Harry Potter & the Power of the Eclipse

"Like this is speech." Like this is written words. Like this is thoughts. Like this is telepathic. Like this is different language.

Chapter 1

It was a hot and dry summer in the little town of Little Whinging, Surrey and more importantly the street of Privet Drive. All was normal as the occupants attempted to escape the drought out side by hiding inside and using any method to cool down. And in one Privet Drive # 4, in the smallest bed room on the second floor, lying on the old beaten down bed was the one thing that kept this house form being so. For you see the boy laying on the bed, staring at the ceiling with startling emerald eyes, out from his unruly black hair, was none other then one Harry Potter. In his hand he spun the wand that once belonged to one Sirius Black who had died not that long ago. Some how the Ministry had gotten it to him as it was their fault that he had died, though they would never say it with out a silencer put on themselves.

"BOY! Get down here!" Came the voice of his overly large uncle.

Harry sat up and grabbed his glasses, while he tucked the wand into his pocket with his first wand. He looked at his desk with the pile of parchment and his homework. It had been two and a half weeks since he had met his aunt and uncle at the train station with his friends and the order members. He had finished his summer homework with in the first week and reread all of his books and done essays on each subject, minus divination of course. For the past three days after that he had been lost in thought while exercising, barely sleeping or eating the whole time. He walked down stairs to find his uncle standing in the living room waiting for him.

"Yes uncle?" He asked unemotionally.

"It's time you earned your stay here. So from now one you are to work for us. Understood?"

"Yes uncle. But before I start on that may I please go to London to get my school supplies?"

"Fine but you won't be getting any of our money to spend." He crossed his arms in an attempt to look imposing, if only they reach across properly.

"Yes uncle. May I also ask how much I will be charged?" He asked it in such a tone as to suggest that he was bored and uninterested.

"Fifty pounds a week." He swelled his chest thinking that there is no way the boy before him could afford that.(A/N: I don't know how much a pound is so I am guessing that that is a lot for a "child" to make in that length of time.)

"Yes uncle." It was really pissing his uncle off that he was seemingly unaffected by the news. The whole time Harry had had a bored expression on his face. He quickly walked up to his room. Putting the assignments, books, and essays away in his still packed trunk he grabbed his money pouch and cloak. He then headed back down stairs and walked out the door, pulling his cloak on at the same time. With a quick glance around to make sure that there was no one looking he pulled Sirius's wand out and stuck it in the road and put his hood on. With a crack the purple three decked Knight Bus appeared.

"Where to?" Asked the new toll man.

"Leaky Cauldron please." Harry said as he climbed on and handed him three galleons. "Keep the change." With another crack they were gone zooming along the scenery in a blur. A few minutes later they stopped, this time Harry some how kept his footing when he was usually thrown to the floor like a dead sapling in a heavy wind.

"Leaky Cauldron." Called out the toll man as the door opened. Harry stepped off the bus and turned around.

"Sorry about this but I don't want any one knowing." Then raising Sirius's wand he whispered obliviate twice, wiping the driver and toll man of their memory of seeing him. With blank looks they left accompanied by the normal crack.

Walking inside he again holds Sirius's wand incase some one was to recognize him so that he could easily obliviate them. Because his cloak was a deep green-grey Tom paid no mind, as only Death Eaters wear the black cloaks nowadays. Harry quickly went to the back and entered the back alley. For some reason he saw a faint glow about the wall and for an even odder reason he could tell it identified the owner of the wand when opened. This will scare them pretty good. Smirking, he again lifted Sirius's wand and taped the same bricks as Hagrid had in his first time to the alley. Now I wonder if the head lines will say "Wand of Mass Killer Opens Diagon Alley When Owner is Dead".

Once on the other side of the archway he headed straight to Gringotts, the bank of the wizarding world. He quickly heads inside through the large front doors. Looking around he spies a sign that says "Currency Exchange". Harry walks over and dumps half of the galleons in his pouch onto the desk.

"How many pounds can I get for this?" The goblin looked at the money in shock as he rarely got client.

"The current rate is fifty pounds a galleon"(A/N: I don't really know. I'm guessing here so don't yell at me for it if it's wrong.)

Harry quickly summed up that he needed at least ten galleons to pay off his uncle so he decided to exchange sixteen of the thirty he had. Soon after he headed back to the pub, not wanting to be spotted in any of the stores because he knew the order was there all the time. He already had spotted three of them that he recognized instantly.

