Well, that is certainly an interesting start, I would be interested to know Dumbledore and the Order's reactions, with Harry popping up missing. I would also think that for what Fudge pulled to fly, he'd have to haul in Hermione, Neville, Luna, Ron, and Ginny. At any rate, I would think that even if Fudge managed to keep to proceedings secret, (a virtual impossibility) that Dumbledore would be tipped off fairly fast about Harry's abduction. Regardless, after this, even if for only a couple of months in the summer, I could easily see Harry sayin sod the wizarding world and going muggle. I look forward to seeing where you take this story.Griffon Reborn

interesting ideal! So fudge with the help of malfoy railroaded harry into azkaban and with the sealed trial and everything nobody knows where harry is and the ones that do cant talk! clever...but is fudge and umbitch deatheaters or just your ordinary bigoted pureblood politicians!?!Griffon Reborn

An interesting beginning, the strategy of Fudge as well as the scheming of Lucius are very in character with canon and provide the means of sending Harry to Azkaban far more neatly than in OofP. I just wonder how the Head of the Wizengamut could be left ut of the loop in the trial and how he is stymied from doing anything when he finds out.

You iknow something, I just answered my own questions. Since the trial is sealed Dumbledore would never know it happened. The Dursleys will be implanted with the memory that Harry just ran away and DD and all Harry's "friends" will accept it. You will need to deal with whatever minders were on duty that night but either an insider for the Ministry or Voldemort would do it or even leave it to Mundungus to get stunned while he was asleep to keep it close to canon.
Everyone assumes Harry ran away, Ginny and the rest give up on him, maybe even get married in the intervening 10 years. They will be in their mid twenties when Harry gets out. It would only be when someone stumbles across Harry's release records that the Order will realize what happened. It might be fun to have Rita Skeeter be the one to find the records and break the story!

Thank you for the input! I'll admit, I took some of your suggestions and built on them for a few of the plot holes I was struggling with. I'm sure you can see them in chapter two. :)
Credit given where credit due!Griffon Reborn

A very interesting start. I severely doubt that Harry is going to be able to survive 10 years of that without breaking down and what gets built from those ruins may be nothing at all like Fudge, Lucius, or Albus ever intended or wanted.
I wonder how Hedwig is going to take what's happening to Harry and if Hermione will fathom what's gone down from that reaction? It could be rather interesting if she's the only one insisting something bad happened to Harry and is shunned, ignored, etc. for sticking to it. Somehow, I doubt that Dumbles would exert that much influence to save Harry, even if he did find out what happened after the fact. Of course, this now leaves things open for Tommy-boy and I wonder how Fudge will take it when he shows up and takes over? Especially if he finds out that he did Tom's dirty work for him?Author's response
Hmm... Have you been reading over my shoulder as I type my future chapter notes? ;)
You're close, but I have a few more twists to throw in to the mix. Chapter three will shadow some things to come, but I want to take this slowly. Build up to a believable and satisfactory end.
Thank you for your input!Griffon Reborn

you came up with a pretty good reason why he was in there. I hope you update soon.Griffon Reborn

Hmm. I hope the next chapters are better because this is dull cliche.
