Hi
This is something I have been working on recently. It is something I haven't seen EVER in the Harry Potter Fandom community.
If Dumble is going to be manipulative is a question i cant answer yet, but he does have his own motive.
This is going to be a 'dark' Harry Potter story. Harry hates his relatives, and also hates discrimination. And that is why he will gather his own followers to change the magical world without said discrimination...
Cue lord Miko Raishin. (Thunder sorcerer)
If anyone can come up with a better name you can tell.
Anyway here is a short summary and then the first chapter:
----------
Summary:
Harry hears his aunt and uncle talking, and realized that not everything is as it seems. He finds an ally from an unexpected direction and together with him, they will change the magical world forever.

Chapter 01
The start of a legend...
June 30 1987
Harry Potter, seven year olds is slowly swinging on the playfield a few blocks from his home. NO, he thought to himself: NOT home, its hell! I absolutely loathe those people. They werenÆt even family. How had he discovered this? When Harry was supposed to be sleeping, he had managed to unlock the door of his cupboard for some reason, and not one to ignore a gift; he stalked very quietly to the kitchen door. The conversation he heard would change his life forever!
FlashBack
IÆm not sure we should keep doing this said Petunia silently... The boy IS a child. Even though he is like them! What if the authorities ever hear of it? IÆm just saying that we are punishing a boy that has done NOTHING to us. Vernon yelled back at her with his loud voice: SHUT UP WOMAN! I will not allow you to cuddle the boy. We will do what we were paid for. When he finally reaches that age, in a few years, we will know how to act. We both know that he needs to trust the old man unconditionally.
We will keep treating him like we are doing, and with a bit luck most of his magic will be suppressed by his own doing. And when he finally does his thing, we will be rid of him for good. What about the other one? DONÆT MENTION THAT.
He might be related to that BOY but I wonÆt let him be corrupted!!!
Now cÆmon, IÆm in for a good <censored>.
End FlashBack
Harry had quickly retreated to his cupboard and had over thought what he had heard them saying. He was MAGICAL? Dudley might be the ONLY one related to him?
That would make a lot of sense. He had noticed he sometimes knew what Dudley would say. Maybe it was like twin speak he had seen on TV? Dudley was being manipulated by that excuse for a human being! The part where he was magical didnÆt surprise him. After all, he could manipulate the length of his hair.
And he could even change his appearance. It was limited, probably because of his ageà
Harry didnÆt know what to do. The conversation was a week ago, and he had been thinking about it ever since. A plan started to form in his mind, which would get rid of those adults. But he needed to know where he stood with Dudley.
He decided to adapt a wait and see approach, maybe he could drop a few subtitle hints? He decided he would start to practice his magic. He stole a few comics from Dudley to see if he could try a few things from those. Starting that day, the beginning of a legend would start to unfold.
31 July 1987
Harry sighed while he was cooking the food for the Dursleys. They had ignored the fact he was another year older. One more year closer to the date he would get his revenge. His idea had been improved, reread, changed again, reread and so forth. He had looked at the plan from every direction. He knew it wasnÆt perfect yet, he still was waiting if Dudley would do something. He had the feeling, that Dudley wasnÆt doing it on his own.
He grinned silently at that thought.
Finally, just when he would call that dinner was ready; Dudley entered the kitchen and said very quietly: happy birthday Harry. We need to talk soon.
Then he turned around and did as he had said nothing, demanding more food more quickly. Harry had panicked for a moment, they couldnÆt know about his plans could they? He hadnÆt put it down on paper; he had his plan in his mind. Protected by a few nasty traps he had thought of after reading a few comic books.
It was only five days later that he managed to get Dudley alone. Dudley looked at him with calm eyes and character that Harry didnÆt think was possible!
He decided to get right to the point. So he asked: did you really mean it, when you wished me a happy birthday? Dudley looked at Harry and slowly nodded his head. Harry looked Dudley in the eye and tried the same thing he had discovered by accident in the last month. He tried to enter the mind of Dudley to see if he really meant it. He exited a moment later satisfied by what he had seen.
