A/N Okay so it took awhile, but here it is. I am sorry to everyone who thinks that I am copying their idea's. I don't own Harry Potter J.K. Rowling does. Also anyone who has trouble following along may wanna get a copy of the book so that they can.


Starting on McGongall's left the seating order went Dumbledore, Moody, Tonks, and Snape. Harry, Ron, Hermione, Remus, and then Sirius sat across from them in that order. They books sat on a table in between the two groups. Mcgongall picked up the first book and started to read.

Mr. and Mrs. Dursley, of number four, Privet Drive, were proud to say that they were perfectly normal, thank you very much. They were the last people you'd expect to be involved in anything strange or mysterious, because they just didn't hold with such nonsense.

Harry, Ron, and Hermione snorted when they heard that. They blushed when the Professors gave them "Do not interrupt me look." Snape smirked at them.

(Mr. Dursley ... mustache.)

"Yea, it's the only thing that he can really be proud of." Harry commented while Hermione and Tonks giggled at the image.

(Mrs. Dursley ... neighbors.)

"So she has not changed over the years." Snape said with a look of disgust. Harry looked at Snape with a curious look on his face.

(The Dursleys ... Potters.)

"They make it sound as if Lily and James were criminals or something!" Sirius shouted.

"Mr. Black do not interupt me while I'm reading, but I do agree with you." McGongall said while glaring at Dumbledore.

(Mrs. Potter ... that.)

"I really dislike them, alot." Remus stated with an angry face. Everyone except Dumbledore nodded in agreement, even the children did thinking back to the summer before second year.

(When ... country.)

All the adults shared a look as if they knew what had happened that day.

(Mr. Dursley ... walls.)

"No child should be allowed to get away with a tantrum like that." McGongall said while sending a disapproving glare at thebook

("Little tyke," ... sight.)

Sirius smirked, "I bet 5 galleons that the tabby is McGonagall."

"I'll take you up on that bet." Tonks replied.

McGonagall and Dumbledore faces grew grim. They knew what day it was.

(What ... back.)

Sirius giggled at the thought of money. Harry just grinned and elbowed Sirius in the ribs.

(As Mr. Dursley ... day.)

Harry scowled, "Greedy son of a nutcracker." Everyone except, Snape and Moody, started either laughing or smiling.

"Harry that's an insult to the nutcracker." Hermione said in between giggles.

(But ... people!)

"Hey they are not funny clothes!" Tonks yelled as her hair turned red.

"To muggles, muggleborn, and muggle raised seeing them for the first time yes they are funny." Harry explained to wizards.

(He ... by.)

(They ... drills.)

"Don't pay attention to any of his insults." Harry said when he noticed some of the adults were looking angry at what Mr. Dursley said.

(Mr. Dursley ... people.)

All of the adults, except for Snape, were angry because let's face it. He yells at the students all the time.

"How can it be normal for a person other than Snape to yell at people?" McGongall asked.

Harry shook his head, "That's just how he is I guess. Dudley and Petunia are the same way." Remus growled.

(He ... bakery.)

"That man is going to die of heart disease." Remus said while looking a little disgusted. He had seen Vernon when he dropped Harry off at Kings cross at the start of the year. Harry, Ron, and Hermoine just nodded their heads.

(He'd ... saying.)

Sirius and Remus groaned. They just figured out what day it was.

("The ... stupid.)

"When does he ever have a smart thought?" Tonks asked. When he is trying to think of ways to punish me Harry thought.

(Potter ... Harold.)

"Did he ever get your name right or even say it at all?" Ron asked

"I'm not sure." Harry replied. All the adults shared a look, wondering what that question was about.

(There ... cloaks...)

"It might be a good idea to update the muggle studies class." Hermione said to Dumbledore and McGonagall.

"Ohh and why is that Ms. Granger?" Dumbledore asked.

"The class is very outdated. Muggles have advanced alot. Also the class should be taught by a muggleborn or muggle raised. We know a lot more about the current muggle world than purebloods who have only been to the world a few time."

"That is a lot to consider, but you do make some good points Ms. Granger." Dumbledore said. Harry was surprised to see that Snape was agreeing with him.

He found it a lot harder to concentrate on drills that afternoon and when he left the building at five o'clock, he was still so worried that he walked straight into someone just outside the door.

("Sorry," ... day!")

"Why do I feel as if I should know that man?" McGonagall asked.

"I believe that it might be Diggle," Dumbledore replied, "He seems to be the sort to do something like that." All the adults who knew the man nodded their heads.

(And ... imagination.)

Harry laughed, "He can use his imagination when coming up with new chores." Ron and Hermione hugged Harry. Snape wpndered what that was all about.

(As ... eyes.)

I am so gonna win that money Sirius thought.

("Shoo!" ... wife.)

Snape scowled at the mention of Vernon's wife. He must have met her before. I wonder what the story is behind that.

