Tortured and Betrayed:

Hogwarts June 1997:

There was only one who believed her, and only one, everyone else said that Harry was evil that he was killing and had joined Voldemort. Even her own parents believed Harry was killing innocent people and had finally gone off the deep end and joined Voldemort. Ginny knew he would not do the things they said he did, that he was a prisoner somewhere and could not harm others but she was ignored and threatened with expulsion. Only one other believed her and that was Severus Snape, a hard cruel man who had made no bones of disliking Harry Potter but who knew Harry could not be doing what he was being charged with. It was not because Voldemort trusted him and told him he had Harry Potter, no Severus knew now that Harry Potter was more like his mother.

Around Christmas Harry Potter had disappeared, Dumbledore had thought it a good idea to send him to his aunt and uncles home away from the Wizarding world. In the weeks after the boy not showing up at their home or back at Hogwarts many things had come out. Dumbledore had an idea Harry was abused by his aunt and that his uncle far from stopping the abuse ignored it. His aunt had from a young age belittled and if not starved him fed him only enough to get the laundry list of chores she wanted him to do done. When Vernon was not home she beat the boy and at her trial stated she did so as she knew he was evil and was trying to beat that evil out of him. She got ten years in Azkaban while Vernon lost custody of Dudley for his not stopping his wife.

The magical world hated Harry Potter, this came out clearly as he was vilified in the Daily Prophet and his so called friends took his grief at loosing Sirius as proof of him going dark and evil. Ginny and Severus were further vilified for their stance, Severus was threatened with Azkaban and very nearly was shipped off if not for Dumbledore and now, now he was not allowed out of the castle at all and was kept on a short leash. Severus hated Dumbledore and hated the magical world at this time and was really looking forward to proving them wrong. He was brewing with help from the red head Weasley witch, both had their hair protected by scarves, his black hair protected by a green one with skulls on it and hers pink with Hello kitty on it. Both had aprons and heavy gloves and goggles on their heads as part of the gear they needed for potions making. They were making healing potions as both were sure Harry would need them when he was found.

"I hope he leaves Voldemort for this world to deal with." Severus said not looking up from his work, "they deserve what they get."

"He will not, and not all do, I don't know if Fred or George believe his guilty, they have not spoke up though and I don't blame them." Ginny said, "your Slytherins sir have not dared speak up either, though there are very few that would believe them."

"Still it would be good if he did not save this world, I would have a right to not save them." Severus replied.

"You know that is not how Harry is, no matter how badly he is treated he always does the right thing." Ginny said. "You would not want him to do otherwise, and we will find him, alive of that I am sure."

Two days later Harry Potter was found, it was on a raid of Riddle manor to break the stronghold of Voldemort when the awful truth was discovered. The manor was cleared and hundreds of death eaters were killed, not by the order no but by the troops of the Queen who was tired of this war on her soil that the magical ministry could not take care of at all. So she sent in several squads of muggleborn muggle trained troops to help take down the death eaters. Once the wards were down the disillusioned troops flooed in and slaughtered everyone inside the manor. They spared the prisoners but not a single death eater remained alive they found, they even wounded Voldemort before he managed to escape. It was in one of the deepest darkest cells they found a prisoner none were expecting to find.

In chains, clad only in scant rags beaten, starved and near death was Harry Potter. He was covered in blood, bruises cuts and other things, his hair was matted with his own blood and he could barely see without his glasses. He looked up to see the shocked looks on the faces of those here, it was then he realized the awful truth. They did not need to speak to him, they believed he had done something horrible and he closed his eyes wearily and looked away from them refusing to speak. Dumbledore had to call Severus and Ginny to come get him as he would not allow them to come near him. Severus wrapped Harry in his own cloak gently and carried him past those who thought him guilty and gave a parting shot of his own.

"Shame on you!" He snarled, "you believed him capable of what an imposter did and did nothing to find him!"

"Stay away from him, you will not get another chance to hurt him." Ginny added.

"They think I killed." Harry said turning his head to hide it against Severus's shoulder, "they hate me."

"I do not, I know you could not." Severus said, "I will heal you up."

"I spoke out for you, defended you but no-one would listen." Ginny added.

Harry shook and would have been crying if he had any tears to cry with. Severus found a fireplace and flooed Harry to his private quarters were he personally took over taking care of healing the poor boy. It took him weeks to do so, Harry could not sleep alone and so he ended up curled up in Severus's bed with Severus on one side and Ginny on the other. It was the only way Harry could sleep and Severus was tempted to pull some strings to get these two married so that no-one could use this against Harry. He was surprised when Arthur Weasley came and gave his blessing for a union though it would be some time before that happened.