Dudley continued: I am as old as you are and they donÆt treat me like they treat you. Not only that, but I carefully asked around, and it simply isnÆt right what those adults are doing to you! This last statement made a few alarms ringing in Harry his head. Why had he called the Dursleys those adults while he thought they were his parents? Harry, Dudley said seriously, I discovered something huge recently. The petunia and Vernon arenÆt related to either of us. Harry was stunned beyond belief. y-you know? He asked? You know that we are actually a twin? Dudley almost choked and then he laughed: how did you discover that? This is what I wanted to tell you? Argh no fair he pouted!
That fact; and the rest of that conversation is the reason IÆm planning to change our lives for the better. OUR lives Dudley asked? Even though I made your life hell you still forgive me? I thought that not even the fact we are twins would made you forgive meà
It wasnÆt your fault Dudley. You didnÆt know, and neither did I know, so no harm was done. So ignoring the rest, IÆm working on a plan that will get rid of them fore good. The plan will need to be flawless.
From this moment on, Harry said, we need to start reading as much as we can manage. Bully him in getting a few more expensive books; he wonÆt think much of it. Dudley mentally shuddered at the idea of having to read a lot, but he knew that Harry was right.
Dudley nodded and then asked: what is the plan? Harry smiled and said: before we do ANYTHING we have to prepare very carefully. You will be an incredible help, but for now I keep the biggest part of my plans to myself. My plan isnÆt perfect by a long shot, and when I feel itÆs good enough that itÆs the basis, IÆll share it with you. This is what I can tell you though: we need to gather a lot of money, thatÆs the first and most important thing I can think of for the moment.
Another thing is that we need a place were we can practise our magic. If I am magical, then so are you. That reminds me: why do you look so different then me? Not every twin looks like each other Harry, Dudley said quietly. True, but I donÆt think thatÆs ità Oh well, that might be something for later to figure out. IÆll teach you how to relax first. ThatÆs the way I can do the best magic happen. And finally: we need to carefully change the way how we act towards the other. And while we are at it, gather undeniable evidence.
How long are we going to keep the act up? Until they are used of us in acting civil towards each other, they canÆt stop that, or at least I hope so. I am aiming to keep it up until we are ten years old. That should be enough time for us to prepare. But the second important thing is to find a good place to practice so we both can practice our powers. They kept talking for several hours, and then went into different directions.
June 25 1990
Harry and Dudley had grown close over the past three years. They had developed a strong twin bond. They had discovered that there were several blocks on Dudley, and a few appearance spells as well. So Harry figured that if they could get rid of those, they would look more like the other. Over the three years, Dudley had lost a lot of weight, and Harry had gained some. It took a full year before Harry and Dudley had ûsome- grasp of their powers. But the control improved very rapidly, so he wasnÆt worried. It had taken a year of brutal practice, but they both managed to do magic.
Harry could summon air from out of thin air. (Conjuring)
He could make things sharper, and change the sizes of said thing(s). (Transfiguration)
Dudley had found out that he could copy things, and they would keep existing. No matter how much time passed, they kept existing. When Harry tried it, whatever it was he had copied or summoned, would vanish after a few hours. Then again, Dudley was much worse in summoning. Harry figured they both had their strengths and weaknesses. That was the first year.
The second year, Harry had done a few phone calls and had managed to find a small apartment they could rent the next year. By the end of the second year, Harry had a much better grasp of his appearance and magic. He could change most aspects of his appearance, but didnÆt dare to change too much in case he couldnÆt change back.
By the time the third year started, the last year where they would become ten years old, they both had the best marks in class. Not even Petunia and Vernon could do anything about that. Both boys had worked very hard for those results.
They were ahead for their age that was true, but they werenÆt geniuses a la Einstein. And they probably would never be like that, but they could sure try.
