A/N: Here's the first chapter of "Reading Harry's Rio Adventure Rewritten" I hope you all enjoy!
Chapter 1: Reading A New Monther
All of the champions where having a certain portion of their history read allowed to the entire school and selection of Beauxbations and Durmstrang students. Now it was Harry's turn. If the cover of his book was anything to go by, which had his animagus form on it, and the tile, Rio, He would probably be reminded of some fond memories. And some bad ones.
"I shall read the first chapter."Dumbledore said as the other two Heads had read the first chapters of their champions books and he Cedric's.
"Chapter 1: A New Mother." Read Professor Dumbledore.
Harry smiled. This was when his mum adopted him.
Where am I? Harry wondered as he woke up groggy. He had been shoved into his cupboard."
"ALBUS YOU SAID HE'D BE SAFE WITH THOSE DAMNED MUGGLES!" Minerva shouted in utter rage at the Headmaster nearly spitting in his face.
"I...I..." For once, the great Albus Dumbledore was speechless.
"I didn't stay with them long Professor McGonagall." Harry said.
"And why is that Mr. Potter?" Minerva asked more calmly to Harry while still glaring at Dumbledore.
"You'll see."
Karkaroff and Maxime looked disappointed at the Headmaster of Hogwarts. They both knew James and Lily had been his favorites. Why would he let their son suffer so.
Fleur looked questioningly at the Macaw on the cover of the book. It looked suspiciously like one she and her little sister Gabrielle met years ago at Carnaval in Rio de Janeiro that perched on her shoulder and allowed Gabrielle to stroke his feathers. The memory of the bird dancing to the samba rhythms still brought giggles to Grabrielle.
after the fat man had discovered his tie had been turned orange. (Several growls on Harry's behalf where heard, even from Krum, Fleur and Cedric) Soon after, he fell asleep so suddenly while crying. The two year old human opened his eyes. Why did everything seem so big? He stretched his wings. Wait a minute? Wings? He opened his eyes, suddenly alert. He lifted two small blue feathered wings.
"An animagus?" Krum asked in disbelief.
Harry smirked at him, then concentrated. Everyone watched as Harry transformed into a beautiful Blue Spix's Macaw. He flew around the Hall which amazed the younger, and older alike Quidditch players and landed on Fleur's shoulder and puffed his chest out with a smirk.
"So it was you zen?" Fleur asked as she tickled Harry under his chin and he purred his bird purr.
"Could you please explain Miss Delacour?" Albus asked.
"My family and I go to ze Carnaval parade in Rio de Janeiro every year." Fleur explained. "One year, when Gabrielle and I where very young, a young Blue Macaw landed on my shoulder and stayed there for a while. He even danced to ze music." She smiled at the fond memory. "He also allowed Gabrielle to stroke his feathers, which is something wild birds rarely do. The strange thing about this bird though, was zat 'E had a lightning streak in his head feathers like 'Arry does." She pointed
"What is Carnaval?" One of the Pureblood Slytherins asked.
Harry flew back to his seat and transformed back. "It is the biggest party in the world." He grinned. "Its a celebration that takes place 40 days before Easter. Which is the season of Lent for the Catholic religion. Its a sort of farewell party for the things Muggles give up for that season. If I'm right about what this story is you'll get an example."
His squawked in surprise. Then ran over to a nearby puddle and peeked in. He again, squawked in surprise. He was a birdie! A blue birdie! How? Was this why he was a freak?
"Freak?" Hermione asked icily.
"I didn't stay with them long." Harry reminded.
"And where did you go?"
"You'll see."
He sat down on his feathery behind and just stared up into the treetops, the moon shining through. Was he in a rainforest? He heard all kinds of insect sounds, birds chattering (He could hear like it was human speech) And sounds of a nearby human city. Where was he?
Wait a minute, if I'm a bird, I can fly! Harry thought excitedly. He looked at both his wings, and flapped them. He rose a few inches, then fell flat on his butt with a squeak.
A few Beauxbatons girls giggled.
Jewel was tired. She had been flying all day around the rainforest that was her home. The female Spix's Macaw settled down in a makeshift nest when she heard a young squeak. She looked down. A baby Blue Macaw! But where were his parents? She decided to say hi. Was he old enough to talk?
"Nope." Harry smiled. Hi mum. He thought.
"Aren't you precious?" Harry looked up to see a beautiful female blue birdie just like him! He opened his mouth but only a "cheep" came out.
"Aww." The Beauxbatons girls cooed and some Hogwarts girls. Harry blushed.
Guess he can't talk after all. Jewel thought. He's so adorable. "Are you alone? Where are your parents?" The chick looked sadly at her in confusion. I'll keep him. She decided. She picked up the baby Macaw in her wings and snuggled him. "Don't worry." She said calmly to soothe the whimpering chick. "I'll take care of you."
The young female population of the Hall awwed at the cuteness.
"So that's the mysterious mother you always talk about." Ron said in realization.
Harry smiled. He loved his mother.
"That was rather short." Parvati Patil said from the Ravenclaw table.
"Not much to tell." Harry said. "Was transported to Rio, transformed into a Macaw, and adopted by the last female."
"Rio?" A Hufflepuff asked in confusion.
"Oops." Harry said sheepishly. "It'll be explained next chapter."
"Ze next chapter is called "Blu's Arrival." Madame Maxime said as she accepted the book from Dumbledore.
" 'Oo is Blu?" Fleur asked in confusion at Harry.
"You'll see." Harry said mysteriously again as Madame Maxime began to read.
To Be Continued...
