Harry Potter And The Curse Of The Black Dragons
Chapter one- Harry's Birthday
Harry slowly opened his eyes. He had just been having a dream about his school, Hogwarts. He was back at the Dursley's and was counting the days until he could go back to his friends Ron and Hermione. He got up, put a shirt on and went over to the window. Harry gazed out over the sky; it was clear blue like an infinite expanse of ocean. He had sent Hedwig to Ron yesterday and was expecting her soon. It was 3 days until his birthday and he was expecting the usual from the Dursleys (an old sock or maybe if he was lucky a pound). To pass time he picked up his broom maintenance kit that Hermione had given him a few years ago for his birthday and tried to find something wrong with his broom. He heard a snort from the other room that sounded like Uncle Vernon. He suspected that he'd be waking up soon so Harry put his kit back under the floorboard (where he kept all his stuff that he wanted to keep hidden from the Dursleys.)
He straightened his bed out, went downstairs and found a comfy spot on the sofa. A few minutes later, he heard Dudley thump down the stairs. Dudley gave a disgusted glance over at Harry and waddled over to the table, hoping that maybe there would be food there. Uncle Vernon came down and barked at Harry "Go get some bacon ready for breakfast, and don't even try to snag any for yourself, boy, or you'll be in you room so fast... well you get the point" So, Harry set off to cook the bacon. He was a pretty good cook since he had been forced to cook breakfast for the Dursleys since he could remember. He found everyone in the kitchen when he had finished cooking. Vernon mumbled through a mouthful of bacon " Harry you can have some crackers, there in the left cupboard." Harry grabbed his breakfast and went upstairs. How he wished his birthday would come sooner. He usually got presents form his friends by owl post and sometimes he got pastries from Ron. He spent the rest of the day
looking at his homework books and hiding them whenever it sounded like someone was going by.
The 3 days until his birthday came and went very fast and on the morning of his 15^th birthday he got up as fast as he could and got dressed quickly. He heard a tapping at the window and looked over. To his surprise, Hedwig was there with three other owls. Harry let them in and let them all drink some water and rest. He took all the parcels and set them on his bed. He picked up the first one and read the letter:
Hi Harry how are you? Mom said that it would be okay if you came to our house for the last few weeks until term starts, but we aren't sure if the muggles will like us traveling by floo powder like the time when we went to the Quidditch cup last year. Fred and George have decided to try to start Weasly's Wheezes again and with the thousand Galleons you gave them last year on the train. They have already made quite a few items and have enclosed them in the box. As for my present I hope you like it, it seemed like a useful thing. Don't worry its not like Reeta Skeeter's! Reply as soon as you can so you can spend more time with us, ok?
Your friend,
Ron
Harry opened the box, which had come with the letter. There were two packages, he opened the first and found five suspicious candies and trinkets all with tags on them. He picked up the first and tore off the paper and saw a small brown ball, he picked it up and read: This is a bulging banger, and it is just as the name suggests, it makes the victim bloat up to twice their size and then with a pop restores them to normal after five minutes. Harry chuckled. It was just like Fred and George to make a candy that made you huge. Last year they had made a pastry called a canary cream that made you grow feathers. Harry set it down and opened the next four. One made you turn blue and sprout a tail, while another made you levitate much like fizzing whizbees but it also turned you upside down and shook you. He put Fred and George's stuff away and opened Ron's present. To his surprise he saw the same kind of quill that the annoying reporter Reeta Skeeter had had along with a dragon
hide carrying case and a bewitching manual to design the style in which the quill writes.
He smiled, now he could just sit back and not have to pay attention during history of magic because his quill would take notes for him! He opened Hermione's letter and read:
Dear Harry,
When my parents took me to Diagon alley last year this caught my eye and I bought it, but I totally forgot about it so I'm giving it to you now. It is called an Appawriter; it is a way of communicating when you, Ron and I are apart. All you have to do is write a message on the parchment and it shows up on the other two. I have already bewitched it so when you write it appears in green no matter what color of ink you use. Ron's colour is red and mine is purple. I know we might get into trouble but it is going to be very useful. Ron sent me an owl, telling me about the possibility of you going to Ron's, and if you do, I will come too. I hope you can!
Love,
Hermione
Harry opened the box and out fell three pieces of parchment, one with Harry's name in green at the top, another with Ron's name in red and the last with Hermione's name in purple. It really surprised him that Hermione would ever consider giving Harry something that could get him in trouble! But maybe she had changed over the summer. He put the papers back in their box and set them with the other presents. He took the next one and read the short letter from Hagrid:
I can't wait to see you at Hogwarts, Harry I cooked somthin for you, it's in the box, hope you like it.
Hagrid
Harry opened the box and found some muffins, and to his great surprise, they weren't burnt at all! He tasted one and it was quite nice. Harry read the last letter, which was from Sirius:
Dear Harry,
I don't think I can let this owl take your present. Ill have to give it to you later. I may be able to take you home with me next summer with a few arrangements. Talk to Dumbledore if you want.
Love,
Sirius
Harry was overjoyed at the thought that he might be able to live with Sirius; it was more than he could have ever hoped for!
He ran downstairs and asked Uncle Vernon " Can my friends pick me up so I can go to our school?" Uncle Vernon replied hesitantly "...Well...You can go if it's alright with Dudley" DUDLEY?! Harry thought, why would he decide? But all the same he asked him and Dudley said yes, so Harry ran back up to his room and replied to Ron saying that it was all right and to come as quickly as they could! He sent Hedwig off with the other owls, which were returning home.
It struck Harry that his Hogwarts letter hadn't come yet and he hoped it came soon because he would be going to Ron's house for the rest of the summer and would need to know what he needed. It was 3:00 before Harry went downstairs again and he was wondering whether the Dursleys had noticed his absence. But sure enough they hadn't noticed that he was gone and they were going along on their normal business. Dudley was staring at the TV and Uncle Vernon was at work. As for Petunia she was probably running some errands. He sat on the edge of the couch so he could just see the TV, and after the program he went upstairs. On his bed he saw the envelope he was so used to getting. He wondered how it had gotten in but then realized that he had left the window open. He walked over to his bed and opened it and read:
Dear Mr. Potter
Please note that the new school year will begin on September the first. The Hogwarts Express will leave from Kings Cross Station, platform nine and three-quarters at eleven o'clock. A list of books for next year is enclosed.
Yours Sincerely
Professor M. McGonagall
Harry felt relieved that it had arrived in time and stuffed the book list in his trunk. He decided to pack now because then he wouldn't need to pack in the morning, he was sure that when the Weaslys came it would be quite hectic judging on the last time they came to pick him up. He closed his door and fiddled with his Quick Quotes quill getting it to finish his homework. He finished just in time for dinner. He went down, ate, and went back up to his room and promptly fell asleep.
(A/N) hope you liked it I have the other chapters coming soon they are shorter though but I promise I will make it back to the good old long ones. PLEASE R/R I REALLY NEED MOTIVATION IF NO ONE REVEIWS I DON'T WANT TO GO ON!
