Harry's Protectors

Chapter 14: James Potter returns

(Narrator's POV)

It's been a long time now. Harry was back in school, and Dumbledore told them the news of the Triwizard Tournament. Harry wasn't too worried about it, since there was a age limit on the tournament, and he couldn't do it.

He went through his day like normal, but Dumbledore would always give him some glances here and there.

Now for Dumbledore, the lad had one hell of a summer. At first people would sent him hate mail for what he did to Harry, that he sent him to live with Muggles, even abusive Muggles. Then to top it off, parents would keep their kids away from him, in fear that he would plot for their murders, and kidnap their children.

Dumbledore didn't like this, and tried to get in touch with Sirius and Regulus, but he didn't have any luck at all. Cause he first tried to send them letters that were coated with compulsions and charms. But the letters always came back unopened and without the compulsions and charms.

He then tried to get into Grimmauld Place through the Floo Network, only for him to be spat out. He tried to get Snape to try, which he was shocked to see that it had worked. This is cause Harry trusts Snape.

Though whenever Dumbledore asks Snape to spy on them for him, he denies it. Though he was happy to know that he still had Molly Weasly on his side. The woman didn't believe Harry about the abuse, even though he showed proof about it.

Molly had told Dumbledore that Harry doesn't show signs of being abused, even though the boy has stated how he had Regulus in his life growing up. That Regulus freed him when the Dursleys wouldn't, that Regulus would heal him when Vernon beat him. Even let him stay over his house whenever the Dursleys were out or locked Harry out of the house. Though Dumbledore had a plan, he wanted his puppet back, and he plans to get it back.

(With Harry)

Harry sat at his table during lunch. The Slytherins watch as Hermione didn't touch any of the food on the Gryffindor table. This is because when she learned that House elves make the food she stopped wanting to eat it.

She even got Ron to do this as well, but she tried to get Harry and the other Slytherins to do it as well. Though Harry didn't listen to her, though he did ask Kreacher once about the House elves to see if her words were right.

That they don't get paid and are mistreated. Kreacher told him that while some House elves do get mistreated and unpaid, but house elves HAVE to be bonded to a wizard to even survive, but also some house elves don't get mistreated by some wizards.

Harry: "She's going to drive people crazy if she keeps this up. I mean I wonder what her reaction is going to be once she finds out that I have two house elves?"

They laughed, knowing it would be funny to watch her reaction once she finds out.

(Time skip) (A/N: I am skipping some things, but going straight to the part of the end of the Triwizard Tournament.)

Harry and Cedric were wandering through the huge maze on the grounds of Hogwarts. It was the final task of the Triwizard Tournament. Harry was too young for it, but choose to still compete, cause he knew he was stronger than the rest.

Though he did tell everyone that he didn't put his name in the goblet, though he did say that who ever did, wanted to test him. So he would gladly join. This shocked a lot of people, some of them thought he would try to get out of the tournament, but Harry didn't back down, not once.

The first trail was to steal a dragon's egg. All Harry had to do, was teleport over to the egg and grab it, then teleport back. He was the first one to win which amazed everyone. Some though said that he cheated, but he used magic still to he won that test.
