The March to the Future
Chapter One
Rescue
It was a normal summers day on Privet Drive, all children of the street were outside playing or hanging around with their friends, all except one. Harry Potter was sitting in his bedroom of No 4 Privet Drive trying to do his summer assignments from school, He was currently trying to work on his Potions assignment for his least favourite Professor, Severus Snape. He was struggling with concentrating because his mind was slipping back to the events that happened mere weeks ago where his godfather Sirius Black was pushed through the Veil of Death whilst he was duelling his cousin the psycho Bellatrix Lestrange, Harry relived that moment again and again, hearing her shout Expelliarmus and seeing his godfather shot backwards and through the veil.
All of a sudden he was once again thrust from his musings by a shout from downstairs. "Boy get down here, NOW!" shouted his uncle Vernon Dursley. "Coming Uncle" Harry replied. Harry got up and went downstairs wondering either what he had done wrong this time, or what chore he had to complete. "Your aunt, cousin, and I, are going into town. You are going to go and be watched by Mrs. Figg". Mrs. Figg lived across the the road in Magnolia Crescent, and had a lot of cats. She was also a Squib, someone born to magical parent but with hardly any magic within them, though still enough not to be counted as a muggle, or non magic people, such as his uncle and family. As he walked up to her door, the door opened revealing not only Mrs. Figg, but also Professor Albus Dumbledore.
"Harry, my boy, it is to nice to see you. How have you been so far this summer." said the Professor. "I have been well sir." replied Harry. "But Harry you look as thin as a twig, and are those bruises on your arm?" "yes sir, but I would prefer not to talk about it." "are you sure Harry?, it does not look like something that should just be ignored, especially if it is, as I suspect, your relatives?". The look on Harry's face told Dumbledore everything he wanted to know. "Yes sir, it is my relatives." "But why Harry?" "because they don't believe in magic and never will, they believe they can "fix" me sir" "how exactly do they try to fix you Harry" said Dumbledore his voice suddenly turning very serious with a hint of anger "I don't want to say sir" "Harry, have they physically abused you in any way" "...". The silence gave the now furious professor all the information he heeded to know. "Harry, I have made a terrible mistake, give me a minute to think about all of this". "Harry, the house is empty at this moment in time, is it not?" "Yes sir, they have gone into London to go shopping and have some lunch." "Good, now Harry I want you to go and gather all of the stuff you own from that house and come straight back here, do you understand." "yes sir, I will be back soon." then Harry went back to No 4 Privet Drive for the last time.
Half an hour later harry returned with two muggle black bin bags, his book back, his trunk for school, and his owl Hedwig, in her cage. "Harry, I fear I have, yet again, let you down. I should have paid more attention to you when you came to school in your first year, maybe then you wouldn't have to go back to that house every summer. But no matter, I can assure you that you will never go back there again." He then Flooed the burrow where the Weasleys lived, and told them of the situation. Mrs. Weasley was more than happy for Harry to go and stay with them until school starts, and they worked on a new living arrangement.
When Harry stepped, or should I day fell out of the Floo network, like always, he was immediately swept up into a bone crushing hug from Mrs. Weasley, followed closely by Ginny, his best mate Ron's little sister. "Hello Harry, called out Ron from where he was playing chess with Fred or was it George, Harry had known the twins for 6 years and he still could not tell them apart. Of course the twins were unique in the way they spoke.
"Hello Harry-"
"Its good to see you-"
"We have a new product-"
"That we would like to show you-"
"Mimicking Marshmallows" they said together as usual.
"That's great boys, I will have a look later." said Harry.
Take your stuff upstairs Harry, you will be in Ron's room like usual." "Thank-you Mrs. Weasley.".
