Synopsis: During his summer before his 6th year, Harry decides he no longer cares about the wizarding worlds needs and decides to face Voldemort on his own terms. But, he meets someone who then begins to unlock his inner feelings in way he never knew possible, but what happens when this person shows up at Hogwarts? Not to mention the new threat Voldemort has in store . . . Will Harry be able to stop him? And if so at what cost?


Harry woke up feeling refreshed. He had onlne tne to sleep a few hours ago but he felt much rested. The meditation techniques seemed to help block out the pain from his scar, and Harry couldn’t even remember dreaming. Remembering that Seth was outside, he climbed out of the trunk and went outside. It was almost time for Petunia to make breakfast, and Harry’s stomach gave a growl at the thought.

~Seth?~ Harry whispered as he walked outside.

~I’m here~

Harry walked towards the bush at the corner of the back fence and looked down to the ground. He held out his arm and felt Seth slither onto him, still invisible. As he walked back into the house a loud scream and the breaking of a plate mad Harry whip out his wand from the waist band of his boxer shorts.

“What are those . . . things?” Petunia screamed as she pointed to his tattoos. “And what are you doing, walking around almost naked?!?”

“Don’t worry, if the neighbors ask just tell them its more proof that I go to St. Burstersrry rry replied calmly as he put his wand back in his waist band. “Oh, and I wont be having breakfast.”

He quickly walked out of the kitchen just as Petunia was about to start yelling, ignoring her death glare with nothing but a smile.

~So did you find something to eat?~ Harry asked as they walked back to his room.

~Yes, I found two rats to eat. They were delicious~ Seth said.

Harry chuckled at hearing this and climbed down the latter to his trunk. Seth made himself visible and Harry put him down on the floor. He then put his wand on the desk and went into the bathroom. He saw Keeva underneath the water and his jaw dropped. She was almost fully grown, and all her plumage was back, only this time it was more beautiful with an amazing shine. She rose out of the water and flew over to Harry, landing at his feet. Keeva looked up at Harry with her shining turquoise eyes and began to sing.

Her song was amazing to say the least. It made Harry feel calm the same way Fawkes’ song did but her song was different. The song had a different melody and sound and while it made Harry feel calm and peaceful, it carried another trait. In a way that was almost indescribable, it made Harry feel vibrant, free, and powerful. Almost like he was being reborn, he could feel a new strength growing inside of him. Suddenly it stopped and the swoon Harry became lost in faded. As he looked at Keeva again he knew it was time to free her.

He held out his arm and she flew up onto it and then jumped onto his shoulder. Hedwig followed suit and did the same on Harry other shoulder. Harry climbed back out of his trunk once again and opened the window.

“Well, like I promised, you can go free now” Harry said.

Keeva nuzzled Harry’s face lovi and and Harry kissed her on the top of her head. She jumped of his shoulder with a flap of her wings and landed on the window sill. For a long moment they just stared at each other, neither moving nor even blinking. Harry was going to miss her terribly and he wished he could go with her. A happy chirp escaped her beak suddenly and Harry smiled.

“Your welcome” Harry replied.

Hedwig hooted and flew over to the window next to Keeva. They seemed to be having some sort of discussion to Harry and he watched as they both made noises back and forth. Finally, Keeva flew out the window, but not before she looked at Harry once more. Their gazes never left the other until she suddenly hopped around and flew out the window. In a large cloud of mist she disappeared, leaving no trace she was ever there. Harry wouldn’t lie to himself and say he didn’t want her to stay, but in the end he was glad she was free. He wasn’t lying to her when he said he knew what it felt like to be locked away and as he looked into her eyes, he saw they had the same free spirit that needed to fly as much as they needed to breathe.

A breeze came in through the window and caught Harry in the face. For the first time he realized he was crying, and wiped the tears from hace.ace. Hedwig flew back over to Harry and nipped his ear. Harry kissed her sweetly, thankful he had a friend.

