Summary
Dumbledore doesn't make it in time for Harry's trial, and the outcome is very different. Harry is expelled, his wand snapped.
But he refuses to give up. And he is done waiting around for Albus Dumbledore to give him information.
Deciding to take his life into his own hands, Harry asks for training from several Order members, preparing himself to fight Voldemort while the whole wizarding world believes he's helpless and back in the muggle world.
Meanwhile, his friends are at Hogwarts, tackling their own problems in the form of Dolores Umbridge. Harry hadn't expected the separation to be so difficult - or for a certain mischievous redhead to make the waiting game they'd entered into so very excruciating.
He might have lost his home in Hogwarts, but with Sirius and Remus around, Harry begins to learn that rebuilding a family isn't as hard as he'd anticipated.

Summary
“S’okay, kid,” the woman smiled. “Started running away myself when I was a bit older than you. Took a few times before it stuck, but definitely worth it, each one. Do you actually have someplace you’re going, or is this a get-as-far-away-as-possible trip?”
The dog barked twice. Harry shot it a scowl as the woman chuckled. “No one asked for your input.” A lolling tongue and doggy grin answered him.
“Right, then.” The car stopped. “You and the mangy beast want a lift?”

Summary
It started, as many things did, with Cedric. They had been stronger when they worked together, a Hufflepuff and a Gryffindor, embodying the best traits of their house each and using them to fight and win against the spider in the maze. It had been the seed of an idea that bloomed in Harry’s fifth year—the Houses were stronger together. To survive, he needed not just bravery, but hard work, wisdom, and resourcefulness too.
It wasn’t just about him, either. They all needed each other.
