The voices in his head: A Harry Potter riot quest

He brags to Hagrid about his maths skills.
Don't recall that.
Notice he says, 'not even I', suggesting that other lesser wizards would likewise be blocked. If the protection only affected him, he'd have just said 'I cannot touch him there'.
Ur quote implies that the house it protected under Dumbledore not his mother. Doesn't change that the curse isn't that big a hurdle, but I see your point.
 
"Do you mean ter tell me," he growled at the Dursleys, "that this boy -- this boy! -- knows nothin' abou' -- about ANYTHING?"

Harry thought this was going a bit far. He had been to school, after all, and his marks weren't bad.

"I know some things," he said. "I can, you know, do math and stuff. "

Ur quote implies that the house it protected under Dumbledore not his mother.
What do you mean?
Doesn't change that the curse isn't that big a hurdle, but I see your point.
It kind of is a big deal, since according to Dumbledore there's no conventional defences he could create that are guaranteed to work against a fully empowered Voldemort.
'I knew that Voldemort's knowledge of magic is perhaps more extensive than any wizard alive. I knew that even my most complex and powerful protective spells and charms were unlikely to be invincible if he ever returned to full power.

'But I knew, too, where Voldemort was weak. And so I made my decision. You would be protected by an ancient magic of which he knows, which he despises, and which he has always, therefore, underestimated--to his cost. I am speaking, of course, of the fact that your mother died to save you. She gave you a lingering protection he never expected, a protection that flows in your veins to this day. I put my trust, therefore, in your mother's blood. I delivered you to her sister, her only remaining relative. '
 
Voldemort literally attributes the magic protection to Dumbledore there.
"I know some things," he said. "I can, you know, do math and stuff. "
He's defending himself. Rather weakly too. Not bragging. That requires pride. Or the allusion of pride.

That quote implies Voldemort might be mistaken or all Dumbledore did was expand what was already there.

The point I was making is that Harry was never punished for having better grades than Dudley. That's fanon.

It was the latter. He took the protection established by Lily and worked it into more comprehensive form of protection.

Voldemort's probably more focused on what Dumbledore did, since it's less embarrassing for him to have lost to Dumbledore (especially since he just managed to beat Dumbledore's protection), than for him to admit that a Muggleborn witch accidentally made him blow himself up.

"Harry Potter, listen carefully for this is important. If you wish to thwart Destiny you must leave Surrey and head for London to Charing Cross Road. Between a bookshop and a record store you will find the Leaky Cauldron visible only to your magical eyes. "

"Enter, and introduce yourself to the barkeeper Tom. He will escort you to Gringotts Bank in Diagon Alley, where House Potter's inheritance awaits. Mountains of gold coins and silver - you will never have to see the Dursleys again and travel the world learning magic."

"
You must make your way as soon as you can, before you turn eleven. By then it will be too late."

"
If you find you cannot make your way on your own.. Go to Mrs Figg and tell her you know about magic. And that she must take you to Diagon Alley. If she refuses, tell her you want to talk to Professor Dumbledore."

"Fare thee well, Harry Potter. May you escape Destiny's machinations."


London. Charing Cross Road. Leaky Cauldron. Barkeeper Tom. Gringotts. Potter Vault 687.. Mrs Figg.. Dumbledore... (repeat until voice fades...)

It seems to me that before giving Harry advice, we need to prove that we are real, and not a figment of Harry's imagination. Does anyone know of any simple but impressive physical experiments that an eleven-year-old child can perform? For example, turning a kortofel into a battery or something similar. Thus, we will prove to Harry that our knowledge really has weight and is not a figment of his imagination.

Of course! He just needs to follow our advice of punching all of his problems and he will learn how good our advice is :)
 
The Birthday
"Umm, hello," Harry thought in response. "Why are things going to suck? How can things get worse than the Dursleys?" @Swedish15

Harry felt both confused and thankful for the praise. He never got any from the Dursleys. @Epic Bygones

Magic? Is that why the Dursleys hated him so? Is that why strange folks sometimes came up to him on the street? @Soulforce

Harry winced as the loud, insane voice ranted. Ok, maybe this might be worse than it first appeared. @Nigerian Duck

"No, I'm sorry, I've never read that book. But toys come to life sound fun. All my toys are Dudleys broken castoffs." @TheOmnimercurial

Oh dear, that sounds serious. But why would a school be evil? The only reason school was bad for him was Dudley. @NSchwerte

The rambling voice seemed to be very violent. He probably shouldn't listen to it. @Pokemon0406

"What's Hufflepuff?" @OctarineShrike

Harry chuckled. The Dursleys would regard that as a good trade, and they didn't even like turnips. @TheOmnimercurial