“Hey, I almost forgot. Do you want to take a letter for me?”

Hedwig hooted her affirmation which made Harry laugh. He quickly went back down to his room in the trunk and sat at the desk.

Dear Mrs. Weasley,

In this letter you will find a key to storage vault 946 which I currently own. In this v you you will find many valuable pieces of furniture and antiques. I’m sure these will help in refurnishing my new home and I trust you to choose what is best. If you need to buy something for the house, let me know and I will pay for it myself. Also, don’t worry about me, I’m sure you heard what happened from Dumbledore and I am not going to waist any ink to try and explain myself. Try not to worry about me so much, I’m less of a burden that way.

Sincerely,

Harry James Potter

Harry looked over the letter one last time before he sealed it in an envelope and tied it to Hedwig’s leg.

“Ok, take this to Mrs. Weasley” Harry instructed and Hedwig was off.

With that Harry made himself some pancakes and bacon for breakfast. When he was finished eating, he went over more spells with his new wand. The new wand was amazing to put it lightly. It obviously had a lot more power to it than his first wand, which he still loved of course. Every time he cast a spell he could almost feel the magic pulse out of him and into the wand. It was like the wand was rt ort of his body instead of a piece of wood. After he had mastered and memorized a bunch of new spells he decided to take a shower and get ready to leave. He wanted to get out, and get some new clothes. Not to mention take the motorcycle for a spin, and with the money he now had, he could do whatever he wanted.

He went through the bag he bought yesterday to find the papers for the motorcycle. When he found them he also found the letter address to his father. With everything that had happened he had forgotten all about it. He opened the letter and to seriusrius’s hand writing:

Dear Prongs,

Happy birthday!!! I really hope you like this gift. I had it custom made for that thick head of yours. Maybe now it won’t hurt you so much when Lily slaps you upside the head every time you do something stupid. I wish there was something I could do to thank you for being there for me. If it wasn’t for you I wouldn’t have any family left.

Your friend and brother,

Padfoot

As he read over the letter again he wondered what else Sirius would have said if he knew how soon he would have lost his friend. Pushing theughtught away he dove into the papers for the motorcycle. They explained how the motorcycle could fly as well as how to drive it normally. When he was done he quickly got dressed in a pair of dark blue jeans and a black t-shirt. He put the metal plate back on to cover his forehead and transfigured the baseball cap into a black helmet. With another flick of his wand, a beautiful blue phoenix was painted onto the helmet with such intricate detail the painting itself seemed alive. He then put an unbreakable charm on the helmet just to make sure it would withstand any impact. Finally, he put on his sleeveless trench coat on and grabbed his bag.

He stepped out of his trunk and shrank it back to its wallet size. Quickly he placed it into his pocket and left the house. Once again it seemed his aunt Petunia was about to scream at him but he just walked out and slammed the front door in her face. He knew he was going to get yelled at later but he really didn’t care anymore. He was playing by his own rules and Harry Potter was on vacation and wouldn’t be back until September 1st.

Walking away from the house, he caught the sight of Lupin following him under an invisibility cloak. A huge smile crossed his face as he quickened his pace. A part of him still couldn’t believe he was able to see them but he was glad he could none the less. He then spotted Kingsley on the opposite side of the street near the park. He changed direction and pulled out his helmet. He was now in the alley where he and Dudley had been attack last summer. He quickly put his helmet on and took the motorcycle out of his bag. Quickly enlarging the motorcycle he put his helmet on and turned the engine.

“Harry don’t!” he could here Lupin shout as he came into the alley, but was already roaring out of the other side of.

For the first time in his life he felt he like he was free. He lost himself in the roar of the engine and wind whipping his coat. The speed seemed to help him escape himself and Harry felt sad to see he had so quickly reached his destination. Turning into a nearby alley, Harry made sure no one was around and quickly shrunk his motorcycle. He put his helmet in his bag along with the bike and walked the rest of the way. Harry had never been in a mall before and as soon as he stepped inside he stared in awe at the huge levels of stores and the variety of things they sold.