After leaving the Cauldron he headed into a near by clothing store, being tired of his current clothes. Half an hour later he walked back out of store wearing black jeans, a black t-shirt that said "Hurting you is the last thing on my list…" on the front and on the back "But its still is on the list" in dark red letters along with a bag filled with other clothes of a similar to what he wear now with different sayings and pictures on most of the shirts. His shoes were also new, being black sneakers with gold laces and crescent moons on the side. As he continued to walk around he passed a hair salon on his way to finding a contacts shop, remembering a few times his glasses had been quite bothersome. Thinking for a moment he walked in and asked the barber to give him some spikes and anything that might look good with it. When he left he had red tips on all of the spikes. It was an hour and a half later when he was walking back from the contacts shop, having finally found it and getting a pair, when a tattoo place caught his eye.

Why not? After all I already have the clothes and the hair, why not a tattoo to go with it?

And so he walked out of the building a while later with a black phoenix, with gold eyes and silver tipped wing and tail feathers, the wings half open and it appeared to be mid note, located on his chest, well hidden by his shirt. Looking at the watch that he had bought earlier on before he found the salon he decided to head back to the Dursley's. Hailing a taxi he asked the driver to take him to Privet Drive. Upon arrival he met his uncle at the front door.

"What took you so long?" He was starting to turn red with anger of the thought that his nephew had been out scheming against him.

"I decided to do some walking while I was out. And here is the money I oh you for this summer. And no I did not steel it." Harry handed Vernon 550 pounds and walked up to his room with the rest of his stuff as if he did it every day.

To say that Vernon Dursley was shocked was an under statement. He was floored. His nephew had just handed him enough money to pay for his "bill" for the rest of the summer and then an extra week. Where on earth did that brat get that much money? He quickly walked into the living room to watch the news while his mental gears creaked in an attempt to find the answer and to see if the TV mentioned any resent robbings.

------------------------------------------

Mean while up in his room Harry plopped himself down on his bed after packing his new clothes.

Just ten more weeks and it's back to Hogwarts. I wonder if they will pick me up before then and take me to Grimauld Place. No wait they probably think I will have a break down if I go there after Sirius died.

But unknown to the order Harry had excepted his godfather's death shortly after arriving in the pit hole that they call Privet Drive # 4.

After all he would want me to move on and live a little more. And besides its Dumbly-Dork's fault not mine. He kept stuff from me. He made Sirius stay in Grimauld Place when he know he hated it there. He was late to the battle! He let Umbridge take over the school! He has sent me to this hell on earth every summer after my parents died! He let a Death Muncher imposter a teacher! He Has Put Me In Riddle's Path Almost Every Year At Hogwarts When He Could Have Stopped It! If he crosses me again I'll hurt that manipulative old man regardless of what he has down in his past or how powerful he is now!

But before he could start venting his anger physically a brown barn owl flew in through the open window and dropped a letter on him before flying back out. Sitting up he opened the envelope and began to read.

Harry

Voldemort knows that you are in Privet Drive. What ever you do don't go outside we will be there shortly to take you to HQ.

Albus

Harry threw the letter down and grabbed his trunk and Hedwig. He ran down the stairs with astonishing speed considering that his trunk weighed at least fifty pounds if not more. He dropped the trunk and set Hedwig's cage on top of it. Now I guess I wait for the stupid order.

------------------------------------------

Mean while Tonks, Moody, Remus, and three other order members were running as fast as they could from four blocks away.

"Darn it Moody! Why do you still insist on these movements to throw off the Death Eaters?" Yelled Remus as they passed another block.

"Because they won't expect us to come from so far away and the wards on his house won't let any one apparate with in a block of it." Came the growling reply form the retired auror.

"Well let us hope we make it there in time." Said a worried Tonks.

------------------------------------------

Not a block away from Privet Drive ten Death Eaters were walking toward the area of # 4 under disillusion spells. Their task was to kill Potter and any one else they felt like killing which included the whole block for most of them. But they had to get the boy before they could do anything else. Their main problem was they were now on Privet Drive but couldn't seem to find his home. So they moved into a small ally near by and waited.

------------------------------------------

Remus and the others had finally reached Privet Drive and were now running to get to # 4 as fast as possible. That was when it happened. Moody was the first to react. The death eaters who had been hiding had seen them run by and fired an array of spells. And so the fight began with the invisible foe.

