was supposed to be.Looks like I even caught the eyes of a few shy little girls too *If I keep this up maybe I can get laid sooner than I thought.*“Go on, get, move on nothing to see here…Well rack off you lot!” still nobody seemed willing to move“Come on Hagrid lets get going, I got school supplies to purchase.” A muttered as I pushed through the crowd brandishing my pipe, and dragging the half giant along.I only stopped to tap the gringott's bank plaque, but making sure not to actually look at it.When I finally stopped dragging an out of breath Hagrid I'd arrived at the front desk with key in hand, which I had pinched from Hagrid's pocket.“And how may I be off service today?” said the goblin as he stared at the two of us.“You can start by telling me who the hell you are, I'm Harry and that's Hagrid and this is my vault key, I'm here to make a withdrawal.” I snapped back holding my key up for the little guy to see and resting my pipe on my shoulder with the other hand. “Ah mister potter, come right this way I was informed of your immanent arrival, I am hangnail.” #Womp# I had to stomp on Hagrids foot to stop his snickers. “Would you like to make your withdrawal now?” Hangnail said cracking a smile at my pipe, which I had long ago crudely scratched in Norse runes from a muggle library I'd found `Beating Stick'“Well sure, lead the way.” I said grinning the whole way, he wouldn't be so happy when he found out what the plaque out front now read, `Gringotts, Screwing you over every Galleon Sickle and Knut since we learned how'.The ride to the vault was rather nice, except Hagrid kept feeling sick and Hangnail had to slow down for many of the `larger' drops. I insisted that we stop off and finish Hagrid's business first, so when Hagrid sat back down in the cart and Hangnail was re-locking the vault I swapped the little brown paper wrapped packages with one of my own.When I finally got to my vault I browsed through it and picked up a couple little trinkets that I figured James probably left for me to take to school and I filled a supplied bag with some galleons and some sickles.I lost myself in thought until the cart came to a jerking halt. I almost got out first, but Hagrid brushed me aside as he rushed over to a corner to deposit what was left of his breakfast. “Damn it Hagrid! At least you waited until we had stopped” I yelled across the room to the retching games keeper “Hey Hangnail?” I whispered to the goblin as he anchored the cart in place. “Yes mister potter?” he whispered back “has anyone been pilfering money from my vaults?” I queried him. “why yes mister potter, why do you ask?” Hangnail said looking slightly confused “Who?...Who has been pilfering my money?” I said tapping the end of my pipe against my shoulder “Why Mr. Albus Dumbledore your caretakers has been, didn't you give permission for him to?” Hangnail said starting to understand what I was getting at. “No actually, I didn't, haven't seen the man in my life. In fact I didn't even know he was my caretaker until you told me.” I growled out through clenched teeth, damn bastard was pilfering my loot.“Well mister potter, we'll just have to remove his access then won't we” Hangnail said with a vicious smirk on his wrinkled face, revealing sharp pointy yellow and brownish teeth.“Yes I'd think you'd want to do that, I don't want that old bastard taking my loot, especially without my permission. Make sure he never has access to those vaults again.” I said mimicking Hangnail's smirk down to everything thing but the colour of the teeth and the wrinkly skin. I told you I'd get the dragon thing down soon enough.“Come on Hagrid I gotta git ma stuff fer school.” I yelled towards the no longer retching form of HagridOnce out of Gringott's we headed toward Flourish & Blotts were I grabbed my books for the year, plus slipped in a number of extra books while Hagrid wasn't looking I then bought a self shrinking multi-compartment trunk to put my stuff in.
