Harry Potter and the Halfblood Prince
Chapter 1
Spinners End
Harry woke up more tired than when he had fallen asleep. An own was pecking furiously at his
window. Dudley was the cause of his fitful night of sleep. Yesterday after his fourteenth attempt
Dudley had managed to pass the exam which allowed him to drive with a parent in the car.
Dudley was having a loud party downstairs with a couple of friends while Harry was trying to
complete a tough essay on the transfiguration of humans using potions. (Assigned by Snape of
course.) The celebration had lasted until 4:00 a.m. when the police came and asked them to
keep it down.
Harry groggily flung open the window. The cool breeze refreshed him slightly as he worked to
untie the newspaper from the owl's outstretched leg. After freed of its cargo the owl flew off
with a soft hoot.
Harry yawned and took the folded newspaper with him as he headed down for breakfast. He
fixed himself some toast and orange juice and sat down at the kitchen table to read the
newspaper. He loved watching Uncle Vernon's face turn purple, Aunt Petunia wrinkle her nose,
and Dudley recoil in fear as they saw the moving faces on the front of the paper."Good
morning," Harry greeted in a mock cheerful voice.
Aunt Petunia glared at him and said to her Duddykins, "Daddy and I have a surprise for you,
Honey."
Dudley grinned greedily, "What is it?"
"Well, Son," Uncle Vernon said as he handed Dudley a car key, "it's all yours."
"We're so proud of you," squealed Aunt Petunia as she hugged her massive son. Dudley leapt
up from the table and tottered as fast as his legs could carry him towards the driveway followed
quickly by his parents. Harry ran up to his bedroom and watched from up above. Through the
open window he heard Dudley yell,
"Cool, spinners! Mum can I take it for a drive? Please!!!" begged Dudley.
"Alright Son, but take it slowly." Dudley squeezed his fat body into the car and set off like a
bullet nearly missing mailboxes and garbage cans as he sped by. Harry saw the opportunity and
grabbed his broomstick, invisibility cloak, and a bag of fresh owl droppings from Hedwig's cage.
Then he set out to follow Dudley. Flying high above, Harry quickly spotted the car and dove
after it. Dudley had slowed down the car in an obvious attempt to let everyone see the new car
and who was driving it.
Harry poured a drop of the mess from the bag onto Dudley's car. SPLAT! Right in the middle
of the front windshield the droppings landed and smeared everywhere. Dudley tried to use the
windshield wiper to clear the mess, but only succeed in smearing it everywhere. Harry waited a
little while and poured a little more. Dudley opened the sunroof to look for the problem bird.
Harry dumped a large amount into the open roof. Harry saw Dudley mouth something that
resembled a swearword. Harry dumped the remaining contents of the bag onto Dudley's car.
Dudley took his eyes off the road once more to look for the bird and sent the car straight into a
light pole with a sickening crunch.
Harry was said to discover that Dudley got out of the car unharmed, but the look on Dudley's
face was priceless. Harry swooped down closer to try to hear what Dudley was saying. Harry
could only make out some of the words.
"Tow...and Dad...Kill...Fix it..." then said more audibly, "I'll steal a credit card and have it fixed."
That's all for now! Please review. I will update again soon.
