[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.

Loving the updates - feeling a little spoiled getting a chapter almost every day and hope you have more lined up. This chapter was really good and showed Harry's character really well. I can slowly see Snape changing and beginning to see Harry differently. The bazaar was a brilliant idea and hope to see book fairs coming to as I can't imagine Basil and Bennett not taking advantage of wanting to sell more books and I think they'd be fair enough to invite their competitor from Knockturn.

This is one of my favourite fics so far. I've read almost everything in your list of fics. I like that it's not solely Snape and Harry- even though that's what this website and enjoy Dumbledore and Harry dynamics and hope for more Dumbledore and Snape dynamics as well. Please say you'll be updating this some time soon. Can't wait for you to finish this.

I'm so happy to have an update. This chapter was brilliant. Harry making plans for the future. Dumbledore seems to be taking his responsibility more seriously and can't wait to see more of Severus and what changes are going through his mind. I love Harry's thoughts of how Snape always seems to be thinking of the worst in Harry even in innocent comments. Will Podmore be back again? It would be good to have him back. And Justin too. Brilliant update and hope the next one will be soon :) :) :)
Author's Response: Thanks for the review. No more Podmore. He walked out on Harry and Harry doesn't have time for people like that in his life. He deserves better :p
Harry doesn’t think living in the orphanage is that bad, but he’s tired of being picked on for having no one that wants him. When someone sends word they want to adopt a young wizard, Harry leaves the orphanage to go to his new home. The problem is, there’s been a mistake. Severus Snape would never have requested to adopt Harry Potter, and now that he’s there, he doesn’t want to keep him.

Really good chapter. Loved it - although you kept switching from Lucius to Lucious - autocorrect maybe? Hope we don't have to wait so long for another chapter :)

Chapter was good and I liked the shift in perception - I'm sure it won't be long until Snape wakes up to reality as well. Just wish the chapter was longer :(

I loved reading this fic and slightly disappointed it ended so soon as I could have read a few more chapters. I love all your fics and hope for an update soon.
Harry would never have guessed what moving to a new city with the Dursleys would mean. He also never would have guessed who his new neighbor would be, or that he was being watched... followed... stalked when he went out at night looking for food and safety. Written in response to the Neighbors challenge by Mellow Moon.
