52Disclaimer: If owed Harry Potter and the co. then I would be a better writer and wouldn't be afraid of reviews now would I? So I have to say that so all I only own this text and it's idea.
Life for Harry at number four, Privet drive had always been a nightmare for
him for a long time, but now at the eve of his Fifth year at Hogwarts it was
nothing short of torture. No wait, torture doesn't cut it. It was pure Hell. His relatives had
decided that the fact that Dudley hadn't been able to lose weight was not
because he was as fat as a fully-grown walrus but because Harry had
bewitched him and had for that moment forgotten the law for the underage
use of magic. And on top of it all, because Dumbledore had deemed it unsafe,
Harry couldn't go the Weasleys for the summer and he couldn't even go to Diagon alley to buy his supplies, that were delivered to him at the start of the summer by owl.
So there sat Harry at his birthday locked in his room and since the door was
locked he received food by a flap that had been installed. His only
consolation was that he had been able to keep his schoolwork with him and
the window kept unbarred so if you looked at number 4 early in the morning or
late at night you could see owls coming and going everyday. His friends had
sent him food and information from the wizarding world. So far there were
only a few minor attacks by Death Eaters and Fudge still refused to
acknowledge Voldermort's return. But at his birthday the number of owls he
received had increased. In his room there were presently seven owls and an
unknown bird.
Confused by all the owls, Harry started to take the packages from the birds.
One package from Hermione that was with Hedwige, one from Ron that was with
Pig, There was one from each of the owls he recognized as school owls (2).
There was a package from a red and gold owl at which he starred at for a long
time (and who kept starring right back at him), and one from a small delicate snowy owl. There were also packages from
each of the other two owls and one from the bird that insisted in playing
with Pig in what appeared to be a game of tag, with Hedwige glaring at them both in a manner reminiscent of Professor McGonagall. A letter accompanied each of
the packages.
"This is new." Harry told his owl, which gave him a look of annoyance and
turned her head to her now occupied cage. Harry was used to people not
even acknowledging his existence during the summer, so the sheer number of owls now present in his room surprised him.
Harry started with the school owls.
The first had a box of chocolate frogs from Hagrid with a note:
Harry,
Sorry but I didn't have time to make rock cakes for you (Harry winced
and thought back to the last time he had eaten one of Hagrid's cakes ).
Madame Maxime and me are in a special top secret mission
for Dumbledore can't tell you more she sends a hello, Happy Birthday.
Bye.
Hagrid.
The second owl had his school supply list and a letter informing that he,
Hermione and Ron were the new prefects (The number of prefects peer house
Had also been increased due to security reasons...Which he thought was
unnecessary. Along with his badge, there was the password to the
prefect's bathroom; to the Common Room and saying
that he was expected to ride in the prefects compartment in the ride to
Hogwarts. But that wasn't it. The letter also said that they were expected to
welcome, with open arms, a transfer student from Brazil, should she be sorted
in his house. He imagined Ron's reaction to being a prefect. It wasn't going
to be pretty. Quite the opposite of Hermione's reaction, who probably would
be surprised and happy even though she would be the only one who would be
surprised that she had been made a prefect.
There was also note at the bottom asking him to talk with Professor Dumbedore
after the feast. And to his great relive his marauder's map with small note.
Use it to make your father proud I have a felling tat we'll need more laughs
then the ones the Weasleys Twins can provide alone.
That only reassured his suspicions regarding the old mage's sense of humor
and his, Ron and Hermione' s (after **much** convincing) resolve to reinstall the
marauder's order in the school by making the Neo-marauders. They had already
began to prepare them:
Hermione was researching Animagus, Ron was taking notes from the Twins and
Harry was learning from Sirius's (who was more then willing to help) stories
and tales and was also in charge of finding the precious map.
He saw the letters from Pig and Hedwige but decided to open them later so he
could appreciate his friend reactions more along with the presents that they
had sent to learn of their progress.
The small snowy owl had a black sleek watch, that showed in digital numbers,
the time and also had instructions so you could program it to tell you where
certain people were. It was like the one at the Weasleys but with no
pointers. Imagining who could have given him the expensive gift he started to
read the letter, which was written in a delicate flowing handwriting.
Cher Harry,
Happy birthday I'm sending you this watch to replace the one you lost in the
second task while saving Gabrielle, thank you again for that, and I'll see
you at Hogwarts, I got a job there as the new divination teacher now that your
old professor has retired.
Bises,
Fleur D.
When Harry read the letter he couldn't help but to grin broadly, the old Bat
was gone. He almost let out a scream of joy that Fleur was teaching now. That
would be an interesting experience. Thought Harry. He would reply later.
