Chapter 1- The Beginning of the End
The sun was setting over number 4 Privet Drive and Harry Potter was sitting in his room studying a book of defensive charms and shields which to anyone else would seem extremely unusual but Harry is anything but normal you see Harry Potter is a wizard who attends Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry
Shortly after sunset Harry heard something scratching against his window. He went over and saw Hedwig waiting to be let in. After Harry opened the window she flew over and landed on his desk where Harry untied a package from Sirius he quickly opened it and found a letter and a small ball that looked like it was made from the clearest glass you could ever find with a band of gold around it with the incantation: Evocatus Scuti engraved on it. Wondering what it could be he opened the letter and read:
Dear Harry,
With all of the events that took place last year I thought you might get more use out of this than I could it's called a mirror all. To use it all you have to do is say the incantation engraved on it and it will not only protect you from any spell or curse cast on you not only that but it will also reflect it back toward the person that cast it.
Also I wanted to tell you that you are probably going to be seeing a lot more of me this coming year but that's all I can tell you for now I talk to you a the start of term
-Sirius
Harry stared at the letter wondering what he meant when he was going to be seeing him a lot more often, but he didn't have much time to think about that because just after he finished reading four other owls flew in carrying packages of different sizes. He opened the one from Ron first which contained several of Fred and Georges new inventions and a few packs of wizard duel cards from Ron. He set the cards aside so he could open them later and put the rest back in the box. He picked up Hermione's package next and began to open it. Harry had barely opened the package when a bright flash of light filled his room. After the light faded away Harry looked up to find a book floating in the middle of his room giving off a soft reddish glow. Harry reached up and grabbed the book and turned it over to look at the title and was surprised to find that is was a book written by Hermione of some of the more advanced spells she had either invented in school or found in the research she constantly seemed to be doing. Inside the front cover Harry found a note from Hermione
Dear Harry,
I thought that this book might help in some of your classes this coming school year and just so you don't think I'm too obsessed with learning I've also sent you a book on different Quidditch moves and techniques you could try during the Quidditch season
-Hermione
Eager to open his next present he picked up the next package and opened it to find a small bag that seemed to resemble a muggle book bag from Professor McGonagall
Dear Mr. Potter,
With all the events that took place last year I've decided to send you a gift that will be useful this coming school year the bag will hold as many items as you might need to put into it without weighing more than its original weight also if you open the bag you will notice I have included a new broom for you to use for the upcoming Quidditch
I have also written to inform you that I have decided to allow Dudley to attend this year but you will be responsible for making sure that he learns everything he needs to know before the start of term. I will also be sending a letter to Mr. and Mrs. Dursley letting informing them of my decision.
-Headmistress McGonagall
Harry reread the letter again to make sure that he had read it correctly and sure enough he had Dudley would be coming to Hogwarts that is if his parents don't find a way to stop him first. Harry stayed up late trying to decide how and when he should tell Dudley the good news and had finally decided to just before he went to sleep that he would tell him the next morning so that they would have plenty to teach him everything he missed.
The next morning at breakfast Uncle Vernon was in on mood to put up with any surprises and his mood didn't improve when a large barn owl flew in the window and dropped a letter in the middle of his bacon and eggs. Uncle Vernon looked down at the letter and then up at Harry expecting it to about him, but when he opened the letter his face turned the darkest shade of purple Harry had ever seen as he stared in disbelief at the letter. "You had something to do with this didn't you I knew it was a mistake letting stay here. You've been a menace to us ever since you showed up on our doorstep seventeen years ago and we've had enough of it go pack your things you're moving out first thing tomorrow morning"
Harry and Dudley stared at Uncle Vernon in disbelief until Dudley finally asked "But dad where is Harry going to live he's got no place to go?"
Uncle Vernon turned to Dudley with a look of pure rage on his face "You to became such good friends that you had to go and become a wizard just like him. Well look at what your friendship with him has got you" Uncle Vernon said throwing the parchment letter across the table.
Dudley picked up the letter and read and a slight smile spread across his face which he tried to hide but it was too late Uncle Vernon had noticed it and he lost the last little bit of control over himself that he had left. He stood up and went over and grabbed Harry and Dudley and dragged them both upstairs and told them to pack their things they were both being kicked out now instead of just Harry tomorrow morning.
While packing Harry started to think about places the two of them cold stay until it was time to return to Hogwarts and immediately the answer came to him he'd send a letter to Ron asking for help when he was done packing
Dear Ron,
The muggles have finally lost it and are kicking me and Dudley out of the house because they got a letter from Professor McGonagall telling them the Dudley is a wizard and that he was going to be aloud to attend Hogwarts.
We need a place to stay until we catch the train back to school and were wondering since your dad was the new Minister of Magic if he could send a car to pick the two of us up and bring us to your house.
I'll be sending this letter to you using a spell called instant receive that I read about while studying for the owls exams during our fifth year to use it just point your wand at the letter or package you wish to send to someone say the persons name along with the incantation sendarius. I need you to reply as soon as you get this letter
-Harry
Harry quickly folded the letter a muttered the spell that would send it to Ron just as Uncle Vernon walked back into the room "You better be done because it's time to leave" announced Uncle Vernon as he grabbed Harry's trunk and began to carry it down the stairs and out the front door and dropped it next to Dudley who still couldn't accept the fact that his parents were kicking him out of the house for being a wizard. A few minutes later Harry came out to join him followed closely by Uncle Vernon who had just gotten done checking to see if Harry and Dudley had taken all of their things with them then he closed the door and locked it.
