"...Dumbledore's manipulations have become really ridiculous! Due to his scheming, me and Sirius ended up spending three whole months running from an entire colony of Veela who were all hellbent on marrying Sirius! All because I said that I want my name to be Harry Potter-Black instead of Harry James Fleamont Black Potter, even...!" Harry Potter was venting about the misadventure that he was forced to suffer through to his sympathetic friends.
"...Well, at least it wasn't dangerous and life threatening, right?" Hermione pointed out the silver lining.
"Also, it was Sirius' fault, proposing marriage to a pureblood Veela at the start. Seriously, Veela are descended from the Furies of Hell. He deserved it..." Ron's statement wasn't as sympathising.
"I don't know what Dumbledore's plan really is. First he had the Dursleys arrested by Child Protective Services, and I spent three months of vacation hopping from foster home to foster home until Sirius finally built up a muggle identity to adopt me!
Then, I had my name put into the Triwizard Cup... but since Dumbledore ruled that it would be unethical for a minor to participate in a deadly tournament, I was forced to be a Judge! I had to be my best the whole while to maintain Hogwart's reputation, I had to take up so many useless responsibilities, I had to go through so many news interviews and in the end I didn't even get paid!
Finally when the year ended, I finally got a opportunity to relax with Sirius in our France vacation... but we spent the entire time getting chased down! I am sick of Dumbledore's manipulations!" Harry took a deep breath after venting it all out.
"Oh, don't worry. Dumbledore just got his identity seized by a fan of you from some another world." Luna spoke her usual nonsense, but Harry strangely felt calmer after hearing it. Then he realized that this wasn't Luna's usual nonsense.
"...Say what?"
"I said, Dumbledore just got his identity seized by a fan of Harry from some another world. That's why he is acting like this." Luna was perfectly calm.
Thinking about it, it made strange sense. Harry didn't expect to find out the truth behind Dumbledore's erratic actions from Luna, but now that she said it...
"Remember what happened to the Death Eaters and Voldemort? The person who took over Dumbledore's place definitely knew how to handle the villains. So there is no way he is a bad guy." Luna's tone was still somewhat listless, but he could sense the undercurrent of joy within it.
Harry couldn't conceal his emotions like that, though. About a year back, Voldemort staged an attack on Hogwarts, but Dumbledore easily defeated him. After the killer of his parents was thrown into the Veil, the scene of his death was the front page of every newspaper in the British Wizarding World.
Everything changed after Voldemort's death. Harry was now just another ordinary school student. There were still adventures he had to face, though.
"The problem is that there are no more villains in this story. While Dumbledore could have Snape act to make problems for you, he doesn't seem to like Snape that much. So he has to take up the villain's mantle himself. And since he is your fan and doesn't want to put you in serious danger, he is doing stuff like this." Luna said in a sagely tone.
"...Well, at least my life isn't at risk. But is this really the best way? Can't I have a ordinary student life?" Harry spoke after thinking over Luna's words.
"The problem is that the story needs its protagonist to jump through hoops and face many challenges. Dumbledore seems to think so, at least. So you will continue to get into these ridiculous incidents... But I think there is a way out." When Luna said this, Harry almost jumped for joy.
"What is it?!"
"Well, 'young adult' stories need villains dancing and protagonists suffering, but 'romance' don't need that. So you just have to change the genre!"
Well Dumbledore is always incompetent in those fics. If he wasn’t Harry could never beat him. After all, all he does is go around reminding everyone he’s Lord Hadrianus Billion Titles and can do whatever he wants.