(Mrs. Dursley ... evening news:)

("And finally, ... Jim?")

Hermione started giggling. Soon most of the people in the room lost it because they imagined the look on the faces' of the muggles.

("Well, Ted," ... me.")

"No it's not. He was named after his great grandfather." Sirius ground out. Harry looked at Sirius. He never knew that.

"Oh, yes," said Mr. Dursley, his heart sinking horribly. "Yes, I quite agree."

(He didn't ... affect them...)

How very wrong he was.

"I don't ever remember a time when he was right." Harry Snorted.

(Mr. Dursley ... all.)

A man appeared on the corner the cat had been watching, appeared so suddenly and silently you'd have thought he'd just popped out of the ground. The cat's tail twitched and its eyes narrowed.

"I am so gonna win that money." Sirius said. McGonagall just glared at him for interrupting her.

(Nothing ... boots.)

Hermione giggled at the description of the robes. Dumbledore's eyes started twinkling full blast.

"That has to be Professor Dumbledore. I've never seen any other person wear robes like that." Sirius stated.

(His ... Albus Dumbledore.)

"Hah! Told you!" Sirius exclaimed.

(Albus ... known.")

McGonagall stopped reading for a second so she could glare at Dumbledore.

(He ... it.)

"That would be my deluminator. Very handy in the muggle realm." Dumbledore's eyes started twinkling even more than before.

"Fancy seeing you here, Professor McGonagall."

(He ... ruffled.)

Tonks groaned and handed Sirius the money. McGonagall just smirked.

("How ... them.")

"It's lucky it's dark. I haven't blushed so much since Madam Pomfrey told me she liked my new earmuffs."

Harry, Ron, and Hermione started laughing at the thought.

(Professor ... him?")

Remus started growling and Sirius started looking upset. Harry shared a look with Ron and Hermione. He got up and moved to sit down in between Sirius and Remus. Sirius hugged Harry to his side and Remus put his arm around his "Cubs" shoulder. Harry looked a little startled at first then he relaxed. Snape saw this and frowned.

(It seemed ... - dead. ")

Everyone started looking grim. Sirius just hugged Harry closer.

Dumbledore bowed his head. Professor McGonagall gasped.

("Lily ... gone.)

Sirius, Remus, Hermione, and Ron looked glum at that statement.

(Dumbledore ... left now.")

Harry looked upset at that thought.

"You don't mean - you can't mean the people who live here?" cried Professor McGonagall, jumping to her feet and pointing at number four.

"Dumbledore - you can't. I've been watching them all day. You couldn't find two people who are less like us. And they've got this son - I saw him kicking his mother all the way up the street, screaming for sweets. Harry Potter come and live here!"

"It's the best place for him," said Dumbledore firmly. "His aunt and uncle will be able to explain everything to him when he's older. I've written them a letter."

Sirius and Remus growled and started getting angry. Snape looked as if someone punched him in the gut. Ron, Hermione, and McGonagall started glaring at Dumbledore, whho looked upset. Tonks hair turned red.

("A letter?"... it?")

Harry started looking angry.

"Anyone who knows Harry would know that that would never happen." Hermione said looking upset.

"Yea it doesn't take a genius to figure out that Harry hates being famous." Ron stated. Snape looked shocked. Nobody noticed except Harry.

(Professor McGonagall ... twinkled.)

"Wait," Harry asked, "You have a flying motorcycle?"

"You bet ya. You used to love going up in it when you were a baby. Why?"

"I used to have a dream about it." Harry said before looking at Ron.

"I hope it's better than Mr. Weasley's car." Harry stated. Ron nodded his head.

" What's up with his car?" Remus asked.

"Spoilers." Harry, Ron, and Hermione said at the same time. Sirius pouted.

(If the motorcycle ... lightning.)

Harry rubbed his scar looking glum.

"Did you know that before I know how I got it I liked my scar?" Harry said looking around.

"Really! Why?" Ron asked.

"I always thought that it made me look unique." Harry replied while shrugging.

("Is ... with.")

Hermione and Tonks looked a little creeped out about Dumbledore's scar.

(Dumbledore ... number four.)

Sirius and Remus started looking mad.

("Good luck, Harry," ... lived!")

McGonagall closed the book.

"You left Harry on on a doorstep in the middle of the night in November with a letter." Sirius ground out.

"I will admit that it was a bad idea." Dumbledore said while shrinking back. McGonagall looked angry.

"Bad idea. It was a terrible idea!" Mcgonagall shouted.

"Calm down. You can chew him out later after we go to bed." Harry said while looking at the book.

"Alright. But understand this Albus we will continue this." McGongall stated while glaring at him. Dumbledore nodded.

"Who's gonna read next?" Harry asked while looking around.

"I will my boy." Dumbledore said while taking the book. Harry flinched a little at being called boy. Snape and Sirius shared a look. It seemed that they were the only one's who noticed.