Harrys head whirled at the information. His parents weren't drunks? They were murdered by a "Dark Lord" and all this magic stuff? It was hard to swallow. Yet what else could the voices be besides insanity? "I tried telling people, but nothing ever happens. Maybe it's the protective spell?" @OctarineShrike @Doccer

"I'm 10! I'm not going to defeat anyone by punching!" @NSchwerte

A house? Like a boarding school? Is that what Hogwarts was? @Planetary Tennis

Well, he'd always wanted out of the Dursleys and he wasn't afraid of hard work. If good grades got him far in life, he'd do it. @yannoshka

The insane voice was back. @Nigerian Duck

"Who's Hagrid? Is he a wizard?" @Doccer

"My birthdays in a few months, and then I'll be 11. Should I get ready somehow?" @OctarineShrike

Wow, that voice was reverby. "Destiny? Traveling the world? Piles of gold? Are you taking the piss? I'm hardly able to travel to London on my own, I'm 10!" @_brightwing

"Well, I'm hardly going to accept insanity as an explanation.That would please the Dursleys!" @Fghubyygvb

Harry eventually fell asleep and was awoken early the next morning to prepare a birthday breakfast for Dudley. Despite being only 10, years of being forced to cook had made him quite a good one. The fact he didn't get anything to eat if he messed up was a good motivator. Eating his meager meal as Dudley whined about not getting as many presents as last year, Harry ruminated on his new "friends." They seemed…eager to help. Perhaps a bit too eager, some of them.

Eventually, Dudleys tantrum subsided and Uncle Vernon hustled them towards the car. Harry decided to act on the voice's information. "Uncle Vernon, do I have to come to the zoo? Can I stay here?" "What, and have you mess up the place while we're gone? No, boy, you're coming to the zoo, and no funny business."

The trip to the zoo was uneventful, as Harry was distracted by the events of the previous night. Dudley was rude, loud, and coddled, gaining dark looks from other zoo patrons. On returning home, Harry was made to do more chores before being kicked out of the house to wander. He probably wouldn't get beat up by Dudley's gang today, he was too preoccupied with his new presents. There was time to plan and talk to the voices now.

A/N: Please mark stuff you want harry to hear with an [X]
 
[X] "If you need proof that what we say is real, go visit Mrs Fig. Ask her about magic, Hogwarts and Dumbledore. "
[X] "Ask her if she can take you to Diagon Alley. If she refuses, then to Floo Call Dumbledore right now. Tell her to let him know that you have found out about magic and want to chat."

[X] In a way, you could think of us as the greatest unintended gift from your mother, only your continuing life is any greater afterall it was a great sacrifice of hers done out of love for you, not some drunk driving accident.
[X]Let me tell you a bit about your parents, your mother was a brilliant upstanding young woman and your father was a prankster that if you ask in the right place at their former school you will probably still be able to hear the tales of his many pranks. Then again they loved you far more than we the voices could ever tell you.
Felt I had to split it up because it was going a bit long winded.
 
[X] Well, Harry, you are a wizard. Yes, magic is real, but it is kept secret. Going to Mrs Fig is certainly a good choice; she might be able to help. You'll be in danger in the coming years, I'm afraid, but you can also achieve greatness. If you have questions, fell free to think them.

And yes, you can, in theory, avoid all the mess that's coming to you.. but at the same time, there is a great evil you can thwart. Not yet, of course, but in time."
 
[X] Oh whats this? We are connected to a child? Hmmm. Better than the time we got stuck with a pebble...
[X] Important thing you should know, you have the magical ability to talk to snakes in a secret language only you and they can understand and since it's secret, you have to be careful to not let anyone know for now okay?

[X] "To answer your question, magic is at the root of why, but not the entirety of why the dursleys treat you the way they do, in dudley's case it's just a matter of his parents always taking his side despite him being wrong, along with taking cues from his parents opinion of you, so he's both spoiled and lack understanding of the wrongs he has committed."
[X]"For your aunt, it started with disappointment at not being able to go to hogwarts with your mother, developed into jelousy at the attention she got and the wonderous things she was learning, which developed into resentment at a world that took her Sister away from her."
[X]"As for your uncle, it's a mix of hiding his fear of magic behind anger, and about him being in control."

[X]"Revealing your knowledge that magic exists to your neighbor as @_brightwing suggested is a good idea as a confirmation, but I don't think you will get all that far in trying to get in contact with Dumbledor just yet."
[X]"And with how other people are trying to influence your opinion on the four houses of hogwarts, I think it's a good idea to explain it a bit from a neutral source instead of the opinionated reputation and word of mouth nowadays."
[X]"Each of the four houses was made by one of the four founders of Hogwarts, Godrick Griffindor who sought the couragous and noble hearted above anyone else to put under his wing, Helga Huffelpuff who sought loyalty and dedication, Rowena Ravenclaw who sought the curious and studious, and lastly Salazar Slytherin who sought the cunning and ambitious."

