Arnold and The truth about his parents.
Disclaimer: I don't own Hey Arnold or Harry Potter.
Author's Notes: For this story I am making it that Arnold's Grandfather and Grandmother are Hermoine's Father and Mother… and Harry and Hermoine are Arnolds Parents… got it?
Summery: A Hey Arnold and Harry Potter cross over. (Has H+H in it and also will eventually have A+H in it to…)
Prologue Ten years earlier
"I'm Sorry about doing this to you both… But we want Arnold to grow up in a safe place…and the only other people we could think of were Ron and Dudley, we didn't really want to put Ron up with looking after Arnold and I didn't want to put Arnold through the same thing as what happened in my youth." Harry said apologetically.
"And seeing as you two recently decided to move to America I thought it would be the safest place for Arnold. I mean with out You-Know-who being in England that is." Hermoine added.
"Its okay, really, just make sure your going to be safe fighting against him and come back as soon as you can." Phil said to his Daughter and Son in-law.
"We'll try to…" Harry and Hermoine said together.
"You'll enjoy it with us wont you Shortman?" 2-year-old Arnold nodded.
"Bye Arnold" Hermoine said giving her son a hug.
"Bye Arnold" Harry said giving him another hug.
"Bye, Bye Mamma, Bye, Bye Dada." Baby Arnold said waving at the door.
Present Time"Hey Arnold, Hey Arnold" Arnold slammed down his alarm clock angrily. It was the first day of summer vacation and he had forgotten to turn off his alarm clock. He then snuggled down into his bed and sighed. There was no use trying to go back to sleep now. He just couldn't. Arnold looked at the picture of his Parents by his bed. There was His dad with Brown hair and Glasses. For years Arnold wondered why his father was holding a broomstick in the picture but his Grandparents never offered a reasonable explanation.
He was just finishing cleaning his room. Arnold's Grandfather had said.
He had just finished playing a game… Arnold's Grandmother's was worse. What kind of game did you use a broom for? It just didn't make sense and when he asked about what his parents did the answers where never the same.
Their world explorers, they're out saving the world, their trying to stop a evil wizard from destroying the world as we know it. That last one had gotten Arnold to stop asking. He looked at his calendar and smiled. At least tomorrow he had something to look forward to. Tomorrow he was turning 11.
"Morning Shortman. Your up early." Arnold smiled at his Grandfather.
"Forgot to turn off my alarm clock." Arnold said sheepishly. Suddenly an Owl came in dropping a letter in Arnold's lap.
"I was wondering when that was going to come." Arnold's Grandfather said. Arnold tore it open wondering what was going to be inside. He read the letter out loud

"Is this school for real?" Arnold said in astonishment.
"It most certainly is. Your Father and Mother both went there."
"What does it mean 'We await your owl'? Is that some kind of code or something?"
"It means to send your reply… Kind of like normal mail except it gets there a lot faster."
"Oh okay… wait a second we don't have an Owl…"
"We can send this one…" Arnolds Grandfather said motioning to the owl that was still flying around the room.
"Okay then… how are we going to get to London?"
"Well… Pookie and I where going to London to catch up with some old friends of ours. I was going to see if you could stay at Gerald's… but if you want to you can come with us…"
"Yeah okay… why not?" Arnold agreed. Arnold's Grandfather took out a pen and wrote a quick note to the school, tied it on the leg of the owl and the owl flew away.
That means I'm not going to the same school as Gerald next year… Arnold thought to himself un-happily he then perked up but that also means I'm not going to the same school as Helga .G. Pataki next year. Arnold smiled at that thought. It seemed that Helga had picked on Arnold a lot last year. It had gotten so bad one stage Arnold had told her that if she kept on picking on him he was going to well… Arnold flinched just thinking about it. He blinked in surprise. He had been so lost in thought that he had reached the bottom of the stairs going up to his bedroom. He ran into his Grandfather before he went up the stairs.
"Oh Arnold… I suggest you better get packing… We're going in two days time." Two days time? How am I spouse to say goodbye to everyone then???