The next letter he opened was from Sirius and Professor Lupin. This was the
letter being carried by the u.f.a. (Unnamed flying animal). This time it bore
no tails of their adventures and pranks but a package of chocolate, a book on
seekers, and a kit for the N-M to use for pranks with muggle and wizarding
items. Also his parent's year book that they found while cleaning Lupin's
basement. Lastly a book on advanced magic that had everything from DADA and
transfiguration to runes and arithimancy and all in between, yet it was
strangely light and small for a book with over a thousand pages. Magic of
course Harry hit himself on the head. Who ever could have wrote this book
could certainly make it lighter and more compact. Duh... The letter ached to
the box that carried it all went like this:
Dear Harry:
I hope that this will help you in this school year with your work (the book),
your games sports life (the other book) your friends (the kit) and your
spirit. It will do you good to talk with your parents in the yearbook. It was
Jame's and he bewitched, by imputing his and lily's personality in there, the reason was that is he ever had kids, it would be a good way to help them with their life, while not having to interfere directly in a gronwupish (and yes he did use the same word…James had a thing for inventing word, drove your mom crazy when they were teaching you your first words) way, so now you can talk to a seventh year marauder (a brilliant one at that) for clues on pranks and girls. James's was expert before he started dating Lily. I'll see Love Padfoot
if I can find more of their stuff here later. Moony says hello, happy
birthday and to await a surprise this coming year!
PS: if your scar hurts write to Professor Dumbledore and me!
PPS: Play a lot pranks this coming year!
PPPS. I know this is useless but try to stay out of as many
dangerous situations as you can.
Harry couldn't believe it. Now could talk to his father and mother! And
the books he received were wonderful. Along with that kit he could now study
the book during the summer (he already finished his homework and his fifth
year books earlier in the month) and talk to his parents. Harry wasn't
ecstatic about studying but he could learn some new curses and tricks that
could be useful against the Slytherin's.
The next package was from Ron's brother Charlie. It was new pair of dragon hide
gloves, a belt made of the same hide and a pair of boots along with appeared
to be a dragon tooth in a string.
The letter read:
Dear Hary,
The dragon that you faced in that first Task last year has skinned so I'm
sending you what was made out of part of her skin along with one of her
teeth's. They said it gives you luck and protection and I think you'll need
it this year.
Charlie
The color of the next owl was soon explained, it was from the
Weasley twins
Hey Harry
How you doing? How the muggles treating you? It's a shame that you couldn't
come this summer to our house. Ron told us of your new philosophy for the
upcoming year and we are teaching him the art of playing pranks. It is a
complicated art that requires full dedication and he has been a good student.
Ron mentioned that someone was tutoring you with experience and
accomplishments when it comes to pranks. We expect that if it is the case, then
You could tell us whom, for we overheard him mention "PADFOOT AND MOONY"
Is that true? Oh by God tell us who they are! Gred and Forge PS.: We've bought Ron the dress robes like you asked, blue ones. PPS: like the color of Wheyne? (our new owl)
Anyways, moving on, we have decided to make you a silent partner in our
business since you are our main sponsor. That means we'll supply you with
prank material and after were established, a portion of our profits. We
have enclosed a first batch of our products...oh and happy birthday see you
at Hogwarts!
Oops Fred and George
Taking a look at the items that were in a box marked WWW, Harry grinned
again. This day couldn't be better...
Finally he opened the package that Pig brought. Inside was a book on
Quiddicth tactics and a chocolate cake.
The letter was like this:
Hey Harry,
How are the muggles, horrible I presume? So I decided to try out to the team
this year, I hope I can make it! So anyway the twins have been bothering me
about Padfoot. They accidentally they heard me talking to Herm about it. She
came here this week, but I have obtained some useful advices from them for
our new organization... can you believe we are prefects? Percy was outraged
because I quote " all you do is brake rules all the time" while he had to be
Mister Perfect in school in order to get his badge. We'll be able to reduce
points from the Slyterins! Hermione was shocked with her new position but no
one else was surprised with it. You heard about the new transfer student? I
hope she's a Gryffindor!
-Ron
PS.: Happy B-day
The letter from hermione was along the same lines as Ron's but it told him of
the progress to become an animagus. She had acquired most of the ingredients
so they could start brewing the potion when they arrived and would most
likely be able to become an animagus by Halloween. It also said that the she
was surprised with her new post as prefect but that wasn't going to stop her
resolution to become a prankster, as long as they weren't caught. And to his
surprise she would try out to the Quidditch team as well. Her present to
Harry was a copy of his favorite book, Quidditch through the ages.
The rest of the summer flew by, as Harry got know his parents through the
picture and talked to his friends and read his new books. Sooner then he
expected he was standing in the platform nine and ¾ looking at the Hogwarts
express.
A.N.: I would like to say that I hope that the new character I'll introduce
is not a Mary-Sue and I want to know what kind of flaws she should have, I'm open to suggestions regarding it all, if you one have on e-mail me,
And last but not least Pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
review!