Harry wasnÆt particular talented of anything yet, Dudley on the other hand was quit talented when it came too creating things. He could fix just about everything. Harry knew for fact that Dudley was magical, that much was sure. But the question was: why had he so much trouble in doing what he wanted? He could do most of the stuff that Harry did, but it took a lot more out of him, and he had to practice twice as long.
Harry had discovered by accident that he could enter his own mind, and order it so he could remember things more quickly. So he rationalized, that if he could do it in his own mind, he also could do it with Dudley.
However, he didnÆt want to risk doing any damage, so he first practices on his own mind and memories.
He experimented with making defenses and about anything he could think off. He tried to teach Dudley to do the same thing, but for some reason, he couldnÆt do it. So after a few months of practice, Harry finally thought he knew enough.
Dudley wasnÆt comfortable at first, but he finally agreed. They HAD to find whatever that was messing with his magic.
With DudleyÆs permission Harry had no resistance, except for a few boxes that contained private memories and thoughts. Finally, Harry reached Dudley's core.
What he saw shocked him to the bone, his core was chained.
A core can appear in any image, by some people it is the animal if said person is an animagus. Their inner animal so to speak, for other people the core has the image of a favorite place, subject in other words: something close of said person. Now the core of Dudley had the image of him! It was Harry's picture. This meant that Dudley trusted Harry to follow him trough anything!
The Harry picture was chained down from every direction. (IÆm going to refer to his core as Harry-P from now on.)
Harry-P was lying on a bed and several chains tied down his legs and arms. So he could barely move them. A few chains also tied down his chest, but those seemed very rusty.
Harry realised that those rusted chains must mean that Dudley had wore them down.
Harry said Harry-p, if you remove the rusted chains, then the rest will follow. You canÆt do anything other then that or your hurt my magic.
Harry blinked and slowly asked: okay, I wasnÆt planning on doing anything rash, but IÆll give it a try on those rusted chains first. Harry closed his eyes and concentrated on the chains, or more precisely on the links. He willed them to rust more, to be destroyed, and finally after what seemed hours, the chains that tied the Harry clone down all glowed a bright light and then vanished.
Now, only his hands and legs were tied down, but Harry could see the pace of the rust was increasing rapidly.
Harry, I suggest you get out, once I get free Dudley will get a large power up. I donÆt want you hurt. Once IÆm free Dudley will be able to visit with me, and you should have a similar person in your core as well.
Harry nodded and quickly retreated from Dudley's mind.
It was incredible what happened after that. As soon as Harry opened his eyes, Dudley started to glow with power. Everything in the main chamber started to float for a few moments and then it was over.
Dudley fainted, and Harry brought him to one of the bedrooms they had managed to make.
Once again Harry thanked whatever deity was out there for the fact they had found the underground tunnels. He didnÆt know why they went discovered, but hey who was he to complain? They were planning to stay in the tunnels for another year to focus on reading the books they had found. All of it was about magic.
Once they were done with that, they would carefully move out and into the apartment they had found. They would stay there and work until they became sixteen and then they would move out of the country. It was a long time plan, but they both were confident they would manage it.
Harry then took a seat on the chair, and simply watched his brother. Oi wait a minute Harry suddenly thought. Where is Dudley? The boy in the bed was a spitting image of him! Harry grinned and thought: hell Yhea we really ARE twins. This is going to be so much fun!
He looked at his watch.
Only 2 more daysà
Dudley had been sleeping for a full day now, and Harry also fell asleep because of his exhaustion. Harry was dreaming about their plan, and everything went perfect! His conscious mind wondered what Vernon would do when he realized that someone with drawed the maximum amount of money from his account with his permission! 2500Ç was the amount of money they had saved up. And that was without withdrawing the money from his uncleÆs account.
Even though Harry could copy the money, he knew it was a risk using them, so he intended to first use a big part of his real money, and then a fake note here and there.