[X]"As for Hagrid, he is a half giant, and is the current groundskeeper at Hogwarts, one of the most loyal to dumbledor, and a wizard who never got to finish his education at Hogwarts."

[X] also, the reason why telling someone about magic didn't do anything, isn't because of a spell, but because of magical task forces working to keep magic hidden from most of the non-magical population."

[X]"And one last thing before I head off, with practice and some experimentation, you should be able to cast magic before ever reaching Hogwarts, just like the accidental magic you've cast in the past, all you need to remember is that the need, emotions and will to make it happen should be all you need to make it happen as far as i'm aware."

[X] It's good that you believed us right away, we can skip the stage of proving our reality.
I think it's worth explaining what it means to be a magician.
[X] A magician is a person with hostile magical abilities, in theory, you can already create magic by concentrating will and strong desire, but it is unlikely that you will be able to control magic for this, special training is necessary. But I want to please you, you have a unique gift for communicating and controlling snakes, so you can keep Dudley and his company in check by threatening to set a horde of snakes on their homes.
[X] But back to the usual magic. In the British tradition that you will be taught, magic is created by waving a magic wand and casting a spell.
[X] Now let's move on to Hogwarts, this boarding school for wizards will send you a letter on your birthday and you can study there.
[X] Hogwarts teaches such subjects as:
Transfiguration is the art of transforming one object into another.
Charms - magic that creates various effects.
Protection from the Dark Arts is a complex of spells and methods of protection against hostile magical creatures and magicians.
Potion - making potions with various magical effects.
Herbology - care of magical plants.
Care for magical creatures, do I need to comment on this?
Flying on broomsticks, yes magicians fly on broomsticks.
History of magic.
Astronomy.
[X] If you have any questions, ask and we will try to answer them.

[x] As it happens, you have a godfather named Sirius Black who would be perfectly happy to take you in, but unfortunately he's currently in prison for crimes he didn't commit. However, the person responsible for putting him there, Peter Pettigrew, is currently hiding out in the shape of a rat and pretending to be the pet of one Ronald Weasley. If you write a letter to Professor Dumbledore at Hogwarts telling him so (he can get letters through the regular post), he should be able to secure your godfather's release.

[X] Pokemon doesn't exist yet, it's 1990. The first game will have come out 6 years later. Might be an interesting to give Harry knowledge of the muggle world and major world events though.. *prophecy voice * ahem "Nelson Mandella released from prison and becomes leader of the African National Congress. The most complete skeleton of a T-Rex dinosaur is found in South Dakota, America."

[X] "Pokemon will be a fictional world where thinking animals are enslaved and forced to fight each other to exhaustion while their owners gamble on money and compete. Once you are a wizard you must elimiate one
Satoshi Tajiri if you wish to stay Destiny's hand, Harry Potter."

[X] "
But first you must become a Wizard and enroll to Mahoutokoro, in Japan. Once you inherit your family's fortune, that is. The Potters were an ancient noble House. And you, the sole living heir."

Edit: For the tally

[X] "If you need proof that what we say is real, go visit Mrs Fig. Ask her about magic, Hogwarts and Dumbledore. "
[X] "Ask her if she can take you to Diagon Alley. If she refuses, then to Floo Call Dumbledore
right now. Tell her to let him know that you have found out about magic and want to chat."

I wasn't arguing that. I was arguing the bragging and trying to sus out the implication of being good enough to be that confident of his math skills.

Voldemort's probably more focused on what Dumbledore did, since it's less embarrassing for him to have lost to Dumbledore (especially since he just managed to beat Dumbledore's protection), than for him to admit that a Muggleborn witch accidentally made him blow himself up.
Good point.
"Who's Hagrid? Is he a wizard?"
[X] Father was a Wizard, mother was a Giant that took a shine to him iirc. There's some racist bias against him do to giant heritage. There was a terrible incident while he was a boy at Hogwarts. A number of petrifications. A girl named Myrtle died. The Wizarding government needed to lay the blame on someone so Voldemort, still just Tom Riddle then, set him up saying it was a rare and dangerous spider Hagrid kept as a pet back then. You'll never meet a more trusty a stalwart ally then Hagrid as a friend. But he can't keep a secret to save his life. He can be manipulated to spill secrets if asked the right questions. Also he is barred from practicing magic so don't tell anybody he's disguised his wand as that umbrella he carries everywhere. He's like 16 ft. or so tall. Pure blood giants are twice his size.
-[X] Fair warning: Hagrid views dangerous magical creatures like the way you might view kittens that just want to be loved and respected.

