The last year was a real eventful year for Harry Potter, comparable to the previews year with first meeting Voldemort and protecting the Philosophical Stone. Now he saved Hogwarts again from him and the Basilisk in the Chamber of Secrets that almost killed Ron's sister Ginny and petrified others that almost destroyed Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. But in a way it was a good year he humiliated Malfoy whom his father bought an entire set of Nimbus 2001 for the Slytherin quidditch team aside, together with the accident in which he broke his arm because of a house elf whom he set it free and a nasty event of a flying car while trying to get to Hogwarts on time and others.
For him the events were a challenge but his good time was over and now he had to go from Platform nine and three quarters to number four Private Drive. This gave him the dread, he tried to have a quite summer tricking his relatives on the things he had learned but it didn't worked when Dobby interfered and a letter was sent that made the others realise that he couldn't use magic outside school. He could only think of the letter that they have sent the previous Christmas that said if he could stay at Hogwarts during summer as well. Thinking about it this will be a wish that he wanted to happen.
He continued to walk till he made it outside thinking to see the Dursley car but instead of it a woman in his middle years wearing formal clothing and holding a piece of paper which he kept checking as he was walking to him.
"Harry Potter?" She asked him while been on his right side. Her voice was caring in contrast to her attire.
"Yes?" Said the 12 year old turning to her while she held her hand to shake his.
"My name is Sara Williams, I am with the Child Welfare Service. I am here to inform you to the fact that we have received a report from your deputy headmistress about your mistreatment at the Dursley family not long before the end of school year. We kept track with her and send several letters to which she replied to and we also found several years of complains from your primary school teachers regarding your care on record." This explanation really took him by surprise; he always thought they were all ignored.
"Wait someone reported all of that I thought it was totally ignored."
"It wasn't just one at least 7 reported as well as your former school mates. Some reached my office how I missed them I don't know. We went to investigate it and found the cupboard under the stairs as well as the room where you have been relocated to. The cupboard was declared unfit for you and so it was decided to take action. Your uncle and aunt are in this moment restrained in and await your testimony. If you want we can record it so you wouldn't have to see them anymore." She said.
"That would be nice." He said still couldn't believe what he was hearing.
"We have made some research and found some relatives on your mother's side who live in the US and gladly accepted to take you in. Your uncle and aunt together with your cousins run an equestrian riding school" She said.
Now this made something like a boulder to drop in his stomach, he will have to leave Britain and move to America away from Ron, Hermione and everyone at Hogwarts the main question is now did they have a magical education system in America.
"Your deputy headmistress of your school you attended those 2 years, Hogwarts yes? Gave us a list of sister schools where you could attend and would accept your enrolment. Many of them, especially in Canada cooperate with Hogwarts." Harry thought for a moment about this prospect he doesn't like the fact that he has to leave Britain and everyone here (with the exception of the Dursleys of course) to go to America especially, that he doesn't know his relatives miss Williams talked about but on the other hand maybe it is worth a try.
"I agree. So what are their names?"
-At Horseland-
It was mid day everyone was practicing dressage with they're horses nothing much had happened during that day with the exception of the fact that it was the first day of Summer and that meant only one thing; 3 months to spend only with they're horses and with each other. But no one except Will and Bailey expected that they will soon be joined by a very special person, they're cousin Harry from Britain whom they just heard of from Bailey's father, he and Ava were preparing to take him from the airport before they called both boys to them. They didn't stayed too much before going back to the girls whom they got curious about what was happening.
"Hey Bailey where are your parents going?" Asked Sara.
"Well they have to go to the airport to take our cousin, he will be staying with us at Horseland from now on." Said Will.
"Oh great I can't wait to meet him maybe we can ride together." Said the afro American girl named Molly.
"Yeah well maybe after he is taught the basics at least." Said Will a bit embarrassed.
"What do you mean by that?" Asked Chloe Stilton.
"Well, he wasn't allowed to ride. Or much better to say he was rather persecuted all his life, the relatives he had to stay with put him to sleep most of his life in a cupboard under the stairs." Said Bailey which shocked all the girls.
"Ahà caramba, why would they do that?" Asked Alma. The two boys picked at each other knowing that they couldn't mention they're cousin's secret of been a wizard.
"Well in a way father told us that the relationship between his mother Lily and his aunt Petunia wasn't very good at all. Petunia was always jealous of Lily for things she was interested in and, dad also told us that her sister always called her 'freak' for that." Said the dark brown haired boy.
"And not to mention that she married a very good looking person named James. Uncle John and Aunt Ava attended their wedding they told us that they were the perfect couple."
"Abusing a child out of jealousy now this is totally immature even for they're standards." Said Chloe
"Actually it was because they were doing spells." Said Chilli monotonous, even though they couldn't understand him every horse knew about the boy because aside from the fact that a member from the child welfare was here to inform them of what happened there was also a wizard from the American wizard community that was responsible for him and the second one a male human made a levitation spell on a small chair to show them that it wasn't a joke. He and Pepper are a bit nervous about meeting him.
"But wait a minute how on Earth did he get to them?" Asked Zoe Stilton.
"It seems that his parents died when he was one year old and from that moment the agony started." Will said.