The first store he went into was a book store. After a lot of browsing he only got a book of poetry and a large red leather bound notebook, with a picture of a Chinese dragon etched into the leather. It also had a lock to it which Harry decided he could bewitch when he got back to school. After he left the book store he found an electronics store. He bought a portable stereo with a radio, cassette, and CD player. Along with that he bought himself a portable CD player. In the books he had gotten from Knockturn Alley, it explained that muggle devices that worked on electricity go crazy in places (like Hogwarts) where magic was everywhere. But, it also gave very thorough instruction on how to get passed that. It said that electric devices can be bewitched to be fueled by magic instead of electricity so they work perfectly fine around magical areas.

Next he went into a music store where he bought a huge collection of CD’s. Seeing that he was carrying too much in his hands, Harry made his way to the bathroom and went into the handicapped stall. Being careful that no one could see him, he took out his trunk and placed all his new purchases inside. He then made a quick exit and went back to browsing the stores. The next store was a clothing store. Harry bought himself jeans that actually fit him in light and dark blue, as well as black. He bought himself many shirts along with socks and boxer brief underwear. Wearing Dudley’s hand me down underwear wasn’t something he wanted to continue to do. He also bought pairs of sweat pants and shorts to work out in as well as some swimming trunks and two pairs of sneakers and a pair of sandals.

In the next store Harry found himself surrounded by business attire. He was looking at a suit, when a man came up to him.

“May I help you?” he asked.

He seemed to be only a few years older than Harry, with short dark brown hair and brown eyes. He was as tall as Ron but not lanky, and had broad shoulders and fair skin.

“I was thinking of getting some new clothes. Perhaps a suit or two” Harry replied.

The guy looked Harry up and down with hungry eyes, and gave a big smile.

“Well let’s see” he said as he began to take Harry’s measurements. “I think I have suit you might like.”

Harry followed him to the other side of store and the guy showed him an emerald green suit with a black silk shirt and matching tie.

“Why don’t you try this on?” he said as he handed Harry the suit and motioned to the dressing room.

Harry nodded and went into the dressing room. He quickly undressed to his underwear and just as he was about to put the shirt on, a door opened a creek.

“Do you need any help?” the guy asked through the opening.

“No thank you” Harry replied as he continued to get dressed.

The suit looked amazing on Harry. It set off his eyes very well and the black shirt seemed to be custom made to match his hair. The legs on the pants were a bit too long though, along with the arms of the jacket. He stepped outside to find the same guy waiting eagerly for him.

“What was your name?” Harry asked.

“I’m Eric” he said as he held out his hand.

“I’m Zane” Harry declared as he shook his hand. “I love the suit but it’s a bit too long for me unfortunately.”

“We can fix that here for you” Eric said and got down on his knees.

He took more measurements starting from Harry’s ankle to his crouch. Then his arms, from his wrists to his shoulders. He rolled up the sleeves of the jacket and the legs of the pants and put pins in them so they wouldn’t come back out.

“There you go; we can have this tailored in just a few minutes. If you like I can show you many more things, I know would look great on you” Eric said with a devilish grin.

Harry agreed and for the next hour Harry tried on more suits and other clothes. Eric was more than eager to pick more things out for him. Once again Harry found himself in the changing but he was having trouble clipping on the back part of a pair of suspenders.

“Do you need some help?” Eric said through the door.

“Sure” Harry replied and opened the door to let Eric in.

Eric closed the door behind him and began to help Harry.

“Let me tuck the back of your shirt in since it came out” he declared as he began to tuck the shirt in.

