1st of July 1992
The first day of my summer holiday and the first thing I had done after coming back to the Dursley's is to threaten them, "Now look here you. I have learnt magic and I have gotten express permission to use it on you, if you are to hurt me in any way. I will be staying here for two day and then I will not see you again for another year. I will be in my room and you will not disturb me in any way. This is a final warning to all three of you pathetic excuse for human beings."
I spewed the words like venom. Both Petunia and Dudley looked scared and backed away from me, with Petunia shielding her walrus of a son, pushing him behind her, away from me while Vernon was turning purple from rage, "BOY! YOU-" I whipped out my wand and pressed it to his throat, Vernon froze as he saw the piece of wood pressed into his fat saggy neck. "You know what this is. You know what if does. Behave."
I took the wand away from his neck slowly, pocketed it. Just for an extra effect, I levitated one of the apples on the kitchen counter-top and brought it to me and made it hover right above my hand, "In case you are wondering....." I gripped my fist as if squeezing on a ball and *pop* the apple splattered into pieces scattering all over Vernon's shirt and the table cloth, ".... I don't need a wand." I turned away ignoring their shocked and scared faces and took my trunk and Hedwig's cage up the stairs and inside the spare bedroom these bastards use as a "Guestroom" although know one comes except the bitch, piece of human waste- Marge, Vernon's sister.
Back to the present... I had just return back from the jog- more like a marathon and had taken a cold shower to cool me down and clean myself. I have two months to myself and I have already asked the Weasleys to come and pick me up on their brooms. I recieved another letter today from the twins.
"Hey Harry,
Can you wait for a few more days? Mum and Dad are visiting a friend for a couple of days and the Car will be free for us. They'll be leaving in a week.
Yours mischievously
Fred
P.S: George REALLY wants to take the car out for a spin. And he is really good at it too. A natural at being a muggle, I would say."
I just wrote a reply knowing that these two idiots are too excited to listen.
"To the twin Weasleys,
You both are nutters, you are. But it does give me a bit of time to settle some "business" so sure. Get good at driving and meet me in front of "The Leaky Cauldron" at 3:00 AM in the morning on the 8th of this month. Do not delay.
Yours grudgingly
Harry"
I did not even unpack my things and climbed down the stairs immediately gaining the Dursleys' attention, "Change of plans. I'm leaving right now. I'm staying somewhere else." I stormed out before they could react and walked out into the Chilly night. I opened my extendable trunk and took out my broom and Invisibility Cloak before closing it. "Redusio" I shrunk the trunk and Hedwig's cage after letting her free and hopping onto my shoulder.
I wore the Cloak around me and secured it around my waist and pulled the hood over my head completely making me vanish from the naked eye. I got on my Nimbus 2000 and rocketed off towards my first destination.

I was standing on top of a tall building closely monitoring the people in blue uniform, going in and out of a certain building opposite to the one I was standing on. I was still under my Invisibility Cloak so there was no need of worrying about being spotted. It was in the middle of the night, I had just returned from Diagon-alley after purchasing another smaller trunk for myself.
The past year I had a lot of time to think and I came to a solution to my powerlessness. Well... comparatively at least. Based on what I have read and learnt, I could take on any student in Hogwarts and win or draw if it a seventh year student and a talented one at that. The children in the castle aren't necessarily coddled. But they are also not trained for combat, they are only thought the basics and other magics necessary for day to day life or a job that you might go to. Aurors and Hit-wizarss are trained after they are recruited not before.
So they have very little time to train themselves. And I'm pretty sure not even half of them take the training seriously. Peace makes people soft. But War also is not an ideal way of living. What I need to do is to find balance. Enjoy peace, but always be ready for war. For I know it is coming... war is inevitable.
To become stronger, I need to grow more. But I will always be at a disadvantage, since I'm technically on the good guy side. To even the odds, I need an ace up my sleeve.
Wizard's are able to deflect spell that come at them. But these spells are too slow, hence easily deflected by even semi-skilled wizards. But what if a spell comes at you at sub-sonic speed, breaking the sound barrier which can pierce and kill you? I found my ace in the hole: Guns.
The spell "Deprimo" has almost the same properties of a shot from a .45 bullet shot out of a pistol, only that it is not even half the speed of a bullet. Deprimo- has the damage of a .45 bullet but a knock back effect of a 12-gauge shotgun shell. But a well made and well timed, "Protego" - a shielding charm, can stop it with ease.
I came to the conclusion that I could use a gun in one hand and perform spells with the other hand and practice to use it both in Tandem. This brought me to the farthest police station I had the patience to go to from both the Dursleys and the Leaky Cauldron. I did not want any suspicion from Dumbledore to follow me.
It was a Police station that was on the outskirts of the state. I watched as the number of people reduced as the night shift had started. A military vehicle came out of the building and was driving away from the Police Building. I made a impulsive change in the plan and started to follow the vehicle high above on my broom. The truck was driving out of the city and into the hills were it drove deep into the hills.
After a few hours, the truck reached a military base. I just entered the base through the air under the Cloak and landed inside before storing the broom inside the smaller trunk I recently purchased. I walked around carefully not to make a sound and overheard conversation to find out the layout of the camp.
After spying on a few military jocks, I figured where the armoury was. I went to the back and waited till someone would come out. I had to wait for a long time but eventually they had come out of the back, which was a gun range and the storage of reserve Arms and Ammunitions which were not assigned to the soldiers. I sneaked inside a locked room following right behind a Sargeant and started to look around.
The Sargeant had left a long while back and I was locked inside the room alone. I checked to see if there were any Cameras around and found a few in the large hall like room full of shelves. I did not want to risk it so I disabled all the cameras with a "Deprimo" before resuming my search for the best weapon available.
I browsed the shelves and found only three guns which were worth my attention:
• the L1A1 an SLR rifle with good range and self-loading port. It uses a 7.62 caliber bullet. Comes with a 4X scope and a suppressor cum flash hider.
• M79 Grenade launcher. What's better than a gun? A grenade launcher, which 40x46mm projectiles which explode on impact or a timed explosion.
• the Mac-10. A submachine gun that has one of the highest Rounds per second. I would like to see how they stop an onslaught of .45 caliber bullets raining hell on them.
My Chuuni heart was beating fast as I held onto each of the guns (after I made them a lighter). I carefully placed the weapons inside my trunk an placed the ammunition after I wrapped towels around the Ammunitions which I placed inside snugly after I separated the guns from the ammo. Just for the satisfaction, I clipped a holster to my belt and placed a Browning hi-power Mark-III (this one was loaded) on my person. It was a 9mm pistol which had good range and bullet velocity.
The whole time I did not take of my Invisibility Cloak and was very careful not to make noise. I successfully completed my heist and flew out of there, not a soul knew I was there. Sufficiently armed I went back to the Leaky Couldron booked a room and kept all my things inside except for the guns.
I also took a pair of high powered binoculars with decent zoom before leaving.