Four months passed before Harry called Voldemort forward to a duel. Dumbledore was happy, Harry had not turned dark and this proved he was on his side! Yet he was in for a rude awakening the day that Harry took the field. It started when Harry showed up with muggleborn magical forces from the royal army clad as a captain in her majesties forces in the black fatigues with the Union Jack on both shoulders with patch of a red dragon on a green background over the left pocket of the magical flak jacket (and on the fatigue jacket) to show these were the magical forces of the queen. Severus and Ginny were clad the same as were Fred and George Weasley and a few others from Hogwarts. All were armed with magical and muggle weapons and the forces of Voldemort were clearly no match for them.

Harry stepped forward, in full health, the potions and the like having healed him and the magical and muggle training turning him into a solid mass of lean muscle. He wore magical contacts now and the scar on his forehead was now faded as the evil there was gone. Harry stepped forward and threw several items to the ground that got Voldemort to pale and back up in fear. Harry smiled cruelly and drew his sword getting Voldemort to order his werewolves to attack. It was clear Harry had more than a few months training with the sword, in fact he had practiced in secret for many years since a young age. His relations never knew he was well trained in martial arts and neither had his so called friends, looking back Harry had done the right thing in refusing to tell his friends. He finished off the werewolves and when Bellatrix tried to get to him he helpfully removed her head from her shoulders.

"So Tom you think that torture and the like would stop me?" Harry said, "you clearly do not understand I am not like you and will not be like you."

"We could call a truce!" Voldemort replied, "you take what parts of the world you wish I mine."

"No, that is not going to happen, you are evil, you will die today. I was betrayed by those I thought friends, I cannot trust them but I will not leave them for you to torture and kill. No Tom I am far better than that, I will stop you and change this world for the better. Defend yourself."

Voldemort did try, but he was not skilled with sword and certainly not a magical sword like Harry was. Harry smiled and blocked each spell sent his way with his sword, even the killing curse, he so loved Goblins. They had willingly made this sword for him and for that he was in their debt. He ended the duel quickly, removing first Voldemort's sword arm then his head. He thought about bowling with it but realized how disrespectful that would be. No matter how evil Voldemort was he would not do that, he was not going down that dark a path. He actually had him burned on a funeral pyre in a proper funeral even if Voldemort did not deserve that Harry was taking the higher road.

Two weeks later the Wizengamot met in an emergency meeting. They had no idea why they were even here or who had called them together. Scrimgeour had not called them nor had Dumbledore and as they wondered who had the doors opened and Harry walked in clad in a formal officer's uniform in black with gold braiding and trim. His black cloak was lined with dark green silk and he was not alone. It seemed the full contingency of magical troops (nearly all muggleborn) had entered the chamber and took their places. The doors were closed and someone quietly set up recording equipment so that all the magical world could hear this over their wireless, or in more advanced countries over their TVs. Harry took the floor much to the annoyance of those gathered.

"What do you think you are doing Potter?" Scrimgeour demanded.

"The queen's will." Harry said, "for too long this world has stagnated here in magical Briton, for too long laws have been flung aside and due process has been denied. The most esteemed Magna Carta that our magical ancestors did ratify has been torn asunder and home rule has been suspended."

"That can't be done!" A young lord by the name of Roberts shouted, "home rule cannot be revoked!"

"Yes it can, if we violate the treaties and laws set forth to protect our world and the muggle world." Harry said, "to wit we have attacked or allowed others to attack muggles with little or no repercussions, we have sent to prison persons with no trials, we have set demons to guard said prison, we have allowed bigotry to rule us in denying any magical who has the ability jobs because of blood status. To wit this ends today, I was a victim of this so called pureblood nonsense, Salazar Slytherin was not against muggleborn he was not for pureblood but pure hearts. He left Hogwarts due to his firstborn son dying of small pox.

From this day forward for the next ten years the queen will allow us to reform. If we have not reform and corrected the errors above then home rule will be fully ended and will not be reinstated. To this end for the next ten years I will personally make sure that the changes take place and I promise anyone who dares to fight against this will be tried for treason and lose their head. Yes I am aware that muggle great Briton does not have the death penalty but we do and it will be carried out. Freedom will come to our people wither you lot wish it or not!"

"How dare you!"

"You wanted the-boy-who-lived, the chosen one, well you have him, you thought I was dark, that I had killed and raped innocent people. That was someone who betrayed my parents and was as evil as they come, one Peter Pettigrew disguised by Polyjuice potion, a simple blood test would have proven that I had not done those crimes at the time and I might not have been Bellatrix's guest for so long. But things will change, as your chosen one I will see that light and freedom come to our world not death and darkness. If you had not wanted me in this role you should not have forced me to a corner."

So that is the first one shot of Harry is wronged and gets revenge. I see him as saying "fine, you want to betray me and use me fine, I am still going to do what is right so there!" I mean he did so in canon when he knew Dumbledore had used him he still went to his death willingly. Who else could have done that I wonder?
