-1Harry Potter and the Meaning of Ohana

Written by Chibikan

Summary: Another Disney Crossover. After the events of fifth year, Harry decides that he desperately needs a vacation. Bribing Uncle Vernon to drop him off at the airport (having already secretly made preparations), Harry takes off on a flight to Kauai, where he meets the strangest family, even stranger than the Weasley's if that's even possible.

Prologue

Harry sat silent in the backseat of the car. He really wanted to laugh out loud. His bodyguards thought they were doing him a favor by threatening the Dursleys. That was hardly necessary. He had plans, he just needed to say the right things and he would be free of them.

"Uncle Vernon," Harry leaned forward.

Vernon snapped, "Silence boy, after that spectacle at the train station, you would be wise to keep your yapper shut."

Harry shrugged, "Okay, just thought you might want to make an easy ten-thousand pounds, that's all. Sorry."

Uncle Vernon hit the brake so hard that everyone was thrown forward slightly, "Speak boy." he said as though commanding a puppy.

Harry reached into his pocket and pulled out a slip of paper. "All you have to do is drop me off at the airport and this is all yours." he waved it tantalizingly close to the man's beady eyes. "Well?"

Petunia looked skeptical, "And where did you get ten-thousand pounds?"

Vernon glanced at her, "That's right, how do I know this check isn't a fake?"

"You should know, Aunt Petunia, that my dad wasn't exactly hard-up for money. They naturally left the entire estate to me." He should have known it really wouldn't be this easy, and he sighed, "And once I'm wherever I'm going, I will send you another check for another ten-thousand pounds. That's twenty-thousand altogether."

Dudley was the one to voice the question they were all thinking, "And where are you going?"

Harry shook his head, "I can't say. If you don't know where I'm going then you are being honest about it when the others find out I'm gone. And they have ways of telling whether or not you're lying." He looked at his watch, "There's really no time to debate this. Either you take the deal and drop me off at the airport, or I get out right here and give this check to the first cabbie that I can find to do it instead."

Petunia looked at the boy, then at Vernon. He nodded and she took the check and looked it over, "It sure looks real. Maybe we should do it, Vernon. At least he'll be out of our hair this summer. That's a better reward then the money if it turns out to be fake."

Dudley was excited, "I could have my second bedroom back!"

Harry pretended that those words didn't hurt. He really wanted to be rid of them too, he told himself. Their words shouldn't bother him after so many years. At least they didn't PRETEND to like him and then dump him at the first sign of problems, like some others he could mention. That would have hurt worse, he knew.

Vernon looked left and right, and put on his turn signal, and turned around, in the direction of the airport. He knew that if the other freaks found out about this, they could be in serious trouble. He didn't pretend to think that they couldn't hurt him. He remembered hearing how Lily and James Potter had died. There were some powerful freaks out there. But, if the boy was asking for it, if they did find out, he just needed to tell them that it was his choice. That should be good enough for the abominations that they were.

They arrived at the airport entrance and stopped long enough for Harry to get out. "Thank you," Never let it be said that he had not been taught good manners. He pulled his stuff out of the boot and Hedwig's cage from the backseat. "Maybe I'll be back next year, but then, maybe I won't be." With that, he watched as the Dursleys sped off. He looked at Hedwig's cage, "Well, I'll let you out, find me in Kauai." he told her, opening the cage door. Harry had every confidence that Hedwig would find him and he rolled his trunk behind him into the airport lobby. He looked at his watch again, just in time. He had ten minutes to find his gate. Harry pulled the ticket and his passport from his trunk. "Hmm, Gate 10." he read off the ticket. He found an airport directory and quickly got his bearings before racing off for it before his plane took off without him.

He just made it in time to check his luggage, have his ticket checked, his passport validated, and then find his seat. Harry breathed a sigh of relief as the flight attendant announced their take off mere moments after he had buckled in.

"This is your Flight Attendant speaking, Flight 124 from England to Kauai is now taking off. Please keep your seat in the upright position and your seatbelt buckled. Thank you for flying Delta, and please enjoy the flight."
