Return of the Black Rose - Chapter 11

Chapter 11 - It Really Happened! Saturday 8am Harry and Remus woke about the same time, showered and made their way into the living room of their hideaway. “Well Cub, are you ready to meet with the big bad wolf?” Remus asks softly. “Mooney I’m not even sure who the bad guy is any more. Dumbledore has done so many bad things to me. He put me with the Dursley’s going against everything in my parents will. He had Sirius locked up when he knew he wasn’t guilty. He stole money from my accounts for himself and his toadies. He paid people to befriend me with my own money so they could spy for him. He lies to me every chance he gets and has kept me in the dark about so much. He planned to use potions on me to get me married to Ginny Weasley then kill me off so the Weasley’s would have control of my inheritance. All I see that Voldemort did was listen to a prophecy or part of it anyhow and believe in some of Dumbledore’s lies and in trying to save himself he killed my parents. Everything keeps ...

Return of the Black Rose - Chapter 10

Chapter 10 Petunia arrived home at 8pm to find Vernon and Dudley watching television after having had take out for dinner. Never turning away from the television to even see if she was Ok; Vernon greets her with, “The boy left you a note on the counter Pet.” Petunia goes into the kitchen noting that Vernon and Dudley left trash and dishes littering the counters and table. She picks up the envelope that contains the note from Harry and opens it… Aunt Petunia Those things we discussed this afternoon were not good. My friend and I disposed of them so that they will no longer cause harm to anyone. We noticed something else odd though; one of my minders was missing from her duty station today. We’ve checked into it and can find no valid reason for her to be missing. For your own safety I suggest that you all leave early for your vacation. Take a hotel room at the airport so that you can leave from there. I’ve left you sufficient pound notes to cover it under your pillow. I’ve left a means o...

Return of the Black Rose - Chapter 9

Chapter 9 - Dark Idols and Dark Lords Harry was waiting impatiently when he heard the pop of apparation. He waited to see who it was with his wand grasped firmly in his hand. His nerves on edge he jumped when a knock sounded at the front door. He opens the door and greets a somewhat panicky Remus by holding him at wand point and asking, “Two questions: When is the next full moon and what was my Dad’s nickname?” Remus smiles now that he knows Harry is physically safe, “We called your Dad, Prongs in honor of his animagus form which was a large stag and the next full moon is in three days. What’s going on Cub? You really scared me with that message.” “Moony did you or any of the other of the ‘bird club’ put charms or wards on the three statues that were in the front yard? And would wards ever radiate dark magic?” Remus frowns and unconsciously slips into professor mode addressing the most serious question first, “No ward will ever give off dark magic because they are the exact opposite of...

Return of the Black Rose Chapter 8

Chapter 8 – Dursleys and Gringotts Thursday rolled around nice and bright; Harry’s alarm went off at 5:30 so that he could get up and fix a nice breakfast for his Uncle. He was really hoping to avoid more arguments with them. He figured that Vernon and Petunia would be easy enough to handle so long as they feared him using magic on them and or the loss of their income. He was setting breakfast on the table when he felt the shudder of the house as his uncle and cousin came downstairs: heaven forbid they actually miss a meal. He put out the platters and was just taking his seat when he heard the mail slot rattle. Vernon shook out his newspaper as he stated pompously, “Boy get the post.” Harry looks at his Uncle for a moment before carefully stating, “I don’t mind helping with the cooking as I like to cook. I don’t mind helping with the gardening as I like doing that as well. Keeping my room clean and helping to clean the kitchen and bathroom again not a problem. I am not your servant and...
