The one where they start making plans.
‘Look at them, they are so happy.’ I thought while looking at my new family, the news of Voldemort’s death swept the entirety of the British Isles in less than a day.
They have no idea that their saviour is about to go to the worst people possible.
‘That is probably the worst part of this entire story, how people completely just forgot about Harry, and how the ministry thought that it’ll be alright for Dumbledore to make decisions he has no part in.’ The inner turmoil in me is enough to dampen my mood. Even watching my grandfather or grandmother cursing the fuck out of Voldy is not enough to get a smile out of me.
Well to be honest the magical Britain just witnessed Potter’s best friend Sirius `betray` them. I think it is understandable that they are trusting the so-called Leader of the Light to do what's right.
‘What really gets my blood boiling is that Albus is actually doing what's right, it's just some factors (i.e. Dursleys) that are throwing the wrench in his plan. If Harry had half-decent relatives I think the story would’ve turned out much better.’
I really hate it when you’re right. Suddenly my mother picked me up, bringing me out of my thoughts and I noticed it was already time for my bed. Damn time really flies when you’re brooding in a corner.
My mother finally put me down in my crib in the nursery while telling me how things will finally get better, how the worst is over. I can clearly see that she’s still reeling from Regulus’s death, maybe he told her about Horcruxes before leaving for the cave. God, so many people lost their lives to bring this madman to his end. And the sad thing is that his lap dogs are still out there who will be furthering his cause even after his defeat.
Don’t worry we’ll fix this, I mean we have to. With all of this knowledge, it is almost our responsibility.
Staring up at the ceiling I think for a while. ‘If we’re about to do this then we’re gonna need lots of planning.’
It's gonna take more than that. We’re gonna need alliances, supporters, and people in our corner. We need to be prepared every single way.
‘What is our first priority??’
We need to make your family believe that you’re a seer. It's the best way to get information out there without making people think we need to be admitted into an asylum.
‘That’ll be easy, a bout of accidental magic will give me perfect cover to reveal some information that’ll satiate them and then we can drop knowledge as we go.’
We do not wanna make major changes to the timeline otherwise our knowledge of the future will be for nothing.
I get where he is coming from, I have read enough fanfics to know that we have to move slowly or we can alter the world in big ways after which I’ll be just flying blind. But Harry’s situation is still something that I'm having trouble with.
‘Nudge and run??’
Nudge and run.
‘But we need to get Harry out of that shithole, I won't leave a child there in the care of those people.’
We have to, for a little bit. We can’t show our hands too early otherwise we risk changing the timeline too much.
‘Like it or not we’re gonna have to change some things radically, there are some events that I can't let them pass.’
That caused Chat to go quiet for a while, he knows I'm not wrong here.
So what do you propose?
‘First, we need people to take us seriously and that means we need to train like a motherfucker’
'I need to get proficient in hand-to-hand combat, magicals are pretty useless without magic, and they can't begin to fathom that you can actually fight without the use of a wand. But I can’t exactly leave magical power out of the equation either, these old pureblood families respect magical power.'
Our blood alone can fix a lot of those issues. There must be some benefits to having the blood of three prominent families.
‘Well the Fall blood can give us access to ancient magic, the black blood and Slytherin blood can give us parselmouth abilities.’
Shouldn't it be accessible to us already?? I mean it is a magical language. And what about metamorphmagus ability?? Black Blood had that gift too if I'm not mistaken.
Chat asks while getting excited. It's always a joy to see him happy and excited about something. But I better not let him go ahead and plan our entire future based on a few ifs and shoulds.
‘Let’s not get our expectations that high. There's still a chance that we may not get anything.’
You’re right we have time. Maybe we should just plan until then, like I have been thinking and maybe you’re right.
That doesn’t happen often. ‘You’re agreeing with me about something?? Man, this world really is a fantasy world.’
Shut your trap and listen, if we actually get parseltongue or metamorph ability then there is a very good chance that we’ll be able to free Sirius early. A lot early
‘Well share with the class, don’t keep it in.’
Both of those abilities are considered extremely rare and if even one surface then we can get really close to lord black, with our “sight” we would also know that Sirius Black is not only innocent but the godfather of the boy who lived.
The plan is pretty straight forward but there is just one problem that I can identify here.
‘But isn’t that just giving the Blacks key to Harry??’
It will be problematic but that's why we’ll have to wait till 1990 at least
Then what's the bloody point of this plan, we’re just getting Sirius out of there just 3 years earlier and Harry will still be stuck in durzkaban ‘Care to explain why??’
Because a year later Arcturus will die, and a year after that Cygnus will die.
‘And Walburga will be already dead by then.’
So the only black alive would be Sirius who will become lord black right after the death of Arcturus, so Cygnus won’t even matter at that point.
‘It still does not solve the problems that we’re trying to solve here, Harry will still be scarred from his time with Dursleys, which will be 10 years by the way. And freeing Sirius three years early will not really make a big difference in any way, he will still have to recover from dementor exposure that he will get for the next 10 bloody years. And even if we wanted to consider this way we’ll still need our magic first and then hope for gifts to surface.’
……Well, it’ll take a while for that to happen and I guess you’re right. In any case, we can’t do anything for Harry for a while. At least until we get our own life under control.
‘I guess…. This definitely is not a breeze.’
Told you.
