Rating: M
Genre: Humor
Status: WIP (solid update rate)

Summary: Harry's escaped from Azkaban and wants Revenge! Now this isn't your normal everyday kind of revenge, Harry is a second generation Marauder with a bone to pick with just about everyone that thinks they can just discard him like a worn out shoe.

This is the kind of "betrayed by all, sent to Azkaban" story I could grow to like. Harry is not ranting, angsting or killing his betrayers - he's pranking them. First two chapters are a bit weak and unrealistic (especially the way he conveniently stumble upon the treasure trove of knowledge), but the things really heat up in the next two, when the prank war starts.
All in all, the story is A-OK, offers a good laugh now and then, but not hilarious in any way. Good read.
Excript:
Glancing around, he sensed something coming and turned just to see the darkness fold in on itself and a man in dark gray robes suddenly stood in front of him. He had long dark grey hair, wrinkled face, and using a staff to walk. Harry noted the horned skull on top of the staff and it reminded him of the last time he saw Mrs. Weasley.
"Hello boy."
"Yo."
"You, of course, know who I am?"
"Not a fucken clue."
The old man bonked him over the head with the staff. "I am…"
"Gandolf the Grey?"
"No."
"Merlin?"
"No."
Harry frowned. "I'm running out of names of old geezers here."
Bonk!
"Ow!"
"I'm, Agrippa!"
Harry stared at him blankly. "Yeah right."
The old man grumbled and coughed. "Nicolas Flamel, or his astral projection anyway."