------------------------------------------

Harry was sitting on his trunk facing the door waiting for the order to knock when all of the sudden he heard the blast of a reducto. Several reductos at that. Bolting up he ran to the door and opened it. What he saw was six order members fighting against ten death munchers who had a strange glow around them that was similar to that of the entrance to the alley but was different at the same time. The fact that the order was having trouble hitting the death eaters when they were just walking around while the order was running was what shocked him the most. Of course Moody was having no problem with hitting them but all of the sudden he got hit in the back by another reducto from a death eater that had snuck around them. Seeing this Harry made to help them when not ten feet from the front door his wand shot out of his had and he hit an invisible wall. He tried again and again he hit it. Then it dawned on him. The wards! Dumbly-Dork's locked me up if I plan to fight with my wand or if there is danger! He quickly grabbed his wand and tried shooting a spell. It struck the barrier, giving it a faint glow that stayed there and let him see the wall. He could do nothing but stand there and watch as the death eaters started using the unforgivable. He cursed. He started pounding on the "wall" in an attempt to get out. And then Remus got hit by another reducto. This made Harry snap.

He started to pound harder and yell when all of the sudden pain shot through his body and he fell to his knees. If he had looked at a mirror before the pain had started he would have seen his pupils become slits and his eyes glow. Now his body began to change. Wings came from his back with the sound of ripping skin as did a tail and spikes down his spine. When the pain and transformation stopped in place of the fifteen year old boy was a black furred wolf like creature with dragon like wings, long claws, and emerald eyes that glowed. It reared, bring its hand like fore claws smashing into the barrier, breaking it with ease.

The animal let out a snarl of triumph before bounding forward. With a mighty leap it cleared the order members easily, causing all who saw it to stop in shock. The death eaters quickly fired spells at it as they realized it was not friendly towards them by the look in its eyes. It landed right in front of the forward most death eater and jumped to the side as he sent out a reducto at it. Taking a quick jump forward it turned and lunged, turning so that its right side faced the ground, and grabbed the death eater by the throat in its jaws. With a powerful bite it killed him, then with a twist of its body and head threw the corpse at another death eater.

To those who were watching it seemed as if it had bit nothing. And then all of the sudden a death eater appeared and the creature threw him into another, who also appeared when struck. Now the death eaters were all aiming for the creature. It seemed to move with god like speed as it dodged all the time moving quickly toward the other death eaters. The animal leapt up again and landed on another death eater, knocking him to the ground. Raising a claw back the creature began to claw the human's chest, using both hands and striking with force. Once he was dead it jumped off the body and rushed at another, until finally there was nothing left of the ten death eaters but torn or bitten corpses.

Now the order had seen it all, from trolls to dementors, but not even Moody had seen anything like this. When it had killed the last of them it spread its wings and with a single thrust was air born and disappeared from sight.

"What the bloody hell was that?" Asked Remus.

"Something you don't want to piss off, maybe?" Came the half hearted joke from Tonks.

They all turned and started to head toward # 4. When they get there they find the front door open and Harry sitting on his trunk, with his wand twirling in his hand, and looking bored for all the world to see.

"Bout time. So why is it that you guys can't keep up with ten death munchers? Specially you Moody. What happened to constant vigilance. I mean you were all shooting like you couldn't see the scum." He stood, pocketed his wand, and grabbed his trunk and Hedwig. "Well is it broom, portkey, floo, or something else? And are we going to Grimauld or someplace else that Dumbly-Dork's picked to lock me up in?"

"Harry what happened to you?" Asked a worried Remus who was a little shocked at Harry's forwardness and nickname for the Headmaster.

"What do you mean? I'm fine."

"You're different." This time it was Tonks who spoke up. "In more ways then one."

"Um don't you guys need to take me some where 'safer' or something?" Again he acted like it didn't matter.

"Stop being a prat Potter. And what happened to your carefulness?" Growled Moody.

"Well for one if you weren't who you were then I can easily take you right now so unless you want to have a massive headache right now I'd suggest you start giving reasons not to. And besides do you really think a death muncher would put up with my junk with out giving themselves away? I mean if I ask out loud they know I am suspicious and will attack, where if they don't realize I'm testing them they won't know so I'd say you all passed to a point."

Shaking his head Moody pulled out a long rope and told every one to hold one. Then with a tap of his wand they were gone.