Gonna need more Xs and brackets for each paragraph if you want him to hear all of that in the tally.
? "I tried telling people, but nothing ever happens. Maybe it's the protective spell?"
[X] ... Could be a possibility. Gonna have to think about this. In the mean time let's move on to magic. For a human mage most can't do spells without a wand or words to conduct the magic appropriately. How ever every other magic species that does magic does not. Most envy the wands because of how much easier magic is with them. All the strange incidents that happen around you that the Dursley's blame you for? That was your magic acting up. Until you get your wand all you can do is try to remember your emotional state because magic tends to act up and moments of emotional distress. If you can try to remember that feeling and bringing yourself up to a state but focus with clear intent on what you want to actually happen and you can try to learn magic the old-fashioned way. Be extremely careful though. Make good choices and try to keep it small. Some mages better at some kinds of magic than others and I don't recall what you have a talent for. Just that you can speak with snakes and I remember that because it's an extremely rare ability. Good news though. After you obtain reliable control over your powers. You can threaten the Dursleys with magic for better treatment! Might be better to wait after your first year of Hogwarts though as you'll actually know what you're doing, downside is that the Ministry of Magic tracks spell usage and does not allow underage magic. Involuntary magic use before you get a wand and that first year of schooling like right now is the only time they let underage magic use slide. Upside is no one is going to tell the Dursleys that underage magic is against the law. Buuuuuuut they might notice you using magic intentionally to threaten them now and not performing a lick of magic after. Also I am sure I don't have to say this but I did advise threats so I gotta say it, don't actually do anything cruel or horrible to the Dursleys, especially via magic. I agree your Aunt and Uncle got it coming but Tom Riddle was an Orphan and something of a bad seed who already had a body count of at least 1 before a Hogwarts professor came to pick him up and people like Dumbledore who knew him as Tom Riddle might draw similar comparisons. In your defense, unlike Tom Riddle, you can draw similar comparisons to yourself and Ann Frank in Nazi controlled Germany. Only under the stairs instead in the attic and Wizard terroristic racists instead of German Nazi racists. But unlike her your "protectors" are choosing to raise you with hate, fear, and squalor. With elements of Cinderella.

[X] I think @OctarineShrike has forgotten that in order to call the Knight Bus, one mist possess a wand. You go to the curb and hood it out I'm the same manner you would hold out your hand to hail a cab or taxi.

[X] Probably not relavent now and I'll say something later when it is, but I wanna say something about the wands, and I'll remember better if I state this now.
-[X] Personally I think you should carry 2, second one secretly if possible. Fun Fact: Wand Lore says that the wand chooses the wizard. Which is true. They appear to have some sort of minor will. So much so that that if you fight and defeat a mage while taking their wand away from them the wand will work for you and fail to work properly for the original owner. Bare this in mind if a stranger seems to bugger you with a stick.
-[X] So treat your wand(s) with respect and care for it. Hell name it.

[x]Others Have Explained Hufflepuff quite well. Hogwarts sorts people into the four houses of Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin. The sorting is handled by a mindreading hat that never shares what it learns inside the heads of those it sorts, picking houses based on its opinion of how compatible your personality is with the ideals of the house. In situations of ambiguity(Hufflepuff vs Ravenclaw, or Gryffindor vs Slytherin, or something), it is typically willing to defer to the wishes of whichever student it is sorting. Regarding the subject of preparations, talking to Mrs Figg is a good idea. There's one timeline where the Dursleys attempt to go progressively further out of the way to try and keep you from getting the letters, eventually hiding in a cabin in who knows where. Hogwarts sends Hagrid to find out what's going on in response. Dudley ends up with a pigs tail for a while and Hagrid takes you to get your school supplies.

[x]You might be able to beg free transport off the Knight Bus if you explain your situation to them(It needs wizarding currency normally and the business with Voldemort made you famous among wizards). Your parents vault in Gringotts Bank they passed down to you has a sizable amount of wizarding currency if you can get access to it. You should be able to hail them like you would a mundane, also known as a muggle, bus. If you somehow acquire your Hogwarts letter before they send Hagrid or whoever they send this timeline, you'll want the Knight Bus to take you to the Leaky Cauldron. From there you'll need to get into Diagon Alley. The courtyard behind the Leaky Cauldron, tap the brick three up and two across from the Rubbish bin, or try to follow another wizard inside. One of us will surely remind you if you manage to get there under your own power.

[x]Beyond that the best advice that occurs to me is to try and watch your mail slots once you're 11.

[x]The Voice speaking about Pokemon and Satoshi Tajiri is being silly.

[x]Ah. If Dumbledore, the headmaster of Hogwarts has the vault key and the knight bus necessitates a wand as opposed to just magical talent, then we have less ability to do things at the moment besides contact Miss Figg or wait for them to send someone than I realized. My apologies.
