Oy! Another day at the Dursely's on Pivet Drive. But today was a little better. He was on a walk and he was on a cell phone… talking to Hermonie! Yeah! Isn't that great! He could actually talk to somebody for 30 minutes each day.

"So how has your summer been so far Harry?" Hermonie said into the phone. She was sitting on her bed hoping the best for him. Stuck there.

"Dull, just completely dull Hermonie. Nothing ever happens over here. You're are so lucky to live with people who notice you're alive. I usually have to remind Aunt Petunia to feed me."

"Harry I'm so sorry. I would have invited you over for the summer but you know…my parents are muggles, I think it would be kinda weird if a wizard showed up."

Harry walked over to a lake and sat down at the water's edge.

"I guess it would be" he said sadly

"Well, there's only a few more days until Hogwarts Harry, I think you'll make it" She said slightly laughing.

"Yeah, well…" Harry started. He stared across the lake. There was something there. It didn't look like a person though or a pet.

"Harry?" Hermonie asked questioningly.

It had disappeared, where did it go? Harry just ignored it.

"Oh? What? Oh yeah, well, I just can't wait till we go back, what about you?"

All of a sudden something grabbed Harry and pulled him into the water.

He dropped his cell phone and it hung up on Hermonie.

"Harry? Harry you there? Hello? Answer me, hello?" She hung up and sat there wondering what happen to the connection. He couldn't have just hung up on me. He just asked me a question.

"Something not right" she said to herself.

Harry was struggling against the creature that dragged him in the lake. It was awfully powerful and pretty big.

"Get off me you!" he screamed at the thing. But it did not listen.

Just then, a flicker of white light appeared in front of Harry. And unexpectedly, a wand was floating on top the water. It confused Harry a bit but grabbed it anyway.

"Deletrius!" Harry yelled but as he did a flare of blue glow swept the lake. Harry was all of a sudden spinning and swirling. A Deletrius spell isn't blue, what happened?

He landed with a large thud on the ground.

"Harry!" Someone was running towards him, it was Hermonie, she almost knocked him back down with a hug.

"Harry…what happened…why are you soaked??" Stepping away from him noticing she was all wet.

"Well…" he began but then there was a loud voice from behind them. Looking around Harry become aware that there were people all around them.

"Mr. Potter, Miss. Granger"

They turned around and who they saw was sitting at a high desk and a mallet.

They were in a court! It was Cornelius Fudge!

"Court has began, please approach the bench, both of you."

Has Harry sat at the bench he saw someone he DID NOT want to see there.

Lucius Malfoy

Yet there was Dumbledore.

"Okay, Court as come to order, the case: underage wizards using magic outside of Hogwarts." Fudge said looking down at a piece of paper.

Harry looked over at Hermonie, he knew why he was there but Hermonie?

"I sent you that wand Harry, I just knew something had gone wrong" She said, knowing exactly why he was confused.

Malfoy came to question them.

"Mr. Harry Potter, did you use magic this past few hours?

"Yes"

"And Miss. Hermonie Granger, Did you?"

"Yes Sir"

"I see…" Mr. Malfoy said looking at the ground, stroking his chin.

He looked up and said, "

"Well, I think Expulsion would do nicely Mr. Fudge."

"What?" Harry said

"No!" Hermonie yelled

"Dumbledore" Harry turned to him.

He stood up with a mischievous smile on his face.

"Fudge, have you not forgotten? The rules says it is allowed to use magic in a dire emergency. Obviously, Harry was about to be killed…I think that qualifies him."

"Yes, but what about Miss, Granger?" Malfoy spat.

Harry looked over at Hermonie, she looked truly petrified.

Will Hermonie go to Hogwarts?