His hands went into Harry pants to pull the shirt in, and Harry could feel Eric’s hands over his buttocks for a moment before he withdrew his hands. Eric clipped the suspenders and stepped back. Harry looked himself over in the mirror wearing another suit. This one was charcoal colored with a dark red shirt and black tie. Again, Eric took his measurements and put the pins in the legs and arms of the suit. The suits he had liked were sent to the back of the store to be oredored along with the pants he picked out and a few shirts. Harry and Eric also picked out a few sharp looking vests and ties and two pairs of leather suede shoes.

“Here, take this card, if you ever need anything just ask for me” Eric said as he handed Harry a business card. “My personal number is also there incase I’m not here when you call” he added as he wrote his number on the back.

“Thank you” Harry replied as her took the card and put it in his pocket.

He then quickly walked out of the store with all his bags and headed for the bathroom to put them in his trunk. After walking around the mall for a bit longer he came across another clothing store. This one was full of gothic and motorcycle style clothes. All the attendants seemed to be pierced and tattooed from head to toe, and a singer Harry recognized as Marilyn Manson was blasting over the speaker system. By the time he left, he bought many leather pants and steel toed plated boots in various designs. Along with that he bought two chain mails several leather wrist cuffs with a variety of studs and spikes and several different chokers. As soon as he paid for them all he put two of the cuffs on and one of the chokers as well. The cuffs had many tiny little spikes all around it and the choker had the pendant of a silver winged horse.

In the next store he went into he bought himself some toiletries, including different kinds of shampoo and soap, along with deodorant. Other then that he bought himself some colognes he thought smelled nice. He paid for his purchase and then quickly went back to another bathroom.

As he came back out of the bathroom he realized he was hungry and headed for the food court. It seemed to be filled to capacity as people bumped into each other trying to head to different food shops. Spotting a line that wasn’t too long he made his way over to pizza parlor shop. By the time he got to the front of the line he was starving. He ordered a large pizza pie with pepperoni, sausage and bacon and a super large root beer. Needless to say by the time he finished, he was totally stuffed. Realizing there wasn’t much else for him to do he decided it was time to go back.

While walking through the alley Harry had to wait to bring his motorcycle out since there where too many people walking by. When it was finally clear Harry quickly took out his bike and put on his helmet. He wished he could try to flying ability but he still had to add the invisibility booster to do it safely. Once again he lost himself in the speed as the motorcycle roared through the streets. All too quickly he was getting closer to home, if you use the term loosely.

“Come on Big D!!!” a voice shouted.

Harry stopped at the corner of the park to see Mark Evans running through the swing set, being chased by Dudley and his gang. Revving the engine, Harry shot through the park at top speed. Making sure Mark wasn’t in the way, he charged through the park, putting himself in between Mark and Dudley and his gang. He used the back wheel of the motorcycle to spray them all with mud from the earth that was still wet from the rain yesterday. They were all covered in mud from head to toe and thrashing around in their anger and confusion.

“Mark get out of here!” Harry shouted.

Mark ran behind a near by tree and Harry jumped off his bike and pulled of his helmet, ready to fight.

“Your goanna pay for that freak! Right Big D?” Piers shouted as he got off the ground.

“Damn right! I’ve been waiting for a long time to kick your ass?” Dudley said as he cracked his knuckles.

“Why? You’re too much of a pussy to take me on with your gang, Ickle Diddykimms?” Harry laughed.

“You’re not going to sound so smart with the shit kicked out of you! It’s five against one” Piers declared as he pounded his fist into his open hand.

“Two against five!” a new voice called out.

Everyone turned to the right to see someone leaning against a tree. Harry looked him over and decided this must have been the new hooligan in town Petunia mentioned. He looked Hispanic and was wearing a black pair of baggy jeans and brown sandals. He had a tight blue short sleeve t-shirt on and had what looked like tattoos on his forearms. His skin was the shade of golden honey with black hair was so dark it almost looked blue in the sun light. On top though it seemed that his hair was sun bleached a very light brown, almost blonde. He had a strong chin and well formed lips and nose, along with a set of very vibrant onyx eyes. The young man was Harry’s height but was a bit more muscular and well built. Even though he seemed totally relaxed, his very stature seemed to give of a strange feeling of power.

