[COMPLETE] After Harry blows up Aunt Marge and catches the Knight Bus to Diagonalley, he decides to take charge of his life when he learns he’s being sent back to Four Privet Drive. Harry spends the summer turning life in Diagonalley on its head, trying not to worry about the murderer Sirius Black, and attempting to avoid Severus Snape. In the midst of this he finds himself embroiled in an intense legal battle against Albus Dumbledore to decide his future. For the first time his fate rests solely in his own hands, and depend on the decisions he finds himself being forced to make. Harry wishes he could just be a thirteen year old boy, and begins to wonder if he’ll ever have the childhood he desires the most. Some of the warnings listed just as a precaution for things mentioned or alluded to.

"A Christmas Carol" is my favorite novella, movie, play, recording, you name it. My friends have plied me with a multitude of gifts along this theme over the years; the movie book, old copies, new copies, illustrated copies, children's copies, dvds of all the versions (except Cicely Tyson $170 is just too much for a VHS tape). They even found me a coloring book. I even have the song "Ebenezer Scrooge" by Teresa Brewer.

It probably shouldn't be a surprise that this plot bunny attacked me in the night when I was vulnerable. Hope that you enjoy my version. Without further ado, but with copious apologies to the late Charles Dickens, my version of A Dursley Christmas Carol.

Terror and destruction seemed inevitable after Voldemort finally revealed himself to the Wizarding World, but at Hogwarts, Harry lives a disturbingly unchanged life. He exists in parallel to the people around him, and as time passes the line between friend and foe stretches into a complex gradient, difficult to decipher. Seeking desperately to become the hero the Order needs, it becomes more and more clear to him how dangerous that prospect is.

But, in a life fraught with crisis and tragedy, what's just a little more?