"How he survived there we really don't know." Bailey said.
"Good that he will stay here from now on right." Said Sara.
"Yeah, I can't wait to meet him although he might be a bit shy at first." Said Bailey.
"Plus it will be great to have another pair of helping hands around the ranch we really are in need." Said Will.
"Especially with some of us." Said Bailey referring to the Stilton twins.
"Great and when will he arrive?" Asked Noni.
"Unfortunately only tonight and you will manage to meet him only tomorrow." Said Will.
"Yeah there will be a problem, I will have to stay home my father has a meeting with a business partnered and I can't come." Said Sara.
"And I will have to stay home because I must take care of my little sister." Said Molly.
"Too bad but what about you Alma, Noni?" Will asked.
"I am all right tomorrow I can come." Said the Mexican girl.
"So am I." Said Noni.
"Count on us. And by the way what is his name?" Asked Chloe.
"Harry Potter."
Near the stables the other animals were listening to the conversation on the new comer. The cat Angora was really teasing the fact that a wizard will come and stay with them from now on.
"Why they are so excited about the fact that he will come, if only they knew that he is a wizard they wouldn't be so excited." Said the cat Angora.
"Now, now Angora you shouldn't judge someone for having those unusual abilities like the one of doing magic."
"A nice trick I would wish to see is how he could turn a pig into a frog." Now this caught the limbs of little Teeny.
"Ahhh, I really don't want to be turned into a frog I want to remain a pig I like been a pig. I don't want to be a frog." She said burying her head in the dirt.
"You don't need to listen to Angora Teeny we shouldn't judge a person for doing unusual things."
"Shep is right maybe he is a nice guy who knows we might see some other trick like getting a bone from a hat." Said Cubby laughing.
Later that evening after everyone left and the sun was setting the car came around, Bailey and Will were there to meet they're cousin at last. When the door opened out from it came a boy with messy dark hair with eyes green like emeralds wearing round framed glasses all wearing black clothes holding covered a cage.
"Hey you must be Harry? Isn't it?" Asked Bailey.
"Yes, that's me."
"I'm Bailey your cousin and this is Will welcome to Horseland." He said smiling.
"I'm glad that I'm here." He said smiling shyly.
"We will make you the tour around tomorrow after you establish in your room." Will said helping him get his bags from the back of the car just in that moment Shep came together with Angora, Teeny and Cubby.
"It seems some couldn't wait to meet you." Said the blonde boy.
"And they are?"
"Harry meet Shep." Said Bailey pointing at the large collie dog. "Angora." Pointing to the Turkish cat. "Teeny and Cubby." Pointing to the small pig and little puppy.
"Some of the animals I will have to take care of here at Horseland aside from the other horses of the students here. I can't wait." Said smiling.
"Haha, how did you know?" Asked his cousin.
"Been at the countryside at an equestrian riding school, it is easy to notice." He said.
"You don't look too bad about been here and having to work here." Said Will.
"Unlike back at the Dursleys I might enjoy here. At least no dogs will chase me like what happened when I have to go to uncle Vernor' sister Marge she is a dog breeder but she is sometimes mistreat the dogs she is raising by putting them to sometimes attack one another if they don't behave properly in her own thought."
"Someone should report this and close her up, no animal deserves to be mistreated or make them attack someone. Good thing that we never met them." Bailey said.
"Wished to have been the same for me." He said before hearing a screech from the cage and Shep started to bark.
"Oh by the way what is in the cage? By the look of it, it is surely a bird and if it is you should keep it away from Angora." Said Bailey.
"Yeah it's not the usual kind of bird." He said taking off the cover showing a purely white like snow owl.
"An owl, now this is really new."
"What I can't believe is how you were allowed to have an owl."
"The grounds keeper back at Hogwarts Hagrid bought it for me in my first year on my birthday. From what I could tell is the fact that back in Britain the wizards use owls to deliver mail and they return to their owner with ease."
"A faster way to send a message better then a post man if I could say so." Said Bailey.
"In a way I could say."
"All right boys you can talk all day about the magic stuff tomorrow right now is only setting up, change and sleep." Said Ava.
"Yes mum right away." Said Bailey while all three boys went inside, for Harry it seemed that its new home wouldn't be like back at private drive but right now it will be just setting in. After setting in his new room he was ready for sleep, today was really a tiring day flight over the ocean with the plane to get to the States with Mrs. Williams, meeting his relatives, not to mention the long journey to Horseland and the rest. But for now the day was off even though he will not manage to see his friends back at Hogwarts for a time, good thing that he had sent letters to them telling where he will be going. The only thing he wished right now was next; even though he will stay in America he hoped that he could go to Hogwarts, thing which sure is impossible at the present moment. The only thing he could now consider was the future days where he could spend time with his cousins and the other students they told him about.
"Well Hedwig let's hope nothing will go bad in the future here." Harry said to his owl who seemed to approve, before he could say something else he thought about the horses in the stable, the horses that belong to the others this really brought concern because of the fact that he didn't had his own horse and if there was a magic outburst he could injure one by mistake and this is something he doesn't want and on the other hand he wouldn't be able to be with the group.
"I now regret I don't have my own horse. I really do." He whispered.