“Since you caught me at a good moment, I’ll let you all off with warning” he declared as he walked over to Harry’s side.

Everyone looked at him like he was crazy, and Harry smiled. He definitely liked this guy’s style. Piers charged for the guy and Dudley charged at Harry. Harry quickly moved out of the way with his seeker reflexes and tripped Dudley to the ground, and kicked him in his fat ass. Piers, on the other hand wasn’t as lucky. The new so called hooligan shocked everyone as he jumped into the air and gave Piers a spinning jump kick to the chest, knocking him flat into a nearby tree. Dudley got up and swung at Harry, but Harry was too fast. Harry swung back and punched Dudley right in the face, and was rewarded by the cracking sound of his broken nose. The other two just watched as Harry and the other guy kicked Piers and Dudley’s ass. Dudley swung wildly and caught Harry with a punch to the stomach, earning him a cheer from his non-fighting friends.

Before Dudley had the chance to swing again, Harry rolled out of the way and slammed his fist into Dudley’s crouch with all his strength. Dudley was now on the ground turning a dark shade of purple like his walrus father.

“Not bad” the guy said as he was watched the whole thing.

“Thanks” Harry said as he got to his feet.

Dudley and his gang, knowing they were beaten quickly ran away. When they were gone Mark thanked them for the rescue and quickly ran home.

“So what’s your name?” the guy asked as he looked Harry over.

“Black, Zane Black” Harry replied as he held out his hand.

“Just call me Alex” Alex replied as he shook Harry’s hand and Harry saw that the tattoos on his forearms were actually burns, one shaped like a dragon, the other shaped like a tiger.

“Those were some awesome moves. I wish I could fight like that” Harry declared.

“Thanks. You weren’t so bad yourself. You’re pretty fast” Alex replied.

“So where are you from?”

“I’m from Spain. My parents are moving here and they sent me ahead to stay with some friends” he replied quickly. “How about you? You don’t seem like you’re from around here.”

“Unfortunately, I have to stay here every summer when I’m not at school” Harry replied vaguely, not wanting to give out too much information.

“That’s too bad, this place seems dead to me” Alex replied with a r.
r.

“It pretty much is. This summer though I was hoping to find something to keep me busy, since I don’t have any friends and nothing to do. I was goanna go out tomorrow and try to find a place where I can learn how to box or pick up some self defense. Needless to say it’s a necessity with dickheads like those around.”

“I can imagine” Alex chuckled. “If you want I can teach you. I don’t have anything to do here and it would be nice to have a friend here for a while. Plus, from what I saw, you have a lot of raw talent.”

“That’d be great, although I’d hate to disappoint you” Harry replied.

“Something tells me that’s not going to be a problem” Alex declared coyly as he seemed to be looking Harry over. “We can meet here and train for a while. If you want there is a gym a few blocks away I just found. I was planning on getting a membership for the summer so I could have a place to work out. After we practice here, we can head over and work out there to build up your stamina, strength and so on.”

“That would be great! It would really help me out a lot.”

“Great, we can meet here tomorrow at noon and get started, bring some work out clothes.”

Harry agreed and shook his hand again. Alex walked away in the opposite direction Harry was going as he walked back to his bike. He felt a bit guilty lying to Alex about who he was, but he needed to be careful. Any new person he knew could be a threat to him in many ways. They could be a death eater in disguise or the truth about who he was could put them in danger. But, further more, he reminded himself, he wasn’t Harry Potter anymore. For the summer, he was Zane Black, and when he was forced to go back to his normal wo he he would be a different Harry. The old Harry Potter died with Sirius in the department of mysteries; the pawn Voldemort used to get the prophecy was dead, along with the pawn Dumbledore tried to use in his own plans to win the . . . .
