"A Normal Boy"
Story Summary-Harry Potter is a normal boy, with a normal wizarding powers, who has normal friends, but theres something not-so-normal about this boy. Something he may not know yet, but something that will be revealed to him in the near future, something that could change his life forever...
Chapter 1-Summer Spoiled
As he awoke to screams of joy and excitement, Harry Potter put on his glasses and slowly got out of bed. The Dursley's, the family that took him in after his parents were murdered, from what he could here were singing around with joy in their voices.
Harry Potter's parents were murdered when he was just a little baby. An evil wizard, Lord Voldemort, had gone to his house and murdered his parents, turned around to do the same to Harry, and failed. The spell used to attack Harry bounced off the poor baby and rebounded upon Voldemort leaving Harry simply with a lightning shaped scar but reducing Voldemort to almost nothing. He was a less than a ghost, whose only way of surviving was to posses other creatures. But then a horrifying thing happened, Voldemort's servant returned to him, captured Harry, and Harry saw Voldemort return to full human status. Harry barely escaped. Now he has been living with the Dursley's for 2 weeks of summer and always expects to hear Voldemort approaching, or a creaking door followed by footsteps to his room.
Because of this Harry wrote to his best friend Hermoine Granger, asking for anti-dark spells that will help do defend himself incase he needs to. She is good with books and found a few magical forms of protection. Still waiting for a response, Harry worries that he hasb't heard from Hermione in just over 2 weeks. After getting his slippers on, and dragging himself out of the room, he began to descend the stairs to the kitchen.
As Harry reached the kitchen, he began to ask why everyone was so happy.
"What's going on?" he asked nervously realizing that if the Dursleys were happy he probably wouldn't be. He had just now noticed the exceptionally large Mr. Dursley had a check, which Harry could see had at least 5 figures on it , clutched tightly in his hands.
"Your Uncle Vernon has just received a bonus from Grunnings, for $750,000(I know this is in England, but because I don't really know the amount between British money and Amarican, we'll use dollars)! We are going on a vacation to the United States, and YOUR not coming, isn't that fabulous."
"I'm not staying with Aunt Marge am I,"
"NO! We are giving you 3 days to contact whoever you need to, to get your butt out of my house! IF by the time we are ready to go, you have no where to live, I am sending you to the ophanage, now go get your plans in order boy" Uncle Vernon said screaming at him.
Harry went upstairs, not sure if he was happy that he was free of the Dursleys or sad that he didn't have anywere to live anymore. He thought about were he would go, and immediately thought of his best friend Ron, but then remembered that Ron was on vacation in Spain for the rest of the week, Harry needed to be somewere in 3 days. Then his 2nd thought was Hermione Granger, his other best friend. She hadn't responded in a while, but he thought he would write her to ask anyway. Since he couldn't be sure, he needed a backup plan.
Just then, a very strange idea popped into his head, he could ask Dumbledore, since Dumbledore would know the best place to keep him, while still keeping him safe. Yes, he thought, Dumbledore would be the best person to asl. He took out his parchment and quill from a loose floorbaord in his room, and began to write his letter. After about 15 or so minutes, he came up with something he liked. It read:
Dear Dumbledore,
I know that this is a bad time for you, since you are caught up in defending the world agaisnt Voldemort, but the Durseleys are kicking me out, and I need a place to stay. Ron is on vacation, and Hermione hasn't responded to my letter yet, so I'm not sure were she is. I have to be gone in 3 days, so a quick response would be great.
Love,
Harry
Harry, satisfied with his letter, rolled it up, tied it to Hedwig's leg, and told Hedwig that it was very important, and to deliver it as fast as possible. Hedwig nodded, and smiled at the challenge of delivering faster than Harry's expectations.
To Harry's surpise, the letter was delivered extremely fast, becuase he got a response at 2:00 A.M. that night.
Harry was sleeping, and just as he was having a dream about returning to Hogwarts, he heard Hedwig tapping on his window. After realizing that he had to let her in, he got it, and opened the window, and a very riled up Hedwig flew into the room.
She had a letter tied to her leg, and Harry could tell she was happy, because Dumbledore probably gave her a lot of food. Harry untied the letter, unfolded it, and began to read.
Dear Harry,
Times are troubling right now, but we have managed some victories in the fight against evil. Hagrid was suceful with his mission, and I think Professor Snape is being as convicing as he needs to be, however we have lost contact with Sirius, and I will get worried if I don't here from him soon. In reguards to your dillemma, it could not have come in a better time. My old friend Tiki just moved back to England from South America, and it would be perfect for you to stay with her, but do to the curren circumstances, she will pick you up. I want you to be ready to go, as soon as you read this, because her arrival will come soon after.
Take Care,
Dumbledore
