Apprentice Potter

"There was another student a few years ago at Hogwarts. His mother died and his father disowned him as a child. He spent his childhood growing up unloved, unwelcome and unhappy. Once he turned eleven, he loved his time at Hogwarts, but no matter what he wanted, Dumbledore kept sending him back to the orphanage during the summer." I slammed the lid of my trunk shut and spun to face my old professor.

Actually, Armando Dippet was Headmaster when Riddle was in school, and it was Dippet who he met with and begged to be allowed to stay at the school during break. Dumbles was just the Transfiguration professor.

Hello,

Just a little error when Gabrielle thanked Harry for saving her life : "Je vous remercie de m'avoir sauvé la vie" would be better.
(sauvé and not "sauver")

Thanks. The translation was given to me by a native French woman whom I worked with in the UK (Since my French is limited to asking if someone speaks English...).

Zab Zambini? I've seen his name in other stories. I am curious how you will present this story. Thanks for a new angle. pms

Heheheheh, go Harry! I read this story a while ago, when the first chapter of "Journeyman" had come out, and now I'm reading it again to remind myself of where the story was going. I love seeing pissed-off!Harry, and I just adore seeing Dumbles and Snape put in their place. Nicely done.

Good, now he gets some training and soon maybe soon gets to kick some bad guy tail.
