A Dangerous Request

Adrian entered the office to find his family waiting for him along with Snape, McGonagall and Dumbledore. Adrian was instantly pulled into a hug by the Potters and his two uncles.

"Where's Harry?" Adrian asked

"He's still not here yet" Remus answered

"Sorry everyone" Harry entered the room with messier clothes and hair than usual "my girlfriend was very enthusiastic in her goodbye and we lost track of time"

"I bet you did" James grinned as the family, Adrian included, now pulled Harry into a hug.

"Well" Harry turned to the professors "see you all next year"

"Goodbye Mr Potter" McGonagall said "I want to congratulate you on winning this tournament"

"I too want to congratulate" Snape spoke next "you performed brilliantly in the tasks, you've made Slytherin and Hogwarts look better than ever before"

"You're welcome" Harry replied

"Mr Potter" Dumbledore said

"Oh Merlin" Harry groaned

"I believe we need to have a little chat about…"

"Yeah sure, how about tomorrow?" Harry cut him off "No wait I'm busy tomorrow, the day after? No, I'm busy then? Next week? Nah. Next month nah? I know, let's continue this conversation never" Harry grabbed some floo powder and flamed away before Dumbledore could respond

"What he said" James smiled and the whole family flooed away, Adrian was last, he grabbed his floo powder and stepped in

"Adrian" Dumbledore said "I was wondering if…"

"You know what sir, I'd love to chat but we're I am really tired, how about another time?" Adrian grinned before flooing away.

Dumbledore sat in complete shock….did they just refuse to talk to him?!

 ...

"So Harry" Lily said as the family all sat down "as you can imagine, we have questions"

"Questions like what am I? And am I a muggle hunter?" Harry replied

"Yes" James nodded "now Harry, we'll always love you, no matter what"

"It's true" Lily nodded "but we'd like to know, please Harry"

"In the past" Harry said slowly, taking a big breath "I have hurt and killed muggles, quite a few"

"Why?" Sirius asked, doing his best to control his emotions

"Because I wanted to live" Harry replied "I wanted to live and protect my friends and family"

"What do you mean?" Adrian asked

"After Dumbledork abandoned me at the Dursley's my life went downhill pretty fast. Slaps and shouting were pretty much all I can remember from that time" Harry began explaining "when I was four they decided to take a trip to America, they took me with them. At the time I was naïve and thought that they might have actually started liking me. A few days after we got there, Uncle Vernon stabbed me"

"He what?!" James shouted as the others gasped, tears dripped from Lily's eyes

"Stabbed me" Harry repeated "he was hoping I'd die in America and they could leave the body there and return to England. Unfortunately for him, I survived, that pissed him off. A day or two later we were in a car, he had just stopped off and got out. He came back a few minutes later and started driving. He looked happy, too happy. Around that point I noticed a handle sticking out from his clothes, I realised that it was a gun."

"He…was planning…to shoot you?" Lily trembled "But what about…my sister…and…"

"Your sister was complaining about the price of it" Harry interrupted "not the fact that he had one. In her words she said 'you'd better get rid of that once we're free of this freakishness', didn't take a genius to work out she meant me.

I had had enough and decided that now was a good time to escape, I was angry at the fact that no matter what I did they would always hate me and the fact that they actually wanted to kill me. I saw Uncle Vernon reach for his gun, probably to show Dudley but I wasn't going to risk it. I fired a killing curse at him, nicer than he deserved in my opinion, he died.

What I had forgotten to consider at the time was how fast he was driving, the car didn't slow down and kept going. I got out of the car, the others weren't so lucky. The car crashed, and the three Dursley's died thanks to one killing curse"

"Harry!" Lily wiped her eyes as she came over and pulled him into a hug, "you brave, brave boy" She kissed him on the forehead.

Adrian couldn't help but look at his brother with a newfound respect, Adrian recalled his attention seeking days and if he was in Harry's position where he saw his brother going on about how much better he was than everyone else then he would've probably killed him.

"Wait" Remus said "how were you capable of casting the killing curse at four? How did you even know what it was and how did you do it without a wand?"

"Well" Harry said hesitantly "when I…ah, sorry kids but looks like we'll have to finish this conversation another time" Before anyone could reply the fireplace flared and Dumbledore entered the room. Everyone quickly looked at Harry, trying to work out how he knew Dumbledore was coming.

"Greetings everyone" Dumbledore smiled

"You know, it's bad manners to show up invited" Harry said

"Do forgive me" Dumbledore said in a way that showed there was doubt in his mind that he'd be forgiven "but I would like to briefly discuss an important matter with you all. With the return of the dark lord, I would like it if you would allow the Weasleys to remain here for their own safety"

"Why can't they just stay in a safe house or ward their own house?" Lily asked, doing her best to reign in her frustrations at being interrupted when they were about to learn more about her son.

"We do not have time to ward their house, they could be attacked any day. As for safe houses, none of them are as safe as Grimmauld place" Dumbledore replied. The Potters and friends turned to Harry and Lily, it was clear to them all that those two were the ones in charge here. Lily looked at Harry, deciding to let him take charge here, she loved seeing him in action. It made her so proud.

"Fine" Harry stood up "they can stay, providing it's just them and they obey our rules"

"What rules?" Dumbledore asked

"I'll tell you when I've decided on them" Harry replied "now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to the Greengrasses"

"The Greengrasses?"

"I'm requesting their permission to bring Daphne here"

"Daphne?" Dumbledore asked "Mr Potter, I'd rather you didn't, that could risk the home's security and…"

"Dumbledore, I'm bringing Daphne here" Harry interrupted "by my side is the only place she'll be safe from Red"

"Red? Ah yes, that red hooded boy in the graveyard, the one you claimed to be Voldemorts son. What makes you think he'll be after young Daphne Greengrass?"

"Because I know him" Harry said as he went over to pick up some floo powder "he's mad, the only person I know that is more crazy than me. He'll want to get to me through Daphne and I'm not letting that happen" Harry stepped into the fireplace

"Mr Potter, I've been meaning to talk to you about…"

"I'm sure you have" Harry cut him off "Greengrass manor" Harry flooed away before Dumbledore could say anything.
