Harry Potter and the hall of Memories part 1.
Tap. Tap. TAP!
"
Huh?" Harry Potter suddenly woke up to this tapping noise. He sat up, put his glasses on
and looked around his room. Well, it wasn't really his room, but he slept there and kept
his few muggle possessions in there. All of his other possessions, including his
invisibility cloak, firebolt and Maundres map, were all kept in a trunk at the end of his
bed. These were the only signs that some one else actually used this room. The room was
actually his cousin Dudley's 2nd bedroom, where he kept the things that either wouldn't
fit into his first bedroom, he had broken or they were books, which look as if they had
never been touched.
TAP TAP TAP! Harry looked around to find the source of this noise, which became apparent
straight away. An owl was tapping at his closed window, with a large envelope attached to
it. He got up and opened the window, and the large owl soared in and landed on the
bookcase. Harry took the envelope off of the owl's leg, the opened his own owl's,
(Hedwig), cage. The owl flew over and took a quick drink, before flying out of the window,
over the house roofs, then out of sight. Once he could not see the owl any more, he turned
the envelope over and saw the Hogwarts crest, ('H'), and tore the envelope open.

Dear Mr. Potter,
As you are well aware, this year you are about to begin your fifth year at
Hogwarts. I don't feel I need to tell you about this year, as I am aware that you will
remember the events that took place towards the end of last year, and what that means for
you.
You will not be put under any special guard, as I am absolutely certain that you will do
you best to stay out of trouble this year. So, therefore it my duty to inform you that
this year all of the teaching staff and myself are going to try and make it as normal year
for you and you fellow students as it can be.
Enclosed is a list of all the nessaciary books and equipment. Term starts on 1 September.
Yours sincerely,
Albus Dumbledore
Headmaster.
Harry went on to the second piece of parchment, shocked and amazed that he had actually
gotten a letter from Professor Dumbledore. Usually,

Uniform:
The fifth year uniform has not changed.
Set Books:
All fifth year students are required the following:
The Intermediate book of spells (grade 5) by Miranda Goshwank
Intermediate Defense against the Dark Arts by D. Fence
The Sky and the Stars by L. O. King
Intermediate Transfiguration by Emeric Switch
Potions and Antidotes by S. Pill
Wild magical plants, and how to handle them by Gar Den
A history of Magic 5 by Albert Waffling
Other Equipment:
1 wand
1 cauldron (pewter, standard size 4)
1 set glass or crysta phials
1 telescope
1 set brass scales
Students may also bring an owl OR a cat OR a toad.
"Ok." Harry said out loud. He was surprised at some of the things he would be needing. The
Intermediate Defiance against the Dark Arts book came as no surprise. But, The Sky and the
Stars was a bit unusual, as Harry had decided to drop Divination. But, he soon figured out,
it was probably for Astronomy, one of the subjects that he has chosen. Transfiguration,
Defense Against the Dark Arts, Potions, (sigh), History of Magic, Herbeology and
Divination would have made a full timetable. But, as he had just dropped Divination,
his timetable had a few spares in it, which would come in handy.
Harry then realized that Dudley would be needing some new things for school as well, and
maybe he could get a ride into London with them, and find his own way back.
Harry looked at his clock, and saw it was 6:57 am.
"Time for breakfast."
He thought, so he got up, dressed, and went downstairs to where the Dursley's were all
sitting. Uncle Vernon, while he wouldn't have been called fat, he was chubby. He had a
large, bushy moustache, very little neck, and it seemed to be his soul purpose to tell
Harry every chance he got that he needed a haircut. Then, there was Aunt Petunia, who
looked like she was skin and bone compared to her husband and son, Dudley, who hadn't put
on any weight, as Aunt Petunia had happily announced the night before. Harry felt that he
hadn't lost any weight either, as he had tried to point out, but was talked over by Uncle
Vernon who suddenly started talking about the weather.
They all looked different, and could hardly agree on anything, but they all agreed on one
thing: Harry. True, Dudley now completely ignored him, Aunt Petunia and Uncle Vernon only
talked to him when absolutely necessary, but this was better than being ignored completely,
he supposed.
"Morning." Harry said to everyone. He got a Grunt from Uncle Vernon, and a disapproving
'tut' from Aunt Petunia. Dudley continued to eat as if nothing had happened.
"When are you going to get Dudley's school things?" Harry tried, and was surprised when
he got an answer.
"Day after tomorrow," Uncle Vernon said, then added suspiciously, "Why?"
"Ohh, its just that I got my letter from Hog- I mean, school, this morning and I need to
get some new things." Harry said, throwing caution into the wind.
Then, Dudley looked up and asked, well, demanded " Can I go with him?"
"What?" said Uncle Vernon and Harry together.
"Why?" Uncle Vernon asked immediately.
"I just want to know where freaks do their shopping, and what sort of things are on the
market." Then, noticing the look on Harry's face, he added, "It should be fun."
"No." said Harry instantly, and started to make toast.
"Well," Uncle Vernon said, "If you really want to Dudley... OK."
"WHAT?!" Harry said, and it was obvious that Aunt Petunia was thinking the same sorts of
things.
"He can't come."
"Oh, he can and will," said Uncle Vernon, a huge grin spreading across his face. It seemed
that he had taken up his favorite hobby, making Harry as miserable as possible. "In fact,
you can look after him for that day. And if anything goes wrong boy, watch out."
Harry, who had been thinking about this matter, was suddenly jerked back to reality by the
smell and the clouds of smoke that the toaster was emitting.
"Damn." He said, and quickly got the toast, which was now pitch black, and put it into the
bin. He got himself a bowl of safe cereal and ate it quickly.
"After that, he went upstairs and lay on his bed, just thinking about the day after next.
What had changed Dudley's mind about wizards? His first encounter with a fully grown
wizard, well, let's just say that he came off second best, with a curly pigs tale attached
to his rather large rear end. Then, he had eaten a 'ton-tongue' toffee, (one of his best
friends twin brothers 'creations'), where his tongue grew to a size of four foot before
he could allow for it to be shrunken. Surly, he would not want anything to do with wizards
or witches. But, if he so desperately wanted, Harry could have a lot of fun with him.
A/N: Well, that's the first part. I hope you enjoyed it. The next part will be about the
trip down Diagon Ally, and the rest of the holidays. Not to mention Harry's birthday and
some painful memories of the previous year will be re-earthed. I'll try to get the next
one up ASAP, although your comments will make it arrive faster ::hint hint::
